Q: Bug not allowing users to select the third row for tic tac toe As the title suggest, the bug I am running into is not allowing the first person to select the third row of my Tic Tac Toe grid. It's is behaving like that row does not exist. Perhaps I did something wrong that I do not see or I over complicated it.
Anyway, everything else works as I want it to. This is last thing I want to fix. Also, if you guys have suggestions to make my code better and more efficient please tell me. This is my first year programming.
The code that edits the grid:
#Edit the Tic Tac Toe grid.
def editGrid(grid, selectedRow, selectedColumn, player):
    validRow = 0
    #Determine which player is editing the
    #grid.
    if player == " X ":
        for rows in grid:
            #Determine which row was selected.
            if selectedRow - 1 == validRow:
                #Determine what to do based on the column selected.
                if selectedColumn == 1:
                    #Check to see if a player is in the spot selected.
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn] == " O " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn] == " X ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:
                        rows.insert(selectedColumn, player)
                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 1)
                elif selectedColumn == 2:
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 1] == " O " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 1] == " X ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:
                        rows.insert(selectedColumn + 1, player)
                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 2)
                elif selectedColumn == 3:
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 2] == " O " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 2] == " X ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:
                        rows.insert(selectedColumn + 2, player)
                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 3)
            validRow = grid.index(rows) + 1
    else:
        for rows in grid:
            #Determine which row was selected.
            if selectedRow - 1 == validRow:
                #Determine what to do based on the column selected.
                if selectedColumn == 1:
                    #Check to see if a player is in the spot selected.
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn] == " X " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn] == " O ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:

                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 1)
                elif selectedColumn == 2:
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 1] == " X " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 1] == " O ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:
                        rows.insert(selectedColumn + 1, player)
                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 2)
                elif selectedColumn == 3:
                    if grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 2] == " X " or grid[selectedRow - 1][selectedColumn + 2] == " O ":
                        print("\nA player is already there.")
                    else:
                        rows.insert(selectedColumn + 2, player)
                        rows.pop(selectedColumn + 3)
            validRow = grid.index(rows) + 1

Side Note: I have ran the debugger and for the first time this code runs the variable "validRow" gets reset to 0 but when there is already an " X " on the grid the variable does not get reset to 0. I am genuinely confused as to why this happens.
Here's the problem.
Edit: Here is the rest of the code.

A: You are being tripped up by the index function.  When you call .index(x) on an array, it steps through the array until it finds a value equal to x.  So when you write, inside your for loop:
for rows in grid:
    grid.index(rows)

you won't necessarily get the index of grid that you are currently working with, but rather the first element of grid that's equal in value to rows.  When you have an empty board, all the rows are equal in value - so at that moment grid.index(rows) always returns 0.
There is a good way to fix that, but it involves rethinking how your program is structured.  In general your code is painful to read and the program is much longer and less efficient than it could be.  I strongly recommend posting it to the site CodeReview.stackexchange.com to get help with improving your approach.
Here is the portion of the program starting with if player == " X ".  I have eliminated the for loop entirely and replaced your insert/pop pairs with simple assignment statements.
if player == " X ":
    row = grid[selectedRow-1]
    #Determine what to do based on the column selected.
    if selectedColumn == 1:
        #Check to see if a player is in the spot selected.
        if row[selectedColumn] == " O " or row[selectedColumn] == " X ":
            print("\nA player is already there.")
        else:
            row[selectedColumn] = player
    elif selectedColumn == 2:
        if row[selectedColumn + 1] == " O " or row[selectedColumn + 1] == " X ":
            print("\nA player is already there.")
        else:
            row[selectedColumn+1] = player
    elif selectedColumn == 3:
        if row[selectedColumn + 2] == " O " or row[selectedColumn + 2] == " X ":
            print("\nA player is already there.")
        else:
            row[selectedColumn+2] = player

Der Dalheimer Sommer ist ein mehrwöchiges Theater- und Musikfestival, das seit 1996 in dem ehemaligen Kloster Dalheim im westfälischen Kreis Paderborn veranstaltet wird. Im Monat August finden im zweijährlichen Turnus rund dreizehn Veranstaltungen statt. Auf dem Programm stehen Theater, Konzerte und Lesungen. Veranstalter des Festivals sind die Stiftung Kloster Dalheim und der Verein der Freunde des Klosters Dalheim e.V.

Geschichte
Das Festival Dalheimer Sommer wurde 1996 als Initiative des Vereins der Freunde des Klosters Dalheim e.V. gegründet. Ziel war es, das ehemalige Augustiner-Chorherrenstift – seit 1979 im Besitz des Landschaftsverbandes Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) – als überregionales Kulturzentrum zu etablieren. Das hochkarätige Programm im historischen Ambiente der Klosteranlage garantiert einzigartige Festivalmomente mit dem Flair einer Landpartie.

Das Kloster Dalheim ist seit mehr als 500 Jahren ein Ort der Kultur und insbesondere der Musik. Eine großflächige Wandmalerei im Chor der mittelalterlichen Kirche zeugt bis heute von der Musikliebe der Augustiner-Chorherren. Sie zeigt einen himmlischen Chor aus singenden, Harfe und Orgel spielenden Engeln. Zur Ausstattung der barocken Dalheimer Klosterkirche gehörte eine Springladen-Orgel des westfälischen Orgelbauers Johann Patroclus Möller aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, heute die größte Barockorgel Westfalens. Sie befindet sich seit der Auflösung des Klosters 1803 in der Pfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist (Borgentreich).

Programm
Die Spielzeiten stehen traditionell unter einem Motto, das sich seit 2006 thematisch an das Jahresprogramm des Museumsbetriebs der Stiftung Kloster Dalheim. LWL-Landesmuseum für Klosterkultur anlehnt. 2020 geht die 23. Festivalspielzeit mit dem Titel "Revolution!" sowohl strukturell als auch künstlerisch neue Wege.

Schauspiel
2020 verlagert der Intendant Harald Schwaiger den Fokus auf das zeitgenössische Schauspiel. Gemeinsam mit dem Organisten Christian Drengk bringt er Walter Jens' Schauspiel "Judas" auf die Bühne. Das Ensemble AustroPott präsentiert "Der Gott des Gemetzels" von Yasmina Reza.

Inszeniert wurden in den vergangenen Jahren zum Beispiel Molière/Lullys "Der Bürger als Edelmann" als barocke Oper (2007), Johann Wolfgang von Goethes "Faust – Der Tragödie erster Teil" (2008) oder Hugo von Hofmannsthals "Jedermann" (2011), Gotthold Ephraim Lessings "Nathan der Weise" (2012) oder Friedrich Schillers "Don Karlos" (2015). Die Intendanz legte traditionell Wert auf eine klassische, werktreue Inszenierung, die die fortwährende Aktualität der historischen Werke aufzeigt. Seit Beginn des Festivals bestand eine enge Kooperation mit der Studiobühne der Universität Paderborn, die jährlich einen Teil des Ensembles stellte. Seit der Jubiläumsspielzeit 2016 geht das Festival beim Theater mit außergewöhnlichen Interpretationen von Klassikern unkonventionelle Wege. 2016 präsentierte die Batzdorfer Hofkapelle unter dem Titel "Liebeswahn" eine interaktive Oper mit Werken von Georg Friedrich Händel. Das Holzhausen-Quartett zeigte William Shakespeares "Ein Sommernachtstraum" (2017) und "Viel Lärm um nichts" (2018) als Kammer-Musicals.

Konzerte
Die Konzertreihe des Dalheimer Sommers präsentiert Alte Musik ebenso wie Jazz. 2020 gastieren das Kammerorchester Hannover (Leitung: Hans-Christian Euler) und der Pianist Hinrich Alpers mit Klavierkonzerten von Mozart und Beethoven, das teatro del mondo mit der Sopranistin Sunhae Im, das Ensemble Tremoniae um den Organisten Christian Drengk und die Central Park Band im Kloster Dalheim.

Lesungen
Im Laufe der Zeit erweiterte sich der Anteil der Lesungen am Festivalprogramm. 2020 tragen mit Wolfram Koch und Anna Schudt zwei erstklassige Schauspieler Texte zum Festivalmotto "Revolution" vor. Nico Holonics (Berliner Ensemble) spricht und spielt "Die Blechtrommel" (Günter Grass) mit einer Einführung und unter szenischer Leitung von Oliver Reese (Intendant des Berliner Ensembles).

Intendanz
1996-2016: Dr. Wolfgang Kühnhold

2016-2018: Arno Paduch

ab 2019: Harald Schwaiger

Spielstätten
Als Spielstätten werden historische und neue Räume innerhalb der Klosteranlage genutzt.

Neuer Schafstall
Im Zuge der Säkularisation (1803) wurde das Kloster Dalheim aufgelöst und fortan landwirtschaftlich genutzt. Ein Zeugnis dieses Betriebs ist der 1829 errichtete Neue Schafstall, den der Dalheimer Sommer heute als Spielstätte für Schauspiel, Lesungen und Konzerte nutzt. Direkt am Klosterteich im Tal der Anlage gelegen, ergänzt das rund 65 Meter lange Bauwerk den klösterlichen barocken Wirtschaftshof. Massive Bruchsteinmauern und eine Doppelreihe zwölf hölzerner Säulen prägen bis heute sein Aussehen. In den Sommermonaten wird die Musik- und Theaterscheune für das Festival mit moderner Veranstaltungstechnik ausgerüstet. Der Neue Schafstall bietet Platz für circa 300 Zuschauerplätze.

Klosterkirche
Die spätgotische Dalheimer Klosterkirche stammt aus der Gründungszeit des Klosters Dalheim und wurde von 1460 bis 1470 errichtet: "dem Herrn zum Wohlgefallen", wie es in einer Inschrift am Gebäude heißt. Sie ist seit jeher ein Ort der Musik im (ehemaligen) Kloster Dalheim. Der turmlose, gestreckte Saalbau misst eine Länge von rund 52 Metern und wird durch einen Lettner in Chor und Langhaus geteilt. Im kleineren Chor fanden einst die Augustiner-Chorherren ihren Platz, Laienbrüder und Bedienstete im westlichen Langhaus. Konzerte finden heute überwiegend im Langhaus der Kirche statt. Aufgrund ihrer besonderen Akustik wird die Klosterkirche insbesondere zur Aufführung geistlicher Musik als Ort stimmungsvoller Veranstaltungen genutzt. Die Klosterkirche bietet Raum für circa 240 Plätze.

Deirdre & Carla talk about the upcoming changes headed our way on January 24th in the form of patch 1.1.1, the issues with patch 1.1 on Ilum, and much more.
FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the true fact? This week's fact or fiction talks about camping the opposing faction's base, founder's title and ability delay issues.
CRR is looking for a few writers. Do you have an idea for a weekly column? Would you rather write small articles several times a week? We would love to get a few people to write for us. Some of the topics/columns could be on PVP, RP, New Player Tips & Tricks, short video casts, etc. You get the idea!
You have had a long day at work, but you are looking forward to quitting time because you know it's "raid night" in your favorite game. As you are preparing to leave work, your boss comes in and asks you to research an important topic for tomorrow's staff meeting. That research is going to take you about an hour and cause you to arrive 15 minutes late for your in-game raid event. What do you do?
Go to your guild's website, notify everyone that they will need to replace you because you are working about 15 minutes late. You don't want 15 other people standing around waiting on you.
Go to your guild's website, notify everyone that you will be running 15 minutes late, but secretly hope they will wait on you. If they have to replace you, you aren't happy about it but you know it's the right thing to do.
Go to your guild's website, notify everyone you are running late and ask everyone to wait until you get there. After all, you are the tank! The raid can't succeed without you and if they replace you, there will be hell to pay!
Special thanks to David Bass for helping us to understand the server group forums!


Most applications that use multiple valves, or have multiple control valve functions, can benefit from integrated hydraulics or custom manifold design. Consolidating valves and other components into one compact assembly saves space and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs.
Contact us and find out how Advanced Fluid Systems can help you engineer a better hydraulic circuit with a custom hydraulic manifold design.
Manifold assemblies employing cartridge and subplate mounted valves allow for quick and easy valve replacement by eliminating fluid connections and hard to reach components.
Fewer valve and port connections reduce leaks, hose and tubing costs and maintenance times.
Infinite test port and diagnostic options allow for quick and easy troubleshooting.
Sun Hydraulics' custom manifolds utilize a 5-axis drilling process that eliminates construction plugs, lowers pressure drops and reduces the manifold size and cost.

UK Playstation Mag Interview
The below is an interview I did earlier this year:
Andrew, give us a bit of background about yourself before the days of Naughty Dog. (growing up, interests, coding background)
I grew up in the simultaneously cosmopolitan and suburban area of Northern Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.). I was the right age to catch the first big wave of gaming in the late 70s, early 80s. I played all the arcade classics as they came out and eagerly pestered my dad for an Atari 2600. This was a time when there was tremendous experimentation and creativity going on. New video game genres were invented all the time.
In 1980 my science teacher brought into class a Heathkit H8 her husband built. We were given a single mimeographed sheet of paper with the BASIC commands. I read this and then wrote out longhand a draft of a text-based RPG where you wandered around and fought orcs and trolls for gold and tretchure (I could program, but I couldn't spell). During lunch I typed in and debugged the game, editing my paper copy as needed. It may seem overly ambitious to try and recreate D&D as one's first program, but you have to make what you love.
This was taken just after Jason & I moved to California in 1994
At the age of twelve, I met Jason Rubin in class (we were both bored and loved games). Seeing as I was a great programmer and Jason a great artist (by middle school standards), an instant partnership was formed. We sold our first professionally in 1985 (at fifteen). This partnership continued all the way through school and beyond. Our company, first called JAM Software, was soon renamed to Naughty Dog (1987). We made and published six games before the original Crash Bandicoot.
Since Crash Bandicoot: Warped, the third title in the franchise and Naughty Dog's final main instalment in the series, gamers have felt that Crash Bandicoot has lost its magic. As someone who was there at its creation, how do you think the series could be revitalised?
Crash needs a total reboot. There is an opportunity to reset the history and go back to his creation story and the original conflict with Cortex. In that context, one could reprise classic Crash 1 and 2 settings and villains. At a gameplay level, it would make sense to use a more modern free-roaming style, ala Banjo-Kazooie, but with state of the art graphics. There are very few (almost none) true platform games being made today and it's a shame, as the mechanics were really fun. I would concentrate on Loony Tunes style animation and really addictive action oriented gameplay. That's what we did with the original Crash and there is no reason it couldn't be done today — but it would look every bit as good as early Pixar cartoons.
Given the current Crash games, people forget that he was once cool. Our Crash had a certain whimsical edge to him. Sure it was goofy, but it wasn't dumb. Crash has a deliberate touch of post-modernity, not unlike other cult favorites like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's thematically very different, but the same kind of self-referential meta-cultural quality is there.
What do you make of Crash Bandicoot today? Are you sad that he's gone from PlayStation Icon to yesterday's mascot? (Maybe also talk about your opinion of non-Naughty Dog Crash endeavours, did they fail?)
I don't pay much attention to recent Crash games. For me, He's like the hot high school girlfriend who put on 50 pounds. I just can't look.
Post Naughty Dog Crash games fall down not only in being too goofy, but in gameplay and balance. We tried very hard to make every level and every segment of every level evenly paced, addictive, and engaging. Every pile of boxes, every set of enemies, was carefully placed to try and build a rhythmic pulse to the gameplay. Crash was about being frantic, but at the same time relatively free of frustration (although some Crash 1 levels were too hard). There was a lot of layered depth so that you could merely finish the level, or you could try to maximize your performance in terms of collection, speed, or both.
The latest game in the Jak series was the PSP spin-off Daxter in 2006, which was developed by Ready at Dawn. Do you think the Jak series should be resuscitated, or is it best left in the past? (perhaps speak about what it had going for it, how you feel the series progressed in terms of quality, if it needs to be brought back)
There is a lot of opportunity in the Jak franchise as well, but fortunately for the little orange back-talker, Naughty Dog (aka Sony) still owns the rights. Who knows, he might surface again.
What was it about Sony and Playstation that made you feel that it was the perfect brand for Naughty Dog to partner up with? (relationship with Sony over the years, why you felt it wouldn't harm Naughty Dog's future)
In 1994 when we started, Sony didn't have a mascot character. So we set about creating one on the theory that maybe, just maybe, we might be able to slide into that opening. I'm still surprised it worked.
Ultimately the relationship with Sony was a really great partnership. Sony is a quality driven company, and we were a quality driven studio. Naughty Dog products are fully commercial in the spirit of early 80s George Lucas and Steven Spielberg efforts. We believed in mass market pulp that through sheer quality rose above its commercial pulp sentiment. This jived well with Sony's culture, which was driven to high quality products with the broadest appeal.
In 2004 both Jason Rubin and yourself left Naughty Dog. Considering the company was, and still is, producing high quality games, why did you leave? (perhaps talk about your time at ND, memories of working on certain games, where you think you brought the company, what state you feel you left it at, and where it is now)
This is complex. At the simplest level, when Jason and I sold Naughty Dog to Sony, the deal structured the working relationship for the next four years. Highly unusually, this actually played out according to plan and to the total satisfaction of both parties. We intended to make threes games, and we did: Jak 1, 2, and 3. In addition, by 2004, Jak X and Uncharted were well underway.
As the company grew, Jason and I groomed senior guys who were capable of running the teams. Namely, Evan Wells, Stephen White, and Christophe Balestra. By Jak 3, Evan was the game director anyway, so it was time for them to fly by themselves. And fly they did, as the post Andy & Jason Naughty Dog games are probably even better.
The two biggest Naughty Dog Ips since your leaving would have to be the Uncharted series and the upcoming title The Last of Us. As someone who is now on the outside looking in, how do you view both of these franchises? (Do they keep in line with what you hoped ND would achieve? Do you wish you were still working at ND in order to help develop these kinds of titles?)
Uncharted is in every way a Naughty Dog series. It follows from, and improves upon, the things we were working on with Crash and Jak, taking them to the next level. Evan was an instrumental co-creator of all the Naughty Dog games since Warped, and he was both steeped in and a major contributor to the games from 1998 on. He and the rest of the gang kept heading in the same direction, they just raised the bar on execution even further.
For a long time, Naughty Dog games have been about integrating narrative and gameplay. We wanted to draw people into the world fully and give them a rich story without detracting from a game's most important quality: fun gameplay. Uncharted took this to the next level with storytelling that's better than a lot of movies, while retaining intense playability.
Now I'm also really excited for The Last of Us, as apocalypses and teen girls who fight are two of my favorite things (in fiction).
With talk of the PS4 on the horizon, what do you think Naughty Dog is capable of on next-generation systems? (technically, narratively)
I think NDI will just keep taking it to the next level. Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us already look so good it's hard to imagine where there is to go, but I expect not only will things look even more real, but the machines will have the power to include more and more enemies (or whatnot) on screen. We could see zombie games with a couple hundred zombies (not necessarily from NDI).
Finally, tell us about Flektor and your new passion for writing novels, Andrew. (also, perhaps mention how/if working in the games industry fuelled or influenced your passion for writing)
As a serial creator it was interesting how similar writing a novel was to making a game. Video games and writing are both very iterative and detail oriented. They use a lot of the same mental muscles. My latest novel, Untimed, is about a boy name Charlie, who falls through holes in time. A clockwork man is trying to kill him, but there's an eighteenth century Scottish girl who can bring him back home – assuming they don't destroy history by accidentally letting Ben Franklin get killed.
Untimed (http://untimed-novel.com) is very much in the same broad fun spirit that characterized Crash and other Naughty Dog games. I return to one of my favorite mechanics, time travel, which I forced into Crash 3 and Jak 2 (no one complained). Creating the world was very similar to what you do with a game. I had to balance the pros and cons of time travel for my heroes. If your characters are too powerful, there is no jeopardy. So I had to invent all the restrictions and deal with the issues of paradox. In many ways, this is like balancing a video game control set. There are differences of course: games are about fun, and novels are about character and dramatic tension, but the fundamental creative process is similar.

The market value of telecom services in 2017 will be 326 billion Euros and 297 billion Euros in North America and Europe respectively, as reported by online statistics portal Statista. This influential industry continues to expand with the addition of new technological trends.
Statista also predicted that smartphone users across the world will reach 2659.4 million by 2019. Therefore, the companies from telecom sector need to apply a combination of right people and management techniques to capture the market in future. This domain also needs outside support in the form of outsourcing services to improve the operations.
Telecom companies are always in a quest of firm that can offer billing software with numerous advanced features. Usually, customization as per the unique business requirements and ability to support both prepaid and postpaid services is the criteria for choosing the billing software.
Telecom industry is one of the biggest domains that need premium customer support in order to maintain loyalty of customers. This service is usually outsourced due to cost-effectiveness and access to proficient support agents.
This service requires the blend of software support and skilled manpower. It is usually utilized to decrease the number of lost phones during shipping.
Let's analyze different factors that help telecom companies in choosing outsourcing vendors.
Whether it's a billing solution provider or customer support vendor, every firm needs to evolve with changing time. If the services provider does not modify itself, it will reach a stagnant stage. As a result, its quality of the services will degrade with time, which will directly impact your business.
Let's take an example. A vendor 'ABC' was offering subscriber verification services to various telecom companies. After June 2012, the regulations associated with lifeline scheme in the U.S. became more stringent. Therefore, the telecom companies needed to verify the eligibility of applicants through multiple parameters. But the vendor 'ABC' was unable to meet the requirements as per the new regulations, which affected the business of its clients. Therefore, it is always wise to select a vendor that can adapt as per the changing times.
Telecom subscribers can ask a query through any medium. For example, a high school student using a cellphone will prefer social media sites to post a query/complaint. On the other hand, baby boomers will rely on phone call support to get their issues resolved. Some customers will even use more than one channel to connect with the telecom brand. Therefore, companies need to choose a vendor that offers support through every channel. That's not all! Outsourcing vendor must be able to integrate all the channels so that tracking of customer satisfaction level becomes easy.
Self-service is another dimension of customer support, which is appreciated by customers. In fact, the report known as Global State of Multichannel Customer Service stated that 90 percent of customers expect the brand to provide a portal for self-service support, as of 2015. Customers also prefer using this medium for tracking their billing information by entering details into their online account. This reflects the importance of self-service in both customer support and billing system.
It is said an expert partner has the capability to turn your dream into reality. This is at least true in the case of outsourcing vendors that provide billing solution or customer support to telecom sector.
Billing solution firm can only provide advanced software if it understands the challenges of telecom companies from every dimension. And to analyze their problems, the billing solution company must have expert knowledge related to telecom industry. The company must also be creative enough to design the software that matches all the current and future needs of telecom sector.
This factor is also applicable for call center outsourcing vendors. First of all, the customer support solution provider must have years of experience in handling different types of customer. You should also ensure that service provider has handled multiple projects from telecom sector successfully in the past.
We have discussed above how the ability to evolve is the key factor while choosing a service provider. Data analytics is one such practice by service providers, which is the result of evolution. Several contact centers implement this technique to identify different types of users. It has helped the vendors to offer effective solution based on the type of customer that contacts the company. The analytics can be utilized to track the detailed sales reports.
The telecom companies can also use analytics by taking support of contact centers to promote their services to a specific set of telecom users. This will drastically increase the response rate related to marketing campaign making it more economical. Therefore, the service providers that use data analytics in their operations deserve higher consideration as compared to those which operate without them.
By choosing the appropriate vendor, you will be able to streamline your processes and also satisfy your target customers. These benefits will ultimately pave the way to transform your telecom company into trusted and popular brand.

The website seems that the company provides a wide range of services. They have hired the best experts to do the students assignment. Are all the facts are really true? Do you think so? The AssignmentHelp4Me Review of my friends on other web pages sound different from the information given on the websites. Everyone worried about the quality of assignments, the timely submission as well as the problem to complete all the requirement of the assignments. I have searched many websites because being a student's I know how it is difficult to trust any websites. One of my engineering friend '' Joseph'' wants to share the personal experience of this company. Although he is not interested to do the assignment from any writing service due to some emergency he was bound to use this service.
As per the website the company hired the high qualified writers with years of experience in this field. As per the AssignmentHelp4Me Reviews and my friend Joseph told me that the writers have no experience and all the information on the website is fake. As the Joseph submitted all the requirements with approaches to proceed that assignment. The deadline was 2 days but after one day passed when it was closed to the submission time. One of the girls from the customer support wants more word count to complete the assignment. It was that situation where I can't do anything as my deadline is about to close. After confirming more words efforts. The writer failed to follow all the approaches and did a very terrible assignment which was beyond my expectation. Maybe they have experienced only in basic assignment writing skill but the writers are not highly qualified or experienced in higher qualification..
The quality they provided to my friend is very poor as he got only passing marks. As per the review's analysis ''https://australianreviewer.com/assignment-help-4-me-review/ '' you come to know how poor quality they are offering to their students. I have analyzed after receiving my solution from them. Which was rubbish but I have no choice because my deadline is closed and anyhow I have to submit my assignment in the given time. The expert submitted my assignment delayed by 1days more. So I have no choice to do rework and editing which was a very unprofessional way to deal with the assignment. As per the reviews of web pages the expert always had done a lot of grammatical errors..
My friend has booked my assignment with no discount as he was in a hurry. But after analyzing the reviews I get to know that the company avails the discount after you have discussed on chat for the same. It is not the right way. The price is a little bit high in the deadline factor. I also know that the price depends on a number of factors like complexity, assignment types, requirements, and deadlines. But this company display the high price as compared to any other websites.
One thing that I found good is the Refund Policy. The company mentioned the details of refund policy on the website but when my friends demanded money back they give excuses and refused to refund the money. This is not a professional way to deal with the students.
I would like to suggest that for every student's career matters a lot. No one has a right to ruin your career. Think once before utilizing this service.


Spy photos from Trucks.com are out on a possible 2020 Toyota Tundra spied driving around their technical facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is expected to make its debut at the upcoming 2019 Chicago Auto Show.
The full-size Toyota Tundra has been the automaker's largest truck offering for years growing from the T-100 into its current size. While battling the Big 3, it has stayed at a near constant 10k vehicles a month sold while sharing space at the San Antonio, Texas plant with the Toyota Tacoma. Now with expanded plant capacity on the horizon, it looks like Toyota is ramping up to catch up with the competition.
The spy photos show a new front-end and box design is likely while the current generation cabin looks to be a carryover.
On the front, we can see what appears to be a new design and a new design for the headlamps probably with new LEDs and DRL design. Also, there could be new design lines on the fenders.
For the rear, the entire box is covered leading one to believe there are changes on its design and maybe even the material used. The Toyota Tacoma has used a composite, plastic bed for years to cut down on weight and the Tundra might be joining suit.
There is also question on what's going on underneath the box. A lot of attention seems to be paid to hiding the rear-axle leading some speculation of an independent-rear suspension or a coil-link suspension getting rid of the solid axle. This type of change would improve ride quality and drop weight.
Speaking of dropping weight, the Tundra has been one of the heaviest half-ton trucks on the market for sometime. The new design could be more about dropping weight as well as the rear axle to help it achieve a rumored target of 30 MPG highway.
They will likely need the help of a hybrid engine from Lexus and at least an 8-speed transmission to get there. Although, a turbo-charged V6 with enough weight loss might be able to do the same thing. Some people are holding off hope for a diesel variant, but this is hard to see with Toyota's past negative view on diesels.
Our speculation is we will see this at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show coming up in the first full week of February. Until then, we can only look at the pictures and speculate.
The fuel mileage for a 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid that weighs about 4800 lbs is 30/28 city/hwy. So, unless Toyota can drastically redesign the full size Tundra, a full frame truck, and still achieve 10K towing, the 30 MPG is nothing but wishful thinking.
Probably wishful thinking. It is just what I'm hearing. Can't wait to see what it actually comes out like.
Long time no talk. Maybe after all these years of double or nothing 6 packs on a significantly redesigned tundra this will be the one finally.
I think 2021 is more like the new truck release and nothing will be at the Chicago auto show this year.
I sure hope we still have a large V8 option.
Hey, sorry I've been traveling. Yeah, I'm less inclined to think the new Tundra will be at Chicago. Still hopeful.
I did a long interview with chief Mike Sweers. Keep an eye out for that coming soon.
I think the Tundra's towing capacity needs to be drastically increased. Also, there needs to be a v8 diesel version and even possibly a dually version. As of the exterior, Tundra needs to add some new colors, like green. The interior needs to be modernized, including a larger touch-screen.

Boston Red Sox name Eduardo Rodriguez as Opening Day starter: 'He's one of the best out there,' Alex Cora says
FT. MYERS, FL - MARCH 5: Eduardo Rodriguez #57 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during the first inning of a Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays on March 5, 2021 at jetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida.

By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
It's official. Eduardo Rodriguez will be the Red Sox' Opening Day starter against the Orioles on April 1.
Manager Alex Cora made the announcement after Rodriguez, making his third spring start, allowed just one run and struck out six batters in five innings in a 9-1 win over the Twins. Rodriguez, who missed the entire 2020 season due to myocarditis (heart inflammation), now owns a 2.31 ERA (three runs in 11 ⅔ innings) while striking out 14 batters and issuing zero walks in Grapefruit League play.
"He's one of the best out there," Cora said. "He had a great season in '19. Last year, he wasn't able to pitch, for obvious reasons. What he has shown, now that he's healthy, he's ready to go."
Cora, who was out of baseball last year after being suspended for his role in the Astros' cheating scandal, said he planned on making Rodriguez his Opening Day starter last April before he left the team in January. Former manager Ron Roenicke had also said he planned to have Rodriguez start the opener before the lefty contracted a severe case of COVID-19 that led to the heart problem.
A year later than anticipated, Rodriguez will get his shot. He'll be the seventh different Opening Day starter for the Red Sox in the last eight years and the 12th since 2000.
"If I got the opportunity, I'm going to be so happy to do it because that's something everybody wants to do one time in their career," Rodriguez said hours before Cora broke the news. "If I had the opportunity to do it this year, I'm going to really appreciate and love it. Being the first pitcher for us, I'm going to be so happy with it."
Entering camp, Cora said, he knew Rodriguez would almost certainly get the ball against the Orioles to start the season but wanted to make sure the lefty was fully recovered from the heart condition that held him out in 2020. Three strong starts later, Cora was ready to make things official with just over two weeks to go before the opener.
"It's not fair to tell him, 'Hey, you're going to be the guy' and then all of the sudden he can't go three, four or five (innings)," Cora said. "But that was really good today. He's so sharp right now I wish his next start was April 1."
For Rodriguez, the journey to staff ace has not always been a linear one. A top prospect acquired from the Orioles for Andrew Miller in July 2014, Rodriguez showed flashes of brilliance in his first few big-league seasons but struggled with injury and inconsistency as recently as 2018. In 2019 -- after Cora publicly slammed him for being non-competitive in a spring outing against the Mets -- Rodriguez took a major leap forward, finishing sixth in the American League Cy Young award voting after posting a 3.81 ERA in 203 ⅓ innings.
Wednesday's announcement made Cora think back to two years ago, when he showered Rodriguez with tough love after that outing in Port St. Lucie.
"The next time he threw a bullpen, he didn't even want to talk to me because I was hard on him with the media," Cora said. "I said it and he took it personally. He understands. He understands I'm going to push him. That's what I'm here for. That's my job."
Two years later, Cora has seen Rodriguez mature significantly, having taken cues from veteran starters like Chris Sale, Nathan Eovaldi and the now-departed David Price and Rick Porcello.
"I'm not surprised because he puts in the work," Cora said. "He's mature. He always listened to his big brothers in '18 and '19 and those guys have a lot to do with what's going on."
Rodriguez entered camp as one of Boston's major question marks due to the unprecedented nature of his condition but has hit every checkpoint and performed as well as the club could have expected thus far. He'll have two more starts before the regular season opens.
"He's fresh, arm-wise," Cora said. "We always talk about the possible negative things that can happen because he didn't pitch. Well, maybe there's a few positives, right? He's not coming from an arm injury. He wasn't able to pitch for health reasons. He had a great off-season, a clean one. He was able to work out and do everything as expected. He was on point as far as his throwing program and he's showing some progress making strikes.
"Right now, he has everything on point," Cora said. "We're very happy he's able to compete and I'm proud he'll be the guy on Opening Day."

One of two significant American motorcycle producers to endure the Good Depression (along with Indian), the organization has survived numerous possession agreements, subsidiary measures (e.g., Aermacchi 1974-1978 and Buell 1987-2009), intervals of poor financial health and item quality, as well as intense international competition, to become among the world's greatest bike suppliers and an renowned company commonly noted for its devoted following. You will find owner groups and events worldwide in addition to a company-sponsored brand-focused museum.
Noted for a design of customization that offered increase to the chopper motorcycle Harley-davidson License Plate Frame design, Harley-Davidson typically advertised heavyweight, air-cooled cruiser motorcycles with motor displacements greater than 700 cm³ and has broadened their products to incorporate its more recent VRSC (2002) and middle-weight Block (2015) platforms.
Harley-Davidson makes their motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri (closing); Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India. Structure of a new plant in Thailand is scheduled to start in late 2018. The business areas their products and services worldwide.
Besides motorcycles, the company permits and areas product underneath the Harley-Davidson model, among them clothing, house decoration and ornaments, extras, toys, and scale results of their cycles, and video games centered on Harley Davidson Logo Images its motorcycle point and the community.
Harley-Davidson's association with sportbike manufacturer Buell Motorcycle Organization began in 1987 once they provided Buell with fifty surplus XR1000 engines. Buell continued to purchase motors from Harley-Davidson until 1993, when Harley-Davidson ordered 49 % of the Buell Bike Company. Harley-Davidson increased its share in Buell to ninety-eight per cent in 1998, and to complete possession in 2003.
In an attempt to entice beginners to motorcycling in general and to Harley-Davidson particularly, Buell developed a low-cost, low-maintenance motorcycle. The resulting single-cylinder Buell Boost was introduced in 2000, and was made through 2009, which, Motorcycle Cover Waterproof Xxl based on Buell, was to be the last year of production. The Buell Boost was working out car for the Harley-Davidson Rider's Side New Rider Program from 2000 until Might 2014, when the company re-branded the training academy and started utilizing the Harley-Davidson Road 500 motorcycles. In these 14 years, more than 350,000 players in the class discovered to journey on the Buell Blast.
On April 15, 2009, Harley-Davidson Inc. released an official record so it would be discontinuing the Buell point and ceasing generation immediately. The said purpose was to target on the Harley-Davidson brand. The organization declined to think about selling Buell. Founder Motorcycle Trader Atlanta Erik Buell consequently recognized Erik Buell Race and continued to manufacture and build their 1125RR racing motorcycle.
The traditional Harley-Davidson engines are V-twin motors, with a 45° perspective between the cylinders. The crankshaft has a simple green, and equally pistons are related to this green through their linking rods.
That 45° perspective is covered below a few United Claims patents and is a design tradeoff that enables a sizable, high-torque motor in a comparatively small space. It triggers the cylinders to fireplace at irregular periods and creates the uneven "potato-potato" noise therefore strongly associated with the Harley-Davidson brand.
simplify the engine and reduce expenses, the V-twin ignition was designed to use with an individual pair of points and number distributor. This is recognized as a double fire ignition program, creating both spark plugs to fire regardless which tube was on their retention stroke, with the other ignite connect firing on its cylinder's exhaust stroke, effortlessly "wasting an interest ".The fatigue notice is actually a throaty barking noise with some popping. The 45° design of the motor ergo produces a select shooting sequencing therefore: The very first tube fires, the 2nd (rear) cylinder shoots 315° later, then there is a 405° space until Motorcycle Gloves Wiper Blade the first tube fires again, providing the engine their special sound.
Harley-Davidson has applied various ignition systems through the duration of its record – be it the early details and condenser system, (Big Twin as much as 1978 and Sportsters as much as 1978), magneto ignition system applied to some 1958 to 1969 Sportsters, early electric with centrifugal technical improve weights, (all types 1978 and a half to 1979), or the late electric with transistorized ignition get a grip on module, more familiarly known as the dark package or mental performance, (all designs 1980 to present).
Starting in 1995, the organization introduced Digital Gas Shot (EFI) Motorcycle Insurance Quotes Online being an option for the 30th wedding edition Electra Glide. EFI turned standard on all Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including Sportsters, upon the release of the 2007 product line.
Sound". That research resulted in the bikes which were presented in conformity with EU standards for 1998.
On Feb 1, 1994, the company submitted a sound logo program for the exclusive noise of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine: "The level consists of the exhaust sound of applicant's motorcycles, produced by V-twin, common crankpin motorcycle motors once the things come in use ".Seven of Harley-Davidson's rivals submitted remarks opposing the application form, fighting that cruiser-style cycles of various brands work with a single-crankpin V-twin engine which make a similar sound. These questions were followed by litigation. In July 2000, the company dropped attempts to federally register their trademark.

Below I have created a list (and links) to my favorite dips, sauces and spreads. So go ahead, dip in and enhance your meals with these simple recipes. The best news of all… every single one of these recipes is vegan and gluten free for those who have any dietary restrictions!
1. Pesto. My husband and I are obsessed with pesto. It is not an exaggeration when I say that we put it on everything! Bread, eggs, sauteed veggies, pasta, salad dressings, pizza, etc. I usually just whip up some of this homemade pesto once a week and let it sit in the fridge for us to find the lucky item to put it on. It is oh-so good and fresh.
2. Hummus. I put pesto on pretty much everything and I put hummus on almost everything. I love to add a heaping spoonful to a salad, use as a spread for a sandwich and of course have with veggies or crackers when I need an afternoon pick me up.
4. Fresh Basil Vinaigrette. This truly makes any salad spectacular. I have served it before just over mixed greens, arugula and topped with either pepitas or whatever other nut I may have on hand. Once again, make ahead and use all week long.
5. Peanut Sauce. YUM! I love peanut sauce. I use this for my spring rolls, my tofu satay and it can also be used as a salad dressing like I did in my panzanella.
6. Pea and Mint Dip. This is a nice alternative to hummus when it's hot out because this is so crisp and refreshing with the combo of fresh peas and mint. Also good for those who might not do so well with beans. Use the same way you use hummus.
Chels, did you take these pics?? If so, bravo!

Red Alert: Indian Mujaheddin and Pan Islamic Jihadis want to kill a Hindu Modi.
Hindus must take arms against Jihadis.
Hindus accept this challenge and will proceed 1:3 basis, if any touch comes to the Hindu icon Narendra Modi further.
From India's jihadis, a message for Modi.
The inside story of the tailor's son who tried to assassinate the tea-stall boy-turned-Prime Minister
Cadre of Indian Mujaheddin breakaway faction Ansar-ul-Tauheed—the Army of the One God— at al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan's North Waziristan.
Praveen Swami | The Hindu | 22 May 2014:: He'd stood before the prayer congregation at the mosque in the village of Bairia one Friday afternoon in the summer of 2006, and called on the worshippers to prepare for war. The man responsible for the communal carnage in Gujarat, the slightly-built teenager warned, was growing in power. India's Muslims, he went on, must prepare for an onslaught that would lead to their annihilation. Local elders, alarmed by the polemic, brought the speech to a quick end. For a few hours, local police records show, communal tension flared — and ebbed.
Haider Ali —'Black Beauty' to his friends, who teased him for his dark complexion — never returned to his village. Through Wednesday, though, Bairia residents will have Ali's image on television, in the hours following his arrest for bombing Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi's October 27 rally in Patna, the culmination of at least three assassination attempts.
Ali's arrest is a breakthrough for India's intelligence services — but no reason to exult. In videotapes obtained by The Hindu, cadre of the Indian Mujahideen breakaway faction Ansar-ul-Tauheed — the Army of the One God — can be seen training at al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan's North Waziristan. In internet chat room discussions, and Islamist discussion groups, Mr. Modi's rise is being used to make renewed calls to prepare for jihad.
The making of an assassin:
Ali's journey, as investigation records tell is, is curiously similar to the railway platform-to-Race Course Road rise of the man he gave his life to trying to kill. Born to Muhammad Alam Ansari on August 21, 1988, Ali grew up in poverty. His father, a polio victim who worked as a roadside tailor, made Rs. 50 or so on a good day — and on the others, the family didn't eat. Then, when Ali was in the tenth grade, his father left his family, and moved to Doranda, across the border in Jharkhand. The reasons for the separation are unclear.
In spite of his harsh circumstances, Ali demonstrated grit. He matriculated from Bairia's high school, and, funded by his maternal grandmother, gained admission to the Doranda Degree College. His grades weren't stellar, but good enough to gain admission to the Masters programme in psychology at Ranchi University.
Like hundreds of thousands of other upwardly-mobile young people in Bihar, Ali could have headed into the private sector, or competed for a government job. He turned, instead, to Islamist politics — joining the far-right jihadist faction of the Students Islamic Movement of India led by Safdar Nagori.
From Mr. Ansari's account, there's some reason to think economic hardship might have had something to do with his son's rage against society. The last time Mr. Ansari saw his son was in 2010-11, when his landlord asked him to vacate the premises after he failed to pay the rent. Furious, Ali left home. "He returned once a few days later," Mr. Ansari later told The Hindu, "and asked me to shift the shop to this place in Hathitola. I resisted but he threatened saying that he will throw away all things in my shop if I did not move to this new location. He did not return home after that."
It's also likely clear a man from Mumbai had something to do his rage. In March 2001, a young network engineer called Abdul Subhan Qureshi left his job at computer major Datamatics in Mumbai, saying in his resignation letter that he wanted "devote one complete year to pursue religious and spiritual matters". Qureshi — a graduate of the upmarket Antonio DeSouza High School and the Bharatiya Vidyapeeth, and a star performer in his last job with Wipro — was joining SIMI full-time.
Qureshi played a key role in building SIMI's underground networks in Bihar after it was proscribed following 9/11 — acting as mentor to Manzar Imam and Faisal Khan, who in turn are alleged to have recruited Mr. Ali. He drifted away from SIMI in coming years, frustrated by its unwillingness to act on its own jihadist polemic, and co-founded the Indian Mujahideen.
In 2008, Qureshi hid out with the group in Ranchi, after a nationwide police crackdown led to the dozens of Indian Mujahideen operatives. The group would shelter a number of key Indian Mujahideen fugitives in coming years — the most important of them Muhammad Ahmad Zarar Siddibapa, also known as Yasin Bhatkal.
Provocation against Hindus in India. Ansar ut Tawheed marches " Kandahar Se Dehli Ki Taraf ":
For the attack on Mr. Modi, Ali is alleged to have relied on close friends — key among them, Mujibullah Ansari, also arrested on Wednesday. The son of a retired laboratory technician at Ranchi's Apollo Hospital, Ansari also had a good academic record: armed with a Bachelors degree in commerce from the SS Memorial College in Ranchi, his family hoped he would go on to secure a well-paid private-sector job. Ansari's main passion, though, was politics. In 2009-2010 served as sadr in the local Students Islamic Organisation — the youth wing of the Jama'at-e-Islami — but drifted slowly towards the jihadists of SIMI.
Siddibapa, the NIA alleges, used his time in Ranchi to try to recruit the SIMI cell to the Indian Mujahideen's cause — but failed. The group said they disagreed on a matter of principle: Nagori had long argued for the building-up of a disciplined Islamist insurgency, not acts of terror against civilians.
The group didn't mention, though, that they had plans of their own. In April, 2013, the NIA alleges, Ansari hired a room at the Iram Lodge, in Ranchi's Hindipiri area, which would serve as a hub for the group. Inside, the group built the bombs used to target the Bodh Gaya mosque, and then Mr. Modi's rally.
India's intelligence services believe the arrests mark the destruction of the last jihadist cell known to be active—but are also painfully evident others have cropped up. Islamist groups in southern India are being investigated for the bombing of a Chennai-Bangalore train last month, and Tamil Nadu college students are known to be training with jihadists in Syria. Former Indian Mujahideen operatives Mirza Shadab Beg, Shahnawaz Alam, Muhammad "Bada" Sajid, Alamzeb Afridi,, Shafi Armar and Sultan Armar are known to be training in Pakistan, with their new organisation — and will, more likely than not, return home one day to wage war in their homelands.
"The Muslims of India are not powerless," the Ansar-ul-Tauheed videotape featuring the group warns. "Their warriors are advancing towards you from Afghanistan, the blessed land of the one true faith. The same way we delivered carnage to you in times past, we will do so again".
It is a threat India should take seriously.

The Curse of Sherlock Holmes : The Basil Rathbone Story
Author(s): Clayton, David,
Pagination: 192 pages, 16 Illustrations, black and white,
Imprint: The History Press Ltd,
Published By: The History Press Ltd,
Book Classification: Biography: arts & entertainment
Basil Rathbone is synonymous with Sherlock Holmes. He played the Victorian sleuth in the fourteen Fox/Universal films of the 1930s and '40s, as well as on stage and radio. For many people, he is the Holmes.
Basil Rathbone grew to hate Sherlock Holmes. The character placed restrictions on his career: before Holmes he was an esteemed theatre actor, appearing in Broadway plays such as The Captive and The Swan, the latter of which became his launchpad to greater stardom. But he never, ever escaped his most famous role.
Basil Rathbone was not Sherlock Holmes. In The Curse of Sherlock Holmes, celebrated biographer David Clayton looks at the behind-the-camera life of a remarkable man who deserved so much more than to be relegated to just one role.

Also, I'm auctioning an illustration portfolio review to support the We Need Diverse Books organization.

The IELTS and PTE exams are not similar but yes these both tests are designed for language proficiency. International English Language Testing Standard (IELTS) is an English language test which is jointly conducted by the British Council, Cambridge English Language Assessment and IDP education. The IELTS test was established in 1989 to test and certify the language of the non-native English speakers. Students who want to understand the pattern of IELTS exam should join the IELTS institute.
Pearson Test of English (PTE) was launched in 2009 by an educational company Pearson. It is also an English language and it is conducted in association with Edexcel and it is the largest examining body of the UK. Students who want to understand the pattern of the PTE exam should join the PTE institute.
Both IELTS and PTE include 2 common versions which are Academic and General training. The Academic is for those people who want to pursue higher education and people who want to have a work permit and PR can opt for General Training. But PTE also offers you one more additional version such as Young Learners Test. Young learner's test is designed to check the language proficiency of children.
These both exams include four modules Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. These all the modules are the same for both exam types.
The structure of both the exams is similar for example, these both have the same sections. These exams include Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. But the content and pattern of both the exams are different from each other. PTE is basically a computer-based exam whereas IELTS is an offline exam. In PTE you have to write all the answers on the screen and speaking is also performed with the system. But in IELTS an examiner take your speaking test.
IELTS exam is conducted in more than 130 countries in around 900 centers which are spread over the world and they have 48 pre-fixed dates. The General Test is available in a year on 24 fixed days. PTE test center is located in more than 50 countries and then be taken on any date according to the availability of the seat. PTE test center in India is in more than 15 cities.


European stocks broke a three-day losing streak on Tuesday, building on gains in other markets boosted by signs of a global economic recovery and rising commodity prices.
Gains for heavyweight miners boosted European shares after strong commodities prices steadied Asian markets earlier in the session.
London copper CMCU3 rose to a three-year high while zinc CMZN3 held close to its highest level in a decade and nickel CMNI3, which is used in stainless steel, logged a fresh annual peak.
"Commodity prices are holding firm, particularly base metals," said Sue Trinh, FX strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
She cautioned that commodities have mostly firmed "on speculative Chinese investment flow from the wealth management industry, so we question the real demand."
The surge in European stocks pushed up the MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS, which tracks shares in 46 countries, which is now up 0.1 percent on the day, its second day of gains after sharp falls last week. The broad index of European stocks was up 0.4 percent on the day.
The performance comes on the back of strong sentiment towards Europe that saw the euro record its biggest one-day gain in a month on Monday.
Though the single currency dipped slightly on Tuesday, it is still around the $1.18 mark which analysts believe might prompt policymakers to consider action.
A strong euro reduces import prices and therefore keeps inflation lower in the bloc, making it harder for the ECB to withdraw stimulus measures put in place after the debt crises of 2010-2012. The ECB's key target is to boost inflation to "just below 2 percent".
Commerzbank analysts believe European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi will not be able to ignore the issue as he prepares to speak at Thursday's conference of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
"Even if Draghi does not even want to suggest a verbal intervention against euro strength, he cannot come across as completely carefree regarding the euro either," Commerzbank analyst Esther Reichelt said.
"I therefore consider levels beyond (Monday's) high of $1.1910 to be extremely risky ahead of Jackson Hole," she said.
The dollar has recently faced selling pressure from tepid U.S. inflation data which have fed into expectations the Federal Reserve will adopt a patient approach to further monetary tightening.
Political turmoil in Washington has also hampered the greenback as investors have begun to doubt President Donald Trump's ability to implement much of his aggressive stimulus and tax reform measures.
Brent crude futures LCOc1 added 34 cents to $52 per barrel.


This Fourth Edition of Drywall offers the very latest information with the familiar easy-to-use format that made the first three editions such great successes!
This revised version of Drywall gives readers information on new tools and materials and techniques that author Myron Ferguson has field-tested since the last revision in 2008. For the first time the book also includes a bound-in DVD with tips and techniques for hassle-free drywall installation.
Drywalling looks easy, but anyone who has tried it knows that it is physically demanding and that one needs a knowledge of many finishing touches and tricks-of-the-trade to ensure a good job. In this revision of a 1996 title, Myron Ferguson, a drywall hanger with 20 years' experience, shares his hard-won knowledge with readers.
The most commonly used drywall techniques are covered step by step, and there are additional sections on various types of drywall, tools, and decorative effects. A great deal of attention is paid to taping and sanding, which are the keys to an attractive job.
If drywall is one part of what you don't do, you need this book so you can take on any drywall job -- whether patching, finishing, taping, or installing walls and ceilings. The information on sound-proofing is worth the cost of the book!
Myron Ferguson has over 30 years' experience hanging drywall. In addition to Drywall, and its companion video, he is the author of numerous articles written for trade journals including Fine Homebuilding magazine, Walls and Ceilings, and Tools of the Trade. He participated in the Journal of Light Construction's Live Construction Training Show as their drywall expert.
