SHIKARPUR: In order to crush the criminals the district police have started the battle against outlaws' involved in-creating lawlessness in district Shikarpur after getting free hand from the sindh government in this regard.
On the other hand the criminals have formulated their network to fight police at every stage while continuing their criminal activities including road robberies, kidnapping for ransom and other heinous offences.
The district police under the supervision of SSP Shikarpur Javeed Jiskani have started police operations and managing raids on the hideouts of the outlaws in the district. While the outlaws have started their efforts to commit crimes on roads and in other urban and rural areas for creating unrest for the people and difficulties for police in order to constrain the police force to be failed in all actions being taking against the outlaws in the district.
As a result of police operations district police Shikarpur were succeeded to overcoming the growing adverse situation of law and order in the district at some extent. But inspite of that the incidents of kidnapping, road robberies and motorcycles snatching are being increased.
Following the fresh police raid and operation against the criminals, three notorious dacoits identified as Ghulam Nabi Rahojo,Bhaoo Lund and Ayoub Marfani were killed by police during the encounter took place between the dacoits and police when the dacoits were trying to loot the passengers of the vehicles coming from both the sides on Shikarpur-Sukkur National high way road near Soomra Waahi within the jurisdiction of Sultankot Police Station on Sunday in early hours.
While according to police, about dozen of dacoits / outlaws were killed and many of the kidnappees were recovered through encountering with outlaws so for within two months after the newly posted SSP Shikarpur Javeed Jiskani assumed his office.
Where as on the other side the district president of Pakistan Muslim league Nawaz (PML-N) Dewan Bol Chand was deprived of his Motorcycle , cash and mobile phone set by the unidentified armed outlaws in city area of Shikarpur when he was on his way to his factory from the home in morning time on Saturday.
However the people of the district were not seemed satisfied from the police efforts to ensure the peace and calm including the provision of legal protection of life, property and honour to the citizens in the district.

Anxiety and stress can make us do some pretty weird things. Case in point: nibbling off the ends of your fingernails. Do they taste good? Nope. You hungry? Negative. Plus your hands look like they've been chewed on by a dog. Which is why knowing how to stop biting your nails should be top of your to-do list.
A study by the Université de Montréal revealed those who get peckish for polish are more likely to be perfectionists than their peers with perfect manicures. So what makes them more likely to chow down on their cuticles? Study author Dr Kieron O'Connor suggests that repetitive behaviours ease frustration, impatience, and dissatisfaction especially when your boss nags and you feel stressed at work.
Simply put, if you're unable to relax and perform tasks at your own pace or reach the unachievable goals you set yourself nibbling on your nails calms your cortisol levels.
We asked the top nail experts in the business their tips on keeping your cuticles out of your mouth and growing your strongest, longest nail ever:
Q. First things first: how do I stop biting my nails when I don't even realise I'm chewing?
A. 'Biting nails can be a difficult habit to break,' says Daniella Cartwright, nail technician and Jessica educator. 'You want to draw your attention to your habit and a good – albeit unpleasant – method is to make your nails taste gross with a bitter nail varnish.' Reapply every day on top of your basecoat to top up the shine and disgusting (sorry) taste. The silver lining? Jessica's Nibble No More (£15.95, feelunique.com) also stimulates growth so you'll see habit mixing progress sooner to break the cycle.
Jessica's Nibble No More (£15.95, feelunique.com)
Q. Even if I'm nil by mouth and my poor nails get a chance to grow they're so weak they crumble or snap – is there anything I can do to give them a boost?
A. 'Most people think painting their nails a pretty colour will stop them biting,' says Margaret Dabbs, nail expert and Founder of Margaret Dabbs London. 'While psychologically they have a point, the fact is that nail polish often contains harsh chemicals that can damage nails and cause dehydration, brittleness, discolouration and weakness.' The good news is that in the same way you'd infuse your skin with active ingredients with a serum, choosing a polish that's good for your nails like Margaret Dabbs London Nail Polishes (£14, margaretdabbs.co.uk) can make a difference to their health. 'Vitamin E helps rehydrate dry cuticles and brittle nails while wild worse protects the nail and reduces inflammation. '
Margaret Dabbs London Nail Polish in Bluebell, £14, margaretdabbs.co.uk
Q. I've never had long nails before so want to keep the growth under control without biting – how do I do it?
A. Filing is the best way to keep long nails looking tidy but, just like GCSE coursework, the file your choose (Snoopy for geography and Monsters Inc for English Lit, is important). 'Use a soft file with a higher grit (320 grit) to minimise damage,' says Cartwright. 'It's less abrasive and more gentle for soft, damaged and bitten nails.'
Gerrad International 320 grit for soft nails emery board (£2.40, gerrardinternational.com)
Q. Drop the truth bomb on me: how long will it take for my nails to grow?
A. 'Annoyingly this varies from person to person so it's hard to be exact,' says Dabbs, 'But it usually takes around four months for the nails on the hands to grow back stronger as opposed to nine months for your toenails – just be grateful you aren't that flexible.'
All great advice but does it work in real life? Over 10-days I followed this beauty manifesto to nail my bad habits once and for all.
Okay: I'm doing it. I went to the Selfridges for a manicure to start my life with long nails as I mean to go on. I chose a bright and beautiful polish so it catches my eye whenever my hand drifts towards my mouth – that should stop my wily ways.
Chipped a nail doing a deadlift. Feeling smug but the nail spell is broken – this is a test. I remove all the varnish asap using Nails inc Express Nail Polish Remover Pot with Collagen (£8, nailsinc.com) and realise I have white tips – this is not a drill! Roughly painting my nails every six months means my skillz are somewhat lacking so I go for Nails inc Nail Make Up Harley Gardens - Correct, Conceal & Heal (£15, nailsinc.com). It has a built-in base and top coat and a colour that won't show up scuffs.
I fake tan and my nails joined in. The yellowing smoker's-paw look is screaming 'bite me off and start again'. I don't give in. Instead, I go to the chemist and buy some denture whitening tablets. Not because I'm taking my teeth out to remove temptation but because I want to remove the staining. It works I do a dance.
My nails are now longer than they've been in years and it makes me hands look slimmer and more polished (excuse the pun). Learning to file hasn't been easy because my only reference is Frenchie from Grease. The trick? Angle it slightly under the nail then do an arc from the outer corner to the middle. Repeat on the other side. NEVER go both directions on the same bit #thingsIhavelearned
Now you've nailed this beauty trick master how to fake tan like a pro and what the best sun lotion for your face is – summer is coming!

It's very easy for me to assume that everyone knows exactly how the process of gathering these audio files – via the Echovox software – actually works.
I tend to find that some of my previous articles are easily digested by current researchers – and explorers of the paranormal genre – yet forgetting the grass-roots of paranormal experiences, which actually comes from the public at large.
I mean, it's very easy for people to listen to the captures and think WOW, but some may have doubts about authenticity of these files, and may be rather confused about the 'how' of such.

Religious antiques stolen from Wayne synagogue
WAYNE TOWNSHIP – Two silver breastplates and a silver pointer used during services were stolen from the Chabad Center earlier this week, police said.
Rabbi Michael I. Gurkow told police that the antique items were taken from a cabinet in the Ratzer Road sanctuary sometime between Sept. 10 and Sept. 12, authorities said.
The pointer used to read the Torah and the breastplates that cover the Torah are valued at between $5,000 and $6,000, police said.

The Archbold Speedup Board
The TRS‑80 Model I ran at a speed of 1.77 MHz. That speed was quite fast for a microcomputer at the time, but almost immediately people began designing speedup boards to increase it. The most famous of those speedup boards was the Archbold Speedup Board, designed by Bill Archbold and sold by Archbold Electronics.
The Archbold Speedup Board itself was a fairly small board (1.5" by 2.5").

The fact that bicyclists have none of the protection vehicle drivers have makes them extremely vulnerable on British Columbia roads. Even with wearing helmets, victims of bicycle accidents can suffer catastrophic or even fatal injuries when struck by cars. Distracted or impaired vehicle operators cause a significant percentage of recorded bike accidents every year.
Increased car accident costs and rates concerning for ICBC
According to recent statistics from ICBC, car accident rates in British Columbia are at an all time high. The numbers have prompted the release of an online tool, the Drive Smart Refresher Test, aimed at helping people refresh their knowledge of car safety and avoid a car accident themselves. This free quiz highlights the bad driving habits and potentially outdated knowledge, an issue ICBC points to when discussing the increase of collisions in British Columbia.
Keeping pets loose in vehicle can increase car accident risk
Whether it's an occasional trip to the vet or a daily drive together, most people travel with their pets in the car from time to time. However, many do not take the correct precautions to avoid a car accident when travelling with an animal. According to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), a safety device is critical to secure pets can prevent distractions and save the pet in case of a collision.
Are you a Canada Day drunk driving accident victim?
The arrival of summer, along with the Canada Day long weekend likely brought celebratory moods to many people in British Columbia. Because this typically goes along with alcohol use, the police teamed up with ICBC ahead of the weekend to enhance enforcement of campaigns like CounterAttack that aim to limit impaired driving. Every impaired driver that is stopped can prevent someone from being a car accident victim -- making the efforts of law enforcement worth their while.

Whether it's a short little break or a week or so you can find some great deals here on the blog.

Picture in your mind long winding streets lined with the most amazing restaurants lit up with a warm glow and you cannot decide which place to go to first. This is what awaits you when you visit this historic city. There are plenty of great value deals on the blog for city breaks to Paris. During winter another great aspect of the city is the fantastically charming Christmas markets. These markets are some of best in Europe and they will have you falling in love all over again!
Budapest is gorgeous in winter! The view across the Danube of a snow-covered city is simply enchanting. When it gets too cold exploring the streets of Budapest, take shelter in the many cosy pubs or tea houses and warm up again. Of course the best way to warm up is visiting one of the great baths in the city. There is nothing better than this rejuvenated feeling of a good spa session in a crisp winter. A fun activity is also taking a "spin" on the ice rink or if you're not so much a sporty person but are more the foodie-type, there are two food festivals taking place in winter, the fish festival, as well as the Mangalica Festival. Check them out
Of course nothing beats the panorama of a snowy Charles Bridges leading its way to the Old Town. It's simply magical. Apart from the Christmas Market in December you will also see many nativity scenes in the street. This adds to the special Christmas ambient. Winter is also a great time to take in the wide offer of concerts and theatre plays taking place, so you could think about booking tickets in advance.
Why is London great in Winter? Well of course there is WinterWonderland in Hype Park, but we all know how very crowded and pricey this fair is… I would actually recommend you to take an actual walk in the parks. Hopefully they are snow-covered, then they look specifically magical. The Wintertime Festival at London's South Bank is open to anyone, so why not go for an evening stroll there and treat yourself to some sweets and mulled wine. I can also recommend the ice rink at the Natural History Museum. It's super cosy!
Christmas Markets
Of course the cherry on top of every Winter break is a visit to the Christmas Market. Europe has some great ones on offer and I have to agree those trips are my favourite ones! The most authentic ones can be found in all major German and Austrian cities, however, the old towns of Budapest, Prague, Krakow or Copenhagen have a lot to offer as well! The eastern cities are generally cheaper to book a city break for. Check out my Christmas Markets offers in Europe to be sure not to miss any deal. I made sure the Christmas markets are on for the travel period, so all you need to do is book :)

It's a remarkable investment and return for a few bingo cards
St John's, (PRWEB) December 27, 2005
For a second time in a row Bingo Sky awards US$10,000 in a single bingo game. On Thursday December 22nd and just in time for the Christmas Holidays, 'gopuggo' from Texas hit the jackpot at the Luxor Bingo Room; and this time was laden with a big prize that is going to make a sizeable difference in the bank balance of this lucky player after the season is over.
"It's a remarkable investment and return for a few bingo cards" says Jay Perreault, Marketing Director of BingoSky "and this is not adding the nerve-wrecking excitement during that game, which is just priceless".
BingoSky has made a name for itself in the fiercely competitive gaming niche of online bingo since it opened its gates just one year ago.
"With monthly cash prizes in excess of two (2) million dollars awarded every month, and a climbing playership registry of over 100,000 members, the bingo site can only be depicted as a resounding success" states Perreault, who claims that the added value of generous bonuses, loyalty points, fair payout policies and plain honesty are setting BingoSky a notch above what is becoming almost standard in deceptive advertising throughout the online gaming industry.
"When we promote a guaranteed game, it means it is guaranteed in 75 calls" argues Jay Perreault "unlike many of our competitors out there, who deceivingly promote their *guaranteed* games which turn out to be hollow claims since the prize has to be won within a range of bingo calls and as a rule, those are impossibly low calls".
BingoSky will continue to expand its offer in the immediate future with an array of new games and bingo variations that will set the site apart from the other players in the field. "2006 will be a bumper bingo year; our high quality bingo rooms will be increasing in number, choice and game offer" adds Perreault "we are fast developing bingo game permutations that will provide the true bingo enthusiasts with an offer nowhere to be found online".
BingoSky extends its gaming offer to multi-bingo games, slots, video poker and free bingo.

A double boiler makes this work much better. Don't have one? Use a 4 qt saucepan with boiling water, and a metal bowl that fits on top.
Blend together
1 can condensed milk
1 stick softened butter
1 1/2 C powdered sugar
8 oz package of coconut
4 Cups finely chopped pecans
chill for two or three hours.
Form into balls about the size of walnuts, chill again.
I rolled these a little big. There were 58 of them.
Meanwhile, in double boiler melt 2 packages semi-sweet chocolate chips. Also melt about 1/2 slab of paraffin.
This is 12 oz of chocolate chips, 1/2 slab of paraffin, and a 1 oz chunk of almond bark. We will tip the boiler and dip in the deep end to completely coat our candies.
When all is melted, using a toothpick or other suitable tool, dip bonbons into chocolate and place on non-stick cookie sheet to cool. Keep refrigerated. I used a half sheet with wax paper. My notes on the recipe say that wax paper is best.
I added another cup of chocolate chips to a total of 3 cups; maybe a little more, and I added the other half slab of paraffin…see note.
Note: This batch of chocolate dip was a virgin batch; meaning that it was made from scratch. Normally, I use the chunk leftover from my previous use of the double boiler as the chocolate will keep almost indefinitely. Next time, I will use the leftover from this, and add more chocolate but not near as much paraffin. Make sense? The chocolate was way too thick before I added the extra paraffin.
Keep several toothpicks about.
Dip quickly as the bonbons get warmer, they don't twirl with the toothpick. Perhaps the flat toothpicks work better. I use another toothpick to push the bonbons off the toothpick onto the wax paper.
Makes about 100 if you roll them small enough.
They must be kept refrigerated as they will get very mushy if allowed to get to room temp.

FPC is a short name of Flexible Printed Circuit, also known as soft circuit board, flexible printed circuit board, flexible circuit board, referred to as soft board or FPC, with high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness characteristics, mainly used in mobile phones, Notebook computers, PDA, digital cameras, FPC LCM and many other products.
1FPC Features
1. Can be free to bend, fold, winding, in three-dimensional space to move and telescopic.
2. Good heat dissipation, the use of F-PC to reduce the volume.
3. To achieve lightweight, miniaturization, thin, so as to achieve the integration of component devices and wire connections.
FPC flexible circuit board bending, FPC deflection of the design points
FPC applications in the field and more and more products, our smart engineers using flexible PCB board can be bent, the characteristics of the design of a number of flexible assembly of the product. Board-to-board FPC cable, test connection soft cable and many other products is the use of this feature. FPC When our products do pre-design needs to bend, flexion area to do what kind of design? I believe that many of the initial design of the engineers do not understand, here for your brief description, let you in the design more handy, more with less.
First of all in the product structure design, we have to clear which area in the FPC need to do bending, bending the angle of how much the frequency and the number of bending about how much. Make a pre-defined definition of this. So that the designer and our processing plant has a common point of knowledge, FPC know about the product requirements.
Second, in the curved area we have to avoid the design of the hole, which is the bending frequency and the number of relatively large FPC, must not design holes in this area.
Third, when we lay the cabling area, we try to design the same width, equidistant, close to the geometric center. Try to avoid large copper skin. Really need to help copper should also be changed to grid state.
Fourth, in this area it is best to design a single layer line, FPC at the same time with the manufacturer that the substrate and insulation layer as thin as possible.

July 2018
What's on my list?
Language: Japanese
Difficulty: Intermediate Advance
Vocabulary Theme: Martial Arts/ Criminology
Episode Length: 23 Minutes
Firstly, let me just say the 2018 release of Baki is not for the faint of heart, I repeat if you are squeamish do not watch Baki. Initially, was actually really surprised with my limited knowledge of about 1500 kanji that I was able to comprehend most of the subtitles on the screen. Not only that, but since the vocabulary is so interesting – it keeps my listening attention laser focus. There are definitely some words that fly straight over my head, but they are mostly simple things. Another huge benefit of watching Baki in Japanese is that since the scenery is so graphic, I've been remembering certain phrases like the back of my hand
I wish to know defeat.
Tthe meaning behind your last words are…
These are the small things I appreciate when watching Baki in order to test out my reading and listening skills.
Netflix Original Marvel's Luke Cage
Language: Japanese/English
Difficulty: Intermediate/ Upper Intermediate
Vocabulary Theme: Martial Arts/ Society/Economics/Crime/Superpowers
Episode Length: 60 Minutes
Luke Cage is a fantastic show to watch on Netflix to test your language comprehension skills. Not only does it revolve around real-life scenarios with a slightly amped up to superhero theme behind it, but it also does a decent job keeping your attention. The diverse array of scenarios will be sure to keep your mind bouncing back and forth different scenes and force you to make the connections yourself. One downside to watching Luke Cage in my target language is that the setting is based in Harlem – so the strength behind the dialectical tones become watered down a bit when listening to it in Japanese (the language of politeness). One word I picked up recently is 免責 (menseki), it means an exemption, and with all of the criminal activity happening in this series you can imagine why this word was used.

Why do I ask you to give your own review? because every review of best or top and best jvzoo products is subjective. But the objective one is that the products have become best and top seller in jvzoo. In my opinion, every best jvzoo products that become top seller is the best evidence to say that the product is good enough to buy. Every person has a personal reason why to buy is right, but to be best jvzoo products and top seller product in jvzoo is not easy. So why do we still need a reason to buy?

(Canal owned by various landowners; part leased by Stover Canal Trust)
The Stover Canal (2 miles) connected the Ball Clay quarries and the Haytor Granite Tramway on Dartmoor with the town of Newton Abbott, from where clay and granite could be shipped down the river Teign eight miles to the estuary. The Canal's restoration is being promoted by Stover Canal Trust. The Canal is owned by Network Rail, which in late 2009 leased it to Teignbridge District Council, which in turn has sub-leased it to Stover Canal Trust, which now incorporates Stover Canal Society, to hold the canal and some adjacent land, also leased from the Council, to enable the Trust to progress restoration.

The preplanned workflow allows an organization to prepare offline maps so that they can be taken into the field, as required. The map author creates a map area defined by a specific geographical area of work. This process generates the associated map, tile package and geodatabase files and stores them in a mobile map package. The offline map resides in this mobile map package, in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, until the field worker downloads it. As soon as the mobile map package is downloaded the field worker can disconnect their device and work with the map offline.
The main advantages of this workflow are:
- The map author can organise and define very specific map areas for the field workers.
- The user can obtain the preplanned map area more quickly because the mobile map package has been generated, in advance, by the author. In contrast, during the on-demand workflow the user has to both generate and download the mobile map package to their device.
- Many users can download exactly the same mobile map package.
You must ensure that all services used in the web map are enabled for offline use.
Create preplanned map areas
The preplanned workflow allows you to create a mobile map package, in advance, so that it can be downloaded by field workers when they need it. To do this create a map area within a web map and generate the mobile map package for the map area. You can create up to 16 map areas (and their mobile map packages) per web map.
You can do this manually using the ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise user interface. Or you can automate these steps using either Python scripts or the ArcGIS REST API, as follows:
ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise
Manually create, edit, and manage map areas as follows:
Python scripts
Use the ArcGIS API for Python to write python scripts to create map areas and generate their associated data packages. This is detailed in the managing map areas Python topic along with other useful map area management functions such as:
- Update a map area and any of its packages that have been deleted or contain newer data.
- Delete an individual data package.
- Delete a map area along with its associated packages.
- Inspect any of the map area's packages.
- List the web map's current map areas.
ArcGIS Rest API
Use the ArcGIS REST API if you need even more control when creating your preplanned map areas. There are two stages to this process:
- To create a map area you must run the Create Map Area task providing a bookmark or geographical extent as the area of interest. Upon completion the task will generate a new portal item of type MapArea. This task requires that the web map is enabled for offline use. It is only available to the owner of the web map and organization administrators.
- To create the data defined by the map area you must run the Setup Map Area task providing the map area portal item ID. This will create a set of data files such as tile packages, vector tile packages and SQLite geodatabases. For good data management, we strongly recommend that you also provide a folder to organize these files. This task is only available to the map area portal item owner and organization administrators.
Define updates
As well as creating the map area you can also define how users receive updates to the geodatabases in the offline map. Updates can happen by synchronizing the offline map's geodatabases with their online services or by applying scheduled update files to the geodatabases (read-only).
- Synchronization allows you to download updates from the online service and or upload edits from the offline map, once connectivity is restored. You can configure this synchronization direction to determine in which direction edits are synchronized—download only, upload only, or bi-directional.
- Apply scheduled updates allows you to schedule the regular creation of a file containing updates made to the feature service. The ArcGIS Runtine API can download the files it requires and apply them to the offline map's geodatabases. These files are relatively small so they are quick to download and fast to apply. This is a scalable solution for receiving updates to read-only geodatabases. This option is useful in cases where you need to provide many clients with an up to date read-only copy for reference. You can set this scheduled update option using the Setup Map Area task in the ArcGIS REST API. Applying these updates will be described in Update an offline map.
Once you have created the preplanned map areas they will be ready to download to your device. The following section describes how you build a Runtime app to download the map area.
Identify a map area
As discussed above, each web map can contain one or more preplanned map areas. Your app needs to determine which map area should be downloaded. You can do this by allowing the field worker to select a map area from a map view or from a list of map areas. Alternatively, the app logic could select a map area for the field worker.
Follow these steps to retrieve all of the map areas:
- Instantiate the offline map task by passing either a map (created from a web map) or a web map's portal item to the OfflineMapTask constructor.
//Create a task from a map offlineMapTask = new OfflineMapTask(map); //or from an online map's portal item offlineMapTask = new OfflineMapTask(portalItem);
- Retrieve a list of the preplanned map areas from the web map using the getPreplannedMapAreas method on the OfflineMapTask.
- Load the preplanned map area; PreplannedMapArea.
- Display the map area titles and thumbnails in a list, or show the map area extents or just select a map area by name.
//get all of the preplanned map areas in the web map
ListenableFuture<List<PreplannedMapArea>> mapAreasFuture = offlineMapTask.getPreplannedMapAreasAsync();
mapAreasFuture.addDoneListener(() -> {
try {
// get the list of areas
mapAreas = mapAreasFuture.get();
// loop through the map areas
for (PreplannedMapArea mapArea : mapAreas) {
// load each map area
mapArea.addDoneLoadingListener(() -> {
// get the map area geometry so it can be used to display a graphic on the map
Geometry areaGeometry = mapArea.getAreaOfInterest();
// get the area title so it can be used in a UI component
String areaTitle = mapArea.getPortalItem().getTitle();
// UI code for showing map areas goes here:
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
Create the parameters
To take a map offline you can provide a set of DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters. To obtain a set of default parameters pass in the map area to the createDefaultDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParametersAsync method on the OfflineMapTask. The value of these default parameters will match the advanced offline settings configured by the web map author (discussed in Take web maps offline.
For more information see Advanced parameters.
Create the job
Create the download preplanned map area job by calling the downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob method on the OfflineMapTask. Pass in the PreplannedMapArea and a download directory on the device. If this download directory already exists it must be empty. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created by the job.
// construct the download preplanned offline map job
downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob = offlineMapTask.downloadPreplannedOfflineMap(mapArea, downloadDirectory);
If, however, you have created parameters to control the map content you must create the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob using the downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob method on the OfflineMapTask and provide both the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters and the download directory.
// construct the download preplanned offline map job with parameters
downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob =
offlineMapTask.downloadPreplannedOfflineMap(downloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters, downloadDirectory);
Run the job
To download the preplanned map area to your device start the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob. Upon completion the job will return an instance of the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapResult. If at least one table or layer failed to be taken offline the hasErrors property will be true. In this case you should examine the layerErrors and tableErrors dictionaries to identify the problem.
Remember that if the job's ContinueOnErrors parameter has been set to false then the job will be terminated immediately if a single layer or table fails to be taken offline.
If you want to display the map immediately then use the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapResult.offlineMap.
//start the job
// listen for job completion
downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob.addJobDoneListener(()-> {
// get the download result
DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapResult downloadResult = downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob.getResult();
// check for errors
if (downloadResult.hasErrors()) {
// code here to examine errors:
Map<Layer, ArcGISRuntimeException> layerErrors = downloadResult.getLayerErrors();
Map<FeatureTable, ArcGISRuntimeException> tableErrors = downloadResult.getTableErrors();
} else {
// no errors so use the map straight away
map = downloadResult.getOfflineMap();
Note:Note that the job will behave the same whether it was created with or without the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters.
For more details on how to work with jobs, see the Tasks and jobs topic.
Offline maps created by the preplanned workflow are stored in an unpacked mobile map package. When your app goes into the field you will need to open the map directly from the mobile map package downloadDirectory stored on your device. See Open an offline map for more information.
Advanced parameters
Once you have the default parameters you can customize them as required. For example:
- Continue if a table or layer fails?
The DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob takes a map's tables and layers offline. By default this job will continue to do this even if one table of layer has failed. Failures could be due to an intermittent network connection, loss of the service or an unsupported layer type. The approach ensures that you can take a map offline but you may have some data missing.
To ensure that the offline map contains all of its layers and tables you can request that the job is stopped if any layer or table fails to download. To do this set the ContinueOnErrors property to false.
- Which basemap should the map use?
The author of the web map can define whether the map uses:
- the basemap defined by the web map
This is the default situation and ensures that a tile package is downloaded as part of the mobile map package.
- a tile package that is already on the device
The tile package must be downloaded or copied onto the device and can be located using an actual file path on the device or a path that is relative to the mobile map package. You must ensure that the tile package covers the areas required by your map area. The benefits of this option are that the mobile map package file will be smaller, the download time may be faster, and you can use the tile package in many different maps and apps.
To use the tile package on your device you must set the referenceBasemapDirectory to the directory which contains the tile package. We recommend that you confirm that the tile package file, referenceBasemapFilename, exists on the device before running the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob. This job will add the tile package, as a basemap, to the offline map.
If this tile package has a different spatial reference to your online map then the offline map will use the spatial of the tile package.
- No basemap
If you only want to take the operational layers offline you can programmatically exclude the basemap. To do this set the includeBasemap property to false. In this case the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob will not download layers included as part of the map's basemap. This task will not use the local tile package, even if you have specified one.
- the basemap defined by the web map
- Overwrite the geodatabase update mode?.
If the web map author has specified that scheduled updates will be generated for all feature services in the map (discussed in Define updates, then the updateMode on the DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters will be set to PreplannedUpdateModeDownloadScheduledUpdates. This means that the geodatabases will be read-only and can only receive updates via the scheduled update files.
If you wish to edit these geodatabases and adopt the synchronization approach you can override this updateMode by setting it to PreplannedUpdateModeSyncWithFeatureServices. From this point you will not be able to update the geodatabase using the scheduled update files.
Instead of obtaining the default set of DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters you could construct them manually. The author of the web map can recommended how data is downloaded to offline devices, and subsequently synchronized, by adjusting the map's advanced offline settings (discussed in Take web maps offline). You can access these advanced settings from the map's OfflineSettings. They include:
- working with feature attachments
- synchronizing edits
- downloading a basemap or using one which is already on the device
Next steps
Once you have obtained the offline map follow these steps:
- Display and interact with the maps, layers and data offline. Explore and edit the feature data, if necessary.
- Update an offline map by synchronizing your edits with the online services, when connectivity is restored.
- Finish using an offline map by unregistering any geodatabases and fully releasing all locks on the mobile map package.

NXPowerLite 7.1
NXPowerLite can compress documents, presentations and images, which allows saving storage space and sending them over email without difficulties. The application has a very intuitive graphic user interface, which supports drag-and-drop operations. In addition, the utility integrates seamlessly with the operating system, so you can shrink a supported file straight from Windows Explorer.
It is important to note that the program is not an archiver; therefore, the source format or the original quality are not changed in any way. Instead, the application works by re-dimensioning high-resolution images and eliminating background data that are not necessary. I tried it with various PDFs and PowerPoint presentations and it actually decreased their size to almost half of the original weight and, surprisingly, there was no noticeable quality loss whatsoever.
This product supports various Office formats (PowerPoint, Excel and Word), portable documents (PDF), images (JPG) and even compressed files (ZIP). Yet, it cannot work properly when the source file is digitally-signed, protected or encrypted. In addition, documents created with Office versions before 97 or after 2013 may be not supported either.
Luckily, the tool can save you a lot of time by processing batches of files, which you can import individually or as complete folders. It comes with various built-in optimization profiles but you can also use personalized parameters. Unluckily, though, you cannot save one of these customized profiles for further use. The program lets you configure naming procedures and decide what to do with the resulting files, including sending them as email attachments.
All in all, NXPowerLite is a tool that I find extremely useful and, therefore, I recommend it to everyone. The product is shareware and its trial version will be completely functional for about 14 days. There are also various editions NXPowerLite for desktop, NXPowerLite for File Servers and NXPowerLite for Microsoft Exchange with different features and prices.
Review summary
- No quality loss whatsoever
- Excellent compression rate
- Automatic compression of email attachments
- Various optimization profiles
- Retains the original format
- Batch processing
- System integration
- Some Office and PDF versions are not supported
- Encrypted, password-protected and digitally-signed files cannot be processed
- Customized profiles cannot be saved for further use

Sheffield, England's WHILE SHE SLEEPS is pleased to announce a new single entitled "Be(lie)ve", set for worldwide digital release by GOOD FIGHT MUSIC. The track is being released for purchase in the UK and mainland Europe on Monday, March 14th and in the U.S. on Tuesday, March 15th. The track will be available then on iTunes and other digital stores. "Be(lie)ve" was self-recorded and mixed by guitarist Mat Welsh in January 2011 in order to keep in tune with the band's DIY ethics and style. A video has been recorded for the track and should also hit the internet in the beginning of March.
"Be(lie)ve" is a track that sets to bridge the gap between the band's last album, The North Stands for Nothing, and a new, currently untitled album that the band is presently writing. As for the meaning behind the track, 'Be(lie)ve' sheds light on everything wrong that we see around us day after day in society, and how we rebel against it. The track reflects the passion and drive that is WHILE SHE SLEEPS.
WHILE SHE SLEEPS released their digital-only album, The North Stands for Nothing on GOOD FIGHT MUSIC in November.

Will Trump win re-election in 2020? The stocks in our new Pro-Trump Stocks strategy might be poised to rise in that environment. It holds stocks such as aluminum company Alcoa (AA) and Steel company U.S. Steel (X), which Trump intended to benefit by placing tariffs on imports. Trump also intended to benefit the solar panel companies when he imposed tariffs on imported solar panels, so perhaps the Pro-Trump strategy will benefit from the inclusion of Solar City (FSLR).
Will a Democrat take Trump's place? The green energy and infrastructure stocks in our new Anti-Trump Stocks strategy might get a boost if so. The chipmaker stocks in the Anti-Trump strategy might see a lift if a Democrat reverses Trump-imposed tariffs.
From his tweets to his geopolitics, President Trump impacts individual stocks and sometimes entire industries on a regular basis. He's even taken credit for the recent strength of the stock market.
When we searched, we couldn't find any ETFs that sought to take advantage of the political environment under Trump. There's a MAGA ETF, but it only invests in companies that have donated to Republicans. To buy each of the stocks individually that might be impacted by Trump would be much more expensive than $5. So we created our own investment strategies.
Now with iBillionaire, investors can invest in two "Trump" strategies: Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump. Each consists of 20 stocks (equal-weighted), the majority of which are in the S&P 500 and are large-cap, well-established companies. Because iBillionaire uses fractional shares, investors can invest in strategies such as Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump, as well as individual stocks and ETFs with just $5. Our investment platform iBillionaire has a website and an app where investors can buy a stock or strategy on a one-time or recurring basis, or start an auto-saving plan with just $5.
Other iBillionaire strategies include Space Exploration, FAANGs, Blockchain, Green Energy Stocks, eCommerce Stocks, and Marijuana Stocks, to name a few. These strategies, like the Trump Strategies, are bundles of individual stocks that are sometimes based off of ETF holdings, but we use fractional shares instead of ETFs. By using fractional shares we don't have to pass on extra fees to our investors.
The Pro-Trump Stocks and Anti-Trump Stocks strategies aim to perform relatively well in any political environment, but especially with or without Trump as President.
The Pro-Trump Strategy
Based on our research, people – or Trump himself – anticipate that the policies the U.S. President has or will enact will benefit select industries. The Pro-Trump strategy invests in 20 stocks in such industries, including those that might benefit from the recent Dodd-Frank rollback, the offshore drilling ban lift, the tariffs he has imposed or threatened, and Trump's anti-immigration agenda, for example. These and more Trump-created, market-impacting catalysts are likely to continue to reverberate in the stock market. Policy change is possible, and the strategy will re-balance as needed.
The Anti-Trump Strategy
The Anti-Trump strategy invests in stocks of companies whose leaders have voiced opposition to Trump or his policies, as well as stocks that might be insulated from Trump's tariffs, and those that might benefit from a democrat taking his place.
Identifying Trump Stocks
Politics impact certain industries and companies, especially in the Trump administration. There is a lot of information available on the administration's potential effects on segments of the market.
When creating these strategies, we researched financial news to determine a general consensus view: will this stock or industry perform well under Trump? Is this a company whose leadership is vocally pro or anti Trump? We did not consider whether these were stocks that supporters or non-supporters would like. Nor is a stock's presence in either strategy a statement about the organization or the political stance of its employees.
Trump supporters may have divergent views of the Second Amendment and immigration, for example, but that is not why they are included. They are included because private prison stocks of companies that work with ICE are in a position to perform well under Trump. And although firearms makers typically outperform when Democrats take office, the credit for their success goes to increased gun purchases in anticipation of their being taken away. If they were taken away, firearms makers would suffer in the longer term. At iBillionaire, we believe in investing for the long-term.
You can view the entire list of stocks on each strategy's homepage (Pro-Trump Stocks & Anti-Trump Stocks).
We will be keeping an eye on the Trade War and President Trump's policy moves. Look for updates on how politics is impacting certain companies and industries on the iBillionaire blog.
Which strategy's performance will prevail: Pro-Trump Stocks or Anti-Trump Stocks' performance? Think about which strategy will post better returns one year from today! What about four years from today, after the 2020 election?

'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.' Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Now featuring a brand-new chapter told by bully Julian, Wonder is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.

May 29, 2018
For our capstone project at Fullstack Academy, my group created an app we called "MyFlix" that is a clone of Plex, a media server app. We used Electron and React to create the app. In this project, I learned a lot not only on how to use Electron and use React in it, but also on how it is to work collaboratively and practice my Git skills.
One task I was assigned was to create the movie player for the app. The requirements for this component are that it should play a movie file and it should have a custom video control. Rendering the movie that can play was easy, thanks to a node package called ReactPlayer. Creating the custom video control that is able to play, pause, forward and back the video as well as increase and decrease the volume of the video was a little challenging. ReactPlayer has a prop called
controls, the default video control for the ReactPlayer component, but we wanted a custom one.
This was due to the fact that I have to take over the functions for these activities (play, pause, forward, back, increase volume, decrease volume), but also I have to make sure that the control appear during user activity and disappear otherwise. For this post, I will talk about how I made the video control element or component do this.
Looking back, it would have been easier if I first looked at how I can come up with a React component that disappears after a period of inactivity. Like this:
In the video, the element "I should hide" only shows when the mouse moves and hides again when there is no activity. Also, is should be visible upon page loading, then disappears if there is no user activity (the video doesn't clearly show that but at ~0:03, the page was reloaded). That is basically what most video controls do. (For example, check the YouTube video above.)
By making the simple React component that can do what's happening above, I was able to incorporate this as a feature of my video controller for my project. The details on how I created this is described below.
First, I added a
shouldHide state on the component. This state should change from
false to
true after a few seconds after page loading. I used a setTimeout function (assigned to a variable called
timerId which was set to
null in the constructor function) that calls a
setState to change
shouldHide. I set the timeout to two seconds. I defined
timerId in a function called
This function was then used in the
componentDidMount lifecycle hook to start the timer upon page load, and when the timer ends,
shouldHide is changed to
class Hiding extends React.Component {
constructor() {
this.state = {
shouldHide: false,
this.timerId = null
hidingTimer() {
this.timerId = setTimeout(() => {
this.setState({ shouldHide: true })
}, 2000)
componentDidMount() {
// ...
Another function I created was
handleMouseMove which changes
shouldHide to
false when the mouse moves, and starts the timer again so
shouldHide would change to
true when movement wanes.
handleMouseMove() {
clearTimeout(this.timerId); // clear the setTimeout first
this.setState({ shouldHide: false });
Note that the two functions,
handleMouseMove and
hidingTimer were bound to
this in the constructor function to make it work for the
Hiding component.
Finally, in the
render function, I take advantage of conditionals to change the class name of the
div that contains the element that should hide. The final code for the React component looks like this:
import React from 'react'
class Hiding extends React.Component {
constructor() {
this.state = {
shouldHide: false,
this.timerId = null
this.handleMouseMove = this.handleMouseMove.bind(this)
this.hidingTimer = this.hidingTimer.bind(this)
hidingTimer() {
this.timerId = setTimeout(() => {
this.setState({ shouldHide: true })
}, 2000)
componentDidMount() {
handleMouseMove() {
shouldHide: false,
render() {
return (

Move here

I should hide

This code for the component makes possible the desired characteristics of the component shown in the video above.
So, I went ahead and applied this code to the actual video control component I was working on. However, I encountered another problem, which was the occurence of memory leaks. Apparently, this is common with setTimeout functions in a React app. The recommended fix was to include a
componentWillUnmount function that clears the setTimeout function. Luckilly, this worked for us, and the video control does what it's supposed to do without the memory leaks.
componentWillUnmount() {

The Orlando, Florida office of Holland & Knight has expanded its capabilities by hiring an experienced business litigator as a partner.
A lawyer who has considerable expertise in complex business litigation has re-joined his former colleagues Holland & Knight's Orlando, Florida office.
David Cannella focuses his practice on class-action defence, defamation, trade secret, and franchise and distribution litigation, and has joined the firm from Carlton Fields, where he worked as a shareholder. Prior to this, he was an associate at Maguire, Voorhis & Wells for over four years, leaving in 1997, a year ahead of its merger with Holland & Knight in 1998. He has experience in trying both jury and non-jury business litigation cases and has appeared as lead trial counsel before state and federal courts.
Among his work, Cannella has defended clients in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries in product liability cases, and in catastrophic injury claims. He also has experience in unfair competition, government contracts, unfair trade practices, breach of fiduciary duty claims and complex commercial foreclosure and banking litigation.
Suzanne Gilbert, leader of Holland & Knight's Central Florida litigation group, said in a statement: "David is a well-respected litigator with significant trial experience and a strong record of professional service," while Canella cited the appeal of the firm's nationwide reach.
In other hires at Holland & Knight, Carter Burgess joined as a senior counsel in its Jacksonville, Florida office last month from McGlinchey Stafford, where he worked for seven years.
Meanwhile, the firm's Portland office gained a four-lawyer litigation team from boutique Markowitz Herbold in June, comprised of partners Matt Donohue, Shannon Armstrong and Joe Franco, as well as Lisa Howley,whojoinedas a senior counsel.
Earlier this month, commercial litigator Amy Rudd left Dechert after nine years and joined DLA Piper as a partner in Austin, Texas.
Elsewhere, this month, Kari Rollins joined Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton from Winston & Strawn, expanding the firm's privacy and cybersecurity practice in New York.

John 'Jethro' Thompson's military service in Vietnam left him a multiple amputee.
As a young man, Jethro joined the Australian Army and trained as a field engineer.
In 1967 he was sent to Vietnam, where he was seriously wounded in a minefield explosion that killed two others.
With the help of prosthetics Jethro gradually adjusted to life back home; married and started a family.
When his wife became gravely ill in the prime of her life, leaving Jethro to raise their children alone, his tenacity was tested and proven again.

After receiving a book of Super Mario music arranged for piano, I started to play the World 1-1 theme, and wanted to play faster to recreate the sunny, jazz-like sound of the Mario theme.
I am going to need more practice first though.
This post covers a bit about the composer of the piece, and a few practical steps on how to go about playing Mario piano themes.
Memorising the melodic part of the music, and the supporting bass notes of this arrangement is essential to eventually performing the piece at the intended speed. The Mario music composer, Koji Kondo, intended the music to be played like a faster, jazz-like piece.
Koji Kondo's goal in composing Super Mario Bros. music is to create a jazz-like sound, without recruiting difficult chords. This style is one of reasons Kondo is considered a mastermind, with his music compositions remarked as milestones in game music design.
Jazz is usually played fast with improvisation, which requires talent or time spent practicing scores. Influences from other sources are also a large part of the Jazz-like sound. Kondo started learning music on the electric organ, which he pushed to produce a hard rock sound in high school. Practice, however, is just as important as talent or musical influence.
Breaking down music into sections, and rehearsing those parts individually, is a good strategy when learning a new piece for the first time.
The version of the Super Mario Bros. themes I have has broken the music down into different sections. It's easier to learn any new piece of music after dividing the sections up, and focusing on one at a time. Later, build the piece up, adding in each new section.
Playing the Right hand part separately, and then the left hand part separately before putting the two parts together, is also a good strategy.
The melodic part of the piece, usually carried in the Treble clef part of the music stave (the five lines and four spaces the notes appear on), is played in the right hand. Since Mario's theme is so well know, the right hand is what will create the familiar sound.
Play this part separately from left hand first. Bass clef notes usually provide support to the piece. Music with a resonant bass clef added gives a sense of combined ensemble – a choir, or an orchestra, working together. Eventually, look for the notes where the left and right hands play at the same time, and start to practice the two parts together.
For more information on Koji Kondo's background, glitterberri.com has an interview on his life and music.
Alfred music has copies of the Super Mario Series for Piano.

There's far too many of you've done this meme to go around posting the exact same comments in all of them, so I shall sumarise here.
My response to my male friends would no doubt involve my noises of terror and wondering where the ether pillow was hiding.
On the other hand, my imediate thoughts if found waking up to a female friend would be try and get (more) snuggles and then go back to sleep like any sensible person would if they had a girl in their arms.
And just so you lot can express love, fear and revulsion too... If you woke up next to me in bed, what would your first thoughts be?
