Q: Unable to connect to SQL Server on VPS remotely I have a VPS, installed SQL Server and everything but the problem is that I can't access the database from outside my VPS.
I tried the following:

*

*Enable port 1433 in firewall

*Enable windows and server authentication in SQL Server

*Enable TCP/IP

*Make sure that SQL Browser is Running

When I connect using SQL Server authentication inside my VPS, it works fine, but from my PC I get this error

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

Now what should I do?

A: Most probably, your MS SQL server is not configured for Remote Access. Try following:
1) Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.

2) Click on Protocols for SQLEXPRESS from left hand side pane, from right hand side pane, double click on TCP/IP.This will open TCP/IP properties.

3) Under TCP/IP properties page, enter public IP address of SQL server under IP address field. Enter port number 1433 under port TCP port field.
4) Click on Apply and OK.
5) Restart the MS SQL Service.
6) Connect to MS SQL Server through SQL Server Management Studio as follows:

A: My response might be old though. Say you are still experiencing the same issue,

*

*Ensure that Protocol is set to Yes

*Then restart SQL Server and you
should be fine.

Q: Write down csv using Python in github repository I have a code that gets info from telegram chat and writes it down into csv, something like this:
...
#df_test = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['user_id', 'text'])
df_test= pd.read_csv("test.csv", header=0, sep=';')

...
@bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])

It works locally, but doesn't when I deploy it using github+render/heroku. As I understand the issue is in access rights to the depository or something like that. Can anyone advise?


Alexander Wang has officially become one of Kanye West's most outspoken fashion fans. After West received Footwear News's coveted Shoe of the Year award for his Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers, Wang spoke to the publication about his obsessions with the shoes.
"Kanye has been very generous in gifting me. I love them. I wear them all the time," Wang told FN at the 2015 ACE Awards in New York about his obsession with his Yeezy Boosts. "I'm not very precious with my shoes. I [normally] go anywhere with them, but with the Yeezys, I calculate the number of times I wear them so I don't ruin them too quickly."
If we had a pair of Yeezy Boosts in every color, we'd probably feel the same way! Keep scrolling to shop some of our favorite Alexander Wang and Kanye West pieces now!
What do you think of Wang's comments about the Yeezy sneakers? Tell us below!


Set JAVA_HOME (case-sensitive) environment variable in the job that starts tomcat. I typically set the variable and run java in a qshell script and run the script from the QSH command. When you installed tomcat, in the /bin directory there's a catalina.sh file that's there to set envirionment variables and run the java command that starts tomcat. Copy it over and modify it as necessary. Run your copy from the QSH command.
Im trying to understand what i need installed. Do i need 5722jv1 opt 8 if i have opt 10 installed?
Im developing apps using EGL using JDK 1.6. I would like to be able to run this on the tomcat server, but not sure what i need to do.

Sundance reels in Sally Aitken's Playing with Sharks
Cinema Australia / December 16, 2020
Valerie Taylor.
Playing with Sharks, the feature documentary from director Sally Aitken and producer Bettina Dalton, has been selected to screen at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition section.
The WildBear Entertainment production is one of only 10 films from around the world to be chosen for this prestigious and highly competitive section.
Playing with Sharks is a powerful and visually sumptuous 90-minute feature documentary about Valerie Taylor, living legend and icon in the underwater world. A glamorous shark hunter in the 1950s, Valerie was a champion slayer with ruthless aim before a personal epiphany transformed her into a passionate marine conservationist – notably for the ocean's scariest creature, the shark. Long before anyone else, Valerie dared to get close. This is her incredible true story, swimming against the tide of human misconception of sharks and putting herself on the front line for sharks for over 70 years.
Featuring a stranger than fiction script, the making of Jaws, a magnetic heroine, and that most charismatic and terrifying of screen creatures, sharks; the film draws on incredible re-mastered film footage captured over 50 years. Valerie's astonishing bravery underwater will change the way we perceive sharks once and for all.
IN CINEMAS NOW! Click for details.
"To launch this film at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival is a dream come true," said Sally Aitken. "Valerie's daredevil exploits and her astounding rich underwater archive are a potent mix for any director. It is a privilege to sink my teeth into her pioneering story. That she is still diving and fighting for sharks at the age of 85 shows Valerie's incredible passion and that her thirst for adventure remains undiminished. Her life-affirming journey as an unlikely conservationist proves to all of us just what is possible with our interconnectedness to the natural world, if we allow it."
"We are absolutely thrilled and honoured to have this film accepted to Sundance and grateful to all those who recognised the power of Valerie's story and the importance of honouring her achievements so all can bear witness to the fragility of our oceans and feel empowered to protect them as Valerie has," said roducer Bettina Dalton.
"When my producer told me my story was accepted by Sundance it was the most exciting news in a long and difficult year," said Valerie Taylor. It took many talented people to produce this piece of ocean history but without the wonderful footage shot by my late husband Ron this film could never have been made. He would be so very proud."
Playing with Sharks will be released in Australian via Madman Entertainment.

Q: Is there a way to allow all html attributes for CKEditor5 or use a wildcard? I'm setting up ckeditor5, but it removes a lot of the html attributes. I want to know if there's a way to allow all attributes without specifying one by one, or maybe specify it with a wildcard.
(example)
editor.model.schema.extend('$block', { allowAttributes: 'on-*'}); //for onclick and other events

Here's the way I'm doing it so far, which is a bit tedious since I have to specify each attributes.
import Plugin from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-core/src/plugin';

export default class Extension extends Plugin {
    init() {
        const editor = this.editor;

        let allowedAttributes = [
            'id',
            'class'
        ];

        editor.model.schema.extend('$root', { allowAttributes: allowedAttributes });
        editor.model.schema.extend('$block', { allowAttributes: allowedAttributes });
        editor.model.schema.extend('$text', { allowAttributes: allowedAttributes });

        for (var i = 0; i < allowedAttributes.length; i++) {
            editor.conversion.attributeToAttribute({ model: allowedAttributes[i], view: allowedAttributes[i] });
        }

    }
}

A: CKEditor has a separate configuration to enable all HTML features. Adding that should resolve your issue.

Undetected Venous Line Needle Dislogement during Hemodialysis was published by ECRI in Health Devices, Nov 1998;27(11):404-6. I have read alerts regarding this issue from at least Gambro(Cobe) and B.Braun Medical and I don't doubt every other manufacturer has written something as well over the years.
That said, this has been a growing problem along with the trend of increasing blood flow rates and is not a machine dependant hazard, it can occur with any manufacturers machine.
Because the hazard is not neccessarily a simple one to fully appreciate, it's worth reviewing what pressures are where in the extracorporial circuit. Blood comes from the patient via the arterial needle or port and is measured for pressure pre-blood pump (Arterial). Depending on the machine, there may be another pressure read post-pump before the blood enters the dialyzer. The next blood pressure measurement (Venous) is read after the blood exits the dialyzer but before it enters the venous needle or port and is returned to the patient.
Blood pump speed, Size of the needle lumin, Surface drag of the blood tubing material, Compliance of the tubing material, Blood viscosity and Temperature.
Remembering that with the blood pump off, there is little or no effects attributed to the A/V meter pressures other than the patients blood pressure, with increasing blood pump flow rates (Qb) the pt pressures contribution is quickly overwhelmed by these latter factors (particularly the needle lumin size). If the pressures contributed were to be graphed out, one would see not linear positive sloping lines but a set of positive curves and S-shapes, except for the pt pressure contribution which would negatively coorelated to the sum% of all the other factors.
Back in the years when Qb's were 150 to 250 ml/min, it would not be abnormal to have the patient contribution to be 30 – 40% of the meter pressures. In such a situation, should a venous needle come out, the venous meter pressure might drop as much as 40%. With todays Qb's hitting twice this, the pt's pressure contribution could be as low as 05%. Just the tubing compliance paired with the pressure oscillations of a peristalic pump (all blood pumps are currently of this type) can contribute as much as this. That means, unless you want continuous venous pressure alarms while at this Qb, the alarm window would need to be wider (in this case) than the pressure drop from the venous needle disconnecting. Unfortunately, this means that the alarm will probably not trip should this occur.
From an engineering standpoint, this is a difficult problem because of the number of factors that contribute to the meter pressures and that most of them are quite variable under widely different circumstances. To date, no manufacturer has been able to overcome these obsticles. The strong consensus of opinion is that clinical operators must be continuously vigilant in monitoring the extracorporial circuit and that needles are secure and in place at all times, particularly in the case of any blood handling alarm.
Some food for thought… Even if the blood pump was set to a rate where a venous pressure alarm would occur should the needle come out, if the operator resets the blood pump (unaware the needle is out) the new alarm limits will be activated around the new lower pressure and obediantly pump the blood from the patient without the patient's pressure contribution to set off another alarm and stop the catastrophy.
This last scenario is the one that keeps me up at night.
Please forgive the long post.

Can the IAG share price outperform the FTSE 100 in 2022?
The IAG share price has been one of the worst performers in the FTSE 100 in the past couple of years. Is this all about...
Sun, 20th Mar, 2022 - 08:59 GMT
Photo by Jr Korpa
Since the pandemic started in 2020, the IAG (LSE: IAG) share price has faced an extremely turbulent time. Indeed, it fell from over 600p pre-pandemic to under 100p at one point during the global health crisis. It's currently priced at around 140p. By contrast, the FTSE 100 has almost reached its pre-pandemic levels. But with travel restarting around the world, and Covid restrictions being removed, can the IAG share price outperform the FTSE 100 this year?
IAG's 2021 results were far from pretty. In fact, it reported an operating loss of around €2.7bn. At the same time, net debt increased another 20% from the prior year to reach €11.6bn. This means that if losses continue, it could lead to major trouble for the airline group. The IAG share price could lose more ground as a result.
But there are also some positive signs. For one, revenues increased 8.3% from 2020 to reach €8.45bn, demonstrating that demand started to return. In addition, operating losses have shrunk compared to the previous year, showing the benefits of the firm's cost-cutting measures.
Finally, there's also more optimism around the future. For one, current passenger capacity plans for 2022 are around 85% of 2019 capacity for the full year. The Omicron variant is also said to have had a minimal impact on bookings for Easter and summer. As people have been unable to go on holiday for a long time, I feel that there's a possibility for demand to exceed the 85% figure, especially if there are no more large coronavirus outbreaks.
Yet there are still some worries around the pandemic. In fact, due to the waning immunity offered by vaccines, cases do remain high, especially in Asia. As such, there's the worry that, even if all restrictions are lifted, some people will still be reluctant to travel. This would have a negative effect on the IAG share price.
And due to the extremely high price of oil, costs could soar. The company has not fully hedged oil and this is likely to strain profit margins. Even so, due to the current turbulent nature of oil, I hope that this is only a short-term problem.
Finally, the conflict in Ukraine has meant that UK carriers can't fly over Russian airspace. Although IAG has stated that this will only have a "minimal" impact on operations, it remains a concern, especially if the company has to start taking longer routes to avoid Russian airspace.
Can the IAG share price beat the FTSE 100?
It seems certain that the IAG share price will be more volatile than many others in the FTSE 100, as the airline industry remains turbulent. But while this is a major negative, I think the cloud may have a silver lining, especially if demand increases for travel this summer. This could help boost investor sentiment. Therefore, although I recognise that there are many risks, I'm tempted to initiate a small position in IAG, as I feel it could outperform the FTSE 100 in 2022.

Week 4 Recap
By:@SMich_5
There's always a tomorrow thanks to DFS, and hope springs eternal because of it. Week 4 was another tough one for the Mathletes, as we had another hit or miss week after two great weeks to start the season, followed by a mixed bag last week.
#QB
There's no sugar coating it, Siemian didn't get the fantasy job done. While a division win against Oakland is nice in real life, for DFS purposes this was not ideal. As a lower priced option heading into the game against Oakland, Siemian had some salary saving appeal over the higher priced options. Then, he went out and was able to just barely double up his pricing with just over 11 points. Not a disaster, but certainly not optimal for reaching the cash line. Denver was able to win the time of possession game, and things really slowed down a bit when Derek Carr left the game with a back injury, so this didn't quite have the scoring punch it needed to really boost Siemian into triple-up territory. While the scoring wasn't quite there for Siemian, his numbers weren't that different from weeks 1 and 2, where a rushing TD against the Chargers and four passing TDs on just 22 completions really helped to boost his numbers. Siemian will probably not be a high yardage guy this season, or maybe ever, and with the Denver defense he probably won't be in many high scoring shoot-outs. Moving forward, we should expect low floor, mid-ceiling type of production from him and knowing that adjust your expectations.
#WR
Rishard Matthews
The Titans as a team had a day to forget against the Texans on Sunday. Matthews had a decent start, with 3 catches for 49 yards in the first half. Unfortunately, QB Marcus Mariota had to leave the game with a hamstring injury and Matthews didn't get another catch the rest of the day, despite playing from behind the whole second half. Injuries are an inevitable part of the game, and while they cannot be predicted, the final results aren't adjusted for them either. This was a wrong call but not a bad call. Matthews was getting work, and if he had matched his first half production with his starting QB, he would have tripled up his price. He still is someone who will get a good amount of volume if either Corey Davis or Eric Decker are out and Mariota is in, and he still is tied with Decker for the team lead in red zone targets while consistently being priced lower.
#RB
There was a lot to like about Chris Carson's match-up heading into their game against the Indianapolis Colts. Carson had been the main guy working out of the Seahawks' RB group as Thomas Rawls and CJ Prosise battled through injuries and Eddie Lacy was fighting a persistent case of being Eddie Lacy. He had been their most successful back in their week 2 win against the 49ers, and had scored the week before in close loss to Tennessee. Rawls and Prosise were both ruled out of the game against Indy with JD McKissic being Carson's main competition for passing down work. Lacy was active but hadn't shown much so far this season. The Seahawks did end up having a great day offensively, rushing for almost 200 yards and two TDs, but unfortunately, Carson wasn't a huge factor. He did get the second most carries, with 12 for 42 yards while also contributing 3 catches for another 24 yards, but was unable to score. He also had seemed to settle into a pretty even split with Lacy right up until the end of the game when Carson suffered a significant leg injury which would turn out to be a fractured leg. He's on the IR for now and the Seattle backfield continues to haunt fantasy players across the land.
Finally, a bit of good news for the Mathletes. Another messy bird based backfield out west is in Arizona, as the Cardinals have been a little lost divvying up the duties normally assigned to the injured David Johnson. Ellington was poised to expand on his previous role from the pre-DJ days, as a Darren Sproles-style receiving threat/timeshare runner with some good elusiveness. Chris Johnson and Kerwynn Williams both showed that they were no better than backups at this point, so heading into a game against the 49ers, Ellington seemed like a great play given his very low price point. He didn't disappoint, even in a low scoring game. He finished with a nice line of 5 carries for 18 yards and 9 catches on 14 targets for another 86 yards and a very nice 19.4 DraftKings points. Given the aforementioned low score, Ellington showed what makes him so appealing as a cheap RB option: with his receiving ability he isn't TD dependent like most guys in his price range. With teams rolling coverage to take Larry Fitzgerald out of the game, and none of the other RBs on the roster with his pass catching skill, Ellington will remain someone to target.
Cameron Brate
There are few things in fantasy more sure than this: the New York Giants cannot defend tight ends. We should all be looking to this trend and using it to our advantage until they prove something has changed. This week it was a combo of Cameron Brate and rookie OJ Howard that went off for a total of 143 yards and 2 TDs, with 80 yards and 1 TD going to Brate. Some of the yardage was a bit fluky as Howard in particular had a big chunk come on a blown coverage, but four weeks into this season and most of last season the Giants have shown an inability to account for opposing teams' TEs. Brate did his work on 6 targets and 4 catches. Despite the wealth of pass catching options for QB Jameis Winston, Brate has still held his value as a good matchup play. That might change later on in the season as Howard's role grows and with the play calling possibly changing with Doug Martin coming back from his suspension. But the main takeaway here is this: target TEs playing the Giants. This week, that honor falls to the Chargers combo of Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates.

Q: Eclipse, PyDev, Kivy in Ubuntu I am new to Eclipse and PyDev.
I have installed Eclipse, Pydev and Kivy under Ubuntu 12.01.
I created a new Pydev Project in Eclipse. Now I want to use Kivy(and or xxWidgets) in it.
How can I set this configuration in Eclipse?

A: -Install Python. I am using python 2.7 so : sudo apt-get install python2.7
-Install the latest stable builds :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python-kivy

-If you want to install examples of kivy apps :
sudo apt-get install python-kivy-examples

If you have a problem with pydev, close eclipse, run it as root, re-install pydev from eclipse repos . Restart eclipse normally(without root), and it will work fine .
If you have problems with eclipse automatic save/logging , give the rights to the actual user to write in the file/folder (may be in ~/.eclipse/someOtherFolders/File...) mentioned in the error box with chmod (-R if it is a folder).


As people who spend so long around escape rooms, we often forget how new a concept they really are. The very first escape room didn't exist until 2007 and there weren't any open in the United States until 2013, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the current state of the industry: there are over two thousand escape rooms in this country alone. Despite the absolutely enormous number that exist, there still manages to be quite some diversity from one location to another. Nearly every location I've visited has something unique to offer, be it puzzles like nothing I've seen before, immersive storytelling, great sets, and so on. The medium is always evolving and always coming up with new ways to enthrall puzzlers everywhere. Let's take a look at the evolution of escape rooms and some of the different types that still exist today.
Despite the fact that the very first escape rooms were online games in the mid-2000s (predated by point-and-click adventure games, which are themselves predated by entirely text-based games: looking at you, Zork), the very first live-action escape games were fairly low-tech. Within the industry, these are often referred to as Gen. 1 games. Most early rooms consisted almost entirely of boxes and compartments locked by padlock. While the types of puzzles used by companies in this era were varied, many were paper-based. Things like crossword puzzles, classic riddles you've heard before, or pen and paper logic puzzles were common sights in these early rooms. Furthermore, these rooms were often sparsely decorated, as taking this kind of game and putting it in an actual physical room was enough to wow people for a while. Even though these mostly player-driven games were simple, they were still a phenomenon and left people yearning for more. The industry was listening and grew accordingly.
What if we Put Tech in Them?
Not fully content with "good enough", the brightest minds in the industry began looking for ways to innovate room escape games. The primary goal in this phase of room escape evolution was to minimize the number of padlocks in a room. They didn't vanish completely, and mostly still haven't, but room designers sought out ways to implement some more creative inputs. This step above is referred to as, creatively enough, Gen. 2. As the number of physical locks went down, the number of electromagnetic locks went up. The beauty of mag-locks are their versatility: sure, they still result in a compartment opening, but the input that unlocks the lock can be nearly anything. This started as a prettier, often more thematically appropriate, way to use four digit codes, but designers got more creative as time went on. Game creators discovered a frankly alarming number and variety of sensors, to detect light, vibration, or even specific objects with hidden triggers. Expanding the number of ways that a group can interact with the game and solve its puzzles allowed escape rooms to become even more immersive, as puzzles could be even more seamlessly integrated into a story. How could things possibly get better?
Just as quickly as the formula of 'Sensor reads a trigger and deactivates a magnetic lock' came onto the scene, it was modified. A variety of micro controllers and computers allowed for even more complicated technology to work its way into escape rooms. If Gen. 2 games were a math equation of "stimulus + trigger = magnetic release", Gen 3. games are conditional statements; "If this and this, but not that, then [result]. The primary puzzle goal in this stage of the evolution of escape rooms is to make sure that puzzles make sense within the storyline they occupy (a maze on the wall with a key stuck in it doesn't really belong in a prison cell, for example). Generation three rooms try to be magic tricks that have been turned into games.
The above heading comes from a quote attributed to Warren Buffet (whether or not he actually said it) about the three kinds of companies that exist. I believe it applies very well to escape room businesses. I would say there are more imitator companies than idiot companies, but both certainly exist. 'Idiot' companies tend to be the kinds of people who keep hearing about escape rooms on the news and go "boy oh boy I'm gonna get rich!", without taking the time to learn what makes fun games fun. 'Imitator' companies are the most prevalent in the Room Escape Industry (and likely in companies in general). They tend to be fairly in touch with the player experience, but often settle for good enough. Escape Room Innovators are the least common but definitely always worth visiting. At Escape Room Fairfax, we try to fit into this category. We're a team of creators who have loved games of all kinds our whole life. Our goal is simple: make the kinds of games that we'd want to play. Whether we're looking for new storytelling tricks to draw you into the world we created, boggle your mind with puzzles you've never seen before, or leave you awestruck with realistic sets, we always want to improve what we offer.
That's what I'm afraid I sound like, but I want to make one thing clear: a ton of technology does not automatically make a room better; a low-tech rooms isn't automatically worse. I have played over 70 escape rooms and have seen a decent amount of what the industry has to offer. I have played some delightful, well-themed games that were primarily padlocks that were such a joy to play that I didn't even mind, just like I've played some mind-numbingly boring games filled to the brim with technology. As magical as technology can make a room, a tech-filled escape room without the puzzles and atmosphere to support it doesn't engage a group nearly as well as a more well-rounded game.
Here is my controversial escape room opinion: I kinda like combination locks. They can help ground the game and keep you on track. Sure, they're simple, but simple doesn't have to mean not fun. I've seen plenty of 'Innovators' find a way to make a minimal-tech room shine through storytelling and tricky puzzles, just like I've seen my fair share of 'Idiots' lazily put tech in a room. For example: vibration sensors are a thing. The worst games I've seen these in will have a piece of paper that says "knock on the table", which immediately results in something open. The Innovators are aware that other people have done things like that in the past and want to find fresh new ways to put technology like that to use. That's one of the reasons I like to play at other locations so much: by learning what's out there, we can start thinking about new possibilities for old tech.
I sincerely believe there's no absolute best kind of escape room, which is why Room Escape Fairfax offers a wide variety of games. You can trust that even if you're playing a slightly lower-tech room like Save the White House (which at the time of writing is receiving a full upgrade!), we'll still find ways to innovate. Games like Molly's Horror Room and The Frightful Feast have only a few combination locks each and our newest game, Bowl Voyage has zero. I don't think any of our games is objectively the best or worst: each offers a different experience. No matter your choice, you can be sure that our in-house creative team designed the kind of game we'd want to play and is always looking for new ways to participate in the evolution of these games that we love.

Karská smlouva (turecky Kars Antlaşması, rusky Карсский договор) je mírová smlouva, uzavřená 13. října 1921 v Karsu mezi zástupci Velkého národního shromáždění Turecka (které v roce 1923 vyhlásilo Tureckou republiku) a zástupci Sovětské Arménie, Sovětského Ázerbájdžánu a Sovětské Gruzie (které se v roce 1922 staly součástí Sovětského svazu), za účasti Sovětského Ruska. Touto smlouvou byla stanovena hranice mezi Tureckem a sovětským Zavkazskem. Tato hranice platí jako turecko-gruzínská, turecko-arménská a turecko-ázerbájdžánská hranice dodnes. Část Zakavkazska, která byla dříve součástí Ruské říše, se v důsledku Karské smlouvy stala součástí Turecka. Karská smlouva navazovala na Moskevskou smlouvu, uzavřenou mezi zástupci Velkého národního shromáždění Turecka a zástupci Sovětského Ruska 16. března 1921.

Signatáři

Za dočasnou tureckou vládu smlouvu podepsali Kâzım Karabekir, Veli Saltikgil, Muchtar Bej a velvyslanec Memduh Şevket Paša. Dalšími signatáři byli: sovětský velvyslanec Jakov Ganěckij, arménský ministr zahraničních věcí Askanaz Mravyan a  ministr vnitra Poghos Makintsyan, ázerbájdžánský ministr kontroly Behboud Šachtatinsky, gruzínský ministr armády a námořnictva  Šalva Eliava a gruzínský ministr zahraničí a financí Alexander Svanidze.

Podmínky
Smlouva znovupotvrdila podmínky v březnu uzavřené Moskevské smlouvy, kterou podepsali zástupci Velkého národního shromáždění Turecka a zástupci Sovětského Ruska. Určila hranice mezi novou Tureckou republikou a třemi zakavkazskými republikami.

Report: Esports Makes a Comeback at SEA Games 2021

Share on TwitterShare on LinkedInShare on Reddit
The SEA Games Federation recently approved four previously scrapped disciplines at a recent online meeting and will make a formal announcement next month, according to a report on a Vietnamese outlet, Saigon Phong Online. These disciplines include triathlon, jiu-jitsu, bowling, and esports.
The organizing nation, Vietnam had previously scrapped multiple disciplines from previous years' games citing budget concerns due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, appeals and lobbying from various national bodies and federations, particularly the Philippines has led to these changes.
A similar report on Vietnam Express International stated "Duong Vi Khoa, Vice President of the Vietnam Recreational Esport Association and Head of the Vietnam Esport delegation to the last SEA Games, has already said Dota 2, Arena of Valor, and Pro Evolution Soccer will be three of the six titles to be played at the games."
SEA Games 2021 will be hosted in Vietnam from Nov. 21 to Dec. 2, just months after the conclusion of the Tokyo Olympics, which had to be rescheduled from 2020 to 2021. This will be the second year in a row that the SEA Games will have esports as a medaled event.

In order to cast a targeted spell, meaning the spell has a specific target (not just an area like burning hands, or grease), the caster must have not only line of effect to the target, but also line of sight. Though Will knew exactly where Della was, and there was no obstruction between him and the flytrap, Della was wholly engulfed by the creature and thus, not within line of sight. Now, it's nice when our stupid mistakes end up failing so that we don't really ruin the reality of the narrative. I suspect, however, that Troy let me cast the spell, knowing that it was against the rules, because he just wanted to see me fail, yet again, on record. Well, you win this round, Lavallee. Who knew my terrible rolling would also immediately transfer to whomever I buffed with a spell?
I'm not quite done yet, though my part in this tale is over. I just want to add something here. Sometimes in doing research for rules that we screw up, I stumble into a reality check that frightens me looking to the future, and not just in Giantslayer, but in any Pathfinder game I play. This is one of those times. Did you know that the same rules I broke above also apply to channeling positive energy to heal? That's right. The next time the cleric (or paladin, or warpriest) in your party attempts to heal someone that's been swallowed whole, or pulled behind a closed door, or engulfed, or trapped on the business end of a Wall of Fire, they don't get the channel. That knowledge right there has the power to kill, and I'd hate to be the messenger on that one. Burning alive in the stomach of a giant wyrm, your bard is one hit point from death and the cleric goes, "I'm within 30 feet, right? I'll channel and at least keep you up this round." Your GM is like, "Very cool. Do it." What do you you do? Do you let them know that it's straight up illegal and that the acid damage this round kills the bard?
Yes, that's exactly what you do.
Alright, guys, thanks for putting up with our novice understanding of this great game. I'll be back the next time we cheat!
*Considering that "reading the rules of the game" would take approximately 400-500 hours, I understand why Matthew did not do it.
**The basic rules of spell casting are 37 pages long.

Easily match your clinet's existing branded promotional materials to complement existing digital and printed advertising media. Get the premium quality of these silk finished, light-diffusing films and bring your internally illuminated signs to the next level.
If you've got something you want to advertise, you'll do anything to catch your audience's attention. Sometimes, that means choosing bright colors for your sign or graphic, and other times, that means carefully selecting the right location for your sign. In some cases, it's as simple as picking the right materials to make your poster or graphic shine to the best of its ability. If you choose to use translucent vinyl, you'll already be halfway there.
If you're a bit new to the world of vinyl, vinyl wraps and crafting, your first impulse might be to assume something with a name like "translucent adhesive vinyl" is far too advanced for you to try, and you'd rather stick with the basics for now. But don't let the name intimidate you. Translucent vinyl is easy and convenient to use. Not only that, but it can also be the difference between a sign that grabs your audience's attention and one that fades into the background.
If translucent backlit vinyl sounds like it might be just the ticket for your sign, we want to empower you to feel confident enough to give it a try. Here's everything you'll need to know about backlit sign vinyl - what it is, why it's excellent and how you can incorporate it into your projects.
What Is Backlit Sign Vinyl?
Backlit vinyl is specially engineered to be translucent. While your initial instincts have you picturing this material as difficult to see and even washed out, the opposite is true. Because the vinyl is translucent, it catches the sun's natural light as it travels through, thus causing the colors and designs to stand out even more strongly than if the vinyl had been unlit. That makes any images or lettering stand out more clearly than a sign that doesn't have this feature.
Of course, the daytime hours are full of abundant natural light, so you aren't worried about how bold your graphics will look all day. But what happens during the night, when it's dark out? Will anyone be able to see your graphics then? Backlit vinyl has a solution for this as well. Many signs and graphics will employ light boxes, which provide a source of light immediately behind or underneath the sign. The vinyl then captures this light and uses it to shine brightly, even when there is no natural light around.
Because of this unique property of capturing light, backlit vinyl often seems like it's glowing from the inside out. During the day, this translucent vinyl looks extra bright and eye-popping. During the night, these signs will continue to shine and do their advertising work long after flat and unlit vinyl is no longer visible in the dark.
Backlit vinyl is also self-adhesive, making it extremely easy to use. All you need to do is stick it to the surface you intend to cover, which can be anything from glass to a wide range of other substrates. Additionally, translucent vinyl also offers a long-lasting matte finish that looks amazing, both lit and unlit, and no matter what setting it's in.
What Are the Features of Backlit Vinyl?
While at its core, translucent vinyl is not very different from ordinary vinyl, there is a significant difference: Your sign will be more noticeable in the first place because it's backlit. While unlit vinyl has a limited amount of advertising power because potential customers can only see it during daylight hours, translucent vinyl can keep advertising and spreading your message all night long. No matter how dark it gets, your graphics will still be visible to everyone who drives or walks past.
Even during the day, when ordinary graphics are plainly visible, there's a lot to love about backlit vinyl. While unlit vinyl looks flat and even dull under the sunlight or streetlights, translucent vinyl pops. It doesn't just sit by the side of the road, content to be looked at if a passerby happens to glance up at it. It stands out from its surroundings and grabs viewers' attention.
Let's imagine there's a crowded street somewhere filled with pedestrians all trying to get somewhere in a hurry. If billboards, posters, signs and graphics line that street, it's far too much for any one person to notice them all. The busy pedestrian might see one or two specific images, but the rest will pass by in a blur that never really make a mark in the person's brain. Now imagine that out of all those signs, only one is backlit. Which one do you think is the most likely to make a mark on the person passing by? If you guessed the backlit sign, you guessed right.
As an advertiser and a person with a message or a product to share, it isn't enough to be one of the other hundreds of voices clamoring for people's attention. Instead, you need to take that next step to be not just another voice, but to be the one that stands out above the rest. Backlit vinyl is one product that will help you and your message do exactly this.
What Can You Do With Backlit Sign Vinyl?
OK, so we know translucent vinyl is a great choice based on its visibility no matter the setting or time of day. But what can you do with it? What are some of the most common applications?
In most cases, translucent vinyl is less for small-time decorating and more for serious advertising projects. We're talking about billboards, architectural graphics, illuminated signs and other large-scale advertising ventures. Think of the major advertisements you see on the sides of stores, restaurants and bars. Anywhere you can picture a large graphic that's looking to grab the attention of passersby, this is an ideal application for backlit sign vinyl.
Translucent vinyl is ideal for advertising your product, your brand and your message to a wide audience and earning recognition. When it comes to large-scale advertising campaigns, no material does the job better than backlit sign vinyl.
What Are the Benefits of Translucent Vinyl?
If you choose to use backlit vinyl for your advertising campaign, you're sure to get noticed. In addition to the perks of a sign or advertisement that looks spectacular, here are just a few of the benefits you're likely to begin experiencing.
Helping your business stand out: If you're competing against other similar organizations, and your business is the only one with a lit sign, it isn't hard to imagine yours will be the one people remember.
Reinforcing your brand identity: Even if someone doesn't shop with you as a direct result of your sign, they'll be more likely to remember who you are and gain a general sense of what your brand is about. When they eventually do buy something, they'll be more likely to choose you over an unknown brand.
Increasing your customer base: Some people might already be in the market for whatever you're selling, so when they see your advertisement, it might inspire them to make a purchase.
Encouraging customer loyalty: If someone has visited you, bought from you or tried your services in the past, it's possible they've since forgotten. Seeing your advertisement and noticing it out of all the other signs and graphics out there, however, are likely to help customers remember and bring them back for subsequent visits.
Backlit self adhesive vinyl are the ideal tools to use in designing the interior or exterior of your client's retail store or windows and is an incredible marketing communication tool. Use these films to enhance your business and show your customers just how it's done. Let's face it: when you're able to show off how these films can be used to make an attratcive and well-made sign, you'll help your business stand out from the competition, increase your customer flow and turnover immensely, while re-enforcing your brand identity to keep customers coming back time after time.
Designed to increase sales, control customer flow or trigger a call to action, Backlit self adhesive vinyl can be produced for shops, bars or restaurants. The applications are endless. We'll work with you to define exactly what your location demands from custom sizes to adhesive backing and mounting with different material.
Have you decided translucent vinyl is the route you want to take with your upcoming advertising campaign? We think this is an excellent choice. Not only is backlit vinyl highly effective at sharing your story with the world, but it's also straightforward to use.
Before you get excited and start rushing into your project, however, it's essential to think things through. When it comes to the world of backlit vinyl, you'll need to consider many factors that will all have a bearing on the exact type of vinyl you choose.
By asking yourself questions like these, you can begin to narrow down the precise type of vinyl that will be best for your application. Before you buy vinyl and certainly before you start getting ready to apply it, ask yourself how much money you're prepared to spend, where you're going to be applying the vinyl, how long you want it to last and how important color is to you. By doing this, you'll be much happier with your result, as it will help you achieve your intended goals much better than if you hadn't asked these questions.
If you're considering using translucent vinyl for a project, these are the questions you'll need to stop and ask yourself.
1. How Large Is Your Budget?
Translucent vinyl isn't a single homogenous category. There are many different types of vinyl within this overarching label, and each one will come at a different price point. When it comes to deciding which one is right for you, you'll want to ask yourself exactly how much you're interested in spending.
If your budget is more limited, you might decide on a calendered translucent film. This variety will not last as long, but if your application is only temporary, this may not be a problem. If you have more money to spend, you might choose a cast vinyl, which will last longer and can cover more complex surfaces.
2. What Is Your Ideal Vinyl Lifespan?
How long do you intend to run your advertisement? Are you only planning to leave it up for a week? A month? A year? What about 10 years? While this might initially seem like a question for the future, it's crucial to have at least a vague idea of how long you want your graphic to last, as this will determine which type of vinyl will be best to use.
If you're only looking to use translucent vinyl for a short-term application, such as a poster that will come down again before too long, you can easily choose calendered translucent vinyl. If you need something that's going to be a bit more long-lasting, cast vinyl is your best bet.
3. How Important Is the Color Scheme?
Are you looking to match the colors of existing advertising? If so, you'll need to give careful thought to achieving and maintaining this exact color. For vinyl that needs to maintain an exact color without fading or changing color over time, cast vinyl will be the ideal choice.
If colors are something you can be a bit more flexible with, however, you can feel free to use cast vinyl. These translucent films still come in a wide range of colors, but they are somewhat less adept at maintaining an exact color over time.
4. What Are You Applying the Vinyl To?
Depending on the substrate you plan to apply the vinyl to, you'll want to consider whether a wet or a dry application is more appropriate. Both calendered and cast vinyl can use wet and dry applications, but the process is different and is something you should consider ahead of time.
Additionally, you'll want to look at what the surface of the substrate looks like. Is it flat or only slightly curved? If so, you can easily use a calendered translucent film. If the surface is complex, curved sharply or corrugated, you'll find cast film adheres much better to the surface and is the ideal choice.
5. What Is Your Purpose in Installing This Vinyl Graphic?
Are you looking to create an advertisement that lets plenty of light through and is clearly visible during any time of day? In that case, translucent vinyl is certainly the way to go. Are you looking for an ordinary graphic, however? Is light not a concern? If this sounds more accurate, you may not need to bother with translucent vinyl at all. Choose an ordinary vinyl instead, and this will work just as well.
If you're looking to wow crowds and draw attention to your sign or advertisement no matter what time of day it is, we think you should invest in a backlit sign vinyl graphic. For its eye-catching power and memorable appearance, there's no way to beat translucent vinyl, especially if you're looking to make an impression. From calendered to cast varieties and options that come in every shade of the rainbow, there's a style of translucent vinyl that will work for everyone.
Choose from spectacular options like 3M Scotchcal 3630 Translucent Backlit Sign Vinyl, or perhaps ORACAL 850. And of course, if you're looking for cast vinyl to cover an irregular surface or to stand against the test of time, you may want to consider either Avery UC900 or Avery PR800. Any of these types of translucent backlit vinyl would make a stunning choice for your advertisement.

Japan, U.S. Mull Holding Security Talks Online amid Omicron Surge
Politics Dec 24, 2021
Tokyo, Dec. 24 (Jiji Press)--The Japanese and U.S. governments are considering holding a planned meeting of their foreign and defense ministers online, considering the rapid spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus in the United States, informed sources said Friday.
The so-called two-plus-two security talks were initially planned to be held in person in the United States on Jan. 7. Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi are now expected to forgo their U.S. visits.
Through the in-person meeting, the two countries aimed to display their strong ties.
Hayashi was also planning to attend a Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference in New York ahead of the two-plus-two talks. But he is now looking at the possibility of online participation.

IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and the SEC
by Britney Pay | Jan 15, 2016
The International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, were put in place by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as a way to level the playing field in global markets. By setting the same standards for reporting and financial transparency, the IFRS can help to make communication, comparison, competition, and trade easier on an international level.
In their own words from their official site, "Our mission is to develop International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that bring transparency, accountability and efficiency to financial markets around the world. Our work serves the public interest by fostering trust, growth and long-term financial stability in the global economy." This is done through their three-tiered approach of transparency, accountability, and efficiency.
The only real way for new corporations to make it big is to make themselves available for public investing and trading. Being a key player on the stock market is best done when a company is willing to be transparent about assets, trends in the company, and market information that is critical to their role in the global market.
When polled, many people working on the stock exchange feel that this is the number one thing missing in the economy of this country. Companies that have not adopted the IFRS are not held to these same standards, and the lack of transparency can be very hard on those researching investment opportunities.
One main tenet of the IFRS is to ensure that all companies adopt the principle of being transparent and honest. Companies that abide by these standards will be easier for potential investors to take an interest in with knowledge and information to back up their decision making process.
This country has seen some disgraceful examples of what happens when corporations are not made to be accountable for their mistakes and poor judgement in certain areas. This is something that will always happen, but the IFRS is there to make sure that people are aware of how a company will handle such situations before they invest in those stocks.
There are a few ways that they do this, but the main item that offers the most promise for accountability is that the "standards provide information that is needed to hold management to account. As a source of globally comparable information, IFRS is also of vital importance to regulators around the world." Compliance with these regulations will ensure the right kind of accountability in most situations.
By creating a set of standards that has to be met by all companies across the board, the IFRS help companies be more efficient. Their mission statement says: "For businesses, the use of a single, trusted accounting language lowers the cost of capital and reduces international reporting costs."
Having a good DMS program set to allocate all needed information and documents to the right places will help any company stay within compliance of INFRS and will handle it all in a very efficient way. Organization is the key to success in many different corporate arenas, and these standards aid in this goal of better organization and increased efficiency.
SEC Might Support IFRS
Recently, the IFRS made waves in the media outlets when the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, announced that they were considering supporting the IFRS. Accounting Today ran a story stating that: "Securities and Exchange Commission chair Mary Jo White said the SEC is considering a recommendation from SEC chief accountant James Schnurr that would allow for the supplemental use of International Financial Reporting Standards by U.S. companies in addition to their U.S. GAAP financials."
The United States is currently one of the major world economies that has not officially jumped on board with the IFRS. Many companies based in the US have adopted the standards as it is a good way to boost their place in the global market, but it is not required by law.
This decision by the SEC could possible move many more corporations in the country to take on the IFRS on at least a supplemental basis. Other experts in the industry are predicting that this could make a permanent change in the way the country views and utilizes these global standards. Many of these same experts feel that the adoption of such transparent and accountability enhancing standards could actually strengthen the economy in this country.
It is important to note that for many companies, the switch to meeting compliance with these standards would take a lot of time and would require a substantial financial sacrifice. The ability to function on a wider scale such as participating in the international market would surely make the sacrifice more of an investment, but it is still important to remember. This is not something that every corporation is automatically set up to handle. The push to make these standards more main stream could cause a financial strain on many companies that might not be able to recover fast enough to enjoy the benefits of trading in a global field. This is a very real danger that has to be carefully considered before such standards are made into corporate law in the country.

Esteban Cortázar channels feminine flamenco as the brand pursues a new pop-up strategy
Robin Driver
today Oct 2, 2018
A few metres away from the Odéon theatre, flamenco rhythms could be heard echoing through the halls of Paris' School of Medicine. It was the Spring/Summer 2019 runway of Colombian designer Esteban Cortázar, who returned to the official Paris Fashion Week calendar this season after an experimental run in New York. Back on home turf, he presented his most mature collection to date, a pastel-toned fiesta channelling miscegenation, sensuality and his latin roots.
Esteban Cortázar, Spring/Summer 2019 - Pixelformula
The models were like a breath of fresh air, as light as the transparent gauze and silk which hung from their bodies as though carelessly draped there to reveal bare décolletage. A first series of looks in powdery, golden tones gave way to structured tops, followed by a study in black where there was even space for a touch of sportswear, explored through reimagined cycling shorts. The garments then gradated from white through different pastel tones in a collection that ended up resembling a watercolour of a sunset. "When I was little, my father always said that you have to try and find nature, so here I'm trying to contemplate a sunset, or a sunrise – to understand these colours and explore them. They're there, they go unnoticed and we only have to stop and look at them," explained an emotional Cortázar backstage after the show.
The collection's running theme was sensuality, with feminine silhouettes and dresses designed to accentuate the curves of the female body sharing the catwalk with pieces finished with fringes and asymmetric cuts that gave glimpses of exposed midriffs and never-ending legs. The beautifully worked nets and mesh on the clothes almost outshone the collection's exquisite accessories, from the hoop bags and horseshoe-inspired belts to the elaborate flat nomad sandals. All of this was presented to the rhythm of "Malamente", the hit from the musical sensation of the moment: Rosalía, aka "the Beyoncé of flamenco." Cortázar is a big fan of hers: "it's the music that I've been listening to all summer, and it's part of the inspiration for this collection," he said, alluding to the stamp of a flamenco heel – "tap, tap."
After a brief experiment showing in New York for a season, the Colombian designer has returned to his roots. "I've lived in Paris for 10 years and it's where my brand is based, as well as my team. New York was more like an invitation," he told FashionNetwork.com, highlighting his intentions to continue presenting his collections in the French capital; "In New York, there's more business, things go faster and people don't pay attention to the clothes in the same way. It was a great experience but I prefer showing in Paris. I love the environment for creating runways and the way in which audiences retain information," he concluded, smiling.
Aside from being the city in which he built his brand, Paris is also the place that shot the Colombian designer into the spotlight. He was tasked with bidding farewell to iconic concept store Colette before it closed, setting up a shop window paying homage to the Colombian tiendita in the middle of Rue Saint Honoré, but he also boasted a dedicated space in Le Bon Marché last summer, a pop-up themed around the magic realism so beloved by Latin American authors. "It was a space that allowed me to create a world around the collection, show the essence of the brand and present it to new customers so that they could discover where the collection comes from, as well as the essence of who I am," he explained to FashionNetwork.com.
In fact, these pop-up projects are at the heart of the brand's current strategy. "We're planning pop-ups like that with different stores around the world. We're doing one for New Year's in Cartagena (Colombia)," said Cortázar, promising that it will stock more men's clothes – perhaps a hint that, one day, we might yet see a full menswear line from the brand. "Furthermore, the pop-ups and capsules allow us to work more with sportswear, with the aim of expanding our collections," he added. The idea is to produce clothes dedicated to each pop-up, which in Cartagena will be a mix of Colombian tiendita and beach bar. "The pop-up idea plays into the the idea of collaboration. I find it fascinating to work with different teams, on something which isn't static, which travels. It's not easy and requires a lot of work to manufacture everything, but I love doing it."
Esteban Cortázar is an independent brand, driven by the enthusiasm of an emerging talent and the control of a consummate professional. The label is following a gentle but steady growth strategy with desirable designs that play off the designer's latin roots. The future looks bright for the young Colombian – as bright as the sunrise of his flamenco dresses.
