Should I be adding new components or have an "Empty" state of the component (Archetypes)?
Discussion in 'Entity Component System and C# Job system' started by frankfringe, Feb 9, 2019.
so I am writing a simulation-like RTS game. The humans in the game have a "Goal" most of the time (walk to the mine, walk to home etc.). At first I thought that I would just have a system that searches for humas without a Goal and if so add a Goal component. I have two questions.
But how do I then add a component in the execute method?
2. Is that the right way to do it? As I understand it with the archetypes, this would result in Entities being copied around between chunks all the time as I add Goals and then remove goals when they are finished and add goals again. Should I instead have an "Empty" state (say goal_id = 0) on my Goal component or something like that?
1) You can use the IJobProcessComponentDataWithEntity interface instead, pass an EntityCommandBuffer to your job use EntityCommandBuffer.AddComponent(entity, new Gloal()) to add the component to that entity once the buffer is played back.
2) "Is this the correct way" questions are pretty hard to answer in the ECS world as there are many access pattern/usage considerations you need to bear in mind to give the best answer. I would say if you are potentially adding/removing thousands of goal components every frame then the entity copies would probably become something you should consider. My guess is that it's more likely that entity goals are going to persist a fair amount of time and so this tagging approach should work out just fine for you.
Remember that if you use EntityCommandBuffer in the job you can't use burst compile.
I also have one more question. In the case I described above (adding new goals to some robots), which really does not happen to often (maybe once every few frames) should I still use a jobbified system or should I just use a normal system and the EntityManager instead maybe? Does using a Jobbified system have any drawbacks?
I think so. You can either inject EndFrameBarrier or inject your own barrier depending on the order you want for "things" to be playback.
Here you can find a good post about how there order of barriers happen.
Still, i would use the "Goal" component in all required entities and change the "goal_id" using burst jobs.
Don't know what are you going to there, but if you do it in IJobProcessData with burst it's extremely fast.


Another hard-working, successful day for the team at the construction site in Haiti. They were able to finish digging the foundation for one of the new houses and began moving rocks into place to be set soon. Ruth had another positive series of counseling sessions during the day, and her husband was able to hand out more gifts to sponsored children. A few of the team members hand another educational day in the lab and pharmacy, while others spent the afternoon organizing and playing games with the kids. This afternoon in the clinic was more stressful than usual, but the medical staff was able to handle the emergencies calmly and professionally.


I've heard it said that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but I don't believe everything I hear. In fact, one woman's trash is another man's treasure, which is how I came to be in possession of the Sacred Branch you see over there on the right. If you want to believe otherwise, that's fine with me; I'm certainly not going to stand here and argue with your dyslexic mind. What's important right now is the branch's multilayered, wooden personality, and how that might affect its position within the system of coordinates we use to find our way home.
Eight years ago I lived in a small mountain town. This isn't remarkable in and of itself, since there wouldn't have been a town if no one else lived there. What's remarkable is that I had been living right next door to the Sacred Branch, which, if you think about it, can only mean that I was predestined. The Sacred Branch was meant for me, and I for it, because otherwise it would have been tossed into the dumpster by my neighbor, who thought it was just a piece of driftwood she'd found on a beach somewhere in Texas.
But it wasn't, and I told her so as I wrestled it out of her grip. Her husband thought I was trying to poke out his wife's eye, and since he had been a Marine during his time in Viet Nam, I decided to leave town. That wasn't as easy as it might sound, because there's always a lot of stuff in the garage after you've lived in a place for years. Fortunately, their son—who happened to be living in their garage—offered to take my refrigerator and most of my furniture, so I was able to get out of there more quickly than I might have otherwise.
We drifted from town to town after that, like tumbleweeds in the desert, or cactus, maybe, or some other kind of thing that drifts. I don't mean driftwood, of course. That wouldn't be very appropriate considering how annoyed I was when my neighbor called the Sacred Branch a piece of driftwood just because she didn't understand the concept of predestination. Predestination is just another way of drawing circles and lines on a map, which is what I was doing when it occurred to me that the Sacred Branch has now returned home, residing on my fireplace a mere .73009 miles from the very dumpster that threatened its career eight years ago.
At the time, the idea of calling this our destination would have been absurd, since we were, you know, just leaving. On the other hand, we were coming back; we just didn't know it yet. Therefore, this was our predestination all along, and anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't taken the time to read between the lines and circles that extend, like half-eaten spaghetti, from one point to the next on every map and napkin along the way.
As my great-uncle Herbst so eloquently put it, home is where the heart is, but you can't cook your oatmeal in a wooden skillet.
That's what I keep telling people!!!
Sorry for the comment-publishing delay. Router problems, I think. Still shaky, but working for now.
But yeah, that's all you can do, really. You tell 'em, they roll their eyes, you tell 'em again, they roll their eyes, you buy 'em books, they . . . well, you know.

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA)
Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 helps to ensure that agencies put in place sufficient protections for the privacy of personal information in implementing a citizen-centered electronic government. It requires agencies to conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) for information technology (IT) systems or projects that collect, maintain or disseminate information in identifiable form from or about members of the public or when initiating a new electronic collection of information in identifiable form for 10 or more persons (excluding agencies, instrumentalities, or employees of the federal government).
Among other things, the PIA process requires agencies to review what information is collected, why the information is collected, how the information will be used by the agency, with whom the information will be shared, and how the information is handled and secured when using IT to collect new information or when developing or buying new IT systems to handle collections of personally identifiable information. PIAs conducted for " major information systems," as defined in OMB Circular A-130 (Section 6.u.) and OMB Circular A-11 (section 300-4 (2003)), reflect more extensive analysis of the consequences of collection and flow of information, the alternatives to the collection and handling as designed, the appropriate measures to reduce risks identified for each alternative, and the rationale for the final design choice or business process.
In general, agencies are required to make PIAs publicly available through publication in the Federal Register or through posting on agency websites.
The objectives of a PIA include:
Provide a tool to make informed policy and system design or procurement decisions based on an understanding of privacy risks and options available for mitigating these risks.
Ensure that system and program managers are accountable for the proper handling of privacy issues.
Establish a consistent format and structured process for analyzing both technical and legal compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations, as well as accepted privacy policy.
Provide basic documentation on the flow of personal information within systems for use and review by policy, program, and management staff; systems analysts; and security specialists.
Provide the public with assurances that their personal information is protected.
Privacy Impact Assessments
The following are official Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) of significant initiatives at the U.S. Department of Education (listed by Principal Office).
NOTE: if a PIA below indicates that it is "certified as valid," that means that, during a required review of the PIA, the system owner determined that the initial PIA was still accurate and valid, and did not need to be updated.

Lot's of news on the tech front this week, not the least of which being Google rolling out two new tags. I wonder what kind of effect these will have with scrapers. Lets say you include the tag somewhere in a post, and some one scrapes it. Normally a scrapper won't take header data, will it? So basically this is great for allowing people who already are crediting you, but not much else.
Anyhow, beyond the attribution tags we've got the basics of CS3 transitions, Google Instant Preview counting as pageviews, and whether "I think" or "I feel" persuades people more.
Google has implemented two new tags, targeted at integration with Google news. The first is Syndication-source which indicated the preferred URL for a syndicated article, allowing syndicators to denote which is an original source. The second, original-source, points to the source that first broke the story. The two might seem similar to me.
Adage (and it's retarded pay wall) have a story on Youtube's new pre-roll ads. Google plans to implement a "skip ad" feature for Youtube videos. Following in the "adwords" style skipped ads will be be charged to advertisers.
The Chromium blog has posted on conglomerating web app permission prompts. A nice usability touch, though there's something I like about my web browser telling me each thing that an app is going to do to my system.
A List Apart has a guide to those wacky CSS3 transitions that you keep hearing about, but have no idea how to use. The basics are surprisingly easy, though I agree with the author that they seem like they'd make more sense applied to the :hover or :focus state than on the base element.
Linda over at GetElastic has a list of 6 common ecommerce problems that can be solved with Google Analytics. These include missing transactions, inflated e-commerce revenue, and more.
People at the Google Analytics forum are reporting that the new Google Instant Previews (that happen when you hover over a result in Google) are being counted as Page views in GA. This actually makes sense (as they are viewing your content) but may confuse some people.
More from Get Elastic, this time on applying consumer research and personas to your campaigns.
Psyblog is back with whether "I think" or "I feel" is more persuasive. The results are somewhat predictable: it depends on what the person being persuaded uses. If they use more cognitive language, think did better. More emotive language, feel did better. To be honest, I'm not sure if these people have taken into account that people are much more likely to be persuaded if they "feel" (or is that "think"?) that the person persuading them is like them.

Family Guy / Simpsons crossover preview
Home » ENTERTAINMENT » ANIMATION » Family Guy / Simpsons crossover preview
The Griffins move in with the Simpsons in the Family Guy season premiere "The Simpsons Guy."
The hour-long special has a proportional amount of clips promoting the epic event. One clip shows even more cameos by the Animation Domination line-up including Bob's Burgers and The Cleveland Show. Now if we can just get some American Dad, which was cancelled by Fox.
When an unidentified thief drives off with the Griffins' car, the family wanders into Springfield cue the Simpsons theme song, which is abbreviated to just the opening scene. However, given magnitude of this episode it's not unrealizable to expect a modified Family Guy opening, perhaps even a Family Guy couch gag?
Don't expect the Griffins to stick around. They insist their visit to Springfield is a one-time event and they are eager to leave the town and its peculiar people.
"Don't drink the water," Peter (Seth MacFarlane) warns his family. "Everyone around here looks like they have hepatitis."
It'll be interesting to see if they make references to other idiosyncrasies regarding the animation style such as the lack of a hairline for Bart and Lisa. And vice versa. In fact, the Simpsons do acknowledge the talking baby where as Brian is treated a dog!
Peter tries to report the crime to the police but Chief Wiggum (Hank Azaria) presumably isn't much help because he has to take matters into his own hands. Fortunately, his new BFF Homer (Dan Castellaneta) is dumb enough to go along with his schemes.
Simpsons fans are in for a shock if they think the nuclear family will rub off on the Griffins, though there will be a lot of rubbing. Homer and Peter grind on each other in a sexy car wash to lure the thief. The men literally top themselves when they pump their rears full of gas in order to think like a car. A seedy adult video store sells their sex act on a DVD titled Gassensexen. Simpsons creator Matt Groening seems to have give Seth MacFarlane free rein for better or worse.
Family Guy season 13 premieres Sunday at 9PM on Fox.

Various events are being held throughout the country ahead of the 25th anniversary of independence. Thus, in Shymkent, the students built a huge '25'. The flash mob brought together over 200 activists at the State Institute's stadium.
The 25th Independence anniversary is a great event. Students could not stay away and organized a flash mob. So many students participated in it to show that we love our country and proud of it.
Kyzylorda residents decided to do the same as what Shymkent students did. Hundreds of college students wearing the same outfit built number '25' symbolizing Kazakhstan's historical date and performed patriotic songs. Flash mob participants say that sovereignty is priceless treasure thanks to which the young generation is confident in their future.
The main purpose is to bring up the sense of patriotism. I believe that today's flash mob will contribute to unity in society as well as the formation of social activism among young people.
Petropavlovsk policemen built number 25 with police cars. 80 young policemen took part in this flash mob. All of them were born in the year when Kazakhstan gained independence. Then the law enforcement officers released sky-blue and yellow balloons into the sky, in the colors of Kazakhstan's flag.
I am proud to be born the year when Kazakhstan gained independence. The most important achievement in our country is peace. I promise that the young policemen will stand in defense of the rule of law in our region. North Kazakhstan residents can sleep with a peaceful mind.
Over 70 people took part in the campaign in Atyrau. The performance included patriotic songs and dances. According to organizers, this initiative should encourage young generation to become qualified specialists and work for the benefit of Motherland.
I am very happy and proud that I am a citizen of the Independent Kazakhstan. We, the representatives of the younger generation, will make our contribution to the development of our country, by our academic achievements now and later after graduation we will use the acquired knowledge in practice. I congratulate everyone on this holiday!

The Senate health committee today held the first hearing this year, and the third in a series on the opioid crisis, with author Sam Quinones, who has extensively researched and written about the crisis.
On October 5, the committee held the first hearing of the series which focused on the federal response to the opioid crisis, and on November 30, the committee heard from witnesses representing states, communities and providers on what they are doing and what, if any, new authorities they need from the federal government to fight the crisis.
In December, Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Patty Murray (D-Wash.) sent a letter to every governor and state insurance commissioner in the nation asking how the federal government can be the best partner for states on the front lines of the opioid crisis.

Additional question:
There are some different ways to store this kind of data to HDF5.

*

*Don't change the DataFrame and save it with df.to_hdf() to differt
groups named by date.

*Split the different stocks to series and build the table by Name or better by 'Code' with the attribute 'Name'

*Append an multiindex DataFrame in only one group.

I guess the third solution would be the fastest and most flexible in case of data acessing and analyzing. But with the secound solution it seems to be easier to add new information like fundamentals to each company. Is there a better compromise that I don't know yet?
The main problem (third way):
I use this code to append the hierachial dataframe on every new day:
df = pd.concat(lod, ignore_index=True)

# remove not useful dataj
df = df.drop(['Change.1', 'Change.2', 'Unnamed: 9'], axis=1)
df = df.dropna()

# append a Date column
df['Date'] = dt.datetime.today().date() - dt.timedelta(days=1)

# create multiindex
df = df.set_index(['Date', 'Code', 'Name'])

# append the data to hdf5 container
df.to_hdf(wkd + 'Database.h5', key='stocks', mode='a', format='table')

The table is replaced instead of expanded. What is wrong?

A: The answer to my main problem was quite simple:
Fond it here:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/4584
Just add 'append = True'
df.to_hdf(wkd + 'Database.h5', key='stocks', mode='a', format='table', append = True)

Edit:
My current answer to the additional question would be:
I think it's ok to use the third way because it's easy to query the multiindex dataframe with the pandas HDFStore object on disc:
store.select('stocks', "Code=BMWYY")

To add new data like comany fundamentals i just add a new table object to the HDF file. Then i query both tables and do further analysis with pandas.

KARMA: Racist Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr begs for help as coronavirus hits him hard
Ethel nleya
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA – FEBRUARY 20: Steve Hofmeyr performs at the Manna vir die Boere concert on February 20, 2016 at Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, South Africa. The concert was held in support of the farmers who have been severely affected by the drought. (Photo by Gallo Images / Rapport / Deon Raath)
At the best of times, controversial Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr insults, demeans and spews racist venom against the government. As the onset of Covid-19 hits his pockets, the Afrikaner supremacist has crawled to the Department of Arts, Sports and Culture with a bowl begging for help.
Hofmeyr seeks to benefit from a portion of the R150-million relief fund for artists and athletes who have lost business due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Hofmeyr, a promoter of white supremacy and defender of apartheid, submitted the application for funding after Arts, Sports and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa invited affected artists to apply for financial relief from his department.
The department has received over 6 000 applications and among them was Hofmeyr, whose public utterances were not only wildly criticised as racist, but also as flagrant undermining of the legitimacy of the current government.
The musician nailed his colours to the mast when he announced in an Instagram post in May last year that the old apartheid flag defined him.
"My life has many flags as I enjoy symbols, heritage and history. These four, through good and bad define me. But the moment you ban one, it acquires value. So don't," he said.
In July last year, Hofmeyr was found guilty of harassing activist Johan Pienaar by the Stellenbosch magistrate's court.
Pienaar had laid down the orange, white, blue flag on a pavement in Stellenbosch with the names of some of the most prominent apartheid architects and the word "enablers" written on it.
The activist hauled the musician to court after Hofmeyr tweeted he would offer a reward of R1 500 to anyone who removed the flag from the pavement.
After the tweet, the flag was taken and Hofmeyr later acknowledged receipt of the flag in a Twitter post.
In 2011, Hofmeyr used the "k" word in a song composed in honour of AWB leader Eugene Terre'blanche, who was murdered on his farm by his workers in 2010.
This was after Julius Malema, who was then president of the ANC Youth League, was involved in a legal battle with Afriforum over his singing of the song Shoot the Boer.
Hofmeyr immediately released the lyrics of the song We will survive on his Facebook page.
"If Julius Malema is allowed to sing Shoot the Boer in public, we too will sing songs that have k ***** ," he said.
In June last year, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe reported him for crimen injuria and incitement at the Johannesburg Central police station after Hofmeyr tweeted the following: "Dear @zilevandamme and @Zindzimandela I'm a South African tax-paying citizen. Effectively, I AM your boss. You WILL jump when I say so and you WILL ask how high. And when you come to take our lives & land, you WILL die. Our contract is that simple. And don't you forget it."
Last year, Hofmeyr pulled out of the Afrikaans is Groot concert after several concert sponsors, including Toyota and MTN, withdrew their sponsorships in protest of his inclusion in the show.
Multichoice followed suit and said it would remove his music from its channels.
Artist manager Brian Mokoena said that it would be a serious indictment on the department if it granted Hofmeyr money.
"This man's craft is about preserving and promoting white supremacy, so giving him money will be like funding his racist agenda beliefs. This is taxpayers' money and the majority of taxpayers in this country are black people whom he sees from his racially tainted glasses as k-rs," he said.
Arts and Culture spokesperson Masechaba Ndlovu said Hofmeyr would not receive the funds because he submitted his application on April 8, two days after the deadline.
"He submitted his application on morning of the 8th. Regret notifications were sent out later that day. The closing date was April 6," she said.
But Hofmeyr dismissed as untrue Ndlovu's claims that he submitted his application after the cut-off date. "I submitted my application just after the lockdown. I have not even received the notification she is talking about. I'm hoping to get something," he said.
Giving him money will be like funding his racist agenda beliefs

As the Senate debates the health-care bill, Joe Lieberman is relishing his role as roadblock. Peter Beinart on how one of the most unpredictable senators became just another right-wing pol.
Once upon a time, Joe Lieberman was interesting—not always correct, in my view, but interesting. He was interesting because he thought for himself. On most issues, most senators line up pretty automatically with their party. A few others, the moderates—often Southern or prairie Democrats or Northeastern Republicans—split the difference: If Democrats want to spend $1 billion on some domestic program, and Republicans want to spend nothing, they furrow their brows, beat their breasts and then propose spending $500 million. The moderates generally annoy party activists and impress Washington pundits who view moderation as good in and of itself. But they're just as conventional as the liberals and conservatives. It's no more interesting to be predictably purple than it is to be predictably red or blue.
It's not just that Lieberman's arguments make no sense. They show that he's morphing from an iconoclast into just another right-wing pol.
That's why Lieberman stood out. On domestic issues, he was fairly liberal: supporting abortion rights, a larger social safety net and environmental protection. On foreign policy, he was a fervent hawk. He didn't split the difference between left and right: He idiosyncratically mixed and matched. He hewed to an older ideological tradition—both pro-welfare and pro-warfare—that flourished in the industrial north before Vietnam. That's what made Lieberman interesting. And that's why his declaration last week that he would filibuster a "public option" on health-care reform is so depressing. It's not just that his arguments make no sense. They show that he's morphing from an iconoclast into just another right-wing pol.
In the 1960s and 1970s, interesting senators weren't quite so rare. On the one hand, you had liberal hawks like Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey and Washington state's Henry "Scoop" Jackson. They embodied the worldview of the Cold War labor movement: pro-guns and pro-butter, all at the same time. On the other hand, you had conservative doves from the South like Arkansas' William Fulbright: men with lousy civil-rights records and no love of government spending, but deep hostility to American military intervention in the third world. Today, a right-wing anti-imperialist like Fulbright would be politically incomprehensible. But Fulbright's politics were just as coherent as Humphrey and Jackson's: He embodied an older conservative tradition, rooted in the South, which distrusted grand, government-led efforts at social reform, whether at home or abroad.
Scientists say that America once had lots of quirky, regional species of apples. Now we have a few, homogenized types. The same thing has happened to American politics. We've smoothed out the jagged edges. There are liberals and there are conservatives, and there are difference-splitting moderates, and if you know someone's position on abortion, you can probably predict their position on Afghanistan. Put Scoop Jackson alongside William Fulbright on a cable talk show today and it would be like they were speaking Greek.
There are still a few interesting members of Congress around. Pennsylvania's Robert Casey, for instance, sees the world the way the Catholic hierarchy does: He's pro-welfare state, but passionately antiabortion. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, by contrast, sees the world the way Calvin Coolidge did: He wants to radically downsize the federal government—not just the domestic parts, but the military, too.
• Peter Beinart: Half a Victory• McCain talks about Lieberman's vote• Max Blumenthal: The Senator Who'll Kill the Stupak AmendmentBut Lieberman was the most prominent iconoclast, at least up until now. For close to a decade, he got nearly perfect scores from the American Public Health Association, which backs a single-payer health-care system, and in lieu of that, the "public option." Now, all of a sudden, he's so outraged by a public option that he's threatening to filibuster any bill that contains it. The arguments he makes on behalf of his new position are remarkably weak: He says the public option will raise costs, even though the Congressional Budget Office has said no such thing, and even though logic suggests that by competing with private insurers, a government plan will actually drive costs down. Some have accused Lieberman of shifting right in order to win backing from the insurance industry in preparation for a 2012 reelection run. But, in fact, he gets relatively little insurance money, and Connecticut politicos mostly think he won't run.
So why is he doing this? Because he's bitter. According to former staffers and associates, he was upset by his dismal showing in the 2004 Democratic presidential primary. And he was enraged by the tepid support he got from many party leaders in 2006, when he lost the Democratic primary to an anti-war activist and won reelection as an independent. Gradually, this personal alienation has eaten away at his liberal domestic views. His staff has grown markedly more conservative in recent years, and his closest friends in Congress are now Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham. For Lieberman, the personal has become political, and it has pushed him further to the right.
The irony is that when Lieberman was officially a Democrat, he was ideologically independent—a living manifestation of the Humphrey-Jackson tradition. Now that he's technically an independent, he's becoming a standard-issue conservative. For people who believe—as Lieberman himself once did—in progressive health-care reform, it's a tragic shift. It's also boring. Another interesting senator bites the dust.

A ketogenic diet is a nutritional system that is becoming more and more popular. It involves extremely high fat intake, with a minimal supply of carbohydrates and proteins. For many years, fats were considered to be the evil of the world, and both physicians and dieticians warned against its excessive consumption. However, scientific progress and the re-interpretation of the available studies shed a new light on this issue and radically changes the view on fats.
Many people after entering the ketosis observe numerous benefits, both related to a health condition, as well as physical and mental well-being.

LOS ANGELES — High school students left class by the thousands today, carrying their signs and their chanting voices into the streets of several U.S. cities six days after Donald Trump's election.
They walked out in California, Colorado, Maryland and other states, many declaring concerns over the president-elect's comments about minorities and the effect he will have on their communities.
More than a thousand students from several schools on Los Angeles' heavily Hispanic east side marched out of classes.
The demonstrations began at Garfield High School, the subject of the 1988 film "Stand and Deliver" focusing on teacher Jaime Escalante's successful college-level math programs.
Some carried signs that read "Deport Trump," while others waved the U.S., Mexican and gay pride flags. Many said they have relatives and friends in the country illegally who they fear will be deported.
Brian Rodriguez, 16, was born in the U.S. to parents from Mexico and Guatemala. He said he was offended by Trump's criticism of Latinos.
Rodriguez said his school's principal opened the gates and told students they could participate.
Nancy Meza, a community organizer who announced the walkout, said she helped students organize after they reached out to her.
Hundreds of students from a dozen high schools in Oakland skipped classes to demonstrate.
They called on California cities to remain sanctuaries for people in the country illegally, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee vowed today to maintain that status.
Administrators hope students will return to class quickly, but they did not ask them to stop protesting, Oakland Unified School District spokesman John Sasaki said. "We support our students' First Amendment rights," he said.
Police and school officials escorted the students along city streets to ensure their safety.
Noelie Quintero, 17, said they represented Latinos, Muslims, women and others marginalized by Trump.
In a city that has seen large and destructive protests, a few hundred students from several schools walked out of class to gather in the rain near City Hall.
The group held signs saying "Students for change" and "Love trumps hate." They marched across a bridge, some of them climbing up it, while officers stopped traffic.
It was peaceful, following smashed windows and other vandalism at recent rallies. Daily demonstrations have led to $1 million in damage and more than 100 arrests.
A protest organizer says activists were contacting counterparts in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and other cities in an effort to stop Trump from prevailing on his issues.
"Trump is going to be president, so we need to prepare for that," said Greg McKelvey of the group Portland's Resistance.
McKelvey said they want to ensure local governments fight racial disparities in policing and help address global warming.
Thousands of students across Seattle chanted as they marched in the streets and waved "Not My President" or "Love Wins" signs.
Seattle Public Schools spokesman Luke Duecy reported more than 5,000 students from 20 middle and high schools walked out of classes today.
Some said they oppose Trump's divisive rhetoric and wanted to show support for those he targeted, such as Muslims or immigrants. Others say they came to support their friends or simply to observe.
High school senior Rose Taylor, who is bisexual, says she worries about what Trump's election will mean for the LGBT community and others.
Hundreds of high school students left campus and took to the streets to declare their opposition to Trump, while hundreds more gathered for a rally at a school football stadium.
About 800 Montgomery Blair High School students attended the rally at the stadium, and most returned to class afterward, Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Gboyinde Onijala said.
Police Capt. Paul Starks says the protesters were peaceful except for one bottle-throwing incident. No one was hurt.


The following table shows the general and small business corporate income tax rates federally and for each province and territory for 2017. The small business rates are the applicable rates after deducting the small business deduction (SBD), which is available to Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs). The small business rate is available on active business income up to the amount of the Business Limit. The federal business limit of $500,000 begins to be reduced when a CCPC's taxable capital reaches $10 million, and is eliminated when taxable capital reaches $15 million. This phase-out of the small business deduction is also in effect in some provinces.
(3) On October 16, 2017, the Department of Finance announced that the small business tax rate would be reduced to 10% effective January 1, 2018 , and to 9% effective January 1, 2019. The news release backgrounder indicated that the dividend tax credit rate for non-eligible dividends would be adjusted to reflect the reduced corporate tax rate, but did not indicate what the rate would be. On October 24, 2017, in conjunction with their Fall Economic Statement, the Department of Finance tabled a Notice of Ways and Means Motion to reduce the gross-up rate for non-eligible dividends to 16% in 2018, and 15% thereafter, with the non-eligible dividend tax credit revised to 8/11ths of the gross-up for 2018 and to 9/13ths of the gross-up for 2019 and later years.
The Federal 2015 Budget announced that the Small Business Tax Rate and the non-eligible dividend tax credit would be revised starting in 2016. However, the Federal 2016 Budget changed this, to leave the small business tax rate, non-eligible dividend gross-up and non-eligible dividend tax credit rate at 2016 levels.
(4) Alberta's 2016 Budget indicates that the small business corporate tax rate is reduced from 3% to 2% effective January 1, 2017.
(5) Manitoba announced that their business limit would be increased to $500,000 from $450,000 in 2017, as per their December 1, 2015 news release. However, there was a change in government in 2016, and the 2017 Budget indicated that the increase would not happen.
(6) The BC September 2017 Budget Update lowered the small business corporate tax rate from 2.5% to 2.0% effective April 1, 2017. However, the general corporate income tax rate will increase to 12%, effective January 1, 2018.
(7) The Saskatchewan 2017 Budget announced that the general corporate income tax rate would be reduced to 11.5% on July 1, 2017, and to 11.0% on July 1, 2019. Subsequently, on November 7, 2017 they passed Bill 84 (pdf), which sets the general corporate income tax rate at 12% effective January 1, 2018, increases the small business threshold from $500,000 to $600,000 effective January 1, 2018, and sets the enhanced dividend tax credit rate at 11%. There is no change to the small business corporate income tax rate.
(8) The Nova Scotia 2017 Budget announced that the threshold for the small business deduction would be increased from $350,000 to $500,000 effective January 1, 2017. Nova Scotia provides a corporate tax holiday under s. 42 of their Income Tax Act for the first 3 taxation years of a new small business after incorporation. See New Small Business Tax Deduction on the Nova Scotia website.
(9) The Yukon 2017 Budget announced that the general and small business corporate income tax rates would be reduced effective July 1, 2017.
(10) According to Quebec's Corporate Income Tax Changes page, the general tax rate will be reduced each year by 0.1% until 2020. Thus, it will be 11.7% in 2018, 11.6% in 2019 and 11.5% in 2020.
(11) Ontario's Fall Economic Statement indicated that the small business corporate income tax rate will be reduced to 3.5% effective January 1, 2018.

In my line of work I find that most people think one thing of SPF: the higher the better. But that is only half true. It does not mean more effective protection instead it refers to longer protection. When we really understand what "SPF" stands for and how it is determined, we can decide which situations make higher sun protection factors better and which ones actually do not require them to be high. I'm a stickler for people really knowing how their skincare functions so, here is a short video about what SPF is and how its calculated for your viewing pleasure.

Michigan 500 var en amerikansk racingtävling i CART och, under annat namn, även i IndyCar på Michigan International Speedway.

Historik
Tävlingen startade 1968, och blev ett 500 mile-race 1981, efter att Ontario Speedway lagts ned. Banan hade länge två tävlingar, men från och med 1986 kördes enbart 500 mile-racet varje år i juli. Loppet sponsrades sedan av Marlboro och var under många år känt som Marlboro 500.

1996 gjordes ett misslyckat försök att konkurrera med Indianapolis 500 efter att CART och IndyCar blivit två olika serier. Loppet lockade fortsatt många åskådare, men kunde inte konkurrera ut Indy 500, trots de mindre namnkunniga startfälten på Indy. Efter en tragisk incident 1998, då delar från Adrián Fernández bil dödade tre åskådare, försvann många av banans sponsorer, och efter säsongen 2001 utgick tävlingen ur CART. Senare kördes under ett 400 mile-race i IndyCar under sex år, men loppet ströks efter säsongen 2007.

Happy day after Thanksgiving! My was small and cozy and delicious. And after a day and a half of running around, I am officially spending today on the couch.
Read it. I read the graphic novel Ethel & Ernest, a moving story written by Raymond Briggs (author/illustrator of The Snowman) about his parents' marriage during post World War II England. If it doesn't break your heart I don't know what will.
See it. This week my brother introduced me to AMC's The Walking Dead, which I enjoyed far more than I thought I would like a zombie t.v. show.
Hear it. Ready for the holidays? She & Him's Christmas album will put you in the mood.

Steve Pavlina has written another of his comprehensive articles (7000+ words) on the topic of making money from a blog. It's filled with loads of advice from his own experience of his last 19 months of blogging in which he's built his own blog's income to a level of $200 per day from a variety of streams.
Thanks to the numerous people who sent me this link including Andy.
Wow, it is a big and long thing with numerous references to previous articles. I've just finished reading it.
What's interesting for me is that Steve Pavlina's aproaches to monetize a blog are often quite different or opposite to approaches presented by Problogger. Well, I read both blogs!
One of the thing that Steve said, and Darren has also said, is to write about something you love. I think this should be expanded to: write about something you're passionate about.
What are those difference ? I'm interested to know about that.
I'm just hit the $100+/day mark (not quite there, but getting there).
But it's not from Adsense (though I get a little extra from there) and it's not affiliates (thought I get a little extra from there as well), but from the clients who hire me based on my personality, expertise, camraderie, and honesty on my blog.
Dude, does that make me a FOUR FIGURE BLOGGER or does it only count if it's totally passive income that I make from Adsense/advertising and affiliate programs as opposed to the active income that I make teaching in real life?
AP – if you're making $100 a day you're a five figure blogger :-) $36500 a year!
As I've said here before – there are many ways to make money from a blog and to make it in indirect ways as a result of your blogging rather than from ads or affiliat programs is just as valid in my books as any other more direct method.
Cool, that just made my day. Anyways, thanks D for a great blog. Ever since I got serious about blogging and doing it daily, I've always checked out your site for great ideas and stories.
Heck of an article! Thought it would be more of the same info but it actually helped.
Very informative article on how to make money blogging.
Wow, the article is really very long. It takes me more than 1 hours to read a follow the links suggested. I'm tired now.
