Rich Enuff dominates betting for Caulfield Guineas
RICH Enuff rocketed into favoritism for the Caulfield Guineas on the back of yet another spectacular win, reports Racing Network.
Bookmakers slashed the odds of Rich Enuff after the Ken Keys trained colt made his rivals look second rate in today's Guineas Prelude at Caulfield
Sportsbet.com.au tightened the odds for Rich Enuff from $9 to $3.60 after the colt posted the softest of two and a half length wins.
For Keys and his wife Louise who bred the colt the Caulfield Guineas shapes as a life changing experience.
Keys reaffirmed that Rich Enuff, unbeaten in all three starts this spring, is not for sale.
"It's bloody scary. I really don't know what to say, what you saw is real," Keys said.
"He's still not there yet as a racehorse, he's a big baby."
Keys said Rich Enuff was the horse he's searched for over the past 30 years.
"You would not believe how tough we've done it. Everyone has done the tough yards," he said.
"To get something back at last for everyone who has put so much in is just fabulous."
Asked about stretching out to the 1600 m of the Guineas, Keys replied: "I don't think that is an issue.
"His mum won over a mile (sic 1600 m) and she was a better horse than her record suggest. There is a bit of strength in the family when you go through it."
Rich Enuff, heavily backed from $4.60 to $3.70, cruised across to sit outside Liberation, which led, but surged to the front not long after entering the run home.
With Michael Rodd kind to him over the concluding stages, Rich Enuff coasted to victory ahead of Looks Like The Cat, the $3.10 favourite, which hit the line strong after settling mid field.
Awesome Rock, $8.50, ran his usual honest race to finish two and a quarter lengths away third.
Rodd described as "unbelievable" the performance of Rich Enuff.
He said his concerns that the colt may fire up and not switch off proved errant as Rich Enuff, in fact, relaxed too much.
"The opposite happened. He cruised over, just dropped the bit and between the 800 and 500 (metres) he dropped the bit that much that I thought he might be gone," Rodd said.
"I gave him a little tickle before the turn and he just came back up and I thought 'oh my god'. I'm sure sure if I put one around his tail he would have taken off."

The Colorado Campus Office project consists of the adaptive reuse of three existing buildings into creative office space along with construction of a new 28,000 sf sub-grade parking structure. The parking structure is fully valet with parking stackers, allowing for a total of 252 parking spaces . The on-grade space will be transformed into a semi-private garden, which will act as the central feature of the campus. The existing facades will be preserved and enhanced, preserving the existing character of the campus.
The buildings will be selectively removed to allow for construction of the new garage and garden space. The new expansion areas will consist of exterior walls with plaster, wood, and metal panel finishes, and new steel windows and storefront assemblies will provide increased circulation.

The United States, through the Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP), has funded an advanced laboratory in Central Luzon, Philippines, in the city of Tarlac. The laboratory will conduct surveillance and testing on local agricultural samples from in and around the region.
The RADDL can provide an accurate diagnosis of major animal diseases and enable the government to decide quickly on what to do to prevent the further spread of any animal diseases.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar said the facility would help improve the measures against animal diseases that have often affected provinces in the region.
"With this facility, we are positive that we can prevent and hopefully put an end to the most dreaded animal disease of ASF (African Swine Fever) that has paralyzed the country's hog industry for more than a year now, and has threatened to demolish the billion-peso industry," Dar said.
"This RADDL will benefit the province of Tarlac by leading to the ability for rapid submission of samples and a much quicker diagnosis of potential animal diseases," said Dr. Joely T. Ongtangco, Chief of RADDL III. "This lab will also help the province diminish their human rabies cases by means of early diagnosis and post prophylaxis treatment."

"BTRP is proud that our partnership with the Department of Agriculture has resulted in the completion of a new Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. We are confident that this partnership will strengthen the Republic of the Philippines' ability to detect, diagnose, and report dangerous pathogens affecting the agriculture sector to include priority diseases such as African Swine Fever and Avian Influenza," noted Dr. Ada Bacetty, Defense Threat Reduction Agency BTRP Department Chief. "Since 2016, BTRP has invested approximately $25,000,000 in our robust partnership with the Philippines. Our program has funded the construction of new laboratories across the nation, supported trainings, and provided biorisk management subject matter expertise. These joint efforts improved biosafety and biosecurity practices and will strengthen the Department of Agriculture's preparedness capabilities to prevent and respond to dangerous diseases and combat the negative impacts on the Filipino people. BTRP values this important relationship with the Republic of the Philippines and looks forward to continuing our partnership on these topics in the years to come."
Currently, there are RADDLs in Cagayan Valley Region, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos City and Davao. An integrated network increases the nation's ability to identify diseases and curb spreading, promote biosafety and biosecurity culture in biological testing, and provide accurate laboratory data analysis as the basis for formulation of regulations and standards.
A Transboundary Animal Diseases Center is also planned for Central Luzon State University in the Science City of Muñoz in Nueva Ecija.
BTRP is executed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

Q: Google Wallet: Storing Order IDs in Database with PHP When creating a subscription, I log the orderID that gets created in the database intending to reference it later to handle a cancellation postback. My cancellation postback never seems to work however.
My postback stores the original order when it's created and then it tries to reference it on cancellation and update the database but the orderID is slightly different and cannot update properly.
This is the orderID that got stored directly from the decoded JWT in the database:
GWDG_S.886160e8-49b6-4f92-b485-9787c4cb4c06.0..0

This is the orderID that gets sent according to firebug in the console during the subscription cancellation:
GWDG_S.886160e8-49b6-4f92-b485-9787c4cb4c06.0.

This is the orderID that gets sent in the email to the user cancelling the subscription:
GWDG_S.886160e8-49b6-4f92-b485-9787c4cb4c06

I'm not sure what's going on here. How do I go about accounting for these changes?
Any input is welcome! Thanks!

A: Can't seem to reproduce...in my sandbox :

This is the debug email I send to myself showing purchase and subsequent cancellation postbacks

Buyers do get receipts with what I believe is the "incrementing" transaction number you are seeing (unless I'm corrected by a Googler) each time their subscription is renewed -
e.g. on 5th renewal [...]6a6c4.0..5

Sample cancellation postback over a period of time:

A: Looks you need to normalize the orderID to the last format. For this particular one, the following regex will do.
preg_match('([^\.]+\.[^\.])\.', $orderID, $matches);
$orderID = $matches[1];

Q: global array doesn't get modified in javascript function I've been spending way too much time on this issue... So i want to declare a 2D array called "positions" that can be used in other functions. using a parsing code that worked in the function "init", i tried to create a simple function called "parsing" as to avoid repeating the long parsing process every time i want to use the positions array. except when i console.log(positions) in other functions, it always returns an empty array = [].
How come "positions" doesn't get modified in the parsing function and how do i do it? This is the code used:
var positions = [];

parsing();
init();

function parsing() {
    fetch('Petit_film_256_atomes.txt').then(response => response.text()).then(text => {
        const arr = text.split('\n')
            .map(line => line.trim())
            .map((arr) => arr.split(' '))
            .map(([size, x, y, z]) => ({
                  size: Number(size),
                  x: Number(x),
                  y: Number(y),
                  z: Number(z)
            }));
            while (arr.length > 0) {
                positions.push(arr.splice(0, size).slice(2));
            }
    })
}

A: I haven't looked closely at what's happening during all the .map calls, but the trouble is probably that parsing is not finished by the time init is invoked. You can try it this way:
var positions = [];

parsing(init);

function parsing(cb) {
    fetch('Petit_film_256_atomes.txt').then(response => response.text()).then(text => {
        const arr = text.split('\n')
            .map(line => line.trim())
            .map((arr) => arr.split(' '))
            .map(([size, x, y, z]) => ({
                size: Number(size),
                x: Number(x),
                y: Number(y),
                z: Number(z)
        }));
        while (arr.length > 0) {
            positions.push(arr.splice(0, size).slice(2));
        }
        if (typeof(cb) === 'function') {
            cb();
        }
   })
}


Anti-work, gardening, veganism, Star Trek, and worms.
Mould spread quickly, and there was very little growth, none of it edible. I'd soaked the seeds overnight before sowing (good) but covered them with a thin layer of soil, rather than leaving them exposed (bad). I also didn't cover or weigh them down, just left them as they were (inadvisable).
Still, even when covered, it's hard to keep the flies away. Not knowing what I was doing, I sprinkled some dried lavender among the pea shoots. This had no positive effect whatsoever.
I'm very impressed with rambo radish seeds. The ones I bought have yielded a wonderful crop in only six days, and I've been snacking on them ever since.
1. Sterilising trays. I've submerged the trays in hot water with a splash of bleach and a splash of white vinegar for about 5 minutes, before rinsing and leaving to dry.
I've raked this in and patted down the soil before adding the seeds.
3. Allowing the seeds a little more space. I've noticed that pea shoots need a little more room than I've been giving them to put down their roots and for the shoot to emerge. With this in mind, I've not used as many per tray as I did previously. Hopefully this should result in a higher yield overall. Only about half to two thirds of the pea seeds I've sown have actually given me edible shoots. I'm sure this can be improved upon.
And that, my friends, is that. Today in total I started two trays of peas, another tray of mung beans and for the first time, a tray of adzuki beans. Browsing through Tesco yesterday, I quickly checked online as to what sort of dried beans they sold there produce edible sprouts. Adzuki beans seemed like the most interesting option. All the seeds have been soaked for over eight hours before sowing, and are weighed down with a couple of books on top of the fleece material I use to cover all my trays.
It's going to be an interesting week.

Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Saturday requested Finance Commission to recommend more than Rs 50,000 crore as grants to the border state to help it overcome "financial challenges" that will bring it under Rs-1-lakh-crore outstanding debt by the end of this fiscal.
The 14th Finance Commission led by chairman YV Reddy arrived here on Friday on a two-day visit, and held a series of meetings with the state government and key stakeholders to review Punjab's finances and demands. The commission will finalise its recommendations by October after completing the discussions with all state governments and the union government.
In his presentation after submitting memorandum to the commission, the CM sought Rs 9,639 crore state-specific grants, Rs 8,775 crore for the agricultural diversification plan, and a debt relief of Rs 24,813 crore for the country's "sword arm" and "granary".
Requesting the commission to fix the states' share in central taxes at 50%, Badal sought Rs 3,000 crore for promoting industry and Rs 500 crore for building and strengthening infrastructure in the border areas.
He also demanded that the union government should bear 50% of the Rs-6,000-crore annual subsidy bill of free electricity to the agriculture sector. "To bail out farmers and save agriculture, the state government is investing almost Rs 6,000 crore a year to provide the agriculture sector with (free) electricity," Badal said.
"Terming the initiative as a step towards national food security, he (Badal) urged the Centre to share at least half the burden of this investment," a government spokesperson said, quoting the CM. Badal blamed the "long years of militancy" and "long spells of President's rule" for pushing revenue-surplus Punjab into debt trap.
Arguing that Punjab had fought the country's wars, Badal sought the restructuring of the balance outstanding debt and a moratorium on the payment of interest, considering the state's strong financial position prior to militancy.
Flanked by cabinet colleagues and a battery of senior state bureaucrats, the CM informed the commission that the Centre had referred to it the issue of the debt-stressed states of Kerala, Punjab and West Bengal. He demanded Rs 24,813 crore as debt relief grant towards outstanding small savings and the Government of India (GoI) loans.
He referred to the order by which the-then prime minister, IK Gujral, had waived the entire special term loan raised during the militancy in Punjab. "However, when it came to implementation, only the outstanding balance on that date was waived," said Badal. He asked for a special term loan and said the interest paid already by the state had amounted to Rs 2,694 crore at current prices.
Referring to the industrial tax concessions which the Centre had given to neighboring states, Badal said the "discriminatory policy" had resulted in the stopping of fresh investment and the flight of capital from the state. He asked the Centre for tax concessions to Punjab on a par with those granted to the neighbouring states.
Earlier, finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa said in his speech said that the state government was conscious of the need to contain revenue deficit and had made significant effort to increase own tax revenue and compress non-plan revenue expenditure.
The commission chairman assured the CM that his team would examine all the aspects of fiscal consolidation thoroughly.

Вели́кий Митник — село в Україні,  у Хмільницькій міській громаді Хмільницького району Вінницької області. Населення становить 1352 осіб.

Географія
Село Великий Митник розташоване за 5 кілометрів на північний схід від м. Хмільника, біля шосейної дороги Хмільник — Бердичів, на схилі долини, яка перетинається невеличкою річкою Хвосою, що в районі Хмільника впадає в Південний Буг. За 4 кілометри на північ від села проходить сумнозвісний Чорний шлях.

Історія
За історичними даними, перше поселення на цьому місці заснували розкольники в XVI столітті, а являло воно собою слободу з назвою Пилипи. Під час одного з татарських набігів поселення зруйнували. Розкольники розбіглись і більше не хотіли жити в такому неспокійному місці. Новими поселенцями стали козаки. Їм, серед інших пільг, було дане право збирати плату (мито) з тих, хто проїжджав через греблю. Звідси виникла версія, що село почали називати Митником. З утворенням виселка на правому боці р. Хвоси, село стали називати Великим Митником, а виселок — Малим Митником. Поселення входило до Хмільницького староства.

З приєднанням Поділля до Росії, В. Митник, як і все Хмільницьке староство, подарувала імператриця Катерина II графові Іллі Андрійовичу Кушельову-Безбородьку, який неподалік від В. Митника побудував економію-фільварок, названий Кушелівкою. Після смерті графа М. Митник і Кушелівка перейшли до його дочки, по чоловікові - графині Лєвашової і належали цій родині аж до 1917 року. В. Митник успадкувала друга донька, яка вийшла заміж за князя Лобанова. 1818 року село продали польському поміщикові Шадловському. Шадловський перепродав Великий Митник в 1842 Вікентієві Мазараці, який як придане своєї дочки Стефаниди передав його дворянину Адольфові Мостовському. Під час приналежності Поділля до Речі Посполитої в селі була греко-католицька єпархія. Тоді в центрі села стояла дерев'яна церква з кладовищем при ній. Хто і коли побудував її - не відомо. В 1770 році ця церква з невідомих причин згоріла. Присвячена вона була архистратигу Михаїлу. Це місце було огороджене плотом і засаджене деревами. В 1776 на кошти прихожан і поміщика графа Осалінського була зведена нова дерев'яна церква. Це була однокупольна споруда. В 1864 році до неї прибудували дзвіницю. В церкві, яка теж була присвячена архистратигу Михаїлу, в 1896 році спорудили чотирьохярусний іконостас. До 1790 року священиком був греко-католик Федір Бутович, а після нього його син Стефан Бутович, який згодом став протоієреєм. Він прослужив на одному приході 60 років (1790—1850 рр.), 36 років був благочинним. Саме при ньому приход села В.Митник перейшов із греко-католицизму в православ'я. Стефан Бутович мав величезний авторитет у місцевого населення. Під час служіння наступного священика, Аркадія Шараенного, в 1862 році в В. Митнику при церкві відкрили церковно-приходську школу. З 1893 року для неї було збудоване окреме приміщення. У 1896 році відкрили школу грамоти в Кушелівці. В 1898—190З роках за часів служіння Петра Кремінського у селі було споруджено цегляний храм, який простояв до 1934 року і був розібраний в рамках антирелігійної кампанії.

XX століття
На початок XX століття в В.Митнику числилось прихожан 685 чоловіків і 719 жінок, а в М.Митнику — 230 чоловіків і 256 жінок. Однокласну школу в В.Митнику відвідувало 34 хлопчики і 13 дівчаток. Революційні події 1905—1907 рр. Знайшли відгук в нашому краї. В травні 1905 року в Кушелівці селяни економії Левашової пов'язали хустками сапи і пішли в контору, де поставили вимогу сплачувати їм по 75 копійок за робочий день. Їх вимогу задовольнили. Але вже 4 червня 1905 року начальник Подільського жандармського губернського управління доповідав командиру окремого корпусу Д.Тропову, що адміністративним допитом, який був проведений 27 травня, встановлено, що селяни села В.Митник, підбурювані односельчанами Карпом Поліщуком, Мартином Попадюком, Зіновієм Хмурою, Іваном Поліщуком, Іваном Попадюком та Филимоном Вірчаком, прийшовши в місцеву економію поміщика Мазараки, вигнали сезонних робітників, припинили всі роботи в економії. З 25 травня особи, які називали себе уповноваженими від товариства, знову з'явились в економії з вимогою звільнити всіх робітників, службовців, домашню прислугу, які не хотіли припиняти роботу. Потім, не зважаючи на вмовляння, підбурювачі разом з натовпом селян категорично заявили, що нікого не допустять в економії до того часу, поки робітникам не будуть сплачувати по одному карбованцю в день. На підставі викладеного повітовий справник постановою від 31 травня 1905 року, керуючись статтею 21 «Положення про посилення охорони», для збереження громадського спокою і попередження насильства вищезгаданих ватажків арештував і під конвоєм направив у Кам'янець-Подільську тюрму. У В.Митнику, Кушелівці, Філіополі 18 червня 1905 року, згідно з доповідною № 4314 Подільського губернатора А. Ейлера міністру внутрішніх справ, відбувся страйк сільськогосподарських робітників. Для його придушення до Літинського повіту було послано 2 ескадрони козаків.

Під час Визвольних змагань у селі були сили армії УНР, більшовики, денікінці та поляки.Активну діяльність в районі Хмільника проводив загін отамана Чепеля, який підтримував Директорію.

Повідомляється, що одного разу Чепель взяв Митник, зібрав селян і примусив їх повернути майно викрадене з панського маєтку.

У 1922 році в Філіополі організували перше колективне господарство по обробітку землі, яке називалось «Зірка». До нього ввійшло 12 господарств, а керівником став Яків Владимірець. В 1925 році у Великому Митнику створено ТСОЗ. Його організатором став М. І. Фелько і вчитель П. І. Гуменюк. Першим головою сільради став Денис Давидович Попадюк.

У 1929 році, під час примусової колективізації, було створено колгосп "Перемога". Його організатором став комуніст Дурнєв, а головою — Степан Іванович Ступніцький. В 1932 році в селі з'явився перший трактор. А першими механізаторами стали Микита Калачик, Фелікс Заблоцький, Христя Поліщук.

У 1924 році в Великому Митнику відкрилась початкова школа. Її першими вчителями стали Степан Петрович Збитнівський і Панас Іванович Гуменюк. А вчитель Фелько Мирон Іванович очолив в селі роботу по ліквідації неписьменності. В 1936 році в селі збудовано типову семирічну школу, яка в 1951 була реорганізована в середню.

Наразі немає доступу до документів, які б розкрили правду про злочини сталінізму в 30-роки, а люди згадують про це неохоче, хоча багато хто попав під репресії. Одним із варварських актів більшовицької влади було знищення Великомитницької церкви. Це був п'ятикупольний цегляний храм із дзвіницею, який вражав своєю красою. В 1936 році її було розібрано, а з цегли побудували школи в Великому Митнику, Кушелівці, а також інші споруди. Кажуть, що доля жорстоко помстилась всім учасникам варварської акції.

Друга світова війна
З початком Другої світової війни важкі часи настали для жителів села. 17-18 липня 1941 року села Великомитницької сільради були окуповані німцями. В цей час комсомольці з Філіополя Олександр Трибухівський та Іван Владимірець допомагали бійцям Червоної Армії, які відстали від своїх частин.

В роки війни 257 жителів села воювали на фронтах. 92 із них полягли смертю хоробрих. А всього по Великомитницькій сільраді загинуло під час від війни 216 чоловік. Молодь села воювала в окопах Сталінграда, захищала Малахів Курган, брала участь в обороні Ленінграда. Тяжкі роки Ленінградської блокади витримав Павло Колісник. Груди, нині покійного, Григорія Літинського прикрашали численні нагороди. Серед них Ордени Слави I і II ступенів, Орден Червоної Зірки, медаль «За взяття Берліна». Бив ворога полковник Іван Якимович Фелько, у бою загинув полковник Іван Васильович Літинський. Пройшов тяжкими шляхами війни полковник медичної служби Іван Денисович Андрощук. Добровольцем пішов на фронт Михайло Літинський, захищав місто Одесу.
Біля школи знаходиться могила воїнам, які визволяли село від німців і загинули в бою. На могильній плиті викарбувано імена 68 солдатів.

Незалежна Україна
12 червня 2020 року, відповідно до Розпорядження Кабінету Міністрів України № 707-р, «Про визначення адміністративних центрів та затвердження територій територіальних громад Вінницької області», увійшло до складу Хмільницької міської громади.

17 липня 2020 року, в результаті адміністративно-територіальної реформи і ліквідації колишнього Хмільницького району, село увійшло до складу новоутвореного Хмільницького району.

Christine Ahn é uma activista pela paz e escritora sul-coreana e estadunidense, fundadora da Woman Cross DMZ, um movimento global de mulheres que advogam pelo fim do conflito entre a Coreia do Norte e a Coreia do Sul, e co-fundadora do Korea Policy Institute (KPI).

Percurso
Christine Ahn nasceu na Coreia do Sul e imigrou para os Estados Unidos quando tinha 3 anos.

Filha mais nova de 10 irmãos, dos quais 9 eram mulheres, ganhou consciência sobre o papel da mulher na sociedade com a sua mãe, que apesar da sua baixa escolaridade e de ter passado por uma guerra e por uma ditadura, sustentava a família e a mantinha unida.

Christine tem um mestrado em Política Internacional pela Universidade de Georgetown e um certificado em Horticultura Ecológica pela Universidade da Califórnia,  e recebeu uma bolsa de investigação da Universidade de Michigan para estudar os esforços das mulheres das Coreias do Norte e do Sul que lutam para construir a paz na Zona Desmilitarizada da Coreia (DMZ).

Em 2005, Christine Ahn foi uma das fundadoras do Korea Policy Institute (KPI), um instituto educativo-académico criado por coreano-americanos.

Em 2014, Christine Ahn foi também uma das fundadoras da Women Cross DMZ, um movimento global de mulheres que advogam pelo fim do conflito entre a Coreia do Norte e a Coreia do Sul, pela reunião de famílias e que quer assegurar a liderança das mulheres na construção da paz.

Women Cross DMZ
Em 24 de maio de 2015 um grupo formado por 30 mulheres activistas pela paz, incluindo a feminista Gloria Steinem e duas ganhadoras do Prémio Nobel da Paz, Mairead Maguire da Irlanda do Norte e Leymah Gbowee da Libéria, cruzaram a Zona Desmilitarizada marchando da Coreia do Norte em direcção à Coreia do Sul, para exigir a realização de um tratado com vista ao término formal da Guerra da Coreia e a reunificação da península.

Dois anos após a campanha, em 2017, a coordenadora internacional da campanha Women Cross DMZ, Christine Ahn, foi impedida de entrar na Coreia do Sul. Segundo o Ministério de Justiça daquele país, a activista poderia ferir os interesses e a segurança pública nacionais. Em entrevista ao New York Times, Ahn disse suspeitar ter sido colocada na lista negra da Coreia do Sul pela então presidente Park Geun-hye, devido a sua participação na organização da campanha.

Reconhecimentos
A OMB Watch incluiu Ahn no seu Quadro de Mérito com uma Estrela em Ascensão de Interesse Público e quer a Fundação Agape como a Fundação Wallace Alexander Gerbode a reconheceram pelo seu activismo pela paz.

Question - Do nonprofit accounting standards serve to clarify a nonprofit's financial condition, or rather to obscure it?
Fifty years ago auto dealers decided to compete with one another by giving the consumer the impression that the sticker price of a car meant nothing. They would give you a "deal" on the car if you shopped with them rather than one of their competitors. "Making a deal" is now the institutionalized method of selling in the auto industry. The consumer no longer trusts any auto dealer and always leaves vaguely dissatisfied that he could have made a better "deal". This has cost the auto industry trillions of dollars over fifty years and a permanent lack of trust on the part of the auto buying public.
"Looking for loopholes" in nonprofit accounting regulations that, although legal, serve to obscure important financial metrics is damaging the reputation of all nonprofits. It has led to the creation of organizations like Charity Watch that feel it is their mission to protect donors from unscrupulous nonprofit agencies. Stakeholders are beginning to rely on the integrity of Charity Watch rather than the integrity of the nonprofit they seek to support.
This is, of course, a completely untenable and ironic turn of events brought on by nonprofits themselves. All nonprofits must be seen as - good people doing selfless good work. There must never be an issue of trust between a nonprofit agency and its stakeholders. Trust is the very foundation of the nonprofit industry.
Furthermore, one of the top reasons people become repeat donors to an organization is because they understand their donation's impact. Nonprofit financial reporting must seek to clarify where the money goes and what it is being used for.
Where there is knowledge - less trust is required - but more trust is engendered.
Depending on the accounting needs of your agency will determine the tools you will use. While Quickbooks can work for some - others with a more complex accounting process require something more. We've been customizing FAMCare's cost tracking and billing module to help agencies overcome challenges that sometimes occur when accounting is different. To learn more - request a demo today.


HOUSTON, Texas - Saturday night's Final Four will see a battle of #2 seeds when the Villanova Wildcats, winners of the South Region, meet the Oklahoma Sooners, who cut down the nets in the West. In what is sure to be one hell of a basketball game, us fans are in for an added treat as this game will bring together two of the hottest offenses in the country. Villanova is currently averaging 82.3 ppg thus far in the tourney, while the Sooners are dropping 81.0 ppg. For Villanova, their offensive output can be attributable to one thing – making shots. Through the first four games of the tourney, the Cats are 120-212 (56.6%) from the field, and a mind blowing 39-84 (46.4%) from behind the arc.
It is no surprise that Coach Jay Wright's offense revolves around the perimeter game, and when that goes well, so do the Cats. For years now, the Cats have been labeled primarily as a jump shooting team, oftentimes starting 4 guards and 1 post player. The knock on this style has been that when Nova is cold from the outside, that they have no Plan B option to turn to, and often exit the NCAA Tournament on such nights. The good side, however, is what we have been seeing over the last two weekends: a team shooting better than 56% from the field and whose average margin of victory is 19.3 ppg.
But outside shooting has not been the only cog in the Wildcats' wheel. While it is safe to say that when Villanova is hitting their outside shots – especially at the rate that they have been knocking them down this tournament – that they are very tough to beat. But an even truer statement is that when they are hitting their outside shots and defending in the manner in which they have been defending, they are virtually impossible to beat. The best thing that came out of last Saturday night's 64-59 victory over top seeded Kansas in the Elite Eight was the fact that Villanova did not shoot the ball especially well, but was still able to win the game. Why? Because they defended with reckless abandon, just like they have been the entire tournament. Nova forced the veteran Jayhawk team into committing 16 turnovers, while pocketing 11 steals. And this was no frosh backcourt that hasn't been here before. No, sir. This was a three-guard lineup (two juniors and a sophomore), out of the mighty Big 12 Conference, with 285 games of collective experience under their belts. Despite that, Villanova was able to exert enough pressure at the top to disrupt Kansas' offensive flow. In doing so, Kansas was never able to gain their full composure throughout the contest. That was quite evident in the offensive production of the Jayhawks' two leading scorers, senior F Perry Ellis, who was held to just 4 points on 1-5 shooting, and junior G Wayne Selden, who scored 16 points, but who was just 6-14 from the field, including 0-6 from three, and who at times struggled just to hit the rim from the outside.
On Saturday night, Villanova needs that same effort, and maybe a little bit more. While Kansas may have had the best team in the country, Oklahoma certainly has the best player in the country in Buddy Hield. The senior guard, who has been phenomenal the entire season, has been lights out in the NCAA's. Through 4 games, Hield is averaging 29.3 ppg on 56.7% shooting from the field, and has hit 19 of 40 (47.5%) from three. Yes, you can say that Buddy Hield has been feeling it. And while the West Region was, in fact, the Buddy Buckets Show, he did have help, mainly from his perimeter teammates, Jordan Woodward and Isaiah Cousins. Woodward was instrumental in all four of the Sooners' victories leading into the Final Four, averaging 16.8 ppg on 51.2% shooting, including 11-19 (57.9%) from three. Cousins, likewise, has been an integral part of Oklahoma's success with his steady 11.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 5.3 apg. Even greater than the Kansas trio, Hield, Cousins and Woodward bring with them 371 games of collective experience for Oklahoma.
The game, as you would expect from these two teams, is going to come down to perimeter play and execution from the playmakers. Villanova has to continue to move the ball on offense, create open looks and, most importantly, knock them down. If you recall from the original matchup between these two schools back on December 7th – a game won by the Sooners 78-55 – the Wildcats shot 20-63 (31.7%) from the field, including a pathetic 4-32 (12.5%) from three. That obviously cannot happen on Saturday night, no matter how dominant their defense is. Speaking of defense, the Cats need to continue to get after it and be aggressive on the perimeter. They must force the Sooners out of their normal rhythm as often as possible and, most importantly, stretch the court. By that I mean extend the defense and make Cousins and Woodward start offensive sets as far from the basket as they can, which Mikal Bridges and his 6'7" frame did a nice job of against Kansas at the head of their zone.
Oklahoma will also need to secure the perimeter. If Villanova shoots 45% or better from three, it is going to be an uphill battle for the Sooners. Offensively, the Buddy Hield that we have been seeing the last four games will need to continue to show up, but he will need help. It is possible for Hield to go for 35 and Oklahoma still lose the game. Villanova may be resound in letting Hield get his, and just concentrate on closing everyone else out. I doubt it, but with the way Hield has been shooting the ball, it is quite possible. The last thing Jay Wright wants is for his team to only focus on stopping Buddy Hield, and in doing so, allowing Woodward and Cousins to combine for 55-60 points, which they are more than capable of doing. With that being said, the Sooners will need a team effort offensively, which has been the case so far this tourney.
This is by no means on knock on Daniel Ochefu, Khadeem Lattin, or Ryan Spangler, but this game is going to come down to guard play on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The winner of the battle of the backcourts is almost certainly going to win this game and move on to play for that coveted national championship Monday night. It is going to be a good one.


Those who delved into the world of mobile VR in the past might not have been all sold by the limitless possibilities of the experiences, but Lenovo's upcoming Mirage Solo with Daydream headset might change their stance. That's because it's a fully integrated mobile VR headset that has all the components needed to deliver a rich and engaging experience that makes virtual reality oh-so satisfying! And you know what, it's not that bad at all!
We spent a fair amount of time checking out a few different experiences running on the Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream. Mobile VR experiences for the most part can be regarded as novel in comparison to the immersive experience we find in premium, PC-powered VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Sony PlayStation VR. However, Lenovo's offering delivers a convincing change that bridges the gap considerably.
First of all, the design of the headset looks exactly like the one employed by Sony's PlayStation VR – so the similarities between the two are uncanny! Using the same halo styled design, the headset fits comfortably over the head, while adjustments can be easily done to it. Best of all, it's a complete all-in-one, integrated solution that doesn't require any additional components for it to work or cables to connect to it. With a wireless experience in play here, there are no wires inhibiting us from freely moving around.
The headset itself features a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440 LCD panel, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, microSD card slot, 4000 mAh battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, 802.11 ac/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0 + LE. Just like Google's Daydream headset, this one is accompanied with a wireless motion controller that offers 3 degrees of freedom. A pair of tracking cameras on the front of the headset helps to immerse the experience further by going one-step beyond what we've been getting from traditional mobile VR headsets thus far, by allowing the headset to track head movements in more directions.
We checked out a few experiences, and we have to admit we're pleasantly surprised! One of our biggest concern was the graphical performance of the experiences, but after checking out this experience from the movie Blade Runner, we were quite impressed by the realism and quality of the graphics. Best of all, the tracking in the experience was spot on – allowing us to stoop down to inspect things, or even look around corners. Other games like this snowboarding one, which relied on head movements to get our player to move from side-to-side, provide even more evidence that this wireless mobile VR headset can deliver quality stuff.
In terms of pricing, the Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream headset is slated to come in at a price under $400 – while its anticipated release is scheduled for some time in the second quarter of this year. While the price might seem shocking given the significantly lower prices we have with current mobile VR headsets, we have to remind you that this is a complete wireless system that doesn't require additional purchases.
I noticed it supports up to 75 fps. Which isn't bad for a standalone 6 degrees of freedom Daydream VR headset. I am assuming that all Daydream apps will work on this headset. That includes now Steam VR support as well, since Daydream and the Pixels now have access to Steam VR as well.


Elaine Bishop was released from her role as Clerk of Canadian Yearly Meeting at the rise of CYM-in-Session this August. Elaine has served as Clerk for the past four years, graciously extending an initial three-year term to "finish some of the good things started, and also because no-one came forward to serve," as she put it.
A member of Winnipeg Monthly Meeting, Elaine had previously served as Clerk of CYM in the 1980s.
Elaine's birthday also happened to fall during CYM (August 12!), which was a great excuse to have cake.
Where do I start? To recognize Elaine and her amazing contribution to CYM would require an entire SIG time slot – and since that's no longer possible, I'll only share a few words. I would be remiss in not mentioning her tremendous, heartfelt work with CYM which is far-reaching and for which the benefits will last for many years to come. Her professional life with CYM is obvious – well done, Elaine and thank you; you deserve every accolade!
I began working with Elaine on Program Committee – and more closely when she was Clerk of the Committee. I admired her style, I admired her attitude, I admired her ability to guide a meeting by being both gentle and firm. I immediately respected her.
Elaine transitioned from Clerk of Program Committee to Clerk of the World (as Gordon McClure once joked when he was CYM Clerk some years ago! That always made me chuckle.) I watched as Elaine guided CYM through some difficult transitions with grace. Elaine has been there for me both personally and professionally – when I wasn't quite sure how to handle something, I instinctively knew who I could turn to.
Elaine, you leave a legacy and very big shoes to fill. CYM is fortunate to have you in the Quaker family and I am blessed and honoured to know you and have you in my life. I think I speak for all of us when I say you've more than earned putting your feet up and enjoying a hot cup of tea.
Elaine is one of the clearest thinkers I know. She has an extraordinary ability to simultaneously hold a vision of the big picture and the details that must be in place to achieve it.
Yesterday in Quaker Study, Manuela talked about gratitude as part of the inner journey of reconciliation.
Tomorrow we release Elaine from her service as Clerk of CYM, which followed a number of years of service as Clerk of Program Committee and previous service leading other CYM committees, including CFSC.
I hope we can allow Elaine space to explore a new rhythm to her life, and I hope Elaine can protect her own time to "love this land as Indigenous Peoples do." I am confident Elaine will continue to be with us in new and exciting ways.
Thank you, Elaine, for sharing yourself so generously.

A tiny rider is preparing to take on her first sponsored ride two days after her first birthday.
Verity Seignot and her trusty Shetland Super Noodles will be part of the Pony Pals therapy team which aims to raise £1,000 by completing the two-mile option in the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) Quest branch sponsored ride on 14 October.
Verity has been riding since she was two days old.
"It was on the way back from the hospital; I said we'd better swing by the horses!" mum Caroline told H&H.
"We've got a team of therapy ponies, who visit hospitals, care homes and prisons, and Super Noodles is one of them – he was also the one who came down the aisle at our wedding as the ring-bearer.
Caroline said she is a supporter of the RDA, as "anything that links people, therapy and riding is great" and that "the things they achieve are brilliant".
"So when I saw this ride, I thought we'll get involved," she added.
"We're doing the two-mile lead rein option. I'm not sure if there are jumps but we'll leave them if so, we're not that keen!
"Verity rides pretty much every day; she was in a basket saddle for six months but is astride now and she can trot. She goes hacking regularly, although we do get some funny looks.
"Riding releases endorphins and it's calming; she actually fell asleep once in the saddle, at her first show, just nodded off during the fancy dress.

A novel dimer of a C-type lectin-like heterodimer from the venom of Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper)
Runhua Wang, Chunguang Kong, Prasanna Kolatkar, Maxey C M Chung
We have isolated a potent platelet aggregation inducer from the crude venom of Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper), termed rhodoaggretin, with a novel oligomeric structure consisting of a dimer of C-type lectin-like heterodimers. On the basis of its native molecular mass of 66 kDa, and a Mr of 30 kDa for its disulfide-linked αβ-heterodimer, we propose that rhodoaggretin exists as a (αβ)2 complex in the native state. We postulate that the di-dimer is stabilized by non-covalent interactions as well as by an intersubunit disulfide bridge between the two αβ-heterodimers. This conclusion is based on the following observations: (a) sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the non-reduced rhodoaggretin gave a major 28 and a minor 52 kDa band. (b) Prior treatment of rhodoaggretin with a limited amount of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME; 0.1%) resulted in the complete abolishment of the 52 kDa band in SDS-PAGE. (c) Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE in the presence of 3% 2-ME showed that both the 28 and 52 kDa bands gave two bands each with Mrs of 18 (α-subunit) and 15 (β-subunit) kDa. (d) Mass spectrometric analyses showed that purified rhodoaggretin had a Mr of 30 155.39±3.25 Da while its s-pyridylethylated α- and β-subunits had Mrs of 16 535.62±2.98 and 15 209.89±1.61 Da respectively. These molecular weight data suggested the presence of 15 cysteinyl residues in rhodoaggretin as compared to the 14 that are reported for the heterodimeric C-type lectin-like proteins. This extra cysteinyl residue is a candidate for the formation of the intersubunit disulfide bond in the (αβ)2 complex. (e) Homology structural modeling studies showed that the extra cysteinyl residue can indeed form a disulfide bond that covalently links the two αβ-heterodimers as proposed above.
