Rio Grande Valley MMA Fighter, Ricky Palacios, Believes in Making the Impossible Possible
[Ricky Palacios – image courtesy of townnews.com]
Ricky "El Gallero" Palacios loves to fight, not because he likes to hurt people, but because he wants to share his unique talent with the world. He's worked extremely hard to build a solid fight record, he owns his own gym, has a large Valley fan base, and continues to push his way to the top. His amateur record stands at 6-0 and he concluded his amateur career after obtaining two titles. In his pro debut he won his fight by TKO stoppage putting him at an uptick of 1-0. His next opponent, Loroy Martinez, comes into this fight off of a decision loss but won his pro debut by TKO as well. Ricky intends on making a name for himself, not just in The Valley, but whenever he steps into the cage, ring, or mat… Enjoy the interview!
Tell us about what led you down the martial arts path and why you fight?
What led me to mixed martial arts was mainly my weight. I was close to 200 lbs, which is very large for my stature. I was determined to lose weight. I started out getting into street fights so I set a goal to lose weight and get a legit fight in the cage. It was part of my bucket list to get in there and after I fought and won my first fight, I made it a goal to become a champion!
What would you like to accomplish in your MMA career?
To be honest everyone wants to be a world champion but to me I see it as a goal like everyone else. The main thing is that I've done it so later in life when I'm older I won't be haunted with the question, "What if?" or "I should have?" knowing that I tried something I wanted is an accomplishment in itself and not too many people get to do what they dream of doing. With that being said, I would like to give others the opportunity to do what they dream of. I've been blessed to be where I am at and with my own gym "El Galleros Den" now I can help others make their dreams come true. That's what I'd love to accomplish!
As a pro MMA fighter and boxer, what else would you like to compete in? Which discipline are you most passionate about?
I've been working to be an all around fighter. I've been thinking about trying out kickboxing or Muay Thai just to see where I stand. I fell in love with boxing and I think I'm good at it. I'm not afraid to try other martial arts and compete. All I need need to do, or anyone for that matter, is to set a goal and have a positive mind set, and never give up.
What advise would you give to someone who's currently struggling with obesity but wants to make a change like you did?
Now that's a great question that I love to answering! I was close to 200lbs and now I walk around 148 lbs. I set a goal to lose 15 pounds but the main thing is your mind set and how dedicated you are to accomplishing that goal. I had no one to push me and I didn't know anything about a diet or fat burning. I did everything naturally just worked out and the willingness to do it. No one was going to stop me no matter what! I set high expectations for myself even when it seemed impossible. I made it possible and that's how it should be.
My inspiration is my spouse and children, They give me the drive to succeed. They have been my back bone since day one. I had a lot of financial problems when I first started training and they have always stuck with me. I was never alone when it came to motivation before or after a fight. Like I said, "make the impossible possible." We use to sell chicken plates for gas money just to get to the northern cities in order to fight. The we'd come back broke again. The promoters didn't really care if I was broke or not, they just wanted me to make a fight happen.
Tell us about your upcoming fight and your training regimen going into it.
My upcoming fight is against Leroy Martinez. My training is going great and I feel like I've got all the tools to come out victorious March 16! I see every fight as a championship fight and I never think I'm the best or that I'm going to walk through anyone. It's a fight – anything can happen.
Your opponent Leroy, is there bad blood?
I really don't take anything personal but I feel like he talks too much. I don't know, maybe that's how he pumps himself up but I could care less. I just see it like any other fight. He has said some stuff that shouldn't have been said. Ido feel like he needs to work extremely hard to beat me. He says that he wants to knock me out or break my arm or something like that. I really don't care. All I know is that he has a good training camp and I'm pumped because he should be at his best with no excuses. It should be a very entertaining fight. He may want to make it a jiu-jitsu match but I hope he worked on his stand up cuz I'm coming at him hard!
Anyone you'd like to thank, any shout outs?
I would like to thank GOD for my blessing with him anything is possible. My big brother Jeff Bonugli, my family, LX BJJ, Green Ghost Academy, all my sparring partners, Vitamin Shack and shake, H&B fitness, Charlie Clark Nissan, Phatboy racing, and all my sponsors, and fans. – Ricky Palacios – El Galleros Den
El Gallero's Highlight Reel

"The Pride of The Valley" Coming to Pharr Events Center March 16th
At 6'3, 205 pounds, 29 year old Aaron Rosa is in his prime. Fighting out of Rodrigo Pinheiro's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Rosa has the benefit of working on his ground game with one of the best jiu jitsu practitioners in the world. Here Rosa can also count on excellent sparring partners, one of them being Muay Thai specialist, Pete Spratt.
At the very beginning of his professional mixed martial arts career, Rosa racked up ten straight wins, fighting for various promotions. He is currently 17-5 and is a veteran of UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, and EliteXC. His wins include six KO's, four submissions, and seven by decision.
Rosa will be facing Tony Melton in the premier fight for the "Orgullo del Valle" MMA event in Pharr, Texas on March 16. The 31 year old Melton is currently 7-3. Six of those wins came by KO, and one by decision. While Melton appears to be the underdog in this event, Rosa is experienced enough to know that Melton, with at least a thirty pound weight advantage, and six KO's under his belt can be dangerous.
Immediately before the main event, Cody "Wolverine" Williams, 4-4, fighting out of the Texas Karate Academy in Beaumont, Texas will meet the Valley's (McAllen) Randy "the Hurricane" Fuentes, who is currently 5-3. Fuentes has been augmenting his training by throwing his hat into the boxing ring, where he won his first pro fight by unanimous decision in the Valley's "Border Brawl" in September of 2011, and at this date is 4-0 as a professional boxer.
Although not a main event fight, the grudge match between Ricardo "El Gallero" Palacios and Leroy "Guapo" Martinez, promises to be a scorcher. Palacios and Martinez own schools separated by only a few miles in Mission, and each has a substantial following. In the weeks leading up to March 16, there have been insults and substantial "smack" talk traded between the two camps. If there is a war in the offing, we can expect it between these two fighters. Seven prelim matches will come prior to those listed above, with plenty of action promised.
After 8 shows put on by JC Productions over a two year period, promoter Jeff Bonugli, with the support of Valley Nissan dealer Charlie Clark, will be signing 5 fighters onto contracts worth $50,000. Yes sir, the fight game is coming to the Rio Grande Valley in a very big way.

HBS Working Paper Series
Entrepreneurs, Firms and Global Wealth since 1850
By: G. Jones
| Pages:73
This working paper integrates the role of entrepreneurship and firms into debates on why Asia, Latin America and Africa were slow to catch up with the West following the Industrial Revolution and the advent of modern economic growth. It argues that the currently dominant explanations, which focus on deficient institutions, poor human capital development, geography and culture are important, but not sufficient. This is partly because recent research in business history has shown that several of the arguments are not empirically proved, but especially because the impact of these factors on the creation and performance of innovative business enterprises is not clearly specified. Modern economic growth diffused from its origins in the North Sea region to elsewhere in western and northern Europe, across the Atlantic, and later to Japan, but struggled to get traction elsewhere. The societal and cultural embeddedness of the new technologies posed significant entrepreneurial challenges. The best equipped to overcome these challenges were often entrepreneurs based in minorities who held significant advantages in capital-raising and trust levels. By the interwar years productive modern business enterprise was emerging across the non-Western world. Often local and Western managerial practices were combined to produce hybrid forms of business enterprise. After 1945 many governmental policies designed to facilitate catch-up ended up crippling these emergent business enterprises without putting effective alternatives in place. The second global economy has provided more opportunities for catch up from the Rest, and has seen the rapid growth of globally competitive businesses in Asia, Latin America and Africa. This is explained not only by institutional reforms, but by new ways for business in the Rest to access knowledge and capital, including returning diaspora, business schools and management consultancies. Smarter state capitalism was also a greater source of international competitive advantage than the state intervention often seen in the past.

Three cheap and interesting aircraft leasing funds
By: Cris Sholto Heaton 27/07/2018
Hi Fly shows off its A380: an important development for investors
Aircraft-leasing funds were hit by fears over their planes' resale value. Now, the funds look cheap.
There was one small piece of good news for the Airbus A380 on display at the Farnborough Air Show last week. While Airbus netted no new orders for its struggling superjumbo, Hi Fly – a Portuguese charter airline – showed off the latest addition to its fleet: an A380 previously used by Singapore Airlines. If you're invested in any of the Doric Nimrod funds, that's an important development.
These three closed-end funds own a fleet of A380s leased to Emirates, the flag carrier for Dubai. Doric Nimrod Air One (LSE: DNA) owns a single A380, with a lease that expires in 2022; Doric Nimrod Air Two (LSE: DNA2) owns seven A380s, with leases expiring 2023-2024; and Doric Nimrod Air Three (LSE: DNA3) has four A380s, expiring 2025. These aircraft are leased at a fixed rate for a fixed term, with the airline having all responsibility for costs, including insurance. At the end of the term, the plan is to sell the planes, wind up the fund and return the proceeds to investors (although they might get the option to vote on leasing the planes out again).
Lease payments are set partly in US dollars (which pays the interest and principal on the debt used to part-fund the aircraft purchase), with the rest in sterling to pay dividends. So the amount of income the funds will pay is already known. At current prices, this gives a running yield of around 8.7% for DNA, 8.6% for DNA2 and 8.2% for DNA3, paid quarterly. The income risk, of course, is that Emirates defaults on the lease, which is unlikely, but can never be ruled out.
Waiting for a market
The real uncertainty lies in the resale value of the aircraft at the end of the lease. The funds provide an estimate of the value of their assets, updated each March, and the latest reported fleet values per share are 178p, 344p and 167p respectively. Given share prices of 103p, 210p and 101p, that looks a healthy discount. However, those estimates are highly uncertain because there is no used market for A380s yet and hence there is no benchmark for valuations.
Dr Peters, a German asset manager that owns the first two A380s to return from lease (also both with Singapore Airlines), struggled to re-lease the planes and has now announced that it plans to dismantle them to sell for parts. Events like this, combined with the fact that Emirates failed to place an order for more A380s at the Dubai Air Show in November, have stoked fears about the plane's future and led to weakness in the funds' share price over the past year.
However, the Hi Fly deal – which involves it leasing a plane owned by another Doric vehicle – suggests customers for used A380s exist. What's more, Emirates ultimately confirmed in January that it would buy another 20 new A380s, and British Airways has been interested in buying more A380s or leasing used ones to replace its oldest 747s when they are phased out in 2021. So there is a decent chance that the A380 will still be in demand when the ones owned by the Doric Nimrod funds come off their leases.
Uncertain but interesting
If the planes were quickly sold for their current estimated value at the end of the lease, I estimate an annualised total return of about 17% on DNA, 14% on DNA2 and 13% on DNA3 – but that's far too optimistic. If they sold for the parts value that Dr Peters is estimating, it would be 3%-4%, which is hopefully quite pessimistic.
The comparison between the funds is not easy: the plane owned by DNA is an early one that may have a lower resale value than later ones owned by DNA2 and DNA3. Still, I think DNA looks especially interesting at this price. I have bought a small amount while waiting to see what happens to the next two planes that have come off lease with Singapore Airlines, one of which should also be going to Hi Fly.

Modern Bitter Kola Plant
bitter kola plant - In this article, we'll cover the basics of creating a stunning and peaceful garden. We'll also discuss some of the things to consider as you plant, with ideas about what kind of plants to cultivate, and which plants work well together.
The capacity of plants to adapt to its environment is dependent on a number of variables, which include the importance of light, water, air, nutrients, as well as temperature in that environment. The capacity of a species of plant to spread through an area is contingent on its ability to adapt to the abiotic and biotic elements in that region.
A plant's ability to adapt to its surroundings is contingent upon a variety of variables, such as the relative importance of light, water, air, nutrients, and temperature in that surroundings. The capacity of a species of plant to move across an area is dependent on its capacity to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of the region.
The capacity of plants to adapt to its surroundings is contingent upon a variety of factors, including the relativeimportance of light, water air, nutrients, and temperature in that environment. The capacity of a plant species to move across an area is dependent on its capacity to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of the area.
There are a lot of elements that affect competition between plants such as climate, soil conditions, and availability in other sources. Competition is the most significant interaction between plants. The species with the highest chance of succeeding in a particular region is the one which utilizes the area's resources the most efficiently.
Light that hits the plant's surface will either be captured, reflect, or transmitted. Energy is generated by sunlight, can be one of the major driving factors in the chemical reaction referred to as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process through the green plants make food items, mainly sugar, by combining carbondioxide with water with the help of chlorophyll, utilizing sunlight to generate energy and release oxygen and water.
The most crucial necessity for the life of plants. It's one of the essential needs for growth of plants. It keeps the plant healthy, it is used in photosynthesis, and it transfers nutrients throughout the plant. It also reduces the temperature of the leaves, increases mineral absorption, and draws water from the roots up to the top of the plants through the process of transpiration.
Wind is the motion of air, which is usually beneficial to plants. It helps transfer heat away from leaf surfaces as well as improves circulation in areas that are susceptible to fungal development, and is necessary to move seeds in the air. Wind can be harmful for plants, drying leaves, scattering weed seeds and, in some cases, killing plants.
The average temperature of the air varies depending on altitude, latitude and topography. Climate and temperature affect the kind of plants that will develop. The capacity of plants to withstand low temperatures and thrive in cooler areas is called cold toughness. Plants that aren't able to withstand cool temperatures are referred to as tender.
Soils are made up from a combination of organic matter, minerals, water, and air in varying proportions. The small particles of minerals are derived from rocks that have been broken down over long durations of time due to the effects of weathering. Organic matter consists from living creatures, waste substances and decay products.
It refers the dimension of particles which dominate. Texture of a soil will affect the quantity of water, air, and nutrients contained within the soil. The penetration of water, air and even roots occurs more readily through soils in which larger particles dominate.

Baidu marked volume production of Apolong autonomous buses, developed with Chinese busmaker King Long and using Apollo autonomous driving software, for commercial operation in cities including Beijing, Shenzhen, Pingtan and Wuhan, the company said at its developer conference in Beijing on July 4, 2018.
Intel is getting a big opportunity to show off advanced vision technology and software from its Mobileye unit by partnering with Baidu's Apollo, the Chinese tech giant's autonomous driving consortium.
Working with Mobileye, Baidu will integrate the Israeli company's Responsibility Sensitive Safety software into both its open-source Apollo platform shared with partner companies and commercial Apollo Pilot programs, Intel said in a statement. Baidu will also use Mobileye's camera-based surround computer vision system for automated vehicles being developed for the Chinese market.
"Our team recognizes the value and critical role that Mobileye's RSS model plays in safely deploying autonomous driving," Weihao Gu, general manager of Baidu's Intelligent Driving Unit, said in a statement.
Additionally, Baidu said at its Create developer conference in Beijing on Wednesday that it's begun "volume" production of Apolong autonomous mini-buses with so-called Level 4 autonomous capability. Developed with Chinese busmaker King Long, the vehicles hold up to 14 passengers and will soon enter commercial operation in cities including Beijing, Shenzhen, Pingtan and Wuhan, Baidu said. It also aspires to take the vehicles overseas and is working with King Long and SoftBank's SD Drive to deploy Apolong shuttles in Japanese cities including Tokyo early next year.
Typically known as the Google of China, Baidu has evolved into a major player in autonomous vehicle technology with an alternative approach to that of Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo and General Motors' Cruise. Rather than developing all the technology needed in-house and on its own, Baidu has promoted an open-source approach to self-driving software and AI with Apollo since April 2017. The effort counts hundreds of companies as partners, more than a 100 of which are auto and tech firms including Ford, lidar maker Velodyne, Bosch, Nvidia, Daimler, Valeo, Jaguar Land Rover, Byton and many of China's largest domestic auto and truck makers.
Baidu has said it wants Apollo to become the Android operating system of autonomous vehicles, and that it's taking the lead to ensure the quality of the tech platform. It unveiled Apollo 3.0 on Wednesday in Beijing, with software upgrades for valet parking, and for autonomous mini-buses and micro-cars.
China has placed a priority on being a leader in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving. After the rollout of Baidu's Apolong shuttles, which operate without a human driver in geo-fenced areas, a slew of Chinese carmakers participating in Apollo have plans to follow starting in 2019 with a range of robotic cars, vans and commercial vehicles.


Output voltage 12 V. Power 30 W.
The switched-mode power supply is used to supply electric and electronic devices that require a stable, filtered supply voltage independent of changes in the mains voltage.
* Below 160V input power supply voltage will continue to stabilize the output voltage, but the maximum output current will decrease concurrent with a decline in input voltage.
* Due to the high frequency converter, some very sensitive radio or microprocessor can operate correctly. It is recommended that you install the filter OP-230 (see item 18) between the power supply and receiver.
* By increasing the load above Imax will stabilize power supply current, but output voltage will decrease. If a outputvoltage falls to about 40% of the power supply is switched off and will be 1.5 ÷ 2sec. sample. Similarly happens when you connect the receiver, which receives a large current boot (ie the cold light bulb). If you're experiencing is not too large, the power supply after a few attempts (eg, the gradual warming-up, the light bulb filaments) runs. If the load is too large to sample the power supply will disconnect the load moment.

It was the last week of my summer job at Ridgecrest Conference Center in 2006 when I got the dreaded phone call from my sister. My dad was leaving my mom. I sat and cried on the phone with my younger sister. Cried and cried. It was the hardest thing I had gone through at that point in my life. Being 10 hours away from home made the situation even more unbearable. I always believed my parents would be the ones still married for their 50th anniversary. Some would say we were lucky enough to have them together for 20 years… but I would say, marriage is for a lifetime. For better or worse. And they sure experienced both.
My parents met in a bar. My dad was a musician and my mom was a bartender. My grandma (my mom's mom) actually introduced them. They met, fell in love and were pregnant with me after a short time… so they got married. For the first two years of my life we lived in an airstream camper, so my dad could travel from gig to gig. When my mom got pregnant with my younger sister, Courtney, more space was needed – so we moved into a double-wide. I learned at a young age that doing what you love didn't come with out sacrifice.
Our lives were filled with tragedy for the first couple years. My mom lost her mom, brother and grandma within a few years. Two were ruled suicides. Along with the pain, came the search for hope. We attended Vacation Bible School while visiting my aunt one summer in Miami and I heard about Jesus for the first time. I was only six years old, but I knew that I needed Him in my life! I surrendered everything to Christ and was baptized along with my mom soon after.
Things slowly began to change after that. We joined a church back home and my sister and I were active all throughout our school age years in children's choir and youth group. And my mom, well she made a complete 180. She quit drinking, quit her job as a bartender and took a job cleaning churches. She also taught preschoolers on Wednesday nights at church, taught Sunday School on Sunday mornings and eventually became a facilitator for a 12-step addiction recovery program. Meanwhile, my dad took a job as a truck driver to better support our family and only played gigs on the weekends when he was home. Gigs meant late Friday and Saturday nights – which didn't mix well with early Sunday mornings. It was hard to have one parent so involved in church and the other not at all. My dad was supportive, don't get me wrong, he just couldn't find the time to make it a priority with his schedule.
So there you have it. My mom, now sober, living with my dad, not sober… I'm sure you can imagine how things began to go. This difference in lifestyle was the downfall of their marriage. And eventually my dad found someone else who gave him the time and attention that he was craving.
Or at least that's what he told me on the phone that horrible night in 2006.
"I'm in love with someone else..." was what I heard when my sister finally handed over the phone to my dad to explain things. It was so difficult to not be able to hug my mom that night. That's all I wanted to do... hug my mom. She had been through so much in her life already. How could he leave her? I was so angry and hurt. But, that hug would have to wait. Like I said, I was 10 hours away working at a conference center. I only had three days left and then I had to drive back to college in Florida. No time to see my family.
I sang the song this way for awhile. Until the affects of my parents divorce began to unravel in a way I never imagined... my mom relapsed back into alcoholism. After my dad left, she held on to hope for a whole year. She never signed the divorce papers and was willing to take him back at any point. But after a year, a divorce is finalized if one party still wants it. My dad did... so it was over. It came at the worst time. My sister left home for college soon after and then I got married. Leaving my mom all alone. This is when she fell apart. She ended up with a DUI and was put on probation. After violating probation a few times, she was placed in the county jail for five months. She lost her job. Her license. And worst of all, her ministry.
She was in jail during Thanksgiving 2009. That was the hardest year to be thankful. I was on my bed crying out to the Lord one night, when I heard a tug at my heart tell me to revisit this song. This song that I wrote in pain needed to be finished. It needed a chorus that could be the cry of everyone experiencing doubts, frustrations and pain in this life. I wanted to write this for my mom. Through tears, I wrote these words on a letter that would be addressed to a county jail.

Kendrick Lamar had an amazing 2017 and it doesn't seem things will be slowing down for 2018. K Dot is sure to have a huge night at the Grammy's on January 28th, Kendrick is nominated for 7 including Album Of The Year, and he surely will have a huge February because he has announced he will be curating and producing the soundtrack for the highly anticipated film, Black Panther. This is the first time Marvel integrates original music created specifically for them into one of their films, so this is huge for Kendrick. Kendrick was personally selected by the movies' director Ryan Coogler, who also directed Creed and Fruitvale Station, to work on the soundtrack. Kendrick will be working alongside the CEO of his label TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment), Anthony Tiffith.

This needs to be the worst publication i've got ever visible on a software program product or suite. i believe i will converse with a certain quantity of authority, having been an editor/writer for 6 years at an important laptop corporation, answerable for a three hundred+ web page record that was once up-to-date quarterly. All i needed was once uncomplicated details at the note processor and unfold sheet; the e-book proved to be totally dead. pondering that maybe i used to be getting senile, I did a short calibration of my psychological procedure via a short perusal of a a bit of elderly competitor: "Office ninety eight Bible". This proven my trust that "Beginning place of work three" is dead.

This new location is added to the default location, which means you'll retain access to the suite's included templates while being able to manage custom templates much more easily. Make sure you select the radio button next to the new path to set this as the default save location for new templates. To test that everything's working, open up Writer, and select File ¢ New ¢ Templates and Documents. Look under the MyTemplates tab, and your blank letter should be there. Select this letter, and then begin adding content.
The Before text option defines the gap between the left edge and the text, whereas the After text option deals with the right. Earlier you saw how you can alter these values visually using the widgets on the ruler, but this method offers far more control. The Spacing section allows you to define the gap that appears before or after each paragraph. Usually you'll only use one of these options, but there are exceptions such as when adding subheadings to a piece of text. For this letter, I've set a small gap Below paragraph to create a visual break between each section of text.

Ordinarily, rotation is restricted to 0, 90, or 270 degrees (horizontal, vertical bottom-to-top, and vertical top-to-bottom), and the Fit to line option—which is grayed out until a rotation value has been selected—squishes the line of text vertically into the same height it occupies horizontally. The scaling options increase or decrease the width of the letters (the value of 100% is Writer's standard setting), whereas the Spacing section options expand or condense the gaps between the letters.


I'm not quite sure why, but in other catastrophes like the Haiti one they will have no influence on myself, but this have take out my heart. Not sure why, but I'm very worried about it. I have dream about it (with my own problems too) and I have a feeling about help them.
As a good friend say, maybe it's not time to help, because I'm not sure what can I help. I'm a technician, not a doctor or something. But maybe later will be time to take a trip to Haiti and help to up communications or somethings… because that's my work.
I will take some information about how can I help them in a near future, and… maybe, it's time to go a couple of months there. They need me or that's what I feel.


As it looks more and more like England's exit from the EU will turn into a train wreck, one of the world's largest drugmakers pleaded with authorities to get their acts together so drug supplies do not get lost in the wreckage.
"This includes clarity over customs arrangements, both to and from Europe, and to minimize disruption at our borders," Novartis said.
The statement came after Britain's parliament voted down Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for a transition. The Brexit deadline is March 29, and so far May has been unable to craft a compromise plan that all sides can agree on, meaning customs crossing could become chaos.
The drugmaker said it is building substantial supplies in the U.K. of the more than120 million packs of medicines it brings into the country from Europe annually. The National Health Service has ordered drugmakers to stockpile a six-week supply in the U.K. of those medications currently made in Europe but sold to the NHS.
But such contingency plans will be comprised if the NHS and the country's pharmacists don't heed the government's advice not to hoard drugs to prepare for Brexit, a practice that will only lead to shortages in some areas, Novartis said.
Pfizer has estimated that these kinds of preparations, which include packaging changeovers and finding warehouse space, will cost it $ 100 million in additional expense. AstraZeneca put its number at $ 40 million.
As a reminder of how large and important the drug industry is to Britain, Novartis pointed out that it is a $ 50 billion company that has 1,500 employees in across the U.K. and invested nearly £30 million in R&D in the U.K. alone. In November, Novartis moved its U.K. headquarters to London, setting up shop in the White City Place development next to Imperial College London's new campus. Just this month, it announced a five-year collaboration with the University of Oxford's Big Data Institute to learn to use big data to improve drug development and patient care.

Odisha swimmers resent demolition of pools at Kalinga Stadium
ODISHA LATESTSPORTS
By Sambad English Bureau	 On Sep 22, 2017
Bhubaneswar: Ahead of the men's Hockey World Cup scheduled to be held at Kalinga Stadium in Odisha capital next year, the state government is all set to go ahead with massive infrastructural overhaul to accommodate more spectators by demolishing swimming pools.
Scores of swimmers from different proficiency levels staged a demonstration in front of the swimming complex inside the stadium to oppose the unilateral decision of the government to demolish the pools to accommodate the expansion of hockey stadium for which visitors' galleries would be erected.
The decision has irked many as it has been implemented from today.
"How can the government go ahead with its unilateral decision without making alternative arrangements? Professional swimmers like me will be badly hit if they don't get chance to train for even a week. We demand the government to rollback its decision without making alternative arrangements," swimmer Pratyasha Ray expressed.
Here's how to get tickets for FIH Hockey Pro League in…

Notably, the government has planned to demolish portions of professional swimming pool and diving pool to expand the gallery to increase the seating capacity which currently can accommodate only 10, 000 visitors.
Worth mentioning, over 200 members come to the pools every day in two shifts for training and fitness purposes.
When contacted, an official said that the pools will be rebuilt by extending its length from other sides. The work may take some months.
According to sources, the Sports and Youth Services department is mulling to provide logistic support to professional swimmers to train at Odisha Cricket Association's swimming pool at Cuttack.

Back in the day, interviews were only to test your basic knowledge of specific programming languages, but now interview process has become more intense and the level of java interview questions have gone to the next level. Nowadays, you will get varieties of questions from different areas which can be overlooked by many Java programmers.
New to Java? Prepare with these top 20 Core Java interview questions and answers and get ready to crack the interview.
If you are a fresher and seriously preparing for Java Developer interview then you can really benefit from the core Java Interview questions. In this article, we are trying to provide you with a different collection of questions from which you can really take the leverage you are needed for getting hired for the Java Developer positions.
Cracking interview to become a Java Developer is not an easy task but we are here for you to guide through all levels of the interview process. For your preparation, we are providing you following Java Developer Interview Questions and Answers which will definitely help you in landing your dream job and a promising salary.
In this section, we will cover the basic Java Developer interview questions for freshers which will also help junior developers in their interviews. These are the latest Java Developer questions that will definitely help you to crack the Java developer interview.
1) What are the features of Java Programming Language?
Simple: If you know C++ already, it will easier for you to write a program because Java syntax is fully based on C++ which makes easier to learn.
Object–Oriented: Java is not fully object-oriented but it is to the extent and works on an object-oriented paradigm which allows managing the code with the help of objects.
Portable: Java works on the principle of read-once-write anywhere approach which can be executed in every machine.
Platform Independent: Java doesn't depend upon the operating system to execute the code as it comes with its own platform where its code is executed.
Secured: Java doesn't use any pointers it has its own mechanism of handling memory management and with perfect authorization process then only it gives access to the data to the program. Also, it uses the concept of Byte Code and Exception handling which makes it more secured.
Robust: The concepts like Automatic garbage collection, Exception handling, etc. make it more robust because it uses strong memory management mechanism.
Distributed: Java is distributed because it helps users to create distributed applications in Java. For creating distributed RMI and EJB are used by which we can access files by calling the methods from any machine on the internet.
Dynamic: Java is a dynamic programming language. It supports dynamic loading of classes which means classes are loaded on demand.
2) What is the importance of the main() method in Java?
With the main method being public and static it helps java to access it without initializing the class. The value which is passed in the input parameter is an array of String by which runtime arguments are passed.
3) What is the difference between path and classpath variables?
Answer: The path is an environment variable which is used by operating systems to locate the executables. That's the reason why when we install java for the first time or want an executable to be found by OS, we need to add the directory location in the Path variable.
Classpath is very specific to Java and used for locating class files by java executables. It can be a directory, ZIP files JAR files, etc. when we provide classpath location while running java application.
4) Is Java Pass By or Pass By Reference?
Answer: This is one of the most confusing questions about the Java, some believe that it is Pass by reference and others believe that it is Pass by value. But according to the Java Spec stated that everything in Java is Pass by Value. These terms are directly associated with variable passing and method calling as method parameters. In Java, when we pass a reference of complex types as any method parameters then the memory address is copied to a new reference variable in the exact same manner.
5) What is the final Keyword in Java?
Answer: Final keyword is used with the class to make sure that any other class can't extend it. For example String class is final and we can't extend it. Final keyword is also used with different methods so that it can't be overridden by any child classes.
Variable is also made final so it is only assigned once. Java interfaces variable is also by default final and static.
6) What are the access modifiers in Java?
Public: The classes, methods, variables, and other members who are defined as public, can be accessed by any class or method.
Protected: As it sounds, it has special characteristics. Classes or methods that are defined as protected can be accessed by the class of the same package, or by the sub-class of the parent class, or within the same class.
Default: Default is accessible within the package only. All the classes, methods, and variables are of default when the public, protected, or private are not used.
Private: Classes, methods, and variables which are defined as private can be accessed within the class only.
7) What is a static import?
Answer: If we have to use any static variable or method from other class, usually we import the class and then import the method/variable with the class name.
We can do the same thing by importing the static method or variable then by only we can use it in the same class it belongs to.
Overuse of static import create confusion and make the program unreadable and unimaginable.
8) What is Enum in Java?
Answer: Enum was introduced in with Java 1.5 version as a new type whose field consists of fixed sets of constants. For example, in java direction like East, West, North, and South are created with enum as the fixed set of fields. enum is a keyword used to create enum type which is similar to a class. Enum constants are final and implicitly in nature.
9) What is Composition in Java?
Answer: The composition is the design technique used in java to implement a has-a relationship in classes. It is used for Object composition for code reuse. It is achieved by using instance variables that refer to a different object. The main benefit of using composition is that it provides control over the visibility of other objects to client classes and reuse what we really need.
10) What is the Java Reflection API?
Answer: Java Reflection API provides the ability to inspect and modify the behavior of any application during runtime. We can inspect any java class, enum, and interface and also get their methods and field details. It is an advanced topic and used for breakage of any design pattern such as Singleton pattern by invoking the private constructor which also violate the rules of access modifiers.

In this section, we will cover the advanced Java Developer interview questions for experienced professionals which will also help senior developers in their interviews. These are the latest Java Developer questions that will definitely help you in for strengthening your preparation.
11) What is marker interface?
12) What is the difference between the user thread and daemon thread?
Answer: When a thread is created in a java program, it is known as user thread. A daemon thread is a thread which runs on background and doesn't prevent JVM from terminating. When there is no user thread running then JVM shutdowns the program and quits. A child thread created from daemon thread is known as a daemon thread.
13) What is CountDownLatch in Java?
Answer: CountDownLatch in Java is synchronizer which allows one Thread to wait for one or more Threads before start processing. This is a very crucial requirement and often used in a server-side core java application and having this function simplifies the process of development. This is one of the most important questions and often asked in big java interviews.
14) What is Compare and Swap (CAS) algorithm?
Answer: Compare and Swap (CAS) is an atomic instruction used for achieving synchronization in multithreading. It compares the content of a given memory location and if matches then it modifies the value of the content of that memory location to a new given value. This is a single atomic operation and the new value is calculated which depends upon the up-to-date information and if it is used by another thread then the write operation would fail.
15) What is the volatile keyword in Java?
Answer: Volatile keyword in Java is used with variables and all the threads read its value directly from the memory location and don't cache it. Volatile keyword makes sure that the read value is exactly the same as in the memory location.
16) What is the Java timer class? How to schedule a task to run after the specific interval?
Answer: Java timer class is a subclass of java.util package and it is a utility class used for scheduling of a thread which will be executed in a certain time in future. It is used for scheduling of a task which can run one time or be run in regular intervals. Java.util.TimerTask is an abstract class which uses the runnable interface and we need to extend this class to create our own TimerTask which can be scheduled by using java Timer class.
17) How to write a custom exception in Java?
Answer: By extending the Exception class or any of its subclasses we can create custom exception class in java. A custom exception can have its own methods and variables which are used for passing the error codes or any exception related information to the exception handler.
18) What is OutOfMemoryError in Java?
19) Can we have an empty catch block?
Answer: Yes, we can use an empty catch block but it's not a right way of programming. When we use an empty catch block and if it catches any exception then we will have no information about that exception and it will be a nightmare of the situation to debug it. There should be a log statement file for logging all the exception details.
20) What happens when an exception is thrown by the main method?
Answer: When the main0 method throws out an exception then the Java Runtime Environment terminates the program and the print the exception message which was stacked in system console.
21) What is JDBC API and when do we use it?
Answer: Java DataBase connectivity API allows us t work with the relational database in java programming. JDBC API classes and interfaces are the part of java.sql and javax.sql package. It is used for getting the database connection, run SQL queries and stored procedures in the database server and process the results.
JDBC API is designed in a way which allows loose coupling between our java program and actual JDBC drivers which makes our life easier from switching one database server to another.
22) What are the different types of JDBC drivers?
Answer: There are four types of JDBC drivers available. Any program which has data connectivity works on the two parts, first is JDBC API and second is the drivers which do the actual work.
This uses ODBC drivers to connect with the database. ODBC drivers must be installed to connect with the database.
This driver used to convert the JDBC class to client API for the database servers. Database client API should be installed because of the extra dependency on the database client API drivers.
This driver is used to send the JDBC calls to a middleware server which helps in connecting with the different database Middleware server must be installed to work with it.
This driver is used to send JDBC calls to the network protocol which is understood by the database server. This is a simple suitable driver for database connectivity over the network. For using this driver, Oracle DB, MySQL connector should be installed.
23) What is JDBC ResultSet?
Answer: JDBC ResultSet is like a table of data which represents a database result set, which is generated when a database is queried by an executing statement. ResultSet object manages a cursor pointing which points to a current row of the data. At starting it positioned before the first row. By the use of next() method, it moves to the next row. If there is no row to move forward then the next() method returns false and it can be used in while loop to iterate through the result set.
24) What is "dirty read" in JDBC? Which isolation level prevents dirty read?
Answer: When transactions taking place and there is some that a row is updated at the same time some query can read the updated value. This dirty read happens because that the updated value is not permanent yet, the transaction that has been updated could rollback to a previous value which will result in invalid data.
25) What is 2 phase commit?
Answer: In a distributed systems environment where multiple databases are used, it required to use 2 phase commit protocol. It is an atomic commitment protocol used in distributed systems. In the first phase of this protocol, the transaction manager sends commits requests to all the available transaction resources. If it gets an ok signal from all the transaction resources then all the transaction changes to the resources are committed by the transaction manager. If a transaction resource gets an abort signal then all the changes are rollback by the transaction manager.

Eva Hesse – Catalogue Raisonné
Publisher: Yale University Press
Vol. I: Paintings | Vol. II: Sculpture
With recent major exhibitions in San Francisco, London, and Wiesbaden, the art of Eva Hesse is now widely recognized by scholars and the public for its enduring and evocative qualities, as is her powerful contribution to the art world of the 1960s and 70s.
During her too-brief career Hesse created 135 paintings and 176 sculptures, objects, and test pieces, and this beautiful slipcased set, bound in a fine, silver-sheen cloth, contains the first two volumes of a planned four-volume catalogue raisonné of her known work. Volume I, the paintings, is illustrated with 140 color plates and 13 black and white images and reveals 28 previously unknown paintings, including works that date from her time as a Yale University art student. Hesse's sculpture, though more widely known, is presented anew in the second volume in 164 color plates (many recently commissioned) and 44 black and white illustrations. It includes 21 previously unknown sculptures – including two painted wooden boxes presumably made in New York in 1964, in which the first signs of Hesse's shift from painting to sculpture occurred – and numerous previously unknown test pieces.
Format: Hardcover in slipcase

'You Get Nothing for Murder Anyway' 2/7/2007
AMSTERDAM – 48-year-old Huib de H. is being released after four and a half years in prison. His daughters and ex-wife are afraid he will come back to take revenge because of their testimony that he had raped and threatened to kill them, Het Algemeen Dagblad writes.
Huib's 20-year-old daughter Felicity says she can never be happy and laugh like the rest of her friends after her father had been repeatedly raping her three to four times a week. "He took everything from me".
Huib had been terrorising his wife and (step-)children for years. "Huib was married to my sister when I fell in love with him as a young girl. Two months after we got married, he hit me for the first time. After a while, I stopped feeling the pain, I became numb,'' ex-wife Mieke recalls.
She had to move from house to house a dozen times, but her husband would find her every time. Mieke and Felicity only got up the courage to contact the police after they saw that Huib had begun approaching his other, 11-year-old daughter as well.
"He threatened he would come back and kill us. You get nothing for murder anyway, he said. He said he had nothing to lose", Mieke added.
The Labour Party (PvdA), the Liberals (VVD) and the Christian Democrats (CDA) demanded today that one of the first laws drafted under the new cabinet should be a law preventing paedophiles from falling into their old behavioural patterns once they are released from prison.

Uranium - Doping Effects on Structural and Spectral Features of Vanadate Ceramics
Khaled M. Elsabawy
212-Vanadate ceramics with formula Bi2SrV2-xUxO9, where (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6 mole ) were carefully synthesized by solution routes with sintering temperature at 880oC for 24 hrs. Structural analysis with XRD proved that uranium (IV)-dopant can substitute successfully until x = 0.55 mole on the Bi-layered perovskite crystal structure without damaging the original structure . It was observed that U – doping have slight to moderate effects on both ESR-signals and conduction mechanism of U-doped Bi-Sr-V-O regime. Electrical measurements indicated that the energy gap Eg and number of electrons in conduction band Ncb increase as the ratio of U doping increases from x = 0.05 till x = 0.6 mole respectively due to the increasing of paramagnetic character of uranium than vanadium.

Q: Finding substring of NSString with RegularExpressions I'm trying to get the substring from a NSString by using NSRegularExpression.
I don't want the number of matches or to replace the string, I want the string that matches the Regular Expression
NSString *string = www.apple.com
NSError *error;
[NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(\b(https?|ftp|file)://)?[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]+[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]" options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&error];
NSString *substring;

What I'm looking for is:
substring = www.apple.com;

I'm trying to use as little NSRange/NSMakeRange as possible. Can anyone help me, please?

A: NSRange *range = [string rangeOfString:@"(\b(https?|ftp|file)://)?[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]+[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]" options:NSRegularExpressionSearch];
if(range.location!=NSNotFound) {
NSString *neededSubString = [String SubStringWithRange:range];

Cynthia McKinney: Letter from an Israeli Jail
The world saw Israel's despicable violence, thanks to al-Jazeera Arabic and Press TV that broadcast in English. I saw those broadcasts live and around the clock, not from the USA but from Lebanon, where my first attempt to get into Gaza had ended because the Israeli military rammed the boat I was on in international waters … It's a miracle that I'm even here to write about my second encounter with the Israeli military, again a humanitarian mission aborted by the Israeli military.

Gaza Strip, Palestine, has been brutally occupied by Apartheid Israel since 1967 and has been under a genocidal siege since mid-2007.

We don't often do the whole link roundup thing here at YMB, so let's give it a whirl.
Over at TheFilmExperience, I offer a post on "The Hours" for Nathaniel's "May Flowers" series. I looove this movie, and I was pleased with this piece, so I'm glad for the positive reaction from all those lovely TFE readers.
New friends Jason Bellamy and Shelia O'Malley both write up deeply felt articles on a particularly inspiring movie convo had at the home of other new friends, Keith Uhlich and Dan Callahan. I'm very happy to say I was there for the chat, and I'm flattered to have gotten fond mentions in both pieces.
Vulture has a list of the Top 10 Most Controversial Things the never-boring Lars von Trier siad at the Cannes press conference for "Melancholia." And the Huffington Post reports how his statements got him banned from Cannes and lost him a distributor. If this affects my seeing his film I'm going to be plenty pissed.
Lady Gaga releases two new tracks from "Born This Way" -- "Marry the Night" and another sax-infused tune, "Hair." Apparently there are more to come via Farmville? I don't mess around with such things, but I can't stop thinking: Does "Born This Way" have the power to outsell "Thriller?" It seems totally conceivable.
Finally, in an apparent quest to out-garbage Brendan Fraser, the ever-loathsome Kevin James will be starring in this summer's "Zookeeper," a comedy that may well elicit suicidal thoughts. I was just griping about how, given the choice, I won't be wasting my time with clearly-awful dreck, but I may just make an exception here. After all, guy's gotta fill his 10-Worst List.


I attended a most interesting workshop in January at Mason Music in Mount Gravatt.
I was particularly interested in learning about "Rote Repertoire" presented by Samantha Coates (author of BLITZ Books).
Why? Most of us are taught to read the notes from the first lesson that we have. It was considered 'wrong' to teach by rote. Well, what about a combination of both?
Or even, in some cases learn by rote first before learning to read the notes! For most of the teachers at the Workshop this is a new and exciting concept and so many different ideas can emerge from this "Rote" idea. Suffice it to say that I have come away with some new and fresh ideas to use when needed.

Camborne
Inside the most deprived neighbourhood in Cornwall
An area that was once thriving has been decimated by unemployment
Mike Smallcombe
It might lie only a few miles from the beautiful Cornish coastline, but there are some children living on Camborne's Pengegon estate who've never been to the beach.
According to data recently published by the Government, the estate is the most deprived area in Cornwall and among the 2% most deprived areas in all of England.
Across Camborne there are high levels of unemployment and children living in poverty. Bosses at the local food bank estimate that demand over the summer holidays was up around 30 per cent compared to last year.
Pengegon has always had its problems, but since 2015 it has overtaken Penzance's Treneere estate when it comes to deprivation.
The data looks at seven different aspects of deprivation - income, employment, skills/education, health, crime risk, the living environment and accessibility to housing and services.
Pengegon is deemed to be the most health deprived area in Cornwall and the second most deprived for income. It also scores lowly for employment and the level of skill/education of its residents. However when it comes to crime, Pengegon is far from the worst neighbourhood in the county.
The 17 Cornwall neighbourhoods among the poorest 10% in England
There are relics of the mining glory days all around this part of Cornwall. In the early 1800s, an area of land near Redruth produced so much copper that it was known as "the richest square mile in the old world".

But the decline of the industry has had a devastating impact on this once thriving area. Today, five of the ten most deprived neighbourhoods in Cornwall are in Camborne and nearby Pool and Redruth.
When the last working mine in Cornwall, South Crofty, closed in 1998, 200 people were thrown out of work. The cost of the closure to the local economy was estimated at some £2.5 million.
Inside Penzance's proud Treneere council estate
Three years later, the mining equipment manufacturer Holmans also ceased trading. Holmans was once world-renowned, employing some 3,500 men across three sites in Camborne.
The miners were never retrained and the jobs lost never replaced.

On the wall outside the South Crofty gate, there is some graffiti which reads: "Cornish lads are fishermen and Cornish lads are miners too. But when the fish and tin are gone, what are the Cornish boys to do?"
Tony Carter grew up in the Camborne area but moved to Wiltshire in 1984. When he returned 20 years later he was shocked to see how unemployment had decimated the area.
"Coming back here you think 'bloody hell', it's changed so much," said Tony, who lives in Troon. "It's the work, there's just nothing here anymore.
All around Camborne there are relics of the tin mining industry (Image: Greg Martin / Cornwall Live)
"It was alright when I left. We used to have Holmans and things like that, thousands of people employed, and now we've got naff all, nothing. In the town it's nearly all charity shops.
"I've got family in this area (Pengegon) but it has gone downhill I think. Park-an-Tansys up there, they call that Park-an-Roid. You hear about drugs."
Deprivation in Cornwall town 'getting worse and social housing is the answer'
Park-an-Tansys is an estate at the top of Pengegon. One of its residents, mum-of-three Tara Luscombe, admits the area was "a right state" when she was growing up, but says it's much quieter now.
"To be honest, I've lived around here for most of my life and when we were younger the area used to get trashed, there were cars left everywhere, it used to be a right state, but not now," said Tara.
"I do think it has improved, it's much quieter. They've been doing things to make it better for children as well."

While Tara and her husband both work full time she isn't surprised by the high level of unemployment in the area.
"It is difficult for people to find work," she said. "I work in care and had back and hip problems ever since having my youngest daughter so I've got to find other work. But you can't find any other work because nobody is taking on parents that have children.
"If you need a nine-to-three job, you just don't get it. Now and again I work nights because of the kids and my husband works during the day.
"We both work full time, because we've got to. It's a bit hard, especially when the rent comes up and the council tax.
Looking over Pengegon (Image: Greg Martin / Cornwall Live)
"We've been here ten years now and it's gone up substantially since we moved in, from under £1,000 a year to £1,300. It takes a massive chunk out."
Further down, Linda Lucas and her husband live opposite Pengegon Park with their dog Simba, where they are more than content.
"Really the problems are mainly at the top of the road, I think," Linda said. "I dare say there's drugs rife up there, although I couldn't say for sure. I go up there with the dog and I think to myself, 'you've got a lovely property, and look what you've done to it'.
Pengegon resident Linda Lucas and her dog Simba (Image: Greg Martin / Cornwall Live)
"This area has got a tag from many years ago for being deprived. There is probably a lot of unemployment.
"We've been here 30 years and it's a lot better than it was. It's mainly retired people so it's quiet here most of the time. We used to have loads of youths up here but they've grown up and moved on. And we don't get the litter like we used to.
When it comes to living environment, Pengegon is actually among the 20% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. (Image: Greg Martin / Cornwall Live)
"I wouldn't go out in the dark on my own because you don't know who's around, but it's absolutely fine."
When it comes to living environment, Pengegon is actually among the 20% least deprived neighbourhoods in England.
That becomes apparent as soon as you visit the area, which benefits from dramatic views all over west Cornwall.

"There are lots of lovely parks around here and nice walks for the dog, and I've got a lovely view," Linda said.
"I've got grandchildren so they can play in the park, although I do supervise them. It's lovely for the children in the summer around here.
"I love it here, and it's what you make it, isn't it? But I don't ask for a lot. I don't think many of us do."
