Twitter Shareholders Approve $44 Billion Musk Buyout
Twitter shareholders on Tuesday voted to approve Elon Musk's buyout of the platform.
The shareholders voted to approve Musk's $44 billion bid and to take the social media company private.
CNBC reported:
Twitter shareholders voted Tuesday to approve Elon Musk's $44 billion bid to buy the company and take it private.
The vote comes as Musk seeks to scrap the deal, casting doubt on Twitter's self-reported percentage of fake accounts and alleging the company was not as forthcoming as it should have been with its explanation of the calculation. Twitter has stood by its figure of less than 5% of monetizable daily active users being spam or fake and has said it's provided Musk plenty of information meeting the requirements of the deal.
Twitter sued Musk for allegedly breaching the agreement and the case is currently making its way through the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a trial expected to begin in mid-October.
In July Elon Musk sent Twitter a letter announcing that he was canceling the deal to purchase Twitter because Twitter had not provided information on how bots are calculated at the site. This is pertinent due to the advertising dollars based on real accounts and not bot accounts. The problem for Twitter is that it has been reporting that 5% or less of its accounts are bots.
When Musk asked for more information from Twitter on its reporting related to mDAUs and bots, Twitter did the following according to the below Twitter account:
Twitter provided a vague response
Then provided outdated data
Then offered a fake data set (not the real "firehose" of data it claimed)
Then provided a cleaned data set where Twitter had already suspended the malicious accounts.
Elon Musk in July also filed a countersuit against Twitter after the social media giant scheduled a vote on the deal after Musk canceled the purchase.
The 164-page lawsuit was filed under seal in Delaware's Court of Chancery, the New York Post reported.
Despite Elon Musk canceling his offer to purchase the company, Twitter shareholders voted on Musk's purchase of the company anyway.
The trial is set for mid-October.

J. Edgar Review
Clint Eastwood directed J. Edgar, and sometimes his movies are great, and sometimes they are too subdued, slow-paced, for most audiences. This one, however, is the former.
All I really knew about J. Edgar Hoover was that he created the FBI and he supposedly wore dresses behind closed doors. As it turns out, there's a whole lot more to this guy than those two things. Yes, I'm kidding. Sort of. Of course there's more to him than that, but certainly not when it comes to the FBI. The FBI was his life. For 48 years. Damn. That's a level of dedication that borders on the pathalogical, which is kind of an appropriate term to use in this context.
J. Edgar Hoover was indeed the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 48 years. This biopic follows him throughout that time as a man that was often feared, admired, hated and yet revered. But there were aspects of his personal life, secrets, that could have destroyed his reputation, his career, and his life.
Clint Eastwood directed J. Edgar, and sometimes his movies are great, and sometimes they are too subdued, slow-paced, for most audiences. This one, however, is the former. This film is a true biopic. It's not so much about the public events that people might know about Hoover, it's about the things that we might not know. There are stories of Hoover being a cross-dresser, that he may have been gay. These things are supposed, I imagine, becuase of the observance of factual things about him. He lived with his mother until she died, he spent a great deal of time with his right hand man, Clyde Tolson, and they were often seen holding hands in public. They even shared hotel rooms when they traveled. But Eastwood makes a point to not cheapen or sully any of this by creating any tawdry or salacious scenes in the film. Not to say that Eastwood particularly respected Hoover, but he certainly didn't seem to desire to be malicious, either.
And this is all not to say that the film doesn't follow Hoover's public career as the Director of the FBI, because it certainly does. From the beginning of the Bureau in 1924, until Hoover's death in 1972, we see his amazing accomplishments, as well as his version of many convictions of well known criminals. Covering all this time, I should say the production design is amazing. There is so much attention to detail across the board here in sets, costumes and dressing in each of the decades in J. Edgar.
The acting is wonderful. I have to say, as he gets older, Leonardo DiCaprio has become a fine, quality actor. Hoover's reputation of being exeedingly uncharismatic might make you discount DiCaprio's work here, but it is a full, three-dimensional, subtle, and convincing performance. The make up is excellent, though we know Dicaprio is not a man in his late 60's, so one is inevitably aware of it. But still, it's well done. I didn't, however, feel the make-up was quite as convincing with actor Armie Hammer playing Tolson. It was good, but somehow felt more like make-up.
There are lots of actors in J. Edgar that you'll recognize, even in small supporting roles. Naomi Watts plays Helen Gandy, Hoover's life-long personal secretary, who kept all of his secret files on everyone from Presidents to Hollywood stars. Judy Dench plays his domineering mother, who makes it clear that she will not have a son that is a "daffodil". Some other interesting appearances are Lea Thompson, Stephen Root, Josh Lucas, Dermot Mulroney and Jeffery Donovan as Robert Kennedy and Christopher Shyer as Nixon. And you what? Everybody is great.
I really liked this film. It's a great biopic – the historical aspect is informative and at its' core, it doesn't really serve to bash, or to raise up, the reputation of J. Edgar Hoover. It shows us an imperfect man with his own issues. At its' heart, this is a film about a relationship between Hoover and Tolson. This is easily four kittenhands. I suspect there may be some Oscar nominations for this one. I know it definitely makes me want to read a biography on J. Edgar Hoover. That's a pretty good endorsement, if you ask me.

Hi. I'm Neil. I didn't go to film school so I don't really have to justify any of my opinions about why I like a film or not. So there. But I worked in film for a number of years, so I have hands-on experience. That, and I've known Chris Mancini for, like, 25 years or so. It really is all who you know. :) I'm mostly, but not exclusively, a fan of sci-fi, comic book movies, horror, comedies, and weird independent films.

I've written before about how much I value Sure Start Centres. Last week, the twins and I joined a friend and her daughter at our local one for a session we hadn't been to before: Mucky Bears. The art activity for the week was marble painting.
I love how children learn through messy play; it helps them develop their creativity and imagination with a wide variety of objects, textures and materials. If I'm honest, I also love them doing the messiest of messy play somewhere where I don't have to clean it up on my own.
This particular week there was water play with various floats, coloured shaving foam piles to squidge hands into and make patterns with, a model farm complete with hay and construction toys with dried pasta and rice to make a massive mess with. They played with it all. However, the thing that really captured them was the painting with marbles.
It was referred to as 'marbling', but it wasn't the marbling that I'd done as a kid where you put inks onto water, which has washing up liquid in it, and then put a piece of paper on top to get a print. This was literally dunking and coating marbles in a choice of two paint colours, using a spoon to drop them into a tray, which they lined with coloured sugar paper, and then rolling them around the tray. The girls did a picture each independently, they did a joint one where they took it in turns at doing a layer, they did a joint one where they both did everything at the same time. They were fascinated by how different each one looked and especially fascinated by how they got lots of different greens from just their blue and yellow paints.
A really simple, but great activity; and one that I actually will try at home.
Love the pictures they have created. I'm like you in that I preferred messy play anywhere but at our house. Mine always seemed to get paint etc everywhere at home but at playgroup they walked away spotless!
I know; amazing isn't it how much mess they make at home, but not elsewhere!!


This 3-day workshop provides participants with a practical understanding of the design, analysis and optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery components and systems using the AxSTREAM® software platform.

Q: How do I include image in BootstrapVue carousel? I am trying to add an image to the img-src="" attribute of b-carousel in BoostrapVue. The image is currently saved in the asset folder.

Hello world!

Find below images of the result:

I am certain the images are correctly saved in the right location:

A: If using a loader with webpack (i.e. vue-loader, url-loader, etc), you need to ensure that the loader knows that img-src accepts a URL.
See the docs on information on how to tell the loaders to handle URL props on custom components: https://bootstrap-vue.js.org/docs/reference/images (specifically Vue Loader transformAssetUrls)

Four People Seated on a Carpet, in Front of a Backdrop of Textiles
This photograph, taken in a yurt located near the Murgab Oasis in the region of Bayramaly (present-day Turkmenistan), shows a family of the Teke ethnic group. Seated in the center is the young married son of the family. The woman on the far right is presumably his mother, while his young wife is seated to the left. All of them are dressed in colorful festive attire. The wife wears profuse costume ornaments that indicate social status. In the background are richly patterned woven carpets. (The center of the front carpet is overexposed by light.) Although nomadic in origin, part of the Teke adopted a settled existence and served as cavalry in the Russian armed forces. The image is by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863–1944), who used a special color photography process to create a visual record of the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. Some of Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs date from about 1905, but the bulk of his work is from between 1909 and 1915, when, with the support of Tsar Nicholas II and the Ministry of Transportation, he undertook extended trips through many different parts of the empire. Prokudin-Gorskii was particularly interested in recently acquired territories of the Russian Empire such as Turkestan (present-day Uzbekistan and neighboring states), which he visited on a number of occasions, including two trips in 1911. Turkestan appealed to him for its examples of traditional culture.

The Real Chrisparkle
Theatre Censorship
Uni of Northampton Student Productions
Paul Berna
Review – Simon Amstell, What is This, Royal and Derngate, Northampton, 17th November 2017
Posted on November 20, 2017 by therealchrisparkle
I'd only previously come across Simon Amstell in the fantastic TV programme Grandma's House, which Mrs Chrisparkle and I used to watch with regular and loyal expectation. Not only for Mr Amstell's contribution, but also Rebecca Front, Samantha Spiro, Linda Bassett and the late Geoffrey Hutchings were all on brilliant form. Mr Amstell also co-wrote it, so that's got to indicate that he's a bright spark. I realised he also regularly indulged in a spot of stand-up but for reasons that are too dull to mention here, we never got around to seeing him – until now.
But I'm running before I walk. As a support act, Mr Amstell has engaged the services of another bright spark, Mawaan Rizwan. As soon as I read that he would be starting the show, I instantly remembered where I had seen him before; he made a very illuminating documentary for BBC3 entitled How Gay is Pakistan? Answer: not particularly. Apparently, he's most famous for being a Youtube sensation, but of course I wouldn't know anything about that.
There's a similarity between Mr Amstell and Mr Rizwan – they're both gay. However, there the similarity ends; Mr Amstell is lugubriously gay, whereas Mr Rizwan is effervescently gay. If Alka-Seltzer could turn you gay, they would market Mr Rizwan in soluble form. But whereas a large amount of Mr A's material centres on his life as a gay man, Mr R plucks hilarious, surreal routines out of absolutely nothing, with his sexuality being largely irrelevant to the material. He rendered a full house helpless with laughter by pelting us with baby wipes, each time giving us a perfectly good reason why we deserved the pelting. He has another routine where he tries out new (silly) walks – a John Cleese for the 21st century, perhaps? Mr R's physical comedy is absolutely first rate. He was joined by the very helpful Matt from the end of Row C who then had to spend the rest of the show nursing a bundle of disparate hardware items – don't ask. He had some great material about using his boyfriend as a therapist, and he created a lovely callback regarding his previous job; get me being all comedy-technical. He had the entire theatre in hysterics, and I expect the cleaners will be hoovering up glitter for months. I thought he was brilliant.
After the interval we're back for the main event, Simon Amstell asking What is This; this being life, the world around us, the daily treadmill that governs our waking hours. Can't remember if he came up with an answer; don't think he did. Mr A has a very diffident manner of delivering his stand up; he's quiet and unassuming. Mr R bounded on stage and his body shrieked Hey Look at Me, whereas Mr A sidled on, and his body muttered Hey Please Don't Look at Me; a very interesting pairing. Mr A's material centred solely on his life experience, how he realised he was gay, and how his general awkwardness in life doesn't naturally go hand in hand with his sexuality. He had a lovely story about going to Magaluf with a bunch of mates, and how they got on; a slightly less lovely story about going to Paris to find himself as a teenager, but still with a classic punchline.
His recollections and accounts are indeed very funny, but the whole hour in his company felt like one massive group therapy session. It's as though the NHS has granted him one precious appointment to come on stage and talk about himself, to get things off his chest. Of course, most comedians spend their entire act talking about themselves – because, after all, they're the people they know best – but with Mr Amstell it does tend to feel somewhat egoistical. Not, in any way, big-headed or arrogant, in fact far from it; more in that it's totally his experiences, his thoughts, and the way life affects him. If you drew a Venn Diagram on how Mr A and the outside world interact, you'd just have a picture of him in a circle.
I did also feel that he lacks a sense of light and shade in his delivery; it's all recounted at one pace, and in one tone of voice; very much in the style of the therapeutic confessional. Much of his material turned into an analysis of his relationship with his father, which was fascinating, and wry; but you didn't feel like he'd welcome you laughing at what he was saying, because it would be quite insensitive. Having said that, there were clearly some stony-faced people in the front row who were unsettling Mr Amstell with their arm-folded frostiness. One of them made the tactical error of getting her phone out. Mr A wasn't having any of that (and quite right too!)
I don't want to give the impression that I didn't enjoy his set, because I did. It's just that after about half an hour I found that the initial smile and happy countenance that had greeted his earlier material had started to freeze on my face and I discovered that I just wasn't giving any laughter back. The smile remained, because I enjoyed hearing what he had to say, but despite my pressing F5 in my head, it wasn't getting refreshed into laughter. There are just a handful of tour dates remaining up to the end of the month, but Mr Rizwan is doing a full work-in-progress show at Contact, Manchester, on 2nd December. If you're around, that's a no-brainer.

Spielsystem

Die Baseballsaison in der Extraliga dauert vom Frühjahr bis zum Herbst. Sie besteht aus zwei Runden:

 Hauptrunde
 Play-off-Runde

In der Hauptrunde spielen die Mannschaften nach dem System "jeder gegen jeden" in Hin- und Rückspiel. Die Spiele der Extraliga finden sonntags statt. Dabei werden jeweils zwei Spiele von je sieben Innings am gleichen Tag ausgetragen.

An der Play-off-Runde nehmen die ersten vier Mannschaften aus der Hauptrundentabelle teil. Hier tritt er Erste gegen den Vierten und der Zweite gegen den Dritten an. Gespielt wird nach dem System "best of five", das heißt, im Halbfinale und im Finale werden jeweils drei Siege benötigt, um weiterzukommen beziehungsweise den Titel zu gewinnen. Auch der dritte Platz wird ausgespielt.

Der Abstieg wird unter den Mannschaften fünf bis acht nach der Hauptrunde ausgespielt. Gespielt wird hier nach dem System "best of three". Der Achte nach dieser Play-out-Runde steigt automatisch in die Liga I ab, der Siebte spielt gegen den Zweiten der Liga I um das Recht, in der Extraliga zu spielen.

Geschichte

Die Liga startete 1984. Allerdings gibt es Quellen, nach denen schon vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in Wilna ein polnisches Baseball-Team bestand. Kontakte zwischen polnischen und tschechoslowakischen Baseball-Interessierten gab es bereits in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren. 1978 wurde der polnische Baseball- und Softballverband gegründet. Als erstes offizielles Baseball-Spiel wird eine Begegnung mit der niederländischen Mannschaft Foresters Heiloo im Jahre 1983 angesehen, als diese eine Tour durch Polen machte. Im folgenden Jahr begann der Ligabetrieb.

Benched! Own Job Description Eludes Senator Tillis
As the Republican Senate has brought judicial confirmations to a standstill, refusing even to hold a hearing for Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, and confirming lower court judges at a historically slow rate, the most obvious explanation for all the obstruction has been politics: Republicans would rather spite President Obama and preserve judicial vacancies for a Republican president than ensure a fully-functioning judiciary. But for Thom Tillis, the Republican Senator from North Carolina and member of the Judiciary Committee, the problem appears to be (for better or worse) an alarming amount of misinformation, whether it be the importance of filling judicial vacancies, how bad the vacancy crisis has become under GOP leadership, or the Senate's basic constitutional duty to confirm judges.
On Wednesday, just before the Senate left for a seven-week vacation, Tillis objected to voting on slate of uncontroversial judicial nominees because, in his words, confirming judges has "nothing to do with doing our jobs." That startling claim would certainly surprise the Constitution's drafters, who wrote that the Senate must provide "advice and consent" on judicial nominations, and Democratic members were no less shocked. "I'm not sure what version of the Constitution you're reading that doesn't say confirming judges is part of your job in the United States Senate," Senator Elizabeth Warren said. Senator Mazie Hirono added, "Of course confirming judges is part of the Senate's job. In fact, only the Senate can do that." Read more

One Fewer Conservative A Liberal Court Does Not Make
Around this time last year, Supreme Court commentators were heralding what appeared to be the beginnings of a new liberal era on the Court. Among the supposed signs were decisions that saved the Affordable Care Act (once again) from a manufactured Republican challenge, and another that legalized same-sex marriage across the country. In response, we helped to curate an entire issue of The Nation magazine refuting that generalization.
Flash forward to this past week and reading the headlines was déjà vu. "[F]or the second year in a row," David Savage of the L.A. Times proclaimed, "the court tilted to the left in its major decisions." At The New York Times, a graphic displayed several conservative justices—including Justice Alito!—drifting to the ideological left. Another Times article observed that, "for the second term in a row," the Roberts Court "delivered liberal decisions at a rate not seen since the famously liberal court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren."

What People Should Know About Playing Dominos
