I'm fascinated by the challenges creators face, which is why I coach creators. And I'm my own client — in fact, I'm the one client I'd better love working with, because I'm kinda stuck with me, for life. So every now and then I'm going to post some brief lists of things I'm noticing while I work on my novel draft. Just little tidbits that might spark you to say, hey, that's true for me too. Or, hmm — that's not true for me at all. Interesting.
1. When the writing feels really daunting, there's only one thing to do: Write one sentence. Really. And there's only one thing to do after that: write one sentence. I can go the whole way that way.
2. Sometimes, I worry I've gone in the wrong direction with a scene. But the problem isn't that I've gone in the wrong direction. The problem is the worrying about it. I don't have to worry. When I'm clear that it's wrong enough, I will change it. That's all I need to know.
3. Discomfort is okay. It's not a sign I should stop, or that what I'm writing is terrible. It does mean I need to be extra-compassionate with myself in order to keep moving forward. Yes, my dear. This is hard. The fact that it's hard doesn't mean something is wrong.
4. I love the process. And I thank my lucky stars that I do. When I get very results-focused, I can forget that I write to begin with because I love it. Because it's my particular way of expressing what I value, who I am. The process can be its own reward, even when I desire a certain outcome. Valuing, even relishing, the process does not mean I am giving up on results. It just means I get to be happy now, instead of then.
What are you noticing while you create? I'd love to hear from you.
Also: while I'm on the subject of writing, as I've mentioned previously, I'm both a participant and a coach for Jenna Avery's Just Do the Writing Accountability Circle. Tomorrow, March 15, is the last day to sign up for the next session. If you're having trouble committing to a daily writing habit, I highly recommend you check out this group!

HomeResource CenterArticlesWhat is a C Corporation?
What is a C Corporation?
When you're in business, you may choose to operate as a corporation instead of an LLC. Whether you've already incorporated or you're just getting started, it helps to know some fundamentals.
A C Corporation (C Corp) is a separate entity – it can own its own property, enter into contracts, sue or be sued in court, and lend or invest money. The entity is created once you incorporate in a state. Like other business entities, corporations file annual reports. The business owners of a c corporation are called shareholders.
Corporate Ownership and Management: Who's Who?
Corporations are owned by shareholders (or stockholders) and managed by directors and officers. A corporation could have hundreds or thousands of shareholders.
CT Observation: Forming a corporation may be a good choice if you eventually want an IPO (initial public offering). Also, many venture capitalists, angels, and other investors prefer a corporation over an LLC.
A corporation's board of directors is elected by shareholders and is responsible for overseeing corporate business and affairs. Corporate officers carry out the day-to-day management of the corporation.
Corporate bylaws contain the basic rules for conducting the corporation's business and affairs. They typically cover things like directors' committees, shareholders' and directors' meeting formalities (e.g., date, place, and notice), office location, and the powers, duties, and qualifications of directors and officers.
CT Observation: In a closely held corporation with a handful of shareholders, individual business owner(s) typically wear many "hats" at one time: shareholder, officer, and director. Also, even though stock is "technically" freely transferable, closely held shareholders typically enter into buy-sell agreements or other agreements.
How Do I Form My Corporation?
The process of incorporation involves properly filing your Articles of Incorporation, designating your registered agent, and paying the state's fee. You'll also typically hold an organizational meeting and adopt corporate bylaws.
Each state has its own rules on what it asks for in the Articles of Incorporation. Typically, articles of incorporation contain:
Corporation's name
Number of authorized shares (per class of shares and with description of rights)
Corporation's registered agent and registered office
Names and addresses of incorporators
Some states may also ask for the corporation's purpose (e.g., a general purpose like "any lawful business") and for names of initial directors. Optional items in the Articles of Incorporation include provisions regarding management and the rights, powers and authority of directors and shareholders.
After the Articles of Incorporation are filed, an organizational meeting is held to complete organization of the corporation. Often, a "paper meeting" is held and a signed statement of the action taken is filed in the corporation's minutes book.
What's the Difference Between an S Corp and a C Corp?
Once you've incorporated and your corporation exists, it may have some choice in whether it's taxed as a "C Corporation" or an "S Corporation."
Under IRS rules, a corporation is automatically a C Corporation. But, if it qualifies, you could make an IRS election to be an S Corporation instead.
CT Observation: The difference between an S Corporation and a C Corporation is an IRS tax difference. Regardless of which IRS tax status it has, it's simply a "corporation" for purposes of state business entity compliance.
In other words, when you incorporate, the corporation you form with the state could end up in the IRS's eyes as a C Corporation or an S Corporation.
CT Observation: State tax rules and federal IRS rules may differ. Even though a good number of states recognize federal S corporation tax status, some don't. Also, a state may have its own election rules. This should also be addressed when talking with your advisor.
The names "C Corporation" and "S Corporation" come from subchapters of the Internal Revenue Code. Federal tax rules for C Corps appear in Subchapter "C" of the Internal Revenue Code. Federal tax rules for S Corps appear in Subchapter "S" of the Internal Revenue Code.
CT Observation: To qualify to get S Corp tax treatment from the IRS, you have to satisfy some fairly strict tax rules – including (but not only) an IRS election. The trade-off for jumping through all of the IRS's hoops to be taxed as an S Corp is that, in contrast to C Corp owners, an S Corp's owners enjoy pass-through taxation.
If you'd prefer pass-through taxation or you'd like more information on S Corps, see our S Corporation discussion to read more about S Corps.
How Are C Corporations Taxed for Federal Income Tax Purposes?
C Corporations are separate taxpayers for federal income tax purposes. A C Corp files its own federal income tax return and pays its own income taxes (similar to an individual).
Because of this, dividends paid to shareholders are widely known for "double-taxation." The C Corp pays tax on its income. And, shareholders generally must pay taxes on C Corporation dividends. This means that the income is taxed twice: once to the C Corporation and a second time to the shareholder.
A less-widely known tax aspect of C Corporations is that with the proper planning, owners could avoid, or significantly lessen, double-taxation by using other tax-savings strategies available to C Corps. For example, owners may be able to keep earnings in the business for reasonable purposes (instead of distributing any taxable dividends).
Also, C Corp owners might be able to achieve a lower tax bill with a combination of salary-and-distributions and a reduced (or no) taxable gain on the sale of certain qualifying stock. For a qualifying business, the favorable Internal Revenue Code Section 1202 gain reduction (or in some cases, exclusion) available to C Corporations could be highly beneficial come tax time.
How is a Benefit Corporation Different?
A benefit corporation allows a company to benefit society while earning a profit. A benefit corporation differs from a traditional for-profit corporation in three main areas: corporate purposes, director duties, and annual reporting. Over half of the U.S. states authorize benefit corporations. For more information on benefit corporations, see frequently asked questions about benefit corporations.

What an amazing week we had in DC!
I have been talking about our Special Education Legislative Summit for months and it was held this past week. What I haven't said much about was the CEC Leadership meeting that was held just prior to the Summit. Many of the leaders of the State and Provincial units and Divisions gathered in D.C. to learn more from CEC and other Associational leaders on how to better meet the needs of our members. About half of those folks stayed for the Legislative Summit. There was only about an hour break between the two meetings since we started the Summit a bit earlier than in the past. Sunday afternoon/evening was packed full of information and the beginnings of the training for the Hill trip on Tuesday. There were 43 states and 1 Canadian province among the 208 attendees! Monday was a great day of training ending with team meetings and wonderful remarks by Roberto Rodriguez from the White House. His comments were very targeted to Special education with a charge for us to demonstrate our leadership and take our message to the Hill! A very preliminary count of visits made on Tuesday is 230 — up from last year's 188! Start making your plans now to join the team next July! Special thanks to all the CASE leadership and CEC staff and leadership for this great collaborative effort. I would like to personally thank CASE Legislative Consultant, Myrna Mandlawitz and CASE former Policy Chair, Phyllis Wolfram, who just transitioned into the CASE President Elect position.
Speaking of last week's event, one of the highlights is always our Thank You Reception... Last Monday night, we sponsored our annual Thank You Reception for those many associations that partner with CASE and CEC throughout the year. One of those associations that was represented was the National PTA organization. So I thought for this week's FREE Resource I would point you in the direction of the Connect for Respect materials. The premise behind C4R is a positive environment/school climate is the best way to prevent Bullying. Take a look at these materials and pass them on to your schools. And if you have some cool FREE resources you are using, pass them along to me so I can share with everyone!
And About Friends to the North — CANADA... At the CEC Leadership meeting, there was a nice contingent from Canada! During several of the breakout sessions, there were opportunities for the Canadian leaders to discuss common issues. During one of those breakouts, CASE Past President Laurie VanderPloeg (MI) joined the group to listen and get ideas how CASE could better meet the needs of our Canadian members. It was a great opportunity to listen to our friends to the North. If you are from Canada, give us some ideas on how to better meet your needs. Send me information to share to your fellow Canadians!
Do you have your room for the Historic CASE/NASDSE Joint Conference this September? The Hyatt is sold out but we have rooms at the brand new Spring Hill Suites that is actually connected to the Hyatt by a weatherproof skywalk. So, get reserve your room today with a room rate of $149 this will be a great conference that will also be easy on your budget! The Spring Hill Suites price includes internet and breakfast! To learn all about this conference, the rates, and other important information, download the registration packet or go to the www.casecec.org for all the information and links! Be sure to get registered as soon as possible as you will not want to miss this historic event!
The Poll for last week asked which of the 9 political issues discussed at the Summit you thought was the most critical? First place at 56 percent was education appropriations. Second place at 38 percent was School-based Mental Health. Last place at 6 percent was IDEA Reauthorization. Many of the teams agreed with you as they did their presentations with their congressional delegations, though I will say Early Childhood seemed to also be one of the big issues.
Watch for more ways for you to get more involved with your U.S. and state representatives. Thanks again for all you do for so many…stay cool and safe this week!

História
Colonização, a uma vaca, uma vitela, uma égua, uma carroça com alfaias e um empréstimo de seis mil escudos. Estas facilidades levaram a que, a partir de 1952, cinco anos após o início das obras de transformação da herdade, 206 colonos e respectivas famílias ali se fixassem.

Os três núcleos contavam ainda com outras infraestruturas, a saber, escolas primárias, centros de convívio, 3 centros sociais de apoio à infância e postos médicos, igreja em Pegões Velhos e nas Faias, cemitério, 3 centros de assistência técnica, casas para os técnicos residentes e uma Pousada para o pessoal técnico exterior.

Dos requisitos para o recrutamento dos colonos elaborados em 1938 e registados num parecer da Câmara Corporativa, constava que o candidato deveria «Ser português, menor de 45 anos, robusto e saudável, sério, ter amor ao trabalho e à família, não ser alcoólico, nem desordeiro, acatar a Constituição e a ordem social, ser anti-comunista, católico, casado pelo civil e religioso, ter exercido durante cinco anos mesteres agrícolas (...)».

O Prof. Henrique de Barros foi o grande mentor do projecto técnico de colonização e José Garcês Pereira Caldas, como Presidente da Junta de Colonização Interna, o executor.

O projecto arquitectónico, saído do traço dos arquitectos Henrique Albino e António José de Oliveira Trigo, apresenta um aspecto pitoresco, cuja tipologia conservadora e ruralista é típica do Estado Novo, com os seus telhados, arcadas e alpendres caracteristicos.

Em contraste com este estilo, o conjunto de edíficios constituído pela Igreja de Santo Isidro, pelas casas do pároco e professoras e pelas duas escolas do núcleo de Pegões Velhos, sobressai pelo traço modernista, e paradoxal, do arquitecto Eugénio Correia. Aqui importa salientar a influência da obra de Oscar Niemeyer, quer pelas evidentes filiações intelectuais ligadas ao modernismo brasileiro em voga nos anos 40 do século XX, mas também pela concepção e interação do projecto com o espaço envolvente e pelos materiais utilizados (fuso cerâmico).

A 7 de Março de 1958 foi constituída a Cooperativa Agrícola de Santo Isidro de Pegões, como infraestrutura indispensável de apoio ao plano de fomento e ordenamento agrícola executado pela Junta de Colonização Interna que, em colaboração com a Junta Nacional do Vinho, implantou na área cerca de 800 hectares de vinha e todos os meios técnicos e humanos. O projecto de arquitectura dos edifícios da Cooperativa e Adega é da autoria do arquitecto Neves Teixeira. Superada a fase de ocupação decorrente do processo revolucionário iniciado em Abril de 1974, a Cooperativa Agrícola de Santo Isidro empreendeu um amplo projecto de recuperação e modernização que tornaram os vinhos de Pegões reconhecidos e premiados tanto a nível nacional como internacional.

Após a Revolução de Abril, e com a consequente extinção da Junta de Colonização Interna, iniciou-se um longo processo de regularização da posse dos casais e terrenos agrícolas, até então Património do Estado em renda resolúvel (num valor total de 180.000 Escudos, pagos em quotas anuais de 7.000 Escudos - anos 1960/70). A insistência dos colonos levou à atribuição da posse plena das suas fracções em finais da década de 1980.

Jodi Arias Testifies About How She Killed Travis Alexander, Claims She 'Blacked Out' While Stabbing Him
By:Jessika Walsten
Feb. 20 2013, Published 8:38 p.m. ET
Surprisingly, for a woman who can remember every minute of phone calls and conversations, murder defendant, Jodi Arias couldn't recall any of the key details when it came to the grisly killing of former boyfriend Travis Alexander - despite having stabbed him 27 times, slit his throat and shot him in the face.
On her ninth day of testimony - which has so far covered everything from her childhood up until the moment she killed the motivational speaker in June 2008 - Arias' dramatic account of events Wednesday gripped the Maricopa County Courtroom in Phoenix, Arizona as she told the jury how Travis,30, threatened, "I will f***ing kill you, b*tch," after she dropped his camera.
Claiming she was in fear for her life, Jodi – who is now facing the possibility of death if found guilty of her victim's murder – ran as Travis chased her and she grabbed a gun she claimed Alexander kept in his closet and pointed it at him, in the hope of making her alleged aggressor back down, she said.
"He kept running, like a linebacker. I didn't mean to shoot him or anything. I didn't even think I was holding the trigger," she testified. "I didn't even know I shot him. It just went off. He lunged at me and we fell really hard. We were struggling and wrestling and he was getting on top of me." Alexander, she said, cursed, and threatened to kill her as she broke free.
Arias, 32, went on to share that after Alexander was shot she "blacked out" rendering her unable to recount much of the integral events that occurred immediately afterwards.
"There are a lot of gaps. I have no memory of stabbing him," Arias said as her attorney gently led her through her testimony.
"Do you remember dragging him across the floor," she was asked - and was barely audible when she answered, "no, I just remember trying to get away from him.
"I have a few memories…I have a vague memory of putting the knife in the dishwasher but I've put the knife in the dishwasher before," she said, describing the weapon she used to stab Alexander. "I just remember screaming. And I don't remember anything after that — not immediately."
Instead of calling 911, Jodi admitted that she left Travis' bloody body in the bathroom and hit the road to Utah to continue on her trip to visit her new love interest, Ryan Burns, as planned.
Along the way, Arias testified, she ditched the gun in the desert and washed the blood from her hands.
"I knew I had messed up pretty badly. I was very upset, I just wanted to die," said Jodi, who tried to cover her tracks for as long as possible.
Arias said, she called Ryan and her friend Leslie with a made up story that she had gotten lost, then there were numerous calls to Travis' cell phone until she finally recorded a voice mail where she wasn't crying.
"I figured that eventually his voice mails are going to be listened to and this would throw the scent off," she explained.
"To keep up the pretense, I had to stick to the schedule and part of that was arriving in Utah." As part of the ongoing façade, she testified that when she reached her destination, she kissed and cuddled with Ryan, in a bid to act "as normal as possible."
Going on to tell the court that after her whirlwind trip, she returned both back to work and to her family in Yreka, California without alerting anyone that Travis was dead.
"I tried to act like nothing had happened and waited for the clock to tick down," she explained.
While waiting, Jodi bought a gun claiming, "I was on the fence about suicide," and also because she had always wanted to know how to handle a firearm properly.
After the rest of the world learned that Travis had died – and Jodi was officially told the news herself – she testified that she played the part of the mourning ex-girlfriend by attending his memorial service in Mesa to avoid suspicion.
Before she could put a gun to her own head, Jodi was arrested and made her first false statement to Detective Flores, by denying she had been at Travis' house on the day of his death.
"I was very ashamed of what happened," she testified. "I didn't want my family to know that I had done that. I just couldn't bring myself to say that I'd done that."
Once the evidence proved she was present, the next piece of fantasy Arias created involved blaming mystery masked intruders, explaining that she thought it would match the forensic evidence found at the scene.
Arias, who maintains she killed Alexander in self defense after suffering ongoing horrifying sexual and physical abuse at his hands, explained to the court that she did not want to tell anyone about his violent streak or his sexual deviance in fear of ruining his image.
"I didn't feel like I had a future anyway. There wasn't any reason to take him down…I didn't want people to know the level of violence our relationship had reached," she claimed — so, she said she glossed over it in both the police interviews and her subsequent interview with CBS. Both were conducted while she was in prison.
Arias also claimed that around the time of Alexander's death she made repeated plans to kill herself by collecting Advil and razor blades, but never went through with it.
"I was really pi**ed at myself I wanted to be dead before Travis' birthday on July 28," she testified.
The defense finished questioning Arias on Wednesday, leaving the stage open for the highly anticipated cross examination by prosecuting attorney Juan Martinez to begin Thursday.

Sharjah directs eateries not to serve errant motorists
The photo has been used for illustrative purposes.
All food establishments operating in the city of Sharjah have been urged to refrain from serving customers who wait in cars parked in lots that are reserved for certain special groups of the community, or who park randomly obstructing traffic in the process, the Sharjah Municipality announced on Wednesday.
The move comes within the Municipality's keenness to serve customers who wait in regular parking lots, not those who park illegally or who hinder traffic movement. It also aims to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the emirate.
Sheikha Shaza Al Mualla, Assistant Director General of the Public Health Division and Central Laboratories, confirmed that the Food Control Department has instructed all food establishments to refrain from serving the customers who park their cars randomly in front of them.
The Municipality distributed clear notices through which it emphasised the importance of commitment with the instructions and warned about the measures that would be taken against those who fail to abide by them, she added.
For his part, Khalid Bin Falah Al Suwaidi, Assistant General Manager of the Customer Service, explained that the Public Parking Department performs its role by periodically inspecting the parking lots to monitor the misuse of public parking, such as parking in the spaces designated for certain categories or reserved lots for shops, or parking randomly thereby blocking traffic.
Recently, Sharjah City Municipality rolled out 400 touch-screen parking meters. This project comes as part of the municipality's efforts to transform its services into electronic and smart services to facilitate procedures for its customers.
Thabet Salem Al Tarifi, Director General of Sharjah Municipality, affirmed that using this technology in parking meters is a pioneering step in the Middle East, and in line with the municipality's keenness to provide services for customers to save time as part of the project "Sabeq," which transfers all its services digitally instead of using paper.

This is due to the OpenVPN connection being active (when disabling OpenVPN, than all is ok), so trying to be able to allow the remote VPN access the machine.

Q: Query on Awk Script 780745,0,3,0,sto_un_os_fast,daily,lonrb08390,lonrs08841,1355250030,0000015139,1355265169

In the above file, I would like to print lonrb... & 3rd column after that.
Can someone please help me with this?
The problem I face with awk '{print $6, $9}' is that the columns change for 783333,0,1,, lines.

A: Umm - you should be able to do this by specifying "," as the field separator.
awk -F, '{print $7, $10}

A: Apart from the fact that it looks like columns 7 and 10, I'm not sure what the issue is:
awk -F, '{ print $7, $10 }'

In the 783333,0,1,, line, there is an empty field after the 1 and before the sto_un_os_fast, but empty fields still count as a field.
lonrb08390 0000015139
lonrb08390 0000032370
lonrb08390 0000003967
lonrb07366 0000001475

If you want a comma separating the output fields, then you can either use OFS=, or simply use printf instead of print.
awk -F, 'BEGIN { OFS = "," } { print $7, $10 }'
awk -F, '{ printf "%s,%s\n", $7, $10 }'

Both those produce the output:
lonrb08390,0000015139
lonrb08390,0000032370
lonrb08390,0000003967

Jeremy Clarkson finally broke silence over Top Gear exit this morning
Jeremy Clarkson has at last spoken out about his controversial exit from Top Gear this morning with Chris Evans on his BBC2 radio show, admitting that "it was my own silly fault, so I could hardly complain."
Clarkson told Evans that: "[Top Gear] was very much my baby and I absolutely adored it and I worked all the time on it, all through the night.
"Then suddenly you're not asked to do that any more, [and] you do feel as though there's a big hole which doesn't get filled."
He went on to say; "I have been at the BBC for 27 years. When you emerge after 27 years, you find the world is changed. When you learn how the world works, you can start to work out what to do."
He admitted that there have been plenty of calls from broadcasters looking to sign the former Top Gear team, but he said; "I'd be a fool jump into something". He added that he wasn't sure what his plan was next but said; "Well I'm not going to be a milkman, not with those early starts."
While he also took the time to acknowledge his former employers: "I like the BBC - there are some dreadful people in it but there are also some really talented, brilliant people. It's a great organisation and I thank them for giving me such a long time there."

I could write you a summary, but the title says it all: this is a book about Jane Austen's life. As much as anyone can tell about it years and years after she died.
I love Austen's books. If you've read some of my Top Ten Tuesday lists you probably know how much I love Jane Austen. And Pride and Prejudice in particular. I've read it countless times and watched the movie so many times I practically know it line for line.
Which is why I'm a bit ashamed to admit I didn't really know that much about the author herself. And come to think of it, I don't really know that much about authors in general. I did know Austen never married and that she died at the age of 42 from an unknown illness.
I loved, loved, LOVED learning more about this woman who wrote such incredible books! It makes it feel more personal and probably made me love her even a bit more. It's sad that so many of her letters were burned or censured. And it really makes me curious to know what was in them that caused them to be burned! What kind of dirty little secrets were they hiding? I don't think we'll ever find out, it adds a sort of mistery to it all.
The book was really well written in my opinion. I don't read a lot of non-fiction and think biographies or memoirs can get stuffy and a bit boring if you're not careful. This was a really readable biography, I felt like it was more of a story than a summing up of facts, which I really appreciated.
One thing I have to say that I didn't like so much: there were lots of pictures in the book, and while I enjoyed those, most of the time they had literally nothing to do with the part of Jane's life the author was describing. I thought they were a bit awkwardly placed and because they didn't add to the part I was reading, they were kind of distracting.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed the book and can now proudly say I know more about my favourite author!

IndyCar Championship Weekend
Dixon Seeking 5th Title, Ganassi Team Seeking 12th Title
Scott Stiller
Chris Owens-IndyCar Series
Sonoma, CA (93.7 The Fan) - The Verizon IndyCar Series Championship comes down to this weekend's IndyCar Grand Prix of Sonoma at Sonoma Raceway in California.
PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon leads Andretti Autosport's Alexander Rossi by 29-points. Team Penske's Josef Newgarden and Will Power are 87-points behind Dixon and have a mathematical shot at the title because it is a double-points race. 104-points are available this weekend.
Dixon has won 4-IndyCar titles and Chip Ganassi Racing has won 11-titles since 1996. Newgarden is the defending series champion and Will Power captured the Astor Cup in 2014. Rossi has never won the championship.
The championship is nearly a winner-take-all situation for both Dixon and Rossi and that's fine with the drivers.
"We'll try to have the fastest car we can prepare, qualify where we can and put our heads down," said Dixon, who has scored victories at Sonoma in 2007, 2014 and 2015. "Everyone on the PNC Bank team has been focused and working hard and we'll just keep pushing like we have been all season and see what happens."
"We have had some really strong pace in the 2nd half of the year," said Rossi. "We will be looking to execute the same thing this weekend, and hopefully, it will be enough to walk away with our first IndyCar championship."
Newgarden and Power need perfect execution as well as some troubles for their rivals to come away with their second titles.
"It's been a very up-and-down season, but we're ready to do everything we can to make a run at the championship," said Newgarden. "Some races have gone our way, and some have not, but we're going to forget about that and put a strong effort forward with the No. 1 Verizon Chevrolet."
"We're heading to Sonoma knowing we need to fight for every point we can for a chance at the championship," said Power. "We'll need a little bit of luck on our side, but it's still something we can achieve."
This is the 13th consecutive year that the IndyCar Series championship will be decided in the final race.
There will be two practice session on Friday, 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. ET and 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. ET. One practice session on Saturday from 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. ET followed by qualifying from 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. ET and the race Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The race will be televised by the NBC Sports Network and carried by the IndyCar Radio Network.

I am an electrician and was asked to connect a Waste Water Treatment Plant in Reyðarfjörður by a company in Egilsstaðir.
The distance between the Waste Water Treatment Plant and Egilsstaðir is about 30 km, and the plant has no way of being connected to the Internet. It is a very small plant of about 50-80 cubic meters per 24 hours, but supervision is needed about 4-5 times a week.
The unit came with a MJK Connect pump control, which I installed. Subsequently I began to read and learn about project monitoring and supervision, so that I could save my client every second trip to Reyðarfjörður.
I asked my client to contact the System Integrator Raftakn, whom I know works with IGSS and has good programmers employed. He never made contact, and eventually I had to try to execute the project myself.
Before I started, I spent a day or two watching online training videos and practicing.
First I drew the factory in the Definition module and got this device to work. It took a while, but I am quite proud of the result.
We have only used one MJK Connect PLC and we have only used normal GSM connections. Now we are endeavoring to use GPRS communication and MODBUS protocol.
The solution will supervise, among other things the level in the buffer tank, the flow in the drain, the heating in the UV lamp and UV intensity.
The MJK Connect PLC collects time stamp data for Delta In and Delta Out figures, which helps to supervise the collected flow. The configuration of the project is 48 objects, but I am confident that I could omit a few of them if I had to.
With GPRS my customer would be able to supervise the Waste Water Treatment Plant much better, and in time I will probably be asked to extend the solution so changes to the plant objects can be made online, etc.
At that time I will probably have to omit some objects or purchase access to more objects.


I recently became a fan of the designer Heidi Merrick. There is something unfussy about her designs that appeals to me, a certain California-cool. Even her leather pants (vegan, of course) are designed with a little more room to move...these are clothes to live in.
February and March are such transitional months for me, fashion-wise. I'm totally over winter at this point, but it drags on with gray days (and in most of the country, ice and snow on a Biblical scale), even though the shop windows start to fill up with spring and resort collections. How to bridge the gap until April?
Shoes are a good place to start. Something floral, something playful, something to lighten up the inevitable heavy outer layer (further helped by a bright hue). An unusual cut elevates this blouse, while pretty danglers and a conservative bag keep it all office-appropriate despite the daring fabrics. Leather for day? Living on the edge? The edge of winter, the edge of spring...a gal's gotta find her fun somewhere.

This lascivious voyeur, savoring the spectacle of the nude female figure, belongs to a series of works from the late 1960s that are understood to be thinly-veiled references to Picasso and his wife, Jacqueline. The present composition belongs to a series of sexualized visual exchanges between a be-hatted man and nude women, and it is by far the most erotically-charged, with the couple reciprocating each other's gaze. The contortions of the model, whose facial features resemble those of Jacqueline, call to mind some of Picasso's most sensually explicit depictions of the voluptuous Marie-Thérèse from the 1930s. In this later work, though, a male figure has entered the composition, whose physical proximity to the nude could be interpreted as the 88-year-old Picasso himself reclaiming the sexual stamina of his youth.
Themes of sex and passion would appear in many guises throughout Picasso's final years, such as the virile musketeers and pipe-smoking brigadiers entangled in romantic encounters with women, or the relationship between the painter and his model as depicted in the studio. The artist's choice of a brothel theme here reflects his life-long admiration of the works of Degas, whose scenes of maisons closes were a potent source of inspiration for Picasso.
Executed on beige colored laid paper. Sheet is t-hinged to a mount at 3 places along top edge of verso. The edges are deckled and slightly mat stained. The sheet overall is slightly time-stained. There are various accretions and faint stains visible on perimeter of verso from previous mounting and a few scattered pindot repairs are visible throughout sheet. There are a few faint creases to the bottom left quadrant. Some darker natural inclusions are visible scattered throughout the sheet. The work is in overall good condition.

Something crazy happening on our roads
Olivia McLeish is surprised to hear of the spike in female drivers. Picture AAP/David Clark
by Michael Wray
FEMALE drivers have become dominant on Queensland roads, after the number of men licensed to get behind the wheel shifted down last year in a move that has left experts puzzled.
The drop of nearly 32,000 licensed male drivers in 2017 flies in the face of just about every demographic trend in the state, and the Department of Transport was unable to explain what had happened.
The plunge was countered by an equally staggering spike of nearly 130,000 extra women behind the wheel in 2017, meaning that for the first time since 2012 they outnumbered men on the roads.
Transport Department figures show there were 1.82 million licensed female drivers on June 30 last year and 1.76 million male drivers.
Experts have only been able to guess at the reasons, and will be eagerly looking at the next set of licensing statistics to see if last year was an anomaly or the start of a trend.
A Transport Department spokeswoman said there was insufficient "transactional data" to work out exactly why the numbers had shifted so dramatically.
"While we ensure everyone who gets their license meets the required criteria and record the number of licences, we do not record why individuals decided to get their licence," she said.
"In the same vein, we don't record why others decide not to get their licence."
Grace Lutheran student Olivia McLeish, 17, was stunned by the figures, as she said just about all the boys she knew who were old enough to drive had a licence, while many of the girls did not.
Ms McLeish, who has graduated to a provisional licence, applied for one as soon as she was old enough, because it would give her more independence and freedom.
"A lot of my girlfriends, even if they are old enough, don't have their licence, they just don't want to drive," she said.
RACQ spokeswoman Clare Hunter said the figures had set "chins wagging" but the organisation was unable to determine what was behind it.
Ms Hunter said the average increase in the number of males on the road over the past decade had been 46,615 until the dramatic drop last year.
"What really stands out is the increase for female licences is an unusually big one, with a jump of 6.2 per cent," she said.
"While it's difficult to know for sure, we can guess there are a few reasons at play here.
"One could be a large increase in people moving to the Sunshine State and changing over to a Queensland licence.
"The other could be a large proportion of older male drivers relinquishing their licences."
Last year, The Sunday Mail revealed nearly 8000 Queensland driver's licence holders were aged 90 or over, a 30 per cent jump from just three years ago.

Quraish Ghadiali, Orly Gal-Or, Rosa Dolz-Marco, Michael Engelbert; Association of axial length and cortical vitreous morphology as assessed by swept source optical coherence tomography. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2017;58(8):1304.
Purpose : Axial length measurements have been correlated with different ocular diseases yet our understanding of axial length's effects on the vitreoretinal interface is limited. Using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), we retrospectively analyzed structural features of the posterior vitreous and its correlation with axial length.
1) Vitreous degeneration describing the premacular bursa and its relationship to anterior lacunae and degenerative cleavage planes1.
2) Posterior hyaloid status with respect to its vitreofoveal and vitreopapillary adhesions2.
3) Directionality of vitreous fibers with respect to optically empty vitreous spaces.
4) Qualitative assessment of cortical vitreous reflectivity as follows: not observable, homogenous, optically empty, laminated, heterogenous.
5) Presence of vitreous cisterns or lacunae.
Results : Sixty-four eyes of 32 subjects with mean age 40.7 ± 14.2 years were examined. Average axial length was 25.6 ± 2.4 mm. There was no statistical correlation of axial length with grading of vitreous degeneration (p=0.109), posterior hyaloid status (p=0.097), directionality of vitreous fibers (p=0.936), or presence of vitreous cisterns/lacunae (p=0.839). There were, however, significantly higher levels of laminated reflectivity noted in eyes with longer axial lengths (figure 1) (p=0.041).
Conclusions : Increasing axial length correlated with laminated reflectivity of the cortical vitreous in this study, indicating possible stretch-induced cleavage causing multiple planes within the vitreous cortex. This may be a precursor of vitreoschisis and myopic traction maculopathy. It may have surgical implications in vitrectomy as removal of an anterior cleavage plane may falsely suggest vitreous detachment while adherent posterior lamellae may persist. Future imaging studies and correlation with intra-operative OCT may increase our understanding of this novel finding.

X-amining Cable #40
"Into the Dark"
Cable, Domino & Douglock rescue Rene Majcomb from First Strike!
Writer: Todd Dezago
Penciler: Scott Clark
Inker: Chris Carlson
Letterer: Richard Starkings & Comicraft
Colorist: Mike Thomas
Editor-in-Chief: Bob Harras
Cable, Domino and Douglock creep through the woods surrounding a house, seeking out Renee Majcomb. Their presence is detected by a group of masked soldiers called First Strike who work for Bastion and who are also seeking Majcomb. Cable thinks back to how Moira MacTaggert sent Douglock to the X-Mansion in order to recreate Xavier's files on the Mutant Underground, including the location of Majcomb, whom Moira learned was in danger. Meanwhile, inside the house, Majcomb's mutant protector Abyss discovers First Strike's presence. He attacks, absorbing one of the soldiers into his void, but is surprised when she almost dies. Cable manages to take one of the other soldiers hostage, triggering a standoff, at which point he determines that the First Strikers' armor reacts poorly to Abyss' void. He convinces them to give up their fight and return to base, then tries to extract Majcomb. But she insists she is safe enough with Abyss, who is better off being alone with her anyway as they continue her work to cure the Legacy Virus, given he is infected with it himself.
This issue features the first appearance of the "main" version of Abyss, one of Apocalypse's Horsemen in "Age of Apocalypse" who battled the X-Men in Amazing X-Men and was introduced in that reality as a new character without a 616 counterpart (that readers had met yet). He basically presented the same here as in AoA, albeit less evil (and, specifically, as a former Genoshan mutate).
It's also revealed that he is infected with the Legacy virus, though like so much else with that plotline (see below) that never really goes anywhere, and he is considered cured when Colossus' later eradicates the virus in Uncanny X-Men #390. He next appears in Joe Casey's Uncanny X-Men run and hangs around to get drawn into Chuck Austen's "Draco" nonsense, at which point he's revealed to be (one of) Nightcrawler's half brother.
Abyss is serving as the mutant bodyguard (and, presumably, test subject) of Genoshan expatriate Renee Majcomb, who was last seen in this series entering the country in Cable #22. She is presented here as being one of the people working to cure the Legacy Virus. Readers will see her next in Onslaught: Epilogue, though I don't believe the Legacy Virus stuff gets brought up there at all.
More generally, Moira is worried that in the wake of Onslaught and the X-Men's destruction of Xavier's files, more of his Mutant Underground, like Majcomb, may become targets.
First Strike, a more militarized strike force within the larger Operation: Zero Tolerance, uh, operation, debuts this issue. They wear high tech armor that affords them some level of psychic protection (which proves to be especially damaging to them when Abyss draws them into his, uh, abyss) and will return in later issues of this series (as well as Generation X) during the course of the OZT crossover.
In the flashback to Moira's debrief about Renee Majcomb, Douglock says he finds himself drawn to Cable, thinking they may well need each other in the future; I'm fairly certain this can be filed under "throw random hints at the wall, see what sticks" and doesn't come up again.
Harper, Bastion's chief lackey whose appearance is constantly shifting depending on who is drawing him, references a category of "alpha class" mutants, a variation on the previously-referenced omega class mutants (to which Cable will later be designated despite being the alpha class mutant referenced here).
This issue makes its obligatory contribution to the "gee, things sure are getting worse for mutants!" subplot (here, specifically in the case of the human members of Xavier's Mutant Underground).
It's in the Mail
Responses to letters in this issue address the conflicting depictions of SHIELD leadership across the Marvel Universe in the wake of Nick Fury's death, in which GW Bridge is sometimes said to be the new director of SHIELD and other times still just its mutant liaison, with the explanation being that Bridge is in charge but sometimes leaves Val or Dum Dum in charge. The letters page also announces Todd Dezago as the series new regular writer, even though he sticks around for just four issues and seems very much like a placeholder in that time.
Austin's Analysis
With Jeph Loeb gone and "Operation: Zero Tolerance" on the horizon, this is a water treading issue in two ways. For one, Todd Dezago is merely bidding time before the new creative team of James Robinson and Randy Green come aboard, and thus, any major series-specific plot or character developments are going to be put on hold. For another, the series is also a few months out from the next big X-Men crossover event, which means it can't really drop its central character into any significant or complex stories (a malady afflicting far too many X-books around this time). And so, not a whole lot happens here as Cable and Domino battle some OZT goons, contributing to the general atmosphere of "things are getting bad for mutants and Bastion is pretty bad, too" (as well as some vague Legacy Virus stuff) that is permeating the line. In that regard, it reads a lot like, say, X-Force #52, an issue which above all was about perpetuating the general sense of mystery surrounding Onslaught ahead of that crossover, and little else.
The two mildly notable happenings here are the presence of Douglock and the introduction of the "prime" version Abyss. The former doesn't add a whole lot to the story (he could be lifted out pretty easily and the story wouldn't change appreciably), but it's nice to see the series' efforts to reach out to the wider X-universe continue even in Loeb's absence. The introduction of Abyss is similarly shoulder-shruggy: having the character who was at least a visually notable villain in "Age of Apocalypse" turn up in the "real" reality is notable in a "note on their Wikipedia page" kind of way, but it's not like this is the re-introduction of a character who goes on to become an all-time great or anything. Abyss, like so much else from this era, including his infection with the Legacy Virus and connection to the efforts to cure it will, more or less, simply disappear...into an abyss.

Huh. I read Casey's and Austen's UNCANNY, and I have zero memory of Abyss. He must not have left an impression!
Though I didn't read CABLE, I'm still surprised to hear Todd Dezago and James Robinson had (brief) runs writing the series. In my head, it just went straight from Jeph Loeb to Joe Casey's lauded run.
Oh, and Deadpool needs to sue those First Strike guys for stealing his mask design. After he resolves the suit Spider-Man filed against him for the same thing, of course. (Though I think 'Pool has a stronger case. The First Strikers look EXACTLY like him, while he only look somewhat like Spidey.)
Blam April 11, 2022 at 10:57 PM
I don't think I knew that James Robinson wrote Cable. His work on Firearm suggests that it could be a good fit, although given that his Starman run is nearly as memorable to me for its dubious continuity as for its cool deep-cut references I can't help wonder how those tendencies will play out in the X-Men world.
I misread your "in a nutshell" and thought they fought "Fist Strike," which would be the ultimate 90s villain name.

Do You Love Bulldogs And Labs Equally? Then You Might Be Considering A Bulldog Lab Mix.
But Before You Pick Up Your Puppy, There Are A Few Things You'll Need To Know.
We Take A Look A The Bullador, His Health And Whether A Bulldog Lab Mix Is The Right Pet For You.
Any list of people's favorite dog breeds is sure to include both the Labrador Retriever and the English Bulldog.
Many dog lovers are interested in the idea of a Labrador Bulldog mix—called a Bullador—as a pet.
Yes, Bulldog and Lab mix dogs have sweet faces and endearing personalities, but is a Bulldog x Labrador cross the right mixed breed dog for you?
Crossing Labs with other dog breeds has become increasingly popular in recent years, producing such "designer" mixes as Labradoodles and Goldadors.
But crossing a Lab with a Bulldog could have serious health implications for the offspring.
Anyone interested in a Bulldog Lab mix should be aware of the inherited health problems of both breeds…but especially the English Bulldog.
Cultivating the extreme look of the Bulldog has created some serious health problems for the breed.
Upsettingly, recent genetic research has even questioned the long-term viability of the Bulldog as a distinct breed.
Will an English Bulldog Labrador mix end up being a healthy dog with the Lab's good conformation, or will it be a dog with the Bulldog's many structural problems and associated health challenges?
The truth is, we can never know for sure before mating the two. And afterwards, it's too late.
In this article we'll take an in-depth look at the Bulldog Lab mix's health, personality and needs.
So you can make an informed decision about whether an English Bulldog and Lab mix dog is right for you.
What is the history of the English Bulldog and Lab mix?
Any mixed breed dog can be the result of a chance encounter between two dogs.
But planned hybrid mixes of two purebred dog breeds have become popular in the past few decades.
The Bullador, like other Lab mixes, came into being when dog fanciers sought to combine the active, friendly, and good-natured Lab with other breeds.
Aiming to create a mixed breed dog that would have the Lab's traits and the desired traits of the second breed.
In the case of the Bulldog Lab mix, breeders wanted to cross in the distinctive appearance and loving, calm nature of the English Bulldog with the Labrador Retriever.
The idea is appealing, there is no doubt.
But as with any mixed breed dog, the Bulldog Labrador mix can have any combination of the physical appearance and personality of the parent breeds.
This natural unpredictability, combined with some serious potential health problems, are important factors to keep in mind when considering the Bullador as a pet.
What are the characteristics of the English Bulldog and the Labrador Retriever that go into the Bulldog Lab mix?
The two breeds were created for very different purposes.
They both have evolved from their original "jobs" to become beloved canine companions.
The English Bulldog is a member of the American Kennel Club's non-sporting breed group.
Originally developed for the (now defunct) sport of bull baiting, today's Bulldog is a famously mellow and easygoing companion animal.
The Bulldog is a low to medium energy pet, not much of a barker, and good with children and other animals.
This sweet natured dog is unfortunately burdened by some significant health problems linked to its distinctive head and body structure.
The Labrador Retriever was first developed in Newfoundland, Canada as a working dog for fishermen.
The breed then became a valued sporting dog, retrieving waterfowl and other game brought down by hunters.
The Labrador's friendly and outgoing personality has made it one of the most popular dog breeds in the world.
It has been ranked number one in popularity among U.S. dog breeds for the past 26 years straight.
Besides being a popular family pet, the Lab is also used extensively as a service dog for the disabled, and as a working search and rescue dog.
When you combine these two dogs, any of these features in any combination can be prominent.
The Bullador's good looks make it a popular mixed breed dog.
It's easy to fall in love with that sweet face.
But many potential owners have questions about just how big their Labrador Bulldog mix puppy will get when fully grown.
People are also curious about the coat type and possible coat color variations of a Labrador Retriever Bulldog mix.
Let's take a closer look at the physical characteristics of the Bullador and its parent breeds.
The English Bulldog is a thickset, medium sized dog.
Adult males are about 50 pounds and females should be around 40 pounds. They are stout dogs, generally 14-15 inches tall at the withers.
Labrador Retriever males range from 65-80 pounds; females are 55-70 pounds.
A male Lab's height is between 22.5-24.5 inches and a female's is between 21.5-23.5 inches.
They are strongly built and athletic medium sized dogs.
How big is an adult Bulldog Lab mix?
Like all cross-breed dogs, an individual Bulldog Lab mix puppy could end up falling anywhere between the small and large ends of the height and weight scale.
Generally, their weight can range from around 50-80 pounds and they can be between 20-25 inches tall.
The average Bullador will have a muscular, sturdy body, large head, and somewhat jowly face.
Like overall body size, the head size and shape and droopiness of the face can vary from one dog to another.
What type of coat is common in a Bulldog Lab mix?
The Labrador Retriever has a double coat, with a short top coat and a warm undercoat that sheds seasonally.
The Bulldog's coat is short, flat, and smooth.
The Bulldog also sheds, but generally less than the Lab.
Expect your Bulldog Lab mix to have a short, dense coat. Your individual dog's coat may be a bit thicker like a Lab's, or close like a Bulldog's.
As with size, coat type can vary, favoring one parent breed more than the other.
What about coat color and markings? There are three recognized coat colors for the Lab, all solid: black, yellow, and chocolate.
The English Bulldog has a much wider range of coat colors and patterns.
Recognized colors are red, white, fawn, and fallow—in any combination. Markings include brindle, piebald, ticked, masks, and tipping.
Many potential owners are curious about the color possibilities with specific Lab-Bulldog combinations: the black Lab Bulldog mix, the chocolate Lab Bulldog mix, and the yellow Lab Bulldog mix.
Since so many coat color variations are possible with the Bulldog, any Lab Bulldog mix can have more color and pattern possibilities than solid black, yellow, or chocolate.
Bullador coat color can be any shade of brown from dark to light, and also black or white.
Bulldog Lab mix markings can be brindle, brindle with white, and piebald (black or brown with white is common).
Given the friendly and affectionate personalities of both the Lab and the Bulldog, it's no surprise that the Bullador is known for its very good temperament.
Fans of the Bullador praise its loving, loyal, and eager to please personality.
While both parent breeds have many positive personality traits, they do differ in basic temperament, with the Lab being livelier than the calm Bulldog.
Keep in mind that your mixed breed dog could have more of an outgoing Lab temperament, more of a placid Bulldog temperament, or a combination of both.
Good training and socialization are just as important as breeding to an individual dog's overall temperament and behavior.
For the Bulldog Lab mix, this is especially true if your dog has the famous Labrador energy and enthusiasm.
Speaking of Labrador enthusiasm, what do you get when you cross an outgoing Lab with a calm Bulldog?
Will your Lab Bulldog mix be happier accompanying you on a long hike or lying by your side on the living room sofa?
The typical Bulldog will have a much lower energy level than a Lab.
Bulldogs need regular walks and a moderate amount of exercise and play.
Because of their short noses, Bulldogs often have difficulty breathing during exercise in extreme hot or cold weather.
Labs are high-spirited and very active dogs. They enjoy lots of interactive play sessions and outdoor activities, including being in and around the water.
Many active, outdoorsy owners choose Labs to accompany them on adventures.
So, will your Bullador be a couch potato, an explorer, or a combination of both?
The answer depends on the unique characteristics of your dog. If your dog favors its Lab ancestors in physical appearance and energy level, expect an active dog that needs regular exercise.
If your Bullador's head shape, body type, and temperament are closer to the English Bulldog, then moderate exercise may be all that's required.
Remember that the activity of short nosed dogs should be monitored in very cold or hot weather.
The big problem here with a Bulldog Lab mix is you could have a dog with the enthusiasm of the Labrador, but the breathing problems of a Bulldog.
Leading to a very stressed and upset dog, who wants to play more but isn't physically capable.
The most important consideration in the decision to acquire a Bullador is the possible health problems your dog could inherit, especially from the Bulldog side.
When Bulldog Lab mixes inherit one or more of the serious health issues associated with the Bulldog breed, many inexperienced owners are unprepared for the significant amount of time and money that can go into caring for a dog with chronic health problems.
Before looking at the health issues of English Bulldogs, it's also important to remember that Labs can be prone to certain health problems as well.
Common health problems of Labs include centronuclear myopathy (a type of muscular dystrophy), exercise induced collapse, hip and elbow dysplasia, and certain heart and eye diseases.
Even when you take the unique health problems of the Bulldog into account, your Bullador could still inherit conditions common to the Lab, such as dysplasia.
Reputable breeders will test for dysplasia and have the results certified and available for your review.
There are also genetic tests for other serious conditions known to affect Labradors.
Unfortunately, no discussion of Bulldogs or Bulldog mixes would be complete without an honest assessment of the breed's inherited health problems.
What should potential Bullador owners know about the overall health of the English Bulldog?
In 2016, an important genetic study of the Bulldog was published.
Researchers found that the breed has an extreme lack of genetic diversity, due in part to breeders selecting for the desired Bulldog physical traits.
Sadly, many of these characteristic traits cause Bulldogs to suffer from significant health problems.
The researchers concluded that even with drastic changes to Bulldog breeding practices, such as outcrossing with other breeds, the existing Bulldog genetic stock is so unhealthy that there is little chance of improving the health of future generations.
What are the most serious health problems of the English Bulldog? Here's what you need to know.
The number one health concern for the Bulldog is a condition known as brachycephaly.
Short muzzled dogs like Bulldogs and Pugs are brachycephalic, and often suffer from brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS).
Dogs with BOAS have difficulty breathing, especially during exercise and hot weather.
The English Bulldog's craniofacial structure is more extreme than other short muzzled dogs.
The breed also has a very large tongue and palate, as well as a lower jaw that is pushed forward.
All these features combine to produce life-threatening health problems such as sleep apnea, exercise intolerance, gagging, pneumonia, and heatstroke. Brachycephalic syndrome is the leading cause of death in the breed.
The Bulldog's body type leads to many health problems as well.
Chondrodysplasia is an inherited skeletal disorder (like dwarfism in humans) that has been incorporated into short legged breeds like the Bulldog and Dachshund.
Dogs with this condition can suffer from a variety of painful problems like hip and elbow dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, luxating patella, and hemivertebrae.
Hemivertebrae is common in English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, and Pugs.
It is a congenital deformity that creates the desired curled tail of these breeds, but it also causes serious spinal abnormalities.
The vertebrae in dogs with this condition are malformed and/or fused together, causing spinal deformity, pain, and loss of hind leg function.
Bulldogs are prone to chronic skin conditions because of the excessive folds in the skin. Conditions like dermatitis, acne, and folliculitis are common and require regular treatment.
Excessive skin folds on the face can also cause eye problems.
The undershot jaw of the Bulldog can lead to tooth overcrowding and other dental problems.
Bulldogs are more prone to dental health issues than other breeds. Their brachycephaly can make anesthesia risky, an important consideration when a dog needs frequent dental procedures.
Given the serious health problems of the Bulldog, it's not surprising that they are a relatively short-lived breed.
The average life expectancy of the Bulldog is a depressing six years.
And they are not six comfortable years.
Labrador Retrievers have a lifespan of 12 years, quite a bit longer than a Bulldog.
How long can you expect a Bulldog Lab mix to live?
The health of your dog's Bulldog genetic lines can play a large role in determining the answer to this question.
A Bulldog Lab mix that physically takes after it's Lab parent is likely to live longer than one with the breathing problems of the Bulldog.
Should I buy a Bulldog Lab mix?
English Bulldogs and Labrador Retrievers are two beloved dog breeds.
Both are famously endearing and good natured, so it's no surprise that an English Bulldog Labrador mix would be a desired mixed breed dog.
Yes, Bulladors are adorable and sweet natured, but as much as we love the idea of this particular hybrid, it's difficult to recommend it, even for experienced dog owners.
The term "hybrid vigor" is often used for mixed breed dogs, but when one of the breeds used in the cross is a Bulldog, vigorous health is not likely.
Even the most robust Labrador, when crossed with a purebred Bulldog, cannot guarantee a healthy Bulldog Lab mix.
The many genetic conditions that contribute to a Bulldog's unique structure and appearance are also what make it uniquely unhealthy.
The offspring of a Bulldog Lab cross breeding can easily inherit the health problems of the Bulldog.
Sadly, while the Bulldog is a much-loved breed, it is inherently unhealthy.
The structural problems of the Bulldog can be passed down to future generations, even when crossed with the healthiest of Labs.
For this reason, if you are looking for a Lab cross, we recommend going for one that is mixed with a healthier breed.

I have while(true) loop which reads QR Code with camera.I want to pause the loop when read a valid QR Code then do something(insert the value in database) and then continue the loop to read other QR Code. I used break and continue but break go out the loop and continue skip my code which i don't want them.I'm working with C# and SQL server.Thanks in advance

                            }

                        }
              }

A: I think I'm missing something but this should work:
while (true) {
  var data = ReadCode();
  AddToDatabase( data);

  //catch errors
}

A: There is not really a thing such as pausing a while loop. A  loop can not be paused however, a while loop can be broken, you can exit out of the loop. You can put the whole program on sleep which will "pause" the loop, in fact, the entire program. You can also trap the loop in a block when a condition is met which will also "pause" the loop from continuing whatever it has to do and enter that block finish what it has to finish then carry on with the loop again.
In order to trap it you can use a flag and whenever your condition is met you set the flag to true and you check if that flag is true then do the insertion to database or whatever.
And finally at the end of the loop set back the flag to false.
here is a very simple sample code:
bool read = false;
while(true)
{
    //Start reading your QR here or do whatever you want to do; However, make sure that the variable 'read' is set to true when you read the code
    ReadQR();

    //Now check if a code is read
    if(read)
    {
          //Do whatever you want to do here if the code was read such as insertion to database, this technically will pause the loop and finish what's in this block then continue on with the loop, even though I highly recommend breaking your code into methods; for instance don't do the insertion logic here instead put the logic in a method and call it here.

          InsertQRCodeToDb(code);

          //Set the controller variable back to false
          read = false;
    }
}

P.S. out of curiosity why are you casting 1 to int? Also why is your condition (int)1!=0?
Can't you just put your condition such as while(true)?  Or while(1) Wouldn't that be a lot simpler and no casting needed?


opportunities that are driving future strategies.
Understanding what it takes to become a true digital economy player: a level of business transformation and, for telecoms operators, a change in mindset.
Delivering services in a more mobile, social and connected world requires networks that are more flexible, reliable, affordable and intelligent than is possible using traditional approaches.
Telecoms companies are accustomed to selling more of the same – be it messages, minutes or megabytes. The challenge is how to make money from how people use their networks and services.
LTE's evolution to LTE-A and support for VoLTE, licensed and unlicensed spectrum usage and the role of a smart access network layer will drive operator strategies for the next 3 years.
