Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics:
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Unlevered Free Cash Flow. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because they eliminate certain items that affect period-over-period comparability and provide consistency with past financial performance and additional information about our underlying results and trends by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. This information should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items or events being adjusted. In addition, other companies may use different measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided at the end of this press release for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We do not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty to predict certain items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures; in particular, the effects of stock-based compensation expense, taxes and amounts under the exchange tax receivable agreement, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and restructuring and transaction expenses. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
We define Adjusted Operating Income as income from operations plus (i) impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue, (ii) amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, (iii) equity-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring and transaction-related expenses, and (v) integration costs and acquisition-related compensation. We define Adjusted Operating Income Margin as Adjusted Operating Income divided by the sum of revenue and the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue.
We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted Operating Income less (i) interest expense, net, (ii) other (income) expense, net, excluding TRA liability remeasurement expense (benefit), and (iii) income tax expense (benefit) including incremental tax effects of adjustments to arrive at Adjusted Operating Income and current tax benefits related to the TRA. We define Adjusted Net Income Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided from operating activities less (i) purchases of property and equipment and other assets, plus (ii) cash interest expense, (iii) cash payments related to restructuring and transaction-related expenses, and (iv) cash payments related to integration costs and acquisition-related compensation. Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since, among other things, we have mandatory debt service requirements.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

Dr. Donald van der Vaart named to judicial post
July 2, 2021 North State Journal Staff Article, News
Dr. Donald van der Vaart was named to lead the Office of Administrative Hearings by Chief Justice Paul Newby. Image via NC Judicial Branch
RALEIGH – Chief Justice Paul Newby appointed Dr. Donald van der Vaart as the new Chief Administrative Law Judge and Director of the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).
OAH is a quasi-judicial agency that provides administrative law judges to preside in contested cases of administrative law. In addition, OAH deals with the procedure which governs rulemaking for North Carolina state agencies, and is designated as a 706 deferral agency of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"Dr. van der Vaart is a multi-disciplined expert who has accumulated a vast amount of experience in regulatory, legal, and administrative operations," said Chief Justice Newby. "His skill set is a great fit for directing OAH."
A licensed attorney and engineer, van der Vaart served in the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. There, he held the positions secretary, deputy secretary, North Carolina energy policy advisor, and air quality manager.
In 2018, van der Vaart was appointed to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Scientific Advisory Board, and was reappointed in 2020. He serves on the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission and has authored nearly 50 papers on technical and legal topics.
Van der Vaart replaces Julian Mann, who served for over 31 years in the role and received the Friend of the Court Award from Chief Justice Newby.
"I want to congratulate Judge Mann for an impressive career of service to the citizens of our state," Chief Justice Newby said. "I applaud Judge Mann for his steadfast dedication to OAH and his countless hours of selfless public service."

YARN-1972 introduces a Secure Windows Container Executor. However this executor requires the process launching the container to be LocalSystem or a member of the a local Administrators group. Since the process in question is the NodeManager, the requirement translates to the entire NM to run as a privileged account, a very large surface area to review and protect.
This proposal is to move the privileged operations into a dedicated NT service. The NM can run as a low privilege account and communicate with the privileged NT service when it needs to launch a container. This would reduce the surface exposed to the high privileges.
There has to exist a secure, authenticated and authorized channel of communication between the NM and the privileged NT service. Possible alternatives are a new TCP endpoint, Java RPC etc. My proposal though would be to use Windows LPC (Local Procedure Calls), which is a Windows platform specific inter-process communication channel that satisfies all requirements and is easy to deploy. The privileged NT service would register and listen on an LPC port (NtCreatePort, NtListenPort). The NM would use JNI to interop with libwinutils which would host the LPC client code. The client would connect to the LPC port (NtConnectPort) and send a message requesting a container launch (NtRequestWaitReplyPort). LPC provides authentication and the privileged NT service can use authorization API (AuthZ) to validate the caller.

Hot off the heals of the sweet melancholy showcased so masterfully on their last single The Blink Of An Eye, synth-pop due Destination return with In Nobody's Prayer.
This is a beautifully created piece of Electro-pop that every Erasure, Yazoo & early Depeche Mode fan will adore. It fits in perfectly with the cannon of songs created over the past 4 decades that sound sweet & disarming on the surface, but have a darker, often sad theme running through the lyrics.
Vocal duties are not left along on this single to Destination's Bridget Gray. She is joined, perfectly harmonising, with the exceptional voice of Stephen Newton from GLYDA.
This release features a storming & powerful remix from Real Experts's Andrew Maley to add to the splendour within this single.


Nothing's ever simple for a witch-blood… Unwanted, neglected, and with only the faintest glimmer of magical talent, Aiden Carver spent a miserable childhood in the heart of the Arcanum, convinced that he was nothing more than a dud among wizards. At fifteen, he learned the truth, which was no better. He was witch-blooded, the child of a wizard and a faerie—and not just any faerie, but Titania, late queen of one of the courts. With no future in the Arcanum, Aiden took a chance and moved in with his newfound half brother, Coileán, who'd inherited their mother's throne. Relatively safe and appreciated for the first time in his life, Aiden began to embrace his position as a high lord of Faerie, albeit a hopelessly untalented one. But nothing good lasts forever. With the arrival of a mysterious stranger in a dream, Aiden's new life falls apart. Oberon, the old king who long ago led his court into exile, has returned to Faerie with an army. Coileán has been incapacitated, and if Aiden wants to live, his only choice is to flee. Though stranded in the mortal realm with Joey Bolin, his all-too-mundane friend, and Georgie, a young and very hungry dragon, Aiden is determined to rescue his brother, no matter the cost. But as he soon discovers, Oberon isn't working alone, and the fate of the courts hangs in the balance. For Aiden, saving Coileán could mean facing Oberon. But whoever heard of an insignificant witch-blood taking on a faerie king?

Service in Mõntu battery no. 458
Memories of a soldier who served in the battery
The one who served in the battery recalls: Musinov, the son of sailor Vassili Ivan, was born on April 6, 1927 in the village of Korolyov, Kostroma region. In 1945, he was sent to the training group of the Baltic Sea Fleet in Leningrad, after the completion of which in May 1945, he received the invitation of the air defense commander and was sent to the single 18th division of the coastal defense in Saaremaa, which was located in Sõrve. A total of 150 men served in Mõntu battery no. 458, who lived in barracks made of wooden shields. There was a separate canteen and a wooden lookout tower for a range finder.
The Mark 12 cannons of American origin weighed 1610 kilograms, the length of the iron was 5.685 meters, the firing rate was 15 rounds per minute and the firing distance was 16.6 kilometers.
What was happening in the Irben Strait was constantly monitored, and the learning alarm signal was often sounded. In 1950, the personnel of the battery were transferred to Riga, where they continued to serve on the 100 mm battery

Bright tones will be landing on the Air Jordan 18 this Summer/Fall as this Yellow Suede pair set to be one of the flavors from the collection.
Opting for a bright and bold appearance, this Air Jordan 18 has been covered in a Yellow Ochre suede all throughout the upper with upper eyelets, shroud, laces, tongue, and branding on the heel, tongue, and toe all being done in the same shade of yellow. For contrast we see White on the milky white translucent midsole and the rubber heel and outsole.This. Air Jordan 18 will come with "74G" stitched on the tongues, which we still don't know what it stands for but we're pretty sure will be revealed shortly.
Sidenote: The Air Jordan 18 in Orange and Coll Grey come with "86V" branding, which probably means that all three colorways are set to be a part of an upcoming collection/pack.
The Air Jordan 18 Yellow Suede is expected to release on September 15, 2018 for $225. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

If your middle school self was anything like mine—inclined to long bouts of sprawling on the bedroom floor as "Disarm" played on repeat—then you'll be excited to learn of this brief Smashing Pumpkins reunion. While, alas, no D'arcy Wretzky was present, James Iha joined Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain on March 26 to play tunes from the band's 1993 album Siamese Dream.
During this particular show the Pumpkins paid homage to Siamese Dream and performed a number of tracks from the album, including singles "Today," "Disarm," and "Rocket" (no "Cherub Rock," guys?). The band has recently been on the road with Liz Phair because sometimes we are bestowed with gifts we hardly deserve.
It's my hope that, in honor of this (albeit fleeting) reunion, Jezebel's gentle readers will turn the below comments section into a formidable Pumpkins playlist. I'll begin with the aforementioned "Disarm," a song off the soundtrack to my teenage angst.

Tiffany Moss listens during the third day of her murder trial in Gwinnett County. Moss, who is representing herself, is accused of intentionally starving her 10-year-old stepdaughter Emani to death in the fall of 2013.
Moss murder trial, Day Three: State rests, defendant does nothing
Bill Rankin, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Closing arguments scheduled for Monday in Tiffany Moss death penalty case
Tiffany Moss on Friday continued to do absolutely nothing to defend herself as she represents herself as her own lawyer while facing a death penalty prosecution.
After the state rested its case, Moss told Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge George Hutchinson she did not wish to testify. When Hutchinson brought jurors back into the courtroom, he asked Moss to call her first witness.
"No witnesses," Moss replied.
To which Hutchinson then told the jury, "The defense rests."

Jurors have heard nothing from Moss, except for her saying she had no questions for any of the prosecution's 18 witnesses. She gave no opening statement and lodged no objections.
Closing arguments — or, most likely, one single argument by the prosecution — are scheduled for Monday morning.
Moss, 36, is charged with starving her 10-year-old stepdaughter Emani to death. She is also accused of trying to conceal the death by burning Emani's body in a galvanized trash can in a remote area of Gwinnett County.
The state's last witness was Dr. Michele Stauffenberg, the medical examiner who conducted Emani's autopsy after police found her body on Nov. 2, 2013. She determined the cause of death was starvation.
Emani weighed 32 pounds at the time of her death, when most children her age weigh between 54 and 103 pounds, Stauffenberg said.
"She was more or less skin and bones," Stauffenberg testified. "She was extremely thin and emaciated. She had a starved look."

Prosecutor Lisa Jones then presented more than a dozen autopsy photos to Moss at the defense table, turning them over one by one so Moss could see them before they were put into evidence. Moss looked stricken as she gazed at the photos. When Jones was finished, Moss closed her eyes and put her head down.
As Jones displayed the photos one by one on a screen on the courtroom wall, Moss never once looked up at them. Jurors were noticeably disturbed by the images of the emaciated, charred body. Some covered their eyes, while others wiped away tears.

Earlier, lead homicide investigator Colin Flynn recounted his interview with Eman Moss, Emani's father and Tiffany Moss' husband. Eman Moss was also charged with the murder of his daughter. He pleaded guilty, was sentenced to life in prison without parole, and gave devastating testimony against his wife on Thursday.
Flynn encountered Eman Moss on Nov. 2, 2013, after the suicidal father had called 911 and said his daughter was dead. When police arrived, he said Emani died from drinking chemicals.
He also said that because he didn't know what to do with Emani's body, he put it in the trash can that was on the other side of the parking lot in his apartment complex. An uncertain police officer then walked to the trash can, opened the lid and saw Emani's body inside.
Colin Flynn, an investigator with Gwinnett County Police, with surveillance photos that show Eman Moss purchasing the trash can that his daughter's body was found in. The prosecution rested its case on April 26, 2019, the third day of the Tiffany Moss murder trial at Gwinnett County Superior Court.
Eman Moss was eventually taken to police headquarters and questioned. At one point, Flynn called for a break so he could attend Emani's autopsy.
After Stauffenberg removed the duct tape from Emani's body, Flynn testified, it was clear that the father had not told the truth about Emani dying from ingesting chemicals.
Flynn returned to the interview room and confronted Eman Moss with what he'd just seen.
"It was very apparent she was not eating … so the tone of the interview shifted to starvation," Flynn said.
After that, Eman Moss owned up to what had happened, including admitting that he and his wife had tried to conceal Emani's death by burning her body, Flynn said.
Also Friday, two capital public defenders, appointed to help Tiffany Moss if she needs it, told Hutchinson that Moss wanted to meet with him in private outside the presence of the prosecution. Hutchinson then asked Moss to tell him why.
"Just, um, certain situation as far as going forward from this point," she replied.
Emily Gilbert and Brad Gardner, state capital public defenders, confer on April 26, 2019, while presenting a motion to meet privately with Judge George Hutchinson outside the presence of the prosecution at Gwinnett County Superior Court.
On Thursday, the standby defenders, Brad Gardner and Emily Gilbert, tried to intervene in the case because Moss was not defending herself. Probably because of this motion, Hutchinson asked Moss on Friday if her request had anything to do with legal representation.
"It would be something I need later, and we're bringing it up now," she said vaguely.
Hutchinson then directed Moss to write up a better explanation about what she wanted him to know so he could read it in private.
Moss provided a handwritten note to Hutchinson after the lunch break. The judge read it, then agreed to hold a private hearing with Moss and her standby lawyers. After 15 minutes, they returned and Hutchinson told the courtroom he'd yet to take any action on the matter.

Q: Why android studio always crashed? (Intent) Do you have any idea why using intent always crash in Android Studio?
public void signin(View view) {
    Intent i = new Intent(this, Sign_In.class);
    startActivity(i);
}

That's my simple code and it wouldn't work! I mean it crashed. I used same codes before and it works. What do you think the reason why I couldn't Intent a layout or other activity? I'd clean and rebuild the project..

A: You are doing it wrong. Let's assume the Activity you made the Intent with is called MainActivity:
public void signin(View view) {
    Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Sign_In.class);
    startActivity(i);
}

And if it still doesn't work, leave a comment here.

A: i think your Sign_In class is throwing exception in oncreate method check it by removing all code of oncreate method hope it help you

Le blutoir, ou bluteau, ou barite est un dispositif mécanique qui permet de séparer les diverses particules, selon leur grosseur, d'un matériau après broyage en particulier en meunerie. En effet, il permet de séparer la farine des autres composants du grain (essentiellement le son) après qu'il a été moulu dans un moulin ou une minoterie. Par passage dans un tamis au maillage plus ou moins serré, il permet d'obtenir différents degrés de finesse (voir blutage).

Description

Blutoir à farine
Le blutoir est un cylindre, ou un tronc de cône, ou encore un volume de section hexagonale, qui tourne sur son axe longitudinal. Il est formé d'une armature entourée d'un tamis. À l'origine l'armature était en bois, le tamis en étamine ou en crin. Par la suite il a été en soie, il est maintenant en matières synthétiques comme le nylon.

Le cylindre du blutoir, ou sas, peut être garni de tamis de maillages différents, du plus serré au plus large, chaque partie, appelée laize, étant placée au-dessus d'un compartiment séparé. L'axe du sas est légèrement incliné. La mouture est introduite dans le sas en mouvement par sa partie haute, et la farine passe au travers du tamis en fonction de son maillage. Le son et les particules les plus grosses sont récupérés à l'autre extrémité du cylindre. L'armature en bois est garnie de petites masses de bois qui coulissent librement sur les rayons intérieurs et qui, quand le cylindre tourne, viennent frapper l'armature extérieure, afin d'empêcher la mouture d'adhérer au tamis.

Le blutoir est un élément essentiel de tout moulin ou minoterie. Dans les moulins, il était souvent actionné par un mécanisme annexe du système moteur, énergie éolienne ou hydraulique. Mais les clients, pour des raisons d'économie, se contentaient souvent de faire moudre leur grain et procédaient au blutage chez eux, selon les besoins. Le blutoir individuel, présent dans un grand nombre d'exploitations agricoles anciennes, se présente sous la forme d'un coffre à portes. Une manivelle permet de faire tourner le cylindre et une trappe sert à introduire la mouture. Objet utilitaire, il était fabriqué de façon très simple, mais certains pouvaient être de véritables œuvres d'ébénisterie : beaucoup de blutoirs anciens, débarrassés de leur mécanisme intérieur, sont utilisés comme buffets ou bahuts.

À partir du , des fabricants proposent des modèles de blutoirs qui modifient peu le principe mais utilisent des mécanismes plus sophistiqués.

Les minoteries industrielles utilisent le plansichter, blutoir formé de coffres parallélépipédiques suspendus, mis en mouvement par un moteur.

Autres blutoirs

On utilise des blutoirs dans les industries alimentaires, notamment quand il s'agit d'obtenir des poudres : cacao et chocolat, fabrication de la moutarde.

Des blutoirs sensiblement identiques servaient à trier d'autres matières, par exemple le soufre et le charbon destinés à la production de poudre à canon ; le calcaire, pour la fabrication de la chaux ; la craie, pour donner le blanc d'Espagne ou le blanc de Meudon, etc.

Wilson Scores Back-to-Back USEF Pair Horse Driving National Championship Titles at Hermitage Classic CDE
October 24, 2016 Associate Editor Leave a comment
Steve Wilson takes his lap of honor (Picsofyou.com)
Goshen, Ky. – The Hermitage Classic CDE played host to the 2016 USEF Pair Horse Driving National Championship on October 21-23. The picturesque Hermitage Farm provided the backdrop for Steve Wilson to claim his second consecutive championship title.
Wilson (Louisville, Ky.) began the competition with a great dressage test, earning a score of 49.79 from the Ground Jury of Martha Hanks-Nicoll (USA), Danute Bright (USA), Barry Capstick (IRE), Joaquin Medina (SPA), and Jiri Kunat (CZE) to take the early lead.
"I've got a new young pair of Dutch Warmbloods that I found in Hungary. One of them is hotter than the other. I really had one of the best dressage tests I've ever had, regardless of the score; I felt really good about it," Wilson explained. "I was able to keep the impulsion up and they have got beautiful extension. I pushed them a little too far and we broke to a canter in the last [extended trot movement], but that was my fault."
He and his own mixed KWPN and Lippizanner pair put forth a determined effort over the tough marathon course designed by Barry Hunter (GBR), winning the phase with a total of 95.67 penalties and having the fastest times in four of the seven obstacles.
"In the marathon, I put in a different horse, a Lippizzaner I have had for quite some time and a real powerhouse, taking the youngest and most sensitive horse out. I had a really good marathon; I had one bobble in obstacle six, but I felt really good about my time and how well they responded."
Wilson clinched the 2016 title following Sunday's cones phase. His lead going into the final phase came in handy as he had three balls down for nine penalties and 6.13 time penalties over the challenging track. Wilson won back-to-back titles with a final score of 160.59.
"Today in cones, I put the two Dutch Warmbloods back together, and Dario was really hot and really wanted to go. If I could've had just a bit more control I think I could have kept from hitting a couple balls. I had a nice lead and I knew I could afford three [balls]."
U.S. Driving Coach Thorsten Zarembowicz pointed out that Wilson had three different horses from the last time he won the national title, making Wilson's win quite impressive. "In one year he achieved the same goal with three different horses, which in my mind, is the toughest part to work out. Normally you change one horse out, get another one in, but Steve has come so far that he can drive a different pair just as well."
As co-owner of Hermitage Farm with his wife Laura Lee Brown, Wilson felt the stress competing for the championship title on his home turf. "For me, the idea of losing the second time around here at home in front of my friends made me more intense on myself and feel the pressure. Being the host of an event and competing is really difficult, but my wife and I love hosting and it is getting better every year."
Chet Halka (Millstone, N.J.) started off the weekend with a solid dressage test that received a score of 54.51. He and his own KWPN and Oldenburg pair had a strong marathon performance, collecting 101.66 penalties and having the fastest times in three obstacles. In the cones phase, Halka left all the balls up, but had 7.59 time penalties. His performance was good enough to win the cones phase and earn the Reserve Champion title with a final score of 163.76.
Joan Fernandez (Murrieta, Calif.) and her own Friesian pair had a respectable dressage test to receive a score of 67.55. They had a steady marathon round to tally 174.82 penalties. Fernandez and her pair finished out the competition with four balls down for 12 penalties and 20.8 time penalties in the cones phase, finishing third with a score of 275.15.
