"Books & Articles" because it's just code.
under "Books & Articles" because it's just code.
It used to be the code example displayed on the start page, if I remember correctly. Shouldn't it be put there (with some text that explains what's going on), if not already done so? Looks like it was temporarily "parked" under "Books & Articles" and forgotten.
Okay. Do you know how to add it as a code example? It doesn't make a good first impression.
The code doesn't look up to date and maybe it's been replaced with a more up to date example (i.e. with range chaining). It uses ulong instead of size_t. I dunno, maybe it should be dropped completely.
ulong is appropriate here; the maximum word count should not be dependent on the system's memory limits, since it's streaming from an (arbitrary large) file.

Kingsley Voices Animated Villain in 'Boxtrolls'
Published Jul 26, 2014 at 5:04 PM | Updated at 5:10 PM PDT on Jul 26, 2014
SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 26: Actor Ben Kingsley attends the "The Boxtrolls" panel during Comic-Con International 2014 at San Diego Convention Center on July 26, 2014 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Sir Ben Kingsley was lying down on the job while making his latest film, the stop-motion animated feature "The Boxtrolls."
"I did most of my recordings lying down, reclining on a kind of sofa bed," the 70-year-old Oscar winner told an audience Saturday at Comic-Con. "I wanted his voice to come from his belly, not from where my voice normally comes from. It was a very relaxed recording session, and I did nod off occasionally."
Kingsley added that he found it "very liberating just to depend upon my voice to bring this extraordinary creature to life."
Made by the studio behind "Coraline" and "ParaNorman," "The Boxtrolls" follows a family of underground creatures who come out after dark to collect above-ground garbage to construct their ever-evolving world. A human boy, voiced by Isaac Hempstead Wright of "Game of Thrones," lives among them and believes he, too, is a Boxtroll.
Costumes of Comic-Con
Kingsley's character, Snatcher, is convinced the creatures are evil and aims to put an end to them.
"Snatcher is designed to be one of the greatest, all-time animated villains, so he's got to have that sense of malevolence. He's got to be very intimidating and yet at the same time, there's sort of a degree of vulnerability there," filmmaker Travis Knight said. "We thought there was absolutely no chance we would get Ben Kingsley. When he said yes, we celebrated throughout the studio."
Other stars lending voices to the stop-motion film 10 years in the making are Elle Fanning (whose older sister, Dakota, voiced the lead character in "Coraline"), Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Tracy Morgan.
Stars of Comic-Con 2014
The presentation ended with Kingsley and other cast members leading the audience of more than 6,000 in a cheer for Morgan, who was severely injured in a June auto accident. As the filmmakers captured video on their mobile phones, the crowd cheered, "We love you Tracy."

NICOLE FIACCO GALLERY
Sonya Kelliher-Combs:
Nicole Fiacco Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of artist Sonya Kelliher-Combs titled Secrets. Having been included in major group exhibitions at the Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY and the Heard Museum, Phoenix, AZ, this exhibition will mark Ms. Kelliher-Combs' solo debut within the continental United States. The exhibition will include recent work from the Secrets series, where the artist explores the nature of the secret; its transparency, vocabulary and manifestation. On view will be mixed-media paintings, ceiling installations and three- dimensional works that use diverse materials including human hair, fiber, sewn hide, quills and beads.
In a statement granted for a recent review of Ms. Kelliher-Combs' solo exhibition at the Anchorage Museum of Art and History published in the Anchorage Daily News, David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator of the Museum of Art and Design in New York, NY states that '(She) uses unexpected materials in innovative ways to create an emotional and spiritual mood around her pieces that I really respond to. They have to do with memories or traces of things that have gone on.' In the exhibition essay published for Kelliher-Combs' 2004 solo exhibition at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art in Alaska, Lisa Favero of Harvard University writes:
Her work is engaged as much with art as with craft, with the past as much as the present or the future, and it oscillates between cultures and vantage points: Native and non-Native, Western and non-Western, Eskimo and Indian. If the organic form and line of her paintings and drawings relate to a tradition of Euro-American abstraction, they resonate just as profoundly with archaic or modern Alaska Native ornamentation and crafts, such as Eskimo tattoos or late twentieth century Athabaskan beadwork designs. Some pieces could be equally qualified as sewing as much as painting or sculpture. Her use of nearly any material, whether beads, gut, fur or a synthetic product, can often simultaneously be termed domestic, industrial, conventional and avant-garde.
Referring to her Alaskan Native cultural background, Lisa Favero states that "In transforming traditions into one another Kelliher-Combs displaces the common conception of art as a declarative expression of ethnicity. The removal of comfortable, stable and distinct ethnic traits likewise displaces viewers who seek the stereotypes that this work does not offer."
Sonya Kelliher-Combs lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska. The artist received her M.F.A from Arizona State University and has exhibited with frequency in Alaska since 1990. Ms. Kelliher-Combs was recently included in Changing Hands 2: Art without Reservation, an important group exhibition of contemporary Native American art at the Museum of Art and Design in New York, NY. In 2004, Kelliher-Combs exhibited in a solo show at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. Ms. Kelliher-Combs' work has been reviewed with frequency in The Anchorage Daily News and The Arizona Republic. Other writings on the work of Ms. Kelliher-Combs have been included in Museum Today, Shade Magazine and several exhibition catalogues.

Mohit Raina, best known for playing Lord Shiva on television, has made his Bollywood debut with blockbuster film Uri: The Surgical Strike. In an exclusive chat, he talks about the film's success and playing a Special Forces commando in the Aditya Dhar directorial.
Mohit Raina played the character of Major Karan Kashyap in Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Mohit Raina has managed to leave an impact with his fierce act of Major Karan Kashyap in 2019's first blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike. The actor, known for playing Lord Shiva in hit TV show Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev, has made a smooth transition to Bollywood with the Aditya Dhar directorial, starring Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
In an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, Raina talks about how it was getting noticed even in a small role, life post-Uri and the best compliment he has received so far.
Q. How's the josh right now?
It has crossed all limits. It is through the roof. It is too high!
Q. Did you ever think a special appearance role will get you so much limelight?
No, I hadn't thought it would be so much! I had imagined the love. There was some expectation but obviously, it has surpassed all. It has gone to another level and it's a great feeling.
Q. How was your experience of working in Uri?
When it comes to the Army and what they do for us, we cannot repay them in any way but that emotion was on the back of everybody's mind to show the globe what our defence forces can do. So the intention of everybody was that they wanted the project to look good and that paid off immensely. Everybody must have compromised in their own capacity to make the project look good because everybody was so attached to the story and the script.
Mohit Raina in a still from Uri: The Surgical Strike.
Q. What was the toughest part of playing Major Karan Kashyap?
Aditya (director) wanted everyone to go through the training because he wanted everyone to look like Special Forces commandos. I trained with the team for two months. We used to do workshops where all of us bonded really well.
The difficult part was to actually train throughout the day because the level of training in the army is really intense. Other than that everything was smooth. And now everyone would like to go back and do the training again, start from scratch!
Q. Can we say you have become half a sniper?
It's become much better. Now, those are the perks of the profession. So I got a trainer in Bombay and then while shooting in Serbia too as we were using their weapons. From a layman's perspective, it (shooting ability) is decent now.
Q. What was the best compliment you received for the film?
I got the best compliment from Rohit Shetty. He said that you have an amazing screen presence and you look really good in uniform. The uniform has its own charm, charisma and power. It was very sweet of him!
Q. What has been more exciting – playing the mythical Lord Shiva or a realistic army officer?
Every character has its own charm. I did a show called 21 Sarfarosh – Saragarhi 1897, based on the Sikh regiment's battle in 1897. So for an actor, he doesn't work for the medium, he works for the camera. The camera might go the digital zone or a film zone or a TV. But the actor is working as the character. So you have to become anybody. You can become a Lord Shiva, you can become a Samrat Asoka or you can become a Sardar who is fighting a battle or you can become Major Karan Kashyap.
Mohit Raina received immense love while playing Lord Shiva in TV show Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev.
Q. Do you think you were getting typecast doing all those costume dramas on TV?
No, I was the one who was taking them. Maybe I just got too attached to the characters which had power and command. I loved playing them because they had a lot of scope.
In this story also (Uri), you know from A to Z what is going to happen because that has already taken place. To replicate it on screen, gives you an adrenaline rush. It's a very exciting feeling to play those characters which have existed in reality and which have a lot of power and can generate a lot of command.
Q. Despite being a media shy person, your personal life remains the talk of the town. How do you deal with it?
I don't have a great social life as such. I have been this person for a while now. Maybe slowly and slowly I would love to change it because that's how things function at times. But it's just happening. It's not like it is planned. It's just happening.
Q. So, what next from your end?
I have finished working on a digital series. I will be doing more now. One digital series and one feature film. Let's hope a formal announcement will be made soon.

Ancient Ruins
Kumbhalgarh: The Great Wall of India
Kumbhalgarh is a Mewar fortress and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Aravalli Hills, in the Rajsamand district in western India.
The fort was built during the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, the ruler of the Mewar kingdom of western India. Out of the 84 forts in his dominion, Rana Kumbha is said to have built 32 of them, of which Kumbhalgarh is the largest and most elaborate.
The site was first occupied with a defensive structure, built by King Samprati of the Maura Age on account of strategic importance during the 6th century.
The present fort is built on a hilltop 1,100 m (3,600 ft) above sea level on the Aravalli range, the fort has a perimeter wall that extends 36 km (22 mi), making it one of the longest walls in the world (described as the "Great Wall of India") with seven fortified gateways.

From its strategic position, it is possible to see many miles into the Aravalli Range and the sand dunes of the Thar Desert. With frontal walls measuring fifteen feet thick, the fort remained almost impregnable to direct assault despite multiple failed sieges.
Ahmed Shah I (ruler of the Muzaffarid dynasty, who reigned over the Gujarat Sultanate) attacked the fort in 1457 but found the effort futile. There were further failed attempts in 1458–59 and 1467 by Mahmud Khalji (a 15th-century sultan of the Malwa Sultanate).
The general of Akbar the Great, Shabhbaz Khan, is believed to have taken control of the fort in 1576. But it was recaptured by Maharana Pratap in 1585. Finally in 1615 the Mewar kingdom surrendered against the Mughal forces sent by Emperor Jahangir under the command of Prince Khurram where it took the combined armies of Delhi, Amber, and Marwar to breach its defences by poisoning the forts water supply.
Temples in Kumbhalgarh- Image Credit : Honzasoukup – CC BY 3.0
Among the internal buildings, are the ruins of the palace complex, over 360 temples, 300 ancient Jain (Jainism, traditionally known as Jain Dharma, is an ancient Indian religion) and the rest Hindu.
The fort remained occupied till the 19th century when it was taken over by the British and later returned to Udaipur State.

Legally Weird
For Nat'l Cat Day, Our Top 10 Cat-Related Legal Tales
By Betty Wang, JD on October 29, 2013 1:02 PM
Guess what day it is? It's National Cat Day! Every October 29, cat owners and admirers alike have a purr-fect excuse to honor some of the most popular domestic pets in the country -- and of course, the Internet as well.
In the ultimate showdown of dogs v. cats, feline afficionados will adamantly boast that cats are low-maintenance, they won't eat your homework, and they're just as great for companionship.
In celebration of National Cat Day, here 10 cat-related legal tales that we've had the honor of blogging about:
Dusty the cat burglar. Meet Dusty -- not your ordinary night-prowling cat, but an actual cat-burglar. That's right, this cat from California has stolen more than 600 items (including bikinis, bras, and shoes), with a record of 11 items in one night. Talk about slick (and, if he were human, very illegal).
'Cat woman' robber. Speaking of cats and theft -- a woman from Astoria, New York, also drew inspiration from beloved felines by incorporating a silly "cat woman" theme into her disguise while she commited a series of robberies.
Those who wear cats. Make sure you put your meal down for this one. A homeless man actually skinned and gutted a cat and then wore it around his neck -- for warmth -- as a sign of... his devotion to cats? Either way, an insanity defense might apply to him.
A cat tied to a rock. No, this isn't a riddle. After Stella the cat refused to go jogging with her owner, he decided to tie her to a rock under some shade while he finished his run. Some witnesses were outraged, while the owner claimed it was out of consideration for the tired tabby. At this point, only Stella knows.
Cat attack. Cats aren't always the purring, loving creatures they seem to be. Take this $100,000 lawsuit filed by a man who claimed he was viciously clawed and attacked by a cat. Oh, and here's the clincher: The cat was likely owned by the man's wife.
Cat protection. Don't mess with someone's cat, as one Texas woman who shot her husband in the stomach in defense of her cat will tell you.
Falling cats. If you have a cat and live in a high-rise apartment, remember that they can only leap so far. You don't want to end up in the same predicament as the man who lost both a family dog and a cat, allegedly by leaving a balcony door open.
Rescued cat. Here's a feel-good story for you: Batman and Captain America rescued a cat from a burning building. Oh, and by Batman and Captain America, we mean two civilians in costume.
Wheelchair-bound cats. Bet you didn't know this was a law: In Florida, even disabled cats, including one that was confined to a wheelchair, technically must be on a leash in public. No exceptions, that's just how they roll in the Sunshine State.
Cat videos instead of work. Who doesn't love cat videos? One man actually outsourced his own job to China and then proceeded to watch cat videos on company time.
Of course, these tales only begin to scratch the surface of all the felines we've featured in our legal blogs. From all of us at FindLaw, Happy National Cat Day!

Defend Cara
Fundraising Goal
With Your Help We Can
Cara Hamstra is a Christian videographer who is being targeted with a complaint after declining to use her artistic skills to celebrate a same-sex wedding. The couple is now seeking to make her pay for her beliefs. We hope you will join us in defending her.
Compelling Artists to Violate their
Consciences: The Case of Cara Hamstra
Compelling Artists to Violate their Consciences: The Case of Cara Hamstra
Should the government force an artist to create artwork that is opposed to his or her beliefs or convictions?
The Acacia Group is defending Cara Hamstra, a Christian videographer, against a human rights complaint. Cara politely declined to act as the videographer for a same-sex couple's wedding. The couple filed a complaint and now seek damages for Cara's choice. They do not recognize that Cara would be damaged by choosing to violate her own conscience.
Cara believes marriage is, by God's good design, the lifelong union of one man and one woman. Much of the secular world might no longer hold to these beliefs. But she does. This religious belief is fundamental to her faith, sincerely held, and at the core of her lawfully protected right to religious freedom.
As a wedding videographer, Ms. Hamstra is an interviewer, storyteller, film director, and film producer. Her craft is much more than simply wielding a camera to capture footage, which itself requires talent and artistic perspective. First, Cara interviews the couple. Then she plans scenes, gives stage directions and comes up with unique ways of capturing and conveying the couple's love story. Finally, Cara films for approximately ten hours, compiles the footage, edits video and audio recordings, selects accompanying music, and spends many hours arranging it all into a finished work of art.
As Cara tells it, "I become very personally involved with these couples as the director of the day and editor for months after…I promote and encourage the love story that bound them together before God, the Creator of marriage."
As a Christian artist, Cara does all of this to capture and communicate the goodness of God's gift of marriage and to give glory to God. Cara's faith is inextricably intertwined with her art – she cannot separate the two. Cara's sincerely held religious beliefs, artistic integrity, and conscience do not permit her to artistically depict a sacred ceremony that is contrary to her belief of God's design for marriage.
Requiring Cara to violate her religious beliefs by creating celebratory videos of same-sex weddings or to cease working as a wedding videographer would severely infringe her freedom of conscience and religion, her freedom of expression and her right to equal treatment under the law on the basis of religion. The right to equal treatment in the Ontario Human Rights Code must not be interpreted in a manner that would force an artist, and in this case, an artist of Christian faith, to communicate or depict in a celebratory way something to which he or she sincerely objects.
It is far better to permit artists like Cara to be honest and upfront about which artistic projects they will or will not take on.
For example, a Muslim freelance writer would likely not object to being hired by a Christian per se. However, he might object to being hired to write a defense of the divinity of Jesus Christ, or a critique of the teachings of Mohammed. Legally permitting the Muslim freelance writer to decline such assignments would not unduly threaten Christians' rights to have equal access to services without discrimination based on religion. Rather, it would protect the Muslim writer's freedom of conscience and religion. Similarly, should a Buddhist who adopted, for spiritual reasons, a vegan lifestyle be forced to be the official photographer and social media promoter of a hunter and angler convention?
The Human Rights Code already limits the scope of non-discrimination rules with respect to weddings. Religious officials are not required to officiate or support the celebration of a wedding that is contrary to their religious beliefs. The Code does not compel religious officials to violate their beliefs, even though religious officials have the privileged legal capacity to officiate weddings.
This same reasoning applies to Cara because she also has Charter-protected religious beliefs about the nature and meaning of marriage as a religious institution. The nature of her services in connection with a marriage ceremony is such that she would be expected to depict that event in a positive and celebratory light, which would conflict with her beliefs.
These arguments do not suggest that LGBT-identified persons should not generally have equal access to goods and services. Of course they should. But a custom wedding video created by an artist such as Cara makes it different. It is art. It conveys a message. It cannot be compelled by the state in violation of a person's freedom of conscience, religion, and expression. To force Cara to create this video would be to say: "Say something you do not believe in or lose your job."
To force Cara to create art she does not agree with is to force her to say something she does not believe. To force Cara to create art she does not agree with is to mandate state-compelled speech and state-compelled artistic expression.

Largest vaccine centre opening in Lisbon
The vaccination process in Lisbon will undergo changes from Wednesday, with the opening of "a large centre" in Parque das Nações and the closing of the others, with the exception of Ajuda, announced the camera.
By TPN/Lusa, in COVID-19, Lisbon · 27 Nov 2021, 20:00 · 0 Comments
"The need to strengthen the vaccination capacity in the city of Lisbon imposed changes in the process, motivating the decision to open a large centre in Pavilion 4 of the Lisbon International Fair (Parque das Nações), with 60 posts and a capacity to administer up to 9,000 inoculations against Covid-19 or flu per day".
The opening of this new vaccination centre at the Lisbon International Fair (FIL, from Wednesday, December 1), had already been announced by the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas (PSD).

In both her personal and professional lives, Betsy Leahy likes to go new places. Outside of work, it's all about seeking health and wellness destinations. On the job, it's about discovering new learning opportunities—but not just for herself.
After holding a range of accounting and finance positions for Merck over the last 18 years, her career path took a different turn over the last five. Now, Betsy oversees the professional development of the entire global finance population of this leading biopharmaceutical company.
Here, Betsy shares why she chose to participate in the Data Driven Leadership Program offered by AICPA, and how it helps her guide Merck employees towards their own career destinations.
The biggest challenge I deal with now—and what drew me into the program—is the rate of change taking place in the finance profession. The finance organization has a tremendous amount of new technology and tools available to them.
How can we shift them from some of the more traditional ways of looking at and analyzing data to learn more about the story that the data is telling us? And how do we use that data-driven insight to partner with the business to advance towards the results it needs?
Keeping up with change means upskilling the finance organization for a very different future. So, I wanted to arm myself with more information about how to get the right learning programs in place to bridge any potential skill gaps.
I was looking for a good foundational course for a broad employee finance base about how to become a data-driven leader—what they need to know about the future of data and new ways of working.
Because I find that finance individuals are really valued for their technical skills, but sometimes they don't have the "softer skills" they need. For example, agility is going to be critical—the ability to change at a rapid pace. That is a skill they will have to excel at, as it's a new way of working.
Also, finance is uniquely positioned to understand both the data AND the business. It all intersects. And, we need to be able to relay that to the business.
Those were some of the key takeaways I had from the Data Driven Leadership Program, that softer skills are important and something we need to focus on and that finance definitely has a role in this future space – and with new skills.
Right now, I'm using what I've learned to help me build a curriculum for a significant portion of the finance organization. I've been evaluating the skills we want to highlight and what programs to put in place to develop those skills.
While I don't have to worry about these 2,000 people leading a data transformation, I do need them to understand the role that data is going to play going forward.
That's why I would recommend the program to other companies, to build awareness that the future of finance and accounting isn't going to be what we've done traditionally in the past.
When you're thinking about the evolution of the profession, there's a tremendous amount of opportunity for finance professionals. My advice to them would be to stay open to opportunities and not be afraid to go down different paths because, ultimately, that's what's going to lead to their development.
For myself, I'm very excited to add the Data Driven Leadership Program to my credentials. It helps me speak to the future of this profession and what my company and other companies need to focus on to upskill their organizations for the future.

Nuclear Medicine is a subspecialty in the field of radiology. Radiology Imaging Associates offers a full range of nuclear medicine services which are listed below. We have radiologists who are Board Certified in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine and have many years of training and experience reading these types of exams.
Nuclear Medicine is a safe, painless, and cost-effective technique to image the body and treat disease. Nuclear medicine imaging is unique, because it provides doctors with information about both structure and metabolic function. It is a way to gather medical information that would otherwise be unavailable, require surgery, or necessitate more expensive diagnostic tests. Nuclear medicine imaging procedures often identify abnormalities very early in the progress of a disease, long before many medical problems are apparent with other diagnostic tests.
The nuclear medicine test is performed with the introduction very small amounts of radioactive material (radiopharmaceuticals) either by injection, oral ingestion or inhalation. The radiopharmaceuticals are detected by special types of cameras that work with computers to provide very precise pictures about the area of the body being imaged. In treatment, the radiopharmaceuticals go directly to the organ being treated. The amount of radiation in a typical nuclear imaging exam is comparable with that received during a diagnostic x-ray.
These procedures are very safe and many require no special preparation by the patient.
For a broad range of information about Nuclear Medicine, please visit the RadiologyInfo website.
Important Note: A written referral order from your physician is absolutely required for the exam to be performed. Please bring the order from your doctor with you.


/ Blog / What Does The 'Sharing Economy' Mean to You?
What Does The 'Sharing Economy' Mean to You?
It's a term that gets used a lot these days. Newspapers love it, politicians are discussing it, and as a vacation rental owner some people consider you a part of it. But do you consider yourself as part of the 'Sharing Economy'? Or is yours just another business that simply sells space to the public at a profit? Could describing all vacation rentals as part of this sharing economy, be not just inaccurate, but damaging to the future development of the industry of dedicated hosts?
The problem is that there is still a suspicion that the sharing economy is a fad, unlikely to escape from the 'small time' mentality. The businesses themselves have attracted huge investment and valuations, but the people providing the service are doing this on an amateur level. This is still a sense that by using services in the sharing economy you are taking a chance. You are entrusting a service to a person with no formal training, qualifications or requirements. This is not the case with vacation rentals. Professional owners and managers need to be dedicated and professional in order to survive. Negative implications of being part of the sharing economy stem from the businesses being viewed by some as a cottage industry - less legitimate and regulated than established businesses. There is an implicit suggestion of being 'small-time'.
Is the sharing economy part of the problem that vacation rentals are having in the battle to emerge as a permanent business force? Should professional, full-time hosts be distancing themselves from the idea of the sharing economy and focusing on doing more to establish professional hosts as a sector of their own?
Airbnb is one of the biggest businesses in the sharing economy and an important part of many hosts' revenue. Whilst many hosts may use Airbnb to host their properties, more full-time vacation rental managers may not consider themselves to be part of the peer-to-peer economy. To many, sharing sites are just a good platform to host their properties and reach their guests. Their business models operate in a more traditional way, and whilst they can be similar, they are not just a newer version of existing sites like Airbnb that people may consider them to be.
Speaking in a Fortune interview the CEO of HomeAway describes how vacation rentals do not necessarily fit into the sharing economy.
To hear Sharples explain it, HomeAway [couldn't be more different from sharing economy businesses]. His company caters to people wealthy enough to own a second home. The other guys are catering to scrappers who are so hard up they offer a room in their home to strangers.
HomeAway are also backing this up with a $100 million marketing budget that aims to define the difference between apartments that are part of the sharing economy and the exact service that HomeAway provide. And this is not a small site, HomeAway is a giant in the industry and it still feels the need to be even clearer about how their business operates.
Clearly, there exist beneficial transactions enabled through the sharing economy... that provide positive utility, have no negative externalities, and thus manifest themselves as a net gain in social welfare.
Airbnb have also commissioned reports into their economic impact in nine cities and it is almost impossible to overstate the positive effect they have had on bringing vacation rentals into the public eye. They are one of the true success stories of the sharing economy and a vital portal for many full time vacation rental businesses, but is covering all vacation rentals with this term damaging the public image of some businesses that do not fit in it? As we have seen from HomeAway's PR and new marketing campaign there are businesses that are separating themselves from the idea of the sharing economy.
And whilst there may be signs of division growing, all of this is good news. As the industry expands, businesses are now defining themselves in clear ways and not all of them fit in the popular example of the sharing economy. This is a sign that vacation rentals are becoming established as a permanent force, as different branches and brands separate from each other and are still strong enough to survive. Vacation rentals do not have to operate in the same way and businesses are starting to separate themselves from images that don't describe them correctly.

Week Ten: Auburn vs Texas Preview
RussellMania · March 5, 2019
Auburn comes into this game in control of their own destiny and riding a three-game win streak. Due to Texas's blowout loss against Clemson last week, Auburn can't sneak into the championship game. However, a win against Texas this week would put them firmly in a top bowl billing. Expect the Tigers to take out a bit of frustration on Texas for ruining their title hopes. On the other hand, the Longhorns are reeling right now after getting beat down for the worst loss in team history. Sitting at 2-2 in the conference, Texas needs this win to maintain Gator bowl hopes for a Tennessee or Clemson rematch. Under no circumstances does this team want to lay down and die to end the season. Get ready for an absolute dogfight.
The Tigers pack quite a punch on offense from on angles. When it comes to keeping the chains moving, no one can compete. 24.4 first downs a game puts them right at the top. Toss in the best third down percentage and you have a lot of long drives down field. There are many reasons that this offense continues to be one of the best. Blake Moon is passing more than ever before but still manages to keep defenses guessing. Just the ability to scramble is altering plays. His running back Billy Carter has some strong legs of his own. The first year back has totaled 1129 yards on a 6 yards per carry clip this year. The receiver duo of Alex A. Cook and Wayne Carter has yet to get shut down this year. The Texas defense is going to have to pick their battles as they can't stop the whole package.
For every strength the Texas offense brings to the table, this defense can counter. Eric LeClear is up to 85 tackles on the year along with 7 tackles for loss. The SS can come up and lay a solid hit on even the biggest of backs. The man in the middle, Tony Bryant, also can pack a punch in the run stopping game. His tackle total is up to 73 and includes 5 tackles for loss. Even more impressive are the three interceptions, a mark that is near the top for linebackers. The big question for Auburn is their inability to force turnovers. While they get pressure on the quarterback and put teams in tough third down spots, the Tigers defense doesn't come up with takeaways that often. With Voodoo coming off of a three-interception game, getting an interception early would set the tone for the entire game.
A lot of the blame for the loss against Clemson comes down to the struggles of this offense. Ray Tatum was not his usual self, throwing three interceptions and only getting 236 passing yards. His performance will have to be much sharper against yet another great pass defense. The one huge bright spot from last week was new wide receiver Rickey Stedman. Stedman got 10 catches and 109 yards in his debut game. Another performance like that and Texas could put more trust in their passing game. Running back Geaux Bamba has been quiet lately, but still managed to get 124 yards on 18 carries last week. He also added in an unusual 10 receptions for 50 yards. Look for him to try and break a kick return tonight as you know he wants to bring back his week 1-4 performance. This unit is powerful but needs to keep things together tonight.
Giving up 51 points last week was a new high for this Longhorn defense. Their previous three games showed positive improvement from the secondary, which DJ Moss promptly ended. Jimbo Smithers still dominated on the way to a 12-tackle game with massive hits. Look for more of the same from him as he continues to lay the lumber on opposing players. Junior linebacker Justin Boudreaux can stop the run with the best of them. He should be playing up with the line to put a damper on Auburn's two man rushing attack. Stopping the run will be key to a Texas victory tonight. Holding those first down rushing attempts to under three yards will be the main goal for the Texas defense. If Michael Sudeikis can pitch in with a couple sacks against Moon like he did in his first year, then watch out for this team to take control.
Auburn Secondary vs Texas Passing Game
Auburn's secondary has been stellar while the Texas passing game has been mistake prone and janky. This provides a great opportunity for the Tigers defense to step up and improve their turnover margin. Eric LeClear should be able to stay back in a zone and take away the big passing plays Texas like to try. On the other hand, Texas needs to find consistency in the air without going to the same receiver over and over. This has happened both with Jackson James and Rickey Stedman. While both had great individual performances, spreading the ball out more will increase their chances of victory. Look for Voodoo to be a bit more careful with his passes tonight.
Auburn QB Blake Moon vs Texas DE Michael Sudeikis
Remember what happened the last time these two met? Sack City went off for 5 sacks against the star QB. This time, the teams are different, and Texas has a better defense than the defunct LSU team. Moon is still a star who can make plays all over the field. Regardless of how good of a QB you are, being in the dirt all game gets to you. If Sudeikis and his neck roll can make plays, Texas can power into a win. If Moon dominates early and slips around the D-line, he can have his way with the entire defense.
After scrolling through their recent performances, it looks like Auburn is going to have a slight edge coming into this one. The Tigers are rolling whereas the Longhorns are reeling. Due to their offensive versatility, I have to say that Auburn will win this one in a back and forth game. Either team can take this one with just one major play. Whether it be a long bomb or a kick return, something is going to happen that changes the course of the game.
Auburn 35, Texas 31
