I cannot get the small trophy picture of the COPA America to show. The regular size logo still works.
Will you be doing more in the future. I'm thinking of the Community Shield for example, which will no doubt change sponsors at some stage. Also pleasing is that you have only changed logos for cup competitions, as the leagues tend to have a more permanent sponsor. Nice job, well done.
Which logos did you use to update to the trophies? I only ask because when I copied the new folder to my graphics file, some of my logos reverted to the old ones. For example, my logo for the Capital One cup reverted to the Carling cup. I trust you didn't use an old logo file.
Version 2 released with more trophies from around the world plus a few other logo fixes.
Dolfin152 - charity shield and english league cup are included in the trophies i have added.
Hi, Ive just downloaded your file, extracted the contents into graphics/logo however the actual trophies do not appear in game. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
unless your using your own data folder which you can link to in preferences.
Click "Reload Skin" button at the bottom.
Ive got it working, many thanks. I realised I had to put the file into my backgrounds folder within the skin I am using. Again many thanks.
Do you know if it is possible to change the plain silhouette trophies on the honours page of the club history to the proper trophies?
This is not possible because the program only uses this template to display ALL cups you won. so if you change it to the FA Cup i.e., it will always display the FA Cup for ALL trophies you won.
Did you reload the skin afterwards?
Hi newbie here, just want to say thanks for this as im enjoying it, but can i ask is it possible to get the trophies for here?
just like the top left here?
Davey Boy - If you look a few posts above, JCash3000 has answered that question.

THE ABF Malaysia Bond Index Fund (ABFMY1) was the first Malaysian exchange-traded fund (ETF) to be listed on Bursa Malaysia on July 18, 2005 with a total of 537.4 million units at a net asset value (NAV) price of RM1.0434, giving it a total market capitalisation of RM560.7mil.
The ABFMY1 also made history as it was the first bond ETF to be listed on the market, well before any equity-based ETF. It took almost two years before the next ETF was listed - the FBM KLCI ETF with a market capitalisation of RM81.1mil in July 2007. To date, Malaysia has some 10 listed ETFs (inclusive of a Gold ETF and eight other equity index-based ETFs) with a combined market capitalisation of about RM2.04bil.
Out of this amount, RM1.47bil in market capitalisation is related to ABFMY1 while another RM41.3mil is the Gold ETF, which are both not equity-based ETFs.
With a market capitalisation of about RM2bil, the ETFs listed on Bursa Malaysia only represent 0.11% of the overall market capitalisation of about RM1.751 trillion. Clearly, ETFs have not gained the traction that many had hoped for since they were first introduced in 2005.
Analysing the size of the individual ETFs, five of them have shrunk, with the total number of units in circulation declining by between 10% and 97%, while five others have seen growth in the number of units in circulation of between 3% and 345%. In terms of size, since the inception of the respective ETFs, the total market capitalisation has only increased by 27%, ie, from RM1.6bil to RM2.04bil.
Basically, an ETF is just like a stock that either tracks an index, a commodity, bonds or a basket of stocks. ETFs do change in price as they are traded in the market, but the underlying asset class typically provides the value they stand for.
The advantage of an ETF investment is its ability to mirror an index or its underlying asset at a lower cost. It is also cheaper to invest than unit trusts due to lower management fees.
According to EY Global ETF Research 2017, as at the end of September last year, the global asset under management (AUM) was about US$4.4 trillion and has grown at a pace of about 21% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2005.
The report also stated that its survey respondents predict ETF to grow at 15% per annum over the next three to five years and could reach US$7.6 trillion by 2020.
Indeed, the ETF market continues to grow and based on ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm, assets invested in ETFs and exchange-traded products (ETPs) listed globally broke through the US$5 trillion milestone at the end of May 2018 to reach US$5.004 trillion.
For global investors who want to have exposure to the Malaysian market, the most obvious choice is the iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF, which presently has a market capitalisation of about US$416mil (RM1.66bil). It is a relatively active ETF, as about 7% of total units outstanding trade daily.
How is Malaysia positioning to capture the growth of this ETF phenomenon is left to be seen, as clearly, ETFs in Malaysia are not well received by both the investing public and institutional investors.
Even the benchmark FBM KLCI, which has a wide following among both local and foreign institutions, sees very little traction coming from the ETF product of the index. It has only 1.672 million units in circulation and a market capitalisation of less than RM3mil.
The question is why? It is widely understood that Bursa Malaysia together with participating organisations have carried out numerous road shows to educate the public, and to a large extent, individual or retail investors do understand the product in general as it is popular in markets like South Korea. However, the liquidity of some of these ETFs has left many investors scratching their heads as they are rather difficult to trade, given the level of interest seen among the ETFs.
The equity-based ETFs too are rather illiquid despite the recent claim by i-VCAP Management that some of its ETFs saw trading volume rise significantly for the first four months of this year compared with a year ago.
Hence, there is an urgent need for greater participation among investors, especially among institutional investors, as looking at the size of some of the listed ETFs, institutional investors are largely absent.
Perhaps, the Securities Commission can play a greater role in approving the mandate given to unit trust products where a certain portion of the asset allocation, say 10% to 20%, will be allowed to invest in ETFs.
This would give fund managers greater flexibility, as its beta performance can be gained by its ETF exposure while the alpha is derived from the fund managers' ability to pick market winners.
Asset management companies too should treat ETFs as if they are stocks under its approved investment mandate, as clearly, although the ETFs do act like another collective investment schemes or unit trusts, they in actual fact mirror the underlying assets.
With an AUM of more than RM770bil, the Malaysian fund management industry can benefit greatly with an ETF market which is more vibrant and active. As for the market makers, it is also time to be more creative with more sophisticated ETFs, which among others include Inverse ETFs as well as Leverage ETFs, other than the traditional benchmark indices.
By the way, we should encourage greater ETF products which are tied to market themes like Finance ETFs, Property ETFs, REITs ETFs, Oil & Gas ETFs, etc. This would provide investors an easier choice to trade, given a particular market theme.

However, developing a credible materiality matrix is not an easy task and requires engagement and support from senior management. Additionally, businesses have to overcome business-induced complexities related to their specific business models and so risk losing focus on what matters most during the process, ending up with a long list of materialities in their matrices. So what is the impact of this?
A study conducted by Harvard Business Review researchers Khan, Sarafeim, and Yoon in 2015 examined whether a focus on material and/or immaterial ESG issues had an impact on the total shareholders return. The study revealed that companies focused on achieving a high performance on selected material topics outperformed their peers in terms of total shareholders returns by almost 5%. Companies that focused on both material and immaterial ESG issues also showed better returns than companies that only concentrated on immaterial topics (+1,5%). Concentrating on fewer material ESG issues and acting upon them is evidently bringing higher shareholder returns than having a long and undifferentiated list of sustainability-related material topics.
Define key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and investors. This also includes an analysis of the stakeholder's relevance to the business.
Create a longlist of materialities. The longlist can be developed through the use of big data, sector analyses and ESG framework analyses and is generally composed of circa 30 material issues.
Prune longlist into shortlist. Analysis of all relevant stakeholders through interviews, surveys, and workshops to come to a shortlist of material issues of approximately 25 issues.
Determine and rate the business impact in terms of risks and opportunities. For each identified material issue, rate the business impact such as the influence on revenue. The impact can be both positive and negative.
Create a first draft materiality matrix which still needs to be validated.
Deliver the final materiality matrix which is ready for communication and alignment with the sustainability strategy.
Finch & Beak has developed a state-of-the-art approach to materiality concentrating on real impact. The Re-Fresh Materiality Update follows the above steps and uses a big data tool to come to the most effective and easy-to-organize materiality assessment. An additional action plan is also delivered and intended to be used to accelerate performance on top material issues.

I'm currently helping a customer to migrate a *really large* web application from ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0 (round about 130 projects in the master solution...).
I always liked FxCop but enabling "Code Analysis" manually is way to complicated (or not geekish enough?!?). So I wrote this small macro this morning.
What does this mean? Something like I can have Code analysis in my Visual Studio 2005 projects using a marco. I heard that integrated code analysis is applicable only for VSTS.

The Garret in Berne
Dürrenmatt loved to paint the rooms in which he stayed for shorter or longer periods of time. In 1942/43, for the first time he surrounded himself with his own works, covering the walls of his student's garret in Berne with huge, colourful frescoes depicting subjects drawn from mythology, the Bible, contemporary history and his own biography. One wall, devoted to contemporary events, features numerous politicians; the imagery on the others is connected to his literary output (e.g. to his play The Button) or various religious subjects (e.g. the Crucifixion, Salome with the head of St. John the Baptist). He also depicted, in strip-cartoon fashion, his love story with Lotti Geissler.
Since repainted and restored, today the garret serves as a guestroom for Berne's cultural institutions.
Traces of Dürrenmatt's artistic bent can also be found in his residence in Neuchâtel, where he painted the toilet room with vividly coloured, grinning figures. He and his family subsequently christened the place the "Sistine Chapel", and its joyous "fresco" now belongs to the Centre's permanent exhibition.

Want to use decorators, but still need to support Python 2.3? Wish you could have class decorators, decorate arbitrary assignments, or match decorated function signatures to their original functions? Want to get metaclass features without creating metaclasses? How about synchronized methods?
This standalone version is backward-compatible with the bundled versions, so you can mix and match decorators from this package with those provided by zope.interface, TurboGears, etc.
For complete documentation, see the DecoratorTools manual.
Fixed metaclass collisions in classy subclasses that mix in abstract classes (e.g. collections.Sequence) in Python 2.6+.
Added synchronized decorator to support locking objects during method execution.
Added classy base class that allows you to do the most often-needed metaclass behviors without needing an actual metaclass.
Added enclosing_frame() function, so that complex decorators that call DecoratorTools functions while being called by DecoratorTools functions, will work correctly.
Added support for debugging generated code, including the code generated by rewrap() and template_function.
decorate_class() will no longer apply duplicate class decorator callbacks unless the allow_duplicates argument is true.
The struct() decorator makes it easy to create tuple-like data structure types, by decorating a constructor function.
Set up decorator to be passed the containing class after its creation.
This function is designed to be called by a decorator factory function executed in a class suite. It is not used directly; instead you simply give your users a "magic function" to call in the body of the appropriate class. Your "magic function" (i.e. a decorator factory function) then calls decorate_class to register the decorator to be called when the class is created. Multiple decorators may be used within a single class, although they must all appear after the __metaclass__ declaration, if there is one.
In the above example, demo_class_decorator() is the decorator factory function, and its inner function decorator is what gets called to actually decorate the class. Notice that the factory function has to be called within the class body, even if it doesn't take any arguments.
If you are just creating simple class decorators, you don't need to worry about the depth or frame arguments here. However, if you are creating routines that are intended to be used within other class or method decorators, you will need to pay attention to these arguments to ensure that decorate_class() can find the frame where the class is being defined. In general, the simplest way to do this is for the function that's called in the class body to get its caller's frame with sys._getframe(1), and then pass that frame down to whatever code will be calling decorate_class(). Alternately, you can specify the depth that decorate_class() should call sys._getframe() with, but this can be a bit trickier to compute correctly.
...         print "in method 1"
...         print "back in method 1"
...         print "in method 2"
The function should return a tuple of values in the same order as its argument names, as it will be used by the class' constructor. The function can perform validation, add defaults, and/or do type conversions on the values.
...     def foo(self): print "bar"
Note that using mixin classes will result in your new class' instances having a __dict__ attribute, unless they are new-style classes that set __slots__ to an empty list. And if they have any slots other than __weakref__ or __dict__, this will cause a type error due to layout conflicts. In general, it's best to use mixins only for adding methods, not data.
The rewrap() function returns you a new function object with the same attributes (including __doc__, __dict__, __name__, __module__, etc.) as the original function, but which calls the decorated function.
As you can see, the process is somewhat more complex. Any values you wish the generated function to be able to access (aside from builtins) must be declared as arguments to the decorating function, and all arguments must be named so as not to conflict with the names of any of the decorated function's arguments.
The function template must return a static string that will be compiled into a new function by DecoratorTools. The returned string must either fit on one line, or begin with a newline and have its contents indented by at least two spaces. The string $args may be used one or more times in the returned string, whenever calling the original function. The first argument of the decorating function must always be the original function.
As you can see, both decorators' tracebacks include lines from the pseudo-files "<peak.util.decorators.rewrap wrapping raiser at 0x...>" and "<before_and_after2 wrapping raiser at 0x...>" (the hex id's of the corresponding objects are omitted here). This is because DecoratorTools adds information to the Python linecache module, and tracebacks and pdb both use the linecache module to get source lines. Any tools that use linecache, either directly or indirectly, will therefore be able to display this information for generated code.
>>> demo_source = "line 1\nline 2\nline 3"
The function requires a dummy filename, which must be globally unique. An easy way to ensure uniqueness is to include the id() of an object that will exist at least as long as the source code being cached.
As you can see, this info() decorator can be used without an @ sign for backward compatibility with Python 2.3. It can also be used with an @ sign, for forward compatibility with Python 2.4 and up.
Call callback(frame, name, value, old_locals) on next assign in frame .
If a frame isn't supplied, a frame is obtained using sys._getframe(depth). depth defaults to 2 so that the correct frame is found when decorate_assignment() is called from a decorator factory that was called in the target usage context.
When callback is invoked, old_locals contains the frame's local variables as they were before the assignment, thus allowing the callback to access the previous value of the assigned variable, if any.
The callback's return value will become the new value of the variable. name will contain the name of the variable being created or modified, and value will be the thing being decorated. frame is the Python frame in which the assignment occurred.
This function also returns a decorator function for forward-compatibility with Python 2.4 @ syntax. Note, however, that if the returned decorator is used with Python 2.4 @ syntax, the callback name argument may be None or incorrect, if the value is not the original function (e.g. when multiple decorators are used).
Sometimes, you want to create a base class in a library or program that will use the data defined in subclasses in some way, or that needs to customize the way instances are created (without overriding __new__).
Since Python 2.2, the standard way to accomplish these things is by creating a custom metaclass and overriding __new__, __init__, or __call__.
Unfortunately, however, metaclasses don't play well with others. If two frameworks define independent metaclasses, and a library or application mixes classes from those frameworks, the user will have to create a third metaclass to sort out the differences. For this reason, it's best to minimize the number of distinct metaclasses in use.
peak.util.decorators therefore provides a kind of "one-size-fits-all" metaclass, so that most of the common use cases for metaclasses can be handled with just one metaclass. In PEAK and elsewhere, metaclasses are most commonly used to perform some sort of operations during class creation (metaclass __new__ and __init__), or instance creation (metaclass __call__, wrapping the class-level __new__ and __init__).
Therefore, the classy base class allows subclasses to implement one or more of the three classmethods __class_new__, __class_init__, and __class_call__. The "one-size-fits-all" metaclass delegates these operations to the class, so that you don't need a custom metaclass for every class with these behaviors.
Thus, as long as all your custom metaclasses derive from classy.__class__, you can avoid any metaclass conflicts during multiple inheritance.
...     """Look, ma!  No metaclass!"""
...         print "before creating instance"
...         print "after creating instance"
Note that because __class_new__ and __class_init__ are called before the name Demo has been bound to the class under creation, super() cannot be used in these methods. So, they use a special calling convention, where the last argument (supr) is the next() method of an iterator that yields base class methods in mro order. In other words, calling supr()(..., supr) invokes the previous definition of the method. You MUST call this exactly once in your methods -- no more, no less.
__class_call__ is different, because it is called after the class already exists. Thus, it can be a normal classmethod and use super() in the standard way.
Finally, note that any given classy subclass does NOT need to define all three methods; you can mix and match methods as needed. Just be sure to always use the supr argument (or super() in the case of __class_call__).
The module returned is the Python module object whose globals are in effect for the frame, or None if the globals don't include a value for __name__.
Return truth if the given metaclass is a class decorator metaclass inserted into a class by decorate_class(), or by another class decorator implementation that follows the same protocol (such as the one in zope.interface).
Given a sequence of 1 or more base classes and an optional explicit __metaclass__, return the metaclass that should be used. This routine basically emulates what Python does to determine the metaclass when creating a class, except that it does not take a module-level __metaclass__ into account, only the arguments as given. If there are no base classes, you should just directly use the module-level __metaclass__ or types.ClassType if there is none.
Given a frame and/or stack level, skip upward past any DecoratorTools code frames. This function is used by decorate_class() and decorate_assignment() to ensure that any decorators calling them that were themselves invoked using decorate(), won't end up looking at DecoratorTools code instead of the target. If you have a function that needs to be callable via decorate() and which inspects stack frames, you may need to use this function to access the right frame.

Q: Constructor parameters with same name as atributes In Java, I can do this:
class Point{
  int x, y;
  public Point (int x, int y){
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }
}

How can I do the same thing in Scala (use the same names in constructor arguments and in class attributes):
class Point(x: Int, y: Int){
  //Wrong code
  def x = x;
  def y = y;
}

Edit
I'm asking this because the code below doesn't work
class Point(x: Int, y: Int) {
    def +(that: Point): Point = new Point(this.x + that.x, this.y + that.y)
}

But the following one works:
class Point(px: Int, py: Int) {
  def x = px
  def y = py
  def +(that: Point): Point = new Point(this.x + that.x, this.y + that.y)
}

A: In Scala the parameters of the constructor become public attributes of the class if declared as a var or val.
scala> class Point(val x: Int, val y: Int){}
defined class Point

scala> val point = new Point(1,1)
point: Point = Point@1bd53074

scala> point.x
res0: Int = 1

scala> point.y
res1: Int = 1

Edit to answer the question in comments "if they were private fields, shouldn't my first code snipped after the edit have worked?"
The constructor class Point(x: Int, y: Int) generates object-private fields which only allow methods of the Point class to access the fields x and y not other objects of type Point. that in the + method is another object and is not allowed access with this definition. To see this in action define add a method def xy:Int = x + y which does not generate a compile error.
To have x and y accessible to the class use a class-private field which is as follows:
class Point(private val x: Int, private val y: Int) {
    def +(that: Point): Point = new Point(this.x + that.x, this.y + that.y)
}

Now they are not accessible outside of the class:
scala> val point = new Point(1,1)
point: Point = Point@43ba9cea

scala> point.x
<console>:10: error: value x in class Point cannot be accessed in Point
              point.x
                    ^
scala> point.y
<console>:10: error: value y in class Point cannot be accessed in Point
              point.y

You can see this in action by using scalac -Xprint:parser Point.scala.

A: You don't need to; the "arguments" in the class declarations are all you need in Scala.

Section 1: Who Can Attend?
Primarily PT's but open to any professional who is allowed to Dry Needle by their state board. Medical Minds in Motion is not a board authority; therefore, it is up to the individual attendee to verify if they are allowed to use Dry Needling in their state. Medical Minds will provide resources to help attendees find the appropriate information, but strongly suggests individuals call their state board to clarify rules and requirements.
MMIM Will verify licensure of all registered participants. Practice license information must be provided at registration.
Medical Minds in Motion will offer two levels of Dry Needling Education equaling 50 hours of live education. Some pre-course reading/online education will be required, but the 50 hours of live education will satisfy most state board education requirements. It is the responsibility of the individual clinician to understand their regulatory board rules and guidelines.
Pass the written test and lab assessment of Level 1.
Documentation and submission to MMIM of treatment log showing 200 treatment sessions prior to Level 2.
Successful completion of all 25 live hours and pre-course material for level 2.
All attendees will receive an invitation to a private group on FB for discussion and collaboration between instructors and other participants.
Portable electric stim unit with alligator clips though we will have a limited amount at the course.
All participants will be required to consent to and sign a waiver of liability form in order to participate.
It is important that the course participants gain a full understanding of DN from both the clinician and patient point of view. With this in mind, participants will be both practicing the techniques and experiencing them during the live portion. If there is a reason you cannot have needling performed on you, please contact MMIM prior to the course.
Women who are pregnant will not be allowed to have needling performed on them due to contraindications. You will still be allowed to take the course, just not experience the needling techniques.
Any individuals with recent surgical procedures or any other medical issues that precludes them from being needled please notify us prior to the class.
Any other circumstances where dry needling is contraindicated.
Attendees will be provided a sample "Consent to Treat" form at the end of the course that they can use in their clinical practice.

Case time line
This ordering of cases is merely ordinal, keeping with the undefined time frame of the Suzuki Court. New cases, or events relevant to old cases, may be inserted as well as appended as the Archive base increases.
Kuntanga Resplendent Anderson and three others arrested after a gun battle leaves three dead, including a passer by who, at evidence presented at trial, was flagged down by Kuntanga in plea for help. Kuntanga and co-defendants charged with first degree murder under Texas' Armed Robbery Enhancement Act which, under a finding of aggravating circumstance, allows a jury Apprendi determination of death beyond "trigger fingers" upon murder consequent of robbery. At trial, Kuntanga insisted he had been assured no one would be present during a (presumed) burglary to procure drugs stashed by another group. Evidence at trial revealed Kuntanga carried a weapon but did not fire it; and that, during confrontation with residents, he fled to the street, flagging a car down. A passenger exited, immediately shot dead from afar. His co-defendants remained silent at trial; no evidence corroborating his claim was introduced. All four defendants found guilty under aggravating circumstance, sentenced to death. The laborious appeal of death verdict begins.
Preston Nonacs is awarded a Foundation Grant by the National Science Foundation, allowing him to choose any agreeing university for placement as a tenure track Assistant Professor, partly at Federal expense
Under pressure from the Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation withdraws Nonacs' grant. Nonacs begins the case trajectory cumulating in Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense
Benjamin Suzuki confirmed as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense heard
Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense decided; Scalia proposes a Constitutional Amendment to overturn the case in his concurrence in judgement
Congress approves the "Scalia Amendment," sending it to the States for ratification
Appeals exhausted, Kuntanga Resplendent Anderson and co-defendants are scheduled for execution. One co-defendant, scheduled first, comments to a guard on execution day that "Resplendent broke the binding by asking for help." Some gangs force an entering member into an illegal situation as test and initiation, sometimes called "the binding." The co-defendant is executed day of his comment. 22 days before his own execution, Kuntanga asks Federal District Court for a stay and new trial based on the prison guard's report. Federal court denies his petition, saying that, under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, there is no reason to believe that the Texas court made an "unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the state court proceeding"; nor does "evidence purported by petition suggest reasonable possibility of an alternative jury finding." The Federal Fifth Circuit affirms. 9 days before re-scheduled execution, Kuntanga petitions Associate Justice Anthony Pau Cabrales, overseeing the 5th Circuit, for an emergency stay. Stay granted.
Doe v Roe heard and decided in the Superior Court of Alaska
The Suzuki Court, 5-4, accepts certiorari for Kuntanga Resplendent Anderson v Texas:
for: Cabrales, Mitland, Souter, Suzuki, Young
against: Breyer, Scalia, Thomas, Whitehead
Associate Justice Rachel Colleen Whitehead, overseeing the 9th Circuit, stays Doe v Roe, asking the full Court for an expedited hearing. Associate Justice Anthony Pau Cabrales agrees to provide the necessary fifth vote only if the case, as heard, is directed away from defendant Roe, targeting Judge Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska instead. Doe agrees, filing Doe v Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska with the Suzuki Court as a writ of mandamus and writ of certiorari. Expedited hearing approved:
for: Cabrales, Scalia, Suzuki, Thomas, Whitehead
against: Breyer, Mitland, Souter, Young
Indiana becomes the 38th State approving the Scalia Amendment; the ratified Amendment, nullifying Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense becomes part of the Constitution just over 13 months after that decision was announced
The Department of Justice, acting for the Department of Defense, files Suit against the National Science Foundation to remove Nonacs' Foundation Grant
Doe v Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska heard before the Suzuki Court
Federal District Court denies the suit against Nonacs, holding that Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense controls upto ratification of the Scalia Amendment; decision affirmed upon appeal; Justice declines to request review by the Suzuki Court. Princeton accepts Nonacs' Foundation Grant, creating a tenure track line for him, where he is ultimately tenured
Without comment, the Suzuki Court removes Whitehead's stay of Doe v Roe, decision of Doe v Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska still pending; the private, internal vote is 6-3
For removal of stay: Breyer, Cabrales, Mitland, Souter, Suzuki, Young
against: Scalia, Thomas, Whitehead
Doe v Roe presently controlling, Roe aborts at 9 weeks; Doe files civil suit in the Superior Court of Alaska for wrongful death, breach of contract, and punitive damages; Superior Court quashes wrongful death as incompatible with Roe v Wade (1973) and its progeny; breach of contract and punitive damages proceed to jury trial
Doe v Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska decided
In Superior Court, a jury awards Doe damages of $34,349– constituting the contractual $25,000 Doe provided to Roe, 9 weeks of income similarly provided, and Roe's pre-abortion medical bills while pregnant; the jury refuses punitive damages
Doe's appeals within the Alaskan judicial system of wrongful death exclusion fail through Doe v Dawkins of the Superior Court of Alaska; Doe decides not to appeal within Federal courts
Kuntanga Resplendent Anderson v Texas heard before the Suzuki Court
Summary of Cases
note: cases are decided by majority vote, possible concurrences in judgement, deviating from the majority vote, and dissents. 5-4 is a marginal majority decision. 5(1)-3 indicates a 5 Justice majority plus one concurrence in judgement, 3 dissenting. A dissenting Justice may or may not write a dissenting opinion. 4(1)-4 indicates a case with no single rationale majority: four Justices agreed on a rationale, with one other agreeing in judgement, but for other reasons. While such cases decide issues, their precedence power is low. If a Justice joins the majority opinion, this means she finds the reasoning therein adequate; nonetheless, she may also write a separate concurrence (not a concurrence in judgement, as she has agreed with the majority), identifying overlooked implications or whatnot. In the vote count, her concurrence is not counted as a separate entity.
1. Nonacs v Selten, Secretary of Defense
5(1)-3: Suzuki for the Court, joined by Cabrales, Mitland, Souter, Young
Scalia concurring in judgement
Breyer, Thomas, Whitehead dissenting
Case: one Preston Nonacs, an evolutionary biologist, is awarded a rare and prestigious Foundation Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) essentially creating a tenure track line for him in his specialty at any university which agrees. Nonacs did not, however, register for selective service at age 18 or thereafter; Federal law denies federal employment for life to any US male failing to register. When brought to the attention of the Department of Defense (DOD), DOD requests NSF to revoke the grant, as it essentially creates employment through federal funds. NSF resists, but a threatened law suit by DOD forces capitulation. Nonacs loses his grant, suing in Federal District Court for reinstatement; his suit is summarily dismissed, dismissal upheld on appeal. His petition to the United States (Suzuki) Supreme Court is accepted, decided on grounds other than those raised by Nonacs. In the Court's first originalist opinion, Arver v U.S., 245 US 366 (1918) is reversed. Because selective service registration is envisioned as an emergency draft, it is ruled as repugnant to the 13th Amendment's prohibition of involuntary servitude, death being the ultimate form of servitude.
Scalia, concurring in judgement
Textualism forces Scalia to acknowledge that the 13th Amendment's prohibition, being free standing, is dispositive. He holds that the majority's historical foray into the "full" meaning of involuntary servitude is unwarranted, tailoring his concurrence in judgement solely to the issue of conscription significantly risking loss of life or limb. He extends originalist analysis by introducing obscuring traditions which have prevented, in the past, correct implementation of a Constitutional provision; without a delineated obscuring tradition, one cannot overrule active traditions of the past. He finds historical patriotism the obscuring tradition preventing past link between conscription and involuntary servitude.
Disliking this necessary conclusion, he proposes a Constitutional Amendment to override both himself and the majority. His proposal, soon called the Scalia Amendment, is passed by Congress (2/3 of each House agreeing) to the States just four months after Nonacs is decided; 9 months later, 3/4 of the States ratify the Amendment into the Constitution. The Suzuki Court's first venture into originalism is nullified by Constitutional Amendment in 13 months.
Souter, concurring
Souter writes a concurrence which is wholly dicta, arguing that the scope of interpretive change introduced by the Court in Nonacs requires consideration beyond the case at hand. He employs Scalia's, concurring in judgement, concept of obscuring tradition to his own Opinion of the Court in Atwater v City of Lago Vista (2001), concluding that his majority opinion in that case is now incorrect. He then argues that Scalia himself has been the victim of an obscuring tradition in Apprendi v New Jersey (2000) and its progeny, most importantly in Harris v United States (2002). Souter concludes that Scalia has turned the Apprendi line of cases into an anti-originalist muzzling of jury power.

European Security Developments

The concept of European security witnessed variables mission that began since the Westphalia, which established a new concept in international relations was based on the sovereignty of States, and founded the balance of power, and played the European countries a key role in international security, when Europe was controlled by the balance of world powers until the outbreak of World War II, but global balance of power after the war moved from the European continent to the outside, and even became a European security, however, the two Soviet and American cold War period, and then took another twist on the European Security after the Cold War, representing the transition from the world when he was European security means security of international to the continental European security is no longer refers to international security, the concept of the sovereignty of States, founded by the Conference of Westphalia "thing" of the past.
There is a paradox in European thought on this issue, after the First World War began to Europe is looking to get rid of its recent past based on the glorification of force and arms, but after the American hegemony, seems more nostalgic to look for defensive capabilities confirming their presence in the vision of twenty-first century.

"What was done last night in the White House was a political rally," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
"It further undermined the image and integrity of the court," she added. "And that troubles me greatly, it saddens me, because our judicial system has been viewed as one of the main pillars of our constitutional government."
Clinton made the comments after Kavanaugh and President Trump Donald John TrumpButtigieg on Mueller report: 'Politically, I'm not sure it will change much' Sarah Sanders addresses false statements detailed in Mueller report: 'A slip of the tongue' Trump to visit Japan in May to meet with Abe, new emperor MORE took a victory lap at the ceremonial White House event on Monday night.
Trump during the prime-time event in the White House's East Room apologized to Kavanaugh "for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure."
"You, sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent," the president said to his Supreme Court pick.
Multiple allegations of sexual assault roiled Kavanaugh's bruising confirmation process. Lawmakers said an FBI investigation found no corroboration of the allegations, which Kavanaugh forcefully denied.
Trump also decried the "campaign of personal destruction" he said the Democrats ran against his Supreme Court nominee in order to keep him off the bench.
"Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception," he said. "What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency and due process. In our country, a man or woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
Clinton also hit Trump over his treatment of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh assaulted her at a high school party in 1982. Trump at a campaign rally mocked Ford for the gaps in her memory of the incident.
"The president's been true to form," Clinton said. "He has insulted, attacked, demeaned women throughout the campaign, really for many years leading up to the campaign, and he's continued to do that inside the White House."

Q: Redirect a user from my website to mobile app I have this middleware function running on vercel that I'm attempting to redirect users with. The link is generated on Expo and it contains a deeplink to my app. This link gets emailed to the user for auth purposes.
The link looks like this
https://www.mywebsite.com/redirect?redirectUrl=exp://192.168.1.0:9000&mode=signIn&lang=en&apiKey=xxxx&oobCode=xxxx

So I manage to get the expo link I want to direct too but it never goes to my app because

https://www.mywebsite.com

always gets added to the link so I end up with

https://www.mywebsite.com/exp://192.168.1.0:9000&mode=signIn&lang=en&apiKey=xxxx&oobCode=xxxx

How can I modify my function to direct to the Expo link?

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";

export default async function redirects(req, res) {
  const { url } = req;
  const { href, origin, searchParams } = req.nextUrl;

  if (href.includes("redirectUrl")) {
    let extractedUrl = url.split("?")[1];
    let redirectUrl = extractedUrl.replace("redirectUrl=", "");

    return NextResponse.redirect(redirectUrl);
  }

  return NextResponse.next();
}

A: Went a different route with this. Did the redirect without the middleware and regular getInitialProps if anyone was interested.
This is what I came up with. Feel free to suggest how I can improve this.
Redirects.getInitialProps = (ctx) => {
  if (!ctx.res) return;
  const { redirectUrl, mode, lang, apiKey, oobCode } = ctx.query;
  const Location = `${redirectUrl}${mode}${lang}${apiKey}${oobCode}`;

  if (redirectUrl) {
    ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location });
    ctx.res.end(`Redirecting to ${Location}`);
  } else {
    ctx.res.writeHead(400);
    ctx.res.end("You must provide a `redirectUrl` in the query");
  }

Trinity Hill Winemaker Dinner
Winemaker Dinner with John Hancock of Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels, New Zealand
Friday 22nd of September
7pm start
£99pp for 8 courses and 9 wines
From the Vineyard:
An Iconic New Zealand Winery
"Trinity Hill is referred to as an iconic New Zealand winery because we consistently produce superb examples of traditional and innovative wine varieties. We pride ourselves on crafting wines that are especially food friendly. Our small size allows us to concentrate on making exceptional wines - be they from our premium Gimblett Gravels and Single Vineyard selections or our excellent value Hawkes Bay range."
We are truly in for a treat! The legend that is John Hancock is hosting the evening. He is one of the most charismatic personalities in the New Zealand Wine Industry with more than 35 years of experience in New Zealand, Australia and France.
As founding winemaker for one of New Zealand's early wine successes, Morton Estate, John produced a number of award-winning wines, including the best Chardonnay in the World at the 1997 Wine Magazine's International Wine Challenge.
His subsequent experience working with top wine houses in the Rhone and Burgundy, has been a touchstone of wine styles to come from Trinity Hill; respect for the old, tempered with belief in the new. His vintages at Tain L'Hermitage in the Rhone with the late Gerard Jaboulet were the genesis of the now iconic Trinity Hill Homage Syrah.
An 8 course tasting menu with 9 matched wines awaits those who attend! The idea behid this dinner is to not only showcase the wines of Trinity Hill but to also highlight the different regions of Hawkes Bay and the fabulous terroir of Gimblett Gravels.
Wines for the dinner include :
2016 Sauvignon Blanc, Trinity Hill, Hawkes Bay
2015 Marsanne/Viognier, Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
2015 Chardonnay, Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
2016 Pinot Noir, Trinity Hill, Hawkes Bay
2014 'The Trinity', Trinity Hill, Hawkes Bay
2015 Tempranillo, Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
2013 'The Gimblett', Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
2014 Syrah, Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
2010 Homage, Trinity Hill, Gimblett Gravels
FOR THOSE INFORMATION FANATICS AMONGST YOU:
Since its inception in 1993, partners John Hancock, who has been making wine in New Zealand for over 35 years, and Robert and Robyn Wilson, owners of The Bleeding Heart and The Don in London, have made Trinity Hill a byword for quality and consistency.
The Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc is selected from four sites in Hawkes Bay. It is quite distinct from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas and flavours of stone fruit and lime. The reds are, if anything, even more impressive. The Hawkes Bay 'The Trinity' is a Merlot dominant blend that is supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a small percentage of Tempranillo from various vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels. Rich with soft ripe tannins and flavours of plum, cassis and spice, it is an impressive wine.
GIMBLETT GRAVELS
Trinity Hill was one of the first to plant grapes on the Gimblett Gravels in Hawkes Bay in 1993. The Gimblett Gravels, planted on the former bed of the Ngaruroro River, is now a highly sought after sub-region renowned for the quality of its wines, particularly those made from Syrah.
The Gimblett Gravels Syrah is made from fruit sourced from various vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels, where the soils consist of deep greywacke gravels. In 2014, a small percentage of Viognier was included in the blend. The relatively delicate wine surprises with its multi layered Syrah intensity, with cracked pepper and wild berry fruits balanced by good acidity. The 'The Gimblett' is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot off low cropping vineyards from Gimblett Estate, Gimblett Stones and Tin Shed. The wine has serious structure with richness and power and lovely blackberry aromatics.
The Marsanne-Viognier blend is a first from New Zealand. It has a lovely nuttiness and a silky texture. The Chardonnay is fermented with wild yeasts which help add complexity and texture, and barrel-aged for 11 months. Its beautiful, linear acidity makes it a great match with food.
Their most outstanding wine is Homage, which is produced only in the very best years and in very limited quantities. First produced in 2002, it pays tribute to the late Gérard Jaboulet (a long-time friend of Robert, Robyn and John, who worked alongside Gérard in Tain L'Hermitage for the 1996 vintage) and is inspired by the wines of Côte Rôtie. Flavours of blackberry, liquorice, black pepper and spice combine to give a wine that is elegant and powerful with great concentration.

Q: While updating date compare date with another field to update field I have a button and when a user clicks it, the button sets the due_date in the database. Then I have another button that when it's clicked it sets the date_finished in the database.
I have one more field that needs to be completed and then the finished button is clicked. I am trying to figure out how to compare the date_finished to the date_due such that if the date is after the date_due(the next day) I want to update my Late field with a 'Y' or if the date_finished was on time or equal to the same day update my Late field with an 'N'.
I can not figure out how to compare the dates though in the same query.

How Long Does Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Last?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the breasts. This enhancement is frequently performed using breast implants, but they typically require maintenance surgeries every ten to fifteen years. However, there is now a second option for breast augmentation, which involves transferring fat from a donor area of the body to the breasts in order to add volume and fullness. This method, known as fat transfer breast augmentation or breast augmentation with fat grafts, is an autogenous procedure that uses your body's own living fat tissues and as a result, can have permanent effects.
The injection of fat cells into the breasts are lasting and permanent because the transplanted cells develop their own blood vessels in order to supply themselves with blood and nutrients, acting like the natural fat that develops in the breasts. The body assumes that this organic and autologous tissue was produced within the breast and thus nourishes it, rather than trying to eliminate it.
However, it is important to recognize that not all of the transferred fat cells and tissue will survive. Typically, approximately 70% of the transferred fat survives, while the remaining about 30% dies. This phenomenon occurs only a few weeks after the breast augmentation procedure when the newly injected fat cells have not yet settled or begun to form their own blood supply required for survival. After the formation of healthy blood vessels, the transplanted fat cells will not undergo death spontaneously, so the results of the breast augmentation become permanent. A small amount of fat tissue may be re-absorbed by the body over the course of six-months after the initial procedure, but this change is typically undetectable.
To reduce the risk of escalated death of fat cells after the breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon will take a number of preventative measures. An experience plastic surgeon will know how to gently and properly inject the cells into the breast tissue to lower the trauma experienced by the cells, thereby ensuring their survival. Depending on how the body has accepted the fat injections, it may be best for follow-up injections several months later to maintain optimal results.
Many women seeking a breast augmentation procedure opt for the use of fat grafts instead of breast implants because implants often necessitate a second surgery ten to fifteen years after the initial procedure. Additionally, there are long-term side effects associated with implants such as capsular complications, rotation, and/or displacement that are not seen in patients with fat transfer breast augmentations. Therefore, the use of fat grafts is a safe and effective way for natural-looking breast enhancement results.
If you are interested in breast augmentation and would like to learn more about the procedure using fat transfer, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Craft to discuss your candidacy for fat graft breast augmentation, as well as how it can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Is Ceraloft An Effective Nootropic? Learn More Here!
There are all kinds of ways in which you can lose your mental edge as you age: having a poor diet, smoking, drinking to excess, or just regular mental decline associated with the aging process. Sometimes even depression can influence how well you can focus, remember things, and how much energy you have throughout the day. Pharmaceutical companies have invented dozens of drugs over the years which might help with some aspects of cognitive insufficiency, but not all of them.
Most nootropics, on the other hand, are designed to reduce all of these problems - memory loss, alertness, and your ability to focus - in one single formula. And they contain natural and healthy ingredients, unlike some pharmaceutical chemicals. Plus, you don't need a doctor's prescription for nootropic formulas such as Ceraloft.
Ceraloft is yet another contender on the list of all-natural herbal supplements designed to improve your overall neurological function. Whether you can't seem to focus at work, whether you're having trouble staying awake during your day, or even if you need a little pick-me-up for your mood, Ceraloft claims it can help with any and all cognitive problems you want to fix.
Ceraloft actually has a decent roster when it comes to its list of active ingredients. There's Gingko Biloba for blood circulation, St. John's Wort for mood enhancement, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine, which is an important amino acid. Then there's the nootropic-specific ingredients: Phosphatidylserine, Glutamine, DMAE, and Vinpocetine. However, although those are proven in many studies to help with everything from wakeful focus to Alzheimer's, critical reviews of Ceraloft point out that the amount included in their formula might be insufficient to produce any tangible results.
Unlike most nootropics, there is no caffeine included in the Ceraloft formula. For individuals which are sensitive to caffeine, this can be a good thing. It can also benefit coffee lovers who don't want to have to choose between a cognition enhancer and their daily cup(s) of joe.
It's hard to find truly honest and informative reviews about Ceraloft. The product is only sold through the manufacturer's website, and of course they are going to say that their customers love the product. It is not sold on Amazon, where relatively honest reviews are prevalent. And many of the critical review websites which discuss Ceraloft, even though several of them contain factual information, are usually trying to sell competing products.
How Well Does Ceraloft Actually Work?
It's hard to say. There aren't many reliable reviews from actual Ceraloft customers to go by. So unless you heard about its efficacy from someone you know who has actually tried the product, there's no way to tell unless you test it out yourself. Also, even though it contains cognitive enhancing ingredients, many of them are too low (based on the daily recommended dosage) to provide strong, quick mental enhancement.
But Ceraloft is only one of many nootropics on the market today. To learn more about these brain-boosting supplements, click here for our top picks.


What could be more essential to an office than a printer? Even in today's electronic workplace, when something needs to get done, ink often meets paper. And if you're looking for the ultimate in solid-state ink printers to join your network, look no further than the Xerox 8870 ColorQube.
The ColorQube uses four solid block cubes of different colors as ink. As opposed to traditional printers, which use liquid ink or powdery toner, these solid-ink cartridges resemble yellow, blue, magenta and black blocks of crayon rather than ink.
Pros: Excellent printing quality for text; good color accuracy.
Cons: Difficult setup and install to desktop PC.
The printer works by melting the colors into a malleable liquid that the printer then infuses on paper. The result is superior color and texture quality delivered in a more eco-friendly manner. According to Xerox, solid-ink sticks create as much as 90 percent less waste and uses as much as 30 percent less energy over a life cycle. Xerox also estimates a carbon footprint that's as much as 30 percent smaller than comparable laser printers. After all our testing, there was only a little bit of a crayon-like hardened slurry sitting inside.
As a bonus, you can use the slurry like a crayon. It's the most fun you will have with waste, most likely, and there is very little of it given how many pages the ColorQube prints The printer uses almost the entire block of colored ink. There isn't a case to throw away other than the box used to ship it.
On the power front, those eco-friendly claims are strong words for a solid-state printer, which are historically notorious for being power hogs. However, advancements in print driver settings, with features such as an easy-to-use print driver gauge, really help. Using those settings, you can choose the most environmentally friendly print settings. And an Intelligent Ready technology learns your workgroup's use patterns and automatically adjusts to low-power mode when you're least likely to use printing, such as late at night. That lets Xerox limit the power hunger of this printer to the point that the ColorQube meets Energy Star requirements.
I owned a predecessor to the ColorQube for several years, the Tektronix Phaser 850, and I noticed the difference in power consumption almost immediately. It used to be said that those old Phaser printers, which were the ColorQubes before Xerox purchased Tektronix in 2000, were good for two things: printing pictures and heating a room. Those old printers sucked in so much energy to melt the solid-state ink that they often raised the temperature of rooms by a couple of degrees if used frequently. Other problems with the old Phasers were painfully slow wake-up processes and sluggish printing times — and they were so darn heavy.
We were happy to learn that since the Tektronix days, Xerox has not only fixed the heating and power problems but also significantly accelerated the printing times. I clocked the warm-up process at just a notch longer than 60 seconds, as opposed to the 3- to 5-minute waiting times of old.
On average, the ColorQube printed our 30-page all-text test file in 2 minutes, 3 seconds. That's a little on the slow side for straight black-and-white text printing, though some leeway has to be given based on the quality of the output.
The ColorQube does a great job at laying down the black solid-state ink on paper so that there is a refined glossy shimmer to the jet-black print. Under a magnifying glass, we could not find any imperfections in the edges or the curves of the letters, even though we printed more than 120 pages.
On the 30-page color test document, which is filled with punishing images that are difficult for many printers to get right, the ColorQube also shined brightly. It completed that intensive test in 2 minutes, 24 seconds, a time that competes well with most printers we see, although some of the high-end toner printers can accomplish this same task in just longer than a minute.
On the color pictures test, we paid particular attention to kerning, which refers to the space between each printed letter, to ensure that there are no irregular gaps between letters. That often occurs on portions of the test where the machine must print a complex, multicolored image and then interlay text on top of that image.
Typically, a printer will behave by pausing for a moment or two while analyzing the request from the file, which the Xerox did. But what we traditionally see on the printed document is a slight over- or under-exaggeration between the spaces where the letters meet the image. Ideally, you want the image to look as if you've typed right over the picture with a typewriter, and the ColorQube did this beautifully with no over- or under-exaggeration of space between letters and image.
One strong feature of this printer — above all others in our opinion — is how easy it is to install the solid-state ink. With the 8870, all you need to do is open the top of the printer, load each individual cube in the color-coded slots and close the lid. They won't fit into the wrong slot because of the unique shapes of the blocks.
Unfortunately, that easy install does not extend to the driver side of the equation. If you expect to attach this printer to a static desktop PC, be careful because this printer is by no means easy to set up via a USB cable. It took one failed tech support call and about three hours of separate work to get my standard Dell computer operating a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional to recognize this printer's drivers. Not to mention the fact that once I had the drivers finally installed, Windows still did not recognize the printer as anything except an unspecified machine. That meant the operating system recognized the Xerox machine, but the drivers and install procedures had not alerted Windows that it was a printer.
To fix the problem, I had to reinstall all the drivers using the latest driver pack found on Xerox's Web page. That glitch added a serious blemish to what could have been a perfect Ease of Use score.
But despite an abysmal setup, the Xerox 8870 performed well on all the tests. Performance features like a high-end 1 GHz processor that allows the ColorQube to handle big, complex print jobs make it a good choice for any agency that needs the scalability to handle larger initiatives over time. Much of that scalability is attributable to how easy the printer is to use on the network. For example, a feature named RAM Collation sends files across the network just once no matter how many sets are printed. RAM Collation frees network space usually reserved for redundant print jobs.
Another advanced feature that the ColorQube offers is Job Pipelining. This network-enhancing feature also optimizes system performance by allowing the ColorQube to process print jobs even if the print engine is busy with an earlier job. That removes a common bottleneck created by multiple print jobs hitting the queue at similar intervals.
The ColorQube offers a laundry list of security features, including a robust System Administrator Authentication capability that allows access to administrative Web pages to authorized employees. The Device Access Password Protection function further restricts access to device setup screens and remote network settings.
A firewall adds limited access via IP address filtering, port blocking and domain filtering. A feature named Image Overwrite Security electronically erases data that has been processed to the hard drive, which, according to Xerox, uses a three-pass algorithm specified by the Defense Department at regular, preselected times.
Despite the burdensome install, every other aspect of the Xerox ColorQube makes it worth the setup trouble. It produces high-quality printouts at reasonably fast speeds. But it no longer heats your room, so you might need to buy a space heater for cold days — not that you'll probably mind.
