PREMIERE: Natasha Elise Releases Much Awaited Single "Ride Wit Me"
It's official. Fresh off a Coachella visit, rising pop singer-songwriter Natasha Elise releases her much anticipated record, the single is titled "Ride Wit Me". The young artist offers a glimpse into her world in the emotional track. She highly impresses, blending pop elements with electronic sonic textures. She rawly but softly exposes her inner core in "Ride Wit Me", by asking her lover for some reassurance regarding his intentions towards her.
"Tell Me If You Rock With Me. Tell Me If You Die For Me. Will You Really Rock With Me"
The tempo that pushes "Ride Wit Me" into the spotlight unfolds behind the glistening harmony of the vocals, which gloriously welcome us to the track before clearing out for a funky chorus that pulsates beside Natasha Elise's verses. The musical assault is softened by her heavenly vocals, which are woven into the rhythm with utmost care.
Natasha Elise has been surrounded with music since her early childhood, and never stopped expressing herself through the medium of sound, a sound that is often dynamic and fun, in contrast with her lyrics that tend to be leaning towards the darker side of her personality. Her ethereal voice and natural writing abilities, paired with a true musicality results in an astounding song, set to spark mass appreciation amongst music lovers around the world. Level up! It truly sounds like there's nothing Natasha Elise can't do.

The former TrustCo Bank Corp NY headquarters at 192 Erie Blvd. will be converted into 36 apartments and two floors of tech office space by Schenectady-based Hudson Partners Development LLC, the Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority announced Monday.
The Schenectady County Legislature is expected to vote on the sale at its meeting May 8. Sale price would be $2 million, Hudson Partners would invest another $4.5 million in the renovation.
The county acquired the building from TrustCo in 2005 for $3 million as part of a plan to improve county court facilities and relocate county offices to the building. TrustCo moved its headquarters to suburban Glenville. The county received a $500,000 credit for environmental remediation it subsequently performed.
The 2005 purchase included two parking lots that are not part of the current sale. Metroplex Chair Ray Gillen said the sale of those would produce additional revenue for the county.
The county office project never materialized and the seven-story, 78,000-square-foot building was used for storage and for workshops. It was also no longer on the tax rolls.
Hudson Partners has done a number of projects in the Capital Region, including redeveloping 200 State St. into 11 apartments and ground-floor retail and converting three floors of offices at 99 Pine St. in downtown Albany into 35 apartments. It also built 18 apartments and town homes on Union Street, with retail space on the ground floor.
"The TrustCo building is very similar to a mixed-use project now under way on Pine Street in Albany and we are excited to launch another major renovation project this time in our hometown of Schenectady, said Chris Maddalone and Seth Meltzer of Hudson Partners in a statement announcing the project.
"The TrustCo sale and renovation continues the momentum in downtown Schenectady and enhances the Erie Boulevard corridor, which is now seeing a large number of new investments," said Gillen.
Metroplex may provide a facade grant in the future but Gillen said that so far nothing has been approved.
The Erie Boulevard developments include a new downtown Amtrak station and plans for a new convenience store to replace a former Grossman's lumber store.

After providing diagnoses, doctors treat patients who are suffering from diseases and injuries. Doctors are also called physicians and they can be either medical doctors (M.D.) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.).
Both types of physicians use traditional treatment methods such as drugs and surgery, but D.O.s emphasize the body's musculoskeletal system, preventive medicine, and holistic patient care. Doctors can be primary care physicians or they may specialize in a particular area of medicine such as internal medicine, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, pediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatry, endocrinology, ophthalmology, or anesthesiology.
Since doctors are responsible for their patients' well-being, this occupation is more demanding than most. In addition to having a comprehensive knowledge of medicine, they need to be able to communicate their findings to patients who typically do not possess the same knowledge. They work with people when they are at their most vulnerable and this requires empathy in addition to the required technical knowledge.
Beyond the foundational duties and responsibilities of all doctors, each specialty in the field requires doctors to be able to perform tasks specific to those jobs. Surgeons, for example, must have the manual dexterity to perform precise operations and the stamina to spend hours at a time in the operating room.
The earnings of physicians and surgeons vary by specialty.
After undergraduate studies, becoming a doctor typically requires at least seven years—and sometimes longer—of school and training depending on the specific career path.
Education: Prospective doctors need to be accepted to an accredited medical school which typically requires completing an undergraduate pre-med program. That includes taking significant coursework in biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and general science. Medical school is a four-year program. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredits medical school programs that grant an M.D. degree. Osteopathic medical school programs (those that confer a D.O. degree) receive accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA).
Training: Medical school is followed by a residency training program that typically lasts anywhere from three to seven years, depending on specialty. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) accredit residency programs for M.D.s and D.O.s respectively. In July 2015 these organizations, along with the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), began moving toward a single accreditation system. This transition is expected to be complete in July 2020.
Licensing: Doctors need a license from a state medical or osteopathic board to practice in the U.S. Requirements vary by state and can be found at the Federation of State Medical Boards website. While requirements vary, all M.D.s must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and D.O.s must pass the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX-USA).
Problem Solving: After evaluating a patient's symptoms and making a diagnosis, doctors have to choose an appropriate treatment. To do this, they will need critical thinking skills to compare available options.
Communication Skills: Excellent listening skills allow physicians to understand their patients' symptoms and concerns. They need superior verbal communication skills to explain diagnoses to patients and their families and convey instructions and information about treatment to nurses and others on staff.
Service Orientation: A doctor must want to help people. While there are some paths available in this field that do not involve working with patients directly, most research is driven by a desire to help people.
Monitoring: Doctors need to be attentive to changes in patients' conditions and respond to them appropriately. This can include anything from long-term changes in regular patients to short-term changes in patients recovering from a specific procedure or illness.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects jobs for physicians and surgeons will grow by about 13 percent between 2016 and 2026. This is nearly twice the 7 percent growth rate projected for people in all careers, but a bit slower than the growth for other health diagnosing and treating practitioners. An increasingly aging population will drive the demand for more doctors.
Few professions vary as much in terms of work environment like that of a doctor. A doctor with a family practice in a small community might have a relatively laid-back operation with a small staff. On the other hand, doctors working in an emergency room in an urban setting might be faced with extreme cases and high stress on a regular basis. Many doctors choose to specialize in a particular area which often dictates the type of environment in which they work and the amount of stress they face.
Doctors' schedules can be demanding, but how challenging they are depends on their type of work. A pediatrician or a family practitioner might be able to keep more regular business hours, but a surgeon frequently is on call and often performs procedures that can go well past the eight hours of a typical work day. Before establishing a career, all doctors need to complete a residency that typically will require long hours including nights and weekends and frequent periods of being on call.
Getting into medical school requires being a high achieving student and taking the right classes, including biology, chemistry, physics, and math, as an undergraduate.
Training to be a doctor can take as much as a decade beyond earning an undergraduate degree.
By the time medical students begin their residencies, they can start to focus on a specialty.


Rhett's and my formal introduction began in Tennessee in Aug 2013, although I am convinced that our first introduction began much earlier, well over a year before. A long time mentor and friend asked me a question a year prior when I was riding with her in a clinic. "With your and Sage's* horsemanship improvement, I'm curious if you've given any thought to what type of horse you might like for your next mount?". My. Next. Mount?? What's wrong with the one I have right now?? Sure, I know my redheaded quarter horse mare, Sage, is almost 19 years old, but she's 'The Firecracker'! "Don't you want to learn to ride bigger movements on a horse with lots of suspension? We all love Sage, but you have taken her about as far as she is mentally and physically capable", my mentor remarked.
I really had never given another horse any thought at ALL, until now !
My mentor's words kept flowing in and out of my mind over the week I spent with her – "Have you given any thought to what type of horse you might like for your next mount?" I pretty much had only quarter horses and quarter horse crosses for over 50+ years, why would I start with another breed? I saw this mentor in the fall and again, she asked if I had thought about what breed I might like next. Hmmm?? Type? Breed? She had called them two different things, type or breed. Were they the same for me on my journey?
I let my mind wander to the possibilities. I really had never given it any thought. Don't fix something that's not broken, quarter horses rock! When I began to think about it and closed my eyes, an Iberian cross or Spanish breed, was the first to drift in. I really didn't know a lot about 'Iberians' or Spanish horses, except having seen the "Lipizzan Stallions" from the Spanish Riding School.
In my initial research, I consistently liked the way they moved and they seemed to have really good minds. Working Equitation and Dressage, of course, drew my attention. It looked fun and a good fitness program for both me and the horse.
WAIT a minute…THE HORSE? THE HORSE?
THE denotes 'A' horse is in existence! From that point forward, I dreamed of a grey white bullfighting horse of Iberian descent. A grey white supple bodied and brilliantly minded bullfighting horse. A grey white stallion performing airs above the ground. A grey white 'schoolmaster-ish' horse that would support me through learning to ride higher movements. The more I thought about it, the clearer and more real the horse developed in my dreams. The dreams became more vivid, more possible and more attainable.
Now, I realize it was Rhett, though that wasn't his name of course, that kept coming to me in my nightly dreams. He was the most magnificent horse I'd ever seen. He had the most incredible movement. He was brave and faced down the 'bears' at the obstacles in the working equitation arena. He lived for the dance with the bull. He loved people and would run faster than any other horse in his herd to be admired first.
My Rhett was THE perfect Horse!
I casually mentioned it to several of my horse galpals. In July 2013, one of those friends mentioned an Iberian cross a friend of hers was fostering and was looking for his forever home.
Three BFF's decided to take a "Girls Road Trip" to TN to meet 'The Horse'. Arrangements were made to meet him a couple hours daily over 2-3 days to 'test' him for my purpose. And in my mind, my purpose was clear and succinct. When we arrived at the foster barn, I was hit with reality….

Leukerbad is a small German-speaking village with about 1,500 inhabitants. Nestling in the midst of the Valaisan mountains, it has the most hot springs of any Alpine location. Its position in the centre of the canton makes it the ideal starting point for excursions to the Lötschental Valley in Upper Valais, Kandersteg, Crans Montana or Zermatt for cosmopolitan occasions.
The history of Leukerbad may stretch back further than our history books have been saying. In fact, traces of Celtic culture and objects from the times of Vespasian and Diocletian prove that the Romans were already enjoying the local thermal springs. Although it is estimated that Leukerbad came into being in about the fourth century BC, the village only became one of Switzerland's most visited destinations in 1501, when Bishop Matthieu Schiner acquired the rights to the baths.
About 200 years later, in 1779, important figures began to flock in. The first to come and enjoy the benefits of the resort's thermal springs was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In 1877, it was the turn of Guy de Maupassant, followed a year later by Mark Twain. Totally charmed by the beauty of the landscape and the beneficial virtues of the thermal springs, these celebrities contributed greatly to Leukerbad's legendary status.

Most people buy investment properties to make a lot of money. The general idea is to build up a portfolio of properties, which are increasing in value and providing a growing income. After a while, the wealth accumulating from the investments is enough to live off on its own, providing financial independence or a very comfortable retirement.
Certainly, successful investors don't stop at one. But the reality is most property investors do. According to the ATO, 72% of property investors own only the one property. And only 10% own more than two. You don't create the kind of wealth most investors are aiming for from the one property.
So why do most property investors stop at one? For all the focus in the investment world on strategies, most people simply buy a bad property. After years of disappointment with a poorly performing property, with little profit to show from it, or even facing a loss, they sell up, and the property investment dream is over.
The problem is generally the property. And unfortunately, so many investors buy the wrong property because the property investment industry is selling them the wrong property. The reality is, the properties being sold by property investment companies are often the riskiest.
Property investment companies specialise in new properties, primarily house and land packages and off the plan apartments. Why? Because it's the easiest way for them to get paid. Developers will pay commissions of 3%-5% of the value of a new property to the agent/company who sells it for them. So property investment companies can offer a free service to investors, while getting paid handsomely by the developer to provide that service.
why are properties sold by investment companies the riskiest?
Most new houses are in poor locations. House and land packages are invariably being sold in the outer suburbs. Why? Because that's where the available land is. Contrary to the spruik from investment companies, these are not the places most people want to live - they'll generally only live there because of affordability, or because they want to live in a new property. Most people would prefer to live in properties closer to jobs, better schools and better lifestyle options. For investors, the brutal arithmetic is this: new properties become old, but outer suburbs remain outer suburbs. Outer suburbs under-perform inner suburbs - that's a fact.
Buying in new estates or off-the-plan apartments guarantees plenty of competition to your investment. If you were investing in a business, would you invest in one that had lots of competitors, or few competitors? The less competition the better, right? Yet investors who buy in housing estates or off the plan are guaranteeing themselves lots of competition. If you're buying in a new housing estate, not only are you competing with other houses in that estate, but also with all the future houses to be built in the surrounding area. It's much the same story for off-the-plan apartments; you're competing against many similar apartments in your complex, and its highly likely the area you bought in has lots of other complexes being developed as well. Competition drives prices down, not up, and it's no different with property.
You're probably paying too much for the property. New properties sell for a premium, because they're shiny and new. But they don't retain that premium. We consistently see properties that have fallen in value over the first few years, because they were bought at above the suburb's median price, or because they were more expensive than an established property in a better area. If you overpay at the start, you'll make a lot less return on your investment.
While off-the-plan apartments look great in marketing documents, high prices and stiff competition generally lead to poor investment returns.
The combination of inferior locations, plenty of competition and an unwarranted price premium makes a pretty poor recipe for successful property investment. Yet these are the types of properties investors are dished up when they speak to a property investment company - the very people who should be helping them make a good decision. At Aquila Property Investment, we could choose to sell new property, and if it were a great option for our clients, believe us, we would! It's much easier to offer a free service to clients than expect them to pay us. But the investment maths just don't add up.

Profile In Ivy – Tom Heany
I am committed to doing many more profiles than last year. Well, actually, I am committed to doing more of everything than the last half of last year. So here we go.
Got back from the gym this morning, it was packed. A lot of resolutions. I am personally down 46 pounds from my biggest last year. I remember the beginning of the year last year, there were a lot of people starting at the gym to lose Covid weight. Remember Covid weight? They dwindled down in number, and by June it was the usual crowd and those of us who were sticking it out.
And it wasn't desire, I don't think. Everyone wants to make whatever changes they want to make. And it isn't even about weight loss education, everybody knows the formula, burn more calories than you eat and you lose weight. And I don't think it is even about motivation. No one starts trying to lose weight then says, "Nah, I am ok where things are." I think it is that the process of making any long lasting improvement is in and of itself a practice. THEN there is what you are trying to change. But first, you have to know in general how to change.
Enter Tom Heany. Heany would be a profile on this site anyway because he is a master arpeggio (fingerstyle) folk guitarist who also happens to dress Ivy. Here:
That is an untucked WOCBD AND his father's Hamilton tank watch. http://www.tomheany.com/

Ivy inclinations established sartorially, allow me now to present Ivy inclinations intellectually. Tom Heany was the Director of Programming for the National Music Foundation for 16 years. Then, his wife got a disease so rare it was not even named at the time. For years, Heany was caretaker to his wife, a process of erosion that cost him his job, withered his finances to the point where he lost his house and "98% of everything we owned" and ultimately he lost his wife. Left with a few boxes and a car and a hole nothing could fill, Heany sought a solution in his music. And the practice, thereof. Specifically, he sought to heal through practice.
And to do that, he studied the art of practice, rather than just fumble through practice. And his research and experience produced his book, First, Learn To Practice.
Yeah, it is a book about practicing an instrument. Which may or may not be for you. BUT it is also about about how to really get better at anything, which SHOULD be for you.
So for New Year's, pick your resolution, something you want to get better at, and follow the advice in the book. First, Heany says, "If you are not enjoying your practice, change it until you are." Forget Atomic Habits (read it twice). The truth about making change is found here. Getting better at something, quitting something you are dependent on, both require practice and if you do not enjoy it, you will not do it. Welcome to human nature.
The next lesson is more complicated, but also fundamental. Heany talks about understanding what it is you want to produce before you start trying to produce it, and then working on the most basic element. For Heany, because the book focuses on learning to play an instrument, the formula is movement. Movement makes music. For my weight loss, what I wanted to produce was to be a decent boxer (more on that later) and I learned that the most important part about boxing training is footwork. And so I learned to move my feet.
Anyway, back to Heany. The rest of the book, a very good read because Heany is a master storyteller, is a look at the process of practicing and learning to love practicing as much as you love whatever it is you are practicing.
I've interviewed Heany twice on my other show. His story is inspirational, and I am going to ask him to do an Ivy-Style podcast too just to talk about his style. If you want, he did a Christmas show with me that you can catch here, it gets into the Ivy weeds a little. He worked for Dick Clark (who was Ivy for a spell) but most of his stories are about the intellectual pursuit of a better life through mastery of what you love. And his songs are remarkable too.

Practicing. It's certainly better than drugs or booze. I discovered practicing in the early 80s after a somewhat difficult time, nothing as traumatic as Tom's. As a result I found a steady gig which financed…my practice habit. I became a practice-a-holic for about twenty years. Then came 9/11 and the GWOT, so I had to quit cold-turkey. That was 22 years ago, now. Everyone should discover the peace and joy of practicing something worthwhile. It is good to be good at something.
Tom Heany | January 3, 2023 at 12:55 pm |
Most of the things that make practicing work make everything else work, too. Structure. Habit. Scheduling. Honesty. Self-evaluation. Self-correction. Self-discipline. Lots of self stuff, because in the end no one else but you cares about your practicing, and there's some magic in that. Practicing also seems to contain the opportunity (not necessarily something that works for everyone) to fold it into your identity – "I'm someone who practices." I'd be interested to know how often practicing shows up in a life adjacent to difficult times.

I played guitar, dobro and piano in my youth, but have unfortunately neglected them for years, perhaps picking out an occasional tune, but not really practicing. I should mend my ways.
I note that my father too wore a Hamilton watch but, sadly, it was stolen at some point. However, I now am wearing a version from that era, and it looks remarkably like the one pictured above, including the shape and the second hand at 6:00.
Tom Heany | January 4, 2023 at 8:16 am |
I started on piano and still intend to get back to it, but I've been saying that for along time. My father's Hamilton is currently in the shop. It has been revived a few times; I'm hoping it has one more life left in it.

I'll upload all of them on my Pictures page soon. I think after going through them I'll have about 200 pictures. Crazy!!!
Sunday, The Godfather and Matt came over to go swimming. The Godfather brought his underwater camera and we took the coolest pictures with it.
Addison is so goofy. We really had a blast with the camera.
So, we have 2 more weeks for school to start. I have been so busy trying to get Addison ready for middle school. He has worn a uniform for 2 years so we had to shop for all new clothes. I'm also trying to spend as much time with him so sorry that I won't be blogging so often. I haven't been baking that much either because it is HOT!
Well, Happy Friday everyone and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We have Addison's 2nd cousin coming over tonight. Addison is sooo excited. It should be a blast. He's a vegetarian so I need to go and starting cooking a vegetarian meal. I'm thinking pasta with tomatoes and eggplant. I'll let you guys know how that goes.
I spent all day making things for Chamell's Birthday party. I usually wait until the last minute to do things but I was excited to start creating. JT helped out a lot today (the greatest most patience husband ever). We got most of the Pinwheels done and some of the Photobooth props done. I'm so happy how everything is turning out.
I still have a lot to finish and still haven't decided what to do about streamers or paper flowers. And what kind of cupcake toppers am I going to make? I guess I have time to decide.
Well, I'm going to think about this while a fall asleep tonight. I'm so happy tomorrow is the first morning this summer that I don't have to wake up early to take Addison to diving or swimming. Oh and no one is sick, this is going to be a great week!!
After I finished the invitations, I needed to order party supplies.
I found the cutest straws and balloons at Bake It Pretty. So cute and pink.
Now I need to decided what decorations I should make. I found some great DIYs on so many blogs. I just can't decide what to make. I can't make it all.
I have found cupcake toppers.
Like these Fabric Ruffled Cake Toppers from The Sweetest Occasion.
Or these Fabric Flower Cupcake Toppers from Paige of Style?
And then they are Flag Cupcake Toppers.
I found these on Hank and Hunt. They are edible flags made out of Fruit by Foot. Cute?
The Sweetest Occasion also made ones out of contact paper.
And Creature Comforts does flags with fabric. I wonder if I can find pink and white fabric?
So I definitely want to do some kind of cupcake topper. I just need to decide which one.
I am totally making party hats since it is a kid friendly party.
I found these at Oh Happy Day.
Or what about these from Birthday Girl?
Or these from Fabric Party Hats from Momtastic?
I would also like to make Pinwheels fo the kids.
Look at these little ones from Oh Happy Day.
Oh and look at these Pinwheels from Style Me Pretty. Wow!
And absolutely I have to make these Pinewheels from Lovely Indeed for her driveway.
I am definitely making these Photo booth Props for Pictures.
I found these at Oh Happy Day. I love them! With my new camera and these, her birthday pictures will be awesome!!!
And of course I have to do Mustache Prop also. These are from Tiffany Kelley.
These Colorful Mobiles are so pretty from Project Wedding.
Or these Fabric Star Medallions from Martha Stewart.
Or Wall Flowers from Dana Made It?
And these Fringy Streamers are Beautiful from Oh Happy Day.
I will be doing pink flowers in vases. Look what I found at Poppy Talk? Painting Bottles and using them as vases. I would love to find some cheap bottles and do this.
So as you can see I need a lot of help. I am all over the place. I have too much to decide on and too much to make. I only have 7 days to get all of this done on top of baking cupcakes and a cake.
So please can everyone help me decide. Please leave your comments on what you like to help me out.

BHASKAR
Bhaskar began his story in 2004, still at age 12, when his first project with Alok Petrillo, his twin brother, appeared. At the time, they dealt with CDJs as a hobby, but over time, they saw that the joke was getting serious. In a short time, they already shared their time between studies and the studio.
Son of renowned DJs Swarup and Ekanta, he was motivated by his parents' success and in a few years was already performing in several countries. With melodic and deep influences, his music does not stick to the traditional, and his musical personality can be easily recognized by illustrating a rare fusion of futuristic elements of Tech House with cleaner and organic sounds from Techno and Deep House. In recent months, he has had major releases such as "The Hook" and "Fuego", alongside his brother. In addition to DJ and Producer, Bhaskar is also one of the producers of the Festival Universo Paralello

Not only was he the first ever Taiwanese DJ to perform at the legendary MayDay Festival in Germany on mainstage, alongside the likes of The Prodigy, Paul van Dyk, and Takkyu Ishino, but was also the first DJ in Taiwan to be interviewed by none other than the industry authority DJ Mag.

Q: My CS50 caesar program works fine but it doesn't pass check50
This program is supposed to encrypt strings with the user's key. If the argument count is not 2 and the argv[1] (key) is not a positive number then it prints the usage instructions and returns 1.Else it does the rest of the program.

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, string argv[])
{
    //Get the key
    if (argc != 2)
    {
        printf("Usage: ./caesar key\n");
        return 1;
    }

    for (int key = 0; key < strlen(argv[1]); key++)
    {
        if(isalpha(argv[1][key]))
        {
            printf("Usage: ./caesar key\n");
            return 1;
        }
    }

    //Convert string to int
    int key = atoi(argv[1]);

    //Get the plaintext
    string plaintext = get_string("Plaintext:  ");

    //Output the ciphertext
    printf("ciphertext: ");

for (int i = 0, length = strlen(plaintext); i < length; i++)
{
    if(!isalpha(plaintext[i]))
    {
        printf("%c", plaintext[i]);
        continue;
    }

    int offset = isupper(plaintext[i]);

    for (int j = 0; plaintext[i] != '\0'; i++)
    {
        if (isalpha(plaintext[i]) != 0)
        {
            if (isupper(plaintext[i]) != 0)
            {
                printf("%c", ((plaintext[i] - 65 + key) % 26) + 65);
            }
            else
            {
                printf("%c", ((plaintext[i] - 97 + key) % 26) + 97);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            printf("%c", plaintext[i]);
        }
    }

    int p = plaintext[i] - offset;
    int c = (p + key) % 26;
    printf("%c", c + offset);
}

    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}

These are the check50 results:
:) caesar.c exists.
:) caesar.c compiles.
:( encrypts "a" as "b" using 1 as key
    expected "ciphertext: b\...", not "ciphertext: b\..."
:( encrypts "barfoo" as "yxocll" using 23 as key
    expected "ciphertext: yx...", not "ciphertext: yx..."
:( encrypts "BARFOO" as "EDUIRR" using 3 as key
    output not valid ASCII text
:( encrypts "BaRFoo" as "FeVJss" using 4 as key
    output not valid ASCII text
:( encrypts "barfoo" as "onesbb" using 65 as key
    expected "ciphertext: on...", not "ciphertext: on..."
:( encrypts "world, say hello!" as "iadxp, emk tqxxa!" using 12 as key
    expected "ciphertext: ia...", not "ciphertext: ia..."
:) handles lack of argv[1]
:) handles non-numeric key
:) handles too many arguments

But I can't figure out where's the problem. It literally says

-expected "ciphertext: b...", not "ciphertext: b..."

They seem completely same to me.
Edit:
I've changed 65 and 97 to 'a' and 'A'.That solved the ASCII value problem.
I also removed this line.But the problems still remain.
for (int j = 0; plaintext[i] != '\0'; i++)
I've figured out everything and it passed the check50 tests.Thank you for all the help.My solution is below the comments.

A: I've noticed that things get complicated after the second for loop and I removed everything
int offset = isupper(plaintext[i]);
to
printf("%c", c + offset);
And then I created a new function called mix_text and add that function with a %s in the line of printing ciphertext.This new function takes plaintext and key as its inputs and returns a string.Here's how it looks.
string mix_text(string plaintext, int key)
{
    string ciphertext = plaintext;
    for (int i = 0, len = strlen(plaintext); i < len; i++)
    {
        if (isupper(plaintext[i]))
        {
            ciphertext[i] = (plaintext[i] - 'A' + key) % 26 + 'A';
        }
        else if (islower(plaintext[i]))
        {
            ciphertext[i] = (plaintext[i] - 'a' + key) % 26 + 'a';
        }

    }
    return ciphertext;

Yannick Nézet-Séguin Returns to SPAC
August 7, 2019, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, 108 Avenue Of The Pines, Saratoga Springs, NY
Price: $28-103

Masquerade "draws its inspiration from the original mid-18th-century promenade concerts held in London's pleasure gardens" according to composer Anna Clyne and was dedicated to the Proms' concertgoers for which this piece originally premiered. This richly orchestrated work includes an old English country dance melody and a drinking song to add a festive flair to the program.
Chausson's Poème de l'amour et de la mer, which translates to Poem of Love and the Sea, is a 19th-century song cycle about love, loss and the sea. This program, marking the return of Yannick Nézet-Séguin to SPAC's podium, celebrates the interplay between the romantic texts of Maurice Bouchor and Chausson's lush orchestration. According to Yannick, "This is just an amazing collection of poems and it got me thinking how color in symphonic music can be … a way of getting to a true soul of a piece."
Closing the evening is Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1, considered a dynamic representation of the Russian symphonic tradition, despite an unsuccessful premiere which Rachmaninoff called "the most agonizing hour of my life."

If I get a job, can my kids still win scholarships? I don't see the point in applying for financial aid. We make too much money.
Paying for College ACT I. What will everyone contribute?
Parents and students should talk openly about college finances. Many of the parents in my practice describe their students as "living in a bubble" when it comes to money. Ignorance is not bliss. How a family pays for college can impact a household's finances for decades. Use the Get Real, Get Ready: Paying for College Worksheet to discuss how much parents, students, and others will contribute to a student's education over 4 years. Enter those amounts into the Pre-College Analysis Tab.
Paying for College ACT II. How much will school cost?
Students, list what you desire from a school. Large vs. small? Located in a college town or large metropolitan area? Great job placement rate? Great medical school placement rate? Use this wish list to search for colleges at BigFuture. Then, use the prospective university's Net Price Calculator to approximate costs.
Visit Google and enter the following: ABC school net price calculator. For example, to estimate the cost of attending the University of Oklahoma, Google the following: University of Oklahoma net price calculator. Here's Oklahoma's net price calculator.
Paying for College ACT III. Choose some tools that will help you close the gap.
Dual Credit: Talk with your counselor about this program that allows students to earn high school credit and college credit simultaneously.
College-level Examination Program (CLEP): Pass an exam (cost: up to $85) in exchange for college credit.
Work-Study: Work-study programs typically offer higher wages and greater flexibility than other jobs available for students.
Employer benefits: Does your employer offer tuition reimbursement or tuition discounts?
Apply for scholarships: Check out these local scholarship bulletins.
Texas B-on-Time Loan Program: This loan is forgiven when students graduate with a minimum grade point average within a certain number of years. * Correction: This award is only available for renewals, not new applications.
Enter the Net Price, Per credit hour cost of tuition, and college credits earned through Dual Credit, CLEP, or Advanced Placement Exams in the Net Price Analysis tab.
Enter the Net Price for 4 Years in the Fill in the Gaps tab.
Do you need help figuring this out? Schedule an appointment and complete the Scholar ReadyNESS Assessment.
Q: Dream College accepted my son. We are thrilled, yet confused. Besides paying out-of- pocket, How do we pay for his college education?
A: Follow these 4 steps before the letter of acceptance arrives.
Scholarships: Awards based on merit, financial need, or a combination of the two. This money does not have to be repaid. HINT: The best sources for scholarships are local private and public organizations.
Grant: This money does not have to be repaid. The federal government, state governments, and colleges award this money. Generally, financial need determines the grant recipients and dollar amounts.
Loan: Money that must be repaid by the student or the student's parents. Subscribe to ScholarSpot, the newsletter, and learn the differences between public and private loans and subsidized and unsubsidized loans.
Work-study: A student works part-time to pay for school expenses. Typically, work-study employers are on campus, pay more than the minimum wage, and offer flexible hours.
3. Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as you can after January 1st of the need year. For example, students who need college financial aid for Fall 2008 or Spring 2009, will submit the FAFSA beginning in January 2008. The FAFSA will reflect income from 2007.
4. Make a friend in Dream College's recruitment office. These insiders know about scholarships and financial aid programs that don't appear on the websites or brochures. Caution: Document all information from these conversations. Parents and students should record the time, date, and the university representative's name.
Q: I just graduated from high school and will start college in August. The university gave me a $30,000 scholarship to be spread over 4 years. My mom calculated that the scholarship would pay $3,750 each semester. My counselor told me to look at the TOTAL costs of going to school, not just tuition and fees.
1. Compare costs. Have you been accepted by other schools? I'm assuming that you filed the FAFSA. Did they offer you any financial aid? Remember, you can take the $2,000 scholarship to any school. Determine which school is the best buy.
2. Talk to the financial aid administrators and recruiters at Dream University. They might point you to a work-study job, scholarship, or grant that another student turned down at the last minute.
3. Become a responsible borrower. Contact Dream University's financial aid department and request a government-sponsored student loan. These loans offer low interest rates and restrict the amount you can borrow to your financial need.
4. Borrow early. The money from government-sponsored student loans come from private banks. In today's economy, these financial institutions have been crippled by bad home loans. This is causing a domino effect in the student loan market, and banks are going to issue fewer loans to college students than in the past.
5. Keep your grades up. You can't afford to lose your Dream University scholarship. Plus, you might earn more scholarships in the coming years. Remember, you have to apply to win.
6. Discuss these options with your parents.
Scholarship winners hit walls, yet they persist.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships are available; you just have to be willing to work to get the money.
1. Write your scholarship target – the exact dollar amount – and post it everywhere. Your mirror, your locker, your cell phone, your computer, and your closet should display this number. Focus on that dollar amount when you glimpse others winning scholarships that you wanted.
Although any amount of money is a lot of money when you don't have it, realize that you're not raising a million dollars. Remember that your community, state and prospective university yearn to give money to deserving students.
2. Maintain a positive attitude in the face of rejection. I applied for over 30 scholarships and won a fraction of them.
3. Push the Haters to the left—or the right —as long as they move out of your way. Some people, even the adults in your life, will tell you that winning scholarships, or even attending college, is not for you. Some Black parents have told me that Black kids can't write personal essays. Well, I'm Black, and I wrote my way into no student loan debt and a future.
Q: I wanted to see if scholarships are available for adults like me (I'm older and a mom). I need more resources to complete my Bachelor Degree in Human Services from the University of Phoenix online. I used all the tuition reimbursement money, $3,000, from my job.
I still have about two years to complete this degree. I wish I could pay my way through college, but unfortunately I cannot at this time. Knowing that there are all kinds of free money available for college, I don't want to get any loans for school.

Dear Frazzled, calm down. Since your son will begin college in Fall 2018, the first day that he can submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was October 1, 2017. Even if you don't have your W-2 and 1099 forms and completed tax return, go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and apply now. This application is your son's gateway to grants, loans, work-study programs, and scholarships. Often, financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Plus, the FAFSA people will accept an estimate of your 2016 income.
Free option #1: If the library has the book, check it out before anyone else does. Renew the book during the entire semester.
Free option #2: Borrow books from others who have taken the classes that you are currently taking. Check with your professor to see if an old edition is acceptable. After all, what recent developments have occurred in College Algebra or Colonial American History?
Free option #3: Ask the professor if you can perform well in the class without reading the textbook.
Be sure to understand the return policies before you buy.
Q: Jennifer, my daughter will attend Texas A & M University next year. My husband and I want her to focus on her studies and not work her freshman year. She loves to buy the latest purses, shoes, and clothes. We are worried that she will take out a loan to support her spending habits. Is it true that she can borrow $15,000 without our permission? - Nadia J.
She can and she will. Two types of loans are available for students: government-backed and private. The limit for Stafford loans (backed by the federal government) for the 2007-08 academic year for a freshman is $3,500. Government loans are paid directly to Texas A & M; private loans are paid directly to the student. Exercise caution when borrowing from private lenders. Unlike Uncle Sam, these lenders don't consider need. Foolishly, many students borrow more than they need. I've known of students to borrow $20,000 from a private lender in one academic year.
Q: Jennifer — I need your help. I mentor a family that has heard that if they make more than $50,000 a year they put themselves at risk to not get scholarships for their kids. Therefore the mother is thinking of delaying her job search. The mother and father opened a restaurant that failed, and they are left with $40,000 debt. If the mother gets a job, will the children be excluded from scholarships? —Concerned community leader.
A: No. Students may qualify for need-based or merit-based scholarships or a combination of the two. The student's family's financial circumstances determine need-based awards; a student's achievements determine merit-based aid.
Mom must encourage her children to do the following: take the most rigorous courses, earn a high grade point average, and devote their time and talents to school and volunteer activities.
When applying to college (and every year spent in college), her kids should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Increasingly, many universities require this financial aid paperwork from would-be need-based and merit-based scholarship recipients. The U.S. Department of Education will review the paperwork and calculate the family's contribution (EFC). Then, each school uses the EFC to establish a student's need for help in paying for tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. It is ideal to have a low EFC: the lower the EFC, the less the family has to pay. If Mom feels that her kids deserve more need-based aid, then she should meet with the school's financial aid administrator.
1) Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA; www.fafsa.ed.gov ). Even if your family earns below the poverty level, grants, loans, and work-study may come your son's way. Income is part of determining need. Other factors include number of dependents and assets (or lack of). Plus, many universities won't award any scholarships without your son's FAFSA.
2) Submit the entire financial aid application. Check with your university for extra forms. Some private universities look at net income and net worth (assets minus liabilities) to award scholarships.

Unless you've been hiding under a stone lately, you'll be well aware that this September 24th marks the first Arthur's Day. This is the annual celebration of the founding of Guinness. Of course this year is particularly special as it's the quarter century Anniversary, so there's a whole summer of events and activities ahead of us. The important one, however, is the day itself, and the incredible events that will be taking place.
Tomorrow tickets go on sale at 9am, through Ticketmaster, for gigs at four venues and 28 pubs, all of whom will be playing host to some seriously cool international stars, here in Dublin to help us celebrate this new national holiday. Tickets for the four venues; Tripod, Vicar St, Whelan's and The Academy, will be on sale for €17.59, and tickets to the 28 pubs will be €9. Also, all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Arthur Guinness Fund. Nice one!
In the pub venues punters will have the unique opportunity to see two well known artists and a special guest in the surroundings of one of Dublin's best pubs. Details of these artists and special guests will be kept secret until the night itself.
Each gig will kick off at 17:59 in tribute to Arthur Guinness himself, and the signing of the 9,000 year lease on the St. James's Gate brewery.
So what are you waiting for? Set your alarm, switch on a reminder, tell your best friend, send a tweet, write a blog or yell out your window. Whatever you do, just remember to get a ticket!

Aragami Shadow Edition Xbox One review: A truly perfect stealth game
If you enjoy games with an emphasis on stealth, Aragami for Xbox One is right up your alley.
By Brendan Lowry
Unfortunately for many stealth fans, games made for the genre in the last few years have felt too action-oriented. Though Dishonored and Assassin's Creed have good stealth mechanics, a lot of the time it's just easier to fight foes head on. However, Aragami punishes you for this behavior strongly. You aren't a soldier; you're an assassin.
Because of this, it's one of the rare "true" stealth games of this generation, and after over a year of being on PC and PlayStation 4, it has finally made its way to Xbox. Packaged together with the brand new downloadable content (DLC), it's an experience you won't want to miss.
See on Microsoft Store (opens in new tab)
Story: Fight the clutches of evil
Taking place in Japan, the game has you take control of a shadow spirit called an aragami. You have been summoned by a girl called Yamiko, who has been imprisoned by a violent faction that can control light magic. Yamiko projects herself as an apparition to you and helps guide you to where she is. Along the way, you either sneak past or assassinate a plethora of soldiers.
The story itself is simple, but there's plenty of juicy lore to find as you play that brings the world to life and helps characterize both Yamiko and the aragami. The fact that the "light side" faction are the antagonists is also interesting. Usually, the shadowy "dark side" is considered to be evil. This time, though, people who wield the light are the ones who need to be brought to justice.
The narrative of the DLC is short, but sweet: you play and uncover the fates of the last two shadow assassins, Hyo and Shinobu, as they battle soldiers during the war between the dark and light. This all occurs prior to the events of the original game, and it helps to add context to the main plot.
Gameplay: Manipulate the shadows
The meat of Aragami lies within its incredibly polished mechanics. As an aragami, you can both create shadows and teleport between them, but doing either requires Shadow Essence, a resource that is replenished by standing in dark places. Standing in moderate light stops your Shadow Essence from recharging, while being next to bright lights causes it to drain. When not in the dark, enemies can see you easily, but if you remain hidden you can assassinate them with your trusty blade.
At its core, Aragami emphasizes stealth. It is impossible to fight enemies head on, as any attacks soldiers use kill you in one hit. Therefore, the game requires you to patiently scout out the play space, find routes to take, and either silently kill enemies or avoid them entirely. Enemies are intelligent and lethal, but you can exploit their patrol patterns with careful strategy. This is ultimately what a stealth game should be.
Additionally, the player can find scrolls around levels that give skill points for unlocking new abilities, such as making the corpse of a target vanish or giving the player kunai projectiles. Each of these are useful, but never overpowered, meaning that the game doesn't become trivially easy down the line.
Presentation: A true work of art
Aragami is a visual and musical masterpiece. The vibrant art style perfectly suits the aesthetic of classical Japan, yet the use of darker shades of color gives the game a somber feeling, which is perfect for the story. The score is also top-notch, and the balance between the intense, panicked music that plays when you get caught in-game and the mellow tracks that accompany your sneaky movements is perfect.
Aragami Shadow Edition Xbox One review final thoughts
Between the perfect gameplay, great story, and flawless presentation, Aragami is a stealth masterpiece. It's that simple.
Well-written story.
Incredible gameplay.
Excellent presentation.
Slight frame rate drops.
Aragami Shadow Edition is available now on Xbox One for $24.99.

Will there be a physical edition like the ps4?
The developer said no in a recent Reddit AMA unfortunately.
I purchased this game on Steam and played it on MacBook Pro. It's good enough even when running on Intel's Iris Graphics 6100. So far, I like the story, the gameplay, and the visual arts. I personally gave this game a five stars rating.
The art is so good! It's like a painting right in front of your eyes.
This looks really, really good. Instant buy imo.
It's worth every cent. If you bought, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Internet Inventor, Berners-Lee to Battle Google, Facebook
Tim Berners-Lee, the British computer scientist who invented the internet in 1989 is about to launch another invention: an open source web platform that will allow users bypass tech giants such as Google and Facebook.
He has just launched Inrupt, a start-up which is building the open source platform called "Solid".
The platform, in his conception, will decentralise the web and allow users to choose where their data is kept, along with who can see and access it.
Solid intends to allow users to bypass Google and Facebook. The two tech giants now have direct influence over nearly three quarters of all internet traffic thanks to the vast amounts of apps and services they own such as YouTube, WhatsApp and Instagram.
Berners-Lee spoke in Lisbon Monday at a web summit and lamented the widespread abuse many users have turned the internet.
Berners-Lee, who in 1989 invented the World Wide Web as a way to exchange information, said the internet had deviated from the goals its founders had envisaged.
"All kinds of things have gone wrong. We have fake news, we have problems with privacy, we have people being profiled and manipulated," he said in an opening address.
Employees of Google, Facebook and other tech giants have in recent months gone public with their regrets, calling the products they helped build harmful to society and overly addictive.
Tech giants are also under fire for having built up virtual monopolies in their areas. Amazon accounts for 93 percent of all e-book sales while Google swallows up 92 percent of all European internet-search ad spending.
Berners-Lee, 63, has advocated a new deal, a "contract" to make internet safe and accessible for everyone.
He called on governments, companies and citizens to iron out a "complete contract" for the web that will make the internet "safe and accessible" for all by May 2019, the date by which 50 percent of the world will be online for the first time.
He is leading the way with 'Solid'. "I think technology is going through a funk… it's a period of reflection," Web Summit founder and CEO Paddy Cosgrave told AFP.
"With every new technology you go through these cycles. The initial excitement of the printed press was replaced in time by a great fear that it was actually a bad thing. Over time it has actually worked out ok."

Q: Do I have to connect to MQTT broker? I'm trying to send data to my db (MySQL) with MQTT. But I cant get any information or just don't understand if I need to connect to my MQTT broker with my C-code first? Or if I just can put in my DB address and portnumber?
Connection code down below.
I'm using HiveMQ as broker.
    while(1){

MQTTPacket_connectData data = MQTTPacket_connectData_initializer;
        int rc = 0;
        char buf[200];
        MQTTString topicString = MQTTString_initializer;

                char* payload = "Hello World!";

Q: Xcode Retrieve, Perform Function and Add Data to SQL DB I think I'm making this more complicated than it has to be.  I have an Sqlite DB in my app.  I'm trying to pull the Lat/Long of each location, get the distance between the iPhone and the location and insert that distance back into the DB.  I would then be able to pull that data for my tableview and sort by distance.  Please let me know if I'm going about this the right way.
If this is the right way, I'm still drawing a blank on how to update one cell in each row of data.

Boeing Announces More Than $300,000 in Grants to Asian-American Organizations
Posted by Contributing Editor on May 12, 2021 in Business | Leave a response
Boeing Wednesday announced more than $300,000 in grants to organizations serving Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County as part of a $1.1 million investment package to combat anti-Asian hate, advance appreciation for Asian-American and Pacific Islander history and culture, and fund community service projects and leadership development programs in communities throughout the United States.
The four grants locally will go to:
— Asian Americans Advancing Justice to fund national legal and civil rights support for low-income Asian Pacific American communities across the U.S. with a focus on the greater Los Angeles area;
— Little Tokyo Service Center to provide a social welfare and community development services to Asian-American and Pacific Islander persons in need, contribute to community revitalization and cultural preservation in Little Tokyo and neighboring AAPI and other low income communities;
— United Cambodian Community to provide social services to the Cambodian community in Long Beach, home of Cambodia Town, the largest population of Cambodians in the nation; and the
— Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance to enhance the health, and social and economic well-being of Asians and Pacific Islanders in Orange County.
"At Boeing, we know that being a truly equitable, diverse and inclusive company requires a commitment to our team members here at the company and in the communities where our employees and partners live and work," said Tim Keating, Boeing's executive vice president of government operations.
"These investments build on Boeing's longstanding commitment to supporting those in underserved and marginalized communities and recognizes the challenging issues currently being faced by the Asian American and Pacific Islander community," he said.

← JOHN KERIN. 'Free Trade' (sic), Some Fundamentals (Part 1).
The sight of close to a million dead fish in one of Australia's most important waterways may herald the end for the Morrison Government.
For this is hardly the first time this Coalition Government, under its various iterations, has spat in the face of Australia's precious resources.
For now, however, let's look at the Murray-Darling disaster and how we got here.
While then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Agriculture and Water Barnaby Joyce was busy building up his "private" media brand enough to rival the Kardashians, under his watch the management of the Murray-Darling Basin was steadily careering out of control.
Back in August 2018, the Productivity Commission completed a review of the $13 billion Murray-Darling Basin Plan's governance entitled, 'Murray-Darling Basin Plan: Five-year assessment'.
This is an opportunity to make important "stitch in time" changes to ensure an effective Plan. Failure will be costly for the environment and tax-payers and undermine confidence that the significant investment in the Basin Plan has been worthwhile.
It doesn't appear as though any of this advice was heeded in the months leading up to the fish kill apocalypse.
In June 2017, IA published an investigative report from Mark Zanker, 'The Murray-Darling Basin: Water, markets and money', which indicated an exorbitant overpayment for water in Tandou and Menindee. It prompted a sharp dressing down and request from the Department of Agriculture that we remove the article on the grounds it was 'inaccurate'. Since the Department did not provide any information about any of these purported inaccuracies, even after repeated requests, we did not take down Mark's meticulously researched article.
'The price of the sale was not mentioned in the media release, but the ABC reported that Tandou stated that it would receive $78 million from the transaction. That would be used by Tandou (Webster Limited) to retire debt.
'It's like a giant neon emergency signal flashing across the four most populous states in the country. Depleted, despoiled, often poisonous and since 2001 frequently dry, the Darling River is an emblem of poor government, mismanagement, greed and anti-democratic activity.
The first of these was the purchase of $34 million of supplementary water rights, described locally as "empty buckets of water", sold to the Federal Government during the millennium drought in 2008 by Tandou Station, 100 kilometres south-east of Broken Hill and just south of the Menindee Lakes. A further water sale to the Federal Government was made last year by the same station, $78 million for their entire 21,900-megalitre water right and for business readjustment.
Indeed. Back to you then, Littleproud and Joyce.
Prime Minister Morrison tried to argue that despite the "devasting ecological event", the Government had been "operating in accordance with scientific evidence" provided back in 2012 — except it has not.

The National Party and Mr. Joyce must face aRoyal Commission and explain what they did with the millions of taxpayer money to support the existence of communities that rely on water. It is time aRoyal Commission is established to examine the sordid mess that Mr. Joyce and the National Party have enacted upon the beautiful river.
Why have the Australian Federal Police not investigated this matter under the provisions of the Criminal Code Act 1995, Chapter 7, Proper administration of Government?
The need for a Federal Integrity Commission has never been more urgent.
Yes a royal commission with commissioners who have the forensic capacity to peal away each layer of vested interest. Politicians, scientists and industry.
