Data Science: Opportunities for Actuaries
Actuartech
Put simply, data science is the application of scientific methods to business data to effect action. Data science includes technological tools and statistical methods to provide information to management to assist them in decision making and risk management. It enables us to extract insight from data that can lead to innovation and competitive advantages. It can also be a useful tool to develop an early warning system that picks up problems before they become too big to handle.

Actuarial Case Studies
Insurance products are built on data. With the rise in technology, more data is being generated and accessed on a daily basis. Data Science not only helps insurers handle all this new data, but it also provides new tools to extract new insights. These insights can provide more information about customer churn, attrition and retention. This can supplement existing models to better price products and know which target markets to focus on. Actuaries can also start incorporating new datasets in risk models that may help them make more accurate predictions.
Increases in computer power are already allowing Data Scientists to automate repetitive manual tasks such as finding and preparing data. This automation will extend to more complex functions which will, in turn, save time and make more efficient use of firms' resources. Software and hardware will continue to become cheaper and more powerful and more and more sources will be connected through Application Programming Interfaces. This will allow for the generation of Big Data sources where countless new insights can be discovered. Companies will compete to curate and ensure only the highest quality of data is allowed in.
More powerful platforms will host, maintain and secure these datasets in the Cloud. The Cloud will also allow more firms access to the latest hardware and software to crunch through this data via the Internet. Data Scientists will be able to orchestrate massive data analysis and see the outputs on their mobile phones. As new technologies emerge, we will see more and more automation but also the ability for more powerful analysis. One of the biggest challenges would be to ensure we continue to apply innovative thinking and generate new ideas of how to analyse this data to solve ever-evolving business problems.
Data Science tools can extract valuable insights to give firms competitive advantages.
Data Science can help create early warning systems and be part of risk management.
Data Science is continually becoming easier, cheaper and more effective to learn, develop, apply and implement.
The expansion and accessibility of Big Data are opening even more opportunities in this space.
Actuaries are perfectly suited to embrace the benefits and challenges of Data Science.

From 9 to 20 March, stood the BNP Paribas Open of Indian Wells, the most popular tournament after the four Grand Slam competitions. For its 41st edition, the Indian Wells Masters welcomed the elite of worldwide tennis, with, among others, Serena Williams, Agnieszka Radwanska, Karolina Pliskova, Simona Halep, winner in 2015 and Petra Kvitova, for the women's draw, Novak Djokovic , defending his title, Stan Wawrinka, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Kei Nishokori, and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the men's draw.
BNP Paribas Open was the opportunity for 45 fans of the We Are Fan Tennis Academy to distinguish, especially during Nadal Muller-match, led by John McEnroe. After Paris, Singapore, London, Brussels, fans were mobilized for the 17th time, for their premiere on American soil.
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, winner of the men's tournament for the third consecutive year, as well as Victoria Azarenka, for its success in the women's draw. Also note the success of the French pair Mahut / Herbert in the men's doubles and of the American duo Mattek-Sands/Vandeweghe in women's doubles.


Verbena was one of the brightest openings of 2013, and now comes word that the Russian Hill vegetable-heavy restaurant will be experiencing some significant changes in 2015.
Chef-partner Sean Baker will be "transitioning out" of Verbena over the next two months, according to a statement from the restaurant. Baker will explore new opportunities, while the restaurant will also seek a replacement. Neither side had further comments on the decision.
For the last five years, Baker and partners Eric Fenster and Ari Derfel have all worked together at Gather in Berkeley, and then at its San Francisco sequel, Verbena. Baker will no longer be involved in either restaurant; Charis Wahl was appointed executive chef at Gather last year.
Expect updates on both Verbena and Baker in the coming weeks/months.


Is Strata 7.5 for mac 64 bit? I see that 64 is recommended for windows. I have 12 gig of ram on my mac. So I'm wondering if it's using more than the standard 32 bit max 3 gig. for the application.
Remember, your only as good as your last image.
no, Strata is still 32 bit.
The Window 64-bit system is recommended because it generally handles memory better than the Windows 32-bit system. Design 3D will still run in the 32-bit environment on a Windows 64-bit system though.

Exclusive ReAction Alien Nostromo Crew Figure Set for NYCC
By Luke Y. Thompson September 18, 2015 Movies, Toys 0 Comment
Alien is still the best ReAction figure license, because it's the only one actually based on old Kenner molds. Furthering the tribute, this special set mimics some of the earliest Star Wars figure multipacks, and gives us a sign that New York Comic Con is really starting to pick up steam in the exclusive toy department. I believe this is the first-ever action figure of Lambert, played by Veronica Cartwright in the movie and made here without likeness rights because it doesn't have to look like her on a sculpt this basic. You may not see another, unless Reaction gets the Witches of Eastwick license and decides that a figure of her vomiting cherries is a must-have.

These gold wedding bands are hand forged and given the aesthetic of rings made centuries ago in the age-old art of goldsmithing. Made with hand-milled stock that is 2.5mm thick (deep), they are solidly built & have a very satisfying weight to them. Our customers who commissioned this set asked for an "anvil finish," so we're sticking with that as a descriptive term. In 18k yellow gold, the rings positively glow — and look as though they were pulled from buried treasure.

Q: Integration on $[0, \infty)$ Let $\nu$ be a measure on $[0, \infty)$ and $c > 0$ be a constant. Why is it true that:
$$
\int\limits_{0}^{\infty} c^2 \left(\frac{1}{c} - \frac{1}{c + s}\right)\nu(ds) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty} s^2 \left(\frac{1}{s} - \frac{1}{c + s}\right)\nu(ds) \quad ?
$$

A: $$c^2\left(\frac{1}{c}-\frac{1}{s+c}\right)=
\frac{c^2 \left(s+c-c\right)}{c(s+c)}=
\frac{cs}{s+c}=
\frac{s^2(c+s-s)}{s(c+s)}=
s^2\left(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{c+s}\right)$$


Mutli-purpose orthotics designed for (full depth) lace shoes and sneakers.
Recommended – a multipurpose orthotic designed to provide semi-rigid control for general activities (lace dress shoes), and semi-flexible control for light to moderate activities (sneakers).
Shell Specifications – utilizes a 4.0 mm polymer shell (posted in a neutral position) that never loses shape or memory. A special dye cutout in the shell permits the orthotic to adjust control level based on activity.
Top Cover – provided with a cellular cushioning system and a felt top surface. The cellular cushioning system has a breathable surface that allows moisture and air to pass through, providing a cool, dry surface. The cushioning material is treated with biocide additive that retards the growth of bacteria and fungus, therefore reducing foot odor. The felt top surface is in-line bonded to the cellular sponge, and cannot delaminate.
Therapeutic Benefits – the special dye cutout orthotic shell provides semi-rigid arch support (fascia support) for general activities, and semi-flexible support during light to moderate sport activities, promoting better foot alignment. This helps keep the feet in a neutral position, preventing and treating over-pronation (flat feet) and related conditions including plantar fasciitis, heel pain, shin splints and knee pain. The cellular cushioning system top cover provides excellent shock absorption, comfort and protection.
Recommended if you are ordering an intrinsically posted orthotic and weigh more than 175 lbs. and or are very active.
Recommended for metatatarsalgia and Morton's neuroma to unload pressure and redistribute weight away from the painful area to a more tolerant area.

Suggestion for the future
Thread starter Atredes
Atredes
I hope this is the right place for suggestions.
I began playing Ultima Online in the beginning and "Ultima" since the 80s. After a break of more than 10 years I returned to find a much better game full of wonderful improvements and additions. After more than a year back, I have a suggestion.
The greatest problem is the lack of players on most servers and too many servers. Combining servers would obviously create a ton of problems and would hurt those players on the servers eliminated and those players are your most loyal of all. The simple answer seems to be not to combine servers, but to allow for more convenient travel between servers. Make all the servers one large UO community.
This would allow the disillusioned players on underpopulated servers to pop over to Atlantic for some random pvp and still keep their castles.
This would allow the disillusioned players to game with friends on other servers and still keep their castles.
As new players enter the game and gravitate to a populated server like Atlantic they would inevitably want their own castle, which would encourage them to take up residence on the underpopulated servers helping them to thrive. More house space is obviously not needed when servers have plenty of empty land waiting for new players to occupy, but they don't want to play totally alone.
I don't know how hard this would be to do, but since visiting servers is possible my idea seems possible. Thanks for a great game and many years of fun and hopefully many more.


One. Take photographs of undercover narks" as it destroys their psychological stability. These pictures may then be either published in the underground press (preferably nationally, as narks in federal service get transferred). Additionally or alternatively, posters could be made up in "Wanted" style. These could be simply satirical: ("Wanted by the Free Community") or made up as federal wanted posters, but if the latter, don't get caught with them, since that is a violation of some federal statutes as well as libel laws.
Two. Anyone holding should make a point of always having some grass on himself, suitably wrapped. When someone you don't know well tries to make a purchase, refer to "grass" and sell him that at regular pot prices. This does not even violate fraud laws, and puts the nark in a bad spot as he must either make up the cost out of his own pocket or explain to his superiors how he came to pay $10.00 for an ounce of crabgrass.
Three. Pit agencies against one another. Create conflict Between county (or city) state and federal authorities. Particularly useful if you have spotted two narks working for different agencies to tip each off that the other is a big dealer. With a little lucky fast talk you can have them all running in circles. In line with this see Four.
Four. Use counter-blackmail. A nark is likely to break a couple of laws in the course of working his way into the underground, laws which cannot be easily explained away as required by his job. If he is a federal nark and the law broken is an the state level so much the better. A fine recent example is of a county nark who slept with an underage girl – a state offense.
Five. Growing pot on your own property is an offense, and the owner is presumed guilty. Therefore get some seeds and plant the stuff in the yards of cops, narks, judges and legislators. Make a particular effort to do this to judges who regularly try narcotics cases and then bring it up at a trial. The judge will, at the least, have to disqualify himself. And having it found in his own lawn might' – just go a ways toward liberalizing the views of some legislators. Since most people see pot just like another weed growing, they won't even know about it until some outraged citizen tips off the newspapers.
Six. Tail known or suspected narks. This can be done in an obvious and obtrusive manner or covertly, depending on circumstances. Those with access to such things, could attach beepers to their cars. Even if not used when the nark finds the beeper on his car it will blow his mind. Those who are in remote locations such as colleges in the countryside could stake out access roads. Caltrops are also effective for breaking up raids. These are little objects resembling a child's jacks but having sharp pointed ends, highly effective in stopping patrol cars, paddy wagons, etc.
Seven. If a phone tap is known or suspected, discuss a big acid buy or big pot buy on the phone, giving the time and place (don't be too obvious, even narks can guess you are suspicious and faking). Then show up with a nice supply of sulfuric acid, Burpee seed, etc. If the police show also you have a nice suit for false arrest (highly profitable and easy way to make money) and can possibly bring criminal charges for an illegal wiretap.

Delou Africa Dance Ensemble
Delou Africa Dance Ensemble is a leading West African folklore company and artist collective of talented drummers, musicians, dancers, and storytellers. Founded by Njeri Plato in 1987, the organization showcases the rich traditions of West Africa through artistic expression, education, and cultural preservation. Delou Africa offers year-round programs, including the annual African Diaspora Dance & Drum Festival of Florida. Through African music and dance education, public performances, and community outreach, the company fulfills its mission to bridge cultural gaps and preserve African culture.
The following is from an interview HistoryMiami Museum conducted with Njeri Plato in 2020.
What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Njeri Plato, the founder and Director of Delou Africa Dance Ensemble (D.A.D.E.) and Executive Director of Delou Africa, Inc. (D.A.I.). I was born in Trinidad, known as the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, "The Twin Island."
Tell me the story about how Delou Africa Dance Ensemble began.
I moved to the USA in 1971. In 1977, my love for expressing myself through dance grew stronger when I discovered West African folklore dance and music in Brooklyn, New York at the Uhru Sasha Shul. In 1981, I moved to Miami and quickly realized that West African art form was very limited in comparison to New York where I had opportunities to dance seven days of the week. In 1985 and 1987, I traveled to Senegal and Gambia to study and further my knowledge in African dance, music, and culture. I was encouraged to start my own company by one of the dance instructors in Senegal named Awa. She suggested I name my company Delou, which is a Wolof word spoken in Senegal that means "back or return to." Shortly after I returned to Miami, Delou Africa Dance Ensemble (D.A.D.E) was born. I was inspired to bridge cultural gaps by providing a platform to showcase and educate communities about the rich traditions of Africa through dance, drum, music, art, culture, and history.
What traditions does the group practice, perform, and teach?
D.A.D.E. is a premier cultural arts, traditional West African folklore company comprised of an artist's collective of talented drummers, musicians, dancers and oral historians or storytellers. Our purpose is to foster awareness by connecting the timeless traditions of West Africa to the vast presence of the African Diaspora. Our performance presentations are motivated by folktales and life transitions that inspire cultural artistic interpretations that leaves our audiences captivated.
In which areas of the world did these traditions originate?
The traditions we perform originate mainly in West Africa.
Where are they practiced today and how did they spread throughout the world?
It is simpler to name the continents verses the many countries that West African folklore dance and music is presently represented: Asia, Europe, North & South America, Australia and of course many regions in West Africa. This art form was promoted throughout the world by national ballets and pioneers like the late Dr. Charles Chuck Davis, Babatunde Olatunji, Katherine Dunham, Pearl Primus, and countless others who paved the way for African movements and rhythms to be accepted and accessible in academic institutions. These icons helped educate society on the rich traditions of West African folklore through arts and culture.
How do you incorporate storytelling in your workshops and performances? Why is storytelling important?
African movements and rhythms are based on cultural interpretations and artistic expressions of life experiences depicted through the art of folklore and African folktale, which are incorporated into the theme of the presentation. Storytelling is an important form of communication that teaches society life lessons and morals of life through culture, belief, and preservation.
What kinds of instruments do you use and how are they made?
The most frequently used instruments are known as the Djembe orchestra that consist of at least two Djembe's (hand drums), a set of three drums called dun-duns (stick drums), and a balafon (wooden xylophone). Additional authentic and traditional instruments can be included to enhance the acoustics of the Djembe orchestra such as the krin, coura, and goungouma. These instruments are played in countries like Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, and other West African countries and globally. The Djembe was created in the 12th century by the Mandinke ethnic group of Mali.
We also use an instrument unique to Senegal. These drums are a set of three drums played with a stick and your hands called the Sabar orchestra. Another instrument we use that is unique to Gambia is the Kouterio orchestra which is also played with a stick and your hand.
The materials that are used in constructing these instruments are made from natural elements like wood from specific trees, metal rings, rope, string, and goat or cow skins. Calabash or gourds are used for the Balafon and Shekere.
What kinds of rhythms do you perform? What is the history of these rhythms?
Rhythms are played for different occasions such as: harvest, courtship, adversity, initiation, strength, royalty, rites of passage and other celebratory and ceremonious events.
What kinds of costumes do you use and where do they come from?
Costumes for dancers, drummers, and musicians are customarily made from African or solid print material adorned with embroidery, beaded belts, cowrie shells, tassels, pom-poms, and many other creative accessories.
What is Delou Africa Inc.'s mission?
Our mission is to bridge the gaps of our diverse community by facilitating artistic education through traditional African dance, drum, music, art, and history. This provides opportunities for expression, growth, and appreciation that enrich the culture of all walks of life in a supportive and nurturing environment.
What do you value most about performing and educating the public on these traditions?
I value the concept of connecting and unifying audiences and participants from all walks of life. I also whole heartedly enjoy the ability to celebrate diversity through Delou's continuous efforts to preserve culture and showcase the vibrancy of West African folklore through the universal language of dance and music and through arts initiatives and cultural engagements that enhance social enrichment and community development.
Is there anything else you would like to share?
D.A.D.E. was created in 1987 and expanded their brand in 2010 to include a more in-depth community outreach opportunity which resulted in the creation of Delou Africa, Inc. Delou Africa, Inc. (D.A.I.) is a community based cultural arts non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has a residency at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, located in Miami, Florida.

It is a document that describes how efficient a home is in terms of energy consumption. It also recommend on how to save money and makes your home more efficient.
It assigns an energy rating to each home on a scale which ranges from "A" (being most efficient) to "G" (being less efficient).
Simply put, yes. Obligatory for all sellers and lessors who are advertising their property for sale or rent. If you do not hold an energy performance certificate you will be fined.
Has the decree regulating the energy certificates been approved?
Yes it has been approved and it came into force 1st of June, 2013.
Who can issue an Energy Certificate?
The energy certificates are issued by qualified professional technicians or architects who are authorized to undertake building projects and thermal installations for buildings.
Yes, they have to in order to take measurements and collect information about the property before drawing up and certifying the report.
Will I be able to sell a home which does not have an EC after 1.06.2013?
No you won´t, you will have to have an EC before selling your home. You will be asked to provide this at the notary.
Who will have to pay for the EC and how much does it cost?
Energy Certificates in Spain cost around €300. The cost depends on the size of your property: an EC assessor is likely to charge around €250 for a 100m2 home, plus €30 to present the certificate at the regional body (prices differ for each body).
How do I know if the property already has an energy certificate? Is there a website to check?
Each regional registry can check if the property has a registered energy certificate by looking up the catastral reference.
How do I receive my EC?
Your assessor will give you the certificate once it has been fully registered and approved. You can also download it from your client log in once it has been approved.
At what point in the marketing process of my property do I need an EC?
You will need an EC before advertising for sale or rent. Fines can be applied if your property does not hold an EC when being advertised.

Q: Filtrar datos de una coleccion por fecha Necesito filtrar las ocurrencias de la última hora de la siguiente consulta de mongodb;
db.OPERATIONS.find({"Description":"Not playable."}).count()

Muchas gracias de antemano.
Un saludo.

A: Mira si entendí bien quieres sacar los docs de Descripción: not playable de la ultima hora
puedes usar los operadores  $and, $eq y $gte.

*

*el $and especificara que ambos campos deben ser validos el

*$eq que debe ser igual el campo descripción a "Not Playable"

*y el $gte que la  fecha sea mayor a la fecha ingresada

$gte es >=  puedes usar tambien $gt que es >
db.operations.find(
  {$and: [
     { "Description": { $eq:"Not playable"  } },
     { fecha: { $gte: "La fecha" } }
  ] }
)

quizá el query no este ordenado exactamente por que no se como manejes la fecha pero esos operadores deberían ayudarte si o si

A: asumiendo que no tienes el campo fecha en la Coleccion , te comento que con el ObjectId puedes tener la fecha que se registro la solicitud puedes verlo de la siguiente forma:
ObjectId.getTimestamp()

Una vez aclarado esto.. lo siguiente es buscar los registro de la ultima hora(una hora de diferencia con respecto la actual) ; debes calcular la ultima hora y compararlo con el timestamp del ObjectId(), la diferencia es que no lo podemos hacer directamente, debemos usar la funcion $where para poder calcular la fecha
Puedes hacer la siguiente consulta:
db.OPERATIONS.find({
    $where:
    function() {
        var ultimaHora = new Date();
        ultimaHora.setHours(ultimaHora.getHours() - 1);
        return this.Description ==  "Not playable" &&   this._id.getTimestamp() >= ultimaHora
        }
    }).count()

You are here: Home / Employee Relations / Abuse of process to file human rights application after executing a full and final release
By Christina Catenacci, BA, LLB, LLM, PhD | 2 Minutes Read October 19, 2012
Abuse of process to file human rights application after executing a full and final release
I recently read a case where a human rights claim was dismissed. After an employee had signed a full and final release with the employer and then filed a human rights application, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found that it amounted to an abuse of process. As the complaint covered the same subject matter as the release, the result was that the human rights claim was dismissed.
The employee, a personal support worker in a long-term care facility, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the ground of colour and creed, and reprisal.
Essentially, the employee felt she was subject to harassment at work, and brought her concerns to the manager. Instead of dealing with her concerns, the employer forced her to resign and sign a Minutes of Settlement. Then, the employee filed a grievance alleging her union did not represent her properly. The employee argued at the human rights hearing had nothing to do with her previous grievance against her union.
The problem was the release she had signed with her employer.
The employer requested that the application be dismissed because the employee had already signed a release covering the same subject matter.
Interestingly, the employee claimed she did not understand what she was signing due to her adjustment disorder and depressive mood disorder.
Notwithstanding that claim, the Tribunal agreed with the employer.
It was clear that the Tribunal had found on a number of occasions that filing a human rights application after executing a full and final release amounted to an abuse of process. Those applications end up being dismissed.
On examining the provision at hand, it was clear that the parties intended the Minutes of Settlement to be a final settlement and the employee was not entitled to pursue any further remedies regarding her employment, or the termination of her employment. This included remedies under the Human Rights Code.
Indeed, there were factors that could help set aside the release, but they did not apply in this case. The factors included:
whether the employee fully understood the significance of the release
whether the employee received sufficient and fair consideration for signing the release
evidence of economic pressure
evidence of psychological or emotional pressure amounting to duress
There was no medical evidence showing that the employee lacked the capacity to understand the Minutes of Settlement – her condition did include cognitive impairment that would prevent her from understanding, and the clinical notes provided from an assessment after the fact stated she had no formal thought disorder or cognitive impairment.
Moreover, the employee did not sign the Minutes of Settlement under duress. Therefore, the application had to be dismissed.
What can employers take from this?
Having a release is important when dealing with a departing employee who receives a settlement.
Also, when asking an employee to sign such a release, it is recommended that the employer:
make it clear for the employee to understand, and allow some time to think it over and seek independent legal counsel
provide sufficient and fair consideration for signing the release
do not pressure the employee in any way

Tom Angotti lecturing about CCPD's Unity Plan (Photo by Tracy Collins, 3c.com)
As Director of the Center for Community Planning & Development (CCPD), Professor Tom Angotti works to promote knowledge, applied research, and innovative practice in community planning and development throughout the New York metropolitan region. CCPD was established as a venue that would support and promote community/university partnerships where community members, students, and academics can learn and benefit from each other's experience and skills.
CCPD recently partnered with Picture the Homeless (PTH), a community-based organization in the Bronx, to organize the first-ever inventory of vacant buildings and lots throughout the five boroughs. Using existing data from various city departments and other volunteer reports as their foundation, CCPD, PTH and several other community groups mobilized volunteers to conduct block-by-block surveys of several targeted areas. Dr. Angotti and his research team hope to further develop this methodology to the point where it can be implemented on a yearly basis, to ensure the data is kept up-to-date. This comprehensive study will eventually be presented to elected officials and other community-based organizations in order to launch discussions about affordable housing issues.
Past CCPD projects have included an analysis of local business impacts in Flushing, a special zoning district committee in Chinatown and the Lower East Side, and a study of Walmart's impact on local economies with Public Advocate Bill de Blasio.
Together with Dr. Angotti, CCPD's staff is made up of graduate students in urban affairs and planning committed to democratic, inclusive, and participatory approaches to planning and development that foster sustainability and economic and social justice.

How far can a needle carry you?
Hello everyone, and happy (almost) spring! I finally finished a quilt! It's a mini quilt, but it still counts, right?
I've been doing a lot of quilt designing since I got EQ7, but only a couple of them have actually made it out into the world as actual quilts, so I've decided to make as many of them as I can into mini quilts, on the theory that more of them will see the light of day. I'm pretty in love with this one, which I'm calling "Spring Fling"; it's been raining for about 300 days straight in Seattle (or it feels like it, anyway!), but things are once again green and a few brave flowers are blooming, including all the cherry trees.
I used Cotton + Steel (and one triangle of Sarah Jane, because Narwhals) in a bunch of different prints, trying to stay within the same shades of pink and green, on a background of Kona Cotton in color Nautical. I know everyone and their mother is obsessed with Cotton + Steel, but there's a reason! The prints are adorable, the colors are gorgeous and steadfast, and the cotton is high quality. I can never decide which prints are my favorites, so I've bought a couple of stash boxes from Pink Castle Fabrics and been really happy with the mix that came...it probably helps that the designers love mustard green, pinks, and blues just as much as I do! Also, there's bunnies on a bunch of their lines, and who can resist bunnies??
Lately I've been really interested in how you can make thousands of patterns with just HST (half square triangles) arranged different ways, so most of my recent quilt designs are playing around with that. I've also been thinking a lot about reflections (must be all those pools of water everywhere...), so this design is sort of a play on that and where we put our negative space.
I also had to upgrade my machine last year (a word of warning to those making rope baskets: make sure your motor can handle it!) and I hadn't actually quilted anything on it, so I took it out for a spin and quilted some tulips as borders.
They're not perfect, but I'm coming to accept that my quilting never will be, and probably never should be. As my husband regularly points out, it's what makes handmade things different; the "mistakes" are sometimes the thing people love about it. Which doesn't mean I'm not going to try...just that I won't take it out more than once. Or twice. Three times, tops! I quilted it with Aurifil thread; a variegated green color on the pink and green triangles and a navy blue on the negative space. I've switched over to Aurifil almost exclusively; it's the only thread I've found that doesn't give me a lint headache while I'm making the rope bowls, and there's no sense in buying one set of thread for those and one set for quilting! I do use 40 weight thread though. I know a lot of quilters who swear by 50 weight, but it's too thin for the bowls, I've found, and doesn't make much of a difference to me when quilting. I think it made a pretty cool pattern on the back though, since I outline quilted the whole thing.
For the binding, I used a bit of quarter inch bias tape I had laying around, which I did by hand. I swear, I really did attempt to machine bind it, but I just never like the way it looks. I realize that I probably never will until I practice, but for now, I like the peace of hand sewing, and it's kind of nice to just take a minute to sit with your quilt, so I'll probably stick with it for the forseeable future!
Spring Fling (along with some new bowl designs) is up in the shop, so if you're looking for a bit of springtime for your wall, now would be the chance! I think I've made the decision to keep just my Amazon shop; I think it's a bit easier, both for me and for you guys, but feel free to send me feedback on that if you have an opinion one way or another - it's always nice to have your input :).
To get accurate circles, I used my making pen (always test first!) and a compass to draw them as straight and close together as I could, then quilted those lines. I really like the little diamonds in between each circle, and by following one curved line after another (so, top half of one circle into the bottom half of the one next to it), I kept the stopping and starting to a minimum.
This technique worked well and I'm definitely going to use it again, although I think I'd make my circles smaller, just because I tend to like things more densely quilted. I added some teal binding (Ta Dot in Teal by Michael Miller) and once the baby was here, his initials and the date of his birth.
I usually just freehand when I do initials, but I wanted these at a specific spacing within the circle, so I used my ruler to give myself some lines while I was writing.
All in all it turned into a pretty little blanket even without the piecing I usually do, and it was certainly a lot faster! I think I'm going to do a few of these when I'm having one of those "need to sew, but don't want anything super complicated" days.
Now that the issue is out, I can finally write about the Nye quilt!
It's been so hard to keep this one under wraps because I loved it so much, so keeping the secret for 3 months was really tough. It was also my first pattern to be published in a magazine, so of course I wanted to shout it from the roof tops!
I've had some people ask about the process and how this came about, so I thought I'd go over how it happened for this post. I've followed Kristy over at Quiet Play for a long time now (I absolutely love her paper pieced patterns and tutorials), so when I saw that she was starting up an online magazine called Make Modern with Jane (of Where Jane Creates) and Lara (no blog but check out her awesome instagram to see her amazing projects), I decided to just see if I could come up with something worthy!
I've been using the Quiltography app to play around with some designs, and this quilt came out of one of those. I might post a more in depth review of Quiltography at some point, but basically I feel it's a worthwhile tool for the price; there are some shortcomings but it's pretty helpful for $15! I sent in a sketch to their submissions page, and heard back from Kristy pretty quickly that they liked it, but wondered if I could play around with it and make it more modern. I took a few hours and reworked it, and came up with the final design, which they loved!
That first email was way back in late July, so I had two months to make the quilt and photograph it, not to mention write the pattern and make the template! There was a lot of trial and error for the size of the bow tie blocks; that's one huge shortcoming with the app - there's no measurement aspect to it, so you're still on your own with the math - which is decidedly not my strong suit. I eventually got it worked out though and got to work. Things were going well, until I figured out halfway through that I had been using the wrong white as the background! It was just barely noticeable, but I couldn't let it go, so I had to redo about half of my blocks. Luckily, it gave me lots of practice, so by the time I was done with this thing, I could whip out about 12 of them in a day.
I ended up fussy cutting my fabric so that each bow tie block had a bee and a little beehive included, and I'm so happy I took the extra time because it ended up looking really nice.
I'd been writing the pattern as I went along (I find it's easier to do it as I go rather than trying to remember after the fact), so once the quilt was done, I just had to tweak the flow of it to make sure the instructions made sense. We were getting into the rainy season here in Seattle by then, but I managed to get photographs on a rare sunny day over at a nearby playground. I sent everything in (on time, I might add!), and then all that was left was final edits! The magazine did all the technical edits (thanks ladies!), so all I had to do was go over the proof, and the final template needed to be tweaked a bit. And then...I had to wait.
There was about a month between when I turned it in and when the pattern came out, and it felt like so long, especially after Kristy emailed to let me know that they had chosen my quilt for the cover! I was so thrilled, particularly since all the projects in the issue were so great.
So that's the story! If you'd like to make this quilt for yourself, the pattern is in issue two of Make Modern Magazine, and you can buy it (or subscribe!) at their website. Or if you fancy buying the original, it's up in my Etsy shop. And for my fellow quilters, if you're thinking of submitting a design, the ladies at Make Modern are lovely to work with, so I encourage you to take a shot at it!
Up until a few months ago, I had been fairly lucky in my quilting life. Some frustrating moments, but no huge failures. Until the Kisses Quilt of Doom.
It didn't start out as a quilt of doom. It started out as me consuming entirely too much modern art (I spend a lot of time on google images), combined with a new challenge from the Modern Quilt Guild and Michael Miller for the new Petal Pinwheels line of fabric. I'm a big fan of both Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and have been wanting to try a pop art inspired quilt for a while, so I decided this was my opportunity. It started out well; I came up with a plan to cut one inch circles out of the fat quarters provided, after fusing them to some Heat 'n Bond.
I cut three lips outlines from some white fabric (again backed by Heat'n Bond) fused the little circles to those, then ironed the lips onto a larger piece of fabric. All was well, things were looking great!
And then...well, things went to hell in a handbasket pretty quickly. Turns out that all that Heat'n Bond made my fabric really, really thick, and I broke 4 needles just trying to get those things quilted. Not taking the hint, I decided to quilt diagonal lines a quarter inch apart...which halfway through I realized were bowing and turning more into half moons than straight lines.
This is where things really took a turn for the worse. I unpicked all those stitches and then, like a good quilter, marked my lines so I could sew them straight. Only, I failed to realize that I had grabbed my grease pencil meant for marking templates, and not my washable quilting pencil. So, see these nice black lines? Can you guess what didn't happen when I washed it?
Yep. They didn't come out. At all. I tried everything I could think of, and everything the internet suggested, but I still had a beautiful quilt with ugly grease marks on it.
I still had a week until the challenge due date, so I cried a little, then sucked it up and started over (and I got my Letterpress dress out of the dismantling process, so it wasn't all bad). This time I just appliquéd the lips, so the only part that had Heat'n Bond was the little dots. I marked the lines again, but this time with tailor's chalk, which I had tested on the fabric and had washed out great. Quilting went quickly and smoothly, and I was so happy to get it done with a few days to spare.
I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out, though I still get pretty frustrated when I look at it. I do think the blue adds an interesting texture and I still like my original idea, so I may try it again at some point (some point that is far, far in the future). I do love how cutting up the fabric made really interesting geometric patterns, and I like the bold colors.
I might like it more than the front, although I suspect that's more my irritation talking than anything.
So there you have it: my first total quilting failure. I didn't win the contest, but I'm still proud of myself for finishing, and she's heading to be shown at our guild's exhibit at the Northwest Quilting Expo...where I hope no one will be able to tell how many mistakes are in this one!
Remember when I finished the hexie duvet and I said I'd take a break from hexies for a while? You all knew I was totally not going to follow through on that, right? Good, because I couldn't resist!
I got the this fabric (Comma by Zen Chic for Moda) from my mama-in-law Leslie for Christmas last year, and I loved it so much that I've been hoarding it for just the right project. It was a jelly roll originally, so I've been researching various patterns for strips, but...it just felt like it needed to be patchwork, and squares aren't really a thing that grabs me. Despite my frustration with how long the first hexie blankie took, I loved the process (making and sewing hexies is pretty meditative) and it came out looking amazing. The picture of these fabrics in this pattern just wouldn't go away, and I figured six months was probably enough to think about it. The start of this was also aided by the sudden onset of super warm weather here in Seattle; when it gets too hot in the afternoon to machine quilt, this is a good alternative.
I learned a lot from the last blanket, not the least of which is that these little guys take a lot of time and patience, so this project isn't for anybody or anything in particular. I'm not even all the way sure what it will be - I think that will depend on how big it is when I get sick of it! I also cut the fabrics in a hexie shape to start out with, instead of squares; the squares worked fine last time but did create a bit of bulk in some of the seams, and it's looking a lot neater this time around. Admittedly, absolutely no one but me cares about that, but it still makes me happy.
I love all of these fabrics and how they play together, but these ones are my favorites (right now).
Obviously polka dots are always at the top of the list, and the other two kind of look like fireworks to me. I love that hexies made from the same fabric come out looking different, just because of placement.
And on a side note, has anyone else used these full finger leather thimbles?
I love these things. Regular thimbles never seem to fit right, or make the tip of my finger feel weird (and I hate the metal ones). These are made with super soft leather, and the stretchy bit on the back makes it fit your finger really nicely, while still letting you move your finger freely. My grandmother used them quite a bit when quilting, and I've been looking for them for years with no success. I happened to come across one of hers that was still in the package, so now I know that it's made by Dritz and is still around - I will definitely be ordering a bunch to have on hand. Check them out next time you need a new thimble!
Ta da! The hexie quilt is finally done!
The final tally was about 1500 hexagons, 4 spools of thread, and a million hours of sewing, but it was so worth it! It's a mix of different fabrics from different companies, but there's a whole lot of Michael Miller and Robert Kaufman in there. I'm really happy with the overall pattern (which was only half me; Mike and Aliya picked out the arrangement of the hexies), but I also love looking at the individual fabrics. As you can see, I used a lot of Just My Type.
I hand stitched the hexies together, and then quilted them with a decorative loop stitch. I wanted to reinforce the hand stitching so it would hold up to every day use, and the loops add a nice texture. I was asked to make it into a duvet cover instead of a traditional quilt, so I used a yellow and white striped fabric for both the duvet part and the binding. It turned out a bit heavier than I would have liked, but it had a lot more pieces than I normally use, and a lot more thread, so there wasn't much I could do to avoid it, and it ended up with a nice drape anyway.
I really like that it can be a duvet cover, but also looks nice just by itself, so it can still be used when it gets hot around here (which, admittedly, is really only for about a month in Seattle, but still).
This quilt was a lot of work, but I learned so much while I was working on it (main takeaway: you will need more hexies than you think!), and it's already getting tons of love from it's new owners :). I'll definitely make another one...although I think I'll stick with baby sizes for a while!
Linking up this week with I Quilt Thursdays over at Pretty Bobbins!
The fabric is from a Michael Miller line called Just My Type (in "Letterpress"). I am somewhat obsessed with these prints at the moment; my love for Michael Miller's cottons is well documented, and the colors are fantastic. I used a bunch of them for the hexie quilt (coincidentally they were just the colors I needed!) and have plans to make some modern baby quilts out of them soon - luckily my local fabric store has most of the prints in stock still. A fat quarter was more than enough to make this little guy, with enough left over for probably one more if I'm lucky. I was really tempted to keep it, but I'm glad I decided to swap, because I got the cutest strawberry!
It was made by the lovely and talented Kam (she blogs over at http://www.needleplusthread.com and you should go visit). I just got my strawberry patch in a few days ago, so it was good timing! I also love that it's hanging; I have a little row of hooks that sits just to my left when I sew, and this is perfect to hang off of one of them for easy pin access.
While I was at it, I made a second pincushion that goes over the wrist, to wear when I hand sew. I wasn't sure if this was a thing other people would want or need, so I didn't want to make one to swap until I've tested it out. I've been doing a lot of hand sewing lately, and have a really bad habit of sticking needles and pins into the arm of the couch. Not only is this bad for the couch, but not too long ago I managed to get a needle puncture to the wrist after bringing my hand down in the wrong spot. I've been trying to keep them in a bowl since then, but it's a pain to have to reach over every time I need a pin or a place to put my needle temporarily. I'm pretty much constantly finding needles in the laundry that have fallen off of shirts I've stuck them into, so I'm hoping this eliminates that problem!
This print is a fabulous one from Timeless Treasures called Adult Novelty (in Sewing Machines). It has a bunch of sewing machines from different decades, in really bright colors; this one is one of the 1930s ones. It was pretty simple to make, although I think next time I'll put some cardboard in the bottom to make sure nothing sharp gets through. I've been using it for a couple of days though, and so far no puncture wounds for either me or the couch :P.
If you're curious about what goes on at the guild (or want to join!), you can see more over at the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Instagram feed or visit the blog, where there's lots of pictures and information!
I didn't really have any idea what this was going to look like when I sat down to do it, and I started pulling scraps, since it's a small project. While I was digging around in my drawers, I came across the jelly roll of Comma (by Zen Chic for Moda) that I've been hoarding since Christmas, waiting for the perfect project. Obviously, this was not going to take the whole jelly roll, unless I wanted a name tag that would also keep me warm, but I pulled some of my favorite colors. Rita over at Red Pepper Quilts posted a good run down of this line, and informs me that the green on cream fabric is called Swinging. The green with the commas is called, weirdly enough, Commmas, and the gray on cream is called Asteriks. I'm not sure if this line is still available, but I love the bold colors and graphics - perfect for modern quilters.
For the bottom part, I used a paper piecing pattern from a new book called Vintage Quilt Revival. This book is fantastic; every block is really pretty, and I want to make all the projects at some point. I think the sampler quilt from the front is destined to live on our guest bed someday. I used just two of the Geometric Star pattern, and printed it at 60% size so my tag wouldn't be too big.
For the back I used a bit of navy fabric I had left over from the Hexie quilt, which I'm almost positive is from Riley Blake. The letters in my name and the randomly added purple octopus (which is there for absolutely no reason other than to make me happy) are from the book Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection. Most of you probably already know who Aimee Ray is, but if you've never seen her patterns, get over to her website right away. One of the things I love about both of these books is that they came with CDs to load the patterns onto your computer, which makes it really easy to combine patterns and resize things.
When it came to the lanyard part, I made it up as I went, mostly because I didn't want to get up and search for a pattern. It's made of the leftover strips of fabric, sewn into a tube, turned right side out, and seamed on both sides. I just sewed it to the back; I don't have a ton of need for a lanyard in my daily life and it's unlikely to leave my tag anyway, so it didn't really need to be removable.
And for the last piece...my MQG pin!
The only downside is that now I have to wait five whole days to wear it and show off my handiwork...I may just wear it around the house in the meantime :P.
My grandmother was a quilter, and this is one of a few quilt tops that she gave me several years ago. She had largely stopped quilting at that point, and I had just started. I had them out in my room for a while, but felt much too intimidated to even know were to start quilting them, and eventually they got put away for space reasons. This one is all hand turned and appliquéd, with beautiful golden birds and indigo clouds.
It's quite long, and I haven't yet decided if I'm going to keep it tapestry length, or cut it into two pieces to make a blanket. It would be the perfect size for a baby blanket, and as my grandmother is no longer with us, I like the idea of making our (eventual) baby something that she started.
Again, it's all hand quilted patchwork. I think when I do quilt these, I'll hand quilt them, maybe with a bit of machine stitching in the ditch to stabilize it. I'm just now, some 5 or 6 years later, feeling confident enough in both of these skills to feel like I'll do them justice. I'm really glad that I didn't just use these as practice projects, and I think they'll be beautiful with some careful planning.
Next up is an apron that I bought on sale right after my husband and I moved in together. It seemed like a good idea to have a cute apron for our brand new kitchen, and this one had a cupcake already drawn onto it (it was a kit, I think from Martha Stewart), so it seemed like an easy project. And it was...3 years later. I found it in the boxes and finally stitched it up, which took about an hour and made me feel really dumb for not just doing it sooner!
This was one of my first knitting projects, and you can tell that I wasn't so good at seams yet. It's also made out of wool, which is not exactly the most practical yarn for a baby garment, but at least it's warm! I think I'll redo the seams and add snaps in the enclosure rather than velcro, but then it can go to a new home.
This was made for me when I was a baby, and was in my room for my whole childhood. It came with me when I moved out on my own, and has lived in whatever space I used for sewing for the last few years. It's looking a little worse for the wear, admittedly, but I still love it, and it's been restored to it's proper place above my craft desk.
So there you have it, my version of buried treasure! Pretty sure I would have been an excellent pirate :P.
The brown fabric was a heavy cotton that's been in my stash for a while; originally it was going to be a skirt, but there wasn't quite enough of it to go around. The flannel baby print was a remnant that I picked up on sale somewhere. I've been trying to evaluate my fabric stash and use up the odds and ends to make room, and I have no idea why I didn't see that these two would be perfect together sooner.
I wanted a quick project and didn't particularly want to hand bind (I'm hand stitching a lot of the Hexie quilt so I'm a bit on overload as far as hand sewing goes), so I just sewed the pieces together with the right sides together and quilt batting on one side, then turned it right side out through a little gap. I topstitched with Mettler thread in a dark chocolate color, and I'm really happy with how even and straight my walking foot is getting my stitches these days.
Here's the part I'm really excited about, though: I've been practicing my free motioning (I've been doing a bunch of tutorials from Leah Day over at the Free Motion Quilting Project, but I haven't been brave enough to show any yet!) and I decided to free form letters on this one. I used my darning foot to write "love" in cursive a few times, and it turned out really cute.
It's harder to see in this one, but this is how it looks full length.
You can't really see it at all on the back, but that's okay since the writing would be backwards :P.
I think next time I'll do smaller writing closer together, so that it's a little more densely quilted, but it worked out well for an experiment! If you like it, this quilt is available in my Etsy store :).
And since it's been a while, here's Penny the bunny hopping over to give it her sniff of approval :).

The Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 2.0 (Nike Mars Yard Overshoe) Will Retail For Close To Half A Rack!
Way back in March we let you know that another Tom Sachs x Nike collab is set to release later on this year. The shoe will be called the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 2.0. Although no images of the shoe have leaked, above you will get a photoshop rendition of what theTom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 2.0 is expected to look like. The shoe is expected to come dressed in a White, Sport Red, Black and Cobalt Bliss color scheme.
According to py_rates, the latest release info suggests that the retail price of the shoe will be set at $450. In addition to the MSRP announcement, we also got word that the shoe is officially named the Nike Mars Yard Overshoe. the Mars Yard Mid will officially be called the Mars Yard Over Shoe. The shoe will come with a "moon boot" design equipped with new technology.
In addition, an infant version of the shoe will also be releasing, and that will be called the Nike Mars Yard Infants and is set to retail for $80.
Look for both adult and infant versions of the model to release sometime next month.

Episode 159: Behind the Scenes Creating the Do Less Planner

I'm the kind of person who sometimes isn't sure what she thinks until I'm talking to someone else. Not because I'm looking for their opinion or reaction, but because I'm an external processor and there's something about being witnessed that helps me understand myself better.
Last week Mike and I sat down to talk about something that I've been working on since November 2016 that's finally ready for the world. Until I sat there in our basement with my love and partner in all of the things listening to me, I didn't really get the magnitude of what I've been working on.
I finally realized what a big deal this creation is for me—but also how much potential it has to be a big deal for women all over the world.
Here's what I've found:
When we strike out to make things with the purpose that they become a big deal (or with the purpose that they make us a big deal), they often fall flat or are somehow unsustainable.
When we make the things that are so much an expression of ourselves that we cannot help but make them, even if it's slowly and quietly in the privacy of our own minds or closets (where I get some of my best ideas), they're often the things that end up being the biggest deal.
This week on The Kate & Mike Show, we're taking you behind the scenes in the making of the brand-new Do Less Planner, and in the episode you'll hear me acknowledge how major this thing that I made for you is.
The things about producing our first digital product that have been trickier than we expected (nothing is ever all rainbows and unicorns)
How this planner will change your relationship to time, your body, your work, and your worth (I know it's a big promise but I stand by it)
How this planner came to be with some really important nuggets for anyone making anything, digital or physical
What the elements of my planner system are and how you can use the insights behind them to get better results with less stress
Why this planner has the potential to revolutionize your experience of life
After you've listened in, I'd love to hear from you:
What did you hear in this episode that was a new perspective on time and planning for you? How will you implement it in your life?
I'm not sure I've ever been as proud of something that's come out of me other than my two girls as I am about the Do Less Planner. I couldn't be more thrilled to be sharing it with you now.
The purpose of the planner and what will happen if you use it [9:50]
The (transparent) story of how it was created, and the way that Kate realized it can be an effective tool for everyone, not just members of Origin ® [11:40]
Why this planner is so different from the others, and the role a planning system can play in your life [18:38]

Q: Accessing array from render inside JSX I am trying to iterate through the returned array from render inside return.
class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    let actortype = 1;
    const arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
    const arr2 = ['x', 'y', 'z'];
    if (actortype == 1) {
      var array = [...arr1]; //clone arr1 to array
    } else {
      var array = [...arr2];
    }
    return (

           //I want to map through the array returned above in render. I am doing something like this:
                array.map((index)=>{

testing

            })
         // seems not the right approach to  access array inside return. returns plain text

    );
  }
}

Please share your feedback, how can I do that.

A: You use a JSX expression ({}) within the div, around the call to map:

    {array.map( item =>
{item}
})}

and either use return or use a concise arrow function (I've done the latter above). For more on this latter point, see Why doesn't my arrow function return anything?

A: you are doing it right :

     {array.map( item =>{
      return
{item}

    })}

For condition above you can just use tertiary operator i.e.
    let actortype = 1;
    const arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
    const arr2 = ['x', 'y', 'z'];
    const array = actortype == 1 ? arr1 : arr2;

A:

     {array.map(item =>(

{item}

     )}

A: You have done some mistakes. The map must need to return something. And rendering some HTML inside the map needs a key property.

class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    let actortype = 1;
    const arr1 = ["a", "b", "c"];
    const arr2 = ["x", "y", "z"];

    // Declare it here
    let array = [];

    if (actortype == 1) {
      array = [...arr1]; //clone arr1 to array
    } else {
      array = [...arr2];
    }
    return (

        {array.map((value, index) => {
            // must return inside map and use a key property is a must
            return (
testing: {value}
)
        })}

    );
  }
}
ReactDOM.render(<Example />, document.querySelector("#app"))

A: You should awoid using a name array as a name of your variable and name index as a name of variable in your loop.. so the code should look like that..:
class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    let actortype = 1;
    const arr1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
    const arr2 = ['x', 'y', 'z'];
    if (actortype == 1) {
      var new_array = [...arr1]; //clone arr1 to array
    } else {
      var new_array = [...arr2];
    }
    return (

           //I want to map through the array returned above in render. I am doing something like this:
                new_array.map((array_item)=>{

{array_item}

            })
         // seems not the right approach to  access array inside return. returns plain text

    );
  }
}

Anwar's 'corruption': Naqeeb's father testifies before NAB today
Posted on May 30, 2018 Categories: Corruption News Comments are off for this post
ISLAMABAD:
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Sindh has summoned the father of slain tribal youth Naqeebullah Mehsud today (Wednesday) to record his statement over alleged corruption of Sindh Police's suspended cop Rao Anwar.
Anwar is accused of killing Naqeebullah in a fake encounter in January.
On May 26, Naqeebullah's father Muhammad Khan, through his counsel Faisal Siddiqui, submitted a three-page compliant to NAB, requesting an inquiry under Section 22 of the NAB Ordinance, 1999 and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010 against Anwar for having assets beyond known sources of income.
According to the complaint, Anwar's salary, as senior superintendent of police, was Rs113,722 as on April 2018. It was obvious that Anwar is involved in acquiring assets beyond his means and involved in the offence of money laundering.
"His travel record reveals that Rao has made 74 trips to Dubai since 2012. It is incomprehensive how an officer with a maximum salary Rs113,722 can afford so many international trips. Therefore it has been established that his international trips have been financed beyond his means," says the complaint.
It also refers to a news report which says that Anwar had been running a multibillion-rupees criminal empire from his office in Karachi's Malir district.
"He was also the head of local thugs who were part of a network involved in extorting protection money and running a numbers of rackets, smuggling Iranian petrol, narcotics and illegal water hydrants," adds the complaint.
And "in view of numerous international trips, there is a possibility that illegal money has been laundered in Dubai, which requires serious investigation," it maintains.
The complainant submits that NAB has the jurisdiction to probe into the matter as it is an offence under section 9 (v) of the NAB Ordinance, 1999.
Currently, Anwar is in custody on the charges of Naqeebullah's murder. The former SSP has been repeatedly suspended from this post on charges of illegal and corrupt practices.
After the testimony of Naqeebullah's father, NAB can order an inquiry into the matter.


This is week 2 on the one room challenge and today it's all about progress and products!
I am posting a day early because of a scheduled post I have tomorrow.
If you would like to start at week 1, go here to see the room from the beginning stage.
The only thing I like about this bathroom is the stripes, and even they are going to go.
I mean, that floor! What was I thinking?
This is a tiny tiny room, so I will be maximizing every inch of space which means I will not be doing the wall mounted sink of my dreams, but instead, another vanity.
This bathtub might be the only thing left over in our house from the 1950's.
Alright guys, I started demo on the room this past week. It wasn't pretty. A lot of rot, mildew, and funky smells, I'm not gonna lie. But you have to go through the ugly to get to the pretty right?
So let's talk about the pretty shall we?
Some products I ordered are starting to come in, while some I haven't even picked out. Yikes!
But here is what I have so far for this One Room Challenge, and I am pretty excited about all of it!
On a side note, I will probably paint the handles or replace them with black ones.
Now, let's address those floors shall we? They are so bad. I think I might have said that a time or two, or 500.
For the floors I will be installing this gorgeous cement tile. I have literally had it sitting in boxes in storage for about 4 years. That's how long overdue this bathroom is.
a new gorgeous handcrafted sconce, as well as additional can lighting. On the ceiling that popcorn ceiling will be going by by!
And as far as the shower door, drumroll please!!!! We will be installing one of these that we had custom made for our space! Yes, I am making you click over with no sneak peek because it is that good!
I am so excited to see this room come together!
I still need to finish gutting the space, including taking down all the drywall and tub enclosure.
Pick out tile for the shower.
Decide if I will keep the original medicine cabinet.
What do you think? Are you as excited as I am?
To see all the rooms in the One Room Challenge, click right here.
See you back next week for hopefully some prettier pictures!
I cannot wait to see the finished room! Looks gorgeous. PS the link to the vanity took me to a World Market glass oil bottle?

New Games for 2023
Big in 2023
Marvel's Avengers is displaying IP addresses of players, but a fix is coming today
By Hirun Cryer
Crystal Dynamics has advised PS5 players to not stream or share their screen while playing
(Image credit: Square Enix)
The latest Marvel's Avengers patch is accidentally displaying the IP addresses of PS5 players.
Marvel's Avengers patch 1.8.0. was introduced across all platforms yesterday, introducing plenty of improvements to the game, as well as the new Cosmic Cube Event. However, players on PS5 consoles noticed that a string of text began appearing at the bottom of the screen after the patch was initiated, and it turns out this text is their IP address.
We're aware of the issue where a floating string of text appears on the screen and are investigating. Thank you for the reports!June 22, 2021
It goes without saying that this is a massive problem. If a Marvel's Avengers player on PS5 were to take a screenshot of the their game and post it online, for example, the whole world would be able to see their IP address. Currently, there's no way to fix this in-game, and so developer Crystal Dynamics is asking PS5 players not to stream or publish screenshots from the game until this issue is fixed.
Thankfully, a fix appears to be on the way. As you can see in the tweet from the official Marvel's Avengers Twitter account just below, there is apparently a hotfix remedying the issue coming later today on June 23 for all PS5 players. Here's hoping that this upcoming hotfix completely sorts out the issue straight away, so PS5 players can go back to playing Marvel's Avengers without fear of their IP address being discovered.
PlayStation 5 players should refrain from streaming or posting screenshots online until then as sensitive information may be displayed.June 22, 2021
On the horizon, there's better things in store for Marvel's Avengers players. Earlier this year, Crystal Dynamics revealed Black Panther: War for Wakanda, an upcoming expansion that would bring the game to the Black Panther's home nation, as well as making the hero himself playable. This is going to be the first big DLC expansion for Marvel's Avengers since it first launched last year.
Just recently, we got a brand new look at the War for Wakanda expansion through a new trailer. At E3 2021, Square Enix debuted a new trailer showing the Black Panther himself fighting against the villainous Klaw, as the latter tries to bring about the ultimate destruction of Wakanda. Black Panther: War for Wakanda is launching as a free update across all platforms later this year in August 2021.
For more on what's coming next for the superhero game, head over to the full Marvel's Avengers 2021 roadmap (opens in new tab) for more.

When you begin dreaming up a game room for your home, chances are you'll probably start out thinking big instead of considering some very important specifics. One of the most overlooked details that people regret not considering before installing loud entertainment systems and noisy arcade games is sufficient soundproofing.
Like any exciting activity, table shuffleboard has the tendency to spawn raucous cheering, laughter, and playful fighting amongst participants. And, although no louder than many standard arcade games, the weights used on your shuffleboard aren't soundproof when they are lagging down the main alley of the table.
McClure shuffleboard tables are crafted out of the finest quality Michigan Maple, which means these tables extremely durable and will last your family through many exciting shuffleboard matches. Maple, however, is known for its acoustic quality, as it is used to make fine instruments like violins and pianos, so the noise of the gameplay may need to be deadened if your game room is located near someones bedroom.
There are several easy solutions to all of this that will make your game room a wonderful place without annoying people in other parts of the house. First of all, you can employ sound dampening tiles on the flooring in your game room that will absorb acoustic reverberations. These kinds of tiles can be store-bought, state-of-the-art equipment, or simple thick foam squares that you can purchase on the cheap.
If you already have a thickly carpeted space to set up your game room, you can better the spaces acoustics by going crazy with wall hangings. One solution, whether you have windows in the space or not, is hanging heavy drapes along the walls at various points to help trap in loud noise.
By making sure your game room is soundproof, you can get as rowdy as you like.
