en | N/A | N/A | I spent most of last Saturday at Australia’s top custom shop, Deus Ex Machina, as one of the judges of the inaugural “Boundless Enthusiasm Bike Build-Off.” There were over thirty bikes in the yard, with chrome and paintwork glinting under the unseasonably hot sun. Before the judging officially started, I wandered around incognito and checked out the bikes. Four machines immediately jumped out at me, and of those four, just one appeared to meet the primary judging criteria: “Making the most with the least”. That bike was Much Much Go, built by industrial designer Nick Eterovic. And by the end of the day, Nick had won not only the First Prize, but also the People’s Choice award.
In being true to the Deus brief of “making the most with the least”, the only money Nick spent went on carburetors (stock), a chain, throttle, clutch lever, suspension, battery, exhaust tubing and paint. That came to AU$735 in total. “The rest was time, hard work and plenty of late nights. Luckily I had lots of good advice and a helping hand when I needed it.” Nick took home a full toolset from sponsors Snap-On, and a pair of Vitesse Moto boots are on their way to him as well. Good work, fella. |

It looked nasty,, and that reality came true today for Michigan left tackle Grant Newsome, he will be out for the rest of the season.
Both Jim Harbaugh and Wilton Speight talked about Newsome today.
When the injury occurred a cart came onto the field, Newsome declined to hop on it and ride to the locker room. Instead, he took the long walk (with the help of two others) through the tunnel. That’s toughness at the highest degree. He knew at the time the severity of the injury, but he went out like a gladiator leaving the arena, not a wounded pup. |

Anybody familiar with Widespread Panic (or Phish or the Dead, for that matter) knows about the parking lot scene. It is usually full of aging hippies and youngish too-contents. This time was no different. I felt a little old, but not so out-of-place as to feel uncomfortable. Two quotes that stick out in my head...
"There are 11,500 people here and they have six porta-potties. Somebody wasn't thinking."--Some guy standing behind be in line.
"I just woke up. I've been passed out in that van over there...no, maybe it was that van."--Some guy at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.
For those unfamiliar with the scene (I'm none-too-experienced myself, but I've seen it enough to know it)...imagine a lot of people who haven't showered in a while. About 10% of them are selling grilled cheese sandwiches or burritos which in many cases are described as "fatty." About 20% of the people are selling some kind of drink out of the back of their cars. Often beer or water. I saw a few juice boxes this time. About 10% of the people are looking for tickets to the show, 10% are selling counterfeit t-shirts or bootleg tapes, about 10% have dogs. And every twenty minutes or so someone will come by quietly and offer you drugs. It's quite possible to be quite sane and consort with this crowd. But only if you are emotionally prepared for what you'll see.
Somebody at Charlotte's Cricket Arena (formerly the Independence Arena) must have been eating a really good steak or watching a really good game when they set up the schedule for this weekend.
We got to the parking lot about 4:30 on Saturday. We sat at the back of the vehicle, sipped some beers, and watched the show go on around us. By 5:30, the lot was full and in full effect. Music was playing, the police weren't interested in the drug dealers yet, the smell of grilled cheese was everywhere. The masses were gearing up.
Then we saw the woman with Christmas Tree pin on her shirt and a big Santa Claus shopping bag. She looked lost and scared. She couldn't find her car. She didn't look like she belonged in this particular lot. Another woman who had found her car wasn't fairing much better. She couldn't fit the mid-sized fake Christmas tree in the trunk. She was trying to do it as if she were the young sex pot in a horror flick and all the hippies were the killers. Mothers and grandmothers were wandering aimlessly through the parking lot, clutching their children and shielding their eyes from the sin.
The woman could've been smart instead of scared. If they'd just opened their cars and started hawking their wares (Fatty Christmas Trees, Kind Wicker Baskets!) they would've made a killing. |

“It’s a positive loop,” Yang says.
His latest startup, VeloBit, Inc., has attracted more than $5 million in venture capital, employs 15 and counts more than 500 customers around the globe. In July 2013, it was acquired by HGST, a Western Digital company.
VeloBit’s software squeezes more speed from solid-state “flash” disk drives that are becoming standard in servers. The software – installed in under a minute – identifies frequently accessed files and places them in cache closer to the central processor. The software saves companies money by minimizing the need to buy pricey new hardware.

</s> Q: Read from file number of characters from a given position - C I have a file called "cache.txt", where I have some data. I have a unordered_map, cache, with a pair of ints as value, where : the first element from the pair represents the number of characters I want to read, and the second the position from where I want to read. The key from the unordered_map, comps, is not relevant.
int number_of_chars = cache[comps].first;
--number_of_chars;
A: If you are using text streams (and apparently you are, because you open the file in mode "r", not "rb"), then the only position values you can pass to fseek are 0 or some value returned by ftell. In other words, you cannot count characters read yourself and use that count in a call to fseek.
If you use binary streams, then you can count the bytes read yourself, but OS uses to represent newlines will not be translated to a newline character. Because there is no way to know how a given OS handles newlines, it's impossible to portably read a text stream in binary mode.
In short, you should take the requirement in the C standard library seriously. Make sure that the offset you are storing in your map came directly from a call to ftell. ("Directly" means that you cannot even use ftell(file) + 1; only ftell(file).)
Unix/Linux programmers can get away with not dealing with the above, since Posix mandates tes, and only requires that fseek use a value returned by ftell for wide streams. But if you are using Windows, you will find that trying to use fseek to return to a byte position you computed yourself does not work. And if you are not using Windows, you should ask yourself whether your program might someday be ported to Windows.

In other words IntelliJ is smart enough to see the association between the interface and the inheritance structure.
Why does it do this? Well if you remove the definition of fun1 from Child class, then fun1 is of course visible in Child class via inheritance from Parent, thereby fulfilling the requirement to implement Interface.

Prostacyclin Analogs for the Treatment of PAH
Jeffrey S. Sager, MD, MSc · University of Southern California
Several prostacyclin and prostaglandin IP receptor aulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). These analogs work by
Epoprostenol is a very potent and powerfupotential mortality benefit. Drawbacks include infusion requirements, short half-life, and risk of serious complications
Treprostinil is available in multiple forms. It can be administered intravenously at lower infusion rates with smaller pumps because of its stability and longer half-life, and it can be administered subcutaneously, via inhalation, or as an oral formulation
Iloprost is available as an inhaled formulation. It has a short half-life, requiring 6 to 9 inhalations throughout the day
Selexipag, in one clinical trial, showed improvement in time to clinical worsening and functional capacity as add-on therapy to background therapy includinginhibitors
The current available agents approved by the FDA encompass three classes of therapy: Prostanoids, or prostacyclin therapy; endothelin receptor antagonists; and those that affect the nitric oxide pathway. Prostacyclin is a naturally occurring prostaglandin that's synthesized from arachidonic acid. It is a potent vasodilator with antiplatelet and antiproliferative effects, and increases intracellular cyclic AMP.
Prostacyclin or prostanoids have historically been added as sequential therapy in combination with oral medication in patients with poor response or severe PAH. This approach has largely been based on the complexity of administration of prostanoids. However, the availability of oral prostanoid preparations introduces the possibility that these agents may be added earlier in the treatment course, as evidence mounts that combination therapy significantly reduces PAH mortality.
A pivotal point in the development of treatments for the disease was the approval of the first PAH-specific therapy, intravenous epoprostenol. Although intravenous epoprostenol was first used for the treatment of PAH in 1984, it was not available commercially until 1995. In 1984, Higenbottam[1] and colleagues used intravenous epoprostenol in a young woman [with] severe WHO functional class IV idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension who had been bedridden for more than a year.
Also in 2004, inhaled iloprost became the first prostacyclin analog approved for inhalation. A second agent delivered by this route, the inhaled form of treprostinil, was approved in 2009. The oral form of treprostinil was approved in 2013. In December of 2015, the FDA approved a novel agent, a selective oral IP prostacyclin receptor agonist called selexipag.
Treprostinil is a parenterally administered prostacyclin analog that has been chemically modified. Treprostinil is stable at room temperature. It has an extend hours. Epoprostenol is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring prostaglandin derivative and is chemically identical to endogenous prostacyclin. Traditionally, epoprostenol, as first-line therapy, has beennamely those who have functional class IV symptoms.
To ensure stability, ice packs are needed after constitution for any infusion longer than 80 hours. Home infusion of epoprostenol is administered with a CADD infusion pump. However, due to the pump limitations, it is recommended that the drug solution be prepared and administered for 24 hours—hence, requiring ice packs.
In April of 2010, a formulation of epoprostenol with improved thermal stability becameVeletri (Janssen). This product is stable, without needing cooling packs, for 48 or 72 hours, depending on the concentration. Unlike Flolan, the buffer and osmotic agents that confer room temperature stability characteristics of Veletri are contained within the drug vial. Veletri can therefore be prepared with readily available sterile water for injection, or normal saline, which provides a cost advantage.
Treprostinil, under the trade name Remodulin (United Therapeutics),Subcutaneous formulations can be administered for up to 72 hours at temperatures up to 37 degrees.
Two inhaled formulations of prostacyclin are available in the United States. With inhaled iloprost, available since 2005, treatment requires 6 to 9 administrations, no more than every 2 hours during the day, through an I-neb adaptive aerosol delivery system. The other inhaled prostacyclin, inhaled treprostinil, available since 2009 under the trade name Tyvaso (United Therapeutics), requires four separate sessions spaced equally throughout the day, with inhalation through a TD-100 ultrasonic pulmonary delivery device. Each of these sessions requires 9 inhalations, with dosage titration based on tolerability
Some adverse events, such as flushing, hypertension, chest pain, and tachycardia, may occur more frequently during initiation of treatment or after dose adjustments. Health care providers must manage these adverse events to reduce the risk of treatment discontinuation. Due to the complications associated with the mode of administration, initiation of intravenous prostacyclin therapy may incur the additional cost of hospitalization for the placement of a central line, an infusion initiation system, and close monitoring during initiation of and dose titration.
To minimize the risk of infection,aregivers on the proper aseptic technique during preparation. Patients and caregivers must also be prepared for failures of the central line or the infusion pump or inadequate medication supplies, because even transient interruption of continuously infused prostacyclin therapy may lead to complications requiring urgent hospitalization.
Althoughmay be preferable in some clinical situations because central venous access is therefore not required, infusion site pain can be an important treatment-limiting side effect. Up to 85% of patients receiving subcutaneous infusion of treprostinil may experience serious infusion site pain, leading to treatment discontinuation in up to 23% of these patients.
Only 43% of patients were receiving parenteral prostacyclin at the time of the PAH-related death,[4] and 8% of patients did not receive any PH-specific therapy.[5] Many postulate that some explanations for the underutilization include patients' or clinicians' unwillingness or inability to apply complex therapy or lack of belief in it as more efficacious than other drugs, as well as lack of acceptance, lack of referral to experienced PH centers, and some physician bias.
Oral treprostinil: Traditional modes of administration, with potential challenges and complications, may have contributed to an important unmet need—prostacyclin in an oral formulation. The first oral prostacyclin sustained-release formulation of oral treprostinil was approved in 2013. It is limited, however, by poor bioavailability and efficacy data, based on a modest improvement in exercise capacity.
Selexipag is an oral bioavailable selective IP prostacyclin receptor agonist. It was recently approved by the FDA. The structure of selexipag lacks the characteristic cyclopentane ring of prostacyclin and its analogs. Unlike existing prostacyclin therapies, selexipag and its active metabolite are a selective agonist of the prostacyclin receptor, also called the IP receptor, with very low binding affinity for other prostacyclin receptors.
In addition to these pharmacologic differences from existing prostacyclins, it is important to note that selexipag demonstrated no tendency for tachyphylaxis than traditional infused prostanoids in animal models. Selexipag was studied in the largest long-term, event-driven, phase 3, randomized controlled trial conducted to date in pulmonary arterial hypertension, the GRIPHON study.
The results, first reported at the American College of Cardiology [Scientific Sessions] in 2015, showed a long-term benefit of selexipag therapy on the combined end point of morbidity and mortality. Eighty percent of all enrolled patients were on a baseline PH-specific therapy, either ERA [or] PDE-5 inhibitor or ERA and PDE-5 inhibitor. Patients received treatment with oral selexipag titrated for over 12 weeks. Over the course of the event-driven trial, 7.1% of patients taking placebo and 14% of patients taking selexipag discontinued treatment due to adverse events.[6]
Morbidity and mortality comprising the primary end point included all-cause death, PH necessitating lung transplant, balloon atrial septostomy, or initiation of chronic oxygen therapy or parenteral prostacyclin therapy. After a mean follow-up of 76 weeks and 71 weeks in the placebo with selexipag, there was a 40% reduction in the risk of experiencing an adverse event on the composite primary end point vs the p, resulting in the drug, ultimately, being approved for use.[7]
Prostacyclin isn and also appears to have both cytoprotective and antiproliferative activities
Epoprostenol imPAH and is the only treatment shown to reduce mortality in idiopathic PAH (IPAH)
Inhaled iloprost (RCT) in which daily repetitive iloprost inhalations (6-9 times) were compared with placebo inhalation The study showedin symptoms, pulmonary vascular resistance, and clinical events in enrolled patients
The effects of treprostinil in PAH were assessed in an RCT and showed improvements in exercise capacity, hemodynamics, and symptoms. An RCT with inhaled treprostinil in PAH patients on background therapy with either bosentan or sildenafil showed improvements in the 6-minute walk test and quality-of-life measures
One RCT has shown that selexipag alone or in addition to monotherapy or double therapy with ERAs and/or phosphodiesterase-type 5 inhibitor was able to reduce a composite morbidity and mortality end point by 40%

en | N/A | N/A | The IAM Annual Report Card is also a handy resource for self-examination by information security leaders and their organizations.
Digital Transformation: B+
- Digital transformation requires a range of tools, new processes and infrastructure investments, and the ability to manage customer, employee and partner identity data drives the effectiveness of everything involved.
- Organizations need a way to collect, secure, and use identity data to enable access to digital resources and to fuel engagement across multiple digital channels, apps and devices.
- IAM solutions purpose-built for the demands of digital business can help companies remain competitively nimble in the digital world.
Real Time Adaptability: B
Good but not good enough. Organizations are not effectively enabling and managing real time capabilities of IAM platforms to help with effective controls around ever-changing identity management requirements.
- Corporations and businesses will be forced to make their Identity and Access Management (IAM) Systems scalable in real time, given the extremely rapid advances made within their IT systems. The management team has to keep up with all of this.
- If businesses fail to react in real time, it could become ripe for a major security breach to occur. Add to this complexity the drastic changes which are being brought on by the trend of BYOD. In other words, quick adaptability will be key in order to maintain pace with innovation.
“Real-time adaptability with the enablement of identity analytics is crucial to increasing an organization’s security posture and supporting risk reduction” says Atif Ghauri, VP at Herjavec Group.
- Understanding the relationships between identity, devices, and connected things can enable a more effective, context based risk management strategy at every stage of the identity lifecycle. Managing these relationships throughout the identity lifecycle will allow organizations to offer the better fraud protection for users and privileged accounts
“Identity relationship management is imperative in order to understand contextual data as people, devices and “things” are assigned identities,” says Melissa Zicopula, VP at Herjavec Group.
“This rich contextual data allows organizations to make appropriate and effective decisions to support overall risk reduction,” adds Zicopula.
- Effective user authentication mechanism(s) can enable organizations to drive a secure method of access critical information. Leveraging a multi-step authentication (multi-factor authentication) process will provide advanced authentication services not only leveraging basic credentials but additional contextual information to validate user authentication.
“Cloud adoption is accelerating and using single source credentials is being embraced by the user community” notes Herjavec Group’s Ghauri. “Compromised authentications have led to the majority of data breaches, and multi-factor authentication is a must.”
Identity Analytics & Artificial Intelligence: C
Still new and there’s a lack of understanding. Identity Analytics & AI is an emerging area with segregated market segments, multiple vendors and varying approaches in resolving anomalies. These programs are run typically run as silos with limited integration to IAM processes and platforms. Organizations really need a trusted advisor to help them understand how to maximize AI.
- Often with data breaches it’s not the management of the identity that causes the breach, but the transfer of credentials to some unknown party. While least privilege access control does afford some protection here; however, there are still shortfalls. Identity management and access control have always been two sides of a coin, but in the future of Identity Analytics with AI as a backbone will be the glue to bind them together to much greater effect.
- Identity Analytics with AI offers the potential for intelligent, real-time security to implement fine-grained access control for a user or a privileged account
- Adding behavioral factors, real-time analytics and real-time risk analysis will

Some places are so crappy that they aren't worth visiting worst places you can possibly visit!
3. Roswell, NM. It was a bucket list destination for me, but the town was such a disappointment. The Alien museum felt lackluster and the whole area gave me sad burnt-out vibes. Bottomless Lakes State Park just outside of town was beautiful, though.
4. East St. Louis, Illinois. I worked on a project there for over a year and most of the town is a post-apocalyptic landscape. Abandoned factories and houses, packs of wild dogs, and extreme poverty. We found a bloody clever in our porta potty one day. Witnessed numerous violent interactions with prostitutes, pimps, and John’s. The soils around our worksite were contaminated with lead, gas, benzene, and just about any noxious chemical, you can think of.
The worst was the smells. On top of the usual garbage/burning garbage smell it alternated between a confection bakery and a dog food factory. So depending on the direction of the wind it was either a sickly sweet smell or a smell we affectionately called “horse bacon”.
Despite the impression TV gives you that they are in the middle of a beautiful unspoilt desert, they are actually in the worst part of Cairo. Dirty, full of litter and polluted to buggery.
6. Definitely the fast-food capital of Australia ....Dub Vegas or more commonly known as Dubbo. I know the locals will take umbrage at this but essentially it is a low joint with not a lot going for it apart from a great Zoo called the Western Plains Zoo. The crime is high and brain cells are low. It is a dusty, hot shit hole full of young red necks in hotted up utes with big driving lights and a lot of chubby girls in pink shirts and denim jeans. It has more McDonald outlets per capita than any other place in Australia. The best part of Dubbo is the Newell Highway going out of it.
7. Tashkent - Uzbekistan about 30 years ago. Was on a stopover flight from London to Delhi. There was literally piss and sh*t all over the floor in the toilets of international airport, and the whole area Was horrble, filthy, stank. Flew via Tashkent (unwillingly) 20 years later and was pleased to find everything was modern, clean and nice.
8. Gary, Indiana. Apologies to those who live there, but it’s kinda like the armpit of America. It reeks of a town that was once a cool place to be but has just been left to the wayside.
Went in late March, but was still very cold. Half the homes there are warmed by coal fires inside their gers (yurts). Every morning you could literally taste the pollution. Traffic was terrible, took an hour to go a mile during rush hour. Every car is at least 10 to 15 years old, and is imported from Japan, but they drive on the right side so the steering wheels are wrongly placed.
10. Fresno California was pretty shitty when I was there in the early 2000s. I'd swear half the businesses in what I think was the downtown area were bail bonds places. Coffee shop, bail bonds, yarn store, bail bonds, record shop, bail bonds.
11. Qatar. S*itty slave state with no culture of their own.
13. The Tenderloin in San Francisco. I've visited and grown up in some extremely sh*tty places but that area was the only place where alked as fast as I could to get out.

With Hamilton it is especially important not to arbitrate. With his prior drug history and tendency to injure himself, that could have led to a lot of hurt feelings. On top of that, he is an MVP and hit .359 last year, so you’ll probably lose anyway.

Electronic Newsletter. </s> The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 18.0663 Thursday, 4 OctoOct 2007 15:29:14 -0400 Subject: Cardenio and Double Falsehood For those seriously interested in this question, I recommend G. H.257-83 (U.Mo.Press 1989), which summarizes all the relevant scholarship to that point. In my view, if anyone cares, the most persuasive case is that (a) Theobald actually had one or more manuscripts of a Jacobean play, which he revised; (b) the original play dramatized the Cardenio tale in Don Quixote, and therefore was likely to be the play registered by Moseley as by Fletcher and Shakespeare, and which was contemporaneously referred to as having been performed by the King's Men; (c) Fletcher had a large part of the authorship of the play; (d) another poet also had a hand in the play. The internal evidence that Shakespeare was the other poet is insufficient at least in the absence of rigorous stylistic analysis using modern technological tools, which would be complicated by Theobald's revisions. As it is, the Fletcherian portions are easily discerned but the other poet's share cannot be ascribed to Shakespeare (it shows no substantial sign of WS's late style). On the other hand, Shakespeare cannot be ruled out as one of the authors of the original play since Theobald revised the play, and would probably have heavily altered the kind of convoluted language WS used in his late works, exemplified by HenVIII and TNK, to make it palatable to an 18th Century audience. Ward Elliott and Robert J. Valenza's stylometric tests reject the play as Shakespearean (SHAKSPER Digest SHK 15.0915 [22 April 2004]). The sole external evidence for the conclusion that the other poet was Shakespeare is Moseley's attribution, which is questionable in view of his notorious unreliability in such matters. Therefore, at present, the verdict as to Shakespeare's partial authorship of Cardenio is "not proven." As for Chas. Hamilton's contention that The Second Madien's Tragedy is the lost Cardenio, that is ludicrous for the reasons I previously noted. </s> Clover Valley Home 4 Tier Wall UnitReviewing: Clover Valley 4 Tier Wall Unit | Rating:
I purchased one of theses units and ended up going back to buy a second one. I got rid of a Bakers Rack in my kitchen and set this up instead. It gives me more storage space, doesn't take up a lot of room and is easy to assemble. There are no tools required, just stacking the shelves and screwing the poles together one level at a time. It's a great product for the price and I'm thinking about buying a few more for storage space in my small house. It only took about ten to fifteen minutes to put together. Very simple to understand instructions. This would be a great product for the college student. The shelving unit comes with a wall mounting kit to easily mount to a wall to create even more space.They look like you could probably stack them if you bought two sets. The wall mount would be advisable if stacking two units together though. </s> ? </s> Bulldog Original Moisturiser (100ml)

Word on the street is that we have lapsed forward about nine months, just in time for the birth of Crosby & Jasmine’s second baby and that the premier episode almost feels like the “start of a new chapter” for the family.
There was a lot more going on last season, which we can quickly cover here, but Jen…
1) On a scale of Jabbar to Crosby, how excited were you when Parenthood got picked up for a full season?
3) Do we have our first death in the family this year? (Camille says hi!)
Jen: Is there much of a difference between Jabbar and Crosby on that scale? I was at a “Crosby Opening the Luncheonette” level. Parenthood has always been reviewed well by the critics, andit doesn’t seem to have the audience numbers to back it up. You summed it up pretty well there, Justin. It’s a great show all around and every season Bravermans.
I heard that Hank will be back, but I don’t think it’s going to work out with him and Sarah. I think it’s time we see Sarah move out of her parents’ house and get on with her life. Drew is in college and Amber lives on her own. It’s time for her to do the same! I’d like to see her finally have a real relationship on this show for once. She’s like a wandering 20 – something year old in a 40 – something year old’s body.
What are some of you favorite Parenthood memories? How do you think they do with covering the “big” stuff (breast cancer, teenage pregnancy and Asperger’s syndrome?)
Justin: I wonder if Hank will pull a Brenda Walsh and move back to Cali from Minnesota? Time will tell. I agree she could use a season focused on her career and getting a place of her own for sure. Every year she gets sucked into some sort of drama with a man. She definitely seems lost.
I am kind of surprised they never brought Minka Kelly back to cause some issues with Crosby and Jasmine. I like the full family get together scenes, those are some of my favorite memories overall of the show. The little league episode was great too. Tons of good stuff, but it is hard to pick out moments because the best ones are spread throughout overarching stories. You?
They do an awesome job covering the real stuff because they give it room to breathe and nail all aspects of battling these issues in the setting of a large family, with so many opinions and reactions woven throughout.
I am guessing we get quite a dose of Amber & Ryan to open the season…there was obviously a lot of material to mine there. Do you think Christina’s cancer will return?
Jen: I don’t think it would be good for the storyline if Hank came back, Sarah’s been there and I don’t |

The Royal Albert Hall will fill wa night of legendary performances, people and presentations of awards. Catherine Tate will be taking on the mighty job of hosting the evening alone.
The evening will be bursting at the seems with Hamilton, Everybody's Talking About Jamie and Follies showing us what they have to offer. It is bound to make me want to empty my bank account and spent my days theatre hopping in the West End.
This year, Hamilton has been the talk of the theatre and received a record breaking amount of Olivier nominations. The musical has taken the theatre industry by storm this year, winning Tonys, Grammys and even a Pulitzer. Now it can add a record breaking 13 Olivier nominations to it's ever growing list of achievements. It's managed to beat Hairspray and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for the record, both with 11 nominations.
Other high flyers this year are Follies with 10 nominations and The Ferryman with 8. Amongst all the nominations there are some massive names that will be floating around the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night. Imelda Staunton, Andrew Garfield, Lesley Joseph and Bryan Cranston to name a few.
I'll leave all the nominations below so you can pick your favourite. You can watch the awards on ITV on Sunday 8 April from 10:20pm but I will be doing live updates throughout the night on social media.

en | N/A | N/A | The Holy Koran opens a special look at moral issues to its audience and provides the basis for many moral views. One of these views is related to the function (outcome, effect and result of something) of ethics. By referring to the verses of the Koran, such as the seventh verse of chapter Abraham, moral behavior causes excess and deficiency in man (self), not excess and deficiency in blessings. This Koranic view envisages morality as a shaping and identity-giving component of the structure of human existence. Proving this attitude is the main purpose of this article. Thus, in this article, via the library collection of the intended documents and referring to the relevant verses as the first step, this issue has been proven by descriptive-analytical method (using data from Islamic philosophy).

Today, I got a piece of direct mail from Perry Marshall (whom you may recognize from my acknowledgments in the book’s preface) regarding Bill Bailey, inmate #60733-066, who is speaking at Perry’s upcoming seminar.
Who is Bill Bailey? He spent time in federal prison for computerized snooping that’s way less offensive than what Clydene is engaged in. Now, Clyde is a computer geek. She read about the BBS raids of the 1990’s. She read all about Randall Schwartz, and knew enough about the technology to take sides. She knows way more about the computer crime laws than (I’m sure) the politicians who voted for them. If you ever doubted that she would be terrified of being caught, just read Bill Bailey’s story.
This is in fact exactly what will happen with Anthony’s case, in the upcoming episode. He’s completely innocent, as you probably have figured out by now. But evidence in rape cases is always iffy at best. That’s why sexual assault laws are excessively tilted in favor of the accuser.. or “victim” if you prefer. Except that in this case, as in many real-life cases, Anthony is the real victim, not having done anything wrong but being used as a scapegoat. And none of the exonerating facts he knows about can even be admitted in court in his defense, because that’s what the law says. He’s going down, unless the Conscience can find a way to help him. |

Police investigate incidents at Churubusco Jr.-Sr. High
Indiana State Police confirmed Thursday they are investigating criminal allegations of Churubusco Junior-Senior High School students being urinated on and sodomized.
The incident allegedly involved juvenile boys and took place "in the junior high school football locker room on or about Oct. 12," Sgt. Brian Walker said in a statement. The state police were notified of the incident by a school resource officer Oct. 13.
Nsuspects since they are juveniles.
"All parents of those involved are aware of the incident and the current investigation," Walker said. "Once complete, the full investigation will be turned over to the Whitley to be filed, if charges are warranted."
The issue was talked about publicly for the first time at the Smith Green Community Schools board meeting Monday. Numerous parents crowded into the meeting room to voice their concerns.
A man pointed out that the school would be locked down if it was reported that a student had a weapon.
"But when we have issues in a locker room, we still proceed to have a football game. We still proceed to let these children go to a locker room without an adult or supervision to help protect anyone who may be picked on or bullied," he said.
The man then referenced a 12-year-old student who was found dead in the same locker room about a year ago. Officials said then the boy's death was not suspicious.
A woman mentioned that the alleged incidents are recorded on video.
Superintendent Daniel Hile posted a video message on YouTube to the school district about bullying on Thursday.
"T’tlable."
He encouraged anyone who has questions about the alleged incident to call the Churubusco Police Department or state police.
"Any student who is struggling at any time is encouraged to talk to a trusted teacher, coach, administrator or even a friend so we can get that student connected to the resources and support they need," he said.

en | N/A | N/A | ystaystal Cabinet Knobs picture. </s> Animation: “A Gong (Grandpa)’s thesis film from Gobelins, l’École de l’image, “A Gong” follven’t already! </s> </s> You've booked your flight, but now you need to know how to get from Athens airport to city center. Here's all the information about Athens airport transportation, and how to get to the city center from Athens airport you'll ever need.
I've lived in Athens for over 2 years now, and during that time, I must have used Athens International Airport over a hundred times. It dawned on me that whilst I take getting from Athens airport to city center for granted, it might be useful to write a little guide from Athens airport, and how much it costs.
Each of the 3 basic options of getting from Athens airport to city center has its benefits depending on your situation. Let's take a look at them here.
Using the Athens airport taxi service is probably the best option for groups of three or more people, and especially families. The Athens Airport Taxi service has a flat rate of 38 euro during the day (before midnight) to the city center.
There is going to be plenty of room for your bags, and the driver can take you directly to your hotel. This method provides the least hassle when getting from Athens airport to city center.
You can also pre-book your taxi with Welcome Pickups and the driver will meet you in the arrivals lounge. This meet and great welcome service doesn't cost you any more money, but it makes life so much easier. You can even pre-order some essential items like a Greek sim card which they will bring for you. During the ride to your hotel in Athens, your driver : Most expensive method (but cheaper than a metro for four passengers during the day). Passengers should note that if you get in a taxi before midnight but arrive at your hotel AFTER midnight, you will pay the more expensive fare of 54 euros!
And this is a shame, because generally speaking, Athens has a clean, moderneasy.
If you are determined to use the metro, then follow the signs out of the arrivals area which say ‘train'. You will eventually cross a road, go up some stairs, and then use a bridge over a road system and to the metro station.
It takes about 5 or 10 minutes. My advice when you get to the station, is to buy the ticket from the ticket office and then ask which platform you need to be on.
The Athens airport metro runs every 30 minutes, but only between the hours of 06.30 and 23.30. The ticket prices are € 10 for one person, € 18 for two people, and € 24 for three people. A single return ticket valid for 48 hours is € 18.
At 6 euros per person, the Athens airport bus is by far the cheapest transport option. There are 4 separate routes, with the x95 Athens Airport Bus to Syntagma Square being the most popular. If you are staying at a hotel near the center, this is the bus you would take.
The x96 Athens Airport to Piraeus Port bus is the next most popular if you are heading straight to the port to catch a ferry to one of the islands. The other 2 buses are the X93 Athens Airport to Kifisou Avenue bus, and the X97 Athens Airport to Elliniko bus.
When I travel to and from Athens airport I choose to use the bus as it is most convenient for me. (It literally drops me off outside my front door!).
Once you have them, continue walking along in the same direction looking for the X95 sign. When the bus pulls up, don't expect an orderly queue Northern European style! Be as quick as you can, and grab a seat!
Once you have your seat, THEN you can validate your ticket in the ticket stamp machine at the center of the bus. If you don't, you may be standing for the entire journey.
Cons: You might not always get a seat. Somewhat confusing if you need to get off a few stops before the final destination. Feels crowded. On some days the bus can make the journey in 45 minutes, on others, it might take 90 depending on traffic.
Dave's Opinion – If you know Athens or where you are going, using the airport bus is probably the best option. I would say it isn't the easiest way for people new to Athens or Greece, or for people with lots of bags.
So, now you, it's time to start planning your time in the city. Luckily, I've got |

en | N/A | N/A | On November 21 in the city of Venice the feast of the Madonna della Salute is celebrated, established by the Venetian Republic in 1630 on the occasion of the liberation of the city of Venice from the plague.
In 1687 the Basilica of the Madonna della Salute was consecrated, an “ex voto” for the end of the epidemic and a symbol of the rebirth of Venice. The building, with its dome and large volutes, is one of the masterpieces of Baldassarre Longhena, a genius of the Italian Baroque.
For more than three hundred years the Basilica has characterized the scenery of the San Marco basin and is the destination of the pilgrimage of thousands of citizens who on this date go to light a candle to the Madonna, crossing the Grand Canal thanks to a suggestive bridge made of boats set up to the occasion.
This year the Feast of the Madonna della Salute will take place next Monday. The Basilica will be open from 06:00 to 22:30 to allow all the faithful to go there despite their daily commitments.
The church of the Madonna della Salute can also be reached from the mainland. With our All Inclusive service you can park and board the Pink Line which connects San Giuliano to Fondamente Nove via water from 09:00 to 18:30 (by booking online you will access the discounted rate). With a 20-minute walk and crossing the Votive Bridge, you will comfortably arrive at the Basilica. |

I think you have typo on last line. It needs to be @endauth. Maybe you have an issue in your auth guards? Are you sure that "shopowner" correspond to one of the guards configured in your auth.php?
You have two role (1)shopmanager (2)shopowner. right??
@wau, typo i updated. but that was not the issue.
@Manisha, role is not some column name in table. i am using guard of laravel.
This should be marked as best answer, I was trying to understand why extends was ignoring my conditions (displaying both mobile and desktop version). You totally saved my day!
I already had tried if (Auth::guard('shopmanager')->check()) syntax before and still the same issue. tried your syntax also.
The error comes from one of the view which is included in 'shopmanager's' master template which we extending in above code. in that view the $user variable obviously can't be found and that's why we don't want to load the complete master view wrapper.
I think the problem is not here,but in master app file.
I have added the master template file too. but my point is.. why even it is going inside that to check the include files?
First you are check shopmanager role is available or not? try this and check anythink getting or not @if(Auth::user()->role=='shopmanager') dd(Auth::user()->role) @endif
This didn't work for me. I bet the @extend still goes for compilation regardless of the condition. check my solution which worked will explain it.
have you ever tried to @include(..) another template inside your master template(which is not logged in) and there print some undefined variable. you will catch the point.

The EC said that Mamata Banerjee's remarks violated several sections of the Model Code of Conduct and the Indian law.
The Election Commission's notice came on Mamata Banerjee's remarks against the CRPF she used in poll campaign rallies on March 27 and April 7. During her speech, Mamata Banerjee had allegedly accused the central security forces for intimidating voters and urged the women to gherao the forces.

en | N/A | N/A | One of the most exciting milestones in someone's life is owning their dream home. However, because purchasing a house can be costly, achieving this dream may not be easy.
Applying for a home loan or mortgage is an option to be a step closer to making your dream happen. While doing your research on home loans, it is natural to come across a few myths and misconceptions.
Here are five of the most common you’ll hear about.
A popular myth is that having a bad credit history disqualifies you from getting a home loan. In fact, some lenders offer home loans especially created for people with a bad credit history suitable for their needs.
Find an experienced broker who can help you determine how to go about this.
Even though a bad credit home loan is designed especially for people with financial problems, including previous bankruptcy and delinquent payments, you can use it in other cases, too.
Many Aussies can't get approved for a mortgage because they have a credit file that is not detailed enough, have too much debt, or have not made enough money recently to show a lender that they can afford their mortgage.
Sub-prime lenders can help with this problem as they often offer better interest rates and mortgages to people who cannot work with mainstream lenders.
Many people in Australia think that no matter how big or small an unpaid bill is, it will still be recorded as a default. However, the truth is that no lender will consider a due statement no matter how big or small the amount is.
On the other hand, lenders have the process of handling paid and unpaid defaults.
An unpaid default will destroy your overlooked the problem for too long. A paid default makes you seem more responsible, as you accepted responsibility and tried to fix it.
That is not true. Creditors are much more interested to hear your stories. They will understand every life situation that will significantly impact your paying capacity such as having an expensive surgery, marriage breakdown, or losing your job.
Using a bad credit mortgage to buy a home can be an excellent strategy, provided you have already prepared a budget and have started saving for your down payment.
A bad credit home loan is a short-term solution, and in 6-12 months, you can get rid of it. As soon as your defaults expire or you show good repayment history, you generally can refinance into a standard loan.
Being able to purchase your own home is a great accomplishment. It is important that you select a good mortgage company that will help you find the right mortgage loan.

Add to this the fact that India has not won a Test in calendar 1997 and it is all the more puzzling.
Going on sheer form, Australia were expected to have the better of the exchanges. And if they did lose they were expected to be beaten by a small margin. Not 179 runs. The result has left a lot of forecasters, not least this writer, with plenty of egg on their faces.
I think it was more than anything the Tendulkar factor that took away the initiative from the Aussies. He, and Sidhu to a lesser extent, ensured that Australia's main weapon, Shane Warne, was neutralised. And once that was done, more than half the battle was won. The conditions were better known to the Indian spinners but a bowler of Warne's class cannot offer that as an excuse. No, Tendulkar started the business when he took Warne to pieces in Bombay; Sidhu continued the job and Tendulkar delivered the upper cut with his majestic hundred. Warne is physically not at his best; remember he kept away from New Zealand to preserve his strength for this series. The food has not been going down well with him either and the mauling he took must have been the last straw.
There was one point in the match when Australia had the upper hand but they failed to ram home the advantage. After Ian Healy and Gavin Robertson had given the team an unlikely first innings lead, Australia could have turned the situation into an advantageous one for themselves if they had managed to take two or three Indian wickets before the lead was wiped out. But Sidhu put paid to any such plans.
And after he made his exit, it was left to Tendulkar to handle the willow in a manner in which only a batsman of his calibre can. He showed every bowler that he was the master on this wicket and nothing they did was going to occasion him any discomfort. He chanced his arm a bit but when a batsman of his class does so, there are better than even chances that he will get away with it.
Despite the victory, an old Indian weakness showed: Australia were 137 for six and were allowed to recover to 328 all out. How many times in the past have India been in a similar position, only to fail to deliver the killer blow? Fortunately, after the Indian second innings was over, the initiative had been fully regained; Mohammed Azharuddin's confident declaration was evidence of this. The target was eminently gettable had not the Aussies been both mentally and physically drained by then.
Australia have been in the same lane before: last year they were beaten in the opening Ashes Test but came back strongly to win the next three. They were beaten inside three days in the Caribbean in 1995 but regrouped to win the next Test, a victory that eventually made the first team in 15 years to win a series over the West Indies, and that too a case of bearding the lion in his own den.
Mark Taylor's refusal to blame the umpiring for the team's defeat is a positive reaction. Taylor knows better than most that the battle is fought in the mind and if his men are to come back, they have to believe that they were beaten by a better team on the day. Cricket, especially at this level, is mostly a mental game and if they can avoid the rut of thinking they are a beaten lot, they can definitely make this a series to remember. |

In 2016, the it that had been constructed, in a way, in 1999. Titled Inbox: the Original Emoji, it depicted the first 176 emojis ever invented, by Japanese programmer Shigetaka Kurita.
The 1999 project was part of an attempt by Japanese telecom giant DOCOMO—still the largest mobile phone provider in the country—to make universal a pictorial language that had its roots in 1990’s chat rooms and early text message conversations. Early symbols, like “:)” in place of a smiley face, were transferred, by Kurita, onto 12x12 pixel grids and turned into the 176 emojis.
Those first images were pixelated, as you might expect considering it was 1999, the same year the original Blackberry was launched, making for an exciting year in technological advances. Emojis have never been about how accurate or high resolution they are, but rather how you can accomplish a lot with a little. Twenty years on, it remains true that emojis captivate with their ability to convey emotions in unique and surprising ways, left for the beholder to interpret.
While emojis enjoyed nationwide popularity after launching in Japan, it took a full decade for them to become standard on smartphones across the globe. In 2007, the iPhone launched, and shortly thereafter came the first emojis on IoS. There was a catch, though—only Japanese iPhones were emoji-equipped in 2008. By 2010, the characters finally made their way onto international soil with the help of Unicode, a technology standard that helped universalize emoji script.
There were some issues. For one, the first widely available set of emoji only featured characters with white skin, and while there were options to use male emojis in various career-evoking symbols—policeman, construction worker, etc.—there was a single female representation: a bride with a veil. There were flags representing some countries, while the overwhelming majority were omitted.
With each Unicode update, a new set of emojis arrived. As they progressed, they became more representative of people from all different walks of life. Users were soon able to choose default skin colors, and adjust skin color and tone for each symbol. Same-sex couples were added, and a pistol was changed to a squirt gun. A rainbow flag was added, in addition to the flags of many countries previously unreleased.
By 2015, emojis had taken on a life of their own, so much so that(😂) emoji “Word of the Year.” Maybe it was a gimmick to attract young people that had never heard of or opened an Oxford dictionary, but the undeniable momentum behind the symbols meant a scholarly honoring of an emoji was hardly out of place: That same year, 92 percent of smartphone users reported using emojis regularly, a number that can only have grown since.
Emojipedia's logo
These days, if the original emojis launched in Japan were a human being, they could legally buy a beer. There are over 3,300 emojis on the latest Unicode version, launched in March 2020. There is something called Emojipedia, which keeps a running log of current emojis and their history. Temojis in tweetsdabbled in the world of emoji. They are so ubiquitous we may forget the huge impact that emojis have had on technology and the way we express ourselves. This simple hybrid of visual symbols and technology has shaped the ways we think about and use icons and imagery, as well as how we communicate.

en | N/A | N/A | This paper develops a three-dimensional guidance and control algorithm to ensure that a manoeuverable target is preserved by a quadrotor in a long-term tracking scenario. The proposed guidance approach determines the desired altitude of the quadrotor to adjust the field of view (FOV) to the union of two desired trusted and critical regions. The dimensions of the desired trusted region depend on the controller performance that is evaluated by the distance of the target from the center of the FOV. The critical region is a predefined margin around the trusted region that is defined by the operator based on the upper bounds of the quadrotor and target localisation errors. It also depends on the duration and magnitude of the temporal increase in the target velocity compared to the quadrotor velocity. A sufficient condition is provided for the minimum desired altitude of the quadrotor to ensure that the target is maintained in the FOV. Furthermore, a model predictive control (MPC) is employed to preserve the target at the center of the aerial image and the desired altitude determined by the guidance law. Also, the integrals of the position errors are used to achieve null steady-state errors in the presence of wind disturbanc preserving the manoeuverable target in the FOV in the presence of the wind, the uncertainty of the target and quadrotor localisation, accelerations estimation errors, and terrain altitude variation.
On the basis of air heater characteristics, a new computational model was developed in this paper, which was aimed at investigating acoustics and instabilities in air heaters. This model included the effects of mean flow, viscosity, entropy waves, non-linear acoustics and realistic boundary conditions. In addition, it was practical for air heaters with hundreds of injectors, complex configurations and geometries. Analytical solutions of acoustics in a closed rectangular cavity were used to verify and validate the computational model. It was shown that the predicted critical parameters of air heater agreed well with the experimental data or design values. This model predicted the self-excited spinning tangential modes without any preliminary assumptions about them. Traditional combustion response function assumes that combustion mainly takes place in a so-called rapid combustion zone, and this zone is usually modelled as a disc in the combustor near the injection head. However, in practice, the flame has a spatial distribution. This paper described the effect of flame spatial distribution on predictions of oscillation frequency and mode. It was found that frequency and mode shape of oscillations closely depended on the length of the heat release zone. Comparison of different heat release zones indicated that the increment of heat release length exhibited an increased tendency toward lower-order longitudinal modes, when the heat release zone was located near the faceplate where it was the pressure antinode of the longitudinal mode. Modulation of heat release length might cause bifurcations between standing and turning modes. A noticeable tendency was toward higher-order standing tangential mode with increasing heat release length. Finally, theoretical analysis of the modal behaviour, i.e. standing or spinning waves, was performed.
The design and development of Stratospheric Airships for High-Altitude Long-Endurance missions (HALESAs) has generated interest worldwide. Conventional airships usually have a single-lobed axisymmetrical envelope shape. In contrast, several non-axisymmetric envelope configurations have been proposed for the HALESAs, such as flattened single lobed and multi lobed. This paper describes a methodology for carrying out a comparative analysis of a conventional HALESA and the multi-lobed HALESA designed for the same design mission. A sizing methodology which enables the estimation of its design parameters to meet some user-specified requirements has been developed for airships with envelopes of both these shapes. A Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) approach has been followed in this methodology, which includes considerations from the disciplines of aerodynamics, energy, environment and structures. The study indicates that the envelope volume, solar array area and total mass of the single-lobed conventional airship are better than those of the tri-lobed HALESA. While the multi-lobed HALESA has the advantage of a flatter upper surface resulting in higher efficiency of the solar panels, the conventional airship has lower drag, which results in superior mission performance. |
en | N/A | N/A | Fast fashion online shopping platform Shein is quickly becoming a go-to for cute and size-inclusive clothes. However, several people have come out with stories about its alleged unethical practices that will have you thinking twice about making a purchase on the site.
O the artist said. “Putting aside the ethics of stolen artwork, what kind of godawful conditions are you putting (underpaid) workers through to manufacture a pin that you sell for a buck.” The artist has since been able to get the listing taken down but was unable to receive compensation.
Artist Elora Pautrat alleged that Shein has created knock-off prints of their work, with a photo on the site that purportedly shows someone hand painting the piece. The artist stated in an update that although the work has been removed from the site, there has been no reply to the emails sent nor any compensation.
One other artist alleged in a tweet that their print was being sold on the website along with a photo which seems to claim that the product was also handmade by the seller. She said in the thread, “[I] received a response from Shein today. Apparently, they bought it from a vendor and didn’t know it was copyrighted. [The] product has been removed but I decided to do a little digging and this is just a small selection of places I found profiting from my work.” She posted screenshots of her artwork listed on sites such as AliExpress, Amazon, Cdiscount, Charlotty and Alisa Diamond Paintings without her permission. Whether or not it’s true that Shein did not know about the copyright, it would seem that the site is complicit in an unethical and frankly predatory practice that does not seek to authenticate ownership of works nor ensure compensation for wronged artists.
Several netizens, such as Andre Padua, have been warning others not to shop at Shein by collating accounts of people calling the brand out.
In the past, the brand issued an apology for selling swastika pendants and Muslim prayer mats (which were listed as “frilled Greek carpets”). According to Good on You, which publishes ratings on ethical and sustainable fashion, Shein has a lack of transparency regarding its environmental and labor policies. It’s no secret that a lot of fast fashion brands have been employing sweatshops and child labor.
Apart from these, a 2018 cyberattack on the company exposeShein customers. In a statement, Shein stated that it “ conduct a thorough investigation.” Still, it’s hard to put a vote of confidence in a company that does not value its users’ security.
El Mundo reported in 2019 that very little is known about Shein’s founder named Cris Xu. It speculates that the man might not even exist since there is “almost no traceable or verifiable information on the whereabouts of the alleged tycoon.” While the mystery behind its CEO and the lack of press contacts for the company may seem “just’ weird, it’s enough to raise questions about its business model. |

Real estate self-directed IRAs are a type of IRA that allows investors to include real estate as part of their investment vehicles. In this article, we consider how to buy real estate with your SDIRA and the rules you must follow, as well as the pros and cons of taking such a step.

As investors seek to maximize returns for their investments, self-directed IRAs have become more popular.
Unlike traditional IRAs that limit your investment vehicles to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certificates of deposit (CDs), self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) allow you to explore alternative investments like cryptocurrencies, real estate, commodities and private placements. These non-traditional investment vehicles have been known to post higher returns than their traditional counterparts.
One such alternative investment is real estate. Many consider real estate as an opportunity to generate long-term, generational wealth. This is especially so for those who have experience buying and selling properties or those who have profitable knowledge of a particular local real estate market.
Though real estate is a good potential investment, it has its drawbacks. Among these is the problem of illiquidity, the possibility of making a loss on a property and the high cost of maintaining a property. When you own them in an SDIRA, these problems still exist.
Therefore, before choosing to have your self-directed IRA hold real estate, you must understand the pros and cons as well as the rules that you must abide by to avoid penalties.
How Do You Purchase Real Estate With an SDIRA?
As real estate SDIRAs — SDIRAs that allow investment in real estate (single-family homes, apartment buildings, multiplex homes and all forms of commercial properties) — grow increasingly popular, many investors want to know how to buy real estate in their self-directed IRAs. There are a few steps you can take to invest:
1. Find a Custodian
Just like a traditional IRA, the first step towards having an SDIRA holding real estate is to find a custodian.
However, unlike traditional IRAs, you need to find a custodian that specifically allows you to purchase real estate in your SDIRA.
Though this is more difficult than finding a custodian for a traditional IRA, it is not an impossible task. Custodians including Provident, IRA Services Trust Company and IRA Financial Group provide such access. Some custodians have more involved fee structures than others, so it’s worth doing research and comparing options.
It bears mentioning that the custodian does not have a duty to perform due diligence on the assets you decide to purchase in an SDIRA. The duties of the custodian are limited to managing the transaction, doing the paperwork and reporting the finances.
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, “Custodians for self-directed IRAs disclaim most duties to investors,” and this includes the duty of evaluating “the quality or legitimacy of any investment in the self-directed IRA or its promoters.”
2. Operate a Self-Directed IRA
Once you have your SDIRA account with a custodian, you can proceed in two ways.
First, you can choose to open an LLC corporation under the SDIRA through which you make all purchases and sales. Also known as checkbook IRA, this option allows you to have complete control over your SDIRA. The LLC will have a checking account, name and tax ID number through which you can make transactions.
The second option is to purchase and sell through a broker. In this case, the broker deals with your custodian to purchase properties with the money in your SDIRA and charges a fee for the service.
The first thing to understand is that your SDIRA is a separate legal entity from yourself. When you buy properties, you are doing so in the name of your SDIRA. All purchases are made through money in your SDIRA and all rental income and proceeds from sales of properties are remitted into the same account. Similarly, all expenses on repairs and maintenance are made from the SDIRA account.
That you invest in real estate does not undermine the IRS-mandated contribution limits: You can’t contribute more than $6,000 (if you are under 50) or $7,000 (if you are age 50 or older) annually to any IRA. Consequently, every transaction on real estate has to take place within that contribution limit. Any contributions beyond that limit come with a hefty 6% tax penalty.
Since it’s almost impossible to get a mortgage to purchase properties through your SDIRA, you will likely have to make all purchases from your SDIRA with cash. This also means there is no tax deduction for mortgage interest payments. In the unlikely event that you do get approved for a mortgage through your SDIRA, income from properties bought with the mortgage will be considered as unrelated business taxable income and be taxed at the corporate tax rate.
Similarly, since the income you earn on your real estate grows tax-free in your SDIRA account, you won’t enjoy any deductions for property taxes.
4. Rent or Sell Real Estate
Any income you make from renting or selling real estate also goes back into your SDIRA account.
If your SDIRA is Roth, income will be taxed at the point of contribution, then grow tax-free until you withdraw it tax-free. But if it’s traditional, the income is not taxed at the point of contribution and will grow tax-free until taxed at the point of withdrawal.
For both traditional and Roth SDIRAs, you can’t make a withdrawal until you are 59 1/2 years old. However, for the former, you are also mandated to start making withdrawals (called required minimum distributions, or RMDs) by the time you turn 72 in most cases.
What Rules Are There For Investing In Real Estate in an SDIRA?
Remember that IRAs exist to benefit you during retirement, not beforehand, and the investments held within an SDIRA are no different. If you’ve noticed, we have emphasized that there is a legal separation between you and your SDIRA. This separation is even more explicit by the various rules guiding an SDIRA.
According to the IRS, the following are considered disqualified persons for the purpose of your SDIRA:
Your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their spouses
The service providers of your SDIRA
None of these disqualified persons can use or otherwise immediately financially benefit from the property you purchase through your SDIRA, including as a vacation home, a second home or a business space.
Similarly, you cannot buy or sell properties to any of these disqualified persons. Such transactions are considered self-dealing, and they come with penalties (for one, you will lose the tax-free and tax-deferred benefits on that property).
Given the stress and difficulties associated with investing in real estate through an SDIRA, why do investors still go ahead with it?
Benefits Investors Seek To Enjoy From Real Estate SDIRAs
Since SDIRAs have long-term horizons, many investors believe that they are well suited for real estate investments which also have long-term horizons. Over the long term, investors hope that they can sell their properties for a high price and therefore earn high returns.
This is an especially strong point for those with experience in the industry or those with sufficient enough knowledge of a particular real estate market to make wise investments.
Real estate has traditionally been viewed as a hedge against inflation. When the prices of goods and services increase, rent and the prices of homes often increase with them, providing security for investors.
Many investors consider real estate an opportunity to diversify their traditional investment portfolios of stocks and bonds. Data collected from Morning Star and analyzed by ETF Trends between 2012 and 2020 shows a near-zero correlation between real estate and bonds (0.04), bitcoin (0.01) and gold (0.09) while the correlation is stronger with stocks (0.73).
This means that real estate is a good diversification tool when coupled with bonds, bitcoin and gold, but not so much with stocks. Nevertheless, real estate remains a diversification tool for many investors.
The rental income from properties grows tax-free in an SDIRA. Real estate, therefore, presents an opportunity to earn regular passive income in the interim. However, remember that you can’t withdraw your income until you are 59 ½ years old.
What Are the Drawbacks of Investing in Real Estate?
All is not simple and straightforward when purchasing real estate from your SDIRA. There exist some drawbacks that might constitute turn-offs for some investors.
Drawbacks to Purchasing Real Estate with an SDIRA
Identifying custodians who allow real estate can be challenging. Since the pool is smaller, you might also have to pay high fees with little wriggle room to negotiate more favorable terms.
Lack of Tax Deductions
If you pay with cash, you won’t enjoy any mortgage interest payment deductions. There are also no property tax deductions or depreciation on the property.
As a disqualified person, you can’t handle the repairs and maintenance of your properties yourself. Again, there is a legal separation between you and your SDIRA. Therefore, all repairs and maintenance must be outsourced.
Owning and maintaining properties can be very expensive. This means there is a good chance you will need to exceed your contribution limits if you intend to keep your properties in good condition. This comes with a 6% tax penalty that you’ll have to factor into your overall costs.
For a traditional IRA, you must start making RMD at 72 (or 70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020). However, real estate is illiquid and it takes time to convert a property to cash. If your RMD sets in and you can’t quickly turn real estate into cash, you will incur penalties.
Apart from RMD, you might also need to make a voluntary withdrawal out of need (provided you are 59 ½ years old or above). If you can’t turn your property into cash as quickly as you would like, financial stress may be unavoidable.
With stocks and bonds, you can easily and predictably reduce your risk by diversifying. However, diversification is tougher with real estate because the price of one real estate parcel is significant compared to the price of one stock or one bond. This inability to diversify means you are taking on more risk — your eggs are concentrated in one or two baskets and any loss will be felt in a more significant way.
Investing in Real Estate Through Traditional Investment Vehicles
For those who would like to invest in real estate but are skeptical to do so through a real estate-focused SDIRA the drawbacks, there are other ways to invest in real estate through traditional investment vehicles.
First, you have real estate investment trusts (REITs). These are companies that pull money together to buy and sell properties. Since they have more investable dollars, they can diversify. Instead of buying and selling properties yourself, you can invest in the stocks of these companies and enjoy the benefit of diversification.
Second, you have real estate ETFs. These are exchange-traded funds that invest in a basket of REITs. Instead of buying one or two REITs here and then, you can buy a basket that contains tens or even hundreds of REITs. This way, you can enjoy even further diversification and reduce your risk exposure.
Third, are real estate mutual funds. They are similar to ETFs except that, while ETFs can be traded during trading hours, mutual funds are only traded at the end of trading hours.
With these three instruments, you can overcome the illiquidity, high costs and high-risk drawbacks of real estate SDIRAs. However, these other options might not provide the kind of long-term returns you might make otherwise.
But do you have the prowess to make those choices and live with the associated disadvantages? The choice is yours. However, ensure you speak to your financial advisor before making such an impactful decision.
Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate SDIRAs
Can I invest in real estate with other types of IRAs?
You can only invest in real estate with a self-directed IRA. Even so, not all custodians allow investing in real estate. Consequently, you have to find a custodian who offers self-directed IRAs that allow real estate investing.
How will my SDIRA custodian manage my real estate transaction?

If Minnu Palen was unlawful in this case is topic of a court. All this huge texts about TOS’ and copyrights, derivatives and what exactly is allowed and what is not is nothing but a smoke grenade. It does not concern us.
Now, that Minnu Palen is accused to steal skins we can read stuff like “benefit of doubt is by law. Burden of proof is on those making the accusation” and “comparison images are not proof”.
For the Second Life Community comparison images were a proof in the past and so they are now. Nothing changed meanwhile but Minnu Palen is on the other side now.
Nothing has changed just because Minnu Palen is the person who is accused to stole skins.
“Two wrongs do not make a right. At the very least we can boycott her blog, and also issues like this on blogs like this, which allow for a freer dialogue than hers does, which from what I understand is heavily moderated in her favor.”

In the diet should add all the food groups that are good for weight loss and to have a healthy life.
The most important thing to achieve is to create a balanced diet with foods that are going to add and contains significant benefits for our body.

2. If you want to lose weight with this healthy food should be soft and will take a while.
For those foods that target weight loss in a few days can be very dangerous for your body, but does not mean that we advise you to follow a diet of this kind from time to time.

en | N/A | N/A | Today being The Reading Agency's #ReadingTogether Day feels like the appropriate time to publish my first summer reading list, because it comes with a twist ...
Increasingly, I've been thinking about reading as a social activity, not a solitary one. And I wanted to produce a personalised reading list for the students and families I have taught this year.
After all, we committed readers love to share recommendations (and warnings about awful books), and there's nothing better than discussing a book you love with like-minded people.
Let's go a little further. Study after study after study tells us that readers do better, in all school subjects, and socially / emotionally too. At the end of A Level Lit courses I typically ask my students what they have gained from the course, and the two most frequent answers relate to self-knowledge and empathy for others. So far so good, and perhaps especially important in these dislocating times.
Mainly because there is plenty in there about the idea of reading which takes place away from school. If just the presence of books in the house is a positive factor - and it is - imagine the power of watching the adults you love enjoying reading ...
books adults could read over the summer, so that they could be caught reading ...
And this is what I have tried to produce. It's not perfect, by any means. It's based on my personal reading over the past couple of years. I haven't always aimed for 'high literature'. But as much as anything it is intended as a catalyst, a jump-start for some reading over the summer.
Lists in newspapers are often controversial, and designed to provoke debate - just today I've responded to one in a national newspaper about the best game consoles of all time!

en | N/A | N/A | Hermes Wing Tattoo: Freedom, Quickness, Ability And Eloquence.
When we think of wing tattoos, we usually think of those large, detailed back or color tattoos that are very popular recently. These tattoos can feature wings from angels, birds, butterflies, dragons, or even from messengers of ancient Gods. Usually, wing tattoos are emblems of innocence, divine justice, grace, guidance, sweetness, and spirituality. They are often done in shades of black and grey, filling a large space, and looking realistic. However, they can also be colorful or done like tribal tattoo designs.
Hermes wings, which are the wings of the messenger of the Greek Gods, are a very common motif for tattoo designs. Below, we are going to talk about Hermes, and what his wings in tattoo art represent.
Hermes is the God of trade, merchants, heraldry, commerce, thieves, sports, travels, and athletes in Ancient Greek mythology and religion. He is the son of Zeus and Pleiad Maia and was the second youngest of the Olympian gods.
Hermes was the emissary, and also the messenger of the Greek gods. He was the divine trickster, and the God of boundaries, and also the transgression of those boundaries. He was the patron of herdsmen, graves, heralds, and thieves.
Stories and myths describe himHe was the one that conducted souls into the afterlife. Moreover, he wAccording to some myths, he is a trickster, and he outwits the other gods. He does that just for his satisfaction, or also for the sake of humanity. His symbols and attributes include the herma, the tortoise, the rooster, satchel or pouch, winged cap, and sandals.
His principalh actually appears in the form of two snakes that wrap around a winged staff with carvings of other gods.
In the Roman adaptation of the pantheon from Greece, Hermes is the Roman God Mercury. This God also developed some similar characteristics, like being the patron of commerce.
Hermes is also the author of skilled or deceptive acts and as a benefactor of mortals. In the Iliad, he is famous for being the bringer of good luck, guardian, and guide and excellent in tricks. He was a perfect ally of the Greek gods against the Trojans. Butor. Moreover, he accompanied them back to Troy.
Hermes wing tattoos, meaning, and symbolism.
Hermes was the fleet-footed messenger of the gods in ancient Greece. Moreover, he had duties that involved conducting the dead to Hades. He always carried the caduceus and wore winged sandals that permitted him to fly rapidly from one place to another.
The tattoo, which recollects him and his speed, involves small wings. They are often tattooed near the ankle, on the outside of the leg. They are approximately near the place where the wings on his boots would have been.
The mercurial wiles of paying tribute to Hermes, the messenger of gods, are different from those that choose these tattoos. Usually, they indicate a restless soul, the relentless wanderer, or those that want to fly as high as they can.
This Greek God exemplified the powerful weight of freedom. He was both quick in movement and in spirit, two attributes that were dear for those ancient and prestigious cultures.
Famous for the wings on his ankles, he represents the dreams of many to explore, wander, and know this world intimately.
Most of the Hermes tattoos are simple the wings on the ankle. However, it is the form of these wings that impart an individual and specific meaning. More massive wings show the world that the wearer of the tattoo holds freedom in very high esteem.
Indeed, the idea of taking flight spontaneously, and leaving for some unknown parts, is especially appealing to tattoo lovers. Hermes tattoos show that your soul is running wild, in bounds and leaps. This is the untamed tattoo for the people that don’t wish to be tamed.
Generally said, we can add wings, as a design element, to other imagery, such as hearts, nautical tattoos, gun tattoos, daggers, etc. However, Hermes wing tattoos are specific and have a really special placement, and that’s why they are often present alone.
Wing tattoos, in general, may represent mystical aspects, transforming something into a more evolved state, etc. They can represent something that is more spiritual. For instance, Hermes wing tattoos may represent freedom, capacity, or speed.
Hermes is the messenger of gods, and he was the God of eloquence, trading, thievery, and orating. Ankle tattoos may be symbolic of this historical figure, who was the personification of quickness, both mentally and physically.
However, you choose your tattoo, which means that you have the right to give it your own meaning and symbolism. But, before you consider taking this particular tattoo design, ress because not every sense and meaning corresponds to different personalities.

en | N/A | N/A | Elderflower “Champagne” Recipe – Wild Edible Plants
This elderflower “champagne” recipe is from my book Preserving Everything. It is my version of the way this beverage has been made for at least a couple of centuries. Don’t be alarmed at the large amount of sugar or honey: that’s to feed the wild yeast, not you. There is no need to add yeast because there is enough wild yeast already present on elderflowers.
4-6 large elderberry flowerheads (5 or more inches in diameter – use more if yours are smaller), better, thick ceramic or beer bottles with flip tops, but the fermentation will be vigorous and could explode regular repurposed wine bottles). Leave at least an inch of head space.<<
Note that you should strip the flowers from the green stems. You can do this by rolling the flower heads between your hands. The green stems impart an unpleasant vegetal taste to the final product. Even if you leave out the “thick stalks” as instructed here, but leave in the thinner stems, your flavor will suffer. |
en | N/A | N/A | What do we do in the Republic of Moldova?
About 25% of the Republic of Moldova’s (Moldova’s) population lives abroad, including over one-third of the labour force. The resulting population ageing and depopulation of rural areas pose significant developmental challenges that can be addressed by better leveraging the contributions of migrants and diaspora. In this context, the Programme seeks to enhance Moldova’s diaspora engagement by mapping the diaspora’s contributions to Moldovan communities and building government capacities to engage with diaspora.
The Programme builds the capacities of local and national governments to support diaspora engagement and data collection through the piloting of an innovative new approach that tracks diasporic economic engagement in their home communities beyond direct monetary transfers (e.g. philanthropy, investments, tourism and more), based on new IOM guidance, Contributions and Counting: Measuring the Economic Contributions of your Diaspora Beyond Remittances.
Through this piloting, the government will be able to more strategically develop partnerships with the Moldovan diaspora and better leverage their skills, financial and economic power, networks and more to improvees. Building on the Migration Data Survey Report on Moldova, the Programme will also enhance national and local migration data systems so the government is able to develop migration and sustainable development policies that reflect migration’s complex realities in Moldova. Moreover, the Programme is supporting the national government to facilitate the engagement of Moldovan diaspora in joint development initiatives on central and local levels by setting up an online platform for interaction, expertise sharing and involvement called "eMoldovaTa.gov.md” (“It’s Your Moldova").
The Programme is also supporting the local UN Country Team and the UN National Migration Network Task Force to leverage the Global Compact for Migration for the 2030 Agenda and reflect migration and development nexus in the UN planning and analytical documents. The Programme builds off an IOM-UNDP Multi-Year Roadmap for Cooperation on Migration and Sustainable Development, launched in June 2021 and developed through the UNDP-IOM COVID-19 Seed Funding Initiative. The roadmap aims to foster further joint programming and fundraising, which the Programme supports through technical assistance.
In order to build on these successes globally, Moldovan national and local governments also share their good practices and build capacities of the other 10 countries within the Global Programme. The national government of Moldova is co-leading our Programme Peer Exchange Group on Diaspora Engagement.
This exchange group both showcases Moldova’s achievements in these topics and allows for knowledge exchange and capacity building so other governments and stakeholders may upscale good practices in their contexts. Within the Programme, national and local government authorities are also enabled to share their experiences and knowledge in regional and global fora, such as Global Forum on Migration and Development. |

Anabolic Steroids Anabolic steroids, also known as anabolic compounds, are compounds that increase metabolism, and increase body weight, steroid anadrol. We'll explore more about anabolic steroids, and how they differ frtestosterone, later in the article . However before we do that, it's important to talk about what you're looking at above. Anabolic steroids and steroids are both known to increase muscle mass, and both do t as well as blood glucose, oxygen, water, and sugar, ostarine sarms buy. Anabolic steroids do not increase sexual function in the same sense that anabolic steroids increase body weight. Anabolic Steroids: Do They Really Increase Muscle Mass? Although there are plenty of good articles on the internet explaining the advantages and downsides of anabolic steroids, as the name implies, steroids have anabolic properties, sarm cardarine 10 mg. Anabolic steroids do in factbut this does not occur as quickly as a fast and easy way to gain a few kilos, and even if it did, it would not do anything to improve sexual function. The main benefit is that steroids enhance the ability of you to put on more muscle mass, but it would be a very unlikely coincidence, dbal install. Anabolic steroids act at the level of individual protein binding sites, and increase muscle protein synthesis but does not appear to have any effect on growth hormone levels. So unless your body is very specific about the way it reacts to an anabolic steroid, you will not gain any significant amount of muscle growth, cardarine efeitos colaterais. Anabolic steroids do affect fat loss, although it is usually not a particularly good thing, as they tend to induce fat storage – in the form of muscle.

Anabolic Steroids: How Do They Effect Male Sexual Function?and testosterone levels (and thus muscular strength) if you use them, but there is no reason to do thiD. C. Hillman, MD The "first" treatment strategy is the treatment of sepsis. The second one is the induction of organ transplantation. A simple explanation of why you want to do the former: The reason your kidney is failing is because of a condition known as sepsis. In sepsis, the blood supply to the area where the infected organ is located dries up. Most people havetheir symptoms, and the symptoms depend, in part, on the type of organ damaged or not. So a simple explanation of why you should do the latter may prove more complicated than one that focuses on the former. The reason we do it is that, among other things, it increases the chance of survival. However, for transplantation, you have to show that this particular organ needs to be removed to save a life, and this is difficult. When the recipient dies of organ failure, it might require organ removal to ensure that the donor's life is saved. Then you should do the first step — transplantation of kidneys. If the kidneys are still working and not too far from death, you still have a chance to save that life. That's the reason you do the second step — induction of organ transplantation. Is it necessary to inject in the kidney? No, you don't need to inject anything in the kidney; only a blood component is needed. What can the medical community do? It is not uncommon during a person's last weeks of life to experience severe pain, but the pain does not need to be severe. If you have any of the following signs that you think are related to sepsis, call 911 immediately: Coughing up blood Swelling or swelling of the mouth and face Difficulty talking Coughing up blood These symptoms are generally described as severe pain and respiratory distress. You should also tell someone you trust — that's your doctor or emergency room doctor's name — about the signs of sepsis and that you think those may be related to the organ failure. What can people do? Don't panic. This is really more of a warning than a recommendation. Do not rush the onset of organ failure. You aren't likely to need to wait for the organs to Related Article:

What are Black Holes ?
A german astronomer predicted the existence of Black holes and he theoretically proved that black holes are the end results of all stars which have a mass greater than the sun. The black holes are the smallest and the most dense objects in the universe.
Scientists are still looking for the evidence of a real Black hole in the Universe. In the year 1974, a black hole Cygnus X-1 was discovered based on which they came to many other conclusions.
Though most of the things can be given a convincing answer, most others cannot be solved and still remaina puzzle. One such thing is the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle. It is a triangular region in the Atlantic Ocean, off the south east US. In this area, several ships and aircraftshasvanished without leaving a trace. The area is bounded by Florida, Puerto Rica and Bermuda. Thetriangle extends from 25 to 40 N latitude and 55 to 85 W longitude, covering a total area of 3,900,000 sq.Km
There were many attempts to unravel this mystery, but no one could possibly come out with a concrete solution. Some said that the heavy winds, and air currents were cause of this deadly act, where assome came up with the idea that there could be heavy Magnetic Fields that blocked the radio signals.But till date, no convincing answer has beem given on this.

LCD or Plasma ???
Television is one sector that has off late seen too much advancement that too in a very short span of 15 years. Technology has been advancing from CRT tubes to LCD to Plasma and now the latest being Organic LED display. So the customers have been subjected to lot of confusion. Let me try to clear that doubt as to which is the best, LCD or Plasma ?
Size of the Screen :
Plasma - from 32" till 63"
LCD - from 16" till 45"
Plasma - till 160˚
LCD - till 175˚
Plasma - Fairly heavy and need support to mount.
LCD - Weigh less and are portable.
In addition to this, Plasma Tv is 3" thick whereas LCDs are just 2" on less thick. Also Plasmas consume more power that LCDs. But when the Clarity is taken into consideration, Plasma excels LCD by a huge margin. Also the response time on case of plasma is 1 ms(milli second) only. Hence, now it is up to you to decidee between Plasma and LCD. But one thing is for sure, Plasma is very costlier than LCD. So after thorough analysis, LCD has a slight edge over plasma but with a slight compromise in clarity.

What actually is Recession ?
We have for quite sometime been hearing about the word 'recession'. What actually is it, what effects will it have on the country and on other countries ? Let's see in detail.
A country is said to be in recession when the GDP of two or more consecutive quarters is negative. However the effects of the recession will be felt well in advance, might be several quarters before. For example, the symptoms of a recession might be the pop up of unemployment, businesses coming to a halt, a stock market crash and many more.
Now, recession is slowly creeping into US. Hence, countries like India, Pakistan that are extensively dependent on US will surely suffer a setback. As a result of recession, the economy begins to crumble. The only and the effective solution could probably be the cut in the Interest Rates which is what the Federal Bank has done now. As a result of this, US is now showing some signs of recovery.

Tigers Shown the way Out ???
. Loss of Habitat
Poachers hunt them for their skin, bones etc. and other is the ever increasing human population and lack of space to live.
The effective ways are, implementing tough laws and enforcing penalties for those who break laws. Active campaigns, petitions, awareness among people, activists are the ones that can put a halt at this inhuman activity. If we do not stop this, then we wont have any tigers left to show the future generation that such an animal once roamed the Earth.

A Spy up in the Sky
A spy satellite is an observatory satellite used for the inspection purpose. It is used to take pictures of places on earth where it is focussed to and it is then descended to the earth. It is mainly for the surveillance purposes of some selected areas on the earth.
Today, these spy satellites are launched by some developed countries like US, Japan, China, Russia, Germany, UK etc. They are low orbit satellites and hence provide very high resolution pictures. Today these satellites are being used by these countries to monitor other country's military base and their arsenal.
Recently a US spy satellite lost control. US first planned to deploy it in the orbit itself, but because of the stiff opposition from the other countries, it was allowed to fall into the earth on its own. These satellites are known to contain some toxic chemicals and are harmful to the earth. Despite the voices of other countries, this has been going on for quite sometime. Hope these satellites are used for the welfare of the people like finding out mineral rich areas etc.

Microsoft Bids To Buy Yahoo !
In what would be the biggest Internet deal since the ill-fated Time Warner-AOL merger, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer sent a letter to Yahoo's board on Thursday night to offer $31 per share in cash and in stock.
"They have to do it because they've tried everything they can do to fix MSN. Yahoo is the most visited site in the world, so it goes without saying that, given the current valuation, this is the perfect time for them to buy it," said a critic.
Let's hope that it bring good to the users in the near future as we are all dependent on these two giants.

India, the T20 world champions never seemed to play like the world T20 champions. India succumbed to a low score of 74 which was too less to defend. The downfall started with the classic dismissal of Virendar Sehwag by Michael Clarke with a classic run out from backward point. India for a moment was on the verge of making the lowest total in T20, but some how scraped through to pass the total of 73, the lowest till date in T20 game by Kenya against New Zealand. To say simply, India thrashed a billion people's expectations.
India did not have Yuvi on its side who always came to India's rescue in T20 at the time of need. Nevertheless, dhoni also proved ineffective with 9(27). Only Pathan scored 26(30) to help India get to that decent score.
Australians were off to a flier with the openers Gilli and Clarke. It was a one sided contest with no fight from the Indians in all departments of the game. Clarke, the stand-in captain set an example as he led Australia to their maiden victory in T20 game against India.
India - 74/10 (17.3 ov)
Australia - 75/1 (11.2 ov) |
