Inspired by Victor Wooten, bassist Bartek Krolik, composed this tune, "Fiku Miku", back in 2000. The tune was later recorded for the album, No Bass No Fun. Here, Bartek performs the tune once again on his '76 Musicman Sting Ray. Funky!
Christian McBride on fretless! Here, McBride takes a solo on the Pat Metheny tune "James", with Metheny's trio.


Freight trains frequently carry hazardous materials through the City of Mississauga. CP train #54 was carrying 106 rail cars from Sarnia to Toronto on a weekly scheduled run. Thirty-eight cars were carrying cargo that the Canadian Transport Commission designated as hazardous materials, including liquid styrene, caustic soda, liquid petroleum products, and liquid chlorine. At approximately 11:53 pm, as the train crossed Burnhamthorpe Road, an axel bearing failed and one rail car lost a pair of wheels. The train continued until, at approximately 11:56 pm at the Mavis Road crossing, 24 rail cars derailed. The explosion, caused by ruptures in butane- and propane-carrying rail cars, was seen more than 100 kilometres away. Several subsequent explosions, one of which hurled a 90-ton tanker car filled with liquid propane more than 675 metres away from the derailment site, followed the first explosion within minutes. The initial cause of the derailment was a "hot box" – or an overheated journal box that connects the moving axle of the wheel to the car above. Car 33 had an older model journal box, which required lubrication by oil to avoid overheating. As the train reached Mississauga, the "hot box" failed. When the dangling undercarriage of the damaged car left the rail tracks, 23 other cars followed it, 19 of which carried dangerous commodities. In the midst of the burning wreckage was a leaking chlorine car. This, coupled with the magnitude of the accident and weather conditions, resulted in a series of expanding evacuations, which by Sunday evening had encompassed nearly all of the City of Mississauga along with parts of the neighbouring towns of Oakville and of Etobicoke. The emergency response saw an evacuation of more than 240,000 residents.

Who will triumph in the battle between Google and Facebook?
Publishing personal details on Facebook versus the realtive anonymity Google provides – the battle of targeted advertising continues.
You are reading: Who will triumph in the battle between Google and Facebook?
Since Facebook was launched in 2004, and driven by the fact that it has continued to grow ever since, there has been a lot of rivalry between them and the other dominant sites on the Internet, most of all Google.
Since the launch, there has been a lot of speculation and coverage about a possible take over by Google, but it seems that Facebook were not interested and just used Google's high bids for a part of the company, to help increase the bids from the other candidates.
In the end, Facebook sold a 1.6% share in the company to Microsoft, to Google's horror, for a staggering $240 million, meaning that the entire company is alleged to be worth a massive $15 billion.
Before Facebook was introduced, the Internet was a very anonymous service, where people could effectively hide their identities and their personal details and users seemed to like this and did not want to share their personal information over the web.
However, since Facebook was introduced this has all changed, as people using the social networking platform are behaving very differently, now using real names and email addresses, connecting with real friends and sharing real thoughts, ideas and news.
Due to the nature of Google, it remains an anonymous place, meaning that Google cannot access personal details about it's users unless they are signed in and can only use information such as search history and browsing habits to find out information about them.
At present the Facebook-Google battle seems to be stronger than ever. In the past the Internet has been dominated by Google's arduous and accomplished algorithm, but the CEO of Facebook wants to change this and introduce the concept of a "social graph" and make the web a more sociable and personal platform.
Due to it's recent behaviour it would seem that Google do feel threatened by this new technology, which seems ridiculous as Google are a highly profitable organisation and Facebook are yet to make a dollar in actual profit.
At present, Google is an extremely successful business with Adwords generating around 90% of it's net revenue, which was $15.8 billion last year, but they are aiming for bigger and better profits. It would appear that Google had intended to reach these new heights with the help of Facebook, but now looks like they will be competing for the top spot.
Due to the nature of Facebook it's data remains hidden from the Google spiders, meaning that it is not only holding back information and damaging Google in that way, but it is also competing directly with the search engine giant, as it is now actively promoting Microsoft's new search platform Bing, which is currently doing well in the search traffic battle against Google.
There are also plans in the pipeline for Facebook to create it's own search app to allow members to search for particular topics and see what other members have to say on the subject.
Google and Facebook are also completing for advertisers to use their platforms and they both have their advantages from an advertisers point of view. For example Google Adwords is a great way to show ads to people that are actively searching for a product / service, but Facebook allows advertisers to show an advert to a targeted demographic and create demand.
Due to the levels of personal information Facebook has about its users it has the ability to only show the ad to the people that it is targeted at and hopefully create a need for the product and create brand awareness with the target audience. Whereas Google does not have this level of information about their users and can only show the ads to the people that are actively searching for that product / service.
However Facebook are yet to get the personal ad balance right, between "targeted and useful" and "creepy and stalkerish", as the product 'Beacon' proved, and this is something they are going to have to get right in order to use the vast amounts of information they have, to monetise the company.
In December of last year Google showed that the battle is definitely on and that they are not going down without a fight, as they launched their feature 'Friend Connect' on the same day that Facebook launched their product 'Connect'.
Also in March it was reported that both companies were bidding for the increasingly popular micro-blogging service, Twitter. Twitter is now actually growing at a faster rate than Facebook and would give Google that all important personal data that Facebook has.
Both companies have both shown evidence of trying to become more like Twitter in order to compete with it and each other, such as the new 'What's on your mind?' app found on Facebook, which is very similar to Twitter's 'What are you doing?' concept.
Similarly Google recently launched it's feature called 'Wave', a web app that encourages Facebook and Twitter like sharing. Also in April Google announced the concept of it's 'detailed profiles', in an attempt to encourage users to submit the personal information that Twitter and Facebook have in abundance.
Previously, Google has assured users that it would not use their personal information to target ads and insisted that they would only use search history. However in March, it introduced the concept of behavioural targeting, which tracked users browsing behaviour to deliver more customised ads. This is a subject that needs to be handled with care, after the outrage Facebook users expressed after they introduced their 'Beacon' feature.
Google knows more than most about the huge challenge that Facebook faces: turning their enormous user database into a profitable business. Google itself invested 5 years and $900 million into trying to monetize MySpace. This is a failure that taught them that hard about the difficulties in monetising social media.
We'll have to wait and see if Facebook can pull it off and beat Google in the advertising race.


Craig Lowndes will turn his first Supercars laps of the year at the Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint next month.
The Symmons Plains event kicks off with a 30-minute, additional-driver session on the morning of Friday April 5, with a host of co-drivers expected to take part.
Lowndes retired from full-time competition at the end of 2018 but remains with Triple Eight and reunites with Jamie Whincup in the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.
The three-time champion's last laps in a Supercar came in his farewell event, November's Coates Hire Newcastle 500.
He has subsequently driven a Red Bull Holden Team Commodore on an airfield at the squad's 2019 launch, and contested the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour in a Mercedes.
While Red Bull HRT co-driving recruit Garth Tander got a short stint in Shane van Gisbergen's Holden in the pre-season test, Lowndes did not travel to Phillip Island.
Tander is also scheduled to participate in the Symmons Plains session as part of his acclimatisation.
Lowndes is the defending race winner at the Tasmanian circuit, having taken a drought-breaking ARMOR ALL Pole and victory on the Sunday last April, below.
"It's a track I know very well and I've had great success there," Lowndes, who will revert to his Fox Sports role for the rest of the weekend, told Supercars.com.
"I'm looking forward to getting back in the car and seeing the progression of where the team has taken the car, in knowing the linear spring [dampers] and everything we've been talking about, with where the car's at.
"Talking to both Jamie and Shane over the last couple of meetings, it has been a bit of a shake-up with the linear spring.
"Triple Eight haven't used a single-spring for a long time, so to get their head around that, get the balance right, get the tyre life, making it last the distance it needs seems to be the key.
"Hopefully we can help that progression in our session down at Tassie."
Having been Supercars rivals for two decades, Lowndes and Tander will be in the unique position of sharing a garage.
Triple Eight swooped to sign Tander in the wake of his surprise split with Garry Rogers Motorsport in January.
"That was a huge shock to all of us, what happened to Garth," Lowndes said.
"He's picked up a great spot with Shane and no doubt both of us will have some fun down in Tassie, go head-to-head again but just in a co-driving role.
"It's a little different but hopefully we can give a direction to the team on where they need to go and what they need to do on the cars to help both Jamie and Shane over the course of the weekend."
This year's Enduro Cup starts with the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 rather than Sandown 500, placing a premium on miles through the season.
Most teams canvassed by Supercars.com have confirmed they will have co-drivers in action at Symmons Plains, including Shell V-Power Racing with Tony D'Alberto but not Alex Premat.
Penrite Racing (Luke Youlden and Will Brown) and Mobil 1 MEGA Racing (Jack Perkins and Warren Luff) will have full quotas.
Tickford Racing has three confirmed co-drivers making the trip in James Moffat, new recruit Michael Caruso, above, and Alex Davison.
It will also give Thomas Randle the session in Lee Holdsworth's Mustang, following a brief outing at Phillip Island.
Randle is expected to partner Holdsworth in the Enduro Cup but Tickford says the run is currently "just more Supercars seat time" between Dunlop Super2 Series rounds.
Brad Jones Racing is also taking an almost-complete line-up with Ash Walsh and Tim Blanchard, who are set to partner Tim Slade and Nick Percat.
A co-driver for the Blanchard-owned Team CoolDrive entry of Macauley Jones is to be finalised.
Boost Mobile Racing has indicated it is not planning on taking part in the session.
Chris Pither was Tander's 2018 co-driver and won last year's Super2 crown for GRM and is expected to stay on for this year's enduros.


Please implement it, otherwise we will have to look for another email server because the spammer ingenuity is at a very high level, and emails look really trustworthy and users are opening and trusting them.
It is also necessary to implement DKIM (just like SPF) to block or increase spam ratings for all emails that DKIM do not have. Today it is really necessary and Kerio connect is far behind!
Great Idea - we really need this.
We already implemented DKIM, SPF and DMARC on DNS side. It would be nice if you could add DMARC check for incoming E-Mails in Kerio.
At least Kerio Connect should take the DMARC policies of incoming mails into account and behave correspondingly.
Even better would be reporting to the rua- and ruf-addresses configured for the sender-domain.
Yes, its very good idea!

Shade and Sorceress
The Last Days of Tian Di
by Catherine Egan
fantasy & magic, mythical
The powerful and learned Mancers arrive in Eliza's town to take her away to their Citadel. The only problem is they have made a terrible mistake – Eliza isn't the powerful Sorceress they think her to be. Or is she? Eliza is stunned to learn her father, Rom Tok, has been keeping important secrets: her mother's death wasn't from pneumonia, but the death of all great Shang Sorceresses: killed in battle against evil forces. Even so, Eliza's lessons with the Mancers at their Citadel show them what she has always known – she can't do any magic. The final brave act of Eliza's mother was to trap the evil Xia Sorceress, Nia, in an Arctic prison. But Nia is still powerful enough to use her minions to capture Rom Tok. Escaping the Citadel with her best friend Nell and new friend Charlie, Eliza sets off to rescue her father. They seek help from the Triumvirate, an uneasy alliance of ultimate power – the Oracle, the King of the Faeries, and Swarn, the witch who delivered Eliza as a baby. They try to stop her, but she is determined. She knows she's connected to the Xia Sorceress somehow. What awaits Eliza in the Arctic is more horrible than she could have imagined. Abandoned by the Mancers and the Triumvirate, she must rely on her friends and her own wits and common sense to succeed in her quest. Shade and Sorceress is Catherine Egan's first published novel. Her short fiction has appeared in several publications in the USA and Canada. Catherine currently resides in Princeton, NJ.

The Mancers, ancient scholars, magicians and mystical protectors, have come looking for Eliza Tok. Long ago, the Mancers separated the One World, Tian Di, into two, for the protection of humans. Eliza's world is Di Shang, and the other world is Tian Xia. The Mancers want to bring Eliza to their Citadel to begin teaching her to become a sorceress like her dead mother, and help guard the Crossings between the worlds. But Eliza shows no signs of magical abilities and all she wants is to go home to her father and her friend Nell.
There are others looking for Eliza, spies of the Xia Sorceress. She is the most terrible, ruthless and evil being in the worlds. The Mancers, with the help of Eliza`s mother, imprisoned the Xia Sorceress years ago in the Arctic of Di Shang.
Finally, after what seems to be a fruitless time of study, the Mancers put Eliza to a test. They give her Shang Sorceress clothing and a staff, and send her to battle a hound of the Crossing. And "something deep inside her, deeper than a physical place, something like a tight seed buried in warmth and darkness, suddenly burst . . ." She is able to kill the creature, but her difficulties with magic are not at an end. Eliza finds out that the Xia Sorceress has snatched her father. After Nell comes to visit, Eliza learns that Charlie, the boy she thought was her friend is not what he seems at all.
Eliza, her friend Nell, and Charlie escape the Mancer Citadel and cross into Tian Xia. They hope to find a way to the evil sorceress, so that they can save Eliza's father. Many strange and difficult things must be faced on the journey. Will Eliza ever develop her magical powers?
The book contains traditional elements of fantasy such as dragons, faeries, good and evil characters. However, the author puts her own stamp on these elements to create a unique story, which moves along at a good pace. The reader is kept guessing as to what may happen next.
Author Catherine Egan was born and grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. After university, she taught English in Japan and China. She now lives in New Haven, Connecticut with her husband and children. "Shade and Sorceress" is the first book in "The Last Days of Tian Di" fantasy series.

Food Security South Sudan Project #28756
Famine Threatens 1.8 Million Children
by UNICEF USA
13 Country Famine - 6 Month Report
By Vijita Kumar - Director, Digital
Thanks to the immediate response by partners like you, famine has been pushed backin South Sudan. Across the 13 countries affected by this crisis, your support has helped UNICEF and its partners provide critical support to the most vulnerable children, which includes treatment for approximately 744,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
But, the situation across these countries affected by food insecurity –along with conflict, displacement, below-average harvests and soaring food prices–still remains urgent, leaving millions in need of life-saving support such as screening and treatment forchildren suffering frommalnutrition; health services such as vaccinations; water, sanitation and hygiene programs to prevent deadly diarrheal diseases; protection for children affected by the conflict and displacement; access to education; and cash assistance to the most vulnerable families.
Identified 8,430 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Since January 2017, close to 80,000 children with SAM have been admitted to therapeutic care by UNICEF.
Rehabilitated 32 water points providing over 14,000 people with access to safe water, which includes new internally displaced persons and respond to the current cholera outbreak in Jonglei State.
Established 12 temporary learning spaces and rehabilitated 11 classrooms in Guit, Mayom, Pariang and Panyijiar counties increasing access to education for 1,840 children and adolescents.
Treatedmore than 76,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and provided 500,000 people with safe drinking water and an additional 200,000 people with access to sanitation facilities. UNICEF plans to reach more than 200,000 children under the age of five with treatment for severe acute malnutrition.
Provided close to 100,000 children with lifesaving treatment for severe acute malnutrition since January 2017.
Provided 104,462 children with access to education. All UNICEF-supported schools remained open during the school break, with special catch-up classes in the afternoon for children who missed classes due to drought-induced displacement.
Supported 672,520 women and children under five with emergency life-saving health services by supporting over 100 health facilities and close to 90 mobile health units.
Provided more than 1.58 million people with temporary access to safe water.
With the health system working at the limits of its capacity, the communitymanagement of acute malnutrition program has become even more critical to treat and prevent malnutrition. Over 16,500 children were treated for severe acute malnutrition in May and nearly 7,000 received micronutrient supplementation.
An immunization campaign reached almost 37,000 pregnant women and approximately 323,000 women of child bearing age with the tetanus toxoid vaccine.
Rehabilitated 22 water supply systems and maintenance support to an additional 30 systems to provide 253,000 people with sustainable drinking water.
Over 23,000 internally displaced people received water, sanitation and hygiene support including emergency water supply trucking, installation of water storage tanks and constructing emergency latrines.
A total of 46,839 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition have been admitted into the therapeutic feeding programs, which includes a regular intake of ready-to-use therapeutic food.
Close to 137,000 people have been reached with safe water through various interventions such as rehabbing hand pumps and/or trucking in water. In Borno and Adamawa for example, 41 hand pumps and a solar borehole were rehabilitated to provide access to safe water for 21,446 people.
UNICEF reached 45,317 children with community-based psychosocial support. Message of Thanks

Home Others Zambia to Host 2013 Pan African Conference on Access to Information
Zambia to Host 2013 Pan African Conference on Access to Information
mraadmin
The Republic of Zambia will from September 25 to 27, 2013 host the second regional ACTION (Access to Information) conference titled Leveraging Continental Developments to Enhance the Adoption of Access to Information Laws in Africa. The conference is being organized by the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) and the African Platform on Access to Information (APAI).
The ACTION-Zambia Conference will be officially opened by the country's Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, Honourable Mwansa Kapeya. Participants expected at the conference include Zambian Members of Parliament, policymakers, representatives of UNESCO, the Southern African Parliamentary Trust, the Pan African Parliament, ATI advocates, civil society groups, local community leaders, private sector representatives, stakeholders and media practitioners.
Zambia was been chosen as the location for the 2013 ACTION conference because it is at a critically important stage in its advocacy for access to information law. It is therefore envisaged that the convergence of regional and national advocates speaking around this issue will demonstrate how a country's development and progress can be enhanced through the enactment of enabling access to information laws.
Organisers hope that the conference, along with mapping the way forward for regional and national efforts around access to information, will reinvigorate efforts in Zambia to adopt an access to information law as it is important for Zambia, as well as for the whole Southern African region.
The conference will also explore the multi-sectoral importance of access to information, in accordance with the principles of the APAI declaration. The APAI Declaration stresses the importance of access to information at the most practical level as an essential tool for the enjoyment of a number of basic rights such as health, education and employment.
Southern Africa has lagged behind other African regions with respect to enacting access to information laws in recent years. It is hoped that the adoption of access to information legislation will have a positive ripple effect in the region, encouraging those who do not have such legislation in place to follow in the footsteps of their neighbours.
Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) convened the first ACTION conference in Namibia in an attempt to domesticate the principles of the APAI Declaration to give greater impetus to Namibia's campaign to enact access to information law.
It was attended by groups representing various sectors, including business, ICTs, civil society and media, who joined forces to produce recommendations prior to the drafting of a new access to information bill in Namibia.
ACTION-Zambia conference is expected to represent the largest gathering of access to information experts since the first Pan African Conference on Access to Information (PACAI) was held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2011. The PACAI Conference brought together a number of experts around the issue of access to information to reflect on the achievements of the past two years, and more importantly, to discuss how such achievements should be harnessed to ensure that regional and national campaigns build upon the successes of the past.
On September 19, 2011, the African Platform on Access to Information (APAI) Declaration was adopted at the summit of the Conference, known as AIMS. The APAI Declaration represents regional consensus on Access to Information as a Human Right and as a right that is essential to development, democracy, equality, and the provision of public service. Since its adoption, the APAI Declaration has had a positive influence on the policy environment in Africa.
PACAI achieved a campaign milestone in May 2012, when the African Commission on Human and People's Rights took note of both the African Platform on Access to Information (APAI) and the Model Law on Access to information in Africa. It passed Resolution 222, authorizing the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa to expand Article 4 of the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression to include Access to Information, and further recommended that the AU officially recognize September 28 as International Right to Information day in Africa.
In May 2013, the Pan African Parliament adopted the 'Midrand Declaration on Press Freedom in Africa', which further recognises the APAI declaration, and calls on AU Member States to review and adopt access to information laws in accordance with the model law.
Organisers hope the ACTION Zambia conference will contribute significantly to improving national campaigns on the African Continent.

Q: Errors trying to add rectangles to JPanel I am trying to draw a grid of rectangles on a JPanel that already has a few JButtons on it. I get a big list of errors when I try to run it.
Here's my code:
package GameOfLife;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class GamePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener, Runnable {

public static final int WIDTH = 640;
public static final int HEIGHT = 480;
public static final int RECT = 50;

private boolean running;

private JButton startButton;
private JButton stopButton;
private JButton clear;

private Game game;

public GamePanel() {
    super();
    setPreferredSize(new Dimension(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
    running = false;
    Game game = new Game();
    game.setSize(30);
    startButton = new JButton("Start");
    add(startButton);
    stopButton = new JButton("Stop");
    add(stopButton);
    clear = new JButton("Clear");
    add(clear);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if(e.getSource()== startButton) {
        running = true;
    }
    if(e.getSource()== stopButton) {
        running = false;
    }
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    super.paintComponent(g2);
    Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(RECT,RECT,10,10);
    int BOX_DIM = 1;
    g2.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    for(int i = 0; i<game.getSize(); i++) {
        for(int j = 0; j<game.getSize(); j++) {
            g2.drawRect(RECT+i*BOX_DIM, RECT+j*BOX_DIM, BOX_DIM, BOX_DIM);
            g2.fillRect(RECT+i*BOX_DIM, RECT+j*BOX_DIM, BOX_DIM, BOX_DIM);
        }
    }
    g2.fill(rect);
    g2.draw(rect);
}

@Override
public void run() {

}
}

and then here are all the errors I'm getting:

Any help is much appreciated!

A: I think the game variable is null because you define it and don't initialize it.
private Game game;

public GamePanel() {
    ...
    Game game = new Game();
    ...
}

you should initialize the class variable game instead of creating a new one, try:
public GamePanel() {
    ...
    game = new Game();
    ...
}

NVIDIA dropped the bomb that was the GeForce GTX 1080 in May, and there was a general understanding that the brand new card would be the flagship for the medium term, at least outside of their enterprise-class products. Whilst we knew that the GP100 was a theoretical design coming to consumers, perhaps deep into 2017, the GTX 1080 looked set to be the benchmark for performance computing and gaming for a little while. Well it turns out that NVIDIA had something special up their sleeve all along: the GP102 TITAN X.
At Stanford University event focussing on artificial intelligence and the advantages of high-speed compute to the sphere, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced the big news: a new TITAN was on its way, and it was huge. A few lucky attendees also got their hands on the first of the cards which have rolled off the production line, no doubt aiding them in the continued development of their own progressively more enhanced AI.
NVIDIA have since released a little more information on the specs of the card, its pricing, and where you'll be able to pick it up.
The new NVIDIA TITAN X (currently branded identically to the previous version) is based on the GP102, a GPU built on 16nm Pascal architecture and featuring 12 billion transistors. The card is capable of 11 TFLOPS of single-precision floating-point performance (FP32) compared with 6.1 TFLOPS on the Maxwell-based generation, so developers are getting almost double the throughput in appropriate workloads.
Alongside the above TFLOPS figure NVIDIA are utilising a additional performance rating of 44 TOPS INT8 (int8 referring to 8-bit integer), which is apparently more appropriate for deep learning inference instructions. It's likely that Pascal can apportion int8 workloads more efficiently than Maxwell, hence highlighting this derived figure.
Compared with the GTX 1080 the new TITAN X is a brute of a card. The GP102 features 3586 CUDA cores, a new record for NVIDIA's architecture, up from 3072 on the Maxwell TITAN X and 2560 on the GTX 1080. It's clocked at up to 1.53GHz across those cores, reflecting the higher frequencies achievable on Pascal at 16nm, and is bolstered by 12GB of high-speed GDDR5X with a total available memory bandwidth of 480GB/s.
TITAN X will also support overclocking - whilst this card could almost be seen as a supercomputer in your desktop, NVIDIA are realistic in recognising that many consumer will be picking it up for absurd gaming and VR potential. In reference configuration the card is rated at a TDP of 250W, and will likely require at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI-E power connector. The reference cooling solution is outwardly similar to that of the GTX 1080 Founder's Edition, but is likely to be more elaborate due to higher heat generation from on-board components.
Interestingly it appears that HBM2 memory will remain exclusive to enterprise-class GP100 solutions, likely due to package cost.
The new TITAN X is due August 2nd and will be priced at $1200 MSRP in the US. Each card will be available direct from nvidia.com rather than retailers, at least at launch. More information on the new TITAN X should be released in the very near future, so keep your eyes peeled if you have extreme requirements or work in the burgeoning Deep Learning IT sector.


Web design and development, particularly for large brands, can be a long, iterative process spanning many weeks and months.
What are the goals for our new website?
Who is the audience of our website?
What information is our audience looking for?
What action do we want our website visitors to take?
At each phase of the project, each mode of design or development needs to tie back to these questions—in particular, questions focused on conversion. Of some concern is the fact that 91% of businesses don't take conversion into consideration when designing their new website, which makes it difficult to tie the goal of your website back to your business objectives.
Beyond the strategic nature of the web design or development project, it's important to have a plan for the logistical elements of the website.
Below is a guide on the key five questions you should know before beginning the project. While you may not know all of the answers internally, you can utilise web development consultants to help with your web strategy and planning.
#1 Why do we need to develop or redesign our website?
For UK brands, working with a London-based web strategy consultant can bring a number of benefits to the cost-effectiveness, strategy, marketing and maintenance of your future website. When you approach a consultancy, it's because you need help in defining what the end-goal is, how it relates to your business objectives and how your website can support that. It's more than simply having a web presence, for many large brands and B2B organisations, your website can be a conduit for doing business. A web strategy consultant will help you define where your website fits into your broader business and revenue goals.
#2 What kind of web design is most suited to our website?
The design of your website needs to be reflective of your brand, your strategic goals, and the actions you want your users to take. If you're a restaurant or a booking agent, your web design will need to centre around a booking system. If you're a retailer or online service provider, you will need to centre your design around a payment gateway. If your company offers environmentally-focused services or products, you'll want to maintain a consistent colour palette and branding in line with those themes. A lot of this comes from the strategic phase of the project, and having a web development consultancy that can manage a project from strategy to design and beyond is important.
#3 Which content management system should I use?
It wasn't so long ago that the market for scalable, user-friendly content management systems (CMS) was limited to a small number of platforms. Today, that number has grown exponentially. In their 2017 Best Content Management System rankings, the editorial team at Business.com provided a comprehensive list of the top website CMS for brands and named WordPress as the best overall CMS. Further analysis on the top CMS for brands were featured in Marketing Tech News.
While the team at Moove have worked on almost all open-source CMS, we agree that WordPress offers the best value for large brands and offer our services as WordPress development experts, developing websites for some of the UK's largest brands. You can read more here on why we think WordPress is the best CMS for your website.
#4 How can our website be optimised to integrate with our wider business tools?
To extract the full value of your website, it must not exist outside of your day-to-day business platforms. On the contrary, integrating website behaviour into wider business platforms is an underutilised area of optimisation and business growth.
WordPress allows for a high level of customisation when it comes to business platform integration, and Moove are experienced with WordPress integrations and custom plugin development. Whether it's integrating WordPress with Salesforce CRM, payment gateways or calendar and booking management systems, enabling these integrations means the business generated by your website is easily included in wider business and marketing reporting.
You will need to plan out how your day-to-day business platforms will be integrated into your website. If you are conducting a redesign of an existing website, you also need to ensure the redesign project does not negatively impact your ongoing SEO or PPC efforts.
#5 How will the website be maintained once it is live?
After all of the strategic and design discussions, the coding and implementation and reviews—your website is finally live and delighting your customers and delivering leads or revenue to your business.
It would be awful to get to this point without considering how the website will be maintained. What happens if a server goes down? If you are capturing payment or personally identifying information and sending the data in an encrypted way, when does the SSL certificate need to be renewed? How will new campaign pages be deployed and managed?
Getting support with your WordPress site isn't just about having someone to manage the backend, but is also a proactive step to ensure your web development meets specific campaign dates and goals.
Developing responses to these questions will go a long to ensure your web development project is aligned to your fundamental business and marketing objectives.
Are you looking for a London-based WordPress web development agency? Please get in touch to discuss how we can Moove your web development project forward. Contact us today.

"Standardizing marine biodiversity assessment and monitoring"
The Global ARMS Program is a Smithsonian Institution initiative hosted at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. The program centralizes and makes available information and documentation on the ARMS and standardized processing protocols. The program curates a database of worldwide ARMS deployments that can be searched freely on the ARMS portal.
The ARMS (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures) are passive collectors used to sample marine understudied cryptofauna. Similarly to settlement plates, ARMS are deployed on marine substrates and colonized by marine species. Because of their three-dimensional structure, mimicking the complexity of hard bottom marine substrates, they attract both encrusting species (corals, algae, etc.) and motile organisms (crustaceans, mollusks, polychaetes, etc.). The key innovation of the ARMS is their ability to sample marine communities over precisely the same area and in the exact same manner providing a standardized and quantifiable biodiversity measure. This sampling repeatability is a great asset to answer varied research questions: monitoring of diversity over time, exploring the effects of marine protected areas on the recovery of biodiversity, or quantifying human impacts. Combined with today's powerful molecular methods such as high throughput sequencing, they enable the study of microbial, prokaryotic and eukaryotic whole communities.
The ARMS were developed during the Census of Marine Life (CoML) international initiative. In an attempt to enhance global understanding of reef biodiversity, the CoML Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems (CReefs) team, led by Nancy Knowlton (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego and the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution), Julian Caley (Australian Institute of Marine Science) and Russell E. Brainard (Coral Reef Ecosystem Division, NOAA) were to conduct a taxonomically diversified global census of coral reef ecosystems, increase tropical taxonomic knowledge, increase access to and exchange of coral reef data dispersed throughout the world and develop new, universal protocols that would standardize our approach to marine biodiversity study.
Since the Census of Marine Life, the ARMS project has expanded on a global scale and the ARMS have been adopted as a key biodiversity assessment tool by NOAA's National Coral Reef Monitoring Program' (NCRMP) and Ocean Acidification Program's climate monitoring stations in the Pacific. NOAA has played a central role in developing ARMS deployment and processing protocols and training material.
As an expanding project, the ARMS are attracting a wide range of international institutions working on a wide variety of projects.
The NSF funded Coral Triangle PIRE project is a multi-institutional project that aims at elucidating biodiversity patterns in the global epicenter for marine biodiversity and understanding the effects of pollution on marine communities.

Q: Wordpress code breaks on database query add_action( 'trash_post', 'producers_xml' );

function producers_xml($post_id){
    if($post_id){
        $post_type = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT element_type FROM wp_icl_translations WHERE element_id = '".$post_id."'");

        if($post_type[0]->element_type == 'post_producer'){
            die("Yes");

        }
    }

}
Testing this code locally (and substituting the $post_id with a hard-coded value) is no problem, but when I place it in this function, it breaks right before the database query. I've checked the $post_id and it is set and holds the value I want to search. But anything after that query doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

A: Make sure you global $wpdb first
global $wpdb;
$results = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare("SELECT element_type FROM wp_icl_translations WHERE element_id = %d", $post_id) );
//dump the results to see what we get back
var_dump($results);
die();


At CSVANW, we believe that each of our Native women carry within them, the hopes, visions, prayers and songs of their ancestors. We believe that they carry within them, the resilience of their families and their communities. We honor our Native women, as the life givers of our communities and as the keepers of our next generations.
According to the recent National Institute of Justice report released May 2016, research shows that 4 in 5 Native women (84.3%) will experience violence in their lifetime. Of that 84.3% of women, 56% of those violent experiences are sexual and 55% are physical. Among Native youth alone, more than 60% have been recently exposed to violence in different sectors of their lives – at home, school, and within their community.
Although the numbers are stunning- the NIJ report validates what tribal communities have known for years- the high rates of violence are widespread and it affects almost every single Native family.
With these high rates of violence sweeping through our tribal communities, the most understood and least often discussed number is: Native youth who see violence in the home are 75% more likely to become a future victim of violence or a perpetrator. And according to the Indian Health Service data, violence accounts for 75% of deaths for Native youth, 12-20 years of age.
Domestic violence is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors that include physical, sexual, verbal and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion, that adults or adolescents use against their intimate partners.
Abuse: Behaviors that physically, sexually, emotionally, psychologically act to diminish or dehumanize a person.
Assault: An act which intentionally inflicts bodily harm through the use of force or which puts someone in fear of imminent bodily harm.
Battering: A pattern of intimidation, coercion, and threats of or actual violence used by an individual to establish and maintain control over his or her partner.
These learned behaviors have been intensified by acts of colonization and the imposition of hierarchy and foreign belief systems on Native peoples. These unnatural learned behaviors of power and control include: using male privilege, isolation, intimidation, emotional abuse, minimizing, lying and blaming, sexual abuse, using children, economic abuse, coercion and threats, cultural abuse, ritual abuse and physical abuse.
Domestic violence is not: genetically inherited, caused by illness, caused by alcohol or drugs, the result of stress or anger, the result of "a bad temper," or in reaction of the behavior of the victim, children or a problem in the relationship.
CSVANW strives to end domestic violence so that we will honor natural life-supporting power that which includes: economic partnership, negotiation and fairness, non-threatening behavior, respect, trust and support, honesty and accountability, responsible parenting, shared responsibility, sexual respect, partnership, cultural respect and spiritual reflection.
Equality is natural life-supporting power that is grounded in spirituality.

Q: how to delete an entire row if checked in react hooks? I have a table with 5 columns. the first column has a check box, when checked I can either edit or delete the entire checked row. Im using react hooks to do that. now I can edit the entire row but I can't delete the row. here is my code.
  const handleCheckbox = id => {
    console.log("called");
    const checkedRow = [...users];
    checkedRow[id].select = !checkedRow[id].select;
    setUsers(checkedRow);
    setNewCheck([...checksArray, checkedRow]);

    // id = newCheck.length + 1;
    // setNewCheck([...newCheck, id]);
    console.log("checkArray", checksArray);
  };

in the previous code I can pass the row id to the checkbox method then I want to add the the rows ids to the array to delete them.

const initialFormState = {
    id: null,
    code: "",
    englishName: "",
    arabicName: "",
    remarks: "",
    checkedGroup: []
  };

  // Setting state
  const [users, setUsers] = useState(usersData);
  const [checksArray, setNewCheck] = useState(initialFormState.checkedGroup);
  const [currentUser, setCurrentUser] = useState(initialFormState);
  const [editing, setEditing] = useState(false);

the previous code belongs to the array and the values in the array.

How can I delete the entire row? am I approaching this the right way or is there a better way to do it? thanks in advance.

Nissan to cut 12,500 jobs globally, 1,710 of them in India
Japanese automaker will cut jobs and trim model range, while investing in autonomous and electrified technology; 13.5 percent of job cuts to be in India operations.
By Autocar Pro News Desk 26 Jul 2019 23220 Views Share -
Nissan has confirmed plans to reduce its production capacity and model range, and axe around 12,500 jobs worldwide, in a bid to turn its fortunes around.
The Japanese carmaker's India operations will bear 13.68 percent of the total job cuts – over 1,710 people – as per data available from the company. These job redundancies in India and six other markets will happen in 2019 albeit there is no information at which levels the job redundancies will take place.
A total of 13 markets are to bear the brunt of the job losses globally. USA (1,420+), Mexico (1,000+), UK (90+), Spain (470+), Indonesia (830+), Japan (880), India (1,710+) between FY2019 and FY2020, and 6,100 more in six other global markets (from FY2020 to FY2022).
This news comes even as India Auto Inc reels under an unprecedented sales slowdown for nine months in a row, which is impacting OEM and supplier growth and leading to job losses. It was only yesterday that apex component body ACMA warned of job losses.
Under the Renault Nissan Alliance, Nissan Motor India has a joint manufacturing plant at Oragadam in Chennai with an installed capacity of 480,000 units per annum. Nissan is having a tough time in the Indian market. In Q1 FY2020 (April-June 2019), the company sold a total of 5,353 units, down 49.40 percent year on year. The same period also saw its passenger vehicle market share come down from 1.21 percent in Q1 2019 to 0.75 percent in Q1 FY2020.
Nissan Motor Co had announced 4,800 job cuts earlier this year, having suffered its lowest profits for almost 10 years. The 12,500 job losses – around 9% of the firm's global workforce – include 6,400 the firm has already made. They come as a result of moves by Nissan to reduce its global production capacity by around 10%. The major restructure was confirmed by the company during the publication of its first quarter results for the 2019 financial year yesterday. In the three-month period running from April to June Nissan's net income is down 94.5% year-on-year, with sales down in several key markets.
Global production capacity to be cut by 10% by end-FY2022
To improve its overall utilisation rate, Nissan will reduce its global production capacity by 10% by the end of fiscal year 2022. In line with production optimisations, the company will reduce headcount by roughly 12,500. Furthermore, the company will reduce the size of its product line-up by at least 10% by the end of fiscal year 2022 in order to improve product competitiveness by focusing investment on global core models and strategic regional models.
While some of these initiatives are already underway, the company expects that substantial improvements in its performance will take time.
Nissan also says it will reduce the size of its product line-up by around 10% by the end of 2022, and will "focus investment on global core models and strategic regional models."
According to Nissan boss Hiroto Saikawa, the models affected are likely to include compact cars and those from its Datsun sub-brand.
As with many car firms, Nissan will spend heavily on future technologies, and says it will invest heavily in its ProPilot driver assistance system. It is also plotting further investment in electirifed vehicles, including battery electric models. It will also investigate new business models, including ride-sharing mobility services.
Multiple reasons have been cited as reasons for Nissan's profits slump,including global sales stagnation in the US and Europe, falls in Asia, political uncertainty, tariffs, the need to invest in electrification and autonomy, and a part-ageing product line-up, including its successful Qashqai and Juke SUVs. Greater competition from rival manufacturers in the SUV segment is also a factor.
In May this year Nissan reported net profits annual profits of 319bn yen (£2.37bn), down 5% on the previous year. This was the lowest figures since 2009/10, in the wake of the global financial crisis. The company has also warned that the current year could be worse.

The way this torture work in my case the torture group assumes I'm on so much sensation torture that I can't feel real life sensations. The truth is the thought voice can A) only mention sensations the torture group is doing B) only mention sensations I'm presumed to be feeling from observation C) can't even list the full amount of sensation input a human being has in touch alone.
The torture group does sensation attacks for every action I take. They do sensations for what I should physically be feeling like the jacket I'm wearing. Except they're running physical sensations, emotional sensations and then also sensation torture attacks like pain. The sensation technology can't run three at one in full capacity. I'm always at either one or a mix of one-third capacity. This torture technique doesn't cover all the bases and shouldn't be running at under capacity.
This torture techniques which is evident in my nonstop daily torture attacks helps me keep track of what sensations the torture group is doing. I go by this: Anything the thought voice mentions which I correctly feel physically is the torture technology and anything else I'm just not noticing at the moment. I theorize that I have regular sensory input capabilities but the torture technology is flooding my system with input.

Romney's wealth as high as $250 million
Aug. 12, 2011, 10:20 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
By JACK GILLUM, STEPHEN BRAUN
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's personal wealth — up to $250 million — survived the nation's economic crisis, according to figures released Friday. But his pledge to sell off interests that conflict with his GOP stances did not extend to some investments in a family charity.
The new records make clear that Romney is much wealthier than President Barack Obama or any of Romney's GOP opponents. The immense fortune controlled by Romney and his wife, Ann, is worth $190 million to $250 million — within the same range as his 2007 presidential financial disclosure records, his campaign said.
Romney's financial records, submitted Friday to meet a deadline set by the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, valued his fortune at $86 million to $264 million.
The campaign, however, reported his wealth within a narrower range.
The holdings reflect Romney's success in running a major Boston venture capital firm and his stewardship of his own investments on Wall Street — a strong base in his drive for influential donors and the Republican nomination. But amid a deep recession and populist outrage, Romney's wealth could prove double-edged, as seen in the controversy brewing over his comment Thursday that "corporations are people."
The former Massachusetts governor was criticized by GOP presidential campaign rivals in 2007 because some of his vast array of investments reaped profits from corporations with interests in Iran, China and embryonic stem research. In response, Romney pledged that his financial portfolio "would conform to my positions."
At the time, Romney urged companies to divest interests in Iran and opposed Chinese human rights violations and the creation of new human stem cell lines for medical research. Although insistent that he had no sway over the blind trust that controlled his investments, Romney said his Boston-based trustee would sort out any conflicts.
Romney's latest report shows that since 2007, his blind trust had sold off shares in many of the companies that posed conflicts with hard-line stances on Iran, China and stem cells. Among the investments listed as sold on the 2011 disclosure are Honeywell, which had aided Iranian gas production through a British subsidiary, and Schlumberger, an oil services company that operated both in Iran and Sudan. Both stocks were managed through a private Goldman Sachs portfolio, the disclosure said.
But IRS records show that between 2007 and 2009, Romney's family charity, the Tyler Charitable Trust, continued to buy and sell other investments in companies that dealt with Iranian businesses, complied with Chinese censorship or aided in stem cell research.
The Romney campaign said that a 2010 filing for the charity is expected later this year but declined to comment on any specific investments in either Romney's personal disclosure or his separate charity filings.
"Governor and Mrs. Romney's assets are managed on a blind basis," Gail Gitcho, communications director for the Romney campaign, said in a statement. "They do not control the investment of these assets."
Both Romney's blind trust assets and his family charity are under the direction of Boston attorney R. Bradford Malt. Echoing Romney, Malt said in 2007 that he would prune out investments that did not comport with Romney's political stances.
"As I become aware that ownership of a stock was inconsistent with public positions, I might sell them," Malt said during a 2007 teleconference.
Yet as late as the 2009 period, tax filings show, Romney's charity bought shares worth $5,734 in Petroleo Brasiliero SA, also known as Petrobras, a Brazilian state-owned energy company that reportedly invested $100 million to develop Iranian oil and natural gas reserves in the Caspian Sea. The charity later sold the shares that year at a loss.
Similarly, the charity bought and sold $10,600 worth of Baidu Inc., a major Chinese Web search engine company that has been accused by human rights activists of collusion with strict Chinese government censorship of the Internet.
The charity also bought and sold $37,345 worth of Beckton Dickinson, a bioscience company that has helped develop environments for the growth of stem cells and funded grants for stem cell research.
In 2007 and 2008, the charity also purchased and sold hundreds of other investment shares — worth thousands of dollars — in more than a dozen other foreign and domestic companies that have conducted dealings with Iran, China or stem cell research.
The companies included China-based businesses Hang Lung, Telefonica and China Mobile Limited; medical research companies such as Merck, Roche Holdings and Fisher Scientific; and companies that dealt with Iran, among them Schlumberger, Gazprom and Total.
Many of those companies, which had been shown as investments on Romney's 2007 financial disclosure, were listed as sold on his 2011 report. And the new report clearly shows that the blind trust has pruned many other stock purchases among the former Massachusetts governor's former investments. While the 2007 report ran to 47 pages, the new disclosure is only 28 pages.
His current investments are spread through domestic and international stocks and funds, including energy companies, banks and financial products and companies specializing in health care, technology and consumer and manufacturing goods.
Romney's new disclosure also shows signs of more cautious investing, a response to the recent recession. The report details an investment of $250,000 to $500,000 in gold since 2007, a period when gold prices climbed.
Romney's disclosures describe at least $3 million in investments from Bain Capital, the Boston venture capital firm he co-founded in 1984. Some of the assets were part of a retirement agreement with Bain and reflected the values of those investments before the agreement expired in December 2010.
Bain is also the former employer of Edward Conard, a former Romney co-worker and investor who secretly contributed $1 million — through a short-lived company, W Spann LLC — to a Romney-leaning political committee, Restore Our Future, before coming forward as the donor.
In comparison to Romney's $190 million to $250 million fortune, Obama reported assets last May worth $2.2 million to $7.5 million, swelled by royalties from the books "Dreams From My Father" and "Audacity of Hope."
Romney has donated the proceeds of "No Apology," his most recent campaign-related book, to charity.
Among Romney's chief rivals, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, by comparison, holds fewer assets. He earned about $120,000 a year in salary as governor. He has outstanding credit lines on his suburban home. Upon retirement, he'll be able to draw on public pensions from his time as a legislator and governor.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has assets with a net worth of $500,000 to $1 million, 2010 House financial disclosure records show. That includes a family farm in Wisconsin and Bachmann & Associates in Lake Elmo, Minn., a psychotherapy clinic headed by her husband, Marcus.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is expected to announce his GOP candidacy this weekend, has disclosed two blind trusts worth more than $50,000 combined, but some reports have estimated Perry's financial worth as closer to $1 million.
Despite the vast personal reserves at Romney's command, the financial assets wielded by presidential candidates may matter less this time around, thanks in part to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling known as "Citizens United."
The court ruling overturned a ban on corporate spending in federal elections. In turn, big-money donors this election cycle have already given millions to outside political committees — known as super PACs — in support of candidates.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Romney raised $88.5 million in campaign funds in 2007, with $35.4 million coming out of his own pocket.
So far in 2011, Romney leads his GOP rivals in garnering super PAC money as well. The pro-Romney Restore Our Future raised more than $12 million during the first six months of 2011, according to FEC records.
The pro-Romney PAC has had to fend off questions surrounding the shielded identities of some of its top donors, such as Conard. Meanwhile, other groups have said they are setting up PACs in support of Bachmann and Perry.
Associated Press writers Brian Bakst in St. Paul, Minn., and Chris Tomlinson in Austin, Texas, contributed to this report.

I needed a trash can for our half bath in the garage/living room area. Everything I could find in the store was way too big. Then, we ran out of tissues… I realized the tissue box was the perfect size! So I duct taped it so it's "waterproof" (maybe) and called it good.
I mean, it kinda matches the stainless steel of the sink, right??
I've been wanting a pink flamingo for the yard for a LONG time now. Allen has objected for a LONG time now. I finally won!
Allen did a little rust abatement (trying not to tear the whole thing apart), then I gave it a fresh coat of paint. YAY!
Fun Fact: Don Featherstone of Massachusetts is the inventor of the pink plastic lawn flamingo, which has been gracing lawns since 1957.
Hi, my name is Rachel and I love moving around. My boyfriend and I travel and live in our camper with a nine pound puppy named Charlie (Charles when she's in trouble). Over the past couple of years I've learned a lot about living on the road, gotten to know some very interesting people, and discovered some neat places. I've been toying with the idea of a blog for a few months now, so here it finally is!
HomeSweetHomeOnWheels is a place for me to talk about my random musings of things on the road. We like good food, trying different local cuisines, craft beer and playing trivia. We like to watch NASCAR and go to races when we can. I love to cook and go to flea markets. I also like to draw and paint and make puppy clothes. Yes, puppy clothes. Charlie likes her outfits.
We log a lot of highway miles and stay a lot of different places. So I wanted a place to share all these experiences, with our friends and family, but also with other RVers… You'll find RV park reviews, recipes, issues we've had with the camper and things we've done to improve it, little gems we've found on the highway, artsy crafty stuff, and I'm sure a lot more.

Adios, Chavo
Edge, Me, & Chavo Wrestlemania 24 Axxess
The WWE has released former ECW, Cruiserweight, and tag team champion Chavo Guerrero. This news is hardly shocking. The WWE typically starts cutting members of the roster in the weeks after Wrestlemania, I was kind of surprised the process didn't happen sooner.
However, Chavo says he asked for his release. He wrote a pretty lengthy statement about it saying that the WWE has always used the Guerreros to put other guys over and make others look good.
In part he wrote, "...I was just tired of not being used correctly. Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn't mean they should just have u lose to them. The same thing happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status. Being a Guerrero, we've been taught since diapers to get the most out of ppl & matches. It's our gift, but also our curse. WWE has always used us to make other ppl look good."
I don't totally agree with Chavo's statement, at least not the part about Eddie. Sure, after he dropped the title, he floundered for a while. And I would have much rather seen him hold the belt instead of losing it to JBL, but that's another blog. Right before his death in 2005 though, Eddie was back on the fast track to the top. He was rumored to get another run as champion. I'm pretty sure he was working a program with Batista or about to start one. I'm having trouble remembering all the specifics, but I know he was one of SmackDown's top guys.
Back to Chavo now, yes he never got higher than the midcard status. For some reason, he just didn't seem to click with the fans. But I think that goes back to even the WCW days. Some of his gimmicks and feuds were entertaining, but he was never someone that I could really get behind. He seemed to lack "it", in my opinion. And I don't mean that as disrespect. Maybe part of the problem was people compared him too much to Eddie, and Chavo was never able to be Chavo. He was always "Eddie's nephew" or a "Guerrero". I think sometimes that's the curse of being a second or third generation star (David Flair, Ted DiBiase, Jr., and Lacey Von Erich, are you reading?)
Even when they tried that silly Kerwin White gimmick, I cringed. I just could not get into the character. I did enjoy Chavo's run in ECW and his feud with CM Punk. I also liked Los Guerreros when he and Eddie "lied, cheated, and stole" their way to the WWE tag team titles.
Chavo vs. Santino, with Hornswoggle nearby (2009)
I will agree with Chavo in some respects. I thought it was ridiculous what they did with him in the feud with Hornswoggle. If I remember correctly, Chavo didn't get the upper hand one time in that program. He really was made to look like a fool.
Someone posted on Facebook today, who would have thought Vickie Guerrero would be the only Guerrero working for the WWE? I have to agree. I do find her character more entertaining than Chavo's though, so like I said before, this release comes as no surprise.
What's next for Chavo? He's almost 41 years old. Probably too young to retire, too old for a major push as a main eventer anywhere else. My gut tells me he'll end up in Impact Wrestling. TNA has a way of finding a place for former WWE superstars, and if they can play off the Guerrero name, I'm sure they'll do that. Plus, Uncle Hector works for the company. Whatever Chavo ends up doing, I wish him the best though. He always seemed like a good guy, and I'm sure he is.

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory viral pathogen in children worldwide. hMPV is divided into four subtypes: hMPV_A1, hMPV_A2, hMPV_B1, and hMPV_B2. hMPV_A2 can be further divided into hMPV_A2a and A2b based on phylogenetic analysis. The typical prevalence pattern of hMPV involves a shift of the predominant subtype within one or two years. However, hMPV_A2, in particular hMPV_A2b, has circulated worldwide with a several years long term high epidemic. To study this distinct epidemic behavior of hMPV_A2, we analyzed 294 sequences of partial G genes of the virus from different countries. Molecular evolutionary data indicates that hMPV_A2 evolved toward heterogeneity faster than the other subtypes. Specifically, a bayesian skyline plot analysis revealed that hMPV_A2 has undergone a generally upward fluctuation since 1997, whereas the other subtypes experienced only one upward fluctuation. Although hMPV_A2 showed a lower value of mean dN/dS than the other subtypes, it had the largest number of positive selection sites. Meanwhile, various styles of mutation were observed in the mutation hotspots of hMPV_A2b. Bayesian phylogeography analysis also revealed two fusions of diffusion routes of hMPV_A2b in India (June 2006) and Beijing, China (June 2008). Sequences of hMPV_A2b retrieved from GenBank boosted simultaneously with the two fusions respectively, indicating that fusion of genetic transmission routes from different regions improved survival of hMPV_A2. Epidemic and evolutionary dynamics of hMPV_A2b were similar to those of hMPV_A2. Overall, our findings provide important molecular insights into hMPV epidemics and viral variation, and explain the occurrence of an atypical epidemic of hMPV_A2, particularly hMPV_A2b.
