Result: Derby County stun Leeds United to reach Championship playoff final
tip180 May 15, 2019 No Comments	62 views
Derby County beat Leeds United 4-2 at Elland Road and 4-3 on aggregate to set up a Championship playoff final clash with Midlands rivals Aston Villa. Derby County have booked a place in the Championship playoff final with a remarkable 4-2 victory over Leeds United at Elland Road, recovering from a two-goal aggregate deficit to progress through 4-3 on aggregate. The Rams, trailing 1-0 from Saturday's first leg, found themselves with a mountain to climb when Stuart Dallas found a way through 24 minutes in. County boss Frank Lampard brought on Jack Marriott towards the end of the first half, though, and that proved an inspired change as the striker kickstarted his side's comeback following a big error at the back from Kiko Casilla and Liam Cooper. Mason Mount levelled up the tie l...

Kemar Roofe scored the only goal of the match as Leeds United recorded a 1-0 win over Derby County in the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final at Pride Park. Both teams had chances during an open and entertaining affair, but Roofe's 55th-minute strike was the difference as Leeds secured an advantage ahead of the second leg at Elland Road on Wednesday night. There was a hugely controversial moment in the latter stages, though, when Derby were awarded a penalty before the decision was overturned by referee Craig Pawson's assistant. © Reuters The first real chance of the match fell to Derby in the ei...

Frank Lampard gets one over on his former mentor Jose Mourinho as Derby County stun Manchester United at Old Trafford in the third round of the EFL Cup. Manchester United have been knocked out of the EFL Cup in the third round for the first time since 2008 courtesy of a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Championship outfit Derby County this evening. Derby boss Frank Lampard got one over on his former mentor Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford on a memorable night for the Rams which will pile more pressure on the increasingly underfire United manager. The hosts took the lead through Juan Mata after only three minutes, but a goal-of-the-season contender from Harry Wilson levelled things up in the second half before United were reduced to 10 men when goalkeeper Sergio Romero handled the ball ...

Derby County net three second-half goals to run out convincing 3-0 victors over Premier League side Southampton. By Darren Plant, ReporterFiled: Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 16:56 UK Last Updated: Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 16:57 UK Two goals from Tom Lawrence have helped Derby County to a convincing 3-0 victory over Southampton in Saturday's fixture at Pride Park. The first opportunity of the afternoon went the way of the home side, but Craig Bryson was denied as Alex McCarthy got down low to smother the ball at the feet of the midfielder. Towards the end of the first half, Nathan Redmond tried his luck from distance after Charlie Austin had seen an effort blocked by Richard Keogh, but the winger's curler went off target. Both teams were creating opportunities in what was a rela...

Safety Management System - Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A.
Ente Nazionale Aviazione Civile (ENAC), the Italian Civil Aviation Authority, on 11 February 2003 entrusted ADF SpA with the task of managing the "A. Vespucci" Florence airport by signing a specific Convention to define the obligations involved in the management and development of airport activities, including those concerning the design, construction, improvement, maintenance and utilization of the systems and infrastructure required for the exercise of said operations.
A merger by incorporation between of AdF - Aeroporto di Firenze S.p.A. into SAT – Società Aeroporto Toscano S.p.A. was signed on 11 May 2015, effective from 1 June 2015, with the simultaneous change of the company name of the latter into Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. So, since 1 June 2015, Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. replaced the previous entity in all the deeds and relationships involved in the Convention described.
On 21 October 2003, ENAC issued Regulations for the Construction and Operation of the Airports ("Regolamento per la Costruzione ed Esercizio degli Aeroporti"). By identifying the Operator ("Ente Gestore") as the owner of the operating-functional correlation of the different institutional entities operating in the Airport, the Regulations lay down the requirements for the construction and operation of the airports opened for commercial air traffic and require an audit of the airport's compliance with said requirements by ENAC, as well as its certification by the same Operator (by issuing a specific Airport Certificate).
The Florence airport was certified by ENAC on 30 November 2004 after the necessary audits conducted to ensure compliance with the safety requirements laid down in the Regulations for the Construction and Operation of the Airports, which introduced the technical contents of ICAO Annexes (particularly of Annex 14 Volume 1 Aerodromes) concerning both the physical characteristics of the airport (infrastructures, systems, installations, adjacent areas) and the business and operating organization of the Operator (intended as a set of tools, personnel and procedures).
Pursuant to Reg. (CE) 216/2008 and related I.R., established by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Florence airport certificate has been converted in compliance with Reg. (UE) 139/2014 on the 21st December 2017.
One of the key elements of the SMS is the Reporting System, which is implemented to concretely monitor safety standards by recording all the aviation and non-aviation events occurred during airport operation in a special database created and managed by the Safety Manager.
Each abnormal event contains in itself data that, once appropriately revealed and investigated, may lay the basis to take the most appropriate corrective actions to avoid a possible future repetition of the event.
Each entity operating in the airport must cooperate and play its role within the safety programs of the airport by promptly reporting, in any case within 72 hours, any event that may impact or that impacted the safety of airport operations by using the Safety Report Form provided below.
There is also the possibility for each airport attendant to send voluntary reports for events related to safety but not included among those for which the compilation of the GSR is required.It is also possible to send anonymous reports to the Safety Office using the appropriate green mailboxes located in the terminal.
This Report is filed for merely statistical purposes and to analyse the causes of events with the purpose of preventing their repetition. Any personal information entered in this form will be processed in compliance with the Privacy Regulation(Reg.UE 2016/679).
Pisa airport is endowed with a dedicate system known as Safety Management System (SMS) which intent is to oversee the Airport Safety.
SMS is systematic, clear and fully-comprehensive method for Safety Management which is constituted by the airport management personnel, the airport policy and procedures with the aim of reducing and preventing incidents in the airport APRON area.
Safety Management is therefore a key component of Pisa Airport Management and it is carried out by Management personnel.
Safety is a first Pisa Airport priority and promotes safety behaviours and commitment in order to achieve an uncompromised level of safety. Safety, as a whole, is also part of the performance evaluation that Pisa Airport carries out to its personnel at any level.
In 2005, Pisa Airport implemented a Safety Management System process that fully complies with ENAC, Italian Aviation Authority, requirements..
Pisa Airport has also developed a reporting system in which are collected all the potential accident occurrences reported. The Reporting System is a key element which enhances the monitoring system of safety standards implemented through an evaluation of accident data collection.
Pisa Airport has also the goal of ensuring that all airport operators take part in the SMS and Reporting System by inviting them to fill out a Safety Report any time a potential accident event occurs in the APRON area. The Safety Report represents an important tool to collect a description of the events and supplies facts to begin an investigation of any irregularity. The "Ground Safety Report" form represents the main and most important communication tool between Pisa Airport and airport operators present in Pisa and has the purpose to avoid that an event remains overlooked.
There is also the possibility for each airport attendant to send voluntary reports for events related to safety but not included among those for which the compilation of the GSR is required.
It is also possible to send anonymous reports to the Safety Office using the proper mailbox located at the pedestrian access gate in airside.
In case personal identifiable data is supplied with "Ground Safety Report", such data will be treated in accordance to the Privacy Reg. UE 2016/679.

If you come to Singapore, you gotta eat this ...
Published Thu, Aug 6 20157:05 PM EDT Updated Tue, Nov 24 20156:43 PM EST
Aza Wee Sile@Aza_Wee
Lau Pa Sat Food Center in the Central Business District of Singapore.
Singapore's thriving gastronomic culture will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the city-state. Most locals' social activities revolve around food and Singaporeans are relentless in their efforts to find the best and newest dishes. But it is old-school fare, originating from around Asia in a reflection of Singapore's rich cultural diversity, that occupies a permanent spot in the hearts and stomachs of the Lion City's people. Here are ten of Singapore's best-loved dishes.
1. Hainanese Chicken Rice
Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Hands-down Singapore's most famous dish, Hainanese chicken rice is a version of Hainanese "Wenchan chicken," a boiled chicken dish, eaten with a dip made of spices from Hainan, China, and adapted by early immigrants from southern China.
The main ingredients are steamed or roasted chicken, rice and a clear chicken broth. Some might argue that the measure of the chef's prowess is the rice. Deceptively simple in appearance, the authentic flavors are hard to master, as celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay would know.
In a highly publicized cook-off in 2013, Ramsay's attempt at chicken rice lost to Foo Kui Lian's, owner of the popular Tien Tien Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant chain.
2. Mee Pok / Bak Chor Mee
Fishball noodles.
Mee Pok is a local noodle dish, served with either fish balls (Yu Yuan Mee Pok) or mushrooms and minced meat (Bak Chor Mee Pok). Thick, flat wheat noodles are blanched in hot water before being tossed into a mixture of chili, oil, vinegar, soy sauce and pepper.
For diners lacking Singaporeans' casual tolerance for spicy tastes, tomato ketchup can substitute for the chili.
3. Chai Tow Kway (Fried Carrot Cake)
Chai Tow Kway (Fried carrot cake).
This one catches out every visitor, because the savory dish is neither a cake nor made of carrots.
White rice cakes made of a radish and rice flour mixture are marinated in fish sauce and dark soya sauce, before the dough is cubed and fried with eggs, oysters and prawns.
4. Laksa
Laksa Lemak.
Laksa is a thick sauce (known as gravy) and noodle dish with fish cake, prawns, cockles and bean sprouts added. This dish is of Peranakan origin. Peranakans are the ethnic Chinese who settled in the group of British territories located in Southeast Asia, and adopted certain aspects of Malay culture. There are two main variations of the dish, characterized by different soup bases.
The first is Laksa Lemak - white noodles served in a spicy and creamy broth, heavy with coconut milk. It is also known as Katong Laksa because of the concentration of Laksa restaurants in the Katong area of Singapore. The second version is Assam Laksa, with a tangy, fish-based broth, served with lots of fresh mint leaves.
This dish can also be found in Malaysia, typically in areas with high Peranakan populations, such as Malacca or Penang.
5. Nasi Lemak
Nasi Lemak.
Nasi Lemak is regarded as Malaysia's national dish and its popularity in Singapore harks back to the period in the city-state's history when it was a part of British Malaya.
The dish is composed of fragrant rice steamed with coconut cream, deep-fried fish or chicken wings, a fried egg and sambal (a chili condiment). Garnishes include sliced cucumbers, peanuts and fried ikan bilis (anchovies).
It is a popular breakfast option that is sold by both the Chinese and Malay food stall operators, known as hawkers, who cook it using numerous variations of the different components .
6. Rojak
Rojak.
Rojak is Malay for "mixture." This traditional tropical salad consists of bean sprouts, deep-fried soybean cake (tau pok), fried flour strips (you tiao), turnip, pineapple, cucumber and chopped roasted peanuts. The salad dressing is a sweet and spicy fermented prawn paste that can take some getting used to.
7. Satay
Satay, with Kutupat and peanut sauce.
Photographer | Collection | Getty Images
Satay originated from Arab traders who traded in Southeast Asia in the 15th century, and was adopted into the Malay cuisine.
The meat skewers are barbecued over a charcoal fire, and served with a side of fresh onions and cucumbers, ketupat (Malay rice cakes wrapped in a weaving pattern of coconut leaves) and a sweet peanut sauce.
8. Roti Prata
Roti Prata -- Roti is malay for "bread" and Prata or Paratha means "flat" in Hindi -- is a fried pancake served with sugar or curry. It is ubiquitous around Singapore, sold mostly by Indian Muslims at coffee shops or hawker centers and commonly eaten at breakfast or as a late-night supper.
The prata-making process is a delight to watch - the cook twirls the piece of dough in a circular motion until it thins out, before it is folded into a multi-layered pancake that is then fried on a griddle.
9. Kaya Toast
Kaya Toast.

Kaya (coconut jam) toast is a breakfast or tea staple in Singapore. Kaya is generously spread on crust-less bread slices along with a dollop of butter.
It is generally ordered in a set with the local coffee and soft-boiled eggs, which the kaya toast is dipped into.
10. Durian
Durian fruit.
Although this is technically a fruit, durians are a must try when in Singapore. Be warned though, to say it is an acquired taste is an understatement.
"A rich custard highly flavored with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavor that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine and other incongruous dishes," wrote Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist in his 1869 book "The Annotated Malay Archipelago."
Nicknamed the "King of Fruits," the odor of durian is so overwhelming and penetrating that it has been banned in most public spaces, hotels and modes of transport in Singapore.
The architecture of the Esplanade – Theaters on the Bay, a performing arts center in Singapore, was inspired by the fruit's thorny shell.

Q: Swift SpriteKit losing memory after multiple scene changes I'm making a game in Swift where everything is a scene made using SpriteKit (basically just menus + game scene). Currently, I never need to save any data from one scene to the next, so I just always present a whole new scene when changing menus or going into and out of the game scene. Recently, after a few scene changes the app will crash with this weird error:
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0)

This literally just happened after going from my main menu to another scene and back a bunch of times in a row. The number of times it takes to cause an error isn't constant, it just seems kinda random. Here's an example of the scene changing code I use:
let new_scene = LevelEditorScene(size: CGSizeMake(self.scene!.view!.frame.width, self.scene!.view!.frame.height))
new_scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
new_scene.currentLevel = tempLevel
let transition = SKTransition.crossFadeWithDuration(NSTimeInterval(0.5))
self.scene!.view!.presentScene(new_scene, transition: transition)

Every other time I change scenes uses nearly identical or identical code (basically passing in values to the next scene if needed).
Also, there is a certain combo of going from scene to scene that almost always crashes it, and this time it errors at a specific line in my code every time.
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=EXC_I386_GPFLT)

It always happens in this loop:
//CUSTOM_LEVELS is an array of CustomLevel objects, which extend SKShapeNode
for tempLevel: CustomLevel in CUSTOM_LEVELS { //I specify the type because it compiles faster, it still errors without it
    tempLevel.position = CGPoint(x: SCREEN_WIDTH * 2, y: SCREEN_HEIGHT / 3) //Errors here
    self.addChild(tempLevel)
}

Now, I can inspect tempLevel in the debugger and it produces this:
expression produced error: /var/folders/4r/5bbkqbjj3rvg0nvw28r8_vdr0000gn/T/lldb/30274/expr9.swift:1:46: error: use of undeclared type 'Ricochet'
$__lldb__DumpForDebugger(Swift.UnsafePointer<Ricochet.CustomLevel>(bitPattern: 0x121b24fa0).memory)
                                             ^~~~~~~~
/var/folders/4r/5bbkqbjj3rvg0nvw28r8_vdr0000gn/T/lldb/30274/expr9.swift:1:45: note: while parsing this '<' as a type parameter bracket
$__lldb__DumpForDebugger(Swift.UnsafePointer<Ricochet.CustomLevel>(bitPattern: 0x121b24fa0).memory)
                                            ^

See how it doesn't know what the type "Ricochet" is? Well, Ricochet is the name of the app.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks!
EDIT: I have been playing around with the app on my phone and the crash hasn't been happening. Is it possible that there's a bug with the simulator? Anyway, if anyone knows what it is, I would love an explanation, but for now I'm not going to worry about it more.

There are particular things you can do to make a room appearance bigger, one of the cheapest and easiest is to put up wall mirrors as this tricks the eye into thinking it's action of the room! Keep it nice simple; just have the empty necessities there such as the dining room table and chairs. Bookcases, sideboards and console tables definitely will just make the space look smaller and cluttered. What decoration table you buy all depends naturally on the area you have, if it is a long rectangle then a game table won't fit, a challenging narrow one will look considerably more efficient and be more useful, you don't want guests being forced to squeeze past other friends to get to their chair! You're actually have a dining room, just an area that's an extension in the living room, then a tiny round table tucked inside the corner might be sufficient and won't take up a lot space, look out for oak household furniture styles that are balanced on a pedestal instead of legs because they allow you to have the opportunity of adding extra chairs around the desk when you need to make room to get more detailed guests. Or benches are always a good idea too if you have a long rectangle-shaped table as they take up less space, and more people can stay if necessary. As well as taking up fewer room they add to the tidy, organized look of the area and create an open, romantic space. Round dining platforms tend to open a space up a bit more than other shapes and due to its roundness there are no sharp corners to contend with therefore more people can generally get around it than other types. There's also more walk around space too helping to create the illusion that the room is definitely bigger than it actually is, so that as it only takes up the centre within the room it lets you effortlessly fit a small corner cupboard or perhaps hutch. It's not that difficult to produce a room look nice without sketching attention to the fact that it's around the small side, check out stretching out dining table sets for range and prices.

Q: Type error of getting average by id in KDB I am trying make a function for the aggregate consumption by mid in a kdb+ table (aggregate value by mid). Also this table is being imported from a csv file like this:

Where the meta data is for the table columns is:
mid is type long(j), value(j) is type long and ts is type timestamp (p).

Here is my function:

It certainly isn't as big of a story as Sun being acquired by Oracle, but it is worth noting. SpringSource has announced that they have acquired Hyperic. SpringSource is the company that is the driving force behind the Spring Framework which is arguably the most widely used open source Java framework in enterprise software today. Hyperic provides a software suite for monitoring applications and servers and they have recently been dabbling in providing some of these services for the cloud. The team up of these two vendors is especially interesting because they both offer some great services and tools in through open source. This partnership could really allow even more granular visibility into the Spring stack for monitoring. It will be interesting to watch and see if we start to see a move to OSGi component monitoring especially in the context of the SpringSource dm Server. I hope to see great things out of this and expect that there will be a lot of value there for the open source community. We should watch for more tools for monitoring applications in the cloud as well from this pair.

If the state kills the vacancy bonus, a new one could respawn
Rent Guidelines Board hasn't applied a vacancy increase since the 1990s
Apr.April 25, 2019 03:15 PM
Ahead of the Rent Guidelines Board's final vote, board members can submit their own proposals (Credit: iStock)
Even if Albany eliminates vacancy bonuses for rent-regulated units, the city's Rent Guidelines Board can simply implement a new one, members said Thursday.
During a day-long hearing, the board discussed what actions its members could take if the state eliminates a 5 to 20 percent-plus rent bump landlords can apply when a rent-stabilized unit is vacated. The RGB hasn't decided to apply a vacancy increase since the late 1990s, when the state's vacancy bonus was implemented.
The Rent Guidelines Board hearing
Scott Walsh, an owner's representative board member and a Forest City alum, indicated that he plans to propose a vacancy increase for the board to potentially vote on in June, though he wouldn't provide details on any percentages he's considering. During a break in Thursday's hearing, board member Patti Stone, an attorney with Rosenberg & Estis, indicated that she also hasn't determined what kind of percentage she would propose.
Ahead of the RGB's final vote, board members can submit their own proposals, which need a total of five votes to be approved. Typically, there are between six or seven proposals.
Executive Director Andrew McLaughlin noted Albany is expected to decide on the vacancy bonus issue and other proposed changes before the board's final vote on potential rent increases. A vacancy rent increase could be introduced into whatever proposal is voted on during the board's final vote, even if it's not presented in the initial May vote, McLaughlin said.
"It would have to be a reasonable number that wouldn't be challenged," he said.
Vacancy bonuses, along with vacancy decontrol, Major Capital Improvements and Individual Apartment Improvements, are among the programs potentially on the chopping block this legislative session. The New York State Assembly is expected to host the first of two hearings on those proposals on May 2.

JOHN O'SULLIVAN JOSEPH E. POSTMA
Bogus Greenhouse Gas Numbers Create Waterless Earth by John O'Sullivan, guest post at Climate Realists
Thursday, August 18th 2011, 4:06 PM EDT
Bogus Greenhouse Gas Numbers Create Waterless Earth
According to the numbers fed into government equations for the greenhouse gas effect (GHE) Earth would not have any liquid water at all. This is a key revelation of astrophysicist, Joe Postma's new paper.
"Is any model that can't give us liquid water a model worth trusting?" So asks Postma as he goes about providing an alternative Earth climate model that uses the same starting and finishing points as does the GHE i.e. his numbers balance Earth's in = out energy budget.
Postma's alternative model accommodates something utterly critical: it factors in a wet Earth made up of mostly liquid water. By contrast, the standard GHE model used by IPCC/NASA does not. Their version requires all water on Earth to exist only as frigid ice. "Hardly credible" and "junk science" says an emergent group of skeptics known as the Slayers.
An Earth Model with No Water is No Good
Astrophysicist Postma, one of their newer recruits, posits that any model of the Earth that doesn't factor in liquid water is unphysical junk. Who can disagree with that statement? The first half of Postma's paper sets out the numbers for the standard GHE model and thereafter he lays out his version and invites us to determine which is the more credible.
The numbers at the start and end points have to be the same for both models – we know this because the sun's energy input and output is measurable as per the satellite data – no credible scientists disputes that. So both Postma and his adversaries, those government GHE aficionados, scrupulously start and finish with the same amount of (solar) energy: so that what comes into our atmosphere must also go out.
Anyone who reads Postma's paper THOROUGHLY discovers that the standard GHE model is already on shaky ground right from the start because for it to fulfill it's in=out balance, it has to make Earth so cold that no liquid water can exist. Is this the fatal flaw in the standard equations of the GHE that skeptics have been looking for? Postma gives us an emphatic "yes" and sets out his argument in great detail.
No Night or Day on Climate Scientists' Earth
GHE aficionados integrate all incoming energy over day and night i.e. 24-hour periods, so that the peak insolation near Zenith is obscured. But water has a non-linear response to energy input that means the GHE model fails to capture important processes in the climate system that will affect the calculation of temperature without a GHE. Once water is warmed it creates its own microclimate which retains more heat and that is what climatologists failed to factor into their numbers.
Postma says:
"It's a non-linear, step-function response to power input. Power input of 240 W/m2 could never breach that step function and so could never explain what exists beyond it. But a power input of 1370 W/m2 distributed over the hemisphere it actually impinges CAN breach that step function.
And so you have completely different worlds…completely different characterizations of the physics. You get an atmosphere and a water planet and warm surface all from sunlight."
In essence climatologists botched their numbers, cut corners and chose to work with averages instead of real numbers and real boundary conditions. Postma and the Slayers group of climate analysts demonstrate the problem further by asking readers to consider certain real world analogies comparable to what is being debated by scientists in their less readily understandable and arcane parlance.
Simple Analogies Complement Complex Equations
For example, the Slayers use the 'cooking' analogy whereby in cooking food the outcome may be radically altered because cooking some foods for 2 hours at 200 degrees C., although mathematically ok will not give the same physical output as cooking for 8 hours at 50 degrees C.
Postma finesses this argument on Judith Curry's blog and addresses the importance of the boundary conditions set for us i.e. the GHE equations are flawed because they do not permit liquid water to exist. He shows how by averaging the solar input of energy across the whole sphere the GHE gives only a weak twilight rather. But like the cooking analogy above, if we discard the GHE and model our planet more accurately with a day/night difference, the intensity of the daylight on the half-lit sphere suddenly warms the surface with sufficient intense energy to create liquid water.
On this he said, "The Wattage only impinges one side of the Earth." Once we adopt a night/day model it means the input is much warmer than the output on the daylight side. Joe concludes that thus, "The input is warm enough to sustain a water planet without a GHE necessarily." |Joseph E Postma | August 17, 2011 at 1:54 pm |
The crux of Postma's message is that the GHE model is busted because climate scientists haven't learned the difference between temperature and energy such that their failing to accommodate the existence of liquid water is the fatal flaw in the standard GHE model.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't want daughter keeping up with Kardashians
Jerry Seinfeld performs on stage at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on June 5, 2017 in Washington, D.C. Credit: Getty Images for David Lynch Foundation / Tasos Katopodis
By Andy Edelstein andy.edelstein@newsday.com Updated June 9, 2017 2:27 PM
Jerry Seinfeld is no fan of "Keeping up With the Kardashians."
In fact, the Massapequa-raised comedian says the only time he got "really, really upset" with his 16-year-old daughter, Sascha, was when he discovered her watching the Kardashians on her phone.
"I never lose it around them," Seinfeld said in an interview with the British fashion website Mr. Porter. "The one time I really, really got upset was when my daughter was watching the Kardashians on her phone in her bed and I could not take that scene. For someone who, for their whole life, television was the Olympics of being a comedian. It [being on television] was only for the very best. You had to have everything. You had to go through all the different hierarchies of your career to get to television."

And he added: "I'm offended by reality television on many levels and that show, of course, is the premier example of reality television. These people are not doing anything interesting. I lost my temper with that one."
Elsewhere in the interview, he talks about what it takes to be a great dad (in addition to Sascha, Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, are parents to son Julian, 14, and Shepherd, 12).
"It's about, 'I'm going to take care of you in a way you're not even going to understand till I'm probably dead,' " he said. "That to me is what being a great dad is. Just dealing with everything you have to deal with, to hang in there. You're not going to understand your father till way, way deep in your life. You're not going to understand what he did, the value of what he did."

Aquino, Abad face technical malversation raps over DAP before Ombudsman
July 8, 2016 DF Balita Philippine Military News, PHILIPPINES
Former President Aquino and Budget secretary Butch Abad is facing technical malversation and usurpation of power raps
The complaint was filed by a group of activists before the Office of the Ombudsman
The group also want Aquino and Abad charged with graft and corruption
MANILA, Philippines – Former President Benigno Aquino and his Budget secretary, Florencio 'Butch' Abad, is facing technical malversation and usurpation of power complaints before the Office of the Ombudsman.
The cases were filed on Friday, July 8, by Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) chairman Dante Jimenez, Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General Renato Reyes against Aquino and Abad over the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) which has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
DAP is a scheme devised by the Aquino administration, which is essentially a program that allocates "special" budget to hasten or accelerate government projects without going through the legislative scrutiny and approval.
In a statement to the media, Zarate said Aquino and Abad should be held liable for technical malversation and usurpation of legislative powers. He also recommended that the two be charged with graft and corruption
"The DAP was nothing more than the presidential pork barrel taken from forced savings then realigned for pet projects of the President," said the lawmaker. "It was not a stimulus program as many of the projects approved by Aquino had nothing to do with stimulating the economy."
In September last year, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales revealed that the anti-graft body's investigation of DAP is still on-going to determine the role of Aquino and Abad in implementing the controversial and now outlawed economic stimulus fund.
Last month, both Aquino and Abad expressed their readiness to face the charges once both of them stepped down from office.
"The President and I have analyzed DAP up to its tiniest detail and we are prepared for any case arising out of it," Abad reiterated; further arguing that there is no bad faith on their part in as far as implementing the program is concerned, and that the Supreme Court itself has declared that DAP benefited the economy and the country when it supposedly accelerated economic growth in 2012 and 2013.

Geek, cargo bike sensation, and food lover.
Thijl Klerkx, 23 years old, born and raised in Amsterdam. Fifteen years ago I discovered my love for technology. Ten years ago I started to love entrepreneurship. Nowadays I combine my big loves as a founder of Dayli. My goal: making tasty, healthy food easy and affordable for everybody. Here you can learn more about my story.
At elementary school my parents got their first computer with modem. All the sudden I could go online and see a livestream of elephants somewhere in Africa. Internet had magic to it. A little later I saw Ben Woldring on a dutch tv show, a thirteen year old who had made a website. This completed the magic: through the internet you could not only look at interesting stuff from around the world, you could also add to it yourself. You did not need money and your age did not matter. On the internet, anybody with a connection was the same.
As a consultant I was working all the time and never cooked. I would eat out or order in every single day. It cost me a lot of money and gained me a lot of weight.
That's how I came up with Dayli. A delivery service offering healthy and more varied food. Of course with quick delivery and a low price. Dayli makes it possible to order in every day and still eat healthy, tasty, and affordable.
At the end of 2016 I gave up my comfortable life and high income, invested all of my personal savings, and founded Dayli. The app can be downloaded through the app stores and Eatdayli.co. The app offers you a choice of three healthy meals each day, meals are €10 only and are delivered warm, within 20 minutes.
After stopping Thijl.nl my mentor and retail guru Roel van den Berg introduced me to the world of big international companies. Several big corporations from around the world invited me to work on their future in a digital world. This was an ideal way to combine saving money, traveling, and learning more about the world of big business, innovation, and technology.
Among others I had the pleasure to work for Corio, KLM, Randstad, SNS, and Bavaria.
Thijl.nl had become profitable and my turnover kept growing, but I did not see enough progress. To grow into a real business I needed serious investments. I had made my way through high school and surely didn't want to spend more time at school, but I did not really have a plan ready to grow Thijl.nl into a fulltime business.
I made the hard decision to stop Thijl.nl At this point I could not grow it the way I wanted and decided to focus on something new.
You'd almost forget that next to being an entrepreneur I still had to go to school. It was hard to stay focused with the exciting stuff going on in the world of business. After six years on Het 4e Gymnasium I got kicked off because of my bad results. I continued on het Joke Smit College where I was offered more flexible classes. This way after eight years I finally managed to receive my vwo diploma.
After two years of preparation I launched Thijl.nl on April the 15th, 2010. This was not an instant success. I had been working on this for two years but the real workd had only just started. Step by step I managed to grow my customer base and maken Thijl.nl a small but profitable company.
When I decided to hire someone to do deliveries during office hours (read: school hours) business got even better. I soon added some really cool companies to my customer base.
No matter how enthusiastic I was about the concept of my delivery service, I did not have enough capital and experience to start such a complex business on my own. When I saw entrepreneur and investor Annemarie van Gaal on tv I decided to e-mail her.
I didn't really expect any response but I could not have been more wrong. Within two hours I received an invitation to meet Annemarie at her office. In the following years Annemarie coached me and invested in my company.
At this stage, an experienced individual offering such unconditional trust and support is just invaluable.
After the sale of Ditix Webhosting it was time to go to high school. Business ideas kept coming and soon I couldn't wait to stop my job as paperboy and start a business.
When I heard about Freshdirect.com, an American business delivering fresh food, meals, and snacks of high quality I immediately got intrigued. Delivery services for groceries were around, but they did not sell organic food at that time. This is how the idea for Thijl.nl was born.
After six months in business we sold our company for €420. Too much work on top of the final year in elementary school. A week later the first iPod video was launched and gone were my earnings.
Through books and the internet I learned to build websites in HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. I used the free webhosting from Planet Internet to publish them.
Every weekend I would work hard on my website. In the evening, when dialing into the internet was cheaper, I would upload my new version. When I started building websites for others the Thijl Louis Klerkx Site Service (TLKSS) was born.

Primary Goals of the Criminal Justice System
By: Cindy Cook DeRuyter
Importance of Victimology
••• Epitavi/iStock/GettyImages
The United States criminal justice system encompasses more than just local police forces and courthouses. It also includes federal and state government agencies and courts, as well as military and territorial police and courts. Together, these entities share the common goal of enforcing the country's laws. The justice system includes every aspect of a crime, including arrest, prosecution, court determinations, sentencing outcome, court appeals and corrections.
The primary goals of the criminal justice system are: accurate identification of the person responsible, fair adjudication, retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation and restoration.
Law Enforcement in Action
The criminal justice system begins when the local police or other specialized agency becomes aware of a crime and investigates to determine what occurred and to identify a suspected offender. At this stage, the goal of the justice system is to protect and uphold the rights of the victims, as well as the suspected offenders and witnesses.
Fair Adjudication Through the Court System
In the U.S., a person accused of committing a crime is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is on the state or federal government prosecuting the crime, meaning the prosecutors must prove their case beyond a shadow of a doubt to the judge or jury that is charged with deciding the matter. Once convicted of a crime, the guilty party faces sentencing and penalties as determined by the judge, based on established legal standards, guidelines and limits. The convicted person may have an opportunity to appeal the decision to a higher court.
Retribution or Retaliatory Punishment
Our criminal justice system punishes offenders for many reasons, including simply because it's the fair thing to do. The biblical concept of "an eye for an eye" expresses the concept of retribution. Simply put, when someone commits a crime, there are consequences for doing so. Retribution refers to those consequences, requiring the convicted person to pay a debt to society for the acts committed.
Deterring Future Crimes
The framework of laws underlying the criminal justice system also is intended to deter future criminal acts. The idea is that making convicted criminals pay for their crimes will decrease recidivism – deter them from committing other crimes in the future – and serve as a warning to other would-be criminals that there are consequences associated with breaking the laws.
Rehabilitating Offenders
Another goal of the criminal justice system is to rehabilitate convicted criminals, helping them to reenter society as free persons after their sentences have been completed. Rehabilitation programs often include in-prison education and job skills training, mental and physical health programs, treatment for substance abuse and supervision under parole programs.
Making Victims "Whole"
Finally, our criminal justice system also seeks to achieve restoration through punishment. The aims of restorative justice are to help victims and their families heal after a crime has occurred, protect them from future harm and provide them with the sense that justice has been served.

The Hochzeitskantate (Wedding Cantata) BWV 195 was performed by Bach from around 1730 at various wedding celebrations in different forms, and was evidently also lent out for performances further afield. The only surviving version of the work dates from the last years of Bach's life. The opulently-scored first part begins and ends with grand choral movements, and Bach scored both parts for soloists and for chorus. At the centre of the cantata is an exceptionally sensitive bass aria, probably one of Bach's most modern vocal compositions of all. A chorale movement ("Nun danket all and bringet Ehr"/ "Now thank we all and offer praise") with obbligato horns concludes the cantata as the second part "after the consummation".

BEYOND THE PLATE: SHAPING THE FUTURE OF FOODSERVICE (Part 2 of 2)
Part 1 HERE.
FOOD, WASTE NOT
"Food wastage is the biggest issue in the sector. The Food and and Agriculture Organization states that 1.3 billion tons of food is lost or wasted globally, which is one third of the food produced for human consumption."
This was one of the eye-opening revelations stated by then Undersecretary for the Department of Agriculture and current Secretary of the Department of Tourism Berna Romulo-Puyat at the recent World Disco Soup Day, held at Enderun Colleges.
"According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, the average Filipino wasted two tablespoons of cooked rice or 9 grams of uncooked rice daily, which is equivalent to the consumption of 2.5 million Filipinos for a year," she continued. "Food wastage does not only concern the amount of food that is lost, but is also related to the amount of resources wasted in producing them, including water, land, energy, labor and capital. Such wastage further contributes to global warming and climate change. Because of this, food wastage is now an issue on both the supply and demand side."
Her talk preceded the dishes prepared by a battalion of chefs, who worked to create something out of "food waste." The chefs were headed by Chef Jam Melchor, Slow Food Youth Philippines head and included Chefs Robby Goco, Waya Araos-Wijangco, Jackie Laudico, Ninyo Laus, Jonas Ng, and Myke Tatung Sarthou.
Together, they converted 100 kilos of produce for meals that were served in Barangay Pinagsama.
What struck me at the end of the day was that this could actually be something that could be continued beyond World Disco Soup Day. The seed of an idea was planted, but it can be grown even further.
We have been conscious about segregating waste, but have we ever really bothered to see if the food waste could still be used further? What if the food waste could be gathered and converted into meals for hungry communities? This would take a similar effort of gathering like-minded individuals with a similar goal of eliminating hunger.
BEING CO-PRODUCERS
"Being a responsible consumer entails that one becomes a co producer, who goes beyond the passive role of consuming and takes interest in those who produce food, how they produce it and the circumstances they face," Secretary Romula-Puyat concluded during her speech.
Her passion and advocacy for farmers has seen more interest for the agricultural sector in recent years. This is evident as well at the Harvest Fairs held at Central Square Mall, which has seen its seventh edition already. The most recent one, the Philippine Harvest meets Sabores de España highlighted the richness and diversity of the country's organic, artisanal, natural, and indigenous agricultural products, with the Department of Agriculture bringing together 25 exhibitors, which included organic heirloom rice, artisanal chocolates, coffee, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
DA Secretary Emmanuel Piñol had previously stated that Philippine Harvest plays an important role in the development of export-oriented agribusiness, which is a key requirement in the Philippine government's bid to modernize the Filipino agriculture sector.
By supporting the different "farmpreneurs," Phiilippine Harvest Fair has provided a platform where farmers can have access to their markets, improve and innovate their products.
HOW DO WE GO BEYOND THE PLATE?
Our food choices can always celebrate the diversity of the selections available to us, but also support local communities and make a difference, one bite at a time for a sustainable food future for everyone.
Micahel Carolan calls for active and activist citizens—citizen-eaters. "That's what we need, no more, no less: political participation, community action, and a willingness to be uncomfortable, as breaking from a routine is unnerving, especially when getting to know "Others" that populate foodscapes. The choice is ours: more of the same or an alternative, which is less a predetermined endpoint than an invitation to come together in order to create something different.
The seeds of change are all around us. And they're beginning to take root and sprout."
The next steps are ours to take. We can nurture these seeds and allow them to flourish in a healthy foodsphere, and growing for the next generations to come. The food choice lies with us.

Q: Prism View is being assigned parent page ViewModel inside XCT tabview I have historically been using the syncfusion tab control as part of my layout on my apps, however, with the recent introduction of the Xamarin Community Toolkit (xct) and with the LazyView being in the latest pre-release nuget I want to use this and see what the experience is like.
I perform the registration as normal in the app.xaml.cs file as I always do:
ViewModelLocationProvider.Register<HomeView, HomeViewViewModel>();

When I am on my content page I add the view to a tab item:
<xct:TabViewItem Icon="{AppThemeBinding Light={local:ImageResource App.Assets.Icons.Black.home_100px.png}, Dark={local:ImageResource App.Assets.Icons.White.home_100px.png}}" Text="Home">
            <xct:TabViewItem.Content>
                <xct:LazyView x:TypeArguments="dressmakerViews:HomeView" />
            </xct:TabViewItem.Content>
        </xct:TabViewItem>

At this point the view is added as expected but is assigned the viewmodel of the contentpage instead of the viewmodel I registered for the view.
Obvious troubleshooting here was to use LazyView outside of the tabview and that assigned the expected viewmodel.
My question here is to help me understand why it does this and how to resolve the problem.
As a workaround to get the app working I've had to move out the code into the view model for the content page but everything here feels wrong and I want to be in a position to resolve.

A: For some reason, TabView replaces any previous BindingContext values assigned to TabItems with its own BindingContext when it changes..
As a work-around you can add a listener to BindingContextChanged event for each TabViewItem.Content and reassign to its expected ViewModel.
UPDATE:
You can also wrap TabView's Content with a ContentView
        <xct:TabViewItem Icon="{AppThemeBinding Light={local:ImageResource App.Assets.Icons.Black.home_100px.png}, Dark={local:ImageResource App.Assets.Icons.White.home_100px.png}}" Text="Home">
            <xct:TabViewItem.Content>
                <ContentView>
                    <xct:LazyView x:TypeArguments="dressmakerViews:HomeView" />
                </ContentView>
            </xct:TabViewItem.Content>
        </xct:TabViewItem>

That way, LazyView's BindingContext won't be overwritten.

Zones REVEALED for Halloween Horror Nights 2017
August 17, 2017 Marc N. Kleinhenz0
August 17, 2017 Marc N. Kleinhenz
After a dearth of information for what has felt like forever, Universal has finally cast open the floodgates and allowed a veritable torrent of Halloween Horror Nights 2017 revelations to come pouring out – just this week alone, we've already gotten the next haunted house (that's Saw: The Games of Jigsaw, but of course) and the first of this year's two stage shows (Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, in its 26th and final season). And, now, Universal has added one more item to this announcement-heavy week: HHN 27's five scare zones.
There's a fairly impressive diversity to this year's lineup, with themes ranging from the obligatory pumpkins to sci-fi to established intellectual properties, which is something that has been comparatively rare in the event's 27-year history. That's a lot to sink our parched teeth into, so we should get right to it, shouldn't we?
The Purge (located in New York)
A returning scare zone, this year's Purge takes a different tack: rather than recreating specific scenes or elements from the three movies, Universal will now show Horror Nights attendees what would happen if the Purge came to its New York streets – including the very messy clean-up process, wood chipper and all.
The Festival of the Deadliest (Hollywood)
This hallowed "celebration of blood and bone" will collect "the most unearthly, hellish terrors" in order to make your nightmares become real.
Trick 'r Treat (Central Park)
Based upon the 2007 anthology film of the same name, in which various Halloween revelers are punished for breaking the holiday's traditions, guests can expect to meet several characters from Trick 'r Treat here, including Sam, its central – and oddly creepy – character.
Invasion! (San Francisco)
Apparently set in the 1950s, an UFO has crashed in the docs of San Fran and has started to disgorge its passengers out unto the streets. Watch out for the various medical experiments being conducted on hapless humans as you progress through the area.
Altars of Horror (Production Central)
A first-of-its-kind scare zone, Altars of Horror will function as something of a mash-up of all of Halloween Horror Nights 2017's haunted houses, giving the "larger-than-life" characters their own area to run around in.
Roaming Hordes (various)
The somewhat-obligatory HHN roaming hordes are back, once again with their chainsaws. This time, however, this "grotesque gang of gigglers" has decided to dress themselves up as scary clowns.
These five scare zones will join Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure: The Farewell Tour, Saw: The Games of Jigsaw, Ash vs Evil Dead, The Shining, and American Horror Story at Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights, which runs for a record-breaking 34 select nights, from Friday, September 15 to Saturday, November 4.
Did you miss today's other big reveal – the return of Academy of Villains to Horror Nights? Be sure to check it out here.

Dell introduces the Latitude Z, a 16-inch laptop with the security, wireless, service, and support options of the Dell Latitude family. The tapered design starts at slightly more than half an inch thick (14.5 mm) and 4.4 lb (2.0kg). Backlit wide-screen, high-definition 16-inch LCD with integrated 2 MP autofocus Webcam provides a larger visual workspace for viewing several files at once and for easy collaboration both in and out of the office.
Pros: "Easy Scan and Copy" allows users to use the built-in Webcam as a scanner to capture documents to PDFs. There is also a cordless inductive docking station available. The overall design is very professional. It also has a feature that allows users to assign several applications to a "quick launch" bar on the right side of the screen.
Cons: To reduce weight and thickness, there are no built-in speakers or optical drivers. This is not necessarily a negative, but it should be noted that these devices are add-ons.
Overall evaluation: This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a sleek, lightweight box that can do the work alongside the big boys. Even though the box is only half an inch thick, this 32-bit powerhouse packs enough computing power to handle those large spreadsheets and databases. Unlike those on some laptops, the touch of the keyboard is smooth and effortless, and the backlit keys are a nice feature. Everything about this computer says three things: power, speed, and elegance.


Verse 3 "Sons of the prophets." At Bethel, there was a school and there was a temple.

"Children"—people above age 13. It is an affectionate term: children of God, children of Israel.
"Bald head"—not hairless, but senseless—an idiot.
"Cursed"—challenged in name of the Lord. He was going to prove God and himself to them.
Abusing a man of God is abusing God.

It is customary in the East that everyone minds his own business, and also somebody else's.

She bears. Elisha—he got the mantle from Elijah, meaning Elisha became prophet.
"Bethel" means house of God, place to pray. "Little children" means adults here. "Bald head"

Of course this is a success by any standards… except Pixar standards. Currently it's the worst performing Pixar film to date. If you're right about $200M domestic, it will barely rank #6 out of the 8 Pixar films. My guess is that it won't even do that well.
NOTE: I think it's the best Pixar film, and seriously the best film of any genre I've seen in a long time. It would be hard for me to love a film more than I love Ratatouille.
So: will this be considered a success or a failure? I'm concerned that Pixar may think, "Since this is our worst performing film, we must have done something wrong." Or, even worse, that someone up the ladder at Disney might have that thought. Right now Pixar has such sublime artistic autonomy, and I don't want them to lose it!
I think you're way too pessimistic. If you look closely at the numbers, you can see that Ratatouille had some impressive increases the past two days. Which means that some legs are finally kicking in. If it now can keep up with Cars, which shouldn't be too difficult, I can see Ratatouille grossing about $225M domestically. Still at the low end of the Pixar spectrum, but hardly a disappointment, especially if you consider how much competition it had.
Overseas, Ratatouille is really doing exceptionally well. For example, in Russia it has already grossed $9M, which is more than twice what Cars and Finding Nemo did in their entire run. In Mexico, it has also grossed $9M already, in a mere 10 days. This means it'll easily make more than Cars' $13M and make about as much as Finding Nemo's $18M.
It's too early to say that Ratatouille is going to gross as much as Finding Nemo overseas, as it has yet to open in most countries, but I think its overseas gross will be somewhere between $400M and $500M, putting its worldwide gross at around $650M – $700M, which would make it the second largest worldwide hit for Pixar, only behind Finding Nemo.
Dave, never doubt Pixar. They walk, talk and think just like us. They will always put story first. Just because box office sums are low, does not mean it is a bad movie. Trust me, Pixar knows that. The Box Office is the worst way to determine whether a film is good. From their past experiences (A Bug's Life vs Ants), they know story will always conquer the audience's attention.
Notice that Ratatouille made almost as much as Transformers on Tuesday (Rat: 3.5M; Transformers: 4.5M). Transformers do beat Rat's opening weekend, but I see better legs on this ratty feature.
Thanks, you've all cheered me up!
I hadn't looked closely enough at the international numbers, so your comparison there was especially uplifting.
Another factor I'm afraid Ratatouille wouldn't do too well on the global market is that some retards managed to pirate the movie before it's Premiere in US even. And that in my country we would have to wait until the 15th of August to watch it, while the pirated DVD and VCDs are already out in the black market.
It upsets me a lot to find that news however because I truly love what Pixar does. I'm going to watch Ratatouille on the theaters and urge my friends and family not to buy the pirated version.
It will be very difficult that "Ratatouille" reach $200M (but I hope the opposite).
I just saw ratatouille for the second time here in Israel and I got to say it just got better! I love it even more now and In my opinion it's the best pixar movie to date and the most enjoyable movie I saw this year.It should get the oscar for best movie!
I think that the movie industry is finally starting to feel the heat of the DVD/HomeTheather market. It's not piracy, it's not that there are bad movies. In my opinion it is that more people are starting to say to themselves "I'll wait for the DVD and I'll watch it on my great HDTV screen with my suppaduppa home theater system in the comfort of my home". By any standards Ratatouille it's a great movie, yet it has made $160 million in 4 weeks and will have a hard time reaching $200 mm domestic total. Transformers it's a big blockbuster sci-fi great movie, yet I don't see it easily reaching the $350 million mark that other big sci-fi blockbusters have made in the last few years. The market is changing and it seems that the movie industry is not reacting quickly enough.
