Q: Merge Karma test results from two angular projects I have one main angular project that contains angular tests. Inside of this i have a "shared" module, which is actually a BitBucket submodule that has it's own karma tests.
Whenever i run the ng test command on the main project client app folder, tests from both "projects" are started but the results are overwritten ( big project overwrites the submodule or vice-versa)
Is there any way to append the results in the same results-file?
Also, for the main project i'm using JUnit Reporter, this is my karma.config file from the main project :
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
process.env.CHROME_BIN = puppeteer.executablePath();

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    customLaunchers: {
      X: {
        base: 'ChromeHeadless',
        flags: [
          '--headless',
          '--no-sandbox',
        ]
      }
    },
    basePath: '',
    frameworks: ['jasmine', '@angular-devkit/build-angular'],
    plugins: [
      require('karma-jasmine'),
      require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
      require('karma-jasmine-html-reporter'),
      require('karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter'),
      require('karma-scss-preprocessor'),
      require('@angular-devkit/build-angular/plugins/karma'),
      require('karma-junit-reporter'),
    ],

    client: {
      jasmine: {
        random: false,
        timeoutInterval: 10000
      }
    },

    proxies: {
      '/assets/': 'src/assets/'

    },
    coverageIstanbulReporter: {
      dir: require('path').join(__dirname, '../coverage'),
      reports: ['html', 'lcovonly'],
      fixWebpackSourcePaths: true
    },
    junitReporter: {
      outputDir: '', // results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName.x ml
      outputFile: 'karma-results.xml', // if included, results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName/$outputFile
      suite: '', // suite will become the package name attribute in xml testsuite element
      useBrowserName: false, // add browser name to report and classes names
      nameFormatter: undefined, // function (browser, result) to customize the name attribute in xml testcase element
      classNameFormatter: undefined, // function (browser, result) to customize the classname attribute in xml testcase element
      properties: {}, // key value pair of properties to add to the <properties> section of the report
      xmlVersion: null // use '1' if reporting to be per SonarQube 6.2 XML format
    },
    trxReporter: {
      outputFile: 'test-results.trx',
      shortTestName: false
    },
    reporters: ['junit'],
    port: 9876,
    colors: true,
    logLevel: config.LOG_WARN,
usePolling: false,
    autoWatch: false,
    browsers: ['X'],
    captureTimeout: 6000000,//it was already there
    browserDisconnectTimeout: 1000000,
    browserDisconnectTolerance: 1,
    browserNoActivityTimeout: 6000000,
    singleRun: true
  });
};

The Karma config from the second project is:
// Karma configuration file, see link for more information
// https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/config/configuration-file.html

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    basePath: '',
    frameworks: ['jasmine', '@angular-devkit/build-angular'],
    plugins: [
      require('karma-jasmine'),
      require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
      require('karma-jasmine-html-reporter'),
      require('karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter'),
      require('@angular-devkit/build-angular/plugins/karma')
    ],
    client: {
      clearContext: false // leave Jasmine Spec Runner output visible in browser
    },
    coverageIstanbulReporter: {
      dir: require('path').join(__dirname, '../../coverage'),
      reports: ['html', 'lcovonly'],
      fixWebpackSourcePaths: true
    },

    reporters: ['progress', 'kjhtml'],
    port: 9876,
    colors: true,
    logLevel: config.LOG_DISABLE,
    autoWatch: true,
    browsers: ['ChromeHeadless'],
    captureTimeout: 6000000, // it was already there
    browserDisconnectTimeout: 1000000,
    browserDisconnectTolerance: 1,
    browserNoActivityTimeout: 6000000,
    singleRun: true
  });
};

What i don't get is how the second project knows to output on the same file as the first one and overwrites the content of the main project?
Also the tsconfig.spec.json file :
{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../../out-tsc/spec",
    "types": [
      "jasmine",
      "node"
    ]
  },
  "files": [
    "src/test.ts"
  ],
  "include": [
    "**/*.spec.ts",
    "**/*.d.ts"
  ]
}

I assume that all the spec.ts file are included here (including the 2nd project ones, considering it's path : ClientApp\libs\SecondProject....)
Thanks in advance

A: You need one main karma.conf.js file with the settings and one for every projects. In your case 2 additional karma.conf.js files that extends main karama.conf.js file.
see below example and check property coverageIstanbulReporter to set output folder
karma.conf.js
const { join } = require('path');
const { constants } = require('karma');

module.exports = () => {
    return {
        basePath: '',
        frameworks: ['jasmine', '@angular-devkit/build-angular'],
        plugins: [
            require('karma-jasmine'),
            require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
            require('karma-jasmine-html-reporter'),
            require('karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter'),
            require('@angular-devkit/build-angular/plugins/karma')
        ],
        client: {
            clearContext: false // leave Jasmine Spec Runner output visible in browser
        },
        jasmine: {
            random: false
        },
        coverageIstanbulReporter: {
            dir: join(__dirname, '../../coverage'),
            reports: ['html', 'lcovonly'],
            fixWebpackSourcePaths: true
        },
        reporters: ['progress', 'kjhtml'],
        port: 9876,
        colors: true,
        logLevel: constants.LOG_INFO,
        autoWatch: true,
        browsers: ['ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox'],
        customLaunchers: {
            ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox: {
                base: 'ChromeHeadless',
                executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
                flags: [
                    '--no-sandbox',
                    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
                    '--remote-debugging-port=9222'
                ]
            }
        },
        singleRun: true
    };
};

karma.conf.js for project:
const { join } = require('path');
const getBaseKarmaConfig = require('../../karma.conf');

module.exports = function (config) {
  const baseConfig = getBaseKarmaConfig();
  config.set({
    ...baseConfig,
    coverageIstanbulReporter: {
      ...baseConfig.coverageIstanbulReporter,
      dir: join(__dirname, '../../coverage/apps/project-A'),
    },
  });
};

Q: Choosing the default application does not stay as default after reboot When I'm opening .avi files, I want to open them with VLC Media player, when right clicking the item, I see this:

As you can see QuickTime is the default player, I want to change it to VLC, so I change it:

After changing it, every .avi I open gets opened by VLC, however, when I reboot my Mac, the default goes back to QuickTime... how do I prevent this and keep VLC as the default.

A: I was doing it the wrong way like you try to for a long time and also have retreated to using RCDefaultApp in the past... but there's actually a way to do that natively which works.
Do the following:
1) right click your file
2) choose "Get Info"
3) in the popup find the "Open with" strip (this is by default closed) and open it
4) from the drop down choose the program you want to open that type of file
5) click "Change all..."

And that's the correct way to do it

A: There's a great preference pane RCDefaultApp. It should do what you want.

RCDefaultApp is a Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers (or UTIs; MacOS 10.4 only). MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).

A: For anyone Googling for the same issue: as the venerable RCDefaultApp is now broken under 10.12 and later, there's a open-source equivalent SwiftDefaultApp

This Preference pane is chiefly intended to be a modern replacement for the amazing RCDefaultApp developed way back when by Carl Lindberg, which stopped working in 10.12 due to deprecation of ObjC Garbage collection
...
This Preference pane will let you view and change default application
associations for basically any URI Scheme and/or filetype in macOS.

The UI is practically identical to RCDefaultApps, exception that "Extensions" (i.e. file extensions) is now rolled into "Uniform Type Identifiers", and it can be a little harder to find a specific extension. However, it works beautifully, both as a solution to the issue and as a replacement for RCDefaultApp.

We are delighted to launch a new feature for Cricket Web, a regular selection of the writings of Gulu Ezekiel. Those on the sub-continent in particular will be familiar with Gulu's work. He contributes regular features to Mid-Day, Hindustan Times and New Indian Express. Gulu also appears regularly on the Headlines Today news channel.
In addition to his newspaper and magazine columns Gulu has also authored 14 books including biographies of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni. All told he has contributed to more than 100 different publications on cricketing subjects.
Gulu also writes about other sports and has a special interest in Indian participation in the Olympic Games. His most recent book, Cricket and Beyond, an anthology of writings compiled over thirty years, mirrors his interests. Mainly cricket, but overall an eclectic mix of stories from Indian sport.
We start with Gulu's thoughts about the recent Mumbai Test between India and West Indies.
Cricket is the only sport in which a match can end in three different ways–a win, a draw and a tie.
But what happens when the scores are level and the team batting second has not lost all its wickets?
Unlike in a One-day match (50 overs) where it would be a tie, in first-class cricket (including Tests) the match is considered to have ended in a draw. And in the year which saw the 2,000th Test match played and also the 25th anniversary of only the second tied Test in history, India and West Indies found themselves in exactly that position at the end of a pulsating final day's play in the third Test at Mumbai on Saturday, India losing nine wickets with the scores level.
The only previous such occasion in Test cricket was at the Queen Sports Club at Bulawayo in December 1996 when England needed 13 runs to win off the final over in the first Test against Zimbabwe and managed 12 with six wickets down. Just as R. Ashwin was run out off the last ball on Saturday, England opener Nick Knight (96) too back in 1996 was stranded out of his crease going for what would have been the winning run from the final ball.
That led to the infamous comment by England coach (now TV pundit) David Lloyd: "We flippin' murdered them and they know it."
It made him enemy number one in Zimbabwe for this was the first time the two nations were meeting in a Test match and the home side had been inducted into the rarified club of Test cricket just four years earlier.
Ironically Test cricket is going through a crisis in India with spectators largely ignoring the current series and empty stands at the second Test at Kolkata alarming purists of the game. And here was a match where the result was not known till the final ball was bowled!
It was in 1986 that India and Australia were involved in only the second tied Test at Chennai (then Madras) when last man Maninder Singh was given out lbw to Greg Matthews from the final delivery of the match with the scores level.
The first tie had occurred in 1960 at Brisbane when Australia were all out against the West Indies with the scores tied and just one ball remaining in the match.
Australia's coach at Madras in 1986 was Bob Simpson and in 1960 at Brisbane he had scored 92 in the first innings as opener.
Zimbabwe-born Duncan Fletcher took over as India's coach this year and while he was not a participant in the 1996 Bulawayo Test match, chances are he was a witness to the match back then.
Welcome Gulu. A great edition to CW.

Welcome, Really Great Addition to CW.
Comment by Sanz | 12:00am BST 3 December 2011
Nice to have you on board, Gulu!
Comment by chasingthedon | 12:00am BST 3 December 2011
Welcome aboard Sir.
Comment by gvenkat | 12:00am BST 3 December 2011
I don't always agree with Frith, but he's never less than good value. In particularly trenchant form in Gulu's interview,"The trouble is that some of the people charged with running the game are either unimaginative, too obsessed with making money or just plain stupid in their inability to see the obvious."
I'll hold my hands up and say I was initially anti a review system that the players instigated, but have been persuaded otherwise by the way it's panned out when implemented. I appreciate Frith's reservations about frivalous referrals, but the two per innings does keep these down to reasonable level.

The Lardil people, who prefer to be known as Kunhanaamendaa (meaning people of Kunhanhaa, the traditional name for Mornington Island), are an Aboriginal Australian people and the traditional custodians of Mornington Island in the Wellesley Islands chain in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland.

Language

Lardil, now moribund, belongs to the Tangkic language family. The feature of kinship-sensitive pronominal prefixes had been ignored until they were discovered by Kenneth L. Hale in a study of Lardil. A special second language, Damin thought of as a tongue created by the Yellow Trevally fish ancestor Kaltharr, and devised in part to mimic 'fish talk'  was taught during the second degree of initiation (warama). This initiation register of specialized Lardil has fascinated linguists: it contained in its phonemic repertoire two types of airstream initiation, a pulmonic ingressive (l*) and a labiovelar lingual egressive (p'), unique among the world's languages. The secret language reinscribed in what looks like an indigenous form of semantic analysis the entire Lardil vocabulary into 200 words and has been described by Hale as a 'monument to the human intellect'. Since Damin was a language involving rituals disapproved of by the missionaries, it disappeared with the outlawing and suppression of the Lardil ritual cycles.

Ecology and lifestyle
Rockwall fish traps (derndernim) were constructed off the coast to catch varieties of fish as the tides receded. The Lardil had a meticulous ethnobotanical knowledge and David McKnight has argued that "their botanical taxonomy is of the same intellectual order as our botanical scientific taxonomy".

People raised within the mission, once detached from the hunter and gatherer lifestyle of the traditional community, were considered good workers to recruit for the pastoral stations, where they were employed as drovers and ringers. Once the mission was closed, the elderly once more regained some control. However the Landil people who had spent their mature years on the mainland as farm workers had no traditional background for raising children to draw on. The result was that the generation of children raised from the 1960s onwards had no grasp of either the old or new work technologies and ethics.

Christian mission

With the exception of Sweers Island, all the Wellesley Islands were set aside as an Aboriginal reserve. Generally, once Aboriginal resistance to the take-over of their lands was broken, they were concentrated in reserves and missions. Presbyterian missionaries were granted permission to establish a mission on Mornington Island, and one was duly built in 1914. A mission was established on Mornington Island by the Rev. Robert Hall, his wife and two assistants, Mr and Mrs Owen, and Hall strove to institute economic self-sufficiency for the islanders' economy, having an all-native crew manning the ketch, while organising the harvesting and curing of trepang. Their initial presence, according to one account, was received positively by the Lardil people. Hall was speared and killed in 1917 by a Lardil man, "Burketown Peter/Bad Peter" a respected drover based in Burketown, who ran into trouble, often standing up for his rights, and wanted to kill a cattle station owner with whom he fell out, but was dissuaded from doing so and told by Ganggalida people to return to his home country after refusing to obey local demands that he move back to the mainland.

Dormitory system
Hall was succeeded by the Rev. Wilson, who imposed a dormitory system, segregating children from their elders and thus breaking the chain of tradition through which tribal lore and law was transmitted. The older generations were normally left to their own devices as missionaries concentrated on separating them from their children, and concentrating their efforts on the youngest: aside from religious indoctrination, sexual and marriage customs were challenged, and subject to control. Few of the Lardil girls brought up in the dormitory married according to the traditional kinship rules, given that the mission head played an influential role as intermediary. The dormitory system was discontinued in 1954.

Self-government
The population of the island is no longer exclusively Lardil, after several tribal groups, among them the Kaiadilt, were relocated by missionaries from Bentinck Island.

The Mornington Island Mission was substituted by a community administration in 1978. The Shire council in the 1970s introduced a beer canteen, government developmental funds were seen as allowing one to dispense with the necessity to work, and, as alcoholism spread, the Mornington Island peoples began to rank among the communities with the highest rate of suicide in Australia. Interpersonal violence was common, including domestic violence; a few young white women have formed relationships with island youths and moved to the island, to find that their boyfriend's behaviour changed and their anticipated idyll close to nature did not materialize. "They usually departed after their first "proper good hiding" and invariably by the second".

Mornington Island, with its schools, churches, libraries and hospitals, is often presented as a model community to outsiders. However, by 2003 its society and its people had been devastated by alcohol. In the early 2000s the community was declared "dry" and importation of alcohol was forbidden. By 2021 dangerous amounts of strong home-brewed alcoholic drink and of "sly grog" (smuggled alcoholic drink) were being consumed, and petrol sniffing was common. Diets were poor, consisting mainly of imported heavily-processed foods; Save the Children were trying to combat malnutrition among children, and among adults diabetes and renal failure were common. Average life expectancy was 53, twenty years shorter than Australians generally. A local councillor said that "Prohibition on Mornington Island has become part of the problem instead of the solution" and the council was considering reopening a tavern.

Alternative names
 Kunhanaamendaa, as the people themselves prefer to be called, meaning the people of Kunhanhaa; they refer to the language only as Lardil.

According to Tindale:
 Lardi:i (typo)
 Laierdila
 Ladil
 Kunana (name for Mornington Island)
 Kuna'na
 Gunana
 Mornington Island tribe

Gallagher Premiership – Round 14 Match Previews Including Exeter Chiefs v Newcastle Falcons
What an exciting time is install for Rugby fans this weekend not just with the Gallagher Premiership, in full flow with round 14, but round three of the Six Nations to boot.
Round 13 was one of the most exciting rounds to date, with all six features featuring scores of over 40, can round 14 improve on that? With nine rounds of the Gallagher Premiership to go, we are reaching the business end of the season with all 12 clubs still having plenty to play for whether the be at the top or bottom of the table. There is much speculation as to who will finish the weekend on top of the league, currently, Saracens and Exeter Chiefs are tying on 52 points apiece. Saracens are currently on top due to faring better in points difference by just 4 points. This all came about after a shock defeat for Exeter in Round 13 seeing them top spot.
The weekend action starts Friday night at Kingsholm as Gloucester face the reigning champions, Saracens, and will draw to a close on Sunday with the Midlands derby when the Worcester Warriors take on Leicester Tigers at Sixways.
Gloucester Rugby v Saracens, Friday 22nd February, Kick-off @ 7:45 pm
Gloucester, as a team are feeling top of the world at the moment in time, after beating table-toppers Exeter Chiefs last week, following a late try. Will they be able to carry the momentum of that win into the match against the Saracens?. Can they repeat their success of last week and maybe knock the Saracens off the top spot as they did with the Chiefs? Saracens, meanwhile are on a winning streak, having won their previous 5 matches whilst Gloucester's win against The Chiefs ended a 5 match losing streak. It will be interesting to see if Saracen's can keep their streak going or if Gloucester are beginning a streak of their own.
Both sides have made two changes to their winning teams of last week. Gloucester are swapping Tom Savage for Ed Slater, while Jaco Kriel has been named as open-side flanker. Saracens will see a return of Mark Rhodes and Schalk Burger.
Harlequins v Bristol Bears, Saturday 23rd February, Kick-off @ 2 pm
The Harlequins are favourites for their fixture against the Bristol Bears after their stunning defeat of Worcester last week. Currently, Harlequins are on top form, with a three-match winning streak. They have never made it to a four-match streak, but could this all end after their match against the Bristol Bears?
The Bears, meanwhile have only won 4 times in the Premiership this season and have not yet won an away match. Indeed, they are the only team not to win an away game in the whole of the Premiership this season
Exeter Chiefs v Newcastle Falcons, Saturday 23rd February, Kick-off @ 2:30 pm
Unfamiliar times are occurring for the Chiefs as they have now lost three of the last five Premiership fixtures including the loss to their top four rivals, Gloucester, last time out.
Exeter have Tomas Francis (Wales), Harry Williams, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ben Moon, Henry Slade and Jack Nowell (England) all unavailable for team selection due to the Six Nations.
The Omens are good for the Chiefs as they have not lost two successive games in the premiership for over twelve months and also the fact of only one defeat at Sandy Park since last February, a win will be expected.
Newcastle need points as they are at the foot of the table and the last place you would wish to visit is Sandy Park even more so when you are on a run of four consecutive losses.
Mark Wilson (England) and Gary Graham (Scotland) are both on International duty so are unavailable for team selection.
The Falcons have only two away wins all season, the last being on the 1st December, so it would be mighty impressive if they can overcome a chiefs side sitting at the opposite end of the table, even if weakened by six first teamers being on international duty.
Worcester Warriors v Leicester Tigers, Sunday 24th February, Kick-off @ 1 pm
The Warriors will be hoping for another home win to bolster their relegation fight against a Tigers side with only one away win this season which was way back in October at Twickenham Stadium in round six against Northampton Saints.
Worcester Warriors will be buoyed by the release of their international fly-half, Duncan Weir, by Scotland, however, Ben Te'o may not feature this weekend as he was not released by England until Thursday. Josh Adams has been named in Wales starting fifteen to face England in Six Nations clash on Saturday. GJ van Velze, Jonny Arr, Perry Humphreys and Dean Hammond are unavailable for team selection due to injuries.
With only one win in their last five Premiership games, Worcester are in need of points in their fight for survival, with a bonus point being the bare minimum fans will expect against an ill travelling Tigers side.
A break from the norm, Worcester Warriors will stray away from their traditional blue matchday shirt in support of their annual charity Acorns by wearing specially commissioned matchday shirts in magenta, cyan and green graphical design.
Leicester Tigers travel to Sixways having won just two of their last seven Premiership Rugby fixtures, which were both at home in 10 and 12.
The Tigers will be without Ben Youngs, Manu Tuilagi, Jonny May, Ellis Genge and George Ford who all away with England for the Wales clash.
Despite the Tigers poor form and loss of key players, they will not be put off by this away trip as they have won on their last ten visits to Sixways and that the last five games between these two sides have all gone in favour of the away side.
Remaining fixtures from round 14 of the Gallagher Premiership 2018/2019
Saturday 23rd February, Kick-off @ 2 pm (Unless Stated)

You are here: Home / India / Year of the tiger
The terrible thing about tigers
Saving tiger habitat is key
The tiger is the iconic symbol if India
This year, 2010, is the year of the tiger according to Chinese astrology — and according to the World Wildlife Fund. But though the year is over, the crisis facing the tiger is not. A hundred years ago there were 100,000 tigers in the wild. It is now estimated that, worldwide, there are only about 3,200 tigers left in the wild, putting tigers in danger of extinction.
As India has about 60% of the world's tiger population, the tiger crisis in India is particularly tragic. For many people, the image of the tiger – orange-and-black stripes flashing as it prowls with power and stealth through dense jungle foliage – is the symbol of India. Anyone who has visited India recently cannot help but be moved by the billboards that bear a photo of this magnificent creature against a black background and the words: "Only 1,411 left."
Photo courest Ananda Banerjee
Many people and organizations are trying to ring the alarm bell before it's too late. The WWF's Tx2 campaign is hoping to double the wild tiger population by the next Year of the Tiger in 2022. You can read more about the various strategies involved in this campaign on the site What WWF is doing for tigers.
In the latest news about the crisis facing the Indian tiger, Leonardo DiCaprio has joined the fight as a spokesman for WWF. DiCaprio made headlines around the world when he arrived at the World Tiger Summit in Russia in November 2010 and donated $1 million to the cause. He will be in India in the coming months for the WWF Save Tigers Now campaign. The actor hopes to help raise more than $20 million to double the worldwide tiger population by 2022.
But it's more than just tigers these organizations are trying to save — it's also habitat. The National Tiger Conservation Authority of India (formerly known as Project Tiger) has done a lot to protect tiger habitat in India, and to try halt the many forces edging the tiger closer to extinction, such as poaching. It was founded in 1973 with a mandate to create nine tiger reserves in India. The NTCA is now custodian of 27 tiger reserves. However, in spite of their efforts, the tiger population in India has dropped by about 60% on the last decade. To read more about the plight of tigers in India, download Stripes, the magazine of the NTCA : STRIPES Mar-Apr-2010

It's ironic that the world's first tiger conservationist, tiger hunter-turned-protector Jim Corbett hailed from India – and started sounding an alarm as far back as the 1930s. The Corbett Tiger Reserve, India's best-known tiger park, is named after him.
It's also ironic that today, as greater numbers of people than ever are flocking to see tigers, the tiger population is declining. Recently, the government of India has announced it will restrict tiger tourism in India in a bid to halt the extinction of the nation's iconic symbol and national animal.
But if people stop traveling to tiger country, appreciation for this animal, and awareness of the crisis, may dwindle. Save Tigers Now actually encourages people to visit tiger reserves: "Income from tourism at tiger reserves can be critical to building support among local communities for tiger protection. There is never a guarantee that travelers will see a tiger in the wild, but among the best places to try are India and Nepal's tiger reserves and national parks. Look for tour operators who focus on nature travel, take travelers in small groups with expert local guides and are authorized by the park service of the country."
You can help prevent the extinction of the tiger by spreading awareness; by not buying tiger-related products or products that put tiger habitats at risk; by joining the End Tiger Trade Facebook page and by donating to the Save Tigers Now campaign by visiting the site's Take Action page.

World Wildlife Fund suggests a number of ways that you can get involved, such as volunteering with WWF-India, by donating to their campaign, sending e-cards and by adopting a tiger. Learn all about how you can get involved by visiting the WWF What you can do for tigers page.
National Geographic recently aired Big Cat Week on television and they have set up a donation page for their Big Cats Initiative "a comprehensive program that supports on-the-ground conservation projects, education, and economic incentive efforts and a global public-awareness campaign."
I am hoping to travel to Corbett, Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Ranthambore parks this winter when I am in India and blog about the impact of tiger tourism, the political situation around tiger conservationism (tigers don't vote!) and the challenges and paradoxes of protecting tigers in a country with barely enough resources – or land – to nourish its 1.2 billion citizens. Please let me know if you can help this blogging awareness project in any way.
This is a story that needs telling now, while there's still a chance to save one of the world's most admired animals before it becomes merely a symbol of a bygone era.

Providing holistic treatment established in evidence-based treatment services.
Dr Adeline Lee is a Clinical Psychologist and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) Yoga Alliance® who provides secular general yoga for wellness to more specialized mindful movement yoga and trauma informed yoga to individuals, private small groups or in closed group settings.
If you have tried sitting mindfulness meditations and have found that challenging, instead of giving up, Adeline encourages you to try her mindful movement yoga sessions. You can choose between individual or private group sessions or the closed trauma informed group sessions that she offers. Connect with Adeline today on (03) 9079 7936 or email her at contact@dradelinelee.com to discuss a tailored holistic treatment established in evidence-based practice that suits your needs.
Yoga is a multidimensional system that is not just about stretching and strengthening through poses. It consists of breathing exercises, meditation and ethical practices. Yoga is a way of life accessible to all. Adeline is passionate about the mind-body connection and sees her practice of psychology and yoga to be very much interconnected. Her practice promotes mindfulness through awareness of breath, body, and senses to assist and empower you to gain insight through self-observation, self-reflection, acknowledgement and understanding with self-compassion, to then move emotions and thoughts into stillness if this is your choosing.
Adeline has been using mindful movement and trauma informed yoga in conjunction with clinical psychology therapies, especially Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist people with developmental trauma, personal trauma, anxiety, depression and general life issues. Research has showed the effectiveness of EMDR and yoga in assisting people to gain a sense of physical safety, insight and self-awareness and assist in recovery from traumatic experiences.
The individual sessions will give you a one-to-one opportunity to discuss your specific needs with Adeline for her to provide you with the most tailored approach. For example, you may want to learn the foundations of keeping your body safe when doing yoga postures or to develop your own yoga self-practice for your body and concerns, or maybe you want to discuss your physical alignment in yoga postures.
For others, you may want one-to-one mindful movement yoga sessions or trauma informed yoga sessions and to have the comfort of knowing that Adeline is a clinical psychologist with extensive training in treating trauma and other mental health conditions to ensure psychological safety, sensitive care and clinically appropriate boundaries are adhered to during the sessions.
Adeline also runs a mindful movement / trauma informed yoga six weeks closed group program.

Participants will need to commit to attending all six sessions. If you have a valid referral from a general practitioner or a psychiatrist, you will be able to claim a rebate from Medicare provided there are a minimum of six participants.
You will need to complete an intake form and Adeline will speak with you personally to ensure the group program is appropriate for your needs. It is preferable that you have a treating psychologist or mental health worker as the mindful movement / trauma informed yoga group is not a group to discuss trauma.
Adeline helps people across south-east Melbourne from Malvern to Hampton receive the support they need to start living the life they value. Her Yoga for Wellness, Mindful Movement Yoga and Trauma Informed Yoga sessions are competitively priced. Start your yoga journey today by calling Adeline on (03) 9079 7936 or a message through her contact form or via email at contact@dradelinelee.com.

A single oil spill could kill half the Southern Resident Killer Whale population. (Black Press Media)
Salmon fishing closures won't save the whales, say critics
Federal government accused of going after salmon fishery as 'low hanging fruit'
Connie and Peter Hovey, the owners of the Trailhead Resort in Port Renfrew, are criticizing the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' approach to saving the southern resident killer whales.
In an open letter, the pair say the DFO's plan is inefficient and not based on science.
In their letter, the couple said the DFO's intention to limit salmon fishing in the region will impact tourism and the $1.1-billion recreational fishing industry and will threaten up to 9,000 jobs that rely on the industry.
These actions ignore that salmon fishing is not the main threat to the southern resident killer whale populations, the Hoveys write.
RELATED: Regulations impact local economy
"We (recreational fishers) are taking one per cent of the chinook salmon stock. That's not the problem. The real problem is these whales are swimming in waters full of human waste," said Peter Hovey.
"It's all the drugs going down the drain, the human waste, toxic runoff from agricultural operations, and everything else we're putting into the water. Between that and the inbreeding that we caused, it's no wonder their numbers are in decline."
Hovey noted that even though the southern resident killer whales only spend their summer months in our waters and the rest of the time along the coast of Washington to California, they are now spending less time in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and his belief is that this is due to contaminants in local waters.
Based upon the peer reviewed research of Misty MacDuffee and Paul C. Paquet, scientists working with the Raincoat Foundation, it actually is unlikely that increasing the salmon stocks alone will save the southern resident killer whales.
RELATED: Drones used to study whales
In their paper Evaluating anthropogenic threats to endangered killer whales to inform effective recovery plans, the researchers write the following:
"Prey limitation is the most important factor affecting population growth. However, to meet recovery targets through prey management alone, chinook abundance would have to be sustained near the highest levels since the 1970s."
And while their paper outlines the importance of increasing the stocks of prey species (chinook salmon), it seems to agree, at least in part, with Hovey's contention that a more wide ranging approach to saving the southern resident killer whale population is required.
"The current small size of the SRKW population was not caused by lack of salmon. The whales' depleted status is due in large part to the legacy of an unsustainable live-capture fishery for display in aquariums," said the paper.
During the 1960s and 1970s, before the practice was outlawed, 47 southern resident killer whales were hunted, captured and sold to aquariums. It's estimated that nearly 20 others died during unsuccessful attempts to capture the whales.
That situation left a depleted population where inbreeding has occurred, possibly leading to a lower rate of reproduction and survival of the young.
"These animals were slaughtered by our father and by our grandfathers. We have to work to bring them back, but stopping the salmon fishery isn't the answer. Not on its own," Hovey said.
Another factor identified by McDuffy and Paquet in the threat to the southern resident killer whales is noise pollution.
The whales emit high-frequency (18-32 kHz) echolocation clicks to detect prey and the background noise from commercial shipping and even smaller outboard vessels can interfere with foraging and harm the population.
The same is true of the introduction of contaminants into the water, listed by McDuffy and Paquet as the third main stressor to the whales.
"If additional threats from proposed and approved shipping developments (such as catastrophic and chronic oil spills, ship strikes, and increased vessel noise) combine with the predicted decline of chinook due to climate change, then the population could decline by as much as 1.7 per cent annually, have a 70 per cent probability of declining to fewer than 30 animals, and have a 25 per cent chance of complete extirpation within 100 years," said the paper.
And if a catastrophic event such as an oil spill were to occur, McDuffy and Paquet's outlook is even more bleak.
"Based on the percent overlap of oil coverage and critical habitat, we estimate that if a large oil spill were to occur, about 50 per cent of the SRKWs would be killed due to direct exposure to the oil. We estimate that 12.5 per cent of the SRKWs would be killed by exposure to oil from a smaller spill," they said.
The outlook and the DFO's approach to the situation is enough to move Peter Hovey to tears.
"I've watched these animals my whole life, and I care deeply about them. Right now the government is going after recreational fishing as the low hanging fruit, but it's not an approach that is going to save the whales," Hovey said.
"It's time that they take the situation seriously and develop a plan that actually deals with the threat to the whales."

Ten great dive sites
camera_alt Gallery Updated 12 November 2012
Rough Guides Editors @roughguides
Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa
Almost every year around June, enormous shoals of sardines, millions strong and kilometres long, swim up the South African coast towards Mozambique. Among the best places in the country to witness the Sardine Run is KwaZulu-Natal's south coast, along which lies the scuba-diving town of Umkomaas.

Tubbataha Reef, Philippines
Well out of sight of land and almost 200km southeast of Puerto Princesa in Palawan, this World Heritage Site is only accessible on live-aboard boats when seas are favourable between March and June. Its very isolation means it's not overrun by package-tour divers. For a real buzz, dive deep over one of the many coral walls that seem to plunge into infinity.

Bloody Bay Wall, Cayman Islands
Bloody Bay Wall is over 3km long and dotted with coral arches, chimneys and sand chutes. Giant barrel sponges as tall as a man cling to the wall, while barracuda, Nassau groupers and turtles patrol the wall. The waters around Little Cayman are among the clearest in the Caribbean, let alone the world, and floating over the drop-off is a unique experience
© a. v. ley/Shutterstock
The Gulf of Aqaba, Jordan
Tucked between the arid lands of northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea is one of the world's premier diving destinations, and leading off from its northern tip the Gulf of Aqaba boasts some of its best and least-damaged stretches of coral. The water here is nearly always warm and the reefs exquisite.
Palancar Reef, Mexico
Teeming with marine life, Palancar is just one small part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which stretches from Mexico to Honduras, but it is in a prime position to flourish. Lobsters pick their way delicately along outcrops, feelers are blown by the current, while blue-green parrotfish gnaw at the coral with their beaky mouths.
The brilliantly turquoise waters here hold over two thousand species of fish, including serpent-like moray eels, bulbous napoleon wrasse and huge, elegant manta rays. With visibility of up to 40m, diving in this remote archipelago, 700km southwest of Sri Lanka, is understandably big business, and established dive centres at most resorts offer reef and drift diving, as well as the opportunity to dive at night.
Sipadan, Malaysia
Famous for its large resident population of green and hawksbill turtles as well as healthy numbers of reef sharks and magnificent coral, Sipadan is Malaysia's only oceanic island. Sitting in the Sulu Sea off the northeastern coast of Borneo, it's also a great base for exploring the nearby shoals of Kapalai and the island of Mabul.
Pacific Harbour, Fiji
Just off the south coast of Viti Levu is a stretch of water that offers the world's ultimate shark diving experience – the chance to encounter up to eight species of the ocean's top predators with no cage or chainmail to protect you. It's a great way to learn about these much-maligned creatures.
White Sea, Karelia, Russia
Russia's far north is a landscape of wonder and wandering once the colder months settle in and the unforgiving landscape freezes over, and ice diving in the White Sea is probably the most memorable time you'll ever spend under water. Connected to the world above via a single safety rope, use your underwater torch to follow your guide down past ice hummocks, rifts, cavities and caves, minnowing under tall arches and vertical rocks overgrown with sea anemones and sponges.
Poor Knights Island, New Zealand
Jacques Cousteau championed the Poor Knights Islands as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Dive boats spread themselves over fifty recognized dive sites that jointly cover New Zealand's most diverse range of sea life, including subtropical species such as Lord Howe coralfish and toadstool grouper. Near-vertical rock faces drop 100m through a labyrinth of caves, fissures and rock arches teeming with rainbow-coloured fish, crabs, soft corals, kelp forests and shellfish.

1. Always give the audience something to take home.
Naturally, you'll want to rehearse your presentation multiple times. While it can be difficult for those with packed schedules to spare time to practice, it's essential if you want to deliver a rousing presentation. I'm famous around the office for staying up late the night before a big presentation, practicing over and over. If you really want to sound great, write out your speech rather than taking chances winging it – if you get nervous about speaking, a script is your best friend.
Try to practice where you'll be delivering your talk. Some acting strategists suggest rehearsing lines in various positions – standing up, sitting down, with arms open wide, on one leg, while sitting on the toilet, etc. (OK, that last one may be optional.) The more you mix up your position and setting, the more comfortable you'll feel with your speech. Do a practice run for a friend or colleague, or try recording your presentation and playing it back to evaluate which areas need work. Listening to recordings of your past talks can clue you in to bad habits you may be unaware of, as well as inspiring the age-old question: "Is that what I really sound like?"
3. Transform Nervous Energy Into Enthusiasm.
It may sound strange, but I'll often down an energy drink and blast hip-hop music in my earphones before presenting. Why? It pumps me up and helps me turn jitters into focused enthusiasm. Studies have shown that an enthusiastic speech can win out over an eloquent one, and since I'm not exactly the Winston Churchill of presenters, I make sure that I'm as enthusiastic and energetic as possible before going on stage. Of course, individuals respond differently to caffeine overload, so know your own body before guzzling those monster energy drinks.
If you're giving a talk as part of a conference, try to attend some of the earlier talks by other presenters to scope out their presentation skills and get some context. This shows respect for your fellow presenters while also giving you a chance to feel out the audience. What's the mood of the crowd? Are folks in the mood to laugh or are they a bit more stiff? Are the presentations more strategic or tactical in nature? Another speaker may also say something that you can play off of later in your own presentation.
5. Adjust to Your Surroundings.
The more adjusted to your environment you are, the more comfortable you'll feel. Make sure to spend some in the room where you will be delivering your presentation. If possible, practice with the microphone and lighting, make sure you understand the seating and be aware of any distractions potentially posed by the venue (e.g., a noisy road outside).
Whether or not you're a Zen master, know that plenty of studies have proven the effectiveness of positive visualization. When we imagine a positive outcome to a scenario in our mind, it's more likely to play out the way we envision.
Instead of thinking "I'm going to be terrible out there" and visualizing yourself throwing up mid-presentation, imagine yourself getting tons of laughs while presenting with the enthusiasm of Jimmy Fallon and the poise of Audrey Hepburn (the charm of George Clooney wouldn't hurt either). Positive thoughts can be incredibly effective – give them a shot.
7. Remember That Most Audiences Are Sympathetic.
One of the hardest fears to shake when speaking in public is that the audience is secretly waiting to laugh at your missteps or mistakes. Fortunately, this isn't the case in the vast majority of presentations.
8. Work on Your Pauses.
When you're nervous, it's easy to speed up your presentation and end up talking too fast, which in turn causes you to run out of breath, get more nervous, and panic! Ahh!
9. Don't Try to Cover Too Much Material.
Yes, your presentations should be full of useful, insightful, and actionable information, but that doesn't mean you should try to condense a vast and complex topic into a 10-minute presentation.
Knowing what to include, and what to leave out, is crucial to the success of a good presentation. I'm not suggesting you skimp when it comes to data or including useful slides (some of my webinars have featured 80+ slides), but I am advocating for a rigorous editing process. If it feels too off-topic, or is only marginally relevant to your main points, leave it out. You can always use the excess material in another presentation.
10. Actively Engage the Audience.
People love to talk and make their opinions heard, but the nature of presentations can often seem like a one-sided proposition. It doesn't have to be, though.
Hopefully this man has a question, and doesn't just need to go to the bathroom.
Even if your presentation is packed with useful information, if your delivery bombs, so will your session.
12. Admit You Don't Have All the Answers.
Very few presenters are willing to publicly concede that they don't actually know everything because they feel it undermines their authority. However, since we all know that nobody can ever know everything about a given topic, admitting so in a presentation can actually improve your credibility.


Starting tomorrow, Hawai'i drivers who buy cars out of state will have to prove they've paid a 4 percent tax before being allowed to register them here.
Hawai'i buyers have always had to pay the tax on automobiles purchased here. Those who bought a car in a state with a tax less than 4 percent, or where the tax is waived for out-of-state buyers, also were required to pay the tax here. But there was nothing in the law to penalize them if they didn't.
Now, under a law approved this year by the Legislature, out-of-state buyers won't be allowed to put the cars on the road legally without proof they paid the tax.
The new law, passed at the urging of the Hawai'i Automobile Dealers Association, is supposed to be an equalizer of sorts, to make sure local auto dealers aren't at a competitive disadvantage with out-of-state purchases.
Oregon and California are among the states where Hawai'i shoppers traditionally have gone to get good deals on automobiles and bring them home without paying the extra tax.
The auto dealers estimate that about 1,000 cars a year are brought into the state after being bought elsewhere. Last year, out-of-state buyers paid the tax on only 224 vehicles, resulting in collections of about $121,000.
With the average cost of a new automobile about $25,000 this year, the state could have missed out on almost $1 million a year in uncollected taxes, according to Dave Rolf, a spokesman for the dealers.
The new law applies to cars up to 5 years old.
A sliding scale reduces the tax year by year for used autos, but you practically need to be a CPA to understand all the ins and outs of it. The cost of the car, freight charges, insurance, customs duty and depreciation are among the factors that figure into the computation.
Nonresident owners who certify they bought the car at least three months before bringing it to Hawai'i as part of their household goods will not have to pay the tax.
Exemptions also are made for those who receive a car as a gift or bought it from a private seller.
The big change will come at county motor vehicle departments, where the vehicles have to be registered. County officials say they'll ask buyers of out-of-state cars to show proof they've paid the tax. Otherwise, the car won't be registered.

The summit area was obscured by rain and clouds on many days in January and February. During clear days (4-5, 8-16, 18-21, and 25 January; 1-9 and 13-17 February), Crater 2 released weak to moderate emissions of white and white-gray vapor. Occasional ash-laden gray-brown and forceful dark gray emissions were produced on 10 and 14 January, respectively. The forceful emissions on the 14th were accompanied by low roaring noises. On 18 January a large explosion produced a thick dark ash column that penetrated the atmospheric clouds over the summit area. Occasional white-gray and gray-brown ash-laden emissions were observed on 1-6 February. On 3 and 4 February the same vent forcefully ejected dark gray ash clouds. Night glow was observed at Crater 2 on 14 and 15 January; some of the glow on the 15th changed into weak incandescent lava projections. Variable weak to bright red glow was observed at night on 3-6 and 14 February. On 3 February the glow fluctuated. Low rumbling noises were only heard on 6 February. Crater 3 released thin white vapor gently on 9-10, 12-13, and 19 January, and during 3-4, 6-9, 14, and 16 February. No emissions were observed on other clear days. There was no seismic recording.

Rachel Lindsay Calls for 'Bachelor' Casting Changes After Contestant James Taylor's Capitol Tweets
By Johnni Macke
Rachel Lindsay claimed that The Bachelor had casting problems after former contestant James Taylor attended the march on the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to protest President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election.
Rachel Lindsay's Most Critical Quotes About the 'Bachelor' Franchise
The former Bachelorette, 35, called for Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss to make a change after he tweeted about Taylor's involvement in the demonstration earlier this month.
"Whoever that former cast member/idiot jerkoff is that went to Trump's treasonous rally, got a message for ya … You are officially exiled from #BachelorNation!!!" Fleiss, 56, wrote on Wednesday, January 13. After learning the name of the former cast member, he added, "Shame on you."

Lindsay retweeted Fleiss' message, writing, "Reason #4853569536 we have to do better with casting."
Two days prior, Taylor, 33, tweeted about the Capitol rally, claiming he had the support of ABC and Bachelor Nation.
"Big thanks to #TheBachelor family for supporting me during this time … from top to bottom," he tweeted on Monday, January 11. "Conservative producers are the best!!"
Every Time 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Contestants Called Out Producers
Taylor, who competed for JoJo Fletcher's heart on season 12 of The Bachelorette, added: "Thank you @ABCNetwork @ABC & @BachelorABC for having my back while I legally supported our President."
A source, however, told Us Weekly that Taylor's claims of support from the network are "unequivocally false."
Before mentioning the demonstration, Taylor, who recently spoke about wanting to run for political office someday, was vocal about his plans to march and encouraged others to show up.
Lindsay, for her part, spoke out about Bachelor Nation's continued issues of diversity and casting in June 2020, revealing she won't continue to work with the franchise if something isn't done.
"I have to see some type of change. It's ridiculous. It's embarrassing," the Texas native said during an episode of AfterBuzz TV's Bachelor A.M. With Kelsey Meyer at the time. "At this point, it's embarrassing to be affiliated with it."

The "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast cohost pointed out that in 40 seasons of the show, she was the only Black lead. Later that month, Matt James was named as the first Black Bachelor ahead of season 25.
"I don't know how you are a part of The Bachelor franchise and you're watching what's happening in our country right now and you don't self-reflect that you've been part of the problem," she stated following the Black Lives Matter protests. "You continue to perpetuate this type of behavior when you're putting out something that is very white-washed and doesn't have any type of color in it and you're not trying to be effective and change that."

From the beginning of Petit Biscuit's latest music video, "Beam," viewers can see the artist's intent to fuse human sentiments with the endless beauty of the natural world. The 17-year-old French DJ created a song that aims to transcend typical electronic music by touching on a peaceful, expansive sound that builds over the course of the track. The music inspires an uplifting quality in its listener, which is enhanced by the beautiful aesthetics included in the video.
The visual opens on frost-toned, multi-colored peaks and valleys as far as one can see, interspersed with stunning frames of soft sunrises or sunsets, purple-twinged clouds, red fiery sparks reflecting off of blue-green air, and tall grasses swaying peacefully in the wind. A human silhouette travels across the ridiculously beautiful landscapes, standing on mountain summits and basking in the colorful light. The silhouette doesn't stop until it reaches a huge rock formation in the shape of a human sprawled out on the ground. After jumping into the figure, the rock formation releases yellow lanterns into the purple sky like a volcano, after which point the rock formation lights up and begins to move around—its head glowing exceedingly bright.
Shortly after, the huge rock figure morphs into a larger version of the silhouette from earlier in the video, its small version nested in a partially open crevice in the silhouette's face. With a backdrop of the night sky twinged with what appears to be the Northern Lights, the figure stands triumphant as the song's final note rings out. The beauty of the video stems from its simplicity, as it doesn't rely on overdone stories to propel the visual. Instead, it presents viewers with a relatively neutral stimulus, and lets the effect of the music paired with the beautiful images speak for themselves. The meditative quality of the video allows it to meander seamlessly throughout the song, which is a profound asset to both the song and its video.

Ambassador of Finland to discuss 'War in Ukraine, NATO and the Future of Europe' Nov. 9
The Ambassador of the Republic of Finland to the United States H.E. Mikko Hautala and former U.S. State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus will discuss "War in Ukraine, NATO and the Future of Europe" at Vanderbilt University on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The conversation will be from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Vanderbilt Central Library fourth-floor Community Room. The event is open to the public.
As the university focuses on expanding its global presence through research, dialogue and relationship-building ahead of its Sesquicentennial celebration in 2023 and beyond, the Nov. 9 event is an opportunity for the Vanderbilt community to hear firsthand from experts on issues currently impacting our world. Hautala and Ortagus will discuss themes of international politics, the war in Ukraine, the Finnish-Russian border and European security integration. The event will include a question-and-answer session with the speakers.
A career diplomat, Hautala was appointed ambassador of Finland to the United States in September 2020. From 2016 to 2020, he served as ambassador of Finland to Russia. In August 2020 Hautala was awarded the Ambassador Prize by the Confederation of Finnish Industries for his work promoting the interests of Finnish companies in Russia. During his career, he has received several civil and military decorations both nationally and internationally.
Ortagus served as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State from 2019 to 2021. She previously held government positions as a deputy attaché and intelligence analyst at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and as a public affairs officer at the United States Agency for International Development. Ortagus was a national security contributor at Fox News prior to her appointment as State Department spokesperson. She is an officer in the United States Navy Reserve.
The event is being sponsored by the Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries and the Max Kade Center for European and German Studies at Vanderbilt.

One of our most recent and we think most wonderful bathroom renovations we've done was in a Scarsdale, Westchester County home.

We began this Scarsdale bathroom remodel with a complete gutting of the previous bathroom. We installed sheetrock and finished with paint and trim. We laid the new tile flooring which we love for its subtle hint of wood grain.
The bathtub area is truly the pinnacle of relaxation with its marble tub deck and surround, jacuzzi tub and extraordinary skylight. Of course, we designed the shower to match with marble tiles, a rain shower head and seamless glass. The custom vanity ties the entire room together with the rich, dark wood and the bright marble countertop.


Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today said it will raise its quarterly cash dividend 31 percent. The new quarterly dividend will be $0.17 per share of common stock, resulting in annual dividend payments of $0.68 per common share. The current quarterly dividend is $0.13 per share.
The increase reflects the strategic shift of TI's product portfolio to a greater percentage of analog and embedded processing technologies, which generate high returns on investment and strong cash flow.
"This dividend increase reflects the strength of our strategy, our confidence in our future, and our commitment to shareholders," said Rich Templeton, TI chairman, president and chief executive officer.
The new quarterly cash dividend will be payable November 21, 2011, to stockholders of record on October 31, 2011, contingent upon formal declaration by the Board of Directors at its regular meeting in October.
This is the eighth consecutive year TI has increased its dividend. The company has paid dividends to its shareholders on an uninterrupted basis since June 1, 1962.

Sydney set to suck more water from thirsty Shoalhaven River as Minister suspends transfer rules
NSW Water Minister, Nationals MP Melinda Pavey has suspended existing rules for transfers from the Shoalhaven River to Sydney, using powers reserved for severe water shortages, to allow additional water transfers from the Shoalhaven.
Under agreed water sharing plans limited transfers have been allowed once Sydney dam levels fall below 75% and can only take the top 1 metre of water from the Tallowa Dam to ensure supplies for the Shoalhaven households and businesses and the Shoalhaven River.
The suspension comes as Sydney's Dams fell below 50% in August but additional transfers are only allowed under the Sydney Metropolitan Water Plan 2017 once dams fall below 30% [1].
The suspension was made despite Sydney being on only the lowest level 1 water restrictions and the Sydney desalination plant having only just reached full capacity.
Independent MLC and Shoalhaven resident Justin Field said, "The Water Minister has to explain why additional transfers have been allowed early and how the needs of the Shoalhaven community and river are going to be ensured.
"Since September 2018 more than 33 billion litres [2] have been transferred from the Shoalhaven by Water NSW. That's the equivalent of 13,000 Olympic swimming pools of water.
"I'm calling for a review of the transfer agreements to ensure the Shoalhaven has the water it needs for households, businesses and a healthy Shoalhaven River.
"Downstream water users and in particular the oyster industry rely on regular freshwater flows to ensure a healthy river.
"It's clear that the NSW Government would rather transfer more water from the Shoalhaven than tighten water restrictions in Sydney. Sydney has a poor track record of water efficiency and recycling and the Shoalhaven is paying for the city's water management failures.
"The Coalition Government is failing on water. The $2.5 billion the NSW Government has ripped out of Sydney Water as dividends, should be redirected to water efficiency and recycling programs to reduce Sydney's water demand and that should come before more water is extracted from the Shoalhaven," Justin Field said.

Q: Calculate arithmetic calculation on floating numbers in shell scripting I have created 5 arrays which contains only floating numbers (contains positive and negative numbers).
Following are the arrays which are declared:

*

*assets

*reported

*debit

*credit

*affiliate

*loans

I need to perform below formula on the arrays but it's not working.
Is there any other approach?
for((i =1 ; i <(#$assets[@]}; i++));do
echo ${assets[i]} - ( ${reported[i]} + ( ${affiliate[i]} * -1 ) + ${loans[i]} + (${credit[i]} - ${debit[i]})) | bc >> test.log

A: First thing: bash variables cannot be treated directly as floating point values. Numeric bash values are only integers.
You can use another tool to perform the floating point calculation.
i.e. you can use "bc" like you did in your snippet of code.
Your problem is most likely with the parenthesis that are interpreted by bash and not sent to "bc". You have got to build your calculation first as a string before passing it to bc.
I'd write it like this:
echo "${assets[i]} - ( ${reported[i]} + ( ${affiliate[i]} * -1 ) + ${loans[i]} + ( ${credit[i]} - ${debit[i]} ))" | bc
