SINGAPORE: After seeing his lover's sick daughter die due to lack of money for hospital bills, a man decided to embezzle money from the restaurant he worked at when the other daughter fell ill from the same condition.
Maja Iskandaria Mohamed Juffri, 35, took a total of S$21,223 from the Monti at 1-Pavilion restaurant in Collyer Quay between Mar 28 and Apr 19 this year.
This amount, the court heard, was remitted to his lover in the Philippines, where her daughter was suffering from kidney failure.
The former assistant manager at the Italian restaurant was sentenced to nine months' jail on Monday (Oct 21) for one count of criminal breach of trust as a servant.
In his role, Maja collected the upscale restaurant's daily cash proceeds, and was tasked with keeping the money in the restaurant's safe before depositing it into a bank account the next day.
He began taking money from the safe this year, and initially returned the amounts at the end of the month when he received his salary.
"However, the amounts that he took from the restaurant's safe kept increasing, and eventually he was unable to return the monies that he had misappropriated," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Sheldon Lim.
In total, he took money from the restaurant on 20 occasions, in amounts ranging from S$23.50 to S$5,469.50, court documents showed.
Employees at the restaurant's finance department noticed in April that the daily sales proceeds had not been deposited for some time, and the Monti's general manager confronted Maja, who admitted to his acts.
He claimed that he had remitted all the money to his then-girlfriend in the Philippines. To date, he has returned about S$760 of the S$21,223 he took.
HE HAS SIMILAR PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS: PROSECUTOR
The prosecution had pushed for nine months' jail, saying Maja had previous convictions from 2013 and 2014 for criminal breach of trust and other offences.
The current offence was carried out in "quite a premeditated manner", said the prosecutor.
"He was using the restaurant as his personal bank account, and in fact had a system to avoid detection where he could repay the money at the end of the month, and this system worked until he lost control of his finances."
Maja, who was unrepresented, told the court that he realised his mistake, but said "my intention was to save a life".
"The person I sent money to was my son's mother. We are not married," he explained. "She had a previous marriage (and) two daughters. Her first daughter passed away in 2016 of a similar case as her younger sister.
"At that time, I couldn't save her, because when we went to the hospital, they demanded a certain payment at 3am in the morning, which I couldn't, and the next following morning, she passed away," said Maja, who was emotional as he spoke.
"In 2019 this year, a similar case happened to her younger sister, which is kidney failure, and I didn't want it to happen - even though we are separated, she is still the mother of my son," he said.
"I support her financially. I knew if I couldn't help her ... she could go into depression and my son would be affected too."
I REALISE THAT I'VE MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE SUFFER: ACCUSED
He said this was why he committed the offence "without thinking twice".
"But now, when I'm being bailed out, that's when I realise that (in) trying to save one life, I've made a lot of people suffer," he said.
This includes his sick mother and his five-year-old son, who is studying in the Philippines.
"A lot of other people suffered because of my stupidity."
He pleaded with the judge to be lenient, and said his former employer from a different company has supported him, acting as his bailor, and is willing to rehire him after his jail term.
"He told me I'm already 35 and it's time for me to move forward with my life. He told me that once I'm out from prison, he will take me in again as my employer to support me," said Maja.
"I really hope you will be lenient in your sentencing, your honour."
The prosecutor said there was no real way to ascertain the veracity of his plea, as Maja did not provide the police with any documents showing he had remitted the misappropriated money to the Philippines.
However, Maja said he had told the police that he could not show them the receipts at the time, but if he applied to the bank for them now, he could.
District Judge Carol Ling said she was willing to take his word for it, but "of course that doesn't condone what you have done".
"The ends do not justify the means of how you have gone about doing it," she said. "I think prosecution's sentence of nine months is more than fair."
The judge added: "Let me also add, you do have people who believe in you, there is a lot more that is ahead, so Mr Maja, don't look back and don't give yourself a reason to come back to court again."
For criminal breach of trust by a servant, Maja could have been jailed for up to 15 years and fined.

Time to put on your Red, Wild and Blue, America, to celebrate the 4th of July! Tune in to Sportsman Channel all day long on July 4th to celebrate their Salute To Service. What better way to celebrate American freedom than by being outside enjoying God's green earth? It honors those who sacrifice so much to keep us free! God bless our U.S. military, our vets, and all who support them! I love that you're so proud to be an American.
NEW BERLIN, WI (July 2, 2014) – Sportsman Channel celebrates freedom and the great outdoors on July 4th with an exclusive Independence Day Celebration presented by Bravo Company. The day-long event runs from Noon-8 p.m. ET.
Programming for Sportsman Channel's Independence Day Celebration features a powerful line-up of shows dedicated to service, sacrifice, and celebrating the outdoor lifestyle. The all-day marathon will pay tribute to all military, first responders, and families of those who risk their lives for the safety of others. Every program throughout the day will recognize servicemen and women and their connections to the great outdoors.
Featured programming includes a two-hour block of back-to-back episodes of Saving Private K-9, hosted by R. Lee Ermey, as well as back-to-back episodes of Amazing America with Sarah Palin. NRANews Cam & Co. also will air a special July 4th hour-long block featuring Skull Bound TV host Jana Waller along with host Cam Edwards.
Additionally, Southern Game Calls (SGC) presents "The Resistance" sponsored by Mojo Outdoors. Mojo teams up with AHERO Foundation, an organization that connects veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with other war veterans and patriotic members of local communities through outdoor and social activities. The hosts accompany two wounded veterans and America's finest Marines to South Africa on a safari.
The Independence Day Celebration also will follow three competitors at the United States Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) Small Arms Championship in Fort Benning, Ga. The USAMU hosts its event disguised as a competition.
Award winning actor and veterans rights advocate Gary Sinise returns to Sportsman Channel, appearing throughout the day in his role as spokesperson for the network's Salute to Service initiative – an ongoing multimedia effort to celebrate American servicemen and women, and raise awareness of issues and opportunities facing all the men and women who serve this great country. Launched in 2013, the program spans everything from series programming and documentaries to social media and editorial. Salute to Service takes center stage on Sportsman Channel during every major holiday that commemorates the U.S. military's sacrifices and successes, including Memorial Day, July 4th and Veterans Day. In expanding its content and coverage in 2014, Sportsman Channel's initiative reflects its audience's strong connection to military service, stories, people and patriotism.
Sportsman will air video vignettes – courtesy of the Department of Defense – from active military serving throughout the world. The salutes will offer an innovative chance for active military personnel to connect with their families back home through multiple media sources including a second screen application. Viewers can actively participate by tweeting messages of encouragement, pride and why they are so wild about being American by using the hashtag #RedWildBlue and watch them live on-air throughout the marathon programming.
Gov. Palin: Keep trucking, Colonel [Maness]!
We're in the Pacific northwest this week at a Sheeran family reunion. My cousins Trish and Jason Morgan are both proud Air Force vets, and we're so proud of them along with our family members in all the other branches of service! The Morgans were singing the praises today of their former supervisor, Col. Rob Maness, who is currently running for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana.
I'm very proud to have endorsed Col. Maness, who is busy this week rolling out positive ideas and solutions to get America back on the right track. Leave it to a military man, not a politician, to break the code to victory. Col. Maness released a 12-point contract with voters that they can hold him accountable for once in office. Rob's driving his F-150 across Louisiana on a 50 Town Hall tour he's calling "Solutions For Us" to discuss these ideas to restore our country. If you're in Louisiana but can't make it to one of his town halls, Tweet him a question to @RobManess and use the hashtag #solutionsforus. Keep trucking, Colonel! GOP, we need more fresh candidates like him!

Cruise Line Says Goodbye to Last Minute Cruise Deals
BY BEN SOUZA
CRUISE FEVER
One of the perks enjoyed by cruisers who have flexible schedules are the last minute discounts offered by cruise lines. However, according to a report by Business Week , one cruise line is making an attempt to no longer offer these discounts to help improve customer satisfaction.
During the recent earnings call, Royal Caribbean's CEO Richard Fain said that many cruisers who book early are discontent with the last minute discounting. The fares offered a week or less before sailing can often be found at a discount of 50-75% less than those who booked the same cruise 10-12 months earlier. Cruise lines offer these steep discounts so that every cruise ship sails as close to capacity as possible.
Royal Caribbean has set in place a "more consistent approach on pricing" with the help of moving ships away from the popular cruise destinations of the Caribbean. By lowering capacity to the Caribbean, the cruise line is betting that fewer berths available will result in fewer empty cabins on embarkation days.
Richard Fain said that even if ships sail below capacity, it would improve the satisfaction level of guests and "strengthen the perception" of the Royal Caribbean brand. It is no secret that sailing on a cruise that is less than capacity is more enjoyable due to shorter lines around the ship and an increased crew to passenger ratio.
During the past decade, cruise lines have built an abundance of new cruise ships that are double or triple in size compared to ships built before 2000. The growth of the cruise industry has not kept up with the added berths from the new cruise ships.
This has led to steep last minute discounts as cruise lines scramble to fill all of the empty cruise berths.
No other cruise lines have publicly stated that they plan on following this business model by Royal Caribbean. Carnival, the largest cruise line in the world, has said in the past that they plan on moving some ships away from the Caribbean in an effort to lower capacity to the region.
Time will tell on whether last minute cruise deals will stay, or go away for good. Considering that Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and MSC all have multiple orders for 4,000+ passenger ships in the next 5 years, they are unlikely to go away completely.

Il est par conséquent, le principal antagoniste de Max Payne 3.

Wilson Da Silva

Apparait dans Max Payne 3.

Inspecteur de police cynique mais tenace, Da Silva se fait tout d'abord passer pour un policier sans saveur, et complètement désabusé. Au fur et à mesure que l'intrigue avance, il révèle progressivement à Max Payne la réalité d'une situation que celui-ci n'a pas vu, ou n'a pas voulu voir depuis qu'il travaille pour la famille Branco. Dans l'incapacité d'agir puisque la police de Sao Paulo ne peut s'attaquer seule aux magouilles de la famille Branco, Da Silva se sert de Max Payne pour donner un grand coup de pied dans la fourmillière... avec une efficacité redoutable.

Q: Find a complex number that satisfies the equation Find one complex value
of $x$ that satisfies the equation
$\sqrt{3}\cdot x^7+x^4 +2=0$

A: Try nice numbers: You can verify that $x=\exp(j\frac{\pi}{6})$ is a solution. Or cheat like I did: Let the computer solve it, find a solution with norm roughly $1$, calculate its phase, divide that by $\pi$, see if you get a nice number, substitute and verify.
Another nice solution is $\exp(-j\frac{\pi}{6})$. The other $5$ solutions are roughly:
$-1.105404520811946$

The orthodox medical treatment for glaucoma is through surgery, which relieves the internal pressure in the eye due to excess fluid. This, however, does not remove the cause of the presence of the excess fluid. Consequently, even after the operation, there is no guarantee whatsoever that the trouble will not recur, or that it will not effect the other eye. The natural treatment for glaucoma is the same as that for any other condition associated with high toxicity and is directed towards preserving whatever sight remains, If treated in the early stages, the results are encouraging. Though cases of ad¬vanced glaucoma may be beyond cure, even so, certain nutritional and other biological approaches can prove effective in controlling the condition and preserving the re¬maining sight.
Patients suffering from glaucoma should scrupulously avoid certain foodstuffs. Coffee in particular, should be completely avoided because of its high caffeine content. Caffeine causes stimulation of vasoconstrictors; elevating blood pressure and increasing blood flow to the eye. Beer and tobacco. Which can cause constriction of blood vessels, should also be avoided. Tea should be taken only in moderation. The patient should not take excessive fluids, whether it is juice, milk or water at any time. He may drink small amounts, several times a day with a minimum of one hour intervals.
The diet of the patient suffering from glaucoma should be based on three basic food groups, namely seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits, with em¬phasis on raw vitamin C-rich foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. Valuable sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grape-fruits and limes; green leafy vegetables like cabbages, beets and turnips; indian gooseberry, sprouted Bengal and green grams. The same diet as that prescribed for cataract (Chapter 12) should be taken by those suffering from glaucoma. The various methods for relaxing and strengthening the eyes outlined in that chapter will also be beneficial in the treatment of glaucoma.
Certain nutrients have been found helpful in the treatment of glaucoma. It has been found that the glaucoma patients are usually deficient in vitamins A, B, C, protein, calcium and other minerals. Nutrients such as calcium and B-complex have proved beneficial in relieving the introculars condition. Many practitioners believe that introcular pressure in glaucoma can be lowered by vitamin C therapy. Dr. Michele Virno and his colleagues demonstrated recently in Rome, Italy that the average person weighing 150 pounds given 7000 mg. Of ascorbic acid, five times daily, acquired acceptable introcular pressure within 45 days. Symptoms such as mild stomach discomfort and diarrhoea, resulting from the in¬take of large doses of vitamin C, were temporary and soon disappeared. It has been suggested that some calcium should always be taken with each dose of ascor¬bic acid to minimise any side effects of the large dose.
The patient should avoid emotional stress and cultivate a tranquil and restful life style as glaucoma is considered to be a 'stress disease'. He should also avoid excessive watching of television and movies as also ex¬cessive reading as such habits can lead to prolonged straining of the eyes.
25 black raisins soaked overnight in water along with the water in which they are soaked and water kept overnight in a copper vessel.
Fresh fruit, a glass of milk, sweetened with honey, and some seeds or nuts.
Freshly-prepared steamed vegetables, whole-wheat wheat tortilla and a glass of buttermilk.
Raw vegetable salad and sprouts such as alfalfa and green gram beans, with lime juice dressing an cottage cheese or buttermilk.
A glass of fresh milk with few dates.
The menu for lunch and dinner are interchangeable.
Coffee, strong tea, soft drinks, alcohol and tobacco, excessive fluids, sugar, white flour and products made from refined foods, flesh foods, condiments and pickles.
Especially Beneficial: Raw vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, Indian gooseberry (indian gooseberry), sprouted Bengal and green grams, vitamin B-complex, and calcium.
1. Various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes.
2. Proper sleep and adequate rest.
3. Fresh air and outdoor exercises, especially brisk walks.
Glaucoma is often referred to, as the silent eye disease, as it can cause some serious damage to the optic nerve in the eye. This condition usually occurs when the fluids that are present in the eye, i.e., the aqueous humor, do not drain out the way it should. As the pressure of the fluid builds up in the eye, it injures the optic nerve and could also lead to a loss of peripheral vision. This process is usually painless and occurs in such a subtle way that most people do not even realize that something is wrong. This is probably why it is known as the silent eye disease. In fact most people only notice the reduction in their vision, after the damage that has occurred is permanent. This condition should be checked and treated as soon as possible or else it could lead to an eye condition known as "tunnel vision", where the side vision is completely lost and people can only see what is straight ahead of them. In some severe cases, this condition has also been known to lead to complete blindness.
While treating this condition, several optometrists use not just medication, but may also advise patients to make a few lifestyle changes and switch over to a glaucoma diet. One of the main benefits of following the diet for glaucoma is that it can help prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Following a diet for glaucoma patients in the initial stages of the condition may also be able to repair some of the damage that has already been caused to the eyes.
What is a diet for glaucoma?
• Increasing the intake of foods that are high in carotenoids, since they are absolutely essential for good eye health. This means that people need to increase their consumption of certain fruits and vegetables like oranges, leafy green veggies and yellow vegetables, such as peppers.
• The consumption of foods that are rich in magnesium and chromium should also be increased, as they can help treat and improve the condition. Foods that are high in these substances are apples, brewer's yeast, kelp, leafy green veggies, sunflower oil and safflower oil.
• Foods that contain a bioflavonoid known as anthocyanidin should be consumed on a regular basis, since it helps to fight off the free radicals in the body. It also plays an important role in keeping the levels of collagen around the eye flexible and healthy. Foods that contain high amounts of this bioflavonoid are cherries and blueberries.
• Foods that are high in Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin E can help protect the eyes and therefore, are an essential part of a diet for glaucoma patients. Therefore, apart from fruits and vegetables, it is important for people who are suffering from glaucoma, to consume whole grains, nuts and seeds on a regular basis. Several health experts talk about the correlation between glaucoma and nuts, touting the benefits of various nuts for the eyes.
• Studies indicate that the regular consumption of green tea can help protect the eyes from further glaucoma damage, because the retina and the aqueous humor that are present in the eyes absorb the antioxidants from the green tea.
• One of the most important glaucoma foods to avoid is coffee, or any other beverage that contains high amounts of caffeine. This is because caffeine can reduce the flow of blood to the eye, which in turn aggravates the condition further.
• Alcohol should be strictly avoided by people who are suffering from glaucoma. This is because alcohol usually has an adverse effect on the liver and excessive amounts of it can also lead to a toxic liver, which has been known to worsen the condition of glaucoma.
• Morning snack: 25 black raisins, which have been soaked in water overnight.
• Bedtime snack: Milk, with a few dates.
Apart from dietary changes, there are several lifestyle changes, which can also help control the condition. First of all, it is absolutely essential for people to get an adequate amount of sleep on a daily basis. Apart from sleep, it is important to spend at least half an hour every day, exercising. There are also several exercises and techniques that can help relax and strengthen the eyes. Many people try Yoga and other eye exercises to improve their eyesight and overall eye health.
Before making any dietary changes, it is highly recommended that people check with an optometrist for more information on the correlation between a diet and glaucoma. People who are suffering from any other preexisting medical conditions should also check with a doctor before switching over to a glaucoma diet.

For reasons of weather, the Nao Victoria delays its arrival in Águilas and will open its decks to the public one day later than expected.
Tomorrow it will depart from Cartagena towards Águilas, where from November 7th it will be possible until the 18th of the same month, it can be visited in the Fishing Pier of the city.
It is a faithful historical replica of 26 m.
of manga, pine and oak, where visitors can tour their decks, admire their shapes and details, and know their history and the living conditions of the crew that five centuries ago managed to surround the planet.
Going down to their warehouse they will also be able to experience how the men and women who now make up their crew live.
A ship with a lot of history, which has sailed thousands of nautical miles all over the world spreading its extraordinary feat and the work of the Spanish sailors in the great maritime expeditions.
During the years 2004/2006 he completed his own tour around the world, traveling more than 26,000 miles and making stops in 17 countries, being the first boat of these characteristics to complete a similar voyage.
Since then, he has made several tours of US ports.
and Europe receiving thousands of visits.
Its stopover in Águilas is part of the great tour that is being carried out this year by ports in Spain, to spread the V Centennial of the First World Tour whose great commemoration begins in 2019, within the framework of the activities of the National Commission constituted for this event.


In order to get permission to sell crafts using the trademark of a third party you will need to negotiate a trademark license with the holder of the appropriate trademark. Some organizations may be happy to license their marks for use free of charge provided that you identify the appropriate source of the trademark. Other organizations may require that you provide them with a sample of the crafts you intend to sell or other guarantees that you will not misuse their mark.
Trademarks are used to protect the goodwill associated with a product or service and to correctly identify the individual or organization providing those goods or services. Because your use of a trademark on a craft could create consumer confusion as to the source of the craft, it is important that you get permission to use a third party trademark before using a trademark on your crafts as you could face charges for trademark infringement or trademark dilution.
The best way to begin the process of getting permission to sell crafts with a trademark is to identify the correct owner of the trademark. In some instances, the registration for the mark you want to use may have lapsed so you will not need to actually negotiate a license. Search for the trademark at the United States Patent and Trademark Office's search system located in the resources section. You may also search for the trademark in any applicable state trademark databases.
Once of you located the correct owner of the trademark you wish to use, determine if they have a trademark licensing office or an attorney of record. Contact the attorney or trademark licensing office and determine if the organization has a standard protocol for licensing their trademark for uses such as crafts. If the organization does not have a protocol regarding trademark licensing, ask if they would be amenable to a proposed licensing agreement and have a licensing agreement prepared by a trademark attorney. Many large organizations have trademark licensing departments that regularly handle these types of requests.
Trademark licensing agreements often contain terms protecting the holder of the trademark and limiting the licensee's use of the mark to a specified purpose. You should have designs and examples of your proposed craft ready for disclosure as the organization may have an approval process. Additionally, the organization may require that you sign a royalty agreement guaranteeing them royalties on each craft you sell.
Trademark identification can be a difficult process, as there are many different sources of trademarks. In addition to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, trademarks may be issued by individual state governments as well as governments from foreign jurisdictions. In order to adequately protect your mark, you must ensure that it is correctly identified and that it does not infringe on the mark of another.
A trademark is a unique symbol, phrase or word used to distinguish one brand of goods or services from another. Technically, a trademark is protected as soon as it is used to conduct business, although registering the mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office provides additional advantages. In any case, a search of the agency's Trademark Electronic Search System, or TESS, can help to ensure a duplicate mark does not already exist.
Trademarks and patents are valuable property rights that you acquire for your products, including toys. A trademark is a logo, word, phrase or design that you use to identify the toy. You acquire rights in the trademark as soon as you use the trademark -- registration is not required. A patent for your toy can only be obtained from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Another hedgehog has been included in the BIMA 100
Billy Wood
We're always buzzing when one of our talented team get the recognition they deserve, so we're thrilled to reveal that UX Researcher, Emily Hewitson, has been named one of Britain's brightest digital talents by BIMA.
Emily's inclusion in the prestigious BIMA 100 2019 list was revealed last night (Wednesday 8 May) at a ceremony in London's OXO Tower. Rubbing shoulders with some of Britain's most recognisable names in the tech, design and digital sectors, Emily has been included in the industry body's Rising Star category which recognises those under 30 who are already making waves in the industry.
The award category, which is also the same that our Lead Designer, Luke Medlock was included in last year, earmarks the digital leaders of the future owing to the influence and impact they are having right now within their respective organisations and industries.
Since joining the business in 2018, Emily has played a central role in shaping hedgehog lab's User Experience Design Research (UXDR) team, which has now become a core part of our service offering.
Emily also becomes the third hedgehog lab employee to be recognised in the industry-leading list, following on from Luke's recognition last year and CEO Sarat Pediredla's inclusion in 2017.
Following the announcement, Emily commented: "It's truly amazing to be recognised by such a prestigious organisation in a list that I've followed closely over the years. To be in the company of such incredibly talented individuals from some of biggest companies in Britain is a real honour.
"I'd like to thank all my co-workers and colleagues at hedgehog lab who have been so supportive during my time here and I can't wait to get stuck into even more UX projects over the next 12 months."
Chief Design Officer at hedgehog lab, Ray Clarke, added: "Ever since she joined hedgehog lab it's been obvious that Emily provides unique insight to our work thanks to her natural curiosity and background in psychology.
"In her time at hedgehog lab, she has worked with some massive brands who have all been impressed with the insight she has provided. She's also a fearless challenger of assumptions that, along with the rest of the UXDR team, has played a big part in taking our projects to the next level.
"This sort of recognition is richly deserved and I've got no doubt that Emily will continue to make her mark in the industry for years to come."
Catch up with some of Emily's UX insight that has led to her BIMA 100 recognition.

Lincy Institute Report: How Connected is Southern Nevada's Nonprofit Network?
Social network analysis of 460 local nonprofits in health, social services and education reveals the organizations that "make things happen."
Please note that this Release is more than three years old and details may have changed since the publish date.

A new report by The Lincy Institute at UNLV details the first comprehensive study of the partnering power of Southern Nevada nonprofits, highlighting several organizations as leaders for their ability to work together, leverage resources and information, and mobilize the nonprofit community.
Many of the issues facing Southern Nevada are complex and interrelated, which report authors say requires a coordination of services and resources in ways that exceed the capacity of any single organization. Authors also cite an increasing desire of funding organizations to support collaborative efforts, which further underscores the importance of partnership.
Close to 300 executive directors and leaders from health, education and social service nonprofit groups in Southern Nevada were surveyed on their organizations, connectivity within the nonprofit community, and operational challenges. Researchers then analyzed the survey results using specialized software to measure how information and resources flow between organizations, and which have the most influence, or connectivity, within the network.
Those organizations with the most connectivity were identified as leaders, including UNLV, United Way, HELP of Southern Nevada, Catholic Charities, Three Square, Clark County School District, Goodwill of Southern Nevada, and Opportunity Village.
"Nonprofit leaders are those who influence the opinions, motivations and/or behaviors of other organizations and stakeholders. These are the agencies that 'make things happen,'" report authors write. Through this research, the Lincy Institute has been able "to identify which organizations are the most active within Southern Nevada's nonprofit network, which have the greatest access to information and resources, and which organizations can serve as brokers, intermediaries and innovators of development and change."
The report also identifies survey results on the top opinion leaders within the nonprofit network and perceived barriers to collaboration. It also highlights a number of smaller organizations for their important role as connectors and information brokers, and as models for organizations with limited resources and budgets.
Report authors include Shannon Monnat, a former UNLV assistant professor of sociology and now assistant professor of rural sociology and demography at Penn State University; Anna Smedly, a UNLV Ph.D. student in sociology; and Fatma Nasoz, senior resident scholar of information technology at The Lincy Institute.

Q: MySQL Reading from a table while it's being written I have a script which writes to a table each day. It takes 5 hours to write.
During this time, if you try to read from the table, it says you can't because it's LOCKED.
Is there a way around this, so you can still read from the table?
Thanks


You don't have to give up your favorite meals just because you have diabetes, but you need to know how your choices affect your blood sugar. A diabetes educator or dietitian can teach you how to count carbs, read food labels, and size up portions. Those skills will let you control your diabetes and keep your taste buds happy at the same time.
Want an easy way to get a balanced meal? Separate your plate into three zones. First, divide it in half. Fill one side with veggies like spinach, broccoli, carrots, or green beans.
Next, split the empty side into two halves. Use one for starchy foods such as potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain bread or pasta. In the last section, add meat or another protein. On top of that, you can also have an 8-ounce glass of low-fat milk and a half-cup of fruit.
Every day, jot down important info like your blood sugar levels, what you ate, exercise you did, and medicine you took. It will help you and your doctor see if your diabetes treatment is working. Also write down your goals and feelings. It will let you stay on track and remind you about topics you want to ask your doctor about.
Common illnesses like colds, flu, and diarrhea can raise your blood sugar. At the same time, your diabetes makes it harder to fight infections. So be prepared. Store snacks that are easy on the stomach but can still give you enough fluids and carbs. Check your blood sugar more often when you're sick. Also, know when to check for ketones and when to call your doctor. And don't forget to get a flu vaccine every year.
If you take pills or injections, keep 3 days' worth of your meds and supplies on hand in case of an emergency. Since some of your diabetes drugs may affect other medications -- even ones you buy without a prescription -- tell your doctor before you try anything new. Make a list of everything you take, and bring it to your doctor and dentist appointments.
Cut down on the tension in your life and your diabetes will thank you. Stress can raise your blood sugar and may lead you to make poor food choices, too.
Exercise is a great way to ease the strain. It raises the levels of chemicals in your brain that make you feel good. There are lots of ways to get active. Work out in the gym, join a sports team, or take dance lessons. The main thing is to keep moving!
You don't have to cram your physical activity into one big burst. Spread it out over the day. Three 10-minute walks are as good as 30 minutes at once. Regular, moderate workouts will do a world of good. They help control your blood sugar, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and ease stress.
You can prevent muscle loss if you do strength training, like lifting weights or using resistance equipment. Studies suggest it also improves how your body uses insulin and sugar. And of course, it's a great way to lose weight, too.
Use a hand mirror or ask someone to help you look for cuts, swelling, or changes in color. Don't forget to look between your toes, too. If you see anything, call your doctor right away. And let him know if you get any corns or calluses, too.
Make caring for your feet part of your daily routine. Wash and moisturize them every day, and keep your toenails trimmed.
If you smoke, pick a date to quit. That gives you the chance to get ready for it. You might need help to beat the mental and physical parts of nicotine addiction. Stop-smoking programs, support groups, and wellness centers can offer professional help. Whether you quit cold turkey or use other treatments to help you kick the habit, having time to prepare for it may boost your chances of success.
Your doctor might say it's OK for you to have an occasional drink. But only do that when you can eat something along with it, because alcohol can cause low blood sugar.
Also, have some water handy in case you get thirsty. Mixed drinks can raise your blood sugar if you use juice or a regular soda as your mixer. Women should have no more than one drink a day, and men no more than two.

The problem is that the caption text fonts for figures and tables are displayed strangely totally different from document text font as shown below. Any idea how this issue can be solved, I am using texstudio:


Oh! We should call him HUG Sorry, I'm exhausted and think that's funnier than it probably is.
I have no real update. I'm tired. I didn't study.
oooh wer gettin near the end of this thread. ok so last nite: i texted ben and he didnt get the text till lots later when i was asleep (his phones screwed up so thats not unusual) anyyway he was rele rele apologetic about waking me up but i decided to be all flirty and say "dont worry bout it. course im nawt mad at u!! texting u is wayy more intresting than sleeping (: " yadda yadda, and i think that may hav raised his confedence level cuz not too many texts after he asked me to hang out saturday (first time being together since we were offically together does this mean its a date??? anyone?) and i said "ya. id like that." he said me too smily face. idk wt it is but smily faces over texts are jus....so sweet lol. then i said i had to sleep and he wrote back "nite (;" lol winking faces to me are like "ooooh ow ow" rele flirty haha so now i hav a question: tone of voice for different smiley faces. wt do they mean to you when texting with a crush/bf?
-oh and another thing. he likes little kids and like babysits. HUGE turn on for me lol its like he's working from a list or something!!! lol aww gawd i jus hope he TALKS when we hang out on saturday.
gus: like ik ur suchhhh a cutie!
-ken's so cute! lol hes a dork (and wow omg IN THE BAND) but i think he has a crush on me. awww its flattering.
ill tell ya what was missing from Breaking Dawn! a full paragraph... page... CHAPTER of edward cullen naked!!!
tiffi wrote: gus: ur lovely.
Ahhh...there's the nugget of real feeling among the banter.
I am kinda content with life right now. Lu asked Chelsea to the dance. Guess waht? She already has a date!!! Woot! Yay for me!!! lol. But he doesn't even want ot go to the dance (like before he asked her he didnt want to go either. ) so i have to convince him to go. At the moment i'm not so pissed that i'll be going alone otherwise. So him and I are totally normal again. It makes me content.
And tomorrow i have a party to go to and Josh will be there...without his girlfriend... and there will be dancing (in a dark room) so i hope that i can resist him. Really hope so.

Tiffi! Gus is so funny. But probably not the best person to be flirting with you...it should actually be Ben. Oh well. Haha. I love you. As for your question, I use lots of smileys in my texts and IMs. I use this one : D and that is not really flirty, but Eli uses it in a flirty way. When he teases me. Which he does. All. The. Time. And I use the winky smiley. :] Hehe. I love that one.
Me: "Does it have anything to do with Twilight?"
Him: "It's similar to an idea in Twilight I guess."
Me: "ARE YOU A VAMPIRE?"
Me: "So that's the prize?"
Me: "I think you're making the whole prize thing up."
Him: "Not a chance; I have an idea."
So now it's a mystery.
hahahhaa. That's so awesome. He's adorable. I wonder if he's going to take you to ssee the movie... i have a feeling that could be it. Then again that is way far along.
Marie: I think Eli's is referencing the "I want to try something" scene. Just a guess. *cough* Let us know how that all goes..
School today was pretty uneventful.
So getting ready for the show, a few things happened.
Joey and Coomer both approached me, standing really close to me, and Coomer said, "Do you hate me?" And I was like, "No, Coomer." And he said, "So we're friends, right?" And I said, "Yes, Coomer, why are you asking me this?" And Joey chimed in, "Because sometimes we just can't tell. I mean, I love you, but we just can't tell sometimes..." Haha. But they were really close to me and Andy busted in and was like, "Step off her!" Lol. So later they made me give them hugs and tell them that I love them so they could be happy again... Haha.
And after the show, Patrick was like, "It was really great working with you. Really. I'm really glad you were in this show. *big bear hugs*" It was really cute.
So Joey kept talking to me with other people around and he'd be like, "I need to talk to you later." I was like whaaa? And at one point he goes, "Christine, you look beautiful..." Me: "Thanks, Joey." Him: "Isn't is weird when you tell a friend, who you might have a crush on or something, that they look good and then there's an awkward silence... And you don't know whether to say, 'Just kidding' and seem like a jerk or whether to say nothing and look creepy... Oh yes, that's amusing..." I was like, "Uh... You lost me..." Haha. AWKWARD.
This is a side note, but there was some random couple who were sitting in the center just making out the whole time... It was creepy.
Nothing really big has happened so I decided to post a question for this night. With only one page left I figure we can end this thread with answering the question I have yet come up with . . . It's getting difficult after all this time, that's why they're all ridiculous these days.
Have you ever pretended you had a significant other, or at least a pretty serious crush, to prevent someone from asking you out/on a date?
Tonight I think I'm pretty guilty of this. I hadn't really texted/talked to my Marcas, but tonight I initiated that while at the football game. I was sitting by two of my friends while various others stood around, one being the guy who asked me to prom but I said no to, Lucas. The background of my phone right now happens to be Marcas . . . So while I'm texting, my friend Madi takes my phone and is like "Who is that??! AMIGO ESPECIAL!" [Spanish for "special friend", an inside joke with the entire AP class about boys/girls who are not boyfriends/girlfriends]. Now, Lucas asked out Madi in the past but she had just been through a break-up. I kind of thought he might be lurking for me again so I wasn't too objective of her yelling that out, but still. And so he asks me who it is and I try to cut it short by saying, "My friend from camp who lives in Indiana". He just sort of goes "Oh" as he looks at the quite good-looking Marcas, if I do say so myself; even on my phone w/ a crap camera.
It did seem to work, though.
Oh, and I just read Christine's since she posted while I was writing: Ummm, you're awesome. The end.

Ask and You Shall Receive - Setting Intentions.
About a year ago Jamie gave me a gift of piano lessons to take whenever I wanted. Or, whenever I made time. I still haven't made the time. But, about a month ago I told him that I have changed my mind, and I wanted to trade in my piano lessons for swim lessons. I don't know how to swim. I know how to get myself from one end of the pool to the other without drowning, but I've never learned *how* to swim. Watching me swim is painful to any onlooker. It's about as entertaining to watch as it is watching Jamie snowboard down the mountain. Flailing arms and legs, completely out of control and barely staying afloat.
About two weeks ago I was telling a girlfriend how much Hudson loves his swim class, and how I would really like to take swim lessons and become a strong swimmer. About one week ago, Jamie was given an opportunity to take a Total Immersion intensive swim course this week in Coronado, (http://www.totalimmersion.net/), but he has to work, so I get to take the course in his place. Lucky me! I got what I asked for in less than one month's time; not a bad turn-around time. And I don't believe it had anything to do with "luck". I set my intention on swimming lessons, and I put it out to the universe.
This is not the first time I've set an intention and then watched it pop up in my life. (Stay tuned for part two of setting your intentions for the most amazing story of getting exactly what I asked for). The universe is filled with energy, and when you set an intention and hold it in your mind, that energy moves you in the direction that you want to go. I know, some of you are thinking - energy, c'mon?! Don't take my word for it, give it a try. Set an intention for something small, but something you don't see showing up in your life every day. A ladybug, or a purple ball. Be as specific as you can and then hold your intention in your mind until you see it. Keep your eyes open, you've likely already seen it, but we're rarely present enough in the moment to really see what our eyes are looking at.
As a new mom, my eyes are not only always on Hudson, but my thoughts are as well. It's sometimes hard to even know what it is that I want anymore, much less to ask for it. I often get wrapped up in Hudson's world and my new life of being a mom that I forget what I, Michelle Mitchell, wants or enjoys outside of being a mom. My swim lessons are Monday through Friday this week and it's really the first time I've done something completely for myself in nine months. It feels great to be checking back in to my needs and wants for a change.
It's far too easy to get fully wrapped up into my baby's world, which is why I have to pencil in time to ask myself what brings me joy and then set my intentions accordingly. Just as I've said in prior blogs, I know that I am a much better mommy when I do things for myself and enjoy life as an adult! Hudson completely approves of mommy taking care of herself so that she can show up more fully when she spends time with him.

Q: How to read the if statement inside a double for loop I'm having a problem with my code.These are just example of my program. I have a for loop inside a for loop and a if statement. My goal is that i want to print the output below
The dogs that i like are
bulldogs
poodle
beagle
pug

The dogs that i don't like are
boxer
rottweiler
bullterrier
sheltie

I tried this code but it seems like there's something wrong.
sample = [['The dogs that i like are'], ["The dogs that i don't like are"]]
sample_2 = ['bulldogs', 'poodle', 'beagle','pug', 'boxer', 'rottweiler','bullterrier','sheltie']

i = 'pug'

for s in sample:
    print (sample)
    for s2 in sample_2:
        print (sample_2)
        if sample_2 == i:
            print ("\n");

A: Assuming that you've had the walk away from the computer
Approach:
1: Make 2 lists, one with the names of all the dogs that you like and the other with the ones you dont.
2: Iterate over the lists to print their names.
liked_dogs = ['bulldogs', 'poodle', 'beagle', 'pug']
not_liked_dogs = ['boxer', 'rottweiler', 'bullterrier', 'sheltie']

print("The dogs that I like are")
for dog in liked_dogs:
    print(dog)

print("\n")
print("The dogs that I don't like are")
for dog in not_liked_dogs:
    print(dog)

OUTPUT:
The dogs that I like are
bulldogs
poodle

Fresh Tomato Day – April 6, 2023
Fresh Tomato Day is celebrated on April 6, as a day to appreciate the beauty of fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes are plants that are grown in temperate and tropical regions of the world and are a significant source of umami flavor. They are typically consumed raw or cooked. It is common to find that numerous varieties of the tomato plant are widely grown in temperate climates across the world, with purpose-built greenhouses aiding the production of tomatoes throughout all the seasons of the year. Tomato plants typically grow between three and 10 feet in height, with vines and a weak sprawling stem.
History of Fresh Tomato Day
The tomato is said to have descended or evolved from the "Solanum pimpinellifolium," which is also known as the currant tomato or wild tomato, native to western South America. These wild tomatoes were smaller than the tomatoes we have in today's times and they were usually about the size of peas. The domestication, so to speak, of tomatoes, traces back to the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican peoples, who used the fruit fresh and employed its use for cooking. Tomatoes came into Europe through the Spanish, and they became a very regular feature of Spanish food. In other European countries such as France, Italy, and others to the North of Europe, the tomato was initially grown as an ornamental plant, like flowers.
The tomato was met with skepticism as a type of food based on the fact that it was thought to be nightshade by botanists. This skepticism and suspicion were compounded by the acidity of the tomato juice. The tomato was even nicknamed the "poison apple," because it was believed that it caused aristocrats to get sick and die after eating them. The possible reason for these reactions was that wealthy Europeans of that time, used pewter plates, which were rich in lead, and because tomatoes are so high in acidity, the fruit would leach lead from the plate upon coming in contact with it, eventually leading to led poisoning and eventually death.
Limited knowledge made it impossible for anyone at the time to connect the dots between plate and poison at the time and so the easier alternative was to blame the tomato. The leaves of the tomato and its immature fruit contain tomatin, which could be toxic in large amounts. However, the ripe tomato fruit does not contain tomatin.

Pac-12 Networks budget: Revenue drops, school…
Pac-12 Networks: Budget projections show decline in revenue, flat year-over-year payouts to the schools
The budget illuminates the networks' long-shrouded finance
PUBLISHED: April 23, 2019 at 12:31 pm | UPDATED: April 24, 2019 at 4:28 am
Pac-12 Networks president Mark Shuken recently told the SportsBusiness Journal that the primary objective of the networks is to "amplify student athletes and their experiences," not necessary to serve as a revenue-generating machine.
Those priorities seem to mesh with the fiscal reality: While broadcasting 850 live events this year, the conference's wholly-owned media company got smaller.
Internal budget projections for the Pac-12 Networks obtained by the Hotline (below) show a six percent ($8.1 million) year-over-year decline in total revenue, a 22 percent drop in net advertising revenue and a 30 percent plunge in digital revenue. Net affiliate revenue, the largest bucket, by far, was expected to drop by five percent.
The declines were caused by the termination of the carriage agreement with U-verse.
Perhaps most significantly, the Pac-12 Networks aren't expected to increase the amount they distribute to the campuses: The $33.475 million projected for the schools in the current fiscal year — split 12 ways, that's $2.8 million per campus — was the same amount pegged for FY18.
All in all, the networks were budgeted to generate $127.4 million in revenue against $92.5 million in total operating expenses in FY19.
"It's in line with expectations, but given its current structure, it has to figure out a way to cut costs," said one of three media industry experts asked by the Hotline to analyze the budget.
As a matter of policy, the conference doesn't comment on financial matters.
The budget was provided to the schools last year — for that reason, the figures should be considered approximations — and it includes budgeted figures for FY18 and FY19, plus a forecast/update for FY18 that shows the impact on revenue of the loss of U-verse.
It also provides an unprecedented look at the financial underpinnings of the seven-year-old media company, whose revenues and expenses have been closely guarded by the conference.
Since the networks were launched in 2012, the only official figure made available to the public has been the total income provided on the Schedule R portion of the Pac-12's annual tax filings.
Line-item revenues and expenses have never been revealed.
"They basically wrote the business down by $8 million," an industry analyst said.
The projected year-over-year flatline in distributions to the campuses indicates the Pac-12 Networks have yet to reach the lowest end of the original revenue projections.
Prior to launch, commissioner Larry Scott, who serves as executive chairman of the Pac-12's media company — his compensation is based on those dual roles — provided the schools with three ranges for annual payments (as previously reported by the Hotline):
High end: $7 million-to-$10 million per school per year
Middle range: $5 million-to-$7 million per school per year
Low end: $3 million-to-$5 million per school per year.
Based on information previously collected by the Hotline from campus sources and the FY18/FY19 data in the budget projections, the approximate annual payments to the campuses are as follows:
2013: None
2014: $862,000 per school
2015: $1,677,500 per school
Seven-year total (per school): $12,695,686
Average per year (per school): $1,813,669
(Note: On the budget below, the pool of money marked for distribution is listed as 'net surplus,' which is then divided by 12 to determine the school split.)
Those annual payouts, it should be noted, are effectively gross amounts.
To create the football and men's basketball inventory for the Pac-12 Networks, the schools had to repurchase their local TV rights from multimedia partners like Learfield and IMG.
Over a four-year period, for example, UCLA had $5.6 million withheld from a larger sponsorship deal with IMG in order to compensate IMG for the loss of its TV rights. Back that figure out of the total amount sent to UCLA over seven years, and the Bruins have received an average of $1.01 million per year in net revenue from the networks.
"Given current distribution challenges," an analyst said, referring to the networks' limited reach, "meaningful cost reduction is the only way to increase payouts to the universities."
The overall financial projections for 2019 show a company impacted by the loss of distribution on U-verse — a byproduct of the Pac-12 and AT&T ending their partnership after five years.
(Alden Budill, head of distribution for the Pac-12 Networks, told the Hotline in November that the company had anticipated the loss of carriage on U-verse "and we have planned accordingly." That planning was evident in the forecast/update for FY18.)
Fueled by the U-verse issue, Pac-12 Networks total revenue was expected to drop from initial projections of $135.5 million for the 2018 fiscal year to $127.4 million in fiscal 2019, a decline of 5.9 percent.
The networks generated just $13.6 million in net advertising revenue, which is approximately 10 percent of total revenue.
Total operating expenses were reduced accordingly, from $101.3 million to $92.5 million, based on major cuts to marketing, technical and production/programming.
"Credit the leadership for managing the blow,'' an analyst said. "They survived it, but the business is behind."
(Shuken, Budill and Executive VP/Content Larry Meyers have all joined the networks in the past two-and-a-half years.)
The budget leaves a series of questions, including:
***** Total operating expenses were slashed by $8.8 million year-over-year, but compensation was reduced by less than $500,000.
In fact, the amount budgeted for compensation in FY19 ($25.7 million) increased from the amount forecast for FY18 ($23.5 million).
What was the reasoning behind the forecast-to-budget increase and the limited year-over-year cuts in that expense bucket?
"The number of people that fall under that is what determines if ($25.7 million) makes sense or not," a source said.
***** The budget shows $98.8 million in net affiliate revenue.
What is the 'net' component? Are the networks paying a fee to collect affiliate revenue?
***** What is 'other' revenue, which grew by $1.1 million year-over-year?

Of the five revenue buckets, 'other' was the only one to show year-over-year growth. Although a small percentage of overall revenue, it more than doubled.
***** How is sponsorship revenue ($11.4 million) allocated?
And would any portion of that be coming into the conference regardless of the existence of the networks?
***** What accounts for the $11.5 million in G&A expenses (general and administrative)?
Typically, that category includes rent, travel and salaries — the cost of doing business.
However, the budget includes $25.7 million in compensation as a separate line item.
"That (G&A) is a big number if it doesn't include any compensation,'' an analyst said.
***** Finally: What's the plan to grow the business through 2024, when the Pac-12's current media right deal expires?

Q: How to set marginLeft and marginRight in react-native app which is responsive for all devices I need to set marginRight and left for UI layout button. If I set the MarginLeft and right it is not responsive for all devices. I need to set dynamic for all devices in a single styling.
Kindly clarify how to write css for ios and android devices which is responsive for all devices

A: Create a file called config.js and add the below code.
import { Dimensions } from 'react-native';
const config = {
    deviceWidth: Dimensions.get('window').width,
    deviceHeight: Dimensions.get('window').height
}

export default config

Then import this .js file to the file where you are going to styling.
import config from './config'
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    container: {,
       paddingLeft: config.deviceWidth * 0.1,
       width : config.deviceWidth * 0.8
    }
});

This will align your label according to your device width. So this will responsive to every device.
Like this you can use paddingRight: config.deviceWidth * 0.2 to align from right.
By changing the value of x (deviceWidth * x) you can set margin as you want.
