Q: pytest doesn't execute project/__init__.py I have the structure of project like:

*

*chats

*
__init__.py

*
messenger.py

*tests

*
test_acs.py

*
__init__.py

here is the code in test_acs.py:
    from chats import messenger
    import asyncio
    import pytest
    import os

    def test_get_last_message():
        os.environ["API_ID"] = 'API_ID'
        os.environ["API_HASH"] = 'API_HASH'

        assert asyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(messenger.get_last_message('PARAM')) == '1'

here is the code in __init__.py:
from os import environ
API_ID = environ.get('API_ID')
API_HASH = environ.get('API_HASH')

But when I try to use API_ID / API_HASH in messenger.get_last_message() - python doesn't see them.
I checked and it turns out that pytest doesn't run chats/init.py at all, which is very strange. Maybe there are ideas? I start tests with python -m pytest from root directory. Thank you

Q: Amazon SES for sendmail in ubuntu i tried to use Amazon SES with sendmail on my ubuntu server for sending mail because EC2 ips are blacklisted and i followed the following tutorial
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/index.html?InitialSetup.EmailVerification.html
But its not working don't know why please help me

A: Amazon just released SMTP access to SES and it's not too difficult to setup now.  I whipped up a quick howto this morning:
http://www.millcreeksys.com/2011/12/14/how-to-configure-your-postfix-server-to-relay-email-through-amazon-simple-email-service-ses/

A: Did you request production access ? If not you may only send email from and to verified email addresses.

A: This has been improved by AWS. Go here for setup instructions: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/sendmail.html
Then PHP and other languages can simply use sendmail out of the box.

Q: Como instanciar uma classe com métodos abstratos em C# Em java podemos implementar métodos abstratos ao instanciar determinada classe
Thread threadA = new Thread(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
            for(int i =0; i<2; i++){
                System.out.println("This is thread : " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            }
        }
    }, "Thread A");

Gostaria de saber se isto é possível em C#, implementar um método abstrato em ultima hora,
e se possível gostaria de um exemplo

A: É possível sim, você precisa apenas criar a declaração do método de forma abstrata e então na classe que deseja adicionar a implementação usar o "override".
public abstract class MinhaClasseBase
{
    public abstract void MeuMetodo(string parametro);
}

public class MinhaClasse : MinhaClasseBase
{
    public override void MeuMetodo(string parametro)
    {
        Console.Write(parametro);
    }
}

Caso sua intenção seja criar métodos anônimos para iniciar uma thread, então você poderia montar assim:
var thread = new Thread(t =>
{

    for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
        Console.WriteLine("Dentro da thread. [{0}]", i);

}) { IsBackground = true };
thread.Start();

A: Sim, através de um objeto chamado Action Delegate:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.action.aspx

Por exemplo:
class Teste
{
    public static void MinhaAcao<T>(T numero)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Numero = " + numero);
    }

    public static Delegate CriarAcao(Type type)
    {
        var methodInfo = typeof (Teste).GetMethod("MinhaAcao").MakeGenericMethod(type);
        var actionT = typeof (Action<>).MakeGenericType(type);
        return Delegate.CreateDelegate(actionT, methodInfo);
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        CriarAcao(typeof (int)).DynamicInvoke(5);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Saffron the spice is the most unique and expensive spice in the world that is nothing but dried stigmas of saffron flower. The scientific name of the saffron flower is Sativus crocus, which is very rare in the world. It takes huge labor to extract even a small amount of saffron from the flower like for example it takes around 75,000 of the same flowers to extract at least one pound of saffron, which is comparatively less to the flowers needed for the process. It is not only because of the difficult extraction process but also because of its multiple uses saffron is regarded as the most valuable spice in the world. The unique aroma and flavor that it adds to the cuisines in which it is used is very popular among the masses.
Most of the spices of European origin including saffron are derived from the Arabic word Zafran that means yellow in color. However, the name of saffron in Hindi and Sanskrit were derived from the north Indian regions of Kashmir where saffron from India is produced. Saffron is very unique and valuable spice that adds up to its cost and most of us may find saffron very cheap in some regions but that can be also because of the cheap quality of the spice. Saffron is produced in the regions of Spain to the Kashmir region of India. Moreover, in some areas of Greece and Italy saffron is produced but in a comparatively smaller scale. When it comes to massive production, none is bigger than that of Iran, which is the largest cultivator of saffron till date and it alone denotes 75 percent of the total world production of saffron.
Kashmir is said to be one of the best blessed locations where best Saffron with optimum quality can be found. It is also the only place after Spain and Iran where saffron is cultivated in a very large scale. Here the production starts in the month of October in which the flower of Sativus blooms. The stigmas of the flower are dried in the initial stages and this dried saffron powder forms the purest saffron. This spice is distinguished from the other spices in terms of aroma and the flavor that it adds to the cuisines in which it is used. One of the most popular teas of Kashmir is 'Kehwa', which includes small quantity of Kashmiri saffron in it.

Featured Features Wrestling
Wrestle Respawn – WrestleMania 35 Predictions
Michael Fitzgerald Apr 2, 2019 0
Seeing as WrestleMania 35 is on the horizon this Sunday, I decided I'd dedicate some time this week to predicting who I think will win all of the currently announced matches on the show. As of me writing this on Monday night, this was the most up to date card I had to hand.
Raw Women's Title (And possibly Smackdown Women's Title too if they decide to put that on the line as well)
Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair
As of me writing this prior to Raw on Monday night, currently only the Raw Title is on the line here, but Charlotte won the Smackdown Title last week, so there's every chance that could be put up on the line in this one as well.
Plenty have complained over Charlotte getting added to this match when the issue was ultimately between Rousey and Lynch, and Asuka was also without an opponent. However, the fact remains that Charlotte is indeed part of this match, so we might as well accept it and get on with things.
I think the match itself should be good as all three wrestlers are talented and you'd hope that they'd be given a decent amount of time to craft an exciting Main Event.
As for my prediction, I can't shake the feeling that they'll go for a SWERVE ending and have one of Ronda or Charlotte win. Logically Lynch should take the Title, but logic and WWE don't tend to mix very well so I'll try and pre-empt the lunacy by predicting that Charlotte wins whilst poor Becky weeps away on the outside.
MIKES PICK: CHARLOTTE FLAIR
Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins
This is one of the colder male Main Events in recent Mania history, as Rollins hasn't been booked especially strong and Lesnar hasn't been on TV that often to heat things up. Personally, I'm sick of the Universal Champion not being a regular roster member, as not having the Champ on the show leaves a vacuum at the top of the card. For that reason alone, I'd like Rollins to win here.
However, since Roman Reigns returned to the WWE following his bout with cancer, I can't see any other outcome than Reigns being the one to eventually topple Lesnar and claim the Title, and for that poor Rollins must be sacrificed here, which is what I think will happen. It's harsh on Rollins, as he's busted his backside for months, but it just doesn't feel like his time. Hopefully I'm wrong
MIKES PICK: BROCK LESNAR
WWE Title
Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston
Kofi's unlikely ascent up the card has been one of the few more enjoyable occurrences in WWE recently, as it was a completely organic movement started by the fans who appreciated all the hard work Kofi had been putting in for over a decade.
Enjoyable as it's been however, I can't see WWE putting a major singles Title on Kofi, especially as Bryan has been doing such a fine job as the Champion recently. I also can't shake the feeling that Vince McMahon will be unable to resist the urge to troll his fan base once again, so for that reason my money is on Bryan, although I'd be delighted to see Kofi triumph
MIKES PICK: DANIEL BRYAN
No Holds Barred (Triple H must retire if he loses)
Triple H vs. Batista
This one is a big load of meh for me, as I would have much rather seen Batista work with Brock Lesnar, just because it would hold more intrigue. It shouldn't be forgotten that, outside of their corking Hell in a Cell bout, the matches in the previous Triple H Vs Batista were bang average at best, and that was when they were both 14 years younger and in much better physical condition than they are now.
If WWE is willing to live up to the stipulation, then I'd be fine with Triple H losing here and stepping away from in ring action. Physically he's fallen away drastically since his classic bout with Daniel Bryan and WrestleMania XXX and it's starting to become kind of sad watching him try to live up to a standard he just physically can't reach anymore.
Contrary to other areas of the internet, I quite like Triple H and I rate him highly as a wrestler, so I'd like him to go out with his head held high rather than damaging his legacy with more disappointing bouts. Simply put, he doesn't need to do this anymore. He's given us enough and he deserves to be allowed to step away gracefully.
As for Batista, I hope he finds the closure he's looking for here and can leave the wrestling business with his thirst quench. Fair play to him for stepping away from his cushy acting role to beat up his body again, but I'd be happy if this is the last time we see both men in the ring going forward.
MIKES PICK: BATISTA
Retirement Match
Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin
So, this is an underwhelming way for Kurt Angle to bow out isn't it? That being said, Angle is in the same camp as Triple H and it genuinely is time for him to hang up the boots. Having him destroy Corbin in a couple of minutes is probably the best use of him at the moment, and that's what I think they'll do.
MIKES PICK: KURT ANGLE
Falls Count Anywhere
Shane McMahon vs. The Miz
I couldn't care less about this match but I'm glad that Miz is making the most of his push. That being said, I don't think he'll win here, just because Shane hasn't won a big singles match in a while and he's only just freshly turned, so they'll probably want him to win for the purposes of HEAT. Someone might even run in to help him considering the rules allow it. Maybe Lars Sullivan will finally debut as Shane's muscle perhaps?
MIKES PICK: SHANE MCMAHON
AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
This is a very intriguing match because both men are very talented and it's a match that feels fresh on the grand stage. Again, due to this being the first match in what will probably end up being a 3-4 pay per view series, I'll go with Orton sneaking a win via dastardly means, thus meaning THE FEUD MUST CONTINUE!!!
MIKES PICK: RANDY ORTON
André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
They've been doing something with Braun Strowman and some guys from Saturday Night Live, so I imagine that'll get paid off somehow and Braun will win due to him desperately needing to win something.
MIKES PICK: BRAUN STROWMAN
United States Title
Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio
Joe has only just won the belt and Rey's nemesis Andrade Cien Almas will probably be lingering in the shadows, so I'll go with Joe retaining. The match probably won't get a lot of time but hopefully it gets enough for them to tell a story in there.
MIKES PICK: SAMOA JOE
Intercontinental Title
Bobby Lashley vs. Finn Bálor
I think we see The Demon here and that leads to Bálor picking up a relatively quick win to regain the Title.
MIKES PICK: FINN BALOR
Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
This is Reigns' big pay per view singles return following his battle with cancer and they've built up Drew nice and strong to prime him for eating a Spear, which is fine if Reigns is the direction they're going with. A big clean win here for Reigns should get him nice and ready for a challenge to Brock Lesnar.
MIKES PICK: ROMAN REIGNS
Women's Tag Titles
The Boss 'n' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) vs. The Divas of Doom (Beth Phoenix and Natalya) vs. The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) vs. Nia Jax and Tamina
I can't see past the Champs retaining here, because none of the other teams would be a better option as Champions. Still, if they pull a SWERVE and stick them on The IIconics I won't be too shocked or anything. The match will probably be rushed, but hopefully they've been working on it together and it's as good as it can be.
MIKES PICK: BANKS AND BAYLEY
WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal
Seeing as Asuka just dropped her belt, I see her winning here to "make up for it"
MIKES PICK: ASUKA
Cruiserweight Title
Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese
Murphy consistently has great matches and has been a solid Champion, so I don't really see any point in taking the belt off him right now, especially as it's possible that KUSHIDA could be waiting in the wings to challenge him at any time. For that reason I'll go with Murphy. This will probably be early on in the pre-show, but hopefully they get given some time and the fans are responsive
MIKES PICK: BUDDY MURPHY
So that's my picks. We can all reconvene next week to see how I did as well as a recap of the show itself. You can watch WrestleMania 35 this Sunday by visiting www.wwe.com/network . They usually give you a month free if you're a new subscriber, so it's worth a looksee if you're intrigued by the line-up. (This is NON-SPON btw, but I thought I might as well mention it)
Thanks for reading and I'll hopefully see you all next week!

Top Ten Side-Scrolling Beat-em-up Games


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used a chance to spend some time with the family during their visit to Jordan. Brangelina defied all possible rumors of break up and poor health of their 14 month old twins Vivienne and Knox Leon when heading for some sweet treat to Licky Licious Ice Cream Shop in Amman, Jordan on Friday.
And oh my God, Vivienne is like a small copy of Shiloh, Angie and Brad's first biological child, she's so cute!
Angelina and Brad visited Jordan right after spending time with Iraqi refugees in Syria. It was the first trip when Angelina took Brad to come along. Does it mean Pitt is also eyeing a UN Ambassador position? Your thoughts?
In case you're curious, while at Licky Licious Ice Cream Shop, Angelina picked Mango, while Brad went with Crocan (pecan with caramel and vanilla), JustJared.com reported exclusively.


The Whip Its available for Corporate Events, clubs, fundraisers and parties.
Born Dieter Louis Lewis, the enigma who would become known to the world as Sprockets was born in Vienna Austria to humble Tuba crafting parents. After a brief flirtation with a career in Extreme Naked Hang Gliding (a sport that unfortunately left him testicularly challenged), young Dieter discovered his newfound ability to mimic the voice of nearly any Pop singer. With this talent he would earn a residency at The Ham Shack in Bonn, wowing audiences with his remarkable voice and stunning spoken word poetry performances. This would be the twist of fate to bring him together with the infamous Ivana Humpalot.
Ivanas' rise to fame was typical. Born Ivana Cutchakakov, at the tender age of 17 she was already performing as the lead back up singer with Nena (of 99 Luftbaloons fame). At 19 she wed 89 year old wealthy German mattress baron Helmut Humpalot. Upon his mysterious death 2 months later she inherited his fortune and set out to use it to bring her unique musical stylings to Eastern Europe. During the 1986 failed coup attempt of Nena, she was dealt a tragic blow as the band refused to join her. In search of a new musical group, she partnered with American gal pal Martha Stewart, investing in biotech giant ImKlone. After Martha unwittingly took the company public, she was forced to move her research underground, research that involved the cloning of what she referred to as the "UberMusikan", a group of backing musicians that would be able to play any song better than all who had come before them. During this crucial time, Ivana ventured out to the Ham Shack to blow off some steam. Along with the packed house, she was mesmerized by Sprockets spoken word rendition of his original poem "Do You Want To Touch My Monkey?" and history was made.
Born from humble beginnings (test tubes to be exact), The band that provides the incredible music for these two superstars consists of guitarist #1, bassist #2 and a drummer who has eschewed any name and prefers to be addresed as AAAAARGH. Weaned in the laboratory on a steady neural feed of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (The live DVD), Van Halen II, and Kajagoogoo - The Greatest Hits, These superior musicians grown from the genes of Carlos Santana, Gene Krupa, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers survive solely on a diet of fluffy hot IHOP pancakes.


I absolutely adore these berry stained images by Corbin Gurkin Photography and Duet Weddings. The lovely invitations were designed by Ceci New York and the flowers by Camille Panzarello of Modern Day Design. The vintage glassware is so gorgeous, and I am tickled by the sheet music place settings.


This document describes how to use the popular USB memory sticks with Linux. However, it is also valid for other devices such as digital cameras that act as if they were just a USB storage device.
If you have an up-to-date system with the standard Arch kernel and a modern Desktop environment your device should just show up on your desktop, with no need to open a console.
This is the easiest and most frequently used method. It is used by many desktop environments, but can be used separately too.
See Udisks for detailed information, including list of mount helpers.
Note: Before you decide that Arch Linux does not mount your USB device, be sure to check all available ports. Some ports might not share the same controller, preventing you from mounting the device.
If you do not use a custom-made kernel, you are ready to go, for all Arch Linux stock kernels are properly configured. If you do use a custom-made kernel, ensure it is compiled with SCSI-Support, SCSI-Disk-Support and usb_storage. If you use the latest udev, you may just plug your device in and the system will automatically load all necessary kernel modules.
The first thing one needs to access a storage device is its identifier assigned by kernel. See fstab#Identifying filesystems for details.
Tip: To see which device is your USB device, you can compare the output of lsblk -f (explained in the linked article) when the USB device is connected and when it is unconnected.
This article or section is a candidate for merging with File_systems#Mount_a_file_system.
If mount does not recognize the file system of the device you can try to use the -t argument, see mount(8) for details. If mounting does not work, you can try to recreate the file system or even repartition the disk.
Note: See  for example mount/unmount scripts using sudo.
If it does not work, make sure that the file system is mountable and writable as root, see the previous section for details.
See FAT#Writing to FAT32 as normal user if you want normal user to do the mount/unmount action.
Multiple mount tools facilitate mounting as a regular user.
If you have connected your USB storage device to the computer and it is not listed in lsblk or dmesg, ensure that your BIOS has both XCHI Handoff and EHCI Handoff enabled.

Wigmore Mondays – Richard Egarr: Keyboard music of the Tudors and Stuarts

Byrd Fantasia in A minor; Pavan and Galliard; The Bells
Purcell Suite in G major; Ground in C minor
Blow Chaconne in FaUt
Purcell Suite in G minor; Suite in D major; Ground in D minor
L-R William Byrd (c.1540-1623); Henry Purcell (c.1659-1695); John Blow (1648-1708)
Listen to the BBC broadcast here
Written by Ben Hogwood
The harpsichord enjoys a rather chequered reputation in concert, and from personal experience at least among friends I can say it is one of those 'marmite' instruments.
Certainly it is unusual for it to have a place alone in a BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, yet here it was, with Richard Egarr beginning the 2017 part of the Wigmore Hall Monday lunchtime concert season.
In the event the BBC had chosen well, Egarr compiling a fascinating program of keyboard music from the Tudors (Byrd) and Stuarts (Purcell and Blow).
The music of Byrd, a composer for Queen Elizabeth, flows with obvious inspiration. Egarr's selection here began with the free and at times elaborate Prelude and Fantasia (from 1:43 in the broadcast), moved on to a more stately Pavan and Galliard (from 10:54 and 14:39) from the impressive collection My Lady Neville's Book and concluded with the descriptive The Bells (16:19), a remarkable piece of writing beginning with a single toll and working its way intricately through thrilling peals of bells.
Purcell, even now one of the greatest composers England has ever produced, appears to have written his harpsichord suites as a tuition aid, yet they are all characterised with dances fast and slow. Egarr played three suites here, the G major work (from 23:55 on the broadcast) the simplest and the G minor (from 37:07), with its brisk Corant dance, seemingly the most challenging. Most engaging, however, was the three-part D major suite (from 45:45), with its thoughtful Prelude and brief but vigorous Hornpipe.
Egarr also included two brief Grounds (pieces with a short, recurring bass line) by Purcell (27:24 and 49:31), with a third, A New Ground, as an encore (52:50). We also heard a Chaconne by Purcell's teacher John Blow (30:18), a chirpy piece that became increasingly busy and eventful, leading to a series of grand, block chords near the end.
Egarr's performance manner was conversational. He turned his own pages, and even gave the harpsichord itself a clap at the end, as though thanking it for staying well-tuned! His demeanour encouraged the audience to feel part of an intimate concert, and lightened some of the heavy cloud around London for the first Monday proper of 2017.
You can listen to the music in this concert on Spotify below, with recordings from Egarr himself:

New website allows SMEs to compare banks
According to City minister, Andrea Leadsom, the new website revealing how SMEs rate their bank will allow businesses to "vote with their feet". SMEs can compare banks and see who else is out there if they are unhappy with the service they receive.
The Business Banking Insight (BBI) shows how small businesses rate the performance and services of different lenders. The site, which is supported by the Federation of Small Businesses and the British Chamber of Commerce, went live on Wednesday and is designed to create greater transparency by sharing the experiences of small businesses.
Leadsom, who spoke at the launch of BBI said it would be: "a wake up call for banks themselves to start to improve services and target better products that small businesses want to see".
"This survey commissioned by the chancellor can play a key role in making financing and banking work better for SMEs. There's a fundamental lack of competition in the banking sector and that desperately needs to change. It's the first survey of its kind to look at the performance of the British banking sector as seen by Britain's own businesses, people who own and run their own companies."
Carried out by ICM, the Business Banking Insight is an independent study that has been created to reflect the experiences of small businesses online. Initially 5,000 micro, small and medium businesses were surveyed and the site will be updated with new survey data every six months. The website identifies 74 different lenders, using a five-star rating system and the results can be filtered according to the size of the business, location and so on.
According to the survey, sole traders and businesses with one-to-nine employees gave banks an average satisfaction score of 60% for current accounts.
David Perry, Associate Director, ICM Research said: "It really represents a powerful tool for small and medium size businesses when choosing a bank".
During a panel discussion at the launch event, Chief Executive of the British Bankers' Association, Anthony Browne said: "All the banks will want to be at the top of the rating system."
National Policy Chairman of the FSB, Mike Cherry said: "It's not easy for a small business or a sole trader to know who is out there. The challenge is getting businesses to know about it and use it as a tool."

Inspiring! Practical advice from practical people – a breath of fresh air. I've got more from this network over the last 4 months than anything else, and I've been running this business for over 3 years.

Because London Rocks…Every Advert Replaced With Cat Photos
An Underwater Bar…? Maybe It Will Help With Dehydration
Don't Miss The Color…Best Places To See Autumn Leaves
Published by Greg Stoker at October 8, 2016

The Holiday seasons are coming whether we are ready of not. Yes, it is only a little over a month away before Halloween and those Christmas ads are getting ready to stalk us with tricks and treats. Can anyone save us from the endless (and sometimes mindless) barrage of holiday cheer threatening our very own pocketbooks? It looks like someone this year has stepped up to take a mouse-size bite out of the onslaught on our guilt and debt. But who? Who can get London to rock? How about some cat photos?
C.A.T.S. To The Rescue
campaignlive.co.uk
The Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (or C.A.T.S.) has stepped out of the litterbox and up to the plate to save our senses. Instead of worrying about paying Christmas bills in January, C.A.T.S. wanted "a world where public spaces made you feel good." For two weeks from Sept. 12 through Sept. 25, London will rock with the Clapham Station advertising in South London taken over by C.A.T.S. showing cats in giant cat photos of every shape or form instead of the sexy and fancy presents we normally see.
The ingenious and far-sighted people of C.A.T.S. went to the power of the Internet. Armed with their idea of replacing normal advertising with pictures of giant, fluffy and cuddly cats, they needed a way of pulling it off. On April 28, 2016, CatsNotAds.org took off and garnered over 23,000 pounds of English money. That's in value and not in weight. 683 people from all over the world are helping London to rock.
Taking A Stand
Organizers even dealt with their own temptation. They were approached after initial success by the very same professionals they wanted to block. Those same advertisers wanted to fund the C.A.T.S. effort by letting companies put their own advertising on the groups' website. Talk about not getting the hint. Thankfully, organizers declined temptation and kept it in house with volunteers and achieved their goal despite not selling out. On May 21, London rocked when they reached their goal.
westside-eldos.co.za
Organizer James Turner stands in the hallway that his effort brought to life. According to metro-UK, James is quoted in his blog as saying: "The People behind it are volunteers who raised the money on Kickstarter. We want to inspire people to think differently about the world and realize they have the power to Change it." For about a month, people traveling the Clapham Common Tube Station will see a showcase of cats instead of toothpaste or the fanciest car.
The Greater Good
atlasobscura.com
In the end, the people of C.A.T.S. did modify their original goal in one way. The cats are more than just glamorous models tickling our fancy. All animals shown are homeless pets without a family to take them in this winter. The only thing bigger than the cats shown on the walls of the tube station are the hearts of the volunteers who put them there. After all, the holiday spirit is more about giving than spending, isn't it? Thank you, London. You rock!

Q: Minimal number of nodes in a complex line arrangement. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a collection of $n$ lines. Assume that $\mathcal{A}$ is not a pencil.  It is known (see http://www.springerlink.com/content/320p742475v6q746/) that if all lines are in $\mathbb{RP}^2$, then there are at least $6n/13$ nodes.
What is the minimal number of nodes, if all lines are in $\mathbb{CP}^2$?

A: In a paper by Hirzebruch "Singularities of algebraic surfaces and characteristic numbers", Cont. Math. vol. 58, part I, 1986, there is an inequality for the number of double and triple points of an arrangement of $n$ complex lines.
Denote by $t_k$ the number of points lying on precisely $k$ lines; if $t_n=t_{n-1}=t_{n-2}=0$, then
$$t_2+3t_3/4\ge n+\sum_{r\ge 5}(2r-9)t_r.$$
This inequality is obtained from the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality for surfaces of general type: taking a suitable cover of the plane branched on an arrangement not satisfying the  inequality above and  desingularizing one would obtain a surface of general type with $c_1^2>3c_2$.

Transboundary waters can be a source of conflict between or within states, especially in regions with water scarcity. However, if managed properly they can help build peace and sustainable development. Although there has been a large global interest and engagement in transboundary water management initiatives, the ways in which these affect and are interlinked with the broader development context in riparian countries including poverty reduction, environmental protection, economic development, political stability are still not well understood.
By gathering Swedish expertise from non-governmental organisations, public authorities, research institutes and private companies this cluster group aims to improve our understanding of the context in which transboundary water management takes place. It will help identify the features of successful projects by supporting research on how and in what areas the results of transboundary water management projects can be measured in terms of their effect on development, including on aspects such as the environment, poverty, economic development and political stability. The broader aim of the group is to increase the interest and engagement by riparian countries and development partners in transboundary water management by providing more in-depth knowledge about its results and links to the broader development context. Based on its research and dialogues, the cluster group will engage in international processes relevant to TWM and develop policy recommendations for development partners and countries with transboundary water resources.
In October 2011, Swedish Water House initiated a project to map what regional and international actors are doing within Transboundary Water Management. This was a response to the very limited, fragmented and often case-specific nature of TWM knowledge. The actor-based mapping aimed to assist the identification of "knowledge gaps" and needs for further actions, leading to more informed decision-making in water management. It also aimed to highlight positive examples of TWM, acting as a motivation for increased investments by development partners. It also sought to promote objective decision-making, thereby helping to form a framework for resource allocation in TWM. The database draws on the information collected through the mapping project and gives a snapshot of the activities, processes and projects of and tools used by actors working with various transboundary water issues.

Peugeot To Roll Out 'Made in Nigeria' Cars By June
Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) has concluded plans to restart operations in the country with 3,000 cars set to be rolled out in June.
In a chat with local business news platform BusinessDay, PAN's MD/CEO Ibrahim Boyi noted that the restarting the company's production plant was made possible majorly because of the automobile development policy that Nigeria unveiled last year.
"We are back in full…with the new auto development plan. I'm happy to announce it to you today that our plant will re-start activities in June this year," he said, adding, "our customers can only be in for better service, better customer satisfaction and we are offering them excellent products today that will compete with any brand in the market."
PAN made its manufacturing foray into Nigeria in 1971 after the country's leader at the time, General Yakubu Gowon chose Peugeot out of the 16 reputable vehicle-manufacturing companies in the world invited to submit a proposal on establishing a vehicle assembly plant in the country.
The PAN MD said the restarting of the plant would create job opportunities, noting that the plant used to have 2,000 workers, which are now down to 250. More hands will be needed in the company's new drive.
"We are in the process of recruiting new sales people because now we are regaining the market, we are re-building our market so we need to employ more people and this is the whole objective we have," said Boyi, who noted however that most of the people who had left the company will be reabsorbed first as PAN needs people with skills,
Nigeria had on October 3, 2013 announced the introduction of a new automotive policy that would discourage importation of cars and encourage local production.
The oil-rich country's Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga, had allayed the fears of the country's middle class, most of who cannot afford brand new cars, affirming that the "policy will not result in banning of the importation of vehicles in Nigeria but to focus on promoting investments in affordable made-in-Nigeria vehicles".
Boyi identified affordability as an issue, but said the used vehicles (popularly known as "Tokunbo" in Nigeria) market, which constitutes 75 percent of car imports is what every local car manufacturer should target.
"The only way you can penetrate that market is through pricing. In giving them brand new cars, affordable prices, I can assure you we would all rise to that occasion," said the MD of PAN.
Other car manufacturers including Kia, Nissan and Tata, have also signified interest to commence manufacturing in Nigeria.
It is expected that the influx of car manufacturing companies into Nigeria would reduce the cost of new cars in the country, create jobs and bolster economic growth.

SHOCKING!! A Young Nigerian Man Narrate How Police Robbed Him Of 100k


Baruani Ndume is a former child refugee from Congo that garnered international attention for winning the 2009 International Children's Peace Prize, as a result of his work in promoting children's rights and education in Tanzania. When he was in the refugee camp, Baruani set up a radio program (titled Sisi kwa Sisi) and children's parliamentary where he encouraged his fellow refugee children to voice out their concerns and promoted their right to be educated.
Baruani has lived in a refugee camp for many years, where there is a great lack of resources, and the children are not afforded education. In the midst of all the hardships and challenges that he faced, Baruani stood up and became a beacon of hope for his fellow refugee children.
But what turned this young boy from being a victim to a victor? What gave him the strength to fight through the seemingly insurmountable challenges and emerge as a winner? Let us read through the life of this extraordinary young person and learn that no obstacles can stop anyone from achieving his dreams if he is willing to fight for it.
Baruani Ndume is a former child refugee from Congo who garnered international attention for winning the 2009 International Children's Peace Prize, as a result of his work in promoting children's rights and education in Tanzania.
Through the radio program, Baruani is able to reach out to thousands of children in various refugee camps and empower them to reach for their goals in life. From its inception, "Sisi kwa Sisi" has grown to being broadcast into other countries, and has helped thousands of refugee children to be reunited with their families.
Baruani strongly believes that it is through education that the lives of the children in the refugee camps are improved and that the children themselves are given a bright future. Having spent a great deal of time in a refugee camp himself, Baruani has witnessed the terrible effects of not having proper education; many of his fellow child refugees were being used as slaves without them knowing it. This gave Baruani the intense desire to fight for the right to educate his fellow child refugees, something that has since become a growing reality in the country of Tanzania.
The most amazing trait that Baruani possesses, something that has kept him fighting all these years, is his persistent and 'never back down' attitude. Having gone through a great deal of suffering and hardship in his childhood, Baruani has decided in his heart that he would not let these things keep him from achieving his dream of a better future.
Baruani Ndume was born in 1993 in a small village in Congo. During that time, Congo was almost in a perpetual state of violence, with numerous tribes warring against each other for dominance and resources. Every month, thousands of families flee to refugee camps outside the country to escape the violence, and everyday someone is killed as a result of the crossfire between the warring tribes. And because of the constant wars in the country, poverty was very prevalent, and the militant groups took from the villagers whatever little resources they had, killing those who resisted.
This is the kind of life that Baruani had to grow up in. However, in spite of the poor and harsh situation that he had to endure while growing up, Baruani's parents loved him and took care for him, giving him a sense of compassion and care that he would later on carry throughout the rest of his life.
When Baruani was around four or five years old, his father died due to sickness. Because of this, Baruani was left with his mother, who never failed to comfort and care for Baruani during these trying times. Through his mother's love and guidance, Baruani was able to mature into someone that did not develop hatred towards others, unlike most of the fellow children he grew up with.
When Baruani was around seven years old, a great civil war broke out in Congo. Numerous people were being killed everywhere, and a lot more were fleeing the country just to escape the ongoing onslaught. In their village, Baruani and his mother tried to hide from the soldiers for a few weeks and escape before they were discovered afterwards.
The soldiers gathered Baruani and his mother into their house, and torched the building with the two still inside. As the flames engulfed the house, Baruani's mother forced him to escape through a small door and told him to not look back. The young Baruani managed to escape the village, leaving the fate of his mother unknown.
While running away from the village, Baruani had a chance encounter with an old woman from the village who was also escaping from the soldiers. The two immediately set out to a local airport and flew to Tanzania to get away from the conflict and save their lives.
In spite of all the struggles that Baruani faced in the camp, he did not allow these obstacles to get him to quit desiring for a better life. Even though he was often burnt out due to the numerous chores he had to do in the house, Baruani never gave up the chance to get education.
Through sheer determination and will, Baruani was able to study in the camps, where he learned that there were laws that were set up to protect the rights of children around the world.
Determined to change the situation, Baruani set up a children's parliament where he encouraged his fellow refugee children to voice out their problems and challenges, which greatly helped the children in expressing themselves.
Through these sessions, Baruani learned that his experience was not something isolated; almost every child in the refugee camps had the same story, and were looking to a bleak and dark future. And so, Baruani used the children's parliament meetings as a means of giving comfort to his fellow refugee children and share with them all the things he learned.
The radio show, however poor the equipment was, became successful, and soon garnered a large number of listeners. With the help of Radio Kwizera, a local radio station in Tanzania, Baruani was able to take his broadcast in the air and encourage many children.
Currently, Baruani's radio broadcast has spread not just in Tanzania, but also in its neighbouring countries such as Congo, Burundi and Rwanda, giving more refugee children the chance of being reunited with their families. Baruani himself currently lives in Holland, where he continues to work in promoting the rights of the children not just in Africa, but all over the world.

The Dragon Project Trust
Researches into rumours about the power and properties of ancient "sacred" sites.
Dragon Project Trust
News & Director's Blog
Please select one of the possible areas below by clicking on the title or associated picture
Physical Energy Monitoring
The Dragon Project was founded in 1977 (becoming a Trust in 1988 ) initially in order to mount an interdisciplinary investigation into the rumours (existing in both traditional folklore and modern anecdote) that certain prehistoric sites and ancient venerated places had unusual forces or energies associated with them. This work in the project's early years was partially funded by the Threshold Foundation. The Dragon Project, a loose and shifting consortium of volunteers from various disciplines, conducted intermittent physical monitoring sessions at sites in the UK and other countries, over several years.
Ancient Sites Dreamwork Programme
In 1990, the DPT decided to shift the main focus of its work to the study of the interaction between human consciousness and ancient site environments. Its first effort in this broad area of enquiry was its ancient sites dreamwork programme, which had Dr Stanley Krippner of the Saybrook Institute in San Francisco as consultant.
Primary Sensing
In the early period (late 1970s- mid-1980s) when the Dragon Project (later a Trust) conducted its physical monitoring, it also ran a side-programme making on-site studies of people claiming skills in primary sensing, such as dowsers and psychics. Could they tell us anything reliable about the sites we looked at, especially the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire, the main field HQ of the project? Dowsers were invited individually on site and given identical reference materials – three site plans on which to mark their dowsing findings at three different, set levels beneath the ground.

A/D conversion, processors marketed less actively than sensor characteristics?
In most literature about digital photography, there is some info-graphics about the path of the light signal from sensor to the storage. It starts with sensor, then there is the Analog-to-digital-converter, the processor, the image buffer and then the card.
It seams to me that Analog-to-digital-conversion characteristics and processor characteristics of digital cameras are less thoroughly marketed than sensor characteristics. Why is that? I mean, the CPU and GPU manufacturering companies market their stuff very aggressively as well.
Why don't the "prosumer" camera vendors do their marketing this way (focusing on the entirety)? It's mainly pixel numbers, and not much else.
I think the overall interactions of the whole chain is what is decisive for me, plus the usability of the GUI of the in-camera software.

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about marketing. Whatever the reason(s) behind the way DLSRs are promoted, they don't change the characteristics of the cameras or the way we use them to make photographs. – Caleb Dec 6 '13 at 18:11
I don't think this is just marketing; it's also about the relative importance of this part of a camera body. – mattdm Dec 6 '13 at 18:58
it started with me noticing that A/D conversion does not get much attention in the marketing literature (see title of the question), although this step is important and should get more attention, probably. As I was writing this, the problem became more involved and it became two questions – knb Dec 6 '13 at 20:21
I think your premise is basically flawed. Every DSLR maker gives a fancy marketing name to their processor chain and hypes it in press releases for new cameras.
For example, Canon calls theirs "DIGIC", and touts it as part of a their digital trinity (the other two parts being designed-for-digital lenses and the sensor).
The Canon DIGIC 5+ Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Data processing performance is 17x faster than the Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor and features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. Improved noise reduction provides greater image quality and a faster processing speed makes it possible to obtain high-quality shots during continuous shooting.
Nikon calls theirs EXPEED, and here's an example from their marketing material for the D5200:
The D5200 comes equipped with image-processing engine EXPEED 3, equivalent to that of higher-end models such as the D4. It processes multiple tasks in parallel at high speed while maintaining high precision to bring out the full potential of the 24.1 megapixels for both still images and movies. The image processing of the EXPEED 3 is excellent at color reproduction, gradation processing and image quality at high sensitivity. It reproduces human skin tone, eyelashes and hair more faithfully. Furthermore, from image processing and card recording to image playback and image transfer, EXPEED 3 manages massive amounts of data at high speed. Even with high ISO noise reduction and Active D-Lighting, continuous shooting speed is not sacrificed, realizing comfortable shooting. This also contributes to energy saving.
Sony's engine is named "BIONZ", and they've got a whole page about it:
For enhanced detail reproduction, Sony's BIONZ™ Image Processing Engine infuses a sense of vibrant realism in every shot taken by an α DSLR.
It works by rendering colours captured by the α lens accurately – emphasising them with a rich layer of texture and depth just as the human eye perceives them. Working together with an Exmor™ CMOS Sensor™, BIONZ™ also eliminates noise during RAW data conversion and image processing, reproducing images in realistically vivid colour and detail.
A totally new way of enjoying photography has truly begun with BIONZ™ Image Processing Engine and the α DSLR. High-quality photos for everyone, with advanced technology that's sure to impress. That's the α attitude.
Pentax bucks the all-caps trend with "Prime". They don't quite go on about it as much, but it's still prominent in, for example, the Pentax K-3 press release:
By coupling this sensor with a newly developed PRIME III imaging engine with high-efficiency noise and image processing capacities and an anti-aliasing filter-less design, the K-3 delivers high-resolution, fine-gradation images.
And, Olympus -- I shouldn't forget that, since it's what you say you use! -- calls theirs "TruePic", and this is from the OM-D E-M1 press release:
New TruePic VII image processor
The Olympus-original image processing technology Fine Detail has evolved into Fine Detail II for proper correction of magnification chromatic aberration that differs depending on each lens's movement, and applies the appropriate sharpness processing according to the lens type and aperture value for natural, high-quality resolution. The E-M1 is also equipped with moire-removing processing equivalent to that of a low-pass filter, which helps reduce compression artifacts that tend to occur during sudden scene changes when recording a movie.
So, why does this seem less visible to you, prompting the question? I think we're still at the stage in digital camera development where sensor characteristics are a big enough differentiator that they grab most of the attention. (It's still a lot about the megapixels, although high-ISO performance has risen in prominence too.) Maybe in a decade that will slow down, and the other marketing areas, like this one, will catch up.
I do want to note that it gets at least enough attention that we do get questions about it on this site, like this one: Does Expeed 3 make D3200 better than D5100?
mattdmmattdm
okay, admitted, the chain is indeed marketed and hyped, but the A/D converter step does not get much attention in the corporate PR material and tech-doks. – knb Dec 6 '13 at 20:17
@knb I think that's because the A-D converter is essentially boring except in terms of bit depth (usually mentioned and sometimes made a big deal of) and possibly read noise (which goes to AJ's point about this being included in overall promotion of high-ISO abilities). – mattdm Dec 6 '13 at 20:45
Many stats that are traditionally thought of as being the "sensor" are actually a result of the actions of the sensor, the A/D converter and the image processing chip. They may be physically distinct parts, but they work very closely together. Many of the "sensor" characteristics go beyond simply the light sensitive portion of the sensor. They include how the A/D converter and processor are used in the overall performance. You can't mix and match sensor, A/D converter and processor, so they are all just grouped as characteristics of the camera. There is no need to know how much of the ISO performance comes from the sensor or the A/D Converter or the image processing chip. All that matters is the combined performance.
Sure basic consumer marketing focuses on MP count and the number of x the zoom can do, but those are both near meaningless values that consumers just don't know any better than to look at. The marketing for any DSLR or high end camera is going to talk about characteristics that are directly impacted by the sensor, the A/D converter and the image processing, even if they don't specifically mention them as separate pieces, because it's a result of all 3 working on it.
AJ Henderson♦AJ Henderson
The question is not about separation of components. The question is: Why are only some parts of it marketed aggressively and others are not? (And where to find information about that.) – Cornelius Dec 6 '13 at 16:42
@Cornelius - that's precisely my point. The basis of the question is off. The marketing is about the whole unit, they just don't distinguish the A/D converter or processor from what comes off the actual sensor itself. The data they describe is the result of all three parts. – AJ Henderson♦ Dec 6 '13 at 16:51
Except they do when they talk about MP. Or in the ways pointed out by mattdm in the other answer. – Cornelius Dec 6 '13 at 16:52
They talk about far more than MP. Noise handling, dynamic range, color reproduction, plus just about anything other than MP is descriptions of the entire system. MP is just used in the simplest marketing because it makes it "simple" for consumers, but MP is a useless number, just like an x zoom number. – AJ Henderson♦ Dec 6 '13 at 16:52
@Cornelius - MattDM points out that they do specifically mention the processor, which is true. But even on stats that are generally attributed by most people to the sensor, the A/D converter and the image processing chip play an important role. None of the pieces work by themselves. My assumption in this answer is that the OP was thinking that things like Noise level and dynamic range are solely part of the stats of the sensor, but they are not. That is my point. – AJ Henderson♦ Dec 6 '13 at 19:11
Others have pointed out that manufacturers do market their processing units as being unique and superior to the competition. Perhaps your perception is based on the fact that the coverage by photo review sites and the press doesn't pay as much attention to that end of things as they do to the specifications of the sensor.
Keep in mind that most enthusiasts and pros shoot many if not most of their images in RAW file formats in which the demosaicing of the data from the image sensor is performed off camera. The question then becomes focused on which application provides the best RAW conversion: The manufacturer's own software, Adobe Camera Raw, Aperture, DxO, etc? The in camera processing routines are most vital when the data from the sensor is converted and compressed to JPEG before it is saved to the card. But most shooters who dig into the details of camera models are probably saving their files as RAW images most of the time.
Michael CMichael C
The signal processing of an image always passes the ADC and the processor. They are mandatory and their quality is key for good dynamic range and low noise amongst others. – Grebu Mar 29 '16 at 17:51
Yes that is true to a point, but the comparative lack of full information in a camera generated jpeg compared to a full raw file means that a raw file can be much more flexibly processed off camera than a jpeg can. Thus the emphasis shifts from which camera has the best jpeg engine to which software does. – Michael C Mar 30 '16 at 3:56

Yes, really. All above told the truth. Let's discuss this question. Here or in PM.


The most simple and cost effective way to control a stepper motor is to turn on the complete winding of the motor. A majority of stepper motors operate with four phases, this requires each phase to be turned individually. This is usually done by using a transistor switch that features an on and off button.
Also available off the shelf are chips that contain internal transistors which control the external mosfets (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor). Once the full step is complete, the shaft of the motor will turn 1.8 degrees.
Stepper motors are also able to move in a half step, compared to the full step listed above. This refers as the motor only rotating one half of a step (.09) at a time, rather than a full step (1.8).
Like the full step transistor, mosfets can be used to inexpensively control the motor. When ran in half step the motor tends to run a bit smoother, and less resonance issues will occur.
In the 1980's micro-stepping control were created for stepper motors, and quickly popularized by Compumotor. This type of drive technique is the most popular, however, it is also the most expensive compared to the half step or full step.
Since the creation of this type of stepper motor many companies have been able to develop micro-stepping motors at a more economical price. Many of the stepper motors on the market today operate by using the micro-stepping technique.


Welcome to this week's edition of Sugar-Free Sunday! I'd love to have you link your sugar-free, reduced sugar, or no-sugar added recipes, as well as product reviews or recommendations for sugarless products.
After last week's less-than-spectacular apple noodle kugel, I wanted something else to satisfy my sugar-free sweet tooth, so I decided to whip up a quick and easy sugar-free cheesecake, crustless again, but this time with a sour cream topping.
Mix all ingredients, and spread in a greased or cooking-sprayed pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes, or until puffed and "set" in the middle, and browned around the edges. At this point it will look beautiful and puffy, but it will "de-puff" and settle when it cools.
Spread the topping over the cheesecake, then return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or so, to set the topping. Cool completely and serve as is or with fresh fruit.
I may be getting slightly cheesecake obsessed--this is the third sugar-free version I've done. They're all fairly similar, but I think I like this one the best so far!
Thanks to Chaya from my Sweet and Savory for linking her Apple Rice Pilaf with toasted almonds last week!
Thanks for linking this up to MMM. What a delicious looking pie. It must be exciting to eat such good food without the sugar.
I can't believe, I found one on each blog. You might want to check and make sure, I am right about the sugar.
I am doing this as I rush to leave the house.
I forgot to tell you I've been putting some bottled lemon juice in my cheesecake and sometimes I add a little bottled lime juice to it. Let me know if you want amounts.
I made a cheesecake like this last week (sour cream topping) but I didn't make it sugar free.
This looks really yummy! Wish I had a slice!
I'm celebrating my 3 year blogiversary this week. I'd love for you to come by and enter my follower giveaway. The prize pack includes a Presto Cool Touch Griddle!
I've always wanted to make my own cheescake! I'd love for you to stop by What's Cooking Wednesday to link up a recipe each week!
this looks yummy! i am a huge cheesecake fan, i have never tried a sugar free version. we have a neighbor with diabetes...i am sure he would be grateful to find this on his doorstep...i just might have to "boo" him with it. thank you for sharing your recipe with tuesday night supper club!
I was at a birthday party the other day and your lemon cake was served for dessert. I love anything lemon and this was the best dessert I have ever eaten. Will you ever print this recipe in your blog?
looks good! Thanks for linking up to What's Cooking Wednesday! Hope to see you again next week!
How great that this is sugar free and yet looks so delicious.


A $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved with tagging crews was announced last Friday by Alderman George Cardenas (12th Ward).
Residents have called in and sent pictures of the graffiti around the ward. Alderman Cardenas recently had a meeting with the Commissioner of Streets and Sanitation to discuss concerns over graffiti.
Additionally, Alderman Cardenas invested in 'Tag-Away', a graffiti remover, as a temporary measure. The sub-zero cold temperatures have caused traditional graffiti equipment to work improperly.
Residents are encouraged to report any incidents of vandalism immediately to 911. They are also encouraged to report new graffiti to the 12th Ward Public Service Office at 773-523-8250 as soon as possible.

SBA OHA Case Reminds Us That Familial Relationships Can Impact Small Business Size Status
On February 13, 2017, the SBA Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) issued a decision in the matter of: Size Appeal of Prosol Associates, LLC, Appellant. Appellant was named the apparent awardee of a contract for IT training with the marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC). In response, an unsuccessful offeror filed a size protest alleging affiliation with ProSol, LLC (Prosol) based on an identity of interest, the newly organized concern rule, and totality of the circumstances. This appeal arose out of the SBA Area Office's size determination that Appellant was not a small business under the applicable $15 million size standard due to its affiliation with ProSol based on identity of interest (based on familial relationship between father and son).
Background Facts
Michael E. Dean (ME) is Appellant's sole shareholder and CEO.
Michael J. Dean (MJ) is the father of Michael E. Dean and the sole owner of ProSol.
ME acquired Appellant in 2008 but from 2002 - 2010 held a variety of positions at ProSol (thus, there was a period of 2 years where he was employed by ProSol and Appellant).
Appellant subleases office space from ProSol at market rates (note that Appellant's office space can only be accessed through space occupied by ProSol); Appellant and ProSol therefore have the same business address.
Appellant and ProSol, although they do not have the same primary NAICS code, so have 13 common NAICS codes as listed on their SAM profiles.
Since 2008, Appellant has been a subcontractor to ProSol and receives, on average, 16% of its revenues from such subcontracts from ProSol.
ProSol was listed as Appellant's subcontractor on the proposal for the contract at issue in this case.
Legal Analysis and Applicable Standard
SBA regulation 13 CFR 121.103(f) creates a rebuttable presumption that family members have identical interests and must be treated as one person, unless the family members are estranged or not involved with each other's business transactions.
The presumption created by 13 CFR 121.103(f) can be rebutted if the challenged firm is able to show there is a clear line of fracture among the family members.
"Factors that may be pertinent in examining a clear line of fracture include whether the firms share officers, employees, facilities, or equipment; whether the firms have different customers and lines of business; whether there is financial assistance, loans, or significant subcontracting between the firms; and whether the family members participate in multiple businesses together."
Note however, that a minimal amount of business or economic activity between two concerns does not prevent a finding of clear fracture.
SBA OHA Decision
In upholding the SBA Area Office's size determination finding that Appellant and ProSol were affiliated such that Appellant's revenues exceeded the applicable size standard, OHA found the following to be relevant:
Subcontracts from ProSol accounting for 16% of Appellant's revenues is not considered a minimal amount, but rather represents a significant portion of Appellant's Revenues.
The fact that the two firms share office space and that ProSol was listed as a subcontractor to Appellant on the contract at issue.
Since the two firms have 13 common NAICS codes listed in their SAM profiles, they cannot be said to be in completely different lines of business.
ME never achieved a clear fracture from his father's business interests since ME worked at ProSol and continued to work there for a period of 2 years after ME had acquired Appellant.
One firm does not necessarily have to exercise actual or total control over the other firm for there to be affiliation; rather, the existence of the relationship itself is enough to create a presumption that the family members have identical interests.
If the presumption applies, it is always the burden of the challenged firm to rebut the presumption by showing a clear line of fracture.
This presumption applies not only in the context of contract award, but it also applies with respect to eligibility for small business contracting programs like the 8(a) Business Development program, the HUBZone program, WOSB and SDVOSB programs.
Many firms that we consult with don't have a good understanding of the significance of familial relationships and how they can have a big impact on various aspects of federal contracting. This case is a good reminder that identity of interest should be a serious concern for small businesses. Although the Appellant in this case was unsuccessful, this case nonetheless provides a roadmap for other firms in the same or a similar situation in terms of steps they might take to create a clear line of fracture. For more information on identity of interest and affiliation, please contact us at: info@holomuaconsulting.com.

It really helped when you said that small businesses should also have eligibility when it comes to contracts such as 8(a) assistance development programs and more. I can imagine the there are so many factors to consider in the process of owning a business, but it seems that the contracts are one of the most important ones. It must also be helpful to have the guidance of experts to actually succeed in this endeavor that an individual would want to pursue.


Cold and damp weather can put a strain on your car's 12-volt battery. Cold weather makes it harder for an engine to turn over, but unfortunately, as an EV driver will tell you, cold weather also has a negative impact on the power a battery can deliver. If you haven't changed your car battery recently, then it could be tired, and the cold weather means it might not play ball. Add in the additional power drain of heaters and other electrical devices, and it can become a critical component. If the battery struggles to provide enough power to start your car, the chances are it's on its way out. While with its design the QX50 may stick to tried and tested brand methods, big changes should be coming under the bonnet. The QX50 Concept revealed at Detroit was used to preview the brand's new variable-compression turbo petrol engine –a downsized petrol 2.0-litre power unit that will replace the ageing 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine currently used across the brand's line-up. "We weren't a bunch of accountants," he told Automotive News in 2003. "We knew the importance of people." With the £5,995 Huntsman Accessory Pack added on, the D-Max Utah Double Cab manual comes in at £36,115 while the automatic version will cost £37,315. Step inside, press the bright red starter button and the supercharged V8 bursts into life with an intensity that is often missing from modern-day turbocharged engines. It's a real brute of an engine that is absolutely brimming with character; at low speeds, you're treated to a lovely V8 warble that's soon joined by a delicious, high-pitched wail from the supercharger as the revs climb. It's an intoxicating soundtrack that is backed up by prodigious levels of performance. Being Competizione spec means that 1451 GT is one of only eight, aluminium bodied 250 GT LWB California Spiders. Under the bonnet, the 3-litre Tipo 128F engine produces 263bhp at 7,300rpm, and has triple DCL6 carburettors connected to a competition-spec fuel tank, which aims to keep this italian horse prancing at full chat for as long as possible. Ford's bookkeeping at the time was "truly a never-never land," David Halberstam wrote later in The Reckoning, a landmark book that chronicled the ills of America's auto industry.
