The Bulldogs bested the Garden County Eagles at home Sept. 4, in three sets going 25-23, 24-26 and 25-10. Brittany Nelson put 14 kills on the board against the Eagles. Jocelyn Pohl let the team in aces with 4.
They then played the Mitchell Tigers on Saturday, losing in two set, 20-25 and 19-25. Kyler Watts, Macie Miller and Nelson led the team in digs, putting up 13, 12 and 11, respectively.
They came back Saturday to defeat the Potter- Dix Coyotes in two sets, 25-14 and 25-18. Nelson again led the team in kills putting 11 up. Watts and Nein each had 7 digs.


Hulu, yet another example of an industry trying its best to maintain its business model with minmal innovation in the face of a rapidly changing world. "Remember that Woody Allen movie "Take the Money and Run" where Woody's character keeps getting his glasses broken by bullies and finally in one scene when he is confronted again he takes them off himself and smashes them? Well, that's the kind of logic the industry used on Hulu." This according to Joe Flint of the LA Times yesterday morning and Joe's right...But there's more.
As the LA Times reported, Hulu, the popular online site for watching television shows, is preparing to execute the toughest maneuver in digital media: moving from free to pay. The service will begin testing a subscription offering as soon as May 24, according to people with knowledge of the plans.
Under the proposal, Hulu would continue to provide for free the five most recent episodes of shows such as Fox's " Glee," ABC's "Modern Family" and NBC's "Saturday Night Live." But viewers who want to see additional episodes would pay $9.95 a month to access a more comprehensive selection, called Hulu Plus, these people said.
Its important to remember something when you consider Hulu , its owned by a consortium of content creators, News Corp., NBC Universal and Walt Disney Co., who want to preserve the cable and satellite fees that pay for the high cost of TV production. In other words these guys want to make certain they continue to be paid vast sums of money for what they make. They don't want their business model to change; its too profitable. Therein lies a bit of Joe's analogy and therein lies the pickle Hulu is in. They have to control the distribution channel to realize their goals.
According to the LA Times story on the topic "Television executives don't want to suffer the same fate as music industry or newspapers, which saw revenues plummet after users flocked to free access to songs, stories and classified ads online. Already, Hulu fans are decrying the proposal and threatening to turn to Internet pirate sites to watch their favorite shows."
With all of the alternate means of distribution emerging, the days of owning both content creation and its distribution will become harder, without of course sacrificing FAT margins. The existing scheme of content creators owning distribution channels should be discouraged to increase competition and improve quality and diversity. In the end the consumer will decide, no matter the media industry's continued manipulation of the government to protect its interests (watch Lessig). To this point read the "Economics of Free" and "Kindle vs. Publishers, the Wrong Debate".
The essence is competition and value. Competition for content and the value extracted by organizations who are mainly middle men; intermediaries between creation and the utlimate consumer is coming under attack in all industries. As I wrote in Kindle vs. Publishers, the Wrong Debate, "Its all about economics. In a business where barriers to entry used to be up front costs in promotion, development, distribution and production, new business models have emerged to render the past value of publishers increasingly mute." There is a reason Apple is one of the largest distributors of content in the world now - economics.
Many people believe that "The challenge will be whether Hulu Plus has enough 'added value' so that consumers perceive that it's worth the price," said Michael McGuire, media analyst with research firm Gartner. While true that is really a near term problem. The challenge for the owners of Hulu is wether they can keep extracting their margins for what they do given the rise of so may distribution and content alternatives ala Netflix and others.

Live Oak County wreck leaves 6 people dead
GEORGE WEST, TX, (December 30, 2022) - The Texas Department of Public Safety says at least six people lost their lives in a head-on crash on U.S. Route 59, 54 miles northeast of MP-740.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says at least six people lost their lives following a head-on crash on U.S. Route 59, 54 miles northeast of MP-740.
A Chrysler Town and Country, a Nissan Altima, and a Chevrolet Suburban were involved in the collision that happened on Dec. 30, at approximately 6:22 p.m. near George West, Live Oak County.
According to DPS officials, the driver of the Chrysler was traveling southwest on US-59 on a two-way unprotected median roadway. At some point, the van attempted to go around a vehicle in a no-passing zone and crashed head-on with a Chevrolet Suburban that was going northeast. Shortly afterward, the Nissan driver then slammed into the Suburban from behind.
Two occupants, including a minor, of the Chrysler Town and Country, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Suburban was also declared dead on the scene. Two passengers in the Suburban, one of whom was identified as Honorio Lazo Navarro, 74, of Ganado, and a passenger in the Nissan Altima were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officials say five people were brought to Christus Spohn Hospital in Beeville with non-life-threatening injuries.
DPS troopers will be conducting a thorough investigation into the deadly accident.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Victims like Navarro are killed in motor vehicle accidents across our country, and many times it is not their fault.
Head-on crashes are the most dangerous types of accidents on our roadways, and as this incident illustrates, the results can often be catastrophic. Although only 2 % of crashes are head-on crashes in the United States, they account for over 10 % of all crash-related fatalities.
Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted into the crash by a seasoned lawyer to protect the rights of the victim's family.
"Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of the victim must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently," said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.
"Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family during this difficult time while vigorously protecting their legal rights and interests."
Pending the investigation, the family of Navarro may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this incident.
"The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident," said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.
"We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."
A wrongful death attorney has to assist families whose lives have been suddenly impacted.

The idea of arming antibodies with other molecular moieties such as toxins or chemotherapeutics dates back to the 1980s, when such antibodies were first being developed for clinical use. Today, so called "naked" antibodies are being harnessed to fight cancer cells in many different forms – several of which have become blockbuster therapies. Theoretically, if coupled to cytotoxic substances, antibodies could become even more powerful while eliciting fewer side-effects. Despite these hypothetical advantages and the huge R&D outlays, particularly in Oncology, few antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) exist in today's market. In 2000, gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg™) - intended to treat acute myeloid leukemia - became the first ADC to make it to the clinic. It was voluntarily withdrawn from the market in 2012 after post-marketing surveillance data showed it did not improve the chances of survival, but heightened the risk of fatal toxicity.
In February 2011, brentuximab vedotin of Seattle Genetics was approved by the FDA. It is the only ADC currently on the market. This antibody is directed against membrane protein CD30, present on the white blood cells of Hodgkin lymphoma. Linked to the antibody are three to five molecules of the toxin monomethylauristatine E (MMAE, vedotin). This powerful tubulin-inhibitor strongly impairs cell division and ultimately leads to apoptotic cell death. Vedotin is so toxic to healthy tissues that it cannot be used as a stand-alone chemotherapeutic. In this preparation, it is coupled to brentuximab by a bridge of two aminoacids. When brentuximabvedotin binds to CD30, the ADC-CD30 complex is internalized and transported to the lysosomes. Proteases within the lysosomes split the aminoacid bridge and the deadly payload becomes active at its destination: in the CD30-positive white blood cell.
Three building blocks - (1) antibody, (2) linker and (3) toxin - are characteristic of all ADCs. Dozens of ADCs are currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of a variety of cancers. Many others are making their way through preclinical development.
This increased attention to ADCs has been triggered by advances in linker chemistries. Modern linker chemistries with enhanced stability have been developed to ensure that ADCs remain intact until they reach their target cells.
The dissociation of modern linker chemistries is driven by enzymatic degradation in the target cell, whereas early generation dissociation was a pH-dependent process. For instance, Mylotarg's hydrazon linker was stable at neutral blood pH, but would dissociate at the lower pH levels found in lysosomes. Despite this failsafe, a fair percentage of the toxin was liberated into the blood stream. New linker chemistries are about ten times more stable than previous generations.
These recent advancements in linker chemistries have led a lot of biotech companies to take another look at their portfolios of "naked" antibodies. Antibodies that have failed in Phase I or II are being scrutinized again. In addition to novel antibodies, already-approved antibodies are also being used as bases for ADCs. After positive Phase II studies, Genentech is now conducting Phase III studies for an ADC of trastuzumab linked to the cytotoxic agent, emtansine in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. The company has recently filed a BLA with the USFDA. The advantage of using a therapeutically proven antibody agent such as trastuzumab is that there is already a lot known about the antibody itself as well as its pharmacological target, which in this case is the tumor cell membrane protein HER2.
he efficacy of an ADC is largely dependent upon how many copies of the target are expressed on the tumor cells and how fast the ADC is being transported into the tumor cell. In general, rather high copy numbers (> 100 000 per cell) are required to import enough toxin to kill the cell. Despite advances in ADC engineering, only a fraction of the total injected antibody dose can be effectively delivered to the target tumor. Hence the cytotoxic agent bound to the antibody needs to be highly potent so that any ADCs that do reach their target cells have the maximum killing potential.
This highly complex balancing act is typical for the development of ADCs, which not only requires the merging of biotechnology - and organic chemistry-derived technologies but also requires a thorough understanding of the biological complexity of the targets as well as the handling of extremely potent toxins. Nonetheless, future prospects for ADCs seem to be bright even though it has been hard to predict how certain tumor types will actually respond to treatment. Only clinical trials can predict how well this promise will pay off to benefit patients.
Convinced that ADCs have extensive potential for therapeutic applications and may present significant medical breakthroughs over the coming decade, particularly in cancer treatment, several companies, both big and small, are active in the field.
The two technology platform pioneers in the field, Seattle Genetics and ImmunoGen, have many collaborators. Seattle Genetics is working with Genentech, Millennium, GlaxoSmithKline, Celldex, Progenics, Bayer, Daiichi Sankyo, MedImmune and Astellas. ImmunoGen is working with Genentech, Sanofi–Aventis, Amgen, Biogen Idec, Biotest and Bayer.
There is no longer any doubt that ADC technology works, and many antibodies have been developed to bind to a wide variety of antigens. These new antibodies only need additional factors to turn them into effective and potent therapies. The next few years will likely bring impressive advances in the various pieces of ADC technology: the antibodies, the drugs, the linkers that bind them together, and newfound targets for the ADCs to attack.

Kappa Mikey is an American animated comedy television series created by Larry Schwarz. The show is Nicktoons Network's first original half-hour series, bought during the same period as other Animation Collective series such as Three Delivery and Speed Racer: The Next Generation, as well as Flash shows from other studios, such as Edgar & Ellen and The Secret Show, though the latter was made from BBC. The series premiered on February 25, 2006 and ended on September 20, 2008. The series is MTV's first global acquisition, and was available on iTunes until 2009.

Kappa Mikey was marketed as "the first anime to be produced entirely in the United States", according to press releases from MTV, Nicktoons Network and various other sources, as the term anime in English is generally reserved for animation originally produced for the Japanese market. It uses Japanese animation and culture as inspiration for its concept, rather than being "true" anime, and is often regarded as being an homage towards or parody of Japanese anime.
PlotEdit
The series focuses on a rather self-centered, cocky adolescent American boy named Mikey who wins a starring role in a popular Japanese television series LilyMu by scratching off a lottery card. The show-within-a-show centers on a team of crime-fighters with personalities based around typical anime characters. Mikey becomes acquainted with his co-stars, including Gonard, a sweet gluttonous dimwitted parody of Goku who plays the primary antagonist of the LilyMu series; Lily, the spoiled, heartless portrayer of the otherwise ingenuous and sweet damsel-in-distress of LilyMu who contempts Mikey for having overtaken her limelight; Mitsuki, a sensitive actress infatuated with Mikey who plays a much tougher character in the series than in reality; and Guano, a small, fuzzy, purple creature parodying Pikachu with many insecurities, responsibilities, strange habits and tendencies. The program in which the actors are featured is run by a tyrannical, strict and loud boss Ozu who is not only noted for his sour demeanor and constant infuriation with Mikey, but also his mentoring guidance. Ozu is aided by Yes-Man, his dedicated and trustworthy assistant who loyally upholds him and agrees with his every decision. The series centers on the actors' daily lives, aside from filming the television program and the predicaments in which they may entangle themselves at the hands of their own cockiness, incompetence, or celebrity status, and episodes usually feature sub-plots following the lives of whichever characters are not being primarily featured in that particular episode. The series relies heavily on gags and anime parodies for comedy.
ProductionEdit
The show's title is a play on the word kappamaki, a type of sushi. It is suggested that the show was the inspiration for naming the title character "Mikey" and used the prefix "kappa". Like Mikey, who is a "fish out of water" in Japan, the kappa itself is a water demon creature who can live on land. The kappas first appeared on this show in the episode "Mikey, Kappa" on August 5, 2007, where the origin of the title was explained. Coincidentally, Mikey also shares his name with the actor who supplies his voice.
Kappa Mikey is different from other cartoons produced at the turn of the 21st century, in that the property was owned by the studio instead of an agency, the animation was not outsourced and the episodes were written by a full-time staff. After producing Internet-based projects and television spots, the series became Animation Collective's first television series. The series was produced in New York City starting from the summer of 2005.[1] Production for the two seasons wrapped in September 2007.
Schwarz conceived the series in 2000, when he was running Rumpus toys, a toy design company in New York City, but they folded before any storyboarding could commence. They resurfaced years later as Animation Collective, and produced an early test pilot for a pitch to MTV Networks, where the character designs and backgrounds resembled more like those found in Adult Swim series Perfect Hair Forever, and the humor was also more adult-oriented. Much of the current cast was voicing their characters even this early in production. MTV declined the deal, and Nickelodeon eventually picked up the project. The series was tweaked heavily in order to be aimed at a younger audience. Voice talents were usually local, and its audio was recorded at Manhattan-based NYAV Post, which Michael Sinterniklaas owns. Larry Schwarz, along with the other executive producers, oversaw all phases of production, but only had writing credits on the pilot episode, "Mikey Impossible" and "A Christmas Mikey". All the episodes were directed by Sergei Aniskov. The instrumental score was composed by John Angier, who also wrote the lyrics to "The Recycling Song", "Ori and Yori's Hits", "Living With Mikey", "How Did We Get Here?" and the songs from "The Karaoke Episode".
The series was animated in Adobe Flash, with some moments of CGI rendered in Maya. To further emphasize the contrast in animation styles, one group of animators was assigned to the anime characters, and another group was in charge of Mikey and the other American characters. The vehicles on LilyMu and around Tokyo, as well as the weapons, the Gonard balloon, Pirate King's ship, the Karaoke Genie Machine, etc., were created in Maya and exported into Flash using the Toon Filter. The backgrounds were modeled in Maya, and texture, details, and clouds were added in Photoshop. Some of the backgrounds were inspired by actual locations in Tokyo. The show's anime-style characters perform with large comedic overuses of face faults, such as a face and/or body turning into an exaggerated general appearance, or becoming much smaller. This allowed animators to have more control over how a character looks and acts than on many other Flash shows, and they did not always have to be on-model. The show uses clichés common to anime, including the sweat drop, lines over the eyes or no eyes at all, big heads, flaming eyes and bodies becoming smaller. Sometimes Mikey will try to do these things, which was one of the show's running gags, but cannot due to being drawn in an American style.

Home mediaEdit
A Kappa Mikey DVD was released on September 18, 2007 under the Starz Home Entertainment brand, and includes the episodes "Lost in Transportation", "Easy Come, Easy Gonard", and "The Man Who Would Be Mikey", all from the first season, as well as bonus material, including a fictional music video of "I'm Alright" taken from the episode "Battle of the Bands", wallpaper, an interactive game parodying Hollywood Squares, and a How-to-Draw-Mikey tutorial.
In 2008, the Animation Collective site advertised a second DVD that was scheduled be released sometime later that year. However, the announcement was removed from the website, leaving the exact release date to be unknown. The DVD was intended to include the first season in its entirety, with DVD extras, and would have been considered more of an "official" volume than the last one. No further announcement has been made as the status of this DVD. As of 2009, this release is shelved.
Season 1 (Episodes 1 – 13) was released on DVD on September 12, 2007 [1], and Season 2 (Episodes 14–26) was released on DVD on March 12, 2008 [2] by Anchor Bay Entertainment in Australia.
The soundtrack for "The Karaoke Episode" is available as a downloadable album on iTunes. Both seasons of the show itself were also available for download from iTunes before they were later taken down from the online retailer.

"Women in Engineering field is a sure sign of women empowerment.
are very few women working in the tech role as compared to general roles.
Moreover, women need to work on certain aspects to get successful in the field."
Women in engineering surely present a strong picture of women empowerment in today's world. However, though there are perks associated with the job, there are bound to be some challenges as well. Foremost, when you think of being a woman in the technology field, you feel as if you are a part of a very small group. Well, this is a well-established fact because the ratio of women working in the technical departments of firms is pretty much low as compared to women working in general departments. In fact, the percentage of women taking high positions in the technical departments of firms is only 10%. Now, experts are working on solving this problem.
Moreover, another reason that there are few women in the technological field is the problem with the candidate pipeline. Now, some people or recruiters say that there are not many women to select from. Well, this is one aspect that the experts and recruiters are trying to change from an educational point. Thu, the educational system needs to push for really strong and effective stem programs for having the initiatives to bring in more and more women into the Maths and Science field. Now, this initiative needs to start at the elementary school or High School to get more women in this field.
Also, it is hard for women to survive in the male-dominated industry. However, support networks can assist women in getting through this difficult situation. It is necessary for women in engineering to have people who support them around them. Moreover, when you want to reach a higher position in the tech field, you need to work on your competency. You need to be really good at what you are doing. However, it is fine not to know everything about the job but you need to feel confident about yourself. Lack of confidence or self-imposed restrictions can pose problems for women in the engineering field.
Also, women need to work on their network of support which can help them sail through the life-work balance. Also, women need to work on their body language to get successful in the field. Finally, it is imperative for women in engineering to look for a perfect coach who can help them do better in their field.


It's always interesting to see how something is done. I've tried to be conscious of this and show how I make my comics. On my Kickstarters and Patreon updates, I include concept sketches of pages that the artist puts together before the final pages. But that's about all I got. The reason is because the rest involves writing. And showing how something is written is just boring.
It's kind of like finding out how a magic trick works. You think you want to know how it's done, but when you find out how simple it is, it sort of ruins the magic. Part of what makes a magic trick special is in letting it surprise you. I think writing is the same way. The only 'magic' behind the writing process that happens is that someone spends hours of their time coming up with ideas and figuring out the best way to describe them in a cohesive narrative.
But, if you want to see a good example of behind-the-scenes, take a look at what the team for the Keeper and the Soldier videogame are doing. They regularly post videos on their YouTube channel talking about what's involved in developing an indie videogame and show how they make the art and design the levels for the game. They've also recently released their Steam Greenlight page that shows off their latest progress. If you're on Steam, be sure to go vote for them!

Is Cavani "Edin" for Miami?
By Lee Ifans on Thursday, June 27, 2019
Edinson Cavani is one of my favorite players. In the modern game reliable goalscoring centre forwards are hard to find, especially at the top level. It's a simple joy for a football fan to watch a player who just loves to score goals. And score good goals too. We've all had that player we wanted to emulate when we were a kid. For me it was the great Mark Hughes. For Cavani himself it was the phenom Gabriel Batistuta. Could kids in the 305 begin idolizing the Uruguayan marksman? It all stems from this, A follow on twitter.
Report: Inter Miami have signed Argentine striker Julián Carranza
By Abel Iraola on Sunday, June 23, 2019
News broke over the weekend that Inter Miami will soon announce the signing of their first player, Julián Carranza of Argentine club Banfield.
The outlet TyC Sports was first to report that the 19-year-old will be heading to Miami following a $6 million deal with Banfield for the striker. Carranza will remain with the club for a couple of months before Miami's inaugural season kicks off in March 2020.
According to @TyCSports, Inter Miami have agreed a $6M deal with Banfield for striker Julián Carranza (with a 10% sell-on clause). The 19-year-old will remain with El Taladro until the end of the year pic.twitter.com/WSrZXIqCen
— Peter Coates (@golazoargentino) June 21, 2019
The young forward was formed in Banfield's academy and rose up into the senior team, scoring 5 goals in 14 appearances during his 2017/18 debut season, as well as making three appearances in that season's Copa Libertadores campaign. Carranza is an exciting prospect with reports of having been scouted by Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, and Manchester United, per Argentine radio outlet Radio Continental.
When Carranza finally makes his way here, he'll likely come with some tips for life in South Florida from his former team captain, ex Miami FC striker Dario Cvitanich. "Super Dario" Cvitanich was FC's first-ever goalscorer and returned to Banfield, his youth club, in January 2017.
His return coincided with Carranza's rise into the senior team, where he played deputy to Cvitanich before taking over duties following Cvitanich's departure to Racing Club earlier this year.
Inter Miami CF denies owner David Beckham has sold ownership stake to Jorge, José Mas

FXE Futbol, LLC files lawsuit against Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beckham United
By Omar Moubayed on Tuesday, April 16, 2019
What would the Miami MLS saga be without yet another lawsuit? This time, FXE Futbol is getting in on the action.
FXE Futbol, LLC, the group that challenged Inter Miami CF for the right to redevelop Lockhart Stadium, has sued the City of Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beckham United, LLC (the holding organization behind Inter Miami). The lawsuit was first reported by the Miami Herald.
While the complaint discusses topics we have seen before, there is one wild twist that is being alleged. Perhaps the battle for Lockhart stadium isn't quite over.
At first glance the complaint, filed by attorney David J. Winker, requests that the court review the Public-Private Partnership Process with regards to the Lockhart site and the city's decision to award the project to Inter Miami.
[googlepdf url="http://magiccity.soccer/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/MC_Docket-2.pdf" download="Download" ]
"This is an action challenging the validity and effect of the frantic and, ultimately, statutorily inadequate, Public-Private Partnership Process undertaken pursuant to Fla. Stat. Sec. 255.065 by Defendant CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE"
FXE Futbol is seeking a writ of mandamus and civil action against not only the City of Fort Lauderdale but Miami Beckham United, citing damages of over $15,000. While this has been par for the course, this is the first time a competitor has filed a claim seeking to reverse the decision by a local government.
Asbestos questions
Where the petition really begins to get interesting is on line item 13. According to FXE Futbol, Inter Miami was spreading falsehoods regarding the level of asbestos present at Lockhart in its current state. FXE Futbol has outlined that Inter Miami was advising the city council that there was "a tremendous amount of asbestos present at the stadium" and therefore revitalization or renovation was not actually possible.
The complaint discusses how procedural violations were made by the City of Fort Lauderdale throughout the process, which is much like what we have seen argued and alleged against Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami. Due to this being the first complaint being filed by a competing interest, FXE Futbol is seeking monetary damages in the amount of "lost profits".
With March 2020 coming closer with each passing day, Inter Miami cannot afford another lengthy court battle that stalls the process of acquiring permits, clearance, and the demolition of Lockhart stadium. With the timeline already being questioned by the public, if this judgement is granted in favor of the plaintiffs we could see a real snag in Inter Miami's plans to open in 2020.

BREAKING: Initial appeal brief filed against Miami Freedom Park
By Omar Moubayed on Tuesday, March 26, 2019
Inter Miami CF has been thrown another curveball in the journey for a permanent home. Last week, Miami Beckham United, LLC (the ownership group that controls Inter Miami CF) decidedly beat out FXE Futbol to acquire the negotiating rights to reconstruct Lockhart Stadium in their image. As the focus begins to shift back into Miami-Dade County, Mas was confident during our conversations with him on Monday to secure a deal for the Melreese site. Just seven hours after that conversation, an appeal was filed by Miami-based attorney William Douglas Muir, seeking revision of the City of Miami's ability to negotiate with Mas on a closed-bid deal for Miami Freedom Park.

Q: assembleRelease can't generate signed apk in gitlab ci I'm trying to build signed apk with gitlab ci but i got this error:
/bin/bash: line 109: -Pandroid.injected.signing.store.file=/builds/MyGitlab/myapp/release.jks:
No such file or directory

I add variables KEYSTORE_FILE, KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, KEY_ALIAS, KEY_PASSWORD with values in gitlab ci/cd variable. I'm used base64 encoding of my keystore file.
My .gitlab-ci.yml file is as below:

  artifacts:
    paths:
      - app/build/outputs/apk/dev/release
      - app/build/outputs/apk/prod/release

Do you have any idea to resolve this issue?
Similar question exist but I got different error.

A: We shouldn't store keystore file and credentials in version control system. We can hide credentials with creating keystore.properties file and using credentials from this file in signing config part like this:
def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file("keystore.properties")
def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
android {
    ...

    signingConfigs {
        release {
            keyAlias keystoreProperties['releaseKeyAlias']
            keyPassword keystoreProperties['releaseKeyPassword']
            storeFile file(rootDir.getCanonicalPath() + '/' + keystoreProperties['releaseKeyStore'])
            storePassword keystoreProperties['releaseStorePassword']
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }

    ...
}

keystore.properties contains keystore credentials:
releaseKeyAlias=Prod
releaseKeyPassword=12345678
releaseKeyStore=release.keystore.jks
releaseStorePassword=12345678

In the siging config, release.keystore.jks keystore file is used but we will not store it the vcs. So, we need to generate keystore file before building android application in continuous integration.
Developer has keystore file and app signing keys that are visible in build.gradle. I've use this solution to secure our keystore file:
Store encrypted keystore file in version control system:
First, create a secret key for yourself:
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -k ciappsigningexample-secret -P -md sha1

It generates salt, key and iv. We'll use 256-bit secret key.
Then, encrypt your keystore file with your 256-bit secret key:
openssl aes-256-cbc -e -in debug.keystore.jks -out debug.keystore.jks.encrypted -k 99924EB44...

It will generate debug.keystore.jks.encrypted file and you can push this file to git. To decrypt your encrypted keystore in CI, you need to add your 256-bit secret key to CI as an environment. Then you can decrypt keystore file with using this secret key in pre-build step with following command:
openssl aes-256-cbc -d -in debug.keystore.jks.encrypted -k $DEBUG_ENCRYPT_SECRET_KEY >> debug.keystore.jks

From Heartburn to GERD
At my Grandmother's house, there was little for children to do after dinner but play games and eavesdrop on the grownups who sat around the table for hours after the end of the meal. Back then, the adults seldom talked about "diseases," but they did seem to think that bodies, like cars, had parts that could be relied upon to malfunction with age and abuse. Dining room table wisdom held that "heartburn" was the expected result of overindulgence in rich food, alcohol, coffee and cigarettes, and that Alka Seltzer was the best remedy. I can still recall the fizz of the tablets dissolving in water.
Renaming a symptom
Heartburn is a vivid word image for the most common gastric complaint – distressing, burning pain just beneath the breastbone. With time, technology, and advertising, heartburn has been replaced by the anatomically correct term gastro-esophageal reflux (GER), which accurately describes the source of the symptom: acid splashing up into the esophagus from the stomach. However, renaming a symptom, heartburn, with its cause, reflux, does not make it a disease, no matter how many TV commercials advertising drugs for GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) say otherwise. Diseases are sometimes associated with GER, but they are diseases that promote reflux, diseases treated with medications that promote reflux, or diseases that result from stomach acid eating away the sensitive lining of the esophagus.
How the esophagus works
Stomach acid is potent stuff, necessary to break down food and to kill off the bacteria that come along with it. Acid also helps with the absorption of vital substances like calcium, iron and Vitamin B12. The stomach lining produces acid and is remarkably resistant to its corrosive effects, unlike the lining of the esophagus above. The job of the esophagus, a muscular tube, is to assist gravity in getting food from the mouth to the stomach via a series of coordinated contractions. In its lowest portion, the esophageal muscle works like a valve. It opens to let food into the stomach and closes to hold it there as digestion begins. The esophagus can also reverse its normal action, opening the valve and emptying the stomach in a hurry, propelling its contents back out the mouth. This very unpleasant action, called vomiting, is perceived mainly as a squeezing, muscular sensation rather than a burning pain, because the exposure of the esophagus to the upward rushing acid is short-lived.
Reflux is backwards, upward flow of stomach contents to the esophagus
Reflux is a more leisurely affair. The muscular valve at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is not a tight one, and it is subject to the effects of foods and drugs, and diseases that limit its responsiveness (see sidebar). Reflux is more common in people with hiatal hernias – upward slippage of the stomach top into the chest through a weak spot in the diaphragm (muscle between the abdomen and chest). With a stomach full of actively digesting food, reflux can occur simply with lying down or bending over, positions that limit gravity's help in holding stomach contents down. And held down they must be, for at least awhile, because the stomach is a reservoir where the initial breakdown of food occurs.
The abdomen is a crowded space
The reservoir sits like a pool behind a dam, awaiting opening of the pyloric valve between the stomach and small intestine. The stomach shares close quarters with the liver, spleen, pancreas, small intestine and colon – and with fat tucked around all these organs. The more fat -and the tighter belts and pants are – the less the space available. The upper valve, between the esophagus and the stomach, is the weak link when pressure rises; it gives way while the pyloric valve holds fast, and stomach contents flow into the esophagus. The upper valve also yields in pure overeating (e.g. hot-dog eating contests), when the stomach fills faster than digestion can proceed.
Acid in the wrong location causes trouble
Chronic exposure to stomach acid inflames the lining of the esophagus, and then diseases appear – shallow erosions, deeper ulcers, and scars that interfere with swallowing. Risk of esophageal cancer rises. Acid reflux can go as high as the mouth and erode the enamel of the teeth, add to gum disease, and produce mysterious sore throats and hoarseness. Lung problems and asthma are more frequent in people with chronic reflux.
Reducing stomach acid works, but may cause other problems
Heartburn sometimes requires medical evaluation (see sidebar), but is often responsive to simple antacids like Maalox that temporarily lower stomach acidity. Powerful, safe and effective drugs called proton-pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Nexium, etc.) block the last step of acid production in the stomach. Reflux goes on, but stomach contents are no longer corrosive. But no drugs are free of unintended consequences. Without acid, food digestion is slower. Risks of pneumonia and gastrointestinal infections in long-term users rise, suggesting that in an acid-free environment, bacteria survive in the gut and spill upward into the respiratory tract. Some researchers believe that proton-pump inhibitors also turn acid production off in osteoclasts, cells that build bone, resulting in an increased rate of hip fractures in long-term users. One very worrisome statistic in the age of altering stomach acidity is a rise in rates of esophageal cancer, though the cause of the rise is not fully understood. Lack of stomach acid, however, has long been known to be a risk factor for the development of stomach cancer.
New generations have replaced my grandparents and TV and social media outdraw after-dinner talk, but heartburn, though renamed, is still just a symptom of a mechanical problem – acid reflux. Blunting the effects of acid with over-the-counter or prescription drugs is a temporary solution that does nothing for the inciting problem – the reflux. Weight loss, smoking cessation, elevation of the head of the bed (on 6-9" blocks), avoidance of large meals and offending foods and drugs, and allowing several hours to elapse between meals and bedtime are the keys to taming reflux and keeping GER from becoming GERD.
Common Factors in Patients with Heartburn:
• Obesity, the most common factor.
• Diabetes (delays stomach emptying)
• Pregnancy (space shortage + hormone effects)
• Medications: antihistamines, antidepressants, narcotics, calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure and heart disease, progesterone, anticholinergics (bladder control drugs), some sedatives and tranquilizers
• Foods: fried foods, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine and others.
• Smoking(stimulates stomach acid)
• Asthma and anti-asthmatic medications
• Hiatal hernia
• Stomach outlet obstruction by ulcer or tumor
Seek a Medical Evaluation for Heartburn that:
• Wakes you up at night
• Happens regularly, more than once a week
• Is unresponsive to simple antacids like Maalox or Rolaids
• Recurs promptly after antacids or drugs wear off
• Has associated symptoms: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, increasing abdominal girth, or blood in the stool

Intraoperative high-field MR imaging revamps neurosurgery practice
The introduction of high-field MR systems for intraoperative guidance brings neurointervention to new levels. Although it is pricey and complex compared with previous technology, high-field MR may eventually prove cost-effective by helping neurosurgeons achieve better results, reduce patient complications, and cultivate partnerships with other specialists through better scanner utilization.
Low-field intraoperative scanning has several drawbacks, including a lower spatial resolution that limits the ability to accurately define tumor margins. High-field MRI, on the other hand, allows for image acquisition during surgery with the same quality as diagnostic and postoperative examination and helps control the extent and impact of a resection. It also allows for surgical strategy changes on the go, thus acting as immediate intraoperative quality control, said Dr. Christopher Nimsky, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the University of Erlangen in Germany.
Nimsky and colleagues devised a neurosurgical scheme combining simultaneous microscope-based neuronavigation with a 1.5T MR magnet for intraoperative imaging, which replaced a 0.2T system previously in place at their institution. Unlike standard neuronavigation based on anatomic information, integrated preoperative magnetoencephalography with high-field MR capabilities such as functional imaging can be used to localize and preserve crucial brain areas associated with speech and movement, in spite of massive resections.
In addition to fMRI, more powerful systems allow for diffusion-tensor and spectroscopic imaging and high-quality angiograms, which prove particularly helpful for surgeons, said Dr. Ferenc A. Jolesz, director of the image-guided therapy program at Brigham and Women's Hospital, which has installed a 3T intraoperative scanner.
"Naturally, these scanners are bigger, more complex, and expensive to operate. But you get very high quality images to guide surgery," Jolesz said.
Although more studies are needed to justify high-field MR in patients with high-grade tumors, its effectiveness with low-grade gliomas is not in dispute. Intraoperative imaging helps secure a complete resection, reduces complications including intracerebral hemorrhage, and shortens ICU and hospital stays, Jolesz said.
Nimsky and colleagues studied 200 patients with cryptogenic epilepsy and diverse brain tumors, mostly gliomas or pituitary adenomas. The high-field intraoperative MR imaging added information that helped change some surgical strategies while patients were still on the operating table (Radiology 2004;233:67-78).
Development of intraoperative techniques has brought intervention to a highly sophisticated level requiring interdisciplinary approaches. Partnership efforts between radiologists and neurosurgeons recorded in the clinical literature testify to this trend.
"We are planning to make a big operating room, for MR and for PET/CT, to perform a wide range of oncology procedures and surgeries," Jolesz said.


We first met Heather & Dave on an exceptionally cold & windy day at a coffee shop in NYC and we knew right away that we wanted to be their wedding photographers. Their Brooklyn music venue wedding plans sounded awesome, they had a super cute pup right around the same age as ours, and we just really, truly liked them as people.
Shortly after, we met up with them again at their apartment in Park Slope for their engagement shoot. After an afternoon of walking around Prospect Park, playing with their pup, Carson and naturally talking about pizza, we fell even harder for these two.
Their July wedding was a perfect summer day in Brooklyn, warm, but not too hot. Heather had her hair & makeup done on her Park Slope back porch - which was amazing. They had a perfect first look across the street from the Bell House, and since we already did photos at Prospect Park for their Engagement, we were able to take full advantage of the entire block that the Bell House is on. City weddings are some of the most interesting to photograph, from graffitti to vibrant garage doors and bike's everywhere. Which was convinient because bikes were part of their theme!
Another perfect Brooklyn Wedding for Kamp Weddings to photograph and another 2 people that we are just so happy to have met!

Trudeau refuses to weigh in on Kurdish independence, citing Quebec experience
by Lee Berthiaume (feat. Thomas Juneau)
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pointed to his own experience in two Quebec referendums to explain why Canada won't weigh in on the push for independence by Iraq's Kurdish population.
Yet silence may not be enough if violence erupts, as many fear, and Canadian military equipment and training in Iraq ends up being used for purposes other than fighting the so-called Islamic State group.
An estimated 4 million people in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, located in the north of the country, were believed to have voted Monday in a controversial referendum that has been widely criticized.
The ballots will take days to count, but early results suggest Kurds have voted overwhelmingly in favour of independence. Kurdish officials say the results will be used to kick-start separation talks.
Many countries have come out strongly against the vote, including the U.S. and most of Iraq's neighbours, as well as Iraq's central government in Baghdad and even the UN.
But while Canadian officials have long claimed to support a united Iraq, the Liberal government has remained relatively silent on the Kurdish referendum.
Many have suspected that Canada was staying quiet because of its own history with referendums in Quebec, which Trudeau all but confirmed during an event in Toronto on Monday.
"As a Quebecer, I'm very sensitive to other countries weighing in on internal decisions around the future of a country or separation questions," Trudeau said.
"I was involved in two referendum campaigns in Canada where we very much appreciated foreign interlocutors not weighing in on what Quebecers should be choosing and what Canadians should be choosing."
The independence referendum is a landmark event for Iraqi Kurds, who suffered under Saddam Hussein's rule, but have enjoyed a large degree of autonomy under the post-Hussein constitution adopted in 2005.
But there have also been persistent fears of violence, given several seemingly intractable land disputes between Baghdad and the Kurdish capital, Erbil, particularly when it comes to ownership of the city of Kirkuk.
The Kurdish government opted to hold the referendum in these so-called disputed territories despite Baghdad's objections and both sides have threatened to use force to defend what they see as theirs.
Canadian officials warned about exactly this in a briefing note to Trudeau in November 2015, saying the war with ISIL had let the Kurds "expand into disputed territory in northern Iraq, including the oil-rich city of Kirkuk."
"Should the (ISIL) threat recede, Baghdad will have to contend with a range of land disputes with the (Kurds), as well as strengthened Iraqi Kurdish forces, which have received training and equipment from coalition members, including Canada."
The Liberal government responded by increasing Canada's support to the Kurds, which included tripling the number of Canadian military trainers and promising to provide the Kurds with weapons.
Thomas Juneau, an expert on Middle East politics at the University of Ottawa, said it made sense to help the Kurds against ISIL, but Canada will have to live with the consequences if that support is used for other purposes.
"We are supporting the Kurds," he said. "If violence breaks out we are taking a side. We would have to live with that reality."

2019: An Important Anniversary
This year marks the 75th anniversary of many major battles that turned the tide for the Allies in World War II. D-Day, Bastogne, Anzio, Monte Cassino, the Leyte Gulf and more are forever etched in the minds of many millions of people. Yes sir, 1944 was a very bad year for the Axis.
For those who fought in those titanic struggles for freedom, 2019 designates the last of the major anniversaries they will see. Most of whom are at least 90 and older today, they obviously won't be around for the centennial celebrations in 2044. Of course, many of the rest of us won't as well, but then we didn't serve in "The Big One," as Dad liked to call it, either.
In a world that seems bent on forgetting its past, the Greatest Generation members who won that war, both at the front and the loved ones on the home front—including my parents—are unforgettable. No matter race, gender, creed or nationality, the Greatest Generation represents most of what's good, wise, brave and kind about humanity.
Memories of them are indelible because their deeds are manifest in the subsequent accomplishments and successes apparent everywhere on the globe, including from the bounty of the USA to the remarkable recoveries of two of the Axis powers most devastated by the conflict: Germany and Japan.
Custom Knives & World War II

The argument can be made that the custom knife industry can trace its roots to World War II. It was during the war that such knifemakers as BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame® members Bo Randall, Rudy Ruana, William Scagel, M.H. Cole and Dan Dennehy made knives for the troops. Dennehy, in fact, both made knives for the troops during the war and also served in it, joining the Navy in 1940 and seeing action in the Saipan, Philippines and other campaigns.
Other well-known makers to fashion knives for the troops during the war included Floyd Nichols, Hoyt Buck, David Murphy, John Ek, Donald W. Moore, Frank Richtig, E.W. Stone, John Nelson Cooper and no doubt more. Each played a role in inspiring what today is the modern custom knife industry.

World War II: Special Tasks Required Special Knives
The Case V-42 opened up new possibilities in knife design, proven on the battlefields of World War II. (Case photo)
And then there were those who used knives in the war, people such as U.S. Army Corporal Eugene "Gene" Gutierrez of the First Special Service Force (FSSF). It was the FSSF that carried the legendary Case V-42 dagger and was comprised of specialists in mountain climbing, skiing, demolition and airborne ops.
Gene Gutierrez
Wounded eight times in combat, Gene was with the FSSF when it scaled the 10,000-foot-high Monte la Difensa in the Italian campaign and dislodged the occupying Germans.
The climb was "pretty much straight up," he said of the monumental effort. It took all night under one of the heaviest artillery barrages of the war, but the Forcemen made it up the mountain and routed the enemy. Later the FSSF was inserted at Anzio, where they pushed the Germans back again.
According to Gene, the Forcemen also were specialists in psychological warfare. While on night patrol they would paint their faces black and, after dispatching Germans, leave notes on the vanquished enemy bodies that read, "The worst is yet to come." The Germans who found the notes nicknamed the Forcemen the Black Devils, aka the famous Devil's Brigade.
Ninety-eight now, Gene is one of the last of a rapidly vanishing breed. The surviving Forcemen get together for reunions when possible, and Gene has served as the president of their association twice. They are among the leading members of the only generation that is truly unforgettable.

Q: IntellIJ editor doesn't appear I updated my IntellIJ install to the latest version (11.1.4) and now the Editor window doesn't appear. Double-clicking on the file, jump-to-source, nothing happens. No error message, it just doesn't appear. If I double-click on an xml layout file the preview window works, but no Editor window. Have installed and reinstalled; went back to an earlier version and it doesn't work there either. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Update: Editor works if I create a new project.
Update 2: idea.log file includes this (I don't know what ins.android.sdk.AndroidSdkData is):

A: In case of this kind of problems the first thing to check is idea.log file (Help | Reveal Log in ...).
It may help to understand what is going wrong and in some cases you'll be able to identify the root case from the logged exception (like corrupted caches or some incompatible plug-in).
File | Invalidate Caches is the next thing to try. If it doesn't fix the problem, go to the Plugins settings and disable/uninstall all the non-bundled plug-ins (if you have any).
Didn't help? If work needs to be done urgently and you have no time to investigate further, rename/delete IDEA folders (config, caches, plugins) to start with all the defaults and create a new project.
Want to preserve the settings and project files? Contact support with idea.log to get it resolved.


I (Thomas Joy) had heard a lot about India from friends who had visited this country famous for its cultural heritage. On my way to India, I had a brief stop-over in Singapore. The flight to Singapore was good, and I had a few hours in transit in Singapore before I boarded my next flight to New Delhi. I utilized these few hours for sight-seeing, and the first word that came to my mind on my way from the airport to the city-center was "beautiful". It was nice to see so much greenery on my way, and then the concrete structures started outnumbering the natural vegetation, and I realized that I was approaching the city. Singapore is colorful – the boat ride across the town, watching people dance in colorful clothes, everything was amazing.
I landed at the International Airport in Delhi late night on Saturday, October 7th, 2006. VisaPro India team members were already there to receive me and we reached our hotel close to midnight. Being an early morning person, I woke up at 5 am local time and started reviewing the materials for the immigration events and preparing the presentation. For breakfast, I had "idlis" and "sambar". Idli is a kind of steamed dough made of rice flour. Sambar is a famous South Indian vegetable curry that goes with a lot of dishes. Since this was my first visit to India and I was yet to adjust to the environment and food habits, VisaPro India team made sure I avoided too spicy or oily food. The whole of Sunday was spent fine-tuning the presentation materials and discussing about the type of audience expected, the most common queries received at VisaPro India office, and learning about the policies and procedures at the consulates in India.
Monday was the day of our seminar in New Delhi. The venue, Claridges Hotel was excellent. Located in the heart of the city, The Claridges has been a landmark in Delhi since the 1950's. I was equally impressed by the professionalism with which the event arrangements were handled by VisaPro India team. As expected, the audience was intelligent. Over 100 attendees comprising of HR professionals, legal professionals, CEOs and other executives from various companies were present. During the break for high-tea, I had an opportunity to interact with the audience and understand their issues. This also gave me more ideas regarding the type of questions I may need to answer in the Questions and Answers (Q&A) section of the program.
I liked the mock-interview session where we called one of the attendees for a visa interview. The volunteer for the visa interview had already appeared for a real B-1 visa interview once and an H-1B visa interview twice at the U.S. consulate earlier. Thus, he answered all my questions very well and, needless to say, I had to grant him the visa. The Q&A session was even more interesting as the situations presented by the attendees were quite unique. I had a tough time understanding the handwriting of some persons, and I suggested to the VisaPro India team that the Question Cards should be screened in advance or the person asking the question should be given an opportunity to explain what he had written. Overall our first seminar went as planned, it started on time and ended on time, and we were able to give an opportunity to almost everyone in the audience to present their issues and ask questions.
Since I had a packed schedule for the whole week, I didn't get much time for sight-seeing. We had another seminar in Pune the next day, and had a couple of hours between the time we wrapped everything up in Delhi and the scheduled departure time for our flight to Pune. We stopped by at a restaurant on our way to the airport to pick up something for dinner and this is how I tasted "biryani", a dish made of rice and vegetables. I heard that non-vegetarian biryani is awesome, but I had to resist it, to avoid going into the seminars and workshops during the week with an upset stomach. From Delhi to Pune we flew "Kingfisher Airlines" and had a nice flight. We reached Pune much beyond midnight, looking forward towards managing a much bigger event, which has over 220 attendees.

Some 220 million light years away lies this wreckage of a billion-year old cosmic collision, formed from two galaxies that crashed into one another and merged.

NGC 7252, the Atoms for Peace Galaxy.
The newly-combined galaxy is known as NGC 7252 and, if you look closely at this Hubble Space Telescope image, you can see what appears to be a small spiral galaxy nestled within the midst of complex rings and loops of stars and gas thrown about by the merger. This small spiral, just 10,000 light years across and rotating in the opposite direction, is believed to be the remnant of one of the galaxies that took part in the collision. You may also notice that the centre of the galaxy has a bluish tint to it, the result of hundreds of hot, young and extremely massive ultra-luminous stars, formed in the aftermath of the collision as gravitational forces violently disturbed nascent nebulae. These blue stars come in clusters, including one, named W3, that is the most luminous star cluster known.
The loops of gas and dust and stars that encircle NGC 7252 look somewhat similar to the orbits of electrons around the nucleus of an atom. Perhaps better seen in wide-field images, NGC 7252's appearance has earned it the nickname the 'Atoms of Peace' Galaxy, after a phrase coined by President of the United States Dwight Eisenhower in 1961, regarding using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
For amateur astronomers wishing to track down the Atoms of Peace for themselves, they can find the galaxy glowing dimly at magnitude +12.7 in the constellation of Aquarius.
