Plane Truth: Why This Airport Is Breaking Its Own News
By Dean Essner
[blue sky]
When a mainstream news outlet allocates reporters, resources and publication space to an article on the travel industry nowadays, it's often because a crisis is involved — whether it's a passenger getting dragged off a flight or a pet dying in an airplane overhead storage bin.
However, these crisis-related pieces encompass only a small portion of what's happening in the travel, tourism and aviation industries. There are other, less-sensationalized stories playing out as well, but because publications often don't possess the bandwidth to explore them, they aren't getting covered.
"The media landscape is continuing to change," says Bob Kerlik, vice president of media relations at Pittsburgh International Airport. "Newsrooms across the country are continuing to shrink with less and less resources. We see this as both a necessity and an opportunity to begin telling our stories and stories within the industry."
In response this past November, Kerlik, a former transportation reporter for The Pittsburgh Tribune Review, and the Pittsburgh International Airport launched Blue Sky — an in-house news service where the airport can break its own stories and not have to rely on the media reach of other publications.
"It's about getting more information to the public, direct and unfiltered," says Kerlik, who worked with Ragan Consulting Group to get the initiative started. "We want to be the trusted source of airport and aviation news."
Citing in-house publications launched by Coca-Cola, Disney and American Express as sources of inspiration, Kerlik wrote, in an article introducing Blue Sky to the public, that the site's stories will cover specific, yet universal topics for any frequent traveler — such as what happens to luggage after it's dropped off at the ticketing counter and the future of airport modernization.
Other recurring Blue Sky subjects will range from developments about the Pittsburgh International Airport to updates and insights into the world of aviation.
Taking off with owned media
From a communications perspective, Blue Sky's creation is noteworthy in that it reflects a PR strategy based on owned media — and not earned. In other words, rather than pitching publications on the happenings of Pittsburgh International Airport, the airport is using its own platform and staff members to break the news itself.
However, Blue Sky won't just be a place for airport press releases and sponsored content. Rather, Kerlik wants the news service to abide by journalistic protocols, saying the publication will "hold daily news budget meetings and follow an editorial process like a newsroom."
He also suggests that a podcast may be in the works, but that hasn't materialized quite yet. At the moment, the immediate goal for Blue Sky is just to cultivate an audience and share fascinating, non-catastrophic air travel stories.
"In the short term, we hope to increase the airport's media reach," says Kerlik. "But as the media landscape continues to shift and traditional media continues to shrink, our goal is to become the source of news that people go to for aviation trends, airport news and great storytelling."

Often when I come into a situation that is unknown or unfamiliar, I notice that my first impulse is to feel fearful. This does seem to be a fairly common response to the unknown aspects of life. It takes consciously slowing down on my part, taking that deep breath and remembering what my intention is. I may even ask for protection or remind myself that It is Safe to be in the Unknown.

Marine One, the Presidential helicopter, lands on the White House South Lawn.
"Weather Call"
CNN Senior Photojournalist Peter Morris
In White House speak; a "weather call" is an official determination if it is safe for the President to fly on Marine One or Air Force One during adverse weather conditions. Heavy rain, sleet, snow, lightning, and most often dense fog can ground the specially equipped Presidential aircraft. A "weather call" is a thumb up or thumb down decision based on the current weather conditions and the safety of using aircraft to transport the President and White House staff.
One rule of thumb at the White House, if officials cannot see the tip of the Washington Monument from the White House, Marine One will not land or take off from the South Lawn. The President is usually forced to take a lengthy motorcade ride to his destination.

White House diverts Marine One – and raises questions
CNN White House Producer Alexander Mooney
President Barack Obama left for Camp David on Marine One Friday but, in a twist that has left some White House reporters scratching their heads, he apparently arrived at the presidential retreat by car.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained the decision not to land at Camp David was made in advance because of the weather. Marine One landed at an alternate site near Frederick, Maryland and the president and his daughter, Sasha, rode in a motorcade the rest of way to the compound.
Because it is customary practice that the traveling press pool is included whenever the president uses a motorcade, reporters naturally wondered why the pool was not part of the trip or even informed that the president would use a motorcade ahead of time.
Meanwhile, CNN's weather team found no signs of stormy weather in the area at the time Marine One departed the White House.
The White House said there were no mechanical issues with the presidential helicopter.
"It was a bit of a surprise because he (Obama) usually does not land here. They usually go all the way to Camp David," said Kristy Rossignuolo, a customer service representative at the Frederick Municipal Airport.
Also Friday, a fighter under the direction of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) intercepted an aircraft in the vicinity of Camp David. The civilian aircraft left the restricted area and landed at the Martinsburg Airport in West Virginia, NORAD said.
No other details were immediately available on the incident, which was separate from the decision to divert Marine One.

Friday fun: Catching a ride on Marine One

We can all remember a time when driving around in our family's wheels was considered social suicide. And depending on what generation you grew up in, it could have been a dusty old pick-up truck, a velour-seated station wagon or, dare we say it, a mini-van (gasp!) If only we had been members of the first family. Pampered pups, Hawaiian vacations and college move-ins are only some of the perks for the presidential peeps while aboard the well-known Marine One chopper. So Mr. President, when is it our turn to take a ride?

The attorneys at Slappey & Sadd are experienced medical malpractice attorneys who have a long history of representing women whose children are born with birth defects. If it turns out that the baby's birth defect or subsequent medical condition was caused by a doctor's failure to diagnose it, the doctor may be liable for the injury. If you believe that your baby's birth defect could have been prevented with proper diagnosis, we will fight to help you obtain the compensation you deserve. We serve the entire state of Georgia, including Atlanta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs.
Failure to diagnose is a form of medical malpractice that occurs when a doctor's failure to correctly diagnose a patient's illness results in injury to the patient. As a result of failure to diagnose, the patient does not get necessary medical care or treatment and thus suffers a more serious illness, injury, or even death. Occasionally, failure to diagnose can also include a doctor's failure to spot a birth defect during pregnancy that causes the birth defect to present more serious future health-issues for the child than if the doctor had spotted and treated the birth defect earlier.
Maternal blood screen: This test measures the levels of certain proteins in the mother's blood. If the protein levels are abnormally high or low, the baby could have a chromosomal disorder.
Ultrasound: An ultrasound takes pictures of the baby and can detect the presence of extra fluid behind the baby's neck. If the ultrasound discovers increased fluid, the baby could have a chromosomal disorder or heart defect.
Maternal Serum Screen: A maternal serum screen is a simple blood test that's used to identify whether a woman is at increased risk for having a baby with certain birth defects, including neural tube defects or chromosomal disorders, such as Down Syndrome.
Anomaly ultrasound: This is a specific ultrasound that is performed later in the pregnancy to check the baby's size and to look for birth defects or other health issues.
Any of these screening tests can occasionally provide abnormal results even when there is nothing wrong with the mother or her baby. Alternatively, screening tests can provide normal results even if there is an existing problem.
The doctor owed you and your baby a legal duty of care. This duty requires that the doctor have the medical knowledge and skills required of a reasonably competent physician who practices the same type of medicine.
The doctor breached that duty, which can be illustrated by a mistake such as failing to timely diagnose a birth defect.
Your baby suffered some type of harm or injury, which can be shown by the existence of a birth defect or subsequent injury or by the worsening of the birth defect.
The doctor's mistake caused your baby's injury or harm—that is, the harm would not have occurred but for the doctor's error.
If you believe that your baby's birth defect or subsequent medical condition was caused by your doctor's failure to diagnose, it's a good idea to have an Atlanta medical malpractice attorney review your case.

Activities of French companies in Crimea investigated
The Prosecutor's Office of Crimea received an appeal from the People's Deputy of Ukraine Goncharenko on the activities of companies from France in the occupied Crimea.
KYIV (QHA) -
The Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea received an appeal from People's Deputy of Ukraine Aleksey Goncharenko regarding the information on the official websites of French companies Peugeot and Auchan dealers about offices in the occupied Crimea, the press service of the Prosecutor's Office reported.
The data entered in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations and criminal proceedings were initiated on the basis of the criminal offense under Part 1 of Art. 332-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violating the order of entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine).
The investigation is going to establish the legality of the goods supply to the territory of Crimea in accordance with the requirements of the law and take measures in case of violations.
Inquiries will be forwarded to the main offices of these companies to resolve the issue of locating car dealers and stores in the occupied peninsula.
Materials of criminal proceedings, pursuant to Part 2 of Art. 12 of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens and Legal Regime in the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine" were submitted to the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine to determine the jurisdiction.
Earlier, QHA reported that in September 2016 Reuters investigated the illegal supply of goods to the occupied Crimea from the companies "Auchan" and "Metro". It was noted that the goods were delivered to the Crimean shops from Russia through the Kerch ferry crossing.

For many, turning to that first blank page of a new calendar at the start of the year is exciting. Turning to the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) calendar, you can find it already filled up with meetings, webinars, conferences, and events for the first quarter of 2019 and beyond!
It has become a great resource for North Carolina's disability community, and aims to be a one-stop for information you may be seeking. If you know of an upcoming event that we should share, use our easy contact form to drop us a note.
In addition, the NCCDD website offers "Action Alerts" to let you know when important government and public policies are being written and discussed. Your input and experience are needed. We encourage you to check back often for new alerts and how you can help.
Finally, we are beginning the third year of our Five-Year Plan. This excellent road map serves as a guide, helping the Council to maintain focus on what people across North Carolina have told us are the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Check out the Five-Year Plan and let us know how we can help you wherever you live and/or work in this state.
Looking forward to connecting with you in the New Year to serve North Carolina and individuals with I/DD and their families!
NCCDD's Rethinking Guardianship: A Person-Centered Approach initiative aims to further the work and extend the reach of NCCDD's three-year Rethinking Guardianship: Building a Case for Less Restrictive Alternatives initiative so that all stakeholders in the guardianship system are educated about guardianship, less restrictive alternatives to guardianship, best practices, and proposed changes to North Carolina's guardianship statutes.
To carry out this aim, the initiative is hosting a two-part Summit.Part one occurred on November 30 in Greensboro.
Approximately 40 individuals participated, including members of the Rethinking Guardianship Workgroup and Steering Committee and Clerks of the Superior Court from across North Carolina. Linda Kendall Fields of the Jordan Institute for Families at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill facilitated the meeting; and Raj Premakumar of the North Carolina Department of Justice facilitated an activity where attendees split into seven groups to discuss the benefits and challenges of seven different topics identified as the most important for this initiative to focus on. These topics included the requirement for considering alternatives to guardianship; changing the language of the current statute; and improving the quality, consistency and availability of multidisciplinary evaluations (MDEs).
Part two will occur in Raleigh at the JC Raulston Arboretum at North Carolina State University on Monday, February 25 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Attendees will learn about progress being made with adult guardianship in North Carolina, hear from Erica Wood of the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging and hear from people whose lives have been impacted by guardianship. Anyone interested in this initiative or improvements to North Carolina's guardianship system is invited to attend. There is no cost, but registration is required.
NCCDD is supporting this initiative through a partnership with Money Follows the Person (MFP) and the Transitions to Community Living Initiative (TCLI) to encourage more guardians to support individuals with disabilities who live in long-term residential facilities to transition into a less restrictive setting with less restrictive decision-making constraints.
With the new year under way and new Council members joining NCCDD, we thought it would be a great time to share what the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) does, how it operates and the work it does for people with I/DD across the State.
Council Member Brendon Hildreth and his mom Darcy participate in the beach event hosted by NCCDD in 2017. NCCDD is comprised of 40 members, appointed by the Governor of North Carolina, to represent and serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in our state. People from different backgrounds and experiences are appointed to share unique perspectives and drive innovative programs across the state to advance independence, employment, education and more.
In addition, the Council approves and guides the contracts and initiatives that work to bring systems change to North Carolina. Learn about NCCDD's Initiatives. Get to know your Council members whose work is changing the lives of people with I/DD throughout the state. The list of members is available on the NCCDD website, and we encourage you reach out to us at info@nccdd.org to connect with them.

Hypoparathyroidism, a severe disease resulting from insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) to maintain normal circulating calcium levels, affects over 80,000 patients in the US. It is associated with a large spectrum of symptoms, including mild to debilitating neuromuscular irritability, as well as neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations, due to low blood calcium levels.
AZP-3601 is a unique PTH analog designed specifically for PTH replacement therapy in hypoparathyroidism by academic partners at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. AZP-3601 potently interacts with a specific configuration of the PTH receptor that results in prolonged activation and effect on calcium metabolism. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that AZP-3601 is far more effective and longer-acting than natural PTH in increasing and maintaining circulating calcium levels without increasing urinary calcium excretion.
It is anticipated that the unique mechanism of action of AZP-3601 will translate into an enhanced safety and efficacy profile, and will make it a best-in-class therapy for treatment of this rare, but severe, endocrine disorder.
AZP-3404 is the first compound to harness the biology of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding-Protein 2 (IGFBP-2), a physiological protein with key regulatory effects on glucose metabolism that are independent from its IGF-binding properties.
Alizé Pharma 3 and its academic partners at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Maine have identified and optimized short peptide fragments of IGFBP-2 that retain its biological activities. AZP-3404 is a stabilized analog of one of these IGFBP-2 fragments with an improved pharmacokinetic profile. As a result, AZP-3404 is highly potent in restoring glucose control in preclinical models, including models of severe insulin resistance.
Based on its pharmacological profile, AZP-3404 is set to become a first-in-class therapy for the treatment of syndromes of severe insulin resistance, that include a range of rare diseases associated with high mortality and morbidity.

Culture Night will be celebrated across Co. Kildare on Friday 18th September. Between 5-8pm the Bog of Allen Nature Centre will be taking part in this fantastic initiative by opening its doors for free for members of the public to come and explore our peatland heritage and its association with the 'ways of old' in the peatland exhibition centres traditional Irish kitchen.
The fire was the heart of an Irish home offering warmth, light in the evenings and a means of cooking food. With nostalgia many of us look back at this time with fond memories. However baking and cooking food over a fire was a skill, if the fire was too hot the food would burn and not enough heat would leave food undercooked. Join the Irish Peatland Conservation Council and discover how a dough made from simple ingredients of floor and buttermilk baked over the fire in an iron bastible pot provided Irish families with a delicious cake of soda bread.
Those taking part in culture night at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre can also expect guided tours of the peatland exhibition and wildlife gardens. No day on the bog would be complete without a cup of tea and slice of soda bread and jam so join the Irish Peatland Conservation Council and remember family life before electricity and share your memories of traditional living with younger members of our community today.
Culture Night is supported by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in partnership with RTE Supporting the Arts and Kildare County Council.

Candidates working with hazardous materials please read the following. If you have any questions please notify The Alpha Group's Human Resources department.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration maintains a list of highly toxic and hazardous chemicals found in work environments that can affect employee health. OSHA requires the manufacturers of these substances to develop safety labels and Material Data Safety Sheets that outline safety measures for exposure. Employers are expected to maintain a binder for employee review that contains these safety sheets on each hazardous substance used on site.
Biological Hazards Biological hazards pose a serious risk to human life. Pathogens such as bacteria, plasmids, fungi, viruses and parasites -- and the toxins that they make -- are all biological hazards. OSHA details the standards that employers must enforce to protect workers on the job from biological hazards. This could include recommendations for immunizations, gloves and facemasks as well as avoiding contact with blood or bodily fluids.
Compressed Gas Gases expand when they are exposed to heat. When compressed gases such as helium and oxygen are exposed to heat higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit while stored at a pressure that exceeds 40 pounds per square inch, they expand and can blow out of their containers, causing massive collateral damage and fatal accidents.
Corrosive Chemicals Corrosive chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid and very strong basic chemicals such as lye can burn or eat away at human flesh and inorganic materials such as steel. Corrosive substances cause irreversible harm and physical damage to the surfaces they meet. OSHA keeps a list of corrosive chemicals and the standards for using them.
Flammable Materials Liquids or solids that ignite at 100 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and those that ignite or catch on fire easily and can sustain the fire, or keep burning once they do combust, are considered flammable materials. Some flammable materials emit toxic gases and smoke into the air when they catch fire and are detrimental to human health. Flammable materials and liquids include aerosols, nitromethane, acetone, isopropanol, ethanol, gasoline, natural gas, propane and butane.
· Chemical substances that are harmful and can make people sick when they are exposed to them are considered moderate poisons. Small amounts of exposure can make people sick, but generally, contact with them is not fatal. Moderate poisons include materials such as lead, vinyl chloride and heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury and cadmium.
· Radioactive materials such as radon, radium, uranium, plutonium and thorium are metals that emit radiation. Radiation kills off living cells in the human body. Too much exposure to radiation can make people ill, or give them radiation poisoning. Overexposure to radiation can be fatal. If the person who is overexposed does not die right away, he can develop cancer or other health complications that can take his life.
· OSHA lists severe poisons as chemical substances that cause critical or grave reactions in the human body. Generally, exposure to a small amount of the severe poison is required for it to be deadly. Severe poisonous materials include hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen cyanide, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, cyanide and nitriles.


An ARC News Service report on the decision of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority 's (YDNPA) planning committee on February 12 to lift a section 52 agreement on a barn conversion in Hawkswick near Kettlewell.
"I don't see … that we as a planning committee are here to cause stress, upset and pain to our residents for deeds done in the past," commented Nick Thwaite when the members discussed the application by two families in Hawkswick to lift the section 52 agreement on their homes.
Usually he supported the officers but this time he couldn't because he believed this had been an unfair restriction. Like other members he referred to the fact that in the early 1990s a strict local occupancy agreement had been imposed on one barn conversion but not on another nearby.
Craven District Coun John Roberts was also upset by this inconsistency and described the section 52 agreement as draconian and undemocratic because it not only restricted the sale of either of the two dwellings created in Hazel Head Barn to someone working within a 10 mile radius which excluded Skipton but was also very difficult to lodge an appeal against.
Graham Dalton and Chris Armitage argued that the officer's recommendation not to lift the agreement should be accepted because the precedent set could endanger the Authority's Local Plan policy of building up a reserve of "local need" housing. Armitage warned that by lifting the agreement the committee could blow a hole in that policy. And Dalton pointed out that the policy was aimed at sustaining the communities in the Yorkshire Dales rather than seeing the villages full of second homes and weekend cottages.
For Ann Brooks the injustice of one family having to sign such an agreement while another in the same village didn't need to, made the situation at Hazel Head Barn an exceptional circumstance at that particular time.
Craven Dt Coun Robert Heseltine, who was the chairman of both the National Park committee and its planning committee in the early 1990s explained that the Interim Housing Policy at that time pioneered the concept of local need housing. It had not, however, been accepted by the Secretary of State. "It wasn't discredited – it was an evolving policy," he said.
N Yorks County Coun Roger Harrison-Topham commented that in the early 1990's the Authority hadn't had a policy. "It was the sort of Wild West era. There was a strong element of random walk of what went on – so it comes as no surprise that there were these contradictions and perceptions of unfairness. Do we say 'rough justice' or do we take the view that rough justice is not justice?" He wasn't sure what precedent would be made by lifting the agreement but felt that it was important to get things right.
There were, however, others who had suffered a similar injustice at that time warned N Yorks County Coun John Blackie. "Officers are bound to want to hang on to those Section 52 agreements. I commend them for their stance – but I think they are defending what is probably indefensible. They are standing their ground on shifting sands because the policy base ….is not sustainable." He, like the majority of the committee, felt it was time to lift the agreement on Hazel Head Barn.
The officer's recommendation was, therefore, turned down and immediately Coun Roberts proposed that the Section 52 agreement should be discharged. The senior legal officer, Clare Bevan, explained that this could be done because the majority of members put more weight on the perceived unfairness and the personal circumstances of the applicants. The applicants' planning advisor, Andrew Moss of WardHadaway, had pointed out that in the officers' report it had been noted that unfairness and personal circumstances were matters which could be taken into account. The majority voted in favour of Coun Roberts' proposal and Bevan said that a formal deed of release would be drawn up.
The applicants, Mick and Ginette Hawkins and Michelle Pickles were stunned and ecstatic that after 20 long, stressful years their pleas for the Section 52 to be lifted had finally been heard.


All designs come in the following formats: DST, EXP, JEF, PES and either HUS or VP3 (older designs come in HUS, newer one's in VP3), but if none of these work for you, just shoot me a message and I can convert to any format that you need.
Tip #2: When stitching free-standing lace (FSL), if you are using two layers of water-soluble stabilizer (WSS), layer them with the grain up-and-down on one and side-to-side on the second layer.
In my experience, the fabric-like water-soluble stabilizers (H2O-gone, Aqua Magic, Wet 'n Gone) work much better for free-standing lace then the plastic-film-type stabilizer (Sulky Solvy).

Hamilton Robotics
Promega Corp.
Nucleic acid prep market
RENO, Nevada—With a plan to launch their new system later this year, Hamilton Robotics and Promega Corp. announced in late August that they will collaborate in the development of an automated system for the isolation of genomic DNA (gDNA) from large-volume blood samples.
Although it is true that life science research has seen a recent "overall trend toward miniaturization," notes Rick Luedke, product manager for Hamilton Robotics, several genetic analysis applications require the ability to isolate DNA from large sample volumes. Automated large-volume liquid handling poses specific challenges that Hamilton has been able to address, Luedke notes, most recently with the introduction of its 5ml independent pipetting channels and 5ml disposable tips for the MICROLAB STAR platform.
So, the collaboration will be based on Hamilton's MICROLAB STAR liquid handling technology and on Promega's systems and reagents, with a goal of this new product offering increasing throughput for large-volume applications such as biobanking, pharmacogenomics and genetic research.
Promega's new methods, which will be part of the work of this collabration employ next-generation technology and novel chemistry, says Jeff Briganti, strategic marketing manager for Promega. This allows for "a more robust automated process with increased recovery, higher concentration and enhanced purity of gDNA isolated from large-volume blood samples compared to previous automated techniques."
Hamilton found Promega to be the right collaborator for this task in large part because "Promega is a recognized leader in innovative systems and chemistries for molecular biology applications and we have automated a number of their top-selling products," Luedke says, noting that the company has some 2,000 products on the market to enable scientists worldwide to advance their knowledge in genomics, proteomics, cellular analysis, molecular diagnostics and human identification.
"We're pleased to work with them on a solution that addresses key bottlenecks in large-volume genomic DNA extraction," Luedke says.
Looking at why Hamilton was the right partner at the right time, Briganti points out that Hamilton's air displacement pipetting technology offers "a number of unique advantages over other robotics systems."
Also, he adds, "We have already successfully collaborated with them to create and optimize automated protocols for several applications. This collaboration takes the relationship one step further toward the co-development of an entire system."
One of the most recent optimization collaborations between the two companies took place just a few months ago, with the June 17 announcement of a tested and verified protocol for automation of the Promega Wizard SV 96 Plasmid DNA Purification System. Developed in collaboration with Promega, the new high-throughput method purifies DNA from pelleted bacterial culture samples using Hamilton's MICROLAB STAR workstation and processes up to 96 plasmid samples in 30 minutes or less, reportedly with consistent results and no detectable cross-contamination.
The purified plasmid can be used directly for automated fluorescent DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion and other downstream molecular biology processes.

Q: Storing list of generic class of derived objects For example, how do I store a list of DataContainers that all use types that derive from the same base class.
public class Animal {}
public class Cat : Animal {}
public class Dog : Animal {}
public class DataContainer <TData> where TData : Animal {
    TData innerObject = new TData ();
    public TData GetData () {
        return innerObject;
    }
}

public class DataManager {
    static void Main () {
        DataContainer<Cat> CatData = new DataContainer<Cat> ();
        DataContainer<Dog> DogData = new DataContainer<Dog> ();
        var AnimalData = new List<DataContainer<Animal>> ();
        AnimalData.Add (CatData);
        AnimalData.Add (DogData);
        for (int i = 0; i < AnimalData.Count; i++) {
            Animal animal = AnimalData[i].GetData ();
        }
    }
}

If it's not possible with a generic class, could it be possible with Arrays?
Edit: Getting this error: ArrayTypeMismatchException: Source array type cannot be assigned to destination array type. This causes an ArrayTypeMismatchException:
public interface IDataContainer <out TData> where TData : Animal {

}
public class DataContainer <TData> : IDataContainer<TData> where TData : Animal {

}

public class Tester () {
    static void Main () {
        var AnimalData = new List<DataContainer<Animal>> ();
        var CatData = new DataContainer<Cat> ();
        AnimalData.Add (CatData as IDataContainer<Animal>); //Error
    }
}

Run in Unity 5.2

A: The issue is that you need your generic class to have a covariant type parameter.
You can only do this on interfaces, so create one:
public interface IDataContainer <out TData> where TData : Animal
{
    TData GetData ();
}

Note the use of out to mark TData as covariant. Now have your DataContainer class implement the interface, and when you hold onto a reference in the client code, make sure its an IDataContainer. Now it should let you store it as you expected.
Do note that covariant interfaces have special requirements, namely that the generic type parameter can not be used as the argument type for any of the methods (see the MSDN link for more).

Council Talks BCYC Lease, Santa Claus
December 2, 2020 by Laura Mulrooney
Photo by Laura Mulrooney.
It was a relatively full house at the Catherine Hickman Theater for the Tuesday, December 1 Gulfport City Council meeting, yet there was only one item on the agenda – renewal of the Boca Ciega Yacht Club lease.
BCYC members of the past and present filled the seats and nearly the entire two-hour meeting with commentary on why the club is essential to the community.
Due to ongoing legal matters, the BCYC and the City of Gulfport have been unable to negotiate a new lease. This forced the city to wait until the last minute to decide whether council would approve BCYC's continued use of the waterfront property where the club has resided since the 1960s.
Council's decision turned out to be a cliffhanger.
After a short discussion and many questions, council directed City Manager Jim O'Reilly and City Attorney Andrew Salzman to draft a month-by-month agreement for BCYC to remain in place until the conclusion of the active litigation.
Council did not discuss the details of the agreement as they have yet to be decided.
Mayor Sam Henderson made a point to assure residents that Sea Scouts, the youth sailing program BCYC oversees, will still have a home in the community, even if the city does not agree to a longer lease for the club.
"The city is going to support the Sea Scouts as long as there are people willing to do it; we have options to do that," Henderson said. "That's not something that will go away."
Santa is Going to Rock and Roll Through Town
That's right, Mrs. Claus has cleared Santa to travel to Gulfport, Monday, December 7 at 6 p.m.
"I got a phone call the other day: Santa is coming to town," Gulfport Fire Inspector James Lundh said.
Gulfport's finest first responders – the Gulfport Police Department and Gulfport Fire Rescue – will escort Santa atop his vintage fire engine in a parade through Gulfport.
The parade will start at Clymer Park and wind it's way through the city's four wards before ending back where it started. See full map and more information here.
City of Gulfport Holiday Decorating Contest
In preparation for Santa's visit, the City of Gulfport encourages residents and businesses to decorate their homes and storefronts for the City of Gulfport's Holiday Decorating Contest.
Apparently, Santa enjoys a good ol' friendly competition.
Residents can pick up applications at the Gulfport Recreation Center, 5730 Shore Blvd. S. The applications must be returned no later than noon, Wednesday, December 16. Call 727-893-1068 for more information.
Bike Trails Near Completion
Gulfport Public Works Director Tom Nicholls announced that the Osgood Point Bike Trail and the extended county bike lane are open and ready for use.
Gulfport's Osgood Point Bike Trail runs north and south of Gulfport with easy access from Gulfport Boulevard, 55th Street and 58th Street near 23rd Avenue South.
"I had a chance to ride both of those trails in the last week," said Henderson. "It's a great town for biking."
According to Nicholls, a few more signs and pavement markings need to be placed to complete the project.
Pier Reopening Update
As of Wednesday, November 25 folks are back to fishing and promenading on Gulfport's Bert and Walter Williams Pier, which closed in July for its first major overhaul since opening in 1987.
While a few non-safety related items, such as paving and lighting, are still in the works, inspectors gave the city a thumbs up to reopen. Due to contractor, holiday and weather delays, paving around the pier has not been completed.
According to Nicholls, paving should pick back up in two weeks, and the city is hopeful the project will be fully finished, including lighting, in the first weeks of January.
Council Talks Mental Health
The holidays can be hard for many people, and this year has been especially cruel.
Councilmember Christine Brown asked O'Reilly if the city could regularly post available mental health and drug addiction services on the city's website and social media.
"Let's not forget about the first responders that respond to these calls," said Brown. "What they go through – emotionally, physically and mentally – it's hard on them."
"The holiday season is typically the toughest season mentally for people and of course, now we have COVID, which makes it even worse," Councilmember Paul Ray said. "I just hope that everybody pays attention to family members and neighbors during this period of time, because depression isn't always very noticeable, but it is treatable."
Residents can expect a PSA on this from the mayor soon.
Overheards at the December 1 Gulfport City Council Meeting
"Who investigates discrimination in the City of Gulfport and are they asleep at the wheel?" – Resident Ray Rodriguez during open public comment.
"All of us must do some deep introspection because the road moving forward is dangerous. Decisions tonight will reflect how this council, this democratic republic body, contrasts with the greater democratic republic in which we all live." – Resident Richard Fried during open public comment.
"My job is to look out for the city, for our liability and for what we can be put at risk for." – Mayor Sam Henderson during BCYC lease discussions.
"I did have COVID, but I don't have COVID now." – Henderson during council comments, announcing that his last COVID-19 test came back negative.

Film Review: Bridesmaids (2011)
Paul Feig's film Bridesmaids arrives amidst a flurry of hype that proclaims it to be not only an uproariously funny comedy, but also a feminist cause celebre which it is every woman's duty to see, lest they lose the right to vote. Hyperbolic, perhaps, but not a million miles away from the tone of some of the more fevered reviews of the film, which are more or less hailing it as a new dawn for women in comedy. It is understandable, since we live in an age in which Kate Hudson is still working, so to find a film centred on a group of women which is well-written, heartfelt and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny is nothing short of miraculous.
Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a woman in state of personal and professional crisis. She's working at a job that she hates because her bakery, a business which she put her heart and soul into, closed down on account of the harsh economic conditions; she is involved with a man (an uncredited, and very funny, Jon Hamm) who has no interest in making their relationship about anything other than sex and next to no interest in Annie as a person; and her mother (the late Jill Clayburgh) keeps asking her if she will move out of her apartment to come and live with her. Things reach a crisis point when Annie's best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) tells her that she is getting married, and Annie discovers that Lillian has a new friend named Helen (Rose Byrne) who is richer and prettier than her and seems intent on upstaging her at every possible opportunity.
Whilst watching Bridesmaids, I couldn't help but compare it to the Sex and the City films, particularly the inexecrable second instalment, and wonder at how Bridesmaids is in many ways the film that fans of the Sex and the City TV series hoped they would get when Carrie et al. moved to the big screen. It's an ensemble cast of women being funny (and let's nix all talk of gender divides right here and now; Bridesmaids is funny regardless of whether you're XX or XY) whilst dealing with real problems, rather than just empty lifestyle porn about shrill, soulless harpies. The engine of the film is Annie's friendship with Lillian and the feelings of fear and inadequacy that arise as Annie starts to feel that her best friend is going to leave her behind whilst her life is stuck in a rut. The feeling of being stuck in neutral whilst all around you seem to be speeding by is one that most people will experience at some point in their lives, so it's not difficult for us to sympathise with Annie as she grows increasingly more frustrated by Helen's relentless campaign of passive-aggressiveness. She just wants to do right by Lillian, but she does not have the means to compete.
Although the film is an ensemble piece - with Rose Byrne being a great foil for everyone around her and Melissa McCarthy diving headfirst into a fearlessly filthy role as a fellow bridesmaid - it is primarily a showcase for Kristen Wiig's considerable talents. (Which is hardly surprising since she co-wrote the screenplay.) Wiig is a great physical comedian in both a big and a small sense. She can do big, goofy things like try to lift a giant cookie and fail miserably, and the film finds plenty of opportunities for her to do just that, but most of the best jokes in the film often come from the expressions that she pulls in response to everything going on around her. The script is full of great moments in which she quietly undercuts the ridiculousness of what someone else is saying, as well as big scenes, such as one in which she gets drunk on a plane, that allow her to be a bit more outrageous. She also gets a genuinely sweet little romantic subplot with Chris O'Dowd as a highway patrolman that is funny, charming and, at times, just a little bit heartbreaking. It's great to finally see her land a role that suits her particular sensibilities, even if it was one that she had to write herself.
The variety of humour on display in Bridesmaids is what makes it feel so refreshing in comparison to most comedies. There are moments of quiet character interaction, and their are moments of very broad physical comedy. There are scenes in which Wiig and Byrne square off with each other as each tries to be more subtly passive-aggressive than the other, and there are scenes of fairly crass toilet humour. Not every kind of humour worked for me - I really could have done without the scene in which various members of cast suffer the effects of food poisoning - but I really admire the fact that the film tries to appeal to the widest possible audience by providing a little something for everyone, rather than just aiming for the lowest common denominator. It doesn't think that its audience is too dumb to understand all the little character moments, nor does it feel that it is above a fart joke here or there.
Most importantly, Bridesmaids is a film that has heart, and one that seems to actually care about its characters. Like the best Judd Apatow productions, the film feels inclusive, and you get the sense that the lives of even the most minor characters could continue as separate films after the main feature ends, and that they would still be entertaining and interesting. Even Helen, who is a pretty awful human being in a lot of ways, gets moments that indicate why she is the way that she is, and which suggest that she might have her own problems. By the time that the film ends, you feel as if you have gotten to know these characters and there is something really uplifting about seeing them come together for Lillian's wedding. Yet unlike a lot of films of this genre, it doesn't end by saying that everything is going to be alright, that Annie will open another bakery and be a success, that she will find love with someone who isn't a total dick, or that she and Helen will be friends, but it merely leave those things as tantalising possibilities. At their best, Apatow productions convey the open-ended hopefulness of life itself, a quality which Bridesmaids has in spades.

HOOD's mark derives from the bold approach and style of internationally acclaimed street artist, Rene Gagnon. Gagnon's passion for taking risks and daring to be different is what inspires the brand. HOOD's vision is to appeal to confident and independent consumers with a love of urban art through the context of extreme activities.
Rene Gagnon conceived the brand in 2008 when the 80's graffiti writer turned street artist created a series of paste ups and over 100 paintings that were featured in a solo art exhibit entitled, HOOD. The show title derived from the art creation process, during which Gagnon began to digitally brand what the subjects were wearing with an aptly named clothing line he called, HOOD. The HOOD brand was purely fictitious in 2008, although it appeared to be real. Gagnons' original concept was to feature girls in portrait format wearing hooded sweatshirts. He was attempting to visually articulate an experience he had while walking in a dark alleyway near his studio late at night.
"I saw two hooded figures approaching me while walking to my truck late at night and my guard went up. The figures approached me and removed their hoods. I saw that it was two very innocent looking girls. I thought it was fascinating how I reacted with fear because I couldn't see their faces. So, I wanted to play with the concept of how we react to people when we can't see their face."
In 2011, the HOOD company came to fruition. Gagnon with his daughter, HOOD Vice President Samantha Gagnon, and a team of devoted like minded risk takers developed the brand to where it sits today.
HOOD Clothing Inc. will also enhance the brand by offering exclusive limited edition products that feature Gagnons' iconic imagery. Imagery that has made him a respected street and gallery artist amongst his peers and collectors from around the world.
Rene was born in 1971 and raised in the city of Fall River, Massachusetts, a dusty mill town rich in culture located about 45 minutes south of Boston. He started drawing graffiti on his school book covers and piecing in railway tunnels in the early 80's after seeing the movies, 'Wild Style' and 'Beat Street'. His thirst for creation truly exploded after seeing the graffiti art from the streets of New York City in those movies. The enormity of the works and the care free expression of color displayed a means by which he could gain the attention that every teen is so desperately seeking. This rebellious idea of searching for your identity through the use of markers and spray paint fueled my desire to follow in the footsteps of a graffiti artist.


That means it's Teaser Time!!!
Which is like the step-sister to Hammer Time.
So get excited. Very, very excited.
The whisper grew louder until it was a sing-song melody that tickled my ears at the same time causing real fear to unfurl inside my chest. I turned around again, just wanting, no needing this to be over.
More black lightning hit the ground a few feet in front of me and I jumped back, a startled scream ripping from my throat. I steadied myself again, drew my swords forward and then tilted my chin for borrowed defiance.
High pitched, tinkling laughter was my only response, before a huge gust of wind knocked me on my back. My swords clattered off to the side and I lay there out of breath and weaponless.
I was awesome at this job….
I flung myself to my feet and tried to lunge for my weapon. A surge of wind pushed me back, away from my katana, but not strong enough to make me fall. I went for my sword again but the same thing happened.
I took a step back with my hands in the air.


Let's meet and you won't regret.
I am a very nice person,positive,optimistic,enthusiastic, like socializing to widen my circle of friends.Have a lot of respect for other people.
Anyone whose been there,done that and serious about life.Come chill with me and discuss serious life issues and how to tackle this life together,give each other ideas and so on.
Drizzle hasn't asked any friends to write a recommendation yet.

What does "compound interest" or "compound returns" really mean?
It is a fairly simple concept. It means that any interest earned is added to the principal amount and any future interest is earned on the new principle value.
If we are talking about a bank savings account this has the same affect but the interest amounts are so small that it is not exciting at all. In fact, it is not even interesting! 1% or 2% interest is down right boring!
Where this becomes exciting is when you can get higher returns from investments like stocks and mutual funds. For example, if you own $1000 worth of a stock and the price increases by 10% you have a value of $1100, an increase of $100. Any future increases are based on that new value. If it increases another 10% the new value would be $1210, an increase of $110. This is compounding returns.
This also work in reverse when the values go down. When prices are decreasing the compounding is both a blessing and curse in my opinion. Using the same example, if you own $1000 worth of a stock and the price decreases by 10% you have a value of $900, a decrease of $100. Any future decreases are based on that new value. If it increases another 10% the new value would be $810, a decrease of $90. I see this as a blessing in that the future % deceases are are smaller value amounts. The total loss of value slows down. I see this as a curse in that it takes a larger % increase to get back to even.
The table below shows an even position of $1000 in the middle and 10 hypothetical periods of time going up and down from there. The lines above even show how % increases affect the value. The lines below even show how % decreases affect the value. The last two columns show the % Total Change and % Back to even.
From this we can see that if we have a 50% increase in value, it will only take a 30% decrease to take us back down to even. On the other hand, if we have a 30% decrease in value, it will take a 50% increase to get us back up to even. Understanding the affect of compounding returns is one key to investing.

How will Obama affect battle for the Senate?
(CNN) – The race for control of the U.S. Senate is coming down to the wire.
Less than three weeks from election day, two new polls out Wednesday dashing Democratic hopes.
President Obama has a 40% approval rating in a new ABC/Washington Post poll. The last time a president led his party into a midterm election with that low an approval rating? Harry Truman in 1950, when Democrats lost 28 seats.
Obama didn't fair much better in the new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, only winning the approval of 42% of likely voters.
Perhaps more significantly, the journal notes "the share of voters who see the country on the wrong track has reached the highest level ever in a midterm-election year."
The New York Times' Jonathan Martin and The Atlantic's Molly Ball join CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" to discuss.

Caregiving: Preparing and Presence in the Five Stages of Parent Care
Taking on responsibilities and being present to a parent's significant aging and end-of-life brings complex and deeply emotional experiences. It's not just the engagement with their medical issues or finances. It often also brings new experiences of old wounds and a sometimes-shocking vulnerability in new experiences. That's not to mention difficulty with siblings, your full life elsewhere, and friends who don't get what you feel.
The way through is preparing and presence. Preparing is about developing plans for situations you can reasonably expect. Presence is about removing reactivity, looking for a compassionate stance, and holding an openness in the moment so you can deal with the unexpected.
Too many people tell me "I had no idea what I was getting into." Some others tell me planning is a waste of time because there is too much you can't predict. This means trusting one's established capacity to problem solve and established personal process for managing and understanding experiences. The issue with such an approach is these are truly tough to manage experiences, and some have no solution.
After more than a decade of supporting others as they engage with their unique parent care journeys, I have come to understand there are five stages to parent care. Each stage is usually entered in crisis or shock. And each stage brings a whole new set of challenges that call for new roles, resources, and perspective. The following brief synopsis may help you prepare and understand where you may need to be present.
Note: The following is an abbreviated version of a longer article. The full version can be found here.
The Five Stages of Parent Care
Stage 1: Pre-Care
The time to begin talking about possibilities and desires with respect to aging and end-of life is while parents are stable, independent and have full cognitive capacity. For many, it may seem better to not talk about it until there is an issue that needs to be addressed. This may be your or your parent's reality. Start then with where you and they are at and tell them you care, and you want to know what to do as things change.
In this stage:
-Parents are: Stable, self-sufficient
-Children are likely to be: Uninformed, leading full independent lives
-Tasks may include: DPOA/AHCD, emergency plans, conversations about aging, difficult discussions, financial plans, living situation
-Potential Issues: Don't want to talk about it, denial, old family discord
-Relationship: fixed/stable, sometimes distant
Stage 2: Chronic Care
At some point health or frailty requires increasing attention. Without solid information, resources, and honest communications, both the parent and child will likely move in and out of crisis. Children should be informed about financial and estate plans, advanced health care directives, and medical progression/prognosis. This is where changes in relationship and associated stress manifest. Conversations about intention, quality of life, and end-of-life wishes will be needed.
-Parents are: Fragile, dependent on increased support, in and out of crisis
-Children are likely to be: Awakened, stressed, resistant, "I didn't sign up for this" or "along for the ride" or "witness" (willing or otherwise)
-Tasks may include: Any and all of Stage 1 tasks, living situation changes, in-home caregivers, assisted living facility move, conservator establishment, counseling, plan review/revision
-Potential Issues: Quality of life concerns, finances, still don't want to talk about it, fear, loss/grief initiation, loss of independence (by both parents and children), resentment and/or acceptance
-Relationship: Stressed, changing
Stage 3: End Stage Care
Eventually, it becomes clear that the parent has a terminal status. This may be a brief or prolonged stage depending on the medical issues playing out. Stress and raw emotions may reveal the depth of unresolved matters in the family. At the same time, the presence of family and the under 100 process of summing up can provide deep and valuable moments, for both the parent and the child caregiver.
-Parents: Unstable, not maintaining even with increased support, in and out of crisis, terminal conditions.
-Children are likely to be: Confused, committed, resigned, and/or overwhelmed, sometimes myopic
-Tasks: May include: Shift to palliative stance, hospice care, dying at home, skilled nursing facilities, summing up, genealogy, biography, gatherings (individual, family, community), vigil, final expressions, greater acceptance
-Potential Issues: Anticipated loss, unresolved matters, fear, shock, denial, grief
-Relationship: Stressed, pulling together, breaking down
Stage 4: Death and Memorializing
Immediately following the parent's passing, caregivers are in shock, distracted by arrangements and concerned community, and the real nature of loss takes time to set in. Regardless of how it is done, gathering and honoring the life passed is an important step in recognizing the end, letting go, and family resettlement.
-Parents: Passed.
-Children are likely to be: Overwhelmed, distracted by arrangements and community, incredulous, in shock, wounded, relieved
-Tasks May include: Service, ritual creation, spirituality examination, gatherings, community expressions, summing up, family resettlement.
-Potential Issues: No ritual tradition to rely upon, numbness, shock, differences/resentment between siblings uncovered
-Relationship: Ended, beginning letting go
Stage 5: Relocation/Self Care
It can take a good six months before the depth of the changes and the loss are truly felt. Community may provide acknowledgement and support for a time, but eventually, the survivor is left alone to deal with the feelings around the experience. The emotions do not go away. However, they can get relocated internally, and the opportunity to see one's own life differently, accept one's own mortality, and find a measure of peace can be found in many places.
-Children likely to experience: Grief stages, personal summing up, put away experience and/or new processing

Satellite Broadcasting
What Does Satellite Broadcasting Mean?
Techopedia Explains Satellite Broadcasting
Satellite broadcasting is the distribution of multimedia content or broadcast signals over or through a satellite network. The broadcast signals usually originate from a station such as a TV or radio station and then are sent via a satellite uplink (uploaded) to a geo-stationary artificial satellite for redistribution or retransmission to other predetermined geographic locations through an open or a secure channel. Downlinks are then received by base stations such as small home satellite dishes or by base stations owned by the local cable network for redistribution to their customers.
Satellite broadcasting is a system of content distribution using broadcast signals relayed to and from communication satellites, which are then received by parabolic antennae better known as satellite dishes. The signals are then passed through a low-noise block converter for conditioning.
A satellite receiver decodes the incoming signals and presents them to the user through standard television or satellite radio. In the case of satellite television, the signals coming in are encoded and digitally compressed so as to minimize the size and so that the provider can bundle more channels into the signal. The user can then select which channel to decode and view. The compression used for satellite digital TV is often MPEG compression so that quality can be retained.

b. A central open space forming the vertical core around which the stairs of a winding or spiral staircase may be set.
OED

stairwell:

a long, vertical passage through a building around which a set of stairs is built.

Q: How to have a glyphicon appear on hover in a ? I have a table with data that I want the user to be able to delete per row. But to not clutter my UI with trashcans, I want the trashcan to appear only when hovering over the record. I am using Bootstrap and jQuery, but I am having a hard time getting this right.
What I have until now ($("#properties") is my tbody):
function add_property(prop) {
    var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);

    $("#properties").append("
"+
        '
' + prop +
        '

	' +
        '<input type="text" name="'+prop+'">	'+
    "
");

    $("#td"+r).hover(function() {
        $("#div"+r).css("display", "inline");
    }, function() {
        $("#div"+r).css("display", "none");
    });
}

I use the random number, because the records are created dynamically.
Currently, everything is jumping around when I am hovering over the s.
Update of course I want to be able to click the trashcan to delete the record.

A: You can use css without any javascript for that:

CSS:
#properties div .glyphicon.glyphicon-trash {
    display: none;
}
#properties td:hover div .glyphicon.glyphicon-trash {
    display: inline;
}

A: Add a class to both name and icon class to make them same line
.inline {
   display:inline-block;
}
and make the visibilty , hidden/visible on hover the div id
bellow a working snippet

function add_property(prop) {
    var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);

    $("#properties").append("
"+
        '
' + prop +
        '

	' +
        '<input type="text" name="'+prop+'">	'+
    "
");

    $("#td"+r).hover(function() {
        $("#div"+r).css("visibility", "visible");
    }, function() {
        $("#div"+r).css("visibility", "hidden");
    });
}

$("#btn").on("click",function(e){
  var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);
  add_property("name"+r);
});
.inline {
  display: inline-block;
}

.glyphicon-trash:hover{
  cursor:pointer;
}

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<button id="btn">add</button>


I LOVE this, multiplayer is so much more interesting with story.
All in all, number 1 rule of good storytelling is to set someone up as the secret bad guy, but then have it turn out to be someone else. I don't think it's Spectre. But if we could maybe see some furthering for this story, be it by in-map easter eggs, or more specialists, I'm all ears.
Props to Treyarch for this one, certainly good food for thought for me to chew on while I would normally have been mindlessly slaughtering in mp.

The U.S. Department of Justice sued Atlantean concrete giant Argos United States.
by Rabbi It Firm
Argos USA, with its offices in Alpharetta, is accused of having carried out a multi-year scheme to end and eliminate competition using pricing and rigging bids with ready-to-use mixing concrete marketing markets for the Savanna, Ga, and Head Island, S.C. regions, according to criminal charges lodged at the Savannah court of January 4. (The chargtasksread here.)
The Statistical Explanation
Argos USA runs hundreds of concrete plants in the east of the United States. There are many of them in Georgia, Carolina, and Florida. They conspire, which starts in 2010 and lasts until around July 2016; the Feds reported that many potential victims are affected. The USA has reached a suspended legal deal with the Department of Justice to pay a monetary settlement of $20,024,015. Argos USA has agreed to do so. At least $83,433,397 was assessed against the currency penalty depending on the Company's market value.
Illegal federal activities were limited to a small number of employees who joined the agency in October 2011, after the plot had already been initiated. These workers operated in a local office in Pooler, Ga., close to Savannah. The Grand Jury identified and took the USA to a trial on September 2, 2020, with two previous staff, Gregory Halla.
These two individuals were the employees primarily responsible for the Company's participation in the charged conspiracy," claimed the feds. "Argos USA LLC has signed an agreement with the DOJ to make a payment of $20 million to the anti-competitive investigation by a limited number of former workers from a small local sales office in Pooler, Georgia," Argos USA told Atlanta Business Chronicle the customer in a statement. The management of Argos USA outside the Pooler office was not interested in or endorsed the actions carried out in violation of compliance policies.

Three winners chosen for i.d.e.a.WF contest
Claire Kowalick
After a months-long training and vetting process, three winners came out ahead in the 2018 i.d.e.a.WF contest.
I.d.e.a. stands for imagine, design, engage and act and is a entrepreneur contest offered through the MSU Texas College of Business Administration, the Lalani Center and the Small Business Development Center at MSU.
The three winners in specific categories described below were: Xylo Bats, The Burn Shop and Herd Connect.
Guest speaker for this year's luncheon was Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Vice President of Company Restaurants Tommy Van Wolfe.
Van Wolfe spoke about his career journey saying his first taste of the restaurant business was working as a bus boy and dishwasher at age 15 at a restaurant near his home.
While he initially thought he wanted to be a pilot, Van Wolfe said he fell in love with the restaurant business. At 19, he became a general manager of the restaurant while he went to junior college. He later attended college for restaurant management.
Two things Van Wolfe said he learned from working in a restaurant was the importance of entrepreneurship in a company and how challenges affect people in the business.
He worked at Brinker International for about five and a half years before joining Raising Cane's. When he started, Cane's had 64 restaurants with five in Texas. Times were difficult in the early years of the business, but Van Wolfe said he found inspiration in the company's founder Todd Graves.
In the mid-1990s, Graves had an idea for a business that only sold quality chicken fingers and couple sides. In a time where many restaurants were expanding their menus to catering to a wide-range of tastes, his idea seemed like madness.
Still, Graves was persistent to make his dream come true. He worked as a boilermaker in Los Angeles and as a salmon fishery in Alaska to come up with the startup funds for his restaurant.
In searching for a name for his eatery, Graves thought of his dog Raising Cane, a yellow Labrador that never left his side.
He opened a restaurant in a former bike shop near the University of Louisiana in 1996, and it was an instant hit.
From those challenging times, Graves realized the essence of community and learned to appreciate both his employees and customers.
That first Halloween at the new restaurant, Graves thought of his crew that were perhaps disappointed to be working on a fun holiday. He handmade each of them a little ghost out of a Tootsie Roll Pop, tissue paper and string – a tradition that carries on at Raising Cane's restaurants today.
Further cementing the appreciation for crew members, Cane's is closed for eight major holidays each year so employees can spend time with their families and friends.
Cane's shows appreciation to the communities they are in by contributing and donating to local schools and nonprofits.
This year, the company has given back $5 million to the communities they serve.
The three winners of the i.d.e.a.WF contest are shining examples of the entrepreneurial spirit.
Winner of the startup category is Xylo Bats and owners Leland Wetzel and Ross Harrison.
This category is for companies who earned less than $50,000 in the previous two years.
Xylo received a cash prize of $12,000 and will get nearly $20,000 in in-kind services such as accounting, marketing, advertising, legal, human resources and information technology.
Wetzel made his first baseball bat as a gift for his nephew a few years ago. The bats they make are the highest-quality wooden bats on the markets, the company claims. Recently, Xylo was approved to make bats for professional baseball players.
Winner in the expansion category is The Burn Shop with owners Keith and Ivonne Wineinger.
This category is for companies who have earned between $50,000-$250,000 in the past two years.
They will also receive a $12,000 cash prize and nearly $20,000 in in-kind services.
When his company was announced, Wineinger hugged all his employees, friends and family in attendance saying they were truly a team company.
The Burn Shop was founded in 2016, when Wineinger began searching for another source of income as the oil industry was faltering. He purchased a plasma cutting table, sometimes called a "burn table," which is how he came up with the business name.
The company makes custom-order metal designs from grill grates to large-scale business signs. Wineinger said a good portion of their customers are outside of Wichita Falls, but since the business is located here – all those dollars come back and are spent locally.
The Judges' Choice winner was Herd Connect with owners Alan and Leslie Schaffner. This winner gets $6,000 in cash and $11,000 of in-kind services.
Herd Connect is an application for web-based cattle management. The system allows ranchers to monitor, update and track cattle operations, pasture placement and animal histories through the app or computer. They say the app is "ranchers' best friend from pasture to payday."
This is the ninth year for the i.d.e.a.WF contest. Contestants began at the end of February with orientation sessions, working up to presentation of their business plan. Semi-finalists were chosen and whittled down to six finalists in August.
Manley said all the participants in this year's i.d.e.a.WF said they enjoyed the process and said they felt like they had won already. He encouraged participants who did not win – and anyone else with a great business idea - to work on their plan and try again next year.


Queensland taxpayers are being left in the dark as Labor still refuses to release any details behind its decision to award a foreign company the contract to manage Commonwealth Games opening and closing ceremonies over home-grown businesses.
Queensland's Commonwealth Games athletes have been told to go for Gold at Glasgow at a farewell at the Queensland Academy of Sport today.
The State Government has provided Queensland's team of more than 90 athletes with a bonus grant of $2,700 each towards their final preparations for the Glasgow games.
Friday 4 April 2014 marks four years until the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™, with planning well underway to deliver the best Commonwealth Games ever, on-time and on-budget.
In less than five years the Gold Coast will become the first regional Australian city to host the Commonwealth Games, and all Queenslanders are invited to have their say on the Games legacy.
Commonwealth Games Minister Jann Stuckey, in partnership with the City of Gold Coast, today launched an online survey to gather community feedback.
