Professor Schwab: In your speech, you talked about the dynamic development of the Chinese economy as well as relevant policies. I'm sure these policies can help sustain such dynamism. It is a remarkable achievement for China Ignazio Abate Jersey , the second biggest economy in the world, to grow at nearly 7%. Could you please share with us in greater detail what measures the government will take to keep such positive momentum going in the future?
Premier Li: China used to grow at double-digit rates, but now the growth has moderated to a medium-high level of 6.9% in the first quarter of this year. Some characterize this trend as a slowdown, but that wouldn't be very accurate, as the Chinese economy has become much bigger than before. Every one percentage point of growth inGDPnow would generate the same amount of additional output as 1.5 percentage point growth five years ago or 2 percent growth ten years ago. I often use the analogy of somersaults to describe such a situation: It is much easier for a child to do a dozen somersaults at one go than for an adult, for whom just three or four would be quite an accomplishment. For major economies with GDPs of two trillion US dollars or above Hakan Calhanoglu Jersey , a 3% growth would be no mean feat. I hope you can view the Chinese economy in an objective way. It will keep growing at medium-high speed, as we have 1.3 billion people, huge market potential and social creativity.
Second Gustavo Gomez Jersey , we will advance reform and opening-up. In undertaking supply-side structural reforms, the government will continue to streamline administration, delegate its power, widen market access and enhance compliance oversight to create a level playing field. We will ease corporate burdens by reducing taxes and administrative fees to unleash the vitality of the market.
Third, we will accelerate efforts to replace traditional drivers of growth with new ones. We will adopt market- and rules-based approach to tackle and phase out excess and backward capacity in steel, coal and other sectors. Meanwhile Gianluigi Donnarumma Jersey , we will work hard to grow new drivers and encourage the development of new technologies, new business forms and models. In this process, the government will exercise accommodating and prudent supervision to provide an enabling environment for the healthy growth of the new economy. Furthermore, Chinese and foreign-invested companies will be treated as equals.
Professor Schwab: Looking around the world, the Chinese government has been most effective in embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I want to congratulate you and the Chinese government on that. That said, the Fourth Industrial Revolution also has its disruptive effect Giacomo Bonaventura Jersey , including on employment and income distribution. You did talk about this in your opening speech. What steps is the Chinese government taking to reduce such adverse impact?
Premier Li: Thank you, Professor Schwab, for your positive comments on the steps taken by the Chinese government in the Fourth Industrial Revolution or the new industrial revolution, but I would hesitate to say that we are most effective in this aspect. As a Chinese proverb goes, "when the moon reaches its fullest, it begins to wane". We are in constant pursuit of perfection out of a recognition of our own imperfections. I believe the new round of industrial revolution brings more opportunities than challenges Gabriel Paletta Jersey , but it is not always the case in all fields and sectors. After all, everything has its pros and cons.
Take employment for example, will the extensive application of artificial intelligence and robots deprive people of their jobs? This is indeed a question, and it is already happening in some industries and sectors. Yet, through the Internet Plus initiative and mass entrepreneurship and innovation, new technologies and new business forms empowered by the new round of industrial revolution Gabriel Jersey , such as online shopping, express delivery and bike-sharing, have generated far more jobs than those taken by robots. In this sense, what we are experiencing is only a structural shift, which calls for adjusting the training in labor skills. We will meet such challenge head on, because it is simply inescapable. More importantly Franck Kessie Jersey , the development of new technologies, business forms and models makes it possible to accommodate and harness people's individual choices to generate greater market potential and put everyone's talent to best use. By pooling the wisdom of all people, we will be able to create far more wealth and jobs than what have been lost.
This is a race against time. Professor Schwab just said that in the future, it's not going to be the big fish eating the small fish, but the fast fish eating the slow fish. I want to add to that metaphor. The fast fish will certainly do better than the slow fish, but I do hope that the slow fish will move faster and catch up with the fast fish Fabio Borini Jersey , and the fast fish will also turn around to help the slow fish.

Q: Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3.dll': The specified module could not be found in UWP Xamarin.Forms I am trying to write app for UWP Xamarin.Forms with use of Azure Mobile SQLiteStore package.
I struggle with SQLitePCL package which is dependency of that mentioned above package.
In my UWP project I referenced extension SQLite for Universal Windows Platform also it's dependency Microsoft.VCLibs
Error is : Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Android app works fine, only UWP has this problem crashing app as soon as it start to call SQLite.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
Update:
I have also double checked processor architecture and for emulator it is set to x86, and for real Win10 Mobile device it is set to ARM.
On both getting exactly the same issue. However when I run my app on local machine (my Windows 10 OS I develop on) everything works fine.
Thanks in advance.

A: You need to add a reference to SQLite for windows platforms.
On your UWP project go to Add References.
Go to Universal Windows > Extensions
Then make sure you tick SQLite for Universal App Platform

A: I have struggled for hours with what could be the same problem.
I upgraded the SQLite to the latest version and I think this is where the problem began.
I downloaded Visual Studio 2015 Update 2, ran and selected modify. Then ensured all the highlighted updates were ticked and the deprecated items are un-ticked. (Update 2 is included in the latest community download)
I hope this works for you.

Military volunteer
Find sources: "Military volunteer" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (December 2006) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A military volunteer is a person who enlists in military service by free will, and is not a conscript, mercenary, or a foreign legionnaire. Volunteers sometimes enlist to fight in the armed forces of a foreign country, for example during the Spanish Civil War. Military volunteers are essential for the operation of volunteer militaries. Many armies, including the U.S. Army, formerly distinguished between "Important Volunteers" enlisted during a war, and "regulars" who served on long-term basis.
United StatesEdit
In the United States troops raised as state militia were always described as "volunteers", even when recruited by conscription. Both US volunteers and regulars were referred to as "U.S." troops. The rank of an officer in a volunteer unit was separate from his rank (if any) as a regular, and usually higher. When the volunteer forces were disbanded at the end of the war, officers with both kinds of commission reverted to their "regular" rank. For instance, George Armstrong Custer became a brigadier general of volunteers during the American Civil War, but when the war ended, he reverted to captain. (He was later promoted to lieutenant colonel.) Volunteer rank is not the same as brevet rank.

Office Hours: MW 1:00-2:20pm; Fridays 11:00am-noon; and by appointment. I am not on campus Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Website: www.profgaryjason.com This site has your grades, my policy on cheating, all class handouts, bulletins, class code of conduct, text errata, and links to other sites of use. Log on ASAP to familiarize yourself with it. Note: I do NOT use Blackboard!
**The Desjardins text is available at The Little Professor bookstore, 725 North Placentia Ave, Fullerton 714-996-3133; the Jason anthology is only available at Copyco, which is in the strip mall at the corner of Chapman and State College 714-680-9800.
Course Description: The aim of this course is to survey the growing field of business ethics. Specifically, we will first become familiar with the major ethical theories, and see how they can be used as tools to understand the moral issues in business. While doing this we will also become familiar with some relevant concepts from economics and finance science (including moral hazard, the risk/reward linkage, cost/benefit analysis, the opacity of costs and benefits, public choice theory, rent-seeking, creative destruction, and the law of unintended consequences), and see how they also shed light on moral issues in business.
Then we will survey the major issues in the field. We will evaluate the major stances concerning general corporate social responsibility. We will examine views concerning the meaning and value of work, employee rights, and employee responsibilities. We will then look at product safety and pricing issues, ethics in advertising, and issues surrounding international business and globalization.
Assessment Procedures: The student is expected to attend regularly and keep up with the reading. There will be two midterms and a final exam, consisting of short response questions based upon material discussed in class. There will be three short (1/2 page) papers, and a term paper (5 pages). All papers must be typed or word processed, and double spaced. The term paper must be turned in at least one month before the end of the semester. The term paper can be on any topic related to business ethics, either one discussed in this course or one that the student finds in any texts or other sources. The general rubric is that about 1/3 of the grade will be based on style (sentence and paragraph structure, spelling and word use, coherence of presentation, and so on), and 2/3 on content (the facts and arguments you present, the even-handedness of presentation, and so on).
àYou will be given points for asking questions or making comments during class discussions.
**once you hit 100%, you are still quite welcome to participate, but preference will be given to those not yet at A+ level.
**There are no "extra credit" assignments.
** I give make-up exams (which are graded to higher standards) only when there is a signed doctor's note or other proof of illness or other emergency.
Policy on Cheating: Any student who cheats at any time in my class will be given an "F" for the entire course, and I will turn the incident over to the Chairperson of the Department for whatever further action is required by the University. For further explanation, see below, then visit my website.
Turn off all pagers, beepers, and cell phones before class. No iPods or laptops.
Spare the student his/her political views or details of personal life.
Note: It may happen that I have an opinion on an issue of contention in this subject (such as, say, free trade). If I do discuss that in class, discussing my opinion will NOT be part of any exam or other assignment that affects your grade.
GE Writing Requirement: CSUF requires all GE courses to have a writing component. In this class, we satisfy that requirement with the three assigned papers and the term paper.
Lecture Schedule–ONLY Approximate, because this is a discussion driven class, and if the class finds a topic especially interesting, we will spend more time on it.
Monday, Feb 28 MIDTERM #1—when and only when we finish Chap 2 DesJ, may not be this exact day.
Wednesday, April 6 MIDTERM #2—when and only when we finish Chapter 6 DesJ. May not be on this exact day.
Some amplifying remarks are in order. By "cheating" I mean copying work from other students, either homework or exams, or allowing other students to copy from your homework or tests. This of course applies to the work of my past students. If you want to do homework together in study groups, let me know ahead of time, and each member should turn in the assignment separately, but note the group affiliation.
By "cheating" I also mean plagiarizing, that is, copying work from articles, essays or books you are consulting for a class essay without attributing in a footnote the source. Your footnotes should include the name of the author whose work you are quoting, the title of the work, the pages being quoted, and where it was published (journals: journal name, date, number, volume, and page numbers; books: date, publishing company and city). THIS APPLIES EQUALLY WELL TO ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET OR COMPUTER ENCYCLOPEDIAS.
By "cheating" I further include "farming out," that is, paying someone or some service to write your essays or other work for you, or to do your research for you, either someone you directly hire, or so-called "research sites" on the internet such as Gradesaver or The Evil House of Cheat.
C.3.b Explorations in the Humanities Courses in this subarea shall draw upon, integrate, apply, and extend knowledge and skills previously acquired in subareas C.1 and C.2. Completion of subarea C.2 shall be required as a prerequisite for all courses in C.3.b. The learning goals for subarea C.3.b include the learning goals for area C.2. In addition, students taking courses in subarea C.3.b shall i. Understand broad, unifying themes from cross-disciplinary perspectives in the humanities. ii. Understand the relevance of the humanities for the thoughtful consideration of complex contemporary problems. iii. Appreciate the complex relationship and interaction between the humanities and other fields of learning, including the natural sciences, social sciences, and arts. Classes may be conducted in languages other than English if they meet the above goals. Such courses must contain a substantial cultural component (e.g., literature, among other content) and shall not focus solely on the acquisition of language skills.
1. Further their own critical self-understanding and acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage and reflect in learning and self-development practices.
2. Develop strategies to be integrated physiological, socio-cultural, and psychological beings to promote a holistic awareness of lifelong learning throughout their lives.
3. Actively apply and participate in developing a lifelong commitment to health for both personal well being (such as physical, financial, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social/interpersonal, and/or environmental aspects) and societal responsibility.
This course is designed to meet both the C.3.b and E goals. Specifically, regarding the C.3.b goals, by bringing in readings from classical ethical theory, economics and finance theory, we will understand more clearly issues in corporate governance. Additionally, we will use the readings and discussions to understand issues in the rights and responsibilities of employees, as well as the pricing, production and marketing of products, and the responsibilities of businesses to maintain the environment. We also will use this cross-disciplinary perspective to understand the accelerating globalization of the economy and the ethical issues it raises.
This course is also intended to satisfy the Lifelong Learning goals. Most students will likely work for private industry during their working lives. By developing a broad based cross-disciplinary understanding of business, the student is in a position to better grow during the course of his/her career. Also, given the centrality of business in our political and economic environment, this multi-disciplinary awareness will enable the student to have an increased basis for civic responsibility.

Hello Kitty (Japanese: ハロー・キティ, Hepburn: Harō Kiti), also known by her full name Kitty White (キティ・ホワイト, Kiti Howaito), is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, created by Yuko Shimizu and currently designed by Yuko Yamaguchi. Sanrio depicts Hello Kitty as a female gijinka (anthropomorphization) of Japanese Bobtail with a red bow and, notably, no mouth. According to her backstory, she is a perpetual 3rd-grade student who lives outside of London. Kitty and her twin sister, Mimmy, have their birthday on November 1. Since the cartoon character's creation, Hello Kitty has become a media franchise including a product line, clothing apparel, toy-line, manga comics, anime series, popular music, and other media.
Shortly after her creation in 1974, the Hello Kitty vinyl coin purse was introduced by Sanrio on March 5, 1975. Sanrio brought the character to the United States in 1976. Hello Kitty is a staple of the kawaii segment of Japanese popular culture. By 2010, Sanrio had groomed Hello Kitty into a global marketing phenomenon, worth US$6 billion a year. By 2014, when Hello Kitty was 40 years old, she was worth about $8 billion a year. As of 2019, Hello Kitty is the second highest-grossing media franchise of all time (behind Pokémon), having generated $80 billion in lifetime retail sales.First aimed at pre-teenage girls, Hello Kitty's market included adolescent and adult consumers. A variety of products ranging from school supplies to fashion accessories feature this character. Several Hello Kitty TV series, targeted towards children, have been produced, as well as several manga comics and anime films. There are Sanrio theme parks based on Hello Kitty: Harmonyland in Hiji, Ōita, Japan, Sanrio Puroland in Tama New Town, Tokyo, Japan, and a former one, Sanrio Hello Kitty Town in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia,In 2020, an 11-year-old girl was called "wo bebebe", "wo" is hello kitty, "bebebe" is her teddy bear: tiny chum.

And just like that, Father's Day is right around the corner. Personally, my dad is the most difficult family member to shop for. I swear "I don't want a gift, I just want your love" is his favorite line this time of year. But this year, I think I have a few ideas that will change his mind. Knowing his love of the outdoors, grilling, golf and reading, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
What are you getting your dad for Father's Day? Here are some of my ideas!


Employers in the United States provide their employees with a base pay, but many employers also provide their employees with additional benefits. These benefits often include things such as insurance (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, etc.), retirement benefits (401K, pension plans, money management, etc.) and flexible time off (vacation days, sick days, personal days, etc.). These benefits are very important to employees as it is critical to their overall job satisfaction. In order to make employee benefits easily accessible, companies often set up a source where employees can log in to view their entire benefits profile. General Dynamics has set up their website to allow their employees to do just that – have their benefits information at the tips of their fingers anytime they require.

Tonight's Movie: Macao (1952)
This seems to be the week for watching lighthearted Robert Mitchum action movies. Earlier this week it was THE BIG STEAL (1949), and the latest title seen is MACAO, costarring Jane Russell. Russell and Mitchum also appeared together in 1951's memorable HIS KIND OF WOMAN, and they make an equally good team in MACAO.
The plot concerns an undercover policeman (who may or may not be Mitchum's character), stolen jewels, and a singer (Russell). Gloria Grahame also appears, as the girlfriend of a casino owner (Brad Dexter). The story's not really all that important -- the script had as many as seven writers, not all of them credited, and Mitchum may have done some rewriting too -- it's really more about the fun the viewer has while along for the ride. There's some sharp dialogue, the ladies look lovely, Mitchum's his usual laconic self, and Jane sings "One For My Baby." The movie's in beautiful black and white, with some good atmosphere despite the cast not leaving the back lot. If you're looking for a fun diversion, the film doesn't disappoint.
The supporting cast includes Thomas Gomez, Edward Ashley, and Philip Ahn.
MACAO was directed by Josef von Sternberg and an uncredited Nicholas Ray, whose marriage to MACAO costar Gloria Grahame ended the year this film was released.
MACAO is available on DVD in a single-title release or as part of the Robert Mitchum Signature Collection. Extras include a commentary track by film noir expert Eddie Muller, actress Jane Russell, and one of the credited screenwriters, Stanley Rubin. The PRIVATE SCREENINGS joint interview Robert Osborne conducted with Mitchum and Russell is also part of the set; I've seen that program in the past and it's very enjoyable.
The movie has also had a video release.
MACAO can be seen on Turner Classic Movies. The trailer can be seen at TCM's site here.

Q: Does sharing with Facebook's Android's SDK really require android:exported="true" TL;DR:
Is it a must to specify android:exported="true" for Facebook sharing, or can I use the safer android:exported="false"?
Background:
I followed the official docs on Sharing on Android where it says in the Prerequisites section:

You also need to set up a ContentProvider in your AndroidManifest.xml where {APP_ID} is your app ID:

<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider{APP_ID}"
          android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
          android:exported="true"/>

This works fine, however the line android:exported="true" gives a warning:

Exported content providers can provide access to potentially sensitive data

From reading around, I understand this warning is about a potential security threat. So I changed that line to android:exported="false" and re-ran my app, which ran as expected with the Facebook sharing working well too.
So, can I get away with android:exported="false", or will this be a problem in the future, perhaps when I deploy my app to Google Play?

A: For my work place, we also are very very careful with android:exported="true". Generally, you can just leave it as android:exported="false" because you don't want other applications to access your app through the contentProviderId of that application. However, with the android:exported="false", applications that share your providerId (your other applications) will still be able to access it, but otherwise they can't.


'Ghost' is the latest track from White Light. The artist, from Calgary, Canada, whose real name is Brandon Linkewich, started his journey as an electronic artist at the age of 13, when he bought his first pair of DJ decks. Soaking up a world including the likes of Tiësto, Deadmau5, and Laidback Luke, he saw his destiny in dance music.
The name White Light was revealed to Brandon while still in middle school, and he began to use it in his DJ performances. He reinvested all his earnings into his business, and by 16 he'd amassed enough experience, not to mention new gear, to be invited to perform at his first festival, Alberta's TreeZen.
Brandon applied to and was accepted into the Icon Collective Music School in Los Angeles, and from there started experimenting with video, amassing millions of views and growing his online fanbase.
'Ghost' (ft. Avelyn) has been released this month on the US based imprint, Artist Intelligence Agency. The track is upbeat and pop-synth inspired with a deeply personal yet positive message, that in darkness, there is always light, you simply have to be brave enough to find it. Avelyn's vocals are gossamer light, while the instrumentals are spectacularly airy.
You can find out more about White Light online on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, while 'Ghost' is available to stream and download here.

I have been told, there may be a few people in this world who do not like chocolate. I'm not one of them…Hi! It's Kim, The Partiologist, sharing something for those who don't like chocolate. Years ago I made homemade animal crackers for my Circus Party and with all the treats offered, they were one of the favorites. I thought they would be great as little Easter Animal Crackers as well. So here they are!
They are the perfect cookie to fill up all those mason jars you have hiding in your pantry.
Besides being delicious, aren't they the cutest?
Use any Easter or Spring shaped plunger cutters. I found these at Williams Sonoma.
I found that if I rolled the dough under saran wrap, it didn't stick to the rolling in.
Cut out the desired shapes, place on parchment paper and bake.
Add this cute printable Chick to the top of the mason jar and tie with bakers twine.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on high speed for 2 minutes.
Reduce the speed to medium, slowly add the sugar and beat for 2 minutes, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute, stopping the mixer once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Let the dough stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Place each dough disk between 2 clean, large pieces of plastic wrap. Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. (If the dough cracks while rolling, let it stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes more.) Cover the dough with plastic wrap while rolling.
Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Dip cookie cutters into flour just before using and cut out the shapes. Hold each cutter over a prepared baking sheet and lightly depress the plunger to remove the cutout; the plunger will also imprint the tops of the cookies.
Bake the cookies until very light golden brown, 10 – 15 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the cookies cool to room temperature. Makes about 20 cookies of each shape.
These are so adorable! Also very welcome for someone like me who has nearly non-existent piping skills. Happy Easter Kim!
This is such a great idea. They're cute, look delicious, and I love how you can customize them however you'd like. For sure, kids in our village will love this!


All in all the development seems to have gone really smoothly!
I did just have a terrifying moment though, with 1 hour left I was packaging up the game and building it in release mode when I noticed half of then enemies would randomly not spawn!
Turned out to be an uninitialized variable, but it could have been a show stopper!
I cant wait to play everyones games tommorow after I get some sleep!
Surge, now with music and art!
Everything has been going to plan so far!
There is now 6 hours left, and so far I have added all of the Pixel Art, and even had time to make some oldschool tracker music!
Been working on a boss stage!
I've been working hard this morning to add a boss stage to my entry. Its a snake like creature, which you have to shoot from the head to the tail in order to defeat it.
On the technical side, its implemented by blending between different lissajou patterns every few seconds or so. There is also a bit of sinus bob on each segment to make it look a little more lively.
So I have been hard at work today, slaving away on my galagalike. Its soon going to be time for me to call it a night, which makes this a good time to post an update.
an ancient device who long ago push the scurge back from whence they came.
Hope everyone else is having fun too!!
Had an absolute blast making this game!
Lode Storm – Now with added sound!!
This marks the first real release of lode storm!
I spent most of this morning adding sound and some music to the game. Me and my girlfriend recorded all of the voice overs and I composed the music too.
I want to add in a win condition check and extra levels too.
Lode Storm Beta – Out now!
I just put up a playable beta of Lode Storm, my entry for the 7RTS. I hope you all enjoy it, and please let me know what you would like to see changed and improved. I wont make working right up to the deadline unfortunately since my hands are cramping up and it to painful to type any more.
See my entry details for a complete description of how to play. I am worried that it wont be too intuitive.
Here is a little spam of the new sloped tile animations.
Someone commented that they could not play my entry into this LD due to an error stating "Not A Valid Win32 Application." or something like that. I recompiled a version that should run on Windows XP machines as well as windows vista +.
I'll post a pic too because it is more obvious what my game was then just the name so you can see if you were effected by this.
So A full day on from the deadline, it might be a good time to reflect on the process and lessons learned through development of Ninja Flare.
First off, I compiled a little footage made looking at some of the backups I made of the game during development. This might give an interesting insight into the way the game was put together, and the order that things appeared in the game.
When the first list of final themes was put together, I tried to come up with a plan for each of the games, all 25 or however many there were. Some ideas spanned multiple themes so it made sense to try and cover as many as possible. I was really happy when 'minimalism' was chosen because Ninja Flare was a game I really wanted to have a go and make. The idea I originally had was very different to what was produced however and there were a few lessons to be learned from that.
My original idea was that you would play a ninja, in a run and jump setting. The loose storyline was that you were an assassin sent to kill the emperor because he has neglected his people and was corrupt. The game would start with you killing the emperor and then being chased by his elite guards, thus satisfying the need to run in this game. If you would be too slow then they would catch you and kill you, game over, try again. I also knew that for this kind of game to really work, the levels would need to be procedural, so that was on my list of things to do, although I didn't yet have an idea for the full setting. My loose idea was that it might take place in the city and you would be running over roof tops.
Thinking back this was not really a strong enough game concept or plan, since there was still too much to decide upon, and I had no idea how most of the systems in the game would actually be implemented. I was panicking due to the deadline and I just wanted to get something running and start developing, so in future it would be better to remember that planning properly saves time in the end.
My first step was to create the player sprite since this would be one of the most important elements of the game. I also wanted to make a mockup of the backgrounds etc to really get a feel for the aesthetic of the game. You can see the original mockup above. At the same time I started to program the player code and render him just as a rectangle, focusing only on the physics themselves. Pretty quickly the ninja sprite was integrated and tweaked to look right. Next the camera system was implemented. This was first done by giving the camera physical properties and accelerating it towards the player character, but in the end this changed to make it more stable and responsive.
I started to avoid thinking about the hard things and instead opted to add quick things to make it feel fuller, such as particle effects for his sliding feet, and leaves that fall across the screen to give a sense of the speed of movement and some depth to the world. In an artistic sense I wanted to avoid that it feels like everything is happening on one plane, so I wanted a foreground, mid and background with appropriate parallax.
The width of the ledges are random but they are bound to have a minimum and a maximum size to keep the level progressing, and to avoid super tiny ledges. The space between each new ledge is random, but can also be zero, since that is not a problem. The height of each new ledge is calculated as the height of the last ledge plus a random factor. The ledge height is then bound by a preset maximum and minimum to avoid this randomness taking the player slow way up into the sky or way down load with each new platform they jump on. It might not seem necessary but the way I implemented the parallax for the foreground and background, I needed the player to stay in a known region in the Y axis for best effect.
The ledges were stored in an ordered array from left to right of the screen, and as soon as the rightmost tip of the first ledge went off screen, I would pull that ledge out of the array, shuffle them all down, and generate a new ledge at the end of the array. This gave an infinite supply of ledges for the player, and is quick and simple. We just care about the level as much as what can be seen by the player, and they don't care that the level doesn't actualy exist behind or infront of you, thats realy just an illusion.
After this was implemented, I still had little idea of how to implement any form of enemies, or the enemies that would chase you across the level as I originally planned. I opted instead to fill my time adding little visual features like the clouds in the background, the sun, the grass, trees and pigeons, etc. Looking back that was really just because I wanted to avoid thinking about the difficult part.
I did however come up with a really nice effect for the sun in my opinion and it was super simple to achieve. I started with a fast circle drawing algorithm and decided that to create the heat ripples I wanted I would need to disturb the X location of each row in this circle as it was drawn. By storing the disturbance values as an array, the height of the sun, I could store these offsets and easily modify them to create the animation. I employed a very similar technique to that used in my level generator. Each frame I move the array up one place, and add in a new value in the space created. This new value, is just the value one place ahead of it in the array, plus a small random value. This then gets limited to avoid the sun being able to drift by accumulated randomness. In signal processing this acts like a form of high pass filter.
I also realized that I needed to add in objects to the platforms since they manage to convey the players speed and location and give the player some kind of reference for where the player is in the world. With solid blocks of colour, the only reference the player has is the gaps between the platforms as they move across the screen. It is crucial that the player knows exactly where they are and how their character is moving during the game. I added the grass and trees and such things to try and help this situation.
The enemies were the last thing that I put in and this was done when there was only around 6 or 7 hours of time left. This was a huge mistake to not give myself enough time in this respect because the enemies are the challenge to the game. Without some kind of obstacle for the player to overcome or any challenge to have to navigate, there really isn't a 'game' in my opinion. In Ninja Flare, the baddies were added without much thought to their purpose or the challenge they would provide. These enemies were quickly drawn up with the player sprite as a base. There is a pool of 6 enemies that is reused through out the level. Dead enemies are taken from the pool and inserted randomly on top of the first platform that is currently still off screen to the right. They are removed as soon as they are off screen to the left and added back to the pool of enemies, waiting to be recirculated again. There are about 6 possible enemies in the pool, so that is the maximum number that may be generated by the game. They follow a simple state machine, so that if the player is on their platform and in range of them then they must run towards him. If they are very close to him, then they should swipe at him. If he is past them then they sit idle, because I didn't want to have to mirror the sprite to have them running to the right.
Unfortunately the last few hours of development were rushed into creating a menu, and making the player able to kill these enemies and also be killed by them too. I wasn't able to tweak anything to create a real challenge in the time I had left. So they exist in the game as an unfinished challenge. There wasn't enough time left in the end to even implement some form of scoring, so the players don't really feel like the game is rating and challenging them. But lots of people seem to like the time I spent on the graphics and not on the game play so it want necessarily wasted, just misplaced I feel, in the challenge to create a game.
Proper planning is essential, since without it time will be spent in the wrong areas without a clear goal of what must be done.
Only focus on the most important elements of the 'gameplay' first. The 'gameplay' IS the game so that must be focused upon.
When designing, really try to understand how each feature should be implemented, to check if it is feasible in the time available.
Well it was all a bit worrying just how last minute the enemies were put into the game but they came out quite nicely, and the animations are smooth. I also had the realization that my delta timer I was using was all screwed up, so at the last moment I had to shift to fixed frame time updating for the entire game, so every animation and movement constant had to be tweaked to get it back to looking and feeling right again. Well this is my first game using all my own pixel art so this is something that I am extra proud of. Its also my first ludum dare, and I can safely say that, I loved it.

Democrats' campaign machine won the House — and left them $18 million in debt
The DCCC spent heavily in an unusually large number of races across the country and faced deep-pocketed opponents in GOP outside groups.

By Alex Seitz-Wald
WASHINGTON — First came the blue wave, then came the red ink.
The new leader of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, who is slated to be chosen Wednesday in the party's internal elections, will inherit $18 million in debt from this year's midterms, a source familiar with the group's finances told NBC News.
It's common for campaigns and party committees to finish election cycles in the hole as they throw everything they have — and then some — at an election, but the $18 million will have to be made up through fundraising before the new chairman can start building a warchest for the next election cycle.
Democrats' 2018 blue wave victories reach historic proportions
Nov. 22, 201803:17
The National Republican Congressional Committee also spent heavily this year as it fought to defend the GOP majority, taking out a $12 million line of credit that still has to be paid off, according to the committee's communications director, Matt Gorman.
Democrats racked up the debt while flipping at least 39 seats, taking control of the House and enjoying unusually strong fundraising year, with the DCCC taking in $272 million, including $106.3 million online.
But they spent heavily in an unusually large number of races and faced deep-pocketed opponents in GOP outside groups like the Congressional Leadership Fund, which spent roughly twice as much as their Democratic super PAC counterpart.
Overall, it was the most expensive midterm in history, with the DCCC spending at least $100,000 in each of more than 80 congressional districts as they expanded the map to places Democrats haven't competed before.
The Democratic National Committee, which has had its own fundraising woes this year, gave the DCCC slightly less money this year — $4.85 million — than the $5 million they gave in 2014 and 2016, or the more than $7 million they contributed in 2010, according to the source.
The DCCC has been taking a victory lap after its successes this year, including breaking the record popular vote margin for a midterm election.
Its outgoing leader, Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., is running unopposed for a job higher up the party's congressional hierarchy, which will be voted on Wednesday along with the vote on Rep. Nancy Pelosi's, D-Calif., bid for the speakership.
Also up for grabs will be the chairmanship of the DCCC, for which four Democrats are competing: Reps. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill.; Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.; Denny Heck, D-Wash.; and Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. The position was only recently made an elected one, instead of one appointed by the party's leader.

Groschwitz ist ein ehemaliger Gutshof mit einem weilerartigen Wohngebiet und wird als Ortsteil der Stadt Rudolstadt im Landkreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt in Thüringen kommunal betreut.

Geografie
Aus dem Rudolstädter und Saalfelder Saaletal kommend, erreicht man auf der Bundesstraße 90 bei Groschwitz das Hochplateau Schönefeld. Diese Hochebene reicht von hier aus in die Gemarkungen von Thälendorf, Sundremda, Ehrenstein und Nahwinden hinein. Sie liegt auf der Saale-Ilm-Platte, die überwiegend aus Muschelkalkverwitterungsböden hervorgegangen ist. Die Landesstraße führt weiter Richtung Stadtilm mit Anschluss an die Bundesautobahn 71 bei Ilmenau und Marlishausen.

Geschichte

Am 31. Juli 1334 wurde Groschwitz erstmals als Gut in einem Stadtilmer Klosterbrief urkundlich nachgewiesen.
Der Schreibweise nach handelt es sich um eine slawische Gründung, Funde aus dem 13. Jahrhundert bestätigen diese Annahme.

1512 waren elf Familien im Weiler sesshaft. Man nimmt aber an, dass diese auch in benachbarten Dörfern wohnten.
Später fiel das Gut wüst, wurde aber bald danach Schäferei. 1612 besaß das Gut eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Nutztieren. 1768 wurde das Gut als Kammergut bezeichnet. Es gab ein Wohnhaus mit acht Einwohnern sowie Ställe und andere Gebäude. 1863 wurde das Gehöft fürstliches Gut. Es wurde neu im Bahnhofsstil erbaut und bewirtschaftete über 80 Hektar mit vier Pferden, zwei Ochsen und zwölf Kühen sowie einem Bullen. Bis 1918 gehörte der Ort zur Oberherrschaft des Fürstentums Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.

1918 wurde das Land Thüringen nach der Abfindung des Adels Eigentümer. Kurz danach wurden viele Flächen als Exerzierplatz für die Rudolstädter Garnison gebraucht. Der Betrieb hatte nur noch 29 Hektar. Die Flur der Domäne wurde 1926 dem Gemeindebezirk Lichstedt angegliedert.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Gut VEG, dann LPG. Nach Aufgabe des Exerzierplatzes standen dem VEG 61,82 ha zur Verfügung, ab 1953 87,89 ha. 1960 betreute man etwa 500 Tiere am Standort, überwiegend Schweine. An den Gebäuden des Gutes erfolgten erhebliche Um- und Erweiterungsbauten.

Nach der Wende drohte der Abriss der historischen, stark abgewirtschafteten Gebäude. Über einen Ideenwettbewerb konnte der Erhalt und die Sanierung der historischen Bausubstanz erreicht werden. Unter Trägerschaft der Agrargenossenschaft Königsee wird die Domäne nun touristisch genutzt.

Q: How to update multiple occurrence a specific value of a object present in array of object within Postgres JSON Field Here is my JSON field where has multiple users with the same name. I want to update all users whose name is Devang to Dev
JSON
{
    "user": [
        {
            "user_name": "Devang",
            "user_weight": 0.7676846955248864
        },
        {
            "user_name": "Meet",
            "user_weight": 0.07447325861051013
        },
        {
            "user_name": "Devang",
            "user_weight": 0.056163873153859706
        }
    ],
    "address": [
        {
            "address_name": "India"
        }
    ]
}

After Update The JSON would be
{
    "user": [
        {
            "user_name": "Dev",
            "user_weight": 0.7676846955248864
        },
        {
            "user_name": "Meet",
            "user_weight": 0.07447325861051013
        },
        {
            "user_name": "Dev",
            "user_weight": 0.056163873153859706
        }
    ],
    "address": [
        {
            "address_name": "India"
        }
    ]
}

Here I have tried this query but update only the first occurrence due to subquery.
with cte as (
  select  id,  ('{user,'||index-1||',user_name}')::text[] as json_path
  from user_table, jsonb_array_elements(json_field->'user')
  with ordinality arr(vals,index) where arr.vals->>'user_name' ='Devang'
  )

 update user_table
set json_field = jsonb_set(json_field,cte.json_path,'"Dev"',false)
 from cte where user_table.id=cte.id;

Please also look at this DEMO
Any answer will be appreciated

A: You may use string function REPLACE:
UPDATE user_table
SET json_field = REPLACE(json_field :: TEXT, '"user_name": "Devang"', '"user_name": "Dev"') :: JSONB;

U.S. law enforcement officials' surprise announcement last year of U.S. criminal charges against FIFA officials bewildered commentators and futbol fans alike. Sure, FIFA had long been suspected of misdeeds. But how was it that the United States, a famously soccer apathetic nation seemingly removed from FIFA's alleged wrongs, had authority to enforce its laws against foreign parties and in connection with foreign events?
In a 2015 news conference about the FIFA charges, FBI Director James Comey explained U.S. jurisdiction this way: "If you touch our shores with your corrupt enterprise, whether that is through meetings or through using our world class financial system, you will be held accountable for that corruption."
Recent U.S. Bank Disclosure of FIFA-Related Investigation
Last week, a U.S. financial system link to FIFA came into focus when a major U.S.-based bank disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in connection with alleged FIFA "bribery, corruption and money laundering . . . and the potential involvement of financial institutions in that activity."
U.S. Dollar transactions and U.S. financial System links triggers of U.S. Jurisdiction
U.S. dollar and financial system dominance facilitate the extraterritorial reach of U.S. law—the U.S. dollar is the world's preeminent transactional and reserve currency and the U.S. financial system is predominant.[i] Thus, for example, foreign transactions that are denominated in U.S. dollars and processed through the U.S. financial system (e.g., through U.S. financial institutions, including U.S. branches of foreign banks) "touch" the United States and create a jurisdictional nexus to foreign parties, property, and events associated with those transactions.
U.S. enforcement actions against European banks in recent years illustrate some of the mechanics and consequences of U.S. dollar and financial system-tied jurisdiction.[ii] Many of the transactions that led to U.S. sanctions liability involved U.S. dollar payments on behalf of foreign parties in relation to foreign business.
A key takeaway (or reminder) from the FIFA case for U.S. and foreign financial institutions is that physical borders are no barrier to U.S. legal jurisdiction where use of the U.S. financial system is concerned.
To read more about U.S. financial system-tied jurisdiction over foreign banks in sanctions cases, read MassPoint's 2015 update, Emerging Trade and Finance Channels Led by Non-Western States Could Curtail the Global Reach of U.S. Law. For more discussion of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its reach to foreign parties, transactions, and events, read MassPoint's publication, Globalized Anti-Corruption Enforcement: Direct and Collateral Consequences for Private and State-Owned Firms.

[i] A distinction should be made between the bases for, and the effects of, U.S. jurisdiction. In the case of the kind of U.S. dollar and financial system-tied jurisdiction discussed here, the basis for U.S. jurisdiction is territorial—transactions processed through the United States financial system "enter" U.S. territory. The effects are extraterritorial, to the extent that parties, property, and/or events outside of the United States are affected or implicated.
[ii] Between 2009 and 2015, eight European banks—including HSBC, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and Credit Suisse—were assessed combined penalties of over $14 billion for, among other offenses, violating various U.S. sanctions programs, including against Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Myanmar and certain "blocked" parties associated with sanctioned countries, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction proliferation, and narcotics trafficking.

Yanks' Judge lowers boom on the Astros
Pete Caldera
TAMPA, Fla. – Here was Aaron Judge, in his familiar even-toned voice, taking a few big swings with opinions on the scandal-ridden Houston Astros.
About that 2017 world championship banner waving at Minute Maid Park?
"I just don't think it holds any value with me,'' the Yankees slugger said on Tuesday, believing the Astros should vacate that title. "You cheated…it wasn't earned.''
And that justice administered by commissioner Rob Manfred, offering immunity for information?
"I thought it was a little weak for a player-driven scheme, that no players involved got any punishments,'' said Judge.
On the Yankees' first day of full squad workouts for the 2020 season, Judge wasn't so sure the Astros played on the level in 2019, despite MLB's ruling that electronic sign-stealing methods could only be proven for 2017 and part of 2018.
But the '17 cheating carried through the postseason, where Judge's Yankees lost a seven-game AL Championship Series in which Houston won all four home games.
"Once it came out, I was pretty mad,'' Judge said. "Pretty upset to know that we were probably cheated out of the possibility of making it to the World Series.''
'Big-time' impact
Entering his fourth full Yankees season, Judge has often contained his sharpest comments to accountability and the business of winning championships.
Yet, just as reserved superstar Mike Trout made headlines with his thoughts on the Astros' cheating, Judge made it clear how he stood.
"Guys lost their jobs because of it, the (pitchers) that went into Houston and got beat up…and now they're out of a job because of it,'' Judge said of how Houston's scheming had impact beyond the Yankees' 2017 title chances.
"It affected the whole season,'' Judge said.
By stealing signs via center field camera aimed at catcher's signals and relying that info by sound to a Houston hitter, more players – even those who didn't cheat – were getting more opportunities with men on base.
"They can say that we didn't score runs, we didn't do this and that,'' during the 2017 ALCS. "But it affected the game big-time.''
2017 MVP controversy
A few days ago at Dodgers camp, reigning NL MVP Cody Bellinger pointedly said that Judge was cheated out of the 2017 AL MVP, won by Jose Altuve.
Judge held his fire on that subject.
"It's over with,'' said Judge, who finished second to Altuve, with two first-place votes to the Astros second baseman's 27.
But Judge confirmed that he deleted a congratulatory tweet to Altuve once the Houston scandal was exposed.
"I just didn't feel like the post that I did really meant the same anymore,'' Judge said.
Going forward, "I've got to make sure next time I don't keep the (voting) so close,'' Judge said. "Try to go out there and win it outright, so there's no question.''
It's the view of Houston's team-wide lack of accountability that most rankles Judge.
"If I have a bad game and I mess up, I'm gonna stand in front of the mic and say, 'Hey, I'm sorry, I messed up,''' Judge said. "And not to really hear that from some of (their) players, I think, bothered…a lot of guys.
"People lost jobs, money...a lot of things important to them,'' Judge said. "And to really not seem like (there's) any remorse, I guess, is what a lot of people were upset about.''
"This whole team's driven''
Judge said he was "sick to my stomach'' once The Athletic exposed Houston's cheating, through the comments of ex-Astros pitcher Mike Fiers.
"I think (Yu) Darvish was the one that said if you're playing in the Olympics, you win a gold medal and you find out you cheated, you don't get to keep that medal,'' Judge said.
Teammate Gleyber Torres strongly feels that the Astros' cheating also took place in 2019, and "it's tough to feel that it didn't continue,'' Judge said.
"To think that they cheated and won it all in '17 (and) they just clear-cut stopped...it's tough for me to say that,'' Judge said. "But we'll never really know, to be honest.''
And now it's officially on to the business of 2020.
"I was thinking about how I felt in that clubhouse after that last out,'' Judge said of the moments after Altuve's pennant-winning homer in ALCS Game 6.
"I don't want to have that feeling again. I don't want to have that emptiness, that disappointment, that failure,'' Judge said. "So yeah, I'm pretty driven. This whole team's driven.''

Steuernol & McLaren Funeral Homes of West Branch are celebrating their 100th anniversary by doing what they do best: giving back to the community. They are hosting the appearance of Reflections: The American Funeral, a mobile museum of historical funeral customs, during the Ogemaw County Fair in Michigan. This museum can provide citizens the opportunity to learn about the rich traditions of how we mourn the loss of loved ones.
Reflections: The American Funeral will be on display at the Ogemaw County Fair from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, August 17, through Thursday, August 19. The handicap-accessible exhibit is free and open to the public.
"We've been privileged to comfort and serve the community for 100 years," says Terry McLaren, Owner. "That's a milestone that we're proud of and a tradition of service that we'll continue for many years to come. The appearance of this thought-provoking mobile museum will educate our citizens on how we honor the lives of our loved ones, from veterans to celebrities to historical figures." Steuernol & McLaren operate funeral homes in West Branch, Rose City, and Saint Helen.
"Arlington National Cemetery" honors our country's veterans and the more than three million Americans buried in our national cemeteries.
"Glory, Glory Hallelujah" showcases President John F. Kennedy's riderless horse — empty boots reversed in the saddle — trotting briskly in his funeral procession and civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, who was the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda.
"The Lord is My Shepherd" is a poignant tribute to fallen public safety officers killed in the line of duty.
Reflections: The American Funeral has been touring across the United States since Summer 2008, stopping at state capitols, universities, veteran events, and mortuary schools, funeral homes and industry conventions. During January 2009 Inauguration celebrations, both Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore, MD, hosted it. Early this year, the exhibit was on display in front of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C.
Reflections receives support from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA); the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE); the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice (APFSP); Federated Funeral Directors of America (FFDA); and Kates-Boylston Publications.

Ghana's M'am Bea gears up for Big Brother finals on Sunday
Sheillah, Trezagah, Ellah & Goitse fell just one week short of a shot at the USD 300 000 prize on Big Brother Hotshots as they were sent home in a heart-stopping quadruple eviction on Sunday night. Their departure means that 8 housemates are left in the game – and one of them must be named as the winner next Sunday. Ghana's M'am Bea is the second housemate to make it to the finals and viewers must now choose between her and Butterphly (Zimbabwe); Idris (Tanzania); JJ (Zimbabwe); Macky2 (Zambia); Nhlanhla (South Africa); Sipe (Malawi) and Tayo (Nigeria) – and get voting! Next week's 2-hour live show will start an hour earlier, at 19:00 CAT, to pack all the drama of season 9 into one sizzling episode. Macky2 revealed his Head of House 'add' decision to the housemates, with Ellah declaring "I knew it" as he'd explained that he'd based his decision on who he felt was a strong competitor. The Ugandan was spared – in the first round of evictions, at least – as IK revealed that Sheillah and Trezagah had been evicted. Joining him on stage, the Motswana said that she'd known 'something was up' when she wasn't nervous for the first time, this week. She declared that her 'thing' with Nhlanhla as "very complicated" and that it wasn't "a relationship". Trezagah said he felt "so bad" at falling so close to the final and explained that he'd moved during the 'freeze task' – the only reason he was up for eviction in the first place – because he thought the task was over, and that he was being pranked again. IK went back into the house and revealed that someone else was going to be evicted. He read out two more names – Ellah and Goitse – taking the number of evictees to four. The Ugandan could consider herself particularly unlucky to be sitting on the stage with IK, rather than sipping celebratory champagne inside the house with the finalists, as she never received a single nomination on Monday and was only up for eviction because Macky2 had added her to the list. She showed her annoyance when she told IK that she just wanted to punch Macky2 – though she also said she was proud of him for making a bold decision. Goitse said she was feeling "super awesome" and that she was looking forward to using her newfound fame to help her explore dancing, acting, writing, poetry, presenting "and everything". Five housemates were tied on 1 country vote apiece after Africa voted this week, so the tie-breaker rule came into effect, sending the four contestants with the lowest percentage vote for all countries, home. Since JJ picked up a higher percentage vote, he was spared and sent into the final. Conversely, Tayo picked up the most country votes (4), followed by Idris (3) and Sipe (2). Sipe won the StarMeter prize this week on the back of the question: "Which of the Big Brother Hotshots housemates do you think has what it takes to win?". Big Brother celebrated the work done by the Friends of the Global Fund Africa this week, naming them as winners of the USD 100 000 ONE Africa Award – in keeping with the housemates' theme for the past week. Ugandan Reggae & Ragga star Bebe Cool performed 'Love You Everyday' and Fally Ipupa almost brought the house down with 'Original'. Voting opened immediately after the show and runs until 06:00 CAT on Sunday. Voters must now choose who of JJ, Tayo, Idris, Butterphly, Macky2, Sipe, Nhlanhla and M'am Bea they want to win Big Brother Hotshots! The more you vote for your favorite housemate, the better their chance of being named as the winner of Big Brother Hotshots this Sunday. There are four ways to vote the housemate you want to win. 1. Via SMS 2. Via WeChat 3. Via www.bigbrotherafrica.com 4. Via the mobisite on your mobile phone SMS Voting To vote via SMS: Text the keyword 'Vote', followed by the name of the housemate to the short code number for your country.
