Brendan Sokler attended WWN&EVOLVE Pro Wrestling present EVOLVE 99 out in Brooklyn. Well what is WWN? Is that the same thing as WWE? Short answer is no. WWN Is the World Wrestling Network a network of independent professional wrestling promotions under one umbrella with EVOLVE being the flagship promotion of that network. While EVOLVE is not WWE they do have a relationship. Over their 99 shows so far you can see many current WWE superstars having graced an EVOLVE ring including: Daniel Bryan, Cedric Alexander, Drew Gulak, and so many more.
Speaking of Evolve 99 we caught up with a wrestler with a ceiling that is SO High...How high? Yehi. Fred Yehi to be exact coming off a difficult battle with Timothy Thatcher. Yehi is one of the hottest prospect on the independent scene and we have an exclusive scoop with him here at FanBolt!

Q: What is a good strategy for Reave? I cannot find any good uses for Reave. From what I understand, it absorbs a little health and weakens them (and while they are weakened, I get a little bit of extra defense).
But it does not work on many things it seems, like Geth Prime. Normally when it hits, it gives me a glowing aura that represents my extra defense. But when I use it on say Geth Prime, nothing happens.

A: It's very good for spamming biotic detonations with another biotic, for several reasons:

*

*It has no travel time, so enemies can't dodge it.

*It can affect multiple targets, setting up multiple detonation opportunities.

*It works as both "set up" and "trigger", unlike e.g. Pull which can only initiate a combo, or Throw which can only work as the "trigger".

It's also good on its own against organic targets, but less useful against synthetics, since you only get the extra defense when it's used against organics.

A: As a Drell Adept, it is devastating when you use it to set up explosions triggered by Cluster Grenade.
Cast Reave first, then bounce Cluster Grenades on the floor in between you and a target. This will take out a Brute in one shot on Bronze, and, if executed correctly, will take a third to half off of a Prime/Banshee/Atlas on Gold.
As a Justicar, you can cast your Bubble in a choke point, and take the Warp upgrade. Then cast Reave on anything that walks through the Bubble, setting off explosions.
Plus everything that Hammar said too.

A: It's a fantastic ability when used for setting up/setting off biotic explosions.
Let's take a Drell Adept in multiplayer for example:
Lesser enemies with no shields or shields down: Use Pull to render them helpless, them Reave to detonate.
Larger enemies/bosses: use Reave on them, them throw some cluster grenades to detonate.
Biotic detonations are extremely powerful and unlike some abilities like pull where it works only on unshielded targets, you can throw a Reave on anything, including shields, barriers and armour.
Lots of abilities detonates Reave: warp, throw, cluster grenades, shockwave, biotic sphere, charge and lift & slam in single player.
In multiplayer, if you see other biotics, you can help the team by basically spamming Reave on everything. Assuming your team mates knows what to do, they should be detonating  after your reave. Makes short work of everything.
My reply is only specific to Reave, but there are lots of other combos that you can pull off.
Relix28 created a very comprehensive list of all possible combos here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/9629730
Just came out from a gold game with someone spamming reave and another spamming overload.  I was an Asari adept and spammed throw, an ability that sets off both biotic detonations with reave and tech bursts with overload. Absolute fun, fireworks and destruction. =)

Love Hurts in Lanthimos's Daring 'The Lobster,' but It Beats the Alternative
by Michael Nordine
Courtesty of A24
Even by the standards of Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster's premise is a doozy: Colin Farrell plays a recently single schlub forced to report to the Hotel, where he has 45 days to form a romantic relationship lest he be turned into an animal of his choosing.
This is the plight of all singletons in The Lobster's world, as David's dog, once his brother, would tell you if he were still capable of speech. "Lobsters can live for over a hundred years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives" is David's answer when he's asked why he opted for the crustacean in question. He's commended for his decision by the Hotel Manager (Olivia Colman) — most people pick dogs, she explains, which is why there are so many; endangered species are at risk because so few choose them.
Like everyone, she speaks in a disinterested deadpan, as though reading encyclopedia entries to a small child. The Lobster is Lanthimos's first English-language film — Kinetta, Dogtooth, and Alps were all in his native Greek — but no aspect of his sensibility has been lost in translation. Rather, everything that made his prior works so distinctive and alarmingly entertaining is even more fully realized here: This isn't a sterile dystopia, but the clearest expression yet of the ascendant filmmaker's outré worldview.
Lanthimos's consistently hilarious, borderline anti-humor slowly gives way to a romantic streak of surprising warmth. In her most transfixing performance since The Deep Blue Sea, Rachel Weisz serves as both dispassionate narrator and eventual love interest, her quiet voiceover accompanied by a lachrymose string section that lends the film its most overt emotional cues.

Threads Report: The Fox NFL Sunday Crew
At The Players' Tribune, we know it's not just what you wear on the field, but what you wear off of it — or in this case, on and off the set.In the latestThreads Report, four members of theFox NFL Sundaystudio team — Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw, Jay Glazer and Curt Menefee — show how they express their personal styles both on and off the set, anchored by their on-set attire, designed by Michael Strahan.
Aim for Timelessness
When I see a picture of myself in 15 years, I don't want to say, "What the hell was I thinking?" I learned that from pictures in high school of me wearing shorts that were "basketball" short. Or when I got my first contract and started buying purple or yellow suits. Who wears that? I see pictures of me in shirts with purple, brown, yellow, blue — all these colors. It looked like somebody ate a smorgasbord, then had an accident on the shirt.
My style is sensible, classic and modern. It's about being yourself, but doing it so that you can look back and respect yourself and the decisions you made.
I'm not afraid of not blending in. I mean, walking around my whole 44 years with this gap in my teeth, you gotta be pretty confident. That's the great thing about fashion: You're allowed to be different. You're allowed to wear whatever the heck you want and create your own look. There are no boundaries or limits to what you can do.
Detail in Design
I love design. I love the shape and size of the lapels. I love the buttons. I love the fabrics. How it fits, and all the little details.
In a lot of ways, I think about my father. Sometimes I'll look at something and say, "I can't see my dad wearing that. He wouldn't wear that." And if I feel like I can't put a family member in it, I'm not gonna put somebody else in it.
I'm a watch fanatic. Hublot. Audemars. Panerai. Whatever your mood is can be displayed by your watch. If you're feeling really smooth about yourself, like James Bond, maybe you want a streamlined watch, something sexier. If you're doing something that's rugged, you wear a watch that's a little stronger, that can take a beating.
I'm not a guy who's necessarily going to have rims on a car or gold chains around my neck, but with a watch, I get these custom straps from Horus, a buddy of mine's company. It adds a little bit of swag. A lot of people have a watch, so you can add your own personality.
I don't wear a pocket square on set because the all other guys do. That's the reason. Just to be different. I want to stand out a little bit. Everybody notices. The first time somebody said, "Why doesn't he wear a pocket square," my defiant side said, "Now I'll never wear one!"
And if everybody else didn't wear a pocket square, I would. Away from the set, I wear a pocket square all the time. I'm not anti-pocket square. It's just about being different.
Sometimes, I'll go to GMA, and right before, I have to work out. I won't have time to go home in between, and even though I change into a suit, I can't go show up there looking like a bum. They might not let me in the door. So I wear these pants that look like I could wear them to lunch or the gym. You can't tell the difference. I play golf in pants that look like slacks, but really, they're stretchy fiber workout-type pants.
Athleisure has come a long way. It's like, Why didn't somebody think of this before?
On the Guys Wearing His Clothing Line on the Show
At first, I was nervous, but not anymore. They absolutely love it, and I'm proud and honored by it.
Glazer always says, "It's the best suit I've ever had." His look has turned into slacks with one of the dress shirts, a tie and a vest over it. He thinks it makes him look slim. (It ain't happening!)
I started wearing suspenders on the set because battery packs are so heavy and I got tired of pulling up my pants. So I went with the suspenders, and I like them. They're just really easy. Now I wear suspenders with all of my suits, slacks and sport-coat combinations. I clip them on at home, too. Stick them on my blue jeans and strap them over my t-shirt.
I love orange ties and blue ties. Purple, too. So many people talk about my ties. When I speak at an event, I wear bright ties with my suits, and I get tons of compliments. People ask why, and my answer's always been, "I like happy ties." I don't like a subdued, low key, business, CEO look.
My wife and I, our house is a happy house with happy colors and even happy furniture. It's bright and makes you feel good. My ties do, too.
I wear my Louisiana Tech class ring every day. It's gorgeous. Simple. People are a little curious when they see it, and always ask if it's a Super Bowl ring. I'm proud of those, don't get me wrong, but I love my university. I would see people wearing Naval Academy rings, military rings, Harvard rings, and just think, "Gosh, those are really pretty." They're kind of understated and don't draw your eye.
The Super Bowl rings of my era were a little cleaner, a little smaller. Now they're just like, "Let's see how gaudy we can get!" Did you see our new Hall of Fame ring? It's huge. It's a weapon.
Personal Style: SlobI hate tucking my shirt in. The only time I tuck a shirt in is when I'm on this show. Even when I speak at an event, if it says "business casual," that means no tie, and I can pull my shirt tail out.I'm a bum. I'm seriously sloppy. I wear flip flops on the ranch. (I'm very careful around the animals.) But no one has ever complained about the way I dress, and maybe it's because I'm a celebrity. Don't take this the wrong way, but celebrities can dress kind of dumpy and we're seen as "creatives."I went to a restaurant in L.A., and I had on black warmup pants. Cotton! With holes in them! Plus, tennis shoes, and a blue t-shirt with an orange-ish suede, rawhide-looking jacket over it. My wife says, "Just don't say anything to anybody about it."So what did I say, right off the bat?"Look, I want to apologize. I don't have slacks on.""Mr. Bradshaw, please. Come on in."You get away with murder.
I'm built like a little white Mike Tyson. I'm 5'7", 210. I've got a 33-inch waist and wear like a 48 or 50 short in a suit. So that's beyond bizarre, and I can't take anything off the rack. I used to be too lazy or busy to get everything hemmed and tailored. But it's nice that I have this job that gets things tailored for me, because doing everything myself would get expensive.
I hope this thing I have going lasts a while, because if not, I'm screwed.
I was just doing t-shirt and jeans all the time, because when I tried nicer stuff, I didn't like how I looked. Now I'll wear a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and then one of Stray's vests. Nobody looks at me now and thinks I'm fat because the dress shirt looks boxy and I have a round face. It clarifies things. Look, if you're going to work out as hard as I do, you might as well get credit for it.
So I'm still a t-shirt and jeans guy, but I've gone "vest." Big time.
Stray is my brother, you know? So when I found out we'd be wearing his clothes, I was hoping to mess with him like crazy on it. Just destroy him. Part of me was definitely hoping this line would be complete crap, like a Kangol and fat shoelaces, just so I could kill him on it. But you know what? I friggin' love it. I told him, "You know what, dude, I'm making this part of my style."
And he's laughing at me.
"You're really making this your style?"
"As much as it pains me, I am. I love it."
"I'm glad. I can get you a discount."
Hublot Watch and #22KILL Ring
I've never really been a watch guy, but at times in life when I've done something huge or that I'm really proud of, I'll buy one as a way of marking that moment. My first was a $2,000 Cartier when I got my first full-time job after like 12 years of working on my own. I went up to Truckee, California to train with Brian Urlacher, and left it there. He said, "Don't worry about it. I'll put it in my bag." Which he did, but he went home his bag got boxed up because he was moving. So right now that watch is somewhere in an attic at Urlacher's palatial farm estate.
When I launched my foundation — MVP, for Merging Vets and Players — where I take former NFL players who are struggling and match them with combat veterans who are struggling, I couldn't have been more proud and passionate. To mark that moment, I bought a Hublot with red, white and blue in it. I almost always wear a ring on my right pointer finger, for a cause called #22KILL, for the 22 vets a day who commit suicide. It's just something I wear to raise awareness of that.
Back in the days when I was covering the Giants for like $9,400 a year, I used to wear a friggin' duster and ride around on my $1,000 motorcycle like I was Mad Max. The bike was all I could afford to go back and forth to the stadium, but that was the dumbest style in the history of life. It would be January and I looked like the guy from Dumb and Dumber with frozen snot on my face.
And we had this horrible Affliction craze in the fight game. I actually signed a deal with them for a little bit, and regret that entire part of my career, no doubt. I wish Affliction and Ed Hardy would have fought themselves, and we never would have worn it. It's terrible.
Host Style …
I live in Southern California, and I'm in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops every single day of my life (that I can get away with it). On set, it's a 180. You want to have a little bit of style, a little bit of flair, but you have to be careful. If you try a tie bar that draws attention away from you, or an outrageous tie or suit, people aren't paying attention to what you say. They're thinking, Wow, what the hell is he wearing?
… and Host Tailoring
I'm a big guy, so the whole key is to try and accentuate the positive and lowlight the negative. I have very broad shoulders, so I make sure the fit is good there, and then the waist is made as small as possible. Then with the pants, I've always had bigger thighs and quads, even as a kid. So those have to be tapered properly as well, otherwise they'll be big and comfortable on the thigh, but lower on the leg, they flap around.
Then there are the little things. How a suit fits when I'm sitting down. I'm at a desk a lot, and I move my hands a lot, too. So my suit jacket sleeves are a little bit longer than what people would wear to the office. I need that space so when I sit down and bend my elbows, the sleeve doesn't pull halfway up my wrist.
I don't do skinny ties. I don't adjust the lapels a lot. As far as cuts go, and ties, I'm pretty standard and basic. Where I get my visual interest in mixing colors and patterns.
I don't know if it's because of his eyes, his hair, his warm heart — whatever it is — a bright, light green color is fantastic on Jimmy Johnson. It does not work for me. So everyone's different. I don't know if it's the aura you carry, the smile on your face, or what, but there are just certain colors that work for certain people that don't work for others.
Piaget and Rolex Watches
I have a Piaget watch that I wear most of the time, but I do have a classic Rolex my wife bought me that I'll wear on air at times of special meaning to us. We met in October, so I'll wear it during that week we met. Something that's a sign to her, that nobody else knows. Something personal to us.
Vests Gone Wrong
I spent three years in Dallas, and the station I worked for often allowed me to wear a collared shirt and a colorful vest instead of a tie. And that vest became my "thing." I always had these bright, flowery vests with different patterns and all kinds of weird stuff. It worked in Dallas. But when I went to New York, I remember the general manager saying, "I don't think you should wear those." But it was my "thing." I liked them. I wore them for two or three weeks, and got ravaged over it.
And the colorful vests suddenly disappeared.

In ASP.NET if we want to show autocomplete suggestion in a textbox (e.g: In Google when we start typing something it shows us a list of suggestion depending on the words / letters we have typed), then we can use AjaxControl Toolkit's AutoComplete Extender.
Generally AutoComplete Extender does an Ajax call to ASP.NET Webmethod and gets the result / suggestion. In the process of making an Ajax call and getting response if we want to show a progress indicator inside the textbox then how we can do that?
OnClientPopulating event handler will be called when the Ajax call to the WebMethod is made.
OnClientPopulated event handler will be called when the suggestion list is populated.
OnClientHidden event handler will be called when the the suggestion list becomes invisible / hidden.
So we will show a loading image when the Ajax call is instansiated and will hide the image when the suggestion list is populated or when the suggestion list is made hidden (if no items are found for suggestion).
var textboxControl = $(source.get_element()); // Get the textbox control.
textboxControl.css('background', '#FFF url(Images/textbox-loader.gif) no-repeat right'); // Put a background image for the textbox.
textboxControl.css('background-image', 'none'); // Remove background image from the textbox.

Apple announces an app platform for Apple TV, potentially big for news outlets investing in video
There's lots of news video being produced, and a lot of it isn't reaching big-enough audiences. An open app platform will let digital news publishers play with the big guys.
By Joshua Benton @jbenton Sept. 9, 2015, 2:59 p.m.
For news organizations, this was the most important set of Apple announcements in years
It's early September, which means it's time for a new round of Apple announcements. Today's round didn't feature any update on Apple News, which is set to debut this month, but it did feature big news about the Apple TV, which I suspect will become a significant driver of news video views. Here's what publishers and journalists need to know about today's announcements — in declining order, based on how important I think they'll be for news outlets.
A new Apple TV, with an open app platform
"We believe the future of television is apps," Apple CEO Tim Cook said, and you can understand why the app company would think that. Netflix, HBO Go and Now, Hulu, and others (like on-demand services before them) have trained TV watchers to think of apps as a content source. (Over 60 percent of pay-TV streaming video is consumed on an Apple device, he said.) So the new Apple TV includes a full app store — which means publishers will be able to publish video directly to it.
Apps will be built with the new tvOS, which like watchOS builds on what developers are used to in iOS. (I should note that Apple's playing catchup to some other platforms here. Basic games like Crossy Road and custom app UIs are already available on devices like the Amazon Fire TV. But the processor power and sophistication and variety of apps are substantially higher here.)
Apple is also pushing Siri's voice recognition as a search tool, but at launch, it will only search a few content providers (Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Netflix, and its own iTunes). Eddy Cue promised more sources will be added over time, but the phrasing makes me think that'll be done through business deals rather than opening it up to all apps. That's a shame, since it'll likely keep most news publishers out.
Siri was also shown answering basic news and information questions while you watch a show — sports scores and weather. ("How did the Giants do yesterday? What's the weather in Juneau?") There was no indication that developers would have access to that sort of in-show interaction, but you can imagine uses for breaking news and other journalistic purposes. But that's still a ways off.
I'm strange — I actually watch a decent amount of TV news through my Apple TV. Far more than I watch through any other method. I watch Wall Street Journal video through WSJ Live, old news clips through the ABC News app, 60 Minutes segments on CBS News, New York Times and Onion videos through Yahoo Screen, Wired videos through The Stream, highlights and games through WatchESPN and At Bat, and Frontline through PBS. With a 1-year-old at home, I'm up at odd hours, and flipping through news videos helps fill some dead time.
With that context, the new Apple TV — and the platform it will enable — is legit exciting. It will get me to watch a lot more news videos. Given the trouble many publishers have had getting eyeballs to their videos, that's good news. My question is how unusual my habits are — whether making a very good Netflix/HBO Now/Hulu box and a pretty darned good gaming platform will direct any appreciable attention toward news. (And the related question: whether those positive qualities will be enough to get people buying a $149/$199 box when there are Chromecasts and Rokus and Fire TV Sticks at a third of that price.) Still, if I ran a major media company, this is an area I'd be directing developer resources.
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, opening new interface possibilities
How strange is it to have the iPhone — generator of two-thirds of Apple's revenue — relegated to the final half-hour of a two-hour keynote? Sure, it's the "S" year, when the outward appearance is left unchanged and many of the upgrades are internal and hard to see. But still!
3D Touch — Apple's new force-detecting sensors, debuted in the Watch earlier this year — is going to be a UX playground for developers. I can imagine news apps where tapping a headline pulls up the full story, but a quick press-and-hold pulls up a brief news summary, or an options-and-sharing panel, or background or contextual information. The twin pillars of headline-and-story have defined most mobile interactions with news; 3D Touch will push new forms and shapes. People will do great stuff with it, assuming it works well. (I worry a bit about how good a job it'll do distinguishing between different kinds of presses; my Apple Watch and MacBook Pro are a little less than perfect on that.)
Beyond that, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are mostly just more powerful than their predecessors. The camera's better; the processor is faster. That'll help lead to even more time we all spend looking at our phones, but that's more an amplification of existing trends than the start of a new one.
The iPad Pro, soon to be spotted in newsrooms
The iPad — once the driver of publisher dreams — has been in a slow drift downward for a few years: still selling decent numbers, but shrinking a bit each quarter. Plenty of people use their tablets for little more than streaming videos, and for that purpose, there's no reason to pay Apple's price premium.
The new iPad Pro, unveiled today, aims to justify that by making the iPad more of a laptop replacement. A larger screen and faster processor allows for easier multitasking and more powerful tools; the new Smart Keyboard aims to make modern information work less of a chore; the Apple Pencil looks like it could be useful for casual note taking. As a result, I suspect the iPad Pro will be appealing to journalists — a higher-polish version of Microsoft's Surface. (The first piece of content showed off in Phil Schiller's iPad Pro presentation was an Apple News story from Wired.)
Go @wired! Our story displayed on stage on ipad pro! #AppleEvent http://t.co/FLG2ASfKue @kathleencodes @whyisjake pic.twitter.com/X2ZEDTfBV4
— Hayley Nelson (@hayley_nelson) September 9, 2015
Still, at $799 to $1,079 (plus another $268 for the keyboard and stylus!), I doubt it'll move units at a significant enough scale to increase tablets' share of the news audience. It seems like a smart strategy for the iPad to target enterprise customers, but one that probably won't move publishers' needles — or stem the shift to smartphones.
The Apple Watch, with faster, more powerful apps
Cook gave a brief update on its newest major product line (though without revealing any sales numbers), while also talking more about watchOS 2, first unveiled a few months ago. The big news with the new OS is allowing native watch apps, which run on the device rather than on the attached iPhone. That should speed up launch times for news apps, which have been rather abysmal. (No one wants to hold their wrist up in Dick Tracy position for 15 seconds while a few headlines load.)
Apple's Jeff Williams also showed off the new availability third-party "complications" — little info nuggets that appear on the watch face — and highlighted the potential for news companies. (The example given: a CNN headline.) That'll be good for the few national and global brands that will be able to reach a scale among Apple Watch users worth the bother. For most news organizations, though, active Watch development is still a reasonable skip.

UNICEF deploying emergency response staff to support 4,000 children displaced by the fire in Moria refugee camp
UNICEF expresses its deepest sympathy for the refugees and migrants affected by the fire in Moria camp and stands ready to help address the urgent needs of more than 4,000 children, particularly 407 extremely vulnerable unaccompanied minors.
Nearly 12,000 people have been displaced by the fire which destroyed almost the entire Reception and Identification Center (RIC). UNICEF thanks the local authorities and front-line responders who have worked overnight to address the crisis. With 35 recently confirmed COVID-19 cases in the camp, the pandemic makes it all the more complex and critical to implement a swift and safe response to protect the most vulnerable.
With our partners, UNICEF has transformed the UNICEF Tapuat Child and Family Support Hub, which is nearby Moria camp, into an emergency shelter. This can temporarily accommodate the most vulnerable people, including unaccompanied children, pregnant women, and others with critical needs, until alternatives are identified. More than 300 unaccompanied children are now sheltering there.
UNICEF's priority is to secure the immediate safety and protection of children, in coordination with Greek Government, the Special Secretary for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors, local authorities and our partners in the UN and NGO community. Last night's events serve as a strong reminder of the urgent need for a child-sensitive, humane EU Pact on Migration that respects children's rights to adequate protection and services across Europe.
UNICEF remains ready to fully support the Greek authorities for the immediate protection and safe accommodation of all affected children and families.
Gemma Hill, UNICEF Australia, +61 432 233 675, ghill@unicef.org.au
UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, to build a better world for everyone.

My dog says disliking a dog merely because of his or her genes is breedism! Unfortunately, breed discrimination is rampant and pitbulls are the most common victims.
Just like people, dogs are shaped by their experiences. You can have an aggressive poodle or a passive Rottweiler. It's not all about breed.
Check out these great stories of pit bull heroes. And, remember, don't judge a dog by its breed any more than you'd judge a person by his or her skin color. Discrimination stinks!
Have you read The Lost Dogs by Jim Gorant? Incredible book about the pit bulls rescued from the Michael Vick dog fighting operation. So many have gone on to happy homes, and several are even therapy dogs.
And yes, I agree with you that is the dog, not the breed. There are even aggressive small dogs. Many times it's how they've been treated by previous owners...all too sadly.
We haven't read that book, but we've read a ton about those dogs. What they went through and where they are today. Makes me SICK that Nike resigned that scumbag! He is a mass murderer, pure and simple.

Thanks for the comment, Kristen! Pupperoni kisses to Woody!
This is too "funny". I was just having this conversation yesterday with a new dog pal. I was walking the pack and was confronted by an extremely aggressive 6lb pup (through a fence) which was funny enough....but what was even funnier is that The Blues Bros. were trying to engage and Suede (the 75lb PitX) of course was trying to just get as far away as possible...Likewise, the day before, we were jumped by another EXTREMELY aggressive dog (about 35lbs),of course OFF LEASH...again...The Blues Bros. were not backing down and were totally engaging...Suede - who could easily take this dog down with one swipe of her paw - just simply tried to get away from the chaos...LOL...She is such a Peacenik!
My sister Faith the pitbull sounds like Suede. People avoid her like the plague, but she's a loving, affectionate girl. Now, it's the chihuahua you shouldn't mess with!

Q: uart between atmega328p (C) and Feather m0 (Arduino) receive I want to send data from my ac/gy via atmega328p to a feather m0 module. The atmega is programmed in C using the following github code: https://github.com/YifanJiangPolyU/MPU6050
And the Arduino code for receiving data within the LoRa module is shown below:
void do_send(osjob_t* j){
    // Check if there is not a current TX/RX job running
    if (LMIC.opmode & OP_TXRXPEND) {
        Serial.println(F("OP_TXRXPEND, not sending"));
    } else {
        // Prepare upstream data transmission at the next possible time.

byte strArray[30];
    int i = 0;
    if(Serial1.available()>0) {
       while (Serial1.available()>0){
          strArray[i] = Serial1.read();
          i++;
       }
            // send the 6 bytes payload to LoRaWAN port 7 --> now port 1
            LMIC_setTxData2(1, strArray, sizeof(strArray), 1);

            digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);    // turn the LED on by making the voltage HIGH                      //optional: for confirmation
    }

        }
    }
    // Next TX is scheduled after TX_COMPLETE event.
    //delay(60000);

void loop() {
    os_runloop_once();

}

However, I can't seem to receive anything and can't send a "char array" to the gateway using the LMIC function apparently, so trying to receiving data within a byte array instead. Any help or tips regarding this is greatly appreciated. I'll also include the main.c code for the atmega328P down here below:

A: Connect the board to the PC and check in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor if you can get or send data.
If your serial communication doesn't work, you can check if you are past a point in execution by turning on the led on the board. Most development boards have at least 1, and with Arduino is just a matter of setting the pin as output and digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, 0) in setup, then digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, 1) at the point you want to check.
If your atmega328p is on an arduino board (e.g. uno, nano etc) you should check in the same way for it, too. Both the serial and past-the-point verification.
I'd to that, then rely on the serial for debugging for a while.
I'm curious, do you think the condition "if(Serial1.available()>0)" is true?

\( and \) are easily patched with etoolbox but $ and $ are stubbron for me...
Update
I want a break after , (highest priority).

Update2
I thought "a break before ( or after )" is equivalent to "nolinebreak before/after \mid and operands (in this case)".
But this idea is not correct?
"Allowing line break at ',' in inline math mode" breaks citations this page's trick makes linebreak in inner parenthesis (of course, this is normal behavior).
egreg's suggestion looks great except linebreaking rparen followed comma.
I want mixed soulution.

text:
Christopher James Mannix Bailey (29 November 1956 – 9 April 2022) was an Australian singer, songwriter, musician and producer. He was the co-founder and singer of rock band the Saints.

Early life
Bailey was born in Nanyuki, Colony of Kenya to Irish parents. He grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, until the age of seven, when his family migrated to Australia. His family settled in Inala in Brisbane, Queensland. He and his sister Margaret attended Inala State High School, Oxley State High School and Corinda State High School, where Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay were also students.

Career

Bailey, Kuepper and Hay formed the band, The Saints in 1973. Their first significant success was in the UK with the classic punk anthem "(I'm) Stranded". The band slowly evolved toward a more sophisticated sound on their next few albums.  Bailey continued to lead the band into the 1980s.  A cover of the Easybeats' "The Music Goes Round My Head" was issued as a single in December 1988 and featured on the soundtrack to the film Young Einstein.

Later activities
In 1991, Bailey formed the Chris Bailey Combo which included Paul Hester, Nick Seymour and Dror Erez as well as a revolving cast of guest players.

Demons was Bailey's second solo album, recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had been sent by TVT Records. Savage Entertainment was released in October 1992. In 1993, Bailey wrote and recorded with Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, including a reworking of the song "All Fools' Day". Bailey's fourth solo album, 54 Days ... at Sea, was recorded in Malmö, Sweden, and was released in 1994. It featured Bolivian folk musicians Mundo Folk, whom Bailey had seen busking when visiting friends in Sweden the previous year. Swedish musicians Eddie Nyström (guitar), Magnus Börjeson (bass) and Stellan Colt (drums) provided the rock base for the album. For the Earth Music compilation, issued in June 1994, Bailey contributed a cover of Tim Finn's "Not Even Close".

After several years of solo adventure, Bailey revived the Saints to record Howling in 1996. This album was followed by Everybody Knows the Monkey (1998), Spit the Blues Out (2002), Nothing is Straight in My House (2005), Imperious Delirium (2006) and King of the Sun (2012-Australia, 2013-Europe) which were all recorded under the name of the Saints. When Mushroom Music celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1998, Bailey was one of the invited artists to perform on a stage at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of an audience of about 100,000 people. He performed solo two of his most famous songs, "Ghost Ships", and "Just Like Fire Would", and also a duet with Paul Kelly on "Wide Open Road", a tribute to the late David McComb of the Triffids. In 2003, Bailey made a guest appearance singing the chorus vocals on "Bring It On" on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album Nocturama. Bailey then toured America with the group and performed with them on the Late Show with David Letterman. At the 2005 Queensland Poetry festival in Brisbane, held at the Judith Wright Arts Centre, Bailey headlined the event.

Bailey and the General Dog was another of Bailey's constellations, their last record being Bone Box in 2005. During 2007, Bailey undertook a solo tour of France, on occasion as a double act with French rock artist Mickaël Furnon (alias Mickey) from the rock group Mickey 3D.

Death
Chris Bailey died in Haarlem on 9 April 2022, aged 65.

YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories (Reuters) - Each winter, in the far reaches of Canada's north, a highway of ice built atop frozen lakes and tundra acts as a supply lifeline to remote diamond mines, bustling with traffic for a couple of months before melting away in the spring.
This year, the world's busiest ice road is running late. Unseasonably warm weather has set back ice formation on the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road, named after the first and last of hundreds of lakes on the route.
The road is still expected to open on schedule in late January, but if current weather patterns continue that could mean more work for crews trying to build the ice or cut the road's already short period of operation.
Since its first season in 1982, the road has been vital to a handful of mines scattered across Canada's Northwest Territories (NWT), cut off by a maze of water and spongy tundra, otherwise only reachable by air. Running 400 kilometers (248 miles), it links to three diamond mines, stretching as far as 600 km when it supplied a now-shuttered gold mine.
A shorter season could mean extra costs and inconvenience for moving what amounted last year to 9,000 truckloads of diesel, machines and mining supplies from the NWT's capital city, Yellowknife.
To climate scientists, this year's late freeze could be a harbinger of winters to come. It also raises the alarming prospect of thawing permafrost - the frozen layer of soil covering nearly half of Canada's landmass - which traps methane, a greenhouse gas, which would only hasten warming.
This year's warmer temperatures may be connected to the El Nino climate phenomenon, a periodic warming of Pacific Ocean waters that has far-reaching effects.
It is Yellowknife's second warmest December on record, said David Phillips, a senior climatologist at Environment Canada, Canada's national weather service. So far, the average temperature for this December is just above -15 Celsius, marginally cooler than the -13 Celsius for December 2005, but well above the mean of around -22 Celsius.
For Ron Near, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who manages the road for a group of mining companies, slow ice formation is a transportation problem.
Despite the warmer weather, he said it is not "panic time," and said he expects the road to start operating by the end of January, with the heaviest loads waiting until a harder pack of ice at the beginning of March.
Ice roads cross eight Arctic countries, and Canada alone has 5,400 km of them, critical to unlocking mineral wealth from remote, harsh regions.
In the NWT, a vast land covering more than 1.3 million square km with just 43,000 residents, diamonds were the biggest contributor to the economy last year.
It is no surprise that the territorial government has been pushing a partial all-season road on the southern end of the mine supply route, which could extend the ice road's duration to three months.
The C$170 million project may find favor with Canada's recently elected Liberal government, which has pledged to spend about C$10 billion annually on infrastructure for the next three years.
But it is a long way from the ambitious idea first mooted in the late 1950s by then-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who campaigned for a "road to resources" running through NWT's Mackenzie Valley and connecting to the Arctic coast.
More than a half century later, that vision for a Mackenzie Valley Highway remains elusive. There is a road in the south that extends as far as the town of Wrigley, and a C$300 million road is being constructed to connect the far north town of Inuvik with Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic coast.
But there is no road connecting those two ends, a highway that proponents say would assert Canada's Arctic sovereignty, but would likely cost more than C$1.7 billion to build.
And advances on the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk project are slow because construction occurs only in winter to minimize permafrost damage. More than half the NWT permafrost is sporadic, or discontinuous. It is easily disturbed, which in turn produces ground thaw and instability.
Some 1,700 gigatonnes of carbon are held in permafrost soils globally in the form of frozen organic matter, researchers from the universities of Cambridge and Colorado said in September.
If that methane and carbon dioxide were released, it would increase the risk of catastrophic weather, or loss of agricultural land, causing up to $43 trillion in economic damage globally by 2200, the study calculated.
By mid-century, rising temperatures may reduce the land in Canada suitable for ice roads by 13 percent, or 400,000 square km, concluded researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles in a 2011 study published in Nature Climate Change.
The consequences of those warming temperatures pose an additional risk to mining companies in the NWT, where a half dozen planned mines are on hold due to multi-year low prices for gold, rare earths and other metals.
A taste of the trouble warm winters cause came in 2006, when the road closed after just 36 days. Miners spent more than C$100 million to charter flights for fuel and began talking seriously about options like hovercraft and blimps.
To make the most of winter's cold, lightweight groomers are now clearing snow that insulates and slows ice growth. Later, amphibious tracked vehicles, called Hagglunds, will tow ground-penetrating radar to measure ice thickness.
Crews may need to flood more of the road than normal to quicken the freezing process this winter to overcome the warmer weather, Near said.
The road, tracked by global positioning system technology, now allows longer trailers that haul heavier loads and even has 'express' lanes, so returning trucks with empty loads can exceed the 25 km per hour speed limit.

Researchers Suggest Reversible Transactions Could Minimize Risk Of Crypto Thefts
Basil Kimathi
Breaking, Crypto News
As the growing multibillion-dollar crypto thefts raise concerns in the crypto space, a group of researchers at Stanford University have initiated a proposal that would mitigate the exploitation of crypto funds. They have introduced Ethereum token standards ERC-20R and ERC-721R that would support reversing malicious transactions.
Proposal To Reduce The Impact Of Crypto Thefts
Stanford University researchers Kaili Wang, Qinchen Wang, and Dan Boneh recently proposed a new solution for stolen assets: a decentralized governance community that could freeze and return stolen funds.
Stanford researcher Kaili Wang tweeted that the major hacks we've witnessed are undeniably thefts with strong evidence. Adding that if there was a way to reverse those crypto thefts under such circumstances, our ecosystem would be much more secure.
The proposed new token standards are extensions of the existing ERC020 and ERC721 tokens and include the ability to reverse malicious transactions. The proposal would allow victims to report Crypto Thefts to an Ethereum governance contract, with algorithms helping to identify and freeze ill-gotten funds.
The Proposed Token Standards and How It Works
The proposal further suggests that the governance smart contract is controlled by a decentralized judiciary system that includes a decentralized court of judges who can vote to freeze and reverse malicious transactions.
The proposed token standards allow victims of stolen funds to submit a freeze request to a governance contract. The request will be approved or denied within a day or two at most after the judge's deliberation. If the request is in favor of the victim, the funds can be frozen, and a trial is initiated. In the course of the trial, both sides, the victim and the hacker, can submit their evidence to the decentralized judges. The trial may be lengthy and may be expected to last several weeks. The judges will then vote on the outcome, either the funds are returned to the victim or the request is rejected.
The Proposal Conflicts With The Basic Principles Of Blockchain
Reversible transactions are a risk to the blockchain network, as they contradict the foundation of blockchain principles. The nature and founding principle of blockchain make it difficult to change transactions that have already been recorded. As a result, the proposal has been widely criticized on Twitter by many in the industry, who fear that it will introduce new risks and pitfalls to blockchain standards.
"It's an interesting idea but can be solved through other means that keep crypto truly permissionless", as tweeted by Argent, the popular mobile-first crypto wallet. They further mentioned that other alternatives or mechanisms like fraud monitoring, multi-signature wallets, and social recovery can help fix this problem.
Meanwhile, Kieran Daniels of DeFi project Streams disapproved of the proposal. He stated in a tweet that the proposal would not work and it is an incredibly bad idea. Also, it is against the entire point of cryptocurrency. CEO of ZkLabs, Matthew Di Ferrante tweeted that in the first place no contracts would accept these tokens due to the complexity of handling chains of reversals.
Reversibility features in token contracts could cause problems for developers who want to integrate tokens with their decentralized applications. It is worth carefully addressing the proposed idea considering the core concept of blockchain technology.
Basil is an avid fan of blockchain technology and all its innovations, and he is passionate about sharing this narrative with his audience. He has spent over five years in the crypto space, specializing in research and creating fintech content for various media outlets around the globe. His work has been published on top websites such as usethebitcoin.com, European Blockchain Convention, BTCpeers, coinjournal.net, coinlist.me, and many others. When not thinking about disruptive technologies, Basil is busy exploring the outdoors.

positive reviews. And when "all" employees are encouraged to write reviews, are they all truthful or feel pressured in any way to write glowing reviews, even though they are anonymous? Glassdoor does have policies in place and monitors reviews. But, that's obviously not enough and its reputation is at risk. How can the public trust Glassdoor when looking for a job? How can companies that have accurate ratings compete for talent if their competitors are secretly boosting their ratings? Glassdoor needs to immediately address this issue. It needs to admit fault, put stricter policies in place and explain how it will enforce them. If Glassdoor is revising its policies, then it needs to create a campaign articulating these critical changes in order to regain trust. The company should use an outside firm to help them develop this and communicate it. The CEO should proactively do interviews, be transparent about what needs to change, and how these new changes will be enforced. The company should also reach out to its most important clients to show it is committed to these changes.
In addition, Glassdoor knew this investigative report was coming out since a spokesperson was quoted. The company should have made sure it was completely prepared. If it was prepared, I didn't see evidence. And, one has to wonder how Glassdoor employees would rate their employer after reading this story. This reputational issue is both external and internal. If he hasn't done so yet, CEO Robert Holman needs to hold an all-hands meeting with his employees. The bottom line is the company is built on the foundation of increasing workplace transparency. Glassdoor can't ignore the article and must be transparent in how to fix this issue to safeguard – and rebuild – its reputation. Otherwise, a competitor will see an open door…if it hasn't already.
