Re: What's your favourite kind of fanart? // ¿Cuál es tu tipo de fanart preferido?
Sea CG o Handpaint el 2D de ASFR es lo mejor, luego le seguiría el arte hecho en POSER.
Without contest, as this is the preferred medium of nearly all Japanese ASFRtists.
there aren't nearly enough around to make it a favourite.
Sadly, the Western-made content is, as ever, predictably mediocre in the 3D category, and all but non-existent in the 2D.
Photomanips of any sort I find to be unconvincing and completely uninteresting.
2d drawings hands down indeed. 3d is ok if done correctly.
2D original, with some preference for 2d manips, no objections to 3d original and manips.
Definitely original 2D drawings...although I think the term "hand-drawn" would be more accurate, since a good artist can at least create an illusion of 3D.
Second is a tie between 2D manips and 3D Poser stuff. Manips are a lot more common, and most (barring my own crappy ones) of them are pretty good. Some are even incredibly excellent, but those are pretty rare. Poser stuff is usually harder to find (compared to manips, at least), and most of what I do just isn't really to my taste. But some artists (such as Argo) have managed to make some pretty jaw-dropping pieces I really like, so it's got a lot of potential at least.
I'm afraid I've never been a big fan of "real" manips. Or real people, either...or reality itself, for that matter.
2D drawings, to be certain. It's what I look for most often, and it's my primary form of creative output - more often than not, my ideas to be written stay in the idea phase for the better part of eternity.

Shehu Sani to Officially Join Another Party By Tuesday
A member of the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, who resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) last Saturday may join another political party on Tuesday.
Sani, representing Kaduna Central in the upper legislative chamber, gave an indication to this effect on his Facebook page on Sunday.
The senator, who has been having a running battle with Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, wrote on his Facebook page: "This is to thank all my supporters and friends for the show of solidarity and assurances of support over my decision to exit the APC.
"I assure you that in the next two days, you will be informed of my new party, and be rest assured I will contest in the upcoming elections Insha Allah."
Sani, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Loans and Debts, may announce his defection to another party at the Senate plenary on Tuesday.
He is also expected to write formally to the leadership of the Senate about his latest political move.
Sources told journalists that Sani may join the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) as he was said to have met at the weekend in Kaduna with officials of the party in the state.
Sani had on Saturday announced his resignation from APC in a one-page letter he wrote to the party leadership in the state.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) that is currently being constructed on a total area of 491000 m2 only two kilometers north of the great pyramids of Giza will be the largest Museum in the world displaying the artifacts of only one civilization namely the ancient Egyptian civilization. In 2002 an international call for the architectural design was made and 1577 designs from 83 countries were submitted competing to propose a design that harmonizes with the historical environment and the location overlooking the Pyramids.
With sealing reaching up to 25 meters the interior of the museum provides enormous space to reflect the identity of the museum : State, kingship and eternity.
The Museum complex will include beside the museum itself a children's museum and educational facilities as well as a conference center with seating for 1000 guests and a commercial area with shops and restaurants to provide all needed services for an Egyptian family, a tourist or a conference participant to enjoy a great day at the GEM.
Egypt, recognizing the importance of providing the protection and care for its precious heritage which is an integral part of world heritage, is despite of financial difficulties shouldering the immense cost of this project reaching over one billion US Dollars with the help of generous loans from Japan to share with the world the splendors of ancient Egypt.
The grand staircase leading the visitor up to the main display galleries of the museum on the third level of the building will present huge sculptures and architectural elements from ancient Egypt giving an introduction to the main themes addressed in the museum.
A new concept for the display of the treasures of the famous king Tutankhamun reflect on the original placement of some key objects the in the tomb of the young king. Until now only about a tired of the artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun are on display in the Egyptian Museum at Tahrir. For the first time the complete over 5000 artifacts will be displayed giving new insights into the official, social and religious details during the period of this king as well as showing the lifestyle of royalty at the time.
The scenario how the objects from the tomb shall be displayed will allow the visitor to have the experience of witnessing a royal funerary procession.
The display in the rest of the chronological galleries moves away from the object oriented display to displaying comprehensive contexts well integrated in the huge spacious galleries of the museum. About 45000 artifacts will take the visitor on a journey through over 5000 years of ancient Egyptian history from Prehistoric times until the Greco-Roman periods in Egypt. In addition to this total of 50000 artifacts which will be on permanent display, including 30000 objects that have never been on display before, another 50000 artifacts will be kept in modern storage facilities easy accessible to researchers.
The well trained young Egyptian staff of the GEM has already packed and transported safely over 41000 artifacts from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and from archeological sites and storerooms all over Egypt to the state of the art labs and storerooms of the Grand Egyptian Museum Conservation Center (GEM-CC) which was inaugurated in June 2010. Skilled Egyptian conservators have done there since the conservation and restoration for over 31000 artifacts to be ready for display.

We've spoken to you often about the benefits of omnichannel, compiling best practices and true stories from our customers, and outlining the obstacles that omnichannel can help you overcome. What's noteworthy about these new findings: The data comes directly from the real-life omnichannel experiences of companies that use Zendesk. Read on for compelling insights.
When we compared omnichannel companies with those that did not integrate across channels, our data showed significantly lower first-resolution times for tickets (31 percent) and lower wait times for customers (39 percent).
Overall, we observed that companies with an omnichannel approach outperform those with limited channels or that operate channels in silos. Customers of omnichannel companies spend less time waiting, resolve their issues faster, and are less likely to require follow-ups.
Starting last year, a majority of customers who contacted support multiple times used more than one channel. This lines up with existing research on customers' evolving channel preferences—these days, customers want to be able to talk to companies using the same kinds of channels they use to talk to friends and family. Last year when we explored changing customer expectations, we found that nearly two-thirds of respondents reported being less patient with customer service than they were five years earlier.
With omnichannel, companies can keep pace with rising expectations in some key ways: by focusing on meeting customers on the channels they're already using and ensuring an efficient experience when customers do contact support. Our data indicates that companies should also pair traditional channels (like email and webform) with self-service and live channels (like chat and phone) to best align with customer preferences.
Live channels and Facebook are being adopted fastest by companies using Zendesk, outpacing the growth of email and webform in terms of the share of a support team's workload they represent. This is likely due to the fact that companies are looking to keep up with customer expectations, and customers want to be able to contact support in real time.
The growth of chat and phone support also makes sense because live channels surpass others, according to key metrics. Support tickets handled through live channels like chat and phone see higher CSAT, fewer re-opens, and faster first-resolution times.
Companies are catching on to the benefits of omnichannel—and they're already moving quickly to add channels. Both B2C and B2B companies typically launch three channels in their first month of using Zendesk, moving from standard email and webform to rolling out self-service and then live channels like chat and phone.
This movement toward adding more channels lines up with industry research. The Aberdeen Group reported that companies doubled the number of channels they use to interact with customers between 2012 and 2017.
Not all companies are going omnichannel at the same rate. B2C companies are more likely to take an omnichannel approach, as they represent the largest share of integrated omnichannel companies by target audience. B2C companies also see much higher ticket volumes, since they tend to have a bigger and more diverse customer base than B2B companies or support desks for internal use.


This website honored him in the summer of 2004 shortly before his death. Artwork, writings and links to his past are featured.
This is the obituary that appeared in the NY Times shortly after his death on September 10, 2004.
In March of 2003 as Anthony Toney approached his 90th birthday, he and his daughter, Anita had a joint retrospective at the College of Marin and this article appeared in the college newspaper.
In honor of his 90th birthday retrospective, a note appeared in the Alumni news and also makes reference to his donation of 20 paintings several years earlier.
This book by Richard Bermark includes photos of Anthony Toney, a veteran of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. He fought in this international brigade in Spain against the fascist forces led by Franco in the mid 1930's.
This gives the location and description of several murals that Anthony Toney did under the auspices of the WPA project during the 1930's in Gloversville , New York (Fulton County).
His daughter Anita spoke with a reporter about his participation in the Spanish Civil War while attending the dedication of the first national monument to the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Bridgade which was unveiled in the embarcadero of San Francisco that day.
His death was noted in Art in America in the January issue of 2005.
In 1994, Anthony Toney donated 20 paintings to Teacher's College, Columbia University where he had received a Doctorate of Art Education in 1955.
Anthony Toney is mentioned with other artists of his time as they struggled with integrating politics and art.
In its description of the New School for General Studies in New York City, Wikipedia cites Anthony Toney among its prominent faculty. He taught painting and drawing there for over 40 years.
One of several books about art and politics that mention Anthony Toney and his work.
This article refers to an exhibit of three friends and artists in 1994.
Anthony Toney was included in a list of exceptional people who died in 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle.
San Francsico Chronicle's obituary focuses on the many achievements of his life.
Anthony Toney's wife, Edna died in 1993 and was a dedicated writer, playwright, actress and activist.
Following in her father's footsteps, Anita has made her career in art. Her medium, however, is multiple plate color etchings.

Career options within accountancy and finance are plenty of. Possibilities encompass not just CPA qualified positions, but additionally accounting specialist and financial planner roles. Accounting and finance positions exist at multiple levels within most business sectors, from small charitable organizations to multinational financial service partnerships. More and more, finance jobs include possibilities for remote working.
Typically, individuals employed within accountancy or finance, provide organizations with professional advice associated with key business or financial matters. These include taxation, audit, budget projection and account preparation. Tax accounting is going to be discussed like a situation study in this particular article.
Though CPA qualification criteria vary slightly between States, multiple parallels could be attracted. Taking California for example, two pathways exist to CPA qualification. Underneath the first path, candidates must hold a bachelor's degree, including 24 semester units in accounting related subjects in addition to 24 units running a business related subjects. Candidates must pass the uniform CPA exam and ethics course, in addition to gaining 2 yrs of supervised accounting experience.
Underneath the second path (the only real path available after The month of january 2014), candidates are only needed to accomplish twelve months of supervised accountancy experience, but must, rather, complete 150 semester units (or 225 quarter units) in education.
There's a several entry routes available to individuals wanting to begin the accounting specialist qualification. For college leavers, a college departing certificate should be acquired. This certificate must include British, along with either accounting or mathematics.
Individuals applying based on certificates or diplomas must hold their certificates or diplomas in accountancy, business or business management. Degree applicants may hold levels in almost any subject. When acknowledging mature students, experience instead of educational background might be considered.
This qualification, that is a particularly popular choice for individuals wanting to re-train remotely, requires students to accomplish ten examination papers. These papers include financial accounting, management accounting, financial aspects for business, business management and knowledge systems, corporate and business law, taxation, auditing, financial analysis, advanced financial accounting and professional applications. Some exemptions might be granted.
To become certified financial planner is really a two stage process. Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree from your accredited institution (though this can be achieved as much as 5 years after sitting CFP examinations). Most generally, this really is acquired through completing a CFP board registered education program (most of which could be completed remotely on the modular basis).
CFP teaching programs cover multiple topics. Included in this are financial planning, investments, risk management, insurance planning, estate planning, retirement, communication, professional practice and ethics. Certain individuals might be exempt from finishing all, or part, from the educational element of certification, for instance, when they hold an accountant los angeles qualification or perhaps an attorney's licence.
Additionally towards the CFP educational component, everyone are needed to sit down the CFP's three part multiple choice certification examination. They're also needed to accomplish 3 years of labor experience.
Situation Study: What's Tax Accounting?
Tax accountants can frequently work at home, particularly as sole practitioners supplying professional advice to individual investors, sole traders and small companies. Because of this, tax accounting is frequently a job preferred by individuals wanting to re-establish themselves carrying out a career break in the accountancy profession.

Q: Expand date in time series using years I have the following time series
         location  date  value
          North   199001   a
          North   199203   b
          North   199402   c
          North   199506   d
          South   198005   e
          South   198304   f

I would like to extract the years and expand the rows per group to obtain something like
         location  date value
          North   1990    a
          North   1991    a
          North   1992    b
          North   1993    b
          North   1994    c
          North   1995    d
          South   1980    e
          South   1981    e
          South   1982    e
          South   1983    f

Note that I would like to repeat a value for the rows expanded that were not in the original dataset. I have been trying using lubridate and dplyr but I'm not being able to do it. Can anybody help me with this?

A: A dplyr / tidyr solution: substract the first four digits of your date column, convert to as.numeric, group_by location, complete the years per location and fill the values:
Code
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)

df %>% mutate(date = as.numeric(substr(date, 1, 4))) %>%
  group_by(location) %>%
  complete(date = full_seq(date, 1)) %>% fill(value)

Output
 1 North     1990 a
 2 North     1991 a
 3 North     1992 b
 4 North     1993 b
 5 North     1994 c
 6 North     1995 d
 7 South     1980 e
 8 South     1981 e
 9 South     1982 e
10 South     1983 f

Data
df <- data.frame(fread("location  date  value
North   199001   a
North   199203   b
North   199402   c
North   199506   d
South   198005   e
South   198304   f"))

Any News yet on Pa bill 737?
Anyone heard any news on the 737 Bill...letting us use our semis for predators?
Re: Any News yet on Pa bill 737?
Thanks bud...I was streaming the house today and they dragged their feet alday.
Hope so.....I got a nice Ar build comming along....ive been watching the Pa house for 2 weeks and im excited about the bill...but I've learned alot about our representatives....Mercy they move slow .
I just sent my local Representative an email asking for the status of the Bill. Let's see if I get an answer.
This is after the bill went to the House. IT was also pulled from the table on 9-21-16.
Gov Wolf signed the bill....from what my sources have told me.

Q: Java Interfaces type declarations for methods I have an interface which contains some arithmetic operations. I have created a class for complex numbers and it will implement the operations.
package numeric;
public interface Numeric {

    public void add();
    public void subtract();
    public void multiply();
}

My class looks something like this
package numeric;
public class Complex implements Numeric {

    private int Re, Im;
    public void add (Complex x){
        this.Re+=x.Re;
        this.Im+=x.Im;
    }
}

My methods currently have no parameters in the interface as I do not know which type to make them because I have to use the same interface for fractions also. If I put Complex when I implement them in the class it will give an error saying that the class must implement all interface methods.

A: An approach you can use is to force each Numeric sub-type convert to each other (a little like the intValue, longValue, doubleValue, etc. methods defined in Number, although the purpose is slightly different).
interface Numeric {
    public void add(Numeric other);

    public void subtract(Numeric other);

    public void multiply(Numeric other);

    public Complex toComplex();

    public Fraction toFraction();
}

This has cons and pros, one of the cons being that your interface is now bound to know all of its implementations (not sure what this is called, sealed types?)
The above can then be implemented as follows:
class Complex implements Numeric {

    private int Re, Im;

    @Override
    public void add(Numeric other) {
        Complex complex = other.toComplex();
        this.Re += complex.Re;
        this.Im += complex.Im;
    }

    @Override
    public void subtract(Numeric other) {
        Complex complex = other.toComplex();
        this.Re -= complex.Re;
        this.Im -= complex.Im;
    }

    @Override
    public Complex toComplex() {
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public Fraction toFraction() {
        //convert to fraction
        return null;
    }
    //rest of the implementation
}

Just a side note: typically, such APIs encourage immutability of data structures, so it would be advisable to change it to something like:
interface Numeric {
    public Numeric add(Numeric other);

    public Numeric subtract(Numeric other);

    public Numeric multiply(Numeric other);

    public Complex toComplex();

    public Fraction toFraction();
}

And
class Complex implements Numeric {

    private final int re, im;

    public Complex(int re, int im) {
        this.re = re;
        this.im = im;
    }

    @Override
    public Numeric add(Numeric other) {
        Complex complex = other.toComplex();
        return new Complex(this.re + complex.re, this.im + complex.im);
    }

    @Override
    public Numeric subtract(Numeric other) {
        Complex complex = other.toComplex();
        return new Complex(this.re - complex.re, this.im - complex.im);
    }

    @Override
    public Complex toComplex() {
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public Fraction toFraction() {
        //convert to fraction
        return null;
    }

    //rest of the implementation
}
