(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) Leases The Company leases facilities under operating lease agreements expiring through March 2029. The Company pays taxes, maintenance and insurance in addition to the lease obligations. The Company also leases certain equipment and automobiles under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through December 2014. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 approximated $85.0 million, $74.5 million and $65.9 million, respectively. The Company also leases certain property, plant and equipment under capital lease agreements requiring monthly installment payments through June 2013. Minimum lease payments, which takes into account escalation clauses, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Subsequent adjustments to our lease payments due to changes in an existing index, usually the consumer price index, are typically included in our calculation of the minimum lease payments when the adjustment is known. Reimbursements for leasehold improvements are recorded as liabilities and are amortized over the lease term. Lease concessions, in our case usually a free rent period, are considered in the calculation of our minimum lease payments for the minimum lease term. Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable leases at December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands): CAPITAL LEASES OPERATING LEASES Year ending December 31: 2012 $ 19 $ 99,750 2013 10 92,559 2014 0 84,451 2015 0 79,565 2016 0 71,986 Thereafter 0 375,171 $ 29 $ 803,482 (b) Litigation The Company recognizes legal expense in connection with loss contingencies as incurred.

Commitments and Contingencies Lease Assignments . Taco Cabana has assigned three leases to various parties on properties where it no longer operates restaurants with lease terms expiring on various dates through 2029. The assignees are responsible for making the payments required by the leases. The Company is a guarantor under one of the leases, and it remains secondarily liable as a surety with respect to two of the leases. The maximum potential liability for future rental payments that the Company could be required to make under these leases at January1, 2017 was $1.7 million . The Company could also be obligated to pay property taxes and other lease related costs. The obligations under these leases will generally continue to decrease over time as the operating leases expire. The Company does not believe it is probable that it will be ultimately responsible for the obligations under these leases. Legal Matters . The Company is a party to legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of business, including the matter described below. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. On November 24, 2015, Pollo Tropical received a legal demand letter alleging that assistant managers were misclassified as exempt from overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act. On September 30, 2016, prior to any suit being filed, Pollo Tropical reached a settlement with seven named individuals and a proposed collective action class that will allow current and former assistant managers to receive notice and opt-in to the settlement.Pollo Tropical denies any liability or unlawful conduct.

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Many women writers between 1840 and 1870 were producing a particular form of\ud
social or "social protest" novel which is identified here as a "philanthropic\ud
novel", a form distinguishable in content and tone from social novels written by\ud
men of the same period. The philanthropic novel is a work which has as its\ud
main protagonist a philanthropic heroine who is modelled - perhaps more\ud
covertly than overtly but significantly so - on the great revolutionary female\ud
philanthropists and social campaigners of the day, such as Elizabeth Fry,\ud
Florence Nightingale and Josephine Butler. Despite the social and economic\ud
constraints imposed on women, the middle years of the nineteenth century saw an\ud
unprecedented upsurge of both women novelists and women philanthropists. A\ud
high proportion of women writers, including Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte\ud
Yonge, were philanthropists themselves; others, like Charlotte Bronte and George\ud
Eliot, admired the activities of eminent women philanthropists. Although, the\ud
majority of women novelists lacked the wider experience of politics, the law and\ud
commerce which was available to male writers, they now had available to them\ud
this new experience of philanthropy to draw upon for their novels. Notably,\ud
philanthropic heroines created by male authors, such as Charles Dickens,\ud
Benjamin Disraeli and Charles Kingsley, were more commonly depicted along\ud
conventional stereotyped lines as "ministering angels" : the male authors were\ud
less inclined to rely on actual women philanthropists as models even though\ud
they were personally acquainted with many of these revolutionary women. This\ud
analytical and psychological enquiry into the social history and novels of the\ud
period, reveals that the philanthropic novel not only played a crucial part in\ud
the developing literary tradition of women; it also led to a new, freer\ud
consciousness for women which assisted in a reappraisal of themselves and their\ud
worth to the wider community | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I'm sharing my ObservableHQ notebook that gives COVID aerosol risk estimates for schools, work, shopping, and other activities. You can adjust sliders to get counterfactuals/what-ifs for improving ventilation, decreasing time, etc. good risk estimator is very helpful when navigating competing ideas. Some people favor ventilation. Some people better masks. Some, spacing and distancing.It's based on the decades old Wells-Riley aerosol disease model. A google sheets risk calculator with a ton of documentation was built by Prof Jose Jimenez of Univ Colorado-Boulder. ( a complex google sheets workbook).It can help you think about doing A or B.I didn't make any of the modeling equations. I just "reskinned" the google sheet as a menu based system with sliders and radio boxes. But it's more approachable than the google sheet.Hope this is useful. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Pharmaceutical marketing effectiveness comprises the measurement of marketing efforts of pharmaceutical firms towards doctors and patients. These firms spend billions of dollars yearly to promote their prescription drugs. This dissertation provides empirical analyses and methods to contribute to several substantial problems on pharmaceutical marketing effectiveness. Using unique data in every essay, it studies the role of the firm, sales rep and doctor in pharmaceutical marketing. The first essay evaluates the size of the sales force and the allocation of sales calls among doctors. In particular, it provides a method to gauge a yet-to-be-enacted firm-initiated policy shift. The second essay studies the effectiveness of the information content provided in sales calls. The main questions evolve around the discussion of positively biased drug information and the responsiveness of doctors to that.
In the third essay, the interplay between drug sales, marketing and scientific reviews is
studied in detail. The essays reveal important implications for academics and managers. For academics: (i)
a new alternative to gauge policy shifts is offered; (ii) a model is offered to analyze the effectiveness of sales message content; and (iii) scientific reviews should be considered to correctly measure pharmaceutical marketing effectiveness. The implications for managers are: (i) the market leader is able to buck the trend in increasing sales forces; (ii) sales reps discuss positively biased information too often, which is counterproductive in the long run; and (iii) scientific reviews on products should be actively considered as a part of the marketing mix | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Thai, Vietnamese a nice patio, good happy hour and a swanky inside they have it all.
Despite being a nicer place as Asian food goes the prices are quite reasonable and it is really a great value.
The happy hour menu has Asian tappas (apps) for $5 and many $5 cocktails and glasses of wine. WE had the salmon satay which was just grilled cubes of salmon on a stick with sauce and some salad, good but nothing special. The veggie wontons were great in a brown sauce and filled with veggies and again a small salad garnish.
My cocktail was great but it was a bit strong.
For our mains we had the Salmon with green curry, It came in a HUGE Bowl it was rich and full of great veggies and fresh not overcooked fish. $12.95
We also had the dragon noodles, which was veggies tofu and glass noodles. It was light and fresh. ~10
Over all great quality value and patio I will be back. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Title:
Titrated oral misoprostol for augmenting labour to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Abstract:
Labour dystocia is associated with a number of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Augmentation of labour is a commonly used intervention in cases of labour dystocia. Misoprostol is an inexpensive and stable prostaglandin E1 analogue that can be administered orally, vaginally, sublingually or rectally. Misoprostol has proven to be effective at stimulating uterine contractions although it can have serious, and even life-threatening side-effects. Titration refers to the process of adjusting the dose, frequency, or both, of a medication on the basis of frequent review to achieve optimal outcomes. Studies have reported on a range of misoprostol titration regimens used for labour induction and titrated misoprostol may potentially be effective and safe for augmentation of labour.
To examine the effects and safety of titrated oral misoprostol compared with placebo, oxytocin, other interventions, or no active treatment, in women with labour dystocia.
The Trials Search Co-ordinator of the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register; date of search: 29 May 2013. We also searched the reference lists of retrieved studies
Randomised trials (including quasi-randomised and cluster-randomised trials) comparing titrated oral misoprostol with placebo, other interventions (e.g. oxytocin, other prostaglandins), or no treatment in women requiring augmentation of labour were eligible for inclusion.
Two review authors independently assessed eligibility for inclusion, carried out data extraction and assessed risk of bias in included studies. Data were entered by one author and checked for accuracy.
We included two randomised trials with a total of 581 women each comparing different regimens of titrated oral misoprostol with intravenous oxytocin. One study compared 20 mcg doses of misoprostol dissolved in water (repeated every hour up to four hours, after which the dose was increased to 40 mcg per hour up to a maximum total dose of 1600 mcg), while the second study gave women 75 mcg doses (repeated after four hours provided there were no adverse effects observed).Neither trial reported maternal death, severe maternal morbidity, or fetal/neonatal mortality outcomes, and only a few fetal/neonatal morbidity outcomes were considered, none of which were significantly different between groups. For several outcomes (such as maternal side-effects, instrumental birth, maternal blood transfusion for hypovolaemia and epidural analgesia), the number of events was generally too low for sufficient statistical power to be achieved. Maternal satisfaction was not reported in either trial. One trial reported a slight reduction in the median duration of labour from the start of augmentation to vaginal delivery in the oxytocin group.Neither trial reported significantly higher rates of caesarean section (CS) in the oral misoprostol group. Rates of vaginal delivery within 12 and 24 hours of commencing augmentation were not significantly different in the trial using a 20 mcg misoprostol dose. Neither trial had significantly higher rates of uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes in the titrated oral misoprostol group. However, the rates of this outcome varied so greatly between the two studies as to suggest that other factors were at play. The only significant differences between groups related to uterine hyperstimulation (without fetal heart rate changes), and results were not consistent in the two trials. In the trial examining the higher dose of misoprostol, more women in the misoprostol group experienced hyperstimulation of labour measured over a 10-minute period compared with those receiving oxytocin (risk ratio (RR) 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02 to 1.35, 350 women). In the study examining the lower titrated dose of misoprostol, there was a lower incidence of tachysystole when labour was augmented with titrated oral misoprostol than with oxytocin (RR 0.39, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.91, 231 women) with no occurrences of hypertonus in either group of women.
Important uncertainties still exist on the safety and acceptability of titrated oral misoprostol compared with intravenous oxytocin regimens in women with dystocia following spontaneous onset of labour. Although in facilities where electronic oxytocin infusion is not available, low-dose titrated misoprostol may offer a better alternative to an uncontrolled oxytocin infusion to avoid hyperstimulation. Further research is needed in both high- and low-resource settings More trials should be conducted to evaluate the effect of a standard titration oral misoprostol regimen, both following spontaneous labour and labour induction. Comparisons with other augmentation methods are also warranted, as are any effects on women's birth experiences. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
The research project reported in this thesis concerned the business case for equal
opportunity in the workplace. The project comprised three distinct but related studies:
1. Study I was a qualitative investigation into which variables employees perceived to
be associated with equal opportunity in the workplace. The over-arching fmding
was that participants had a low awareness of equal opportunity and perceived
general fairness (organisational egalitarianism) to be more important than equal
opportunity per se. Job attitude outcome variables ofjob satisfaction, organisational
commitment, intention to leave and perceived performance were proposed.
2. Study 2 qualitatively explored the issues associated with the business case for equal
opportunity as perceived by equality practitioners. Results detailed perceptions of
equal opportunity climate, employer motivations and the problems associated with
translating equal opportunity policy into practice.
3. Study 3 sought to quantitatively measure the impact of equal opportunity and
organisational egalitarianism on the job attitude outcome variables identified by
studies I and 2. A questionnaire, the Social Atmosphere at Work Survey, was
constructed and piloted to measure the perceived equal opportunity climate, the
outcome variables and an individual difference construct, equity sensitivity.
Results indicated that equal opportunity significantly contributed to job satisfaction,
organisational commitment, intention to leave and perceived workgroup, effectiveness.
Organisational egalitarianism however proved a stronger predictor of these outcome
variables than perceived equal opportunity level, as suggested by the qualitative results.
Equity sensitivity did not significantly moderate any of these relationships | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Why Saudi Arabia Is Building a Linear City
Hope it doesnt go the way of dubais man made islands. Good luck saudis. Pretty ambitious stuff.
I do see how it could be faster. Depending on how they organize the traffic flow. I think of they had something of an autobahn running the length of it with onramps every couple miles.. i could see a way it could be made highly efficient. Idk if theyd implement that design tho. Just because the city is linear doesnt mean it can only have one long road... small circuts of slow speed movement, with onramps to the sort of autobahn i described.
Of course... with enough infrastructure you could just use high speed public transport. I wouldnt advise eliminating the roads completely tho. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I just wanted to share my short cautionary tale about DO.I am running an application on managed Kubernetes. From a tech perspective, I was quite happy until this happened.I broke my production system by introducing a bug in the k8s infrastructure. So I went over to DO to login and fix it.
It sends a 6 digit code to my email for me to enter in order to login. The only problem is, that the email never arrives in my Gmail inbox.I made double and triple sure it's not in spam, and checked that emails arrive normally in my inbox. But it's just not there. I guess there is a bug on DO's side. This is not their 2FA, but something they do when logging in from new browsers/locations, so no backup codes.So I open a ticket, as this is already quite urgent (production is down). But I get no answer. I waited a few hours and opened another ticket. With no success.
By now it's be 24h, and I cannot get a hold of anybody at DO.I guess I got what I paid for. Digital Ocean is nice for playing around, but for serious projects one should look elsewhere.EDIT:
I found a blog post describing a similar problem.
Looks like sometimes DO is just silently blacklisting emails.

Whenever I'm looking for a quick healthy lunch, and am tired of salads from the grocery store, I swing by Zoe's Kitchen on Camelback. For a long time I used to get the spinach and chicken quesadillas, however last time I went in, I realized they didn't have them on the menu anymore. The manager that was on duty was super friendly and helpful, and explained it was now basically the spinach roll-ups (add chicken). I must say, they are even more delicious!
Is it your cheapest lunch option? Probably not. I'm a frugal person by nature, but it definitely beats eating Fast Food. So it's worth the extra buck or two to know you're not loading yourself up with tons of grease and carbs. I've introduced a lot of my coworkers to Zoe's and they all love it too. Now if only they can open up in Gilbert or Chandler near where I live! | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I was eight years old. I remember that day clearly like it happened just yesterday. My mother is a bidi roller. She hand-rolls country cigarettes to sustain our family. She is a hard worker and spent 10 to 12 hours every day rolling bidis. That particular day she came home and showed me her bidi-rolling wage book. She asked me how much money she has earned that week. I went through that book, and what caught my eyes were her thumbprints on each page. My mother has never been to school. She uses her thumbprints instead of a signature to keep a record of her earnings. On that day, for some reason, I wanted to teach her how to hold a pen and write her name. She was reluctant at first. She smiled innocently and said no. But deep down, I was sure she wanted to give it a try. With a little bit of perseverance and a lot of effort, we managed to write her name. Her hands were trembling, and her face was beaming with pride. As I watched her do this, for the first time in my life, I had a priceless feeling: that I could be of some use to this world. That feeling was very special, because I am not meant to be useful. In rural India, girls are generally considered worthless. They're a liability or a burden. If they are considered useful, it is only to cook dishes, keep the house clean or raise children. As a second daughter of my conservative Indian family, I was fairly clear from a very early age that no one expected anything from me. I was conditioned to believe that the three identities that defined me -- poor village girl -- meant that I was to live a life of no voice and no choice. These three identities forced me to think that I should never have been born. Yet, I was. All throughout my childhood, as I rolled bidis alongside my mother, I would wonder: What did my future hold? I often asked my mother, with a lot of anxiety, "Amma, will my life be different from yours? Will I have a chance to choose my life? Will I go to college?" And she would reply back, "Try to finish high school first." I am sure my mother did not mean to discourage me. She only wanted me to understand that my dreams might be too big for a girl in my village. When I was 13, I found the autobiography of Helen Keller. Helen became my inspiration. I admired her indomitable spirit. I wanted to have a college degree like her, so I fought with my father and my relatives to be sent to college, and it worked. During my final year of my undergraduate degree, I desperately wanted to escape from being forced into marriage, so I applied to a fellowship program in Delhi, which is about 1,600 miles away from my village. (Laughter) In fact, I recall that the only way I could fill out the application was during my commute to college. I did not have access to computers, so I had to borrow a college junior's cell phone. As a woman, I could not be seen with a cell phone, so I used to huddle his phone under my shawl and type as slowly as possible to ensure that I would not be heard. After many rounds of interviews, I got into the fellowship program with a full scholarship. My father was confused, my mother was worried -- (Applause) My father was confused, my mother was worried, but I felt butterflies in my stomach because I was going to step out of my village for the first time to study in the national capital. Of the 97 fellows selected that year, I was the only rural college graduate. There was no one there who looked like me or spoke like me. I felt alienated, intimidated and judged by many. One fellow called me "Coconut Girl." Can you guess why? Anyone? That's because I applied a lot of coconut oil to my hair. (Laughter) Another asked me where I had learned to speak English, and some of my peers did not prefer to have me on their assignment teams because they thought I would not be able to contribute to their discussion. I felt that many of my peers believed that a person from rural India could not supply anything of value, yet the majority of Indian population today is rural. I realized that stories like mine were considered to be an exception and never the expectation. I believe that all of us are born into a reality that we blindly accept until something awakens us and a new world opens up. When I saw my mother's first signature on her bidi-rolling wage book, when I felt the hot Delhi air against my face after a 50-hour train journey, when I finally felt free and let myself be, I saw a glimpse of that new world I longed for, a world where a girl like me is no longer a liability or a burden but a person of use, a person of value and a person of worthiness. By the time my fellowship ended, my life had changed. Not only had I traced my lost voice, but also had a choice to make myself useful. I was 22. I came back to my village to set up the Bodhi Tree Foundation, an institution that supports rural youth by providing them with education, life skills and opportunities. We work closely with our rural youth to change their life and to benefit our communities. How do I know my institution is working? Well, six months ago, we had a new joinee. Her name is Kaviarasi. I first spotted her in a local college in Tirunelveli during one of my training sessions. As you can see, she has a smile which you can never forget. We guided her to get an opportunity to study at Ashoka University, Delhi. The best part of her story is that she is now back at Bodhi Tree as a trainer working with dedication to make a change in the lives of others like her. Kaviarasi doesn't want to feel like an exception. She wants to be of use to others in this world. Recently, Kaviarasi mentored Anitha, who also comes from a remote, rural village, lives in a 10-foot-by-10-foot home, her parents are also farm laborers. Kaviarasi helped Anitha secure admission in a prestigious undergraduate program in a top university in India with a full scholarship. When Anitha's parents were reluctant to send her that far, we asked the district administration officials to speak to Anitha's parents, and it worked. And then there is Padma. Padma and I went to college together. She's the first in her entire village to attend graduation. She had been working with me at Bodhi Tree until one day she decides to go to graduate school. I asked her why. She told me that she wanted to make sure that she would never be a liability or a burden to anyone at any point in her life. Padma, Anitha and Kaviarasi grew up in the most tough families and communities one could only imagine. Yet the journey of finding my usefulness in this world served them in finding their usefulness to this world. Of course there are challenges. I'm aware change does not happen overnight. A lot of my work involves working with families and communities to help them understand why getting an education is useful for everyone. The quickest way to convince them is by doing. When they see their kids getting a real education, getting a real job, they begin to change. The best example is what happened at my home. I was recently given an award in recognition of my social work by the chief minister of my state. That meant I was going to be on television. (Laughter) Everyone was hooked on to the television that morning, including my parents. I would like to believe that seeing her daughter on television made my mother feel useful too. Hopefully, she will stop pressuring me to get married now. (Laughter) Finding my use has helped me to break free from the identities society thrusts on me -- poor village girl. Finding my use has helped me to break free from being boxed, caged and bottled. Finding my use has helped me to find my voice, my self-worth and my freedom. I leave you with this thought: Where do you feel useful to this world? Because the answer to that question is where you will find your voice and your freedom. Thank you. (Applause) | 0 | 1 | 0 |

can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new
furniture
should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Reliable and inexpensive. However, it's quite slow, far, far slower than the 64GB samsung pro microsdxc. The Samsung works well for interactive use while I would only use this Sandisk card for applications where speed isn't important. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
I'm the founder of a tech startup in the field of telephony and we use Twilio for parts of our service.A little over 3 hours ago our entire account was suspended without reason. We received an email stating that fact without further explanation.Since then, we are trying to get in contact with them through every channel we could find: email, Twitter, LinkedIn, and I even tried emailing Jeff Lawson, their CEO. They don't have a support number we can call.We are not a small customer and we have been with them for more than 6 years. It's deeply frustrating that despite that fact, we don't seem to matter to them at all.If you work at Twilio or if you can help us get in touch with them, I'd be indebted to you forever! | 0 | 1 | 0 |

I wasn't sure about this top online. in the picture, it sort of looks like it juts out after the tie. but the reviews said it was really soft and flattering on. i wasn't sure exactly how the sizing translated (numbers vs letters), so i ventured into the store. i am normally either an xxs or xs in most retailer tops. i went with size 2. i think i would have been ok in the 0, but it might have gotten a bit snug in the shoulder area sizing down. and with the front tie, it can be cinched in to create | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Organization and Business Sphere 3D Corp. (the Company) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on May 2, 2007 as T.B. Mining Ventures Inc. On March 24, 2015, the Company completed a short-form amalgamation with a wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with the short-form amalgamation, the Company changed its name to Sphere 3D Corp. The Company delivers data management and desktop and application virtualization solutions through hybrid cloud, cloud and on premise implementations by its global reseller network. The Company achieves this through a combination of containerized applications, virtual desktops, virtual storage and physical hyper-converged platforms. The Companys products allow organizations to deploy a combination of public, private or hybrid cloud strategies while backing them up with the latest storage solutions. The Company has a portfolio of brands including SnapCLOUD , SnapServer , SnapSync , HVE, and V3 . Management has projected that cash on hand and other sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to allow the Company to continue operations beyond December 31, 2020 if we are unable to raise additional funding for operations. We expect our working capital needs to increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the financial success of our current business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising the required capital at reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all. Further equity financings may have a dilutive effect on shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may require restrictions to be placed on our future financing and operating activities. If we require additional capital and are unsuccessful in raising that capital, we may not be able to continue our business operations and advance our growth initiatives, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Significant changes from the Companys current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) failure to comply with the terms and financial covenants in its debt facilities; (ii) shortfalls from projected sales levels; (iii) unexpected increases in product costs; (iv) increases in operating costs; (v) changes in the historical timing of collecting accounts receivable; and (vi) inability to maintain compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market and/or inability to maintain listing with the NASDAQ Capital Market could have a material adverse impact on the Companys ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue its operations at current levels. If any of these events occurs or the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing sources, the Company may be forced to liquidate assets where possible and/or curtail, suspend or cease planned programs or operations generally or seek bankruptcy protection or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy petition, any of, which would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity. The Company incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and such losses may continue for the foreseeable future. Based upon the Company's current expectations and projections for the next year, the Company believes that it may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations beyond December 31, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Merger Agreement On July 14, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (the Rainmaker Merger Agreement) pursuant to which it will acquire all of the outstanding securities of Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Rainmaker), a global Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) provider. Upon closing, the Companys name will change to Rainmaker Worldwide Inc., and its business model will focus on Water-as-a-Service. Rainmaker management will assume leadership of the combined entity. Under the terms of the agreement, Rainmaker, a Nevada company, will merge with S3D Nevada Inc., a Nevada company wholly-owned by the Company, and the merged entity will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the transaction the Company expects to remain listed on the NASDAQ market and will change its name to Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. After completion of the transaction, it is expected that current holders of Rainmaker will own a minority stake of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, as a result of their exchange of securities in the transaction. The transaction is subject to completion of an equity financing, or series of financings, for a minimum of $15.0 million at a share price to be mutually agreed upon prior to closing and such other customary regulatory and shareholder approvals, including the approval of NASDAQ. Closing is expected to occur prior to December 31, 2020 and subject to extension to February 28, 2021 in certain circumstances. The intent of the transaction is to transform the Company to a Commercial WaaS provider. On September 14, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Rainmaker Amendment). Under the Rainmaker Amendment, the ratio of the Companys common shares to be received by Rainmaker shareholders has changed from one-third of a common share of the Company per common or preferred share of Rainmaker to 1/15 of a share. On September 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with Rainmaker (the Rainmaker Note), pursuant to which the Company loaned Rainmaker the principal amount of $3.1 million comprised of: (a) a new advance of $1.85 million paid to Rainmaker on October 1, 2020, (b) the principal and any interest owing under existing promissory notes issued by Rainmaker to two investors on April 2, 2020 in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million, which indebtedness was assigned to the Company on May 4, 2020 (the Assigned Notes), and (c) a promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000 issued to the Company on August 4, 2020 (the Original Note). The Assigned Notes and the Original Note are included in the principal amount of the Rainmaker Note and therefore, the Assigned Notes and the Original Notes are deemed cancelled. The Rainmaker Note shall be secured as a registered lien under the Uniform Commercial Code and the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) against the assets of Rainmaker and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal and interest shall accrue monthly and be due and payable in full on September 14, 2023. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

In an age of globalization, when as a result of enhanced telecommunication and global media, the world\u27s population is more interconnected than ever, the public at large still tends to associate Africa with poverty, disease and political instability. Yet keen observers of the social landscape have observed that despite Africa\u27s legacy of woes, cultural productivity in the region is on the rise, leading scholars to refer to the phenomenon as an African Renaissance. This is particularly the case in Kenya where a contemporary art movement is flourishing through both local and global art networks. But the question remains: how in the midst of poverty and political instability can there be so much cultural productivity? Based on field research involving participant observation and interviews with more than 200 artists and cultural workers in Kenya\u27s capital city, I argue that it is due largely to an `emergent cultural practice\u27 given the Kiswahili term `jua kali\u27. By virtue of jua kali artists `making do\u27 with minimal resources and maximum ingenuity, imagination, originality and entrepreneurial acumen, they are creating new art forms or bricolage, the clearest evidence of which is what Kenyan artists call `junk art\u27; which is made from global garbage garnered from dump sites, then recycled into original artworks, and finally shown/sold in local and transnational art markets, thus reflecting global flows. This genre of contemporary Kenyan art defies stereotypical myths of `tribal art\u27 and `the primitive other\u27. These hegemonic myths still pervade most Western art markets, but jua kali artists--working through both local and transnational networks -- are striving to debunk them by their works with increasing success | 1 | 0 | 0 |
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES University of Pennsylvania On May 10, 2010, we entered into a second amendment to the Penn license agreement pursuant to which we acquired exclusive licenses for an additional 27 patent applications related to our proprietary Listeria vaccine technology. As part of this amendment we exercised our option for the rights to seven additional patent dockets, including 23 additional patent applications, at an option exercise fee payable in the form of $35,000 in cash and $70,000 in our common stock (approximately 388,889 shares of our common stock based on a price of $0.18 per share) and agreed to pay historical patent costs incurred by the University of Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately $462,000. As of July 31, 2011, the Company owed Penn approximately $225,000 under all licensing agreements. During the three months ending July 31, 2011, the Company paid approximately $121,000 to Penn under all licensing agreements. Other Pursuant to a Clinical Research Service Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Pharm Olam International for service fees related to our Phase I clinical trial. As of July 31, 2011, the Company has an outstanding balance of $223,620 on this agreement. On June 19, 2009 we entered into a Master Agreement and on July 8, 2009 we entered into a Project Agreement with Numoda, a leading clinical trial and logistics management company, to oversee Phase II clinical activity with ADXS11-001 for the treatment of invasive cervical cancer and CIN. Numoda will be responsible globally for integrating oversight and logistical functions with the clinical research organizations, contract laboratories, academic laboratories and statistical groups involved. The scope of this agreement covers over three years and is estimated to cost approximately $11.2 million for both trials. Per the agreement, the Company is permitted to pay a portion of outstanding charges to Numoda in the form of the Company s common stock and during May 2010, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of its commo | 0 | 1 | 0 |
I bought this lovely cardigan in the orange color. it is so beautiful and feminine. i wore it buttoned over a slim tank and got several compliments right off the bat. it is a sweet and unique take on the classic cardigan in a way only found at retailer. i usually wear a small and it fits true to size. i did have to return the one i purchased because it had a hole in the sleeve, but thankfully was able to order another. on sale, it's a no brainer! | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Turkey-Greece Standoff in the Mediterranean Explained
Actually, treaty of Lausanne does not refer to demilitarize Greek islands. It refers (article 23) to reduce, not completely remove the army from them. Only naval military bases are forbidden. Besides, treaty of Montreaux replaced that article. It's the treaty of Paris (article 14) that refers to demilitarization, but Turkey has no business with that.

19 . Business Segments The Companys business results are categorized into the following four business segments: Broker-Dealer, Asset Management Fee Income, Investment Income, and Corporate costs. The Broker-Dealer segment includes a broad range of services, such as underwriting and acting as a placement agent for public and private capital markets raising transactions and financial advisory services in M&A, restructuring and other strategic transactions. The Broker-Dealer segment also includes institutional brokerage services and equity research services to our institutional investor clients. The Asset Management Fee Income segment includes the management of a broad range of pooled investment vehicles, including the Companys hedge funds, private equity funds, hedge funds of funds, and collateralized loan obligations. The Investment income segment includes income from the Companys principal investments in public and private securities and investment funds managed by HCS, as well as any other net interest and income from investing activities, and interest expense related to the Company's bond issuance. The Corporate Costs segment also includes expenses related to JMP Group LLC, JMP Holding LLC and JMP Group Inc., and is mainly comprised of corporate overhead expenses. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company changed its internal reporting which resulted in changes to the Company's segment information. The Company has restated the prior periods presented herein to conform to the new presentation. Management uses operating net income as a key metric when evaluating the performance of JMP Groups core business strategy and ongoing operations. This measure adjusts the Companys net income as follows: (i) reverses non-cash share-based compensation expense related to historical equity awards granted in prior periods, (ii) recognizes 100% of the cost of deferred compensation in the period for which such compensation was awarded, instead of recognizing such cost over the vesting period as required under GAAP, (iii) reverses amortization expense related to an intangible asset resulting from the repurchase of a portion of the equity of CLO III; (iv) unrealized gains or losses on commercial real estate investments, adjusted for non-cash expenditures, including depreciation and amortization; (v) reverses net unrealized gains and losses on strategic equity investments and warrants, (vi) excludes general loan loss provisions related to the CLOs, (vii) reverses one -time transaction costs related to the refinancing of the debt; (viii) one time expense associated with redemption of debt underlying the CLOs , the redemption of other debt, and the resulting acceleration of amortization of remaining capitalized issuance costs for each. These charges may otherwise obscure the Companys operating income and complicate an assessment of the Companys core business activities. The operating pre-tax net income facilitates a meaningful comparison of the Companys results in a given period to those in prior and future periods. The Company s segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was prepared using the following methodology: Revenues and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining segment operating income. Revenues and expenses not directly associated with a specific segment are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including revenues, headcount and other factors. Each segment s operating expenses include: a) compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the segments and b) other operating expenses, which include expenses for premises and occupancy, professional fees, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, equipment and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for administrative services. Assets directly associated with each segment are allocated to the respective segment. One exception i s depreciable assets, which are held at the Corporate segment. The associated depreciation is allocated to the related segment. Segment Operating Results Management believes that the following information provides a reasonable representation of each segment s contribution to revenues, income and assets: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Broker-Dealer Non-interest revenues $ 25,777 $ 26,848 $ 85,121 $ 69,944 Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ 25,777 $ 26,848 $ 85,121 $ 69,944 Non-interest expenses 23,202 22,215 76,528 63,234 Segment operating pre-tax net income $ 2,575 $ 4,633 $ 8,593 $ 6,710 Segment assets $ 68,352 $ 81,880 $ 68,352 $ 81,880 Asset Management Fee Income Non-interest revenues $ 4,878 $ 4,798 $ 13,439 $ 14,965 Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ 4,878 $ 4,798 $ 13,439 $ 14,965 Non-interest expenses 4,794 4,948 14,570 15,346 Segment operating pre-tax net income (loss) $ 84 $ (150 ) $ (1,131 ) $ (381 ) Segment assets $ 21,033 $ 19,424 $ 21,033 $ 19,424 Investment Income Non-interest revenues $ 237 $ 1,572 $ 5,961 $ 6,989 Net interest income 3,715 1,145 8,769 2,100 Gain (loss) on repurchase, reissuance or early retirement of debt - - (42 ) 210 Provision for loan losses (470 ) (593 ) (1,400 ) (2,415 ) Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ 3,482 $ 2,124 $ 13,288 $ 6,884 Non-interest expenses 1,535 934 9,096 5,709 Segment operating pre-tax net income $ 1,947 $ 1,190 $ 4,192 $ 1,175 Segment assets $ 1,270,289 $ 908,228 $ 1,270,289 $ 908,228 Corporate Costs Non-interest expenses 2,688 2,772 7,519 6,915 Segment operating pre-tax net loss $ (2,688 ) $ (2,772 ) $ (7,519 ) $ (6,915 ) Segment assets $ 258,217 $ 329,631 $ 258,217 $ 329,631 Eliminations Non-interest revenues $ (1,205 ) $ (821 ) $ (3,352 ) $ (2,584 ) Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ (1,205 ) $ (821 ) $ (3,352 ) $ (2,584 ) Non-interest expenses (1,205 ) (821 ) (3,354 ) (2,584 ) Segment operating pre-tax net income $ - $ - $ 2 $ - Segment assets $ (254,326 ) $ (308,132 ) $ (254,326 ) $ (308,132 ) Consolidating adjustments and reconciling items Non-interest revenues $ 325 (a) $ (2,089 ) (a) $ (1,312 ) (a) $ (5,958 ) (a) Net interest income 1,148 (b) 944 (b) 3,137 (b) 2,914 (b) Loss on repurchase or early retirement of debt (170 ) - (2,796 ) (5,542 ) (Provision) reversal for loan losses (984 ) 225 (2,799 ) (1,073 ) Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ 319 $ (920 ) $ (3,770 ) $ (9,659 ) Non-interest expenses 599 (c) 1,323 (c) 2,358 (c) 3,897 (c) Non-controlling interest expense 823 780 138 1,712 Segment operating pre-tax net loss $ (1,103 ) $ (3,023 ) $ (6,266 ) $ (15,268 ) Segment assets $ - $ - $ - $ - Total Segments Non-interest revenues $ 30,012 30,308 99,857 83,356 Net interest income 4,863 2,089 11,906 5,014 Loss on repurchase, reissuance or early retirement of debt (170 ) - (2,838 ) (5,332 ) Provision for loan losses (1,454 ) (368 ) (4,199 ) (3,488 ) Total net revenues after provision for loan losses $ 33,251 $ 32,029 $ 104,726 $ 79,550 Non-interest expenses 31,613 31,371 106,717 92,517 Non-controlling interest expense 823 780 138 1,712 Segment operating pre-tax net income (loss) $ 815 $ (122 ) $ (2,129 ) $ (14,679 ) Total assets $ 1,363,566 $ 1,031,031 $ 1,363,566 $ 1,031,031 (a) Non-interest revenue adjustments are comprised of mark-to-market gains/losses on strategic equity investments and warrants, deferred compensation invested in funds, and unrealized gains or losses on commercial real estate investments, adjusted for non-cash expenditures, included depreciation and amortization.

Acquisitions Acxiom Acquisition On October 1, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Acxiom. The purchase accounting for the transaction was finalized during the third quarter of 2019, including the assignment of goodwill related to the transaction-associated synergies. There were no material adjustments to the preliminary amounts recorded. Other Acquisitions During the first nine months of 2019 , we completed one acquisition, a content communications agency based in the U.K. This acquisition was included in the IAN reportable segment. During the first nine months of 2019 , we recorded $7.6 of goodwill and intangible assets related to our acquisitions. During the first nine months of 2018 , we completed three acquisitions, including a full-service digital agency based in Brazil, an entertainment marketing and brand licensing agency in the fashion and lifestyle sector based in the United Kingdom., and a content-focused social creative agency based in the United Kingdom All three of our acquisitions were included in the CMG reportable segment. During the first nine months of 2018 , we recorded $24.0 of goodwill and intangible assets related to our acquisitions. The results of operations of our acquired companies were included in our consolidated results from the closing date of each acquisition. Details of cash paid for current and prior years' acquisitions are listed below. Nine months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Cost of investment: current-year acquisitions $ 0.6 $ 12.3 Cost of investment: prior-year acquisitions 15.3 30.6 Less: net cash acquired (0.5 ) Total cost of investment 15.9 42.4 Operating payments 1 9.3 18.3 Total cash paid for acquisitions 2 $ 25.2 $ 60.7 1 Represents cash payments for amounts that have been recognized in operating expenses since the date of acquisition either relating to adjustments to estimates in excess of the initial value of contingent payments recorded or were contingent upon the future employment of the former owners of the acquired companies. Amounts are reflected in the operating section of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 2 Of the total cash paid for acquisitions, $0.6 and $12.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, are classified under the investing section of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as acquisitions, net of cash acquired.

This is a cool place for low key hanging out, killing time, chatting and relaxing with friends. It is NOT a good night spot and doesn't work as an event venue like they seem to be trying to make it.
I've attended 2 events there and its basically a disaster in trying to make your way through the 200-300 patrons they bring in. You get funneled in past the food trailer into the bar area which is packed with people standing among several oversized tables. Only if you've been there before can you figure out that you can walk towards the boxing ring past the crowd to get behind the stage and into the retail area. Once there you have to get a spot among the wares to watch the back (or the side) of the show that is going to take place facing the bar. Both times I stood the entire night with my drink next to a display of $50 t-shirts. Very nerve wracking and annoying.
1. The old timey way they make drinks is very cool and the drinks are delicious but I have waited now 35 and 45 minutes each on different nights to actually get a single mixed cocktail. Its insane how slow it is.
2. There are rules to what you can get at which station. One spot is just wine. Another spot is just mixed drinks. Lemonade - oh thats a different place entirely.
3. They use the boxing ring as the "stage" for shows. Very hard to view the show there because of the odd angle its at. Both times I've had to stand in the retail area while the performers faced the seating/bar area (which only seats about 75 people).
To pay more than $10 to see a performance at this place is outrageous. If the owners want to be an event venue they could do it simply by doing some rearranging and investing in some more seating. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I hadn't really internalized how the membrane works before and still had it in my head that it was a generator powered by an ICE. I do have to wonder about the mining cost of platinum with regards to the environment, but as far as I know its a more common material in industry than that for BEV batteries. This said, some companies, particularly ones that build fleet and construction vehicles such as the UK's JCB are essentially modifying combustion engines, which does give it an incredibly low development cost and presumably means that mechanics won't have to do as much relearning. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Hello everybody!I'm new to HN as a registered user so sorry if I do something that breaks the site's etiquette; it's not on purpose.I tried to post a link to my textual presentation about my ideas about cosmology and physics, but the problem must have been that the YT video had maybe some copyrighted music in the background or maybe also the simple fact that it was a YouTube video caused it to be stealth banned. I'm very eager to discuss these ideas with people who have more background in the natural sciences than I do so I'll just post the textual content of that YT video here simply as a list of theses that I think together form a very coherent and plausible model of these things, and see what happens.1) First there was a primordial state of now unknown and nonexistent finegrained matter which we can call for example Hyle for the lack of a better term.2) From Hyle emerged the Hydrogen atoms (as in the process of emergence where the whole is nonreducible to it's parts like H2 & O != H2O).3) The star generations produced most of the other elements of the periodic table, etc, as is generally known.4) Atom has the attributes of mass and gravity. Photon has the attribute of mass but not the attribute of gravity. Now the birth of the black hole is explained: mass is lost by the emanation of subatomic particles while the gravity field of the star stays the same. It's all about the mass - gravity balance of the object. It could theoretically be reversed once we know this.5) Photon can be affected by gravity and yet have no gravity influence in itself. Therefore it can for example be trapped in a black hole.6) Gravity is faster than light. No curving gravitational geometry outside the realm of physics ad hoc hypothesis is now needed to get the GPS calculations right.7) Neutron might be the graviton. If it is this is huge and might be the key to anti - gravity technology. Arguments (which might be little weak as solid proving goes I know) for it: a) neutron stars have very big gravitational influence b) neutron is part of the atom so it might be the thing the photon lacks.8) What does the red shift prove other than that the light coming from far away seems to be more red? What other proofs there are for the Big Bang? Dark energy is an ad hoc argument to explain the propulsion from the initial gravitation field. My guess: it is as nonexistent as is the gravitational geometry outside of the realm of physics (Einstein's own words!), just a gimmick to save the holy cow of "Big Bang happened" like the other holy cow named "Speed of light is cap".9) Eventually (if not interfered with...) there will be the Big Crunch. But now if my system holds this will eventually mean that the mass - gravity ratio of the universe will balance itself and therefore the Hole will cease to exist, releasing uniformly something called Hyle.10) Repeat 1) - 9). | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I stumbled in here craving breakfast because it was very close to the airport and very close to the Aloft hotel I was staying at. Yes, I am a tourist and yes, I am from a part of the US where cowboys are not common, so walking into a place full of country western paraphanalia made me smile. The service was good, the food was delicious, and I walked out with a few good photos. The coffee was a tad bit weak, but I'm a starbucks bold drinker, so I don't hold it against them. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I saw this jacket on the sale rack at my local store but the size was extra small, and needed a medium. the store was able to order since it showed back order . i do miss the charge send option, but still love retailer! normally i wear a medium in this brand. i received my order today and it's a beautiful jacket however there's a few things that could have been done in the manufacture that would've improved it. one, the jacket is not lined and it would be beneficial if the jacket was lined or even | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Title:
A unified statistical framework for material decomposition using multienergy photon counting x-ray detectors.
Abstract:
Material decomposition using multienergy photon counting x-ray detectors (PCXD) has been an active research area over the past few years. Even with some success, the problem of optimal energy selection and three material decomposition including malignant tissue is still on going research topic, and more systematic studies are required. This paper aims to address this in a unified statistical framework in a mammographic environment.
A unified statistical framework for energy level optimization and decomposition of three materials is proposed. In particular, an energy level optimization algorithm is derived using the theory of the minimum variance unbiased estimator, and an iterative algorithm is proposed for material composition as well as system parameter estimation under the unified statistical estimation framework. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, the authors performed simulation studies as well as real experiments using physical breast phantom and ex vivo breast specimen. Quantitative comparisons using various performance measures were conducted, and qualitative performance evaluations for ex vivo breast specimen were also performed by comparing the ground-truth malignant tissue areas identified by radiologists.
Both simulation and real experiments confirmed that the optimized energy bins by the proposed method allow better material decomposition quality. Moreover, for the specimen thickness estimation errors up to 2 mm, the proposed method provides good reconstruction results in both simulation and real ex vivo breast phantom experiments compared to existing methods.
The proposed statistical framework of PCXD has been successfully applied for the energy optimization and decomposition of three material in a mammographic environment. Experimental results using the physical breast phantom and ex vivo specimen support the practicality of the proposed algorithm. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Commitments and Contingencies Litigation On May 14, 2014, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement with CCR to acquire The Meadows Racetrack and Casino located in Washington, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The agreement provides that closing of the acquisition is subject to, among other things, the accuracy of CCR s representations and its compliance with the covenants set forth in the agreement, as well as the approval of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and Pennsylvania Racing Commission. On October 27, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against CCR alleging, among other things, fraud, breach of the agreement and breach of the related consulting agreement entered into at the same time. The lawsuit was subsequently re-filed in New York state court on January 7, 2015 for procedural reasons. The Company asserts claims that CCR has breached the agreements, with the Company seeking return of $10.0 million paid pursuant to a related consulting agreement and an unspecified amount of additional damages. The Company further seeks a declaration that a material adverse effect has occurred that excuses the Company from consummating the agreement. The Company will further evaluate and consider all other remedies available to it, including termination of the agreements. Although the Company intends to pursue its claims vigorously, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail on any of the claims in the action, or, if the Company does prevail on one or more of the claims, of the amount of recovery that may be awarded to the Company for such claim(s). In addition, the timing and resolution of the claims set forth in the lawsuit are unpredictable and the Company is not able to currently predict any effect this suit may have on closing of the transaction. Pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement between Penn and GLPI, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the businesses and operations of Penn s real | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Debit order misused
Good day<br> I've been a client of ADT for many years, never had problems. Last month my account was debited with an additional amount after my monthly premium was already taken. I queried this with ADT and it took them 3 weeks to actually notice on their bank statements that I have paid the alleged amount a month ago already via EFT. Multiple requests by me to have them phone me has been ignored and I had to email many people with my proof of payment to get my point across. Every time, it's someone else I have to email.<br> Yesterday my ADT premium was taken at R585 (2 Dec). It's normally R329. This amount of R585 is not even double R329. I've received a statement of Tshepo Ramasala last week, indicated that ADT owes me the R148.20 they took off my account via debit order without permission, so by all rights, i should only pay R329-R148.20= R180.80. Because that's how I understood the statement.<br> So please tell me, again, why am I paying R585 this month?? What services did you give me to amount to R585?? I wasn't aware of this, no invoice was sent. I was given my statement only (I had to ASK FOR IT). Answer your phones!! I've been holding on for 10min and nobody phones back. REFUND ME!!!! | 0 | 1 | 0 |

False advertising and poor service
This company advertises vehicles and makes statements that the vehicles are accident free and come with a two year guarantee. After wasting my time to drive from Jhb to PTA to go look at a vehicle I receive an invoice that is over R20k more than what I saw the vehicle for. I am told that the biggest part of this is the guarantee. I then called their H/O to speak to the DP about this behaviour only to be told they do not have offices or phones! I was simply passed to another sales agent to try and close the deal. Surprise, surprise, more promises and then despite getting confirmation on deal details, the final details differ again. I am told the DP and CEO will call me but I am still waiting. False advertising and poor service from Mit Mak and someone I will never deal with | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Social media’s role in facilitating anti-authoritarian protests has received much recent attention. Although a handful of regimes like Tunisia and Ukraine have undergone major changes, savvy autocrats elsewhere have co-opted online space with propaganda while censoring to prevent opposition. Yet in China and other cases, we sometimes observe less censorship than conventional wisdom about authoritarian information control would predict. Why do some autocrats choose to censor selectively, and how do they actually implement such fine-grained control? In this project, I argue that allowing limited online criticism can signal regime responsiveness to public demands on issues where leaders' legitimacy is at stake. I develop this logic through a focus on China. Chinese Internet industry interviews address the why and how -- i.e. the elite beliefs, and bureaucratic apparatus -- behind China’s selective censorship since 2011. Second, social media data analysis of online incidents on Sina Weibo (China's Twitter) reveals that censorship is selective even within sensitive issues. The implication of these findings is that leaders' ability and willingness to fine-tune censorship may be vital to maintaining popular support (or forestalling dissent) among increasingly educated, urban, Internet-literate publics whose views are crucial to regime survival in rapidly developing authoritarian states | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Never thought I would really come to this but I really need to talk to a group of people who understand programming and could maybe give me some direction. I understand that this probably will get deleted because its an incredibly stupid situation, but maybe this will reach some people that can give some advice. To preface this, I am a 17 year old programmer. I have been doing various programming tasks etc. since around age 11 with basic minecraft things (plugins for servers, mods). I would link some of the old projects if I could find them. But as the years have gone on I have found myself doing progressively more and more illegal things with my programming "skills". Including most recently a gift card phone bot that calls gift card phone lines, bypasses captcha, and transcribes balance. I know I know, you can probably already tell that I think this stuff is incredibly cool. But recently, I have been thinking a lot about what I want my life to be exactly. I am sure that I want to program in college, but I just cant see myself putting any relevant info on a college app/job app because everything I have done is illegal. I know the obvious answer here is stop doing illegal stuff, but whenever I try and stray from this I end up getting incredibly bored. I have an addiction. I have tried so many times to start legitimate projects, I just can't stop myself from getting immersed back into the next illegal thing. It's starting to effect my mental health as every time someone asks what projects I have done I have no skills or projects to even show for it. There's also the other issue of grinding through the first 2/3 of a project and then getting bored and starting something new. I have 20+ 2/3 done projects that have no user interface/ small bugs etc. I just want to start a project that I can take ownership of as mine, not pseudonymously. I know this has been a bit of rambling I just am not sure what to do at this point. I need life direction. Thanks for listening lol | 0 | 0 | 1 |

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has yielded more litigation and less local competition than its supporters expected or intended. Calls for its reform are multiplying. The article diagnoses the 1996 Act\u27s failings and prescribes a framework for reform. The successful deregulations of the transportation industries and of long-distance telecommunications (precedents the 1996 Act sought to follow) demonstrate that the Act should have taken additional steps to promote intermodal telecommunications competition. Transportation deregulation successfully prompted competition where (as in the case of airlines and trucking) multiple firms could compete on an intramodal basis or where (as in the case of railroads) the single firm was subject to intermodal competition from firms using other technologies. The 1996 Act\u27s reliance on the unbundling of incumbent local telephone companies\u27 networks reveals that its supporters thought that portions of the local wireline networks would remain bottlenecks. The lesson, therefore, is that the 1996 Act should have taken additional steps to create the conditions for intermodal competition. Based on this analysis, the article outlines a new communications law that increases the possibilities for intermodal competition. Indeed, the glimmers of hope for local competition - cell phone substitution and voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) telephony - are intermodal competitors. Although the 1996 Act did move in this direction and the Federal Communications Commission is vigorous on several fronts, more can be done. Spectrum reform (the most significant missed opportunity in the 1996 Act) and other steps would decrease legal and economic barriers to intermodal competition. The article also addresses local and state control of telecommunications carriers, regulatory parity, universal service reform, and government funding of research and infrastructure, and it offers a technology-neutral regulatory scheme for VoIP. The proposed deregulatory agenda seeks a law capable of accommodating the speed and diversity of technological change in this \u22Internet time.\u2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Hi HNI sold my company and made a good amount of money. I can allow myself not to work anymore. I have just quit the acquirer company. I have a family (spouse and 2 little kids). I find it difficult to decide what to do next. I have few hobbies (like swimming, woodworking, reading) and I do invest my time into those but they are narrow enough to take small amount of my time, overall. I am not interested in extending my time spending on any of those hobbies. Few alternatives that I see as the next thing are: 1) create and run another company 2) go to academy (do master's or ph.d on something that interests me) 3) concentrate on enjoying life - be with the family, travel, eat good food, discover new wines, etc. (although I can't travel for long periods of time because of kids).I’d like to find something that will maximize the area of the pleasure x time rectangle, meaning something that will bring maximum pleasure / satisfaction for the longest period of time (ultimately more than 10 years). I am not sure how to decide what will it be.I am missing a structured way in approaching this decision. How to evaluate different options? Is there any good framework for this? Do I miss any good alternatives? What would you do?Thank youP.S. I exercise regularly (weightlifting + cardio). My mood is fine. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Received the device and SIM on 19 Oct, without any form of instructions or what should happen next. Consultants at MTN Store did not know what to do, told me they have no access to help me.
On 21 Oct I called MTN Contract activation center, the consultant informed me that DSV still has not submitted my documentation for SIM activation.
22 Oct they promised me the SIM would be activated, Monday came end still dead.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Patent Reexaminations The Company owns numerous patents and intends to vigorously assert patent rights against infringers through civil litigation and to defense its patents against challenges made by way of reexamination requests with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). The Company spends substantial resources in various activities to protect its intellectual property, and these activities may continue for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that any ongoing or future litigation or patent protection activities will be successful. The outcome of pending litigation and patent reexaminations, as well as any delay in their resolution, could affect the Company's ability to license its intellectual property in the future or to protect against competition in the current and expected markets for its products. Google Litigation In May 2008, the Company initiated discussions with Google, Inc. ("Google") regarding the Company's claim that Google has infringed on a U.S. patent owned by the Company, U.S. Patent No. 7,289,386 ("the '386 patent"), which relates generally to rank multiplication in memory modules. Preemptively, Google filed a declaratory judgment lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Northern District Court"), seeking a declaration that Google did not infringe the '386 patent and that the '386 patent is invalid. The Company filed a counterclaim for infringement of the '386 patent by Google. Claim construction proceedings were held in November 2009, and the Company prevailed on every disputed claim construction issue. In June 2010, the Company filed motions for summary judgment of patent infringement and dismissal of Google's affirmative defenses. In May 2010, Google requested and was later granted an Inter Partes Reexamination of the '386 patent by the USPTO. The reexamination proceedings are described below.

The National Strategic Framework for Health and Social Care Workforce Planning was launched at the opening ceremony of the Global Forum for Human Resources for Health, which runs until this Friday in the RDS in Dublin and is being attended by 1,000 policy-makers and researchers from around the world.\ud
\ud
Speaking at the launch, Minister Harris said; “Health workers are the backbone of sustainable health systems and increasing the recruitment and retention of staff is key to the future development of our health service. This new Framework will support an approach to workforce planning that will enable us to recruit and retain the right mix of health workers, across the health system. With a growing and ageing population this approach is essential if we are to meet the planned and projected need.\ud
\ud
“The new Framework was developed by a Cross-Sectoral Steering Group, led by my Department and including key Government Departments and agencies in the health, education and children’s sectors, in addition to health workforce researchers and academics. A full public consultation process was carried out over the summer period and the framework was finalised taking stakeholder feedback into account. I want to thank all those involved for this very important piece of work.\ud
\ud
“The objective of the Framework is to identify, agree and implement appropriate solutions to health workforce challenges – either within the health sector or inter-sectorally with education and other partners. As in many parts of the world, the health sector in Ireland is experiencing challenges in the recruitment and retention of health professionals, including doctors and nurses. Globally the WHO predicts a deficit of 18 million skilled health workers by 2030.\ud
\ud
“The Framework will be implemented over a number of years, with an action plan for the first 18 months, which focuses on the early actions we need to take to build health workforce planning capacity in the health sector, and enhance engagement between the health and education sectors. We must all now work together to deliver the health services needed by our citizens now and in the future. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

It was Christmas Day, 1995. My brother Rich and I, we're up early, we're excited, it's Christmas. He rushed into my room and in there my father had left his IBM ThinkPad and a note. "This is so you don't wake up your mother and me early. Merry Christmas." Next to it was a present. It was a video game, a football game, FIFA '96. We tore it open, put it into that laptop and we huddled around and played the match to end all matches. We played so many more matches after that, but neither of us became professional footballers. Richard? He's a lawyer. Me, I work with data to go and help organizations get that competitive edge and win. Back in '95, that game was just a video game. Nothing more. Little did we know that in the years to come you’d be able to compete in massive online competitions. More importantly, you’d be able to go and connect with people around the world that you've never met before and have a shared experience. And that's exactly what is happening. The lines between the physical and the digital world are blurring. And we're entering into a new world where we can start to dream bigger. A far cry from the '90s, video gaming has overtaken music as the most important aspect of youth culture. I see this with my children. They're much more likely to go and watch the latest video of someone playing Minecraft or Roblox than look up what the UK latest number one single is. And this has led to a shift in how we consume entertainment. We are no longer consumers of it. We are now being shared participants in an online experience. I myself love gaming. Not particularly good at it, but I love it. And I love the Formula 1 game. And that’s because I love real-world Formula 1 racing. I'm going to show you a clip why. So this is Lando Norris, one of McLaren’s Formula 1 drivers. Multiple podium wins last year driving the MCL35M -- oh, MCL36, sorry -- the car for this year in pre-season testing. Let's have a look at this. (Car engine revving) Isn't the noise of one of those just incredible? But the atmosphere, the drama, the suspense of going to one of these races and watching those cars go around, over 200 miles an hour, it's electric. But few of us will ever get to sit in one of those cars, let alone be one of those drivers on the grid. And that’s because in Formula 1, there are only 20 professional drivers. There are ten teams with two drivers per team. It's perhaps the most inaccessible sport in the world. Suffice to say, there are going to be so many people with dreams, talent and ambition to get there who will never be able to make it. I'm going to introduce you to someone called Rudy. Rudy Van Buren. He grew up in the Netherlands, next to a go-karting track. At the age of eight, he got given a birthday present, a go-cart. He was fast. He was so fast, that in 2003, Rudy won the Dutch national championships. He had dreams and aspirations of becoming a professional Formula 1 driver. Then at 16, like so many people that are trying to make that next step in the sport, it just became too expensive. And that dream for Rudy was over. I'm going to come back to Rudy later. Times change, and so does technology. Dreams are being fulfilled in a world of online gaming, especially in this class of competition called esports. Esports, at its simplest, is digital competition where you can get real-world and virtual prizes, fame and glory. There will always be spectators, in filling stadiums with spectators, athletes, fans. But now there are arenas filled with die-hard fans with gaming rigs and a new class of elite competitor. Most importantly, it's accessible. Any one of us with a PlayStation, an Xbox, a PC with a 100-dollar steering wheel can go and get involved in the thrill of competition. More importantly, you can go and connect with people and share an online experience. There are so many different types of games. Battle games, strategy games, football games -- soccer -- or racing games. The reason why I like racing so much, it's unique. It is the only digital sport that represents the real world so much. It is almost an exact twin of the physical world. As part of my day job, I work with organizations around the world. I work for a software company specialized in data. My favorite organization I work with at the moment is McLaren Racing. McLaren, founded in 1963 by the New Zealander Bruce McLaren. They’ve got an IndyCar team, they have an extreme e-team. They have my personal favorite, the Formula 1 team. Just look at that livery over there, I think it's incredible. But Bruce was an innovator. In 1963, Bruce would have never imagined that there would be a professional gaming team, the McLaren Shadow esports team, That's their car. These two cars are almost indistinguishable from each other. They're mirroring each other in the physical and the digital world of sports. I spent time with Lando, one of those drivers, talking about gaming. Lando is saying that the game, not the state-of-the-art simulators that the McLaren have, the game, is so realistic that he can tell if a bump in the road is out of place. The only thing that he feels is missing is the wind. Lando is one of these digital natives, a new class of gamer, where he drives in both the physical world and the digital world in that shared community. The difference in Formula 1 between coming first and second is a fraction of a second. When you have elite people, those 20 people in that car, the only way they can go and get better is by data. It's the only way they can differentiate themselves, using data to improve. This is exactly the same as esports. There are team managers, there are coaches, even psychologists, but most importantly, data analysts. In the racing game, the PC game, they hit out around 300 different data points in real time for you to analyze and improve what you do. Not real F1. This is the game. Things like tire temperature, brakes, acceleration, it's absolutely incredible. It's also incredibly realistic. Look at this. Sometimes you can look at this and think that could be real life. It's an immersive experience. When you're going down that, kind of the back straight, you're traveling about 293 feet per second. The difference between making that corner and dropping back and not being in the lead is a mere fraction of a second. You want to know: Are your tires at the right temperature? You want to be able to know: Are you hitting the brakes at the right moment, turning at that right moment? They're using data to improve again and again. Here's Lando playing. Lando would be playing again over lockdown. There was no Formula 1. Lando ended up gaming. The most empowering part about this, it wasn't just he was using this to practice his skill. It was he was connecting with an online community, an absolutely unprecedented access to Lando, the sports person. Something you don't normally get. Over lockdown, there was no sport. Journalists started writing about esports. Mainstream broadcasters started broadcasting esports on primary channels. We started looking at esports in the millions. It was sport. It was the only sport. People under 20 are much more likely to start to watch esports or watch esports, than go and have a look at traditional sports. The Commonwealth Games this summer is going to have esports alongside traditional sports. The Asian Games later this year are going to have it as a medal event alongside traditional sports. The gaming industry is three times bigger than the music industry. It's going to double by 2025. The most important part about it is it's redefining our notion of what is sports and competition and how we get into that accessible world of fun, of connecting with people and enjoying ourselves. Now, I mentioned Rudy earlier. For Rudy, his dream hit a wall. He started gaming. He really enjoyed it. Then when he was 25, he saw a competition: World's Fastest Gamer. 30,000 people entered this. Rudy won. Rudy got a professional contract with the McLaren simulator team. This led on to Rudy getting a contract for Huber racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and the Super GT Cup. Rudy is winning some of the most difficult competitions in the world. Just like he did in the virtual world. Play gives us new possibilities. The technology is closing the gap between our aspirations and our access to that opportunity. It's closing down barriers, geographic barriers, social barriers, economic barriers. It enabled Rudy to go and live his dream. We all have dreams and this is allowing us to go and fulfill our dreams. A new generation of people is starting to understand what it really means to go and live in a world augmented by technology. The relevance of it, the context of it, what it actually means to go and connect with people and technology being part of everything. They are able to go and reimagine the world around them. They’re more data literate than ever. They're ready to go and create that next wave of innovation. This really is the new era for play. And it's open to everyone. Thank you. (Applause) | 0 | 1 | 0 |

This thesis is based on a comparative study of forest use and land use for forestry in Sweden and Chile. Processes of forestry development in the two countries are placed in relation to world forestry. Theoretically, the thesis draws insights and conceptualisations from historical materialism, critical theory and world systems theory to work with a framework combining political ecology and environmental communication. The thesis deals with forestry, forest use and land use in times where the importance of wood biomass is fundamental as climate change challenges are substantially defined by the use of forests and land. In this context, the changing meanings and materiality of forests, forestry and land use constitute a fundamental political process today at both national and global levels. One main focus in the research has been to explore current processes linking forestry and climate change politics and how they are materialized in two geographical areas; the study areas having been Ñuble province in Chile and Jämtland- Västernorrland in Sweden.\ud
\ud
The thesis analyses both contemporary and past events influencing the present situation of forestry in the two countries, uses incorporated comparison as a specific comparative approach and is methodologically informed by notions of dialectics. Analysis of discourses, observations, interviews and other methods have been put together along with theoretical reasoning on the constitution and transformation of historically specific social-ecological relations. The thesis empirically shows relations between social changes associated with forestry and theoretically draws from, and elaborates on, different forms of critical theory. An important finding of this thesis is the deep interconnection between forestry in Chile and forestry in Sweden. The study also shows that forestry development in Chile influences the overall situation of forestry in Sweden and vice versa. In this regard, forestry in the two countries has been shown to form and be formed through the historical development of world forestry. The thesis also shows how climate change has transformed discursive practices of forestry in the two countries. In addition, the thesis highlights labour questions, movement of resistance related to capitalist forestry development and specific discourses articulating forestry development in the two countries. A main conclusion of the thesis is that the conflictive nature of forestry in Chile and Sweden is greatly entangled with processes of environmental communication and political ecology relations; relations that are today formed to an important degree through use value and exchange value contradictions | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Road Protect (Pty) Ltd Telemarketing Wesbank Snowman
Just got a call. The telemarketer let it sound that it is a benefit automatically part of your Wesbank loan. Then they just want to confirm your vehicle registration number.... I did not fall for that, did not give it... and rather asked what does it cost? R95.
Then I asked if its already part of my payment, as I did not give authority for this cross sell product. (discount on tires for who'ever, assistance to pay speed fines, etc) R1140 per year, they crazy! (and you never get them off your debit orders, ever again).
Eventually I figured its not part of my Wesbank agreements (else the guy would have know my vehicle registration number) and he confirmed that it is not part of anything I pay right now... that is why he is confirming the details...
So they pretend NOT TO SELL ANYTHING, tell you what you get (and here is the lie : "as a benefit of your wesbank finance", and then trying to get you to confirm things.
What a scam....
Wesbank, how does these guys get my details?
Road Protect (Pty) Ltd: What a shame on you. In a country where people struggle to make ends meet, and you have this dodgy approach getting money from people. (to say you will investigate this will just be another lie. Your telemarketers has scripts planned by you.. they do not thumb such this approach). Therefore you whole business model is suspicious.
THIS IS A WARNING FOR ANYONE OUT THERE. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
My sister and mother are exactly like this. It's so funny to watch them argue, because it usually goes like this;
Mother: You did x, I'm going to have to punish you.
Sister: Well I did x because you did y, so it's your fault.
Mother: Well I did y because you did z, so it's your fault.
Rinse and repeat. My sister's 15, can you tell? | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Cute coffee place located right near work, so I stop by for an iced chai and a muffin before my morning shift. The staff is super friendly and knows my order by heart, which I love. Pretty good chai, too! Not the best but much better than some other places, and when it's made like soy, it still tastes spicy and delicious (unlike a chai I had at Cartel which tasted purely like soy, super disappointing). I haven't tried their Avalanches yet, but I really want to, they look really good. Prices are decent too, about $5 for a medium chai and a delicious muffin.
I think the decor is cute too, looks like it belongs up north in Flagstaff or Sedona.
All in all, if you're in the area, definitely stop by, but I wouldn't necessarily go far out of my way for it. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

This will change physics forever until the next discovery that changes physics forever. We don't stop research just because of the newest big discovery. Physics didn't stop when I got my degree 50 years ago. So much has been discovered since then that my education is far behind. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
