Same here got the mystery box edition put in my codes, and it has let me play classified and even gave me shadow man in black out but it shortly went away.
This is ridiculous. I am livid. Never spending money on activision ever again. This issue is nothing new. It happened on bo3 as well and has to bite the bullet and spend another $40 to get the season pass for my son who has a sub account under mine. Activision needs to fix this issue now.
People are missing shadow man and cod points.
I don't have my blackout characters despite buying the digital deluxe edition also I have the classified zombies map but it only works in solo mode please fix or else.
My friend and I are having a similar issue. My deluxe edition SP works then for no reason I get kicked or game crashes and SP does same as reported here by others. I delete the SP and redownload which works for awhile but then again, back to not recognizing my pass yet telling me in store I own it.
A bit ridiculous tbh, I hope they get this fixed very soon.
I have the same exact problem still, I didn't even get the day of the dead skin. My game is glitched so I can't even see any outfits for the characters and on top of that in the microsoft store it still says that I have it downloaded. If anyone finds a way to fix it tell us please.
Same for me . Bought the Mustery Box edition. Super pissed.


Google has taken the wraps off the next version of its Android operating system, known as Jelly Bean, which adds improvements to search, voice typing and notifications.
Jelly Bean, also known as Android 4.1, will be the successor to the current Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, and will start to be pushed out to some Android phones next month, Google said at its I/O conference for developers Wednesday in San Francisco.
A significant new feature is Google Now, which uses a person's location, search history and calendar entries to offer more pertinent search results, Google said. Google Now appears to basically turn Android into a personal assistant for a user's life.
For example, Google Now learns roughly when a person commutes to work and what route they take. It will then check traffic reports each morning and recommend a faster route when there's one available.
Google didn't go into a lot of detail about how it works; presumably it uses information from existing online services such as restaurant reviews. Allowing Google Now to access a person's location, search and calendar entries is optional, Google executives stressed, but it's bound to make some users concerned about privacy.
Jelly Bean is Google's attempt to continue the momentum behind Android. The OS had been activated in 100 million devices at this time last year; now the figure is up to 400 million, Google said. A million new Android devices are activated each day, it said, or 12 per second.
Jelly Bean also improves the voice typing function in Android, which lets users type messages and perform searches by speaking into the phone. In Ice Cream Sandwich, voice typing works only when users are online, but for Jelly Bean, Google "shrank" the speech recognition software that runs on the servers in its data center, so that it will fit into the device itself. So users will be able to type using their voice when they're offline.
Offline voice typing will be available initially for U.S. English and will be offered in other languages "soon" according to Google.
Google has improved the Android Beam function in Ice Cream Sandwich. The existing version lets users share data such as contact information by knocking two phones together, assuming they have NFC (near-field communications) capability. In Jelly Bean, that's extended to let them exchange photos and videos, and users will also be able to connect their smartphone to an external device such as a speaker by tapping the phone against it.
Jelly Bean also has better notifications, so that users won't have to open separate applications to act on those notifications. If an email notification pops up, for instance, the user can view the email from within the notification instead of opening the Gmail app. They can also return calls from within a missed call notification.
Other improvements include increasing the display rate to 60 frames per second, so opening applications and refreshing the screen appear smoother. And the touch interface has been made faster and more responsive, according to Google.
The new OS also adds new input languages -- Urdu, Hindi and Thai. And it can connect to external braille devices via Bluetooth.
To help developers improve application performance, Google created a new "systrace" tool that collects performance data from within the the Linux kernel. It will help developers iron out glitches in their apps, by allowing them to correlate dropped frames with a database interruption, for instance.
Jelly Bean will be pushed out to the Motorola Xoom and other devices starting in July, Google said. It's also making a software developer kit available now to developers, from developer.android.com, and it created a new Platform Developer Kit for hardware makers who implement the OS.


You spend at least 40 hours per week working "in" your business. And hopefully, you spend at least 90 minutes each week with your Leadership Team working "on" your business.
Have you ever thought about where you do that work, what type of environment you create for your work? Let's think about that today.
Some number of years ago I read a blog that recommended referring to your workplace as a studio. The author made the case that "studio" replaces the drudgery we often associate with the word "work" and captures the creativity that occurs in our businesses.
Every business creates something — a product, a service, actual artwork, design work, customer engagement — you get the picture.
So we started referring to our company as a studio, as in, "I'll be back at the studio about 2:00 p.m." or "Our new customer will tour our studio on Thursday at 10:00 a.m." That word completely changed how we viewed our company, our workplace, and our colleagues. A simple change with significant impact.
If EOS®is your company's management system, where do you have your Level-10 Meetings™?
Are you meeting in a closed office or conference room? Does staff know those 90 minutes are sacred and, unless the office is struck by a lightning bolt, they are not to interrupt you? Does everyone on the Leadership Team disconnect from all technology for the 90 minutes?
Yes? Great! This is important because those 90 minutes every week are your Leadership Team's opportunity to work "on" the business. Protect that time by sequestering yourselves and staying focused on your business. Doing so will make for a better week.
How about your Quarterly Pulsing™ and 2-day Annual Planning sessions each year?
Not only are you well served by disconnecting from technology; you are also well served by meeting off-site. Yes, get out of the office! Scheduling these sessions out of the office changes how you behave, how you act, how you think.
These are five critical days for your company each year. You are evaluating the previous quarter and year, reflecting on what you did well, what you could have done better, and what you learned. And you are prioritizing for the next quarter or planning your next year; you are solving key issues; and you are working to strengthen team health.
You need to show up ready to participate, because it is a privilege to be here. You cannot do that fully if you are in the conference room listening to the discussion going on in the hall.
I encourage you to try on referring to your workplace as a studio —humor me and see how it feels. Think about where you hold meetings. It is important to get your mind in the right place.
And please let me know if referring to your office as a studio changed your mindset about work. I'd also like to hear about your ideas for upcoming off-site meetings. Please reach out to me using the contact form below if you have any questions or would like to share your thoughts with me. The consult is free, with no obligation. I welcome the opportunity to talk about EOS®and how its systems and processes can get your mind in the right place.


SAN FRANCISCO, Ca., July 30, 2015 — Sojern, the world's leading performance marketing platform for travel brands, today released its Q2 Global Travel Insights Report based on the rigorous analysis of more than a billion traveler intent data points across the globe.
Compared with the previous two quarters, travelers across studied regions searched for destinations closer to home, eschewing long-haul trips in favor of domestic and regional trips. Globally, the most searched destinations during the second quarter of the year were: the United States, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Portugal, Turkey, Greece and Russia. The latter re-entered the list after a quarter's hiatus, replacing Thailand.
In Western Europe, Cuba pushed up 12 places to position 41, thanks to a lot of media attention and the detente with the US. Czech Republic, Iceland and Romania each moved seven places up in the ranking.
For travelers from Latin America, Aruba's appeal increased over last year, pushing it up 11 spots, followed, by Hungary, up 10 spots. The latter is one of the more affordable European destinations, as a non-Eurozone country.
Cuba continued its upward trajectory this past quarter, moving up another spot since Q1, to position 14 on the list of top 20 most popular Caribbean destinations for Americans. That is a five-place jump up from number 19 back in December 2014, which means that now Cuba ranks higher than Antigua and Barbuda, Curacao, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the British Virgin Islands. The Caribbean island state also moved up on West Europeans' radars, climbing 12 places since summer 2014.
Over the past two quarters, Greece remained in the top 10 most popular destinations globally, and in the top 10 most popular destinations for Europeans, although they dropped in the latter by four places to position eight in the last quarter. Following the announcement of the referendum, travel intent numbers to Greece had gone down by around 23 percent globally, but, as of July 8, Sojern was already seeing indications of a rebound in traveler interest.
Following the conclusion of Ramadan, the average regional week-on-week travel intent peaked at 180 percent in the Middle East. July 16 was the heaviest travel day, followed by a four-day period of consistently high travel volumes. Average trip durations also increased significantly: 63 percent of travelers from the region looked to travel for more than eight days and almost 45 percent for 12 days or more, at least partially reflecting the number of public holidays observed in the region.

City of Tulsa mulch site reopening after fire
KJRH
By: Emily Farris
TULSA, Okla. — Following last week's severe weather, the City of Tulsa's Streets and Stormwater Department, along with the Tulsa Area Emergency Management Agency (TAEMA), is assessing storm damage and opening a mulch site for people to drop off tree limbs.
The City of Tulsa Mulch Site at 2100 North 145th East Avenue opened for tree limb drop-off, but a fire in the mulch piles around 1 p.m. on Friday temporarily closed the facility as firefighters worked to put it out.
The site will reopen Wednesday, Nov. 17.
People need to bundle limbs and branches by tying them into bundles no more than 2-feet across and 4-feet long, weighing less than 40 lbs., and put them alongside their trash can on their regular trash day and crews will pick them up.
Mulch and firewood will need to wait until storm debris is taken care of.
Mulch Site hours are:
Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information on Mulch Site operations, visit the City of Tulsa's website.

Commentary on He Tirohanga Mokopuna 2021
Part 4: He Tirohanga Mokopuna 2021
Part 4: He Tirohanga Mokopuna 2021 Commentary on He Tirohanga Mokopuna 2021. https://oag.parliament.nz/2022/he-tirohanga-mokopuna/part4.htm https://oag.parliament.nz/@@site-logo/logo.png
Commentary on He Tirohanga Mokopuna 2021.
Comprehensive and realistic information about the future is fundamental to good financial management and decision-making.
The building blocks of the 2021 Statement are a step forward from previous statements. They could support more meaningful insights about the future and the Government's long-term financial position.
In particular, a new set of projections using the NCGM and integrating the long-term insights briefing into the long-term fiscal statement provide the potential for a more wide-ranging analysis and discussion of the long-term risks, opportunities, and policy options that matter to the well-being of New Zealanders.
However, we do not consider that the 2021 Statement achieves its potential as a key foundational resource that informs the Government, Parliament, and the public about the financial implications of future trends, risks, and challenges.
In this Part, we summarise how the Treasury's long-term fiscal statement has developed so far. We also consider what the Treasury may need to do to improve the ability of a combined long-term insights briefing and long-term fiscal statement to:
enhance the quality and depth of public information about the government's long-term opportunities, challenges and policy choices; and
support and inform the Government's strategic priorities and fiscal strategy.
The evolution of the long-term fiscal statement
Governments can create impact beyond their terms through, for example, the strategic and decision-making phases of the Budget process. However, to do so in an informed way, they need knowledge about past performance, current priorities and spending intentions, and future challenges and opportunities.
Since 2006, long-term fiscal statements have been the main way for governments to receive information about the financial implications of future challenges and opportunities. In our view, neither successive governments nor the public have given these statements enough attention.
The Treasury has tried different ideas to improve the long-term fiscal statement's value and impact, including an extensive public consultation process in 2013 and an increased focus on well-being in 2016.
The 2021 Statement introduces several different initiatives. These include integrating the processes and information needed for the Treasury's first long-term insights briefing and developing the NCGM to project the long-term financial position and consider other shocks and crises.
The messages about population ageing remain largely the same as in previous long-term fiscal statements. There are new insights about the long-term financial implications of the Government's response to Covid-19 and the scale of tax increases that might be needed to pay for the effects of population ageing and some other shocks and crises.
The changes made in developing the 2021 Statement are a step in the right direction. We support continued improvement in the financial projections and work to explore the links between the long-term insights briefing and the long-term fiscal statement.
These innovations should assist the Treasury, as the government's lead economic and financial advisor, to facilitate public discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing New Zealand and inform government decision-making.
The Treasury has also told us that it is looking to further develop its analytical programme before it prepares the next long-term fiscal statement. We support this initiative. In our view, the Treasury should consider how it can strengthen the process it uses to plan for and prepare these statements in a way that progressively improves the statement's value and impact over time.
In the next two sections, we consider how future statements and briefings could have better value and impact.
Improving the quality and depth of public information
Boston, Bagnall, and Barry observe that, for people of different cultures and generations, there are many reasons for thinking about, and planning for, the future.50 For governments and the public sector, involving the public in that thinking can also improve public trust and confidence.
By improving the quality and depth of public information and supporting people's understanding of the Government's long-term opportunities, challenges, and policy choices, the 2021 Statement can encourage people to think about the future.
Care is needed when integrating a long-term insights briefings with existing work
Overall, although the process for preparing a long-term insights briefing aligns well with the process for preparing a long-term fiscal statement, we consider that the Treasury needs to give more thought to achieving the aims of both processes.
In our view, the Treasury was not able to realise the full potential of integrating the 2021 Briefing into the 2021 Statement. One reason for this was that the short time frame limited the Treasury's ability to make the most of the process for preparing the long-term insights briefing.
The Treasury told us that, despite the relatively compressed time frame, it felt that it had struck the right balance between the need to communicate in a timely manner and the analysis that it wanted to do.
The Treasury also told us that the subject matter and discussion for the long-term insights briefing should complement and draw on existing work where relevant. We agree.
However, care is needed when combining the long-term insights briefing process with another existing process so that the opportunity to explore new or unconsidered issues is not lost or subsumed.
Better integrate the feedback from consultation
The issues that a department focuses time and energy on can be current and important to that department. However, preparing long-term insights briefings provides departments with an opportunity to explore what is important for the public and what may affect them in the future.
Although these documents should reflect the expertise and opinions of the department, consistent with the DPMC's guidance, this is also an opportunity to reflect the voices of those who have been engaged.
Good consultation takes time. We would like the Treasury to consider how it might better incorporate the views that it heard through feedback into future long-term fiscal statements and insights briefings.
Assisting governments in making financially responsible decisions
Governments regularly use information about the future to make financially responsible policy decisions. For Boston, Bagnall, and Barry, understanding long-term challenges and opportunities is fundamental to good governance and decision-making.
This involves:
looking forward to plan and shape the future;
designing and implementing coherent long-term policies;
identifying, minimising, and managing significant risks;
protecting critical resources and ecosystems for future generations; and
preparing for unexpected eventualities, including economic shocks.51
As part of the annual Budget process, the government decides which of its many competing strategic priorities and objectives are achievable with a finite set of resources. For example, one aim of the 2021 Wellbeing Budget is to:
…improve New Zealanders' living standards by tackling long-term challenges and ensuring what matters to New Zealanders drives Government decision-making.52
Combining the long-term insights briefing with the long-term fiscal statement and expanding the range of analytical tools could improve the government's understanding of what could be important to New Zealanders in the future and what this may mean for the government's financial sustainability and its well-being domains.
We set out some observations that may improve the ability of future statements to provide relevant information that informs the Budget process below.
More comprehensive analysis
The NCGM allows a more comprehensive analysis of what may happen in the future and the financial implications for the Government. This is the first time that the Treasury has used this type of model for long-term projections, and it is currently used in a limited way to project a narrow set of scenarios.
Preparing a set of scenarios that captures combinations of opportunities and challenges could generate important and useful insights about the future financial risks, capacity, and sustainability of the government.
These scenarios could take place in different time periods. For example, a 10-to-20-year horizon may be more appropriate to consider the financial and policy implications of opportunities and challenges that are more defined and likely to impact over the short to medium term (such as housing shortages or raising productivity). A 20- to 30-year horizon might be appropriate to consider the implications of more regular occurring natural disasters and economic crises.
The Treasury told us that widening the parameters for the range of topics could lead to departments duplicating material in their insights briefings and raises questions about resourcing and what is feasible in the available time frame. We agree that these are important considerations.
However, in our view, widening their parameters and providing more realistic and understandable scenarios are critical to the usefulness of these documents.
Think about the financial implications of, and on, other dimensions of well-being
As we have mentioned throughout this paper, understanding and thinking about long-term trends, risks, and opportunities is an important part of the policy decision-making and the annual Budget process.
Not all policy options need to be financially focused. For example, the 2016 long-term fiscal statement considered options such as better education and more social inclusion as possible policy choices.
In our view, policy options that are financially focused are also useful to consider in a wider well-being context. Some options could affect other well-being domains. For example, reducing superannuation or health spending to avoid increasing debt could affect New Zealand's social and human capitals. This in turn could affect long-term productivity and economic growth. Understanding these kinds of feedback effects is important to understanding long-term financial sustainability.
Take a broader approach to financial sustainability
The 2021 Statement defines financial sustainability broadly but measures it narrowly. By focusing on the government's net debt to GDP, the 2021 Statement's discussion about financial sustainability misses the full extent of other projected changes and policy options that could influence the government's financial sustainability over time.
Taking a broader approach to financial sustainability may mean focusing less on the negative factors (such as rapidly increasing debt) and more on positive opportunities (such as becoming more productive and growing GDP).
It could also lead to a wider discussion about what combinations of net debt and tax rates become unsustainable and what is prudent today. It could also mean considering a wider range of options to manage shocks and crises in the future – for example, building up financial resources, insurance, and/or automatic tax adjustments.
Test and challenge the reasonableness of underlying assumptions
In our commentary on the 2016 long-term fiscal statement, we looked at the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying the LTFM projections. We suggested that the Treasury needed to do more work to improve the consistency and realism of some assumptions.
Although the NCGM is helpful, there is still more work to do. When looking 40 years ahead, financial projections can be sensitive to these assumptions and, if not well tested, can raise questions about the reliability of the resulting policy advice.
Some examples of important assumptions include:
the use of New Zealand's slower average productivity growth in the 10 years since the global financial crisis over the entire projection period; and
assuming the long-run growth rate of the economy is expected to almost always be below the real interest rate on borrowing.
The Treasury emphasised to us that a balance needs to be struck between illustrating the sensitivity of projection assumptions and complicating key messages. We agree that quantifying the implications of the projections in a simple way is desirable, but we consider that readers still need to be convinced about the robustness and reliability of those simple messages.

If you ever needed proof of a higher power, take the fact that "Grilled Cheesus" more or less works.
While problematic in a number of areas, there is an emotional core to this spirituality-themed episode which manages to ground what seems like a really terrible idea in theory. While the show has handled some bigger issues quite effectively, like Kurt's sexuality, it has also botched numerous issues, like (at times) Kurt's sexuality. For every moment of emotional honesty, there are situations (like Burt's big speech admonishing Finn) which seem to undermine those moments; while inconsistency is problematic in almost any series, here those inconsistencies often write over previous developments of character, theme, and universe.
"Grilled Cheesus" does nothing to solve the series' problems of consistency as a whole, wildly different from everything else this season, but by grounding a difficult subject with the series' most proven recurring storyline Brad Falchuk has created a stand-alone take on religion that only rarely offends my sensibilities.
And that, my friends, is some sort of miracle.

Q: ASPXGridView cascading input controls on edit mode My ASPxGridView is used for data entry of phone numbers. I have a ComboBox used to get the "type" of the number (phone, cell phone, fax, etc.).
I also have a TextBox to get the actual number. I need to set the NullText of the TextBox to either a sample phone or cell number, depending on the selected value of ComboBox.

A: Using the suggestion here I was able to set the NullText in client side as below:
Adding a client side event in PropertiesTextEdit of my PhoneType ComboBox:
<ClientSideEvents SelectedIndexChanged="function(s, e) { OnPhoneTypeChanged(s); }" />

And adding the Javascript below:
function OnPhoneTypeChanged(cbPhoneType) {
    if (cbPhoneType.GetValue().toString() == '2') {
        txtPhone.nullText = "09121111111";
        if (txtPhone.GetValue() == null)
            txtPhone.SetValue(null);
    }
    else {
        txtPhone.nullText = "81022000";
        if(txtPhone.GetValue() == null)
            txtPhone.SetValue(null);
    }
}


Public charter schools have avoided the worst effects of California's budget crisis, which has forced traditional public schools to shorten the school year, increase class sizes and lay off staff.
The number of charter schools could grow by 11% this fall -- a trend fueled in many cases by an infusion of federal government and philanthropic support. Many are also able to reduce costs by hiring less experienced teachers who earn lower salaries than veteran teachers at unionized schools, in addition to being able to bypass many state and local regulations.
The expansion of charter schools is a central element in the education agenda of the Obama administration, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has enthusiastically backed the movement. The original goal of charter schools was to develop new education models that regular public schools could emulate. They may now also be generating new strategies for survival through tough economic times.
Charter schools have not entirely escaped California's budget crunch. Many are making adjustments to their programs, including reducing the number of teachers, coping with late payments from the state, relying on digital textbooks and asking parents to help out even more than they have in the past.
