Q: How to get GPS location in OSMDroid without Internet connection? I made a little app in Android using OSMDroid library, my map is loading from assets. Now I want to put my GPS location on that map, but without using Internet connection. I found these
GpsMyLocationProvider provider = new GpsMyLocationProvider(getApplicationContext());
        provider.addLocationSource(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        MyLocationNewOverlay myLocationNewOverlay = new MyLocationNewOverlay(provider, mapView);
        myLocationNewOverlay.enableMyLocation();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"my location "+        provider.getLastKnownLocation()
                ,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationNewOverlay);

but nothing changes.

A:
... but without using Internet connection...

It depends on the positioning chip in your mobile device, if it was a:-

*

*Fully autonomous GPS chip: power-hungry, works without cellular connection, but performs poorly in urban jungle.

*Fully assisted GPS chip (A-GPS): must download "initialization" data from cellular network/connection, power-saving, performs fairly well in urban jungle.

*Hybrid - functions as A-GPS if connected to cellular network, or if orbital information is made available via a file, or functions as fully autonomous GPS in the absence of cellular network/connection.

Hybrid GPS/A-GPS were  offered in premium range of Windows CE mobile phones in the old days. But these days, all iOS and almost all Android mobile devices are fully A-GPS.
This link provides good descriptions of full GPS chip vs A-GPS chip.

Marianne Hagemann (* 17. Mai 1942 in Freiburg) ist eine deutsche Malerin und Zeichnerin.

Leben und Werk
Marianne Hagemann unternahm erste Studien bei den Kunstmalern Otto Marquard und Richard Dilger. Sie studierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Kunstgeschichte an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München und der Universität zu Köln. Es folgten Berufstätigkeit und die Gründung einer Familie mit zwei Kindern. 1995 bis 1996 folgte ein Gaststudium an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden bei Horst Hirsig. Seit 1993 lebt sie freischaffend in Allensbach.

Marianne Hagemann setzte sich zunächst mit der Figur auseinander, die sie abstrahiert in malerischem Bezug zum Raum darstellte. Im Laufe der Jahre fand sie zu einer Formensprache, in der wenige Bildzeichen wie Barke, Baum, Blüte, Nest oder Vogel für die menschliche Existenz stehen. Deren Unbegreiflichkeit sucht sie sich im künstlerischen Prozess anzunähern. Dabei steht die Zeichnung auch im malerischen Werk am Anfang des bildnerischen Prozesses, für die Künstlerin eine intime, unverzichtbare Methode, um den eigenen Bildgedanken auf die Spur zu kommen. Im weiteren Verlauf der Bildentwicklung beginnen Farbwahl, Malgestik und Farbmaterialität ihr Eigenleben zu entfalten, antworten auf die ersten Setzungen von Pinsel, Kreide, Stift und entfalten eine immer malerisch durchwirkte Bildräumlichkeit. Der Bildraum wird zum "geistigen Raum", den Friedhelm Mennekes bereits im Zusammenhang mit den Figurenbildern beschrieben hat. Philosophie und Dichtung, wie etwa Gedichte von Hilde Domin oder Rainer Maria Rilke, bilden in diesem Zusammenhang eine bevorzugte Inspirationsquelle.

Marianne Hagemann sieht im künstlerischen Prozess eine "Suchbewegung" und auch inhaltlich ein "Umkreisen" existenzieller Grundfragen ("wohin-woher"), und sie spricht davon, beim Malen eine "Balance von Verstehen & Nicht-Verstehen, ein Kommen und Gehen" zu erleben. Hartwig Volbehr berichtet, Marianne Hagemann sei "von Kindheit an von allem Unfassbaren, Unerklärlichen und Geheimnisvollen fasziniert", und diesem "näherzukommen und es zum Ausdruck zu bringen" sei eine "Art Lebensmotto" geworden und "präge ihr künstlerisches Schaffen."

Seit 1999 entwickelt Marianne Hagemann auch Objekte (Plastiken in Bronze) oder Installationen, wie sie sich etwa in einem schwebenden Kreuz aus Transparentpapier an dem Deckengewölbe der Martin-Luther-Kirche Werne zeigen oder an transparenten Fahnen in ihren Ausstellungen.

Zitat
"Diese Figuren von Marianne Hagemann stellen sich nicht dar oder gar vor. Sie finden sich ein. Sie ruhen in sich selbst. Was um sie herum existiert, scheint ihnen zu gehören. Es sind nur abstrakte Markierungen, die der Figur ihren Ort zuweisen. Die Reihen von Pfeilen, die in vielen Bildern wie Vögel ihre Bahn ziehen, sind Zeichen einer Raumdehnung in die Zeit. Sie bilden den geistigen Außenraum des figürlichen Innenraums."

Kim Jong Un says he still trusts Donald Trump, 'never made a negative comment'
Posted on: September 6th, 2018	by ABC News	No Comments
South Korean Presidential Blue House/Getty Images(PYONGYANG, North Korea) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's trust in U.S. President Donald Trump remains unchanged, according to South Korea's special envoy, who met with Kim in Pyongyang on Wednesday.
"Chairman Kim emphasized that he has never made a negative comment about Trump," Chung Eui-yong, South Korea's top national security adviser, said at a media briefing on Thursday.
Kim also reaffirmed his nation's commitment to "actively engage in denuclearization if the countermeasures are taken simultaneously" and "expressed frustration that his goodwill is not being properly delivered to the international community."
Kim stressed to Chung that North Korea's nuclear tests have become permanently impossible at Poongye-ri because two-thirds of its tunnel is destroyed. The dismantled missile-engine test site at Tongchang-ri is North Korea's only test facility.
This means North Korea "will completely halt long-range missile tests in the future, and is a very practical and significant step," Chung added.
North Korean state media supported what Kim told South Korean officials.
"Supreme leader said he fully supports and sympathizes with" President Moon Jae-in of South Korea, with Kim saying he "remains unchanged in his determination to strive hard to bring the fellow countrymen better results at an early date, bearing in mind the mission before the nation and its expectation," Korean Central News Agency reported, citing Kim's reply to a personal letter from Moon.
The two Koreas also agreed to hold a third summit Sept. 18-20 in Pyongyang. The two leaders will again discuss making progress on denuclearizing the peninsula, relieving military tensions near the border and opening a joint liaison office in the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
The envoys delivered a message from Trump to Kim upon Trump's request to Moon during their phone call on Tuesday, according to Kim Eui-kyeom, South Korea's presidential spokesperson, who did not specify what exactly the message contained. Trump also requested that Moon "play the role as a chief negotiator representing both North Korea and the United States" during the call, Kim told reporters. Kim's reply to Trump's message likely will be delivered later on Thursday during a phone call with John Bolton, a national security adviser.
Moon and Trump are planning to meet at the U.N. General Assembly later this month.
Kim said he agreed with South Korea's position that an official declaration ending the Korean War would help build mutual trust between the nations.
"Kim expressed his stance that a weakening of the United States-South Korea alliance or United States' troops' withdrawal from Korea has nothing to do with the war-end declaration," Chung said.
The two Koreas are aligned in formally ending the war, a measure that has helped thaw relations between the two countries. For the U.S., denuclearizing remains the top priority.
"Moon and Kim are pushing for a peace declaration to notionally end the civil war. The U.S. says, 'Eliminate North Korean nuclear weapons first,'" said Stephen Ganyard, an ABC News contributor and former deputy assistant secretary of the state. "Moon, Trump and Kim all have different agendas and goals. Someone will be forced to give in this month. Might be Trump if Moon sides with Kim."

Q: Two dimentional arrays (distinguishing the columns from the rows)? I am a novice to java. Im trying to write a two-dementional array that writes out a lottery ticket (6 integers) 10 times
int[][] lottery = new int[6][10];

for (int i=0; i < lottery.length; i++)
 for (int j=0; j < lottery[0].length; j++)
  lottery[i][j] = (int)(50.0 * Math.random());

for (int i=0; i < lottery.length; i++)
 for (int j=0; j < lottery[0].length; j++)
 {
  /*if i < lottery.length
  System.out.print(lottery[i][j] + " ");
  else
  System.out.println(lottery[i][j]);*/
 }

How do I write it out as 10 rows of 6 integers
23 12 31 49 3 17
9 1 22 13 36 50
.
.
.

A: Your array is backwards. If you want to be able to output 10 rows of 6 numbers with the nested for loops that you have, you would need the array to be int lottery[][] = new int[10][6];
Then to output it, you'd simply need to do:
for (int i=0; i < lottery.length; i++){
 for (int j=0; j < lottery[i].length; j++){
    System.out.print(lottery[i][j]+"");
    if(j < lottery[i].length -1){
      System.out.print(" ");
    }
 }
 System.out.print("\n");
}

The call to System.out.print will print the text without a new-line character so you can keep appending to the same line.

A: Java (like C), stores multidimensional arrays in Row-major order. Depending on your mindset this may seem natural or not but just remember arrays are referenced by [row][col], not [col][row].
Your array int[][] lottery = new int[6][10]; is 6 rows, 10 cols each. Based on your description, I think you want 10 rows or 6 cols each or int[][] lottery = new int[10][6];
Then print it:
for (int i=0; i < lottery.length; i++)
{
     for (int j=0; j < lottery[0].length; j++)
     {
          if (j < (lottery[0].length+1)
          {
              System.out.print(lottery[i][j] + " ");
          }
          else
          {
              System.out.println(lottery[i][j]);
          }
     }
 }

A: 10 rows of 6 integers:
int[][] lottery = new int[10][6];

Formatted printing:
for(int row=0; row<nums.length; row++) {
    for(int col=0; col<nums[row].length; col++) {
        System.out.printf("%2d", nums[row][col]);
    }
    System.out.print("\n");
}

Q: Video converter using movie.py project advice Hello I am working on making a youtube video downloader, and a video converter to practice python language. With the video converter, I am trying to convert an mp4 file to a mp3 file. I want the user to input the specified path without having to open the text editor to do so. My issue is this. I am having trouble trying to figure out how I can possibly, if it is possible, to convert the file using the user's input. Can someone help me with this?
Here is the code I have so far:
import moviepy.editor as mp

#ask the user for the location of the file
loca = (input("Please input the location of the video file you wish to convert: "))

# Insert Local Video File Path
clip = mp.VideoFileClip(r'loca')

# Insert Local Audio File Path
clip.audio.write_audiofile(r'loca')

A: Just type extension to the file
If you can't imagine here's what's look like.
import moviepy.editor as mp

#ask the user for the location of the file
loca = (input("Please input the location of the video file you wish to convert: "))
filename = input("File name. : ")
# Insert Local Video File Path
clip = mp.VideoFileClip(loca)

# Insert Local Audio File Path
clip.audio.write_audiofile(filename)

Q: Count Number of Visits per Day I am currently "developing" an excel template where a i need to registrer (count) the number of visits performed by someone per day of a month.
The template is like this:
The column AGENT ID and DAY OF THE MONTH has to be fixed, wheter it includes data or not.
In order to feed the template i would like to paste the source of the data in another tab, as it follows:
1: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6oeTS.png

A: Are you looking for a table like this:

A
B

A1 (1/1/2021)
2

A1 (2/1/2021)
1

A1 (3/1/2021)
0

If so, here is the formula:
=LET(
    Column_Key, Table1[DATE OF THE VISIT],
    Column_Filter1, Table1[AGENT ID],
    List_Filter1, "A1",

    Categories, SORT(UNIQUE(Column_Key)),
    Categories_Names, List_Filter1 & " (" & TEXT(Categories, "M/D/YYYY") & ")",
    Array_BoolKey, (TRANSPOSE(Column_Key)=Categories)+0,
    Mask1, TRANSPOSE(ISNUMBER(XMATCH(Column_Filter1,List_Filter1))),

    Array_BoolMasked, Array_BoolKey*Mask1,
    Array_Ones, SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(Array_BoolMasked),1,1,0),

    Body_Count_Visits, MMULT(Array_BoolMasked, Array_Ones),

    Array_Seq, {1,2},
    Array_Body, CHOOSE(Array_Seq, Categories_Names, Body_Count_Visits),

    Return, Array_Body,
    Array_Body
)

The formula creates an array Array_BoolKey that is Categories tall by AGENT ID wide. It will show TRUE if AGENT ID visited on the specific Categories.
Mask1 creates an array 1 tall by AGENT ID wide. It shows TRUE if AGENT ID =
List_Filter1. List_Filter1 can be a list if required. For instance, if you want to know if A1 and A2 visited, use List_Filter1, {"A1", "A2"}.
Multiplying Array_BoolKey by Mask1 to get Array_BoolMasked sets all agents not in List_Filter1 to FALSE.
The last step is summing across each row of Array_BoolMasked to get Body_Count_Visits. Body_Count_Visits is Categories tall by 1 wide. To sum across an array, you need to use MMULT.
To output correctly, we need to combine the Categories_Names and Body_Count_Visits arrays. We do that with CHOOSE.
If you want to add headers and footers to the table, this formula adds them:
=LET(
    Column_Key, Table1[DATE OF THE VISIT],
    Column_Filter1, Table1[AGENT ID],
    List_Filter1, "A1",

    Categories, SORT(UNIQUE(Column_Key)),
    Categories_Names, List_Filter1 & " (" & TEXT(Categories, "M/D/YYYY") & ")",
    Array_BoolKey, (TRANSPOSE(Column_Key)=Categories)+0,
    Mask1, TRANSPOSE(ISNUMBER(XMATCH(Column_Filter1,List_Filter1))),

    Array_BoolMasked, Array_BoolKey*Mask1,
    Array_Ones, SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(Array_BoolMasked),1,1,0),

    Body_Count_Visits, MMULT(Array_BoolMasked, Array_Ones),

    Total_Count_Visits, IFERROR(SUM(Body_Count_Visits),"-"),

    Array_Seq, {1,2},
    Array_Header, CHOOSE( Array_Seq,  "Date",                          "Agent" ),
    Array_Body,     CHOOSE( Array_Seq,  Categories_Names,  Body_Count_Visits ),
    Array_Total,     CHOOSE( Array_Seq,  "Total",                          Total_Count_Visits ),

    Range1,Array_Header,
    Range2,Array_Body,
    Range3,Array_Total,
    Rows1,ROWS(Range1), Rows2,ROWS(Range2), Rows3,ROWS(Range3), Cols1,COLUMNS(Range1),
    RowIndex, SEQUENCE(Rows1 + Rows2 + Rows3), ColIndex,SEQUENCE(1, Cols1),
    RangeTable,IF(
        RowIndex<=Rows1,
        INDEX(Range1,RowIndex,ColIndex),
        IF(RowIndex<=Rows1+Rows2,
            INDEX(Range2,RowIndex-Rows1,ColIndex),
            INDEX(Range3,RowIndex-Rows1-Rows2,ColIndex)
    )),

    Return, RangeTable,
    Return
)

The output table looks like this:

Date
Agent

A1 (1/1/2021)
2

A1 (2/1/2021)
1

A1 (3/1/2021)
0

Total
3

For reference, here is the input data in table format:

AGENT ID
DATE OF THE VISIT

A1
1/1/2021

A1
1/1/2021

A1
2/1/2021

I Want To Have Triplets Like Farah Khan: Rakhi Sawant After Marriage
By KalingaTV Bureau On Aug 5, 2019 0
Mumbai: Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant on Sunday confirmed she has tied the knot with UK based businessman Ritesh. She said, "I love him. I have married my fan. A fan who loved me truly.
She further revealed that Ritesh is a 36-year-old UK based businessman. "I get hundreds of messages from fans every day. But this one day, I was feeling very low and a fan messaged me asking, 'Why I am so low?' I was stunned! So, I asked him how he figured that I am feeling that way. To which he said, 'I have been your fan for long enough to understand how you feel.' I just fell for him. I knew that day that I will marry him one day," she said.
On being asked why she kept her marriage a secret, Sawant said, "I was worried as I have seen how earlier women in the industry wouldn't get work if people came to know that they were married. When it comes to big actresses like Deepika and Priyanka, it is okay if they declare their marriages as they always get work. But I do item numbers. I didn't know if I would get work if people came to know that I am a married woman now. But I think I have to keep that behind me as I am a very happy woman today. I got married to the man of my dreams."
Rakhi dated Ritesh for a year and finally tied the knot on July 28 at a five-star hotel in Andheri, Mumbai.
After marriage, Rakhi says she cannot wait to start a family and plans to have babies by 2020. She further added she wants to have triplets like Farah Khan.

Over the last few years, many of you may have received renewal notifications from a company called the "Domain Registry of America" or DROA for short.
DROA first started sending out fake domain renewal letters to domain holders, using information harvested from various WHOIS databases (mainly the Tucows OpenSRS database) in 2002. But in fact they were transfer approval forms.
These letters were worded in a way which tricked domain owners into thinking that they were the registrar of the domain and included various phrases and logos that reinforced this. In addition, highly inflated prices were charged to those who did transfer their domain and those that realised what was going on also got charged for the privilege.
Some of our customers were caught in this scam and faced months, even years, of problems to recover their names.
In more recent years both American and British legal authorities have attempted to force this company to stop sending out the notifications and yet they still come. Amongst other names they have used included: "Domain Registry Services", "Registration Services Incorporated" and "Domain Registry of Europe" and "Domain Registry of America", "Yellowbusiness.ca", "Internet Registry of Canada", "Domain Registry of Canada", "Domain Registry of Australia".
Always check with your existing domain hosts if you receive anything like this – 99 times out of 100 it will be legit but if you are the 1% you will wish you asked first.

Then a strange darkness begins to grow in Rose's mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy's iron gates. The immortal undead are closing in, and they want vengeance for the lives Rose has stolen. In a heart-stopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most… but will her choice mean that only one can survive?
It's hard to really settle on one feeling for this series. They can be thrilling, sending you speeding through the pages, but that only seems to happen once you reach the fourth quarter of the book. The majority of it just seemed to drag on, with little to no action in the plot to keep it interesting. I spent over a month trying to get through this book. It was more of the same—academy drama, Rose keeping things from Lissa in order to 'protect her', and the Rose/Dimitri forbidden-relationship tension.
Maybe if you loved the characters it might be more gripping, but as it stands, I'm a bit so-so towards Rose. She's tough, but doesn't really think things through. Pretty much, what she was like in book one. With all that has happened in the series, I would have expected her to realise that she's the one causing the problems and to change her actions. Still, I've liked the Strigoi plot enough to make it three books into the series. I'll keep going, but I certainly need a break.
Fans of this series will enjoy this, but if you've been feeling like me, maybe not so much.

Admiring others' financial successes is one thing. Envy, on the other hand, can easily put your investments at risk. Jealous of fellow investors' boons, individuals often attempt to duplicate the results with little success. Unfortunately, one person's strategy doesn't always fit another's life circumstances or monetary constraints.
According to Ronn Yaish, managing partner at Yaish Financial Services, investors often hear stories from friends, family members or co-workers about their latest investment scores. "The investor comes home after hours of festering and second guessing his investment plan and leaves dramatic communication for the advisor to call first thing about something urgent," Yaish said.
The investor then tells his financial advisor to copy a friend's investment, even if it doesn't make sense. Unsurprisingly, this tactic leads to losses and reinforces poor investing behavior.
Copying an investor's strategy is one matter, but keeping an eye on the competition is another.

Some people say New Orleans is haunted because of witches. Others say it's haunted by vampires, or ghosts, or all those swamps. But if you were around between 1817 and 1905, you might say the city was haunted by death. And that death, in large part, was caused by yellow fever.


Visiting supporters should be aware that there is no street parking available around the Etihad Stadium. There is a residents parking scheme in place covering a wide area which is strictly enforce. Anyone parking in these streets will be clamped and/or fined.
K2 car park is located on Ashton Old Road (A635) at the junction with Pottery Lane (A6010). The entrance is on the south carriageway of Ashton Old Road, about 200 yards from the junction (M11 3AA will get you right outside the entrance). It cost around £7, and is staffed throughout the afternoon.
Get the train from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly and then catch a regular bus service to the ground.
Apart from being a venue for the 2002 Commonwealth Games it is also used for concerts and was the largest stadium concert venue in England before the new Wembley Stadium was built.


Grapeseed oil may lessen allergic reactions on skin. Grapeseed oil can inhibit allergic reactions, and may help with fighting skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis. It also penetrates the skin quickly and has almost no odor, and is therefore usually non-irritating.

LOL Yukon Flag Mission (PVE Thread)
19 Jan 22:31 Ahskance on Forums - Thread - Direct
In general, when we set a mission that requires "Wins", we assume that a player will have a 50% Win Rate. Expecting 10 Battles to be needed could be a significant amount of time depending on the experience, as average battle length is 10-15 minutes. On that assumption, it could take as "little" as 50 minutes of playtime to receive 5 Wins in a row, or as much as two and a half hours of playtime to get 5 Wins over the course of 10 Games Played.
With the inclusion of Scenarios, this could be 5 runs of Narai which is nearly a 100% chance of winning should you have a few other players that enjoy Scenarios.
50 Minutes to 2.5 Hours of playtime in the ship over the course of 27 days doesn't seem like an overly large ask.
I've inquired about the inclusion of an "Or" condition that could be set for Co-Op Wins, but by the time metric described earlier the expectation would likely fall in the mid-point of around 1.5 hours. T...
Spotting damage using destroyer
I'll link you a video at the end of this post which describes what our "Spotting" system is. Detection can be a complex and bizarre mechanic for newer players, so it's worth going through the video.
In general, "Spotting Damage" is gained when a ship shoots at something it cannot see. The teammates that CAN see that ship, will get "Spotting Damage" awarded to them because of their rendering assistance to their team. They get approximately 1/10th of the rewards for the damage done, I believe.
The comments talking about using Smoke in Destroyer is to help facilitate this:
You provide Smoke to your team which allows your teammates to hide in/behind.
Your teammates behind the smoke cannot see through it
Using your Destroyer, you spot targets for your team
Your teammates shoot at targets that are "Spotted" by you, their teammate.
You are awarded "Spottin...
New Players Captains Log
A Team is the sum of its parts.
Boggzy and I have a lot of Game experience, but not a lot of actual "Gaming Industry" experience. As such, bringing in someone with experience in the areas we lack means we have a more rounded capability set.
A newer player means we have a fresher perspective on how Events and Additions are viewed, and we also have access to industry-style knowledge on event planning and organization.
Video card replacement
Not going to lie, I bought a Pre-Built computer for around $1,500... purely because the cost of the Video Card was more than that on direct sale. Manufacturers bur direct at a discount, so the cost difference is extreme.
Unless you're looking for something that's fairly dated, you might glance into Manufacturers that can provide a gamut of pre-built options with last generation cards. I'm sure you could find something surprisingly capable for $800-$1,100.
Pan-Asian Paper Ship Token Counting
@RainbowFartingUnicorn
I've Pinned and Featured this topic. Thanks for putting in so much effort to outline everything <3
lol~ It's just a section where you can read along with the experiences of a new player as he finds his footing in the game.
Having a newer-player perspective is always good for keeping us grounded. It can be easy to get whisked away in all the details and minutiae that you absorb over the years from playing World of Warships.

Operations ...WHEN?
Operations have a smaller population base than the more major modes. That was taken into account and they were considered a lower priority... until the CC Exodus and a long hard look at our internal processes and intentions.
We were already working on AI Tools, so it was determined that finishing those would allow us to re-implement removed Operations. The expected time for their return is this year, though there is no further refined timeframe than that.
There's no problem is mentioning that Operations are important to you and the players you hang out with. This information is what was so helpful in getting Operations back on the menu in the first place. Please feel free to keep bringing them up as something you consider very important.

Unpopular opinion......with Wedgie.
eviltane summed this rather straightforwardly...
Modelers that make ship models aren't bug fixers.
Artists that draw splash screen aren't bug fixers.
Game Designers that create new mechanics aren't bug fixers.
Audio folks the create new music aren't bug fixers.
In short, it's a fairly specialized art to find bugs and squash them.
We do have a team for finding and fixing bugs, but they are extremely hard to track down in a game of any sufficient size (and small games too). We do the best we can, but there are almost always new and weird ways for code to do unexpected things.
If you'd like to learn more about our Big Fixing process, we have a video here:

There is no current policy which operates in that fashion.
WG, I think your article is a day early
Language is being updated and we'll pass a word to the global team that posts these updates for us.
It does immediately follow that sentence with the information that it's describing the situation in Update 0.11.0.
Update: After receiving information corroborating the passing of the clan's Commander, and receiving the unanimous decision from the entire available Leadership structure of this clan, the Commander position has been moved to the requested player @skippy_versys
We are going to work on an internal policy to handle rare situations like this for the future.

What getting on the board actually means and steps to help you get there, whether that's imminently or sometime in the future..
How Can I Get Into The Boardroom?
In short, there are two main ways to get onto a board. The first path is to rise up within the ranks of an organisation, eventually getting promoted to a board position where your duty is to act in the best interests of shareholders and business owners. As a board member your job is to help the business fulfill its fundamental objectives, whether that's increasing revenue, or delivering a high quality service.
The other path is perhaps one that is more achievable to most of us. You don't necessarily have to be a director to be involved with a board. You can sometimes take on an advisory position for a business, or even a not for profit, charity or organisation. This can sometimes be a paid role, especially in the commercial sector, although these opportunities tend to be limited to particular skillset, such as finance or marketing.. You will still be acting like a director, in that you are using your skills and experience to help that organisation fulfill its objectives.
If you want to get noticed as board material you need to show responsibility, leadership, and an ability to influence…whatever this means for your industry.
One way to dip your toe in the water might be to take on a school governorship, PTA or local committee post or joining Toastmasters. Get comfortable with speaking in meetings, crafting compelling arguments and improving presentation skills.
I became chair of a local networking organisation, which gave me ample opportunities to get used to speaking up and managing groups, develop leadership skills and the ability to steer and orchestrate round table discussion. From this I gained the confidence to step into an advisory board role.
Taking on responsibility within a charity is a possible next step. However, examine the contractual conditions and responsibility involved as a Trustee position will include some liability, i.e. you may become personally liable for that charity's finances and actions.
I have been asked to join advisory boards on many occasions as a result of networking. Admittedly, as a tax consultant I have expert knowledge, but being in the right place at the right time, and connecting with the right people has played its part.
Also, tell people what you're doing and where you'd like it to take you. Find a mentor who is in a board position and ask if they'd mentor you…or at least ask if you can take them out to lunch and pick their brains!
Don't just take the first offer that comes along. I was recently offered an advisory position with an organisation. It was flattering but I didn't feel any passion or even affinity for the subject, so turned them down. Aim to work with an organisation or cause that gets you personally fired up, inspired or has a strategic value (it's an area you might want to move into in the future).
Your role is most likely to be advisory, i.e. to present the facts or options and then step back to let the key decision makers do just that, make their decision. Remember your opinion may be subjective. Allow for open minded discussion and avoid any personal bias.
A head for numbers is usually most welcome. You will be engaging in high level decision making, and it helps to know your numbers. Just think of the 'Dragons' on Dragon's Den berating a would be entrepreneur for not knowing the difference between gross and net profit, or why turnover means little in reality. You cannot afford to make mistakes like this.
Research the business or organisation you will be working with, and be prepared to ask questions. Everything has a cost implication and on the board, these are the criteria you will be working with. Getting comfortable with language like "return on investment" and "overheads" is key. Leave your emotion at the door, and think logically. Come with questions and suggestions rather than opinions.
Finally, do use your position to mentor the next generation of female board members!

Why do people send Christmas cards?
Sending Christmas cards is popular in many Anglo countries but it's not a common custom in France. … Because the French don't send Holiday or Season's greeting cards, sending Happy New Year cards is pretty stress free.
Things have changed since, but few French people send greetings cards in December; they send them throughout January until the 31st, which is the dateline! The popularity of greeting cards has never ceased growing since, but the Internet has brought a new dimension: virtual greeting cards.
In France, birthday cards tend to be sent by mail from people who aren't present at the party, rather than given with gifts.
Christmas cards are not so common in France, people and companies will send a card saying « Bonne année » rather than « Joyeux Noël ». But both they are called cartes de voeux.
They are offered in domestic, USA, and International denominations and available in books at the postal outlets. Europe: Collectively, Europe purchased nearly 2 billion Christmas cards last year! Now, that does include those from the UK, but what a great number of greetings shared with the world.
IMPORTANT: Question: How much VAT do you pay in France?
It is a mark of France's civilisation that the nation has never embraced the Christmas pudding. The French prefer a fancy log – of ice cream or sponge and chocolate.
Christmas is celebrated as a public holiday in France on December 25, concurring alongside the United States and other countries. Public life on Christmas Day is generally quiet. … Many people in France put up a Christmas tree, visit a special church service, eat an elaborate meal and open gifts on Christmas Eve.
The most traditional way of saying "happy birthday" in French is "joyeux anniversaire". Play the audio and note the liaison in "z" between the the silent "x" of "joyeux" and the "a" of "anniversaire".

UK consumers lead the rest of the world in sending greetings cards, new Ofcom research reveals. As the final posting date for Christmas arrives, Ofcom's survey finds that more consumers in the UK send greetings cards than in any other country surveyed.
Christmas Cards appeared in the United States of America in the late 1840s, but were very expensive and most people couldn't afford them. It 1875, Louis Prang, a printer who was originally from German but who had also worked on early cards in the UK, started mass producing cards so more people could afford to buy them.
Holiday cards are a reflection of your sentiment during the holiday season and often make family and friends feel better. You can make someone smile with a heartfelt message or a funny Christmas photo they can't get anywhere else.

Director Umetsugu Inoue's second film with Yujiro Ishihara casts the actor as Senkichi, a seaman seeking out his father's enemy. Senkichi's bad attitude immediately gets him into trouble with the crew, but he attracts the attention of the two women on board: a sultry stowaway (Yumeji Tsukioka), and the captain's high-spirited daughter (Ruriko Asaoka). Ishikara's character was something new to Japanese films: a dirty hero with his own sense of justice (and a way with song!).


Great question. And it goes in line with what brought you here: Should our financial institution provide ID Theft/Recovery Solutions to account holders?
Our opinion is a resounding "Yes!". Our company does offer this service through Value-Added Checking, yet we want to help you determine if it makes sense in your financial institution.
Below, we illuminate some surprising findings about digital theft and what it means for your institution.
First, let's look at the realities of financial theft.
With more of our lives saved "in the cloud", the amount of personally-identifiable data on any of us increases daily. Each new service (supposedly) makes our lives easier and more connected.
Unfortunately, that also means those who would do us harm have a lot more information to use.
In the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC) 2017 Data Breach report, they found what you would expect. Breaches are up. A lot. In 2017, 1,579 data breaches exposed nearly 179 million records.
If that sounds like a huge number, you're not wrong.
That's a 44% increase in number of breaches and a mind-boggling 389% increase in records exposed!
2017 was a big year for data breaches. Yet it pales in comparison to 2018. In just the 10 major corporate hacks, almost 2 billion (non-unique) records were exposed.
Who can forget the infamous Equifax hack of 2017? In one of the most darkly ironic hacks ever publicized, one of the top credit bureaus lost control of their information.
The very company whose business model it is to protect people's most sensitive personal information. And then, Equifax handled it with the grace of a puppy tumbling down a pile of freshly washed laundry, without all the cuteness.
In a scene reminiscent of an old Seinfeld episode, Equifax took their time even admitting to the hack (and changing the story of its extent numerous times).
Then, they set up a special customer assistance web page.
Except, they didn't use their own trusted domain. Nor was it signed with their normal security certificate. And it asked for your social security number, in a mind-boggling faux-pax of internet security practices.
In fact, it looked suspiciously like a phishing site.
Things didn't go well for the vast majority of us whose personal information was now…somewhere.
Are you connected to the internet in some way? Then, unfortunately, yes. Experts agree it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
In fact, I was at a credit union industry conference where security had a top focus.
Needless to say, upon hearing these speakers, the room filled with clackering teeth and nervous tics.
So they're going to try and get in. How does that affect your account holders and institution? And what can you realistically do?
Like it or not, when a member or customer's account is breached, it's going to take resources and dollars to rectify. And guess who pays? Let's watch it play out.
Remember that plan we mentioned above? Now's the time to put it in action. Your account holders expect you to handle it and make everything right again with their financial situation.
Of course, you know it's not always easy, nor is it that simple.
Financial institution's systems are compromised.
From the perspective of your members or customers, they don't care what happened; they just want access to their money (see Basic Assumptions from the beginning).
If hackers gained access to just a single account, you can lock it down and assist the account holder in resetting passwords, replacing cards, and anything else necessary, as well as reimbursing for lost funds.
Keep the idea of reimbursement on the back burner for just a moment.
If it's not a single account, but rather, the entire financial institution system, the effort needed to get back to normal can be substantial.
Expenses and staff time can pile up as the direct effects of a hack make themselves known. Recovering from backups or other systems adds time and money to an already stressful process for all involved.
After a lot of hard work and cooperation, kudos to your team; the hack is behind you all. Back to business!
Ah, but what about the actual monetary losses from account holders?
Whether it was one or many accounts, the expectation is that the money was safe, thus, it has to return!
According to a study by Javelin Research, mean fraud amount per individual is $1,038. Yet their total out of pocket loss averaged $48.
No worries, someone else pays…right?
No. The buck stops with you. Most institutions write off the dollar losses of breaches and fraudulent access as a "cost of doing business". While Federal Regulations do protect account holders, liability shifts to the corresponding financial institution.
Within two business days, account holder loss is $50.
Within 60 days, account holder loss limit is $500.
Past 60 days, the account holder will probably be out the money and any overdraft fees incurred as a result.
Remember the average out of pocket loss was $48. Your financial institution makes up the difference (and often ensures the account holder suffers no losses at all).
And, of course, there's insurance (or special bonds) to protect you as well. Except… it's rare for it to apply.
According to bank execs we spoke to during research for this article, the deductibles on this coverage are typically much higher than the average account balance.
So your institution simply absorbs these losses.
Plus, since identity theft affects a wide range of an individual's life data, there is work involved contacting law enforcement, social security, DMV, loan-holders, and other agencies.
"Comfortably Numb" is more than a great song. It's also how many people view protecting their personal information.
With massive breaches and individual hacks now a regular occurrence, the general public is more indifferent to them than ever before.
The majority say staying on top of financial transactions is a challenge (53 percent), and nearly half (48 percent) don't even check their credit reports regularly for errors or suspicious activity.
So if your own account holders are more vulnerable than ever to these losses, yet the money lost is overwhelmingly borne by your financial institution, what can you do?
Should financial institutions offer ID Theft insurance?
Thanks to Federal protections, average out of pocket cash loss is $48 to consumers. That's why some organizations advise against the purchase of Identity Theft insurance.
These services (such as LifeLock) offer coverages from $10,000 all the way to $1,000,000, yet, as research shows, these amounts of liability and losses are extremely unlikely.
The real impacts for most are felt in the Restoration process.
2 billion accounts had personal information stolen.
Much of that data was sold to criminal enterprises around the planet, where it is held for varying lengths of time (often to let the monitoring expire) before acting upon it.
Depending on how much information is available, fraudsters may accomplish a full takeover or cloning of a consumer's identity.
That opens up a world of criminal opportunities, from new credit cards to pension and social security payment kidnapping!
The first step upon discovering ID Theft is a freezing of all applicable accounts. Recent transactions get reviewed, illuminating suspect transactions. Then, new account numbers (and cards) must be issued.
And that's just for one financial institution.
How many places do you have money saved or borrowed in some form? Each needs to be contacted, along with at least one credit bureau (to put a freeze on any credit inquiries or approvals).
Take a breath, because we're just getting started.
Now that immediate monetary accounts are secure, law enforcement must be contacted, then the Federal Trade Commission, and even mortgage, rental, and utility companies.
We're talking any entity where a consumer has a business relationship.
When my family member's social security number was somehow exposed, not only did they find dozens of fraudulent charges on their credit card, they also saw unpaid bills from their power company for a residence that was not theirs.
Yes, a criminal was using the stolen identity to (not) pay for electricity at another home!
And this doesn't include the dozens of new in-store credit cards and accounts at financial institutions unfamiliar to the family member.
Clear your schedule, because this could take a while.
According to LifeLock, the average time spent fixing an identity theft issue is seven hours, usually over the course of a day, but up to a month.
Needless to say, this can become a major source of anxiety, stress, and even time lost from work. As your account holder's primary (or favorite) institution, they will be looking to you for help. What do you have to offer?
Much of this lost time and resources (for both the people affected and your institution) can be avoided with a proactive, resolution-based ID Theft insurance system. How?
What's the difference between Proactive and Reactive?
I'll answer with another question: What's better, dealing with fraud after it happens or just stopping it at the first sign of a problem?
Not a difficult answer. Stopping fraud before it causes problems is the objective of Proactive programs.
Monitoring tools run 24/7, catching suspicious activity as it happens, then notifying the individual through text message (SMS), e-mail, and even phone alerts in the moment.
This prevents most damage from taking place.
A Reactive program simply provides tools to check credit bureau reports and other personal information, along with a variety of tips on keeping their personal data safe.
With no constant monitoring, a problem gets discovered because something already went wrong, making restoration a greater challenge.
No matter which coverage an individual has, both provide assistance in the event of fraud. However, the degree to which they get you back to normal depends on the naming: "Restoration" or "Resolution".
Which is better? Resolution or Restoration?
This is a trick question, right? Unfortunately, it's not. While both work towards the same outcome, each have a unique approach.
The Resolution approach is more DIY and generally includes advice and a step-by-step process for the consumer. There is no dedicated person at the company assisting, however, they may offer customer service to answer questions.
With Restoration, the affected individual works with the ID Theft insurance company.
Typically, a specialist gets assigned to their case, and that person will help them with the legwork…the calls, communications, and paperwork necessary to ensure their identity is fully restored.
No matter which approach a person chooses, costs incurred by them during the process can be reimbursed by the insurance company (up to stated limits).
What Does ID Theft Insurance Cost?
As we covered above, premiums can vary greatly depending upon the coverage chosen: whether it is Proactive or Reactive, if it is for Restoration or Resolution, and what the limits are.
LifeLock, the largest of the retail ID Theft Insurance providers, prices their plans between $9.95 and $29.95 per month (increasing after the first year).
Due to the importance of having as many account holders covered as possible, over 600 financial institutions currently integrate ID Protect (which our firm represents) into their Value-Added Checking.
This is blanket coverage, available at a fraction of the cost of any retail plan, and is generally part of a revenue-generating benefit bundle tied to your account holder's checking account.
We believe it is an important item to provide your account holders, not just for their peace of mind, but for what it can do to reduce your own lost time, money, and efforts.
Yes, it is possible to protect your account holders while making money. We're happy to discuss more about this program to see if it might be a fit for your institution. Take a moment to learn what Value-Added Checking is and to see if, for you, its benefits outweigh any costs.

Armistice 100: 'Death and misery' at home as the war guns fall silent
Hannah Mawdsley. Pic: Tim Stubbings/AHRC
On Armistice Day, 1918, men, women and children united to celebrate the war's end, but the relieved crowds without meaning to helped spread a deadly disease.

The influenza pandemic of 1918 – known as the Spanish flu – infected about 500 million people around the world and is considered by some as one of the greatest medical catastrophes of the last century.
In Britain, 228,000 are believed to have died of it – according to the Wellcome Library – with an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide.
In east London, newspapers told story after story of families devastated by the disease, including that of Emily Partridge. The 40-year-old passed away at her brother John's house in Butts Green, Hornchurch. He had already lost his 30-year-old wife to Spanish flu, according to the Barking, East Ham and Ilford Advertiser of November 16, 1918.
The November 9, 1918, edition of the Stratford Gazette reported 240 deaths that week alone in the old county of West Ham, risen from 100 for the previous seven days. In the former borough of East Ham, 134 people died, up from 67 the week before.
The case of Charles Daniels – an unemployed man who lived in lodgings in London Road, Plaistow – illustrates the speed with which the disease could kill.
His landlady told the inquest into his death that "a few days ago he seemed to have a slight cold" but by the weekend he was discovered dead in his room.
The gruesome symptoms saw some victims' lungs fill with fluid, starving them of oxygen.
This was shown by a creeping blue colour starting at the toes, fingers, nose, ears or lips before spreading across the body. This was often a sign of a fatal case.
Advertisements for Oxo and Sanatogen which promote their products as a resistance to the influenza epidemic of 1918.
Historians believe the disease spread to Britain from northern France, where it was known as "le grippe", carried, some say, by returning soldiers.
Its peak in Britain came at the end of the war. By all accounts it was a hugely devastating disease.
But outside medical circles, it has largely been forgotten.
Hannah Mawdsley – a PhD history student at Queen Mary University of London – said: "The Spanish flu is particularly fascinating since people know relatively little about it, despite this worldwide impact and its profound impact on so many families.
"There are heartrending accounts of soldiers who had survived four years of war, only to be heading home and receiving the news their wives or family members had died before they could get back."
And there were the soldiers who stayed in France to help demobilise troops, only to catch the flu and die before they could get home.
For her studies, Ms Mawdsley has been looking at a collection of letters held by the Imperial War Museum's archives.
They were collected in the 1970s by the journalist and historian Richard Collier who placed newspaper adverts asking for readers' memories of the Spanish flu. He received more than 1,700 responses.
One letter, sent by a Mrs E. McDonald, describes the deaths of her grandfather and cousin.
She watched in horror as they "died like flies" seeing victims taken in plain coffins to the cemetery by the lorryload. She was about 8-years-old at the time.
On its legacy, Ms Mawdsley said memory of the flu has been overshadowed by the First World War. However, it has never been forgotten in medical circles with public health reform following in the decades after its outbreak.
But as we remember those who died in the war, it is important not to forget this devastating disease.
"The armistice celebrations themselves helped spread the flu. Many places had closed schools and public venues to limit the disease's spread," 32-year-old Ms Mawdsley said.
"But when the peace was declared, people celebrated in mass crowds allowing the virus to spread easily.
"I found the contrast between the armistice – which should have been a time of relief and celebration – and the death and misery of the Spanish flu particularly striking."

Govt issues Tongan plane warning
9:04 am on 11 August 2013
The Government has withdrawn its support from the Tongan tourism industry and is warning travellers about the risk of flying on airline Real Tonga's MA60 aircraft.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says the MA60 has been the subject of serious concerns amongst aviation experts and is not certified to fly in New Zealand.
Tonga was gifted the Chinese-made Xian MA60 for its domestic airline by China last month.
Mr McCully says the MA60 has one of the world's worst safety records and New Zealand will not be spending taxpayer's money promoting tourism in Tonga until the Government is satisfied with the safety and reliability of the new air service.
He says he is in discussions with the Tongan Government about the issue.
Massey University's Director of Pasifika, Malakai Koloamatangi, says it is an extreme move and it would be better if the New Zealand and Tongan Governments sat down to resolve the issue.

Today's post comes from a letter I'm writing to a friend.
That's all for tonight, just a few thoughts at large about having spent the last 2 months on the island. Let me know what you think about the post format- it's nicer to write on paper.


This necklace set is a step into the wild side for me. It was created while attending a weekend class by Connie Fox..... The necklace is a combination of individually hand made lampwork glass beads in shades of purple and green, ceramic beads, sterling silver findings and heavy gauge sterling silver wire. Necklace adjusts from 18¾ - 20 inches in length and weighs 4.0 oz. All wire is hand coiled and shaped and dipped in liver of sulfur for an antiqued appearance.
Earrings measure 1¾ inches in length. Bracelet adjusts from 7½ - 8¾ inches in length and fits a wrist measurement of 6¼ - 7¼ inches best. Earrings and bracelet are made using ceramic beads, sterling silver findings and wire.


Construction of a greenhouse is more than ever the work of specialists, professionals who know how to handle materials and machines, employees well aware of the responsibility weighing on their shoulders. It is therefore good to know that Prins Group has been building greenhouses for decades. We have lived through the evolution of the greenhouse first hand and acquired experience that is priceless for you, the customer.
You work with a greenhouse builder possessing full knowledge of the engineering involved. We implement tested techniques for the construction of Venlo or wide-span greenhouses, combining maximum efficiency with optimum reliability. More than any other builder, Prins Group is also familiar with the construction of greenhouse systems not belonging to everyday types. For example, the innovative Cabrio greenhouse is ideal if you wish to make as much use as possible of the outside climate. But plastic greenhouses are also one of our specialties.

Q: Multiple rows in Array-Excel VBA I wanna create a lottery application.
I have a 2d Array that has in the first column names and in the second number of lottery tickets.
Name     NumberofLlotteryTickets
george      2
john        1
chris       3

I want to create another 1d array where each name appears as many times asthe number of tickets. So it is like this
Name
george
george
john
chris
chris
chris

I don't care if they appear consecutively. Just to appear as many times as the number of lottery tickets in order to make the random selection in the new array.
Do you have any idea on how to make the loops to create the new array?
Is there any code for the random searh?
Also, the lottery will be repeated many times, so I want to delete the chosen name from the array I will search.
Thanks

Brotherly duo Blaq Tuxedo (Darius and Dom Logan) return with the video for "Us," a tender ballad about trust and how couples can often bring the best out in one another.
The video finds the two brothers emoting into the camera in close-up, singing under flickering lights, intercut with images of a beautiful woman who represents the object of their affections.
"Us" is a highlight from ABA (Art By Accident), their first studio release as Blaq Tuxedo (they previous performed as D&D), a diverse song collection with rap-n-b bangers of every stripe and flavor.

Fetterman struggles anew: 'Abortion rights deserve to every woman regardless of where straight --'

Fetterman struggles anew: 'Abortion rights deserve to every woman regardless of where straight –'
October 17, 2022 | Robert Jonathan | Print Article
Stroke victim John Fetterman continues to have difficulties articulating his thoughts while on the campaign trail.
In the meantime, one corporate media outlet, at least indirectly, seems to be trying to compare the far-left hoodie guy, who reportedly needed closed-captioning during a sit-down with NBC News, to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his distant cousin, President Theodore Roosevelt.
Abortion-on-demand supporter Fetterman, Pennsylvania's Democrat lieutenant governor who is running for U.S. Senate, made this comment during a stump speech:
"Abortion rights deserve to every woman regardless of where straight—uh, excuse me, what state that you live."
In a previous rally, as one of many examples of his communications style, Fetterman urged a crowd to "Send me to Washington, D.C. to take on—to make sure I push back against work to work."

As BPR has previously noted, no one wishes Fetterman anything less than a full recovery; the question is whether he is currently up to the task of serving in federal office for a six-year term.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has made Fetterman, particularly his capacity to serve, the subject of a series of editorials.
Last week, Carlson implied that the power-hungry, win-at-any-cost left wants Fetterman in the Senate because he can be easily controlled, similar to how a cabal of insider Democrats is using President Joe Biden as a puppet.

Fetterman is running against GOP standard-bearer Dr. Mehmet Oz, the heart surgeon and health-and-wellness TV star. During a recent appearance with Carlson, Dr. Oz asserted that Fetterman is a soft-on-crime, alleged tax deadbeat who is running a Biden-style, limited campaign.
Even with Fetterman's impairment, a RealClearPolitics aggregate of five polls rates the Fetterman-Oz contest as a toss-up, with Fetterman supposedly ahead by 3.4 percent, which is presumably within the margin of error.
One of those polls, the Trafalgar Group, which tends to have a reputation for accuracy, also puts the race in the toss-up category. Under the circumstances, that the race is apparently this close is concerning.
After the Fetterman campaign's delaying tactics, Oz and Fetterman are finally scheduled to debate on October 25, well after mail-in ballots have already poured in, however.

As alluded to above, a letter to the editor published by Penn Live insinuates that John Fetterman is perhaps a hero comparable to the two Roosevelts, both of whom faced serious health challenges
Voters should not be pulled into the tactic of the Dr. Mehmet Oz campaign to raise concern over Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's continued recovery from his stroke earlier this year. One should recall the grueling years-long rehabilitation of an earlier prominent Democrat to battle the paralyzing impact of poliomyelitis. Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't do badly in his subsequent service…As with the two great Roosevelt's, John Fetterman's attitude in his recovery is testament to his character and dedication to best serve his fellow Pennsylvanians in the years ahead.
A letter to the editor doesn't necessarily reflect the views of the news outlet itself.
Tucker's honest rant about Dems running severely stroke-impaired John Fetterman will trigger left https://t.co/OScWY49cZA
