The 2019 Dodge Challenger is one of our highest-ranking sports cars. It boasts a lineup of potent engines, its cabin is one of the best in the class, and it has a good predicted reliability rating. Alongside similar muscle cars, though, this Dodge coupe falls short when it comes to agility.
Is the Dodge Challenger a Good Car?
Yes, the Dodge Challenger is a great car. Its standout specs start with its authoritative lineup of five polished engines that feature horsepower ratings that reach as high as 797. Look inside, though, and you'll see where the Challenger really sets itself apart from other muscle cars. Bumps in the pavement and road noise barely enter the cockpit, imparting a ride that's more comfortable than most other large coupes. The roomy front seats accommodate a variety of body sizes, the rear seats are unusually spacious, and the trunk is exceptionally large. It also has one of the highest predicted reliability ratings in the class.
Not every number associated with the Challenger is superb, though. Its fuel economy ratings are one of the lowest in our sports car ranking. Crash-test results are also mixed, resulting in a safety score that's lower than its rivals.
Should I Buy the Dodge Challenger?
The Dodge Challenger is an excellent choice if you want a two-door pony car that's practical enough for everyday living. You should also buy a Challenger if you enjoy bragging about your specs. Few cars come with engines as powerful as the Challenger's, and not many can compete with the straight-line performance of its top trims.
However, it's not very agile on curvy roads, where it can't match the lively dynamics offered up by the Ford Mustang or the Chevy Camaro. To decide between this trio, shoppers should first decide the type of performance that best matches their driving style.
Should I Buy a New or Used Dodge Challenger?
If you're deciding between a new and used Challenger, there are a few essential things to be aware of. The Challenger undergoes a number of changes for 2019. Most of these relate to a reshuffling of features between the trim levels, but there are also some newly available performance upgrades. This makes it a little tricky to compare new Challengers with used versions. In general, however, if you aren't drooling over the all-wheel-drive base SXT or range-topping Redeye, you'll save money by purchasing a used Challenger.
For the most part, the core characteristics of this vehicle have changed very little since its reintroduction for 2008. The Challenger was refreshed for 2015, though technophiles will want to stay with 2017 and newer Challengers, as these are available with an upgraded infotainment interface, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. If you're eyeing a special edition, you'll also need to pay attention to model years. For example, all-wheel-drive GT models were launched in 2017, and the Hellcat Demon was only built for the 2018 model year.
Our goal is to make shopping for your next car as easy as possible. You'll find everything you need to know about the Dodge Challenger in our comprehensive review. It combines concrete data (like fuel economy estimates, horsepower specs, and cargo space dimensions) with 67 professional Dodge Challenger reviews.
How Much Does the Dodge Challenger Cost?
The base price of a 2019 Challenger starts at $27,295, which is a couple of thousand dollars more than entry-level editions of the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. A total of six trim levels are available this year, including the $29,995 Challenger GT, the $28,650 Challenger SRT Hellcat, and the $69,650 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.

What The Latest Lyst Index Says About Digital Fashion
by Hetty Mahlich on 20 October 2021
Balenciaga and Gucci are revealed as the hottest brands for the third quarter of 2021, having embraced gaming and digital fashion.
There's a glaringly obvious pattern emerging in luxury fashion - embrace the digital or risk becoming irrelevant to the consumer. Over the past 18 months, the digitisation of fashion has seen Gucci, Balenciaga and Nike repeatedly come out on top. Their genuine and consistent embrace of digital technology has resulted in these brands returning to economic growth following a tricky 2020. The new Lyst Index report for the third quarter of 2021 suggests little has changed - brands' digital activations have only gotten better.
BEING DIGITALLY SAVVY
Analysing consumer behaviour on the Lyst shopping platform, across 17,000 brands throughout July to September 2021, the index reports that Balenciaga have overtaken Gucci as 2021's hottest brand, having started the year out in fourth place. This comes as little surprise following Kim Kardashian's meme-worthy Met Gala appearance which resulted in searches for the brand spiking 505%. This year, creative director Demna Gvasalia revived the brand's couture line after 53 years, shifting his focus to reframe the luxury offering at Balenciaga, moving away from the hype of the 'Triple S' sneakers. After presenting the A/W 21 ready-to-wear collection in a video-game scenario Afterworld using AR technology, in 2021 Gvasalia teamed up with the cult gaming platform Fortnite to create Balenciaga skins and an accompanying IRL capsule collection, finding the sweet spot between virtual and real worlds, a defining feature of the Metaverse fashion is moving towards.
Closing Paris Fashion Week by making the fashion industry walk the red carpet before screening a special Balenciaga episode of The Simpsons featuring Anna Wintour, how Gvasalia has approached questioning what luxury means and who it belongs to has resulted in an undeniable internet buzz. Ultimately, Balenciaga is in the lead when it comes to creating covetable clothes people want to wear, both on and offline.
Gucci have undeniably been a pioneering force in legitimising the gamification of fashion, launching their virtual sneaker hub at the end of last year and hosting spaces on gaming platforms Roblox and Zepeto. During Milan Fashion Week in September 2021, they launched Vault, an experimental online concept store where visitors can explore the brand's past through archive pieces and even 'paint' themselves wearing the clothes, and uncover emerging designers such as Priya Ahluwalia whom they mightn't have come across before. In the second quarter, Gucci sales grew 86% in the last quarter, despite slowing Asia sales.
Prada's S/S 22 womenswear show saw co-creative directors Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada host physical shows in Milan and Shanghai, live streamed simultaneously with models walking in time with their digital siblings. This reflects the trend towards the Asian market which has emerged over recent months due to their previously accelerated recovery from COVID-19.
Reporting a 66% increase in revenue for the first half of the year, despite lukewarm responses from the industry's critics, what could be argued as a more commercially-driven design approach from Simons seems to be working for the brand, which has long struggled to match industry hype to sales. Bottega Veneta will also use live streaming to invite viewers to watch the S/S 22 show in Detroit this Thursday 20 October, which viewers can watch via SHOWstudio.
CREATING CULTURAL MOMENTS
By successfully engaging with URL spaces such as gaming, brands can realise ample opportunity to create significant cultural moments which resonate with consumers. That's exactly why Balenciaga was the winner, if you will, of Paris Fashion Week S/S 22. However Gvasalia has also harnessed the power of celebrity and music to do so, with Kardashian's Met Gala appearance preceded by Kanye West's Donda listening party. Decking out West in a spiked jacket from Balenciaga A/W 20, Gvasalia's role as creative director for the night was the catalyst for the viral Kardashian re-brand we've seen since.
In Milan, Donatella Versace tapped Dua Lipa to provide the soundtrack, opening and closing the S/S 22 show. The Medusa Aevitas platforms she wore are Lyst's second hottest women's product, whilst as Lil Nas X's internet-breaking metallic suit of armour has gone down in Met Gala history. Teaming up with Fendi for their surprise Fendace collection, Versace and Fendi place eighth and ninth in the Lyst Index's hottest brands.
Elsewhere, Givenchy places 17th on the list. Matthew Williams dressed Beyoncé and JayZ for their controversial About Love Tiffany & Co campaign, and premiered two tracks from Young Thug's then-unreleased new album at his first show with an audience in Paris. LA-based brand ERL is a new-comer in men's hottest products, placing fifth - likely a result of being adorned by musicians such as Justin Bieber and A$AP Rocky.

Q: How to add up all the values in an ArrayList or convert to ArrayList I'm trying to add up all the values inside of an ArrayList but nothing allows me to get the sum. I have to find the average of the numbers pulled from a text file.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    File file = new File("C:\\Users\\[REDACTED]\\Desktop\\mbox.txt");
    Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);
    ArrayList<Integer> ConfidenceLevels = new ArrayList<>();
    String [] DSPAM;
    String line;

    while(inputFile.hasNext())
    {
        line = inputFile.nextLine();
        if(line.startsWith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"))
        {
            DSPAM = line.split(" 0");
            int x = Integer.parseInt(DSPAM[1].trim());
            ConfidenceLevels.add(x);
        }
    }
    System.out.println(ConfidenceLevels);
    System.out.println(ConfidenceLevels.size());
}

A: You are just adding elements to the list.
If you want the sum of them, you can create an Integer variable and add it.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    File file = new File("C:\\Users\\[REDACTED]\\Desktop\\mbox.txt");
    Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);
    Integer confidenceLevelsSum = 0;
    String [] DSPAM;
    String line;

    while(inputFile.hasNext())
    {
        line = inputFile.nextLine();
        if(line.startsWith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:"))
        {
            DSPAM = line.split(" 0");

            // Check if it's null before trying to convert it.
            if (DSPAM[1] == null) {
                continue;
            }

            int x = Integer.parseInt(DSPAM[1].trim());
            confidenceLevelsSum += x;
        }
    }
    System.out.println(confidenceLevelsSum);
}

A: You can try use IntSummaryStatistics and you can get min/max/average/sum of this list.
    IntSummaryStatistics intSummaryStatistics = ConfidenceLevels.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).summaryStatistics();
    System.out.println(intSummaryStatistics.getAverage());
    System.out.println(intSummaryStatistics.getMin());
    System.out.println(intSummaryStatistics.getMax());
    System.out.println(intSummaryStatistics.getSum());

I told y'all earlier how I was able to make this trip happen. What I didn't tell you was exactly what I paid for my flight in order to get the ball rolling with planning.
I literally booked my flight in December, less than three months ago when sometimes it could take over a year to plan a big trip. Me, nah, I usually find the flight deal, then plan the trip according to my budget at the time. Travel agent? What's that? A year? Chile, the way my moods are set up, I'm lucky to have six months of consistency in my life.
So, for years I have been searching flight prices to the "Motherland." I had finally settled on three places I would target as my starting countries to visit: Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. I crossed out South Africa when I decided I wanted to be surrounded by more melanin.
One day in December, I searched googleflights.com and low and behold, the deal of a lifetime came through for Kenya so that became my choice. Y'all, I purchased my flight for $521 on United Airlines. Not only did I get such an amazing deal but, I have another little secret that I used to make this trip happen.
So, what did I do? I took a screenshot of the deal, created an account with Airfordable.com and had them purchase my ticket on layaway. Layaway? Yep, layaway.
Airfordable.com is a black owned company that I have watched online for a while. Black owned? Yaaassssss!
I had no problem "laying away" this ticket, even though there was a fee to do so. The fee was extremely minimal (around $30) in comparison to how much I would have paid for the ticket in a normal situation.
From there, I made three bi-weekly payments until my payment was complete. At that point, the owners of Airfordable sent me my ticket and I was booked, ready to finalize the rest of the trip.
Along with how I previously told you I saved for this trip, I also secured my Airbnb accommodations immediately after doing my research and keeping my budget in tact. Easy peasy!
Also, we were fed so well on the flight, I think I made up at least $100 in food and unlimited alcohol alone.
Keep the complimentary alcohol coming!
And yes, whatever you've dreamed of doing, seeing or discovering, you, too, can and should make it happen, without compromising your responsibilities.
As I always say, life is short. I be damned if I'm gonna be on my death bed regretting something I've always wanted to do. If you need help with ideas, planning, or even inspiration, let me know.
I think I read something about the layaway program in Essence. I just took a screenshot of those websites cause I really want to go to the Motherland.
I'm definitely taking notes, especially for when these boys become more independent and I can get away more!!! Yesssssss!!!! More alone time!

Discussion in 'TalkCeltic News' started by V For Vendetta, Apr 3, 2019.
Celtic came into this match without Kieran Tienery and Dedrick Boyata who both went off injured against Rangers on Sunday. There was much talk before this game that Marvin the hun stomper Compper would be making his much anticipated Celtic league debut following his move from RB Leipzig 2 years ago, those reports were of course false as the German was spotted walking his pet cat instead. Jozo Simunovic lined up alongside the ever improving Kris Ajer who for me and many was man of the match on Sunday, the Norwegian is growing into the player that many people had hoped he would become. Also starting was Timo Weah, the young American has impressed many fans with his passion and ability during his loan spell so far. There was no place in the 18 for Jonny Hayes, which i found disappointing considering he was very impressive during his 45 min against Rangers.
St Mirren manager Oran Kearney mentioned prior to the match that he would be selecting a side with the more important match away to Hamilton on Saturday in mind, and with that he did indeed make a number of changes as St Mirren lined up with a number of squad players such as James Kellermann who hadn't even made an appearance this season up until tonight, a big chance for him and a number of St Mirren players to make them selves hero's.
St Mirren set up in a 532/352 and aimed to stay compact hitting Celtic on the break, it also meant that Celtic's ageing full backs would be needed tonight offensively more than ever to help create overloads out wide so Celtic don't get stuck in the final third. Celtic set up in a 4-3-3 with Burke down the centre with Weah and Forrest on the flanks, there was sure to be some positional rotation through out between the three forwards as Celtic would have to be imaginative in order to break through what looked a compact St Mirren team.
The game started and straight away Celtic dominated possession moving the ball about trying to find a * in St Mirren's armour. Forrest won a free kick out wide and this gave Celtic an early opportunity to test St Mirren but the ball in from Emilio Izagurrie wasn't great. Kris Ajer had Celtic's first real chance when he shot over inside the box early after a lovely ball was played to him on his stride by Callum McGregor, it was a sign of things to come for St Mirren.
A series of niggling fouls from both sides disrupted the games flow but it didn't take long for Celtic to take the lead on the 15th minute mark, some good Celtic passing from the back saw Celtic create an overload on the right hand side with both Forrest and Lustig in good positions, Lustig received the ball on the overlap and fired it towards goal with the keeper saving it and the ball flicking up into the air Timo Weah flew in and met it with his head, the Americans header hit the bar and bounced on the line before a scramble saw the ball cleared but referee decided the ball had crossed the line and Celtic took the lead, it was an excellent decision from the officials as the ball had crossed the line.
It was the start Celtic and Weah craved with the American then picking the ball up in St Mirren's half and beating two men before being pulled back giving Celtic another good chance with a set play which they again wasted. Confidence was flowing from Celtic and Oli Burke should of really made it 2 shortly after the 18th minute when more good passing out from the back from Celtic saw James Forrest and Callum McGregor link up well with Forrest getting by his man on the right and playing the ball into Oli Burke inside the St Mirren penalty area but the Scotsman dragged his shot wide. It was all Celtic with St Mirren unable to hold onto the ball in any area and constantly fouling Celtic inside there own half.
Timo Weah once again went on a mazy run as he picked the ball up wide left and drove at the St Mirren backline beating 3 men and got to the byline only to see the penalty area was completely empty of Celtic jerseys???, anyhow he won a corner for Celtic which was met by Lustig who fired it into the stands. Timo Weah had started the game superbly and it was great to see the American playing with a smile on his face. Some neat link up play between Lustig, Burke and Forrest saw Burke get in behind the St Mirren defence on the right but looking up he once again saw a grand total of zero Celtic bodies in the box, this is something i feel we really need to work on and something we miss with Christie out injured, Brown McGregor and Ntcham are all deeper sitting players and don't really gamble inside the box with late runs, that being said Celtic were absolutely butchering St Mirren down the flanks and the buddies just couldn't get into the game.
Emilio Izagurrie was the next Celtic player to get by his man down the flanks, he beat two men with a lovely nutmeg and fired the ball towards goal with the keeper parrying it up into the air, what happened next was utterly * with Kellermann completely mis-judging the flight of the ball and it hit his hand giving Celtic a penalty out of absolutely nothing. Oli Ntcham stepped up to take the spot kick and did one of those * stupid stutter run up's and the keeper did the right thing and didn't move which forced Ntcham to hit the ball poorly to his right and the St Mirren keeper saved well, Ntcham managed to get to the rebound but hit the bar. Off topic i personally cant see Ntcham being here for next season, the Frenchman looks completely disinterested and is very slow and lethargic in his movements something that is so frustrating considering he can be a really good player when he wants to be.
Celtic remained in complete control of the game passing the ball around with absolute ease before getting into the St Mirren half were the home side were set in in a deep block which in truth wasn't working to well as Celtic got in behind out wide time and time again, Timo Weah and Oli Burke played a good 1-2 on the edge of the area with the American going clean through but his touch let him down.
Half time came and it was Celtic 1-0 St Mirren, a half Celtic completely dominated with the Hoops having 8 shots to St Mirren's 1 and a massive 79% possession, would this come back to haunt them? Unlikely but you never no.
The second half carried on from the first with Celtic utterly dominant, Oliver Burke was having a good game as the lone forward and found him self looking down upon goal once more after some more good Celtic play but his shot was well saved, McGregor then had a good effort from range following a cleared cross. St Mirren reminded Celtic that they were in a match when a long ball forward once again bypassed Jozo Simunovic and Cooke hit a decent long range effort which forced Bain into a good save at the expense of a corner. The corner came in and St Mirren won the first contact with Nazon winning the 2nd contact but putting it wide, a wake up call for the Hoops.
St Mirren began getting a foot hold in the game with the buddies leaving both Cooke and Nazon up front at all times which gave them good chances to counter when they won the ball back, Jozo Simunovic in particular was guilty of giving away some sloppy fouls up agains the St Mirren forwards when they broke. St Mirren then had there best chance of the match when Brown fouled Kellermann in the middle of the park, a quick free kick saw Nazon go clean through on goal but a poor touch, a Lustig slide tackle and some good keeping from Bain saw the St Mirren forward fluff the chance, Celtic were being extremely sloppy with and without the ball much to Lennon's frustration.
The 60 minute mark came and Oli Ntcham passed the ball out of play when looking for Weah, the Frenchman had looked poor all evening truth be told following his penalty miss, he seemed to be playing the game 3 levels slower than everyone else and not in a good way, at that Lennon looked towards his bench with Rogic, Christie and Edouard all viable options. It was indeed Ryan Christie who came on for Ntcham on the 63rd minute. Stephen McGinn also made way for St Mirren with Brad Lyons replacing him.
Oli Burke and James Forrest linked up well again wide right with Forrest playing the ball to Christie inside the area, Christie managed to toe poke a decent effort towards goal but once again he found the St Mirren goalkeeper more than a match. Some more tasty tackles and events happened in and around the 70th minute mark with Ajer getting booked for a poor tackle and both Brown and Nazon arguably lucky not to be sent off for a stamp and elbow respectively. Fillip Benkovic came on for Mika Lustig while Simione Jackson came on for Duck Nazon as both sides looked to change things up a little.
The final 15 minutes were upon us and it was still an edgy game which it really shouldn't of been, Ryan Christie's introduction had injected some much needed life in Celtic's play but truth be told Celtic were still moving the ball far to slowly and allowing St Mirren to sit back and make Celtic's life difficult, Kris Ajer was trying to step inside and bring the ball forward were possible but even that was rarity with St Mirren's forwards blocking the route off. Odsonne Edouard then came on for Timo Weah just before the 80th minute, the American had a brilliant first half and hopefully we will see more of him in the coming weeks.
We entered the final 10 minutes and Odsonne Edouard burst forward beating a couple of players with some silky step overs before his shot was blocked. Jozo Simunovic was finally booked in the 83rd minute after his 3rd foul for being to tight to his man. It was a nervy ending for Celtic but they finally finished the game when Ryan Christie fired home on the 85th minute. Celtic moved the ball well across the St Mirren box before the ball found its way to Ryan Christie on the edge of the box, a good false run from Callum McGregor saw him drag a man away which meant Christie could fire home from the edge of the box. It was a goal that Christie and Celtic deserved. St Mirren responded well with some neat play down the left and a good ball across the box was cleared by Jozo Simunovic, St Mirren met the rebound but Christie cleared the ball off the line and preserved Celtic's two goal lead. Very little happened after that with Celtic holding onto the ball with no real attacking purpose while St Mirren tried break where possible but to no avail.
The full time whistle came and Celtic were 2-0 victors, truth be told it was a very dominant Celtic performance with a number of good individual performances, but the 2 goal win was an unsatisfactory result in many respects after it looked like Celtic would go on and win by 5 or 6 after a fast start. Credit to St Mirren who made a real game of it in the second half with what was a 2nd string team. Neil Lennon looked frustrated towards the end of the game which is understandable, the man is fighting to keep the job full time but we just cant seem to kill teams off, a lack of bodies in the box and slow play is a massive contribution to that.
However Celtic are now two wins away from their 8th league title in a row, next up for the Hoops is a home game against Livingston on Saturday (3pm KO - Celtic TV), I think I speak for a lot of Celtic fans when i say I would love to see more of Weah the young American was excellent in the first half tonight, credit to Izzy who played well this evening and also Ryan Christie who was excellent when he came on. We could see some retrospective action against Scott Brown and also Duck Nazon, while Celtic fans threw a fire cracker on the pitch which blew up near the St Mirren goal keeper after the 2nd goal, the keeper got an ear ache but expect to see that in the news tomorrow as an organised IRA attack and a threat to Scottish football.

As an adult, it is easy to look back and think how ridiculous the whole situation was. This girl had things pretty rough at home and it was probably a major reason why she bullied me.
In retrospect, it is easy to think, "I should have just been assertive and stood up for myself," but at the time, I wasn't a confident adult; I was a 10 year old girl who was being bullied by someone who was older and bigger than I was. I can still remember the feeling I got every time I saw her. My stomach would start doing summersaults, my knees felt like Jell-O and I would feel so nauseous it was amazing that I never threw up in front of her.
39% of grade 7 students and 28% of grade 10 students in Halton, reported being bullied at school at some point during the 2009/2010 school year.
While most bullying happens at school, it can happen anywhere children are together. As adults, we need to be concerned abut bullying. Both children who are victims and children who bully are at risk for developing a wide variety of emotional and behavioural problems as they get older.
We know that bullying can be a difficult issue to manage. It can be especially emotional for a parent who as a child was a victim of bullying. So what is a parent to do? There are resources available to support you. There are also strategies that children can use if they are being bullied, are the bully or are the bystander.
Remember that attitudes toward managing bullying have changed since you were a kid. Old bullying myths such as "adults should stay out of it" or "kids just have to learn to stand up for themselves" no longer hold true. Research has shown that when a child is being bullied, there is an imbalance of power. The child who is bullying has all of the power and often the victim is unable to stand up for themselves. Sometimes when children do stand up for themselves, especially when they come across aggressively, it can also prolong the bullying or make it worse.
Bullying is definitely a tough topic. This makes it all the more important that we as parents and adults take it seriously. We need learn more about the motivations and impact of bullying in order to help our children overcome it.

Anna Larke, the girlfriend of Justin Lee Collins, blackmailed the British TV presenter in an attempt to get £20,000 ($31,000), a court heard.
Anna Larke, 38, allegedly told the former Friday Night Project host that she would "go to the police" and "hurt" him if she did not get the money.
Anna Larke described the claim, made by Justin Lee Collins' defence counsel, as "absolute lies".
Justin Lee Collins, also 38, of Kew, south-west London, denies harassment, causing fear of violence at St. Albans Crown Court.
Sonia Woodley QC, defending Justin Lee Collins, said: "You told him <<Give me £20,000 or I'm going to hurt you and I'm going to go to the police>>."
Anna Larke, who had a nine-month relationship with Justin Lee Collins, denied the claim.
She said: "Oh my God, that's absolute lies. I've never said that."
Sonia Woodley said Justin Lee Collins sent Anna Larke a text message that said: "I've offered you all sorts of help, but I'm not getting involved in blackmail."
Anna Larke, a public relations worker who was unemployed at the time of the alleged offences, said: "If I had just wanted money I would have gone straight to the press."
Earlier, jurors were told Justin Lee Collins had smacked and sworn at Anna Larke.
Penelope Larke, her mother, said: "He called her all the names under the sun, terrible names."
Anna Larke had also told her mother that Justin Lee Collins had hit her in the face on one occasion but had asked her to keep it secret.
"She said: <<Mum I have to tell you something, you have to promise me first that you won't say anything to anybody>>, and then she said he smacked her and swears at her," Penelope Larke told the court.
"She told me he smacked her in the private parts. I told her it wasn't a very healthy relationship and that she should just pack her bags and come home."
Her husband, Jeremy Larke, said his daughter had dismissed attempts to talk about the "reddish marks" he saw on her face and arms when she paid them a visit during her relationship with Justin Lee Collins.
He told the court that once Anna Larke moved back to the family home she said Justin Lee Collins had assaulted her during a trip to America.
Jeremy Larke told police his daughter had told them he had grabbed her hair and dragged her around the room.
In court, he said: "It was a great shock to me. I can't believe he would beat her up."
The alleged harassment happened between January and August last year.

Q: .Net 4 Framework Object Caching and Tags I had a look at .Net Framework Object Caching (System.Runtime.Caching) API and I do not see any support for attaching "tags" to cached objects.
I was looking for an API similar to that of AppFabric which can support attaching tags to cached objects and then retrieving the objects based on the tag.
Are there any publicly available libraries built on top on System.Runtime.Caching which can achieve this?

A: Having had a look at the System.Runtime.Caching namespace, I think it would be (very) difficult (though not necessarily impossible) to extend it to include tagging. If you look at the members for ObjectCache, which appears to be the base class for caches, there is no support in the methods for tags (and no forthcoming support either if you look at the .NET 4.5 preview).
Obviously methods can be overloaded to provide for tags, but CacheItem then also needs extending to add a Tags property. I'd be concerned then that for any kind of tag-based search methods similar to the GetObjectsByTag / ByAllTags / ByAnyTag supported by AppFabric, the cache would be reduced to iterating through all the CacheItems and examining them one by one which might not have the effect on performance that you might hope for (although that said, I can see that a database-based cache might have advantages in that regard).
There's also no support (and again, none forthcoming) in the DefaultCacheCapabilities enumeration for tags, so there's no way for an API to signal to any callers that it can use tags.

Tri-Rail targets third quarter 2019 runs to downtown Miami
Written by Rebecca San Juan on August 7, 2018
Mobility options are expected to widen for residents in Miami-Dade, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach late next year. Tri-Rail trains are to arrive in downtown Miami by the third quarter of 2019, opening up a larger labor force to employers and more access to attractions and entertainment across South Florida.
All Aboard Florida's express passenger rail project Brightline and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's Tri-Rail then will both be rolling from the MiamiCentral station in the Government Center area to neighboring counties.
Rail partners have invested $70 million to establish the Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Link, funding 26 trains and nine miles of new rail infrastructure. The 450-person capacity of each train will provide a one-seat ride to and from downtown Miami.
Construction of the Tri-Rail portion is to be finished by September, according to South Florida Regional Transportation Authority Executive Director Jack Stephens.
But passenger service isn't expected to start until next July, August or September due to federally required approvals. The examinations relate to Positive Train Control, a branch of control engineering. Trials will test control units at a variety of speed levels to avoid accidents such as collisions and separations.
Mr. Stephens said he expects that testing phase to conclude by December. Afterward, Brightline needs to request for an expansion from the Florida Railroad Administration, allowing Tri-Rail to access the Miami Central Station. Tri-Rail then would step in to test and install equipment connected to its trains.
Computer-simulated models predict an outpouring of interest from new riders and regulars alike for the 26 daily Tri-Rail trips. About 2,000 riders from Fort-Lauderdale and West Palm Beach would be flocking to downtown Miami on day one alone, of whom 1,000 riders are expected to be first-time passengers, those models predict.
The majority of travelers from the first day onward are likely to be part of the workforce, said Mr. Stephens, and it presents a long-term opportunity for employers.
"Major companies that are looking for qualified labor candidates and employers have a much larger area to draw from as a result of our service," Mr. Stephens said.
Time off the road is possibly time wisely invested elsewhere for many passengers.
"We emphasize the personal freedom to do whatever you want to do as opposed to sitting there, paying attention when driving in traffic," Mr. Stephens said.
Train rides tend to take longer than driving but allow passengers to shift their attention elsewhere besides the road. Take the journey from Miami to West Palm Beach: depending on traffic, it will last two hours on Tri-Rail as opposed to about an hour's drive, Mr. Stephens said. Regardless, he said, professionals tend to work from their laptops and students catch up on their homework or reading.
Local attractions and businesses close to the downtown Miami station may benefit, too. Mr. Stephens recognizes the developments rising across Miami and sees how trains stopping at Tri-Rail's several locations drop their passengers off steps away from a number of entertainment options.
The expanding connectivity options strengthen the economy and interconnectivity across the region, Mr. Stephens said: "Miami is still the economic major engine in South Florida. Everybody understands that, but it's beginning to be challenged due to its own success. The more mobility options – and we're one – that we can put at the hands of the residents of South Florida, the better off our community economics are for the state and for South Florida."

One – means the first.
It is the simplest number but also the most complex one in terms of its cultural meaning in Chinese culture.
It is neither auspicious nor inauspicious.
In most cases, it is a lucky number in Chinese culture as Chinese people think all good things com in pairs..
Lack of evidence. Skeptics argue that numbers have no occult significance and cannot by themselves influence a person's life. Skeptics, therefore, regard numerology as a superstition and a pseudoscience that uses numbers to give the subject a veneer of scientific authority.
The number eight is considered to be a lucky number in Chinese and other Asian cultures. Eight (八; accounting 捌; pinyin bā) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word meaning to generate wealth (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: fā). Property with the number 8 may be valued greatly by Chinese.
The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject.
"God" or "Lord" appear in the King James Bible a total of 10,875 times. 1 plus 8 plus 7 plus 5 equals 21, or 7 times 3. There are 22 chapters in Revelation (see # 9), and the last chapter contains no violence of any kind.

The number 4 (四, pinyin: sì; Cantonese Yale: sei) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死 pinyin: sǐ; Cantonese Yale: séi).
'Money Number' 5 people are often rewarded by the cosmos for their positive attitude and deeds. 6 is the number of 'abundance' and the 6 'Money Number' person sometimes inherits money or shares family wealth, as 6 is the number associated with family and gifts.
Angel Number 777 brings a message from your angels that you are on the right path and living and serving your Divine life purpose. The Universe is happy with your progress and due to your positive efforts and hard work you have earned your rewards. Number 777 relates to number 3 (7+7+7=21, 2+1=3) and Angel Number 3.
The first meaning that we can relate to number 1 are new beginnings. This number is a symbol of a new fresh start that is going to happen in your life. … Number 1 is known not only as a symbol of new beginnings, but also as a symbol of motivation, self-leadership and intuition.
A person with Life Path Number 1 tends to be hard working, a natural born leader, with a pioneering spirit that is full of energy, and a passion for art. … Those with Life Path Number 1 are likely to be very independent and feel the need to make up their own mind about things and follow their own personal convictions.
Personality Number 1 indicates a person who seems single minded, determined and capable.
According to the American publication, the Orthodox Study Bible, 777 represents the threefold perfection of the Trinity. The number 777, as triple 7, can be contrasted against triple 6, for the Number of the Beast as 666 (rather than variant 616). Also the meaning of God Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

They think outside the box and have a unique approach to day-to-day life issues. They are optimistic and have a childish side to them that makes them endearing yet annoying.
It may be the time to think of a new relationship, but also to think what are you exactly expecting from your partner. We have already said that angel number 1 is a symbol of new beginnings, which can mean that a new phase in your love life is waiting for you.

Doncaster man jailed for subjecting ex-partner to beatings and threatening to kill her and her eight-year-old son
"Being abused by someone you love is the worst kind of betrayal you can experience,' an abuse victim said, as the Doncaster man who subjected her to beatings and threatened to murder her and her young son was jailed.
By Sarah Marshall
Wednesday, 15 May, 2019, 18:17
Defendant, Thomas Hooks, held his head in his hands, as the heartbreaking victim personal statement of his former partner was read to Sheffield Crown Court today.
"I have found that being abused by someone you love is the worst kind of betrayal you can experience. This has made me think it's almost impossible to imagine a life where I'm happy," said the woman.
Thomas Hooks
She added: "Now I feel that I can't trust anyone again, including myself."
Susan Evans, prosecuting, described how as the relationship between Hooks, aged 42, and the complainant began to deteriorate, Hooks began monitoring her calls and text messages and demanded access to her social media accounts.
Matters came to a head during a series of violent incidents in March this year.
On the first occasion, Hooks, of Truro Avenue, Wheatley Hills dragged the complainant into her bedroom after becoming enraged that she had not made him any food.
"He demanded she take her clothes off and cuddle him, but she refused to," said Ms Evans.
The following day, Hooks became angry again over a drawing the complainant's eight-year-old son had done of his mother and father, because it did not include him.
"He pulled her on to the bed and put a pillow over her face. Her son came into the room to see if she was alright," said Ms Evans.
The complainant managed to get away from Hooks, and took her son to his room in attempt to reassure him that everything was alright, the court heard.
Hooks subsequently got a bag of dust sheets that the couple had been using to decorate and ordered the complainant to put one on her head when she returned to the bedroom.
But when she refused, he ripped her shirt off and put the dust sheets by the side of the bed.
Hooks subsequently told her: "This is the night I murder you, and your c*** of a son."

He then put a 10-inch knife to her temple, before moving it to her throat, while asking her if she was going to 'watch her son die'.
Hooks then put the knife in the complainant's hand and told her to stab him, but she left the room instead.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by beating and one count of making threats to kill at an earlier hearing.
Joy Merriam, defending, told the court that Hooks was a dad-of-three who had no previous convictions, and prior to this spate of offending, had led an otherwise 'blameless and industrious life'.
"What happened in this relationship is quite difficult to comprehend, it's clear that she deeply loved him and he deeply loved her, but something went terribly wrong," said Ms Merriam.
She added that Hooks had always struggled with an alcohol problem, but it had recently begun to 'spiral out of control'.
Ms Merriam said that since his remand into custody, Hooks had managed to overcome his alcohol problems and now hoped to become an alcohol counsellor so he can 'help others' and stop them from falling into the 'same terrible pattern of offending he has'.
Judge Peter Kelson QC jailed Hooks for three years, and granted a restraining order, banning him from contacting the complainant until a further order of the court is made.
He described Hooks' behaviour towards the complainant as 'dreadful, controlling and coercive'.
"Your risk of harm is assessed as being a high risk of serious harm to your victim and any future partners. You are also assessed as being a high risk to any children in any future relationships. That's worrying in the extreme," added Judge Kelson.
- South Yorkshire Police have been asked to provide a custody image of Hooks

Panthers Score Game-Winning TD With 2 Seconds Left
Where Cato really left his mark on the game, though, was on the Panthers' final drive.
The former Gainesville High School star led Florida Tech on a 77-yard drive in the game's final 1:41, picking up two crucial first downs on scrambles before connecting with tight end Gabe Hughes in the back of the end zone for the game-winning score with two seconds remaining on the clock.

I went off to the city for appointments in my ugg boots because my feet are too swollen for any of my other shoes. My pain levels which have been constant and chronic for months, creep slowly higher and my mobility steadily decreases. I'm into the window now where baby is going to be okay whenever she comes, and could turn up any day in the next few weeks.
My body is tired. I have developed a skin infection on my leg (which is part of why I'm swelling up so much) and I'm on antibiotics for that. Yesterday I had an emergency dental appointment where they diagnosed a bad gum infection which was cleaned out under a local – the relief is immense! They also considered repacking a suspected infected root canal but as it will definitely trigger bad jaw pain and is not 100% certain to be infected (the xray might be showing infection or might be scar tissue from previous severe infections) I've decided to turn that down until after baby arrives. It was very stressful as the local anaesthetic and low blood pressure made me unsafe to drive myself home and I wound up needing rescue by my Mum as well as having to make difficult calls on the spot about what to do with varying degrees of unknown risk to baby and my own health. I'm very happy it's over.
My doctor has put me onto rest with my feet up, and leg massages to ease the stress on my lymph system, so I'm having to let go of nesting and transition to rest mode – eat lots of small, soft foods and soup, drink lots of water, nurture myself and look after my headspace so I'm feeling ready for labour whenever that starts. Rose is needed at home more to look after me and help me get to appointments, as I'm less able to drive or deal with the walk from buses and we still have to get into midwife appointments at the hospital and doctors and so on.

P.E.I. Potato Industry Launches New Brand Designs
Following significant market research and rounds of development and consultation, the P.E.I. Potato Board has unveiled a new logo and new packaging designs aimed at further strengthening the Prince Edward Island Potatoes brand.
The new logo blends historic brand identity cues, such as the shape of the Island and the familiar red and blue colours, with a modern look. According to potato board, the new logo serves as a consistent identifier of PEI Potatoes across both new industry packaging and private label packaging, and also serves as the new corporate logo for the board.
This new packaging design also blends the well-known look of burlap with modern elements such as recipes and social media links. Bags will identify the type of potatoes in the bag (russet, white, yellow, or red) and will be available in both poly and paper.
This new packaging design replaces the former industry bag that was primarily white with the previous Prince Edward Island Potatoes logo. The P.E.I. Potato Board says that to date, the industry has already received enthusiastic feedback from retail partners about the new packaging and branding.
Packaging is the No. 1 promotional asset for the potato industry, so efforts were made to ensure that the industry was leveraging the most potential benefit from packaging to promote Prince Edward Island Potatoes.
The project to update and optimize fresh potato packaging builds on work done by the industry over the last decade and culminated with a full review of existing packaging as well as packaging used by competitors in the Canadian fresh potato market.
The primary goals are for consumers to easily identify Prince Edward Island Potatoes in the competitive retail marketplace, as well as to make it easy to purchase that consistent, easily identifiable bag across multiple retailers.
The industry expects an increased volume of Prince Edward Island Potatoes to be sold in the newly developed industry packaging. A soft launch of new packaging began in the spring of 2015, but a full rollout of new packaging will take place this marketing season. For more information, visit the P.E.I. Potato Board.

In Trinidad and Tobago, the average person generates approximately 4 lbs of waste per day This amounts to approximately 1,000 tonnes of waste that reaches the landfill sites per day Apart from this, large quantities of waste are also improperly disposed of, and as a result, pollute our streets, drains, rivers, beaches and other environs.
The problem here, is that we generate too much waste, which has to be disposed somewhere, and in a manner that will not have adverse effects on our environment The most common disposal method of solid waste is the landfilling method. As the name implies, the process involves disposing waste in an open area, where it will be compacted with tractors, and then covered with earth.So, what in fact happens is that eventually the land is "filled up", hence the name.
This, of course is an over simplified explanation of a landfill. The Handbook of Solid Waste Management by Frank Kreith, defines a Sanitary Landfill as. "an engineered method of disposing solid wastes on land in a manner that protects human health and the environment Waste is spread in thin layers, compacted to the smallest practical volume, and covered with soil or other suitable material at the end of each working day, or more frequently, as necessary."
So, the system of landfilling is a lot more complex than just the dumping of rubbish It involves several engineering principles and a variety of specific technologies such as, landfill liner systems, leachate collection and treatment systems, landfill gas control and recovery methods, and other monitory systems.
You may be wondering why so much emphasis is being placed on landfilling. Well, the main reason is that, many persons may not be aware, but here in Trinidad, landfilling is our main method of final disposal. Also, landfills usually have a limited capacity or life span for accepting waste.
For some communities, this dilemma has already reached crisis level For others, the crisis still looms in the future In any case, the problems associated with solid waste generation and management will not disappear, and without action they are likely to become worse. Therefore, we need to prolong the life spans of our landfills. One way of doing this, is by implementing the proper landfilling practices, as we mentioned earlier The other way is to reduce the amount of waste that reaches the landfills.
Waste is a problem that plagues all human societies and T&T is no different. However, as a small island with such a fragile ecosystem and limited land space, the problems associated with improper waste management are magnified one hundred fold. According to statistics on solid waste generation the generation rate of garbage for the city of Port of Spain is 1.54 kg/inhabitant/day.
The problems are even more acute when consideration is given to the competing land uses and the existing waste disposal method of landfilling.Therefore, the need for land to be allocated to meet this demand requires the re-examination of present day disposal and land filling methods.
The Trinidad and Tobago Solid Waste Management Company Limited (SWMCOL) has been given the overall responsibility for waste management by central government and specific responsibility in the areas of the management of three landfill sites, industrial and commercial solid and liquid waste collection as well as paper and cardboard recycling activities.
In order to meet these challenges, Trinidad and Tobago needs to implement a National Integrated Waste Management System (NIWMS). The NIWMS would incorporate all the component parts to establish a waste system that moves all waste from generation source to final disposal.
The objective of implementing the NIWMS is to provide proper administration for both contractual and municipal collection crews with the provision of details on types of vehicles to be used, the collection routes and times, the contract period for contracted collectors, the establishment of transfer stations and the method of final disposal.
Within this system, the accompaniment of a revised waste characterization study will also assist in the selection of appropriate management strategies and will also look at the influence of political support and public education in the formulation of a comprehensive approach.
The implementation of an NIWMS is critical to the future of proper waste management in Trinidad and Tobago. This system of waste management incorporates the principles of the 4 R's – REduce, REuse, REcycle and REthink. It also looks at the aspect of waste diversion where the different waste types and processes required for special collection, transportation and final disposal are identified.
SWMCOL views the development and implementation of a NIWMS as the single most significant action required to achieve a sustainable and economically viable waste management system for Trinidad & Tobago. To date, this system is being looked at under the auspices of the Ministry of Local Government Several committees have been set up with key members to look at the different aspects of the Integrated Waste Management System. Implementation is expected to be phased through the different programmes which fall under the NIWMS. This implementation is in keeping with the millennium development goals and the objectives stated in the Vision 20/20 document for environmental sustainability.

Interview with Helen Brown, author of "Cleo: How an Uppity Cat Helped Heal a Family"
A few weeks ago I went to a friend's house for dinner. I had been at work that day, and helped a family farewell their twenty year old cat. Can you imagine – one member of the family, a teenager, had never known life without that cat. She had been a constant during births, deaths and multiple marriages. When losing a pet after such a long time the common thing to say is "ah, well, she's had a good innings" (a metaphor lost on the non-cricket lovers), but it's such a profound loss, losing a companion for such a big chunk of your life.
My friends, Kristina and Julia, started to talk animatedly about a book about an extraordinary cat, acquired in the most tragic circumstances. I tend to listen when these ladies recommend books as their taste is impeccable.
In the book they were talking about, Cleo: How an UppityCat Helped Heal a Family (also republished as "Cleo: How a Small Black Cat Helped Heal a Family), author Helen Brown confesses she was NOT a cat person. But her nine-year-old son Sam was. So when he heard someone telling Helen that her cat had just had kittens, he begged to see them.
Helen relented when Sam held one of the kittens in his hands. They agreed to adopt her when she was old enough. Sam even picked out her name.
One week later, Sam – on his way to the vet with an injured pigeon he found – was hit by a car and killed.
The family had forgotten about the new kitten. Weeks later, when they were still raw with grief, Cleo arrived. Helen felt they couldn't look after a cat now, things had changed – but Rob persuaded her. My friends were in tears as they described the book. Before the night's end a copy was tucked into my bag.
The story of Cleo, Sam, Rob, Helen and family is amazing, beautiful, incredibly sad and very moving. Impossible to stop reading.
So SAT is very pleased to be joined by Helen Brown, who – several successful books beyond Cleo – was still pleased to chat about this amazing book.
Author Helen Brown and family.
What is your day job?
I trained as a journalist and spent many years writing columns for New Zealand publications. I live in Melbourne these days. When I'm not writing books I'm tending to the needs of a dysfunctional "Siamese" called Jonah.
You weren't a cat person, yet you wrote a best-selling book about the role of a single cat in your life. How do you explain this transformation?
It wasn't till a small black cat called Cleo stepped into our lives that I witnessed the healing power of animals. She arrived on our doorstep a few weeks after our older son Sam had been run over and killed. I wanted to send her away, but the moment our younger son Rob set eyes on her I knew she had to stay. It was the first time I'd seen him smile since the funeral.
Your description of your vulnerability around loving an animal, especially in the wake of loss, is powerful:
"Cleo's lick on the back of my hand was startling, like a lover's first kiss. Part of me wanted to envelop her and never let go. The other part, so wounded, was wary of the tsunami of affection washing over me. To love is ultimately to lose. The unwritten contract that arrives with every pet is they're probably going to die before you do. The more devoted you are to them the more sorrow their departure will inflict. Opening my heart to Cleo would've been the equivalent of placing an already bruised organ on an airport tarmac and inviting planes to land on it."p41
How is it that we can love animals the way we do even though we believe we will outlive them?
As human relationships have become more tenuous in recent decades, the role of animals has become more important. Pets offer unconditional love at a level few humans seem able to give. People are willing to risk having their hearts broken for love of that calibre, even if it's just for a short time.
Why is it, do you think, that "a touch of a paw can work better than aspirin"?
Sometimes when we're in emotional or even physical pain, all we really need to do is take time out to nurture ourselves. Animals seem to know this at an instinctive level. Whenever anyone in our household's sick, Jonah's first to jump on their bed as if to say "Now settle down and let me nurse you." Besides, I've read that stroking an animal's fur can reduce blood pressure and lower the pulse rate. There's a lot more research to be done in that area.
Towards the end of Cleo's life she had two vets – one you refer to as 'tough vet', the other as 'soft vet'. What were the characteristics that made you label them this way and what changed your mind?
Cleo was nearly 24 years old. She was having terrible fits, could barely walk and her face was badly swollen. Soft Vet had a great bedside manner, and talked of sending her to Queensland for a kidney transplant, which he admitted had a low success rate. Soft Vet said all the right things, but I wasn't sure we wanted to put Cleo through radical surgery and more pain. We took her home to think about it. When Cleo started fitting badly we called Soft Vet. The receptionist was very cold. She said he wasn't available and told us to go somewhere else. That left us with Tough Vet, who was overly blunt, suggesting he put Cleo down on the spot.
When he saw how upset I was, he became a lot more understanding. Tough Vet helped extend Cleo's life enough for us to take her home, come to terms with what was happening, and say goodbye. He even knew about Cleo's favourite fast food joint, Chicken Man. Tough Vet was gruff, but under the surface was soft as butter.
Do you have any tips for vets and vet students in talking to owners about their pets?
Please remember how important animals are to people. That humble tabby may be someone's only friend, their counsellor and family.
One of the most striking things about Cleo is that she was one constant who accompanied a whole family through a host of experiences – trauma, loss, divorce, new love, international travel, emigration, illness. Have you heard from many readers about experiences their pets have accompanied them through?
I receive amazing emails from people all over the world. If writing Cleo has taught me anything it's that no matter where they live people are pretty much the same. There's nothing they wouldn't do for their kids - and they love their animals beyond words.
Can you tell us about the current non-humans in your life?
Jonah bounced into our lives six years ago just after I'd had a mastectomy. He was sold to us as a Siamese, though experts say he's something else. Personally, I think he's his own breed. I'm ashamed to say I bought him from a pet shop, but I was feeling vulnerable at the time and couldn't resist the blue-eyed clown who stretched his paw through the cage to touch me. I felt chosen! I wrote about Jonah in Cleo's sequel, AfterCleo Came Jonah. He's the opposite to Cleo in almost every way - male, vain and deeply insecure. Jonah blogs occasionally about his views on life and the challenges of cohabiting with a low life Scribbler. I love him to bits. He's taught me a lot - e.g. it's okay to have a medicated cat.
My first novel Tumbledown Manor has just come out in Australasia. It's being released in Germany, the US and other countries next year. That cat in it is based on one I fostered in New York City last year. The book gave me a chance to write about a few other animals too, along with the wonderful wildlife rescue work that's done in Australia.
Thank you Helen for sharing, and thanks also to Kristina and Julia - not only do you ladies have incredible taste in cats, but you're also a walking talking instant book club!

A Complete Guide on Klondike Game!
A Complete Overview on Blackjack Game!

The Ultimate Crypotocurrency Gambling Guide

Klondike solitaire is a card game in which the main table is made up of seven columns. To claim a victory in the klondike card, the players must shift all of their cards to the four suit foundation stacks, which are placed from Ace to King in sequential order. Each foundation stack has one suit of cards, which should be arranged in ascending order from Ace to King.
Introduction of Klondike
Klondike, also known as Canfield, is a one-player card game that is the best-known and most popular form of the patience or solitaire family, despite having one of the lowest success rates of any such game. As a result, it has generated a slew of variations, including Batsford, Easthaven, King Albert, Thumb and Pouch, Somerset or Usk, and Whitehead, as well as the American versions, Agnes and Westcliff. The triangular layout of the tableau, which builds in ascending order and packs in descending order, is a defining element of all versions.
What is the best way to play the Klondike Card Game?
When a player begins a new game, the first column on the playing table contains one card, column two contains two cards, and column three contains three cards, and so on, until column seven contains seven cards. The lowest card in the column is turned face up, while the other cards in the column stay face down.
Make all of the playable actions from the columns first. Any Aces should be moved to the foundations, and cards should be rearranged on the Tableau according to their numerical value in order.
A player can play a card in foundation or Tableau by moving it into the pile if it is playable (it follows the suit in descending order, or it has an alternate color to the last card played).
If a card isn't playable, it's discarded, and the top card in the discard pile can be used again.
A player can also remove the first three cards from the stack and set them face-up on the table, leaving just the third card exposed. If this card is playable, the player can play it; if it isn't, the player must select another set of three cards from the draw pile.
Klondike is primarily concerned with providing a pleasurable experience while also rejuvenating the brain by encouraging cognitive thinking.
If a player builds all four suits in increasing order from Ace to King in the foundation squares, they win Klondike solitaire. Frequently asked questions about Klondike and ways to improve gaming are answered below.
What exactly is the objective of Klondike?
The fundamental goal of the Klondike game is for a player to build up the four piles by stacking suits of cards in increasing order on the foundation squares (Ace-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Jack-Queen-King).
A player begins with a Tableau of seven columns, with one card in the first column, two cards in the second column, and seven cards in the seventh column. The space is produced when all of the cards are utilized in each of the seven columns, and a player can move any of their piles to arrange the cards in numerical order to better transfer to the foundation piles.
If a card from the Tableau or the drawcard is playable, the player should place it in the foundation pile or a playable area on the Tableau whenever they flip it over.
When an Ace becomes available, a player should use it to start one of the foundations by forming a new row above the Tableau. Each of the four Aces forms one of the four foundations, which must be built in increasing suit order, finishing with the King.
If the exposed card in each of the Tableau columns is of increasing suit, the player can move it to the foundation pile. If a 2 of spades is the top card on the Tableau, a player can transfer it to the foundation pile with an Ace of spades.
What distinguishes Klondike from solitaire?
Klondike is a kind of Solitaire, and there are a variety of Solitaire card games that may be played by one person. Each of the dozen solitaire games has its own set of regulations, and Klondike, being the most famous form of the solitary player card game, has its own set of laws.
Also Read:- A Complete Overview on Blackjack Game!
How to play Klondike Online?
Playing Klondike online is kind of similar to the offline game play. You just need to register to the online gaming website and simply start playing. As far as the rules are concerned, most of them stay similar to the standard version of the game.
To build the field, arrange the cards in seven columns. The first column has one card, the second contains two cards, and so on until the last or seventh column contains seven cards, all of which are face down.
Make any playable actions by rearranging cards in ascending order or shifting them to the foundation piles by flipping over the bottom card in each column.
The game begins with a player drawing three cards from the draw pile at a time, with only the third card displayed. If the card is playable, the player should play it; if not, a new set of three cards should be drawn.
If the card is playable, the player can access the card in the draw pile below it. In Klondike solitaire, if a player reaches a point when they can't persuade themselves to work through it, they lose the game.
Each of the four Ace cards is transferred to a new foundation pile in order to arrange cards in ascending order from Ace to King based on suit. If playable, the reveal card (top card) from the Tableau (draw pile) can be transferred to the newly established foundation pile if it follows the suit of ascending order.
When all of the cards in a Tableau column have been utilized, a player can fill the empty spot with a King or any pile with a King as the top card.
How to win in Klondike? Tips and Tricks
A winning approach begins with the first card drawn from the Draw deck; consider your options carefully before making any strategic moves.
When possible, a player should shift an Ace card to form a new foundation pile.
It's a good idea to reveal any concealed cards to determine if the suit matches the sequence you're working on right now.
If there isn't a King available, don't empty a Tableau column unless there is another pile with a King.
Variants of Klondike
Single Deck
Here are several single-pack Klondike variations:
Agnes (US variant): the stock is dealt in batches of seven on reserve piles, and everyone is available. Furthermore, the foundations' bases are determined by the twenty-ninth card dealt on the foundations.
Twenty-one cards are dealt into seven heaps of three, two face-down and one face-up, in Easthaven (also known as Aces Up). In this game, a vacancy can only be replaced by a king or a series of kings (although other rule sets simplify this and allow any card or sequence to be moved to a vacancy), and when a play comes to a halt, seven new cards are dealt to the tableau, one on top of each pile. Easthaven is a two-deck game that may be played with two or three decks. Double Easthaven or Gypsy are the names of the two-deck variation.
Nine Across: instead of seven columns of cards, nine are dealt in this version of Klondike. The player can pick which cards to use to create the foundations; for example, if one or more eights are revealed, the player can opt to build on eights, and the piles are built up as follows: 8-9-10-J-Q-K-Ace-2-3-4-5-6-7. When eights are built upon, sevens fill up the gaps, and so on. As many times as necessary, the stock is handed through one by one.
Somerset or Usk: similar to Klondike, but all cards are dealt in the same order: 10 in the first row, 9 in the second, and so on until there are only 3 cards left.
Thumb and Pouch: Any card or sequence in the tableau can be constructed onto another card of any suit other than its own (e.g., spades cannot be put over spades), and any card or sequence can fill gaps.
Whitehead: all cards are dealt face up, building is done by color (red on red, black on black), a series of cards of the same suit can be moved as a unit, and any card or sequence can fill a space.
Westcliff( US variant): Thirty cards are dealt into 10 piles of three cards, two face down and one face up, in the Westcliff (US form). Any card or sequence can be used to fill a spot in this game.
Kuipers: it is similar to Klondike, but with eight instead of seven columns. Turning one card to the rubbish at a time, with no limit on how many times you may go through the deck. The chances of winning are reduced to around 5% as a result.
A 78-card deck in the Tarot format can be used to play the game (such as a Tarot Nouveau). There are two approaches to this. Each includes nine tableau stacks that increase in size.
Klondike Nouveau Run: Play with five foundations with the Fool as the first card in the trumps foundation, or delete it before playing. Between the Jack and the Queen is the Knight or Cavalier (Chevalier).
Use six foundations, instead of the normal four, and use the red knights (cavaliers) as the royals for trumps 1–10, and the black knights as the royals for trumps 11–21 in the Klondike Tarot Evens.
Gambling Variants of Klondike
By playing with the rule of dealing cards one at a time and passing through the stock once, Klondike is made into a gambling game in some online casinos. A player might pay $50 to play, but the house might pay $5 for each card dealt to the foundations. Las Vegas Solitaire is another name for this variant of Klondike.
Joker Solitaire
Joli Quentin Kansil devised Joker Solitaire, a Klondike version with two jokers that act as restricted wild cards. Because players must make numerous calculated decisions, this adds to their skill level.
Double Solitaire
Under the name Double Solitaire, Klondike has been adapted into a two-player game. Players have their own packs and are not allowed to play to each other's tableaus, but they are allowed to share their foundations. Players take turns playing cards from their talons until they are unable to do so. The winner is the first player to play all 52 cards. Informally, "Double" Solitaire can be played with more than two players as a party game.
Klondike Card Game: Key Pointers!
Any participant in a Klondike game tries to build four foundation piles with a suit that goes from Ace to King in increasing order. From Ace to King, each of these foundations must follow card suit.
Each of the seven Tableau columns is numbered from 1 to 7 and begins with cards at the start of a new Klondike game. The first column has one card, the second column contains two cards, and so on until the seventh column contains seven cards.
In the Klondike game, a card is played by sliding it between the piles.
Klondike is a card game that involves little tactics or techniques, making it an excellent choice for children. Because it takes so little time and space, the Klondike game is the most popular solitaire game.
The difficulty of the Klondike game is influenced by whether you draw one or three cards when playing. A player can draw one card at a time for a more accessible version, or three cards at a time for a more hard game.
When a player forms all four foundations in increasing order in the same suit, they win the Klondike game. While not every game can be won, with the appropriate strategy and patience, you may win a large proportion of the time.
Playing Klondike online is as easy as its offline version. Still, picking the right and most trusted online gaming website holds the key. Being a player, you must always choose an online gaming website like OLE777 which is providing a safe and secured gaming platform to all of its users since past many years.

BMO Harris Bank | Sherman Park Branch
Community Gains Landmark Bank | Milwaukee, WI
The new BMO Harris Branch Office in the Sherman Park area of Milwaukee replaces the former branch which had been a fixture in the community for almost 90 years.
The exterior was designed to take advantage of its unique lot shape and street exposure.
To embrace the triangular condition at a major intersection, fulfill the need to make the building feel open and inviting to the community, and still maintain security, the design focused on a large canopy ending in a sharp point covering a large glass-filled entry. Coupling this approach with a clean, modern design formed a building that is both noticeable to vehicular traffic and approachable for pedestrians.
Site vehicle circulation was a challenge as there were minimal options to incorporate a required drive-thru and on-site parking. The design accomplished the required vehicle circulation while making pedestrians feel safe.

Microsoft Ignite 2017 Recap Part 1: New Product Releases
By Brent EarlsOctober 10, 2017Microsoft, Office 365, Skype for Business, SQL, System Administrator
The big push and talk at Ignite this year was all about Azure, Office 365, AI and the combination thereof. In fact, it was discussed so heavily that it can be easy to miss anything that isn't part of that ecosystem. However, there were several new product releases announced at Ignite this year.
Exchange 2019 is going to be coming out at the end of 2018. This will be (surprisingly) an on-premises release that you can install in your datacenter. Not much has been announced around any new features or other new capabilities. The reason this release is important, however, is that it means that Microsoft is committing to support on premises at least until 2029 (since you get five years of mainstream support and then five years of extended). It's doubtful there will be another on-premises Exchange offering after 2019. So if you haven't moved to Office 365 yet, there is plenty of time left to figure out if you should, or when you should.
Skype for Business 2019
Skype for Business 2019 is also going to be coming out at the end of 2018 as well. It has been stated officially that this will be the last on-premises release of Skype for Business, though, so don't hold your breath for new features. Everything is going to be moving into Office 365, notably through the merger of Skype for Business with Microsoft Teams, which was another big announcement made at Ignite. Again, Microsoft is committing to support your on-premises installation through at least 2029 due to the 10-year support cycle. That means there is plenty of time to wait for feature parity of Teams, as well as to plan your overall migration to the Teams infrastructure.
To go along with the above Office server applications, Office 2019 is going to launch at the end of 2018 as well. This will still be available as a perpetual license as opposed to a subscription. Not much has really been announced as to what this will include, but count on it all coming to the subscription version of Office long before this perpetual release. The key thing here is if your business isn't yet in the cloud, we're getting a commitment to at least a long migration period. Whether or not it makes sense to buy perpetual versus subscription involves some math and feature discussions that we can help with.
Another major product announcement was SQL Server 2017. This one caught a lot of us by surprise, because SQL just had a release last year (2016), so another so soon was unexpected. This isn't a minor release, either, getting the full feature parity between SQL on Windows and Linux. That's right, folks, now you can just pick your Windows or Linux distro and roll out SQL. Additionally, SQL 2017 supports "Adaptive Query Processing", "Graph data support", and most notably, the ability to run in containers. There will, of course, be some caveats around how exactly you run it in containers, but it's nice to see the innovation there from the beginning.
If you have any questions about upgrading to any of these new releases or want to start discussing your path to the cloud, send us an email or give us a call at 502-240-0404!
