National Geographic : 1915 May
Neighborizing the Farmer One of the most significant facts of our telephone progress is that one fourth of the 9,000,000 telephones in the Bell System are rural. In the days when the telephone was merely a "city convenience," the farms of the country were so many separated units, far removed from the centers of population, and isolated by distance and lack of facilities for communication. But, as the telephone reached out beyond cities and towns, it completely transformed farm life. It created new rural neighborhoods here, there and everywhere. Stretching to the farthest corners of the states, it brought the remotest vil lages and isolated places into direct contact with the larger communities. Today, the American farmer enjoys the same facilities for instant, direct communication as the city dweller. Though distances between farms are reckoned in miles as the crow flies, the telephone brings every one as close as next door. Though it be half a day's journey to the village, the farmer is but a telephone call away. Aside from its neighborhood value, the telephone keeps the farmer in touch with the city and abreast of the times. The Bell System has always recog nized rural telephone development as an essential factor of Universal Service. It has co-operated with the farmer to achieve this aim. The result is that the Bell System reaches more places than there are post offices and includes as many rural telephones as there are telephones of all kinds in Great Britain, France and Germany combined.

McKenna hails cigarette trafficking law as victory for kids' health and taxpayers
PACT Act championed by attorneys general
OLYMPIA – Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna applauded today President Obama's signing of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act, saying the new law will help keep tobacco out of kids' hands and restrain tax evasion.
"Internet cigarette sales have enabled sellers to skirt tax and age verification laws, making it easier for kids to buy cigarettes and costing taxpayer-supported programs billions of dollars," Attorney General Rob McKenna. "By banning the delivery of tobacco products through the mail, this law will snuff out a growing problem by shifting sales back to law-abiding retailers."
The PACT Act toughens penalties for renegade businesses that use the U.S. Post Office to illegally ship tobacco products. Attorney General Rob McKenna, the Tobacco Committee Co-chair for the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), championed the measure by recruiting his fellow attorneys general to lobby for the bill's passage.
The Washington State Attorney General's Office won passage of similar state legislation in 2009. Senate Bill 5340 prohibits the shipment tobacco products purchased through the Internet or by mail to anyone other than licensed wholesalers or retailers.
State attorneys general and federal officials have kept an eye on interstate cigarette trafficking because it undercuts the public health principles of the landmark 1998 settlement with major tobacco companies – the Master Settlement Agreement – designed to lower tobacco use.
The PACT Act received unanimous Senate approval and little opposition in the U.S. House of Representatives. The new law will curb the estimated $223 million in tax revenue lost by Washington state each year. Cigarette trafficking will also be elevated from a misdemeanor offense to a felony crime.

Q: How to configure a MySQL DataSource on Grails 3.1.x with web-api profile? I already use Grails since v1.3.x and now I'm not having success with the DataSource/GORM configuration...
My steps were:
1 - $ grails create-app myApi --profile=web-api.
2 - Configure the application.yml file with:
dataSource:
    pooled: true
    jmxExport: true
    driverClassName: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
    username: root
    password:

environments:
    development:
        dataSource:
            dbCreate: update
            url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test-app

3 - On build.gradle file, replace the runtime dependency "com.h2database:h2" with "mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.37"
4 - Create a database called test-app
5 - Create a domain: $grails create-domain-class MyDomain
6 - Add a String attribute on MyDomain classe called name
Example:
package myapi

class MyDomain {
    String name
    static constraints = { }
}

7 - Run the app: $grails run-app
Output:

Running application...
  objc[27851]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libinstrument.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
  Grails application running at http://localhost:8080 in environment: development

And no tables were created... anyone knows what step I'm missing in here?
OBS.: Even if I misspelled the database name, the app still running and no error happens.

A: Hibernate plugin are not include by default as a normal dependency on Grails 3.1.0.M2 with web-api profile, so in order to fix this you just have to add in your dependencies:
runtime "org.grails.plugins:hibernate:4.3.10.7"

The main 1-60(70) line is the easiest, it will auto move once you level up. The alt files are for if you want to get off the main grind line or you want to farm a specific zone or if you bot is over/under powered you can use them to force it to stay in 1 zone. Play around with them - see what works for you.
The file doesn't stop training new skills and trainers are populated for all classes. Wrobot by default will attempt to train at every level so some plugins alter training- got any wrobot plugins loaded?
Why not just use runcode to interact with all potential quest givers and accept any quest they have, then once you have spoken to all and collected the 3 quests use "ifHasQuest" steps to pulse the quests you picked up?
thats because the FC is trying to use a skill outside of the range... put the Me.target.distance setting to = your rage (in yds) and it should stop shuddering and just go to ur FC range and start attacking. you may set a range in your FC... however the way wrobot works is if u have a target outside range.. it will start tying spells. Sometimes its good like hunters mark / pet attack, sometimes bad like what you are seeing. All part of optimising a FC.
Chances are you are loading a quest profile as a grinder. Put the same file in the quest folder and load it in quest mode and see what it does. A lot of people (myself included) write grind profiles on the quest framework as it allows more customisation / control over the bot. the file may not do a single quest- still try load this file as a quest file.
depends on the version of wow you play... take a look at other FC's that use it and implement it in yours.
IIRC Droidz put in an option where is a FC has <25 yd range it will trigger auto attack and if its > 25 yds it wont trigger it. You would need to write the FC in C# and put a range clause in it.. If you are still keen take a look at my vanilla Hunter FC and look at the range function and change the options to be Mana driven so if you have <10% mana the range is 5 yds so the bot auto attacks. Ideally... gear / set the bot up so it wont go OOM or set up wanding for low mana situations.
I dont believe that functionality is in the bot itself. Personally i would re-write the file as a quest and use a run-code to click the button on looting like what i had to do for vanilla dungeon farming to loot the BoP stuff.
What happens if you turn off repair?
Hey Sam, For the undead quester i made the bot take res sickness for some parts. There are some spots in there that if the bot dies, chances are it will get stuck in a death loop and need intervention. Its not the best, however IIRC when i was testing the file without res sickness majority of the bots landed in death loops. If you edit the file and look in the pulse steps you can prob see where i get the bot to use the spirit healer and block out the steps... Mounting should be done by adding the mount name in here no?
It's a fight class, not a profile. This tells the priets bot how to fight, not where, when and whom. Put this file in the fight class folder and then load it with a grinder / quester to actually do something.
It should be default with the wrobot install- take a look in the install directory.


The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") has once again postponed the effective date of the Notice Posting requirement, setting April 30, 2012 as the new date. Delayed from the previous January 31, 2012 effective date, this delay was due to a request from the federal court overseeing a legal challenge from business groups, in order to give businesses an additional 90 days before they must comply.
Employers large enough to be subject to the jurisdiction of the NLRB will be required by the new Federal Rule to post a Notice to Employees advising them of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. To determine whether a particular employer is large enough, the law will employ the NLRB's traditional specific industry, total revenue and dollar amount of interstate commerce standards. These standards are broad enough to cover most employers.


The rumors about alien life have once again appeared. This time, the rumors were started by an announcement made by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
According to NASA, it will hold a teleconference on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016, to present new findings from images of Europa, one of the largest of Jupiter's 67 known moons, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Europa is said to be the sixth-closest moon of Jupiter, and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites, as well as the sixth-largest moon in the solar system. Its distance to Earth is approximately 628.3 million km.
NASA said participants in the teleconference will include: Paul Hertz, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division; William Sparks of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore; Britney Schmidt of the Georgia Institute of Technology; and Jennifer Wiseman, senior Hubble project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Immediately after NASA issued the statement, fevered speculations about alien life appeared on social media. The speculations emerged due to researchers in the past having said Europa is one of the best places to find alien life in the solar system. In fact, some astrobiologists have even theorized that organisms could survive in its oceans.
In late 2013, it is said the Hubble telescope observed water vapor erupting from Europa. Many researchers hailed the development as a 'tremendously exciting' discovery.
Even before the 2013 discovery, previous scientific findings on Europa had revealed existence of a possible ocean located under its icy crust. Researchers who made the discovery theorized then, that if the ice on the surface of the moon is drilled to the ground, oceans will be detected. This discovery on Europa fueled the debate about the possibility of alien life. Lorenz Roth of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio said at the time, that if the plumes of vapor were connected to the ocean beneath the crust, they could start searching for life nearer the surface.
In this current announcement by NASA, when speculations about a possible alien life on Europa began trending on social media, NASA tweeted to quash the rumors.
Extraterrestrial life, commonly referred to as alien life, is a life that does not originate from the Earth. Some cosmologists believe alien life ranges from simple bacteria-like organisms to civilizations that are far more advanced than that of human beings.
Some exobiologists also suspect that alien life exists, although there is no empirical evidence to prove it. Exobiology is the knowledge and study of alien life.
Since the mid-20th century, there has been a significant surge in the search for signs of alien intelligence by researchers. Radios have been deployed to detect possible extraterrestrial signals and telescopes have also been mounted to search for potentially habitable extra solar planets.
Many science fiction movies on alien life have also been released to the public. This has increased the public interest in the search for alien life, especially among the western public. Some researchers encourage aggressive methods to try and contact alien life, however, some also believe that contacting aliens will be dangerous for humanity.
Particularly this year, a possible detection of alien life, or planets occupied by aliens, has appeared many times in the media.
In August 2016, the German investigative weekly news magazine, Der Spiegel, revealed that researchers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have discovered a new Earth-like planet with water. Several attempts by journalists to have the ESO confirm or deny the report by Der Spiegel proved futile, prompting some conspiracy theorists to say the organization has discovered a planet inhabited by aliens, and is hiding it from the public.
Recently also, Russian astronomers engaged in the Search of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, detected a strong mysterious radio signal on a sun-like star, around 94 light years from Earth. Light years is a unit of length used informally to express astronomical distances. One light year is approximately 9 trillion kilometers. According to the Russian researchers, the strange signal was detected from the direction of HD164595. This revelation sparked alien life speculation.
Stay with us for the latest on what NASA has discovered on Europa. We are following the event closely.


American Young is one of my favorite new duos. They released a new album earlier this year and there are some really good songs on it. I don't think any of the singles have been met with huge success at radio, but there is definitely potential.
I also think that I thought American Young was an independent act, but now it looks like they're on Curb Records, which has a long history of launching new careers.
It'll be interesting to see if AY can build some momentum. I really like this new one that popped up on Wild Country on Spotify.
This song covers an important topic. We all have smartphones, TVs and all kinds of good stuff these days. But are they all good?
That's what AY is exploring in this one. We're very "connected" in life today when it comes to being able to see updates on Facebook and videos on YouTube and things like that. We could go through the day with constant contact with information of all kinds.
But does that leave us needing more in-person contact and connection with the ones we love? I don't know if it's a good thing that couples and families sit on the couch on their phones without talking to each other. There needs to be that personal connection.
That's what this song is about. The couple is realizing that they need to rekindle the flame a bit.
Great song from a great new country act.

Engine R&D – Scuderi Group Seek Miller Split-cycle Engine Patents
Scuderi Engine: Photo courtesy of Scuderi Group
Scuderi Group announce publication of Miller-cycle patent application & technical papers
Scuderi Group an engine development company, announce the simultaneous publication by both the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) of its primary patent application covering Miller Cycle operation applied to a split-cycle engine. The patent application is titled "Turbocharged Downsized Compression Cylinder For A Split-Cycle Engine."
The patent application relates to a turbocharged split-cycle engine that divides the four strokes of a conventional Otto cycle engine over two paired cylinders. One cylinder, called the "compressor", does the intake and compression strokes, while the other cylinder, called the "expander", does the expansion (or power) and exhaust strokes. The compressor and expander are connected by a specially-designed crossover port to enable the transfer of compressed gas. In a split-cycle engine, each of the four strokes is completed in one revolution of the crankshaft, as opposed to the four strokes requiring two revolutions in a conventional engine. The split-cycle engine requires the same number of cylinders as a conventional engine, but the compressor and expander cylinders must be equally paired.
"Applying the Miller Cycle to the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine is significant because it gives a split-cycle engine a significant advantage over a conventional engine when it comes to operating the Miller Cycle," said Stephen Scuderi, vice president and patent attorney at Scuderi Group. "In this configuration, the compression cylinder can always run at or near maximum volumetric efficiency no matter how much it is downsized relative to the expansion cylinder; and achieving maximum volumetric efficiency keeps pumping losses across the intake valves to a minimum."

The spirit of openness and responsibility that led Geneva to become home to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has shaped Fondation Lombard Odier's vision of business and community engagement.
The ICRC has been at the forefront of humanitarian innovation since its creation over 150 years ago. However, the state of the world and accelerating pace of change require a higher capacity for innovation and evolution. In the last few decades, global developments in the conduct and nature of conflict, the politicisation of humanitarianism, technological developments and changing needs and expectations of beneficiaries have made it essential for the ICRC to adapt if it is to fulfil its mandate.
To strengthen the institution's capacity to innovate and aid victims of conflict, Fondation Lombard Odier has decided to allocate its contribution as an ICRC Corporate Support Group member to support the ICRC innovation initiative in creating internal momentum on innovation and mobilising additional partners and funds.
Since 2011, Fondation Lombard Odier has worked with the ICRC to enhance its capacity to respond to its challenges and collaborate with the private sector, relying chiefly on ICRC's diverse and committed workforce in 80 field delegations and at its headquarters. As a result, ICRC created an Innovation Cell and Corporate Partnerships Unit at its headquarters in Geneva and launched a series of humanitarian innovation pilots in the field.
At Fondation Lombard Odier, we believe innovative finance can ensure that philanthropic money is smart money. One example for this is a first-of-its-kind transaction we co-sponsored with the ICRC in 2017.
The Programme for Humanitarian Impact Investment (PHII)—also called the Humanitarian Impact Bond (HIB)—saw private investors lend €22m of five-year funding to ICRC with a pay-per-performance mechanism. The project operates in Nigeria, Mali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will build and run three physical rehabilitation centres. The ICRC already runs 139 physical rehabilitation projects in 34 countries, helping more than 330,000 people with physiotherapy and mobility devices including wheelchairs and artificial limbs.
a radical, innovative but at the same time logical step for the ICRC.

Labour is now the party of Middle England, Keir Starmer claims as he accuses Conservatives of failing businesses and raiding Britons' pockets with tax rises
Starmer believes Labour will hold consistent poll lead over Tories within a year
He said his shadow cabinet reshuffle has got his 'strongest team on the pitch'
Tories won with a reduced majority in the Old Bexley and Sidcup by-election
By Jack Newman For Mailonline
Published: 19:01 EST, 3 December 2021 | Updated: 19:07 EST, 3 December 2021
Sir Keir Starmer has claimed Labour is the party of Middle England and believes he has the charisma to secure a consistent poll lead over the Conservatives within the next 12 months.
The Labour leader accused Boris Johnson's government of failing businesses and hiking the cost of living as he said his latest cabinet reshuffle got his 'strongest team on the pitch' ahead of a potential general election.
Speaking in an interview with The Times, Starmer said: 'I think that the contrast between ourselves and the government will become starker.
'We've made significant progress in the polls. I think the green shoots - or red shoots - are there.'
Asked if he thought Labour was the party of Middle England, he replied: 'Yes, yes, absolutely, yes it is, and it must be... Have we got to focus on winning votes in the Red Wall? Yes, but we've also got to focus on winning votes in the Blue Wall, win votes in Scotland and across the whole United Kingdom.'

Starmer promoted a number of prominent centrist figures in his surprise reshuffle on Monday, demoting his key allies in the shake-up.
His wide-ranging reshuffle saw a return to the frontbench for Yvette Cooper who replaced Nick Thomas-Symonds as shadow home secretary.
He also also handed big promotions to two of Labour's rising stars, Bridget Phillipson and Wes Streeting, who are taking on the roles of shadow education secretary and shadow health secretary.
Jonathan Ashworth, who has had the health brief through the pandemic, has been moved to shadow work and pensions secretary.
Ms Nandy was replaced as shadow foreign secretary by David Lammy. She was moved to face off against Michael Gove as shadow secretary for levelling up and communities.
But the reshuffle blindsided deputy leader Angela Rayner who fears the rift with can be healed, allies said.
But Starmer has now insisted the pair are still friends and there is no issue between them.
After the moves, the Labour leader wrote a letter to his new shadow cabinet, saying it will operate very differently from now on.
Despite his claims of a Labour surge, the party suffered another loss on Friday in the Old Bexley and Sidcup by-election, although the Tories had a reduced majority.
The Conservatives' majority in the safe seat was slashed from almost 19,000 to less than 4,500.

Oliver Dowden, the Tory chairman, insisted it was a 'good result for a governing party mid-term' as he slapped down Labour claims that its improved second placed finish showed it is on course to win power in 2024.
Shadow solicitor general Ellie Reeves said the 10.3 per cent swing to Labour was 'fantastic' and 'if replicated at a general election Labour would be within reach of forming a majority government'.
But Mr Dowden said: 'This idea that Labour have made some surge ahead is really for the birds.'
The vote – which was called following the death of former cabinet minister James Brokenshire in October – took place amid a whirlwind of sleaze allegations against the Government.
Tory candidate Louie French took the seat with 11,189 votes, ahead of his Labour rival on 6,711, a majority of 4,478.
The Tories' share of the vote at just over 51 per cent was down 13 per cent on the 2019 general election result.
Turnout in the contest was just 34 per cent, down from the almost 70 per cent who voted in 2019.
Mr French praised Mr Brokenshire's record in his acceptance speech, and said it had been 'a tough contest, which has been fought with dignity and respect'.
Mr French contested the seat alongside ten other candidates including Daniel Francis for Labour, Simone Reynolds for the Lib Dems, Jonathan Rooks for the Greens, and Richard Tice for the Reform Party, who came third with 1,432 votes.
Mr Tice, who is also the Reform Party leader, later tweeted: 'Huge thanks to voters in Old Bexley & Sidcup. A massive result for @reformparty-uk, coming 3rd with almost as many votes as the Lib Dems & Greens combined. Now only 5 parties to choose from in British politics and Reform UK is the only one on the upward march.'
The result is likely to raise further questions over Mr Johnson's leadership after weeks of turmoil and growing backbench anger at his handling of sleaze claims and the Covid crisis.
The Conservatives will face a second by-election later this month in North Shropshire following the resignation of Owen Paterson.

Mr Dowden told Sky News this morning that he was 'really not terribly worried about Labour' after the Tory majority was slashed in the constituency.
He said: 'This is a good result for a governing party mid-term. As you well know, governing parties shouldn't expect to do well mid-term.
'We actually secured over 50 per cent of the vote in Bexley. I pay tribute to our excellent candidate and the campaign team there that secured that result.
'This idea that Labour have made some surge ahead is really for the birds. They've actually got about the same vote share as they secured under Jeremy Corbyn in 2017. Keir Starmer couldn't even be bothered to turn up to the by-election, so I am really not terribly worried about Labour.'
Asked if he believed allegations of sleaze may have affected the Tories' performance, Mr Dowden said: 'Of course people have concerns mid-term with any government's performance. And, of course, people have been concerned about what's happened over the past couple of months.
'I actually think it's tribute, contrary to a lot of expectations, to the campaign that has been fought by Louie French, by the excellent team down there, that we secured 50 per cent of the vote.
'Now, what I take from that is that the Government has to focus and get on with delivery.'
Ms Reeves, who helped run the Labour campaign in the by-election, tweeted: 'A fantastic 10.3 per cent swing to Labour in the Conservative heartland of Old Bexley and Sidcup.
'If replicated at a general election Labour would be within reach of forming a majority government.'
The shadow minister told the BBC that Labour was 'pleased' with the 'remarkable' result.
'This is a Conservative stronghold, somewhere that had a 19,000 majority at the last general election and what we've seen tonight is that majority being slashed,' she said.

'There's been a 10 per cent swing over to Labour this evening. We've been knocking on doors for weeks here and finding many, many Conservative voters that have said actually I'm not going to vote for them this time, I'm going to vote for Labour.
'I think it's clear that we're winning back the trust of people and it's a remarkable result for us in a Tory stronghold.'
The Tories put a brave face on the result after it was announced, pointing out Mr French secured more than half the votes cast.
Conservative deputy chairman Justin Tomlinson said: 'We're absolutely thrilled. For a Government to get over 50 per cent of the vote in a parliamentary by-election is almost unheard of, and with a majority of over 20 per cent.
'A fantastic local candidate, positive campaign, focused on the tangible difference we're making to people's lives, having navigated the unprecedented challenges of Covid.'
He added that the result was an 'absolute disaster' for the Labour Party, saying: 'They do not look like a Government in waiting.'
In his victory speech, Mr French said: 'I'm incredibly proud of the campaign my team and I have run based on local issues that matter to the people who live here.
'And tonight, those people send a clear message: they want an MP who will work with the Government to deliver on their priorities.
'My focus will now be delivering on those promises that I made during the campaign - get our fair share of London's police officers, securing more investment for local schools and hospitals, protecting our precious green spaces.'
Labour claimed its improved second place position showed Sir Keir Starmer has the party on a path back to power

He promised voters he would 'work tirelessly to repay the trust that you've placed in me and I will not let you down'.
'This is the greatest honour of my life. And I hope it inspires people to achieve their own dreams.'
The by-election was called following the death of Mr Brokenshire, 53, who died from lung cancer in October.
He represented Old Bexley and Sidcup from 2010, having been initially elected as the MP for Hornchurch in 2005.
The constituency has been held by the Conservatives since its inception in 1983, and also in its various guises since the 1950s.

Ginger is used extensively as a spice in cuisines throughout the world. Originating in southern China, cultivation of ginger spread to India, Southeast Asia, West Africa, and the Caribbean.
Ginger contains up to 3% of an essential oil that causes the fragrance of the spice.
Young ginger are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or just cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They are also stewed in boiling water to make ginger tea. Mature old ginger root is used as a spice in Chinese cuisine to flavor dishes such as in seafood and mutton.
Ginger is also candied, is used as a flavoring for candy, cookies, crackers and cake. It is the main flavor in ginger ale, a sweet carbonated non-alcoholic beverage, as well as the similar but somewhat spicier beverage, ginger beer. Green ginger wine is a ginger flavoured wine, produced in the United Kingdom and traditionally sold in a green glass bottle. Ginger is also used as a spice added to hot coffee and tea. In Japan, ginger is pickled to make BENI SHOGA and GARI or grated and used raw on tofu or noodles. In traditional Korean KIMCHI, ginger is minced finely and added into the ingredients of the spicy paste just before the fermenting process. In India, ginger is used in all sub-varieties of the Indian cuisines.
Medical research has shown that ginger root is an effective treatment for nausea caused by motion sickness or other illness and also contains many antioxidants. Powdered dried ginger root is made into capsules for medicinal use. Ginger ale and ginger beer have been recommended as "stomach settlers" for generations in countries where the beverages are made. It is used on minimizing joint pain from arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. It is believed to have blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties, making it effective in treating heart disease
India is one of the prime producers of ginger. In 2003, India grew over a quarter of a million tones, almost three quarters more than thirty years ago. It is grown on a smaller extent in Bangladesh and Pakistan. In India there are at least 400 different cultivars, each with varying properties such as the level of potent ginger oil. India is one of the top producers of ginger oil, and exports mainly to America and Europe.
The most familiar form in Europe is dried ginger. Its preparation involves boiling ginger in water, or peeling it, scraping or slicing it, and drying. Peeled version is known as 'uncoated' or 'white' ginger. Those with the peel still on are known as or 'black' or 'coated' ginger. Both are usually sun dried for several days.

Yamaha YHT-697BL Home Theater in a Box System Delivers Market Leading Mix of Performance, Value And Design
Robust system boasts AirPlay, Apple connectivity, iOS/Android/Kindle Fire app control, dramatically styled tower speakers and HDMI 4K and 3D video pass-through
Yamaha Corporation of America, AV Division, today introduced the YHT-697BL, the latest entry to its formidable line of home theater in a box (HTiB) systems. Offering a refined take on the category, this system features a powerful 5.1-channel receiver with AirPlay and a front panel USB port for direct connectivity to iPhones, iPads, iPods and USB drives. The speaker package consists of dramatically styled glossy black front tower speakers, compact surround and center speakers and a powerful 6 ½" 100W multi-range subwoofer.
The YHT-697BL features HDMI 4K and 3D video pass-through with Audio Return Channel (ARC) and Yamaha's proprietary CINEMA DSP 3D audio to ensure that the system will deliver superior home theater experiences for years to come.
"The ubiquity of portable devices, like music players, smart phones and tablets, makes it essential that Yamaha HTiB systems deliver a higher level of performance and flexibility than consumers expect in this category," said Tom Sumner, senior vice-president, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Our YHT-697 is the sophisticated entertainment hub that marries exceptional audio and video quality with
seamless connectivity and control features."
The YHT-697BL system features a network receiver with AirPlay that enables music to be streamed wirelessly from the latest versions of iTunes stored on Macs, PCs and compatible Apple iPad/iPhone/iPod touch devices. This system also delivers music content from Internet radio and DLNA-certified devices.

Tariffs, trade tensions concern Fortune 500 execs, Chamber of Commerce finds

Tariffs and trade tensions remain significant concerns for large businesses across the U.S., with about 43% of Fortune 500 companies mentioning these issues during earnings calls in the last few months, a study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce showed.
Of 437 earnings calls made by Fortune 500 companies between Aug. 24 and Nov. 24, 188 included mention of the impact of either tariffs or trade tensions on their businesses. In particular, 30% of Fortune 500 companies discussed the impact of tariffs, while 26% discussed trade tensions.
Retail, transportation and logistics companies were most likely to discuss tariffs, while technology and finance enterprises mentioned trade tensions more often. Nearly half of earnings calls from the manufacturing and industrial sectors discussed both tariff and trade tension impacts.
The study also noted that 40% of construction contractors said their businesses would be affected by steel and aluminum tariffs, while 32% were concerned about the effect of new material and equipment tariffs on their operations.
Companies have dealt with increased tariff-related costs by absorbing the costs themselves, passing them to consumers and negotiating deals with suppliers, the Chamber said.
President Donald Trump said Dec. 13 that his administration will not impose 15% tariffs on $160 billion of Chinese goods slated to go into effect Dec. 15 and that negotiations on a "phase two deal" will begin "immediately." Beijing followed suit by suspending the additional 10% and 5% tariffs on some U.S. imports originally due to take effect Dec. 15, after the two countries agreed to the text of a "phase one" deal to slow their trade war.
The U.S. business group, which has advocated for an end to tit-for-tat tariffs, on Dec. 19 repeated its call for U.S. and Chinese officials to continue working to resolve trade tensions between the countries with the world's two largest economies.
"We urge the administration to keep its eyes on the prize. We call upon both governments to continue working diligently toward a final agreement within six months," U.S. Chamber Executive Vice President Myron Brilliant said.

Pochettino Admits He Is 'Embarrassed' By Spurs' Champions League Defeat & Refuses To Blame Wembley
By Anirban Das
Updated on: November 3, 2016
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino revealed that Spurs' defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at Wembley has left him disappointed.
This was the second defeat for the Premier League club in the group stage matches as Pochettino's men are now struggling to qualify for the knockout stages.
Kevin Kampl scored the deciding goal for Bayer Leverkusen and it was enough for the Bundesliga side to clinch a victory over spurs as Roger Schmidt's men edged past Pochettino's side to secure the second spot in the group E table.
Spurs have showed early sparks in the Premier League after making a positive start this season but they have struggled to hold on to the form in the Champions League. The defeat on Wednesday was their second defeat at their temporary home ground Wembley.
Spurs had started their Champions League campaign with a defeat against Ligue 1 side Monaco and now Pochettino have informed his players that they have to step up their game and win the remaining group stage matches to stand a chance to qualify for the knockout stages.
Pochettino rubisshed all suggestions that the shift to Wembley had taken a toll on their performance and accentuated that Wednesday's defeat in front of a record 85,512 crowd has left him heartbroken.
Pochettino said: "There is no better place to play than Wembley. Losing in front of 85,000 people, it's embarrassing for me, it's a shame. We have to look at ourselves."
"You cannot blame Wembley. Wembley for me was fantastic, but we need to show more. We were poor again, we need to find answers in ourselves. We need to be critical. We were the problem, not Wembley."
"We were very disappointed we didn't show quality. Stop blaming Wembley, it's not Wembley."
Spurs are now four points behind group leaders AS Monaco and two behid Bundesliga side Leverkusen, who sits second on the group table. Pochettino's men are left with two group stage games and it's now a do or die situation for the Premier League side.
"We must win in Monaco. If not, forget the Champions League," said Pochettino.
"We need to improve and we don't have too much time. We need to be critical and put ourselves in front of the mirror and say, 'Come on we need to improve'. To find the answer is inside us and that is very important. We were poor today and in both games at Wembley, we didn't show our real quality."
Pochettino also admitted that he had no other option but to replace midfielder Mousa Dembélé due to an ankle injury and added that Harry Kane still needs some time to regain full match fitness.
Kane is expected to resume full training on Thursday but the Argentine amanger asserted that the English forward needs to regain full fitness and is not ready to start against fierce rivals Arsenal.
"This result will not change the idea, but it will be difficult for Kane to play from the start," added Pochettino.

Based on a composition from the Romantic period that celebrates art as the promise of a better world, already in their first solo show "Holde Kunst (Gracious Art)" at Esther Donatz Gallery Clea Stracke & Verena Seibt explored changes in the notion of art and its instrumentalization in a humorous but critical view. The artists now carry the question of culture's worth and necessity even further: How important is art in a catastrophe or in a state of exception when the world is out of joint? Does it disappear or can it assert itself? May it even be a human lifeline? For their current show, ambiguously entitled "Der Fall K.", Clea Stracke & Verena Seibt have created different scenarios of collapsing and being thrown into turmoil. Besides an installation that violates the spatial structure of the gallery, in videos, photographs and works on paper they confront visitors with states of disbalance thereby offering new perspectives on the relation to art and artists through highly metaphoric connotations of failure, hope, and success.
Clea Stracke (*1982 in Berlin) & Verena Seibt (*1980 in Dachau) who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Munich have been collaborating since 2006. In addition to the Bayerische Kunstförderpreis 2012, they received the Hartware MedienKunstVerein Grant for Women Media Artists as well as the Schloss Ringenberg Grant in 2013. Works by Clea Stracke & Verena Seibt have been exhibited in various institutions, such as Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt/Main, Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, and Simultanhalle, Cologne. This year, works in public and art-in-architecture projects will be realized in Munich, Paderborn and Warnemünde. Apart from that Clea Stracke & Verena Seibt participate in shows and screenings at Zeche Zollern, Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund, and Quadriennale Düsseldorf 2014. A monograph on the artists will be published soon.


New Delhi: Reliance Infrastructure Ltd-run Delhi Airport Metro Express was back on track on Tuesday after a gap of six months. Commercial operations of the 23-km corridor that connects Connaught Place with terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport resumed at 5.30 am on Tuesday and passengers were charged a flat rate of ₹ 30 as an inaugural day offer.
Trains on the line will run at a drastically reduced speed of 50 km per hour from the earlier speed of 105 km per hour. This was decided by the commissioner of metro rail safety who inspected the corridor last week. However, the speed will be gradually increased after periodic inspection by the Delhi Metro.
Passengers could not avail check-in and baggage facilities on Tuesday. Reliance Infra officials said a separate notification would be issued for this.
Though resumption of services would bring smiles on the faces of commuters, an 18-20 minute journey from Connaught Place to the terminal-3 of IGI Airport will hitherto take at least 30 to 35 minutes, effectively failing the purpose of a high-speed corridor. The corridor was shut in July last year after Reliance Infra complained to the Delhi Metro that cracks have been noticed on civil structures of the corridor.
Delhi Metro completed the civil structure and handed it over to Reliance Infra for operations in 2010. Problems were also noticed in the clippings used in the underground section of the corridor. It is believed that the train speed can be increased only when the clipping issue is rectified. The problems on the civil structure also led the Reliance Infra offer to quit the line citing financial non-viability. But, Delhi Metro rejected the offer and the same is now referred to arbitration.

Q: Recovering types through an Isa relationship My database has 7 tables: one is the parent (feeds) and the other 3 are the children (public feeds, private feeds, generated feeds) of an isA relationship. There is a table "subscriptions" with a foreign key on the feeds table. Each user can subscribe a feed of any type. The problem is that the view for each type of feed is different, that means I need to generate different links for each type of feed subscribed. Under the current scheme I need to perform 3 queries to get the type of the feed from the feed id. Is there a better solution to this problem?

A: You could use a view to pre-join the children to the parents, and to get a consistent result regardless of which child type.  For example:
create view feed_links as
select f.feed_name
,      case f.feed_type
            when 'public' then pub.x + pub.y
            when 'private' then pri.z
            when 'generated' then gen.v + gen.w
            end as link
from   feeds f
left outer join public_feeds pub on pub.feed_id = f.feed_id
left outer join private_feeds pri on pri.feed_id = f.feed_id
left outer join generated_feeds gen on gen.feed_id = f.feed_id
where ...;

Or if your feeds table doesn't have a feed_type column (or equivalent):
create view feed_links as
select f.feed_name
,      case when pub.feed_id is not null then pub.x + pub.y
            when pri.feed_id is not null then pri.z
            when gen.feed_id is not null then gen.v + gen.w
            end as link
from   feeds f
left outer join public_feeds pub on pub.feed_id = f.feed_id
left outer join private_feeds pri on pri.feed_id = f.feed_id
left outer join generated_feeds gen on gen.feed_id = f.feed_id
where ...;

LinkedIn's China rival Maimai raises $200 million ahead of US IPO
|In The Numbers
|By Emma Lee
Maimai, China's biggest rival to LinkedIn, announced that the company received a $200 million D Series investment this April in what the company claims to be the largest funding ever in the professional networking market. With a valuation of at least $1 billion company has been raised to unicorn status.
Global venture capital DST led the funding with the participation of existing investors of IDG, Morningside Venture Capital, and DCM.
In addition, the firm says it plans to invest RMB 1 billion (around $150 million) over the next three years in a career planning program it launched in partnership with over 1000 companies including global top-500 firm Cisco and Chinese renowned firms like Fashion Group and Focus Media.
With the new funding, the company is gearing up for a US IPO and overseas expansion in the second half of 2019, according to the company founder and CEO Lin Fan.
Launched in the fall of 2013, Maimai aims particularly at business people as a platform to connect professional workers and offer employment opportunities. The site now claims over 50 million users. As a Chinese counterpart of LinkedIn, Maimai has been competing head-on with Chinese arm of the US professional networking giant since its establishment and gradually gaining an upper hand with features tailored for local tastes.
Chinese market research firm iResearch ranked Maimai ahead of LinkedIn for the first time in the rankings of China's most popular social networking apps in April last year. The firm further gains ground this year as its user penetration rate reaching 83.8% in June, far higher than LinkedIn China's 11.8%, according to data from research institute Analysys.
As a China-born company, Maimai gained momentum over the past two years with localized features, such as the anonymous chatting, mobile-first, real-name registration, and partnerships with Chinese emerging tech giants. But like many of Chinese tech services, the company is subject to the state's tight online regulation. The government watchdog has ordered Maimai to remove the anonymous posting section on its platform last month.

Q: Make an HTTP request from MSBuild script I'm looking for a way to hit a web app/restful service URL from msbuild script to trigger remote procedure.
Is there any way how I can do that except calling that external app?
Ideally I'm looking for a way to break a build sequence if service returned something else that http 200

A: In version 4 of the MSBuild Community Tasks, the HttpRequest task was replaced by HttpWebRequest with a different syntax:
<MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Web.HttpWebRequest
        TaskAction="GetResponse" Url="http://www.freetodev.com">
    <Output TaskParameter="Response" ItemName="ResponseDetail"/>
    <Output TaskParameter="Status" PropertyName="ResponseStatus"/>
</MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Web.HttpWebRequest>

A: I use the MSBuild Community Tasks a lot. They add extra tasks for MSBuilds. In there is a HttpRequest task which, from the look of it, does what you want.
<HttpRequest Url="http://<mydomain.com>/index.php?checkdb=1"
                EnsureResponseContains="Database upgrade check completed successfully."
                FailOnNon2xxResponse="true" />

Hope this helps
