Gettysburg College: Three .400 hitters in baseball
Tom Sixeas
For The Evening Sun
In his 30th season at the helm of the Gettysburg College baseball team, John Campo has the team sitting at 14-8 just past the midway point of the season. The team dropped two of three this week, beating Juniata on Thursday, 12-4, after losing to Susquehanna (3-1) and Stevenson (12-4) on the previous two days.
The offense is being led by Logan Snead (.434), Chuck Probst (.419) and Will Anderson (.400). On the mound, Rich Power is 4-1 with a 1.39 ERA, while Eric Brown is posting a 2.39 ERA with a 3-2 record
The squad has four games this upcoming week. The Bullets host Franklin & Marshall at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday before playing the Diplomats at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Clipper Magazine Stadium. They wrap up the week by hosting a doubleheader against Swarthmore at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Bullets are 14-4 at the exact midway point of their campaign after splitting a doubleheader with Hood College on Tuesday, winning 7-6 after dropping an 11-6 decision in the opener.
Steph Zengal leads the offense with a .464 batting average with Wendy Folfas checking in at a .407 clip. Aileen Reilly (8-4, 1.65 ERA) and Morgan Clauser (6-0, 1.77 ERA) have shared the pitching duties.
The team hosts a pair of Centennial Conference doubleheaders this week with Dickinson coming in on Tuesday and Ursinus on the docket on Saturday.
Hank Janczyk's club began the week ranked ninth in the USILA Top 20 poll and hasn't played this week.
The Bullets are 5-2 on the season and are led offensively by senior midfielders Jameson Smith and Paul Werner with 13 goals apiece. Freshmen attackers Tommy Heller and Blake Gray have each scored 10 goals so far.
The Bullets have one match this coming week, against Swarthmore at home at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The latest IWLCA top 20 poll has the Bullets ranked sixth nationally, and the team upped its record to 8-1 with a 14-4 victory over Muhlenberg on Friday.
Senior Amanda Borucki leads the team with 21 goals. When senior Maggie Connolly reached 10 goals for the year against Muhlenberg, the team matched last season's output with seven double-digit goal scorers.
The women's team won its first competition of the spring in the McDaniel Invitational over Easter weekend. The women play in the Lebanon Valley Invitational on Saturday and the Susquehanna Invitational on Sunday.
On the men's side, the Bullets have taken all three tournaments in which they have played so far this spring. They will take part in the Elizabethtown Blue Jay Classic on Thursday.
The men's team sits at 5-4 with a pair of Centennial Conference matches on the slate for the upcoming week, both at home. Nick D'Amore and Kevin Maier lead the team with 6-3 records, respectively. While #1 singles player Dave Musser is 4-5.
The women's team sits at 4-6 on the season, the Bullets are 2-0 in the conference, including a 9-0 victory over McDaniel on Wednesday. Laura Gradiska (7-1) and Maria Martinovic (6-2) are the team's top two players.

Microsoft – Top Class
By Jonathan YatesApril 5, 2022May 9th, 2022Blog
Microsoft rose to dominate the personal computing operating market during the 1980s with its Microsoft Disk Operating System (later Windows) and later Microsoft Office began to dominant Productivity Software with its suite of applications (word, excel).
Consistent high margins have translated into high returns on capital employed and equity – facilitating strong cashflow generation for Microsoft and helping the group to self-fund its growth through capital expenditure and acquisitions without the need for excessive use of debt. Microsoft's growth has been strong over the long-term – with revenues growing at 15.1% compound per annum since 1994 and earnings per share growing at 16.8% compound per annum over this 27-year period.
More recently, Microsoft has been diversifying the business into other areas of technology, with a specific focus on cloud computing since the current CEO took over in 2014. The group has also been focused on increasing its presence in gaming, highlighted with the agreement to acquire Activision Blizzard, as well as transforming its suite of productivity software by emphasising higher quality, recurring subscription revenues over on-premise licences.
Cloud computing now represents circa 45% of revenues and is expected to be the key driver of growth over the medium-term – with Microsoft Azure holding a 21% market share in the global cloud computing market. Growth in its user base and continued improvement and innovation of its office offering – which should allow for higher average revenues per user – offers the potential for continued growth for Microsoft 365. Furthermore, the video gaming market is exhibiting strong growth, driven by the continued growth in internet access, the rise of cloud gaming, social gaming, e-sports and changing demographics.
In mid-March, we picked up full coverage of Microsoft with a detailed research note – covering the three key risks in a company: business, financial and valuation. Of course, what generally comes with a top-quality company such as Microsoft is a higher valuation, and one must decide whether he/she is paying the right price for the potential future growth. The full research note is now available in the members' area of our website.

In the morning, she prepares breakfast for the family. Then she takes the young children to school. After that she cleans up the breakfast table, starts cleaning the house and when that's finished, she knits for a while, till it's time to start making dinner. Just a small glimpse into the life of a so called 'ev kizi', a house girl, a girl that lives with her parents and has no job and doesn't get any education. The day described came from a house girl who was a candidate in Turkey's most stupid TV show, 'Var misin yok musun' – I'll write about that show some other time, it really deserves it's own blog. I was amazed. She was young, I think around 20, and she explained how she spends her days cleaning, cooking and knitting. I was more amazed when I checked how many house girls there are in Turkey: sixty percent of the girls between 15 and 25 are ev kizi. Sixty percent! Of course, everybody chooses his or her own way of life, but I simply can't believe that 60 percent of Turkey's young women want nothing else than to cook, clean and knit. And in the meantime wait for a knock on the door from a nice marriage candidate. When he comes, she can easily make the switch from ev kizi to ev kadini, housewife. An "everybody happy" situation? For he individual girls, okay, of course they can find happiness, and I hope they will. But the whole concept of ev kizi, the huge amount of house girls and the fact that it is widely seen as totally normal that so much potential is just cleaning and knitting the time away, I can't help it, it makes me sad.


Fishing in May continues to be great with AWESOME catches of both WALLEYE and Trout. Recently a customer of mine Tom Reed was able to get into the winners circle with a 12lb 8oz WALLEYE during the Henderson Harbor derby!
Also, we teamed up Keith Davis ....some great folks from Tim Meadors Lots-A-Limits lodge to get some great Walleyes, Pike and Trout!!!
Additionally...over the Memorial Day Weekend we had some folks from Clifton Park, NY and they got into some great trout action as well as Walleye!!
END OF JUNE - Fishing is GREAT!!
MID JUNE - Walleye and Bass Fishing VERY STRONG!

Q: XPath to select specific text inside of text block I am trying to figure out a way to pull specific values out of a big long text block.
So far I have //td[@class="PadLeft10"] which returns me a big long value starting with the company name and ending with the "View More Info" piece.
I am trying to break my results up into segments, so for example I want my code to look for the words "Primary Contact:" and then return the text that follows that, ending at the
.
I need to get the Company Name, which is always the first bit of text, then the Primary Contact, then the Address, then the Phone and Fax, then the Website, and the Organization type.
The problem is that not every record has all the values. As you can see, the second entry has the address and website, but the first one doesn't.
I am using the Dataminer Chrome Plugin, for anyone familiar with that. It has separate xpath for rows and columns, so I am going to try to make a bunch of different columns that correspond to each of the fields that I am looking for.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

A:
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

As far as a direction, the sections within table cell that you mention are neither nested DOM items, nor sibling-type DOM nodes. Those are sequential html elements that require special processing.

...

Both xpath and regex can be leveraged for such a case.

A:
I am new to xpath, but the least i can say: if you are the creator of the html code, you absolutely need to change it to be more structured
like : Primary Contact:..

Or else, you can get the elements by this selector (to edit) //td[@class="PadLeft10"]//child::span//following-sibling::text()[1] split by ':' and then proceed, but this solution stay just a diy.

A: You can select the text node you're looking for using a predicate and the contains function:
//td[@class="PadLeft10"]/text()[contains(., "Primary Contact:")]

Then you can get the substring using the substring-after function:
substring-after(
    //td[@class="PadLeft10"]/text()[contains(., "Primary Contact:")],
    'Primary Contact:'
)

And remove leading and trailing whitespace using normalize-space:
normalize-space(
    substring-after(
        //td[@class="PadLeft10"]/text()[contains(., "Primary Contact:")],
        'Primary Contact:'
    )
)

    {
        ObservableCollection<AdaptItem> pics = new ObservableCollection<AdaptItem>()
        {
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = "Assets/01.jpg"
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = "Assets/02.jpg"
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = "Assets/03.jpg"
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = "Assets/04.jpg"
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = "Assets/05.jpg"
            }
        };

        return pics;
    }

A: The issue with your approach is that you're setting the data context of the whole view instead of setting the ItemSource of the AdaptivePanel.
Just replace the below code:
this.DataContext = PicItems;

with:
AdaptiveGridViewControl.ItemsSource = PicItems;
For the above thing to work, please make sure you name your control instead of as Name="AdaptiveGridViewControl" to x:Name="AdaptiveGridViewControl"
the x: helps to use the controls in code behind for the controls that aren't a part of UWP default controls.
That being said, I would highly recommend you use x:bind instead of the Binding. I could see that you'd tried in the data template. You weren't able to do so because you need x:Bind an image control to a BitmapImage and not a string. you can do so by specifying the AdaptItem as below:
public class AdaptItem
{
    public Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage Image { get; set; }

    public static ObservableCollection<AdaptItem> AdaptList()
    {
        ObservableCollection<AdaptItem> pics = new ObservableCollection<AdaptItem>()
        {
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/01.jpg"))
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/02.png"))
            },
            new AdaptItem
            {
                Image = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/03.png"))
            },
        };

        return pics;
    }
}

and your DataTemplate is as below:
<Page.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="AdaptTemplate" x:DataType="local:AdaptItem">
        <Grid
            Background="White"
            BorderBrush="Black"
            BorderThickness="1">
            <Image
                Source="{x:Bind Image}"
                Stretch="UniformToFill"
                HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>

That being said, i would also recommend using DataBinding to set your ItemSource.

Campus Reform | College to charge unvaccinated students $1,500 'Health & Safety' fee
College to charge unvaccinated students $1,500 'Health & Safety' fee
Rhodes College will charge unvaccinated students the $1,500 each semester and require weekly testing.
Vaccination will be required for all students, staff, and faculty on campus after the FDA issues formal approval.
Ashley Carnahan '22 | California Senior Campus Correspondent
Starting Fall 2021 , Rhodes College will charge unvaccinated students $1,500 per semester to "cover the costs of mandatory testing."
The school, located in Memphis, Tennessee, announced the policy in a June 8 letter.
Rhodes College will require the COVID-19 vaccine for all students, staff, and faculty on campus after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally approves the vaccines. As of this writing, the school strongly encourages vaccination.
[RELATED: University encourages students to call cops on each other for breaking COVID-19 guidelines]
Students who choose not to receive the vaccine can file a medical or religious vaccine exemption before the start of the Fall semester. Non-vaccinated students will also be required to undergo weekly COVID testing.
Rhodes College Vice President for Student Life Meghan Weyant told WREG3 asymptomatic testing was free for all students in the Spring semester, but as vaccines have become available, the college expects students to get fully vaccinated.
"As we prepare to welcome our returning students home and the largest incoming class in Rhodes history, we believe a campus-wide commitment to vaccination will really allow us to do our part in getting our students back on campus for the academic experience that we know they so much want," Weyant said.
[RELATED: UK universities could end up paying students back for services not provided during COVID]
She added that she has not received push back from students saying they don't want to take the vaccine. "The response has been positive," she said. "Students want to be back on campus."
Weyant said in the same interview that international students who do not have access to vaccines in their home countries will be offered a chance to take part in a vaccine clinic upon arrival.
Campus Reform reached out to Rhodes Director of Communication Dylan Sandifer asking for a breakdown of expenses included in the $1,500 fee as well as the reasoning behind the fee. This article will be updated accordingly.

The Elm Calligrapha (Calligrapha scalaris) is a species which is sometimes called Elm Leaf Beetle. This beetle feeds almost entirely on elm trees and many thousands may sometimes be found on a single tree. In July, 2009, I found perhaps 2000 of these beetles on the trunk of a tree near Wolf Creek, Ochiltree Co., Texas.

Using the DHTP protocol, the DataHub and ETK make outbound-only connections to SkkyHub. This keeps all inbound firewall ports closed and requires no VPNs—and yet still allows for real-time bidirectional data flow.
Using no VPNs means no extension of the plant's security network. DHTP can work seamlessly within network proxies, data proxies and DMZ servers.
Read-only options and non-intrusive connectivity ensure that the plant remains secure and functional, even if remote data access is degraded or a remote location is compromised.
All connections are outbound, so no inbound firewall ports are opened. Zero attack surface means zero attacks.
The plant decides which data to make available remotely.
By reducing these security hurdles, Skkynet reduces security costs.
Why is the DHTP protocol ideal for Industrial IoT?

Lawmaker introduces federal 'right to repair' act with support of aftermarket industry
By Dave LaChance on February 4, 2022
Announcements | Associations | Business Practices | Repair Operations
A bill that supporters say is meant to ensure that owners and independent shops will have access to necessary vehicle repair and maintenance tools and data was introduced in the U.S. House on Thursday.
H.R. 6570, also known as the "Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair," or REPAIR Act, has the support of The Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA), Auto Care Association, CAR (Consumer Access to Repair) Coalition, and Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA).
The CAR Coalition is a new group comprised of Allstate, LKQ, the Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA), the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA), the Automotive Manufacturers Equipment Compliance Agency (AMECA), Diamond Standard, the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, AutoZone, KSI Auto Parts and Carparts.com.
In a joint press release, the organizations said that the legislation, filed by Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., would require that "All tools and equipment; wireless transmission of repair and diagnostic data; and access to onboard diagnostic and telematics systems needed to repair a vehicle" be "available to the independent repair industry."
According to the CAR Coalition, any OEM using wireless technology for the transmission of repair and diagnostic data would have to provide owners and their designees with "standardized, direct access to vehicle-generated data needed for the repair and maintenance of their vehicle via a standardized access platform" within 12 months of a final rule from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The legislation would prohibit "impeding a vehicle owner or a repair shop from obtaining service information, tools, or parts, including the ability for a vehicle owner to choose aftermarket parts, needed to fully maintain and repair a vehicle," according to the CAR Coalition's website.
There was no specific mention of requiring the proper and safe repair of vehicles, or of the use of OEM information and repair tools, which independent repair shops can currently access.
Addressing cybersecurity issues, the bill would allow OEMs to "secure vehicle-generated data," and require NHTSA to develop standards for how vehicle-generated data needed for repair can be accessed securely.
The bill would also create a "stakeholder advisory committee" to advise the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on "how to address emerging barriers to vehicle repair and maintenance," and allow consumers and "independent repair facilities" to file complaints with the FTC.
'Competition, consumer choice, and safety'
"From the repair shop to the board room, this effort has been fueled by the people of the aftermarket, and we couldn't be prouder of that alignment behind this important legislation," Paul McCarthy, president and CEO of AASA, said in a statement. "This effort supports principles of competition, consumer choice, and safety that we believe will benefit the whole automotive industry in the long run."
The text of the bill had not yet been made available as of Friday morning.
Bill Hanvey, president and CEO of Auto Care Association, said, "The tenets of this bill are principles-based, balanced, and address concerns shared across the automotive industry."
"The REPAIR Act will ensure consumers will have more, not fewer choices when they need a repair shop," said Justin Rzepka, executive director of the CAR Coalition.
Consumers "will also have access to the data they need to make sure the repair is done safely. This is important, consumer-first legislation and we look forward to working with lawmakers and industry partners to pass it," Rzepka said.
Asked by RDN to comment on the REPAIR Act, CEO John Bozzella of the Alliance of Automotive Innovators, representing nearly all of the OEMs, said, "The auto industry continues its long-standing commitment to consumer choice for vehicle repairs. And that commitment remains the gold standard for other industries, with competition thriving as the aftermarket performs 70 percent of post-warranty work on today's vehicles.
"Our national MOU [memorandum of understanding] continues to work and ensures that all information needed to repair and diagnose a vehicle is available," Bozzella said.
Under the MOU, vehicle manufacturers agree to meet nationally the requirements of the Massachusetts right to repair law enacted in December 2013. It guarantees owners and independent shops access to the same tools, software, and repair information available to franchised dealers.
The MOU was signed in 2014 by CARE and the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), representing the aftermarket, AAI and the Global Automakers, representing vehicle manufacturers represented by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Global Automakers.
The MOU was cited by the FTC in its "Nixing the Fix" report, released in May 2021, as having the effect of creating "a broad, if not complete, right to repair in the automotive industry across the United States."
The commission credited the car manufacturing industry for taking "important steps to expand consumer choice," though it criticized such manufacturer practices as restricting the availability of parts to certified OEM repair networks and the potential for automakers to use telematics to "steer the consumer."
Efforts to draft a bill at the national level began after Massachusetts voters approved amendments to a right-to-repair law in that state in November 2020. That law, which was immediately challenged in federal court by the AAI, similarly seeks to make onboard diagnostic and telematics data accessible. A decision in the lawsuit is expected March 7.
Similar to the REPAIR Act, the Massachusetts law, as amended, requires OEMs to create an "inter-operable, standardized and open access platform across all of the manufacturer's makes and models" to be used with all vehicles sold with telematics systems by the 2020 model year.
It also establishes a right for owners and independent shops to access standardized onboard diagnostic systems without any authorization needed by the OEM.
Addressing cybersecurity
The provision allowing the OEMs to "secure" the data, and calling on NHTSA to act, seemingly attempts to address one of the critics' main objections to the amended Massachusetts law.
In the Massachusetts case, AAI had warned lawmakers at the state and national level that the voter initiative would require vehicle manufacturers to redesign their vehicles in a manner that necessarily introduces cybersecurity risks.
"Proponents of the initiative not only want to receive data from a vehicle, but also want to be able to send data, including software, to uniquely designed critical vehicle systems – even while a car, or tractor trailer, is driving down the roadway," the OEM trade group wrote to the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on June 3, 2020.
"Not only does this initiative pose cybersecurity, personal safety, and privacy risks to the owner of the vehicle, but it also endangers others on the nation's roadways," the Alliance wrote.
Seeking to head off similar bills in other states, the Alliance urged Congress to support NHTSA's regulatory authority, and back a five-year preemption regarding access to telematics data.
NHTSA's failure to provide clear guidance has been cited as an issue in the Massachusetts lawsuit, with the trial judge, Douglas Woodlock, referring to the agency as a "reluctant debutante" during a conference on Wednesday.
The REPAIR bill would require the agency to work in consultation with the FTC to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking on access standards and cybersecurity within six months of enactment.
According to the CAR Coalition, the rulemaking "will also designate an independent entity to manage access to vehicle data; and require motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers to provide notice to consumers of their rights under this Act at the point of sale or lease of the vehicle. A final rule shall be issued no later than two years after the date of enactment."

While search engine optimization is important when creating content to boost traffic to your website, it is also important to pay attention to the details of the images on your pages. Here are a couple of easy tips for optimizing your pictures and graphics to improve traffic to your website.
The first step in optimizing your images in improve website traffic is to choose the right image type for your photos and graphics.
JPEG files are effective for websites because they allow for high-quality images without needing to be very large files. If your images are more than a few hundred kilobytes, the quality is probably too high for those images. High resolution is important for print images, but because computer screens are naturally lower-resolution than printed images, website images do not need to be as clear in terms of resolution.
In driving traffic to your website, you should work on making the load times on your site as fast as possible by optimizing images. JPEG files are usually the best option for doing this.
Just as choosing keywords for your content is important, choosing the right tags for your images is vital for getting your material seen.
The major search engines are always refining their search ranking algorithms. That means that it can be tough for website operators to stay on top of the most effective methods for improving search ranking, but certain things have stayed the same, including keywords in the page address, the page title, the body text, and the image tags.
That means that inserting keywords into yours images' meta tags is vital for supporting your search engine optimization efforts. As you produce your content, use the same keywords as you would in the body of the post when filling in information in your image fields. Or, you can diversify your keyword usage by utilizing synonyms for your keywords, allowing your content to reach a more diverse set of readers who might be searching different terms but looking for similar content.
Have you noticed a difference in your organic traffic since you started optimizing your images for search engines?

We'll cover all the features of Twitch, from how to sign up to watching streams, so you can get started right away!
1. Streamlabs OBS
This feature allows you to record your gameplay through the browser or through a third party software. You can also stream live as well as post comments and chat with other players in real time.
2. StatTrak
This is one of the most popular features among gamers and it allows them to track their weapons and gear in real time. It also gives you data about how many kills you have achieved and how many times you have been killed by enemies using this feature.
3. AutoModerator
This feature helps you moderate your chat without having to worry about any problems that might arise due to inappropriate content or spamming bots. It also keeps track of the number of messages sent, who sent them, when they were sent etc., so that you can take action against any user who is trying to abuse your server's resources or game servers themselves!
4. Custom Alerts
With this feature, you can create custom alerts that notify you whenever someone mentions something specific in your channel or game server! You can also set up a notification system so that whenever someone mentions something specific within a certain period of time, there will be an alert.
5. Viewing Mode
This feature allows users to view their channels in a live stream format or as a video file. This is great for those times when you don't have access to the internet, or your connection isn't stable enough to stream live content. In addition, it can also be useful for those who want to watch their favourite streamers without having to miss anything because they were unable to stay connected throughout the duration of the broadcast.
6. Chat Notification
The chat notification feature allows users to receive notifications when viewers start typing in their messages into the chat box on TwitchTV's website, which makes it easier than ever before for people who are watching streams while they are offline! This is especially useful since many people use this website while they are out of town or travelling around the world and don't have access to a computer where they can use it. The new feature will also allow viewers to send messages directly to streamers and get responses right away!
7. Networking Feature
TwitchTV recently launched a networking feature so that viewers can connect with each other and build communities around their favourite streamers. This allows users to create their own channels, find other fans of their favourite streamers, and share content together! Users can even create live events where they invite friends to watch together at once!
8. Customised Chat Rooms
TwitchTV has also added customizable chat rooms so that viewers can talk about anything under the sun! They can create custom conversations about games or discuss topics relating to the game. The chat room is like a private room where only the people in it can see what is being said, which makes it easier for people to talk without having to worry about being overheard by others.
9. Follows
If you follow someone on TwitchTV, you will get notified when they go live and will be able to watch their stream much more easily than if you had to search for it on YouTube or elsewhere on the internet. You can also follow other channels that are related to gaming, such as Twitch Plays Pokemon or some of the popular streams from major eSports tournaments like League of Legends World Championship or Dota 2 International 2017.
10. Uploads
You can upload your own videos directly onto the site, which not only allows you to show off your skills but also helps us get more subscribers who might want to see what all this buzz is about when it comes to streaming video games! You don't even have to upload a whole video; just upload one segment at a time if that's all you need done at a certain point in time.
11. Streams
You can stream live video games to the world with Twitch.Tv, but you'll need an account with a free or paid subscription. For free, you can only watch other people's streams and chat with them by typing messages into the chat box on the site.

Samsung, OnePlus, and a few other brands of Smart TVs are not currently supported by Twitch TV. This does not preclude you from using those televisions to view Twitch streams, either. To activate and utilise Twitch TV on them, you will need a Google Chromecast device.
Let's discuss the issues you may face when you try to activate Twitch.tv and also their prospective solutions
If you have a Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Apple TV, then you can watch your favourite streamers and channels on this device. However, if you are not getting connected to Twitch.tv while using one of these devices, then here are some reasons why it might be happening:
1. Make sure that your internet connection is working properly and that your router is also working fine.
2. Make sure that you are using the latest version of the app on your device and that it has all the updates applied to it. If it doesn't, then update it immediately from the app store or from Settings in your device's settings menu (depending on the device).
3. Streamer's computer or router being too slow to buffer the stream's video
4. Your connection is slow and lagging – The best way to test if this issue is happening due to a bad connection or not is by using a speed test tool such as speedtest.net or speedtestus.com, these two websites will give you an idea of how fast your connection is working at any given time, if everything works well then there should be no issues with streaming in Twitch as long as everyone else is having good speeds too!
5. Your internet provider does not support live streaming – Some internet providers do not allow their customers to stream live content over their network so if this is the case for you then try switching over to another provider who does support live broadcasting (such as Sky Broadband).
The QR code is the latest technology in the world of Twitch TV. It is a way to get your Twitch TV channel name and logo on a TV screen by scanning a QR Code.
The QR code was created by Denso Wave, a Japanese electronics company, in 1999. The QR code can be found everywhere these days, including food packaging and clothing labels.
QR codes are created by using an array of black and white blocks arranged in a square pattern. The codes are used as an alternative to barcodes that can be scanned with smartphones or tablets.
There are many different ways you can use the QR code on Twitch TV to your advantage! Here are some tips:
1) Use your Twitch username for your stream title! This will make sure that people know who you are when they scan your channel name in their mobile device or computer browser.
2) If you have a custom background image for your stream page, you can use your logo as an overlay instead of having one static image on top of everything else. This makes it easier for people to identify what channel they are watching even more easily than before!
3) If you have an animated GIF or video as part of your stream page background, then this is also a good idea because it gives you another opportunity to advertise yourself and show off your content in style! You could even include links to other websites where people can find out more about what you do and how they can get involved with it!
There are many different platforms out there that you can use to stream on Twitch, but not all of them are good. Some of them have bugs and other issues that can cause you problems.
So which software should you use? Here are some of the best options:
1. Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)
Open Broadcaster Software is a free and open source streaming application that is extremely popular among Twitch streamers. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD platforms and has built-in support for many popular capture cards like Elgato HD60 Pro and Hauppauge HD PVR 2/3. OBS also supports other streaming services such as YouTube Gaming and Facebook Live, making it a great choice if you want to stream across multiple platforms at once.
2. XSplit Broadcaster
XSplit Broadcaster is another great option for Twitch streaming because it's completely free to use on up to 3 PCs or Macs at once (there's an unlimited licence option available for $14.99/month). XSplit also offers lots of advanced features like instant replay recording, live broadcasting overlays, chroma key support (for green screen effects), and custom scene transitions. These features make it a great choice if you want to create a professional-looking stream without spending a lot of money on new equipment or additional software licences. Plus, you can download it right now and start streaming right away – no waiting around for shipping!
3. Lightstream
This is another good option if you want to stream on multiple platforms at once because it works with both Twitch and YouTube Gaming at the same time. However, Lightstream requires you to pay for a subscription before using it (there's no free option).
This is a great platform that lets you stream directly from your browser without having to download anything or install any software on your computer. You can also choose from thousands of free animated overlays and scenes to customise your stream.
5. Wirecast
Wirecast is another great option if you want something that's easy to use but powerful enough to handle all the features of a professional broadcast. It supports live streaming from cameras or computer screens, and it also has built-in audio mixing capabilities so that you don't need any additional hardware or software.
6. vMix
vMix is one of the most popular streaming programs out there, and it has a free version that lets you stream directly to Twitch and YouTube. You can also save your recordings locally or upload them directly to YouTube.
7. Nvidia Shadowplay
If you have an Nvidia graphics card and want something free, this is a good option. It works well with most games, including Fortnite and Apex Legends. The only downside is that you'll need a GeForce Experience account and an Nvidia Shield device or PC with integrated graphics card in order to use it.

Fernandinho close to making decision on Man City future, says agent
Fernandinho is close to making a decision on his Manchester City future with a number of clubs interested in signing the midfielder, according to agent Giovanni Branchini.
The 35-year-old is into the final six months of his deal at the Etihad Stadium having signed a one-year extension with the Premier League club in January 2020.
Pep Guardiola revealed earlier this week that the Brazil international, who is in his eighth season with City, may move on at the end of the campaign.
A return to Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense, where he started his career before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk and then City, has been touted.
Branchini has confirmed that approaches have been made for his client and he is now weighing up what to do next.
"We've received several proposals, good projects from Brazilian and European clubs for Fernandinho," he told Globo Esporte.
"He's a phenomenal player and person. I believe it won't be long before he knows what decision he'll make.
"Everyone knows that Fernandinho has a great affection for Athletico and the board. I, too, have an excellent relationship with president Mario Celso Petraglia.
"Conversations have always happened, but I can't go ahead and say that we talk about values, for example. It hasn't happened yet.
"I confess that it's difficult to think of Fernandinho returning to Brazil and not playing for Athletico. But we have to wait - it's a difficult decision, which he has to make with his family."
Fernandinho has been a regular for City since joining from Shakhtar for a reported £30million in June 2013, featuring more than 300 times in all competitions.
That includes 15 outings this season, eight of which have come in the Premier League, albeit just three starts.
He has made 57 passes into the final third during his league outings at a rate of 15.18 per 90 minutes, placing him behind only Jordan Henderson (16.31) and Pablo Hernandez (16.57) among players to have played at least at least six times.
Only six players have played more passes per 90 minutes than Fernandinho's average of 84.94 - a metric topped by Liverpool skipper Henderson (97.99).
City have won one, drawn one and lost one of the three league games Fernandinho has started this term for a win rate of 33.3 per cent, which rises to 58.3 per cent in the 12 games he has not been included in the XI.
NBA Heat Check: Milton thrives in 76ers shake up, Huerter and Hunter hurt Hawks
It was far from business as usual in the NBA again last week.
A total of 11 games were postponed due to stringent COVID-19 protocols, making it tough for some players and teams to find their rhythm early in the season.
Others have taken full advantage of opportunities presented to them by teams having to go deep into their rosters in order to fulfil fixtures.
We take a look at the players who had the biggest increases and decreases in production over the previous week.
RUNNING HOT…
Shake Milton
The Philadelphie 76ers have seen their roster badly affected by COVID-19 protocols and results over the past week have been a little patchy as a result – a pair of wins over the Miami Heat ended a run of three straight defeats but were followed by a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. One who man stepped up, though, was Milton, who was averaging 14.1 points per game up to January 10. Last week he averaged 29.5 – a difference of 15.4, the highest in the league.
Duncan Robinson
Last season's beaten finalists the Heat are in somewhat of a rut having lost four of their past five to slip to 4-7 for the season. Robinson has done his best to help reverse the fortunes, though, having averaged 23.3 points last week – his improvement of 12.1 from his average at January 10 was second only to Milton. Part of the improvement can be attributed to his prowess from three-point range over with Robinson averaging five per game, compared to 3.1 for the season prior to the week. Team-mate Tyler Herro has also impressed – averaging 25.5 points per game for the week, a +9.9 difference to his average leading into it.
With the Brooklyn Nets trading away Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, Caris LeVert and Rodions Kurucs – as well as a ton of picks – to acquire James Harden, Brown received greater minutes in Steve Nash's rotation. He shot 8-of-11 from the field for 16 points in a win over the Denver Nuggets and had a double-double of 15 points and 14 rebounds against the New York Knicks the following day. However, when Kyrie Irving returns, Brown can expect to see a significant reduction in his time on the floor.
The Dallas Mavericks star started to find his range from three over the past week, going 5-of-9 from beyond the arc against the Charlotte Hornets and 6-of-11 versus the Chicago Bulls. He averaged four three-point makes per game last week, a significant improvement on his figure of 1.63 on the season he went in with. Doncic also had 16 rebounds and 15 assists against the Bulls to record his 29th triple-double, surpassing the legendary Michael Jordan on the all-time list. However, he ended up on the losing side against Chicago and blamed himself: "That's on me, that game. I was being selfish a little bit because I had 30 points in the first half. That wasn't me in the second half."
GOING COLD...
Four years after going undrafted, VanVleet was rewarded for his role in the Raptors' recent success as he signed a four-year, $85million deal to stay with Toronto ahead of this season. His performances have not yet justified that outlay, however, and the past week was a particularly disappointing one. The struggling Raptors actually enjoyed a minor upturn in form, winning back-to-back games against the Hornets to improve to 4-8, but VanVleet scored just 14 points per game, 8.1 down on his prior season average of 22.1. There was at least some solace in a first double-double of the season as he stacked up 10 assists in the second Hornets game.
Kevin Huerter and De'Andre Hunter
It was not a good week for the Atlanta Hawks, their shock 3-0 start long since forgotten. Three Atlanta players were at least 6.0 points down on their prior scoring average for the year, yet it was the decline in three-point shooting that really stood out. Huerter and Hunter had each impressed from beyond the arc in the early weeks of the campaign, making 2.4 and 2.1 threes per game respectively. But a remarkable drop-off saw both make just two across three games - two of which were defeats - to each average 0.7. It meant the team as a whole made just five threes in the loss to the Utah Jazz and six as they went down to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Oklahoma City Thunder again traded assets for picks ahead of this season but have still managed to operate at .500 so far, beating the Bulls after defeats to the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, Hill's outstanding early form is showing signs of tailing off. A new arrival this year, the 34-year-old point guard was outperforming his career average of 1.2 threes made per game heading into the week (1.9) but did not make a single one of his seven attempts from beyond the arc against the Spurs, Lakers or Bulls.
Terrence Ross
After a strong start to the season with the Orlando Magic, Ross went into last week averaging 17.9 points and 2.44 three-pointers made per game. However, in meetings with the Nets, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, he shot 3-of-15 from beyond the arc – an average of just one make per game. It's therefore unsurprising he also suffered one of the biggest decreases in points per game to 11, with 23 of his 33 total points coming against Brooklyn.

Reverendjs' Customs 6/13 DANCE GAVIN DANCE!
Figured I might as well get this started.
Currently on vacation and then moving into a new apartment, but once I'm settled down (sometime next week) I plan on releasing some more customs/adding drums to some charts.
Oh man.. Dance Gavin Dance. Loved these guys for quite a while now, and then Mothership came out and just blew me away. Such a fantastic album. Sorry about the lack of vocals and bass. Vocals, I am still wildly inept at, and bass, well.. there's a lot going on in this song, and I couldn't really hear it all that much. Expect more where this came from.. but for now, here's Frozen One!
New Dance Gavin Dance Track!
Aye broski any chance we get some tracks off of ArSe?
I've been thinking about getting some drum parts down, but I have no hope of tracking guitar until Mikerisms posts his covers. He was the only reason I was able to figure out Frozen One. As for the other instruments (I.E vocals) I'm no help there.

Mining Stocks to Watch in 2013 – Part 2
February 20, 2013 | Posted by: Mike Luft
Mergers and acquisitions are expected to pick-up in 2013 as mining companies look to leverage in a "buyers market".
2. Hudbay Minerals, Inc. (Stock Profile – TSX:HBM & NYSE:HBM)
Hudbay Minerals is a Canadian integrated mining company with operations, development projects and exploration activities across the Americas. The company is principally focused on base and precious metals – primarily copper, zinc and gold.
The company has a number of projects in development but none bigger than the Constancia copper-molybdenum-silver mine located in Peru. Hudbay acquired the asset from Norsemont Mining in 2011 in a transaction valued at $520 million.
In August 2012, Hudbay's board of directors approved a US$1.5 billion investment to fund the development and construction of the Constancia mine. The Constancia development schedule contemplates nine quarters of construction, with initial production in late 2014 and full production commencing in the second quarter of 2015.
With $1.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents offset against $500 million in long term debt, Hudbay has approximately $1 billion in available working capital; and, the company plans to put that money to work developing its various projects. In addition, management is also looking outside the company for growth opportunities.
"We're looking at a lot of things and I'm hoping that we can tuck something in this year," said Chief Executive Officer David Garofalo during an interview with Bloomberg in early February. "We've never been busier looking at opportunities." Hudbay's CEO looks to take advantage of a "buyers market" as small companies struggle to raise funds and larger competitors consider sales.
Garofalo notes the Norsemont acquisition was "just under 20 percent of our market cap and that's a level that I'm pretty comfortable with, give or take. We prefer to focus on smaller deals, we don't want to bet the farm on any one acquisition." An acquisition would likely be facilitated by issuing stock or a combination of equity and cash.
Last week, HudBay stock had its "outperform" rating reiterated by analysts at RBC Capital in a research note issued on February 11, 2013. They currently have a $13.00 price target on Hudbay's shares.
A number of other firms have also recently commented on Hudbay. Analysts at Canaccord Genuity raised their price target on HudBay Minerals from $10.50 to $11.50 in a note to clients on Thursday, January 10, 2013. On the same day, analysts at TD Securities raised their price target on shares of HudBay Minerals from $10.50 to $12.00.
Hudbay Minerals is currently trading at $10.64 per share which values the company at $1.8 billion and yields a cash to market cap ratio of 55%. It's a "buyers market" and perhaps time for the company to leverage its healthy balance sheet.
3. Trevali Mining Corporation (Stock Profile – TSX:TV & OTCPK:TREVF)
One company that Hudbay might consider looking at is Trevail Mining. With development projects in Peru and Canada that are nearing production, Trevali is set to become the next TSX-listed zinc producer.
In Peru, the company is close to production at its Santander zinc-lead-silver mine where commissioning is scheduled to commence in a few weeks.
In Canada, Trevali owns the Caribou mine and mill, the Halfmile mine and the Stratmat polymetallic deposit – all located in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northern New Brunswick. Trial production from the Halfmile mine was successfully undertaken in 2012 and the Company anticipates commencing operations at its Caribou Mill Complex in late 2013.
Trevali is not only on our radar but is also on the radar of Aleksandra Bukacheva, a mining research analyst with Fraser Mackenzie in Toronto. When asked which of the companies she covers are possible takeover candidates, Ms. Bukacheva said, "The first and perhaps most likely would be Trevali Mining. It is the only emerging junior zinc producer listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. History shows that every single junior zinc company that's made it into production, like Farallon Mining and Breakwater Resources, has been taken out within a few years of operation."
Bukacheva adds, "We as a firm are bullish on zinc. We believe that there is likely to be a zinc supply shortage in the next three years, which could be a tailwind for the price of zinc."
Trevali Mining is part of the Cardero Group of companies. Based in Vancouver, the Cardero Group has been on the sell side of a few takeovers including the sale of Corriente Resources to CRCC-Tongguan Investment Co. for $680 million in 2010 and the Pampa de Pongo iron project in Peru, which sold for $100 million to the Nanjinzhao Group in 2009.
Shares of Trevali Mining are currently trading at $1 even valuing the company at $200 million – a valuation which may garner some attention from larger companies looking to expand their base metals portfolio.

Not everyone willingly opens their doors for the police…especially those given towards a bent of the entrepreneurial persuasion when purveying in goods which are not entirely "above board." This leads us to the subject of "breaching," which essentially is gaining access when access is denied.
When first in SWAT in the early '80's, we would utilize handheld rams and sledgehammers to open standard doors. Steel security doors were then employed and we resorted to window entries. Then, bars were put over windows and we adapted by using hooks attached to heavy rope and vehicles to pull down the window bars or doors or both depending on the fortifications. The bad guys, not to be outdone, utilized a two stage cage system on the doors. This ingenious design utilized a steel door on the outside…a steel enclosed caged hallway of sorts leading to a secondary door deeper in the house. We went to the infamous "Battering Ram," which utilized a long steel pole, affixed to an armored military surplus V-100 to defeat this. They went to second story structures. We responded by building a "SWAT in the Box," which was a hydraulic ramp affixed to a dual rear tire, heavy-duty truck which elevated the entry team to the second story of our budding business professionals.
All of this was in response to the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980's in Los Angeles. We employed some rather innovative designs and techniques in addition to the aforementioned systems. One was the harpoon, which was a heavy steel device that used a compressed air tank to deploy steel barbs once the solid steel pyramidal point was thrust onto the exterior walls of a structure. The barbs would be deployed and the harpoon was then pulled from the back of a truck and "voila" an, entry point! We also utilized the Keri Cutting cable. This was a hollow, self-burning line that utilized compressed oxygen from a tank worn by the operator. It burned at thousands of degrees and cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. It burned very, very bright. On one particular warrant I was the guarding officer armed with a Benelli shotgun for the operator of the Keri cable. The operator was about 6'2" and in addition to his vest and equipment he wore a welder's helmet and gloves. We hit the location at about 0300 hours. Silently approaching the front door I provided cover as he lit the cable. Now about that time for whatever reason, the dope peddler decided to open his inner front door positioned behind the steel cage door. The operator, never one for a loss of words, simply stated "Hi there!" and lit the cable. The burn from this, lights up the area like a mini-sun. Well… junior got the biggest case of the "big eyes" screamed at the top of his lungs and took off for the back of the house. Pretty funny stuff.
We used explosives on some structures. One set of charges not only opened the doors, it shattered windows in the neighborhood and moved the house on its foundation. We were all in the experimental phase of countering the ingenuity of the narcotics profession, so it really was an evolving education on a daily basis.
Breeching can be utilized not only for warrant service, but for hostage rescue or emergency rescues should the need ever arise.
Fast forward to today and there have been many advances in techniques and tools that allow access to various structures. ITTS hosts a class for Law Enforcement only, which is taught by the primary breachers for SWAT. Not all departments have the funds nor ability to employ high tech armored vehicles and the like. This class instructs the students in the techniques and available equipment that can defeat many of the commonly encountered "hard points" during the execution of warrants. Discussed and utilized are handheld rams, rakes, halligans, ballistic breaching compressed frangible shotgun rounds, cutting tools, spreaders, torch and cutting rods, vehicle hooks and line as well as systems developed and brought by the individual officers. Live fire is also incorporated into these dynamic entries. It is a fascinating class and one which is well worth attending.
Went on a SWAT ride along in the 80's w/ Scott. I was a Marine Officer at the time and Scotty pulled some strings to make it happen. A no notice warrant based on evidence was issued, a secure briefing followed by a timed rehearsal then took place. Once completed everyone suited up and headed to the "Rock House". Several events took place ensuring the local was in fact active and the actual raid start to finish took less than a minute. The SWAT Officers knew what was required and their teamwork was impressive! The threat was real as both guns and drugs were discovered and the bad guys were taken down.
That teamwork and professionalism comes with years of experience which each member of the team had in abundance!
