Bass, Berry & Sims Releases Updated Blueprint for an IPO
The firm recently released an updated Blueprint for an IPO, a guide to help companies understand the process of going public and the new challenges they will face once their securities are publicly traded. An IPO is at the same time exciting and very demanding on a company's management team. IPO candidates face for the first time the expansive regulatory scheme administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and must deal with corporate governance processes that are much different than what they had as private companies.
The newly released guide is organized in an easy to use Q&A format detailing many of the ongoing obligations a company will face after it becomes a public company.
Below is a list of the types of questions that are answered in the newest edition of the Blueprint for an IPO.
SEC Extends Confidential Review of Certain Registration Statements to Non-EGCs
By Jay Knight & Tim Van Hal on July 26, 2017
Last month, the Staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance announced that, as part of the Division's ongoing efforts to facilitate capital formation, all issuers are now permitted to submit draft registration statements relating to IPOs and Exchange Act Section 12(b) registration (e.g., spin-offs) to the Staff for nonpublic (i.e., confidential) review.
Previously, nonpublic review was available only to emerging growth companies (EGCs), as authorized by the JOBS Act, and in certain circumstances to foreign private issuers. Nonpublic submission of registration statements makes it possible for companies to avoid alerting the market of offering plans before the company is certain that it will move forward with any offering.

Bass, Berry & Sims Securities and Shareholder Litigation Group Publishes 2017: A Look Ahead
By Britt Latham on April 28, 2017
While not necessarily as eventful as 2015, 2016 saw courts interpret and build upon major decisions from prior years, and have set up at least one important issue for consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court. 2016 also featured several important legal developments that should continue to impact both private litigation and public enforcement throughout 2017, including:
SEC Whistleblower Program. By the time the SEC closed its 2016 fiscal year in September, it had filed a record number of enforcement actions. In addition, the SEC's whistleblower program awarded more than $57 million to 13 whistleblowers during the year, almost as much as in all previous years combined. The big question will be whether the Trump administration will allow this trend to continue.
Bass, Berry & Sims Releases Blueprint for an IPO
By Jay Knight on September 7, 2016
Bass, Berry & Sims is pleased to provide its Blueprint for an IPO to help companies understand the process of going public and the new challenges they will face once their securities are publicly traded. An initial public offering (IPO) is a transaction in which a company's securities are offered to the public for the first time. Companies go public to raise capital to fuel growth, pay down debt and provide liquidity to shareholders, among other things. Going public is a corporate milestone, particularly in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act era of corporate reform. An IPO is at the same time exciting and very demanding on a company's management team. IPO candidates face for the first time the expansive regulatory scheme administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and must deal with corporate governance processes that are much different than what they had as private companies.
Bass, Berry & Sims' Securities Law Exchange blog features commentary and practical insight on SEC updates for publicly traded companies.

The Rise of Coco Gauff at Wimbledon
By Amanda Scurlock, Sports Writer
Teen tennis sensation, Cori 'Coco' Gauff became the center of attention at Wimbledon 2019 immediately, being matched up and beating her idol and five-time Wimbledon singles champion Venus Williams. (AP / Kirsti Wigglesworth)
Young tennis player Cori 'Coco' Gauff took Wimbledon by storm this year. Although she was defeated by Simona Halep of Romania in a round of 16, the 15-year-old Atlanta native's run in the British tournament was historic.
It all began when Gauff competed in the wildcard qualifiers. She was the 12th youngest to get the opportunity, but the only one to qualify for the tournament's main draw. In the last of her qualifying games, she defeated Greet Minnen of Belgium 6-1, 6-1.
Wimbledon gives out wildcards to players who do not have the world ranking, basing the invite on the players past performance at Wimbledon and on if said athletes can pique the interest of British spectators.
Gauff became the center of attention immediately, being matched up with her idol and five-time Wimbledon singles champion, Venus Williams. With a focus only on winning the match, Gauff executed four aces and secured 32 first serve points over Williams' 25. Despite having five double faults, Gauff made all three of her break points.
"I told [Williams] thank you for everything that you did," Gauff said. "I wouldn't be here without you. I always wanted to tell her that."
In the next round, she faced Magdelena Rybarikova of Slovakia and defeated her on straight sets. Gauff hit 28 winning first serves and Rybarikova made 23 unforced errors.
"It just shows if you really work hard, you can get where you want to go," Gauff said. "I don't put expectations on myself, but I have goals and my goal is to win it."

Round three brought some challenges for Gauff, as she battled Polona Hercog of Slovenia. Gauff lost the first set 3-6 but won the second set in a tiebreaker and claimed the third set 7-5. Although Hercog made four aces and 108 total points, Gauff overcame it with three break points and 18 net points. Hercog also squandered two match points.
That match made Gauff the youngest player to reach the round of 16 in Wimbledon since Jennifer Capriati in 1991. Going into her match against no.7 ranked Halep, Gauff had long surpassed British interest.
Gauff—a current resident of Delray Beach, Florida—had garnered the support of former first lady Michelle Obama, the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Heat, and Italian pasta company, Barilla via Twitter at this point.
Sparring against Halep was difficult for Gauff, who made 29 unforced errors. Although Gauff made six more net points, Halep won the match 6-3, 6-3.
Gauff's run in Wimbledon permeated to her parents, who have been swamped with media requests in regards to their daughter. They spoke with well-known Good Morning America broadcaster, Robin Roberts, explaining Gauff's match-up against Williams, and how the Williams sisters journey helped them carve out a path for Gauff in the tennis world.
Both of Gauff's parents were collegiate athletes; her father, Corey, playing basketball and her mother, Candi, running track.
"We hadn't seen many African American women in the sport. So, when [Venus and Serena] started winning and having success and trailblazing, some of the challenges that they went through made it a lot easier to get into the sport," Corey said on Good Morning America. "And it allowed us to be a lot more confident about choosing [tennis]."
Gauff began playing in the ITF juniors circuit when she was 13-years-old and became ranked no. 1 in the world in the junior's sector. She had major success in 2018, when she won a junior singles Grand Slam at the French Open and a junior doubles grand slam in the US Open.

A return to normality after the manic moth weekend with the main feature of the day - quite apart from it being so enjoyable to be out in such pleasantly warm, sunny conditions - being a nice selection of autumn migrants for what's still really quite early in the season. Swifts and hirundines accounted for the numbers with, for example, 150 Swallows, 66 Sand Martins and 46 Swifts through at the Bill during the course of the morning; the first 4 Willow Warblers of the autumn also showed up there, whilst other interest came in the form of 5 Black-headed Gulls, 4 Redshanks, 3 Wheatears and singles of Dunlin, Greenshank, Turnstone and Yellow Wagtail on/overhead on the land and 131 Manx Shearwaters, 26 Common Scoter, 2 Sandwich Terns and singles of Balearic Shearwater, Yellow-legged Gull and Great Skua through on the sea. Ferrybridge came up with 98 Mediterranean Gulls, 71 Dunlin, 5 Sanderling and a Common Sandpiper.
Despite the wealth of interesting moths that have shown up just recently, 'conventional' lepidoptera immigration hasn't featured to any great extent in recent weeks, and today continued that trend: Red Admirals were about but certainly not in large numbers, whilst Painted Ladys were limited to a couple of singles and there was just a solitary Hummingbird Hawk-moth in the Obs garden.
The night's mothing produced few surprises beyond an Antler Moth at Weston; the tally of immigrants/strays at the Obs included 38 Diamond-back Moth, 12 Marbled Piercer, 2 Rusty-dot Pearl and singles of Leek Moth, Pebble Hook-tip, True Lover's Knot and Red Admiral butterfly.
Wainscot Neb Monochroa palustrella, Marjoram Crest Acompsia schmidtiellus and Clay Crest Helcystogramma lutatella - Portland Bill, The Grove and Freshwater Bay, 19th and 21st July 2014 © Martin Cade
...having a rich and varied selection of presently knackered photographic equipment has somewhat restricted the possibilities when it comes to furnishing the site with bird photos, so we'll stick to the moths for another day. Although we struggle with a fair few of the gelechids, they are nonetheless a family that seem worth spending some time on, with several pretty interesting species recorded from Portland. Wainscot Neb is a local species restricted mainly to south-east England; there looks to be few Dorset records other than the ?three presumed vagrants that have been recorded over the years from the Obs traps. Marjoram Crest is only a little more widespread, both in Britain and Dorset; within the island we've only ever recorded it from the north-east quarter: it's a tolerably regular visitor to our garden trap at the Grove, to where it presumably wanders from the likes of Nicodemus Knob and Broadcroft Quarry BC reserve which are the only other sites where we've light-trapped it. Clay Crest is rarer still, being only recorded in Britain from Portland - and then only right on the extreme coastal fringe between Freshwater Bay and Church Ope Cove - and a few spots on Purbeck.

Q: How to stylize jQuery UI tooltip? Back when the tooltip plugin was still outside of jQuery UI (bassistance?)
I was able to do something like this:

but with the tooltip being a part of jQuery UI, what I wrote above is not possible anymore.
This is how I'm doing it using jQuery UI:

This is what it looks like using jQuery UI: http://i.imgur.com/ulkzyEy.jpg
This is what it looks like using the original plugin: http://i.imgur.com/cyDwPM9.jpg
I find I have greater control to styling on the old tooltip compared to the new one. As can be seen from the 2nd screenshot, my tooltip is using the correct font css that was set in one of my css file.
Can anyone suggest what I can do so I have greater control to styling when using tooltip via jQuery UI?
Thanks

I've made my full-time living in the network marketing world since 2000. Before that time, I spent a few years on a part-time basis learning the skills needed to be able to transition to full-time. I absolutely love this industry. Money is, of course, a factor. The big factor has always been freedom.
As my kids were growing up, I was able to be with them as a father. I didn't have to miss special events or those beautiful day to day moments that make life so wonderful. Family vacations were never a matter of asking for time off, hoping I could leave early, or worrying about getting back on time.
Success in the world of MLM translates to much more than just money. It helps us achieve the freedom to spend our days as we choose, doing what we enjoy, with the people who are important to us.
There are also some realities involved with network marketing that a lot of folks find out the hard way and I am going to share those with you, now.
The key is to recognize that these things are true across the board and they happen to all of us, from the brand new beginner to the #1 income earner in all of network marketing. I can tell you this because I have been an absolute beginner and I have sat across the coffee table from the #1 income earner in the entire network marketing industry.
Are you ready to learn these inconvenient mlm truths? Let's get started.
People are going to tell you "no". When you saw the product or service and the opportunity that went with it, you thought to yourself, "Well, that just makes sense! Everybody should do this!". And, I agree. Everybody SHOULD. But, you may also remember a time when you saw an opportunity and said "no". Maybe the timing wasn't right for you. Maybe you weren't quite hungry enough or really "ready".Today, a friend of mine who I have known for years told me, "no". His exact words were, "Thx but not for us". This was AFTER he and I had talked about how the money we make as musicians is not enough and he would love to learn more about how to make some extra money.Guess what. We're still friends. I still think he should do this with me. Maybe he will in the future. But, for whatever reason, he is telling me "no" at this time. I'll stay in touch, let him know of my progress, and remind him that he can get in with me when he's ready.
Leaders know: "No" is just one of the steps on the way to the next "Yes" so they keep on building.
People are going to lie to you. Whether it's about coming to a presentation, watching a video, getting started, or building a massive business, folks would rather lie to you than just tell you "no". It's just what some people do. People lie to me every day. Don't take it personally. They aren't bad people and they don't hate you. They just don't know how to give you a direct answer. And that's ok. Think of this as a longer way for them to tell you "no" and don't take it personally. They will be watching. As your business grows, you will have another opportunity to talk with them.When someone tells you, "Yes, I will ______________" let them know you are excited for them and you look forward to helping, presenting, supporting, etc… but don't be surprised when they do not follow through. Humans are just funny that way.
Leaders know: People are going to lie. They just do. So, we just keep looking for the next person who is ready.
People are going to quit. Not everybody who joins you is ready to do the work. Sometimes, people say "yes" because they just don't know how to say "no". They usually go back and ask for a refund. Or they just quietly quit and start hiding. Sometimes, people say "yes" because they WANT it to be true and they HOPE it will work. Sometimes, they say "yes" because they are hoping that you will have some sort of magic wand that will make them successful. When you don't do it for them, they quit. It just happens. Don't spend much time trying to figure out why or how to stop it from happening.
Leaders know life moves in cycles and some folks are just not ready to build. So they keep looking for those ready to run with them.
You Can Still Succeed! Even when people tell you "no", lie to you, and quit, you can still build a thriving network marketing business. The key is to recognize that this is all part of the sorting process.When someone tells you "no", it's really not an absolute "forever". Their situation may change in the future. They may lose their job. They may learn more. They may see your success and decide they want to work with you. Be patient. Stay in touch. Keep building. Lead by example.When someone lies to you, don't take it personally. Maybe they have have had bad experience. Maybe they just got distracted by life. Maybe they are just scared. Be patient. Stay in touch. Keep building. Lead by example.When they quit, they are just not ready to move forward. Maybe they didn't have the courage to tell you "no". Maybe they didn't get the training and support they needed to move forward, either due to their their own inaction or other events. Be patient. Stay in touch. Keep building. Lead by example.
Leaders know: All of this IS going to happen so just get past it, keep building, and focus on where your success can be found: With those ready to RUN with you and DO the work! Don't waste time thinking about or worrying about the other stuff. There is no pay plan or bonus attached to worrying or complaining.
While you are talking to new potential business partners, you are really just sorting to find the ones who are ready to get started.
Once you get someone registered, you are still sorting. Now you are sorting to find those ready to take their lives to the next level. This will NOT be everybody you sign up. Some of those will lie, quit, and tell you "no" when it comes to training and actually doing the work involved. So how do you find real business partners?
You will identify real business partners by the actions they take. If they take advantage of the training… if they DO the things you and the company are teaching them to do … if they follow through … then you may have your next big producer.
The key for you is always: Be patient. Stay in touch. Keep building. Lead by example.
NEVER say to yourself or to anyone, "If I could just get that person in my business, they would blow it up!" Your should ALWAYS focus on "I am going to build MY business strong!". And then you go out and look for those who think this same way or can be TAUGHT to think this way and are ready to RUN with you. Along the way, you will identify and train those leaders who will run with you. Hint: That number will be far lower than the number of folks who lie, quit, and don't follow through. Just get used to it.
When you see someone like me, don't forget that there was a day when I was brand new, had no clue, and made a lot of mistakes. I quit. I failed to follow through. I told people "no". Through all of that, some very patient mentors and trainers were able to be patient, stay focused, and continued showing me the way by example.
I still have more to learn. I still have larger goals. I am still building. People are still telling me "no". Prospects still lie to me. People still join and then quit. I just keep building. Along the way, I've identified and helped train some powerful leaders. We are winning together!
Network marketing is a fantastic industry. The rewards are well worth the price paid. The key is to pay the price as quickly as possible so the rewards come fast enough to excite you and those you are talking to.

Q: Navigation controller with two views I have a navigation controller that controls view switch. How can I show a view without removing the current view?

A: if your new view has a view controller use
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:newController animated:YES];

A: This will add a view to the viewcontrollers view.
[parentView addSubview:subView];

This will add the view in variable subView into the view in variable parentView. In your case this would mean parentView is the viewcontroller's view and the subView is the view you want to add.
You can change the position of the subView in the parentView by setting the subview's subview.frame property.
If you are talking about a viewController you want to show take a look at the answer of Andiih.

"Why the fuck are you doing this to me?" Justin Bieber asked Officer Fulgencio Medina during his arrest this morning. According to the pop star's official arrest report, as tweeted by the Miami Beach Police Department, Bieber was surly and visibly intoxicated when police pulled him over. (The Miami Herald reported Officer Medina's full name, which was not included in the arrest report.)
Justin Bieber's wild decline: a timeline of the pop superstar's high-profile troubles
Beiber was arrested at 4:19 a.m. this morning when Miami Beach police spotted his car – a yellow Lamborghini – drag-racing a red Ferrari in a residential area. The report states that Bieber was arrested for resisting arrest without violence, driving under the influence and driving with an expired license, which had been issued by the state of Georgia. While the report said the police spotted indications of being under the influence of alcohol, it also said it was unknown whether he was under the influence of drugs. Another police report identified the man Beiber was racing to be 19-year-old Khalil Amir Sharieff, the R&B singer and former Def Jam recording artist who goes by Khalil.
"I immediately smelled the odor of alcohol emanating from the driver's breath," wrote Medina, who also noted Bieber's "bloodshot eyes." The policeman said Bieber was making "slow, deliberate" movements and had a "stupor look on his face."

When the officer asked the 19-year-old to exit the yellow Lamborghini, Bieber protested and put his hands in his pockets. Because the officer feared the pop star might have a weapon, he asked him to put his hands on the car so he could frisk him. "What the fuck did I do? Why did you stop me?" Bieber asked.
The pop star complied and put his hands on the vehicle, but then turned around. "I ain't got no fucking weapons," he said. "Why do you have to search me? What the fuck is this about?"
Officer Medina informed Bieber that if he continued to take his hands off the car, he would arrest him. Bieber turned around again, so Medina grabbed his right hand and told him he was under arrest. The pop star resisted and pulled his hand away. "What the fuck are you doing?" he asked again. Medina then called over an Officer Molina and placed him into custody.
On the ride to the police station, another police officer informed Bieber that he was suspected of driving while impaired. Bieber said he was not drunk and that he had been recording music. Upon arriving at the police station, he submitted to a Breathalyzer test.
The report said that the arrest occurred after another police officer, this one named Cosner, spotted two sports cars on a residential block. Two black SUVs looked as though they had been parked to stop traffic, so the sports cars could race. The officer said both cars reached speeds of 55 to 60 miles per hour in a 30 mile-per-hour zone. Officer Medina responded to the original officer's request for backup.
The Miami Beach Police Department tweeted Beiber's arrest report and mugshot just before 11 a.m. EST. They used the hashtags #MUGSHOT and #ARRESTREPORT in their tweets. Read the report in three parts, here, here and here.
Update: Justin Bieber's bond was set at $2,500 by Judge Joseph P. Farina of Miami-Dade County, Florida around 1 p.m. EST today, following his arrest earlier. Bieber, who was wearing a standard-issue orange V-neck prison jumpsuit with rolled-up sleeves, appeared before the judge via closed-circuit TV from a sheriff's office. The bond broke down to $1,000 for driving under the influence, $1,000 for resisting arrest without violence and $500 for driving with an expired license.

I am the Director of Studies and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science, University College London. This chart shows where I sit in the departmental food chain.
I was an undergraduate at Trinity College Cambridge and then a PhD student in the Cambridge University Computer Lab, working in the field of distributed object-based programming languages.
Following this, I joined the Department of Computer Science at UCL as a Research Fellow, undertaking the first public demonstration of video conferencing over UK academic networks.
Shortly afterwards I was made a lecturer, and then, in 2000, a senior lecturer. I have been Director of Studies since 1st Jan 2003.
I am interested in all aspects of mobile systems and security. But most particularly in the hard bits; ad hoc systems, pervasive/ambient computing environments, and how to secure these things. I also retain a quiet interest in multimedia.
I'm currently the PI of the MARS project, which is a collaborative project in conjunction with BT looking at building middleware components for trust management in pervasive environments, and the CoI on SEINIT, an EC Framework 6 Integrated Project looking at securing ambient networks. Finally, I will be PI and the project Technical Manager for RUNES, which is a largish Framework 6 IP, looking at networked embedded systems. RUNES is due to start on 1st September 2004.
My past projects include: 6WINIT an EC framework 5 project; some EPSRC funded projects (PIMMS, MOSQUITO, and MEDAL); and UKERNA funded projects such as ACOL and TITAN.
Aside from mobile systems and security, I have broad interests in teaching methodology particularly in future environments. Thus for example, a heavily revised second edition of The Digital University: Building a Learning Community was published in 2002.
My wife, Helen, is an organic chemist at UCL. We have two children, who absorb a considerable amount of our time and energy.
I love being in wild places and visit Dartmoor as often as I can.
I'm a member of the National Association for Gifted Children, the National Trust, and the Henry Doubleday Research Association.
I strongly believe that those of us who are fortunate to live in a country where the availability of fundamentals such as clean water, health, and education are taken for granted should give something back to the wider world community. Visit the World Vision site.


Whether you are in Buenos Aires for a day because it is a one-day port of call or on a layover, it can be a challenge to get a sense of the locale's people and personality. However, my husband, Bill and I did our best to take in the flavor of the city during a recent South American cruise. Deciding the best things to do in Buenos Aires for a layover can be hard, only because there are so many options.
In advance of our trip, I had done as I always do and researched Bueno Aires. Despite doing the homework, I typically do not like to over plan. Buenos Aires is a big city and we knew we could not do it all in a day. However, there were a few things we knew we wanted to do including a three-hour walking tour with Context Travel; a steak at a neighborhood restaurant and take in some tango music and dancers in colorful La Boca.
We scheduled a modified version of Context Travel's 3-hour Making of Argentina tour. Because I was not aware of the distance between the cruise port and our meeting point at the Puerto Madero, we were a bit late for the tour. Our docent, Salome was flexible and adjusted the itinerary to accommodate our tardiness.
We promptly began our tour upon our arrival. Starting in the trendy Puerto Madero area, Salome explained to us that this was the original port in Argentina. After the new port was built the original ceased to function and the area fell into disrepair. In recent years, it has undergone revitalization.
You can still see what was of the original port. Remnants of some of the cranes that once dollied up and down the steel tracks transferring cargo from ship to warehouses still exist. The old industrial buildings are now multi-use space with retail shops, restaurants, offices, and apartments all residing under one roof. This has become a gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.
The Puente de la Mujer (Bridge of the Woman) connects the Puerto Madero with the new city. This is an affluent section popular with young business people. The area is predominantly newer apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants, and offices. There is also a protected reserve.
We did not get over to that part of the city as our tour concentrated on the history of Buenos Aires. Nevertheless, the region is worth noting and is a place we would explore on a repeat visit when we have a bit longer. You may choose to do it during your daytrip.
It is no coincidence that Buenos Aires is sometimes referred to as the "Paris of South America. " This was by design. The Argentine founders courted light skinned Europeans of art, music, and literature to immigrate to Buenos Aires. With them, they brought, European food and culture. However, like the United States, this meant that the indigenous people were pushed out.
Because of the influx of European immigrants, Buenos Aires has a notable Old World feel. This is present in much of the architecture, both new and old. And of course, the city is known for its art, music, dance and opera houses.
With the importance of immigration on present-day Argentina it is only logical that our first stop in the old city was the original Immigration's Office. The building is one of the few colonial-style buildings left in Buenos Aires. To show us the difference in architectural styles we walked a short distance to a newer more European influenced Immigration Building. In the downtown area, much of the architecture, particularly government buildings, are constructed in this style.
As we moved on and into the city we stopped at the Defense Building. Naturally, the conversation turned to politics and government. We learned that Argentina had fought for centuries before gaining its independence from Spain in 1816 and becoming a Democracy only as recently as 1983.
After a few more stops, we made our way to the Casa Rosado (Pink House) and Plaza de Mayo. This is the equivalent of the White House in the U.S. or the Presidential Palace in many other countries. This is where Eva Peron would have given her speech to the masses, as seen in the film Evita and one of the most popular things to do in Buenos Aires. Casa Rosado was originally two buildings: the Presidential Palace and the post office. Oddly, the grander of the two was the post office. This did not sit well so the two building were attached to make one Palace.
The Palace overlooks the Plaza de Mayo, which is the city center. This is where the Argentine people come to protest and celebrate. This is true even today. The day we were there, a small group gathered to protest the imprisonment of Milagro Sala, a human rights activist.
Probably the most fascinating part of the tour was right here in Plaza de Mayo. In the center of the square is an obelisk, a monument to Argentina's freedom on May 8, 1816. There is a paved area that circles the monument. From the ring are "spokes." The inner spokes have white headscarves painted. The paintings represent the Abuelas (Grandmother's) Movement.
Beginning in 1976, dissenters of the dictatorship began to disappear, approximately, 30,000 in total. The mothers and wives of the missing men, being unable to protest under the dictatorship, began to walk quietly around the monument. The younger women, many pregnant prior to their husbands' capture were then jailed themselves. When the women gave birth, their children were taken and "adopted" by the wealthy families and couples aligned with the regime. Years later the same women, then grandmothers, protested and became human rights activists. Their mission was to get the word out to people born between 1976 and 1983 that the people they knew as their mother and father may not be their biological parents. They have had some success in finding the children taken at that time.
Because of our tardiness for our tour, we needed to cut it short. Normally, our docent would have taken us into the San Telmo neighborhood. Before parting ways, she suggested we walk through the neighborhood. We did but by this point, we had lunch on our mind so we did not spend a lot of time there. We came across several cafes along the way but feared they may be a bit touristy.
We continued to walk a few more blocks and stumbled upon a neighborhood steak joint, El Bodegon de Marga, (Indepencia Av. 371, San Telmo). We knew we were in the right place. Outside a chalkboard displayed the menu, inside was reminiscent of a pizza or sub shop in the U.S. In the back was a counter where the cook took orders from the waitstaff. There were tables and booths and a few business people sitting having lunch and chatting with the server. We stepped in and were handed menus – all Spanish. The server spoke no English and we speak only a tiny bit of Spanish. I like to say I know enough Spanish to get me in trouble.
With my limited Spanish, I could translate salad (ensalada) and beef (bife). We knew we wanted steak. When the server returned, we attempted to place our order. Bill pointed to his selection. Our server nodded and smiled. I pointed to mine. She shook her head and frowned then pointed to what I would be having. I nodded and went with it. I have to say I did the right thing. Always go with the house recommendation.
After our meal, we grabbed a cab and made our way to La Boca. I knew in advance that this was a touristy area but did not care because we knew we could catch some music and tango dancers there. With our limited time in Buenos Aires, we would not have time to see a show before our ship departed. This seemed like the best option.
As we exited the cab we caught the smell of charred meat in the air, the sounds of tango music and spotted a couple giving tango lessons outside a café. The atmosphere was festive but relaxed. La Boca is not overly crowded but definitely geared toward the tourists. Souvenir and small artisan shops are abundant. This is a good place to grab a seat in the shade and take it all in, the people, the music, the smells. La Boca is not terribly large. You probably would not spend more than a couple hours there but it is worth the trip. Because it is a tourist spot, taxis are readily available.
With the end of our time in port nearing, we jumped in a cab back to our ship. Although we did not spend a lot of time in Buenos Aires it was enough to know it is a place we would return for a longer stay. That is really the most anyone can expect from a day trip to a large city. So, between getting in everything we wanted to do and knowing we will return I think we made the most of our time in Buenos Aires.
The cruise port is not the Puerto Madero. It is approximately a 5 to 10-minute taxi ride. You can walk it but allow enough time.
Be careful with taxis in La Boca. Make sure the meter is running or you have negotiated the price in advance.

Young's Grand Slam Helps Valpo To 5-5 Tie With Xavier
Cincinnati, Ohio � Valpo and Xavier finished in a 5-5 tie in an 11-inning game that ended due to darkness. Kyle Young�s grand slam with nobody out in the ninth sent the contest into extra innings. Young drove in all five Crusader runs as the senior catcher also delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning. Nick Mazzone went 4-for-5, while Sean Peickert and Young went 2-for-5 each for Valpo (3-5-1).
Young�s grand slam occurred following consecutive walks to Peickert, Marc Boggio and Brandon Sadler off reliever Mike Gallagher. Valpo loaded the bases again with two outs in the ninth, but did not score. The Crusaders also had runners on second and third with one out in the 11th. Relievers Jordan Smolar (2 innings) and Adam Paetznick (1 inning) held the Musketeers scoreless the last three innings.
Tom Starck started for Valpo, pitching 6 innings. The lefty allowed three earned runs on six hits, while striking out four and walking three. Elliott Gibbs allowed one run in 2 innings.
Xavier starter Adam Jahnsen pitched 8 innings, allowing one run and seven hits, while fanning six and walking none. Jay Johnson went 2-for-5 with two RBIs for Xavier (4-6-1).
Valpo plays at Bethel in Mishawaka, Indiana on Friday at 3 p.m. EST. The Crusaders� scheduled home opener is Saturday against Indiana Tech at 2 p.m. CST.

E3 – Day One: Microsoft
Posted by g3tech on July 11, 2007
Boasting strong showings for Halo 3, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4 and Resident Evil 5, tonight's Microsoft press conference in Santa Monica demonstrated a solid Xbox 360 line-up for the rest of the year, but failed to deliver the shocking hardware or software unveilings that often characterize E3 briefings.
Host and Microsoft VP Peter Moore began the evening's presentation by promising that every game shown that night would be releasing before the end of the year, and proceeded to show the eager crowd exactly what we can expect to be playing before 2008 rolls around.
Confirming that Mass Effect will ship this November, Moore opened with a trailer showing gameplay footage from this eagerly anticipated Bioware-developed action RPG. Thanks to its history with the Knights of the Old Republic series, Bioware's console RPG credentials are second to none, and the new trailer certainly put smiles on plenty of faces.
Moore followed the Mass Effect trailer with a run-down of the games we can expect on Xbox Live Arcade over the next few months. Most of the titles he announced were already expected, but there was one surprise: the original Sonic and Golden Axe games went up on Xbox Live Marketplace tonight and are already available for download. More sure-fire hits will follow over the months to come, with classic Hudson multiplayer action game Bomberman and old-school Bungie FPS Marathon (which shares roots with Halo) chief among them.
No doubt eyeing the smash success Nintendo has had playing to a casual crowd unfamiliar with videogame conventions, Microsoft's Jeff Bell – in one of the evening's only truly unexpected announcements – unveiled a new Xbox Live version of the successful "Scene It" board game. Scene It games, if you're not familiar with the series, are trivia games with accompanying DVDs – and the Xbox 360 version will ship with four friendly-looking controllers bearing big red buttons and little else, all for the regular price of a 360 game.
On the PC front, a decent portion of the evening was given over to discussing the future of Microsoft's Games for Windows initiative. Surprising no-one, Gears of War is coming to the PC this year, complete with content that looks suspiciously like it's made up of all the stuff Epic wanted to ship in the original 360 version but couldn't. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinsky demonstrated one of the new fights, against the colossus-like "Brumak" creature that made a brief appearance in the 360 game. Viva Pinata, Rare's half-gardening, half-management game, is also on its way to PC.
Call of Duty 4 also made its debut at the press conference, and impressed many attendees with its graphical realism and sense of atmosphere. Project Gotham Racing 4 was also confirmed as releasing this year, and was demoed live on the amphitheater's vast screen: it'll feature bikes as well as cars, for the first time in the series' history.
Assassin's Creed also raised plenty of eyebrows, although the rough edges in the demo made some wonder quite how close it is to being ready, especially given its fast-approaching November release date. Producer Jade Raymond took us through a complete encounter in the ancient city of Jerusalem, beginning with a dramatic leap from the rooftops into a haycart in a crowded square ("Luckily, no-one saw that," she quipped) and ending with an equally dramatic chase sequence across rooftops and through the game's bustling streets.
Despite Moore's earlier promise, one game on show tonight won't be coming out this year. Resident Evil 5, demonstrated in the form of a brief trailer that'll no doubt be available here very shortly, appears to take place in Africa and has a feel that recalls Black Hawk Down, continuing Resident Evil 4's departure from the series' established zombie norm. It was hard to glean much in the way of gameplay details from the few minutes of footage that were on display, but we liked what we saw.
And the two big rumors that accompanied the run-up to the conference? The score is, one wrong, one mostly wrong. No mention of the widely anticipated price cut was made, and there was absolutely no indication that Microsoft's even considering it. The "grey" console some sharp-eyed fans spotted in a Microsoft-issued photo of a rehearsal session turned out to be nothing more than a dark green Halo 3-themed, HDMI-equipped 360 special edition launching this year with a range of matching accessories. Olive drab is not a sexy color for a console. Or anything else, for that matter.
Still, on balance tonight proved a solid showing for Microsoft, if rather short on surprises or big announcements for some tastes. Tomorrow holds the Nintendo and Sony press events, so check back soon for all the latest details.

This morning, on the way to WaWa for my customary French vanilla decaf coffee, plain donut for dunking, and "The [real news] Washington Post," I turned on Tredmore Road and saw a curious sight — a woman and two young children, sitting on folding chairs near the curb, holding up small handwritten signs. Couldn't make out the message as I drove by — probably young entrepreneurs offering refreshments on a hot summer day, with mom supervising sales.
As I came near, all three held up the signs, hopeful smiles fading as I kept going. Felt a twinge — sorry I'd passed them by — decided to stop on the way back. A boy about five — he reminded me of my grandson Nolan — and his sister, maybe six, were selling ice pops for a dollar, though none were in evidence. Their aunt had encouraged the project to keep them busy while their mom visited their new baby sister in the hospital, still there with birth complications.
I asked for an orange and an apple ice, gave each child a dollar, and they filled the order in the garage where the pops were kept frozen. I was their first and only customer, said the aunt. They'd been discouraged and had started to walk away when I arrived. Now they were delighted, both beaming and dancing around, waving the money. The boy suddenly ran and gave me an enthusiastic hug. Worth more than a dollar. Priceless.
This afternoon Angel and I visited Havre d'Grace again for a walk on the boardwalk, water for her and a coffee ice cream float for me at the Promenade Cafe. After, we relaxed in a gazebo, met a retired kindergarten teacher, Myrtle, and her son Charley, who proudly told me: "Today's my mom's 103rd birthday!" His mother added emphatically: "And I'm in very good health!" Which she certainly seemed to be. Charley told me he's had cancer three times, last time seven years ago, when doctors said he'd only live three months.
You never know who'll you meet when you stop along the way. Or what you'll learn if you do.
Recently realized it's been three months since I wrote "Out Like a Lion." And suddenly it's the Fourth of July — time flies whether or not fun is involved — and I wanted to send my loyal, intrepid followers greetings and good wishes on this anniversary of our nation's independence.
This year we had a four day celebration since today's a Tuesday — and we needed every one of them, many of us weary of the constant turmoil in Washington and the world. Our so-called president seems more unhinged every day while his fans still adore him.
Outrageous tweets. Bizarre behavior. Alternate "facts," Health care plans on life support. Environmental protections dismantled. The Russian question. And more. Our founding fathers would be scandalized and horrified. And we have to worry about Putin in Russia. Kim Jong-un in North Korea. Conflict and unrest in so many countries.
Time for Angel and me to go to bed. She's got an early vet appointment in the morning. Blood work for her Cushing's disease. But she's doing well, thankfully, now about 10 years of age. When we found each other three years ago at Fallston Animal Rescue Movement, they said she was about seven then.
Sorry to say I've had another bout of depression, back in Sheppard Pratt again in June. Out in time for Nolan and Jack's shared 5th and 3rd birthday party in a park — 20 kids, parents, pizza, pinatas, masks. And Maeve will be one year old on July 15th. So good to be home.
When he visited, Kieran brought the tweezers and small hand mirror I'd asked for, and a nurse supervised as I plucked, standing at a sunny window. Non-glass, dim mirrors in bathrooms for safety reasons. No nail clippers or files allowed at all.
I wore same long pants most days, hadn't brought many clothes. One morning, for a change, put on knee length denim skirt. Nurse followed me, tapped me on the shoulder saying: "Please go back to your room and change into something else." Apparently concerned that the narrow back slit would reveal a scandalous peek at my thighs.
By the way, had dinner and stayed overnight at Kieran and Bethany's Saturday night — so good to see them and wonderful grandchildren again. When I went to get car, heavy rain began, dangerous storm on my way home, I was invited to stay. Didn't want to take Kieran's temporary bed in guest room, but I did, gratefully. My son in charge of Nolan and Jack in room next door — Jack sometimes wakes crying. Bethany and Maeve together in another room for nighttime breast feeding.
Kieran slept on futon mattress on floor in dining room. And Sunday morning persuaded me (very reluctant) to work out on exercise bike at the their Y in Baltimore, and added me to their family membership. Knees and insteps a little sore today. But intend to go regularly to Abingdon Y — my son claims exercise boosts spirits.
Collected Angel at Kieran's, drove to noon Mass at St. Margaret's, stayed for blessing of the sick as I've done before, then to moving memorial gathering for Charlotte, my good condo neighbor, who died after bravely enduring several illnesses. Her family served a generous lunch for relatives and friends in our community room, and spoke movingly of their happy times together. I'll miss her in apartment C next door.
Have appointment this afternoon with psychiatrist at Harford Memorial Hospital in Havre de Grace who monitors medications. Not sleeping well with Trazodone at home. And an hour or so after taking 150mg of Efexor with breakfast, start to feel groggy and confused. I keep moving anyway, but it's hard after not much sleep. Had to correct lots of typos on this. Will close for now and take Angel and myself for walk around condo, increasing our melatonin and endorphin levels.

Warcraft Statue Coming * 2016* Pre-Orders will be available today !!!!!
For those of you who love Warcraft Gaming, check out the Statue from Warcraft Movie, coming in *2016*.
Pre-Order now and we'll deliver in November 2016 (estimated date / subject to change).
Based on the movie! From Gentle Giant Ltd. and 3D Systems comes the warlock of the Stormreaver Clan and founder of the Orcish Horde, Gul'dan! This incredible statue was created using digital files provided by Legendary Pictures. This stunning, screen accurate statue has been replicated in every detail. 18-inches tall. Limited edition.
All games in the series have been set in and around the world of Azeroth, a high fantasy setting. Initially, the start of the series focused on the human nations that make up the Eastern Kingdoms, and the Orcish Horde, which arrived in Azeroth via a dark portal, beginning the great wars. The Orcs came from another world, referred to as Draenor, which then turns into Outland, the world that will be shattered into pieces by demonic magics during the events of Warcraft II. Later on in the series the world of Azeroth was expanded, revealing the new continents of Kalimdor, Northrend and Pandaria, allowing the introduction of the Night Elves, Tauren and other major races into the universe. The world of Azeroth also contains the traditional fantasy setting races of elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, and trolls.

Previous: Are You Afraid to Get Rich?
I know most of you are pursuing a life of freedom, seeking to abandon that proverbial cubicle that has become synonymous with prison for a lot of us.
I have been on my journey to financial freedom for the last couple years, i recently launched my blog Half Life Theory, about a month ago, and since then the support has been extremely overwhelming. I never dreamed we'd get this much traction this quickly.
We talk about personal finance, with a slight focus on personal development. We approach financial independence from an abundance mindset, not scarcity. The goal is to be intentional with money, and grow our income while increasing net worth a long the way.
Our ultimate goal with money, is to live so freely, that money doesn't matter and doesn't control day to day decisions.
Thank you Cubert for giving us this opportunity!
My website – The Measure of a Plan (https://themeasureofaplan.com/) – is a collection of free spreadsheets and data sets that will help you realize your financial goals, whether that is tracking your budget, figuring out whether you should rent vs buy your home, or planning for early retirement.
– How much money do I need to retire?
– How long will it take me to get there?
– How much will I need to save and how do my investments need to perform?
For more advanced users, there are also breakeven and scenario analyses that will help you figure out how your results change based on slight tweaks to your assumptions. There is also a 'coast retirement' analysis which will tell you when you'd be able to retire if you stopped saving money right now, letting your current nest egg grow to the required amount.
Cheers, and thanks again Cubert!
Please visit http://www.mindyour2cents.com for posts about financial independence, early retirement, and having a successful career. Our mission is to help people live a richer life. A cool post to check out is http://mindyour2cents.com/the-costly-cup-of-coffee/ because it shows how little purchases can make a huge impact on developing wealth.
Thank you Abandoned Cubicle for the opportunity to post this here!
I blog about personal finance over at Smile & Conquer (https://www.smileandconquer.com). I've worked in finance for the past decade and started blogging to share what I was learning with my fellow millennials. You'll find a mix of general finance tips with a dose of my slightly opinionated self.
I'm not working towards early retirement (I love my job!) but I am pursuing financial independence.
I blog about independence — Financial, Occupational, and Location — by sharing how to start/build/operate a small consulting business. Did that for 40 years (30 full time) and am now semi-retired and fully independent. The journey has been a blast, and I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
If interested, check out the other 250+ posts, and/or the free one hour webinar. If really interested, join me for a free monthly teleconference. Links to both are on the home page at http://www.jumptoconsulting.com.
Thanks Cubert! And now that we just got back to MN from AZ, coffee is on me.
Hey Cubert! Love this idea for a blogroll.
At PF Geeks, I spend my time covering all the areas of personal finance relevant to recent college grads. I started my blog to help recent college grads like myself get ahead with their careers, their money, and their marriages.
I think you and I both put our family first! I know for many couples, money can be a source of tension, conflict, and constant arguing. After a year of spinning our wheels, my wife and I finally got on the same team with our finances and it has made all the difference. My dream is to help 1000 couples get on the same team with their finances, create a financial map for their future, and make it happen. I would LOVE to see a few AC readers make their way over.
I am [HCF] and I blog over at https://www.haltcatchfire.com. I am tackling the topics of personal finance, financial independence, early retirement and life improvements in general and try to do so always with a touch of geekiness.
If you don't realized so far, my blog is not the place where you will get informed about the latest option trading strategies or X budgeting tips which will bring you to the financial Nirvana, but a place where nerdy folks can find some entertaining stuff.
Hey folks, I'm already financially independent, and semi-retired. I got there without deliberately pursuing it, and also with 20+ years of hard work and smart living. I tell stories of my journey on my blog that hopefully you can take lessons away from to help you live smarter and handle your money better.
2 married lawyers with 2 kids trying to FIRE before 50. I have cornered the niche for Pagan/Prepper, reformed dirtbag personal finance. It was a tough fight, but I am finally top of the heap. My blog has spilled out into other areas besides PF.
I blog about whatever I want, but I'm a software engineer and I like math, so my posts tend to stay in those areas. Since finance is mostly numbers, I enjoy that a lot, and recently have been blogging more and more in the financial areas.
It involves the math-side and financial aspect of how soon replacing something that is more energy efficient will pay for itself.
It might be my best post because it's the one post that got shared on the daily top three (is it four now?) Rockstar Finance features.
We are a young family of 4 (going on 5) from the Midwest who tries to live on less than $35k a year.
We started Thrifty Enough at https://thriftyenough.com to help people like you and me cultivate the mindset and financial habits that enable us to establish and achieve our financial goals, recognize when those goals have been reached, and develop and maintain a spirit of generosity all along the way.
The blog is about how we're saving/investing/slaying-debt every month to reach our magical FIRE number. We provide an unfiltered view of numbers that make up our Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth. From time to time, we publish articles that we think will benefit anyone reading them. We are not extreme by any measure of the word, but even without being extreme we try to show that it (FIRE) can be achieved. You might be interested in our blog if you enjoy a slightly different perspective on the FIRE movement – one that won't tell you to be frugal, just smart.
cubert, thanks for the opportunity. i was a happy reader of blogs/commenter, but decided to start https://freddysmidlap.com to learn some mastery of digital publishing and to write a little better. i'm fiddy years old and have worked hard and not so hard for 30 years and am telling what i did right and wrong in finance and life. the life part is more important to me. basically, with my past, if i can get there, almost anyone can.
Tom here from Dividends Diversify. DD is more than just a dividend investment blog, although I cover that area to help interested investors as well as myself. Having achieved financial independence, exited the corporate world and working part-time as a university teacher in early retirement, I also write about my journey to the promise land. And how to enjoy it once you get there.
Thanks for the opportunity Cubert. Moneylogue.com believes that the primary reason for financial problems and failure is not only lack of financial knowledge but also lack of self-discipline and self-control. Empowering our mind is the starting point of achieving financial independence. Most people are spending money because it makes them happy. We need to change that and rewire our brains.
Hello all! So many great blogs I see here on the blogroll already, thanks Cubert. I'll definitely be adding these to my reading list.
The FinancialKale blog is as a journal of success and failures as I journey to early retirement. Stock Market trading is my preferred side hustle. I share my favorite tips, tools, and strategies that I come across as I research different financial ideas and methods.
I run the blog Your Money Geek. We use pop culture and inspiring success stories to make personal finance fun and accessible. Readers will find unique ways to save and make money, and insights on how to be productive.
Thanks Cubert for organizing this Blogroll, I'm a fan of your site! Hipsterfinance.com is site where I talk about real estate investing, Dollar Cost Averaging, saving and investing, and your random off-the-wall subjects, such as the millenials use of a checkbook, er, the lack of it.
I started a different site back in 2015 and wrote over 150 posts, and ended up selling that site. But, I missed the community so much that I had to get back into the FIRE movement. Its a pleasure to be part of your Blogroll 2.0.
Your crazy Dutch FIRE nut here. Love the original approach to a blogroll! Got to add myself here too. Been blogging from september 2015, at that time still working on FIRE. Now able to RE (not yet FI at this point, got to love Mrs CF and our investments to get us there).
Hi! I recently launched Money Stir as a way to think about how to spend money to pursue our dreams. I'm less concerned about number crunching and more about thinking on why we behave the way we do and how to get the most out of life. I write about subjects such as debt, relationships, and personal finance.
I'm a millennial mom writing about financial basics. Its all the things that I wished in had known and how I navigate life now as a low-income mom doing her best to build some financial security for my family.
I'm a huge fan of Abandoned Cubicle and think readers would also benefit from my site, Optimize Your Retirement.
I'm a CPA and personal finance enthusiast. I write about ways to make the most of your money in retirement. From 401k plans to Social Security to investing in dividend-paying stocks, I write broadly about all of it. I try to cover topics from a new perspective.

Manchester United face paying £25-30million for attacker transfer
Manchester United reportedly look to be in the market for a cheap alternative to Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho, with Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga seemingly in their sights.
According to Stretty News, the former Chelsea youngster can leave his current club for around £25-30million this summer, and that truly could be great value for money for an exciting talent.
Boga has shone in Serie A despite struggling to make a first-team breakthrough during his time at Stamford Bridge, and it looks like he may now get a second chance in the Premier League.
United could do with making a change in their attack this summer, and Sancho would perhaps be the ideal target, though he's now become such a big name that it could make the deal more difficult to get done.
Stretty News suggest Boga may be a more realistic target for the Red Devils, and fans would surely take him as an upgrade on struggling stars like Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Daniel James.
It will irritate Chelsea fans if this move goes through, however, with the Blues so often letting talented youngsters go too early, with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah notably leaving Stamford Bridge and later going on to shine for their rivals.
Real Madrid can use Supercopa triumph as...

Amazon's decision to withdraw construction plans for its second headquarters in New York City last month has left intact its plans to build a corporate headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The decision to place its headquarters, dubbed "HQ2," next to the Pentagon and US federal government in the suburbs of Washington DC reflects the web technology and commerce giant's increasing strategic alignment with the forces of US militarism.
Within hours of Amazon announcing its pullout from New York, officials in Northern Virginia released public statements gloating of their abilities to retain the web corporation. "It highlighted a particular community dynamic in a region that has its act together," said Christian Dorsey, Arlington County Board chairman, in a statement quoted by the New York Times. The company will station its offices on a miles-long stretch of land bordering the Pentagon while the neighborhoods Amazon will occupy are to be renamed "National Landing" in honor of the its arrival.
In addition to a $550 million tax giveaway for the company to settle in Virginia and hire over 25,000 workers, with $200 million more promised for exceeding that number, state-funded colleges have set up the equivalent of multi-million dollar feeder programs for the corporate giant.
Both GMU and Virginia Tech's new "innovation" facilities will share state money, with over $375 million in "performance-based" subsidies coming from the government. In addition, Democratic Governor Ralph Northam has pledged a $50 million public investment over 20 years in school technology courses in order to feed the growing Virginia intelligence-tech industry. GMU will also partner with Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) on a new academic program titled ADVANCE, aimed "to help develop future tech talent" in the region, according to the InsideNOVA web publication.
"Virginia's biggest employment growth opportunity in the years ahead will be in tech—from artificial intelligence to cloud computing to cybersecurity, and everything in between," stated Stephen Moret, president and CEO of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to Virginia Tech News of the state's purpose in luring more technology corporations.
Amazon's November announcement for HQ2 represents a major escalation in the deepening integration of the state with academia and private corporations.
Amazon's announcement for HQ2 comes amid a bidding war between the technology giant as well as Google and Microsoft for rights to the DoD's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) project, which will see the winning company gaining control of the internet cloud service housing a number of US military computing needs, a contract worth nearly $10 billion.
In September, Amazon CEO and owner of the Washington Post Jeff Bezos appeared as the keynote speaker for the US Air Force Association's annual conference.
A highly significant aspect of the academic response to HQ2 is that the institutions responding most strongly to the "Amazon challenge" are those whom already enjoy an extraordinarily close relationship with the US military-intelligence apparatus. According to a 2015 investigation by Vice, GMU, Virginia Tech and NVCC all rank among the top 20 most militarized colleges in the United States.
Both GMU and NVCC have established AWS feeder courses. NVCC, the second largest US two-year college and a founding member of the US National Cyberwatch Center with close ties to the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, introduced a cloud service "apprenticeship" last year, training a class comprised entirely of US military veterans on its first run.
According to GMU, its ADVANCE program "works in collaboration with Northern Virginia employers... to fulfill critical workforce needs, a strategy that is on point with [George] Mason's partnership with Amazon." A list of the university's local employment "partners" includes organizations such as the US Marines along with military contractors Boeing, L3 Communications, BAE Systems and others.
In addition, George Mason hosts numerous "Centers of Excellence" for cybersecurity, criminal law and other pursuits connected to the state. Staff at GMU's Center of Excellence for Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence and Cyber Security (C4I) regularly participate in forums and panel discussions at events funded by Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon and other federal contractors tied to the US military and intelligence agencies.
The Hume Center's Twitter account has regularly tweeted its support for HQ2, including calling on January 23 for "a pipeline starting K–12" to "close [the] cyber workforce gap." The tweet mentions Amazon by name.
The integration of US imperialism, academia and corporate America raises the need to expropriate massive companies like Amazon and place them under democratic control so their technology can be harnessed not for war and surveillance but to improve the lives of billions of people.

After years of avoiding Austin during SXSW - getting caught up in the grouchy zeitgeist of locals who can barely stand the traffic and crowds on a regular day I guess - in 2018 I decided to not let that stop me. It was St Patrick's Day, it was Spring Break, and I wanted to soak it all up. The day I had, in the sun, surrounded by happy people, makes me regret avoiding the St Patrick's Day parade during the years I spent in New York.
I suppose it goes against the usual ethos of a street photographer to not want to put themselves into the fray for the sake of photos, but life's all about ebb and flow. It had been some months since my last trip to South Congress, and recently I was shocked to realize that I hadn't been there since the March 17th I'm sharing with you today. It had almost been a calendar year!
It was lively, crowded. Music was everywhere, thanks to SXSW. . . . .
Not everyone was smiling and jolly. . . . . not at the time I photographed them, anyway. Life metaphors!
Riding, walking, rolling, hanging out: it was all happening on South Congress Avenue on St Patrick's Day last year!
South Congress is fun to photograph. It's fun to just be there - wandering, shopping, eating, drinking, hanging out. Austin has a lot of hearts (downtown and Zilker Park are two others) and this is one of them that for me never gets old. I'm thankful that so far the changes happening there haven't altered the character of the place too much. (Long time residents would probably disagree with me; I can only compare it with how it was 8 years or so ago.) I hope the city will keep that in mind as time (and development) races on.
Where am I this year for St Pat's? I'm writing this a few days in advance, so I really don't know. I might be out photographing. I might be at home in my PJs. Wherever I am, I'm definitely wearing at least a little bit of green. And wherever you are, I hope your day is full of happy, and, as the Irish saying goes "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face." And all that good stuff.

Hi friends, today I am here to write an article on how to return back the old and favorite "Alt+F2" gnome runner back. Basically, its not a problem cause currently Ubuntu 11.04 Lucid lynx is in alpha phase and they are making it better. We do have lots and lots of problem with the Unity but they are adding lots and lots of features right now and I am happy with it cause I am able to write some blog articles. And writing blog articles are fun for me.
Ok, now back to the topic. Open "ccsm". If you haven't installed it, install "compizconfig-setting-manager" and then run it. After that, check out the "Gnome Compatibility" option and you favorite runner appears after that. Similarly the menu "Alt+F1" also appears.
Hi, yesterday I had a unknown problem with my synaptic. I looked after different solutions but none matched nor helped me. Then I went for the command line installation. And I saw that there was the problem reading "lock" file located at "/var/lib/apt/lists/lock". To fix this problem please follow the steps below.
Now the file is removed and you will find that your problem has been solved.

TAIE has been an ideal place for me to develop my ability. The academic experiences at TAIE have become my lifelong treasured asset. At TAIE,students can participate in many memorable activities and we have colorful activities the whole year round.TAIE residence offers a household-type dormitory which makes you feel at home. Every roommate is like a family member to me.


Just taking a look at a possible personal project and I wanted to know what are the locations I can enter in the parameters.
Is there a static list of valid locations or is there some magic geo-look up function behind the scenes that attempts to match submitted locations with valid locations within the Wunderground db?
Has anyone got an answer to this question?

'Canadian Ninjas' to compete on altered course reality golf series
Kyla Inaba (L) And Eileen Kelly (Golf Channel)
Golf Channel recently announced a new reality competition series, Altered Course, that combines golf, speed, fitness, teamwork and decision-making as teams navigate re-imagined and extreme golf holes in excess of 700 yards, traversing the natural obstacles and challenging terrain as fast as possible.
Altered Course's inaugural season will take place in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Of particular interest to Canadians, and British Columbians specifically, is the team of Eileen Kelly and Kyla Inaba, calling themselves the Canadian Ninjas.
Teammates at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Kyla is the veteran of the duo when it comes to the game of golf. Kyla took up golf at the age of 15. Eileen only started competing at the age of 20. Kyla was team captain when Eileen enrolled at UBC on a golf scholarship, and took her under her wing.
Both are an inspiration to each other and grew to become best friends during college and following graduation. The two pushed each other to be the best they can be on the golf course while teammates at UBC, and that continues today.
Kyla has competed on both the Australian and Canadian tours, and is looking forward to her 2015 Symetra Tour season. Eileen turned professional to compete on Altered Course Montego Bay and is beginning her professional golf career by competing on mini tours in preparation for stage one of LPGA qualifying this summer.
The two are known for their extreme fitness regimens and often joke that they are training to be ninjas. Their secret ninja abilities should come in handy in this extreme adventure competition.

Slow play won't be an issue on this fast-paced series that features two-person teams competing on extraordinary hole layouts exceeding 700 yards — while racing against time.
"Athleticism and fitness have taken on a much greater emphasis in golf in recent years, and as a result we are seeing more athletes coming up in the ranks of men's and women's golf," said Keith Allo, Golf Channel vice president of programming development and original productions.
"Altered Course is taking this trend to a whole new level, rewarding teams that are the most physically fit and play the best golf. The terrain and re-imagined golf holes will test their golf skills and challenge them both mentally and physically. Pace of play will not be an issue on Altered Course."
The tournament-style competition series will feature eight two-person teams racing against the clock as they take on the twists and turns of these extreme golf holes – one Altered Course hole can incorporate upwards of three traditional golf holes – in an alternate-shot or scramble format.
Teams will be scored on both shots taken as well as time, with weekly eliminations leaving one team left standing as the champion of Altered Course. To capture the action of this innovative format, Golf Channel will utilize Sony Action cameras and aerial footage to track the teams' progress on each challenge, providing rarely-seen golf course camera angles.
Which team will win the inaugural season? Find out June 15 on Golf Channel.
Keep up with #AlteredCourse on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.
