Hot Aimee Teegarden Wiki, Boyfriend, Dating and Net Worth
Date: 16 Nov, 2015 Report This
Aimee Richelle Teegarden is an American actress, model as well as a producer who was born in a middle class family in Downey, California, U.S.A on the 10th of October, 1989 and in 2015 is 26 years of age. She was born to working class parents, and despite being an American by birth has got mixed European ethnicity. With her hard work and talent, she has gained a worldwide fame and her net worth value of 3 million US dollars explains the fame that she has achieved. To know more about her life and career, you can read her biography in Wikipedia or also IMDB.
Aimee is a gorgeous looking girl and there is no denial to that. Her fans have considered being very appealing and sexy and there are certainly scenes and pictures to support that statement. With not a very tall height, she stands about 5 feet and 7 inches tall which is not bad either. With her long and sexy legs that make her look taller than she actually is, she has got considerably big feet and her shoe size is 8. With her long silky hair which she often changes color from red to blonde, she has got beautiful golden brown eyes, and a perfect set of teeth that is revealed whenever she smiles. With her hot pair of lips that always possess a smile; she says she is very positive and confident towards her work and life, as a whole.
With a last recorded body weight of 56 kg, she has got a very well- shaped figure body which she has revealed on a couple of occasion in some bold and sexy scenes in the movies. She also has got some hot pictures in short dresses and bikinis that you can find on the media as well as on her official Instagram account. With her healthy living habits and exercising routines; she has got a body measurement of 30-28-33 inches (Breast- Waist- Hip), with her breasts size being 30 B. In all her exposed pictures, there seems to be no tattoo on her body that we have noticed so far.
A beautiful, young and famous girl that she is, it would not be a matter of surprise to find out that she has been in more than one relationship. However, there is not a very long list when it comes to her boyfriends, and maybe her official record of affairs reflects only half the number of the actual ones. Either way, all the rumors regarding her personal affairs have not been proved true or we have to stick with only those that have been confirmed.
In that case, she has been in altogether three affairs till now; with her first boyfriend being actor Jeremy Sumpter, whom she was together from 2009 till 2011. After that ended, she was seen dating musician/ actor Thomas McDonell. These two were believed to be actually serious about their romance but it all ended three years later in 2014. From then, she has been continuously linked up with actor Zach Gilford, although it was denied earlier. But after spotted together in public on couple of occasions, the news was out about them being together and is still together till date.

PFC Joseph P. Dwyer was an Iraq combat medic that returned from the war with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a brain injury (TBI). Because many veterans live with the side effects of PTSD and TBI, it became clear that a program was needed to provide peer-to-peer support to these heroes.
As a result, the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program was created as a part of the 2012-2013 NY State budget to help veterans meet with other veterans in a secure, comfortable atmosphere to help eash other cope with the effects of PTSD & TBI. The Vet-to-Vet approach of the program allows for complete anonymity withour fear of reprisal. The PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Veteran's Peer to Peer Programs goal is to link Veterans together for socialization and friendship. This program utilized peer support from those who can relate to the struggles of transitioning into civilian life.
The Dwyer Program is a non-clinical program and does not provide case management for individuals. It does, however, link veterans with other service providers in our community if there is a specific need.
Under the the direction of Cindy Reidy, Project Coordinator, Chautauqua County began a new Dwyer Program in April of 2017, becoming the 16th county in NYS to recieve the funding to operate the project, thanks to Senator Cathy Young. Our volunteer Assistant Coordinator, Mattie McIntyre, joined us in September and is now working to organize and schedule events for Northern Chautauqua County.
For a complete list check out the Event Calendar.
All activities are free to the veteran and their family.

Q: CakePHP empty login function In everything CakePHP app I have worked with recently, the login function is empty so how on earth does the login functionality work?? I presume somehow Cake is defaulting, not sure how it knows to even default it, but where is/are these defaults?
i.e function login() {}

A: look at the auth component https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/cake/libs/controller/components/auth.php#L680

A: The whole magic happens in the startup() callback of the AuthComponent. That method is triggered before the controller action is executed. It checks if there is POST data in the defined format (data[UserModel][usernameField], etc.), validates it against the User model and redirects you to loginRedirect, if it was successful.
CakePHP knows on which controller/action pair to act through the $loginAction property you can set to the AuthComponent.

A: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html
i hope this tutorial will be useful for user login management

It is known for its dense, saturated colors. It is possible to distinguish a real gem from a fake one by looking at the color. It's possible that your stone is a fake.
Green, orange, and red are some of the most valuable colors. The price for good-quality garnets of that color is over $6,000 per carats. The most important factor in the value is color. Some of the most prized colors are green, orange and red.
The most expensive stone on the market today is tsavorite. It's easy to get by in the up to the one-karat size in the lower grades. Fine, top color, clean Tsavorite is hard to find, and stones over the two carats are rare, and the price per carats jumps dramatically.
It is possible to find individual crystals, pebbles, or clumps of inter-grown crystals when you look at gemstones. There are a variety of gemstones, some of which can be red, orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, blue, black, pink, and colourless. There are only a few blue garnets in the world.
What do you think about Real Garnet? When people think of garnet, they usually think of a dark red stone. There are greens that are comparable to the best quality emeralds, oranges, and pinkish oranges, and deep reds that are similar to rubies.

Garnets are more magnetic than any other transparent gemstones due to the fact that they have higher concentrations of paramagnetic iron and/or manganese. Different types of Garnets may have different susceptibility to magnetism.
We don't think it's a good idea to make an engagement ring out of garnets. The stone is very soft and can be damaged.
Rubies are more valuable to gemstone buyers. The larger rubies have higher values than the smaller ones. Less expensive gems can be found for as little as $5 to $5,000 per carats.
Warm soapy water can be used to clean garnets. It is usually safe to use the cleaner on stones that have broken bones. It's not a good idea to clean with steam.
The prices of garnet stone can vary a lot. Depending on the size of the stone, they can be as high as $7000 per carats for clean stones and as low as $500 for clean stones. Demantoid is the most valuable of all the gemstones.
Is it possible for Garnet to get scratched or cracked? It is possible to scratch gems by any of the same hardness or harder than they are. Some garnets can be scratched if they are at 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 years of age. In nature, it's common to find quasar.
They can be red, orange, pink, green, black, honey brown and so on. There are many minerals that are named after their color. The main chemical formula for each of these garnets is SiO 44.
There are more than twenty species of garnet, but only five are commercially important. pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular, and andradite are the five minerals that make up those five. It's a green garnet that's too small to be cut.
There are gemstones in the world. Different types of garnets can be found in a variety of locations. It is possible to find Pyrope in South Africa, Sri Lanka, China, and Madagascar, and it is also possible to findAlmandite in India, Brazil, and the USA.
Most of the time, red garnets are found. Tsavorite is the only green garnet that is mined in the two East African countries. In the 19th century, a large find of green demantoid garnet was found in Russia. There are two types of green garnet, each with a price of thousands of dollars.
It is a good idea to wear gemstones on your thumb. The index finger has something to do with it. The finger is a representation of authority and power. The kings used to wear a ring on this finger in the olden days because it was used to warn or instruct.
The stones are light to dark in color and can be bluish, greenish, pink, red, and purple. Color shift phenomena can be seen in stones. Some of the stones are referred to as "Malaya" by their sellers. The type II clarity stone is called Pyrope-spessartite.

It is similar to many colored stones. You can see white and green light when you look at tsavorite. The intensity of fire is different in demantoid and in other places. The first Demantoid garnets were found in Russia.
Tsavorites over 2 carats are extremely rare. The prices range from $500 to $7,000 for clean large stones with top color. Demantoid garnet is one of the most valuable and rare colored gemstones.
Warm soapy water and a soft brush are all you need to clean your jewelry. It is a good idea to avoid steamers when the temperature changes. It's a good idea to rinse your garnets after they're washed. The demantoid variety is the only one that may be treated with Ultrasonic treatments.
Rubies are more expensive than any other item. Take a close look at the color. If the stone has a hint of orange or other tones other than red, it is most likely a garnet. Rubies with a vivid redness are the best, but they can also have bluish or purplish secondary colors.
There are real rubies that glow with a red hue. The fake gems are not as bright as they could be. If the gem is more of a red color, it could be a gem of the same color as a Ruby.
Love and friendship are the two most important things in life. The associations with the heart, blood, inner fire, and life force are what make garnets a symbol of love. A friendship is also encompassed by the symbolism of grenache.
The settings of your jewelry need to be cleaned to keep the dirt out. To clean each metal setting, use 12 cup of water and 2 drops of a mild soap and mix well.
If you want to turn up the power of your healing crystal, you can leave it on top of a cluster of rock crystals, which will absorb all the bad vibes and make your healing crystal more powerful.
It's possible that the stones of amethyst are transparent or translucent. It can have different shades of purple and lilac, which is why it is valued, even though it doesn't have the same range of colors.

Designed by JYA-RCHITECTS in the small village of Jangheung town in the southeastern province of South Korea, this Low Cost House provides shelter for a family of seven. The architects used shipping containers and light gauge framing to offer an inspiring example of how green design can overcome even the tight budget.
The design and construction team examined the conditions of the family's existing home and found that the physical and environmental conditions were too poor to renovate. Therefore, they decided to knock down the home and rebuild it.
The team then evaluated the huge budget issue and decided that multiple cost-cutting measures could be implemented through innovative building methods.
First, they chose to build a 'container house' that minimizes site work and construction time. Their second design innovation included surrounding the 'container house' with a light gauge structure to provide an insulating layer and outer living space surrounding the interior rooms.
This "Low Cost House" gives new meaning to sustainable and social responsibility in design. JYA-RCHITECTS, the construction team of Ra Kwonsu, and the Korea Child Fund have worked together to offer a better life for another family in South Korea. The team offered a sustainable option to bridge the economic gap of the construction cost, and proved that sustainability can be affordable.

Sword and Scale Episode 84
Mass MurderBizarre
The Legend of Murder Ridge
In the town of Coschocton, Ohio teenage thrill seekers flock to a little place known as Murder Ridge. According to the legend, the ghost of a crazed serial killer named Cletus Reese roams the now rarely traveled byway of Route 36 in search of new victims who had the misfortune of crossing his path.
No one's quite sure how many people Cletus killed. Some say eight, others say as many as 20. Whether it was eight or it was 20, his number of victims doesn't really matter to the legend, all that matters is that their spirits continue to haunt the land where the Reese farm once stood. The land where Cletus Reese ate his victims, drank their blood and then buried them in a shallow grave, never to be heard from again.
There are whole books dedicated to the long forgotten and allegedly haunted places in Ohio. For anyone who has ever traveled through the Ohio countryside, you'll understand why. At night the landscape seems to mimic something out of a horror move. The lack of streetlights through the hilly back roads, peppered with dilapidated old farms and the glow from deer eyes peering out at you from the wooded areas makes many rural cities within the state a prime location for a good ghost story.
Most of these local legends turn out to be completely fabricated or based on stories that occurred in another location altogether, but the story of Cletus Reese is a little different. While you may not believe in serial killing ghosts and haunted old farmland, Cletus Reese really was a little known serial killer in the 1950s.
The real story of Cletus Reese and the legend of Murder Ridge began on June 2, 1954. A Fresno school teacher and part-time traveling car salesman named Clyde Patton had mysteriously disappeared while giving a customer a test drive. That customer was found to have been Cletus Reese and it wasn't long before authorities came knocking on the door of the Reese Farm, after Reese's sister reported that her brother had just pulled up in a brand new Hudson and sensed something was amiss.
Reese claimed that he had never encountered Mr. Patton, but police still arrested him and took him into custody for questioning while they further investigated the case. After a day of searching, detectives located the body of Clyde Patton buried in a shallow grave. A thick tree branch Reese had used to bludgeon him to death was also located within the area.
With a slam dunk murder case on their hands, authorities told Reese what they had found on his farm. Reese finally admitted to the murder, but claimed that he had gotten into a physical altercation with the man and that he had accidentally killed him.
Investigators and volunteers continued to search the Reese Farm. During their search they uncovered three more bodies, including one body identified as a Danville farmhand who had been reported missing seven months prior to his discovery on Reese's farm. Reese admitted to investigators that, "this had been going on for a long time." but refused to say any more than that.
The interrogation continued on until the next day when Cletus finally came clean about the murders, sort of. He rambled to authorities about a woman named "Mrs. Truman" who had ordered him to kill. He claimed that one of his victims was a soldier who he had quarreled with about politics and shot him down with a Smith and Wesson. Evidence showed to the contrary that none of his victims had been shot and all had displayed signs that they had been bludgeoned to death.
As the remains of Reese's victims continued to be identified, the past of Cletus Reese finally began to unravel. Paul Tish, the first of Cletus' victims, was a patient who had escaped the Cambridge State Hospital a year prior to his body's discovery. It would be the discovery of Tish that would provide investigators with a valuable clue into Cletus' past.
It was learned that several years prior to his arrest, Reese had also spent time in the Cambridge State Hospital. He complained of hearing voices and had displayed a number of other unusual behaviors linked to schizophrenia. After spending some time at the hospital, doctors agreed to allow Cletus to go home under the care of his family. His family thought that maybe Cletus had been cured and life could go back to normal. It wasn't long before his symptoms came back with a vengeance.
Paul Tish had fled the hospital and looked up his old friend Cletus for a place to stay. That decision would lead to his untimely demise. Other victims were found to have been visitors to the farm that he had picked off indiscriminately at the urging of "Mrs. Truman," the homicidal voice Cletus claimed was driving him to kill.
Cletus was bound over to the grand jury, but they couldn't find him guilty of the four first-degree murder charges he was facing. Instead he was ruled to have been suffering from schizophrenia with homicidal tendencies and was sent to live out the rest of his years at the now closed (and subsequently another popular haunt for ghost hunters) Lima State Hospital, where he would die in obscurity in 1966.
Though Cletus may have died 50 years ago, his legend lives on. Halloween night particularly is the night every teenager within the tri-county area flocks to the site known as Murder Ridge in hopes of seeing ghosts and to maybe become the next victim of the serial killing maniac known as Cletus Reese.

How connected consumers' desire for hands-on experience is driving a retail renaissance
By Shama Hyder. Published on June 24, 2019.
It's the end of retail as we know it -- at least, according to media reports the internet over.
Brick-and-mortar retailers like J.C. Penney, Macy's, Sears, Toys "R" Us and Mattress Firm have been facing declining sales for years, but in August of 2018, the closures hit a 10-year high, surpassing the number of closures that occurred during the Great Recession.
Despite these closures, there are some reasons to believe this retail apocalypse is actually being miscategorized. Of course, more people are spending their money online, but offline retail hasn't dropped off the map just yet. It's growing, just not as quickly as online retail.
"Stores may have a more important role to play in the U.S. retail ecosystem than we currently appreciate," said analyst Jay Sole. "E-commerce gains do not signal the 'death of stores.'"
Furthermore, a recent report claims we're actually in the midst of a retail renaissance that revolves around the customer experience, which primarily takes place in brick-and-mortar locations. Driving this renaissance are connected consumers who, by definition, are digitally native, yet highly hands-on.
To reach the connected consumer, retailers must first understand their inherent needs. Despite being digital natives, or at least tech-savvy, connected consumers crave "real-life" experiences to inform their purchase journey. In other words, their purchase journey isn't one-dimensional. Usually, it includes a lot of online research coupled with in-store experiences. Connected consumers inevitably choose to engage with brands that can go above and beyond the transactional experience, providing both personalization and connection.
They also seek out brands that integrate their digital shopping assistance technology into the built environment using interactive displays, voice-activated service and internet of things applications that allow the consumer to independently access high levels of support.
Let's take a look at some brands that are leading the charge in the retail renaissance.
Suitsupply is a menswear retailer that is marrying online and offline retail in an innovative new way with its personal styling subscription service, The Box Office. To start, The Box Office uses the consumer's online browsing and purchasing behavior to curate a selection of clothing to send them.
This offers the best of both shopping worlds to the connected consumer, allowing them to control their purchase experience while giving them the (literal) personal touch they desire.
This eyewear brand has always operated ahead of its time, providing connected consumers with not only a quality product but a custom, thoughtful experience backed by an authentic ethos.
In 2010, it changed the way people picked out glasses by implementing home try-on for people who couldn't -- or didn't want to -- make it into the retail store. Now, it's taking that experience to the next level with an augmented reality tool in its app, called Virtual Try-On, that allows you to virtually test drive every single one of Warby Parker's frames on your own face in real time. This could be a great way for Warby Parker to keep its finger on the pulse of its customers' ever-changing shopping habits.
"Increasingly, customers see bricks-and-mortar stores less as shopping destinations and more as the final step in a multipart transaction that begins online," said Michelle Tinsley, director of mobility and secure payments in the retail solutions division at Intel.
It would only make sense that one of the brands that connects best to digital natives is a digital native itself.
Apparel brand Everlane started online, but as it grew, the brand saw the benefit its customers could get from a physical location. A brick-and-mortar Everlane store gave connected consumers the opportunity to shop, of course, but more importantly, they could try things on, ensure a good fit and stop in for quick, easy returns and refunds.
How To Capitalize On The Retail Renaissance
So, what does success mean for physical brands in a digital world and vice versa? Creating a custom solution that works for their consumers and their brand.
For example, if you know that customers in your physical stores are searching your website during their shopping experience, you've just identified an opportunity to tie their online and offline experiences together more closely. Location-based coupons, or offers that activate only when a customer is near or inside one of your stores, are one potential option. So is interactive online store maps that help direct customers to products they're looking for.
If you're an online-only brand trying to create a more hands-on experience for your customers, consider how you can get your products into consumers' hands before they purchase.

Q: Spammer relaying via Postfix mail server I have a mail server (cm.snowbarre.co.za) on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS which forwards all SMTP traffic to an anti-spam server cacti.snowbarre.co.za. Many times I see the headers on the anti-spam server to contain from addresses not  hosted on the mail server and I have checked and confirmed that my server is not an open relay server.

A: Just because there's a line in the headers which looks as if an SMTP request from ml82.128.x.x.multilinksg.com is being relayed - that's not necessarily the truth.
If you've got an open web proxy or someone has ssh access to your network then they could easily be relaying these emails from elsewhere - the only difference is that the emails are not entering your network via SMTP.
(this may not be the case here - but checking it should be at the top of your list).


Global investment giant Allianz is stepping into the Canadian fixed-income ETF market.
With US$612-billion in assets, Allianz Global Investors will be subadvising the Evolve Active Global Fixed Income ETF. Evolve Funds Group Inc. filed a preliminary prospectus for the fund on Friday. Under the ticker EARN, and with a management fee of 0.65 per cent, the fund will invest primarily in global bonds of corporate issuers.
Allianz Global Investors is a subsidiary of Allianz SE, a Munich-based issuer who manages approximately US$2.2-trillion in assets. It is also the parent firm of Pacific Investment Management Co. LLC (Pimco).
"The opportunity to expand our presence in the Canadian market through this partnership with Evolve ETFs feels both well-timed and well-matched," David Newman, head of global high yield at Allianz Global Investors said in a statement. "While Evolve has deep knowledge of the Canadian ETF market that we have been looking to break into, AllianzGI brings decades of experience across credit markets, and a team that has been a pioneer of global fixed income."
Last year, 40 per cent of all Canadian fixed income ETF inflows were into active ETFs as fixed income securities continue to be a core component of investor portfolios. Last month, the Canadian ETF market hit $163-billion in assets under management with net inflows of $716-million – of which $652-million went directly into fixed income funds.
Allianz Global Investors manages US$36-billion in global fixed income (as of June 30).
EARN will be the first Canadian product the asset manager has chosen to subadvise, and will aim to generate positive returns throughout interest rate and economic cycles by allocating to different credit asset classes and also through bottom-up individual security selection.
Rival asset manager Pimco Canada Corp. entered the ETF market last year, launching two actively managed bond exchange-traded fund series. It is already the 10th largest Canadian ETF provider with $761-million in assets.
Despite Pimco and Allianz Global Investors both being owned by Allianz SE, the two sister companies operate as direct competitors in the fixed income space, steering Allianz to set up a partnership with a Canadian competitor.


Whether you have lived in a house for long enough to warrant an exterior renovation, or recently bought an older house with the expectation of conducting a remodel job, or simply found a great deal on an investment home which needs minor upgrades before selling at profit, there are times when you need to hire a building contractor. Exterior home renovation involves a few basic steps along with the knowledge an experienced contractor can provide toward making your house a boon rather than an eyesore for your neighbors.
Sometimes remodel jobs are conducted as an option to improve an already nice house which is relatively new, perhaps ten to fifteen years old. Other times, an older home may need renovations to accommodate modern appliances. It may be that you bought an older home because you appreciate the charm it provides and prefer the building styles of days past, but need some upgrades to allow for computers and a modern office. In other cases, you may have found a great bargain on an older house with the understanding it needs immediate repairs. In each case, there are usually a few common aspects of the home restoration which need to be addressed immediately before moving on to upgrades to a kitchen or bath which although needed, can be postponed if necessary.
Whether you live in an older home which needs exterior repairs, found a great deal on a home but don't especially like the exterior, or if you've decided over time you like another style better, you may at some point want to improve your home's exterior. You may consider rebuilding the entire exterior at once or simply replace a bit at a time. There are a few things to consider as to your options and what is available in today's market.

Carlisle Civic Centre
In December 2015, Storm Desmond brought significant flooding to parts of Cumbria causing damage to a huge number of properties. 11 buildings owned by Carlisle City Council were affected including, the Civic Centre in the heart of the City.
Having worked in the region for over 30 years from their base in Cockermouth, Tetra Tech was ideally placed to support the council in tackling the damage that Storm Desmond caused. Initially this was in an advisory role, assessing the size of the problem across all sites before project managing the refurbishment and remediation of the buildings to bring them back into operation.
As the most complex of the projects, the Civic Centre was the final element to be worked on, completing in 2022. A pivotal building for the city, our task was to design, procure and deliver a facility not only to reduce the risk of future flooding but also remodelled to provide a modern space which would benefit the local community. This included the demolition of the old chambers, an extension to the car park, a new customer contact centre and, new meeting rooms and office space.
Untangling a massive and complex heritage site
Taking into account the likelihood of flooding in the future the materials used in the lower floors facilitate a clean-up to be quickly mobilised so that the building can be made operational again at minimal cost and as soon as possible. Mechanical and electrical components were moved to higher spaces, again to protect them from water damage.
This project was a real collaborative effort from the teams at Tetra Tech bringing together the expertise of 10 different disciplines to help make it happen including, planning, health & safety, building surveying, mechanical & electrical engineering, structural engineering, civil engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, geospatial surveying and fire safety.
Darren Crossley, Deputy Chief Executive at Carlisle City Council commented 'The 2015 floods had a huge impact on communities in Carlisle and the Council faced the challenge of recovering nine of its most significant operational assets. Tetra Tech provided valuable support to the Council, creating a flood recovery framework for procuring redevelopment works and assisting the Council with the re-design and re-development of the Civic Centre. We now have a re-purposed property with some great new facilities. We are grateful to Tetra Tech for helping to make this happen.'
Craig Hatch, President, Tetra Tech commented 'There is an enormous amount of drive from our people to make a difference in the communities where we live and work and so for our regional teams this was more than just a project. We are proud to have played a part in the reinstatement and regeneration of these important buildings.

Going the Extra Mile – There's an Extraordinary Testing Program Behind Every Advanced Safety System
Ever run a marathon? Then you'll appreciate there's no substitute for putting in the hard miles (or kilometers) well before you take your place on the starting line.
Precisely the same principle applies when it comes to developing advanced safety systems. The process of testing technologies such as lane assist invariably means putting a lot of drive time on the clock.
So just how far do we go? Inevitably, the precise figure depends on the nature of the technology involved. However, it's not unusual for Aptiv to travel a million miles testing a new solution. What's more, as we move into the supremely challenging field of autonomous vehicles that number is rising inexorably.
But what's the rationale behind such an extraordinary testing regime? Surely, in an age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and virtual reality, we can find the answers we need without ever having to step beyond the confines of a well-equipped technical center.
There's no doubt, in the process of creating world-class products, we make full use of sophisticated lab technology. But we still need first-hand experience of everything that the real world is likely to present our systems. That means the technology needs to stand up to a lifecycle of 15 years and more.
Why? Well, to start with, consider the consequences of a system failure. The implications of autonomous emergency braking missing a potentially lethal threat are all too obvious. Equally, false alarms generated by systems, such as blind spot warning, would quickly erode confidence among drivers.
Now factor in the sheer number of variables that our systems must recognize and react to. The list is near-endless, but includes every conceivable weather condition, in daylight and night-time, through landscapes ranging from the urban jungle to vast and featureless deserts to multi-lane highways and winding country lanes.
Put simply, our solutions must respond to a vast array of challenges. For example, is the impending impact detected by our radar system the bumper of another vehicle or a rock thrown up by the car in front? What happens if snow builds up on that radar? Can we confirm the system is working correctly? In an urban environment, there will be plenty of buildings, street signs and similar objects to provide a positive reaction to the radar. In the rural countryside, it's a completely different story. Here there could be next-to-nothing to reflect energy back; nothing to demonstrate the radar is functioning as it should.
Clearly, every one of those miles covered in testing is invaluable. But the learning process doesn't stop there. After all, we first supplied a radar-based system back in 1999. Over the past 30 years, the number of miles our technologies have covered run into the billions, all of which further contribute to the reserves of experience and expertise.
Even for a veteran marathon runner, waiting for the start gun can be a nerve-wracking experience. Reassurance comes from knowing that, in the weeks and months preceding, you've stuck to the training plan. No matter how many miles it takes, we're ultimately aiming for a similar destination: absolute confidence that, whatever the circumstances, our systems will always do the right thing, in the right place and at the right time.

Trichy: BHELSIA, the association formed by suppliers and outsourcing vendors of Trichy's Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is one of the leading trade forums in the city. While close to 65% of the procurement by BHEL is happening from Trichy, the association makes a strong impact, reflecting the voices of entities supplying to BHEL. The latest trend among BHELSIA's members is to turn independent and not depend purely on orders from BHEL.
While speaking to CMR, Ashok Sundaresan, president of the association calls this a positive approach towards business. "We are getting newer investments in Trichy both from private and government bodies such as the proposed defense corridor or smart city project, etc. While the job is the same, why we should depend only on the PSU when we can get multiple opportunities outside?", Sundaresan asks. He also feels that even if there is some delay in the projects or payments from BHEL, their day-to-day livelihood will not be affected.
The current strength of the forum is more than 480 business owners ranging from turnovers between 10 lakhs and 3 crores. The members fall into two categories- enterprises who do only job work and companies who do end-to-end projects. The companies involved in job work won't need to invest on raw materials as everything would be provided by BHEL, while companies involved in end-to-end projects will have to execute everything end-to-end right from procurement, design, and execution. According to Sundaresan, there are 200 companies with the financial stability to handle end-to-end projects.
The association regularly conducts training sessions, seminars and other activities related to HR, taxation and new trends in the machinery. Speaking on the up-gradation of the members, Sundaresan feels, "We constantly conduct activities that enhance the skills of our members and their employees. We get our members exposed to the latest machines. Also, the entire tender process in BHEL is computerized. Obviously, even if it is a small tender, our members should be tech-savvy to win tenders." He also feels the members have made significant investments in technology through deploying the latest computers and had even installed ERP systems in their organizations based on their financial strength.
One of the flagship achievements of BHELSIA is creation of a not-for-profit organization for storing their RAW materials named 'BRAMAS'. "We have many members and everyone will get raw materials of different sizes. While everything comes to Trichy, we created our own material bank which will act as a common procurement center to get better rates" says Sundaresan calling it as a successful project. He also says that such mass procurement helps not only in price factors but also addressed the challenges in logistics, further cutting down the time of the projects.
The key challenge that the association is looking for immediate attention to is their tender process. Even though technology-wise, their tender process is advanced, but there are some aspects which they need to work on. "What we expect is to make it more transparent to avoid under-quoting. The current policy in many aspects which does not disclose the tender-price will give room for under-quoting." feels Sundaresan. He also feels that BHEL should follow the footsteps of other government entities like Indian Railways or Indian Oil Corporation when it comes to tender process. "If Railways can fix a bandwidth where the price is between two price points, calling it a budgetary tender, why can't BHEL adopt it?", Sundaresan questions further adding that BHEL is also reluctant to take strong action against companies who accept the order but fail to deliver. "There are companies who want to file IPO. They accept the tender only for that reason, but never execute the order. As per the rules, BHEL has to take legal action against such companies but is failing to do so.", Sundaresan feels and says that the forum is planning to take up this issue in better way legally. "Because of such companies, BHEL is unable to meet their promised timeline towards their clients and end up paying fines. If the tender price is regulated, many issues will be addressed", he says. Thanking the Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for resolving almost all the concerns of the SMEs in Trichy during her tenure in Commerce Ministry, Sundaresan says she got transferred to Ministry of Defense before the tender-related issue could be addressed.

Late night TV ratings on the flush!
Late Night Ratings Are On The Decline, And It's No Mystery Why!
Between late night show host's Stephen Colbert and "America's Conscience" Jimmy Kimmel, what should be a light hearted way to end the day with funny celebrity stories, and awkward zoo animal interactions has become a politically partisan hour of finger wagging and agenda promotion.
And like the declining ratings from the NFL, and Hollywood award shows before it, late night television shows are beginning to see a decline in viewership.
From Philip Wegmann at the Washington Examiner comments about Federalist Founder Ben Domenech's discoveries on late night ratings:
While America was laughing at Twitter and watching YouTube videos, late night was slipping. Writing in the Transom, Ben Domenech of The Federalist points out that the late-night viewership of ABC, CBS, plus NBC this week barely broke 8 million viewers. Not long ago retired NBC funnyman Jay Leno was bringing in 6 million viewers all on his own
Wegmann rightfully points out that this serious decline in viewership may be attributed to younger audiences tuning out on the TV, and choosing instead to view the pertinent clips of the show on Facebook or YouTube. However, the numbers are even more troubling when you look at ratings for shows where the purpose isn't entertainment, but is actually there for political commentary.
But compare the late-night comedy numbers to Sean Hannity over at Fox News and Rachel Maddow at MSNBC. Those hacks don't tell jokes (at least not well, anyway) but they still bring in more views. Domenech points out that Hannity averaged 3.5 million viewers, Maddow another 2.65 million last week. (Granted, these shows air before 11 p.m.)
While different factors may play a part in audience viewership, such as time or technology, one reoccurring pattern continues to be seen. The more something meant for entertainment becomes political, the more people tune out.

Safety report shows Uber crime incidents are rare despite string of robberies in Baltimore
By Jessica Albert
Ride-share crimes in Baltimore have sparked new concerns 02:34
BALTIMORE -- Police in Baltimore County and Baltimore City continue to investigate a string of robberies involving Uber drivers.
WJZ did some digging and took a look at a safety report put out by Uber that shows safety incidents are rare for those using the service.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, there were three incidents of people being robbed—and even abducted by Uber drivers. Two were in Baltimore City, and a third was in Baltimore County.
Investigators said in each incident the riders used Uber to call a driver, and when the driver showed up, they ended up getting robbed.
Police told WJZ they're investigating the incidents and have not released whether they are related.
The impact of Uber-related robberies 00:23
"It's just very disheartening," a Uber driver told WJZ.
After hearing about these incidents, the Uber driver, who didn't want to be identified, said he is worried about the influx in crimes involving the ride-share company.
"If that happens, then people like me that are working for a company or whatever, people are going to be less likely to take rides," the driver said.
WJZ went online and took a look at Uber's safety report.
The most recent one is from 2019 and 2020.
The report said 99.9 percent of all trips taken in those years across the US ended without any sort of safety incident.
Uber sent WJZ a statement Monday saying the incidents occurring in Baltimore are deeply concerning, that they're working with our local police and that safety is paramount.
They also gave WJZ a list of ways riders can protect themselves if they feel unsafe during a ride, which includes an emergency button in the app.
The Uber driver said they have to pass a background check to work for the service, but believes that may not be enough.
"I mean, pretty much, anyone with a pulse and a car and a valid driver's license is working for Uber," the driver said.

Neighbor drops complaints against Parkton family assessed with $5,000 in fines for rooster
BALTIMORE -- A Baltimore County resident has dropped a complaint they made against a Parkton family with a crowing rooster.That means the Tanenbaum family will get to keep Wilbur the Rooster.Last week, WJZ reported that a neighbor's complaints resulted in nearly $5,000 in fines because of the rooster's crowing.The Tanenbaum family was supposed to go in front of the Animal Services Board in February.Their complaints were taken to the county, which resulted in a $150 fine for the Tanenbaums. But then another came in, with a $4,650 price tag."The amount is outrageous. It's been very stressful, knowing that we could continue to be assessed $150 each time the rooster crows," Jackie said.The family started a change.org petition to build a case for Wilbur which got more than 20,000 signatures.

New report sheds light on Baltimore County Public Schools ransomware attack
BALTIMORE — The Maryland Inspector General's Office has released its findings more than two years after a ransomware cyberattack forced Baltimore County Public Schools to shut down district-wide. A new 6-page report provides a clearer picture of what happened on that day. The incident, which began with an email being mistakenly opened by a staff member, will cost the school system nearly 10 million dollars to recover from.According to the report issued by the Inspector General for Education, the attack originated from an unsolicited phishing attachment addressed to an Education Professional. Despite being unable to open the attachment, an attempt to investigate the suspicious email by a BCPS security contractor misfired, as they opened the email with the attachment using their unsecured BCPS email domain account, thus delivering undetected malware into the BCPS IT network. This resulted in potential data vulnerabilities, during a surge of online learning activities due to the pandemic. In response, the Teacher's Association of Baltimore County has taken swift action.

How Engagement Can Add Up
by Brian , Gregory Wilson , October 1, 2007
It's curious, at least to me, that the dialogue around the concept of "engagement" remains focused primarily on media. Most of the talk you hear today is about how engagement can be enhanced through pod position, time of day, type of program, etc.
And while these are all pertinent to the discussion, it seems to be counterproductive to be talking about engagement while ignoring two equally important components of it: viewer intent. And, the creative itself.
On most digital platforms engagement appears to be a sum game, requiring three very distinct components for it to be able to exist at all. These three components are exposure to the message, viewer control of the message, and involvement in the message itself.
Exposure to the message obviously needs to occur first. While a forced exposure -- pre-roll or in-stream on digital platforms --will certainly guarantee more eyeballs to the message, whether it delivers engagement or entrapment is open to debate.
For engagement to be measured, it's the viewer's intent, not the advertiser's intent,
that's most important. To measure viewer intent, viewers need the ability to avoid
commercials that they don't want to watch, as well as access those that they do.
Giving the viewer this control allows their intent to become explicit, and therefore, measurable.
Once the viewer is in control, view duration of the message depends on the message itself: How it's crafted. The selling proposition. What it says. The entertainment value.
Most advertisers, of course, would like viewers to watch the entire message. After all, if an advertiser spends the money to produce say, a 60-second spot, they must assume that all 60-seconds ads are valuable. Otherwise, they would have produced something shorter.
As each second costs the same to produce, the longer that viewers are involved in a commercial, the better the cost/value for the advertiser.
Add up these three components -- exposure, intent and involvement -- and the equation looks something like this: Engagement = Exposure + Intent + Involvement
What's interesting about this equation is that each of the three components is provided by a different entity.
Exposure is provided by the programmer, bought and paid for through a media agency.
Intent is provided through the control that the platform operator gives the viewer.
As for involvement, it will, or will not occur mostly due to the efforts of the creative agency that crafts the commercial.
Separating the responsibility for each of the components also allows us to separate the accountability for each component.
In this equation, programmers are not responsible for involvement, the creative agencies are. Platform operators are not accountable for exposure or impressions. That's the programmer's responsibility, to create the type of content that draws viewers.
What platform operators are responsible for is giving control to the viewer so that intent can be measured. Viewer intent becomes the pivot point that triggers the transference of accountability from the programmer to the creative agency.
If accountability can be transferred from programmer to creative agency, then advertisers will be able to pay each for what they are responsible for. And, in turn, pay the platform operators for giving them the ability to achieve this.
Dividing engagement into three separate components allows the responsibility for engagement to be properly assigned. And once responsibility is assigned, the financial models can, and will, follow.
Which offers this new math of engagement a chance to add up in more ways than one.

GREGORY WILSON,

Q: Determine and do stuff in foreach loop except the last iteration I am looping a foreach and i need to make some logic like this:
if the iteration is not the last. Gather up the prices. when the iteration is the last. subtract from the total with the gathered up prices. except the last iteration price. I got the following code not. but it's not working.
    $i = 0;
    $credit = '';
    $count = count($reslist);

    foreach ($reslist as $single_reservation) {
            //All of the transactions to be settled by course
            //$credit             = $this->Reservations_model->find_res_price($single_reservation['value']) * $this->input->post('currency_value');

            if ($i > $count && $single_reservation != end($reslist)) {
                $gather_sum_in_czk += $this->Reservations_model->find_res_price($single_reservation['value']) * $this->input->post('currency_value');
                $credit             = $this->Reservations_model->find_res_price($single_reservation['value']) * $this->input->post('currency_value');
            }
            //Last iteration need to subtract gathered up sum with total.
            else {
                $credit = $suminczk - $gather_sum_in_czk;
            }
    $i++;
    }

EDIT: TRYING TO GATHER UP PRICES FOR ALL INTERACTIONS EXECPT LAST:
          if ($i != $count - 1 || $i !== $count - 1) {
                $gather_sum_in_czk += $this->Reservations_model->find_res_price($single_reservation['value']) * $this->input->post('currency_value');
                $credit             = $this->Reservations_model->find_res_price($single_reservation['value']) * $this->input->post('currency_value');
            }

            else {
                $credit = $suminczk - $gather_sum_in_czk;
            }

A: The SPL CachingIterator is always one element behind its inner iterator. It can therefore report whether it will produce a next element via ->hasNext().
For the example I'm choosing a generator to demonstrate that this approach doesn't rely on any additional data like e.g. count($array).
<?php
// see http://docs.php.net/CachingIterator
//$cacheit = new CachingIterator( new ArrayIterator( range(1,10) ) );
$cacheit = new CachingIterator( gen_data() );

$sum = 0;
foreach($cacheit as $v) {
    if($cacheit->hasNext()) {
        $sum+= $v;
    }
    else {
        // ...and another operation for the last iteration
        $sum-=$v;
    }
}

echo $sum; // 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9-10 = 35

// see http://docs.php.net/generators
function gen_data() {
    foreach( range(1,10) as $v ) {
        yield $v;
    }
}

A: foreach-ing an array in PHP returns both the key (integer index if pure array) and value. To be able to use the value, use the following construct:
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
...
}

then you can check whether $key >= count($array) - 1 (remember in a 0-based array, the last element is count($array) - 1.
Your original code almost works, just wrong in the if condition. Use $i >= $count - 1 instead of $i > $count.
