RECRUITING RECRUITING FEATURES
Prospect Progress Reports
Written by Doug Pugh on September 17, 2015
We are in week four of the regular season, but when you count the preseason classics we've seen five weeks of football and the opportunity to highlight some of the prospects that splashed during the summer. That means it's time to dish out some progress reports on some of the guys that we were watching with intent during the offseason. There's plenty more players to get to in the coming days, but here are some names to get you started.
CB – Dante Glover, Blake (2016)
Glover's got cover—skills that is. Dante was like a blanket this summer covering receivers and so far this season has 16 tackles, (2 of those for losses) and four pass deflections through the Yellow Jackets first three games. Blake opens district play with Brandon tomorrow.
RB – Otis Williams, King (2016)
Williams had a big night against Lennard last week rushing for 100+ yards in the Lions' loss to the Longhorns. So far this season, he's rushed for 472 yards on 47 carries and three touchdowns on the season. King hosts Hillsborough in a huge 6A-7 matchup this Friday.
QB – Tyler Wilkerson, Lakeland Christian (2016)
Wilkerson has been consistent throughout his time as a BCP camper during the offseason, but a transfer from Auburndale to LCS and working with the "QB whisperer" Wayne Peace has helped Tyler get off to a fast start for the Vikings. Wilkerson is completing 66-percent of his passes (29/44) with 516 yards, 7TD's and just 2 INT's. He's also carried the ball eleven times for 37 yards.
QB/LB – Nick Hernandez, Pinellas Park (2016)
The senior is playing a little bit of QB for the Patriots this season in addition to his responsibilities as a linebacker for Head Coach Kenny Crawford. Hernandez has 18 tackles, a sack and a QB hurry on the defensive side along with completing 6-of-14 of his passes for 127 yards and a touchdown on offense for P-Park.
RB – Ben Sirmons, Lakeland Christian (2016)
Another fast start for an LCS Viking and for this Xecutives MVP in particular. Sirmons has racked 312 yards on 26 carries and five touchdowns for the undefeated Vikings.
QB – Garrison Bryant, Clearwater (2016)
He was the MVP of Ignite all the way back last January–and he's on his way to being one of the MVP's of his offense for the Tornadoes. Clearwater has started the season blowing out their two opponents–and Bryant's 21-of-34, 308 yards and three touchdowns have helped his cause. Even bigger is ZERO interceptions in the first two games for him as well.
RB – John Clark, Largo (2016)
The E7 Spring MVP from the running backs position had a big night last week versus Tarpon Springs rushing for 117 yards in the Packers win. Clark has 346 yards on 47 carries and five touchdowns on the young season. The Packers open district play against Dixie Hollins this Friday.
LB – Decalon Brooks, Gaither (2017)
The Xecutives MVP from the LB spot has the pedigree–he recently received an offer from the University of Louisville–and he's already talked 45 tackles (6TFL's), 2 sacks good for -10 yards lost, and a pass deflection in the first three games for the Cowboys. He'll look to keep that going in a huge district game at Wharton on Friday.
WR/CB – Tyrek Scriven, Crystal River (2018)
Just a sophomore–Scriven burst on the scene at the final camp event in Pasco County during the summer. He's long and quick–and already caught 14 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. He's totaled 141 all-purpose yards as a member of the special teams for the Pirates as well. Scriven has 11 tackles and an interception from his CB spot on defense.
WR – Antoine Thompson, Plant City (2017)
There's plenty of options for the Raiders on offense, but Thompson has showed that consistency pays off as he's worked his way into a prominent role for PC this season. Thompson has caught 8 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown through the first three games for the Raiders. They'll host Strawberry Crest in their 7A-9 opener on Friday.
RB – Markese Hargrove, Plant City (2016)
Hargrove represents one of those many options for the Raiders along with Thompson, and was a beast during the summer offseason and it's paying dividends. So far through three games, Markese has rushed for 355 yards on 59 carries with three touchdowns and has caught 3 passes for 62 yards for Plant City.
LB – Patrick Lukert, Steinbrenner (2016)
Steinbrenner's 3-0 thanks to viable replacement at the QB position plus a stingy defense led by Lukert–with his 31 tackles that leads the team along with 11 tackles for loss. He's also recorded 6.5 sacks for a loss of -49 yards, caused two fumbles and recovered a fumble on the young season. The Warriors host Sarasota-Riverview in their 8A-6 opener.
LB – Tyler Mirabella, Steinbrenner (2016)
The man right beside Lukert is also performing to the same standards that we saw him and his teammate set during the summer. Mirabella's second on the squad in tackles with 26 (8TFL's) and recorded 2.5 sacks that have resulted in a loss of -12 yards and caused two fumbles.
DL – Javaris Sanders, Largo (2016)
The E7 Spring MVP from the defensive line has tallied 25 tackles for Largo on the season along with a sack, a pass deflection and four QB hurries.

acceler8 has a unique approach to data transformation.
Acceler8 has developed a transformation platform that uses a unique and powerful declarative approach. It enables real time feedback and accelerates as well as simplifies the requirements discovery, production, testing and reconciliation of simple to ultra-complex data transformation projects.
All run-time interface and migration services can be deployed on an elastic cloud enabling the availability necessary for large data migrations. Alternatively, traditional in-house installations are available.
A unique declarative transformation grammar allows the generation of run-time code directly and automatically from requirements. This in turn allows the requirements to be discovered and changed rapidly without the traditional development cycle and the associated costs of change control.
A unique declarative platform using industry standard run-time components supporting multiple deployment patterns on many platforms.
At its heart is an advanced declarative transpiler which automatically generates the implementation avoiding the need for manual coding.
The use of this declarative approach greatly accelerates the production, testing, discovery and reconciliation of simple to ultra-complex data transformation projects.
Reduced risk and TCO. Completeness, reconciliation and regression tests are the key to knowing whether the transformations are correct. These can be automatically created alongside the main transformation from the same sources. This reduces risk and drives down Total Cost of Ownership.
Flexibility. The platform acts as a "Zero Insertion Force" component to your existing software and hardware infrastructure.
Efficiency. Reuse exists at the requirements level enabling existing declarations and transformations to reduce development time.
Reduce costs and time to market. The declarative approach enables faster project completion.
It is possible to migrate data from one legacy line-of-business system to another.
Systems migration can be very complex. When implementing a new system, business users are learning about the functionality and determining what historical data can be brought over. Often the target systems are changing during the process. Often decisions are made to limit the amount of data due to complexity and cost factors.
However, acceler8's transformation platform allows business users to easily migrate all current and historical data correctly cleansed, updated and reconciled.
Designed to deal with requirement discovery and change during the process (requirements do not have to be complete before the process starts).
The migration of all historical transactions (not just the current state) with the necessary cleansing and application of business logic.
In one operation over hours not days.
Fully tested, verified, audited and reconciled.


Just because a bag of Cheetos cost less than a bag of apples, it doesn't mean that you should go for Cheetos. Sometimes people don't realize that the money they spend on junk food a.k.a. "food we can live without" could have been used to buy more nutritious foods. Challenge yourself and do your groceries without passing by the processed food aisles and you'll be surprised how much money you are going to save. Ditch carbonated drinks, candy bars, sugary cereals, potato chips and snack cakes and opt for healthier alternatives like rolled oats, plain yogurt, sugar snap peas and unsalted nuts.
Frozen fruits and veggies are generally cheaper than their fresh counterparts. Another benefit is that they are already pre-washed and pre-cut so you can save time when cooking. Some foodies believe that frozen fruits and vegetables may be better than fresh ones, at least nutrition-wise. When you keep fruits and veggies in your fridge for a while, they tend to lose their nutritional value. With the frozen ones, the nutrients are retained until you are ready to defrost and use them. To save more money, you can buy in bulk.
It's okay if you can't afford to buy salmon or a nice cut of rib-eye steak all the time. Just reserve those for your birthday or anniversary. There are other good sources of protein out there that are cheaper and way healthier. Some of the best proteins you can buy that won't hurt your wallet include organic tofu, beans, nuts, seeds, canned salmon, ground turkey, frozen chicken breast, eggs and yogurt.
Believe it or not, you can prepare gourmet-quality meals without the hefty price tag. There are thousands of recipes that you can find online that do not require you to spend a lot of money on. Make sure you always have items in your kitchen that are easy to cook and budget-friendly like sweet potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables, soups, rice, beans, lentils, meat and fish. Soups are a staple in almost everyone's kitchen because you can easily whip up a nice meal just by adding veggies and leftover meat or beans. Watch out for promos and if you see any of your staple items go on sale, buy as much as you can afford.

Q: How to generate frequency table from raw data in R I am new to R. I want to generate a frequency table from raw data (decimals) like:
x
      V1
1  10.10
2  46.65
3  53.60
4  38.50
5  45.95
6  12.25
7  59.60
8  23.30
9  11.05
10 58.35
11 40.20
12 11.05
13 10.45
14 26.45
15 13.25
16 21.15
17 35.00
18 29.05
19 25.40
20 47.20
21 42.45
22 57.30
23 55.65
24 56.50
25 26.95
26 59.65
27 32.10
28 29.00
29 34.75
30 21.65

into something like this:
Class            Frequency
(10.00 - 19.99)         6
(20.00 - 29.99)         8
(30.00 - 39.99)         4
(40.00 - 49.99)         5
(50.00 - 59.99)         7

I use the code below:
factorx<-factor(cut(x, breaks=nclass.Sturges(x)))

but I get something like this:

Error in cut.default(x, breaks = nclass.Sturges(x)) : 'x' must be numeric

How should I make 'x' numeric?
As requested:

h <- dput(x)
  structure(list(V1 = c(10.1, 46.65, 53.6, 38.5, 45.95, 12.25,
  59.6, 23.3, 11.05, 58.35, 40.2, 11.05, 10.45, 26.45, 13.25, 21.15,
  35, 29.05, 25.4, 47.2, 42.45, 57.3, 55.65, 56.5, 26.95, 59.65,
  32.1, 29, 34.75, 21.65)), .Names = "V1", class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
  -30L))

A: x is a data frame.  x$V1 is numeric.
factor(cut(x$V1, breaks=nclass.Sturges(x$V1)))

A: If you know what breakpoints you are using you can just use hist with plot=FALSE
hist will return histogram class object (h in below example). h$counts gives you frequency for given histogram cells defined by breaks argument.
> x
 [1] 10.10 46.65 53.60 38.50 45.95 12.25 59.60 23.30 11.05 58.35 40.20 11.05 10.45 26.45 13.25 21.15 35.00 29.05 25.40 47.20

Health department announces 32 COVID-19 recoveries
Nine new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed on Tuesday morning, bringing the overall total of cases in the county to 71, according to the Davidson County Health Department.
Also in the latest information released on its website, representatives with the health department also reported there are 32 people who have recovered after being confirmed positive for coronavirus.
Health department officials reported the first death in Davidson County due to COVID-19 on Monday. The individual died at Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center and had underlying medical conditions and was also considered to be high-risk for contracting the virus based on their age. The deceased person was in his or her in late 80s.
Individual confirmed positive cases geographically span across Davidson County and in compliance with federal HIPAA laws no personal information, including addresses of positive individuals will be shared.
The Davidson County Health Department confirmed the first positive case of COVID-19 on March 16.
According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services website, as of Tuesday morning there are 3,221 confirmed cases and 46 deaths due to the coronavirus statewide.
The Health Department states that not all people with COVID-19 will have severe symptoms and some individuals may only develop mild symptoms or show none of the symptoms at all. It said individuals who are positive for COVID-19 are most likely to spread the virus when symptomatic (coughing), but those who are not coughing may also spread this extremely contagious virus.
A spokesperson for Davidson County Health Department said most confirmed cases in the county are considered to be contracted by community transmission, which means it was contracted due to contact with people in the area who have the virus.
"It is important that Davidson County citizens know that the positive cases are not concentrated to a specific area or region of our county, and we do have widespread transmission occurring throughout our community," read a statement from the Davidson County Health Department.
Representatives with the health department said that due to the numbers of cases being reported, not everyone is getting tested for coronavirus and if they meet certain criteria, will be presumed positive and should avoid contact with others.
Anyone who is displaying symptoms, including a high fever and coughing, should contact their health care provider or use the hotlines set up at local hospitals to determine treatment.
Davidson County has setup hotlines for anyone with questions or concerns about contracting COVID-19 at (336) 236-3327. Residents can get up-to-date information from the Davidson County Health Department at https://www.co.davidson.nc.us/200/Health.

The World Bank has lost about 100 billion dollars slated for development in the world's poorest nations to corruption since 1946, nearly 20 percent of its total lending portfolio, according to a U.S. Senate committee.
WASHINGTON: The World Bank has lost about 100 billion dollars slated for development in the world's poorest nations to corruption since 1946, nearly 20 percent of its total lending portfolio, according to a U.S. Senate committee.
Other experts estimate that between five and 25 percent of the 525 billion dollars the Bank has lent since 1946 has been misused. This amounts to 26-130 billion dollars.
"Even if corruption is at the low end of estimates, millions of people living in poverty may have lost opportunities to improve their health, education and economic condition," Lugar said.
Corruption has become a global issue as developing countries, watchdog groups and some economists complain that poor nations lose huge funds from multilateral development banks (MDBs) like the World Bank because of misuse of money. Yet taxpayers in those borrowing countries have to still to repay the banks.
"So, not only are the impoverished cheated out of development benefits, they are left to repay the resulting debts to the banks," Lugar added.
The estimates emerged at the first in a series of oversight hearings into the anti-corruption efforts of the World Bank and other multilateral development banks (MDBs), which include the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Testifying at Thursday's hearing were the U.S. representatives to the World Bank and the IDB, as well as four outside experts.
Manish Bapna, executive director of the Washington-based watchdog group Bank Information Centre (BIC), said corruption threatens the core mission of those banks: poverty alleviation.
"While MDBs profess 'zero tolerance' for corruption in their projects and programmes, this rhetorical commitment has not always been meaningfully implemented," Bapna said.
Corruption can also undermine the development impact of the banks' projects, for example, if contractors use diluted cement in civil works like road-building, officials permit illegal timber harvesting in restricted forest areas, or grant profitable public contracts to well-connected cronies of government officials.
Another example mentioned at the hearing is a project in Lesotho, Africa. Last year a court in that country convicted the director of the Lesotho Highland Water Authority, as well as two international contractors who had paid bribes, of corruption in the awarding of contracts. The World Bank financed part of the project.
Professor Jerome I Levinson of the Washington College of Law at the American University referred to that particular case, and suggested there is a remedy for such actions.
The bank says its list of barred companies and individuals now includes 90 names.
Levinson also noted that such projects are usually financed or administered through an auxiliary of a parent company, which is created just to carry out a particular project and then dissolved once the work is completed. That parent should be held responsible for any corrupt activities, he added.
Human rights as World Bank loan condition?


As mentioned before, I once wrote an incredibly brilliant essay about Camus's Meursault and Michaux's Plume. Lost it. Nothing as tragic as a car crash. Nothing as dramatic as getting it stolen in Paris. It's just gone. So, anyway. Thinking about Camus and Michaux and Joyce's Leopold Bloom made me think about the connections between the characters. Yet again. Along comes Charlie Chaplin into the mix, and another memory. Of seeing his statue in Ireland, in Waterville by the sea….
In honor of Saint Patty's Day, I thought it a good thing to watch "Once", once again. Its simple beauty held up, the emotional power remained, and I came away from it with more joy in me heart than I had before rewatching it. It's just quite nearly a perfect film. No pretense. No artifice. Just golden, raw, innocent emotion, but never naive. True. The movie rings true, like guitars around a campfire. Like guitars in the streets of Dublin….

A French manicure; a bright, bold colour; some funky nail art… I love treating my nails to a nice polish and treatment every so often.
Well, more often than not, to be honest, but there is something about the whole experience that makes me feel better.
Pic credit: Nailed by Lou
Pre-Covid, when normal times allowed, I also enjoyed being able to sit down with my nail technician. We would chat, laugh, and generally try to put the world to rights – the time always felt like two friends catching up, rather than a nail tech and her client – and a nice bonus was that I'd also come away from the appointment with a set of really pretty nails.
And nails don't come any prettier than those from Nailed By Lou.
Based in Lisburn, Lou has been a fully qualified nail tech for the past eight years. She initially started her career working from home before she was approached by a salon owner who was hiring for nail techs. Lou subsequently worked at the salon for around four years when she decided it was time to go out on her own and she now rents her own station in another salon in the city.
Over the years Lou has made her mark in the beauty sector by delivering amazing nails. We're not talking about a normal set of nicely painted nails, by the way, but rather some incredibly impressive nail art. In fact, her work is so impressive that she was crowned Creative Nail Stylist of the Year two years ago and was a Nail Tech of the Year finalist in both 2019 and 2020.
"Being crowned Creative Nail Stylist of the Year in 2018 at the Hair & Beauty Awards is definitely the highlight of my career," Lou admits modestly. "It was the biggest shock, but an amazing experience."
The accolade may have been a surprise for Lou at the time but a quick look at her portfolio – as well as the positive reviews from her clients – reveals that there could have been no other winner.
Art itself has always come naturally to Lou and while she says inspiration for her work can strike from anywhere, she also "likes to put my own twist on things."
This was the case recently when Lou unleashed her skills to welcome the Christmas season… by creating a 3D set of Grinch nails. "I challenged myself to try it [3D] with my new nail art products and it turned out really well. I'm proud of this set."
Other Christmas nails Lou has designed over the past few weeks include gonks, penguins, and snowmen; but there are other holidays, as well as custom requests from clients, that Lou will happily cater for. Again, in normal times, Lou has a regular busy and full schedule with clients looking gorgeous nails, but it isn't all about the work. A lot of the enjoyment in the job also comes courtesy of those who come into the salon.
"I've met some awesome people through my career," Lou says, "and I have made really good friends with other nail techs. I also have the best clients that spoil me rotten. It is more than just a job, and I've really missed the interaction with all the lockdowns during the pandemic."
The pandemic has affected the beauty industry over the past number of months, and while we do hope for some normality in 2021, there is currently some uncertainty around opening in the new year. Let's keep our fingers (and pretty nails) crossed that we'll be back to our salons and catching up with our nail techs again soon.
A small selection of Lou's work can be viewed below…

When Gateses split, Melinda's influence could grow
By Jay Greene
May 9, 2021 — 11.55am
Seattle: As the power couple of giving splits, Melinda French Gates' global influence in philanthropy could grow even further, reflecting her own values and interests.
At the Gates Foundation, French Gates, who now prefers to be referred to by her maiden name, has frequently spearheaded efforts focused on women's empowerment, an area where some philanthropy experts say she could expand her giving. Women's issues have always been a part of the foundation's giving, although it is best known for its initiatives to address global health and, more recently, to end the coronavirus pandemic.
Bill Gates has long cast the largest shadow at the foundation. He cemented his fortune, which Forbes pegs at $130.4 billion, by co-founding the software giant Microsoft. When Gates directed his focus to philanthropy two decades ago, he also seized attention, wielding outsize influence in the areas where the foundation gives due to the enormity of his wealth.
French Gates has had to address the idea of living in her husband's shadow for years. In a 2006 interview with The Wall Street Journal, as French Gates began to take a more public role at the foundation, she acknowledged that the public erroneously "thought the foundation was really Bill".
But French Gates has hardly been a wallflower. She spoke before the UN General Assembly in 2010 about reducing poverty and halting the spread of HIV, gave a TED talk in 2012 about providing global access to birth control, and in 2019 wrote a book, The Moment of Lift, about empowering women to help alleviate global suffering.
Two years ago, in an interview with The Washington Post, French Gates talked about how meeting child brides and victims of abuse motivated her giving.
Melinda Gates in the maternity room at Dowa District Hospital, in Dowa, Malawi .
"I have to let my heart break. Because it's what ends up fuelling the work," she said.
"Bill and Melinda will remain co-chairs and trustees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation," the foundation said in a statement. "No changes to their roles or the organisation are planned. They will continue to work together to shape and approve foundation strategies, advocate for the foundation's issues, and set the organisation's overall direction."
When their divorce is finalised, French Gates seems likely to emerge with her own fortune, making her one of the wealthiest women in the world. And she will have the ability to direct those funds toward causes to which she might not have otherwise given.
"She might have some areas she wants to pursue separately. She'll have that opportunity," said Jim Ferris, director of the Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy at the University of Southern California. "The work the foundation has been doing on women's empowerment is her thing."
She recently pressed the Biden administration to push to make child care and long-term care more affordable because of the unfair burden that often falls to women to take on those tasks and sacrifice their careers.
"Now, with child-care centers closed, schools operating remotely and families caring for sick adults and ageing parents at home, what was previously untenable has become almost impossible - especially for single mothers, essential workers and others working low-wage jobs with unpredictable hours," French Gates wrote in a December op-ed in the Post.
Altering the priorities at a giant and well-established philanthropy seems unlikely, said Peter Frumkin, professor of social policy and practice at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Strategic Giving: The Art and Science of Philanthropy.
"It is very hard to change directions quickly when you have a huge institution with multi-year commitments outstanding around the world," Frumkin said.
Tom Vander Ark, who ran the Gates Foundation's education giving efforts from 1999 to 2006, called French Gates "a fast study but also very empathic with people". She wasn't initially involved in strategy but became engaged quickly.
"Her first action was to request a visit of some of the toughest conditions in the country," Vander Ark said. They visited a tough Oakland, California school, "much to the chagrin of her security detail" he recalled.
While Gates excels at consuming and synthesising data, French Gates builds relationships with ease. "They had complementary views and talents," Vander Ark said.
One window into French Gates' priorities may be Pivotal Ventures. She set up the investment arm in 2015 to invest in and incubate companies that focus on a handful of issues dear to her, including paid leave and caregiving innovation, addressing racial equity as a barrier for women in the United States and getting more women to run for public office.
"What you are seeing is an increased focus on women and girls, particularly women and girls of colour," said Megan Francis, a political science professor at the University of Washington.

Last June, Pivotal Ventures launched the Equality Can't Wait Challenge, a competition seeded initially with $30 million to fund ideas to help expand women's power and influence in the US.
MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of another Seattle billionaire, Amazon founder and Post owner Jeff Bezos, contributed to the initiative.
Scott's divorce settlement two years ago set a record, giving her an Amazon stake worth approximately $36 billion at the time. And her fortune has soared, along with Amazon's stock, since then, climbing to $58.5 billion, according to Forbes. Scott has quickly moved to donate massive chunks of her wealth, giving nearly $6 billion last year to schools and organisations that are committed to racial and gender equity and that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
Scott's approach differs from the Gates Foundation, which often talks about the catalytic effect of its philanthropy, funding that triggers additional funding from governments or other charitable groups. That has sometimes led to criticism over the Gateses' outsize influence in giving.
Scott's gifts, though, have come with no strings attached, an approach that Francis says French Gates might follow.
"There is such an opportunity for her to rewrite the playbook," Francis said.

Singtel rolling out VoWiFi in August
It's not known if service will be free or a paid add-on; other telcos launching versions later

Singtel mobile customers will soon be able to make phone calls using Wi-Fi through their phone's inbuilt dialler, without using apps such as Skype and WhatsApp.
The telco yesterday said it was rolling out its Voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) service island-wide in August.
VoWiFi service will be available on any accessible Wi-Fi network, including those at home, in the office and Wireless@SG locations, regardless of the Internet service provider supplying the access on the Wi-Fi network.
"This will allow Singtel mobile users to make uninterrupted voice calls and text over Wi-Fi in locations such as basements and buildings over 20 storeys high," Singtel said in a statement.
The telco did not respond to queries on whether this service would be provided free or as a paid add-on to existing plans.
Making calls through Wi-Fi can help users cut down on their talktime minutes, which potentially saves costs should they go over their monthly talktime allocation.
Making phone calls through Wi-Fi can help users cut down on their talktime minutes, which potentially saves costs should they go over their monthly talktime allocation.
Other telcos in Singapore say they would be rolling out their own VoWiFi services, too.
M1 said it would launch its service by the end of the year, while StarHub said it is monitoring how VoWiFi will work with its current HD voice service over the 3G and 4G networks before rolling out the service island-wide.
The VoWiFi rollout follows the results of a Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) trial conducted by local telcos and Internet service providers in collaboration with the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) in the Jurong Lake District over the past year.
HetNet is a new wireless system that allows users to automatically switch between Wi-Fi and cellular networks, like 4G, in order to minimise surfing slowdowns and disruptions.
This way, a user making a call through VoWiFi can step out of range of the Wi-Fi network and continue the conversation without dropping the call as the phone will automatically switch to a cellular network.
Ninety per cent of those who took part in the trial had a better user experience, with faster speeds and smooth transitions between wireless and cellular networks, said IDA co-managing director Gabriel Lim.

People like photographs. Here's some evidence from Social Bakers. This graph shows the most popular posts on Facebook: overwhelmingly, they're photos.
That wasn't because 87% of Facebook posts are photographs, either: only 75% of Facebook posts are photos.
You can also check out how Google Plus users use that network. Watch how photos get more and more popular.
This suggests that if you want people to stop at your poster, you should work hard to find relevant photos. Make those photos big and prominent.
And I do specifically mean photos, not just pictures. Graphs probably are not going to have the same attention grabbing impact.

Q: link to a page and display a specific tab contents I do not know Javascript very well, and I'm working with some sample javascript tab code that I pulled off the Internet. I have a page (Travel) with many tabs (years). Each tab opens different content (links to photo galleries) in the same page. When clicked, each gallery opens in a new page. On that new page, I want to link back to the Travel page and display the content of a specific tab (the same year the user is viewing).
I'm using Bootstrap 4.5.0
Running on localhost (Win10)
Code from Travel page

  <button class="tablinks" onClick="openYear(event, 'A few words')" id="defaultOpen">A few words</button>
  <button class="tablinks" onClick="openYear(event, '2002')">2002</button>
  <button class="tablinks" onClick="openYear(event, '2003')">2003</button>

2002

        Vienna, Austria

        Sicily (Savoca)

       Sicily (Cefalu)

On the "Travel" page if I select the second tab ("2002"), the page displays a series of links. Clicking on one of these links opens a new page - "Sicily1.html. On this page I want to create a link and point back to "travel.html" and when loaded, have that page display content from the tab "2002", not the default tab content.
Thanks

A: You can pass a query string parameter when navigating back to "travel.html":
<form action="travel.html?year=insert_year">
    <input type="submit" value="Go Back" />
</form>

And on the "travel.html" you can add an event listener to the page loading and active the specific tab if present in the query string parameters:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){
    const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    const myParam = urlParams.get('year');
    // activate tab
});

History changing characters, attracted to multiple: Ben Macintyre
New Delhi: The British author, Ben Macintyre has bought some extraordinary historic stories from his penchant. An American prince in 1830s Afghanistan, the notorious but unlikely double agents of the Second World War and the Cold War, a corpse that deceived the Nazis, a famous German philosopher's sister trying to set up a colony in the 19th century South America are some of them.
Macintyre said in an interview, "I am attracted to double, different characters, complex characters, of some unlikely people in unexpected settings.'' Macintyre wrote 10 books on history, including biography of Ian Fleming and the latest one on double spy 'Kim' Philby.
The British historian and author came here for Jaipur Literature Festival.
His debut "Forgotten Fatherland: The Search for Elisabeth Nietzsche" (1992) is about Friedrich Nietzsche's sister. It tells her attempt to set up a German colony in Paraguay "racially pure" and vegetarian in the 1880s. It tells about the twist and turns in her own theories on race and nationalism to create a distortion in her theory -broke by Hitler and the Nazis to their own ends.
Macintyre told that he worked on these topics by the motif of "unlikely people, with a rich vein of eccentricity, who willingly convert themselves in a new culture".
After "The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth" (1997) and "A Foreign Field" (2001), about four British soldiers, who cut off behind enemy lines in France during World War I, lived in a village for over an year before being betrayed and shot as spies, he returned to this theme of "transplanted" people.
"The Man Who Would Be King: The First American in Afghanistan" (2004) is the story of Quaker Josiah Harlan (1799-1871), who reached British India and became an army surgeon, served Maharaja Ranjit Singh and then found himself in Afghanistan, where he became the prince of Ghor and raised the American flag on the Hindukush range during an expedition.
Macintyre says that he got to know about Harlan's name in a historical piece on Afghanistan, which is related to the American invasion of 9/11, dug into research including reading his memoirs which are unpublished and "possibly unread". Harlan's went back home and died in poverty.
"Harlan was an extraordinary, complicated figure. He was not an obvious hero… was a very tricky and difficult man," he said.
He also told about his trilogy of World War II deception operations. "Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman" (2007) is about a British conman who was captured by Germans and made him agree to work for them and give wrong information to his handlers, even in face-to-face encounters.
"Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story that Changed the Course of World War II" (2010) is about a varied cast including an eccentric RAF officer, a gifted Jewish barrister, a famous forensic pathologist, a gold prospector, a beautiful secret service secretary, a submariner, three novelists, a transvestite English spymaster, an irascible admiral, and a dead Welsh tramp's plan that convinced Germans that the Allies were poised to conquer Greece, not Sicily in 1943.
"Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies" (2012), which illustrated Germans on the Normandy landings, has an equally strange cast – a bisexual Peruvian playgirl, a Polish fighter pilot, a Serbian seducer, a wildly imaginative Spaniard, and a hysterical Frenchwoman.
Macintyre said that there are a lot of books on these events but mostly were not based on documented evidence but "propaganda" written post-war. "It was a huge amount and full of details… very interesting," he said.
"A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal" (2014) is on the British spy who worked long for the Russians.
"Philby was a double character who was the spy in the enemy camp who ended up running it, but always remained a puzzled character," he said.
Macintyre said, ''Philby figures in several novels and his life was so extraordinary that it didn't need a fiction and if his life was presented as fiction them it is hard to believe.''(IANS) (image:jaipurliteraturefestival.org)

Monica Bascio (born September 16, 1969) is an American Paralympic cross-country skier, biathlete, and handcyclist. Making her Paralympic debut at the Paralympic Winter Games Torino 2006, she has competed in a total of four Paralympic Games. At London 2012, Bascio secured two silver medals in handcycling. She was named the United States Olympic Committee's Paralympic Sportswoman of the Year in 2013.

Following her retirement after Paralympic Winter Games Sochi 2014, Bascio was diagnosed with colon cancer later that year. She went through surgery and chemotherapy treatment and has been cancer free since April 2015.

In September 2016, she was elected to the International Paralympic Committee Athletes' Council, where she works to be a voice and an advocate for Paralympic athletes all over the world. In 2018, Monica was appointed to the IOC Athlete's Entourage Commission, and was also invited to serve on the Adaptive Spirit board of directors.

Early life and education
Bascio was born in Massapequa, New York. In 1992, Bascio had an accident while skiing which caused her to become a paraplegic. She moved to California after her accident and earned a degree from San Jose State University in 1999.

Competition
At the IPC World Handcycle Championships in 2002, she won a gold medal for cycling in the individual time trial and a silver for the road race.

After five years on the U.S. handcycling team, she took up Nordic skiing in 2002 and began competing in the world cup circuit 2004. Bascio competed at the Paralympic Winter Games Torino 2006, where she finished fifth in the 10-kilometer cross-country race and fourth in the sprint biathlon race.

She accepted a 3-month ban from the United States Anti-Doping Agency for an unintentional anti-doping rule violation and was stripped from her awards and prizes due to the violation. She apologized, and was reinstated for competition on August 26, the day before she traveled to the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

Choraeuspriset är ett litterärt pris som delas ut årligen av Olof och Siri Granholms stiftelse för den svenskösterbottniska litteraturen. Priset har delats ut sedan år 1995, med undantag för år 2010 och år 2012. År 1995 var prissumman 9 000 finska mark. Nu uppgår den till 12 000 euro.

Priset utses av stiftelsens styrelse och delas ut utan ansökan. Pristagaren belönas primärt inte för ett enskilt verk utan för sitt författarskap. Priset kan också delas ut till personer vars författarskap ännu inte är så omfattande, om de uppvisar begåvning, skicklighet och originalitet. Organisationer och institutioner som befrämjar den svenskösterbottniska litteraturen kan också erhålla priset.

Priset har fått sitt namn efter författaren och prästen Michael Choraeus. Han föddes i Vörå 1774, men flyttade till Sverige i femtonårsåldern efter faderns död och togs omhand av släktingar. Han utbildades vid Uppsala universitet och var under en tid verksam som privatlärare i Jakobstad och Åbo. Choraeus levde i Sverige största delen av sitt liv men hade starka band till Finland.

«Ленингра́дское» — советский и российский сорт светлого пива, один из самых крепких в СССР.

Сорт был разработан специалистами ВНИИ пивоваренной и винодельческой промышленности. Внедрён в производство на пивоваренных заводах Наркомпищепрома в 1936 году.

В Советском Союзе «Ленинградское» являлось массовым сортом — наряду с «Жигулёвским» и «Московским».

«Ленинградское» в советских стандартах
Начиная с 1938 года «Ленинградское» присутствует в советских стандартах и регламентируется как светлое пиво низового брожения. Однако состав сырья для его изготовления и сроки дображивания менялись со временем; вместе с ними менялись и некоторые другие предписываемые показатели напитка.

Общесоюзный стандарт ОСТ-350 описывает его как пиво, имеющее винный и сильно выраженный хмелевой вкус. Оно должно было иметь плотность начального сусла не ниже 18 % и содержать не менее 5 % весовых (позднее — по массе) спирта.
Для его изготовления кроме пивоваренного солода и культурного хмеля применялось 3,3 килограмма сахара на один гектолитр пива. После основного брожения это пиво должно было выдерживаться в подвале не менее 45 суток. Пиво разливалось в бутылки ёмкостью 0,35 литра.

В стандарте 1946 года вместо сахара предписано применять 3,5 кг рисовой сечки на гектолитр пива; оно должно иметь винный привкус и сильно выраженный хмелевый вкус. Выдержка в подвале повышена до 90 дней, изменены и физико-химические показатели: плотность повышена до 20 %, крепость — до 6 % в массовых долях или 7,5 % в объёмных.

Следующий стандарт устанавливал применение рисовой муки или рисовой сечки в количестве 10 % от общего количества зерноприпасов во время затирания. При тех же показателях плотности, крепости и выдержки пиво должно иметь винный привкус (о хмеле речь уже не идёт).

В республиканских технических условиях РТУ РСФСР 1961 года не устанавливались требования к сырью для конкретных сортов: состав его определялся соответствующими рецептурами.
Здесь рядом с «Ленинградским» появилась новинка: «Ленинградское оригинальное» — пиво, похожее на традиционное «Ленинградское», с той же плотностью (20 %) и той же крепостью (6 %), но в отличие от последнего оно должно было выдерживаться не менее 100 дней. Имелись и значительные различия в органолептических показателях: «Ленинградское» имеет винный привкус и слабый хмелевой аромат, а «Ленинградское оригинальное» — хмелевые вкус и аромат с винным привкусом.

В следующих общесоюзных стандартах «Ленинградское» — пиво с теми же параметрами; оно характеризуется хмелевым вкусом с винным привкусом и хмелевым ароматом.

Республиканский стандарт «Пиво. Национальные сорта. Общие технические условия» 1984 года повторяет характеристики «Ленинградского оригинального» — его параметры, хмелевые вкус и аромат с винным привкусом.

Варианты «Балтики»
К 300-летнему юбилею Санкт-Петербурга под торговой маркой «Балтика» появился сорт «Ленинградское светлое». Это пастеризованное пиво имеет плотность 11 %, содержит содержит алкоголя не менее 4 % об. В составе — вода, светлый и карамельный ячменный солода, ячмень и хмель.

«Ленинградское крепкое» той же компании по своим параметрам более похоже на советский сорт: его плотность — 18 %, крепость — не менее 7,5 % об. Состав: вода, светлый ячменный солод, мальтозная патока, рис и хмелепродукты.

Salvatore Ganacci - Horse
Vedran is a 32-year-old director living in Gothenburg, originally from Bosnia but came to Sweden as a refugee when he was 6 years old.
He started doing films in high school when he gave up on his dream of becoming a scientist. Science seemed too boring. Like one has to be really thorough and you have to prove everything. Just making stuff up seemed so much more convenient.
So he started to make films. First documentaries, but much like science, you can't make stuff up. My first documentary turned out so bad that I decided to go to collage and study film. But he quickly dropped out, and together with a bunch of other dropouts, he started doing shorter, narrative films, and here he is....

Q: why require login when already add cookie on browser? I login to website successfully and cookie add in browser for that website
but 1 day later, I enter this website so website require me login although I check cookie still available
somebody can help me to explain in this case !
P/S:this website use PHP source. in case appear in some other PHP website

A: So what it sounds like is happening is that the session cookie (the cookie used to authenticate you) expired. Cookies are often set to expire to log you out of a given application for security reasons (to prevent cases such as someone else using your computer and accessing your banking details because the cookie didn't expire and you didn't explicitly click  log out).


Talent shine through like the light from the above constellation.
However reborn such as a phoenix from fire.
For many people, journaling is a big part of recovery. When I was asked whether I journaled when I came to Recover 7 months ago, my heart sunk. My critical voice was so loud, I couldn't get myself to put pen to paper. Every word would be scrutinised in my mind. For instance, the content or my handwriting – which I perceived to be childish and messy.
I stopped doing the things I loved, and with that…lost my voice. I have always been a creative person, it just runs through my veins, I love it! But the more ill I became, the more I was losing my artistic personality. I went to art college after finishing school and soon left. I then thought I had to follow societies pressures and go to a 'prestigious' university to get a 'valuable' degree and be well accomplished – by other people's standards and what I believed would make me successful. I didn't care about happiness or my core self at this stage. My backbone was weak and I was so into my eating disorder that I felt I had to 'achieve'.
I spent two years at university where I didn't fit in and didn't enjoy it. Coming to Recover has changed the focus of my life: I have left university unfinished – which I never thought I would do to focus on creativity – and with plans to study Fine Arts. As my backbone becomes stronger, imagining each vertebra solidifying one by one, I am finding myself and having the courage to follow what I love, and be who I was put on this earth to be.
Looking at my artwork now, I see a massive transition from my work years ago. There is so much more substance as a result of my growth, and it is much more empowered. I have taken a lot of inspiration from empowering women's poetry and art. My art at the moment reflects the process of recovery, self-discovery, the ability to feel emotions and cope with them, and also acceptance of having a woman's body.
I have seen that you can be the centre of your art, which creates a truly raw and authentic subject, and is not egocentric but rather self-compassionate and self-caring.

The best guide to video bloggers, article publishers, or any online entrepreneur, who are searching alternative from article monetization base to video monetization.
Is this possible? Yes, It is, The countries latest advertising and video monetizing tips report that video monetization platforms are growing in numbers from YouTube to Vimeo, from Facebook to Instagram.
Market with them. When you market with your videos, you use them to increase your online presence, promote your products and services, promote affiliate products and services, and so on.
Monetize videos through ads. YouTube's pre-roll ads, for instance, earn you cash when people click on the ads.
Sell your videos. Amazon allows you to upload videos to sell to people as products through their online storefront. And Vimeo lets you create a paywall around premium video content.
The ad income will vary drastically based on who is viewing your content and if you can have your inventory direct sold or if you're using google to fill it and if you have an MCN taking a cut, etc.
Run pre-roll ads. Not everyone can monetize with ads, though. You need an audience that's a certain size. And, even then, it can be difficult to earn really big bucks, unless you're an online celebrity.
Sell your own products or affiliate products. This is a common strategy that can get you more money, even if you don't have the traffic to earn through ads. Include product links in the video itself, in the video description, and talk about products in the video content.
Drive traffic down your sales funnel. Get people to subscribe to your channel, opt-in to email lists, and so forth. This is a necessary step for any video marketer.
YouTube Trueview CPC/CPM Rate. Trueview ads - TrueView in-stream video ads - is a full video advertisement in youtube usually it appears before the final video is playing.
Youtube Partner Monetize Estimated Revenue. YouTube Monetization rates - There's an extraordinary amount of ad revenue rates YouTube hype, Around the topic of making money from YouTube you should know youtube average monetization rates.
YouTube High CPM Countries. To get High CPM,RPM in YouTube you must Target your video Audience in high CPM Countries.
The Tip Jar – This is a donation-based system. If someone likes your video, they can donate to support your efforts. Include calls-to-action for best results.
Video On Demand – Video creators can lock access to premium videos. You can charge as much or as little as you want to grant access.
As with YouTube and every other platform mentioned here, you should aim to build your customer base: include calls-to-action in your videos, in the descriptions, and so on.
Instagram – Instagram isn't just for photos. You can create short videos that autoplay when they show up in users' feeds.
You can't include hyperlinks in descriptions or videos. If you want to send people off-site to buy a product or sign up for something, you'll need to be creative. Use videos that sell. They should contain benefits of the product or service, calls-to-action, domain names to visit, and so on.
These videos can be anything you want: free commercials, testimonials, product reviews, etc. Instagram videos, like YouTube, are free. You can create whatever format you wish to sell your products, promote your business, and so on.
Instagram videos are meant to be short and sweet. Many of these newer video platforms cater to short-attention-span customers. The videos must be 3 to 15 seconds long, so design with that in mind. Consider creating a series of videos if you have a longer story to tell.
Use product placement. Brands have been doing this for some time now: placing their own products inside viral Vine videos, rather than creating 6-second commercials.
Tell multi-part stories. Combine several videos together to tell stories, create longer advertisements, and so on.
Connect accounts and drive traffic. As usual, you should be connecting Vine's video service to your other social media accounts, your website, and so on.
Twitter has decided to take on YouTube with its own native video platform.
This video player will allow you to host videos up to 10 minutes long.
Amazon – Amazon is a retailer, right? Yes, which makes it the perfect place to sell on-demand videos.
The site's built-in audience is always searching for products to buy, so if you have premium quality videos that you want to charge for, you should be uploading them to Amazon.
Google Play – Google Play isn't just for apps. You can upload everything from videos to music, books, and magazines.
Like Amazon, Google Play is ideally suited for people who want to sell their videos for a profit.
But these have tiny market shares compared to the major networks listed above.
If you have additional resources, then you may consider exploring a few, but their ROI won't have the same potential as the bigger video monetization platforms.
And the other platforms that generate lots and lots of traffic tend to be highly specialized. Twitch, for instance, only caters to gamers. NicoNico, hugely popular in Japan, only caters to Japanese people.
The video will always be one of the best marketing strategies online. And despite its massive popularity, it still remains underutilized by many marketers and businesses.

10 Best Songs with Sara in the Title, Ranked 2023
If your name is Sara, this playlist of Sara songs is for you. Artists often write songs about the people in their lives, and this playlist is no different.
This list is made up of some old and some not-so-old songs by some of the world's biggest music stars and is an interesting look at how someone named Sara influenced their greatest hits.
So without further ado, here is my list of the best songs with Sara in the title!
1. Sara by Fleetwood Mac
Starting off my list is this 1979 release from Fleetwood Mac. Released on the album Tusk, "Sara" is said to be about Stevie Nicks and Don Henley's unborn child.
This, however, is unconfirmed, as Nicks herself has said that the song is just about a very good friend named Sara. Whatever the hidden meaning, this song is a classic and explores the beauty that surrounds "Sara." Give it a listen as it appears at number one on my playlist.
2. Creeping Out Sara by NoFx
NOFX released their hit song "Creeping Out Sara" in 2009 on the album Coaster. A punk rock song with a catchy tune, the song is seemingly about stalking someone named Sara after she has turned down a man at a fairground.
"Creeping Out Sara" takes a look at the darker side of stalking and is an eye-opener for many women who have experienced this after saying "no" to a man. Add "Creeping Out Sara" to your playlist, and listen to what not to do when turned down by someone you fancy.
3. Sara by Bob Dylan
Never before have I so desperately wished that my name was Sara after listening to Bob Dylan's 1976 song "Sara." The song was released on Dylan's album Desire and is about his estranged wife, Sara.
While the song has a melancholy tone, it is a sad look at the breakdown of Dylan's relationship with his wife and has that classic Bob Dylan wailing sound that fans worldwide have come to know and love.
4. Calling Sarah by Jellyfish
I will be completely honest when I say that I had not heard of Jellyfish before today. After listening to their song "Calling Sarah," I will admit that I might just be a fan for life after hearing the band sing about a girl named Sarah and how beautiful she is.
"Calling Sarah" was released in 1990 and featured on the band's album Bellybutton. It can only be described as a super cute song that deserves a spot on your playlist. Please give it a listen today as you rush out to change your name to Sarah, too.
5. Sara's Not Sober by Sidewinders
Have you ever met someone who had such a profound or meaningful impact that you were inspired to write a song about them? This is exactly what the song "Sara's Not Sober" by the Sidewinders is about.
Released in 1990 on the album Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall, the song tells the story of a man who met a woman that had an impact on his life, no matter how fleeting their encounter was. Take a listen to "Sara's Not Sober," as it appears on my list at number five.
6. Sara by Starship
Starship is a sideline project of Jefferson Starship and Great White. The release of their song "Sara" in 1985 had fans confused about who the true artist was behind the song. The song told the story of true love in a doomed relationship and was a popular hit for the group.
"Sara" has over 70 million views on the video streaming platform YouTube and is a collaboration by two of the biggest bands of the 80s. Be sure to give it a listen today.
7. Sara Swan Sleepy Head by Jewel
Did you know that Jewel released a string of children's hits? Well, neither did I, but boy, am I glad she did. "Sara Swan Sleepy Head" was released in 2011 on the album The Merry Goes 'Round and is a sweet tale about Sara, the swan.
Jewel's voice on this sweet song is nothing short of breathtaking, and it is definitely worth a listen. Add it to your playlist today, and try not to sing along to "Sara Swan Sleepy Head."
8. Zach and Sara by Ben Folds
"Zach and Sara" takes us back to the 80s as it describes the relationship of a young couple. Released in 2001 on Ben Folds' album Rockin the Suburbs, the song is a sweet take on young love and what relationships were like back in the day.
Listen and sing along to "Zach and Sara" as you dream of a relationship as sweet as the one the song describes, and be sure to add it to your playlist today.
9. Sara's Mask by CKY
A life-changing event can have a devastating impact on most people, and as the song "Sara's Mask" explains, they are never the same again. Released by hit band CKY in 1999, "Sara's Mask" featured on the album Volume I and was a big hit for the group.
The song describes how Sara masks her pain by pretending that everything is okay after her life is turned upside down by a medical diagnosis. While there is no confirmation of what this diagnosis is, the song hints at cancer and sees Sara trying to live her life as normally as possible at a party.
10. Sara Smile by Daryl Hall and John Oates
Bringing me to the end of my list of the best songs with Sara in the title is a sweet song that was released in 1975. "Sara Smile" is featured on the album Daryl Hall and John Oates and is a song about the end of a 28-year marriage to a woman named Sara.
"Sara Smile" is an ode to Sara, and sees the singer telling of her beauty and influence. Add it to your playlist today, and feel the love as you listen to "Sara Smile."

Gardaí are set to launch a major crackdown on burglaries in Dublin this week.
A new Burglary Response Unit will set up armed checkpoints on the M50 and increased surveillance in target areas.
If the scheme is a success, it could be rolled out to other regions.
This Garda clampdown comes after a wave of reports of break-ins in recent months, and will see armed officers deployed across the M50 motorway to target burglary gangs.
According to the Irish Daily Mail, a list of "prolific" burglars is being drawn up, and new automatic number plate recognition software will be rolled out to squad cars to identify offenders.
Some of the focus will be on those with outstanding bench warrants while car thefts and other criminal gangs will be also be under surveillance.
The initial focus of the taskforce will be in the Dublin East area and suburbs like Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey, but if it is a success it could be rolled out to other regions across the country.
