ULTRA KIND, ALTRUISTIC, CAPABLE
THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY PRESIDENT
"He's deeply generous with both his time and his money when people need a lift. It seems that everyone who has known him has a tale of his altruism, whether it's quietly funding a charitable cause or helping build a playground to honor the late son of a friend and neighbor. And he is an authentically devoted husband and father, a commitment often honored by politicians more in the breach than in fact."
The Real Romney, Kranish and Helman (who are on the left)
I was moved to tears, as I read about his kindness and his giving to others, in the chapter entitled Family Man, Church Man in The Real Romney. There couldn't be a kinder, more compassionate man in actions than Mitt Romney.
"Mitt Romney sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister."
THE BOTTOMLINE
Comes through in action, helping others, giving, making a difference. At an extraordinary, extraordinary level.
Many "stories of Roney's humanity and warmth..."
Worked for ten years of his life for $1/year, helping his state, the country, and even saving his old consulting
company partners from financial problems.
Set up $10 million charitable trust
Worked on combating hunger
"Sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society." (Independent observation about
him."
Look at what and who he has become: clean living, healthy, a constantly committed helper and fixer,
Stands for the highest values.
Concerned and caring in the way it counts
Very giving
Highest values, family man, integrity
Ten years given at $1/year
The past is predictive of the future
The definition of compassion
Examples laying out his motivation and character
More examples of extraordinary giving
His temperament and kindness
Frugal to the core
Exposure to the world
The "doggy tale" - the myth and the twistings
Yes, sometimes he gets so focused and so intense on producing results that he doesn't really "connect". He doesn't use any ruses or fake it or repeat statements, such as "I really feel your pain." No one can really feel your pain, but they can support you in creating a better world - and that is Romney's passion, starting with the United States.
There is no one more committed than he to actually get the job done and not just do political rhetoric and manipulation. He is a "no nonsense" guy - and he won't accept anything less than a significant success for you and for the United States.
Wanda Andrade Of Brockton, Massachusetts: "He Does The Right Thing, And I Like People Who Do The Right Thing." "A number of voters said they admired the governor's morality. Wanda Andrade, 43, a Democrat and nursing assistant from Brockton, said she was a friend of Milena Del Valle, the woman who was killed in the Big Dig tunnel collapse. Andrade was moved by what she described as Romney's kindness to the family. 'They were poor people, and he responded right away,' she said. 'He does the right thing, and I like people who do the right thing.'" Boston Globe
Or the classic one where he gave an African-American lady money to pay her light bill off. She appreciated it. Others called it condescension and racism. But, without mind reading, I call it kindness.
"Behind Romney's rather lighthearted, witty and restless demeanor described in the previous chapter, lies a sensitive, poetic soul. Mitt Romney may cover up his sensitivity with light banter and cleverness..."
See other quotes below, especially Mitt Romney Motivation.
He could be the President who has given the most to charity, in actual dollars most likely, but also percentagewise. (The last two years: 16%. Obama, 1% [gave more the next year]; Biden, 0.2%; Newt 2.6%) _________________________________________________________________________________
We ought to look at what he does, not just rhetoric.
He is of absolute moral integrity. He keeps his promises, even the huge commitment to his church. He gives service to others, including his church. He is a strong Christian man of extraordinary integrity and countonability.
As head of the Olympics, as Governor, and even while rescuing Bain & Company, his salary was $1/year.
How many people give that much or even close to it????
HE KEEPS FIT AND HEALTHY
He runs and works out, exhibiting the actual practice of doing what will work. There is one candidate who would appear to have longevity problems.
He has performed extraordinarily no matter what it is and he has impeccable moral character. The tendency to ignore the show of lack of moral character (while forgiving the past) is a huge mistake.
Some people think it is "I feel your pain", which is, if it is genuine, really that person's pain and not yours.
"Deep awareness of a human being's suffering coupled with the wish to relieve it."
Romney will do that, as probably the most effective President of all time.
"Mitt shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others."
"He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict."
"Leading groups and classes and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Mitt Romney really shines and expresses his creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions comes naturally to him."
"Accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Mitt has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. Mitt Romney sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Romney tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Mitt has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no".
Yet, he will hold the line where it is critical to do so, with remarkable tenacity, standing for what is right. He is much admired in business and/or moral situations.
Bob Dole: "I think he's got what it takes, with his proven business background, and his character is unassailed." "We've worked with the White House on a couple of issues," Dole noted, including combating hunger in the United States and around the globe.
"In an age of incivility, Mr. Romney's "acts of kindness" are refreshing."
A family in tragedy, and Mitt shows up providing "beyond anything he would ever hope to have". Though many have been generous to this family, "the Romney's' generosity still stands out."
Ann, besides being a mother of 5, was "active in charities such as the United Way, workede with inner city youth, competed in equestrian events,and took on various responsibilities at church."
When a meighbor's house caught on fire, he showed up quickly and organized the neighbors to rescue what they could, until firemen ushered them out. The result: Much was saved.
An associate who fell off a ladder while trying to knock down a hornet's nest: Romney just showed up at 9:30 at night, hammer in hand, and knocked down the hornet's nest.
Many, many, many more examples.
In his relationship with Ann 'he never raised his voice." He didn't blow up when Ann accidentally left the sunroof open so that the rain soaked the interior. He so valued and revered what she did for him and their family.
"Mitt's not going to do something that they don't feel good about together." They "never had an argument during their marriage, which sounded preposterous to the ears of many married mortals." "He doesn't even contradict my mother in public." (op. cit.)
"Wearing winter gloves pathced with duct tape." (op. cit.) "His sons urged him to buy a luxury car, but he refused, continuing to drive a dented Chevy Caprice Classic, nicknamed the Gray Grunt." (op. cit.)
"Those positions in the church [he gave lots of time and was in high positions of leadership] amounted to his biggest leadership test yet, exposing him to personal and institutional crises, human tragedies, immigrant cultures, social forces, and organizational challenges that he had never before encountered."
About his active involvement with minorites and other cultures: "I just love those people
THE DOGGY TALE
A great example of false conjecture and imputation lies in the repeated false rumor about Seamus the dog and the family trip with Ann and Mitt and the 5 children. With no room left in the car, Mitt made a special "addition" for Seamus: a customized "dog carrier, attached to the station wagon's roof rack." To make sure it was comfortable, "he had improvised a windshield for the carrier."
On the trip, there was a miscalculation and/or the dog had the runs, so there was a rather gross "accident". Romney cleaned it up immediately and handled the problem and got back on the road.
And just imagination the "stories" made up about this! And they all were put out there, with little thought and probably some animosity, as people fabricated "evil intentions" and "meanness to animals" - all bullbleep!
He was actually very kind and caring with his dog, who they all enjoyed playing with.

The third installment of Marvel's Captain America franchise could just as easily be marketed as the third Avengers movie, though Cap is front-and-center enough to justify the branding, and the film serves more as a sequel to Winter Soldier than Age of Ultron. The latter film is a significant contributor to the story, particularly in its introduction of several vital cast members. Let's do a spoiler-free run-down, shall we?
Note: Some people feel that any mention at all of anything that happens in a film constitutes a spoiler; while discussing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, somebody protested that my quoting of the first four words of the opening text crawl was a spoiler. So let's define terms, shall we? If it's something that's part of the movie's ad campaign (like, for instance, which heroes are on what side), it's not a spoiler. If it's an obvious extension of a plot-point from one of the previous films (like, for instance, that Bucky Barnes is still out there on the loose somewhere), it's not a spoiler. If it's something inconsequential AND it's in the trailers (like, for instance, the fact that Vision dresses like an accountant in his off-hours), it's not a spoiler. Spoilers are things that the audience doesn't know, the reveal of which are part of the fun of seeing the movie; in other words, things that would spoil the surprise. Like, for instance, if I told you that [REDACTED] has a great scene where he [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] says "[REDACTED]!", that would be a spoiler. Are we all agreed? Okay then.
Captain America: Civil War, while being a worthy sequel to two previous films (possibly three, since Iron Man 3 sets up a lot of the action here), also succeeds as a stand-alone film in its own right. This is a solid, well-plotted, compelling story, and the Russo Brothers are masters at juggling a huge cast and multiple storylines while keeping us emotionally invested.
Following the major destruction caused by the Avengers fighting aliens over New York, Ultron over Sokovia, and by Captain America dropping a few SHIELD helicarriers on Washington DC, the UN feels that perhaps there should be some government oversight for these superheroes, who are in essence walking weapons of mass destruction. Some heroes agree with the proposal, others object, but the abstract principles become concrete and immediate when Bucky (AKA Winter Soldier) is the subject of a global manhunt following an assassination; when Cap interferes to keep Bucky from being captured and killed, things come to a head. Conflicts ensue.
As both Russo brothers explained, action in a film is only really effective when it defines a character or moves the story forward, and the action scenes here do both, and do it better than most such films. From the opening mission to the final battle between Cap and Iron Man, it's the characters and their relationships that drive the action.
Like Winter Soldier, Civil War is as much a political intrigue film as it is a superhero movie; the questions about power and its responsibilities remain central, with characters' decisions being largely influenced by their relationships; Tony and Steve's conflict, Tony and Rhodey's partnership, Vision and Wanda's slowly-growing connection, and most significantly, Steve's lifelong friendship with Bucky, the last remaining connection to his pre-WWII life, all provide motivation for everything that occurs.
But it's not all emotional gnashing; there are hilarious moments, from Ant-Man going full fanboy on Cap to Spider-Man's nonstop mid-battle wisecracking (one thing that had been sorely lacking in every previous film outing by the wallcrawler), and breathtaking action scenes. The battle between the two teams was described by producer Kevin Feige as "the splash panel scene," and he's right. Every shot looks like a two-page spread Alex Ross might have painted for the Marvels graphic novel. The sequence is glorious, with Paul Rudd and Tom Holland dominating the show.
While the story centers on Captain America and his hard choices, the rest of the characters are well-served, each getting their moments in the spotlight; the few scenes we get with Peter Parker make us eager for his solo movie, and the same is true of Chadwick Boseman's terrific performance as the heir to the throne of Wakanda and protector of his people, T'Challa, the Black Panther. That film can't get here soon enough. Paul Bettany's Vision remains a great character, and his nascent relationship with Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), adds some charming moments and a basis for one of the film's key events. Hawkeye and Black Widow provide solid support in the action scenes, and Emily Van Camp's Sharon Carter carries on the family tradition established by her Aunt Peggy.
One area in which Civil War beats Age of Ultron is that it doesn't have to serve multiple masters to the same extent. The story has been widely told of Joss Whedon's conflict with the studio executives regarding all the scenes that were demanded in order to make the film serve as a sequel to a few movies and setup to a few more. Ultron spent so much time carrying wood for other movies that it barely had time to tell its own story. That doesn't happen here. While Civil War follows the events of the two Avengers films, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man 3, it doesn't rub your nose in the fact; they remind you of anything you need to know, to the point that one could walk in cold without having seen any of the previous films and still make some sense out of the goings-on. Our own Matt Blum has helpfully run down which Marvel films tie in to Civil War, so if you want to take a refresher course before seeing the new one, you can check the list.
Of course, Civil War does set up a couple of things that will pay off in the future. It introduces Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe so Peter Parker can hit the ground running in Spider-Man: Homecoming without making us plod through Uncle Ben's inevitable demise a third time. It also provides the origin story for Black Panther, so we can also jump right into that film without spending the first 45 minutes waiting for him to get to the costume already. That's about it, I think, unless there's a Vision and Scarlet Witch movie in process, and if there's anything setting up Infinity War, Dr. Strange, or Ant-Man & the Wasp, I must have missed it. I guess I'll just have to go see it a few more times to make sure.

Thanks, great review. Winter Soldier is so far, my favotite Marvel movie by several country universes and I will admit I am a tad aprehensive about this new one – I hope the studio PTB aren't hijacking it just to try to make even bigger $$$$$ by turning it into another Avengers movie.
I love the chemistry, and intimacy of the core team of Cap, Black Widow, and Falcon, going up against the seemingly unstoppable big bads. And Bucky was awesome, really enjoyed the way they handled his story arc.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, your review gives me renewed hope, thanks again.

Even though, when we would attend industry parties, people would immediately recognize him and were very warm towards him, it became evident that his time had come and gone and that now, he was now a great part of Hollywood history.
How Does That Relate To The Retail Evolution?
I can't help but recollect the moment I'd noticed that my friend had become, for all intents and purposes, obsolete in his industry – with each and every story I read about retailers we have all known closing for business, I can't help but be reminded of the moment I realized that the need for my friend's point of view and perspective was rendered irrelevant. Of course, in retail we have a lot of options available to us to assign blame to…the customer, the shopping centers that aren't generating foot traffic, Amazon – I could go on and on. The objective reality is that companies that are unable to, or choose not to, evolve and stay relevant will find themselves extinct. Not for any other reason than they have placed themselves in this position by not adjusting their business and using the many resources available today to effectively communicate business strategy and manage the customer journey.
Currently, as I type this article, there are two retailers in the news that have escalated their circumstances from "distressed" to "dire" with one of those retailers announcing they will be ceasing operations and have begun the liquidation process. The other – recently – declared bankruptcy. The challenges they faced came directly from the executive and most senior level leadership of the organizations existing inside their own bubble of ego and retail history. Recently having experienced both retailers, I found my in-store experiences to be bland, at best. Both delivered shopping experiences that were a little bit gross and dirty, disorganized, and profoundly lacked in even the most basic level of service and employee interaction of any positively memorable kind. Usually, I saw sour or zero-charisma employees going through the motions of ringing up transactions and who seemingly – for the most part – performed only the most basic tasks assigned to their job description.
These issues are symptomatic of ineffective leadership. Ineffective leadership from the executive team [having placed the stores in this dire position] and from a field and store leadership perspective where excuses around Amazon and the customer selecting a different way to shop were taken at face value and an environment where few people fought to make a difference and challenge that theory. Having worked for companies that were in distress, I know it is absolutely possible to deliver exceptional experience, positive comps, and a positively memorable aesthetic shopping journey through the very final day of business – if you possess the drive, competence, and determination to do it.
An obstacle that comes with this type of environment/employee and primarily sourcing/recruiting and inviting these people into a new organization ["to get them hired"] is that these potential candidates – especially those who have held long(er)-term roles – have not been required to adapt to change [except in the final weeks of the business] in their previous culture. There have not been exposed to innovation, nor elevation of customer experience [or even a required focus on it], oftentimes the retailers that are declaring bankruptcy and dissolving are very behind in all things development in their people, their product, and their presentation. They often and profoundly lack a sense of anything other than working within the dreaded status quo. Many candidates who have existed in these roles can erode and damage forward-momentum and forward-thinking in new organizations.
Unfortunately, there frequently exists is an "old-school" mentality, in these types of retail organizations…as a matter of fact – one of them just introduced [in July 2017] the 1989 leadership theory: "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". An outdated leadership concept from 30 years ago that now is used, primarily, in elementary school environments. These people will take substantial time, budget, and energy to bring up to current market relevance and I don't know many retailers that can afford, in time or cost, to reeducate leaders grounded in antiquated business concepts and moldy operational models. There is so much amazing talent in the marketplace, just because people are currently working doesn't make them the best candidate for every role. This is when critical success factors and signature relationship practices should guide the dialog.
Companies that don't innovate or even adapt to the times are quickly finding themselves industry dinosaurs. Companies that don't re-imagine and reinvent themselves to the customer, marketplace expectations, and the engaging digital age are going away. Retailers today are confronted by a more robust, vivid, and complex business environment. With highly valuable and significant information at the hands of every customer, new ways they engage with products and brands and a more dynamic and diverse competitive landscape, traditional retail is going through a period that is decidedly more of a revolution than an evolution.
Retail organizations and leaders that capture and effectively utilize customer data real-time, that have real and actionable engagement and experience strategies in place, and are working to develop and build sustainable customer loyalty are the ones who are working to drive their brand proposition, growth, and sustainability in today's retail landscape.
In-store iPads for ordering from bebe's online catalogue/website.
Obviously, we will have to wait and see how this new lifestyle branding works out for this organization but – I applaud the retailers like bebe – that are innovating the concept of how their stores will meet shoppers' needs today and into the future: this probably means fewer stores, but stores that will cater to how consumers shop today and the future digital age. Clearly focusing on of the themes of convenience, collection and destination, I believe many retailers will be able to successfully reposition themselves for the future.
Coach [part of the Tapestry Fashion Group] is another exciting re-emerging leader in the new retail environment – in my opinion. Since taking Coach's reins in 2014, CEO Victor Luis has done what a very few retail CEOs have been able to accomplish, he has tapped into his company's successful past to help it compete in a more challenging and fluid present [with exciting collaborations and partnerships]. Taking the brand image from "our founding, romantic days" and using the brand nostalgia to re-introduce it in today's evolving and digital consumer market. Three years ago, Coach was hemorrhaging market share, suffering the effects of being a retailer that positioned themselves as a discount, mass-appeal retailer – that position tarnished its brand and repelled its core deep-resource and affluent customer. Mr. Luis, brilliantly, shrank the business [from 300+ locations to just over 200 locations in 2017] and re-positioned Coach as a smaller, exclusive, and healthier retailer, prioritizing quality and customer experience over mass-market acceptance.
One of my other favorite and on-going transformations is that of Abercrombie & Fitch who, in the late 90's and throughout the aughts and early teens positioned themselves as exclusionary, brash, conformist, but also cool, young, athletic, and hyper-attractive. The brand absolutely alienated certain consumer segments, such as the awkward and non-confirmist teens and an older consumer segment, to attract its core consumer [that could tolerate their overwhelming scent marketing and irresponsibly loud music]. Their early brand image invited litigation and brand-tarnishing losses. Their customer was changing in the early teens and were finding value and excitement around inclusiveness and diversity and found that their brand did not follow suit. The end result being that Abercrombie & Fitch's "cool and exclusive" factors were interpreted as discriminatory, offensive, and controversial and was counter to where their customer's moral center accepted. Sales dropped and their base deserted the stores.
Since 2016 Abercrombie & Fitch has been diligently working on re-branding to position itself as inclusive, accessible, candid, confident, quality, and comfortably stylish. This is a clear break from its previous elitist promise. They are still working through some of their challenges as they market the brand to position it as inclusive, diverse and accessible. But this is in direct contradiction with its relatively recent brand perceptions which makes it difficult to capture new customers but, as a customer since early 2017, I love the brand and the quality of the apparel today. It will take time for Abercrombie & Fitch to be actually associated with values such as inclusiveness and openness. I hope they continue to engineer this image shift and find marketplace success to a larger audience.

Agricultural Services Company fined after two workers fell from an unsafe working platform
The company was fined following an incident in which two workers were injured during construction work at a farm in Goxill, north Lincolnshire. The court heard that two of Henzell Enterprise Ltd's workers fell approximately three metres when the mobile work platform they were working in failed. The two men received serious injuries though have since returned to work.
The HSE prosecuting, told the court Henzell Enterprises Ltd had been contracted to erect a steel framed agricultural building at East Marsh Farm, Goxill.
A steel frame had been erected and work had started to install the roof beams. On 24 October 2013, the two workers were fixing roof beams in place from inside a raised man riding basket fitted to a forklift telehandler truck.
The basket attachment failed and along with the workers it fell around three metres to the ground below and both men suffered broken bones and internal injuries.
The immediate cause of the accident was that the basket had not been secured correctly to the forks of the telehandler. The court was told the type of equipment being used was not suitable for this type of high risk work.
HSE told the court the company had failed to ensure the safety of its employees, in that work at height was not properly planned, appropriately supervised, or carried out in a safe manner. In particular, the company had failed to provide appropriate equipment for work at height.
By using a telehandler with a removable basket, the company increased the risk to workers. The telehandler was also being used to lift materials which required the man riding basket to be removed and replaced frequently.
Henzell Enterprises Ltd of Morpeth was fined £5000 with £10,147 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching Regulation 4 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
The HSE inspector commented after the case that it was the responsibility of the company, to ensure that work at height was planned and carried out in a safe manner.
It remains that falls from height are the main reason for workplace fatalities and therefore it is so important that employers take note of this case and ensure that work at height, including the selection of appropriate equipment is planned in detail and managed closely so as to prevent accidents to workers.

The black 'vintage vine leaves' case wraps perfectly around your phone. This print is exclusive and one-of-a-kind, showing off your phone whilst protecting it at the same time. The images show the same mobile phone case photographed on both a silver & black phone.
iPhone; XR, XS Max, X/XS & 6/6s.
Samsung; S9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Plus & S7.
Absolutely amazing product. Great protection for my phone and very stylish. Absolutely in love with it.
I love this case, it fits perfectly and is really pretty. My only suggestion would be to have clear sides. I have a new gold iPhone and the side colour of the phone is really nice so I would love to have shown that off. The black lace pattern on the gold at the back looks great!

I'm running 18.04, using Xorg for display, and nVidia 396.
I've tried prepending DISPLAY=":0", or DISPLAY=":0.0", with numerical variations between 0 to 3 for each type. Each time, I get either this message:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
# Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Or this one:
# Error creating terminal: Failed to get screen from object path /org/gnome/Terminal/screen/47543056_45c7_42eb_8d4e_1277fad5286e

I've also tried using the --geometry option. I thought perhaps adding the following option would open what I need in the left monitor:
--geometry=1680x1050+0+0

However, this just opens up the relevant software maximised in the primary (centre) monitor. Even after trying varying resolutions and offsets, the result would still be the same.
This is really only a minor inconvenience for me, so I don't want to install any additional packages if that's the only way around this, but if I'm using the wrong commands, let me know what I should be using instead.
Essentially, I want to open two terminals. One on my left and right monitors in full screen. To that extent, the base command I use is:
gnome-terminal --full-screen

A: You were on the right track. The --full-screen option will open the terminal window in full screen mode on the monitor it is displayed on in the first place. But on which monitor is gnome-terminal displayed? Using the geometry parameter, you can specify width, height, and x/y offset:
gnome-terminal --geometry WidthxHeight+Xoffset+Yoffset

...where the offsets are specified in pixels, but width and height are specified in number of columns and lines, respectively. The window will never span multiple monitors and will be placed on the monitor that would contain the biggest part of the window if it spanned multiple monitors.
In your case, despite 0 offset, you made the window 1680 columns wide, which is why it was placed on the middle monitor.
When you want to display the terminal in full screen anyways, use the smallest possible dimensions to ensure that it is placed on the correct monitor in the first place:
#left monitor:
gnome-terminal --geometry 1x1+0+0 --full-screen

#right monitor:
gnome-terminal --geometry 1x1+3600+0 --full-screen

Android News / Android News / YouTube Auto-Caption Now Describes Sounds
YouTube Auto-Caption Now Describes Sounds
By Daniel Fuller
YouTube's automatic caption generation feature has been in the spotlight lately due to some serious improvements, and the newest improvement gives the service a basic ability to pick up and interpret non-vocal sounds. Right now, the range of sounds is quite limited, with basic things like audience applause, laughter, generic music tags and the like being covered for now. Like any other technology involving machine learning, of course, this will improve over time as Google's engineers tackle issues like determining whether it's a doorbell, cell phone, or alarm ringing, and as the machines behind the algorithms pick up more and more information from successfully deciphering videos.
The new ability, while still basic in scale and compatibility, is already going public on some videos, such as the one attached below. In the video below, a pair of dancers earn applause and Howard Stern's coveted golden buzzer, and if you switch on captions, their music and the audience's uproarious applause earn the recognition of YouTube's automatic caption system. The stream of sounds comes right alongside the usual stream of auto-captioned speech. The captioning happens mostly automatically, but during this formative period for the new capability, Google's engineers will be keeping a close eye on things to look for chances to improve the service. It should go without saying that this ability, for now, is only on a small amount of videos, all of which were already eligible for automatic captioning.
YouTube's automatic caption system recently hit a huge milestone, with over 1 billion videos captioned. The system's machine learning and neural networking backend is improving by the day, and this newest addition to its growing repertoire is a telltale sign that Google is buckling down and getting serious about automatic captioning on YouTube. The timing for ramping up YouTube's features could not be better; the service is in the midst of a crisis of sorts surrounding its advertising, and both direct rival video services like Vimeo and more niche options like Twitch are beginning to gain ground on the internet video giant. For now, YouTube remains the de facto home of user-generated video content on the internet.

The Credit Hire Organisation (CHO) has signed an agreement with law firm Hill Dickinson to ensure that insurance claims data will be preserved for use by its members, in the wake of Keoghs acquiring Hill Dickinson's insurance business.
The Keoghs deal is set to happen at the end of January 2018, but Hill Dickinson also owns the Netfoil anti-fraud database, which is widely used by credit hire companies.
Netfoil holds over 240m records, relating to around 12.5m insurance claims and 150,000 new records are added a month.
Each record can hold up to 200 different fields of relevant information. It claims to be the largest privately owned relational database in Europe.
Its primary source of data is the claims and accident management industry, but Netfoil also imports claims and policy data from insurance companies, Lloyd's syndicates, self-insured fleets, self-drive hire businesses, legal expense insurers, politically exposed persons and sanctions data, Companies House and other open source data sets.
Kirsty McKno, a leading Liverpool litigator and chair of the CHO, which represents the credit hire industry, said there had been a concern that this data could be lost.
Kirsty McKno, chair of the CHO, which represents the credit hire industry, said there had been a concern that this data could be lost.
Verius will be headed by James Bilham, who previously managed the Netfoil data provider relationships for Hill Dickinson.
Mr Bilham said Netfoil had contributed to the prevention, detection and management of insurance fraud for the benefit of both insurers and CHCs.
Ms McKno added that, following this agreement, the CHO has also opened discussions with the Insurance Fraud Bureau to explore further opportunities for data sharing.
"Preserving the data previously held in Netfoil, and working with Verius, ensures that there is a service for the CHCs to use to reach this common goal, while enabling discussions to progress with the bureau.

The accommodation was wonderful, clean, and kitted out with what we had requested. Welcome pack was very informative and gave all required details from how the boiler works, to emergency numbers, hospitals, GP surgeries and pharmacies in the area, various places of interest in and around Lincolnshire. The cottage itself is disable friendly and ample space for four people, lovely double bedroom, walking shower plus a bath tub, another twin bed bedroom, spacious kitchen/diner. The back garden was lovely, there is enough room for entertainment as well as a heated swimming pool. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.
We drove to Helsey House Cottages and parked outside the cottage. There is ample parking spaces outside the cottage. There are only two cottages on the property and the main house.
The signage to the property was visible. There are no steps from the parking into the cottage. There are no steps into and around the cottage. There is a walk-in shower and if you need a shower chair, it will be provided. The extra items you need can be requested when making the booking.
The bathroom and loo are combined. There is a raise seat on the loo. The door into the bathroom is big and can accommodate a wheelchair easily, the bathroom itself is huge; has a walk in shower, no steps to get into it, has hand rails, there is also a bath tub, and a hand rail next to the toilet.
The staff were very welcoming, helpful and on hand if you needed anything.
I would definitely recommend it to other people. In fact we went there after receiving a recommendation from other people who had visited and we in turn have recommended someone who has already made a booking and going in the next two weeks. It was a wonderful experience and we will be going back again.

Springer Awakening
What's better than a robot that could transform into an alternate mode? Why, a robot that could transform into TWO alternate modes of course! This is eactly what the Transformers guys thought of coming into the 3rd year of the toyline. So in 1985, the new Transformer "triple-changer" concept was born! The concept turned out to be quite a hit despite the fact that limited technology (and creativity?) actually just delivered another "brick" that transformed into 2 different looking bricks.
Anyway the first year of triple changers brought us 2 Decepticons, Blitzwing, who transformed into a tank or a jet, and Astrotrain, as his name suggested, transformed into a space shuttle and a train. And they have gone on to be two of the more recognizable Decepticon characters (at least to the casual fan). A year later, the Autobots followed suit with 3 of their own triple changers, Springer, who transformed into a car & helicopter, Sandstorm, another helicopter & dunebuggy, and finally Broadside, who was a jet and an aircraft carrier.
Maybe it was because he was the only one included in the first animated Transformers movie, or maybe it was the fact that he was the only decent looking toy among the three, but only Springer managed to gain any semblance of popularity while his to fellow bots simply faded into obscurity.
In the movie, Springer was introduced as some bad-ass warrior with a huge sword. Many say the first Transformers movie's plot was a blatant rip-off of Star Wars. If it was, then they tried to peg Springer as the Han Solo to Hot Rod's Luke & Arcee's Leia….the 3rd corner of the robot love triangle if you will. Well whatever the case would be, he managed to make a lasting impression on many fans including myself and so Springer the character has continued to maintain a respectable presence in the various Transformer comic iterations and in the toyshelf as well.
Since the original toy, Springer has had quite a few "newer" toys released, unfortunately pretty much all of them have ditched the whole triple changer gimmick and have kept him mostly as a helicopter, although every now and then a car and even once an osprey I believe. And to make matters worse, most of these "new" toys were actually other characters that the designers decided to paint green & yellow and rename Springer…just for the easy buck.
Instant Springer.....just add green
So its quite ironic that the best modern rendition of Springer isn't actually officially a Transformer. Meet Warbot Defender from Fansproject. I think I touched upon Fansproject in an older post. Anyway Fansproject was one of the first "third party" groups made of Transformers fans who took it upon themselves to make Transformer toys that they were not getting from Hasbro. They first started with accessories to compliment existing official Transformers, but eventually they figured they could do a lot more.
Warbot Defender…or "not" Springer was their first official FULL transformable robot and it was one hell of a debut. While they couldn't market this dude as Springer, for obvious legal reason..for all intents and purposes the guy IS Springer, in all his original triple changing glory. And unlike his original toy, he looks amazing in all THREE modes, although I have to say the transformation is a bit figity, the end result however is pretty close to perfection. Just slap on an Autobot sticker on his chest and you're good to go!
The really nice thing about this toy is that it is pretty obvious the guys at Fansproject put a LOT of thought into his design. And they added a few extra features that weren't really necessary but ultimately make him so much cooler. Case in point, aside from his trademark sword (that turn into his helicopter blades), he's got twin pistols that he can tuck in neatly into holsters on his legs. And when he decides to wield them, his arms have just enough articulation for you to actually get him to draw out his pistols from his holsters on his own!
This year Hasbro finally introduced a new upcoming Springer toy. He's an all original mold, and a triple changer that actually looks decent in all three modes. Unfortunately it's a little too late for them. Warbot Defender has taken his place on my toyshelf as my official Springer. And I don't see him relinquishing his spot any time soon.
Just slap on an Autobot sticker and you're good to go!

Isn't this sweet? So pretty! I think it might be a Bunny Hill Pattern…this is one I actually don't have…but I look at it every time.
Barb brought this to me and she just lets me quilt however….and I just had fun adding feathers, swirls and pretty designs.
This next one is a genius way to use a panel. She took a Christmas panel and cut it up and then framed the squares with attic window blocks. Pretty clever.
I kept the designs whimsy, snowflakes, stars, wood grain in the window and curls in the border. So much FUN!!
Thanks Barb! I love your projects!
Where can a person by the pattern for the Tea & Sugar & Santa's Window? Size of quilt?3 Very festive, and would love to make for Christmas.

Teresa Tobin
San Diego, Texas
With one final deep and satisfied breath, Teresa Tobin, 90, passed away on Sunday, June 10 and rejoined the man she loved for 75 years. A lifetime resident of San Diego, Texas, Teresa grew up with the freedom that comes from growing up in a small, close knit town – running the streets of Duval County with her seven siblings.
On February 7, 1943, at 15 years old, she married Dan Tobin, Jr. and their 53-year adventure began. They had 5 children: Marie Allie, Greta, Danny Boy, Catherine, and Michael, and their deep bond and commitment helped see them through the loss of 3 of them. Polio claimed Greta (4) and Danny Boy (3) and Catherine died shortly after child birth. Dan died in 1996 and, consistent with much of their marriage, he has been patiently waiting on her ever since.
Teresa was the ultimate matriarch, offering her unconditional love, comfort food, and uncensored opinions freely and often. Without ever having to utter the word "feminism," Teresa strongly believed in the power of a woman, yet had the rare and natural confidence to know the deep satisfaction that came with being an accomplished homemaker, wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an immaculate housekeeper until her four-legged loves, Kiki and Gizzie, took over her heart and her home. Whether in a mink coat or a baseball cap, she was the epitome of style and grace. Never one to forget a gift or a thank you note—she also regularly gave her children and grandchildren the gift of a personal, handwritten letter. She was an amazing cook, a voracious reader, and (as with all good citizens of Duval County) she loved to share her thoughts on politics.
Classic elegance, South Texas independence, and the importance of family are lessons she passed on to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Fortunately, she never learned of Miguel Barrera's death. He was her first born grandchild and very special to her.
Now that she has retaken her husband's grateful hand, we will continue to honor our "Mom" by keeping alive her adventures and lessons with each passing generation. We will also grieve the profound loss of an era, of an icon…and of one of the last portals to our childhood.
Teresa is preceded in death by her parents Daniel U. Garcia, Sr. and Gregoria Benavides Garcia, her husband Daniel Tobin, Jr., her young children Greta Ann Tobin, Daniel Tobin III, and Catherine Tobin, grandson Miguel D. Barrera, siblings Jose S. "Checo" Garcia, Daniel U. Garcia, Jr., Frank J. Garcia, Margarita Garcia, and Leila Canales.
Teresa is survived by her children Michael (Sally) Tobin of La Vernia, Marie Allie (Santiago) Barrera Jr. of San Diego, brother Luis A. "Poncho" (Alice) Garcia of Corpus Christi; her loving grandchildren Jose (Roxann) Barrera, Greta (Pete) Guerra, Michael Patrick (Venessa) Tobin, Jr., Catherine (Bob) Hilliard, Laura (O'Dan) Sanchez, and Jay DeLaCruz; great-grandchildren Aissa (Rachel) Barrera, Alexia (Ray) Vela, Andres J. Barrera, *Pete A. (Marissa) Guerra, *Tobin Daniel Barrera, Gabriela Barrera, *Miguel Santiago Barrera, *Sergio Daniel Guerra, *Jorge Gabriel Guerra, Brenna O'Dell Barrera, Pate (Zachary) Pizzini, *Daniel Patrick Tobin, Corrigan Eilis Tobin, Allie Danielle Salazar, Tobin Grace Hilliard, *Michael Delmar "Del" Hilliard, Emily Hilliard, Alex (Brittani) Hilliard, Carl Hilliard, and Robbie Hilliard; great-great-grandchildren Ariella Rose Vela, Isabella Marie Vela, Lucas Benjamin Barrera, Sophia Isabella Sanchez, Z.J. Pizzini, and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Sonia Perez and the entire staff at La Paloma Nursing Home for their patience, support, and care over the last few years.
Visitation will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 15, 2018 at Mauro P. Garcia Funeral Home in San Diego with a Catholic Rosary recited at 7 p.m. that evening. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday June 16, 2018 at St. Francis de Paula Catholic Church and Christian burial will follow at the San Diego Cemetery. Mauro P. Garcia Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements.

Microplastic Contamination Found in Most Major Brands of Bottled Water Globally
Direct link to article: http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/microplastic-contamination-found-most-major-brands-bottled-water-globally
According to a recent study's findings, 93 percent of bottled water showed signs of microplastic contamination averaging 10.4 large (> 100 um) microplastic particles per liter of bottled water. The tests included brands like Evian, Aquafina, and Dasani.
A recent study from the State University of New York at Fredonia titled Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water was part of a project involving original research and reporting by the US-based journalism organization Orb Media. The study looked at 11 globally-sourced brands of bottled water including Aquafina, Dasani, Evian, Nestle Pure Life, and San Pellegrino along with other leading international brands. In total 259 bottles of water were processed across 27 different lots purchased from 19 locations in nine countries. According to the study's findings, 93 percent of bottled water showed signs of microplastic contamination averaging 10.4 large (> 100 um) microplastic particles per liter of bottled water. While smaller microplastic particles were found (6.5-100 um) averaging 325 particles per liter.
Fragments were found to be the most common type of microplastic particle (66%), followed by fibers (13%) and films (12%). The table below, taken from Fredonia's data analysis, shows the polymeric content of the particles discovered.
The recent bottled water study used newer methods for faster and more accurate detection of microplastic contamination. Bulk sampling, density separation, filtration/sieving and visual identification have been the most commonly employed methods for research into the occurrence of plastic pollution. However, such methods are both time-consuming and hold the potential for misidentification. Several recent studies have shown the use of Nile Red (NR) as an accurate stain for the rapid detection and measurement of microplastics.
Part of the impetus for Fredonia's bottled water study was as a follow-up to the first global tap water survey of plastic pollution to have been completed a year prior in 2017. For the tap water study, a total of 159 tap water samples were collected from eight distinct regions of the world during the first three months of 2017. The study found when comparing plastic contamination in tap water by region, the United States and Lebanon had the highest percent of plastic detected. What is perhaps more shocking is that in comparing both the 2017 tap water study and Fredonia's recent bottled water study, the State University of New York authors commented, "We found roughly twice as many plastic particles (>100 um) within bottled water as compared to tap water on average (10.4 vs. 5.45 particles/L)"
Interestingly in February 2018, one month before the results of the recent bottled water study was made public, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released its draft report on the toxicity findings of the common chemical in plastic called bisphenol A or BPA. According to data from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 93% of Americans six years and older had detectable levels of BPA in their urine. Despite countless global studies over the years pointing to BPA's negative impact on human health, the NTP's new 2018 report found BPA was unlikely to be harmful to people in the doses usually seen. It should be noted that the NTP report relied solely on rat studies to come to their conclusions. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deputy commissioner said in a statement "Our initial review supports our determination that currently authorized uses of BPA continue to be safe for consumers,". Was the NTP's report an attempt to quell the rising tide of academic and public findings as well as the growing consciousness around widespread plastic contamination of our food and water? The NTP's findings are still in draft format with the data published online. The NTP is currently accepting public comment.
Fredonia's bottled water study has also spurred the World Health Organization (WHO) into action. A day after the microplastic contamination results went public, the WHO announced that it would launch a review into the risks of plastics in drinking water. Bruce Gordon, coordinator of the WHO's global work on water and sanitation, told BBC News, "The public are obviously going to be concerned about whether this is going to make them sick in the short term and the long term." Whether or not WHO's involvement into the microplastic contamination issue will move the needle towards the positive is debatable given their past history of questionable public health campaigns such as their multi-year anti-fertility vaccination program in Kenya.
What can be concluded from the recent bottled water study? Perhaps first and foremost, despite tight marketing campaigns and clever advertising slogans, there may be no perfectly pure, uncontaminated bottled water on the market. Encompassing the 2017 global tap water study, it also appears that the idea of safe, clean tap water is a long-foregone myth with microplastic contamination as just another one of several impurities continually being discovered. Despite the best assurances by our public health officials, many are understanding we have a real problem with access to clean water both in the US and globally. With each subsequent study spotlighting water contamination, the importance and availability of clean water is racing to the forefront of global attention and concern.

Rakomelo liqueur from Crete island 250ml.
> Homemade>Wine & spirits>Rakomelo liqueur from Crete island 250ml.
This excellent racomelo we supply comes directly from Crete. It is mellow with a delicious flavor which is due to the combination of raki, thyme honey, spices, and aromatic herbs of the Cretan mountains. All the above renders racomelo the characteristics of a pleasant drink to enjoy at any time during the day but especially following dinner accompanied with fruits or nuts.
The Cretan racomello is an alcoholic drink.Its main ingredients are thyme honey, raki, cinnamon, cloves and Cretan herbs. Racomelo is a characteristic and traditional Cretan drink which is offered to visitors and guests as a treat. The history of racomelo goes back seven centuries in the monasteries of mount Athos where it began as a medicine made by the monks for sore throats, colds, cough and even stomach upsets.What remained was stored in bottles in order to be used as treats for the guests. Over the years the racomelo of Mount Athos was spread by the sailors to the islands of Amorgos, Crete, and Karpathos. Usually, racomelo is drunk hot as a shot but also cold as a digestive after a good meal. Racomelo can be added in green salads mixed with raisins and nuts or poured over baked apples. It could be used also as an aromatic of biscuits.

Q: Time limit on the execution of a mathematical model
I have a mathematical model that takes a long time before returning the solution.
Is it possible to insert a parameter that blocks the execution of the model after a certain time? I would like it to give me a result even if it is not excellent.
I'm programming with Python and to optimize I use Gurobi.
Thank you!


Advanced PO add-on introduces new sales entity Purchase Order(PO). In bare UDropship, Magento shipment records serves as PO. Advanced PO add-on extends dropship with support of virtual/downloadable products with a lot more flexibility in managing POs and shipments.
Almost all automatic functionality in the UMarketplace Extension triggers by the status change of either order, PO or shipment. Automatic PO creation stick to that model too.
Second one, orders need to be placed using one of the carriers, either dropship or split-rate.
Missing above requirements will lead to the situation where POs will not being created automatically. If dropship carrier is disabled all together, POs will not be created at all, even manually.
One of the two key features of the Advanced PO add-on is an ability to create partial POs and shipments. Another key feature is an option to create PO's by clicking on the button in the right top corner Create PO in the Admin section of the order view page.
Create PO page looks similar to Magento native pages where Invoices and Creditmemos are created. Item qty selected on this page for which PO's are created. In case Multivendor add-on is used, target vendor can also be selected.
Advanced PO add-on in combination with Multivendor add-on possess quite useful feature, reassigning existing PO to another vendor. The PO status needs to be changed to canceled in Purchase Order History box in PO view page.
If shipments were already created in that PO, either Full Cancel or Nonshipped Cancel checkbox needs to be checked. Full Cancel checkbox will change PO shipments status to canceled, even if shipments have Shipped or Delivered status.
Nonshipped Cancel checkbox will cancel only non-shipped non-delivered shipments.
Once existing PO canceled, order items status also updated by changing qty POed field and those order items are ready to be included in new POs. Click on Create PO button on order view page, to select new vendor and order items qty click submit and new POs generated.
POs have to be generated and shipment records created in order to fully process the order. Vendor can accomplish this in vendor portal dashboard order view box using Create shipment box.
The great flexibility here is ability to create partial shipments using Partial Availability selectbox, where vendor need to select Ship Partial and set required qty.
In addition, vendor can generate shipping labels by checking Generate Label checkbox. These 2 features work in sync.
Making partial shipment will sync weight/value parameters of Generated Label form.
Very important to note that labels can be generated only using FedEx, UPS, USPS system shipping methods.
In case vendor shipping methods configured using other carrier methods for actual shipments, vendor will not be able to generate label.
Select carriers, which vendor uses to generate labels for, in Configuration > Drop Shipping > Vendor Options > Always allow generate labels for these system carriers. In Vendor Portal Generate Label Shipping Method parameter selectbox will be populated with selected carriers methods. In order to use that carrier for label, just select require method.
If vendor forgot to generate label, when shipment created or want to generate extra label, there is an option to generate label from shipment view box. After vendor created a shipment it will be included in the list of POs shipment which located under Order Items table. Shipment IDs have a link that lead to PO shipment view box, where vendor can change shipment status and generate labels.
By default PO's strictly statuses are Shipped, Delivered, Canceled.
Vendor cannot change PO status to shipped unless shipments created for all items and all shipments statuses have shipped status.
The same process applies to Delivered PO status. To fully cancel PO, shipments have to be canceled as well (there will be a checkbox Full Cancel when PO status changeed to Canceled).
Another Advanced PO add-on's feature is shipments auto-invoicing.
this will work, if payment method used by customer to order, implement partial capture (there are very few of them: PayPal website payments Pro, enterprise edition payment bridge).
this option will invoice(capture) the whole order.
Later option will be a better fit, if there no orders that need to be only invoiced partially e.g order split between 2 vendors, hence we have 2 POs in order and both POs need to be invoiced, but order payment method does not support ability to capture them separately.


In a small bowl, combine the mustard, honey, 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours.
Drain and discard marinade from chicken. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in remaining oil on all sides. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, saute mushrooms with cooked bacon until tender. Remove to set aside. Add chicken breasts to skillet, top with mushroom and bacon then cheeses and green onions.
