Domestic abuse leave introduced in Northern Ireland
The Northern Ireland Assembly has passed legislation that will entitle victims of domestic abuse to 10 days' paid leave each leave year. The law was passed in the Assembly's final week of sitting before the forthcoming Assembly elections in May. The commencement date of the new right remains to be confirmed.
During the Assembly process for the Domestic Abuse (Safe Leave) Bill (the Bill), the Assembly heard that from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, the Police Service of Northern Ireland responded to 32,219 incidents of domestic abuse in Northern Ireland. This statistic represents a response approximately every 16 minutes and does not account for unreported incidents of abuse. In 2021 domestic abuse crimes in Northern Ireland increased by 9% to 20,827, the highest since records began in 2004. The Assembly also heard that during the period of Covid-19 'stay at home' orders, 17 people were killed by someone close to them.
Currently, employees affected by domestic violence have no alternative but to take sick leave, annual leave or unpaid leave when they need time away from work as a consequence of abuse. Disagreements can arise between employers and employees regarding the use of leave at short notice and the appropriate length of any leave taken. The Bill aims to address difficulties victims experience in the workplace by ensuring that they have a specific statutory right to leave from work. It also aims to protect them from any negative impact on their terms and conditions of employment as a result of taking leave in such circumstances.
In passing the Bill, Northern Ireland is the first jurisdiction within the United Kingdom and Ireland to provide a legal entitlement to paid leave for those affected by domestic violence.
Bill overview
Regulations relating to the Bill will be required to set out the details of the new right and when it is enforceable. However, the Bill provides that:
an employee or worker who is a victim of domestic abuse will be entitled to take at least 10 days' paid leave each leave year to deal with issues relating to domestic abuse (safe leave);
this will be a 'day one' right meaning that no minimum period of service for qualification is required;
safe leave is designed to be used by the employee or worker to deal with issues including:
obtaining legal advice and pursuing legal proceedings and remedies;
finding alternative accommodation;
taking advantage of healthcare (including mental health care);
obtaining welfare support; and
protecting family members
an employee will be entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment while on safe leave;
an employer will be able to establish reasonable conditions relating to the entitlement to safe leave, including what reasonable notice an employee is expected to give before taking such leave; and
employees who are prevented from taking safe leave or not paid during the leave will be able to present a complaint to an Industrial Tribunal.
What should employers do now?
Although we do not have a definitive date as to when this right will come into force, employers can take steps within their businesses to prepare for it by creating an environment where employees feel they can disclose that they are experiencing domestic violence.
In 2018, the Department for Health and the Department for Justice published guidance for employers to develop awareness of and to manage domestic abuse in the workplace. In 2020, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development published guidance on managing and supporting employees experiencing domestic abuse and in 2021, ACAS (in Great Britain) updated its guidance on working from home to include a section on domestic violence and abuse. This guidance includes information on developing a workplace policy on domestic abuse as well as highlighting support and safety measures which an employer can introduce. Useful recommendations include:
introducing a written domestic abuse policy, with clear reporting procedures, details for relevant points of contact and support services;
training line managers to allow them to identify the signs of domestic abuse and to respond sensitively and appropriately;
appointing a trained support officer or domestic and sexual violence champion in the workplace;
while we await further regulations, allowing flexible working and special leave to facilitate employees in making practical arrangements arising from domestic abuse;
taking steps to ensure than an alleged abuser does not attend or contact your staff member at the workplace;
ensuring affected staff do not work alone or in an isolated area where possible;
putting in place effective lines of communication with affected staff to ensure line managers can engage with them to check that they are safe both inside and outside of work; and
encouraging affected staff to engage with specialist support agencies and involve professional services where appropriate.

A credit card can get you out of any number of financial predicaments. Do you need to pay for something, but have no cash on you? That is not a problem. If you pay with a credit card, you will be able to pay over time. Do you need to improve your credit score? A card makes it easy. Read this article for more credit card tips.
It is very easy to mishandle credit card usage. While everyone gets into debt at times, some people use the credit that they have access to in an irresponsible manner and end up in huge amounts of debt with too-high payment obligations they cannot meet. The best strategy is to pay off your entire balance each month. By doing this, you will have a low balance and help your credit score.
Always pay off your entire credit card balance each month if possible. Ideally, credit cards should only be used as a convenience and paid in full before the new billing cycle begins. The credit usage builds a good history and by not carrying a balance, you will not pay finance fees.
As seen, credit cards have a lot of different uses and opportunities. From things like boosting a credit card score, to buying things at a store, you can use a card for a number of different things. Use what you've learned here, and use your card properly.
Since credit cards burst onto the scene, people have been going broke trying to keep up with the payments. You must carefully read the fine print to make sure you are aware of all the costs that come along with making purchases on your credit card. Increase your knowledge about credit cards to stay in control of your finances.
Only open a credit card at a retail store if you shop there often. When a retail store inquires about your credit prior to opening an account, that inquiry is recorded on your report whether you go through with opening a card or not. An excessive amount of inquiries from retail stores on your credit report can actually lower your credit score.
Always pay your bills well before the due date, as this is a big part of maintaining your high credit score. Making your payments late will negatively affect your score and cost you additional fees. One of the best ways to save you both time and money is to set up automatic payments.
Minimum payments are designed to maximize the credit card company's profit off of your debt in the long run. This naturally means that you should pay more than simply the least allowable amount. Avoid paying interest fees for long periods of time.
In conclusion, it can be frustrating and confusing to deal with credit cards. But, armed with the right understanding, it can actually be quite simple to manage credit cards. Use the information you learned here to help you make better credit card decisions.
Try finding a credit card that lets you earn points towards products, services and vacations. Other people who do not utilize the advantages of credit cards may charge their vacation expenses and be faced will a stressful bill later. If you prefer the perks involved with wise credit card use, keep reading for some great tips on getting the most out of your credit cards.
Avoid using credit cards to buy something that is more than you would ever dream of affording with cash. While it is fine to use them for items you may afford later, you should avoid using credit to purchase big ticket items that you are going to run into problems paying for.
A co-signer may be an option to consider if you have no established credit. A co-signer could be a trusted friend, sibling or parent and anyone that already has established credit. They must be willing to sign stating they will pay the balance due on the card if you do not pay it. This is a great way to get your first credit card and begin to build your credit.
Paying the credit card account by its due date is very important. All credit balances have a specific due date; if you don't pay attention to it, you will likely be charged high fees. You will also be taking the chance that your creditors will raise your rate of interest, which will cost more later.
Credit cards can be used responsibly to enrich your financial life regardless of any perks, rewards or points they may offer. Those who do not mindfully use their cards wisely with some of the sound strategies presented here might have momentary gratification, but also long term stress from bills. Use what you've learned in this article to use your credit wisely.

I cannot stress enough the importance of having a different password for each of your internet accounts especially for your Paylpal, banking and any accounts where your credit cards are stored.
However, I appreciate that the average person is unable to store 100's of different passwords in their head and we all know that writing them down in a notebook kept in a desk draw beside the computer isn't a very secure method, so what is the answer?
This method works for me so please give it a go and improve your internet security.
Decide on a memorable phrase with letters and numbers – one that you will never forget so you won't have to write it down.
Add a capital letter and a punctuation mark – at the beginning and end is the easiest to remember but if you want to be super secure put it in the middle somewhere.
Now insert the first 3 (or 4) letters of the website address viewable in the address bar located at the top of your web browser page, for which you are creating the website after the first 3 (or 4) digits of your memorable phrase. E.g. Ebay password would be Rouebate66?, Amazon password Rouamate66?
And voilà! You have a different password for each of your websites for which you don't have to remember in your head or write down. You only have to remember your phrase – know that you added a capital letter and punctuation mark and that your method is to insert the first 3 letters of the website address after the first 3 letters of your memorable phrase. After a few times it will become second nature.
Occasionally, you may have to reset a password – I then move the capital letter to the second digit etc.

Jacobs vs. Arias: Matchroom Boxing Makes US Debut
Matchroom Boxing Makes U.S. Debut!
Daniel 'Miracle Man' Jacobs takes on undefeated Luis Arias and
Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller faces Mariusz Wach in Heavyweight Tilt
Saturday, November 11 at NYCB LIVE, home of
the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Televised Live on HBO World Championship Boxing®
Daniel Jacobs will face Luis Arias on his Matchroom Boxing debut at NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Saturday, November 11. The middleweight clash will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Former WBA Middleweight king Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs), is back in action following his brilliant performance in New York against Gennady Golovkin last March. The Brooklyn born 'Miracle Man' is targeting world title action in 2018 and will be looking for an explosive performance against the unbeaten American Arias to signal his intent to be recognized as the man in the deeply talented 160 pound division.
"I'm excited to debut at the Coliseum on November 11 live and exclusive on HBO," said Jacobs. "We wanted a real fight for the fans and have picked a young hungry lion in Luis Arias. I'm looking to make a real statement on Nov 11 and prove I am number one in this division. Don't miss it!"
Wisconsin-based Arias (18-0, 9 KOs), will look to spoil Jacobs' plans at the first hurdle. The 27 year old decorated amateur and USBA champion is thrilled to have landed the huge fight he's been craving and to announce himself on the world scene.
"I want to thank Roc Nation Sports, Matchroom Boxing and HBO for making this fight happen," Arias said. "I've been hungry for a fight of this magnitude and I'm going to shock the world. Danny is a talented fighter, but I thrive in the limelight and look forward to showing the boxing world that I'm a force to be reckoned with on Nov. 11. Confidence has always been the key to my success and I know this fight will take my career to the next level."
"Roc Nation Sports prides itself for creating fights with the potential to transform the boxing landscape – this fight between Luis Arias and Danny Jacobs is no different," said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. "Time after time, Luis has shined under the bright lights and he deserves this opportunity to establish his dominance against a competitor of Danny's caliber. We're thrilled to work with Matchroom Boxing and HBO to make a memorable fight that pits two of the best Middleweight fighters in the world together."
Also part of the HBO telecast serving as the chief-support on the first Matchroom Boxing USA fight night card sees exciting heavyweight Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller taking on Mariusz Wach. Miller looks to stake his claim for a world title shot in 2018 with an impressive performance while Wach looks to spoil his plans.
Unbeaten Miller (19-0, 17 KOs), recorded his 17th win inside the distance this past July when he forced the retirement of Gerald Washington at Barclays Center. The Brooklyn native will look to lay down a marker as he meets Poland's former world title challenger Wach (33-2, 17 KOs), who has his mind set on upsetting Miller's game plan.
"I'm delighted to announce the return of the 'Miracle Man' Daniel Jacobs on November 11 at the Coliseum against the dangerous and unbeaten Luis Arias," said promoter Eddie Hearn. "We believe that Danny is the number one Middleweight in the world and the aim is to collect every belt in the division.
"Also on the card is one of the brightest and loudest Heavyweight stars as Brooklyn's Jarrell Miller in the fight of his career so far against the highly ranked Mariusz Wach. Fans can expect an electric night of boxing with a deep card featuring some of the biggest talents from both sides of the Atlantic."
"Inspiring and electric in the ring, Daniel Jacobs is a true ambassador for boxing," says Peter Nelson, executive vice president, HBO Sports. "Daniel is a force to be reckoned with in the stacked middleweight division. We look forward to watching his exceptionally bright future unfold as part of the HBO family."
"Danny has been part of our family in Brooklyn since our doors opened at Barclays Center five years ago," said Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, which also manages and operates the Coliseum. "I am thrilled to extend our relationship to Danny's second home on Long Island, where boxing fans at the Coliseum can see firsthand what makes him a force to be reckoned with in the ring. I would like to thank Eddie Hearn, Matchroom Boxing, HBO, and Roc Nation Sports for their support in bringing this world-class boxing event to Long Island."
Tickets for the live event will go on sale on Thursday, October 5 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, NYCBLIVE.com or by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the Ticketmaster Box Office at the Coliseum, starting Friday, October 6 at noon.

Q: How to handle Promise.all properly: Getting undefined I'm trying to get an array filled with the info back from some requests made to different REST APIs.
I thought about using Promise.all to do that but for some reason, it yields an Array with a bunch of undefined inside.

[ undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined ]

Here's my code:
var _ = require("lodash");//Used exclusively to check if the result from the request is an object
var ccxt = require("ccxt");//External library used to make the requests

let pairs = ["ETH/EUR", "BTC/EUR", "LTC/EUR", "BCH/EUR"]; //Array on which the Promise.all is based

function test(p) {
  for (var i = 0; i < ccxt.exchanges.length; i++) { //Looping through all the rest APIs
    let exchange = new ccxt[ccxt.exchanges[i]](); //Defining each API to make the requests
    if (exchange.hasFetchOrderBook) {
      exchange //Beginning of the request
        .fetchOrderBook(p)
        .then(order => {
          if (_.isObject(order) && order.bids[0][1]) {
            let now = Math.floor(new Date());
            order.mkt = exchange.name;
            order.pair = p;
            order.ping = now - order.timestamp;
            return order; //Return the result of the request
          }
        })
        .catch(e => {});
    }
  }
}

Promise.all(pairs.map(test)) //Making the requests based on the Pairs Array
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res); //Logging the results ==> [undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined] for some reason...
  })
  .catch(e => {
    console.log(e);
  });

I know that the requests are correctly being made since if I console.log the order within the loop, I get the correct results -- Example of the result when logging:

So I guess that the problems I'm dealing with has to do with the asynchronous character of the function... but I'm not sure how I can make it synchronous.
Again, just to try to clarify my question: The objective is to get an array with 4 different types of object (one per pair --> array) so that I can operate on each.
Just to make it clearer, here's an illustration of what I'm trying to achieve:
[
  [
    Object1,
    Object2,
    Object3,
    etc...
  ],
  [
    Object1,
    Object2,
    Object3,
    etc...
  ],
  [
    Object1,
    Object2,
    Object3,
    etc...
  ],
  [
    Object1,
    Object2,
    Object3,
    etc...
  ]
]

Why is Promise.all returning the array without waiting on the requests'results?
I hope that was clear enough! If not let mw know! :P
Thanks in advance for your help!

A: Your test function does return a undefined. You need to return a promise for the result:
function test(p) {
  return Promise.all(ccxt.exchanges.map(api => { //Looping through all the rest APIs
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    let exchange = new ccxt[api](); //Defining each API to make the requests
    if (exchange.hasFetchOrderBook) {
      return exchange //Beginning of the request
        .fetchOrderBook(p)
        .then(order => {
          if (_.isObject(order) && order.bids[0][1]) {
            let now = Math.floor(new Date());
            order.mkt = exchange.name;
            order.pair = p;
            order.ping = now - order.timestamp;
            return order; //Return the result of the request
          }
          // else undefined
        })
        .catch(e => {}); // undefined
    }
    // else undefined
  }));
}

Of course your promises still fulfill with undefined when the if conditions do not apply or an error happens.

Even a great artist like David Simpich, who has mastered amazing realism in puppetry, still relies on some elements of fantasy for his true-to-life performances. Think about it: the audiences must suspend disbelief to enter the time and place of the story, to imagine the puppet characters as real, and to look past the strings or control rods that dictate the puppets' movements. And as for those movements themselves, there still is an aspect of exaggeration even when performing lifelike, realistic movement.
Appropriate exaggeration in puppet movement exists somewhere between real life and cartoons. OK, I know. That's a pretty long continuum. The level of exaggeration will depend on the character and situation. Most of the Simpich marionettes use more subtle gestures and actions than an enthusiastic young monster like Elmo.
Think about your character. Think about who he is, what he's doing, what he's feeling, where he is and where he is going. All these elements will blend together to help you determine the most appropriate level of exaggeration for that character in that instance. Then get some feedback on your performance from people that are not going to just give you the smile-and-nod "that was great…" answer. Really look for somebody who's not afraid to tell you that your puppet looked like a spaz.
Oh yeah, and have fun.
Haha, yeah, I agree. Exaggerations are awesome. And I love to make puppets do certain things that doesn't happen in real life, just because I can. I like to make puppets interact with things that's part of the screen especially, like the camera frame, captions, etc. Sometimes I feel like I'm a kid playing pretend… my game, my world, my rules (that might defy physics every now and then).
Actually, even in (human) acting there are different degrees of exaggerations too. Stage performers, for example, are more exaggerated with their body movements while film actors focus on facial expressions more.

It looks like gamers are getting their start pretty young, as a recent report indicates that half of all kids under the age of eight have played video games on consoles.
The study was conducted by Common Sense Media, and claims that a total of 51 percent of American children eight or younger have played a console game at least once over the course of their short existence.
If you break up the numbers even further, the study shows that 44% of kids between two to four years of age have played a console game, while a whopping 81% of kids between five and eight fit into the same group.
If anything, this is a clear indication of the prominent role that digital entertainment has been taking in the lives of youngsters. As technology continues to grow and expand, the more and more popular entertainment in this medium will be with our youth.
How old were you when you started gaming? Let us know in the comments below.

What's a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy?
A Medigap policy is private health insurance that helps supplement Original Medicare. This means it helps pay some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover (like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles). These are "gaps" in Medicare coverage.
If you have Original Medicare and a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare‐approved amounts for covered health care costs. Then your Medigap policy pays its share. A Medigap policy is different from a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) because those plans are ways to get Medicare benefits, while a Medigap policy only supplements the costs of your Original Medicare benefits.
Note: Medicare doesn't pay any of your costs for a Medigap policy.
All Medigap policies must follow federal and state laws designed to protect you, and policies must be clearly identified as "Medicare Supplement Insurance." Medigap insurance companies in most states can only sell you a "standardized" Medigap policy identified by letters A through N. Each standardized Medigap policy must offer the same basic benefits, no matter which insurance company sells it. Cost is usually the only difference between Medigap policies with the same letter sold by different insurance companies.

Chinese cyberespionage costs U.S. companies an estimated $300 billion annually and comprises the "single greatest threat to U.S. technology," according to a new report by the Washington, D.C-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
China is using its vast cyberespionage capabilities to steal intellectual property from U.S. businesses, gain the upper hand in economic negotiations, and put pressure on foreign governments, according to the report. These activities have allowed China to advance rapidly, overtake the U.S. in certain key industries and even gain some military advantages.
"For years, the Chinese government has engaged in cyber-enabled economic espionage and other covert and clandestine activities to strengthen China's economic competitiveness and strategic position. China is estimated to be responsible for 50 to 80 percent of cross-border intellectual property theft worldwide, and over 90 percent of cyber-enabled economic espionage in the United States," the report noted.
China employs around 30,000 military cyber spies and around 150,000 private sector cyber experts who aim to steal U.S. military and technological secrets, according to FBI estimates. In June, for example, it was revealed that Chinese hackers had successfully breached a private military contractor and stole large quantities of data that revealed details of U.S. plans for underwater warfare.
Another recent example was the case of Chinese hackers based in China's Tsinghua University who probed U.S companies and the Alaskan state government for vulnerabilities in the wake of a visit to China by a U.S. trade delegation. Researchers claimed the hackers were looking for ways to gain inside information that would give China an advantage in trade negotiations.
The report began by noting that the U.S. and China are currently locked in intense political, economic and military competition, and that Beijing's cyber capabilities are helping the country gain a strategic advantage. China is rapidly developing technologies that can be used for both commercial and military purposes, like artificial intelligence, facial recognition software, robotics and virtual reality. In August, China also conducted its first successful test of a hypersonic aircraft, which U.S. military experts warn could be used to penetrate U.S. missile defense systems.
Despite all that, economist and Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs argued that the U.S. foreign policy establishment is too preoccupied with competition and is missing important opportunities for cooperation.

În mitologie, aerul este un element primordial al vieții, din care este constituită lumea, alături de foc, apă și pământ. El este un element de o complexitate deosebită, ocupând în natură, diferite înfățișări. Este complementar pământului, opusul acestuia. Dacă pământul este al omului, bine cunoscut și controlat de acesta, aerul este al divinității, la fel ca cerul. Aerul este pentru vechii antici un element abstract, indefinit, dar care se materializează sub mai multe forme:
1. Vântul; Vântul este o materializare a forței elementului aer. Este un element ce poate reda în același timp zbuciumul naturii, furia divină, forța destructivă sau opusul acetor stări, armonie, calm, ideea de zbor. Zeii vântului erau foarte importanți pentru călătorii pe mare, care le închinau ofrande. Fiind un element schimbător, vântul a fost împărțit în diferite categorii, după rolul și direcția baterii sale. Acest lucru s-a întâmplat în mitologia greacă, unde zeița Eos, zeița zorilor a avut cu Atreu patru fii, personificări ale celor patru vânturi: Boreu (vântul de nord), Zefir (vântul de vest), Euro (vântul de est) și Noto (vântul de sud). De asemeni, ea a mai avut cu Eol, un fiu, pe Austru.
Zeii vântului erau înfățișați deseori înaripați.
Austru - mitologie greacă
Boreu - mitologie greacă

The musician, songwriter, illustrator, surrealist painter, and former Guided By Voices member was incredibly generous with his time and was willing to field my questions on his upcoming music and art projects. He shared some thoughts on the now 25 year old Bee Thousand, his former bands 1994 masterpiece and we even chatted a bit about his short lived but superb band, Eyesinweasel.
The Ash Gray Proclamation: Last summer marked the 25th Anniversary of the release of Bee Thousand. How do you feel that the album stands up after all these years?
Tobin Sprout: I think it's as strong as ever. B-1000 could come out today and sound just as relevant as it was in the 90's. Time makes the masterpiece. I think a lot of the music today draws from this album.
The Ash Gray Proclamation: When is the last time you listened to it?
Tobin Sprout: It's been awhile. I will have to sit down and listen to it.
The Ash Gray Proclamation: What was the one song on the album that you enjoyed playing Live the most?
Tobin Sprout: I think we played everything on the album at one time or another. Queen of Cans and Jars, love the riff. Tractor Rape Chain has that chord slide that's hypnotizing. Smothered In Hugs just pounds power chords, its getting louder. I still play Awful Bliss into Mincer Ray in my sets, love playing those too. Mincer Ray I just play a D most of the time, the bass carries the rest. Echos Myron was always a great one to play live. On a lot of the album I used a guitar to play bass, and EQ the 4-track to give it more bottom. That's how I recorded the end of Echos, it was easier to hit those notes on guitar than a bass. I think we just didn't have a bass available at the time. I guess the one I liked playing most was I Am A Scientist, I think it was the hit and the one that really got the crowds up, loved the video too.
The Ash Gray Proclamation: Over the last year I've seen that you've been recording new material. What can you tell me about those tracks and plans to release your next album?
Tobin Sprout: I have an EP and an album pretty much finished. Working on getting a label right now. The EP will come out first, it has a remixed version of Supersonic Chairman and 3 other songs. It's more guitar driven than the LP. The LP will be called Empty Horses or The Return. Its very piano driven, and a bit darker than the EP. It was recorded mostly with my Band at Tommy Schichtel's Studio Goon Lagoon in Grand Rapid. Tommy on lead guitar, Gary Vermillion on Drums, and Steve Vermillion on bass. Also did some of the recording at my studio in Leland Mi. A song called Every Sweet Soul was recorded by Ferris Henning. Ferris also did a video for the song. Hope to get the EP out before the end of the year. The Album will come out next year. Then hope to tour it.
The Ash Gray Proclamation: Can you tell me a little bit about your current art related projects and/or a follow up to your children books, Tinky Put His Little Moon To Bed and Elliott?
Tobin Sprout: My Wife Laura is also an artist, she does 2D and 3D mixed medium. Uses old magazines and found objects. She calls it Life In A Box. She just had her 4th show at the Old Art Building here in Leland. We also do collaborations, where she gives me a box and some found pieces and I Paint something on the box and give it back to her to add something. It's interesting to see how the original Idea changes into something different.She also has written a follow up to Tinky that I am going to illustrate. Elliott is out of print, but I plan to re edit it and make it available on Kindle, along with another book I wrote before Elliott called April and Elliott. Still painting and might release a booklet with the EP of my paintings.
The AGP: What was the creative process like behind the new releases?
Tobin: I worked with the band as much as possible. Mostly at Tommy's studio in Grand Rapids. I would send demos to Gary and Steve so when we meet at Tommy's they would have ideas and had worked out the structures. Tommy would be placing mics and running the tape machine so would add his parts later. It also gave him time to think about his guitar parts. Once we have the basic tracks, I would add vocals and overdubs. By the next session Tommy would have his parts recorded, so we would spend time adding whatever we felt was needed then mix. At one point we also brought in Drew Howard to play pedal Steel on Breaking Down and All In My Sleep.
The AGP: As you mentioned the album is more piano driven than the EP, so I'm wondering if you had a vision going into the studio and how does the recording match up with that?
Tobin: I don't think I had a vision but the album just grew into two different albums. About two thirds of the album worked really well together which stayed on the final album. And the others were put on the EP. Not that one was better than the other. The album is more darker piano along with a few simple acoustic pieces. Where the EP is straight up two guitars, bass and drums.
The AGP: I was in attendance for The Cambridge, MA Eyesinwesel show that ended up being captured and released as Live In The Middle East on that tour and to me there was something very special about that line up that night performance. What comes to mind when you look back at that creative period, those two releases, and the subsequent tour?
Tobin: Gary and Steve (Vermillion) were in the band then, might have been the first tour with them. Don't remember it being one of our better shows but it seems to be a favorite of a lot of people. It was recorded by the CBC from a mobile recording studio. It was recorded digitally to tape.

Russia's Rostec Showcases Latest Armored Vehicles For Special Forces; Launches Global Promo
Nitin J Ticku
Russia's Rostec State Corporation has launched the global promotion of the latest the BMD-4M airborne infantry fighting vehicle and the BTR-MDM armored vehicle for special forces.
This was announced by the NPO High-Precision Weapons Holding Company, part of the state-owned Rostec, in a press statement on April 15.
"Kurganmashzavod (part of NPO High-Precision Weapons) has already created all technical documents for marketing both BMD-4M and BTR-MDM. We are already engaged in the promotion of both models together with Rosoboronexport," the statement read.

The holding company also pointed out that the market for airborne armor is specific due to the required characteristics of this vehicle class. "These vehicles are of great interest to countries that have airborne troops in their armed forces. BMD-4M and BTR-MDM will be used by special forces and police units in various regions of the world", the company said.

The tracked BMD-4M is an updated version of the BMD-4 with a new hull, engine, chassis and other systems. It is equipped with the "Bakhcha-U" turret module armed with 100 mm and 30 mm cannons, and a machine gun.
BTR-MDM "Rakushka" airborne transport vehicle is based on BMD-4M and was created to replace BTR-D APCs introduced into service in the 1970s.

As shipowners presume increase in prices of low-sulphur fuel towards the end of 2019 in preparation for the deadline set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for sulphur cuts by January 1, 2020, negotiations for supplies have been sealed in good deals.
One of such ship -owning companies operating in Nigeria, Sea Transport, has concluded discussions with a refinery to ensure they do not get caught in the web of likely scarcity in the early periods of the low-sulphur enforcement.
"Talking of the sulphur content of marine fuel, we have discussed with some bunker suppliers, who supply our bunkers.
"We understand most of the refineries that are producing those high-sulphur fuel will stop it before the 2020, and that there would not be high-sulphur fuel in the market by the end of 2019," Aminu Umar, the MD/CEO of Sea Transport, said in an interview in Lagos.
Umar said there was nothing to worry about as the change in marine fuel type would not not affect the shipping asset as ship, but for likely bunker price increase because of the call for the low-sulphur fuel.
His words: "Internationally, we look forward to seeing increase in bunker price because when the refineries are going to change there may be some scarcity of low-sulphur fuel in the market, and there is likelihood that the few refineries producing it would increase their price. But we believe it will thereafter stabilise.
He noted that enforcement had already started in some parts of the world, and ships comply.

Q: NSScrollView and copiesOnScroll behavior I am trying to understand the behavior of copiesOnScroll in a typical NSScrollView/NSClipView/NSView setup.  I'll refer to the NSView or documentView as MyCustomView throughout, and just note that this is a large view that can take substantial time to draw (I am actually doing this in a sample app to better understand all the various issues at play here).  Note also that I am currently working on the "non-layer backed case" and not opting in to responsive scrolling.  Let's say the view is 10,000 x 800 units.  Assume also that this scroll view takes up the entire window, and we are simply viewing the beginning portion of MyCustomView in a window that is 1,500 x 800 (so we are viewing the rect (l: 0, t:0, r:1500, b:800)).  Now let's scroll everything to the left by 500 so that we are now viewing (l:500, t:0, r:2000, b:800).  During such a scroll, I would expect, with copiesOnScroll set to YES, that the dirty rect we get in MyCustomView's drawRect method would be (l: 1500, t:0, r:2000, b:800) but instead we get the entire visible area: (l:500: t:0, r:2000, b:800).
According to Apple docu on copiesOnScroll:
When the value of this property is YES, the clip view copies its existing rendered image while scrolling (only drawing exposed portions of its document view); when it is NO, the view forces its contents to be redrawn each time.
For what it's worth, this was the behavior we saw with scrolling when our app (the real app, not this sample one) used to be a Carbon based app, the update region would only consist of the newly exposed parts of the visible region.
In order to understand this behavior a little more, I substituted MyScrollView/MyClipView subclasses for the NSScrollView/NSClipView part of the setup.  Overriding a few routines and just calling super to get a feel for whose was calling various update routines (like setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsDisplayInRect:) I found the following:
When clicking in the scroll bar to start scrolling to the right, I get the following calls to MyClipView::setNeedsDisplayInRect:(NSRect)invalidRect:
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 0, y = 0), size = (width = 0, height = 0))
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 0, y = 0), size = (width = 0, height = 0))
And then:
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 180.5, y = 0), size = (width = 460, height = 363))
This is the entire visibleRect being invalidated as a result of the translateOriginToPoint call apparently.  And here is the stack:
0   0x0000000100001008 in -[MyClipView setNeedsDisplayInRect:] MyClipView.m:31

27  0x0000000100003a42 in main main.m:12
28  0x00007fff7e1a9015 in start ()

And then:
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 460, y = 0), size = (width = 180.5, height = 363))
This looks like the correct newly "revealed" section to draw.  And here is the stack:
0   0x0000000100001008 in -[MyClipView setNeedsDisplayInRect:] at MyClipView.m:31
1   0x00007fff538cdf90 in -[NSClipView _nonLayerBackedImmediateScrollToPoint:] ()

7   0x00007fff55e8ecd7 in __CFRunLoopDoTimer ()
8   0x00007fff55e8e7da in __CFRunLoopDoTimers ()
9   0x00007fff55e85dab in __CFRunLoopRun ()
10  0x00007fff55e851a3 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific ()
11  0x00007fff5516dd96 in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode ()
12  0x00007fff5516da0f in ReceiveNextEventCommon ()
13  0x00007fff5516d884 in _BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInModeWithFilter ()
14  0x00007fff53420a73 in _DPSNextEvent ()
15  0x00007fff53bb6e34 in -[NSApplication(NSEvent) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] ()
16  0x00007fff53415885 in -[NSApplication run] ()
17  0x00007fff533e4a72 in NSApplicationMain ()
18  0x0000000100003a42 in main at main.m:12
19  0x00007fff7e1a9015 in start ()

And then 3 more of these:
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 0, y = 0), size = (width = 0, height = 0))
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 0, y = 0), size = (width = 0, height = 0))
invalidRect NSRect  (origin = (x = 0, y = 0), size = (width = 0, height = 0))
And eventually the MyCustomView drawRect is called with the dirtyRect:
dirtyRect   NSRect  (origin = (x = 180.5, y = 0), size = (width = 460, height = 363))
instead of the desired:
dirtyRect   NSRect  (origin = (x = 460, y = 0), size = (width = 180.5, height = 363))
So any idea why copiesOnScroll doesn't send an appropriately smaller dirtyRect (or a list of smaller rects via getRectsBeingDrawn)?  This extra drawing is causing significant performance issues in the real app.


Both groups had assembled Wednesday morning to mark a critical hearing in a Texas-led challenge to the Affordable Care Act, a sweeping lawsuit that aims to do what dozens of Congressional attempts could not: entirely repeal perhaps the greatest legislative success of former President Barack Obama. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, leading a coalition of 20 states, sued in February to end the law, arguing that after Congress gutted one of its key provisions, the entire statute must fall. California, leading a counter-coalition of 16 states and Washington D.C., arguesthat the entire law remains constitutional and should remain in place.
The protesters in the park Wednesday — including one dressed as the Grim Reaper, with an "I am the GOP health care plan" sign around his neck — seemed to line up with California. Leading their charge was Justin Nelson, the Democrat challenging Paxton in the November election, who has said he would withdraw from the "misguided" lawsuit on his first day in office. According to the liberal-leaning Center for Public Policy Priorities, 20 million low- and middle-income people would lose coverage if Texas' lawsuit succeeds.
Texas has sued over Obamacare before, and just last month the state won a small victory — also in O'Connor's court — over a fee associated with the law, sending some $300 million back into state coffers. But this sweeping lawsuit would go much further; it aims to entirely undo the landmark work of legislation. And this time, Texas has several major advantages, most notably the apparent support of the Department of Justice, which in June said it would not defend major provisions of the law, including its protections for individuals with pre-existing health conditions ranging from asthma to cancer.
Paxton, who did not attend the hearing in person, said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that O'Connor should both block the law and strike it down entirely.


Know what else is cool... something else... that will be shown soon enough.
That game was frustrating. And awesome.
I need one of these. I'm pretty sure the 1 there should say (9/9)^9 and the glare makes it hard to tell, because that'd mean every entry has three 9s in it.
That is the best analog clock.
No they don't. They just have to make the next one black.
I think it's a normative creation thing, until we can start seeing IR colors, I don't think there's going to be anything more than primary colors.
Clocks are good for one thing and one thing alone.
God forbid they used, you know, colors there. I mean, WOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SOMEONE COPYRIGHTED THE COLOR GREEN.
Black would be freaking awesum, you know it k//.
Well, the next one will be a dark themed IIDX, so there's definitely potential, but even if it is black, there are only so many colors you can choose from without making it ugly.
Huh? Tang? isn't tang like, bright orange and stuff?
Yes. It also is a POSITIVE ORANGE.

<!-- This is the configuration file for the resource manager in Hadoop. -->
<!-- You can configure various scheduling parameters related to queues. -->
<!-- The properties for a queue follow a naming convention,such as, -->
<!-- mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.<queue-name>.property-name. -->

<configuration>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.maximum-system-jobs</name>
    <value>3000</value>
    <description>Maximum number of jobs in the system which can be initialized,
     concurrently, by the CapacityScheduler.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.capacity</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description>Percentage of the number of slots in the cluster that are
      to be available for jobs in this queue.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.maximum-capacity</name>
    <value>-1</value>
    <description>
	maximum-capacity defines a limit beyond which a queue cannot use the capacity of the cluster.
	This provides a means to limit how much excess capacity a queue can use. By default, there is no limit.
	The maximum-capacity of a queue can only be greater than or equal to its minimum capacity.
        Default value of -1 implies a queue can use complete capacity of the cluster.

        This property could be to curtail certain jobs which are long running in nature from occupying more than a
        certain percentage of the cluster, which in the absence of pre-emption, could lead to capacity guarantees of
        other queues being affected.

        One important thing to note is that maximum-capacity is a percentage , so based on the cluster's capacity
        the max capacity would change. So if large no of nodes or racks get added to the cluster , max Capacity in
        absolute terms would increase accordingly.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.supports-priority</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>If true, priorities of jobs will be taken into
      account in scheduling decisions.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.minimum-user-limit-percent</name>
    <value>100</value>
    <description> Each queue enforces a limit on the percentage of resources
    allocated to a user at any given time, if there is competition for them.
    This user limit can vary between a minimum and maximum value. The former
    depends on the number of users who have submitted jobs, and the latter is
    set to this property value. For example, suppose the value of this
    property is 25. If two users have submitted jobs to a queue, no single
    user can use more than 50% of the queue resources. If a third user submits
    a job, no single user can use more than 33% of the queue resources. With 4
    or more users, no user can use more than 25% of the queue's resources. A
    value of 100 implies no user limits are imposed.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>mapred.capacity-scheduler.queue.default.user-limit-factor</name>
    <value>1</value>
    <description>The multiple of the queue capacity which can be configured to
    allow a single user to acquire more slots.
    </description>

Katy Perry's Hair: Why So Blue?
Perry's hair colorist weighs in on the pop star's ever-changing locks.
Over the weekend, Katy Perry debuted another shade of blue hair in Las Vegas. The newer, bluer hair was more turquoise than the look she had sported weeks before on the set of an Adidas commercial.
Katy is constantly changing her hair color from black to blond to pink, and seemingly every shade in between. These days, however, it seems she's settled on blue. So, when MTV News spoke to her longtime hair colorist, Rita Hazan, she gave us the low-down on why Ms. Perry is feeling so blue these days.
"Of course, being Katy, she is a lot more edgy and she's cooler and she likes to take a lot of risks. And I love that she's like, 'I'm feeling a little blue, let's go blue' — not in her energy, just in her hair color," Hazan explained to MTV News about the pop star's current hair-color choice. "I felt like it's the perfect color for her because her eyes are blue and she has the perfect skin tone to be a really vibrant, really cool, intense blue."
When Hazan first heard about Perry's decision to deepen her locks to blue, she wanted her to be a "cobalt blue, muted cobalt blue; it's really cool. It took me three days to come up with this color. I'm so obsessed with it. It's like the wallpaper for my iPhone."
Since then, the color has lightened up a bit, but regardless of the shade, the hair still has everyone buzzing. "I was shocked by all the crazy reactions that people had to the blue 'cause I thought going from black to pink would have been the major reaction people would have," she said. "But I kind of like that people are loving the blue 'cause I'm obsessed with blue. So any shade of blue, I'm loving. I know it's not natural, but it sort of works in a natural way."
Of course, her hair color might have something to do with her recent split from Russell Brand. Kimberley Pierce, a colorist at Ion Studio in New York City, explained that she's seen many a newly single chick come in and change up their mood with some new hair color.
"They'll come in for a consult and say, 'My boyfriend and I just broke up and I want brown hair' and they're a blonde," she said, adding that she usually has some advice for those rash decisions. "The best thing we can do for them is tell them to try a wig on first."
Whatever Katy's reason for the shocking, eye-catching color change, Pierce added that it really works for her.
"I kind of like that she got away from the pink because I feel like we've seen that so much. With the blue, it's more vibrant and definitely she's on her own with it," she said. "She's kind of all the way in with the blue. She's kind of this candy-coated sort of person. So I guess blue would be the natural transition, or purple. It's nice to see her experiment with different things."

Los Angeles police said they received a call shortly after midnight from Lohan's assistant reporting that the actress's vehicle was involved in an accident outside a Hollywood night club, according to CBS. The photographer claims he was hit in the wrist when Lohan's car sped away. "I'm going to sue them, but I don't care about the money," he said I want to press charges so badly -- she's going to jail."

The 23-year-old actress was not driving the car, according to video posted on TMZ. Officials said they did not consider the case a hit-and-run, and could not confirm who was injured in the accident. Police did stress that early reports that the driver is a person of interest in a criminal assault with a deadly weapon investigation are "not correct."
