Masdar City's Innovate returns to Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2023 to showcase clean-tech companies
Innovate, Masdar City's global initiative to support clean-tech companies, is returning to Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week to showcase clean-tech start-ups and enterprise
The three-day exhibition kicks off on January 16. (Image source: Masdar City)
The three-day exhibition kicks off on January 16. It is supported by Masdar City's start-up accelerator programme, The Catalyst, which is providing 22 participating companies with the chance to pitch directly to an investment committee and win up to US$200,000 in funding.
Ahmed Baghoum, the acting CEO of Masdar City, said, "Since its launch in 2021, Innovate has helped dozens of companies kick off major projects in the region. The magic of seeing start-ups focus on emerging technologies to help the fight against climate change has inspired us to return this year with an even more ambitious exhibition. With The Catalyst on board, start-ups will have the chance to benefit from an accelerator specifically tailored to their needs and industries."
Steve Severance, Masdar City's director of growth, said, "Pairing The Catalyst with Innovate opens the door for aspiring businesses to gain our support and funding in the most efficient way possible. At Innovate, companies will be able to pitch their projects straight to our senior directors, and if they succeed, they will win our unwavering support. There are many benefits to joining The Catalyst beyond the funding opportunity. We also help member companies gain access to the Masdar City Free Zone and Abu Dhabi's technology ecosystem."
In its first edition, Innovate provided support and exposure to 20 emerging companies, some of which decided to return this year. FortyGuard, which provides solutions for optimising energy resources, was one of them. The start-up, which launched in 2020, landed Masdar City as their first client through Innovate 2022, and several other deals followed.
"Masdar City is a regional ecosystem enabler. Taking part in their Innovate program opened a big door for us," said Jay Sadiq, the FortyGuard founder and chief visionary officer. "Being in direct contact with major energy officials and decision-makers was the highlight of the event for us. We did not have to search for potential clients and supporters; they came to find us. Today, we serve 12 major clients who were a result of our initial deal with Masdar City."
Innovate will feature an agri-tech showcase by DANA Venture Builder, an Abu-Dhabi-based venture builder and investment platform for women-led startups in desert tech, including agri-tech, water solutions, food security, waste management, and renewable energy through regional collaboration, innovation mentorship, impact community, and funding.
Another Innovate showcase, presented by The Catalyst, is called HydroArtPod, a smart indoor home garden that features ambient lighting and looks like wall art. Founded by Aline Pate, HydroArtPod is a small, fully automated garden that allows families to grow fresh produce all year round to reduce dependency on food retailers.
In addition to the exhibition, Innovate will host a series of panels covering a wide range of topics, including women who are leading in sustainability and the circular economy.

Some people who are U.S. citizens at birth believe they are dual citizens simply because they were born in a foreign country. Some naturalized U.S. citizens believe that when they took the oath of allegiance to the U.S. it effectively renounced their former citizenship. Either situation may or may not be true, depending on the foreign country involved. Foreign citizenship laws are varied and complicated. Security clearance applicants who are uncertain about dual citizenship should research the matter before answering the citizenship question on the Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF86). Dual citizenship can be a surprisingly common issue in security clearance application procedures.
When an individual acts in such a way as to indicate a preference for a foreign country over the United States, then he or she may be prone to provide information or make decisions that are harmful to the interests of the United States.
The security concerns underlying this guideline are that the possession and use of a foreign passport in preference to a U.S. passport raises doubt as to whether the person's allegiance to the United States is paramount and it could also facilitate foreign travel unverifiable by the United States. Therefore consistent application of the guideline requires that any [DoD] clearance be denied or revoked unless the applicant surrenders the foreign passport or obtains official approval for its use from the appropriate agency of the United States Government.
Guideline C does not specifically indicate that the mere existence of dual citizenship is a potentially disqualifying condition. It uses the words "exercise" and "acts," indicating there must be conduct that demonstrates a preference for a foreign country. However, Guideline C lists mitigating conditions for dual citizenship unrelated to conduct, thereby implying that dual citizenship by itself is a potential security concern. Merely having dual citizenship will not automatically result in a security clearance denial, nor will simply renouncing foreign citizenship necessarily result in a security clearance approval. Generally people who acquired dual citizenship at birth and have done nothing to obtain recognition of the foreign citizenship will encounter little or no problem in obtaining a clearance unless there are other security issues in their case.
7. Action to acquire or obtain recognition of a foreign citizenship by an American citizen.
6. The vote in a foreign election was encouraged by the U.S. Government.
Guideline C does not contain any specific mitigating conditions similar to those in other Guidelines where potentially disqualifying conduct can be mitigated based on voluntariness, motivation, frequency, recency, and unusual circumstances. However, the "General Criteria" described in "The Adjudicative Process" paragraph of the Adjudicative Guidelines applies to the adjudication of all cases and requires that these factors be considered.
Some countries prohibit their citizens from entering or leaving their country using a foreign passport. Some make it practically impossible to renounce citizenship. Personal safety concerns while traveling in certain areas of the world sometimes makes it unwise to use a U.S. passport. The disqualifying condition involving the past "exercise of any right, privilege or obligation of foreign citizenship after becoming a U.S. citizen" may possibly be mitigated using the General Criteria, but only if the applicant expresses a willingness to renounce their foreign citizenship and surrenders their foreign passport.
Security clearance adjudications posted at the DOHA website are replete with cases where the granting or denying of a security clearance hinged on an applicant's decision to renounce foreign citizenship and surrender their foreign passport. However, because of potential counterintelligence implications, it is not advisable to contact a foreign embassy or consulate for this purpose without first obtaining guidance from the U.S. Government. In an SF86 and during a security interview, it is only necessary to express a willingness to renounce foreign citizenship. Additionally the applicant should surrender their foreign passport to the security officer processing their clearance application and include information about this action in their SF86.
Without proper mitigation dual citizenship, like other security issues, can create a presumption that a disqualifying conditions exists and result in having an interim clearance declined. Stating in the SF86 a willingness to renounce foreign citizenship and surrendering a foreign passport to the appropriate security officer can significantly mitigate security concerns. Explaining in the SF86 the reason dual citizenship exists and the reasons any potentially disqualifying conduct may have occurred will also improve an individual's chance of obtaining an interim clearance.
Being a U.S. citizen and a citizen of another country is not prohibited or disqualifying absent a showing of heightened risks related to national security. The same is true for the exercise of any right, privilege or obligation of foreign citizenship or action to acquire or obtain recognition of foreign citizenship by a U.S. citizen.
All but one of the potentially disqualifying conditions related to dual citizenship in this version of Guideline C are completely different than those listed above. There has been no indication of which version of Guideline C the Intelligence Community agencies are using. It is possible that Guideline C in ICPG 704.2 was the result of an administrative error.

David Crowley
stated on February 24, 2019 in a TV interview:
''Over 40 percent of African-American men in (Milwaukee County) have been going to prison for low-level drug offenses, and I think a hundred times that in the city of Madison."
Marijuana is a Schedule I hallucinogenic substance under the Wisconsin Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Penalties can vary, depending upon the amount or whether it is person's is a first or multiple offender. (Associated Press)
By D.L. Davis March 19, 2019
Rep. David Crowley misfires with claim on African-American men and low-level drug offenses
The issue of decriminalization of marijuana is on the front burner in many states, including Wisconsin, where Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is backing a plan that would allow residents to smoke and sell small amounts of the drug.
One of the goals of the proposal, Evers said, is to reduce the disproportionate rate at which the state's black residents are incarcerated.
"People shouldn't be treated like criminals for accessing medicine that could change or maybe even save their lives," Evers said at a Feb. 18, 2019, news conference announcing his plan.
In supporting Evers' plan, state Rep. David Crowley, D-Milwaukee, cited high incarceration rates for African-American males.
''Over 40 percent of African-American men in my county have been going to prison for low-level drug offenses, and I think a hundred times that in the city of Madison," Crowley said Feb. 24, 2019, on WKOW's "Capital City Sunday."
Is Crowley correct?
Milwaukee County incarceration
When asked for backup, Crowley's staff cited a 2013 University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee study.
The study — "Wisconsin's mass incarceration of African American males: Workforce challenges for 2013" — stated: "Forty percent of the African American males from Milwaukee County incarcerated since 1990 were drug offenders."
But that covers all drug offenses, whereas Crowley used the figure to describe "low-level drug offenses." So, Crowley is clearly off — though it is difficult to say by how much.
Molly Vidal, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections, said in an email that "There is not a Wisconsin-specific or universally common definition of 'low-level offense.'"
One point of reference is the level Evers uses for his decriminalization measure.
Under Evers' plan, which faces strong opposition in the Republican-controlled Legislature, the state's agriculture and health departments would regulate medical marijuana and users, and manufacturers and distributors of medical marijuana would not be charged with crimes if they handled up to 25 grams of the drug.
For perspective, 25 grams of marijuana could fit inside a plastic sandwich bag.
According to NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, marijuana is a Schedule I hallucinogenic substance under the Wisconsin Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
Penalties can vary, depending upon the amount or whether it is person's is a first or multiple offender.
For example, a first offense possession charge is a misdemeanor that can result in up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, while possession of any amount (subsequent offense) is a felony and can result in up to 3.5 years incarceration and a maximum fine of $10,000.
A November 2018 report on Dane County prison admissions notes "in general, only criminal felony cases result in an order for a person to be admitted to the Wisconsin State Prisons."
Madison incarcerations
As to the second part of the claim, that the rate in Madison is "a hundred times" that of Milwaukee County, Crowley aide Kyle Caudill said the lawmaker got it wrong
"The 100x comment was misspoken," Caudill said via email. "It is referring to the figure in (a) CityLab article from 2016 stating that 'in Dane County … black residents were admitted to prison for drug offenses at 97 times the rate of white residents."
The figure behind that quote is the African American drug prison admission rate is 433.76, while the white drug admission rate is 4.46. The numbers come from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
In any case, it is a massively jumbled comparison.
The study in question compares the discrepancy between black and white incarceration within Dane County. It says nothing about how the African-American incarceration rate in Milwaukee County compares to that in Dane County. (What's more, Crowley also erred in citing the city of Madison, not Dane County.)

"Historically, our spring elections (including for state Supreme Court) have a smaller turnout associated with them."

What about the gap?
So, where do things stand when it comes to the incarceration gap?
A Jan. 12, 2018, Pew Research Center article notes the gap is shrinking.
Using numbers from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, it says "a significant decline in the number of black prisoners in recent years has steadily narrowed the gap between blacks and whites in prison to the point where it is half as wide as it was in 2009, when America's prison population peaked."
The article also says:
At the end of 2016, federal and state prisons in the United States held about 486,900 inmates who were black and 439,800 who were white —a difference of 47,100, according to the BJS. In 2009, by comparison, there were 584,800 blacks and 490,000 whites — a difference of 94,800. (This analysis counts only inmates sentenced to more than a year.)
Of course, since there are many more whites than blacks in the nation, the rate is a better measuring stick. The article notes:
"In 2016, there were 1,608 black prisoners for every 100,000 black adults – more than five times the imprisonment rate for whites (274 per 100,000) and nearly double the rate for Hispanics (856 per 100,000)."
It also notes that for the all three groups, the rate has declined since 2009. For blacks it has declined the sharpest (25 percent), compared to 19 percent for Hispanics and 11 percent for whites.
A July 10, 2018, CNN report cited a number of theories about what's behind the closing gap, from tougher law enforcement in rural, mostly white areas, to the explosion of opioids and heroin, which have hit hardest in white communities.
Those reports both relate to national numbers.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin Department of Corrections data shows that the number of black offenders admitted to prison who were convicted in Milwaukee County, and whose most serious offense was a drug offense, has mostly been declining since 2009:
2009 — 510 offenders
2010 — 505
The number for 2018, the most recent year available, is about 54 percent lower than 2009.
Crowley said ''Over 40 percent of African-American men in my county have been going to prison for low-level drug offenses, and I think a hundred times that in the city of Madison."
He was off on several levels -- from incorrectly applying the Milwaukee County number to only low-level offenses, to massively jumbling the Milwaukee County-to-Madison comparison.
His own aide acknowledged Crowley "misspoke."

Mr Mwila says the move is aimed at finding a lasting solution to the matter.
And Mr Mwila has told ZNBC that the PF wants to be exemplary in the Bahati constituency parliamentary by-election.
He has since urged the UPND to ensure that its members do not resort to political violence.
And UPND Secretary General Steven Katuka said his party is calling for national dialogue aimed at finding a lasting solution to political violence.
Mr Katuka said the UPND wants an end to the violence that happened in the just- ended Sesheke by elections.
Meanwhile, PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri is disappointed that civil society organisations have remained quiet over the brutal beatings of PF youths by police in Sesheke.

Q: Partial declarations of must not specify different base classes I know there is information on this on the internet but Im having problems translating it to my situation.
I have a xaml window and im getting the error: Partial declarations of 'GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin.GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin' must not specify different base classes
.
My code behind is:
public partial class GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin : GX3ClientPlugin, IGX3PluginInterface
    {

My xaml is:
<Grid xmlns:my="clr-namespace:CustomControls;assembly=MultiComboBox"   xmlns:extToolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/toolkit/extended"   x:Class="GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin.GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

Please could someone advise :)
Here is a link to what I have found but am struggling to translate...
Partial declarations must not specify different base classes
After doing a little more research I have discovered that if I change my code behind to implement the top level element in my xaml it gets rid of the error. Thats obviously still a problem as my codebehind class needs to implement the interfaces I have designed.

A: The question you linked to contains the answer. The person who asked that question started with this (which worked):
<A x:Class="B">
public partial class B : A

And they changed it to this (which didn't work):
<A x:Class="C">
public partial class C : B

This doesn't work because, behind the scenes, a .cs file is generated based on the XAML that contains a partial class that inherits from A. To fix it, they needed to change it to this:
<B x:Class="C">
public partial class C : B

So in your case, I believe you should replace Grid, i.e. do something like this:
<namespace:GX3ClientPlugin x:Class="namespace.GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin">
public partial class GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin : GX3ClientPlugin

(I assume that GX3ClientPlugin ultimately inherits from something like Grid or UserControl?)

A: I got this error when I tried to inherit a TabItem.  The .cs looked like:
public partial class ucTabItemSelectionCriteria : TabItem

The first line of XAML looked like:
<UserControl

That was the mismatch that would show up when code was generated from the XAML.  It was fixed when I change the first 2 lines of XAML to:
    <controls:TabItem xmlns:controls=
"clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"

Now both are inherited from the TabItem control.

A: Partial class declarations mean you can specify code for the same class in 2 different files:
AOther.cs
public partial class A
{}

A.cs
public partial class A
{}

This error is telling you that the classes define different bases.
AOther.cs
public partial class A : B
{}

A.cs
public partial class A : X
{}

In the example, A can not inherit from B and X in different files. I think it's possible to specify the inheritance chain in XAML but I can't see anything doing this in your posted code.
Update
With the modifications to the question in the comment I suggest the following. Rather than looking at inheritance to make your control/window inherit from a GX3ClientPlugin you should look at composition. Essentially this means, place an instance of a GX3ClientPlugin on your form and call through to it. If need be write an interface for the GX3ClientPlugin class, make the form implement it, but for each method just call through to the instance it holds underneath. I think inheritance is the wrong way to go with this problem, as your class has 2 concerns - UI and GX3ClientPlugin logic.

A: There are going to be two (or more) parts to that partial class. If you search, you should find another class GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin, that probably specifies something like Control as the base-type. You are only looking at one part of the file. The other half probably needs to be expanded from under the xaml.
The problem is that two files are doing something like this:
(file the first)
public partial class GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin : GX3ClientPlugin, IGX3PluginInterface {}

(file the second)
public partial class GX3OpenStackupGUIPlugin : SomethingElse {...}

...Yes, Samara Lubelski knows how to make highly refined "pop" records, and her newest album, The Gilded Raid, is the best example yet of her baroque genius. Of course and completely understood, this statement may come as a surprise for those most familiar with Lubelski's more "outer" sounds, but alas, it's a wonderful thing indeed. With all of Lubelski's lovely pastoral and ethereal understandings fully in place on The Gilded Raid, the album is a most splendid beauty that celebrates the forthcoming other-worldly new age. In other words, it's nighttime music for the new time.
For The Gilded Raid, Lubelski worked with her long-time collaborators, Metabolismus, and recorded it at their studio, Sumsilobatem, located in the village of Degenfeld near Stuttgart Germany. With her well-seasoned team in place, it was inevitable that only a tuneful garden of magical blessedness would be created. Closer to being psychic than psychedelic, The Gilded Age is more than just harmonious with the current world and the next. It's the full-fledged portal we've been hoping for.

Local search optimisation in search engines such as Google and Bing is very important these days especially when people are using mobile devices when and out about to find Local Businesses and Services. Making sure your business is listed correctly for local search is important to ensure you can be found on Google maps and that your competitors are not ahead of you in local rankings.
Search engines use a number of factors to rank websites, but there are some basic local SEO tips which you can easily do to keep things moving in the right direction. Here at SEO Consultant Hampshire I have put together 5 Basic Local SEO Hampshire Tips for all Hampshire based businesses to implement.
If you run a local business in Hampshire one of the best local SEO tips you can implement is listing your business and website under Google Places. It takes about 10 minutes to process and it will give you a free listing under specific categories ensuring your business is listed correctly on Google Maps and can be found through specific local keyword searches. This is essential these days, however, it won't guarantee you first place in local searches.
Good old yellow pages! Gone are the days when yellow pages was the number one source for finding local businesses when at home. These days some people still use the yellow book, but in fact Yell.com still ranks quite highly in local search engines and they offer a free listing for businesses on the website. You can even optimise your yell.com profile with keywords and a free website link, Facebook page link and Twitter page link so this is still a must for appearing highly in local searches. Although to be featured at the top of Yell.com searches you will need to pay. When optimised correctly you will be surprised how many clicks through from Yell.com you will get for free!
Another local business directory which ranks quite well in search engines and provides another free web link is Yelp.co.uk. Not quite as good as yell.com, but still worth ten minutes of your time to build your profile and create another back link to your site.
As we all know Social Media is a big part of all our lives these days so it is important that your businesses is listed on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest as standard. Sometimes social media profiles will actually rank very highly especially if you don't yet have a website. If people are searching for your business by name they may well come across your social media profile first in search engines. All the social media profiles provide free web links and it gives you the chance to interactive with customers locally online.
This part of local SEO can go very deep and can require ongoing work. But, if you have a website and you want to rank locally for searches then ensuring your website is labelled correctly on specific pages for your area is extremely important. For example, if you are in Hampshire or in Southampton then you will need to make sure that your pages are correctly optimised for search engines to pick up your desired local keywords.
Good Luck with your 5 Basic Local SEO Hampshire Tips!


"It's a real love story," said Majesty Magazine editor Ingrid Seward, of the upcoming union of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
...or the old rhyme charting the six brides of Henry VIII.
"Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived," said author Leslie Carroll.
The romances and romps of the British monarchy helped shape English history, reports CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller.
"They just keep doing it over and over again," said Carroll.
Carroll has written four books on royal love affairs.
Rarely is it happily ever after, and Carroll agrees.
Consider the first meeting of George IV with his bride "to be" Caroline.
"She's this short dumpy thing who is a stranger to tooth powder and washing," said Carroll.
George went on a three day drinking binge that ended when he stumbled down the aisle.
"You did not marry for love -- it was a political alliance," said Carroll.
Queen Mary sobbed uncontrollably as she wed William.
"It was a very inauspicious beginning," said Carroll.
The rotten starts usually were followed by scandal. James I fell in love with the Duke of Buckingham. Edward VII's philandering was so notorious -- he was nicknamed "Edward the Caresser." And Charles II had as many as 19 illegitimate children.
The romances and romps of the British monarchy helped shape English history.
Royal paramours received millions from the nation's treasury.
"They were given jewels, and clothes, and houses, and castles, and titles," said Seward.
But it's been the monarchy's strongest marriages upon which a modern Britain was built.
Queen Victoria and her Prince Albert.
Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Now, a new couple is marrying for love -- not England.
"It's not a fairy tale, it's a proper love story, they're friends," said Seward. "Allies."
A partnership rewriting a millennium of royal marital history.

title: 'Jekyll 3.2.1 Released with Fix for Windows'
date: 2016-08-02 13:20:11 -0700
author: parkr
version: 3.2.1
categories: [release]
---

Well, 3.2.0 has been a success, but with one fatal flaw: it doesn't work on
Windows! Sorry, Windows users. Hot on the trail of 3.2.0, this release
should squash that :bug:. Sorry about that!

This release also fixes an issue when using [gem-based themes](/docs/themes/)
where the theme was rejected if it existed behind a symlink. This is a
common setup for the various ruby version managers, and for Ruby installed
via Homebrew. Props to @benbalter for fixing that up.

Thanks to the contributors for this release: Adam Petrie, Ben Balter,
Daniel Chapman, DirtyF, Gary Ewan Park, Jordon Bedwell, and Parker Moore.

As always, you can see our full changelog on [the History page](/docs/history/).

Happy Jekylling!

Hi there!Do you have 2 minutes to share your feedback about our website?


The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of feature developments, content writing, and bug fixes. Which means, ConvertKit is getting close to a private beta. If you want to get involved, keep reading.
This page currently has a 17% conversion rate. Not bad, right? The great thing about ConvertKit is that I will be continually tweaking these landing pages to get the best possible conversion rate. When you use ConvertKit you get the results of all those tests included. I call it best practices by default.
Now here is how you create your landing pages. Just fill in the content and we'll take care of the rest. There are also additional settings and reports so you can heavily customize your landing page.
That brings us to my favorite part, which is the courses. Every email marketing platform I've used poorly implements courses or auto-responders. That lack of support is big reason I haven't implemented courses as a reliable sales funnel for my books. At least until now.
First all the emails are listed down the side in a sequence, so you can see your entire series at a glance. This makes it so much easier to refer back and forth to other emails. I left out the confusing and complicated features so that it is exactly what is needed and nothing more.
The technical challenges that were keeping you from improving your sales process are now gone. All that's left is to write the content. And actually, I'll help with that too.
Throughout the ConvertKit interface are links to articles on improving subject lines, writing more effective email messages, and other best practices.
That's ConvertKit. I think you'll love it.
If you love the the idea of making your sales funnel leak-proof with ConvertKit, and if you want to be very first to use ConvertKit, you can preorder it today.
Preorder just your first 3 months and you'll get one month free. Plus, as a thank-you for your support, you'll receive a 25% discount for life. (Starting at $37 per month, forever!) Making more money and saving money? Not too shabby, right?
I will also invite the first 25 people who preorder to a 2 hour private online conference on increasing conversion rates and using email marketing effectively.
Ready? I think the beginner plan is the best way for you to lock in the discount and get you started right now.
Preorder your first four months of ConvertKit for only $112.
You can learn more about ConvertKit and all the plans on the marketing page.
Have a question? Post it in the comments.
I'm curious how is your email system set up? How do you deal with the inbox rate?
If someone sends spam with your product then your IP gets flagged as a spam IP.
I'm not entirely sure how the whole system works, but the main reason why people use popular email services is because they guarantee a high inbox rate (emails won't land to the spam folder).
Email deliverability is a hard problem, so we are using MailGun to actually send our messages. That way we can create a great tool for creating these email sequences, without having to deal with that aspect. I'll include more on this soon.
How are you liking Gumroad to handle payments? Have you ever tried Stripe?
Which do you think is a better choice to handle payments like you're doing?
I love Gumroad. But for ConvertKit I am just using them to make the preorder easy. The actual application runs on Stripe.
Ok do you think Stripe would be better for handling preorders?
Yes, in that since they would. But I didn't have to do any custom development to use Gumroad. Just plug and play. Sure, I would have saved a tiny bit in fees, but spent a lot of effort on the development.
Don't waste time to save a few bucks.

U18 - Midget Regular Season

As a general rule of thumb, you should visit your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups every sixth months. While there, they will check for cavities, signs of tooth decay or plaque and possible gum ailments. But besides your regularly scheduled appointments, what problems or emergencies require dental attention?
While this may seem obvious, you would be surprised how many people wait for weeks or months before seeing a dentist about a chipped tooth, especially if it is in the back of the mouth. Chips or breaks can vary in severity, but should always be seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Try to keep the broken piece moist, if possible, by placing it in a damp cloth, as the dentist may be able to fix the area without using any artificial fillers or replacement teeth.
Large areas of redness or swelling in your gums will usually require a dental visit. Although it could just be irritation, it is best to see if the root of your problems is gingivitis, an abscess or periodontitis. The quicker these problems are addressed, the easier, cheaper and more pain free the solution will be.
If you begin experiencing intense pain by your ear or a popping sensation when your jaw opens and closes, you may be experiencing temporomandibular joint syndrome. This occurs when your jaw becomes inflamed or starts to deteriorate, and it will need to be examined and treated by a dental professional. Depending on the severity of the pain, this might not be an emergency, but you will need a mouth guard to stop future damage.
A telltale sign that you need to see a dentist is the existence of a toothache or pain that is preventing you from eating or simply going about your daily life. Other factors to consider are whether you have a fever, swollen gums, swelling or redness. If the pain increases in severity when exposed to hot or cold, it is most likely just a cavity, but an appointment should be made within the next few days to ensure decay doesn't spread.
Although many people find dental procedures frightening or unpleasant, the quicker you see your dentist, the fewer problems you will have in the future. The best tip is not to wait. Having a family dentist will ensure you have the right treatment whenever emergency dental services are needed.
Does your child fear the dentist? Are you afraid your child may do something rash while in the dentist's office? If so, you are not alone. Sadly, dental appointments can be hard for kids, and I have seen my children suffer through that anxiety and fear, as well. I have created this blog in hopes all children can move past their fears and toward healthy smiles. I want you to have a place where you can learn how to calm your children and how to educate them on proper dental hygiene. I want your children to look forward to visiting the dentist, and with the right support, I know that will happen. Enjoy!

Suzuki Intruder price starts at Rs.To Be Announced (Ex-Showroom, Delhi). The Intruder 150 is powered by the same 154.9cc air-cooled petrol engine seen on the Gixxer 150 but in a slightly different tune. It produces 14.14PS at 8000 rpm and 14Nm at 6000rpm. The motor has a slightly different state of tune owing to a larger air intake, airbox and tuned exhaust. It is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox borrowed from the Gixxer but with a larger rear sprocket for low-end performance. It has a fuel tank of 11 litres and weighs about 148kg, 8kg more than the Gixxer. Braking is done by disc brakes fitted at both ends.

"It's definitely where we're headed. You want some resolution on that question," the 'Legion' star says on the subject of his character's possible connection to an X-Men legend.
No matter how many times he breaks free, David Haller (Dan Stevens) always has a prison to call his own.
The second episode of creator Noah Hawley's FX X-Men series, Legion, sees the show's titular mutant trading one top-secret facility for another. If the final scene of the pilot veered the series toward a full-blown superhero space, the second episode continues the trajectory as David leaves the Clockworks mental hospital behind in favor of a new home: Summerland, a school of sorts that exists in the middle of an expansive forest and seemingly the Legion equivalent of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters from the comics.
It's worth stopping down on the name "Xavier," too. Even the most casual X-Men fan knows about the all-powerful Professor X, played on film by both Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy over the years. But perhaps those same fans aren't aware that, in the comics, the good professor has a son: David Haller — aka the same telepathically gifted individual at the heart of Legion. Although the series has stopped short of confirming Xavier as David's father, it's at least exploring David's daddy issues in a pretty serious way. In "Chapter 2," Summerland leader Dr. Melanie Bird (Jean Smart) guides David on a tour of his own memories (a dangerous place, to put it mildly), where he spends some time with his father — a man who passed away a year earlier and a man who David can't fully picture now.
For more on David's new surroundings, both physical and mental, The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Stevens and learned his take on episode two, the continuing romance between David and powerful partner Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), the mystery of David's father, David's drug-addled past with Aubrey Plaza's frenetic Lenny and the secret origin behind the show's most disturbing character.
David arrives in Summerland this week, his new home for the time being. What does he think of this place, especially in comparison to a place like Clockworks?
I guess it's a step up! (Laughs.) It certainly seems like it.
At least aesthetically. It's a beautiful place.
Aesthetically, yeah. The design of Summerland is gorgeous. We all walked in there, and we were like, "I want whoever designed this to build me a house. It's so cool." But he's still being probed. He's still being studied, shall we say. People are still trying to figure him out, and there aren't a whole lot of answers yet. I think that, in every scenario David finds himself, whether that's physically or mentally, he treats it with a certain amount of skepticism. He's not fully prepared to believe everything he's shown, despite taking Melanie's hand at the end of the first hour. He's stepped into something. He doesn't really know who these people are or what's going on. He's still hearing all sorts of weird things. It's an interesting introduction for him. The only thing that can hold him there is his love for Syd. It's an inexplicable attraction. He can't quite give it up. She's the only one who can talk sense into him.
"A romance of the mind," as David describes it.
It's a really interesting relationship. Fortunately, Rachel Keller is a very great and playful actress. When you make inherent obstructions in a storyline, like, these people are very much in love, but they can never touch, and one of them happens to be crazy. ... How does that play out? I think that's very interesting. It certainly became very interesting, the visual cues that they have to adopt to demonstrate something. We tried to find a genuine mental connection to the truth, which was quite fun.
This episode introduces the concept of "memory work," which turns David's mind into an actual location for the show to visit. Given what we know about David's mental state, it would be fair to describe his mind as a pretty dangerous place, right?
Yeah. It's not the safest place to be, I don't think. There are some quite weird forces at play, once you get in there. It was quite fun, playing an altered version of him very suddenly. You have the wig on. It's this strange, grungier version of David who emerges, with the Twizzlers and, of course, with Lenny by his side. It's great to explore a different facet of the character.
Let's dig into that a little more. Through the "memory work," we see David and Lenny at some point in the past buying drugs and smoking them through a frog. First of all, what were you guys smoking?
I couldn't possibly tell you that. (Laughs.) But I was very proud of my smoke rings! I managed to get a couple of really sweet smoke rings off, and they used them. It's the kind of thing that makes you proud. But Aubrey Plaza as Lenny, she's a total delight, really. She occupies this very mischievous and dark place for David. Whenever she's around, things get pretty strange and pretty weird for David — and also for me, being around Aubrey. (Laughs.) That scene down by the railroad, where it's bleak, and there's the dog. ... It's so weird and so funny to suddenly be in those locations, having been in Clockworks for pretty much all of the first hour. To suddenly be let out on the streets with those kinds of scenes, it was really funny.
We learn about a book from David's childhood called The World's Angriest Boy in the World, which Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris) describes as a messed-up thing to read to your children. Cosigned! It's pretty clear that this book has had a bad impact on David. Is there an actual physical book that you were able to work with?
Yeah! Noah Hawley essentially wrote the world's most twisted children's book for our show. I wonder if they're going to publish it. I imagine they will! But it would be a little weird if it ended up on some child's bookshelf. Scratch that. That's an awful idea. But there was one. There was a physical copy, and it was useful. I love buying books for my kids, and it was a great sort of object to open up. It continues to feature quite strongly, both the book and the character of The World's Angriest Boy in the World, which is my favorite title of any book. But I think your perception of what it represents in David's memory might change.
David's father is becoming more of a presence on the show, starting with this episode. We find out that he studied stars. David says that his father died last year, and he wasn't able to attend his funeral because he was still hospitalized. We know from the comics that David's father is Professor X. Without spoiling the outcome, is the story of David's father going to be a major one to follow all season long?
It becomes a big issue for him, yeah, issues of provenance and where these issues may come from. ... I think it's always been a big question for him, and I think it becomes a big theme of the show. How much of that do we blame our parents for? How much should we actually own and take responsibility for ourselves? The question of his father specifically, that gets very muddy a little later on. It's definitely where we're headed. You want some resolution on that question. Because there's something strange about him being able to see his father, but he can't see his face. That kind of thing. We talked about how being in David's memories can be a bad place, but it's also an unreliable place. That's what I'm getting at with the book. Things aren't always what they seem, even in David's memory — especially in David's memory.
David is consistently haunted by the Devil with the Yellow Eyes, a nightmare creature that only he sees. What are you seeing when you're acting opposite the Devil?
It's actually a really great story. They wanted to do this prosthetically, and they had an amazing prosthetics team create this very weird suit with the eyes and everything and these incredible contact lenses. They were looking for someone to host this costume. They wanted a very specific physicality. They wanted someone very tall and very skinny, so that his arms and legs would be weirdly thin, and his body would be this weird gelatinous blob. Apparently they found this guy Quinton who works at a comic book store outside of Vancouver, and they asked him, "What are you doing for the next few months? Do you want to put on this crazy costume for an X-Men TV show?" If you asked most guys in a comic book [store this] question, you know what the answer would be.
Exactly. And he was awesome. He was just a great guy to have around. He knew so much about the world and Legion. But it wasn't until episode seven or eight that I finally met him and he wasn't in the giant costume. We would be having these very intense conversations about Legion and the X-Men universe with this very crazy Devil With the Yellow Eyes. It was very disturbing to look at. (Laughs.) The conversations couldn't last very long, as a result.
What did you think of the second episode of Legion? Sound off with your take in the comments below, and keep checking THR.com/Legion for more coverage of the show.

Rosemont Restaurant Week 2018
By MIRIAM FINDER ANNENBERG
Journal & Topics Reporter
This year's Rosemont Restaurant Week will move beyond last year's location of Parkway Bank Park to offer more options to area foodies.
"It was a success last year, so we decided this year we would expand it out to the whole village of Rosemont," said Michelle McDonald, Parkway Bank Park event coordinator. "We've got 13 restaurants that ended up wanting to participate this year."
She said that each restaurant has independently come up with its own menu and many will offer both a lunch and dinner menu during the week of March 4 to March 11. Each menu is a set price for a certain number of courses with specific options diners can choose from. While not as expansive as the entire menu, diners will be given a taste of what the restaurant is all about.
Since restaurants within Parkway Bank Park saw an uptick in customers thanks to restaurant week last year, McDonald worked to get new eateries on board for this year.
"We just kind of wanted to open this up," she said.
McDonald said the week-long event encourages new patronage at some of the restaurants. While many people stick to tried and true favorites, Rosemont has a plethora of dining options.
McDonald said the week was inspired by Chicago restaurant week in February.
"It's very similar to that, actually," she said. "We're just pulling people into the village of Rosemont and showing them what we have to offer here."
Based on last year's event, McDonald expects more people to filter into Rosemont as the dining experience goes village wide.
"Last year, the venues here in Rosemont, the restaurants they all saw that they got a lot of extra people in due to restaurant week," McDonald said. "A lot of people...let us know that they really enjoyed it and wanted to come back this year."
The village utilized social media and other tools to get the word out about restaurant week to local residents and businesses to entice people to dine at area restaurants during the special, promotional week. McDonald said often when patrons visit Parkway Bank Park, they have a specific dining destination in mind, but an event like restaurant week gives diners a push and special occasion to try something new.
"There are 12 venues here, so there's a lot to offer," she said. "Looking into the restaurant week website, they're able to see the different menus of different foods that these restaurants offer and they may want to try."
Restaurants participating in this year's Rosemont Restaurant Week include Adobe Gilas, Bub City, Five Roses, Fogo de Chao, Gino's East, Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse, Kings Dining and Entertainment, Hofbrauhaus, Liberty Tavern, Moretti's, Morton's Steakhouse, Park Tavern and The Ram.


At least aiming at controlling it is crucial.
What does it take to control anything? To reach a level that is above what needs to be controlled. On the level of the conditioned self it is not possible to control anything; at least not long term. To reach that level one needs to be aware of his identity and his supra individual Will and subordinate his conditioned self to it.
One also needs to possess a will to inner power. In lack of such an ambition one finds nothing extraordinary in being possessed by any emotions and suffers them sheepishly. When one realizes that being overcome by emotions one hasn't evoked himself means being possessed by them and that in turn means that one is not being oneself, one has the only legitimate motivation to control emotions: the motivation to assert oneself. What is the context of asserting oneself? Rulership of course; rulership over powers. We only possess powers we can rule. All this is helped by the right views, as the Buddhist doctrines emphasize when they list the major obstacles for self-realization.
The right views are of course solipsistic.
