You know that Nigeria is our country where we live in, but some people do not like Nigeria very much because they don't like the way they suffer because of the economy. There is no light and our generator is not good. Things are so expensive to buy. When will Nigeria change?
Let us try and make Nigeria a better country and keep Nigeria safe.
When I see other countries, I say that I would like Nigeria to be like other countries.
Let Nigeria be clean, green, safe, and valuable.
So, let us try these things and Nigeria will be a safe and clean place.
It is pathetic! In as much as it seems like there is no hope for Nigeria(ns), I still see a light at the end of the tunnel. God help us!


BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) -- British police have questioned two people who tried to visit a hospitalized Pakistani teenager shot for promoting girls' education, raising fears about her safety following pledges by the Taliban to make another attempt on her life.
Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head by the Taliban last week as she was returning home from school in Pakistan. She was airlifted Monday to Britain to receive specialized medical care and protection from follow-up attacks threatened by the militants.
Medical Director Dr. Dave Rosser of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham stressed Tuesday that security was "under control" at the hospital after the overnight incident. He said several people had turned up at the hospital claiming to be the girl's relatives but didn't get very far.
He said the people were arrested, but police said they had only been questioned.
"We don't believe there's any threat to her personal security," Rosser told journalists, explaining the hospital did not believe the suspects were related to Malala. "We think it's probably people being over-curious."
Police would not immediately confirm the details of the incident.
The attack on the girls horrified people in Pakistan and across the world. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said Malala had become "a symbol of all that is good in us."
"The work she did is far higher before God than that which is being done by terrorists in the name of religion," he said at the Economic Cooperation Organization Summit in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. "We will continue her bright work."
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a $1 million bounty for Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan, saying he was the one who announced that the Taliban carried out the attack on Malala.
The Taliban has threatened to target Malala until she is killed because she promotes "Western thinking."
Rosser said Malala is proving to be strong so far, but did not elaborate about her recovery.
Doctors are optimistic that Malala's age is in her favor. Unlike adults, the brains of teenagers are still growing and better able to adapt to trauma.
Teens also are generally healthier and their bodies have a stronger ability to react to the disruption that the injury causes, said Dr. Jonathan Fellus, chief scientific officer at the New Jersey-based International Brain Research Foundation.
"It helps to be young and resilient to weather that storm," he said. "Because her brain is continuing to develop at that age, she may have more flexibility in the brain."
There's also a psychological aspect to why youngsters have a better shot at recovery. While injured adults often mourn the loss of what they had, teens don't know what they are missing.
"They have an amazing capacity for hope," Fellus said. In Malala's case, her strong personality would also help her recover, he added.
Still, doctors cautioned that it is impossible to say how Malala will do without knowing the path of the bullet and what damages it caused, details that have not been released.
"The brain is like real estate," said Dr. Anders Cohen, chief of neurosurgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York. "Location is everything.
"Based on the information we have, it appears that Malala was shot from the front down diagonally, but we don't know what part of the brain the bullet went through, whether it crossed the midline and hit any vessels, or whether the bullet passed through the right or left side of the brain."
But both physicians say it is extremely unlikely that a full recovery can be made. They could only hope that the bullet took a "lucky path" - going through a more "silent," or less active - part of the brain.
"You don't have a bullet go through your brain and have a full recovery," Fellus said.


This meetup took place at the Eloquentix office, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 at 19:00. Find out when our next meetup is.
Mihnea is working as a software engineer at Hootsuite and he is currently pursuing a master's in Artificial Intelligence. He's currently interested in open source, web technologies and programming languages. The aspect he likes most about experimenting with Clojure is that it allows a practical and accessible way of interacting with abstract concepts.
We will first take a quick look at Clojure — its syntax, fundamental concepts and pros. Then, we will take a dive into core.async, a library exposing a way to do asynchronous programming in Clojure. Finally, we will raise the level of abstraction and talk about Clojure's next big idea — transducers.


Whenever you are squatting, you should try to keep your heels on the floor. If you can't do this, then your hip flexors are not loose enough. Therefore, you need to perform the following stretch. Hold on the squat rack and squat until you have thighs that are parallel to the ground. Hold this position for about thirty seconds. Stand and repeat around five times.
To improve your fitness, try working out a little each day. This is more beneficial than just doing an exercise 'binge' once a week. Incorporating exercise into your daily routine will make it easier to keep to your exercise momentum going, and means you won't dread and try to avoid an overly long workout session.
Keep track of your workouts. Keeping a daily or weekly log, tracking all of your workouts, ensures that you are making progress in your exercises and it will help hold you accountable. Write down things, such as duration, frequency, weight sizes and sets, reps and how your workout made you feel.
A great tip for healthier living is to perform strength training. Strength training keeps your muscles strong and healthy. Having more muscle mass is a great way to manage your weight because the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you can consume. This is because the extra calories will go to the muscle instead of the fat. Strength training is also helpful in preventing osteoporosis.
A great way to keep your kids active is to take them on hikes. Find a state park near you and take them on a hike through the woods. You can make a miniature adventure out of it and have fun along the way. Your kids probably won't even realize they're exercising!
If you are sick, take the time to heal instead of exercising. This is especially true if you are experiencing symptoms below the head. Your body will mostly be putting its resources towards healing itself rather than trying to build the muscle you are training for, so any work you do will more than likely be of little benefit. It's better to rest up.
See, that wasn't that hard to read through. After reading through that, you ought to be a bit excited to start experimenting. Hopefully, these new routines yield results that work for you. If not, try something else until you are pleased with the results. That's the best part about fitness; it can be tailored just for you.

Protecting pension savers–five years on from the pension freedoms: Pension scams: Government, The Pensions Regulator and Financial Conduct Authority Responses to the Committee's Fifth Report of Session 2019–21
Appendix 2: Financial Conduct Authority Response
I am writing to you in response to the publication of the Committee's report on Protecting pension savers – five years on from the pension freedoms: Pension scams on 28 March 2021. We welcome the Committee's report and share your aim of reducing the impact of pension scams. I will address in turn the report's recommendations that concern the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Recording and reporting
We recommend that the Pensions Regulator and the Financial Conduct Authority should use their scams awareness campaign, ScamSmart, to warn of the risk of secondary scammers.
We support this recommendation. The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and the FCA will review data and adjust messaging accordingly about the risk of secondary scammers (also known as recovery fraud) throughout the course of the next financial year and beyond. Messaging will be prioritised by reviewing the reporting data figures from Action Fraud and the FCA and TPR's contact centres. Further details on FCA's ScamSmart campaign and TPR's Pledge campaign can be found in response to recommendation 17 below.
We recommend that inclusion on the FCA warning list should constitute a red flag. If this is not possible, then the red flags developed by DWP should be defined in such a way that any firm or individual appearing on the FCA warning list would trigger a red flag.
We support this recommendation and will work with DWP to consider it. The alerts issued on our warning list do not necessarily relate to scams. They reflect unauthorised conduct which may include scams but will also capture conduct which we judge may pose a risk of harm to consumers but may not necessarily be a scam. It is also worth noting that at the point when an alert is issued, we do not necessarily have evidence to prove fraud even if we suspect this to be the case. The warning list is also constantly evolving, with new alerts being issued, but also previous alerts being updated or adapted. We update the warning list on a daily basis and continue to urge consumers and financial services firms to avoid dealing with firms on the list. We have also developed a Really Simple Syndication ('RSS') feed to enable third parties to receive information about our alerts at the point when an alert is issued or updated. In cases where firms are able to demonstrate that they are no longer engaging in unregulated conduct, alerts are sometimes taken down. Given that the list relates to conduct wider than scam activity, and due to the constantly changing content, inclusion on the warning list may be more appropriate as being viewed as an amber rather than red flag.
We recommend that, in order to create parity between traditional media, such as TV and newspapers, and new media, including search engines and social networks, paid-for advertising on online platforms should be covered by the regulatory framework for financial promotions. This would require online publishers to ensure that any financial promotion which they communicate has been approved by an authorised person or is exempted from the financial promotions regime.
As outlined in our Perimeter Report 2019/20, we think it is important that online platform operators bear clear legal liability for the financial promotions they pass on – at least to the same extent as traditional publishers. We therefore agree that online publishers should ensure that any promotion which they communicate has been approved by an authorised person or is otherwise exempt. Since the UK's departure from the EU an exemption to the financial promotions regime which may have been available to online platforms has fallen away. As a result, we are looking at the operations of the major online platforms to determine whether they are now subject to the financial promotion restriction and, if so, whether they are compliant. We will take action where we consider major platforms are non-compliant.
We recommend that the forthcoming Online Safety Bill should legislate against online investment fraud.
We support this recommendation. We have consistently been of the view that financial harms should be included in the Online Safety Bill to ensure that online platform operators take responsibility for the material which they disseminate which could cause consumers financial harm.
We welcomed the Government's confirmation that certain types of user-generated online fraud will be brought within scope of the Bill. We very much hope, however, that it can be amended to cover paid-for advertising as well as it is online advertising that is the major source of the problems leading to very significant consumer harms. The outcome we want to see is that platforms have an obligation to identify and remove fraudulent content – regardless of its format.
We do not agree with the arguments made by some platforms that such a measure would undermine competitiveness of the UK technology sector as we do not consider a business model which acts as a gateway to large scale fraud against consumers constitutes a sustainable business model. We recognise that ultimately this is a matter for Government and Parliament to decide on.
In the period between now and any legislation coming into force, we recommend that voluntary codes of conduct should be developed by search engines and social networks which make it clear that a request from a UK-based regulator is sufficient to remove a scam advertisement.
For the reasons set out above, we do not consider that voluntary approaches such as a charter will be sufficient to deal with the significance and urgency of this issue, particularly with respect to online advertising. Nevertheless we support this recommendation, and would encourage online platforms to make public very clearly their commitment to complying with the terms of the Financial Promotions Order (which is now required upon the UK's exit from the transition period) and the detailed steps they are taking to ensure timely compliance. For example, only allowing ads relating to financial services or products that have been approved by an authorised person or which are otherwise exempt.
We recommend that Pensions Regulator and FCA should continue to run the ScamSmart campaign, while regularly evaluating whether it is reaching the right groups and whether it has the necessary resource to do so effectively.
We support this recommendation. For the past three years, TPR and the FCA have jointly run the high-profile multi-million pound ScamSmart advertising campaign across television, radio, online and digital media, reaching four out of five pension savers between 45–64, the group most at risk from pension scams.
However, as there is no ongoing funding for TPR to continue to support the ScamSmart campaign, it falls to FCA to progress through their own website and social media channels only, with support from Project Bloom, a government-led multi-agency task force, set up to tackle pension fraud. For TPR to continue to support ScamSmart as it has over the past few years, more resource and – more importantly – more funding is needed.
Over the three years of running the consumer facing ScamSmart campaign, TPR has evolved its proposition and shifted its focus to its Pledge to Combat Pension Scams campaign as it centres on TPR's regulated audience (such as trustees and providers).
Consideration is needed as to whether TPR remains the most appropriate partner to support the ScamSmart campaign, which is consumer-facing.
TPR and FCA will continue to have a close working relationship with Project Bloom partners, including TPR, to support the promotion of both the consumer-facing and industry-facing pension scams campaigns.
We recommend that the FCA publish a costed plan to raise its game in tackling scams. It should also publish proactively data about its enforcement action, rather than waiting for Freedom of Information requests.
The FCA seeks to reduce the incidence of fraud through a framework of prepare, prevent, protect and pursue. We collaborate extensively with other agencies, including as one of the seven core NECC partners. We are carrying out ongoing action, for example, increasing our proactive monitoring of the internet with a dragnet approach aiming to capture suspicious advertising on the same day it first appears. We have proactively published information on our actions to tackle scams in our Investment Harms report4 and we will continue to publish more data of this kind in future.
We also publish details of all enforcement proceedings we take, including issuing media statements in respect of all criminal prosecutions when commenced and concluded. All of these statements have been and remain publicly available on our website.
Publishing a costed plan would be complicated, as much of our activity as a regulator has an indirect contribution to tackling scams but is nominally attributed to other areas of our activity, such as our financial crime supervision work. In January 2020, we published the Investment Harms report, and we intend to continue to publish this on a regular basis. The FCA also publishes an annual Business Plan which includes detailed information about how the FCA plans to carry out its regulatory functions and exercise its powers over the forthcoming year.
Finally, we also note that such a recommendation would be relevant to a range of regulators and law enforcement agencies with a remit to take action against pension scams and frauds. To the best of our knowledge, no other body with law enforcement responsibilities publishes such a plan.
To avoid the risks of creating yet another regulatory body in an already crowded field, we recommend that the new Pension Scams Centre should have a board made up of representatives of Project Bloom's current member organisations, with oversight of a pension scams hub. The hub's responsibilities would include facilitating intelligence sharing within the pensions industry and between regulatory bodies. The funding for both bodies should be ringfenced from existing budgets. The new organisation should consult on a public strategy with clear targets for reducing the incidence of pension scams and publish data demonstrating its success—or otherwise—in achieving these targets.
We support this recommendation. Project Bloom continues to have a significant role to play. However, the establishment of the NECC has placed inter-agency cooperation on a more formal footing than previously, and the NECC has been successful in coordinating law enforcement efforts and action, including among Project Bloom members. The NECC applies significant focus to investment fraud, of which pension scams are a sub-set. However, alongside other Bloom members, we are considering how enhancements might be made to the current model.
I hope that you find this response helpful. If you need anything further on any of the points covered, please do let me know.

Taylor Swift And Idina Menzel Bring Frozen Characters To Life In Florida

Taylor Swift Idina Menzel
Taylor Swift Thrilled Fans In Florida On Saturday (31oct15) By Teaming Up With Idina Menzel To Belt Out Frozen Hit Let It Go In Costume.
Picture: Taylor Swift - 2015 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA's) at the Microsoft Theater - Arrivals at The Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live - Los Angeles,...
The pop superstar has become known for inviting celebrity guests to join her onstage during her track Style, but this weekend's show in Tampa was a little different as she strutted out dressed as Olaf the snowman, while her dancers accompanied her as reindeers.
"I don't know if you noticed but we have a Frozen theme going on here," she said. Teasing the audience, she added, "If only Idina Menzel were here."
On cue, Idina rose up from a trap door, wearing a turquoise sequin gown to bring her animated character Princess Elsa to life. She then launched into her signature song, much to the crowd's delight, before the stars stripped off their costumes to complete the set in more typical stage attire.
"Frozen totally happened tonight," Taylor wrote on Instagram after the gig, alongside a photo of the pair. "And 55,000 people sang 'Let it Go' so loudly, it nearly took my breath away. Good times, @idinamenzel."
The Broadway veteran also gushed about the big moment on social media by sharing a video clip of their performance online. "Thank you @taylorswift!" she wrote. "That was definitely an out of body experience. Or out of Elsa's body experience!"
"@taylorswift13 deserves all her success and more," she added on Twitter.com. "Generous, real, loving. Thanks Taylor for the gig of a lifetime."
Idina wasn't the only special guest at the show - Taylor also shared the stage with up-and-coming singer Alessia Cara, just months after she put her own spin on the superstar's Bad Blood hit on BBC radio. The cover caught the attention of Taylor, who brand the newcomer's version "amazing", and invited Alessia to perform for her Florida fans.
"Thank you for showing me what 55,000 people looks like," Alessia posted online after belting out her track Here. "You are the classiest, sweetest, most lovely person and I can't thank you enough for what just happened. Also I can't feel my body. Goodnight everyone I quit life."
The Tampa show marked the final North American date of Taylor's 1989 World Tour, which has previously featured appearances by the likes of Ricky Martin, Pitbull, Beck, John Legend, Alanis Morissette, The Weeknd, Chris Rock, Ciara, Lorde, Matt LeBlanc, Mary J. Blige, Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger and the stars of her Bad Blood video.
"Sharing a stage with @alessiacara and @idinamenzel was the perfect way to end this amazing chapter," she tweeted. "Thanks ladies."
The singer will next head to Singapore on 7 November (15) to continue her trek in Asia and Australia, where she will wrap up the gigs with a three-night run in Melbourne in December (15).

South-West has become a top-notch showdown
By The San Gabriel Valley Tribune | sgvtribune@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: September 29, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 1:20 a.m.
PREP FOOTBALL: Rivalry is one of the area's best and features unbeaten teams led by two talented backs.
By Tony Ciniglio
Josh Waybright played football for South Torrance, so he remembers well the intensity of the South-West Torrance rivalry in in the early 1990s.
Now that he is the South coach, however, the rivalry has grown into the best of the Torrance schools.
When these crosstown rivals meet tonight at 7 at South, it might be the most anticipated game in the South Bay this season – at least to this point.
Not only are both teams undefeated at 3-0, but they played to a thrilling 14-14 tie last season that had more than enough drama to make up for what had been a sloppy game.
"Walking around campus this week, all anyone keeps asking me is how we're doing this week, and we don't get that every week," Waybright said. "There's a lot of excitement about this game. We're hoping for a big crowd like last year. It's a big game, at least in our minds."
South will be looking for a similar effort and a slightly better result.
The Spartans jumped to a 14-0 lead before bracing for West's charge and settling for a 14-14 tie, the only blemish on West's sparkling regular season.
West had six turnovers in the game last season, including three in the red zone and one at the goal line.
"This is a huge game for us," West running back Brian Baucham said. "They were the only team that came close to us last year (before the final), and we have to treat this game like a championship game and put our hearts into it.
"They came out pumped up and ready to go last year, so we're not underestimating them this time."
In fact, West coach Greg Holt is making sure his Warriors know this is more than just a regular-season game.
"It's a crosstown rivalry, and we've got to match their intensity," Holt said. "Of course our major concern is Bay League, but because this is a crosstown rivalry, we need to make sure we bring that same kind of intensity as we would to a league game. There's a lot of emotion in this matchup and these are two pretty good football teams."
South running back John White, who missed last year's game with a broken left hand, said he is excited and apprehensive about the game at the same time.
"We're kind of (leery) of them this year because we know they're going to be (mad) about last year – they think they should've won," White said. "They took the rivalry seriously, but we took it a little more seriously and gave it all we had last year.
"They're going to be much more prepared for us, and they have some players who can really hurt us."
It starts with Baucham, who has rushed for 549 yards and 10 touchdowns on 33 carries this season, tearing through the defenses of North Torrance, Torrance and Hawthorne.
"Brian is running really well right now," Holt said. "He kind of looks like he's in end-of-the-season form right now. He's running hard, he's running with aggression and with a purpose.
"Teams have to load up on the run to take it away from us, so we are going to have to get the passing game going."
Even if a defense loads up on Baucham like South did last season by putting eight men in the box, Baucham can still break free. He burned the Spartans with a 55-yard punt return last year and already has an 88-yard punt return this season.
"When teams key on me, I have to find a different way to get a touchdown," Baucham said. "And I'll have to do that against South. They're very disciplined."
West has also yet to unleash quarterback Marc Oslund, not that it has needed to at this point because of Baucham's brilliance.
Baucham credits an offensive line that is quickly coming together despite losing five of six players to graduation.
Mark Clampitt, Brian O'Neal, Matt Karch, Paul Moon, Bruce Boyd and tight end Donnie Banks have held their own and opened big holes for Baucham.
"We just have an inexperienced line," Holt said. "Physically they're fine, but mentally, they're still learning. But they can move people off the ball."
While White has been a go-to player for South this season with 363 yards and six touchdowns on 65 carries, the Spartans have received an unexpected boost from quarterback Will Brown.
With Brown throwing for 259 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions on 20-for-40 passing so far this season, it forces opposing defenses not to focus so squarely on White.
"Schematically we're about the same, but Will has had a pretty great season so far," Waybright said. "It definitely gives us something we didn't have last season in throwing the football.
"We expected that from White because we know he's a great player. But they have a great one in Baucham. He's one of the best I've seen in a long time."

Xia Tian, Jia Jiang, Fang Wei, Bulu all four grew up on Westside Street together and currently study in Ying Ye School. One month away from graduation.
Xia Tian's dad is a police officer in Westside Street and is retiring tomorrow. But just on that day, they all had a fight with the Dinosaur gang in the school and were almost expelled by the principal. Officer Xia went to settle the conflict and not only did it not get settled, his gun got misplaced by the principal too. Everyone thus discussed things over and decided that AJ they all will remain in the school and they must find the gun within the one month of graduation to let Officer Xia retire peacefully and happily. Jia Jiang, Fang Wei and Bulu then can successfully graduate.
While finding the missing gun, they discovered that a ex-convict Grey Wolf who escaped from prison is possibly connected with the missing gun and even more surprisingly, the Grey Wolf is actually having close communication and contact with students in Ying Ye.

Es reiten die Toten so schnell... (German: The Dead ride so fast...) is the first demo tape by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows'. Es reiten... was issued in a hand-numbered limited edition of 50 copies in 1989. A further two demo tapes, Rufus and Till Time and Times Are Done, have not yet been released in any format. All three have been referred to as the "Undead-Trilogy".

Overview
Es reiten... was recorded by Anna-Varney Cantodea (then known simply as Varney) and her then-companion Holger; they would come together only once a month to record and edit the tape until its conclusion. Cantodea thanked Holger greatly for his help in creating Es reiten..., especially since the two of them were not financially successful at the time.

The music and lyrics provided an introduction to what would be seen as the "signature" sound of Sopor Aeternus: Renaissance- and Baroque-inspired music, accompanied by Cantodea's voice and a drum machine. As was the case with her early recordings, Cantodea would only record the vocals once, and would not edit the performance later. "Reprise" consists solely of a spoken line during the bridge of "Dead Souls". The majority of the lyrical content in this early phase was vampirism, with songs such as "Stake of my Soul" and "The Feast of Blood" being prime examples. Cantodea discussed the subject matter in 1992:

"We recorded Es reiten die Toten so schnell... to express the deep bounds towards, well, to our beings suffering their immortal lives in eternal darkness. The lyrics of the Undead-Trilogy allude to vampires only at first sight for they are a symbol of tragedy, damnation and all of that..."

The material from Es reiten... would be entirely re-arranged and re-recorded for the later album "Es reiten die Toten so schnell" (or: the Vampyre sucking at his own Vein), while the original release would be re-issued alongside "Voyager - The Jugglers of Jusa" and Ehjeh Ascher Ehjeh in the rarities box set Like a Corpse standing in Desperation. The original demo appears on the first disc of the collection in a remastered format, removing tape hiss and improving dynamics; the facsimile cassette included in the set contains the songs as originally mixed.

Although I was registered as coloured belt, I was given the opportunity to also train with the black belts, which made the day quite intense.
After a short warming-up, we started to do some mobility exercises, adding some kicks and punches afterwards. Then started to add exercices to practise counter-attack. Finally, we ended up by some sparring. As the number of participants was limited (around 10 per session), Sabum Stephen Tapilatu could watch out every single one of us and make comments to help us to improve. During all the sessions, we also had the opportunity to ask as many questions as we wanted.
It was a very interesting seminar (my first one with Sabum Tapilatu), where each exercise was built up on the previous one and I'm glad I had the opportunity to participate to it.

Todd McNair announced as part of 2020 Class for Temple Athletics Hall of Fame
Second-year coach in Tampa honored for contributions during collegiate career
By David_Harrison@DHarrison82 Dec 16, 2020, 12:01pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Todd McNair announced as part of 2020 Class for Temple Athletics Hall of Fame
Two years ago Todd McNair became the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' running backs coach. In his first year Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones II combined to give the Bucs their first 1,000-yard rushing duo since 2015, when Doug Martin carried the workload for a 1,900-yard pairing combined with Charles Sims.
In his second year on the team, he's helped get Jones to within 100-yards of the Bucs' first solo 1,000-yard rushing season since the same year Martin did it those six seasons ago.
Six years ago, McNair was out of coaching and things didn't look so bright. Now, he's on the verge of being a working member of an NFL playoff team and is headed to the Hall of Fame.
That story takes us even further back. Before the Bucs, the Trojans, Reggie Bush, the NFL altogether; all of it. To Temple University.
Playing four years for Temple, McNair totaled 566 career carries and gained 2,383 career yards while scoring sixteen rushing touchdowns. Showing some versatility to his game, he also brought in 45 career receptions and scored one receiving touchdown while adding 283-yards from scrimmage.
He wasn't done there though. McNair also returned kickoffs and punts scoring a touchdown on a punt return during his freshman year in 1985.
The Owls' running back was such a focal point of the 1987 and 88 football teams that he ranked third each season in plays from scrimmage, and finished seventh in the country with 1,170-yards rushing in 1987 alone.
All of this led to McNair being drafted in the 8th Round of the 1989 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs launching what would become an eight-year professional career. Six of those eight years were spent with the franchise that drafted him, while two were spent with the Houston Oilers during the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
In his NFL career, McNair started ten games of the 121 he appeared in and carried the ball 147 times while being a receiver 254 times. In all, he amassed 3,238-yards from scrimmage and scored ten career touchdowns.
McNair has had his share of ups and downs in football and in life, and those experiences are undoubtedly a benefit to young backs like Jones as he continues to strive to reach the peak of his own potential.
According to Temple's own post about their 2020 Hall of Fame class, McNair is the sixth rusher all-time for the school and was an AP All-East selection in both 1987 and 1988.
We here at Bucs Nation congratulate coach McNair on his achievements and this recognition and wish him the best as he continues to help make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the best team they can be in 2020 and beyond.

Wenger later bemoaned defensive frailties and some "unbelievable chances" missed but in regards to the former, at least, he might have seen it coming. The Gunners have gotten through a torrid start through strong team spirit to defend more securely but sooner or later, the gaps would be shown again unless they become more cohesive as a unit. In particular, they owe much thanks to Mikel Arteta, who has steadied the ship and before this fixture, had not missed a game since his début, ironically against Swansea. Perhaps they haven't progressed as much as they thought they had following the 8-2 defeat to Manchester United but Mikel Arteta is single-handedly papering over the team's cracks. (Robin van Persie has performed miracles with his goalscoring exploits and we must be be appreciative of that, but in terms of team performances, Arsenal haven't much improved in 2011. Indeed, once Arteta slotted in, it was then the team was transformed from the cavalier to more controlled).
Arteta presence was sorely missed on Sunday although he wasn't the only significant absentee – Arsenal's full-back woes have been much documented and notably, Ignasi Miquel was caught out twice up the pitch for Swansea's two goals. Yet, if Swansea would still have retained the same measure of possession if Arteta had been playing, because he too was non-existent in the second-half against Fulham, his positioning was Arsenal's biggest loss. As a result, poor Yossi Benayoun was drafted in out of position as a central midfielder and the Isreali was found wanting defensively. Often he was attracted higher up the pitch or towards the left. Indeed, Benayoun has often been a drifter which has as much irked his previous coaches as well as endeared himself to them. He's a tactical anarchist, making hay with his superb off-the-ball movement but that would normally be on the flanks. Andre Villas-Boas couldn't find a space in either position so he cast him off to Arsenal where he has only started out wide twice (excluding Carling Cup), making one assist and has been called upon twice in central midfield. The ramifications of playing Benayoun in a makeshift position was that it caused imbalances to Arsenal's team. Normally, Arteta would play closer to Alex Song but on this occasion, Arsenal's defensive screener was often isolated. With Benayoun tending to drift left, it meant Aaron Ramsey had to drop ever deeper to close the gaps and in the end, he was culpable for two of Swansea's goals, fouling for the penalty and then dawdling on the ball. (Arsenal were increasingly exposed in transitions and the drastic tracking-back proved fateful).
<Figure 1> With Benayoun constantly tending to drift to the left, it created an imbalance which Aaron Ramsey sought to plug. As a result, he was unable to press up the pitch as normal and Arsenal suffered on the break whenever both got forward.
After this seventh defeat (as if compartmentalising is needed at this stage) Arsenal's league objectives took a huge battering. It's not just in defence they look jittery; the attack hasn't sparkled without the divine intervention of van Persie. Theo Walcott got his goal while Andrey Arshavin also bagged an assist but the two wide men can still seem a bit disassociated and that was more the case as Swansea squeezed their involvement out of the game. Perhaps then, there are few holes in Arsenal's philosophy. Arsène Wenger can certainly learn a few things from Swansea who treated the ball with a a calmness and tranquillity as if strolling through the Irish farmlands. Arsenal on the other hand, looked anxious to exert their game when in the past, it would have been expected to come naturally. Wenger said they showed a "lack of appreciation of the ball" and this graphic below might tell it's own story.
Note: We used an imperfect measure to rate the quality of chances Arsenal create and concede per match (Chance Quality Index). Against Leeds, Arsenal created an average chance quality of 5.3/10 and conceded an average quality of chance 6.5/10. As Wenger said, they created better chances against Swansea at 6.4/10 but also conceded at a similar rate at 6.6/10. OPTA don't measure quality of chance as it's interpretative so we implore you guys to help develop this further. (At the moment, it's rudimentary rating of chances out of ten).
The Mailbag: The King returns, Wenger's tactical acumen and Arsenal's pressing issue.

Q: Clean Way to Force Use of a Derived Interface In my application, some of the entities implement interface A, others implement interface B, and some implement both A and B.  How can I force code that looks at these entities that implement both A and B to use the derived interface for A and B?
Here's some examples:
Interface A
public interface IActive
{
   DateTime? StartEffDT { get; set; }
   DateTime? EndEffDT { get; set; }
}

Interface B
public interface ISecured
{
    object SecurityToCheck { get; set; }
}

Interface A and B
public interface IActiveSecured : IActive, ISecured
{
}

Method Example
public void ExampleMethod1(IActive x) { }
public void ExampleMethod2(ISecured y) { }
public void ExampleMethod3(IActiveSecured z) { }

Is there a way to force ExampleMethod1 to only take IActive, but not IActiveSecured?
public void UpdateItem(IActive item) {
    //update the item, if it is currently active
}

If I tried to call UpdateItem with an IActiveSecured item, it would work. No surprise, that's how inheritance works.  But what if I want to ensure that you can't call UpdateItem with an IActiveSecured, because the security needs to be checked to make sure that the user is authorized to update the item?
Thanks for the help!

A: Create
public interface INonSecured
{}

public interface IActiveNonSecured : IActive, INonSecured
{}

Then change UpdateItem like so:
public void UpdateItem(IActiveNonSecured item)
{}

The additional surfacing of the "non secured" concept makes your intent far more clearer and prevents the scenario you mentioned.

A: You may use this code, but it has bad smell.
If there are new interfaces that inherit from IActive - will inevitably complement the code.
public void UpdateItem(IActive item) {
    if(item is IActiveSecured)
        return;
    //do some code
}

Prove that, in every two-coloring of the plane, there are monochromatic triangles of any shape. That is to say, there are three points of the same color that are vertices of a triangle similar to a given one.
Let the two colors be red and blue.
Let there be triangle $PQR;$ two of its angles are bound to be acute. Let $P$ be one of them.
Find $E$ and $F$ at the intersections of $(ACD)$ with $CB$ and $AB,$ respectively.
Recollect that points $B$ and $C$ are of the same color, say, blue. If $A$ is blue, the construction, though edifying, was unnecessary. So assume $A$ is red.
If $D$ was blue, we would have been done with $\Delta BCD.$ So assume $D$ is red.
If $E$ is blue then, assuming the worst, in $\Delta ECG,$ $G$ is red, and to avoid having $\Delta DFG$ monochromatic, we are forced to assume that $F$ is blue. But then $\Delta EBF$ is monochromatic.
So that $\Delta AED$ is also similar to $\Delta PQR$ and is monochromatic: all its vertices are red.
We can always find three points $A,B,C$ of the same color such that $B$ is the midpoint of $AC.$ Let $\Delta ACF$ be similar to the given one. Find the midpoints $D$ and $E$ of $AF$ and $CF,$ respectively.
We have four small and one big triangles similar to the given one. Assume $A,B,C$ are blue. If $D$ is blue, $\Delta ABD$ is monochromatic. So let $D$ be red.
If $E$ is blue $\Delta BCE$ is monochromatic. So, assume $E$ is red.
If $F$ is blue, then $\Delta ACF$ is monochromatic. So, assume $F$ is red.
But then $\Delta DEF$ is monochromatic.
This is a problem from R. Honsberger's Mathematical Delights (MAA, 2004, pp 177-178.) The problem was originally proposed by Stephen W. Knox (Mathematics Magazine, Problem 1465, February 1996). Solution is by Achilleas Sinefakopoulos.
Solution 2 trivially generalizes a particular case of monochromatic equilateral triangles that was considered separately years ago.


ARVALIS was present for the kick-off meeting of the H2020 European project SmartAgriHubs from the 4th to the 6th of March in Prague.
Within the project, Competence Center and Digital Innovation Hub work together to implement experiments to test relevant technical and economic innovations for producers (Flagship Innovation Experiment – FIE).
-	Strate-GEEK created in the vision of developing a Decision Support Tool (DST) on strategic choices on the farm. This DST will be based on a web version of SYSTERRE® where indicators will be provided by API, from ACTA Informatique. This FIE, led by ARVALIS, will bring together farmers, advisers and economic operators to better understand their needs around such a tool. The Digifermes® and TERRASOLIS will support ARVALIS on the testing and deployment of the tool. Project duration: 3 years.
-	Digi-PILOTE whose objective is to develop ad-hoc IT infrastructures, in order to deploy in France a nitrogen control system for common wheat and durum wheat based on CHN crop model with data assimilation from sensors. ARVALIS, associated with ACTA Informatique and API AGRO, will develop APIs enabling the exchange of data between partners to facilitate flows. The GPS agricultural cooperative and the Digifermes® network will evaluate, through interfaces developed for this purpose, the technical and economic interest of this future tool.

Britain's Cameron to face press over tabloid scandal
Friday, July 08, 2011 15:20
LONDON, July 8, 2011 (AFP) - British Prime Minister David Cameron called a news conference Friday amid reports his former media chief will be arrested over the phone hacking scandal which brought down the News of the World tabloid.
Cameron's Downing Street office did not give further details about the conference, which comes a day after media Rupert Murdoch stunningly axed Britain's top selling Sunday newspaper.
Media reports said Andy Coulson, who was editor of the paper when some of the hacking occurred and who served as Cameron's communications chief from 2007 until he quit earlier this year, would be arrested Friday over the hacking scandal.
AFP - This picture taken through a car window shows Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, leaving her office in London on July 7, 2011, after Rupert Murdoch's decision to close the 168-year-old tabloid after it was engulfed in a phone hacking scandal.
Coulson was told by police that he was to be detained and that he was expected to be released on bail, said the Guardian newspaper, which led much of the investigation into the hacking scandal.
The News of the World will print its last edition after 168 years of existence on Sunday after claims that it hacked the phones of a murdered girl and the families of dead soldiers, and that it paid police for stories.
Opposition leader Ed Miliband said in a speech on Friday that Cameron had to "come clean" about conversations he had with Coulson about the phone-hacking scandal.

Court jails 20-year-old man 21 years for murder
An Edo High Court sitting in Auchi on Friday convicted and sentenced a 20-year-old man, Sufiyan Ahmed, to 21 years' imprisonment for murder.
The convict had been arraigned earlier on a two-count charge of murder and sexual assault, after sexually assaulting and murdering a four-year-old girl, Umuaiman Suleman, for money ritual.
Justice Philip Imoedemhe in his judgment convicted Ahmed on the two-count charge of defilement and murder.
Imoedemhe held that all the evidence tendered before the court had convinced him beyond reasonable doubt that the convict was guilty of the crimes.
The judge also explained that the offences were punishable by life imprisonment, but he decided to use his discretion to reduce the jail term to 21 years.
"The evidence before me show that the defendant is guilty as charged and is hereby convicted to 21 years in prison," Imoedemhe said.
Imoedemhe ordered that the convict be taken to the Auchi Correctional Centre to serve his jail term.
Earlier, Ahmed's counsel, Anthony Omozenumu, had pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy and not to sentence the convict to life imprisonment.
The prosecutor, Mrs Lauretta Asaka, had during the trial submitted that Ahmed committed the offences on April 21, 2019, at Egbetua Quarters in Ososo Community in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo.
Asaka, a state prosecutor council from the Edo Ministry of Justice, said that the convict sexually assaulted and murdered the victim for money rituals.
She said that the offences were punishable under Section 401 of the Administration of Criminal Justice, Laws of Edo State, 2016.

He went to church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and fro, and patted children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of houses, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed that any walk—that anything—could give him so much happiness. In the afternoon he turned his steps towards his nephew's house.
"Is your master at home, my dear?" said Scrooge to the girl. Nice girl! Very.
Dear heart alive, how his niece by marriage started! Scrooge had forgotten, for the moment, about her sitting in the corner with the footstool, or he wouldn't have done it, on any account.
Let him in! It is a mercy he didn't shake his arm off. He was at home in five minutes. Nothing could be heartier. His niece looked just the same. So did Topper when he came. So did the plump sister when she came. So did every one when they came. Wonderful party, wonderful games, wonderful unanimity, won-der-ful happiness!

Home Life Stories The First Trailer for the Movie Spider-Man: No Way Home Has Finally Arrived
The First Trailer for the Movie Spider-Man: No Way Home Has Finally Arrived
Marvel Studios has released the final trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home after an incomplete version of it was leaked to the network. The video showed that the film will contain references to Spider-Man that featured Tobey Maguire, as well as characters from the trilogy. In addition, Alfred Molina, who starred in Spider-Man 2 directed by Sam Raimi, will return to the image of Dr. Otto Octavius.
Earlier, a trailer for a new Spider-Man film was leaked to the network. The video itself was filmed on a mobile phone from the display of another smartphone. It is noted that the shown version was not final, since the video was still at the post-production stage: in some scenes, unfinished special effects were visible.
And finally, Sony has released the first official trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Thanks to the video, many rumors were confirmed: for example, the appearance of the characters of Octavius and the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe). According to the plot, Peter Parker after disclosing his identity turns to Doctor Strange for help. He triggers a special spell, and now people must forget the identity of the Spider. After that, the displacement of reality begins, and therefore the multiverse, which fans are waiting for.
The debut teaser trailer for the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home reflects the audience's high interest in the project. A little more than a day later, the video, posted on two YouTube channels and on Twitter, scored more than 98.7 million views. The tape will be released on December 16.


In a recent report released by McKinsey from a five-year study of 300 companies, the global management consulting firm found that organizations that adopted design-based principles and methods had 32% more revenue and 56% higher total returns to shareholders compared with other companies.
Over those five years, McKinsey based their findings by looking at over 2 million pieces of financial data and 100,000 design actions. This is one of the most significant studies in this area and certainly validates and quantifies what many organizations and the design community have known for years.
It's also important to note that these findings were consistent in what are often considered more complex or multi-faceted service organization and industries, including medical technology, consumer goods, and retail banking.
Tracking design's impact as a metric just as rigorously as you would track cost and revenue.
Putting users first by actually talking to them. This helps to think outside of a standard user experience.
Embedding designers in cross-functional teams and incentivizing top design talent.
Encouraging research, early-stage prototyping, and iterating. Just because a product or service is launched doesn't mean the design work ends.
This is a great start to validate the impact of design practices and thinking has on the bottom line. It's also important that those leading or participating in design make the effort to provide similar information to the C-suite to demonstrate the value of the work we do.

           sep = "(?<=[A-Za-z])(?=[0-9])"
           )

but every trial and every attempt failed so far. I cannot manage to access only the last 2 (or 4) items.
I'd be grateful for any idea.. Thanks

A: We could group by rows (rowwise), then convert the 'mycol' element with fromJSON to a list of matrixes, unlist to vector, convert the vector to a data.frame with 4 columns using as.data.frame.list, wrap it in a list, then we ungroup and unnest the list column with unnest_wider (from tidyr) and finally, convert the column types based on its value with type.convert
library(dplyr)
library(jsonlite)
library(tidyr)
d %>%
  rowwise %>%
  mutate(newcol = list(setNames(as.data.frame.list(unlist(fromJSON(mycol,
             simplifyVector  = FALSE)[[2]] )), paste0("X", 1:4)))) %>%
  ungroup %>%
  unnest_wider(c(newcol))   %>%
  type.convert(as.is = TRUE)

-output
# A tibble: 3 x 5

data
d <- structure(list(mycol = c("[[[\"0.10\", \"35\"], [\"0.2\", \"36\"]], [[\"5.1\", \"2\"], [\"90.2\", \"2\"]]]",
"[[[\"0.10\", \"35\"], [\"0.2\", \"36\"]], [[\"5.1\", \"2\"], [\"90.2\", \"2\"]]]",
"[[[\"0.10\", \"35\"], [\"0.2\", \"36\"]], [[\"5.1\", \"2\"], [\"90.2\", \"2\"]]]"
)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -3L))

A: Here's a base R solution based on regex and @akrun's data:
d1 <- sapply(strsplit(d$mycol, ","), function(x) gsub("(?!\\.)\\D", "", x, perl = T))

We first split d at the comma and pass the result to a gsubfunction which removes anything that is not a digit (\\D) and not a .. We transpose the resulting dataframe d1 to turn columns into rows and select the data of interest:
d2 <- as.data.frame(t(d1[5:8,]))
d2
   V1 V2   V3 V4
1 5.1  2 90.2  2
2 5.1  2 90.2  2
3 5.1  2 90.2  2

If you want to have the result together with the original data, then cbind and change the column names as suits you:
d3 <- cbind(d, d2)
names(d3) <- c("mycol", "x1", "x2", "x3", "x4")

Result:
d3
                                                             mycol  x1 x2   x3 x4

2 [[["0.10", "35"], ["0.2", "36"]], [["5.1", "2"], ["90.2", "2"]]] 5.1  2 90.2  2
3 [[["0.10", "35"], ["0.2", "36"]], [["5.1", "2"], ["90.2", "2"]]] 5.1  2 90.2  2


Our sheriff, and the hero of Craig Johnson's excellent series, returns for his eighth adventure in "As The Crow Flies". And what a fine addition to the canon it proves to be.
It is just a few short weeks until the wedding of his daughter, Cady, to the brother of his under-sheriff, Victoria Moretti, and Sheriff Walt Longmire and his best friend, Henry Standing Bear, are tasked with organising the forthcoming nuptials. What could go possibly go wrong for our dynamic duo?
While scouting on the Cheyenne Reservation for the perfect site to hold the ceremony, Longmire and Henry witness as a young Crow woman falls to her death from the heights of the Painted Warrior cliff. Far from his own jurisdiction, Longmire gives help and guidance to the new appointed and inexperienced tribal police chief, LoLo Long. Longmire has to use all his experience to solve the mystery, mentor the new chief and ensure he has time to plan the perfect wedding for Cady.
This is yet another great read and is packed with all the delights we have come to expect – demand, even – from the author, Mr Johnson. He writes his characters so well and they arrive fully formed and vivid in your mind as you meet them on the page for the first time. LoLo Long is a terrific addition to the growing cast list that lives in the author's delightful part of Wyoming. She is spikey and quick to rile and, as the tale progresses, you learn why she is that way and you watch as she develops and grows under Longmire's tutelage. As a reader, I find it a pleasure to be in the company of characters that evolve in such a way; as they change and adapt to their environment and the characters that populate their pages, we can invest more of ourselves into them and, in doing so, we gain more out of the journey we take with them. It's a win, win.
The dry wit, humour and affection between Longmire and Henry Standing Bear, and which we have come to love so much in the previous books, is peppered throughout this book. Their discussions and quips to each other are perfectly phrased, helping to both propel the narrative and pace of the plot while simultaneously reinforcing their long-standing friendship, respect and affection for each other. Mr Johnson has a real talent for expressing the unique bond that can exist between two men; he never oversells their relationship, instead, he pitches it just right.
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip into Walt Longmire's world. Yet, as good and enjoyable as it was, I have to confess that the nature of the plot and the crime being investigated lacked the pace and "edge" that was seen in "Hell Is Empty". It is probably very unfair of me to compare the two novels in this way. "Hell Is Empty" was a tense and thrilling manhunt into the mountains with the elements providing a cinematic and brutal backdrop whilst "As The Crow Flies" is, despite the horrific manner of the young woman's death and the investigation that follows, more of a meandering and calmer journey. Both books are terrifically well written and superbly plotted but, for me, "As The Crow Flies" lacked a little of the vibrancy and power are shown in "Hell Is Empty".
My slight sense of disappointment is most probably my own fault. Since the beginning of August, I have read nothing other than the Longmire novels; I've simply gone from one Longmire adventure straight onto the next. Maybe I was expecting the tension and the sense of ever-present danger in "Hell Is Empty" to carry on into this subsequent novel?
But, that ability to change things around and keep us on our toes is one of the reasons we enjoy Mr Johnson's stories so much. With each tale to date, the author has taken a slightly different route with his storytelling. His novels are fresh and do not become stale; he mixes it up and keeps us engaged.
I am having a blast spending time in Absaroka County and am enjoying catching up with the Longmire series. However, as I am about to make a start on book nine, I am beginning to become anxious about what I will do once I have caught up with the series. What will I do when I find myself with the very latest tale, "Depth of Winter" in my hands and know that there will be nothing left to follow it for at least another year?
Do I continue forging ahead and devouring each tale? Or, do I pace myself and make the magic last?


Enriched uranium fuel is ready to be shipped from Russia to Iran's first nuclear power plant, state television on Sunday quoted Iran's foreign minister as saying.
The announcement comes after talks in Moscow between minister Manouchehr Mottaki and Russian nuclear chief Sergei Kiriyenko to address delays in completing the $1 billion joint Iranian-Russian Bushehr power plant.
"Nuclear fuel for this power plant, inspected and sealed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, is ready," the broadcast quoted Mottaki as saying late on Saturday. "We do see the trend of cooperation between Iran and Russia moving ahead for the Bushehr power plant."
The project, Iran's first nuclear power plant, has been beset by repeated delays due to payment problems on the Iranian side, according to the Russians. Tehran, however, maintains it is because Moscow has been caving into Western pressure to halt the project.
While Russia has continued to oppose a U.S. push for tougher sanctions against Tehran, Russian officials have shown growing irritation with Iran's refusal to freeze its own uranium enrichment effort. Moscow appears to be using its control over the Bushehr project to press Iran for concessions on its nuclear program.
Russian officials say the plant cannot open until six months after fuel is delivered.
Enriched to a low degree, uranium is used as a reactor fuel; higher enrichment creates material for a nuclear warhead.
In a separate report, state television said that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had offered his country's nuclear knowledge to Saudi Arabia.

Q: play html5 video in reverse, on screen load I am working on a functionality where on my screen load, a video should start playing reverse. (from its last frame to the first frame).
It can actually be on screen load or even on a button click.
At this moment, I've achieved until (with the help and support from StackOverflow) playing my video - and playing it in reverse after some duration of time. Here's the code I used-
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
video{
    height: 200px;
}
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {

var video = document.getElementById('video');
var intervalRewind;
$(video).on('play',function(){
    //video.playbackRate = 1.0;
    clearInterval(intervalRewind);
});
$(video).on('pause',function(){
    video.playbackRate = 1.0;
    clearInterval(intervalRewind);
});
$("#speed").click(function() { // button function for 3x fast speed forward
    video.playbackRate = 8.0;
});
$("#negative").click(function() { // button function for rewind
   intervalRewind = setInterval(function(){
       video.playbackRate = 1.0;
       if(video.currentTime == 0){
           clearInterval(intervalRewind);
           video.pause();
       }
       else{
           video.currentTime += -.1;
       }
                },30);
});
});
</script>

</head>
<body>

<video id="video" controls>
    <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.webm" type="video/webm">
    <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.ogv" type="video/ogg">
</video>
        <button id="speed">Fast Forward</button>
        <button id="negative">Rewind</button>
</body>
</html>

Now, I would like to know if there is a chance to play my video in reverse directly i.e. without progressing any duration in the forward direction, the video should start playing in reverse.

A: You need to wait until video is loaded, then you can get it's length with video.duration and then you can set the video current time to this value (Jump to end of the video);
Then you can start playing the video from last frame to first using your negative function.
  video.addEventListener('loadeddata', function() {
     video.currentTime = video.duration;
     $('#negative').click();
  }, false);

There is also nice fiddle about video playbacks at http://jsfiddle.net/UkMV2/5/ found from play a video in reverse using HTML5 video element
Following example is super slightly modified version of your's which achieves the "reverse" playback upon page & video loaded event.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
video{
    height: 200px;
}
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

</head>
<body>

  <video id="video" controls>
      <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.webm" type="video/webm">
      <source src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.ogv" type="video/ogg">
  </video>
  <button id="speed">Fast Forward</button>
  <button id="negative">Rewind</button>

  <script>
  $(function() {

  var video = document.getElementById('video');
  var intervalRewind;

  $(video).on('play',function(){
      //video.playbackRate = 1.0;
      clearInterval(intervalRewind);
  });
  $(video).on('pause',function(){
      video.playbackRate = 1.0;
      clearInterval(intervalRewind);
  });
  $("#speed").click(function() { // button function for 3x fast speed forward
      video.playbackRate = 8.0;
  });
  $("#negative").click(function() { // button function for rewind
     intervalRewind = setInterval(function(){
         video.playbackRate = 1.0;
         if(video.currentTime == 0){
             clearInterval(intervalRewind);
             video.pause();
         }
         else{
             video.currentTime += -.1;
         }
                  },30);
  });

  video.addEventListener('loadeddata', function() {
     video.currentTime = video.duration;
     $('#negative').click();

Obituary for Robert "Bob" Edward Pendell
Robert E. Pendell passed away on Sunday, April 14th, 2019 at SSM Health in Madison, Wisconsin.
Robert was born on July 25th, 1929, the son of Earl W. Pendell and Gertrude 'Zebell' Pendell in Hanover, Wisconsin. He graduated in 1946 from Janesville High School. Robert went on to serve in the United States Navy from 1948-1952, and was a Korean War Veteran. In 1953, he married Yvonne Tait in Evansville, Wisconsin. He was a devoted husband, married for 54 years until her passing in 2007. Together they had three sons. After his time in the Navy, Robert worked for Oscar Mayer for 32 years.
Robert enjoyed hunting and fishing throughout his lifetime. He remained active with the local VFW up until his passing. Robert was a proud man, who rarely showed emotion, unless it was cracking a joke. He loved to make others laugh and tell stories. He owned several dogs throughout his life and to him they were truly "man's best friend". His children and grandchildren will always cherish the memories they had with him.
Robert is predeceased by his parents, his wife Yvonne Tait, his infant brother Charles, and his sister Francis Seeman. He is survived by his three sons Jeffrey, Robert H., and Timothy Pendell, his grandchildren Alicia (Brian) Hookstead and Thomas (Haylee) Pendell, and his great-grandchildren Tatum, Alexis, and Tucker Hookstead.
The family would like to give special thanks to Mary Brzezinski who went above and beyond in helping Robert over the past several years. She became a trusted friend to him and he cherished her kindness and friendship. From the bottom of our hearts, "thank you, Mary". They would also like to thank Norbert Bormett "Tinker" for his friendship to Robert. He also went above and beyond to help Robert and family when in need.
The care Robert received while at SSM Health in his final days was phenomenal. His nurse said he continued to crack jokes up until the end.
As per Robert's wishes, a visitation and funeral will not be planned. His wish was for a simple graveside service with military honors at a later date. The family will notify friends and loved ones when a date has been chosen.
To plant a tree in memory of Robert "Bob" Edward Pendell, please visit our Tribute Store.
Services will be set for a future date to be determined.

One of the hottest trends set for 2016 is makeup but not as we know it. Forget about the 80's make up your thinking of, think blue lips, bold blue eyeliners, metallic and soft blue pastel shades.
Fresh off the catwalk we've seen blue make up everywhere from Chanel to Hugo Boss. MAC is embracing bold colours for NYFW and the trend is only gonna get bigger on the high street in time for summer. Personally, I'm so excited about the prospect of being able to experiment with bold colours and not look silly.
There are so many looks to choose from but whichever you choose make sure you wear it with a natural-looking skin or you will end up looking like your on "Top of the Pops".
For a more natural look try sweeping a light shade over your eyelids or try smoking it out underneath with a natural lid and a blue in your waterline. For a more dramatic look, you could try a bold winged thick eyeliner. Or like me try a navy blue glitter shadow over your lid for a Smokey eye dramatic look, great for a night out!
For a daytime look, you can see of the left I've used a light shade of blue with fluffy lashes. Then for the night time look. I've used a darker shade with glitter and fuller volume lashes to create a more dramatic look.
I mentioned before I bought my shadows from MAC but there are so many choices out there. If you're on a budget or just trying out makeup. Then why not pick up a palate full of different colours to experiment with. I'd recommend Sleek makeup or Makeup revolution from Superdrug, a great addition to your make up kits!

Q: Platform dependent state of mt19937 in C++? I want to save the state of the std::mt19937 random number generator in a C++ program, so that I am able to resume my program at a later stage at the same "randomness state". I also want to use my program on different platforms (Linux and Mac).
Consider the following minimal example where I simply write the current state to stdout:
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
using namespace std;

static mt19937 rng;

int main() {
  seed_seq seeder{1234};
  rng = mt19937(seeder);

  cout << "mt1: " << rng() << endl;
  cout << "mt2: " << rng() << endl;

  cout.imbue(locale("en_US.UTF-8"));
  cout << rng << endl;
}

My problem is that this generates different outputs for the state, depending on the platform I compile this. On a Linux system (g++ 7.1.0) I get:
mt1: 2684129121
mt2: 3957864051
3,598,990,873 2,041,003,246 [...]

while on my Mac (Apple LLVM 8.1.0) I get:
mt1: 2684129121
mt2: 3957864051
1,413,537,266 1,230,536,264 [...]

Basically I want to understand why the states are different and how I can achieve that they are the same so that I can save and load the state between systems.
This question is related to this one:
C++ std::mt19937 and rng state save/load & portability However, the thread does not answer my question. It gave the hint of using the same locale, but that does not seem to affect the state.

A: Because the specifics of how the classes are implemented is up to the compiler/platform, you're really not going to achieve what you're looking for with the STL.
If you want a consistent implementation, then I'd recommend looking at using Boost. It has an implementation of all the Random classes that are STL-compatible. (It also has some advantages over the STL, such as allowing boost::random::random_device to be used as a seed sequence). You can also make your own implementation of the class, though Boost is an existing, cross-platform implementation that you can use.
EDIT:
I wanted to revisit this answer and update it with some more accurate information. At the time I wrote the original answer, I was under the assumption that the standard didn't dictate how operator<< and operator>> worked for the various engines, and that's why it wasn't portable. I've since spent some time reading the standard (draft) documentation for the <random> header, and learned this is actually incorrect. The standard specifies the "textual representation" of the state of all the generators included in the standard library, and the iostream operators are defined based on that. The issue is actually that libstdc++ (the standard library implementation for GCC and sometimes Clang) doesn't implement the standard correctly in this regard. There is an open ticket for the issue, but it's unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.
The challenge with implementing the iostream operators is that mersenne_twister_engine's textual representation shifts all the values over one with each call to operator(). This requires using something like a circular buffer to store the state. libstdc++ tries to optimize this by calculating the changes to the state in state_size chunks. The problem with this method is that the engine doesn't directly store all the values required for the iostream operators most of the time. To work around this issue, libstdc++ opts to instead just output its actual internal state (state_size state values, followed by the "current index" in the state) instead of what the standard requires.
There are a number of ways that libstdc++ could fix their implementation to correctly implement the standard, with pretty much all of them being used by other implementations. It could double the storage used for the engine to keep enough data to always have the values needed for the iostream operators like Microsoft's STL. It could remove the bulk state update and instead update it once for each call to operator() like LLVM's libc++. It could also implement a "rewind" function to compute the values required for the iostream operators when needed like Boost.Random (which increases the computational cost of not just the iostream operators, but also operator==). All of these changes have associated trade-offs, and any such change will probably have to go through some sort of transistion plan to avoid causing too many issues with backwards compatibility. Because of this, it may be a while before it does get fixed, even though there are many ways it can be fixed.

Under Wisconsin's standard listing contract forms, a seller may owe a commission to a broker even if the sale of the property does not close. However, a well-drafted contract can change that, should a seller so desire.
Listing contracts. Many sellers believe a broker's commission is earned only upon the closing of the sale of the property. Yet under Wisconsin's WB-5 Commercial Listing Contract, WB-3 Vacant Land Listing Contract, and the WB-1 Residential Listing Contract, a commission is earned when the seller "accepts an offer which creates an enforceable contract for the sale of all or any part of the property"—regardless of whether the sale is consummated. With the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in Ash Park LLC v. Alexander & Bishop, Ltd., 2015 WI 65 (July 7, 2015), sellers and brokers can expect Wisconsin courts to enforce these provisions.
The Ash Park property. The facts in Ash Park LLC v. Alexander & Bishop, Ltd. were undisputed. Ash Park LLC executed a standard form listing contract (WB-3 Vacant Land Listing Contract) with a broker, Re/Max Select LLC. The contract provided that Ash Park shall pay a commission to Re/Max if Ash Park "accepts an offer which creates an enforceable contract for the sale" of the land. In other words, the listing contract required a commission even without a closed sale. Subsequently, Ash Park entered into a purchase contract for the sale of the land with Alexander & Bishop, Ltd, but the closing never occurred. Ash Park sued Alexander & Bishop and obtained a specific performance judgment. Yet despite the judgment against it, Alexander & Bishop never paid for or acquired the property. Re/Max intervened in the lawsuit prior to final adjudication, seeking its commission, along with prejudgment interest, costs and attorneys' fees.
Principles and policy. The supreme court rejected Ash Park's two counterarguments. First, the court ruled that Alexander & Bishop's failure to pay the judgment had no bearing on whether or not the purchase contract was enforceable: "The enforceability of a contract turns on whether there is a remedy available for a breach, not whether a judgment issued in response to a breach is satisfied." Second, the court determined that forcing a seller to pay a commission even without a closed sale does not violate public policy. The court explained: "The result in the instant case does seem harsh to Ash Park. But . . . [d]eclining to order Ash Park to pay Re/Max its commission is not only contrary to the contract language; it is also unfair to Re/Max, which expended efforts to locate a buyer." In the end, the supreme court held that the purchase contract was enforceable, and Re/Max was entitled to its commission under the listing contract, even though no sale had ever closed.
