Exports of agricultural products from the central western region of Brazil are seen as one of the country's most important long-term exports, offering the nation a chance to alleviate some of its crippling national debt.
Brazil is a major player in exporting agricultural and mineral products including sugar, soy beans, meat, wood pulp and iron ore, with grain one of the most prominent cargos. The most important grain-producing region in the country takes in the three states of Mato Grosso, southern Goias and Mato Grosso do Sul, south of the Amazon River and rainforest.
"Ferronorte was formed by major grain exporter Itamarati to provide a new and efficient transport corridor."
Between 1980–94, exports trebled to nearly 13 million tonnes, but the region was held back from contributing more to the world's agricultural markets by poor communications. Grain had to be transported largely by inadequate roads, over distances ranging from 1300 to 2000km. To combat these issues, Ferronorte was formed by major grain exporter Itamarati to provide a new and efficient transport corridor.
The original project started in 1992, and involved construction of long stretches of new railway, including from Aparecida do Taboado, in Mato Grosso state, to Alto Taquai, across Mato Grosso du Sul state, totalling 249 miles (400km). The first 310km section opened in May 1999, taking Ferronorte tracks into Mato Grosso state, which included crossing the Parana River with a 3.7km bridge.
However, times have changed and in 2006, following further investments in the system and increasing debts, Ferronorte – along with the other constituents of Brazil Ferrovias, Ferroban and Novoeste – was bought out by America Latina Logistica (ALL) with BNDES bank holding a 12.77% stake in return for ALL taking on the R$1.7bn debt of Brazil Ferrovias. ALL is now responsible for all operations on the Ferronorte system.
During 2005 Brazil Ferrovias invested R$253m in track upgrades and acquired a further 57 new locomotives and 650 wagons, while ALL is continuing to invest in the railway system. Between 2006 and 2009, ALL plans to invest R$2bn, including an initial budget of R$500m for new rolling stock and infrastructure improvements.
The new rail line runs through almost flat country, which has a humid, tropical climate with regular rainfall. The major obstacle faced by the constructors of the first phase was the crossing of the Parana River, near Santa Fe do Sul. The Brazilian federal government and Sao Paulo state formed a consortium to design and build a 2.6km double-decked bridge, including a navigation channel for barges.
There are tight infrastructure requirements elsewhere, with a maximum grade of 1° in either direction, and a curve radius of no more than 650m. Six million cubic metres of earth were estimated to have been moved during construction.
Five concrete pre-stressed ballast deck bridges were constructed – four crossing rivers, and the fifth a road. The railway will also pass under three existing roads.
Further plans for expansion are now on the cards, although the new owner ALL is concentrating on improvements to the current network first.
Ferronorte invested heavily in new locomotives with more than 100 General Electric diesel-electric locomotives being bought to power its trains. Locomotives run in pairs when hauling the staple grain services. Ferronorte's fleet has now been integrated with ALL's own locomotives and rolling stock. ALL now operates 960 locomotives and 27,000 wagons in South America.
Soya bean traffic is carried in a new fleet of aluminium-bodied wagons, built in Brazil by Maxion under licence from parent company Johnstown. Before the new locomotives were introduced, Ferronorte used a fleet of second-hand General Electric locomotives, adapted from 1000mm to 1435mm gauge for their new use.
SIGNALLING/TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Initially, a manual block system is being used. Base radios are installed along the length of the first phase, controlled by a dispatcher in the control centre.
A train is given permission to occupy blocks along its route before it starts its journey, and the dispatcher has computer software which protects against conflicting train movements.
"Further plans for expansion are now on the cards."
A point detector interlocked with approach signalling, installed ahead of the switches detects their position and gives train drivers a 'go' or 'stop' signal, depending on their position. There is scope for this system to be integrated into a fully computerised train control system in future.
Future extensions will take the railway to Cuiaba, also in Mato Grosso, from where a divergence is planned, with routes running north-west to Porto Velho, in Roraima state, and north to Santarem (in Para state), where it will link with existing rail lines in the Amazon River bay.
Ferronorte sees construction of the new railway as a catalyst for unlocking the potential for grain shipments from the area it will serve.


fingers polish mania: Have you seen my stash?
Periodically, I get requests to see my polish collection. I have not counted how many bottles I own. I am quite afraid of finding out. I am very sure others have way more, but I really don't want to have a humongous stash. I have 4 bookcases and really am not looking to add more bookcases. Are you ready?
Now I will break this down into shelves for closer inspection.
On top is my Julep and Laura's Lacquer frankens. The space is where my camera box goes. On the shelf itself-back row is Orly, front row more Orly, Savvy, Nars and American Apparel. I turn the labels so I see the colors.
Back row is some Barielle, Nubar, and Nfu Oh. Front row is OPI, CND, Layla, Sinful and a Polish Amor franken. The shelves are lined with drawer liner that is slightly tacky and I cut foam block to make a shelf within the shelves.
Back row is Deborah Lippmann, Pure Ice, Cult Nails. Front row is Catrice, Finger Paints, Revlon (gasp)!
As you can see, this is where I do my blogging. Perfect when you are surrounded by pretty polish! Here comes the shelf breakdown.
On top are my Konad Special polish. Back row is Chanel, Color Club. Front row is Joe Fresh and NYX.
This is my prized Rescue Beauty Lounge Collection. Note the space in front for the new Fan collection due out in April! So back row is RBL, BeYu, Collistar. Front row is more RBL, Dior and YSL.
This is all my Essie. As you can see, I have run out of room for more!
Now on to Bookcase #3.
On top are Hits No Olimpo, Max Factor, Glitter Gal, and mini Girly Bits. Back row are Zoya. Front row ManGlaze, Zoya and mini Nails Inc.
This shelf is full of three rows of Nails Inc.
This is three rows of China Glaze.
On top are Elemental Styles. Back row is Kiko and A England. Front row is Illamasqua, Girly Bits, Dollish Polish and a Lynnderella.
This is my glorious two rows of Bettina and Lynnderella.
What? Another two rows of Bettina? Oh yeah people! Plus front row is my brown Barielle collection.
The only thing I am missing from these pictures are my full size SoFlaJo. They are in the mail!
I hope this has satisfied your sick need to see my stash. If you happen to count the bottles-please don't tell me how many there are!

We have been giving back to the community in many ways over the years. When we sat down one day, after watching the movie Instant Family, we began to talk about how we wanted to make a difference that we could see. Furthermore, we wanted to give other students our age the chance to recognize that you could start something from the ground up and change the way you see the world, and the way the world sees you.
So, after only a few minutes of discussion, we decided to give suitcases and backpacks to kids who needed them. Whether they are using the suitcase to move from one foster home to another, or in some cases to a permanent home, suitcases symbolize a journey. The journey may be only a short distance, but it can change a life. When you have something that is your own, the journey is more meaningful.
Backpacks for school are the ultimate tool to keep your life organized and live up to your potential. Jared is super organized and his backpack has everything handy at a glance. Jack, on the other hand, has a backpack that looks like it is about to explode. But, organized or messy, those backpacks connect our home and school lives.
Also, we feel like suitcases and backpacks can be inspiring. They have potential. A sturdy suitcase and/or backpack can take you around the world on an adventure.

Take Part, Win or Win at all Costs?
I have loved watching the London Olympics – both at the Olympic Stadium itself and in front of my TV. There have been numerous remarkable human achievements which will inspire and motivate others both in sport and other endeavours. I have found the joy of watching people achieve lifelong ambitions very emotional, as have been the reactions of some of those who have not achieved what they wanted to.
There is a lot of pressure to win – the amount of time the athletes have invested in preparation, justification for the funding received and to be seen as 'the best' being just three. But how far should an athlete go to win?
Picture a continuum – a straight line with 'fair play' at one end and 'unfair play' at the opposite end.
At one end of the continuum, we have Timo Boll the German table tennis player who was awarded a point because his opponent's return supposedly missed the table – but Timo saw that it had shaved the side. He calmly explained this to the umpire and asked for the point to be awarded to his opponent. Apparently, he received the loudest applause of the day for this gesture – but he lost the match and his Olympics were over.
At the other end of the spectrum we have people taking performance enhancing drugs which are outlawed, which is clearly wrong.
Moving along my continuum and slightly further towards the middle we have the badminton pairs who were playing each other and both teams attempted to lose the match – and this happened in two matches. They were disqualified by their Federation for "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport." And so their Olympics were over. Not as clear cut as drugs cheats, perhaps, but clearly against the rules within their sport.
But now to the grey area – and let's look at 'Team GB'. I was watching the rowing final for the Lightweight Double Skulls when one of the rower's seats broke soon after the start. He waved the seat in the air to alert the umpire because there is a rule which states that if there is a breakage within the first 100 metres, the race can be restarted with the breakage having been rectified. The rule is a bit of an anachronism as it was apparently introduced to deal with wooden rows that sometimes broke early in the race due to the force of the early strokes – they don't use wooden rows any longer, but the rule is still in place.
Sir Steve Redgrave was commentating and as soon as it happened, he said that the rower needed to show the broken seat to the Umpire and, "… if it wasn't broken then make sure it is broken …" by the time the Umpire got to their boat. John Inverdale, the co-commentator, tried to retrieve the situation by subtly suggesting to him that he might have been trying to say something slightly different, but Sir Steve's statement had been very clear. The pair went on to claim the Silver Medal.
Moving to the Velodrome, the British team got themselves in a bit of hot water – or lukewarm water at the very least – with one of their tactics. In the a Men's Team Sprint heat Philip Hindes wobbled as he set off against France, so didn't get a very good start. His response was to deliberately crash his bike to get a restart.
Hindes told reporters that team tactic was, "… if we have a bad start we need to crash to get a restart." He added, "I just crashed, I did it on purpose to get a restart, just to have the fastest ride. I did it. So it was all planned, really," By the time of the Press Conference, the official line was that he had lost control of his bike. The team won the restarted heat and went on to win the Gold Medal.
The points made by the individuals in both cases are interesting as they were said in the 'heat of the moment' – at points when both were emotionally involved in what was happening, and so likely to be less guarded, but perhaps giving a more honest insight into how these teams operate.
The ethos in these examples appears to be to use the rules, but not in ways in which they were intended. Where does this sit on the Continuum of Fair Play?
Cycling and Rowing were our most successful sports in terms of medal returns. Is it partly because these participants and coaches adopt this 'aggressive' use of the rules? And if they are awarded additional funding because of these successes, is it 'right', and will it encourage other athletes and sportspersons to adopt a similar approach? Is this an example of winning at all costs – apart from doping – and in doing so creating a less than level playing field?
As the Olympics came to a conclusion, Sir Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England talked about what the banking sector could learn from Team GB. During his lesson on morality, he said, "As recent scandals have shown, banks could learn a thing or two about fair play from the Olympic movement. Again the financial sector has done us all a disservice in promoting the belief that massive financial compensation is necessary to motivate individuals." Perhaps he's right. But, on our continuum, how far are the previously mentioned examples of the uses of the rules in the rowing and cycling events from how some of our bankers have interpreted rules?
Or is all this inherent in any system where reward – financial, medals or otherwise – is present? And should it be accepted as night follows day? Is there an opportunity for learning and development providers to offer an event on Profitable Rule Interpretation?
Perhaps we like to think of society as being made up of lots of Timo's, but in reality the ethos is more about being less open and more manipulative than we want to admit to being? Or perhaps the manipulative ones become winners, and that shapes society?
Or it could be that the comments I have quoted were, in fact, meant in a different way and have been misinterpreted.
In short, do we 'play fair' as much as we like to think and make out we do?
I'm reasonably clear on where I stand, but I would be interested in your views. I may change my mind having heard from others.

Silent Talk: The Voice to be Heard
A deaf pupil speaks about his struggles and needs in life
by Henry Wong & Winnie Ngai
His hands move to make signs. He talks silently. This calm and ambitious man had lost his hearing after a serious illness in infancy.
Martin Wan, a deaf student recalled his growth journey as an unsound person in the society.
"I daydreamt in class," Wan said. Life did not go smoothly in the beginning since sign language is not common in Hong Kong. Martin felt embarrassed and uncomfortable when his classmates forced him to talk by lips in secondary school. "I feel like being discriminated," he said. Loneliness and sadness came together as no one was willing to talk to him in class.
Martin uses signs to express his feelings and share his opinions in the interview.
There are more than 155 thousand of hearing impaired people in Hong Kong, according to the figure of the Census and Statistics Department in 2015. However, the public often misread the deaf minority. "People thought they need to shout when they communicate with us, "Wan shook his head. He explained that hearing impaired people can understand the meaning by using hand-signs and reading lips.
"It is no need to shout," he said.
The social worker of Silence helps Martin with the sign translation.
Apart from this, labelling of deaf people in the society saddens Wan. "They think hearing impairment is infectious," he said. Wan mentioned a teen who used a tissue to clean a pen after he led it to him. Deaf people are sensitive and they often get hurt by this kind of act.
Willy Kwong, the head of Silence said that hearing impairment is a kind of invisible disability that cannot be noticed by appearances. "If you speak behind a deaf people, they don't know what you are talking about." He mentioned the misunderstanding and workplace discrimination are often caused since the public is not aware of it.
Deaf people face difficulties communicating with their sound families as there's limitation of signs. "We can be the bridge between hearing-impaired people and their family," Kwong said.
The shortage of hand-sign translators makes deaf people difficult to survive in Hong Kong. They rely on sign language for daily tasks like communicating with others.
"I never give up no matter how many times I fail," Wan showed his passion and confidence in the signs. This hearing impaired man is not hindered by the limitation of his body. The silent voice can be heard in the sign.
Martin expresses his thankfulness to the support of Silence through his facial expression.
(Edited by Michelle Chan; video edited by Sharon Shi)
Charity SILENCE aims to help deaf people to integrate into the community. It provides sign language translation and education, vocational training and family counselling to hearing-impaired people and their families.

It�s Saturday morning and I truly think you need this mushroom and spinach omelet to start your day. I know that sometimes we think it�s no big deal to skip breakfast but seriously this is worth the short amount of time it takes to cook it.... 4/08/2015�� A quick and easy recipe, full of goodness, this Spinach and Mushroom Omelette is perfect for lunch or a light supper. I am a big fan of super speedy, easy peasy lunch dishes, especially if they use leftovers and bits and bobs I�ve got in the fridge.
21/04/2014�� This spinach mushroom omelette is usually what I ingest during the weekday because it�s filling, quick and convenient for my busy mornings. It�s packed with protein, spinach � high in vitamin B and iron and the mushrooms provide me with fat soluble vitamin D which is perfect for a woman who lives in a colder climate.
Fall back on this trusty omelet recipe you can whip up in minutes. Easy to make, this recipe comes loaded with extra protein and fresh veggies to keep you fed and fit.
23/06/2014�� I really love breakfast as you can tell. Please ignore my lack of knowledge for omelette folding. @:30 my camera actually tipped over and landed on top of the spinach.
Keep the omelette warm and cook another three omelettes in the same way with the rest of the egg mixture, mushrooms and spinach. Top the hot omelettes with the salmon strips and more freshly ground black pepper.

Microsoft and Their 497,000,000 Euro Fine
Almost half a billion Euros, which is about 600 million US Dollars, is the fine against which Microsoft fought with an appeal at the European Court of First Instance. Today, they lost: The court ruled that the decision of the European Commission to impose the fine on Microsoft was appropriate.
For almost a decade now, the European Commission has been struggling with Microsoft (to little avail) against their alleged abuse of their significant market power. In the center of the controversy is the hardly uninstallable Microsoft Media Player, which was considered an abuse of the OS monopoly to create another monopoly in the media player market. However, when it comes to monopolists abusing their monopolies, the European Union tends to have little sense of humor (a fact that Microsoft could have known in the first place). And thus, they fined Microsoft in 2004 with 497 million Euros and demanded them opening their APIs so competitors could give the consumer a realistic choice of softwares. Microsoft complained against that at the European Court, and now, only ;) 3 years later, the 248-page ruling was published.
Well, you can almost imagine how it went on in the meantime: After Microsoft still didn't completely comply with the demands after two years, they were fined with another 281 million Euros in 2006. In early 2007, the European Commission complained that Microsoft charged too much money for the API documentation and threatened to fine another 3 million Euros per day (dated back from the 1st of August 2006) if they kept up that practice.
Microsoft's main lawyer said today that they will "analyze" the whole ruling and then decide if they keep going on -- but I have a feeling that this is the amount of money that Microsoft is not happy losing: I assume the judges at the European Court of Justice (the next and last instance) are already waiting for the appeal in the mail.

Navajo Code Talker Memorial at Window Rock, Arizona.
The Arizona Court of Appeals ordered a new hearing Thursday over the guardianship of a 6-year-old child who is subject to the Indian Child Welfare Act.
The Navajo Nation appealed the case, The Navajo Nation v. Department of Child Safety et al., in October 2018 after the juvenile court failed to hear the testimony of a qualified expert witness as required by the ICWA in the child's guardianship case.
The child, R.Y., falls under the act because his mother is a member of the Navajo Nation.
Tamara Shanker, the attorney who represented the Navajo Nation, said the act is an effort to rebuild indigenous culture after centuries of the removal of indigenous children from their families.
When an indigenous parent cannot care for his or her child, the ICWA prioritizes the placement of the child in the custody of a relative or someone from the same tribal nation.
Shanker said that since the juvenile court awarded permanent guardianship without the testimony of an expert witness, it opened the door for future courts to disregard other aspects of the act.
"A Diné individual is as different from a Pascua Yaqui, as an Italian is from a Dane," Shanker said. "Just because they may all just be European doesn't mean that they're the same individual and have the same child rearing practices."
She said cultural experts are necessary to accurately assess an adult's ability to care for a child by his or her cultural standards.
The act allows for three types of qualified experts to testify in its cases. One type of expert is a fellow tribal member who is a specialist in the culture's childrearing practices. The person could also be someone who provides child and family services to tribal members and is an expert on the tribe's familial organization. The court will also hear testimonies from a specialist with extensive experience and knowledge on a certain topic pertaining to the case.
The expert or experts testify as to whether the parents or an indigenous relative could raise the child without causing severe emotional or physical harm.
"We needed to have this decision, because to not get this would have set a very dangerous precedent. If you start chipping away at critical requirements under the ICWA or any law, it's like, 'If we can chip away that requirement, we can chip away this one next time,'" said Shanker.
She said that since the juvenile court did not follow all of the act's requirements, R.Y.'s custody was legally unstable. Someone could appeal the ruling and possibly remove him from his guardian's care. She said this was not the Navajo Nation's goal in pursuing the appeal.
Shaker said she hopes the new hearing solidifies the boy's custody and reinforces that even permanent guardianship cases must follow all aspects of the Indian Child Welfare Act.
On this edition of Your Call, we'll speak with oral historian Susan Devan Harness about her book Bitterroot: A Salish Memoir of Transracial Adoption.
The memoir explores her search for answers to difficult questions about race, identity and family as an American Indian woman adopted by a white couple. She also chronicles her reconnection with her biological family and conversations with other transracial adoptees.
We cannot currently track on a national level in any way how ICWA works, where children who are involved in ICWA cases are placed, what their outcomes are, or how many cases are transferred to tribal court, as examples. There is barely statewide data available, and most of it is on a county-by-county level. As just one example, Michigan is in a federal lawsuit over its data collection system.
I am deeply tired of hearing that tracking this information is simply too burdensome for the states that are putting children in care, and then getting hit in lawsuit after lawsuit with claims that are not supported by any data, but also cannot be refuted by data we refuse to collect.
If your tribe wants to submit comments, there will be model comments available before the deadline of June 18.
Consider this: The states pay foster parents - the bureaucracy secures money and keep those records, right?
Why not keep data on the kids they place? And did you know that once a child is adopted, no one from the state goes to check on the child(ren)?
Peter Lengkeek is one of 14 members of the Crow Creek Tribal Council. He said he is enraged by the number of children that the Department of Social Services has removed from his reservation. The Tribal Council recently passed a resolution saying that the state cannot remove children without the council's approval.
The children were taken to another county and placed in foster care. The foster parents were told wrongly that they could adopt the children. The grandmother then jumped through every hoop known to man in order to get her granddaughters.
A case before a federal appeals court could upend an historic adoption law meant to combat centuries of brutal discrimination against American Indians and keep their children with families and tribal communities. For the first time, a few states have sued to overturn the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, which Congress enacted in 1978 as an antidote to entrenched policies of uprooting Native children and assimilating them into mainstream white culture. Now, in a country roiled by debates over race and racial identity, there's a chance the 41-year-old law could be overturned by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, considered the country's most conservative court. (The law applies to federally recognized tribes.) Overturning the law, its proponents say, could significantly increase the number of American Indian children adopted into non-Native families.
Hundreds of tribal nations vehemently oppose the lawsuit. They say it threatens the sovereignty of Indian Country and seeks to "return Indian children to the arbitrary and discriminatory whims of state courts and state agencies, unfettered by the centuries-old trust obligations this nation owes to Indian tribes and Indian peoples." Meanwhile, some states and private adoption attorneys pushing for change argue the Indian Child Welfare Act interferes in state affairs and "requires them to place Indian children in accordance with statutory requirements based on race, rather than the children's best interests." Oral arguments in the case were heard last Wednesday in New Orleans. Whatever the outcome, the case is likely headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Somalis rally at Capitol in support of arrested men's families
About 100 members of the Somali community rallied at the Minnesota State Capitol Saturday to support the families of six young men who are charged with trying to join ISIS in Syria.
The demonstrators said they believe the suspects are being treated as though they are already guilty, and they're upset that the men will not be released from jail pending their trials, according to MPR News.
The six men, ages 19-21, were charged Monday with conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization following a 10-month investigation that involved information from a paid confidential informant to the FBI. Four of the men were arrested in Minnesota and the other two in San Diego.
Federal officials claim the men tried on more than one occasion to travel to Syria and join the terrorist group ISIS.
"Even when their co-conspirators were caught and charged, they continued to seek new and creative ways to leave Minnesota to fight for a terror group," U.S. Attorney Luger said in a news release.
Speakers at the rally claimed the men are innocent and believe they were set up, according to WCCO.
Abdullahi Salim, who said he's a friend of the suspects, told WCCO he doesn't believe they're involved in terrorism.
"I grew up here with them," he said. "These guys are really, really, really helpful guys. Whenever you need help, they're the first guys you call for help."
The mother of two of the suspects, Ayan Farah, also said her sons had never been in trouble with the law before, MPR News reports.
The Somali community has been critical of the arrests, and more than 200 people attended a court hearing for the suspects on Thursday.
Some have issued threats against the confidential informant, authorities said Thursday, and a Minneapolis man was charged Friday with making death threats against law enforcement officials who are handling the case, including Luger.
At Saturday's rally, participants said their protests would remain peaceful and disavowed those who were making threats.
They also called for leaders in the city and state to help the Somali community identify those who are convincing young men to become terrorists.
"This is not a problem for the Somalis. It's a Minnesota problem," said Mohamud Noor, one of the rally organizers, according to MPR. "We can defeat this process if we all come together."
U.S. prosecutors say dozens of people from Minnesota have gone overseas, or tried to, in support of the Islamic State. Other young Somali men were recruited to return to their homeland several years ago in support of another terrorist group, al-Shabab.

Q: How to check if EmptyView of my ListView is shown in Android? I am using a ListView and I show an EmptyView if the list is empty. How can I check if this View is shown with a boolean variable?
Here the code for my ListView:
deviceList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.DeviceList);
ListAdapter listenAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, deviceArray);

//add a view which is shown if the ListView is empty
deviceList.setEmptyView( findViewById( R.id.empty_list_view ) );
deviceList.setAdapter(listenAdapter);

A: You can do this in the xml using the "special" android ids. If you use this code in your layout xml file the empty text shows up automatically when required:
<ListView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:id="@id/android:list"/>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent"   android:text="@string/no_tasks" android:id="@id/android:empty"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"/>

The textview with the android:empty id only shows when the android:list component is empty.
I hope that helps.

07/09/2018 - California Select Training & Competition - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Tanner continues to show steady progress in his baseball abilities. In the OF, he displays smooth / fluid actions. He utilizes his quick feet in covering a lot of ground and makes the routine plays. He shows good game awareness and does a nice job of backing up bases. At the plate, he shows a tall setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with baseball jumping off the bat when centered. At the event, he was 5 for 10 with a 2B and 3B. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 67-68 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Control is solid as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program will help to increase arm strength which will aid in his development on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable.
11/09/2017 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition in Arizona (Ages 14-18) Tanner is a long, lean two-way player with raw ability and a projectable frame. His arm has really developed as he now gets up to 67mph on the mound and has a good arm from the outfield. He shows a simple approach at the plate, using all fields and covering the entire strike zone. He shows a square stride to get on time and make consistent, solid contact to all fields. In the outfield, he shows feel for the position with a quick first step and good reads on fly balls. He has a strong glove lane to field with presented hands and throw with accuracy to his target. On the mound, he works straight over the top and creates deception to hitters in his arm swing. He hides the ball well and features a mid to upper 60�s fastball. Developing a secondary pitch or two will allow him to get through lineups much easier. Tanner is a player we will definitely be keeping an eye on.

Gun Guide: How long does it take to get a firearm competency certificate?
Firearm Competency, Firearm Licencing, Firearms, Guides
In order to legally buy a gun in South Africa, one must first obtain a firearm license — whether for self-defence, hunting, or sports shooting.
The Firearms Control Act of 2000 (FCA) and subsidiary legislation make up South Africa's current firearms regulating framework. Every firearm requires its own license, and applicants must first get a Competency Certificate.
Such a Competency Certificate must be provided with an application to own a firearm, trade in weapons, manufacture firearms, or be licensed as a gunsmith under the FCA.
To obtain a Competency Certificate, the candidate must:
Be a South African citizen or permanent resident
Be at least twenty-one years old
Be a "fit and proper person" for the specific license
Be stable and without a tendency for violence
Not have a substance-abuse problem
Have no convictions for crimes related to violence, dishonesty, recklessness, or instability in the five years preceding the application.
The competency process
The process to obtain a Competency Certificate consists of relevant proficiency training, a test following the training to obtain a proficiency training certificate and eventually obtaining the SAPS Competency Certificate.
Proficiency training
Prospective firearm owners must first successfully undergo the prescribed proficiency training at a South African Professional Firearms Trainers Council (PFTC) accredited training centre.
Applicants must complete the required proficiency training according to the type of firearm they wish to apply for.
The proficiency training unit standards are the following:
Demonstrate Knowledge of the Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000 (Unit Standard 117705) as well as the relevant theoretical and practical tests (Use of a Handgun Unit Standard 119649, Use of a Manual Rifle Unit Standard 119651, Use of a Self-loading rifle or carbine Unit Standard 119650 and/or Use of a Shotgun Unit Standard 119652).
Proficiency training certificate
Upon completion of the proficiency training relevant to the firearm as prescribed, the applicant will receive a PFTC Statement of Results certificate and a Proficiency Training certificate.
SAPS Competency Certificate
Once an applicant is in possession of the above mentioned certificate, he or she may apply to the SAPS for a SAPS Competency Certificate.
Firearm Guide: Gun safety for parents
The applicant must complete the Application for a Competency Certificate (SAPS517) with a black pen only and submit the required supporting documentation together with the SAPS517 to the Designated Firearms Officer (DFO) in the area where the applicant ordinarily reside.
Applicants who already possess a SAPS Competency for one or more of the proficiency training unit standards but wish to do further unit standards will be required to submit a Further Competency Application (SAPS517a) for a Further Competency Certificate to the SAPS.
Gun Guide: May I use my spouse's firearm?
Applicants that are under the age of 21 but want to apply for competency, also need to complete the required proficiency training with an accredited training centre but after that the applicant must join an accredited club or association to obtain dedicated hunting and/or sport shooting status.
When applying to the SAPS for the competency certificate the applicant needs to provide such a dedicated hunting and/or sport shooting status certificate from his or her association, together with a letter from a parent or guardian verifying that the underage applicant is in fact an active dedicated hunter or sport shooter.
The applicant also needs to provide proof of his or her active participation in hunting or sport shooting.
Firearm licence application
Once you have obtained the Competency Certificate, you can fill in the firearm application form, attach the necessary documents and submit the form and the corresponding documents to the Designated Firearms Officer (DFO).
How long does it take to obtain a Firearm Competency Certificate?
Many applicants are currently waiting for a firearm licence application to be processed. People will have to wait 120 working days or more because the pandemic and firearm amnesty period have caused severe delays in the application process.
Assure Your Family's Safety by Protecting Yourself with Firearms Guardian
Firearm licence applications are currently taking at least 120 working days to complete, instead of the original 90 days the SAPS had first indicated.
More delays than usual have been caused by staff shortages due to Covid-19 and the firearm amnesty period, which ran until 31 January 2021, has further compounded delays.
According to a statement by police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo earlier this year, the South African Police Service Central Firearm Registry has been severely affected by staff shortages due to the pandemic, which has resulted in unexpected consequences on the service delivery front.
During the height of the pandemic, SAPS members were operating at reduced capacity to mitigate the spread of the virus and where positive cases were detected, buildings were also evacuated for purposes of decontamination, adding to delays.
How long does a firearm license application take?
The firearm amnesty period declared from 1 December 2019 to 31 May 2020 and later extended to 31 January 2021, has also compounded the delays in the process because the total number of firearm licence applications increased by more than 80% for the duration of amnesty.
Due to an entirely different process to that of a normal renewal of licences, such applications inevitably prolonged the turn-around time for their finalisation.
These delays resulted in a much longer turnaround time for all firearm licence applications and at the time the SAPS had extended the period to 120 days.
How long does a competence and firearm license take from the SAPS?
It depends on the load they have, but applicants should allow 12-15 weeks for the competence and another 3-6 weeks for the license.
How long does it take to obtain the proficiency training certificate?
When the tests have been marked, the certificates are normally printed immediately for applicants to collect, normally in the same week.
How long is a competency certificate valid
SAPS Competency certificate validity will be interpreted in one of the following ways by a police station, so you should confirm this with your DFO:

Riverdance at the Eurovision Song Contest 30 April 1994, Dublin #Riverdance20
Where were you on 30 April 1994? Tell us on http://www.facebook.com/riverdance 20 years ago, on April 30th 1994 something happened during the interval of the Eurovision Song Contest that was to lead to the creation of one of the most successful stage shows of all time and introduce the wider world to Irish dance and music. As votes were being counted around Europe, in Dublin in the Point Theatre (now the O2), RIVERDANCE burst onto the stage and took the audience by complete surprise. From the haunting vocals of anúna, the graceful elegance of Jean Butler, the explosive arrival of Michael Flatley and culminating in a long line of Irish dancers beating the stage in perfect heart-stopping harmony - a whole new genre of entertainment was born and 20 years and 25 million audience members later - Riverdance still astonishes globally. Riverdance would like to hear where you were on that extraordinary night. Share your memories online at #riverdance20 or on www.riverdance.com

1990's R&B Compilation volume 1 (1991-1993) Alternate version
Revizionary
***This is an alternate version because the original was blocked worldwide except the United States so I had to swap a couple of tracks. Unfortunately this is how it goes with copyright, but the 2 tracks I swapped are still good, just not exactlywhat I wanted. But at least this version is viewable for everyone worldwide. *Edited and Compiled by Revizionary* 0:00 Zhane - Hey Mr. DJ 2:59 Jade - Don't Walk Away 5:36 Bobby Brown - Get Away 8:26 Chuckii Booker - Games 11:26 Tammy Lucas - Is It Good to You 14:21 SWV - Right Here (Human Nature remix) 17:18 Joe- I'm in Luv 20:07 Mary J.

The new Jack swing era was upon us and the music had a jazzy flair with funky bass lines and up tempo hip hop beats that you could dance to, and just an overall fun atmosphere. I edited every one of these tracks in some way. Normalizing or increasing the volume, adjusting the eq for some, shortening tracks that I felt were too long, and also cutting any of the rap verses that some of these artists attempted that I felt took away from the song as well as other small tweaks. I really just wanted to make what would have been a really good compilation that I wished I could have purchased back in the days. I hope anyone who listens enjoys it and goes back in time for a little bit as I do when I hear these songs. Thanks for listening. http://www.patreon.com/Revizionary https://www.mixcloud.com/revizionary/

Long shot of a house in a residential neighbourhood. Zoom in on the house and we enter through the window.
Youth: I have a question. Once the electricity is produced at the power station, how does it get here right away?
Elder: Very good question, little one! Watch while I offer a demonstration.
Elder: No, better than that! A diorama!
Close-up of the young drop of water who understands nothing.
Elder: Don't move, I'll be right back.
Shot of the old man returning disguised as an electron, bringing along a model on wheels. They are backlit in front of the kitchen window.
Low angle long shot of the two characters. The old man's mask is uncomfortable. He turns to reposition it. He turns back, looking proud.
Elder: I am Electron, the super hero, accompanied by my loyal assistant, Diorama. Electrifying, isn't it?
Elder: Come on, trust me: you are going to be able to see the electricity travelling at almost the speed of light.
Shot of the young drop of water imagining the electron's transformation: she sees it leave like a flash into a tunnel.
Low angle long shot of the two characters looking at the model.
Elder: Observe carefully. Here is the power station. There, in the generator, the electron begins to move, thanks to the rotation of the rotor inside the stator. The generator turns because we droplets of water cause the turbine to spin and turn the generator.
Long shot of the two characters near the faucet.
Elder: When the electron leaves the generator, it has an electromotive force of 13 800 volts.
The young drop imagines her super hero growing bigger.
Elder: The reason why the force of the electron is increased is because in Quebec, it must travel great distances to reach its destination. This way, energy losses are limited along the way.
Elder: By the way, did you know that Hydro-Québec is a pioneer in high voltage distribution?...Hum? Yes, it is!
Close up of the model. The number 735 000 volts appears.
Elder: It then moves to a switchyard where its power is increased to 735 000 volts.
Close up of the model.
Elder: The electron then enters the transmission system and moves on to a strategic substation to keep its strength.
Elder: Then it moves on to a source substation where the voltage is lowered to 120 000 volts.
Shot of the old man's hand pointing to a satellite substation in the model.
Shot of the youth imagining the scene where the electron is made smaller: the electron is shrinking in a machine.
Elder: ...substation where its voltage is further lowered to 49 000 volts, sometimes even 25 000 volts, so that it may travel in the lines of utility poles.
Elder: ...depending on the appliance to be fed.
Close-up of the youth feeling sorry for her super hero who is now very tiny.
Elder: Yes, but this is the sacrifice it must make for the lights, television, washer and dryer and all other electrical devices in the house to work. And it's really not a sacrifice, because hydroelectric energy is renewable!
Long shot of the old man and the youth becoming enthusiastic once again. We hear the thunder.
Youth: Right! This means that we can always bring it back to life!
Elder: Yes... Hurray for Super Electron!
Elder: Well, as I explained earlier, before the electricity arrives at the house, the voltage is lowered from 25 000 volts to 120 or 240 volts. The transformer at the top of the utility pole does this job.
Youth: The one that can be seen from the window, out there?
The camera pans to the window and a view of the transformer on the pole located outside the house.
Elder: And so, each time someone turns on an electrical appliance, electricity enters the house.
Close-up of the old man with a superimposition presenting different components of the electrical network.
Elder: Not at all! Each time someone uses an electrical appliance, electricity is invited to enter the house. While the electrical appliance is consuming power. Hum! Hum!
But first the electricity enters through the power meter before going the distribution panel, then to the appliance in question.
Youth: Ah! But what is a power meter?
Elder: Ah HA! This is the device that measures the amount of electricity consumed so that Hydro-Québec can precisely establish the amount of our hydro bill.
Youth: What?! Do you mean that electricity is not free?
Flip-over shot of the first where we leave the house. The voices are off-screen.
Elder: Well, no! And this is normal. It is, of course, the result of our work, but also the result of a huge system that costs a lot of money.
Youth: Ha !... Does this mean that if I produce electricity I'm going to receive a cheque?
Elder: I'm still waiting for mine.

JOSEPH M. GREENBERG vs. JOHN T. LANNIGAN, JR., & another.
November 9, 1927 - May 28, 1928
Present: Rugg, C.J., Braley, Crosby, Pierce, Carroll, Wait, & Sanderson, JJ.
Contract, Construction, Performance and breach, To convey real estate.
The owner of certain land agreed in writing with a prospective purchaser to convey it for a certain price on a certain date by a good and sufficient deed free from all incumbrances, and the purchaser made a payment on account of the purchase price. The property was subject to mortgages. At the date set for the conveyance, the parties met. The purchaser was neither ready nor able at that time "to pay the purchase price for the property as fixed in the agreement if a proper deed had been tendered." The owner "did everything" he was "required to do under the agreement to sell, except that, if so required by said agreement, the mortgages on the property had not been paid or been discharged of record" before he tendered the deed to the purchaser, and he was not prepared to discharge the mortgages with his own money but did have in his possession discharges of the mortgages which he was authorized to record as soon as he received the purchase price. The sale was not consummated, and the purchaser brought an action of contract to recover the deposit. Held, that
(1) The deed tendered would leave the property encumbered by the mortgages, and the defendant therefore had failed to comply with the agreement;
(2) There was a breach of the agreement, and the plaintiff was entitled to a return of the deposit.
CONTRACT to recover a deposit of $500 made by the plaintiff with the defendants under the provisions of a contract in writing for the purchase by the plaintiff of real estate of the defendants. Writ dated February 24, 1926.
In the Superior Court, the action was tried before Flynn, J. Material evidence is stated in the opinion. The judge ordered a verdict for the defendants and reported the action to this court for determination, the parties agreeing that if upon the competent evidence, admissions and agreements there was a question for the consideration of the jury, then judgment was to be entered for the plaintiff for $500 and
interest; otherwise, judgment was to be entered on the verdict.
The case was argued at the bar in November, 1927, before Braley, Crosby, Carroll, Wait, & Sanderson, JJ., and afterwards was submitted on briefs to all the Justices.
H. Bergson, for the plaintiff.
T. F. Daly & E. F. Leonard, for the defendants, submitted a brief.
BRALEY, J. The terms of the contract required the defendants to convey the premises on or before February 1, 1926, by a good and sufficient deed free from all encumbrances. The plaintiff paid $500 of the purchase price when the agreement was made, and the balance remaining was to be paid at the registry of deeds at twelve o'clock noon on the first day of February, 1926, where the necessary papers were to be passed, unless the parties agreed in writing to some other time or place. But, no change having been made, they met at the time and place appointed. It was stipulated at the trial that "the defendants did everything they were required to do under the agreement to sell, except that, if so required by said agreement, the mortgages on the property had not been paid or been discharged of record, before the defendants tendered their deed to the plaintiff, and that the defendants were not prepared to discharge the mortgages with their own money, but that they did have in their possession discharges of the mortgages which they were authorized to record as soon as they had received the purchase price." It was also agreed, "if competent, that the plaintiff was not ready or able at the time . . . for performance to pay the purchase price for the property as fixed in the agreement if a proper deed had been tendered." The property was subject to three valid mortgages, and the defendants could not give a good and clear title free from all encumbrances unless these mortgages were discharged. It is contended by the defendants that, the promises of the parties being dependent, and to be concurrently performed, they were not required to give a deed of the premises until the plaintiff paid the remainder of the purchase price. But, even if the defendants had the discharges, which were duly
executed and ready for delivery if the purchase price was paid, the deed as tendered left the property subject to the mortgages, and, in the opinion of a majority of the court, having failed to comply with the terms of the agreement, the defendants held the money of the plaintiffs without consideration. Burk v. Schreiber, 183 Mass. 35. Wenz v. Pastene, 209 Mass. 359, 364.
By the terms of the report judgment is to be entered for the plaintiff in the sum of $500 with interest from the date of the writ.

Could someone plz explain to me what should I do to solve the runtime error?

A: Your layout file inflated by setContentView() in MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:17) has an ImageButton on line 22 (Binary XML file line #22) and it has an attribute that expects a Drawable but the value is not a Drawable (Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)). Likely it's the android:background since it's handled by the View constructor (View.<init>).
Often errors like these are caused by having an unsupported style reference in place of a Drawable.
In particular, the resource value read is a dimen resource (TypedValue type 5), not a drawable.

A:
Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #22
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable

check your xml file, try to clean and rebuild teh project
