A's Pitcher Bats Cleanup vs. Yanks
Kendall Graveman pitched 6.1 innings last night as the Oakland A's beat the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium by a score of 5-2. The right-hander allowed one earned run and registered eight strikeouts, but it wasn't his work on the mound that made history...
Yes. Graveman got to BAT. In an American League Stadium. He was also batting fourth and is the first pitcher to hit in that spot since 1920 and Babe Ruth.
Here's what happened:
Danny Valencia started the game at third base for the A's, but left the game with an injury. Simple enough. So, the A's moved Chris Coghlan from second to third. Also simple enough. But the A's then moved Jed Lowrie from the DH position to second.
When you remove the designated hitter and insert him into the field, you insert your pitcher into the lineup. Because Graveman was entering the lineup for Valencia, he enters in his spot, which was cleanup.
He struck out in his lone plate appearance.
Graveman made further history:

Q: Arranging People In A Row-Explanation There will be 8 people, arrange them in a row in a way that 2 must need to seat side by side, so the answer is $7!*2!$ but I get the same answer while using the following formula $ {\frac{8!}{2!*2!}} $. I cannot find a clear explanation about how the formula work.

A: The explanation of $7!\cdot 2!$ is simple. You can arrange the people in two steps.

*

*First, take the two that must seat side by side as one person. You now have $7$ people and $7!$ possible ways to do this.

*Once you picked the arranging od $7$ people, you have to replace the "pair" person with two people. You have $2!$ ways to do this.

The explanation of $\frac{8!}{2!2!}$ is even simpler. Take an example when you would have $9$ people instead of $8$. Then you would have $8!\cdot 2!$ ways to do this, but $$8!2!\neq \frac{9!}{2!2!}.$$ Basically, the fact that $\frac{8!}{2!2!}$ is the same as $7!2!$ is merely a coincidence.

Con Edison Delivers Record Electricity in 2007
NEW YORK, NY, Jan 07, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) announced today that the company delivered a record amount of electricity to customers in New York City and Westchester County in 2007, spurred largely by the region's growing economy.
Last year's usage of 62,591 gigawatt hours (GWh) eclipsed the record of 61,608 GWh set in 2005, and is more than 23 percent higher than the 50,837 GWh used in 1997.
According to the latest available national data, Con Edison's record delivery surpasses the annual electrical usage of the entire state of Colorado (49,734 GWh) or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (55,850 GWh) in 2006.* That same year, electrical usage in Con Edison's service area was 60,627 GWh.
A gigawatt is a rate of energy production equal to 1,000 megawatts. One megawatt can power approximately 1,000 homes. Peak electric demand in New York City and Westchester County in summertime has been growing annually by about 200 megawatts, the equivalent of powering an additional 200,000 homes per year.
New construction and increased use of new electrical devices, including flat-screen televisions and associated on-screen games, computers, and various handheld gadgets, as well as record numbers of home offices, are all part of downstate's prosperity and contribute to increasing use.
Even as the country's overall energy needs continue to grow, Con Edison urges customers to conserve, and offers energy savings tips on the company's Web site at http://www.coned.com/go_green/100tips.asp.
Con Edison has the largest underground electrical system in North America with 94,000 miles of underground cables, enough to wrap the earth 3.6 times. The company also maintains 36,000 miles of overhead cables.
Con Edison expects to spend $7.5 billion over the next five years on its electric delivery system to maintain reliability and support the significant economic growth projected for its service area.
Con Edison is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE: ED), one of the nation's largest investor-owned energy companies, with approximately $12 billion in annual revenues and $28 billion in assets. The utility provides electric, gas, and steam service to more than 3 million customers in New York City and Westchester County, New York. For additional financial, operations, and customer service information, visit Con Edison's Web site at www.coned.com.

Hroznová ulice na Malé Straně v Praze spojuje ulici U Sovových mlýnů a náměstí Na Kampě. Název ulice je odvozen od domu U Zlatého hroznu na čísle 2. Na západní straně vede můstek přes kanál Čertovka na Velkopřevorské náměstí, kde je slavná Lennonova zeď. Je to nejstarší můstek přes kanál zvaný můstek u Velkopřevorského mlýna. Novší název je "Můstek zamilovaných", protože tu zamilované páry nechávají zámek a klíč hází do vody podle tradice z italského Milvijského mostu. V barokní stavbě Hummelův dům na čísle 1 bydlel významný český výtvarník, spisovatel a režisér animovaných filmů Jiří Trnka.

Historie a názvy
Od středověku byl prostor ulice u řeky využíván na stavbu mlýnů. V první polovině 12. století za vlády českého knížete Vladislava I. tu maltézští johanité vybudovali Velkopřevorský mlýn. Původní název ulice byl "Na Kampě", současný název se používá od roku 1870 podle původně renesančního domu U Zlatého hroznu, barokní přestavba přidala severní a jižní křídlo a v roce 1853 byl rekonstruován ve stylu klasicizmu.

Since most individuals who checks the web would just usually browse over the pages and not read them thoroughly, make the information concise and easy to understand.
For the websites design, it should be kept minimal and simple that the colors should not be too bright for your eyes. The background should also be consistent with the other pages of the site to there is smooth flow from one page to another and the website will be well put together.
Naturally you would want the best medical website design so always hire a website designing company who concentrates on medical or website design.

Foreclosed Homeowners Sue Mortgage Giants
Matt Reynolds / December 22, 2011
LOS ANGELES (CN) - In a federal class action, foreclosed homeowners sued Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other "leading providers of residential real estate mortgages," claiming their disregard for underwriting standards caused the mortgage meltdown, which brought more than 930,000 foreclosure filings in the third quarter of 2010 alone.
IndyMac Bank and Countrywide Financial are among the host of mortgage originators named in the 101-page complaint, which seeks damages for the 11 named plaintiffs whose "credit ratings and histories were damaged or destroyed."
"The fraud perpetrated by the originator defendants from 2000 through 2009 was willful and pervasive," the complaint states. "It began with simple greed and then accelerated when said defendants discovered they could not sustain their businesses, unless they systematically and significantly reduced their underwriting standards and created increasingly complex, esoteric, and high-risk loan products to induce plaintiffs and other borrowers into ever larger loans on increasingly risky terms. As the originator defendants knew from no later than 2004, these loans were unsustainable for the borrowers and to a certainty would result in a crash that would destroy the equity invested by plaintiffs and other California borrowers. Further, those actions would cause the high risk pools of mortgages the originator defendants had sold to Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and/or trusts to default on a nationwide scale. ...
"It is now all too clear that this was one of the ultimate high-stakes fraudulent schemes of the last decade. Couched in banking and securities jargon, the originator defendants deceptive gamble with consumers' primary assets - their homes - was nothing more than a financial fraud perpetrated by the originator defendants and others on a scale never before seen."
The complaint adds: "Over the last four years, the United States has been in a foreclosure crisis. In late 2009, a congressional oversight panel noted that one in eight U.S. mortgages was in foreclosure or default.
"For the third quarter of 2010, national foreclosure filings - default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions - were reported on 930,437 properties in the 3rd quarter. One in every 139 U.S. housing units received a foreclosure filing in that quarter."
The plaintiffs accuse the defendants of "purposefully hindering" mortgage modifications under the Home Affordable Modification Program, "to exploit a given pool of mortgages for maximal profitability."
In addition, the plaintiffs say, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosed on properties "knowing that under California Law no default to the holder of plaintiffs' and others notes actually existed."
"In typical mortgage securitizations, mortgages are added together with other mortgages and a pool of mortgages is created. The resultant pool of mortgages is then sold to a trust and/or REMIC which becomes the actual owner/holder of the note and/or mortgage.
"As such, the note-holder cannot enforce the default provisions of said note unless a default to said note-holder exists. ...
"As such the plaintiffs' and others mortgage payments were in fact received by the actual note-holders and no enforceable defaults existed at time of foreclosures."
Lead plaintiff Tom Casault claims that IndyMac made a loan that placed him in "a financial position of extreme likelihood of failure."
Casault describes himself as a "professional real estate investor [who] owned 150 approximately 150 properties across the United States, all of which were mortgaged."
He claims that IndyMac knew that "Conventional underwriting standards at the time would not allow plaintiff to own more than 12 mortgaged properties at once and no cash-out refinance transactions were allowed on investment properties being used as security for a mortgage loan."
The plaintiffs are represented by Khinh Yam of Long Beach.
They seek damages for violations of California's Predatory Lending Law, of the California Business & Professions Code, of the California Civil Code and its Commercial Code.

Paulina Gretzky is a beautiful woman for sure, but there is so much more about her that makes her one of the most popular personalities. A famous WAG after she engaged to her long-known beau and ace golfer Dustin Johnson, Paulina keeps on sharing head-turning moments. Besides, it is also her last name 'Gretzky' that makes her even more popular. She is the eldest daughter of Canadian ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky (who is often referred to as "The Great One") and American actress, Janet Jones. Her dashing good looks definitely keep her on the top of the chart, but she is not just a pretty face. The blonde beauty started modelling around 2005. Paulina has even released a song and appeared in films like 'Grown Ups 2' (2013), 'Fame' (2009), Girls and Gambling (2012), and more. Singing and songwriting is her first love and she has had major record deals in the past. Paulina is also a momma. After getting engaged to Dustin, the model gave birth to two sons: Tatum Johnson and River Jones Johnson. Ever since the couple started dating, golf fans have been eagerly waiting for the pair to exchange vows—which might happen anytime soon. According to the latest reports, Paulina and Dustin's wedding is on the card but an official date is yet to get decided. While we might have to wait a little more for that BIG day to arrive, let us take a look at these pictures that show just how gorgeous Paulina really is! (All photos: Instagram)

Yes, Georgetown/Scott County is a dapper destination, but did you know it has something of a checkered past?

Here are some fun facts about the famous, the infamous and the fabulous in Georgetown.

The glass containers unit of Hindustan Sanitaryware & Industries Ltd, AGI Glaspac, plans to increase its capacity by 68% at an estimated cost of Rs210 crore, says its president Arun Kumar Dukkipati.
AGI says it expects an additional annual revenue of Rs200 crore because of the capacity expansion. The investment would be funded by about Rs150 crore in debt.
AGI manufactures glass bottles and jars for the liquor, beer, pharmaceuticals and food and beverages industries. It has a capacity of around 950 million containers per annum and the proposed expansion would add a capacity of 650 million containers.
Hindustan Sanitaryware itself is part of the Somany Group, which makes building products and glassware. Building products accounted for about 51% of annual revenues, or Rs267.1 crore.
The Indian glass container industry, estimated at Rs1,500 crore, has been growing at around 8% a year, while AGI posted a compounded annual growth rate of 21% for the last four years and has a market share of around 18%, which it says will go up to 25% once the new capacity comes on line.
The new facility, at Bhongir, some 45 km from here, is set to open before March.
The liquor and beer industry uses 45% of India's glass container production, followed by pharmaceuticals at 22%, with soft drinks, cosmetics and food contributing the rest. AGI expects its exposure to the liquor and beer industry to rise substantially from 35% at present.
"Most of our key customers in this segment are ramping up their liquor and beer capacities... implying a steep rise in demand for our products," says Kumar.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 22/10/2019
After touring the Middle East, from Lebanon to Iraq, Turkey and Jordan, in search for the top Syrian-led startups in the region, the Startup Roadshow is taking 10 finalist startup teams to pitch at the finals in Amman on 4th November 2019.
The event will be held on November 4th, at the Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC), in Amman's Business Park, and will host high-profile speakers, entrepreneurs, investors and development practitioners.
Organized for the second year by Jusoor and SPARK in partnership with Startups Without Borders, the Startup Roadshow is the world's first competition for Syrian entrepreneurs in the Middle East. The competition kicked off in September 2019, scouting and training startup teams in 5 key cities in the Middle East: Beirut, Amman, Erbil, İstanbul, and Gaziantep.
The competition included a series of live digital mentorship sessions, and will conclude in a final pitch competition where 10 finalist startups will battle it out for cash prizes of $15.000 in the first place, and $10.000 and $7.000 for the second and third place respectively. The 3 winners will also get a chance to travel to Amsterdam, and present their startups on the global stage during SPARK's Ignite Conference 2019.
The 10 startups that will be flying to Jordan for the finals are: Smart Budget (Beirut), Jellyfish (Beirut), Tdallal (Erbil), LeftSaver (Erbil), Therapy House (Gaziantep), Spermly (Gaziantep), Uders (Istanbul), Salt and Sugar (Istanbul), Medicine Box (Amman), and Sufha (Amman).
The Final Demo Day is open to the public, and will feature panel discussions, educational sessions, and a networking event. The event will kick-start with an educational session by Patrick Bosteels, Co-Founder of CoderDojo Türkiye, who will discuss what success looks like for a startup: from incubators, to funding, to accelerators.
After a presentation about the Startup Roadshow, the event will feature a panel on refugee-lens investing and impact investment, featuring prominent figures in the startup landscape in Jordan and the Middle East, including Khaleel Najjar, from Mercy Corps, and Rasha Manaa.
Many studies show that refugees are more likely to start businesses than locals, given the fact that taking the risk of moving to a new country and start a new life is an entrepreneurial endeavor in itself. Seeking to empower their attempts to thrive, the panel will look into how investment firms and individuals can create a positive impact by investing in refugee-led startups to help them secure a stable life and having a direct effect on the local economy, focusing on refugee-lens investing as a new frontier to impact investment.
The panel will also invite key players in the Jordanian and Middle Eastern startup ecosystem, including Oasis500, Flat6Labs, Shamal Start, Propeller, Badia Impact Fund, Silicon Badia, Rimal Capital, 17 asset management, and Tech Wadi.
The panel will be followed by a fireside chat with Karim Samakie, Trainer and Advisor of Jusoor Syria and Saleem Najjar, a Syrian entrepreneur and one of the winners of the Startup Roadshow 2018 .
After the speeches, the 10 championing finalists will take to the stage to pitch their startups, in front of a jury that will award the 3 most promising entrepreneurial endeavors. Up for grabs, there are cash prizes of $15.000, $10.000, and $7.000 for the 3rd place winner, as well as the chance to pitch on the global stage in Amsterdam, during SPARK's annual conference, Ignite.

Home Cryptocurrency Regulation SEC Drops the Hammer on Blockchain of Things Inc (BCOT)
SEC Drops the Hammer on Blockchain of Things Inc (BCOT)
Blockchain of Things Inc (BCOT) is not challenging the SEC's decision.
David Abel
The United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has levied a fine of $250,000 on the Blockchain of Things Inc (BCOT).
The regulatory commission fined Blockchain of Things Inc (BCOT) for conducting the sale of unregistered tokens (ICO). Besides, the startup agreed to refund investors who notify the firm they want their money back.
The official statement from the SEC reads: "Pursuant to the order, BCOT undertakes to return funds to those investors who purchased tokens in the ICO and request a return of the funds."
According to BCOT, its main objective is to ensure that developers get the option to create their cryptocurrencies. Also, to transfer and use them. However, the SEC sanctioned the platforms for not registering the ICO properly.
It's a security, says SEC
The SEC deems ICOs a form of security and must be registered. Accordingly, the regulatory agency had warned BCOR about this. It had even cited the investigation on DAO carried out in 2017.
However, BCOT went ahead regardless and raised about $13 million in December 2017. Particularly, the startup permitted four resellers to offer tokens in foreign countries, which in turn resold the tokens to U.S. investors. This factor played a major role in the SEC's final decision.
BCOT to follow proper procedure
The SEC also mandated BCOT to register its tokens as securities "pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934." Also, the company will have to file required periodic reports with the Commission.
BCOT already accepted the order without admitting or denying the findings.
In case you missed out on earlier news, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted the New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) permission to offer shares to institutional investors.
Besides, the SEC has recently changed its Head of Cyber Security.

OROP suicide row: Rahul Gandhi detained again after meeting victim's kin
New Delhi [India], Nov. 2 : For the second time today, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi was detained after he met the family of ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal, who allegedly committed suicide over the delay in implementation of the One Rank, One Pension (OROP).
Earlier today, Rahul was stopped close to the gates of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and then taken to the Mandir Marg Police station.
A political storm has erupted over the development, as parties are making a beeline to meet the victims' family and are facing massive resistance from the Delhi Police, who are carting away the leaders in droves.
Issuing a statement in its defence, the Delhi Police asserted that they were reduced to detaining political leaders as they had to take law and order into consideration.
"During protest by Political parties at RML Hospital today, none has been arrested. When leaders along with the crowd started gathering at RML and Medical services got severely affected and orderliness deteriorated, the police requested them to move away.
Despite several requests when they didn't move and refused, the leaders and protesting followers were removed to Police stations and detained.
All concerned are requested to help Delhi Police in maintaining peace and orderliness," the statement added.
Besides Rahul, Congress leader Jyotirao Scindia has also been carted away by the Police while several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders are protesting outside the Parliament Street Police Station here, where Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is being held.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also detained at Lady Harding hospital, while he was leaving to meet Grewal's son.
Expressing displeasure at the detention of Congress and AAP leaders, the Trinamool Congress stated that its representative is on his way to the national capital to chime in the developments.
Taking to Twitter, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said it was very sad that a former jawan committed suicide, adding that it was unfortunate that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were stopped from visiting the bereaved family.
"They should be allowed. Our representative is on his way to Delhi," she said. Rahul Gandhi, who was detained today after he tried to meet the kin of Grewal, lashed out at the Delhi Police for arresting the former jawan's family besides himself.
"You have arrested the son of an army veteran. Why have you done that? Aren't you ashamed? What kind of work are you doing?," Rahul can be seen saying to the cops in the footage from his detention inside Mandir Marg Police station.
Expressing his ire over not being allowed to meet the Grewal, Rahul took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over this bizarre development.
"Let's see how long I have to wait here. I am certain that I will talk to the family. This is a strange behaviour. This is Modi's ji's country," he told ANI after being denied permission to visit the Hospital. However, Special Commissioner Mukesh Kumar Meena told the media here that Rahul Gandhi has been detained for trying to enter the hospital despite being advised otherwise.
"It is a hospital and not a place for demonstration. Rahul Gandhi detained at Mandir Marg Police Station for 'disruption of duty'. Democracy doesn't mean creating obstruction. Leaders must also understand that hospital is not the place to hold any demonstrations," he added. Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was also 'forcibly removed' from the hospital premises after he went to meet the grieving family.
He later tweeted, "I had gone to the hospital to meet the family of the ex-serviceman, not to launch a dharna.
What mistake have I done?" Taking to Twitter, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, "Manish Sisodia detained? He had gone to meet family of deceased Ram Kishan ji.
He is elected Dy CM. Whats wrong wid u Modiji? So insecure?" Grewal consumed poison last afternoon. However, the cause behind Grewal's suicide is yet to be ascertained. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has sought details of the incident from the department of ex-servicemen welfare.
"Saddened by the death of subedar Ram Kishen Grewal. I express my heartfelt condolences. I have asked officials to provide me with details," Parrikar tweeted..

1997 Infrequent Flyers Dumbarton (Inverleven) Single Cask No.178 22 Year Old Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Lowlands, SCOTLAND
Also known as 'Inverleven', Dumbarton was built in 1938, just south of the Highland border near Glasgow and for a while was the largest operation of its kind. Classified as a lowlander by Michael Jackson, production was predominantly set aside for the Ballantine's blends. When bottled by Indies, Dumbarton is typically the label for grain whisky. Inverleven the single malt, but it's not a rule. Nowadays stocks are "undeniably rare".
The notable feature of the plant was its American-style stainless steel columns (rather than the traditional Coffey stills). A focus on maize, meant its spirit was rather heavy in character. In 1956 a third Lomond still was added with an attached rectification column designed to produce different styles of spirit. The distillery was decommissioned in 1985, though its column still was salvaged by Bruichladdich to produce its now famous 'Botanist gin'.
Matured for over 22 years in virgin oak, this rich, oily, flavoursome whisky is reported to be reminiscent of an exceptionally old Bourbon - packed with sweet vanilla and bold, woody spice. 202 bottles were released at 55.3% ABV. Obvious collector appeal here with next to nothing allocated.
Notes from the bottler... Colour - Burnished copper. Nose - Sweet and lightly floral, with strong aromas of almonds and marzipan. Taste - Nutty, woody and aldehydic. Walnut whip with grainy undertones. A chunky slice of Battenberg cake. Oak resin, Madagascan vanilla and honeycomb. Finish - Mid-length, creamy, sweet and oily.


Earlier today, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital surfaced on Herbalife's (HLF) conference call. Below is a transcript of the questions the hedge fund manager asked and the company's responses. Herbalife is multi-level marketing company focused on selling weight management and nutritional supplements via 2.7 million independent distributors.
Einhorn: Right. But just trying to understand this clearly, if I sell toa customer, I bought it - I'm a supervisor, I buy at a 50% discount, I sell to a customer, I make 50 points, if he pays the full price. If he signs up with a distributor and buys it himself, he gets a 25% discount and I get seven points as a royalty. Is that how it works?
It seems as though he's trying to determine how many actual retail buyers of the product (end game users) are out there versus the distributors. The stock was down 20% today as traders postulated that Einhorn was short or thinking about shorting the company. He has not disclosed a long or short in HLF.

Transportation, agriculture edge out electricity as Minnesota's largest emissions sources
Elizabeth Dunbar
ListenWhat's keeping Minnesota from reaching its climate goals?

Minnesota is still failing to meet its goals aimed at addressing climate change, and it's transportation and agriculture — not coal — that are holding us back, according to a biennial emissions report by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency released this week.
The 2007 Next Generation Energy Act, which passed with bipartisan support, set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels across Minnesota's economic sectors 15 percent by 2015, 30 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by 2050.
According to the MPCA report, Minnesota's emissions have gone down 12 percent through 2016, the latest year for which emissions data are available.
"Emissions from the electricity generation sector were down nearly 30 percent in that time frame. We're just not seeing reductions across the board in other sectors that allowed us to meet the goal," said Todd Biewen, who oversees the MPCA's environmental analysis and outcomes division.
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and hydrofluorocarbons. Carbon dioxide accounts for more than 70 percent of Minnesota's emissions, according to the report.
NASA's ClimateKids:Meet the greenhouses gases
Cars, trucks and other gas-powered vehicles together now produce more greenhouse gas emissions than power plants. While the state still relies heavily on coal, a quarter of the state's electricity now comes from renewable sources, and that percentage will go up in future years as utilities retire more coal plants.
Agriculture emissions — both from fertilizing row crops and raising livestock — are also significant. The report lists agriculture as the state's No. 3 emitter, but for the first time, the MPCA included negative carbon emissions from forest regrowth in the report's agriculture section. Without the negative emissions from forestry as an offset, agriculture's emissions would roughly match those produced by transportation and electricity, at about 40 million tons of CO2 or the equivalent.
"Those are the big three," Biewen said. "Minnesota was a leader when we set our goals 10 years ago, but now, as some have said, we need to catch up a little bit on that."
"It's really important to understand where the emissions are coming from so that we can target where we need to make the reductions," he added.
The good news, he said, is that Minnesota's emissions are going down despite significant economic growth and a growing population.

Posted January 17, 2012 at 2:40 am in chatchat.
A quick update on this cat game, then. This is one of the five "smaller" games I mentioned in my new year's post. Been working on it a bit this week.
It's taken me a long time to realise it, but I think the game is fundamentally broken in its current form – and I don't think there's any way to make it work without scrapping everything and starting over. I'm not sure why I stuck with it this long, actually – it was never something I was all that excited about. I think I mostly just liked the cat thing.
Anyway, I figure I'll just put together a quick chat room thing at CB2 tomorrow with the code from this, and move on to something else.
If you were still going to stick with this, I'd want to see a variety of verbs used for the kitty attacking instead of "attack." Things like, "scratch," "bite," "claw," etc.
Oh well. I guess this means more free time to spend on the other games.
My new year's resolution was not to start any new projects – haven't done that yet!
"I'll just put together a quick thing tomorrow" is rarely an accurate prediction coming from any programmer.

Tumblrfascism
07-05-2015, 03:09 AM, (This post was last modified: 03-05-2016, 04:19 AM by Nuke.)
Emperor of All the Internet
Ru: R€18,543.710
The SJWs are actually a variety of Fascist. Here's some basic proof.
Look at the Wikipedia page on Fascism, and click anchored links to find out anything you don't understand. (fourth paragraph, with a greater degree of modification than the first three)
Tumblrfascism is a radical form of authoritarian social justice that came to prominence in early 21th-century America and Northern Europe. Influenced by labor unionism and earlier civil rights movements, tumblrfascism originated on LiveJournal during the administration of George W. Bush, in opposition to liberalism/libertarianism, mainstream Leftism, anarchism and traditional conservatism. Tumblrfascism is often placed on the far-left within the traditional left–right spectrum, but some academics call that description inadequate.
Tumblrfascists identify the Occupy movement and the legalization of gay marriage as revolutions. It brought revolutionary changes in the nature of society, the state, and technology's role in the world. The advent of the Internet and total mass communication of society had broken down the distinction between ordinary person and ideological activist. An "ideological citizenship" arose in which all citizens were involved with the Ideology in some manner during the Continuing Revolution. The Internet had resulted in the rise of potential for new movements capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines or provide economic production and logistics to support the Continuing Revolution, as well as having given States unprecedented ability to intervene in the lives of citizens. Tumblrfascists view the Internet as having made previous democracy obsolete, and regard total mobilization of society led by a totalitarian single-party state as necessary for a nation to be prepared for anti-oppressive continuation of the Revolution. To respond effectively to economic difficulties, such a totalitarian state is led by a Consensus — such as an illiberal democracy controlled primarily by anti-oppressive movements composed of the members of the governing Tumblrfascist party — to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Tumblrfascism rejects assertions of violence automatically being negative in nature and views political violence, war, and interventionism as means that can achieve universal social justice.
Tumblrfascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving worldwide justice through selectively protectionist and interventionist economic policies. Within GamerGate, few parties have openly described themselves as Tumblrfascist, and the term "SJW" or Tumblrfascist is usually used pejoratively by political opponents.
Tumblrfascism's theory of economic multiculturalism involved management of sectors of the economy by government or privately controlled groups. Each ethnicity or identity corporation would, theoretically, represent its professional concerns, especially by negotiation of contracts and the like. This method, it was theorized, could result in harmony amongst social classes. Authors have noted, however, that de facto economic multiculturalism was also used to reduce opposition and reward political loyalty.
Multiculturalism became influential amongst SJWs led by largely by Feminists and LGBT advocates, but also by anti-racists supporting primarily aboriginal/native, Hispanic, and African peoples against perceived oppression by Asian and White peoples. Affirmative action gained much popularity as the prototype of a "multicultural state", having displayed much within its tenets as a consensus system combining the concepts of autonomy and authority in a special synthesis.

Meanwhile, a guy in her econ class proves his worth the first night she meets him. Nothing like her popular ex or her brainy tutor, Lucas sits on the back row, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. At a downtown club, he disappears after several dances that leave her on fire. When he asks if he can sketch her, alone in her room, she agrees-- hoping for more. Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that they've hooked up.

Beware Harmful Tax Measures That Endanger Crypto's Future
Dmitry Demidko
When Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, lawmakers included a measure to require stricter reporting of capital gains on crypto. Since 2014, the IRS has made clear that cryptocurrencies are "property," and therefore subject to federal taxes. But, due in no small part to the cryptographic nature of these assets, crypto investors have been notorious for dodging their tax bills. The IRS believes that unreported taxes on crypto amount to tens of billions in lost revenue.
Ostensibly to help offset the costs of the massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, Congress decided to subject digital assets like crypto to further reporting requirements in an attempt to collect this revenue. To do this, the law defines "any person who...is responsible for regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets" as a "broker" under the tax code. Federal law requires brokers to report the name, address, and gross proceeds of any transactions they facilitate to the IRS.
The issue with this new reporting scheme is not so much that Congress wants to tax crypto. Rather, crypto investors and the industry at-large object to the overly-broad definition of "broker" as wholly unworkable, and for good reason. As Lawrence Zlatkin, Global VP of Tax at Coinbase, told Cointelegraph, "This [loose definition] will harm innovation and stifle the potential of a hugely important technology at its earliest stages of development...Tax policy should be thoughtful and deliberate. Broad overreach is a regulatory mistake."
Without major changes, the new reporting requirements for digital assets could seriously harm the future of this fledgling industry.
As written, the new definition would apply strict reporting requirements up and down the entire crypto stack, even where it makes no technical sense. Miners, for example, who use computers to verify crypto transactions, certainly "effectuate transfers of digital assets," and would presumably be subject to the reporting requirements. But they have no access to the information required to report the transactions they facilitate, leaving them in a Catch-22.
When the Senate was first considering the infrastructure bill back in August, Senators Wyden, Lummis, and Toomey reached a bipartisan consensus on amended language that would have fixed the definition of broker. Unfortunately, this amendment was doomed by the objection of Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) over a separate issue related to military spending. Now that the infrastructure package has been signed into law, Senators Lummis and Wyden are once again attempting to clarify the new definition to avoid stifling the crypto industry. This time, they are joined by Rep. Patrick McHenry - Ranking Member on the House Financial Services Committee - and a bipartisan group of ten House cosponsors.
S. 3249 from Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and H.R. 6006 from Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), would refine the flawed redefinition of "broker" targeted at the crypto industry.
S. 3249 and H.R. 6006 are far from companion bills, but both seek the same end: clarifying the ill-conceived definition of broker. S. 3249 does this through a rule of construction. The bill states that "any person solely engaged in the business of" validating crypto transactions (i.e. mining), selling hardware or software to control private keys (i.e. unhosted wallet providers), or "developing digital assets or their corresponding protocols" (i.e. crypto developers) are not to be considered brokers.
H.R. 6006, dubbed the Keep Innovation in America Act, takes a broader approach. It changes the definition of broker found in the infrastructure package to read: "any person who (for consideration) stands ready in the ordinary course of a trade or business to effect sales of digital assets at the direction of their customers." The important distinction here is that H.R. 6006 focuses on the "sales of digital assets" rather than the "effectuating [of] transfers." The House bill also makes other, less consequential changes to the definition of "digital assets," the timeframe of implementation, and return requirements for certain transfers. Also notable, the Keep Innovation in America Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to produce a report analyzing the "effect of expanding the definition of cash" to include digital assets.
Having just been introduced amidst a flurry of Congressional activity, the path forward for both of these new bills is unclear. With Congress scrambling to wrap up their current priorities before the holiday season - an agenda that includes must-pass legislation like next year's budget and national defense authorization - it is highly unlikely that either bill will see a vote before next session. However, the mounting pressure from investors, lawyers, and outside organizations means that this issue is not going away anytime soon. What's more, the fact that the law doesn't take effect until the end of 2023 gives Congress plenty of time to take up one or both of these bills.
The crypto industry deserves regulatory clarity, and the current definition only adds to the existing confusion. Either of these bills presents a preferable alternative to the current definition. More importantly, the bipartisan nature of both measures demonstrates that there remains a strong willingness in Congress to address the issues of the existing law. Regardless, if Congress is serious about protecting the crypto industry from broad regulatory overreach, they should take up these measures post-haste and work out the details in conference.

Home/Stocks/Buy 'gift horse' Danaher while it's down, but leave room for other stocks, Cramer says
Buy 'gift horse' Danaher while it's down, but leave room for other stocks, Cramer says
CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday advised investors to buy shares of medical diagnostics and health technology company Danaher while it's down, warning that it won't stay that way for long.
"Danaher's a great American company with a stock that was trading at $280 before it reported that fantastic quarter yesterday morning. Even though the quarter was really good, the stock's now at $265," the "Mad Money" host said.
"You're not just getting the quarter for free; you're getting it for less than nothing. Danaher is a gift horse down here. Don't look it in the mouth; just take it. But leave room, as this horrible market is creating tremendous buying opportunities, but only on the way down," he added.
Danaher reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings in its latest quarter, assisted by its Covid testing business.
Calling Danaher a company that is "suited for this moment," Cramer blamed the stock's recently poor performance on investors' misperception of the company and the market's general tumultuousness.
"While Danaher has been slandered as a Covid winner, the truth is I think the stock will do much better as we put Covid in the rear-view mirror. … Plus, once Danaher finishes lapping the peak in Covid testing, its earnings growth should accelerate again," he said.
However, "it's not like Danaher's testing business will totally vanish. Covid is here to stay — it's becoming an endemic disease that we'll be stuck with for the foreseeable future. So, we're going to need Covid tests for a long time to come," he added.
Cramer also highlighted Danaher's profitability — a characteristic he's maintained is crucial for a firm to be investable — as well as the company's acquisitions in recent years.
"Thanks to its strong core business, Danaher's been printing money over the last couple years, to the point where their relatively clean balance sheet gives them a lot of room to make acquisitions … it's a consummate deal-maker," he said.
Disclosure: Cramer's Charitable Trust owns shares of Danaher.

Thug who doused Katie Piper with acid in 2008 released from prison, sparking security concerns for the star
Strictly Come Dancing star Katie Piper's acid attacker has been released and back in the city where he committed the despicable act.
By Kunal Dey
Published on : 14:51 PST, Oct 13, 2018
Katie Piper was left with horrific injuries after being the victim of a vicious acid attack. Now, the thug who doused her with the same has been released from prison, prompting authorities to surround the star with security personnel.
30-year-old Stefan Sylvestre was warned not to step foot in a designated "exclusion zone" around Katie's home as he was released from Highpoint jail, Suffolk. According to The Sun, Strictly Come Dancing's decision makers have given the green signal to cover 34-year-old Katie with extra security.

Sylvestre was sentenced to a minimum prison term of six years back in 2009 before he would become eligible for a parole hearing. A devastated Katie Piper told her fans in August that she was coming "to terms" with the fact that her attacker was being released. Katie was left partially blind, with severe scarring to much of her body after Sylvestre attacked her with sulphuric acid in Golden Green, North London, on the orders of Daniel Lynch, her former partner, in 2008.
Lynch was an obsessed fan who dated Piper briefly before raping the aspiring model and presenter. After they broke up, he ordered Sylvestre to attack her with acid. He was jailed for life after a trial the following year, with a minimum of 16 years at the age of 33. On the other hand, Sylvestre, then 20 years old, received life in prison with a minimum term of six years before his parole.

Piper, now a mother-of-two, is starring on Strictly Come Dancing, ten years after the horrifying ordeal. A source told The Sun: "Sylvestre's license conditions include an exclusion zone which bars him from an area around Katie's address. Any attempt to go near the Strictly studios in Hertfordshire would almost certainly also see him returned straight to jail. But although Sylvestre is banned from contacting Katie in any way, the simple fact that he's back in London will be of great concern to her."
Katie had to undergo almost 40 operations after the sulphuric acid was thrown at her face. Despite the Justice Secretary's representatives advising the panel to move Sylvestre to an open prison, the Parole Board recommended his release. That said, the thug is banned from contacting Katie and will have a curfew 24x7. However, his hostel will be in London, the same city his victim resides in.

Congressman: GSA officials absent from hearing 'have ducked'
A panel of House members voiced frustrations Aug. 1 that senior General Services Administration officials could not testify at its hearing about employee bonuses and conference spending.
Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he tried three times to schedule a hearing with GSA officials. But nothing worked out. Acting GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini had a family engagement scheduled for today, and Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Steve Kempf took a medical leave beginning on July 30 and scheduled for two months.
At a hearing held August 1, Mica apologized to Cynthia Metzler, chief administrative services officer at GSA, for her having to face the committee members' questions about GSA's spending alone. The questioning ran for about two hours.
"The others have ducked and hidden for cover," Mica said.
Metzler told the panel that Tangherlini had reached out to the committee to request that this hearing be rescheduled at a mutually convenient date so that he could personally appear, but was informed that the committee was electing to proceed with today's hearing knowing he would be unable to attend. She said Tangherlini is willing to work with the committee.
The hearing centered on an awards ceremony in 2010 that cost that cost $268,732. The GSA Inspector General is investigating the awards ceremony. According to preliminary findings, the event was held at the Crystal City Marriott in Arlington, Va., and officials spent more than $35,000 for 4,000 "time temperature picture frames," $20,000 for catering charges as well as paying for a violinist and guitarist.The spending reflects the fiasco that erupted in April over the Western Regions Conference in 2010 in Las Vegas.
GSA's current senior officials, including Tangherlini and Kempf, will have a chance to testify eventually. "They will not be let off the hook," Mica said.
Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) said her constituents include GSA employees and they have relayed their frustration, as they do their job diligently. The profligate spending that the IG has uncovered is "disgusting and it's not worthy of the taxpayer," she said. "It's not worthy of the citizens of this country, and GSA needs to get its house in order."
Edwards praised Tangherlini's efforts to change GSA spending habits, but "he needs to be in front of this committee," she said.
GSA IG Brian Miller would not answer some questions on the ground that his office is in the midst of investigating the award ceremony.
Metzler said that since April, GSA officials have required justifications for holding conferences and other events, in order to avoid over-the-top spending.
Members also brought up their frustrations with bonuses GSA hands out to many of its employees. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), the committee's ranking member, recommended that Miller look in-depth at bonuses.

Lewis Hamilton feels Max Verstappen 'has a problem'
Max Verstappen makes subtle dig at Lewis Hamilton in April
Lewis Hamilton believes Max Verstappen "has a problem" with him despite the seven-time champion admitting he "respects" the Dutchman. The Mercedes star admitted the Red Bull star could have an issue with him due to the age difference between the pair.
However, Hamilton added he "assumed" there wasn't any bad tension ahead of the new season. He stressed claims of a fall-out between the pair after the controversial Abu Dhabi season finale in 2021 were just "fairytales".
Speaking to Formule 1 Magazine, Hamilton said: "People like to talk about there being problems between Max and me. I respect him. He is a lot younger, so maybe he has a problem with me. But I am not sure about that and I actually assume not. Although I can't speak for him."
The pair were embroiled in a tense championship battle in 2021 with three major on-track clashes. The season ended in controversial circumstances with Hamilton losing the title on the final lap of the last race.
However, the Mercedes driver has always pointed the finger at the FIA and race director Michael Masi instead of Verstappen. The pair have been seen congratulating each other after races and interacting on the podium.
Most recently, the pair were seen shaking hands at the Mexican Grand Prix in October. Verstappen seemed to stir rumours of a rift when he revealed Hamilton doesn't refer to him by his name.
He even hinted that much of Hamilton's success was down to his Mercedes car while praising the Briton. He commented: "People have told me he doesn't use my name. I was always taught that you have to respect what people have achieved in sport.

"I have no problem with what Lewis has achieved. He is one of the best ever. I know it is not only the car he has been driving. That helps." Hamilton's latest comments also come months after Red Bull boss Christian Horner suggested Hamilton has never praised Verstappen.
Horner added that Hamilton was shaken by Verstappen who had "nothing to lose" in comparison to the F1 legend. He explained: "I have never once heard Lewis recognise Max's ability so, of course, there was just a little more needle to it. You could see that and sense that between those two drivers.
"I think [Verstappen was in] Lewis' head, because he's a seven-time world champion… he has everything to lose. Max is the young kid that's taking the risks, that's throwing everything at it and has got nothing to lose."
