New profile pic, new target.
The metric equivalent to 13.1 miles.
12 training weeks from March 31, the day I'll start training to run a half-marathon.
To run 21.097494 km on June 22.
I'll probably be running by myself, unless I decide to organize a local HM event.
What's bizarre about this target is that until a year ago, I've never considered myself a runner. Then last year I trained for and ran 10k, plus. Wasn't *so* hard. I've been following so many distance runners my age here on SP that I figured, "Why not? You've nothing to lose, plenty to gain by trying."
So, here I am, committing myself to my SparkPeople friends and gurus, to train for and, barring unforeseen circumstances, complete a half-marathon distance run in the first half of 2013. There's also a near-by Fall Classic that I'll most likely join come September.
We'll try to keep your sole solo soles outta the fire.
You can do this Ken! I love this goal!
Great goal Ken! You can do it and lots of others believe in you too!
Ahhh, public commitment, the essential first step in achieving a lofty goal!
Good on you! That's exactly what I did before my first marathon! Told all my family & friends and paid the entry fee....I'd be damned before I didn't run and finish that race!
Enjoy....we'll expect regular training updates my friend!
You can do it Ken! Train for it! warm up! drink water! I am in your corner!

Q: How does GZipStream determine the size of compressed data I have two files (I use 7zip): n1.txt.gz and n2.txt.gz. Then I combine them to the file n12.txt.gz by command prompt:
type n1.txt.gz > n12.txt.gz
type n2.txt.gz >> n12.txt.gz

If I decompress the file n12.txt.gz by 7zip, I will get combined decompressed original files (n1.txt + n2.txt).
But if I use this code
public static void Decompress2(String fileSource, String fileDestination, int buffsize)
{
 using (var fsInput = new FileStream(fileSource, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
 {
  using (var fsOutput = new FileStream(fileDestination, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
  {
   using (var gzipStream = new GZipStream(fsInput, CompressionMode.Decompress))
   {
    var buffer = new Byte[buffsize];
    int h;
    while ((h = gzipStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
    {
     fsOutput.Write(buffer, 0, h);
    }
   }
  }
 }
}

I will get just decompressed first part of n12.txt.gz, i.e. decompressed n1.txt.
Why does GZipStream stop after first part of combined file? And how does 7zip decompress the whole file?

A: GZipStream does not implement methods to decompress multiple files from one stream.
Try using a library which handles ZIP archives such as DotNetZip.
If you absolutelly wanto to use GZipStream you could search the input stream for the gzip header and then feed GZipStream only the portions of the stream belonging to each file.

The World Cup is unlikely to trigger an uplift in overall TV advertising revenues, says Channel 4 sales director Andy Barnes, despite the premium usually created by the football fever. He adds that June will be the fifth cheapest month to buy television advertising space in the past five years.
His comments add to the furore that has developed around the "appalling" state of television advertising this year, with media agencies and owners expecting a 3%-5% drop year-on-year. In 2005, the overall market was down 21% against the previous June – during the football tournament Euro 2004.
The lack of advertisers lining up to book space around the World Cup will hit ITV the hardest, although other broadcasters are also feeling the pinch. ITV had been banking on increased demand after a slow start to the year, with bookings expected to be up by as much as 20%.
Barnes says: "Advertisers have avoided the World Cup. From a Channel 4 perspective it is less of a problem but it is still a problem because the event should bring more money into TV in general.
"Why aren't advertisers in the World Cup? June this year is going to be the fifth cheapest month in the past five years," he says, adding that World Cup months usually attract increased spend.
Starcom UK trading director Chris Locke agrees: "Whatever June is, July and August will be much worse." He does not believe advertisers have been put off by price, but by their own budget and "creative" restraints.

President Trump lashed out at television news networks on Tuesday for having a supposedly "sick and biased" agenda while defending the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
The president's latest caustic attack against the media came amid revelations that Sinclair, which owns local TV stations across the country, required local news anchors to warn viewers of "the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country." Trump then zeroed in on the cable channel that has become his favorite foil: CNN.
Trump directed his Twitter fire at CNN executive Jeff Zucker, who played a key role at NBC in boosting Trump's reality show, "The Apprentice." But Trump, who's had trouble with spelling, didn't appear to remember how to spell Zucker's last name.
CNN quickly responded in tweets replying to Trump.
Trump's long-running feud with CNN predates his presidency. During the 2016 campaign, Trump often complained about the network's coverage of his candidacy — singling out CNN's cameras at his rallies and suggesting that Zucker would not have been hired by CNN if it were not for him.
And it has spilled over throughout his first 15 months in office. Last summer, Trump infamously shared a superimposed wrestling video of himself slamming CNN to the ground.

Q: Issue with uitableview cell background Ok, this is broken as of iOS 7 Beta 6.
On startup, I changed the background of the table view to an image (it does the same thing if I set it to a color) and the table cells are white...
When I select a cell, go to the next view, and then go back to this view... the cells are the same as the view background (except the cell I selected)...
This is where I set the background...
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {

pacListTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"dotted-pattern.png"]];
pacListTableView.backgroundView = nil;

[super viewWillAppear:animated];

}
Any ideas?  It works fine on iOS and below.

A: Try setting background color of your table view cell to clear color. Until IOS 7 default background was clear color. But with IOS 7 it has changed to  White color. So you have to manually set it to clear color.

A: With iOS7 the default backgroundColor of a cell is white instead of clearColor. You have to explicitly set the desired backgroundColor on the cell's contentView (not on the cell itself).
So in your case you'd have to insert
cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

inside
 - (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

François Damiens (* 17. ledna 1973, Uccle, Belgie) je belgický herec, komik a režisér.

Životopis
Po studiu na střední škole Cardinal Mercier v Braine-l'Alleud se specializoval v ekonomickém oboru. Dále absolvoval postgraduální studium na vysoké ekonomické škole se specializací na mezinárodní obchod. V rámci studijního pobytu strávil čtyři měsíce v Austrálii a vydal se poté do světa audiovizuálních médií.

Již od dětství jej fascinovaly herecké scénky a skeče a k této oblasti se dostal náhodou. Dostal se do televizního pořadu, který pracuje na principu skryté kamery (Keynews Télévision). Svou kariéru začal ve dvojici s Wassilem Zakim v sérii scének se skrytou kamerou, které měly být vysílány v letadle. Postupem času také moderoval pořad na stanici RTL-TVI, kde nahradil Jeana-Michela Zeccu. Při této příležitosti vytváří osobu Françoise L'Embrouille, kterou využívá při svých skečích se skrytou kamerou. V Belgii se stane tak populárním, že musí svůj pořad v roce 2004 zrušit, protože již nemůže hrát, aniž by ho nikdo nepoznal, přesouvá se tehdy do Francie. Ve Francii, stejně jako ve Švýcarsku, se jeho pořad těšil též velké popularitě.

V roce 2006 začal s filmovým herectvím díky komické dvojici Éricovi a Ramzymu, kteří jej představí Michelovi Hazanaviciusovi, a ten právě připravoval film Agent 117, Damiens byl tedy obsazen do jedné z menších rolí. Od té doby se objevuje převážně v komediích.

Mluví třemi jazyky, kromě své rodné francouzštiny zvládá též nizozemštinu a angličtinu.

V roce 2018 přišel jeho režijní debut ve snímku Mon Ket, v němž si i zahrál.

Breakfast at the table. Behind the wheel commuting to work. In your chair at your desk. Eating lunch in the office or at a restaurant. Meetings all afternoon. At your computer until the evening. Commute home. Dinner. Watch Netflix. Surf on your phone until you fall asleep and start the same routine next morning.
Think about how many hours you spend sitting each day.
I assume it's the old J-O-B that keeps you stationary the majority of the time. Most white-collar positions have you planted at a desk, sitting and staring into the infinite depths of a computer monitor for at least 40 hours a week.
It's simple and addictive. Your eyes glaze over. You slouch forward. You're locked into position where the only things in motion are your eyeballs, wrists and mouse-clicking finger.
Unfortunately, being this sedentary physically hurts the body and mind of both you and any always-seated employees.
Sitting disease is a real thing. It increases your risk of Type 2 diabetes (big time), heart disease and cancer (breast and colon). Even people who exercise 60 minutes a day don't offset the damage caused by sitting for six hours. Six mothertruckin' hours!
I wouldn't be surprised if most of us are sitting 12-14 hours a day. When you add 6-8 hours of sleep, the average desk-jockey is a motionless mass.
"But, Joe," you say to me in your head, "why are you being all preachy and talking about health and what not? This is a marketing, communications and advertising blog."
I harp on this stuff because sitting too much not only makes your cells burn less fuel/fat, it reduces brain activity.
And lets face it: your best work requires an active intellect.
You own and operate a creative, unique, powerful human mind. You are paid to strategically solve problems affecting your business and the business of your clients.
The longer you remain in non-human positions—such as scrunched up at a desk— the less blood circulates in your cranium.
Do you want old blood sticking around in your head? Not if you want to think tactically and for longer.
With your to-do list already soaking up your whole day, you don't have time to puzzle through brain teasers. You aren't filling your lunch hour (really, a half-hour) skimming Trivial Pursuit cards or sketching Reiffel-esque landscapes.
Get mental and physical fitness from where it's most simple: Standing up and working at your computer more often.
Standing puts less pressure on your spinal discs compared to sitting. It forces millions of nerves and muscle fibers to fire in the lower half of your body which would otherwise lay dormant. Staying on your feet keeps the brain busy fighting gravity's force…a job normally reserved for a stupid ol' chair.
You not only extend your life expectancy by sitting less than three hours a day, your mind stays more engaged which means your work is focused.
Would love to hear what you think about the way we work nowadays. If you're interested in trying out standing while working at a computer, please check this short questionnaire I created. I'll gladly share how to build this simple wooden desktop computer stand.

Canada to allow more foreign investment in airlines
OTTAWA,(Pakistan Point News - APP -3rd nov,2016) - Canada will raise the maximum share groups of foreign investors may hold in its airlines from 25 percent to 49 percent in order to stimulate the industry, the transportation minister said Thursday. The move would "set the conditions for lower fares and increased competition," Marc Garneau said in a speech. "This will lead to more options for Canadians and allow the creation of new, ultra-low cost airlines.
" The old cap would still apply to individual investors, however. The consumer cost of travel within Canada is among the highest anywhere because of the country's size. The world's second-largest nation by territory, it spans 9,306 kilometers (5,780 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. The government plans to introduce legislation to bring about the change soon, Garneau said. In the meantime, the former astronaut said he would grant exceptions to allow two upstarts -- Canada Jetlines, which has secured a European partner, and US-backed Enerjet -- to immediately seek out foreign investment.
Both ultra-low cost airlines applauded the measures. Canada currently has two national airlines -- Air Canada and Westjet, both profitable -- and a handful of regional carriers. Garneau also promised measures aimed at boosting the quality of airline services, shortening airport security lines, reducing travel fees and clearly delineating minimum compensation for passengers' missed flights and lost luggage.

Personality Profiles
Multicultural students embrace interpersonal discovery
Kelly Tran|February 15, 2021
Courtesy of Inaya Abdul-Haqq
Senior Inaya Abdul-Haqq reminisces about her Caribbean roots as she poses for a picture in St. Lucia in December 2019. Abdul-Haqq returned to the island to reconnect with her family and culture.
A mixture of foreign tongues and belongings fill the homes of multicultural students. English phrases blend with those of their native language, showing a glimpse of what life is like for multicultural students.
"I think all different sides of my culture and my identity play really well together," said senior Inaya Abdul-Haqq, a Caribbean-American student who is also Muslim.
However, adjusting to different cultures can also be troubling for students with multicultural backgrounds.
Junior Shaya Moghim-Larestani was in fourth grade in Iran when she migrated to America in 2014. Moghim-Larestani is Iranian-Persian and, despite her time in the United States, still finds it difficult.
"I had to adapt to another set of culture, American culture, really quickly when I was little," Moghim-Larestani said. "I feel like I've kind of lost a bit of my own family's culture. I mean, we celebrated New Year's and special holidays, but having not a lot of family members around you also impacts you, not being in contact with your family day to day. I feel like you can lose your sense of culture."

That feeling of cultural disappearance often manifests itself through a language barrier.
"I'm starting to forget how to write Farsi," Moghim-Larestani said. "Whenever I'm talking to my grandparents, I don't know how to speak to them. And it just feels so crazy to me when I start speaking in Farsi, because what I say doesn't sound sincere. I don't know the words to say what I want to say with sincerity."
This loss is common among students living with two cultures.
"The first time I visited my family in Texas I actually didn't speak it [Vietnamese] at all," said Henry Ngyuen, a Vietnamese-American Grady alum who graduated in 2020. "The only time I spoke it was with very basic Vietnamese. It sounded like I was talking like a baby. So speaking to [family members] who were almost my same age, maybe two years my senior, and struggling to speak Vietnamese was so hard."
Distance from their own culture isn't the only thing multicultural students face, there's also a disconnect with American society and language.
"Even speaking or communicating in English, I feel there's a language barrier," Moghim-Larestani said. "Sometimes, I don't understand people, even though I've been here for almost six years."
For many, it's the little things that remind them that they come from a different background.
"There are times where I don't really understand, like pop culture references," junior William Charlop, who is Ukrainian Jewish-American, said. "Like 90s movies. And I've watched some of them. But it's like, having your own culture and knowing about it. I mean, on one hand, it isolates you, but it also makes you feel more connected."

Some multicultural students believe Americans should be more understanding of their cultural differences.
"I feel like people shouldn't get mad over the smallest things such as not understanding a Western reference, or small things like that, because coming from a whole different side of the world to a new place and adapting is difficult as it is," Moghim-Larestani said.
Many multicultural students end up feeling isolated from both cultures and begin to question where they fit in.
"I think that all of those three different cultures coming into play can sometimes be kind of conflicting, because in terms of being Muslim and having that whole culture because it's a religion with people from all over the world," Abdul-Haqq said. "You end up seeing and being a part of different cultures, and you start to question what am I, what's my identity?"
This has often led to multicultural students feeling confused about their identity.
"Fully coming into, like your identity, and realizing who you are is so difficult," Charlop said. "Especially in middle school, because you really want to fit in, and sometimes, you can disrespect your own culture on accident. There are some things you let happen, that now you wouldn't."
Some multicultural students have learned to compartmentalize.
"At home, I mostly speak Farsi and throw in some English words, so I feel like my Iranian self is my household," Moghim-Larestani said. "But when I leave the house, it's still a part of me, but I become westernized."
Others find it easier to live two separate lives.
"I keep them separate," Nguyen said. " I acknowledge that they're both of my life, but sometimes having them connected causes them to interfere with each other. In my mind, trying to combine them isn't a good idea."
For others, however, the divide isn't as apparent.
"I used to always think that I only had one culture because of the fact that being St. Lucian or being Caribbean, and being American, kind of played so well together; I never really noticed that I was different until later," Abdul-Haqq said.
Despite these interpersonal struggles, being multicultural has also brought new and important skills to light.
"The experience on both sides is really cool, because it also makes you able to empathize with people better," Charlop said. "Because you're able to, like, see different perspectives from a young age, and be able to understand not everyone's gonna be like you."
Living in these kinds of environments have allowed some students to understand the world a little better.
"The fact that I got in touch with so many cultures from such a young age really brought in this sense of being open and being understanding of people, not necessarily, even culture wise, but religion or ethnicity, or sexuality," Abdul-Haqq said. "It all comes from a place where they're all different people, but we are all the same. When you look down and you get into the nitty gritty of everything, and everyone, we're all the same, and I think that being in a multicultural space and community instilled those values for me. It all comes from a place where everyone is a different person, but we are all the same."

No matter what; metal, wood, plastic- anything she touched would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter. He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."

Recently a salesperson turned up at our office proposing to sell Kingston 32 GB pen drives for a very cheap price (Rs.1200 each). He claimed that he had stolen some of them from the port when the shipment arrived. We were not interested and so did not purchase any of them.
As soon as he left, we did a google for the actual price of Kingston 32 GB pen drive. What we came across was a large number of articles mentioning about fake 32 GB Kingston pen drives.

Equiniti chooses Datactics to trace shares
Equiniti has purchased FlowDesigner from Datactics to enhance its data matching and research capabilities
Equiniti Data Services has announced its purchase of FlowDesigner from Datactics Ltd, a market leader in data quality and matching software, to enhance its data matching and research capabilities.
Equiniti Data Services has over 25 years experience in identity verification, customer tracing, mortality screening and data enrichment services. In particular, it runs large scale tracing programmes using sophisticated business analytics to return unclaimed assets, such as shares to their rightful owners. This means that Equiniti Data Services clients, including many FTSE 100 PLCs, keep their share registers up-to-date, improving data quality and reducing costs associated with operations, such as the distribution of annual company reports.
The decision to use Datactics was made after a short Proof-of-Concept study using real client data. Datactics flagship product, FlowDesigner, ran in parallel with existing systems, allowing both outputs to be compared to measure the quality of client data and accuracy of matching. Datactics was considered to be easy to use, with Equiniti Data Services data content specialists being able to build sophisticated matching logic without the need for software programming. Another notable benefit of FlowDesigner, was its powerful in-memory engine which will become a key component of Equiniti Data Services' expanding big data services.
Equiniti has further plans to implement a new pre-analytics layer using Datactics FlowDesigner that will on-board, profile and cleanse 'big' client files (made up of millions of records) before matching against third party sources, such as name and address data, national registers and social media. This will help to automate a predominantly manual matching process and vastly improve the speed and accuracy of Equiniti Data Services match rate, enabling resources to be freed for expert analysts to conduct further research in more detail.
Duncan Stevens, Managing Director at Equiniti Data Services, commented: "With 11% of the UK population moving house each year and around 353,000 people emigrating, keeping track of customers can prove difficult. With the expansion of our service offering we have opened up a wealth of opportunities enabling us to target further markets which will extend our client base to companies and organisations based outside of the UK."
"Datactics provided us with a fast and scalable solution that integrated easily with our existing workflows and was implemented in a matter of weeks.Equiniti Data Services is constantly on-boarding large volumes of citizen data. Fast and efficient standardisation of this data is vital to our business. This easy-to-use software has enabled us to accelerate and simplify many core tasks."
Commenting on the deal, Stuart Harvey, Datactics CEO, said, "We are delighted to have been signed by a major financial services innovator like Equiniti. Our willingness to engage in a proof of concept at short notice with the Equiniti Data Services team convinced them of our strengths in the area of data quality and matching. We look forward to working with other units of the Equiniti Group as they seek to employ our technology more widely."

3 countries are denying a lesbian couple's baby & now she doesn't have citizenship anywhere
"I'm her mother no matter which country I'm in," one of her mothers said. She's suing because being stateless could harm her baby for life.
By Alex Bollinger Tuesday, February 9, 2021
A lesbian couple is suing after three countries denied their baby a passport because she has two mothers. Both of the mothers' countries and the country the "Baby S" was born in are all refusing to give her a passport.
The mothers are now taking their case Europe's Court of Justice in Luxembourg, worried that the combination of anti-LGBTQ laws and varying citizenship rules could ruin their baby's life. If Baby S remains stateless, she could have difficulty enrolling in school, getting a job, or accessing health care.
Related: The Trump administration is denying citizenship to the kids of gay parents if they're born abroad
Baby S was born in Spain and both of her mothers, who are married to each other, are on her birth certificate. But Spain doesn't have birthright citizenship and neither of her mothers are Spanish citizens, so Spain won't grant her citizenship.
One of her mothers is from Gibraltar, which is a British Overseas Territory. But the U.K. doesn't recognize Baby S because her British mother – who is on her birth certificate – acquired her citizenship by descent and therefore can't pass her citizenship on to her children if they're not born in the U.K.
The other mother is from Bulgaria, and the mothers applied for a Bulgarian birth certificate for their daughter so that they could eventually get her a passport. But Bulgaria also refused because the baby has two mothers on her birth certificate, citing their constitution which defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
"It's caused us a lot of upset," Baby S's Bulgarian mother, whose name has not been made public, told Reuters. "This discrimination feels very personal and has shocked us."
She said that their extended family hasn't even met the baby since her birth in December 2019 yet because she can't obtain a passport to travel.
The Bulgarian mother is suing Bulgaria in the E.U. court so that her child will not grow up stateless. Bulgaria and Spain are E.U. member states, but the U.K. is not.
"I want to tell [the court] I'm her mother no matter which country I'm in. It's very unfortunate that I can be her mother in Spain… but I can't be her mother in my own home country," she said.
"This ruling will be important for many people," said the mother's lawyer Denitsa Lyubenova. "There are a lot of same-sex couples in Europe in the same position, whose children are at risk of statelessness because E.U. member states in central and eastern Europe do not recognize their family status."
The court in Luxembourg is hearing another, similar case from two mothers who are from Poland and Ireland and who had a child in Spain.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament last year that she intends to strengthen LGBTQ family rights.
"If you are [a] parent in one country, you are [a] parent in every country," she said.

Aligned with the new eight-year Medium-term Strategy of UNESCO (2014-2021), the eighth phase of IHP (IHP-VIII) was prepared through a 3-year comprehensive consultation process with Member States. IHP-VIII will aim to improve water security in response to local, regional, and global challenges. Multidisciplinary and environmentally sound approaches to water resources management will be sought. The role of human behavior, cultural beliefs and attitudes to water, and socio-economic research to better understand and develop tools to adapt to changing water availability are some of the issues to be addressed.
IHP-VIII will bring innovative methods, tools and approaches into play by capitalizing on advances in water sciences, as well as building competences to meet the challenges of today's global water challenges. UNESCO centres and chairs will play an important role in this process.

Australia 1 – 2 Italy
This was among the wildest soccer games I have ever seen in person, and I was at one of the bonkers 5-4 games between Seattle and Sky Blue a couple years ago, so I know what a wild soccer game is like.
Australia came into the tournament as an exciting team with a chance to go far, but with a wretched defense and a lot of concerns about whether they could fix it. This game sure did not help to alleviate those concerns. Italy had the goal in the net in the opening fifteen minutes, only to have it disallowed on a very close offside call. This would definitely be a pattern.
Over the rest of the game, Australia's high and ragged line was broken time and again by the quick Italian forwards, who raced in behind and laid waste to Lydia Williams' goal. Time and again, those plays were called back on the offside rule. But the margins were often razor thin. Australia was clearly playing with fire, and eventually they got burned, with Italy pulling it back to 1-1 after a ghastly mistake from Claire Polkinghorne, who gave the ball away and then watched Barbara Bonansea put away the goal.
Unlike many games in this tournament, which have wilted pretty heavily in the second half, this one grew and multiplied, growing only more intense with every minute. First Australia threatened, then Italy came back. Lisa De Vanna nearly got sent off within fifteen minutes of subbing on. The Australians began falling over as soon as they entered the box, desperately hoping for a penalty.
In the end, it was Italy that found the winner, thanks to another dumb mistake from Australia, who needlessly conceded a set piece, and then watched helplessly as Sam Kerr backpedaled desperately and just missed clearing the ball, leaving Bonansea free at the back post to nod it in.
And the crowd erupted. And so did the Italian team.
My favorite was Girelli's very genuine delight, when asked about Bonansea's winner: "We were surprised because Barbara doesn't usually score with her head. We were like 'oh my god, what did you do?!'" — Charles Olney (@olneyce) June 9, 2019
Australia is still probably fine. They'll be favorites in their other two games, and even a draw against Brazil wouldn't kill them, since four points is effectively a guarantee to advance under this system. By the same token, Italy is now in very good shape. A result against Jamaica is by no means certain, but that would be sufficient to advance them to the knockout stage, a big deal for a team that hasn't been to this tournament in two decades.
Brazil 3 – 0 Jamaica
All of us soccer experts managed to talk ourselves into believing that Jamaica could potentially pull this off, but it ended up a comfortable win that the casual fan always expected. There were many factors involved. Jamaica definitely looked like a team attending their first World Cup, with quite a few nerves getting in their way. They also struggled in the midfield, as expected, and played a slightly naïve system that pushed high too often and left them critically exposed. Only a showstopping performance from Sydney Schneider in goal kept them in the match for as long as they were.
For Brazil, this was obviously a nice performance and a great way to break a long losing streak. Jamaica weren't that bad, but Brazil dominated the game, and provided a nice template for how they should play against stronger opposition. It also built well on a set of performances at SheBelieves in February and March that didn't produce any results but at least looked more credible than some of what we saw from them in 2018. There are still a lot of holes in this team, but they once again look like a viable player on the big stage. It'll take another strong performance against a better team to really convince me, but the world is better when Brazil is good, so let's hope so.
The big topic is how (and maybe whether) they should reintegrate Marta. I am a strong believer that Marta makes everyone around her better, and don't think Brazil's struggles had anything to do with her being in the team. So I'm entirely on the side of bringing her back in when healthy. But if nothing else, this performance gives them some runway to work with if she isn't immediately 100%.
For Jamaica, this was probably their best chance for a result, so their odds of making it out of the group have definitely taken a hit. But it's by no means over, and there was a lot to like in this performance. Shaw didn't find the net, but she showed plenty of the talent that made everyone talk her up. And the team as a whole looked far more solid and coherent than they did even a few months ago. There's still a chance for something special from this group of players.
England 2 – 1 Scotland
I missed this game entirely, thanks to poor train station wireless. But it sounds like a fun one, with England in full control for the first hour or so, only to let things slip away a bit and invite Scotland back into the game.
It doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. But it's nice to get some confirmation that England is, in fact, pretty good. And that Phil Neville actually does have a pretty clear idea of how he wants to set his team up – despite quite a bit of pre-tournament hand-wringing about his tinkering and inconstancy. It was also nice to get some confirmation that Scotland are a perfectly credible team, who can pose real challenges to anyone in the tournament.
I'm really looking forward to seeing both of these teams play going forward.
– I wrote a piece for AllForXI about the Hegerberg conversations, and all the ways that we continue to harass women by demanding impossible levels of perfection and refusing to respect the dignity of their decisions. For more on the subject, check out this nice piece from Meg Linehan on the nature of resistance and different aspects of the fight for equality.
– I also wrote a piece right here at Backline about the Video Assistant Referee system, and the way it's beginning to take over the experience of these games.
– Sydney Schneider put on a ridiculous display in one of the CONCACAF qualifying games I got to watch back in Texas last fall, and I have been a huge fan ever since. Glad to see her turn in a good game in the World Cup. And she's still only 19! And hey, while we're on the subject, go read this great article on Schneider.
– I find it strangely comforting that Sam Kerr is kind of rubbish at taking penalties. It's just a nice reminder that no one, even a superhero like Kerr, is perfect at everything.
– Good news! According to Jaclyn Mahoney at Football Reference, we're well ahead of the pace for yellow cards per match (at 2.9 this year, compared to 2.0 and 2.1 in the last two tournaments). I'm a firm believer in giving out more cards.
Tomorrow's action
Argentina – Japan. This should be an easy win for Japan, with Argentina one of the weakest teams in the tournament. But it will still be an interesting test for this young Japan team. Will they put away their chance easily or make it difficult? It will also be the second game in Paris, and I'll be curious to see how the atmosphere compares to the crackling opening night.
Canada – Cameroon. Again, this should be fairly straightforward. But the potential contrast in styles, at a minimum, should make it interesting. Canada is one of the most conservative teams in the tournament, scoring few and conceding fewer, while Cameroon is one of the most open. It's also always worth watching Canada, because we're nearly critical stages of the Christine Sinclair countdown.

Google tests Loon in the Brazilian northeast
The internet-enabled balloons were launched in two cities in the state of Piauí
By Angelica Mari for Brazil Tech | June 6, 2014 -- 21:17 GMT (14:17 PDT) | Topic: Google
Google has sent its internet-enabled balloons into the stratosphere in the northeastern state of Piauí today (6) as part of its partnership with the Brazilian government to connect remote areas of the country.
Five balloons were launched as part of the experiment in the state capital, Teresina, and close to the Equator. According to Google Brazil president Fabio Coelho, the geographic positioning of the state, as well as its current dry season influenced the location choice.
The five balloons will be floating in the stratosphere for about 100 days, according to Coelho. Today's event follows a previous experiment last month, also in Piauí, when two balloons were launched and one of them provided internet access to a school in the north of the state for about an hour.
Communications minister Paulo Bernardo attended the launch and mentioned that launching the balloons in Piauí was a request from his office, since only 27 percent households in the northeastern state of just over three million people have access to the internet.
Talks between the Brazilian government and Google around using the company's internet-enabled balloons started lin October last year , at the same time the government announced its own plans to use the equipment to take internet access to remote areas of the country.
At the time, minister Bernardo said that he asked the internet giant to produce equipment that could be tested in early 2014 and picked senior officials in the Ministry of Telecommunications and state-owned telco Telebrás to work on the potential partnership.
It is understood that the governmental internet-powered balloons was an idea championed by the former president of Telebrás, Caio Bonilha. Since the executive stepped down in January, it appears that the Google partnership has progressed a lot further.

This may be one of the most bizarre ex-military vehicles currently in operation.
A Russian mechanics expert has restored a Soviet-era military vehicle that moves without the use of wheels or tracks – but is entirely screw-propelled.
Originally built in the 1970s, the vehicle uses giant metal screws which move it forward by twisting across the ground.
Formerly used by the Russian military, the truck was purchased by Alexei Anikin, who is the Director at JSC Plant of All-terrain Vehicles.
His team restored the motor back to working order, recently testing it swampland near the Nizhniy Novgorod Region in Russia.
The unique truck can move across most difficult terrains, including water, swampland and snow.
Fitted with a 159bhp engine, it is capable of carrying diggers, cranes and rescue equipment to areas that were previously inaccessible by land.
Umar Vakhidov, Deputy Head of the Construction at Novgorod State Technical University said: "We think, that it will be actively used, at first, by the army, at second, by geologists, by oil and gas producers.
Screw-propelled machines were first used by the military during the Second World War, after a German soldier came up with a design for a snow machine using the mechanism.
The USA used similar vehicles to transport supplies across swamp lands during the Vietnam War, but they have remained largely disused since the mid-1970s.


While their name naturally polarises, their live show entertained. Autotuned vocals strung alongside sparse trap beats and decked head-to-toe in all white apparel, there were more than a few were shades of Yung Lean in their sound and look.
Perhaps they are a super group of established artists – far from uncommon in Iceland – or perhaps they are just shy. Either way, their smooth, autotuned R&B grabbed people's attention this year and a flurry of shows in Reykjavik ensued, including a much-praised set at the recent Airwaves Festival.
The unfortunately-named Vaginaboys deliver far more than their moniker suggests, something like a hip-hop Nicolas Winding Refn soundtrack, sonically louche and vibrantly neon.
What makes Vaginaboys seem so fresh is their amazing aesthetic sense: it's clear that everything they do is painstakingly thought-out, calibrated and unveiled accordingly. Nonchalance is so 2000s.

Government Reviews Capital Allowances for Business and Commercial Property
| on: Tue 3rd Jul 2018 By Rob Durrant-Walker in: Tax
Taxpayers save around £21bn a year in tax through the capital allowances system of claiming on cars, machinery, and property. The Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) cites that statistic in releasing its 88 page conclusion last week on simplifying capital allowances, and the question of whether businesses should claim a simplified version through their accounts depreciation instead.
The headline to take from the OTS report is really that the relief seems here to stay, though it's not a clean bill of health on "simplicity". The OTS says in its summary that "replacing CAs with depreciation would be a radical change. It could be done and this report describes how. It is not clear that it should be done. The long term benefits it would deliver would not be enough to make the disruption worthwhile. However, nothing in this review has made the structure of the CA regime seem simple. It is complicated and at times unfair as between different businesses. The only benefit of the way that tax relief is currently given is that it exists already and some people are familiar with it."
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) is flagged as a success. The AIA allows businesses to write off up to £200,000 a year of qualifying capital assets against their profits. HMRC estimates that the AIA means around 80% of business then have no further need to calculate different rates of relief on different types of assets. The OTS recommends that increasing the AIA threshold would be a quick win to simplify some aspects of capital allowances for businesses. It would also have the benefit of cash flow for larger businesses.
On the specialised area of capital allowances on property the OTS writes that changing it would be "contentious as some would gain and others lose compared with the current CAs". Overall, the OTS reports that no great desire for change has been expressed to them, though in the longer term changes may yet come.
At Garbutt + Elliott we have a specialised capital allowances team which advises on and identifies millions of pounds worth of allowances for our clients each year, particular in the specialised area of property – from flagpoles, to sloping floors in breweries.

Lashed by the Storm
By: Dan La BotzApril 5, 2020
This article was written for L'Anticapitaliste, the weekly newspaper of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) of France.
The United States is now being lashed by the storm of the coronavirus pandemic with hundreds of thousands of cases and 8,400 deaths (as of April 5), millions are unemployed, and federal relief payments have not yet arrived, so millions cannot pay their rent or mortgages. As of today, New York City is the epicenter with over 63,000 cases and 2,254 deaths. The disease here in New York is growing exponentially, and is expected to peak between April 9 and April 15. Yet despite the conditions, workers organize and fight back.
Altogether 41 of 50 states, the District of Columbia, three counties, eight cities, and Puerto Rico now have stay-at-home orders, affecting at total of 311 of about 330 million Americans. Shutdowns and quarantines have put an estimated 12 million people out of work, which raises the unemployment rate to 12 percent, already two percent higher than during the recession of 2008—and the economic crisis is just beginning. The United States is entering another great depression that could be worse than that of the 1930s. At the same time, millions of "essential workers," often low-paid service workers, desperate for a wage, continue to labor putting themselves in danger of contracting the disease.
Racial and economic inequality in American society mean that the virus is having a greater impact on people of color and the poor. The poor in America are more likely to have health conditions—diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular disease—that make them more vulnerable to Covid-19. They also live in more crowded conditions, meaning coronavirus spreads more rapidly. Maps show that black and Latino areas in New York and other cities are being harder hit, with proportionally more cases. White communities have had more access to testing than black and Latino communities.
The U.S. Congress will consider another bailout package beyond the two trillion already allocated principally to support big business, but also for health care, and financial support for workers. From laws passed so far, millions of workers should receive the first of six weeks of payments on April 17 though others will get them later—but the rent for most was due on April 1. Worker will get $600 a week above their state unemployment benefits, but those vary from $275 to $713 dollars.
The United States also has eight million undocumented immigrant workers, most of whom will be ineligible for any federal relief payment. And immigrants who have visas that allow them to work will receive unemployment and federal payments for only 60 days, after which they lose their visas if they are unemployed.
President Donald Trump has continued to provide misleading or confusing information in contradiction to health authorizes. When the Centers for Disease Control has recommended that people wear a mask when going outside to prevent non-symptomatic people from spreading the disease to other, but Trump said it was voluntary and that he would not. Governors in Delaware, Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia have also confused the situation, calling for social distancing but allowing church services.
Workers—with or without unions—have carried strikes large and small, principally over health and safety issues raised by the pandemic. Autoworkers in Detroit, garbage collectors in Philadelphia, chicken processing workers in Georgia, shipyard workers in Maine, grocery warehouse workers in Memphis, and servers at a bar and restaurant in Portland, Oregon have struck. At Amazon, a non-union company with 750,000 workers, there has been a series of strikes in New York, Chicago, and the Detroit area.
Those of us in Solidarity and in the Democratic Socialists of America, meeting through video conferences, are involved in organizing among teachers, nurses, warehouse workers, and other workplaces, as well as in communities. We are calling for legislation to protect everyone's health and well-being. We fight for reforms and we are fighting for socialism.

Q: Using wordpress shortcode to add html attributes I am modifying a wordpress theme.  I want to be able to give the option to have a link open in a new tab using shortcode.
// add shortcode for About Our Charity Section
function theme_about_charity($atts, $content = null){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'title' => '',
        'icon' => '',
        'link' => '',
        'last'  => '',
        'newTab' => ''
    ),$atts));
        return '

' .$title.'

'.$content.'

';
    }
add_shortcode('about_charity','theme_about_charity');

when the user creates the shortcode:
[about_charity icon="icon" title="title" link="#" newTab="yes" ]lorem ipsum[/about_charity]

Right now the code is just printing, "_blank" onto my web page.
The code works for modifying the id attribute of the div but not the target attribute of the link.  Can someone explain this and offer a suggestion for how to make this work?  Thanks!

A: There are two mistakes we found
We have resolved and updated code as below Please replace the below function as well as a shortcode.
Function as below:

// add shortcode for About Our Charity Section
function theme_about_charity($atts, $content = null){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'title' => '',
        'icon' => '',
        'link' => '',
        'last'  => '',
        'newtab' => ''
    ),$atts));
    return '

' .$title.'

'.$content.'

';
}
add_shortcode('about_charity','theme_about_charity');

Shortcode as below:

[about_charity icon="icon" title="title1" link="https://www.google.com" newtab="yes" ]lorem ipsum[/about_charity]

I hope it will work for you Because we have tried and it get works for me.
Thanks!

April 10 is the earliest date in the year on which no measurable snow has ever been observed in Washington, DC. A trace fell on this date in 1975. An inch or more has occurred as late as the 12th, when 2" fell in 1918. The latest measurable amount was 0.5" on the 28th in 1898.
The most snow on a single day in April was 5.5" on April 1, 1924. That also made April 1924 the snowiest April.
Official snowfall records in Washington began in 1888.
Following the near-record dry February-March, showers in the first week of April have kept the month to date above average for the Washington, DC region. Including 0.77" falling in 24 hours on the 2nd-3rd, Washington National now has a total of 1.1" for the month. In the longer run, however, the region remains in Moderate Drought conditions. The state of Virginia has improved from 27% Moderate to 17% in the current week, but Maryland has worsened from 52% to 79%.
The dry conditions extend westward into West Virginia, where Martinsburg is 5.12" low for the year to date.
"It Hasn't Warmed Since 1998"
Although it's been shown to be unsupported by the data, the claim that global temperatures have declined since 1998 continues to be high on the climate skeptics' hit parade. This canard reared its disreputable head again last week in George Will's latest bag of climate lies.
Even if this discredited claim were true, it still wouldn't mean anything by itself, since it's a classic case of cherry-picking. Andrew Revkin's April 3 post at the NYT's DotEarth blog picks up on that theme with a discussion of a paper to be published in the American Geophysical Union's peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters. Despite the clear evidence that out-of-context short-term trends are meaningless at best in the presence of random natural variations, the comments to the post contain many of the typical knee-jerk reactions from the Usual Suspects.
John Mashey, however, suggests a little experiment with the Swiss Army Knife of Data Analysis, Microsoft Excel. The graph at the top of this post shows an example result using Mashey's recipe. The blue line shows a series of 30 points with an overall upward trend (black line). The red line, however, shows the trend of the first 10 points alone. Notice that this trend is downward, and in fact, the value of point 10 is actually less than the value of point 1. For an animated display of a series of such randomly fluctuating trends, click here. In the example, the short-term trend may be much above, much below, or nearly equal to the longer trend, but the overall trend is always upward.

Q: parse credentials powershell & validate login We support 100+ customers for AWS and AZURE.
Because there is no regular need for logging into every customer environment without an issue, our credentials expire periodically.
We are looking to automate the AZURE login with PowerShell.
We will store our credentials in a password protected excel file.
The Excel file will have subscription, jump host, domain name, username & password
in each column.
As we run the script, each subscription and AD credentials should be validated one after other
It will be bad on my part to ask for a script directly. If anyone would be so kind to help me with pointers on how I can achieve this it would be appreciated.

A: Storing usernames and passwords in cleartext, is a very bad security practice.I would recommend you to use Azure key vault or any other alternative approach to store the credential.
Please note that storing any kind of credential is not recommend. But still you have to implement it then you can do something like below:
1) Create azure key vault and store all your information ,user id and password in key vault only.
2) Use Azure MSI or service principal authentication in powershell to authenticate your script with key vault.
3) Access user id and password from the key vault and then finally perform your login .
you can refer below doc for understanding the flow of Azure key vault access.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/quick-create-powershell
Hope it helps.


It's actually been 9 days. I can't believe time is still moving. It shouldn't be.
I wanted to thank everyone for, well, everything, really. The outpouring of love and caring has really surprised me, pleasantly. Thank you is too little a phrase to show the appreciation for what all of you have been doing. The amounts of email, invitations, food, wine, taking care of the boys, coming to the service and the afters, mentions in the meeja, all of it. I knew how amazing B was, I just didn't know that everyone else saw it too!
So from our family to all of you, thank you. You've all shown that you're really part of our family as well.
The last few nights I've been able to sleep at home, and just go back into the hospital to do the blood samples to look at my hemoglobin and platelets counts, get antibiotics, then come back. So we've just been calm and quiet at home.

Q: problem with Shift, Ctrl and Alt button with integrated keyboard I have bought a new notebook: HP Pavilion 15 ab062nl, but have a problem with Shift, Alt and Ctrl buttons of the keyboard.
For example, when I press the Shift button to type in upper-case letters, some letters appear upper-case, and then it starts writing lower-case letters, though I'm still pressing the Shift button. It is as if I released the button, but I have not.
I have the same problem with the Alt button (for example, when I use Alt+Tab), and the same problem with the Ctrl buttons.
Sometimes it works as if these buttons are pressed autonomously. For example, sometimes, when I scroll pages on Firefox (or any other browser) using the scroll wheel of mouse, it is as if I am pressing the Alt button though I am not, and Firefox resizes the zoom of the page.
Furthermore, I discovered that if I press the Shift buttons for just a second or two, these problems momentarily disappear; i.e., till the next reboot.
I have noticed this bug with all distributions (ArchLinux, Antergos, Fedora 16, Fedora 23 - GNOME Wayland, Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 14.04, and Debian 8.0.2).
I have tested x86-64 distros, and I have tested with all DEs (even without a DE). I have tried with 32-bit distributions as well but have the same problems.
This is not a hardware problem, because, on Windows, I do not have these problems, and even on a Linux distro on Virtualbox under Windows. And while using an external USB keyboard, I do not face these problems
My hardware:
CPU: AMD A10 8700p
GPU: Radeon R6 + Radeon R7 M360
RAM: 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz

A: There is a known bug for this issue, that appears to be specific to HP, possibly specific to the HP 15.  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1532746 and add any information you have.

Q: Proof of exponential property Given $f(x) = \exp(ax)$, then the derivative, by definition is given by $\frac{df}{dx} = a\exp(ax)$. Also, it is known that $f(0) = 1$
I want to prove that $\exp((a+b)x)$  is equal to $\exp(ax)\cdot\exp(bx)$.
So, to do this, I take the derivative of $\exp((a+b)x)$ which results in $(a+b)\exp((a+b)x)$ by definition of the exponential. Next, I take the derivative of $\exp(ax)\cdot\exp(bx)$ which results in $(a+b)\exp(ax)\cdot\exp(bx)$.
Now, I evaluate $\frac{d}{dx}$$[\exp((a+b)x) - \exp(ax)\cdot\exp(bx)]$ at $x = 0$. This results in zero.
My question now is, have I completed the proof. If yes, can someone explain why?

A: Any function whose derivative is 0 for all $x$ is a constant function.
So what you have shown is that $e^{(a+b)x}-e^{ax}e^{bx}$ is a constant function. Any input, $x$, will yield the same output. So for example $e^{5(a+b)}-e^{5a}e^{5b}=e^{89(a+b)}-e^{89a}e^{88b}= e^{-2(a+b)}-e^{-2a}e^{-2b}$. It doesn't matter what input we choose, it will give us the same thing.
So how do we find the function value? How do we use this information to show the result?
