Swindon Advertiser

Guy Awazi, inset, is the owner of Guy's Barber Shop on Drove Road.
A BARBER shop owner who kept cutting hair during Covid lockdowns has been fined almost £6,000.
Guy Awazi, who runs Guy's Barber Shop on Drove Road, was visited several times by council and police officers in the first and second lockdowns, and warned to close or face further action.
But Swindon Magistrates' Court heard he repeatedly failed to do it, arguing with police officers and refusing to give his details.
On one occasion he was arrested for obstructing police.
He was issued with a £1,000 fixed penalty notice, but he failed to pay. As a result the council took him to court. And on Monday he was convicted of breaching Coronavirus restrictions.

The bench fined him almost six times the amount of the original penalty notice and told him to pay within four weeks.
During both the first and second lockdowns in 2020, hairdressers and barbers were ordered by the Government to close.
But Guy's kept cutting hair, often in back rooms and upstairs, or in a van, court documents revealed.
Swindon Borough Council's trading standards department emailed the salon in May 2020 warning Awazi, of Standen Way, Blunsdon, they'd received a report that he had continued to operate in contravention of the rules. A warning letter was hand-delivered on June 11, 2020.
On June 26, council and police officers visited and issued a prohibition notice telling him he would be fined unless he stopped cutting hair.
The Government allowed hairdressers, among other businesses, to reopen on July 4.
But on November 5, the same day that the second lockdown came into force, police visited Guy's and found a man having his hair cut.
Four hours later, they returned having been told the windows were blacked out, to find another man had just received a haircut.
Five days later, police went to the shop's mobile van in Ramsthorn Close, Haydon Wick, where a male was sitting in a barber's chair, wearing a barber gown, who became very aggressive when challenged.
PCSO Jamie Moore reported that when the man ran his hands over his head cut hair fell from it. But he was told there was no proof a hair cut had taken place.
The other male in the van, who PCSO Moore believed was the business owner, wanted to know who reported him. He claimed the man was his cousin and he was helping him to move home.
"Throughout this incident, neither male showed any respect for authority and were more bothered about finding out who reported them than they were about listening to any advice I tried to pass, or about any offences they were committing," said the PCSO.
Matters came to a head on November 11, when council enforcement officer Peter Jones, PC Joseph Tedder and SPC George Mason visited Guy's to issue Awazi with a penalty notice.
The main floor of the shop was deserted, but upstairs a makeshift salon had been set up in a back room.
"I could see that a barber's chair was set up with a mirror in front of it propped up against the wall and various hair cutting equipment and [stationery] positioned around the chair and plugged into the wall sockets," Mr Jones described in his witness statement.

"The setup was clearly temporary and was in complete contrast to the professional setup in the main shop area on the ground floor."
Mr Jones saw man sitting on a sofa wearing a Thames Water top who claimed that he was a friend of Awazi and had just come to pick something up.
"When I questioned as to what it was he had come to pick up, the male refused to tell me any further information stating that it was a private matter between him and Awazi."
But Mr Jones was not convinced, and asked him whether he was there for a haircut – to which he outright refused.
Meanwhile, Awazi "refused to provide details and intensely contested the matter with us verbally".
His brother, who identified himself as Junior later arrived and also started to become argumentative about the evidence, Mr Jones stated.
After an hour of trying to explain and Awazi refusing to give details, PC Tedder arrested the 36-year-old for obstructing an officer under the Coronavirus restrictions. He later decided to give his details and was de-arrested.
But he was not forthcoming with payment, despite multiple phone calls requesting extensions and payment plans after the deadline, and Swindon Borough Council took him to court.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared in court last August, and was unrepresented at the trial on Monday.
Magistrates found him guilty, fining him £3,000.
They also ordered him to pay costs of £2,750, and a victim surcharge of £190, totalling £5,940. He will have until March 14 to make contact with the fines office, or he could be brought back to court.
Jay Blades says public now catching up with 'forward thinking' King on key issue
Jay Blades from The Repair Shop says the British public is actually only now catching up with King Charles on environmental issues. The BBC presenter said the "forward-thinking" monarch was way ahead of the curve when it came to climate action. Speaking at a panel discussion on craft and its relevance to the built environment, he said the King has already been "championing" this thinking for a long time. "A lot of people didn't like what he was doing, but the reality is it's the way forward."Source: PA

"In a forgotten industrial strip backing onto the Greenwood Rail Yard in Toronto's east end, Williamson Chong has transformed an old building supplies warehouse into a state-of-the-art coffee facility. Named the 2014 Micro Roaster of the Year by Roast Magazine, This Pilot 'hub' is the first roasting facility in Toronto that is open and accessible to the public.
Utilizing the open plan of the existing concrete block warehouse with exposed structure and service lines, the production cycle has been made transparent. There is a visual slice through the whole operation where customers, baristas, and wholesale clients can learn the narrative of the beans from their arrival from Direct Trade suppliers to their roasting and delivery using Pilot's full-time bicycle courier.
The rough shell is contrasted by finely detailed small spaces delineated by precise wood-clad shells and elements. Upon entry, the curved tasting bar is designed to maximize education and interaction. It is composed of a wrap-around concrete counter – like an unfolded paper clip – with a white oak base that conceals a dishwasher, under counter refrigerator, boiler, cold-brew coffee storage, a cash drawer, and most important, the boiler of the Modbar espresso machine. Because the boiler sits beneath the counter, leaving just the heads embedded in the countertop, the baristas can engage with the customers without a physical barrier.
Used for tasting and scenting various blends with scientific precision, the coffee lab and cupping room is slightly shielded from the rest of the operation. Clad in white oak paneling that is also used for the millwork shelves, drawers and cabinetry inside, it holds a bank of various coffee machines, grinders, and testing equipment and is used for training, experimentation and workshops. The custom cupping table is centred on a double paned window overlooking the production area while a glass pocket door for soundproofing and scent containment can either close off the space or open it to the adjacent tasting bar.
The third element is an office tucked at the back with sightlines through a large window to the activity on the floor. Equipped with a 24-kilo Diedrich roaster, the central floor space houses the main production area, storage racks, and packaging tables. This new-concept work environment invites the public in for a first-hand artisanal coffee experience while also educating about the process and precision required to bring great coffee to your table."

LuSH-101 (32-bit)
By D16 Group Audio Software Free
By D16 Group Audio Software
LuSH-101 is a synthesizer created from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synthesizers, all combined into a single compact and logically intuitive design. However, this basic simplicity combined with its multilayer architecture turns it into an easy-to-use instrument that can be programmed and tweaked quickly leveraging its maximum potential. The multilayer architecture guarantees that both the sound design possibilities and number of unique situations in which LuSH-101 can be used are virtually limitless. Layered sounds can be created simply by assigning the layers to the same MIDI channel. Assigning the layers to different keyboard zones allows you to create even the most sophisticated splits. You can always assign the various layers to different MIDI channels for 8-part multitimbral usage. LuSH also comes complete with a built in mixer, complete with layer-independent parametric equalizers and compressors.
LuSH-101 lets you create presets for single layer, for all 8 layers at once (including the mixer settings), but also allows the creation of presets for smaller blocks of parameters such as the mixer's send effects.

Loki Episode 2 theory reveals why Lady Loki hates the TVA
There may be more to Lady Loki's relationship with the TVA than we think.
Alex Welch
Question: where do TVA agents come from? The first two episodes of Loki, in all their various exposition dumps, refrain from explaining who the employees of the Time Variance Authority actually are.
It's said that they were all "created" by the Time Keepers, but that's not much of an explanation — especially since the actual existence of Time Keepers has yet to be confirmed. Even the TVA agents themselves don't seem to quite know how they came to be.
In one of the best scenes of Loki Episode 2, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) barrages Mobius (Owen Wilson) with a series of questions about his existence as a servant of the TVA, only for Mobius to brush him off.
"If you think too hard about where any of us came from, who we truly are, it sounds kind of ridiculous," Mobius says.
But no matter how content Mobius is to let the mystery of his creation be, there's reason to believe the TVA's agents aren't all just the Time Keepers' creations.
Dutiful Servants — One popular Loki fan theory proposes that the TVA's agents weren't created by the Time Keepers but instead started life as captured variants who had their memories wiped. That'd explain why the TVA agents are so unwavering in their commitment to the time-manipulating bureaucracy, and why they seem to exist away from everyone else in the MCU.
If correct, this theory further establishes the TVA as a legitimately evil organization worth taking down — an idea the first two Loki episodes have already played around with. It could also clear up how Lady Loki (Sophia Di Martino) not only continues to elude the TVA but appears so aware of their methods.
What if Lady Loki once worked for the TVA herself?
Sophia Di Martino in Loki Episode 2. Marvel Studios
Lady Loki's Wrath — The opening minutes of Loki's premiere made it pretty clear that the TVA doesn't waste time while capturing variants. And since variants aren't aware they've veered off the path of the TVA's Sacred Timeline until they're captured, there's little reason to believe a variant would be in possession of the knowledge (or indeed the time) necessary to evade capture after violating the rules put forth by the Time Keepers (supposedly).
Knowing that makes Lady Loki's extensive knowledge of the TVA and how to elude them particularly strange. Unless, of course, the TVA agents are really variants the organization chooses to "reset" rather than "prune," and unless Lady Loki was at one time a TVA agent. After all, if Mobius was willing to recruit Hiddleston's Loki, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that Lady Loki had similarly been tapped for service within the TVA in the past.
If she had her memories wiped then later restored, this would also explain how Lady Loki was able to escape the TVA — and why she's so intent on bringing the organization down. In her mind, the character would be not only seeking revenge after her own brainwashing but also aiming to stop them from subjecting others to such treatment.
"I don't get hung up on 'believe, not believe.' I just accept what is." Marvel Studios
The Inverse Analysis — Two episodes into Loki, it's clear that the TVA isn't nearly as benevolent an organization as it claims to be. The show's remaining six episodes will surely continue to unpack the implications and complexities of the TVA's role in the MCU, and there's probably more than a few secrets about the organization as a whole that are still lurking out of sight.
But so far, it certainly seems in keeping with the TVA's established methods to brainwash time variants into becoming agents. A dark and sinister possibility, it could conceivably resolve most of the mysteries surrounding the TVA.
Such a twist would add yet another layer to Lady Loki's already-fascinating crusade against the bureaucracy. (And for whatever it's worth, the TVA using a mind-wiping technology would also fit in quite nicely with the parallels that already exist between Loki and the Men in Black franchise.)

Yesterday, a star fell. He's always been one of my favorite actors, and with a biography entitled Loitering with Intent, you know he got up to some shenanigans.
When I think of Peter O' Toole, I think of this film. I saw it at the Ridge Cinemas with my dad. We had heard it was supposed to be funny, so we went one afternoon, my dad and me. There was maybe twelve people in the theatre with us, but my dad and I laughed for a full house worth. It was a terrific afternoon, and a movie that really made an impact on me.
Thank you, Peter O'Toole. for giving my father and me such a wonderful memory. From Lawrence of Arabia to The Lion in Winter to The Stunt Man, you gave everything you had in every role. Good movie or bad, it was a gig, and you showed up and did the best you could. For your incredible work on stage and screen, thank you.
STEAMPUNK GOES MAINSTREAM…and other things for geeks to panic about. Again.
First off, I'm sorry everybody. It has been far too long. Where in the name of clocks, gears, and cogs have I been?
Got a new job. Social Media Coordinator. And the best part, it's very close to home with telecommuting thrown in as a bonus.
After a month, got a promotion at the new job.
Got a new car. I'm driving a Nissan LEAF right now. LOVE IT!
Jumped back on to the Medifast train. My weight was out of control again.
Some of these things I intend to talk about later on this blog. (Stop laughing. Seriously. I am!) I also have to keep in mind, though, I have a novel to finish. I'm still on board with a steampunk reboot of MOREVI, so Rafe Rafton will be returning to the oceans this year.
It is this very subject — something that, I'll admit, people are coming to me more and more about for an opinion which feels pretty good — from where this rant finds its core. So let's turn back the clock to January 15, Tuesday, 10 a.m. At my new day job, a friend sends me a link to AdAge about IBM's fascination with steampunk. I ran the article on my Facebook page as this truly was the convergence between my day job and my writing career. IBM is tracking "steampunk" in order to find patterns between trends and fads. I also posted it on the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Facebook page and between the two, I got a whopping 6 shares. So maybe it wasn't as cool as I thought.

top eleven 2019 Hack has a very long history in domestic single aircraft, which is considered the most mainstream RPG mode. However, with the rapid development of game technology, today, this slow-paced combat mode is out of step with the times. There are almost no round-based RPG masterpieces in the world, and even domestic online games seldom use round-based combat. This super-unreal combat system created by technical restrictions in that year was quickly eliminated several years ago and reduced to some small choices. However, in the domestic single aircraft market in recent years, turn-based combat is still playing a strong role.
In fact, I would like to say that the game is the original sin rather than the original sin of the domestic single aircraft in recent years. The backward combat system represented by the round system can carry too low the game. For many players, compared with the unsightly picture, the most unbearable thing is the battle that lasts for 20 years, so boring that people can not sleep well.
Faced with more and more intense complaints, we can see that many manufacturers have made efforts, such as "Ancient Sword Qitan 2", "Wind and Drop Clouds", "New Swordsman Legend", "Xuanyuan Sword Legend" and so on, to turn the battle into a real-time or semi-real-time system. Unfortunately, the ultimate effect is mostly tragic... Well, after all, no one can eat fat in one breath. There will always be pains in the transition period, but it is better to encourage them than to stick to the rounds.
Judging from the dismal achievements of domestic single aircraft in the real-time combat transformation in recent years, we can deeply feel that Chinese manufacturers are not satisfied with their technical ability, and in the case of such limited resources, domestic single aircraft will allocate more resources to picture upgrading. Although the actual picture level is still not up to standard, it has indeed reached the limit that domestic manufacturers can control, resulting in gameplay. There is little room for improvement in innovation and optimization.

The USCG has reduced the testing rate from 50% to 25% of covered crew members due to the reduction of positive testing results. The Federal Register notice was published today. This will reduce the burden to vessels owners as the number of random tests will decrease. NACO applauds this action by the USCG as it shows the continued effort of the Charter Boat Industry to provide safe vessel operations for the multiple thousands of passengers who use our services.
NACO, through the efforts of our continued partnership with the USCG and the work of Capt. Ed O'Brien, USCG Liaison, Tom Becker, and other Executive Committee members, has continually worked on this issue. Our communications with members, the marine insurance program, and the Charterboat Consortium has encouraged compliance by all vessel owners and stressed the importance of a drug free work place. Our efforts have been successful and this reduction of the testing rate will ease the burden of vessel owners.
NACO continues to be the leader in the Charter Boat Industry in providing benefits that reduce the financial and regulatory burdens for our industry.

Q: How could I possibly shorten this script than how I am doing it? Trying to loop through every possible combination of characters. I've tried mixing various arrays, takes about three lines but then I can't concatenate. Or maybe there's a better way to concatenate as well? Where I have the +''+letters in between the quotes should be a line break but stackoverflow doesn't allow :P Sorry If I'm too vague I just shortened this script and altered it in a way it works the same but stackoverflow allows?
function go() {
        var letters = ('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz').split('');
        var p1 = '';
        var p2 = '';
        for (var i = 0;i < 27; i++) {
            var p1 = p1+''+letters[i];
            var p2 = p2+''+letters[0]+letters[i];
            var p3 = p3+''+letters[1]+letters[i];
            var p4 = p4+''+letters[2]+letters[i];
            var p5 = p5+''+letters[3]+letters[i];
            var p6 = p6+''+letters[4]+letters[i];
            var p7 = p7+''+letters[5]+letters[i];
            var p8 = p8+''+letters[6]+letters[i];
            var p9 = p9+''+letters[7]+letters[i];
            var p10 = p10+''+letters[8]+letters[i];
            var p11 = p11+''+letters[9]+letters[i];
            var p12 = p12+''+letters[10]+letters[i];
            var p13 = p13+''+letters[11]+letters[i];
            var p14 = p14+''+letters[12]+letters[i];
            var p15 = p15+''+letters[13]+letters[i];
            var p16 = p16+''+letters[14]+letters[i];
            var p17 = p17+''+letters[15]+letters[i];
            var p18 = p18+''+letters[16]+letters[i];
            var p19 = p19+''+letters[17]+letters[i];
            var p20 = p20+''+letters[18]+letters[i];
            var p21 = p21+''+letters[19]+letters[i];

        }
}

A: Generally, for creating combinations of characters, You may use recursion (or just a stack) like this:
function handleString(str) {

    if (str is valid combination of characters by Your rules) {

        doSomething(str);
    }

    for each character c that may be added to incomplete str by Your rules {

        handleString(str + c);
    }
}

You must be careful not to create endless recursion, all this depends on Your rules. For example, to create all possible 3-character strings out of alphabet "abcdefgh", it may look like this:
function handleString(str, alphabet, length) {

    // just in case...
    if (str.length > length)
        return;

    // if the string has desired length (my rule), use it as a valid combination
    if (str.length === length) {

        console.log(str);
        return;
    }

    // string doesn't have desired length yet, try adding
    // each one of possible characters from the alphabet (my rule)
    for (var i = 0; i < alphabet.length; i++)
        handleString(str + alphabet.charAt(i), alphabet, length);
}

handleString("", "abcdefgh", 3);

The 23nd Annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival will screen a pre-Festival pleaser: "Glickman," the inspirational story of an athlete legend who overcame bigotry, teamed with Jesse Owens, and revolutionized modern basketball imagery in the media. One night only!
Who got benched in the 1936 Olympics to placate Hitler and was replaced by Jesse Owens (who won the race anyway)? Who invented modern basketball broadcasting with terms like "swiiiish" or "top of the circle" or "baseline"?
The answer is Marty Glickman and you can hear his story on Dec. 11. Plus, meet the filmmaker who produced this remarkable documentary about Glickman.
The screening will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. at the Lawrence Family JCC, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, 92037.

How to Start Short Trip Co-Op Missions
The contract is easily one of the best GTA Online extensions we've seen to date – and it's not just because of all the celebrities it comes with. The contract adds the largest radio station update to date after launch, a new company that can be invested, and a large chunk of narrative content.
However, it also adds Short Trip Co-Op Missions. There is a lot to do, but if you want to relax with Lamar and Franklin, then check out these short missions. Here's everything you need to know about how to get started.
If you want to participate in Short Trip Co-Op Missions, then make sure you play with a 'partner' before entering Record A Studios in Rockford Hills. This building has been added to GTA Online through the contract update, but it will only be available once you have completed all the key missions that come with the contract update.
When you reach the end of this tale, you will be invited to Dres studio with Franklin and Lamar, who will open access to Record A Studios and the first Short Trip Co-Op Mission.
PLAY LIKE FRANKLIN – We can not wait to check this out!
When you first enter Record A Studios, the first Short Trip Co-Op Mission will be released – it's called Seed Capital.
After this, you should be able to find the following two missions – Fire It Up and OG Kush – by finding the Lamar Davis (LD) icon on the mini-map.
These missions are interesting and a unique GTA Online experience because they will force the player to play as Lamar or Franklin. If these prove to be popular, we may see older Grand Theft Auto characters brought back to the GTA universe through this system in the future. There is a lot Rockstar games can do with the content they have developed over the years.

Q: Multiple choice probability I just got out of an exam, and wanted to know the probability of the following: There is 28 multiple choice for 5 options to choose from for each question.
What is the probability to get 1, 2, 3,..28 questions right if it was all randomly answered?

A: We can get the probability to guess $k$ right answers through the Bernoulli's law:
$$P(k)=\binom{28}{k}\left({1\over5}\right)^k\left({4\over5}\right)^{28-k}$$

A: We have two posible results in each question:
1)The answer is  correct (with probability 1/5)
2)It's incorrect (with probability 4/5)
It could be modeled as a Binomial experiment, supossing that each answer is indepentent, so
if N=number of correct answers
$$P(N=k)=\begin{pmatrix} 28\\ k\end{pmatrix}(1/5)^k(4/5)^{28-k}$$ for k=0,1,2,...,28.


UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Russia appeared to seize the initiative in international efforts to end the conflict in Syria on Sunday as Washington scrambled to devise a new strategy for the war-ravaged country and France sent warplanes to bomb Islamic State targets.
"I think we have concerns about how we are going to go forward," Kerry told reporters. U.S. officials said Kerry was working on a new political initiative in New York that would include Russia and key regional powers.
Kerry also discussed Syria with Iran's foreign minister during a meeting at the United Nations on Saturday.
President Vladimir Putin derided U.S. efforts to end the Syria war, which has driven a tide of refugees into neighbouring states and Europe. He said Moscow, which this month sent tanks and warplanes to a Russian military base in Syria, was trying to create a "coordinated framework" to resolve the conflict.
He mocked U.S. plans to train up to 5,400 Syrian rebels to fight the group. "It turns out that only 60 of these fighters have been properly trained, and as few as four or five people actually carry weapons," he said.
A senior State Department official said if the Russians were going to play a greater role in the fight against Islamic State, it was essential to have talks on "de-confliction" - measures to avert inadvertent clashes between the militaries.
"We are just at the beginning of trying to understand what the Russians' intentions are in Syria, in Iraq, and to try to see if there are mutually beneficial ways forward here. We have got a long way to go in that conversation," the official said.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told Reuters he was ready to discuss Syria with Russia and stressed the need for coordination to avoid any "incident or accident" between Russian forces and U.S.-led forces fighting Islamic State.
France had until now only struck Islamic State targets in neighbouring Iraq.
A French diplomatic source said Paris needed to be one of the "hitters" in Syria - those taking direct military action - to legitimately take part in any negotiations for a political solution to the conflict.

Watch a Car Go a Blistering, Record-Setting 278 Miles Per Hour
Drew Weisholtz
There's fast. There's speeding. And then there's whatever this is.
A team of Swedes hit Nevada's Route 160 this past weekend and took out a Koenigsegg Agera RS for a ride. Not just any ride, though: driver Niklas Lilja got the vehicle to zoom at an average of 277.9 miles per hour, making it the fastest speed by a production car.
Lilja went out for a pair of runs, one in which he topped out at 272 miles per hour, while the other saw a top speed of 284 miles per hour.
In the above video, you can experience what it was like from the driver's perspective. It's riveting stuff, almost like the video is on fast forward when in reality the car is cruising along at speeds you'd never think of trying to achieve.
As for what it was like to be behind the wheel during the stunt, Lilja claims it was just another day on the road for him. "I wasn't nervous," he said. "The only hesitation was over the tires, as you always know that something could happen."

Incomes, College Degrees Greater in Rural Obama Counties

Since the last presidential election, poorer people have been moving into those counties where the percentage of the Republican vote increased in 2008.

by Bill Bishop and Robert Cushing December 11, 2008 July 17, 2019
The divide between rural Republican and Democratic communities isn't just about politics. The political division between red and blue communities is also a division between rich and poor, between those with college educations and those without.
Rural Republican communities on average have lower incomes and less education than rural Democratic communities. And those divisions are growing as people migrate.
For example, in rural counties where Barack Obama won by 20 percentage points or more, 19.2% of the adult population had a college or advanced degree. In rural counties where John McCain won by a landslide, only 13.7% of the adult population had a B.A. or graduate degree.
As the vote for Obama rose in rural America, so did the percentage of a county's population with at least a college degree. (See chart above.)
Incomes in rural counties also varied by the vote. In landslide Obama counties, income averaged $18,342 per person.
In rural counties where John McCain won by 20 points or more, the average per capita income was $17,005.
The division by politics, income and education is a nationwide phenomenon. Just over 600 counties (out of more than 3100 nationally) voted more Republican in this year's presidential contest than in 2004. The average per capita yearly income in those counties was nearly $18,800, according to county income tallies issued each year by the Internal Revenue Service.
Those living in the more than 500 counties that voted more Democratic this year than in 2004 had average personal incomes of $28,000, nearly 50 percent higher than the communities trending Republican.
The most Democratic counties (those where Barack Obama won by more than 20 percentage points) had average per capita incomes of $28,207. Those counties where John McCain won by similar margins had average personal incomes of just $21,308.
Places divided by income are also separated by education. In landslide Democratic counties, 32.7% of the adult population had a B.A. degree or better. In Republican counties where McCain won by 20 points or better, 20.4% of adults had finished college or graduate school.
More than thirty years ago, pollster Everett Carll Ladd Jr. wrote about the "inversion of the New Deal Order." Ladd was one of the first to notice that white workers with less than a college degree were voting Republican in larger numbers and that educated white workers were turning Democratic. The debate over whether white, working class voters have abandoned the Democratic Party rages on. (See the most recent paper on the "shifting and diverging white working class in U.S. presidential elections" here .) In the meantime, the results from this year's election show that there is certainly a geographic division in America based on class and status, as Democrats won in the richest and most educated communities in the country.
As people migrate, these divisions (political, educational and economic) among American communities are increasing. Again using IRS records, we tracked the average income of people who moved from county to county since the 2004 election. Those who trekked across state lines from 2003 to 2007 and settled in counties that grew more Republican this year had average incomes of $18,300.
The people who moved into counties that supported John Kerry in 2004 and then shifted more Democratic in '08 averaged $28,100 in yearly income, over 50 percent higher than those migrating to the reddest of counties.
There were 44 counties that voted for John Kerry in 2004 but for John McCain this November. Most of these counties are rural. The average per capita income of the people who moved into these counties between the two elections was only $16,500 a year — 34% less than those who migrated at the same time into the 331 counties that flipped from George Bush in '04 to Barack Obama in '08.
People with fewer money-making skills are moving into counties that are voting increasingly Republican. Those with higher incomes (and more education) are moving into counties that are voting more Democrat. The more lopsided the local political victory, the greater the differences in income and education.
We don't pretend to understand the full meaning of how this country is dividing. We can see, however, that America is polarizing not only politically, but also educationally and economically — and that a country Balkanized by skills and by income has more troubles than one that is simply divided by votes in a presidential election.

Q: How to create Dynamically generated views in WPF(MVVM) I have a list of Devices in the first type of the screen. When I select a Device it opens device screen in the second part of the screen. The problem is - I have almost equal structure for device's screen - Buttons with Commands and Labels with information. So if I have 1000 thousand devices, I have to create 1000 thousand views which are almost equal.

So I want to create a DeviceView where I would create buttons(Name and Command) and TextBox depending on a Device. So it would be perfect ho have only one view for all devices. But I don't know hot to implement it and now there are 3 views.

I already have ObservableCollection for all devices. Every device has an array of Commands and their names...
The mainView looks like:
And a view, for example for camera looks like
I'm doing it without any frameworks and on purpose to understand for myself.

A: if your structure for all devices is similar, move all needed to display information to your view model
public interface IDeviceVm
{
   string TurnOnCommandName {get;}
   ICommand TurnOnCmd {get;}
   .....
}
public class CameraVm : IDeviceVm
{
   public string TurnOnCommandName => "включить камеру"
   ICommand TurnOnCmd {get;}
   ...
   public CameraVm()
   {
      TurnOnCmd = ... // assigning your command
   }
}

Than use all these names in your xaml. Somewhere in your DeviceView.xaml:
<StackPanel>
   <Button Content={Binding TurnOnCommandName} Command={Binding TurnOnCmd}/>
   ...
 </StackPanel>

This way you won't need content presenter, just use one DeviceView. It wouldn't matter which device you pass, as long they all follow IDeviceVm.

Many vendors tout their commitment to the indirect sales model and success of their partners. Some even go as far as to say they're 100 percent channel, meaning they only go to market through resellers and other intermediaries. It's a nice sentiment, but nowhere near reality.
Many vendors tout their commitment to the indirect sales model and success of their partners. Some even go as far as to say they're 100 percent channel, meaning they only go to market through resellers and other intermediaries.
It's a nice sentiment, but nowhere near reality. A 100 percent channel-focused vendor is a myth, period. By going 100 percent channel, vendors believe they clear the routes to market, ensuring solution providers don't perceive a potential for conflict. But having a mix of direct and indirect revenue sources isn't a bad thing.
A 100% channel-focused vendor is a myth, period.
The challenge vendors face is earning the trust of their channel partners. They erect mechanisms and policies, such as deal registration and hard decks that define selling zones, to minimize conflict between direct and indirect sales. Vendors, no matter how much they appreciate the channel, need control (management), predictability and reliability in their sales forces. If they set a goal, they need a reasonable expectation that their sales channels – direct and indirect – will produce the requisite revenue. Unfortunately, vendors have neither the predictability nor control over how the channel operates or performs.
Channel programs exist to direct the performance of channel partners. Enablement programs, incentives, backend rewards, sales and technical support entice partners to invest in account development and closed sales. Tiered benefits – the standard precious-metal structures of Gold, Silver and Bronze – weight perks for the best performers, rewarding partners through meritocracy. And certification requirements get partners to invest in and remain committed to vendor brands and products.
Vendors cannot dictate how partners perform. Vendors and partners can agree on target markets, sales goals and expectations, but compliance is voluntary. If a partner does not perform, the vendor has little recourse except to lower its benefits and rewards. All the while, vendors spend millions of dollars developing and maintaining support mechanisms for performing and underperforming partners.
The channel's inconsistent performance leads every vendor to question its validity and necessity. No one vendor operating in the channel has an ironclad commitment to solution providers. Executive teams at some of the most stalwart channel-friendly vendors periodically challenge the channel model and wonder why they support it without a better rate of return. Channel chiefs are persistently in the crossfire of defending their channel partners while pushing their companies to remain engaged in indirect sales.
And, of course, there's customer choice. Just as vendors cannot tell partners how to perform or produce, they cannot tell customers where to buy. Certain companies, particularly large enterprises, only buy direct believing they'll receive better prices, service and support. Vendors would rather compromise their channel ideals to capture a sale through direct mechanisms than run the risk of a competitor getting the business.
Customer choice and the need for predictable sales performance are the reasons nearly every vendor has a direct sales team. Even the most ardent channel-centric vendors have some direct sales in place to support customers and complex products.
Does this mean channel conflict is a given? Certainly. In fact, channel conflict isn't a bad thing. It can be a motivator, pushing vendors and solution providers to define unique capabilities and value propositions to differentiate themselves from competition. Mixed go-to-market models require definition and management to control conflict, but they'll never eliminate it.
Another way of looking at vendors is recognizing them all as 100 percent direct – even the channel-centric ones. Why? Every route to market is a direct route, and channel partners – resellers, service providers, technology partners – are all customers. Partners can choose which products they buy and resell, making it incumbent on the vendor to earn and retain their business. In that sense, a vendor is always selling direct, even if the consumer isn't the ultimate customer.
It's time for vendors to shake off this idea of being 100 percent channel and embrace a total commitment to the customer, no matter who that customer is. By seeing everyone downstream as a customer, vendors can craft better relationships and engagements that lead to greater levels of productivity and returns on investment. Assertions of being 100 percent channel are nothing more than press-release hyperbole.

What Awaits the Costa Rican Retail Sector in 2021?
Industrial sector continues to show little impact

Like you, we are tired of corporate media that is politically driven and one sided. So we decided to focus on news that's important to people. We're Creating a Conscious alternative news network that we feel the world needs and we need your help! We can't do this without you! Support news and media that matters and that can help change our world!
The crisis that accompanies the retail sector in 2020 and which worsened with the arrival of COVID-19 in the country, will continue to be present. Experts predict a tight and complicated market in 2021. Bertha Mora, Costa Rican market expert explained that this situation will change as the same businesses are reintegrated into the economy.
"The retail market will continue to be very contracted and complicated and it will recover according to how the same businesses are reintegrated into the economy. The spaces that have been released as a result of the Pandemic open an opportunity to possible new locations for new businesses in the medium term. Even so, the two sectors that possibly cost the most to recover are Alajuela and Heredia due to the amount of m2 in retail that entered there in recent years ", she commented.
Office and Industrial markets
This picture is not similar for the office and industrial markets. In the case of the office space market, in the short term there is still a certain uncertainty due to the telework policies of the different local and multinational companies, since the formal implementation of a telework policy encompasses a number of variables that companies must define before formally implementing this policy. This will dictate how many unoccupied m2 will be the result of this implementation.
Industry relatively unaffected
Quarterly measurements in Costa Rica have determined that throughout the time that the Pandemic has lasted, the industrial sector is the least affected in terms of the dynamics of its occupations, not by its supply chains. The tenants in this sector who are affected do not close their facilities, they contract and look for smaller spaces to avoid ceasing operations.
"It is true that it can be assumed that the market grows in a less accelerated way due to a theme of aversion to risk and caution from investors. Those tenants who, if their operation has been affected, have decided not to cease their operations and move to much smaller spaces, Mora said.
Finally, Mora stressed that one of the advantages of investing in a physical asset of this type is that, it is less likely that the nominal value of the investment will be lost as long as there is no leverage factor that puts it at risk.

Your husband must be so proud of you, the sales clerk says. He is, I respond. Every time I do something like speak at the UN, it makes his stock go up at work. There are a bunch of people at his job who follow my career, they are always asking about what I am up to.
I am standing in the dressing room of my favorite store. I have just tried on a variety of outfits, ranging from leisure wear to an orange silk shirt that drew me to the rack like a magnet to a lodestone. So when the sales clerk asked why I always wear pink? I showed her the garments I had chosen and explained how each one helps me be a walking advertisement for my business.
My husband works very long hours. Yesterday, he came home exhausted after dealing with a database outage that derailed the project he was working on. He spent the evening finishing this project from our bedroom.
While he was working, I fed the kids dinner. Supervised a playdate with two other families. Fielded requests for us to attend events this weekend. And in between taking care of my family? I got ideas for work projects, that I filed away to execute after the kids went to bed.
My husband and I are equally committed to our family. However, his work takes priority over our family schedule. And my work? Fits around our family.
Why did I agree to this arrangement? Am I less capable than my husband? Did I earn less money before we had children? No and no. I agreed to this setup – indeed, initiated it – because this was the only way I could have three children.
Childbirth is physically exhausting. I also have difficult pregnancies, plus am committed to breastfeeding. With each child, I lose 18-24 months of my life. It is only now, when my youngest child is four, that I am back to where I was before I became a parent. And now? We are extremely fortunate that my husband has a job that involves no travel plus allows him to handle the morning routine for our older two children. But we have three tiny people who have softball games and dance classes. Whose tummies hurt and need to be picked up early from school because their eyes hurt from allergy season.
With each child, the odds go up exponentially that something will happen requiring the physical presence of a parent. That means many families have only one or two children. The greatest gift my being an entrepreneur has given my family? Is a third child who fills all our lives with joy.


In this timely work, Dan Krier examines the relationship between two phenomena that dominated the economic scene in the late twentieth century: the rising power of financial markets and the restructuring of American industry. He argues that corporate governance was transformed during this period into speculative teams of stock-optioned executives and activist owners. These teams encouraged a vigorous restructuring of American industry through corporate buyouts, takeovers, reengineering, and downsizing. Often portrayed in business discourse as initiatives to enhance the efficiency and long-range profitability of industrial operations, these corporate changes were, instead, primarily what Krier describes as speculative management practices, used to manipulate the trading price of corporate securities, even at the expense of operational efficiency and long-term profitability.
Krier also analyzes social intermediaries-institutions that connect industrial firms to security markets and allow them to interact. He focuses on corporate governance structures composed of stock-optioned top managers, big owners, and their representatives on corporate boards; financial accounting rules and practices; and the business media that analyze corporate actions and results.
Dan Krier is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Iowa State University.

Go to "What We Do" and read about this firms cases and clients. The AV RATED law firm of Stewart L. Orden is devoted exclusively to trials and litigation.
Securities fraud is a crime in which laws set to protect investors and securities traders are violated. Perpetrators of securities fraud may include stockbrokers, analysts, brokerage firms, corporations, investment banks, and private investors. For example, an analyst at a brokerage firm may give a stock a favorable rating in order to secure the company's investment banking business, despite knowing that the stock is not a smart buy for investors. In another example, a private investor may commit securities fraud by acting on inside information.
Securities fraud is a serious offense that can carry both civil and criminal punishments. Criminal investigations can lead to imprisonment; in fact, the government has expressed a strong interest in increasing the length of sentences for securities fraud to ten years. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) may investigate and impose civil fines against corporations or individuals suspected of securities fraud. The SEC acts to regulate against securities fraud by enforcing investment acts and laws..
Who Can Commit Securities Fraud?
Individuals and businesses can commit securities fraud. Lawyers can represent the party or parties who have been charged with securities fraud.
Brokers-dealers (misleading clients or advising based on inside information)
Financial advisors or analysts (purposefully offering poor advice or inside information)
Corporations (hiding or distorting information)
Private investors (acting on inside information)
Types of Securities Fraud
The most common forms of securities fraud that the SEC regulates against are:
Insider trading (trading based on information that is not available to the public)
Accounting fraud (keeping inaccurate books or presenting false information purposefully)
Misrepresentation (presenting misleading or untrue information about a company, or its securities, to an investor or the public)
Shareholder Fraud
Shareholder fraud occurs when a company conceals its debts or beefs up its earnings reports in order to mislead investors and stockholders. Shareholder fraud can cost people their retirement funds or life savings. A few prominent examples of companies that have been accused of shareholder fraud include: Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, and Adelphia.
Investment/Brokerage Fraud
Investment and brokerage houses commit fraud when they offer false or deceptive information to their investors in an effort to manipulate the market. The SEC has set business standards for broker-dealers to follow in order to advise investors well, and handle the flow of inside information fairly.
