Q: How many contiguous subsets of size $N$ does an infinite grid have? Suppose I have an infinite grid. How many sets of grid points are there that contain $N$ contiguous grid points, and include the grid point at the origin?
So for example, if $N$ = 2, then there are 4 possibilities on a square grid:
0#0  000  000  000
0#0  0##  ##0  0#0
000  000  000  0#0

(Here I have not counted diagonal neighbors as being contiguous.) Is there a name for this quantity? Are there known formulas or tabulated values?

A: Given an $n$, the number you want is $$nP(n)$$ where $P(n)$ is the number of fixed polyominoes of size $n$. A fixed polyomino in your terminology is just a set of contiguous grid points without the specification that it must include the origin. The origin specification means we want to multiply the number of fixed polyominoes by $n$, because each of the $n$ points on a fixed polyomino could be the base point.
You can find a list of the number of fixed polyominoes here: OEIS A001168.

According to hungerfreeOK.org, nearly one in four Oklahoma children (24 percent) is food insecure, meaning they have limited or inconsistent access to adequate food.
Hunger-Free Oklahoma, an advocacy organization, is approaching its second anniversary in 2018. The organization works to end hunger through research, policy-making and collaboration with nonprofits, schools, and state and local government agencies to ensure communities have the information and tools to end hunger.
According to hungerfreeOK.org, nearly one in four Oklahoma children (24 percent) is food insecure, meaning they have limited or inconsistent access to adequate food. Food-insecure children have lower reading and math scores, more significant behavior and social problems, and lower high school graduation rates.
Hunger costs Oklahoma more than $1.4 billion annually because of increased illness and decreased academic achievement.
22.7 percent of Tulsa County children are food insecure.
Oklahoma is No. 1 in the U.S. for its extensive coverage and use of the child nutrition programs in the statewide Every Student Succeeds Education (ESSE) Plan. However, funds are underutilized because people don't know about the available programs.
Oklahoma leaves $400 million in unclaimed federal funds "on the table" each year for nutritional programs.
80 percent of all TPS students are eligible for free-and-reduced lunch.
Breakfast and lunch were served to children at 128 sites during summer 2017.
53 TPS elementary schools, representing 62 percent of schools in the district, participate in the Community Eligibility Provision for free breakfast and lunch to all students, as of November 2017. The CEP allows high-needs schools to offer school meals at no cost to all students.

Finally: A climate change documentary that won't make you feel like sh*t
Published on 20 September 2019	by Alex Casey	Feature
Covering Climate Now: Alex Casey watches 2040, a climate change documentary determined to let the light in.
I've seen enough documentaries about climate change to know what I don't want to see anymore. I don't want Leonardo DiCaprio stroking his goatee on a sheet of ice and saying "folks: it's bad". I don't want Al Gore, pacing back and forth on stage in 2006 and again in 2017 saying "folks: it's still bad." Gents! I know it's bad! I can't even be hungover anymore without imagining the straw from my milkshake going straight up a turtle's nose, or the orangutan that's probably gasping on the arid patch of rainforest cleared to make my double cheeseburger!
I'm a piece of sh*t, Leonardo! You know it, I know it, so what the hell are going to do about it?!
Damon Gameau does not have a goatee, but he does have some pretty good answers. The bloke behind That Sugar Film (think Supersize Me for sweeties) has turned his attention to our uncertain future in 2040, embarking on an optimistic mission that has been missing from the (necessary, but paralyzing) doom and gloom of previous climate change documentaries. Entering the documentary as a layman with as much skin in the game as the rest of us – his home planet is fucked – he sets about finding ways to fix it that exist right now.
Watch trailer here.
Keeping the focus personal, Gameau dedicates his exploration to his daughter Velvet, who is about to turn four. He's trying to imagine an alternative future for her at 25 years old, one where we aren't all piling into Jason Kerrison's ark and squabbling over the last cans of beans in his opshop of rations (athangyou). In order to do this, he uses what he calls "fact-based dreaming" – if you think that's cute, wait till you see the twee miniatures he wheels out later.
Because where Greta Thunberg wants you to act as if your house is on fire, Damon Gameau prefers you act as if your house is a cutesy stop motion animation. I know which one is twee, but I also know which one I prefer on a fragile Sunday after I've spent most of the day looking at skinny polar bears raking through rubbish bins. He frantically stacks wood into the fireplace to explain how our carbon building blocks are out of control, he opens freezer to show the melting of the ice caps, the kitchen sink overflowing as rising sea levels lap at his feet.
2040 CONSIDERS VELVET'S FUTURE AND OURS
It is also here where we also first get a taste of the teeny, tiny, expert men that populate the documentary, made to look like Polly Pocket dolls so I guess we don't get bored by the scary, brainy, things they are saying. As someone who loves New World miniatures even though they now make me sick because of all the fucking plastic argh all the plastic fml, I was absolutely charmed to see them pop up every now and again with their clear-eyed solutions and their bestselling book titles for me to definitely not read later.
Also, I've just realized in this exact moment that I think this documentary might be for children.
Beyond the mini-men, there are some pretty huge solutions. His journey takes him around the world in a carbon-spewing plane, to meet people implementing positive environmental changes right now. In a village in Bangladesh, a young genius has rigged up a solar grid that gives every household the option of sharing their power to those around them. Gameau then flashes forward to how it could be incorporated into Velvet's life in 2040. Bafflingly, she has kept the name Velvet but is using solar sharing to gift her neighbor's power when she goes on holiday.
A VISION FOR 2040'S SOLAR NETWORK
Each chapter of the documentary takes Gameau to a new location, bookended with cute kids talking about their futures down the barrel of the camera. Some hit hard ("I just want the future to be good") and some just absolutely rock ("we should suck up all the rubbish and put it in the rubbish dimension"). Beyond reminding us who will be inheriting this Earth, of course, a crucial point, rounding out each part with their dewy-eyed conclusions make for slightly juddery pacing. Throw me straight into the rubbish dimension, but I could have done with less of them.
Because there's a lot more to tackle here than cute kid vox pops. A trip from a traffic jam in New York to the slick driverless cars of Singapore treads a new path for public and private transport, although I'm not super convinced that by 2040 all the motorways will be obsolete and turned into glorious cabbage patches. Sorry Velvet. What did seem much more realistic is our growing awareness around plant-based diets and regenerative agriculture, with 2040 Velvet making an absolute futuristic vege frittata like an absolute GC.
SEE WEED? THAT'S SEAWEED, BABY
One of the biggest revelations was the role that humble seaweed could play in drawing out carbon from our atmosphere. Somewhere off the East Coast of the United States, a "marine permaculture system" aka a huge underwater seaweed duvet thing captures carbon in the air while also making the ocean less acidic. Turns out brown seaweed can grow 50cm a day and can be used as a food, a biofuel, a fertiliser, an alkalizer, a lipstick, a contour and an eyeshadow. Folks, it's the Thin Lizzy of the sea, and maybe everything is going to be fine.
Look, 2040 isn't a perfect documentary. The animation tires a bit, and the final sequence made me want to wrap my head in metres and metres of fast-growing brown seaweed, never to be seen again. I'm also sure that anyone with more scientific knowledge than me, a person who once picked up a hardened human stool thinking it was a precious gem, could shoot holes in the sunny solutions apart in seconds. But, in these trying days where basically everything feels like a hardened human stool, I'm choosing to hold this up as a rare gem. Frankly, because I have to.

Q: array keys encoded when using http_build_query() Encoding an array to a URL using http_build_query() produces strange behaviour when an array key is also a html-char code.
For example:
return http_build_query([
   'id' = > ['my', 'data', 'here'], // no problem
   'class' = > ['my', 'data', 'here'], // no problem
   'yen' = > ['my', 'data', 'here'], // ¥ html car is ¥
   'parameter' = > ['my', 'data', 'here'], // ¶ html char is ¶
]);

and the encoded result is:
id[0]=my&id[1]=data&id[2]=here&class[0]=my&class[1]=data&class[2]=here¥[0]=my¥[1]=data¥[2]=here¶meter[0]=my¶meter[1]=data¶meter[2]=here
whats going on here, it cant be possible that i cannot use the word parameter as an array key.

A: If you view the source of HTML output, you will see

id%5B0%5D=my&id%5B1%5D=data&id%5B2%5D=here&class%5B0%5D=my&class%5B1%5D=data&class%5B2%5D=here&yen%5B0%5D=my&yen%5B1%5D=data&yen%5B2%5D=here&parameter%5B0%5D=my&parameter%5B1%5D=data&parameter%5B2%5D=here

Which is correct. While displaying only, the browser will interpret malformed entities like &yen as ¥. There is nothing to worry about on the server side.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A mother killed four of her children by cutting their throats and sheriff's deputies found a large butcher knife with what appeared to be blood on it in an apartment were the killings took place, according to court documents filed Saturday.
An affidavit filed in Shelby County court by a sheriff's detective identified the victims as 4-year-old Tallen Gardner; 3-year-old Sya Gardner; 2 year-old Sahvi Gardner; and 6-month old Yahzi Gardner. A fifth child, 7-year-old Dallen Gardner, fled the apartment and escaped the attack, the affidavit said.


Actually, Printful also falls into the category of dropshipper, or a provider that stores the goods for you, packages themand ships them out to your customers after a buy. So, basically, all you need to do is upload your own layouts and begin posting them on your website to begin selling. Within this Printful review, we'll outline the advantages of the service and reveal why many users select Printful over the choices.
The short story Is that Printful does not have as large of selection of merchandise compared to the competition. If I wanted to publish and dropship some designs on coasters, I'd need to look elsewhere. The same is true for more specific items such as yoga mats and jewellery. However, there's an onslaught of user reviews out there that state Printful is that their go-to printing press due to the quality of products. And that's a big thing.
You Might Have to Cut down on the selection of items you sell on your site, but at least you know that the tops are hardy, the printing isn't likely to wash off fast, and customers are not likely to have ticked off due to a late delivery.
Obviously, not All printing and dropshipping companies are ideal. I have seen users post terrible Printful reviews, talking about how the customer service is lacking or how the print didn't appear as bright as they thought. On the other hand, the majority of retailers seem to agree that Printful is your leader in this market.
1 thing to Remember is the fact that it often depends on the type of product that you're printing on, the supplier you select, and the quality of graphic you upload. So, one kind of shirt may seem wonderful from Printful, but the bag bags might not look exactly perfect. The primary approach to figure out if Printful is to you will be to upload some of your layouts and purchase samples. In this manner, you can compare quality, pricing, and transport rate to additional printing companies and see which one is right for you.
For This Printful inspection, we'll avoid the caliber of its goods, because that really requires you to purchase some samples. But, we will discuss pricing, ease-of-use, client service, and the choice of products. This way, you'll have a clearer idea of how Printful can work for you and when the design and integration tools are sufficient for your industry.
Printful supplies the products, Prints on the products, packages and fulfills the order and sends it straight to your customers, all you need to do is send orders to them and the sequence details and they'll manage the rest. To find out more about how their process works, have a look at the Printful Printing Order Lifecycle.
They're in the Organization Of helping you create products for your company, and they provide all the required tools and resources to help you integrate the dropshipping process in your ecommerce site so it's possible to provide a seamless experience for your customers.

Another cost to Consider is the sample sequence. As I mentioned previously, the only way to really see whether the quality of the products out of Printful are perfect for you is to send a sample to yourself.
If you order a product which comes from a European Printful center, the delivery is free for all locations in Europe.
This may cause Problems for those trying to try out new products on a regular basis. But the company does have some techniques to acquire additional sample orders–such as by integrating with the ecommerce platform or creating more than $300 from the previous month.
Another big Question most retailers have is whether it's quick and easy to walk throughout the print design center. Also, what's it like trying to get those products on your site?
I would choose The size which I'd like to market, then upload the printing file that is likely to go onto that picture.
Generally, the Guide from Printful is very clear as to what you might want to change with your upload. For instance, most arbitrary JPGs you upload from your computer are going to be too little for printing on a canvas. You're likely to want a large JPG or PNG which you exported from a RAW file in something like Lightroom or even Photoshop.
Then, you Either put your customized order or store it to your ecommerce platform. Should you have it attached to a stage the item automatically syncs to a shop.
Printful Is for ecommerce entrepreneurs who want the ease of selling dropshipped products without losing their branding at the process. Whether you're trying to find a way to market your designs to your clients be it on custom t-shirts, canvases, telephone cases, pillows and much more, or if you're considering starting any sort of product-based business without the hassle of owning inventory or production stuff, subsequently Printful is for you.
They're continually Growing their services and product offerings, and because they are so receptive to their customer's needs and desires their number of sellers continues to grow. Their efficiency, transparency, high-quality product offering and varied selection are a part of the reason they're so powerful, and their capacity to work with companies to help them provide the best support for their clients is what keeps them growing.
You don't have to have Any prior business experience when it comes to working with Printful. The services they provide are available to both seasoned entrepreneurs as well as new business owners, so if you've never started your own company or haven't sourced products from a supplier before then provide Printful an attempt! There is no minimum order requirement, no monthly fees, you only pay for orders as your customers make them so it's a low-risk way to start your own organization.
What they supply sellers Goes far beyond just their product offering and regular dropshipping services. Those are both a massive portion of what makes their support so valuable but they also provide other resources and tools that allow sellers to set up their shops more easily, create more amazing products or only generally help vendors use Printful's support to its fullest extent.
There are several Different printing procedures but those that Printful sticks to are Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing since it's a price and labor effective approach to print single sequence things (and the main reason they don't require minimum orders), but in addition they offer you all-over sublimation printing for some clothing items, screen printing in some cases (for big purchases only) and embroidery for hats and coming soon for attire.
When it comes to Printing, Printful makes it easy for you. You don't need to think about choosing the best printing way of the product you are printing on, each product offered on their site is printed in the way that best suits the item, which means you don't need to research different printing procedures and their advantages and disadvantages, Printful's got it covered.

Printful also offers a Warehousing and fulfillment service at which they're able to shop, pick, pack, and ship goods on behalf of merchants — they do not even have to be Printful merchandise! Printful has made a sophisticated community of transport, satisfaction, and logistics solutions they now hire out to retailers who need access to these resources.
As Printful provides a Dropshipping service, there is no need for you to ever handle or manage any of the solution or stock, and you don't handle the packaging, transport or fulfillment aspects . Printful stores, prints, picks, packs, ships and suits every product, which means you never need to.
This Is the Reason Why dropshipping Is this attractive business model for entrepreneurs who are starting their very first store or do not have a large budget to invest in product inventory or manufacturing tools. It provides a low-risk way for vendors to provide great products to their clients, and it enables sellers to concentrate on other aspects of their shops such as the designs, branding, customer service or marketing without needing to worry about the technical side of things such as printing goods and shipping them.
This can, of course, Mean that you're paying to get Printful's services and for providing warehousing, transport, and fulfillment in order to make it a low-risk business model for you. Despite the fact that you don't pay for their support in monthly fees or minimum orders, then your profit margins will be affected and will be smaller than in case you're fabricating products . This drawback isn't exclusive to Printful, it applies to the dropshipping business model as a whole. It is, however, an important facet of dropshipping to remember so you may prepare your margins so.

This means that orders have sent to Printful instantly and there is no possibility of losing the purchase or making a mistake on the order details throughout the transition.
Even though Printful offers many different services, resources and tools which are valuable for their sellers, there are still a few aspects of the services that they are working to enhance. Let's dive into the benefits and disadvantages of using Printful as a dropshipping service supplier.
Ultimately, Printful Provides the most effective dropshipping service when it comes to apparel, accessories and homeware distributing and printing. They might not have a huge merchandise offering but what they do offer is top quality, and they strive to get it right each time. They also use their sellers to always improve the products and services they provide whether that is getting new kinds of products in or adding more choice to what they offer. Their drive to offer high-quality products and services and also to continuously improve their products, tools, and resources is why so many sellers decide to work together.
However, the Main ones which also provide dropshipping include Printify (easy to get confused with Printful,) Print Aura, and Gooten. A few different ones exist, but there are not many dropshipper/printers from the game.
Printful makes Cash when you make a sale. The same holds for the provider you're buying from. What happens is that you choose a product to sell, and Printful lists a starting retail price for your item.
So, let's say I Wanted to sell some t-shirts with my own custom design printed onto them. Printful includes a massive group of shirts from various brands and made out of different materials. Each product gets the information listed for pricing, colors, shipping places, and testimonials.
As you walk Throughout the item creation process, you will find an choice to make your own pricing and see the possible profit. I guess most t-shirts go for around $10 to $15, so I list mine as $14.99.
Among the primary Reasons I enjoy Printful so much is because it focuses on certain goods, but does them well. As an example, t-shirts seem so simple, but some of the t-shirts are of incredible quality, and that means that you may turn your shop into somewhat of a high-end supplier.
I would argue The Printful base prices are somewhere in the middle when compared with the competition. I've seen some fairly cheap prices from rivals like Printify and Gooten, but once again, those two choices seem to have more trouble with shipping and general quality.
I am convinced You can definitely turn a gain for nearly all of your earnings through Printful, as long as you're not pricing items over what people would ordinarily pay. Folks know that habit printing is more expensive, so they are typically willing to pay a premium. In addition, you get to determine the potential gain before publishing it into your website, so if a product doesn't yield a fantastic return, simply look for a more affordable model or hike up the cost a little.


Sports science has now proven that when a muscle gets stronger it will get bigger. Your core muscle strength that you have in your body is directly proportional to the amount of muscle that you carry on your body. The bottom line is that you need to get stronger as fast as you can. Compound movements are any movement that you do which uses more than one joint to perform the movement. The obvious examples are squats, deadlift and bench-press but there are plenty other like military press or lunges. Whatever compound exercise you do there is no way that you can use the correct technique without needing your inner core strength to help lift the weight.
When working with compound exercises the most vital aspect is without a doubt is the form or technique that you use. If you want to be using the correct muscles you are going to have to focus when you do the movement specifically on the correct technique.
An advanced bodybuilder who is trying to change his program to break through a plateau in his training that he might have reached will go down to 3 reps in a set but it is generally not recommended for beginners. Intermediate bodybuilder would be using compound exercises incrementally.
Increasing the weight that you use when doing compound movements is the secret to increasing your core strength. One can test your own personal core strength not by doing your one rep max on a squat or bench-press but by simply holding yourself in the plank position for as long as you can.
If you can hold yourself in a perfect plank position for 4 or 5 minutes then you will be getting a yardstick to which you will be able to measure your improvement as your central core strength increases that you get over time. It goes without saying that if you are able to squat correctly with a heavier weight that you will be definitely gaining muscle.

What Part of the Body Do Cardio Exercises Affect?
Cardio exercise, also known as aerobic exercise, affects your muscles, bones, circulatory system, respiratory system and brain. Although sometimes cardio exercise can cause injury, the overall benefits of cardio activity to your body are so widespread that doctors call it the best way to improve your overall health and mental state. Cardio exercise will reduce your fat stores and helps fight off many types of illness, from heart disease and diabetes to cancer.
Cardio exercises are activities that make you breathe harder as your heart and lungs work to deliver more oxygen to the large muscle groups you are using. Cardio exercises include running, which uses your legs, and swimming, which primarily uses your arms, shoulders and back muscles. One of the best cardio exercises is cross-country skiing, which utilizes your legs and arms while strengthening your heart and lungs. During these and other cardio exercises, your small blood vessels widen to deliver oxygen to working muscles and to carry away carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
Cardio exercise stimulates your immune system, making you less susceptible to viral infections such as colds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that cardio exercises also have a positive impact on your mind by sharpening your thinking processes. According to the Mayo Clinic, cardio exercise affects your brain by reducing stress, depression, anxiety and tension. Immediately after exercising, your body often releases endorphins, natural pain-reducing substances that can give you a sense of well-being.
The effect of exercise on your heart is often demonstrated by your resting heart rate. After several weeks of cardio exercise, you will notice that your pulse rate first thing in the morning – before you've gotten up or had that first cup of coffee – will be slower. This is a sign that your heart muscle is stronger and capable of delivering blood to the rest of your body at a slower rate. Cardio exercise also increases your high-density lipoprotein – the "good" cholesterol – and reduces low-density lipoprotein -- the "bad" cholesterol -- helping keep plaque from clogging your arteries.
There are also benefits to the body's respiratory system as your lungs become better at taking in oxygen for use by your muscles. Those muscles become firmer, and muscle enzymes become better at working at a low intensity for an increasing duration of exercise. Your metabolic rate – the pace at which you are burning calories – is also affected by cardio exercise, as it becomes elevated during your workout and remains elevated for a time afterward.
Cardio exercise burns fat, and this can reduce your total body fat, which is stored under the skin, around internal organs and between muscle cells. When you exercise, you will at first burn glycogen for energy, but after 30 minutes the body will switch to burning fat. A pound of fat contains about 3,500 calories, so it takes regular and prolonged cardio exercise to have an effect on your body composition. If you diet to lose weight, adding exercise will keep your body from getting flabby as you reduce.

PLAY ULTIMATE
IWTP
Ultimate Frisbee, explained as simply as possible, is a game played between two teams of seven players on a large rectangular pitch. A line drawn across the pitch at either end creates two "endzones" (like in American Football, or Rugby). These are the goal-scoring areas. A goal is scored when a team completes a pass to a player standing (or more likely running) in the endzone they are attacking.
Players cannot run with the disc. When you get the disc you must come to a stop and try to throw it to another player (a bit like netball). By passing from player to player, the offence attempts to work the disc up the pitch towards the endzone they are attacking. If the disc hits the ground or is intercepted or knocked down by the other team, then the opposition takes possession (it's called a "turnover"). Possession also changes if a receiver is outside the playing area when he or she catches it.
The defending team attempts to stop the team with the disc from making progress upfield by marking them (as in soccer or basketball). The theory is that the offence won't want to pass to a player who is being marked closely, as it's likely to result in an interception. So it boils down to the offence players trying to get free of their markers to receive a pass, while the defence makes every effort to stay with them in the hope of forcing a turnover.

Q: Let $N,M$ be normal subgroups of $G$ with $N\cap M=\{e\}$. Prove that $M\subset C_{G}(N)$ and $N\subset C_{G}(M)$. First consider the following definition:

Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$. The center:
$$ C_{G}(H)=\{g\in G\,:\,gh=hg,\,\forall h\in H\}$$

Now I'm trying to prove the following theorem:

Let $N,M$ be normal subgroups of $G$ so $N\cap M=\{e\}$.
Prove that $M\subset C_{G}(N)$ and $N\subset C_{G}(M)$.

What I tried:
We know that $N\triangleleft G$ so there is $n_{0}\in N$ so for every $n\in N$ and every $g\in G$, $n_{0}=g^{-1}ng$. We can convert it to be: $n=gn_0g^{-1}$.
We also know that $M\triangleleft G$ so there is $m_{0}\in M$ so $m=gm_0g^{-1}$.
We can see that:
$$ nm=(gn_0g^{-1})(gm_0g^{-1})=g(n_0m_0)g^{-1}\\
   mn=(gm_0g^{-1})(gn_0g^{-1})=g(m_0n_0)g^{-1}$$
But how I continue from here? As I understand I need to show that $nm=mn$.

A: First of all I'm not so sure about your definition of a normal subgroup. If $N\triangleleft G$ then what you know is that for any $g\in G,n\in N$ we have $gng^{-1}\in N$. It doesn't imply that $gng^{-1}$ is the same element for any $g$ and $n$. If anything, $geg^{-1}=e$ for any $g\in G$.
Now about the problem itself. Let $m\in M, n\in N$. We want to show that $mn=nm$. Now, because $N\triangleleft G$ we know that $mnm^{-1}\in N$. Since $n^{-1}\in N$ we conclude that $mnm^{-1}n^{-1}\in N$. On the other hand we also know that $M\triangleleft G$, so $nm^{-1}n^{-1}\in M$. Also $m\in M$ and hence $mnm^{-1}n^{-1}\in M$. So we got that $mnm^{-1}n^{-1}\in M\cap N=\{e\}$. Hence $mnm^{-1}n^{-1}=e$ and that implies $mn=nm$.

A: It is useful to see $[M,N] := \langle mnm^{-1}n^{-1} |m\in M$ $ n\in N\rangle $. Shall show this is the trivial subgroup. $mnm^{-1} \in N$ and hence $mnm^{-1}n^{-1}\in N$ but then again $nm^{-1}n^{-1}\in M$ and hence $mnm^{-1} \in M$. So each generator is in $M\cap N=e$. Thus every element of $M$ commutes with every element if $N$. This solves your problem.

A: Observe that
$$K\lhd G\iff [K,G]=1$$
So apply this:
$$M\lhd G\iff [M,G]=1\;,\;\;\text{and in particular}\;\;\forall\,m\in M\,,\,n\in N: [m,n]=1\implies$$
$$m^{-1}n^{-1}mn=1\implies mn=nm\implies M\subset C_G(N)$$

Home Private Equity News & Analysis Industry enjoys record year as default fears grow
Industry enjoys record year as default fears grow
Global private equity deal volume soared to a record $737.4 billion in 2006, but more difficult times may lie ahead.
Private equity deal-making smashed all previous records in 2006, although fears are growing that choppier waters may lie ahead for the industry in 2007.
Global deal volume reached a new high of $737.4 billion (€567.5 billion) in 2006, more than double the previous high of $352.3 billion in 2005, according to figures from data provider Dealogic. In total, private equity deals accounted for 18% of all global M&A volume, up from 12% in 2005.
However, although default rates are currently at historic lows, rating agency Standard & Poor's expects this to change in 2007 as a number of private equity-backed companies start to struggle under the burden of debt.
Polestar, a magazine printer bought by Investcorp in 1998, agreed a debt restructuring last month to avoid bankruptcy. Focus, a UK DIY chain owned by buyout firms Apax Partners and Duke Street Capital, is also expected to complete a restructuring within the next month.
Sponsor fee ranking
The 2006 total included the biggest buyout to date, The Blackstone Group's $36.0 billion deal for US property firm Equity Office. The US-based buyout firm paid out $622 million in banking fees in 2006, more than any other firm, with other big deals including the $12 billion acquisition of Danish market research firm VNU, and the $6 billion purchase of US crafts retailer Michaels Stores. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts was the second biggest fee-payer, spending $555 million, and Apax Partners was third, paying out $500 million in fees.
Globally, real estate investment soared from $71.4 billion from $13.8 billion, making it the third biggest sector for private equity deals. As in 2005, telecoms was the biggest sector, at $79.9 billion.
JP Morgan made the most money from advising private equity clients in
Bank ranking – sponsor fees
2006, according to the Dealogic figures, amassing $1.25 billion in fees. Goldman Sachs was in second place, making $1.14 billion in fees, while Credit Suisse was third with $1.02 billion.
Average deal size topped $500 million for the first time in 2006, reaching $513 million, an 81% increase from the 2005 figure of $283 million.

Quick takes: Alzolay labors, Wainwright stymies Cubs
/ by Tim Stebbins
A Cubs rotation down two starters didn't get off on the best foot in Adbert Alzolay's first start since Tyler Chatwood and José Quintana landed on the injured list.
Alzolay wasn't sharp in his start in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader with St. Louis, getting pulled in the third inning. He pitched a solid first two innings before walks and an error caught up to him.
The Cardinals took a 4-1 lead in the fourth, scoring twice off Ryan Tepera, but Jason Adam kept the Cubs in the game with two shutout, hit-less innings. However, outside of Ian Happ, who made a big return to the Cubs lineup, the offense struggled against Cards veteran Adam Wainwright, who pitched 6 1/3 innings of two-run ball.
Some quick takes from the game.
Walks and errors
Alzolay got off to a good start Saturday, pitching two scoreless innings while working around a two-on, no-out jam in the second frame after a Kris Bryant error. But the free passes and another error caught up to him in the third. After allowing back-to-back singles to start the inning, Alzolay loaded the bases on a walk with one out.
Alzolay spun a potential inning-ending double play grounder to Bryant, but Nico Hoerner's relay popped out of Anthony Rizzo's glove, allowing St. Louis to tie the game at 1. Alzolay walked the next two on four pitches each, the second forcing in the go-ahead run and ending his day.
The 25-year-old threw 78 pitches in 2 2/3 innings, allowing two hits and two earned runs while walking five. He struck out four.
The Cubs had a golden scoring chance in the second, when they loaded the bases with nobody out on a walk, hit by pitch and single, but came up empty-handed. Steven Souza Jr. struck out looking, Hoerner lined out to second base and Happ grounded into a fielder's choice.
The Cubs' bases loaded woes this season are well-documented — they entered play Saturday with a .205/.235/.273 slash line in 51 plate appearances. Granted, some of those chances have been with two outs, but Saturday's was not. And while Hoerner and Happ put good wood on the ball, the Cubs didn't capitalize on a great chance.
Happ Happ Hooray
Happ quickly made it clear that his eye is OK in his return to the starting lineup.
Happ missed Friday's game after a scary incident Thursday in which he hit a foul ball that deflected off the ground and into his face near his right eye. But in his first at-bat Saturday, he drilled a leadoff home run off the right field video board at Wrigley Field.
Is @ihapp_1 back or is he back?@BinnysBev pic.twitter.com/LoxRdhnbMT
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) September 5, 2020
Happ wasn't done there. In the fifth, he hit an opposite field blast for his 12th home run of the season. He finished the day 2-for-4.
In between those homers, the Cubs offense went 2-for-15 with two singles, one walk and a hit by pitch.
Keep it going?
"I have enjoyed it. I think it's smart for the health [of the players], especially this season. I definitely would think [MLB is] looking into carrying that on. I'm not privy to those conversations, but I've heard good feedback around the league." –David Ross on seven-inning doubleheaders.
The Cubs and Cardinals wrap up their doubleheader 35-45 minutes after the conclusion of Game 1. Both clubs will have a 'bullpen day' in Game 2.

Update: China to Cut Banks' Reserve Requirement, Freeing Up $175 Billion
By Lin Jinbing
The PBOC said it will cut for most lenders the amount of cash set aside as reserves from Oct. 15. Photo: VCG
China's central bank announced on Sunday that it will cut the amount of cash lenders must set aside as reserves from Oct. 15, freeing up additional liquidity in the banking system in a bid to support the economy.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) will lower the reserve requirement ratios (RRRs) by 100 basis points for most commercial banks and all the foreign banks, according to its statement (link in Chinese). Policy banks, county-level rural commercial banks and rural credit cooperatives are not on the list.
Announcement of the cut comes at a time when escalating trade tensions with the U.S. have cast a shadow on the country's economic outlook. Recent worse-than-expected economic data and estimates of lower domestic growth have fueled speculation that the regulator may loosen its grip on liquidity. China is scheduled to publish its gross domestic product (GDP) data for the third quarter on Oct. 19.
The targeted reserve requirement ratio cut, the fourth of 2018, will release around 1.2 trillion yuan ($174.7 billion) of liquidity into the banking system, according to the central bank statement.
Lenders are required to use some of the freed-up liquidity to repay loans obtained from the central bank via the medium-term lending facility, which total around 450 billion yuan and will be due on Oct. 15. After the repayments, a net injection of 750 billion yuan will be left for the banks subject to the reserve requirement ratio cut.
Paying back high-interest medium-term loans can reduce banks' capital costs, thus helping lower businesses' financing costs. Additional liquidity can help boost credit to small businesses, privately owned enterprises and innovating companies, the central bank said.
The central bank stressed that it hasn't changed the tone of its monetary policy. It said it will continue to carry out a prudent and neutral monetary policy, and maintain a reasonable level of liquidity instead of flooding the economy with liquidity.
The announcement comes before the two major stock markets on the Chinese mainland resume trading on Monday following a one-week National Day holiday. The benchmark Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong dropped more than 4% during the holiday on a spate of negative developments in overseas markets and in the China-U.S. relationship.
Announcement of the reserve requirement ratio cut on the last day of the one-week holiday aims to cushion the impact of turbulence in overseas stock and bond markets on domestic markets, economists at China Merchants Securities Co. Ltd. said in a note.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech last week has fanned expectations that the U.S. may continue to hike interest rates, leading to a rise in U.S. Treasury bond yields, an appreciation of the greenback, and turbulence in U.S. stock markets.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence's claims on Thursday that China is meddling in America's democracy and elections have further escalated tensions between the world's two largest economies.

Primaries in four states on Tuesday, all in places Donald Trump carried in 2016, showcase races in which GOP candidates are jockeying to be seen as the most conservative, the most anti-Washington and the most loyal to the president. It's evidence of the onetime outsider's deepening imprint on the Republican Party he commandeered less than two year ago.
In Indiana, Republicans will choose between three Senate candidates who have spent much of the race praising the Trump and bashing each other. In West Virginia, a former federal convict and coal baron has taken aim at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., with racially charged accusations of corruption.

Campaign for Social Science
The 'summer born' penalty
By law, children in England do not have to be in school until the term after their fifth birthday, but the vast majority start much earlier than this, with over 90% starting school in the September after they turn four. For those born in August, this means starting school when they have only just turned four, up to a year younger than their peers. Professor Lorraine Dearden FAcSS of University College London and colleagues at the Institute for Fiscal Studies – Dr Claire Crawford of the University of Warwick and Ellen Greaves of the University of Bristol – looked into whether it matters when in the school year a child was born.
They found that being amongst the youngest in the class can have significant
implications for many aspects of children's lives.
For example, those born in August are, on average, around 25% less likely than their September-born classmates to reach the government's expected level in reading, writing and maths at age seven.They also tend to have lower confidence in their ability and are more likely to be labelled as having mild special educational needs.
Summer-born children do tend to catch up with their autumn-born peers as they get older, but there are still differences in attainment at GCSE, A-Level and even university. For example, while 60% of those born in September achieve 5 A*-C grades in their GCSEs, only 54% of those born in August do the same.
These types of statistics understandably lead parents of summer-born children to be concerned about how their child will fare at school. It is important to remember that these figures are averages: every child is different, and there are many summer-borns who flourish and autumn-borns who struggle. But it is concerning that something as arbitrary as the cut-off date for school entry has the potential to affect individuals throughout their lives.
As a result, in 2015 the government changed legislation so that parents of summer-born children now have more flexibility in choosing when their child starts school.
However this could also mean that the gap in age between the youngest and oldest in the year will further widen. As a result the researchers are actively engaging with policymakers about how best to deal with the problem – for example, introducing 'age-adjusted' test scores for all children which tell us about a child's progress relative to others of the same age.

Runescape 3 has four skills categories that allow characters to specialize in performing actions. Combat, support, gathering and artisan are the main skill types.
Runescape 3 has a total of 27 skills divided into four main categories. Players with a free account have access to 16 skills. Despite the restriction, free players are still able to enjoy most of the game's aspects. Premium members unlock 11 more skills that give them the chance to discover other game activities such as player housing, farming, hunting and more.
The combat category includes eight skills that are used to enhance a character's fighting prowess. Out of eight skills, only one is premium: summoning. This skill lets players use a companion pet. Four support skills provide all sorts of perks. The most important support skill, dungeoneering, is free while the others must be unlocked with premium options. The other two Runescape 3 skill categories are all about gathering raw materials and transforming them into items. Players mine, cut wood, hunt, fish, farm and collect energy. Materials obtained with gathering skills can be transformed into potions, foods, equipment, runes and player housing items.
Skills are upgraded when players use them. For example, mining is leveled when gathering ores, cooking when transforming ingredients into food and so on. Gathering skills and artisan skills have a complementary design. This means that artisan skills use as material items obtained with gathering skills. It's not hard to see which skills make a good pair. Hunting and fishing skills provide ingredients for cooking. Firemaking skill is used to create a fire for cooking. With a few exceptions, all skills go from level 1 to 99. The two exceptions are called elite skills as they rely on other ones. These two elite skills go from level 1 to 120. Free players are given the chance to try out premium skills but the level cap is set at five. When players use a certain skill, they gain experience with that particular skill line. Players can upgrade their skills for a limited period of time when using consumables such as foods or potions. Runescape 3 gold are also important for your game playing, which can help you to enjoy game.


Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro at WEG in 2014.
Regular readers will recall that the Training Scale provides a guide as to the qualities we want to keep in mind in our training: Rhythm, Suppleness, Contact, Impulsion, Straightness, Collection. These qualities are likely to be important in whatever you are training your horse for, whether it's an Olympic discipline or something else.
There are a number of controversies in regards to the Training Scale. Firstly, "balance" is not explicitly mentioned except in the definition of collection. Some people think this is a weakness in the scale. However, the balance of the horse will improve if you train according to the scale. Personally, I think it is helpful to keep balance explicitly in your mind: improved balance is the end point of correct training for any discipline.
Secondly, there is some debate as to the order of the qualities. Star American showjumping coach, George Morris, puts impulsion first, as without impulsion you can't really have rhythm. However, the traditional order suggests that impulsion develops more as the level of training advances. This emphasis helps prevent riders getting horses to run on the forehand. You develop his capacity for impulsion by doing the transitions within the pace and insisting on correct rhythm.
BASIC ATTEMPT: You kick and he generally goes forward.
OBEDIENCE: You kick and he reliably goes forward.
RHYTHM: You kick and he goes forward with rhythm.
STRAIGHTNESS: You kick and he goes forward with rhythm and stays straight.
CONTACT: You kick and he goes forward with a light and even contact, rhythm and straightness.
PROOF: You kick and he does all the above, even if there are frightening distractions.
This scale has a lot of merit, as it helps riders keep the process of training in mind as well as the qualities we are training. However, for the rest of this article I will be referring to the traditional Training Scale.
So, how can you use the Training Scale when you ride? You apply it to anything you do in training to evaluate the quality of the work, and you work on improving these qualities as the training progresses. Let's take some examples. The transition from walk to trot is one of the simplest things we train. A good walk-to-trot transition will have the qualities of the Training Scale at a level appropriate to the age and training of the horse.
To check if our training has merit and is improving the horse, keep in mind the RHYTHM. Does the horse move from a true four-beat walk rhythm with a stable tempo directly into a correct two-beat trot? Or does he speed up the walk tempo before trotting, or worse, lose the regular four-beat walk rhythm before he actually trots? In this case he responds to the leg aid to go faster first, and may fall into the trot in an unbalanced way rather than keep his balance as he pushes with the hindleg into the trot.
Rhythm should also be maintained through the half pass.
Does he stay SUPPLE, stretch over the back and reach into the CONTACT correctly? Or does he throw himself shoulders first into trot, lifting his head and pulling or balancing on the rein incorrectly? Does he actively and with IMPULSION step into the trot willingly? Or is the transition laboured and lazy? Does he stay STRAIGHT in the transition or does he resist pushing with the hindleg by being crooked? Crookedness in a simple transition like this could reflect a lack of suppleness, or reluctance or inability to collect at an appropriate level.
David McKinnon & HV Her Highness showing superb straightness and balance.
In general, the up transitions are easier than the down transitions, as the latter require more balance. When going from canter to trot there is more likelihood of the horse losing his balance and running. By running, I mean his rhythm may be too fast in the first trot steps and the contact may increase as he pulls on the rein as his weight goes on to his front legs to balance himself. He may be crooked. There is maybe 500kg of horse with the momentum of canter speed, which has to be balanced into a slower speed and pace. Repeated training of the transition with a focus on the qualities of the Training Scale will improve the horse's balance. He will learn to collect himself before and in the transition.
As the rider/trainer of your horse, you must prepare for the transition by asking that he slows down in the canter; you may lean back a little before the transition, putting weight back on his hindlegs and asking him to also put weight on them. You may use a small circle to get him to slow down and balance; if you keep him straight on the circle with his hindlegs following the front legs, he will have to get his hindlegs more under himself. The circle helps maintain SUPPLENESS. You pay attention to the CONTACT that he doesn't lean on the bit. Just use a small impulse on the rein rather than a continuous pull. If he leans on the rein, take and give with the rein to insist he stays in self-carriage. If he loses the rhythm and the canter becomes four-beat, you must send him forward a bit more to restore the rhythm, then ask again. This is very important. If you allow him to do the wrong thing, such as lose rhythm, you are in effect training him to do it wrong. RHYTHM is the first quality on the Training Scale, so you must restore the rhythm any time it is lost. SUPPLENESS in this transition refers to the longitudinal suppleness: Can he get the hindleg reaching under him, and achieve lateral suppleness? Can he maintain the correct bending rather than lose the bend by pushing the shoulder to the inside to balance incorrectly? With training, the transition will develop rhythm, suppleness, correct contact and lightness, straightness, and impulsion with a higher, more cadenced and collected trot. His balance improves and he can stay in self-carriage through the transition.
Brett Parbery and Furstin Friendship showing plenty of impulsion.
When you are training the higher-level movements, the principles remain the same. Can you leg-yield with constant rhythm? When you half-pass, does the rhythm remain the same in all the steps? A horse struggling with the balance and suppleness required in a correct half-pass will take shorter, quicker steps. He must learn to keep his balance, and so keep the rhythm the same as he trots into the half-pass. In training, if he speeds up or becomes irregular in the rhythm, or if he loses the suppleness by losing bend and flattening out his body, you should correct him, re-establish the correct rhythm and ask again until he finds a way to do it. You can help by returning to a small circle to get rhythm and suppleness (bending) or by going into shoulder-in to re-establish the rhythm and bending. At a higher level again, when training piaffe you must keep the clear two-beat rhythm of the trot, and the reaching into the contact.
At any level of work the horse is likely to try to avoid collection and work (don't we all) by being crooked and putting the hindquarters to the inside or outside where they don't carry weight. So, if we are training collection but lose rhythm or straightness, or something lower on the Training Scale, we have to go back and restore what we have lost. This way the horse will slowly build capacity to collect correctly.
I have had the experience of thinking I had good straightness only to find when we got to one-tempi changes, piaffe and passage, he was not as even in both reins as I thought, and I had to go back to making him straighter and more even in both reins to be able to make the one-tempis straight.

Training is a continual process of review in terms of the quality of the work informed by the Training Scale. I hope you can see how you can use the Training Scale as a guide. Keep the qualities in mind; when you lose a quality you must try to restore it.

RHOBH Star Dorit Kemsley's Husband 'PK' Sued Over $75,000 Gambling Debt to UK Casino, He Says He Shouldn't Have to Pay Because Too Much Time Has Passed

Dorit Kemsley's husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, is facing yet another lawsuit. And in his response, he's arguing that he shouldn't be liable for his debt because too much time has passed.
As the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple faces a potential seizing of their assets, as well as numerous tax liens, it has been revealed that a UK organization has filed a lawsuit against PK, claiming he has an unpaid balance of $75,000 with Star Sports, a sports betting company.
On February 27, The Blast shared details from court documents, which revealed the UK's AR Legal Collections Limited was assigned to collect PK's debt and deliver the money back to Star Sports.
According to the lawsuit, PK owed Star Sports $260,737 in October 2016 but agreed to settle the debt with AR Legal Collections Unlimited for just $150,000. However, after making a one-time payment of $75,000, PK failed to pay off the remaining $75,000 balance.
In his own court documents, PK accused the company of filing their case past the statute of limitations and said they attempted to get their money from him "first by making threats to [PK] and his brother (who is entirely uninvolved with the debt) and then filing the lawsuit."
Because PK's bets allegedly took place between 2010 and 2011, he claims the company can no longer sue him because they waited too long and failed to provide evidence to back up their claims against him.
He is requesting the case be dismissed.
According to The Blast, PK owes $1.7 million to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for a past gambling debt and nearly $1 million in back taxes. He also owes $1.2 million to a man who gave him a personal loan years ago.
PK is due in court in April to address the latest lawsuit against him.

The number of African billionaires falls to 20
Emanuel de Macedo
Nigerian Aiko Dangote remains the richest man in Africa. As said by Forbes, the entrepreneur is at the top of the continent's list of billionaires, which reduced from 23 to 20 this year. Isabel dos Santos from Angola continues to be in the top 10 and she is accompanied by another woman, Folorunsho Alakija – from Nigeria.
Among the 20 billionaires, South Africa and Egypt have five each and are followed by Nigeria with four, and Morocco with two. Angola, Algeria, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have one each.
Together, the fortune of the billionaires sums up to 68.7 billion dollars. The previous number was 75 billion.
Isabel dos Santos, from Angola, is the only woman in the Forbes´ top 10
Isabel dos Santos from Angola is the only woman in the top 10. According to Forbes, the reason for the decline of the billionaires is the devaluation of some stocks and currencies in the continent. Thus, only 4 of those on the list did not have a reduction of their fortune compared to the previous year. Aliko Dangote built his fortune with his cement company, Dangote Cement, and investments in other areas. He is followed by Mike Adenuga – also Nigerian, an investor in telecommunications and oil fields. The third richest is South African Nicky Oppenheimer, who built his fortune in diamond trade.
Among the women, Angolan Isabel dos Santos is in eighth place and has investments in Portugal and Unites – Angola's telecommunications company and one of those responsible for the submarine cable linking Luanda and Fortaleza. Nigerian Folorunsho Alakija from Famfa Oil, has business with Brazil's Petrobas in the African continent.
Nabila Jebbouri is a 28-year-old young Moroccan researcher who has been researching the cultural ties between Brazil and her country. After participating in the promotion of the Oasis of Figuig as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, she has helped Chapada do Araripe, in northeastern Brazil, to achieve the same status. In August 2019, she participated in a thematic seminar to discuss the situation and intends to continue studying the cultural aspects of the region.
The first genomics research lab in Nigeria, ACEGID have begun a partnership with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and other research and public health partners, to implement the Sentinel project, that aims to develop an early warning system in Africa.
While the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is confronting the public health emergency posed by COVID-19, the country still faces the last phase of its Ebola virus epidemic.
The need for solidarity between nations was the main issue in a dialogue promoted by IBRAF
"No country can face this pandemic alone. It takes a joint effort and solidarity at all levels ". This is what Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said. He participated in the webinar "International Cooperation amid the Pandemic: Joint Solutions for Public Health", promoted by the Instituto Brasil África, which took place today, May 7.

You Can Do That With Google?
Now Bateeilee blog will post Ten Things You Didn't Know that Google Could Do. Google is arguably the most popular search engine on the Web today, but most people barely scratch the surface of what Google can really do. Here are ten things you (might) not have known that Google can do.
Google Base is a free online database that enables anyone from all over the world to post anything (as long as it falls under the Google Base Program Policies) they want. Jobs, recipes, classified ads, lecture notes - pretty much anything you can think of can be posted for free to Google Base.
What if you're out and about and can't remember the address of your destination? No problem - call Google Voice Local Search and get the information (business listings only) quickly and easily. It's extremely easy to use and will connect you for free. This convenient little service has been on my speed dial since the day of its debut.
There's an easy way to find free MP3 files with Google; actually, there's quite a few easy ways. Once you find these files, you can save them to a destination on your computer and listen.
Google Desktop is a very, VERY useful application that can help you find documents, emails, pretty much ANYTHING on your home computer using the power of Google's search engine. I don't know how I ever got along without Google Desktop always there to pick up my (sometimes unorganized) slack.
Google Pack is a bundled software download chock full of high quality software specifically selected by Google to make your search life easier. For example, you can download Picasa, Google Earth, Norton Security, Firefox, and many more software items - all for free.
Google Docs is a basic program that can use your existing spreadsheets or create new ones, share documents in real time, allow multiple people to edit information, and best of all, this collaborative tool is absolutely free.
Want to check if a flight is on time? How about if it's flying on schedule, where it's going, when it's landing, and when it's taking off? You can do all those things simply by typing in the name of the airlines plus the flight number, i.e., "Alaska Airlines 30" into the Google search box.
University websites are sometimes difficult to navigate, but Google University Search takes care of this problem. You can use this handy tool to search hundreds of different schools' sites, for anything from admissions information to course schedules to alumni news.
You can use the Google Language Tools to search for a phrase in another language, translate a block of text, see the Google interface in your language, or visit Google's home page in your country's domain.
You can use Google to search through the contents of ANY site on the Web. This especially comes in handy if you're looking for something obscure or dated.

Landlords welcome proposals on housing standards
Jessica Nangle
Labour MP Karen Buck has said she plans to re-introduce her Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Bill in Parliament tomorrow.
The Bill was originally brought to Parliament in June 2015 but was ended and no further progress was made.
It proposed an amendment to the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1985 to require that "residential rented accommodation is provided and maintained in a state of fitness for human habitation".
David Smith (pictured), policy director at the RLA, said: "This Bill reinforces what landlords should already be doing.
"By providing a route to direct tenant enforcement of basic housing standards the Bill will give a further opportunity to deal with the minority of landlords who have no place in the market.
"We look forward to working with Ms Buck as the Bill is developed and considered in Parliament."
Some of the provisions included rebuilding or reinstating a premise in the case of destruction or damage by an "inevitable accident" and to carry out works and repairs which require the consent of a superior landlord and which "consent has been refused".
Chris Norris, head of policy, public affairs and research at the National Landlords Association (NLA), commented: "The NLA met with Karen Buck MP in 2015 prior to the introduction of her private members bill and was happy to offer any support we could.
"Assuming that Ms Buck's new bill sets out to achieve the same goals as her previous attempt, the NLA remains happy to support its passage through Parliament and welcome it onto the statute books."

Q: Proving the equation of pair of lines is $x^2+2xy\sec(2\alpha)+y^2$ Prove that the equation of the pair of lines having an angle $\alpha$ with $x+y=0$ and passing through origin is $x^2+2xy\sec(2\alpha)+y^2=0$  I think we have to use rotation matrix but can't think of any concrete step to solve it.

A: Hint: Let $u=(x,y), v=(1,-1)$ and note that the angle condition means that $u\cdot v= \vert\vert u \vert\vert \cdot \vert\vert v \vert\vert \cos \alpha$

A: The equation of any straight line passing through $(0,0)$ is $y=mx$
Now $$\tan\alpha=\pm\dfrac{m-(-1)}{1+m(-1)}=\pm\dfrac{1+m}{1-m}$$
Squaring we get  $$\tan^2\alpha=\left(\dfrac{1+m}{1-m}\right)^2$$
Rearrange to form a Quadratic Equation in $m$
If the roots are $m_1,m_2;$ our required equation will be $$0=(y-m_1x)(y-m_2x)=y^2-xy(m_1+m_2)+m_1m_2x^2$$


Certainly one of the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts is regarding how to wire a switch. Even though using switches in the home is kind of straightforward, wiring a single might not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find various kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you might be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally popular change (as well as most basic).
You can find a few hues of wires in the usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them to the terminal screws - one on leading and the other around the bottom screw in the switch. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted power and is particularly ordinarily connected to some gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the green wire on the ground screw of your swap.
These measures would commonly be sufficient to produce an average change operate with out a challenge. Then again, should you will not be confident that you just can execute the undertaking properly and properly you much better let the pros do it alternatively. Following all, there is a explanation why this process is without doubt one of the most typical electrical wiring thoughts questioned by the majority of people.
For many reason, the best way to wire a ceiling fan can also be certainly one of one of the most popular electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this activity, you can use only one switch to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it's merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan towards the black wire with the change. If there is a light, the blue wire ought to be related towards the black wire with the switch as well.
You will discover factors why these are quite possibly the most typically requested electrical wiring concerns. A single, many consider it's basic to accomplish, and two, these are definitely the prevalent electrical responsibilities at your home. But then you really mustn't put your basic safety in danger in your intention to save cash. The stakes could even be a great deal increased for those who try to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring task without the need of adequate know-how or working experience.

A test for you to see how well you detect colours accurately.
V. Interesting! I scored 82....I did do this quickly on my lunch break....excuses.
I got 11, which I think is good, but it took me a while. You can't do that in a hurry; you can stare at it and suddenly realise two need swapping.
I got a 12. I think I could do it better if I did it in a different way than what I did but I am pretty satisfied with my 12. My misses were all in the middle and I can tell you that I flip flopped a few in the middle a few times but I think that if I slowed down I could do a little better.
I got 3, but my eyes hurt when I was done! The ones I missed were basically the middle 3, the blue/green colors.
I got a 3, and missed the same three.
So since I missed the same three we can agree the test is wrong and now I get a 9. I did re-do it once and got down to an 8 but I was not thinking that I had any wrong.
Damn it! I've got to make it upstairs on crutches to do this on the PC. Can't do it on the iPad.
I got a 4. Was rather fun to do. I could see where a poor monitor could REALLY lead you astray.


The Habsburgs of Central Europe deserve a special place in considerations of imperial collecting. The decoration of the ceiling of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna exemplifies how art (and other forms of patronage and collecting) have long been associated with the dynasty and its ambitions. Habsburg visions of empire were especially strong in the sixteenth century and seventeenth centuries. During the realm of Charles V (King of the Romans, then Holy Roman Emperor 1519-1558, and King of Spain, among other titles) their dreams of universal dominion seemed to become reality, as the Habsburgs controlled not only many of the lands once ruled by ancient Rome, but as Charles's personal own emblem (plus ultra) implied, also lands beyond Europe, including the Americas and from the 1570's the Philippines. Charles's brother and successor (Holy Roman Emperor 1558-1564) Ferdinand I moreover ruled over the kingdoms of Bohemia and Hungary (from 1526). Ferdinand I owned the first collection recorded as a Kunstkammer; its contents together with those of the Habsburg treasuries formed the basis of an inheritance that has enriched many museums in Central Europe. These collections have consequently gained a good deal of attention from scholarship and museum exhibitions.
This chapter concentrates on the Habsburg Kunstkammer of the sixteenth and early seventeenth century in Central Europe, which contained works of art and wonders of nature. Briefly reviewing some interpretations advanced in recent decades, this chapter reemphasizes how such collections possessed a universal dimension that parallels the microcosm with the macrocosm. The Habsburg collections symbolically paralleled their aspirations to political preeminence by suggesting control over the world. Today when globalization of culture has become a major theme of interest early modern collections can be seen in the light of global connections. The current display of the Kunsthistorisches Museum has indeed highlighted them by exhibiting objects in the Kunstkammer according to where they came from all over the world. The objects collected not only demonstrated the global reach and power of the ruler and the Habsburg dynasty, but like other cultural manifestations contemporary with the Kunstkammer suggested their truly imperial status.

Dealing with a drunk driving arrest can be one of the toughest things you ever do. Most of the people we represent are good people who made a poor decision and were caught in a bad situation. The Georgia criminal justice system treats a DUI charge seriously. A DUI has serious consequences.
It is a crime in Georgia to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol to the extent that it is less safe for you to do so. A driver or operator of a motor vehicle is under the influence of alcohol when the person is affected by alcohol to the extent that it is less safe for the person to drive than it would be if the person were not affected by alcohol.
"Less safe" is a very broad and vague term. A jury may find you "less safe" simply because you were weaving or did not property stop as well as you normally do. In fact, a jury may find you "less safe" even if you were driving perfectly.
Here are a few examples of the criminal cases and successes we have enjoyed over the years here at John A. Steakley, P.C. These samples are drawn from only the cases Mr. Steakley has handled as a defense attorney, and do not include the thousands of cases he handled as a prosecutor in both Tennessee and Georgia. Please keep in mind that all cases are different, so we can't promise similar outcomes in your case, but we would certainly hope to add your case to our growing list of victories.
Charges related to theft and burglary can range from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies that can result in substantial jail time if convicted. It is critical that you exercise your right to an attorney. You future and your freedom may depend on it.
