How to spend your time before the Watch Dogs release date?
2013-10-17by Tanya Knysh 5184 views
Yesterday we reported that Watch Dogs release date is delayed until the next year, and if you were dreaming about this game, now you have to wait several months. We prepared for you a list of games and TV shows that have some similarities with Watch Dogs, so you can spend this time pleasantly.
Watch Dogs game brings us in the American city, in which everything is controlled by the powerful computer system - ctOS. Using the abilities of this system, the government is following each your step and can predict some murders. The main game's protagonist is Aiden - a hacker, who has an access to the ctOS and so is able to find the criminals before they have done something illegal. The game's plot seems to be the most interesting side of Watch Dogs and is very unique at first sight, but in fact it is similar to other media products. Let's find out, to which ones.
The first thing that comes to the mind is Person of Interest TV show. It is an American crime drama created by Jonathan Nolan. Jonathan is the brother of Christopher Nolan and the one, who took part in the creation of several the most popular brother's movies, for example, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. In this TV show he is working with J. J. Abrams, who is known because of the Star Trek series' reboot, Lost and Fringe TV shows.
In the Person of Interest we meet the Machine - a great system that controls every person in the country and is able to predict the mass and even single murders. The system is under governmental control. There are two main characters in the show - a programmer, who has created the Machine and is able to control it and get its data, and a super agent, who is analyzing the received information and is trying to find the potential victims or criminals. It goes without saying that in Watch Dogs game these two protagonists are combined in one person - Aiden, and the game's ctOS looks like the duplicate of the show's Machine. And even government in both project plays a sort of evil force.
Person of Interest started in 2011, and at the end of September 2013 the third season of this show started. And while the Watch Dogs release date is delayed, you have plenty of time to evaluate this interesting project.
And if you can't imagine your life without gaming, we would like to present you a short list of the games that have similarities with Watch Dogs. The first one is Remember Me from Capcom that has been released this summer. Here the powerful organization is able to control people, using their brain and memories, and the main character - a girl - has a unique ability to hack the people's minds.
The second game that is often compared with Watch Dogs is GTA 5. In the last one the gamer also gets a huge open-world and lots of activities to do, but here he plays a criminal, but not the hero.
An interesting system, that allows other gamers to influence on your play and will be featured in Watch Dogs, also is presented in Dark Souls action-RPG. And the other one anticipated Ubisoft's project with a little bit badass protagonist and great open-world - Assassin's Creed IV - is not delayed and will be released at the end of October. Enjoy!

Scores Killed As Nigerian Air Force Bombs Terrorists
JNJ GLOBAL GIST NEWS
Scores of terrorists have been killed on the fringe of Lake Chad in the northern part of Borno State, northern Nigeria by fighter jets of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
JNJGLOBALGIST.COM learned that the terrorists fell to the bombardment of their hideouts by NAF jet fighters over the weekend.
This online news platform understands that operational vehicles belonging to the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) fighters hidden under trees were also destroyed in the attacks.
NAF's Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola disclosed this in a statement.
The statement reads as thus; "The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed an ISWAP terrorists' hideout and neutralised some of their fighters at Arrinna Ciki on the fringe of the Lake Chad in the northern part of Borno State.
"This was accomplished through air strikes conducted on November 1 and 2, 2019, following intelligence reports indicating that the terrorists were using the settlement as a staging area to launch attacks against own forces.
"The airstrike on November 1 was initiated when a NAF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, on confirmatory reconnaissance mission, spotted some ISWAP vehicles under some trees in the area.
"Accordingly, the ATF scrambled its fighter jets to attack the location, recording successful strikes to immobilise the vehicles. Similarly, a follow-up attack was executed on November 2 after significant activity was observed in another part of the settlement.
"This occasioned the detailing of attack aircraft to engage the identified areas, resulting in the destruction of some terrorists' structures as well as the neutralisation of some of their fighters.
"The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the Northeast."

Impeachment Bill
Congressman Delgado
Congressman Antonio Delgado, D-19, today co-sponsored an article of impeachment against President Trump, citing incitement of insurrection.
The article of impeachment, authored by Reps. Cicilline, Raskin, and Lieu, has been co-sponsored by over 200 congressmen.
"On Jan. 6, the President incited a violent insurrection of the Capitol while Congress sought to uphold its constitutional duty to certify election results," said Delgado.
"Today, I joined more than 200 of my colleagues in introducing an article of impeachment against President Trump. Protecting our democracy from ongoing threats requires swift action."

Come on he leaves office in 9 days. These people really hate Trump. They are afraid he will win in 2024. Some day the situation will reverse, then you will really hear these people whine.

This latest stunt of his just proves how unhinged and dangerous he really is.
And furthermore I AM NOT stupid.

I am very glad to hear that Rep. Delgado is co-sponsoring a bill to impeach a president who will be leaving in eight days. Perhaps he could further earn his $174,000 a year salary by enacting legislation to eradicate smallpox and denounce Kaiser Wilhelm.
On the other hand, the more time spent by Delgado and other Democrats in political posturing, the less time they have to make our lives more miserable with gluttonous taxes and oppressive regulations.
Bimpster January 13, 2021 at 11:53 pm
Delgado swore an oath to protect and defend their Democracy and not the Constitution. Poor guy doesn't really have a clue and is out of his league.

Titulární biskup je biskupem katolické či pravoslavné církve, který nespravuje skutečnou diecézi, ač byl řádně vysvěcen na biskupa. Stejně jako u diecézních biskupů existují titulární arcibiskupové.

Charakteristika
Titulární biskupové působí jako pomocní biskupové, jako úředníci římské kurie nebo v diplomatických službách Svatého stolce, případně plní jiná speciální poslání, uložená jim buď papežem nebo biskupskou konferencí.

Tito biskupové nesou titul staré, dnes již neexistující (zaniklé) diecéze. Ty leží většinou v oblastech, jež byly v době pozdní antiky křesťanské, dnes jsou nicméně islámské, kupř. v severní Africe a Malé Asii. Existují však i zaniklé evropské diecéze, jejichž tituly se biskupům propůjčují, např. v Čechách leželo biskupství litomyšlské, zaniklé v husitských válkách (titul biskup litomyšlský nosil v letech 1982 až 2010 Jaroslav Škarvada, pomocný biskup pražský, od 21. května 2016 je jím Pavel Konzbul, pomocný biskup brněnský). Římskokatolická církev má asi 2 000 titulárních biskupství, ne všechna bývají ovšem propůjčována. A další mají též východní katolické církve (např. maronitská, řeckokatolické církve a další).

Historie
Vznik instituce titulárního biskupství je svázán s dobou, kdy muslimové v 7. a 8. století dobývali křesťanské státy Východu, Afriky a Španělska. Biskupové, přinuceni k opuštění svých diecézí, po odchodu do křesťanských oblastí pomáhali tamním ordinářům. Doufajíce v brzký návrat na pro křesťany dočasně ztracená území, jmenovali papežové i po jejich smrti nástupce, dočasně jim zadávajíce pomocnou funkci v existujících diecézích či plnění různých jiných poslání. Onen stav trval stále déle a po porážce křížových výprav se ukázalo, že soupeření s islámem potrvá ještě dlouho.

Od 14. století se biskupové ordináři, potřebují-li světícího biskupa, obracejí s žádostí ke Svatému stolci. Vytvořil se zvyk jmenování nesídelních biskupů s tituly neexistujících diecézí, pomáhajících v práci biskupům residenčním. Takový biskup bez diecéze býval pak nazýván episcopus in partibus infidelium (biskup v krajích nevěřících [uchvácených nevěřícími]).

Titulární diecéze
Teprve roku 1882 papež Lev XIII. zavedl označení episcopus titularis (titulární biskup). Titulární biskupové jsou členy místních biskupských konferencí.

PINAC expands police accountability and citizen journalism education
byMavenPR
Empowering people to photograph and record abuses of power
SEATTLE -- PINAC, a.k.a PhotographyIsNotACrime.com, is now ampliyfying its citizen-driven police accountability effort through the digital media coalition Maven (ticker symbol MVEN).
"It has become increasingly difficult for independent journalists to survive in today's landscape of social media controls," says founder Carlos Miller, a veterans journalist and author of The Citizen Journalist's Photography Handbook. "Maven changes all of that. On Maven, PINAC is part of something bigger -- a coalition of credible, independent publishers. I'm looking forward to growing PINAC bigger and better than ever with the support of Maven."
Since 2007, PINAC has encouraged citizens to participate in police accountability by photographing and recording misuse of power and by educating citizens on how to obtain public records. The channel features citizen-sourced stories, videos and photos of public-sector abuses of power.
The channel is accompanied by a strong social media following of nearly 270,000.
Maven CEO James Heckman said the addition of PINAC highlights two key facts about Maven. "First, our innovative publishing tools, audience engagement focus and advertising strength provide independent publishers a platform on which they can thrive in a world where that is becoming very difficult," he said. "Second, Maven is bringing together experts, like Carlos, from all across the spectrum. We are now home to both PINAC and Blue Lives Matters. That illustrates the breadth of the coalition we're building across our 30-plus content verticals."
Maven is a coalition of mavens operating on a shared digital publishing, advertising and distribution platform, unified under a single media brand. Based in Seattle, Maven is publicly traded under the ticker symbol MVEN.

US sanctions against Turkey contempt for int'l law: Iran
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has said the U.S. move to sanction Turkey is "a display of its addiction to sanctions and contempt for international law."
Tuesday December 15 2020 01:19 pm
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Dec. 15 condemned U.S. sanctions against Turkey over Ankara's acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems as "contempt for international law."
"U.S. addiction to sanctions and contempt for international law at full display again. We strongly condemn recent U.S. sanctions against Turkey and stand with its people and government," Zarif tweeted.
Zarif also used the hashtag "#NeighborsFirst."
U.S. addiction to sanctions and contempt for international law at full display again.
We strongly condemn recent U.S. sanctions against Turkey and stand with its people and government.#NeighborsFirst
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) December 15, 2020
Tehran's criticism came after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Turkey over its purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defense system.
The sanctions, coming under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), target Turkey's Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), including its head İsmail Demir and three other officials.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement that the SSB knowingly engaged in a significant transaction with Rosoboronexport, Russia's main arms export entity, by procuring the S-400s.
"The sanctions include a ban on all U.S. export licenses and authorizations to SSB and an asset freeze and visa restrictions on Dr. İsmail Demir, SSB's president, and other SSB officers," he added.

Q: MySQL Date range incorrect result obtained - Query ignores the specified range I have a query that involves searching database over a range of 30 days. Queries, both with correct output and wrong output are below:

The first query is producing correct results whereas the second query is producing incorrect results. Even if I use a date in the past as the range, I still receive the same Incorrect Output. Its as if the query is completely ignoring the date range specification. So this case of ignoring the date range specification seems to be the problem.
How can I make the query "see" and "obey" the date range specification and actually receive the Expected Output for the 2nd query listed above?

A: I solved it myself using a totally different method.

A: I don't know what your data looks like, but I suspect your LEFT JOIN customers_orders_link is to blame.  If you only want to tally COUNT() and SUM() when the conditions of that table are met, it should be a standard JOIN in place of a LEFT JOIN.

One fantastic piece of work. Thank you so much Rob, you have made incredible contributions to the P3D community in the past and continue to do work for us for which we are all grateful.
If you want to have a fully capable 3.1 system (that you could install from scratch in the future) the 9.8 gb download is that as well as having the capability to update the client from 3.0 to 3.1. Go ahead and download the 9.8 gb and save it. Go to control panel and uninstall the client only. Unzip the downloaded file to a location of your choice. There well be several files created, one of them will be client.msi which when your run it will reinstall the 3.1 client and you will have to re-license but that is somewhat painless. There should be no issue with scenery, addons etc. In the case of Orbx (If you have any of their products) you will have to download their latest objectflow.dll from the Orbx website. I think (but not sure) you can use FTX central to accomplish that also. In my case I did run into a problem in the scenery library with a addon (not a very common one) which caused some issues with 3.1. It took me awhile to figure it out but once I found and removed that entry 3.1 worked perfectly.
The 9.8 Gb is the full up package however when you unzip it it will create the client.msi as well as scenery.msi etc. files. If you already have 3.0 installed just uninstall the 3.0 client using control panel then use the unzipped 3.1 client.msi and reinstall the client.
I'm not sure about quality but I am fairly certain my FPS have leaped up quite a bit. I like to run three monitors with XP but my FPS always tanked to 15 or so. With this driver they have stayed up in the 40's. I might be hallucinating but seems like the FPS has improved for me.
Update works fine for me.
The reason I ask is I am having the same misunderstanding and have not figured it out yet.
Please tell us how you fixed the problem.
"Assuming you can follow the setup instructions, which is quite an assumption because they appear to be tailored to FSX, not P3D, and possibly include irrelevant and incorrect remnants from the v5 setup instructions, the simobjects.cfg entry that was entered in my config was incorrect. It pointed to a non-existent "Aircraft" folder in the P3D main folder. Once I changed this reference to the correct folder in the main MyTraffic folder at the "C" level on my system, I then had MT AI traffic. One shouldn't have to go through this with payware." Same experience here. After all this time I certainly expected a much cleaner installation process. It took me awhile to get it all sorted out on P3D 2.5. The installation instructions are as clear as mud.
Very impressive. Thank you Mr. X (Whoever you are), we are grateful for your outstanding work.
Hi Stephen, I need to be cleared up on something. I have used the OpusFSI weather system for some time and it works well. I have never tried the camera systems or the TrackIR interface so I thought today might be a good day to experiment. In the manual for OpusFSI it clearly states that the TrackIR Advanced Tab and Games MUST show "OpusFSI" as an available option. I am using TrackIR 5.2.2, have updated the supported games list numerous times but the only one I ever see is Opus and never OpusFSI. I only briefly tried connecting Opus with TrackIR with no success but I was concerned that not seeing the OpusFSI entry in TrackIR might be the problem so I thought I had better ask about that before proceeding with trying to find out why they are not connecting.

Netra Bikram Chand's party is a raging fire which, if left uncontrolled, can burn everything to ashes
The people are still haunted by the trauma of the civil war, and the only option forward is dialogue.

The occurrence of regular blasts in and around Kathmandu contradicts the claim that Nepal has entered an era of peace and stability following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006. These gestures of dissatisfaction from a small section of the then Maoist rebels raises the question of whether the country has been freed from violence. Handling the Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal requires dialogue. In the initial days after its inception, Chand's politics didn't seem to be as radical as it is these days. At a time when a majority of the people still question the need for his radical politics even after the nation has a new republican constitution to regulate it, Chand's leadership feels the necessity to alter the mainstream political system and its actors.
With its agenda unclear, his so-called revolution stands in opposition to what the Nepali people sacrificed to gain a post-Maoist peaceful society. Now, peace is being threatened time and again due to a series of bombings and blasts. They have fuelled a sense of terror and horror among the public. The recent blasts—with four lives lost in the heart of Kathmandu—further reflect the peak of its aggressiveness.
Keeping in mind the security threats from the Chand-led rebel group, the government outlawed it as a rebel gang. Citing the reason that the Chand side rejected frequent proposals for talks for a peaceful settlement of the issue, the government took the giant step of disqualifying it as a party and labelling it as a criminal gang. Pursuant to the decision to outlaw the outfit, the government started capturing Chand's cadres across the country. This turned out to be a provocative element to incite Chand, who is also known as Biplab, leading to a series of blasts in the city.
The Nepali Congress, as a witness to the rebellious nature of the Maoist party since the beginning, opposed the move by the government. It pointed to a potential civil war as the move could anger the group, which is known to be equipped with arms. To a large extent, the Nepali Congress is right about its prediction. The government's tug of war with Biplab will only be settled through dialogue or the readiness for a bloody war.
Baburam Bhattarai and Mohan Baidhya are two leaders closest in line with Biplab. It's strange for Nepali citizens to see factions within the party that fought the war under the same language of 'change'. Bhattarai experimented with his political ideology with the formation of the Naya Shakti Party and now his party has merged with Upendra Yadav's Sanghiya Samajbadi Party-Nepal to seek a compatible political theory that fits both their ideas about an alternative discourse.
On the other hand, Baidhya seems rigid in his ideology of the Cultural Revolution. Yet, both factions preach peaceful and non-violent resistance against what they call the 'corrupt' and 'fascist' communist-led current government. Oftentimes, they are found suggesting to Chand to forsake the radical path for it is not as relevant currently in Nepali politics as it was during the war.
The bloody war cost many innocent lives. It remained a traumatic memory for all Nepalis. Any movement that resorts to the same grotesque form of war is unacceptable. Promises of peace and stability were made at the end of the war and after the sacrifice of over 17,000 lives. Sadly, these promises seem distant, following repetitive strikes, terrifying blasts and the daily fear for life that people live through. The tug of war between Biplab and the Nepal Communist Party-led government has threatened the people's peace of mind and the state's stability. The verdict of the common people demands an end to the perpetual wrestling between the two. It also necessitates the start of a dialogue, regardless of its immediate challenges, because the Nepali people have already sensed that Chand's party is a raging fire that, if not controlled in time, can burn everything to ashes by taking the path of civil war.

Greatest Holy Leaf
Banishing from her mind and heart every earthly attachment, renouncing the very idea of matrimony, she, standing resolutely by the side of a Brother whom she was to aid and serve so well, arose to dedicate her life to the service of her Father's glorious Cause. Whether in the management of the affairs of His Household in which she excelled, or in the social relationships which she so assiduously cultivated in order to shield both Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá, whether in the unfailing attention she paid to the every day needs of her Father, or in the traits of generosity, of affability and kindness, which she manifested, the Greatest Holy Leaf had by that time abundantly demonstrated her worthiness to rank as one of the noblest figures intimately associated with the life-long work of Bahá'u'lláh.
Shoghi Effendi, Bahá'í Administration, p. 189
Great as had been her sufferings ever since her infancy, the anguish of mind and heart which the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh occasioned, nerved her, as never before, to a resolve which no upheaval could bend and which her frail constitution belied. Amidst the dust and heat of the commotion which that faithless and rebellious company engendered she found herself constrained to dissolve ties of family relationship, to sever long-standing and intimate friendships, to discard lesser loyalties for the sake of her supreme allegiance to a Cause she had loved so dearly and had served so well.
Shoghi Effendi, Bahá'í Administration, p. 190-191
Greatest Holy Leaf, ranking as foremost among the members of her sex in the Bahá'í Dispensation . . .
Shoghi Effendi, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 190
It would take me too long to make even a brief allusion to those incidents of her life, each of which eloquently proclaims her as a daughter, worthy to inherit that priceless heritage bequeathed to her by Bahá'u'lláh. A purity of life that reflected itself in even the minutest details of her daily occupations and activities; a tenderness of heart that obliterated every distinction of creed, class and color; a resignation and serenity that evoked to the mind the calm and heroic fortitude of the Báb; a natural fondness of flowers and children that was so characteristic of Bahá'u'lláh; an unaffected simplicity of manners; an extreme sociability which made her accessible to all; a generosity, a love, at once disinterested and indiscriminating, that reflected so clearly the attributes of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's character; a sweetness of temper; a cheerfulness that no amount of sorrow could becloud; a quiet and unassuming disposition that served to enhance a thousandfold the prestige of her exalted rank; a forgiving nature that instantly disarmed the most unyielding enemy -- these rank among the outstanding attributes of a saintly life which history will acknowledge as having been endowed with a celestial potency that few of the heroes of the past possessed.
That her sensitive heart instantaneously reacted to the slightest injury that befell the least significant of creatures, whether friend or foe, no one who knew her well could doubt. And yet such was the restraining power of her will -- a will which her spirit of self-renunciation so often prompted her to suppress -- that a superficial observer might well be led to question the intensity of her emotions or to belittle the range of her sympathies. In the school of adversity she, already endowed by Providence with the virtues of meekness and fortitude, learned through the example and exhortations of the Great Sufferer, who was her Father, the lesson she was destined to teach the great mass of His followers for so long after Him.
The ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, so tragic in its suddenness, was to her a terrific blow, from the effects of which she never completely recovered. To her He, whom she called " Aqa," had been a refuge in times of adversity. On Him she had been led to place her sole reliance. In Him she had found ample compensation for the bereavements she had suffered, the desertions she had witnessed, the ingratitude she had been shown by friends and kindreds. No one could ever dream that a woman of her age, so frail in body, so sensitive of heart, so loaded with the cares of almost eighty years of incessant tribulation, could so long survive so shattering a blow. And yet history, no less than the annals of our immortal Faith, shall record for her a share in the advancement and consolidation of the world-wide community which the hand of 'Abdu'l-Bahá had helped to fashion, which no one among the remnants of His Family can rival.
The decline of her precious life had by that time set in, and the burden of advancing age was beginning to becloud the radiance of her countenance. Forgetful of her own self, disdaining rest and comfort, and undeterred by the obstacles that still stood in her path, she, acting as the honoured hostess to a steadily increasing number of pilgrims who thronged 'Abdu'l-Bahá's residence from both the East and the West, continued to display those same attributes that had won her, in the preceding phases of her career, so great a measure of admiration and love.
The outbreak of the Great War gave her yet another opportunity to reveal the true worth of her character and to release the latent energies of her heart. The residence of 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Haifa was besieged, all throughout that dreary conflict, by a concourse of famished men, women and children whom the maladministration, the cruelty and neglect of the officials of the Ottoman Government had driven to seek an alleviation to their woes. From the hand of the Greatest Holy Leaf, and out of the abundance of her heart, these hapless victims of a contemptible tyranny, received day after day unforgettable evidences of a love they had learned to envy and admire. Her words of cheer and comfort, the food, the money, the clothing she freely dispensed, the remedies which, by a process of her own, she herself prepared and diligently applied -- all these had their share in comforting the disconsolate, in restoring sight to the blind, in sheltering the orphan, in healing the sick, and in succoring the homeless and the wanderer. She had reached, amidst the darkness of the war days, the high water-mark of her spiritual attainments. Few, if any, among the unnumbered benefactors of society whose privilege has been to allay, in various measures, the hardships and sufferings entailed by that Fierce Conflict, gave as freely and as disinterestedly as she did; few exercised that undefinable influence upon the beneficiaries of their gifts.
You should, however, take courage and resign to the will of God when you see what the Greatest Holy Leaf had to face during her life. All you may suffer is nothing compared to what she had to endure; and yet how joyous and hopeful she used always to be!
Shoghi Effendi, Bahiyyih Khanum, p. 87
. . . the Greatest Holy Leaf, sister of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and last survivor of the Faith's Heroic Age. Bahiyyih Khanum played a vital role in guarding the interests of the Cause after the Master's death and became Shoghi Effendi's sole effective support.
Commissioned by The Universal House of Justice, Century of Light, p. 47-48
At the heart of all activities, the spiritual, intellectual and community life of the believers must be developed and fostered, requiring . . . the encouragement of Bahá i women to exercise to the full their privileges and responsibilities in the work of the community -- may they befittingly bear witness to the memory of the Greatest Holy Leaf, the immortal heroine of the Bahá'í Dispensation.
Universal House of Justice, Quickeners of Mankind, p. 70
We must struggle with such promptings from within, setting our sights on the lofty example set by the Greatest Holy Leaf who, throughout a life replete with severe tests, chose not to take offence at the actions or lack of actions of other souls and, with full and radiant heart, continued to bestow on them love and encouragement.

Warblers show more color and variety than any other family of birds in the Washington area. Some of them stop to breed here, but a greater number pass through on their way to nesting grounds to our north. Bill Young will show you how to identify the 35 warbler species that you have a chance to see, focusing on appearance, vocalizations, behavior, and other factors.
Bill Young is a local writer and co-creator of the MPNature website, which is designed to teach people about the nature at Monticello Park. The site went online early in 2018 and has had more than a half a million server requests. His book The Fascination of Birds: From the Albatross to the Yellowthroat explores the connections between birds and a broad range of subjects, such as biology, ecology, literature, music, history, politics, economics, religion, geography, physics, chemistry, linguistics, the visual arts, the performing arts, sports, and comedy.

Figures I would actually be able to clear some schedule for Monday middle of the day and then the Canes trade deadline craziness would all happen during a busy Sunday.
I will write a couple Eric Staal memories type posts later in the week. I cannot bring myself to do it today. Earlier this week, I thought about writing those farewell type posts to have them ready, but that felt too weird.
For today, I will take a shot at the trade details for both Eric Staal's and Kris Versteeg's trades with Eric Staal up first.
When you look at some of the the other deals thus far, I think the closest comparable is the Andrew Ladd deal. In that trade, Winnipeg collected a first round pick and a prospect who is roughly NHL ready. For Eric Staal, the Canes received 2 second round picks and possibly a slightly higher-end prospect but 1 who is also probably farther from the NHL and therefore more uncertain. The first round pick jumps out as better, but when the first-rounder will highly likely be a bottom 5 pick, maybe 2 second round picks is comparable value. On the other hand, the trade in which the Maple Leafs sent depth players Nick Spaling and Roman Polak to San Jose and collected 2 second round picks makes the payment for Eric Staal look small.
Like everyone else, I am just learning about Aleksi Saarela by reading about him today. As a 2015 third round pick who has had a good 2014-15 season, I think it could be fair to adjust his value upward slightly and say he is the equivalent of another second-rounder. It will be interesting to see if he and Sebastian Aho make the journey to North America together next season.
Could Francis have received more?
My hope was that the Canes would be able to parlay Eric Staal into an NHL top 9 forward even if less than Staal to immediately back fill his slot and also accelerate the building out of the forward lines. The biggest theme thus far in the Canes 2015-16 season is that the blue line is progressing ahead of schedule. With 2 more holes left by Kris Versteeg and Eric Staal and a pipeline that is not as rich or as deep at forward, Francis needs to figure out how to both stock the pipeline but also build a better set of forwards for 2016-17. He does have some assets to work on this over the summer with a number of extra draft picks that could be used and also a bunch of money coming off contract. My pipe dream that might not have been too far-fetched was parlaying Eric Staal into a bigger deal for Alex Galchenyuk when Montreal desperately needed to do something. The New York Rangers equivalent would have been Chris Kreider who would have given the Canes an NHL-ready top 9 replacement for Staal.
But it is not clear that Ron Francis could have squeezed more out of the Rangers especially given Eric Staal's no-trade clause and the potential limitations, I think Francis did well. I would not say that he hit a home run, but I think he hit a solid double and also did it early enough that he did not risk doing worse in rolling the dice on Monday.
Also not to be discounted is the fact that the Canes will still need to pay half of Eric Staal's salary down the stretch. My rough math says that is $1 million in the middle of season in which ticket sales are not matching up to salary costs.
I doubt we will ever know everything that happened behind the scenes, but my subjective interpretation of the situation is that Ron Francis was ready to move on. During the check points during the season, there was never any mention of actual negotiations offers. It always seemed to be more general 'talks' or 'schedule for talks' or vague niceties that suggested working peacefully but not on anything specific. In Francis' press conference 2 things jumped out at me. The first was his mention of "We couldn't get comfortable on a contract term." He did not say what Eric Staal's side was looking for in terms of number of years, but my instinct tells me that this did not fall through because Eric Staal requested some crazy length on the deal. To that point, Francis also said,"We talked more in generalities than specifics." He did not say it directly, but it did not sound like things every really turned into a true negotiation with numbers going back and forth. Francis also said,"It just didn't fit for where we are now and where we are going." When July comes around, Ron Francis will likely be shopping for a veteran forward or 2, and Eric Staal is likely to be available at least on July 1, but my gut instinct tells me that Ron Francis has mostly moved forward.
When I net it out I give Ron Francis a solid B for this move, and it is possible that a B was the best he could do with the cards he was dealt. An A for me would have required a right now top 9 forward coming back still with futures.
What say you Canes fans? Can you even believe that Eric Staal is gone? I know this has been a possibility for some time now, but it is still hard to digest. Are you happy with the return?

Q: Configurar Namespace e autoload PSR-0 Estou desenvolvendo um projeto com a seguinte estrutura:

O objetivo é fazer o autoload carregar as classes.
O arquivo autoload.php:
 function autoload($className)
{
    $className = ltrim($className, '\\');
    $fileName  = '';
    $namespace = '';
    if ($lastNsPos = strrpos($className, '\\')) {
        $namespace = substr($className, 0, $lastNsPos);
        $className = substr($className, $lastNsPos + 1);
        $fileName  = str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $namespace) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    }
    $fileName .= str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $className) . '.php';
    require $fileName;
}
spl_autoload_register('autoload');

Classe abstrata Pessoa
namespace Projeto\Cliente;

use  Projeto\Cliente\Interfaces\ClienteEnderecoInterface;
use  Projeto\Cliente\Interfaces\ClienteImportanciaInterface;

abstract  class Pessoa implements ClienteEnderecoInterface, ClienteImportanciaInterface{}

Interface ClienteEnderecoInterface
namespace Projeto\Cliente\Interfaces;
interface ClienteEnderecoInterface {}

interface ClienteImportanciaInterface
namespace Projeto\Cliente\Interfaces;
interface ClienteImportanciaInterface {}

Classe ClientePF
namespace Projeto\Cliente\Tipos;
use Projeto\Cliente\Pessoa;
class ClientePF extends Pessoa{}

Classe ClientePJ
namespace Projeto\Cliente\Tipos;
use Projeto\Cliente\Pessoa;
class ClientePJ extends  Pessoa {}

Index.php
require_once('./inc/autoload.php');
  $cli = new ClientePF();
  $cli2 = new ClientePJ()

Ao tentar carregar o index, o php o sistema informa que não consegue localizar as classes:

( ! ) Warning: require(ClientePF.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\inc\autoload.php on line 15 Call
Stack
# Time    Memory  Function    Location 1  0.0010  152944  {main}( ) ...\index.php:0 2 0.0030  157944  spl_autoload_call (
) ...\index.php:33 3  0.0030  158000  autoload( ) ...\index.php:33

Qual deve ser a maneira correta de declarar os namespaces e o autoload?
Código Completo pode ser baixado aqui: GitHub
Dada a exitência da psr-4, posso usá-la em substituição da psr-0

A: O PSR-0 diferente do PSR-4 suporta tanto _ quanto \ para se referir aos namespaces, claro que o _ é uma simulação de namespace que era usado até o php5.2.
O PSR-0 esta em desuso como recomendação, todavia ainda existem libs mais antigas mantidas que usam o underscore, para fazer o autoload simples que segue o PSR-4 bastaria algo como expliquei nesta resposta https://pt.stackoverflow.com/a/91512/3635, veja o exemplo:
<?php
function myAutoLoader($class)
{
    // Diretório aonde ficam as bibliotecas
    $base_dir = __DIR__ . '/../src/'; //A sua pasta `/src`

    //Transforma namespace no caminho do arquivo
    $file = $base_dir . str_replace('\\', '/', $np) . '.php';

    // Verifica se o arquivo existe, se existir então inclui ele
    if (is_file($file)) {
        include_once $file;
    }
}

spl_autoload_register('myAutoLoader');

Mas é possivel adaptar para que aceite classes com underscore (underline _), assim:
<?php
function myAutoLoader($class)
{
    $separador = '_';

    //Verifica se usa \\ como separador
    if (strpos($classname, '\\') !== false) {
        //Corrige problema no PHP5.3
        $classname = ltrim($classname, '\\');

        $separador = '\\';
    }

    // Diretório aonde ficam as bibliotecas
    $base_dir = __DIR__ . '/../src/'; //A sua pasta `/src`

    //Transforma namespace (sendo com \ ou _) no caminho do arquivo
    $file = $base_dir . str_replace($separador, '/', $np) . '.php';

    // Verifica se o arquivo existe, se existir então inclui ele
    if (is_file($file)) {
        include_once $file;
    }
}

spl_autoload_register('myAutoLoader');

No caso eu usei __DIR__ . '/../src/' para subir um nível da pasta inc, pois acredito que você vai usar no index
Sobre o seu código:

*

*Em PHP para os includes eu não acho que seja necessário DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, em todas distros e sistemas operacionais que rodei aceitam perfeitamente /

*Não usei require, porque o problema que deve ser emitido é o de exception de classe não encontrada, não testei require, mas ele causa finalização do script se não achar o arquivo, o que dará um erro esperado conforme as recomendações do PSR-4

Documentação:

*

*PSR-0: http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-0/

*PSR-4: http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/

PAYER, HARRY FRANKLIN
PAYER, HARRY FRANKLIN (3 July 1875-12 Oct. 1952), lawyer, government official, and linguist, was born in Cleveland to Frantisek and Mary Kris Payer. He graduated from Western Reserve University in 1897 and from Cleveland Law School in 1899, and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1899. In 1900 he managed TOM L. JOHNSON's first mayoral campaign, from 1901-07 serving as assistant city solicitor under NEWTON D. BAKER. In 1907, he became the senior member of the law firm of Payer, Winch, Minshall, & Karch. Nicknamed "Demosthenes" because of his oratorical abilities, Payer became one of the area's top criminal lawyers and was renown for the huge awards he gained in personal-injury cases.
In June 1933, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Payer Assistant Secretary of State. In December, Payer was made special counsel of the Reconstruction Finance Corp, resigning in Apr. 1934 to return to private practice. Payer was a founder of the CUYAHOGA COUNTY BAR ASSOC. and its president from 1929-31. As chairman of the association's Committee on Judicial & Legal Reforms, he supported common pleas courts' psychiatric clinic, bail-bond reform, and the three-fourths jury laws. Payer spoke Czech, Polish, Italian, French, and German and read classical Greek and Latin. During WORLD WAR I, Payer, of CZECH background, served on the Czechoslovakian Relief Commission.

Stepping down a steep slope in inner city Brisbane is a brick house of interconnected boxes. Walls slide wide open and privacy is assured with high brick walls. Private courtyards extend out from living areas but the secret jewel of this house is the view from the bedroom. Slide back the doors and your can almost pick the flowers from mature jacaranda and pointsiana trees. Brick walls meet a wall of green. Of course it helps to live in the subtropics. I'd love to be woken from my sleep by the drumming of rain from an early morning storm. The architect is the award winning James Russell. Real estate stalking in my part of the world. Link here while it lasts.
I can't for the life of me work out this floor plan. There is a staircase up from the kitchen and a wall visible above the kitchen in the photo of the courtyard, so I assume that is the garage – but then the orientation is wrong! The 'lower' level would seem to be in the middle, as it has stairs going up AND down, but the north stairs beside the living room can only go down… Is the master bedroom under the lawn?
This is going to torture me.
Ditto above. On the floor plan the only exterior door seems to deadend at a wall with long counters and sinks to the left and right. Is that the front door?
I am also tortured. The first photo shows those stairs up on the right side behind the kitchen but there's no visible second floor…so maybe to a rooftop deck?
The video in the link mentions the treetop views from the master bedroom but the floor plan would suggest that it is under the lawn as Tricia Rose guesses.
But I'm thinking that patch of grass is above the garage.
Down-slope lot. Check out Google Street View. The garage / entry is at the top floor. Kitchen and living below and bedrooms at the bottom. Genius!
Ok, I think I worked it out – in the vid the woman says that the bedroom level is above the living level, so it must be stepped back so it cant be seen in the pix but that's where the mystery stairs lead, and also means that in the floorplan they mixed up the levels. Bed level is upper, living lower, then down to garage…. phew.
Maybe it's the way it's photographed, but it looks … eerie.
Had a good giggle reading diametrically opposed descriptions by Lukas and Madonna of Coogee, both of which made complete sense to me.
It's a great house on a great site.
Hopefully it's purchased by someone who loves it as much as out client has!
Northam Avenue is a quiet street straddling a ridge in the established inner suburb of Bardon. Houses in this area are generally traditional timber structures. They are elevated platforms above the landscape and isolated from the backyard.
On the north side of the street the land falls steeply down to a BCC park and a water corridor leading to Ithaca creek.
This project creates a connection between the ridge and the broader landscape below.
You enter at street and follow outdoor stairs, courtyards and patio to move about the house. This enables a direct connection to the ground plane.
Each room is a captured moment of outdoor space. Small units are connected to a larger whole that sits on the north slope of a much larger landscape.

The Future of Digital Transformation: IoT and AI Emerge as the Leading Formative Forces
Niranjan Chintam
Today, at the apex of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) poise to drive business transformation on a macro level. Identifying data as a key ingredient for growth, both technologies help businesses make informed decisions faster and pursue outcome-led innovation with confidence.
At present, IoT and Artificial Intelligence no longer qualify as trends. Instead, they have become the digital heartbeat and continue to grow at a steady rate. While IoT has scaled beyond simple device connectivity to bring 'Internet of Everything' into existence, AI is forging new advances towards replicating human ingenuity. Their true economic impact is reflected in an enterprise's capability to sense and react to market shifts over time.
IoT Adoption is More Paramount than Ever
The mid-2000s was the cradle of technological evolution and brought a flood of heterogeneous systems into an enterprise network. By 2009, as the BYOD culture picked popularity, more and more personal devices came into existence. This created the problem of 'shadow IT,' systems and applications were tied to organizations, however, not explicitly. Although they were useful for individual lines of business, the stress of managing and securing these systems was excruciating. Moreover, this rampant accumulation of devices strained IT support capacity, which resulted in performance downtimes.
IoT solved the challenges of fragmented IT and enabled machine-to-machine and asset-to-asset real-time connectivity without human intervention. Data from sensors are moved to the Cloud or the Edge and analyzed for actionable insights. So far, the arc of IoT leans towards building efficiency and enabling agile planning.
Recently, a new trend, Digital Twin, has gathered pace. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or whole system, built using data generated by sensors in real-time. This digital duplicate makes it almost seamless for enterprises to understand, analyze, and optimize concepts in any given physical ecosystem. According to a report, the Digital Twin market is set to explode at a CAGR of 37.87% by 2023, and the valuation is expected to grow from $1.8 billion in 2016 to $15.56 billion in 2023. These numbers indicate that more enterprises are aggressively moving to embrace digital twins in an endeavor to enable better business outcomes.
AI Growth Market on Steroids
AI's growth isn't slowing down either. A range of possibilities across business verticals is redefining the way humans and machines collaborate. Algorithms are becoming more sophisticated, machines are exhibiting human-like intelligence, and data is inspiring AI innovation. The future looks bright, but at the same time, the perils of AI technology threatening our livelihoods can't be ignored.
AI has the power to fulfill the promise of amplifying human potential. By providing the tools and approaches necessary for automation, the technology relieves workers of repetitive tasks and helps them focus on other growth-oriented activities.
Against this promising consensus on AI, there is a lot of disagreement. The technology has stoked fears of jobs displacements in human workers, leaving them on tenterhooks. At the same time, there are many security or privacy concerns related to AI. Nearly 64% of employees have agreed that their leaders aren't willing to invest in AI because that might expose their security. Another reason why business leaders don't consider AI a sure bet is its autonomous nature, meaning it can act independently without a human hand.
Blending Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence to Energize Business Cores
Trends indicate that the juggernauts of IoT and AI will work in tandem to drive disruption. Gartner predicts that by 2022, more than 80% of enterprise IoT systems will include an AI component, which is a significant increase from the 10% today. However, the point to ponder is why IoT and AI are considered two sides of the same coin, and how enterprises can seek to monetize them together.
IoT adds connectivity to the objects around us via sensors and generates troves of data that enterprises use for boosting performance and customer experience. However, this data isn't used immediately after it is generated. Instead, it's leveraged for insights using AI. Simply put, AI helps in analysis and decision-making based on data collected by IoT sensors and devices. Even the unique datasets on which AI models are trained are built by tapping into the digital foundation of IoT. It isn't wrong to say that combining IoT with AI will be the next mainstay for enterprises seeking to make smarter decisions and improve operational efficiencies by up to 20%.

We are driven by a mission that revolves around helping enterprises embrace and scale IoT + AI capabilities by investing in people and steering a technological evolution we have come to envision.

This week all of our Dayton High School staff members wore a green t-shirt that said, "Ask Me About 82.9." 82.9 is the percentage of our 2018 Dayton High School graduating class that was either College or Career Ready, as determined by pre-established criteria by the state. I realize that putting one number out there is difficult to put into context whether this is a good, ok, or bad number. So, please, let me break it down.
Our percentage of 82.9 placed us 2nd in Northern Kentucky, behind only Beechwood High School, and tied with Highlands High School in Fort Thomas. The state average was 61% and the average of our 5 River City Districts in Northern Kentucky was 52%. As you can see this percentage score of 82.9% is something that should make our students and entire community very proud.
Our school district has been very strategic about providing a variety of opportunities for students to become College and/or Career Ready. We have aggressively grown the number of students that are reaching ACT College Ready benchmarks, which allow for them to take Dual Credit classes at Gateway Community and Technical College.
The second option is to become Career Ready. There are currently two ways to do this. The first is to complete one of our two business pathways (4 classes) and pass a certification test. The other way is to complete an industry certification at the Campbell County Area Technical Center.
We have a highly motivated and engaged group of nearly 30 students learning at our Area Technical Center. During their junior year, these students arrive on our campus by 6:30 AM and ride a bus to Campbell County High School where they participate in these courses.
We are very proud of this group of students for showing such dedication to Growing! Positioning our students to be ready for life's next step is an important part of what we do as we Inspire, Engage, and Grow our Students!

Mike Brown Uses an Old Spurs Action to get Kobe a Look
by Sebastian Pruiti
Before he became the Lakers' coach, Mike Brown worked under Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs. During his first season in Los Angeles, Brown hasn't used many sets that came from the Spurs — until last night, that is. Tied 93-all against the New Orleans Hornets with 2.1 seconds left, everyone expected Kobe Bryant to get the ball in isolation. You know the drill: He runs to the ball and fires up a tough jumper. But last night, Brown used the threat of Bryant's standard one-on-one last shot to set up a much easier, wide-open look for Bryant, and the play came almost straight out of the Popovich playbook.
The Lakers start with Derek Fisher in the corner, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum at the free throw line, and Bryant under the rim. When Metta World Peace inbounds the ball, Bryant curls around two screens set by Bynum and Gasol and heads toward the ball.
Gasol slips his screen and runs to the front of the rim. Bynum stays in place at the top of the key as Bryant sprints at the inbounder.
At the last second, Bryant turns around and doubles back, using a second screen set by Bynum. When Bryant comes off that screen, World Peace passes the ball to the corner where he knows Bryant will be.
Bryant runs underneath the ball, makes the catch, and gets a shot off before the defense can close out. He misses the game-winner (the Lakers won 107-101 in overtime) but this was still a great play. Brown used Kobe running to the ball as a decoy. The defense fell for it and shifted to challenge Kobe's expected isolation jumper. When Bryant doubled back, his defender got stuck on Bynum's back screen and it led to a great look. Popovich and the Spurs made that "windshield wiper" action famous, and they've used it several times over the years to set up open 3-pointers and layups. In the video below, from last season, San Antonio uses the windshield wiper to set up a game-winner for Manu Ginobili.
There are some obvious differences between this play and the one the Lakers ran last night, but the similarities between Bryant's and Ginobili's cuts are unmistakable. The difference in time — 2.1 seconds for the Lakers and 7.1 for the Spurs — is why Bryant got a screen and Ginobili didn't. Popovich knew Ginobili had time to make a move after catching the pass, while Brown had to design a catch-and-shoot play for Bryant. To create a little extra space for a quick shot, Brown added the screen from Bynum.
Borrowing plays is what good NBA coaches do, and seeing Brown use one of Popovich's plays should be a welcome sight for Lakers' fans. When it comes to late game situations, Pop is the best in the business, and if Brown can use some of his old boss's great sets with a finisher like Bryant on the roster, the Lakers could be very dangerous come playoff time.

PUT YOUR HANDS UP, Ohio State!


I have to admit I have that song running through my mind these days. I'm a two-timer and I must confess.
It started off innocently enough. I just left a little message that I thought might offer encouragement. The feedback was so positive it surprised me, and I ventured a bit more—and more, and more. Until it became a full-blown affair. Now I find myself dividing my time between my first love and my new one, unable to give one or the other my complete attention. I love them both. And I am torn.
Torn between two weblogs, feeling like a fool.
Because, truly, I likely could write once and post twice—in two different places—and no one would know. And then I wouldn't feel so torn, so divided, so unable to give each what I would like to give. A little piece of my soul that, I hope, might encourage and inspire.
Of course, Sound Off is my first personal blog unrelated to school; the other is truly just the front page of our school's Moodle site, of which I am an administrator. Back in mid-October, I woke up and thought I should write a simple, but encouraging, message to the students and parents who visit the site for assignments and announcements.
We will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).
Just thought you might need a little pick-me-up today–and a reminder that God made this day, and that's reason to rejoice and be glad… in every homework-filled and hustle-bustle minute! Enjoy His presence and your loved ones! Be blessed and be a blessing!
And that was it. Prior to that date, I had written some tutorials for using the school's learning management system and given school-wide messages, such as "Moodle is temporarily not working; your teachers have been alerted." For that I got the occasional "thank you," but my little reminder that, indeed, God made this day and told us what to do with it received the equivalent of "thanks, I needed that" and "you must have been reading my mind" in emails and face-to-face conversations for days and weeks afterward.
That was how it began. Since that time, I have slowly expanded my posts at that site. The funny thing is, however, that I write what I feel God has laid on my heart for my students and parents to read, and I write for Sound Off something completely different. Though I know many of you love Jesus—and know that some of my school connections also read this blog—I feel the need to keep them separate. And, at times, I feel torn, because I have not been as attentive or prolific as I was and would like to be.
For those who have followed me for some time, that might actually be a relief! I am not bombarding your email box with loads of posts, but I hope what you find there is quality, if not quantity.
A two-timing blogger I may be, but my messages to you come straight from my heart. Thanks for reading!
