Competitive IT firms cannot afford to be tied to old tools. The IT industry is as fast-moving as it gets, and the increasing investment in incubators and accelerators are a testament to the efforts and investments companies are making to find the next breakthrough innovation.
The cloud is a way to cheaply outsource hosting infrastructure, which makes deployment and scalability much easier. Outsourced cloud services have removed many of the limitations that companies were experiencing with product design and testing by providing inexpensive off-site data storage, but there are other advancements that are allowing companies and their developers to create new products more easily. Emerging languages, for example, are quickly replacing stalwarts such as Java as coders find ways to apply new languages to specific scenarios.
The faster a skilled professional programmer can build a product the better, and the programming language used can either speed up or slowdown that process.
The adoption of new languages is an illustration of the tech adoption process. New and flashy languages appear, they create a niche following among startups and individuals (innovators and early adopters) and, if they prove to be significantly valuable, they reach a critical mass.
According to Wired contributor Klint Finley, Google started using Kotlin because "it offers most of the same basic features as Java plus the coding equivalent of seat warmers and a killer sound system. This means programmers can write safer, more reliable code with less work." When Google switched from Java to Kotlin, Android users experienced fewer bugs, and programmers enjoyed working with a simpler and more interesting language.
Of course, now that the industry leader has adopted Kotlin, many other companies will follow suit. But the process wasn't easy. Kotlin has been around since 2010 – seven years before Google officially announced its support. It takes serious internal advocacy and an IT-centric mindset to even begin discussing the adoption of new programming languages.
But new languages are just one element changing IT and software engineering. The latest trends, AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, can be even more of a challenge to implement. These systems are being integrated in every sector and industry, but how can you know what your organization should focus on? Which systems provide the most value to your organization?
This set of articles on IT, software engineering, architecture, and tools delves into the latest IT advancements and practices so that today's business leaders are both informed and enthusiastic about what is available and how these technologies, processes, and new languages can transform business operations.
The first article in a series of five explains cloud integration and how it has affected software development and engineering. Specifically, this article explains the various outsourcing models and the costs and implications of migrating to the cloud.
The second article in IT and software engineering looks at the new developments in product design and creation, including the movement toward open-source software and cross-functional APIs.
The third article examines Agile, a lean project management system. The article explores when to use Agile (and when to not), how to implement an agile system, and how to budget for agile.
The fourth article explores the different ways AI and machine learning technology are impacting business, and AI's potential impact on technology spending and employment in the future. Finally, the article summarizes AI's impact at the sector level to show its versatility and broad application.
The final article in the series addresses how advances in IT are shaping communications both within and outside of organizations. This article gives examples of integrated IT technologies, such as AI, which are improving communication tools for better customer experiences. This article explains the pros and cons of internal communication tools and describes how sales can be driven by external communication tools. Finally, the article describes the new project management apps that integrate real-time project management with internal collaboration and communication.
A guide for managing innovation during rapid change.


I think this new plan makes a ton of sense, you can build the road while still protecting the creek, man we have buildings in this town with creeks that run through them, we can build it while protecting the environment at the same time, plus there is a big for sale sign on most of the land behind walmart anyway. Development is coming!
The wetlands behind Rona won't survive survive if 20th Street is extended. And what about the noise, pollution and safety issues that come with the massive increase in traffic when 20th Street is turned into a highway access road? No problem I guess, as long as you don't live there.
My opinion is this. It to me was a no brainer to upgrade the existing intersection with better turning lanes and a 4 way stop lite system controlled by traffic counts.This 20 street extension is nothing sort of ridiculous.
How does this in any way alleviate south bound traffic turning left or northbound traffic turning left into campground?
It seems like a incredible expensive road system to build just to satisfy the small amount of traffic that is trying to turn left to go south at present time?

You hit the nail right on the head. Extending 20th Street will only add to the problems, not alleviate them. A properly engineered intersection with traffic-controlled stop lights is the best solution IMO, even if it is less than perfect.
Yes, we already have a creek that runs through town and through buildings. This creek is basically just a storm sewer for all that length that runs under all those buildings. It emerges in a hotel and provides some gurgling sounds and that's about all. It only becomes a creek again when it emerges out of the buildings.
If this was a lower mainland intersection, a light would have gone in long ago, maybe even an interchange. But it's Okanagan North and the local masses will put up with what the province tells them, and they'll still vote Liberal/Conservative/Social Credit or whatever they call themselves. They've done it for generations.
This says nothing of the overpass. The one with the big dips where water collects during a thunderstorm, setting up a hydroplaning trap for anyone foolish enough to drive over it at the speed limit. There have be many crashes on the overpass, including a double fatality last summer......... during a thunderstorm. The traffic needs to be slowed down. Put in the #$%^&* light.
^^^ Placing an overpass on top of a marsh was a really stupid thing to do, I totally agree with you on that one bob.
I mean 20 street extension is one thing but to then block all Hy97 left turn traffic is just plain stupid.
so if a person wants to go across the highway its ok but if u want to cross the highway and turn left you not allowed???
The last thing that highway needs is another light. There really needs to be an overhaul of the 2 main highways thru town. All left turns on HWY 97 should only be done at controlled intersections. The new light at Bearisto and Tim Hortons is awful, and is already causing backups and bottle necking. Cant wait for summer, and the Funtastic weekend.

No, its not the end of story. There is no need for a light there. If people have that much of an issue trying to make a left turn going back into town, go down PV. Thats what I do.


Elisse discovered a few cinemas around Barcelona that play 'Version Original' films, eg. films that have subtitles rather than being dubbed. This is great, so long as we want to see an English film.
On our second attempt at following google maps we actually found one of these cinemas down near Port Olimpic. We saw Planet Terror yesterday, one part of Grind House, what was suppose to be a double bill along with Death Proof, but apparently it didn't do so well in the States, so it's been split up for release in a lot of other places (like Spain). I really enjoyed it - fantastic B-grade horror.
I've been trying to fix the internet here, my wireless keeps dropping off - in any other country waiting until almost 2am would give you a sleeping house to play with the internet. In Spain I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning (at say, 11am) when everyone is asleep.
Oh yeah, and Freebase has public read access now.


Christmas has always been my most-awaited time of the year ever since I was kid. I can't help but be euphoric now that it is definitely in the air. I'm looking forward to family and friends gathering together in merriment. Yes, this is one of the busiest season, but also the most wonderful for so many reasons.
My favorite part, and I guess everybody's much loved, is the feast our family prepares every Christmas Eve. I set aside whatever special dietary plan I have to enjoy this occasion we have been waiting for the whole year. The previous preparations we've had seemed like a showcase of our cooking skills, not to mention our eating capacity as well. I wonder what will consist our menu this year. I'm already checking out some recipes.
I used to worry whenever we have such occasions as Christmas. I couldn't seem to enjoy the food because of my sensitive teeth. While meal preparation is important, especially to us who love to eat, having a great set of teeth is also vital. "Pangingilo" has ruined a lot of Christmases and other events in the past. It held me back from enjoying my cold desserts and even hot soup.
Unlike toothache that usually lasts longer, "pangingilo" is almost instantaneous. The discomfort would make me shut my eyes tightly for a few seconds, while the throbbing travels from the very root of my teeth to the top of my head. It started to happen often so I decided to consult my dentist.
You should avoid eating or drinking something hot, and then immediately followed by something cold, or vice versa. This is just one of the advice I got from my dentist. On top of it all, the best practice to avoid sensitivity or "pangingilo", is to use the right toothpaste and toothbrush. Yes, it helps that your toothpaste makes your teeth stronger and less sensitive. However, it is absolutely favorable to get instant relief when in pain.
Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Repair and Prevent helps you having a "ngilo"-free Christmas. More so, Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR) offers an effective team perfect for our holistic dental care - CSPR Repair and Prevent, CSPR original, and Colgate Sensitive Sensifoam.
I'm super ready for a #NgiloFreeChristmaswithColgate! #ColgateRepairandPrevent has been helping me enjoy our family Noche Buena for years now, I can't even remember the last time I had "pangingilo".

Avoid drinking cold drinks to avoid pangingilo.
Using a soft toothbrush is very important with @ColgatePH Sensitive Pro-Relief Repair toothpaste that will help remove or at least lessen the sensitivity of your teeth.
Brush your teeth after every meal and use dental floss to get rid of food stuck in between teeth that can lead to weak and receding gums which cause pangigilo.

February 4, 2022 Craig Eagles @Eags37 InFocus with Craig Eagles Leave a comment
Driven: (of a person) relentlessly compelled by the need to accomplish a goal; very hard-working and ambitious.
Driven perfectly describes Noah Matulu.
Three short years ago Matulu and his brother Joachim played in the Eastern Conference High School Hockey League. Sadly many people believe high school hockey signals the end of the road. For Noah and Joachim Matulu it was just the beginning.
Photo Credit Normand Leger
Matulu's story of perseverance and persistence should be celebrated and should serve as a great reminder to every young aspiring player that it doesn't matter where you play that if you're driven and have the right mindset you can accomplish anything within the game of hockey.
Three years ago before choosing the high school route Matulu was released by the Moncton Flyers. His older brother was also cut by the organization on two separate occasions. Joachim Matulu decided to play for the Northern Moose of the NB/PEI Major Midget AAA League at 15.
The Matulu's chose to tryout for the Flyers after an excellent season at the high school level and ultimately made the team. As they say the rest is history.
Joachim was signed by the Moncton Wildcats as a free agent last season and appeared in few games for the organization.
https://twitter.com/eags37/status/1329152496250593281?s=21 https://twitter.com/Eags37/status/1329152496250593281
Determination and dedication to the game of hockey is deeply engrained in the Matulu brothers DNA.
Noah Matulu was the driving force behind the Moncton Flyers Provincial Championship a season ago. His efforts certainly caught the attention of QMJHL scouts. With adversity comes opportunity and did Noah Matulu ever take advantage of his.
When Flyers 1st line center Luke Patterson went down to injury in Game 1 of the Provincial Finals, Flyers Head Coach John Decorsey decided to move Noah Matulu up the lineup. Matulu was able to showcase his gritty, skilled 200 ft game which became a phenomenal storyline for the series. Matulu's confidence soared in his new role with the team.
All some young players need is an opportunity. Many of those players are prepared to take full advantage of it because of their work ethic and dedication to the craft. Unfortunately, those opportunities don't always come their way.
You see Noah Matulu has earned every opportunity in the game. He has fought and clawed his way to the QMJHL.
The Rimouski Oceanic organization have a knack at signing tremendously impactful free agents.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Matulu was invited to camp and added to their protected list rather quickly during the summer months.
Serge Beausoliel and his scouting staff continue to make fantastic decisions when it comes to identifying players that can help the organization in the present and future.
Matulu was also selected 7th overall by the Edmundston Blizzard of the Maritime Hockey League in June's entry draft.
In 2 games at the Junior A level the highly skilled versatile forward has a goal and an assist. All signs pointed to Matulu playing in the MHL this season, but the decision was made to return to the Flyers for another championship run and a potential run for the TELUS Cup.
Matulu's game continues to evolve, as he has played the bulk of the 2021-2022 campaign on the wing. Nevertheless, the 17 year old is a natural center that possesses great edge control, agility and vision. His puck skills and ability to create time and space in traffic will certainly translate to the next level. His release continues to improve and at the Midget level is purely lethal. It's his determination and compete level that continues to be a difference maker and sets him apart from many players in the U-18 AAA league.
Free agents signees come and go. Many players are added and subsequently removed from protected lists all of the time in the QMJHL. Once again with adversity, comes opportunity for Noah Matulu.
As reported the Oceanic have been hit hard by COVID-19 with as many as 12 players in protocol.
The call to action went out for Matulu as the organization is preparing to play a series of games this weekend.
Noah Matulu's childhood dream to play in the QMJHL is about to come true.
It's truly an inspirational story if you look at all the stops a long the way, but this isn't the end, it's just the beginning.
You see all players like Noah Matulu need is one opportunity to prove they belong.
That opportunity might be with the Oceanic or it might be with another organization, but it will definitely come to a player like Matulu.
Free agents like Matulu often need one break, one person, a scout or an organization to believe in them.
Say what you want to say, but Noah Matulu has pro potential. Some people may strongly disagree with my evaluation and assessment, but the growth I've seen in his game over the years is on a very intriguing trajectory.
It doesn't matter where you played, it's all about the present, the next opportunity to showcase your talents.
Some aspiring players/ free agents are driven to prove people wrong, some are driven to prove people right.
For Noah Matulu it's all about proving it to himself that he belongs in the QMJHL, which he does.
Driven perfectly describes Noah Matulu, don't believe me, just watch and you will see.

Singing To An Ocean: Firefly Bicycles for Eric Bones
A few years ago, messenger/artist/entrepreneur Eric Bones collaborated with fellow Bostonians Firefly Bicycles on The Bones Project: an exhibition of custom-painted stainless steel bikes. More recently, Eric has been back at the Firefly workshop; this time to pick up his own custom Firefly.
Eric has been moving ahead with his Ocean operation, which is a 'team' of sorts. A skilled designer, he's conceived a range of jerseys, bib shorts, and accessories that will be used to dress some riders in the Red Hook and the Wolfpack Crit series. Remember his Circle A-painted Cervélo S2? Well, this is the new company vehicle.
With the unlimited potential a custom frame offers, crystallising exactly what role it will fulfil can take some time. Working out the technical details can take even longer. The conceptualisation process took Eric about two years before he was ready to talk to Kevin Wolfson, one of the original founders of Firefly Bicycles.
There was already a specific road and track bike in Eric's stable, so his Firefly would fill the gap between his dirt and gravel road excursions, and his cyclocross racing. The result was a personalised interpretation of Firefly's All-Road offering: a predominantly titanium frame — Firefly's speciality — with a carbon seat tube.
The construction is impeccable, as you'd expect. The 'stacks of dimes' around each join result in a frame that looks as though it's going to withstand a lifetime's worth of abuse and, even though this is Eric's first titanium frame, he will already testify to its light, strong and responsive attributes.
The Parlee disc 'cross fork is an option available with the Firefly All-Road, as is the Integrated Seat Post, which also happens to be Eric's favourite feature: "Nothing says custom", he says, "like a bike that's really hard to sell! But don't worry, this thing isn't going anywhere, ever."
The top tube and stem are covered with the katakana elements of the Ocean label, while the ISP and down tube are decorated with the other motifs that appear on both the brand's outfits and the Cervélo. Eric states that it's the most dialled bike in his stable, and I've got a feeling it's going to be his favourite.

Just Before Your Bella Naija Wedding, Tick These 5 Must Have Traits In Your Partner.
Dear Sister, he asked. You said yes. Or you asked him and he said yes. Maybe, he didn't ask you and you didn't ask him but you went to Idumota to buy ring. (I didn't say anything o! Just minding my business!) Let' assume everything is perfect for that happily ever after wedding. Hollup, one sec! Just before you say I do, check out these 5 must have traits in a partner.
Is he/she capable of staying forever?
In this day and age of Indomie marriage, you need a partner that can weather the storm with you…In sickness and in health…For richer, for poorer. These days, trifle things break up marriages especially among partners who are not willing to trash out issues like adults.
Ask yourself: Am I really going to spend my life with this person? Am I going be comfortable waking up to him/her everyday? How do I feel about morning breath, joint bank accounts, change of name and babies? These are important questions you must ask before you get married.
P.S: I did not say go and die in a marriage o. Once it enters DV or unfaithfulness, please carry your bag and waka.
Believe me, the last thing you need is a drama queen or drama king using pestle to pursue you upandan. A calm temperament is one to look out for in a partner. While people have their off-days, it shouldn't be a habit. Friends fight but be absolutely sure it won't be over trivial issues like what to name the baby and which grandmother gets to see the baby first. Be sure that you can bounce back after the quarrels! Marriage without play play fight, is that one marriage?
How materialistic is your partner?
Deep down, we all like beta thing! Who poverty epp? However, marrying a materialistic partner who is after the gifts and favors he or she can receive(without helping to make the money) is not a wise choice. Have money discussions. Are there clear cut plans on who is going to take care of the bills? Is it going to be 50-50 or 70-30 or 100-0? What of wedding expenses and family upkeep? Believe me, you don't want money squabbles after the wedding. Marry a partner not a leech. Shey, you know that umu nwoke can be leeches too?
What kind of family does he/she come from?
Great markers highlighted here. But there are reasons people overlook that, sometimes. When someone is already old, or too old as our society puts it, most of these things might not be considered again.
But in ideal situation, these are very very vital to achieving a successful marital life.

Q: Replace multiple char in one statement I want to replace the following chars with their corresponding values (from the dictionary) in one string:
dictVal =
{
'a' : 'W',
'p' : 2,
'd' : 5
}

Is there a more elegant way of doing this instead of iterating over ever key of the dictionary?
For example:
input string = 'Please help me'
output string = 'PleWse hel2 me'

Thanks.

A: You do not need to iterate over the dictionary, you can simply iterate over the string and check if the character is present in the dictionary.
# using d as the variable instead of dict because dict is a keyword
d = {'a': 'W', 'p': 2, 'd': 5}
s = "Please help me"
new_s = ""

for c in s:
    # str(...) because you have numbers as values in the dictionary
    new_s += str(d.get(c, c))

# Output: PleWse hel2 me
print(new_s)

Or, you can use a list comprehension like this:
new_s = ''.join(str(char_mapping.get(c, c)) for c in s)

For the prompt detection of incorrect thickness of aluminium strips, optoNCDT laser triangulation sensors are used as modern alternative solution to isotopic measuring systems. At the measurement location, the sensors are mounted opposite to each other, above and below the conveyed aluminium strip. Regardless of the exact height position of the strip, the sensors provide the exact material thickness based on a simple distance signal coupling, F=Ref. - (A + B).


Pallas Athena and the heroes of Greece 20mm by Ben90!
Tough competition and hard choice in every round. Congratulations to all participants but most to the winner. Well deserved gold brush.
As usual it was a great and fun competition! Just waiting for the next one!
I have to congratulate you with Pallas Athena and the Heroes of Greece. It is incredible good painting work! And the finishing and decoration of the vignette is prefect too. Clothing patterns, shieldpatterns, the bandage of the sitting man and the broken shield of the sparabara Persian, it is all of the highest quality.
Mr. Andrea and Konrad, my compliments for your work too!
It's been great fun again. I really like looking at those red bars running after each other. My big congrats to the winner: the level of details and painting quality is amazing. A well deserved victory.
To tell it wit DBA, cavalry vs spears, if combat result is less than the enemy, but more than half of it, cavalry recoisl.
Konrad, great and colorful entry. I like how you travel in space and time with your figures.
Special credit shall be given to Peter's skeleton. A wooden spoon that deserved more for such a historical figure. Well painted by the way.
Hello Andrea, I was sure that the dragoon was your entry. Well done, once more. And Konrad has done something in another scale that was surprising me. But big applause for Ben90. A wonderful work that deserve a Golden Brush. And please tell us: What figures you have used for this work.
Congratulations and respect for this great work .
One of the best dragoons that i see so far.
Thanx for everyone who voted for me.
nice and funny competition,congratulations for all.
I voted for your entry to win. While the Pallas Athena was a worthy entry to be sure, I favored your horse and rider because the coloring, shading, shadows and details you captured were superior. Purely as a painting competition entry, yours was my choice. Very well done.
Congrats to all as every piece above is certainly brilliant in their own right. Between the figure painting and the basing there is some amazing skill on display here.
It was a pleasure participating in the one as always.

Commentary / Stop treating students like children
By Frank Furedi
Something very strange is going on in universities. Back in February, after speaking at a conference on academic freedom organised by the Harry Crowe Foundation in Toronto, I was confronted by words of despair from a young Canadian lecturer. She told me that I was lucky to have gone through the experiences of the 1960s and 1970s because many contemporary academics are no longer motivated by the values that underpin the ideal of a free and open academic culture.
I could only agree: the culture that prevails in universities today bears only a superficial resemblance to that of the 1960s.
When I became an undergraduate at McGill University in 1965, radicalism and risk-taking expressed the mood of the times. Universities were far more tolerant of diverse views and opinions than the rest of society. In 1968, we organised occupations and demonstrations that aimed to open McGill up to new influences and new ideas. Some of my peers in the Students' Union Collective produced an illegal publication, titled The Birth Control Handbook, which helped millions of young people to question existing taboos.
This ethos of "question everything" also encouraged us to start debates on the existing content and structure of modules in the social sciences, which led to the publication of an alternative course guide.
When I arrived in London in 1969 to do postgraduate work at Soas, University of London, the atmosphere of radicalism and protest felt very familiar.
Openness to new ideas led to clashes of views that would today result in some asking for a "safe space." Instead of demanding that speakers with "objectionable" views be "no-platformed," many of us learned the art of heckling.
Of course, the 1960s campus ethos of "anything goes" was always a bit of a myth, but it stands in stark contrast to the contemporary conformist imperatives of "mind your language" and "take care how you behave." With regard to many of the fundamental ideals that are classically associated with a democratic sensibility — tolerance, freedom of speech, diversity of views — campuses have adopted practices that are less liberal than those that prevail in wider society.
Conventional commentary locates the origins of the current culture of intolerance in higher education in the upheaval of the 1960s. There are, of course, elements of continuity between the phase of 1960s radicalism and the rhetoric of campus activists today, but the differences are far more significant.
The 1960s radicals organised free-speech movements and regarded any form of censorship as unacceptable. They were rule breakers rather than rule creators, and they refused to recognise the right of university administrators to exercise any authority over their behaviour. They sometimes attempted to open up their institutions to the out- side community. Contemporary activists, by contrast, are often at the forefront of demanding "safe spaces" in order to insulate students from uncomfortable pressures.
Perhaps the most striking contrast between the student protesters in the 1960s and 1970s and those of today is their attitude to- wards interpersonal relationships. The 1960s ethos of experimentation has given way to the attitude that personal relations need to be micromanaged and policed. Many universities now offer classes on consent that purport to provide "transparent" rules on pursuing sexual relations by the book.
In the 1960s and 1970s, radical students boasted of their power to change the world. Student protesters today project a very different image of themselves. They often draw attention to their victim status, flaunt their sensitivity to offence and constantly talk about themselves and their feelings. One of the most significant changes in campus culture has been its infantilisation. In 1997, when I wrote my book Culture of Fear, I drew attention to what I saw as an unexpected novel phenomenon: "In the 1960s and 1970s, most students associated going to universities with the idea of breaking away from their parents. Many would have been self-conscious and embarrassed to be seen in the company of adults on cam- pus. During the past decade, a major change in practice has taken place. Students now arrive on campus to be interviewed with their parents."
Today, this is no longer even an issue for discussion. When universities produce brochures for parents and organise their open days with a view to interesting mothers and fathers in their courses, the sight of adults accompanying their children on campuses has become a regular occurrence. It is now seen as an act of responsible parenting — and that is because undergraduates are no longer regarded as young adults capable of exercising their independence.
It is worth noting that until the 1960s and, in some cases, the 1970s, the doctrine of in loco parentis prevailed on Anglo-American campuses. Its demise was the consequence of radical protest for greater freedom and individual rights. However, since the 1980s, there has been a growing tendency for academic institutions to resume a paternalistic role, treating students as incapable of exercising the responsibilities associated with adulthood.
Many of the illiberal, paternalistic policies that are now promoted in universities are justified on grounds that are akin to those used in child protection. Take arguments used by administrators to protect students from the disturbing effects of sensitive subjects. Official guidelines assume that sensitive topics — which relate to "distressing life events and situations" — may be harmful to some students and, therefore, should be taught differently from "non-sensitive" ones. Is it any surprise that many academics have decided to "watch their words" and, in some cases, avoid the hassle of teaching sensitive topics altogether?
The academy could do far worse than re- appropriate some of the spirit of the 1960s. It needs to challenge trends that encourage the micromanagement of academic life — and learn again to treat students as adults rather than children.

IN CONVERSATION WITH THE FOUNDERS OF 'HIDDEN TREASURES', A WINTER SHOW, PRESENTING DIVERSE PRODUCTS ON 13TH & 14TH OCTOBER AT SMS CONVENTION CENTRE, JAIPUR.
The one-of-kind Lifestyle show—'Hidden Treasures' is back for its 2nd edition in Jaipur on 13 and 14 October at SMS Convention Centre. The show will be home to as many as 100 exhibitors including numerous fashion labels, start-ups, eco & organic brands, NGOs, food and beverage outlets, among many others.
From well-acclaimed fashion designers to budding entrepreneurs and hidden talents from all over the country as well as international beauty products, 'Hidden Treasures' will be an exclusive platform for all. The show has been curated and conceptualised by entrepreneur-duo, Richa Singh and Saloni Bhandari.
Day before yesterday, I got a chance to meet with Richa Singh and Saloni Bhandari. I was a little more curious to know about them and thus, I am presenting an excerpt from that insightful conversation.
Sonalify : So what is the history behind HT? How did it all start?
Richa : That's such a lovely question but I have to tell you that we have no history. You know, if you talk about when did we start, but we are so young.. so young, that it's unbelievable and yes, of course it's been just seven to eight months that we started out. We had our first show in February that was in Jaipur. We had another show in April that was in Udaipur and this is going to be our third show, so yes we are THAT YOUNG!
Then, we just started and we kept the name also quite simple. Since we were discovering hidden things so, we just called it 'Hidden Treasures', and within a week we were already booked with one of the exhibitors.
Sonalify : Are you thinking of expanding too?
Richa : YES! (A quick answer came) We are going to have a very regular calendar and we are planning to visit cities and towns, and you never know, we might go International someday. We are just taking baby steps.
Saloni : There is nothing like exploring things and then, suddenly you realise that, yes! this is what you wanted to do. That's the beauty of your passion that day and night, you just think about how to expand and grow your work.
Sonalify : Your sweetest memory related to HT?
Richa : We think that we are discovering this every day.. every hour.. every minute while talking and selecting the exhibitors. The research in this work does not bore us. We never get settled down with something and say, This is it! This keeps us going and adding to our sweet memories.
Saloni : You know when people write to us.. when kids write to us.. when you have people who are looking for a platform and they come to you, It humbles us and make us feel that WOW they are actually looking for us.. It's a very humbling feeling!!! So every day is a new memory! Every day we feel like.. Yes!! This is happening to us! So, I think that we have so many sweet memories.
Sonalify : Last but not the least, would you like to give any advice to those women who want to start something on their own?
Richa : I would say that if you want to do any work then, you should immediately start. TODAY.. NOW.. AT THIS MOMENT!!!! Without any fear and without any doubt. There are lot of opportunities available around the world. You just have to be determined to begin and the moment you begin, believe me you are going to rock!!
Saloni : I think you have to follow your passion. Do whatever makes you happy because when there is a passion in your work then, there is a sense of being truthful to yourself and towards your work. And for the first time, I am working on this level, previously, I have done only voluntary jobs. I have never worked professionally but, I think it's never too late. I am in my 40s. You surprise yourself and others a lot, by learning new things. And as Richa said, there is no tomorrow.. there is just NOW!!! It can be little but you just have to start and someday you will reach heights.
I must say that it was a wonderful knowing both Saloni and Richa. Their journey and words are quite inspiring.
The show will include bespoke handicrafts, finest fabrics, elegant accessories and elaborate jewellery. Our first edition in Jaipur was followed by a show in Udaipur and now Hidden Treasures will also travel to Jodhpur and Indore.
Some of the highlights for the 'Winter Show' in Jaipur are – resplendent creations in Lehariya by Padmashree awardee, M. Tayeb Khan of Jodhpur; international beauty brands like OPI and Kevin Murphy brought by Tangerine; recycling and waste management service, Daily Dump from Bangalore; bold yet quirky jewellery by celebrity fashion jewellery designer, Radhika Agrawal; fresh organic produce from Katori Fresh and many more, added the organisers.
Themed on hues of pink and red, the show will also feature live music performances as well as lip-smacking eats and drinks as an added attraction for all the avid shoppers.

Software Engineer working on Chrome DevTools at Google
As you might know, Chrome DevTools is a web application written using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Over the years, DevTools has gotten more feature-rich, smarter and knowledgeable about the broader web platform. While DevTools has expanded over the years, its architecture largely resembles the original architecture when it was still part of WebKit.
This post is part of a series of blog posts describing the changes we are making to DevTools' architecture and how it is built. We will explain how DevTools has historically worked, what the benefits and limitations were and what we have done to alleviate these limitations. Therefore, let's dive deep into module systems, how to load code and how we ended up using JavaScript modules.
In the beginning, there was nothing
While the current frontend landscape has a variety of module systems with tools built around them, as well as the now-standardized JavaScript modules format, none of these existed when DevTools was first built. DevTools is built on top of code that initially shipped in WebKit more than 12 years ago.
The first mention of a module system in DevTools stems from 2012: the introduction of a list of modules with an associated list of sources. This was part of the Python infrastructure used back then to compile and build DevTools. A follow-up change extracted all modules into a separate frontend_modules.json file (commit) in 2013 and then into separate module.json files (commit) in 2014.
An example module.json file:
"dependencies": [
"common"
"scripts": [
"StylePane.js",
"ElementsPanel.js"
Since 2014, the module.json pattern has been used in DevTools to specify its modules and source files. Meanwhile, the web ecosystem rapidly evolved and multiple module formats were created, including UMD, CommonJS and the eventually standardized JavaScript modules. However, DevTools stuck with the module.json format.
While DevTools remained working, there were a couple of downsides of using a non-standardized and unique module system:
The module.json format required custom build tooling, akin to modern bundlers.
There was no IDE integration, which required custom tooling to generate files modern IDEs could understand (the original script to generate jsconfig.json files for VS Code).
Functions, classes and objects were all put on the global scope to make sharing between modules possible.
Files were order-dependent, meaning the order in which sources were listed was important. There was no guarantee that code you rely on would be loaded, other than that a human had verified it.
All in all, when evaluating the current state of the module system in DevTools and the other (more widely used) module formats, we concluded that the module.json pattern was creating more problems than it solved and it was time to plan our move away from it.
The benefits of standards
Out of the existing module systems, we chose JavaScript modules as the one to migrate to. At the time of that decision JavaScript modules were still shipping behind a flag in Node.js and a large amount of packages available on NPM did not have an JavaScript modules bundle we could use. Despite this, we concluded that JavaScript modules were the best option.
The primary benefit of JavaScript modules is that it is the standardized module format for JavaScript. When we listed the downsides of the module.json (see above), we realized that almost all of them were related to using a non-standardized and unique module format.
Choosing a module format that is non-standardized means that we have to invest time ourselves into building integrations with the build tools and tools our maintainers used.
These integrations often were brittle and lacked support for features, requiring additional maintenance time, sometimes leading to subtle bugs that would eventually ship to users.
Since JavaScript modules were the standard, it meant that IDEs like VS Code, type checkers like Closure Compiler/TypeScript and build tools like Rollup/minifiers would be able to understand the source code we wrote. Moreover, when a new maintainer would join the DevTools team, they would not have to spend time learning a proprietary module.json format, whereas they would (likely) already be familiar with JavaScript modules.
Of course, when DevTools was initially built, none of the above benefits existed. It took years of work in standards groups, runtime implementations and developers using JavaScript modules providing feedback to get to the point where they are now. But when JavaScript modules became available we had a choice to make: either keep maintaining our own format, or invest in migrating to the new one.
The cost of the shiny new
Even though JavaScript modules had plenty of benefits that we would like to use, we remained in the non-standard module.json world. Reaping the benefits of JavaScript modules meant that we had to significantly invest in cleaning up technical debt, performing a migration that could potentially break features and introduce regression bugs.
At this point, it was not a question of "Do we want to use JavaScript modules?", but a question of "How expensive is it to be able to use JavaScript modules?". Here, we had to balance the risk of breaking our users with regressions, the cost of engineers spending (a large amount of) time migrating and the temporary worse state we would work in.
That last point turned out to be very important. Even though we could in theory get to JavaScript modules, during a migration we would end up with code that would have to take into account both module.json and JavaScript modules. Not only was this technically difficult to achieve, it also meant that all engineers working on DevTools would need to know how to work in this environment. They would have to continuously ask themselves "For this part of the codebase, is it module.json or JavaScript modules and how do I make changes?".
Sneak peek: The hidden cost of guiding our fellow maintainers through a migration was bigger than we anticipated.
After the cost analysis, we concluded that it was still worthwhile to migrate to JavaScript modules. Therefore, our main goals were the following:
Make sure that the usage of JavaScript modules reaps the benefits to the fullest extent possible.
Make sure that the integration with the existing module.json-based system is safe and does not lead to negative user impact (regression bugs, user frustration).
Guide all DevTools maintainers through the migration, primarily with checks and balances built-in to prevent accidental mistakes.
Spreadsheets, transformations and technical debt
While the goal was clear, the limitations imposed by the module.json format proved to be difficult to workaround. It took several iterations, prototypes and architectural changes before we developed a solution we were comfortable with. We wrote a design doc with the migration strategy we ended up. The design doc also listed our initial time estimation: 2-4 weeks.
Spoiler alert: the most intensive part of the migration took 4 months and from start to finish took 7 months!
The initial plan, however, stood the test of time: we would teach the DevTools runtime to load all files listed in the scripts array in the module.json file using the old way, while all files in listed in the modules array with JavaScript modules dynamic import. Any file that would reside in the modules array would be able to use ES imports/exports.
Additionally, we would perform the migration in 2 phases (we eventually split up the last phase into 2 sub-phases, see below): the export- and import-phases. The status of which module would be in which phase was tracked in a large spreadsheet:
A snippet of the progress sheet is publicly available here.
export-phase
The first phase would be to add export-statements for all symbols that were supposed to be shared between modules/files. The transformation would be automated, by running a script per folder. Given the following symbol would exist in the module.json world:
Module.File1.exported = function() {
console.log('exported');
Module.File1.localFunctionInFile();
Module.File1.localFunctionInFile = function() {
console.log('Local');
(Here, Module is the name of the module and File1 the name of the file. In our sourcetree, that would be front_end/module/file1.js.)
This would be transformed to the following:
export function exported() {
export function localFunctionInFile() {
/** Legacy export object */
Module.File1 = {
exported,
localFunctionInFile,
Initially, our plan was to rewrite same-file imports during this phase as well. For example, in the above example we would rewrite Module.File1.localFunctionInFile to localFunctionInFile. However, we realized that it would be easier to automate and safer to apply if we separated these two transformations. Therefore, the "migrate all symbols in the same file" would become the second sub-phase of the import-phase.
Since adding the export keyword in a file transforms the file from a "script" to a "module", a lot of the DevTools infrastructure had to be updated accordingly. This included the runtime (with dynamic import), but also tools like ESLint to run in module mode.
One discovery we made while working through these issues is that our tests were running in "sloppy" mode. Since JavaScript modules imply that files run in "use strict" mode, this would also affect our tests. As it turned out, a non-trivial amount of tests were relying on this sloppiness, including a test that used a with-statement 😱.
In the end, updating the very first folder to include export-statements took about a week and multiple attempts with relands.
import-phase
After all symbols are both exported using export-statements and remained on the global scope (legacy), we had to update all references to cross-file symbols to use ES imports. The end goal would be to remove all "legacy export objects", cleaning up the global scope. The transformation would be automated, by running a script per folder.
For example, for the following symbols that exist in the module.json world:
Module.File1.exported();
AnotherModule.AnotherFile.alsoExported();
SameModule.AnotherFile.moduleScoped();
They would be transformed to:
import * as Module from '../module/Module.js';
import * as AnotherModule from '../another_module/AnotherModule.js';
import {moduleScoped} from './AnotherFile.js';
moduleScoped();
However, there were some caveats with this approach:
Not every symbol was named as Module.File.symbolName. Some symbols were named solely Module.File or even Module.CompletelyDifferentName. This inconsistency meant that we had to create an internal mapping from the old global object to the new imported object.
Sometimes there would be clashes between moduleScoped names. Most prominently, we used a pattern of declaring certain types of Events, where each symbol was named just Events. This meant that if you were listening for multiple types of events declared in different files, a nameclash would occur on the import-statement for those Events.
As it turned out, there were circular dependencies between files. This was fine in a global scope context, as the usage of the symbol was after all code was loaded. However, if you require an import, the circular dependency would be made explicit. This isn't a problem immediately, unless you have side-effect function calls in your global scope code, which DevTools also had. All in all, it required some surgery and refactoring to make the transformation safe.
A whole new world with JavaScript modules
In February 2020, 6 months after the start in September 2019, the last cleanups were performed in the ui/ folder. This marked the unofficial end to the migration. After letting the dust settle down, we officially marked the migration as finished on March 5th 2020. 🎉
Now, all modules in DevTools use JavaScript modules to share code. We still put some symbols on the global scope (in the module-legacy.js files) for our legacy tests or to integrate with other parts of the DevTools architecture. These will be removed over time, but we don't consider them a blocker for future development. We also have a style guide for our usage of JavaScript modules.
Conservative estimates for the number of CLs (abbreviation for changelist - the term used in Gerrit that represents a change - similar to a GitHub pull request) involved in this migration are around 250 CLs, largely performed by 2 engineers. We don't have definitive statistics on the size of changes made, but a conservative estimate of lines changed (calculated as the sum of absolute difference between insertions and deletions for each CL) is roughly 30,000 (~20% of all of DevTools frontend code).
The first file using export shipped in Chrome 79, released to stable in December 2019. The last change to migrate to import shipped in Chrome 83, released to stable in May 2020.
We are aware of one regression that shipped to Chrome stable and that was introduced as part of this migration. The auto-completion of snippets in the command menu broke due to an extraneous default export. We have had several other regressions, but our automated test suites and Chrome Canary users reported these and we fixed them before they were able to reach Chrome stable users.
You can see the full journey (not all CLs are attached to this bug, but most of them are) logged on crbug.com/1006759.
Decisions made in the past can have a long-lasting impact on your project. Even though JavaScript modules (and other module formats) were available for quite some time, DevTools was not in a position to justify the migration. Deciding when to and when not to migrate is difficult and based on educated guesses.
Our initial time estimates were in weeks rather than months. This largely stems from the fact that we found more unexpected problems than we anticipated in our initial cost analysis. Even though the migration plan was solid, technical debt was (more often than we would have liked) the blocker.
The JavaScript modules migration included a large amount of (seemingly unrelated) technical debt cleanups. The migration to a modern standardized module format allowed us to realign our coding best practices with modern day web development. For example, we were able to replace our custom Python bundler with a minimal Rollup configuration.
Despite the large impact on our codebase (~20% of code changed), very few regressions were reported. While we did have numerous issues migrating the first couple of files, after a while we had a solid, partially automated, workflow. This meant that negative user impact for our stable users was minimal for this migration.
Teaching the intricacies of a particular migration to fellow maintainers is difficult and sometimes impossible. Migrations of this scale are difficult to follow and require a lot of domain knowledge. Transferring that domain knowledge to others working in the same codebase is not desirable per se for the job they are doing. Knowing what to share and what details not to share is an art, but a necessary one. It is therefore crucial to reduce the amount of large migrations, or at the very least not perform them at the same time.

A lot of people will probably tell you to visit the Jordaan area in Amsterdam. People told me the same when I just moved to Amsterdam. I tried but I never got the idea I'd fully discovered the Jordaan because I always got lost. Now I know, that is the secret of enjoying the Jordaan.
Consisting of a bunch of street names that are difficult to pronounce, the Jordaan is even more difficult to explore when you try to follow the map. So please, stop following your map and walk around. I find the Brouwersgracht to be quite a good starting point. From there, just walk around. I could give you names of streets worth visiting, but let your feet do the talking. If you find that hard, make it into a game like always take the 2nd street to the right, and always the first to the left and so on.
I have spent hours walking around, stopping at a cafe for a coffee and apple pie (this is how I found Winkel 43 (check the Cafe Winkel 43 article), or eating a sandwich while sitting alongside one of the canals. Wake up early to see the city wake up, walk in the sun during the afternoon or wander around the nicely lit streets and houses.
This part of Amsterdam is best explored by getting lost, finding a great cafe or restaurant, only to never find it again. Pack some lunch, a bottle of water (or wine) and just walk around.


Creates a link to another data dictionary from the current database connection, optionally making the link a global link that is available to all users connected to the database.
Name of the link to create. This name is used in SQL statements to reference the tables associated with the linked data dictionary.
Path to the data dictionary that will be linked to the active connection. The path can be either a full UNC path or a relative path based on the connection path of current connection.
Specifies the link alias as available to all users connecting to this data dictionary. All information needed to re-create this link is stored in the data dictionary. This option is only valid if the current connection has administrative permissions. By default, this option is turned off, and the link created is local to the current connection.
This option can be only True when the Global parameter is also True. It determines whether the relative or full path of the linked data dictionary is stored in the current database. If True the full path of the linked data dictionary is stored in the data dictionary. It is suggested that the UNC path should be supplied in the Dictionary parameter when this option is specified.
Specifies that the user name and password of the current connection be used for authenticating to the linked data dictionary as well. When False the UserName and Password parameters will be used for authentication into the linked data dictionary regardless of the current connection's user name and password.
User name to use for authentication with the data dictionary being linked to. This parameter is ignored if the AuthenticateActiveUser is True.
Password to use for authentication with the data dictionary being linked to. This parameter is ignored if the AuthenticateActiveUser is True.
This error will be returned if a local or global link with an identical alias already exists on the current connection. If creating a global link, this error will be returned if the link name is already used for other objects, such as tables, views or stored procedures, in the database.
This function creates a named link to another data dictionary on the current connection. The name can then be used in SQL statements to reference tables in the linked data dictionary. The permissions to the tables in the linked data dictionary are determined by the user name that is used to authenticate into the linked data dictionary.
If the link alias is made global, the link alias is available to all authorized users of the database. Granting or revoking user or group permissions to the link alias can control access to the link.
Make a connection to the database MASTER.ADD, create a link to the ARCHIVE.ADD, and update a table in the MASTER database with values from a table in ARCHIVE database.

Mullus surmuletus, comummente conhecido como salmonete e salmonete-legítimo,  é uma espécie de peixe ósseo da família dos mulídeos.

Taxonomia
A espécie foi descrita por Lineu, em 1758.

O nome genérico, Mullus, trata-se do nome latino, herdado já desde o período romano, para se referir ao salmonete.

Ao passo que o epiteto específico, surmuletus, resulta da aglutinação do prefixo sur, que vem do francês antigo sor e significa «avermelhado», com o étimo latino medieval muletus, que também se referia ao salmonete. Em suma, surmuletus, significa «salmonete avermelhado» e terá sido o epiteto escolhido por Lineu para ressaltar a coloração deste peixe.

Descrição
O salmonete caracteriza-se pelo epónimo dorso carmesim e ventre rosado, estriado por 3 riscas amareladas, que se espraiam longitudinalmente ao longo do corpo. Além da cabeça, de perfil oblíquo, destaca-se pelos barbilhos, que são maiores  dos que as barbatanas peitorais e pela primeira barbatana dorsal, exornada com manchas mais escuras na membrana interradial.

Em média, varia entre os vinte e os vinte e cinco centímetros de comprimento, se bem que há o relato de espécimes adultos que chegaram aos quarenta centímetros. O peso máximo alguma vez registado num espécime adulto foi um quilo. O espécime mais velho alguma vez registado tinha 11 anos.

Distribuição
Distribui-se ao longo de todo o Atlântico Nordeste, sendo certo que é raro encontrá-lo no Mar do Norte, sensivelmente até à costa senegalesa. Encontra-se ainda no Mar Mediterrâneo e no Mar Negro.

Habitat
Privilegia os fundos rochosos, arenosos e lodosos a profundidades inferiores aos 100 metros. Costumam refugiar-se nas cercanias das reentrâncias formadas pelos rochedos junto à areia.

Hábitos
Trata-se de uma espécie gregária, que se reúne em cardumes. Costumam reproduzir-se de Maio a Julho, no Atlântico, e de Março a Julho, no Mediterrâneo. Os ovos e as larvas são pelágicos, por natureza, sendo que os espécimes juvenis permanecem nas imediações da coluna de água e só se mudam para as profundezas marinhas quando atingem a maioridade.

É uma espécie mormente noctívaga, pelo que, durante o dia, se deixa ficar praticamente inactivo, caçando e alimentando-se só durante a noite.

Dieta

Os salmonetes fazem uma dieta à base de bentos, o que inclui, além dos peixes bentónicos, moluscos, camarões, poliquetas e anfípodes.

Serve-se dos barbilhos, que são órgãos sensoriais, para vasculhar a areia do fundo marinho e descobrir as presas. Ao remexer a areia de maneira insistente, o salmonete levanta uma nebulosa de partículas à sua volta, a qual atrai outras espécies predadoras oportunistas, que, por seu turno, aproveitam para se alimentarem dos pequenos vertebrados que vão ficando na esteira da passagem do salmonete.

Pesca
Na pesca ao salmonete é comum usar-se vermes anelídeos como engodo. Sendo ainda de assinalar que, ao morder o anzol, a picada do salmonete é pouco perceptível, o que pede uma maior atenção do pescador. Em contrapartida, o salmonete não costuma oferecer muita resistência, quando se recolhe a linha.

O tamanho mínimo legal de captura, nos conformes da lei portuguesa, é de 18 centímetros.

Consumo humano
A sua carne é saborosa, tendo um forte sabor de camarão, e no comércio o seu preço é elevado, normalmente superior ao robalo, sargo e dourada.

Há relatos da Antiguidade romana de que o salmonete, pescado na Sicília e na Córsega, era muito prezado, orçando preços altíssimos. Há o caso notável, registado por Séneca nas Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, de como Públio Octávio e Apício se terão porfiado no mercado, numa batalha de licitações, por causa de um salmonete de enormes dimensões, com quase dois quilos, tendo Octávio saído vitorioso ao pagar a muito considerável quantia de cinco mil sestércios.

Há ainda o relato de Suetónio de uma queixa proferida pelo imperador Tibério, a respeito da compra de três salmonetes pela quantia exorbitante de trinta mil sestércios.

Players will not be able to unlock feats that they have not already unlocked on at least one character on the account.
Players will not be able to unlock feats they would not normally be able to see in the UI.
This means regular feat-earning rules apply. For example, a Flight character cannot unlock Acrobatics feats.
Players will not be able to unlock some feats that are role or alignment-specific.
With Game Update 34 we are adding new items to Tier 1, 2, and 4 vendors in the Watchtower and Hall of Doom. Players will be able to fill out their gear sets by purchasing this equipment using Marks of Triumph. These items are Neckpieces, Rings, Breakout Trinkets, and Weapons of all 11 types.
With Game Update 34, we have added new map markers to the Watchtower and Hall of Doom! These include markers for Tier PvE, Tier PvP, Mark Conversion, and Style Vendors. Head to your HQ to check it out!
Fury and Guardian pets have been given a visual and mechanical overhaul with Game Update 34! In addition to the pet updates, we've added a new power and reworked an old ability to provide additional pet benefits!
Summon Fury used to be.
Soul Barrage – The ability launches 5 deadly soul projectiles at your enemies, damaging them in quick succession and knocking them down. This ability becomes available at level 8 in the Summoning tree.
Offering – This is now a utility ability that applies an absorption shield to your pet in non-PvP zones as well as restores their power. Keeping your pet powered-up is important and allows them to use their potent special abilities.
-The Guardian is now a flying Brawler.
-The Guardian's primary function is to taunt all mobs around him, and keep them off his owner.
-The Guardian has a special taunt ability that he will use at times when his owner's health drops below 50%.
-The Guardian's taunt is weaker than most player ability taunts and requires power for the Guardian to cast.
-The fury is now a flying Hand Blaster.
-His primary function is to use damage abilities on his owner's target.
-The Fury's special abilities deal additional damage while Red Soul Aura is active.
-The Fury's highly damaging special abilities require the owner to be in Damage Role and they require Power for the Fury to cast them.
Battle it out in our all new Capture and Hold map, The Moon! Our new map is 5v5 and is available for both Legends and Arena PvP.
New War of the Light Part I (DLC 9) Feats!
With War of the Light Part I DLC, we introduced a new type of Bounty and Wanted mission in which players are not directed to a single Bounty or Wanted target, but rather are directed to an area where multiple Bounty or Wanted targets have a chance to appear.
These Bounties now have all new Feats for Heroes and Villains! Five in all, look under War of the Light Part I in your Feats menu for Mist Opportunity, Mist List, and Misted Menaces!
New Marketplace Weapon Style Packs!

Thanks for fixes. Have you had any problems with ps3 controllers turning off by themselves start button inventory being brought up on the screen by itself? Wanted to make sure before I bought new controller.
Used to happen to me, but it was my controller going bad.
Since long league names have been truncated, wonder if they'll invent or permit league name change tickets. Or maybe even, league name change tokens.
Hello I love this website it has helped me out A LOOOT. I'm wondering why it hasnt been updated. Plz update with the new stuff and i want to continue to use this website in the future.


We know that Coral are busy bookmakers when it comes to providing enhanced odds offers for new customers and we also know that the prices are generous ones, even with a small fixed stake of £1.00.
However, even by their standards it will be tough to eclipse the 50/1 that they have on Manchester United when they take on Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.
As we all know to our cost, there is no such thing as a certain bet and we've all seen very hot punts upset by a shock result. However, when you look at the market prices for this match, it's a very clear indicator of where these two teams are at.
United are in second place in the EPL table, just behind their closest rivals Manchester City on goal difference. Jose Mourinho's men are unbeaten and with the signing of Romelu Lukaku they are now scoring freely. How Crystal Palace would love a striker of Lukaku's quality as the Eagles look up from the very bottom of the table having not scored a single goal in six games.
As a result, Manchester United are at best odds of 2/11 with 188Bet to win this game while Palace are way out at a top price of 22/1 with Coral and Ladbrokes.
If you are a new customer to Coral and haven't considered one of their enhanced odds offers before then this could be the one to go for. The first step is to sign up for a new account so head across via the link and register with some basic details.
This is a quick and simple process and when complete you should make a deposit of at least £5.00. Use a debit or credit card if possible as your funds should clear straight away and some eWallets such as Skrill, Neteller and PaySafe are not acceptable and will render this promo null and void.
If the bet doesn't land and United draw with Palace, you will receive a £5.00 free bet token as a consolation with that same 4 day expiry limit.
Those are the main terms but naturally you can check all of the terms and conditions before going ahead to make sure you are happy.
We are all experienced enough to know that nothing is ever certain: Crystal Palace can upset Manchester United but this is a strong promo and if you agree and are new to Coral, it's unlikely that 50/1 on a home win will be bettered.


Just a tiny bit of time spent in a forest exploring and "just being" can result in coming back completely rejuvenated.
Yes! That's exactly how I felt:-) Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and thougths with us.
