REA comments on the 2020 Budget
Sector specific comments on the 2020 Budget
Built Environment, Decarbonising Heat, Decarbonising Power, Decarbonising Transport, employment, preserving natural capital
Frank Gordon, Head of Policy at the REA said:
"It is encouraging to see the Government make an effort to progress and support the decarbonisation of heat by extending the Domestic RHI, consulting on much anticipated Green Gas support measures and introducing a £100 million grant for the installation of heat pumps and biomass, this is vital protection for small business installers which would fall off the cliff edge when the scheme ends in 2021.
"However, we are confused to why the Government would not to grant this extension for Non-Domestic RHI. Small and medium scale projects are equally at risk of collapse without the necessary support. The significant gap between the end of the RHI and the introduction of £100 million grant will see the market contract even further jeopardising our Net Zero target, UK businesses and green jobs.
"The Government must address these issues as a matter of urgency by committing to an extension of the non-domestic RHI and bridging the policy gap expected in 2021."
"It was great to see the Chancellor rightly acknowledge the role renewables are currently playing in the power sector and that with the falling costs renewables – offshore wind, onshore wind and solar being specifically referenced – will likely be the UK's primary source of electricity in combination with other technologies.
"Supporting Carbon Capture Storage clusters, raising the rate on CCL for gas supplies and additional funding for R&D projects are all welcomed policies. Yet none of them provide the high impact results we need to progress the power sector. We would have liked to see the Budget build upon the Contract for Difference announcement made last week by increasing the budget for future auctions, which would open up a route to market for these technologies, and to see measures for energy storage which is vital for decentralised flexible energy systems."
"The proposals for first year allowances for gas refuelling infrastructure are a welcome boost for decarbonising heavy goods vehicles and these gases can be renewable in which case they deliver valuable carbon savings.
"For the electric vehicles sector, this budget is a welcome boost. With a new fund for developing a high-power charging network, tax relief for new electric cars, R&D investment, and an extension to plug-in vehicle grants all announced it is clear that the Government is doing what it can to ensure the UK is at the fore of this emerging global industry. What's needed now is clarity, particularly on the role Government will play in supporting rapid charging roll-out along the motorway network, and on what is to happen to the existing home and workplace EV charging grant schemes due to expire later this year."
Preserving Natural Capital
"We are really pleased to see the Plastic Packaging Tax confirmed in the Budget. We hope that this will in the long run see a reduction in plastic contamination of compost.
"However, we were disappointed at the lack of clarity on the implementation of the Resources and Waste Strategy. For the Strategy to be successful, Local Authorities need to be adequately funded to make the infrastructural and practical changes needed to accommodate for food waste collections and the standardisation of recycling.
"We are looking forward to responding to the relevant consultations (including on the reform of the packaging system) so that the majority of compostable items that reach composting and suitable AD facilities, are bio-degraded in those facilities, with the operators adequately rewarded for doing so."

About the REA
The REA is the UK's largest trade association for renewable energy and clean technologies with around 550 members operating across heat, transport, and power. The REA is a not-for-profit organisation that represents renewable energy and clean technology companies operating in over fourteen sectors, ranging from biogas and renewable fuels to solar and electric vehicle charging. Membership ranges from major multinationals to sole traders.

Taking ideas from similar projects in other areas-such as paver bricks inscribed in honor or memory of alumni--school officials developed this project, which would be a partnership not only with the community but the drafting class of Jamie White, which will do the inscriptions on the bricks.
The paver bricks are being sold in two sizes--a 12X12 for $50 and a 4X8 for $35.
The public can also add the inscription of a lion head to the brick and a paw, each for an additional $5.
The brick can also have any inscription that the person purchasing the brick chooses in honor or memory of any teacher, administrator, alumni from the community.
Paver brick application forms can be found on the high school's Facebook page as well as at the high school main office, center of technology office or central office, Dr. McCoy said.
The application also gives space for the one purchasing the brick to put name, number, address, mark the size and extras wanted for the brick, mark whether paying by cash or check then give the design or text for the brick.
There is no deadline for purchasing the bricks, since this is an ongoing project to add paver bricks to form a walkway from the sidewalk in front of the cafeteria all the way to the lion mascot statue area.

http://www.europeum.org/en/user/default/64
Dr Tereza Novotna is currently a Korea Foundation Fellow at the EU Center, Graduate School of International Studies at Seoul National University in South Korea, an academic collaborator of REPI at the Institute for European Studies, Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the EUROPEUM, Institute for European Policy, a Prague-based think tank. Between 2014 and 2017, she was an FNRS Post-Doctoral Researcher based at REPI & IEE-ULB. Tereza joined the Institute for European Studies during the GR:EEN Project at ULB in Autumn 2012 where she examined the role of the European External Action Service (EEAS), its composition (including gender balance) and the upgraded role of EU Delegations. From October 2014 to September 2017, she continued with the same project with a funding by the Belgian national science foundation (F.R.S.-FNRS). Based in Seoul, her current research examines what role the EU could play in helping solve the North Korean crisis. She is also a member of the Chatham House-Korea Foundation Next Generation Expert Network. Although Tereza's work focuses primarily on EU foreign policy, her broader research interests include EU enlargement, democratization and integration processes (in Europe and on the Korean peninsula), transatlantic relations and TTIP negotiations, and the politics of Central and Eastern Europe as well as Germany.
Tereza received a Ph.D. in Politics and European Studies from Boston University and undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from Charles University Prague. She is the author of the monograph How Germany Unified and the EU Enlarged: Negotiating the Accession through Transplantation and Adaptation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) which is comparing and contrasting the two post-1989 integration processes. Tereza has held visiting fellowships at several institutions including the Center for Transatlantic Relations at SAIS (Johns Hopkins University), the Center for European Studies at Harvard University, the Institute for German Studies at University of Birmingham, the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (Brussels Office), the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin (supported by a DAAD grant), the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and the Max-Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne. Her research has been published in German Politics and Society, West European Politics, Studies in Ethnicities and Nationalism, Perspectives, Journal for Contemporary European Research, and E-Sharp as well as in numerous policy and media outlets. She has also practical experience of EU foreign policy from working for the European Commission, DG RELEX/EEAS, the EU Delegation in Washington, DC and the Czech Permanent Representation to the EU.

In this paper we give a philosophical analysis of the spatial paradox of incarnation in theology of the famous XXth century Scottish theologian Thomas Torrance. The paradox is interpreted in the context of modern cosmology, in particular in relation to a basic cosmological principle of uniformity of space in the universe. As a step beyond Torrance's theology the paper analyses the paradox of the incarnation for the elucidation of the sense of the human condition and, in particular, the concept of person as the center of disclosure and manifestation of the universe.

Remember you will have to set up the **webhook URL, SSL certificate, and web server** on your own.

## Telepot's Webhook Interface

Setting up a **[webhook](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhook)** is
more complicated than using `getUpdates()` because:

1. You have to obtain an URL
2. You have to obtain and set up an SSL certificate for the URL
3. You have to set up a web server to handle the POST requests coming from Telegram servers

Webhook also presents a subtle problem: closely bunched updates may arrive out of order.
That is, update_id `1000` may arrive ahead of update_id `999`, if the two are issued by
Telegram servers very closely. Unless a bot absolutely doesn't care about update order,
it will have to re-order them in some way.

Telepot has a mechanism to interface with web applications, and it takes care of re-ordering
for you. It is called `OrderedWebhook`.

```python
from telepot.loop import OrderedWebhook

def handle(msg):
    # ......

bot = telepot.Bot(TOKEN)
webhook = OrderedWebhook(bot, handle)

webhook.run_as_thread()
```

The web application, upon receiving a POST request, feeds data into the webhook
object. It will re-order the updates if necessary.
Using [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) as the web application framework:

```python
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook_path', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def pass_update():
    webhook.feed(request.data)
    return 'OK'
```

Warriors gear sales hit historic high as fans vie for NBA Finals tickets and merchandise
OAKLAND (KTVU) - If you measure Warriors fans by the lengths they'll go to support their team, George Dean is a slam dunk devotee.
The lifelong Warriors fan from San Pablo woke up before dawn Thursday to stand outside the Oracle Arena box office for the opening of the NBA Finals ticket sales.
"Like 3 a.m., 4 a.m., I was figuring they were going to start selling them first thing," Dean told KTVU.
He and others lined up on the longshot, that they could buy a golden ticket to see the Golden State Warriors play for the NBA Championship title.
General sales opened at 4 p.m. and by 4:36 p.m. the tickets were gone.
"All games are sold out," a woman announced from the box office.
Fans who left empty-handed were disappointed.
"Super bummed, Got 1, 2, and 5...no standing room?" said Jim Rutledge of Oakland.
"It was so close," said Dierdre Veals of Oakland with a laugh. She was the next in line when the ticket office staff made the announcement.
"Kind of wanted to see them play in person," Veals said, "Not at the bar."
Fans now face the option of the resale market, where ticket prices are expected to soar.
"I been hearing it on the radio too and so I thought I'd double check it," said Cory Chung of San Francisco, "You could fly to Cleveland, buy a ticket in Cleveland and fly back here for about the same price."
For much less, fans can wear their blue and gold hearts on their sleeves.
Steph Curry shirts and other Warriors gear are the hottest in Warriors' history, according to Warriors team staff.
After Wednesday night's Western Conference Championship win, the Warriors had record retail and web sales.
"He's the baby-faced assassin," said Joshua Shanklin, 9, pointing to his t-shirt with a photo of the Warriors' star guard Steph Curry.
"I got a Warriors hat, a Warriors shirt and it has all the players on the back with their numbers," said Treyvonne Shanklin, 11, who was sporting blue and yellow signature Curry shoes as well.
And those coveted Western Conference Championship hats - all 1,500 allocated to the team were sold out in the first two hours.
Some fans turned instead to the t-shirts. "Gotta have the shirt. Gotta have that," said Cecile Richards of Oakland.
But it isn't about strong sales numbers. It's about the strength in numbers that is the true-blue measure of how historic this moment is for the team and their hometown.
"I have a lot of confidence in them that they can take it all the way," Richards said smiling, "But even if they don't, they're still a great team. I'm still a fan no matter what." Well said, from an Oakland fan who like so many others, has never stopped believing.
(Warriors staff say the team stores will be open every day through the end of the finals. Hours at the Oracle Arena location are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Westfield San Francisco Centre store on the third floor is open from 10 a.m. until 8:30 p.m.)

All good wishes for the new year of 2010.
So I went forth and finding the Hand of God, walked gladly into the night. He led me towards the hill and the breaking of the day in the lone east. So my heart be still. What does our human life need to know, if God knows. In all the difficult strife of things, both high and low, God hides his intention".
These words by the American poet Minnie Haskins, will be familiar to many of you, used by the late King George VI in his Christmas message at the beginning of World War II. As we begin this year, they might also cause us to stop and reflect on our own provincial and personal situations.
I, for one, believe that we are being invited into a special time of living in faith in the Province. We have several sick and elderly confreres, we have few in formation, the future in terms of our Houses and our co-operation with the conference of Europe is very unclear. And yet the invitation is to walk into this night of faith and to remain in peace. I honestly believe that if we do not succumb to discouragement or despair, then the Lord will lead the Redemptorists of this Province and our Region, to new possibilities. And so I invite each confrere to reflect on the words above, and to deepen their relationship with the Lord as individuals and as communities. It seems that there has never been a more challenging time for us as Redemptorists here in the Province. Society almost taunts us with its lack of interest in religion or the Christian life. And yet I am convinced that underneath, there is a deep hunger for meaning, for something authentic, for God.
How we engage in this dynamic, I have no clear idea. However, that is the challenge of being a Redemptorist today. And I am confident that we can find some ways of entering into deeper dialogue, and explore further ways of communicating the Good News. But we need to remain rooted in faith and secure in the authenticity of our Redemptorist vocation. So I hope we can move through this year with a quiet confidence in the mission of our Province and our Congregation.
This letter will reach you unsigned. I am on Caldey Island preaching to the Cistercian community and at present can find no internet. When I do find it, I will send this letter to Sr. Maria in Kinnoull who will see to its distribution. Sadly, Sr. Maria will be leaving Kinnoull next month. Her Congregation has asked her to take over the animation of their Heritage Centre in Dublin. Maria will be missed in Kinnoull for her ministry of hospitality, and also for the work she did in the Provincial Office. We all wish her well in her new ministry.
A few days ago, I attended the funeral of Fr. Stephen Wetherall. Fr. Steve was a faithful servant of the Province and in particular of our apostolate of the pen at Chawton. I was happy to have visited him only two days before his death. I will ask Fr. Dickinson to send round an expanded copy of his homily as a memorial to Fr. Steve. May he rest in peace.
Our postulants continue to study at Hope University and the reports I have received from Fr. Ralph are encouraging. Please continue to pray for, and actively seek out, good vocations.
I was in Zimbabwe over the Christmas period and the situation is a little more stable there. Fr. William Guri will be letting you know about the first Regional Convocation which will take place in March.
Birthdays for February are Fr Philip Jones 4th, Fr Desmond Keegan 14th and Fr Michael Henesy, 24th.
The dreadful situation in Haiti continues to occupy the minds of many people. I know that nearly all the communities have had collections for Haiti at the request of Fr. General. These may be sent to Maurice O'Mahony, our Provincial Bursar who will see that they are forwarded. I have been in email contact with Fr. Mario Bois Provincial of St. Anne de Beaupré, and also Fr. Adonai Jean-Juste, the Regional Superior of the Unit in Port au Prince. He tells me that they are still sleeping outside, but that they are grateful for our prayers, concern and offerings. The latest news from Vietnam is also discouraging, with the Government actively continuing and intensifying its persecution of our Congregation. Again Fr. General asks our prayers for that ongoing difficult situation.
This year we expect the Holy Father to visit Britain to beatify John Henry Newman. In preparation for this I have been reading the volume on Neman from the Great Spiritual Classics series, and I can recommend it as an accessible and educational way of getting to know Newman's writing at a deeper level. I conclude with an extract from one of the sermons, Parochial and Plain, which might be a springboard for some of us for the coming year. The style is unmistakably in the genre of St. Alphonsus, and I have left it in the original Victorian English.
"Oh that we could take that simple view of things, as to feel that the one thing which lies before us is to please God! What gain is it to please the world, to please the great, even to please those whom we love, compared with this? What gain is it to be applauded, admired, courted, followed, compared with this one aim, of not being disobedient to a heavenly vision? What can this world offer comparable with that insight into spiritual things, that keen faith, that heavenly peace, that high sanctity, that everlasting righteousness, that hope of glory, which they have who in sincerity love and follow our Lord Jesus Christ?
Let us beg and pray Him day by day to reveal Himself to our souls more fully; to quicken our senses; to give us sight and hearing, taste and touch of the world to come; so to work within us that we may sincerely say, "Thou shall guide me with Thy counsel, and after that receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison of Thee: my flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."
The Holy Father invites us to "embody the paschal mystery more deeply and concretely in [our] personal, family and social lives, above all by fasting, prayer, and almsgiving." How can we, as members of the Redemptorist Family, engage in these three traditional Lenten practices with renewed meaning and hope?
This Lent, let us pray to see the world through the eyes of God, as God sees the world. To develop this contemplative gaze, we need to take time to be still and quiet and to ponder God's word and God's world. This appreciative gaze can deepen our solidarity with others, and with the wounded earth which cries for healing.
Fasting teaches us to resist the temptation to devour everything we desire. May our Lenten fast help us develop the self-discipline and control to treat the world, and others, with respect and care. Perhaps we can 'fast' from some activity which damages our environment – walking or taking public transport rather than a car; using resources such as water and energy more efficiently; recycling our waste more carefully.
Almsgiving is the traditional Christian virtue of sharing with others in need. It reminds us that we are called to be the 'Iglesia in salida', the 'Church-going-forth', as Pope Francis reminds us. This Lent, we give not only from our financial resources but let us try to share our talents and time, our service and creativity. We can care for a garden, welcome a refugee family, support an environmental cause, promote justice and peace, prepare for the Synod on the Amazon. Lent invites us to solidarity with this wounded world which is our common home.
May this Lent be a time of conversion and grace for all of us, and a time of healing and reconciliation for our wounded world. May Mary, Alphonsus, and all our blessed Redemptorist confreres walk with us on this journey into the Paschal Mystery.
We congratulate him as his years of service are so highly recognised.
Bishop Ralph Heskett C.Ss.R., was ordained Bishop of Gibraltar on Saturday 10th of July.
as he begins this new and important ministry.
Always in good singing voice!
The experience of a Redemptorist renewal in a parish is a powerful experience for all concerned. It is a time of celebration and growth, a time to deepen faith and share the Good news. It is a time to reach out in the Spirit and unite parish communities.
Each of us is evangelized by the experience of a mission.

This short article has to do with selecting and sizing cover images for your Facebook event page (not your individual profile, firm or organization page). Facebook Event Page Photo Size - Before we get into it, allow's start by answering the inquiry that most likely led you below: what dimension should your event's main photo be?
TL: DR variation: Since April 2018, the perfect Facebook event banner dimension is 1920px size, 1080 pixels elevation.
Utilizing these measurements should ensure your images appear in the greatest resolution on all display dimensions, and also stop automatic chopping. Keep reading to figure out we reached this final thought, as well as to find out additional pointers as well as best practices for Facebook event pictures.
First impressions issue, and no place is this truer than in social networks. Your Facebook event is commonly the first time ticket buyers are presented to your brand name's electronic presence, as well as the cover image you choose for your event is likely to be the very first point they see. If your image looks low-res, less than professional or shoddy, this might straight influence the way prospective customers view your event line, and also end up hurting your bottom line.
Plainly your event's cover photo issues. You desire it to flawlessly catch your brand identification, mix excitement in your audience, and get followers hyped and all set making an acquisition. Before all that however, you want your Facebook photo to be the ideal size-- otherwise it can get chopped, stretched, or otherwise mutilated by Facebook.
Choosing an image that's in the appropriate dimensions as well as aspect ratio will certainly avoid this terrible destiny from befalling you. Yet just what would that best dimension be?
For such a straightforward inquiry, it's surprisingly tough to discover a consistent answer. On the front page of Google, we located 1920 x 1080px, 1200 x 628px, as well as 1000 x 524px.
While all these will probably look okay most of the times, we're mosting likely to need to go with 1920 size, 1080 height as the measurements to use to guarantee your image looks really crisp as well as great on all tools. These numbers seem to be the majority viewpoint online, and we additionally ran some examinations of our very own to validate them.
Considering that Facebook has a history of unevenly altering required picture measurements across the board, we'll update this blog post at the beginning of each month so you can be sure it's always current.
- Smaller sized photos could appear blurry on certain display (e.g. tablets).
- Even overlooking dimension, you ought to make an effort to stick to the suggested aspect proportion (the ratio in between the photo's size and also height) to avoid cropping.
As an occasion marketing professional, the starting point you consider your event photo image showing up is the banner of your event page, at the top of which it will certainly be displayed in all its glory. Nonetheless, it's highly likely that even more people will in fact encounter a smaller sized variation of your photo on their Newsfeed, or a truly small one in their Suggested Events tab.
This means you should most likely prevent using an image with a lot of great information or small print, which may be difficult to recognize when the image is downsized.
Here are several of the dimensions your photo might show up in:.
- Recommended Events (ideal column, desktop): 83 x 81px (cropping is inevitable below).
Now that you have actually got your event image size directly, below are a couple of other points you could intend to keep an eye out for to nail the next cover image for your event:.
- Include vital information in the image itself: e.g. for a club evening or music celebration you could desire day, place and significant artists in your schedule. These information are important, so you intend to see to it visitors see them immediately-- yet try to strike a good equilibrium here, where the text isn't controling your entire photo however is still legible at smaller sized sizes.
- Do not be dull: there's a lot of stuff on Facebook. You're taking on a thousand other glossy distractions trying your target market's attention-- use an unique concept or eye-catching visual style to actually attract attention.
- Know your audience: be aspirational. Pick pictures that your audience will relate to, positioning your event as the place for people like them to be. This guideline uses whether you're running a hypnotic trance festival or a database convention.
- As much as 20% text: For ads, Facebook does not permit photos with a high percentage of text-to-image-- as a rule of thumb, attempt to maintain your text at no more than 20% of the image. Maintain this in mind if you're preparing any paid promotion around your event, because Facebook will gladly disapprove ads that do not follow their policies. You can use this device to examine your photos in advances.


Is shared or dedicated web hosting the best for your business? If this is your first website and it's relatively small, a virtual shared server is probably good for now. If you're moving a large website which already gets thousands or millions of views, shared probably won't cut it. You may be better off with dedicated hosting.

Check out this sound structured, dark pigmented, practically built bull that is moderate framed and deep bodied. Not only does he have the right build but is backed by an impressive pedigree and charts above average for the economically relevant traits of growth and milk. 275/1 is sired by +JDH Mr. Manso 638 the many time champion, producer of sale toppers and most recently was recognized as producing the #2 Grey Show Cow of the Year for 2017. The bottom side of 275/1's pedigree is equally as impressive being out of a young up and coming daughter of JDH Mr. Manso 887/4 one of our top producing sires of both show animals and replacements and the 2007 Reserve National Champion Female, JDH Lady Manso 864/4. Take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a young sire that offers it all!


Terry Wallace has picked the right round to sign off on. A spud of a coach ending his coaching career in a real spud of a round…ladies and gentlemen I present to you SPUD ROUND. The AFL marketing gurus could have a field day….if you don't do a chip kick it would be a free kick, Danny Frawley could be spared the insufferable company of Jason Dunstall for a week to be a spokesman of the round. Just think of it, Spud Round could become appealing. If you can't win in Spud Round you could always fry again next week. When a mash involving Carlton and Brisbane is the game of the week you can see why this week will be now known as SPUD ROUND.
In perhaps his wisest ever coaching move, Terry Wallace has apologised to the Western Bulldogs after the way it ended in 2002. However, I don't think the Dogs will accept Plough's apology and that the Bulldogs will prove that these Tigers don't change their stripes. The Doggies will lay a giant dog turd on the Tiger skin rug after spending the night walking all over it. There is also a rumour doing the rounds that 'superstar' Nathan Brown (unable to continue without Wallace) will retire and go around the Dome in an open topped car to salute all twelve of his fans. Meanwhile Cryogenicists are flat out trying to resurrect the remains of Lee Harvey Oswald for the occasion. Dogs by 45 points at leash.
This match is sure to be sparsely attended due to the fact that during this long weekend there will be a landscaping and renovation show on in Melbourne and all 1900 North fans will be attending it to watch paint dry and grass grow. The sad fact is that North Melbourne and St Kilda ARE BORING! Who could blame the North diehards for wanting to get away from it all. They'll be lucky to kick five goals against that 21 man Saints defence (everyone except the Alpaca is in the Saint defence these days…Zac Dawson has never felt so accepted). Yep, the Roos can't kick goals against the Dons let alone the Saints. I expect the media to once again play with their Peter Garrett dolls over the mid season break as they talk up the invincible Saints. I see a yawn-inducing 41 point win coming up for the Saints. Yeah, 12 goals to 5…trust British Paints? Sure can!
There are plenty of pundits keen to get on the Blues this week for some reason but they go about as well on the road as Andrew Symonds. Carlton disappeared up their own arse when they went to Football park but Adelaide don't have a Jonathon Brown or Daniel Bradshaw last time I checked. The Blues fanciers are probably wondering when the loss of Merritt and Patfull is going to start effecting the Lions. The Lions are like a terminator that gets shot multiple times yet comes back again and again to torment John Connor. Fev of course holds the key but because he's so dumb he's probably left it in his front door back at his Mansion in Melbourne like an overpaid Homer Simpson. Because Fev is so stupid, it just has to be Lions. Brisbane by 25 points.
The Port vs. Freo match will be sponsored by Jim Beam. There will be a pig on a spit and two teams of girls wrestling each other in their bikinis…ah…can anyone get in? Well of course you can, it's a Port home game ha ha. The clubs accepted the distiller's coin for this match as they reasoned accurately that two teams of bikini clad honeys would probably go in harder for the ball than Freo and Port have done in recent weeks. Just think of it..an all spunks football game..I'd be tipping there would be plenty of stiff opposition. It would also give some disinterested footballers the week off. Port know full well that Choco is moving on because the Power can no longer afford his outrageous wages and they are playing like it. Freo have been having a crack but most of their players are too young to be posting on this site let alone playing league football. I reckon Port by four points but the babes match would be far more interesting and a lot tougher as well.
The Bombers were predictably smashed last week by the mighty Cats which proves the old adage of anything that doesn't quite get up is bound to play Geelong and come crashing down. There might be a few injuries this week at Bomberland after shoulders were dislocated patting themselves on the back because they scored six goals in the last quarter. This misguided sense of self praise will do them little good as they face an Adelaide side that has taken the blinkers off in recent weeks and had the location of the goals pointed out to them. The Professor has the reputation of being one of the smartest coaches in the business but he forgot to move the goalposts from the wing during preseason training and the Blackbirds have been kicking at them for eight weeks before Johnny Reid finally snuck up next to the coach and whispered 'Er….Craigy…how about movin' them sticks mate!'. Let's get this game over and done with. I mean, how many articles can mention 300 gamer Tyson Edwards as being 'underrated' before that actually constitutes him being rated?? Adelaide by 19 points to send Knighter's boys into a tailspin.
So far the 'mighty' Hawks have played seven of their ten matches against sides outside the current top eight and to remain there they need to knock off the Swannies. The Swannies as I have said many times before this year are not a tipping proposition away from the Basketball Court. As a result I get to gleefully plant my kiss of death on the Hawks as I am tipping them in this contest but I'll be heartbroken if they lose ha ha. Last week all three of the Swans players in Hall, O'Keefe and Goodes had goodes games but they got rolled big time by the Dogs who even had time for a second half kip. The Hawks must be getting a bit desperate now. A few weeks back it was 'Hawks to be 8-3 at the half way mark', then it was 'They'll settle for 7-4 at the half way mark' and this week I heard 'They'll be delighted to be 6-5' at the halfway mark. LMAO this is a golden age. The Hawks defence is a joke and I'm not game to make any Swans jokes as I might get blood and tarred and feathered. Swans away from the court so it's the Hawks, simple. Hawthorn by 15 points.
With both teams missing so many players game manufacturers Hasbro has taken the opportunity to realise the newest version of 'Guess Who' and the latest game to be released in Geelong 'Connect 11'. Word has it that Bomber Thompson has already ordered a giant party sub swimming with vinegar (just the way you like it) and he plans to eat this giant sandwich the minute the cameras look up to the coaching box…just like last year. For the Eagles, it will be a case of biting off more than they can chew. At least when they played the Hawks they could have chewed the fat but against the Cats all they'll end up with fur balls…Oh Oh! Watch out Half Cat! Geelong by 58 points.
The great Collingwood benefit goes on as they valiantly struggle to come to grips with the best draw seen since I got to sit next to Megan Gale on a flight to Sydney. The Pies have squared the ledger now and are starting to get their full side back together even if the full accompaniment of teeth is never an option whenever Collingwood is concerned. Now every teacher in the land is wondering Watts is going on with a kid playing in his league debut the day before an exam but at last the time has come for last year's number one draft pick. I'm tipping that the returning Robbo won't be attempting anymore goals while he is sitting on his arse after being given a run in the magoos last time he tried that stunt. But at least Robbo can get a kick unlike Miller who has started poorly and gone backwards ever since. I genuinely want to know why was Miller Drafted? Collingwood by 26 points.


Crawley is a Labour target seat. The current Conservative MP, Henry Smith, is a good friend of the Chagossians. But so is Jeremy Corbyn.
Might Corbyn impose a three-line whip for Gatwick over Heathrow? To provide London with its undeniably necessary expansion in airport capacity, Gatwick would be far better than a third runway at Heathrow.
And the extra distance to the centre of London would be nothing to people from anywhere else in the world. Americans, say. Or Chinese.

Q: For $x \ge 1$, is $2^{\sqrt{x}} \ge x$ For $x \ge 1$, is $2^{\sqrt{x}} \ge x$
The answer appears to me to be yes since:
$$\sqrt{x} \ge \log_2 x$$
Here's my reasoning:
(1) For $x > 16$, $5\sqrt{x} > 4\sqrt{x} + 4$
(2) For $x > 25$, $x > 5\sqrt{x}$
(3) So, $x > 25$, $2x > x + 4\sqrt{x} + 4$ and it follows that $\sqrt{2x} > \sqrt{x} +2$
(4) So, as $x$ doubles, $\sqrt{2x} > \sqrt{x} + 2$ but $\log_2(2x) = \log_2(x) +1$
Is my reasoning correct?  Is there a simpler way to analyze this?

A: The inequality doesn't always hold, as can be seen by taking $x=9$.
Notice that your question is about comparing $a^b$ and $b^a$ with $a=2,b=\sqrt{x}$. It is well known that $a^b \leq b^a$ if and only if $$a^{1/a} \leq b^{1/b} $$
which in our case is
$$\sqrt{2} \leq b^{1/b}.$$
This inequality holds iff $$2 \leq b \leq 4 $$
which translates to $$ 4 \leq x \leq 16 .$$
Thus your inequality holds for $x \in [1,4] \cup [16,\infty)$.

A: The claim is in fact false. Take $x=9$, we have
$$2^{\sqrt{9}}=2^3=8<9.$$

A: Instead of considering $$f(x)=2^{\sqrt x}-x$$ consider function and derivatives $$g(x)={\sqrt x}\log 2-\log(x)$$ $$g'(x)=\frac{\log (2)}{2 \sqrt{x}}-\frac{1}{x}$$ $$g''(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}-\frac{\log (2)}{4 x^{3/2}}$$ The first derivative cancels at $x_0=\frac{4}{\log ^2(2)}$ and, for this value $$g(x_0)=2-2\log (2)+2 \log (\log (2))\approx -0.11932\qquad g''(x_0)=\frac{\log ^4(2)}{32}$$ So, $x_0$ coressponds to a unique minimum. Since, when $x\to 0$, $g(x)\to \infty$, then there are two solutions $x_1,x_2$ to $g(x)=0$; for any $x_1 < x < x_2$, $g(x) <0$ and then $f(x) >0$ if $0<x<x_1$ and $x_2 <x <\infty$.

InMotion Software Releases Sluice Blockchain Technology
NationalMortgag...
InMotion Software has announced the release of Sluice, a workflow management platform that leverages blockchain technology to bring greater transparency and security to the residential appraisal industry.
Sluice's distributed ledger database allows multiple users to work on the same valuation orders, while storing a comprehensive history of changes made during the appraisal timeline. By automatically merging property data into appraisal reports as the data is being collected in the field, Sluice significantly enhances the speed and efficiency of fulfilling orders in a mobile environment. Sluice also integrates seamlessly with any appraisal management system, enabling appraisal and appraisal management companies to perform and manage real estate valuation assignments in real-time, without the need to switch to a new platform.
Prior to launching Sluice, InMotion partnered with experts in the mortgage industry to research and deploy blockchain technology to the benefit of appraisers and other valuation experts as they evaluate real property collateral in the field. By incorporating technology that provides immediate, two-way communication, Sluice allows users to get directions to a subject property, manage their tasks, generate floor plans with Sluice's built-in tools, upload geo-tagged photos, fill-out required or proprietary forms and take notes. Sluice is specially built to work just as well offline should an assignment take an appraiser off the grid by uploading data to the appraiser's server once the data connection is restored.
Sluice is already supporting several national AMCs that are using it to administer their order workflow, enabling their users to accept, manage and submit all the data they collect during the course of any assignment. AMCs using Sluice have been able to realize significant improvements in turnaround time, better communications with workers in the field and improved first submission quality, leading to less rework.
"We are excited to bring distributed ledger technology to the appraisal industry with Sluice," said John Howard, CEO of InMotion Software. "Although currently focused on serving the mortgage industry, Sluice is a remarkably robust platform and can be adapted to any workflow project. Because the system is vastly modifiable and capable of endless customization, the opportunities for streamlining other industry workflows are endless."
Brian Howard, partner and CTO of InMotion, said: "We have made a substantial investment in Sluice so that our clients can buy-in rather than build their own platform from scratch. As we continue to optimize the platform, we look forward to developing future partnerships with other industry participants that will push the platforms' capabilities."

A Beloved Jim Carrey Movie Is Dominating Netflix Today
By Jessica James 1 month ago
We're quickly approaching Christmas, and it seems that Netflix subscribers are taking the chance to enjoy some holiday classics as we reach the end of a difficult year. Seasonal titles currently dominate the Top 10 list for the streaming platform, including the beloved Jim Carrey movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which is the fourth most popular film on the service in the US today.
For those not aware, Grinch is adapted from the Dr. Seuss book of the same name, and was directed by Ron Howard. Carrey stars as the titular character, who decides to get revenge on the citizens of Whoville by stealing their presents, decorations, and food, but in the process helps remind the town and himself of the true meaning of Christmas being more about family and friends than possessions.
The production is notable for Jim Carrey's extensive prosthetics, which aid the actor's natural ability to create a character using distinctive faces and body language. Indeed, he even recently reminded us that he's still able to produce the "Grinch face" when asked to. Upon its original release in 2000, How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a box office hit, despite a mixed critical reaction, and successful enough that another live-action version with Carrey is reportedly on the cards now.
In the twenty years since it was first in theaters, the picture has become one of the many Xmas staples that we enjoy at home, although perhaps not quite up there with stone-cold favorites like The Muppet Christmas Carol. Furthermore, it appears that the story has a much broader appeal for viewers at the moment, with the more recent CGI effort The Grinch with Benedict Cumberbatch also creating a big impact.
Whatever your opinions on How the Grinch Stole Christmas, it's clear that Netflix's audience are either happily returning to or enjoying it for the first time this month. With a lot of other Christmas-themed content to check out on the streamer, though, it faces stiff competition to be crowned the most popular example of the genre come the 25th of December.

The accounting firm KPMG asked a federal appeals panel yesterday to rule that a district judge could not compel the firm to pay the legal fees of former executives facing criminal charges in a tax-shelter fraud investigation.
/ News / November 22, 2006 April 9, 2013
Appearing before a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, a lawyer for KPMG, Sheila L. Birnbaum, argued that the district judge, Lewis A. Kaplan, did not have the authority to conduct a proceeding on legal defense costs. The matter should instead be decided by an arbitration panel, as set out in the firm's partnership agreement, Ms. Birnbaum said.
In June, Judge Kaplan found that prosecutors violated the constitutional rights of 16 former KPMG executives by putting undue pressure on the firm not to pay their legal fees. The former partners have since pursued a civil action before Judge Kaplan, seeking advance payment toward those costs.
Last week, the judge indefinitely delayed the criminal trial, saying the fee dispute would probably not be decided before the trial was scheduled to start in January.
But David Spears, a lawyer for a former vice chairman of KPMG, Jeffrey Stein, argued yesterday that the circuit judges did not have jurisdiction to hear KPMG's appeal and that a trial on the fee dispute before Judge Kaplan was the proper way to proceed.

Millions of people prepared for a prolonged battering from the storm, which could be the fiercest hurricane to hit the U.S. in nearly a dozen years. Forecasters labeled Harvey a "life-threatening" system that posed a "grave risk," saying it could swamp several counties more than 100 miles inland.
Fueled by warm Gulf of Mexico waters, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, just shy of the benchmark for a Category 3 storm, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was expected to continue gathering strength before coming ashore late Friday or early Saturday.

Science fiction, at its best, should be intellectual, philosophical and innovative. It should be creative, but also reflective of our own reality. Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 is paradoxical in its idealism and cynicism; it maintains a critical glare at humanity while it plays on our greatest fears as a society, but provides us with parallel emotional and physical comforts to relieve our distress. Much like its groundbreaking predecessor of 1982 (directed by Ridley Scott, applauded in its era for strong visual effects and successful blending of futuristic sci-fi dystopia with nostalgic film-noir) Blade Runner 2049 seamlessly blends past, present and future into its composition, effectively and convincingly constructing another universe on screen that is utterly sublime and with indescribable scope.
As soon as the feature begins, the audience is transported by the otherworldly score, from industry giants Zimmer and Wallfisch, which flirts with the sinister ambient elements of Vangelis' soundtrack to the original Blade Runner but ultimately creates something darker, deeper and more powerful. Zimmer and Wallfisch bring something completely unparalleled in mood and tone, which is a feat for an electronic score. The pace is kept steady and controlled, but the sound swells, slows and dominates ears in an instant, serving to remind the audience that the creators are in control.
The cinematography is outstanding; in every second of run time it feels as though you are seeing something for the very first time, be it through CGI or otherwise. The sumptuous colour palette, the brutalist architecture – the sheer enormity of the landscapes constructed – provide the basis for a perfectly orchestrated screenplay. The success of the visual effects in Blade Runner 2049 is titanic, and its CGI is likely to set a precedent for the standard of virtual cinematography for years to come.
Performances from lead actors fit ideally into the constructed world, Gosling's effortlessly subtle restraint and nuance being key to carrying the film. Dialogues are minimal and spaced, but are characteristically pensive and captivating when occurring. There is so much heart in the film, just as there is suffering, but it does not plead with the audience through ham sentimentalism.
Distinguished, elegant and completely mesmeric, Blade Runner 2049 feels like a vital turning point in contemporary cinema. As if it were not unusual enough to be brought something new, being spellbound by a "sequel" is so incredibly unexpected. However, unlike most follow-ups Villeneuve's feature will be able stand alone as a demonstration of masterful and inspiring filmmaking. Blade Runner 2049 is stunning, in each and every way, and is best seen on the big screen, where visuals and sound are as they should be. A perfect ten.

I think Rhombus bec all square are also rhombus.
Because Both options are available in question.That doesn't matter all square are Rhombus or not.
Rhombus. Because a parallelogram has no right angles.
You mean Rectangle and square are not parallelogram.super funny!!!
You go and search Google or refer any 7 or 8 class book.
3. Diagonals bisect at 90°.
****All the above properties are satisfied by SQUARE.
**Rhombus doesn't satisfy all the property but square satisfies all the property of Rhombus.
*Both are different because each angles of square are 90°.
If U object this question SOMI,I am sure u will get 1 mark.
Sir,aptitude of CT entrance set-b question number56 is wrong.Because rate% is different,if we compare English with odia that particular question.
I have 98.25 in bed pcm sebc.can I have any chance.
Sir i have scored 92 in cbz B.Ed of general caste …is there any chance of selection….???
Revlon sir square satisfies all the prosperity. But how parallelogram May have all same sides but without angle 90 it can be a square.you can say square is a parallelogram .But how can a parallelogram without angle 90 be a square.
1.Opposite sides are congruent .
2.Opposite angels are congruent .
4.If one angle is right, then all angles are right.
5.The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
6.Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
***Isn't square have all the above properties ?
***If yes,why can't Square be a parallelogram ?
Class math book.U will understood.
Further any doubts reply in this post.
Sir i think u have a misunderstanding. Square is a parallelogram but parallelogram can be a square when it has equal sides and at least one right angle.
I agree with you Priti.Who said parallelogram is a Square without right angles and equal side.
* So argument is about square is a parallelogram or not?
*I think U didn't understand my above Explanation.
Revlon sir square satisfies all the property. But how parallelogram May have all same sides but without angle 90 it can be a square.you can say square is a parallelogram .But how can a parallelogram without angle 90 be a square.
