In July 2012 the Miss GEICO racing team faced a devastating set-back when their World Champion powerboat suffered an internal fire and was engulfed in flames. The flare-up began in the engine compartment and quickly overpowered the traditional HCFC gas fire protection system. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the reigning queen of extreme unlimited class racing was dead in the water.
Traditional fire systems use stored dry chemical or gas suppressant in pressurized tanks. Aerosol fire systems are different. They pack an advanced agent into small, unpressurized stainless steel generators that remain inert until the system actuates in response to fire. Then, a chemical process generates a highly-effective, micron-sized agent that floods the area and quickly suppresses the fire.
A Stat-X aerosol fire system was evaluated against traditional halogenated gas fire suppressants.

Materials specific for the Miss GEICO installation only. List varies depending on the particular hazard protected.
A Stat-X aerosol fire suppression system was installed in the Miss GEICO IV extreme unlimited class racing boat prior to the 2013 racing season.
Actual installation was done by the Miss GEICO Racing rigging crew. This gave the flexibility needed so the system could be installed during a regular maintenance cycle to minimize racing downtime.
Stat-X operator panel fits neatly in the boat console.

Q: spherical buildings for non-split groups I am looking for references to explicit descriptions of Tits buildings for semisimple (classical) Lie groups via language of incidence geometry. Such descriptions are well-documented in the case of split groups in many sources (e.g. in Garrett's book), but there is hardly anything available in the non-split case. I know how to do so in the pseudo-orthogonal case (groups O(p,q)). In principle, I could run similar arguments for other types (unitary groups over complex numbers, quaternions, etc.), but it is a bit tedious, so I am looking for a reference.

A: Misha, Tits' Lecture Note "Buildings of spherical type and finite BN pairs"
gives a fairly explicit description of the buildings associated to the
classical groups (not just the split ones). I also wrote a survey called
"Buildings and classical groups" (arXiv:math/0307117)
which appeared in print some years ago.
These sources deal with general fields and division rings. Of course,
some details become easier over the reals, the complex numbers and the
quaternions, partly because one does not have to worry about characteristic 2.
The buildings associated to hermitian or symplectic forms (and hence to
orthogonal, unitary or symplectic groups) are also called polar spaces.
Under this name, one can find lots of references.
Here are some more details, based on Section 2.7 in my article arXiv:math/0307117.
Since we are interested in Lie groups, we are dealing with finite dimensional
modules over the reals, the complex numbers or the real quaternions.
We are given a nondegenerate $(\sigma,\epsilon)$-hermitian form $h$ on
a finite dimensional right module $V$ over
$\mathbb K=\mathbb R,\mathbb C,\mathbb H$.
This means that $\epsilon=\pm 1$, that $\sigma$ is an involution
(an anti-automorphism whose square is the identity) on $\mathbb K$ and
that $h$ is a $\sigma$-sesqulinear form on $V$, with
$$h(u,va)=h(u,v)a=\epsilon h(va,u)^\sigma\qquad\forall u,v\in V,\ a\in\mathbb K$$
and with $V^\perp=0$. A submodule $W$ is called totally isotropic if
$W\subseteq W^\perp$. The building is the simplicial complex consisting
of all (partial) flags consisting of totally isotropic subspaces.
If we rescale the hermitian form $h$ by multiplying it by a (suitable)
nonzero scalar, the building is obviously not changed.
Up to this rescaling process, there are the following cases.
1) Symplectic groups over $\mathbb R,\mathbb C$, where
$\sigma=id_{\mathbb K}$ and $\epsilon=-1$.
2) Orthogonal groups  over $\mathbb R,\mathbb C$, where
$\sigma=id_{\mathbb K}$ and $\epsilon=1$.
3) Unitary groups over $\mathbb C,\mathbb H$, where
$a^\sigma=\bar a$ is the standard conjugation and $\epsilon=1$.
4) Unitary groups over $\mathbb H$, where
$a^\sigma=-i\bar a i $ and $\epsilon=1$.
In case 1) and 2), the building has simplicial dimension $m-1$, were
$\dim(V)=2m$.
In case 3) the building has simplicial dimension
$m-1$, and the form $h$ has signature $(m,m+k)$ for $k\geq 0$.
In case 4), the building has simplicial dimension
$m-1$, and $\dim V=2m$ or $\dim V=2m+1$.
In case 2), if $k=0$, then
the building is not thick. If one want a thick building, one has
to consider instead the "oriflamme geometry" which is explained
for example in Tits' Lecture Note.

Arc of History on the ski slopes?
If you saw a group of people giddily clinking glasses at the Ore House on Tuesday, you might want to find out what they were celebrating.
They were the Top Fundraising Team and the Top Theme Team at the Dave Spencer Ski Classic at the end of February, and the award comes with $50 gift cards thanks to the generosity of the folks at the restaurant.
Dave Trautmann's team raised $18,000.
It seems like the variations on the theme of the Arc of History are endless and endlessly entertaining.
Trautmann's team – which also included Brian Shafer, Miles Lillard and Michelle and Mark James – took on the theme as the T. Rex Tumblers, putting on their creative caps to get the sculpture fit for skiing. Lillard used his mojo on some Domino's Pizza boxes, so they became the rocks. Trautmann took on the tail, scoring a vaccuum hose, nozzle intact, at the Methodist Thrift Shop. And Shafer, continuing his run as the top fundraiser who's also an Adaptive Sports participant at the event, with $7,000, became the dinosaur head. In fact, he had two dinosaur heads, a large one for the costume competition and a smaller one he could put atop his helmet so he could get under the safety bar on the lift and ski. Trautmann raised almost $4,700, and Lillard brought in $5,800, so they came in first and second place in the Top Fundraising Adult Category.

Catch Me @ The Underbelly Review
Flip Fabrique are the exciting circus fresh faces from Canada, which has brought us many sensational circus acts such as Cirque Du Soleil and Les Doigt. The company was created in 2011 by graduates of Quebec City Circus School. They performed extensively with esteemed companies around the world such as Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize.
The company adopts a creative and collaborative approach developed entirely by its artists and director. This approach spotlights each performer's qualities and strengths.
The identity of the troupe comes from the true emotions behind each artist's eyes. They are all true friends that journey in the same direction. Their show is about their friendship and the feelings they have for each other.
Flip Fabrique perform at the Underbelly stage at the Southbank, celebrating it's ninth year. Catch Me attempts the story of a group of friends reuniting at a cottage, with dazzling circus acts in Hoop, Straps, and Wall Trampoline. The cast are clearly enjoying themselves and it is highly infectious, with a cast of five men and one female it's hard for her not to play the stereotype. It immediately becomes political just by her merely being the only female, she is accepted as 'one of the guys'. This is just a reminder that the gender imbalance with contemporary circus still exists.
The circus acts within themselves are world class and their talent cannot be diminished. A stunning straps act is performed above the heads of the group of friends while they are reminiscing over a photo album. A beautiful duo CYR wheel wows the audience but the finale act of Wall trampoline tops the night.
It's a shame the humour is simple and silly and at times feels like a weak through line in between the acts. This is what lets the company down as each individual skill is astounding but the weak story line does nothing for the show. It's still an enjoyable show and the cast stay true to their ethos by promoting 'joy, playfulness and friendship'. 3/5
Review written by Jessica Andrade.
Catch Me is currently showing at the Underbelly, Southbank until Saturday 30th September. For more information on the production, visit here…

Bulldogs' Fall Schedule Revealed
Published 4:34 pm Monday, August 1, 2022
By Special to the Item
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Next month, Mississippi State's men's golf program will begin its pursuit of a fifth NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Dusty Smith. The Bulldogs revealed the fall portion of their schedule on Monday, with the first of four tournaments beginning on Sept. 7.
"It's always our goal to play a challenging schedule against great competition and to test our game on courses that will prepare us for championship season," Smith said. "I feel this schedule allows us to do just that. We look forward to starting this journey."
State opens the season at the Frederica Cup, hosted by Vanderbilt in Sea Island, Georgia. Sea Island is also the annual home of the SEC Men's Golf Tournament, though that event is played on a different course. The Bulldogs will play three rounds of stroke play at Frederica Golf Club over the two-day event.
MSU then turns its focus to its conference foes. After the success of last year's SEC Match Play event, the league is holding the SEC Fall Preview on Sept. 25-27 at Old Overton Club in Birmingham, Alabama. This is the same course that annually holds the Jerry Pate Intercollegiate, which graduate studentFord Clegg won in 2020.
State returns to Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas for the Blessings Collegiate Invitational on Oct. 3-5. The event will be broadcast live on the GOLF Channel from 3:30-6:30 p.m. CT each day. The Bulldog men and the Bulldog women will compete side-by-side on the same course. Both programs played in the inaugural event in 2020, with the men finishing ninth.
To conclude the fall, MSU will travel to Charleston, South Carolina, for the Daniel Island Intercollegiate on the Ralston Creek Course at Daniel Island Golf Club. The final fall event was first hosted by Charleston Southern in 2021.

Right Upper Quadrant Pain: When Should I Call the Surgeon?
Author: David S. Morris, M.D.
A patient comes into the emergency department with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. You have seen the patient and ordered all the tests. So, which patients with right upper quadrant pain should be seen by the surgeon in the emergency department?
Obviously, this list spans several medical and surgical specialties and making the diagnosis is important in determining whom to call for management. Many of these causes also can be successfully managed in the ED without hospital admission. Many are medical in nature, and of the diseases that may require surgical treatment, many are not urgent or emergent and outpatient surgical referral can be made.
So which patients should be seen by the surgeon in the ED? Which causes of RUQ pain are emergent and need to be seen in the middle of the night? This article will not touch on the atypical causes of surgical right upper quadrant pain (appendicitis, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia) nor will the pediatric causes be discussed (pyloric stenosis). The focus of this article will be on differentiating symptomatic cholelithiasis from cholecystitis and appropriate management of cholangitis with and without concomitant cholecystitis.
Gallstone disease is extremely common in the United States, with approximately 6% of men and 9% of women having asymptomatic gallstones. Only about one third of patients with gallstones will develop symptoms requiring surgery. Thus the presence of gallstones on imaging studies is not, in itself, sufficient to give a diagnosis. In addition, imaging studies are fraught with some degree of uncertainty (see below). Fortunately, the vast majority of patients with symptomatic gallstone disease have a history that is revealing.
Patients will typically (>95%) become symptomatic when there is obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone. Occasionally, patients without stones may experience signs and symptoms similar to gallstone obstruction (acalculous cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, etc.), but these episodes are often self-limited and patients are less likely to seek care in the emergency department. Obstruction of the cystic duct with contraction of the gallbladder leads to a very typical acute RUQ pain. This is termed "biliary colic" and often resolves over a short period of time after the gallstone moves out of the cystic duct (either back into the gallbladder or downstream into the common bile duct). Patients who have resolution of symptoms (i.e. pain relief that is independent of narcotic administration) can be dismissed from the emergency department with outpatient follow up scheduled with a surgeon.
If the obstruction persists, this leads to a local inflammatory process in the gallbladder wall and persistent pain. This pain can eventually lead to focal, somatic abdominal pain and focal peritonitis as the inflammatory process spreads to the parietal peritoneum. In fact, RUQ pain from gallbladder obstruction that persists for >6 hours is diagnostic of acute cholecystitis even in the setting of normal or equivocal imaging or laboratory findings. Patients who have pain lasting longer than 6 hours do not have symptomatic cholelithiasis and should be evaluated by the surgeon in the ED.
Imaging findings for patients with gallstone-related RUQ pain can be normal or equivocal. Ultrasound findings of acute cholecystitis include gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening (>3 mm), positive sonographic Murphy's sign (pain with pressure over the gallbladder with the ultrasound probe), and/or pericholecystic fluid. The estimated sensitivity and specificity of these findings for acute cholecystitis is approximately 85% and 95%, respectively (Smith JA. In Clinical Ultrasound, 3rd Ed., Allan PL, Baxter GM, Weston MJ, eds. 2011. Elsevier Limited). Patients who present with early acute cholecystitis may not demonstrate these classic findings, and their absence should not be interpreted as an absence of clinical acute cholecystitis. Ultrasound is also operator and interpreter dependent, and the sensitivity and specificity in actual practice may vary from the numbers quoted here.
Computed tomography may be used to make the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, particularly when the patient presents atypically. CT is able to detect only about 75% of gallstones, but pericholecystic inflammation and gallbladder wall thickening is readily apparent. Gallbladder wall thickening is nonspecific, however, and may represent chronic liver disease, intraperitoneal inflammatory conditions (ascites, peritoneal dialysis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, etc.), or right-sided heart failure.
Given the uncertainty of the imaging studies, the decision for imaging must be based on clinical history. If the patient's presentation and time course of symptoms is highly suspicious for acute cholecystitis, consultation with a surgeon in the ED may be appropriate even if the imaging studies are equivocal. For example, a patient who presents with typical RUQ pain that has persisted for 8 hours after eating a high fat meal, with RUQ tenderness and/or Murphy's sign and leukocytosis, but with only gallstones seen on US or CT, should be evaluated by a surgeon. The decision to operate may be deferred until a more optimal time (for example, first thing the following morning).
Acute cholecystitis should be managed by prompt cholecystectomy, or gallbladder drainage (percutaneous cholecystostomy tube) in patients who have unacceptable surgical risk. Studies (Gutt, Ann Surg. 2013; Gurusamy, Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013; Lo, Ann Surg. 1998) have shown that delay in removal of the gallbladder (>3 days) leads to increased rates conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy and higher rates of complications. Patients who require ICU management of septic shock or mechanical ventilation should have percutaneous drainage in the acute phase followed by cholecystectomy after an interval of several weeks (typically 6-8) after reversal of the shock state and optimization of other medical comorbidities. Laparoscopic placement of a drainage catheter can be performed in patients who will tolerate a general anesthetic where interventional radiologic expertise is unavailable.
Patients with choledocholithiasis (stones or sludge in the common bile duct) often present with RUQ pain, but lack the typical history of acute cholecystitis. They may present with or without pain, and are more likely to present with jaundice. Patients with jaundice need to be evaluated for common bile duct pathology, as this may be the initial sign of pancreatic or biliary malignancy. Diagnosis of these conditions is imperative, as the treatment approach may change dramatically.
There is ongoing debate about the optimal management of CBD stones. Typically, cholecystectomy is part of the treatment process to decrease the chance of future episodes of cholelithiasis. The optimal timing of the cholecystectomy from a patient care and resource utilization standpoint has not been definitively proven. Some authorities advocate endoscopic CBD evaluation (ERC) and stone extraction attempts prior to cholecystectomy, with surgical CBD exploration reserved for those patients whose stones cannot be extracted via endoscopic routes. Others maintain that many stones can be managed intraoperatively at the time of cholecystectomy, with ERC reserved for those patients whose stones remain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This decision is often provider and institution dependent.
Patients with acute cholecystitis may present with choledocholithiasis and jaundice. Cholecystectomy or gallbladder drainage should not be delayed for ERC in this group of patients even in the setting of markedly elevated bilirubin or other very high risk factors for choledocholithiasis. As noted above, delay in cholecystectomy or gallbladder drainage results in unacceptably high rates of conversion to open procedures and postoperative complications. Thus the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is imperative to make early on.
Confounding the fairly straightforward treatment process advocated above is the patient who presents with acute cholangitis. If a patient presents with signs or symptoms of RUQ pain, jaundice, and fever (Charcot's triad) or Charcot's triad plus septic shock and mental status changes (Reynold's pentad), the patient should be treated for ascending cholangitis. Treatment primarily consists of drainage of the CBD, primarily via ERC. Inflammation of the gallbladder may be present in these cases, but operative morbidity and mortality is high and should be avoided. It may be possible to provide gallbladder drainage via ERC, with stenting of the cystic duct. If this is not possible, the patient should have percutaneous gall bladder drainage. Cholecystectomy should be deferred until resolution of the cholangitis and the inciting factors are addressed. Thus, patients with ascending cholangitis may be admitted to non-surgical services, with close follow up by the surgeon. Consultation from a surgeon may be appropriate in the ED to confirm the diagnosis and participate in creating the plan of care.
RUQ pain due to gallstones can be a difficult from a diagnostic and management perspective. Many of these patients require urgent or emergency interventions that may be provided by specialists in different disciplines. A patient with simple symptomatic cholelithiasis, whose pain resolves, can have follow up in the outpatient setting. Patients with acute inflammation should be evaluated in the ED by a surgeon to help make the diagnosis and craft a plan of care that likely will include cholecystectomy as part of the management.


the Greenwitch Market amazing, veraety of food ,great atmosphire, near the market you have a big park you can hang out.. at the middle f the park there is an obbservatorry and the greenwitch Line. we really enjoyed this part of London.
If you live not far, you can take a walk to Greenwich like me. You can see gorgeous park, fantastic museum and university camp, Cutty Sark and breathtaking view from the hill. It,s worth to spend here a day.
Love Greenwich. Can get there by bus, train or boat up the Thames. Wonderfully scenic water journey. Delightful gardens, museums, tea shops, antique shops, great walking and not endlessly noisy or smoggy.
Get quick answers from Greenwich staff and past visitors.
Hi Tammy, where did you stay in Greenwich, London?
Hi, well I actually was born & bred in London, but if you want to stay in Greenwich, there are a couple of Hotels on the Greenwich Peninsula. I believe 1 is a Holiday Inn. Hope this helps & I hope you enjoy your stay.
You could get the bus to the North Greenwich Penninsula Train Stn and then get the Jubilee Line through to Green Park then change platforms at Green Park to Heathrow.

Q: A new type of Cauchy sequence
I have very little idea about how to approach this question. It doesn't make any sense to me how this can be Cauchy. Any insight into it would be greatly appreciated.

A: HINT: Suppose that $\langle a_n:n\in\Bbb N\rangle$ is Daudhy, and let $\epsilon>0$. There is a $T\in\Bbb N$ such that $d(a_j,a_k)<\frac{\epsilon}2$ whenever $T<j<2T<k$. Use the triangle inequality to show that $d(a_j,a_k)<\epsilon$ whenever $j,k>2T$ and conclude that the sequence is Cauchy.


To help save some of Africa's most endangered animals, Canadian high realist artist Daniel Taylor and the African Conservation Foundation established ArtSavingWildlife — The Endangered Species Project. The project was originally set up in 2004, starting small-scale, as a ground-breaking approach to raising funds for conservation. Currently more and more artists with a passion for nature, wildlife and conservation are joining the group.

Mike Dreznes, 2022 Traffic and Safety Forum keynote speaker, urges action on road safety
130+ attend annual conference hosted by InTrans, Iowa DOT
Anuj Sharma, InTrans research scientist, leads one of a series of TAS Talks during the 2022 Traffic and Safety Forum
The 2022 Traffic and Safety Forum keynote speaker Mike Dreznes made the case that road traffic injuries and deaths are a "forgotten pandemic" that needs to be addressed with the same fervor as the global response to COVID-19.
Dreznes, a retired senior vice president for the International Road Federation, then offered the 130+ forum attendees his vision of a world with "road safety vaccines."
After offering up statistics to highlight the "forgotten" part of the pandemic—3,700 deaths per day worldwide for an estimated 1,350,000 killed on highways around the globe this year, not including injuries—Dreznes focused on the roadway preventative treatments that would be akin to a "vaccine."
He pointed to the Second Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021–2030) and its adoption of the Safe System approach to address potential roadway hazards likely to result in injuries.
Later in the afternoon, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Senior Safety and Geometric Design Engineer Steve Ratke gave a technical presentation on the FHWA's Safe System approach.
The five pillars of the Safe System approach, per the FHWA, are safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, safe roads, and post-crash care.
For the forum attendees, consisting mostly of traffic engineers, Dreznes focused largely on the "safe roads" aspects, noting that roadway treatments must understand and forgive human error. Thus, he suggested three measures to address a known safety concern that are in order as follows:
Get rid of the hazard where possible
Make it so road users can avoid the hazard
Make the hazard less dangerous
"Do what you can while you can do it, … and if it's not safe, don't do it," Dreznes said.
The Traffic and Safety Forum is an annual fall event organized and hosted by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University. The purpose of the forum is to enable traffic and safety engineering professionals to learn about new and innovative systems and processes, share individual experiences, and collectively address issues of interest.

In a shocking development affecting the acclaimed musicians of the carnatic tradition, it has come to light that artistes like T M Krishna, O S Arun and Nithyasree Mahadevan have been harangued by some fringe groups in India and the US for performing songs on Christian or supposedly non-Hindu themes.
It has been reported that many musicians have received threats by right wing Hindu organisations, for bringing people and religions together on a musical platform. Some of them have been bullied into making apologies and cancelling concerts. O. S. Arun was invited by T. Samuel Joseph, a long time student and teacher of Carnatic music to render Carnatic compositions on Christ. Arun was attacked online and pressure was put on him to cancel. Within days, WhatsApp and social media clippings of Nithyasree Mahadevan rendering a Christian song also began circulating with comments to establish disapproval. Reportedly, the SSVT Temple in Washington DC which had invited T.M.Krishna to sing, cancelled the invitation at the behest of self-appointed Hindu gatekeepers.
A statement condemning these attacks and asserting the freedom of speech, expression and religion of all these musicians (and the aficionados of their music) signed by about 200 eminent citizens has been released today. The statement initiated by Ashok Vajpeyi and Aruna Roy has been signed by former judges Justice A P Shah and Justice K Chandru and several senior personalities from the arts and culture fraternity. Girish Karnad, Shyam Benegal, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Anand Patwardhan, Leela Samson, Shubha Mudgal, Malavika Sarukkai, Mallika Sarabhai, and Tripurari Sharma also figure among the signatories.
In the climate of social policing and restrictions on writers, thinkers and artists, the ecent attacks on Carnatic musicians of repute, has again raised the sceptre of fear. This reflects the failure of the rule of law and constitutional guarantees. It is alarming that neither independent institutions such as the courts nor the governments whose duty it is to protect democratic space and freedom of expression, have stepped in to take decisive steps to end this menace.

When you will start to learn trading and analysis. You will find out about candlestick patterns. I am assuming you all know about Candles. If not read our post "What is Bears, Bulls & Candles? Forex Fundamentals." So, lets start about the Candlestick Patterns.
You will find several candlestick patterns when you research online. We have collected them all for you in one page.
A Doji is formed when the opening price and the closing price are equal.
The Hammer candlestick formation is viewed as a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that mainly occurs at the bottom of downtrends.
The word Marubozu means "bald head" or "shaved head" in Japanese, and this is reflected in the candlestick's lack of wicks. The single candle involved in the signal should have a long real body. There must not be an upper or a lower wick.
candlestick formation that results when a security's price, at some point during the day, advances well above the opening price but closes lower than the opening price.
A bullish engulfing candlestick formation represents that bulls are in full control of bears. As the pattern below shows, the white body (bulls) covers completely the red-bodied candle (bears).
The Harami (meaning "pregnant" in Japanese) Candlestick Pattern is considered a reversal pattern. The pattern consists of two Candlesticks.
A Dark Cloud Cover Pattern occurs when a bearish candle on Day 2 closes below the middle of Day 1's candle.
The first bar of the pattern is a long white (or green) candlestick within a defined uptrend.
A series of three consecutive descending small-bodied black (or red) candlesticks that trade above the low of the first candlestick.
A long white candlestick creates a new high, which suggests the bulls are back in control of the market's direction.
Three black crows is a bearish candlestick pattern that is used to predict the reversal of the current uptrend. This pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that have opened within the real body of the previous candle and closed lower than the previous candle.

2 Tackling the challenges of System level ESD: from efficient ICs ESD protection to system level predictive modeling Marise Bafleur 1,2, Fabrice Caignet 1,3, Nicolas Nolhier 1,3, David Trémouilles 1,2 1 CNRS, LAAS, 7 Avenue du Colonel Roche, Toulouse, France 2 Univ de Toulouse, LAAS, F Toulouse, France 3 Univ de Toulouse, UPS, LAAS, F Toulouse, France - Abstract This paper provides a review of the main tools that will allow developing a system efficient ESD design (SEED) approach. It starts with copying with the challenges of the narrowing of the ESD design window with temperature and high-voltage I/Os. We then present our behavioral modeling approach using VHDL-AMS and characterization tools such as TLP testing. Finally, the efficiency of the modeling methodology is illustrated with three case studies. Keywords system level ESD, Human Metal Model, behavioral modeling, VHDL-AMS, ESD protection. 1. INTRODUCTION Protection against ESD at system level is a main challenge for embedded electronic systems. It is particularly true in automotive applications where the electronic equipment in vehicles is continuously increasing over the years. More and more complex electronic modules have to work together without disturbing or being disturbed by electromagnetic interferences and fast transient events. To address these requirements, several electromagnetic standards such as IEC  or ISO10605  have been defined to assess the immunity of systems to both direct and indirect ESD stress during operation. The IEC standard is designed for completed systems. However original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are requesting integrated circuits manufacturers to also test individual components to this standard. The Human Metal Model (HMM) standard test method  is intended to define a test method for evaluating components using the IEC waveform . It has to be underlined that the ESD robustness at system level does not depend only on the ESD robustness of the standalone components but also on the complex interactions between the various elements (passive, active, PCB traces) implemented on the printed circuit board (PCB). In addition, automotive electronics is required to operate at higher temperatures than consumer products. This trend will be accelerated with the advent of electric vehicles and the introduction of wide band gap semiconductors such as GaN and SiC that require silicon drivers operating at high temperature (T 200 C). It has to be reminded that system level ESD standards require tests for both unpowered and powered systems. As a result, it is important to take into account the ambient temperature for the design of ESD protections. Given these various requirements and constraints, to perform System Efficient ESD Design (SEED) , it is essential to develop high-robustness ESD protections but also to be able to simulate/predict the real behavior of the system under such stress. The main challenge for OEMs to perform predictive modeling is the lack of information regarding the internal ESD strategy of the ICs. A very similar problem arose a few years ago for IC signal integrity issues and gave birth to the IBIS standard . In this paper, we review the main challenges that need to be tackled to answer requirements for system-level-esd robustness. In section 2, we first present ESD design protection approaches to cope with narrowed ESD design window in high voltage technologies as well as high temperature issues. In section 3, we present our behavioral ESD predictive modeling based on using ESD-upgraded IBIS models. In section 4, we will detail the characterization methodology we developed as an alternative to using an ESD gun. After presenting the SEED approach in section 5, we will describe in section 6 three case studies involving on the one hand two digital circuits and on the other an analog one. Finally we will give some perspectives of this work. Fig. 1 ESD design window showing the detrimental effect of temperature.
7 parasitics of the external capacitor. The simulations show that both physical and behavioral models of the protections give the same results. This is mainly due to the fact that the parasitic elements play a more determinant role than the protections that have a very low intrinsic resistance (lower than 1Ω). ESD immunity cartography as shown in Fig. 13. The susceptibility criterion in measurement consists in finding, for different ESD pulse shapes, the amplitude required to stop the program or activate the clock monitor failure. Two zones are more susceptible to ESD: RESET and PLL/oscillator. The susceptibility of the RESET block is related to the exceeding of the input threshold voltage. However, more investigation was needed to understand the behavior of the PLL/oscillator block that induces clock losses (Fig. 13). Fig. 11 Measurement vs simulation comparison of a TLP stress injection between IN and VSS of the inverter circuit with and without 6.8nF decoupling capacitor. Behavioral IBIS-based models are compared to semi-physical models. This behavior was also validated on the output pin of the system under study using an alternative near-field measurement technique. Fig. 12 presents different cartographies acquired at different times of the ESD stress. It clearly shows that current injection is first absorbed by the decoupling capacitor and later on split between the ESD protection scheme of the circuit and the capacitor. Fig. 12 Near-field measurement for a TLP stress injected between OUT and VSS of the inverter circuit showing (from left to right) how the current splits between the capacitor and the circuit bit microcontroller The near-field probe can also be used to inject the ESD stress by scanning it above the surface of the IC. It was successfully used to study the ESD sensitivity of a commercial 16-bit microcontroller in combination with a Very Fast TLP tester . In this experiment, we have flashed in the circuit a simple program to deliver a square signal period of 40 MHz, which is used as a reference to identify if the circuit runs correctly. This program uses the oscillator and PLL blocks to create the output signal. The near-field probe is moved above the chip to extract the Fig. 13 ESD pulse injection system with a near-field probe (left), ESD immunity cartography (right) and resulting clock losses (bottom). We performed simulations to validate that the microcontroller clock losses are actually induced by the ESD stress injection. For the simulation, only the following blocks are modeled: reduced model of the microcontroller including the oscillator block with its power supply, package model for the four involved pins, injection probe model and mutual coefficient coupling the loop probe with the package inductances of the pins. The simulation allowed reproducing the same faults with a good correlation with measurement. 6.3 Audio amplifier We present hereafter a case study illustrating a strong miscorrelation between the HBM robustness and the IEC one and analyze the reasons of this behavior . The circuit is an audio amplifier IC realized in a 0.25µm CMOS technology. The main blocks of the IC are represented in Fig. 14, together with the external devices (decoupling capacitor C DEC and charge pump capacitor C OUT ) required on the testing board. The audio amplifier is composed of two symmetrical amplifiers (AOP) that provide the right and left headset sound outputs (OUTR and OUTL). The power supply VBAT can vary from 2.7V to 5.2V and an internal charge pump generates a symmetrical negative power supply VBAT. The LDO regulators provide ±2.2V to the AOP.


The financial markets were rattled yesterday following a tweet by President Trump. In the tweet, the president focused his attention to Russia's Vladimir Putin and his response to the Syrian crisis. The tweet signaled that the escalation in Syria could lead to significant issues between the US, Russia, Iran, and Israel.
The problem started when a chemical attack happened in Syria. The Trump administration blamed Syrian president Bashir Al Assad for the attack that left many people dead. On the other hand, the Syrian regime and Russians blamed the rebels for the attack.
Common sense indicates that the issue could be more complicated. This is because last week, Trump asked his military officials to come up with a plan to get out of Syria. As such, a chemical attack by Assad would have been counterproductive because it would demand more US actions.
As a result of the statement, crude oil prices surged yesterday reaching a three year high. Brent reached a high of $73 a barrel while WTI touched a high of $68 a barrel.
As shown below, as the Brent crude oil surged, it completed the impulse Elliot Wave. As such, there is a likelihood that the price could retrace as it starts a corrective wave. As such, traders should watch out for the $71 level.

Stuart Broad – Flashback. Saturday Magazine, Daily Telegraph

Flashback with Stuart Broad – The Writer's Cut
Stuart Broad remembers hanging out at cricket grounds with his dad, England opening batsman Chris, in 1991
This was taken when I was about five at Trent Bridge – Nottinghamshire Cricket Club's home ground. Dad was playing for them at the time, two years after ending his England career in 1989. He had done really well with England and had been the Man of the Series when they retained The Ashes in the 1986-87 series in Australia after scoring centuries in three successive test matches.
My Mum and Dad split up when I was three, but they both lived in the Nottingham area and remained on good terms, so I spent most weekends staying with him. That's when I first became aware Dad was a cricketer – because he had to take me to work! Trent Bridge became like a home from home with the staff looking after me while Dad did his stuff. One of my earliest memories is following him onto the pitch as he went out to bat when I was four. I thought, well if Dad's playing, I'm going too, and I had to be grabbed by one of the members. Another time, I got way out onto the pitch in the middle of a match and had to be brought back by a fielder.
They were great times for me because I loved being around the cricketers. I went to grounds all over the country, so it was a real eye opener to the lifestyle and it was also inspirational to be in the dressing room. I got to hear all the match talk and the banter and I was allowed to mess around with the kit. I got to try on pads and gloves and play with grown-up bats. I got quite obsessed with cricket and from a young age I insisted on wearing white clothes, even when I was out playing with my mates. It was a nightmare for my Mum when it came to the washing! In this picture I am wearing a proper Nottinghamshire match jumper, which belonged to a batsman called Paul Johnson. His wife had shrunk it in the wash and because he was only 5ft 4in it nearly fitted me, so he gave it to me. That was my first bit of professional kit, so I absolutely loved that jumper!
Generally on match days, I only watched Dad bat for a bit, then I'd go off playing sport with other kids whose dads were in the teams. I remember us often using a large rubbish bin that was taller than me as stumps. And when I was seven I was playing rugby during a match at Bristol – when Dad was playing for Gloucestershire – and I broke my collarbone in a tackle. He was fielding at the time, so someone had to dash out to tell him that I was being rushed to hospital. He came off later to find me with my arm in a sling.
I was very proud of Dad when I was growing up. I used to walk about a yard behind him because it is hard to keep up with an adult's stride when you're a kid, so I'd see people do a double-take and say, "Hey, that was Chris Broad!" It was weird hearing people whisper about my Dad, but that's when I knew he was sort of famous and had been successful. He was always encouraging about me following in his footsteps, but neither him, nor Mum were at all pushy. The key for them was that I had fun with sport and, even to this day, I still treat cricket as my hobby, not as a job. It's the only way if you want to keep loving the game.
Dad and I are still really close and we live near each other in Nottingham. We enjoy sharing good dinners and nice wine, but we are really competitive, especially at golf. He is now an ICC (International Cricket Council) referee and is really proud of what I am achieving in cricket. All my life I have been called Chris Broad, but it has never bothered me. When I was starting out, kids would come up and ask, "Can I have your autograph, Chris?" and I'd say, "Of course. Do you want me to sign it Chris – or Stuart?!"
The name confusion has been a running joke between me and Dad. He used to tease me by saying, "I will only know that you have made it when I am called Stuart Broad's dad!" Then, about 18 months ago, he was at a dinner event and he was introduced as "Stuart Broad's dad". It gave him a real buzz and he phoned to tell me what had happened. He said, "Well, son, it looks like you have officially made it!"

The coaches within TheONE tell on their profile what they specialize in. Simply search for the right coach and start your first session right away.
What does Life Coaching help for?
Everyone has their own reason for taking with a life coach. No coach will be surprised if you bring up the topic that you want to talk about.
Life Coaching starts with confidence and respect. You will have to trust the life coach and what you share in information will be treated with full respect. Each Life Coach has its own approach, but most coaches will first try to investigate the problem. What is bothering you and what may be the underlying reason. Sometimes that is simple when it comes to trauma such as the loss of someone or domestic violence. It often happens that you have come to believe something somewhere that makes you feel stuck.
You can see Life Coaching as talking to someone who can listen well and who understands how the human mind works. This makes life Coaching more effective than just talking to someone. Talking to just someone can be relieving, but often does not resolve the underlying cause. Life Coaches are professionals who work purposefully. Depending on the severity of the cause, no more than 4 to 6 sessions are usually needed to make you feel different.
We also have TheONE expert app. If you download this app, you can always and everywhere contact your personal Life Coach.

Q: How to print particular JSON value in Python? So I have a Python code which returns a JSON string like this one:
'{"X": "value1", "Y": "value2", "Z": [{"A": "value3", "B": "value4"}]}'

What I want to do is to print and/or return (in Python) "value 3" in order to use it. Also assign it to a variable so I can work with it later on.
How can I do this?

A: OK, I assume your JSON looks like this (note the " around each value):
{"X":"value1", "Y":"value2", "Z":[{"A":"value3", "B":"value4"}]}

Then you can do this:
import json
j = '{"X":"value1", "Y":"value2", "Z":[{"A":"value3", "B":"value4"}]}'
k = json.loads(j)
assert k["Z"][0]["A"] == "value3"

Edit: Even simplejsoncan't decode your original input.
>>> import simplejson
>>> s1 = '{"X":value1,"Y":"value2","Z":[{"A":"value3","B":value4}]}'
>>> simplejson.loads(s1)
simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError: No JSON object could be decoded: line 1 column 0 (char 0)
>>> s2 = '{"X":"value1", "Y":"value2", "Z":[{"A":"value3", "B":"value4"}]}'
>>> print simplejson.loads(s2)["Z"][0]["A"]
value3

A: >>> import json
>>> a = json.loads('{"X":"value1","Y":"value2","Z":[{"A":"value3","B":"value4"}]}')
>>> a
{'Y': 'value2', 'X': 'value1', 'Z': [{'A': 'value3', 'B': 'value4'}]}
>>> a["Z"][0]["A"]
'value3'

Someone gave this album as 75%. Even if you were ignoring it's origins (which you shouldn't, this not a case of separating art from the artist, it's straight up theft), how could you possibly listen to this monstrosity and think' "Hey, this a really solid release that add a bunch of elements that I purely imagined! 7.5/10 go buy it!"

It's baffling how often abusive men manage to be in relationships while true gentlemen often remain single for prolonged periods of time.
I don't care if somebody likes the album, not everybody can have good taste, but it's these lines that bother me:
But are they fake? Well, legally speaking, this is the real deal. [...] Some even claim he should change the band's name, but in the end, he holds the rights to the project's name.
It blows me away that some people really seem to struggle with separating legality with morality. Yeah, legally Bart has the name, but anybody with a moral compass at all can tell that he wasn't the guy who actually started the band and he attained the rights to the name via incredibly underhanded means. It was theft, straight up, but it was theft that he was able to achieve via legal means. By no means does that make it less of an obvious theft.

So, someone on a Facebook group was asking about this so I put the following:
"Like what you like. Plenty don't like any of it. Панихида, for me, follows Litourgiya (or however it's spelt) and I like both. I haven't listened to Hospodi in full, nor do I intend to, what I heard didn't appeal and I read too much into the context of it to give it a fair chance".
I think the morality of it all seems well publicised, well-shared and well-discussed. Aside from BangerTV's review Sarah did of them, the reviews I've seen seem to fit with common opinion here and my own thoughts on the music itself.
I feel like there's not much more to say unless something happens, e.g. one band ends, name changes, reunion etc.
I dunno, I think it's pretty hard to give something a fair chance under these circumstances, and I don't really think it deserves it. Music aside, which is bland, unoriginal, and quite frankly not the least bit interesting, the dude is cashing in on someone else's vision, however poorly the execution of said vision was employed. I mean, legally speaking, they BOTH hold the rights to the band name until a court decision has been finalised, but when it really comes down to it, it was artistic theft committed via the legal system. How the fuck someone can just register anything as a trademark without concrete proof of ownership is just fucking mind-boggling.
Yeah I'll be real, separating this from judging Hospodi is not the way to go about it. The album literally would not exist without this situation arising, and its mere existence represents an ugly sentiment. Making the two even more inseparable is that like any album, the situation it was created in is reflected in its musical contents.
But... but... but... it's EVIL! Extreme music for and by extreme people! And thieving is a sin so it's just an embodiment of the sin of Satan and evil evilness!
Kidding and sillyness aside, I can't see a scenario where this version of the band is active with a record deal in 2 years.
If the album tanks badly enough Metal Blade will never want to touch anything Bart gets his filthy hands on anymore, and that will be the moment Bartushka gets swept under the rug and Bart moves on to some other ploy to rake some cash from whomever might still be clueless enough to give him any credit.
This "band" has literally no purpose of existence outside of cashing in on the momentum built on the first record. There's no vision, no inspiration, no motivation beyond this.
I can't help finding this appalling.

Everyone should just spam those Fb-eventpages, call for a boycot, tell the truth about this little ripoff Fartushka and share it everywhere. It happens all the time that entire tours get cancelled due to lack of pre-sales of tickets. If everyone knows the facts behind this and call for a boycot they won't sell any tickets and it will be cancelled in no time. DO IT!
I read a statement that Bartushka's album is sold out. They don't seem to be doing bad concert-wise either. Is Bart winning?
Hah, I posted on the tour announcement page that this is the shit version that no one likes and to support Krzystof instead, and the deleted my post and blocked me.
Metalblade are really going all in on this album, I'm seeing it and the tour being pushed everywhere. I would have thought it was probably better just to bury it, but it will be interesting to see just what they can make of it.
Its weird. being that this is essentially underground music we are talking about, I thought to be aware of a band like this you would it would be inevitable that you would also know about the controversy surrounding it, but it seems Metalblade are actually just counting on b(r)and name alone.

Well, Batushka ( Bartushka ) sucks. Hospodi is a mediocre, typical product.
Ace_Rimmer
I'm stunned this is playing Delmar Hall. That is where bands like Overkill, Cannibal Corpse, and bands of that size play.
And 65% for SiT is being generous. Worst album of the classic Maiden run, more like a 50% since its mediocre.

Buying tickets to heckle someone seems like getting tickets to a movie you'll hate watch, he's still getting money, though I guess with tickets the venue and others get a cut so it's not all going to his band.
Still this seems like it could bite metal blade in the ass to some degree given the (rightful) vitriol towards this band.

Haha, yeah. I feel like those are different situations than this though and I didn't actually mention getting the shows shut down. I honestly wouldn't mind it myself but really I'd just like 1) the venues to be informed of the situation and know a large segment of fans are unhappy with the band they booked (they have a right to know) and 2) the venue's to let fans know about the controversy before purchasing a ticket (like mentioning it in their promo material). And as a bonus it would be great if the venues contacted Metal Blade to ask questions.
This is just a way for the heat to filter up to Metal Blade and Bart.

That venue was informed (and no threat of violence was made) and the venue said they hadn't known and cancelled the gig.
And I need to stress this: I'm not saying I support what Bart did. I think his album is a bland mediocre mess. But there are people out there that probably think otherwise and don't care about the background of the band-theft; and if people get all antsy about antifascists informing the venue and not this? Well that says a lot I think.
While writing this response I realized I don't actually know what point you were trying to get across when you said "And black metal fans get their panties in a twist when the AntiFa tries to shut gigs down" other than there's some comparison to be made. It kind of follows the "and they thought *this* was bad" with eye-rolling type of sentiment. The *this* being antifa's actions in the metal community. Are you trying to criticize the reaction to the Batushka situation by comparing it to the reactions to antifa actions in the metal scene? If so, it would follow that you have some criticism regarding people that complain about antifa.
It's a little confusing because in your next reply you reference the Mgła incident and it seems like you take a stance that antifa does things that you don't approve of (canceling the show). I'm not trying to figure out your stance on antifa (so feel free to not comment on that) but just highlighting that you drew comparisons between the topics but also made remarks that are seemingly a little contradictory so it's hard to understand the point you're making and so it's also hard to respond to it.
That said, I don't think comparing antifa's political agenda with the Batushka controversy is a helpful way to look at the "contacting venues" call-to-action. If you remove the reasons of each group from the comparisons: antifa's politics and the moral objections surrounding the Batushka case (which I think you should because they are completely different) all you have left is "people informing venues about some perceived negative thing regarding a band they booked" which is pretty vague and doesn't warrant anything except shallow comparison. If that shallow comparison is all you were after then, yeah, I see it. But I don't see how that should affect how people perceive and respond to the Batushka situation.
I understand there are people who, for whatever reason (ignorance, apathy, "it's the music I care about", etc.), will go to the show and enjoy themselves. That's fine. I would just like them to know beforehand what the deal is so they can consider if they even care or not. Again, I'd like to point out that in my original post, I didn't call for the venues to cancel the shows. In my emails to the venues, I specifically state that I am only informing and that they should just do whatever they think is appropriate. I believe that they, as a business, have the right to be informed about who they're doing business with so long as the information given is accurate and is related to that business. I think that fans being upset is likely to affect ticket sales and the type of crowd (I.e. "rowdy") at the show so I believe this information is relevant to the businesses.
I generally don't advertise my own writing all that much, but I think my take on the situation is very relevant to the current discussion. Link in the sig.
tl;dr - Obviously Bart is 10000% in the wrong and on a moral level I hope he fails miserably, but active campaigns to get gigs shut down/the tour canceled are fucking hilariously over the top and you nerds really need to reassess your priorities. Direct action is good, but it'd be nice if y'all picked a cause that wasn't so stupid.
Gravetemplar
How is this in any way similar to a show being cancelled because there were nazis in the band?
Stating that informing venues about the job they're doing is some kind on necessary positive action is... well, I don't know what it is to be honest. If I'm a promoter doing my job I NEED to know what I'm talking about. If I'm a venue owner doing my job I NEED to know whoever I'm booking. If I'm a label owner I NEED to know whoever I'm signing. That's how things SHOULD actually be. Now if people who were supposed to do their jobs properly prefer to do it without the necessary care, and just look at money making prospects, then who the fuck are we to tell them otherwise??? If I, or we, are in the know about the promoter/venue owner/label owner bad business practices the best course of action is to not support them. The same is valid for those who are attending shows. If I'd get an Antifa guy screaming at me that I shouldn't attend a gig I had already paid for I'd give him the middle finger, and if I had some simple dude telling me the same but with better terms I'd have the same reaction. Why? Because no one forced me to pay for that gig, plain and simple.
If people don't care enough about who is in the band or what's happening in legal terms then why should they be impeded of participating in a band's show, no matter the wrongdoings of said "band"? If they care bout it enough they just won't go. Period. People should lay off the social crusade antics and just act as fucking thinking individuals. Fucking hive mentality of "if it's wrong for me then it has got to be wrong for everybody"... Bah!
Spam me with dating sites. Or, even better, let my antispam do the dirty work, ask me for a date and kiss me, fool. Yeah, kiss my shiny metal ass, pathetic clown.
Yeah yeah, I should've taken the blue pill.
This reply is assuming that all of this post is directed at me. I understand that maybe none of it is, or only part of it is, but I'll respond assuming that all of it is. I understand that some of it might just be venting/your thoughts on various parts of the topic. Also, my reply is worded bluntly but please don't take it as an attack, I respect your thoughts on the issue. It's just clearer and quicker to leave the sugar coating out of it, lol.
"Stating that informing venues about the job they're doing is some kind on necessary positive action is... well, I don't know what it is to be honest"
I never stated that informing venues about the Batushka situation was "necessary". None of my posts said or implied it. I can understand how it would be easy to assume that was my stance but that assumption is incorrect.
"Now if people who were supposed to do their jobs properly prefer to do it without the necessary care, and just look at money making prospects, then who the fuck are we to tell them otherwise?"
I did not and am not advocating we "tell them" what to do. "Informing" isn't "telling". I specifically wrote in that lengthy post above "In my emails to the venues, I specifically state that I am only informing and that they should just do whatever they think is appropriate".
"If people don't care enough about who is in the band or what's happening in legal terms then why should they be impeded of participating in a band's show, no matter the wrongdoings of said "band"?"
I don't believe I or anyone else said anything about keeping people out of the show if they don't care about what's going on with Batushka. I stated above that "I understand there are people who, for whatever reason (ignorance, apathy, 'it's the music I care about', etc.), will go to the show and enjoy themselves. That's fine"
"If they care bout it enough they just won't go. Period. People should lay off the social crusade antics and just act as fucking thinking individuals. Fucking hive mentality of "if it's wrong for me then it has got to be wrong for everybody"... Bah!"
I'm just advocating to inform fans so that they have the information to make an educated choice on whether they want to attend and therefor have the opportunity to "just act as fucking thinking individuals". Continuing with The Matrix theme, it is similar to the red and blue pill scene you referenced above (although not nearly as important of a choice as in The Matrix, lol). And hive mentality would be more like "If it's wrong for everybody else, then it's wrong for me". The "hive" is in control, not the individual.

I think it was just me venting out, probably the red wine had something to do with it (damned bottle was empty by the end of dinner).
I appreciate that you took the time to reply, and I don't think you were in any way blunt, so cheers for that. And I can understand that you actually believe that your action is positive, but what I meant before was that when people care enough about something (their jobs, their art) they'll try to do the "right" thing about it. Or just choose money/instant gratification. Ironically there's actually no wrong choice there, no blue vs red pill, since the moral in question is that of the individual. What that means in simple terms is that each and everyone will do as they want and not care about others. Why waste your time trying to change their minds when it's their decision to do or not to do?! Because it actually comes out like you're trying to define what's wrong on others according to your law. I know it's not your intention, but at the end of the day...
Antifa dude being unfriendly vs regular dude "making the right thing" still warrants a "go away" in my book. It's my choice to support them or not, and no one has anything to do with my decision.
Being a thinking individual means that you need to actively think for yourself, even if your thoughts are "wrong".
PS: If this doesn't make sense at all then I'm really blaming the wine!
Like androdion wrote I don't think there's a "wrong choice" here. Either just let people "enjoy" the terrible spectacle and hopefully let Bartushka fail on their own merits, or inform the venues.
As for my comparison with the Mgla cancellation. Shallow or not, my point was that the general concensus at the time seemed to be (if you ignored all the "xtr3m3 music f0r xtr3m3 people" and "white power advocates are not as bad as antifa" crowd in the scene) that you should let people decide for themselves. And that should swing both ways regardless if you think a band sucks or not.
Another thing that needs to be stressed is also the reason why I chose the Mgla incident as an example. In that case there was no black clad cadre of antifascists outside the venue confronting the crowd; just a letter signed by a student union (among others) sent to the venue beforehand. So I don't think the comparison is that far fetched. Do you?
As for my own view on the antifa shutting down gigs; that is not relevant to this thread (the word "antifa" tends to derail threads around here in a way the words "thieves of artistic property" never could) but I'm happy to discuss it in another context.

That's better.
In case I would give a shit, I would just give him bad press and make a protest in front of my near venues.
Fucking hell! They're playing Bloodstock now, third from the top on the main stage on Sunday night. Dimmu Borgir pulled out yesterday and they were special guests to the Scorpions. So they've pushed Queensryche up to special guests and shoved Batushka in between the 'ryche and Dee Snider. That's FAR TOO high on the bill for them. Are they really that popular? Right now I'm thinking NO!

Q: Unable to convert varchar to int in sql I am trying to perform a query where I can convert a varchar to INT column in order to perform a calculation, however, I consistently get this error

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '83640.00' to data type int

When I exclude this value from the query, then it simply shows the same error message with the next value in the table

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '57800.00' to data type int

The calculation I am trying to perform is simply the column * 100 (Net_Value_NETWR * 100). Net_Value_NETWR is currently defined as varchar datatype.

A: Do not store numbers in a string!  The canonical solution would be to use try_convert().  But you actually want the value.  So, convert to a decimal, say:
select convert(decimal(10), Net_Value_NETWR)

or whatever column is mistakenly storing numbers in strings.
The conversion to decimal sidesteps the problem.  decimal(10) is big enough to store an integer, but it also allows decimal places.

A: '57800.00' is a varchar that represents a decimal, not an int. You cannot convert a varchar that represent a decimal directly to an int, you would have to convert it twice:
SELECT CONVERT(int,CONVERT(decimal(7,2),'57800.00'));

A: Listen
Here value is decimal, if you will convert the decimal value into integer then your will be change either you have to leave value after decimal or round of value.
Once you will convert '1234' string to integer then it will work fine.
Now its upto you what function you will use FLOOR(), or  CEILING()
CAST(FLOOR(yourField) as int), CAST(CEILING(yourField) as int)

CEILING will increase the value before deciaml by one and floor will return the exact value before decimal, and in both cases after decimal value will be remove.
Now you have only integer value then you can convert to integer without any error.

Bills elevate Cole Beasley, Alec Anderson for Monday night
Josh Alper
Wide receiver Cole Beasley has been elevated from the Bills practice squad for the third straight week.
The team made the announcement on Monday afternoon. They also called offensive lineman Alec Anderson up for the game.
Both players will revert to the practice squad after the game, but the Bills will have to release Beasley if they elevate him on a temporary basis for another game. They could avoid that by signing him to the 53-man roster.
Beasley had two catches for 18 yards while playing 17 snaps over the last two weeks. He also had four catches in two games with the Buccaneers earlier this season.

Viva la brunch! Weekend brunch is our favorite meal anytime of year — especially during the summer. Produce is at its peak, the sun is shining, and bubbly cocktails feel at home on any menu. Plus, it's the perfect entertaining opportunity — with a little overnight prep, you can whip together a casual brunch in no time.
We're kind of obsessed with how the talented team of Lonny Magazine put together this fresh take on a summer brunch with our new Mediterranean-style outdoor product. Lonny editor Kaylei McGaw hosted this shindig at a Brooklyn loft, using our colorful dishes and table linens as a base for a playful, lively and delicious group brunch.
Read on to get Kaylei and the Lonny team's decorating ideas & entertaining tips so you can host your own festive summer brunch! Stay tuned for recipes & more later this week.
To set the mood for this casual Sunday brunch, McGaw arranged cushion seats on the floor for her guests and served the meal on a low coffee table. Our rainbow-stripe tablecloth created a graphic backdrop to the saturated mix of ceramic serving platters, glass stemware, and patterned melamine.
Blue-and-white dice, a nod to the party's retro inspiration and a perfect match to the Ocean Blue margarita glasses, were repurposed to create cheeky coasters for the midcentury bar.
• Dress up store-bought fruit salad with a drizzle of fresh honey and chopped basil.
• Amp up a basic bagel and cream cheese bar with fresh lox, herbs and chopped veggies from your local store.
• Order any pastries, breads or muffins beforehand to save yourself time and stress.
Consider your menu while choosing your dishes. A cleverly edited amount of bold color around the table — be it bright yellow dishes, a striped table runner, or red ceramic appetizer plates — will bring out the meal's aesthetic appeal.
Play with varying heights. Add interest to your buffet table or sideboard by using tiered trays and footed bowls. If you don't have any taller platters, stack a few books on your tabletop and cover everything with a tablecloth.
Set everything out in advance the night before. Set the table, put out dishes and stock your bar and buffet the evening before your big brunch to cut down on morning chaos right before the guests arrive.
