"The independent panel will make such recommendations as it considers appropriate."

PML-N's Maryam Nawaz appears before IHC in Avenfield reference appeal
September 1, 2020 TAUQEER RIAZ
PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and her husband, retired captain Mohammad Safdar, appeared before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday.
An IHC division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani is hearing the appeals of former premier Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam and her husband, Safdar, against their convictions in the Avenfield reference.
The bench will also take up an appeal filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the acquittal of Nawaz Sharif in the Flagship reference as well as appeals against his conviction in the Al-Azizia reference.
Maryam travelled to Islamabad from Murree and was welcomed by hundreds of party workers and supporters, who shouted slogans and showered her with rose petals, when she reached Bhara Kahu.
Several PML-N leaders also accompanied Maryam to the high court including party leaders Pervaiz Rashid and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
Speaking to the media before the hearing, Maryam said that only the All Parties Conference (APC) will reveal whether the PPP was with the PML-N or not, adding that the latter will "definitely" attend it.
"Opposition parties should work together to take action against the government," she said.
She also commented on Nawaz's health. "No one would want to stay away from the country at this age. [Nawaz's] treatment is ongoing but was delayed due to the coronavirus."
She added that she wanted her father to complete his medical treatment and not come back to Pakistan. "[But] knowing his condition, I can say with certainty he will not stay away from Pakistan."
A large number of police officials have been deployed to ensure security at the high court. According to Islamabad police, 560 officials, three DSPs and nine inspectors have been deputed.
Only lawyers and media representatives will be allowed to enter the court premises, police said, adding that officials in plainclothes will also be patrolling the streets.
References against the Sharifs
All three references — the Avenfield reference, the Flagship reference and the Al-Azizia reference — are offshoots of the Panama Papers leak case relating to 785,000 offshore companies. The PTI, Jamaat-i-Islami and Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed had brought the matter before the Supreme Court.
The apex court had disqualified Nawaz Sharif as prime minister and directed NAB to file three references against the Sharif family and one against then finance minister Ishaq Dar in the accountability court.
Accountability court judge Mohammad Bashir had on July 6, 2018 convicted Nawaz, Maryam and Capt Safdar in the Avenfield reference while they were in the United Kingdom taking care of ailing Kulsoom Nawaz, handing the former prime minister 10 years as jail time for owning assets beyond known income and one year for not cooperating with the bureau.
Maryam was given seven years for abetment after she was found "instrumental in concealment of the properties of her father" and one year for non-cooperation with the bureau.
Her husband was given one year jail time — for not cooperating with NAB, and aiding and abetting Nawaz and Maryam.
Following the conviction, the Sharif family members returned to Pakistan and were imprisoned. However, all three were released from Adiala jail in September after the IHC had suspended their respective prison sentences in the Avenfield corruption reference.
Continued protests may help Trump's re-election
WASHINGTON: Police used chemical irritants to disperse protesters from streets around the White House on Monday as President Donald Trump claimed Democrats had lost control over the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Thousands gathered in Washington this weekend to protest racism and alleged police brutality. The rallies began on Friday evening and continued till Monday morning, splitting into small groups and marching in the streets around the White House.
Mostly, the protesters remained peaceful, standing in lines, chanting slogans and taunting police. But clashes with police were reported from cities across the nation, including Washington, enabling President Trump to portray the campaign for black rights as an uprising by the radical left.
"The Radical Left Mayors & Governors of Cities where this crazy violence is taking place have lost control of their movement," he said in a tweet on Monday. Most of these mayors and governors are Democrats.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this, but the Anarchists & Agitators got carried away and don't listen anymore — even forced Slow Joe (Joe Biden) out of basement,"
The US president describes the "Black Lives Matter" movement as a law and order situation and urges Americans to vote for him if they want to protect themselves from this alleged lawlessness. Political observers say that the movement could benefit Trump if it intensified and became violent.
In Washington, police arrested five people on Saturday night for their involvement in riots at Black Lives Matter Plaza, near the White House. Police said the riots started when some protesters began setting fires, lighting fireworks and throwing projectiles at their officers. Five officers and some protesters were hurt. The clashes continued till Sunday morning.
The clashes resumed on Sunday evening when police used chemical irritants to disperse the protesters who spread across downtown Washington and continued their agitation until Monday morning.
"For most of the evening, the majority of the crowd had moved peacefully in protests," The Washington Post observed. Some protesters were also arrested on Sunday evening and Monday morning. More than 500 people have been arrested in Washington since May 30 when the anti-racism protests began.
The protests followed the death of an African American, George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis three months ago.
This week's protests followed the death of another African American man, Jacob Blake, during a police action in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 23. The demonstrations intensified and spread across America when a white teenager shot dead two Black Lives Matter protesters in Antioch, Illinois, on Aug 25.
In Portland, Washington, protests have continued for nearly one hundred nights to demand changes to law enforcement and an end to systemic racism and injustice.

Saudi king sacks two royals under defence corruption probe
Saudi Arabia's King Salman sacked two royals and referred them along with four military officers for investigation into corruption at the defence ministry in a royal decree issued early on Tuesday and carried by state media.
The decree said Prince Fahd bin Turki bin Abdulaziz Al Saud would be removed as commander of joint forces in the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, and his son Prince Abdulaziz bin Fahd relieved of his post as deputy governor of al-Jouf region.
It said the decision was based on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's missive to the anti-corruption committee to investigate "suspicious financial transactions at the defence ministry".
After becoming heir to the throne in 2017 in a palace coup that ousted his predecessor, Prince Mohammed launched an anti-corruption campaign that saw scores of royals, ministers and businessmen detained at Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton hotel. Most were released after reaching undisclosed settlements with the state.
The young prince has made fighting corruption a pillar of his reforms. Critics saw the purge as a power grab by the crown prince, who has moved to sideline any rivals to his eventual succession to the throne, take control of the country's security apparatus and crack down on dissent.
Authorities wound down the Ritz campaign after 15 months but said the government would continue to go after graft by state employees. In March, authorities arrested nearly 300 government officials, including military and security officers, on charges involving bribery and exploiting public office.
Before becoming commander of joint forces in the coalition, Prince Fahd was commander of the Royal Saudi Ground Forces, paratroopers units and special forces, according to Saudi daily Arab News. His father was a former deputy minister of defence.
The decree said the crown prince designated Lieutenant Gen Mutlaq bin Salem bin Mutlaq Al-Azima to replace Prince Fahd.
The coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement that ousted the Saudi-backed government from power in Sanaa. The conflict, seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has been in military stalemate for years.

Three days after rains, Karachi business struggles to recover
KARACHI: Traders in the old city areas — dealing with the bulk of country's wholesale trade — on Monday continued to struggle with stagnant rainwater and assessing inventory losses while industrialists in different areas gave a mixed picture of production activities and export activities on the first day of the week.
Korangi Association of Trade and Industry President Sheikh Umer Rehan said some 30 per cent of the 4,500 units in the area faced severe hardship as rain water inundated the factories and go downs, causing huge inventory losses of finished goods and raw materials.
He said that most of the staff was unable to arrive at factories due to flooded roads which brought down production by almost 30-40pc.
A sizable number of labor in the area usually arrives from the EBM causeway and Korangi Crossing, which were opened on Monday evening after continuous rains last week. Hopefully, labor turnover would improve from Tuesday onwards, he added.
Traders and industrialists to release loss estimates in next few days
"Industrial units are draining out accumulated rain water with their own efforts," he said adding that the "affected units would share details on inventory losses in a day or two."
F.B. Area Association of Trade and Industry (FBATI) President Abdullah Abid said only 15-18pc of the small and medium sized units out of the total 2,200 in the area were facing issues because of rain water.
He said the situation in FBATI was better because the association had already procured six water draining pumps to clear rain water from the area.
Site Association of Industries President Suleman Chawla said production activities in the area remained normal but added that laborers were facing problems in reaching factories their units owing to the bad road conditions in Site area.
Meanwhile, Bin Qasim Association of Trade and Industry Secretary General Abdul Rahman Ismail said production remained normal in 350-400 large to medium-sized units despite power breakdown issues at some units. He said that so far, he had not received any complaints regarding stagnating rain water from industrialists in the area.
North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry President Naseem Akhtar claimed "all the units resumed full production activities on Monday."
"Luckily, rain and sewerage water did not enter any factory despite incessant rains," he claimed adding that export shipments from the area also resumed on Monday.
All City Tajir Itehad General Secretary Ahmed Shamsi said traders in the old city areas like medicine market, Densohall, electric market, Khori Garden, Marriot road, cloth market, plastic market etc were working to clear rain and sewerage water from their shops and godowns on their own.
"Traders are analysing inventory losses at shops and go downs and may come out with a report in a day or two," he added.
Moreover, Karachi Wholesale Grocers Association Chairman Anis Majeed said around 350 of the 700 shops in Dandia Bazar — hub of essential food items — were still inundated with 1-1.5 feet of rain and sewerage water on Monday. The water had damaged various commodities, he added.
All Pakistan Restaurant Association Convener Athar Chawla requested Sindh government, Defence Housing Authority, Cantonment Board Clifton and concerned departments to clear out rainwater to save the restaurant industry from further devastation.
Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry President Mian Anjum Nisar said heavy rains have inundated the entire city and severely damaged the roads and exposed the already-weak infrastructure. The city, that contributes more than 60pc of the revenue to the national kitty has been left at the mercy of nature and relief measures are highly inadequate, he complained.
Plea seeking referendum on presidential form of govt reaches SC
ISLAMABAD: A civil engineer has moved a petition in the Supreme Court seeking an immediate referendum on a question whether the people of Pakistan want a presidential form of government against what he described as a duplicitious parliamentary system.
Through the petition, Dr Sadiq Ali, who has done PhD in turbine design from Ulster University, UK, pleaded the top court that the case whenever be taken up be telecast live on national TV channels and electronic media for the benefit of public at large. This, the petitioner, said would help avoid misunderstanding or distortion of facts in the translation by the media.
A similar petition was earlier filed by Hum Awam Pakistan Party chairman Tahir Aziz Khan by invoking Article 184(3) of the Constitution that deals with the Supreme Court's authority to enforce fundamental rights of the people.
The new petition also seeks direction from the top court for Prime Minister Imran Khan and other relevant parties to hold referendum under Article 48(6) of the Constitution on the issue whether the people of Pakistan, for their welfare and wellbeing, want the presidential form of government or not.ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
Almost similar arguments have been adopted by Dr Sadiq Ali in the his petition to highlight the failure of the parliamentary form of government in the country and how it was imperative to cut costs and unify command of public governance.
The petitioner has cited high population, high public debt, failure of successive governments to plan meaningful jobs to the burgeoning youth comparing the average Human Development Index (HDI) of Pakistan with other countries of the region: India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan.
"The governments have also failed to create a unified industrial policy or industrial base in addition to failure to address the chronic negative balance of trade thus pushing Pakistan and its people to clutches of foreign-based warlocks and syndicates," the petition claimed.
The governments have also failed to stop the brain drain or to attract foreign investment which could actually enhance GDP and create jobs.
The petition regretted that members of parliament were in the habit of changing loyalties and cut deals under the table to blackmail the governments only to promote their own personal interests.
"Thus a healthy opposition and a strong government are not there to take care of the welfare and wellbeing of the people."
The petition also highlighted little legislation work done in assemblies claiming that meetings of legislatures often failed due to lack of quorum and the monitoring role of the opposition was often compromised.

Five things to do this weekend in Milwaukee
by Marcus Doucette
Old World Third Street "Cupid's Shuffle"
Let's face it, Valentine's Day sucks. It's not even a real holiday, it's just another way to sucker you into spending money. And if you're single, it's really just around to make you feel unlucky, insufficient or unloved. Even if you're in a LTR, it's probably just more pressure for you to conform to a cultural ideal you were never even consulted on. For a day all about being "romantic," it's too easy to find yourself in a situation that is the exact opposite.
You're probably agreeing with me right now but you're also probably still like, gonna do something today—either in spite of it or for it. The "come as you are" event for the day is on Old World Third Street tonight in Downtown Milwaukee as the area bars have joined forces for the Cupid Shuffle, offering color coded wristbands (red if you're taken, green if you're single and ready to mingle and yellow if you're just getting drunk) with color coded drink specials. Bars will also have DJs and who knows, you could get lucky…
Saturday at 8 p.m. @ 1100 block of Old World 3rd Street
The Cupid Shuffle, All Messed Up and shows from Wavy V, Joe Pug, Amanda Huff and more
Life is for the living, things are for the doing…So here are five things to do this weekend in Milwaukee.
Wavy V Record Release
Local band Wavy V (way-vee-vee) is a six-piece chamber pop band we've recently started playing on 88Nine continues their run of form with the release of their new record this weekend at Anodyne Coffee in Walker's Point. Their sound is intricate, sepia-toned psychedelia wrapped around sweet vocal harmonies. They're good, and who knows what heights they'll hit. They're the highlight of what looks like a good local music show this Friday and Warhola Cats, who make lovely lyrical baroque pop and Soda Road open.
Friday at 8 p.m. @ Anodyne Coffee Roasters
WAVY V – A by WAVY V
Joe Pug
A singer-songwriter whose songs offer an updated version of the country-folk archetypes made famous by Bob Dylan and John Prine, Joe Pug's rise has been as improbable as it has been impressive. For the moment, he has it figured out: Just write the songs that have to be written, play them for anybody who will listen, tour as if you had no home. Don't miss his return to The Back Room this February!
Friday at 8 p.m. @ The Back Room
All Messed Up 9 – Two Night Showcase At Linneman's
As far as themed musical events go, the annual All Messed Up event at Linneman's in Riverwest is a good one. AMU randomly places musicians into bands and gives them two months to create original music to play at the event. This year's event adds a degree of difficulty (and thematic unity) by asking these impromptu outfits to play a song in a 3/4 time signature while sharing the same equipment. What's that gonna sound like? Who knows—that's why you might ought to go.
Friday & Saturday at 8 p.m. @ Linneman's
Amanda Huff + Saebra & Carlyle + King Courteen
With so many great local bands gigging this weekend you really can't go wrong and Anodyne Coffee seems to be the point to position your plans. If Friday isn't your day to do it, Saturday might be just as dope. Amanda Huff and Saebra & Carlyle aren't strangers to 88Nine's airwaves and they shouldn't be for you as well. They're sharing a bill with another cat who's got a cool sound, King Courteen, this Saturday at Anodyne's HQ in Walker's Point.
Saturday at 8 p.m. @ Anodyne Coffee Roasters
Hemiptera by Amanda Huff


If you're claustrophobic, don't read on. I'll be the first to admit that the very thought of being trapped with 32 other men in a tiny 600 square foot chamber a half a mile underground . . . in pitch darkness inside the bowels of a collapsed mine . . . for seventeen days and nights . . . without any con- tact with the outside (above) world . . . is the stuff of nightmares! And yet when that small rescue drill bit bore 2200 feet down through the Chilean rock to where the 33 miners were trapped and opened up a six inch wide shaft to the men, the ecstatic cries of loved ones above and below ground could be heard around the world!
Piece by piece the trapped miners' story has emerged up that life-giving shaft. When the gold and silver mine tunnel wall collapsed above them on august 5, the 33 miners scrambled to a rescue chamber carved long ago into the mine shaft. There under the leadership of 54 year old shift foreman, Luis Urzua, the men organized themselves around the desperate hope that rescue would one day come. Available food was quickly rationed: two spoonfuls of tuna, a bite of crackers, a morsel of peaches and a sip of milk for each miner—every other day (thus stretching their two-day emergency supply to 17 days)! usage of their helmet lamps, their only source of portable light, was conserved. A nearby backhoe enabled them to break through to a small water reservoir. And they waited. Seventeen long days and nights (continuous nights, really) until they were found. Oxygen is now being pumped into the mine, an intercom system has been established, letters and love notes have been exchanged with family members—but the miners have not yet been told that a rescue shaft wide enough to hoist them the half mile to the surface may take until Christmas to drill. NASA experts are offering advice as to how to preserve emotional and mental health in such cramped quarters for so long a wait (as in the International Space Station).
Thirty-three trapped survivors, whose hopes are pinned on a rescue from above—sounds like a reprise of the human story, doesn't it? Trapped down the mine shaft of this planet, an entire race of survivors waiting out earth's long dark night for deliverance. And yet, truth be known, most of the entrapped are either only vaguely aware of being trapped at all or have long ago given up any hope of any rescue at all.
It is for them—and for all of us, really—that on September 1 this campus begins a very special 40 days of Prayer rescue initiative. Our tools are simple: a Bible, a printed forty-day collection of Scripture promises, and a prayer card with the names of five lost (entrapped) people that we know. the only oth- er necessity is yours and my commitment every day for forty days to join with a prayer partner in reading a page from the 40 Days: Prayers and Devotions to Prepare for the Second Coming collection of promises and interceding before god on behalf of five people (each of us knows) who need Jesus. Every day. For forty days. Beginning September 1. And when the forty days are over, revival preacher Lee Venden will begin a nine evening revival series here at Pioneer for the campus and community. Forty days of prayer, nine nights of preaching— we believe the Spirit can transform it and us into a mighty rescue effort for Christ. And given the times, can you think of a more critical time for us to join heaven in attempting the rescue of those who are trapped in the dark? What if nobody had gone looking for the 33 Chilean miners?

SigEp Fraternity receives 3-year suspension as UTA ends investigations
SigEp at UT Arlington has received a 3-year suspension. Anything I add would be snarky so I'll just hope an appeal is successful.
Fraternity receives 3-year suspension as UTA ends investigations - The Shorthorn : Campus:
One fraternity is suspended from UTA for three years, three others are on probation until the end of May and another is no longer on interim suspension following investigations into reports of misconduct, according to a UTA spokeswoman.
The fraternities – Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega – were placed on interim suspensions in September related to activities on fraternity Bid Day on Sept. 7, according to university officials.
The five fraternities were notified the investigations were concluded, university spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said in an email Oct. 25.
Following the investigations, Sigma Phi Epsilon has been suspended from the university for three years and may not participate in chapter activities, Sullivan said in the email.
"The organization may petition in January 2017 to establish an active chapter at UT Arlington as of June 1, 2017," the email stated.
Three other fraternities, Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi, are on probation through May 31, 2014.
During probation, the fraternities are prohibited from hosting social events or participating in fraternity events where alcohol is present.
The fraternities can appeal and request a formal hearing, Sullivan said in the email.
Pi Kappa Phi is no longer on interim suspension, according to the email. However, the university found that the chapter offered early bids and referred it to the Interfraternity Council, according to the email.
The investigations began sometime after Bid Day in September, Sullivan previously said.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Pi Kappa Phi were first issued interim suspensions "related to unregistered parties and possible use of alcohol by individuals under the age of 21," according to the university.
Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega were investigated in connection with underage alcohol use.
Additionally, Alpha Tau Omega was investigated in connection with "possible use of illegal drugs," according to a previous university statement.
Sigma Phi Epsilon president Christofer Slocum did not immediately return calls from The Shorthorn. In a text message, he said the fraternity plans to challenge the sanctions "by proceeding to a trial."
In a previous article, Slocum denied the fraternity hosted an unregistered party Sept . 7. Instead, he said some fraternity members attended a party at the home of an alumnus who was celebrating a new job.
"I have no control over what a graduate of UTA does at his residence," Slocum said at the time.
Sigma Chi president Aaron Hobbs said his fraternity thinks the sanctions are heavier than what it expected and will likely appeal.
The Shorthorn is attempting to reach Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi presidents for comment.

Q: Generate gif from a Three.Js scene server-side I have currently a client-side Javascript code that generates a Gif file from a Three.js scene on the client.
I would like to do exactly the same but on the server-side.
I'm a bit confused about the way to go.
Can I render a scene outside of the browser to generate the Gif?
Should I use node.js implementation of Three.Js? I'm working in a Python environment on the server-side, if possible I'd rather work with something in Python..
Thanks.

I fixed that in trunk but it would be nice to see if your perl catches more of these.
argh, my bad. sorry for this remnant. it seems that i did not forget others.
While removing that line should help, could please tell us the version of File::Spec on your system?


I received the dual M.S./B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, in 2009 and 2015, respectively. My past internships and research visits include MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA, USA; Cisco Systems, Inc., Boxborough, MA, USA; and the University of Oulu, Finland. In 2016, I joined MIT Lincoln Laboratory where I am currently a Member of Technical Staff developing advanced systems and technology to enable the next generation of airborne and mobile tactical communications networks.
My experiences have covered a variety of practical and theoretical topics in communications, networking, and software. Research interests and work of mine includes i) performance analysis of wireless networks with directional antennas in the presence of antenna configuration error using stochastic geometry, ii) design/deployment of graph-based wireless networks for scheduling algorithm optimality guarantees using random graph theory, and iii) structural properties of, and algorithmic solutions to, cellular user association problems posed as network utility optimization programs.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing , hiking , and brewing .


Cattle gather around Dottie Love when they think she's going for some range cubes in the back of her pickup at Fancher Love Ranch in Ennis. Her herd, mostly Miniature Zebu, are pretty tame, and she treats them like pets.

As someone who has built a career in SEO, specifically content, saying I'm no longer talking about it might seem strange. In reality, I'll never stop talking about content, I love it, it's what I do and it's why I've built a content team so that I can KEEP talking about it.
Content is the cornerstone of what we do, whether it's web copy, blogs, content marketing pieces, editorials, social posts or emails, in my mind it's an area where you just can't afford to drop the ball. So, by saying I'm no longer talking about content what I really mean by that clickbait title is – why are we still talking about it like it's an add-on?
I've been writing content for businesses for over ten years and in that time I've seen it all, from the keyword stuffed articles that we spun so much they were nonsensical, to considering 100 product descriptions to be unique just because you have changed a keyword. Today, the content landscape is much different, the internet relies and thrives on great content that writers, brands and business owners create to showcase their product or service.
As the head of a content team, my ethos has always been the same, if you hire great writers the results will come naturally. Once a writer starts to think about the SEO elements of a piece of content BEFORE they start writing it, you lose the very thing that Google loves the most – engaging, unique content that offers real value to the reader.
That's not to say that we forget about SEO completely; keywords, internal links and formatting are all part and parcel of what we do, at the end of the day we all want those lovely page one rankings, don't we?
Writing great content comes from expertise, passion and a genuine need to connect with the reader. Whether it's writing about drainage systems or haute couture, your aim is to connect with the reader and convince them that you don't just want to sell them your product, you want to tell them why.
At Acquiro, our team know that what works for one website, may not work for another. Through research, we determine what does work best for your business. A great example of this is the length of content we put on a page. Yes, you could stretch a piece of content about a hammer into an essay, but what are you gaining from it? A short, succinct description that tells the reader everything they need to know whilst also naturally including keywords and relevant links to other products or categories could work even better.
On the flip-side, if we see that a page has the potential for expansion, perhaps it's a page looking at a new tool brand or clothing range, we can look to incorporate relevant queries, explain more about the pros and cons or even ask the experts for their tips for using it. No one page is built the same and once you start looking at your content this way, you will soon start to realise that templated tasks are fast becoming redundant.
It's all well and good telling you that tailoring your content to suit the page is important, but we know you want to see the results! Our case study focuses on a client that sells baby clothing, we wanted to quickly increase the visibility and traffic to the brand and category pages. The main USP of this website is that their clothing is organic and sustainable, so we focused on creating informative resources on the website that explains their values and why you should choose eco-friendly baby clothing.
For the brand and category pages, we wanted to create descriptions that were straight to the point. This website was for new parents buying clothes for their child, they've already done the research into the brand so all they need to know is what clothes are in each section and what they offer. Each individual product has its own detailed description, so all we needed to do was highlight the collection.
We focused on creating short, keyword focused descriptions (around 100 words) for the categories and brands which led to organic sessions up 848% (3 month YOY data) and organic revenue increased by over 1000% over the same period. The content is short enough not to detract from the products on the page, however, it also contains enough focused content so that search engines AND the user get the information that they need.
If you're looking to create content for your website but you don't know where to start, here are our expert tips to creating content that matters.
As a business owner, eCommerce manager or assistant, chances are you know more about the product than most people, utilise this knowledge and give your readers what they actually NEED to know.
If you find yourself trying to 'fluff' out your content with jargon or redundant phrases, you've missed the mark. The average web user will switch off the moment they realise that what they're reading has no purpose.
Think about the user experience!
User experience (UX) and content writing go hand in hand, it all boils down to whether something is right for that specific place on the website (we have a great blog on UX coming soon, check back for our overview!) Look at where your content will sit on the page, is it pushing down the actual products, does it detract from the main purpose of the page? If it's taking away from your primary aim, you need to rethink.
One of my favourite parts of content writing is seeing what works and what doesn't. Experiment with your words and see what works best for your readers on your website. If you've put together a blog that doesn't get any traction, try reviewing the formatting or adding imagery or videos to spice it up.
Look at your current website and see if you have any opportunities to revamp existing content. So many websites fall short when it comes to keeping their content updated and you may find some quick fixes just by reviewing your current content 'stock'.
Writing great content for your website doesn't have to be an arduous task. It should be part of your daily routine to connect, engage and entice your users to choose your business above the rest. We always encourage our clients to share as much of their knowledge and experience with us when we're creating our work, yes we are fantastic at what we do – but when it comes to your business, we always like to ask the experts!

The discovery of more than 300 weapon parts at a scrap metal dealership in Madampe has raised suspicions of a growing trade in firearms smuggled out from former war zones.
The haul includes reusable parts of T56, T81 and 84S assault rifles, light machine guns and revolvers. Also detected were parts of largely obsolete self-loading rifles (SLRs) and G3s.
On April 9, Madampe police raided the premises of J.H. Metal in Suduwella on a tip-off. An officer involved in the search said the weapon parts were found in empty fertiliser bags in contrast to other scrap metal, which were heaped openly on the ground. J.H. Asoka Chandana, proprietor of the scrap metal business establishment, was arrested and produced before Chilaw's Acting Magistrate Nissanka Rupasinghe. The Madampe police filed a B report to court saying he was detained for being in possession of parts of firearms.
Mr. Chandana was not produced in open court and was granted personal bail of Rs. 100,000 amidst police objections. He is required to mark his presence with the police twice a month. The firearm parts are in court custody. Police are conducting investigations and are yet to file a plaint.
Of Mr. Chandana's three lawyers, two are members of the ruling UPFA: Hillary Prasanna Fernando is the chairman of the UPFA-controlled Chilaw Urban Council. Samantha Fernando is a former UPFA member of the Wennapuwa Pradeshiya Sabha. He lost his seat at the 2011 local government election.
Making money with scrap: Businessman Chandana with his wife.
While UC Chairman Fernando did not deny that he appeared for Mr. Chandana, he maintained he had no "personal knowledge" of the case. He said only parts of weapons had been found at the business establishment of his client and that he would not comment further as the matter was before court.
The Firearms Ordinance makes it illegal for any person to possess "any part of a gun" unless he is a licensed dealer, manufacturer or repairer for the purpose of his lawful business, or a person who requires such part for any gun he is licensed to possess. Mr. Chandana did not fit into any of these categories.
Interviewed at his residence on Wednesday, Mr. Chandana denied that he had stored away the firearm components in bags. He claimed that they had been "lying around here and there" when the police raided his property. He said the weapon parts had come in with other scrap metal transported every day from the North to various dealerships, including his own.
Mr. Chandana also said, alternately, that he didn't always check the contents of the loads he received; that he hadn't known what these parts were; that only when the police came had he known it was illegal to keep them; and that he had kept the parts only because they were too long to transport.
But during a brief tour of his collection centre, Mr. Chandana pointed to a man who was slicing through the larger sections of metal using a gas cutting machine. "We cut them before transporting them," he explained. He later said he would have shortened the firearm parts in a similar fashion– except that it was Avurudu and he didn't have the staff to do it.
The air around Mr. Chandana's house smells acridly of rust and dirt. Workers are unloading and sorting through a fresh pile of junk that has arrived at J.H. Metal for the first time since the National New Year. The scraps are carefully separated according to the composition of the metal.
There are 26 other scrap metal businessmen in this village. They compete intensely for material, mainly from the North and the East where the conflict has spawned a lasting supply of twisted, corroding metal.
J.H Metal is located just outside the walls of Bhuwalka Steel Industries Sri Lanka Ltd., an Indian firm that buys scrap from local middlemen and melts it down to produce construction rods. It suspended business with Mr. Chandana some years ago over "issues of trust", a company source said, confidentially.
Mr. Chandana now supplies a company in Ja Ela with scrap metal. He owns five ten-wheel lorries in which the stocks are transported. He is one of the largest wholesale dealers of scrap metal in Madampe.
Nailed onto the fa�ade of Mr. Chandana's single-storey abode is an altar with a white Buddha statue. A faded 'Mona Lisa' gazes enigmatically down from her spot above the front door. A sarong has been spread out to dry on an armchair on the untidy verandah. There are empty beer bottles in crates, remnants of a New Year party.
When the Sunday Times arrived at his residence, Mr. Chandana was away worshipping at two Hindu temples in town. It was his wife that telephoned him to say someone from the papers had come.
"I got really scared when I was arrested," he confessed. "I thought I wouldn't get to spend Avurudu at home." As his luck would have it, that didn't come to pass.
The main suspect, J.H. Asoka Chandana, said the firearms came with scrap metal from the North. He did not coherently explain how he managed to collect such a large number of parts.
His interview with the Sunday Times was replete with inconsistencies but he did make one valid observation — vehicles transporting scrap metal from the North are unloaded and checked by security forces at the Omanthai checkpoint on the Jaffna-Kandy A9 road.
The Sunday Times confirmed with a senior army official on the ground that many categories of goods brought from the North to the rest of the country are no longer fully unloaded and examined. However, he said, consignments of scrap metal are still checked as thoroughly as possible.
It is unclear, therefore, how usable components of firearms made their way from the North to Madampe. Under normal circumstances, security forces and police take custody of firearms unearthed or otherwise discovered in former conflict areas.
A police officer in Madampe confirmed that all the weapons had serial numbers. He also said that the police had cleaned them with diesel to gauge their quality and to decipher these numerals. The serial numbers will be checked against records in an effort to determine where the weapons had come from.
The police officer said the weapon parts were "second hand quality" and that many of the components could be used. They were not greased, indicating that they had not been used for some time. He suspected that they might have been accumulated for sale to the underworld.
A Colombo-based ballistics expert who saw photographs of the illicit haul said that some of the T56 weapons found had "only the firing pin missing". He said a "kamhal karaya" would be able to put together a weapon in no time, should these parts fall into his hands.

NBA insider Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson suggests LeBron James could try to hook up with Celtics forward Jaylon Brown.
LeBron James has at least one more season with the Lakers. He is currently eligible for a contract extension with LA, but his future with the Lakers is very much up in the air.
It's hard to believe James would move away from the Lakers and a city he seems very happy to live in. However,
LeBron has never been afraid to move on to another franchise if he believes his current situation won't lead to a title shot.
He is also one of the forerunners who joined other All-Stars to boost their title chances. On Monday,
NBA insider Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson noted LeBron's admiration for Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jaylen Brown. Now Brown is under contract through the 2023-2024 season,
and after showing off in the NBA Finals (23.5 PPG), Boston would likely want to extend the 25-year-old to a longer term.
However, given the structure of his current contract, Brown could reportedly make $35 million per year via an extension,

Q: c concatenate variable length int to a string without printing it I need to concatenate an integer to a system call string:
status = system("./run test.txt " + integer);
integer here can be any int.
What is the best way of doing this?

A: Use snprintf (or sprintf if you don't have snprintf or need your code to run on systems without it) to print to a char buffer, and pass that to the system call.
e.g.
#define MAX_LEN 128
char buffer[MAX_LEN];
int val = 0;
snprintf(buffer, MAX_LEN, "./run test.txt %d", val);

// you would be wise to check that snprintf has not truncated your command
// before passing it to system()
status = system(buffer);

Alternatively, you could calculate how many characters the integer needs and then allocate an exactly correctly sized buffer. This would allow you to use sprintf safely and removes the need to check for truncation - chux's answer demonstrates this. Note that this may not be a good strategy if you cannot use VLAs (C89) and have reasons to avoid malloc(), e.g. on some embedded systems.

A: After accept answer
Use a right-sized buffer via VLA or malloc().  Estimating a fixed buffer size may overflow the buffer with sprintf() or create a truncated result with snprintf().
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int system_command_int(const char *command, int i) {
  #define INT_PRINT_SIZE(i) ((sizeof(i) * CHAR_BIT)/3 + 3)
  char buf[strlen(command) + 1 + INT_PRINT_SIZE(i) + 1];

  sprintf(buf, "%s %d",command, i);
  return system(buf);
}

int status = system_command_int("./run test.txt", integer);

The INT_PRINT_SIZE(i) macro returns the char size needed to accommodate decimal representation of integer type i.  With some integer types, the result may be 1 or 2 extra, but is never too small.  Alternatively, code could use 10*sizeof(type)*CHAR_BIT/33 + 3 which has less extra overhead.  The idea is to multiple the bit width by some integer a/b fraction that is near and >= log10(2) or ~0.30103.  This size does include the char need for the trailing '\0'.  So the above char buf[] does not need the trailing + 1.

A: Using sprintf:
char buffer[256];
sprintf(buffer,"./run test.txt %d",integer);
status = system(buffer);

A: see man sprintf
char buf[150];

sprintf(buf, "./run test.txt %d", integer);
status = system(buf);

Make sure buf isn't too small.

A: #define COMMAND_SIZE 100

char command[COMMAND_SIZE];
sprintf(command, "./run test.txt %d", integer);
status = system(command);

Turlock native speaks at Berkeley graduation
Turlock Christian High alumna Bianca Davoodian speaks at the Dec. 16 UC Berkeley commencement ceremony. - photo by Photo Contributed
Nancy Angel
Updated: Dec. 31, 2012, 1:36 p.m.
While a sense of pride and accomplishment were felt throughout the assembly of graduates at UC Berkeley, the bonds of the Davoodian family were particularly meaningful during the Dec. 16 commencement ceremony. Bianca Davoodian, an alumna of Turlock Christian High, was honored by her peers and professors as the commencement student speaker.
Over 4,500 had the opportunity to hear Davoodian's words of inspiration, the thanks she offered to her family, especially her brother Andrew Davoodian, and the influence he made in her life.
"I would jump if he jumped, cry if he cried, and do whatever he liked to do," said Bianca during her speech. "From collecting football cards to playing basketball and video games, I was like his shadow. I even managed to follow his way into UC Berkeley."
To say that Bianca Davoodian is impressive might be putting it a bit lightly. She graduated with honors in Psychology and was recently accepted to work in a social psychology lab at Harvard University under Dr. Ellen Langer, a top researcher in the work of mindfulness.
"I truly feel blessed, it's kind of surreal," said Davoodian. "Being a first generation college student I have come to learn and have a strong belief that higher education is so important in the lives of young people. None of this could be attainable without a strong support system. I have my family to thank for that. I would not be here today if it wasn't for their encouragement and constant support. They are my pillars."
Bianca will continue her education with the hopes of obtaining a doctorate in social psychology.
"I want to do it all," she said. "I want to do research, teach on a university level and also open my own practice someday. I'll follow my education wherever it leads me, but close enough to where my family is."
For now, Bianca is looking forward to the next chapter of her life. She hopes to inspire others in pursuing their education.
"I hope that I can inspire young people of Turlock to live their dreams and empower them to believe in themselves," she said. "I hope to continue forward with my education so I can have a bigger voice of influence and inspiration to the youngsters in the future."

Wills & Probate | When Should You Make an LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney)?
Firstly, what is Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)? It's a document that allows you to appoint someone to manage your affairs in the event that you lose mental capacity.
If you're thinking dementia you're only halfway there. If you're young, or youngish, you probably fit into the bracket of so many people who are thinking that you are too young to make one. Now, think accident, serious illness such as cancer, and coma. Do you now still think you're too young to make one?
Before we look at what happens if you don't have an LPA, let's be clear about what an LPA is not.
An LPA is not a Will. In fact, it has nothing to do with a Will but it is not uncommon to confuse it with a Will.
Wills deal with matters when we die, LPAs deal with matters whilst we are still alive. In that respect, one could argue they are even more important than Wills.
What happens if there is no LPA?
Bottom line, should you lose the capacity for any of the reasons above and there is no LPA in place either for your property and finances or for your health and welfare, then your loved ones or those you trust will not be able to make any decisions for you.
There is a common belief that if you own property jointly, such as a simple bank account, then that solves the problem. Sadly it does not. If you have a joint bank account with your spouse or partner and you lose mental capacity, it is common practice for high street banks to freeze withdrawals from that account. That means if you need medical or financial assistance, not only will you not be able to access your funds, quite probably, neither will your spouse or partner, rendering the incapacitated person's assets, quite simply, in limbo.
Once a person has lost capacity it is too late to make an LPA. In order to make decisions for that person, you would then need to make an application to the Court of Protection. In the meantime, the Court could appoint a professional, such as a solicitor and very likely a stranger. Just think about that for a moment. A stranger making decisions for you that they believe are in your best interests.
What is the Court of Protection?
It is a specialist Court that looks after the interests of anyone lacking mental capacity. It is within the Court's authority to make decisions in relation to a person's finances, property and welfare and the court could appoint a person, known as a Deputy, to make decisions in the best interests of the person that has lost capacity.
What is involved in making an application to be a Deputy?
The process can be pretty distressing and intrusive, not to mention costly and time-consuming. You really ought to take legal advice before making such an application. This, unfortunately, increases costs which are added to the costs of the application and then the further ongoing fees throughout the Deputyship. The Court will want to supervise the Deputy, and will naturally charge fees for doing so.
The Deputy also has to take out a 'security bond' to cover their actions as Deputy, and this is an annual fee. In the meantime, the affairs of the individual needing assistance are frozen.
As you would expect the court will require evidence to prove the individual does not have mental capacity, and some healthcare professionals will charge for providing that.
Once appointed, the Deputy will receive a Deputy order which sets out the specific powers and limits depending on the individual's needs, and they cannot be exceeded.
If that isn't enough, on top of their day job the Deputy has ongoing responsibilities including filing an annual account and accounting to the Court for every financial transaction in the previous year.
How do you avoid the nightmare described above? Make an LPA for both property and finance and health and welfare.
And to answer the question 'When?' - NOW is a good time!

Ampleon: A New RF Power Semi Company is Born Following NXP-Freescale Merger
Spencer Chin
Ampleon has formed its global business operations following the successful acquisition of the RF Power business line by Jianguang Asset Management Co. Ltd from NXP Semiconductors. The formation of Ampleon followed the completion of the merger between NXP and Freescale Semiconductor Ltd., in an $11.8 billion deal.
NXP originally announced in May it would sell its RF power business line to Chinese company Jianguang Asset Management for $1.8 billion, in a move to avoid competition issues. The closing of the sale was seen as a crucial step in order to meet regulatory approval for the NXP-Freescale merger. As a result of the deal, Ampleon will have access to NXP's full RF Power business, including sales and support of the complete line-up of LDMOS and GaN RF power products.
Reinier Beltman, a former NXP executive who will be CEO of Ampleon, says in a statement, "With a unique focus on RF power technology and innovation we are extremely well positioned to meet the growing market need for power, cost and space efficient RF solutions. RF energy applications will see us establishing new partnerships and introduce new products as we embrace these exciting developments across the value chain."
Ampleon will seek to leverage the growing opportunities of data and energy transfer in RF by increasing its commitment to R&D and growing its engineering resources. The company will have more than 1,250 employees worldwide.

- Sunrise Express consists of two trains, Sunrise Izumo and Sunrise Seto. They're combined on their way from Tokyo to Okayama, then split up and travel to two different places.
- Unlike most modern trains, Sunrise Express has not one or two, but six types of accommodations!
- Let's say you don't want to spend a fortune on your privacy, or you're going to travel with a companion. In this case, you can opt for class B which offers passengers different kinds of accommodations.
- Sunrise Express has everything you may need to have a comfortable trip. There are enough toilets to take an early morning bathroom trip without getting stuck in a restroom line.
- There's one important thing you should remember unless you're traveling in a first class Single Deluxe compartment. If you want to take a shower, you need to buy a special card.
- Shinkansen's operating speed can reach 200 miles per hour! But according to test runs in 2003, Shinkansen can increase its speed up to 361 miles per hour!
- The train has been running for almost 55 years and has already carried more than 10 billion passengers.
- All Japanese high-speed trains have an automatic emergency brake system that comes into action in case of an earthquake.
- The world's busiest train station is Shinjuku which has more than 3.6 million visitors.
- The longest train that runs upside down is also in Japan. To see this wonder, you need to travel an hour outside of Tokyo, where you'll find yourself in a beachy prefecture called Chiba.
- There is so much train fandom in the country that train lovers separate into numerous groups, from those whose hobby is to walk around train stations to those who can't live without train lunch boxes.

Companies' secure data 'at risk from vengeful employees'
Guest Blog: Whose data is it anyway?
British heatwave 'making people have affairs': research
- Jason Stamper
Already-married dating site says the stats are conclusive
You may not approve of a website that prides itself on helping married people and others already in a relationship to have an illicit encounter with someone else, but that's beside the point. The point is that IllicitEncounters.com says the number of members logging onto the site in the last ten, hot days has trebled compared to the norm.
IllicitEncounters.com doesn't actively encourage people to have an affair. That would be wrong, right? Instead, it says its members, "Are all looking for a little romance outside their current relationship. Whether that's the occasional bit of flirtatious chat, a regular coffee date, or a full-blown affair, that's up to them." So it's all fine, really. Just a bit of harmless fun, I'm sure.
Anyway record numbers of people are visiting the site looking for a little extra-marital 'romance'. Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones said, "When it's hot outside you are more likely to feel frisky, the science behind this phenomenon is, as your body is exposed to sunlight, it produces more serotonin and melanocyte stimulating hormone known as MSH, which is linked to an increased sex drive in women, and serotonin just makes you feel happy."
When questioned female members said they were most likely to look for a extra-marital lover in the summer months as they felt more attractive, tanned and could wear more seductive clothing, men also preferred going out in the summer months and feel less inhibited and more relaxed when outside in the sunshine and the heat, according to the firm.
Statistics released by Illicit Encounters have shown that 72% of men and 68% of women feel more confident about showing off their bodies during the summer, especially after they have developed a bit of a tan. Men revealed they are more likely to be in shape during the summer months due to participating in sports or just being generally more physical during the week, women revealed that they were more likely to wear sexy underwear and shave their legs during the hotter months.
As if that isn't proof enough, the biggest increases in the number of "risqué rendezvous", as the site puts it, were reported in the South West and East of England where temperatures have been highest.
Other recent nuggets from the IllicitEncounters.com crew include the fact that Audi drivers are the most adulterous car owners. Vorsprung Durch Technik indeed.

"On December 12th, 2015, at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change held in Paris, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal and legally binding climate deal. They agreed to decarbonize the economy in order to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2ºC relative to the preindustrial levels. Although each country is free to design its own strategy on mitigation and adaptation, it will be bound to such strategy and is supposed to implement the bulk of the adjustments by 2050. Many questions arise from the Paris Agreement that points to a second Industrial Revolution. What are the required changes in the structure of production and in the patterns of consumption? What will be their impacts on emissions, employment and international trade? This book answers these questions from a variety of input-output models able to compute the impacts on specific sectors and regions. This volume has 17 chapters written by 52 co-authors who are specialists in input-output analysis and environmental sustainability. They come from 24 universities, research centers and international agencies all over the world, sharing their commitments to explain important and complex ideas in a way that is understandable to the non-experts and experts alike.Environmental and Economic Impacts of Decarbonization is a very important read for those who study environmental economics, climate change and ecological economics."--Provided by publisher.
