While Rick is the first to admit that running a goat depot is not easy, he believes the financial rewards are worth the risks involved.
Labour – Physically, the goat depot is very labour intensive. Rick and Jo employ two full-time staff and one casual staff member to assist with the operation of the depot.
Financial – It is costly to establish a successful large-scale depot; however, there are financial rewards.
Risks – The main risk associated with a goat depot is overstocking. Rick mitigates this by pre-emptively marketing his goats which he believes is vital to a successful depot operation. This means that Rick will usually have customers ready to take the goats before they are delivered to the depot for drafting.
Given the nature of the Burndoo country and the potential profitability of Dorper sheep, the Gates did consider breeding Dorpers. They decided, however, that the cost of ewes at $200-$250 per head, compared with small goats at $10 per head, was prohibitive.
While the Gates admit their depot operation is labour intensive and time critical, it is profitable and suited to their country.
Yards – The Gates have four sets of well constructed and maintained yards.
Trucks – Two on-farm trucks are regularly used for shifting goats.
Roads – Well maintained and upgraded roads are critical to the success of the depot, with an average of three to four B-Doubles loading around 3,000 goats weekly. Following heavy rains in a wet year, it is not uncommon to have to spend in the order of $20,000 on road maintenance.
To be successful, a goat depot requires a significant investment in time and money. If you are going to run a profitable depot it is important to establish and operate it without cutting corners.
The profitability of a goat depot relies to a large extent on the suppliers of the goats. Rick explains that if you are not the easy alternative and front-of-mind for suppliers then they will sell their goats elsewhere and you will miss the opportunity.
Running a goat depot requires a significant investment in time and money.
Location, location, location. Goat throughput is critical to the successful operation of a depot. Goats need to be able to be sourced and then delivered on time and according to specification. The depot should be located to maximise throughput.

Creativity flourishes in Writers Block Garden
By Jennifer Greenstein Altmann
Princeton NJ -- An empty lot in the borough of Princeton has been transformed into a stunning garden filled with inventive structures that pay tribute to several University professors.
Structures in the downtown Writers Block Garden pay tribute to several Princeton faculty members, including, from front to back, Cornel West, Paul Krugman and Paul Muldoon.
The Writers Block Garden is the brainchild of landscape architect Peter Soderman who, while walking by the site one day, lamented the fact that it had been empty for eight years.
As he dreamed about transforming the space into a garden, he thought of the preponderance of writers and architects who live in Princeton and an idea was born: "Let's bring the architectural community and the writer's community together, stir up a serendipitous pot and see what develops," Soderman said.
The lot on Paul Robeson Place, between Chambers and Witherspoon streets, now has structures dedicated to Princeton professors Paul Krugman, James McPherson, Paul Muldoon, Joyce Carol Oates, Paul Sigmund, Peter Singer and Cornel West.
"The Writers Block Garden is a wonderfully imaginative, if not unique addition to Princeton," said Oates.
There also are tributes to Peter Benchley, Fran Lebowitz, Emily Mann and Pablo Neruda. Each writer collaborated with an architect or team of architects to create the pavilions. Many of the architects involved have connections with Princeton's School of Architecture as alumni or faculty members.
The structure in honor of Muldoon is a small wooden pavilion with benches inside it and a facade of interchangeable wall panels that have different degrees of opacity. The entire structure can be easily rotated.
"It's fantastic," Muldoon said. "One of my favorite garden sheds was George Bernard Shaw's. His main interest was to have a rotating shed, and his was set around an old pipe. As the day progressed he could move it around with the sun. He did most of his writing in the shed."
The architects, Princeton alumni Juliet Richardson and Terence Smith, were inspired by Muldoon's view of poetry "as a combination of chemistry and physics."
"The world of architecture and poetry is ever changing — each encounter a reinvention, deriving its meaning from the unique experiences of the inhabitant/reader, the hour of witness, the season, the time of day," the architects wrote on a plaque explaining their project.
"People tend to forget that poems are structures themselves," Muldoon said. "That's all the word 'poem' means — a 'made' thing. I'm always interested in anything that reminds people of that," Muldoon said.
The pavilion honoring Krugman, a professor of economics and international affairs who writes a regular column for The New York Times, is a pyramid made of cedar trunks and oak timbers with a glass eye perched on top, mimicking the design on the back of a dollar bill. The hut dedicated to McPherson, a Civil War scholar, has the image of a flag on the wooden floor. The columns on the south side have speakers playing "Dixie" while those on the north play a rap song.
The garden is serving as a place for contemplation and exploration as well as a gathering spot for community events.
"I think it's very important that writers and other artists have an interest in the community they live in and work out of," Muldoon said.
The garden will exist until Oct. 31, when it will be dismantled to make way for the construction of townhouses. The structures will be auctioned off, with the proceeds (after expenses) going to charity.

Q: How to speed up this vb code in Excel I am using the following code in an Excel sheet for calculation. Unfortunately it is taking too much time to calculate and the page keeps flickering.
    Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    BeginRow = 1
    EndRow = 300
    ChkCol = 3

     For RowCnt = BeginRow To EndRow
     If Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).Value = "B" Then
     Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True
     Else
     Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = False
     End If
     Next RowCnt
     End Sub

It is for an attendance management software and there are 4 sheets. I am using this code for all sheets except in Sheet1. Master data is entered in sheet1.
Please help me to speed up this process.

A: I agree with @BK201 that you can also use autofilter. Here is another faster method. I say faster because it doesn't show/hide the rows in a loop. Additionally you can sandwhich your code between Application.ScreenUpdating = false and Application.ScreenUpdating = true to stop the flickering as @KazJaw suggested.
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    Dim BeginRow As Long, EndRow As Long
    Dim ChkCol As Long, RowCnt As Long
    Dim rngHide As Range

    BeginRow = 1: EndRow = 300: ChkCol = 3

    '~~> Unhide all the rows
    Rows("1:300").EntireRow.Hidden = False

    '~~> Loop through the rows and identify which rows needs to be hidden
    For RowCnt = BeginRow To EndRow
        If Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).Value = "B" Then
            If rngHide Is Nothing Then
                Set rngHide = Rows(RowCnt)
            Else
                Set rngHide = Union(rngHide, Rows(RowCnt))
            End If
        End If
    Next RowCnt

    '~~> Hide the rows  in one go
    If Not rngHide Is Nothing Then rngHide.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub

A: I just quickly looked at your problem. It seems hiding an entire row takes a lot of time. So you need to check that a row is not hidden already before you hide it. Or already showing if you want to unhide it. I think this code will fix the problem
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
BeginRow = 1
EndRow = 300
ChkCol = 3

 For RowCnt = BeginRow To EndRow
 If Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).Value = "B" Then
    If Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
    Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
 Else
    If Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True Then
    Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = False
    End If
 End If
 Next RowCnt
 End Sub

Your code also ran slowly on my computer but this code worked for me.

A: Constantly calling up Excel is expensive. Dumping the data you need to check into a variant array and working on that is much faster. Also as mentioned, you need to turn off screenupdating, otherwise calculations will be occuring left and right, speeding things down considerbaly.
Here's how to use a variant array in the context you are using (hide rows with "B" in column C, unhide if not "B"):
Sub improvedSpeed()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim varray() As Variant
Dim i As Long

varray() = Range("C1:C300").Value

For i = 1 To 300
    If varray(i, 1) = "B" Then
        Rows(i).Hidden = True
    Else
        Rows(i).Hidden = False
    End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Watch Will Ferrell Slay a Cowbell Duet With Chris Martin
There is only one cure for Chris Martin's fever... and it's more cowbell!
Kyle McCann
Frank Micelotta-PictureGroup-SIPA USA / Anthony Behar-SIPA USA
Will Ferrell is a stone-cold LEGEND!!! Not too many musicians can outshine Coldplay's Chris Martin live on stage. Of course, not too many musicians can rock a cowbell in front of thousands of screaming fans either.
Iconic comedian, Chad Smith look-alike, and all-around good guy Will Ferrell hosted a star-studded benefit concert over the weekend, called "Will Ferrell's Best Night of Your Life." And in true comedic genius fashion, Ferrell brought one of his most iconic SNL characters on stage during Chris Martin's set. The funnyman ran on stage during "Viva La Vida" to cure the fever! Check it out:
For those of you who may not remember, it was back in 2000 when Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken made "More Cowbell" famous during an SNL skit about an overly ambitious musician recording the Blue Öyster Cult hit "The Reaper."
The show benefited Cancer For College, which provides scholarships for college-bound students battling cancer, and also featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer, Jerry Seinfeld, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Jimmy Kimmel, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, and many more.


When it comes to easing stress and anxiety, aromatherapy is an effective remedy that has been practiced by civilizations for thousands of years. Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oil where the aromatic properties of the oil enhance the mind and body.
Different types of essential oil provide therapeutic effects of their own. For relieving stress and anxiety, Frankincense essential oil has been proven to be highly effective. The calming and sedating scent of Frankincense is known to provide soothing to anxious minds.
The name Frankincense is derived from 'franc encens', which carries the meaning of 'pure incense' in French. It indicates the dried resin of the Frankincense tree that is native to the Middle East and Africa. Frankincense essential oil is derived from the dried Frankincense resin and carries a woody and earthy scent.
Frankincense Carteri (Boswellia Carteri) – This variant is great for protecting skin from the effects of aging and boosting respiratory system. Its earthy scent is also known for calming the mind effectively.
Frankincense Frereana (Boswellia Frereana) – Typically found at higher grounds, the Frankincense Frereana has superior anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that make it a great remedy for inflammatory issues like arthritis and allergies.
Frankincense Sacra (Boswellia Sacra) – Essential oil made from Frankincense Sacra gives off a strong earthy aroma that is typical of Frankincense. When used with citrus based oils, it produces great anti-microbial properties on top of its native anti-inflammatory effects.
Frankincense Serrata (Boswellia Serrata) – Arguably the oldest type of Frankincense known to human civilization, it carries a slightly sweet aroma that distinguishes itself from other variants of Frankincense. It is a powerful antiseptic and also popularly used for meditation.
You may know realized that there are different types of essential oil used in aromatherapy. Oils extracted from the dried resin of Frankincense is known for its effectiveness form relieving anxiety. It has been recorded that the burning of Frankincense during spiritual ceremonies have brought feelings of jubilation to practitioners.
While these claims are further enforced by modern society practicing aromatherapy, does Frankincense actually helps alleviate anxiety from the perception of science? A study was conducted by a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and Hebrew University in Jerusalem to investigate the relations of burning Frankincense with reducing anxiety and depression.
The study involves administering incensole acetate, an active compound in Frankincense, to mice. It was observed that the incensole acetate affects a part of the brain in the mice linked to emotions and part of nervous system that reacts to anxiety and depression medications.
Suggestions that Frankincense essential oil helps in reducing anxiety has been backed by scientific studies to a certain extent. Besides anxiety, are there more reasons to use Frankincense essential oil in aromatherapy?
It seems so. Here are other benefits of using Frankincense essential oil.
Improve Digestion – There are suggestions that frankincense helps alleviate digestive issues by increasing the secretion of gastric acids. It also promotes the peristalsis motion for a smoother food movement.
May Treat Cancer – Preliminary studies have linked Frankincense as a possible remedy that can help treat cancer. A study by that involves University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation Microarray Research Facility and Oklahoma City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, found that the presence of frankincense oil can help suppress the growth of bladder cancer cells.
Prevent Inflammatory Diseases – According to a scientific publication by the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tuebingen, boswellic acids that are present in Frankincense can decrease the production of leukotriene, a substance linked to inflammatory diseases.
Improve Wound Healing – Another research conducted by doTerra shows the capability of Frankincense essential oil in aiding wound healing and lessening the chance of forming a scar.
Frankincense oil is a versatile essential oil that has immense benefits when applied the right way. There are a few methods to use Frankincense essential oil to relieve anxiety or for general well-being.
Diffuser – One of the most popular methods is by adding a few drops of Frankincense essential oil to an aromatherapy diffuser. The earthy fragrance of the oil will disperse to each corner of your room and you'll benefit from inhaling the Frankincense droplets in the air.
Topical – Frankincense essential oil can also be added to an unscented carrier oil to be applied topically to the damaged skin.
Bath – You can dilute Frankincense essential oil in a bath to promote relaxation for mind and body.
Frankincense essential oil is considered to be generally safe in diluted form. Minor cases of skin irritation are reported from the use of Frankincense oil.
Before using Frankincense oil orally, it is best to check out the suggested dosage on the manufacturer's label. You should dilute Frankincense oil in other edible carrier oil before ingesting it. Avoid contact with sensitive areas like eyes and ear.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using Frankincense essential oil as there is little evidence that suggests the safety in doing so and vice versa.
If you're in doubt, consult your doctor before using Frankincense essential oil.
Purity – You'll want your Frankincense essential oil shipped with a high level of purity. This means that it needs to undergo steam distillation or CO2 extraction to preserve its therapeutic properties.
Usage – Some Frankincense essential oil is manufactured for external use only. If you intend to take Frankincense oil orally, ensure that the label specifically states it's safe for oral intake. Also, you may want the essential oil to be organic-certified.
General Feedback – Checking out feedbacks from other customers help in minimizing the risks of getting an unsuitable product. It also affirms the credibility of the manufacturers and instills confidence in the products.
Bottle – Frankincense essential oil is sensitive to UV and heat. Only choose Frankincense oil that is contained in an amber glass bottle.
Plant Variant – The most commonly used variant for essential oil is Boswellia Serrata. Other variants may have slightly differing therapeutic effects. Do check the label of the essential oil for the variant type.
Frankincense essential oil is commonly available both online and offline. You can shop for it at your local cosmetics or wellness stores. Alternatively, there is a range of manufacturers and herbalists that are selling Frankincense essential oil online.
If you're buying Frankincense essential oil through online retailers or herbalists website, ensure that they provide a hassle-free refund policy, in the rare case that you receive a defective product.
Searching for the right Frankincense essential oil can be an overwhelming process, considering the hundreds of different product available on a major marketplace. I've spent hours to handpicked some of the best Frankincense oil that can help you ease anxiety.

Why Frankincense smells differently from the same brand?
You may come across comments from Frankincense users that the smell varies between different brands. Some even claimed that a new bottle of Frankincense oil from the same manufacturer smells differently from the existing ones.
As with anything grown naturally, soil conditions, and climates can be contributing factors to the varying aroma. The chances of natural conditions affecting the aroma are high if the distillation process and other quality control measures have been streamlined by the manufacturer.
I trust that this guide has helped you narrow down the options of Frankincense essential oil for you.


Question: My left arm has a fistula for more than 15 years. I was on hemodialysis for 8 years. My left forearm fistula is still working. The appearance however is that of an extremely large bumpy vein approximately 10 inches in length. I am not experiencing any discomfort. Is there a way to reduce this area safely for appearance. My (kidney) transplant was June 2001 and all is terrific.
Answer: The best way to deal with this, in my opinion, is to remove the fistula.


"Wow!!! I can't believe how quickly and smoothly that all went!!!" That was my response on the evening I officially signed off on the sale of my Etobicoke townhouse in May 2015, SIX SHORT DAYS after meeting Ken!!! My home had only been on the market for FOUR DAYS!!! And Ken sold it for OVER ASKING!!!
From the first moment I met Ken when he walked through my door, right through to closing, Ken demonstrated a level of professionalism, preparedness, dedication, and real estate market expertise that is unparalleled. His connections are vast, as he has access to a wonderful group of people that can improve the selling appeal of your home in a heartbeat.
When Ken first saw my home and said that a large, 15' wall and living room ceiling should be painted, I gulped hard. The next morning he told me that not only had the paintjob been completed, but he managed to get some staging accessories in place AND that a photographer would have all the pictures ready. WOW WHAT GLORIOUS PICTURES!!! My family and friends could not believe how much larger and brighter the photos made my home look!
Two days after our initial meeting, all of the marketing materials had been printed. The colour brochures, fully detailed feature sheet, and neighbourhood package. In addition, Ken made full use of all the online marketing tools available. Remarkably, in JUST TWO DAYS of our initial meeting, my home had its first showing and was ready for the upcoming open houses.
Ken has a confidence and negotiating ability that will earn you TOP DOLLAR on the sale of your home. He has a cool and calm nature about him that will make the sale of your home seem effortless and pressure-free. He will attend to all of your questions and concerns promptly. Ken told me that he will "help pay for my next vacation" with the sale of my home…and HE DID EXACTLY THAT!!!

The human Argonaute 2 (hAgo2) protein is a key player of RNA interference (RNAi). Upon complex formation with small non-coding RNAs, the protein initially interacts with the 51-end of a given guide RNA through multiple interactions within the MID domain. This interaction has been reported to show a strong bias for U and A over C and G at the 5ʹ-position. Performing molecular dynamics simulations of binary hAgo2/OH–guide–RNA complexes, we show that hAgo2 is a highly flexible protein capable of binding to guide strands with all four possible 51-bases. Especially, in the case of C and G this is associated with rather large individual conformational rearrangements affecting the MID, PAZ and even the N-terminal domains to different degrees. Moreover, a 5ʹ-G induces domain motions in the protein, which trigger a previously unreported interaction between the 51-base and the L2 linker domain. Combining our in silico analyses with biochemical studies of recombinant hAgo2, we find that, contrary to previous observations, hAgo2 is capable of functionally accommodating guide strands regardless of the 5ʹ-base.

Q: C: Array with elements varying in size Is it possible to have an array of elements (structs) where the values vary in size?
The issue I am faced with is that I do not know how to access an element since it requires a cast. The "array" just contains pointers to the structs. Therefore I have decided to go with void**. As not each of the elements is of the same type, the type needs to be stored in the array as well so that I would know what to cast to without making rough guesses. This does not sound very efficient though. Is there not a more efficient way?

A: If you don't like casts, you can always used unions ( and a flag to indicate which type the union should be interpreted as )
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {
    int a;
} A;

typedef struct B {
    double b;
} B;

typedef struct C {
    char c[20];
} C;

typedef enum {
    TypeA,
    TypeB,
    TypeC,
} type;

typedef struct {
    type type;
    union { A*a; B*b; C*c; } p;
} TypedPointer ;

void foreach (TypedPointer* list, void (*fn)(TypedPointer))
{
    while (list->p.a) {
        fn(*list);
        ++list;
    }
}

void print_member (TypedPointer ptr)
{

        case TypeB: printf("B (%f)\n", ptr.p.b->b); break;

        { .type = TypeC, .p.c = &c },

A: No, C arrays have a constant size that must be known at compiletime.  But you can go around this by using pointers and dynamic allocation.
The problem here is not efficiency as much as as it is type safety.  Casting has no runtime performance cost, it's only a mechanism for talking to the compiler, ask it to "trust you" and assume there's a certain type behind a sequence of bits.  We're talking about safety because if you're wrong then anything at all can happen in runtime.
It is impossible in C (a static language) to construct an array of different types.  What you can do is construct an array of a certain struct but have that struct hold pointers to objects of varying sizes.  For instance, have the struct hold a char* pointer, in which case each object holds a string of one length or another and thus have a variable size (in terms of total memory used in runtime, not in terms of contiguous space used).
If you want each of these objects to behave differently then others then you can emulate polymorphism by using an array of function pointers and then add a function pointer to the struct that points to any of the functions as necessary.

A: No, in C each element of an array have to be of the same type (and thus the same size as well).
You might need to add another layer of abstraction, in this case you need to annotate the elements with the type it has e.g. you could make an array of structs that look like:
enum ElemType {
  TypeNull,
  TypeFoo,
  TypeBar
];

struct Elem {
 enum ElemType type;
 void *realElem;
};

You'd have to update the 'type' with the actual type you insert, and make decisions on that when you read the array, and you store a pointer to the actual element in the 'realElem' member.
struct Elem arr[42];
...
switch(arr[k].type) {
  case TypeFoo:
     handleFoo(arr[k].realElem);
     break;
  ...
}

A: For this, we use an array of pointers to the actual objects.
The pointers are all the same size.
The objects to which they point can be different sizes.
A "discriminated union" works well for this.
typedef struct { ... } this_type;
typedef struct { ... } that_type;
typedef struct {
     int subtype;
     union {
         this_type this;
         that_type that
     }
} discriminated_union;

An array pointers to discriminated_union works out well.

A: Casts are not inefficient since they just tell the computer how to interpret the region of memory.  When they are compiled to assembly, the compiler will create assembly that interprets the region of memory as needed.

Conservation of Endangered Tigers
Conservation of Endangered Tigers in 2021 is a top priority
Over a century ago, it is estimated that there were around 100,000 tigers living in the wild. In present day, approximations show that less than 4,000 tigers exist in the wild while around 8,000 live in captivity. Even though tigers were added to the Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in July of 1975, the tiger population has been steadily decreasing well into 2020. If we are to keep the species from extinction, it will take a worldwide commitment!
Save the Tigers
Tigers are characterized by their orange and white coats that are covered in black stripes. It is said no two tigers have the same striped pattern, and the striped pattern goes down to their skin, not just their fur.
While there are 9 types of tiger subspecies, with 3 extinct, all tigers have the same characteristic colors except the rare white Bengal tigers and the Siberian tigers (Amur tiger), which have brown stripes instead of black.
In addition, these animals are the biggest cats in the world, with Siberian tiger males being able to weigh almost 700 pounds and being nearly eleven feet long from whiskers to the tip of their tails. The smallest subspecies, the Sumatran tiger, can weigh up to half the size of Siberian tigers.
Though their numbers are small, tiger natural habitats range from Bangladesh and Vietnam to Russia and India, and they are present in a total of 13 countries. In captivity, they can be found all over the world.
In the wild, tigers are solitary and typically hunt alone. Their diet mainly consists of mammals, such as deer, antelope, and wild boars, which are found in the dense forests and grasslands where tigers live. They can be opportunistic hunters as well and will feed on bears, birds, and sometimes elephants.
Their wide variety of meals also makes them integral parts of the ecosystems in which they live.
In addition to being aggressive hunters, tigers are also known for their impressive ability to swim great distances and will often lounge in streams and rivers on a hot day.
Endangerment and Extinction
Conservation of endangered tigers starts with the 9 subspecies of tigers, three have already gone extinct, all within recent history. All subspecies of tiger are classified as endangered. While the Bengal tiger is the most populated subspecies, they are still highly endangered.
The extinct Bali tiger was reportedly last seen in the 1930s, but they were not given the extinct status until the 1940s. Similarly, the Javan tiger, which was native to the Indonesian island, Java, was last seen in the 1970s and classified as extinct a decade later. Finally, the Caspian tiger, which were found in parts of Turkey and Iran, became extinct in the 1970s.
Endangered tigers face the same risks that made their cousins go extinct. Hunting and poaching as well as loss of habitat and prey due to human encroachment continue to affect the wild populations of tigers.
Tiger Conservation Efforts
According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, there are many efforts being put into conserving wild tiger populations. The key goal for sanctuaries and preserves is to protect tigers and their habitats from poachers and human encroachment. Designating land preserves specifically for endangered species can help reduce the chances of poaching and help prevent human/tiger conflicts.
In addition to these tiger conservation protections, the WCS plans to promote policies that are tiger friendly, conduct research on conservation strategies, and monitor wild tiger populations and threats. With these strategies, it's possible to prevent further extinction of these beautiful creatures but conservation of endangered tigers will need a worldwide effort as many of the subspecies are listed as critically endangered.

In the News: Water Meter Replacement Program Contractor Rebrands
A pilot program is being launched to upgrade aging water meters and metering equipment
Source: Prince Albert Daily Herald (May 6, 2019)
Written by: Peter Lozinski
The company hired to complete the city's water meter replacement program has a new name.
CORIX, which is installing the new meters on behalf of the city, is in the process of rebranding and transforming to ICONIX waterworks.
According to a press release, the rebrand will not impact the operations of the company or theproject.
"The City would like residents to be aware of the change when they go to make appointments for their water meter replacements," the city said in a press release.
Former website addresses are still valid and will direct people to the new ICONIX site.
"When a resident or business owner goes to make an appointment they will notice that the website and the personnel coming to their door will have the ICONIX brand," said Cheryl Tkachuk, financial services director for the City of Prince Albert in a press release.
"We want residents to be aware so they are not alarmed when they see a brand that was different than the one originally included in the letter they received in April."
The water meter replacement program is mandatory and was launched earlier this year. The new meters can be read remotely, removing the need for someone to access your property to take a reading. They can also provide real-time updates through a mobile application and will allow the city to bring in accurate monthly billing.

Q: about the close method() used for closing a stream Today, when I was working on some kind of servlet which was writing some information to some file present on my hard disk, I was using the following code to perform the write operation
 File f=new File("c:/users/dell/desktop/ja/MyLOgs.txt");
        PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f,true));
        out.println("the name of the  user is "+name+"\n");
        out.println("the email of the user is "+ email+"\n");
        out.close();             //**my question is about this statement**

When I was not using the statement, the servlet was compiling well, but it was not writing anything to the file, but when I included it, then the write operation was successfully performed. My questions are:

*

*Why was the data not being written to the file when I was not including that statement (even my servlet was compiling without any errors)?

*Up to which extent the close operation is considerable for the streams?

A: Calling close() causes all the data to be flushed. You have constructed a PrintWriter without enabling auto-flush (a second argument to one of the constructors), which would mean you would have to manually call flush(), which close() does for you.
Closing also frees up any system resources used by having the file open. Although the VM and Operating System will eventually close the file, it is good practice to close it when you are finished with it to save memory on the computer.
You may also which to put the close() inside a finally block to ensure it always gets called. Such as:
PrintWriter out = null;
try {
    File f = new File("c:/users/dell/desktop/ja/MyLOgs.txt");
    out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f,true));
    out.println("the name of the  user is "+name+"\n");
    out.println("the email of the user is "+ email+"\n");
} finally {
    out.close();
}

See: PrintWriter
Sanchit also makes a good point about getting the Java 7 VM to automatically close your streams the moment you don't need them automatically.

A: When you close a PrintWriter, it will flush all of its data out to wherever you want the data to go. It doesn't automatically do this because if it did every time you wrote to something, it would be very inefficient as writing is not an easy process.
You could achieve the same effect with flush();, but you should always close streams - see here: http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=8 and here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jndi/ldap/close.html. Always call close(); on streams when you are done using them. Additionally, to make sure it is always closed regardless of exceptions, you could do this:
try {
    //do stuff
} finally {
    outputStream.close():
}

A: It is because the PrintWriter buffers your data in order for not making I/O operations repeatedly for every write operation (which is very expensive). When you call close() the Buffer flushes into the file. You can also call flush() for forcing the data to be written without closing the stream.

A: Streams automatically flush their data before closing. So you can either manually flush the data every once in a while using out.flush(); or you can just close the stream once you are done with it. When the program ends, streams close and your data gets flushed, this is why most of the time people do not close their streams!
Using Java 7 you can do something like this below which will auto close your streams in the order you open them.
public static void main(String[] args) {
  String name = "";
  String email = "";
  File f = new File("c:/users/dell/desktop/ja/MyLOgs.txt");
  try (FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f, true); PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(fw);) {
    out.println("the name of the  user is " + name + "\n");
    out.println("the email of the user is " + email + "\n");
  } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

A: PrintWriter buffers the data to be written so and will not write to disk until its buffer is full. Calling close() will ensure that any remaining data is flushed as well as closing the OutputStream.
close() statements typically appear in finally blocks.

A: Why the data was not being written to the file when I was not including that statement?
When the process terminates the unmanaged resources will be released. For InputStreams this is fine. For OutputStreams, you could lose an buffered data, so you should at least flush the stream before exiting the program.

Grindhouse (2007)
M4ufree Movies - Watch Movie Grindhouse (2007) Online
Director:	Robert Rodriguez	Eli Roth	Quentin Tarantino
Genre: Action Horror Thriller
Starring: Kurt Russell Rose McGowan Danny Trejo
Storyline:  Grindhouse (2007) A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.

Hello everyone! Today I am bringing to you all my skin care routine. This routine is something that works for my normal to dry skin. I hope that some of you find this post helpful! Now, let's jump right in!
I like to use an exfoliate scrub cleanser to wash my face, since I wear makeup often, I feel like an exfoliant product helps to remove whatever is left on my face. This one is from Walmart and super inexpensive!
This product can be used for many things, but I like to use it as a part of my skin care routine. Before I wash my face, I like to use this to take off all of my makeup. It breaks down the mascara and just helps all of the makeup come right off. After I have washed my face, I like to go in with the coconut oil again, and apply a generous amount to my face. I leave it on for about 5 minutes and then wipe it off. You would be surprised how much stuff this product removes.
One all of that coconut oil is off I like to apple some type of lip butter or chapstick, this one is from the Fresh Picked collection at Bath and Body Works. It's super hydrating and smells like strawberries.
Last, but not least, I use some type of mask!
I tend to get a lot of blackheads, so I gravitate towards a mud or charcole mask. These types of masks unclog pores! While I wait for my mask to dry, I like to clean up around the house or watch a show!
I hope that you all enjoyed this blog post! There will be more to follow! Make sure and follow my links down below so that we can become friends!

Confronting a history of oppression and subjugation, "arctic defenders" set out to create the new territory of Nunavut in this inspiring doc.
The world's polar regions are entering a new era of international exploration and exploitation due to climate change. Canada's claim to her sovereignty of the north has never been more important than today.
In 1999 one fifth of Canada's landmass, (2,093,190 sq. km) a territory larger than England, France, Germany and Spain combined was created under an historic comprehensive land claim agreement with the federal government that gave 33,000 Inuit special rights and benefits. The largest territorial re-visioning on earth was finally established when the Government of Canada signed the agreement giving Inuit rights and benefits to the land.
The creation of Nunavut meaning "Our Land" happened after thirty years of lobbying by visionary Inuit determined to redraw the political boundaries of Canada and negotiated provisions for them to be intimately involved in the governance of their territory. Canada had finally realized that without the Inuit claim to the land, its own sovereignty of the north would be questioned by an international community determined to gain access to the oil and mineral riches of the northern hemisphere.
The film takes us on a journey to investigate the contemporary history of misguided attempts by the Canadian government to assert it's sovereignty in the High Arctic and how a generation of radical Inuit changed the political landscape of Canada's North. A story of how the survival of a culture defines a nation.

After I graduated from CSULB in 2012, I landed my first job as an Associate Investigator for United States Investigative Services (USIS) located in Las Vegas, NV in 2013. I initially applied for the Record Searcher position, which was an entry-level position located in Burbank, CA.
I received a call from USIS explaining the Record Searcher position wasn't available in Burbank, but there was a higher-level position as an Associate Investigator available in Las Vegas, NV. They offered me the position, and I gladly accepted. When I moved to Las Vegas, I felt that I had to work extra hard to keep everything together.
You got to understand that the Associate Investigator position was my first job ever at 27 years old, and I felt all the hard work I put in from college paid off in a big way. I also felt like I landed a job where people will respect me because I was performing background investigations to help protect my country. Turns out that I got the exact opposite because I struggled the whole time while living in Las Vegas.
During this time, I began to question why did God bless me with a job where I had to struggle every day. I began to question my own abilities, how come I wasn't smart enough to do this type of job and what did I do wrong to deserve this because I thought I've been through enough already being a two-time cancer survivor and hip amputee.
I was only at USIS for three months and resigned because I couldn't understand the job thoroughly, and it took a toll on my physical disability. Being a failure while living in Las Vegas was the worst experience I've ever had to go through, besides having cancer twice and getting my right leg amputated. I was unhappy, bitter, didn't care about my appearance and stayed in my apartment which was always dark because I felt the most comfortable in a dark environment.
I landed other jobs that didn't work out such as selling legal services for Legal Shield in 2013, and I was a debt collector in 2014. When I was selling legal services, one of my co-workers asked me why I was limping while walking. I told him I am a two-time cancer survivor, I lost my right leg to cancer, and now I'm a hip amputee. He asked my age, and at the time I was 27 years old. He said I've endured a lot of hardships already at such young age.
Once I told my co-worker about my life story. He expressed to me along with selling legal services; he was also a Substitute Teacher, Life Coach, and Mentor. He also said he would consult me doing his Life Coach services for free. I decided to leave Legal Shield because I wasn't making enough commission, and I began meeting with my new Life Coach regularly.
When we would meet up, he would encourage me to become a substitute teacher, but being a teacher wasn't resonating with me. Then he came up with the idea of me becoming an inspirational speaker because I have a unique story to tell.
Inspirational Speaker?
Public speaking was way out of my comfort zone, it terrified me, and I hated when I was forced to do it in school. I went home and thought about what my Life Coach said and realized that I have a unique story to tell that could help others who have been through similar situations. I created a PowerPoint Presentation explaining my experience with cancer, and I called my Mother and asked her to mail me all the pictures from when I was sick when I was 14 and 17 years old.
While putting my PowerPoint together, I felt that something was missing and it was my connection with the inFAMOUS videogame franchise and superhero Cole MacGrath.
When I first approached my Life Coach with my new and improved PowerPoint. I was nervous because I thought he was going to judge me because I was talking about my connection with a video game character. It turned out that he liked how creative I was bridging my experiences and realities with cancer to the digital world of inFAMOUS and Cole.
I told him I connected with the fact that Cole had the choice of being a superhero or supervillain. For example, Cole had the choice to save what's left of the world or destroy it. This helped me make a decision: to think positive and do something to help myself, or stay in a dark and depressing place because I didn't have control of my situation.
My Life Coach also encouraged me to come up with a company name, a tagline, create a logo, business cards, and a website if I was serious about becoming an inspirational speaker. After meeting a few times, he said "CalmandStrong." He said I have a calming personality, and I'm strong because of the adversities I was able to overcome.
When he said that, it resonated with me and I told him that's it! That's the name of my company. He also came up with a title for one of my PowerPoint slides, "Some People Walk in Each Other's Shoes… I Carry Mine." I also told him I could come with a tagline, and I did that same week.
One day, I was looking at a Hot 97 interview on YouTube about Hip-Hop artist Ice Cube. The interviewer's Peter Rosenburg and Cipha Sounds asked him why did he leave his Hip-Hop group NWA at the peak of the group's success. Ice Cube said he always knew he was going to leave the group when he realized his money situation wasn't going to be handled properly. He also said, "Nothing is More Powerful Than a Made up Mind."
When he said those words. I thought about my story connected with Cole's and how we both are strong minded, strong willed and followed through on the decisions we made in life. "Nothing is More Powerful Than a Made up Mind" became my tagline because it fits perfectly with my story and Cole's.
I chose to create a logo with doves flying around the world because the doves symbolize God's angels protecting and healing people around the world.
For example, within my CalmandStrong PowerPoint, I have doves on every slide where I express what I've been through and how I was feeling while in the process of defeating cancer. The doves represent God's angels who were protecting and healing me from cancer when I was a teenager.
When I perform my speeches to a wide audience, and people see my PowerPoint Presentation. I want the doves to represent God's angels protecting and healing everybody around the world who are currently sick in the hospital or has ever been sick with a serious illness.
When I speak to audiences, my goal is to connect my experiences and realities of being a two-time cancer survivor and hip amputee to the digital world of the inFAMOUS videogame franchise and superhero Cole MacGrath.
I don't know if you ever let someone down, got your a** kicked or straight up failed, but those are the moments that define us. They push you further than you ever thought possible and force you to make choices… no matter what the cost.
- Cole MacGrath, inFAMOUS 2
I began to see light at the end of the tunnel when my Life Coach completely got why I have such a deep connection with a digital video game superhero character. I felt I could create something that has never been done before, and help people in the process.
I started this endeavor in 2013 while I was still living in Las Vegas, and I got a positive response from people from my social media pages (Facebook and Twitter). I then began to look for opportunities throughout Las Vegas, but nothing happened. At the time, I thought what I created was a good project, and maybe it was time for me to look for a nine to five job. Once I moved back to California in 2015, I applied for one job and landed an interview for a financial services firm.
While driving to the interview, I felt a sense of calmness and my intuition told me not to go to the interview, and it was going to be a waste of time because I should be putting all my energy into what I created, "CalmandStrong." Ever since that day, I've been focused on sharing my superhero story with people, and about 95% of the people I've come across all congratulated me, just for being alive.
I also realized I work better when I'm not being confined to a box with boundaries, and I have creative freedom to express myself artistically.
After all the struggle, pain and sleepless nights thinking about my future. I thank God for pointing me to my divine connection: inFAMOUS and Cole MacGrath, which consists of comparing my superhero story of being a two-time cancer survivor and hip amputee to my favorite superhero: Cole MacGrath.
In 2017, I watched an Unsung episode on TV One about soul singer Kashif. While telling his story and the struggles he had to endure, he said something I completely related to when I was in a dark and depressing place thinking about my future while living in Las Vegas.
Art, I believe is associated with pain, because pain often times causes one to become more introvert, just to deal with the pain.

The Impact: Tragedy to Testimony
"Darryl was always very positive, driven, motivated and strong-willed," my Mother said. "His will is the strongest thing; it's stronger than strength because his will is what keeps people going. He also has courage; he went through something most adults couldn't even face. Overall, he had super strength with a positive outlook on life."
"He is real strong in a lot of areas, and never let the adversities get him down," my Father said. "A lot of strength, he continued and got an education, really proud of him there. Graduated just like his Brother and Sister. Nothing got in his way. He learned how to drive and adapted to his prosthetic leg well, and just like now he is pushing forward, which is great."
"Darryl has his degree from Cal State Long Beach, and we are super proud and excited for him," both Parents said.
My Brother and Sister also gave their thoughts about how I was able to move forward with my life while still being able to overcome many adversities.
"Darryl had his own place, lived on his own, worked and took care of his business, my Brother said. "I think he handled it very well because personally, anybody else would of went into a deep depression or something. It was a tough situation to handle, and not a lot of people can do that."
"He has been positive; I think most people would have gone into a deep depression, felt really sad or sorry for themselves," my Sister said. "I think Darryl handled it, he went to school, finished college and lives a normal life. I think as of now, he has done well."
My Grandmother, Wilhelmena Lee, who was pictured by my bedside when I was in the hospital at 14 years old said, "I'm just thankful that my boy is still here with us."

GE Renewable Energy to supply equipment for 2,160-MW Dasu hydropower in Pakistan
GE Renewable Energy, in consortium with Powerchina Zhongnan Engineering Corporation Limited, announced today that it has been selected by Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) to supply six Francis turbines and generators for Stage 1 of the 2,160-MW Dasu hydropower plant in Pakistan.
The Dasu hydropower project is one of the most important power generation projects in the country, GE says. This project is part of the Vision 2025 Program WAPDA launched in 2001 and the Government of Pakistan's Power Policy 2013. The plant will help generate clean electricity, ushering in a new era of socio-economic potential and development in remote areas.
The project will be completed in two stages. The first stage consists of installing a 2,160-MW hydropower plant on the Indus River, which could be expanded to 4,320 MW in a second phase. Once commissioned in 2026, the Dasu hydropower plant will power around 4 million households.
"The project is vital to add a major quantum of hydroelectricity to the national grid in order to minimize reliance on expensive thermal generation and lower the power tariff," WAPDA Chairman Lt Gen Muzzammil Hussain (Retd) said.
GE Renewable Energy's hydro business is responsible for the design, supply, supervision, installation and commissioning of the six 360-MW Francis turbines and generators, as well as the governors and control and protection systems. GE Grid Solutions will provide the generator circuit breaker.
"We are proud to start this new collaboration with WAPDA and will support them to develop clean and sustainable electricity in Pakistan," said Pascal Radue, President and CEO of the Hydro business of GE Renewable Energy. "We are also glad to be part of this new hydropower project that will facilitate access to electricity in remote areas." GE Renewable Energy provide end-to-end solutions for customers in the areas of onshore and offshore wind, hydro, storage, utility-scale solar, grid solutions, hybrid renewables and digital services offerings.

By Larry Welborn | Orange County Register
SANTA ANA – A Garden Grove man charged with firing dozens of shots from a semiautomatic handgun in the parking lot of the Fashion Island shopping center in Newport Beach was ordered held without bail Tuesday as a danger to others.
Orange County Deputy District Attorney Robert Mestman argued for no bail for Marcos Sarinana Gurrola, 42, during a brief court appearance, saying that Gurrola has confessed to 10 other shooting incidents in Orange County since April.
"He's an angry person," Mestman said after Gurrola's arraignment in the courtroom at the Orange County Jail. "He feels good when he fires a gun."
Superior Court Commissioner Craig Arthur said Mestman presented "clear and convincing evidence" that Gurrola presents a risk of harm to others and ordered that he be held without bail pending his continued arraignment Jan. 11.
Gurrola is charged with 54 counts of discharging a gun in public and two counts of assault in injuries suffered by a mother and her 4-year-old daughter when they were knocked to the ground Saturday in the panic as shoppers tried to get away from the gunfire.
The unemployed security guard was also charged with 10 felony counts for firing a gun in public in a similar incident at the shopping center in November 2011.
Mestman added that police agencies around Orange County, including Garden Grove, Anaheim and Irvine, are investigating Gurrola's admissions to 10 other shootings. There is no evidence that anyone was shot during the prior incidents, Mestman said.
If convicted on all counts he is now charged with, Gurrola faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison. He appeared solemn during Tuesday's court appearance, standing by himself in a mustard-colored jail uniform behind chain-link fencing.
Authorities said Gurrola drove his white Honda Civic into the Macy's parking lot about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, as televisions and newspapers around the country were reporting on the tragic events that occurred Friday in Connecticut, where 26 children and adults were killed in a shooting rampage.
Newport Beach police reported Gurrola got out of his car, raised a Glock .40-caliber handgun and started shooting toward Macy's. No one was injured by the bullets during the 54-shot barrage, police said, and none of the shots struck the building. But as word spread of shots fired in the parking lot, shoppers panicked and ran, knocking a mother and her daughter to the ground, police said.
Authorities said Gurrola dropped the gun and surrendered when Newport Beach police officers arrived.
At the time of Gurrola's arrest, police recovered ammunition for different weapons including .44-caliber, .380-caliber and .38-caliber, but no other weapons, prosecutors said.
Newport Beach police detectives later linked Gurrola to a previous incident on Nov. 16, 2011, when someone fired 10 rounds in a parking lot at Fashion Island, prosecutors said. That shooting was reported to police, but no suspects were detained or identified at the time, prosecutors said.
In an affidavit filed in court in support of the prosecution motion to hold Gurrola without bail, Newport Beach Detective G. Fitzgerald wrote that Gurrola told him he shot his weapon because he felt angry but insisted that he did not shoot at anyone in particular.
"He claimed when he fired his gun, it made him feel better," Fitzgerald said.

I remember watching Arsenio Hall when the show first came on in 1989. Lots of kids these days probably don't remember Arsenio and this show, but back in '89 when I was 13, this was considered the coolest show EVER. People would talk about nearly every show the next day. I remember how everyone in my school were talking about his verbal sparring with Madonna(which always seemed staged to me) back in early 1990.
Unfortunately, only 1989 and 1990 were good to poor Arsenio. The guy and his show stayed true to the old adage, "the quicker you burn, the faster you fade away". The blush went off the rose very quickly, and from 1991-'94, Arsenio limped along with his lame jokes and Eddie Murphy wannabe routines. I remember I stopped watching when I was 15 or 16 sometime in 1991 anyway. During the shows run during the rest of the '90s, people wondered when Arsenio would finally get cancelled, instead of talking about each show like it was an event. I'm not sure, but I think that like M.C. Hammer, Arsenio became very "1989". When the show finally went off the air in 1994, I don't think anyone even cared. I also think this show only receiving only 3 or 4 comments speaks volumes about Arsenio and his show, people have forgotten completely about him. Nevertheless, during 1989 and 1990, Arsenio Hall was a household name.
