Q: Trouble with finding characters in a string I'm new to c++ though I have basic knowledge of Java, I'm trying to make a program that converts roman numeral input and then finds the equivalent arabic number and outputs it. However I am having an issue of finding the specific prefixes in the roman numerals I'm trying to use the str.find function and then using str.substr to test to see if the prefix exists and if so it gives the arabic value, and then will continue onto the next prefix. However my code seems to fail or print out "0". I am wondering if I am using the str functions wrong, or would there be a easier way to find prefixes in a string?
Here is my current code:
    #include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

/*
 *
 */
int main() {

    string roman_digits [] = {"", "I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX"};
    string roman_tens [] = {"", "X", "XX", "XXX", "XL", "L", "LX", "LXX", "LXXX", "XC"};
    string roman_hundreds [] = {"", "C", "CC", "CCC", "CD", "D", "DC", "DCC", "DCCC", "CM"};
    string roman_thousands [] = {"", "M", "MM", "MMM"};
    string line, substr;

    int arabic = 0;

    // MCCCXXXVII

    cout << "Type in a Roman numeral: ";

    // Loops through inputted Roman Numerals.
    while (cin >> line) {
        if (!cin.eof()) {
            int i = 0;

            // Loops through a Roman numeral and changes it to uppercase.
            while (line[i]) {
                char c;
                c = line[i];
                c = (toupper(c));
                line[i] = c;
                i++;
            }
            // Loops through checking roman numeral with the thousands array and if there is a match prints out the equivalent arabic number.
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

            cout << "Invalid Roman numeral." << endl;
        }

    }
    return 0;

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
EDIT: So I took the advice and it all seems to be working alright (Code has been edited), so thanks alot for that. ^^
However, since it is checking for "X" separately and deleting it my program is translating the input "IX" as 11 when it is actually 9. I know this has to do with the order that my program finds the prefixes in the strings, however I'm not sure on how to fix it, so any help on that would be great.
Thanks again

A: The std::string::find() function don't return a Boolean value but rather return the position of the found substring or std::string::npos if there is no such position. Thus, your tests probably should look like this:
if (line.find("MMM") != std::string::npos) { ... }

Of course, it doesn't really make much sense to try the same sequence of tests four times. You probably meant to the index i to select the appropriate string from the thousands array and have just one test. Of course, you would want to reverse the order of string or count down to be useful.
For the other checks you probably should use find() as well as there may be additional digits following.

A: string::find does not return a bool (as you see on the next line). If the string is not found, it returns a special constant string::npos. A value of 0 means the string was found at the beginning, not a failure.
Try this instead
string::size_type pos = line.find("MMM");
if (pos != string::npos)
{
    ...
}

Other comments
Here is a one-line way to convert a string to upper case. You will need to include <algorithm>
std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), ::toupper);

You could make your data arrays such as roman_digits const string to prevent modifying them by accident.
Try to declare variables as close as possible to their first use. char c only needs to be defined within your while loop, for example.

A: I think this code is simpler, I did not implement error checking but it should not be hard:
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

int fromRoman(string n)
{
    map<char, int> m;
    m['I'] = 1;
    m['V'] = 5;
    m['X'] = 10;
    m['L'] = 50;
    m['C'] = 100;
    m['D'] = 500;
    m['M'] = 1000;
    int tmp = 0;
    int res = 0;
    for (string::iterator i = n.begin(); i != n.end(); ++i)
    {
        int d = m[*i];
        if (d < tmp)
        {
            res += tmp;
            tmp = d;
        }
        else if (d > tmp)
        {
            if (tmp == 0)
                tmp = d;
            else
            {
                res += d - tmp;
                tmp = 0;
            }
        }
        else if (d == tmp)
        {
            res += tmp + d;
            tmp = 0;
        }
    }
    return res + tmp;
}

int main()
{
    const char *romanNumbers[] = {
        "IV", "VIII", "IX", "XXXI", "XLVI", "XCIX", "DLXXXIII", "DCCCLXXXVIII",
        "MDCLXVIII", "MCMLXXXIX", "MMX", "MMXII", "MMMCMXCIX"
    };
    for (const char **r = romanNumbers; r != romanNumbers + sizeof(romanNumbers) / sizeof(*romanNumbers); ++r)
        cout << *r << " is " << fromRoman(*r) << endl;
}

Output:
IV is 4
VIII is 8
IX is 9
XXXI is 31
XLVI is 46
XCIX is 99
DLXXXIII is 583
DCCCLXXXVIII is 888
MDCLXVIII is 1668
MCMLXXXIX is 1989
MMX is 2010
MMXII is 2012
MMMCMXCIX is 3999

Outside of the human eye's ability to see is a world of heat/thermal radiation that only recently has become accurately detectable by technology. It is the same visual world that some animals such as the snake have always made use of.
Bringing this normally invisible realm into view for people to see has opened this infrared spectrum to be utilized for health analysis purposes. Problems such as unnatural vessel growth, infection, injuries and inflammation emit greater amounts of heat than the nearby areas allowing a trained thermographer to capture this information to see where and what kind of problem may be underlying. Nerve impingements and circulation obstructions can be seen as cool or cold areas. When this data is analyzed by a Board Certified Thermologist the information revealed can be life saving.
The first infrared cameras were developed by the military in the 1950's were very large and cooled with liquid nitrogen tanks, today they can fit in your hand and can digitally detect an almost inconceivable .045 Celsius (thats less than half a hundredth of a degree) temperature differences.
Only the very highest class of infrared cameras have a thermal sensor precise enough to pick up such subtleties. Vital Thermal Imaging uses only this class of thermal imaging camera to be able to get the most accurate and detailed temperature variance while shooting in HD. This combined with computer software for enhancement and analysis makes for previously impossible details to be recorded for professional analysis.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, utilized heat emmitance by the body to discover problems in the body 2 1/2 thousand years ago! Hippocrates would cover the body in a thin paste of fast drying mud and observe the locations it dried first indicating hot areas that could indicate disease deeper in the body.
Mammograms, ultrasound and MRI are looking for a physical tumor. For cancer to be detectable on a mammogram, it has to have been growing for years in advance.
Thermography, on the other hand, is a test of physiology. Because of DITI's extreme sensitivity in identifying metabolic activity and vascular circulation (which produces a heat signature), DITI may find thermal markers suggesting a pre-cancerous state of the breast or the presence of an early tumor that is not yet large enough to be detected by physical examination, mammography, or other types of structural imaging.
The thermal camera shoots images in two separate modes - spectral color and reverse gray/white hot. Both give different pieces of information for the doctor who is analyzing the scans.
Adding Thermal Imaging to your "tool box" for breast health can be one of the most proactive steps you can take for the earliest detection of breast disease and can tell you about the status of the health of your breasts.

News Job Cuts
Lowe's says they will close 34 underperforming stores across six provinces
Unknown number of staff will be affected by closures
BOUCHERVILLE, Que. (CP) – Lowe's Companies Inc. says it will close 34 underperforming stores across six provinces as part of a restructuring of its Canadian business.
The stores include 26 Ronas, six Lowe's and two Reno-Depots spread across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.
"Closing underperforming stores is a necessary step in our plan to ensure the long-term stability and growth of our Canadian business," said Tony Cioffi, interim president of Lowe's Canada in a statement.
He said the restructuring also includes investment in its supply chain capabilities, web platforms, and existing corporate stores and affiliated dealer network.
The closures, set for early next year, add to its announced closure of 31 Canadian locations, including 27 stores and four other facilities, in November last year.
North Carolina-based Lowe's bought Rona in 2016 in a deal valued at $3.2 billion.
Lowe's did not say how many staff would be affected by the latest round of closures, which will see stores close in January and February.
The company says eligible employees will be offered jobs at nearby stores, given its need for workers throughout its network.
In Canada, the company has more than 28,000 employees, while its independent affiliate dealers operating under the Rona and Ace name have another 5,000 employees.
The Canadian division of Lowe's has more than 600 corporate and independent affiliate stores under the Lowe's, Rona, Reno-Depot, Ace and Dick's Lumber brand

… was Mab Bradley, the 'merrily brilliant' young woman who founded the school in 1923. A 'born teacher' who 'always made you feel the world was bigger than you knew', she was described in later years as a 'fountain of intelligence and humanitarian wisdom', with 'a presence that commanded instant respect while, at the same time, being one's ideal of a granny'.
It has long since become part of Fyling Hall legend that this remarkable woman was inspired to found a school after attending a dinner party in London. Hearing of a small and sickly boy, she offered tuition in bracing Yorkshire air. He would go on to win the top scholarship to Winchester. But with him and just three other boys, the school that was to become Fyling Hall sprang – almost accidentally – into being.
Mab's daughter, Clare White, and former pupils and staff remember the founder.
'Finer or more healthy surroundings for a school are not to be found in England.' So claimed the first prospectus for Fyling Hall, printed in the mid-1930's. 'The Grounds are laid out in terraces which provide admirable sites for outdoor Classes, Dancing, Plays, and other Performances.' Thus, the alfresco production pictured here – 'The Winter's Tale', perhaps, given the lurking bear? Several pupils from these early days have recorded their memories of school life for 'Fyling Tales', and a selection is reproduced here.
In 1940, the school was evacuated to Inglewood Bank near Penrith. Just as well, perhaps, since a large bomb dropped in the woods two days later. While the pupils travelled in buses, however, petrol rationing did not allow for the transportation of horses. A former pupil, Bob Dawson, was working as riding master in exchange for the Latin tuition he needed to qualify as Articled Clerk to the Town Clerk of Scarborough. With the brash optimism of a teenager, he offered to trek the school ponies over the Pennines to rejoin the children. His account of the adventure, abridged here, was published in Fyling Tales in 1990.

Q: How to copy Images/files to clipboard in android? Any Alternative methods/steps to get this I want to copy images/files to clipboard. I have googled it but i didn't find any alternative/suggestion to this. but i have seen some app's done in app store. want to know how can we achieve this.
Any one please help me OR give me some suggestions?
i found this link but now clue how to achieve this functionality.

A: I don't think you can copy files/image in clipboard. You can do something like this:

*

*Create a File Browser App something like (ES Explorer). You can make File Browser app using Content Providers(Not Sure) and showing the Folders/Files in List View.

*Lets suppose in the app an item in ListView indicates a File/Image. On Long pressing it open a popup. with some options like Cut/Copy/Move/Delete. As you have the Absolute Path of Each file/image. You can use JAVA File Handling to:
a) Delete a File.
b) Move it from one location to another
c) Creating a Copy of File
etc..

A: Android ClipData.Item supports only Text & Uri. So you can't acheive copying of image data over clipboard.
One possible solution can be to save image data in some sort of Storage and copy Content URI of the same. However this will not make life easier for you, as data copied will be available to all editors which can get data from ClipboardManager, They might not know how to handle this type of Data.
If you want to copy/paste in your apps, then i will suggest you to write your own version of ClipboardManager and do whatever you want :)

A: For the details of how to copy/paste image/file in Android, read Android official document from here.
In short, copy/paste image/file follows the below steps:

*

*The data source(the application where you copy data from) should create a ContentProvider and generate a Uri which can be used to retrived the image/file. The Uri looks like content://[application package name]/path/to/file

*The data destination(the application where you copy data to) get the Uri from ClipboardManager and user ContentResolver to retrive the image/file.

As you can see, the copy/paste can only be achieved when the two applications work together. Unfortunately, most of the Android applications haven't follow this rule.
For example, the Google docs Android app, when you copy an image in Google docs, it will generate an invalid Uri. You can't imagine even google itself does not follow Android official copy/paste rule.
And I have tested many main stream editor applications, including Microsoft Word, evernote, they even don't support copy image.
Through my test, I found copy/paste image/file works on some Samsung Android phones(You can copy image from in-stock browser into the message application on Samsung Galaxy Note3). However, Samsung does not follow Android copy/paste framework. They implement the copy/paste using their own mechanism which means 3rd party applications can not access the clip data.
Hence, I think there is still a long way to go, for Android applications to follow the Android official copy/paste framework.
To talk about your requirement, I guess you want to behave as the copy data source. Although your own application supports copy, as long as copy data destination application does not follow copy/paste framework, you can't accomplish the paste action.

Jeeninga Museum
OF NEAR EASTERN AND BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
The museum was established in 1963 by Dr. Gustav Jeeninga, professor of religious studies and archaeology at Anderson University for more than thirty years. The museum's holdings include original artifacts from the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Israelite periods of the ancient Near East. Objects in the collection span four thousand years of the history of the ancient Levant, a region including the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. Levantine vessels provided the basis for the seriation dating technique, which places pottery into a chronological sequence based on changes in shape and decoration. These material remains illuminate ongoing archaeological research into the complex cultural, economic, and political traditions that shaped the Near Eastern context of Biblical history.
Galleries and Exhibits
Warner Sallman Collection
Wilson Gallery
The Museum's holdings include original artifacts from many periods of the Ancient Near East. These artifacts come from the Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, Assyrian and Israelite Periods. Over 300 artifacts from these civilizations including cookware, funerary objects, idols, lamps, weapons, and ancient texts are on display. These serve as evidence of the material culture of the region and provide comparison with influential cultures. The display moves chronologically from the Early Bronze Age through the Roman occupation of the region.
In addition to objects on display the remaining artifacts of over 300 stone implements in the museum holding are in viewable storage and may be accessed for research. The university is developing a digital resource for study of all artifacts in our collection.
Object Stories
Students in the Public History Major at Anderson University use the museum as a resource for research. Part of this research includes delving into the stories behind specific museum objects to further illuminate the function, the culture and the history of the object. The research will be shared on this page and updated annually.
Dimensions: width 6", height 10.5"
Date: 800 and 200 BC
Culture/location found off the coast of Turkey
Zoomorphic Amphora
This elaborately crafted vessel was recovered in thirty feet of water from a shipwreck off the coast of Turkey, near the location of ancient Tarsus (present-day Terso), the birthplace of the Apostle Paul. It is thought to date from sometime between roughly 800 and 200 BC. Stylistically, this amphora embodies aesthetic themes that were widespread at the time. Zoomorphic motifs were especially popular in the creation of amphorae for luxury goods and for household use.
The Mediterranean world from the Greek Aegean eastward to the Levant and south to Egypt was flourishing in seaborne trade in which both luxury goods and bulk items were exchanged between regions and continents. Wine, weapons, and pottery of all types from the Greek isles were exchanged for grain, exotic African woods, or cosmetics from Egypt, which then may have been traded for spices, textiles, dyes, incense, and more coming from India by the Red Sea or by caravan through Saudi Arabia to the coast of Palestine.

Catholic Services Appeal: Commitment weekend
This weekend (Nov. 5-6), I invite all the faithful to make a commitment to the Catholic Services Appeal. Bulletin announcements, pulpit announcements, prayers and more are available online in English and Spanish. Parishes should distribute holy water bottles this weekend.
Special Collection: Nov. 19-20
All parishes in the Diocese of Austin are to take up a special collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development the weekend of Nov. 19-20. The CCHD is the U.S. Catholic bishops' education-action program to combat poverty in the U.S. Each diocese keeps 25 percent of its collections to use in local human development programs. The following announcement should be made before all Masses that weekend:
Today you can join millions of other Catholic Americans who actively build justice by contributing to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development annual collection. Each year, funds from CCHD empower thousands of poor Americans to claim their economic rights and reclaim their dignity. Please be generous.
Hoy tú puedes unirte a millones de otros católicos americanos que activamente luchan por la justicia, a través de la contribución a la colecta anual en favor de la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano. Cada año, fondos de esta campaña impulsan a miles de americanos en pobreza, a reclamar sus derechos económicos y su dignidad. Por favor sea generoso.
Pastoral Plan update
The Core Team is developing an e-newsletter that will feature ideas and links to implement the Pastoral Plan. The first edition will be sent out in the December Monthly Mailing to parishes.
Each month there is an article in the Catholic Spirit about how parishes or organizations are implementing the plan. The November article contains information about the V Encuentro and how this process relates to the plan (see Page 17). There are archived articles available on the Pastoral Plan microsite. The articles will inspire you to engage parishioners in implementing the plan.
Be sure to watch the seminarian videos that describe their encounter with Christ, which inspired them to think about becoming priests. They also share really good ideas about how you can accompany them on their journey toward priesthood.
There are additional items listed in the newest microsite section entitled "small effort, BIG impact." If you are doing something at your parish and would like to feature it on the Pastoral Plan website, please send the information to Charlene O'Connell.
Consider using the following meditation for the feast of Christ the King (Nov. 20):
We expect kings to have a luxurious life. Jesus' crucifixion presents a starkly different image of him as Servant-King. On the cross, Jesus was taunted by his executioners who expected him to save himself. But Jesus' death, like his life, was entirely about self-emptying mercy. Jesus transforms the Cross into the symbol of Christian living which is a life of self-giving. How do you imitate this self-giving service?
Nosotros esperamos que un rey tenga una vida lujosa. La crucifixión de Jesús presenta una imagen totalmente diferente de él como Siervo-Rey. En la cruz, Jesús fue insultado por sus verdugos que esperaban que se salvase a sí mismo. Pero el tema central de la muerte de Jesús, así como el de su vida, es la misericordia que se vacía a sí misma. Jesús transforma la Cruz en el símbolo de la vida cristiana que es una vida de entrega. ¿Cómo imita usted este servicio de don de sí?
Discernment Dinner
Single, Catholic men ages 18 and older are invited to a Discernment Dinner on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at the St. Charles Borromeo House of Discernment, 905B Duncan Lane in Austin. The evening includes dinner, prayer, fellowship and conversation about the priesthood, discernment, prayer and virtue. For more information, visit www.austinvocations.com.

Pope Francis' prayer requests
Please consider Pope Francis' prayer requests for the month of November:
That the countries which take in a great number of displaced persons and refugees may find support for their efforts which show solidarity ...
Que los países que acogen a gran número de refugiados y desplazados, sean apoyados en su esfuerzo de solidaridad …
That within parishes, priests and lay people may collaborate in service to the community without giving in to the temptation of discouragement ...
Para que en las parroquias, sacerdotes y laicos, colaboren juntos en el servicio a la comunidad sin caer en la tentación del desaliento …
Please consider Bishop Vásquez' prayer request for the feast of Christ the King (Nov. 20):
For the Church, that guided and sustained by the Holy Spirit, we may manifest the Kingdom of God by our service and mercy to all, as exemplified by Christ, our King …
Por la Iglesia, que guiados y sostenidos or el Espíritu Santo podamos manifestar el Reino de Dios por medio de nuestro servicio y la misericordia para con todos, según el ejemplo de Cristo, nuestro Rey...

Pavelic, Myfanwy Spencer
http://www.maltwood.uvic.ca/pavelic/
MYFANWY PAVELIC was born and raised on Vancouver Island. She had little formal art training, but at the age of 15 an exhibition was arranged for her by Canada's foremost West Coast painter, Emily Carr. Pavelic's love of music and talent as a musician attracted her to the career of a concert pianist but when a problem with her wrists barred further development in this field, she turned her creativity to drawing and painting.
For several years she spent part of each year in New York. Here she observed the changing climate of the international art world. She experimented with abstract expressionism but finally reaffirmed her commitment to her own evolving figurative style. She has worked in oil and acrylic and has successfully experimented with tissue collage. Charcoal, one of her favourite media, has been used for both prepatory sketches and finished drawings.
For most of her career, Pavelic focused on the human figure; she is renowned for her portrait paintings. Local and international personalities have come to her Saanich studio for sittings, from Maxwell Bates and her fellow artists of the Victoria "Limners" group, to former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
However, the music world remained a constant interest. Its creative personalities provided her with much subject matter for her paintings and sketches. These people included Mstislav Rostropovich, Paul Badura-Skoda, Glenn Gould, Jan Cherniavsky, Zara Nelsova, Ravi Shankar and her close friend, actress Katharine Hepburn. Pavelic's now well-known portrait of Yehudi Menuhin was commissioned by Lord Thompson for Fleet for Britain's National Portrait Gallery in 1984.
Pavelic was awarded the Order of Canada, was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy and held an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria.
She died in Victoria on May 7, 2007.

Georgetown, John Thompson III part ways
By Rob DausterMar 23, 2017, 1:36 PM EDT
Georgetown has parted ways with head coach John Thompson III, sources confirmed to NBC Sports.
Thompson has been the head coach of the Hoyas for 13 seasons, going 278-151 during his tenure. He won three Big East regular season titles with the program, the last of which came in 2013, and he reached the 2007 Final Four, but in recent years the program has fallen on hard times.
Georgetown confirmed the news Thursday afternoon.
"For thirteen years, he has been one of the elite coaches in college basketball," Georgetown president John J. DeGioia said in a statement released by the school. "His performance as a coach has been exceptional, and he has served our community with remarkable distinction and integrity, sustaining our commitment to the academic performance of our students and providing them with the very best preparation for their lives beyond the Hilltop."
Georgetown is 29-36 over the course of the last two seasons and the Hoyas have missed the NCAA tournament in three of the last four years. They've failed to make it out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament since that Final Four, losing to five double-digit seeds in their last six NCAA tournament appearances.
Thompson is the son of John Thompson Jr., the Hall of Fame head coach that built the Hoyas into a national power in the 80s and 90s. The University just invested more than $60 million into a renovation of the team's practice facility which is now named The Thompson Center.
"We are committed to taking the necessary steps to strengthen our program and maintaining the highest levels of academic integrity and national competitiveness," DeGioia said. "We will work immediately to begin a national search for a new head men's basketball coach.
"I remain deeply grateful to John for all that he has done on behalf of Georgetown University."
The news was first reported by CasualHoya.com.

"He will be a good signing for Liverpool" – Watch jurgen Klopp send £45m midfield superstar transfer message as he wants the star at Anfield with Liverpool set to table a new shocking bid to ward off interest from rivals
Martins Sele
Liverpool faced Manchester United at old Trafford with most of their players injured with their defense and most especially their midfield affected and had only had three fit midfielders going into their match against Manchester United on Monday.
Also READ What are the Goals and Greatest of Anfield Legend
This left manager Jurgen Klopp with a severe lack of depth in that position.

A league-high nine players were ruled out of Liverpool's match against Manchester United on Monday at Old Trafford, which may have put the club on the verge of entering the transfer market once more.
As a result, Jurgen Klopp admitted ahead of yesterday's game that he would like another midfielder at his disposal following the club's injury crisis.
As a result, the Reds are being linked with a new midfielder more than ever.
The most recent reports have declared that a massive €50 million bid is now being prepared for Brighton & Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo.
Following an impressive start to life on the south coast for the Seagulls in the top flight, Brighton midfielder Caicedo has been linked with a number of the Premier League's top six clubs this month.
Also READ Highlight: Watch Liverpool 1-2 Leeds united as Leeds shock Liverpool with a brilliant performance at Anfield
Graham Potter's team recently revealed, however, that the player is not for sale this summer.
Liverpool are planning to disregard that warning from their league rivals because they are interested in signing the Ecuadorian international and are putting together a proposal worth €50 million (£42.2 million) to do so according to Studio Football, a South American news outlet.
But Brighton has already lost outstanding midfielder Yves Bissouma to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, as well as Marc Cucurella to Chelsea earlier this month, and they have no plans to move any more of their top players for the remainder of the transfer window.

Liverpool Recieve transfer boost for Barcelona wonderkid 'set to leave for free', who Jurgen Klopp is eager to sign
Barcelona star could leave the club on a free transfer, which is news that will put Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on red alert.
The Reds are in severe need of new players as they sit ninth in the Premier League, 21 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
The team's starting midfield has struggled, and fringe players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita are anticipated to go in the summer when their contracts expire.

Liverpool, on the other hand, has been searching the market for new players. Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez, two of the most sought-after midfielders in the world of football, have recently been connected to Jurgen Klopp's team.
Also READ Liverpool now favourites to land £51m Serie A star midfielder
Gavi's shaky Barcelona contract, though, makes it possible that the Reds will try to sign the 18-year-old in the summer for a pittance or the following year for nothing.
Gavi to leave Barcelona?
Gavi, one of Barcelona's most prized assets, could leave the Catalan giants for free in 2024 if the club fail to register the player's contract.
The Spain international starred for Barcelona in a 1-0 Copa del Rey victory over Real Sociedad on Wednesday evening.
However, hours before kick off the teenager made headlines as news broke that La Liga had refused Barcelona's attempts to register the player's contract.
This is due to the club's failure to navigate Financial Fair Play rules.
Last September, Gavi signed a new contract with Barcelona that lasts through 2026 and has a staggering £880 million release clause.
Barcelona might lose their starlet for nothing in 2024, when his previous contract was set to expire, if the new agreement cannot be registered.
Ronald Araujo, a highly regarded central defender, also signed a new contract in 2022, thus the same circumstances apply to him.
Liverpool, who reportedly wanted to sign Gavi last summer, is probably aware of the circumstances the young player is in right now.
At the time, the Spanish daily Nacional reported that Klopp had "had asked the board to start talks" over a contract for the player and had "been infatuated" with Gavi.

Just a few days remain until the transfer market closes, and Liverpool may yet be prepared to make other moves.

So far this month, the Reds have only brought Cody Gakpo to Anfield in a deal estimated to be for £45 million.
Jurgen Klopp acted quickly to sabotage Manchester United's potential approach for the Dutch international after Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota suffered injuries.
Amid the Reds' troubles in that area, there has been considerable discussion about the necessity to sign a midfielder in January.
But despite links with Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Jude Bellingham, the Reds haven't been able to sign one of those yet.
Liverpool held contact with Benfica and Dortmund
Liverpool have reportedly held talks with both Benfica and Borussia Dortmund over potentially signing Enzo Fernandez and Jude Bellingham this month.
The Reds have been linked with moves for Fernandez and Bellingham in the January transfer window as Jurgen Klopp tries to bolster his midfield options. However, with time ticking down until deadline day, it is looking increasingly unlikely that the Reds will be able to get a deal over the line before January 31.
It is understood the Reds have been working hard behind the scenes to sign a midfielder – and it has been revealed they held negotiations with Benfica and Dortmund for those two players.
Speaking to Empire of the Kop, Anas Bakhkhar from Foot Mercato said:
"Just to remind everyone, there was a positive meeting during the World Cup between Amrabat's entourage and Liverpool but unfortunately, his agent thought that Liverpool were linked with a lot of midfielders during this transfer window – like Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez and Liverpool were having discussions with Borussia Dortmund and Benfica."
Chelsea plan Nunes hijack
Chelsea plans to upset another member of the so-called "Big Six" by entering the competition to recruit Matheus Nunes, a midfielder for Wolves.
The 24-year-old Portugal international cannot leave Molineux in January because he has already played for two clubs this year. However, Liverpool has shortlisted him for a transfer. Before joining Wolves for £38 million in August of last year, Nunes played in two games for his previous club Sporting Lisbon.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea is interested in Nunes and may compete with Liverpool for his services this summer. Both teams are trying to strengthen their respective squads since they are both fourth in the Premier League, 10 points behind Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool do not have a budget that can challenge the Premier League's richest sides, including Chelsea.
The Blues have been the biggest spenders in Europe since Boehly's takeover last summer, investing more than £400m in players.
Liverpool have been linked with England international and Chelsea star Mason Mount and reports suggest that they can present a bid a to sign him this month.
The Three Lions offensive midfielder, who makes £75,000 a week at Chelsea, is available to be signed by the Reds in the summer, according to information published last week by The Guardian.

Recent reports from the Spanish outlet Nacional claim that Liverpool can make a firm approach to acquire Mount during the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old star's current contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2024, and the Blues have so far been unable to reach an agreement with him on new terms.
According to the Catalan media site, the Merseysiders can make use of the contract standoff and possibly try to hire him before the transfer market closes the following week.
In the UEFA Champions League matchup that will take place against the defending champions of Europe, Real Madrid, Liverpool is currently in first place.
Key offensive players like Firmino, Jota and Diaz are out injured, on the other hand, the first choice midfield players have been out of form this season.
In such a scenario, a flexible player like Mason Mount, who can effectively play in the midfield and the attack would be a quality addition.
It must be recalled that the 2022 World Cup star scored a goal against Madrid (SF) during the 2021 CL winning season.
Furthermore, he directly assisted in two goals last season against the Los Blancos (QF), which ultimately led to the team winning the competition.

In other news, Liverpool star not happy; with Klopp as he considers leaving Anfield
Despite rumors that Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Liverpool is not planning to let any of their current midfielders depart during the winter transfer window.
Also READ "The numbers involved are just crazy" - Jurgen Klopp takes final decision on signing superstar attacker this summer
Fabrizio Romano provided this information in his most recent FREE column for CaughtOffside, as the Reds are unlikely to make any changes of their own before the summer.
"Despite Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being linked as a target for Brighton, I don't think Liverpool will let any midfielder leave in January… let's see what happens in the summer," the Italian wrote.

"Besides, for now Brighton's priority is a new centre-back."
Three alternatives for midfield have contracts that are set to expire this year, including the former Arsenal star, and it is anticipated that at least two of them would leave.
This presents us with a dilemma in the summer, depending on our financial situation: do we spend a lot of money on one top player (in this case, Jude Bellingham), at the risk of passing up the chance to bolster the squad with more players?
Even though, there are nuances to the issue to take into account, as the development of teen Stefan Bajcetic requires the coaching and recruitment team to think about signings that won't impede his progress.
In other news, Liverpool target set to be offered club-record deal as contract talks disclosed
Fabrizio Romano gave an update on Ryan Gravenberch's chances of signing for Liverpool before next Tuesday's transfer deadline.
Liverpool, which is languishing in ninth place in the Premier League, has been eager to revive its sluggish and ageing midfield.
In fact, moves for some of the most sought-after players in football, such Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez, have been linked to the Reds this summer.
Gravenberch, who just recently made the £20 million switch from Ajax to Bayern Munich last summer, is reportedly interested in leaving Bavaria.
The Netherlands international has played just 221 minutes in the Bundesliga this season despite appearing 18 times in all competitions for Bayern.
In turn, the 20-year-old has been tipped to go out on loan this January, with Liverpool one of the clubs linked.
Ryan Gravenberch (Getty images)
Romano, a transfer expert, dismissed the possibility of Gravenberch joining Jurgen Klopp's team in January.
According to the Italian journalist, Bayern has "no intention" of accepting to the player's loan transfer.
Romano tweeted: "Bayern have no intention to accept any loan proposal for Ryan Gravenberch in January, as of now. He's considered an important player for the future.
"Many clubs asked for possible loan until June but no green light so far."
After the young player's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, was seen outside Anfield, there have been rumours that Gravenberch would be close to a move to Liverpool.
Before to last Saturday's stalemate Premier League match between Liverpool and Chelsea, Pimenta shared an Instagram story of herself outside the Liverpool stadium.
According to the image, the agent was in Merseyside to speak with Gravenberch, one of her clients, about a potential loan move.

Sorry, that's not the Black Hole Lift music . That's the music in the background of the original Space Mountain advert. You can even hear the narrator poorly edited out. The Black Hole lift is called "Power Shaft", and was composed by the same guy who made the original Detonator soundtrack.
The flume queue lineThis is seirously the funkiest music ive ever heard!Ive also heard it around thorpe park aswell...in the entrance and depth charge.
Ive also heard it around thorpe park aswell...in the entrance and depth charge.
hmm.... they would appear to be the same Depth Charge&The FlumeListen!
Yes the Flume Entrance theme is Depth Charges theme too, the Flumes queue track is only used on the Flume.
The only difference is on Depth Charge's, there's no quacking.
Is this different to the 2006 theme? And is it still on Air this year? (I am going in a few weeks).
That theme A-Kid posted was used on Air during the 2006 season only. It's originally the London Eye theme and has always played in the London Eye ticket office and toilets.
Does anyone know where I can download the current entrance music please?
Nemesis theme, Hex, Air, Flume and the new Katanga Canyon theme. If anyone knows where I can find KC theme, can you post the link, thanks.
Yep - all available at Towers Times.co.ukDirect link - click me!Hex theme is great and so is Nemmie.
The Katanga Canyon theme on there hasn't been used since 2005 I believe, possibly 2006.
If you have any videos, photos or ride music from the Alton Towers Resort, even stuff you've recorded yourself please post it in this thread, to keep the Alton Towers section of TPM going! I went to the park on Sunday, and recorded THIS video, I also took loads of photos which will hopefully all be online by the end of the week. Also, if you want any of the Alton Towers music contact me via PM and I'll tell you where you can find it! So post your videos, photos and ride music from Alton in this thread!
I wouldn't mind a copy of the last year's Towers Street music.
James to the rescue.Flume Entrance Theme.Flume Queueline Theme.Towers Street 2008 (Recorded)Jingle used in Towers Street and the TV adverts.
Also, if you want any of the Alton Towers music contact me via PM and I'll tell you where you can find it!
No doubt the answer will be..REALLY ROLLERCOASTER!
Is the new Katanga Canyon theme music available for download yet?
Yes; Really Rollercoaster, Towers times. One of a number of places. And I wish to add that TT has one hell of a lot more media than we do! But we still have some tracks that they don't have, such as Cloud Cuckoo Land (recorded). And as long as you get the media, does it really matter? Anyway, today I found an amazing site called Towers Media. Which claims to have all the Alton Towers music released. http://www.towersmedia.co.uk/It doesn't have all the media, but it certainly has a fair bit.
The simple answer is , no. I've not even found a recorded version yet. where's Sanbrooke when you need him?
where's Sanbrooke when you need him?
Can anyone get each of the monorail dialogue on all trains like even record them ewith no talking in the backround?That would be much appreciated!!

Suscribe now FE Week
Lib Dems pledge to double businesses that hire apprentices
Paul Offord and Billy Camden
Tue 16th May 2017, 22.30
A pledge to double the number of businesses that hire apprentices has been announced by the Liberal Democrats, ahead of its full manifesto launch tomorrow.
The policy was unveiled tonight and FE Week asked, before publication, what the party was taking to be its start figure for this. We were told in response that they plan to double 190,153.
This ambitious base figure was originally provided by the government in February, for the number of firms expected to hire apprentices in next 12 months, following the launch of the apprenticeship levy last month.
The Liberal Democrats spokesperson said the party will aim to achieve its target, in part by boosting the number of apprenticeships in "new sectors of our economy, like creative and digital industries".
Most recently available government figures showed that 22,980 employers posted vacancies between last August and March this year – which was actually down by 810 from the same period the previous year.
The total number of employers that posted vacancies over the whole of 2015/16 was 37,560.
The party's press briefing note added the party would invest £7 billion "in our schools and colleges".
"The Liberal Democrats will reverse cuts to frontline school and college budgets by protecting per pupil funding in real terms and introduce a fairer national funding system, which includes protection so that no school loses out," the spokesperson said.
The pledge follows a "real-terms" commitment to protect 16 to 19 FE funding per pupil announced by the Liberal Democrats last week.
The party said it will protect FE per pupil funding "in real terms" at £660 million, and "invest in continuous professional development for teachers" through a £165 million cash commitment.
The party's shadow education spokesperson Sarah Olney told FE Week at the time of the announcement: "Students are being left behind as our educational system is cut to the bone.
"This extra £660 million to protect FE will ensure that students are not taken for granted."
FE Week checked that this was just referring to 16 to 19-year-old learners, and what in that case did that mean for older FE learners.
A spokesperson said: "The figure is for pupils up to the age 19. But we will be setting out other commitments to support adult learners in our manifesto, which will be out in due course."
FE Week previously asked the Liberal Democrats if they supported the Association of Employment and Learning Providers' own manifesto call, made on May 3, for the next government to commit to four million quality apprenticeships over the life of the next parliament.
This would be up from the conservatives' pledge, before the 2015 general election to create three million by 2020.
A Liberal Democrats spokesperson said in response: "We welcome this ambitious target to grow the number of high quality apprenticeships in the next parliament, and will be setting out our own plans to for an increase in apprentice numbers when we publish our manifesto.
"In the coalition government, Liberal Democrats championed apprenticeships and were proud that more than two million apprenticeships started over that time.
"We believe that high quality apprenticeships are an essential part of building the UK skills base."
Labour announced, in its manifesto published today, that it would set a target of doubling the number of completed apprenticeships at NVQ level three by 2022.
It would also "set targets to increase apprenticeships for people with disabilities, care leavers and veterans, and ensure broad representation of women, ethnic minority groups, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community, and people with disabilities in all kinds of apprenticeships".
The Conservative Party is expected to unveil its manifesto later this week.
Update, May 17:
The Liberal Democrats have unveiled their full manifesto plans for FE.
The party said that in government it would:
Create individual accounts for funding mature adult and part-time learning and training, and provide for all adults individual access to all necessary career information, advice and guidance.
Aim to double the number of businesses which hire apprentices, including by extending apprenticeships to new sectors of our economy, like creative and digital industries.
Develop National Colleges as national centres of expertise for key sectors, such as renewable energy, to deliver the high-level vocational skills that businesses need.
Work with the Apprenticeship Advisory Group to increase the number of apprentices from BAME backgrounds, ensure gender balance across industry sectors, and encourage underrepresented groups to apply.
Identify and seek to solve skills gaps such as the lack of advanced technicians by expanding higher vocational training like foundation degrees, Higher National Diplomas, Higher National Certificates and Higher Apprenticeships.
Ensure that all the receipts from the Apprenticeship Levy in England are spent on training, aiming to fund a wider range of types of training.
Aim to meet all basic skills needs including literacy, numeracy and digital skills by 2030.
Facilitate across the UK an effective and comprehensive system for credit transfer and recognition of prior learning and qualifications.

Doctors are as bad as the IRS. They want every last detail, down to the penny. I hope that if this post was referring to a recent ER visit, that whoever it was for, is okay.
Ah, you caught me! Yes, I did have to go to ER for a back injury. I'm a great example of the mind is SO willing, but the body is breaking apart! 🙂 I'm fine now though!
Actually, in the last 6 weeks, I had two ER visits and a five day stay for being "full of ***t" but everything is working now and I'm not gonna let it stop me!
I'm glad that you're okay!
Some of you might not be aware that when I go to class, I often drag "Cranky" with me. She gets credit for the "A" on this paper since I used her sense of humor to create a Process Essay.
Yep! Had 3 trips to ER in one month all for unrelated illnesses. Bad health month! But, much better now! Glad to see ya again Granny!

Il titolo di Conte delle Orcadi (Jarl av Orknøyene) era in origine attribuito agli Jarl Norvegesi che governavano le Isole Orcadi, le Isole Shetland e parte del Caithness e del Sutherland. I conti erano periodicamente assoggettati ai Re di Norvegia per quel che concerneva le Northern Isles e più tardi anche ai Re di Alba per quelle porzioni del loro territorio che si trovavano sulla terraferma e in territorio scozzese. Lo stato dei conti quali vassalli dei re di Norvegia venne formalizzato nel 1195.

Nel 1232 una dinastia scozzese discendente dai Mormaer di Angus rimpiazzò la precedente che discendeva invece da quelli di Atholl anche se rimasero formalmente sotto il controllo della Norvegia. Questi a loro volta vennero sostituiti dalla famiglia del Conte di Strathearn e più tardi da Henry Sinclair I, conte delle Orcadi che portò il contado intero sotto il dominio della Scozia.
Il primo conte delle Orcadi di cui si ha conoscenza è Ragnvald Eysteinsson che morì attorno all'890, i successivi conti, fino al 1232, furono tutti, con una sola eccezione, discendenti suoi o del fratello Sigurd Eysteinsson.

I conti delle Orcadi di stirpe norvegese
Ragnvald Eysteinsson, IX secolo
Sigurd Eysteinsson, IX secolo, fratello del precedente
Guthorm Sigurdsson, in carica attorno all'890

Arnkel Turf-Einarsson, in carica coi due fratelli fra il 910/920 e il 954
Erlend Turf-Einarsson, in carica coi due fratelli fra il 910/920 e il 954
Þorfinn Fracassacrani, in carica coi due fratelli fra il 910/920 e il 954, poi da solo fino al 963
Arnfinn Thorfinnsson, figlio maggiore del precedente, in carica fino al 979
Havard Thorfinnsson, in carica dopo aver assassinato il fratello, tra il 979 e il 980
Ljot Thorfinnsson, in carica nel 980
Hlodvir Thorfinnsson, in carica dalla morte del fratello intorno al 980, fino al 988 circa
Sigurd il Forte, in carica dal 988 circa al 1014
Brusi Sigurdsson (morto fra il 1030 e il 1035), governò con Einar, Sumarlidi e Thorfinn
Einar Sigurdsson (morto 1020), governò con Brusi e Sumarlidi

Magnus Erlendsson
Harald Haakonsson, (morto dicembre 1131), governò con Paul
Paul Haakonsson, governò con Harald fra il 1122 e il 1137

Heinrik Haraldsson, governò con David e Jon dal 1206 a prima del 1231
Jon Haraldsson, governò con David and Heinrik dal 1206 a prima del 1231

I conti scozzesi sotto il dominio norvegese
Nel 1236 a Magnus, figlio di Gille Críst, Conte di Angus, venne donato il contado delle Orcadi da Haakon IV di Norvegia.

Magnus II, Conte delle Orcadi (1180 circa-1239)
Gille Brigte, governò dal 1239 a data ignota
Gille Brigte, governò fino al 1256
Magnus III, Conte delle Orcadi, governò dal 1256 al 1273
Magnus Magnusson, Conte delle Orcadi, governò dal 1273 al 1284
Jón Magnússon, Conte delle Orcadi, governò dal 1284 al 1300 circa
Magnús Jónsson, Conte delle Orcadi, governò dal 1300 circa al 1322

Qualche tempo dopo la morte di Magnús Jónsson il contado venne dato a Maol Íosa V, Conte di Strathearn (morto 1350), parente alla lontana del primo Gille Brigte. Maol Íosa governò le Orcadi e Caithness dal 1331 al 1350 e quando morì lasciò diverse figlie, ma nessun figlio maschio così il contado passò al genero Erengisle Suneson, Conte delle Orcadi (morto 26 dicembre 1392). Il contado di Caithness passò a un altro dei suoi generi, Alexander de l'Ard, che lo governò fino al 1375 anno in cui questi finì entro i beni della corona di Scozia.
Nel 1379 il contado delle Orcadi, ora privato del Caithness, venne dato a un altro dei generi di Maol, Henry Sinclair I, conte delle Orcadi, per volere di Haakon VI di Norvegia, egli lo resse fino al 1401. A lui successe il figlio Henry e poi il figlio di questi William Sinclair, I conte di Caithness (1410-1484) cui venne ridato il contado di Caithness da Giacomo II di Scozia nel 1455. Successivamente le Shetland e le Orcadi vennero date in pegno quale dote per Margrete di Danimarca che andò in sposa a Giacomo III di Scozia nel 1470.

I conti scozzesi
Dal 1476 in poi il contado finì nelle mani della corona e lì rimase fino al 1567 quando, venendo trasformato in ducato, venne dato a James Hepburn, IV conte di Bothwell, marito di Maria Stuarda. Nello stesso anno egli venne privato del titolo quando sua moglie venne costretta ad abdicare al trono.

Il contado venne nuovamente ricreato per Robert Stewart, I conte delle Orcadi (1533-4 febbraio 1593), figlio illegittimo di Giacomo V di Scozia, gli successe il figlio Patrick cui venne sottratto nel 1614.
L'ultima creazione avvenne per l'uomo che divenne il primo Feldmaresciallo britannico, George Hamilton, I conte delle Orcadi, figlio a sua volta di William Douglas, duca di Hamilton. Attraverso i vari matrimoni il titolo passò alla famiglia O'Brian, poi ai Fitzmaurice e infine ai St.John a cui appartiene attualmente.

Hamilton venne creato conte nel 1696 insieme ai titoli sussidiari di Signore di Dechmont e Visconte di Kirkwall. Come detto egli era figlio di William Douglas e Anne Hamilton, III duchessa di Hamilton e il titolo venne creato in modo che potesse passare sia attraverso la linea femminile che quella maschile. Infatti Hamilton venne succeduto dalla figlia Anne che aveva sposato un suo primo cugino William O'Brien, IV conte di Inchiquin (1700-18 luglio 1777), ella a sua volta venne succeduta dalla figlia Mary che era andata in moglie a un secondo cugino (nipote del conte di Inchiquin), Murrough O'Brien, I marchese di Thomond (1726-10 febbraio 1808).

Alla sua morte il titolo passò ancora a una donna, Mary, che aveva sposato l'Honarauble Thomas Fitzmaurice, fratello minore del primo ministro William Petty, II conte di Shelburne. Alla sua morte le successe il nipote Thomas Fitzmaurice che sedette alla Camera dei lord dal 1833 al 1874, stessa carica che investì suo figlio e successore George dal 1885 al 1889. Questi morì senza figli e il titolo andò al nipote Edmund e poiché nemmeno lui lasciò eredi il nono conte fu Cecil O'Brien, bisnipote di Frederick Fitzmaurice, terzogenito del quinto conte Thomas Fitzmaurice. Quando anch'egli morì senza figli il titolo andò a Oliver St.John, suo terzo cugino, anch'egli discendente per via materna dal quinto conte. L'attuale conte delle Orcadi vive in Canada e insegna all'Università di Manitoba.

NGI Sports Offers Eco-Friendly Courts
Tennis courts are going "green." And we're not just talking about the color. For the past nine years, NGI Sports of Chattanooga, Tenn., has been applying "environmentally sensitive" methods for manufacturing and installing tennis courts, using recycled and sustainable materials. The company, a division of River City Athletics LLC, provides surfacing systems that replace the use of solvent and petroleum-based materials and employ alternative "green" materials instead.
For instance, NGI says that its Nova'ProBounce — a cushioned, all-weather surface system — replaces environmentally unfriendly solvent and petroleum-based asphalt pavements. The production process for ProBounce, says the company, doesn't employ high volumes of fossil fuels or release hazardous gases, such as carbon dioxide. Also, no heavy equipment is required for the installation, further reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
ProBounce is constructed using cold-applied, water-based resin coatings and natural aggregates. The patented pavement also utilizes a urethane waterproofing, says NGI, which is made from 60 to 70 percent recycled and sustainable natural materials by weight. Components of the coating are based on polymers extracted from soybean oil, a renewable resource. And NGI says it is a stronger material than traditional latex backing that requires extreme heat in the production-curing process.
NGI surfaces are "divorced slipsheets" — free-floating above the surface — and can be installed directly over cracked existing asphalt and concrete courts. The existing surface does not need to be removed, and the deteriorating pavement can be recycled, says the company. The surfaces can also be used in new construction and installed directly over a crushed rock base.
