La présente page effectue une comparaison entre le football américain et le football canadien.

En effet, bien que tous deux dérivés du rugby et regroupés sous le vocable de « football nord-américain », le football américain et le football canadien sont deux sports qui possèdent beaucoup de similitudes mais également de nombreuses différences.

Histoire
Le football a été introduit en Amérique du Nord par la garnison britannique de Montréal qui joua une série de matchs avec l'université McGill. En 1874, l'université Harvard, américaine, reçut l'université McGill pour disputer en aller-retour une série de matchs du nouveau sport dérivé du rugby. Les Canadiens arrivèrent avec quelques jours d'avance et tinrent des entraînements quotidiens. Les Américains furent surpris de voir les Canadiens botter, pourchasser et courir avec le ballon en mains. Ceci violait un principe de base du jeu américain de l'époque. Quand Henry Grant, le capitaine de Harvard, le fit remarquer à David Roger, capitaine de McGill, la réponse fut simple : courir avec le ballon fait partie intégrale du jeu canadien. Interrogé sur le nom qu'il donnait à ce sport, Roger répondit : « le rugby ».

Après quelques discussions, on décida de jouer avec des règles mi-américaines, mi-canadiennes. Ainsi plusieurs des différences et ressemblances entre les sports canadien et américain découlent de cette série où l'équipe jouant à domicile décidait des règlements. Par exemple Harvard, par manque d'espace, n'avait pas de terrain de rugby aux dimensions réglementaires. Leur terrain mesurait seulement 100 yards par 50, avec des zones de but réduites (légèrement plus petit que les 53⅓ yards – environ  – de largeur prévues par les règles américaines de l'époque). À cause de ce terrain réduit, l'équipe de Harvard opta pour  sur le terrain, quatre de moins qu'au rugby union. Pour aider l'attaque, Harvard augmenta aussi le nombre d'essais de trois à quatre. Enfin, les joueurs de Harvard aimèrent tellement courir avec le ballon qu'ils adoptèrent cette pratique pour tous leurs matchs à venir.

Alors que les Américains eurent le dessus (une victoire de 3-0 le 14 mai suivie d'un nul, 0-0 le lendemain), la variété de football des deux pays en fut à jamais changée. Les deux variétés de football ont toujours des éléments en commun avec les deux variétés de rugby, surtout le Rugby à XIII.

Plusieurs, voire la plupart, des différences de règles ont leur origine dans des modifications apportées aux règlements américains, et qui n'ont pas été reprises au football canadien. Les codes de jeu canadiens n'ont jamais aboli la règle du joueur en jeu lors d'un punt (voir la section Règles sur les bottés ci-bas), ni restreint les mouvements dans le champ arrière, alors que le football universitaire américain (dont sont issus tous les codes réglementaires américains) l'a fait. Le football canadien a tardé à adopter la mise en jeu entre les jambes du centre et la passe avant. De plus, il a adopté plus tard que les Américains la levée des restrictions sur le blocage, devenant identique au jeu américain seulement dans les années 1970. Pareillement, des différences dans le pointage (les Canadiens donnant moins de valeur au touchdown) sont apparues à la fin du  mais ont été abolies dans les années 1950. Un aspect du jeu où les Américains ont été moins innovateurs est celui du .

Plusieurs des joueurs de la LCF sont des Américains qui ont été formés au football américain, et qui n'ont pu trouver de poste régulier dans la NFL, ou qui préfèrent jouer au Canada ; il y a cependant un système de quotas qui limite le nombre de joueurs non Canadiens. Pour les joueurs qui ont joué dans les deux ligues, on conserve des statistiques combinées provenant des deux ; ainsi, Warren Moon était jusqu'en 2006 le meneur du football professionnel pour les yards gagnés par la passe pour un passeur, après une carrière illustre dans les deux ligues. Il a été surpassé depuis par Damon Allen puis Anthony Calvillo, qui ont joué uniquement dans la LCF.

Différences
Voici les principales différences entre les versions canadienne et américaine du football :

Aire de jeu
Le terrain du football canadien est plus grand que celui du football américain actuel, mais similaire à celui d'avant 1912. Il a une longueur de  par 65 ( par ), plutôt que  par 53,3 ( par ) au football américain (sans compter les zones des buts). De plus, la zone des buts est plus profonde, mesurant 20 yards () plutôt que 10. Parfois, un terrain de football canadien sera tronqué aux extrémités des zones de buts de façon à pouvoir s'inscrire à l'intérieur d'une piste d'athlétisme. C'est le cas du stade Percival-Molson, domicile des Alouettes de Montréal. Les poteaux des buts sont placés sur la ligne des buts au football canadien, et sur la ligne de fond au football américain. Les traits de remise en jeu (hash marks) se situent à 24 yards () de chaque ligne de côté, contrairement à 23 yards,  et  () dans la NFL, soit exactement la distance entre les poteaux des buts.

Nombre de joueurs
Les équipes américaines utilisent onze joueurs chacune, tandis que les équipes canadiennes en ont douze. Dans les deux sports, le nombre de joueurs sur la ligne de scrimmage (ligne de mêlée) est le même, par conséquent le joueur supplémentaire du football canadien est un joueur d'arrière-champ.

Cette situation implique qu'il y a des différences dans la désignation des positions offensives et défensives entre les deux sports. Par exemple, il n'y a ordinairement pas de tight-end (ailier rapproché) dans une formation de football canadien. La disposition offensive typique au football canadien comprend deux wide receivers (demis inséré) au lieu d'un tight end (ailier rapproché), et du côté défensif, deux defensives backs (demis défensifs) et un safety (maraudeur) plutôt que deux maraudeurs.

Le ballon
Bien que les normes concernant les ballons au football américain et au football canadien soient différentes, elles se chevauchent en partie. Un ballon donné pourrait respecter les deux normes, du moins en ce qui a trait à la taille.

Les dimensions exigées par la NFL sont :

 Une petite circonférence de 527 à  (20,75 à ) et une grande circonférence de 705 à  (27,75 à ).

Les dimensions exigées par la LCF sont :

 Une petite circonférence de 530 à  (20,875 à ) et une grande circonférence 705 à  (27,75 à ).

Une autre différence est que les ballons canadiens doivent avoir deux bandes blanches larges de  () situées autour du ballon à  () de son plus grand diamètre. Les ballons américains n'ont aucune bande.

Nombre d'essais
Dans les deux sports, une équipe a un nombre limité d'essais (ou jeux) pour faire avancer le ballon de dix yards. Ce nombre est de quatre au football américain, et trois au football canadien.

Mise en jeu
Dans les deux sports, le ballon est placé sur la ligne de scrimmage (ligne d'engagement ou ligne de mêlée), et un joueur appelé le centre le met en jeu en le remettant derrière lui d'un mouvement d'avant en arrière. Au football canadien, il est obligatoire que le ballon passe entre les jambes du centre ; il n'y a pas de telle obligation au football américain, même  si en pratique, le centre le fait toujours afin qu'il puisse être en position d'effectuer un blocage par la suite.

Il y a une distance prescrite à laquelle doivent se situer les joueurs défensifs par rapport à la ligne d'engagement. Au football canadien cette distance est d'un yard ; pour cette raison les équipes vont avoir tendance à tenter un jeu dans une situation de « trois et un » (troisième essai et un yard à franchir). Si un jeu amène le ballon à une distance de moins d'un yard de la ligne d'en-but, il sera placé sur la ligne du 1 yard.

Au football américain cette distance est de  (onze pouces), soit la longueur du ballon, ce qui donne l'impression que les joueurs sont nez à nez.

En conséquence, le football américain favorise les joueurs de ligne offensive massifs et peu mobiles, qui forment une ligne difficile à percer pour l'adversaire, tandis que le football canadien trouve plus utiles des joueurs plus agiles à cause de la distance plus grande entre les deux lignes.

« Fair catch » et retour de punt (botté de dégagement)
Au football américain, si un returner (retourner de bottés) juge qu'il ne sera pas capable de faire avancer le ballon à la suite de sa réception, il peut signaler, en agitant sa main dans les airs, qu'il veut se prévaloir d'un « fair catch » (terme parfois traduit par « arrêt de volée » par analogie avec le rugby à XV, mais cette traduction n'est pas couramment utilisée au Canada) et renoncer à avancer avec le ballon. À ce moment, l'équipe adverse doit le laisser attraper le ballon; si elle crée une interférence, elle sera pénalisée de quinze yards. Au Canada, cette action du returner est souvent désignée par l'expression « demander l'immunité ».

Au football canadien, par contre, il n'y a pas de règle de « fair catch ». À la place, il est interdit à tout joueur de l'équipe qui a botté de s'approcher plus près que cinq yards du ballon tant que celui-ci n'a pas été touché par un adversaire, sauf pour le botteur et tout joueur qui était derrière lui au moment du botté. En cas d'infraction, une pénalité sera appelée; elle sera de 15 yards si le ballon est attrapé, et de cinq yards s'il a touché le sol.

De plus, au football américain, l'équipe qui reçoit le botté peut choisir de ne tenter aucun jeu si aucun receveur ne pense pouvoir attraper le ballon. Dès qu'un joueur de l'équipe qui botte touche au ballon après le botté, sans que l'équipe qui reçoit n'y ait touché, le ballon devient « mort » et cette dernière peut choisir de prendre possession du ballon à l'endroit du premier contact. C'est pour cela qu'on voit parfois les joueurs de l'équipe qui a botté protéger le ballon qui roule pour le laisser aller le plus loin possible (mais pas dans la zone d'en-but cependant) avant d'y toucher, pour que l'adversaire commence sa série de jeux loin dans son territoire.

Au football canadien, l'équipe qui reçoit doit se saisir rapidement du ballon si elle l'a laissé rouler sur le sol sans y toucher, car le botteur et tout joueur qui était derrière lui au moment du botté peut s'en emparer et en redonner la possession à son équipe.

Mouvements lors de la mise en jeu
Au football américain, une fois que les joueurs sont en position, un seul joueur a le droit d'être en mouvement, et ce mouvement ne doit pas être en direction de la ligne de mêlée au moment où le ballon est mis en jeu. De plus, s'il était placé sur la ligne de mêlée avant de se mettre en mouvement, il doit se trouver à cinq yards de cette ligne au moment de la remise du ballon.

Au football canadien, tous les joueurs du champ arrière de l'équipe offensive, sauf le quarterback, peuvent être en mouvement au moment de la remise du ballon. Ils peuvent bouger dans n'importe quelle direction pour autant qu'ils soient derrière la ligne de mêlée au moment où le ballon est mis en jeu. De plus, les deux joueurs placés aux extrémités de la ligne offensive (ordinairement des wide receivers (receveurs éloignés) peuvent aussi être en mouvement le long de la ligne de mêlée. Plusieurs équipes favorisent ce mouvement illimité qui peut confondre l'équipe en défense. Cela permet aussi aux receveurs d'être en « départ lancé », traversant la ligne de mêlée en pleine course et pouvant ainsi se rendre plus loin dans le champ arrière pour recevoir une longue passe ou capter plus tôt une passe rapide.

Chronométrage
Au football américain, l'équipe à l'attaque doit mettre le ballon en jeu au plus  après le coup de sifflet de l'arbitre, sauf dans la NCAA et dans la NFL où les équipes disposent de  après la fin du jeu précédent, ou  à la suite d'une pénalité ou d'un temps d'arrêt. Au football canadien, les équipes disposent de .

Les règles du football américain permettent trois temps d'arrêt d'une minute chacun à chacune des équipes dans chaque demie, et un autre temps d'arrêt est automatiquement appliqué deux minutes avant la fin de chaque demie, sauf dans la NCAA. Dans la LCF, chaque équipe dispose d'un seul temps d'arrêt de  dans chaque demie, et le temps d'arrêt automatique est appliqué trois minutes avant la fin de la demie. De plus, dans tous les paliers du football canadien, le chronomètre est arrêté après chaque jeu dans les trois dernières minutes d'une demie.

Règles sur les bottés
Le football canadien conserve des règles beaucoup plus permissives concernant la récupération par une équipe du ballon qu'elle vient de botter. Sur n'importe quel botté, le botteur et tout joueur de son équipe qui se trouve derrière lui au moment du botté peut récupérer et faire avancer le ballon. Sur un kickoff (botté d'envoi), puisque tous les joueurs doivent être derrière le ballon lors du botté, ils sont tous « en jeu » et susceptibles de récupérer le ballon une fois que celui-ci a franchi dix yards. Pour les punts (bottés de dégagement) et les field goals (bottés de placement) ratés, seul le botteur est habituellement en jeu, puisque personne n'est positionné derrière lui. Tous ses coéquipiers qui sont hors-jeu ne peuvent pas toucher au ballon en premier ni se trouver à moins de cinq yards du joueur adverse qui attrape le ballon; l'équipe fautive sera pénalisée pour non-respect de la zone d'immunité.

Au football américain, les règles sont similaires en ce qui concerne les kickoffs. Par contre, elles sont différentes pour les jeux de bottés débutant par une remise, soit les punts et les field goals ratés. Dans ce cas, pour que l'équipe qui botte puisse recouvrer le ballon et en conserver la possession, celui-ci doit avoir été touché au-delà de la ligne de mêlée par un adversaire puis récupéré par l'équipe du botteur. À ce moment, cette équipe obtient un first-down (premier essai). Si l'équipe qui reçoit n'a pas d'abord touché le ballon et que l'équipe qui botte y touche, c'est alors un « first-down » tel que décrit dans la section « Fair catch » et retour de punt ci-haut.

Ligne défensive
Au football canadien, la ligne défensive peut bloquer un receveur de passes (wide receiver ou tight-end) seulement à l'intérieur d'un yard de la ligne de mêlée, au lieu de cinq yards dans la NFL, ce qui permet du jeu plus ouvert.

Échappé qui sort des limites du terrain
Selon les règles canadiennes, si le ballon est échappé et roule hors de l'aire de jeu, sa possession revient à l'équipe qui a touché au ballon en dernier alors que celui-ci était encore en jeu. Un ballon libre peut être botté vers l'avant, pourvu qu'il soit par la suite recouvré par un joueur qui n'était pas hors-jeu au moment du botté. Cependant, le ballon ne peut pas être botté délibérément hors du terrain dans le but d'en obtenir la possession; cela est considéré comme un botté de la ligne de mêlée qui sort du terrain, et la possession revient alors à l'autre équipe. Un contact accidentel avec le pied n'est pas considéré comme un botté.

Au football américain, la dernière équipe à avoir eu clairement possession du ballon le conserve, sauf si le ballon sort du terrain par le fond ou les côtés de la zone d'en-but.

Field goals (bottés de placement), simples et « touchbacks »
Au football canadien uniquement, tout ballon botté qui entre dans la zone d'en-but est en jeu, sauf s'il s'agit d'un field goal réussi ou d'un ballon qui a touché les poteaux des buts. Si le joueur qui attrape le ballon ne réussit pas à le sortir de la zone d'en but, ou si le ballon sort au fond de la zone d'en-but (sauf sur un punt), alors l'équipe qui l'a botté est créditée d'un simple, qui vaut un point. L'équipe qui reçoit le botté peut alors prendre possession du ballon à sa ligne de 35 yards ; elle a aussi le choix, s'il s'agit d'un field goal raté, de le reprendre à la dernière ligne de mêlée. Dans le cas d'un kickoff qui sort par le fond de la zone d'en-but, ou d'un ballon qui touche les poteaux des buts, aucun point n'est marqué et l'équipe qui reçoit le botté reprend le jeu de sa ligne de 25.

Si le botté est retourné en dehors de la zone d'en-but, l'équipe qui l'a reçu le remet en jeu à partir du point atteint; dans les ligues amateurs, elle le remet en jeu à la ligne de 20 si elle n'a pas dépassé ce point.

Les simples n'existent pas au football américain.

Le football américain permet aussi à une équipe de tenter de retourner un field goal raté; cependant cette option est rarement exercée. La plupart des équipes préfèrent reprendre possession du ballon à la dernière ligne de mêlée en NCAA ou t à l'endroit du botté en NFL. Comme les poteaux des buts sont hors-jeu, tout field goal qui touche un poteau et ne marque pas est un ballon mort ; l'équipe qui reçoit reprend possession du ballon à l'emplacement du botté ou à sa propre ligne des  20 yards, selon la position la plus avantageuse.

De même, tout kickoff ou punt qui :
 va au-delà de la zone d'en-but;
 va entre dans la zone des buts puis roule à l'extérieur de celle-ci sans être touché par un joueur;
 est touché dans la zone d'en-but par un joueur de l'équipe qui botte sans avoir été touché par un joueur de l'autre équipe;
 est tenu au sol dans la zone d'en-but par un joueur de l'équipe qui reçoit;
résulte en un touchback: l'équipe qui reçoit reprend possession du ballon à sa ligne des 20 yards.

Après un field goal réussi, les règles du football canadien donnent le choix à l'équipe contre laquelle le placement a été marqué de :
 recevoir un kickoff ;
 faire un kickoff de sa ligne de 35 yards ;
 reprendre possession du ballon à sa ligne de 35 yards.

Au football américain, le jeu redémarre toujours par un kickoff de l'équipe qui a marqué.

Botté à champ ouvert
Le football canadien conserve le botté à champ ouvert comme jeu autorisé, permettant ainsi aux joueurs de botter de n'importe quel endroit du terrain. Rarement vu, le botté à champ ouvert pourrait être utilisé comme jeu de la dernière chance par l'équipe à l'attaque : réalisant qu'il ne peut se rendre à la ligne des buts adverse, un joueur pourrait s'avancer le plus possible puis tenter un « drop-kick » pour obtenir un botté de placement. À l'inverse, dans les dernières secondes d'un match qui est à égalité ou qu'elle mène par un seul point, l'équipe en défensive qui fait face à une tentative de botté de placement va souvent placer son ou ses botteurs dans la zone des buts. Ainsi, si le placement est manqué, ceux-ci vont tenter de botter le ballon à l'extérieur de leur zone des buts pour éviter qu'un simple soit compté contre eux.

Une telle situation s'est produite le 29 octobre 2010 à la fin d'un match entre les Argonauts de Toronto et les Alouettes de Montréal. Avec  à jouer et le pointage égal 30-30, le botteur de Montréal Damon Duval a raté un placement de la ligne de 36 yards. Le botteur de Toronto, Noel Prefontaine a tenté d'attraper le ballon avant qu'il ne sorte au fond de la zone des buts, ce qui aurait donné un point et le match aux Alouettes. Il l'a arrêté puis est tombé, et c'est son coéquipier Mike Bradwell qui l'a botté jusqu'à la ligne des 20 yards environ. Mais son botté est attrapé par Duval, qui le botte de nouveau dans la zone d'en-but. Là, le linebacker Grant Shaw arrête le ballon mais le laisse rouler au sol, et son faible botté est empêché de sortir de la zone d'en-but par le long snapper (spécialiste des longues remises) Martin Bédard, puis est récupéré par le running back Dahrran Diedrick pour un touchdown.

Le football américain ne permet que les bottés effectués derrière la ligne de mêlée; tout botté tenté au-delà de la ligne de mêlée ou après un changement de possession résulterait en une pénalité.

Safety (touché de sûreté)
Dans les deux sports, un touché de sûreté donne deux points à l'équipe qui le réussit. Au football américain, l'équipe qui a accordé le touché de sûreté doit effectuer un « free kick » de sa ligne de 20 verges. Au football canadien, l'équipe qui a marqué a le choix de reprendre le ballon à sa ligne de 35 verges, de faire un kickoff (botté de reprise) de sa ligne de 35 ou de faire exécuter à l'adversaire un botté de reprise de sa propre ligne de 25.

Transformations
Dans les deux sports, après un touchdown, l'équipe qui a marqué peut tenter un jeu pour obtenir un ou deux points additionnels. Ce jeu est appelé transformation. L'équipe peut effectuer un botté entre les poteaux de buts, ce qui donne un point, ou tenter de marquer un touchdown à partir de la ligne de mêlée, ce qui donne deux points.

Cependant, la position du ballon est différente au football américain et au football canadien. Dans le jeu américain, le ballon est placé à la ligne de deux yards (trois yards chez les amateurs), tandis qu'il est placé à la ligne de 5 yards au football canadien. Toutefois, le botteur canadien est en fait plus près des poteaux de buts, qui sont sur la ligne d'en-but au Canada et au fond de la zone d'en-but aux États-Unis.

Dans la NFL et la NCAA, le ballon est placé par défaut au milieu du terrain sur la ligne de deux ou de trois yards selon le cas, mais l'équipe peut demander qu'il soit placé à un autre endroit entre les traits de remise en jeu (hash marks) et même plus loin des buts ; ce peut être le cas par exemple si le terrain est abîmé à l'endroit habituel du botté, ou par décision stratégique dans le cas d'une tentative de transformation de deux points.

Durant une transformation, le ballon est considéré en jeu dans la LCF, au football collégial américain et dans quelques autres organisations. Cela permet à l'équipe défensive de marquer deux points si elle réussit, au moyen d'une interception ou d'un fumble (échappé) recouvré, à se rendre dans la zone des buts adverses, ou de marquer un point (dans la CFL) par un botté à champ ouvert qui passe entre les poteaux de buts. À l'opposé, dans la NFL, au football canadien amateur et aux autres niveaux de football américain, l'équipe défensive ne peut pas marquer sur une tentative de transformation.

Ballon mort quand le porteur de ballon est au sol
Au football canadien amateur, le ballon n'est pas mort si un joueur s'agenouille momentanément pour prendre au sol une remise, une passe latérale ou un botté fait par l'équipe adverse, alors qu'au football américain amateur, ces situations entraînent un ballon mort, à moins qu'il s'agisse du teneur de ballon pour un botté de précision. Dans ce cas, le teneur est autorisé à récupérer le ballon qui roule, ou à se lever pour attraper une remise trop haute puis remettre un genou au sol.

Dans les ligues professionnelles des deux sports, à moins qu'il soit clair que le porteur de ballon s'est agenouillé ou a glissé volontairement, celui-ci doit être touché par un adversaire alors qu'il est au sol. Si ce n'est pas le cas, il peut se relever et continuer à avancer avec le ballon.

Autres différences
Au football scolaire et universitaire américain, tout comme dans l'ensemble du football canadien, le joueur qui reçoit une passe n'a besoin d'avoir qu'un pied au sol à l'intérieur de l'aire de jeu pour que l'attrapé soit valide. Les règles de la NFL exigent que les deux pieds soient à l'intérieur des limites.

Les règles sur l'interférence de passe ont des différences mineures:
Au football canadien, une interférence de passe peut être appelée sur toute passe avant, même si le receveur est derrière la ligne de mêlée. Au football américain, la règle ne peut être appliquée tant que le ballon lancé ne traverse pas la zone neutre.

Jusqu'en 2010, une interférence de passe pouvait être appelée au football canadien même s'il était jugé qu'il était impossible pour le receveur d'attraper la passe. Depuis, les règles à ce sujet ont été alignées avec celles du football américain.

L'alignement d'une équipe de la LCF compte , contre 53 dans la NFL (dont seulement 45 peuvent être en uniforme pour un match). Dans la LCF,  peuvent être en uniforme. De ceux-ci, 3 sont des quarterbacks, sur lesquels aucune restriction ne s'applique, et des 39 autres, 19 au maximum peuvent être non-canadiens. De plus, des  partants d'un match (les douze de l'équipe offensive et les douze de l'équipe défensive), au moins sept doivent être Canadiens.

La saison de la NFL va de la deuxième semaine de septembre jusqu'au début janvier, avec les séries éliminatoires en janvier et février. La saison de la LCF débute en fin juin et dure jusqu'au match de la coupe Grey fin novembre, compte tenu de la difficulté, voire l'impossibilité de jouer en hiver.

Les mouchoirs (flags) des arbitres, utilisés pour signaler les pénalités, sont de couleur orange dans la LCF et jaunes dans la NFL. À l'inverse, les mouchoirs utilisés par les entraîneurs pour signaler qu'ils demandent une révision par reprise vidéo d'une décision de l'arbitre sont jaunes dans la LCF et rouges dans la NFL. Enfin, l'arbitre en chef dans la LCF a une casquette noire avec passepoil blanc tandis que celles des autres arbitres sur le terrain sont blanches avec passepoil noir; dans la NFL l'arbitre a une casquette complètement blanche et les autres officiels des casquettes noires avec passepoil blanc.

Différences dans la stratégie
Bien que les similarités entre le football canadien et le football américain soient très fortes, les différences entre ceux-ci ont un effet important sur la façon de jouer et sur la gestion des équipes. On peut résumer cet effet en disant que le « gros jeu » est plus important au football canadien et que la gestion de la possession du ballon y est plus difficile.

Gestion de la zone près des lignes de buts
À cause de la zone d'en-but plus grande au football canadien et du fait que les poteaux de buts sont à l'entrée de cette zone, les équipes doivent éviter de frapper ces poteaux. La plupart des tentatives de passe de touchdown sont donc effectuées loin du centre de la zone des buts. Réussir ces passes est encore plus difficile quand les coins de la zone d'en-but sont tronqués, par exemple quand le terrain est entouré par une piste d'athlétisme. Cependant, l'équipe à l'attaque dispose d'un avantage avec la zone d'en-but qui fait plus du double de la superficie de celle du football américain: les tracés des wide receivers peuvent être plus variés.

Équipes spéciales
Les punts ou bottés de dégagement sont plus fréquents au football canadien car l'équipe à l'attaque dispose d'un essai de moins pour franchir dix yards. Les équipes spéciales contribuent donc plus largement au succès d'une équipe.

Gestion de la possession du ballon
Le fait d'avoir trois essais au lieu de quatre incite les équipes canadiennes à tenter moins de jeux hasardeux et à défavoriser les courts gains par la course. La passe est donc favorisée au football canadien, car les jeux de passe donnent en moyenne plus de yards gagnés par réussite que la course ; de plus, le terrain plus vaste et la présence d'un receveur éligible supplémentaire sont des facteurs qui favorisent aussi la passe. La possession continue du ballon sur une longue période est plus commune au football américain qu'au football canadien.

Mouvement des joueurs dans le champ arrière
Le mouvement illimité des joueurs de champ arrière au football canadien donne beaucoup plus d'options à l'équipe à l'attaque, forçant la défense à se préparer à plusieurs jeux différents. Au football américain, les possibilités de mouvements sont très restreintes.

Remontées de dernière minute
Le chronomètre est arrêté plus souvent au football canadien, que ce soit au niveau universitaire ou professionnel. Dans la LCF, il y a plus d'arrêts de l'horloge que dans la NFL dans les dernières minutes d'une demie. De plus, une équipe qui mène par une faible marge a moins l'occasion de tuer le temps au football canadien, à cause des trois essais au lieu de quatre. Elle a également moins de temps pour remettre le ballon en jeu, et perd un essai lorsqu'elle ne commence pas un nouveau jeu à temps dans les trois dernières minutes d'une demie.

Don't muzzle nonprofits Punitive approach: Republicans attempt to curb abuses that are already illegal.
AT A TIME when social spending is falling prey to budget deficits and tight-fisted taxpayers, charitable organizations are anticipating a huge increase in the demand for their services. They'll have a hard enough time scrambling for the resources to meet those needs without being hobbled by a punitive proposal being pushed by Republicans in the House of Representatives.
The tool is an appropriations provision that puts limits on an organization's ability to lobby public officials or to influence public opinion. Maryland's own Rep. Robert Ehrlich, R-2nd, is one of the champions of this measure, which would prohibit any nonprofit group receiving federal dollars, directly or indirectly, from spending more than 5 percent of its privately raised funds for such activities.
Imagine the effort it will take for federal bureaucrats to monitor the budgets of all nonprofit organizations, or for small, largely volunteer operations to keep track of all the data the government will want to see.
The targets of this legislation may be big, politically powerful groups like the American Association of Retired Persons or the American Bar Association. If so, this scatter-shot approach would do less to correct any perceived problems than it would to hurt the little organizations that work hard on shoe-string budgets to make communities better places to live.
Despite the hard-line rhetoric coming from Representative Ehrlich and his colleagues, we see no persuasive evidence that nonprofit organizations are running amok over the legislative process. Even if they were, they could be prosecuted under laws that have been on the books for decades: It is already illegal for non-profits to use government funds for lobbying purposes.
This country has many problems begging for attention. Nonprofit lobbying activity is not among them.

Lagos #EndSARS report: Armed forces don't engage in ignoble acts, says defence chief
by News Agency	0 Comments
Lucky Irabor, chief of defence staff, says the armed forces of Nigeria do not engage in dishonorable activities.
Irabor spoke on Tuesday while fielding questions from journalists at an event in Benin City, the Edo capital.
The defence chief was responding to questions on the report of the Lagos judicial panel of inquiry which was submitted to the state government on Monday.
According to the report seen by TheCable, the panel said its findings revealed that the army and police shot at protesters who had gathered at the Lekki tollgate in October 2020.
Speaking on the development, Irabor said he couldn't say much on the panel's findings until he sees the full document.
"Whether it's a true report, I can't tell. But I will like to indicate that the normal procedure is to have such a report submitted to the convening authority," NAN quoted him as saying.
"Then, there will be a white paper presented based on which one can then make informed comment.
"But whatever it is, currently, I will like to indicate that the armed forces of Nigeria is a professional armed forces which remain committed to constitutional mandate.
"If there are issues, of course, we'll address them within the ambit of the divisions.
"It will not be right to disparage men and women who have worked so hard to ensure that the territorial integrity of the nation is kept intact.
"So, until I see the full report, I may not be able to say anything. But I can assure you that the armed forces of Nigeria are well disciplined and do not engage in ignoble acts."

In order to prepare for the competition and to get know the japanese culture, we (most of our team) arrived two days earlier. So we took the time to walk around in Mito city and explore the surrounding. After a french breakfast we went to an arcade and played airhockey. We were quite surprised how many people were there at 10 o'clock in the morning fishing manga figures from thousands of toy grabber machines. Since it was raining all day we decided to vist the biggest shopping center in Mito. Slightly annoying christmas music on all 11 floors. After struggling to buy paper, an envelope and a stamp we stumbled upon a suspicious gadget: a beer foamer.
No idea, why you would use that.
For lunch we got some miso-soup at our favorite 7-eleven shop and "cooked" it in our "hotel room".
Well nourished by the way to salty soup we gave the climber a final check: Reparing damages caused by the flight, testing sensors and charging batteries.
In the evening we continued our culinary adventure at the McDonalds 100m from our hotel.
Exited about the first day of SPEC2017 tomorrow.

Q: Finding the value of $|DB| \cdot |DC|$
Given that $ABC$ is a triangle, $|AD|  = 9$, $|AB| = |AC| = 6$. Find the value of $|DB| \cdot |DC|$
Since $|AB| = |AC| = 6$, I thought that $|BC| = 6$. However, that truly seems to be wrong. Any helps will be appreciated.

A: This may be the simplest solution...

A: Let $M$ be the mid-point of $BC$, let $u = |DM|$, $v = |BM| = |CM|$ and $h = |AM|$.
Since $|AB| = |AC|$, $\triangle DAM$ and $\triangle BAM$ are right angled triangles. This leads to
$$u^2 + h^2 = |DA|^2 = 9^2\quad\text{ and }\quad v^2 + h^2 = |BA|^2 = 6^2$$
As a result,
$$|DB||DC| = (u-v)(u+v) = u^2 - v^2 = (u^2+h^2) - (v^2+h^2) = 9^2 - 6^2 = 45$$

A: Let $\angle ABC=\alpha$. Then in $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta ADB$, by the Law of Cosine, one has
$$ |AC|^2=|AB|^2+|BC|^2-2|AB||BC|\cos\alpha \tag{1}$$
and
$$ |AD|^2=|AB|^2+|DB|^2-2|AB||DB|\cos(180^\circ-\alpha). \tag{2}$$
From (1), one obtains
$$ \cos\alpha=\frac{|BC|}{12}\tag{3}$$
and from (2), one obtains
$$ \cos\alpha=\frac{45-|DB|^2}{12|DB|}.\tag{4}$$
Hence from (3) and (4), one has
$$ \frac{45-|DB|^2}{12|DB|}=\frac{|BC|}{12}\tag{3} $$
or
$$ |DB||BC|+|DB|^2=45 $$
which implies
$$ |DC||DB|=45. $$

President Trump's executive order seeking to halt federal funding to sanctuary cities contends that the main function of such jurisdictions is to protect "criminal aliens" from deportation, and warns ominously of a "public safety threat." The order also would have us believe that public safety would be enhanced if we expanded efforts to remove undocumented immigrants by enlisting local police in a mass deportation campaign.
Quite the opposite is true. Sanctuary jurisdictions — 39 cities and 364 counties across the country have policies that limit local law enforcement's involvement in enforcing federal immigration laws — increase public safety.
Trump's executive order effectively revives two highly controversial programs that aimed to enlist state and local police and sheriffs in immigration enforcement: the 287(g) program and Secure Communities. The 287(g) program deputized local and state police and sheriffs to serve as immigration agents and was phased out in the latter years of the Obama administration because of excessive costs and administrative inefficiency. Secure Communities required that people arrested and processed in county jails be screened for immigration violations, and it, too, was phased out during the Obama administration, as mounting evidence showed that the program encouraged racial profiling by local law enforcement.
Those responsible for maintaining law and order believe that sanctuary cities are an important tool for ensuring public safety. In a study published last year by the University of Chicago Press, "Policing Immigrants: Local Law Enforcement on the Front Lines," researchers interviewed more than 750 police chiefs and sheriffs across the country. In red states and blue states alike, a majority opposed programs like 287(g), expressed serious concerns about involving their officers in immigration enforcement and said that immigration enforcement should remain a federal responsibility.
[A recent study found that] in cities that partnered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, undocumented residents were anxious about contacting ... police.
In particular, a majority of the interviewees placed a high priority on gaining the trust of immigrants. They reported that in places where local police had been involved in immigration enforcement, immigrants were far more reluctant to contact the police if they were victims of, or witnesses to, a crime. A majority also said that involving local law enforcement in immigration enforcement significantly erodes this critical trust.
Around 9 million people are members of "mixed-status" families who have both undocumented and legal-resident members. If interaction with police can result in arrest and deportation, this population will be reluctant to report crimes, make official statements to police or testify in court. This undermines public safety for everyone, not just immigrants.
Additional evidence comes from another recent study, "Legal Passing: Navigating Undocumented Life and Local Immigration Law," forthcoming from the University of California Press, for which more than 100 undocumented immigrants in Southern California were interviewed. In the region's 21 sanctuary cities and counties, undocumented residents were generally willing to interact with police. Their fears revolved around potential retaliation for reporting gang-related activity, not deportation.
But in cities that partnered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, undocumented residents were anxious about contacting local police. One immigrant interviewed for the study had witnessed an attempted carjacking in a dimly lit parking lot. Although he disrupted the crime by shouting, he fled the scene when the victim called police, fearful that giving a statement would put him at risk of deportation.
Another rationale for Trump's attack on sanctuary cities is that their existence stimulates more undocumented immigration, but there is no evidence of such a magnet effect. Undocumented migrants, like the vast majority of immigrants in general, are drawn to the United States by economic opportunity and family ties. Some are fleeing gang and drug violence. None of these key drivers of migration would be weakened by the abolition of sanctuary cities.
Trump's rhetoric also presumes a strong link between undocumented immigrants and crime, but research consistently shows that immigrants are less likely than native-born citizens to commit crimes, including violent ones.
In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to legalization for most of today's undocumented population, sanctuary jurisdictions are an important tool for maintaining public safety. Punishing them fiscally and bullying their mayors and county executives into abandoning immigrant protections will sow fear among undocumented and mixed-status families, making them more reluctant to invest in homes, businesses and education. Meanwhile, very few are likely to "self-deport." Two-thirds have been living in the United States for more than 10 years and retain no economic base in their countries of origin, according to a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center.
We need immigration reform, but sanctuary cities are not the problem. Making undocumented immigrants feel more vulnerable serves no useful public purpose, however politically expedient it may be for President Trump.

Q: How to read a next frame using JavaCameraView after few seconds in android? I am creating an app which involves input from the camera (live video). I need to process each frame (live frame) and I need to display output in the same window. I am using JavaCameraView in Android. Here is part of the code.
 public Mat onCameraFrame(CameraBridgeViewBase.CvCameraViewFrame inputFrame){

framesRGBA = inputFrame.rgba();

Imgproc.cvtColor(framesRGBA, frameRGB, Imgproc.COLOR_RGBA2RGB);

String ch = HelloJNICPP.checkequal(assetManager,framesRGB.getNativeObjAddr(),resizeFrame.getNativeObjAddr());
        return resizeFrame;
    }

}

checkequal is JNI function which will do some processing.Actually, this function is taking 2 to 3 mins for a single frame. I need to process next frame once the previous frame is completed. I agree that I need to optimize the checkequal function. For time being I need to read next frame after 2 to 3 mins and to display it in the same javaCameraView. How to implement this? Is it Possible or Is there any other way ?


August 15, 2016 Lisa A.
Hi everyone! Oh how I absolutely loathe Mondays but what can I really do about them? Today I'm taking you back to 1998 with the British alternative rock band, Garbage. Garbage's "Version 2.0" album was one of my favorite albums as a teenager. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert in Las Cruces, New Mexico with No Doubt in 2002 or '03. I was attending New Mexico State University at the time. Their song, "Push It" motivates me to get out of bed and make the best out of life. I'm thinking of dragging myself to Starbucks before I go to work. I could really use a trenta-sized black iced tea with extra ice. I usually don't get sweet iced black tea but I'm strongly considering it this morning. I only treat myself to Starbucks once a month and I think today is the day! How about you? How do you deal with Mondays? Do you like them or loathe them like me? Have a great day, everyone or at least try to! I'll be back Tuesday with a Romantic Tuesday post.
This article explains the essence of rock music in an unpretentious way.
Ok! I just want to get this over with.
Maybe a little. By the way, I have heard of Garbage, though I'm not all that familiar with the music. I'll listen to your song at lunch time to see if I remember it.
Yea same here! Are you rubbing it in? Lol.
Loathe Mondays. But this week, Monday is Friday!
I find it is difficult to get up most mornings anyway – I am more of a night person.
That is definitely that sign that you are truly on the wrong place. I know you want to change your situation and I hope you can make it happen soon!
Hi, Lisa! Monday needs to come in order to get closer to the weekend again… I know, not really comforting… but you found a great song to get into gear! Have a great day, no matter what!!!

Modeling associated fluids using Tao and Mason's equation of state
Mohammad Mehdi Papari, Elham Hosseini Bab Anari and Jalil Moghadasi
The present work is devoted to applying modified Tao-Mason (mTM) equation of state (EOS) to highly associated fluids including water (H2O), amonia (NH3), methanol (CH3OH), and ethanol (C2H5OH). In order to simplify the TM EOS, some modifications were carried out. Further, in the present study, new version of the temperature-dependent parameters second virial coefficient (B2) was applied to the mTM. New equations have been proposed for other parameters appeared in the EOS. The calculations of thermodynamic properties of above-mentioned fluids using mTM cover the ranges from dilute vapor or gas to saturated and compressed liquid phase as well as supercritical region. The thermodynamic properties in questions are density, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity at constant pressure and constant volume, and also speed of sound. It is found that mTM EOS is capable of predicting thermodynamic properties of associated fluids in vapor and supercritical regions with acceptable accuracies.

JFK vs. Allen Dulles: Battleground Indonesia w/ Greg Poulgrain – Source – Parallax Views (03/24/2021)
On this edition of Parallax Views, the ouster of Indonesia's first President Sukarno in and Indonesia's transition to his successor Suharto's "New Order", a regime that murdered millions in the name of anti-communism, in the 1960s remains mired in mystery and controversy. The events that transpired on October 1st, 1965, which involved the assassination of six Indonesian Army generals by the 30 September Movement, have proven murky and enigmatic. The Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66 that followed were a horror show.
Who were all the players involved in and beneficiaries what ultimately became a coup against President Sukarno that allowed Suharto to take control of Jakarta and exercise a reign of terror against millions of Indonesian? What exactly transpired in the early hours of October 1st, 1965? What to make of potential U.S., specifically CIA, support of Sukarno's ouster?
Questions like these have fascinated previous guests that have appeared on Parallax Views. Specifically, Prof. Peter Dale Scott, author of the long-form poem Coming to Jakarta, and journalist Vincent Bevins, author of The Jakarta Method, have both appeared on the program to discuss this haunting story.
Now, Greg Poulgrain, Brisbane, Australia-based lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, joins us to discuss this chilling case. Poulgrain has written a number of books related to this period in Indonesian history and U.S. foreign policy's relation to it including The Genesis of Konfrontasi: Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia, 1945-1965 and The Incubus of Intervention: Conflicting Indonesia Strategies of John F. Kennedy and Allen Dulles. Poulgrain has continued his exploration of this period with his latest book JFK vs. Allen Dulles: Battleground Indonesia. He joins us on this edition of the program to discuss this latest work and to illuminate the shadows that lurk within the story of Sukarno's ouster and Indonesia's transition to Suharto's "New Order". It's a story that involves CIA spymaster Allen Dulles and President John F. Kennedy, the Rockefeller dynasty's Standard Oil Company, the international intrigue of geopolitics, the Cold War and the Sino-Soviet split, Freeport mining and a discovery of gold that remained a secret to many for years, and much, much more.

If you have invested in Bitcoin or planning to invest you must read it. Indian government's and Banks are taking strict action on bitcoin exchanges and bitcoin users. Many top banks have suspended or limited functionality on bitcoin exchange accounts. State Bank of India (SBI), Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Yes Bank have all taken strong action toward crypto exchanges, either closing accounts or severely limiting functionality.
The Indian government has repeatedly issued warnings over the use of digital currencies such as bitcoin. Back in 2013, India's central bank, that Reserve Bank of India (RBI), issued its first warning about the potential misuse of cryptocurrencies, which was later reiterated last February.
We cannot turn a blind eye. It would have been disastrous to wait until the final verdict was out on its legality.
Balakrishnan said that details about investors total holdings and their source of funds was asked for. This is because people were not reflecting it on their tax returns with the investment not accounted for in many cases. This can be the case of black money as well.

Racial Traits
The description of each race includes racial traits that are common to members of that race. The following entries appear among the traits of most races.
Ability Score Increase
Every race increases one or more of a character's ability scores.
The age entry notes the age when a member of the race is considered an adult, as well as the race's expected lifespan. This information can help you decide how old your character is at the start of the game. You can choose any age for your character, which could provide an explanation for some of your ability scores. For example, if you play a young or very old character, your age could explain a particularly low Strength or Constitution score, while advanced age could account for a high Intelligence or Wisdom.
Most races have tendencies toward certain alignments, described in this entry. These are not binding for player characters, but considering why your dwarf is chaotic, for example, in defiance of lawful dwarf society can help you better define your character.
Characters of most races are Medium, a size category including creatures that are roughly 4 to 8 feet tall. Members of a few races are Small (between 2 and 4 feet tall), which means that certain rules of the game affect them differently. The most important of these rules is that Small characters have trouble wielding heavy weapons, as explained in "Equipment."
Your speed determines how far you can move when traveling ("Adventuring") and fighting ("Combat").
By virtue of your race, your character can speak, read, and write certain languages.
Subraces
Some races have subraces. Members of a subrace have the traits of the parent race in addition to the traits specified for their subrace. Relationships among subraces vary significantly from race to race and world to world.

RIP: Dame Elizabeth Taylor
March 23, 2011 · by Anne Caroline Drake · in Life Rafts. ·
Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr. and Elizabeth Taylor
Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away today from congestive heart failure. I was stunned to hear that her 205 day first marriage to Conrad "Nicky" Hilton. Jr. (Paris Hilton's great-uncle) had been emotionally and physically abusive. According to People Magazine, she said in her 1988 autobiography Elizabeth Takes Off on Self-Esteem and Self-Image that during their honeymoon he:
. . .became sullen, angry and abusive, physically and mentally.
In her obituary, the Washington Post reported her reflections on this marriage:
I've been able to wear plunging necklines since I was 14 years old, and ever since then, people have expected me to act as old as I look. My troubles all started because I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.
She passed away 53 years and one day after Mike Todd, perhaps her most beloved husband, was killed in a plane crash.
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra
I was a very impressionable freshman in high school when Cleopatra was released. The drama of her marriages to her "soul mate" Richard Burton enthralled me. And, those diamonds. OMG.
Elizabeth Taylor. . .on every level, was a mensch. Kind, generous, brave, and loyal.
– Jane Fonda
Dame Elizabeth Taylor Was a Survivor
Dame Taylor hated being called "Liz." She was hospitalized over 70 times during her lifetime. The New York Times in their obituary called her a "survivor:"
In a lifetime of emotional and physical setbacks, serious illnesses and accidents, and several near-death experiences, Ms. Taylor was a survivor. "I've been lucky all my life," she said just before turning 60. "Everything was handed to me. Looks, fame, wealth, honors, love. I rarely had to fight for anything. But I've paid for that luck with disasters." At 65, she said on the ABC program "20/20": "I'm like a living example of what people can go through and survive. I'm not like anyone. I'm me."
We have just lost a Hollywood giant.
More importantly, we have lost an incredible human being.
– Elton John
Dame Elizabeth Taylor Was a Loyal Friend and Fierce Advocate
After her friend and co-star Rock Hudson was infected with AIDS, she became a fierce advocate for those with the disease. Her work garnered a special Oscar in 1993: the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. She asked the audience to join her quest:
I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being ~ to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.
I've been through it all, baby. I'm Mother Courage.
– Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor with her children on her 75th birthday
Dame Taylor is survived by her sons Michael and Christopher Wilding; her daughters Liza Todd-Tivey and Maria Burton-Carson; 10 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Her son Michael Wilding issued a statement:
My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humour, and love.
The most extensive 0n-line obituary was posted today by MSNBC. If you click on the links in this post, you will find extensive international coverage of Dame Taylor's life and legend.

Calculating Returns
Definition of Marginal Rate of Return
by Courtney Ryan & Reviewed by Ashley Donohoe, MBA - Updated February 12, 2019
Businesses use many financial indicators to monitor profitability. Of these, the marginal rate of return is one of the most valuable tools for a company to determine the most profitable level of production. Relatively simple to calculate and to understand, the indicator conveys a wealth of knowledge in one easy number.
The marginal rate of return refers to how much revenue per extra item a company can expect to gain for each extra dollar more it spends on its production costs.
Defining Marginal Rate of Return
Technically, the marginal rate of return is the marginal return, or the amount of revenue per additional item, divided by marginal cost (the cost per additional item produced). In other words, it's the amount of additional revenue that a business can expect to earn per each additional dollar that it spends on production. Using marginal rate of return, a company can determine whether or not its operations are profitable.
Calculating Marginal Rate of Return
First, calculate the marginal return, or the additional revenue brought in from one additional unit of production. In most cases, the marginal return (or marginal revenue) is equal to the selling price of the item. A company receives the dollar amount of the price in new revenue by producing that one item.
Second, calculate the marginal cost, or what a company must spend to produce an additional unit. The marginal cost would include all the variable expenses that go into producing that additional unit, such as extra materials or hours or labor.
Finally, divide the marginal revenue by the marginal cost to get your marginal rate of return. For instance, if a good has a price, or marginal revenue, of $50, and a marginal cost to produce of $10, then the marginal rate of return is five ($50/$10).
Using This Decision-Making Tool
Marginal rate of return becomes most powerful when it's used as a decision-making tool. As long as a marginal rate of return is greater than one, a company can make a profit by producing one additional unit. Because marginal rate of return tends to decrease as more and more units are produced, a company will maximize its profits by expanding production until its marginal rate is one.
Basically, this is where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. If a company produces beyond this point, the marginal rate of return drops below one, and the company will be spending more per each additional item than it is bringing in in revenue.
Exploring Individual Applications
Marginal rate of return is not only applicable to business decisions; it's also a valuable tool in any individual's decision-making process. For instance, you could use marginal rate of return to determine the best investments for your retirement savings. Also, marginal rate of return doesn't always have to be expressed in dollars or some other currency. For example, you could use a rough calculation of marginal rate of return to determine how to best spend your free time: What activity brings you the most enjoyment at the least cost?

Chicago Turmoil Inspires Other Illinois Cities to Challenge Airbnb
Sophia Tareen, Associated Press
- Jun 20, 2016 5:00 pm
Now, even smaller U.S. cities and towns are pushing back against disruptive Airbnb rentals.
Chicago and Airbnb have battled for months over the proposed tightening of short-term rental rules in the nation's third largest city, but the debate has also quietly rippled out into some of the smaller communities across Illinois.
From creatively interpreting existing laws to near-bans on the burgeoning industry, the cities are finding their own ways to either generate new revenues or simply quell complaints about rowdy out-of-towners.
When a noisy Super Bowl house party at a rental in the tranquil Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood prompted neighborhood complaints last year, officials rewrote their laws to discourage rentals shorter than 30 days. Officials said they prioritized maintaining the character of the community of roughly 12,500 people over the potential tourist revenue short-term rentals might bring.
"I doubt people are coming in just to vacation in Lincolnwood, though I'd love it if that happened," said Village Manager Tim Wiberg.
Lincolnwood homeowners can now rent out for less than 30 days only once per calendar year, which Wiberg said avoids revolving door visitors while accommodating families who need to stay close to schools during a house renovation or anyone requiring suburban living during a short-term work assignment.
However, the suburb also doesn't have many resources to enforce the rules, something echoed elsewhere.
Urbana didn't propose new restrictions after residents griped about visitors cycling in and out of one home. Instead, officials looked to existing zoning laws and rules governing hotels and bed and breakfasts. Depending on the type of rental, Urbana requires registration and a $50 fee or a zoning permit.
Officials periodically scan listings to check for violations, though they acknowledge they don't always have the staff. According to Airbnb's website, there are about 150 Urbana rentals available.
"We do spot checks," said Community Development Director Libby Tyler. "But people are very good about complaining."
Meanwhile, a Springfield alderman has raised quality-of-life issues with summertime sublets around the capital city's lake. Evanston beefed up rules on rentals of less than 30 days. And Wilmette has sought public input on short-term rentals.
The online listing companies have focused their energy on fighting restrictions in Chicago, where the stakes are much higher and where city officials estimate there are roughly 6,000 rental units through sites like HomeAway and Airbnb.
Chicago's push to regulate short-term rentals follows efforts in major cities including San Francisco. Chicago aldermen who want restrictions have said short-term rentals have created issues in some of the city's livelier neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park, where partying visitors have created defacto hotels. They described it as a threat to neighborhood identity and the long-term rental market, and hotel associations are concerned about dwindling revenues.
After a five-hour hearing last month, Mayor Rahm Emanuel shelved the plan for a month to address concerns.
Airbnb officials argue their services boost neighborhood spending and provide other economic benefits, which are key themes in ads the company has been running on television and the radio as both sides negotiate.
The latest draft is expected before city council members this week. Among other things, it would impose fees on short-term rentals, including a 4 percent surcharge that would generate an estimated $2 million for homeless services. It would also require companies to share data on renters with the city.
Some who use the companies to rent out extra space are concerned about new regulations.
Mark Brouwer said he traveled the country by staying in Airbnb rentals, including stops along California's coast. The yoga teacher says the services have been a great option.
"I've never felt comfortable staying in hotels. It's very standardized," he said. "I really enjoy the adventure of staying in people's homes and meeting new people."
He rents out one unit of his two-flat on the Chicago's far North Side, and said he's worried about the potential of the city invading his privacy with data collection.
Laura Schofield, a mother of four in the city's Humboldt Park neighborhood, said renting a room in her home for around $50 a night helps her make ends meet after a divorce. She also waitresses and is worried about it becoming harder to advertise her rental.
"We're just scraping by," she said. "Something flexible like this, it's fantastic for me. I honestly don't think I'd know what I'd do without it."

Q: How to put comma in a number excel I have two numbers : 7,8 and 6,8.
When I multiply these numbers I get #VALUE!. I know, this happens because excel thinks, these numbers are strings because of the comma. But i cannot use separator . (point) because in my task, numbers are with , (comma). I tried different number functions, but all of them converts numbers with point (eg. 7.8 , 6.8). What I need to do? Thanks for advices.

A: To multiply them as whole numbers, use:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","")*SUBSTITUTE(B1,",","")

to display 5304.  To multiply as decimal fractionals, use:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",".")*SUBSTITUTE(B1,",",".")

to display 53.04

A: Go to Advanced Options

*

*Deselect "Use System Separators"

*Fill in comma for decimal and space for thousands

Now you can do it:

This will make the change for all Excel documents.
An alternative, which will make the change throughout your system, would be to change your Windows Regional settings the same way.  Be sure to change both number and currency if you do that.

Over the past three years, Hands Across the Sea's Caribbean Literacy and School Support (CLASS) program has shipped over 50,900 books and 88 boxes of art supplies and teaching resources to 12,750 students at 52 schools, and eight libraries and community reading programs in seven English-speaking Eastern Caribbean countries. Hands acquires books from private donors, from school community service groups, and by buying them new through various sources and "nearly new" at Friends of the Library sales throughout New England. The books are sorted and packed by volunteers and shipped via our generous Hands corporate supporters, AIT Worldwide and Tropical Shipping, to school principals in the Caribbean. Working directly with local teachers, school principals, U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers, local NGOs and community leaders, Hands Across the Sea is helping to promote literacy, classrooms that are more conducive to learning, and the opportunity to explore art in under-resourced Caribbean villages — which often lie just over the fence from four-star hotels and resorts.
To make sure that the books and teaching supplies have reached their Caribbean destinations and are being properly utilized, Hands Across the Sea co-founders T.L. and Harriet Linskey visit recipient schools and communities from December through May. The visits give Hands the opportunity to work on school improvement projects and to enlist cruising sailor volunteers to support local communities. In addition to books and resources, Hands has supplied classrooms with special "reading corners," bookshelves for classroom libraries, and most recently built a literacy center and refurbished the school library in an underserved secondary school on the island of Dominica. We are rewarded by group hugs and smiling children and teachers who are thrilled to have high-quality, near-new books!

A woman from Arunachal Pradesh, who had a miscarriage, was harassed by a police officer when she and her family were on their way to finish medical procedures and cremate the foetus, her sister has alleged.
In a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner, the woman said her sister suffered a miscarriage and the unborn child was handed to the family on March 23.
However, while they were returning with the foetus, they were stopped by a police sub-inspector and were detained at the police station, despite presenting the necessary documents, the complaint said.
The woman also claimed that the family had attempted to register a complaint over the alleged harassment at a police station in Dwarka but it was not registered.
She demanded action against the police officials for alleged "harassment" and refusal to accept a complaint.
According to the police, a security guard had informed them about the presence of a foetus in Dwarka Sector-12 Market, prompting an inquiry.
The foetus was handed over to a doctor and after necessary medical procedures was cremated by the family.
