This novel by Alison Stuart concerns the later part of the Parliamentary era of the English Civil War. It is based on events that have been recorded by history, but seen through the eyes of a storyteller. Thamsine Granville is in London escaping from a man, but we don't know at first who or why, and she makes a decision that will change the course of her life. Nearby is a veteran of the war, a Royalist, who appears to come to her rescue.
This story, in the hands of another writer, would end about half way through. That would be a concise, contained story, but Ms Stuart doesn't leave her characters dangling and she continues to weave the story through London and further afield until all the loose ends are collected and neatened. There is one exception, and that will, I hope, be where the next story comes from. It promises to be exciting!
This was a pleasure to read, an entertaining novel that does actually keep you guessing and wanting to know what could conceivably happen next. The villain is possibly a little two-dimensional, but who doesn't love a baddie? Our heroine is feisty enough to avoid being insipid, she is not perfectly beautiful and she has faults; our hero is multifaceted and not quite what you expect. We even get to meet Charles Stuart the younger.
A thoroughly good read, Ms Stuart's novel will suit you if you are looking for adventure, romance and a dose of English Civil War history. No pitched battles, but the war continues.

The first and most obvious answer is to cut down on pet overpopulation and the number of homeless cats and dogs that are subject to the privations of life on the streets - starvation, abuse, illness and frequently violent death... ask any rescue volunteer and they can give you 100 sad stories.
What many people don't realize is that spaying and neutering your pet is also truly important for your well cared for, beloved and pampered darling. Hormonal cats and dogs are subject to urges they cannot control and we humans cannot hope to understand. Like any life form the deepest need to reproduce is entrenched in their brains and the hormones produced in unaltered animals torture them constantly. Altered dogs and cats are calmer, better behaved, more trainable, and ultimately much happier animals!
One of the primary reasons pets (cats in particular) are abandoned or relinquished (given away, thrown out....) is inappropriate toileting. No one wants their furniture to smell like pee! I often have pet-buyers ask about "boys spraying" but honestly un-spayed females are often more guilty of marking than un-neutered boys, it's just that un-neutered males have a much stronger odor and are more immediately noticeable.
From a strictly physiological viewpoint, an altered pet also has a much longer lifespan and is not as susceptible to illness and disease, because hormonal urges create a great deal of stress in their bodies and this constant stress depletes the natural immune system. Likewise neutered males never die from testicular cancer and have less aggression and have less inclination to "mark" territory. Spayed females never die from ovarian cancer or pyometra (a disease of the uterus that can be fatal), have far less incidence of mammary displasia (cancer) and also feel less inclined to "advertise" their availability.
Many people feel they are "taking something away" from their pets when they spay or neuter - and in fact you are; you're taking away a greater chance of developing a terminal illness, you're taking away hormonal aggressions and anxiety. What you are giving them by administering this minor surgery is a calmer, happier mind and a longer, healthier life!

ENERGY RATINGS FOR APPLIANCES EXPLAINED
It won't have escaped your notice that domestic appliances feature labels which advise you of their energy rating. The labels are the result of the EU Directive 92/75/EC which was later replaced by Directive 2010/30/EU. The updated system was applied to labelling from July 2011. White goods in the EU must be sold with the labels clearly displayed. They utilise a simple pictogram to illustrate the energy efficiency of the product and also include useful information such as water consumption and the level of noise emitted.
There is no doubt that the labelling system has proved helpful to consumers and has inspired manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of their models. But why should you care about energy efficiency and do you fully understand the labelling system?
THE BENEFITS OF ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES
The impact of human activity on the environment is becoming ever clearer. Energy efficient appliances help to minimise the depletion of the Earth's natural resources. You might think that your humble washing machine can't possibly make much of a difference to the environment, whichever one you choose. But just consider how many appliances there are in the UK. The cumulative effect of any energy and water savings are huge.
It is also important to remember that in reducing energy consumption, you will also be minimising your fuel bills. The potential savings may appear to be small in some instances. However, with several appliances in your home, those savings can soon start to add up.
WHAT ARE THE EU ENERGY RATINGS?
When the EU energy rating labels were first introduced, products were simply rated from A to G with A rated appliances being the most energy efficient. The standard pictogram made it simple to identify an appliance's rating. It became much easier to compare models and to avoid the energy guzzlers. You would think that if you choose the highest rated appliance, you will make the biggest savings. That isn't necessarily the case. Energy ratings are given to appliances based on their size. This means that a large fridge with the best rating could use more energy than a smaller appliance with a poorer rating. If size matters, you should compare the efficiency of appliances which are of the size that you need. If you don't require a large appliance, Choose the smallest model you can get away with but one with the best rating amongst the comparable appliances.
To directly compare the energy consumption of the appliances you are interested in, consult the labels in more detail to establish how many Kw per hour the appliances use. You will also see details of water usage and noise levels which may influence your choice.
BETTER THAN A RATED
Following the introduction of the EU energy ratings, advances in technology have resulted in appliances becoming significantly more efficient. This meant that A+, A++ and A+++ grades were introduced for various products to identify the highest performing models. This makes the ratings more difficult to interpret. Each plus sign represents roughly a 10% improvement in energy efficiency.
From 2021, the existing ratings will be phased out for fridges, washing machines and dishwashers in favour of a return to a simple A to G rating system. This is now possible as the improvements in efficiency have meant that products which would be given the worst ratings under the existing system no longer come to market.
Since 2014, to comply with EU regulations, all washing machines are rated from A to A+++. Labels must also include the energy consumption based on a standard cycle and the estimated water consumption. It is worth noting that you can save energy by choosing a shorter and/or cooler cycle.
Washer dryers combine two different functions but their rating up to A+++ encompasses both. This makes it impossible to do a like for like comparison with separate washing machines and tumble dryers.
As tumble dryers use more energy than any other major appliance, it is vital to choose the most efficient model that you can afford. Dryers with the highest rating of A+++ are available but are extremely costly and so you will probably be forced to choose an A++ rated machine at best. As technology advances, the highest rated machines will inevitably become more affordable.
Running the latest dishwashers can be as efficient as washing by hand. The most efficient appliances use less water than the volume of a washing up bowl but to maximise their efficiency, you must wash full loads.
FRIDGES AND FREEZERS (AND FRIDGE-FREEZERS)
Fridges and freezers use a lot of energy, because they're switched on permanently. These appliances must now have energy ratings between A+ and A+++. The insulating properties of polyurethane foam, the introduction of high-efficiency compressors and better mechanisms for temperature control have led to a significant improvement in the efficiency of cooling appliances.
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY RATINGS
Energy ratings were introduced as recently as 2010 and yet have already been subject to change. Further changes are just around the corner and there will be more in the coming years. The changes have the potential to cause confusion but have been necessary to reflect rapid improvements in technology. While certain aspects of the rating system have proved to be less than ideal, the labels are being adapted over time to ensure that it is easier for consumers to make the right choices.
ENERGY RATINGS AND BREXIT
At the time of writing appliances sold in the UK will continue to feature the EU energy rating labels. Manufacturers would not welcome having to produce UK-specific labels and there would be little point undertaking the cost of establishing a different system when one already exists.

6 Ways to Out ANSWER Your Competitors - HELLO, my name is Scott!
1.	Are you fitting the customer's unique needs or trying to prescribe them a packaged answer? Don't immediately reach for ready-make replies. Customize every conversation.
2.	How often do you respond to mundane questions with memorable answers? The best way to attract someone's attention is to break their patterns. People notice. Besides, you've got nothing to lose, right? Make mundane memorable.
3.	When was the last time you talked to a Customer Service Rep and got mechanically scripted answers that did not apply to your questions? It probably made you feel unimportant, right? Right. Don't do that to your customers. Roboticism doesn't work.
4.	What questions must you have answered by the time the meeting is over? Great to ask customers up front as a measure of accountability. Questions are bridges.
5.	Have you answered the questions they are likely to ask? Brainstorm a list of Top Ten Questions My Customers are Most Likely to Ask. Then write three potential answers for each one. Storehouse your thoughts.
6.	What will you say if the customer asks a question you can't answer? Be willing to say you don't know. That you'll find out. That you'll think about it and get back to them within 24 hours. Sure beats faking it to preserve your ego. Practice positive ignorance.

School-run road rage is top of the class
BRITAIN'S school run roads are at boiling point, a survey out today shows.
With the school run back with a vengeance this week, traffic levels and tensions are on the rise, says the new research.
The RAC Legal Services study found eight million drivers admitted to road rage at other motorists or arguments with passengers.
Over 10% of weekday morning rush-hour traffic can be attributed to the school run, as many parents rush to work via the school gates, often causing congested and stressful urban roads.
RAC Legal Services research has revealed that one in ten motorists (10%) risk their safety through road rage at other drivers.
Meanwhile, almost a fifth (18%) take their eyes off the road to argue with passengers while driving.
Regionally, drivers in Scotland are most aggressive when it comes to road rage against other motorists - 15% admit to having verbally or physically attacked another driver in the past six months.
In Wales, 9% of motorists suffered road rage. Drivers in northern England and London are the worst for arguing in the car (21%) with only 13% of Welsh drivers admitting it.
But while the stereotype road-rage driver may be male, the RAC study proves women are just as susceptible - 9% of women compared with 8% of men admitted to being angry behind the wheel.
Mark Hodges, legal affairs manager for RAC Legal Services said too many motorists still viewed their journey as more important than their safety.
"Driver error is a factor in almost all of the 200,000 accidents on our roads each year - and in the £33m of road accident injury claims we process annually," he said.
RAC Legal Services questioned 2,500 drivers on their behaviour over the past six months.

Hi would like to add logo in to this excel generated. what should I do?
// Format some rows and columns that should have similar formatting so we don't have to set it on individual cells.
// all cells in the regions by getting an enumerator for the region and enumerating each item.
// Add a grand total which is bold and larger than the rest of the text to call attention to it.
In order to add image to a worksheet, my suggestion is to use topLeftCornerCell and bottomRightCornerCell along with WorksheetImage.
I have modified your sample, let me know if I am missing something.
It is recommended to use base 64 encoded image, currently you cannot pass an IMG element to create a WorksheetImage. If you want to use Image my suggestion is to draw that image into a canvas and then use the toDataUrl to have it create a data url that you could then use when creating a WorksheetImage.
At this time you can add an image of the chart to the excel sheet if you have one in the same approach that Zdravko has provided here. If you actually want to add an excel chart, that is a new product idea which you can post on our ideas site.

On the road Thursday night for a 4A Western Slope League matchup with the Eagle Valley Devils in Gypsum, the Glenwood Springs Demons boys basketball team cruised to a 66-49 win, moving ever closer to clinching the league's championship for the third straight season.
Against the Devils, senior guard Wyatt Ewer led the way for Glenwood with 14 points, scoring eight points in the fourth quarter before hitting two huge fourth-quarter 3-pointers to pace the Demons on the night.
Along with Ewer's big performance, senior guard Chano Gonzalez continues to score in a flurry. The senior came through with a game-high 20 points for the Demons, hitting two 3-pointers while going 6-for-8 from the free throw line.
The second half was big for the Demons as a trio of juniors came off the bench and provided some scoring of their own. Junior Mitchell Burt chipped in with 10 points for Glenwood, while John Iuele and Will Narvaez added six and four points, respectively, with Iuele's six coming on two 3-pointers.
Traveling to Gypsum Thursday night for a 4A Western Slope League clash with the Eagle Valley Devils, the Glenwood Springs Demons girls basketball team came out firing against the Devils, putting the game out of reach early to allow a number of reserves heavy playing time in the league win.
Glenwood raced out to a 40-17 lead at the half before cruising the rest of the way for the win.
Junior forward Qwynn Massie led the Demons in points with 15 on the night, scoring eight points in the first quarter to pace the Glenwood attack. Senior guard Emily Worline added 12 points for the Demons, hitting one 3-pointer in the win, while senior guard Ximena Gutierrez added eight points in the effort.

Abū 'Abd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī (arabe: أبو عبد الرحمن محمد بن الحسين السلمي Abū ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusain as-Sulamī; né à Nichapur en 937 et mort au même endroit en 1021) est un soufi et mystique arabe hagiographe et traditionniste (savant qui recueille et transmet les hadîth). Auteur de nombreux ouvrages, il fut un des premiers biographes des soufis.

Biographie
Il est né en 937 (ou peut-être en 942) dans une famille aisée, pieuse et bien connue de Nishapur, dans le Grand Khorassan. Sa nisba, Sulami, pourrait venir de la tribu arabe des Sulaym, via son grand-père maternel, mais la question reste discutée. Quoi qu'il en soit, sa famille compte plusieurs ascètes et soufis — et tant sa mère que son père étaient des soufis. Il est le fils aîné et, à sa naissance, son père distribuera tous ses biens aux pauvres. Sulami est ainsi initié à la voie spirituelle par ses parents, mais aussi par son grand-père maternel Abû Amr Ismâ'îl ibn Nujayd, qui était un membre éminent de la malâmatiyya. Sulami est d'obédience shafiite, et l'on trouve également parmi ses maîtres Abu'l-Qâsem Nasrâbâdi, un traditionniste de Nichapur qui le revêtit par ailleurs de la khirqa, c'est-à-dire le vêtement remis par le maître et qui atteste de la transmission par ce dernier de son savoir ésotérique et de sa barakah.

Il est bientôt habilité à transmettre le soufisme par un des disciples de son grand-père, Abû Sahl al-Su'lûkî (dont on dit également qu'il lui a transmis la khirqa). Sulami a formé de nombreux savants dans les domaines du soufisme, de l'histoire et des hadiths, et son influence, en tant qu'enseignant et biographe, s'est étendue sur plusieurs générations de soufis. Parmi ses disciples, on compte Abū l-Qāsim al-Qushayrī, Abu Nu`aym et Abû Bakr al-Bayhaqî.

Sulami a beaucoup voyagé, en Irak, dans le Hamadan, à Ray, Merv, dans le Hejâz, et d'autres lieux encore. Ce sera l'occasion de nombreux contacts avec des soufis et des savants (ouléma). Durant la dernière partie de sa vie, il construit un petit hospice soufi (khânqâh) qui accueille des soufis pour des retraites. L'endroit devint rapidement connu à Nishapur et à la ronde.

Il meurt à Nichapur en 1021.

Œuvre
Sulamî a été un auteur prolifique. Selon ses biographes, on lui doit une centaine de titres, dont plusieurs sont perdus. Aujourd'hui, il nous reste 54 titres de sa plume. Il a travaillé plus de cinquante ans sur le soufisme, l'exégèse, les hadiths ainsi que l'histoire (essentiellement celle du soufisme).

Tabaqāt al-ṣūfiyya
Parmi ses œuvres les plus importantes, on peut mentionner les Tabaqāt al-ṣūfiyya (littéralement « Classes de soufis », c'est-à-dire « Générations des soufis »). Il s'agit d'une des plus anciennes compilations d'hagiographies de soufis, dans laquelle Sulami présente cent cinq maîtres soufis qui ont vécu entre le  et le . Ce type d'ouvrage est nouveau à son époque. En effet, dans le deuxième quart du , plusieurs auteurs avaient écrit des traités sur le soufisme, principalement dans le but de prouver l'orthodoxie des doctrines soufies (par exemple, Abū Naṣr al-Sarrāj ou Abū Tālib al-Makkī). Mais un peu plus tard apparut un nouveau type de livre qui appliquait la même méthode que les historiens arabes utilisait pour parler des savants, des héros, des grammairiens, etc. : il s'agissait de les diviser en groupes appartenant à une même époque. C'est ce que fait Sulami, et il donne donc ce titre de Classes de soufis.

Pour chaque maître, Sulamī donne une rapide notice biographique et une série de citations emblématiques de son enseignement. Mais en plus des biographies, il présente les différents courants du soufisme tels qu'ils s'étaient développés à son époque (comme les - voir ci-dessous). De ce fait, l'ouvrage, qui a eu une grande influence sur la littérature soufie, permet d'apprécier à la fois la a diversité des approches de la voie spirituelle et l'unité de ses principes. Il présente ainsi les bases doctrinales sur lesquelles le soufisme du Moyen Âge s'est développé. Par la suite, plusieurs hagiographes ont utilisé cet ouvrage comme source pour leurs propres travaux.

Autres ouvrages
Il est aussi l'auteur d'un grand commentaire coranique, Haqâ'iq al-tafsir (« Vérités du commentaire »). Il s'agit en fait d'une vaste compilation d'exégèses soufies du Coran, parmi lesquels on peut relever des fragments de Ja'far al-Sâdiq et de Hallaj. S. Hussaini relève que c'est là un commentaire fort controversé, qui a été attaqué par les juristes de son temps.

On lui doit aussi la Risâlat al-malâmatiyya (« Épître des hommes du blâme »), ouvrage qui présente les grands principes de ce mouvement des Malâmati et qui est essentiel à la connaissance du mouvement. Enfin, on peut mentionner le Kitāb ādāb al-ṣuḥba wa-ḥusn al-ʿishra (« Les convenances de la compagnie spirituelle et des relations sociales »): prenant comme modèle le comportement de Mahomet, Sulami y traite des us et des manières à adopter pour devenir soufi. En tant que maître spirituel, il a laissé entre autres Les vices de l'âme et leurs remèdes ainsi que Le recueil des règles en usage chez les soufis.

Finalement, Sulami a été actif dans plusieurs domaines : dictionnaires biographiques, commentaires coraniques (tafsir), monographies sur des sujets variés dans les registres religieux ou éthique, ainsi littérature d'adab.

Importance
Selon Denis Gril, Sulami constitue un moment charnière dans le développement du soufisme. Il recense nombre de traditions, que ce soit des hadith ou des traditions soufies, qu'il va retransmettre dans ses ouvrages. Grâce à ce travail de récepteur-transmetteur, il va jouer un rôle important dans la fusion de différents courants spirituels, qui donnera une vaste synthèse que l'on appellera tasawwuf (soufisme). Y sont intégrés l'ascétisme, le soufisme de Bagdad, la chevalerie spirituelle de Nishapour (futuwwa), la sagesse de Tirmidhi  et les Malâmatis (la futuwwa est une « forme de chevalerie et de compagnonnage mystique »). Cette intégration ne signifie pas confusion, mais vise à montrer que ces courants tendent vers un seul et même but : le modèle du Prophète.

Candidates for Secretary of State debate in…
Candidates for Secretary of State debate in Sunnyvale
By Tracy Seipel | tseipel@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
Wednesday's debate between the two major candidates running for California secretary of state revealed stark differences on everything from how each would increase voter registration to how they'd use technology to improve what is still often a manual process.
Their styles, too, were opposed: Where incumbent Debra Bowen, a Democrat, was soft-spoken and analytical in her responses, Republican challenger Damon Dunn was bold and aggressive in his remarks and openly critical of Bowen's first term.
"We often hear voters say they don't have a choice in elections, but I don't think anyone would state that with these two candidates," Carl Guardino, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, said after the event.
The hourlong debate, co-sponsored by the Leadership Group, the Mercury News, ABC-Channel 7 and KLIV AM-1590, was held at the Sunnyvale headquarters of Intuitive Surgical, a surgical robotics company.
Before an audience of about 60, the candidates touted their ideas for change based on opposite sets of experience.
Bowen, 54, is a former state legislator who was elected secretary of state in 2006. She said she's proud of strides she made in evaluating and fixing California's voting systems, shoring up election security and strengthening fraud prevention efforts. She believes she's enhanced public access to her office by expanding website services.
And she is an advocate of transparency: She noted she was the first California legislator to voluntarily put her campaign finance reports online.
Dunn, by contrast, has had no government experience. But even though he never voted before last year, he sees holes in Bowen's efforts, including what he believes has been little outreach to disenfranchised communities who he said don't see any reason to vote.
"I was a poor kid, and this state made me," said the 34-year-old businessman, who graduated from Stanford University and went on to a brief pro football career before entering the real estate business. "It's payback time."
Dunn said he believes the key to increased voter participation is for politicians to do what he's been doing during this election season: Visiting communities of color and low-income areas to get people to register. If elected, he said, he will ask state legislators to help educate their constituents about what government is doing for them and why it's important to vote.
Bowen cited her efforts to increase education about voting in California middle and high schools, so young people will understand the importance of voting, register early and have a better chance of remaining active voters.
Dunn also challenged Bowen on the length of time it takes to complete a business filing through her office; while it used to be 14 days, it's now 57, he said. Bowen said budget cuts have forced her office to scale back on personnel, which affected that timetable.
Dunn then pointed out that she also has taken credit for making those cuts. "You can't have it both ways," he told her.
Bowen said her office is making adjustments to get the filing system back up to speed.
Dunn also criticized Bowen's office for its problems with a contractor hired to upgrade her office's voter-registration database; Bowen explained the contract was cut short because of the contractor's failure to perform. Her office will now go back out for new bids to help improve the system.
Observers said both candidates made good points throughout, but they noted that Bowen was able to describe what she's done in the job so far, while Dunn was only able to talk about what he would do.
"I liked his fire and enthusiasm," said Harry Van Wickle, a software entrepreneur. But he also thought Bowen was better prepared than Dunn to work with Sacramento legislators.
Cecelia McCloy, president of Integrated Science Solutions, said that while Dunn has "a lot of good ideas," she was dismayed by his non-voting record.
"If you haven't been active in the political process before," she asked, "then why would anyone believe you?"

A new portrait of fallen deputy, Steven Belanger, was unveiled Wednesday morning February 6, 2019, exactly one year to the day of his passing. The memorial hallway at Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station, in which it hangs with a plaque, was recently renovated. It is a hallowed place honoring local law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, just as Deputy Steven Belanger did. He was the first deputy at that station to lose his life in the line of duty and the memorial wall was dedicated to him.
In March, 1988, Steve took a solemn oath of office to faithfully discharge his duties. He was a second-generation Los Angeles County deputy sheriff who followed in his father's footsteps. It was less than ten years later, while assigned to Walnut/Diamond Bar Station, Steve was critically injured by a suspect.
During a vehicle stop on Saturday, December 10, 1994, in Rowland Heights, Steve was shot by a suspect. He was struck in the head, with the bullet permanently lodging in his brain. He survived, but his life, quality of life, career, and family were changed forever.
On Tuesday, February 6, 2018, Deputy Steven Belanger succumbed to his injuries.
In a ceremony before the unveiling, Captain Al Reyes spoke about Steve's bravery and fighting spirit. He pushed through the physical challenges caused by the shooting and survived for more than 23 years afterward. Steve, as do all who sign up to be in the law enforcement business, knew the dangerous possibilities and chose that path, anyway. "It's a job you choose based on the concept that you can make the world a better place," said Captain Reyes.
Steve's patrol training officer, Deputy Dan Duran, recalled a funny moment they shared, and spoke affectionately of Steve's perennial smile, humor and professionalism. They spent time a good deal of time together while Steve was on training and became so close, he considered Steve as one of his sons in law enforcement. "Sometimes you question God on why things happen," said Deputy Duran. "But just for me, I want to thank God that I was part of his life. There's always going to be a smile on my face when I think about him," he said.
Steve's wife, Chris, and daughter, Nicole, attended the event with other family members. The room for the ceremony was filled with longtime friends, and former coworkers and supervisors, gathered to honor an esteemed partner.
It was not even 25 years earlier that Steve walked the very hallway dedicated to him today. Newer generations of deputies who pass through the same hallway also attended the event and could see how much Steve meant. By walking through the memorial hallway, past Steve's portrait, they will be able to see his sacrifice in service and know how much he gave to make a community safer.
The renovation was generously funded by the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs (ALADS); Professional Peace Officers Association (PPOA); the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, 4th District; Rotary Club of Walnut Valley; and station fundraising events.

Andre Onana's chequered career: World Cup axe, transfer 'dream' and ban controversy
The 26-year-old has been one of the standout goalkeepers in European football in recent years but it hasn't always been plain sailing for him, both on and off the pitch

Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana has hit the headlines after being axed from the Cameroon squad just hours before their World Cup clash with Serbia.
The former Ajax shot-stopper has been excluded from the Indomitable Lions camp after refusing to change his style of goalkeeping for manager Rigobert Song, with the 26-year-old adding his latest tirade to a chequered career that has already produced a number of controversial moments.
Following on from his World Cup axe, Mirror Football takes a look at the colourful career of the former Ajax goalkeeper, including his transfer 'dream' and drugs ban controversy.
Career so far
A former Barcelona youth product, Onana joined Ajax in 2015 and quickly became their first-choice goalkeeper a year later and racked up 214 appearances in all competitions across a seven-and-a-half-year spell.
The 26-year-old helped the Dutch outfit win six trophies, including three league titles, and was part of the successful side which knocked out Real Madrid and Juventus on their way to reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 2018-19 campaign. He was also named in the Eredivisie Team of the Year that season.
Upon the expiration of his Ajax contract in June, Onana joined Inter Milan on a five-year deal and has already registered 13 appearances for the Serie A giants. Outside of domestic action, he has 34 appearances for Cameroon and helped them secure third place at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

Would you like to see Andre Onana in the Premier League? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Premier League transfer 'dream'
While at Ajax in November 2019, Onana revealed that he was interested in playing in the Premier League, before the Daily Mail reported just over 12 months later that he was still 'dreaming' of a move to the English top flight.
The Cameroon international's representatives held talks with both Chelsea and Tottenham in the summer of 2020, but both sides opted for alternative signings instead. However, the report stated that Onana's 'ambitions have not been tempered'.
The Premier League remains his 'preferred destination', but after moving to the Italian capital to join Inter during the summer, his top flight 'dream' remains on hold for now.
Doping ban
Onana was handed an initial 12-month ban from football in 2021 after failing a drugs test
In February 2021, while still plying his trade in Amsterdam, Onana was handed a 12-month playing ban by UEFA following a positive test for Furosemide - a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency as it can be used to mask other forms of doping.
However, Ajax appealed UEFA's decision by claiming that Onana had taken his wife's medicine by mistake after waking up one morning and feeling unwell, as per a report from The Athletic.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport decided to reduce Onana's ban to nine months in June 2021, with the Cameroon international registering just 10 appearances in his final campaign for Ajax last season.
Other high-profile incidents
In March this year, Onana was involved in a serious car crash on his way to link up with the Cameroon national team, in which his Range Rover collided with another car that left both with major damage. Thankfully, both drivers walked away unscathed.

[Ratty] Lewis G Rosenthal has been sending me modded Firefox and Thunderbird extensions. As they come in I have been listing them on my xSidebar pages as well as here.

Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate this rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. IanN to file a bug on this.
2.9 had ~83,500 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.9.1 had ~99,200 downloads so far (2.8 reached ~204,900 downloads).
Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 13.7% on 2.0, 5.2% on 2.1-2.3, 9.3% on 2.4-2.6, 4.1% on 2.7, 9.6% on 2.8 and 58.2% on 2.9. So, in the last two weeks there has not been any real movement.
Darwin 9.8 is last version with PPC support, so those people may be stuck on old versions because of that.
SeaMonkey 2.6.1 for PowerPC/G4 on Mac OS 10.5.x is available. IanN says we should advertise that more (and other contributed builds).
The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for "Legacy Platforms" e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to TenFourFox and TenFourBird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
Asynchronous load-on-demand livemarks (bug 730837). If we want this for SeaMonkey 2.10 we should land this before the next beta is cut.

Helping Emergency Vehicles Arrive Faster To Save Lives
AutomotiveFeatured
By Editorial Team Last updated Aug 13, 2020
Autotalks, which specializes in V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication solutions, has teamed up with Applied Information, an Atlanta-based provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure solutions, to save lives on the roads of Georgia, Texas, and Hawaii.
The two companies are carrying out the world's first Dual-Mode /Dual- Active V2X deployment, in which Autotalks' dual mode chipsets are installed in emergency vehicles and on roadside units such as traffic lights.
Applied Information has developed a Dual-Mode/Dual-Active Roadside Unit to communicate with vehicles equipped with V2X On Board Units (OBUs). The main use-cases are for emergency vehicles' traffic signal preemption, transit buses for traffic signal priority and vehicles involved in roadside work zones.
The traffic signal preemption function in Alpharetta, Georgia, the first site of the RSU deployment, transfers the normal operation of the traffic control signal to a mode of operation which gives the right of way to emergency vehicles such as ambulances and firefighting vehicles, while all other traffic is brought safely to a halt. As a result, these vehicles can arrive to their destination earlier and have better chances to save lives.
The deployment is expected to expand to include other use cases beyond emergency vehicles, such as transit bus priority, red light running alerts and 'get ready for green' message to make traffic move more safely and efficiently through signalized intersections.
In Alpharetta, over 150 traffic control devices are connected and provide a unique opportunity to make real improvements in safety and mobility on streets and highways. The Georgia site is the first real life testing site of this type of deployment. Applied Information has signed similar agreements in Texas and Hawaii, where the two companies are cooperating in similar deployments.
The deployment takes place throughout a 78.5 square mile area surrounding the Infrastructure Automotive Technology Laboratory (iATL) in Alpharetta. The iATL is the world's first private-sector facility for developing connected vehicle applications for both vehicles and traffic control devices such as traffic signals.
"Our work with Applied Information, which results in the world's first Dual-Mode /Dual- Active V2X deployment, is another proof that the auto industry is determined not to wait until the US regulator will decide which V2X technology to deploy. Whether C-V2X or DSRC is selected, there is a move to deploy agnostic technologies such as the one we are offering with AI, and to begin saving lives today," said Yuval Lachman, vice president of business development at Autotalks. He added that the collaboration will expedite Autotalks' entry into the U.S. market.
"The AI/Autotalks solution enables roadway operators to confidently deploy V2X technology today so the infrastructure is ready for the auto industry deployment, while providing 'Day One' benefits such as safer, faster emergency vehicle response times now," said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information.
Autotalks believes that it has an important advantage as its dual mode V2X chipset can enable the US automotive industry to immediately start large-scale V2X deployment during the period of uncertainty until a uniform technology is chosen. With the company's dual mode chipset, carmakers can focus on bringing enhanced safety to US roads with V2X without taking into consideration which V2X technology will prevail.
Autotalks' deployment-ready, 2nd generation V2X chipset is the world's first available solution which supports both DSRC based on 802.11p/ITS-G5 standards and C-V2X based on 3GPP release 14 and 15 specifications with embedded V2X cyber-security functionality. The chipset allows customers to easily toggle between DSRC and C-V2X communications.

Gaming Ads: Jaleco USA
Jaleco Ltd. was founded in 1974 as Japan Leisure Co., Ltd. and manufactured amusement games. In 1982 it entered the arcade game industry and in 1983 shortened its name to Jaleco. Based in Illinois, Jaleco USA opened around 1988 to distribute arcade titles and publish home video games. Through 1994 all of its console and handheld games were for Nintendo platforms (NES, SNES, Game Boy) as it didn't publish its first non-Nintendo games until 1995 when the 32-bit generation arrived with the releases of the Sega Saturn and Sony's PlayStation (PS).
While Jaleco published a wide variety of games, it is best known for its long running baseball series of games called Bases Loaded. No less than eight Bases Loaded games were released between 1988 and 1995. Jaleco only released two games for Sega platforms -- Base Loaded '96 for Saturn and Carrier for Dreamcast -- as it focused on the PlayStation in the late '90s, releasing 14 PS games from 1995-2000. In 2000 Jaleco was purchased by Hong Kong-based Pacific Century CyberWorks (PCCW). Jaleco USA merged with PCCW's VR-1 Entertainment to become Jaleco Entertainment in 2002.
Jaleco Entertainment released a few new titles across the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube, as well as some Virtual Console games for the Wii. The North American Jaleco branch went out of business sometime between 2008 and 2011. In Japan there were a few more company name changes though it went bankrupt in 2014. A company called Hamster Corporation may own some of Jaleco's properties today as it has re-published a few former Jaleco games digitally for current game consoles.
