I'm terribly sad to report that Theo, the beloved cat of readers Laurie and Gethyn, passed away yesterday. Although I never met Theo, who lives with his staff in London, he's been featured on this site several times, most notably because he drank espresso coffee without cream or sugar (see here). I hoped to meet him if I went to London this year (a possibility), but now I won't, even though I was considered his Uncle Jerry.
Here's Laurie's memoriam for Theo, as posted on her Facebook page. It includes the first picture taken of Theo after he was adopted, and the very last picture taken with Gethyn, the day before Theo died. Laurie's words and pictures are posted with permission:
The first time I read these words, I was not grieving; however, I am now, and they are relevant.
"I seem to have lost a beautiful estate, — no more. I cannot get it nearer to me. If to-morrow I should be informed of the bankruptcy of my principal debtors, the loss of my property would be a great inconvenience to me, perhaps, for many years; but it would leave me as it found me, — neither better nor worse. So is it with this calamity: it does not touch me; something which I fancied was a part of me, which could not be torn away without tearing me nor enlarged without enriching me, falls off from me…"
Theo died in my arms yesterday, whilst I told him I love him. Our hearts and lives are utterly shattered. The first and last photos of our sweet boy 😿
Two of the photos I posted of Theo:

Today is a special day for me. Of course, today marks the birth of my first love and I am still smitten by him. But that has for the first time in so many years become secondary. Today is the last day of my life….. In my twenties. After today I will never be a 20's girl ever. Why? Well, tomorrow marks the beginning of a new era. I am turning 30 tomorrow or rather tonight when the needles of my wall clock will unite in joy marking the beginning of 9th July 2014. In their unison,20's will fade away and 30's will be standing by my bedside for me to open my eyes and welcome it with a piece of cake. I don't know why people make such a fuss about turning 30. And I certainly DO NOT believe in the "30 is the new 20" fad. In fact turning 30 can have its own rewards. I am glad no one will walk up to me and give me un-necessary gyaan about procreating before 30. And you have no clue how relieved it feels to know that. Or maybe you do.
Am I sad? No way. Am I sacred? Not at all. I am rather excited, thrilled, and eager to know what my life holds for me, now. I recall clearly how excited I was on my 20th birthday. I was no more a teenager, which by all means meant that my parents would take me seriously, I would have a say in many decisions, and so many other civil liberties. But nobody told me that life will get tougher, that I will falter on many occasions, that I will meet wrong people, that I will trust cheats, that I will make wrong choices, etc etc. But then all of this also meant that I will sail through all this, that I will dust myself and get up, that I will rise to the occasion, that I will learn the importance of family and true friends, that I will discover the real me, away from the qualm and quacks of the deceiving world, that ultimately I will meet the right people, and that ultimately I will learn to differentiate right from wrong. Last one decade has been eventful. Life changed quite a bit. I was done with my degrees, started working, welcomed my darling little niece, fell in love and married R, Dad retired from his professional life, and my little brother completed his masters with flying colors and is now settled in a job, he thoroughly enjoys. I also moved base from Mumbai to another beautiful city, made some deep friendships, and came closer to God.
You see, while I was in my early twenties, I made desperate attempts to get myself accepted. Agree or not, we all do this. I looked around for approval from people. I felt sad when people did not accept me the way I was. So I made more attempts and camouflaged myself beneath the unruly opinions of other. And then came a point when I decided to say "FO" and as I slowly moved to my late twenties, I became clearer. Today, I know exactly what I want from life. I am no more deceived by the glitz and glamour of the world Now, I no longer require someone to approve of my dress, or my choices, or my opinions, or my looks, or anything for that matter. I wear what I like; I do what I want, what makes me happy. I certainly seek advice from my loved ones every now and then and I am so blessed that they are with me to guide and enlighten me, always. I have started counting my blessings more often. May be I have become wiser. May be, just may be and this is exactly why I am not scared of aging. Age brings wisdom. It certainly does.
So as I close a chapter, I am excited about this new one that I am about to begin. Are you sailing in the same boat as mine? Wish you loads and loads of luck and love. Let us cheer loudly and say, "Bring it on 30. I am ready for this adventure." And if anyone makes a fuss about it, just turn to them and say, I am now an improved and updated version of myself."
Meanwhile, I want to wish a very happy birthday to one of the best Captains, Indian Cricket Team has ever seen - Sourav Ganguly aka Dada. You were, are, and will always be my most favorite cricketer and my first love.

As I look back on the past year it is impossible to deny the work of God in my life and how I rely on God through prayer. Prayer has been an important part of my life, from the rote prayers I learned as a little girl to the conversations that I have with God now. My prayer life is a big part of what keeps me connected to God.
Now don't get me wrong. I have experienced times in my life when I haven't been so sure that God was doing anything with those prayers. But as I look back at those periods of difficulty, I realize that God was at work in ways I would have never considered at the time. Such an instance would be the friend who arrived just at the right time to listen to me when I could not carry a particular burden alone any longer, a circumstance that changed the course of a career and made family life so much better. I believe those things that we sometimes chalk up to happenstance are not coincidental. I look on them as my God moments. Each one comes as a gift and a glimpse into the future of what life is going to be like when we are fully and finally home with God. That is my hope.
Today's reading does not promise a life free from hardship or pain just because we are followers of Jesus. However Jesus tells us that, if we ask in his name, we will receive and our joy will be complete. It does not say our every wish will be granted, but our joy will be complete when God's promise is fully realized in the second coming of Jesus. God hears and answers our prayers. I am convinced of this. He may not answer them the way we want or when we want, but Christ promises us that God does and will answer. If God can raise his Son from the dead, then in him all things are possible when we believe.
My resolution this year is to involve God in all aspects of my life and ask that his will be done. In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray, Lord, that you help me remember to spend time with you each day and begin each day asking that your will be done, not mine. Peace and God's grace to all you in the New Year.

Remember Katherine Webb—former girlfriend of Tide QB AJ McCarron and the apple of ol' Brent Musberger's eye? Well, she's AJ's wife now and AJ is a Buffalo Bill, grinding away in Orchard Park as the presumed week 1 starter, provided Josh Allen doesn't go and throw a football over those mountains or something. We only bring this up, because A. good for you, kids B. she's been killing it on Insta over the course of the past week, covering every nook and cranny of Bills training camp with the help of her all-access WAG credential. Check it out:
RELATED: These two Buffalo Bills fans might actually be dead
Pretty "aww"-worthy stuff if you ask us. Plus the couple have a new mini McCarron on the way, which is exciting news for everyone except all three Bills fans who somehow expect the Bills to be in playoff contention and McCarron to still be starting come that December due date.
Oh, and if you're wondering how Mrs. Webb-McCarron is doing away from the field, by the looks of things, just fine, indeed. Brent, I hope you remembered to take your Plavix today:

For partners that provide implementation or managed services around Oracle Cloud Applications
That's great Sebastiaan thank you. I also use this formula with sysdate and incidents.created date to see the current open time of an incident. Can this be adjusted for that purpose as well? That's where I seemed to hit a snag with this formula. By using sysdate and incidents.created date the open time for specific incidents from the previous year were exponentially higher. It appears now it's corrected itself since it is now looking back to weeks of the same year, however for those incidents prior I'd like to see if an adjustment could be made.
It's also worth mentioning I've attempted to use the relative date difference for this to get incident open time, however our SLA's are setup for 11 hour periods and cannot be changed. We'd like it to be 24 hours, but can't seem to find a solution. Thanks again for your help.
I apologize for necro-ing this post, but it's the most helpful formula I've used. I'm running into issues since the new year began - the first week of the year is showing incidents starting at 100+ days old. Is there an adjustment that can be made in this formula? Thank you.
Hi Anuj
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it appears to filter out any ticket that has not been solved yet. The ones that do appear were solved at one point, but have been reopened. I've attached my report definition for clarity. Thank you.
Thanks Bastiaan, worked like a charm!

We know you have a lot of great questions, and we hope these answers will help some.
Where is Cinderella Wedding Co. located? Cinderella Wedding Co.'s address is 1806 Madison St., Chattanooga TN, 37408 in downtown Chattanooga.
What is the turn around time for photos? For Engagement or Bridal portraits, typical turnaround time is 10 business days from the day of the shoot. For weddings, turnaround time is 8 weeks from the wedding day. On request, we can provide a sampling of the best images from the wedding day 2 weeks after.
Does Cinderella Wedding Photography travel for weddings? Yes! Cinderella Wedding Photography Company has done weddings all over the South, and some in the Northeast. The farthest they've gone is Dublin, Ireland. To travel, Cinderella usually charges $55 for each hour of total driving, or for the cost of plane tickets. In addition, there's a travel fee to help cover meals and other travel expenses. The travel fee is a case by case price. Just contact us for more info.
In Tennessee, does Joseph usually shoot with someone else? Before starting Cinderella Wedding Co., Joseph started his first photography business in 2006 (http://www.josephelliott.net), and has been doing photography at weddings for over 15 years. Joseph is the primary photographer, while other photographers will accompany him as an assistant/second shooter on wedding days. The second shooter does a lot of the behind-the-scenes work like building photobooks and editing, and capturing details on the wedding day. Because Joseph is the primary photographer, he will do all the engagements and bridal portraits by himself. All the engagements and bridal portraits featured on the website were taken by Joseph.
How much is the deposit to book Cinderella Wedding Photography? We let you decide the amount for a deposit. As long as it's larger than $500, it can be any amount to book us. Also, custom payment plans are available to fit your budget. So just let us know how we can better customize our pricing to fit your needs.
What is the RAW video footage included in addition to the highlight video? RAW means completely unedited and untouched. It's all of the clips that were captured on the wedding day, back to back to back, and provided on a Vimeo link. Most videographers don't provide this because it can be so rough looking. We provide it to clients in case they would like to use it in the future - maybe a new wedding video or an anniversary video down the road.

Once the weather turns consistently cold, I crave carbs. Especially this year, since we found out in October that Luke has a raging sensitivity to wheat flour - so our homemade pizza parties aren't quite as much family fun. Sigh.
I've had a very specific craving for the last two weeks, so decided to finally indulge. Anyone else participate in those reading programs in elementary school or at the public library where the prize was a personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut? For whatever reason, my body wanted one BAD!! Of course, I knew the size of a personal pan pizza wouldn't cut it - so I was very pleased to see that you can order any size pizza with the pan pizza crust. Oh man oh man oh man!! People, I make a delicious homemade pizza, but sometimes you gotta cater to those childhood food memories. And wow, that was a good pizza - I tore through a medium one for lunch, trying to be fair in giving the kids their own slices. But it was bliss! And exactly like I remembered! Thank you Pizza Hut, and you can bet I'll be back when the next craving strikes!

OERU represents education's efforts to open one of the closed systems in human culture. There are other closed systems being opened – the closed political systems in several countries for example. I hope we look at the broader context of our efforts, and see we are part of a huge shift in human evolution. Even the Global aspect to this OERU represents the shift from the closed system of nationalism. The importance of having such a perspective is that we can upon how others are working in 'open' efforts. We are not an isolated effort, but part of a comprehensive change.

Our work finds the fine grained edits in context of neighbouring tokens in Wikipedia articles. We cluster those edits according to similar neighbouring context. We encode neighbouring context into vector space using word vectors. We evaluate clusters returned by our algorithm on extrinsic and intrinsic metric and compare it with previous work. We analyse the relation between extrinsic and intrinsic measurements of fine grained edit tokens.
Most social media platforms allow users to freely express their opinions, feelings, and beliefs. However, in recent years the growing propagation of hate speech, offensive language, racism and sexism on the social media outlets have drawn attention from individuals, companies, and researchers. Today, sexism both online and offline with different forms, including blatant, covert, and subtle lan- guage, is a common phenomenon in society. A notable amount of work has been done over identifying sexist content and computationally detecting sexism which exists online. Although previous efforts have mostly used peoples' activities on social media platforms such as Twitter as a public and helpful source for collecting data, they neglect the fact that the method of gathering sexist tweets could be biased towards the initial search terms. Moreover, some forms of sexism could be missed since some tweets which contain offensive language could be misclassified as hate speech. Further, in existing hate speech corpora, sexist tweets mostly express hostile sexism, and to some degree, the other forms of sexism which also appear online was disregarded. Besides, the creation of labeled datasets with manual exertion, relying on users to report offensive comments with a tremendous effort by human annotators is not only a costly and time-consuming process, but it also raises the risk of involving discrimination under biased judgment. This thesis generates a novel sexist and non-sexist dataset which is constructed via "UnSexistifyIt", an online web-based game that incentivizes the players to make minimal modifications to a sexist statement with the goal of turning it into a non-sexist statement and convincing other players that the modified statement is non-sexist. The game applies the methodology of "Game With A Purpose" to generate data as a side-effect of playing the game and also employs the gamification and crowdsourcing techniques to enhance non-game contexts. When voluntary participants play the game, they help to produce non-sexist statements which can reduce the cost of generating new corpus. This work explores how diverse individual beliefs concerning sexism are. Further, the result of this work highlights the impact of various linguistic features and content attributes regarding sexist language detection. Finally, this thesis could help to expand our understanding regarding the syntactic and semantic structure of sexist and non-sexist content and also provides insights to build a probabilistic classifier for single sentences into sexist or non-sexist classes and lastly find a potential ground truth for such a classifier.
Data visualization is an effective way to explore data. It helps people to get a valuable insight of the data by placing it in a visual context. However, choosing a good chart without prior knowledge in the area is not a trivial job. Users have to manually explore all possible visualizations and decide upon ones that reflect relevant and desired trend in the data, are insightful and easy to decode, have a clear focus and appealing appearance. To address these challenges we developed a Tool for Automatic Generation of Good viSualizations using Scoring (TAG²S²). The approach tackles the problem of identifying an appropriate metric for judging visualizations as good or bad. It consists of two modules: visualization detection: given a data-set it creates a list of combination of data attributes for scoring and visualization ranking: scores each chart and decides which ones are good or bad. For the later, an utility metric of ten criteria was developed and each visualization detected in the first module is evaluated on these criteria. Only those visualizations that received enough scores are then presented to the user. Additionally to these data parameters, the tool considers user perception regarding the choice of visual encoding when selecting a visualization. To evaluate the utility of the metric and the importance of each criteria, test cases were developed, executed and the results presented.
Commonsense reasoning can be seen as a process of identifying dependencies amongst events and actions. Understanding the circumstances surrounding these events requires background knowledge with sufficient breadth to cover a wide variety of domains. In the recent decades, there has been a lot of work in extracting commonsense knowledge, a number of these projects provide their collected data as semantic networks such as ConceptNet and CausalNet. In this thesis, we attempt to undertake the Choice Of Plausible Alternatives (COPA) challenge, a problem set with 1000 questions written in multiple-choice format with a premise and two alternative choices for each question. Our approach differs from previous work by using shortest paths between concepts in a causal graph with the edge weight as causality metric. We use CausalNet as primary network and implement a few design choices to explore the strengths and drawbacks of this approach, and propose an extension using ConceptNet by leveraging its commonsense knowledge base.
Belief revision is the subarea of knowledge representation which studies the dynamics of epistemic states of an agent. In the classical AGM approach, contraction, as part of the belief revision, deals with the removal of beliefs in knowledge bases. This master's thesis presents the study and the implementation of concept contraction in the Description Logic EL. Concept contraction deals with the following situation. Given two concept C and D, assuming that C is subsumed by D, how can concept C be changed so that it is not subsumed by D anymore, but is as similar as possible to C? This approach of belief change is different from other related work because it deals with contraction in the level of concepts and not T-Boxes and A-Boxes in general. The main contribution of the thesis is the implementation of the concept contraction. The implementation provides insight into the complexity of contraction in EL, which is tractable since the main inference task in EL is also tractable. The implementation consists of the design of five algorithms that are necessary for concept contraction. The algorithms are described, illustrated with examples, and analyzed in terms of time complexity. Furthermore, we propose an new approach for a selection function, adapt for the concept contraction. The selection function uses metadata about the concepts in order to select the best from an input set. The metadata is modeled in a framework that we have designed, based on standard metadata frameworks. As an important part of the concept contraction, the selection function is responsible for selecting the best concepts that are as similar as possible to concept C. Lastly, we have successfully implemented the concept contraction in Python, and the results are promising.
Current political issues are often reflected in social media discussions, gathering politicians and voters on common platforms. As these can affect the public perception of politics, the inner dynamics and backgrounds of such debates are of great scientific interest. This thesis takes user generated messages from an up-to-date dataset of considerable relevance as Time Series, and applies a topic-based analysis of inspiration and agenda setting to it. The Institute for Web Science and Technologies of the University Koblenz-Landau has collected Twitter data generated beforehand by candidates of the European Parliament Election 2019. This work processes and analyzes the dataset for various properties, while focusing on the influence of politicians and media on online debates. An algorithm to cluster tweets into topical threads is introduced. Subsequently, Sequential Association Rules are mined, yielding wide array of potential influence relations between both actors and topics. The elaborated methodology can be configured with different parameters and is extensible in functionality and scope of application.
Topic models are a popular tool to extract concepts of large text corpora. These text corpora tend to contain hidden meta groups. The size relation of these groups is frequently imbalanced. Their presence is often ignored when applying a topic model. Therefore, this thesis explores the influence of such imbalanced corpora on topic models. The influence is tested by training LDA on samples with varying size relations. The samples are generated from data sets containing a large group differences i.e language difference and small group differences i.e. political orientation. The predictive performance on those imbalanced corpora is judged using perplexity. The experiments show that the presence of groups in training corpora can influence the prediction performance of LDA. The impact varies due to various factors, including language-specific perplexity scores. The group-related prediction performance changes for groups when varying the relative group sizes. The actual change varies between data sets. LDA is able to distinguish between different latent groups in document corpora if differences between groups are large enough, e.g. for groups with different languages. The proportion of group-specific topics is under-proportional to the share of the group in the corpus and relatively smaller for minorities.
The content aggregator platform Reddit has established itself as one of the most popular websites in the world. However, scientific research on Reddit is hindered as Reddit allows (and even encourages) user anonymity, i.e., user profiles do not contain personal information such as the gender. Inferring the gender of users in large-scale could enable the analysis of gender-specific areas of interest, reactions to events, and behavioral patterns. In this direction, this thesis suggests a machine learning approach of estimating the gender of Reddit users. By exploiting specific conventions in parts of the website, we obtain a ground truth for more than 190 million comments of labeled users. This data is then used to train machine learning classifiers to use them to gain insights about the gender balance of particular subreddits and the platform in general. By comparing a variety of different approaches for classification algorithm, we find that character-level convolutional neural network achieves performance with an 82.3% F1 score on a task of predicting a gender of a user based on his/her comments. The score surpasses 85% mark for frequent users with more than 50 comments. Furthermore, we discover that female users are less active on Reddit platform, they write fewer comments and post in fewer subreddits on average, when compared to male users.
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the sentiment distributions of Wikipedia concepts. We analyse the sentiment of the entire English Wikipedia corpus, which includes 5,669,867 articles and 1,906,375 talks, by using a lexicon-based method with four different lexicons. Also, we explore the sentiment distributions from a time perspective using the sentiment scores obtained from our selected corpus. The results obtained have been compared not only between articles and talks but also among four lexicons: OL, MPQA, LIWC, and ANEW. Our findings show that among the four lexicons, MPQA has the highest sensitivity and ANEW has the lowest sensitivity to emotional expressions. Wikipedia articles show more sentiments than talks according to OL, MPQA, and LIWC, whereas Wikipedia talks show more sentiments than articles according to ANEW. Besides, the sentiment has a trend regarding time series, and each lexicon has its own bias regarding text describing different things. Moreover, our research provides three interactive widgets for visualising sentiment distributions for Wikipedia concepts regarding the time and geolocation attributes of concepts.
Navigation is a natural way to explore and discover content in a digital environment. Hence, providers of online information systems such as Wikipedia---a free online encyclopedia---are interested in providing navigational support to their users. To this end, an essential task approached in this thesis is the analysis and modeling of navigational user behavior in information networks with the goal of paving the way for the improvement and maintenance of web-based systems. Using large-scale log data from Wikipedia, this thesis first studies information access by contrasting search and navigation as the two main information access paradigms on the Web. Second, this thesis validates and builds upon existing navigational hypotheses to introduce an adaptation of the well-known PageRank algorithm. This adaptation is an improvement of the standard PageRank random surfer navigation model that results in a more "reasonable surfer" by accounting for the visual position of links, the information network regions they lead to, and the textual similarity between the link source and target articles. Finally, using agent-based simulations, this thesis compares user models that have a different knowledge of the network topology in order to investigate the amount and type of network topological information needed for efficient navigation. An evaluation of agents' success on four different networks reveals that in order to navigate efficiently, users require only a small amount of high-quality knowledge of the network topology. Aside from the direct benefits to content ranking provided by the "reasonable surfer" version of PageRank, the empirical insights presented in this thesis may also have an impact on system design decisions and Wikipedia editor guidelines, i.e., for link placement and webpage layout.

Crew Boss (Ex)
When working with other robots, an octopod mechanic drone can coordinate the group's efforts to maximize efficiency. All other robots with 30 feet of an octopod mechanic drone gain a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls and skill checks.
Integrated Laser Pistols (Ex)
An octopod mechanic drone has two integrated laser pistols with a range increment of 50 feet.
Mass Repair (Ex)
An octopod mechanic drone can use its tentacles to repair multiple robots at one time. As a full-round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, an octopod mechanic drone can restore 3d10 hit points to itself and each allied robot within 10 feet of it.
Mechanical Expertise (Ex)
An octopod mechanic drone is programmed with deep knowledge of machinery.
The octopod mechanic drone is considered trained in all skills used against a technology-based subject.
Reboot System (Ex)
An octopod mechanic drone can reboot a robot's system, whether its own or an ally's. As a standard action, an octopod mechanic drone can remove all of the following conditions from either itself or a robot within 10 feet of it: blinded, confused, dazzled, deafened, shaken, sickened, and staggered.
Repair Station (Ex)
As a full-round action, an octopod mechanic drone can anchor its body to the ground, freeing its robotic tentacles to focus on attacking and repairing rather than supporting itself. While it is anchored, it loses its Dexterity bonus and dodge bonus to AC, it cannot move, and it gains a +8 enhancement bonus to CMD against bull rush, drag, and reposition combat maneuvers. An anchored octopod mechanic drone doubles the number of hit points it restores using its mass repair ability, and it gains a +2 enhancement bonus on damage rolls with its slam attacks. Unanchoring itself from the ground is a full-round action.
Environment any
Organization solitary or pair
Treasure none
Octopod mechanic drones are the ultimate in repair-robot technology. These multi-limbed robots can manipulate each of their metal tentacles with extreme precision, allowing them to perform delicate fixes and repair many machines at once. Octopod mechanic drones also have the ability to anchor themselves to the ground, allowing them to commit their tentacles entirely to repair rather than having to use them for support.
Owners of octopod mechanic drones often rely on the robots to manage the rest of their mechanical workers; the robots communicate more loudly and directly than others of their kind, making them natural leaders, and they have a distinct ability to coordinate the group for maximum efficiency.
An octopod mechanic drone is about 6 feet tall, with tentacles roughly 10 feet long, and weighs approximately 750 pounds.

The Senate of Arizona has simply run down a invoice that might make cryptocurrency bills for taxes to be had with 13 votes towards, 16 in, and one abstaining.
"A taxpayer may pay their income tax liability using a payment gateway such as bitcoin, litecoin or any other cryptocurrency recognized by the department, using electronic peer to peer systems," the invoice says ahead of additional including:
"The department shall convert cryptocurrency payments to United States dollars at the prevailing rate after receipt and shall credit the taxpayer's account with the converted dollar amount actually received less any fees or costs incurred by the department for conversion."
If all is going neatly [meaning that the final round – The House accepts the bill to become law] Arizona would be the first to claim such law within the western facet of the globe.
"It's one of a litany of bills that we're running that is sending a signal to everyone in the United States, and possibly throughout the world, that Arizona is going to be the place to be for block chain and digital currency technology in the future," Arizona State Rep. Jeff Weninger mentioned.
That isn't all. The state has some other procedure at the method, which might stage up blockchain belongings from commodity to currencies, which might conceivable over-rule IRS's interpretation.
If the improvement continues as deliberate, there's a prime exchange that double taxation may well be taken down for digital currencies mentioning them [similar to Japan] as prison soft.
Another competitor could be Tennessee has its lawmakers are getting ready to make a legislation proposal wherein blockchain signatures and good contracts would obtain the similar prison top as conventional strategies:
"Tennessee is ready for blockchain," Rep. Pat Marsh of Arizona mentioned at a listening to at the invoice. "We are open for business," he added.
It is obvious aggressive surroundings has been created as billions in funding attainable is being spotted by way of the states in relation to crypto-market-cap.
That's on most sensible of world jurisdictional festival between country states, with Britain seeing a chance in 2014 and Japan now seeing a chance to embody the blockchain house.
This race would possibly come to a head on the proposed crypto G20 summit when other pursuits play what may well be the best strategic sport of this century in deciding simply how they place themselves.

New Delhi [India], Jan. 17 (ANI): Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Ahir on Wednesday warned Pakistan government to take action on Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed otherwise India would have to do the same.
Ahir's statement comes hours after Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that there was no case registered against Saeed in Islamabad and without it, an action cannot be initiated.
"We will not decide our nation's strategy on basis of what Pakistan says. We consider Hafiz Saeed a terrorist. It will be good if Pakistan government takes action but even if they do not, we will," Ahir told ANI.
Abbasi, in an interview given to Geo TV, said, "Action is taken when there is a case registered [against someone]."
In November last year, Abbasi claimed that India has provided "no evidence" against Saeed on the basis of which he can be prosecuted.
"The court, a three-judge bench, has released him (Saeed) saying there are no charges against him, the country has a law you know," said Abbasi.
The Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief is also looking to contest the 2018 general elections in Pakistan and has, thereby, formed a party by the name of Milli Muslim League (MML).
Pakistan has recently prohibited Saeed's JuD and Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) from collecting donations.
Saeed, who is a UN-designated international terrorist, was released from house arrest in November after a Pakistani court cited lack of evidence against him in the 26/11 Mumbai attack case.
India has, time and again, protested against Pakistan for harbouring Saeed, who is wanted for plotting the Mumbai attacks, wherein 166 people died in November 2008. (ANI)

By Christopher Hitchens
"When I wrote a recent call for the commutation of the death sentence against Tariq Aziz, I was privately hoping that the president of Iraq would intervene, as he has done before, to say that he would decline to sign his name to the death warrant."

|Slavs and Slavic Languages
Original Slavic Languge
The Slovak language is the most similar to the original Slavic language. If you know Slovak language, you can easier learn all other Slavic languages, than from any other of them, because the language has a central position among these languages. Current Slovakia with eastern Czechia (called Moravia) is also the region (Great Slovakia - later called Great Moravia) where the first version of Cyrillic alphabet (called Glagolithic) was developed.
That is why this site will try to provide as much information about the Slovak language as possible.
Russian in Latin Alphabet
This site will also present the most suitable transcription for the Cyrillic alphabet, and some alternative transcriptions.

Emergency personnel were kept busy this morning with two separate vehicle accidents that occurred within several minutes of each other. The first accident, reported just before 6:30 a.m., occurred near the intersection of North Third and Avenue G. A 2005 Toyota Camry LE traveling southeast on North Third crossed the center line and hit a parked Mini Cooper head-on, pushing it into another parked Mini Cooper. The impact pushed both parked cars partially onto the sidewalk.
A second accident was reported just after 6:30 a.m., in which a white Volkswagen Jetta TDI traveling east on Route 30, just beyond the Route 441 overpass, broke through the end of a guard rail near the Columbia exit. The vehicle then slid down an embankment and came to rest on its side near the Columbia Visitors Center parking lot. The occupant, who was initially trapped, was freed from the vehicle and found to be uninjured.

The life expectancy of wooden siding is lowered with exposure to moisture, so common painting or staining is required upkeep for longevity.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-- A dispute is brewing again over funding for the St. Louis City Fire Department pension. The Firefighters Union is airing a commercial charging Mayor Francis Slay wants the power to "raid" the pension fund.
Slay's chief of staff calls the commercial a "scare tactic." Union president Chris Molitor denies that. He said Wednesday the ad merely points out what the mayor is trying to do by working to modify the pension system.
Members of the Board of Aldermen's Ways and Means Committee voted to cut $4.2 million from pension funding for the upcoming budget year Wednesday. The funds would be made up according to Committee Chair Alderwoman Lyda Krewson if one of two Board Bills is passed next month.
Mayor Slay's Chief of Staff Jeff Rainford said the changes would not impact current retirees, "It makes very minor changes for active firefighters, but does make major changes to prevent disability abuse and fraud and then makes major changes for new hires."
He called it "a common sense plan it's not nearly as tough as what is being done and will have to be done in other places."
The TV commercial concludes with a statement from the widow of a firefighter killed in the line of duty. She says on camera, "I could not imagine our life without our pensions. What the Mayor is trying to do is horrible."
Firefighters object to a city demand that they leave their pension contributions in the pension fund when they retire. Firefighters have been able to cash in those contributions and remove them from the pension fund. Rainford said pension fund earnings have not met expectations of pension trustees during the market downtown. Additional benefits approved in past years are not being funded and that has forced the city taxpayers to add more tax dollars to keep the pension fund afloat.
Both sides offer changes to a pension program for newly hired firefighters, but the two sides have not reached an agreement.
The full Board of Aldermen will vote on the budget next month after it is reviewed by the Mayor, Comptroller and President of the Board of Aldermen who sit on the Board of Estimate and Apportionment.

A total of 9,459 challans were issued between January 1 and 7 in 2015, while around 9,433 challans were issued this year in the first seven days. No challans were issued on January 3 as the traffic department distribute flowers to those who didn't follow traffic rules as part of road safety month.
Sources said with the dip in number of vehicles on road, traffic officials hoped clearer roads would lead to less number of people flouting traffic rules. "Fewer cars have not changed people's approach.
On clearer roads, they drive faster, on wrong side and jump traffic signals," said Hemant Kapani, a road safety officer. "We have challaned people for drunk driving, not wearing seat belt, jumping signals and speeding. We have increased the vigilance, and are assuming that to be the reason for the high number of challans," said ACP (Traffic) Sumer Pratap Singh.
