Two Types of Carpets
Nonwoven Carpets
Nonwoven fabric is a fabric-like material made from staple fiber (short) and long fibers (continuous long), bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment.
The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted.
Some nonwoven materials lack sufficient strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. In recent years, nonwovens have become an alternative to polyurethane foam.
Tufting Carpets
Tufting is the process of creating textiles, especially carpet, on specialized
multi-needle sewing machines.
Several hundred needles stitch hundreds of rows of pile yarn tufts through a backing fabric called the primary backing.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania–March 7, 2007, Quantum Simulations, Inc., a developer of artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring, assessment and professional development software has received a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to develop new tutoring and assessment software for chemistry.
Quantum currently offers 14 software modules covering introductory chemistry and applied mathematics. The additional grant funding will allow Quantum to develop additional new tutoring and assessment modules and further expand its content offering for high school, AP and college-level students.
"Building a solid foundation in the core sciences is crucial for careers in the scientific, medical and technical fields and helps students develop the critical problem solving skills needed in all areas of learning," states Dr. Benny Johnson, Quantum´s President and CEO.
Scientifically proven to increase test scores by as much as 50 percent, the Quantum Tutors are accessed over the Internet and allow students to receive one-on-one tutoring when an instructor isn´t available to help or answer questions. Just like working with a human tutor, students can receive help on ANY problem, ask questions, view detailed explanations of each step in a problem and request hints.
With the Quantum Assessment Advisors, students have access to comprehensive self-assessments with drill-down detail and tutoring instruction on the specific skills and concepts needed to improve future test scores. For the teacher, the Advisors eliminate the administrative time, human error and fatigue associated with grading homework, tests and quizzes by hand while receiving in-depth analysis and reporting on class performance and actual student work.
"As the former Director of the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education, the cognitive learning approach of the Quantum Tutors is by far one of the most advanced and effective educational tools I´ve seen for self-directed tutoring, homework help and test preparation," comments Susan Patrick, President and CEO, North American Council for Online Learning (NACOL).
With the development of these new Tutors and Assessment Advisors, now students and instructors will have the tools they need to see immediate results in comprehension, problem solving skills and test scores. Quantum´s AI technology creates a collaborative learning environment for teachers and students where there is unlimited opportunity for both struggling and advanced students to learn and have a greater appreciation for science and mathematics.
Quantum Simulations, Inc. develops artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring, assessment and professional development software that empowers teachers and inspires students from middle school through college to improve their knowledge and appreciation for the sciences and mathematics. Teacher tested and approved by educators across the United States, Quantum´s AI software is proven in research studies to improve comprehension, problem solving skills and test scores by as much as 50%. Quantum´s intelligent tutoring engines are integrated with existing web-based learning products, providing a strong competitive edge for distributing partners. A "technology think tank," Quantum is funded and supported by the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

First published in Spanish in 2015, Affections is the second novel by the Bolivian writer Rodrigo Hasbún (his first to be translated into English). Hasbún is something of a rising star in Latin American literature circles. In 2007 he was named as one of the Bogotá 39, the 39 most important Latin American writers under the age of 39; moreover, in 2010 he was included in Granta's list of the twenty-two best young writers in Spanish. (Hasbún was born in 1981.) In light of this pedigree, I was keen to read Affections, especially given the timing as July is Spanish literature month.
The focus of Affections is an unusual one. Hasbún's novella is work of fiction inspired by real figures and historical events from the 1950s and '60s. The story revolves around the work and family life of Hans Ertl, the renowned cinematographer who is perhaps most famous for his collaborations with the German film-maker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl. (Triumph des Willens and Olympia, both filmed in the 19030s, were two of Riefenstahl's best-known works.) Affections, however, concerns itself with a later period in Ertl's life, the time directly following his move to Bolivia in the mid-1950s.
The novella opens in 1955, just over a year after Ertl, his wife (Aurelia), and their three daughters (Monika, Heidi and Trixi) travelled to Bolivia to settle in the city of La Paz. I say 'settle', however nothing about the family's new life feels very stable; right from the start they consider themselves outsiders, interlopers from a very different part of the world. Here's Heidi's perspective on their situation.
Keen to embark on a new mission in Bolivia, Hans Ertl sets off in search of Paitití, an old Inca city hidden deep in the midst of the Amazon rainforests. Accompanying him on the visit are his two eldest daughters, Monika and Heidi, plus a fellow adventurer, Rudi, and an entomologist by the name of Miss Burgl.
What starts out as the story of the early stages of the group's expedition soon morphs into something very different indeed. As the chapters slip by, it becomes increasingly clear that Affections is primarily concerned with the falling apart of Ertl's family as their lives start to unravel on the page.
In some ways, Affections feels like the literary equivalent of a collage, a series of snapshots and scrapbook entries conveyed by way of a sequence of loosely connected chapters. The role of narrator passes backwards and forwards from Heidi to Trixi to Monika; other sections are reflected through the eyes of some of the other main players in the girls' lives, most notably Monika's brother-in-law and brief lover, Reinhard.
While various things happen to the family over the course of some 20 years, Hasbún seems more concerned with feelings and experiences than conventional aspects of plot and character development. In some respects, Affections is a novel about the different phases of our lives, the various endings and new beginnings we all experience as we move from one stage in our transitory existence to the next.
I knew I couldn't leave without finding Monika first, without convincing her to forget all that, to start a new life with me where nobody knew us. Our parents had done it, and Heidi too, in her own way.
As a novel, it also has much to say about the various facets of our character, how different people tend to views us, and the challenges of reconciling these different identities into a complete whole. Never is this more relevant than when the focus falls on Monika, a woman who seems to represent so many disparate things to those around her.
There is a strong sense of dislocation and isolation running through this intriguing collection of snapshots, especially when we hear from Monika herself – the use of a second-person narrative gives her vignettes a very distinctive feel.
Ultimately, Affections is a mercurial, shapeshifting work, a disorientating novella that raises as many questions as it answers. As a piece of art, it leaves much to the reader's curiosity and imagination, and that's no bad thing in my book.
Grant and Stu have also reviewed this one for SLM.
Affections is published by Pushkin Press; my thanks to the publishers for kindly providing a review copy.

Will there be a big tech breakup? Apple likely to announce 5G phone
big tech breakup
Watch as Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of WIRED, explains what's going on in technology news:
How likely will big tech companies Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google be forced to breakup as recommended by Democrats on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust?
I think it's pretty unlikely. I think there will be hearings. I think there will be damages. I think that there will be scrutiny on future mergers. I don't think there will be breakups.

"Hi, Speed." What can we expect from this week's annual Apple release?

Apple has a new phone most likely coming out next week. The motto is "Hi, Speed." I think it's going to be mostly about 5G. These phones will be 5G compatible. It doesn't mean the 5G infrastructure has been built up in this country or most other countries. But still, when it is, the phones will be fast. Also, I think the LiDAR sensors that were built on the last iPad, which was kind of a small announcement that people didn't really notice, will be on the new iPhone and that will be great for augmented reality.

Social media sites overwhelmed by misinformation about Trump's condition
Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of WIRED, shares his perspective on technology news in Tech In 60 Seconds:
With Trump testing positive for corona, how are social media sites combating the mountains of misinformation?
Well, the same way they always do, demoting some content, labeling some false content, but mostly getting overwhelmed. And the reason they'll get particularly overwhelmed now is that there could be no topic more ripe for misinformation than this one. The White House will be opaque. People will spread every rumor imaginable. And just the nature of the Internet combining coronavirus and Trump, you can get a misinformation orgy.

New York City released a contact tracing app. How does it work and will other cities adopt it?

Well, it's a new app you download it onto your phone. What it does is it will alert you if you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for corona. Or if you test positive, you enter into the app and it will alert people whose phones have been near yours receiving Bluetooth signals anonymously. That's a very good thing. I've installed it. I hope everybody does, keep everybody safe. See you next week.

Russian hackers found targeting US election; robots that write?
Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of WIRED, helps us make sense of today's stories in technology:
What are the Russians doing to the US election?
Well, they are trying to hack it. They're trying to hack into the accounts of individuals working on campaigns. They're trying to hack into accounts of nonprofit organizations. They're trying to mess it all up again. They're probably trying to help their favorite candidate, too. How did we find out about it? Well, Microsoft, thank you Microsoft, is running an election security operation and they noticed this. Now, have they found everything that the Russian group Fancy Bear is doing? I highly doubt it. We'll probably learn a lot more after the election, unfortunately.

What's this? Robots can write! Should we be afraid?

So OpenAI has used artificial intelligence to build a text generating system called GPT-3. It's way of computers writing sentences that look almost like human sentences. The Guardian ran a story written entirely by GPT-3 about whether robots will take over the world. Am I afraid this indicates robots will take over the world? I'm not. The article is terrible, confusing, incomprehensible. Not really a big concern. I am concerned, though, that systems like this could be used for the purposes of misinformation and for creating chaos on the Internet. But that's a separate matter.

Barr pressures DOJ to bring antitrust suit against Google
Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of WIRED, discusses technology industry news today:
What's the deal with Google and antitrust?
Well, we've long known that the Department of Justice is likely bringing an antitrust suit against Google. What we've just learned this week is that William Barr, the attorney general, is pressuring them to bring it really quickly, and the career lawyers don't like that idea. Why is he doing that? Maybe because he thinks they're going slowly, maybe because he wants a political victory for Trump before the election.

Should we be worried about the decline in stock for Apple, Amazon and Tesla?

No, we should not. Those stocks, well, tech stocks swing wildly. All three companies are totally fine. Their stocks were quite inflated.

What is the controversy over Disney Plus's new movie, Mulan?

Amazing thing is that about five minutes ago, I got an e-mail saying my kids had purchased it and are watching it. The controversy is, what I saw, which is, "I've already paid for Disney Plus and I have to pay $30 more?" If they like it, it's worth it, but it's still a lot.

Elon Musk's Neuralink startup aims to process thoughts; TikTok & Walmart
What is going on with Elon Musk's startup, Neuralink?
He demonstrated on a Friday night, this small little sensor you put into your skull, or as he showed on TV, into the skull of a pig, it can read and write electrical signals into the brain. What will it likely be able to do? It may, for example, be able to process simple thoughts, allow people who have lost ability to move their arm, to move their arms again. The long-term promise, which Musk talked about, would allow you to download and rewind your memories, highly unlikely and highly speculative.

Why does Walmart want to buy TikTok?

Well, TikTok will generate tons of revenue. It's a booming platform and there are lots of possible ways it could integrate with Walmart. E-commerce, advertising, branding. I don't know if that's a great idea for TikTok but it does make sense for Walmart.

Marc Anthony reveals how he makes the most of his time with his kids
By Ricardo Vidal
April 23, 2019 4:04 AM EDTUpdated on March 02, 2020 7:53 AM EST
Marc Anthony is, without a doubt, an unstoppable Latino music star. His songs are played all over the world and wherever he goes, he is always recognized for the exceptional artist he is. However, the great commitment he's made to his career and to his fan base have, on occasion, hindered him from spending quality time with his family, specifically his five children: Ariana, his oldest daughter; Cristian and Ryan, whom he had with Dayanara Torres, and his twins Emme and Max, from his relationship with Jennifer Lopez.

Fortunately for him, his kids understand perfectly that their dad's career demands a lot of time away from them, so they have become accustomed to maximizing the time they do have together and enjoying each other's company. In a recent interview, the Vivir Mi Vida singer revealed how his children get along and how they have reacted to him being so far away from them.

"Thank god my kids know that their dad can't take a train to work a nine to five day, that my work takes me away from home for a lot of time," he said in statements quoted by People en Español. "But we always make the effort to spend time together during my breaks as much as possible," he added.
The Latin pop star does often post beautiful family moments on his social media channels and judging by the happy photos Marc has a strong bond with his children.

He's undisputedly at the top of his game, but the singer admits that fame and success has come with a price. "The only thing that I regret is that what I chose to do absorbs a lot of my time," he said in 2016 during an interview with CBS. "What I would have given to be a father to spend more time at home and witness every second of my children's lives. I would have loved to do that. But it couldn't have been that way," confessed Marc.
The successful singer also revealed that, sometimes, wonders if being absent from home was the right thing. "It's one of those things that comes to mind. It was a huge sacrifice. And suddenly, I'm starting to question if everything was worth it," he said.

MASERATI LEVANTE: EXCLUSIVITY, REFINEMENT AND ELEGANCE
The Maserati Levante SUV has undergone extreme engineering to offer customers mastery of different situations. In its own way, it is tasty, quick and extra comfortable. The Levante SUV is a classic, giving customers exhilarating performance with precise handling.
It is equipped with an 8-speed gearbox, Maserati's intelligent Q4 AWD and a torque vectoring system for an inspiring driving experience. To match its luxurious style, Maserati equipped the SUV with 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged engine mated to an 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission. Drivers enjoy a full colour 8.1 inch TFT Touchscreen display which makes it unique in character, not just like any other SUV.
Upsides:
Unique interior
No shortage of space
An unmistakable design
Downsides:
Signs of understeer as tyres start losing their sticking ability.
DESIGN: 4.0/5.0
Source: www.motortrend.com cars maserati levante 2017 2017-maserati-levante-sq4-first-test-review
Style plays an important role in this SUV's appeal with its exterior equipped with dramatic features with the appeal to satisfy onlookers. Its design is sleek and sporty characterized by three outstanding air vents. It includes a gaping grille referenced from sporting Maseratis of the past, which is big, menacing and fully detailed and features the trident badge as a symbol of elegance. It is easy to fall in love with the headlights too with fog lights incorporated between the two. The hood is big and long, has handsome wheels and pillar-less door frames.
As much as the exterior is exceptional, the interior is also jaw dropping. The car is fitted with red interior mixed with black leather with a wooden trim. Everything inside is of high quality with an analogue clock mounted on the dash and metallic paddle shifters complementing its prestige. The Levante can comfortably fit four adults.
ENGINE, DRIVETRAIN, PERFORMANCE 3.9/5.0
Source: 2018carreview.com 2017-maserati-levante-release-date-and-price
The Levante comes with a four-wheel drive but the system is rear-biased. Only the rear wheels are powered most of the time but when traction is needed, 50% of the power is diverted to the front wheels. It packs an engine unique to Maserati and built by Ferrari.
The Maserati Levante boasts an intercooled 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 coupled with an aluminum block that produces 316kW of power and 560Nm of torque. The Q4 all wheel system is equipped with active air suspension. The 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox gives the SUV precise handling and a generous amount of power with up to 60mph in 5 seconds and a top speed of 164 miles per hour. This enables the car to unleash a high amount of power and has a low center of gravity which leads to weight distribution for precise handling and satisfactory driving experience.
TRIM LEVELS 4.3/5.0
Source: www.edmunds.com maserati levante 2017
This beast is offered in two trim levels, the Maserati Levante and the Levante S. Maserati Levante is the base Levante and both are powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo v6 engine. The base Levante produces 350 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque while the Maserati Levante S produces 430 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque. The drive modes available are normal, sport, off-road and ICE. The sports button activates the gearbox's sports mode and opens the exhaust flaps and sharpens the throttle giving it extreme excitement and fantastic sound courtesy of Maserati's engineers.
The normal mode comes in handy in freeway driving while the off-road mode gives the car maximum riding height to withstand rough grounds. Each mode has its own setting but the common changes in all; are an alteration of suspension setting, change of gear shift points and distribution of torque to the front and rear wheels.
SAFETY 4.5/5.0
Source: www.millermotorcars.com 2017-maserati-levante–c-613 htm
Safety was a priority to Maserati during the manufacture of the Levante SUV. In the case of theft or any unwanted intrusion, the SUV is equipped with an ignition disabling device that prevents engine start if the manufacturer key is not used. The safety of the driver and passengers is crucial; that's why front airbags are fitted, as well as side-impact airbags and overhead airbags.
The seatbelts have pre-tensioners to tighten the passengers and the driver in the optimal sitting position in case of a collision. The Levante is also fitted with anti-lock brakes that modulate brake pressure in case the tires stopped rotating. In sports mode, this allows the vehicle to turn while braking. If the SUV's handling limits are exceeded, stability control senses this and automatically lowers the power or applies brakes to prevent accidents.
CONCLUSION 3.9/5.0
The Levante proves that SUVs are here to stay. It faces stiff competition from established luxury SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. This competition is based on design and pricing. The Levante is priced at $150,000 with this shooting up to $300,000 locally in Singapore due to high taxes, which is more than the Cayenne, which is valued at $106,100, but the former offers more comfort and is more luxurious than the latter.

#2 Italian Restaurant
Food upscale crowd district 5 $$
Map icon Budapest, Arany János u. 9, 1051
Pomo D'Oro, which opened in 2002, is a wildly popular and beloved Italian restaurant in Budapest's downtown, marrying a red-sauce, old school Italian trattoria and a modern restaurant with gastronomic ambitions. This means it appeals equally well to middle-class Hungarian families looking for pan-Italian comfort food, foodies with more adventurous palates, business customers, and tourists. As a result, the ever-expanding space, which has retained a homey atmosphere, is packed to capacity with a mixed crowd every day of the week. While not cheap by Budapest standards—mains range from €10 to €20—price points aren't outrageous for its calibre.
Here, it's hard to go wrong with anything, but I enjoy most the rich, Tuscan tomato soup (pappa al pomodoro; €6), the strozzapreti hand-rolled pasta (€9), and the branzino fillet, be it charcoal-grilled (€12) or steamed and filled with pancetta and black mussels (€15). The pizzas, prepared in a wood-burning oven, lean toward the Neapolitan-style with an airy crust. If unsure, go for the "Emiliana," packing Parma ham, mozzarella, and parmesan (€11). Do save room for dessert, as the profiterole (€4) and the tiramisu (€4) are among the best in Budapest. Pomo D'oro's long wine list includes selections from A-level Italian and Hungarian wineries.
Note that Pomo D'Oro is more enjoyable in the evenings as it's often overrun by business people from the nearby financial district at lunchtime. All in all, reliable Italian food and a friendly service rightfully make Pomo D'oro one of, if not the most sought-after restaurants in Budapest. Reservations are an absolute must.

Indeed, Istanbul is filled with cultural and historical sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and much more but there are other fun things to do as well! One needs to try out everything that the beautiful Istanbul offers! Let's find out what Istanbul has beyond the cultural heritages!
An underground cistern locally known as Yerebatan Sarayi (Sunken Palace) also as Yerebatan Sarnici (Sunken Cistern) was once the main water reservoir of Constantinople built in the sixth century. It is filled with centuries old columns. The ambience inside is dimmed orange shades where you need to walk over the wooden planks to get around. You can see Koi fish swimming in the standing water, and there are two mysterious statues with the head of Medusa and you can also hear the drips echoing creating a scary movie atmosphere. Isn't it a mysteriously fun place to make a visit!
Taking a bath in any of the real hammams (Turkish Baths) in Istanbul is a must! As the ones at the hotels are made for westerners that are not a real deal! Real hammams are a part of the Turkish tradition since thousands of years and served as a place to cleanse as well as to socialize. Most hammams are separated gender wise. Traditionally, the Turkish baths followed a three step process i.e. a sauna and steam followed with a full body wash and finished off with a massage. Kilic Ali Pasa Hamam, Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami, Cemberlitas Hamami are few of the currently used hammams.
Other fun activities include exploring the Asian side, taking a ferry passing Topkapi Palace, the Bosphorus Bridge, other castles and palaces, and more.
Istanbul is a place full of cultural as well as fun activities but to enjoy and explore the city to the fullest hiring a knowledgeable and reliable Istanbul tour guide is mandatory who can make you acquainted with the culture and tradition of the place really well and hence making your trip an exciting one. Turkey Tours by Local Guides aim to provide you the best touring experience in Istanbul. Please feel free to stay connected with us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social networks!


Shares in Stockholm fell sharply on Thursday afternoon, following uncertainty on international markets. Shortly after 3pm the OMXS index had fallen 3.5 percent.
"What we are seeing is real financial worry and uncertainty on the markets, and it is having this kind of result," said Rodney Alfvén, chief analyst at Chevreuz Nordic.
Share prices fluctuated wildly over the past two weeks. The past two days saw markets regain some stability, but Thursday saw heavy falls.
"What has happened is that one of France's largest business banks, BNP, has had to close one of its funds with links to the US mortgage market," said Alfvén.
The biggest loser in Stockholm was New Wave, which earlier released its half-year report. The company's shares lost ten percent of their value. Nobel Biocare and SAS also fell.
Stock market operator OMX bucked the trend, rising six percent after the Dubai stock market company DIFX announced it wanted to buy at least 25 percent of the company's shares. DIFX said it wanted to buy shares for a value of 230 kronor each, on the condition that it could gain control over at least 25 percent of the company. By 10am OMX shares stood at 229 kronor.

CUNY Board of Trustees announces new final grades deadline
The City University of New York's board of trustees has created a new university-wide policy that grants professors two business days after finals week to submit their final grades. Queens College faculty previously had a period of two weeks after the Fall semester to submit grades.
The new policy, which applies to both Fall and Spring terms, was announced on September 18, and was shared through a memo to the various departments at QC.
In the past, the QC academic senate, which is usually charged with determining academic policy, would set the deadline for professors to submit final grades.
"Most of the time changes like these would be discussed," Alexander Reichl, a political science professor and senator on academic senate, said. "We had no say in it."
There had previously been mention of the possibility that a deadline would be created, but the decision was made by the board of trustees and shared with the colleges after.
"New CUNY policy is enforced by the board of trustees," Dr. Elizabeth Hendrey, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at QC, said. "We have no choice."
Some faculty members raised concerns about the new policy, believing that it could strain professors by greatly reducing the amount of time they have to grade. For professors like Reichl, who have over a hundred students and nearly 200 papers to grade, the new deadline could make it difficult to include writing assignments for final exams.
"I don't know how I can assign writing assignments for so and so students for a final exam," Reichl said. "It doesn't seem fair to students. It doesn't seem justified to the educational standards the students have, and we have."
Furthermore, the period to finalize grades coincides with the holidays; finals week ends on December 20 and grades are due on December 26.
"Someone's always gonna have the unfair end," Manuel Sanudo, the chairperson of Academic Senate, said.
Sanudo recalled one incident that occurred to a student. The student needed to obtain a certain number of credits in order to gain a pay raise in his career. However, due to the comparatively lax nature of the previous deadline policy, he did not get his credits in time to get the pay raise.
The new policy would help prevent those kinds of situations and expedite the process for students to get their credits. The policy is described as part of a larger effort to consolidate CUNY policy and further centralize the university system.
"Once CUNY decides to implement uniform policy, we have to follow it," Hendrey said.
Although the new deadline was enacted this semester, the administration has offered to extend it for select faculty.
"If individual faculty members need extensions we will work with them," Hendrey said.
CUNY's stance has marked a departure from their previously hands-off approach in allowing QC to set academic policy.
"You could say it's an insult to effort to make things easier at Queens College or you could say maybe it's for the students," Sanudo said.

Meantime, the Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $640 million without a winner after Wednesday night's drawing.
Numbers for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing were: 4-19-23-25-49 and a Powerball of 14.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in New York in the September 16, 2020, drawing.
You can watch that Powerball drawing on Channel 7 Saturday.
This marks only the second time both of the national lottery games have topped $500 million.

Just after midnight, Jessie James Decker announced which finalist won the payout of a lifetime on "New Year's Rockin' Eve."
The odds of winning either of these jackpots are incredibly small: 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball and 1 in 302.5 million for Mega Millions.
The jackpots listed by the both lotteries are for winners who opt to be paid through an annuity over 30 years. Nearly all winners take the cash option, which is less.
Mega Millions and Powerball are both played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball also is offered in Puerto Rico.

The Dow was able to stabilize itself again in the past week without yielding any more for the time being. The threat, however, has not yet been averted. A slip down to the 20 LP from the monthly chart must always be reckoned with. On the way up to the top, the 20 LP from the weekly chart may well be considerably in the way.
As expected, last week the price broke through the last point two at 17369 points and reached a new low at 17323 and with this, a new point two. Directly after this, the price started to correct itself again, but so far, however, it has become stuck at the 20 LP from the daily chart. In addition, the 20 LP from the weekly chart is passing through at approx. 17866 points. This, too, could also tempt more sellers into the market. Currently, the chances are more on the lower side.
The uptrend has, by now, been broken once more. However, no new downtrend has been able to assert itself yet either. But as soon as the mark at 17555 points is broken downwards by the closing price, a new downtrend will be established. Then there will be a higher chance that the prices will continue to sink.

Interview, John Borek
John Borek was born and raised in Rochester, New York, in the 1950s and 60s. His mother was from Utica, New York, and his father was from New York Mills, New York. Borek received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University. He was the president of the 19th Ward Community Association and the Executive Director of the Community Development Corporation for southwest Rochester. He has worked as Adam McFadden's legislative aide for 14 years at the time of this interview.
In this interview, John Borek discusses his family history, his decision to make art after being diagnosed with cancer, and reviving Moose Murders, a poorly reviewed Broadway play from the 1980s. He explains his work with the Multi-Use Community Cultural Center, how he came to live in the 19th Ward, and what the neighborhood was like. He also discusses his work in community politics, how Rochester has changed over the years, and growing up in Rochester.


Picturesque Pongolapoort is situated in the Lebombo Mountain Range of North Zululand on the northern shores of the Pongolapoort Dam fed by the Pongola River. Built in 1972 to supply irrigation for the crops growing in the area, the dam, also known as Lake Jozini, has become a popular fishing destination.
"Phongolo" is a Zulu word meaning "trough" which aptly describes the Pongola River, with its steep banks and deep pools as it finds its way coast wards through the mountains. The dense indigenous vegetation, coupled with its remote location and abundant water supply has resulted in the creation of the Pongolapoort Biosphere and Nature Reserve.
With very little sign of human habitation Pongolapoort is a genuine wilderness of untouched beauty. Hippos, crocodiles and numerous species of aquatic birds have made the dam their home, while the mountain slopes provide an ideal habitat for both small and large game.
Well stocked with many species of fish, including the cunning tiger fish which has challenged many an expert fisherman, Pongolapoort is the venue for a number of fishing tournaments throughout the year, including the Tiger Fishing Tournament held every October.

Some things don't mix well. We already know that some medicines when taken together do not work well, what we refer to as dangerous drug interactions. Some food and drink we take can also have an effect on our medications too. Hence, before you take a medication for the first time, talk with your doctor or pharmacist to see if there are foods or beverages he may advise you to stay away from.
This fruit can change the way certain cells in your gut take in and move medication through your body. This can affect more than 50 drugs. It can make some drugs less effective – e.g. fexofenadine (Allegra) for allergies, and make others too strong – e.g. atorvastatin (Lipitor) that is used to lower blood cholesterol.
This dairy product can make it harder for your body to process certain antibiotics. Minerals in milk like calcium and magnesium are responsible for this effect, along with the protein casein. If you're taking antibiotics, make sure to find out if taking a lot of milk can reduce the effectiveness of your medication.
Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate which contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids and cocoa butter than milk chocolate, and little to no dairy product. Dark chocolate in particular can weaken the effects of drugs meant to calm you down or make you sleep, like zolpidem tartrate (Ambien). It also can boost the power of some stimulant drugs, like methylphenidate (Ritalin). And if you take an MAO inhibitor, used to treat depression, it can make your blood pressure dangerously high.
Alcohol often has harmful interactions with prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and even some herbal remedies. Alcohol interaction with medications may cause nausea and vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, fainting, changes in blood pressure, abnormal behavior, loss of coordination and accidents. Mixing alcohol and medications also may increase the risk of complications such as – liver damage, heart problems, internal bleeding, impaired breathing and depression. In some cases, alcohol interactions may decrease the effectiveness of medications or render them useless. In other cases, alcohol interactions may make drugs harmful or even toxic to the body.
It can weaken antipsychotic drugs like lithium and clozapine, but boost the effects and side effects of others. Drugs affected include but not limited to aspirin, epinephrine (used to treat serious allergic reactions), and albuterol (taken by inhaler for breathing problems). It can also make it harder for your body to take in and use iron.
Spinach is a rich source of Vitamin K. If you are taking the drug warfarin – a blood thinner, used to treat and prevent blood clots — be aware of how much vitamin K you take in. It can make Warfarin less effective and put you at higher risk of a dangerous blood clot. Spinach, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and parsley are some of the most common foods high in vitamin K. Try to eat the same amount of these foods every day so the level of warfarin in your blood stays the same.
Ginseng is a popular component of many herbal teas. Ginseng can lower the effects of warfarin, too. It also increases your risk of internal bleeding if you take the blood thinners heparin or aspirin, as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen. If you take MAO inhibitors, ginseng can cause headaches, sleep problems, hyperactivity, and nervousness.
This is an herbal remedy sometimes used to help people with depression. It is not a proven treatment for depression or any other health condition. It can make your liver release enzymes that can weaken the effect of some medications. Drugs that can be affected include cholesterol drugs like lovastatin (Altoprev and Mevacor), the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil (Viagra), and digoxin (Lanoxin), used to treat certain heart conditions.
In conclusion, now that you are aware of the different foods and beverages that may affect the medication you take, make sure you check carefully before you take any medication and always confer with your prescriber when you have doubts. Remember that this list is not exhaustive and there are other numerous food-drug interactions which may be harmful to your body. This is why it is most important that you only take drugs as prescribed by your doctors.

When I first came to Shangri La, to stay for a week with the people of Gentle World, I had no idea what to expect. I was really nervous about staying with people I had only emailed with beforehand. And in addition: vegans.
I had been a vegetarian myself for only two and a half years, and didn't have much in my mind about vegans, except that I thought veganism a very fundamentalist and strict way to live. And, to be honest, I always thought it was a little bit exaggerated. I mean, I was a vegetarian because I loved animals, and I thought that should be enough. So, as you can imagine, I was really excited and curious about meeting real vegans (the first vegans in my whole life).
And then I met with all these kind and warm people, welcoming me into their home, and being really interested in me. In the next few days, I had a lot of really nice and informative talks; not only – but mostly – about veganism. It didn't take long for me to come around and see the point. In fact, after the third night in my little cozy trailer, I felt pretty serious about becoming a vegan myself.
On the one hand, the decision seemed pretty easy, because I had these great people setting a wonderful example about how simple being vegan really was.
On the other hand, my parents own a farm. They raise animals for meat, and my mum milks cows for a living. So, I had a big identity crisis on my hands, about how to bring those alternative points of view in line.
How would I live with parents who are so different from me if I really went through with veganism? How would I be able to stand that the livelihood of my parents was grounded in murder? I couldn't find any real solution to that problem, but I realized that the only thing that counts at first is me, because that's all I can take care of in the moment. And I realized that I would still be able to love my parents even as a vegan. And so (after a long, calming talk with Summer – one of the Gentle Worlders) I decided to give it a try.
And here I am now, more than two and a half years later, still a vegan and still happy with my decision. I must admit that I do miss being ignorant sometimes (don't get me wrong – I know it's pretty self-centered – but sometimes I wish I didn't know about all the horrible things that happen to animals everywhere). But I try to use all my anger and emotion to actually make a change. For instance, we have a vegan group at my university, and we have managed to get vegan options in the cafeteria on a regular basis, as well as soy milk for coffee.
Half a year ago, I moved to Berlin, and I think it is the best German city to live in as a Vegan. We have vegan junk food, great cafés with cakes you would not believe, and vegan take-aways. Three weeks ago, a completely vegan supermarket opened up (right around the corner from where I live). They sell lots of great stuff.
But a lot has changed with my point of view about veganism in the last two years. When I first learned about animal exploitation, I couldn't help but see every non-vegan as an enemy and a bad person. But that really drove me crazy, so I had to do something about it. With all my missionary enthusiasm, I had to realize that most people do not want to be lectured to. So, I started explaining everything to people who really wanted to know. But when people just want to fight, I stop the discussion immediately, because it just hurts us both.
In the end, I am very happy about the opportunity I had to meet Gentle World: the people who showed me that being vegan is the only way of living.

Q: Differences between LINQ where and where method on a collection Is there any difference between using LinQ to filter compared to using a collections Where() method.
More specifically,
First
var numQuery = from num in numbers
               where (num % 2) == 0
               select num;

Second
var numQuery = numbers.Where(num => num % 2 == 0);

In the above query, which is better? And is there any performance consideration?
Thanks.

A: There is no difference. The first one is the Query Type LINQ. The second one is the Extension Method type. I'll prefer the second one because it has many built-in functionalities.
from the link below

"...however there is no semantic difference between method syntax and query syntax."

MSDN: LINQ Query Syntax versus Method Syntax (C#)

A: No, there is no difference at all (just as John pointed out).
To convince anyone who is not willing to believe, I've checked what IL code is produced, and it is exactly the same (posted below for those being curious):

IL_0001:  ldc.i4.4
IL_0002:  newarr      System.Int32

IL_0006:  stloc.0
IL_0007:  br.s        IL_0009
IL_0009:  ldloc.0
IL_000A:  ret

A: using Where() extension method does not need the select part Select(a => a) if you return the instance of each entry.
Query type expression always need the select part select a at the end of the expression, which looks redundant but required by the syntax.
Moreover, First() extension method does not have a corresponding query type syntax. So
you need to add brackets to query type expression (from a in b where a > 0 select a).First()
For nested query, you also need to add brackets to query type expression.
I can use b.First(a > 0) directly instead of b.Where(a > 0).First()
Therefore, I advocate using extension methods.

Analysts question changes made to property portal; URA says it's for 'greater market transparency'
By Janice Lim
Realis is a portal where detailed information on the transactions of private property such as prices, unit sizes and addresses are provided.
URA said revamp of Realis data system was to make it more user-friendly and transparent
But analysts said the price ranges of foreign property purchases are no longer available
Some said the portal still contains most information for analysts to understand the property market
However, others said their ability to make accurate projections may be impacted
SINGAPORE — Some property analysts have questioned the removal of some property data following the revamp of a portal by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), but the agency said that its goal behind the change is to support "greater market transparency".
The main contention arising from the revamp of the data system, called Real Estate Information System (Realis), was over the removal of the price range of private home purchases by foreign buyers.
In response to queries from TODAY, a URA spokesperson said on Thursday (Nov 12) that the changes were to make information "more easily accessible, available and user-friendly for the public and professionals".
"The goal is to support greater market transparency and enable users to make better-informed decisions relating to property development and transactions," the spokesperson added.
URA, however, did not respond to questions about why data on foreign buying has been removed, except to say: "As part of our continual efforts to improve our services, we will review the usage and usability of the enhanced version.
"We will take into account users' feedback on the enhanced version (including its data coverage) and make further enhancements where necessary to ensure the data portal remains relevant to users."
In its response to CNA, URA said that it excluded a small number of data sets due to their "very low usage rates".
Property analysts typically use data from Realis for research on their market reports.
Some property analysts said that the removal of pricing data of foreign buyers is not significant to the extent that it will affect their ability to make projections on the market.
Dr Lee Nai Jia, deputy director of the Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies at the National University of Singapore, said that the data available from the system is still largely the same.
Developers no longer allowed to reissue option to purchase to buyers
He added that in any case, property analysts make forecasts on demand and supply through the total volume of transactions.
Mr Desmond Sim, head of research for Southeast Asia at property consultancy CBRE, clarified that not all data on foreign buying has been removed. For example, he is still able to find out the proportion of homes bought by foreigners in the core central region.
However, he would not be able to filter the data further to find out the price range, unlike before.
"I think at the end of the day, I don't think it's a very big issue. It's a matter of usage… The main crux of data is still there," he added.
However, other property analysts said that information on foreign buying is useful when they work on consultative projects.
Mr Lee Sze Teck, director of research at property agency Huttons Asia, said that one example is when developers want to find out what market segment they should target for their residential project.
Private home sales continue to boom for fourth straight month in August: URA data
"This kind of data gives us a good feel in addition to what we hear on the ground… I think for us, more data is always good, rather than less data," he said.
Ms Tay Huey Ying, head of research and consultancy at property firm JLL, echoed the same sentiments.
"Foreigners contribute to demand for homes. Any information about what they are buying, including price range, will help us to understand better foreigners' buying patterns. That can help us to forecast demand more accurately. In that sense, it can help all stakeholders in making an informed decision," she said.
As to URA's removal of the data due to its low usage, Ms Tay said that there may be a need to evaluate and dig deeper the reasons for its low usage instead of just looking at traffic statistics on the surface.
She said not all data is being looked at every day, especially in this pandemic period when the number of transactions from foreigners is low.
However, even if they tap the data once a month or once every quarter, they can still use it to draw out some patterns, she added.

Q: Pass data between view controllers constantly without a segue? USING SWIFT Note: I am trying to solve this problem with swift, not objective c.
I am making an app the has 2 view controllers, one of the view controllers job is to deduct points from the variable, and the other view controllers job is to add points to that variable.
How can i make it that both view controllers share the same variable, or just constantly pass the variable between them?
Note, the 2 view controllers are connected with a tab bar controller, so i cant use a segue. I have tried using this code, but it does not work. Any Suggestions?
 override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject!) {
            var destviewcontroller: prizesViewController = segue.destinationViewController as prizesViewController
            //first other coins them mine
            destviewcontroller.coins1 = coins2

A: You could make a global variable in it's own file and call the variable in both view controllers:
struct Variables {
    static var coinsVariable = 0
}

//call
Variables.coinsVariable = 10

Also you could make a protocol where you set a function to update the coinValue. Then you can use it inside your ViewControllers as delegate and get the value from the method in the delegate. Check the Apple Documentation how to use protocols.

A: You could use notifications. I don't know how they work in Swift, but in Objective C you could post a VariableShouldIncreaseNotification and VariableShouldDecreaseNotification.
Then, you have either a third object that listens for these notifications and keeps track of the current value, or you could decide that one of the ViewControllers is the owner of the variable and it should listen for notifications from the other.
Either way the notifications keep the message sending decoupled from the message processing, so it's easier to move it around later if you need to.

A: pass a reference your VC A that has the VARIABLE to B -- now B can work on A's property
if it is more complicated think about formalising the 'contract' a bit using a protocol that A conforms to

A: Seeing as the accepted answer is terrible (in my opinion), I thought I'd give a more sensible answer for others.
Please note that this is not perfect either, but better.
Create a variable within the initial view controller.
Next, within the tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) function create a switch case of indexPath.row like so (keep in mind cells start at index 0):
switch indexPath.row {
case 0:
  ...
default:
  ...
}

Then assign the value you want to the variable you created before within one of these cases.
Perform self.performSegueWithIdentifier and then add the function below:
 override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {

    if (segue.identifier == "SegueIdentifier") {
        let destination = segue.destinationViewController as! DestinationViewControllerClass
        destination.variable = self.variable
    }

}

Obviously chaning "SegueIdentifer" with your identifier, DestinationViewControllerClass with the class you're using for the view controller you want to pass the variable to (in your case prizesViewController), and the variable names to your variable names (coins1 and self.coins2 respectively).

A: One possible way to accomplish this is using a third class, which holds the variable. If you make this class a singleton, both view controllers will be able to access the same value.
Information on how to create singletons in Swift can be found on this Stack Overflow question.
Assure yourself, however, to make the variable access thread safe.
