RômuloPB, ou RómuloPE, oficialmente (87) Sílvia I Rômulo, é a lua exterior e maior de Sílvia que está localizado no cinturão principal de asteroides, para não ser confundido com o asteroide 10386 Rômulo que órbita diretamente o Sol. Segue-se uma órbita quase circular próxima do equador ao redor do asteroide pai. A este respeito, é semelhante à outra lua Remo.

Descoberta
Rômulo foi descoberto no dia 18 de fevereiro de 2001 através do telescópio Keck II, por Michael E. Brown e Jean-Luc Margot.

Nome
A sua designação completa é (87) Sílvia I Rômulo; antes de receber seu nome, ele era conhecido como S/2001 (87) 1. A lua tem o nome de Rômulo, o fundador mitológico de Roma, um dos filhos gêmeos de Reia Sílvia criados por um lobo.

Características físicas
87 Sílvia tem uma densidade baixa, o que indica que ele é provavelmente uma pilha de escombros formados quando os restos de uma colisão entre a seu corpo-mãe e outro asteroide acrescentados gravitacionalmente. Por isso, é provável que ambos Rômulo e Remo, a segunda das luas de Sílvia, são pilhas de escombros menores, que acrescidos em órbita ao redor do corpo principal dos restos da mesma colisão. Neste caso, o seu albedo e densidade são esperados para ser semelhantes aos de Sílvia.

A órbita de Rômulo deverá ser bastante estável — ela está muito dentro da esfera de Hill de —Sílvia, mas também muito fora da órbita síncrona.

O satélite tem um diâmetro com cerca de 18 quilômetros, orbita a uma distância de 1356 ± 5 quilômetros, levando 3,6496 ± 0,0007 dias (87,59 h) para completar uma órbita ao redor de Sílvia.

MGFL believes that the de-monetization scheme will lead Unorganized gold loans to shift towards the organized segment. Also, 2/3rd of customers have already moved to online gold product facility making the demonetization impact negligible. The impact of demonetization is expected to be visible in Q3 FY17 for at least for 10-12 days which should impact both disbursals (although 50% are disbursed through NEFT/online) as well as collections. We thus expect 3Q to be a soft quarter, however long term prospects remains intact. We value MGFL at FY18E P/BV multiple of 2.5x to arrive at target price of Rs.102 and continue to have BUY rating.


We are just 80 days away from Star Wars Celebration Chicago, where everyone expects to see a lot of footage and learn new info about Disney's upcoming Star Wars projects, especially the closing chapter, the grand finale of the Skywalker saga – Episode IX. In recent months, Richard E Grant, a newcomer to the galaxy far, far away, has been one of the few sources for little bits of information about the movie. Now the actor gave another hint in an interview about the character he is playing in the film.
This article had a different title, which was a bit misleading so we changed it. It was "Richard E Grant Hints He is Playing a Familiar Character in Star Wars: Episode IX". I am all to be blamed here. I read a little bit too much in Grant's comments and saw something that isn't there. I agree with some of the comments that Grant just expressed his excitement when it was revealed to him he will be in Star Wars. And the way he expressed that he "thought" Abrams told him his character name really shows that it doesn't matter what that name is to him. So apologies for the confusion. There still maybe something here but I don't want to raise people's expectations and mislead them. Let's move on.
First, let me remind you that a few months ago Grant was a guest on Josh Horowitz' podcast Happy, Sad, Confused, where the actor gave brief details about his audition for the movie and his initial meeting with J.J. Abrams about the role.
Back then Grant revealed that he auditioned together with Daisy Ridley and that they used a 10-page script of an interrogation scene clearly set in the 1940s. This made a lot of us to speculate that he will be most likely playing a First Order officer who will probably interrogate Daisy Ridley's character Rey at some point in the film.
And at this point the room went upside-down and I'm sure he was telling me in detail what part I was playing and what the character is called.
When Grant arrived he was ushered into a room with Abrams and the new trilogy's heroine, Daisy Ridley: "Surrounded by all this Star Wars memorabilia going back to 1977. And within about two seconds, he said, 'Are you gonna do it or not?' And I said, 'Do what?' Then he described the part, and I think he told me what my name was, at which point the room went upside down. In what appears to be a degree of physical discomfort, Grant stops himself from saying anything more. In the grand old Star Wars tradition, the entire cast has been sworn to secrecy, at least until the trailer and title of the forthcoming Episode IX are revealed in April.
As you can see in the first interview, Grant revealed that "the room went upside down" while stopping shy of revealing what his character will be called. In the new interview it seems the main reason for this excitement was actually the name of the character, which led us to believe that he will be playing a well known character from the Star Wars universe.
Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that we met his character before. It could be just someone related to someone we know.
It's worth mentioning that after the first interview from a few months ago, many fans speculated that Grant could be playing the movie version of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a Legends character that was revived in the new Star Wars canon with his appearance on Dave Filoni's animation show Star Wars Rebels, and a few new canon novels by author Timothy Zahn, who introduced the character back in 1991 with his Thrawn trilogy. Even though the actor liked a few fan tweets with this speculation, later during an interview with Radio Times, Grant directly stated that he is not playing Thrawn in Star Wars: Episode IX, squashing all rumors and speculations.
Star Wars: Episode IX is in its final stages of filming, which could soon lead to a title reveal and more details about the movie. The movie opens in theaters on December 20, 2019.


11 or 12.9 Pro ?
Discussion in 'iPad' started by George Dawes, Oct 31, 2018.
Which is the best iPad Pro ?
I can't decide which one to get - can you help me make up my mind ?
Getting the 11" iPad Pro is like getting a slighter bigger iPad Pro 10.5 from last year.
The size is same but slightly bigger screen.
The big advantage is with 12.9". When compared to older 12.9" iPad Pro the new one is smaller with the same screen size.
So generally speaking it is the one most people will be ordering since you get a big screen with a smaller form factor.

I suggest trying them both a lot in store if you can. A few years back I was dead set on the 10.5" at first but after using it side by side with the 12.9" I started favoring the bigger model. It's better for multitasking and offers a more desktop like experience. Obviously nicer for watching videos too.

Yes 12.9" is best for multitasking.
Also great for notes and drawing.
strategicthinke, StumpJumper, George Dawes and 1 other person like this.
I just ordered a 12.9" and based on shipping estimates it seems the 12.9" is the more popular choice (here in the UK at least). Delivery estimate is already pushed out to 20 November on the early end, so I will go to a store next week and check them out in person to confirm my size choice. Gives me time to cancel the order in the unlikely event I decide I prefer the 10.5". I am not the type of person who orders both sizes knowing I will only be keeping one.
Currently have the 10.5, and previously had the 12.9 and 9.7 Pro.
Initially ordered the 12.9 as wanted to go back to the larger screen, however I use my 10.5 so much at the moment walking around the office and other branches, taking notes on OneNote, marking up PDFs, and pulling up information from our system. Even with reduced bezel I still think the 12.9 will be too large for working like this (especially as my note taking is in portrait with iPad in one hand, pencil in the other)/ Also significant is still the weight difference. Virtually 1lb for the 11, 1.4lb for the 12.9 (40% heavier).
Therefore reconsidered and cancelled the 12.9 and ordered the 11". Sure I'll miss the extra screen real estate, but at 12.9" it virtually the same size as my MacBook Pro - so I may as well use that instead.
Depends how you take your notes. Yes if sat at a desk it's better, however if walking around an office taking notes, giving presentations, the 11" is better for note taking imo. Far lighter and easier to hold in one hand, with pencil in the other.

I originally ordered an 11", but now i've also ordered a 12.9" from Best Buy. I think I'm going to go 12.9".
My main thing was finding out that Apple still didn't change the size classes on the 11" - so when two apps are split 50/50 they are still using iPhone size UI's and not iPad size like the 12.9". That was the one thing I missed from my short time with the original 12.9", it just makes it feel like much more of a desktop level experience.
missyagogo, jgelin, SHKLMRE and 1 other person like this.
I went with the 11 inch. I was hoping for a significant drop in weight for the 12.9, but it's apparently the same. The price is just too high and I like the extreme mobility of the 11. I could easily see myself having both one day. One for desk use, and one for mobile.
There's definitely a change with the size classes on the 11". This video (screenshot attached) shows the 11" with the mail app open on the left, and the message app open on the right. The mail app shows the full mail, as well as the mailboxes on the left. My 10.5" doesn't do this - it just shows the mailboxes as a slideover.

Similar to iPhone's and the Plus/Max models.
I hadn't seen this. Yea it's definitely different than my 10.5. It should be interesting to see how everything works on the new models.
nortonandreev and Roganjosh01 like this.
The original 12.9 inch is the only Apple device I've ever returned..... loved the screen but it just wasn't practical to use as a 'mobile' device when travelling etc. The 10.5 I have now has been excellent and is a great size.
The idea of the bigger screen in smaller footprint is still very appealing (a bit like plus sized phones) and so I decided to order both sizes to try and will return one of them!
The reviews I've read post event are very encouraging re the size/handling of the 12.9 and so I suspect this is the one I will keep.
I considered doing the same, when I saw the 12.9's weight hadn't been reduced, I decided it wasn't for me. Plus, that price, ouch.
vespagirl and jimmy_uk like this.
I am still waffling. I have a 15" MBP and the iPhone XS Max so I was thinking the 11" would be a good "in between" for those. I used to own a 12.9 and am wondering if the 11 is going to be too small - but I don't want it to be redundant to my MBP. Thoughts?
(Edit: I already purchased the 11" through Best Buy last night but am trying to decide whether to switch that o the 12.9, but the $200 difference is also a consideration).
jacklivehere, MrXiro, HeatherA and 3 others like this.
iPad 11" is what I'm buying.
My friend has the 12.9 and just way too big, even with the reduced bezel, it's too heavy. I can almost guarantee I'm not going to like it. The 11" is perfect for traveling and using in public without feeling like I'm wielding a giant book.
I'll be getting the keyboard and pen too. Admittedly, the keyboard for the larger model is easier to use, although I think I can adjust to the 11"
The USB-C (3.1 gen 2) is going to be nice. Need to see if it will work with my GH5.
NO headphone jack...lol. Buy the EarPods.
LOVE my iPad mini, but just too small for real world stuff.
I had 12.9" for note taking purposes. I walked around a lot with it and whipped it out to take notes at a moment's notice. It was too big and heavy. I used it for about a year.
I switched to 10.5" eventually. At first I missed the bigger screen but it's so much more convenient to carry around. I got adjusted to the smaller screen. It's not that small anyway. I realized mobility is a fairly big factor for me. I did not hesitate on getting 11" this time.
Interesting, I'm hoping someone with review units will try it out (Or has tried it out.) In that case though it is the 75/25 split which does seem to have changed for the better, but I'm referring to the 50/50 which on the 12.9" gives you two full size portrait iPad layouts side by side. In the Xcode simulator I tried it just gave me iPhone views on the 11".

Something to consider is that the 11" aspect ratio stretched horizontally and became better for 16:9,18:9, and 21:9 aspect ratio media. You get a 15% increase in area for 16:9 content over the 10.5" Pro. You're basically getting a taller display this time with the 11" and as a result the increased area is only 7.75% over the 10.5" Not even close to the 17.5% increase the 10.5" gave over the 9.7".

If— by Rudyard Kipling

Why does the poet call 'triumph' and 'disaster' impostors?
Vikash Lata | Certified Educator
write161 answers
starTop subject is Literature
"Triumph" and "disaster" are two opposite situations of life. One confronts both in his or her life. Both are fleeting in nature as neither of these two lasts forever.
By "triumph," the poet means moments of success and accomplishment in life, while by "disaster," he implies the time of failure or loss. It's human nature to celebrate and jubilate at time of success and victory. In a similar way, disaster brings in frustration and despair.
The father is an experienced man and has grasped the fleeting nature of both triumph and disaster. Therefore, he suggests his son that he shouldn't get carried away by either of the two.
They are "impostors." Both "triumph" and "disaster" seem to last forever when they visit us, but, actually, they pass away soon with time.
If one gets carried away with triumph, it may make him or her conceited and condescending. After success, he or she might find it unbearable to face failures in life.
Similarly, disaster or failures, too, might lead to utter frustration. If one loses his or her spirits and gets despaired, it would make things much worse and extremely difficult to overcome such tough moments.
The poet seems to have seen life closely. He has understood that both "triumph" and "disaster" follow each other incessantly. The best way to deal with these two opposing situations is to remain equanimous and consider these two as "impostors."
By doing so, one can remain happy in all situations. If one treats both "triumph" and "disaster" as "impostors," he or she would never be deceived by either of the two.

It seems that the news is constantly filled with terrible, life-changing tragedies. I don't know if it is that I'm paying more attention to the news in general now, but each day it seems that we wake up to more devastation.
At times tears stream down my face. My heart breaks for the families, for the victims. At other times, I lean towards despair as my heart cries out out to the Lord about what the world is coming to. And there are times that my heart beats with an inner fear as I answer my children's questions with things like, "Yes, I believe ISIS is in Canada too. We need to pray for them and pray for our leaders." My words are calm but my heart isn't always.
And the children and I talked about how God isn't in heaven wringing his hands and wondering what is to become of His world. He knows, He knew, He allows, He has a plan. Despite the overwhelming wrong in the world, it's His world.
Being reminded of these truths doesn't change or calm the world, but they change and calm my heart.

Lauder's Scotch Whisky first appeared in 1834. The original blend was developed by Archibald Lauder soon after the distilling of whisky was made legal. So successful was Lauder that his very precise blend was soon awarded several gold medals in international competitions, and these can still be seen today on the bottle label. As then, Lauder's is made from the finest Highland, Lowland and Speyside malts, matured in oak barrels and blended together for a light, yet fruity and full-bodied Scotch.
Taste: The nose has notes of apples and pears, while it offers a mild grain and dry fruit palate. It finishes with a taste of slight tobacco and spices.
Ingredients: Grain Scotch whisky, malt Scotch whisky, demineralised water, caramel (E 150a).

If "gbc" is garbage collection, I am wondering if there is some parameter that can be set for building the system using a larger heap so that their are fewer - or no - garbage collections.

Omnibus (British TV series)
(Redirected from Omnibus (UK TV series))
Omnibus is an arts-based British documentary series, broadcast mainly on BBC 1 in the United Kingdom. The programme was the successor to the arts-based series Monitor.
BBC1/BBC One(1967-2001)
BBC Two (2001-2003)
13 October 1967 (1967-10-13) –
8 January 2003 (2003-01-08)
It ran from 1967 until 2003, usually being transmitted on Sunday evenings. During its 35-year history, the programme won 12 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards.
Among the series' best remembered documentaries are Cracked Actor (1975), a profile of David Bowie during the peak of his cocaine addiction; Rene Magritte (1979), a graduate film by David Wheatley;[1]Van Gogh (1991); Anna Benson-Gyles Madonna: Behind the American dream (1990), a film produced by Nadia Hagger; and a profile of British film director Ridley Scott (1992).
For one season in 1982, the series was in a magazine format presented by Barry Norman.[2]
In 2001, the BBC announced that the programme was being switched to BBC Two, prompting accusations that the Corporation was further marginalising its arts programming.[3] BBC controller of arts commissioning Roly Keating defended the move, saying "the documentary strand will be able to tackle a wider range of subjects."[3] Regarded as its "flagship arts programme", Omnibus was one of only two regular arts platforms broadcast at the time by the BBC.
In late 2002, the BBC announced that Omnibus would be cancelled the following year,[4] to be replaced by the arts series Imagine, hosted by Alan Yentob.

Now in its third year The Bureau's Save Our Scripts initiative opened its call for script submissions yesterday (Monday 18 March 2013). New writers and producers can apply for a 7-month programme of education and development. During the programme, writers will develop a feature length screenplay and established producers will fast track their development experience.
SOS is a development training program. It was born as an opportunity for writers and producers to meet and collaborate in a uniquely creative environment. As well as developing specific scripts, and building development skills the scheme aims to connect emerging writers and producers from across the UK with one another and with established professionals of the European Film Industry. Though we focus on working with British talent, we encourage their connection to a wider European industry through our international speakers and by traveling out of the country for one of the three workshops.
Creative Skillset continues its support of the training, whilst SOS welcomes new partnerships with The London Film School, Three Mills Studios, and the Genova-Liguria Film Commission.
The programme is searching for emerging writers with confident, singular voices, and producers with clear ambition who want to build on their development skills.
The programme is built around three workshops one of which will be a residential in Genova. During the programme the writers will develop a feature length screenplay from a short outline, with the ongoing support of the SOS mentors, and their fellow participants. The producers will partake in the final two workshops, and through seminars, group discussions and project specific work, will learn a range of development skills and approaches.
SOS is based on the value of shared experience. This begins with the course mentors, but continues amongst the participants themselves, and from the programme's exceptional guest speakers.
The programme mentors are Valentina Brazzini who is responsible for development and talent tracking at The Bureau, Tristan Goligher the producer of Weekend and currently the Executive Producer of iFeatures2, and finally Matthieu de Braconier co-producer of London River and formerly executive producer of the prestigious Cinema Extreme short film scheme.
Past speakers include Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire), Joe Penhall (The Road), Hanif Kureishi (Venus), Thomas Bidegain and Pascal Caucheteux (A Prophet), and Michel Reilhac (Arte).

Online viewing makes inexorable transit to mobile
| 19 July 2014
A new report from Hub Entertainment Research has revealed the clear and almost unstoppable momentum of multiscreen TV usage and the rising popularity of TV everywhere.
In fact, the annual What's TV Worth study found that TV everywhere was growing, despite a general lack of universal consensus to what it actually meant.
Fundamentally the survey revealed that computers's pre-eminence in watching online TV was maintained and remaining the first port of call for watching online TV. Yet the research also provided suggestions that online viewing is beginning to shift away from computers and towards mobile devices and smart TVs.
Indeed Hub's data revealed that almost three-fifths (59%) of consumers with broadband Internet access say they use a computer to view TV shows online, a three percentage point slippage year on year. At the same time, use of tablets increased from 23% in 2013 to 27% in 2014 while for smartphones there was a two point year on year uptick to 23%. Smart TVs showed similar growth to 13%.
As for TV everywhere, 43% of those who used it did so several times a week or more, while a further 30% said that it represented excellent value for money.Just more than three-fifths said that TV everywhere actually made them feel more positive about their TV service provider. Yet 38% of those who watch authenticated content from an MVPD or network say they've never heard of the term TV everywhere.

APPROVED, July 14, 1798.
[Virginia Resolution]
RESOLVED, That the General Assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocably express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of this State, against every aggression either foreign or domestic, and that they will support the government of the United States in all measures warranted by the former.
That this assembly most solemnly declares a warm attachment to the Union of the States, to maintain which it pledges all its powers; and that for this end, it is their duty to watch over and oppose every infraction of those principles which constitute the only basis of that Union, because a faithful observance of them, can alone secure it's existence and the public happiness.
That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.
That the General Assembly doth also express its deep regret, that a spirit has in sundry instances, been manifested by the federal government, to enlarge its powers by forced constructions of the constitutional charter which defines them; and that implications have appeared of a design to expound certain general phrases (which having been copied from the very limited grant of power, in the former articles of confederation were the less liable to be misconstrued) so as to destroy the meaning and effect, of the particular enumeration which necessarily explains and limits the general phrases; and so as to consolidate the states by degrees, into one sovereignty, the obvious tendency and inevitable consequence of which would be, to transform the present republican system of the United States, into an absolute, or at best a mixed monarchy.
That the General Assembly doth particularly protest against the palpable and alarming infractions of the Constitution, in the two late cases of the "Alien and Sedition Acts" passed at the last session of Congress; the first of which exercises a power no where delegated to the federal government, and which by uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of executive, subverts the general principles of free government; as well as the particular organization, and positive provisions of the federal constitution; and the other of which acts, exercises in like manner, a power not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary, expressly and positively forbidden by one of the amendments thererto; a power, which more than any other, ought to produce universal alarm, because it is levelled against that right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon, which has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right.
That this state having by its Convention, which ratified the federal Constitution, expressly declared, that among other essential rights, "the Liberty of Conscience and of the Press cannot be cancelled, abridged, restrained, or modified by any authority of the United States," and from its extreme anxiety to guard these rights from every possible attack of sophistry or ambition, having with other states, recommended an amendment for that purpose, which amendment was, in due time, annexed to the Constitution; it would mark a reproachable inconsistency, and criminal degeneracy, if an indifference were now shewn, to the most palpable violation of one of the Rights, thus declared and secured; and to the establishment of a precedent which may be fatal to the other.
That the good people of this commonwealth, having ever felt, and continuing to feel, the most sincere affection for their brethren of the other states; the truest anxiety for establishing and perpetuating the union of all; and the most scrupulous fidelity to that constitution, which is the pledge of mutual friendship, and the instrument of mutual happiness; the General Assembly doth solemenly appeal to the like dispositions of the other states, in confidence that they will concur with this commonwealth in declaring, as it does hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid, are unconstitutional; and that the necessary and proper measures will be taken by each, for co-operating with this state, in maintaining the Authorities, Rights, and Liberties, referred to the States respectively, or to the people.
That the Governor be desired, to transmit a copy of the foregoing Resolutions to the executive authority of each of the other states, with a request that the same may be communicated to the Legislature thereof; and that a copy be furnished to each of the Senators and Representatives representing this state in the Congress of the United States.
Agreed to by the Senate, December 24, 1798.
kcjohnson9 said, on February 15, 2009 at 3.39pm
Critics of Madison from the time argued that the Bill of Rights didn't faithfully reflect the criticisms of the Constitution made in the ratification process–that Madison had "gutted" the proposed Bill of Rights, and come up with a weak alternative that fulfilled the Federalist agenda. Was that criticism fair?
Matt Vadala said, on February 17, 2009 at 3.25am
The amendments do uphold the Federalist agenda by allowing a strong union to be born under the Constitution. However, Madison did feel that the demand for the amendments were only an agenda by the Anti-Federalists and did not want to succumb to their pressures. There are rights which Madison expressly wanted such as the press and speech freedoms in the First Amendment. However it is difficult to tell whether or not Madison actually diluted the strength of the amendments in anyway without a comparison to look at.
Allen Korman said, on February 17, 2009 at 12.29pm
In some ways it is a fair critiicism. Madison felt that the Constitution ,as written, was sufficient in protecting individual liberties. That to list certain rights, would leave the door open for people to be denied rights that were not listed. The "Bill of Rights" that Madison proposed was a condensed version of the rights that states had written into their Constitutions. It was also a condensed version of recommendations that were proposed at the various state ratiifying conventions.
Howerver, in some ways it is not a fair critcism. Madison did push congress to take up the proposes 'Bill of Rightrs' as soon as possible, even while Congess was trying to organize the government.

The History of Fiat
Fiat S.p.A., an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, is an Italian car manufacturer, engine manufacturer, financial and industrial group based in Turin in the Piedmont region. Fiat was founded in 1899 by a group of investors including Giovanni Agnelli. Fiat has also manufactured railroad vehicles, tanks and aircraft. As of 2009, Fiat is the world's sixth largest carmaker as well as Italy's largest carmaker.
Fiat-based cars are constructed all around the world, with the largest number produced outside Italy being built in Brazil, where they are best-sellers. It also has factories in Argentina and Poland. Fiat has a long history of licensing its products to other countries regardless of local political or cultural persuasion. Joint venture operations are found in Italy, France, Turkey, India, Serbia and Russia.
The European Car of the Year award, Europe's premier automotive trophy for the past 40 years, has been awarded twelve times to the Fiat Group, more than any other manufacturer.
Production systems are made mainly through Comau S.p.A. (now Comau Systems), which bought the American Pico, Renault Automation and Sciaky and produces industrial automation systems. In the 1970s and 1980s, the company became a pioneer in the use of industrial robotics for the assembly of motor vehicles. Fiat assembly plants are among the most automated and advanced in the world.
The group is present in many countries, not only in the West. Notably, it was one of the first companies to build factories in Soviet territory, with the best known examples in Vladivostok, Kiev and Togliatti. The Russian government later continued the joint venture under the name AutoVAZ (known as Lada outside the former USSR). The venture was most notable for the Lada Riva. Fiat also has a subsidiary in Poland at Tychy, (formerly called FSM) where Fiat's small cars (the 126, Cinquecento,Seicento, Nuova 500 and Ford Ka) and small diesel engines are made. Fiat also has factories in Argentina, Brazil, and Italy. In addition, its cars are produced through licensing and joint-venture agreements in China, Egypt, France, India, South Africa, Turkey, and Vietnam. Local variants of Fiats are produced at these factories as well as a world car, the Palio. As of 2005, the company holds the first position in the Brazilian automobile market with a market share close to 25%.
Giovanni Agnelli founded Fiat in 1899 with several investors and led the company until his death in 1945. By 1910, Fiat was the largest automotive company in Italy � a position it has retained since.
In 1986, Fiat acquired Alfa Romeo from the Italian government. In 1993 Fiat acquired Maserati. In 1995 Alfa Romeo exited the U.S. market. Maserati re-entered the U.S. market under Fiat in 2002. Since then, Maserati sales there have been increasing briskly.

Intersection (company)
Smart city technology
June 2015; 6 years ago (2015-06)
New York, NY, U.S.
Ari Buchalter (CEO)
Dan Doctoroff (Chairman)
www.intersection.com
Intersection is a smart cities technology and out-of-home advertising company. It was formed as a result of a merger between Control Group and Titan in June 2015. Intersection is known for its product LinkNYC.
1.1 Founding and pre merger
1.2 Merger and investments
2 Smart cities products
2.1 Link kiosks
2.2 Transit
2.3 Shoutable
Founding and pre merger[edit]
In 2001, Control Group was founded as a technology and design consultancy firm by Scott Anderson, Campbell Hyers, and Colin O'Donnell. Around the same time, Titan was founded as an out of home advertising company. In March 2006, Titan acquired media company in England, Maiden Outdoor.[1]
In December 2006, Titan won a $832 million advertising contract for the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (NY MTA).[2] In May 2009, Titan began to fall behind on its advertising payments to the NY MTA,[3] and in February 2010, after months of negotiation, Titan lost its advertising contract with the NY MTA.[4] In 2010, Control Group partnered with Fashion GPS to create bar code technology for use at New York Fashion Week.[5]
In March 2013, Control Group began installing the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority "On the Go kiosks"[6][7] The kiosks include upcoming arrival information, maps, trip planning, and service announcements.
Merger and investments[edit]
On June 23, 2015, a consortium of investors led by Sidewalk Labs acquired and merged Control Group and Titan into a new company named Intersection.[8] This merger brought together the expertise of both companies to work on projects such as the recently won contract for LinkNYC.[9] In November 2017, Intersection raised $150 million in a funding round led by Graham Holdings Company.[10]
This funding round did not include Sidewalk Labs, the lead investor from the prior funding round. In June 2018, Intersection launched a programmatic display advertising platform called Place Exchange intended to be used for digital out of home advertising.[11]
Smart cities products[edit]
Link kiosks[edit]
Main article: LinkNYC
In November 2014, the Link product was announced and, in 2015, was first installed in New York City as LinkNYC.[12] The project aims to turn 7,500 old public pay phones into kiosks delivering a variety of features, including free gigabit Wi-Fi, free voice calls, USB charging, displays for advertising content, and access to city services.[9]
In October 2016, Intersection collaborated with British internet provider BT and advertising agency Primesight to install links in London.[13] In November 2017, Intersection announced plans to install Link kiosks in Philadelphia by the end of 2018.[14] In October 2018, Intersection launched LinkNWK in Newark, New Jersey, its second location in the United States.[15][16] Intersection will install forty five Link kiosks throughout Newark, funded by advertising with partners like United Airlines.
Transit[edit]
Intersection continues to operate the NY MTA "On the Go" kiosks produced by its predecessor, Control Group. The kiosks include features such as maps, directions, service advisories, and advertising.[17]
Intersection operates digital displays and kiosks for multiple transit agencies, including:
Chicago Transit Authority[18]
New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority[6][7]
NJ Transit[19]
SEPTA[20]
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority[21]
In May 2018, Intersection and NJ Transit launched IxNTouch interactive displays at several locations.[22] In May 2019, Intersection and LA Metro launched new advert funded IxNTouch information screens along Blue Line stations.[23][24][25]
Shoutable[edit]
In May 2019, Intersection published an iOS app called Shoutable that let users post sixty second messages on LinkNYC screens. These messages were similar to e-cards, and allowed users to enter approved names for the message.[26][27][28]
As of October 2019, the Shoutable app is no longer available.[29]
Controversy[edit]
In September 2016, Intersection removed web browsing capabilities from the LinkNYC kiosks after reported instances of inappropriate content being accessed via the tablets.[30]
Since the launch of the Link product, privacy concerns have been raised over Wi-Fi tracking and camera usage.[31] In September 2018, source code was accidentally made available on the internet that could be used for location tracking.[32]

AURORA, N.Y. — The Keuka College Men's Basketball team lost a North Eastern Athletic Conference game on Thursday at Wells College by the score of 78-68.
Keuka College (4-4, 1-1 NEAC) was led by the fourth double-double by Ryder Mansfield. The senior forward had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Wolves. Also in double figures for Keuka College was Trevor Powell with 13, while James Barnes and David Oliveras each had 12 points.
The Green and Gold took an early 7-5 lead over the Express as David Oliveras raced the ball down the court and found Sam Brown in the corner for a three. The Express responded with a pull-up three to regain the lead and played with the lead for the next 10 minutes in the first half. The Wolves fought back. Achraf Sadouk hit a corner three off of an inbounds play and Ryder Mansfield followed it with a baseline jumper as the Wolves took a 22-21 lead with five minutes left in the half. Wells regained the lead. James Barnes made a basket with 22 seconds left in the half to cut the margin to one, 29-28. In the final seconds, DJ Billings stole the ball, Trevor Powell took it down the floor and found James Barnes for the layup at the buzzer as Keuka took a 30-29 halftime lead over Wells.
Keuka College came out of the locker room fast as the Wolves scored the first eight points of the second half to take a 38-29 lead, forcing Wells into a timeout with 18 minutes left in regulation. Wells fought to stay in the game. Back-to-back threes by the Express with 14 minutes left gave Wells a 47-45 lead over the Wolves. Wells continued to lead going into the final minutes of regulation. Keuka College would cut the lead to one with six minutes left, but the Express would extend their lead to double-digits with under two minutes left to play. Wells would continue onto the 78-68 victory.
Up Next for Keuka College: The Wolves enter the winter break with a 4-4 record. Keuka College returns to action in January 2019 as they host SUNY Poly on Wednesday, January 9 at 8pm.

Football prediction Superleague CEO on European Court statement: We are pleased with the recognition of the right of third parties to organize pan-European club tournaments
The General Director of the Superleague commented on the words of the Advocate General of the European Court.
Athanasios Rantos said that FIFA and UEFA rules do not violate EU laws and give organizations the right to block clubs from entering third-party tournaments and punish players who participate in matches.
The opinion of the Advocate General is one more step in this case. We are pleased with the recognition of the right of third parties to organize pan-European club competitions.
The Advocate General has made it clear that UEFA has a monopoly position, which entails important responsibilities to allow third parties to operate freely on the market.
At the same time, we believe that the 15 judges of the Grand Chamber, who are entrusted with the consideration of the case, will go even further and give the clubs advised by football livescore the opportunity to independently decide their own destiny at European level, " said Bernd Reichart.

Alan rallies support for nationwide tree planting under Green Ghana Project
byCiti Newsroom
The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, has urged Ghanaians to get on board the newly launched Green Ghana Project.
He says the tree planting exercise among other things offers job opportunities for citizens especially the youth across the country.
Under the auspices of the Forestry Commission and the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry, the government of Ghana is seeking to plant over five million trees across the country.
The program after its launch on Friday June 11, 2021, has seen many top government officials and the members of the public plant trees in their homes, schools and other designated areas in support of the initiative.
Taking his turn to join the tree planting exercise in the Ayawaso West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, Mr. Kyerematen noted that planting five million trees will protect the environment from climate change and also help protect watersheds, reduce erosion, moderate climatic conditions, provide habitats for fauna and provide food for birds and other wildlife.
Mr Kyerematen also held the view that if government's target of planting five million trees is achieved more jobs opportunities will be created for citizens especially the youth across the country.
He therefore urged the general public to join hands with government to exceed the five million trees which will yield benefits for all.
The Minister was accompanied by the Member of Parliament for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Ms Lydia Seyram Alhassan, Municipal Chief Executive of Ayawaso West Assembly, Ms. Sandra Owusu Ahenkorah, as well as other officials from the municipal Asssembly.
The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly has set a target to plant about 8,000 seedlings of coconut, mahogany, cedralla, cassia, militia, royal palm, and polythia for planting.

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports
Rutgers track & field star Izaiah Brown, just a sophomore, continues to establish himself as one of the all-time greats in school history. He successfully defended his 400m title at the Big Ten Indoor Championships on Saturday, finishing in 45.38 seconds, which broke both the school and conference records. It's the second fastest time in the country this season.

@Rutgers_MensTF Izaiah Brown's time of 45.32 is also a Big Ten record!
He had just established a new school record with a 400M time of 45.62 earlier this season. This comes off a sterling freshman campaign when Brown won both the Indoor & Outdoor 400m titles, as well as being named Big Ten Indoor Freshman of the Year, Track Athlete of the Year, and Big Ten Tack Athlete of the Championships. He also anchored the 4X400 relay team that qualified for the NCAA Track Outdoor Championships, where they earned 2nd team All-American Honors. The success is nothing new for Brown, who was a scholastic All-American and won 5 state titles in track & field at Amsterdam high school in Amsterdam, New York.
Watch Brown run the fastest 400m in Big Ten indoor track history, making him three for three in conference finals in this event for his career.
Brown will now set his sights on the IC4A and NCAA Indoor Championships, with both events taking place in March. The outdoor season will jump into full swing soon after, when Brown will also look to repeat as the Big Ten champion in the 400m. Last year, after winning his first outdoor Big Ten title, he surprisingly failed to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships after finishing a disappointing 31st in East regional. The performance also likely cost him an invitation to the Olympic trials for the 400m, which was held last summer. It's obvious that the rare setback has motivated Brown to improve and he is now breaking records on a regular basis.
As for other notable performances from Rutgers track and field athletes at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, senior Jermaine Griffith finished in 3rd place behind Brown in the 400m finals, running a time of 46.15 seconds. He is also a member of the 4X400 relay team holds both the school record and made 2nd team All-American at last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships. At that same meet, Griffith also ran in the preliminary round for the 400m outdoor title and finished just 0.14 seconds short of qualifying for the Final.
The men's team finished in 12th place overall at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, which were held in Geneva, Ohio.
Looking forward to an amazing day of @Rutgers_MensTF and @Rutgers_WomenTF at the B1G Champ!! Go RU pic.twitter.com/O7n4NB5h2a

Q: Excel Data Validation List dependent on Multiple Tables I am trying to find a way to do dynamic data validation from a drop down list from information in different tables. A simplified version of my tables are:

From left to right they are Tables: List1, List2, List3, Relations
On a separate workbook I am want to have a drop down list so that you can select the appropriate inputs.
So the first cell I set it up to give you the list from the List1 Table.
Now comes my issue. The second cell I want to pull all the distinct values from the Relations table.
SQL would be something like:
SELECT DISTINCT L2 FROM Relations WHERE L1=3;

Then the third cell would be similar but depended on the selection from the first 2 cells.
SQL would be something like:
SELECT DISTINCT L3 FROM Relations WHERE L1=3 AND L2=0;

Any Ideas or thoughts on how to accomplish this?

A: I have a way to do this using helper columns.  That's not ideal and hopefully someone else posts an answer that can do it with just a single formula.  In the meantime you can use this.
This answer assumes that you are using data validation for your lists.  It assumes that the data in your screenshot is on Sheet1 and the cells with data valiedation for List 1, List 2, List 3 and Order are in Sheet2!B1:B4 respectively.
You don't need your List1, List2 and List3, you can get everything from the relations table.  If you do get everything from the Relations table you only need to update one table.
Getting a list in Sheet2!B1 from Relations of distinct values for List 1:

*

*On Sheet1 in column S select S2:S200 and while they are all selected enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(($M$2:$M$200<>""),$M$2:$M$200,"")

*In T2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(SUM(IF(S2=T$1:T1,1,0)),"",S2)

*Copy T2 into T3:T200

*In U2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IFERROR(INDEX(T$2:T$200, SMALL(IF(T$2:T$200="", "", ROW(T$2:T$200)-MIN(ROW(T$2:T$200))+1), ROW($A1))), "")

*Copy U2 into U3:U200

*Define the name List1 to be this:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$U$2:$U$200,0,0,200-1-COUNTBLANK(Sheet1!$U$2:$U$200),1)

*Finally change the Data Validation on Sheet2!B1 to:
=List1

Getting a list in Sheet2!B2 from Relations of distinct values for List 2 filtering by Sheet2!B1:

*

*On Sheet1 in column W select W2:W200 and while they are all selected enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(($M$2:$M$200=Sheet2!$B$1),$N$2:$N$200,"")

*In X2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(SUM(IF(W2=X$1:X1,1,0)),"",W2)

*Copy X2 into X3:X200

*In Y2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IFERROR(INDEX(X$2:X$200, SMALL(IF(X$2:X$200="", "", ROW(X$2:X$200)-MIN(ROW(X$2:X$200))+1), ROW($A1))), "")

*Copy Y2 into Y3:Y200

*Define the name List2 to be this:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$Y$2:$Y$200,0,0,200-1-COUNTBLANK(Sheet1!$Y$2:$Y$200),1)

*Finally change the Data Validation on Sheet2!B2 to:
=List2

Getting a list in Sheet2!B3 from Relations of distinct values for List 3 filtering by Sheet2!B1 and Sheet2!B2:

*

*On Sheet1 in column AA select AA2:AA200 and while they are all selected enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(($M$2:$M$200=Sheet2!$B$1)*($N$2:$N$200=Sheet2!$B$2),$O$2:$O$200,"")

*In AB2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(SUM(IF(AA2=AB$1:AB1,1,0)),"",AA2)

*Copy AB2 into AB3:AB200

*In AC2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IFERROR(INDEX(AB$2:AB$200, SMALL(IF(AB$2:AB$200="", "", ROW(AB$2:AB$200)-MIN(ROW(AB$2:AB$200))+1), ROW($A1))), "")

*Copy AC2 into AC3:AC200

*Define the name List3 to be this:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$AC$2:$AC$200,0,0,200-1-COUNTBLANK(Sheet1!$AC$2:$AC$200),1)

*Finally change the Data Validation on Sheet2!B3 to:
=List3

Getting a list in Sheet2!B4 from Relations of distinct values for Order filtering by Sheet2!B1, Sheet2!B2 and Sheet2!B3:

*

*On Sheet1 in column AE select AE2:AE200 and while they are all selected enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(($M$2:$M$200=Sheet2!$B$1)*($N$2:$N$200=Sheet2!$B$2)*($O$2:$O$200=Sheet2!$B$3),$Q$2:$Q$200,"")

*In AF2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IF(SUM(IF(AE2=AF$1:AF1,1,0)),"",AE2)

*Copy AF2 into AF3:AF200

*In AG2 enter this array formula (Make sure you hit Shift Control Enter instead of Enter after you type it in):
=IFERROR(INDEX(AF$2:AF$200, SMALL(IF(AF$2:AF$200="", "", ROW(AF$2:AF$200)-MIN(ROW(AF$2:AF$200))+1), ROW($A1))), "")

*Copy AG2 into AG3:AG200

*Define the name Order to be this:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$AG$2:$AG$200,0,0,200-1-COUNTBLANK(Sheet1!$AG$2:$AG$200),1)

*Finally change the Data Validation on Sheet2!B4 to:
=Order

Q: How a function will call with ng-repeat for all elements? I want to call a function with all elements of data-ng-repeat. How can i do this ? Experts please help me.
Code:

{{message.created}}

function:
$scope.showDate= function(message){ var cast_time = new Date(message.created);
$scope.time=cast_time;}

I want to show organized date which is in showDate function. I want to show this date in message.created, but every time ng-repeat will call showDate function. How can i do this ?

A: I think, the best way to do it seems to use a filter :

{{message.created | showDate }}

And you can define your filter in application module:
angular.module('myApp', []).filter('showDate', function() {
    return function(myDate) {
      // return what you want to display
      var cast_time = new Date(message.created);
      return cast_time.getDate();
    };
});

You can use pre-defined angular filters:
angular.module('myApp', []).filter('showDate', ['$filter', function($filter) {
    return function(myDate) {
        return $filter('date')(myDate, 'dd-MM-yyyy');
    };
}]);

Of course, you can use angular date filter directly without creating your own:

{{message.created | date:'dd-MM-yyyy' }}

See the documentation: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.filter:date

The billionaire cofounder of Home Depot plans on donating up to 90% of his $5.9 billion fortune, and Trump's 2020 campaign will be one of the beneficiaries

Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus has planned out how he wants to donate his fortune, he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Atlanta-based billionaire has a net worth of $5.9 billion, according to Forbes.
Marcus was one of Trump's largest donors in 2016, giving $7 million to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus has a plan for how to spend his fortune, he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. After the 90-year-old billionaire dies, 80 to 90% of his total wealth will go to his foundation to build centers to help veterans with disabilities around the country, fund medical research, and provide care for children with autism.
Aside from philanthropy, Marcus is also a major political donor: He supported, and intends to again support, Donald Trump's presidential bid.
The Atlanta-based billionaire has a net worth of $5.9 billion, down from its peak of $10 billion in September 2018, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Marcus and his wife, Billi, signed The Giving Pledge in 2010. He has already donated $2 billion to more than 300 charities, according to The Washington Post.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Marcus refused to name the exact sum he would donate, but the newspaper estimated that Marcus could give away a total of $6 billion to charity in his lifetime based on his commitment to donate 90% of his wealth when he signed The Giving Pledge.
Donation cause No. 1: Trump's campaign
Marcus was one of Trump's largest donors in 2016, giving $7 million to Trump's campaign through outside groups, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Marcus said he planned to financially support the president in the 2020 election, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Read more: Less than 1% of the world's billionaires donate to housing and shelter charities. Here are the top 10 causes the world's richest people give their money to
Donation cause No. 2: philanthropy
Marcus is a noted philanthropist in Georgia, having donated $250 million to fund the construction of the Georgia Aquarium, which opened in 2005. Marcus has also made contributions to an autism center and Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Healthcare and medical research were the fourth most common cause that billionaires donated to in 2018, Business Insider previously reported. Marcus' political donations are less common among billionaires: only 12.4% donated to public-affairs causes. Education charities are the most popular, receiving donations from 79.5% of billionaires.
"I've got all the houses I need," Marcus told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I live very well. My kids are taken care of. Everything I live for now is finding the right things to put my money into and that can give me a rate of return in emotion and doing good things for this world."
Marcus cofounded Home Depot in 1978 with Arthur Blank after they were fired from their jobs at another hardware store, according to Forbes. Marcus was the company's first CEO and retired in 2002. Bloomberg reported that the chain of home-improvement superstores now has more than 2,200 locations in North America and made $108.2 billion in revenue during the 2018 fiscal year.

Is it true Rihanna and Asap Rocky split?
By Mensah Courage April 15, 2022
Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Are Trending Amid Unverified Breakup Rumors & Cheating Allegations
In the wake of speculations that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have broken up, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are presently trending on Twitter and Google.
There are rumors circulating online that Rocky cheated on Rihanna with someone close to her, but none of the reports have been confirmed as of yet.
According to XXL, Rihanna "found Rocky cheating on her with Fenty footwear designer Amina Muaddi," causing social media to erupt.
The rumors seem to have spread by fashion influencer @LOUIS_via_ROMA.
"Rihanna & ASAP Rocky have split. Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi," he tweeted. "Amina was responsible for designing Fenty's footwear offering and Rihanna is often seen in custom shoes from her own label."
He added, "ASAP & Amina is not new though as she was seeing him years ago and also collaborated with him on a collection of shoes. Things apparently hit the fan at Craigs in LA."
Rihanna and Rocky were last seen together on April 1 at Craig's for lunch.
Rihanna was photographed three days ago wearing Amina's shoes, which she had retweeted just hours before the claims surfaced.
Rihanna and her team have not confirmed any of these charges, so this is all just speculation at this point.
