CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Michael Carter rushed for three touchdowns and Sam Howell threw for two touchdowns as 17th-ranked North Carolina rolled past Western Carolina 49-9 in its home finale Saturday.
North Carolina (7-3) built a 42-3 halftime lead against the Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
"We did exactly what we needed to do in this game," North Carolina coach Mack Brown said. "I was not surprised today that they played well."
Nine different players caught passes from Howell, who was 20 of 23 for 287 yards before sitting out the second half. Those connections included a 22-yard hook-up to Antoine Green, who made his first catch of the season on the first-quarter play, and a 26-yard strike to Dazz Newsome with 49 seconds left in the first half.
The Tar Heels picked up 16 first downs after just 26 snaps on offense. They topped the 40-point mark for the sixth time this year.
Carter ran for first-quarter touchdowns of 17 and 22 yards and then a second-quarter score from 5 yards out. Javonte Williams (3 yards) and D.J. Jones (2 yards) also had touchdown runs.
It was the last home game in Carter's college career. It came on an unusual Senior Day amid the pandemic.
"The experience, in general, was almost overwhelming," he said.
Brown said it was the first time in his 32-year career as a head coach that he didn't put the first-team offense on field for at least one second-half series. Part of that came because of good work in a hurry-up offense for a touchdown in the final minute of the first half.
"I thought we were far enough ahead," he said. "We tried to get everybody on the field to make sure this was a special day."
Western Carolina (0-3) completed an abbreviated fall slate with its third lopsided loss.
"Obviously, we played a great opponent," Western Carolina coach Mark Speir said. "They're as an explosive offense as there is in the country. We couldn't match up with those receivers. Most of the ACC can't either."
Paxton Robertson's 40-yard field goal gave the Catamounts their first first-quarter points of the season, closing the gap to 7-3 at the time. A fake field goal failed in the third quarter. Linebacker Nigel Manns scored on a 42-yard fumble return in the fourth quarter.
Western Carolina: The Catamounts dropped to 0-32 all-time against current members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. This was the third loss – all in a four-year span – to the Tar Heels. The Catamounts played their first game in the month of December since participating in the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.
Until Saturday, that was the only other year a Mack Brown-coached team faced Western Carolina, with his Appalachian State team losing that game in the regular season.
North Carolina: More than half of North Carolina's victories have come against in-state opponents, improving to 4-0 against that group. The others came in ACC play against North Carolina State, Duke and Wake Forest.
SEVEN … AND COUNTING?
The Tar Heels have matched their win total from last year, when they won their final three games.
They're expecting to be in a bowl following the conclusion of the regular season next week.
"Last year, we won seven games," Brown said of his words to the team. "Now with two games left, you've already won seven and you're making progress."
North Carolina hasn't reached the eight-win mark since 2016.
Carter and Williams both went over the 900-yard mark for rushing this season.
Carter, who had a game-high 73 yards on eight carries, moved to 937 yards on the ground. Williams had just 8 yards on three carries, pushing him to 904 rushing yards this season.
The duo's production Saturday all came in the first half.

Williams has a national-high 19 touchdowns, with 16 on the ground.
LEARN AS YOU GO
The Catamounts didn't exit this portion of their season without some pluses.
"We've learned a lot," Speir said. "We've grown a lot.
Playing games during the past month provided a foundation for when the Catamounts resume workouts in about a month.
"It was very productive," Speir said of competing in games this semester. "I knew it was going to be an opportunity for this football team to grow and develop. … Now I can't wait because I think we have a chance to have a really good football team as we move forward."
POLL IMPLICATIONS
North Carolina could return to the Top 25 after holding the first spot outside of the rankings this week. The Tar Heels have played seven games this season while holding an AP ranking.
Western Carolina: Feb. 20 at Furman as part of the Southern Conference's season in the spring semester.
North Carolina: Saturday at Miami for its second game in three weeks against a Top 10 opponent.

Background. Several studies suggest that many patients with schizophrenia have pre-morbid neurodevelopmental abnormalities. This study examines how behavioural abnormalities are associated with mild psychotic symptoms and later schizophrenic illness.
Methods. Maternal ratings on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) of the early behaviour of 155 subjects were obtained at entry to the Edinburgh study of people at high risk of schizophrenia. These maternal ratings were compared in those with and without psychotic symptoms and used to predict the later onset of psychosis.
Results. The CBCL syndrome scores for the children prior to age 13 did not distinguish any of the study groups at entry to the study. In the ratings made for the subjects when aged from 13 to 16, delinquent behaviour and 'other problems' were weakly associated with these symptoms. However, with the exception of somatic symptoms and thought problems, the age 13–16 scales were significant predictors of later schizophrenic illness. This was true also for some of the ratings prior to age 13.
Conclusions. Various behaviours, in particular, withdrawn and delinquent–aggressive behaviour in adolescents at risk of schizophrenia may predict later onset of the illness. These behaviours, however, are far less predictive of isolated psychotic symptoms prior to psychosis onset.

The root template matrix class is Mat<type>, where type can be one of: char, int, float, double, std::complex<double>, etc.
Data is stored with column-major ordering (i.e. column by column).
Functions which are wrappers for LAPACK or ATLAS functions (generally matrix decompositions) are only valid for the following types: fmat, mat, cx_fmat, cx_mat.
In this documentation the mat type is used for convenience. It is possible to use other types instead, e.g. fmat.
Create a matrix using data from writeable auxiliary memory. By default the matrix allocates its own memory and copies data from the auxiliary memory. However, if copy_aux_mem is set to false, the matrix will instead directly use the auxiliary memory -- this can be dangerous unless you know what you're doing!
Create a matrix by copying data from read-only auxiliary memory.
Classes for column vectors (matrices with one column).
The Col<type> class is derived from the Mat<type> class and inherits most of the member functions.
In this documentation the colvec type is used for convenience and to accentuate that it is a column vector. It is possible to use the shorter version, i.e. vec, as well as other types, e.g. fvec, fcolvec.
Functions which take Mat as input can generally also take Col as input. Main exceptions are functions which require square matrices.
An exception is thrown if the given matrix has more than one column.
The template Row<type> class is derived from the Mat<type> class and inherits most of the member functions.
In this documentation the rowvec type is used for convenience. It is possible to use other types instead, e.g. frowvec.
Functions which take Mat as input can generally also take Row as input. Main exceptions are functions which require square matrices.
An exception is thrown if the given matrix has more than one row.
The root template cube class is Cube<type>, where type can be one of: char, int, float, double, std::complex<double>, etc.
In this documentation the cube type is used for convenience. It is possible to use other types instead, e.g. fcube.
Functions which take Mat as input can generally also take cube slices as input.
Create a cube using data from writeable auxiliary memory. By default the cube allocates its own memory and copies data from the auxiliary memory. However, if copy_aux_mem is set to false, the cube will instead directly use the auxiliary memory -- this can be dangerous unless you know what you're doing!
Create a cube by copying data from read-only auxiliary memory.
Member function of mat, colvec, rowvec, cube and field.
Set the size to be the same as object A.
Object A must be of the same root type as the object being modified (e.g. you can't set the size of a matrix by providing a cube).
Access the k-th diagonal in a matrix. The argument k is optional. By default the main diagonal is accessed (k=0). For k > 0, the k-th super-diagonal is accessed (top-right corner). For k < 0, the k-th sub-diagonal is accessed (bottom-left corner). An extracted a diagonal is interpreted as a column vector.
Provide access to individual elements or objects stored in a container object (i.e., mat, colvec, rowvec, cube, field).
For colvec and rowvec, access the n-th element. For mat, cube and field, access the n-th element/object under the assumption of a flat layout, with column-major ordering of data (i.e. column by column). An exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds. The bounds check can be optionally disabled if the ARMA_NO_DEBUG or NDEBUG macro is defined.
As for (n), but without a bounds check. Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged.
For mat and field classes, access the element/object stored at the i-th row and j-th column. An exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds. The bounds check can be optionally disabled if the ARMA_NO_DEBUG or NDEBUG macro is defined.
As for (i,j), but without a bounds check. Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged.
Access the element stored at the i-th row, j-th column and k-th slice of a cube. An exception is thrown if the requested element is out of bounds. The bounds check can be optionally disabled if the ARMA_NO_DEBUG or NDEBUG macro is defined.
As for (i,j,k), but without a bounds check. Not recommended for use unless your code has been thoroughly debugged.
Member function of mat, colvec, rowvec and cube classes.
Sets the elements to a specified value. The type of value must match the type of elements used by the container object (e.g. for mat the type is double).
Returns true if all elements of the object are finite.
Returns false if one or more elements of the object is non-finite.
n_rows, n_cols and n_elem are read-only member variables of mat, colvec, rowvec, cube and field classes.
n_slices and n_elem_slice are read-only member variables of the cube class.
The variables are of type u32 (unsigned integer).
Overloaded operators for mat, colvec, rowvec and cube classes.
Subtraction of one object from another or negation of an object.
Element-wise division of an object by another object or a scalar.
Matrix multiplication of two objects. Not applicable to the cube class unless multiplying a cube by a scalar.
Schur product: element-wise multiplication of two objects.
Element-wise equality evaluation of two objects. Generates a matrix of type umat with entries that indicate whether at a given position the two elements from the two objects are equal (1) or not equal (0).
Element-wise non-equality evaluation of two objects.
As for ==, but the check is for "greater than or equal to".
As for ==, but the check is for "less than or equal to".
As for ==, but the check is for "greater than".
As for ==, but the check is for "less than".
An exception is thrown if incompatible object sizes are used.
If the +, - and % operators are chained, Armadillo will try to avoid the generation of temporaries. No temporaries are generated if all given objects are of the same type and size.
If the * operator is chained, Armadillo will try to find an efficient ordering of the matrix multiplications.
Caveat: operators involving an equality comparison (i.e., ==, !=, >=, <=) may not work as expected for floating point element types (i.e., float, double) due to the necessarily limited precision of these types. In other words, these operators are not recommended for matrices of type mat or fmat.
The first form prints the contents of an object to the cout stream, with an optional header line. The second form prints to a user specified stream.
It's also possible print objects using the << stream operator.
Elements of a field can only be printed if there is an associated operator<< function defined.
Member function of mat, colvec and rowvec.
Similar to .print(), with the difference being that a transposed version of the object is printed.
Member function of mat, colvec, rowvec and cube.
Similar to the .print() member function. The difference is that no formatting of the output is done -- i.e. the user can set the stream's parameters such as precision, cell width, etc.
If the cell width is set to zero, a space is printed between the elements.
Similar to .raw_print(), with the difference being that a transposed version of the object is printed.
Causes an object to have no elements.
Member functions of mat, colvec, rowvec and cube classes.
load() will reset the object to have no elements if the loading process failed (e.g. wrong filename, unsupported file type, etc).
load(): try to automatically detect the file type as one of the formats described below. This is the default operation.
Numerical data stored in raw ASCII format (no header), with the numbers separated by white space. The number of columns must be the same in each row. load() can read data which was saved in Matlab/Octave using the -ascii option, except for complex numbers. Complex numbers are stored in standard C++ notation (a tuple surrounded by brackets: e.g. (1.23,4.56) indicates 1.24 + 4.56i). Cubes are loaded as one slice.
Numerical data stored in human readable text format, with a simple header to speed up loading. The header indicates the type of matrix as well as the number of rows and columns. For cubes, the header additionally specifies the number of slices.
Numerical data stored in machine dependent binary format, with a simple header to speed up loading. The header indicates the type of matrix as well as the number of rows and columns. For cubes, the header additionally specifies the number of slices.
Image data stored in Portable Gray Map (PGM) format. Applicable to mat only. Saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation, as each element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation. As such the matrix should have values in the [0,255] interval, otherwise the resulting image may not display correctly.
Image data stored in Portable Pixel Map (PPM) format. Applicable to cube and field classes only. Saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation, as each element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation. As such the cube/field should have values in the [0,255] interval, otherwise the resulting image may not display correctly.
If the old number of elements is equal to the requested number of elements, old memory is reused.
A collection of member functions of the cube class that provide sub-cube views.
The size of individual slices can't be changed.
A collection of member functions of mat, colvec and rowvec classes that provide sub-matrix views.

load(): try to automatically detect the field format type as one of the formats described below. This is the default operation.
Objects are stored in machine dependent binary format.
Default type for fields of type mat, colvec or rowvec.
Only applicable to fields of type mat, colvec or rowvec.
Image data stored in Portable Pixmap Map (PPM) format.
.load(): Loads the specified image and stores the red, green and blue components as three separate matrices. The resulting field is comprised of the three matrices, with the red, green and blue components in the first, second and third matrix, respectively.
.save(): Saves a field with exactly three matrices of equal size as an image. It is assumed that the red, green and blue components are stored in the first, second and third matrix, respectively. Saving int, float or double matrices is a lossy operation, as each matrix element is copied and converted to an 8 bit representation.
Fields with objects of type std::string are saved and loaded as raw text files. The text files do not have a header. Each string is separated by a whitespace. The .load() function will only accept text files that have the same number of strings on each line. The strings can have variable lengths.
Class for keeping statistics of a continuously sampled one dimensional process/signal. Useful if the storage of individual samples (scalars) is not necessary or desired. Also useful if the number of samples is not known beforehand or exceeds available memory.
For the .var() and .stddev() functions, the default norm_type=0 performs normalisation using N-1 (where N is the number of samples so far), providing the best unbiased estimator. Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N, which provides the second moment around the mean.
Class for keeping statistics of a continuously sampled multi-dimensional process/signal. Useful if the storage of individual samples is not necessary or desired. Also useful if the number of samples is not known beforehand or exceeds available memory.
This class is similar to running_stat, with the difference being that vectors are processed instead of single values.
type can be inferred via the use of the elem_type member typedef of a vector class. For example, fcolvec::elem_type will be interpreted as float, while cx_colvec::elem_type will be interpreted as std::complex<double>.
Simple wall clock timer class, for measuring the number of elapsed seconds between two intervals.
Generate the identity matrix (diagonal elements set to one and off-diagonal elements set to zero).

Sum of the diagonal elements of a square matrix.
For a matrix argument, return the minimum/maximum value for each column (dim=0), or each row (dim=1).
For a vector argument, return the minimum/maximum value.
// the 0 explicitly indicates "traverse across rows"
// the 1 explicitly indicates "traverse across columns"
For a matrix argument, return the product of elements in each column (dim=0), or each row (dim=1).
For a vector argument, return the product of all elements.
// 1 explicitly indicates "traverse across columns"
For a matrix argument, return the sum of elements in each column (dim=0), or each row (dim=1).
For a vector argument, return the sum of all elements.
For a vector argument, return a particular statistic calculated using all the elements of the vector.
For the var() and stddev() functions, the default norm_type=0 performs normalisation using N-1 (where N is the number of samples), providing the best unbiased estimator. Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N, which provides the second moment around the mean.
Convert between matrix types (e.g. mat to fmat) as well as cube types (e.g. cube to fcube).
Conversion of mat into colvec or rowvec is only possible if the object has one column or one row, respectively.
Obtain the complex conjugate of each element in a complex matrix/cube.
For two matrix arguments X and Y, if each row of X and Y is an observation and each column is a variable, the (i,j)-th entry of cor(X,Y) is the correlation coefficient between the i-th variable in X and the j-th variable in Y.
For vector arguments, the type of vector is ignored and each element in the vector is treated as an observation.
For matrices, X and Y must have the same dimensions.
For vectors, X and Y must have the same number of elements.
cor(X) is equivalent to cor(X, X), also called autocorrelation.
The default norm_type=0 performs normalisation of the correlation matrix using N-1 (where N is the number of observations). Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N.
For two matrix arguments X and Y, if each row of X and Y is an observation and each column is a variable, the (i,j)-th entry of cov(X,Y) is the covariance between the i-th variable in X and the j-th variable in Y.
cov(X) is equivalent to cov(X, X).
The default norm_type=0 performs normalisation using N-1 (where N is the number of observations), providing the best unbiased estimation of the covariance matrix (if the observations are from a normal distribution). Using norm_type=1 causes normalisation to be done using N, which provides the second moment matrix of the observations about their mean.
Interpret a matrix or vector as a diagonal matrix.
For mat, given matrix must be square. The main diagonal is copied and all other elements in the generated matrix are set to zero.
For colvec and rowvec, elements of the vector are placed on the main diagonal in the generated matrix and all other elements are set to zero.
This operation is equivalent to taking the transpose and then taking the complex conjugate of each element.
Extract the imaginary/real part of a complex matrix/cube.
Using matrix A (with n rows and p columns) and matrix B (with m rows and q columns), kron(A,B) returns a matrix (with nm rows and pq columns) which denotes the tensor product of A and B.
Return a matrix/cube sized according to given size specifications, whose elements are taken from the given matrix/cube, either column-wise (dim=0) or row-wise (dim=1).
For matrices, the number of elements in the given matrix must be equal to n_rows * n_cols.
For cubes, the number of elements in the given cube must be equal to n_rows * n_cols * n_slices.
Shuffle the rows (dim=0) or columns (dim=1) of a matrix or vector.

X must be a symmetric, positive-definite matrix.
Eigen decomposition of symmetric/hermitian matrix X.
The eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors are stored in eigval and eigvec, respectively.
The eigenvalues are not guaranteed to be ordered.
An exception is thrown if X is not square.
There is currently no check for symmetry of X.
Eigen decomposition of general (non-symmetric/non-hermitian) square matrix X.
For the first two forms, side='r' (default) specifies that right eigenvectors are computed, while side='l' specifies that left eigenvectors are computed.
For the last two forms, both left and right eigenvectors are computed.
Inverse of a square matrix.
An exception is thrown if the given matrix is not square or is rank deficient.
// elements of C are set to zero.
Lower-upper decomposition (with partial pivoting) of matrix X.
L is a lower-triangular matrix, U is an upper-triangular matrix and P is an optional permutation matrix.
The second form provides the permutation matrix P, such that P*X = L*U and X = trans(P)*L*U.
The second form is currently considerably slower than the first form.
Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse of matrix A.
Any singular values less than tol are treated as zero.
For matrix A with m rows and n columns, the default tolerance is max(m,n)*norm(A)*math::eps(), where math::eps() denotes the difference between 1 and the least value greater than 1 that is representable.
Decomposition of matrix X into an orthogonal (Q) and a right triangular matrix (R), such that Q*R = X.
Solve a system of linear equations, i.e., A*X = B, where X is unknown.
For a square matrix A, this function is conceptually the same as X = inv(A)*B, but is done more efficiently.
The number of rows in A and B must be the same.
This function will also try to provide approximate solutions to under-determined as well as over-determined systems (non-square A matrices).
Similar functionality to the "\" (left division operator) operator in Matlab/Octave, i.e., X = A\B.
NOTE: ATLAS 3.6 provides an implementation of the LAPACK library that may crash when solving under/over determined systems. Later versions of ATLAS may work (not yet tested). Using the standard LAPACK library works without problems.

Around 170 buildings are in a dilapidated condition and have survived on repairs.
Meanwhile, the buildings were given vacation notice from the civic body last year and nearly 37 buildings were vacated, the residents claimed.
Mumbai: Many buildings in Juhu were demolished for redevelopment purpose nine to 10 years ago but are yet to be redeveloped due to lack of NOC. The residents claimed that for all these years they have been living on rent.
Around 170 buildings are in dilapidated condition and have survived on patch work and repairs. The affected residents claimed that four deaths have occurred due to the shock of stuck redevelopment projects.
When this newspaper visited the site, two under construction sites were spotted, among the two residential buildings include Harness apartment and Aman Palace which were demolished around nine years back. However till now, no redevelopment has been allowed due to lack of NOC from the Navy.
"It has been nine years but nothing has been allowed on that land, we are now living on rent. I lost my father, who suffered from a stroke due this project delay," said Ashwin Giri, a resident of Harness apartment.
The aforementioned buildings are repaired every two years. "We carryout patch work and repairs in every two years since redevelopment is not possible, it becomes expensive for us but there is no other option," said Ajay Govind, a resident from one of the affected building. Meanwhile, the buildings were given vacation notice from the civic body last year and nearly 37 buildings were vacated, the residents claimed.


Christina Blacklaws, who shot to prominence as director of policy at Co-operative Legal Services (CLS), has been elected as the next deputy vice-president of the Law Society.
This means she should become president in July 2018, only the fifth woman to hold the chain of office in what will be, by then, the society's 193-year history.
Before joining the Co-op, Ms Blacklaws was a family lawyer of considerable renown, but in what was a major coup at the time, she and Jenny Beck – another senior family lawyer – left London law firm TV Edwards in November 2011 to become CLS's director of policy and head of professional practice respectively.
They were behind the launch of CLS's family law service in 2013. CLS was one of the first three legal businesses to become alternative business structures in March 2012.
Ms Blacklaws left in 2014 and is currently director of client services at Kent-based firm Cripps, where she will take over as chief operating officer next week.
A member of the Law Society council since 2002, she represents the women lawyers division, and has previously chaired the society's family law committee and legal affairs and policy board. She is a former chief assessor of the Law Society children panel. She is also an executive member of the Family Justice Council.
Robert Bourns, senior partner of Bristol-based TLT, will become president this July, with Joe Egan, managing partner of Bolton-based high street firm Joe Egan Solicitors, becoming vice-president.
Ms Beck left CLS last year and is now a partner in the London office of north-west firm Stephensons.
The first four female presidents of the Law Society were Carolyn Kirby, Fiona Woolf, Lucy Scott-Moncrieff and Linda Lee.

Q: Creating White list from ip addresses for Samsung Laser Printer I got Samsung 2020-series laser printer and it satisfies my needs in quality, but wireless printing is and has been totally nightmare since first setup.
I got dynamic ip address and it vary from time to time when I connect to my ISP, and that's the problem: The printer needs new setup every time I need wireless printing and that's really the way it shouldn't to make things happen.
I've been looking for some tool to make some kind of "white list" for ip addresses, who are allowed to use my printer over the wireless network, but I really have no idea, where to start. Googling have no effort or clever results any of my searching terms. I graduated as a information technology professional about six months ago but I got no talent to program some kind of tool myseelf.
Printer driver's language is Portugese, and Troubleshooting center -software where I could fix stuff got awful layout, it's slow, and crashes now and then.
Does anyone of Samsung printing wiz got an idea what to do? My current solution is that I plug my printer on USB port, and forget the network option, but now I can't take fully advantage on this product. I could save some space in my computer room, if I could keep my printing machine in my bedroom behind the wall. Any ideas?

A: Your wireless router should be able to give the printer a fixed IP address. The way to do this depends on the router model.
Log in to the router (as administrator) by typing its IP address into your browser. The login name and password should be in the manual, unless you changed it. Then find where to reserve IP addresses. It will be there somewhere. You will need to specify the printers hardware (MAC) address, and which IP address to assign to it.
With my router (a TP-Link Archer D5) I need to click on the Advanced tab > Network > LAN Settings. There I find the table of reserved addresses, where I can add and remove devices. Something similar will be available in your router.
After doing that, the printer will always get the reserved address, and you should not have a problem.
Your "white list" sounds like a different issue. Some printers have a list of IP addresses, and only those IP addresses can send print jobs to the printer. This can be used in large offices to control access to the printer. However it is unlikely that a low-cost printer like the M2020 supports that, as it is intended for home use.

GCN LAB REVIEW
D-Link AirPremier N DAP-2590
By Greg Crowe
The AirPremier N Access Point from D-Link Systems comes in a sturdy metal case that can be mounted on a vertical surface with the hardware that's included. This is fortunate, because if not mounted on a wall, its footprint is an awkward 6 inches by 8 inches.
The D-Link's single gigabit local-area network port had Power over Ethernet, which saves having to deal with an extra cable — and, more important, uses one less power outlet. The bases of three external antennae can be inclined 90 degrees and rotated a full 360 degrees. The antennae themselves can also be rotated 90 degrees, so they each can occupy any conceivable position in the hemisphere centered on its base. This is by far the greatest amount of flexibility for antenna placement of any access point in the review.
GCN LAB TEST
D-Link AirPremier N Access Point DAP-2590
Pros: PoE port, four operating modes, dual-band
Cons: Low file-transfer speeds, large footprint.
Performance: B-
Ease of Use: A
Features: B+
Value: B-
The AirPremier N has two "Draft-N" radios. It can be set to use either the 2.4 GHz band, which is compatible with 802.11b, g and n devices, or the 5 GHz band, which is used by the 802.11a and n devices. This provides flexibility, as the 5 GHz frequency can be used if the 2.4 GHz band already has too much traffic or other interference.
Although the D-Link has no router mode, it does have four operating modes. It can function as a standard access point or as a Wireless Distribution System node that can operate with or without access point broadcast. It can also be used as a wireless client adapter if you are desperate for one.
In our Veriwave throughput tests, the DAP-2590 maintained a rate of 244.84 megabits/sec when transferring data packets of 1,518 bytes from a wired to a wireless client. In the other direction, the rate rose to 258.90 megabits/sec, which is in expected ranges. With five simulated clients, these speeds dropped an average of 1.7 percent — one of the best among those tested. With WPA2-PSK authentication enabled, we achieved an average drop of 2.5 percent, which gave the D-Link the lead in this department.
However, the DAP-2590 did not fare as well in our file transfer tests. At the shorter distances — 10 feet, 20 feet and 40 feet — of the download test, the D-Link was the slowest. At the longer distances — 80 feet and 160 feet — it wasn't in last place, but it was pretty close, averaging as low as 1.47 megabits/sec at one point. In our upload tests, the DAP-2590 performed similarly, coming in last at most of the distances.
At $410 retail [tk: price being double-checked by writer], the D-Link AirPremier N Access Point is not what we would consider a fantastic bargain, even considering its two frequencies, different operating modes and flexible antenna placement. Its file transfer rates simply do not warrant such a price. However, if shelf space is at a premium, and you have wireless devices that need bridging, then this might be the access point you need.

Никола́й Степа́нович Ша́тов (, Шатово Котельнического уезда Вятской губернии — , ) — полковник РККА, затем подполковник ВС КОНР.

Биография
Родился в русской семье крестьян-середняков. В 1913 окончил сельскую школу в селе Гостево, в 1915 окончил два класса высшего начального училища в Котельниче. Участник Гражданской войны, в РККА с 23 марта 1919, добровольно вступил стрелком в 1-й армейский запасной полк в Вятке. Член ВКП(б) с 1928 или 1929.

В начале Великой Отечественной войны являлся начальником артиллерийского снабжения (заместителем начальника артиллерии округа по артиллерийскому снабжению) Северо-Кавказского военного округа. Во второй половине октября 1941 года Н. С. Шатова вызвали в штаб Северо-Кавказского военного округа к маршалу Г. И. Кулику, приехавшему инспектировать в связи с прорывом немцев к Таганрогу, где приказали доложить об обеспечении вооружением двух только что сформированных дивизий и о срочной эвакуации артиллерийских складов. Кулик обвинил Шатова во вредительстве, а когда тот начал оправдываться, выхватил пистолет, после чего избил в присутствии других офицеров и выгнал.

Шатов дезертировал и целый месяц укрывался в Ростове, затем пришёл в уже оккупированный немцами Таганрог и 29 ноября 1941 сдался. Был помещён в Хаммельбургский лагерь в июле 1942. Вскоре вступил в «РТНП» и стал председателем комитета, являлся инспектором управления пропаганды КОНР. С 26 июня 1944 на службе в РОА, с ноября того же года инспектор артиллерийского отдела штаба ВС КОНР. 9 мая вместе со штабом сдался представителям 26-й пехотной дивизии. До конца августа 1945 содержался в лагерях военнопленных, и в сентябре выдан американцами советской администрации и помещён в лагерь № 292 ОКР «СМЕРШ».

Перевезён в Москву, в конце марта 1946 признал себя виновным во всех предъявленных обвинениях. По приговору ВКВС СССР в ночь на 1 августа того же года повешен во дворе Бутырской тюрьмы.

It is not always easy and straight forward to figure out whether your case requires an attorney who can provide legal assistance. Kansas City attorneys can help you in court or during legal litigation, and can also provide you with helpful information that can be applied to your case. A capable attorney can help you recognize all of the multifaceted rules that are related with your legal concerns. These legal problems can be about child adoption, tax strategies, business partnerships and negotiations, trust and will drafting, estate planning and much more.
Kansas City attorneys are public citizens of the state who have a job to maintain the quality of justice in the state, represent clients, and act as the legal officers in the state of Missouri. Kansas City attorneys are also granted the authority from Missouri to appear in court, handle legal matters, interpret and explain the law for a client, and represent clients.
You can hire Kansas City attorneys and improve your quality of life by allowing them to protect you from any legal issues that may later result. A professional, capable attorney may help you if you are experiencing now or if you wish to avoid legal trouble in the future.
You may not fully understand all the legal issues surrounding your case, but Kansas City attorneys will. They can take a look at your legal situation and figure exactly what issues will be a concern in your case. After examining your case, Kansas City attorneys will then discuss what options you have for continuing your case. Attorneys try to anticipate the probability of success of your case in court and from there you can decide whether it is worth your time and energy to pursue any further legal action. If you find out that your case will require more assistance, you can then hire an attorney to help you plan each step of your legal case.
If you find out that hiring an attorney will greatly benefit your case, you should consider it. Having Kansas City attorneys on your case can improve your chances of settling the case and not having to go to trial. Experienced Kansas City attorneys have the experience needed to handle your case effectively and can provide the support of his or her investigative team in order to collect valuable information pertaining to your case, which can be used to secure a winning legal strategy. Finally, an attorney's reputation can support your case and provide leverage in a court if the attorney is well-respected and trusted by the judges and attorneys.
What Legal Issues Can Kansas City Attorneys Help You With?
There are legal issues surrounding nearly everything you do, and sometimes these issues will be difficult to handle alone. There are many specific reasons to hire Kansas City attorneys, and all of them have to do with situations where an expert's opinion can greatly help resolve a problem. Kansas City attorneys can give legal solutions, or can help you prevent future problems.
If you decide to hire an attorney, you must begin your preliminary search for different Kansas City attorneys that may be of assistance. While there are plenty of Kansas City attorneys to choose from, you should make sure to only consider those who can successfully represent you and the case. The right attorney for you will be capable, experienced, and compatible with both you and your case.
If you cannot find attorney referrals that are helpful, you can also consider looking for local Kansas City attorneys online through quality assured attorney directories. Many of these directories provide free access to attorney listings that describe attorneys by experience, location, cost, specialty, education and more. The listings also provide contact information and reviews as well.
After finding attorneys that may be suitable for your case, you should then take the time to make sure that they all have experience in cases that are similar to yours. You can call each attorney and verify that the attorney has experience in handling these types of cases. Ideally, they should also have special knowledge, continuing education, and advance law degrees that can help during the case as well as references from previous clients with similar cases who can attest to the attorney's ability. The attorney should also be a member of the American Bar association and the State Bar of Missouri and should have a good standing and reputation in both organizations.
When hiring an attorney, remember that it is a paid service that can add up very quickly. It is important to discuss all costs with an attorney during the first consultation or meeting. You should ask about contingency fees, flat fees, hourly rates, consultation fees, retainer fees, and referral fees as well as any other fees that may be incurred. If you are unsure about whether the amounts you are being charged are reasonable, you can consult with other Kansas City attorneys to get a ball park figure of what the case will cost you.

Analysts Question Charges Against Nigeria's Central Bank Chief
Abuja - Nigeria's secret police are investigating Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele for alleged financial crimes, financing terrorism, and graft. But the banker's supporters say the allegations are politically motivated, with politicians opposed to his currency reforms behind the probe. Nigeria's central bank late last year unveiled new currency to combat crime and rein in vote-buying, sparking debate just a few months ahead of February elections.
The charges leveled against Godwin Emefiele by the State Security Service (SSS) include the misappropriation of a multi-billion-dollar public lending program, and terrorism financing.
The secret police did not say when it started probing the central bank of Nigeria governor, but, according to a court affidavit, the agency has been trying to bring him in for questioning since December.
An Abuja Federal High Court in late December issued an order barring the secret police from arresting, detaining or questioning the central bank governor, and called the probe unwarranted and vindictive.
CBN spokesperson Osita Nwanisiobi did not respond to calls from VOA for comment on the matter.
But Emefiele has faced growing criticism of his policies at the central bank, including the redesigning of Nigeria's currency and introduction in December of limits for cash withdrawals.
Nigeria's Central Bank Raises Cash Withdrawal Limits After Public Outcry
The director at the Center for Social Justice, Eze Onyekpere, says Emefiele desecrated the independent position of the CBN governor by participating in partisan politics.
'In international laws and jurisprudence, central bank's monetary policy authorities are supposed to be independent,' he said. 'For the chief executive of that same bank to now drag the CBN into a politically compromised situation, makes itself amenable to various or all kinds of insinuations. This would not have happened if the CBN governor had kept away from partisan politics."
Emefiele withdrew from a possible presidential bid last May after President Muhammadu Buhari ordered public officials with political interests to resign from office.
In October, the president approved the central bank's redesign of the country's highest currency notes in a bid to combat counterfeiters, promote more cashless payments and reduce excess cash in circulation.
Nigerian President Introduces Newly-designed Bank Notes
Analysts say the new currency, which rendered stashes of the old currency useless, will also make it more difficult for candidates to buy votes during next month's elections.
Public finance analyst Isaac Botti says Emefiele is being treated unfairly.
'The man is being witch-hunted, people are reacting particularly when this issue of currency redesign, cash withdrawal limit came up and a number of persons particularly those at the corridors of power are not favored, they feel that this guy should be taken off. If there are clear cases of financial crimes against him, then he should be relieved of his duty and properly prosecuted,' he said.
Botti says the allegations against the central bank chief could dampen public confidence in the CBN and its policies.
But Onyekpere says the secret service must first present substantial proof of its claims against the central bank governor.
'They have not disclosed a genuine ground to move the court to support their course of action. From what is available to me, I do not see how they can sustain that charge,' he said.
Emefiele was appointed head of the central bank in March 2014. In 2019, he was reappointed for a second five-year term that ends next year.

Q: copy a file from multiple directories and add numbers in the prefix of each file? I need to copy a particular named file from multiple directories and need to add number in the file prefix sequentially. For example I have the following directories, gene1, gene2, gene3 ..... gene100 and each directory having a file namely protein.fasta. I need to copy all the protein.fasta file from each directory and paste in another directory namely output.
I have tried the following script but the script is not serving my purpose, It copy and paste only one file and rest is not copied and renamed finally end up with error. Kindly help me to do the same.
a=1
for i in **/protein.fasta
do
cp "$i" "$a"_"$i" output/
a=`expr $a + 1`
done

Detailed example and expected output is given below,
Directories
gene1, gene2, gene3....gene100

file to be extracted from each file is protein.fasta
Expected output in the output directory
1_protein.fasta
2_protein.fasta
3_protein.fasta
.
.
100_protein.fasta

Thank you in advance.

A: You should be able to loop over directories and remove the gene prefix from the current directory name to use as the prefix for the target file name:
for d in gene*; do
  echo cp "$d/protein.fasta" "output/${d#gene}_protein.fasta"
done

Remove the echo once you are satisfied that it is doing the right thing.

A: I think maybe you want to use basename to remove the directory from the filename?
i=1
for f in **/test.file; do
  cp "${f}" "out/${i}_$(basename $f)"
  (( i += 1 ))
done

After Tamil, Star Sports launches India's first Kannada sports channel
Star Sports 1 Kannada aims to provide fans with region-specific quality sports content, allowing them to connect with their heroes
BestMediaInfo Bureau Mumbai, November 06, 2017
Star Sports, the sports broadcast arm of Star India, is all set to launch Star Sports 1 Kannada, India's first dedicated Kannada sports channel. The decision comes shortly after launching India's first Tamil sports channel Star Sports 1 Tamil and the first FTA sports channel Star Sports First. This is Star Sports' second stint in the regional markets.
Celebrating the spirit of the Kannadiga culture is at the heart of the launch of Star Sports 1 Kannada. Karnataka as a region has shown very distinctive viewing habits and an affinity to differentiated language content. This has enabled Star Sports to create a unique, engaging and, most importantly, viewer-centric offering for the southern state.
Star Sports 1 Kannada, with its rich line-up of sports properties, will help bring Kannadiga sports fans closer to their favourite sports. The calendar includes live events such as the Hero Indian Super League (ISL), Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Premier Badminton League (PBL) and others. Star Sports 1 Kannada aims to provide fans with region-specific quality sports content, allowing them to connect with their heroes.
A Star India spokesperson said, "Sports is more engaging, enjoyable and thrilling when it is watched in a language one speaks. Our strong presence in Karnataka has helped us understand how Kannadiga sports fans like to consume sports content. Kannadigas possess an inherent sporting quality of resilience and an undying desire to always win. Star Sports 1 Kannada, with its extensive line-up of popular sports content, is a resolute step towards bringing these Kannadiga fans closer to their favourite games and heroes."
A promo campaign was launched to support the launch of Star Sports 1 Kannada. Keeping true to essence of the Kannadiga culture, the promo focuses on the determination and never-say-die attitude of a Kanaddiga.
Star Sports 1 Kannada will be available on leading DTH/ cable operators across Karnataka as well as rest of India soon.

The price of gasoline is on the rise. This is truly a great concern if you are following a tight budget. So how can you save some money on gas?
This is a great idea for employees and students alike. Since all of you will have the same destination, there is no need to bring extra vehicles if you can all fit in one car or van. If you are with your co-workers, it is a good idea to bring your cars alternately or on rotation. If you have children that you bring to school or social events, exchange driving responsibilities with your friends.
You can always take the public transportation system when going to the office. This is also a good way to relax since you are not driving. You can even take a short nap while on your way.
Take time to drive around and check the pump prices of the gas stations near your neighborhood. Keep in mind that a few cents difference can add up to a lot if you continually have your car re-filled in the same gas station all the time.
A good way to save money on gas and keep yourself healthy at the same time is by walking or riding a bike to your destination. It saves time since you do not have to look for parking and also makes you healthier from the exercise. Utilizing these alternatives will also keep you from getting stuck in traffic which will surely waste a lot of your time and gas.
It is necessary to keep your car's engine in good running condition so that it will not consume a lot of fuel. When driving around on errands, plan out your route before you even get out of the house. This will minimize your trips going back and forth. If is also ideal to use the aircon as minimal as possible since it drastically increases the car's fuel consumption.
Keep it a habit to check your car's tires so each one has the right amount of pressure. Having unequal pressure can greatly affect the car's fuel economy. It is also advised for you to refrain from accelerating too fast since this means burning a lot more fuel.
These are some of the things that you can do to save on gas. Gasoline is not a renewable resource, therefore using it wisely is very important to conserve this valuable commodity.

Blog Brilliant Portuguese Women who made History
Brilliant Portuguese Women who made History
pastel_de_nata76 08/03/2018 Blog, Everything else..., Portuguese Leave a Comment
It's International Women's Day (Dia International da Mulher). Today Mother Tongue Notes is celebrating Portuguese women who've made a difference in various sectors of society from politics to science. Some are well known, others not so much.
The aim is to provide a point of reference for parents to discuss with their children of Portuguese heritage, so that boys and girls around the world can learn more about brilliant Portuguese women and, especially, that little girls can feel proud and inspired.
Portugal, a small country of just over 10 million people, had one of the longest dictatorships in Europe during the first half of the XX century. During this time, women's rights were restricted. After the dictatorship fell in 1974, women received legal equality with Portuguese men including the right to vote and full equality in marriage. A generation later, many women were making full use of their new status. Where once they were teachers, secretaries or factory workers, they were now doctors, judges, lawyers and world respected scientists.
Juliana Dias da Costa (1657 – 1734) was the daughter of a Portuguese soldier. She had an exceptional ability for languages and played a diplomatic role in Portugal's negotiations with various countries, a somewhat unusual role for a woman at that time.
Lourdes Pintasilgo (1930-2004) was the first prominent female politician post-revolution. In 1979 she was selected as Prime Minister. In her short tenure of 149 days, she managed to introduce improved social security conditions for all workers.
More recently, Catarina Martins (b. 1973), her deputy Joana Mortágua (b.1986), and Euro-deputy Marisa Matias (b.1976 )have taken the country by storm. They spearhead Bloco de Esquerda (Left Bloc) which won 10% of the vote in the Portuguese general elections of 2015. Bloco de Esquerda is Portugal's equivalent to Greece's anti-austerity Syriza party and it plays a crucial role in the current leftwing alliance. These three young, strong, unconventional women are responsible for a remarkable turnaround in fortunes in macho political culture.
Maria Jose Morgado (b.1951) is a prominent fearless judge determined to fight corruption
Branca Edmée Marques (1899-1986) was an outstanding scientist worked under the famous scientist Madame Marie Curie. Her research work in nuclear physics for peaceful means was finally recognized by the Portuguese State at the age of 67.
Maria Manuel Mota (b.1971) is a scientist based in New York, working in the field of Malaria. Her first big discovery was in 1999.
The engineer Elvira Fortunato (b.1964) created the first paper-based chip which has many applications including screens, identification chips and medical. She has 16 patents, one with Samsung.
Renata Gomes (b. 1985) a Cardiovascular Regeneration Scientist based in the UK
Sophia de Mello Breyner (1919-2004) started composing poetry at 16 years old. She first published in 1941. Later in life she also wrote children's stories. In 1999 she was awarded the laureate Camões Prize for her outstanding contribution to Portuguese culture.
Florbela Espanca (1894-1930) wrote heartfelt poems and sonnets that expressed the state of a woman with very strong emotions, internally tortured and unsatisfied. She represented a section of educated Portuguese women of that period. Sadly, she was not published during her lifetime and recognition tragically late, after she ended her life.
Irene Lisboa (1892-1958) was a journalist, poet and writer. She was a strong advocate for emancipation and equality of women. She self-published as her political views were unaccepted by the authorities. Thirty-one years after her death she was awarded the "Ordem de Liberdade".
Natália Correia (1923-1993) was a poet, novelist and writer. After the 1974 Revolution she became involved in politics and was elected as a deputy to parliament. Her strong personality kept her in the forefront of the news for many years.
Paula Rego (b. 1935) left Lisbon in 1954 to attend Art School in London. She married an Englishman, a fellow artist, and settled in the UK. However, her roots feature constantly in her work which is of a figurative style of painting. Her name is renowned in the art world and she's one of the top four best living painters in England.
Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) studied in Lisbon and in 1928 moved to Paris to frequent the Academy La Grande Chaumiére. She married the famous painter Arpad Szénes in 1924. She held her first individual exhibition in Paris in 1933. This act forced her to forfeit her Portuguese nationality, which deeply saddened her. After the Revolution of 1974 she returned to Portugal.
Joana Vasconcelos (b. 1971) is an internationally acclaimed visual artist. Her large-scale installations deal with national identity and gender.
Luísa Holstein (1841-1909) was the first female sculptress of note and won awards for her works in Portugal and in the Paris Salon. She was also very active in political matters and was very charitable.
Josefa d'Óbidos (1630-1684) was one of the few women painters of the time and developed a very distinctive style, even when she depicted religious popular at the time.
Maria João Pires (b. 1963) is a world-renowned pianist, recognized as a leading interpreter of Mozart.
Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999) was a popular singer of "Fado", a distinct Portuguese style of lyric that is sung in a special manner and accompanied on a viola and Portuguese guitar. She became an internationally known star, touring in New York and at the Olympia in Paris.
Mariza (b. 1973) has been described as a "feminine Frank Sinatra". The fado singer launched her award-winning debut álbum "Fado em Mim" in 2001 to international acclaim. The Spanish newspaper El País, said "you don't go to listen, you go to feel"
Rosa Mota (b. 1958) was the first Portuguese sportswoman to win Olympic gold. She was also the first woman to win multiple Olympic marathon medals as well as being the only woman to be the reigning European, World, and Olympic champion at the same time. She distinguished by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) as the greatest female marathon runner of all time.
Vanessa Fernandes (b. 1985) is a former triathlon European and world champion, and a Olympic medalist. In duathlon, she was European and world champion and won the European Triathlon Championships five consecutive years.
Fernanda Ribeiro (b. 1969) is long distance runner. At the 1996 Summer Olympics she won the women's 10000 m gold medal, establishing a new Olympic record of 31:01.63.
Carolina Beatriz Ângelo (1878 –1911) was a Portuguese physician and the first woman to vote in Portugal. She used a loophole in the law that issued the right to vote to literate head-of-households over 21. As a window, she managed to cast her vote in the 1911 elections, but the law makers acted swiftly to close that loophole and specify that the head-of-household should be male.
Lourdes Sa Teixeira (b. 1907) became the first woman pilot in 1928, aged 21, against the wishes of her family and society
Antónia Rodrigues (1580-1641) was a Portuguese soldier and heroine. Antónia dressed herself as a man, adopted the name of António Rodrigues and joined the crew of a ship headed to Portuguese territory in Morocco. After her arrival she enlisted in the local infantry and made herself noted for her campaigns against the moors. She was eventually discovered but was decorated for service by Filipe II.
Antónia Gertrudes Pusich (1805-1883), born in Cape Verde to a Portuguese mother, was a prominent portuguese feminist of the XIX century. She was the first female Portuguese journalist publishing under her real (women used pseudonyms before that) and the first female newspaper founder.
Everyday women
There have been so many unsung heroes, women who contributed to World War I efforts, to the 1974 revolution efforts and to so many other defining moments in history, without ever having been acknowledged.
Today we also celebrate and commend all the anonymous women who every single day give so much of themselves for others, often at a cost to their own health and well being. They are mums, wives, daughters, carers, professionals.
Lets hope that the children we are raising today grow up to see a truly equal society in their lifetime.

Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard was incorporated in 1671 as one of Martha's Vineyard's two original towns. It's name was given in honor of Edgar, the youngest son of James II of England, who passed away at the age of four. Edgartown's history is famous, having been well known as a primary port for the whaling industry in the 1800's. The booming industry gave rise to rich, antique cape-style homes that sit behind white picket fences, and grand mansions built by successful whaling captains that still stand in gleaming white perfection today.
Historic Edgartown is a picture perfect Massachusetts coastal town, with quaint shops, classic lighthouses, a working harbor, and miles upon miles of rolling beach landscape. From South Beach to Fuller Street, Chappaquiddick to Felix Neck, Edgartown is a pristine and wildly diverse town worth a visit...or many.

Buddhist leader goes the distance
By Mike Sandrock, for dirt | Tuesday October 25, 2005
FEATHER LAKES, Colorado (USA) -- As I run through the "Valley of Death" on this warm August morning, I was glad to have Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Misty Cech and several other runners a step ahead of me. We were running on a dirt road winding through pine forests and lush meadows in the rolling hill country northwest of Fort Collins, heading toward the finish of a 50K run that would end at the Great Stupa at the Shambhala Mountain Center.
Sakyong Mipham is the renowned teacher and spiritual leader of the international Shambhala community, and, since the publication of "Turning Your Mind Into an Ally" in 2004, a best-selling author. He has also turned into a serious marathoner since taking up running just over three years ago, as I found out during this run.
It was the inaugural Great Stupa Run, and there are tentative plans to hold a shorter trail race at the mountain retreat next summer.
"I enjoy running," the Sakyong (an honorary Tibetan term meaning "Earth Protector") said as we started out just past 5 a.m. "We wanted to do a race longer than the marathon distance before New York. But the schedule did not work out, and we decided to hold our own 50K."
On Nov. 6 in New York City, the Sakyong will run his fourth marathon, in part to raise money for the Konchok Foundation, which wants to rebuild a monastic and education center in Tibet's Surmang Valley. Cech, a local yoga instructor and naturopath, as well as an excellent runner, will accompany him in New York, along with her husband, Eric, and training partners Nick Trautz and Jon Pratt.
Sakyong Mipham, 42, has a personal best of 3 hours, 9 minutes in the marathon, which he ran in Edmonton last year. He also has completed California's Big Sur Marathon and the venerable Boston Marathon. The Sakyong is well-known in Boulder because of his position as head of Shambhala and because his father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founded Naropa University and is credited with helping bring Tibetan Buddhism to the West.
On this long morning run, we are not talking about Buddhist spirituality, however, but rather running and writing. Listening to him speak, it is clear that Sakyong Mipham is a spiritual leader for the 21st century, someone with centuries of Tibetan Buddhist teaching and traditions behind him, yet well-versed in the modern world.
He is even a Broncos fan.
