The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has published a progress report on its ongoing review of capital raising in the exempt market. The report indicates that four new prospectus exemptions are being considered: a crowdfunding exemption; an exemption for sales of securities to family, friends and business associates; an offering memorandum exemption; and a streamlined rights offering exemption. The OSC staff will work toward implementing these exemptions with the overall objective of facilitating access to capital, particularly for smaller issuers, while ensuring appropriate investor protection and better harmony of Ontario's rules with those in other Canadian jurisdictions.
Of the prospectus exemptions being considered by the OSC, an exemption for crowdfunding, which involves issuers raising capital via the Internet, is the most novel. Adoption of such an exemption would likely include limits on both the amount of capital that can be raised and the size of each investor's investment, resulting in the crowdfunding exemption being available only for relatively small transactions. In this respect, the OSC may borrow from the U.S. JOBS Act, which requires the SEC to implement crowdfunding rules for offerings of up to U.S.$1 million.
Funding portals will likely be subject to dealer registration requirements, although exemptions from some of these requirements may be considered. The OSC is also considering the extent of due diligence that should be required of funding portals and whether or not issuers should have to provide financial statements or other disclosure to investors. The challenge will be to keep regulatory burdens and associated compliance costs reasonable for small issuers but sufficiently robust to prevent abuse and maintain the market's integrity.
The OSC is likely to adopt an offering memorandum exemption modeled after the Alberta regime, which requires purchasers to satisfy certain eligibility criteria in order to invest more than $10,000. In developing a rule for Ontario, the OSC staff will be considering investor protection issues such as the extent of disclosure required, appropriate investment limits, and whether or not complex securities like securitized products or derivatives should be excluded. The OSC recognizes that having a consistent OM exemption across the country would reduce inefficiencies and confusion in the market, ultimately improving issuers' access to capital.
The OSC may also adopt a prospectus exemption similar to the "family, friends and business associates" exemption currently available in the rest of Canada. Safeguards may be imposed to deter abuse of the exemption; in particular, to prevent sales of securities to investors who lack a sufficiently close relationship with the issuer's principals. Other safeguards may include a mandatory risk acknowledgment form for investors.
The OSC will be working with other Canadian securities regulators to consider a streamlined rights offering exemption, possibly modeled on a TMX proposal to shorten the regulatory review period, increase the dilution ceiling and shorten investors' exercise period. In addition, the OSC may consider adopting a separate exemption that would permit reporting issuers to sell securities to existing security holders without an offering document, relying instead on the issuer's continuous disclosure record.
The U.S. JOBS Act was enacted last year to encourage capital raising and stimulate job creation by smaller companies. The reforms significantly liberalize the U.S. private placement regime but also include "bad actor" rules that can disqualify an issuer, on the basis of past wrongdoing, from relying on a private placement exemption. The SEC, like the OSC, has a mandate to strike an appropriate balance between facilitating capital raising, particularly by smaller issuers, and protecting investors, particularly retail investors.
Although the U.S. and Canadian private placement regimes are under reform, issuers' basic ability to conduct cross-border private placements by selling securities to accredited investors in both jurisdictions has not changed. This is important since sales to accredited investors represent a very significant proportion of the U.S. and Canadian private placement markets. It is also notable that the SEC's new "bad actor" rules and the due diligence obligations associated with general solicitation and advertising do not apply to Rule 144A sales to qualified institutional buyers. This may make Rule 144A an even more popular way for Canadian issuers to add a U.S. tranche to their Canadian public or private offerings.

Thermwood Cut Ready - The First CNC That Doesn't Need a Programmer!
Cut Ready - The First CNC That Doesn't Need a Programmer!
Cut Ready doesn't need a programmer because there is already one inside the control. We call him "Artie".
Despite the cute name, Artie is actually a cutting edge, artificial intelligence engine inside the Cut Ready control. You tell him what you want and he creates a program to make it.
Artie has actually been hiding out behind the scenes in the Cut Ready control this whole time, but he has never made an appearance until now. He is the first A.I. dedicated to making your manufacturing life easier to handle. While he is a CNC programmer and designer at heart, he also watches over your shoulder to make sure everything goes smoothly and efficiently.
You tell him what you want and he creates a program to make it. Whether it is cabinets, doors, moldings or furniture, Artie will program it for you!
The Cut Center - requires neither a CNC programmer nor a trained machine operator. Artie moves beyond just programming to guide the operator through the entire production process real time. It is complete, fully contained with all the ancillary equipment smoothly integrated into a package that almost runs itself. Pretty much anyone can run a Cut Center.
The Cut Ready 43 - is a lower priced machine that doesn't need a CNC programmer but does require a trained and somewhat skilled machine operator. With the Cut Ready 43 system, Artie offers help during the production process but not quite to the extent that it does with a Cut Center.
The Cut Ready 43 is equipped with a 5 by 8 table, a 21-position tool changer and a high flow vacuum hold-down system (additional table sizes and options are available).
The Cut Ready 43 is intended to bring the magic of Artie to a lower priced system. It features a full-sized vacuum table and, just like its big brother, doesn't require a CNC programmer. Just like a Cut Center, it can help you quickly and easily create most products a cabinet shop would want to make without a CNC programmer (only operational training is required).
Since this is a CNC router at its core, you are free to program and operate it as a normal CNC router if you want, but the magic of Artie makes the Cut Ready 43 a whole new exciting experience!
For More Info on the Cut Ready 43, please click here.
This video shows the powerful Cut Ready 43 machining a door and matching drawer front in MDF using diamond tooling.
The Thermwood Cut Center is equipped with a 5'x10' table, easy sheet flipper, vacuum cups and a host of other software and equipment. It is all designed to help you save time and money, using an easy to operate and sophisticated combination of software and machinery that you can feel confident in.
We've taken the fear out of automation by combining our easy to use interface and years of experience in the industry to create a powerful tool that will allow you to focus more on your products, business, making money, and worry less about being intimidated by the technical details. It is complete, fully contained with all the ancillary equipment smoothly integrated into a package that almost runs itself.
The Cut Center is the ultimate in next generation CNC.
Your time is money, and the Cut Center helps you save more of both.

Lost Souls In A Lost Decade: Maborosi And Koreeda's Ozu Problem
Adam Solomons , July 10th, 2020 08:28
Hirokazu Koreeda arrived with a sombre and stylish film about a woman readjusting to life after her husband's suicide. But can Japan's modern master of domestic dramas escape the shadow of Ozu? Adam Solomons investigates
The Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda, perhaps understandably, is a little tired of the comparisons to Yasujiro Ozu, his country's post-war master of quiet, domesticated dramas. Perhaps understandably, although by now something of a cliché, those comparisons won't go away.
Hundreds of column inches in the European and American film press have been spent outlining the ways in which Koreeda is a, if not the, spiritual successor to Ozu: the "wayward elder son", "Ozu's heir", the old master's "inheritor".
These arguments fail to understand a number of key differences between the two filmmakers' conceptions of Japan. For Ozu, his country was on a fast-paced, if sometimes confusing, journey into the future. For Koreeda, Japan is a stagnant society held together as much by its mythic past as any hope for tomorrow. His 1995 debut, Maborosi, makes that much clear.
Yumiko (Makiko Esumi) is a well-to-do Osaka mother with a months-old son, faithful husband Ikuo (Tadanobu Asano), and a seemingly stable life. But memories of her grandmother, who Yumiko as a child allowed to run away to her death, still haunt her dreams. "I'm not your grandma's reincarnation", Ikuo tells her wearily one night. "Go back to sleep."
Little does he know. One day, Yumiko is visited by a police officer who says that, on his way home from work, Ikuo walked into a moving train. Yumiko's grief is outweighed only by her puzzlement. Ikuo showed no apparent signs of depression or disillusionment. It's possible that he fell victim to Japan's so-called Lost Decade of economic standstill, in which the country's newfound prosperity waned and the suicide rate shot upwards. Nevertheless, Yumiko must adjust to the prospect of remarrying a kindly widowed father, and a world in which the ones she loves keep disappearing without explanation.
Koreeda's films have since Maborosi been better regarded for their solemn tone more than any plot particularities. Indeed, his most recent Japanese film, Shoplifters, began production without an ending or a script. But Maborosi is based on a novel (by author Teru Miyamoto), and so the broader theme of grief isn't all that propels the film, even if Koreeda's more recent works have been a little more on-message.
That's not to say there's anything incoherent or muddled about Koreeda's debut, which is atypically well-organised for a director's first narrative effort. The same is true of his craft: Koreeda seems to have figured out exactly how he wants the camera to interact with his character – or, more truthfully, how to leave them alone. Roger Ebert wrote aptly in his review, "the camera does not move, but regards."
There is an important hint at some of the differences between the Maborosi director and Ozu, whose films Koreeda has repeatedly told interviewers he "doesn't understand", preferring comparisons with Ken Loach. Ebert's observation is supported by the passivity of Koreeda's direction, which goes small on close-ups and is reluctant to suggest the inner thoughts of his characters; like Yumiko, we are left only to guess. As Anne Smiley famously asked her husband at the end of John Le Carré's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, "Life's a puzzle to you. Isn't it, George?"
To Ozu and his characters, such mysteries are of little interest. His characters are primarily explorers of their feelings and desires, and we accompany them on those journeys. In the case of Tokyo Story, youngest daughter Kyoko (Kyoko Kagawa) delivers her heartbreaking sentiment, "Isn't life disappointing?" right above the lens. We're lucky in a Koreeda film to see two characters even sitting across from each other. Particularly in Maborosi, he prefers to block side-to-side, while the actors stare into the distance and take it all in. "Maborosi" translates to "trick of the light", the effect of seeing something that doesn't exist quite as it appears, unknowably. The painful unknowability of Ikuo's suicide – a feeling familiar to anyone who has lost a loved one in such a way – is carried further by the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty Koreeda set out to portray in Maborosi. As Yumiko asks at the film's emotional climax, "Once I start thinking about it, I can't stop. Why do you think he did it?" Her new husband Tamio tells her one of the most tragic truths there is: "I think it can happen to anyone."
What's also true of that scene is the darkness in which Koreeda and cinematographer Masao Nakabori bathe Yumiko and Tamio. In great contrast to Ozu, who typically lit his interiors brightly and built makeshift neon signs to light up a rare establishing shot, grey is the new black for much of Maborosi. In his influential essay "Sunny Skies", critic Hasumi Shigehiko notes the stark lightness of even Ozu's most melancholy set-ups – an intentional diversion from Japan's year-round rainy weather. "There is no ambiguity in Ozu's films to blur the outlines of things", Shigehiko writes. "He is a broad-daylight director: rather than subtle nuances, he adheres to an excess of clarity." Koreeda is always unclear, sometimes frustratingly so. Subtle nuances and seconds-long expressions of lifetimes of feeling are his main interest. The grey skies and the pitch-black rooms of Maborosi are his clearest visual mission statement of that intention.
Christine Marran, professor of modern Japanese literature and film, took that point further in a . She writes, "In the excessive clarity of Ozu's films is revealed an extremely objective point of view." Although I wouldn't go so far as to doubt the sophistication of Ozu's films, what's clear of Koreeda's impressive debut is that visual murkiness will indeed serve to illustrate the greyness of his characters' feelings and motivations. The single biggest difference between Ozu and Koreeda is that the former filmmaker was never interested in greyness, and so never showed it to us. Maborosi is a searing exhibit of quite the opposite, with all the uncomfortable unclarity of human relations that goes with it. It's no wonder that Koreeda used to make documentaries.
Thankfully, Maborosi isn't one. 25 years after it first played on Europe's film festival circuit, Koreeda's compelling arrival remains a feather in the director's cap, a poignant and incisive look at grief and confusion in an era where both flourished. (What changes?) Comparing Hirokazu Koreeda to Ozu will never be an insult. But it seems never to have been particularly close to the truth.
Maborosi will be released on Blu-ray via BFI on Monday 20 July

Because of the constantly increasing cost of medical care and the large number of people who don't have insurance, the availability of a free health clinic is vital to the health and well-being of many areas of the United States.
How efficient is your healthcare process? If your family of four has a total of ten different daily medications and you are constantly running to the pharmacy at different times to pick them up you are likely not that efficient.


In some countries thirteenth grade or grade thirteen is or was the final year of secondary school.
The Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) (French: Cours préuniversitaire de l'Ontario or CPO) was a fifth year of secondary school education designed for students preparing for post-secondary education that previously existed in the province of Ontario, Canada. The OAC curriculum was codified by the Ontario Ministry of Education in Ontario Schools: Intermediate and Senior (OS:IS) and its revisions. The Ontario education system had five years of secondary education, the fifth year known as "grade 13" from 1921 to 1988. Then grade 13 was replaced in 1984 by the OAC for students starting high school (grade 9). The OAC continued to act as a fifth year of secondary education until it was phased out in 2003.
In Germany, students wishing to take the Abitur usually had to attend a thirteenth grade, but most states are shortening the Gymnasium (the university-bound secondary school system in Germany) from nine to eight years.


Basic introduction to LQR Control. The current text is largely based on the document "Linear Quadratic Regulator" by MS Triantafyllou.
The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is a well-known method that provides optimally controlled feedback gains to enable the closed-loop stable and high performance design of systems.
which essentially means that full state feedback is available (all n states are measurable).
where xref represents the vector of desired states, and serves as the external input to the closed-loop system. The "A-matrix" of the closed-loop systems is (A−BK), while its B−matrix is BK. The closed-loop system has exactly the same amount of inputs and outputs -n. The column dimension of B equals the number of channels available in u, and must match the row dimension of K. Pole-placement is the process of placing the poles of (A−BK) in stable, suitably-damped locations in the complex plane.
$ \lambda _^T (t_f) = \psi _x (x(t_f)).
The evolution of λ is given in reverse time, from a final state to the initial. Hence we see the primary difficulty of solving optimal control problems: the state propagates forward in time, while the costate propagates backward. The state and costate are coordinated through the above equations.
For a given x0, pick a control history u(t).
Propagate x˙=f(x,u,t) forward in time to create a state trajectory.
Evaluate ψx(x(tf)), and propagate the costate backward in time from tf to t0.
At each time step, choose δu=−K(Lu+λTfu), where K is a positive scalar or a positive definite matrix in the case of multiple input channels.
Go back to step 2 and repeat loop until solution has converged.
The first three steps are consistent in the sense that x is computed directly from x(t0) and u and λ is computed from x and x(tf). All of δJ¯ except the integral with δu is therefore eliminated explicitly. The choice of δu in step 4 then achieves δJ¯<0 unless δu=0, in which case the problem is solved.
Static Gain: The LQR generates a static gain matrix K, which is not a dynamical system. Hence, the order of the closed-loop system is the same as that of the plan.
Robustness: The LQR achieves infinite gain margin.
Output Variables: When we want to conduct output regulation (and not state regulation), we set Q=CTQ′C.

I need some help with my Samsung galaxy S6 Edge, since the new android 7 update I have had nothing but problems. Including black screen and random reboot. I tried to flash my phone back to android 6 but this failed. So I used Samsung recovery to recover my phone. when the phone turned back on the screen was completely black. but it was on voice description as when I touched the screen it would tell me what I was pressing.
The screen doesn't work in recovery mode or download mode either.
Welcome to Android Central! What Samsung recovery program did you use?
I have an unknown notification that occurs every few minutes on my Gallaxy S6.

Dorothy Graham Gast
We were blessed to grow up next door to Grandpa and Grandma in Romulus, Alabama. The added wisdom of the older generations made our lives richer and fuller.
Romulus, Alabama
John Crawford Graham was my grandpa. He was the only man I know who wore a mustache in the 1940's. He was jolly, always joking and teasing even though he was completely deaf and communicated by reading lips.
All the children at Romulus School next door knew that they had to use signs and exaggerated lip movements when they talked to him. He was a regular spectator at sports events and our greatest fan. But if he did not want to know what you were saying he would simply turn his head.
We learned about his ancestors and ours from family research by Lyman Graham, my father's brother.
Immigrated from Ireland
" The original Graham of our line was William Graham, who with his wife immigrated to America with a group of other Scotch-Irish in 1701 sailing from Dublin, Ireland and landing at Boston. They were descended from a Scottish clan, forcibly ejected from Scotland to North Ireland about 100 years before.
The Graham family moved to NJ, Pennsylvania, and Virginia before settling in North Carolina. prior to 1769.
The Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol IV states that William Graham went with his family to NC and then to Green Co., KY about 1792-95.
Among his descendants was a grandson, William (Mentor) Graham, the schoolteacher who taught and befriended Abraham Lincoln at New Salem, Ill.
Mrs. John Hixson, Vaneta, of Piedmont, Mo., told about the great uncle William Graham who was a Baptist preacher. He divorced his wife, a practice much frowned upon especially for a preacher. For him to marry again was unheard of, so he was called before a church council to explain.
Just a bunch of foot warmers
He boldly stated," I have poor circulation and my feet get terribly cold at night. I just had to have someone to keep my feet warm." Mrs. Hixon said "And the women in this family have had to live with that for the last hundred years- just a bunch of foot warmers.' "
Grandpa's love for children was universal and usually grandchildren or great grandchildren followed him around. My oldest daughters, Marilyn and Donna, became his shadows. Nearly every day, he loaded the car to go to the store and buy a round of carbonated drinks (he called them "dopes") for everyone. If none of the family children were available, he might stop at the home of the nearest black family and take their children down for a treat.
When President Truman ordered military units desegregated, Grandpa was furious. He was sure that this would lead to the breakdown of the services. Yet – one day after a summer rain, one of the grandchildren noticed a body floundering in the muddy gravel road. A black man with no arms had fallen and was muddy from trying to get up. Grandpa carried him to the house; washed him up, put some of his own clean clothes on him, and drove him home. We learned that callous words could not hide his tender heart.
Grandma often fussed at him because when the two of them had only a pension, he gave to anyone who asked him and often his pension check was gone the day he received it. Many people still thought of him as the rich employer the years before his sawmills and store went bankrupt.
Birthdays were special
Birthdays were special in the Graham family. Grandma often told me when I was a child that celebrating birthdays helped keep families close and in touch. She mentioned other families who never seemed to have closeness.
Grandpa loved parties, especially his own. In his last years the opening of birthday cards were highlights and he bragged for months about the money he got. In celebration he would stand on his head or dance a jig, even when he was in his 80s.
On Sunday afternoon Grandma began studying the Sunday School lesson for the next week in the adult class she taught for 40 years. She would read the scriptures out loud to any of the children who were there and talk about the lesson. Then every night she would go over it before she went to bed. It gave her a chance to meditate on it all week and us a head start on our own lesson. When we helped shell peas or snap beans, she talked about the Bible and its application to everyday life.
Most of the time she walked
Most of the time she walked the half-mile to church, but Grandpa would take her if she asked or if the weather was bad. We knew she loved us, but she did not show a lot of affection. We also knew she had high standards of behavior for us and usually a look in our direction would settle down any inappropriate behavior.
We were blessed to grow up next door to Grandpa and Grandma. The added dimensions of the older generations made our lives richer and fuller.
Reunions were fantastic. Kinfolks from all over came bringing baskets, boxes, and bowls of food. Kids all over the farm, the men looked for shady places to talk, and the women gathered in the kitchen to catch up on news, get the food ready and admire the newest baby.
The round oak table would be extended to its fullest, then supplemented by other tables. The sideboard was the depository for the desserts — chocolate cakes, pecan pies, peach cobblers, and banana puddings. A kid could dream for weeks.

Already in April 1909, Inter began to conduct its first trainings on the field chosen for this purpose in the west of Porto Alegre, in the Ilota region in RuaArlindo. These training sessions, consisting mainly of sparring matches with two teams, continued until mid-July. Finally, the Pope Brothers, who led the entire training process, decide that it is time to test the strength of the team in the game with a worthy opponent. The choice fell on "Gremio", to whom an official invitation was sent to hold a friendly match. Naturally, no one then imagined that this would be the beginning of the great rivalry between the two clubs.
The game, which hosted the Windmills area (BairroMonhos de Ventro), was scheduled for July 18, 1909. The Poppe brothers themselves chose the lineup for the first game of the club: Luis Poppe, ClitoPortella, Simone, Vignoles, Pires, Wetternich, Joao Poppe, Horacio, Cesar, Mendonsa, Carvalho. Of all these players, only one player-defender ClitoPortella, who moved to Porto Alegre from Rio a year earlier and played for Fluminense for two years, had a real experience of holding matches at the highest level.
The debut was terrifying. "Gremio", which at that time consisted mainly of German players, completely outplayed Colorados, preventing "Inter" players from even moving to their half of the field. Forwards "Gremio" Edgar Booth and Julio Grunewald tore the entire debutant defense. The episode in the second half was the apotheosis of Inter's humiliation: goalkeeper GremioGuilhermeCallfelz got tired of just standing at the gate and watching the events at the Inter's penalty from afar, and he calmly went to the sideline to talk with friends who were watching the game. 0: 10 – this is the sad result of the debut match "Inter", this was the beginning of GreNala.
In fairness it must be said that the players and the leadership of "Inter" treated this humiliation in the most serious way. The team began to work out with more effort, and the Popp brothers all the time tried to attract new players to the team (In 1911 Enrique Pope managed to persuade three players of Santana do Livramento, Mita Avila, Simão and Felizardo, to go to Inter, and in 1912 th year and the brother of Avila-Benjamin Bendionda Avila, who together with Vignoles and Kluwe became the basis of the first team of the club). By the end of 1909, it was decided to hold a number of friendly matches. And here, towards Inter, the newly created club, formed on the basis of a military college, the Militar Sport Club, also went. In September-November 1909, Inter and Militar played three games in a row, the results of which were much more successful for Colorados: a draw of 0: 0 was recorded on September 7, and on October 10, Inter celebrated its first victory in history: 2: one. The author of the first goal of Inter was Mejia Benjamin Vignoles (Carlos Moreira spent the second). The third game "Inter" lost 1: 2.
In 1910, after the creation of the first football league in the city (Liga de Porto-Alegrense de Foot-Ball), initiated by Gremio and Inter (the Poppé brothers), city championships began to take place. In the first of them (7 clubs participated in it) "Inter" takes the 3rd place. His first company, Colorados, began with a convincing victory over "Nacional de Porto Alegre" 5: 0, but then with the same score lost to Baixad "Gremio" 0: 5. In the remaining games, Colorados won three more times – 5: 0 "Sete de Setembro", 2: 1 "Fass-Ball" and 7: 2 "Frish-Auff", and lost 1: 3 to "Militaru" (which won the first city championship).
In 1911, Inter will already be the 2nd in the city championship, but will lose its 3rd Gre-Nal 1:10 (Vinyoles will be the author of the first Inter ball in the history of Gre-Nalov). Then, in August 1912, Colorados will hold their first matches outside Porto Alegre: in San Leopoldo, they will face off with the local GinasioConceicao club and lose 1: 4. But a month later, take a revenge in Porto Alegre 2: 1. In 1912 (for the first time the city championship will be held in two circles) Inter will again be the 2nd, losing only to Gremio. Two Gra-Nala will be lost 0: 6 and 1: 2 (goal scored by Galvro), but the second game was played for the first time in an equal fight. By this time, the team will be joined by two strikers, Francisco Varesh and Bendionda Avila: together with Vignoles and Kluwe, they will be the striking force of the club of these years. On August 11, in the match of the 2nd round, "Inter" will achieve the biggest victory for itself today – with a score of 16: 0, "Nacional de Porto Alegre" will be beaten Tulio-3, Klyuve and Scabilion-one by one).
Now consider one of the latest and most important matches of the Gre-Nal series. It was the match of 2018. Then the fans witnessed a confrontation, which is part of the old Brazilian club competition and is called Gre-Nal. This name was invented by the Gremio fan back in 1926, and it came from the merger of the first letters of Gremio and the ending of Internacional. Both clubs represent the city of Porto Alegre. Last year, at a time when Internacional sought to return to the Brazilian elite, Gremio performed well in Serie A. The Musketeers led by coach Renato Gaucho won the Libertadores Cup (main South American club tournament).
Gremio worthily spent the world club championship, where in the final with the minimum score (0: 1) he lost to Real Madrid. That year, the "immortals" continued to successfully perform at this tournament, they confidently took first place in the group stage, but struggled through to the quarterfinals. They beat the Argentine Estudiantes in the 1/8 final thanks to a better performance after the match penalties. In all 4 home games of the tournament, the "Musketeers" won, but in the away matches they were not so bright, having won only one victory over a clearly weak opponent. In the previous round of Serie A, the "immortal" away tied with "Santos" away. This result is fully consistent with the game. With 41 points, "Gremio" ranked 5th in the table.
After 23 rounds, Internacional led the standings. It is hard to believe in it, because in 2017, the "Colorados" performed in the B Series, and they returned to the elite, taking second place there, followed by "America MG". At the beginning and in the middle of the year nothing foretold such a breakthrough of the team. Unsuccessfully, the "Reds" performed in the Gaushu championship (Rio Grande do Sul state championship), where they dropped out of the race in the quarter finals, losing to the rival in the sum of two fights (2-0 and 0-3). And in the Brazilian Cup, Inter performed poorly, in the 1/16 of the final, he lost to Vitoria. Colorados did not take part in international competitions, so they were fully focused on the national championship. In the previous round, the "red" houses outplayed one of the strong teams of Serie A – Flamengo (2: 1). Having taken the initiative to his rival, Inter achieved success thanks to counterattacks.
In the Brazilian Championship, Gremio was played at the same level as last season, but confidence was lost in guest fights. In the previous 8 matches of all tournaments, the "Musketeers" were able to win only the weakly played Corinthians (1: 0). At the same time 5 of these fights ended for them unsuccessfully. Equally important is the fact that Inter's players have one more day of rest on the eve of the upcoming fight, they also have the advantage that the Reds held the previous meeting at home, but Gremio again entered the field in less than three times. .
Between themselves, these teams had a huge number of meetings – 412, 155 wins scored the "Reds", their rival excelled in 128. In the first round, the in-person match between the teams ended in a goalless draw. Together, the teams spent just three shots on target, and there were a lot of yellow cards – seven. Gremio then sacrificed the result of the match with "Santos", acting as a semi-reserve team. Two extreme defenders, Moura and Cortez, and the attackers Luan, Everton, Jael, and Maicon did not hit the meeting request. These are the performers on whom a lot depends on the attacking actions of the team. All this was done to ensure that the "Musketeers" were fresh in the Gre-Nal.
The victory of Gremio outwardly looked very tinned, in fact. The problems of Internacional in this match, in my opinion, grew out of extremely concentrated individualism in the team. It was also a splinter football, but in this case it is appropriate to use a similar epithet in a different sense. Inter players played more time according to the formula: "Give me one, I will show them!" out of interaction, out of mutual position. A kind of quilt made and cut out of everything that was in the house. "Red" lacks a single vector, a kind of common intention — specific moments often turn out to be incomplete, half-hearted, without logical conclusion. Against this background, Gremio was notable for coherence of the game mechanism. No, Gremio played tight, making the most of his own advantages, his own teamwork. And even the fact that Celso Roth wards missed the first, did not break the general scheme – the team did not fall on the backless assault. Maybe it sounds a bit primitive, but Gremio, by and large, just managed to play his game, his dynamics, his football. It was productive.

Homeland 2004 - pt. 2
click image "Winston Smith" knew the official story, yet the most disturbing feature of the official story was the US government's response to these events, or better said lack of response.
Initial reports said no aircraft were scrambled to intercept or shoot down the hijacked jets, 2 days later the story changed. Both an Air Force General and a spokesman for NORAD then claimed that Jets were scrambled after the Pentagon was hit, even tough they were alerted by the FAA to a hijacking 10 minutes before the first tower was hit, the US inaction is more astonishing when the NORAD representative admitted that "fighters routinely intercept aircraft." FAA intercept procedures for hijacked aircraft were in place before the Homeland attack, between September 2000 and June 2001 the US military launched fighter aircraft on 67 occasions to chase suspicious aircraft. It is US legal requirement that once an aircraft has moved off its flight plan, fighter planes are sent up to investigate. Why was there such a slow reaction? The first hijacking was suspected at no later than 8:20 am and the last hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania at 10:06 am, yet not a single fighter plane was scrambled to investigate from the US Andrews Air Force base, just 10 miles from Washington DC, until after the third plane had hit the pentagon at 9:38 am. Why not? Was this inaction simply the result of key people disregarding, or being ignorant of procedure? If so why are there no reprimands or terminations? Or could US air security operations have been deliberately stood down, if so why? On whose authority?
Winston discovered that a document from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff dated June 1, 2001 was issued concerning procedure for hijacked aircraft, this document superseded all previous protocol. It states "In the event of a hijacking, the NMCC will be notified by the most expeditious means by the FAA. The NMCC will, with the exception of immediate responses as authorized by reference D, forward request for DOD assistance to the Secretary of Defense for approval."
Reference D, refers to Department of Defense directive 3025.15 (FEB. 18, 1997), Which allows for commanders in the field to provide assistance to save lives in an emergency situation-BUT any request providing " potentially lethal support" must still be approved by the Secretary of Defense. That would be Donald Rumsfeld.
Winston then looked at a story that is hardly spoken about in the main stream press, the story of manipulators with inside information who made huge profits on sophisticated trades as the stocks of airline and insurance companies plummeted in the aftermath of the attack on the Homeland. The inside information was so precise that experts have concluded that it could only have come from those that masterminded the terror attacks. This money trail is the closest investigators have come to a "smoking gun" and could lead directly to those who planned the attacks. But with the notable exception of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga), Congress has yet to demand a thorough and open investigation. In the days preceding and following the terror attacks, suspicious and unusual stock trading activity indicated that people used inside information to make huge profits. The money made from the trades done with apparent inside information has been estimated at up to $15 billion worldwide. European reporters found that most of the suspicious pre-attack trades passed through Deutschebank and especially via Alex Brown's investment division by means of a procedure called portage, which assures the anonymity of individuals making the transactions. The lead hijacker and two accomplices had bank accounts at its Hamburg branch. But more importantly The former Alex Brown division head, is the current executive director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. The CIA does have "real time" stock trade monitoring. Congress has not publicly revealed whether they will call Krongard and other Alex Brown traders to testify in open hearings, or whether they will subpoena pre-attack documents in question.
"This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you've ever seen in your entire life...this would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence," Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg Business News commenting on the situation. No US or foreign agency has announced arrests or developments in the investigation of these trades, the most telling evidence of foreknowledge.
Winston was then shocked to learn that there was strong evidence that Israeli intelligence operatives engaged in clandestine dealings on American soil and almost certainly had advance knowledge of the attack on the Homeland. Winston learned that a number of Israeli nationals were taken into custody by federal authorities after the attack on the Homeland, and were suspected of having material knowledge relative to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. These Israeli agents may have gathered intelligence about the attacks and not shared it. The probability that the Israeli Mossad learned of the attack on the Homeland looms large with the fact that no Israeli citizen was a victim of the disaster, and the report that Israeli citizens were forewarned. Why were US officials not informed, or were they?
Winston then came to question who, really carried out the attacks. 26 intelligence services in the US with a budget of $30 billion couldn't see this attack coming, yet within 48 hours the FBI comes up with a list of all the hijackers. But astonishingly ten days later reports start emanating of some of these supposed suicide bombers are still alive. One of these men (living in Casablanca, Morocco) even went to the press and the American and Saudi authorities protesting his innocence. Winston then sees after seven months of non-stop declarations by the US government that there exists solid proof that these 19 men carried out the attack on the homeland, the FBI director admits the opposite, he admits that they left no "paper trail", and that they have found no evidence of their "Actual plotting". And yet the mainstream media continues to parade these men as solely responsible.
Winston then begins to investigate the supposed leader of the attack on the Homeland, this Osama bin Laden and what he finds is not what the main stream press, reports he finds the opposite.

Uganda is on the equator and has a tropical climate with wet seasons and dry seasons. We've chosen December for the event because that's the very beginning of the dry season. That should mean we won't get much rain, but it also won't be unbearably hot and dry, our surroundings will still be green and lush.
At this time of year the days are sunny and hot, with temperatures rising to high 20s (degrees C), and the evenings are cool. The sun rises at 7am and sets at 7pm.
Your ride will cover 100km and two very different climates. Down in the valley the air is hot and still, rain is unlikely. Up around the Lodge, the altitude means the air is cooler, there is more vegetation and a higher chance of rain (but still a low chance at this time of year). If it does rain, the local clay tracks may become slippery but water drains incredibly quickly from them.
You will be exposed to the sun for a long time, wear sunscreen and dress appropriately for a warm ride.
Wear clothes appropriate for hot weather. Bring waterproofs just in case and warmer layers for the evenings. There is a lake that is safe for swimming and a swimming pool too, so don't forget your bathing suit.
If you are travelling to other parts of Uganda, women are often expected to keep their thighs covered (long shorts, knee-length skirts or trousers or example). Fort Portal is a liberal part of Uganda so that's not necessary on this trip.


A man who plunged to his death from a unit balcony today was planking, and police fear it will not be the last death due to the new social craze.
Planking involves participants laying flat on their stomach in different and sometimes dangerous settings and sharing photographs of their efforts with fellow plankers, particularly on social media sites such as Facebook.
The man, aged in his early 20s, fell from the balcony of a unit in the inner-city Brisbane suburb of Kangaroo Point and died at the scene shortly before 4.30am.
Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said the man had been trying to lie on the balcony rail when he fell.
He said the man and another person had been planking in various spots on their way home from a night out.
"He has tragically lost his footing and fallen to the ground below," Mr Barnett said.
"It is what we've been fearing."
The deputy commissioner said he did not know whether it was Australia's first death from the recent craze.
However, he feared it would not be the last as plankers tried to out-do each other in more and more dangerous places.
"Police fear that as planking gains popularity there may be more injuries and, potentially, further deaths," Mr Barnett said.
He warned plankers they would be charged if they tried the fad in dangerous locations.
A 20-year-old man was issued with a court appearance notice for trespass when he was found planking on a police car in Gladstone, Queensland, last week.
"Accepting a risk of injury for yourself is one thing, but the potential is there for others to be injured as a result of your behaviour," Mr Barnett said.
"But no penalty will ever return this young man to his family and friends.
"This is a tragedy and our condolences go to the family."

Q: Can any one suggest any encryption decryption algorithm which interop between c and c# Can any one suggest any encryption algorithm which interop between c and c# means encrypt in c language and decrypt in c# & vice versa

A: Use something like AES available under System.Security.Cryptography.
You can find an example of using it under C# here - Using AES encryption in C#
When deriving IV and SALT you might find this utility class useful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rfc2898derivebytes.aspx
I cannot directly answer the C/C++ side, however trawling SO posts there's plenty of answers such as: encrypt- decrypt with AES using C/C++

A: i have used Rijndael algo but in c# it requires salt but in c it doesn,t
You can simply re-write the C  code in C# as basic operators will not change.
Use pinvoke wherever neccessary.

2020 saw many exciting astronomical events from the great conjunction to meteor showers. Stargazers in 2021 can look forward to an even more impressive lineup of events from supermoons, lunar eclipses, meteor showers as well as a total solar eclipse.
While some of these events such as the full moon and the supermoon can be viewed from anywhere in the world, this year's total solar eclipse can be seen only in Antarctica.
You may use the calendar to plan your trip to dark sky areas for better chances of viewing meteor showers.
2021 Astronomical Calendar
January 3 | Quadrantid Meteor Shower – Named for a now-obsolete constellation called the Quadrans Muralis, the Quadrantids originate from an asteroid 2003 EH1. This annual shower usually runs from the end of December to the second week of January.
January 10 | Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury in conjunction – The three planets Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn will fall within a circle of diameter less than 5-degrees. Saturn will lie two degrees to Mercury's right and Jupiter, two degrees above them.
January 28 | Full Moon
February 27 | Full Moon
March 28 | Full Moon
April 21-22 | Lyrid Meteor Shower – The Lyrid meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the cloud of debris left in the orbit of Comet Thatcher(C/1861 G1)
April 26-27 | Full Supermoon – A super moon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is at its closest distance (perigee) to the earth. Supermoon in April is named the Super Pink Full Moon.
May 6 | Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower – Originating from the debris of Comet Halley, the Eta Aquarids occurs annually between April 19 and May 28. The showers are named after, Eta Aquarii, the brightest star of the Constellation Aquarius, its apparent radiant point.
May 26 | Full Supermoon and Total Lunar Eclipse – The eclipse will be visible from East Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas. Supermoon in May is known as the Super Flower Moon.
June 10 | Annular Solar Eclipse – The Eclipse will be visible from northern North America, Europe, and Asia
June 24 | Full Moon
July 23 | Full Moon
July 27-28 | Southern Delta Aquarid Meteor Shower – These faint showers are active from mid-July to late-August and are believed to originate from comet 96P/Machholz. The radiant point of Delta Aquariids appear to come from the constellation Aquarius, the shower is named after the third brightest star within the constellation called Delta.
August 12 | Perseid Meteor Shower – Occurring annually from mid-July to mid-August, the Perseid Meteor Shower occurs when the debris cloud of comet Swift-Shuttle hits Earth's atmosphere. The showers are so-called because they appear to originate from the constellation Perseus.
August 22 | Full Moon
August 31 | Aurigid Meteor Shower – The Aurigid Meteor Showers originate from comet C/1911 N1 (Kiess).
September 20 | Full Moon
October 20 | Full Moon
November 19 | Full Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse – The Eclipse will be visible from the Americas, northern Europe, East Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.
December 4 | Total Solar Eclipse – The Eclipse will be visible from Antarctica, southern Africa, and the southern Atlantic. The total phase of the eclipse will only be visible in Antarctica
December 14 | Geminid Meteor Shower – These annual showers, caused by asteroid 3200 Phaethon, are named thus since they showers appear to radiate from a point in the constellation Gemini.
December 18 | Full Moon

Taking the Leap to Fight Hunger: Expanding Footprints in India
The cause of 'food for education' urgently needs a boost and Akshaya Patra is expanding its reach across the country to achieve this. With its mission — 'No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger' — the Foundation is marching ahead to erase classroom hunger in India. The role of NGOs in India — to bring about social betterment — is fulfilled by the Foundation in partnership with State and Central governments in India. Its current reach of over 1.6 million beneficiaries, who receive a wholesome mid-day meal every day, is set to take a big leap.
In 2016, the Foundation established its presence in Maharashtra by launching its very first kitchen in the state in Nagpur. In Andhra Pradesh, it added two more kitchens — at Kakinada and Mangalagiri. In neighbouring Telangana, Akshaya Patra laid the foundation stone for its first high-tech mega kitchen at Khandi in Telangana. Come the next academic year, this kitchen will feed more than 1,00,000 children in the region and its construction cost will be borne by the Infosys Foundation, which has donated for education in India by making a contribution of Rs 18.03 crore towards the Foundation for this project.
December 2016 also saw the Foundation set the stage for a major expansion in Uttar Pradesh. It will set up 11 new kitchens in the state in the districts of Varanasi, Ghaziabad, Agra, Allahabad, Kanpur, Etawah, Kannauj, Ambedkar Nagar, Azamgarh, Rampur and Ballia. Shri Akhilesh Yadav, Honourable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (UP), performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the same, on December 26, 2016 at Lok Bhavan, New Secretariat, Lucknow. These new kitchens will expand the Foundation's reach to 13 lakh beneficiaries in UP from 2,11,680 children it is presently feeding, benefitting 10,88,320 more children from the next academic year.
To reach out to millions more children in the country and aid their quest for education via nutritious mid-day meals, the Foundation needs the support of all the individuals committed to eradicating classroom hunger. Join Akshaya Patra in nourishing the health and furthering the education of India's children by making a donation towards it. These donations also avail donors tax exemptions under sections 35AC and 80GGA of the Income Tax Act.
Help secure the future of India's children. Support 'unlimited food for education'!

Small molecule targets cause of adult onset muscular dystrophy
Researchers developed a small molecule that, in mice, blocks the mutated RNA responsible for adult onset muscular dystrophy.
The findings suggest a new avenue to develop therapeutics for this condition.
Myotonic dystrophy is caused by mutant DNA that results in toxic messenger RNA. ktsimage / iStock / Thinkstock
Muscular dystrophy includes over 30 inheritable diseases. These are characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles. Some types of muscular dystrophy appear in childhood, while others may not appear until adulthood.
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of adult onset muscular dystrophy. People with this disorder experience a delay in relaxing their muscles after using them. Type 1 usually affects the lower legs, hands, neck, and face; whereas, type 2 typically affects the neck, shoulders, elbows, and hips. They are caused by mutations in different genes.
Type 1 is caused by a mutation in the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) gene. This mutation causes three nucleotides, CTG, to repeat multiple times in the gene's DNA. Most people have between 5 to 34 CTG repeats in this gene; however, people with type 1 myotonic dystrophy have from 50 to 5,000.
These extra repeats result in a toxic messenger RNA (mRNA) that traps proteins and forms clumps within cells. This interferes with many important proteins that regulate muscle gene products, leading to serious defects in the muscle cells.
To test whether a small molecule could target the altered RNA and block it from trapping proteins, a team led by Dr. Matthew Disney at Scripps Research Institute carried out experiments in muscle cells taken from patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and a mouse model of the disease. The research was supported in part by NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and an NIH Director's Pioneer Award. Results were published online on March 29, 2019, in the Proceedings of the National Academies.
The researchers designed a small molecule to specifically target the altered RNA's 3D structure, which folds into a hairpin shape. They first tested its activity in cells taken from patients with myotonic dystrophy. The molecule, called Cugamycin, cleaved 40% of the DMPK mRNA in cells taken from patients, but not in healthy control cells. It also reduced the mRNA's binding to MBNL1, an important protein it commonly traps, by about 30%.
The team then tested the molecule in a mouse model of myotonic dystrophy type 1 that has 250 CTG repeats. Mice were treated with Cugamycin every other day for one week. Treated mice showed 40% less of the mutated mRNA in their lower leg muscles than untreated mice. They also showed partial improvement in their ability to relax their lower leg muscles.
The toxic mRNA from the mutated DMPK gene alters the expression of 326 genes in this mouse model. Cugamycin treatment restored the normal expression of 177 of these. In an analysis of more than 15,000 other genes, the researchers found no off-target effects.
"The results suggest that our technology can be used to treat myotonic dystrophy type 1 and similar categories of inherited diseases, and without unintended, off-target effects," Disney says.
These findings demonstrate that small molecules can be designed to selectively target and destroy mutated RNA molecules that cause human disease. However, more studies are needed before this molecule could be tested in people.
