The Inca people from the area now known as the country of Peru were skilled craftsmen who made jewelry, masks, pottery and the like.
Archaeologists have uncovered examples of their work, which have offered glimpses into the lives of these ancient peoples and their culture.
Jewelry in particular was varied and detailed, and many factors influenced its meaning.
To be considered sterling silver, an item must have a purity of .925 which is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metal, usually copper.
Our Peruvian silver jewellery uses silver of a higher purity .950, which is 95% pure silver, and as a result our jewellery is shinier than 9.25 sterling silver and durable for life.

Kick the risk out the front door and it just comes in the back.
Being sure each citizen has enough income to demand supply controls costs. Without subsidies, or price supports (like a mandate to buy health care insurance), to sell goods and services it is necessary to adjust prices to income. Capitalists, however, want to adjust income to prices.
Ideally, capitalism wants to support prices and resist distributing the income to demand it. Americans, for example, are mandated to buy health care insurance to control the cost.
Since being required to buy anything supports the price, existing without on-demand attribution, unlike a free market, income adjusts to the price; but then, whether you like it or not, you discover it's a free market after all. Kick the risk (the capacity to sanction on demand with adequate income) out the front, it just comes in the back.
Like Thomas Hobbes observed centuries ago when capitalism was emerging as a new paradigm, risk naturally yields to an on-demand identity.
Adjusting income to rising prices by mandate is deflationary. It is not a free-market mechanism. It is a command identity that accumulates risk instead of spreading it like, for example, Howard Dean says the ACA does.
Just because everybody needs health care does not mean everybody has the money to demand it, especially if the price keeps going up, along with everything else everybody needs, at near-zero marginal cost (which is the deflation monster devouring your income "on demand").
As the marginal cost gets closer to zero (as the monster gets bigger), there is a deflationary spiral. This is the opportunity for the capitalist (like freedom medalist, Warren Buffet) to confiscate your property and sell it back to you at a profit in late order. The act of confiscation appears to be disconnected, but it's not.
Buffet, for example, buys "distressed property" from speculators. While he claims he does not speculate with derivatives that cause financial panic, he is sure to benefit from the detriment, which consolidates assets–value you need to control the cost of health care, for example, on demand.
Capitalists intend for income to adjust to prices. Berkshire Hathaway is not going to sell distressed property at a loss. If you don't yield to uncle Warren's demands, then you don't buy a house. Instead, you rent it without gaining equity, which is "the" equity value to Buffet (the commonly divisible, "big-risk" detriment to you) at near-zero marginal cost.
Instead of prices adjusting to the supply of money, the supply of money meets the demand of the capitalists. This is quite different from "supply meets demand" in which risk flows from the consumer to the producer, which controls costs to the consumers' benefit.
Adjusting the money supply to meet the demands of capitalists (having consolidated so much money the risk is near full value at zero marginal cost), there is inflation, which reduces purchasing power. That "power" (measure of applied risk on demand) does not just vanish, it is conserved in the form of equity valuation, which is at a record (coercive) level.
For capitalists, supply meets demand, or else! Existing with the threat of unacceptable harm, what are the choices. The free-market attribution still exists here (you see) but it has been organized to fit a criminally coercive intent (the organized psychopathy I've been telling you about that exists with a mechanical, on-demand, free-market legitimacy).
Instead of prices yielding to demand, capitalists want demand to yield higher prices. Since yielding to the demands of capitalism reduces income, the method that yields the reward is self-destructive.
Yielding to a zero-marginal-cost society, capitalism yields to the risk it intends to avoid–collective-common identity.
The risk-identity presented by collective commonality is naturally "big." Capitalism, unparadoxically, intends to avoid "the big risk" by sanctioning everybody with its "natural identity"–its inevitable occurrence whether you like it or not.
What it isn't is paradoxical, what it is, is not too bright.

Racers Tear Up the Road With Their Tiny Plastic Wheels in Japan's Office Chair Grand Prix
News 11:44 AM PDT, June 10, 2019 - Inside Edition Staff
11:44 AM PDT, June 10, 2019 - Inside Edition Staff
On your mark, get set, roll!
People in Hanyu, Japan whipped around a 200-meter track using humble office furniture as part of the latest Isu Grand Prix on Sunday, Reuters reported.
The racers competed in teams of three, switching off to see how many laps they could clock around the track in a two-hour period.
"Isu" means chair in Japanese, and the first office chair grand prix was held in Kyoto in 2009. Since then, the sport's popularity has taken off. Fifty-five teams signed up to compete in Sunday's race in Hanyu, which is just one of 10 planned across the country in 2019.
Nearly all of the racers chose to go backward, propelling the tiny plastic wheels of their swivel chairs along with their feet. But that has its dangers, too. Quite a few took a spill out of their chairs as the other competitors zoomed around them.
And while it's no marathon, it's no joke, either. The physical feat left many a racer exhausted at the end of the day. Some members of the winning team, called Kitsugawa Unyu, were almost too tired to lift their prize, which was more than 190 pounds of locally grown rice.
The next Isu Grand Prix is slated for next month in Iwate prefecture, Reuters reported.

UK Casinos Restricted to Remote Locations?
If the U.K. builds new casinos, they might be constrained to out-of-the-way or poorer areas where potential U.S. casino companies aren't interested in building. As it is, these would-be casinos wouldn't be open for business until the year 2008.
Casino companies would most likely be allowed to apply for licenses in 2006 or 2007 after an autonomous government panel figures on which areas will be proper for casino construction.
U.S. casino giants that include the Las Vegas-based MGM Mirage, Las Vegas Sands Corp., Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and Ameristar Casinos Inc. have tentative plans to construct Las Vegas-style resorts in Great Britain.
There are U.K. casino operators that are against the bill, believing it will give preferentiality to Las Vegas and other investors from other outside countries, infringing on U.K. businesses. The issue of problem gambling has caused British lawmakers to strictly limit the number of casinos to only allow 8 for each category developed. The categories are based on the size of the casino – small, large and resort destination casinos.
London, which is obviously a highly populated area, could possibly only permit two casino sites, leaving other prospects to build in far -off locations that are less populated and have lower income families.
If this is to be, many would-be casino companies will most certainly pull out of any further planning, leaving only a few real brave companies willing to develop in these designated areas. While it is known that building casinos in the poorer areas would no doubt help local economies, casino companies will be leery of any profits.

Q: Using CSS to overlap divtags Trying to figure out how to utilise CSS animations AND overlap the elements.
Demo site
Essentially I div called Steven to sit half on top of the div ground and half on top of the div called moon(Which has the animation)
Page:

Welcome to my Minecraft Mods!

Question:
Why can't I get that div tag with the white box to sit on top of everything in the middle?

A: I took off that left value and the margin and it got closer. Not real sure exactly.. For that kind of specific placement, I wouldn't use %-based values. Get the height and calculate if you most via jquery but really, just using css to position it would pixels would be easier.

Typical sunglasses are darkened for protection against bright light or glare; some specialized glasses are clear in dark or indoor conditions, but turn into sunglasses when in bright light. Most sunglasses do not have corrective power in the lenses; however, special prescription sunglasses can be ordered. Specialized glasses may be used for viewing specific visual information (such as stereoscopy) or 3D glasses for viewing three-dimensional movies.

Does Each Bitcoin Have Its Blockchain? Explained
Also referred to as Distributed Ledger Teсhnоlоgy (DLT), Blockchain operates with decentralization and cryptographic hashing to ensure that the history of digital assets is unalterable by anyone.
А Gооgle Dос works in a way similar to the blockchain network. When a document is made and shared with a group of people, such document is distributed rather than being transferred or copied. This in turn creates a distribution chain that is highly decentralized, such that the document can be simultaneously accessed by everyone.
How Blockchain Works
Blockchain is composed of three (3) concepts: blocks, nodes, and miners.
Every chain is mаde uр оf multiрle blосks, eасh оf whiсh with these three basic elements:
The information is available in the block.
A nоnсe is defined by a 32-bit whоle number. So the nonce is randomly generated upon the creation of a block, which then generates a block of header hash.
The hash is а 256-bit number thаt is in linkage to the nonce. This must be relatively small, as it has to begin with a large number of zeroes.
Often, the cryptographic hash is generated by a nonce upon the creation of the first block of a chain. So, the data in the block is signed and in nexus to the nonce and hash until it is mined.
Mining is the process of adding new blocks to the chain by miners. However, every block in a blockchain is characterized by its unique nonce and hash.
Miners are known to use special software to solve complex mathematical problems of generating the newly minted hash. Following the capabilities of nonce and hash which are pegged at 32 bits long and 256 bits long, respectively, an approximate 4 billion nonce-hash combinations must be mined before the correct block is found. The result of this is commonly called the "golden nonce," with the block being added to the chain.
Meanwhile, arriving at golden nonces is time and power-consuming, hence it is hard to manipulate blockchain technology. But when there is successful mining, every network's nodes accept the change forthwith, while the miner is rewarded.
In apposite similitude to what cryptocurrency is known for (decentralization), this is also a major concept in blockchain technology. A single computer or organization cannot own a chain, but it stands as a public ledger across the chain's nodes.
Every nоde is characterized by its copy of the blockchain, hence the network must with its algorithm make approval of any newly minted block before the chain is updated, trusted, and verified.
Also, due to the transparency of blockchains, it is easy to verify and view the transaction history in the ledger. Here, every participant is given a unique alphanumeric identification number, which would be used to track their transactions.
Cryptocurrency: The Rise Of Blockchain Technology
In converse to fiat currency, cryptocurrency uses blockchain technology to act as a public ledger and a formidable cryptographic security system to ensure the safety of online transactions.
Today, there are about 6,700 cryptocurrencies across the globe, recording a total market cap of approximately $1.6 trillion, with Bitcoin boasting the lion's share of the value. Over the years, the token has had a meteoric rise with one Bitcoin valued at about $38,000.
People are in anticipation to see maybe cryptocurrency would emerge as the future currency. For now, the rise of blockchain is garnering huge support and trust rather than mere hype. Blockchain technology might be at its early stages, in terms of exploration, but it appears promising, especially in the crypto space.

Killings: Ezekwesili, 2Face, Rights Groups Demand Justice For Victims
Abuja, Makinde Oluwarotimi
Former minister of education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili,l and popular musician, Innocent Idibia (2face) were among several prominent Nigerians and human rights organisations who gathered at the Unity Fountain, Abuja Monday to mourn victims of violent killings in the country.
At the event organised by non-governmental organisations, including Global Rights and Enough is Enough Nigeria, they called on government to halt the violent killings in Nigeria, prosecute the perpetrators and sack the service chiefs for incompetence.
While speaking, Dr Ezekwesili said, "All these incessant killings must stop. No amount of natural resources is as important as a human life. We need to stop all these ethnicity, religiosity and come together as one, not minding tribe or religion. It is only then that we can have one voice and force the government to do what they are supposed to do, take action."
Also reiterating Ezekwesili's stand, the executive director, Enough Is Enough Nigeria, 'Yemi Adamolekun, said, "Enough is enough of the various killings happening all over Nigeria. The silence of our government is too loud. What we want is for justice to be served against all the offenders; and people who have lost their loved ones should be consoled."
On his part, Idibia called on more people to be involved in the cry against the injustice of violent killings taking place all over the nation.
"We need to become united and raise our voices against this injustice of killings in our country. Every action or decision being taken presently in this country is politically inclined and so we need to come together and take our stand."
After observing a minute silence for the departed, the country director, Global Rights, Mrs Abiodun Baiyewu-Teru called for the immediate dismissal of all the service chiefs for their inefficiency and inability to protect human lives and property.
"All the service chiefs should be sacked. The president should choose new people who will be ready to take action and defend the lives of all Nigerians. We are calling for government to put an end to these violent killings."
Several bouquets of flowers were laid around the Unity Fountain, representing every person that was killed unjustly in each state of the nation.

Q: Why the value of first element only is getting displayed? I'm having two arrays i'm inserting one array into another. This operation is done for each element of first array using foreach loop. But I'm able to attach only first pair of key value pairs to the first array during second iteration it does not. Can you help me in achieving this for aal array elements? My code is as follows:
$data = $grid->GetData();
        //print_d($data);

        foreach($data as $key => $value) {
          $sql  =" SELECT users_details.user_state, users_details.user_city FROM ".TBL_USERS." AS user JOIN ";
          $sql .= TBL_USERS_DETAILS." AS users_details on user.user_id = users_details.user_id ";
          $sql .=" WHERE user.user_id = '". $value['user_id']."'" ;

          $gDb->Query( $sql );
          $user_data = $gDb->FetchArray(MYSQL_FETCH_SINGLE);

          $data[$key]['user_state'] = $user_data['user_state'];
          $data[$key]['user_city'] = $user_data['user_city'];
        }

The first array named $data is as follows:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [user_id] => 9def02e6337b888d6dbe5617a172c18d
            [user_first_name] => Ashutosh
            [user_last_name] => Modi
            [user_email] => ashutosh.modi@gmail.com
            [user_status] => enable
            [user_subscription] => lifetime
            [user_registered_type] => online
            [user_reg_date] => 1325581397
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [user_id] => a6d22e4cc3f65778a60b359842bcec82
            [user_first_name] => Dilip
            [user_last_name] => Modi
            [user_email] => dm.modi@gmail.com
            [user_status] => enable
            [user_subscription] => period
            [user_registered_type] => online
            [user_reg_date] => 1325152066
        )

)

The first iteration of second array named $user_data is as follows:
    Array
(
    [user_state] => Rajasthan
    [user_city] => Jhunjhunu
)

Now after attaching this the array $data becomes as follows:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [user_id] => 9def02e6337b888d6dbe5617a172c18d
            [user_first_name] => Ashutosh
            [user_last_name] => Modi
            [user_email] => ashutosh.modi@gmail.com
            [user_status] => enable
            [user_subscription] => lifetime
            [user_registered_type] => online
            [user_reg_date] => 1325581397
            [user_state] => Rajasthan
            [user_city] => Jhunjhunu
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [user_id] => a6d22e4cc3f65778a60b359842bcec82
            [user_first_name] => Dilip
            [user_last_name] => Modi
            [user_email] => dm.modi@gmail.com
            [user_status] => enable
            [user_subscription] => period
            [user_registered_type] => online
            [user_reg_date] => 1325152066
            [user_state] =>
            [user_city] =>
        )

)

I'm not getting why the second array is having the blank values for user_state and user-city. Even after having the values of the array $user_data in second iterations are as follows:
Array
(
    [user_state] => Arunachal Pradesh
    [user_city] => Shollong
)

Can you resolve my this issue. Thanks in advance.

A: user_state and user_city are both added, so your code is working fine. You gotta know why $user_data is empty there.
Make your code like this:
      echo $sql;
      print_r($user_data);
      $data[$key]['user_state'] = $user_data['user_state'];
      $data[$key]['user_city'] = $user_data['user_city'];

That will output your sql for each loop and print_r function (or var_dump) will echo $user_data array right before those lines. Check why it is empty. Probably your second query in that loop is not what you think it is.

A: Your insertion is lie inside array of array. Try this
           $i=0;
       foreach($data as $key => $value) {
       $sql  =" SELECT users_details.user_state, users_details.user_city FROM ".TBL_USERS." AS user JOIN ";
      $sql .= TBL_USERS_DETAILS." AS users_details on user.user_id = users_details.user_id ";
      $sql .=" WHERE user.user_id = '". $value['user_id']."'" ;

      $gDb->Query( $sql );
      $user_data = $gDb->FetchArray(MYSQL_FETCH_SINGLE);
         $data[$i]['user_state'] = $user_data['user_state'];
         $data[$i]['user_city'] = $user_data['user_city'];
          $i++;

where $i represent the array key inside your data file which is default indexing start from 0 & go to 1,2 & so on in your data file..
Also Explore the following program may be find any thing good & being helpful in form to sort out your problem.
               e.g a program to update the array inside array.
        <?php
    $d3 = array('0'=>array('b'=>'1','c'=>'2'),'1'=>array('b'=>'3','c'=>'4'));
           $i=0;
           foreach($d3 as $k => $v){
           $d3[$i]['b'] = "h";
           $i++;
         }
       print_r($d3);
          ?>


What are the inflation rates?
I would choose equal opportunity, because that would give me the freedom to pick how hard I'd work for it.
I would choose equal opportunity, because equal opportunity can stimulate people's passions and create more ideas and competitive market.
Equal opportunity as it allows everyone to be treated similarly. This would help motivate workers and thus increase productivity.
I would rather choose equal opportunity. Since if people appropriately apply the opportunities in their life, work smart, work hard, everyone would have chances to be successful. For equal outcome, no matter how much you work harder than other people, you all gets the same amount of income.
I would choose equal opportunity, because that way people would have to work hard and have good ideas in order to make a greater output.
It depends on the quality of outcome. If working harder from equal opportunity leads to a big gap in the outcome, then I would go for equal opportunity. So if I work harder and get 50% more reward than the average, then I think equal opportunity is better. But if no matter how hard I work, the outcome is similar, then I would go for equal outcome.
I would choose equal opportunity because then I have the freedom to make my own choices.
I would choose equal opportunity. We all have different goals and mindset. With equal opportunity we will have different outcomes. People will achieve more with equal opportunities. For example poor and smart kids will be able to study at top universities and be big in the future.
I would choose equal opportunity as if everyone has the same opportunity, everyone would have to work hard to be able to become succesful. And if it was equal outcome, people could slack off and still be able to live off of everyone else that was working hard.
I would choose equal opportunity, because people good at different things and the realistic problems may stop them from doing what they want to do or good at. So the equal opportunity can give people chance to choose what they want to do.
I would like to choose equal opportunity because I can enjoy the outputs that I deserve based on how much work I could've done.
I would choose equal opportunity as it gives equal rights to the workers.
I would choose equal opportunity, so there wouldn't be any argument about unfairness and inequality.
Equal opportunity because equal outcome is flawed. For an equal outcome system to be achieved, everyone would have to be the same, have the same ideas, and imagine the same outcome for everyone, which is simply unrealistic. It is for this reason that I chose equal opportunity, because it allows for progression with people's ideas, it allows for those who choose to strive further to success more and not be limited to others who do not take advantage of these opportunities.
I would personally prefer equal opportunity as it gives everybody the chance to improve their lives, while having equal outcomes removes the incentives for working hard and to progress in technology. Not only that, equal outcomes also caps the roof of one's possible success and improvements.
I would most likely choose equal opportunity so that it equates to equal rights and give everyone a chance to be equal.
I would choose equal opportunity. As if everyone had the same opportunities, they would be able all achieve different outcomes. Everyone would be required to work as hard as one another in order to achieve equal outcomes. If some people work harder than others and everyone has equal outcomes, it would be an unfair system.
I believe that Equality is better than equity. The reason being that with equality your goal is achieve fairness within an economic system. It enables people to have the drive of wanting to close the wealth gap of the rich and poor.
I would choose equal opportunity instead of equal outcome. This is because if one was to be treated with equal outcome, then some people would be given more than others and this would be unfair.
I would choose equal opportunity because it gives an equal chance to everyone. This leaves it to the individual person to achieve the outcomes.
I would choose equity, if possible, since people would more motivated to work and compete, stimulating economic growth.

Africans Abroad: Jordan Ayew maintains scoring run at Arsenal's expense
There were a few groans at the lack of imagination when Crystal Palace parted with STG2.5 million to take Jordan Ayew back to Selhurst Park permanently, but the Ghana international continued to silence the doubters with a second-half equaliser as the Eagles held Arsenal 2-2 at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The 28-year-old hasn't had the best luck since moving to England with Aston Villa in 2015, being relegated twice -- with the Villains and then with Swansea City.
It looked as though Ayew's value as a Premier League player had diminished during a loan spell at Palace last term, in which he scored just once in 20 outings, and it wasn't lost on some observers that the Eagles had improved significantly in 2019 after a reshuffle that left him on the sidelines.
However, Palace manager Roy Hodgson has been wholly vindicated in his decision to sign the attacker in on a permanent deal, with Ayew's equaliser against Arsenal -- heading home a chipped James McArthur cross -- his fourth goal of the season. He now has four goals in his past eight Premier League outings, as many as he'd scored in his previous 34 matches in the competition.
For further context, Ayew's best return in a league season since leaving Ligue 1 is seven goals (2015-16 and 2017-18), but he appears comfortably on course to better that tally this term.
While this was a miserable afternoon for the Gunners, with Granit Xhaka's rift with Arsenal fans appearing to grow, Nicolas Pepe at least built on his two-goal showing against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League on Thursday with a pair of fine corners in the space of nine minutes -- the hosts scoring from both.
However, Wilfried Zaha, who so often raises his game for the highest-profile matches, stole the spotlight from his fellow Ivory Coast international, winning the penalty from which Palace began their comeback after being clipped in the box by Calum Chambers.
Referee Martin Atkinson initially accused Zaha of diving and booked the wideman, only for VAR to overturn the call, meaning that the yellow card was rescinded -- the first time this has happened in the top flight.
As Arsenal sought a winner during an increasingly ill-tempered second half, there were to be no heroics from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who failed to hit a shot on target and endured one of his least effective outings of the season.
In Sunday's big match, Liverpool's Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were the beneficiaries of the latest significant error from Serge Aurier, as the Spurs right-back brought down the Senegal forward in the box 15 minutes from time.
Salah duly stepped up from the spot to fire home the winner after Jordan Henderson's 52nd-minute finish had cancelled out Harry Kane's opener.
The fixture encapsulated the changing fortunes between these two sides since they contested the UEFA Champions League final in June, with Salah's winner maintaining the Reds' six-point lead over Manchester City after the latter's 3-0 victory over Villa on Saturday.
Lys Mousset, meanwhile, capped off a week to remember when he equalised for Sheffield United at West Ham United, having scored the winner to down Arsenal at home on Monday.
The Franco-Senegalese forward has now scored as many goals (three) in his past seven league outings for the Blades as he did in his 58 showings for previous club Bournemouth.
- Ogden: Mane's opportunism makes him more valuable than Salah

In Spain, Ramon Azeez's Granada moved atop La Liga after their 1-0 victory over Real Betis, the Nigeria midfielder hitting the woodwork. The Nasrids will, however, drop into second place if Barcelona avoid defeat at home against Real Valladolid on Tuesday.
Ghanaian duo Thomas Partey and Mohammed Salisu each enjoyed a memorable weekend, the former playing 90 minutes in Atletico Madrid's 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, and the latter netting his first goal of the competition, a close-range effort from a corner, as Valladolid downed Eibar by the same scoreline.
"I was very happy, and I couldn't believe it," the young defender told his club's official website. "I'd scored my first goal in La Liga, and it was a great feeling.
"When the ball came to me, I was sure that I'd scored. When the referee went to check the VAR, I was cool because I knew I wasn't offside."
In Italy, the top two dropped points in Serie A, with Juventus held at Lecce and Internationale failing to down Parma in Milan.
Yann Karamoh and Gervinho had given Parma the lead inside a dramatic first half hour in Lombardy, where Antonio Candreva opened the scoring for Inter on 23 minutes before the visitors responded twice inside four minutes. Romelu Lukaku salvaged a point for Inter six minutes after the restart, but they were unable to nab a winner to return to top spot.
Nicholas Opoku 's first-half sending off had dire consequences for Udinese, who had been comfortable -- holding Atalanta 1-1 away -- at the time of his 32nd-minute dismissal.
However, the visitors failed to cope with going down to 10 men, and Atalanta -- bouncing back in style from their midweek Champions League defeat by Manchester City -- were 3-1 up at half time before cruising to an emphatic 7-1 triumph.
Ivorian Christian Kouame scored his fourth goal of the season in Genoa's 3-1 victory against Brescia, while Kevin Malcuit -- who refused a call-up to the Morocco squad earlier this month -- may now miss the rest of the season after tearing an ACL 70 minutes into Napoli's 1-1 draw at SPAL.
In Germany, Salomon Kalou scored his first goal of the season in the Bundesliga, equalising for Hertha Berlin in the 69th minute as they came back from two goals down at home against Hoffenheim, only for the visitors to strike a 73rd-minute winner via Benjamin Hubner.
Belgo-Congolese wideman Dodi Lukebakio had scored the hosts' first goal, taking his tally to two goals and two assists in his past four top flight outings.
In France, Paris Saint-Germain, without the injured Idrissa Gueye, romped to a thumping 4-0 Classique triumph over Olympique de Marseille.
Boubacar Kamara endured a miserable evening in the heart of OM's backline, as they extended their winless league run against PSG to an agonising 16 matches.
The young centre-back later offered a perplexing excuse for his part in the defeat, and specifically for his responsibility in the opening goal, as Maruco Icardi met an Angel Di Maria cross to beat Steve Mandanda.
"It was an error on my behalf," 19-year-old Kamara said, per RMC. "I think that I could have got to the ball, [but] I heard a small word, and that made me drop off.
"It's up to me to learn from this error. It was hard, but I need to work so I don't commit any more."
For the first time this season, Nigeria's Victor Osimhen failed to score in a home league game for LOSC Lille, and the 20-year-old was withdrawn in the 58th minute.
While there will be concerns that he has now gone four games in all competitions without scoring, Les Dogues still managed a 3-0 victory to move up to third.
M'Baye Niang and Max-Alain Gradel were among the goals as Stade Rennais defeated Toulouse 3-2, while Wahbi Khazri and Chadrac Akolo were also on the scoresheet as Saint-Etienne and Amiens shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw.

Q: time.Time: pointer or value The Go docs say (emphasis added):

Programs using times should typically store and pass them as values, not pointers. That is, time variables and struct fields should be of type time.Time, not *time.Time. A Time value can be used by multiple goroutines simultaneously.

Is the last sentence (about using a Time value in multiple goroutines simultaneously) the only reason that they should "typically" be stored and passed as a value, rather than a pointer?  Is this common to other structs as well?  I tried looking for any logic that specifically enables this in the time.Time declaration and methods, but didn't notice anything special there.
Update: I often have to serve JSON representations of my structs, and I'd rather omit empty/uninitialized times.  The json:",omitempty" tag doesn't work with time.Time values, which appears to be the expected behavior, but the best workaround seems to be to use a pointer, which goes against the advice in the docs quoted above.

A: It's common for many kind of simple values.
In Go, when some value isn't bigger than one or two words, it's common to simply use it as a value instead of using a pointer. Simply because there's no reason to use a pointer if the object is small and you don't pass it to be changed.
You might have to unlearn the practice of languages where everything structured couldn't be handled as values. It's probably natural for you to use integers or floating point numbers as values, not pointers. Why not do the same for times ?
Regarding your precise problem with JSON and assuming you don't want to write a specific Marshaller just for this, there's no problem in using a *time.Time. In fact this issue was already mentioned in the golang-nuts list.

Leave a Comment on Earl and Countess of Wessex arrive in Sri Lanka
The British High Commission in Colombo has confirmed that The Earl and Countess of Wessex have arrived in Sri Lanka for their five-day visit. It is expected that the royal couple's time in Sri Lanka will be focused on the long-standing UK and Sri Lanka relationship as well as the Commonwealth, education and young people.

Edward and Sophie will meet a variety of young people who are overcoming challenges in a variety of communities across Sri Lanka.
Among those young people will be pupils from Schools for the Deaf and Blind in Ratmalana where they will interact with those able and differently abled youngsters who are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme – a scheme that Prince Edward is heavily involved with both in the UK and across the Commonwealth. Here, Edward and Sophie will witness how the Awards Scheme helps the communication impaired integrate into society in meaningful ways.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme was established in 1956 by Prince Philip. The programme helps develop young people for life and work and last year over 133,000 Duke of Edinburgh Awards were handed out.
While in Sri Lanka, The Earl and Countess of Wessex will meet with young athletes and para-athletes who will represent Sri Lanka in the upcoming Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in Australia.
British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, James Dauris, commented on Edward and Sophie's visit, "The Commission is delighted to have The Earl and Countess of Wessex in Sri Lanka to celebrate the strong links between two countries, young people and the Commonwealth. Their visit comes just two months before we host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London and allows us to celebrate our Commonwealth links and the important role young people will play in developing its potential."
The Earl and Countess of Wessex will represent Her Majesty The Queen at the 70th-anniversary celebrations of Sri Lanka's independence on Sunday.
Further engagements include a trip to Kandy where the royal couple will visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic and the Royal Botanical Gardens.

In order to create a congenial investment environment and to encourage overseas firms to invest in China, China has gradually set up a relatively complete legal system. In 1979 the National People"s Congress issued The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures. In the following 20-odd years, the Chinese government has promulgated and issued a series of laws and statutes concerning the establishment, operation, termination and liquidation of foreign-invested enterprises. The main laws and regulations include the three basic laws 篓D The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures, The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Contractual Joint Ventures, and The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises; detailed rules for the implementation of the three basic laws; The Company Law of the People"s Republic of China; The Income Tax Law of the People"s Republic of China for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises; Interim Provisions for Guiding Foreign Investment; Industrial Catalogue for Foreign Investment; Interim Provisions Concerning the Investment within China of Foreign-invested Enterprises, Provisions Regarding the Merger and Separation of Foreign-invested Enterprises, and Liquidation Measures for Enterprises with Foreign Investment. These provide legal bases from which to guarantee the independent operation rights of foreign-funded enterprises and to protect the legitimate rights and interest of both domestic and overseas investors.
Currently, the Chinese government is reexamining its existing laws and statutes in accordance with the framework of the WTO. It has abolished certain obsolete laws and regulations, and will gradually revise the laws and regulations that are incompatible with the rules of the WTO. For instance, in 2000 China revised The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Contractual Joint Ventures and The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises, and discarded certain restrictions regarding the balance of foreign exchange account and localization of supplies. In 2001 The Law of the People"s Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures was also revised.

We need to reimagine strategy.
As big data, cloud computing, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) continue to disrupt and change our projects, get inspired to innovate and support the delivery of a more profitable, resilient and better built environment.
The credibility of business and government to address "big problems" is in constant question. Demand has never been stronger for global companies to go beyond CSR, to integrate sustainability, and deliver Positive Impact. Many organisations still struggle to implement strategies for inclusive growth that are both scalable and profitable, while creating value across their supply chains and stakeholders.
To achieve true Positive Impact by generating economic and social value at scale, a reimagining of how we pursue growth, how we build partnerships and how we unlock capital is required.
Partner with us today to change how tomorrow looks. You're exactly what's needed to help us make it happen in our global community.

7 Reasons Child Marriage Is Horrible for Girls: The Guardian
Post author By Boss
No Comments on 7 Reasons Child Marriage Is Horrible for Girls: The Guardian
It's rare that a countrywide newspaper takes on one of the Global Citizen problems in its editorial — so we're thrilled to look the compelling "wedlock is a padlock" opinion piece from the Guardian this week.
The more voices that are raised in the fight to get rid of the old exercise of toddler marriage speed dating 香港 as soon as and for all, the better, in our ebook.
Child marriage is a extreme trouble and we're now not going to stop going on about it until it's properly and really over. As properly as being one of the UN's Global Goals, it additionally has a knock-on effect on many of the other 16 dreams — great education; get right of entry to to high-quality healthcare; gender equality; and no starvation, to call a few.
But nevertheless, a lady underneath 18 is married somewhere in the world every two seconds. More than 750 million girls and ladies who're alive nowadays have been married while underneath 18, and some 250 million of these were married earlier than the age of 15.

While the share of younger ladies getting married earlier than 15 has dropped from 12% to 8% since the early 1980s, there's still a protracted way to head.
So, within the smart words of the Guardian, right here are seven motives that toddler marriage is horrible for women.
1. Child Marriage Is Sexist.
While infant marriage impacts each girls and boys, girls are appreciably extra at danger from the exercise with nine in 10 children who get married being women.

2. It Exploits the Youngest, Most Vulnerable People.
Almost a third of female brides get married to a person older than 21. There is an increasing scrutiny of the issue, and increasingly of a number of the most stunning examples of toddler exploitation are coming to mild. Last 12 months, a 6-yr-vintage female changed into traded to a 55-yr-old guy in Afghanistan in alternate for a goat. In August, a sixteen-year-old female from India became sold to a 65-yr-antique Omani sheikh. Cases like these draw global interest to the exercise, however there are still many ladies that slip via the net.
3. It Traps Children.
Marriage is frequently visible as defensive ladies, particularly if they're pregnant, however it locks youngsters into regularly abusive relationships. In many countries, baby brides can't release felony action — for example divorce — or even access refuges, because they're minors.

4. It Can Stop a Girl in her Tracks.
Child marriage is one of the greatest barriers to women around the world. It's linked to poverty, and is regularly an give up to a girl's education. When a woman receives married, she is frequently predicted to drop out of college and she or he's no longer probably to return — rather taking up the home obligations of a wife and mother.
5. It's Linked to Violence and Exploitation.
In a 2017 survey of legal guidelines in 73 nations, it became discovered rapists in at least nine nations may want to avoid punishment in the event that they married their sufferer — along with in Bahrain, Iraq, the Philippines, Tajikistan, and Tunisia.

6. It's Everywhere.
Even in nations which might be assisting worldwide efforts to put off baby marriage. In every US state, infant marriage is legal in particular circumstances. In 25 US states, women of any age are allowed to marry in certain instances, whilst others have minimal a while as low as 13. In the United Kingdom, sixteen-yr-olds can get married with parental consent, and 16-year-olds in Scotland can get married without it.
7. The Effects Are Hereditary.
Child marriage is hampering international efforts to reduce poverty and populace boom. It's now not only a hassle for this technology. It's a trouble for destiny generations too.
It's linked to maternal and little one mortality, in large part due to the fact infant brides are pressured to have toddlers before their bodies are equipped. Even if they live to tell the tale, the kids of infant brides are less healthy, and much less likely to get right of entry to training. As the saying is going, teach a woman and also you educate a own family.
As well because the ladies and their families, baby marriage is impacting us globally. The World Bank has warned, as an example, that toddler marriage will value developing countries trillions of dollars by means of 2030.
The trouble isn't necessarily a case of creating laws to protect ladies — even though legislation is absolutely a start and sends a good sized message.
But it takes more than just legal guidelines. Even in international locations where baby marriage is illegal, many marriages aren't formally registered. In different places, consistent with the Guardian, officials turn a blind eye to breaches.

Something greater is wanted, in addition to regulation — enforcement. There is little factor growing ever harsher laws against baby marriage if communities aren't capable of put into effect them, and women and their families don't have any concept in their legal rights. Governments and local authorities want to step up to put into practice the legal guidelines which might be already in place.
Another essential step in tackling infant marriage is casting off the underlying factors that hold driving girls into marriage. Poverty, for instance; lack of financial opportunities; confined or 0 get admission to to contraception; patriarchal and conventional attitudes; and battle.
Global Citizen campaigns to attain the UN Global Goals, together with for gender equality. We intention to place an quit to legal guidelines that discriminate against or even endanger women round the world, thru our #LeveltheLaw marketing campaign. You can join us by means of taking action here.

The physical battle of tanks and bombs or territory gained and lost is only one terrible part of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's war against the people of Ukraine. The unprovoked war is also taking place in the media, on computer keyboards, and in the hearts and mind of people in Ukraine, in Russia, and worldwide. Just as Ukraine has won important battlefield successes in the face of what appeared to be an overwhelming Russian force, Ukraine has also waged a highly sophisticated public diplomacy campaign to counter what many thought was a Russian strength. Dr. Nicholas J. Cull, a pioneering scholar and educator in the field of public diplomacy and mass communication in foreign policy, joins "Helsinki on the Hill" to examine the fight over narratives around Russia's unprovoked war against Ukraine, how it shapes how different audiences understand the war, and the ultimate real-world impact of information warfare.

In the run-up to elections in the summer of 2020, the Lukashenko regime sought to eliminate political competition to through disqualification, intimidation, and imprisonment. Election Day proper featured widespread allegations of fraud. Many countries, including the United States, rejected the election's outcome as illegitimate and refused to recognize Lukashenko as the legitimate leader of Belarus. The months since the election have seen an unrelenting crackdown by Belarusian authorities on peaceful protests, civil society, and the media. As a participating State in the OSCE, Belarus is party to a number of commitments on human rights and fundamental freedoms, such as the right to free and fair elections and the right to peaceful assembly. In response to the apparent violation of these rights, 17 other OSCE states invoked one of the key human rights tools at their disposal: the Moscow Mechanism, a procedure that allows for the establishment of a short-term fact-finding mission tasked with producing a report on a specific human rights concern and recommendations on how to resolve it.

The brutality of the genocide of Srebrenica was compounded by the deliberate effort by those responsible to hide their crimes. The use of mass graves and the subsequent movement of remains of the murdered using heavy machinery meant that the identification of the victims seemed nearly impossible at the time. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, Kathryne Bomberger, director general of the International Commission on Missing Persons, discusses how ICMP has helped families of the Srebrenica victims find closure and pursue justice.

Wonderworks: Literary Invention and the Science of Stories (Paperback)
By Angus Fletcher
(LIT-CRIT)
This "fascinating" (Malcolm Gladwell, New York Times bestselling author of Outliers) examination of literary inventions through the ages, from ancient Mesopotamia to Elena Ferrante, shows how writers have created technical breakthroughs—rivaling scientific inventions—and engineering enhancements to the human heart and mind.
Literature is a technology like any other. And the writers we revere—from Homer, Shakespeare, Austen, and others—each made a unique technical breakthrough that can be viewed as both a narrative and neuroscientific advancement. Literature's great invention was to address problems we could not solve: not how to start a fire or build a boat, but how to live and love; how to maintain courage in the face of death; how to account for the fact that we exist at all.
Wonderworks reviews the blueprints for twenty-five of the most significant developments in the history of literature. These inventions can be scientifically shown to alleviate grief, trauma, loneliness, anxiety, numbness, depression, pessimism, and ennui, while sparking creativity, courage, love, empathy, hope, joy, and positive change. They can be found throughout literature—from ancient Chinese lyrics to Shakespeare's plays, poetry to nursery rhymes and fairy tales, and crime novels to slave narratives.
A "refreshing and remarkable" (Jay Parini, author of Borges and Me: An Encounter) exploration of the new literary field of story science, Wonderworks teaches you everything you wish you learned in your English class, and "contains many instances of critical insight....What's most interesting about this compendium is its understanding of imaginative representation as a technology" (The New York Times).
Angus Fletcher is a professor of story science at Ohio State's Project Narrative, the world's leading academic think-tank for the study of stories. He has dual degrees in neuroscience and literature, received his PhD from Yale, taught Shakespeare at Stanford, and has published two books and dozens of peer-reviewed academic articles on the scientific workings of novels, poetry, film, and theater. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He has done story-consulting for projects for Sony, Disney, the BBC, Amazon, PBS, and Universal and is the author/presenter of the Audible/Great Courses Guide to Screenwriting.
"Fascinating. . . . It blew my mind!"
"If Wonderworks had been around then, I would have sat my son down and read Angus Fletcher's exploration of the history and the psychology of literature to him, word by word. . . . I hope it will convince others that there are benefits and pleasures that you can get from literature that are unique and valuable."
— Jane Smiley
"I'm totally obsessed with Wonderworks. It swallowed me whole."
— Brené Brown, "Unlocking Us with Brené Brown," Parcast Network
"An intelligent, engaged and erudite attempt to neurologically tackle not just some abstract and simplified 'story', but some of the world's greatest narratives, from the Iliad to Dream of the Red Chamber, from Disney's Up to the novels of Elena Ferrante. It speaks to the inner reader in us all, as well as to the inner neurologist."
— Simon Ings
"Angus Fletcher is that rare critic who actually has something to say, who grabs us by the collar and hopes to shake sense into us. This may be one of the most important and truly useful books about literature written in the past decade. It opens a vista into reading that regards writing as a kind of continual experiment in human and societal engineering. That Wonderworks deserves a wide audience goes without saying. It's refreshing and remarkable on so many levels."
— Jay Parini, author of Borges and Me: An Encounter
"If you are interested in both writing and science this is an unmissable book. . . . Fresh and inspiring."
— Brian Clegg
"Reading good books doesn't just entertain us; it teaches us how to better use our brains and our emotions, as this lively treatise tells us . . . An idiosyncratic, richly detailed, often lyrical invitation to reconsider how and why to read literature."
"Aristotle's Poetics was new and brave but was left incomplete. Angus Fletcher finishes it in Wonderworks with some help from contemporary science and an abundance of penetrating analyses. Fletcher endorses storytelling as a foundational technology but he goes beyond that to illustrate its therapeutic value and centrality to cultural invention. Wonderworks is the perfect counter to our season in hell."
— Antonio Damasio, author of The Strange Order of Things: Life, Feeling and the Making of Cultures; Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California
"Find one polymath. Take a profound knowledge of world literature. Add a deep knowledge of modern psychology and of neuroscience. Add a cupful of worldly wisdom. Stir in an enchanting prose style. Heat until bubbling. You have just baked a unique, marvelous treat: Angus Fletcher's Wonderworks."
— Martin Seligman, author of The Hope Circuit and Learned Optimism; Professor of Psychology and Director of the Positive Psychology Center, University of Pennsylvania
"Drawing upon insights from neuroscience and evolutionary biology, an expert in the art of storytelling explains why literature matters by showing, through lucid examples, the myriad ways that literature's bag of tricks works with and for our minds. Anyone who has experienced wonder in an encounter with literature will profit from this wise and clever book."
— Lawrence Manley, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of English, Yale University
"Innovative . . . A fresh take on the history of literature and a testament to the enduring power of reading."
