The LA Rams Unveil New Interactive Augmented Reality at SoFi Stadium
The ARound app lets you watch the game in a whole new way, with custom Rams minigames and animations.

For years, the cell phone has been the mortal enemy of the in-stadium experience professional, a needy pocket gremlin crying out for attention in between—and often during—live sports action. But Josh Beatty, founder and CEO of augmented reality app ARound, and the LA Rams have a plan to turn that battery-powered nemesis into an ally, thanks to a new AR experience during Rams home games at SoFi Stadium, another great reason to make a point of visiting the shimmering palace in Inglewood beyond the art and the food.
You can download the ARound app through a QR code, which appears prominently on SoFi Stadium's titanic video board before and during Rams games, or by finding it in the App Store or on Google Play. Load it up then enter your seat information, and you're off and running. Hold your phone up to look at the field, and you can manipulate a host of digital objects and play games that appear to be happening on the field itself—and you'll see other app users around the stadium doing the same.
Many of ARound's activities are aimed at younger fans, or fans who maybe don't connect with the tension and anticipation of the in-between moments at a football game. After a big quarterback takedown, instead of looking at the down and distance, analyzing team strengths and trying to guess the next play call, you can make a digital caricature of Aaron Donald dance as blue and yellow sacks with the word "SACK" on them fall around him.

During TV timeouts, you can watch the Rams tribute to the 1999 Super Bowl winning team on the jumbotron, or you can play a field-goal kicking minigame and then watch as your kick appears digitally superimposed on the field from your actual perspective. At any point, you can tap the screen to toss various objects onto the field, and, in a genius bit of multiplayer engagement, you can see the things other people are tossing too. Digital beach balls bounce through the crowd, footballs fly onto the field, and blue octopi float majestically down from the bleachers.
It's not that Rams games are boring—far from it, thanks to Marissa Daly, the Rams' VP and GM of Media, and her team's lively programming. There is something happening at every moment in between plays; during a TV timeout, the Mariachi Rams band steps onto the stage and blasts a quick rendition of "I Got 5 On It," or maybe they will run a karaoke game on the jumbotron with ad-libs from in-house DJ MaL-Ski, and then Danny Trejo pops up on the videoboard to ask the crowd "Whose house?" To which you are expected to reply, of course, "Rams' house!" It is a chaotic and fun experience, a treat even in the midst of an injury-plagued follow-up campaign for last season's Super Bowl champions.

ARound's phone app is not designed to supplant any of that artfully choreographed entertainment, or to replace anyone's primary viewing experience. It is a supplement, a second-screen bit of fun for folks who can't quite quit their phones—for now at least. Beatty and Elspeth Rollert, CMO of the Stagwell Marketing Cloud of which ARound is a part, talk about an unlimited future of brand-based storytelling and, potentially, monetization. With ARound, fans could watch and engage with an ever-shifting stadium, highlight players to learn more about them, and play with any number of easily customizable digital assets. For games around Halloween they could add spooky blue and gold decor, and during winter you might be able to turn SoFi into SnowFi with a tap on a phone screen.
Beatty makes broad reference, also, to NFTs, maybe including tokens that could commemorate attendance at a game or event. At SoFi stadium all tickets are digital, so this could someday serve as a 21st century ticket stub, proof positive that you were there for a specific game, that you bore witness to a special play, a non-fungible souvenir to show the grandkids.
In recent years it has become all too easy to miss the collective moment with your nose buried in social media or texts or work emails, the people's history subsumed by the Wordle group chat. If ARound is able to harness that distraction and redirect it towards the field, even with an overlay of digital octopi and minigames, the experience for everyone will be better for it.

Two right. Vegas loves me.
Laviolette may be on the hot seat. Different coaching style, more offensive minded.
External pressures at play there. We all know it. The GOP did lose many senate seats unexpectedly though.
That WC1 slot was the place to be. A shame the Habs couldn't close it out.
With the steady decline in playoff performance by Nashville you have to think Laviolette will start feeling heat as well.
This is the definition of a meh move. At that salary he can be waived and sent to Laval or claimed by another team.

Country Star Lee Brice Takes Home CMA Award for "Musical Event of the Year" with Carly Pearce at 54th Annual CMA Awards
by Helen Pocock | Nov 12, 2020 | Hot off the Press, Upcoming Events | 0 comments
Country music powerhouse and Curb Records recording artist, Lee Brice, is celebrating his win at this year's CMA Awards for "Musical Event of the Year" for his single with Carly Pearce, "I Hope You're Happy Now." The song, produced by late songwriter and producer, Busbee, was a hit for the artists – quickly climbing to #1 at Country radio.
"I can't even begin to express the gratitude I have for this single moment. GOD IS SO GOOD!," says Brice. "Quarantined, locked off from the world, my family, my babies, and yet I've been feeling more reflective and more grateful in the silence than I have in a really long time. Just when I truly believe I couldn't ask for a single thing more, y'all hit me with this! Y'all, thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Carly – thank you for believing in me! Thank you, CMA! Thank you to my fans for being the best and I'm looking forward to this upcoming year with you all!"
Pearce performed the single at last night's award show alongside Lady A's Charles Kelley, who stepped in for Brice while he quarantines at home following a positive COVID diagnosis.
Following a live broadcast of country music's biggest night on ABC across the US last night (11/11), highlights from the show will air on BBC Radio 2 at 7:00pm GMT on 15th November, with a TV broadcast on BBC 4 at 10:00pm GMT on 19th November.

There is a game where everyone is happy. Where light and shadow meet. Where the ending involves some King's Quest-ish magical cinematic scene. This is not that game.
Tom Brokaw Quest: Adventures in Boredom, puts you in the shoes of Tom Brokaw, one of the most boring people on the planet. (If you didn't know, he really is an extremely boring anchorman for NBC Nightly news) You have to go around the city, write news reports, and much, much more! Then, you have to confront your arch-nemesis, Bob Boringfeld (instead of Jerry Siendfeld). You will have to go to exotic locations like Boringville and Lulu Land. It's being done in the style of PQ3, and will have voice acting. Hate it. Love it. Play it. Get on with your life. Give me your opinion for this ridiculous game.
P.S: I'm looking for people who can make some really crappy music and I mean reeeeeaaaaaaaly crappy. It should be done aroun December, could be longer.
Here's a few screenies for you to enjoy!
To see them, right click, save target as.
I always say if you CAN make 4 games at once you should!! But I doubt anybody COULD At least not without the quality suffering a little! I'm working on 2 projects in my free-time!
Did you make those graphics yourself? Or are they rips? Just curious.
The character is Indy in his suit from FoA.
You're right, it IS Indy. But keep in mind that this is only in the starting phase. Perhaps I will start a competition in the competitions section for what he should look like. It would give me a bit more feedback.
So sorry. In that case, are you at least allowed to show your versions of other people's games?
The "Boring Cafe" is actually the cafe from PQ1VGA, the Wino Willy's is a dead giveaway, and the NBC News building is the parkade from the Police Department in PQ3.
It is sort of a modified remake, but with a storyline that is extremely different.
The local moderators of this forum seem to have gone on holidays or something!
Webspider, you are clearly abusing this forum. You present game after game with nothing to show up except for ripped graphics which you haven't given proper credit for.
You display an amazing aversion to following the rules, and a lack of respect for other people's properties.
Don't start a new thread again until you have a real project going, something you have worked on for a good amount of time, something you have put energy and pride into, something that is a product of your own progress in learning the AGS and the various programs needed.
I didn't lock the topics because Webspider is perfectly entitled (if insane) to make several games at once.

A Beat Down to Go Back to Back
By DJ Harding –
At Sofi Stadium on January 9th Texas Christian University (TCU) took on the University of Georgia. The Horned Frogs (TCU) came in as a 3 seed while the Bulldogs (Georgia) were number 1. TCU were total underdogs this whole season to the point that during a preseason a bet of $10 would win $2,010. The Cinderella story that is the Horned Frogs season, got here after beating number 2 Michigan in a New Years duel that had some back and forth. While Georgia beat Ohio State on a game winning field goal at the buzzer. The Bulldogs came into this championship looking to go back to back and be the 8th team to accomplish this feat. The Bulldogs were also looking to complete an undefeated season. TCU meanwhile were hoping to win their third national title in school history the previous one being in 1938 and also winning in 1935.
TCU got the ball to open up the game but the Georgia Defense showed the world they came to play as they forced a three and out. The Georgia offense with the momentum from the defense took the ball 57 yards in 5 plays that ended in a Stetson Bennett 21 yard touchdown run. The Georgia Defense stayed dominant causing a TCU fumble which led to a field goal. With a 10-0 lead TCU finally woke up after a touchback Max Duggan threw a 60 yard bomb to Derius Davis in what was the big play in a 5 play 75 yard drive that ended in a Max Duggan 2 yard rushing touchdown. Unfortunately TCU must've gone back to sleep as those were their only points of the night. Yes you heard that right the Horned Frogs had only 7 points. What was a Cinderella Run quickly turned into 12:01 because the Horned Frogs fell apart. The Next Drive was what the dagger even though it was the first quarter as Bennett threw a 37 yard touchdown to a wide open Ladd McConkey. The Bulldogs proceed to take advantage of the Horned Frogs carriage turning into a pumpkin as the Bulldogs proceeded to steamroll TCU in the first half of the game with the half ending Georgia up 38-7.
Coming out of the half Georgia had the ball and scored again. The Bulldogs were so dominant they scored on 10 of their 12 possessions one being a punt the other being the kneel downs at the end of the game. The Bulldogs went on to win in a 65-7 slaughter in what was Stetson Bennett's final college football game as he earned himself a curtain call which coach Kirby Smart gave him in the 3rd quarter. Bennett went out in style throwing for 304 yards and 4 touchdowns along with 39 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns on top of that. Bennett also won the games MVP making it his second in the national championship and his fourth in bowl games.Bennett is the first player ever to have 4 bowl game MVPs as he led the Bulldogs to the largest margin ever recorded in a bowl game. At 25 years old and finishing his 6th year of eligibility Bennett now heads to the draft as Georgia will attempt to make it 3 in a row next season.

As you may recall, we spent most of August in Denmark. While we were away, my parents were nice enough to look after our garden and take care of T Cat. When we got back in late August, we were greeted by an explosion of veggies, herbs, and fruits from our backyard garden. Since coming back from Denmark, many of the meals were made with veggies and herbs from the garden. We have also been busy consuming a large quantity of apples.
The backyard garden has been extremely worthwhile. Not only that we have been eating healthy organic homegrown items, we also saved a ton of money by not having to buy things from grocery stores.
Baby T1.0 planted one single cantaloupe tree in the spring and now the cantaloupe plant is growing nicely. Talk about having a green thumb!
Needless to say, we'll be busy consuming homegrown produce for the next little while.
In total, we received $1,588.16 from 24 companies in August 2018. Unfortunately, we didn't cross the $1,600 mark because companies like Costco and Metro didn't have dividend distributions; they will be paying dividends in September instead.
Still, a monthly dividend income close to $1,600 is a pretty remarkable accomplishment, considering that we started off the year getting slightly over $1,300.
Out of the $1,588.16 received, $423.86 were in USD and $1,164.3 were in CAD. Or about a 30-70 split. If you are a long time reader to our monthly dividend income reports, you know that we use a 1 to 1 currency rate approach. We do not convert dividends received in USD to CAD. We are ignoring the exchange rate to keep the math simple. This is our way to avoid fluctuations in dividend income over time due to changes in the exchange rate.
The top 5 dividend payouts in August 2018 were Royal Bank, Vodafone, Emera, Bank of Montreal, and National Bank (not in order). Dividend payouts from these 5 companies accounted for 56.2% of our August dividend income, or $892.36.
Interestingly, unlike other months, a large percentage of our monthly dividend income came from our RRSPs in August. This was certainly not by design.
When it comes to being tax efficient, only 20.2% of our August dividend income was taxable. The rest was completely tax-free or tax-deferred.
As a reminder, we only hold US dividend-paying stocks in our RRSPs to avoid the 15% withholding tax. If we were to hold US dividend-paying stocks in taxable accounts, we would lose $0.15 for every dividend dollar received, however, we do get the foreign tax credit. If we were to hold US dividend paying stock in TFSA's, not only we would lose $0.15 for every dollar of dividend received, we would not get the foreign tax credit.
This is certainly something to consider when you start investing US dividend-paying stocks. When we started out with dividend growth investing, I made the mistake of holding a number of US stocks in our TFSAs, losing 15% whenever we received a dividend payment.
Compared to August 2017, we saw a respectable YOY growth of 19.59%. Funny this number was very close to the YOY growth number we saw last month. We managed to beat it by 0.03%! Woohoo!
It's very nice to see that we managed to stay above the 15% mark 8 out of 9 months and we are averaging 18.88%.
Emera raised its dividend by 3.98% to $0.5875 per share.
Royal Bank raised its dividend by 4% to $0.98 per share.
CIBC raised its dividend by 2% to $1.36 per share.
Saputo raised its dividend by 3.1% to $0.165 per share.
SmartCentre REIT raised its dividend by 2.9% to $0.15 per share.
Bank of Nova Scotia raised its dividend by 3.66% to $0.85 per share.
All these dividend increases meant an overall annual dividend increase of $160.98. If you think $160.98 is an insignificant amount, think again.
At 3% dividend yield, the dividend increases meant we didn't have to invest $5,366 to get that dividend amount. When we do eventually invest $5,366, at 3% dividend yield, we'd receive an extra $160.98. This is a perfect example of having our money work hard for us so we don't have to.
Since we were on vacation in Demark for most of the August, I paid very almost no attention to the stock market. I was too busy enjoying Danish food and eating ice cream.
Two scopes of delicious ice cream. with whipping cream and jam on top. Yum!
Therefore, we didn't make a single dividend stock transaction.
Being quiet is totally OK from time to time.
For the most part, we expect the rest of 2018 to be pretty quiet on the dividend stock transaction front.
So far in 2018, we have received a total of $12,012.22 in dividend income. If we keep averaging about $1,500 per month for the rest of the year, we should be able to hit our goal of receiving over $18,000 in dividend income for 2018. If that happens, that would be an awesome accomplishment!
I was short $12 this month to hit $1K in dividend income but it was 114% more than last August so still good.
Thank you Caroline. So close to hitting the 4 digit mark. 114% YOY growth is very impressive. I'm sure you'll get $1k shortly.
First – new logo and site layout look good!
Second – nice to see those dividends continuing to roll in. You got paid $1600 last month to go on vacation I guess! I feel like there's a real nice exponential growth chart in the making here….
Thank you Freedom 40 Plan. Yup I guess you can say that we got paid almost $1600 last month to go on vacation. That's pretty sweet.
Nice looking produce from the garden, and nice dividend growth too! I'm jealous of your 19% dividend growth. This year we probably won't see much growth due to the shifting around of various investments.
But I'd happily trade my YOY growth for your dividend amount hehe.
First off, those veggies look insane. Time to open a mini grocery store in your front yard. As usual a nice long diversified list of companies paying you in August. Happy to be a new T shareholder with you. I just initiated a position last month. Your portfolio continues to produce nice double digit year over year gains. Keep it up.
dude, that's a fine new logo. did you make it yo'self? that are some awesome looking vegetables too. bon apeitite. those are some sweet dividend bucks. i assume the YOY growth is partly from reinvestment?
YOY growth came from a combination of reinvestment (DRIP), organic dividend growth, and fresh capital.
Wow, great month you've had and really highlights the passive aspect of this since you earned a substantial amount—and gained some great forward income from raises—while you were enjoying some R&R time in Denmark. And 6 dividend raises in the month!
Looks like we share 8 holdings, and while I'm still new to DGI I was able to pull in a little over $400 and had a solid 156% YoY growth!
Wishing I were a neighbor to enjoy some of your excess veggies!
With such a high dividend yield …. You will need alot of money invested to hold enough shares to get these great payouts. Roughly speaking what is the size of the portfolio u have invested?
I don't disclose our portfolio value but it's not hard for you to work backwards…. just use a dividend yield of 2%, 3%, 4% for estimation.
My wife and I have been following your blog for the last year and it's great! Keep up the good work! You and your family are an inspiration to us as we would also like to achieve FI and retire before 50. We are new to the journey so that is why we probably won't be able to retire until such time.
You see, we are currently building up our portfolio slowly and we are generating only about $78 in dividends per month. Hopefully in about 5-10 years we'll get to where you are.
I noticed that you no longer hold BCE in your portfolio. Have you sold it? And if so, can you provide a bit of insight as to why? My wife and I see BCE as a pretty steady stock (although it hasn't performed well recently) with a very good dividend yield of 5.7%. Do you think now would be a good time to enter as the share price is much lower than at the end of last year? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
We still hold BCE in our portfolio. May add more BCE in the future, we'll see. I'm a bit concerned regarding their payout ratio and the ability to grow dividend payout moving forward.
Awesome results Bob! Almost $1600 for going on vacation is a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Also really like your garden!
My month was a personal best with 43€!
Thank you Mr. Robot. 43€ is pretty awesome, keep it up!
Your garden is awesome. What kind of apple is that? Your dividend is awesome too, great job.
You guys are doing extremely well with the dividend. We've been stagnant there. I've been putting new money into real estate crowdfunding.
We aren't doing real estate crowdfunding and real estate is simply too expensive here in Metro Vancouver to invest IMO.
That garden harvest is sweet. and so many apples! how do you not have one worm hole or brown spot?
We had a lot of apples with worm hole or brown spots. If we picked everything we'd have gotten way more apples.
Thanks for sharing your dividend income update, Bob! Earning nearly $1,600 in one month from dividends is extremely impressive. And over $12,000 in dividend income this year…wow! Good luck with your goal to surpass $18,000! Sounds like you enjoyed your vacation to Denmark. That ice cream looks absolutely delicious! You can tell it was good by the texture lol. Thanks for including your garden photos too. Looking forward to the next update!

"In the People of God, by the grace of his compassion granted in Jesus, many families prove by their deeds that death does not have the last word: this is a true act of faith. Every time a family in mourning – even terrible mourning – finds the strength to guard the faith and love that unite us to those we love, it has already prevented death from taking everything. The darkness of death should be confronted with a more intense work of love. 'My God, lighten my darkness!' is the invocation of evening prayer. …"
-Pope Francis, General Audience June 17, 2015
Part of our shared human experience is losing loved ones. Their passing, even in the most ideal and peaceful of circumstances, leaves a void and a pain to those who survive the deceased. As Catholic Christians, we move through the stages of grief anchored in our faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the example of eternal life that we are invited to share through our baptism.
The Grief Ministry of the Archdiocese of New Orleans Office of Marriage and Family Life connects individuals with Catholic bereavement and grief ministry communities, as well as provides the local Church with events and resources to assist those processing or struggling with the death of a loved one.

BEGINNING EXPERIENCE WEEKEND
Listen. Accompany. Heal.
Peer grief resolution for separated, divorced and widowed persons.
Don't know where to turn? Struggling with grief or loss?
When distress, despair, anger or grief are trivialized, dismissed and remain unresolved, life may seem unfulfilled and aimless. The loss of self-esteem, together with feelings of sadness or bitterness, becomes a way of life. Well-meaning people advise, "Get over it," but it is just not happening.
Sometimes the pain of the loss of a loved one, either by death, separation or divorce, cannot be overcome quickly or easily. It has become a habit to utter, "I am OK" when asked, but inside there is a heavy heart.
Healing can start with a Beginning Experience weekend at a retreat center. Through the Holy Spirit, a safe and sympathetic environment is created. Listening and understanding allows wonderful transformations throughout the weekend process. It is not a quick fix. Rather, the weekend renews hope that a new life can be found beyond the pain.
Friday, December 2 - Sunday, December 4, 2022
The Beginning Experience Weekend on December 2-4, 2022, is a wonderful healing opportunity for those suffering a loss of a spouse either through death or separation/divorce. The weekend will take place at the Archdiocese of New Orleans Retreat Center in Metairie..
Those who have attended this weekend attest to the new hope they have received and the powerful safe and loving environment they found in the experience. Under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of New Orleans Office of Marriage and Family Life, this international program has helped thousands navigate the road through grief.
Call Melanie Trimarco at (630)589-2813 for more information or to register.
Grief is a normal reaction for children to the death of someone significant. When children experience the death of a person who has played a significant role in their life, it is normal for children to struggle, whether the relationship with that person was caring and loving, or contentious and difficult. The absence of a person takes time to fully accept and even then, children may continue to miss them in their own special way. In truth, children never "get over" a person's death, but they can learn to live with the reality. Grieving children often feel alone and misunderstood. Grieving children feel less alone when they are with other children who have experienced the death of a significant person and when they have loving, consistent adults in their lives.
These statements are from the National Alliance for Children's Grief of which Jewell Bayhi, our Coordinator of Grief Ministies, is a member.
Children need as much from us in their Grief process or even more than adults do.

Plant Profile: Racine Waste Water Treatment Plant
The fourth largest plant in Wisconsin takes on significant upgrades as it treats wastewater
Located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Racine County, Wisconsin, the Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant provides wastewater treatment for eight satellite communities.
The design capacity is 36 million gallons per day (mgd) and the plant capacity is 108 mgd. There are two flow equalization basins, each with a capacity of 100 million gallons. Theoretically, it is possible to treat 308 million gallons of water, but typically when there is heavy rain, it is between 150 to 180 mgd.
Staff Takes Pride
The plant's system is old, there is a lot of inflow and infiltration during rain events; so much in fact that it surprises new operators.
"When we've had a lot of rain, more typical is probably between 150 and 180 mgd, and that's a lot of water!" said Mary-Frances Klimek, Racine Wastewater Utility Superintendent. "When we have new operators in and they see all of that coming through that diversion structure, you usually see that look of shock on their face. I wouldn't say it's panic, they know what to do, but they've never seen that amount at one time before."
Due to flow challenges, especially those during rain events, construction and upgrades are generally centered on flow management. The facility's staff is prepared for anything, however. From unforeseen events and unexpected rain to simple adjustments, operator flexibility is a point of pride.
"I am most proud of the people that I work with. We have a group of people that take what they do very seriously," said Mary-Frances Klimek, Racine Wastewater Utility Superintendent. "Our goal everyday is to put the best effluent that we can from our plant to Lake Michigan, as well as the emission put to the air. Our people have solved problems that many plants bring contractors in to take care of."
The Racine Wastewater Utility discharges effluent to Lake Michigan. Two lines come into the plant, one from the north side and one from the south side. At the front of the plant ferric chloride is added for phosphorus limit, which helps with H2S reduction.
Racine WWTP Flow
The flow comes to a diversion structure and proceeds through the preliminary and pretreatment building. The plant has two vortex grit removal units at 70 mgd each to remove coarse abrasive inorganic material continuously from the screened water flow.
The preliminary treatment building contains four bar screens, each with a rated maximum capacity of 35 mgd. The sludge passes through each of those and then through one of 12 primary clarifiers. The clarifiers are divided on the east and west sides. The plant alternates between these throughout the day. This is done because the nutrient removal for 12 clarifiers is too great and they do not have enough biochemical oxygen demand for the back of the plant.
From the primary clarifier, the sludge is pumped from the bottom of the tank through one of four digesters, and then the solids portions from those digesters has a detention time of approximately 4 to 5 days. From there, sludge goes to a holding tank, which used to be a secondary digester. The sludge is then pulled from the holding tank to the belt filter press of which there are six.
From the belt pressers, the sludge goes to one of two trucks, and the cake is hauled to either a storage building or a farm.
As the water leaves the primary clarifiers, the primary effluent flows through a channel to the back of the plant, where it enters the aeration system. There are five aeration tanks which have an approximate volume of 1 mgd each for approximately 5 mgd of aeration capacity. From there, the flow goes to one of nine final clarifiers, before entering one of two ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems. From here, the water discharges to Lake Michigan.
In The Home Stretch
The Racine Wastewater Treatment Plant is in the final completion phase of a 20-year Facility Plan. This phase involves an aeration project, replacing fine bubble diffusers with membrane diffusers. The plan also includes a new UV system, new engines, blowers, an engine generator and a biogas cleaning system. The team also plans to add launder covers. Recently, the team completed repairing a digester cover and adding a walkway between two of the primary clarifiers. As the fourth largest plant in Wisconsin, the plant and collection system teams can crossover.
The plant has redundancy for most of its equipment and operation, Klimek added. The team also has an inclusive training program for everything from operation, maintenance and safety of all equipment and processes both at the plant and in the collection system.

What's user database is shared with Facebook privately not publically so you don't need to worried about it. both apps operating by the Facebook group. Due to false rumors and lack of information about the right privacy policy, what's app loses a number of users. With launching this new WhatsApp privacy policy end to end encrypted messages chat app. such as telegram and signal get high popularity and get a huge amount of active users without spending a single penny.

There is a huge backlash on social media about this new WhatsApp privacy policy. people are expressing their thought about the new privacy policy. Most of them decide to uninstall the WhatsApp app due to their privacy or private concerns.
Do The Privacy Really Matters for Peoples?
People all around the world are very serious about their privacy. nobody wants that some play with their private data or represent it publically. WhatsApp competitor apps get free benefits due to these fake rumors that the new WhatsApp privacy policy will reveal the private data of WhatsApp users.
How We Are Paying The Cost of These Free Apps?
The truth is that everything that we are using in free is very dangerous for us. actually, we are paying the cost of free things in the form of our personal data, these big companies are playing without interest likes, dislikes, and all other concerns that we will never want to share with anybody at any cost.
How We Can Save Our Private Data From WhatsApp?
Most people are confused about how one can save his/her personal and private data from these bullshit apps. The answer is "yes" you can save your data from these apps. you just need to give some attention while installing and using an app not only WhatsApp. when we install the app they ask for permissions about the gallery, camera, and mic, etc, don't give permission to your gallery and other media once you press the "allow" button these apps have full control over your photo gallery and other media.

If you've ever been really sad, you might have been grieving. You may grieve because your dog died or because you had to say good-bye to someone you loved a lot. Grieving is OK, though, because it means that you really cared about something. And after a while, you should be ready to feel happy again.

Francesco Petrarch
Salvatore Quasimodo was an Italian poet, author, critic and translator. He was considered as one of the leading Italian poets of the twentieth century. From being an adherent of the Hermetic poets like Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti, he eventually emerged as one of the leaders of the Hermetic movement. His works during this period include 'Acque e terre' (1930), 'Oboe sommerso' (1932), 'Odore di eucalyptus' (1933), 'Erato e Apollion' (1936), 'Poesie' (1938) and 'Ed è subito sera' (1942). He chaired the Italian literature at Milan's 'Guiseppe Verdi Conservatory' in 1941. Quasimodo faced confinement, although for a short while, at the time of the 'Second World War' due to his anti-Fascist leanings. His works of poetry in 'Nuove poesie' (1942) gives an inkling of his works post the 'Second World War' which reflects understanding of social scenario, challenges, grievances and hope of a common man. Soon he emerged as an eminent poet on contemporary history and social issues. His works during this period include 'Giorno dopo giorno' (1947), 'La vita non é sogno' (1949), 'Il falso e vero verde' (1956), and 'La terra impareggiabile' (1958). His outstanding body of works earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1959. He received 'honoris causa' degree from the 'University of Messina' in 1960 and that from the 'University of Oxford' in 1967.

He was born on August 20, 1901, in Modica, Sicily to Gaetano Quasimodo and Clotilde Ragusa. His father was a railroad employee.
His family relocated to Messina in 1908, where his father was delegated to help people hit due to a catastrophic earthquake.
He joined the 'Institute of Mathematics and Physical Palermo Technical' in 1916.
His first poems were published in 'Nuovo giornale letterario', a monthly journal, though short-lived, founded by him in 1917.
He completed his graduation from the Technical College of Messina in 1919 and then moved to Rome to complete his education in engineering at the 'Politecnico' there, but had to drop out due to financial constraints. He also studied Greek and Latin.
He took up odd jobs like working in a departmental store and as a technical draftsperson in a construction company.

He relocated to Florence in 1929 after accepting an invitation from his brother-in-law and writer Elio Vittorini. Vittorini introduced him to poets like Arturo Loria, Eugenio Montale, Alessandro Bonsanti and Gianna Manzini. Eventually he became an adherent of the Hermetic movement.
In 1930 he was appointed by the 'Civil Engineering Corps' and was posted in Reggio Calabria in southern Italy. The same year he published three of his poems 'Tree', 'First Time' and 'Angels' in 'Solaria' magazine.
Thereafter in 1930 itself he came out with his first collection of poems, 'Acque e terre' ('Waters and Earths'), which was published for 'Solaria' editions. The collection was based on the theme of Sicily, his native place that he left years ago.
He relocated to Imperia in 1931 and thereafter to Genoa. In Genoa he met several personalities of 'Circoli' magazine including Camillo Sbarbaro.
His successful alliance with 'Circoli' magazine saw him publish his second collection of poems, 'Oboe sommerso' ('Sunken Oboe') with them in 1932. He is seen as a more matured poet and the poems stand out for their rhythmic synchronisation of words encompassing a lyrical core.
He shifted to Milan in 1934 and gave up his job in 1938 and started concentrating fully on his writings. He worked for the Hermetic movement's official review, 'Letteratura' and also worked with Cesare Zavattini, an Italian screenwriter and an advocate of the Neorealist movement in Italian cinema.
He became the editor of 'Tempo', a weekly magazine in 1938. His other Hermetic works include 'Odore di eucalyptus' ('Scent of Eucalyptus ') in 1933, 'Erato e Apollion' in 1936, 'Poesie' in 1938 and 'Ed è subito sera' ('And Suddenly It's Evening') in 1942.
In 1941 he took the chair of Italian literature at Milan's 'Guiseppe Verdi Conservatory'.
Even though he was candid about his anti-Fascist views, he chose to refrain from participating in the Italian resistance during the 'Second World War'.
His work in 'Nuove poesie' (1942) reflected an impact of the classical stylistics and social surroundings that hinted on the themes of his future works post the 'Second World War'. His writings encompassed comprehension of the social scenario, hardships, resentments and aspirations of commoners.
He became an 'Italian Communist Party' member in 1945.
His works post 'Second World War' include 'Giorno dopo giorno' ('Day After Day') in 1947, 'La vita non é sogno' ('Life Is Not a Dream') in 1949, 'Il falso e vero verde' ('The False and True Green') in 1956, and 'La terra impareggiabile' (The Incomparable Land') in1958. All these collections reflected Quasimodo's ethical and moralistic perception as well as critical views towards the society.
Some of his translation works include 'Greek lyrics' translation (1940), 'The Gospel according to John' (1945), 'Odyssey' (1946), 'Oedipus the King' (1947) and 'Songs of Catullus' (1955).
Two anthologies of Italian poems edited by Quasimodo include 'Italian opera of love, from its origins to the present day' (1957) and 'Italian poetry of the post-war period' (1958).
The last stage of his life saw him visiting America and Europe a number of times delivering lectures and speeches on his poems that were already translated in various other languages.
In 1959 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
He married Bice Donetti In 1926. Donetti died in 1948. He later married a renowned Italian dancer.
In 1935 a daughter was born to him outside his marriage.
On June 14, 1968, he died of cerebral haemorrhage in a hospital in Naples. He was buried in Milan at the 'Cimitero Monumentale'.

Were You A Chesterfield 'Dirty Stop Out' In the '80s?
Tuesday 23rd July 2013
A book that has already successfully reunited hundreds of old friends and amassed over 2,500 followers on Facebook goes on sale this week.
As we reported previously HERE, the 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1980s Chesterfield' has been put together by local author Neil Anderson, (left) a former Manor School and Chesterfield School pupil who grew up in the town in the era.
Interest in his project quickly snowballed after he launched a Facebook group so people could share photos and memories.
Neil Anderson said: "I have to thank the thousands of people that have got involved. I was amazed how many places I'd forgotten about and their help has been invaluable!
"It has been a great project so far and early reactions to the book have been phenomenal. I'm also looking forward to meeting old friends from the era at the reunion we're organising in September at the Winding Wheel."
Chesterfield was arguably at its most vocal in the 1980s and even claimed its own piece of Top Twenty action in the shape of the Thompson Twins.
The ABC Cinema shows Disney's 'Return to Oz' with Mel Gibson's 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome' on the way!
Unemployment might have been sky high - and the Miners' Strike splitting entire communities - but the town proved it could all rally round for the visit of Charles and Di in 1981.

Chesterfield pub landlords might have had to call time at 11pm but there was always the Aquarius or Moulin Rouge to keep you occupied until shutdown time at 2am - and the dulcet tones of Brian The Singing Miner proved true local talent could always shine through without the need for the 'X Factor'.
From the first faltering steps on the dance floor of the legendary Grammar Disco, it was all downhill via the perilous Adam & Eve; the subterranean Fascination or the infamous Painted Wagon (below).
The 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1980s Chesterfield' has been published in partnership with the Derbyshire Times and is available to purchase from the newspaper's office and all good bookshops.
A massive '80s reunion is set to take place at the Winding Wheel on Saturday, September 14th, to celebrate the book's launch and raise funds for Ashgate Hospice. DJs, guests and more are being lined up. Tickets are £7 and available from www.chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk

Fisher, Christine M.; Price, James H.; Telljohann, Susan K.; Dake, Joseph A.
Background: Across the United States, school health education programs provide a wide variety of knowledge and skills to their students. There are currently no guidelines for school health methods courses. Methods: Using a 2-wave mailing followed by a third wave e-mail reminder, a final population of 226 university school health methods instructors at school health preparation programs were surveyed. Results: A total of 138 completed surveys (61%) were returned. The topics taught in school health education methods courses emphasized the most included aligning objectives, instruction, and assessment (79%); development of lesson plans (73%); teaching methods that engage learners (72%); and application of the National Health Education Standards and performance indicators (69%). The content taught and how the instructors assessed their students differed statistically by 1 or more of the following: whether they had a health education degree, had experience teaching in the public schools, and if their program was accredited. Conclusions: This study provides information regarding what school health methods instructors across the United States are teaching in their classes. Using this information as a baseline can serve as a guide for preservice faculty teaching a school health methods course.

40 Greatest Stories
The Death of a Poet
Young Judith McPheron, fuller of life than most, faces the end.
By Michael Berryhill Published in D Magazine November 1981
"Help me, I can't say the light I need to travel by"
–Judith McPheron (1946-1981)
Discovery: Oklahoma City, Spring 1976
While bending down to light the gas in the fireplace, Judith McPheron feels a lump behind her right knee. The doctor tells her it is a Baker's cyst and that it has to come out.
"Yep, that's a beauty," says the doctor, looking at her legs. "You must be quite athletic. What sports do you play?"
"Athletic? I was always the last one left when the volleyball team captains chose sides."
"Well, you must get around a lot or something. Here's the name of a surgeon. I think you'll like him, okay?"
Click for more about this remarkable story.
The surgeon, too, wonders what sports Judith plays. The cyst is the biggest he has ever seen, he says. It doesn't hurt when he prods with his fingers. Fun to take it out, he pronounces.
Judith and her husband travel to St. Anthony's hospital for the surgery in June. The nurse's aides elbow one another at the sight of Judith's stack of books.
"It looks like we got a perfessah here," one of them says.
She sits down on the bed, overcome by the smell. A man walks by on the roof of the next building outside. She tries to concentrate on the theory of surplus value, but the words dissolve into hieroglyphs.
They take her down to the basement and roll her around on the X-ray table, trying to get a good shot of her cyst. They draw purple lines around it and inject it, but the cyst, it seems, is unphotogenic. When the surgeon lopes in, she starts to cry.
"What's wrong? Are they hurting you?"
"No, it's just institutional alienation," she says.
"Well, that's the damnedest cyst. Won't light up. Might be a fatty tumor. Benign of course. I'm sure you've thought of that."
"No, I hadn't."
When Judith wakes up the next afternoon, the leg is huge and white in its plaster cast. A nurse's aide is standing at the foot of her bed telling her that she feels bad.
"Go home, then," Judith says, and falls asleep.
When she awakes again, her husband is there. The "cyst" is a malignant tumor. At worst, it would be off with the leg, but probably just cutting away more of the tissue where the tumor had been is all that will be needed.
"Okay," she says. "I'll stump around like Captain Ahab and disturb all the people reading in the library. Will you buy me a hand-carved wooden leg?"
Groggy from the anesthetic, she falls asleep again. Screaming awakens her. She clamps her hands over her mouth in case it is her own screaming, but it is not. She wishes she could get up. Look what they can do to you if you weaken, she thinks. If you let them. The stern voices of nurses come from the hallway. Suffering turns the nurses' voices gritty with hatred and disgust. The screaming dies down to a little-girl whimper.
Later that morning the surgeon lopes in again.
"Are you a librarian?"
"Well, it's a malignant tumor."
"Aren't you supposed to hold my hand, or something? How malignant?"
"I don't know. The lab will know more tomorrow, but you'll need more surgery."
"Chop off the leg?"
"Maybe not, maybe so."
"Can I go back to work?"
"Sure. Now, listen, I'm sure it hasn't spread."
"How are you sure?"
"Well, that's fair. I don't blame you if you don't trust me. I said before that I was sure it was just a fatty tumor. But this kind, well, it moves very slowly. You'll be fine."
"Mind telling me the name?"
"Liposarcoma. Can I do anything for you?"
"Get me out of here."
"Sure, just want a chest X-ray first. Just relax. I'll get you some tranquilizers."
Judith feels her stomach closing like a drawbridge. They take her to the X-ray room in a wheelchair. By the time the fourth person asks how she has broken her leg, she has an answer.
"Ice skating," she says.
Wearing her only skirt over the cast, Judith receives her friends from the library at home. They bring her food, wine, and snapdragons. She laughs and talks and pretends she is royalty, while pushing the terror down.
The cast is so big she can barely get it into the bathroom. To pee she has to prop the leg up on the garbage pail, but still she wets herself and the floor. She decides to stop drinking coffee.
As long as she is not alone, she thinks, nothing can happen to her.
She wakes up on the couch, groggy, the leg hurting, and calls for her husband. No answer. She calls louder.
She drags herself, step by small step, to the back door. The car is gone. She is soaking with sweat. She drags herself back to the bed and sobs.
A minute later her husband is running through the back doorway, apologizing, crying, smoothing her skirt. He had thought she would sleep on, and he had gone to the hospital for some medical records.
She makes him promise never to leave her alone again, and laughs at herself for not being brave.
The doctor tells Judith she has half a chance. The survival rate from liposarcoma after five years is 50 percent. The doctor tells Judith's husband that he has never seen anyone take it like she has. He thinks she must have one hell of a strong personality. Her husband tells her she is inordinately proud and mad at herself at the same time. Judith wonders why she should be studying to be a prizefighter of the psyche. It just lets the doctor off easy.
Liposarcoma, she later discovers in her research at the library, is one of the rarest forms of cancer. Less than 2 percent of malignant tumors are in the soft tissues, and only a small percentage of those are liposarcomas. They can occur in any part of the body where there is fatty tissue, which means just about anywhere. This cancer strikes at any age, but most often between 40 and 60. Judith is 30 years old.
She is sunny, chirpy, resolutely normal. Her friends' relief at this is almost physical. She tells her brother that if he is going to act weepy, he'll have to stand in the backyard and sing "Cherry-Ripe" with his hands on his head. Somewhere, something is resolutely hiding that will split everything apart, she thinks, as she smiles.
She has been writing poetry, and the first of six poems on cancer emerges:
Is cancer a
violent revolution or
the ebbing of the tide
I wonder as I stare
at the acoustical-tiled ceiling
trying to erase
the insistent pattern there.
Blood or salty water
my bones reply.
They drive to New Mexico, where Judith's father-in-law, a radiologist, has brought in a specialist friend from Houston. They fill the little car with books and papers and create a platform in the front on which Judith can rest the cast. They stay off the interstate and drive through the bright Texas sun. Judith's husband ticks off the names of wildflowers as they pass. In Lubbock they see a perfect double rainbow in a slate gray sky. It is an omen, they say, a good omen.

List of cable and satellite providers airing WrestleMania 35 on traditional PPV
While WrestleMania will air on the WWE Network as part of your $9.99 monthly subscription or free if you're a first-time subscriber, there are still thousands of people who opt to get it through the "old fashioned" pay-per-view way.
Maybe it's because there's not high-speed internet at their location or simply because they don't want to subscribe to the WWE Network. Thankfully for them, several providers still offer WrestleMania on the traditional pay-per-view format.
In the United States, cable and satellite providers which will be offering WrestleMania on PPV tomorrow include Cable One, Cox Communications, DISH, inDemand, Knology, Mediacom, Cablevision, RCN, Spectrum, Suddenlink, Verizon FiOS TV, and Comcast Xfinity.
DirecTV, which has officially told us that they will not carry the show, has the WrestleMania entry on their PPV ordering screen so it looks like they will be offering it after all.
In the UK, Italy, and Germany, Sky will carry the show. Canada will have it on Bell TV, SaskTel, Shaw, and Viewers Choice. Foxtel and Optus will show WrestleMania on PPV in Australia while Ten Sports will show it in India.
Otherwise, simply head to http://w-o.it/wwentwrk to activate your 30-day free trial and get WrestleMania for free!

Public Knowledge legal director Harold Feld says, in a statement, that Congress should start from scratch on anti-piracy legislation to replace a now-stalled pair of bills in the Senate and House. Earlier today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that Senate legislation would be delayed, and Rep. Lamar Smith, Republican of Texas, House Judiciary Committee chairman and the key sponsor of related House legislation, also agreed to postpone movement on his bill, too. House Speaker John Boehner had previously called for "consensus" on the bill before bringing it to the floor.
"Now that the current bills have been dropped in both the Senate and House, Congress should start from scratch to determine the nature of the problem. No one has been able to figure out how the media companies calculated their supposed losses of jobs and income. If Congress goes ahead with legislation, it should hear widely from those concerned about the pending legislation – from Internet technologists, from law professors, artists, venture capitalists, startup entrepreneurs, human rights activists, consumers and even public interest groups and the public. Only then will legislation be truly accepted and truly be effective."

Viva Forever! – review

At the end of the premiere of Viva Forever!, all five Spice Girls lined up on stage. Emma (wearing long lace) and Mel C (twisty tweed) did nothing in particular. Mel B, sprayed in sparkles, straddled her legs and said "fuck". A surprisingly dowdy Posh Spice stood apart, nervously balancing her jacket on her shoulders, as though waiting in line to be bullied. And Geri, wearing the kind of sugar plum frock a three-year-old would choose for a fairy party, grabbed the mic and burbled like a three-year-old sugar plum fairy at a party. I've seen more natural-born stars flogging bubble guns at Hamleys.
But then that was the point of the Spice Girls – their ordinariness. Almost every small girl goes through a jazz hands stage, when all she wants to do is put on performances and formation dance in a frou-frou frock. The Spice Girls just never grew out of it. You could argue that they ushered in the current Saturday-night telly talent show era, given that they were managed by Simon Fuller, who invented the first version, Pop Idol. Also because they were living proof that the required X-factor is not the heart-stopping talent of Beyoncé or Janelle Monáe, nor even the upstart revolution of Plan B or Dizzee, but the ditsy ebullience of a trier. If that shower can make it, so can we all! We just have to believe!
An X Factor-type programme forms the basis of Viva Forever!, the new musical based on the pop hits of the Spice Girls. Written by Jennifer Saunders and produced by Judy Craymer, who was behind the smash Abba show Mamma Mia!, it's aimed at the late 20s/early 30s woman who was a fan of the Spices in her teens. The story goes like this: Viva, who's in a four-girl singing group called Eternity, gets through to the end stages of TV talent show Starseekers. Her mentor/judge, Simone, forces her, live on air, to go solo, and later to reveal to the press that she's adopted, for a good backstory. Will Viva find her real mother? Or will she come to appreciate her adopted mother, Lauren, and her Eternity friends? There's a teeny, tiny spark of a romance, which feels shovelled in as a last resort. But that's it really.
Saunders has written some nice lines – "You're in Vera Wang. You're wearing a Wang" – and several of the songs are better than you remember, especially Spice Up Your Life. Simone is portrayed with funny force by Sally Dexter. But if on TV the X Factor format feels tired, on stage it's not even twitching. There is no more to say about such shows. They're exploitative and demeaning, they teach people that celebrity is more important than integrity... Tell it to the pope. Apparently he's not a Protestant.
The other story arc – that Viva is adopted – splutters to a halt. Everything is set up for it to be Simone: Mama sung by Viva, Lauren and Simone in the first half shouts the plot point up to the balcony. But instead the door pulls back to reveal Minty, Simone's Bubbles-type assistant, saying lamely: "Oh I Googled and Googled but couldn't find her." This means that Simone's big emotional moment in Act 2, singing I Turn to You to Viva, means… nothing at all. Very strange.
Oh dear, there is very little to recommend this show. The songs are murdered, either by the set-up – a discussion about middle-aged pubic hair leads, astonishingly, into Too Much – or the arrangement. There are some sparky performances from Hatty Preston as Minty and Tamara Wall as bimbo judge Karen, and a nice scene between Lauren and Mitch, her hopeful lover. It's clear that everyone involved wants this to be a women-affirming show: there are very few male parts and they're all cyphers. But, sadly, so are all the female parts. Viva and her friends are bland and indistinguishable; everyone else is a cliche. There's not much cockle-warming, despite the performers' best efforts. There is some glitz. But it says something when you find yourself scanning the audience for entertainment (there's Cilla! And Michael Caine!); when the most riveting plot point of the evening is whether or not Posh Spice will ever acknowledge the rest of her old band.
Still. What do I know? I gave my spare ticket to Lorraine, a fan who'd travelled over especially from Ireland to wave at her idols from behind a barrier. She fell in love with the Spice Girls when she was 11 years old. And she absolutely adored the whole thing; so there.

"Mr Henderson" is getting quite a few mentions on cybersapce at the minute. It may be possible you do not know who "Mr Henderson" is, so I will take the time to enlighten you.
He is the archetypal "elite British establishment figure." In many instances these characters are passed off as "Diplomats." Much effort is made in giving them a seemingly respectable outward appearance, simply because in reality they are the absolute scum of the earth.
If you take the time to peruse the twitter-shpere about "Mr Henderson" at this link, there is another little matter you may wish to contemplate when you have time.
Now ask yourself this, if you had the capacity to inflict the carnage I have briefly outlined, would you waste your time blowing up innocent civilians on a tube train in London or shooting up a "cartoonists" office in Paris? It does not make sense?
"REAL Terrorists" who are willing to suicide themselves, would be picking REAL targets like "Mr Henderson" or Prime Ministers, or Cabinet Ministers, or Army Generals, or high-ranking Police Officers, or very high-profile "Politicians" who seem to take a staunch stand against Islam.
Here is an example. The guy in the picture below is one "high-profile" politician who was seemingly murdered by "terrorists." His name is Rehavam Zeevi, he was murdered in a Jerusalem hotel in 2001.
Why did they murder him only in 2001 and not sometime before? Why murder him at all?
Well, this is what I have been informed is the real story behind the murder. Zeevi had been controversial for years but there was no attempt to murder him. Apparently the situation changed when Zeevi made it known to some people he was going to hold a public press conference and expose the truth about the murder of Yitzak Rabin. He was going to expose Simon Peres was the real murderer of Rabin and if you have even a small percentage of brain cells you will already know Simon Peres has been a Vatican agent for decades.
If my memory serves me correctly, Zeevi was murdered by "terrorists" within 24 hours of making his intentions known about the proposed press conference.
So, you can see how "terrorists" can be convenient tools when they are controlled by very, very, malevolent individuals like "Mr Henderson" and his ilk.
Here is another character who the UK public are supposed to believe was just pervy "showbiz personality" who had absolutely nothing to do with the "British" intelligence services and who was definitely not supplying young kids to people in order to compromise them and blackmail them?
Saville did not get a "Papal Knighthood" for being a nice guy and raising money for charity, you can be sure of that.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL?

Pseudoglyptodon chilensis is een fossiele verwant van de luiaards die gevonden is in het Tinguirirican (Paleogeen) van de Tinguiririca-vallei in de Cordillera Principal van de Chileense Andes. Waarschijnlijk komt de soort ongeveer uit de overgang tussen Eoceen en Oligoceen. P. chilensis is bekend van een beschadigde schedel met onderkaak en wat beschadigde schedelfragmenten. Deze soort verschilt van andere soorten in een aantal kenmerken: hij is groter, heeft dunnere tanden en minder hoekige knobbels op de kiezen. De ontdekking van deze soort leidde onderzoekers naar de conclusie dat het geslacht Pseudoglyptodon de nauwste verwant van de luiaards is, en afhankelijk van de definitie van het woord "luiaard" zelfs tot de luiaards zou kunnen worden gerekend.

Q: How to setup correct type in typescript abstract class? I have problem with setting correct type in abstract class. I would like to do something like this:
abstract class AbstractMap<TTile extends AbstractTile> {
  public readonly fields: TTile[];

  constructor() {
    this.fields = [this.createTile(0,0), this.createTile(0,1)];
  }

  protected abstract createTile(x: number, y: number): TTile;
}

abstract class AbstractTile {
  protected abstract readonly map: AbstractMap<this>;

  protected constructor(public readonly x: number, public readonly y: number) {
  }

  public get neighbors(): this[] {
    return this.map.fields.filter(f => f);
  }
}

class ServerMap extends AbstractMap<ServerTile> {
  protected createTile(x: number, y: number): ServerTile {
    return new ServerTile(x, y, this);
  }
}

class ServerTile extends AbstractTile {
  protected readonly map: ServerMap;

  constructor(x: number, y: number, map: ServerMap) {
    super(x, y);
    this.map = map;
  }
}

I'm trying to get ServerMap type on ServerTile.map property, but all the time I have an error:
   Type 'ServerMap' is not assignable to type 'AbstractMap<this>'.
     Types of property 'fields' are incompatible.
       Type 'ServerTile[]' is not assignable to type 'this[]'.
         Type 'ServerTile' is not assignable to type 'this'.
           'ServerTile' is assignable to the constraint of type 'this', but 'this' could be instantiated with a different subtype of constraint 'ServerTile'.

I tried to set AbstractMap<AbstractTile> instead of AbstractMap<this> in AbstractTile class but then I need to set AbstractTile[] return type on AbstractTile.neighbors function.

A: The polymorphic this type is an implicitly F-bounded type.  It acts like a generic type parameter which is constrained to the current type.  And like generics, it is easier to specify the type argument than it is to write code that treats it as an unresolved parameter.  Inside the class bodies of AbstractTile and its descendant classes, we only know that this will be some subtype of the current class.  But we don't know which one.  And that means a lot of code you write could turn out to be technically unsafe in the presence of unanticipated subclasses.  For example, with your code, someone could write:
class Oops extends ServerTile { prop = "oops" }

const oopses = new Oops(1, 2, new ServerMap()).neighbors;
// const oopses: Oops[]

The compiler believes that oopses is of type Oops[] because that's the supposed type of neighbors.  But your implementation of ServerMap doesn't work that way, and so you get a runtime error if you continue:
oopses.forEach(o => o.prop.toUpperCase()) // compiles okay, but
//  RUNTIME ERROR! o.prop is undefined

So the error message the compiler gives you, that 'ServerTile' is assignable to the constraint of type 'this', but 'this' could be instantiated with a different subtype of constraint 'ServerTile' is telling you exactly what the problem is.

Of course you might decide that such things are unlikely to happen and you want to just use a this type anyway.  That is your prerogative, and you can just assert to the compiler that it isn't a problem:
class ServerTile extends AbstractTile {
  protected readonly map: AbstractMap<this>;
  constructor(x: number, y: number, map: ServerMap) {
    super(x, y);
    // assert
    this.map = map as AbstractMap<AbstractTile> as AbstractMap<this>;
  }
}

This suppresses the compiler error, and it's now your responsibility to make sure that ServerMap behaves like AbstractMap<this> for all the this types you will encounter.

If you really care about trying to write this in a more verifiably type-safe way, you can trade the implicit F-bounded type parameter this type for an explicit F-bounded type parameter T.  Something of the form T extends F<T>.  In your case that's class AbstractTile<T extends AbstractTile<T>>:
abstract class AbstractMap<T extends AbstractTile<T>> {
  public readonly fields: T[];

  constructor() {
    this.fields = [this.createTile(0, 0), this.createTile(0, 1)];
  }

  protected abstract createTile(x: number, y: number): T;
}

abstract class AbstractTile<T extends AbstractTile<T>> {
  protected abstract readonly map: AbstractMap<T>;

  protected constructor(public readonly x: number, public readonly y: number) {
  }

  public get neighbors(): T[] {
    return this.map.fields.filter(f => f);
  }
}

And now you can write ServerMap and ServerTile as follows:
class ServerMap extends AbstractMap<ServerTile> {
  protected createTile(x: number, y: number): ServerTile {
    return new ServerTile(x, y, this);
  }
}

class ServerTile extends AbstractTile<ServerTile> {
  protected readonly map: ServerMap;

  constructor(x: number, y: number, map: ServerMap) {
    super(x, y);
    this.map = map;
  }
}

All of that compiles as desired.  And the failure mode from before is no longer possible, because now the neighbors property is of type ServerTile[] and not of type Oops[]:
class Oops extends ServerTile { prop = "oops" }

const oopses = new Oops(1, 2, new ServerMap()).neighbors;
// const oopses: ServerTile[]

So if you try to reference the prop property of oopses[0], the compiler will complain.

Arthur Drummond was born in Bristol in 1871; the son of John Drummond, a maritime artist. Arthur enjoyed an early exposure to painting and received the encouragement and support of his family. It appears that he received additional training both in Paris and in London. While in France he studied with both Constant and Laurens - learning the ways of the Academic artists. In London he studied with Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema - the important British Neo-Classical artist; from whom Drummond would draw his greatest influence.
By 1890 Drummond was living at 41, Walterton Road, St. Peter's Park and exhibited his first work at the Royal Academy: A Minstrel. He would continue to exhibit works at the RA until 1901; specializing in history/genre scenes and like Alma-Tadema, many of which are set in ancient Egypt, Greece or Rome.
During his career, Drummond exhibited works at the Royal Academy; Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham; and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.

LARGE QUANTITY OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND MARIJUANA SEIZED; PAROLEE IN CUSTODY
Bobby Joe Gray
On Thursday, September 8, 2022 at approximately 4:00 PM, Baxter County Sheriff's Investigators were summoned to a private residence at 5300 State Hwy 126 near Midway by Parole Officers with Arkansas Community Corrections (AAC) to assist with a home visit of one of their parolees, 34 year old BOBBY JOE GRAY.
It was reported that GRAY was refusing to open the door for the Parole Officers. After Sheriff's Investigators arrived to assist, verbal contact was made with GRAY. He eventually ran out of the back door of the residence, but was quickly apprehended by officers.
A search of the residence uncovered a very large quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana, as well as various articles of drug paraphernalia and a handgun. Officers seized approximately 10.7 pounds of methamphetamine, approximately 17.6 pounds of marijuana, approximately 1 gram of fentanyl, and approximately 100 THC concentrated vape cartridges, all of which were taken into evidence. The seized drugs have an approximately street value of $586,000. In addition, officers seized $5,020.00 in cash, a transaction ledger, scales, and a Glock Model 19 handgun. Officers also seized two 4 x 4 motor vehicles belonging to GRAY, for which forfeiture paperwork will be filed with the court.
Available documentation indicates that BOBBY GRAY was incarcerated in the Arkansas Department of Corrections in May, 2017 on felony convictions for drug offenses in Independence County and Jackson County. GRAY was later allowed to participate in the re-entry program that is set up in Flippin, Arkansas. BOBBY GRAY was granted parole from the Arkansas Department of Corrections in May, 2022 and transferred to the supervision of AAC.
BOBBY GRAY was subsequently transported to the Baxter County Detention Center where he has been booked on charges of:
Trafficking a Controlled Substance - Felony
Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms - Felony
Possession of Schedule VI Controlled Substance with Purpose of Delivery - Felony
Habitual Criminal Act - Penalty Enhancement
GRAY remains incarcerated in lieu of $500,000 bond on the new charges, and is being held without bond for the parole violation. He will appear before the Baxter County Circuit Court to answer on September 19th.
Agencies participating in the arrest and search were the Baxter County Sheriff's Office, Arkansas Community Corrections, and the 14th Judicial District Drug Task Force.

150 years of the brown trout
From Nine To Noon, 9:44 am on 10 October 2017
The brown trout was introduced to New Zealand 150 years ago today, but the freshwater 'sports fish' almost didn't make it here.

Listen to Jack Kos on Nine to Noon
Dunedin-based historian Jack Kos has just finished a PhD on the introduction of the brown trout and says
The brown trout came to New Zealand via Tasmania as part of the drive by colonial acclimatisation societies to make countries such as New Zealand feel more like home.
"Species that were considered desirous were brought over to fill perceived ecological gaps in new countries. The colonists erroneously thought New Zealand's rivers were barren and there were very few fish they could relate to.
"This created this perception of a need to replace [the native fish] or to bring fish that were useful and that they would enjoy having here."
Out of the 800 or so brown trout eggs brought from Tasmania, few survived.
"They had a really rough sailing and three of those eggs hatched and then two subsequently escaped, at one point there was just one brown trout in New Zealand but rather remarkably the two fish that escaped managed to wriggle their way into the Avon River in Christchurch and from there two years later they were able to be recaptured."
The acclimatisation crew didn't rely on the tenacity of those early trout settlers, however.
"Huge numbers" were introduced from about 1868 onwards, Kos says.
As to the impact the trout had on New Zealand's waterways, it's a mixed picture.
"I don't think there's any doubt they predate on native species; no indigenous species has been rendered extinct by trout, but there has been a lot of displacement, so more than an eradication there's been a reduction."
Though there have been positive ecological outcomes since the fish took hold, he says.
"You could make a case that trout have had a positive impact on New Zealand waterways, they have provided an avenue for advocacy - Fish and Game has secured numerous water conservation orders. They're also quite a good keystone indicator of the health of a waterway."
