POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On managing emotions in the third period
There was definitely a response from our group after the hit on Ho-Sang in a positive way. The emotional charge where you don't want to see one of your own members of your group go down like that. Just the pure will and determination to have a response, to find some offence, to find a way to win the game for Ho-Sang was really good to see from the group.
On Joey Anderson and Brett Seney:
Their energy and their take-charge mentality of the direction they want the game to go in, to push and drive the team to go in a certain way. They led by example on the ice. With the goal that Anderson had and Seney coming up big with a puck to the net that went off Chyzowski, they added a lot to our game today. Can't say enough about the way they conduct themselves and how they lead this group.
JOEY ANDERSON (2nd CAREER HAT TRICK)
On coming back to the Marlies:
It's great. I was excited to see all the guys today. It was a fun game. We battled some adversity and it was one of those games where we're going to come together as a group from it. It was good to be around all of the guys.
On Toronto's response in the third period:
A bad hit we thought on (Ho-Sang), no call and then they come back and score right away. Guys were frustrated. We did it clean though. Guys weren't taking dumb penalties after that. We just kept trying to piece away at it. We found a goal in regulation and got it to overtime and were able to capitalize on the power play to finish the deal.
BRETT SENEY (1 GOAL, 3 ASSISTS)
Obviously what happened with Josh (Ho-Sang), we didn't appreciate. We thought it was a play that could have been a call. We decided the best way to get back at them was to put the puck in the net and get back in the game. Obviously, it wasn't the response we originally wanted with them scoring but I thought our group dug deep up and down the lineup to get into overtime there and then finish the job.
On Joey Anderson:
I love playing with the guy. He's one of my good buddies off the ice. I can't say enough good things about him. It's always great to see him get rewarded.
On the overtime winner on the power play:
We've got to give a lot of credit to our PP coach, Snacks (AJ MacLean), who drew up a play for us and Steeves and Duszak executed there at the top and Joe's there to put in the garbage.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On the emotions of tonight's game:
"A little bit crazy. You know, it's just in the way it works out – a game like this – which kind of sums up the way the road trip went for us but obviously thrilled the way it worked out. Each time, when we needed to push back and respond, we did. Whether it was after the first goal of the game, whether it was after giving up the lead and getting it back, or in the third period there having to get a key goal on the power play and then grinding it out in the end, it was good to see for our guys. This is an important win for us going home."
On Liljegren's first NHL goal:
"It's huge and we're happy for him. It's interesting you say I've been with him so long. I've been with him so long that I had to be reminded that it was his first goal. It feels like he's been here a while and I've certainly seen him score but I guess that was just as the AHL level. I wasn't really aware that it was his
first one, but it certainly was a great one and we're thrilled for him. I thought he played a great game today. He moved the puck really well, helped us on the breakout, got us out of trouble sometimes and, at times, got himself into trouble but then bailed himself out. It was great for him and huge to see him get
rewarded."
On Marner's return to the lineup:
"I thought he was great tonight. For a guy who hasn't played in a while and just had the one team practice
on this trip, he had good legs. Whether it was his goal or the big-time pass he makes on Matthews' power
play goal to tie the game. That's what Mitch does. He's a game-breaker like that. It was certainly nice to
have him back in the mix here tonight."
On tonight's game:
"Tough one and fun. I think you kind of hit it right on the head, just back-and-forth and up-and-down a bit of rollercoaster but we found a way to win and we're going home with two points which is all that matters."
"Well anytime he's in the lineup he's going to give you a lot of looks. He's a world class player and he just
finds a way out there. He makes plays, he's sees the ice really well and he's extremely dynamic so we're a better hockey team when he's playing so we're happy to have him back."
MITCH MARNER
On his return to the lineup after missing the last three games:
"Coming in yesterday, it was just great being back with the guys. Especially with the injury and then the COVID situation, I didn't really get to see the guys for two months or something like that so just being back with the guys brings me a lot of energy and a lot of joy. Obviously tonight, I just wanted to come in
and keep it simple. If I had plays to be made, then try them, but obviously it feels nice to come back and contribute and help this team win."
On tonight's win:
"It was crazy. A rollercoaster ride. Obviously, that's not the kind of game we want to play but I think we did a great job of staying with it, making sure we're doing the right things no matter if we gave up the lead, they took it or anything like that, we just kept fighting back. Obviously, our power play wasn't doing what we needed it to do tonight but that's a big goal when we needed it. It's a gritty win. We wanted to finish the trip off right and I think we're all happy with how we finished this game."
On his first NHL goal:
"I think we moved the puck well there in the o-zone and [Dermott] got the puck and I was open, got the pass and just thought I'd give it a go. I actually didn't see the puck go in myself so I was kind of hesitant to
celebrate there at first but it was nice."
On assessing his game with increased ice time tonight:
"I don't know. I felt kind of good out there. Obviously, I was on the ice for three goals in our net so the play in front of our net was not good enough today, especially from my side. I think all of the goals they scored
when I was in was in front of the net so just not good enough. Other than that, I thought it was better than last game for my part."
ILYA MIKHEYEV
On his improvement this season:
"Just trying to help the team be better because we want to have progress ever game and step-by-step I just feel more confident now."

Goals 11 (J. Ho-Sang, A. Steeves)
Points 20 (J. Duszak, J. Ho-Sang)
+/- +5 (A. Steeves)
On the team's first period:
This is an extremely hard building to play in. Notorious for coming out with strong starts. They have a good crowd. We didn't come out with the start that we have recently in the last few games. On top of them coming out strong and us being flat, we may it hard on ourselves. The guys were saying the right things in the first intermission and responded in the second.
On Joseph Woll leaving the game in the second period:
I think one of our defenceman accidentally collided into him into the side of his leg. He may have tweaked his knee a little bit. Well assess and have our doctors look at it and see what comes of it. It was a heck of a job for him up until that point. Really kept us in the game with how many shots there were and then for how hard it is for Källgren to come in cold off the bench and play the way he did and give us a chance to win the game is great.
ALEX STEEVES (2 GOALS)
We felt coming out of the first period only down one was kind of a moral victory for us. I don't think it was our best period. We had a really good talk in the locker room that started with the players and I think that helped us gather some steam and have a better second period, score a power play goal which was huge and then the overtime goal is good to pick up the extra point in a tough barn.

ThinkWater is excited to announce the selection of ten leaders in water education, outreach, and extension to be ThinkWater Fellows for 2017-18. The ThinkWater fellowship builds a cohort of scholars and professionals engaged with water-related issues and teaches them systems thinking for application to their ongoing professional work. While the first cohort of ThinkWater fellows were advanced scholars and faculty conducting water-related research, fellows from the second cohort work in positions that allow them to integrate systems thinking into program design, education, and outreach involving a broad range of audiences, such as farmers, community members, volunteers, and youth.
Fellows will learn a proven method for teaching the universal rules underlying systems thinking approaches and methods that is suitable for all ages and populations from Drs. Derek and Laura Cabrera, faculty at Cornell University and founders of Cabrera Research Lab. While learning and applying systems thinking, the fellows will be participating in a research study to determine the utility of the relatively brief but intensive systems thinking training for education, extension, and outreach activities around complex water-related issues.
Fellows will develop and implement a comprehensive plan to integrate systems thinking into their water education, extension and outreach work in the geographic area they serve. The 2016-17 fellowship involves professionals from around the country, so much of the training, consultation, and interaction will occur online, with the exception of the annual, live-streaming systems thinking conference at Cornell University in early December. Fellows will make brief TED-style presentation on their strategies for implementing systems thinking in their ongoing water-related projects and discuss early insights about implementation in their geographic regions.
Dr. Derek Cabrera expressed enthusiasm at the opportunity to work with a new cohort of ThinkWater fellows. "Our involvement with last year's cohort was incredibly rewarding. Not only did we advance the work of researchers with truly diverse interests and methods for approaching complex water problems, we provided a venue for these scholars–and other experts applying systems thinking–to present at a live-streaming event that attracted 700 participants from 31 states and 39 different countries.


An expert witness reportedly stated that Anna Nicole Smith was given excessive prescriptions prior to her death.
Los Angeles, CA (WiredPRNews.com) – An expert witness testified Tuesday that Anna Nicole Smith was given excessive prescriptions by her doctor prior to her death. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), Dr. James Gagne testified at a preliminary hearing for three defendants who have been accused of giving the late model drugs illegally, that Dr. Sandeep Kapoor prescribed multiple opiates for Smith.
As noted by the AP, Kapoor, former attorney and boyfriend of Smith Howard K. Stern, and Smith's psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich have been charged with conspiracy for allegedly providing Smith with controlled substances illegally. The hearing this week is to determine whether the co-defendants should be tried for the charges.

Setup cannot continue because a dependent

this product on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2,
 Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.

So I started to search about the issue in the net but I couldn't find anything for windows 8, All I get was upgrading my windows to win server 2012 or 7 or 10... I was wondering if someone can help me here to get solution for installing tfs on windows 8.
Thanks in advance.

A: Windows 8 does not appear to be a supported OS for TFS 2018. I would not recommend installing TFS on a client OS. Either install it on a real server or use Azure DevOps.

Hamline University at the center of far-reaching debate over academic freedom
The private institute in St. Paul continues making headlines around the globe.
BringMeTheNews
Courtesy of Google Streetview.
A controversy at Hamline University has sparked a global debate over free speech, academic freedom, and what's considered Islamophobic.
The debate surrounds the response of university officials after a student in a global art history course complained about being shown a depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.
Following the student's complaint, school officials decided not to ask then adjunct professor Dr. Erika López Prater back for another semester, the New York Times reported.
López Prater included advanced notice about the image in the course syllabus and again warned students before displaying the 14-century painting during an online class, according to the NYT. No students reached out to López Prater to voice concerns.
The course syllabus, reviewed by MPR News, stated the course would introduce students to several religious traditions and the visual cultures they've produced historically, which would including showing depictions of holy figures, including the Prophet Muhammad.
"If you have any questions or concerns about either missing class for a religious observance or the visual content that will be presented, please do not hesitate to contact me," the course syllabus stated.
Hamline student Aram Wedatalla said she was shocked by the professor's decision to show the image, which Wedatalla claims disrespected her and her religion.
"I was extremely hurt and disappointed by the actions of the professor and I couldn't bring myself to return to that class ever again," Wedatalla said at a press conference Wednesday hosted at the Minneapolis headquarters of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN),
Wedatalla, a senior, is the president of the university's Muslim Student Association.
"I'm 23 years old, I've never seen a picture of a prophet — never in my whole life" she said through tears. "It hurts, it breaks my heart to stand here to tell people and beg people to understand me. To feel what I feel."
CAIR-MN executive director Jaylani Hussein said such images are widely considered sacrilegious and hate speech within the Muslim community.
"It's not only hateful and forbidden, but it also goes to attack the core beliefs of our faith," he said during Wednesday's press conference.
In an interview with MPR News, López Prater said she didn't mean to offend anyone and she felt it was important to include art that represents Islam.
"You can't erase history and I think it is actually important that we teach and demonstrate the internal diversity within the history of Islam which is a very, in my opinion, underrepresented and misunderstood religion," she told MPR News, adding she plans to teach at Macalester College in the spring.
While CAIR-MN has commended Hamline leadership for their handling of the incident, many academics and others have condemned the actions of university leadership on the basis of academic freedom.
In a commentary for the Minnesota Reformer, Metro State University professor Doug Rossinow compared the actions of Hamline leadership to the conservative influence over education in Florida under Gov. Ron DeSantis.
On academic freedom, he writes: "It won't be defended, at least not successfully, in selective fashion."

Summary of The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy
We are writing to you to share the latest news we received from the government concerning the proposed 75% wage subsidy for employers. Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced Wednesday a plan to backstop much of the Canadian economy through wage subsidies. This new 75% wage subsidy program is called the Canada emergency wage subsidy (CEWS).
Please note that Parliament has yet to vote on this proposed subsidy and will come into effect once it passes through legislation.
The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy Details:
On Wednesday, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced a plan to backstop much of the Canadian economy through wage subsidies. The wage support program, called the Canada emergency wage subsidy (CEWS).
The federal government will offer a 75 per cent wage subsidy to all businesses that have lost 30 percent of their revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To qualify, companies will have to show that their revenue in March 2020 was 30 percent less than it was in March 2019.
The wage subsidy will be administered by the CRA through the My Business Account portal on the agency's website.
The program will be in effect for three months and companies will have to reapply each month and show that revenues in 2020 are also 30 per cent less than they were in the same month the year prior.
The 75 per cent wage subsidy will cover annual earnings up to $58,700 — or $1,129 a week in pre-crisis earnings. So the maximum subsidy for each employee would be $847 a week.
This subsidy applies to payments made to employees on/after March 15th, 2020
Which businesses will qualify?
The benefit will be offered to all companies that have seen that 30 per cent drop in gross revenue.
The subsidy is available to all types of corporations in Canada, with the exception of non-taxable corporations and public sector entities like municipalities, public schools and hospitals. Bars and restaurants can qualify.
Sole proprietorships, partnerships, Canadian subsidiaries of foreign-controlled companies, nonprofits and charities are also eligible.
CEWS vs CERB vs the 10% Wage subsidy
Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)
The Canada emergency wage subsidy or CEWS is designed to discourage companies from laying off workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CEWS is also designed to encourage employers who have already laid off workers to put these employees back on payroll, now that they can count on direct payments from Ottawa to cover a significant portion of most wages for the next three months. Please visit this page on the CRA's website for more information on CEWS.
10% Wage Subsidy
On March 18, 2020, the Prime Minister announced a temporary 10 percent wage subsidy. For employers that are eligible for both the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and the 10 per cent wage subsidy for a period, any benefit from the 10 per cent wage subsidy for remuneration paid in a specific period would generally reduce the amount available to be claimed under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy in that same period. Please visit this page on the CRA's Website for more information on the 10% Wage subsidy.
Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)
The Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) is only available to workers, including the self-employed, who are collecting no income ($0) as a result of COVID-19. If an employee is still being paid by an employer, or picking up the occasional shift, they are not eligible for the relief benefit. Workers who quit or voluntarily leave their jobs are also ineligible for the CERB. Please visit this page on the CRA's website for more information on CERB or take a look at our CERB Fact Sheet.
Q: The government announced a 10 per cent wage subsidy earlier this month for small businesses. What happened to that?
A: This program is still in effect; small businesses can continue to claim the 10% benefit. However, if the company also qualifies for the 75% subsidy (CEWS) the amount of funds received from the 10% benefits will be deducted from the company's CEWS payment. Unlike the CEWS, small businesses can claim the 10% subsidy even if they haven't seen a drop in revenue in recent weeks.
Q: Are there penalties for misusing this subsidy?
A: The government is considering new criminal offences that will apply to individuals, employers or business administrators who provide false or misleading information to obtain access to this benefit, misuse funds obtained under the program or fail to distribute these funds to your employees. The penalties may include fines or even imprisonment.
Q: Can I receive the Canada emergency relief benefit (CERB) and still collect a subsidized paycheque from my employer?
No. The CERB is available only to workers, including the self-employed, who are collecting no income ($0) as a result of COVID-19.
If you are still being paid by an employer, or picking up the occasional shift, you are not eligible for the relief benefit. Workers who quit or voluntarily leave their jobs are also ineligible for the CERB.
Q: Are any changes being made to other EI benefits?
Other EI benefits, like maternity and parental leave, will be unchanged.
Q: Do I have to make any changes to my company's Knit profile to apply for this subsidy?
A: No, this program is administered by the CRA.

The Plot Thickens: What An Iranian Attack Means for Drone Stocks
Behind the Drone Attack
Ondas Systems (NASDAQ: ONDS)
A Solid, Speculative Buy
On Tuesday, October 15, a Liberian-flagged oil tanker had just filled up at an Oman oil terminal. The oil carried by the tanker, the Pacific Zircon, was headed for Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tanker was only 150 miles into its journey when a bomb-carrying drone slammed into its hull and exploded.

Maxar (NASDAQ: MAXR) Launches Into Space
There were no injuries from the attack. The Pacific Zircon didn't sustain any significant damage. The hull wasn't breached. There's no oil spilling into the sea.
The drone that hit the tanker has been identified as a Shahed-136 drone – the same type of drone that Iran has been sending to the Russians for their attacks on Ukraine civilians. They look like this:
Image Courtesy of the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI)
The armed Shahed-136 has a wingspan of about two meters. This drone can either be pre-programmed for a target or be guided by a remote operator using a radio signal. In the case of a remote operator, the range of this drone is limited to 90-95 miles. But in pre-programmed mode, the Shahed-136 has an estimated range between 1,100 and 1,500 miles.
Because of the range limitations, it seems pretty clear that the Shahed-136 that hit the Pacific Zircon 150 miles off the Oman coast was pre-programmed for its target.
It is also clear that no matter how well-armed, one Shahed-136 will not sink a tanker the size of the Pacific Zircon. The point of impact would have to be pretty much perfect even to disable such a ship. And that level of precision cannot be pre-programmed with any degree of certainty.
To really do damage, a swarm of these drones would be necessary. And that brings up the uncomfortable possibility that the attack on the Pacific Zircon may have been a test of some kind.
But test or not, why would an Iranian drone attack a tanker from Liberia?
Well, it's because even though the Pacific Zircon sails under the flag of Liberia, it is owned by an Israeli billionaire named Idan Ofer.
I can't get inside the minds of the Iranian leadership and tell you their ultimate plans and goals.
But I can tell you that over 20 million barrels of oil and oil equivalent pass through the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and around Oman into open waters.
Courtesy of U.S. Energy Information Administration
And every drop of it is within range of Iranian drones.
Maybe Iran's goal is to actively disable oil tankers. Or maybe it simply wants to create a more tense environment that will result in higher shipping costs and thereby exact a kind of retaliatory tax on countries that support sanctions on Iran.
I would suspect it's the latter. But shipping companies will have to assume it's the former, and so insurance, hazard pay, lease rates, etc., will go up. Oil shippers may have to add armed guards to the payroll. They may be asked to help subsidize military escorts…
Or maybe the shipping companies will look to implement the kind of automated attack drone defense system I told you about in a recent article, The Best Drone Stocks to Buy.
Here's the relevant part of that article:
Here's a microcap that caught my eye recently. $180 million market valuation and $3.80 a share, Ondas Systems (NASDAQ: ONDS).
Ondas makes private wireless networks for use with drones and surveillance equipment. The company's base station radios connect with devices in the field, and are loaded with proprietary data processing software, cloud connection (for uploading and transferring data), as well as an AI driven drone to complete the system.
Ondas' systems can be used by utilities companies to inspect long electrical lines, especially in remote regions. It can be used by railroads to inspect lengths of track, and, in partnership with Siemens, for running automated trains.
Plus, Ondas' American Robotics division has won FAA approval for automated industrial drones, which is a potentially significant opportunity. Iron Drone is an automated system that can be integrated into radar systems and will automatically deploy counter-drones when a drone threat is detected. It looks like Iron Drone would be a pretty good solution for the kamikaze drones that are harassing Ukraine right now.
But what really caught my eye was a recent acquisition. Ondas is buying a company called Airobiotics (TASE: AIRO), who, in turn, is buying an Israeli-based company that specializes in automated counter-drone systems called Iron Drone.
Here's a pretty cool video of the system in action.
Ondas has only been a public company for 2 years. It's essentially a start-up, so the company is just starting to make sales. But its tech looks promising.
Now, Ondas is trading lower than the $3.80 a share I cited above. It's currently around $2.80. It has also completed a convertible bond offering that gives Ondas around $28 million in cash to fund the development of its tech.
The company just reported earnings, which isn't good. Revenue missed by 54% earnings per share missed by 33%. However, Ondas is still expected to put up 62% revenue growth in each of the next three years.
But, with a recent cash raise, and bad earnings news out of the way, I consider Ondas a solid speculative buy under $3.

I've been trading, investing, and sharing my insights with individual investors since 1998. Back then, the internet was not a very useful research tool. Armed with a library card and a huge budget for the printer, I'd scroll the microfiche for Wall Street Journal and Financial Times articles. I bought technical books on wireless technology and fiber optic networks. I traveled to Chicago to learn the secrets of stock options trading directly from the experts on the floor of the CBOE. I've attended and spoken at more investor conferences than I can remember…. All because I've always taken my responsibility to my readers and subscribers very seriously. I refuse to parrot popular opinion, offer up half-baked ideas or publish incomplete or half-hearted research. There is no shortcut to deep research... becoming as close to an expert on topics, trends, and technology as possible. And the rewards are life-changing. The very first stock I ever recommended was South Korea's SK Telecom. My readers enjoyed a 150% profit in a matter of months. And after 25 years, I've helped tens of thousands of readers change their financial fortunes. A few months ago, I donated all my suits to Goodwill, pulled my name off the list of speakers for the big investor conferences, and left the big city for Southern Georgia. The plan was to retire to the banks of a tidal creek that splits off from the St. Mary's river as it enters the Atlantic between Cumberland and Amelia islands... and trade stocks when I felt like it. But, I guess retirement wasn't for me after all. I'm back, and this is gonna be something special.

With her voluptuous figure you'd think Khloe Kardashian would be careful about the clothing she wears.
But she was obviously unaware of the fashion rule that pale colours accentuate figures, while darks tend to help slim you down as she stepped out over the weekend.
The reality TV star wore a pair of light skinny trousers which showed off every lump and bump as she joined her sisters in Beverly Hills.
The pale colour made her thighs and bottom look even bigger as smaller siblings Kim and Kourtney were by her side.
Dressing the unflattering trousers with a similar coloured top with a zebra print patterning, the only thing that stopped the look being completely washed out was her black tailored jacket.
Not only did the pale shade emphasise her size, but they appeared to fit badly, too.
Khloe tried to inconspicuously pull up the jeans from behind as they started to slip down.
And the effect meant her bottom was on full show for everyone to see.
But while she scored a fashion faux pas with the get-up, Khloe tried to add some glamour to it with her skyhigh Louboutin heels.
But it meant she appeared to stick her bottom out as she walked.
The girls checked out a potential shop in Melrose Avenue for their Dash Range as a team of cameramen filmed their every move.
And while Khloe failed to impress in her get-up, her pregnant sister Kourtney showed off her chic maternity attire.
She opted for a black and white shirt, which was matched with leggings, black boots and a stylish hat.
And Kim stood out in jeans with a flowing red top for the day out filming.

Q: Prove absolute convergence of $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{f(n)}$ if $f$ is increasing and $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ is absolutely convergent Synopsis
In Terence Tao's, Analysis 1, we are given the following exercise:

Let $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ be an  absolutely convergent series of real numbers. Let $f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ be an increasing function. Show that $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{f(n)}$ is also an absolutely convergent series.

I would like someone to help verify my proof.
Proof
Let $\epsilon > 0$. Since $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ is absolutely convergent, we know by the Cauchy Convergence Criterion that there exists some $M \geq 0$ such that for all $p,q \geq M$ we have $$ \sum_{n=p}^q |a_n|  \leq \epsilon.$$ Note, however, that $\displaystyle\sum_p^q |a_{f(n)}| \leq \sum_{f(p)}^{f(q)} |a_n|$ for all $p,q \in \mathbb{N}$ (since each term is positive and for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, we have $n \leq f(n)$ since $f$ is increasing), so if $p,q \geq M$, we obtain $$\displaystyle\sum_p^q |a_{f(n)}| \leq \displaystyle\sum_{f(p)}^{f(q)} |a_n| \leq \epsilon$$ since $f(p),f(q) \geq M$. Hence, $\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{f(n)}$ is also absolutely convergent by the Cauchy Convergence Criterion.

A: This means you have to prove $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n a_{f(k)}$$ $$=\lim_{n \to \infty}(a_{f(1)}+...+a_{f(n)})$$ is absolutely convergent where $f:\mathbb N \mapsto \mathbb N$ is strictly increasing function.
I am giving my argument through an example.
Let $f(n)=n^2$. Then $\sum a_{n^2}=a_1+a_4+a_9+...=a_1+0+0+a_4+0+0+0+0+a_9+...=\sum b_n$ where $a_n=b_n$ if $n$ is a perfect square number and $b_n=0$ otherwise.
$\sum |a_n|$ is convergent.
Since $0\le |b_n|\le |a_n|  \forall n \in \mathbb N$, by Comparison Test $\sum b_n=\sum a_{n^2}$ is absolutely convergent.


The lesson of Halloween is that pretending to be something you're not will lead to a sweet reward.
I remember when Halloween was the scariest night of the year. Now, it's Election night.
I want to ask you out, but I've got butterflies in my stomach. And worms. And maggots. And..
What do witches put on their hair? Scare spray!
How do you write a book about Halloween? With a ghostwriter.
Why do vampires scare people? They are bored to death!
Though associated with darkness and ghosts, Halloween, sometimes, is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. The history of this annual celebration can be outlined 2,000 years ago, where the ancient Celts celebrated a festival to mark the end of the season of plenty and welcome the period of paucity. This was called as the festival of Samhain that lies between fall and winter, which was believed to be the period where the ghosts of the dead returns.
Now, gone are the days when Halloween is always associated with creepy ghost stories. The once dreadful festival has become one of the most awaited celebrations every year, with several fun and exciting activities to be done like trick or treat, pumpkin carving, horror movie marathon, costume parties, haunted house adventures and more. But, of course, visiting the dead and praying for them is by far the most important practice of all. And after, reliving the true purpose of Halloween, particularly in the Christian tradition, don't just wear costumes, but strike up a conversation with a stranger using these Halloween jokes. For sure, you'll crack up an uneasy smile, but earn friendship in the most unconventional and spooky way.

The Church viewed from the north
Llansantffraed is a spread out community to the north east of the River Usk opposite Talybont-on-Usk. There are a few houses near the church, which also serves the villages of Scethrog and Talybont-on-Usk.
The church was completely rebuilt in 1885 although it retains some elegant 17th and 18th century monuments. It is a Victorian architectural gem. It also has a fine acoustic and is regularly used for concerts. A guide book is on sale in the church. For further information on the church building, click here for the Brecknockshire Churches Survey page.
Llansantffraed and Henry Vaughan heritage
Breconshire's renowned 17th century poet and physician, Henry Vaughan, was born and lived nearby. He lies buried in a peaceful location under a yew tree in the churchyard, well signposted from the churchyard gate. There is a Henry Vaughan Visitor Area in the church which is open to visitors at advertised times. An annual programme of events linked to Henry Vaughan, including concerts and a memorial service, is arranged. For more information, see the Brecknock Society's webpage on Llansantffraed Heritage.
