The Launchpad is a series that introduces Mashable readers to compelling startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.
One-Liner Pitch: NationSwell is a new digital media company focused on high-quality stories about the people renewing America.
Why It's Taking Off: With a team of seasoned journalists and advisers across various spaces, NationSwell not only identifies the innovators moving the country forward, but also drives social action in support of their efforts.
When Greg Behrman returned from military deployment in Afghanistan a year and a half ago, he was excited to start a new company with roots in national service. After reading about American decline and the challenges the country faces, he wanted to find out who was actually engaging these issues with the most exciting, dynamic solutions.
But it was harder than expected to find progressive pioneers. "There wasn't really that go-to place — that platform, that community, that experience — that focused exclusively on identifying those people and showcasing their efforts with great storytelling," he tells Mashable.
Now, as founder and editor-in-chief, Behrman hopes NationSwell can be that go-to place. The site's strict focus on American renewal promises a multimedia hub of innovators across the U.S., all of whom put national progress at the forefront of their ideas.
Since its soft launch into beta on Dec. 9, the site has featured numerous compelling stories, including profiles of a former Navy SEAL who founded a non-profit that donates clothing kits to wounded soldiers, and a foundation working to reform the prison system. One of NationSwell's original videos, about a doctor who makes house calls to homeless people, was recently featured prominently on Upworthy's homepage, and also picked up by the Huffington Post.
The digital media company's mission is twofold, marrying this kind of content with social action. "If a reader or viewer experiences a story and is inspired by it, there's a way for him or her to take action and do something to support the innovator or cause. And in that way, he or she provides a mechanism to enter the story, and become a part of the story," Berhman says.
An example of NationSwell's Take Action element.
The team put a lot of thought into the site's social action aspect, wanting it to be at once effective, impactful and user-friendly — all while flowing as seamlessly with the editorial experience as possible. A "Take Action" button sticks to the left side of a given story as you scroll down; once you reach the end of the story, the button expands to give more information about the action you can take.
The story about the doctor who helps the homeless, for example, gives readers the option to donate to the Street Medicine Institute. It met its goal of $500 within five days, and has raised a total of nearly $1,200 at this time of writing.
In addition to making those kinds of micro donations, the site's social actions include signing petitions and signing up for emails. In the future, Behrman says there will be chances to do a wider range of actions specific to innovators' individual initiatives.
NationSwell coverage, a mix of original features and curated posts, pinpoints the key issues in the U.S. at the present moment — people who are enhancing socioeconomic mobility, advancing national service, working toward education reform, protecting the environment and much more.
"We don't do politics at all, but we're really interested in stories about people who are doing things that...make government work more effectively, and deliver more responsibly to citizens," Behrman says.
The site's strength lies in part with the small but well-rounded team. The company hired Cathy Sharick, former managing editor of TIME.com, and reporters from The New York Times, TIME and POLITICO. It also has advisers from Upworthy and Facebook, and recently hired Serena Roosevelt, former executive director of business development at New York Media, as NationSwell's general manager.
Though it's based at the Center for Social Innovation in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, Behrman says NationSwell isn't focusing on New York, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C., as much as other outlets are.
"We subscribe to the notion that the towns, cities, and states throughout our nation are these really exciting laboratories for innovation. And to that end, we have a network of about 100 freelancers throughout the country," he says. There are also full-time staffers based in Delaware, Georgia and elsewhere.
For the NationSwell team, everything comes back to mission — finding people on the cutting edge of solving America's challenges, and supporting them. That's why it launched the NationSwell Council, a membership network to mobilize innovators and the community, and provide an offline forum for more intimate, intensive engagement.
"We have 30 founding members, who are amazing people — leaders in business and finance, media, the not-for-profit world, and technology — and we do high-end events for them with the kind of innovators that we profile on the site," Berhman says. The events can be a breakfast, an intimate dinner, a cocktail party or some similar gathering where an innovator can discuss his or her mission.
It's based in traditional networking, but goes further by NationSwell following up each event with "impact notes," which provide interested members with an efficient and effective way to get involved. So far, the council has hosted events with the Center for America, the Franklin Project, Code for America and others. There will also be a dinner with Ben Rattray, founder and CEO of Change.org, in late February.
While NationSwell isn't disclosing traffic metrics yet, Behrman says the first month has shown great promise. In the second week after launch, a post about a creative solution to homelessness went viral, and currently has well over 800,000 unique pageviews and climbing.
He's also seeing great traction on social — the Facebook page currently has more than 50,000 likes.
"Most importantly, we have a very strong sense of mission and belief in what we are building," Behrman says. "We are really excited about this nice start — and our prospects for generating further reach and impact in the days ahead."

Q: ATtiny13A - Can't generate software PWM with CTC mode I'm trying to make a remote control RGB LED light using an ATtiny13A.
I know the ATtiny85 is better suited for this purpose, and I know I might not eventually be able to fit the whole code, but for now my main concern is to generate a software PWM using interrupts in CTC mode.
I cannot operate in any other mode (except for fast PWM with OCR0A as TOP which is basically the same thing) because the IR receiver code I am using needs a 38 kHz frequency which it generates using CTC and OCR0A=122.
So I'm trying to (and I've seen people mention this on the Internet) use the Output Compare A and Output Compare B interrupts to generate a software PWM.
OCR0A, which is also used by the IR code, determines the frequency, which I don't care about. And OCR0B, determines the duty cycle of the PWM which I'll be using for changing the LED colors.
I'm expecting to be able to get a PWM with 0-100% duty cycle by changing the OCR0B value from 0 to OCR0A. This is my understanding of what should happen:

But what actually is happening is this (this is from Proteus ISIS simulation):
As you can see below, I'm able to get about 25%-75% duty cycle but for ~0-25% and ~75-100% the wave form is just stuck and doesn't change.
YELLOW line: Hardware PWM
RED line: Software PWM with fixed duty cycle
GREEN line: Software PWM with varying duty cycle

And here is my code:
#ifndef        F_CPU
    #define        F_CPU        (9600000UL) // 9.6 MHz
#endif

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <avr/interrupt.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

int main(void)
{
    cli();

    TCCR0A = 0x00;                        // Init to zero
    TCCR0B = 0x00;

    TCCR0A |= (1<<WGM01);                 // CTC mode
    TCCR0A |= (1<<COM0A0);                // Toggle OC0A on compare match (50% PWM on PINB0)
                                          // => YELLOW line on oscilloscope

    TIMSK0 |= (1<<OCIE0A) | (1<<OCIE0B);  // Compare match A and compare match B interrupt enabled

    TCCR0B |= (1<<CS00);                  // Prescalar 1

    sei();

    DDRB = 0xFF;                          // All ports output

    while (1)
    {
        OCR0A = 122;                      // This is the value I'll be using in my main program
        for(int i=0; i<OCR0A; i++)
        {
            OCR0B = i;                    // Should change the duty cycle
            _delay_ms(2);
        }
    }
}

ISR(TIM0_COMPA_vect){
    PORTB ^= (1<<PINB3);                  // Toggle PINB3 on compare match (50% <SOFTWARE> PWM on PINB3)
                                          // =>RED line on oscilloscope
    PORTB &= ~(1<<PINB4);                 // PINB4 LOW
                                          // =>GREEN line on oscilloscope
}

ISR(TIM0_COMPB_vect){
    PORTB |= (1<<PINB4);                  // PINB4 HIGH
}

A: A minimal software PWM could look like this:
volatile uint16_t dutyCycle;

uint8_t currentPwmCount;

ISR(TIM0_COMPA_vect){
  const uint8_t cnt = currentPwmCount + 1; // will overflow from 255 to 0
  currentPwmCount = cnt;
  if ( cnt <= dutyCyle ) {
    // Output 0 to pin
  } else {
    // Output 1 to pin
  }
}

Your program sets dutyCycle to the desired value and the ISR outputs the corresponding PWM signal. dutyCycle is a uint16_t to allow for values between 0 and 256 inclusive; 256 is bigger than any possible value of currentPwmCount and thus provides full 100% duty cycle.
If you don't need 0% (or 100%) you can shave off some cycles by using a uint8_t so that either 0 results in a duty cycle of 1/256 and 255 is 100% or 0 is 0% and 255 is a duty cycle of 255/256.
You still don't have much time in a 38kHz ISR; using a little inline assembler you can probably cut the cycle count of the ISR by 1/3 to 1/2. Alternative: Run your PWM code only every other timer overflow, halving the PWM frequency.
If you have multiple PWM channels and the pins you're PMW-ing are all on the same PORT you can also collect all pins' states in a variable and finally output them to the port in one step which then only needs the read-from-port, and-with-mask, or-with-new-state, write-to-port once instead of once per pin/channel.
Example:
volatile uint8_t dutyCycleRed;
volatile uint8_t dutyCycleGreen;
volatile uint8_t dutyCycleBlue;

#define PIN_RED (0) // Example: Red on Pin 0
#define PIN_GREEN (4) // Green on pin 4
#define PIN_BLUE (7) // Blue on pin 7

#define BIT_RED (1<<PIN_RED)
#define BIT_GREEN (1<<PIN_GREEN)
#define BIT_BLUE (1<<PIN_BLUE)

#define RGB_PORT_MASK ((uint8_t)(~(BIT_RED | BIT_GREEN | BIT_BLUE)))

uint8_t currentPwmCount;

ISR(TIM0_COMPA_vect){
  uint8_t cnt = currentPwmCount + 1;
  if ( cnt > 254 ) {
    /* Let the counter overflow from 254 -> 0, so that 255 is never reached
       -> duty cycle 255 = 100% */
    cnt = 0;
  }
  currentPwmCount = cnt;
  uint8_t output = 0;
  if ( cnt < dutyCycleRed ) {
    output |= BIT_RED;
  }
  if ( cnt < dutyCycleGreen ) {
    output |= BIT_GREEN;
  }
  if ( cnt < dutyCycleBlue ) {
    output |= BIT_BLUE;
  }

  PORTx = (PORTx & RGB_PORT_MASK) | output;
}

This code maps the duty cycle to a logical 1 output on the pins; if your LEDs have 'negative logic' (LED on when pin is low), you can invert the polarity of the PWM signal by simply changing if (cnt < dutyCycle...) to if (cnt >= dutyCycle...).

A: As @JimmyB commented the PWM frequency is too high.
It seems that the interrupts have a total latency of one quarter of the PWM cycle.
When overlapping, the duty cycle is fixed given by the total latency, since the second interrupt is queued and executed after the first is exited.
The minimum PWM duty cycle is given by the total interrupt latency percentage in the PWM period. The same logic applies to the maximum PWM duty cycle.
Looking at the graphs the minimum duty cycle is around 25%, and then the total latency must be ~ 1/(38000*4) = 6.7 µs.
As consequence the minimum PWM period is 256*6.7 µs = 1715 µs and 583 Hz maximum frequency.
Some more explanations about possible patches at a high frequency:
The interrupt has two blind windows when nothing can be done, entering end exiting the interrupt when the context is saved and recovered. Since your code is pretty simple I suspect that this takes a good portion of the latency.
A solution to skip the low values will still have a latency at least as exiting the interrupt and entering the next interrupt so the minimum duty cycle will not be as expected.
As long as this is not less than a PWM step, the PWM duty cycle will begin at a higher value. Just a slight improvement from what you have now.
I see you already use 25% of the processor time in interrupts, so why don't you use 50% or more of it, leave the second interrupt and just pool for the compare flag. If you use values only up to 128 you will have only up to 50% duty cycle, but with the latency of two instructions that could be optimized in assembler.

Monday, Jan. 1, 2018
LA SIERRA GORDA, Queretaro, Mexico – Martha Isabel "Pati" Ruiz Corzo has spent her life fighting for the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, a national conservation area that covers one-third of the central Mexican state of Queretaro.
"The Sierra Gorda is a national treasure," says Ruiz, who was the federal director of the reserve for 14 years and now heads Grupo Ecologico, a nonprofit dedicated to its protection. "It is the last world preserve area in Central Mexico and a wildlife refuge that we judge sacred for life."
The reserve includes nearly 1 million acres of protected land where over 2,200 species of plants, mammals and birds have claimed sanctuary. Here, 10 of Mexico's 11 ecosystems co-exist. It is delicate and beautiful.
Ever-increasing numbers of people are coming to experience that beauty and, according to environmentalists like Ruiz, they can pose a major threat if not regulated carefully. But for ecotourism operators and some government officials, the reserve's popularity is a much-needed boon to the local economy and an opportunity to build sustainable businesses.
Environmental activists here are teaching residents to conserve natural resources and vying for government funding for their efforts. At the same time, tour companies are organizing increasingly popular all-terrain vehicle excursions, which environmentalists say are damaging river beds, flora and fauna. Local officials say they've been approached by developers who want to build a resort.
As these competing ventures move forward, it isn't clear who is actually in charge of protecting the reserve or regulating activity within it.
"It's like the Wild West," said James Hopkins, a professor within University of Arizona's Indigenous People Law and Policy Program. "There is no one single environmental enforcement agency in Mexico."

The need for a clear set of rules has taken on a sense of urgency as more travelers flock to the biosphere each year.
The picturesque mountain town of Jalpan de Serra – a gateway to the Sierra Gorda – is where the competing visions for the reserve collide.
Jalpan is a popular tourist destination. It boasts one the five Franciscan missions found within the biosphere. The mission, built in 1758, sits in the middle of the main plaza, bordered by old-world style buildings and cobblestone streets.
Jalpan is a three-and-a-half-hour drive from the state capital of Queretaro. The road dips in and out of vast arid deserts, lush jungles and pine oak forests similar to those of the Rocky Mountains in the United States.
"The distance to Jalpan is both a good and bad thing because we know the people who decide to make the journey are the ones who are really interested in going," said Lourdes Mora, the public relations director for Queretaro Secretary of Tourism Hugo Burgos Garcia.
The only thing government officials, environmental activists and locals agree on is that the reserve should not be completely unregulated or allowed to be overrun by tourists. Beyond that, there is a wide diversity of opinion about what should be allowed.
According to Mora, investors have taken an interest in making the region more accessible, offering plans for helicopter rides to bypass the long drive and upscale hotels for visitors. While these accommodations may entice more tourists, there is concern that such upgrades will detract from the unique culture of Jalpan, not to mention possible damage to the reserve. Still, local officials like Mora see the need for Jalpan to step up its game.
"We are not trying to turn Jalpan into a mini-Queretaro City," Mora said. "We want to keep the harmony of the place, but the service needs to be five-star."
Along with questions about development, growth in ecotourism over last decade has presented a new set of challenges and opportunities.

One of those opportunities is the chance for the reserve's local residents to earn more of their living from less environmentally damaging occupations.
"People here can make the same amount of money or more by focusing their attention on the special local resources," said Roberto Pedraza Ruiz, co-founder of Grupo Ecologico and Pati Ruiz's son.
Of the 100,000 or so residents scattered throughout 700 rural communities in the Sierra Gorda, the average annual income is only $2,500, or about $6.85 per day.
Prior to the rise of tourism, most biosphere residents held jobs considered harmful to the environment such as logging, cattle farming and mining.
Organizations like Grupo Ecologico are working to convince locals that conservation will lead to economic benefits. That's generally the motivation for locals to give up decades-old practices, experts say.
"The reason to protect the areas has to have an economic justification," said Kelly Bricker, director of the parks, recreation and tourism department at the University of Utah. "If there's not an economic reason to protect these areas, then it's likely they won't be protected."
To those ends, members of Grupo Ecologico travel to rural communities, introducing locals to alternative business opportunities available to them in their own back yards.
And some, like Flavia Luna and her family, have clearly benefited from the training. In 2008, Luna, along with four women in her family, attended a two-month long course on beekeeping. The class was one of a handful being offered at the time in the neighboring municipality of Arroyo Seco, about 45 minutes outside of Jalpan.
Within eight years, their single honeycomb box operation has grown to 42 boxes.
The family sells their product to tourists, businesses and residents within Jalpan and surrounding communities. Appropriately, the women named their operation La Miel es Vida, meaning "honey is life," as the bee operation now supports their families.
Before La Miel es Vida, the "five strong women," as they have become known, worked in cattle ranching and agriculture.

Grupo Ecologico has devoted decades to the development of ecotourism practices that are not damaging the environment. But turning ranchers and loggers into businessmen and -women is no easy feat.
"You need to have a long-term commitment to work with these partners," Pedraza says. "You also have to set the standards, teach them basic math and how to constantly improve their facilities without placing a debt on them."
According to Pedraza, establishing a realistic timeline for the business startup is crucial. He said it takes about five years to lay the groundwork and provide education and mentorship for their partners.
Teaching locals business concepts is key to eventual success, experts say.
"Ideally, if we want local people to benefit and get something out of ecotourism, they have to know how to become business people," says Kathleen Andereck, director of the School of Community Resources and Development at Arizona State University.
After years of effort, some of the region's poorest now receive steady income and are recognizing the correlation between preservation and compensation.
The hope is that well-managed ecotourism in the biosphere can support entire communities, not just single families.
One example, and a long-term labor of love for Grupo Ecologico, is the rural community of San Juan de los Duran, where views of mountains and cloud forest laid the foundation for a cluster of eco-lodges.
Nearly 15 years ago, the community of 280 was approached with a business offer: Allow the construction of cabins in exchange for pay to manage the property and its guests.
Within two years, the property was built. It consists of seven cabins complete with solar–powered lights, a recreation center, dining hall and an outdoor rain-fed swimming pool. At capacity, the cabins can hold 40 guests.

Primitivo Enriquez Hernandez, the head property manager, explains that the community's duties include providing meals, maintaining the grounds and preparing the cabins before and after a guest's stay. San Juan de Los Duran is paid directly as a community for the reisdents' services, which members have decided to put toward large projects' such as schooling. This year, they are saving for new water tanks to disperse throughout the village.
According to Ruiz, San Juan de Los Duran is one of 26 locations offering eco-lodging in the biosphere. Overall, there are more than 80 micro-ecotourism enterprises, and counting.
"The extremely impoverished now own the natural capital," says Ruiz. "They are gaining profit and that is the cherry on my cake."
But critics say not all enterprises embrace the same standards for environmental protection.
"Unfortunately, you can go to a lot of different places and see the destruction that has happened because of ecotourism and poor planning, management and enforcement," says Laura Perez-Arce, director of communications for Grupo Ecologico.
Adventure and mechanized tourism have become popular activities. About 30 minutes outside the quaint town of Pinal de Amoles at the Misión de Bucareli, "extreme tourism" attractions have exploded.
According to environmentalists, canyon rappelling has disturbed populations of rare macaws, lowering the migration numbers year after year. Zip lines stretch as far as 8 kilometers through once peaceful and untouched canopies. And all-terrain vehicles ride over forest floors and through river beds, disturbing habitats of aquatic wildlife.
"If this is what they are calling 'ecotourism,' then that's what we are fighting," said Bricker, the University of Utah professor.
Environmentalists contend that those activities don't conform to the International Ecotourism Society's definition of ecotourism: "Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education of both staff and guests."

They say ATV tours are the most damaging to the environment and don't really help the local economy.
Most of the tours are day trips that start from the city. Due to the time restraints of the excursions, tourists sidestep hotels and shops on their way to places like the Misión de Bucareli, where they consume food and drinks often brought with them from the city.
Mother and son Pedraza and Ruiz, who have spent most of their lives in the biosphere, have witnessed more than a decade's worth of these tours. Pedraza recalls his childhood spent playing in the rivers near Misión de Bucareli, but says returning now is "depressing" because of the obvious environmental damage.
Grupo Ecologico members have made their complaints known to the state secretary of tourism
Up until recently, the state government actually promoted four-wheeling activities in the biosphere. Perez-Arce claims as many as 400 four-wheelers have been seen in the Pinal de Amoles area in a single weekend, but after numerous complaints by locals and environmental activists, ATV tours near river beds were pulled from the state's offerings of tourist activities in the Sierra Gorda.
"Pati is a warrior," Mora said, explaining Ruiz and other Grupo Ecologico activists usually go to the secretary of tourism's office in Queretaro City once a month to voice concerns or offer suggestions.
Discontinuing the promotion of the ATV tours was an important step in the development of true ecotourism, the environmentalists say. But there are still no federal or state government regulations restricting or regulating the practice.

Grupo Ecologico leaders contend that ATV tours can be environmentally sensitive. They point to Aventurate, an ATV company based in Jalpan, where they say owners Osiris Olvera Olvera and Marcelo Benitez Trejo have made environmental preservation the basis for their company's decisions.
Tours offered range from nighttime star-gazing rides to trips into nearby mountains. Tourists are taken down designated ATV trails that are strategically out of earshot from Jalpan and avoid crossing any source of water. Most importantly, Aventurate limits tour sizes to around a dozen people.
Ruiz believes some progress is being made to both preserve the Sierra Gorda and help the region's residents but acknowledges there is much more to do, both through groups like hers and through government-established standards.
"We do as much as we can, but I wish we could do more," Ruiz Corzo said.

Enhancing the Way Total Points Evaluates the Running Game
By ALEX VIGDERMAN
Sports Info Solutions' flagship player value system, Total Points, has been upgraded again.
The incorporation of relatively new data points like defensive line techniques and the combination of initial and eventual run directions allow us to evaluate players on both sides of the ball with much more confidence as to who was involved on each play and to what extent. This new methodology combines new data points, improved evaluation strategies, and the usual tweaks and bug fixes that come every season.
Overview of the Methodological Improvements
Identify the blockers and relevant defenders based on the players' alignment and the run direction (both the designed run direction and the eventual run direction, where previously only the designed direction was used)
For the offense, divide responsibility for the yards before contact (plus expected yards after contact) so that the back has more responsibility if he is contacted late in the play and less if he is contacted early in the play. Previously the distribution was a consistent amount across all kinds of runs.
For the defense, estimate how likely each player is to have made the tackle given his alignment, and compare his actual results with that expectation. Tackles upfield are better than tackles downfield, and both are better than not making a tackle at all. Previously players who made a tackle downfield were losing value relative to not making a tackle, and players who did not make a tackle were not evaluated.
Details on the Methodological Improvements
Using both initial and eventual run direction
For the purposes of this discussion, a "bounce" is any run where the runner eventually ran to a gap further outside than intended, and a "cutback" is any run where the runner eventually ran to a gap further inside than intended.
This enhancement makes each run that features a bounce or cutback evaluated first based on the initial run gap (where the run was designed to go) and then again based on the eventual run gap (where the runner ended up going). The difference between those two evaluations is based on the number of gaps moved and the blocking scheme, treating any moves of at least three gaps as similar. Then, any evaluation of the initially-run-behind linemen is based on the change in expectation for runs with a similar bounce or cutback.
In most circumstances, a back bouncing a run outside or cutting it back means that the frontside linemen will be debited and the backside linemen credited. That's consistent with the idea that if the play develops as designed the blockers at the point of attack are likely to have done well. And typically, the blockers at the gap the back ends up targeting are doing a good job to allow the cutback lane. That said, for example, cutbacks of three or more gaps are better than most bounces or cutbacks, so the frontside linemen won't be debited as much (because a cutback isn't such a bad thing in that spot) and the backside linemen won't be credited as much (because the result isn't expected to be as bad).
Adjusting credit based on the yards before contact
SIS uses a stat called "adjusted yards before contact", which adds the expected yards after contact to the yards before contact on a play based on what typically happens on plays with similar blocking scheme and run direction. In the context of Total Points, the blockers on a play don't get credit beyond the adjusted yards before contact.
Adjusted yards before contact are now split into "first level" (YBC <= 5), "second level" (YBC between 6 and 15), and "open field" (YBC > 15). In allocating the EPA associated with adjusted yards before contact, the offensive line now receives 3/4 of the credit at the first level, half of the credit at the second level, and 1/4 of the credit in the open field. For runs that are stuffed where the rusher is contacted behind the line of scrimmage, the line is given 90% of the responsibility.
Here is an example of how reworking this breakdown affects how one would distribute EPA responsibility between the back and the offensive line, depending on the yards before contact on the run. The EPA shown is the value of the adjusted yards before contact.
The new system punishes the offensive line much more when the back is contacted early, and dramatically increases the back's responsibility for downfield yards.
Adding defensive technique data
Defensive alignment data informs which players were run toward, and correspondingly how responsibility for a run's initial success or failure should go to each player on the defensive front.
From 2019 forward the defensive alignment includes technique info for all down linemen. This allows for much more accurate judging of which defenders are most relevant.
To go with that, the alignment of defenders is now being considered along a continuum, where 0 is an outside cornerback on the offense's left, 1 is an outside cornerback on the offense's right, and anyone positioned between them has a number assigned based on their relative position. This makes it so that it's not assumed that all adjacent defensive linemen are the same distance apart, which helps handle the variety of fronts defenses employ. This is used for determining which defenders are most relevant for runs in a certain direction or blown blocks by a certain offensive player.
Refining how tackles are evaluated
Before the 2019 season, SIS overhauled its evaluation of tackling in the run game to allow players to be measured based on how their tackle compared to the average tackle on similar plays from a similar position. For example, a tackle made by a MIKE on a strongside run into a heavy box would be compared to the average tackle made in those circumstances.
One big improvement is using what's called a plus-minus system. We measure each player's odds of making a tackle using his alignment and the run direction, and every player is given credit or debit based on whether he made the tackle and how likely he was to make it. That plus-minus value—which will be positive for the tackler(s) and negative for everyone else—is multiplied by the EPA value of that tackle. For the non-tacklers, that EPA is the average result of similar plays, since we don't know where they would have made the tackle.
The plus-minus calculation described above is modified such that it's better to make a tackle than not, even if it was after a big gain.
Here is how this works out for two sample plays from last season.
Each player has a percentage that indicates how likely he was to make a tackle based on historical data, and a decimal value that shows how much value (in terms of EPA) he was credited or debited based on his tackling or lack thereof.
Please keep in mind that the positions of the safeties and off-ball linebackers are estimated based on typical locations for those players and are not the players' specific locations for that play.
Total Points Run Tackle Evaluation: Pitch to right D-gap for 30 yard run
On this play, the left safety is one of the more likely players to make the tackle, and he does so, getting some credit. Everyone else on the play is dinged slightly, with the linebackers punished most because they were the most likely possible tacklers.
Total Points Run Tackle Evaluation: Goal Line Power to right C-Gap for 0 yard gain
In this case, the left end plugs up the hole and tackles the ballcarrier at the point of attack, getting a decent chunk of credit. The other players get a very small demerit for not being involved on the tackle (even though it was very unlikely for the backside players).
It's worth noting that in both of these cases, any of the value that these players might have accumulated based on the yards before contact on the play (as described above) are carved out, so that there isn't any double-counting of responsibility for players on the defensive front.
In calculating the expected yards after contact on a run play, research suggests that yards after contact is higher when the runner is contacted early or late (and lower around the line of scrimmage). As a result, several tiers of yards before contact (e.g. 0-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6+) are now being used to determine expected yards after contact more accurately.
To ensure that there isn't double-counting when evaluating the defensive backfield and defensive front on a pass attempt, the value accumulated by the defensive front is subtracted from that of the defensive backfield when calculating Total Points. For example, if the defense forced two blown blocks and the quarterback attempted the throw under duress, the defensive backfield is punished more if the pass is successful and credited less if the pass is incomplete.
Over the last couple seasons, SIS has added several detailed route types, including a variety of screens (e.g. bubble, tunnel) which are quite similar to each other. In calculating how likely a throw is to be completed and therefore how valuable a completion or incompletion is, routes are now grouped into about a dozen categories, with screens being bundled as their own group.
Whose Evaluations Changed the Most?
Any of the new numbers can be found on the SIS DataHub. Let's take a look at some players who were notable movers due to our adjustments.
The Unanimous MVP is a Little More Unanimous
Lamar Jackson set the league aflame last year, winning the MVP award unanimously. Total Points disagreed with the assessment, as his rushing value wasn't enough to offset his merely above average passing value.
The funny thing was, if you looked at EPA on run plays (designed or scrambles), Jackson's runs were nearly three times as valuable as any other rusher, while Total Points didn't even have him as the most valuable rusher in the league.
The new update gives him more credit for his results, particularly on short yardage, and now he's comfortably the most valuable rusher in terms of Total Points.
2019 Rushing Points Earned Leaders
Previous Current
Lamar Jackson 28 46
Ezekiel Elliott 32 31
Nick Chubb 32 28
Chris Carson 25 26
Derrick Henry 22 26
That surge in rushing value puts Jackson a bit ahead of Aaron Rodgers, the previous leader in terms of Total Points (139 vs. 133). And considering he didn't play in Week 17, the gap in performance is a bit larger than that 6 point difference suggests.
Meanwhile, in 2020…
The changes in terms of rusher/blocker division of credit have an impact on big plays as well. The biggest gainers in terms of Rushing Points Earned line up quite well with the players who have had long runs where they were untouched into the open field. To illustrate, here are the players who have gained the most yards before contact beyond the first fifteen this season, and how their Rushing Points Earned change with this update.
Most Yards Gained After the First 15 Yards Before Contact, 2020 (through Week 15)
YBC Beyond First 15 Rushing Points Earned Change
Daniel Jones 130 +7
Miles Sanders 101 +12
Raheem Mostert 94 -7
Lamar Jackson 84 +15
Russell Wilson 70 -3
Kenyan Drake 67 +9
Kyler Murray 62 +19
Moving Defensive Backs Forward
Total Points used to lean its defensive back evaluation slightly in favor of those who made impact tackles in the running game, primarily because other defensive backs were being suppressed for their tackles (or lack thereof).
The new system no longer debits DBs for making a tackle downfield (after all, it's better to make a tackle than to not make one). As a result, the elite pass defenders bubble to the top in the updated DB rankings.
2020 Defensive Back Total Points Saved Leaders (through Week 15)
Previous Updated Change
Tre'Davious White 42 57 +15
Xavien Howard 47 55 +8
Malcolm Butler 35 53 +18
Carlton Davis 41 50 +9
Kyle Fuller 42 50 +8
Jaire Alexander 30 48 +18
What to Expect Next
These updates started as an offseason project to enhance how we evaluated run blocking, and (as projects tend to do) extended from there in a few different directions.
What kind of things can we expect from Total Points heading into the 2021 season?
Using timing data and drop types to better divide credit between the offensive line and quarterback (and defensive line and defensive backs)
Enhanced evaluation of quarterback accuracy (i.e. using overthrown/underthrown as well as catchable/uncatchable)
Using the depth of broken or missed tackles to better measure their value

After an eventful summer, Markieff Morris returns to the Wizards

National Basketball Association with an emphasis in covering the Washington Wizards.
Much about Markieff Morris has been defined by family and brotherhood. His personal mantra, F.O.E. (Family Over Everything), is tattooed on his body and displays above his stall inside the Washington Wizards' locker room. So on Thursday afternoon, when Morris casually strolled inside the Capital One Arena for the first time in several weeks, he felt the vibes of a family reunion.
"It's just like a brother going away for the summer and just coming back to his family," Morris said. "I'm in a great position. I just had a beautiful young daughter. I just had a successful surgery and of course, I beat the case. So I'm just happy to be back with my family."
Morris returned to the team following his acquittal in an aggravated assault trial in Phoenix, which also involved his twin brother Marcus Morris of the Boston Celtics and another man, Gerald Bowman. However, this homecoming has limitations as Morris must recover from surgery that repaired his abdominal wall. Morris expects to participate in light shooting as early as Friday, but over the next several weeks much of his time will be spent inside the trainer's room.
According to the recovery timeline from the team, Morris could possibly miss a month of the regular season. His absence has created a void in the Wizards' starting lineup, but his reappearance was welcomed by the team.
"He got some treatment with our guys, looks great, feels great. It's good to have him back, it's good to have him back in the building," Coach Scott Brooks said. "It's good to have him back with our guys. Our guys were excited to see him. He'll be around us from here on out. He's excited to be here and spend time with his baby girl, which is very important."
Morris's life-altering summer hurtled him along the emotional spectrum. From fatherhood ("It's cool, man") to spending weeks inside a courtroom ("like being in school and being lectured") and finally, undergoing surgery, Morris spoke candidly with reporters about his eventful month.
In early September, Morris became a father. He's already turned baby Jyzelle into a Dallas Cowboys fan, buying blue and white onesies for all 16 weeks of the NFL season.
"It's funny that I have a daughter now," Morris said. "It doesn't really hit you until you're actually waking up every morning or staying up every night caring for all her needs, man. She's beautiful and I love her to death."
By the time his daughter was born, Morris was already aware that he'd need surgery. In 2010, Morris had sports hernia surgery before his junior college season at Kansas. However, the way Morris described it, the current issue is not necessarily a repeat injury but rather a result of the former sports hernia. Through the middle of the summer while working out in Washington, Morris began experiencing stomach pain and doctors recommended that his abdominal wall needed to be strengthened.
"Probably 10 to 15 years down the road I would say it would wear down," Morris said about the injury.
Still, Morris missed his first NBA training camp in seven years for another reason. In mid-September, the Morris twins had to stand trial in Maricopa County for allegedly participating in an assault that occurred while they played for the Phoenix Suns. The threat of possible prison time as well as a minimum 10-game suspension from the NBA could have disrupted their careers, but on Tuesday the Morrises as well as Bowman were found not guilty. Two days later, both brothers had returned to their respective teams.
"All the things that happened after the offense was a tough thing — with [Marcus] getting traded and us losing endorsements and things like that but at the end of the day, we came out victorious," Morris said. "It's behind us. We move forward and we'll continue to be the stand-up men we've been."
Universally heralded by teammates for his toughness, Morris declared he'll still have their backs even while on the bench.
"I'm a student of the game already, so I just want to give them input on what I see out there," Morris said. "Still talk my lil' [expletive] to the other team."
Thursday's news conference showed that Morris hasn't lost his edge in trash talking. When asked about the Wizards' rivalry with Boston, Morris seemed to rue the summer trades that changed the Celtics' roster — until being reminded that Al Horford, the player who stepped under his foot and caused a severe sprain during the Eastern Conference semifinals, remains on the team.
"I'm still going to kick his [tail] too," Morris said, smiling. "We still kinda got that rivalry going on."

Historia

Durante el gobierno del presidente Aníbal Pinto, el general Basilio Urrutia como ministro de Guerra dio las instrucciones para la formación de un «Museo de Armas Antiguas» en el edificio que actualmente ocupa la comandancia en Jefe del Ejército. A pesar de esto, el Ejército y la Armada debieron esperar hasta 1895 para contar con un museo propio. Ese año, el presidente Jorge Montt inauguró el «Museo Militar de Chile  que, por decreto supremo de 1911, pasó a ser parte de la sección militar del Museo Histórico Nacional (MHN). En la década de 1960 la colección militar fue dividida, una parte fue enviada a la Escuela Militar donde su director, el coronel Alberto Labbé Troncoso, organizó el año 1969 un museo de características sólo militares. En 1978, el comandante en jefe del Ejército, general Augusto Pinochet, ordenó un estudio para la creación de un Museo Militar que tendría por finalidad: recoger, ordenar, preservar y divulgar la historia y tradiciones militares de la República, desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días.

El inmueble que alberga al museo actual, conocido como Edificio Alcázar, fue sede de la Escuela Militar de Chile entre los años 1901 y 1958; después se convirtió en la Escuela de Suboficiales (1967-1995). El 25 de octubre de 1990 fue declarado Monumento Histórico por decreto al constituir un importante testimonio de la arquitectura castrense en Chile. A partir del año 1995, el alto mando del Ejército estableció que en dicho edificio se fundara el futuro museo de la institución, que fue inaugurado el 25 de noviembre de 1997.

Conservación y restauración

Este museo, dada su singularidad en cuanto a antecedentes militares chilenos se refiere, adjudica una gran importancia a la conservación y restauración de bienes patrimoniales y/o documentos, por lo que posee cuatro laboratorios distintos para el tratamiento de los mismos. Cada laboratorio se especializa en el formato por el cual cada objeto o documento posee. A saber:

 Laboratorio de conservación y restauración de pintura de Caballete.
 Laboratorio de conservación y restauración textil.
 Laboratorio de conservación y restauración de papel.
 Laboratorio de conservación fotográfica.

Modernización del MHM

Después del terremoto que afectó a Chile el año 2010, hubo partes del museo que quedaron destruidas, dejando múltiples daños y mucho por reconstruir. Sin embargo, el Ejército optó por mirar este desastre que afectó al edificio como una oportunidad de añadir cambios en la forma de presentar el museo, una idea que tenían en mente y que ahora era el momento de instaurar.

Es por ello que en el año 2011 el Ejército puso en marcha el proyecto MHM 2.0, que consta de transformar el museo, de uno estático a uno interactivo, integrando tecnología innovadora para las distintas exhibiciones del museo. Esto en función de captar la atención y acercar más a la gente hacia los espacios culturales.

Por ejemplo, se creó una app del MHM que funciona como guía virtual del museo, siendo posible una "visita" sin necesidad de estar allí, donde sea que estés (disponible en la Play Store de Android). También, dentro del mismo museo, se añadieron pantallas led que muestran las distintas etapas de Chile a través del tiempo e información relacionada con la exhibición en cuestión, además de figuras tamaño real de distintos personajes de la historia militar como Lautaro, Pedro de Valdivia, Alonso de Ovalle, José Miguel Carrera, Bernardo O'Higgins y Manuel Rodríguez, añadiendo dinamismo a la visita.

KARATE ace Barry Jones does TV game shows for kicks - he has just won THREE in as many weeks.
The martial arts teachers beat other contestants to be the champion of blockbusters "Wipe Out", "The Weakest Link", and "The Biggest Game in Town".
And his hat-trick has stumped statisticians over working out the odds of his feat.
"It's impossible to calculate," one said. "It is astounding. Perhaps the man is simply very talented and good at general knowledge."
Black belt Barry, 33, said: "I was quite surprised to be on all three."
After all, the show he wanted to star in was Catchphrase!
The salesman sold himself at audition to all the quiz shows and was snapped up by impressed producers.
He braved the formidable Anne Robinson on The Weakest Link, surviving her torrents of abuse to emerge victorious.
He swept the board in Wipeout, the show hosted by Bob Monkhouse.
And he sweated under the lights during a live show of The Biggest Game in Town, compered by Steve Le Fevre.
He gave three stunning performances - the final glory being last Thursday.
But now Barry of Barton Street, Macclesfield, is thinking of retiring - until the next time.
"I'm retiring while I'm still undefeated," he said. "But there again I will have another go if my bank account gets a bit low!"
Barry swears he was not scared of Ms Robinson while other contestants quivered before the acid-tongued quiz-mistress.
"I even got one over on her a few times," he said. "She was having a go at my messy hair and I said something about having nightmares about witches and dragons, but they edited it out.
"I was dead chuffed that I won because it's definitely the hardest show.
"Bob Monkhouse was a really lovely bloke while Anne Robinson was really cool and professional.
"But the one I enjoyed most was the Biggest Game shown last Thursday.
"It was live and the host Steve Le Fevre spent a couple of hours with us beforehand.
"It was great walking round Granada studios - I spotted Tyrone off Corrie!"
Barry originally decided to apply for a place on Catchphrase but they were full so he auditioned for Wipeout.
His secret for getting on the shows? "I just tried to be lively at the auditions. I think my martial arts background helped because it gives them something to talk about on the show."
Despite his success the quiz world can breathe a sigh of relief and Who Wants To Be...? can hold onto their millions because Barry has decided to quit while he's ahead.


Tibetan protests against Chinese occupation reached the capital city of Lhasa yesterday, 27 May 2012, when two Tibetans set themselves on fire in front of the iconic Jokhang Temple in the centre of the old city.
Over 30 Tibetans have set themselves on fire (1) and thousands more have participated in protests (2) in other areas of Tibet since March 2011, but these are the first self-immolations in Tibet's capital city.
"For more than twelve months Tibetans have been protesting against China's occupation of their homeland - the Tibet Spring has now arrived at the heart of Tibet's capital city.
"Free Tibet is closely monitoring the on-going situation in Lhasa. In other parts of Tibet where protests have taken place we have documented hundreds of arbitrary arrests and disappearances. We fear a similar response in Lhasa. China's security apparatus is in place to remove and punish people in large numbers.
"We have already received reports that Tibetan residents of Lhasa have been arbitrarily detained in the wake of yesterday's self-immolations, and that residents from Ngaba (Chinese: Aba) have been targeted.
Jokhang Temple has been the site of protest not just yesterday but in 2008 and before. There is a heavy and constant security and police presence around the temple.
The speed with which Chinese security forces removed the two Tibetans who set themselves on fire yesterday meant that even nearby residents were unaware of what had happened. Many more forces were immediately deployed in the city and around Jokhang Temple. Lhasa is now under heavy military restrictions.

Guest Editorial: How Can Scottsdale Keep Raking in the Awards?
Like Michael Jordan at a post-season NBA awards ceremony, Scottsdale keeps raking in the hardware. In just the last two years, Scottsdale has been listed as the number one city in the United States for job seekers. It has been recognized for excellence in economic development. Our city has been acknowledged as North America's top golf destination. And now, it's home of the United States' best public park.
Earlier today, the Engaging Local Government Leaders network announced that the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park has received the 2019 Knope Award as the nation's top local government place.
Every year, ELGL honors different government places. For example, in 2017, ELGL honored the best city hall buildings. In 2018, it recognized the nation's best libraries.
This year, ELGL sought to find the United States' best park or public open space. A winner was tabbed after a tally of both an online vote and Instagram posts using the hashtag #ELGLKnope. Thirty-two parks and open spaces across the United States competed against one another and one champ emerged.
We can't say that we're surprised. There aren't many attractions in the United States that carry a nearly perfect five-star rating on tripadvisor.com after having been reviewed over 1,100 times. This notwithstanding, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park bucks the trend.
How can our city ensure that an attraction like the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park remains the best in the nation? Invest in it!
For the last 20 years, bonds have been a tough sell. That could change later this year. The time is now for citizens to embrace the latest general obligation bond proposal. Across the city, there are millions of dollars in unfunded infrastructural needs. The city's Capital Improvement Program Subcommittee has been working diligently in the last few months to identify areas of need for a $350 million general obligation bond measure that will be presented to voters later this year.
Some of the funding will positively impact a place like the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. Specifically, the current plan earmarks some funding so that the city can add a splashpad there, which will undoubtedly safeguard its position as the best public park in the United States. A vast majority will enable Scottsdale to replace an outdated 911 computer aided-dispatch and records management system, build roadway and pedestrian improvements across Scottsdale, renovate a police station and expand Via Linda Senior Center to provide more services for our city's aging residents. The bond is a win-win for everyone.
We don't need any additional reasons to be proud to call "the West's Most Western Town" home. Nonetheless, what we DO need is a dedicated funding source for award-winning attractions, as well as basic needs. As M.J. once said, "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." Let's make it happen.


Hi everyone、 I am Felicity. One tweet I read from Leo- co-founder of Vite "Vite team works overnight to deliver products". Yes、 that's why I like to know more and support Vite. It is awesome that anyone can use Vite Testnet and give out feedback. Normally projects are near to the mainnet have products like wallets, but Vite is different. I`ve not been waiting for a long time to see how the Testnet works、and Vite delivered things in the –speed-way、 ahead of their expected roadmap.
For the in-wallet migration ERC20 https://medium.com/vitelabs/in-wallet-erc20-vite-migration-is-officially-launched-801a2fa59248 Smooth. So far so good. I wonder if any projects have this kind of migration、and if it possible for other ERC20 tokens to be migrated、I supposed no.
About the new interface of Vite's website, https://www.vite.org it looks so cool! Well-informed of all needed information, once people join the website, they know what the team is doing.
About the reward fo SBPs voting https://vite.net/, as Full node and SBP is not what I can do, so I chose to so ahead with voting. The reward is quite good, rather than holding in exchanges, swap to testnet and earn rewards, why not? The system runs smoothly, but $Vite will ever be in pending mode untill I open my wallet. It somehow means I have tobe online to receive tokens, right? Do you have solutions for this?
Of the web-wallet https://wallet.vite.net/index , at first simple look and function, but now it is added with many more, convenient usage.
(Offtopic) Github https://github.com/vitelabs/go-vite always in active mode, a lot of code commits is contributed. From CyrptoMiso, a github ranking website, Vite has been stably on the 20th place of their continous contribution in the duration of 3 months.
Community engagement, t.me/vite_en the admin in Vite groups is so much helpful, admins always conducts information in the most informative and helpful way. You have a great community like Plasmo and SwissVite who are so so awesome in contributing and help out not only in the Telegram but also in Vite forum and Discord. Their writings are so clear and easy to follow. I admire their helpfulness a lot!
I believe you are creating something really cool. All ahead of scheduled time. I am looking forward to see more products from your team!
When my friend try with iOS version, she took a screenshot the seed phrase and it appeared like this, so amazing hhaa!! "It isn't a safe way to keep your seed phrase by screenshot. We suggest that you'd better write it down and keep it in a safe place" Vite is cool!

Kenya election: Kenyatta blasts court after vote annulled
Emmanuel Kwame Amoh
President Kenyatta told supporters he was not afraid of fighting another election[/caption] Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has branded judges in the country's Supreme Court "crooks" after they annulled his win in presidential elections. He earlier called for calm and said he would respect the ruling but struck a more combative note at a Nairobi rally. The court cited irregularities in last month's election and ordered a new one within 60 days. The poll had raised fears of major violence similar to that following a disputed vote in 2007. Although the unrest in this year's vote was not as serious as in 2007, days of sporadic protests left at least 28 people dead. Kenya's election commission had declared Mr Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes but the result was immediately challenged in court by his nearest rival, opposition leader Raila Odinga. In a ruling on Friday, Chief Justice David Maraga said the 8 August election had not been conducted in accordance with the constitution, declaring it "invalid, null and void". The ruling did not attribute any blame to President Kenyatta's party or campaign. Mr Odinga, who was in the courtroom, smiled and pumped his fist in the air as the ruling was read out. Thousands of his supporters took to the streets in celebration. Mr Odinga, 72, said the ruling marked "a historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension for the people of the continent of Africa". It is believed to be the first time in Africa that a legal challenge brought by the opposition against a presidential poll result has been successful. Mr Odinga called the electoral commission "rotten" and called for its members to resign and face prosecution. "It is clear that the real election results were never shared with Kenyans. Someone must take responsibility," he said. "We won the elections and we are going to win them again." In a televised address, President Kenyatta said that it was "important to respect the rule of law even if you disagree with the Supreme Court ruling". He called for calm, saying: "Your neighbour will still be your neighbour, regardless of what has happened. My primary message today to every single Kenyan is peace. Let us be people of peace." But he was struck a different tone later at a rally of supporters in a market in Nairobi. He referred to Justice Maraga and his fellow judges as wakora (crooks in Swahili), saying they had "decided to cancel the election". He warned the chief justice that as the poll had been annulled he was now the president again, not president-elect. "Do you understand me? Maraga should know that he is now dealing with the serving president," Mr Kenyatta, 55, said. "We are keeping a close eye on them. But let us deal with the election first. We are not afraid." Following the election, international monitors from the EU, the African Union and the US had said there was no major fraud and urged Mr Odinga to concede. On Friday, Marietje Schaake, the head of the EU Observer Mission, said the Supreme Court ruling represented "a historic day for Kenya and we have always said that people who feel aggrieved should seek the path of the courts". She said monitors had at the time pointed to irregularities and encouraged the Kenyan authorities to deal with them. Ms Schaake said monitors were awaiting the full details of Friday's ruling.

Bleck Engineering was approached by a homeowner who had a failing concrete and timber retaining wall that went right up to the detached garage and was 8 feet away from the residence. After assessing the site with the homeowner and gathering topographic and soil information, Bleck proposed that a new retaining wall be built in front of the existing failing wall. A soldier beam and lagging wall with concrete panels and a channel cap was chosen to help protect the real estate for the long term. The new wall is 400' in length with a maximum exposed face of 12' in height. Construction plans were designed to try and minimize the disruption to the table land as well as to provide an aesthetic quality to neighboring properties.


The government will miss its revenue collection target for the current fiscal year as economic activities have largely come to a standstill since the Great Earthquake, the Finance Ministry said. It has been constantly meeting the goal since Jana Andolan II in 2006.
The collection target for this fiscal year has been set at Rs423 billion. The government had been scrambling to achieve its collection goal even before the quake struck. It had already encountered a deficit of around Rs2 billion as of mid-April, and the devastating tremor has only pushed the target further away.
It now seems impossible to meet the revenue collection target as business activities have not yet resumed, capital expenditure has continued to remain poor and imports of major revenue contributors like vehicles and petroleum may drop, said Laxman Aryal, revenue department chief at the Finance Ministry.
According to him, the ministry has asked the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and the DoC to submit revised estimates of revenue collection for this fiscal year. Many shops have not yet reopened.
The Tatopani Customs Office, a key inland trade route with China and one of the top 10 strategic customs offices, had been obstructed even before the earthquake. The Rasuwa Customs Office, another major point for trade with the northern neighbour, has also remained closed since the quake. As a result, revenue collection at both these points have dropped sharply.
"The collection of value added tax (VAT) and excise duty, which are based on the volume of transactions, has been heavily affected," said Chudamani Sharma, director general at the IRD.
As per tax laws, business enterprises can report the damage they have suffered to the IRD within 30 days. The IRD has asked them to submit their reports of earthquake damage, according to Sharma.
Due to the exodus of foreign tourists from the country and massive cancellations of hotel bookings in the aftermath of the quake, the earnings of the tourism industry are expected to drop sharply contributing to a reduction in the revenue collection from the sector.
As the Kathmandu valley is the biggest contributor to the government's revenue collection, the massive impact of the earthquake here and the subsequent mass outflow of people from the valley has affected business transactions whose impact will be seen in revenue collection, according to the government officials.
"Because of these factors, the IRD is likely to see a shortfall of at least Rs7-8 billion during this fiscal year," said Sharma.
Similarly, the DoC thinks that it will be difficult to meet the revenue collection target. "As the Tatopani and Rasuwa customs offices have remained closed and the Tribhuvan International Airport Customs Office has been clearing only relief materials until recently, meeting the revenue target will be very difficult," said Sishir Dhungana, director general at the DoC.

Q: How data passes from view controller to another view controller Code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

Through this code how to pass data from one to another.

A: Basically there is only one instance of 'sharedApplication' (it is a singleton), which means that instances of view controllers that are independent of each other can still talk to the same data object. You can therefore write methods in your sharedApplication delegate which can effectively allow these two view controllers to communicate. For more information please see the Apple documentation.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplication_Class/

A: You can use the segue destination view controller for transfar data between controllers.Suppose you have one TextField in one View Controller and you want to pass the Textfield text to another viewController.Then use this it might be helpful.
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
TargetViewController *tvc; //Second view controller Object
tvc = [segue destinationViewController];
tvc.lonetxt = fname.text; //use properties of another view using . operator
tvc.ltwotxt = lname.text;
tvc.lthreetxt = age.text;
tvc.lfourtxt = college.text;
}

A: Try following:
Interface in Your AppDelegate:
@interface MyAppDelegate : NSObject  {
  NSString *myString;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *myString;
...
@end

and in the .m file for the App Delegate you would write:
@implementation MyAppDelegate

@synthesize myString;
myString = some string;

@end

Then, in viewcontroller.m file you can fetch:
MyAppDelegate *appDelegate = (MyAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
someString = appDelegate.myString;  //..to read
appDelegate.myString = some NSString;     //..to write
