Q: Error when renewing Microsoft Graph Subscription I have this project in which I need to have a subscription to a specific calendar. This is done, no issue here.
In order to keep the subscription alive, I have a mechanism that runs a script once per day, which renews that specific subscription by giving it an expiration date that is two days after. It works fine, most of the time.
The issue is that, twice now, the first time in March and the last time earlier this week, the subscription has not been successfully renewed, and I get this error response:
{
  "error": {
    "code": "ExtensionError",
    "message": "Operation: Update; Exception: [Status Code: NotFound; Reason: The subscription with Id 'M0M5MUUwODEtQkQ5RS00OTlCLTkxNjMtNDdDRUYxODhDMjI5XzEzMjQ0RjZDLUMwRTEtNDg3RC1CQUQ4LThDOEFFNzXXXkNDNQ==' is not found.]",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id": "b1f7af53-XXXX-XXXX-b38e-750453299588",
      "date": "2019-06-01T23:30:07"
    }
  }
}

(changed a few characters just to be safe)
I am pretty sure that this problem was not originated on my end, because nothing changed there.
Upon searching for this error code, I came across similar issues (1, 2, 3), but some of them are not exactly the same, and there seems to not be any definitive explanation or response for the issue.
With all this in mind, I would like to know if someone can help me out - this is rolling in production, so it's hurting me a lot.

Advice for car sharing, more income and business support and sign up for vaccine trials
Devon County Council sent this bulletin at 20-08-2020 05:23 PM BST
We are endeavouring to bring you the latest news, information, advice and guidance during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak via this email.
You can manage your subscription preferences or unsubscribe via this link.
In this update:
Growth Support Kickstart Grant Scheme
Advice for car sharing
Second stage of Self Employment Income Support Scheme opens
Could you be Proud to Care?
GCSE results questions answered by Department for Education
Advice for travelling abroad
Self-isolation period extended to 10 days
Stronger enforcement measures
Do you want to take part in vaccine trials?
What you can do to help stop the spread
Small businesses and the tourism sector across Devon, Plymouth, Somerset and Torbay will be able to apply for grants of up to £3,000 through the Growth Support Kickstart Grant Scheme.
The Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (HotSW LEP) has been awarded a £771,164 share of government funding to help with the economic recovery in the region.
The aim of the fund is to support as many businesses as possible, with grants being issued on a first come first served basis through the completion of a simple application form.
It is hoped the fund will be open for applications before the end of the month. In the meantime, to help businesses prepare, an 'Information and Guidance' document and FAQs have been published on the South West Local Enterprise Partnership's Kickstart grant website and businesses are encouraged to read this.
The funding is due to be administered by The European Regional Development Funded (ERDF) Heart of the South West Growth Support Programme.
You can read the full story on our website.
Car sharers advised to take precautions
Our Deputy Director of Public Health has issued guidance to commuters and other car sharers as they head back to work or are out and about.
The best travel options are walking and cycling, rather than sitting in an enclosed space with other people, but if you do need to drive or share a lift with people from other households, please take some sensible precautions:
share the transport with the same people each time
keep to small groups of people at any one time
everyone in the car should wear face coverings
try to keep as much distance as possible between each other
travel side by side or behind other people where possible, and try not to face them
open windows to allow air to circulate
everyone should remember to wash their hands properly before and after their journey.
The second stage of the government's Self Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) opened for applications earlier this week.
Anyone whose self-employed business has been adversely affected by coronavirus since 14 July is eligible for the scheme and will be able to claim a second payment of up to £6,570.
More information, including how to apply, is available on the government website.
Could you be 'Proud to Care' for Devon?
Congratulations to everyone who got their GCSE results today!
If you're wondering what to do next, how about a career in health and social care?
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the importance of health and social care workers more than ever, but certain sectors are experiencing workforce shortages.
We've joined forces with NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to launch a new 'Proud to Care Devon' campaign to encourage young people to consider roles in health and social care.
Find out about possible careers in Devon on our Proud to Care Devon website.
GCSE results: your questions answered
Thousands of students across Devon got their GCSE results today - it's been a particularly challenging year learning remotely over the last few months so you should all be proud of yourselves - well done!
The government's Department for Education has published a special blog on their website to answer some key questions.
Coronavirus is most infectious just before and for the first few days after symptoms begin, so it's very important that if you develop symptoms you self-isolate and get a free test immediately.
The self-isolation period has been extended from 7 days to 10 days for those with coronavirus symptoms or who have tested positive for coronavirus.
If you've been in close contact with someone who tested positive you must self-isolate for 14 days
If you or someone you live with has coronavirus symptoms get a free test immediately.
With the summer holidays now in full swing, many of us will be travelling abroad for our break. You can stay up-to-date with the latest government news on travel corridors (this is the list of countries and territories you can travel to from England and may not have to self-isolate) on the government website, as well as sign up for email updates.
There is also lots of information on the website about how to self-isolate if you need to when you return.
Do you need support?
If you need support because of the coronavirus pandemic, for example, you're out of work, you need food or you want to take care of your mental health, log on to the government's website to find out what help and advice you can get from the government and other organisations. You can use it for yourself or someone else.
You can find support with:
what to do if you're feeling unsafe where you live, or if you're worried about someone else
paying bills, rent, or your mortgage
getting food
being made redundant or unemployed, or not having any work
what to do if you're worried about going in to work
having somewhere to live
mental health and wellbeing, including information for children.
The government has announced a series of tough new enforcement measures targeting the most serious breaches of social distancing restrictions.
In the coming weeks, fines for repeatedly not wearing face coverings where mandated will be significantly increased. The fines will double at each offence, up to a maximum value of £3,200. The guidance on face coverings has been updated to reflect this.
On the spot fines for hosting or facilitating illegal gatherings of more than 30 people will also be introduced. The guidance for the public on meeting people outside of their household has been updated in line with this announcement.
Don't get caught out, make sure you understand what you can and can't do and what restrictions are in place to help stop the spread of coronavirus and keep everyone safe. Keep up to date with the government's FAQs on their website.
Sign up to take part in vaccine trials
The government is encouraging more people to join the thousands of volunteers and sign up to the NHS COVID-19 Vaccine Research Registry.
Over 100,000 people have volunteered so far to take part in COVID-19 vaccine trials, helping to speed up efforts to discover a safe and effective vaccine.
To enable large-scale vaccine studies to take place across the UK, the aim is to get as many people as possible signed up to the registry by October.
You can sign up via the NHS website.
We all have a role to play in reducing the transmission of coronavirus, especially as the number of cases of coronavirus is still very low in Devon, and we want to keep it that way.
The government has published a useful guide to what actions you can take to reduce your chance of catching coronavirus or passing it on to others.
It includes advice on social distancing, hand washing and wearing a face covering.
They're asking everyone to read it and think about each point carefully and plan how you will follow this guidance in your daily life. You can find the guidance on the government's website.
Doctors welcome COVID-friendly cancer treatments
Doctors in Devon have welcomed the announcement this week that 'COVID-friendly' cancer treatments will be expanded and extended through a £160 million initiative.
The funding will pay for drugs that treat patients without having such a big impact on their immune system or offer other benefits such as fewer hospital visits.
You can read the full story on the NHS website.
Antibody testing programme publishes results
New research suggests that 6% of the population in England (that's around 3.4 million people) have been infected with coronavirus.
Over 100,000 volunteers have taken part in the world's largest home antibody testing programme for coronavirus, which tracked the spread of infection across England following the first peak of the pandemic.
Those taking part tested themselves at home using a finger prick test between 20 June and 13 July to check if they have antibodies against the virus which causes COVID-19.
You can read more about the study and the results on the government's website.
Share your experience of Lockdown Blues
You're invited to share your experiences of the isolating impact of the coronavirus pandemic as part of a major new project designed to collect stories of loneliness and community.
The Lockdown Blues is an online scrapbook for anyone who wants to contribute their thoughts, feelings, or reflections on loneliness in any format – whether through poems, songs, paintings, stories, sketches, videos, letters or a few brief notes.
It has been designed by three researchers at the University of Exeter to promote empathy and creativity, with the hope that reading, writing, and creating may help visitors to the website feel less alone. It will also act as a public record, so that people's experiences of difficulty during this important time aren't forgotten or overlooked.
Anyone can easily submit their contributions and share their thoughts with others. Contributions can be anonymous and in any format. You can also contribute via social media using the hashtag #lonelycovid. The website also provides details of charities, services and community groups in the South West if you feel in need of support, or just want to meet new people.
Visit the Lockdown Blues website for more information.
And finally... Don't forget to check our website
As residents, businesses, visitors and communities we are in this together - we all need to keep following the guidance to help everyone stay safe and well.
Our website provides advice and support for people living in or working in Devon and our visitors. It includes:

About this comparison

                The primary goal of this project is simple

                I wanted to know which user agent parser is the most accurate in each part - device detection, bot detection and so on...

                The secondary goal is to provide a source for all user agent parsers to improve their detection based on this results.

                You can also improve this further, by suggesting ideas at ThaDafinser/UserAgentParserComparison

Andrew Vachss, an attorney in private practice specializing in juvenile justice and child abuse, is the country's best recognized and most widely sought after spokesperson on crimes against children. He is also a bestselling novelist and short story writer, whose works include Flood (1985), the novel which first introduced Vachss' series character Burke, Strega (1987), Choice of Evil (1999), and Dead and Gone (2000). His short stories have appeared in Esquire , Playboy , and The Observer , and he is a contributor to ABA Journal , Journal of Psychohistory , New England Law Review , The New York Times , and Parade . Vachss has worked as a federal investigator in sexually transmitted diseases, a caseworker in New York, and a professional organizer. He was the director of an urban migrants re-entry center in Chicago and another for ex-cons in Boston. After managing a maximum-security prison for violent juvenile offenders, he published his first book, a textbook, about the experience. He was also deeply involved in the relief effort in Biafra, now Nigeria. For ten years, Vachss' law practice combined criminal defense with child protection, until, with the success of his novels, it segued exclusively into the latter, which is his passion. Vachss calls the child protective movement "a war," and considers his writing as powerful a weapon as his litigation.

2. Diwali , or Deepavali , is a major Indian festival, celebrated by Hindus.
4. … where the "light" signifies victory of good over evil within every human being.
8. … gift each other, decorate houses with lights and rangoli patterns, and set off fireworks in the night.
9. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth is worshipped for a prosperous year ahead.
10. In India, Diwali is the most important festival of the year.


In other words, the goal was to have every thread run main_stuff(), but have additional_stuff() run after every thread has had a chance to run main_stuff().
Because the number of waiting threads is still equal to the total number of threads in the loop, it runs additional_stuff() when it shouldn't have.
In this particular case, additional_stuff() running an additional time wasn't harmful to the operation of the program, merely a performance issue. But the issue didn't even manifest until testing it on multiple different platforms.
Notice this version correctly handles this, by having the notification operation reset the variable, then waiting for every thread to catch back up. It also accounts for multiple notifications happening while one or more threads are still processing main_stuff().

Trudeau's immigration policy isn't what he says it is
Posted on February 28, 2017 at 8:00 PM
There isn't any doubt that immigration policy has been a highlight of Canadian politics - and especially for conservative leadership hopefuls.
I am writing this as a daughter of immigrants. My parents and my two older brothers were born in Italy, and it's their love of their heritage which made me proud of my Italian roots and its culture today. But in our hearts, my family is staunchly Canadian. Happily identifying as an Italian-Canadian is not a heterodox.
Nor should it be radical to identify as a Persian-Canadian, Egyptian-Canadian or Somali-Canadian. All represent proud cultures that should always be welcome into our national fabric and, as importantly, into conservative political circles.
The important modifier is the word Canadian. I believe that Canada has something very valuable to offer the rest of the world. We are rightfully proud of the society we have built founded on acceptance, tolerance, justice and opportunity. There are very few other places in the world that have Canada's track record for immigration success.
It's an inescapable fact that immigrants have built Canada into one of the world's leading economic and political powers. We are not a nation of military power. It isn't guns and bullets that makes Canada so influential. We are persuasive because other nations want what we have - wealth, trade, and influence through peaceful co-existence.
So when Conservative Party of Canada leadership hopefuls demand screening of all immigrants for (yet to be determined) "Canadian Values," let's remember that it was immigrant-values that first made Canada the greatest nation on earth.
We have a sordid history of trying to instill "Canadian Values" into other cultures. For example, there was no darker episode in our nation's history than the episode of residential schools. After decades of abuse towards thousands of First Nations children, I was proud to see a Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, accept responsibility and solemnly apologize for Canada's role in this cultural genocide.
Although I am critical of the view points of certain conservative elites on immigration, I am in fact, much more concerned about the policies of our Liberal government when it comes to accepting refugees into Canada. I worry that the Trudeau government hasn't accepted any of the lessons learned from our residential school disgrace.
Unlike immigrants, who freely choose to re-locate to another part of the world, refugees didn't actually have a choice. If not for war, famine or other political unrest, these people would be living happy, fulfilled lives in their homeland. They only arrived here to seek safety from violence, persecution and hunger.
The scourge of Euro-imperialism scarred much of the world prior to World War I. In the name of King and Empire, Europeans would seize lands in Africa, Asia and the Americas, expropriate the wealth of these areas, and impose European laws and culture over all. At the time, it was believed imperialism was a good thing for the rest of the world, because it created trade and civilization. But 120 years later, we continue to live with the wars, underdevelopment and social unrest. Many nations have not recovered their own autonomy from their colonial overlords.
120 years ago, the Euro-imperialists were looking for land, gold, minerals, and other natural resources. But today we know that a country's greatest wealth lies within its people. And in today's refugee crisis, the Trudeau government has adopted an imperialist policy towards other nation's human resource.
Undoubtedly, Canada needs immigration to grow our economy. With an aging population and a falling birth rate, immigration is vitally important. Taking advantage of the refugee crisis, Trudeau sees a an opportunity to boost immigration inflow.
According to the United Nations, the Syrian refugees that have come to Canada do not come from the refugee camps. Generally, they were living in rented apartments. This suggests that they were wealthier and better educated than refugees who were living in the refugee camps. And in a National Post article today, it was revealed via documents obtained through FOI's that "most (refugees accepted by Canada) were "self-employed businessmen and tradesmen (welders, mechanic, jewelers) with moderate to high levels of wealth" and that those coming from Damascus had "government jobs and a post-secondary education." In fact, some refugee women had the means to travel back "to give birth." http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/canada/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/documents-reveal-why-canada-rejected-dozens-of-syrian-refugee-claimants
Effectively, what Trudeau has done is selected the very best class of Syrian society, lured them to Canada with the promise of one year's living expenses and with the hope that they will permanently settle in Canada, thereby putting their education and business acumen to use here for the benefit of our economy.
By taking the upper crust of Syrian society and seeking to settle them here, we are depriving their homeland of its best and brightest people. Trudeau's refugee policy is not unlike the Euro-imperialists of the early 20th century. Canada is taking from a foreign land.
If we truly are to be truly humane, we should welcome refugees with open arms - but with one proviso - a refugee shouldn't settle in Canada permanently. Once the crisis in their homeland has ended and it's safe to return, refugees should be required to go back and rebuild their homeland. Upon returning, they will bring with them Canadian values that will help restore and build their nation with the goals of democracy, freedom and economic prosperity, foundations that will help millions in Syria. Having lived in Canada for a time, these refugees will have experienced a nation where there is no class division, no discrimination allowed, and equal opportunity for everyone who works hard to achieve their goals. Canadians of different heritage live side-by-side in peaceful co-existence. Without conflict or strife, we trade and grow our wealth. These are the kinds of values we want these refugees to instill in their nations of origin upon returning.
To rebuild Syria - once its civil war has ended and peace has been restored - it will require the skills and education of the very same people that Trudeau has targeted in his predatory refugee policy. If Trudeau succeeds in permanently settling these refugees in Canada, instead of returning them to Syria once it's safe to do so, he will deprive Syria of what it needs to rebuild after the war.
Like a lot of Canadians, I am shocked to see the Trudeau government accepting refugees from places like Minnesota and Vermont. Why would anyone need asylum from there? Or is it expedient for the government because the American refugees are easier to settle and assimilate? Do we accept refugees from Minnesota and Vermont because they help us to achieve our immigration targets?
It's becoming clear Canadians would like real answers and solutions regarding Canada's future with immigration. There's too much political hyperbole and rhetoric going on amidst a real international crisis.

Although President Barack Obama is well regarded among Native Americans, many feel that presidential candidates overpromise and underdeliver — and that the 2016 winner will be no different. Still, leaders in places like Nevada's Walker River Paiute Reservation, which had one of the highest voter turnouts in Indian Country, fight to keep the faith. In this America Tonight excerpt, Sarah Hoye sits down with tribal elders who believe in the political process even though, they say, many of the wrongs committed against Native Americans have yet to be righted.

Which Chase Ink Business Credit Card Is Right for You?
It's time to choose a new credit card for your business, but with so many options out there, how do you decide? Chase offers three self-branded, business credit cards — Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card, Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card and Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card — that could be a good fit.
Free employee cards that let you set and change individual spending limits.
Redeem cash back via a statement credit, a direct deposit to most U.S. checking and savings accounts; travel booked at the Chase Ultimate® Rewards website, on Amazon.com or for gift cards.
Perks including travel and emergency assistance services, auto rental collision damage waiver, roadside dispatch, purchase protection and an extended warranty.
If you already have the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, you can combine the rewards you earn on them with the cash back earned on the Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card or the Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card. After converting the cash back earned on those two cards into points, you can use the combined rewards to receive between 25% ( Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card) and 50% (Chase Sapphire Reserve®) more value for them when you redeem them for travel on the Chase Ultimate Rewards website.
All three cards have a broad definition of travel, including airlines, hotels, motels, timeshares, car rental agencies, cruise lines, travel agencies, discount travel sites, campgrounds and operators of passenger trains, buses, taxis, limousines, ferries, toll bridges and highways, and parking lots and garages. But in-flight goods and services, onboard cruise line goods and services, sightseeing activities, excursions, tourist attractions, merchants within hotels and airports aren't included.
None of the cards come with tools to help you manage business expenses, however, like many of their competitors.
Which card you choose depends on several factors, including the annual fee, the value of the sign-up bonus, categories that pay the highest cash back and ones with the most flexibility when it's time to redeem rewards.
We'll look at the differences between the Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card and Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card, along with features of the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card. We'll also explore what makes each of these cards worth your consideration, along with why you might pause before hitting the apply button.
Best for: A business just getting off the ground or a small company that needs a card with no annual fee, but wants decent rewards and a few perks.
Why we like it. The card has a $0 annual fee. New cardmembers earn $500 bonus cash back after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Cardholders Earn 5% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services each account anniversary year. Earn 2% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants each account anniversary year. Earn 1% cash back on all other card purchases with no limit to the amount you can earn. This card is really attractive because the cash back it offers is higher in categories that businesses value.
Cash flow can be tight for new or smaller businesses, so intro APRs can be quite helpful. The card's intro purchase APR is 0% for 12 Months (after, 15.49% - 21.49% Variable APR).
For a card with no annual fee, the travel and protection perks aren't half bad. It includes travel and emergency assistance services, roadside dispatch, auto rental collision damage waiver, purchase protection and extended warranty.
Things to watch out for. The sign-up bonus requires what could be seen as a high spend for a small reward. Watch out for the yearly spending caps on the top cashback categories because once you hit them, you'll only earn the lowest amount until your next cardmember anniversary.
If you do a balance transfer, know that it will cost Either $5 or 5% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater.
Read our full review of the Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card.
Best for: This $0 annual fee card also targets start-up or smaller businesses that are fine earning simple flat cashback rewards.
Why we like it: Like the Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card, this card also has a $0 annual fee and allows new cardmembers to Earn $500 bonus cash back after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
The big difference between the two cards is in the way cash back is earned. Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card cardholders Earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase made for your business. It means businesses don't have to track different spending categories.
This card also comes with the same intro purchase and balance transfer offers as the Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card. The purchase intro APR is 0% for 12 Months (After, 15.49% - 21.49% Variable APR).
Things to watch out for: Again, some may not be willing to spend the money needed to get the card's sign-up bonus. You earn the same lower flat rate on all spending. A balance transfer will cost Either $5 or 5% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater.
Read our full review of the Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card.
Best for: More established businesses that don't mind paying an annual fee in exchange for a sweet sign-up bonus, higher points in top spending categories and more generous perks.
Why we like it: New cardmembers are enticed with a sign-up bonus that lets them Earn 80,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That adds up to $1,000 that can be spent on travel at the Chase Ultimate Rewards website.
Earn 3 points per $1 on the first $150,000 spent in combined purchases on travel, shipping purchases, Internet, cable and phone services, advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines each account anniversary year. Earn 1 point per $1 on all other purchases—with no limit to the amount you can earn. And they're in spending categories that are attractive to businesses. Points earned are worth 25% more when you redeem for travel at the Chase Ultimate Rewards website.
You can use your points on vacation packages, cruises or flights on most major airlines with no restrictions or blackout dates. Buy gift cards, pay for part or all of your orders at Amazon.com or redeem points for cash back as a statement credit or direct deposit to most U.S. checking and savings accounts.
The card has a regular purchase rate of 18.24% - 23.24% Variable APR. The balance transfer rate is 18.24% - 23.24% Variable APR.
You can transfer the points you earn on the card 1:1 to nine airline or three hotel loyalty programs in 1,000-point increments.
Use free employee cards to track spending and set spending limits. Other perks include cellphone protection, trip cancellation/trip interruption insurance, roadside dispatch, auto rental collision damage waiver, purchase protection and an extended warranty. Feel free to take this card out of the country since it has a $0 foreign transaction fee.
Things to watch out for: You can't earn higher points on dining and gas on the card, two spending categories that may be important to your businesses. There's a $150,000 per account anniversary cap for spending in the top points categories. After that, it drops to an unlimited 1 point per dollar spent.
There's no intro purchase or balance transfer APR with this card. The balance transfer rate is Either $5 or 5% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater.
You may be charged a fee to transfer your points to an airline or hotel loyalty program. Give yourself time to make a points transfer. Most are done within a business day, but it may take up to seven business days for the transfer, depending on the loyalty program.
Read our full review of the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card.
Rewards Earn 5% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services each account anniversary year. Earn 2% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants each account anniversary year. Earn 1% cash back on all other card purchases with no limit to the amount you can earn. Earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase made for your business Earn 3 points per $1 on the first $150,000 spent in combined purchases on travel, shipping purchases, Internet, cable and phone services, advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines each account anniversary year. Earn 1 point per $1 on all other purchases—with no limit to the amount you can earn.
Chase has given businesses some solid options with its three Ink credit card offerings. The Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card and the Ink Business Unlimited℠ Credit Card allow businesses to choose between flat rewards or higher cash back in key spending categories — with no annual fee. Both cards also come with some perks that keep businesses running.
The Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card, with its $95 annual fee, allows you to earn higher points in popular spending categories, along with the chance to get more value when you spend them at the Chase Ultimate Rewards website.
Is the sign-up bonus tempting enough to spend what's required to get it?
Do you want a card that offers flat cash back?
Do you want to earn higher points or more cash back in key spending categories?
Is the annual fee worth the perks and benefits that come with it?
Will your business use the perks that come with the card?
Once you answer these questions, you can decide which card is the best for helping you operate and grow your business.

Wednesday looks like a nice ridge between two sets of fronts, so I reckon it'll be nice and thermic earlier on, perhaps with increasing cloud as the day wears on.
Saturday looks pretty unstable and showery, as does Sunday, but at this range, it's difficult to be sure. As ever, instability is good for thermals, and if there is sun on the ground at this time of year, it's likely you will be able to stay up, even if that is until the next shower comes along!

Today while I was walking in the halls I heard a group of people talking about the college playoff game for football last night. They were talking about how most of those guys are just dumb jocks. Which is interesting to think about considering that those "dumb jocks" typically have higher required GPA's than the average student. Sure there are academic situations where some athletes get special privileges but there are also multiple cases of academic all-americans in multiple sports where there are athletes getting academic honors WHILE playing sports. While labels and stereotypes will likely never go away, it's frustrating to see a major contradiction. When selection bias occurs (if it's good you accept it but bad you don't or if you see someone doing something bad you point it out but fail to point out their good traits) unfair judgment occurs.

The Fogging
Author(s): Luke Horton
A compelling tale of the slow disintegration of a relationship and the unravelling of a man. Tom and Clara are two struggling academics in their mid-thirties, who decide to take their first holiday in ten years. On the flight over to Indonesia, Tom experiences a debilitating panic attack, something he hasn't had in a long time, which he keeps hidden from Clara. At the resort, they meet Madeleine, a charismatic French woman, her Australian partner, Jeremy, and five-year-old son, Ollie, and the two couples strike up an easy friendship. The holiday starts to look up, even to Tom, who is struggling to get out of his own head. But when Clara and Madeleine become trapped in the maze-like grounds of the hotel during 'the fogging' -- a routine spraying of pesticide -- the dynamics suddenly shift between Tom and Clara, and the atmosphere of the holiday darkens. Told with equal parts compassion and irony, and brimming with observations that charm, illuminate, and devastate, The Fogging dives deep into what it means to be strong when your foundation is built on sand.

Legacy Modernization is the process of upgrading your legacy applications into modern technologies to reduce costs and enable collaboration across all platforms. Our team of experienced engineers will analyze and transform your legacy applications into new applications that run on latest platforms and is cloud-enabled.
Extracts business requirements from software applications and recasts them in natural or formal language for further analysis or forward engineering.
Enhances your application's functionality, which makes them easier to maintain and part of a highly-scalable framework.
Total legacy transformation gives you a strong competitive edge and makes your application future-proof. The entire application is re-engineered from scratch using the latest technology and platform. Since the entire system is replaced with modern technology, there is no need to update for several years.
With this approach, only a single functionality is replaced with the latest technology while the rest of the system is unchanged. A single functionality is identified and taken out of the legacy system and developed as a separate application. Gradually, more components are replaced using modern technology. Thus, replacing one component at a time the risk factor is low.
In this approach, issues identified in the legacy systems are fixed with new technologies while the complete system and architecture are untouched. This is one of the most frequently used approaches in legacy modernization as it offers high success ratio with least disruption.
Modernization is not achieved by upgrading to new technologies. But, re-engineering the existing system to optimize results and reduce cost. This is not a permanent solution but will help the organization in postponing the modernization by increasing the lifetime of the existing legacy system.
Facilitates cloud and easy collaboration for development.

We were really unlucky. It wasn't my first time in Madrid but since it is the capital and I knew where to go, I told Tim how about we create memories together in Madrid. I kinda regret it now because I did not expect it to rain that much. This whole thing about the rain in Spain; yeah I get them now. I love rain because we barely get it in UAE but Madrid's rain was just effin' COLD and dammit, the rain wouldn't take a break. Oh c'mon clouds STOP CRYING, I want to enjoy my holiday.
So like I said we were so unlucky but managed to do few things here and there. Since it was raining like crazzzyyyy, I suggested to get on a hop on hop off bus and explore the city that way since everything I wanted to do was outdoor, we decided to visit Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. We looked at a lot of paintings and art work and as soon as heavy rain turned into drizzles, we decided to continue our journey to explore the city.
I really liked the Plaza Mayor when I first visited Madrid, I wasn't paying attention and I ended up taking Tim to the wrong plaza and we were walking in the cold freezing rain to get on the bus to head to the actual Plaza Mayor. Luckily, the rain stopped so we managed to take a few pictures. As soon as it started raining like crazy, I decided to take Tim to San Miguel Market for dinner. It is one of my favourite things to do in Madrid and THANK GOD it's an indoor market. We spent hours there trying new drinks and food. Tim and I were really sick of the rain in Madrid so we headed back to our accommodation to rest.

Early Medieval burial in European context: log coffins in Scotland
Maldonado, Adrián
This edited volume explores how (what is today) Scotland can be compared with, contrasted to, or was connected with other parts of Early Medieval Europe. Far from a 'dark age', Early Medieval Scotland (AD 300–900) was a crucible of different languages and cultures, the world of the Picts, Scots, Britons and Anglo-Saxons. Though long regarded as somehow peripheral to continental Europe, people in Early Medieval Scotland had mastered complex technologies and were part of sophisticated intellectual networks. This cross-disciplinary volume includes contributions focussing on archaeology, artefacts, art-history and history, and considers themes that connect Scotland with key processes and phenomena happening elsewhere in Europe. Topics explored include the transition from Iron Age to Early Medieval societies and the development of secular power centres, the Early Medieval intervention in prehistoric landscapes, and the management of resources necessary to build kingdoms.

Remembering YSR
In May of 2003, The Times of India carried a very poignant photograph. It showed a bare-chested man, by the side of a highway in Andhra Pradesh, taking a shower from a government water pipeline. The photo would've been nondescript, if not for its subject. The man in the picture was YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

Dear Father, I am having thoughts of ending my life. Father, please attend to me now. Intervene. Get me help. Rescue me this very moment. Frustrate the plans I have made to commit suicide. Remind me today that the courageous thing to do is to live another day and to fight another battle. Please help me to understand that my thoughts of suicide are not from You. Please help me to understand that my enemy wants me to die. Please help me to understand that You only have the authority to take life.

Rival Gangs Console Each Other After Christchurch Mosque Massacre As PM Ardern Comforts Mourners
Watch the moment Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern meets the Muslim community in Christchurch.
Video credit: VOA News
Members of one of the most notorious gangs in New Zealand have been seen consoling one another after the deadly Christchurch attack as Jacinda Ardern paid a visit to the families of the victims.
According to authorities, at least 49 people were killed in the terror attack on Friday and more than 40 are in the hospital facing serious injuries.
Out of them, at least 11 people are in critical condition.
Following the mosque massacre, people across the country have come together to honor the worshipers, who were shot in a defenseless state by Brenton Tarrant, an Australian citizen.
Among the people who arrived at Hagley College, in Christchurch, to meet the survivors and the families of the victims, were the members of an extremely notorious street gang, the Mongrel Mob.
According to reports, the rival factions within the gang came together to support the victims of the terror attack, ignoring the bitter rivalry and enmity among them.
Mongrel Mob is a highly organized street gang spread across New Zealand.
Dressed in t-shirts, vests, and jackets with the mongrel logo, the members of the gang were seen consoling other mourners at Hagley College on Saturday afternoon.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern also arrived at about 1 pm to meet the survivors and mourners, as well as the family members of the victims.
Ardern, who was wearing a black headscarf to show her respect to the Muslim community, then visited Canterbury Refugee Center in Christchurch.
She told reporters that the authorities will soon return the victims to their families.
'Hagley Park, very much the focus on them was being able to access their loved ones,' the Prime Minister said. 'Front of mind for them, of course, is fulfilling their religious expectations and that is burial.'
At the refugee center, she also spoke with the Muslim leaders.
She said: 'At the meeting at the refugee center, their community leaders shared the same sentiment that has come through from New Zealanders generally that.'
'This is not the New Zealand they know.
'This is not the New Zealand that has welcomed them and that it is not a reflection of the New Zealand they know, and that sentiment came through very strongly.'
Ardern will now visit the hospital where around 40 people are under treatment.

What went wrong in Japan
What went wrong in Japan BY gupta1006 On March 1 1, a 9. 0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan and caused tremendous damage to Japan. The earthquake sparked off a 30-foot tsunami within an hour, which only compounded the, already extensive, damage to the country. One of the greatest fears was the potential of a nuclear fall out. Specifically, the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was in question. The nuclear plant in Fukushima had six nuclear reactors, and three out of six of them were in critical state – possibly melting down.
The potential of adiation damage spread panic and fear, not only within Japan, but also around the world. Although nuclear power plants have an enormous risk factor, their benefits are greater – or almost as great. Nuclear plants are a means to produce large amounts of energy, in an environmentally friendly manner. However, the potential for disaster is also present. We have seen this throughout history, with the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island disaster. Nonetheless, we continue to use nuclear energy.
This is due to the fact that there is a global safety standard and there are several precautionary easures in place to minimize the damage and potential for fail. If there are so many precautions and safety nets, this gives rise to the question: "What went wrong in Japan then? " There are several aspects to why the disaster happened in Japan. One of the most prominent one is the fact that the reactors that failed in Japan were Mark 1 boiling water reactors designed by General Electric in the 1960's.
This is one of the earlier and primitive reactor designs, in which the uranium fuel boils water that directly turns the steam turbine. Although effective, this design was later replaced by ressurized water reactors. Safety concerns surrounding the Mark 1 design, in particular, regarding the cooling system were the reason why these designs were quickly replaced. As we have seen, those safety concerns turned into safety failures in Japan. The main flaw with nuclear reactor systems is their complete reliance on electricity for their cooling system.
Without a fresh supply of water in the boiler, the water continues boiling off, and the water level starts falling. Having a stable supply of water is extremely important, because the water is what keeps the nuclear rods at a table temperature. However, if enough water boils off, the fuel rods are exposed and they overheat. This is extremely dangerous, due to the fact that even at the lowest heat, there is enough heat in the rods to melt the nuclear fuel. Having said this, safety measures were put in place.
There is a large redundancy around the pumps and their supply of electricity. There are several sets of fail-safe pumps and supplies of power. Power can come from the power grid. If that fails, there are several layers of backup diesel generators. If they fail, there is a backup battery system. All of this was put into place in order to prevent the rods being exposed and overheating. Unfortunately, shortly after the earthquake, the worst-case scenario unfolded. At tne epicenter 0T tne eartnquaKe, tne power plants snut down I . nls reactlon was expected and was a part of procedure.
However, the power grid supporting the cooling systems became unstable due to the earthquake and it shut down as well. The second source of electricity for the cooling pumps was gone. That brought the backup diesel generators into the picture, diesel-run generators are a stout and eliable method to produce power; there was not much worry at this moment in time. When preparing for such situations, the planners should have anticipated the fact that after a large earthquake, and given Japan's geographical situation, a tsunami would be something to take into account.
It seemed that the 30-foot tsunami took everyone by surprise. The tsunami was several times bigger than anyone anticipated. As a result of lack of anticipation, the diesel-run generators were not high off the ground and were subject to water damage from the tsunami. There was still space for relief, as there was yet another layer to keep the cooling pumps powered – the batteries. The batteries executed their task as per norm. However, the batteries only had enough power to keep the cooling pumps active for a few hours.
The batteries were designed under the premise that the other two power supplies would be fixed within the time span ofa few hours. The Japanese tried to contain the situation by bringing in new generators via truck, however their efforts took too long. This was expected, as the whole country was iscombobulated and the country was physically shaken. Even though there were so many measures to prepare for a power shortage, the weakness in the cooling system was no longer protected by their layers of redundancy.
The main issue with the cooling system was the lack of water, as pumps driven by electricity were bringing in the water. With the complete power shortage, the Japanese had very limited options to contain the damage to a minimum. Even though the situation appeared to be dire, they handled it extremely well. The tsunami had brought in an abundance of water. The operators, as a last chance exertion, flooded the nuclear reactors with the seawater. Boron was added to the seawater, so that the combination would effectively cool the rods.
It would also lead to the complete deterioration of the plant. Even though this was not a desirable situation, it was more preferable than a nuclear meltdown. Boron absorbs neutrons and is one of the main constituents in the control rods. This was necessary, because the water started to interact with the boiling hot rods and broke into hydrogen. The high pressure during the situation caused the uild of hydrogen to turn into a series of hydrogen based explosions. This was not a serious matter; there was no radioactive explosion.
However, with the cracks in the power plants, nuclear explosions were inevitable unless drastic measures were taken. Therefore their last-ditch effort was Justified. According to radiation expert Andrew Karam, "The amount of radiation that thus far has traveled beyond the immediate area of Fukushima is infinitesimal; it doesnt pose a danger to residents outside the 18-mile radius of the shelter-in-place zone??"and certainly not to anyone lsewhere in the world. Even inside the zone, the radiation dose is not immediately damaging".
This is a testament to the quick and effective decision making processes of the Japanese, given the extremity of their situation. Although the Japanese dealt wltn tne artermatn 0T tne sltuatlon In a relatively erective manner, tne Tact tnat a disaster happened is a very concerning matter. Apart from a primitive reactor system, a large reason why the disaster occurred is the Japanese power company 'TEPCO' (Tokyo Electric Power Company). In a report from the TEPCO task force, it was tated: "When looking back on the accident, the problem was that preparations were not made in advance".
The company did not fully ensure the safety of the power plant, as it neglected the implementation of multiple cooling systems and power sources – in an attempt to cut costs and speed up the building of the plant. Apart from this, TEPCO has also made errors in handling the situation. They have conceded the point that 300 tons of toxic water is being leaked into the Pacific every day. Even a year ago, researchers found trace amounts of cesium from the Daiichi in West Coast Fish.

Dream-Land
Dream-Land Sadness
The speaker of "Dream-Land" is sad. Really, really sad. Did you get that? If there's one thing to remember about this poem, it's probably that. In fact, pretty much everything in this poem is sad. Even the lakes are bummed out! Poe is all about intense moods and feelings, the darker the better. We might go out on a limb and say that the most important feeling in Poe's major poems is loss, and the sadness that goes with it. The speakers in his poems are almost always grieving for someone who has died. No different here.
Questions About Sadness
Have you ever been so sad that you felt like the world around you was sad too? Can you see what Poe means when he talks about a lake being sad (line 23)?
Do you think the speaker becomes less sad as the poem continues?
Is it sometimes kind of fun to feel depressed? Do you think the speaker of this poem likes wallowing in his misery a little bit?
Is sadness the most important emotion in this poem? Can you think of others that might be equally significant?
While this appears to be a poem about a strange and distant place, every element of the poem is actually being used to describe the speaker's emotional state.
The startling revelation that the speaker is happy in Dream-Land reinforces how emotionally disturbed he is, and blurs the line between the waking world and the land of nightmares.

Today in Bigfoot History | APR 09, 1934 | America's First Sasquatch-Catching Expedition
A newspaper article coincidentally from 1934 about the British Columbia Sasquatch
"Our professor of anthropology will be much interested," --Blakeney brothers right before they left for British Columbia in pursuit of Sasquatch
Just as 1958 was a watershed moment for Bigfoot in the Bluff Creek, the same could be said about 1934 and Sasquatch in British Columbia. At the time, Tom Cedar's encounter (illustrated above) was just the most recent in a string of several other encounters spanning over 20 years.
This brings us to today's Bigfoot history topic. Two Sacramento brothers, medical students at the University of California, decide they would "bag" a Sasquatch. It was touted by the Associated Press in the Sacramento Bee as "America's first Sasquatch-catching expedition."
Read the article below about the lofty endeavor proposed by the Blakeney brothers. But wait! There's more! We have taken the time of two more keystrokes to also provide you with the Lincoln Star article (pictured above) about Tom Cedar's encounter printed in the same year.
Fresno [California] Bee
Californians Out To Bag Legendary 'Sasquatch'
VANCOUVER (B.C.), April 9. — (AP) — America's first Sasquatch-catching expedition headed into the mountains of British Columbia today on a hunt for the horrible, hairy, naked bogey-man of Indian legend.
J. F. Blakeney and C. K. Blakeney, brothers, of Sacramento, medical students at the University of California, read reports of frightened tribesmen that the giant body-snatcher of old had been seen recently in the mountains north of Harrison Lake and determined to attempt to photograph or lasso a "Sasquatch."
The fabled Sasquatch, as described in Indian lore for hundreds of years, is about as villainous a phantasm as ever frightened a little papoose anywhere, but adult Indians also are fearful of the monsters.
They are supposed to lurk in the caves and glades of British Columbia, coming out in the twilight to peer moodily into Indian tepees, to glower and snatch at children, to steal food, play diabolical tricks and even kill warriors.
"Our professor of anthropology will be much interested," said the Blakeneys, as they left for the haunts of the Sasquatch.
British Columbia is a happy hunting ground for weird legends, and there is no lack of witnesses who will swear to them, as hundreds have sworn they have seen Ogopogo, the sheep-headed fresh-water serpent of Lake Okanogan, and the two big salt-water sea-serpents, Hiaschuckaluck Cadborosaurus and his "wife," Amy.
And now for The Lincoln Star Article from the same year.

Are they the Last Cave Men?
British Columbia Startled by the Appearance of "Sasquatch," a Strange Race of Hairy Giants
By Francis Dickie
It is peculiarly in keeping with the topsy-turvy year of violently varying weather, universal human unrest, droughts, grasshopper plagues and other phenomena that there now comes from various eyewitnesses the report of seeing some of the "Sasquatch," those weird hairy men reported for twenty years to dwell in the tremendous and unexplored mountain region of British Columbia, Canada.
Their reported return is particularly in keeping with this unusual year, as remarkable for the number of appearances of various startling monsters sighted from Scotland to the Caribbean, from the Pacific to the Mediterranean, the reality of which is affirmed by scores of eyewitnesses. Moreover, the statements of some of these people, in so far as curious denizens of the oceans are concerned, have been borne out, for within a short time of each other, at a dozen places on the European coast, the remains of incredible monsters of the deep have been cast up.
Of all these mysterious earthly visitants, perhaps the "Sasquatch" is the least known, by reason of the rarity of their appearance and the reluctance of those who have seen them to talk.
THE existence of a troglodyte race inhabiting the mountains of British Columbia in many of the vast caves is a tribal legend among the Chehalis Indians and those of the Skwah Reservation, near Chilliwack, in the Harrison Lake district, about a hundred miles east of Vancouver. Among the Indians the race has been known for centuries by the name "Sasquatch," or hairy men.
But reports of these creatures being seen frequently at various times over a period of the last twenty years, and more frequently in recent weeks, have caused a number of people to raise the question if these strange creatures may not be more than an Indian legend of the past, and that some of this race of cavern dwellers are still living in the unexplored fastness of British Columbia.
The Sasquatch have been seen, according to the statements from both white men and Indians. The wild, hairy men have mostly been reported in the Harrison Lake district, but also as far east as the mountainous region of Yale, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The repeated reports of eyewitnesses of seeing one or more of the huge hairy men in recent years, and more particularly in the last month, and the mounting number of the reports of eyewitnesses now seem to point strongly that the old tribal legend, long contemptuously flouted by the white man, is true, and that at least a few of this mysterious race may still inhabit the solitudes nearby where once they were numerous. The possibility of this is further borne out when it is recalled that the remains of a giant race of men recently have been unearthed in the mountainous region of Mexico.
The chief difficulty, in fact the whole task of an investigator, in matters of such phenomena as Sasquatch or sea serpents, is, of course, the credibility of the witnesses. If untruthful, what motive lies behind their story? In the case of the Sasquatch, the element of credence is heightened because in most cases the witnesses have been reluctant ones, some of them not revealing their stories for years.
From a careful comparison of all eyewitness statements to date, all are closely in agreement as to the following facts: The Sasquatch are gigantic men, varying from six and one-half to seven feet in height. One, and only one, witness states the nose of them to be very broad, and the arms long, reaching below the knee. All but one are agreed as to the hideousness of the face.
However, as in most instances the Sasquatch were not seen close up, it is natural the descriptions remain very general. Those people who have been close were so terror-stricken that their accounts are vague. Yet, aside from one of the most recent happenings, in only two other cases have the Sasquatch shown themselves hostile.
THE fact that some of these strange people have just been reported close to civilization at this time accurately compares with dates noted by the Chehalis Indians. The Indians have oral records covering three generations. According to them, members of the tribe have seen in the Springtime every fourth year the light of a great fire on one of the highest peaks in the Chehalis Range. The fire burns for four nights, riding in a very high, thin column. Sometimes it is suddenly extinguished, to rise again a little later. That this is some periodic mark of a return to a certain place of worship at some ancient shrine, or a communication with members in some remote mountain fastness, are possible conjectures.
These periodic returns to some ancient gathering place do bring these people close to what are now civilized areas.
A few days ago, a middle-aged Indian, Tom Cedar, was trout fishing from his canoe on Morris Creek, a tributary of the Harrison. He was near a rocky terraced bank. Suddenly a large rock struck the water so close to his canoe that he was drenched by the splash. Looking up, he saw with amazement a huge hairy man above him just as he threw another rock. This also barely missed the canoe. Cedar paddled rapidly upstream to the settlement.
By way of noting an odd coincidence, this particular stream, now called Morris Creek, was known as Saskakau when the white man first arrived, and is so called on old maps. Nearby are caverns which were investigated by Captain Warde, forty years a resident in the district. He states they bear evidence of habitation. Upon the walls are some crude drawings. In this region, according to the Indians, two large bands of Sasquatch fought a long time ago until both were brought almost to extinction.
THE other evidence of hostile intention of some of these creatures dates back twenty years and consists of the statements of two Indians, Peter and Paul Williams, of Chehalis. The following is very much a condensed resume:
"On an evening in May," states Peter, "I was about a mile from the reserve, near the foot of the mountain, when what I at first took to be a bear rose up in the underbrush. It was between six and seven feet tall, covered with hair. I turned and ran through the underbrush to my dugout. The hairy man came after me. I paddled across the stream, which is not very deep, and the man waded after. I reached the house where my wife and child were inside. I bolted the door. Presently the hairy man arrived. It was growing dark. He prowled around, grunting and growling, but after a little while went away."
About the same time Paul was chased from a creek where he was fishing. But the giant did not run after him very far, and apparently the action was only to drive the man away to get the fish he had taken.
On another occasion in the next year, Peter and another man came upon two giants so close as to distinguish a man and a woman. Though the Indians ran, they were not pursued.
Charley Victor, now living at Chilliwack, relates that he and a little group of companions, while bathing in a mountain lake near Yale, suddenly looked up to see a huge man, naked and hairy, looking down upon them from among the trees.
"His big eyes looked very kind, and I was about to speak to him when he drew back into the trees," related Charley.
Here we have the only witness who gives a favorable reaction to sight of the mysterious race.
This took place many years ago and at a point about a hundred miles from where the majority of the Sasquatch have been reported seen in recent times.
THE next account of which any fully recorded evidence is now to be seen deals with September, 1927, near the little mountain town of Agassiz, which is very near the points at which all the other Sasquatch have been reported. A party of hop-pickers were picnicking here. On their way to this[,] a man, named Herbert Point, and a girl, Adeline August, were walking when they saw a strange creature approaching. "He was twice as big as the average man, with hands [arms?] so long they nearly touched the ground, and his nose seemed spread all over his face. His body was covered with hair like an animal. He stopped within fifty feet of us. We ran away as fast as we could." The lines in quotes are excerpts from a letter written by the man in answer to a query of what he had seen.
Within recent weeks Emma Paul and Millie Saul, two other members of the Chehalis Reserve, saw one of the Sasquatch near their home on the fringe of the woods. Several nights later he was heard prowling around the home of Millie Saul, and one rubbed his hand over the window frame.
To date, the last report was from Harrison Mills, a small hamlet on the Harrison River.
The woman, on hearing a humming noise, looked up to see a big man covered with hair on the edge of the clearing. She was frightened. Taking a backward step, she fell into one of the half-full laundry tubs at which she had been working. When she had extricated herself and looked again, the man had disappeared.
Such, in brief, are the legendary and eyewitness stories regarding the Sasquatch.
THE scientific board connected with the Museum of Vancouver is skeptical regarding the existence of any such remnant of a race that once might have roamed the forested regions.
An objection that the climate is too rigorous for a naked race, no matter how hairy, might be answered by pointing to the Fengians, who live in a much more inhospitable one.
The eyewitness reports have always been reluctantly given. There may be many more. The chief objection among the natives to telling white inquirers is fear of ridicule. This sensitiveness is much stronger among natives than whites.
Here, for the present, the matter must rest. Perhaps further witnesses may be heard in the future. Remembering, however, in judging the possibilities of the existence of the Sasquatch, how many people have seen sea serpents and that remains of strange creatures have been recently washed on various shores. It is quite within the bounds of probability that just as there are unknown forms of life in the boundless depths of the ocean, equally so may there be in the enormous wilderness stretches of British Columbia wild hairy men roaming.
