DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the method for the user interfaces integrating multimedia files according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, two different types of media files are read first, and then played and edited at the same time, respectively, by a switch key changing the interfaces corresponding to the two media files when editing and playing the two different media files.
First, the user selects a media file in the browse dialog, such as window's file manager or the equivalent, on the computer screen, and reads the media file by double-clicking the left button of the mouse, and then the media player program of the present invention is launched to open and plays the media file. In the meantime, an user interface corresponding to this type of media file is displayed on the screen (step S110) in which the type of the aforementioned media file is not limited to, but it can be any type of multimedia file, such as a picture file, an audio file, or a video file, etc.
In the next step, the user can read another type of media file in the same way, and then the media player program is launched to play the media file, and an user interface corresponding to this type of media file is displayed on the screen (step S120) at the same time. The user can further open more different types of media files simultaneously, and the user interface of the media player program in display remains the interface corresponding to the type of the most lately opened media file.
The user interface described above in display depends on the type of the media file opened by the user. If the user opens an audio file, the media player program shows the user interface for playing audios (as shown in FIG. 2). The related data and buttons of the audio file are shown in the window of the user interface, and the user interface may have a plurality of function keys to allow the user to perform a job on the audio file with the click of a function key. In the present embodiment, the function keys of the user interface handling audio files include play key 21, stop key 22, fast rewind key 23, fast forward key 24, sound key 25, volume adjustment key 26, and interface switch key 27, etc.
In an embodiment, the media player program displays the user interface for playing videos (as shown in FIG. 3) if the user opens a video file. The related data of the video file is shown in the window of the user interface, and the function keys of the user interface include play key 31, stop key 32, fast rewind key 33, fast forward key 34, sound key 35, volume adjustment key 36, interface switch key 37, resize key 38, and full screen key 39, etc.
In another embodiment, the media player program shows the user interface for playing pictures (as shown in FIG. 4) if the user opens a picture file. Wherein, the related data of the picture file is shown in the window of the user interface, and the function keys of the user interface include play key 41, stop key 42, previous page key 43, next page key 44, interface switch key 45, resize key 46, rotate key 47, cut key 48, and paste key 49 etc.
The settings of function keys in the user interfaces described above are only some embodiments of the present invention. The operation functions thereof may include play functions, such as play, pause, stop, fast forward/rewind, automatic display, volume adjustment, window's size adjustment, random play, sequence play, and loop play etc., or edit functions, such as zooming, rotating, editing, resizing, and image processing etc. The range of operation functions is not limited to, and the user can add or delete some function keys as required without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In another embodiment, the interface switch keys 27, 37, and 45 in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 can be integrated into one switch key. In other words, if the user plays a music file, he/she clicks the switch key 27 in FIG. 2, and the switch key 27 will pop out a menu. This menu is for selecting window, picture or video, to switch to.
In addition, the user can open the same type of media files repeatedly. The media player program stops playing the previous media file and starts to play the next media file when the program receives such a play command. Accordingly, the play order of the media player program in the present invention is determined based on the sequence of the media files the user opens.
When the user opens and plays more than one type of media files simultaneously, the interface switch key, the interface switch keys 27, 37, and 45 in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 in the user interface, these interfaces can be used to switch from an to (step S130), allowing the user to execute functions, such as play, edit and so forth on the media file played by these function keys on the user interface.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the method for integrating the user interfaces of multimedia files according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, a media file is opened and, then a switch key is used to switch to another user interface corresponding to another type of media file. In the meantime, another type of media file is played and edited through this user interface.
Similar to the embodiment described above, the user selects a media file on the computer's screen and opens the media file by double-clicking the left button of the mouse, and then the computer calls the media player program of the present invention to open and play the media file. In the meantime, a user interface corresponding to the type of the media file is shown on the screen (step S510).
In the next step, the user chooses to switch to the type of the media file to open through the interface switch key shown in the user interface. The user interface shown on the screen is changed to the user interface corresponding to the type of the selected media file (step S520).
Finally, a media file of another type is opened and played through the user interface (step S530) wherein the aforementioned type of media file may be a picture file, an audio file, or a video file, and the corresponding user interface may also include different function keys without limitation in the range thereof.
Based on the steps described above, another embodiment will be explained here. First, the user selects to open a music file, and then the computer calls the media player program to play the music file. In the meantime, the user interface corresponding to audio files as shown in FIG. 2 is shown on the computer's screen, and then the user can use the function keys on the user interface 20 to control the computer to play the music file.
If the user wants to edit a photo at the same time when the music is being played, the user can switch the user interface 20 to the user interface 40 corresponding to picture files (as shown in FIG. 4) by using the interface switch key 27 on the user interface 20. In addition, the user can open and edit the photo using the function keys on the user interface 40. With the above steps, the user can listen to the music and edit the photo on the computer simultaneously; therefore, the inconvenience of having to open different software programs is avoided.
In addition, in an embodiment, the present invention can be implemented as a play module of an application program or of a machine-readable medium. When the user selects a media file in the application program, he/she can trigger the application program to call the play module by clicking "play" button with the mouse to execute the play function provided by the present invention.
In another embodiment, the present invention can be further implemented as a remote player program, the user can call the remote player program to play a media file after he/she chooses to open the media file through the control program on an electronic product such as a local computer, a pocket PC, or a PDA, etc. The transmission of command or data between two computing devices is made possible via the Bluetooth or WiFi or 802.11 protocal.
In view of the foregoing, according to the method for integrating the user interfaces of multimedia files in the present invention, only one media player program is needed to play and edit media files because multimedia files such as audio, video, and picture files are supported simultaneously,. In addition, different user interfaces are designed corresponding to different media files and a switch key is provided to change the user interface corresponding to the media file desired to operate. Therefore, the purpose of playing and editing different media files simultaneously is achieved.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.

Q: Combination aggregations in Pandas I have data in this format
ID Val
1 A
1 B
1 C
2 A
2 C
2 D

I want to group by data at each ID and see combinations that exist and sum the multiple combinations up. The resulting output should look like
v1 v2 count
A B 1
A C 2
A D 1
B C 1
C D 1

Is there a smart way to get this instead of looping through each possible combinations?

A: this should work:
>>> ts = df.groupby('Val')['ID'].aggregate(lambda ts: set(ts))
>>> ts
Val
A      set([1, 2])
B         set([1])
C      set([1, 2])
D         set([2])
Name: ID, dtype: object
>>> from itertools import product
>>> pd.DataFrame([[i, j, len(ts[i] & ts[j])] for i, j in product(ts.index, ts.index) if i < j],
...              columns=['v1', 'v2', 'count'])
  v1 v2  count
0  A  B      1
1  A  C      2
2  A  D      1
3  B  C      1
4  B  D      0
5  C  D      1

A: What I came up with:

*

*Use pd.merge to create the cartesian product

*Filter the cartesian product to include only combinations of the form that you desire

*Count the number of combinations

*Convert to the desired dataframe format

Unsure if it is faster than looping through all possible combinations.

Q: Use foundation with existing styles I have an existing legacy application. We are now planning to use Foundation and rewrite just the top bar on every page. But when I include foundation css file into the project it breaks all the existing layout due to it's css.
One approach I was thinking is to modify foundation.css to append on a custom class to all it's selectors: Eg:
h1{}
becomes
h1.customclass{}
But I feel that this may not work since foundation js might be adding on styles internally.
Would appreciate insight into this. Also, is there any solution to the problem of using zurb foundation with an existing application with existing styles?
UPDATE:
Finally chanced upon a solution that works: in the foundation sass files set
include-html-classes to false to not include all foundation css classes. Then it can be selectively set to true for components which you require them for like example: for tables:
$include-html-table-classes: true;
This can allow you to not break your existing styles and selectively use foundation. Also, mixins can be used to customize even further. Eg: You can create a custom button-foundation class that is a mixin to the foundation button class and then use your custom class on buttons that you want to have foundation styles. This will not break your existing buttons.

A: Foundation is generally used for rapid prototyping at the start of projects and including it in an already mature project will cause a lot of headaches. Personally, I would just write my own or find an alternative stand alone component:

*

*http://exisweb.net/incredibly-useful-list-of-responsive-navigation-and-menu-patterns

*http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/a-simple-responsive-mobile-first-navigation--webdesign-6074

A: You can modify Foundation using CSS preprocessors using SASS or Bootstrap using LESS but, if you want to remove most components using a CSS framework  loses it purpose. They include a normalize CSS component that affects all elements on DOM, even is this ones doens't have classes so even if you add different classes to all elements this would still change some parts of your CSS. Best advice here is to write your own CSS or just use other standalone components.

Bit of a bumpy trip out toward Hein Bank, where orcas from all three pods foraging as they headed southeast across a strong flooding current, from about 1:20pm to 2pm. Multiple breaches, a cartwheel, and a 2 second headstand (flukes held in the air), by some of the youngsters distracted us from the confused seas! Our trip back up San Juan Channel revealed the cornucopia of wildlife with sightings of at least 20 Steller Sea Lions on Whale Rocks, Harbor Seals, Harbor Porpoise, and a Bald Eagle on Turn Island!

Introducing: NINJA PLUS – Full CPA Review Video Course
By Jeff September 6, 2016
Dear NINJAs,
We have a new addition to the NINJA Family – and we're calling it NINJA PLUS.
A little backstory…
Back in the day – when I was studying for the CPA Exam (and we walked up hill both ways in the snow to the prometric testing center…all of that…), the CPA Review landscape looked a lot different than it does now.
There were what I would call "The Big 4" of CPA Review courses…and one of those courses was Bisk CPA Review.
It had been around forever and had the legendary instructor Bob Monette.
I personally used Bob Monette's AUD Videos to pass Auditing in two weeks…because, as I was prone to do at the time, I waited until the last moment to start studying.
I scored a 79…which didn't quite qualify me for the EWS Award, but it isn't bad for two weeks of studying.
In 2013, Thomson Reuters acquired Bisk Education and included in that sale was the Bisk CPA Review Course.
In August 2016, NINJA CPA Review purchased the CPA Review assets from Thomson Reuters.
Included in the acquisition is this treasure trove of CPA Review videos.
Amazingly – most of the information is still current and relevant for the CPA Exam.
Sure, some regs get passed or some laws get tweaked, but CPA Exam concepts are generally timeless.
As we identify some things here and there that need an update (Extraordinary Items in FAR, for instance), we'll post it with the videos.
For now – I want to put these videos in your hands so that you can be off and running with studying.
In its prime, I believe this course retailed for $1,900+.
I am making it available to NINJAs for only $97 per section for 3 months of access.
It's similar to the MCQ Access…3 months of access (essentially, 1 testing window).
If you need more time – you can always purchase more time.
Who are these videos for?
NINJAs who already have a video course and want a CRAM? Yes.
NINJAs who don't have lecture videos and want a study boost? Yes.
In short, they are thorough enough to be a standalone video course but concise enough to be a CRAM.
NINJA PLUS Running Times:
FAR is 27 Hours – you can get through it as a last review in a week
BEC is 16 Hours – you can get through them in a (long) weekend
REG is 13 Hours – you can also get through them in a weekend
AUD is 9 Hours – you can get through them in a Saturday
Who are these videos not for?
– Non-NINJAs. These videos are available to NINJA Customers only.
(you must have previously purchased NINJA MCQ, Notes, Books, Audio, or a Ten Point Combo to be eligible to purchase – or at least add another NINJA product for the same CPA Exam section at checkout)
Try NINJA PLUS (and take good notes) 🙂
NINJA Survey Feedback on these Videos:
"I absolutely love Ninja Plus. I re-read and re-watched the (expensive review course) materials related to bonds and pensions, but simply could not get it. That is until I used Ninja Plus – I'm now rocking these two issues after watching the videos only once."
"Straightforward. Good review videos."
"I think the FAR lectures are clearly articulated, and I think Bob is an excellent lecturer."
"I really like the videos, I feel like they explain the material in a way that is easier to comprehend than (expensive course) videos."
"I like that the videos explains through examples because it makes it easier to understand."
"I thought the videos were very good and provided detailed explanations."
"I really like it. Short lessons that get right to the point and make sense. I find them very helpful."
"Great videos – very helpful."
"Great resource. Very helpful."
"Very clear, best I've heard."
"Overall, I think these are good lectures."
"I thought the videos are useful and have a lot of information."
"The videos are very detailed, but also straight forward to understand."
If you're looking for an affordable, but legit video course – then NINJA PLUS, is for you.
NINJA PLUS is part of the Ten Point Combo (1 Year Access) and can be purchased standalone (3 Mo. Access). HIYA!!!
megdenniston22 4 years ago
Hi there! I'm confused about all of the different products. For example, is Ninja MCQ integrated with any other products like Ninja plus, or are they all stand alone products?

Is Your Honey for Real?
by Berkeley Wellness
If it looks and tastes like honey, is it really honey? Maybe not 100%. Due to increased demand and decreasing production (fallout from widespread bee-colony collapses), honey has become an even pricier commodity in recent years. It's no wonder then that there are unscrupulous suppliers who cut their honey with cheaper sweeteners like corn syrup—what the industry calls "funny honey."
The FDA has no standard of identity for honey as it does for maple syrup and many other foods, but rather has issued draft guidelines whereby a product can be called "honey" only if honey is the sole ingredient; if other ingredients are added, the label must indicate that (such as a "blend of honey and sugar"). Products in violation would then be considered misbranded and presumably subject to FDA enforcement action.
But adulterated honey still makes its way to market, notably from imported sources. And because Americans consume more than 400 million pounds a year of honey but produce only 150 million pounds, most honey sold in the U.S. is imported. Honey from China, in particular, has a bad track record: Besides reports that it is often mixed with cheap fillers, it has been flagged for containing residues of antibiotics. The U.S. imposes high "anti-dumping" tariffs on Chinese honey, which means you likely won't encounter honey that lists China as the country of origin. The problem is that honey originating in China is still landing here, funneled through other countries, where it is relabeled for export to the U.S.
To make sure you're buying real honey:
Check labels to make sure the honey has no other ingredients and is not, for instance, "honey-flavored" corn syrup. (This doesn't have much of a health implication, however, since real honey is also just a source of sugar.)
Honey that contains pollen may be a better bet since when honey is filtered to remove the pollen, its origin cannot be traced. This is legal but may raise some questions about authenticity.
Look for the True Source Certified logo, which means the honey (whether domestic or imported) meets certain standards, including traceability, as verified by an independent third party. Though True Source is a self-regulating industry group, its goal is to "support legal, transparent and ethical sourcing" in order to preserve the quality of honey and its "golden reputation." Some U.S. retailers, including Costco, sell certified honey.
Locally sourced honey and honey from small companies are generally less likely to be adulterated than mass-produced honey.

End-user perspective on small office tools & technology
Telepresence In The Home: Who's On First?
Cisco today introduced umi, it's effort to bring telepresence from the board room into the living rooms of the world. Umi (pronounced like "you me") attaches to an existing HDTV via an HDMI connection and is said to support HD video calling.
Depending upon your available bandwidth umi can provide 720p or 1080i video streams. They quote 720p as requiring 1.5 mbps in each direction, while 1080 requires 3.5 mbps. Those numbers suggest the umi is not supporting the H.264 High Profile compression profile that Polycom has used on their systems. H.264 High Profile makes more efficient use of bandwidth, according to Polycom it's bandwidth requirements are as little as half that of competitive systems.
Cisco is partnering with Verizon as a provider of bandwidth (FiOS) and Best Buy as a retailer. Given that Verizon doesn't offer FiOS everywhere some people will doubtless be bandwidth constrained relative to umi's capabilities.
Here in Houston FiOS is not offered, and our Comcast Business Premium Class access at $99/mo is running 22 mbps x 2 mbps, implying that we'd not be able to sustain a 1080 call using umi. Comcast's DOCSIS 3.0 service is offered here, providing 50/10 service…but at a price ($190/mo) that most residential users would probably not want to pay.
Umi itself costs $599 plus $25/mo for the video calling service. Cisco must be running or contracting some kind of directory service. Rumor has it that umi is Google Video Chat compatible, which suggests there is a foundation of open protocols underlying the service. But then again, Cisco is known for using proprietary protocols… so we'll just have to wait and see.
Reconsidering the matter of bandwidth…why would Cisco be pushing umi anyway? They seek to promote that households continue to consume ever greater amounts of bits, pressuring service providers upgrade their infrastructure with the very latest of Cisco's fat pipes. The question is how to they accelerate the process while keeping end-user costs reasonable?
Of course, Cisco is not alone in this space. Logitech announced their Revue as a Google TV companion box some time ago. It now turns out that Revue is capable of video chat. Revue might be cheaper than the Cisco offering. Logitech certainly has the experience in consumer electronics space, whereas Cisco is a relatively new player in that arena.
As the GigaOm/NewTeeVee post points out Skype is also at play here, offering an embedded Skype client in some high-end LCD TVs from LG, Panasonic and Samsung. However, these models are priced at a premium over their more run-of-the-mill bretheren. They tend to be in the $2800 range for a 42″ set offering a number of features like 3D stereoscopic TV. In fact, the embedded Skype client seems to be one of the less emphasized features of these sets. This suggests to me that Skype embedded in HDTVs is not likely to be widespread, at least not until it's supported on HDTVs at the more popular price points around $1k-1k5.
But Skype may yet get some traction in the living room if InStore Solutions delivers the goods with their Freetalk Crystal product. As described by Thomas Howe, CTO of ISS, on the VUC call Aug 13th 2010, Crystal involves a set-top-box and a mic/camera module.
Reading between the lines I would suspect that Polycom has something to offer relating to home based tele-presence. But being Polycom they're pretty hush-hush about undeliverables. It doesn't help that I'm not under NDA, but then that's probably because they don't see any reason to offer me an NDA.
It would not surprise me in the least if Apple came to play at this party. Their AppleTV offering seems like an under-achiever thus far, but its new platform combined with FaceTime might just give it a bit of a boost.
I still feel that the one party that's yet to appreciate how they might yet find a significant role to play in the is new game is Tivo. All of these new players, from Boxee to Cisco, Logitech and even Polycom are entering into what is for them a new arena. In the living room, den or home theater Tivo is already the dominant DVR…and one that's well worth paying for. They've managed to get some traction in streaming movies and TV from the like of Amazon Unboxed, Netflix and Cinema Now. They're at worst a good partner for someone with aspirations in this area.
In drawing to a close I'd like to invoke the spirit of The Food Network star Alton Brown, a man who plainly hates uni-taskers. The winner in this battle royale for the living room is not going to be a uni-tasker. It will be the device the presents the best combination of functions and so offers the best value. It will be the device that succeeds where all prior attempts at home theater PCs have failed.
Like JVC's VHS to Sony's Betamax, the winner may not be the technical champ, but it will the more practical and functional offering. I further suspect that a willingness to be "open" and extensible will play a part in defining that functionality.
Finally, it seems on fitting to close by quoting Patrick McGoohan's classic 1960's TV show, "The Prisoner." Long a favorite of mine, and the only box set I own…characters in the mysterious village consistently bid farewell with the phase…"Be seeing you!" If any of the companies mentioned succeed in their efforts we all might be seeing a lot more of friends and family…on the living room TV.

Warmbowski says:
One of my first thoughts when I was watching the keynote where Jobs introduced the new Apple TV and AirPlay was, "Will a video softphone such as Bria (or IM clients like iChat even) be able to push it's output to an Apple TV via AirPlay for the sake of a video conference?". That could be a big deal in a small company that wants to use video conferencing, but doesn't want to buy an expensive dedicated system. That also means that you may be able to push your video calls from your iPad to a big screen – and that sounds really handy. I haven't really pondered the details, but could Apple TV and AirPlay and Facetime/iChat AV be positioning itself to be an inexpensive (if you already have a Mac or iOS device) and more versatile alternative to something like the Umi?
No that I think of it: I suppose that would mean that AirPlay would need to be a two way video bridge with Apple TV, and the Apple TV would need to have a camera attached to it. I suppose that since Apple TV runs iOS, that would be possible.

Two decades after the legendary Thoroughbred Man o′ War left his mark on racing history with his famous 20 victories in 21 races, the course of the Second World War was changed by the arrival of the North American P-51 Mustang in the air war over northern Europe. As Man o′ War is remembered above all the great horses that have thundered over American turf, so the mighty Mustang is celebrated as the overall finest piston-engine fighter of WWII and one of the greatest fighters of all time. How appropriately it was named for a wild steed! Perhaps no other creature on earth is endowed by God with such nobility, such proud and massive strength, such ability to stir the emotions and admiration of men as the horse. Through history the clash of arms has been accompanied by the galloping hooves of the fearless, charging warhorse. In Metamorphosis V: Man o′ War, artist Jody F. Sjogren expresses that symbolic association between the mythical winged horse and the intrepid interceptors which saved the Allied strategic bombing campaign from destruction by the Luftwaffe. This colorful P-51D was flown by fighter ace Lt. Col. Claiborne Kinnard during his command of the USAAF's 4th Fighter Group. Metamorphosis V: Man o′ War is a tribute to the P-51 Mustang and to all the brave men of war whose courage and flying skill helped bring about the Allied victory in World War II.


During installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, you can choose to configure Oracle ASM disk groups on NFS file systems on a supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) device.
NFS file systems must be mounted and available over NFS mounts before you start installation. Refer to your vendor documentation to complete NFS configuration and mounting.
Direct NFS requires hard mounts. Hard mounting NFS filers prevents corruption which could occur if the client connection were to time out. If an NFS filer hangs on an I/O operation to a mirrored file, then the database and Oracle ASM cannot failover to the surviving mirror copy. Therefore, Oracle recommends that you use external redundancy when you deploy Oracle ASM disk groups on NFS storage.
Oracle ASM Filter Driver and Oracle ACFS and Oracle ADVM are not supported with NFS. These features are incompatible because of the nature of the operating system interface for NFS-based storage.
The performance of Oracle software and databases stored on Oracle ASM disk groups on NFS depends on the performance of the network connection between the Oracle server and the NAS device. Oracle recommends that you connect the server to the NAS device using a private dedicated network connection, which should be Gigabit Ethernet or better.
You can configure Oracle ASM on NFS when you deploy an Oracle Standalone Cluster configuration.
You can specify separate NFS locations for Oracle ASM disk groups for Oracle Clusterware files and the Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR).
The user account with which you perform the installation (oracle or grid) must have write permissions to create the files in the path that you specify.
When you choose Oracle ASM on NFS, you cannot use Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) for storage. This cluster configuration cannot be used as a Rapid Home Provisioning Server.
SAN-attached storage or iSCSI-attached devices are the preferred ways to connect to quorum disks. If your standard deployment requires NFS to be used as storage, then use soft mounts for NFS-based Oracle ASM quorum disks and hard mounts for other Oracle ASM disks.
You can use Direct NFS (dNFS) for storage of Oracle Database data files. dNFS does not support soft mounts, so you cannot use dNFS for quorum failure groups. Alternatively, use kernel-based NFS with a soft mount for NFS storage residing in a quorum failure group.
The quorum failure group feature in Oracle ASM enables use of NFS storage in an Oracle ASM disk group without requiring a hard mount for NFS storage in the quorum failure group. This capability is useful for Oracle Extended Clusters where a third site is required for establishing quorum.


I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! My husband gets back tomorrow after 2 weeks away.
I can finally tag team the other parent of these li'l whippersnappers. … well, after the required jet lag is dealt with, at least…. then he's back to regular work, so i'm still solo during the day. So i guess next weekend will be the real light after he's had a week to decompress… then, perhaps, i'll get to decompress by catching up on the 2 weeks worth of laundry he'll bring back.
So scratch that, one more day until i get MORE work to do! Weeeeee!
But at least he puts out.

MMA news from around the world
Rory Mac vs Lima 2 set for October 26th
August 22, 2019 August 23, 2019 David
What began on September 29th of 2018 will likely see its end point on October 26th, 2019. Bellator's welterweight Grand Prix is coming to a close, and it's more or less doing so exactly where it started.
Back in January of 2018, Rory MacDonald defeated Douglas Lima to win the 170 lb strap. Six months later, the promotion announced plans for a 10-fighter (including 2 alternates) tournament—throughout which the welterweight title would be on the line. MacDonald made a brief jaunt to 185 – in a losing effort against then-champion Gegard Mousasi – before the whole thing kicked off, but his win over Lima was the last 170 lb bout for either man before the Grand Prix got under way.
Now they're prepared to play it back. Following a draw to Jon Fitch and a win over Neiman Gracie for MacDonald, and wins over Andrey Koreshkov and Michael Page for Lima, Bellator president Scott Coker has announced that the rematch between Lima and MacDonald will take place on October 26th—as first reported by MMA Fighting.
The two men fought to a competitive decision in their first outing. In the time since, MacDonald has raised questions about his commitment to MMA, telling fans "I don't know if I have that same drive to hurt people," even while continuing to work his way to decisions. Meanwhile, Lima has racked up a submission and a crushing KO to get back to a shot at his Canadian rival. Their first bout was close. How the second one goes? That remains to be seen.

"When I think about my history, I think of all the people and encounters that have played a determining role. Those who made me who I am, who believed in me and who played a role in boosting my career. Sometimes talent just needs a helping hand from destiny to find success" Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot and Chairman of LVMH Watch Division.
Special award recognition was given to Brynjar Sigurõarson for his work and his use of materials from his native Iceland.


Celeste is a full-coverage glitter that contains mainly greens, blues, and bronzy golds. There are a few flashes of other colors here and there, which increases its versatility. I can see using this with a beachy sandy color, either as a topper or an accent nail.
I thought I had this opaque in two, but the photo makes it clear I should have used three!

Local police say they are taking a wait-and-see attitude on new policies being used by the District Attorney's Office concerning criminal cases.
District Attorney Natasha Irving — who oversees prosecution of cases for Waldo, Knox, Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties — detailed to police departments and the judiciary how she will handle criminal cases in memos sent out last month. Irving also met last month with police chiefs and sheriffs in the four counties.
Knox County Sheriff Tim Carroll said he completely respects what the district attorney is aiming to accomplish with her policies, a philosophy with which Waldo County Sheriff Chief Deputy Jason Trundy agrees.
"In addition, Waldo County is incredibly fortunate to have so many partner organizations that are dedicated to building a stronger community," Trundy said, adding Irving has joined the Waldo County Recovery Committee.
"We believe that communication will be the key to moving forward and making progress," he said.
Carroll said he and the district attorney have similar thoughts on crimes of violence, especially on domestic violence. Irving maintains that crimes of violence will generally require incarceration or commitment in a locked mental health facility.
Both Carroll and Camden and Rockport Police Chief Randy Gagne said they have instructed officers to continue to do their jobs as trained, and to issue appropriate violations.
"The decision to issue a complaint or not on violation(s) is the decision of the district attorney," Gagne said. "…She has not asked us to do anything any different than we have done all along. I do not agree with all the changes in the new policy.
"I do, however, want to take a wait-and-see approach and give our new district attorney some time in office," he added. "I believe that we will all work together to address issues that may come up regarding the new policies changes."
Gagne declined to say what specifically he disagrees with, saying he wants to give the new policies a chance.
The new prosecution policy on dealing with OUI cases involves the use of deferred dispositions. In cases of low impairment (less than a 0.11 blood alcohol level), if a person undergoes substance abuse counseling, the case will be dismissed in six months. If the test comes in from 0.11 to as much as 0.14, there will be a 12-month deferred disposition and the charges will be reduced to the lesser offense of driving to endanger if the person undergoes substance abuse counseling and performs 40 hours of community service.
State law sets 0.08 as the limit at which a person is considered to be under the influence.
For OUI cases in which the test is 0.15 or greater and there is either an accident or a passenger younger than 21, the driver will be placed on an 18-month deferred disposition, during which time he or she must undergo substance abuse counseling and perform 60 hours of community service.
If successful, the person would be convicted of OUI with a fine of $500 and a 150-day license suspension, as well as the alternative sentencing program in which they spend a weekend performing community service work under the supervision of jail staff.
In shoplifting cases, the district attorney is also offering a change.

In April, I was invited to the opening of a new and stylish boxing club in Paris : Le Temple.
I had a strange vision then: what if Pina Bausch had made a choreography on a ring? Women, silk, leather, high heels… Such an exciting program.
Many thanks to Cyril Durand, the founder, who let us make pictures in his beautiful club. Thank you so much Stella Polaris for accepting this dancing/boxing/shooting challenge and thank you Xavier Généreux for your wonderful pictures.
I haven't seen a lot of Pina Bausch's Ballets but I must confess I am not a huge fan of them. I am sometimes a bit bored by this women-centered modern dance, such as Carolyn Carlson's Blue Lady. Mothers, lovers, independent women, suffering women, natural women… Well, well.
But, on the other side, I am also very attracted by her aesthetic : strong colors, long hair, expressionist dancers, huge movements. That is why I had these "Pina flashes" when I walked on the ring for the first time.
I could never be Pina Bausch!
Modern dance is a bit like modern art : one thinks it's an easy form of art and he coud do the same but he just can't.
We did the best we can, but I am not sure Pina would have been proud of us two.
Two girls, one ring, black underwear… What else?

Thank you for your interest. I will answer you on your email adress.

Turkey's education ministry steps back with plans to improve dormitory conditions
BİRGÜN DAİLY 12.07.2017 13:54
ÇAĞLAR BALLIKTAŞ
Following a deadly fire at a dormitory in Turkey's Adana province, where 11 children and a staff member lost their lives back in 29 November 2016, a new bill had been approved, in February 2017, to improve the health and safety conditions at private dormitories operating to host school-aged children.
As a result of pressure and objection from owners of dormitories, however, the Ministry of National Education has changed the newly adopted regulations and postponed its date of application to 1 August 2019.
The new standards established for opening and operating private dormitories and hostels were restricted just in a matter of a month after their creation. The previously approved improvements involved sizes of rooms and their windows; the height of the rooms; water tanks; and width of the stairs.
While the new adjustments made by the ministry with regards to these improvements were in line completely with the requests of the business owners, the obligation to have a health room, a safety area, a visitor's room, and a room for recreational activities in all dormitory buildings was also lifted from the list of new improvements.
According to latest changes, the window size of a room can be as little as 5% of the area; and, 3 students can stay in a 35 meter square room. While the previous regulation made it mandatory to make the rooms' ceiling at least 2.5 meters above the floor, the ministry lowered that to 2.2 meters. The spare water tank capacity had previously been determined as to be minimum 30 liters. That has also been dropped down to 20 liters. The stair width, on the other hand, can be as narrow as 0.9 meters, according to latest changes. Libraries, on the other hand, will be as small as 10 meter square.
When announcing the changes and its postponed date of enforcement, the Ministry of National Education openly mentioned that the decision has been taken with the request of dormitory owners, who claimed that they needed more time to make the necessary adjustments.

You've got a special responsibility as a maid of honor. You have to host several mind-numbing bridesmaids' parties. You have to drag yourself and a drunken bride through several late-night parties, dinners and meetings with the relatives. You can't shirk, the wedding is coming up and everyone's counting on you to get the bride to the altar in a reasonably coherent state. It's an honor to be chosen and you better be grateful or Bridezilla will get you. Wear this tee when you get a few moments to escape the madness.


On September 22nd, Xiaomi has a press conference scheduled to take place in Beijing, where it's said to release the brand new phone Xiaomi Mi 4c. That model has been rumored to be a derived version of the Xiaomi Mi 4i, released in India a few months ago, but some say we may get some upgrades. For example an USB Type C port may be in the mix.
Confirmed by one of Xiaomi's main men, the port makes this the first device with this type of connectivity in the mix. Xiaomi will also bundle adapters and accessories to turn the USB Type C connectivity into microUSB without a hassle. In case you didn't know, the newcomer will keep the overall design format of the Mi 4i and it will come with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, or 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage in another version.
The first model is rumored to cost $235, while the better specced one will go into the $250-$260 range. Mi 4c is also expected to keep the 5 inch Full HD screen of the Mi 4i, plus it gets a Snapdragon 808 CPU this time, Android 5.1.1 with MIUI 7 on top and dual SIM slots. At the back there should be a 13 megapixel camera, while upfront there's a 5 MP shooter.
The battery is a 3080 mAh unit.


Not all babies are born equal in the social media stakes. Celebrity babies are often globally-known before they've emerged from the womb and some celebs go that one step further, giving their newborns the gift of their very own Instagram account.
These babies are well and truly future-proofed, with their very own custom Instagram handles for all eternity. Their famous parents post to the accounts in a variety of ways, often showing off sumptuous lifestyles we couldn't even imagine living ourselves.
Here are the top celebrity babies with their own Instagram accounts.
This is the tot who received a $100k diamond-encrusted watch for his first birthday. The toddler son of music producer DJ Khaled, there has never been a day in his life he hasn't been in the spotlight.

Boomer is the son of US swimming olympian Michael Phelps and his cute antics are documented and posted by mum Nicole Johnson, who is pregnant with the couple's second child. We wonder if the second bub will have their own account or if she'll let the newbie edge in on Boomer's.

Anti-corruption line:
Since the Republic of Moldova gained independence, it was necessary to create an institution with a legal framework in the field of IP.
Thus, on 25 November 1991, the first President of the Republic of Moldova Mircea Snegur signs the Decree No. 238 on the State Agency for Copyright (ADA) to ensure the protection and legal interests of authors of literary, scientific, artistic works including the related rights under the Government.
In the same context, on 25 May 1992 by Presidential Decree no.120 the State Agency on the Protection of Industrial Property(AGEPI) was established under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Moldova, whose main objective was to protect legally the industrial property in the Republic of Moldova. In 1995, under article 37 of the Law no.461 / 18.05.1995 AGEPI obtained the status of a state enterprise subordinated to the Government by GD no.743 of 31.12.1996.
According to Government Decision No. 595 of 8 September 1992 on the Approval of the Regulation of the State Agency on Industrial Property Protection of the Republic of Moldova the list of staff positions was approved and from that date the Agency started operating.
In 2004, on September 13, under the Code on science and innovation, there takes place the merger between the 2 agencies ADA and AGEPI and the statute and structure of the State Agency on Intellectual Property is approved – AGEPI continues to be subordinated to the Government.
Ten years later, on 3 July 2014, the Parliament adopted the Law on the State Agency on Intellectual Property which implies changing the statute of the Agency from state institution into public institution, remaining subordinated to the Government.
Over time there were approved a series of laws in the field of legal protection of intellectual property, the first being Law no. 588-XIII of 22.09.1995 on products` trademarks and appellations of origin; Law no. 461-XIII of 18.05.1995 on patents; Law no. 915-XIII of 11.07.1996 on the protection of plant varieties; Law no. 991-XIII of 15.10.1996 on the protection of industrial designs; Law no. 293-XIII of 23.11.1994 on copyright and related rights.
In 2008, due to the development of the national IP system and the tendency to bring the system closer to the European standards there were adopted a series of amended / supplemented laws according to the new trends. We are talking about the laws on the protection of trademarks (no. 38-XVI), plant varieties (39-XVI), inventions (no. 50-XVI), geographical indications, appellations of origin and traditional specialties guaranteed (no.66- XVI); and on 2 July 2010 there was adopted the Law No.139 on Copyright and Related Rights.
The National Commission on Intellectual Property (hereinafter - Commission) is an advisory body under the Government and is established to coordinate and ensure interaction between ministries and other central administrative authorities as well as holders of intellectual property rights in the activities aimed at developing and strengthening the national system of intellectual property, combating and preventing infringements of intellectual property rights and fighting counterfeiting and piracy in the Republic of Moldova.
In 2011, on May 12, the National Commission on Intellectual Property (NCIP) adopts the structure of the new National Intellectual Property Strategy until 2020, then in 2012 the Government endorses the Strategy.
Beginning with the year 1993, AGEPI initiates work internationally and thereby, on March 11 the Decision on the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property as well as the Agreement on Measures Concerning the Protection of Industrial Property are adopted. *
* Some conventions, treaties, agreements until the proclamation of independence remained in force, being later approved by the Parliament.
In the same vein, on March 12, 1993 the Agreement on Measures Concerning the Protection of Industrial Property and the establishment of the Interstate Council on Industrial Property Protection (CIS) are signed. In late 1993 the President of the Republic of Moldova signs the Decree on accession to the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs; the Nairobi Treaty on the Protection of the Olympic Symbol and the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure.
In 1995, on June 22 the International Convention for the Protection of the Rights of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (Rome, 1961) as well as the Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne 1886) are ratified.
On September 22, the same year (1995), the Parliament ratifies the Trademark Law Treaty (Geneva) and the Eurasian Patent Convention (Moscow).
In 1995, on March 13 AGEPI signs the Cooperation Agreement with the European Patent Office (EPO) and in February 1996 the Republic of Moldova becomes a member of the Eurasian Patent Convention. In 1997 Moldova decides to accede to the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV - International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants). In 2000 Moldova accedes to the Madrid Agreement for the Repression of False or Deceptive Indications of Source on Goods and the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration. In the following year it accedes to the World Trade Organization and implicitly to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs).
In the context of approximating the national IP system to the European standards, on 26 June 2012, the Republic of Moldova and the European Union sign in Brussels the Agreement on the Protection of Geographical Indications (GIs) for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs providing for the recognition of Moldovan products with GI and AO on the European market .
In the same year, on 22-23 October, during a visit of the WIPO Director General, Francis Gurry, to Chisinau the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the World Intellectual Property Organization on cooperation in the field of IP is signed.
Nationally, on February 4, 2005 AGEPI signs with the Academy of Sciences of Moldova the Cooperation Agreement on the Promotion and Protection of Intellectual Property and in the following years similar agreements are signed with the Union of Composers and Musicologists, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and BSA, the Broadcasting Coordinating Council etc.
Among the most significant initiations that marked the activity of AGEPI the following can be mentioned:
Recording of the first patent application on 26 January 1993 (invention "Soft Drink" claimed by Matveenco Mihail);
Registration by the AGEPI of the first patent attorneys (representatives in intellectual property) of the Republic of Moldova (April 24);
Appearance of the first issue of the Official Bulletin of Industrial Property (BOPI) on October 30, 1993;
Issuance of the Trademark Registration Certificate No.1 on February 4, 1994 (Integrated Works of Synthetic Leather and Rubber Articles from Chisinau);
Issuance of Patent No.1 of the Republic of Moldova on May 12, 1994 ( to ensure protection for the manufacturing Process of food additives from vegetal raw material);
Issuance of the Industrial Design Registration Certificate No.1 on January 31, 1995 ( Furniture Factory "Viitorul");
Issuance of the Utility Model Registration Certificate No.1 on April 30, 1995 ( owner – Emanuil Mitnic);
Conduct of the first Symposium "AGEPI Readings", which later becomes an international symposium and is organized every year - October 24, 1997;

Nine Elms sport and play areas – your feedback
2021 may have begun in lockdown but there are lots of things to look forward to this year.
Nine Elms will receive a breath of fresh air with the improvement of outdoor areas in Patmore Estate, Savona Estate and at the Yvonne Carr Centre.
Each outdoor area will allow for play, recreation and exercise, open for residents from the three local estates and the neighbourhood to use, creating a sport and play trail for all.
Following requests from residents, play equipment will be available for toddlers and ages up to 14+, including table tennis for all ages and sports equipment with a focus on cardio and resistance training.
The improvements are part of Wandsworth Council's investment in local spaces and infrastructure in Nine Elms, using funding from nearby developments.
Last November, the council asked residents what they thought of the proposed designs for each outdoor area after gathering initial feedback on the improvements that they would like to see.
This was to better understand the needs and concerns of people who lived nearby before developing the final designs.
Listening to you
All feedback has been really important and has helped to shape the designs to accommodate the views of everyone in the community.
From the recent survey, we found that most residents are in favour of the proposals. Residents rated the proposals as 'good' or 'very good' with no negative ratings and 73 per cent said they would use the sport and play facilities.
We heard that your main concerns were:
Worries that antisocial behaviour may increase
That the refurbished areas wouldn't be respected
Sport and play equipment would be too close to your home
Trees may be removed.
Here's how Wandsworth Council is going to tackle your concerns
Antisocial behaviour
CCTV monitoring of play areas will be carried out before and after installation. CCTV is already in place, meaning the council can capture any antisocial behaviour as it arises, to help you feel safer.
There are planned additional community support officer patrols once the new play areas are in place, to help highlight any potential issues and to intervene if needed.
Respecting the space
Signage: anyone who uses the outdoor sport and play areas will know that the areas have been designed with, and for, the local community, and signs will ask that the newly refurbished play areas are respected. Additionally, we are looking to make better use of CCTV monitoring in the sport and play areas to ensure improved coverage.
The materials used for the new facilities will be carefully chosen, requiring less maintenance so it will look good for many years to come – and the whole community will be encouraged to respect the new equipment.
Equipment too close to your home
The sport and play improvements are located within established and existing recreation areas to ensure the facilities are easily accessible and can be enjoyed by everyone.
Removal of trees
The council has no plans to remove any trees from the area, in fact we're going to introduce even more plants to attract wildlife and provide lovely summer scents.
Every area on the sport and play trail will include soft landscaping such as plants, grass and trees. Patmore Estate and the Yvonne Carr Centre areas will have a greater focus on sensory planting. Not only will this be good for the environment – it's going to look great too!
Wandsworth Council are finalising the designs and, subject to planning, the improvements will start in the autumn and expected to be completed by spring 2022.
The council will keep you updated on progress via local forums such as the community and engagement advisory meetings.
Thank you to everyone involved so far for telling us what you think. We will continue to work with the Nine Elms community to make these areas fun, relaxing and safe places for everyone to enjoy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email us on info@nineelmsonthesouthbank.com and we'll get back to you.

Obec Dobrohošť (německy Dobrohost, Doberholtz) se nachází v okrese Jindřichův Hradec v Jihočeském kraji. Leží 4 km východně od Dačic. Žije zde  obyvatel.

Ves je schovaná v údolí Dobrohošťského potoka, který se v sousedním Bílkově vlévá do Vápovky. Ve 14. století ležela ves v těsné blízkosti mezi hrady Bílkov a Krumvald. Západně od vsi je z kopce Stařeček, 542 m n. m., rozsáhlý výhled na Dačickou kotlinu s městem Dačice. Na severu Na Čihadle je nejvyšší místo katastrálního území Dobrohošť, 587 m n. m. a na jihovýchod největší rybník zvaný Zádušák. Z celkové výměry 338 ha tvoří polovinu les. Obec má 16 čísel popisných (1-18, mimo 2 a 6).

Historie
Ves Dobrohošť je poprvé zmiňována v pramenech k roku 1399, kdy ji Heřman z Hradce prodal s bílkovským zbožím Janovi z Kravař. Od počátků své historické existence tak Dobrohošť těsné souvisela s vedlejším Bílkovem, jako součást bílkovského statku. S tím se také měnili majitelé, kterými byli od roku 1404 páni z Hradce až do zničení bílkovského hradu v roce 1444, v roce 1459 se ves dostala spolu s celým bílkovským zbožím do vlastnictví Krajířů z Krajku, kde setrvala celé 16. století. Od roku 1610 pak již sdílela osudy dačického panství až do zrušení patrimoniální správy v roce 1849. Východně 2 km od Dobrohoště stával v lese hrad Krumvald.

Podle vceňovacího operátu žilo v roce 1843 v Dobrohošti 82 obyvatel, z toho 39 mužů a 43 žen ve 14 domech a 15 domácnostech. Z nich se živilo 7 obyvatel zemědělstvím a 8 bylo nádeníků. Desátky byly odváděny panství Dačice. Z Dobrohošté se jezdilo na týdenní sobotní trhy do Dačic.

Správní začlenění obce od roku 1850
Do roku 1849 byla Dobrohošť součástí panství Dačice v Jihlavském kraji. V letech 1850 až 1855 byla podřízena pravomoci Podkrajského úřadu v Dačicích. Po zřízení smíšených okresních úřadů s politickou a soudní pravomocí byla v letech 1855 až 1868 podřízena Okresnímu úřadu v Dačicích. Když byly roku 1868 veřejná správa a soudnictví opět odděleny, vrátila se pod politickou pravomoc Okresního hejtmanství v Dačicích, od roku 1919 okresní správy politické a od roku 1928 okresního úřadu tamtéž až do roku 1945.

Po osvobození v květnu 1945 náležela pod Okresní národní výbor v Dačicích a v jeho rámci od roku 1949 pod nově vzniklý jihlavský kraj. Toto začlenění trvalo až do poloviny roku 1960, kdy byla Dobrohošť po územní reorganizaci s moravským Dačickem začleněna pod správní okres Jindřichův Hradec a Jihočeský kraj, což trvalo až do zrušení Okresního úřadu v Jindřichově Hradci koncem roku 2002. V roce 1960 byla Dobrohošť v rámci integrace obcí sloučena s obcí Bílkovem a v roce 1980 byla s Bílkovem sloučena s Dačicemi. V roce 1990 se opět osamostatnila. Od roku 2003 spadá pod pověřený městský úřad v Dačicích v samosprávném Jihočeském kraji.
