Shoppers Drug Mart weekly flyer and ⭐ catalog Canada
Shoppers Drug Mart flyer., known as Pharmaprix in Quebec, is a Canadian pharmacy and drug store chain. The company headquarters are in Toronto.
In addition to medicines, drugstore items, medical devices and aids, Shoppers Drug Mart also offers home care services.
The company was founded in 1962 by Murray Koffler. In 1983, Koffler sold Shoppers Drug Mart to the Canadian company Imasco. In 2000, the company was sold to a consortium of investment companies (including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) and Bain Capital). [3] In 2013 Loblaw Companies took over the company for the equivalent of 9.1 billion euros. [4] The company was temporarily listed in the S & P / TSX 60 stock index on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Murray Koffler, a pharmacist, inherited from his father two pharmacies in the Toronto, Ontario area. In 1962, he had extended this network to 17 stores and dreamed that it was possible to set up a group of pharmacies of national scope without sacrificing the personalized service offered by the pharmacist in his community. He names his chain Shoppers Drug Mart weekly flyer.
Its pharmacies then followed the concept of the American "drugstore" with a prescription section and another with a soda counter. It eliminates that counter and emphasizes prescription service while introducing everyday product shelves. He continues to acquire pharmacies but develops the concept of franchise by encouraging pharmacists who own their own establishment to join his chain. Shoppers Drug Mart flyer has thus become a group of pharmacist-owners.
To expand, Shoppers Drug Mart acquired Cunningham Drug Stores Ltd in British Columbia in 1970 and other chains in Canada.
In Quebec, to comply with the Charter of the French language, the stores are called Pharmaprix flyers. In 1983, Koffler retired and the chain was sold to Imasco, previously Imperial Tobacco, the largest tobacco company in Canada.
Between 1983 and 2001, chain president David Bloom introduced private labels like Life, Quo and Rialto as well as the Optimum loyalty program. In 2000, was sold to a consortium of investors including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR), Bain Capital, Inc., DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, Charlesbank Capital Partners LLC, the Teachers' Pension Plan of the Ontario, CIBC Capital Partners, as well as directors and pharmacist-owners of Pharmaprix.
On April 27, 2007, Pharmaprix opened its thousandth point of sale. This one is in the Toronto area.
Canadian grocery giant Loblaw announced on July 15, 2013 that it was getting its hands on Shoppers Drug Mart, better known as Pharmaprix in Quebec. The amount of the transaction is estimated at $ 12.4 billion
On January 31, 2018, the Shoppers Optimum and Pharmaprix Optimum points program (in Quebec) ends to make way for the new PC Optimum program. This new program is in fact a merger of the Shoppers Optimum program (in Quebec: Pharmaprix Optimum) and that of PC Plus.

golf-course-ireland
Of the 246 true links courses in the world, almost 20% are in Ireland – so if you love seaside golf, Ireland is your place. A golf break in the Emerald Isle is like stepping into another world… one where great golf takes center stage, where the pace of life is refreshingly sedate and the welcomes really are as warm as the legend suggests. This bucket-list tour of the south-west takes in Payne Stewart's beloved Waterville, Arnold Palmer's remarkable Tralee and the legend that is Ballybunion, as well as Mahoney's Point, Old Head of Kinsale and Dooks. It can be booked as a stand alone trip, or enhanced with added touring through Ireland. A minimum of 8 travelers is required.

Day 1: Arrive Dublin
Arrive at any time.
You will be met on arrival in Dublin, and taken to Killarney and your accommodation for the duration of the trip
Accommodation: Killarney Plaza Hotel or similar
Day 2 - 6: Killarney
Over these 5 days you will play at the following courses:
Adjacent to the Ring of Kerry, Waterville Links is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Ireland. Waterville is consistently rated one of the top five courses in Ireland and one of the top twenty links courses in the world. Many professionals, such as Tiger Woods, have visited Waterville to polish their skills prior to the British Open.
The combination of sand dunes, native grasses, firm fairways, sod faced bunkers and subtle putting surfaces at Waterville results in a perfect links course.
Every hole at Waterville Links is a masterpiece. Elevated tee boxes, which continue to rise as play progresses, allow players to see the flag in the distance, often tucked behind cascading dunes. The beginning holes are open over wide fairways, unlike the back nine, where dunes are larger and more prevalent.
"Waterville has to be one of the greatest golf courses ever built," said three-time British Open Champion Henry Cotton. "If it were located in Britain, it would undoubtedly be a venue for the British Open. I have never seen a more consistent succession of really strong and beautiful golf holes than here."
BALLYBUNION - OLD
Ballybunion is one of the most highly regarded courses on the southwest coast of Ireland, and for good reason. This particular stretch of coast is home to some of the largest, most formidable dunes seen on links land anywhere and provide a thrilling challenge. Golfers will want for nothing at this simple, yet magnificent links course.
The Old Course at Ballybunion is an unyielding test of skill and endurance. It wastes no space on weak holes and, instead, uses large dunes and ruthless bunkering to challenge ambitious golfers.
"If sheer pleasure is the yardstick, then Ballybunion's Old Course gets my vote as the No. 1 in the world," said famous English golf writer Peter Dobereiner. Golfers enjoy gloriously green hills, rolling sandhills, and breathtaking views of the Atlantic as they are pushed to their limits on the Old Course. The Old Course exudes a majestic feel that simply cannot be compared to any other course on earth. With beautifully contoured fairways that tumble down through a blanket of grassy dunes, it's no wonder these challenging holes have been consistently rated among the top courses in the world.
In terms of scenery, Tralee Golf Club has it all: a rocky harbour, a castle ruin, beaches, and last but not least, a stunning golf course. The course is historically significant on many levels, as a vessel from the Spanish Armada sailed by the 17th hole in 1588, and the scenery of the first and second holes were featured in the beach scenes of the 1970 Academy Award Winning Film Ryan's Daughter. All the caddies at Tralee Golf Club are also members of the club, making for a relaxed and sociable atmosphere during your golf break. Although the course was built and designed by Arnold Palmer, the world-renown golfer and businessman claimed that he had some outside help, commenting: "I may have designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine." Tralee was the first European course to be designed by Palmer and is one of the most beautiful. While the view may be a peaceful one, playing the course most certainly is not. Holes become increasingly intimidating as golfers make their way towards the back nine, which are dominated by large dunes. Yet, as prodigiously daunting as it may seem, masters of the traditional bump-and-run method will be rewarded on this enjoyable links course.
KILLARNEY - MAHONY'S POINT
With 36 holes on offer, there's no shortage of great golf at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club in this glorious enclave on the north shore of Lough Leane. The Killeen course – a long-time host of the Irish Open – might be the senior partner, but don't overlook Mahony's Point, which dates back to the late 1930's. The course was designed by no less than Sir Guy Campbell – best known for his work at Rye, West Sussex and Machrihanish – in the late 1930s. The course was eventually split in the 1970s and extended in two directions to help create the new Killeen course but as the club itself says "many feared a great course would be lost, but instead two fine modern courses were born". Always in immaculate condition and playing through serene parkland, Mahony's Point is famed for its trio of closing holes that culminates in a remarkable 18th. Like Royal St David's and Lindrick, the course rather unusually closes with a par-3, this one measuring no less than 180 yards and demanding a carry over water. As the course's signature hole, it's a fitting finale to a unhurried and tranquil round.
OLD HEAD OF KINSALE
A perennial favourite with Irish and international golfers alike, Old Head is surely laid out on one of the most dramatic landscapes in Ireland. Located on a narrow peninsula in Co Cork, Old Head is almost completely surrounded by water and thus has some of the most stunning vistas found on a golf course anywhere in the world. The course, which is set up on a daily basis, was designed by an impeccable team of golf professionals, including Australian course architect Paddy Merrigan, building contractor Haulie O'Shea, and former Irish golf professionals, the late Dr. Joe Carr and Eddie Hackett. The Old Head is designed as a walking course that encourages all visitors to walk the links with their Caddie. Stretching more than three kilometres into the ocean, the course is relatively new, but does not feel manufactured at all, instead feeling like it's woven seamlessly into the natural environment. Standing on the 2nd tee box, for example, golfers will meet the edge of a cliff that will undoubtedly cause every player's jaw to drop. Even though inner holes lack the same excitement of holes that follow the cliff's edge, fairways still moves gracefully between ancient runes, rocks and pampas grass.
Dooks Golf Club was founded in 1889 and is one of the oldest, most charming Links in Ireland. The charm, the atmosphere and the superb seaside setting of a truly traditional golf links makes Dooks a must-play for any fan of coastal golf. Originally a nine-hole course, the members themselves designed and built nine extra holes back in the late 1960s. More recently, Martin Hawtree has improved on that work, and the result is stunning. The links is set out on one of the three stretches of sand dunes at the head of Dingle bay. In the immediate foreground are the sand dune peninsulas of Rossbeigh and Inch and just a few miles away the whitewashed houses of Cromane fishing village provide an eye catching distraction.
Also in view are the famed McGillycuddy's Reeks. To the southwest are the lovely valleys and hills of Glenbeigh, and across the bay to the north are the Slieve Mish and Dingle Mountains. Dooks golf links provides a true experience with nature, which exists through the flora, birds, and other animals that inhabit its environment. The dune's beautiful wild flowers sprout into action in the spring and summer months, and skylarks are often seen and heard flying above the course. Perhaps the best animal sighting is the Natterjack Toad, a rare and preserved species that has become the emblem of Dooks Golf Club.

Let's all face it - at times can you really be bothered to sit and put a full face of make up on? I'll quite happily hold my hands up and say that 75% of the time I don't have the time/energy/patience for it. Normally I'll gravitate to products which can be used for a number of different things. MAC Harmony Blush (£16.50) is one product which I've had for a good year, used it now and again, however recently this has been a staple in my make up routine.
To look at this, all what you'd think it's brown and it looks like mud. That would be correct, however this beige-brown matte blush can be used for a 1001 (well four) different things. Like the majority of MAC blushes this is highly pigmented and can easily be built up or blended out depending on whether your tanned or not. This was initially bought to be used for contour and primarily this is what I use it for. However this can also be used as a blush (obviously) but also it reminds me of MAC Matte Bronze Bronzer - so this can also be used as a bronzer.
Finally if that wasn't enough to make you rush out and buy this - it could also be used as an eye shadow. More so as a transition shade for your crease. I feel like I've wasted this blusher for having it so long but never using it to its full potential. Next time you're at a MAC counter - get swatching of this. What multi use products do you swear by? Oh and apologies for the barrage of face powder related posts, only just clicked on there. Can you tell I'm going through a powder phase?
This blush looks gorgeous I really need a good all-rounder so this would definitely work for me.
Oh, that blush looks amazing. I'm a sucker for these darker matte shades and use Coppertone day in and day out. I need to give this a try. Thanks!

The MTV docu-series pulls 2.5 million viewers in its return, winning the day in its sought-after 12-34 demographic.
The last time MTV aired an original episode of Catfish, the series was riding a wave of new-found cultural relevance -- courtesy of the Manti Te'o scandal.
And while the docu-series had no such free publicity when it returned to the cable network on Tuesday night, its audience remained intact. The sophomore opener of Catfish: The TV Show averaged 2.5 million viewers during its 10 p.m. premiere. It also topped the day's cable offerings with a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49, and, in the network's coveted persons 12-34 demographic, its 2.2 rating gave it the best showing of the day across cable.
Compared to its series premiere last November, it was down by small measures -- though that episode (2.7 million viewers, 2.6 12-34 rating) had the benefit of a Teen Mom 2 lead-in. Last night's premiere aired after a block of repeats.
The first season of Catfish, which averaged a 2.3 rating among viewers 12-34, also enjoyed a significant DVR bump, rising 29 percent in the demo after Live+Three Day returns.

Epiphone Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary Jack Casady Bass
Epiphone presents the Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary Jack Casady Bass Outfit commemorating the all-time best selling hollowbody electric bass designed by Jack Casady, co-founder of the Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Featuring a Flame Maple Veneer top finished in Wine Red plus a custom gig bag, deluxe leather strap and certificate of authenticity hand signed by Jack Casady.
Beginnings: The Bass that Jack Built: When Epiphone and Jack Casady first released Jack's signature bass in 1997, it was the culmination of years of experimentation by the innovative bassist to create an instrument that had superb electric tone but also had the response of an acoustic bass.Casady is one of the rare rock bassists known by both fans and players for his signature tone. And like fellow innovators (and fans) Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney, Casady became a bass player after years of study on other instruments. "My first teacher was a big band guitarist named Harry Vorhees," Casady told Epiphone.com. "Later on I took from a number of guitarists; one was Bill Harris who was the guitarist for the Clovers. He had studied with a guy who was a student of Andres Segovia."
The Perfect Bass Tone: "When I first started playing, I ran across a short scale semi-hollow bass," said Casady "Despite lacking some low end, I really enjoyed the semi-hollow nature of that bass and over the years tried to capture that characteristic." In 1997, Casady's hard work paid off with the release of the Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass, which has since become a favorite for pros around the world. "I did a lot of homework and bench testing and finally when it clicked in right, it was great. The workmanship that's coming in on these instruments is just super."
Discover the Jack Casady Signature Bass: The new Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary Jack Casady Bass Outfit has a maple body with a Flame Maple Veneer top in a commemorative Wine Red finish with single-ply white binding. The hand-set mahogany neck has a 34″ scale with a rosewood 12″ radius fingerboard, a 1.6535″ nut, and 2-ply black/white truss rod cover with "20th Anniversary" silkscreened in white along with Jack's trademark signature in gold on the headstock. The rosewood fretboard has pearloid "Trapezoid" inlays and 20 medium jumbo frets.
Custom Wound Pickup: The Ltd. Ed. Jack Casady Bass Outfit features Jack's custom designed JCB-1 low impedance, low output pickup, which employs a three-position transformer to shape the frequency response. "I went to work on the pickup and it took almost two years to develop," says Casady. Controls include a Master Volume, Master Tone with Black "Top Hats" knobs with metal inserts plus Epiphone's custom 3-Position VariGain™ Switch for additional tone shaping (50, 250, and 500 ohms).
Rock Solid Epiphone Hardware: Every Jack Casady Signature Bass features nickel hardware, classic style 19:1 ratio tuners, and a 3-point adjustable bridge exactly like what the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer uses on-stage. "Every year I get two new instruments that I take out on the road," says Casady. "No ringers. I have none that are set up a special way or anything like that and they are great." The Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary Jack Casady Bass Outfit includes a padded gigbag with the 20th Anniversary "Jack Casady 20" logo and a Hand-Signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Limited Lifetime Warranty: All Epiphone instruments come with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee and Gibson's world famous 365/24/7 Customer Service. Visit your favorite Authorized Epiphone Dealer or visit Epiphone.com today and discover what many consider to be the greatest custom signature bass ever made, the Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary Jack Casady Bass Outfit!

Return to the Jubilee!
The Hot Tuna gang is excited to announce the return of Acoustic/Electric Hot Tuna(2 sets) to the 2017 Dark Star Orchestra Jubilee! The folks at All Good Presents put on a fantastic show. And this year's lineup is stellar! Check it out
Looking Forward to a New Year!
Happy New Year! What a long strange trip 2016 has been!
The past year has been simultaneously long and short. Of course, the election fracas made the year drag along. And the deaths of Prince, David Bowie, Glenn Fry and others gave us all heavy hearts. The passing of Paul Kanter and Signe Anderson hit very close to home. That rocked the house for sure.
All that made the highlight of 2016 all the more special and rewarding. It was a honor to accept the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of Jefferson Airplane, our band mates, our brothers and sisters and all of our fans.
It has always been the music that helped us move forward, got us through the years and brought us closer together. I am grateful for the music. Here's to making music in 2017. Hot Tuna gets back at it in February with some shows in my neighborhood, the West Coast! Much Peace and Love for all of you in 2017!

Chloe Piene's work often depicts the body and its skeleton. Her drawings spindle extremities into thin loops of line and her sculptures stack skulls on slabs of clay. The fragile twisting of the body is executed in luxuriously rich materials, which underscore the virtuosity of Piene's hand and vision. Skeletons on vellum make physical mortality transcendently transparent, and beautiful charcoal lines mark out the uncanny grins of skull-faces.

Musical runs through this weekend
March 9, 2011 — by Anika Jhalani
Students perform in 'Jekyll and Hyde.'
"Jekyll and Hyde" and Shakespeare. Both are famous and have been adapted into blockbuster hits. This year the drama department will be performing both in the spring musical and the student productions, respectively.
First up on the schedule is "Jekyll and Hyde." Based on the novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Lewis Stevenson, the stage version was originally produced by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn.
"The musical is the exception to anything we've ever done before," said senior Mikaela Burton. "It's about good and evil, alternate personalities, and it's really edge-of-your-seat theatre."
The show will feature 40 cast members, and many veteran performers are looking forward to this new kind of show.
"I am excited to play Jekyll's fiance in the show, a role I am new to and glad to learn," said junior Madison Emery. "I have seen a lot of students being introduced to new roles, so this show has definitely expanded the types of character played by each performer."
Senior Jae Lee will play the lead role as Jekyll and Hyde in the musical. Junior Madison Emery will play his fiance Emma, senior Hanna Harter will play Lucy Harris, Chaz Main will play John Utterson, and David Mandel will play Sir Danvers Carew. The show is directed by Jeff Hicks, an actor who is well known in the local theatre community.
There will be three shows held March 10-13. Shows take place at 7:30 p.m. in the McAfee Center; a 2:30 matinee occurs on March 13. Tickets will be $12 for students and $15 for adults.
"We are definitely approaching crowd-friendly hits this year," said sophomore Sasan Saadat, who is participating in both productions. "'Jekyll and Hyde' and Shakespeare are both popular and I think it's nice to have a crowd familiar with the production."
Aside from "Jekyll and Hyde" the drama department will be performing mutliple student productions. Saadat will perform in one of these, a three-man show of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)."
The student production is an amalgamation of characters and plays by Shakespeare, put together and performed by three actors who will each embody different characters. Although a newcomer to drama, Saadat will be working alongside veteran performers Josh Harris and David Mandell.
"I think it's really nice to get involved in drama and see all the work that goes into each show," said Saadat. "It's especially interesting to get involved in a student production; I am learning a lot from David and Josh. I feel really lucky starting my career in drama alongside such an interesting case, in such an intimate setting."
There will be various student productions, including "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)" directed by Jay Lee, Black Comedy directed by David Mandell, and Laramie Project directed by Chaz Main performed on March 31 and April 1 in the Little Theatre.

A prison inmate in the canton of Vaud was fined for selling illegal drugs to other prisoners, a report says.
The man was caught with 45 grams of marijuana and hashish in his cell at the Orbe penitentiary, 20 Minutes reported online on Thursday.
According to police, the inmate was selling the drugs to other prisoners "in need", the newspaper reported.
He was recently fined 200 francs and the equivalent of 15 days of pay for consuming and trafficking narcotics in prison.
The incident occurred at the EPO, a penitentiary complex with a capacity to house 260 detainees in individual cells.
The complex consists of separate buildings to house nigh-risk and low-risk offenders.
It is not clear what offence the drug dealer was originally incarcerated for.
"The (drug) products were brought in by visitors or thrown in from the outside," Sylvie Bula, chief of the Vaud penitentiary service, is quoted as saying by 20 Minutes.
"There was no trafficking on a large scale," Bula insisted.
Certain amounts of illegal drugs can be hidden in the bodies of inmates, she indicated.

The Whispering Touch
Created: September 25, 2013
For Adam Bratvold, the son of the father-and-son team behind Whispering Turbines in Hamilton, Mont., this summer has been extremely busy and will continue that way up until he catches his flight home from the Super Boat International (SBI) Key West World Championships in November.
After running into Bratvold in Missouri at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout last month and then again in California at San Diego Bayfair earlier this month, I had to find out for myself just how hectic Bravtold's summer had been since I knew Whispering Turbines was also supplying the turbine engines for the Qatar Team's new 50-foot Mystic Powerboats catamaran along with a couple of other offshore pleasure boats.
"Whispering Turbines has been very busy the last couple of years, not only with the boats and aviation, but also with the oil fields," said Bratvold, whose father, Tracy, started the business in 1989 with his wife, Cindi. "We're building a lot of engines for water pumps and frac units and stuff like that. Business has been good and we're still upholding our great reputation for putting out one of the best products as far as gas turbines are concerned."

This article will guide you through the integration of a native payment experience in your mobile shop.
iOS and Android SDK provide tools to help you with steps 2 and 3.
For steps 1 and 4 you will need to communicate to your own backend API. These steps are not included in SDK API due to security reasons.
You are welcome to get started with our demo application. You can start making test transactions without any efforts including setting up a server, we provide a test integration server for you. Please note, that it is configured for demo purposes only.
The demo app is provided along with SDK since version 2.5.0.
NOTE: Before running the application, make sure SDK files are copied to the demo app folder. Find more details in the readme.txt file.
Drag and drop OPPWAMobile.framework & OPPWAMobile-Resources.bundle to the "Frameworks" folder of your project.
Make sure "Copy items if needed" is checked.
.bundle file is in "Copy Bundle Resources".
NOTE: If you integrate SDK to the Swift app, please see the Apple guide Importing Objective-C into Swift to check how to import Objective-C headers correctly.
Download the Mobile SDK for Android.
Import oppwa.mobile.aar into your project (File > New > New Module > Import .JAR/.AAR Package).
Then, reference it from your application (File > Project Structure > Dependencies > Add Module Dependency).
Endpoint 2: Getting result of payment.
See detailed instruction in our guide "Set Up Your Server".
Your app should request a checkout ID from your server. This example uses our sample integration server; please adapt it to use your own backend API.
First you need to create an OPPPaymentParams object and initialize it with collected shopper payment details, it's required for processing a transaction.
NOTE: To learn more about shopper result URL refer to Asynchronous payments guide.
You can also validate each parameter separately before creating an OPPPaymentParams object.
First you need to create an PaymentParams object and initialize it with collected shopper payment details, it's required for processing a transaction.
The system is able to automatically detect the brand by analyzing credit card number. The feature can be activated in BIP at 'Administration' -> 'Processing' -> 'Processing Settings' -> 'Activate automatic brand detection for missing brands of credit card accounts'.
Since the mSDK version 2.25.0 you can create OPPCardPaymentParamsCardPaymentParams without specifying a payment brand.
Use special constructor for it -initWithCheckoutID:holder:number:expiryMonth:expiryYear:CVV:error:CardPaymentParams(String checkoutId, String number, String holder, String expiryMonth, String expiryYear, String cvv) or just pass empty string instead of payment brand in the standard constructor.
Create a transaction with the collected valid payment parameters. Then submit it using OPPPaymentProvider method and implement the callback.
otherwise transaction will contain redirect url, shopper should be redirected to this URL to pass additional checks on payment provider side (e.g. pass 3D Secure check).
NOTE: To support asynchronous payments you need to make additional changes in your app. See Asynchronous payments tutorial for more details.
Create a transaction with the collected valid payment parameters. Then submit it using PaymentProvider method and implement the callback.
NOTE: To avoid a 'javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted' on the devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and below you need to call installIfNeeded() method of the ProviderInstaller. You can place this call in your first Activity. See more info here.
NOTE: The getErrorInfo() method of the PaymentError can be used to get more details about the error.
Finally your app should request the payment status from your server (again, adapt this example to your own setup).
To get resourcePath you should make additional request to the server.
To get the resourcePath you should make the additional request to the server.
The sandbox environment only accepts test payment parameters.
You can find test values for credit cards and bank accounts in our Testing Guide.
1. Talk to your account manager to get the live credentials.
2. Adjust the server type to LIVE in your initialization of OPPPaymentProvider.
3. Change your backend to use the correct API endpoints and credentials.
2. Adjust the server type to LIVE in your initialization of PaymentProvider.


Part One: Self-Control People who don't consider themselves very spiritual may be surprised to know that the Bible talks about athletics. It doesn't tell us which team God cheers for. It doesn't tell us strategies to win a game. It doesn't tell us which team will win the World Series, World Cup, or Super Bowl….
CAN TEAM LOYALTY GO TOO FAR?


On Tuesday, America took a tough blow.
Many hoped that election day we would turn a corner.
They expected voters to repudiate the President responsible for jacking up the national debt, wasting money on Solyndra-type "investments," and killing projects like the Keystone XL pipeline.
It seems the electorate chose instead to reward him with a brand new term, while in schizophrenic fashion, electing a House of Representatives diametrically opposed to the President's agenda.
So the question now becomes, what's next?
Global warming alarmism is back and more dangerous than ever.
With Obama now immune to future voters, there remains no more reason to for him to compromise than he has in the past. He may have to deal with Congress on budget, but expect an onslaught of executive orders, mandates, and onerous regulations to pour forth from his administration. Expect EPA to wreak havoc on our economy. They've been holding cap-and-trade, a carbon tax, a renewed ban on offshore drilling and new regulations to stifle fracking until after the election and they are already on the fast track.
Perhaps most troubling is that Obama can finally push the United States into a renewed effort towards an international global warming treaty that could saddle our energy sector with unprecedented UN mandates, impose huge burdens on tax and ratepayers and strike a crippling blow to our economy and way of life.
UN talks on a treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol open in Qatar in just a few weeks. They conclude on December seventh. There is real danger that this year, Pearl Harbor Day will mark a new day of infamy.
Remember when a live microphone picked up the President of the United States telling the President of Russia to, "give me space….. This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." We believe the President ordered his staff to ensure there were no live microphones around and then told the UN, carbon profiteers and a host of left-wing climate pressure groups the exact same thing.
When she was Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher used to talk about the "socialist ratchet." When the left gets power, government gets bigger. They give the ratchet a hard turn. When the damaging effects of their policies become apparent and the voters eventually turn them out, the ratchet clicks back without effect and government stays big.
Political change will come again. It always will. But will it be accompanied by less government and meaningful policy reform? What can be done to minimize the damage in the meantime?
At CFACT, we have work to do.
To that we answer, "Yes it can." In fact, it must.
We're optimists. Our children and grandchildren deserve a constructive tomorrow. We're doubling our efforts and expect to triumph in the end.
Facts, being right on the merits, and pressing on despite setbacks count for something. And while things have taken a turn against us this past week, we will bounce back and score successes in the near future – count on it.
Mr. Rucker pointed out dire effects from Presidnet Obama's energy policies in future years. This information was known for years. It took a particular type of Republican candidate to ignore these killing issues and let President Obama set the agenda for issues in this election and assure a victory. Mitt Romney was not an engineer and had limited knowledge about climate science and energy policies. His advisers in these areas also had limited knowledge about these issues.
We will pay dearly for these mistakes the next four years. All energy advocates need to work hard educating the public and putting pressure on Congress to slow down the this charge toward economic ruin.
As per the previous commenter, astute politicians dont make these kind of mistakes 2 elections in a row. So the logical conclusion is that the RNC and the Republican Party is no longer led by astute politicians. The correct course is to dump the RNC and throw all our conservative support behind the Tea Party. When they were taking the lead we made huge inroads in 2010. When they were forced into the back seat we lost in 2012. These kinds of mistakes can no longer be tolerated if we dont want America to become the Gulag of the West!!

How To Start Your Career In Games...
0:01Skip to 0 minutes and 1 secondNow that you've completed your own evaluation, this will be very useful for you when it comes to reviewing potential jobs. But also, it'll tell you one of the most important things we can share on this course. No one is perfect. I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect candidate. No. There are too many elements, I think, to capture the perfect. Yeah, exactly. It's easy to get discouraged about the gaps in your experience, but don't worry. That's true for literally everyone. The people actually doing the hiring know that. Every expert we spoke to said that there's no such thing as perfect. There's a bigger point here about a career in the games industry.
0:41Skip to 0 minutes and 41 secondsIn a games job, you never stopped learning. Games programmers have to learn new tool sets, techniques, or code libraries. Games artists also have to learn new techniques or styles for new characters, levels, and environments. Games designers have to develop new designs to keep games fresh and original. Games producers continually learn to solve new problems to deliver games on time. So it literally does not matter if you're not perfect. What matters is how you adapt. All our developers said they had gaps before they applied. But they also all said they made a plan to plug those gaps. Let's call it your "action plan."
1:27Skip to 1 minute and 27 secondsAn action plan is your personal strategy that will help you fill some gaps you've identified in your skills and experience. Examples from an action plan might be extending your portfolio, developing games at the weekend, or doing work experience. Next, we'll find out how to create an action plan.
No one developer will have all the skills, whether technical or professional, for every job. So how do they go about identifying and addressing their skills gaps?
Next week, you'll find out how to do this by creating an action plan.
In the meantime, have you started to think about ways you could plug gaps in your CV? Feel free to share them here.

Q: Foreground service getting killed from Oreo I have written a foreground service which is working properly for all OS version lower than Oreo. From Oreo application process is getting killed after 5 minutes of closing and removing the application from recents.
As per android developer documentation for background execution limitations  OS should not kill application for which a foreground service is running and notification is shown in notification window.
As per guidelines on developer documentation. I followed below steps to start foreground-service.

*

*Foreground service is started with startForegroundService() method

*Within 5 sec after starting service a notification is shown for the service using startForeground()

*Return START_STICKY from onStartCommand() of service
I am facing this issue on following phones:

*

*OnePlus 5T

*Vivo

*Oppo

*Mi

What I tried to prevent foreground-service from being destroyed?

*

*Disable the battery optimization for the application by showing
system dialog to user to disable doze mode.

What I tried to restart the foreground-service?

*

*Used AlarmManager to restart the service from onTaskRemoved().
Please check this link for details.

As per my understanding these manufacturers have customized the AOSP and are not respecting the OS guidelines for allowing foreground service to run. May be these manufacturers have done this because of giving long battery life time to users.

Please share your suggestion if you have faced similar type of issue and managed to find a solution for this.

A: I've analyzed the issue on OnePlus, as I'm in the same situation as you. As I see currently, there is no solution. OnePlus clearly follows a bad practice.
As they haven't released the source code which kills processes in this manner, I downloaded a OnePlus ROM (I choose OnePlus 5T 5.1.5), extract it, find the .class which does this (OnePlusHighPowerDetector.class in services.vdex), decompile it, and tried to find out what's going on.
You can find a version of this class here (it is not by me, and maybe it is not the same version that I've used): https://github.com/joshuous/oneplus_blobs_decompiled/blob/master/com/android/server/am/OnePlusHighPowerDetector.java
Unfortunately, the most important functions aren't decompiled successfully. But we can analyze the bytecode anyway. Here's what I've found:

*

*OnePlus kills background processes (it seems that it doesn't matter whether it has a foreground service or not) without mercy. Almost all of them. It doesn't really matter, how little CPU resources are used. My app uses less than 1%, and it gets killed.

*If the app is pinned in the recent app list (determined by a list of com_oneplus_systemui_recent_task_lockd_list), it doesn't get killed. So, the user can save the app by pinning it. But it is inconvenient for them.

*Oneplus provides a list of processes, which they don't kill. This list is in oneplus-framework-res.apk/res/values/array.xml, with the key string-array name="backgroundprocess_detection_app_whitelist". This list mostly contains map and fitness applications1.

*Maybe there are other factors which can save a process being killed, I haven't analyzed the issue further. If you have the time, check out OnePlusHighPowerDetector.java.

Here are the steps needed to decompile a .vdex file:

*

*use Vdex Extractor to create a .dex from .vdex (maybe you'll need to use the --ignore-crc-error option)

*use JADX to decompile a .dex (this is currently the best decompiler in my opinion), or use dex2jar to create a .jar from .dex, and use any decompiler to decompile the .jar

1Rant: this shows how bad the current situation is. OnePlus, is this really the solution? You've chosen 10-15 applications, which can run in the background, and you don't care about all the other ones? How can one create a new fitness/map/music player application, which works safely on your device?

A: I spent several hours solving this issue. Xiaomi phone, Oreo. I have solution, 2 steps:

*

*Xiaomi needs additional permission: Settings->Permissions->Automatic startup. There is a list of applications that are allowed to be started automatically. BOOT_COMPLETED and START_STICKY is NOT enough. Facebook, Outlook, Skype + my app is listed here. I do not know how to ask user programatically to grant this permission.

*Service gets recreated but NOT restarted, even if you return START_STICKY. After you kill the app (swipe out from running apps), onCreate is called again but NOT onStartCommand. Try Log.d() to see it. I moved all the logic into onCreate EXCEPT creating the notification, calling startForeground() and returning START_STICKY. This has to remain in onStartCommand().
Batery optimization must be disabled for the application too, but it was required by previous version of Android already.
Now my service keeps running or is recreated with 100% success within few seconds.

A: I fixed this on my Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G device by adding the foregroundServiceType attribute to my service in the manifest:
<service android:name=".RunningService"
        android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"/>

Now my service stays alive.

A: use startForeground(id, notification) method inside your service.
User should know that something, that cant be killed by system, is working in background, so android system should inform user with a notification, so user knows exactly what is killing his battery.
By the way you can use WakeLock.
 PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager)getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
 PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
 TAG_FOR_DEBUG);
 wakeLock.acquire()

But read about WakeLock before using it.
And don't forget to disable it when your work is finished.
You can check current enabled wake locks using adb shell dumpsys power command in the Terminal

A: I faced the same issue in my OnePlus3 for my app. Then I noticed these lines in logcat, every time my app and Foreground service were killed:
10-12 18:30:40.644  1439  1519 I OHPD    : [BgDetect]force stop com.mycompany.MyAndroidApp (uid 10905) level 0

Then searching the internet for the keywords 'OHPD    : [BgDetect]chkExcessCpu level: 1 doKills: true' took me to this SO answer:
Prevent background service from being killed due to "detect excessive cpu on forked process"
As suggested in that answer and the GitHub issue, Locking / Pinning my app prevented Oxygen OS from killing my app (MainActivity and Forground Service).

A: in oneplus 6t, run this adb command
setting put system com_oneplus_systemui_recent_task_lockd_list {com.topjohnwu.magisk/a.c#0}{com.mycompany.MyAndroidApp/com.mycompany.MyAndroidApp.MainActivity#0}
prevent  killing com.topjohnwu.magisk and com.mycompany.MyAndroidApp

If you are staying in St Andrews, or are planning a day out in the East Neuk of Fife, we are
easy to find and easy to get to!
From St Andrews - Take the B939 towards Ceres and just after "David Russell Hall" turn right onto the Strathkinness High Road. Follow this road into Strathkinness, (looking at the marvelous views to your right!) and The Tavern is at the top of the rise at the crossroads. Alternatively, follow the B939, the "Low Road", and turn right at the Strathkinness crossroads, The Tavern is at the top of the hill on your left.
From Dundee - Cross the Tay Bridge to the south and follow signs to St Andrews. After the roundabout at Guardbridge, take the next right turn at "The Hungry Horse" cafe, signposted for Strathkinness. The Tavern is on the crossroads at the top of the hill.
From Cupar - Follow signs to St Andrews and take the right turn, signposted for Strathkinness, half a mile before Dairsie. Bear right at the church, over Dairsie Bridge and follow the road round to the left (This is a twisty road so be careful!). Follow this road for 4 miles and The Tavern is on the right by the crossroads.
Use the map functions to get your own personal directions to the Tavern!
To get you in the mood for some food and drink, why not spend some time seeing some of the historical parts of the village, not the least being The Tavern itself!.
Up until the middle of the 1940's there were at least two pubs in Strathkinness. Today, there is only the one - at the top of the Main St where two turnpike roads met and where there was a toll bar from about 1811 to 1865. Part of the old weighbridge for weighing coal and stones from the quarries can still be seen in the wall of "The Tavern" on the Main Street side and on the High Street side there is a large iron ring where horses were tethered at one time.
Just to the south of the village, across the Low Road towards Drumcarrow Hill, lies Magus Muir over which the old Bishops Road ran and here, on 3 May 1679, nine Presbyterian fanatics hacked to death James Sharp, Archbishop of St Andrews and Primate of All Scotland. Sharp had thrown his lot in with the Episcopalians, an act that the Covenanters considered was the act of a Judas. Today, as part of a gentle woodland walk with its own car park, a cairn marks the spot where the archbishop was murdered and nearby are the graves of one of the assasins and the Covenanters that were captured at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679 and executed in revenge for the murder and for rebellion.
