Describe the options for signing your partnership agreement with Salesforce.
Get under contract and on your way.
You've got a product and a killer business strategy and both have been approved through the business approval process - congratulations! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. We know you've already put a lot of work into this partnership, and now it's time to make it official.
This is the moment you've been waiting for - you're about to become an AppExchange partner! Let's get you under contract and on your way to a successful product on the AppExchange. To do that, you'll need to sign your partnership agreement.
Other than making you "official", the partnership agreement gives you access to all of the benefits of being an AppExchange partner, allows you to commercially distribute your product, and is required for you to move any further with the checklist steps.
Earlier in your journey to become an AppExchange partner, you decided what kind of product you were going to build based on the customer you want to reach and the type of functionality you want to deliver (step 5, remember?). That decision is a big one, because the way you're looking to distribute ultimately determines what kind of agreement you'll need to have.
Luckily for you, you don't have to figure this out alone. In your review call with the AppExchange Partner Program team as part of step 7, you discussed how you'll be distributing your app and decided on your path forward.
Selling your product to existing Salesforce customers and ready to get to the AppExchange, like, yesterday? You're in luck. You can accept our click-through agreement on the Partner Community and be on your way. This is your fastest path to market.
Building your product on the Salesforce Platform and selling outside of the Salesforce customer base? We'll work together on a different agreement.
Now you know the importance of signing your partnership agreement and how to make it happen. Next step is to sign on the dotted line and submit your product for security review!
We're thrilled to officially welcome you as an AppExchange partner!


In 1979, Qingdao Jiaonan Government built a factory for ship building business. The factory was named "Lingshan Ship building Co., Ltd" and the factory was owned by the government. One of her branches seated in the Zhuhai Industry Zone, the branch was the predecessor of our company. The main business is steel structure building and ship building. In 2000, the Jiannan Government decided to transfer Lingshan Shipbuilding Company into private enterprise. At the same year, Lingshan Shipbuilding Company combined by Korea Hyundai Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
And we became an independent private company with the name Lingshan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. The main products the same.

But between 1979 and 2000, our factory was branch factory of Lingshan Ship Building Co., Ltd. In the year of 2000, Hyundai Group mergered Lingshan Ship Building Co., Ltd and our factory independented. So,the real age of our factory is 38 years old.

This link came to me from Bill Lagakos via Facebook. It covers a lot of ground and is, unavoidably, a little superficial in places when the subject matter is very deep. He mentions his work with mice made heteroplasmic for two different strains of mitochondria, the NZB and the 129. Both work perfectly well as the sole mitochondrial population giving normal mice. Engineering heteroplasmy produces mice with a stack of problems in high energy demand tissues.
There is a more detailed analysis of this aspect in Nick Lane's comment in the same edition of Cell about why heteroplasmy might be a Bad Thing, especially in high ATP demanding cells.
A lot of ground. Much there which makes sense.

Business, Economy & Markets
Pay time: the big squeeze on small business
Business, Economy & Markets| By Michael West| August 1, 2016
US cereal giant Kellogg's and New Zealand milk multinational Fonterra have put the squeeze on local suppliers by stretching their payment terms out to a crushing 120 days.
Along with other multinationals such as Unilever and Nestle, Kellogg's and Fonterra already had their suppliers on 90-day terms, a punishing delay for family businesses who have to pay staff and a slew of other costs within the month.
The move to 120 days does not bode well for small business, already fed up with "being used as a bank", as one framed it. "Small business is the engine room of the economy," he said, declining to be named for fear of reprisals, "And we are bankrolling these multinationals. I've got staff, super, rent and electricity to pay: and GST and payroll tax to collect. I can't tell my staff to wait for 120 days to be paid".
Kellogg's was ducking for cover when rung for comment, its media team refusing to return calls. Fonterra issued this statement via a spokesperson:
"In 2011, we identified that international best practice was to pay vendors supplying goods and services on a 60 day global standard payment from the end of the month in which the invoice was received. Part of our 2015 business transformation was to speed up compliance to this global standard term. We have 20,000 vendors globally and 16,000 or 80% of them have had no change to their payment terms."
According to a Fonterra document seen by this reporter, however, the new terms are "1st of the month, 3 months following invoice date".
As for Fonterra's claim of "international best practice", payment terms in Europe have been moving the other way, by law. Since March 2013, the maximum delay for companies in the EU to for pay for goods and services is 30 days, unless agreed by both parties in writing, in which case it may be 60 days.
Even if it was adhering to "international best practice", as Fonterra alleges, something is wrong. Over the past decade in Australia, payment terms in some sectors have marched from 30 days to 60 days, then to 90 days.
"The little guys don't have any choice"
Terms vary by sector, and by supplier. Fashion is more efficient than packaged groceries. One rag-trade source said the norm was 30 days when dealing with Big W, Target or Just Group but Specialty Fashion Group had pushed out its terms to 60 days.
Suppliers in transport and the construction industry (a long-term offender) often take longer to pay and in the past two years mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP, bedevilled by falling commodity prices, have pushed out their payment terms.
In the supermarket supply chain however, which is dominated by retailing duopoly Woolworths and Coles, the pressure appears to be worst. Although Kellogg's and Fonterra refused to discuss the issue of payment terms for this story it is a fair bet they would sheet home the blame to the supermarkets.
There has been a price war in milk, and branded grocery manufacturers such as Kellogg's have been under consistent pressure. Woolies has been pushing out its payment terms from 30 to 60 days. It declined to comment for this story when approached last week.
The escalation in payment times imposes a drag on the entire economy. Instead of shelling out tax cuts to big business, if the government were to rein in payment terms it would surely deliver a fillip in liquidity to thousands of small businesses. Credit group Dun & Bradstreet estimates $19 billion annually is kept from suppliers beyond the 30 days.
Research by UK finance company MarketInvoice earlier this year found Australia the worst offender for late payments in its global survey, even ranking behind Mexico.
http://info.marketinvoice.com/hubfs/The_State_of_Late_Payment_MarketInvoice_2016.pdf
Interestingly though, the latest figures from Dun & Bradstreet for July show trade payment times remain near their historical lows, although they did tick up in the second quarter of the year.
http://dnb.com.au/article-tpa-payment-times-climb-after-record-lows.html#.V53Ow5N95p-
There appears to be a disparity between the D&B data and what small business organisations are hearing from their members. Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell said last week late payments and extended payment times were putting increasing pressure on small business and she had increasingly fielded complaints about big businesses extending terms.
"The escalation in payment times imposes a drag on the entire economy"
"Fundamentally, the dilemma for Australia is that we have duopolies, very large companies, and their market power is such that the little guys don't have any choice (but to accept delayed payment terms)," she said.
Who are the winners from this "procurement" ruse? Fonterra and Kellogg's will no doubt enjoy higher profits by holding money for longer with the banks; and the banks themselves will sell more high-rate overdraft facilities to struggling small businesses.
When Woolies moved to stretch their payment terms earlier this year from 30 to 60 days, one analyst estimated that, as they sold product on average 22 days after they took possession of it, they got to use the cash for an extra 38 days.
When Rio Tinto moved to double the length of its payments to suppliers from 45 to 90 days earlier this year, a fierce backlash from suppliers and ensuing political pressure forced the company to renege.
What is needed from small business peak bodies is a register of company payment terms. It is only when such things are made public, as was the case with identifying (or "naming and shaming" as detractors like to call it) specific multinational tax avoiders, that there was a concerted political response. All that is needed, in other words, is a list.
As suppliers are loath to talk publicly, and as different companies have different suppliers on different terms, it is too easy now for big companies to get away with exploiting their smaller suppliers as a free bank.

Enthusiastic Review of Juan Cole, Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires in Washington Report
Eleni Zaras, who has has a BA in the History of Art from the University of Michigan and a masters degree in History at the Universite Paris Diderot, just reviewed my recent book, Muhammad: Prophet of Peace amid a Clash of Empires (New York: Bold Type Books, 2018) at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Do click to see the whole review, but here are some excerpted passages, below:
Zaras writes,
"Using the "rich vein of peace [that] runs through the Qur'an" as a common thread, the book traces the life of Muhammad, the mounting pressure in the Hejaz region as a result of Roman and Sasanian wars and the spread of Islam up until the end of the prophet's life . . .
Muhammad and his growing number of followers were "explicitly allied" to the Romans and the West, Cole argues. Muhammad's message, which focused on settling local tribal disputes as well as building peace between Jews and Christians, believed that "political peace would come with the restoration of the Pax Romana" . . .
The Qur'an and teachings of Muhammad, Cole demonstrates, are in direct conversation with the religious and political thinkers of the Roman Empire and responded directly to the challenges of its day. He argues that "[t]he Qur'an sought to play down creedal formulas in favor of a political community of vaguely defined monotheists who could confront external attacks together." …
"This comparative approach offers 'a reinterpretation of early Islam as a movement strongly inflected with values of peacemaking that was reacting against the slaughter of the decades-long war and attendant religious strife.' Cole's approach challenges not only American and European studies on Islam but also Muslim historiographical tradition. . ."

There are five debutants in the Springbok squad to face Scotland in Port Elizabeth, with 14 changes from the match-day 23 that edged Wales in Nelspruit.
The four uncapped players on a new-look bench are prop Marcel van der Merwe, lock Stephan Lewies, loose forward Teboho Mohoje and flyhalf Marnitz Boshoff. Also on the bench are Adriaan Strauss, Trevor Nyakane, Francois Hougaard and Zane Kirchner, none of whom have played any Test rugby yet this season.
Two players, Handré Pollard and Marcell Coetzee, have not yet featured for the Springboks this year, while four of these are replacements who have been promoted to the starting team, namely Lwazi Mvovo, Schalk Burger, Lodewyk de Jager and Coenie Oosthuizen.
Tendai Mtawarira (neck), Flip van der Merwe (knee) Willem Alberts (concussion) and Johan Goosen (knee) were not considered for selection this week. Goosen has been released from the squad and has returned to Bloemfontein to continue his final phase rehabilitation at the Cheetahs.
"We had to make a number of changes to the team and while team selection is never easy, especially this week when we had to make a few hard decisions, it's been great to see the excitement under the players for this final Test of the series," said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
Meyer said Pollard had always been part of his plans for the June Tests, but that his selection as SA Under-20 captain meant he could only join the squad this week.
On the composition of the bench, Meyer commented: "Adriaan, Trevor, Francois and Zane know what it's about while the other guys will bring energy and enthusiasm with them.
"All of them deserve this chance. 'Oupa' still played Varsity and Vodacom Cup rugby earlier this season before he got an opportunity to play Super Rugby for the Cheetahs because of injuries. He took his chance and now he's on the cusp of making his Test debut," said Meyer.
"Marnitz and Marcel have shone for their franchises this year and patiently waited in the last couple of weeks, always working hard and putting in everything at our training sessions. Stephan only joined us on Monday, but he made an impression already at our training camp in Durban last month and slotted in without any problems this week.
The Springboks will face a confident Scotland side on Saturday after they beat the USA, Canada and Argentina on tour in the last three weeks.
Meanwhile, Van der Merwe has joined a long list of injured players who will not play again this season after he was ruled out for six months following examination by specialists in Pretoria. He injured his posterior cruciate ligaments.
Mtawarira, who has a bulging disc in his neck and consulted with a specialist in Durban earlier this week, will be monitored for the next two weeks before a decision on his return to the field will be made.
The following players missed out on the entire or part of the June Tests because of injury: Jean de Villiers (knee), Damian de Allende (knee) Eben Etzebeth (foot), Jaque Fourie (ankle), Pat Lambie (bicep), Frans Malherbe (concussion), Scarra Ntubeni (foot), Pieter-Steph du Toit (knee), Franco van der Merwe (ankle), Arno Botha (knee), Pierre Spies (bicep), Louis Schreuder (hand), Gio Aplon (elbow), Juan de Jongh (pneumonia), Mtawarira, Van der Merwe, Alberts and Goosen.
Seven players based in France and England have been released to their clubs and were not available for selection this week. they are Gurthrö Steenkamp, Schalk Brits, Bakkies Botha, Francois Louw, Morné Steyn, Wynand Olivier and Bryan Habana.
South Africa: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Cornal Hendricks, 13 JP Pietersen, 12 Jan Serfontein, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Handré Pollard, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Schalk Burger, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Victor Matfield (captain), 4 Lodewyk de Jager, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Coenie Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Adriaan Strauss, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Marcel van der Merwe, 19 Stephan Lewies, 20 Teboho Mohoje, 21 Francois Hougaard, 22 Marnitz Boshoff, 23 Zane Kirchner.

In the state of Florida, marriages are considered sacred unions between spouses who build a family, sharing assets and property. When spouses decide that they no longer wish to continue their marriage, thereby gaining a divorce, there are many factors to consider.
How will the custody of children be shared and arranged? How will shared property and assets be distributed? Is spousal support and/or alimony an option?
In contested divorces, these sensitive questions can be extremely difficult to answer. A reliable contested divorce attorney in Orlando, FL, is necessary.
In uncontested divorces, spouses understand the unique circumstance that they in and they are able to compromise and reach sound resolutions regarding how children and property will be distributed within the family. Contested divorces, on the other hand, are much more complicated. In these sort of divorces, there is often a lot of emotional turmoil and instability present. Contested divorce costs can skyrocket if either (or both) spouses want to fight in court or draw out the process. As a result, the spouses are often unable to reach an agreement. It is then the court's responsibility to determine how goods will be distributed. An experienced contested divorce lawyer can inform you of your rights and assist you with securing and protecting your hard-earned assets, investments and property.
In some cases, spouses are only able to come to a consensus about certain aspects in a divorce. For example, they may determine the spouse that will be responsible for being the primary care provider and live-in parent of the children. However, it may difficult for the spouses to reach an agreement regarding how property and assets should be distributed.
Unless there is prenuptial document, which explicitly states how property will be distributed in the event of a divorce, an experienced Florida contested divorce attorney will be necessary.
Investigate: Not only are divorce lawyers well-versed in Florida divorce laws, but they are familiar with lengthy investigations. They have the means, skills, and resources to interview family members, friends, and even medical and financial specialists (if testimonial support will help your case). In addition, they have the ability to audit spending and funds within your household, often making them able to detect fraudulent and/or hidden funds of a spouse. By identifying funds that may not otherwise be indicated, you can rest assured that the distribution of property and assets will be distributed equally.
Protect Your Assets: If you have been significantly harmed in your marriage, (i.e. abuse, neglect, etc.), you deserve to be compensated. Likewise, if you have been treated wrongfully during your marriage, it is not necessarily fair or just for you to lose your hard-earned assets and property. An experienced contested divorce attorney can advocate on your behalf, ensuring that your property, investments and assets are secured.
At the Smith Family Law Firm, PA, our divorce attorneys pride ourselves in the ability to aggressively fight for and protect your interests, while also being significantly considerate of the emotional devastation that you may be experiencing. We will work patiently and compassionately with you, while simultaneously advocating for your property in a court of law. We can also help you weigh any pros and cons if you are still figuring out which is best for you and your children: contested vs. uncontested divorce.
Contested divorce procedures can be messy, but the stress and financial damage can be less severe (even almost insignificant) if you rely on an experienced divorce attorney in Orlando, FL.

Gov. Tom Wolf awarded nearly $225,000 to the district's eight K-8 schools — part of a $5.5 million total granted across the state from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in 2019.
The grant was divided among the schools:
Davis K-8: $25,242.50
Devers K-8: $32,947.50
STEAM Academy: $14,317.50
Ferguson K-8: $32,832.50
Goode K-8: $32,660
Hannah Penn K-8: $29,670
Jackson K-8: $29,267.50
McKinley K-8: $27,657.50
An additional $38,410 was awarded to Lincoln Charter School, and $11,500 was given to Logos Academy in York.

"Good nutrition is a vital aspect of not only healthy living but of learning and blossoming within the school system," said state Rep. Carol Hill-Evans, D-York City, in a news release.
Additionally, Hill-Evans announced the new Urban Agricultural Infrastructure Grant Program enacted by state Sen. Sharif Street, D-Philadelphia, that establishes the state's first Urban Agricultural Grant Fund.
"It can turn blight into community gardens and help to combat food insecurity that takes place in many of our local neighborhoods," Hill-Evans stated.

The grant program, open from Aug. 1 through Sept. 6, includes microgrants, single-entity applications and collaborations, according to a news release.
Applicants would be reimbursed for projects focused on developing urban farms and market opportunities, and grants would be awarded for efforts to improve agricultural infrastructure in urban areas and support for community development, for example.
Individuals, partnerships, associations, businesses and municipal governments are eligible to apply, and more information can be found on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website, www.agriculture.pa.gov/Pages/Urban-Agriculture-Infrastructure-Grants.aspx.
"The more access to nutritious food we have, the better chance we have of fighting hunger," Hill-Evans said.

Q: Formatting phone numbers - vba I have large data set - 10 000 records with the phone numbers:
Phone_N
5656666666
6676767677
6767677777
5555555555
5555567888
6666777777

I need to format it like:
Phone_N
(565) 666-6666
(222) 767-3333
(676) 777-7777

etc....
My data already have no spaces, "-", "/" or any other characters.
It just needed to be formatted in a proper phone format.
It would be very helpful if you could point me the right direction to start.

A: You can use the Format Function to format Phone_N as you wish.  I'm not sure whether Phone_N is text or numeric data type, but the following Format example will accept either.
Phone_N = 2227673333 ' (Phone_N is numeric)
? Format(Phone_N, "(###) ###-####")
(222) 767-3333
Phone_N = "2227673333" ' (Phone_N is text)
? Format(Phone_N, "(###) ###-####")
(222) 767-3333

A: You could use a UDF (user defined function)
stick the below code in a standard module in VBE (Visual Basic Editor) ALT+F11  right click anywhere in the Project Explorer window » Insert » Module
after formatting use ADO to UPDATE your table
Function FORMAT_NUMBERS(r As Range)
    FORMAT_NUMBERS = "(" & Left(r, 3) & ") " & Right(Left(r, 6), 3) & "-" & Right(r, 4)
End Function

example

A: no need to use VBA, just try Notepad++, edit your data in cloumn pattern.

A: This can be done in VBA.  You could use the following to accomplish this.
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, TempN As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Phone_N FROM MyTableName", dbOpenDynaset)

If (rs.RecordCount <> 0) Then
  rs.MoveFirst
  Do While rs.EOF <> True
    TempN = rs.Fields("[Phone_N]").value
    rs.Edit
    rs.Fields("[Phone_N]").value = "(" & Left(TempN, 3) & ") " & _
                                   Left(Right(TempN, 7), 3) & "-" & _
                                   Right(TempN, 4)
    rs.Update
    rs.MoveNext
  Loop
End If


Photo by: Brandon Gustafson Scouts from Troop 189 kicked off the Lighthouse Festival parade in 2018. The parade has been canceled for 2019.
The lead up to the 54th annual Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival, as well as the festival itself, will look significantly different this year as the Run-A-Muk 5K/10K and the Lighthouse Festival parade have been canceled.
"Those two events have been revenue generating in the past, (but) now cost the (Lighthouse) Festival Association more than they bring in," former Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce CEO Julie Martin said.
As we reported last week, the Mukilteo Farmers Market is taking 2019 off due to a lack of volunteers to help run the day-of operations of the market. Between the farmers market and the removal of the festival parade and Run-A-Muk, this summer in Mukilteo will have fewer options for those looking for local happenings.
Run-A-Muk has always taken place each year a few weeks prior to the Lighthouse Festival. The Lighthouse Festival Association sponsored it, and proceeds from sign-ups directly benefited the festival.
The annual parade traditionally took place the second day of the festival, and traditionally took place on Harbour Pointe Boulevard in front of Kamiak High School.
Last year, Martin told The Beacon that the festival was undergoing financial difficulties due to ever-increasing costs to run the festival, which takes place for three days in early September at Lighthouse Park.
The festival had already undergone some cutbacks in recent years, removing the second day of fireworks and having less fencing, lighting and porta potties, to name a few items.
Martin, now the Lighthouse Festival Board president, confirmed to The Beacon that there will be significant cutbacks to the festival Mukilteans have come to expect the last few years, with the removal of Run-A-Muk and the parade.
"Those of us on the planning committee have already began plans for the 2019 Festival and are having to make some tough choices," she said.
The 54th festival will still take place as planned in early September.
Last year, Martin wrote an article for The Beacon about the need for more funding and more volunteers, both of which she said have been steadily declining in recent years.
"Some great ideas and conversations came from that article. I have heard that many Mukilteans would like to go back to some of the fun, family-style events and I am working to find organizations and funding for those things," she said.
While talking to The Beacon last year, Martin said the festival board and committee were both undergoing significant turnover, a key concern for the festival as it looks ahead.
Those interested in volunteering or getting involved with the Lighthouse Festival can attend a planning meeting, which takes place the fourth Thursday of each month at the Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce building, 4902 76th Street SW.


Why choose a multi-fuel stove for your home??
Multi-fuel stoves give you options which is why lots of people are attracted to them - and this can be the biggest advantage when deciding which stove best suits you. A multi-fuel stove is designed to burn wood, smokeless fuels, anthracite and peat or turf briquettes (lovely smell!).
Multi-fuel stoves are manufactured differently to wood burning stoves, in that each stove has a central riddling grate and ashpan, rather than a fixed grate with a flat base. The movement of this grate allows the multi-fuel stove to burn each type of fuel very efficiently.
If you are using fuel other than wood, in a multi-fuel stove, you will need to ash the stove out after every use, to ensure efficient burning and optimum combustion. The big disadvantage in this case is that is can be time consuming and very dirty. However - if you stick to wood (like 98% of our customers) you will need to leave a bed of ash in the stove for your fresh logs to sit on, and therefore you will only need to ash the stove out every week to ten days if using good quality wood.
If you decide that you would like to burn mostly smokeless coal - because it retains the heat for longer, and can be more cost effective than wood - you need to be aware of a couple of things. We have already covered that you will need to ash the stove out every day, and that is can be quite dirty, but you will also need a higher grade of liner if you are lining your chimney, than you would use if you were burning mainly wood, and this will be more costly.

Keep your enemies close to save the planet
This year Toronto Wolfpack join rugby's Super League. But at what cost to the climate? (Rick Madonik/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
I'm a rugby fan. In the past I played for several amateur teams as I moved between cities for work. In all honesty I was never a particularly good player, but being keen and available is usually enough to secure a place in the squad and a guaranteed game in the reserves. It's been over ten years since I picked up a ball though. Rugby is definitely a game for the young*. These days I meet my craving for rugby vicariously through supporting my local rugby union club and the rugby league side from where I grew up.
Over the last 30 years or so the game has changed immensely, and mostly for the better. Rugby union turned professional in 1995 while rugby league had begun to do so a century earlier (this was the original reason for the split between the two codes). Overall this has meant an increased profile, a more enjoyable experience for the fans, better protection for players and most of all an improved quality of the game.
Another trend began in the last few years though, which is that the sports became international at club level. In 2006 the rugby union Super League ceased to be a UK-only affair with the arrival of French side Catalans Dragons. In the 2020 season it has been joined by Toronto Wolfpack from Canada. A league previously confined to a narrow corridor of northern England has suddenly become transatlantic. Meanwhile in Ireland my local rugby union side Munster now play in the elite PRO14 league. Originally the Celtic League and composed of sides from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, these days it takes in two clubs each from Italy and South Africa. In the southern hemisphere Super Rugby unites teams from Argentina to Japan. Hardly next-door neighbours.
Why should this matter? Surely it's great to see some of the world's best teams pitted against one another?
Watching the start of the rugby league season made me a little anxious. Toronto, being unable to play in Canada at this time of year (it's still too cold), began their season with a heavy loss against Yorkshire side Castleford Tigers. Many of their fans were Canadians based in the UK and delighted to have a team from back home to support. But there was also a hard core of travelling fans. And what happens when UK sides start playing games in Canada: how many air miles will be racked up? Few fans can afford to do so, and certainly not often, but there was no reason to even consider it before now.
This internationalisation of sport at the club level is driving a new trend in long-haul leisure travel, whether it's American Football games in London or South African rugby teams playing in Ireland. Entire teams, their support staff and a dedicated fan base are now making regular trips around the world for one-off fixtures.** These will inevitably involve more flights than would otherwise have occurred. At least if you're playing teams in your own country you can usually take the train.
This has of course been going on with international-level sports for a long time, but there the frequency is much lower. Major tournaments only occur every few years and visiting national fans usually attend a couple of games, allowing for an economy of scale. Even in this arena there's been an increase in travel; one of the reasons for the formation of multinational touring sides like the Lions was to spread the cost of long-distance trips among national associations. Now every country travels independently. Still, although the audiences for international fixtures are huge, most fans watch at home on the TV. Club fans usually don't have that option.
In the face of a climate crisis all sectors of society have a part to play. Unnecessarily increasing travel emissions by creating trans-national sporting contests among teams with very local fan-bases strikes me as an unwelcome new direction. Commercialisation of the game has had many benefits but this is not one of them. Despite flygskam, growth of air travel has continued unabated, and international sporting fixtures are a contributing factor.
The most enjoyable, passionate and intense games are those between local rivals. Watching Munster face up to Leinster, or Warrington against St Helens**, is to me the pinnacle of each sport at club level. Best of all, we can watch them practically on our doorsteps. Keeping our sporting fixtures local is one small way in which we can reduce our impact on the planet. Sustainable rugby? Why not.
* Anyone who plays rugby past the age of 35 is either brilliant, crazy or no longer interested in the finer tactical points of the game.
** The chant of disgruntled fans suspecting the referee of bias will have to be "Did you bring him on the plane?".
*** Especially when we win. Oh look, we did it again.

Donald Trump Doesn't Know the State Capitals
A White House aide has confirmed that the President of the United States does not know the capitals of most states. This became evident when Barron Trump, the fifth-grade son of the President, asked his father for help studying for his state capitals test, during which Barron is expected to take a blank map of the United States, and write in each state, and its respective capital. It has been confirmed that President Trump claimed that the capital of California was Los Angeles (it's Sacremento), and failed to produce an answer when Barron asked, "which one is New Hampshire and which is Vermont?" Most shockingly, however, Trump claimed that the capital of New York is Queens. Barron Trump's next assignment is a five-paragraph essay on the system of checks and balances in the United States federal government.

Por que eu recebo "perda positiva" ao verificar um cabo de teste?
Verification of test reference cords is easy, right? Yes, usually…but not always. After the power meter is set to 0 dB via the reference procedure, the loss of a mated connector pair is expected to be less than 0,20 dB for single-mode (e.g., -0,20 dB). Let's examine one scenario where a loss is not negative (e.g., +0,15 dB).
The latest TIA standard for balanced twisted-pair cable systems – TIA 568.2-D – was approved for publication during the TR-42.7 meeting on 12 de junho de 2018. It will replace TIA-568-C.2 and is expected to be published in the coming weeks.

The unofficial list of the 102-player draft pool so far
by Will Beverina March 10, 2018 May 20, 2018
written by Will Beverina March 10, 2018 May 20, 2018
Soon after the NBA 2K League dropped news on its draft and lottery, players in the top 250 began receiving phone calls from the league notifying them they had made the 102-player draft pool on Friday.
Players good enough to make the top-102 began posting the news to Twitter, as the phone calls came in waves all Friday evening long. We took it upon ourselves to try and find everyone who said they had made it and compile a list of their Twitter handles.
Remember, this is an unofficial list. It is a collection of players who said on Twitter that they made it. Some could be lying, other players may be withholding the news or not on Twitter. The league will release the official list later this month. It is likely that not all players who are in the 102 have received their phone call yet.
