Topics: Partnerships, 100 Thieves, ESL, OWL, Betway, Streamer Awards
ESL Gaming x Monster Energy
Tournament organizer ESL Gaming expands their portfolio partnership with Monster Energy in a multi-year deal. Previously, Monster was a global partner for ESL Gaming which included 18 tournaments and the CS:GO Hub analytics platform. Now, Monster will be involved in ESL's mobile esports efforts.
On March 8th, ESL announced their new SnapDragon Pro Series. I covered this in last weeks article if you'd like to learn more. As part of this new sponsorship deal, Monster Energy will be sponsoring ESL's new mobile tournament series.
Monster Energy CMO, Dan McHugh, said:
Our partnership with DreamHack, and now ESL Gaming, makes this one of the longest and most successful partnerships within the esports and gaming industry. Just as we have grown many of our other major partnerships, so too will we continue to foster and grow top-tier esports tournaments, mobile esports, DreamHack festivals, and even retail partners.
Monster Energy has always been an integral fit and partner with ESL Gaming tournaments and broadcasts. Monster Energy, one of the most prominent energy drink brands, rightfully targets a gaming audience that ESL helps garner in their iconic events. Monster is getting ahead of the curve in adding ESL's mobile events to its partnership. I'm sure the SnapDragon Pro Series will be very successful in terms of cultivating a wide range of viewers globally, and Monster will be front and center as a long-time ESL partner.
100 Thieves x JBL Collaboration
Longtime partner JBL unveiled a limited edition 100 Thieves Headset with the companies signature geo-print design and branding last week. The design is on the JBL Quantum ONE headset, which is advertised to have "exceptional in-game sound and performance." The 100 Thieves x JBL headset will be dropping exclusively on StockX via DropX for a $300 price point on March 24th at 1 PM EST.
The limited-edition drop was also celebrated with an exclusive event in Los Angeles, California. The event aimed to "visually bring to life the evolution of sound in gaming to demonstrate its relevance to culture today." The private party concluded with a performance from Billboard Top 50 artist, Gunna. Matt "Nadeshot" Haag, 100 Thieves founder and CEO, said:
Collaborating with JBL has been an incredible experience and highlights how game-changing quality sound can be. We strive to work with brands that share our commitment of embracing diversity at the intersection of gaming, culture, and lifestyle in a forward-thinking way.
This is a really smart move from JBL and 100 Thieves to do this limited edition drop. Not only is the design really cool, but only a limited number of headsets will be released on StockX's innovative direct-to-consumer product platform, DropX. This high demand and low quantity model has been wildly successful for other lifestyle brands, and 100 Thieves has done this for many of their clothing drops before.
In regard to the 100 Thieves and JBL partnership since 2020, the fit between them is nothing short of perfect. Both entities push the boundaries when it comes to going outside their comfort zone and reaching beyond their brands target demographics. Together, they leverage their brands to further mingle gaming and lifestyle culture together. 100 Thieves was JBL's first gaming partner and now they have solidified themselves as a very popular gaming headset provider.
Oddin.gg x Betway
Esports odds feed and risk management provider Oddin.gg announced a strategic partnership with online betting platform Betway. As part of a multi-year deal, Oddin.gg will provide its odds feed and help facilitate Betway's expansion into esports betting. Oddin's machine learning algorithms and data science will also be leveraged in this deal to provide B2B services.
Recently, Odin's application was accepted by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement for a gaming license. Marek Sucher, managing director of Oddin.gg, Added:
While many bookmakers still put together business cases to justify the betting potential of esports, Betway was the first global operator to see the undeniable trend and potential of esports from the outset. Betway is by far the most recognizable fully regulated brand within esports betting. I could not be more thrilled that we will be co-authoring the next chapter of Betway Esports, which focuses on an enhanced esports betting experience and user engagement.
This is a very under-the-radar deal that'll be very worthwhile in the long-run for the growth of esports betting in my opinion. Betway is already a partner with CS:GO esports series BLAST Premier. Also, Betway's online bookmaker has made its way to the US and is legal in 5 states so far. Oddin.gg appears to use data and risk management as a big innovator in the esports betting technology space. Although betting isn't legal in my state yet, I'm still very excited to see the future growth of betting within esports as that'll bring in a huge crowd of new fans.
Knicks Gaming x Razer
Gaming peripherals and hardware company Razer has partnered with NBA 2K League franchise Knicks Gaming. They're deemed the official gaming chair partner of NBA 2K Knicks Gaming. As such, they'll provide the Knicks Gaming training facility with gaming chairs for both its players and staff.
Also, Razer will receive 'significant brand inclusion' across Knicks Gaming digital assets such as social media and their website. Razer gaming chairs will even be integrated into Knicks Gaming-branded original digital content. For example, they plan on doing a chair unboxing and assembly video tutorial.
Nothing too crazy about this partnership. In fact, it's probably as traditional as you can get for a gaming partnership. I will say that Razer has ramped up their gaming portfolio of sponsorship in the last couple weeks. They've partnered with Envy Gaming+OpTic, Guild Esports, and now an NBA 2K League franchise.
Russia-Ukraine: Esports Charitable Initiatives
Esports organizations/companies Epic Games, WePlay, Humble, and SK Gaming have launched charitable initiatives for those affected in Ukraine. I'll go into detail about every one individually:
Epic Games:
Epic is committing all its Fortnite proceeds from March 20, 2022 through April 3, 2022 to humanitarian relief for people affected by the war in Ukraine. XBOX is joining them in this effort as they're committing their net proceeds for Fortnite during this time. The humanitarian relief organizations they're supporting are as follows: Direct Relief, UNICEF, UNWFP, UNHCR . Feel free to click on these links and donate if you so choose.
WePlay Compete:
The Ukrainian tournament platform launched a series of online esports tournaments to support the Ukrainian army. Called Play for Ukraine, it will include online Dota 2 and League of Legends tournaments. All prize money earned by players during the events will be donated to organizations supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Humble:
Humble, a digital storefront that sells bundles of games and content to benefit charity, launched a Stand With Ukraine bundle made up of over 120 games and additional content. They've teamed up with game creators, book publishers, and software makers around the world for a bundle 100% dedicated to supporting the victims and refugees from Ukraine during this crisis. 100% of the proceeds will go to Razom for Ukraine, International Rescue Committee, International Medical Corps, and Direct Relief.
SK Gaming:
Esports organization SK Gaming did a Ukraine charity relief stream that raised 3,000€ to aid those affected by the war in Ukraine. Content creators from SK Gaming helped get behind the project and was involved in the stream.
Overwatch League Kicks off May 6th
The Overwatch League (OWL) will start its 5th season at Tech Port Arena in San Antonio Texas. They will be showcasing the new Overwatch 2 game for the 1st time at an esports event. The Houston Outlaws, specifically Beasley Esports, will host what is billed as the "Battle of Texas." There will be fans in attendance as the Outlaws take on the Dallas Fuel.
Overwatch 2 is set to be released sometime in 2023, but Activision Blizzard said via a community update that the game is going to be divided into two parts, A player-versus-player closed beta released in late April (PC only), and a noncompetitive mode coming out at a later date. So, this event will really be a sneak peak of what's to come from the game.
Tech Port Arena is part of the 130,000-square-foot Tech Port Center/Arena property and can hold roughly 3,300 guests. Although the arena is in San Antonio, the league considers San Antonio as part of the Houston Outlaws territory. With Envy+OpTic and Complexity residing in Texas as well, the state is becoming THE home for esports. Lori Burgess, COO for Beasley Esports added (from Sports Business Journal):
Texas is one of few states that has several major esports organizations residing here, including Beasley Esports, Envy and Complexity, and is home to several tech companies such as Alienware, HP/Omen, Dell, Nvidia and GameStop. Texas also offers some of the best esports venues in the country with the new Tech Port Center and Esports Stadium Arlington that only complements the notion that sports is the No. 1 source of entertainment here. We are built for hosting esports fans from around the world, and this state loves to celebrate its rivalries.
I'm excited to watch this event and see if the community is a fan of OW2. I personally never played Overwatch, but the game was always fascinating to me. Lori made a good point, Texas is really starting to be the epicenter of esports in the US.
QTCinderella Launches streamer Awards
Streamer QTCindarella hosted the inaugural Streamer Awards in Los Angeles last Sunday. Viewership peaked at 381,000 as they gave awards out to the best streamers in their respective categories in 20201. QTCindarella and her co-host Maya Higa gave out a total of 27 awards that night.
Additionally, the broadcast had 900,000 unique viewers with 3.5 million total live views. This is the second top-50 broadcast by a woman, second only to U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The event also broke top 5 trending on Twitter, according to Mark Cai. Evolved talent agent Kelsey Remige told Sports Business Journal "This was an event put on by streamers for streamers." Twitch also had little to no involvement on the back-end for this awards show. Remige said "It wasn't a Twitch production; it was a QT production."
Regardless, production for the show was great. The streamers were well-dressed, had red carpet interviews, and there was a teleprompter running the broadcast. It costs a total of $200,000 in production. QTCinderella also worked with Evolved to secure many brand partners for the event, many of which had naming rights to specific awards:
Aimlab (Best FPS Streamer)
Karat (Best Smash Bros. Streamer)
Coinbase (League of their Own, Streamer of the Year)
Paid content platform Fansly (Best ASMR Streamer, Best Just Chatting Streamer)
Website creation platform FourthWall (Rising Star Award)
VPN brand Surfshark (Best Strategy Game Streamer)
Livestreaming software brand Streamlabs (Gamer of the Year)
The Northman (Legacy Award)
Overall, the Streamer Awards was extremely successful. It was a win-win for the streamers, fans, and brands involved. The event smashed viewership expectations as all of these streamers' diehard fans watched the awards show to see their favorite streamer win. This is also the 1st time we've seen a strictly dedicated industry awards show for streamers only.
NBA 2k League 2022 Prize Pool Boost

Q: Swift - Missing argument label 'where:' in call but fixing causes a "cannot convert value of type Bool to expected" error I am trying to access parsed JSON data in an if statement and it outputs the following error:

Missing argument label 'where:' in call

When I resolve the error by clicking fix it gives me the following error:

Cannot convert value of type 'Bool' to expected argument type '(Status) throws -> Bool'

Here is the code:
import UIKit
import Foundation

// JSON parsing
struct Welcome: Decodable {
    let greeting: String
    let instructions: [Instruction]
}
struct Instruction: Decodable {
    let statuses: [Status]
    let message, messageURL: String
    let status: Bool
    let load, time: Int

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case statuses, message
        case messageURL = "message_url"
        case status, load, time
    }
}
struct Status: Decodable {
    let title: String
    let code: Int
    let status: Bool
    let time: Int
}

//main class
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    //Hides the status bar
    override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
        return true
    }

    //Storyboard controllers
    @IBOutlet weak var downImage: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var upImage: UIImageView!

    //The meat of the program
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        let url = "https://issteamdown.com/status.json"
        let urlObj = URL(string: url)

        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlObj!) {(data, response, error) in
            guard let data = data else { return }
            do {
                let json = try JSONDecoder().decode(Instruction.self, from: data)
                json.statuses.forEach { status in
                    if !json.statuses.contains(where: false) {
                        print("all true")

                        // show the image view
                        self.upImage.isHidden = false
                    }
                }
            } catch {
                print(error)
            }

        }.resume()
    }
}

If someone can please assist me with this error, I would be very grateful. I have tried searching but the solutions offered by similar questions don't seem to be very helpful or I am not implementing them correctly.
If someone could help me understand what is going on here, that would be fantastic of them.
Thanks in advance!

A: contains(where:) expects a closure that returns a bool:
if !json.statuses.contains(where: {$0.status == false}) {
    print("all true")
    self.upImage.isHidden = false
}

json.statuses is an array of type [Status], and you want to check if no element of that array has a status == false .

As noted by @MartinR in the comments, you can write the above condition more elegantly like so:
if json.statuses.allSatisfy ({ $0.status }) {
    print("all true")
    self.upImage.isHidden = false
}

To learn more about closures, have a look here.

Q: Customizing spinner does not work I tried to customize spinner as follows where image is a 9 patch image.
<Spinner
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:background="@drawable/image"
/>

The result is this: Spinner screenshot
The text is completely hidden by the image. How to make the text visible?
Edit:
I verified that I can see the text on spinner if I use the image1. But if I use this image2 (created by yours truly) then I cannot see the text. Seems something is wrong with my 9 patch image. But I can't figure out what ?

A: try this code

layout:-

 <Spinner
                android:id="@+id/endmonthsp"
                android:layout_width="140dp"
                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="5dp"

                android:gravity="center" />

Activity:-

ArrayList<String> month = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList("Month",
            "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "june", "July",
            "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"));

Spinner  spinner5 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.endmonthsp);
        startdatemonthadapter = new DateAdapter(this, R.layout.spinnerlayout,
                month);
        spinner1.setAdapter(startdatemonthadapter);
        startdatemonthadapter
                .setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);

Adapter:-

public class DateAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

    public DateAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<String> objects) {
        super(context, resource, objects);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        this.context = context;
    }

    private Context context;

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        View view = convertView;
        if (view == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflate = (LayoutInflater) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            view = inflate.inflate(R.layout.spinnerlayout, null);
        }

        TextView spinneritemTV = (TextView) view
                .findViewById(R.id.spinneritemTV);
        spinneritemTV.setText(getItem(position));
        return view;
    }
}

spinnerlayout:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/spinneritemTV"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Testing "
        android:textColor="#868A8D"
        android:textSize="18sp" />

</RelativeLayout>

A: You need to set background of spinner as follows:
In your layout xml :
         <Spinner
             android:id="@+id/spinner1"
             style="@style/spinner_style"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
             android:gravity="center_vertical"
             android:layout_height="45dp" />

Now in style.xml add a style for spinner as follows:
` <style name="spinner_style">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/spinner_bg</item>
    <!--
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginRight">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
    -->
    <item  name="android:paddingLeft">5</item>
 </style>`

Now make a xml named spinner_bg.xml in drawable :
    `

<item><layer-list>
        <item><shape>

                 <gradient android:angle="90" android:endColor="@android:color/transparent" android:startColor="@android:color/transparent" android:type="linear" />

                <padding android:left="2dp" android:right="2dp" />
            </shape></item>
        <item>
            <bitmap android:gravity="center_vertical|left" android:src="your background drawable for spinner here" />
        </item>

    </layer-list></item>

`
According to your question, below part of spinner_bg.xml did the trick.
 `<item>
      <bitmap android:gravity="center_vertical|left" android:src="your background      drawable for spinner here" />
   </item>`

Thats it.

A: There is really nothing wrong in setting the spinner background directly as I have done. Of course you cannot have different "states" of the spinner then. The text was not visible because the 9 patch image was corrupted for some unknown reason. I recreated the image and I can see the text on the spinner now. One more thing: the text will not be visible if "content areas" are not defined on the 9 patch.

Harbourwalk Condos.Canadian house prices will fall by another 10% in 2023!
Harbourwalk Condos.Canadian house prices will fall by another 10% in 2023! After a series of interest rate hikes in 2022, the average price of the Canadian real estate market has fallen by more than 180000 yuan from its peak in February.Please Visit: Harbourwalk Condos to Get Your VVIP Registration Today!
Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University University in Montreal, said the "weakness" in the market meant that home valuations had become more accurate. This decline in house prices is likely to continue into 2023, he said.
"House prices have been out of touch with reality for some time, and a rapid rise in interest rates could lead to a fairly rapid fall and sudden adjustment in house prices," Lander said in a telephone interview with CTVNews. "
The Bank of Canada has raised interest rates seven times in 2022, raising its key interest rate from 0.25% in February to 4.25% in December. By raising interest rates, the central bank's goal is to reduce inflation, Lander said. Although annual inflation fell slightly to 6.8 per cent in November, the central bank's target is to fall to about 2 per cent.
Lander said the purpose of raising interest rates is to reduce demand and discourage Canadians from opting for large loans such as mortgages. Doug Porter, chief economist at Bank of Montreal (BMO), said this has been reflected in some of the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
According to CREA, actual monthly sales in November 2022 are nearly 39 per cent lower than in November 2021. In November 2021, MLS systems in major Canadian cities reported 49357 residential sales. A year later, sales were 30135. Neither of these figures is seasonally adjusted.
"the overall trend has not changed significantly (since October)," Porter told CTVNews. Sales are significantly lower than the 10-year average. "
Mr Porter said he expected sales to continue to slow in 2023. High interest rates will also continue to put downward pressure on house prices next year, he said.
According to non-seasonally adjusted data from CREA, the average house price of residential property in Canada has fallen by 12% from November 2021 to November 2022. According to BMO's forecasts, average house prices are expected to fall by another 10 per cent in the next six to 12 months, according to Porter.
"this only reflects the impact of interest rates," he said. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the market was overheated and there should be at least a small correction. "
As interest rates rise, economists at Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) predict that Canada will enter a recession in the first quarter of 2023. The economic slowdown could also put downward pressure on house prices, Porter said.
The decline in house prices may not necessarily translate into an increase in housing affordability, as houses mainly continue to bear the cost of rising interest rates, Porter said.
The Bank of Canada is scheduled to issue a new statement on January 25. Although the central bank hinted that it might be prepared to suspend interest rate increases, it did not completely rule out the possibility of further rate increases.
According to Vice President Sharon Kozicki, the decision to continue to raise benchmark interest rates will depend on the latest economic data.
"We are moving from how much to whether or not to raise interest rates," Kozicki said in a speech on December 8, adding that the central bank was still prepared to "take strong action" on interest rates if necessary.
BMO expects to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in January and keep them stable until 2024.
Porter said the Bank of Canada was unlikely to cut its benchmark interest rate any time soon. As a result, Canadians may have to say goodbye to the low interest rate environment throughout 2021.
"those days may have passed," he said. Our current level of interest rates is closer to the level of interest rates we are likely to face in the next few years. "

I know, I know. You're probably thinking, "enough with the tomatoes!!" But I can't seem to stop... Bear with me, though, we'll be on to winter squash and root veggies ad nauseum soon enough.
The tarts were inspired by one that our friend, Kali, made for us this summer. The original recipe, which is much simpler than the one below - just pastry, tomatoes, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper, is from Canal House Cooking Volume No. 4: Farm Markets & Gardens - a delicious set of cookbooks.
While the Canal House tart was delightful, I had a hankering for something a tad more substantial and less appetizer-like today. I also had a big hunk of gruyère cheese that was not getting any younger and a simple chevre that I had no other plans for. And since the package of puff pastry I'd bought came with two sheets, I thought, "why not try this tart two ways?" So I made one with the goat cheese and one with the gruyère. But that is where the differences end, otherwise, they were identical.
It's important to use only the best tomatoes -- you want something really sweet and rich for this since the flavor will be first and foremost.
Thankfully, our thyme plant is not bothered by the end of summer (unlike me) and was happy to oblige with a few tender stems.
I am a huge fan of caramelized onions (though to be honest these were not truly caramelized, just sautéed with salt, pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar) so I thought some alliums would make a nice addition, too.
The resulting tarts were mighty toothsome. I loved the addition of the cheese and the sweet onions. My only regret was that I had not thought to scatter some pine nuts on them (so I've added that in the recipe below).
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While you're waiting for the pastry to defrost, sautée the onions in a frying pan in olive oil until translucent. Splash with a little balsamic vinegar and continue to cook another 1-2 minutes.
2. Lay the sheet of puff pastry out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Prick the dough inside the border all over with the tines of a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
3. Spread a layer of whichever cheese you choose on the pastry. Top with the onions, then arrange the tomatoes on the pastry in a single layer (crowding or overlapping the tomatoes will make the puff pastry soggy). Strip the branches of thyme, scattering the leaves over the tomatoes. Drizzle the tart with some olive oil and season with pepper. If using gruyère, reserve a little cheese to sprinkle over the top.
4. Bake the tart until the pastry is crisp and deeply browned on the bottom and around the edges, 30-40 minutes. Season with salt and serve.
When can I come over for a bite?
Jealous...your tomatoes look so fresh and delicious.
I love tomatoes so much that you could never post too many recipes with them. I love this one - so simple, delicious and satisfying. Thanks for the yummy recipe.
I Love the idea, I think I will tweak it a bit and might make it with filo pastry because I love the crunch it gives..

Sports Commentary
Moving the MLB All-Star game was the right decision
Talking Chop
The MLB decided to relocate the All-Star game to Denver Colorado following a controversial voting bill passed in Georgia.
Devin Tabourn
While the Atlanta Braves said they were "deeply disappointed" by the outcome, Major League Baseball's decision to pull the All-Star game out of Atlanta in response to the new Georgia voting law was the right decision.
"This was neither our decision, nor our recommendation and we are saddened that fans will not be able to see this event in our city," the team said in a statement. "The Braves organization will continue to stress the importance of equal voting opportunities and we had hoped our city could use this event as a platform to enhance the discussion."
President Joe Biden and White House staff along with Former President Barack Obama spoke and said they thought MLB made a good decision. The change in location of this year's MLB All-Star game is going to be one of the many things that are going to happen until voting rights are corrected and the restrictions to voting through ballot boxes are removed.
Many are concerned that the voting law will limit voting possibilities for the African-American community. MLB's decision to move the All-Star game from Atlanta is in accordance with the league's history of being a great ally to people of color. In 2012, MLB became the first sports organization to join the Civil Alliance, a nonpartisan coalition of businesses aimed at building a more equal future. More equal future for whom? This needs a little explanation for context.
MLB taking a stand on the voting law can bring about serious change in Georgia because it puts pressure on other major companies to pull business out of Georgia, something both Republicans and Democrats oppose.
MLB is not the only organization using its leverage, and Georgia is not the only state introducing voter suppression laws and. Other states, such as Texas and Florida, have started introducing similar voting laws to Georgia's and companies such as Delta, Coca-Cola, American Airlines, Dell Technologies and parts of the film industry are fighting against these laws by taking a stance on the issue of disenfranchisement and voter suppression. Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua, pulled their film production for "Emancipation" out of Georgia because of the state's new voting law.
Action on a corporate and organizational level could force states to change their laws because it could result in a loss of corporate tax dollars for states, something nobody in power wants.
MLB pulling out of Georgia is similar to what the NBA did for Black Lives Matter. The NBA and players decided to not play because of the racism that was going on. Players protested to not play after the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Sports organizations are starting to take a stance against racism and inequality. Perhaps more importantly, players in the leagues are impacting other players, which is influencing the public. We've seen the expansion of social media allowing players to expand and reach more people to influence them based on their actions.
We live in a society now where people want to be heard, especially people of color. Thus, MLB taking a stance and being proactive sets the tone for everyone else because sports are such a huge staple in our culture. When we see our favorite teams or players taking a stance, it influences us to do the same. Obviously, the decision did not please everyone as some people were excited about the game being in Atlanta, but this is pushing towards a bigger goal of equality.

Uncaused Force. Teach the Controversy!
By Coryoth Used by permission of author.
It is time to closely and rigorously examine the prevailing ideas about gravity and force, its limitations and its failures. Our abilities to observe and record the very workings of the universe have improved astonishingly over the last hundred years. We now have space based telescopes, vast radio telescopes, and a stunning array of other equipment for astronomical observation. We also have at our disposal huge and expensive particle accelerators and other equipment to detect and observe interactions at the smallest possible scale. With these tools at our disposal, new observations comes an ever mounting weight of evidence that our very conceptions of gravity and force are deeply flawed.
In the early 1980s astronomers began noticing a strange phenomenon. More powerful telescopes were providing more precise and detailed data about distant galaxies, and it was not what was expected ,,. Stars that cluster into galaxies form orbits about a dense central hub. The nature of these orbits, according to standard theories of gravity (both classical Newtonian and Einstein's General Relativity), should be determined by their distance from the central hub. Just as the more distant planets in our solar system complete slower orbits of the sun, the theory predicted that the further the stars were from the galactic center, the slower their orbit. This was not at all what was occurring however. Distant stars were moving at the same speed as those much closer to the center - in fact stars tended to have a roughly fixed orbital speed regardless of their distance. Quite simply, gravity wasn't working.
Later, in the early 1990s yet more evidence came to light. Observations of certain classes of supernovae gave some startling results. If the observations were to be believed then not only was the universe expanding, but the rate expansion was increasing ,. Such an acceleration could simply not be accounted for by standard theories of gravity. It was assumed that the observations must be in error. Unfortunately a vast array of other methods that attempted to get a more accurate measurement simply confirmed the acceleration. The theory of gravity fails to explain this adequately.
At the same time that astronomers were collecting observation contradicting the flawed theory of gravity, scientists working at the other end of the scale spectrum were generating equally confounding results. The unreasonable effectiveness of quantum field theory in describing and predicting the interactions of fundamental particles was shown again and again in experiments. Yet at a fundamental level the theory of gravity proposed by Einstein with General Relativity was simply incompatible with quantum field theory ,,. Trying to treat gravity as another particle results in nonsense predictions; particles themselves can't reasonably have a derivable gravitational field if, as predicted by quantum mechanics, its position and velocity cannot simultaneously be known; General relativity and quantum mechanics are entirely at odds when it comes to what happens in the neighbourhood of singularities . In short, at the fine scale gravity simply doesn't work.
So if gravity is flawed at both the atomic and galactic scale, surely it makes sense to question exactly how efficacious it really is at all the scales in between. While Newton's conception of gravity seems to produce adequate results, the reality is that predictions of planetary motion as given by such a theory are simply approximations. The three body problem remains unsolved. One of the greatest mathematicians of the last 200 years, Henri Poincare spent much time trying to resolve the problem as a means to determine if the our solar system is, in fact, stable. He failed. Thus despite claims that Newton's theory has been verified by observation, it is only correct up to the quality of the approximation. There could very well be other forces at work, subtly adjusting the movements of the planets, keeping the entire system stable. The question remains? How should we deal with the patchwork, flawed and hole-ridden theory of gravity?
The answer is as clear here as it is in dealing with the irreducible complexity and specified complexity that shatter the flawed theory of evolution. There is clearly a force in action causing stars to orbit galactic centers at an almost fixed velocity, the same force that drives the acceleration of the expansion of the universe - a force caused by nothing we are capable of observing or detecting: an uncaused force. Clearly it is this same uncaused force that acts at the quantum mechanical scale rather than the flawed theoretical "gravity" that is incompatible with the observed phenomena of particle physics. Indeed, in considering such things we can see the actions of such an uncaused force as a delicate and subtle influence on everything in the universe: from the movements of subatomic particles, to the movements of the stars in the heavens. And yet in every high school in America we still teach the fallacious theory of gravity that is so clearly contradicted by the physical world.
It is clear that this inaccurate and defective theory is being pushed by secular scientists seeking to further their anti-religious agenda. A true accounting of physics will show the failures of this "theory" to explain observable results. It is time to give equal time to Uncaused Force as an alternative theory in our classrooms, to let our children see that science itself shows the very action of the hand of God at every level, and every instant, of our Universe. Don't let unchristian scientists pollute the mind of our youth with their erroneous theory of gravity that denies God's hand. Write to your schoolboard and demand equal time for the theory of Uncaused Force. It is time for an open mind in science. Teach the controversy.

The supposed grudge match between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau took place on Friday at the Wynn Resort Golf Club in Las Vegas No punches were thrown and no referees were required. It was just 12 holes of match play and Koepka made it a short event with a 4 and 3 victory giving him bragging rights for the time being. Koepka had it over and done with before a well earned nap could be taken during the proceedings. The made for Media feud between the two ignited this past summer of some ridiculous comments, tweets and videos designed to incite the casual golf fan and fan the flames of golf fans everywhere in Kardashian like fashion. Unfortunately the material used to incite all of this stuff seemed to be manufacturered and amplified. It would have been deleted out of any soap opera script. Golf really doesn't lend itself to this type of silly behavior and you can't help but think that this "feud" was someone's media creation to create tension and excitement. Serious old school golf fans will ignore this as not a part of the game. Millennial Top Golf devotees will probably revel and keep the feud going on indefinitely. To label this behavior as a feud is probably a misnomer.
DeChambeau and Koepka are clearly different types of personalities. Koepka is quiet and has an immense amount of self confidence, which is well deserved with 4 major championship trophies under his belt. He seems to be insular and private in nature and would rather let his golf clubs speak for themselves. He has a recent history of nagging injuries which may have derailed his dominance on the PGA Tour in 2021. Koepka seems uncomfortable in the limelight and opining on various matters that impact the tour or societal norms. Koepka's game is currently in a solid place and he's been able to play well coming back from injuries and is very competitive particularly in golf majors. Whatever opinions he might espouse are curious and really can be taken with a "ho-hum."
DeChambeau is the exact opposite of Koepka. He is gregarious and outgoing and is expressive on the golf course. Sometimes his emotions have cost him earlier in his career but he seems to be in much better control of those emotions these days although he's hit some pretty remarkable shots this year. DeChambeau decided to differentiate his approach to the game by adopting a complete body make over to increase distance. Hitting 8 irons 200 yards is not something the average golfer will ever become familiar with. All of his clubs from driver, wedge to putter are the same length. He attacks the golf course with relish and takes significant risk with the skill to overcome those risks most of the time and whatever happens sometimes leaves him in some very interesting locations on the golf course. DeChambeau 's game may be in need of some fine tuning as his approach gives him many choices as how to attack the golf hole. His performance has declined slightly since his victory at the US Open at Winged Foot in 2020. Irrespective of the feud, DeChambeau creates significant fan interest with his approach to the game. If he gets the game dialed in, he could become a dominant force in the game but we all know that this is not something that the game of golf has ever allowed a player to do.
Both of these players have too much skill to be affected by mindless banter of a feud. Their skill levels are at the highest end of the PGA leader board and both players are in the prime of their career. Both players are major champions with Koepka having a total of four. Both players are prodigious hitters of the golf with average drives of over 300 yards anchoring the PGA Tour's premier power game.
Feuds in golf never work as a feud is designed to elicit adrenalin and emotion, which adversely impacts the rhythm of the golf swing. Real competition between players like Palmer and Nicklaus had to do with staying focussed on their own game rather than on what the other guy was going to do. There was little evidence of a feud at the 12 hole match on Friday as Koepka continued to convert putts while DeChambeau was waving his wand at the air with another miss. All that being said, Koepka was the better man on this day but on a given day, a different result can always occur in golf.
This 12 hole made for TV grudge match between Koepka and DeChambeau will be soon be forgotten-probably after this column is read. The Media will prolong the feud with some future inane comments from the participants and life will go on. Hopefully, these two guys will put an end to the nonsense and be better spokespersons for the game of golf. It's kind of annoying and these guys continue to snipe at each other for no apparent reason other than publicity. They should be concerned about their fellow PGA competitors not each other.

The combination of our straight-warp UsFlex® carcass with specially compounded rubber covers creates the toughest conveyor belt available today.
While traditional plied belting utilizes a conventional crimp-weave fabric in plain or crow's foot patterns the UsFlex® straight-warp carcass construction incorporates a completely different concept. The lengthwise and crosswise belt strength is concentrated in parallel planes of heavyweight, high-tenacity straight yarns which are then locked together by a unique binder system. Each of these planes provides the reinforcing effect of multiple plies of conventional fabric with no crimping to weaken the yarns and cause stretch. The carcass binder system acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact and puncture.
Balanced cover ratios are extremely important in conveyor belt manufacturing. Conveyor belt cupping, curling and tracking problems are greatly reduced with a well-balanced conveyor belt. UsFlex® takes this concept a step further by incorporating a top to bottom cover thickness ratio that will insure correct troughability in the most stringent appications.
Available in widths to 96″ with tension ratings to 550 PIW (96 kN/m) and manufactured with pulley cover gauge at least one half of the carry cover gauge.
Available in widths to 96″ with tension ratings to 1500 PIW (262 kN/m) and manufactured with pulley cover at least one third of the carry cover gauge.
A wide variety of rubber covers can be applied to the UsFlex® carcass to safely convey products like hard rock, coal, impact minerals, ores, logs, aggregate and grain.
A new state-of-the-art loom located in the Atlanta facility is fully dedicated to weaving Fenner Dunlop's UsFlex® straight-warp fabric. This technology allows us to react quickly to our customers' needs.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is at immediate risk and undocumented youth are in the fight of their lives. DACA has been a lifeline allowing more than 8,000 young adults in Tennessee the opportunity to more fully participate in our communities, by granting temporary deportation relief and a work permit. Canceling the DACA program would have detrimental effects on immigrant families, our communities, and our economy.
Our current moment: Because of the callous actions of the Tennessee Attorney General and 9 other extremist AGs, the DACA program is under immediate threat and my family's future is at risk.
Recognizing the very real danger that the DACA program is in, a bi-partisan group of Senators filed a new version of the Dream Act on Thursday, which would provide more permanent protection and a pathway to citizenship for many undocumented youth. We'll fight for the Dream Act, but we need to protect DACA, too.
Throughout August we need to mobilize a massive movement of DACA recipients and the thousands of our teachers, employers, friends, and neighbors that support us. Over the next month, we'll be sharing tools and resources for you to help us build and show support for DACA and invite you to join us and take actions at key moments.
About DACA: Established in 2012, DACA has been one of the country's most successful and popular immigration initiatives. DACA allows the opportunity for recipients to more fully participate in our communities and contribute to our economic growth. DACA grants a 2-year renewable work permit and temporary relief from deportation to certain undocumented individuals who entered the country as children. DACA recipients are registered with the federal government and passed strict criminal and education background checks. Over 8,000 Tennesseans have applied for DACA and thousands more could qualify if the program continues. Nationwide more than 800,000 young adults have DACA.
What's Happening with DACA & the Dream Act?

Q: SwiftyJSON to implement json string to swift object How to implement json string mapper swift object?
class User{
      var name:String
      var age:Int
}

Easy way to convert User object to a json string?
and convert a json string to User object?

A: Check out SwiftyJSON doc's about initialization
https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON#initialization
Basically your only option is to write a method to convert your object into a dictionary and other one that can build your object from dictionary.
Simple example for your two properties User:
class User {
  var name:String
  var age:Int

  init(name: String, age: Int) {
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
  }
}

extension User {
  convenience init(userDict: [String : AnyObject]) {
    let name = userDict["name"] as! String
    let age =  userDict["age"] as! Int
    self.init(name: name, age: age)
  }

  func serialize() -> [String : AnyObject] {
    return ["name": name, "age": age]
  }
}

Then if you want to pass json strings around your app you can check out
NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject
NSString(data: yourdata, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
to produce a json string. There is also NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData to convert your data the other way around.
Hope that helps!
Edit:
To return a string containing JSON replace serialize method with following:
    func serialize() -> String? {
      if let data = try? NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(["name": name,   "age": age], options: NSJSONWritingOptions(rawValue: 0)) {
      if let s = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
        return s as String
      }
    }
    return nil
  }

A: I used to make a SwiftyJSON JSON object by setting the key and value for each variable, but it felt tedious doing it for every class I make and wasn't flexible when you add new variables to it, so I found a better way for Swift 2.0.
With Swift 2.0, they introduced a class called Mirror. By using this, you can iterate through your lets and variables as such:
class User {
    var name:String
    var age:Int

    init(name: String, age: Int) {
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
    }

    var json: JSON {
        get {
            var dict = [String: AnyObject]()
            let mirror = Mirror(reflecting: self)
            for (_, attr) in mirror.children.enumerate() {
                if let property_name = attr.label as String! {
                    dict[property_name] = attr.value as? AnyObject
                }
            }
            return JSON(dict)
        }
    }
}

So, if you want to get a JSON version of your declared variables and values:
let user1 = User(name: "Bob", age: 52)
print(user1.json)

This will get you:
{
    "age" : 52,
    "name" : "Bob"
}

For getting the String, look at this answer:
user1.json.rawString()!

Cheltenham Returns To Steam
Return to Steam
Published 22nd May 2012
Overhaul completed!
EASTLEIGH - Cheltenham Returns to steam after 30 years after overhaul completed by the Mid Hants Railway at the Knights Rail Services operated Eastleigh Works.
rail.co.uk brings you up to date with the restoration of Southern Railway 4-4-0 Schools Class express passenger locomotive No. 925 Cheltenham.
The engine, designated a 'V' Class was built in 1930 to a design by Maunsell, had not been steamed for over 30 years was returned to steam on 8th May 2012.
Its first public engagement will be at the National Railway Museum's Railfest from June 2nd in York sponsored by Red Spotted Hanky. The engine's last major engagement was at the Rainhill Trials in 1975 celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway.
The restoration of the National Railway Museum owned engine was undertaken by a team led by Chris Smith from The Mid Hants Railway using Knights Rail Services workshops at Eastleigh Works. Progress has been reported on a regular basis during the overhaul on this website
The fire was lit on Monday May 7 and the following day when all was deemed to be in order, the engine was driven under its own power to the limit of the Eastleigh Works confines next to the South West Main Line a short distance from Eastleigh station.
The boiler inspector was undertaking the required examinations in the afternoon in pouring rain on May 9 while the engine was still carrying a green undercoat. It is due to be reliveried by the end of May ready for the Railfest event.
After the event, the engine will be used at The Mid Hants Railway alongside the SR 'Nelson' No. 850 Lord Nelson, also owned by the NRM.

I had to do something today that was difficult.
Our basement is getting refinished and, ideally, the new rooms need to be painted before it can be completely done. My husband is in an extremely busy time at work, traveling a lot, and I'm pregnant: we need some help.
No, this isn't life altering. No, I'm not asking for a kidney or something major.
But we are legitimately in a season where we could use some help. And it wasn't fun to ask for something I feel like I should be able to handle on my own.
I know I'm not alone in this. How often in life do we find it difficult to ask for help?
1. We are too prideful. We don't want to admit our need. Asking for help puts at risk of being rejected.
2. We are so used to our circumstances, pain, emotions, or ways of thinking that we don't realize we even have a need that could be met. We build a tolerance, not realizing that someone could ease our burden, take our burden, or that we don't have to be alone.
The trouble is that a lot of times no one else knows we need help. We're all busy going about our own lives, trying to survive, unaware of needs around us. When it comes down to it, we have to admit our need to ourselves and make a step to invite someone in.
No, it's not that easy. It's a risk to invite someone in to help. It's a risk to admit that we don't have it all together or that we can't handle everything. It's a risk to be that vulnerable. Our own stories of trust and mistrust keep us from opening up to others and/or skew our expectations.
It's important to know whom you can trust and how to find appropriate avenues of care. If it's a difficult family member or friend who has hurt you, they might not be your best bet. We have to identify people to be a part of our "team" as we do life. Some times it means locating a counselor, pastor, or professional who can help you either in the situation or in identifying your "team." This can be a difficult process if you have experienced hurt by others or if the burden/situation/emotions are a major part of your life.
In the end, it's worth the risk. Sure, it's safer to stay protected and not hear rejection or feel our pride raging. However, inviting someone in can be a huge blessing just by being a part of your life and also by easing your burden or pain.
Today I awkwardly asked my friend to help us paint our basement. She enthusiastically agreed to help, leaving me feeling blessed by her willingness and feeling hopeful about the work finally ending on our house. Worth the risk? Yes. Good practice for the bigger trials in life? Definitely. We have to start somewhere.

7 Overlooked Games from 2016
Commentary Opinion September 6, 2016
3 upvotes 507
With only three months of the year remaining, we're about to reach 'silly' season—the time of year when so many AAA titles are released that it's near impossible to keep up with them. For the avid games player, it's an expensive but exciting time. So now is the perfect time to take a look back at some of the solid games released earlier in the year that you may have forgotten about, or never noticed at all.
Released in January, it's no surprise that The Witness seems like an increasingly distant release. Inspired by classic point-and-click adventure game Myst, The Witness has you exploring an open world island of strange structures—both natural and man-made.
Devised by Jonathan Blow, made famous by indie puzzler Braid, it's a game that focuses on non-verbal communication, encouraging players to figure things out from their own observations, as they negotiate various puzzles and mazes.
Available for PC and PS4, with an Xbox One release forthcoming, it's garnered critical acclaim due to its delightful visual style and its difficult but not impossible set of puzzles. Impressively, it boasts 650 puzzles, although not all need to be solved to complete the game. It'll be ideal for those long winter nights.
When you're part of an iconic franchise, you're less likely to be forgotten about. February seems fairly distant, though, right? Street Fighter V also had a somewhat rocky start given it was released without a story mode and with a number of characters missing.
Now is the right time to dive in. With more expansive single-player content available than earlier in the year, and a more stable experience when playing online, Street Fighter V is finally the game it should have been back in February.
It's a little bittersweet, still lacking some of the wow factor of its predecessor, but it's hard to resist the wonder of this classic series.
Will the February release Far Cry Primal win prizes for revolutionary gameplay, or be remembered for decades to come? Probably not, but it's good, mindless fun.
Set in the Stone Age, Far Cry Primal is quite a departure from other Far Cry games, with its focus on survival. Weapons must be crafted, with no sign of guns or vehicles. A day and night cycle affects how difficulty, keeping you on your toes at all times.
If you're up for the challenge, Far Cry Primal is great palate cleanser before the heftier holiday fare is released.
The original Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare went a little under the radar, and that's a similar story for its sequel. Released in February, the game is a blast in every sense of the word.
A third-person shooter like its predecessor, PvZ: GW 2 nonetheless offers more options, including 6 new plant and zombie classes, each with their own set of abilities. There's also more support for solo play. But it really stands out for its split-screen multiplayer (a rarity these days), and plethora of maps for online play.
Thanks to such additions, it's a stronger installment than before, and ideal for young and old to dip into some more lighthearted shooting.
Bravely Second: End Layer
I've talked before about the wonders of Bravely Second, but it bears repeating. It's one of the best JRPGs in years, but it was released in April to, well…not fanfare. It was critically acclaimed, and its sales figures were decent, but not mind blowing. In short: it'd be easy to overlook this one.
Bravely Second is a delightful game that makes JRPGs accessible again (but not necessarily easy). It makes experience grinding—one of the more tedious parts of JRPGs for many—a joy, streamlining the process and speeding things up, while offering an enticing story along the way.
It's an ideal game for chipping away at while you're curled up on the sofa during the winter months.
Valkyria Chronicles Remastered
Valkyria Chronicles is a fantastic turn-based strategy game that rarely gets a break. Originally released in 2008 for the PS3, it suffered from some weak sales figures then, as it did again when a remastered edition was released in May.
It easily deserves more attention. Set in a fictional region of Europe during the early days of World II, Valkyria Chronicles is a tough but rewarding strategy game. One wrong move can make all the difference between success and failure, but that level of tension makes it all the more interesting.
The remastered version includes all the DLC of the original, and looks notably better than before. Available at a budget price, it's the perfect time for strategy fans to pick it up.
Not every game has to be a heavy, story focused experience. Dangerous Golf taps into the fun that can be had from party gaming-style experiences.
Released in May on PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC, Dangerous Gold was a breath of fresh air for those with a destructive urge. From the makers of the Burnout franchise, the game had you destroying furniture and landscapes in a bid for high scores, before tapping the ball into the hole, much like golf.
It isn't perfect-performance is a little sluggish at times-but recent updates have ensured it's a much stronger game now than before. Ultimately, it's great fun. There are plenty of opportunities to chase your friends' high scores, and it's multiplayer offering means you can duke it out in person too.
