We are an independent music and entertainment group based in Camden Town, London. Founded in 1995, we have been the force behind some of the biggest dance music artists of all time. NewState sell over 1 million units of music a year, mainly premium branded dance music compilations. DJ gods such as Tiësto & Ferry Corsten broke through as recording artists with NewState and we are home to global EDM and dance music brands such as Pure Music, Pacha and Cream.
NewState were one of the first independent labels in Europe with a direct contract with the then-emerging iTunes digital music store platform in 2005. Growth in NewState's digital distribution arm has out-paced the market and now NewState Digital provides services to 50 third-party music labels in over 50 digital music stores globally and its data warehouses store over 15,000 tracks.
Along the way Cypher, a new media PR company, and Zip Design, a brand marketing and graphic design studio have been created and nurtured alongside the core NewState music company, providing a 360 degree service for music artists and rights owners. These other divisions of NewState also take advantage of third-party work and outsourcing from large corporate organisations needing a touch of 'street cool' credibility.
Their clients include tier-one brands such as MTV Networks, United Nations-UNPFA, Aston Martin Lagonda, Spin Master & Yamaha; entertainment brands such as 19 (Pop Idol), Manga, Viacom / Last.fm, & Capcom; blue chip & high street brands like Gymbox, The River Cafe & the Big Chill / Camino Group; major music groups such as Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, Carlin Music and Universal Music Group; as well as a selection of the world's leading record labels and artists including Black Sabbath, The Saturdays, Girls Aloud, The Rolling Stones & Fat Boy Slim.
NewState was an early pioneer of the development of 3rd party software applications in smartphones, when Apple launched their App Store back in 2007. NewState launched their first app with technology partners Yuza, with the first EDM / Dance Music artist app for Paul van Dyk in 2008 for the iPhone /iOS platform, followed by the NOW Music Quiz app in 2010 and the current suite of apps for Aston Martin Lagonda.


MILFORD, Mass., August 15, 2016 – Waters Corporation (WAT: NYSE) today announced VICAM®, a Waters® Business, received USDA-GIPSA (Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration) certification for its Afla-V® AQUA™ strip test for the quantitative analysis of total aflatoxins in grains.
The Afla-V® AQUA™ strip test provides fully quantitative data for the determination of total aflatoxins. Results are displayed on the digital screen in just five minutes (following extraction and sample preparation) with a range of 5-300 parts per billion for total aflatoxins, and was designed to be used virtually anywhere, requiring little to no training or expertise.
Traditional methods for the detection of aflatoxins have required the use of methanol, ethanol and other solvents for the extraction step, costly chemicals which require specialized and often costly shipping, handling and storage facilities. The Afla-V® AQUA™ strip test replaces chemical solvents with a water-based extraction solution which is both environmentally friendly and safe for use in the field, process or laboratory environment.
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring chemical byproducts of mold species, which are natural inhabitants of crop soils. Severe rain and drought can encourage aflatoxin production, and once released, aflatoxin and other mycotoxins are difficult to manage and nearly impossible to destroy. Aflatoxin B1 is classified as a Group I carcinogen and is highly toxic even at very low concentrations. The USDA, FDA, EU, and other international government agencies impose specific regulations and guidelines for acceptable levels of mycotoxins. Producers and exporters use on-site and laboratory testing to ensure regulatory compliance and to protect human and animal health from illnesses associated with mycotoxins, including cancer and feed refusal in animals.

But I obviously have /etc/yum.conf, but I still get an error

I hope to know why and get a solution, thank you
I downloaded and compiled glibc, and the installation was successful, but there was an error message after installation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Execution of gcc failed!

The script has found some problems with your installation!

Please read the FAQ and the README file and check the following:

- Did you change the gcc specs file (necessary after upgrading from

  Linux libc5)?

- Are there any symbolic links of the form libXXX.so to old libraries?

  Links like libm.so -> libm.so.5 (where libm.so.5 is an old library) are wrong,

  libm.so should point to the newly installed glibc file - and there should be

  only one such link (check e.g. /lib and /usr/lib)

You should restart this script from your build directory after you've

fixed all problems!

Btw. the script doesn't work if you're installing GNU libc not as your

primary library!

Santalum alba
The scent of sandalwood is instantly recognizable, believed to alter one's desires and keep you aware during meditation. Used as incense and as offerings in religions the world over, and used as a fixative in perfumery because of its long shelf life.
Derived from the leaves of a tropical bush, patchouli leaves were used by silk traders in the 18th and 19th centuries in their cloths to prevent bugs from nesting in the luxurious fabric, and Queen Victoria adopted this practice in her personal linen chests. Patchouli oil is commonly used as a base note in perfumery and is said to improve with age.
Cymbopogon flexuosus
Skin-firming and astringing, this brightly scented plant was also used in teas and is essential to southeastern Asian cooking. Paracelsus claimed lemongrass as his most favored of cure-alls, and the oil is used to preserve ancient palm-leaf manuscripts.
Ellataria cardamomum
Related to ginger, the distinct flavor of this tropical seedpod lends itself to cuisine from Norway to India, flavoring everything from meat to chai and coffee. The plant flowers for eight months out of the year, and each pod must be harvested at a very precise point in the plant's life cycle.
Often living a migratory life following where the timber lay, the term "Lumberjack" was first used to describe those "who, having been reared among the oaks and pines of the wild forest, have never been subjected to the salutary restraint of laws." Until the WWII era, lumberjacks used hand tools to harvest and transport trees, a difficult and dangerous job with strong traditions celebrating strength, masculinity, and resistance to technology.
Famed fairy-tale tellers, the Brothers Grimm, write of a flaxen haired damsel locked away in a tower by a witch, her strong golden locks long enough to reach the grass beneath her prison. Her name derives from a native European field lettuce, Valerianella locusta, which Rapunzel's mother craved while carrying her child, and the witch accused her father of stealing.
Paul Bunyan
Originating in the oral traditions of American logging folklore, giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan was told to have logged millions of timber in a cold long year of "the blue snow" in North Dakota. With trusty blue ox, Babe, by his side, Bunyan was known for his strength and fortitude and became an emblem to American industry.
In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen became a Catholic nun in Bingen, Germany at a very young age. Later becoming Abbess of her own "radical" convent, Hildegard was an outspoken mystic famed for preaching the use of gems and herbs medicinally. Divining recipes and applications from God, her books on diet, healing, and connecting to the earth and the elements are still in practice today.

If high employee turnover is an issue at your company, it can seem like talented employees are destined for one of two roles--entrepreneur or executive. Future entrepreneurs are brave self-starters who are willing to take risks, but who ultimately leave the safety of their jobs to make it on their own. Future executives are influencers who lead successful teams, but who may seek new opportunities if management roles are scarce. Some employees are simply ready to make a change. If you spend significant time and resources trying to retain people who aren't content to sit still, you could alienate high-performers who aren't interested in, or aren't ready for, the risks and responsibilities of high-level leadership. Far from uninspired or unambitious, the people who can enhance your company from the inside out are your ever-valuable intrapreneurs.
An intrapreneur is a person who identifies problems and opportunities within a company and spearheads solutions that benefit the business. Maybe there's a market for your product that hasn't been tapped yet. Maybe the company desperately needs a new system for sharing information, and someone already has the skills to build it. Employees who are passionate about an idea don't have to be "senior management" to take the lead on it. They just have to be able to present their ideas well and get your team on board. Here's how to spot the intrapreneurs in your company and help them succeed.
Intrapreneurs, much like executives, keep a bird's-eye perspective on what's working and what's needed in a company. The difference is that, where you may need to divide your attention among the needs of five, ten, or fifteen departments, an intrapreneur has the ability to focus on improvements for their particular area of the business.
Encourage team members at every level to make a habit of writing down the challenges they face in their positions or the opportunities they notice, along with a solution. Create a framework that your employees can use to develop their ideas, starting with a pro/con list. Ask them to consider which department would need to contribute the most work and to estimate how much the project could cost in time and resources. If you provide guidelines for what you want to know about a project up front, employees can present ideas with confidence knowing they've done their homework.
Ideas don't need to be flawless to be valuable. If every entrepreneur embarked on a venture with 100 percent certainty that it would work out, it wouldn't be entrepreneurship. The point of exploring a new idea is to find pitfalls or opportunities the employee possibly hasn't seen and to determine if the idea has enough potential to move forward.
Approach your employee's ideas with a realistic head, but don't let them become discouraged by difficult questions or concerns. If more research is needed, task them to find the new information and report back in a timely manner. If the idea is a no-go for financial or logistic reasons, encourage them to come up with another solution to fix the same problem. Even if an idea doesn't pan out under deeper scrutiny, take note of employees who take initiative. Find ways to reward your self-starters with recognition and, if appropriate, a raise.
Once you've given an idea the green light for further exploration, make sure that you help your employee involve all of the teams who will be affected by the change. In our company, we have yearly innovation meetings where each department comes up with a few ideas, then upper management determines what's necessary and easy to implement, what intriguing possibilities need more research, and what simply isn't feasible. Team members at every level spearhead approved projects that they suggested, and managers make sure that each idea is explored fully and/or implemented. If your company doesn't have a process for innovation, make this the year that you hold your first innovation meeting. You'll be surprised and delighted by what your team brings to the table.
Companies that foster an environment of intrapreneurship thrive because people are invested in their work. When your employees understand the impact they can have on the business and feel supported in their endeavors, you'll see new opportunities flourish and pervasive issues resolve themselves in the hands of your loyal team members.

Ford Exploring Prechamber Ignition Technology, Like Maserati Uses, on F-150
Your next Ford F-150 may share some neat tricks with the MC20's F1-inspired engine.
Frank MarkusAuthor
Diesel engines used to initiate combustion in a prechamber that housed the glow-plug for cold-starts, but fancy high-pressure direct-injection pretty much retired the prechamber. We've recently learned the 2022 Maserati MC20 Nettuno V-6 engine is reviving it—in gasoline engines—as a way to speed the burn rate and extract more work and performance out of the air-fuel mixture. Now we hear Ford is working with FEV, an engineering consultancy, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory on a prechamber engine aimed at boosting efficiency.
The $10-million three-year project, partly funded by the Department of Energy, aims to develop a "Next Generation High Efficiency Boosted Engine." Specifically, the effort aims to achieve a 23 percent improvement in efficiency and a 15 percent reduction in engine mass relative to the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 in a 2016 Ford F-150 pickup. So while Formula 1 and the Maserati MC20's Nettuno engine (pictured below) employ the concept to deliver peak performance, Ford, FEV, ORNL, and the Feds are more interested in efficiency. Happily, they're often two sides of the same coin.
What Does Prechamber Ignition Look Like?
At the top center of the cylinder lies a much smaller chamber that gets its own fuel injector and spark plug. The Ford team is considering somehow cramming a compressed-air injector in there as well. It's connected to the main chamber by holes large enough to ensure the prechamber gets the same compression as the main cylinder but small enough so that when combustion occurs in the prechamber, it exits these holes as jets of fire that help ignite the mixture in the main chamber.
Ford's approach can guarantee a rich, easy-to-ignite mixture exists near the prechamber spark plug. Our understanding is that Maserati MC20 prechamber holes are large enough so that fuel injected into the main chamber or drawn in via the port injector can enter. Ford's concept and the Maserati both employ port injection in addition to a main-chamber direct injector, meaning the Ford prechamber system gets three injectors (likely operating at two different pressures).
How Does Prechamber Ignition Boost Efficiency?
The five individual areas of focus in the DOE-funded project are: engine-knock mitigation, dilute (lean) combustion, thermal management, friction reduction, and weight reduction. The prechamber concept helps with those first two by fostering much faster combustion. The faster the mixture burns, the less need to fire the spark plug early (while the piston is still on its way up) to get the entire mixture to burn. Firing the spark later while still burning all the fuel lowers the temperature. This reduces the likelihood of hot spots forming to cause knock (a cooler burn also reduces NOx pollution). Finally, later, faster combustion means more useful force from combustion gets exerted on the crankshaft while it's going down. Lean mixtures inherently save fuel but are generally harder to ignite. The prechamber's fire jets help ignite the lean mixture in the main chamber.
Does It Work and How Much Fuel Can It Save?
Research released to date suggests the burn rate is faster than that of a parallel concept that involves speeding combustion by initiating it with three spark plugs in an otherwise conventional combustion chamber. This same research suggests that all of the team's knock-reduction efforts pay off by enabling an increase in the compression ratio from a baseline of 10:1 to between 13:1 and 15:1, which boosts fuel efficiency between 6-8 percent. The sum total of dilute combustion efforts enable the engine to run between 30 and 50 percent cooled EGR, which adds another 2-5 percent fuel efficiency.
What Makes Up the Rest of the 23 Percent Fuel Efficiency Boost?
The other knock-reducing technologies include: Enhanced cooling of the combustion chamber via a split cooling system that prioritizes cylinder head cooling, greater piston cooling, and high-thermal-conductivity valve seats and guides. Also contributing to the dilute combustion improvement is an advanced, probably electrified turbo boost system. Another big contributor is continuously variable valve timing that permits Miller Cycle operation, which involves very late closing of the intake valves to reduce the compression load on the crankshaft while leaning on boost to ensure sufficient charge air/EGR (Miller is basically Atkinson plus boost). That one's credited with 2.5-3.5 percent.
A long-stroke, narrow bore (a 3:4 bore/stroke ratio) design provides a favorable surface-to-volume ratio, shortens flame travel distance, and provides high piston speeds that enhance charge motion, which improves air-fuel mixing and burn rate. The rest is nibbled away in small upgrades, some of which are already in place (like 2-4 percent from upgrading from six to ten speeds in the transmission and 3-4 percent for auto stop/start). The lion's share of the weight reduction (13.6 percent) is realized by the simplified valvetrain and exhaust, plus integral head/exhaust manifold made possible by switching to an inline-six. A forged carbon-fiber oil pan lops another 2.7 percent, and 3D-printing an optimized cylinder head accounts for another 1.2 percent.
We are tantalized by the notion of a Ford F-150 powered by an F1-inspired combustion system in a BMW-like twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder engine.


we lost our cat beethoven a beautiful tabby after 16 yrs. of love and devotion. to ease our pain we went to the spca and adopted a black and white kitten as soft as a rabbit. we named her abby. she was sick when we got her. but we believed with love and medication she would survive. but she did not. again with broken hearts we went back to the spca to rescue a older cat. she is a beautiful tuxedo cat we named her megan. her being here has helped ease the pain of our loved cats. she is like no other cat we have ever had. she is the boss and we do whatever she wants. we are her staff. we love her and were very lucky to have her. see how well trained we are! the one thing she does is she begs us to brush her with floor broom. she wants us to do it all the time. i have never heard of a cat doing this. she also talks all the time. she sounds like a bird we should have called her chirpy.
Megan is gorgeous. I'm so glad that she's brought so much joy to your life, especially after losing two beloved cats. And it seems like Megan is the queen of the home now. She gets what she wants lol! I too find myself doing what my cat wants. Cats are so good at giving orders and getting what they want. I just love them.
Thanks again for sharing your story and Megan's picture.
PS - I've never heard of a cat that liked being swept! That must be quite a funny sight.

Q: Nested Attribute Form Validation Bugs I'm seeing an odd bug with a nested attribute form.  I have two models, Parties, and Guests.  Party has_many Guests, and Guest belongs_to Party.  I have a form that creates Guests through Party.
The bug I'm seeing is as follows:

*

*When I first visit the form page, everything loads but I can't submit data.  If I refresh the page as soon as it renders, then whatever I type in hits the database when I press submit.  I discovered that the submit button changes to its active state when you click on it but it never leaves it when it's not working.

Why do I have to refresh my page before the form will submit data?  I'd appreciate some help unraveling this one.  I'm not even sure which thread to start tugging on.

Why is your open-form tag half inside the ul ? Where is the matching end? A form is a block-level component - it should be fully contained within the outer block - not half in one tag and half in another.
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it will certainly fix your html. try something more like this:

Create a New Invitation Party

    <% if @party.errors.any? %>
        <% @party.errors.each do |attribute, msg| %>

      <%= link_to "Back", event_guests_path(@event), class: "btn btn-danger pull-right", style: "margin-right: 5px;" %>

Bristol is the UK's 8th most populous city and is a regional centre for employment, education and culture. The historic economy was built on trading and commerce due to the city's strategic seafront location and large ports. Bristol's modern economy however is based on electronics, aerospace and creative industries. Other major revenue winners for the area include defence, IT, financial services, tourism and the media.
Although the city is no longer reliant on trade from the Port of Bristol there is still importing and exporting of certain goods. The city is home to two major railway stations and is served by the Bristol International Airport. Due to Bristol's location, infrastructure and economy, it is a first choice for office relocation.

Meet the First Foundry Cohort: Introducing Ship Shape
Foundry, News
Powered by FinTech Wales, the Foundry is a unique, not for profit accelerator programme designed to scale the next generation of digital ventures in Wales. In the first of a series of interviews chronicling the founders in the first cohort we speak with Daniel Sawko, co-founder of VC ecosystem mappers Ship Shape.
What is Ship Shape?
It's a way of finding needles (VC investors interested in your business) in haystacks. We think what3words are doing in navigation needs to be replicated in the VC industry!
What is your team's background?
We started in the middle of the pandemic, so we have a dispersed team at the moment. We have two working in Cardiff, a team member in Singapore, Edinburgh, one in England all the time, and I split my time between England and Wales! We've got representation from Eastern Europe, the heart of Wales, Australia and the UAE.
In terms of talent, the pandemic offered a chance to open our hiring pool on a national scale, opening the doors to wider opportunities that otherwise would typically be geographically limited. In terms of age, we have a good balance of youth and experience, which helps us blend knowledge and creativity.
What is the opportunity you've spotted and/or the problem you are trying to solve?
Trying to find the right VC investor for a start-up is like having no phone or maps when trying to find your apartment on holiday in a beautiful Mediterranean city.
Today's tools just aren't built to answer this problem!
Ship Shape was selected from over 150 applicants to join the FinTech Wales Foundry. What are your expectations for an accelerator programme?
We're incredibly proud and excited to be selected for the Foundry.
We're looking forward to learning from the fantastic pool of mentors and experts that the Fintech Wales team have pulled together. We're expecting to accelerate in a number of key ways that strengthen the pillars of our business;
– Closing our round
– Making sure our tech stack can cope with the next 10k and then 100k users!
– Getting some crucial legal documents like subscription agreements in order
– Building connections with the Welsh and wider ecosystem in the UK
Compared to your initial plans, how different is Ship Shape today?
We've changed a lot – we're using different technology (based on some excellent learning in the early days), we aren't in an office and haven't needed to be (we are excited to put down some roots at the Cardiff Business Technology Centre). We're collaborating with some brilliant and supportive academics across several Welsh Universities.
I think we are also more progressed in ways that I didn't expect, e.g. how powerful the platform can be!
What made Wales an attractive destination to scale your efforts for the summer?
There's a fantastic ecosystem growing here. There's talent and excellent support from organisations like Fintech Wales, Universities like Cardiff, UWTSD, and Swansea. I don't have enough digits to count the number of supportive people we have come across that have helped us on our journey.
The reason to come and scale in Wales is that you are surrounded by people who will go the extra mile to see you succeed!
What will your next birthday look like?
We're excited about what the next 12 months will bring, and ultimately, we want to make sure that more brilliant ideas make it. So If we can do that in the next 12 months, we'll be happy!
We hope to take off in the UK and start our own US adventure and are incredibly excited about the advances being made at Ship Shape that we know customers are crying out for.
What should more founders know?
Be comfortable with saying no – whether to additional commitments, investors, or the few ecosystem players that engage on bad terms or poor attitude! And that there's almost always help available in places you wouldn't expect to find it. So if you're in a bind, really take a step back and look at every possible option.

28:1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
28:6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

David C. Allie and Walter B. Thurmond, for petitioner.
subsequent amendment to the answer was increased to $1,100,000.


I mean if you are from a farm and feel like you need that warm cozy feeling that is instilled by this truck than go for it.
Are you taking me to a ho-down in this? If not I'm not getting in!
Nothing attractive about this one. Kills the environment and kills your pocket with gas now a days.
I do not like the overall style or color of this car. It looks very outdated.
A little too vintage for me. Borderline Hoopty.

Typical Mud Season in Norfolk
March 2007 weather highlights from Norfolk's National weather Service Cooperative Weather Observer Station, Norfolk 2SW, as recorded by the great Mountain Forest Corporation. The station has recorded weather observations since January 1, 1932.
The month's high temperature of 69 degrees was observed on March 14. This was a record high temperature for that date. It replaced the old record of 68 degrees set back in 1990. The low temperature of minus 5 degrees was observed on March 6. The average temperature this month was 30.4 degrees which was just 0.1 degree above normal.
This March saw nineteen days with measurable precipitation and unfortunately not many nice clear early spring days. The end result was a typical mud season in Norfolk. There were numerous days where we received only a little snow then it turned to rain or sleet or freezing rain. Norfolk usually will get more snow during these types of storms, but this year that snow line was to the north of us. Freezing rain on March 2 accumulated to about a quarter inch of ice on trees and wires causing some power outages throughout town. The storm on March 16 dumped 11 inches of snow at the station, but there were reports around town of 12 inches all the way up to 16 inches.
The total precipitation recorded for the month was 4.72 inches which was 0.27 inches above normal. The 16.4 inches of snowfall recorded was 2.3 inches below the normal monthly snowfall amount.
Through the first quarter of 2007 we are 1.75 inches below normal for total precipitation and 24.0 inches below normal for snowfall. Our winter season (October through March) snowfall total through March is 39.5 inches. Comparing this winter season to date to the last 75 years we are now 49.0 inches below a normal winter season's snowfall total.
We ended the month with ice still covering Tobey Pond and Wangum Lake. Last year the ice went out between March 28 and March 30. Typically, the ice goes out sometime between late March and the first or second week of April.

Friends, I love making you beautiful and meaningful things.
People say that after your wedding is over, and the cake is eaten, and the flowers are gone, your photos are forever. But in our fast-paced social media world, our moments are quickly overtaken by the next big thing. Our memories are living in the cloud and pop up once a year in our timelines or sit on our hard drives with good intentions of printing someday.
I want more for my couples. I want to put a book in your hands that takes you back in time when you look at it and uses all of your senses. Tangible memories.
I feel so strongly about it that I've made it easy ... 3 of our collections include a book.
I love beautiful things that are well-made and can also be fun. I chose my album companies based on quality craftsmanship, an eye for detail, luxury materials that are also really cool, and their stellar customer service experience.
Luxury and fun cover materials, lay flat design, beautiful binding.
Thick pages. Fabric, metal, canvas, and acrylic covers. Choices in size and number of pages.
Designed for you (by me).
Thinner pages make great alternative books. Smaller sizes are good parent albums and guest books.
I love this part ... going through your whole day and choosing images that show your story. Your mom and friends helping you get ready, everyone waiting inside for the rain to stop so the ceremony can happen, your dog coming up the aisle, surprise stilt walkers, when he sang to you during the ceremony, that embarrassing story during the toast that made everyone laugh, your friend's crazy dance moves, and, of course, all the decorations you put yourself into, and you two ... every story is different.
I put all of the pieces together and choose options for cover materials based on the overall feel of your day.
And then we look at the design together. Here there's an option to swap images, choose more pages, and pick your cover.
At this meeting the design is finalized and the order is placed, and then you get your album in a few weeks.


Zambia is the largest copper producer in Africa and ranks as the seventh largest copper producer in the world. At the same time, this resource-rich nation continues to suffer from high poverty rates and unemployment — the World Bank estimates that around 60 percent of Zambians live below the national poverty line .
C opper mining can produce lucrative by-products. The most common one in Zambia is cobalt, which sells for five times more than copper on world markets.. But the ultimate by-product for any copper mine is gold, and FQM's Kansanshi mine in Solwezi has a lot of it.
Copper mining and refining were the dominant components of Zambia& 39;s ... copper recovered and refined by electrowinning, gold, lime, refined petroleum .... Sentinel Mine was designed to mill and process 55 Mt/yr of ore.

Zambia had one of the world's fastest growing economies for the ten years up to 2014, with real GDP growth averaging roughly 6.7% per annum, though growth slowed during the period 2015 to 2017, due to falling copper prices, reduced power generation, and depreciation of the kwacha.

This 4-day course is designed to provide technical staff with the knowledge, skills and insight required to understand copper solvent extraction and electrowinning, to improve plant operations, and to improve control of operations.
In 2006 Zambian royalties from copper represented about $24 million on $4 billion worth of copper extracted. The .6% royalty rate was thought to be the lowest in the world.

McAllister Park in San Antonio, Texas (#1 of 20 for #SA2020Resolutions)
By Colleen Pence	| Feb 11 2014
By Colleen Pence, SA2020 Resolutions Outdoorsy Leader (follow her here!)
The first park of twenty we visited this year as part of our #SA2020Resolutions was McAllister Park. But it's not a stretch for us to go there. It's practically across the street so we get to play there all year long.
McAllister has everything we want in a park: soccer fields; playgrounds; 15 miles of trails, both paved and unpaved, for walking, running or biking; baseball fields; fitness stations and equipment; pavilions and picnic tables; a dog park; bluebonnets as far as the eye can see in spring; stargazing, and deer, lots and lots of deer.

San Jose's Japantown is one of three remaining Japantowns in the United States. In its early days, the community served as a refuge for Japanese immigrants. Now, in its 125th year, the streets are filled with everything from tofu shops to artsy boutiques to low-riders. We talk to Japantown's residents, look back on the neighborhood's history and find out how it is evolving.

8               3           FALSE       TRUE         TRUE 0.8915900
9               3            TRUE       TRUE         TRUE 0.8927894

How do I gather the data so that I have 3 columns
condition   LearningType      mean
1             learnedtogether   .86
1             same session       .8
1             different Session .83

Where learnedtogether, same_block, and same_session are all collapsed into one row.
thanks in advance.

A: If the order is repeated (eg 1st value in condition should have a value of "different Session" in column LearningType, 2nd value in condition should have a value of "same Session" in column LearningType) then you can utilize the fact that dataframes will recycle values of atomic vectors that are not the same length as the number of rows in your dataframe:
df$LearningType <- c("different Session", "same session", "learnedtogether")
df[,-(2:4)]

Output
  condition      mean      LearningType
1         1 0.8309669 different Session
2         1 0.8051708      same session
3         1 0.8681102   learnedtogether
4         2 0.8188932 different Session
5         2 0.7697297      same session
6         2 0.8899083   learnedtogether
7         3 0.8742560 different Session
8         3 0.8915900      same session
9         3 0.8927894   learnedtogether

Otherwise, you can rowSum your logical columns and utilize them like so:
library(dplyr)

v <- c("different Session", "same session", "?", "learnedtogether")

df %>%
  mutate(LearningType = v[as.numeric(ordered((rowSums(.[2:4]))))]) %>%
  select(-(learnedtogether:same_session))

Though it's not clear from your question what to do when same_block and same_session are the only TRUE values in the row.
Output
  condition      mean      LearningType
1         1 0.8309669 different Session
2         1 0.8051708      same session
3         1 0.8681102   learnedtogether
4         2 0.8188932 different Session
5         2 0.7697297      same session
6         2 0.8899083   learnedtogether
7         3 0.8742560 different Session
8         3 0.8915900                 ?
9         3 0.8927894   learnedtogether

Data
df <- structure(list(condition = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L,
3L), learnedtogether = c(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE,

Q: Proving this sequence ( probably using induction? ) Question:
For $n>0$ and $\theta\in\Re$, Let $$t_n = \sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^k 3^{k-1} cos^3{\frac{\theta}{3^k}}$$
Using the identity $cos^3\phi=\frac{1}{4}cos3\phi+\frac{3}{4}cos\phi$,
Show that $$t_n = \frac{(-1)^n 3^n}{4}cos\frac{\theta}{3^n} - \frac{1}{4}cos\theta$$ and evaluate$ \lim_\limits{n \to \infty} t_n$
My attempt(using induction):
Base case(n=1) : $$t_1 = \sum_{k=1}^1 (-1)^k 3^{k-1} cos^3{\frac{\theta}{3^k}}$$
$$=(-1)3^{1-1}cos^3\frac{\theta}{3}$$
$$=-(\frac{1}{4}cos\theta + \frac{3}{4}cos\frac{\theta}{3})$$
$$=\frac{(-1)^1 3^1}{4}cos\frac{\theta}{3^1}-\frac{1}{4}cos\theta$$
Assumption:
$$t_m = \frac{(-1)^m 3^m}{4}cos\frac{\theta}{3^m} - \frac{1}{4}cos\theta$$
$$t_{m+1} = \sum_{k=1}^{m+1} (-1)^k 3^{k-1} cos^3{\frac{\theta}{3^k}}$$
$$=(-1)^{m+1}3^mcos^3\frac{\theta}{3^{m+1}}+ \sum_{k=1}^m (-1)^k 3^{k-1} cos^3{\frac{\theta}{3^k}}$$
$$=(-1)^{m+1}3^mcos^3\frac{\theta}{3^{m+1}}+ t_m$$
Then using assumption , am I correct?

A: Hint. One may observe that, for $k=1,2,3\cdots,$ we have (why?)
$$
\frac{(-1)^k 3^k}{4}\cdot\cos\frac{\theta}{3^k}-\frac{(-1)^{k-1} 3^{k-1}}{4}\cdot\cos\frac{\theta}{3^{k-1}}=(-1)^k 3^{k-1} \cdot\cos^3{\frac{\theta}{3^k}}
$$ then summing from $k=1$ to $k=n$ one may recognize a telescoping sum.

Boston Restaurant Closings
Someone Please Give the 'Live Poultry Fresh Killed' Sign a Good Home
East Cambridge will never be the same without it
by Rachel Leah Blumenthal@blumie Aug 4, 2021, 2:22pm EDT

Mayflower Poultry's Inman Square storefront, photographed in 2008.

As time marches on and neighborhoods change, we say goodbye to the things we love over and over again — the restaurants, that one skinny tree that used to grow in the parking lot of the antique store before construction gobbled it up, the iconic signage.
In East Cambridge, not far from Inman Square, there is no sign more iconic than that of poultry and meat market and wholesaler Mayflower Poultry. For over 75 years, the sign has aggressively advertised the shop's "live poultry" that is "fresh killed" with bold black letters (in several different fonts) over a bright yellow silhouette of a chicken. (Live poultry hasn't actually been processed onsite in many years, but the sign has lived on, delighting some and angering others.)
The sign's time has come. Mayflower Poultry is moving on from its longtime home — the property at 621 Cambridge St. has been sold, and the sign is going up for auction August 26, owner Jim Gould told the Cambridge Chronicle-Tab. Its design, trademarked since 2005, will be included in the sale, so the buyer can slap it on whatever merchandise their heart desires. (Want to grab some of Mayflower's own merch before the trademark gets sold? There are shirts, hats, and aprons for sale online with that distinctive logo.) Gould reportedly plans to direct 10% of the proceeds to local nonprofit Food For Free, a Cambridge-based food rescue organization. Auctioneer Paul E. Saperstein Co. will also donate 20% of the buyer premium to the same group.
While Gould told the Chronicle-Tab that he's attempted to buy the property over the years, offering a million and later two million, the price ended up approaching five million. It would take a lot of "Live Poultry Fresh Killed" t-shirt sales to make that work. It's not the end for Mayflower Poultry, though, which is almost entirely a wholesale business these days; Gould will reportedly sublet space inside the Boston Meat Market off Route 93.
Here's a look at what may become of the building on Cambridge Street, which has been on the National Historic Register for almost 40 years thanks to its past as the Union Railway Car Barn, dating back to 1862. Take a look at page seven for a decidedly modern renovation of the facade. Because of the building's historic status, the Cambridge Historical Commission will have to approve the plans, which will be discussed at an August 5 meeting that is open to the public.
Interested parties should start saving up for the auction, which will welcome both online and onsite bidding. Perhaps the sign can find a home next to one of Boston's other famous chicken signs, the flapping neon chicken from Fontaine's in West Roxbury, which was displayed on the Greenway a few years back.
Update, 2:40 p.m.: This piece has been updated to more accurately describe Mayflower's current location as East Cambridge, near Inman Square, not in Inman Square.

An anonymous man made several phone calls to the San Francisco Police Department earlier this week, offering a $15,000 reward to whoever kills a police officer, authorities say.
The first call came into the SFPD on Wednesday evening, with the caller making the strange offer. Dispatchers received anther call early on Thursday morning.
Although the suspect has not yet been identified, police were working on locating the individual.
The calls come amid a recent spate of national violence against law enforcement officers. In San Francisco, the chief of police recently received personal threats as well.

Raptors unveil official lint-rolling promotion, Drake included
By Curtis RushSports Reporter
Wed., April 30, 2014timer1 min. read
Inspired by Drake's lint-rolling rituals, the Toronto Raptors now have an official lint-roller promotion heading into Game 5 Wednesday night.
Bounce, a Procter & Gamble company, has come on board as the official lint roller supplier of the Raptors.
They have produced 1,200 limited edition Raptors/OVO rollers that will be distributed after the game to fans in the 416 Zone, in the square and via social media. The tagline: "Bounce, helping keep Raptors and OVO fans lint-free."
OVO, October's Very Own, is Drake's record label.
Drake, the Canadian hip-hop star and Raptors global ambassador, created a stir in Game 2 in Toronto, after he started using a lint-roller while sitting at courtside during the playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets.
The episode was an instant hit on social media. Former NBA player, now TV analyst, Charles Barkley was bemused: "Who carries a lint brush with them?"
It spread to Brooklyn in Game 3 when a Raptors fan there used his lint roller after Toronto buckets.
Building on the momentum, in a separate promotion, IKEA Canada tweeted out Wednesday that will be giving out lint-rollers before the game.
"No lint in our house! We're giving out IKEA lint rollers before tonight's game. Details to come," the Swedish furniture retailer tweeted.
However, IKEA won't be allowed to distribute them on ACC property, said Dave Haggith, spokesperson for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, adding the company has "zero association" with the team.
The Swedish-based furniture company later announced it would hand out the rollers on the northwest corner of York St. and Bremner Blvd., and the corner of Bay and Front streets.

Q: Doxygen: extract specific doxygen defines into separate documentaion I have some source code (STM32 Peripherial Lib) with existing doxygen parameters which my Doxygen Builds without Problems.
For my project I want to generate a document with all functions in each file and a specific information which I want to add to the functions. But I want to keep the old informations for another doxygen configuration.
Is that possible?
I already added this for testing:
\ifnot "SECTION_DEFINE"
     <normal Doxygen Parameters from original Source Code>
\elsif "SECTION_DEFINE"
     @brief Function Check TODO
\endif
With this I could deactivate the existing documentation, but I need to write this \ifnot \elsif \endif to every function.
Can I just declare a Tag and only generate the documentation for this specific tag?
Kind regards
Andi

A: You may create a "related page" where only your additional information will be displayed with the \xrefitem command. As \xrefitem will also create a special text section within your original documentation you may want to combine it with your original idea of using section labels and conditional documentation. To top this concept off, use aliases in order to make your documentation more readable.
Consider this example code:
/** ST documentation
 * foobar
 * \exclusive for andi's function \endif
 */
void andreas(void);

/** ST documentation
 * foobar
 * \exclusive for beni's function \endif
 */
void benjamin(void);

You may use this alias in your Doxyfile: exclusive=\if SECTION_DEFINE \xrefitem viparea "Exclusive" "VIPs".
As long as SECTION_DEFINE is not defined, the "exclusive" information will not be included in your documentation. As soon as this section is defined, a "related page" (here: viparea.html) is created in your HTML documentation containing your documented items (here: andreas and benjamin) with the exclusive paragraph behind the command. The result:


The prestigious Forbes magazine has enumerated the 20 dangerous vehicles to avoid. Automotive safety experts said that the best way to determine the safety and danger risks a vehicle imposes greatly depends on the way it is configured, particularly with regards to few important aspects like side impact protection, stability control and roll-over risk that when combined provide ultimate safety in vehicular accidents like crashes significantly.
With crash tests performed by the IIHS on new vehicles, they see a wide range of results concerning side-impact and whiplash protection.
"What makes a vehicle unsafe today is a lack of side-impact protection," says Rader.
"Whiplash is not a life-threatening injury but head injuries [from a side impact] are commonly life-threatening." he further stated.
Mandated to be installed in all 2009 vehicles, the side curtain airbags had been proven to increase the chances of survival in a classic "T-bone" side-impact accident. It also promotes passenger safety in cases of roll-overs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) predicts that side curtain airbags will decrease cases of fatal side-impact head injuries by 45 percent resulting to 1,000 safe lives per year.
"Side airbags designed to protect your head are crucial, because a head injury is the most common fatal injury in a crash," says Rader, "It's the difference between life and death."
Together with side curtain air bags, all vehicles need a strongly built side structure to bear strong blows from all kinds of vehicles.
As Rader points out the advantage of larger vehicles in accidents with their wider range of stability, the managing editor of Consumer Reports, John Linkov reckons that the smaller the vehicle doesn't necessarily mean the dangerous it gets. More often, smaller vehicles offer easy handling and maneuverability needed to prevent accidents. However, Rader and Linkov's thinking are not on the same angle. Rader's was more of the accident already happening and Linkov's focus was on the prevention.
Electronic stability control systems will be mandated for the 2012 model year. This system works by smartly applying the brakes on one or more of the wheels to avoid loss of vehicle control in an extreme maneuver.
"Electronic stability control is one of those rare safety features that's having a dramatic effect on saving lives," says Rader.
"Stability control alone can reduce the risk of fatal single-vehicle crashes by 56 percent. And it can reduce fatal single-vehicle rollovers by 80 percent for SUVs, 77 percent for passenger cars." Rader added.
Any vehicle can be entirely unsafe if is not properly built with important safety features. Plus if it is driven by a total reckless driver, accidents will always be on its way.

Good intentions and Statements of Intent
The importance of trustworthy State servants is stressed in the Statements of Intent of both the State Services Commissioner and the Auditor General released following the Budget last week. The Commissioner allocated two pages (21-22) of his 28 page SOI. The Auditor General allocated 5 pages (17-21) of her 75 page document.
The content is largely complementary. Both include international surveys to validate their focus on strengthening public trust and confidence in government. The Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index has become an entrenched measure for both agencies. OAG is also using the Worldwide Governance Indicators as a measure. Although the indicators were not collated in 2011, the release of a new set indices is anticipated in early June. Interestingly, New Zealand's score for political stability is lower than for the other five indicators.
While both SOIs refer to State Services integrity surveys (2007, 2010) as performance measures, the absence of any mention to a further survey suggest that none will be conducted in either 2012 or 2013.
Integrity standards are flagged as "the critical underpinning" of the Commission's role in identifying emergent risks to the trust and integrity of the system, including trust and integrity frameworks and setting required levels of transparency. The Commissioner indicates that he will investigate issues regarding the integrity and conduct of State servants.
With the importance of public trust and confidence confirmed, how will both agencies react to evidence in the Yan/Liu trial in the High Court? The Herald reported the evidence of a Citizenship Officer wanting to make inquiries with Australian immigration authorities: –
…. "I had a phone call that I was told not to ask any more questions because there was a lot of political pressure to send the file to Wellington.
"I was told to just process the file, send it to Wellington, don't worry about asking any more questions.
"I have been working there for seven years and that was the first time I have had my boss phone me about an application."
Asked who called him, Mr Gambo named the general manager of citizenship, Geoff May.
Mr Gambo said he told Mr Yan at a meeting in May 2008 that it was unlikely he would get citizenship because there were so many unresolved issues.
"He said to me, 'I'm confident it will be okay. I've got a lot of support from the MPs'."
In cross-examination, defence lawyer David Jones, QC, suggested to Mr Gambo that he was lying and said there was no documentation of his conversation with Mr Yan.
Mr Gambo denied he was lying and another Internal Affairs citizenship officer, Judith Broad, was later called to give evidence.
She recalled Mr Gambo telling her and other staff members that Mr Yan was confident of getting citizenship despite the questions over his application.
"He came back into the back office and said, 'Mr Liu is very confident he is going to get citizenship because he has got lots of backing and support from MPs'," said Ms Broad.
She described this as "shocking…"
How does this stack up with the obligation to be "professional and responsive", to treat everyone "fairly and with respect" and to "act lawfully and objectively"? Or is it explained by "respecting the authority of the government".
According to the Herald, the Serious Fraud Office director has approached the Auditor-General to signal interest in the case.
