Thank you for making contact this year and if I'm honest with you, I haven't been able to see everyone this year and for those of you I haven't seen yet.....I apologise.
So changes for next year? Yes...it's going to get even busier...and happily by choice.
As they say in all the best stories, crazy but true but......with others joining me.
Without others I don't think I'd make it through 2018, or any other year after that come to think of it.
As in 2017, two hats, one head.....mine!
All the internal work under www.lyonsflooring-uk.com and the external work under www.newport-landscaping.co.uk. It's worked up to now but maybe one collective title to reach all my customers, I don't know, I'll have to think on that one!
The work remains the same though and everything within tile and stone fitted, repaired or restored albeit having to move more towards the 'larger' work next year.
The landscaping is part of my background and started serving my time as a bricklayer from 1972, has given me 45 years in the business.
At 62 I'm overdue for retirement but won't be giving up until I really, really...really have to, which won't be anytime soon.
There as so many products out there for homes both inside and out that if you can still find me on the net, then I'll be ready to install, fit, or build, in one form or another, albeit with the help of others.
I'm not going to cover more miles to achieve this increase or outperform Lewis Hamilton up and down the M4 (if he drove a transit van like mine that is!) but welcome others to the business and perhaps grow in work type to meet the demands of you the customer.
So what's new for 2018?
Well, this year I've seen an increase in the desire for quality products such as mosaics, having tiled the ceiling of a sauna, also 'huge' tiles for floors, easy enough.....but also for walls....."because the man in the shop said it would be ok"!
I'm going to kill that man in the shop!!!
In contrast 'Lite stone' is a stone veneer that has endless possibilities for application and at only 3mm thick takes the place of tiles and stone in every setting. It can be sealed like stone and used in bathrooms, showers, accent walls and even floors. Great for a feature wall.
Paving is booming for all your patios with porcelain tiles making an impact and the quality is superb. Alternative finishes that don't cost an arm and a leg.
Restoration of all the Victorian, Travertine and Marble floors as well as rejuvenating any surfaces outside. A lot of the products are from traditional backgrounds and recommended by our stonemasons and suppliers from around the UK.
Brother Terry is joining us with his expertise in stonework and pizza ovens, a great combination for the Landscaping.
Brick slips which are extremely thin and can be fixed to any surface, are now making an impact both indoors and outdoors and will be part of the arsenal to transform log cabins and summer houses, changing them from timber to brick within a couple of days.
Totally weatherproof and insulated drastically changing the appearance of any feature walls in your lounge, kitchen, bathroom etc or if you really want, we'll totally transform a rendered house to a beautiful brick finish in no time at all.
It's all on the website and by signing up to the newsletter you'll have all the information sent to you with any offers as they're brought on the market.
Anyway it's time for me to get back to work but if I can help you in any way please call me and if I'm not answering, (because I'm knee deep in building stuff) just text or email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
For now have a great 'Christmas and Happy New Year' and I look forward to seeing you at some time soon or at least before I retire ;-).

A last-minute amendment to lessen criminal penalties on the use of encryption could see the SAFE Act through a crucial vote tomorrow.
A last-minute amendment to lessen penalties on the use of encryption in a crime could push the SAFE Act through a House Judiciary Committee vote tomorrow.
Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Massachusetts) will introduce the amendment to Rep. Bob Goodlatte's (R-Virginia) bill, which relaxes encryption export rules. The amendment aims to scrap a condition that would make the use of encryption "in furtherance of a crime" punishable by up to five years in prison.
A coalition of privacy and commercial interests had threatened to pull their endorsement of SAFE if Goodlatte didn't throw out the criminal portion altogether. Delahunt's amendment, conceived by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, may strike an accepted balance.
The amendment states that the punishable crime must be a felony. Further, the perpetrator must "knowingly and willfully encrypt incriminating information relating to that felony with the intent to conceal such information for the purpose of avoiding detection by law enforcement agencies or prosecution."
"None of us are happy about any criminal provision, but this is an improvement," David Sobel, staff counsel to EPIC, said today. "The existing language is very broad and could cover even 'unknowing' uses of encryption."
Goodlate is rumored to have already endorsed the amendment, which his cosponsor Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-California) helped Delahunt draft.
If SAFE doesn't pass, Lofgren maintains, billions of dollars will be lost by U.S. software companies unable to compete with less-regulated foreign manufacturers. "If we do not change our encryption policy, American companies will be left behind," she said in a statement.
The White House opposes the SAFE Act and Senate legislation known as the Pro-Code bill, which would also overturn federal limits on the strong export encryption.
The bills would eliminate the Clinton administration's requirement to build so-called key-recovery systems, which let law enforcement officials with court orders unscramble encrypted communications. Federal agencies say they need this ability because criminals can use encrypted data to help them commit crimes.
"This [amendment]is a surgical solution to the problem that law enforcement keeps raising. We believe that enactment of this provision should finally put to rest the law enforcement arguments on encryption and will underscore the fact that key escrow or 'recovery' is unnecessary," Sobel said.
But the administration is not expected to drop its campaign to get keys to private data in and out of the United States.
The White House floated a bill in March that would create a voluntary "key management infrastructure" for domestic encryption. The bill has yet be sponsored, but an outline of a new bill by Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Nebraska) appears similar.

The 1985 Shell Azodrin Bugbusters season was the first season of the franchise in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

New team
Pilipinas Shell Corporation bought out the lock, stock and barrel of the famed Crispa Redmanizers, the winningest ballclub which disbanded as the league enters its 11th season. The newest member to be known as Shell Chemicals or Shell Azodrin retained only four Redmanizers namely Philip Cezar, Bernie Fabiosa, Arturo Cristobal and Willie Pearson. They were able to acquire three-time MVP William Adornado from Great Taste when they traded the 1984 Rookie of the year Willie Pearson in exchange.

Shell got six rookies who were amateur standouts, three of them were former PABL MVPs, 6-5 center Sonny Cabatu, the two-time PABL MVP and the pro league's number one overall pick in the first-ever rookie draft, 1983 PABL Founders Cup MVP Manuel Luis Marquez, a 1984 youth campaigner, and 1984 PABL Ambassador's Cup MVP Leo Austria, a 1982 RP Youth stalwart. Their other three top-rated rookies were Romeo Ang, Aldo Perez and Menardo Jubinal.

Former Yco amateur team coach Freddie Webb, who last coached the Tanduay team in 1983 and who wound up as Vintage panelist in the previous year was Shell's choice to call the shots for the Bugbusters, which got their monicker through the megahit film Ghostbusters. Shell opened their first conference campaign with Kevin Graham as its import, they lost their first two games and Graham was replaced by the returning, former N-Rich and SMB import Rich Adams.

Finals stint
The Shell Bugbusters played in the PBA finals in only their second participated tournament during the All-Filipino Conference. They lost to defending champion Great Taste Coffee Makers in four games of the best-of-five title playoffs.

Awards
Bogs Adornado made it to the Mythical five selection as he finish second to eventual MVP winner Ricardo Brown of Great Taste in the race for the Most Valuable Player trophy.
Leo Austria won the season's Rookie of the year honors.

Notable dates
August 11: Shell outscored Ginebra in the final period to pull away with an 89-76 victory in a playoff for the right to meet Great Taste Coffee Makers for the All-Filipino championship.

September 19: Bogs Adornado scored 41 points and import Howard "Hi-C" Carter tossed in 40 points for a combined 81-point output as Shell beats Northern, 106-104, for their first win in the Third Conference after three straight losses. Carter played his last game and was gonna be replaced by Lester Rowe.

Lloyd's, formal name Society of Lloyd's, byname Lloyd's of London, international insurance marketing association in London, known for insuring unusual items and distinguished by its affluent members (individuals, partnerships, and corporate groups) who underwrite and accept insurance for their own account and risk. The corporation—which provides generally high-risk, specialized marine, automobile, aviation, and nonmarine insurance services—sets strict financial rules and other regulations but does not itself assume liability.
Lloyd's history can be traced to 1688, when Edward Lloyd kept a coffeehouse on Tower Street (or, from 1692, on Lombard Street). There merchants, bankers, and seafarers assembled to transact business informally. It also became a popular meeting place for underwriters—those who would accept insurance on ships for the payment of a premium. In 1696, for a short period, Edward Lloyd published Lloyd's News, providing news of shipping movements and other matters of interest; this was the forerunner of Lloyd's List, first published in 1734.
Gradually, the underwriters at Lloyd's formed an association, and in 1774 they moved their operations to the royal exchange. In 1928 Lloyd's moved to Leadenhall Street, and in 1957 the association moved to a new building on Lime Street. In 1986 Lloyd's moved to a new building adjoining Leadenhall Market; the new Lloyd's building was a dramatic structure with a soaring interior atrium.
In 1871 control over the affairs of the association by its committee was consolidated by an act of incorporation (Lloyd's Act, 1871), which gave it the power to make its own bylaws, to acquire real and personal property, and to perform all acts in its corporate name. By the act of 1871 the association was restricted to marine insurance, but by an act of 1911 it was empowered to carry on insurance of every description. Following a series of financial scandals in the late 1970s and early '80s, Parliament passed a new constitution (Lloyd's Act, 1982) to replace the original act. To avoid conflicts of interest, the newer act regulated the amount of interest that a broker could have in an underwriter. It also established a formal governing body to write and amend bylaws and to set up a disciplinary committee and an internal appeals court.
The members are formed into many different syndicates, each comprising from a few to several hundred members. These syndicates are represented at Lloyd's by underwriting agents, who accept insurance business on behalf of syndicate members. The syndicate system, which was developed to handle the greatly increased insured values of the 20th century, created a means of spreading an insurance risk over a number of individuals. When a claim is made, each underwriter is responsible only for his portion. Syndicate members who did not underwrite personally became known as "names." Traditionally, names had unlimited personal liability for the business transacted for them by their underwriting agents. This policy was modified after thousands of names were bankrupted by record losses in the late 1980s and early '90s (many of which stemmed from pollution and asbestos claims). From 1993, personal losses were limited to 80 percent of a name's total permitted annual premium income over a period of four years. Losses exceeding the limit would be paid from a pool funded by an annual levy on all names. In the same year, Lloyd's voted to allow corporate and institutional investors to participate in its underwriting business for the first time. Eventually, the number of names dropped from more than 30,000 to fewer than 10,000.
In 1998 the Financial Services Authority, a nongovernmental financial regulator in the United Kingdom, initiated oversight of Lloyd's. Serious liabilities for the names persisted, however, prompting a $7 billion bailout plan arranged in 2006 by the American holding company Berkshire Hathaway.

AMD reveals Zen-based EHP chip details
Tags: #apu #gpu #heterogeneous #high-performance-computin #high-performance-computing #hpc #hsa #supercomputer #zen
Companies: #amd
AMD has revealed more details of its upcoming Zen-based supercomputer-centric processor, in a paper published with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Designed to turn around the struggling company's finances, news of AMD's next-generation 32-thread Zen accelerated processing unit (APU) leaked back in April. Promising 16 physical processing cores and support for 32 threads, the chips were claimed to be designed with high-performance computing (HPC) in mind with features like a 32MB shared L3 cache with Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA) coherency, cryptographic co-processor, and Greenland embedded graphics with up to 16GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) running at 512GB/s.
The launch plan was confirmed in March when AMD revealed a roadmap which suggested the part would have a whopping 200-300W thermal design profile (TDP), and now a paper entitled Achieving Exascale Capabilities through Heterogeneous Computing published in the IEEE Micro journal has offered a few more details.
Spotted by Bits and Chips the paper confirms that the upcoming chip will be an APU in all but name, featuring a rebrand to Exascale Heterogeneous Processor (EHP) in order to appeal to the HPC crowd and distance itself from the mainstream APU parts which offer middling performance at best. A block diagram of 'an example exascale heterogeneous processor' included with the paper demonstrates the layout, confirming that the APU chip will be positioned on a silicon interposer with a large quantity of HBM2 DRAM and a connection to multiple modules of off-package non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
AMd's vision, the paper explains, is to pack as many of these EHP modules as possible into a data centre: the diagram shows racks filled with computing nodes powered by the EHP part, with the network comprising of multiple cabinets in the usual cluster-style arrangement of high-performance computing systems.
'Exascale computing requires very high levels of performance capabilities while staying within very stringent power budgets. Hardware optimised for specific functions is much more energy efficient than implementing those functions with general purpose cores,' the abstract of AMD's paper explains. 'However, there is a strong desire for supercomputer customers to not have to pay for custom components designed only for high-end HPC systems, and therefore high-volume GPU technology becomes a natural choice for energy-efficient data-parallel computing. To fully realise the capabilities of the GPU, we envision exascale compute nodes comprised of integrated CPUs and GPUs (i.e., accelerated processing units or APUs) along with the hardware and software support to enable scientists to effectively run their scientific experiments on an exascale system.'
The EHP is expected to launch some time next year, for selected customers with deep pockets only.

A Farewell To 'Matanglawin,' 'Failon Ngayon,' and More Shows of ABS-CBN's Current Affairs Division
The department in charge of ABS-CBN's documentaries and other educational shows has been axed following Congress' vote to deny the network of its franchise
Renee Nuevo
"Itong mga nakalipas na araw ay parang walang katapusan," wrote Chiara Zambrano, a news correspondent who's been a part of ABS-CBN for years and whose visage and voice have been a familiar balm to many people tuning into the news at the end of a long day.
On Saturday, July 18, the day after thousands of ABS-CBN employees and several departments received the devastating news that they would be laid off or no longer be in business, Chiara took to Facebook to mourn the loss of the Current Affairs division.
For years, that division had been in-charge of documentaries and other educational shows that aired on ABS-CBN. These included Matanglawin, Failon Ngayon, My Puhunan, Umagang Kay Ganda, S.O.C.O., Rated K, and more.
"Patay na po ang Current Affairs ng ABS-CBN," Chiara wrote. "Ang buong department na gumagawa ng mga dokumentaryo, weekly magazine show, educational programming, payong medikal."
"Sila ang gumagawa ng mga mahahalagang istorya ng mga ordinaryong tao, kwento mo at kwento ko, yung hindi ibinabalita sa news, pero importanteng mapakinggan ng lahat."
"Wala na sila. Wala na silang lahat."
But ABS-CBN's Current Affairs division wasn't the only department devastated by the company-wide retrenchment—the list is long, going all the way from all of TV Patrol's regional stations to FM radio station MOR 101.9; ABS-CBN Sports to majority of the Creative Communication Management division. These are but some of the named casualties following Congress' 70–11 vote to deny the network of its franchise.
"Di mo pa rin makita 'yung chilling effect?" Chiara asked.
"Killing effect. There," she said. Fixed it for you."
Below, a farewell to the shows of the Current Affairs division—shows that many of us had grown up with, spent our days regularly with, and were used to seeing on our television every morning and every weekend.
The shows of ABS-CBN's Current Affairs division

The Friday Five: 5 Improvements Both NBA Live 19 & NBA 2K19 Need
Andrew April 20, 2018	Features, NBA 2K19, NBA Live 19, The Friday Five 2 Comments
Welcome to this week's edition of The Friday Five! The Friday Five is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that's related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games, as well as the real NBA, and other areas of interest to our community. The feature is presented as either a list of five items, or in the form of a Top 5 countdown. This week's Five is a list of five improvements that are needed in both NBA Live 19 and NBA 2K19.
The NBA Live 19 and NBA 2K19 Wishlists that we've submitted, in my opinion, comprehensively cover the most important suggestions for fixes, enhancements, and additions for both games. Each game has its own list of improvements that we're hoping to see added in the next release; for NBA Live 19, I would suggest that it comes down to further polish to gameplay and more depth to modes. NBA 2K19, on the other hand, needs a slight course correction after some missteps in NBA 2K18. With that being said, while the games have their own issues, there are currently some that are common to both series, and areas in which they can both improve.
Please note that I'm not suggesting that these are necessarily the most important issues that must be addressed in both NBA Live 19 and NBA 2K19. As I said, our Wishlists demonstrate that both games have a long laundry list of things that can be added or enhanced, and several are specific to one series or the other. Indeed, I've already discussed some of the specific things that NBA Live 19 and NBA 2K19 need to have in previous Friday Five columns. These are just areas where both games have some common problems and room for improvements, though the respective solutions may differ slightly. With that being said, let's get to the first item on the list.

March Modness: 1995/1996 Mod for NBA Live 2004 v3.0 Released
Andrew March 20, 2018	March Modness, NBA Live 2004 Leave a comment
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to March Modness so far! I've been working on a few more things myself, and to that end, have put the finishing touches on v3.0 of my 1995/1996 Season Mod for NBA Live 2004. Key features of the new release are as follows:
Final 1996 Season Rosters
Updated Logos
Updated Jerseys
Updated Courts & Stadiums
Over 100 New Player Faces
Fixed Bodytypes
Some Birth Years Updated for Dynasty Mode
A big thanks to Murat and pksts for the new logos, faces, jerseys, and courts that can be found in v3.0! Thanks to their contributions, this release is the most complete version of the 1996 Season Mod for NBA Live 2004 so far. I may make some further adjustments here and there at some point, but the mod is now more or less how I envisioned it all those years ago.
Download the 1996 Season Mod here! You can also find the support topic for all of my NBA Live 2004 releases here in the Forum. If any bugs are discovered with v3.0, I'll try to get a hotfix out as soon as I possibly can. If I do get around to doing anything else with the mod as far as further additions or enhancements, I'll include them in a potential v4.0 release. For now, I hope you enjoy a new release for an old favourite!

Monday Tip-Off: Modding Projects I'm Working On
Andrew February 26, 2018	Features, Modding, Monday Tip-Off 4 Comments
We're at midcourt, and the ball is about to go up…it's Monday Tip-Off! Start your week here at the NLSC with a feature that's dedicated to opinions, commentary, and other fun stuff related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games. This week, I'm tipping things off with a few previews of modding projects that I'm working on, as well as a few ideas I'm toying with.
I'm a bit under the weather today, and seeing as how I wasn't able to prepare anything for this week's Monday Tip-Off ahead of time, I don't have a full column or a video feature for you. However, I thought that I'd follow up on something that I mentioned in Episode #238 of the NLSC Podcast, regarding next month and modding. I don't want to reveal everything just yet as I'm still getting everything sorted, but I'd like to make March a celebration of modding in our community. I'm hoping to release some new work of my own, and get all of our active modders in on the act.
With any luck, that will all be tipping off in just a few days when March is upon us, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some previews of what I've been working on here and there, as well as a few ideas that I'd love to see come to fruition, if and when I can make time to work on them. With that in mind, I am a little hesitant to share some of these images as I'd rather not announce anything that I'm not going to be able to get finished, so please keep in mind that those ideas aren't set in stone. I do have a couple of projects that are progressing quite nicely though, so without any further ado, here are a few things that I'm working on right now.
Andrew February 18, 2018	NBA, NBA 2K18, NBA Live 18, NLSC Podcast 2 Comments
Episode #237 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Join guest host The X and myself as we discuss the All-Star updates for NBA Live 18, the latest controversies involving NBA 2K18, and the first two days of the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend.
Since it's The X's first time on the NLSC Podcast, we talk a little about his history with basketball video games, as well as his tenure in the community.
NBA Live 18 has received some new updates, specifically accurate All-Star jerseys and trade deadline rosters. We're glad to see the updates coming through a little more quickly.
New All-Star Fantasy Challenges have also been added to NBA Live 18 Ultimate Team. We're liking the latest content, though there's more we'd like to see added to the mode.
An Australian-exclusive Virtual Currency sale has accidentally been advertised worldwide, leading to some unhappy US gamers who weren't aware of the restrictions on the promotion. 2K's response to the issue left something to be desired.
In honour of the All-Star Weekend, NBA 2K18 offered Double Rep in MyCAREER and the connected modes, but the length of the event, not to mention the timing, could've been better.
Our Week in Basketball Gaming consisted of a couple of 2K Pro-Am sessions in NBA 2K18 that yielded mixed results, and Fantasy Challenges in NBA Live 18 Ultimate Team.
We wrap up Episode #237 of the NLSC Podcast with a recap of the first two days of the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend. We have our gripes, but at the end of the day, we can certainly agree that it is what it is!
A comprehensive 2018 season update for NBA Live 2004 is shaping up, thanks to the efforts of Murat and Roseblade13. Check out their latest releases at the links below!

NBA Live 18 Patch 1.11: All-Star & Trade Deadline Content
Andrew February 14, 2018	NBA Live 18 4 Comments
Patch 1.11 has been released for NBA Live 18. The update will come through automatically as long as your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One is connected to the Internet. If you encounter any difficulties, try restarting your console.
The patch includes rosters updated as of the trade deadline, as well as the 2018 All-Star jerseys and court. As with the All-Star art updates for NBA 2K18, all of the players are wearing unique jerseys with their respective team logos, as the members of Team LeBron and Team Stephen will be doing in this year's All-Star Game. The teams will still be referred to as the East and West All-Stars, to avoid inaccuracies in Franchise mode. All-Star content has also been added to NBA Live 18 Ultimate Team.
Several gameplay tweaks have also been made in Patch 1.11. Inside shots have been tuned for a lower success rate on contested attempts, anklebreakers have been adjusted, and various changes have been made to Playstyles and Traits. New faces have also come through for several players, including LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Lonzo Ball. All in all, it's quite a substantial update.
Please see below for the full patch notes; you can also find a complete update history here in our Wiki. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments below, as well as in this topic in the NBA Live 18 section of the NLSC Forum.

Episode #236 of the NLSC Podcast is out now! Join Arcane and I as we discuss this week's updates for NBA Live 18 and NBA 2K18, wonder about the future direction of the NBA 2K series, react to the trade deadline deals, and preview the 2018 All-Star Weekend.
Fortunately, EA Sports corrected the issue with last week's roster update for NBA Live 18 fairly quickly, pushing through a new roster without duplicate players. NBA 2K18's rosters, meanwhile, have already been updated as of the trade deadline.
Patch 1.10 has been released for NBA 2K18, but it's another fix centred around the NBA 2K League Combine, with no updates that affect a majority of users.
We discuss the future direction of the NBA 2K series, from the modes of focus to the intrusiveness of microtransactions. Will the success of NBA 2K18 lead the series down a bad path?
Our Week in Basketball Gaming included a return to MyCAREER, missed opportunities in Ultimate Team, and another session of 2K Pro-Am.
We wrap up Episode #236 of the NLSC Podcast with a look at the real NBA, including a devastating injury for Kristaps Porzingas, the trade deadline, and predictions for the 2018 All-Star Weekend.

If you know anything about the development of websites, then you've probably come across the term "framework" at least once or twice before. There are some really popular ones out there, including Bootstrap, Flask and Rails.
Many web designers build websites using frameworks simply because it makes the job easier and more enjoyable.
The aim of a framework is to allow web designers to focus on developing the unique features for their website instead of having to code common features that are typically found in many websites and web applications.
A framework is essentially a pre-built template that deals with the majority of the repetitive features of a website, and usually doesn't have a user interface. Most of the activity is done by writing code and incorporating it with various parts of the framework.
Here are some reasons why using a framework during the development of a website is a good idea.
1. Open Source – The majority of frameworks are open-source, and tend to come with unrestrictive licensing that lets you build commercial products.
2. Support – Frameworks will usually have really good support, or at the very least, good documentation. Of course, support that is paid for will typically be better quality, but nonetheless, the free kind is also good to have.
3. Efficiency – Probably the most beneficial aspect of a framework is its efficiency. You don't have to get stuck wasting time and effort writing all sorts of repetitive code that is typically used in all sorts of applications. On average, you can expect to develop a website in a lot less time than would if you had to write code without a framework.
4. Security – A framework is usually tested by a variety of web designers and developers, so it's likely that many security risks will be tested for. And if there are, they can be quickly rectified.
5. Integration – You'll probably need a database if you plan on storing data when building any type of application. Many frameworks make it simple to link many tools to web development and communicate among each tool.
When Should You Consider Using a Framework?
There are 2 basic reasons to use a framework. First of all, it boosts the level of personalization that your website needs. Sometimes the 'plugins' available for your CMS don't quite fit the layout and interaction that you'd like. Therefore you should consider getting a custom development done for your website that's possible by using a framework.
The second reason you should use a framework is if you have a team of developers or web designers doing the work for you. By having a common framework in place, there is no confusion among the developers about the coding within it.
Using a framework can definitely prove to be useful when developing a website. But as always, having a professional web designer do the legwork for you is always most helpful.

Great night of boxing
Amir Khan v Marcos Maidan. Photograph: Ethan Miller/Getty Images
Last night was a tremendous night of boxing on HBO and Showtime.
Joseph Agbeko-Yonnhy Perez. Photo Credit: ESPN
Showtime's line-up included the first two fights in their bantamweight tournament. Beginning with the Abner Mares late round victory over Vic Darchinyan and Joseph Abeko's stunning victory over Yonnhy Perez in a bout that everyone assumed would lead to a repeat of Perez's victory last year.
Over on HBO, the undercard fight between Victor Ortiz and Lamont Peterson was scored a draw.
The fight of the night, however, belonged to Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana.
For those who didn't see the Khan-Maidana fight, it fight is worth caching when HBO replays it or when they offer it "on demand." To my mind, Khan looked great through the first 9 rounds. What he's got to work on though, is how to handle getting backed up into the ropes. He took a lot of punishment from Maidana from stiff upper cuts that really hurt him in the 10th, 11th and 12th. Still and all, Khan proved himself to be a warrior and pulled out a tremendous victory to retain his WBA light-welterweight title.
For a great piece on the Khan-Maidana fight check out the article in the UK Guardian. The link to the article is here.
One other fight last night was Girlboxing's friend Jill Morley's victory in the Costa Mesa Master's Tournament. Jill is finishing up her film "Girl in the Ring" (previously known as "Fighting It") and true to her subject is "fighting it" in the ring!

After eight years of playing the Marvel superhero, the actor announced Thursday that he'd performed his last scene. It certainly sounds like a goodbye to Evans' iconic role as Steve Rogers/Captain America, and while we don't know the ultimate fate of the character, the biggest theory among fans is that Cap might actually die in next year's highly-anticipated follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War .

Capcom is hoping to appeal to not only video game players but action movie fans with a film that is true to the games. Capcom's iconic character will be starring in a live-action Hollywood film for the first time ever. Wily (and his robotic minions) will most likely be involved. It's been an important week for the Blue Bomber. Monster Hunter is now being produced by Sony, with Hellboy's Ron Perlman and Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich in the title roles.

Knight was convicted of armed robbery and assault with a gun during his time with the label, which is widely seen as having contributed to its decline. His face did not betray any emotion even when Carter's family members addressed the court with descriptions of Carter's kind and loving nature. Knight and Cle "Bone" Sloan , a consultant on the N.W.A biopic " Straight Outta Compton ", were involved in a fistfight that ended up with Knight hitting Mr Sloan with his pickup truck.

Venom is a grittier, more violent and more complicated character than his Marvel brethren. So unless Venom is set before both movies, or in another dimension, then it can't be in the MCU. They just opted for a comedic tone, allowing Tom Hardy to improvise wacky scenes like Eddie jumping into a tank of lobsters . Nasim Kuenzel of the Cameo said Hardy is expected to do a question and answer session.

LMU physicist Alexander Högele studies ultrathin semiconducting films and carbon nanotubes, which possess astonishing physical properties. He has now received the second highly endowed European Research Council grant in his career.
Exploring new physics is sometimes a simple matter. One can apply a piece of sticky tape to the tip of a pencil, peel it away and with luck an atomically thin sheet made up of a single-layered, two-dimensional lattice of pure carbon will stick to the tape. This is graphene – transparent, ultralight, and extremely tough. A square meter of this marvelous material weighs less than a milligram, and a cat could use the sheet as a hammock without the risk of falling through it. The trick first occurred to Russian physicist Andre Geim. Together with Konstantin Novoselov, he went on to win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010 for the isolation and characterization of the properties of graphene.
"It's amazing how much interesting physics one can do with simple tools and a little curiosity. That was a characteristic of the Soviet school of physics," says nanophysicist Alexander Högele, who himself grew up in the Soviet Union, and admires this unassuming approach to innovative materials. His own work focuses on the search for nanomaterials with unusual optical properties, principally with a view to applications in photonics and quantum technologies. In a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), he and his research group successfully developed ways of fabricating carbon nanotubes made of graphene that exhibit specific and potentially useful optical characteristics.
Visitors to his office at the Faculty of Physics enter a world of quantum effects and highly unusual materials, of 'pseudospins' and 'potential wells'. Högele's goal is to fabricate materials that emit light quanta ('photons') with a specific energy (wavelength) and can be used in photonic applications and perhaps as the basis for quantum communication. "We study functional materials at the atomic scale," he says –nanotubes made of single layers of atoms, and ultrathin 2D semiconductors.
Accounts of the goings-on in the nanoworld often make it sound like a totally unfamiliar cosmos. Researchers who probe the properties of materials like graphene work at the frontiers of physics and encounter effects and phenomena that lie beyond the sphere of classical physics. But it's not always necessary to use high-tech methods to discover new aspects of this unfamiliar world, Högele says.
For some time, his group has been working with carbon nanotubes, characterizing their properties and behavior at temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C). Nanotubes are optically active, and the wavelength of the light they emit when excited with a laser depends on their diameter. Moreover, the intensity of the light emitted at these very low temperatures is quantized. This meant that they could, in principle, be exploited for the secure transmission of information via optic-fiber cables, as any attempt to eavesdrop on the message would alter the state of the photons and could be detected. The crucial question was whether the system could be coaxed into emitting photons with a specific energy (i.e. frequency) at room temperature.
One promising approach to the problem was to adjust the emission by chemically modifying the nanotubes. The cylinders are several micrometers long and have a diameter of about 1 nanometer. Each consists of a single-layered sheet of graphene rolled up into tube form. However, it is possible to replace some of the carbon atoms that make up the regular honeycomb lattice of graphene, either with atoms of another element or with chemically reactive functional groups. And indeed, this doping strategy allows one to tune the frequency of the emitted photons. "We are now hopeful that we will be able to produce nanotubes that are tailor-made for applications in quantum technology," Högele says.
The primary goal is to create materials that can be used for secure quantum-based communication. "We have already succeeded in modifying the color of the emitted single photons so that they conform to the technical specifications of the existing optic-fiber network,"Högele says, although the signal bandwidth is still too broad. However, using technical tricks, such as optical resonators, it should be possible to improve the quality of the signal and the yield of suitable photons.
The major challenge lies in the fact that the modified nanotubes must function as single-photon sources (SPS) –they must consistently emit single photons of precisely the same optical frequency, and nothing else. If this reliability can be achieved, the route to quantum communication technologies will be open. In addition, atoms or electronic excitation states in semiconducting films, and other quantized properties such as spin states, can serve as information carriers. If ongoing research efforts succeed, we will enter an era in which technology is no longer based on the tenets of classical physics, but on the probabilistic laws of quantum mechanics. As yet, none of these visions has resulted in real devices, and even the laboratory models that have so far been tested leave a lot to be desired. But research in the field has already raised great expectations with regard to future applications of nanomaterials and quantum effects.

It's really hard to put 30 days of abstinence together. It may not be any easier to get 60 days. The world is starkly different without alcohol or drugs on board. The urge can be deafening, even when one is getting a daily message of sobriety from a treatment program.
There are different kinds of relapse. There are relapses (some would call them lapses) that are short. The person scares themselves after one or several episodes of use and then climbs quickly back onto the beam of early recovery. There are also relapses where the episode of use (re)opens the floodgates to further use and the desire for sobriety ends for the time being.
In the graphic below, the recovery process is represented as elliptical. With each successive effort at recovery, the relapse hopefully gets less frequent and is shorter in duration.
Recovery is a process. It's not like an ON-OFF switch.
Learning Module 6, available to our members, talks about what to do when you see use. You saw use. You suspected it and you were right. The fact that your husband used is by no means the end of things. He is on a path to recovery, and therefore can no longer claim to be naïve about his addiction or naïve about the way out. The programs he is attending are educating him and providing him skills for recovery.
It's a bumpy process. You probably felt quite a relief to see your husband get the help he so desperately needed and were shocked to find him slipping.
You don't ask him about his drinking, so just go with what your gut is telling you. This way you avoid conflict, and you avoid putting him in the position of having to defend or deny his use – which gets both of you nowhere.
The natural consequence of his drinking may be little to none, but you created one by neutrally freezing him out. He is now alone for the rest of the evening, unsure of what is up with you. There isn't the usual fight that occurs when he drinks. You're leading him onto new territory and setting the stage for a different kind of communication around his using.
It all sounds little, and it is. No explosion, no ultimatum. He drank, and as a result you withdrew. He can think about it.
Drinking after treatment is not uncommon, so don't let it destroy you. You, too, need to get back on the beam and be strategic about how you react and perceive what has happened.
I am thrilled to hear your husband went to treatment and continues an intensive outpatient program. It takes time and he is in the right place. I am rooting for your husband and for you.
Yes, the family DOES have a role to play and your stance, behavior, and choices DO make a difference. Science has confirmed this. The Allies in Recovery program is based on this understanding. "Tough love" is not a successful technique. Our learning platform is set up to help family members learn the techniques that will reduce conflict, build that bridge of communication, and be effective in guiding your loved one into treatment. Together we will move your loved one towards recovery. Learn more here.

Fiduciaries of Humanity: How International Law Constitutes Authority, by Evan J. Criddle & Evan Fox-Decent
Wudassie Tamrat, Osgoode Hall Law School
International legal scholars have increasingly noted that there is a fundamental tension within the international legal order. On one hand, international law represents a utopian idea that advances aspirations towards grand, yet equally hollow, goals of "peace," "justice," and "human rights." We see these aspirations embodied in a number of international institutions—the United Nations Security Council strives to maintain "international peace and security" under the United Nations Charter and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights aspires to establish a "common standard" of human rights "for all peoples and all nations." The international legal system hence calls on states to work together to advance these shared interests. However, to the extent that the international legal system is able to make inroads towards these ideals, it equally is frustrated by new tensions arising from the interplay of the system's inherent and emerging qualities, such as states' pursuit of their individual interests and the increasingly fragmentized nature of decision-making processes.

Q: Change XML Element value with PowerShell I'm only finding stuff on how to change the attribute values of a XML element here on StackOverflow.
But how do we change the value of the element itself using PowerShell?
I currently have:
XML
<Task>
  <Settings>
  ...
  </Settings>
  <Actions Context="Author">
    <Exec>
      <Command>blablabla</Command>
      <Arguments>CHANGETHISVALUE</Arguments>
    </Exec>
  </Actions>
</Task>

SCRIPT
$filePathToTask = C:\Task.xml
$xml = New-Object XML
$xml.Load($filePathToTask)
$element =  $xml.SelectSingleNode("//Arguments")
$element.InnerText("newtext")
$xml.Save($filePathToTask)

However, I can't seem to use methods on the last variable. What am I doing wrong?
Edit

*

*Added code

The error that I'm getting is You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression
I think my problem lies at:
$ElementToChange =  $xml.SelectSingleNode("//Arguments")

Which stays null, but I have tried methods like .SelectNodes and playing around with the //Argumentstag but still no success

A: InnerText is a property, not a method. It's used like this:
$element.InnerText = "newtext"

Also, I suspect that your original data (unlike the XML sample you posted) uses namespaces. AFAICS that's the only possible reason why $xml.SelectSingleNode('//Arguments') would return an empty result.
 XML files exported from the Windows Task Scheduler definitely are namespaced:
<Task version="1.2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task">
  <!-- ... -->
</Task>

Namespaces are not like other node attributes and affect not only the node itself, but also its child nodes. For selecting nodes from an XML with namespaces you need a namespace manager:
$nsm = New-Object Xml.XmlNamespaceManager($xml.NameTable)
$nsm.AddNamespace('ns', $xml.DocumentElement.NamespaceURI)
$element = $xml.SelectSingleNode('//ns:Arguments', $nsm)

A: When I run:
$filePathToTask = "C:\temp\Task.xml"
$xml = New-Object XML
$xml.Load($filePathToTask)
$element =  $xml.SelectSingleNode("//Arguments")
$element.InnerText = "New Text"
$xml.Save($filePathToTask)

And re-check the output, I do see the updated value:
<Task>
  <Settings>
  </Settings>
  <Actions Context="Author">
    <Exec>
      <Command>blablabla</Command>
      <Arguments>New Text</Arguments>
    </Exec>
  </Actions>
</Task>

I enclosed the path in quotes, otherwise I was getting an error on the load line. That's good practice anyway, since the parameter for the Load method takes string filepath as input.
Then as Ansgar mentions, use the assignment operator ("=") to set the new value in memory, then dump to file.
