It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has always been an outlier among sitcoms. Despite following many staples of a typical sitcom, such as maintaining the status quo, flawed but entertaining characters, and long unrequited love eventually leading into two unlikely characters getting together, the series always finds a way to subvert audience expectations. Unlike other sitcoms, the characters of It's Always Sunny or The Gang, as they refer to themselves as never learn any lessons, grow as characters, or have hidden hearts of gold deep down. Not even Seinfeld's characters, who are known for their jerkish behavior, can hold a light to terribleness that is The Gang. After eleven seasons of refusing to change, season twelve finally saw what looked like a real change with the character of Dennis breaking away from the group in order to move to North Dakota to raise his newly discovered son. The Season thirteen The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again sees how the remaining members of The Gang deal with this loss.
Sunny isn't the first sitcom to lose a main character and it deals with the loss of Dennis like how many sitcoms before it has by adding a new character. The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again starts with Cindy, played by Mindy Kaling, leading off a successful scheme to attract liberals to Paddy's Bar. It is quickly made clear that Cindy is just as devious and conniving as Dennis as she quickly relates a plan on how to take down the only bar that offers Paddy's any competition. The remaining members of The Gang are quickly swept up by Cindy's personality and actually seem to be on the road to success under her leadership. Cindy appears to possess all of Dennis' manipulation talents and none of his flaws like his extreme ego that prevent his plans from succeeding. Also unlike Dennis, Cindy actually nurtures and encourages the other members of The Gang. She plays off their abilities and keeps them in line. She even manages to keep them focused and from turning on one another.
While Cindy seems like the perfect replacement to Dennis and the exact thing the gang needs to finally move on with their lives, anyone who's spent more than five minutes with The Gang knows good things don't last for them. Despite everything going right, Mac can't help but feel a Dennis shaped hole in his life and orders a life-sized Dennis dole to help fill the void. The rest of The Gang and Cindy are initially extremely weirded out, but The Gang starts turning around on the doll when they begin hearing it speak to them. Cindy is baffled that her plans are being undermined by the doll and demands the group pick between her and it. Once again, despite better judgment, The Gang spit in the face of change and decide they prefer things the way they were regardless of whether it's better for them or not as Dennis makes his return, at least temporarily.
It's an interesting move by Sunny to reject the easy solution of adding in an extremely similar substitute to Dennis and to instead double down on the show's core stance on change by refusing to replace Dennis. It's an admirable move, but it still doesn't address how the show is going to deal with the Dennis issue. While Dennis is featured prominently in the second episode The Gang Escapes, he doesn't appear at all in the third episode The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot, despite every other member of The Gang has a cameo. Even though it is possible Dennis could be featured in most episodes of season thirteen, it did seem like Dennis' actor Glenn Howerton was genuine about not being able to be as present in the series. This is hinted at in The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again, when Dennis says he's only back for now. While the gang could always bring back the Dennis doll here and there before things got old, it's certainly not a permanent solution. Of course, Glenn could just as easily appear in the most of the season and the whole thing could be the show once again subverting everyone's expectations. Regardless, with or without Dennis, season thirteen of Sunny has managed to maintain its unique voice and humor.
All three episodes so far have seen The Gang tackling common industry trends like all female reboots of movies starring men, men's reactions to women in positions of power and of course dealing with a loss of a major cast member. One of my favorite subversions this season though was the show's take on Charlie and The Waitress' relationship. After obsessing over, stalking and unsuccessfully wooing her for eleven seasons, Charlie finally gets together with The Waitress in season twelve. Unlike a normal sitcom, where unrequited love finally being returned results in a very happy and strong couple, Sunny once again flips a sitcom staple on its head by having Charlie immediately regret their relationship. Despite all his time spent obsessing over her, Charlie never bothered to actually get to know The Waitress. It's not even clear if he knows her real name or not. Charlie is quickly annoyed by The Waitress' constant phone calls and he does his best to avoid her. At one point he becomes so sick of her, he dumps the Dennis doll on her in hopes it will give her somebody to talk to so that she'll leave him alone. Besides being extremely funny, the failure of Charlie and The Waitress' relationship is pretty realistic and a great jab at the unhealthy relationships most sitcoms try to pass off as good.
Finally, despite the potential change in Dennis' role in the series, one thing that isn't changing about Sunny is its recurring jokes that only prior fans can fully enjoy. Call it a flaw or not, but Sunny knows how to keep the same joke funny, even after years of telling it. Whether it be Mac's constant fluctuating weight, Dee's role as the group's punching bag or Frank whipping out his handgun, these jokes never seem to get old. Sunny also has a great cast of recurring characters and The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot sees plenty of fun returns. Even if no sitcom can last forever, It's Always Sunny shows that even without one of its leads, it's not going to go down with a fight. Anyone who's worried about the frequency of Dennis' appearances may want to wait to stream the series, as it still very unclear exactly how much Dennis will be in season thirteen. Otherwise, if that's not a huge worry for you, season thirteen of Sunny is still just as wildly entertaining as any season before it, and I highly recommend tuning in now.


What Role Does W3C Validation Have in SEO?
Home / Blog / What Role Does W3C Validation Have in SEO?
As if the SEO world wasn't full of enough debates, W3C validation is has been a heated discussion amongst experts. For those who are unfamiliar, W3C stands for Wide Web Consortium, a company that develops standards for code on the web. Validation works to check the HTML code for proper markup; thus making sure that all pages of a website are built in accordance with Web standards. If your website follows these standards, you have a better chance that your website will be able to work on different browsers and different operating systems. On the surface, validation seems like a good thing for SEO. This then causes many to scratch their heads and ask: Why all of the debate?
In general, W3C validation would naturally be seen as something beneficial for SEO. Validating your website is important because there are code errors that can cause serious styling issues from a web design perspective. These are generally the types of errors that also cause a Googlebot not to render. In other words, the type of errors and how many errors are really all that matter. Most SEOs agree that W3C validation does matter when it comes to SEO, but only for errors that cause bad rendering.
Still Great Content – The biggest reason that Cutts has for supporting this argument is that many browsers do a good job working with broken code. Users can usually understand broken code just fine, even if it is not perfect, so it wouldn't make sense for these tiny mistakes to affect a website's position on a SERP. Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land who helped Cutts answer this question compared this to a grammatical error. Every once and a while you read an article with a grammatical error, but you can usually still understand the article, right?
Google Doesn't Validate – Another reason that many SEOs do not put a large emphasis on W3C validation is the idea that many major sites don't validate. These sites include Google, Amazon, and Twitter. It is clear that these sites believe in great content (as do Google algorithms) more so than perfect code.
At the end of the day, W3C validation doesn't have a major impact on whether a website will rank. There are other aspects of SEO that should be put at the forefront of a website's strategy—content creation, link building, etc.—before worrying about W3C validation.
If you're interested in seeing how your website validates with W3C, visit the Markup Validator.
Do you have an opinion about W3C validation and SEO?

Q: Rails search in form In my Rails app I have a situation where I would like a user to be able to select another user as part of a form.
I have similar things working in my app using the 'bootstrap-multiselect-rails4' gem but I don't need the multiselect aspect and that relies on loading all of the options into a select tag which could be vast with all users in it.
I guess ideally it would be a text box which you type in and it searches the users and returns a list of matching users from which you can select one, all without leaving that page.
What would be the best way of doing this?

MEAA Location Offset Campaign
The Alliance (MEAA) is campaigning for an increase to the Location Offset to 30 per cent to make Australia a more competitive screen production destination.
In 2007 The Australian Government introduced the 15 per cent Location Offset (increased to 16.5% in 2011 - 2012 budget ) The Offset is a tax rebate for offshore production aimed to help increase levels of production, assist the development and sustainability of production companies and increase private investment levels in the industry.
Ausfilm Advocacy
Ausfilm has continued its advocacy activity for an increase to the Location Offset to 30%.
It is disappointing that there was no announcement in the 2012/13 budget but Ausfilm greatly appreciates the recognition by the Federal Government of the need to increase the offset with the one-off grant to The Wolverine, which acknowledges the fact that the current level of 16.5% is not working and that refundable tax offset of an extra 13/5% will attract major international production to Australia.
Ausfilm continues to make representations to Parliament of the need to increase the offset, particularly in light of the National Cultural Policy due to be announced later this year.
Ausfilm also acknowledges the support of MEAA on this issue.

Prevention is done on Facebook: a new function suggests the exams to undergo
30 Oct 2019 Massimo Mangia
Facebook launches a new feature that shows users in the United States a list of recommended preventive controls, sets reminders and links users to local providers of these services.
Born of partnerships with the American Cancer Society, the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association and the CDC, Facebook's Preventive Health tool translates the clinical guidelines from each of these organizations into generalized checklists and reminders that are easier for the average Facebook user to act upon.
Recommendations for screening and checklists are generated based on the users' age and gender. The tool then provides a map of nearby medical centres where users can receive the recommended services. The tool also includes a map of the centres where it is possible to receive a flu vaccination that has been developed by Boston Children's.
Users can also share the tool with their Facebook friends to encourage others to understand the importance of prevention and look for medical centres to perform examinations.
The tool is limited to promoting prevention and providing information. Data relating to the use of this feature is not shared with third parties or used to select advertisements. Facebook also declares that it will never have access to any of the results or data generated by the tool that are protected and limited to the strict minimum. A particular care to privacy has been taken since the design of the tool.
The tool is now only available in the USA, but Facebook intends to extend this functionality to other countries, after an initial testing phase of 6 – 12 months.
Promoting prevention through Facebook would have a strong impact on the health of the more than 2 billion active monthly users of the social network.
Considering only heart disease and cancer, 1.3 million lives are lost In the United States alone; a significant part of these could be saved by prevention.

Every year, as the time comes nearer for the winter to set in, you must be having the same bad dreams about the main entrance – way being knee – deep in fresh snow. Snow is a nice change from the drab weather just preceding it, but without the hassles that arrive with it, in the form of road blockade, frequent accidents from skidding, risky driving and low visibility. Constant snowfall also makes the weather dreary in no time – all you wishing for is to have a peek at the sun. Life is undoubtedly difficult when snow arrives.
The services of the snow – removal companies in Boston MA are naturally gaining popularity, as the snow situation is seeing worse form every year. When you wake up in the morning to find a few inches of snow on the driveway, you feel simply miserable. Only the sight of the snow – removal services can make you grow cheerful in such a difficult situation, when you are getting late for work, and the snow is piled right up to your knees.
You always have the option of removing the snow yourself, using a shovel and clad in a rubber boot. But not all have the time or the physical strength to complete this laborious task all be himself / herself. It is then that you remember the snow removal companies, who have the professional expertise and the manpower to clean the front of the house in no time. Often, the nature and depth of the snow that has fallen is not the job of a shovel to be removed. It requires the experience and the gadgets possessed by the snow – removal companies to do the job.
Why Do You Require Residential Cleaning Services At All At Home?
The very thought of cleaning up the mess at home this weekend can turn you into an angry and frustrated individual. You may take it out on the family members, for no fault of theirs. So, why spoil your dearly – earned weekends in dusting and house – cleaning, when the experts are here to help you out. They are professionals, equipped with all necessary gadgets, to turn your house looking brand – new. You may do a day to day dusting on an overall basis. But the detailed cleaning work can be of the best quality when taken up by experienced people who know how to do it.
The entire house is cleaned, doors and windows cleaned thoroughly, toilets cleaned and sanitised, the garden mowed and trimmed, the furniture scrubbed, the utensils and clothes washed, the carpets cleaned by the residential cleaning service Boston MA.
Whenever you decide to get the snow removed or get the house cleaned in Boston MA, it is best to rely on the services of the registered firms; even if they cost more than the guy you just spotted cleaning the neighbouring house.

Moreover, the cleaning companies have their employees covered under accident insurance, so that in case of any eventuality, you are protected from legal harassment.

There is no denying that infographics can be a very useful tool for relaying information and gaining traffic through content marketing. However, a good tool isn't nearly as useful if it isn't used effectively. Infographics are such a popular way of displaying statistics, it's all but impossible to search for statistics about infographics. With so many infographics out there, marketers and business owners need to make sure their infographics stand out to their audiences. Here are four tips to ensure that the infographics you produce are at their best.
A good infographic is more than just imagery, it's about the information. Just as custom content is important for articles and blog posts, the same is true for infographics. However, it is common to see infographics with the exact same information as another with slightly different images. Just as you wouldn't copy the text from an article, don't copy the data from another infographic. This is unavoidable sometimes because people may be looking at the same dataset and end up making similar graphics. But if you're starting to make an infographic and you see it's been done, find a way to make it original. Find new research, focus on different areas (one infographic couldn't cover everything in a particular study), etc. Taking the time to think of a way to present data in a way that others haven't will help a infographic spread in a way that generic image wouldn't.
As with anything that is data-based, infographics need to have sources. While there are many people (sadly, too many) who are willing to repeat anything they see online without verification, the business and information savvy consumers that are the primary target audiences of infographics are looking for sources. Many infographics handle this by including a list of sources within the graphic itself. This is good for when the image is shared on social media or shows up in search engines, because it quickly establishes that sources can be found. However, since sources listed this way can't be clicked, they aren't particularly helpful for someone who really wants to view the source data. They would have to type in the entire url by hand using only the tiny characters of the infographic to go on. While this is possible, it's a heavy burden on the searcher. Post links to the sources under the image when it's posted by the organization. Besides adding credibility to the infographic, it adds value to the post on the businesses blog as well.
Anything a business owner uses to promote their business needs to be done well, and infographics are no exception. It's not a good idea to just throw together an infographic that looks like it was made with MS Paint in 1995. There are a lot of templates for infographics that can be downloaded from Shutterstock and other image hosting services. These templates can be used with other images and data create original and professional-looking infographics relatively quickly. It's equally important that the data used be of high quality. Don't make an original, bold, new infographic and then use data that's five years old or from poorly conducted studies. As the name suggests, people are looking for good information and good graphics when they look at infographics. Missing either component reduces the usefulness of the entire package.
One thing to keep in mind when creating an infographic is that your space is limited and visually displaying data takes up more space than writing it. This means that you can't just put every relevant piece of data on the infographic, otherwise it will be huge and people won't look at all of it. The remedy is to focus the infographic on something specific and then only use the best data. For example, instead of trying to do an infographic on a generic topic like "social media" use a more focused subject like "social media engagement rates by network". Besides keep the graphic itself on track, this is better for SEO because people who are searching for specific data are far more likely to click on an infographic with a title that focuses on the subject of their search.
Infographics are valuable tools for marketers and content creators, but with so many out there, it takes effort to create a graphic that will catch the attention of a target audience. It's important that the infographic tool be used in a way that maximizes its effectiveness. Use these tips to help create infographics that are so useful that they are shared by others.

El Diario fue el periódico oficial del Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso (PCP-SL) que actuaba como medio de propaganda y su vocero para la reivindicación de actos terroristas. Actualmente cuenta con una versión en línea.

Historia
El Diario fue creado a partir del Nuevo Diario (diario sucesor de El Diario de Marka) con los ingresos obtenidos por un secuestro realizado por el Comando Revolucionario del Pueblo (CRP), una facción del Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR).En 1987, el Nuevo Diario es adquirido por Oswaldo Travezaño y Luis Arce Borja, miembros de Sendero Luminoso, manteniendo a Carlos Angulo en su puesto. El nombre del periódico es cambiado a El Diario. En noviembre de 1987, Angulo renuncia al puesto y la administración es reorganizada quedando Luis Arce Borja, alias "Camarada Ramiro", al mando. En 1988, El Diario publicaría "La entrevista del siglo" donde Abimael Guzmán manifestaría sus motivaciones para iniciar su accionar terrorista y su adhesión a las ideas de Marx, Lenin y Mao. En 1989, El Diario fue dirigido internamente por la periodista Janet Talavera, alias "Camarada Ana", siendo ella su figura pública mientras Jorge Luis Durán Araujo fue el encargado que enlazaba a El Diario con el Comité Central del PCP-SL. El Diario sería desarticulado por el GEIN en la Operación Moyano en 1992.

El Diario Internacional
Con la llegada de Arce Borja a Europa se abriría El Diario Internacional. El desmantelamiento de El Diario cortó el flujo de información para El Diario Internacional. Luego, Arce Borja retomaría el control de El Diario Internacional y dispondría de una versión electrónica.

Q: jQuery doesn't work after delegating domain to third-party DNS and hosting I've made a webpage for a friend and it worked just fine for some time.
Recently he was unable to pay for hosting so webpage became unable. It lasted four months approximately. A month ago he paid for hosting BUT now it seems like jQuery isn't working...
Hosting provider said:
"Domain metall-sti.ru was delegated to third-party DNS and was placed on third-party  hosting: domain: METALL-STI.RU. nserver: ns1.reg.ru. nserver: ns2.reg.ru.
Website works correctly with it's technical adress metall02.mass.hc.ru "

A: Here's what you can try:

*

*Is the jQuery.js file actually present on the new web host?

*Is the URL correctly pointing to the file and being included in the page?

*Are you trying out some AJAX calls via jQuery? Are the URL's still valid?


A Texas pastor is reacting with rage to the result of the midterm elections, in which Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives.
Following the election, Pastor Ed Young said the Democratic Party is "basically godless," in a rant about the results, reports the Forth Worth Star-Telegram.
The Democratic Party is "some kind of religion that is basically godless," Young reportedly said.
Young said all Democrats are evil.
The Star-Telegram said Young's comments were not unique.
"The leader of the Houston-based Texas Pastor Council, Republican anti-LGBT rights activist Dave Welch, wrote in a Friday commentary that Young is right — secular Democrats are a 'godless party' that embraces legal abortion and 'moral anarchy,'" the paper reports.

I don't know whether the order of the quests has changed for the Tiller's Union votes, but in Patch 6.1, I was given the Mung-Mung set of quests (plant and harvest 2 ) before the Farmer Fung quests (plant and harvest 3 ). The guide above indicates the Mung-Mung quests are given after the Farmer Fung ones.
Some of the info in this guide is slightly off, and anno 8.0 I think some rep flow info for players that want to unlock the farm is in order. I assume you do have , if you're doing it on your first character this whole process will take twice as long.
Neutral: the Tillers starts with at Farmer Yoon. Doing this whole chain will get you approximately to Honored.
Honored: starts off with for 2k rep and more slots. Requires 15 minutes login time. Then unlocks .
Honored ~50%: at 5.6k you will get for 1.6k rep, requires 2x Juicycrunch Carrot planted.
Revered: starts off with for 2k rep and more slots. Requires 15 minutes login time. Then unlocks .
Revered 20%: 4.2k will unlock for 1.6k/rep, requires 3x Green Cabbage planted.
Revered 40%: 8.4k will unlock for 1.6k/rep, requires 3x Witchberry planted.
Revered 60%: 12.6k will unlock for 1k/rep, theoretically this is optional, but don't you dare!
Revered 80%: 16.8k will unlock for 4.4k/rep, requires 4x Striped Melons planted, netting you Exalted.
Exalted: will unlock to max out the farm after 15 minutes, also unlocking .
For example: When you go to plant the scallion for Gina, you also plant the Juicycrunch Carrots for Mung Mung. This will make it so that as soon as you hit honored you can do Mung Mung's questline all at once and not have to wait until the next day. If you have bought the , you should be just over honored when you get to this quest.
Plant and harvest 1 , then deliver 5 Scallions to Gina Mudclaw.
Plant and harvest 2 , then deliver 10 Juicycrunch Carrots to Mung-Mung.
Plant and harvest 3 , then deliver 15 Green Cabbages to Farmer Fung.
Plant and harvest 3 , then deliver 15 Witchberries to Nana Mudclaw.
Plant and harvest 4 , then deliver 20 Striped Melons to Farmer Yoon.

At three months old, Kaitlin Sidhu was diagnosed with semilobal holoprosencephaly, a rare brain malformation that can result in muscle spasms, seizures, and deformities. On the heels of this devastating news was a cancer diagnosis, which meant baby Kaitlin spent most of the first three years of her life in hospital.
A devastating experience for any family. Parents, Amanda and Robert thought they'd exhausted their medical avenues. But then, they were introduced Dr. Hal Siden and Canuck Place Children's Hospice. "He came into the room, looked Kaitlin over and listened to everything she'd been through. He had some ideas of what we could do to reduce her pain and symptoms and we felt so relived there were options out there," said mom, Amanda.
But, becoming part of Canuck Place was scary, "because it's a hospice," said Amanda. "Most people think 'end of life.'" But that wasn't Kaitlin's case. Canuck Place could offer Kaitlin help with pain and symptom management and could provide her parents with much-needed respite.
Kaitlin and her family's first stay at Canuck Place was for six weeks. They never once worried about how to get breakfast, lunch or dinner. All those details were taken care of so that the family could focus on helping Kaitlin.
Something as small as a home-cooked meal can nourish the spirit. When was the last time you let someone do something special for you?

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500
In the year 2019, Audemars Piguet replaced the reference 15400, the base model Royal Oak, with the reference 15500. The Swiss watch manufacturer from Le Brassus made some incremental adjustments to the design while still maintaining the classic Royal Oak look. An important change is the use of a new in-house movement.You might wonder: "What has been changed?". When it comes to aesthetics, the 15500 has a thicker case, the minute track is displayed on the outer edge of the dial, the date aperture is positioned farther away from the centre of the dial and the applied hour-markers are wider. The new movement is more precise and has a longer power reserve. The 15500 comes in five different versions: three in steel with either a black, blue or grey dial and two in rose gold with both a black dial and either a bracelet or a leather strap. The one we have on offer is from steel, has a grey dial and is brand new. It comes with the inner and outer box and the international warranty paper and card.
Audemars Piguet Royal OakIn 1970, Audemars Piguet instructed Genta to come up with an unprecedented steel watch. As the story goes, he found inspiration whilst seeing a diver at work with an old-fashioned diver's helmet near Lake Geneva. Staying up all night, Genta drew the design for a circular case with an angular, octagonal bezel, eight visible screws, and an integrated bracelet. The Royal Oak was presented in 1972 as the most expensive steel watch available and it caused an uproar: why was a distinguished maison d'horlogerie putting out a sports watch, let alone in such a pedestrian material? Some experts even predicted that the Royal Oak would put Audemars Piguet out of business. Though it took a while to catch on, the Royal Oak is now one of the most iconic and long-lasting watch designs, and has spawned an entire product line. It wouldn't be the first time that Genta would prove a brand's owners, customers, and industry experts wrong.

AXA UK and Ireland Group chief executive Paul Evans attributed the results to an improvement in the quality of underwriting but he warned that markets remained tough, adding that that there were clear signs that premium must soon increase in some sectors.
"Whilst every effort is made to reduce costs and claims fraud so as to keep premiums down, there are clear signs that premium rates must soon increase in some sectors.
The insurer now plans to develop its next five-year plan to 2020.
Evans added: "This will be an exciting period during which time business models must evolve to respond to developing customer needs and ways of doing business.
"Never has it been more important to place the customer at the heart of everything we do – as we've already demonstrated.

Sue, A Little Heroine
by L. T. Meade
Juvenile Fiction > Mysteries, Espionage, & Detective Stories
CHAPTER I. BIG BEN'S VOICE.
Sue made a great effort to push her way to the front of the crowd. The street preacher was talking, and she did not wish to lose a word. She was a small, badly made girl, with a freckled face and hair inclined to red, but her eyes were wonderfully blue and intelligent. She pushed and pressed forward into the thick of the crowd. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and looking up, saw a very rough man gazing at her.
"Be that you, Peter Harris?" said Sue. "An' why didn't yer bring Connie along?"
"Hush!" said some people in the crowd.
The preacher raised his voice a little higher:
"'Tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee.'"
Peter Harris, the rough man, trembled slightly. Sue found herself leaning against him. She knew quite well that his breath was coming fast.
"His disciples and Peter," she said to herself.
The street preacher had a magnificent voice. It seemed to roll above the heads of the listening crowd, or to sink to a penetrating whisper which found its echo in their hearts. The deep, wonderful eyes of the man had a power of making people look at him. Sue gazed with all her might and main.
"Father John be a good un," she said to herself. "He be the best man in all the world."
After the discourse—which was very brief and full of stories, and just the sort which those rough people could not help listening to—a hymn was sung, and then the crowd dispersed.
Sue was amongst them. She was in a great hurry. She forgot all about John Atkins, the little street preacher to whom she had been listening. She soon found herself in a street which was gaily lighted; there was a gin-palace at one end, another in the middle, and another at the farther end. This was Saturday night: Father John was fond of holding vigorous discourses on Saturday nights. Sue stopped to make her purchases. She was well-known in the neighborhood, and as she stepped in and out of one shop and then of another, she was the subject of a rough jest or a pleasant laugh, just as the mood of the person she addressed prompted one or other. She spent a few pence out of her meager purse, her purchases were put into a little basket, and she found her way home. The season was winter. She turned into a street back of Westminster; it went by the name of Adam Street. It was very long and rambling, with broken pavements, uneven roadways, and very tall, narrow, and dirty houses.
In a certain room on the fourth floor of one of the poorest of these houses lay a boy of between ten and eleven years of age. He was quite alone in the room, but that fact did not at all insure his being quiet. All kinds of sounds came to him—sounds from the street, sounds from below stairs, sounds from overhead. There were shrieking voices and ugly laughter, and now and then there were shrill screams. The child was accustomed to these things, however, and it is doubtful whether he heard them.
He was a sad-looking little fellow, with that deadly white complexion which children who never go into the fresh air possess....

The importance of consumer surveys in deceptive advertising matters
Litigants in false advertising matters can often underestimate the impact of consumer surveys in proving or refuting allegations of deception. One example is Trex Co. v CPG International, two companies who compete in the alternative decking industry. In this case, Trex alleged that CPG engaged in advertising that included false or misleading statements, including the claim that "CPG is a preferred choice 2-to-1 over the competition." Trex sought a preliminary injunction against CPG based on the alleged false claim.
CPG maintained that the "preferred choice 2-to-1" claim was puffery. The court disagreed, pointing out that the claim provided a ratio, which implies that there is data to back up the statement. Further, the court believed that the phrase "preferred choice," especially when combined with the 2-to-1 ratio, made a sufficiently factual statement that could potentially be construed as false or misleading.
The court concluded that the vague nature of the claim precluded a finding of literal falsity, and therefore turned its attention to determining whether the claim was misleading (that is, was the claim deceptive through implied falsity). Trex, however, did not put forth any empirical evidence to demonstrate that a reasonable consumer would be misled by the "preferred choice 2-to-1" claim. As a result, the court concluded that Trex had failed to meet its burden and denied the motion for preliminary injunction.
What is interesting about this case is that Trex seemed unprepared for the court to consider the claim as anything other than literally false. While determining literal falsity does not require the aid of consumer perceptions, demonstrating that an advertisement is misleading relies almost exclusively on what consumers believe after being exposed to the advertisement at issue. Not surprisingly, consumer surveys are one of the most frequently utilized and accepted methods in which to demonstrate whether or not an advertisement is misleading to consumers. In this case, it appears that the court was expecting a consumer survey, and the failure to produce one undermined Trex's ability to obtain the preliminary injunction.

Last year's inaugural Wavescape Fish Fry was a great event and it's back this year in what promises to be a huge success. I'm stoked to have a stand again this year, and I'll have some brand new wood surfboards to showcase.
Presented by sustainable seas experts WWF-SASSI, the community event promises to "open a window into underground surf culture to enable shapers, artists, environmentalists and surfers to share ideas, and barter or buy surfboards from each other". So says the publicity material from the organisers.
With a focus on environmental and social issues, a big focus of the evening is to raise awareness around sustainable seafood consumption, and to raise funds for the Waves for Change development programme.
The programme includes bush cook guru and celebrity chef Justin Bonello, who will host a special fish braai challenge featuring six Cape Town Ultimate Braaimaster teams from Seasons 2 and 3 of the popular TV cooking series (Smoke, Sweat and Tears, Coal Play, Santa Annas, Weskus Braaiers, Tikka Boys and Team Tenancity). Executive chef Bertus Basson will head a judging panel featuring food bloggers and foodies, and top South African cookbooks will be raffled.
During the early afternoon, the Save Our Seas Foundation's Shark Education Centre will be there with some fun edutainment activities for the kids. There will also be craft beer and food stalls, and surf artists and craftsmen will demonstrate their work. Pace yourself, because later on in the evening, 5FM DJ Cath Grenfell, specially down from Joburg, is going to rock the house with some epic dance music.
Fish Fry takes off at 3pm on Saturday 29th November with a surfboard market, so bring your spare boards to swap or sell. Pay R100 per board at the door. We reserve the right to put your boards in the bargain box. Good quality or crafted boards get on the main rack for sale, along with unique surfboard specials by top Cape Town shapers.
Entrance is R30 at the door and free for under 16s. Board sellers get entrance included in their board fee.

myMail is a simple, attractive, and fast little app that brings all your email accounts into one user-friendly interface. It is compatible with Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook, iCloud and a lot more email providers. It runs on smartphones and tablets, both Android and iOS. It is a delight to navigate with swiping motions that open up easy to sort out windows where you can read, compose, forward, reply to your emails, and chat with your friends.
myMail sports a clean-cut, simplistic interface that reminds of Gmail, as it's user-friendly, bright and has every option where it belongs, so users won't waste their time looking for something. myMail's GUI makes it incredibly easy to focus on what's important by combining simple colors and typography to remove distracting information from the screen. myMail offers convenient previews and a visual built-in attachment viewer.
Navigating the application takes a swipe to the left to see the inbox, or add another account; or to the right to read, compose, or reply to messages.
Push notifications allow you to receive notifications of new incoming messages as soon as they appear in your inbox, irrespective of whether your email client supports this feature, or not. Users can turn these notifications off if they don't want to receive them, or filter them. For example, if you don't wish to receive notifications of incoming messages from a specific person, you just turn them off. You can set a "quiet time" and receive no notifications while you work, or rest.
A bright and customizable inbox allows users to navigate the list of messages in a fast manner where they can see their friends' avatars, therefore, making it easier to identify important messages, as well as tagging messages from important services. Users can turn the avatars on and off according to their specific needs.
A smart built-in search tool allows searching instantly through all messages and contacts, as well as composing your emails faster with phrases and contact suggestions.
myMail will have access to your device's address book, and the next time you compose your email it will have the list of all your contacts, so you don't have to check out in multiple email clients for a specific contact.
The app makes it easy to share photos that are stocked in your phone or tablet, offering a convenient way of adding multiple images to a message.
Advanced users will appreciate this little application for its speed and responsiveness; it offers impressive data compression which saves bandwidth. Moreover, at myMail they seem to understand the importance of encryption, so irrespective of your network security, be it private or public Wi-Fi, myMail encrypts your emails and information by using the latest security protocols to protect your data's privacy and integrity.
myMail understands the importance of privacy in one more aspect: you can make push notifications private by hiding the senders information or the subject of the message, thus preventing it from popping up on your screen.
myMail makes it possible to forward emails without downloading them.
It has all your contacts in a single database, so you have frequently used contacts handy.
It offers a simple, easy to navigate, attractive graphical user interface.
The program is fast and responsive; it didn't crash, freeze, or offer any annoying pop-ups during our test.
The in-built search option allows to find easily relevant emails and contacts.
Previews allow you to have an idea of what is in the image without downloading it.
Email and data encryption is one of its best features granting you some peace of mind in terms of privacy and security.
While having all contacts in a single address book may seem like an advantage to some users, the same feature may be a concern to others because of too much user relevant data is collected into a single application. Other than that, we could not identify anything to point a finger at.
Android devices could use a decent native in-built email client that would be at par with the one you have in iOS. The endless variety of email clients available on Google Play makes it difficult to choose a third-party solution to address your Android email concerns. Here are a few alternatives that have proven to be viable over the years: K-9 mail is a very popular choice; it comes free of charge, but doesn't have a conversation view. Mail Droid is also free and offers the conversation view, but it has a significant drawback – if you delete an email that you are reading, you are automatically taken back to the inbox. It also offers annoying banner ads you can get rid of by upgrading to the Pro version which costs $18. Enhanced E-mail also seems nice and has many options, but it doesn't offer conversation view.
Entrusting your emails to a third-party software is an issue in itself. I would've felt a lot more confident with nifty and feature-rich native Android application to process emails from multiple email accounts. Since native Android email application leaves much to desire, users have to resort to third-party apps. myMail is currently one of the best solutions to your email woes.
Our Android smartphones and tablets allow us the luxury of playing 3-D games, working online, driving with in-built GPS, but sorting out emails is a pain. myMail application addresses this issue in many aspects, and so far it is a viable alternative for Android users, but iOS devotees may feel reluctant to migrate from a feature-rich iOS native email application.


That gave his mind a new turn. After that he never went into the woods without carrying the sling in his pocket and he spent hours shooting at imaginary animals concealed among the brown leaves in the trees. Thoughts of his coming manhood passed and he was content to be a boy with a boy's impulses.
Jesse and David set out from the Bentley farmhouse in the old phaeton that was drawn by the white horse. When they had gone along in silence for a long way they stopped at the edge of a field where a flock of sheep were grazing. Among the sheep was a lamb that had been born out of season, and this David and his grandfather caught and tied so tightly that it looked like a little white ball. When they drove on again Jesse let David hold the lamb in his arms. "I saw it yesterday and it put me in mind of what I have long wanted to do," he said, and again he looked away over the head of the boy with the wavering, uncertain stare in his eyes.
After the feeling of exaltation that had come to the farmer as a result of his successful year, another mood had taken possession of him. For a long time he had been going about feeling very humble and prayerful. Again he walked alone at night thinking of God and as he walked he again connected his own figure with the figures of old days. Under the stars he knelt on the wet grass and raised up his voice in prayer. Now he had decided that like the men whose stories filled the pages of the Bible, he would make a sacrifice to God. "I have been given these abundant crops and God has also sent me a boy who is called David," he whispered to himself. "Perhaps I should have done this thing long ago." He was sorry the idea had not come into his mind in the days before his daughter Louise had been born and thought that surely now when he had erected a pile of burning sticks in some lonely place in the woods and had offered the body of a lamb as a burnt offering, God would appear to him and give him a message.
A dozen plans for escape ran through David's head, but when Jesse stopped the horse and climbed over the fence into the wood, he followed. "It is foolish to be afraid. Nothing will happen," he told himself as he went along with the lamb in his arms. There was something in the helplessness of the little animal held so tightly in his arms that gave him courage. He could feel the rapid beating of the beast's heart and that made his own heart beat less rapidly. As he walked swiftly along behind his grandfather, he untied the string with which the four legs of the lamb were fastened together. "If anything happens we will run away together," he thought.
In the woods, after they had gone a long way from the road, Jesse stopped in an opening among the trees where a clearing, overgrown with small bushes, ran up from the creek. He was still silent but began at once to erect a heap of dry sticks which he presently set afire. The boy sat on the ground with the lamb in his arms. His imagination began to invest every movement of the old man with significance and he became every moment more afraid. "I must put the blood of the lamb on the head of the boy," Jesse muttered when the sticks had begun to blaze greedily, and taking a long knife from his pocket he turned and walked rapidly across the clearing toward David.
Terror seized upon the soul of the boy. He was sick with it. For a moment he sat perfectly still and then his body stiffened and he sprang to his feet. His face became as white as the fleece of the lamb that, now finding itself suddenly released, ran down the hill. David ran also. Fear made his feet fly. Over the low bushes and logs he leaped frantically. As he ran he put his hand into his pocket and took out the branched stick from which the sling for shooting squirrels was suspended. When he came to the creek that was shallow and splashed down over the stones, he dashed into the water and turned to look back, and when he saw his grandfather still running toward him with the long knife held tightly in his hand he did not hesitate, but reaching down, selected a stone and put it in the sling. With all his strength he drew back the heavy rubber bands and the stone whistled through the air. It hit Jesse, who had entirely forgotten the boy and was pursuing the lamb, squarely in the head. With a groan he pitched forward and fell almost at the boy's feet. When David saw that he lay still and that he was apparently dead, his fright increased immeasurably. It became an insane panic.
With a cry he turned and ran off through the woods weeping convulsively. "I don't care–I killed him, but I don't care," he sobbed. As he ran on and on he decided suddenly that he would never go back again to the Bentley farms or to the town of Winesburg. "I have killed the man of God and now I will myself be a man and go into the world," he said stoutly as he stopped running and walked rapidly down a road that followed the windings of Wine Creek as it ran through fields and forests into the west.
On the ground by the creek Jesse Bentley moved uneasily about. He groaned and opened his eyes. For a long time he lay perfectly still and looked at the sky. When at last he got to his feet, his mind was confused and he was not surprised by the boy's disappearance. By the roadside he sat down on a log and began to talk about God. That is all they ever got out of him. Whenever David's name was mentioned he looked vaguely at the sky and said that a messenger from God had taken the boy. "It happened because I was too greedy for glory," he declared, and would have no more to say in the matter.

Taking stock on who the experts think the Celtics will draft in 2020
In the Celtics Wire's second composite mock draft of 2019-20, we review who three of the NCAA's top analysts believe the Boston Celtics should be considering in the 2019-20 NBA Draft.
The franchise may well have to rely on prior scouting and interviews from a distance as the entire draft process may be impacted by the same coronavirus pandemic suspending NBA activities in general.
But with plenty of eyes on the film of these prospects at the NCAA level or wherever they played before the draft, it's very plausible teams can still make solid choices in the absence of a combine and individual workouts.
But who are the Celtics going to look at — and who should they be looking at?
To that end, we've again assembled another composite draft with some brief information and video about prospects falling in range of the Celtics' three first-round picks, assuming the draft order reflects the standings on Mar. 11.
Drawing on the expertise of CBS Sports' Gary Parrish, NBC Sports' Rob Dauster and The Athletic's Sam Vecenie, we'll briefly review their projected picks for the Celtics.
WNBA to have virtual draft in April; could be model for NBA https://t.co/6E3lPYBfvm
— The Celtics Wire (@TheCelticsWire) March 26, 2020
While Dauster doesn't mock prospects to specific teams, we'll assume his order reflects the state of the NBA standings at the moment.
As of now, Boston would end up with the 17th overall pick via the first round selection owed them by the Memphis Grizzlies, the 26th overall pick (their own) and the last pick of the first round (No. 30 overall), owed them by the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks.
So, let's get started with the 17th pick.
Boston Celtics rookie point guard Payton Pritchard is being held in high regard among the best players from his cohort of incoming NBA players in a recent Bleacher Report article by Jonathan Wasserman.
The first-year floor general, drafted out of the University of Oregon with the 26th overall pick of the 2020 NBA draft, has impressed Celtics fans and NBA analysts alike with his ability to impact winning despite being taken near the end of the first round -- and seen by some as a reach at the time.

Boston Celtics Week 5 power rankings: Kemba Walker's return
The Boston Celtics had a mixed bag of a week, blowing out one team and getting blown out by another as they slowly return to a mostly available roster from one without the minimum number of players required to play an NBA game.
And even with the lopsided loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday, the return (and healthy-looking play, if not efficient) of starting point guard Kemba Walker seems to have offset the negative in a lot of weekly power rankings -- if not improved their standing. And while it may be early in the...
So far this season, we have seen Boston Celtics two-way center Tacko Fall take a big step forward (no pun intended) in his growth as a player, showing some flashy new skills early in the 2020-21 NBA season.
The University of Central Florida product has shown vastly improved conditioning running the floor, keeping pace with all but the fastest players on the court. He also has shown better timing and court awareness, translating to improved defense -- even on former league Most Valuable Players -- and Fall has even shown he has a near 3-point jumper with the ability to...

What is the input for IAGAnimationTrack.AttachObject?
In ArcObjects' .NET SDK for ArcMap 10.5, in order to create an animation one needs to attach an object to the animation track. I cannot figure out what that object is. I am trying to create a time animation via ArcObjects. When looking at the Track properties in ArcMap, there is a list of available and attached objects, which in my case has only " 'Layers' display time ". How do I access this in ArcObjects, so I can pass it to AttachObject? I thought this might just be the time-enabled layer, but that generates an exception. All examples I can find use the older TimeLayer classes, written for 9.x, and in that case it looks like it did take the time-enabled layer.
Attaching IMap will work for a time animation. As would ITimeMapDisplay and IActiveView.

Assessment Technologies
Perception Assessment Management Tool Streamlines UI, Expands Host Support
By Scott Aronowitz
Questionmark has released the newest version of its Perception assessment management software. Version 5, available now, adds auto-sizing and auto-sensing, which together automatically reformat any assessment or survey issued with the software to the size and specs conducive to the medium on which the content is being viewed, be it a full-sized computer screen, a smaller netbook screen, or even an iPhone.
Perception offers a method of deploying quizzes and tests, surveys, and other assessments to a variety of media hardware, including desktop and laptop computers, thin client stations, Blackberries, iPods. and iPhones. And with version 5 come new features such as auto-sizing and auto-sensing, which make viewing assessment content even easier, regardless of the medium.
Questionmark explained it this way: "The system auto-senses each device and its browser, then the content auto-sizes to ensure the assessment appears in the right format. 'Screen furniture'--the buttons and other graphics incorporated in assessments--is automatically resized to fit each different screen size."
In addition, Perception 5 offers streamlined multilingual interfaces that allow content creators to translate questions entered in English quickly and confidently into any or all of 20 languages, including Spanish, French, Dutch, German, and Japanese. Translations can be processed interactively using Questionmark's own translation management system (TMS), or the user can easily export questions to a third-party TMS.
Version 5 also offers the following new features:
A new logon and assessment list screen that make it easier for participants to find assessments and view schedules, reports, and other information;
Easier navigation through assessments and ready access to embedded tools such as calculators and charts;
Enhanced failsafe functionality to protect data if an Internet connection is lost;
Three-tiered architecture providing greater scalability and enhanced security;
Easier to install and deploy in load-balanced environments;
New APIs to expand integration options of Questionmark's Open Assessment Platform; and
Support for Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 (Perception Authoring Manager), Oracle 11g, and SQL Server 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Combat! - The Complete Series" - Absolutely Great Picture Quality
I recorded all 152 episodes of "Combat!" on VHS tapes when the series was shown many years ago on the "Action Channel," and more recently, I recorded the series again on DVDs when it was shown on "Me TV." The picture quality of my old VHS tapes is actually much better than that of my more recent DVDs, but watching shows on VHS tapes today is not nearly as convenient as using DVDs. For several years now, I have been interested in buying the subject DVD set, but there were many customer reviews in past years which cited various problems with the set. In the past year, the customer reviews have been virtually all positive, so I again became interested in getting the DVD set. Wanting to get the convenience of modern DVDs as well as hopefully getting a better quality picture, I finally decided to purchase this "Combat!" DVD set.
When I put the first DVD and started watching the first episode, I could not believe how good the picture quality was. I was watching it on a high definition TV, but the picture was simply much better than that of my old VHS tapes when viewed on the same TV. If you watch a "Combat!" episode on "Me TV," the picture quality is not anywhere nearly a good as the quality of the subject DVD set. The picture quality of this DVD set really is remarkable. Thus far, I have just completed watching the second season, and all of the episodes I have seen are the same high quality sharp picture.
The set consists of forty DVDs - eight DVDs per season for five seasons, four episodes per DVD, and some DVDs include additional video material. Each DVD has one or more voice interviews with various people associated with the show, and there are also several videos of some of the actors being interviewed many years ago. Most of the DVDs include a commentary by the director of one of the episodes featured on that DVD. Each episode also includes notes on that episode provided by Jo Davidsmeyer and titled "Notes, Oddities, and Bloopers."
As some reviewers have noted, the DVDs are difficult to get out of the snap holder the first time, and you really do have to be careful as you lift up and pull each one off the snap holder. Once the DVD is removed the first time, it seems the DVD does go back in the snap holder properly, and it is no longer so difficult to remove the DVD from that point on.
There were several old reviews which complained of poor picture quality, but this is not the case with the DVD set I bought. The picture quality is absolutely great. I have to wonder if the folks who had poor quality might not have purchased knockoff copies rather than an original set as advertised?
Another person stated the episodes were missing scenes because they were less than sixty minutes. All of the episodes run about forty-seven minutes because each episode is shown without commercials. There is even an old interview with Vic Morrow where he is asked about making a one hour show each week, and Morrow corrects the interviewer and clearly tells him the shows actually are designed to have a run time of forty-seven minutes for the one hour time slot. This was also the case with the episodes when they were shown on the "Action Channel" which ran them without commercials. Each episode was almost exactly forty-seven minutes.
It was also noted the set does not have closed captioning, and I have found this to be true thus far. Another person said there is closed captioning, but it does not work if you use an HDMI cable instead of a three-wire cable to feed the TV. I have not tried a three-wire cable as yet, but I hope it does work because I find closed captioning useful at times. Remember, there was no closed captioning when this show was first aired.
One person noted there were a few episodes where the show just stopped at some point and would not continue. Another person said he was missing all the DVDs from one of the season's box. I also have had three episodes where the show just stopped, and I had to skip over a portion. I wrote to the vendor about the problem and received a prompt standardized reply. It listed some procedures to attempt to fix the problem by cleaning the disc. At the end of the letter, it clearly stated they would replace any discs that were truly defective, and I would assume they would also replace missing discs. Since the reply I received was a photocopy of a "How To" disc fix, I assume they do get some defective discs in a forty disc package. That does not bother me as long as they do replace the discs if they are truly defective.
Did I mention the shows in this DVD package have absolutely great picture quality? They really do, and I am truly enjoying the convenience of watching this great "Combat!" series with the convenience of DVDs. The next thing I would like to do is see if I can get them to show closed captioning, and then I would like to copy the shows to a hard drive that I can connect to a TV and watch them without having to switch DVDs.
I watched "Combat!" when it first aired. By the second season, I was married, and my wife and I watched each week with her brother (a WW2 infantry vet) and his wife. It remains my favorite TV show of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommend this DVD box set
Highly highly recommend this DVD box set! Vic Morrow, Rick Jason and company did a superb job with this five season series. Still feel that Morrow was one of the most underrated actors of his generation and sad that almost all of the great (main) actors in this show never graduated to bigger and better roles after this series, however there were several famous actors; starting and later stardom, that had cameo roles in various episodes that acted superbly. Having watched this disc set several times, am still fascinated by the creativity of the directors, producers and the writers with their great camera imagery and imagination filming this classic show.
Would like to give at least ten stars and two enthusiastic thumbs up for this great/classic series!!

GREAT series.. one disk was damaged, and this seller prefaced it within 3 days! Excellent depiction of WW2 action in the US Army in Europe, although set up with Hollywood extras for effects, and not totally accurate for machinery (P51 Mustang tricked out to be a Luftwaffe fighter and old US Army tanks tricked out to be German Panzers) this was a great series that I watched with my father every Wed night until his death, as he was a Sea Bee commander in the great WW2 in Europe.
ONE WORD.... EXCELLENT ACTION !!

Have not finished all 40 discs yet, whew!, but watching one a day without commercials is a joy. I remembered the series when I was 9-14 years old and it played a factor in my joining the Army as a combat arms armor officer. Not as polished as Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan (the Germans use WWII American halftracks and post-WWII American tanks, and for some strange reason WWI maxim machine guns instead of the Spandau superior machine gun) but given the limitations of the day completely succeed in depicting realistic combat. Use of stock black and white footage from the war is a nice touch. Just about every good actor in Hollywood appeared in the series as guest stars whether they had made their reputation yet or not. The episodes directed by Robert Altman are gems. I would like to know why the series ended after the fifth season. Was it related to the Vietnam War then escalating? A real tragedy is the untimely death of Vic Murrow sometime later, killed in a helicopter accident while filming an unrelated movie. He was, an would have been, a great actor, al la Audie Murphy, who also died prematurely (airplane crash I believe).

Grew up watching Combat on tv & grew up for the draft in the Vietnam War. They were showing Vic Morrow's Combat at certain Army bases in Vietnam by the Special Services, believe it or not. I put off buying it for yrs until I got my home theater set up & a video library of over 800 movie titles. Westerns are my favorites & I now have a complete war library of all time feature film classics & the few TV series China Beach, Rat Patrol,The Gallant Men. Finally got Combat .It came back on cable tv in the early 2000 yrs after 40 yrs. Can't find anymore on tv.

Q: Poisson Conditional Probability - Messages Received During Exams I came across a probability question.
"A student receives 6 WhatsApp messages per hour in average.  In a two-hour exam, if the student received 8 messages, what is the probability that the student received 2 messages in the first 30 minutes?".
Number of messages received per hour, k, follows a Poisson Distribution of Poi( λ = 6 messages per hour)
Here is my calculation:
$P_B$ = Prob (8 messages in 2 hours )= Poi (λ = 12 messages per 2 hours, k =8)
$$P_B = \frac{\lambda ^{k}e^{-\lambda }}{k!} = \frac{12^{8}e^{-12}}{8!}$$
$P_{A1}$ =  Prob (2 messages in 0.5 hours) = Poi ($λ_{A1}$ = 3 messages per 0.5 hours, k =2)
$$P_{A1} = \frac{\lambda_{A1} ^{k}e^{-\lambda_{A1} }}{k!} = \frac{3^{2}e^{-3}}{2!}$$
$P_{A2}$ =  Prob (8-2=6 messages in the last 1.5 hours) = Poi ($λ_{A2}$ = 9 messages per 1.5 hours, k =6)
$$P_{A2} = \frac{\lambda_{A2} ^{k}e^{-\lambda_{A2} }}{k!} = \frac{9^{6}e^{-9}}{6!}$$
Thus the absolute probability of the event E of "the student received 2 messages in first 30 minutes and then 6 messages in the next 90 mins" is:
$$ P_{abs}(E) = P_{A1}*P_{A2} $$
And conditional probability, of the event "E", given that condition of "B" happened that she/he received 8 messages in 2 hours, i.e. 120 minutes, should be:
$$ P(E|B) = \frac{P(A1\bigcap A2)}{P(B)} = \frac{P_{A1}*P_{A2}}{P(B)} $$
However, given Event B (8 message in 2 hours) and also given Event A1 (2 messages in first 30 minutes), it implies already Event A2 ( 8-2 = 6 messages, in the last 90 minutes).  Thus $P_{A2}$ is already implied by $P_B$ and $P_{A1}$.
Then one can argue that, given B, A1 and A2 are the same event, the actually conditional probability be:
$$ P(E|B) = \frac{P(A1\bigcap A2)}{P(B)} = \frac{P_{A1}}{P(B)} $$
or maybe, event A1 already implied by (Event B AND Event A2) :
$$ P(E|B) = \frac{P(A1\bigcap A2)}{P(B)} = \frac{P_{A2}}{P(B)} $$
Or we can think it this way:   Prob (2 messages in first 30 minutes, given that total 8 messages in 2 hours) = Prob ( 6 messages in the last 90 minutes of the exam),  then the answer is simply $P_{A2}$.  Right?
Anyone can help me find the right answer to this question?
Regards
$Alex$

A: Your denominator is fine.
The numerator is $P(E \cap B)$. You have noted that $E \cap B = A_1 \cap A_2$, so $P(E \cap B) = P(A_1 \cap A_2) = P(A_1) P(A_2)$. That is all.
You cannot say that $P(A_1 \cap A_2) = P(A_1)$. I think you are perhaps thinking of $P(A_1 \cap A_2 \cap B) = P(A_1 \cap B)$, but this is something entirely different.

A: Here's another approach that illustrates a technique you may find useful when solving other problems on Poisson Processes. This approach relies on the following key fact:
The distribution of the arrival time of the $j^{\text{th}}$ WhatsApp message conditioned on the event that $8$ messages have been received is equivalent to the distribution $j^{\text{th}}$ order statistic of $8$ iid $\mathcal{U}[0,2]$ random variables.
In other words, you're asked to compute $\mathbb{P}(X_{(2)}\leq 0.5,X_{(3)}>0.5)$ where $X_1,...,X_8$ are iid $\mathcal{U}[0,2]$. Calculating such a probability requires the determination of the pdf for the bivariate random variable $\big(X_{(2)},X_{(3)}\big)$ which we'll call $f$.
To do this, first notice the distribution of $X_{(3)}$ given $X_{(2)}=x\in[0,2]$ is exactly distribution of the minimum of $6$ iid $\mathcal{U}[x,2]$ random variables whose pdf is readily calculated to be $$f_{X_{(3)}|X_{(2)}}(y|x)=\frac{6(2-y)^5}{(2-x)^6} \cdot 1_{[x,2]}$$
Next, for each $j=1,...,8$ define $I_j=1$ iff $X_j\leq x$ and $I_j=0$ otherwise. Put $I=I_1+ \dots + I_8$. Then $I\sim \text{Binomial}\Big(8,\frac{x}{2}\Big)$ and $\{X_{(2)}>x\}=\{I=0,1\}$. We get $$\begin{eqnarray*}\mathbb{P}(X_{(2)}\leq x) &=& 1- \mathbb{P}(X_{(2)}>x) \\ &=& 1- \mathbb{P}(I=0)-\mathbb{P}(I=1) \\ &=& 1- \Big(1-\frac{x}{2}\Big)^8 - 8 \Big(\frac{x}{2}\Big) \Big(1-\frac{x}{2}\Big)^7 \\ &=& \Big(\frac{x}{2}-1\Big)^7 \Big(\frac{7x}{2}+1\Big)\end{eqnarray*}$$ Taking a derivative yields the pdf of $X_{(2)}$. $$f_{X_{(2)}}(x)=\frac{7}{32}x(2-x)^6 \cdot 1_{[0,2]}$$ So the joint pdf of $\Big(X_{(2)},X_{(3)}\Big)$ (which we originally called $f$) is $$f(x,y)=f_{X_{(3)}|X_{(2)}}(y|x)f_{X_{(2)}}(x)=\frac{21}{16}x(2-y)^5\cdot 1_{S}$$ Finally, $$\mathbb{P}(X_{(2)}\leq 0.5,X_{(3)}>0.5)=\int_{1/2}^2 \int_0^{1/2}f(x,y)\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y=\frac{5103}{16384}$$
