With the abundance of the technology in this day and age, it was only a matter of time until cars became part of the digital era. Although, it is already widely used in obscured operations within cars, the Linux operating system has had a radical upgrade, which is likely to impact the car manufacturing industry.
Linux will ease the gap between car manufacturers that have invested in infotainment to a great extent over the years and those that have not. This updated operating system will make it easier for manufacturers to incorporate cutting-edge technology into their vehicles.
As a piece of open-source software, Linux allows manufacturers to modify its appearance to suit their individual brand. Taking into account the overall driving experience, Linux has included hands-on functionality, such as media music player, smart device integrations and a newsreader, to name a few.

When we meet at her Rotterdam studio, Sabine Marcelis is just back from Design Miami. She's under the weather, but it's nothing a festive palm tree decorated by her team can't fix: the Dutch designer's candy-coloured resin objects hang playfully from the makeshift Christmas tree.
Marcelis gravitates towards coloured artificial materials such as neon lights and resin made of polyester, but glass and marble also have a place in her work. 'I like that there's no way to control [every aspect of] it. You get what you get,' she says.
The founder of Salle Privée, Patrick Munster, 'really understands what I am doing, how I love to experiment, and has given me free rein', she says. After completing elements of the brand's flagship store in Amsterdam in autumn 2016, Marcelis worked on its A/W17 Paris Fashion Week presentation, and art-directed its first perfume campaign. And her laminated glass, mirror and aluminium panels were used on the three-level interior of the Repossi flagship store on Place Vendôme, creating 'diverse degrees of reflections and colour refractions'.
The 'Dawn' series is inspired by a time in the day where the sun, clouds and sky join to create a momentary riot of hues.

I curve myself in respect for this masterpiece. I will clap my hands till the end of my days Shelley. You brought tears to my eyes in the presence of such beauty!!!!!!!


Some of you might remember the Hamer & Clay ornaments I bought as Christmas presents last year. Beka got one as part of her blogger Secret Santa, which pretty much sealed the deal on her being my internet wife.
They were a HUGE hit, really cute, and super affordable. They are my new go-to favorite present for barn friends (so um… all my barn friends… forget what you just read and act surprised when you get an ornament) and my friends with dogs. Because who doesn't love having their favorite furry friend turned into an awesome keepsake? This year I'm buying one for myself too, because somehow last year in my ornament frenzy I forgot to do that.
Kelsey, the owner of Hamer & Clay, can do just about anything you can dream up. Any colors, any kind of special features, markings, tack, glitter, rhinestones, horses, dogs, even fish… you name it, she can do it. And they're all STUNNING. All I did was send her photos, specify details, colors, etc, and she absolutely nailed every single one.
any pose, any style of wreath, or stall door.
Equines with bows: $20.00 ea.
one horse, one bow, or simple adornment.
Cattle, swine, deer, moose etc.
you don't see listed above.
All orders placed and paid for before December 10, 2015 are guaranteed to arrive before Christmas.
Orders are a first come first serve basis. New orders may be waitlisted depending on order volume.
All orders can be monitored via a link provided with your invoice number.
-All ornaments are shipped via Canada Post/USPS unless otherwise specified. Ornaments are wrapped in tissue, gift boxes and bubble wrap, they are packed securely and carefully.
-Ornaments can be shipped as gifts directly to their intended recipients, wrapped free of charge. Discounts will still apply.
USA Customers: $13.50 ground (4-10 days) with tracking. PM for express rates.
So go forth, readers, support a great small business, and buy all the ornaments! Don't forget to follow Hamer & Clay on facebook to see all of her ornaments and get business updates.
Well, I'm convinced. I need one!!
Everyone needs one. For as cute as they are online they're even better in real life.
I have always meant to order from her, I love her work!
I ordered two ornaments yesterday. Looks like I should have waited a day. Oh well. Maybe someday I'll order one for myself.
These are incredible. Christmas shopping, done!
Oooh, a local company for me! Everyone's getting one this year.
I've been stalking her etsy ever since I saw it on your blog last year. Cannot wait to order some!
Possibly I want one of every horse I've ever had….
I can't even believe the prices, phenomenal!
Ooopf! Could have used that coupon code yesterday when I ordered 4, haha.
Oh yay! Christmas wishes fulfilled!
Is all I have to say about that.
And then I spent $100 on gift ornaments… I want one of Annie but couldn't justify it right now. Maybe sometime!
And thanks to this little post, my friends now know what one of their xmas presents is. Damn you. (They read it, got excited about ordering them, and I had to shut them down before they did so).
I love ruining things. I'm a great ruiner.
Great idea; we had to put down my mother's horse of 32 years this past year: I love the stall door ornament for that purpose.
I have never seen such personalized ornaments like that before! So cool! Thanks!
I'm getting cat ones for my Mom! And ones for me to of course.
She is fabulous! I ordered about a dozen last year!

Hierarchical model–view–controller (HMVC) is a software architectural pattern, a variation of model–view–controller (MVC) similar to presentation–abstraction–control (PAC), that was published in 2000 in an article in JavaWorld Magazine, the authors apparently unaware of PAC, which was published 13 years earlier.

The controller has some oversight in that it selects first the model and then the view, realizing an approval mechanism by the controller. The model prevents the view from accessing the data source directly.

Example
The largest practical benefit of using an HMVC architecture is the "widgetization" of content structures. An example might be comments, ratings, Twitter or blog RSS feed displays, or the display of shopping cart contents for an e-commerce website. It is essentially a piece of content that needs to be displayed across multiple pages, and possibly even in different places, depending on the context of the main HTTP request.

Traditional MVC frameworks generally do not provide a direct answer for these types of content structures, so programmers often end up duplicating and switching layouts, using custom helpers, creating their own widget structures or library files, or pulling in unrelated data from the main requested Controller to push through to the View and render in a partial. The downside is that the responsibility of rendering a particular piece of content or loading required data leaks into multiple areas and gets duplicated in the respective places.

HMVC, or specifically the ability to dispatch sub-requests to a Controller to handle these responsibilities aims to solve this problem. The structure mimics that of traditional MVC. For example, if one needs to load some data about comments, and display them in HTML format, one would send a request to the comments Controller with some parameters. The request then interacts with the Model, picks a View, which displays the content. The difference from a traditional MVC is that instead of displaying the comments in a fully separate page, they are displayed inline below the article the user is viewing. In this regard, HMVC strives to increase code modularity, aid reusability, and maintain a better separation of concerns.

Q: Is there a hotkey or shortcut to upgrade all units? At certain points in the game, a variety of upgrades become available to your existing units.  Unfortunately this produces a really tedious management issue, where the user has to select each individual unit and click on each type of upgrade.  Some people mentioned that you can upgrade multiple units at a time, but either it doesn't work or they have to be the same unit.
Is there a hotkey or shortcut for quickly applying upgrades to units?

A: You can upgrade them all by clicking on your army, of course, and then select all units with ctrl + A and after that hover over any unit, the upgrade or disband tooltip will appear, and select upgrade, like you were doing when upgrading a unit. It will even show the total amount for upgrading all units.

Similar to Brazil, their law comprises of complexities in the law system. The Brazilian Constitution is known as the Federal Constitution that came into force on October 5th, 1988 and is the supreme law of the country featuring a rigid written form. The Constitution organizes the country into the Federal Republic of 26 indissoluble unions of federal states. These federal states have the power to implement their own laws and Constitutions, but their autonomy is however controlled by the standards created by the Federal Constitution. As of today, only the Supreme Court has the authority to create binding rules and the public administration, and inferior courts and judges are obliged to observe them.
The Brazilian legal system is derived from Civil Law tradition that comprise of French, Portuguese, German and Italian civil law. It is based on statutes as well as the súmula vinculante (stare decisis) that was implemented recently. Since Brazil was a Portugal colony, they utilized the Law of Portugal as the Law in Brazil. Brazil's independence and the rise of the Empire called for the establishment of a sovereign judiciary and educating its staff on legal education.

Brazil is famously known as the land of many lawyers since it has a law school in every state, around 1,240 compared to the entire world combined. The lawyers total up to 800,000 proving that there are more lawyers per capita as compared to the United States. The state with the highest number of lawyers was the State of São Paulo with 222,807 lawyers making it a third of the country's total lawyers.
The country has 16,000 judges, and the Brazilian judicial system is keeping pace with all the lawyering. The lawyers are expected to observe the set of disciplinary and ethical rules imposed by the OAB (Order of Attorneys of Brazil) Ethics and Discipline. There are many professional lawyers that undertake their duties to act independently and honestly and are competitive in helping clients with legal matters. Among the lawyers who have been successful in litigation matters is Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho, a Brazilian-based corporate litigation lawyer. Mr. Tosto has over 22 years of experience in legal matters within and outside the court room. He is a strategist and a renowned leader in the Brazilian legal system whose experience includes but not limited to Banking Contracts, Business Restructuring, Acquisition Review, Power Concessions, Reorganization, Civil, and Commercial.

Originally posted on The Telegraph, the young four year company FreedomPop expands it's revolutionary mobile services to the UK. Utilizing a venture capital, FreedomPop has begun it's first phase of international expansion.
FreedomPop's service has been making waves in the telecom business. Using completely unconventional methods their service is quickly catching popularity. After a one-time £7 setup fee, you have 200 minutes of call time, 200 text, and 200MB of data. There are several ways for subscribers to add more to their plan. The conventional way is to add an allowance by subscribing to a plan for about £4.99 and £16.99 a month. The unconventional way is allowing subscribers to complete third-party marketing surveys to add to their plan. The basic business model concept is to get subscribers in for free and allow them to obtain more call, text, and data through as many easy convenient ways.
FreedomPop's UK headquarters will be located in London. The company has been rapidly expanding as of the past year. Recently they have added 600,000 people in the United States and expect to reach 1 million by the end of the year. The company is very confident that they will be able to achieve the same numbers in the UK within the next 12 to 18 months.
After their UK expansion, FreedomPop plans on taking on 5 more countries within the next 2 weeks.
Because of how fast this mobile operator is growing, many companies are starting to take notice. The Europe expansion was delayed at one point when Sprint was in talks with the company to buy them for about $450 million.
Anyone having a tough time connecting or succeeding on the dating scene has to make some changes. Making the same mistakes on the dating scene is not exactly going to improve the chances of meeting the perfect person. Well, meeting someone might not be tough. Impressing the person and then getting a second date is where so many run into problems. Online dating sites do provide an excellent means for meeting someone new. However, those who are a bit awkward when it comes to dating success do need to become proactive and seek the help of others in order to improve results.
One way to increase the chances of dating success is to keep a log of all interactions with others on the site. To some, this step might seem like a wee bit too much. Who would be interested in keeping a journal of dating success or foibles? There is a simple answer to such a question. A person who wants to improve social and dating skills to the point bad dates and doomed relationships become ghosts of the past.
Keeping an updated journal is not all that difficult. All that needs to be done is type down the basics of what occurred on the site (or on a date) on Notepad or Word. Save the document. Review the notes and log pertinent questions about steps necessary for improvement. Write down any questions that might come to mind as well. All of these steps aid in performing reliable reflections over what has occurred. From this, better steps towards making improvements becomes possible.
Figuring out how to make all the improvements does not even have to be something done by one's lonesome. The internet is home to tons of discussion boards and social media sites. Simply asking others for help could lead to really positive results. In order to acquire sought-after advice, it is critically important to ask the right questions. The only way this is possible is through carefully reviewing what went right and what went wrong on previous days.
Having access to a great social network and dating community definitely makes this possible. Skout has emerged as a really popular name in the land of online dating. The Skout app can be downloaded onto a mobile device and, once it is in place, logging onto the dating community is pretty easy. Connecting with possible partners is not the only thing a member can do on the site. Asking advice of others is an option as well. Exploring this options is definitely recommended. Skout's easy to use platform certainly makes interacting with all members fairly straight-forward and even enjoyable.
The dating game has changed in some ways thanks to the arrival of new forms of technology and communications. Online dating is one of the cooler and fun results of these new technological and software developments. Members of online dating communities must still do their part and approach others the right way. Improving from day-to-day helps with this cause.

Miss Park is a member of the media at the Freedom Factory Co. Ltd and a co-host of the English podcast Casey Latrigue and Yeonmi Park Show. She has also volunteered with NAUH (Now Action, Unity and Human Rights) and a volunteered ambassador of Teach North Korean Refugees Program.
She grew up in the most brutal and oppressive parts of the North Korea as a child of privilege not until his father was arrested for exporting metals to China and then thrown into a Labor Camp. This spun Park and her mother onto a journey of looking for freedom and an oppression-free regime. This engraved very bad image of North Korea for a child's living.

Hannah Song in the Women in World Summit that Yeonmi is one of the agents of change, and has remarked her courage to speak out despite of a traditional cult of personality that repressed a group of citizens within North Korea and rendered some victims in their own country.
The online encyclopedia history is believed to have started in 1993. It has grown over the years. Currently, Wikipedia boast for having over 26 million articles which are absolutely free, written in 285 different languages. These articles have been written by over 39 million members, as well as anonymous writers. If you are determined to create your own page on Wikipedia, there are several steps that you have to take. Here are some of the most important.
Before anything you actually have to decide which topic you are interested in writing to create a Wikipedia page on Get Your Wiki. It is important to give references and even citations, so that your article is accepted easily. The main point here is, selecting your preferred topic carefully, and then looking for references.
Most articles are rejected because Wikipedia already has published familiar article from another writer. This is why it is very crucial to research the topic you are writing and select a good topic. If you choose a good topic, you will save yourself the frustration that comes with a rejected article.
When you have done your research properly and chosen a topic of your choice, you are then supposed to open an account with Wikipedia. However, this registration is not mandatory. When you decide to open one, you will enjoy several benefits as a writer.
Wikipedia has made things easy for its writes. They are now proving Sandbox, an editor that is found on the website. The program is in the website, so writers do not require downloading it. When a writer is done writing, they only copy the content in the program.
After creating a good article, you have to review it. Check carefully to ensure that it doesn't have any grammatical mistakes and that it has the right referees and citations. After you are though, then you can send it to Wikipedia. If their team finds that the article meets its standards, then the article will be published. Sometimes, you might be asked to add some few items on your content, and when you follow their guidelines, your article will be published.
However, if you want article to be written for you, then you can contact Get Your Wiki, a Wikipedia writing company. The company has a tea m of experienced editors who will get your work approved in a very short time. However, if this does not happen, the company refunds your money.
Humans are born with the right to choose. But that right has been taken away from them by governments since the beginning of recorded time. Slaves still do the wishes of others in certain parts of the world, and the rest of world keeps their heads turned the other way. Human trafficking is still prominent in different areas of the world, and the rest of the world closes their eyes. People live under the rule of a tyrant, and the rest of the world calls it a way of life because the world would rather talk about it than stop it.
The history of human rights is actually as old as the human race, but the modern definition of human rights began in 539 B.C. when King Cyrus the Great freed the slaves of Babylon. King Cyrus said all people have the right to choose their religion and live with the notion that all races are equal. Once the word spread that slaves were free in Persia, Rome Greece and India did the same thing, but as we know now Cyrus's edict was not followed by the rest of the world. In fact, human rights violations have increased thanks to countries like North Korea, Afghanistan, parts of Africa and in other countries. One only has to listen to the story of Yeonmi Park to understand how backward some of these countries are when it comes to human rights.
Ms. Yeonmi Park on yeonmi.net is one of the fortunate ones. She escaped from a country where no one is free. No one has rights of any kind. Life is spent working for the state and worshipping the leader. Yeonmi believed what she was taught as a child. She believed the rest of the world was just like North Korea until she saw a black market copy of the movie Titanic. Park realized that her life was not a life. She was a prisoner, and she had to escape. With help from her mother and sister Yeonmi did escape, but she and her mother were brutalized by the traffickers that took them through the Gobi Desert. Yeonmi and her mother crawled across the desert to escape the traffickers, and they finally made it to Mongolia. That's where they sought asylum at the South Korean embassy.
Yeonmi is now 21 years old but has lived many more years than that. She is dedicated to the human rights cause. She wants the world to give everyone their freedom to choose. She is currently writing a book about her life and how it has changed.
Yeonmi story is just one story of human rights abuses. There are tens of thousands more. Those stories are still be written through the anguish those people suffer every day. It's time the rest of the world opens their eyes and acts rather than accept the torture that fellow human beings are experiencing. Maybe Park's story will strike the match that burns down the walls of slavery and abuse. Maybe the world will realize that the lives of millions of people living under different forms of slavery matter.


Join Master Teacher Bill Counter for an exploration of Ashtanga Yoga's Second Series, also known as the Intermediate Series. Don't be fearful -- it's not necessarily harder than a First Series class, just different. Some of the vinyasas are easier, and it's a terrifically interesting set of poses -- you'll have a great time even if you decide to skip a few things. The class starts just like a First Series session with the salutations and standing pose sequence and ends with the traditional finishing poses. Just different adventures in the middle -- including lively backbend and inversion sequences.
All levels are welcome. Some previous Vinyasa style practice is helpful but nor a prerequisite. If you've done a bit of Ashtanga but only Primary Series, it's time to take your practice to the next level. It's a friendly class and a practice that is accessible to newcomers who can approach it gently by working with modifications and preparatory versions of the more challenging poses. Come along for the exploration.

Tanzania, Zambia plan $1.5 billion oil products pipeline: Tanzania minister
Tuesday May 28 2019
Tanzania's Energy minister Dr Merdad Kalemani. He has said that Tanzania and Zambia plan $1.5 billion oil products pipeline. PHOTO | MWANANCHI
Zambia imports most of its petroleum requirements through the port of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania.
The pipeline would run from Dar es Salaam to Zambia's mining city of Ndola.
Tanzania and Zambia already have a crude oil pipeline between them transporting oil to Zambia, where it is refined in Ndola for local use.
Tanzania and Zambia plan to build a refined products pipeline to transport petroleum between the two countries at a cost of $1.5 billion, Tanzania's Energy minister said on Tuesday.
Zambia, Africa's top copper producer, imports most of its petroleum requirements, mainly from the Middle East, through the port of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania.
Medard Kalemani said in a presentation of his ministry's 2019/20 (July-June) budget that the pipeline would run from the commercial capital Dar es Salaam to Zambia's mining city of Ndola, some 1,349 km away.
Kalemani, speaking in Tanzania's administrative capital Dodoma, did not give a time frame for when the project would kick off, but said that in the coming fiscal year, they planned to complete a feasibility study. He also gave no details on how it would be financed.
"The project will reduce challenges in transporting petroleum products in the countries that use our ports to import fuel and open up business opportunities ..." he said.
"The project will be implemented jointly by Zambia and Tanzania."

Kalemani said the pipeline would also have take-off points at Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya and Songwe regions on the Tanzanian side.

Thinking Through Gamification and HTML5 for Mobile Apps
Principal Architect for Mobility
In this article, my colleague and uber-geek (he builds games over wet-weekends) Peter Rogers shares his insights on Gamification and HTML5.
One of my most interesting achievements in life is having the first downloadable mobile game ever rejected. I was running an internal games team back in the days of the emergence of J2ME and we were actually running custom built MIDP 2.0 emulators (that I had to build myself) on top of iPAQs, as there was no 3G phone hardware available yet. We had to load a reduced Java SE runtime onto the iPAQ and then load on the MIDP 2.0 emulator which was itself written in Java. The interesting thing to note was the proliferation of Java SE runtimes that were available for Compaq's handheld Pocket PC, but they all suffered from performance issues which is why they never really took off. It was not until Google decided to make the Dalvik VM use a register-based architecture, as opposed to the stack machine typically used by a Java VM, that acceptable Java SE performance was possible on a mobile device and henceforth Android was born.
The concept of the game was actually very simple, a lot of chickens popped out of various holes and you had to grab hold of them (and sort of choke them). I hired Steve Brown as our artist, who was the legendary artist of the 1987 Commodore 64 classic Barbarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarian:_The_Ultimate_Warrior) which managed to gleefully court controversy ("Barbarian features gory combat for the sake of rescuing a bikini-wearing princess"). I am not sure if it was the animation sequences of cartoon chicken related violence (their eyes bulged out as you squeezed them) or the name of the game (chickens, choking, I am sure you can work it out). We also had a game where you had to lead sheep over a minefield with amazing graphical deaths. I think we managed to have three games rejected (some may actually class them as the first mobile games ever banned) but we did produce two exceptional games which did finally make it to market.
With that said, I have always had a strong love affair with mobile gaming and so I get a twitch of disatisfaction when people discuss Gamification in such dispassionate undertones. In my mind then Gamification is more than just adding experience points and awards to your underlying content. In my opinion the actual content needs to be changed and that means adopting simple game design concepts. Flappy Bird proved to the world that people are highly competitive and that frustration equals stickiness. I want to see more people adding actual mini-games into their content and not just into their advertising windows.
The creation of mini-games does require a supporting Gamification framework though. I believe this will happen, as HTML5 Gaming frameworks offer higher levels of abstraction and the best I have seen yet is the Quintus Game Engine (http://html5quintus.com/). In just 80 lines of code then you can write a simple platform game. I managed to prove this point by writing a touch screen Tetris game one wet weekend. The next step is Gaming frameworks that offer more simplified gaming experiences that can be created by amateurs. I envisage an App Factory with a simplified API that can be used to create mini-games that can run in a GameView window - similar to a UIWebView/WebView for wrapping web content. Only interactive adverts seems to offer anything similar to a GameView and these are generally a bad experience on mobile.
As one of the first five owners of a Nintendo Gameboy in this country, I remember sitting in a McDonalds and playing a portable monochrome Super Mario Land on a blurry screen, whilst watching the amazement of the local burger munching clientele. It has been clear to me for many years that Nintendo drives innovation far more than they get credit for.
It was very interesting then when I stumbled across a second hand copy of WarioWare DIY (https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/IuuBjN_K0sbf8ckx_2qo9IOUTFXWTisl). At first it appeared to be just a bad collection of mini-games but on further investigation it allowed you to actually create your own games and ship them to an online community. What amazed me was the simplicity of the API that was wrapped into an App Factory for amateurs. With a few clicks and a vast simplification of gaming logic then I was able to create mini-games and ship them to a wider audience. This may sound totally irrelevant until you hear all of your customers asking for Gamification and the complete lack of game creating talent generally available within a business. Imagine if you had a simple App Factory that allowed you to create simple Gamification experiences and export them into a GameView window within an App.
I am therefore currently looking at reverse engineering the WarioWare DIY API and creating my own Design Time API that enables the building of simple Gamification experiences that can be imported into existing native Apps or even loaded over the air (App Store regulations withstanding). This task would of course be far easier by just targeting HTML5 and building this on top of the excellent Quintus Game API, however there would be issues of performance.
Without targeting HTML5 Canvas and a suitable cross-compiler to native OpenGL then I would much rather target Polyglot code for multiple native operating systems. A polyglot is a computer program or script written in a valid form of multiple programming languages, which performs the same operations or output independent of the programming language used to compile or interpret it.
If anybody out there is interesting by my Gamification creation framework then please feel to reach out.

: China's overseas-listed stocks strong in 2021 kickoff, with domestic indexes notching 5-year highs
BEIJING — China's mainland stock markets retreated this week after its benchmark indexes recently hit five-year highs.
The Shanghai Composite Index
SHCOMP,
Shenzhen Component Index
SZCP,
and large-cap CSI 300 Index
all fell in the 1% range Monday. They opened down further Tuesday.
Despite the dour start to the week, key Chinese stocks at home have been driving a bull run of late. But what about abroad? Here are several overseas-listed Chinese stocks — those in the U.S. and Hong Kong — that have gotten off to a strong 2021.
Baidu: Nasdaq-listed Chinese search-engine leader Baidu Inc.
BIDU,
had a solid 2020 but in particular shot up last month amid a wave of positive news. First, UBS cited improvements on its core focus areas as part of why the investment bank upgraded it from a "neutral" to "buy" rating. But the share price blew past those gains in recent days on rumors the company would finally confirm plans to produce electric vehicles — which it did over the weekend — announcing that it will partner with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group
GELYY,
-1.23%,
which owns Lotus and Volvo among other brands.
Noah: Noah Holdings Ltd., which provides wealth-management services for China's rich, has been on a bullish run for months. But its New York Stock Exchange–listed ADRs NOAH have skyrocketed 70% since early December, just after the company announced a stock-buyback plan, a move that often signals that a company's leadership sees shares as undervalued. The bull run could be coming to a slowdown, however, as JPMorgan Chase & Co. downgraded the stock from "overweight" to "neutral" last week.
China Oilfield Services Ltd.: This Hong Kong–listed oil-services company
a subsidiary of state-owned giant CNOOC
has seen its shares climb nearly 17% this year, after turning a 2.5 billion yuan ($386 million) profit on 31.3 billion yuan in revenue last year. Analysts at energy specialists Argus said, "Chinese state-controlled firms' focus on shale gas, as part of China's decarbonisation plans, offer a bright spot for domestic oil field services firms this year." Commentators at Simply Wall St said an examination of the company's recent financial statements leads them to "expect China Oilfield Services to produce a higher profit next year."
NetEase: Nasdaq-listed shares
NTES,
of gaming and e-commerce company NetEase Inc. have jumped roughly 14% so far this year, as the company continues to offload its financial services-related arms — an area that, underscored by Ant Financial's government flogging, has come under intense scrutiny in China. Two weeks ago NetEase said it would shutter Youqian, which allowed users to manage their personal spending through an app.
Meanwhile, in Hong Kong:
Tencent: Jitters over the Trump administration's attempts to hobble Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s
sprawling suite of products — including the China "everything app" WeChat — caused the Hong Kong–listed company's stock price to drop sharply at the end of December. But it has since gained that loss and more, gaining roughly 5% this month. Part of Tencent's allure? Its extremely wealthy but lower-key leader, Pony Ma, has avoided the government scalping received by rival titan Jack Ma of Alibaba
-3.73%.
Sunny Optical: Other winners include Sunny Optical
which makes camera lenses for numerous major Chinese phone producers. Its stock has grown 29% over the past month and hit an all-time high Monday amid speculation that Apple
AAPL,
will enlist it to produce some of the iPhone maker's lens components.

How Milwaukee became so segregated and why it matters when it comes to crime
Violent crime has many causes. No one denies that.
And when it comes to homicide, public discussion has long centered on individual choices.
The victim's life gets put under a microscope and the focus turns to what the person may have done to lead to his or her death. And, yes, individual factors matter.
But so does the environment surrounding a homicide. Areas with high rates of homicide and other violent crime also have higher than average rates of poverty, unemployment and low homeownership.
Behind all of this is how those places got to their current condition. In Milwaukee, as in similar cities, researchers say segregation is at the root of the disparity in homicides.
Homicide totals fluctuate widely year to year
Homicide totals have varied widely over the past five years in Milwaukee.
In 2014, the city recorded 87 homicides.
The next year, the death toll skyrocketed to 147 and hewed close to that in 2016 with 141 homicides.
Segregation, poverty and unemployment didn't suddenly get worse between 2014 and 2015.
A more immediate factor — some researchers have pointed to the opioid crisis and drug trade — influenced the homicide rate.
Who is victimized by homicide in Milwaukee
What has remained constant throughout the years, even among the fluctuating homicide totals, is the disparity in who is victimized.
In 2018, Milwaukee's homicide rate was about 17 killings per 100,000 people. The rate for the city's black population was about 35 killings per 100,000.
In 2014, the citywide homicide rate was about 15 killings per 100,000 people. The rate for the city's black population was about 29 killings per 100,000.
And when it comes to gun homicides, the gap is wider and remains consistent over the years.
Last year in Milwaukee, a black resident was eight times as likely as a white resident to be shot and killed, a Journal Sentinel analysis found.
In 2014, a black resident was seven times as likely as a white resident to be shot and killed.
That racial disparity varies widely by place
In New Mexico, a black person is twice as likely to be shot and killed as a white person.
In Wisconsin, a black person is 22 times more likely than a white person to be fatally shot.
Why the big difference between the states?
Boston University researchers did a study that examined multiple variables: Unemployment, incarceration, education levels, poverty, homeownership and single-parent households.
They found one variable that correlated most closely to the statistics.
Segregation.
Highly segregated cities have high rates of violent crime
In 2017, the 10 cities with the highest concentration of violent crime were also among America's most segregated.
Of those 10 cities, seven — including Milwaukee — had a black-white segregation index higher than the national average of the 50 largest cities.
That segregation index, also called the dissimilarity index, represents the percentage of blacks that would need to relocate to be fully integrated with whites.
Integration is defined by an area's existing population, not an across-the-board 50-50 split. Full integration would mean every neighborhood has the same racial breakdown as the city as a whole.
Historic policies leave lasting segregation
The practice of redlining by the federal government in the 1930s created patterns of segregation still seen today.
The maps explicitly used race to determine creditworthiness and investment risk within neighborhoods. Areas deemed unworthy of economic investment were shaded red.
Using the redlining maps, banks refused to lend in predominantly black neighborhoods, leading to a lack of reinvestment. Meanwhile, white borrowers received loans to buy homes even if they had lower incomes.
Recent data shows 70% of white households own their homes in the Milwaukee metro area compared to 28% of black households. Local experts have said the disparity is a reflection of the area's segregation.
Redlining, racially restrictive housing covenants and local zoning laws, real estate agents who steered potential home buyers to specific neighborhoods and government investments in suburbs, which hastened white flight, all contribute to present-day segregation.
Those redlined areas today have higher rates of poverty, crime
Present-day census tracts don't match up perfectly with Milwaukee's historic redlined neighborhoods.
But of the tracts filling a majority of those historic areas, 36% of residents' incomes are below the poverty line — 9 percentage points worse than the citywide poverty rate of 27%.
From 2014 to 2018, the homicide rate in these neighborhoods was 13% worse than the number for the city as a whole, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel examination found.
The nonfatal shooting rate was 28% worse than the citywide average.
More integration, less poverty and violence
Research suggests the more integrated a city, the less correlation between income and race, the healthier the city and the lower the violence.
Milwaukee's most integrated neighborhoods have lower rates of poverty, shootings and homicides, a Journal Sentinel analysis found.
The 10 most integrated census tracts have a poverty rate of 20% — 7 percentage points lower than the citywide figure.
Over the past five years, the shooting rate in those areas was 56% lower than the citywide rate and the homicide rate was 26% lower.

Q: Github Codespaces start terminals with command on startup does anyone know a way to configure Github codespaces to run automatic multiple terminals with commands (eg. "npm start") on startup?
I already tried the VS-Code extension "Terminal Manager" with configured terminals.json file, but it works just in normal VS-Code. Not in Codespaces.
Thanks in advance

A: You can use postCreateCommand

This command is the last of three that finalizes container setup when a dev container is created.

If you have one script you can run after container created with this syntax:
{
  "postCreateCommand": "npm start"
}

// or

{
  "postCreateCommand": ["npm", "start"]
}

if you have multiply command you can separate commands with &&:
{
  "postCreateCommand": "npm install && npm start"
}

ZANESVILLE – Two new Zanesville City Schools principals were hired by the ZCS Board of Education during a special meeting Wednesday — Garry Young was approved as the new high school principal, and Kathleen Sauline was approved as the new middle school principal.
Young was chosen out of 23 applicants, said Kevin Appleman, ZCS coordinator of operations/pupil services. His annual salary will be about $88,000. Sauline was chosen out of 12 applicants, and her salary will be about $85,000.
Young had been the principal at Union Local High School in Belmont. He and his family had been living in Newark for the past seven years.
Young said he comes from a "big technology" background and is hoping to implement more technology into the school, through working with websites such as Google. He said he has worked with Google for Education, a program designed for teachers to use Google in the classroom, and he is working on becoming certified to teach those programs within the school.
He also is passionate about the community and the school working together and becoming part of one another. Young said he has previously worked as a band director and he enjoyed using his department to engage with the community. He said he is looking forward to doing the same at a school-wide level.
"I really like getting the community together with the school," he said.
His 5-year-old son will start kindergarten at ZCS in the fall, and Young said his family was excited about being a part of Zanesville.
Sauline is coming from West Branch Local Schools, near Youngstown, where she was the director of professional development. She said she's spent several years working with middle school students.
"I believe passionately in each child's potential to succeed," she said.
Part of that success is in working with the teaching staff, Sauline said, because she believes all staff are on the same team and need to work together.
Sauline said she has a strong research background and has a "hybrid" approach to education that includes "steeping students in excitement in problem-based learning" and "increasing individual competence in mathematics, reading and writing."
Getting students involved with the sciences early is a key to success, she said, because no matter what they do as adults will include some kind of math and science.

If you weren't happy with the health insurance you've had this year, you'll soon have a chance to go shopping for a new plan.
Are you ready for Round Three?
In less than a month, the federal Health Insurance Marketplace will swing open its virtual doors and let the masses in. Hopefully, this year will be much like last year rather than a repeat of the program's initial rocky start.
I love Obamacare, but the first year's open enrollment process was a mess. Personally, it only took me four applications, three online profiles and two attempts to verify my income before it was all said and done. However, last year was a relative walk in the park. I'm still getting notifications to complete the three applications that never went through the first year, but other than that, all's well on the health insurance front in my house.
Let's all hope this year will be smooth sailing as well. In the meantime, you can get ready for the open enrollment period by brushing up on these five facts about Obamacare.
Before we get too much further into our discussion on Obamacare, take note that the upcoming open enrollment period applies only to those who are buying their own insurance. If you're one of the 55.4 percent of Americans who get their insurance through their workplace (lucky dogs), you'll still have your normal open enrollment period through your employer.
However, for the 14.6 percent of the population who buy their own medical insurance, open enrollment on the government Health Insurance Marketplace begins Nov. 1. You'll have until Jan. 31 to select your 2016 plan. However, to ensure your new plan kicks in on Jan. 1, the earliest date possible, you need to make your selection between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15.
If you fail to sign up for health insurance coverage, you could be hit with a penalty at tax time. Back in 2014, when the health insurance mandate first went into effect, the fee wasn't too bad. It started as the greater of 1 percent of your income or a per-person assessment that was capped at $285 per family. For penalties based upon income, only the amount above the tax filing threshold, $10,150 for an individual, is used in the calculation.
For those who lacked coverage for only part of the year, the fee will be prorated. For example, an individual who goes without health insurance for three months will be assessed only 25 percent of the fee.
Those who owe a fee this year will have it assessed as part of their income taxes. Exemptions are available in certain situations, such as if you were without health insurance less than three months or the cost of the cheapest plan in your area exceeds 8 percent of your income.
Most states have opted to let the federal government run their health insurance exchanges. However, even if you live in a state with its own marketplace, you can head to the federal website to be directed to your own state exchange.
The federal website is HealthCare.gov, and if you used the website last year, you should be able to log in to your account to shop for new coverage starting Nov. 1. You can also call 800-318-2596 (might want to brew some coffee and be prepared to be on hold) and have a representative complete your application over the phone.
Finally, there may be local organizations that can help with the application and enrollment process. You can go to this page at HealthCare.gov to search for options in your area.
Assuming you're applying for health insurance on the marketplace for the first time, once you've completed your application, you should be presented with a number of health insurance plans from which to choose. These will be broken down into four tiers depending on the level of coverage they provide. Check out our overview of the tiers for more details.
Don't forget that you may be eligible for tax credits to subsidize premiums if you earn less than 400 percent of the federal poverty limit. In addition, those selecting a silver plan may be eligible for cost-sharing reductions that may lower co-payment amounts.
Deductible: The amount you must pay out of pocket before insurance coverage will kick in for nonpreventive care.
Co-payments: A flat amount you pay for certain services or items, such as office visits or prescription drugs.
Coinsurance: Similar to co-pays, coinsurance is the percentage of a health care bill that is your responsibility.
Network: Very few health insurance companies let you see any doctor you want nowadays. Most have a network of providers and facilities that participate with their health plans. Be sure your favorite doctors, hospitals and clinics are a part of a plan's network. Otherwise, you could be on the hook for your entire medical bill.
If you already have a plan you like from the 2015 open enrollment period, there's no need to log in or complete a new application. The Health Insurance Marketplace will automatically re-enroll you in your existing plan if you do nothing. In the event your insurer discontinues your plan, you'll be shifted to a similar plan.
But before you decide to put your health insurance on autopilot, it might be wise to at least check out your options. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, health insurance tax credits are calculated using the second-lowest silver-tiered plan as a benchmark. Individuals with more expensive plans must pay the full cost of the difference between their plan and that of the benchmark plan; that amount is not subsidized.
As a result, your premiums might go up significantly if your plan is no longer one of the cheapest options on the marketplace. To be safe, it might serve you to spend a little time to see if and how your premium will be changing in 2016 and whether a better option is available.
For more information on all things Obamacare, MTN has you covered. Do a search for Obamacare for information about the law, health insurance plans and more. Or if you want to start with just the basics, read our articles on Obamacare facts, how to prepare for Obamacare and common Obamacare scams.

"Suicide Is Painless" is a song written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Mike Altman (lyrics), which is best known for having been featured as the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H.
The actual title is "Song from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)". Mike Altman is the son of the original film's director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he wrote the song's lyrics.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that his son had earned more than a million US dollars for having co-written the song while he only made US$70,000 for having directed the movie.
The song was written specifically for Ken Prymus (the actor playing Private Seidman), who sang it during the faux suicide of Walter Waldowski (John Schuck) in the film's "Last Supper" scene.
Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for Mandel; first, it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless", secondly, it had to be the "stupidest song ever written". Altman tried to write the lyrics himself, but found that it was too difficult for his 45-year-old brain to write "stupid enough". Instead he gave the task to his 14-year-old-son, Michael, who apparently wrote the lyrics in five minutes.
Altman later decided that the song worked so well, he would use it as the film's main theme, despite Mandel's initial objections. This version was sung by uncredited session singers John Bahler, Tom Bahler, Ron Hicklin and Ian Freebairn-Smith (the vocals are sometimes misattributed to Johnny Mandel, due to his being the only name officially credited for the song).

Leftist Professor: Black People Too Stupid to Learn Algebra
Frustrated businesswoman
Leftists are amazingly condescending to blacks. And yet black leftists gleefully jump on board.
Take for example the claim that asking for valid ID disenfranchises blacks. The reason according to leftists? Blacks are the only race too stupid to get a valid ID.
Think this stance by Democrats would send blacks running from the Party of Patronizing? Think again.
Democrats put Planned Parenthood near blacks, and the organization obliges by killing blacks by abortion at 300 percent the national average. Don't expect black leftists to connect the dots. Because leftists made sure most leftist blacks are too stupid to think for themselves.
Take what we learned from Conservative 101:
Eloy Ortiz Oakley, chancellor of California Community Colleges System argued against forcing students in college to learn algebra. It's a "civil rights issue," said Oakley. Basically the argument is that if college was easier, more black people would have college degrees. Wow.
"This is a civil rights issue, but this is also something that plagues all Americans — particularly low-income Americans. If you think about all the underemployed or unemployed Americans in this country who cannot connect to a job in this economy — which is unforgiving of those students who don't have a credential — the biggest barrier for them is this algebra requirement. It's what has kept them from achieving a credential," said Oakley.
He argued against this just being a way to make college easier. "I hear that a lot and unfortunately nothing could be farther from the truth. Somewhere along the lines, since the 1950s, we decided that the only measure of a student's ability to reason or to do some sort of quantitative measure is algebra," he said.
The bigger irony is that Oakley doesn't want blacks to learn a math invented by Greeks and Hindus and perfected by a Muslim.
As Gulf News notes,
Although Babylonians invented algebra and Greek and Hindu mathematicians preceded the great Frenchman François Viète — who refined the discipline as we know it today — it was Abu Jaafar Mohammad Ibn Mousa Al Khwarizmi (AD780-850) who perfected it.
He used Al Jabr (algebra) in the title of a justifiably renowned study that became a classic textbook in leading universities for centuries: the "Hisab Al Jabr wal-Muqabalah" (The Book of Integration and Equation), introduced the use of Indo-Arabic numerals that, over time, came to be known as algorithms.
Exactly what else would Oakley suggest blacks not learn? Is he suggesting that anything blacks can't learn should just be dismissed?
Perhaps that's why leftists ignore the lack of decorum in the black community?
Interestingly, there exist excellent examples of blacks simply ignoring what we can't seem to learn. Take fatherhood as an example. Since black leftist men can't seem to learn fatherhood, they just abandon it.
Congratulations leftists!
Out of curiosity, how does Oakley plan to allow blacks to opt out? Will there be a black percentage that allows one to not take algebra? What if whites want to opt out, e.g., Rachel Dolezal? Is that allowed?
As you can see, leftism rears its ugly head, and we must rewrite the rules.

South Africa Beat West Indies by Eight Wickets to Win Series, Rein at Top in Tests
by R K Gupta on January 7, 2015
West Indies literally lost the match on the fourth day itself, when Marlon Samuels' impatience got the better of him. He became too wary of being kept quiet for long and Harmer benefitted from his sudden desire to hit a six. After that the slide had come in a rush. Until that point, West Indies had gone along with some intent with Chanderpaul and Samuels looking like true warriors out to create a position for their team. That didn't happen finally. The victory target was not at all difficult for a side that holds the world's no.1 position in test matches. South Africa duly completed the task before lunch on the final day, albeit after losing two wickets. The South African innings was highlighted by a fine unbeaten knock of 60 from Dean Elgar and his last day partnership with captain Hashim Amla, who scored the winning runs.
When play began in the morning, South Africa were suddenly faced with an intense pressure from West Indies bowlers, who didn't want to give away the victory to the hosts on a platter. They needed 115 and it looked easy on paper and it ended in their favor anyway. But Benn came to finish his over from last night and it was a wicket maiden. The next 6 overs were maidens as well with Benn and Taylor keeping Elgar and du Plessis on a tight leash. The usually attacking du Plessis was kept quiet for 27 balls before he could get off the mark on the 28th. Unfortunately, West Indies didn't have the luxury of a bigger target for their opponents and yet again the futility of Samuels' rush of blood on the previous day came to mind. South African batsmen began opening up after 17th over and once the runs started flowing, the diminishing target made the bowlers wary. Their only solace was the wicket of du Plessis, who had looked uncomfortable all along. In the 23rd over of the innings, Benn produced an unplayable ball that jumped out from the good length spot and took the shoulder of du Plessis' bat as he went forward for a defensive stroke. The edge flew over the head of the second slip fielder, who collided with another fielder from backward point but in the end, the catch was taken. Du Plessis played 69 balls for his 14 runs. At this point, Hashim Amla came to join Dean Elgar, who was composed for most part. The target had already come down to 73 runs as Amla and Edgar went along steadily. At 75/2, Amla survived a very confident LBW appeal and as per the review taken, the ball had almost brushed the top of the stumps. At 80/2, Edgar also benefitted, when a possible catch could not be completed by the deep midwicket fielder. In any case, the pressure had already eased on the batsmen, who had begun to laugh, when they chatted in the mid-field. The victory for South Africa finally came in the 38th over that yielded 8 runs, including the winning boundary from Amla.
The presentation show ended with Amla being handed over Sir Vivian Richards Trophy. They really deserved that as West Indies were completely outplayed in the series. The victory also resulted in South Africa being confirmed as the best test-playing nation in the world. The remaining part of the West Indies tour comprises of three T20 games and an ODI series. South Africa will strive to take their test-series triumph to the shorter format. Hopefully, the West Indies will play better from here onwards.
