Crafter, designer, and blogger Denise Sabia of The Painted Home loves to turn the old and forgotten into the new and delightful.
So when she came across a little old camper, she had an idea for what it could become.
When most people transform campers, they turn them into charming little living spaces, perfect for road trips. But other people want to turn them into something entirely different, whilestill keeping it conveniently mobile. We've seen people turn campers into everything from hair salons to photo labs.
So when Sabia got her 1972 Shasta camper, she knew she would want to share it with the public, too.
She turned it into The Crafty Camper, a tiny classroom where she would teach all kinds of crafting and DIY skills to visitors.
She enlisted the help of her nephew, a carpenter, and together they transformed the camper into a perfect mobile classroom.
Then, it was off to fairs, festivals, exhibits, and parties!
Denise Sabia fell in love with this 1972 Shasta camper. As someone always on the lookout for the next project, she wasn't content to simply keep it as is.
Instead of keeping it as a simple camper, Sabia turned it into a mobile crafting classroom, which would travel to events, parties, promotionals, and more.
And thanks to the skills of her carpenter nephew, the interioractually did double duty. The camper served as a classroom and also for family vacations with her three children and their dog.
Due tothe small size of the camper, Sabia's crafting lessons remainedfairly simple, which also makes them appealing to people who have never tried crafting before.
Lessons included candle decorating, turning old T-shirts into scarves, and making memo boards from chicken wire and old picture frames. At parties and private events, some people came with requests for crafts they'd seen online.
For larger groups, she often set up a larger table so that as many as 15 people could come by. It also serves as a way to advertise all the things you might learn to make.
And the inside? Just as cute.
This table, which couldseat four, served as a crafting table, and the oilcloth cushions mean that should anything spill, cleanup waseasy and the cushions won't get stained.
"I wanted to keep it clever and economical," Sabia said. And economical is key in such a small area.
This table wasalso removeable to reveal a slide-out bed, and there was a fold out bunk hidden away, too.
That means that every space wasdedicated to storage. The vintage suitcases under the counter wasused to store crafting items, and the counter itself started out as an old shipping pallet, topped with a donated countertop.
And the sink wascreated from a bucket from the Home Depot.
And after each lesson, crafters tookhome a handmade, one-of-a-kind item. Iftheyweren'tfeeling crafty that day? That's okay, since there wereusually completed crafts for sale, too.
Sabia's clever camper gained her a lot of attention in the Philadelphia area, even landing her a spot on the news.
And when it came time to roll the camper on home, it folded up quite neatly.
However, Sabia's time with the camper came to a close last summer.
Although she'd dreamed of having a camper for a long time, she found that it was a better idea to sell it to someone who would take good care of it.
The camper was purchased by fellow DIY enthusiast and pattern makerKelly McCantsat Modern June.
And as you can see, McCants is giving it all the love it deserves. She's even given it a new name, SewJunie!
Check out what Sabia has been up to on her website, Facebook, and Instagram.
AndSHARE this adorable camper to inspire someone you knowto get crafty!


It is very significant to understand your current situation before switching your career. You need to understand your financial condition, your current job profile, qualification and experience before making a career switch.
If you wanted to make a career switch then why didn't you choose that career from the starting? Why didn't you qualify in that field? Why did you choose your current field? Why are you not interested right now? Why do you want to make a career switch right now? If you are willing to switch your career then will you be able to manage the financial needs? Will you be able to prosper in your new desired career? What if you fail, do you have any backup plan? All these questions must be answered by you before making a career switch.
You need to introspect yourself about what you want to do in life. Do not judge your wishes based on the money generation factor, scope etc. You must also know what is right for your mentality and if you are having some character which does not suit your desired profession then try to inculcate the behavior or try to change your passion.
You must get to know your true love from your hobbies and interests. Jot down your positive points and the things which you are afraid of. Get to know your talents, favorite TV shows, books you read etc. Accordingly, choose your career option.
After jotting your talents and interests you need to sit calmly and explore the right career direction. If you want you can arrange a meeting with any career counselor and they will guide you as per your talent and explain to you the pros and cons of the field in a much better way. Match the following with the career choices against your talent and be sure whether you can actually prosper in this field effectively.
Now you have got the career choices and your interests. So this is the time you must actually do the required groundwork to fetch the job and flourish as a professional in your career. You need to ask the following question to yourself before going for an interview.
How much money can you generate?
Will your career need ongoing education?
Is there any need for an apprenticeship?
Is there any there any need for job certification?
After considering all the points you must estimate your financial condition and savings. This is very important because you are changing your career and it might take some time to generate money from your new career until such time will you be able to manage all your financial needs. This question is very important which most of them actually ignore and finally suffer.
All the above points must be carefully analyzed before switching your career path.

FOOTBALL: The Woodlands wins state 7-on-7 championship
Demetrio Teniente
Published 4:00 pm CDT, Saturday, July 9, 2016
The Woodlands football team won the state 7-on-7 tournament on Saturday in College Station.
It was no easy feat, but by mid-afternoon on Saturday, The Woodlands Highlanders fought and clawed their way to the Adidas 2016 State 7-on-7 Division I Championship in College Station.
When the dust settled, The Woodlands had defeated Dickinson 32-26, capturing the first-ever state 7-on-7 title by a team from Montgomery County.
The annual competition has been around since 1998, when Southlake Carroll became the inaugural champion.
"It is so exciting; I can't even describe it," The Woodlands 7-on-7 coach TC Schneider said. "You could always see that little spark in them that they were going to take it to the next level. To see it come together in the championship like that is real special."
Schneider, a 2015 graduate of The Woodlands, helped coach the Highlanders to the state tournament but was unable to join them this weekend, leaving former classmate Jake Coll to take over.
"At the beginning of the Dickinson game, we came out pretty hot," Coll said. "Then we let mental errors on defense and some dropped balls on offense let them back into the game. We knew we had to keep things simple and not try to do too much. And we made some plays."
A year ago, The Woodlands advanced to the quarter finals of the tournament only to be sent home by Manvel, 39-38, thanks to a long Mavericks touchdown in the final minute of action.
This summer, the Highlanders were a very different team, especially in the secondary with four starters graduating in May.
Still, the latest iteration of The Woodlands seemed to have its usual flair for the dramatic with four of its five games in the championship bracket being decided by six points or less.
"It really came down to [quarterback Eric Schmid] and the offense," Coll said. "He knew when time was running out and we needed to be perfect. It just shows you how he was able handle the pressure and make those throws."
The Woodlands began Saturday's championship bracket with wins over Dawson (33-32) and Richardson Pearce (32-27). The Highlanders then kicked off the afternoon with a 40-25 win over College Station in the quarterfinals, followed by a thrilling 32-26 win over DeSoto in the semifinals.
The Highlanders cruised through pool play on Friday, finishing with a 3-0 record after easily dispatching Poteet (33-12), Jacksonville (37-19), and Hutto (49-12).
"We started out a little slow, honestly," Coll said. "Our first game was actually the only one where we trailed at halftime. The offense just started picking up steam, and our defense just got better as the day went on."
The Woodlands also picked up three individual awards this weekend. Schmid was named Offensive MVP, defensive back Jacob Moore was named Defensive MVP, and wide receiver Dylan Casey was named the Speed King.
The Highlanders hope this state title well help propel them to an even bigger one this coming season.
"It's always hard to compare 7-on-7 to real football," Coll said. "A lot of teams don't run the same offense or defense that they do in the regular season, but that is one thing we do. Getting to come out and compete at a high level against some of the best teams in Texas — that is all you can ask for."
Willis goes winless
The Wildkats didn't share the same good fortune as The Woodlands this weekend and went winless in their first tournament since 2011.
Willis first dropped all three of its Friday games in pool play against Westwood (13-7), Fort Bend Travis (33-20) and Southlake Carroll (47-22).
Saturday wasn't much better for the Wildkats as they dropped their first game in the consolation bracket to A&M Consolidated, 43-36.

Home Beginner Cloud mining and how you could benefit from it?
Cloud mining is a bitcoin generating process that allows people to earn Bitcoin without necessarily having powerful mining hardware, sophisticated software or bandwidth. This is facilitated by companies that have Bitcoin mining hardware and that are offering contracts for cloud mining. These companies have mining hardware in remote data centers from which cloud miners purchase the output of Bitcoin mining power. In simpler terms, cloud mining is a simplified model of Bitcoin mining that allows more people to hop on the bitcoin and altcoin mining bandwagon. Cloud mining is an optimal option for those who find the cost and technicalities of hardware-software integration for real mining purposes daunting.
Also: tips and strategies for conducting successful ICO marketing.
Since its advent in 2009, Bitcoin has threatened conventional mediums of exchange particularly money as we know it. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin and the ease of transaction that comes with it has seen Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies gain major traction in recent years. Digital coins, unlike conventional money, are mined in a rather sophisticated way, which requires advanced integration of software and hardware. The hardware, software, and electricity power requirement for this process is too high for most people to engage in the mining process.
To engage in Cloud mining which is also known as Cloud Hashing, one must evaluate certain factors. First, one must determine the contract provider they intend to work with. There are several companies offering cloud-mining services. Some of these companies will be highlighted in this section for comparison purposes and not an endorsement.
Hashflare mining company offers SHA-256 mining contracts, but the company recently issued a statement stating that the SHA-256 contracts have been exhausted. Consequently, sale or purchase of these contracts will be suspended until new hardware is delivered to their data centers.
Genesis mining is the biggest Bitcoin and crypto-cloud-mining contract provider. The company offers three Bitcoin mining plans including Zcash mining contracts.
Minex is a cloud-mining provider that offers an innovative aggregator of blockchain projects whose presentation is often in a simulation game format. Instead of contracts, Minex offers Cloudpacks for purchase. An index from sets of cloud mining casinos and lotteries among others are then built using the Cloudpacks.
What next after choosing the contract provider?
After determining the provider, one must then determine what contract they want to purchase. For instance, one can choose between a 500GH or 1000GH contract and what period they want the contract to last. Most of the contracts offered are for a one-year term, but some providers offer shorter contracts for Bitcoin and Litecoin. Though the definition of cloud mining and all it entails might seem extremely daunting and risky by definition, it is in fact not that risky according to the CEO of Genesis Mining, Marco Streng.
The contracts for cloud mining contracts are often sold on per hash basis. While the cloud mining is an opportunity is an approach that allows for Bitcoin mining it is important to note that there are factors that determine profitability in cloud mining. For instance, pay per GHash/s would be 0.0012BTC/GHS for a 24-month contract. Additionally, difficulties realized sometimes in the Bitcoin network is another major factor that affects the profitability of cloud mining for both parties. The measure of the difficulty involved in finding a hash below a given target is what is referred to as Bitcoin network difficulty. Change in Bitcoin Network Difficulty happens after 2,016 blocks or every two weeks.
Despite the complexity and difficulties involved in cloud mining, the cloud miner stands to enjoy certain benefits.
The miner does not incur the cost of electricity involved in real mining, which is often very high.
One does not need to deal with the daunting task of integrating sophisticated hardware and software to mine.
The hardware used in real mining produces high amounts of heat which one does not have to contend with in cloud mining.
Additionally, the miner will not have a problem regarding disposal of mining equipment when mining ceases to be profitable.
There has been an overwhelmingly high number of Bitcoin cloud mining frauds. Therefore, engagement in cloud mining is subject to the 'caveat emptor' principle. Investing in Bitcoin and altcoins through direct purchase and mining is quickly becoming a go-to investment. While in the rush to get a piece of this action one must not forget to perform their due diligence, lest they fall victims of Ponzi schemes.

One thing I have actually noticed is always that there are plenty of misguided beliefs regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about foreclosed. One fable in particular is the fact the bank prefers to have your house. Your banker wants your hard earned money, not your property. They want the cash they loaned you having interest. Steering clear of the bank will undoubtedly draw some sort of foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your publication.

Q: Quando clicar na div menor, abrir na maior Tenho o seguinte layout.

O quadrado maior, mostra um dos quadrados menores, só que em tamanho maior. Ou seja, se eu clicar no segundo quadrado menor, ele tem que mostrar no quadrado maior.
Existe algum plugin para isso? Pois preciso que seja gerenciável.

A: A estrutura é bem simples. Temos a seguinte marcação HTML:

Sua marcação pode ser diferente dessa, mas o que importa é a mecânica. O objetivo é mostrar a imagem clicada na div maior, certo? Vamos começar criando a função para ser rodada ao clicar em alguma das imagens:
$('ul li img').click(function() {...

Primeiro pegamos a url da imagem que foi clicada:
var url = $(this).attr('src');

E então definimos a nova url da imagem da div #big:
$('#big img').attr('src', url);

Simples, não é mesmo?

Demonstração
O CSS é só para melhorar a apresentação mesmo.

$(function() {
    $('ul li img').click(function() {
        var url = $(this).attr('src');
        $('#big img').attr('src', url);
    });
});
#big {
    border:1px solid #333;
    width:300px;
    height:250px;
    margin:0 auto;
}

ul {
    list-style:none;
    text-align:center;
    padding:0;
}

ul li {
    display:inline-block;
    width:100px;
    height:100px;
}

img {
    width:inherit;
    height:inherit;

The neutral particle beam dump is applied for the separation of neutral particles like atoms or molecules from beams of charged particles by 25° deflection.
The neutral particle beam dump can be applied for the separation of neutral particles like atoms or molecules from beams of charged particles. It consists of an electrostatic deflector with two segments. The electrostatic deflector enables the deflection of charged particle beams up to 8 keV per charge state in horizontal direction by an angle of 25°. The neutral particles are not deflected and dumped on the electrode surfaces which are mounted on thermally conducting insulator materials. If necessary, customer-specific solutions including an active water cooling system for high-power applications can be delivered.

Friend Me by Sheila M Averbuch
by Minerva • December 1, 2020
Do you have children with phones? Silly question really, as Ofcom's 2019 survey found that 83% of 12 to 15 year olds in the UK owned a smartphone. So, it's only fitting that some of the contemporary literature for this age group features interaction with a digital device. Yet, writers of fiction have argued for some time that phones get in the way of plots. It's harder to go missing and have an adventure if your parents can text you every two minutes. It's easier to solve mystery clues if you can just 'Google' the answers. And far less interesting for the reader.
But Averbuch has discovered a cruelly satisfying way to lend interest to the digital device. It can, as she says in the book, become an easy way for a loner to look busy or popular – they can just look down at their phone.
Friend me is a cautionary tale. Roisin, recently moved from Ireland to America, and struggling to fit in, is bullied in school by Zara. Happening in person, but exacerbated online, Roisin finds herself unable to confide in her parents (her mother is a workaholic, her father back in Ireland), or her older brother. However, she finds a true friend in Hayley, online. Someone who lives at an inaccessible distance in real life, but who online, not only sympathises with Roisin's experiences, but has shared similar, and completely agrees with Roisin on pretty much everything.
But then Zara, busy taking selfies, has a dreadful and shocking accident, and when Roisin thinks about it, it's not that shocking in regards to private conversations she has had with Hayley.
The book almost pivots at this point, from a contemporary tale about a new girl, into a scintillating, positively filmic thriller, in which Roisin must race against time to discover who Hayley really is, what impact she may have had on Zara, and perhaps while Roisin's doing her detective work, discover a bit more about who she is herself and what true friendship means.
What could seem unrealistic towards the end, never quite reaches implausible limits, simply because the premise is so simple – when we get sucked into our phones, it can have an effect on our real lives, and friendship can be a messy business.
Grippingly tense in the second half, and nicely built in the first, this is an exciting new read for tweens and young teens, and an excellent warning about phone over-reliance. As we know in our Covid times, there really is no substitute for face-to-face interaction, and friendship in person.
Roisin is a well-rounded character, with identifiable weaknesses and immaturity, and yet possesses a good moral compass and firm grounding. She is easy to know and like, and the reader is rooting for her all along, even when perhaps wincing at some of her text messages.
The prose-style lends itself well to the subject matter – this is an easy, absorbing read, with enough incident and drama to keep readers fully engaged, and most thrillingly it doesn't dictate the rights and wrongs of the situation, but lets the reader find their own way through the dilemmas and trials so common to this age-group. The author clearly has a great grip on tech, and young people's use of it, and the story feels authentic and apposite.
A good read, highly recommended. Put one in the teen's Christmas stocking!

Greenwell's right knee looks like it lost a fight after three surgeries, which include a repaired anterior cruciate ligament her junior year with the Aces, ACL and meniscus repairs after the McDonald's All-American Game and then another to repair the meniscus when she first got to Duke.
She sat out her freshman year doing rehab like it was her mission to make that right leg stronger than any other leg that ever walked the planet.
"The reason I probably tore it again is I didn't put a lot of emphasis on lifting and continuing rehab once I was cleared to play," Greenwell said. "So this time, I knew how to rehab properly. ... I did things a little differently and just tried to focus on being as strong as possible."
Even now that she's back playing — back at 100 percent by her estimation — she still does those exercises every day.
When she first was cleared to practice last January, Greenwell admits that she thought about the knee when she was on the court, but now her only reminder is the small brace she slides on.
"My knee feels great and I feel back to normal really," she said. "I'm just thankful to be healthy and be able to play again finally."
When exhibition games rolled around in October and November, Greenwell was a little bit nervous.
It had been two seasons since she had played in a game. By the time she hit the floor in the Blue Devils' opener at Alabama, she knew it was show time.
"Once I got out there and got in the flow of the game, it felt good," said Greenwell, who netted 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven steals in her Duke debut.
The performance led Coach Joanne P. McCallie to call Greenwell "incredible.
"She found a way to do so much from the floor. We obviously played her from the three-ball, but she can do so much more than that. She's a terrific guard. She can rebound, pass and score, and she showed that."
With no true point guard this season, Duke has asked Greenwell to do plenty and she's responded.
Not including the Devils' game against UMass-Lowell on Friday night, Greenwell is averaging 13.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 steals.
The redshirt freshman, who owns the national high school record for three-point baskets in a game with 17 against Whitesville Trinity, is the team's second-leading scorer, its third-best rebounder and she leads in steals.
"Becca's always finding a way to get stuff done and be productive," McCallie said of the 6-foot-1 guard, who has four double-doubles already at Duke.
Kentucky Coach Matthew Mitchell, who recruited Greenwell out of Owensboro Catholic before she narrowed her list to Duke and Notre Dame, said the guard looks like the same star he watched for so many years in high school.
"She hasn't missed a beat," he said this week.
Greenwell might disagree, noting that she's still making the transition to the college game.
But she's starting to feel like her old self again despite what some coach might have whispered one day.
"I've been not as consistent as I want to be," she said, "but that's coming game by game ... I'm getting better every game."

SHERYL CROW TAPS KEITH RICHARDS, STING, NEIL YOUNG, & ERIC CLAPTON FOR FINAL ALBUM
Out today (August 28th) is Sheryl Crow's new star-studded album, Threads. The set features guest spots by such icons as Keith Richards, Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Sting, Gary Clark Jr., Neil Young, Joe Walsh, Kris Kristofferson, and Vince Gill — among many others.
Highlights on Threads, which Crow has stated will be her final full-length release, include Eric Clapton reprising his guitar work on a cover of George Harrison's "Beware Of Darkness" with Sting and Brandi Carlisle, and her cover of the Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge country weeper, "The Worst," with Keith Richards.
Sheryl Crow spoke frankly about what this album means to her, both musically and spiritually: "The common thread is music and the people that made them. When I reflect on my career, I reflect on a seven-year-old who was obsessed with records and would pore over the album credits and would dream about becoming a Stevie Nicks or a Bonnie Raitt or an Emmylou Harris or a Keith Richards. And that thread, from the moment of being inspired by musicians and music, runs all the way through my life creatively and personally. And it leads me, actually, into this next generation of young artists who are still inspiring me to make music and do what I'm doing."

Richardson Drug Lawyer
Home > Richardson Criminal Lawyer > Richardson Drug Lawyer
Some of the most common cases heard in criminal courts around Richardson involve the illegal possession, use, and distribution of drugs. Even small amounts of marijuana are still illegal in the state, and police who find any person with these items can make an arrest and charge them in court. A conviction for even the lowest level drug offenses can result in a jail term and a criminal record.
It is vital that people who are facing drug allegations take every possible precaution to protect themselves. This can include working with a Richardson drug lawyer. A goal-oriented defense attorney could help to conduct their own investigations into the incident and present a defense to juries designed to protect your future.

There are two main classifications of drug offenses in Richardson. The most common are allegations involving the simple possession of illegal substances. The Texas Controlled Substance Act defines these controlled substances and creates criminal offenses that follow from their possession. These substances include but are not limited to:
Heroin and other opiates
Cocaine and cocaine derivatives
Hallucinogens such as LSD
Sections 481.115, 481.116, 481.117, and 481.118 of the Controlled Substance Act create criminal penalties for possession. There are many potential penalties depending on the specific charges, but in general, the more drug in a person's possession the harsher the penalties.
The other class of drug charges involves those involving drug distribution. These are much more serious and a court that convicts a defendant of distributing any type of controlled substance is required to sentence that defendant to at least 180 days in jail. The most serious drug distribution charges will result in a life sentence. A Richardson drug lawyer could help anyone facing a drug charge, regardless of how serious.
The Legal Concept of Possession in Richardson
It is very rare for police to witness a defendant actually holding an illegal substance. As a result, it is common for police officers to apply for warrants to search a person's home, car, or business. This means that police have probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime is in these places.
This belief relies upon a very liberal interpretation of the concept of possession. Most people imagine possession as having an item on one's person. However, courts have expanded the definition of possession to include any way a person exerts control over an item. Therefore, possession can exist when a person has drugs in their home, in their car, in their purse, or even in a warehouse. A Richardson drug lawyer could help those facing charges better understand the concept of legal possession and to rebut these assumptions in court.
A Richardson Drug Lawyer May be Able to Help
The mere allegation of a drug offense could throw your life into chaos. A conviction could potentially forever change your life. It is essential that you understand what you are facing and how to defend your freedom and reputation.

"Do not go." That was the advice the wise-woman gave Nathaniel when he spoke to her about the Alraune, the flower woman that had twice preyed upon his body and mind. She was did not seem particularly old and wizened as he'd expected, but there was an undeniable wisdom in her eyes, and she knew what the creature was called as soon as he began to speak about her.
He didn't understand and he told her as much.
She was not unkind, nor was she particularly patient.
He did not answer, instead he blushed.
Even in the heavy shadows his face was crimson as his mouth remained shut.
Nathaniel bowed his head and made to leave.
With that, he left her and made his way to the storerooms built behind his family's home. There, he armed himself as he had before, adding to his supplies a lantern and oil.
The mask and visor had aided him once before and he trusted in them again.
He also thought long on the wise-man's words and his own wits. Flowers did not bloom in the darkness, he would come to her in the night, set her ablaze and be free as she was wrapped in those massive petals.
It was the last, and most desperate of his plans.
Nathaniel had done his best to study a book of spells and arcane secrets that belonged to an old codger with no real use for them, but all he gained from that was a headache. The rules of magic, those he could decipher, seemed obvious and were more well known as common sense than any secret alchemy and the power of a name seemed like mist to him, a thing he could see and sense but could not hold.
The book was filled with vagaries about the power of truth, but there was one line of deliberate wisdom he took from the book that he knew could aid him at least in some small way. By speaking the true name of another, one would take from them their power to beguile, mislead and bewitch, as truth bred greater truth.
So it was, he left at sunset, and with the same ease he would have had under the noonday sun, he made his way back into her domain.
Twilight bled slowly into the heavy dark of night, and as he made his journey, Nathaniel was surprised that he caught not even a hint of her scent. The heady perfume of her will was absent from the air, and so he came to the edge of her clearing without warning.
Silver moonlight shone down, and he found the darkness softer to his eyes, almost translucent instead of heavy and obstructing. He saw her flower, petals up, and as he lit his lantern, he called out to her.
He threw the lantern with all his might, full of oil and burning hot, it sailed though the darkness.
As soon as he spoke her name, the petals unfurled and she was there before him in the moonlight and in the path of the blazing lantern. He watched her make a strange gesture with one hand, twisting her fingers in a mysterious symbol, while waving her other hand before her.
The air grew cold with a violent chill, and wind cut through the night.
He watched in horror, and in a relief he denied even as it washed over him, as the flame was extinguished and the lantern fell to the earth, bound in a ball of ice.
"The things our hearts drive us too my sweet Nathaniel, the passions that must play before we can accept our feelings." As the moonlight danced across her green skin, the petals of her flower, and of her gloves were dark as black velvet, and her eyes danced with their own silver light.
"But… the laws…" The visor was down and he found his bow in hand and an arrow being knocked as his heart pounded and a fear he had never known before thundering with every beat.
"If I wished it, I could freeze your blood or turn your flesh to stone, and knowing my name would deny nothing." Her voice was light and loose, the music in her words echoed in the softness of the night.
She waved her hand again and made a different sign, and as she did, the wooden shaft of his arrow twisted with the wood of his bow, and all at once it felt from his hands and started to sprout leaves.
There was a sweetness in her words, but it was as mocking as it was tender. It was somehow both more condescending and more charming than she had ever been prior, but he couldn't tell if that was only because his senses were clear, free form her intoxicating perfume that fogged everything and coated the world in a warmth that invited only the most profound pleasure and deep surrender to her voice.
He closed his eyes, a feat that demanded more of himself than he would have ever guessed, especially not when she was wielding any mystical influence on him, and he turned to leave her.
Well now, I bet you think you know how this one will end, but I can tell you now it's only "kinda" what you think.
If you've made it this far, then might I recommend you buy Part 3 down below? And if you have't read 1 and 2, you can buy Part 1 here, and Part 2 here.

Jos Buttler wants to be fearless in Ashes: 'I feel like I have nothing to lose'
52minMatt Roller
Preparation is being disrupted by the weather and there are concerns around Covid-19, but the focus is on the Gabba
Andrew McGlashan30-Nov-2021
Ben Stokes will be tough to hold back if he's ready to go - Ashley Giles (1:00)
He's never played a first-class match, let alone a Test, in Australia and the final week of preparation leading into the opening game of the Ashes in Brisbane looks set to be disrupted by the weather, but Jos Buttler is determined to go into the series unburdened by things he can't control.
Buttler is part of the second group of England players who have now joined the full squad following their quarantine after the T20 World Cup but on leaving their Gold Coast camp for Brisbane they encountered torrential rain which wiped out the opening day of their final warm-up match.
With the forecast poor, there is a real chance England may not get any proper middle time in the days ahead. The first intrasquad match last week had just 29 overs on the first day. Australia are in the same position with their three-game likely to be canned - and have also had to deal with the off-field drama around Tim Paine's resignation - although some of their players have been playing in the Sheffield Shield over the last two months.

Australia likely to ditch three-day intrasquad game due to bad weather

Buttler did not play England's most recent Test, against India at The Oval, due to paternity leave but had been due to regain his place for the Old Trafford match that was called off due to Covid-19 concerns. Overall it was a disjointed home season with no great Test reward for Buttler, who missed the New Zealand series due to the IPL and then made 72 runs in five innings against India, but he is ready to embrace the challenge in Australia.
"I feel like I have nothing to lose, to be honest," he said. "It's sort of been disjointed, that [year] just gone. Some good form and some bad form and in the year before as well. It's the first time I'm experiencing an Ashes series [in Australia] so I'm fully determined to enjoy all the challenges that throws up. I'm excited to experience it, the good the bad, and I'm sure the highs and lows along the way.
"As a player at the minute I'm trying to bring a fearless approach and to truly try and embrace the opportunity. I know when I get to somewhere near my best that's going to be pretty good."
Jos Buttler had a lean home series against India AFP/Getty Images
Buttler has reasonably extensive experience playing in Australia although it has all been in the white-ball formats. He averages 38.71 from 18 ODIs, has played five T20Is and has had Big Bash stints with Melbourne Renegades and most recently Sydney Thunder.
"Familiarity with some conditions is something I can dip into and hopefully not be surprised by," he said. "But I think the challenge always as a player is to adapt to any conditions that are in front of you and adapt quickly. The practice, when you can practice, is incredibly important for that and your first five, 10 balls are vital as a player to understanding the conditions and playing accordingly. But certainly I will try to dip into that experience and I'm in my early 30s now so played quite a bit of cricket and hopefully know what to expect."
As ever in the current world there could be further complications thrown the way of the series. It remains to be seen whether Covid-19 protocols will need to be tightened following the emergence of the Omicron variant - with cases detected in arriving passengers in New South Wales - and the impact any potential changes to international border restrictions could have on families.
Buttler was among the players to raise concerns about families not being able to join the tour but he said it was too early to be worrying about a scenario where they were unable to fly out.
"It's a hypothetical situation at the minute. Until we get told that something's changed there's no decision to make and it just adds to the unknown. So it's things I don't really need to worry about at the moment. If something like that happens I have to get the information and we can work through it and see how that looks."

WASHINGTON – Sen. Robert Torricelli is losing ground in his re-election bid and all three of his little-known Republican challengers are closing the gap, a New Jersey poll shows.
The Quinnipiac University survey found Torricelli, nicknamed "The Torch," is under 50 percent against all three rivals and state Sen. Diane Allen, a former TV anchor, now runs strongest against him.
Torricelli leads her by 12 points, 44-32 percent (down from 19 points last month). He leads state Sen. John Matheussen by 15 points, 46-31 percent (down from 24). And he leads businessman Douglas Forrester by 18 points, 47-29 percent (down from 27).
"It's bad news for Torricelli because three literally unknown Republicans can get 30 percent against him. Once this goes to one on one, it could be a real horse race," said Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll.
The survey covered 837 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.


Summary: Far too many thrillers rely on action to cover up the lack of a convincing plot and poor character development but The Cossack makes you believe in the genre again. Highly recommended. K J Lawrence popped into Bookbag Towers to chat to us.
Daniel Brooking is not what you'd think of as hero material: he's a photographer of some merit and in his fifties he has a settled life. It was the disappearance of his assistant, Ivan Shevchenko, which disrupted everything. It wasn't unknown for him to disappear occasionally, but missing an exhibition was a first for him. He'd been distracted for a few days - and then there were the strange papers which arrived, to be kept safe. The authorities, in the form of a shadowy senior member of the security services, confirmed the view that Ivan was probably dead, because of some supposed connections with organised crime and drug dealing.
This didn't sit well with Brooking: Ivan might have smoked the odd joint but the man he knew would never have been involved as a dealer or with organised crime. The papers which Ivan had sent suggested that he was researching something to do with a bank in the United States and as it seemed that no one was prepared to look into this angle Brooking took advantage of a planned trip to the States to make a detour to New London in Connecticut. The reader understands rather more than Daniel at this point: we know that Ivan is dead, the victim of a contract killing. We know quite a bit more about the killer too.
I don't often read thrillers: far too many rely on action and bloodshed to cover the lack of a substantial plot and poor character development. When an author has a plot which you soon stop trying to second guess and characters who stay with you long after you've finished the book, thrillers are a pleasure to read. I started reading The Cossack thinking that I might read it over a week or so, but I'd finished it within twenty four hours and deeply resented the fact that a prior engagement meant that there had to be a break in the middle.
The characters are brilliant: there isn't one who doesn't come off the page fully formed. I found myself rooting for a killer and even having some understanding of a brutal sadist and what made him that way. Strangely enough, the most shadowy character was Brooking himself - he carried the book but didn't overwhelm the story. The person I really fell for though was Ivan Shevchenko's feisty sister, Yana, a doctor in war-torn Kiev. Days after finishing The Cossack I'm still mentally involved with the characters and that's always the sign of a good book.
KJ Lawrence is a superb writer who can evoke a location in just a few words: I quickly decided that I had complete faith in the author to tell me a good story and I rather hope that we'll hear more from her and possibly of Daniel Brooking. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
I recently enjoyed The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne: The Cossack is of the same standard.

As the Northwestern Wildcats football team gears up for their season opener against Cal on Saturday night, students at the prestigious Evanston college were ecstatic to find their team ranked by AP, the coaches poll, and ESPN, each of whom have them as the 7 multiplied by π best team in the nation (or (4!)-2 in factorials).
Northwestern is bringing back 15 starters from last year's squad, which ended with a 10-3 record and a Gator Bowl victory, including many of their skill positions. Journalists at the Daily Northwestern have pointed out that they have a 83% chance of exceeding last year's lofty status, though they did add there was a 23% margin of error with their calculations.
Even the most pessimistic of Northwestern's students have told reporters they feel confident that the Wildcats will make, and possibly win, another bowl game this season, and they have stated they'd be disappointed with anything less than the sixth Fibonacci's number amount of wins.

Q: How to query API by string on DB structure that relies heavily on foreign key integers? I'm looking for a solution to dynamically build a query from query string parameters. Finding things by strings that are related through foreign key integers. But mainly focusing on the output – that is; WHAT will the resulting query look like.
Well, first of all I trialed and errored the crap out of it, then tried googling the crap out of it. I read up on JOINS and other related stuff, but nothing seemed to give me any clues in what direction to go; therefore I'm asking the question here:
I have a database structure that is heavily based on foreign keys. Good for some things, but hard for others.
I want to be able to filter data based on querystrings (API style):
example.com/resource/?from=boston&to=atlanta
TABLE 1: Based on foreign keys from TABLE 2
numbers in 'from' and 'to' are ids from TABLE 2

id
from
to
…

1
7
8
…

2
8
7
…

3
8
9
…

…
…
…
…

TABLE 2: Containing the 'name' strings to filter by

id
name
…

7
Boston
…

8
Atlanta
…

9
Chicago
…

…
…
…

Ideally I want to iterate the querystring and build the query dynamically. So, in pseudo code, something like this:
If my query object looks something like this (extracted from the query string):
// Single parameter
let queryString = {
    "from" : "atlanta"
}

// Or multiple parameters
let queryString = {
    "from" : "atlanta",
    "to" : "chicago"
}

I'd like to be able to do something like this:
let q_length = Object.keys( queryString ).length;
let q_counter = 0;

let q = `SELECT table_1.id, table_1.from, table_1.to, …

    ...

    FROM table_1`;

    if ( q_length > 0 ) {

        ...

        q += ` INNER JOIN table_2`;

        ...

        for ( const [ key, value ] of Object.entries( queryString ) ) {
            q += ` ON table_1.${key} = table_2.id`;
            q += q_length++ > 0 ? ' AND ' : ''; // Prepend AND from second q_count and forward if we have multiple query parameters
            q += ` WHERE table_2.${key} = '${value}'`;
        }
    }

    q += `;`;

I'd like to end up with something like this (basically TABLE 1 rewritten from integers to strings):
if my query object looks like this:
// Single parameter
let queryString = {
    "from" : "atlanta"
}

I'd like the result to look like this:

id
from
to
…

2
Atlanta
Boston
…

3
Atlanta
Chicago
…

Getting ALL "FROM Atlanta".
and if my query object looks like this:
// Multiple parameters
let queryString = {
    "from" : "atlanta",
    "to" : "chicago"
}

I'd like the result to look like this:

id
from
to
…

3
Atlanta
Chicago
…

Getting ONLY "FROM Altanta TO Chicago".
Boil Down
To boil it down, I would probably end up with something similar to this (dynamically iterating and pulling stuff from other tables as SUB QUERIES or the like):
let q = `SELECT T1.id,
        (SELECT T2.name FROM T2 WHERE T2.id = T1.from LIMIT 1) AS FROM,
        (SELECT T2.name FROM T2 WHERE T2.id = T1.to LIMIT 1) AS TO
    FROM table_1 T1
        JOIN table_2 FROM
            ON T1.from = FROM.id
        JOIN table_2 TO
            ON T1.to = TO.id
            WHERE FROM.name = 'Atlanta'
            AND TO.name = 'Chicago';`;

And the query should 'theoretically' work on an infinite number of tables – no need to discuss performance. Well unless you've already taken that into account of course. But just to keep focus on a proof of concept level.
NOTE: To all you Down Vote Trolls out there breaking the platform; please, add a comment of what you think does not live up to your high standards of asking a question, instead of just clicking the down arrow, leaving one unable to 'guess' what offended you. Only THEN will I be able to iterate and expand on what took the better part of a day to hopefully formulate properly in the first place.

How Freight Tec Can Help Agents Get Carriers Set Up in Less Than 6 Minutes
Freight Tec
Agents, Carriers
The freight transportation industry has at least one thing in common with virtually every sector: the importance of speed and flexibility. Sales come and go in the blink of an eye.
If it's true that "time kills all deals," as many say, then anything that prolongs the process of a deal should be avoided.
Setting Up a Carrier Takes Too Long
One of the most common challenges hindering healthy freight carrier relationships is the length of time it often takes to set up a carrier in a freight broker's system. All of that back-office work is important, for sure, but it's not what agents and drivers do best. It's important that the initial set up go smoothly to ensure expectations are met and the relationship remains strong.
Freight transportation is perhaps as deeply beholden to time as any other industry out there. While time is of the essence, the painful truth is that carrier setup can take hours or even days to finish. By the time this marathon process is complete, the carrier may have already given up and moved on. Even if the carrier stuck it out, who knows whether that relationship has been ruined for future deals.
Reducing Carrier Setup to Six Minutes or Less
To avoid losing loads because of the unacceptably lengthy one-time carrier setup, freight agents are looking for solutions. Technology is one of the most natural aids.
Freight Tec prepares its agents for success by providing a state-of-the-art process that allows a new carrier to be set up in just six minutes. It's quick and easy at FTCarriers.com via computer, tablet or smartphone. Throughout the process, Freight Tec's experienced back-office staff is a phone call away, waiting to help.
The flexibility available through a streamlined carrier setup process is invaluable. Independent agents are empowered to go out and secure new carriers at a moment's notice — without fear that the deal will be derailed by administrative nonsense.

Freight Tec is ranked in the top 100 of the 15,000 Brokers in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine. Learn more today about why so many carriers haul for Freight Tec.

GG Allin - You Hate Me & I Hate You 45 (1982)
You Hate Me & I Hate You // Automatic / Assface
Label: Orange Records (ORA-70 • 206029)
Recorded: Fall 1981, Dark Star Studio - New Boston, NH
Released: Summer 1982 (matrix indicates June 1982 pressing)
Lineup: GG Allin (drums, vocals), Alan Chapple (bass), Rob Basso (lead guitar), Chris Lamy (guitar)
Jabbers modified cover
Test pressing labels
Various inserts
The Jabbers finally got around to recording their standard live opener "You Hate Me & I Hate You" in mid-1982, packaged with two of the best songs from "Always Was." But why waste valuable real estate with duplicate tracks? My only guess is that funding was low, so the studio time went towards the GG anthem, and he lifted "Automatic" and "Assface" to round out the ideal Public Animal No. 1 experience. As with most of the singles, GG also played drums on the title cut. Growing aggravated by the near-irrelevant status the band was becoming relegated to behind GG, Alan had some "and the Jabbers" stickers made up & stood by while GG stuck them below his name on the covers of roughly 200 copies. Most copies of this EP came with the "Live at The Channel" insert, and a couple of "Public Animal No. 1" inserts also exist. The UK label Catch-22 released the three-songer on cassette with slightly modified artwork.
Updated info from Blood Orange Records: Rob Basso was still with the band when this track was recorded but Fortin had already left. GG asked Kedz guitarist Chris Lamy (the Kedz had played a few shows with the Jabbers so Allin was already familiar with Lamy) to play rhythm guitar and Lamy accepted. Shortly thereafter Lamy became the Jabbers' only guitarist when Basso also quit. Like we have seen before, Rob's name was dropped from the release because he had already left so GG thought he didn't deserve being credited.
You Hate Me & I Hate You (It doesn't have to be that way GG)
In the pictures that come with this single GG Allin looks like he's trying to be Iggy Pop. He's crawling around on the floor with no shirt on and sometimes has real aggressive expressions on his face. So naturally one would expect music at least as powerful as the Stooges right?
Well GG fails miserably at even being a 2nd rate Stooges. Why? Because the music sounds like radio pop. This stuff is so full of hooky little choruses it's enough to make you vom. All GG Allin has to do is tone down the guitar (just a little bit more than it already is), cut out all the four letter words and he could take his demo tape to Warner Bros. and they'd start feeding him all the cocaine he could handle.
At least on record, GG Allin isn't half as aggressive as he thinks he is. If you want it anyway, write to: GG Allin, 542 Beech St., Manchester, NH 03104.

If I didn't know any better I'd think this guy was raw, rude and mad — America's Public Animal No. 1.
— Boston Rock #32 (Boston, MA) Sept. 22, 1982
You Hate Me is neither socially relevant nor of any great shock value. Twangy guitars and wimpy vocals, along with the fact that the two songs on the flip "Assface" and "Automatic" have been previously released on GG's album, make this a very unnecessary single. Write to GG Allin, 542 Beech St., Manchester, NH 03104
— First Offense #4 (Boston)
Thee "Public Animal #1" or so he wishes with "You Hate Me & I Hate You" EP in which GG seems to have gone a little bit pop, but actually the truth is this sounds a lot like, gasp, the Angry Samoans!! A nice fun hateful EP.
— Flipside #34 (Whittier, CA)
The undisputed king of New Hampshire raunch rock returns with yet another trashy garage offering. GG may be predictable in his excesses, but when the results are this loud and absurd, it's OK with me. This type of bone-crunching guitar-heavy stuff is as American as moldy apple pie, but don't expect the Reaganoids to invite GG to perform at the White House.
— Maximum Rock N Roll #2 (Berkeley, CA) September/October 1982
GG Allin (Public Animal No. 1) is at it again with a new single called "You Hate Me And I Hate You." Still as raw as ever — even more so. The two songs on the flip side "Automatic" and "Assface" show the transition from punk to the pure hardcore of the new song "You Hate Me And I Hate You" — a hardcore must. GG Allin, keep going.
— New Age (New Haven, CT) August 14, 1982
Now here's a guy who thrives on abuse (both verbal and physical). And, as you might imagine, it's tough to get an appreciable level of satisfaction out of mauling a character who's cheering you on.
GG Allin apparently prefers to get bad (even vulgar and openly contemptuous) reviews. So, naturally enough, he tries to make each new record worse than its immediate predecessor. But he even fails at that (the jerk).
This disc is more of the same. What do we call it this year … punk? Hardcore? Rubbish? Dung?
A-side shows how much he likes us all. B-side offers two tunes, "Automatic" and "Assface" — an autobiographical essay in sound, no doubt.
The band on this petrol biscuit is called the Jabbers and if we don't mention that, they're gonna quit or something. A nasty record. But then the sleeve's even worse.
Allin is slated to appear on an A&M anthology LP to be entitled The World's Most Hated Bands with the Sic F*cks early next year. Wow! I know I'm really impressed.
Rock 'N Roll News is going to investigate this guy. And find out what the story is. Watch for details. Sheeesh!
As the (ahem) promo packet says, "Buy it now. No radio station will play it."
— The Newpaper (Providence, RI) Oct. 20-27, 1982
"Hate" is a big "Fuck You" aimed at Allin's detractors (whom he seems to thrive on) in the garage punk style. The others are almost pop as punk goes. "Assface" (not by Allin) is about a girl who's not especially liked, though no reasons are given, and "Automatic" aside from lines like "Don't go playing with me emotionally or I'll make you bleed internally" seem almost tender. GG only wants to be loved!
— OP (Olympia, WA) The "N" Issue, Nov/Dec 1982
"You Hate Me…" sounds like the Boys (from England 1977). A bit too upbeat to be convincing as a hate song. Especially when you could be listening to the Fuck-Ups "I Hate You (and you hate me)" now there's the real thing. The flipside of this EP has two songs from their album which are better, especially "Assface" with its twisted vocals and funny lyrics.
— Ripper #8 (San Jose, CA) January 1983
Does persistence pay off...this guy probably fucked his older sister and ate dog dew or something and he wants whatever image in decadence you want to foist on him...good thing there's no lame Wayne Kramer riffing because I think he's a lot closer to stardom here...a singalong tune for when the oven cleaner has your head spinning...but GG that sleeve isn't gonna cut any mustard...how about a picture of your massive leather bag?
— Touch & Go #20 (Lansing, MI)
This is what I get for encouraging irresponsible types. Allin's last single, "Gimme Some Head," was a crude but enjoyable '77-vintage raveup. But my gong has come out of storage for the new single from New Hampshire's "Public Animal #1." GG's discovered hardcore, and he uses his newfound speed to deliver a general-purpose "fuck you" that's as tired as it is immature (as if he'll ever be guilty of highbrow entertainment).
— Trouser Press (New York, NY) November 1982
The public animal does it again! GG never ceases to amaze me. I really can't see how anyone as crazy as this guy ever got on vinyl. Nevertheless, I am quite happy he did. It seems that he keeps getting better every time he releases a new record which is more than I can say for most bands today (and this time he has come up with a good one). This three song EP is the best thing to ever come out of Boston (at least that I've heard) and I really mean it.
The title song is fast but enjoyable and the rest of it pretty well follows the same rule. The record should be distributed down here; if not, Ol' Dan's should have it. Pick it up, it's well worth it. It's worth about seven skulls to be exact.

Roger and Bernadette McNeil
I am so sorry to let you know that Roger is deceased. Please read his obituary below.
Roger Scott McNeil, 66, of Fargo, ND, died August 5, 2021 at their lake cabin in South Dakota. Roger was a husband, dad, papa to five kiddos, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend. He was also an avid square dance caller and dancer.

Roger worked in the trucking industry in various positions his entire work career.

You are probably excited, too. You might be wondering what Santa will bring or what you will discover under the tree come Christmas morning. Will it be what you wanted? Will you get what you have asked for? When I was a child I remember the excitement, trying to guess what I was receiving. I also remember that there were many Christmases when I was disappointed. The actual day was somehow less than all that I had allowed myself to imagine it would be. Do you ever feel like that? That feeling of disappointment when you don't get exactly what you asked for? Or when what you asked for wasn't nearly as exciting as what you thought it would be? Are you like me, waiting and waiting and then thinking, this is it?
Sometimes I wonder if that is how Mary felt when Jesus was born. She had been visited by an angel, who told her she would have this very special baby. She visited her cousin whose own baby was excited at her presence, but when Jesus was actually born it was in a barn, with only cows and sheep and some other animals in attendance, and the only people who came to visit that night were some dirty shepherds. After all, this was the son of God.
If I had just given birth to the son of God I would think there would be something visibly special about him, glowing skin or the ability to interact and speak, but he didn't do any of those things. Jesus was just a baby, like every other person who has ever been born he had ten toes and ten fingers, two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth, and I wonder once Mary had given birth is she thought, just for a moment, Oh, that's it, He looks just like any other baby.
I hope she didn't. I hope that when she held Jesus in her arms she thought how amazing it was that she held God in her hands. I think that some of our excitement about the coming of Christmas must be what all the Israelites felt as they waited for the Messiah to come, and as the Wise Men journeyed from the east to see the new King that had been born.
So this year, instead of being excited about what I might receive under the Christmas tree, I think how exciting it is that Jesus is coming. I try to imagine what it must have been like to think, finally the savior is on his way, and come Christmas Day I will be thinking how amazing it is that God became a person, a little baby, just like you or me, so that I could know him and he could save me.

Hydro boss is state's best-paid
Svein Richard Brandtzæg, chief executive of Norsk Hydro, earned the most last year of all the bosses of large Norwegian companies in which the state has a major stake. His pension, bonus and other benefits catapulted him over the CEO of Norway's biggest company, Statoil.
Hydro CEO Svein Richard Brandtzæg earned the most of all the chief executives at state-owned companies in Norway. PHOTO: Hydro
Newspaper Aftenposten, citing a ministerial report about the state's ownership interests in Norwegian companies, reported that Brandtzæg earned a total of NOK 18.18 million in 2015 (USD 2.2 million at current exchange rates). His base salary was NOK 6.2 million, but Hydro did well last year, not least because of Norway's weaker krone that resulted from lower oil prices. His pension benefits (NOK 7.8 million) and bonus thus left him with the highest total earnings even though Statoil CEO Eldar Sætre had a higher base salary, of NOK 7.7 million.
Sætre's total compensation at Statoil amounted to NOK 14.16 million, according to the state's figures, still almost double his base pay.
Next in line was Telenor's new CEO, Sigve Brekke, whose base pay was listed at NOK 4.25 million but who actually earned NOK 13.43 million over the course of the year. Aftenposten noted that Brekke, who took charge of the company in August, ranked especially high because he benefited from his former international role as head of Telenor's Asian operations. Norwegian executives in general have lower pay scales than executives abroad, because Norwegian policy long has strived to narrow the pay gap between bosses and salaried workers in the country.
The chief executive of Norway's largest bank DNB, in which the state has a 34 percent stake as it does in Hydro, earned NOK 12.89 million. Of that, CEO Rune Bjerke's base salary was NOK 6.62 million.
The new CEO of fertilizer firm Yara, Svein Tore Holsether, earned NOK 10.16 million, of which NOK 1.86 million was base salary. Holsether didn't take over at Yara until last fall. The CEO of Kongsberg Gruppen was listed with a base salary of NOK 4.05 million and total earnings of NOK 7.93 million.
All six of these companies have been or are caught up in corruption charges, with Trade Minister Monica Mæland calling their CEOs in for serious chats in recent months and set to host a major meeting on business ethics next week. While Brekke and Holsether, as new CEOs, are able to distance themselves from deals that were struck before they assumed responsibility, Sætre has faced questions over Statoil's operations in Angola, Bjerke has been under pressure over DNB's operations in tax havens that were revealed during the Panama Papers exposé and Norsk Hydro has had to answer questions over its involvement in Tajikistan and Kongsberg over its Romanian business.
The other two companies on the state's list presented by Aftenposten include SAS, since the Norwegian state still has a stake in the airline along with the governments of Sweden and Denmark, and Entra, the state's real estate company. SAS' CEO earned the equivalent of NOK 10.29 million, of which NOK 7.7 million was base pay, the same as Statoil's boss. Entra's chief executive had the lowest base pay of NOK 2.62 million, but that swelled to NOK 4.35 million after pension costs and other benefits were included.

Zero-Cost Strategy - Explained
What is a Zero-Cost Strategy?
Updated at April 7th, 2022
What is a Zero-Cost Strategy?How does a Zero-Cost Strategy Work? Zero-Cost Strategy ExamplesZero-Cost Strategy and Options Trading
A zero-cost strategy is a business or trading decision that does not incur any expense. A zero-cost strategy costs an individual or business nothing while simultaneously improving operations, making processes more effective, or serving to mitigate future expenses. As a practice, a zero-cost strategy might be applied to several contexts to enhance an assets performance.
Back to: STRATEGY & PLANNING
How does a Zero-Cost Strategy Work?
Zero-cost trading strategies can be utilized with various investment and asset types, including options, commodities, and equities. Zero cost strategies also might involve simultaneously buying and selling an asset such that both costs cancel each other out. In investing, a zero-cost portfolio might see an investor create a strategy based on going long stocks which are expected to rise in value and short stocks which are expected to drop in value (long/short strategy). For instance, an investor might decide to borrow $1 of Facebook stock and then sell the $1 stake in Facebook, then go on to reinvest the money into twitter. After a year, supposing the trade played out as expected, the investor sells Twitter in order to buy back and then return the Facebook stock they borrowed. This zero-cost strategys return is the return on twitter minus the return on Facebook (note: this example leaves out margin requirements).
Zero-Cost Strategy Examples
A company seeking to increase its efficiency and simultaneously reducing costs might decide to purchase a new network server to replace some older ones. Due to technological advancement, the older servers are resold and the amount generated from its sale pays for the new server, which is more effective, faster, and would reduce costs moving forward as a result of energy costs and lower maintenance. A practical application of a zero-cost business strategy for an individual may be to enhance sales prospects for a house by decluttering every room, packing excess belongings into boxes, and then moving those boxes into the garage. Because the labor is free, there is no cost incurred.
Zero-Cost Strategy and Options Trading
The zero-cost cylinder is one instance of a zero-cost trading strategy. In this strategy of options trading, the investor works with two out-of-the-money options, either placing a buy call and sell put or buy put and sell call. The strike price is chosen in order for the premiums from buying and selling effectively cancel out each other. Zero-cost strategies help mitigate risk by removing upfront costs. Another instance of a zero-cost strategy in options trading includes opening several options trades simultaneously for which the premiums from the net credit trades offset the net debit trade premiums. With a strategy such as this, the performance of the assets determines the profits as against transaction costs.
