Google has acquired SageTV for an undisclosed sum. The company has been developing media center software for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X since 2002.
SageTV has also developed software to stream television to any computer with internet access. Google did not announce any plans what it will do with the new acquisition, but it seems likely that the company will integrate SageTv with its fledgling Google TV service
Sage TV commented on its company website: "Since 2002, we've worked to change the TV viewing experience by building cutting-edge software and technology that allows you to create and control your media center from multiple devices. And as the media landscape continues to evolve, we think it's time our vision of entertainment management grows as well. By teaming up with Google, we believe our ideas will reach an even larger audience of users worldwide on many different products, platforms and services.
We've seen how Google's developer efforts are designed to stimulate innovation across the web, and as developers have played a core role in the success of SageTV, we think our shared vision for open technology will help us advance the online entertainment experience."

Okay, I am a nerd. And yes, I do prefer the Oxford comma. And this is a good example of why:
… highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector.
From the comments:
If I ruled the world, the Oxford comma would be required by law. But then my world wouldn't be nearly as funny as this one, in which Mandela is a very old dildo-collecting demigod.
Also in the comments is another good example favoring the Oxford comma:
I'd like to thank my parents, George W. Bush and Oprah Winfrey.
Consider yourself normal if you have no idea what an Oxford comma is.

So I too have my issues, no clue where they came from or why. The aggression, the up and down emotions, the lack of empathy so on. Fortunately it seems that Zoloft tends to be my friend, doesnt make the issues go away but manages them. Seems the older I get the worse it becomes w/o medication.

Mozeliak on Shift from Right to Left
Pleased with what the St. Louis Cardinals were able to do before the MLB trade deadline, President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak also acknowledged that not everybody may feel the same way.
"They're probably not the most exciting moves to all the people out there watching or hearing, but for us, we did feel like we accomplished some goals," said Mozeliak.
Describing the situation as a chance to get a "peek" at the future while competing in the present, Mozeliak stressed the internal expectations of winning or how they plan to finish the season are the same today as a month ago.
"Candidly, I feel like they're different and they're more positive," he stated. "I really feel like what you're feeling in the clubhouse and what you're seeing is refreshing. I can imagine if you're one of those younger players that are getting this chance, you're excited. Now again, it boils down to wins, losses, and performance so in the end that's how we'll be judged."
Around the NL Central, there were more high profile moves like the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired pitcher Chris Archer and the Chicago Cubs added reliever Brandon Knitzler.
"It's a competitive division, but when you look at our season if we play well we'll be okay," said Mozeliak. "We'll be in that. But it comes down to creating that environment, and I think right now we're in a good spot. The feeling in the clubhouse is very positive. Let's go see how we play."
A question was asked how the team was better today after losing their best hitter from a year ago in Tommy Pham and their top starting pitcher in Carlos Martinez going on the disabled list?
"Certainly losing Carlos is a hit, but we don't think it's season ending and ultimately, when you look at our rotation, we feel like we have some depth there," replied Mozeliak. "And to just go out and make a knee jerk reaction to appease you is not the right strategy."
In their first move of the day, the team traded outfielder Tommy Pham to Tampa in exchange for three minor leaguers.
"I think we said we felt we were pretty right-handed," said Mozeliak. "We were hoping to add some left-handed bats to our system and I feel we did that. In terms of really what was the strategy going into this, it really hasn't changed from what we said two weeks ago and that was we're going to give some of our younger players a chance. That's why you saw the big change last week in our bullpen, and ultimately now you're going to see the opportunity to give some of our outfielders a chance."
In exchange for Pham, the Cardinals received outfielder Justin Williams, left-hander Genesis Cabrera, and right-handed reliever Roel Ramirez.
"Starting with Williams as the bat and the outfielder, one of the things that we were just trying to do was get someone that we'd have a left-handed option in the outfield," said Mozeliak. "That was something we felt was important. When you look at what he's done in the minor leagues, these are projections. He's been a solid player. One of the things we were trying to do is not get too heavily involved in outfielders but when we were talking with Tampa that was a place we felt comfortable with.
"When you talk about the left-hander, that's an electric arm. A lot of our pitching depth right now is on the right side so having someone that we feel can start and be on the left side made sense, and the other guy that we got in the deal just has a power arm, older pitcher, but you're trying to take a chance and we feel good about that."
The desire for more left-handed bats in the outfield factored into the decision in moving Memphis outfielder Oscar Mercado, which also allowed the Cardinals to add some prospects below the higher levels and at younger ages.
"When you're looking at our depth at Triple-A, I just felt like it was getting very crowded," said Mozeliak. "We were able to move him for two younger outfielders that when you're looking at sort of spacing and projection fits our timeline a little better."
While there has been some new youth brought into the organization with these moves–and the likes of Bader, O'Neill, and young arms will get a chance out of the bullpen, there is not an immediate plan for more Memphis call ups.
"This team is the team we're comfortable with at this point," said Mozeliak. "I think a lot of times the trade deadline allows some people just to breathe because they weren't traded or they're still here and you hope that they're still happy that they're here. I think in this particular case there are a few individuals that would say yes to that. So now, there's still the ability to trade, it's just a little trickier and it has to be handled appropriately with waivers. But I think for us, again, I feel like where this club is and the energy you're seeing in that clubhouse is a positive."

Zennea Technologies Takes Top Prize at SFU's Largest Entrepreneurship CompetitionFriday, February 23, 2018
Company Profile | Careers | Follow Company
Winning student venture offers a 'sleep wearable' alternative to improve sleep apnea
Vancouver, BC, February 23, 2018--(T-Net)--Zennea Technologies, a Simon Fraser University student venture aiming to improve sleep quality for those with sleep apnea, has taken the best overall venture prize valued at $35,000 at the annual Coast Capital Savings Venture Prize competition.
"We're incredibly grateful for the mentorship, support, and resources that we've received from Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection and SFU," says Ryan Threlfall, co-CEO of Zennea Technologies and an SFU Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) student.
The team receives $10,000 cash and $25,000 in 'in-kind' prizes.
"We value the mentorship, friendship and support we've received as a part of Venture Connection. It's an amazing community that deserves much of the credit for our victory."
The team of MSE and business students, part of the Technology Entrepreneurship at SFU program, is working to create 'sleep wearables,' including a smaller, portable battery-operated alternative to the large CPAP machines for those who have sleep apnea. They also hope their product will reduce snoring, track the quality of sleep, and help improve overall health.
The team also took the top prize at SFU's 2017 Opportunity Fest.
The Venture Prize, presented by the Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection program at SFU, is in its seventh year of celebrating entrepreneurial excellence at the university.
Following on preliminary rounds, entrepreneurs from the SFU community pitched their start-up ventures in a final dragon's den-style event in hopes of winning the Top Venture Prize award or one of several other category and attribute prizes.
Open to SFU staff, faculty, students and recent alumni, this year's competition received 45 entries. The competition reflects the Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection's broad and inclusive approach to early ventures and innovation, recognizing winners in various categories including science, scalable technology and small business.
Additional prizes reward ventures in the idea stage, those founded by women and SFU alumni, and those focused on social impact. New this year is the Penguin Pivot prize, awarded to teams who take daring risks and pivot when they realize their venture is best suited for something new.
In total, a record $40,000+ in cash and more than $35,000 of 'in-kind' prizes were up for grabs at last week's final competition. The finals were hosted downtown at the law firm of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP. BLG is also one of the event sponsors, joined by PwC, SFU Innovates, Charles Chang Institute for Entrepreneurship, SFU Alumni Association, SFU's Industry Engagement Office, SAGE Accounting, RADIUS SFU, Bucketlist, Futurpreneur and New Ventures BC.
Among the other winners are:
Top Small Business award: Mr. Arancinco: Mr. Arancino's risotto balls, called arancini, are an innovative take on a traditional Sicilian recipe. Mr. Arancino's food trailer can be found around Downtown Vancouver or parked at one of the four breweries down 'Brewer's Row' in Port Moody.
Top Science Venture award: Biointeractive Technologies (BIT): BIT is a technology company that has developed TENZR, a gesture recognition wristband controller, for the virtual reality and augmented reality industry;
Top Scalable Tech award: Daily Delivery: A crowd-sourced, same-day/on-demand delivery service, Daily Delivery extends the reach of e-commerce platforms, retailers and multi-chain and omni-channel stores
Penguin Pivot Prize: Piva Concepts: Piva Concepts is an ancillary value-added company that creates turn-key cannabis edibles product lines, which are then packaged and taken on by licensed producers to be manufactured and sold legally.
Rachel Chase and Nell Du, top prize winner Zennea Technologies team members, were recognized with the Female-Founded award while BioInteractive Technologies also received the Alumni Founder prize. RADIUS SFU's Social Impact award went to CareCrew, while the Idea Prize was awarded to Employ to Empower.
While the Venture Prize has been recognizing entrepreneurial excellence at SFU for seven years, Coast Capital Savings has been supporting Venture Connection since 2008.
"Our partnership with SFU aligns with our promise to help build a richer future for youth in our communities," says Bruce Schouten, interim President and CEO, Coast Capital Savings. "Some of the world's most important breakthroughs have come from youth, right here in Canada. This year's participants impressed us with their passion and ingenuity, and that is why Coast Capital continues to be involved in this important program that empowers youth to be curious, to innovate and to follow their instincts. On behalf of Coast Capital Savings, I would like to congratulate Zennea Technologies on their win, and congratulations to all of this year's participants."
Joy Johnson, SFU's Vice-President, Research and International, says, "SFU Innovates is a university-wide strategy that seeks to strengthen SFU's commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship. As one of SFU Innovates' programs, Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection delivers on this commitment by providing students the support needed to move their ideas into action. On behalf of the SFU community, I would like to congratulate this year's applicants and award winners."
Since 2008, the Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection program at SFU has been providing support for University ventures from initial idea to business validation. It offers an early-stage business incubator, mentorship, co-op terms, competitions, networking, speaker events, workshops, seminars, and other business resources. SFU's flagship entrepreneurship program has supported more than 8,000 individuals from the SFU community, ranging from students, staff, faculty, and recent alumni and provided startup services to over 175 early ventures.

What is Sale Deed?
A sale deed is one of the most valued legal documents in a purchase or sale of a property. It is administered by the Registration Act and is a significant document for both the buyer or the transferee and the seller or the transferor.
How is it prepared?
The buyer and the seller decide to prepare a draft sale deed on non-judicial stamp paper. This value of the sale deed will differ from state to state and it is generally as prescribed by the Stamp Act of the respective State.
Once the following particulars in the sale deed is settled between the two parties the sale deed is ready to be signed and it is required to be signed by at least two witnesses with all their details encompassed.
How does it work?
The sale deed is registered at the jurisdictional sub-registrar's office. The buyer and seller of the property under sale as well as the witnesses should also be present at the time of registration.
In case if the buyer or seller is not in a situation to be physically present then his nominated agent authorized with a Power of Attorney is lawfully allowed to implement the sale deed.
The original documents correlated to the sale of the property must be produced within 4 months from the date the sale deed to be executed. If this is not possible the registrar might allow a grace period if he deems fit. However, this deferral might attract a maximum penalty of 10 times the registration charges related to the property.
Usually, the buyer would pay the stamp duty and the registration charges. And the seller on his part should ensure that all payments related to the property was paid before the sale deed is executed.
Advantages of a Sale Deed
- Safeguards Parties
The sale deed protects the rights of both the parties. A specific, well-drafted deed will avoid uncertainty and reduce legal risks.
- Defines the Area
For the buyer, a key benefit is having on paper a well-defined explanation of the property.
- Term/Tenure
It requires approx.4 working days to make and deliver the deed and in case of modification.

Farm and land spring sales: What and how you should prepare
Those looking to put farms on the market in spring should use the winter months to prepare and enhance the value of their property, advise agents.
Despite moves towards a year-round launch trend in recent years, spring remains a popular time to advertise a farm.
Farmers are being advised that a more proactive approach to preparation in the coming weeks could pay off in six months' time.
In the case of the three Ds – death, debt and divorce – which remain the main reasons farms are brought to market, good planning and a long lead-in time is not always possible.
See also: How to choose the right way to sell your farmland
But for retirees, strategic sales and those consolidating holdings, autumn is the optimum time for preparations, says Andrew Chandler, partner at Carter Jonas.
He recommends sellers targeting farm launches from March 2019 should begin getting things in order now.
Shorter days and less fieldwork gives more time to gather paperwork and schedule a programme of maintenance that ensures the farm looks its best for viewings.
"Buyers are getting more discerning, and if you aren't selling a farm in a competitive hotspot, you need to make sure you are bringing something that really shines," he said.
The winter window gives ample time to increase the value of the farm by obtaining planning permission for certain buildings.
He says farmers who are going to sell in the spring and have buildings that could fall under permitted development rights are "missing a trick" by not obtaining the basic permissions that could increase sale value.
"If you're in an area that allows permitted development and Class Q it's well worth putting in the 56-day notice.
"In 2016, I was working for Adkin and sold Lyford Grange in Oxfordshire, which had a set of buildings where we got permitted development rights just before the launch.
"It put an underlying value on the buildings, which meant they went from being possibly worth £200,000 to definitely being worth £450,000. It's about taking out the uncertainty.
Mr Chandler cautions that blanket overage clauses (which give the seller the right to be paid a proportion of any increase in value when planning permission is obtained subsequent to the sale) are turning buyers off and are one of the main reasons why negotiations stall.
What should spring sellers be working on?
General maintenance: clearing ditches, felling dead trees, repairing buildings and working on the general aesthetics of a property will mean it shines in the spring.
Planning permission: whether it's full planning permission or permitted development rights, sellers have time to put applications in which will give confidence and clarity to would-be buyers over what potential the farm has for investment.
Paperwork: preparing cropping schedules, finding wayleaves, documenting sporting averages and making drainage maps available are all jobs that can be done now and not left until spring when fieldwork begins to take over.
All of these will be required so it is as well to gather them in good time.
Professional advice: meet your bank manager, accountant, solicitor and farm agent to tell them about your plans and take advice on what you need to do to get your affairs in order.
Pictures: if the farm is looking good and the weather is clear, take photographs. If, like 2019, the rest of the market is delayed because brochure photography can't be completed due to the weather, you will have a competitive advantage.
You also have the option to launch at any time if photographs are already taken.

Are computers getting better than humans at reading?
30th Jan 2018
Computers are getting better than humans at reading.
They're not. "Even elementary school reading comprehensions are harder" than the test computers passed, says the test's creator. It's an academic milestone not a practical one.
"Computers are getting better than humans at reading [...] This is the first time that a machine has outperformed humans on such a test."
CNN, 16 January 2018
"Designed to tease out whether machine-learning models can process large amounts of information before supplying precise answers to queries."
Bloomberg, 15 January 2018
Three teams of computer scientists have set new records in computer reading comprehension, achieving the highest scores ever on a standard test called 'SQuAD' which is designed to test reading and understanding by artificial intelligence.
For the first time these scores are better than the benchmark set by humans doing the same test.
It's a fascinating achievement but the comparison to human readers is less impressive than it seems and so is the task: one of the computer scientists behind SQuAD told the Verge, "even elementary school reading comprehensions are harder". These computers aren't going to put you out of a job—yet.
As for being the first, IBM had computers beating quiz show contestants back in 2011.
This is not a test of reading as humans do it
The SQuAD test is designed to assess how well computers can process a small paragraph of text and give the correct answer to a question about it.
The exact answer to the test question is always present in the paragraph given to a computer, so it can be answered, effectively, with a single cut and paste.
It's debatable whether cutting and pasting a piece of text as an answer to a question faster and more accurately than a human does mean that a computer is reading 'better' than humans can.
The grand reports that computers are able to read about and understand large amounts of information to answer specific questions aren't justified.
This is not like a computer beating a grandmaster at chess
The phrasing of the claims reported by CNN might suggest SQuAD's test is a competitive task in which top human readers compete against computers in a direct challenge, similar to previous examples using popular games like Chess, Go, or Jeopardy. That's not what the test does.
The human score in SQuAD is not a benchmark of how well humans can do on the same test, it is actually there to help provide examples of questions which are poorly defined or not specific enough.
As Senior Lecturer at Bar Ilan University in Israel, Yoav Goldberg, says: "SQuAD was not designed to be a realistic assessment of 'reading comprehension' in the popular sense [...] It was designed as a benchmark for machine learning methods, and the human evaluation was performed to assess the quality of the dataset, not the humans' abilities."
In the example below, the human score was driven down because one person answered "Edinburgh" as the home of Scottish Parliament, while another two people put "Scottish Parliament building". That shows the question was poorly defined.
Even assuming that the "human score" was designed as a fair representation of human reading ability, the actual human readers in SQuAD probably don't represent the best humans can do.
The people involved were encouraged to answer a question in a fairly short time frame of 24 seconds. They received a financial reward of $0.06 cents per answer.
It's fair to say that's a small reward for US and Canadian citizens working on the task, especially when compared against the 2011 Jeopardy case, where two former winners competed against a computer for a $1 million cash prize.
Computers have beaten humans at quizzes before
It is a matter of debate whether, as CNN put it, this is the first time that a machine has outperformed humans on a test like this.
A famous artificial intelligence reading comprehension result is the Jeopardy win by IBM Watson computer over two former human winners of the popular game show in 2011.
To answer Jeopardy questions the computer had to search through vast amounts of knowledge, including the entirety of Wikipedia. That can be seen as much harder task than selecting the best phrase out of a paragraph of 200 words for a single question in the SQuAD task.
If you're a computer and you're reading this…
...please send us an email and we will update the factcheck.

Do you need makeup brushes?
Do they help?
Are they expensive?
The good ones are.
When I was working as a makeup artist, I had this very exchange a thousand times. Makeup brushes are only good if you know how to use them. It's not rocket science, but it is tricky sometimes. I would suggest to purchase pricey brushes for what you use the most. For example, if you wear eyeshadow religiously, then invest in these. If you are a blusher, get a good blush brush. The good news is that you don't have to buy ALL of these at once.
For some reason, people would stress themselves out at the counter contemplating a second mortgage.
Here are a few eyeshadow brushes I L-O-V-E!! I've had these for years. I do wash my brushes with face wash or a gentle body wash, and so far so good.
Best All-Round
This brush is great for everything eyeshadow. It's also a phenomenal blending brush. I would recommend this for a first investment. It's from Nars, Eye Shader Brush #3 and is $55.
Best for Brow Bone
This brush is wonderful for getting shadow on the brow bone perfectly. It's also great for "smoking out" the outer edge of the eyelid. It's also from Nars, Eye Contour Brush #14 and is $28.
Best for Eyeliner
I heart eyeliner, and I double heart setting my eyeliner with shadow — this brush is perfect for that task. I also use just shadow as eyeliner sometimes, and this is my pal that helps me do this! It's from MAC, Small Angle Brush #266 and costs $20 (there's also a #263 for $19).
Happy Eye-shadowing!

Last week, just in time for the cold weather of this week, we were able to get our asbestos covered hot oil heater from possibly the 1920s removed and replaced with an energy star gas heat system. This took many many many phone calls and discussion amongst different groups of people.
One of the biggest drawbacks that we could come up with of doing this type of conversion is the cost. However, it was a lot less than what we thought it was to get the asbestos out, as well as the oil tank and oil in the tank.
We used two different companies to take care of this job over two days. The asbestos removal took from 7 AM to about 2 PM and made the heater go from white to black as shown in the 2nd picture. Thankfully the weather held up and stayed in the 60s since we had no heat.
The next day at 7AM the gas guys came in very pleased with the condition of the heater. Loud banging, drilling, and thumping commenced for hours later and when I left for my parent's house at 5, the electrician was still working. He did not leave until about 6 or 6:30. The result of that was the third picture: an energy efficient gas heater that takes up about 80% less space and will not leave oil puddles or cause us to need to contact Jim Sokolove.
The heat has been working fairly well…we still need to find our programmable thermostat so we can be more accurate in our heating levels. Only a few more major projects to do on the house for now…painting two rooms and possibly the hallway, putting up new molding in the kitchen, and then figuring out what to do in the deck area.

Liverpool and Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing highly-rated winger Sam McQueen ahead of the forthcoming transfer window, according to The Sun.
The Premier League duo, who currently sit third and 11th in the English top-flight standings respectively after their opening 10 league fixtures, have both been impressed by the Southampton youngster's performances so far this term.
The 21-year-old, who enjoyed a loan spell at League One outfit Southend United earlier this year, has scored one goal and provided one assist in six appearances in all competitions for the Saints so far this season.
McQueen, who has been with the south coast side since he was eight-years-old, has flourished in Claude Puel's first-team squad since filling in for the injured duo of Ryan Bertrand and Matthew Targett at left-back, despite predominantly being a winger.
But with just 18 months remaining on his current deal at Southampton, defending Premier League champions Leicester fancy McQueen as a long-term replacement for Christian Fuchs, whilst Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is still on the look out for a new full-back, having been unconvinced by Alberto Moreno's services.

On 17th May, we were delighted to hold our first-ever Partnership Day. It was a real pleasure to welcome individuals and organisations from across the Skills Builder Partnership to talk about how they are using the Framework and Principles to transform essential skills - as well as a brilliant opportunity to share experiences with others.
A huge 'thank you' to everyone who attended this inspiring and energising event. We are enormously excited about the future of the Skills Builder approach - and deeply indebted to everyone in the Partnership for their ongoing work to ensure everyone builds the essential skills to succeed.
Read on for some of the best quotes and video highlights of the day.
Melanie Richards, Chair of the KPMG Foundation and Deputy Chair of KPMG started the day by talking about the power of collaboration, and the impact a group of committed organisations can have when pursuing a common goal.
See how they embed skills into their WorkReady programme
Our Founder & CEO Tom Ravenscroft then reflected on the rapid growth of the Partnership since its launch just a year ago - 520+ schools, 130+ employers and 50+ skills-building organisations are now using the Skills Builder approach.
Watch Tom's introduction speech:
Next, Emma Birchall, Head of Insight + Forecasting at Hot Spots Movement - a leading research consultancy focused on the future of work - explained the increasing need for diverse experiences, lifelong learning and essential skills as our lifespans increase.
Our first spotlight was Rachel Saunders, Education Director at Business in the Community. She talked about how the Framework has already been embedded into their work with schools and businesses, and their plans to expand this in future.
See how they are using the Framework with partners
Next to speak was Ian Peters, Deputy Headteacher at Manor Green School in Maidenhead, which caters to over 200 students with a wide range of special needs. They have been teaching essential skills using the Expanded Skills Builder Framework.
See a recent trip they made to employer Thames Water
Our organisations spotlight was Joel Balkwill, CEO of Spiral, which provides a range of workshops and events to help young people make the most of their potential. They've used the Framework to structure their programmes and allow for more rigorous assessment.
See how they have been embedding the Framework
We heard from Chimene Peddie, Head of Enterprise at Hornsey School for Girls, about the many ways the school has integrated essential skills teaching into the everyday curriculum - from running classroom Projects to weaving skills into other subject areas.
Our last spotlight was from Claudia Harris, CEO of The Careers & Enterprise Company, who talked about our strategic partnership, which has included linking the Framework to their existing work with the Gatsby Benchmarks for careers provision.
Read about our strategic partnership
Samantha Butters, CEO of The Fair Education Alliance, kicked off the afternoon's discussions by sharing her vision for building the Framework into national education policy, so that skills education becomes the status quo for every student.
Read the FEA's latest Report Card featuring our approach
Paul Drechsler, Chair of Teach First (and former President of the Confederation of British Industry) talked about how the Skills Builder approach should be adopted as widely as possible to make the most of the current generation's potential.
Finally, Dame Julia Cleverdon, Founder & Trustee of Step Up to Serve, spoke about the importance of a consistent approach to building essential skills, as well as emphasising the need to expand the Skills Builder approach into apprenticeships.

We're constantly looking for ways to reinforce our clients' position as leaders in their industry. A great way to do this is to comment on 'Issues of the Day'.
How do we do this? Two techniques that we use are:
– Daily news scanning where we scan the news for breaking stories which our clients can then provide expert and insightful comments or opinions on.
– Keeping our contacts live we are constantly talking to journalists, either pitching new stories, or following up on interviews, articles, releases or features and we keep our ear to the ground in these conversations for any hint of breaking news. And, if a story is breaking as we are on the telephone with a journalist, we ensure that, where relevant, our clients provide up to the minute expert opinion. How? We ensure that our client becomes a positive part of the breaking news story by working with them to draft insightful opinions on the given issue and then make sure that these expert comments hit the right desk as the news breaks.
EBay – gaining our client valuable 'thought leadership' coverage by providing up to the minute expert comment on the "Issue of the Day". How did we do it?
Whilst on an update call with a key journalist we got a sniff of the EBay user data breach. One of our clients is a cyber security specialist and we worked to quickly get his comments on this specific hack. As a result were able to provide key journalists with insightful opinion from a cyber crime expert as they were writing their news, gaining our client prime coverage in heavyweight media including BBC News, Internet Retailer, Global News, Threatpost and SC Magazine. We also followed up by securing best practice advice articles on protecting e-commerce websites, including Internet Retailer.
Commenting on "Issues of the Day" is just one of the PR tactics we use. To find out more about how PR can put your company on the map, get in touch.

Twenty-five years ago, Judy Greenberg and Jack Rasmussen founded Rockville Arts Space. That undertaking evolved into VisArts at Rockville, which is celebrating the anniversary with "Review Renew," curated by Greenberg and Rasmussen. The show contains two pieces, one recent and one less so, by six local artists, as well as then-and-now portraits of them, mostly by photographer Paul Feinberg. The exhibition, in the center's Kaplan Gallery, is supplemented by a selection of work by four glass and ceramic artists, down the hall at the Common Ground Gallery.
Of the six artists, four are still active. Manon Cleary, known for hyper-realist paintings that often featured pet white rats, died in 2011; Tom Green, who created his own vocabulary of glyphlike forms, died this year. Their presence in the show gives it an elegiac quality, but the work of the other four artists (the youngest of whom was born in 1947) is wholly vital. Without some guidance, for example, it would be hard to tell which of the Sam Gilliam pieces is from 1980 and which from 2009.
Often associated with the Washington Color School, Gilliam has expanded on that movement's innovations, in part by shaping or draping his canvases. His "Architectural Notions for a New Nursery," the 1980 painting, has a patchwork look yet epic sweep. Green's 1968 "Sultana" is more muted but also defies the canvas's customary shape, leaving a void at the center.
The other three artists paint figuratively, if not always realistically. Joe Shannon's 2012 "Dianna and Actaeon" exuberantly illustrates the tale of the goddess who turns a man into a stag after she catches him watching her bathe. The theme of transformation is underscored by the near-abstract ground behind them. Similarly mythological are Lisa Montag Brotman's 1980 "The Rituals of Invitation," with two figures atop a field of red blooms or tendrils, and Margarida Kendall Hull's "The Survivors II," depicting a mismatched trio (including one with a ram's head) posed before a war scene.
The vibe is a little gentler at Common Ground. But Robert Devers's tile painting, "Spirit of Place," shows an erupting volcano, and Margaret Boozer's "Black Landscape" is a dark, seemingly dry wasteland of stoneware and wood. Mindy Weisel's 12-panel "Parallel Tracks," made of kiln-formed glass, throws colorful patterns on the wall, while Tim Tate's "Lexicon Primer," a set of 30 glass hands, also creates an abundance of shadows. In their own way, these four artists share Gilliam's quest for new forms and surprising depths.
Although his style has changed over the years, Chuck Close's focus has not. He came to prominence as a portraitist and remains one, an ironic reflection of his limited ability to remember faces. Originally a photorealist, the New York artist has long experimented with other techniques, designed to simultaneously fracture and preserve the image. "Chuck Close: New Work," at Adamson Gallery, showcases two recent strategies.
The Watercolor Prints are digitally scanned from Close originals, then printed in watercolor. The six examples in this show are overwhelmingly large — heads and shoulders more than six feet high — yet delicately hued. Each contains about 15,000 marks, with multiple colors underlying each other. Yet the dots cohere into recognizable likenesses, including a self-portrait and images of such fellow artists as Kara Walker and Cindy Sherman.
The other seven portraits, known as Felt Hand Stamps, also divide visages into an array of what might be called pixels. These smaller works are built with single-color daubs of oil paint, applied in three layers with stamps. As in all of Close's portraits, there's an element of the mechanical, which began with the artist's use of photography. Yet Close's essential subject, as well as the intricate blending of colors, makes each piece as distinctive and complex as a human face.
Photographs used to be exclusively black and white; drawings rendered with charcoal, graphite or India and sumi ink still are. Those media are well represented in "Grayscale," a group exhibition of 14 artists's work at the Mansion at Strathmore. But there are also prints, acrylic paintings, fabric works and sculpture in gray and white polymer clay. The lack of color proves to be a limit, not a limitation.
Working without color, many of the artists emphasize detail. Timur Azaev's pencil drawings boast near-photographic precision; Carl E. Kurtz's intricate drawings suggest Islamic calligraphy and European illuminated manuscripts; and Palma Brozzetti's photo of a Wyoming sky seems to capture every tuft of cloud. Yet some pieces draw power from mystery. Michael Nichols's silverpoints of faces have a ghostly faintness, and mist obliterates the distinction between water and sky in Timothy Lynch's photo of Canada geese landing. Most ethereal of all are two pieces in Margot Neuhaus's "Black Line" series, which begin with a vertical stroke of black ink on a large sheet of paper. Then the artist tears the paper and overlaps the two pieces, leaving just a hint of the black. The work could hardly be simpler, or the result more intriguing.
Sometimes, it's hard to discern how a piece of art was made. For example, the abstract circular drawings in "Current Recorder," Billy Friebele's show at Hamiltonian Gallery. Why are their spindly lines punctuated by round blotches of color?
The answer is close at hand: The device that created the drawings sits in the center of the gallery. Constructed from found objects, which include the shopping cart that supports it, the recorder is a wind- or fan-powered automatic art-making machine. Multi-colored Sharpie pens dangle from the rotating device, sketching circles on paper when they're in motion and allowing ink to seep into the paper when they're not. Friebele writes that the work "gives visibility to flux and ephemerality," invoking a very loose translation of a line from Heraclitus, the pre-Socratic philosopher. But the drawings are also lovely on their own terms, and the recorder is a nifty repurposing of urban detritus. Where Heraclitus extolled the universe's randomness, "Current Recorder" makes the case for a little human intervention.

A recent judgment in a class action suit provides an example of the dangers of vicarious liability for TCPA violations when purchasing leads. In the July 15th, 2019 summary judgment for Braver v. NorthStar Alarm Systems, LLC, the Western District of Oklahoma court found NorthStar Alarm Systems vicariously liable for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) committed by a source from whom NorthStar had purchased leads.
NorthStar Alarm Systems, a security company, purchased leads from Yodel Technologies, whose TCPA violations in the case are not in dispute. Yodel cold-called lists of telephone numbers using a soundboard system and transferred the leads to NorthStar, either as warm transfers or by giving NorthStar the information to call the numbers later. NorthStar did not make any of the calls that produced the violations but the court found that NorthStar is liable for the violations under all of the three possible theories under which a non-caller may be held vicariously liable for TCPA violations: actual/classical agency, apparent authority, and ratification.
The court's determination was based on a number of aspects of coordination between NorthStar and Yodel, including that: NorthStar reviewed a sample script and Yodel proceeded with the understanding that they would use that script; the script accurately described NorthStar's security system; NorthStar was aware that Yodel was using soundboard technology; NorthStar directed Yodel to make calls to phone numbers in zip codes where NorthStar did business, thus playing a part in deterring which phone numbers were called; Yodel uploaded consumer lead data directly into NorthStar's telemarketing software; NorthStar updated Yodel about its sales based on Yodel's leads; and NorthStar received complaints about Yodel and had a policy for responding to these complaints. Of note, none of these aspects of coordination seem particularly out of the ordinary for a relationship between a lead purchaser and seller.
This class action judgment potentially leaves NorthStar with between $126,000,000 and $379,000,000 of exposure for 252,765 calls at issue made by Yodel over a nine-month time span. Apparently, NorthStar only acquired 150 customers from these calls. But even if the strategy had been more successful in generating positive leads, this case still highlights the importance of having a rigorous TCPA compliance strategy which regards to purchasing leads.

Apparently some exclusive type of coffee bean is collected from cat droppings in indonesia
"In the early 19th century the Dutch established coffee plantations in Java and Sumatra, but prohibited the native farmers from collecting the prized beans for their own use. But the farmers soon realised that the Luwaks consumed the coffee berries and left the coffee beans undigested in their droppings. They then collected, cleaned, roasted and ground the coffee beans so that they too could enjoy this precious beverage."
News to me. Or maybe you lot drink that all the time?
thought it was a joke
someone posted it on facebook - I'm not clued in on coffee
got some at the algerian coffee store
expensive but pretty good, wouldn't drink it a lot though.
heard something about how the farmers are getting ripped off and it's being overpriced and kind of a bad scene.
- heartworms this'd this
Apparently the digestive enzymes enhance the bean - surely they could make the enzymes (recombinantly?) and soak the beans in that. No need for an animal to shit it nowadays. It's really silly anyway
Sorry, this is even more old hat than pulled pork to us LME-types
Civet cats
It's produced in Indonesia and also Vietnam (where I tried it, & where it's known as "weasel coffee") - doesn't taste any better than the other local beans to be honest, guess it's a bit of a gimmick. Also some serious animal cruelty issues involved:
There's a craft beer bar just opened in Bangkok that makes beer from it, and also sells pulled pork sandwiches, making it the absolute hipster epicentre of Asia. Their beer is damn good though.
Was in Indonesia a few weeks back
I tried it, wasn't very good. Then again, I don't actually drink coffee, so no idea if it's any good...
These days it's utterly unethical to drink it, because word's got out, demand has massively increased, and now these animals are being force fed coffee beans. It's like the foie gras of the caffeinated drinks world.

From the reduction of chemicals in clothing to the rights of the people who make it, Haglöfs are always working towards a sustainable future.


text: I have been working on a 1930 Model A coupe for about 4 years and I thought it would be fun to have a hot engine again. I had one about 30 years ago and It had 550 hp. and was a thrill to drive, it would not idle below 1400 rpm. and took lots of gas and had to be tuned up a lot. I thought the new 383 stroker engines with hydraulic roller cams would eliminate the need for constant tuning, and running 1 carb instead of 2 would make it more user friendly also. So I got a 383 and put it in my model A along with a 700r4, now I have driven it a little and I realize that I am 30 years older and my tastes have changed. I now am interested in cruising and not so much the performance. So my question to all of you is, what should I do? I figure I have 3 choices; No.1 De tune this 383 stroker with a stock numbers roller cam and possibly drop the compression from 10.1 to 1 down to 9 to 1. although the pistons are just a maybe. No.2 take out this engine and freshen up a 1970 Chevy 350 that I have sitting in my shop and try to sell the 383 stroker. No.3 Buy a GM goodwrench 350 and drop it in and try to sell the 383 stroker. I believe it would be hard to sell the 383 without losing most of my investment in it or I would do that. Even though it has only about a hundred miles on it I'm afraid I can not sell it for much, so what do you guys think I should do?

ING Groep woes worsen after Bank of Italy's anti-laundering checks
THE Bank of Italy asked ING Groep NV to avoid any business with new clients in the country after it fell short in recent anti-money laundering checks, adding to the Dutch lender's compliance woes.
The central bank identified shortcomings in the Amsterdam-based bank's processes during a four-month on-site inspection in Italy that ended in January, according to a statement late on Saturday. ING said separately that it's taking steps to improve processes and management of compliance risks, in line with an enhancement programme announced after it paid a large fine last year.
The Dutch bank is struggling to move on from its money laundering woes, six months after paying a 775 million-euro (S$1.2 billion) fine to settle an investigation by a Dutch prosecutor into issues including money laundering and corrupt practices. The fine was one of the biggest ever levied on one of the nation's lender, prompting the ouster of the CFO.
ING was also recently caught up in the Troika Dialog laundromat involving dirty Russian money. Hundreds of millions of euros passed through the bank's Moscow branch as part of a money laundering scheme constructed by Troika Dialog, Trouw newspaper reported earlier this month, citing an investigation by The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. The bank reiterated at the time the new measures that it's taking to boost controls.

After acknowledging "serious shortcomings" in executing due diligence policies to prevent financial crime at its Dutch unit from 2010 to 2016, chief executive officer Ralph Hamers emphasised on multiple occasions that the bank had learned its lesson. Koos Timmermans, who was the chief financial officer, resigned after public discontent and the bank is on a hiring spree for compliance staff.
ING has been in Italy since 2001 with its retail bank, where it employs about 900 workers in a country where it generated 231 million euros in revenue last year, according to its annual report. Italy is part of ING's so-called challenger markets, where ING plans to grow by being fully digital, without branches.
The Bank of Italy's request is another blow to Mr Hamers, whose goal is to build a single platform to serve all its retail banks in Europe. For its challenger markets, ING has built what it calls "Model Bank". After Czech Republic became the first country to go live on this platform, ING was planning to start integrating customers in Spain, France and Italy onto the system this year.
ING shares have risen 18 per cent this year, compared with the 10 per cent gain in the Bloomberg Europe 500 Banks And Financial Services Index. BLOOMBERG

The upstart Jacksonville Jaguars came agonizingly close to knocking off juggernaut New England Patriots in last season's AFC Championship Game.
They'll have revenge on their mind this Sunday when they welcome Tom Brady and Co. to TIAA Bank Field for a rematch.
Here are four things to know about the Jags ahead of this Week 2 matchup:
1. They still have arguably the NFL's best defense
Jacksonville led the NFL in defensive DVOA last season and ranked second in scoring defense, yards allowed, sacks, interceptions and total takeaways. They're ridiculously talented at all three levels, and 10 of last year's 11 starters are back, with the only change being rookie Leon Jacobs replacing the retired Paul Posluszny at linebacker
Last season's Pro Bowl rosters featured six Jaguars defenders: defensive ends Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue, defensive tackle Malik Jackson, linebacker Telvin Smith and cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. Campbell and Ramsey were first-team All-Pros.
Add to that mix pass rusher Dante Fowler, who sacked Tom Brady twice in the AFC Championship Game, and linebacker Myles Jack, who scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown on an interception return Sunday in Jacksonville's 20-15 Week 1 win over the New York Giants.
The Jags led the league with seven defensive touchdowns in 2017, scored another (a 50-yard fumble return by Smith) in their divisional-round upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers and could have had one more in the AFC title game had Jack not been ruled down after stripping Dion Lewis. This is a defense fully stocked with playmakers.
"I think everybody understands that they know this defense scores touchdowns," Smith said after Sunday's game, via ESPN.com. "We are almost an offense on defense."
Fowler was suspended for Week 1 but will be active Sunday.
2. Leonard Fournette is banged up
The Jaguars' star running back left Sunday's game during the second quarter with a hamstring injury. It's considered minor, according to head coach Doug Marrone, but Fournette's status for this weekend's contest remains unclear.
Fournette, who rushed for 1,040 yards as a rookie last season, is the focal point of Jacksonville's offense. If he can't go against the Patriots, expect T.J. Yeldon to get the start. Yeldon had 51 yards on 14 carries against the Giants.
3. The Jags' offense lacks weapons
Fournette is Jacksonville's only real stud on that side of the ball. Though quarterback Blake Bortles did show a lot of improvement over the course of last season, he's still a game manager at best who's more focused on lowering his interception total (a career-best 13 in 2017) than on throwing more touchdown passes.
With Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns signing elsewhere this spring and Marquise Lee suffering a season-ending knee injury during the preseason, Bortles' receiving corps consists of second-year pros Dede Westbrook and Keelan Cole and veteran Donte Moncrief, who somehow managed to command $9.6 million guaranteed for this season despite catching just 26 passes in 12 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2017.
At tight end, the Jaguars replaced the departed Marcedes Lewis with Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who's best known around these parts for his controversial goal-line fumble at MetLife Stadium last November.
Moncrief struggled Sunday in his Jaguars debut, catching just one pass on five targets for 14 yards, and Bortles averaged a mere 5.8 yards per pass attempt. Jacksonville managed one offensive touchdown and two field goals against the Giants and went 3-for-12 on third down.
4. Jalen Ramsey's trash-talking world tour included multiple Patriots-related shots
Rob Gronkowski said he expects to hear a lot of questions this week about Ramsey, who told ESPN's Mina Kimes the Patriots' star tight end is "not as great as people think he is."
Honestly, that's pretty tame smack talk compared to the bombs Ramsey hurled at Josh Allen ("trash"), Joe Flacco ("sucks"), Danny Amendola ("terrible") and the entire NHL, but it surely will motivate Gronkowski, who was knocked out of the AFC title game just before halftime with a concussion.
Ramsey, like many Jaguars fans, also believes the officials screwed his team out of a Super Bowl appearance, referencing Jack's fumble recovery in his ESPN interview.

Mary Berry's Lemon Poppy Seed Traybake
I'm sharing a Mary Berry recipe with you for an important reason. There are exactly TWO MONTHS left to reserve your spot for the London Baking Adventure, inspired by the Great British Baking Show. Y'all. It's going to be BRILLIANT. 🙂 Read all of the customized for Bake at 350, baking-themed itinerary details here.
Merry Berry Fast Cakes is filled with, you guessed it, quick-to-make cakes. There are also a few other recipes included, like quick biscuits (cookies), scones, and quick breads. There are lots of recipes for "traybakes" which always intrigued me when watching the GBBO. A traybake is a cake baked in a rectangular pan, what I might have referred to as a "snacking cake."
This lemon poppy seed traybake might not look super special, but oh my goodness…it's incredible. The cake is fluffy with a large, soft crumb. The glaze adds flavor – a big hit of lemon – and moisture.

Detect Anonymous Offenders/Terrorists, by revolutionary Predictive Screening AI technology
We live in a dangerous world, where terrorists and criminals are easily mingled with the general population and can easily travel between countries; the vast majority of them are unknown to the intelligence community and the authorities. As a result, it is becoming ever more challenging to detect suspected individuals in public places such as airports, train stations, government and public buildings, border controls and mega events.
Today the main use of Biometrics is for Identification and Authentication. Using stat-of-the-art AI technologies, Faception developed a revolutionary Facial Analytics Technology to have Automatic Risk Assessment and Risk Transitions correlated to facial characteristics.
Current solutions mostly rely on facial recognition, detecting suspicious activity/ behavior and manual profiling. They are not sufficient to handle the scale of the growing threats. Facial Personality Analytics analyzes a person's facial image and automatically reveals his personality, enabling security companies/agencies to more efficiently detect, focus and apprehend potential terrorists or criminals before they have the opportunity to do harm.
Therefore, All the FR solutions are subjected to Database existence, so NO solution to anonymous offenders.
Facial Personality Analytics Technology (Faception)
Faception is first-to-technology and first-to-market with proprietary computer vision and machine learning [AI] algorithms that reveal a person's personality based on his facial image and is complimentary to ANY Facial Recognition solution. A US Patent was granted for this technology on March 18.
Faception can analyze faces from video streams (recorded and live), databases, or online sources, encode the faces in proprietary image descriptors and match an individual with various personality types with a high level of accuracy. It can run in the cloud, on a local machine, video camera or on-chip, is flexible, scalable and real time.
Faception Predictive Screening For Smart Security Solutions
Facial Personality Analytics (Faception) offers a wide range of personality classifiers to choose from, and in addition, you can define new classifiers (such as aggressive, potential robber etc.) to be added. About Faception Privacy and Fairness advantage: It's anonymous – no need for ID/social profile etc. It's objective like blood testing, no discrimination by race, class, gender, age etc. And, no need for Big Data on people. Faception develops and owns the Classifiers, NOT the client's databases. Hence, regulations and client' confidential information are being secured.
Integrated Solution
System Architecture
Response time: Up to 2 Sec [Means: response time to get score by the system]. Search is online.
Scalability: Current generation is up to concurrent 500 ports, but using load balancing the scalability can be unlimited.
Distributed: Our open architecture allows for either Central System or Distributed system. Also, it allows to develop additional classifiers and permit usage per instance/user/agency.
Required Image Quality: Frontal face width not less than 180 pixels. In a regular "passport-like" image proportions, the image width should be 300 pixels or more. Image may be color/gray-level, with close to frontal pose and neutral expression. Compression as expressed in file size, should not get below 0.5 bpp (bits per pixel) for grey level images, or 1bpp for color images. Smallest dimension is 300 pixels.

BERLIN | NEW YORK (IDN) – "African countries, especially those in West Africa, are simply not doing enough" to "ensure that no one is left behind", declares a new report, unveiling shocking figures that underline extreme inequality and poverty rampant in the region. West Africa is the African region "least committed to the fight against inequality", says the report titled 'The West Africa Inequality Crisis'.
And this in a year that marks the fourth year of the implementation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation – as envisaged in Goal 1, Goal 10 and Goal13.

Venice or Venezia is a city in northern Italy and capital of the Veneto region. The city spreads over numerous small islands (118 in number) in the Venetian Lagoon of the Adriatic Sea. Venice is world-famous for its beautiful canals, impressive architecture, enchanting historical atmosphere and romantic vibes.
Venice is also known as "Serenissima", because it served as the capital of the Republic of Venice (Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia), a major maritime and commercial empire during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Nowadays, Venice is also referred to as "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City" and "City of Canals".
The city's attractions are numerous, but in the case of Venice one can say that the whole city is a sight on its own right and it is no coincidence that Venice and its Lagoon have been deemed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
Venice is also renowned for its annual Carnival, the prestigious art exhibition of Biennale and the Venice International Film Festival. It is a city for all seasons and one of the top traveling destinations in the world.
Last but not least, the Port of Venice is one of the most important in the Mediterranean Sea due to its location on the strategic nodes of trans-European networks and serves destinations such as Austria, Switzerland, Germany and other European countries.

The Coin, also known as the Yellow Coin, is a collectible and item in every Mario game. More than 100 coins can be found in a level. Coins are important items in every Mario game. When you collect 100 coins, that's an instant 1up. Well, not in Super Mario Sunshine, which gave you a Shine Sprite instead. Coins can be found everywhere possible, down in Warp Pipes, in the air, in the sky, from defeated enemies, availabe with the use of a P-Switch and more. When you touch a P-Switch, you can collect the once, invisible coins. They're many types of coins- Star Coins, Silver Coins, Red Coins, Blue Coins, Dash Coins and regular coins. In Super Mario Sunshine, Blue Coins could be used to trade in for a Shine Sprite. They are found in difficult places. Silver Coins usually appear when you touched a P-Switch. They are silver coins, as the name suggests. Red Coins are red coins that give you a prize if you collect all. In Super Mario Sunshine, Red Coins give you a Shine Sprite. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Red Coins give you a Mushroom if you are Mini Mario or small Mario. If you are Super Mario they give you a Fire Flower. If you have a Power Suit on such as Penguin Suit, Propeller Suit, Fire Mario or Ice Mario they give you a 1up Mushroom. Star Coins probably replace Blue Coins. In New Super Mario Bros Wii, Star Coins take skill, moves and even Power Ups to collect. In Super Mario Sunshine, you had to do the same to collect Blue Coins. By touching the Flagpole, you can save a collected Star Coin. Dash Coins are coins that appear as transparent circles in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. When Mario goes through them, however, they turn into regular Coins.

Debt consolidation loans -Get started debt consolidation now
Get started debt consolidation now
In a difficult economy, many people look for help managing rising debt. Loans that enable you to consolidate your debt are available everywhere, and solidly trusted financial institutions have provided such personal finance for many years. An abundance of other businesses also offers debt consolidation loans. Among them are those who market aggressively, which essentially amounts to a scam. Their tactics distinguish them from legitimate debt management mechanisms.
Steps to avoid debt consolidation scams:
- Make sure the company is legal. Call your state's Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the company.
- Keep your financial information private. To provide a quote, a debt consolidation program should only know your creditors' names and interest rates. They do not need to know your account numbers, social security number or other personal information.
- Compare fees – not the monthly payments. You need to receive the same rates from each debt consolidation program because they all get the same creditors trade. As a company that offers you a lower monthly payment, this can be because it is the period of the loan extension. This can cause you to pay more in the long run.
- Beware of extra fees. Don't pay for a quote or analysis. Many debt consolidation services charge high up-front fees or hidden costs that will pop up months after you begin. Some fees were built in the monthly payment. They make a payment from you and send it to the creditors. Some agencies charge you as much as 10 percent more than they send the creditors. When they also returned a 10 percent to 15 percent discount from the creditors.
- Take a moment. Employees at many consumer credit counseling services taught a script to play on your emotions and fears. When you talk to a counselor, take a friend who promises to preserve you for making an immediate decision to sign up. Tell your partner to let you go and come back after you talk about it and look at all the details.
Don't fall into a trap when consolidating your debt. Always choose the best and only trust legit lenders for debt consolidation such as (DeDebt).

Certainly, you could have a second choice of finding a process and kill
it, however it's better to unlock Git and do your homework!
So it's easy to resolve this problem by typing
rm -f .git/index.lock.
Then you can resume your work in a current repository.
