COLUMBUS - When Shore Regional standout Drew Maher cruised into the final 200 of Saturday's 1600-meter NJSIAA Meet of Champions race, leading the pack into the home stretch, the unexpected surge caught most onlookers off guard…including the event's eventual champion Elliot Gindi.
"I don't think anyone out here today was expecting that, nobody was, but I knew what to do" Gindi said. "You always have to have plans. When he made a move I went with him, and I gave him some distance."
The gap of separation heading into the final 100 was minimal and short-lived for Maher, as Gindi sprinted to the finish for a winning time of (4:09) – including an impressive 59.21 in the final 400 meters – to capture the first MOC track title in his decorated career.
"With 100 meters to go it was throttle, throttle, throttle…No turning back," Gindi said. "And when I say no turning back, I did take a look over my shoulder with 10 meters to go. I had enough celebration. And a good celebration was definitely necessary."
A celebration was certainly in order for Gindi, as the senior was in position to challenge for an MOC crown a season ago, but was forced to settle for second place in favor of CBA's Drake Anzano.
"It feels great to come back and win this after last year," said Ginidi, who captured the Cross Country MOC title this past fall. "I was definitely a little nervous coming into this one going up against guys like (Chris) Romero and (Mulual) Mu, but I stayed calm, cleared my mind and really didn't think about them once we got started. I just ran my race."
A multi-time sectional and group champion in the 1600 and 3200 events, the question of one's lasting legacy swirled about Gindi in his post-race conference with the media, and rather point to those awards and accolades, the senior instead spoke of the work that went such achievements.
"It's not really about this. It's not about the races. It's about the training," Gindi said. "The training is really what shows on race day. And that's what I'm hoping to leave behind. It's about the work that went in."
Though a touted 3200 runner, Ginidi opted out of Saturday's MOC race, choosing to end his scholastic career on top.
"I was going to surprise everybody with the 3200, but it's hot, everyone is dying out here in the heat. So ending with a Meet of Champs victory is the perfect way to end my time in an Ocean Township jersey."
Maher placed second in the event with a 4:09.92, while Noah Yuro of CBA clocked in at 4:14.51 for a fifth place showing.
Devin Hart wins MOC 3200
Point Boro sophomore Devin Hart had a decision to make Saturday after a monstrous 1600/3200 double at Group II, in which he ran personal-bests of 4:09.49 and 9:07.40, respectively.
Instead of taking on Gindi at the shorter distance, Hart and his coaches opted for arguably a tougher assignment, 2016 MOC winner and Princeton recruit Matt Grossman in the 3200. If it wasn't already clear after his Group II effort, it is now. New Jersey's next distance star has arrived.
Hart finished an unbeaten season at 3200 meters, hammering to the finish line Saturday without a threat in sight, Grossman or otherwise, in a personal-best 9:05.49. Hart is just the second Ocean County boy (Peter Hess, Toms River North, 2003) to win the MOC 3200 outdoors since it was added to the state program in 1982.
"I figured maybe everyone was saving it for the last lap, but they didn't," Hart said, expressing surprise at no one willing to challenge him over the final 800 meters. "To do this is as a sophomore is crazy, I never thought I could do this. This is very emotional."
The tactical nature early in the race suited Hart, who aimed and succeeded in going out in around 4:30. Hart came back 2:12.41 for the final 800 meters, doing so alone, which is not generally conducive for a fast time.
With his performances at Group II and the MOC on his resume alone, Hart will have buzz going into his junior cross country season. As a sophomore in 2016, Hart was the runner up at Group II, covering the vaunted 3.1-mile championship course at Holmdel Park in 15:58. He followed that a week later by running 16:09 for eighth at the MOC.

Just over halfway through Fireball Kid's "Be Friends" (with Magi Merlin, Ura Star, and Big Friends) a distorted guitar solo rips through the production. Sparkly pop textures, autotuned falsetto verses, and Magi Merlin's lush, commanding hook suddenly fall off, and, for a second, it sounds like someone tripped over a cord. Out of nowhere, this shimmering, SoundCloud object becomes oddly physical. Just as quickly as this uncanny revelation hits, though, Fireball Kid reassembles his toolkit, and the guitar riff is cleaned up, looped, and inserted neatly back into the beat.
"Be Friends" is the second track from Fireball Kid's previous EP, Speedrun, released at the end of last August. On Jan. 20, alongside his best friends and close collaborators Ura Star and DvD, Fireball Kid celebrated the release of Starfire. Though the project bears only Ura Star's and Fireball Kid's names, Ratchford insists that all three friends contributed equally. Stepping onstage after a slew of openers from all corners of Montreal's pop scene, including Margo and Magi Merlin, as well as Rare DM, a touring artist from New York City, the trio opened with "Be Friends," an ode to the awe inspiring power of friendship, guitars, and beat pads.
If the gnarly solo tearing "Be Friends" in half indicated a shift in Fireball Kid's approach to music production, Starfire finds him and Ura Star straddling these superficial boundaries in bold, cowboy-like fashion ("I'm a heartsick cowboy," he croons on "Whole Body Mood"). They followed "Be Friends" with "Starcross," Starfire's opening track, which features real drums, bass, guitar, and an unmistakably pop-punk lyrical flare. But, in Fireball Kid's energized landscape, these archetypes are teeming with new possibilities by virtue of their unification. He and Ura Star pepper their lyrics with images of cowboys alongside dancers alongside wrestlers.
As tempting as it is to term Ratchford's music "Boybandcamp" (or "ROCKHampton" as he called it in our interview), Fireball Kid and Ura Star aren't trying to build a metaphorical bridge between Bandcamp and SoundCloud. For Ratchford, honesty, earnestness, friendship, collaboration, and good, fun pop music can overcome any boundaries.
Starfire is available on Apple Music, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

If you want to build a strong back and upper body, pull-ups and chin-ups are typically the best bodyweight exercises you can do.
But if you're not yet strong enough to do a complete pull-up or chin-up, lat pulldowns can help.
This exercise is done with a lat pulldown machine but as you can see in this video, I simply use a pulley system with Kettle-bell which is perfect for the home gym set up.
NOTE: The setup is almost identical to the Pull-Up.
1. Sit down on a pull-down machine with a wide bar attached to the top pulley. Make sure that you adjust the knee pad of the machine to fit your height. These pads will prevent your body from being raised by the resistance attached to the bar.
2. Grab the bar with the palms facing forward using a slightly wider (1-2 inches) than shoulder width grip. NOTE: Using an excessive wide grip adds no additional benefit to this exercise.
3. With a firm grip, act as if your bending the bar in half, trying to point your elbows towards each other. This will "lock in" the lats and engage the serratus anterior muscles much more effectively. Try and maintain this tightness throughout the movement of the exercise.
3. Bring your torso back around 30 degrees or so while creating a curvature on your lower back and sticking your chest out. This is your starting position.
4. Bring the bar down until towards your upper chest by drawing the shoulders and the upper arms down and back. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the full contracted position. The upper torso should remain stationary and only the arms should move. The forearms should do no other work except for holding the bar; therefore do not try to pull down the bar using the forearms.
5. After a second at the contracted position squeezing your shoulder blades together, slowly raise the bar back to the starting position when your arms are fully extended and the lats are fully stretched. DO NOT allow the shoulders to pull forward at the top of the movement. Keep your lats and serratus anterior engaged as in step 3.
6. Repeat this motion for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
Variations: The behind the neck variation is not recommended as it can be hard on the rotator cuff due to the hyperextension created by bringing the bar behind the neck.

If you own a business or are in charge of human resources, you understand the importance of your staff. They take on many responsibilities. You trust them with the products you are offering as well as the clients they are interacting with. Most employers also understand the expense of workers' compensation claims and the burden they pose.
In the employee's eyes, they are working for your hard earned business. Many employees want to come to work in a welcoming and safe environment. They expect that their employer will prevent any risks that could potentially lead to a workers compensation claim.
We want to address some of the ways that employers can reduce the risks of their employees filing a workers compensation claim.
One of the easiest ways to identify the job functions and responsibilities required of your employees is to give them a job description. This will ensure that employees will understand what is required of them. Job descriptions also set out expectations regarding performance which allow employees to work within those limits.
Before committing on hiring an individual to represent your business, you may want to evaluate your applicant. Participating in personality tests or honesty tests can gauge if the person will be fit for the position, honest, and dependable. Performing physical capability tests will also help to evaluate the applicant's ability to perform the functions of the job.
Having an established training program for every position within your business is essential in retaining valuable employees. Training also gives employees the feeling of reassurance and allows them to work more diligently as they know how to perform the job. Workers compensation claims will decrease with a valuable training program.
It is important to establish a healthy work environment for all employees. The increase in technology has definitely made a lot of work places easier. However, typing at a computer can lead to discomfort and employees sometimes have difficult separating work from their home life. Trying to establish daily breaks for stretching and flexible work hours can allow your employees more freedom. Making sure that your employee's physical and emotional health is crucial to decrease workers compensation claims.
There are an abundance more ways that you can eliminate the chance of workers compensation claims. At Baron we treat every employee like friends and family. We hope that you can integrate these 4 tips into making your business a healthier environment.
Remember, Baron can help you with any business insurance needs you may have. Come in and get a quote today!

Q: Foreground service continues to run after stopservice() I was reading android docs about foreground service and it says :
To remove the service from the foreground, call stopForeground(). This method takes a boolean, which indicates whether to remove the status bar notification as well. Note that the service continues to run.
If you stop the service while it's running in the foreground, its notification is removed.
In the last paragraph , it says that only notification is removed.
It means that I can not stop the service completely? and the system does this?
or should I do something?
I use this method to stop the service :
stopService(intent);

but service is still running when notification is removed.
Here is the simple Service :
public class MyService extends Service {
    RemoteViews custom;
    NotificationManager notificationmanager;
    Notification notification;
    IBinder mBinder = new MyBinder();

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        notificationmanager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification_Channel(this);
        startForeground(2,Show_notification(this));
    }

    public class MyBinder extends Binder {

        MyService getService() {

            return MyService.this;
        }

    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return mBinder;
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        String  action = intent.getAction();
        if(action!=null) {
                    switch (action) {

                        case "stop":
                            stopService(intent);
                            stopSelf();
                            break;

                    }

                }

        return START_NOT_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();

    }

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.S)
    public void Notification_Channel (Context context) {
        //creating channel
        String offerchannelname = "...";
        String offerchanneldescription = "...";
        int offerchannel_importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
        NotificationChannel notifchannel = new NotificationChannel( offerchannelid, offerchannelname,offerchannel_importance);
        notifchannel.setDescription(offerchanneldescription);
        // disable sound
        notifchannel.setSound(null,null);
        notificationmanager.createNotificationChannel(notifchannel);

        // using custom Layout
        custom = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.audio_player_notification);

        Show_notification(context);

    }

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.S)
    public Notification Show_notification(Context context) {

        PendingIntent pendingIntent;

        Intent clickIntent = new Intent("action1");
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
                3, clickIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE| PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        custom.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.MyId,pendingIntent);

        Intent clickIntent2 = new Intent("action2");
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
                4, clickIntent2,PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE | PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        custom.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.myId_player,pendingIntent);

        Intent clickIntent3 = new Intent("action3");
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,
                5, clickIntent3,PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE | PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        custom.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.myid,pendingIntent);

        Intent open_intent = new Intent(context,Main_Page.class);
        open_intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
        pendingIntent= PendingIntent.getActivity(context.getApplicationContext(),0,open_intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE | PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

      return  notification=new NotificationCompat.Builder(context,channel_id)

                .setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
                .setOngoing(true)
                  .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.DecoratedCustomViewStyle())
                .setCustomContentView(custom)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)
                .build();
    }

I use these methods to start my service :
Intent service_intent = new Intent(context,MyService.class);

ContextCompat.startForegroundService(context,service_intent);

                context.bindService(service_intent, this,Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

I use these methods to stop my service :

Intent service_intent = new Intent(context,MyService.class);

 service_intent.setAction("stop");
                ContextCompat.startForegroundService(context,service_intent);

              context.unbindService(service_intent,this);

In my Logcat ,this line appears
W/System: A resource failed to call close.
It does not give me much information to find the cause.

A: As I can see you have started a foreground service for notification but it never get stopped. in order to stop the Foreground service first you need to close the Foreground service using stopForeground(true) inside onStartCommand "stop" action, then you must use stopSelf(startId) to stop the your service.
For more reference please check the below android developer document on stopping service.

Twitter is testing a new home page, aimed at showing more of the information that "flows through Twitter."
"This builds on a series of changes starting last year when we redesigned the homepage to make search and trending topics more visible and easily accessible to everyone," says Twitter Designer Doug Bowman. "With that version, we brought the power of search.twitter.com to the homepage and let people explore the value of Twitter without an account."
"All of our recent changes embrace the notion that Twitter is not just for status updates anymore," says Bowman. "It's a network where information is exchanged and consumed at a rapid clip every second of the day. With so much being shared, we know that there's something of value for everyone. People who internalize the value of Twitter understand the power of this simple medium. But it hasn't been easy to make that value transparent or obvious for curious folks coming to Twitter for the first time."
That has indeed been an issue Twitter has faced in the entire time of its existence. People are embracing it more than ever, but this could help the newcomers get more out of the service.

Yes, it's more little waldorf acorn dolls. Will I ever get tired of making these guys? I don't think so. Not so far anyway. Thank goodness for Etsy or they'd be taking over the house. In fact, Josh joked about being Gulliver for Halloween, tying some ropes around his body and attaching little acorn-capped Lilliputians all over clothes. Ha!! He probably does feel a little like Gulliver some days.
The acorn girls above are based on my sister and me and all the fun we used to have during those long snowy winters in northern Michigan. A childhood memory in felt and wool. And since I had another wooden sled I decided to make a pair of boys, too. These sets are for sale at Etsy, but I think I'll make one more for our winter nature table. We've had snow twice already, so I guess it's time to get the pumpkins out of there and put in some winter things already. The days just keep clicking along, it seems like I just put out the autumn things and here it's time to change it again. That nature table sure can keep a mama busy.

If you missed the series, you may like to view it here before proceeding (or this post may not make sense). Now it's time to look at two-colour brioche knit flat / back-and-forth. The big difference is that you need to work each side twice before turning the work - once with the dark yarn (DC) and once with the light yarn (LC). For this reason, when knit 'flat', two-colour brioche must be worked on double pointed or circular needles. The result is a fully reversible fabric with a dark side and a light side.
On the dark side of the work you will brioche knit (brk) the dark stitches and brioche purl (brp) the light stitches, and on the light side, the opposite is the case. And as one colour (in this example the DC), is used for the edge stitches, it's necessary to prevent the other (LC) yarn getting tangled along the edge by moving it to the front or back of the first and last stitches as you work, so that the LC is always left on the light side of the work. It might sound a bit complicated, but once you get into the swing of things, it all makes perfect sense. Of course the best way to understand it is to give it a try, so grab your yarn and needles and let's get to it!
Sl1yo - Brioche yarn over: put the working yarn to the front of the work, slip the stitch from the left to the right needle and put the working yarn over the top of the slipped stitch (photos and video here).
Brk - Brioche knit: knit the slipped stitch and it's paired yarn over (from the previous row) together.
Brp - Brioche purl: yarn to the front, purl the slipped stitch and it's paired yarn over (from the previous row) together.
Do not turn - at the end of the row, do not turn the work. Instead, slide the stitches back to the other end of the needle to work them again.
Turn - at the end of the row, turn the work.
Yarn forward/back - this instruction relates to the working yarn placement so that it is always in the correct place to work the following row.
Note that, as the fabric is reversible, I've used 'dark side' and 'light side' in place of 'right' and 'wrong' side. You can identify which you are working on by the columns of prominent knit stitches which are visible on each face of the fabric.
Cast on: Using 4mm needles and DC, cast on 19 sts (or any odd number), then switch to 3.5mm needles to continue.
TIP: If you are a tight knitter and struggle to cast on loosely, you can hold both needles together and use them as one, for a long tail cast on, as pictured. Once you have the required number of stitches, remove one of the needles to continue.
Set-up row DC: *K1, sl1yo; rep from * to last st, k1. Do not turn.
Set-up row LC: Sl1, *brp, sl1yo; rep from * to last st, yarn to the back, sl1. Turn.
The colours have been brightened in this image to make it easier to see the stitches.
Light Side DC: P1, *sl1yo, brp; rep from * to last st, p1. Do not turn.
Light Side LC: Sl1, yarn to back, *brk, sl1yo: rep from * to last st, yarn to front, sl1. Turn.
Dark Side DC: K1, *sl1yo, brk; rep from * to last st, k1. Do not turn.
Dark Side LC: Sl1, yarn to front, *brp, sl1yo; rep from * to last st, yarn to back, sl1. Turn.
When the work measures around 10cm, or when you can read the knitting and understand the process, knit one row (all knit sts) using DC, then turn to bind off loosely using the bigger needles.
Once you are comfortable with this you'll be ready to move onto shaping and all sorts of interesting projects. I'm working on a simple triangular shawl which uses the 'brkyobrk' increase and will be back with that soon. If you can't wait to learn more about this technique, check out Nancy Marchant's essential Brioche book, or one of her Craftsy classes (affiliate links).
My thanks to Scheepjes for supporting this 'Brioche Basics' series - in the UK, Scheepjes yarns are stocked by Deramores and Wool Warehouse, who also ship internationally.
Hi Linda, it's different depending on whether there is an odd or even number of stitches. For this tutorial I used an odd number, but you shoudl find plenty of help from Nancy Marchant - there are tutorials on her website which go into much greater detail, so I'm sure you'll find the information you need there: http://www.briochestitch.com/ Good luck!

Q: WebPack 2.1 Intro tutorial not converting import I'm following the intro tutorial to webpack 2.1 located at https://webpack.js.org/get-started/
It's straight forward and fairly quick but the generated bundle doesn't convert import _ from 'lodash'; to anything -- it's included as written -- so, I get an error in my web browser when I open the index.html page.
I did try to add the following packages:

*

*babel-loader

*babel-core

*babel-preset-es2015

And I tried adding the module noted here: https://webpack.js.org/concepts/#loaders
None of this changes the output. I've tried a few other minor things too but want to stay as narrowed focused as possible.
Main Question: Does this tutorial example work as written?
Secondary Question: If not, how to fix it...

A: Make sure you've installed Webpack 2 which is still in beta.
If you run npm install --save-dev webpack you will as of now get webpack 1 which doesn't support ES6 imports on its own. This is a new feature of Webpack 2.
You can check which webpack version you have installed with: ./node_modules/.bin/webpack -v

A: If you want a tutorial that works and really gets you going with webpack, do this one:
http://webpack.github.io/docs/tutorials/getting-started/
I would be suspicious of a tutorial that contained lodash, since that's taking you out of the realm of "getting started" pretty fast (I have nothing against lodash, but what does it have to do with webpack hello world).
Also I think what you're trying to do may involve script_loader. But again, stick with the tutorial link I posted above. When you finish that I think you'll see how to include external scripts and such.

A: In the webpack.config.js file, adding the following worked:
module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query: {
          presets: ['es2015']
        }
      }
    ]
  }

If you are following the tutorial, you'll also need add the following packages (apparently) as described by https://github.com/babel/babel-loader (This topic is touched on here https://webpack.js.org/concepts/#loaders but I can't figure out if it's out of date given the latest version or if it was not working for some other reason)
npm install babel-loader babel-core babel-preset-es2015 --save-dev
The whole completed webpack.config.js file looks like:
module.exports = {
  entry: './app/index.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: './dist'
  },
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query: {
          presets: ['es2015']
        }
      }
    ]
  }
};

What exactly is DevOps and what could it bring to your business?
The term "DevOps" is used a lot in IT circles, but what exactly does it mean?
DevOps, a contraction of "developer" and "operations" looks to bring two different aspects of digital businesses together. Namely, the innovative, disruptive developer side and the user-focused operations side.
Traditional ways of working have led to different teams becoming silos, cut off from one another despite having the same overarching aim. With DevOps, because two supposedly contrasting teams are working together to develop software, a lot of potential issue are avoided.
One of the main DevOps benefits is continuous software deployment, because when operations and development are joined it is much easier to go from the "idea" stage to having working software. With continuous deployment it's also easier to make slight adjustments as and when you need to through updates and iterations, rather than waiting days and weeks as you would with traditional software development cycles.
DevOps also helps to bring together innovation and stability, two concepts that are normally thought of as being in opposition. With continuous deployment and testing, software issues are identified at an earlier stage, instead of when the coding is finished and the operations team get their hands on it. With problems being resolved quickly, an environment where innovation is encouraged soon develops, bringing your business untold advantages.
However, perhaps the most significant benefit of DevOps is the amount of time, and therefore money, it saves your business.
Through better collaboration and increased automation, DevOps leads to more efficient software deployment and noticeable improvements for both your employees and your customers.

Q: Is there no flowchart or data flow diagram for Windows Installer actions and how they relate to each other? While working on Windows installer packages using WiX, I find it extremely cumbersome to have to keep searching for access points with my C# custom actions. For example, say I have an action that I want to take place before files are installed, after the installation happens, before the installation, before the installation but before any other actions, before any progress bar is visible, etc.
Isn't there some sort of flow-chart of better representation of data flow or action flow between actions that occur during Windows installer's MSI installations and how they relate to one another? I know this would be a huge help for me and other installation package developers, because I haven't been able to find anything like this while searching online.
Edit: This has been the best resource I have been able to find so far.

A: This is my goto article for the last 13 years:
Installation Phases and In-Script Execution Options for Custom Actions in Windows Installer
Being on a team of Windows Installer experts provides a great mentoring opportunity to pick up all this trivia and put it into the proper context.

A: I found this a while back it helped to understand the sequences of the MSIExec action sequence

Video Premiere: THE NATIVE CATS – 'RUN WITH THE ROSES'
February 13, 2020 weirdowasteland
Band image: Lou Conboy
To celebrate the release of their new 7″ and tour, Tasmanian two-piece The Native Cats give their scintillating track 'Run With The Roses' the visual treatment. The clip matches the song's visceral urgency, managing to match the sonic energy with imagery that is equally as entrancing.
Much has already been said about The Native Cats' newest release Two Creation Myths. Although is could espouse the virtues of these tracks ad nauseam, it's probably quickest if you just do your own reading. The Hobart-based post-punk duo are striking while the iron is hot, following up the official launch of the record with a clip for 'Run With The Roses', directed by Julia Suddenly and edited by Lyndon Blue – a creative tandem that has crafted music videos for Elizabeth and Dick Diver .
The clip matches 'Run With The Roses' prowling undercurrent – vocalist Chloe Escott cuts shapes in the night, dressed in a gown and confronting the camera – retelling the tale of her evolution. At points she moves about the inside of a car, at other moment's she's out in the open – spinning and cavorting with nothing but sky and stars above her. As usual, I can't help but imprint my own interpretation in times like these – part of me believes the car symbolises the confines of Chloe's past self, and the wide outdoor space as Chloe's newfound freedom. In reality, I think the conceptual drive is much more simple. Chloe graciously shed some light on the process, which involved giving over control of the shoot to Julia ("unquestioning submission"), committing to the movement, the performance and (most crucially) the notion that she was enough to carry the clip on her own. Julia was right: Chloe's magnetism is a driving element, it elevates the clip. At the end of the day, one can impose meaning where it fits neatly for their own interpretation, but I'd say that if there is anything one should take away from this clip, it's that there's nothing more potent than one's belief in their own self.
Watch the clip below:
The Native Cats will be performing a series of shows to launch Two Creation Myths. The dates are as follows:
– Friday March 13 at The Golden Wattle, Adelaide (Supports TBC)
– Saturday March 14 at the Toff In The Town, Melbourne with Ausmuteants & Thibault
– Sunday March 22 at the Brisbane Hotel, Hobart with Scraps (arvo show)

AI-Powered APEX Anti-Malware Engine Comes Out of Beta
SecureAge announces AI roll out amid UI overhauls and new tiered version structure for SecureAPlus antivirus.
NEW YORK, NY (September 25, 2019) - SecureAge Technology, a provider of encryption security and antivirus technology, today announced the out-of-beta launch of its AI-powered anti-malware scanning engine, APEX, for SecureAPlus on Windows and Android OS. Alongside APEX's official rollout, SecureAge also unveiled a series of user interface overhauls to the SecureAPlus solution, as well as new tiered pricing and versions tailored for multiple use cases.
APEX is an anti-malware scanning engine powered by artificial intelligence, designed to extend the detection capabilities of SecureAge's SecureAPlus endpoint protection platform (EPP) online and offline. The APEX engine provides next-generation detection capabilities for end users to deal with advanced threats like zero-day malware, going beyond traditional scanners by using machine learning to identify unseen and mutated malware variants from day one of their release.
"The problem with traditional antivirus solutions is that they rely on a prearranged blacklist of currently known malware types to protect users, and therefore fail in catching new viruses until a user's system has already been compromised," said Dr. Teow-Hin Ngair, Founder and CEO, SecureAge. "APEX was designed to perform one step ahead, using machine learning to detect malware and ransomware before they infect a user's system, acting as a proactive deterrent rather than a reactive countermeasure."
Aside from touting an out-of-beta version of APEX, SecureAPlus is also rolling out multi-device management capabilities and an overall new aesthetic to provide users with a more unified experience. A new tiered version model also gives users the option to choose from variants of the service based on their desired use case, including an entry level version complete with all key features for free for life. The versions are:
SecureAPlus Lite--free and caters to those who want a default level of security, complete with the core features that define the product: AI-powered anti-virus (APEX), application control and whitelisting, and universal AV
SecureAPlus Essentials -- for home users with multiple devices and small businesses seeking an extra level of control above Lite
SecureAPlus Pro -- contains all-encompassing features developed for SecureAPlus and empowers users with an elite level of advanced security features and in-depth customization
"We hope that APEX changes the way people think about securing their data and artificial intelligence. AI is here to help people and make their lives easier. With the use of deep learning technology and big data, APEX will be able to recognize malicious patterns without relying on traditional definition updates -- making it faster, lighter, and more reliable than anything else on the market," added Dr. Ngair.

Small-business people who want to license or sell their inventions have traditionally received the slammed-door treatment from big companies.
But a tale of two garbage men (or, if you prefer, innovators in the waste-management space) illustrates how that?s changing, thanks to a concept called Open Innovation.
Fred Sulpizio, a retired Philadelphia adman, invented a trash bag with a built-in device that keeps it from collapsing as you fill it. Sulpizio spent $22,000 on the ?Open and Go? bag and six years knocking on corporate doors. For his pains he received a stack of rejection letters. His prototypes were sent back unopened, and he never even knew whether his letters reached the right person. ?Companies didn?t give me the time of day,? sighs Sulpizio.
Sulpizio?s treatment is typical of the traditional corporate model, where all research and development is done in-house and the tacit motto is ?If it wasn?t invented here, we don?t want it.? Even seemingly enlightened companies operate this way. Call or write Starbucks, for example, to propose they use your patented robot barista, and you will be discouraged from submitting your proposal. If you insist on submitting anyway, you must sign an agreement that the idea belongs to them ? with no compensation for you. Starbucks, like other companies with such policies, says it isn?t simply being standoffish. These firms are trying to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits, and they don?t want to hire staff to sort through proposals.
But Greg Swartz, 45, of Anthem, Ariz., has had a nontraditional experience. He invented a battery-operated odor-eliminating device called the ?Hang 'n? Fresh? that hooks inside garbage cans. Swartz sent an e-mail describing the product to Procter & Gamble. He received a response in 24 hours, along with relevant feedback, and one of the company?s departments is now considering it. If the product gets the green light, someone in Swartz?s position could negotiate a royalty-paying license agreement, start a development project with the company or even sell the idea outright.
What?s changed? In a world of widely distributed knowledge and R&D cutbacks, more companies realize they can?t rely solely on their own research and should buy or license intellectual property from others. This Open Innovation approach came first to tech companies; now pharmaceutical and consumer-product companies are on board, says Robert Wolcott, a professor at Northwestern University?s Kellogg School of Business.
Once cloaked in secrecy and suspicious of outsiders, P&G was formerly dubbed the Kremlin on the Ohio by its employees, but now ?we want to be on your speed dial,? says Jeff LeRoy, external relations manager. It set up an external-ideas program in 2001: Last year P&G received 3,740 submissions, and it currently has 1,000 contracts under the program, some involving millions of dollars.
Of course, not every half-baked idea gets a hearing. One submission that didn?t cut it at P&G: a shoe that looks like a foot. Note to inventors: Only send patented products or services, with a business plan that shows your market research and your understanding of the company?s product lines. But beware the passive-aggressive corporation.
Sure, more companies say they are open to outside ideas, says Vandy Van Wagener of Evergreen Innovation Partners, a Colorado consultancy that?s helping Sulpizio and others bring their products to market.
But, he cautions, ?good products can still fall through the cracks.?

Le cascate di Lequarci si trovano presso la località di Santa Barbara, nel comune di Ulassai, nella sub regione barbaricina dell'Ogliastra, in (provincia di Nuoro) in Sardegna. Sono considerate le cascate più imponenti dell'isola.

Descrizione
Le acque del rio Lequarci, provenienti dall'altopiano di Baulassa e di Martalaussai, scendono con diversi rivoli da una falesia calcarea ad anfiteatro compiendo un salto di circa 50 metri  per una larghezza di circa 70 metri, dopodiché scorrono impetuosamente per un ulteriore dislivello di 75 metri prima di riversarsi in piccoli laghi. La portata d'acqua varia a seconda delle piogge a monte, che determinano anche l'estensione del fronte della cascata, che si riduce sensibilmente nel periodo primaverile ed estivo.

What denomination is Solid Rock?
Today, Solid Rock is an exciting blend of denominational and demographic backgrounds. While we appreciate our rich Baptist heritage and we have no ill feelings towards the idea of denomination, you will find that there are no loyalties at Solid Rock that supersede our loyalty to Christ and the Truth of scripture. We operate from the conviction that we have been called to find our identity in Christ and Him alone. For this reason, we don't spend our time or energy promoting denominational affiliations. It is our deepest passion and greatest joy to see Christ exalted among the nations.
We are one church with multiple services. We have three Sunday services- 8:15am, 10:00am and 11:45am. All of these services are identical and offer the same worship and teaching experience. In lieu of Sunday night services, we meet as Community Groups to grow together as a Biblical community in an intimate home setting.
We are located in West Fort Worth near 820 and I-30 in Westpoint at 121 Verna Trail N Fort Worth, TX 76108. Our campus is at the corner of White Settlement Rd and Verna Trail North.
After visiting one of our services you can drop the Next Steps Card, found in the seat-back card holders, into a brown drop box at the back of the Worship Center. You can also email anyone on our staff or click here.

According to results presented at the second annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, prolonged use of aspirin significantly increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in women.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2002.
Pancreatic cancer has one of the highest mortality rates of all cancers and accounts for approximately 2% of all newly diagnosed cancers in the United States each year, but is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. Pancreatic cancer is often called a silent killer because it usually does not cause any recognizable symptoms until it is advanced and has spread outside the pancreas. As a result, the majority of pancreatic cancers are not diagnosed until they have reached advanced stages and are considered incurable.
The use of NSAIDs has been associated with a lower incidence of colorectal cancer and is being investigated in associations with incidences of other cancer as well. Recently, researchers from the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard University Medical School evaluated long-term data among over 88,000 women involved in the Nurses' Health Study. The study began in 1976, during which time all participants were cancer free. At 18 years of follow-up, pancreatic cancer occurred in 161 women. Aspirin use was evaluated every 6 months, beginning in 1980. Overall, long-term (20 years or more) aspirin use of 2 or more tablets per week was associated with a 58% increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Compared to women who were not consistent aspirin users, those who took more than 14 per week on 2 of 3 consecutive biennial (every 2 years) questionnaires had an 86% increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. This risk was reduced with lower aspirin consumption when compared to women who did not consume aspirin: 41% increase of pancreatic cancer in women who took 6 – 13 aspirin per week; 29% for those who took 4-6 per week; and 11% for those who took 1-3 per week.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute, indicating that aspirin use may actually reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is important that women speak with their physician about their individual risks and benefits of taking aspirin.

Because Loe recently blogged about it I'll dedicate this blog post to my Nintendo Wii. It was pretty difficult to acquire one. I didn't order one in advance so I had to scavenge Limburg looking for one at the 8th of december. Naturally I didn't find one as supply was low and demand was high.
A few days later, I decided to check out the launch at the local Makro (which is a Dutch wholesale business). I arrived about half an hour before the doors opened and was probably 20th in line or so. Fifteen minutes later even more people showed up and when the doors opened approximately 60 lunatics were present. At this point I already lost hope of getting a Wii that day but decided to check it out anyway.
As the doors opened, everybody went crazy. I mean EVERYBODY! Older people pushing aside kids, kids pushing aside older people. It was mayhem! After struggling to the entrance of the storehouse almost everybody was disappointed because they didn't have a lot of units present. Old folks were screaming some random sentences about "respect" and "normen en waarden".
At the Makro I also met an old classmate who told me he reserved a Wii at the local van Leest. He said they had a really short list of people who reserved it so I decided to reserve one there as well. After waiting for a week and a half I received my preciousss... and I have been in gaming heaven ever since ;). I'll post some short review/impression blog posts in the following weeks (if I feel like it ;)).


Three words used to describe the grand finale of this year's COW Week [Changing Our World] at Grove High School.
By the time the confetti was being swept up, it was revealed the effort - which unites school and community efforts behind a local non-profit - raised $32,150.17 for the Delaware County Children's Advocacy Network [DCCSAN].
Initially students thought the total stood at $31,925. Then a final donation raised through a coin drive at Grove's Early Childhood Center pushed the total beyond $32,000.
Since program began in 2017, the effort organized by members of the Grove High School student council, has raised almost $39,000 for three area non-profits.
Braden Wadley, who was one of the students who helped kick off the effort three years ago, said raising funds for DCCSAN and the three projects, provided the "best way to go out" for this year's senior class and those who helped get the program started.
"We exceeded our goal," Wadley said. "It was amazing. It definitely exceeded my expectations."
Wadley, who first began as a member of the team, and then later served as the vice chairman, served as the chairman for this year's event.
He said the effort, which is designed to encourage student and community participation, has taught him a lot about giving, without receiving anything in return.
It has also helped him develop leadership skills, which he hopes to continue to propel him in to the future as a member of the the President's Leadership Council at the University of Oklahoma.
"It's opened my eyes a lot, and it's changed me into a leader," Wadley said.
Wadley said he is proud of this fellow students, as well as the community members, who helped make this year's record total possible.
"COW Week is all done by kids," Wadley said. "We have Mrs. [Donetta] Kerr, but she lets us make all of the decisions. This is our work.
"This effort is more about what you do for others. It's definitely service above self."
As a senior, Wadley hopes next year's COW Week team continues to build upon the foundation of the last three years.
"I hope they keep going with the same heart and drive," Wadley said. "Hopefully we've installed enough in them the last two years to keep having a good heart."
Next year's leaders include Cole Buchholtz, who will serve as the chairman, and Abby Kreutz, serving as the vice chairman. The "little cow," or leader in training, has not been picked. It is traditionally filled by an underclassman.
Wadley said beyond the events, his favorite part of COW Week comes through the relationships built among team members.
"It's brought some excitement back to the high school," Wadley said. "It switches up the norm. It lets kids know they can get involved and help."
Buchholtz echoes Wadley's assessment with the effort.
"It's amazing to be able to do this for an non-profit, to add to their services, to help them keep providing for students who really need it," Buchholtz said.
Like Wadley, working on COW Week has helped Buchholtz learn to talk with others, including community leaders, about joining the effort.
"As an individual, it forced me to communicate with people I normally wouldn't speak with," Buchholtz said. "It forced me to speak in front of the school and create skills that I will use the rest of my life."
As next year's chairman, Buchholtz hopes to continue successful events, like the Donkey Basketball and the Dare Assembly.
He also hopes to try a few things new, in order to get more students and community members involved.
"I would like to push the message out to smaller people in neighborhoods or individuals, including community groups," Buchholtz said. "Especially those who are not involved in Rotary and the business sponsors."
He would like to see others involved in sponsoring events, and hopes to expand events to include other non-profits.
This year the team added a dog show, which not only promoted COW Week, but helped the Second Chance Pet Rescue of Grand Lake.
Buchholtz would also like to "bridge out" to other schools within the region, to help them start their own philanthropy week, because it would give other charities a chance to be apart of similar efforts.
"I want people to know we are still very new," Buchholtz said. "We only have three years under our belts. We strive for opinions and ideas on how we can spread the word to as many people as possible."
Bobby Kreutz, Grove High School assistant principal, said Grove High School has been enhanced because of COW Week.
"The culture at the high school is extremely positive," Kreutz said. "Our student council helps make this all possible.
"All of the students love COW Week. My hope is to have our students continue to see how they can be part of something bigger than themselves and continue to help such worthy causes in our community such as DCCSAN, the Grove Backpack program and Petra's Closet.
"The big question is, who is going to be next."
The funds raised through COW Week are ear-marked for three projects at DCCSAN: at least two years of the Brave packs, obtaining a trained therapy dog, and the development of a camp for child abuse survivors.
Jill McAbee, DCCSAN director, said she was blown away by the students work.
"I had no doubt they would do very well, but I was amazed when those numbers dropped and I saw the total," McAbee said. "These kids never stopped working towards their goal."
McAbee said Charlie, the center's new therapy dog, has started his training at the office.
"I've already seen kids respond to her," McAbee said. "She's helping kids already."
The additional resources, she said, including the Brave packs and the camp, will provide more resources for healing students.
"Without COW Week, these things would just be on a wish list," McAbee said. "Without the Grove Student Council, the three projects would not have happened."
Matt Henderson, co-chairman for the DCCSAN board of directors, said it was incredible to see what the students accomplished during COW Week.
He said the students' excitement, as well as the community's support, has sparked a sense of pure excitement within the organization's board of directors.
"This means a lot to us," Henderson said. "Every dollar raised will go to help children in need. This is a great feeling."
He is grateful the Brave pack program will be expanded to a new level.
"Every child who comes to DCCSAN will get one," Henderson said. "To be able to do more with that, and provide resources is exciting.
"It's truly incredible to think our community and Grove Public School students came together for this, and were able to raise this kind of money."
Josh Bishop, the co-chairman of the board of directors, agreed.
"I'm very appreciative of the students and their hard work," Bishop said. "I am very grateful they chose DCCSAN as the recipient of the proceeds."
Bishop said he's excited to see how the camp grows from an idea, into a project designed to help survivors of abuse.
"This will be a big step in continuing the healing process and expanding the support system for victims," Bishop said. "The proceeds of COW Week are going to allow DCCSAN to impact the lives of many more children in Delaware County."
Jeff Dozier, past chairman and current board member for DCCSAN, said he was "blown away" by the efforts of the COW Week students.
"They worked hard to organize and implement all the different activities," Dozier said. "We are grateful. They should take pride in knowing that many children of Delaware County will benefit from this generous gift."


Step 1: Go to White Orchard Armorer. If you have not already completed his side quest, you must first complete it. Then, buy everything you can from him. The more money he has, the more you will get in return. If he has 100,000+ crowns, you can make millions in a minute.
Step 2: Go to the bee hive further north of the town (by a building near the road).
Step 3: Use Aard on the beehive to push it to the armorer. This works best at night when nobody is on the streets.
Step 4: When the beehive is close enough, it will kill the armorer. Then, meditate for one hour to make the armorer respawn.
Step 5: Each time you meditate, the armorer will respawn and instantly die. This makes him drop his entire inventory with all the crafting components and the money you gave him. The more money you gave him, the quicker this exploit goes.
Step 6: When you have farmed enough, push the beehive away to collect the loot. This will give you tons of money and crafting materials.
Step 7: To avoid being overburdened, go to the inventory and drop saddles, saddle bags, repair kits, lead, and parchment.
Step 8: If you want to farm more, you can put the beehive in place again and meditate to make the armorer respawn. You can also buy more of his stuff to increase his money. He will then drop even more so it goes quicker. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Note: This exploit will eventually get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the new patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.

The Knights' Tourney is part of "The Warble Of A Smitten Knight" side quest. It will be added to your quest journal automatically during "The Beast Of Toussaint" main story mission. You can miss this trophy in several ways. If you lose a competition or make a wrong dialogue choice, you cannot unlock it. The one dialogue choice you have to look out for is after the third competition and after following the bird into the woods. You must choose the "Wanna finish the tourney" dialogue option to continue (otherwise you get kicked out). The official trophy description is also a bit misleading. You do not need a "flawless" or "perfect" victory. Just winning each match is good enough. It does not matter if you win by only a little or if you make mistakes. As long as you win all five competitions, you will get the "A Knight To Remember" trophy. The video below shows only the relevant parts to get this trophy (competitions and missable dialogue choices). The quest takes much longer than that and there is a lot of running around. Just follow the quest markers.
The Witcher's Gone South (Bronze): Travel to the Duchy of Toussaint.
Last Action Hero (Bronze): Be decorated with the Order of Vitis Vinifera.
Kling of the Clink (Bronze): Serve time in Toussaint.

The level of inequality in the city "embarrasses" Bristol, Mayor Marvin Rees has told Labour supporters.
The city mayor made the comments while addressing an event at the Labour Party conference this week, telling the audience how his administration is looking to tackle embedded racial, gender and employment injustice.
Mr Rees said there was "an issue" when his own children were likely to die at a younger age than white children because of the colour of their skin.
He also revealed the "agony" he experiences as leader of the city when "every day we know that the machine pumps out inequality".
Mr Rees said: "Every day that my children, with their brown skin, are more likely to end up in a mental health institution, criminal justice system and die earlier than yours, there is an issue.
"I don't believe we can't be friends but it does mean there is an issue," he told the packed room in Liverpool.
"I grew up in Bristol and you might say I'm the underbelly of Bristol – white mum, 1970s, brown baby and everything like that.
"I live and am a leader in a city that has different worlds. I won't even say it is a tale of two cities because there are many different stories going on but inequality is something that characterises Bristol and actually embarrasses the city.
"We have some of the richest areas in Europe – in Bristol West, you have one of the highest number of people that go on to higher education and in Bristol South you have some of the lowest.
The former journalist made the comments at a Resolution Foundation event on inequality, with Ed Miliband, ex-leader of the Labour Party, Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee and Wigan MP Lisa Nandy also on the panel.
Mr Rees became the first democratically elected mixed-race mayor in Europe when he defeated George Ferguson to take over City Hall in May 2016.
The 46-year-old said his administration had made moves to "tackle" the inequality witnessed in the city, creating schemes designed to improve social mobility.
But he said it remained a "challenge" and that he sometimes felt like he was "running just to stand still".
He spoke about the race and gender pay audit that he carried out within Bristol City Council to determine whether women and employees from ethnic minorities were being paid less for their work.
The scheme Stepping Up has seen 42 black and Asian people, he said, who the council deemed to be "stuck at mid-management level", "released into leadership" in an attempt to change the way City Hall functions.
There are also efforts, explained the mayor, to help every child in the city to access "meaningful" work experience to aid their future career trajectory, while efforts to build at least 2,000 homes a year would help to provide more people with stable accommodation.
Mr Rees said all the major employment sectors in the city, from the universities to the NHS, needed to work together to ensure poverty and inequality was being removed.
"Every day we know that the machine pumps out inequality and that is the agony of being a city leader," he told the fringe event audience on Sunday, 23 September.

Q: Best way to determine if numpy array is a datetime64? Given a numpy array, I would like to test if it is a datetime64 or just a normal numeric array.  I use this in some plotting functions that accept both options, however I can't do a np.isnan or np.isinf on datetime64's and I can't do a np.isnat on numeric arrays, so I need to know which is which.
The problem is that I get different answers based on how the original array was created.
>>> import datetime
>>> import numpy as np

>>> x = np.datetime64('now', 'us')
>>> y = np.array([datetime.datetime.now()], dtype='datetime64[us]')

>>> isinstance(x, np.datetime64)
True
>>> isinstance(y, np.datetime64)
False

The best I've come up with so far is:
>>> str(x.dtype).startswith('datetime64')
True
>>> str(y.dtype).startswith('datetime64')
True

Is this the best option, or is there a better way?

A: try the np.issubdtype function.
In [1]: import datetime

In [2]: import numpy as np

In [3]: x = np.datetime64('now', 'us')

In [4]: y = np.array([datetime.datetime.now()], dtype='datetime64[us]')

In [5]: np.issubdtype(x.dtype, np.datetime64)
Out[5]: True

In [6]: np.issubdtype(y.dtype, np.datetime64)
Out[6]: True


'Laut Aao Trisha' belongs to drama genre (Mystery Category). Laut Aao Trisha was a trending show that was telecasted on 'Life OK' Channel. Initially, Laut Aao Trisha was named as Missing and was supposed to telecast on Star Plus but the show later got aired on Life OK with new name Laut Aao Trisha. The Serial was telecasted at 10:00 P.M time-slot for half-an-hour and the very first episode was telecasted for 1 hour and the rest of the episodes for half-an-hour. The Show was premiered on 21st July 2014 and went off-air on April 24, 2015.
This serial is an Indian Adaptation of the Spanish TV Series known as 'Dónde está Elisa' (Where Are You, Elisa?). Laut Aao Trisha's Story is all about a girl Trisha. Trisha belongs to a Rich Family as she was the daughter of a Well-known Business Man Called Prateek (' Jai Kalra'). In the beginning, there will be a get-to-gather party of Trisha's Family on a beach. Trisha tells her parents that she would reach home by 2:00 P.M but she doesn't return home that day.
