Faux Boxwood Garden Dog, Peabody is rated out of 5 by 57.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rebecca Leigh from Cute but falling apart I fell in love with this dog and bought before we even finished building house. Couldn't wait to put him up. However if you touch it the plastic petals fall off. It is under a sheltered porch so the only answer I have for this is it gets the morning sunrise but still for the money should have lasted longer than 4 month. Very sad. Not even sure I'll be able to take it back out and use next summer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MBartling from This cheeky design is darling, but the quality is terrible. I put it out at the start of spring and it was brought in early fall. It is placed in an area that receives very little direct sunlight. Even with this placement, the "boxwood" has started the fade in color and become brittle. For this price point I expected it to hold up better. I am incredibly disappointed with this!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bejaye29 from Peabody, Casey and Moxie I am SOOOOO UPSET!!! I ordered the set just last year with the intention of including them in my outside seasonal decor. I am an avid dog lover!!!! The boxwood has almost completely shedded, torn up and fell apart on Peabody. Casey is tearing up and shedding leaves. Moxie is the only one that is holding up. She has had a few leaves to shed. They are so expensive, I thought they would last along time and bought them just over a year ago in July of 2018

Rated 5 out of 5 by eyegirl from Boxwood Dog It is well made and cute, larger than I expected. He gets a laugh when they notice we hung two small green balls on him and he's near a potted plant that water drains from to his lifted leg.lol

Rated 1 out of 5 by Motomom from Definitely will not hold up After one season of sun in Ohio, the plastic became brittle. Pieces were constantly breaking off. Very disappointed considering the cost. The piece ended up in the garbage.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Judy121 from Not worth the money. My Peabody which I love has not held up. The leaves have been falling off and now the entire branches are snapping. He also never stood up by himself. Had to lean against something. I am very disappointed.

Fans of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones will soon be able to visit the actual locations in Northern Ireland where the show was filmed. The network has revealed plans to convert several GoT filming locations into tourist attractions.
"HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the Game of Thrones creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person," said Jeff Peters, HBO's VP of licensing and retail. "The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland's pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these Legacy projects."
HBO will offer a studio tour of Linen Mill Studios and is considering featuring the standing sets of locations such as Winterfell, Castle Black, and Kings Landing, reports Page Six. The tour will spotlight GoT components from every season and setting.
Dubbed the Game of Thrones Legacy attractions, HBO is striving for a 2019 launch. The network is capitalizing on the popularity of the show, which drew a record-breaking 16.5 million viewers during its seventh season finale last year. HBO has already successfully launched the GoT Touring Exhibition and GoT Live Concert Experience.
The planned attractions in Northern Ireland will be "on a scale and scope bigger than anything the public has ever seen," according to HBO, adding that it will give fans a unique opportunity to explore the series' iconic locations.
The tourist attractions will include sets from the show along with costumes, props, weapons, set decorations and models, and other things involved in production. The network will add a modern touch to the tour via digital content and interactive tools to highlight the visual effects used in the series.
HBO is teaming up with Northern Ireland's Tourism NI. The company's CEO, John McGrillen, called the project, a "game-changer for Northern Ireland on the global tourism level."
"While [Game of Thrones] fans have seen the stunning landscapes, coastlines and mountains in the series, we are thrilled they will now have the opportunity to fully experience the charm of Northern Ireland and immerse themselves into the world of Westeros," he said in a statement.
The six-episode, eighth and final season of GoT will air on the premium cable network in 2019.

BAGHDAD - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said the the US State Department had renewed the contract of private security company Blackwater USA without the approval of the Baghdad government.
Blackwater is the most controversial of several private security firms tasked with protecting high-profile US officials and foreign diplomats in Iraq.
The company's guards shot dead 17 Iraqi civilians while escorting an American diplomat through Baghdad in September 2007 in an incident denounced as a crime by the Iraqi government.
Blackwater says its guards reacted in self-defence.
"As far as Iraqi government is involved, this issue is still under consideration and we are still discussing principles upon which foreign security companies must operate, especially this company because they committed a massacre against Iraqis and until now this matter has not been resolved," Maliki said on Monday in an interview with US television network CNN.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
"No judicial action has been taken, no compensation has been made. Therefore the extension requires approval of the Iraqi government and the government wants to resolve the outstanding issues with this company," Maliki said.
"I would say the US side should not move to renew the contract until the outstanding issues of the company are finalised. I feel the decision was taken without the approval of the Iraqi government."
The US State Department said on Friday it is extending its diplomat protection contract for Blackwater despite the fatal shootings.
The company's contract was set to expire on May 7.
Foreign security companies at currently not subject to Iraq law, but at the same time are not governed by US military tribunals, allowing them to operate without regard to any repercussions.

You can get in around 3pm on Thursday and I'd just need you out around noon on Friday so when my crew arrives they can drop off stuff and shower.Looking to get at least $200 for it as I paid $250. Email me at [email protected] if interested.

Bethany and Tim were married last month in Vancouver. Their wedding was elegant, yet simple. The styling was beautiful and the rooms were full of people who were truly rooting for a new and awesome marriage. There were touches of gold – but not too much – and many, many, giant pink peonies.
Bethany and Tim – huge congrats. Thanks for letting me be a (little) part of your big day.

I gratefully accepted the invite to watch Ian Huddleston and the Endcliffe Orchestra perform via a public rehearsal at the lovely Church of the Holy Trinity at Millhouses, Sheffield. We interviewed Ian after a memorable performance, which featured Ian singing and playing his guitar along with a drummer brought along for the occasion, accompanied by a 50+ piece orchestra. One notable visual was Ian, being about 6'6" tall, dwarfing the conductor even though the latter was standing on a box.
A1930's built structure, the church acoustics were excellent and a major feature is the wonderful looking organ, which is sadly not used tonight. The performance started with Ian and the orchestra playing three numbers followed by another two with Ian and drummer sat out. Ian's songs were Say What You Want, then He Said, She Said and finally Chips, which is a working title, Ian confides "it was initially called Chip On His Shoulder about chav's and scummy people like that."
Despite Ian looking a tad nervous the set goes very well, almost breathtaking at times, and that after just 3 hours rehearsal (which as you will hear later is quite a big commitment for Ian). He is much more relaxed having a chat on a dwarf wall in the corner of the car park immediately afterwards.
Without dwelling too long on Ian's previous incarnation as frontman in the amazing rock band Viva High Rollers, it was a bit of a shock when they wound things up. Many people thought there was much more to come but Ian disagrees "I think it had run its course, I'd moved on, I was 27 and I wanted to do something different, then my girlfriend, now my wife, became pregnant and we wanted to start a family. The band was a good laugh and though we had some bad experiences with management we have some really good memories" he laughs knowingly "we had some REALLY good times I'm telling you."
When he left the Viva's he kept tinkering on guitar and writing songs so how did the new laid back style come about? The big man explains "I wrote a lot of the songs in Viva High Rollers but we didn't really write enough. I liked to be able to go home, with the pressure off and just write songs I liked, for myself. I wrote Amelie for my daughter, it was much more of a personal thing, I didn't know what I was going to do with it. In your early 20's it's all about getting signed but I'm not bothered about that now."
Ian recorded his first ep as a solo act, recruiting ex Viva's members Channy to produce it and Woody to play drums. The release was very well received, by critics and fans alike, but Ian confesses he was still trying to find the sound he wanted.
A second session was then recorded, this time at the Jade drop in centre at Kiveton Park with Sam Olroyd, which was another big step forward. The band he assembled was in his words, a 'mish mash' of musicians, but the result is an excellent set of songs with some strings adding more depth.
He then invited some of the musicians to join his live band, which is undoubtedly a very fluid affair with a semi permanent bass player, a few drummers involved, lead guitarists etc. Ian's method of recruitment, due to time constraints of family life and a full time job, involves send the musicians an MP3 and saying "can you learn that by the gig on Friday" which triggers a hearty laugh as he adds "it seems to work for me, once in a while we rehearse if it's a bigger gig but I don't religiously practice."
His songs seem to have very personal lyrics he admits "they are, I'm really settled and content with my life, with my wife and kids and base it on that. I've done all my angst, though I still have my moments" then adds with a more serious tone "but I think I've found myself now."
The orchestral link up came some 6 months before when Ian had an idea in his head of the sound he wanted "after listening to the likes of Love and Spiritualised I've been putting a bit of that in my recordings using midi strings." From that came the idea to work with an orchestra so Ian scouted about then sent an email to conductor Martin Lightowler who was happy to get involved after hearing some tracks.
Martin, who did the arrangement for tonight's concert, has his own version of events which he shares with the audience tonight "Ian asked if he could work with the strings part of the orchestra, after hearing his work I said no, but you can work with the whole orchestra." Quite a compliment and the start of a relationship that will culminate in a full concert on 16th October at Victoria Hall in Sheffield city centre.
The future, musically, is not something Ian is overly concerned about as he adds contentedly "I'll see what comes and play it by ear. I want to spend a lot of time with the kids but if anything comes of this that would be great. It would be good to get the concert recorded but we shall see."
So a contented man with no driving ambition, but Ian Huddleston does have undoubted talent. He's a very amiable, charismatic guy and having found the sound he's been looking for, his is a name that we'll hear much more of in the coming year.

RUSSIANS have been indicted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe looking into foreign interference in the 2016 election.
The full indictment is here.
The indictment says that a Russian organization called the Internet Research Agency sought to wage "information warfare" against the United States by using fictitious American personas and social media platforms and other Internet-based media.
While that effort was launched in 2014, by early to mid-2016 the defendants were "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump … and disparaging Hillary Clinton," the indictment charges.
As part of those efforts, the defendants also encouraged minority groups to either not for in the election, or to vote for a third-party candidate. Both acts would have hurt Clinton, who received significant support from minority voters.
…. According to NBC News, President Trump was briefed Friday morning personally by Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray about the indictment, before it was publicly released.
Who will President Donald Trump blame for this new action by the special counsel's office?
Rod Rosenstein looked like he enjoyed announcing the indictment.
…or maybe the latest bombshell by Ronan Farrow about Donald Trump, the Playboy Model, and a System of Concealment that matches Harvey Weinstein's approach will keep him busy.
From Farrow's New Yorker piece
On November 4, 2016, four days before the election, the Wall Street Journal reported that American Media, Inc., the publisher of the National Enquirer, had paid a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for exclusive rights to McDougal's story, which it never ran. Purchasing a story in order to bury it is a practice that many in the tabloid industry call "catch and kill." This is a favorite tactic of the C.E.O. and chairman of A.M.I., David Pecker, who describes the President as "a personal friend." As part of the agreement, A.M.I. consented to publish a regular aging-and-fitness column by McDougal. After Trump won the Presidency, however, A.M.I.'s promises largely went unfulfilled, according to McDougal. Last month, the Journal reported that Trump's personal lawyer had negotiated a separate agreement just before the election with an adult-film actress named Stephanie Clifford, whose screen name is Stormy Daniels, which barred her from discussing her own affair with Trump. Since then, A.M.I. has repeatedly approached McDougal about extending her contract.

Undefeated Baston travelled eager to keep up their 100% winning record in SLBL div 2 at Boston. Selection was as difficult this week more due to the amount of unavailability's with VSM (Forgot it was Saturday), D.Long (Injured), Tim (Scared of Mickey Troops and Division 2 teas) and Bashwell (Babysitting). The chosen ones were Sporty, Biggsy, Neil and sick note Liam.
Mickey had been dreaming of this game for weeks to practice his Steve Bull impression
On arrival to Boston, Adam held a meeting with Big time Lamin and hungover Ant to what to do at the toss. Baston had a problem this week with an injured Liam 'Only able to bat' meaning the side had only two frontline bowlers. Auditions were held at nets in the morning to which Sporty was laughed off, Biggsy thought he was playing Baseball which duly left Hawk to fill the void needed. Adam won the toss and decided to stick Boston in.
An early breakthrough was needed and that is what exactly the skipper delivered bowling the Boston captain, who attempted a Ben Hudson shovel and was bowled (Shame as he had scored 90 and 70 in his previous innings). Wicket number 2 fell soon after as Liam exploited the international rules of one hand, one bounce to get rid of the young wicket keeper from Boston. D.Gilding was being his usual defensive mode and was proving difficult to remove… step forward the hawk to claim his first SLBL wicket trapping the batsman LBW. Boston 46-3 after 10.
Hawk celebrates his first wicket, with a trademark funny run
Boston steadily scored runs but as soon as they looked like they might build some momentum, Baston took wickets. Biggsy and Joe tried their cause by dropping some snippers which they tried to claim weren't fineable?!?! Just catch it next time boys!!! Though J.Tether was the only boston player who stuck it out through the innings making a nice 40, having to even deal with an extreme body line from Hawk who duly clattered him on the helmet with a head high full toss. Lamin eventually got his wicket with a leg spin variation ball that worked a treat.
Boston were eventually all out for 135 with Lamin the pick of the bowlers with 4-18 off his 12 overs. A score that Baston felt was very gettable. After a very nice tea, still hungover and just about avoiding to throw up yaaaaaaaaaa Ant and 'Still a very sore groin' Liam opened the batting. The partnership was only 2 runs old when Liam on nought flicked the ball straight to JC which he shelled which would prove to be an expensive drop. After that, Liam started to find the boundary even off the bowling of ex Wimbledon line judge opening bowler Gollum. Ant departed by giving Appleyard the easiest caught and bowled and it was up to Lamin to get in and steady the ship.
Liam continued to find the boundary off all the bowlers where as John was LBW playing across the line to a straight full ball…….. At drinks, baston were 76-2 and Liam was 55 not out having run to the boundary for a fag (Bear in mind he hadn't run all day prior to this point!!). He asked what he was on and ensued on trying to score the remaining runs himself to claim his first Baston century. He was starting now to hit the ball to all parts (avec tongue out) whilst Ben did his job of keeping Liam on strike.
Liam brings up Baston's first ever groin strain inflicted 50
As the runs required to win drew equal with what Liam needed for his 100, there was only way it was way this fairytale was going to end. Duly, Liam hit 2 boundaries and a smartly run 2 with Hudson allowed him to finish 100 not out which everyone was delighted.
Beers were enjoyed back at the pub especially hearing that Claypole had lost meaning that Baston were not only still undefeated but were now TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
MoM: Liam did ok, but Dave didn't do anything and didn't come to pub, but gave money towards club jugs so well done Dave.
DoD: Adam for his poor fielding, mincing around the boundary and his fat face as seen below:

Crystal membrane driver
The eye-catching surface of the crystal membrane is more than just an attractive design feature of the BS 312. The Crystal Membrane (patent pending) design is based on ELAC's Aluminum-Sandwich AS Technology. The crystal-shaped inverse aluminum dome is joined to the paper cone in a special gluing process to result in the desired sandwich construction. Resembling the surface of a large crystal, the aluminum-foil stamping stiffens the aluminum dome, diminishing resonances and minimizing coloration, while improving power handling and dynamics. The voice coil design of the driver results in an expanded frequency range, and driver surround allows for longer cone excursions for truly prodigious volume and lowest distortion, a unique engineering achievement for a driver of its size.
JET 5 tweeter
Delivering true high-definition sound, ELAC's JET 5 tweeter used in the BS 312 enthralls with its lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion, lots of headroom and a distinctly wider frequency range than conventional dome tweeters. The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the industry and has won international praise with its transparent and effortless sound image.
The JET tweeter was developed to perfection on the basis of the famous Air Motion Transformer by loudspeaker pioneer Dr. Oskar Heil. Its operating principle is based on a concertinaed-foil membrane, driven by a strong magnet system of neodymium rods. This motor drives the air considerably faster than the pistonic motion of a conventional driver, with gains in higher sensitivity and extraordinary dynamics. Due to many additional design changes, like an improved new neodymium magnet system, even higher efficiency, higher sound pressure levels and frequency response up to 50 kHz was achieved.
The core of the JET tweeter is the folded foil membrane. With a fold width of only 0.84 mm, a major requirement in the JET production is precision. To guarantee repeated accuracy and unchanging quality even with high production capacity, gluing and handling are now executed by two SCARA robots. The folding and fixing of the membrane, however, are executed by hand, since for production steps requiring extreme precision, the manual dexterity of skilled technicians is irreplaceable. Due to continuous improvement, the JET 5 tweeter creates an effortless, airy and resonance-free image up to 50,000 Hz, and with its linear frequency response is ideally suited for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.
Bass reflex port
The bass port of the BS 312 is a proprietary design feature. Flared on both sides, the double-flare port has been designed to minimize ventilation noises and to reduce friction losses of traditional ported cabinets.

Change happens. "Good" change, "bad" change. It happens. Welcome it. That means that time is working. Accept each change as it is, do not fight it. This will get you nowhere. Be okay with the truth that nothing lasts forever. Even the good stuff. But, in regards to the bad stuff, this helps us to remember that it will not last forever.
It is interesting that we do not appreciate something as much until it is gone. We often realize our mistakes after, but we can learn from them and carry those teachings to new relationships and new experiences.
Just remember. Appreciate what you have now, for one day it may be gone and you will have wished that you were more grateful for it in the moment.
On a final note, the best thing you can do, is to be honest to yourself. Do not lie to yourself by holding onto things. Let it go. There is more in this world. You will learn.

DIBS Easy – Integration flow chart
DIBS Easy is an embedded checkout, an iframe based checkout solution that replaces the standard WooCommerce checkout form. This setup provides an easy way for the customer to complete the purchase and a convenient way for the merchant to offer multiple payment options in the same solution.
Visual flow chart
To describe the steps during a purchase process a bit closer, we have created the following integration flow chart:
Step by step description of the purchase process
To sumarize this flow cart – an order goes through the following steps:
- WooCommerce checkout page is requested.
- If DIBS Easy is the selected or the default payment method a request is sent to DIBS.
- DIBS responds with a payment ID and the html used for displaying the Easy checkout iframe.
- The regular WooCommerce template file form-checkout.php is replaced with the dibs-easy-checkout.php template file.
- The checkout page and the Easy checkout iframe is rendered.
- The customer identifies herself in the Easy checkout. DIBS trigger a javascript event, the address data is updated in the webstore, the cart is recalculated and an updated cart is sent to DIBS.
- The customer clicks the Pay button in DIBS Easy.
- DIBS trigger the pay-initialized event. If there are required extra checkout fields not entered in the checkout we will respond with payment-order-finalized = false. If there are no extra checkout fields or if all required extra checkout fields have been entered we will respond with payment-order-finalized = true.
- If the customer have selected card payment as the payment method, the customer will now be redirected to 3DSecure for signing. The customer is then redirected back to the webstore.
- The order is now created in DIBS system. DIBS trigger the payment-completed event.
- Customer address data is fetched from DIBS.
- The WooCommerce checkout form is submitted.
- If the checkout form submission was ok, an order is created in WooCommerce.
- If the checkout form submission failed the checkout_error event is triggered and the plugin creates an order programatically. An order note with the message This order was made as a fallback due to an error in the checkout is created. In most cases the reason why the form submission failed is also printed in the note.
- The customer is now redirected to the thank you page and the order status is set to Processing (via the payment gateway function payment_complete()) in WooCommerce.
Order creation via API callback if something major goes wrong
In some cases an error happen in the same sequence as the customer clicks the Pay button in DIBS Easy, before the order is created in WooCommerce. This might happen if the customers browser crashes, if the internet connection drops or the web server goes down/reboots in this exact moment.
If this happens the plugin listens to a server-to-server callback that is sent from DIBS. 2 minutes after the order is created in DIBS this callback is processed in the webstore. If no order with the specific paymentID exist in WooCommerce a new order is created with basic customer address data. No order items are added via this callback (this must be added manually by the merchant).
An order note with the message is created: Something went wrong during WooCommerce checkout process. This order was created as a fallback via DIBS Easy API callback. Order product information not available. Please see the order in DIBS system for more information about products and order amount.

For the past nine years thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, bloggers and business leaders (not to mention world leaders like Shimon Peres and Nicolas Sarkozy) have been coming to Paris to attend LeWeb, Europe's largest internet conference.
LeWeb is run by Loïc Le Meur, whose most recent startup is the social media managing tool Seesmic. While he calls San Francisco home, Le Meur is considered one of Europe's preeminent web advocates.
In a conversation at this year's SXSW Interactive Le Meur said that he thinks of LeWeb as "a studio" as much as a conference. The key, according to Le Meur, is to produce quality content that can be leveraged to promote next year's event.
So instead of spending money on a sales team (LeWeb's full-time staff consists of Le Meur and his wife) or on sponsored speakers (LeWeb never sells speaking slots) Le Meur said he invests about half a million dollars in producing, editing and distributing video content.
And although the face-to-face aspect remains as powerful as ever, "the online component of events is becoming much more important," Le Meur said.
The theme for the London edition of LeWeb is "Faster than Real Time." It includes speakers discussing how this concept translates to social media, business operations and the platforms that make them work.
Speakers include Highlight founder and CEO Paul Davison, TechCrunch Editor Eric Eldon, Celebrity Chef and food activist Jamie Oliver, Instagram co-Founder Kevin Systrom and comedy writer Baratunde Thurston.
After his SXSW talk, Le Meur took a few moments to speak with Sparksheet Editor Dan Levy about content's role in LeWeb – and events in general. He started off asking Le Meur about the online value of offline events.

Hin und zurück
Hin und zurück (Return) portraits several Mexican men that migrated to USA and that after the years decided to return. The reasons why they decided to go back to Mexico are different, some of them decided to return because of the economical crisis in USA, others decide to go back to their families having the expectation to start again. I worked centered on the concept of expectations and my main question to approach was to know the expectations they had about returning to Mexico. The project consist of a book, photography portraits and a series of "photographic films".
For the "photographic films" I use the format of photography through the language of film to create a new art of portrait. My intention was to create a contemplative image where the passing of time becomes the language of the portrait. This allows the spectator to be focus on the characters and in the movement of the details within the image. The audio context and a narration of their stories is included in the films.
Artist Book Hin und zurück (Return)
Hamburg, Germany 2010
C-Print 11 x 7,5 inch
The selection of photos made for this book portrays the people that went to "el otro lado" (U.S.A), their actual life in Mexico and the people that stayed expecting their return.

Role Analysis: our link to our day to day life
- Itroduction
- Modesty as a key in being altruistic
- Existing as a son
- Having a leadership role at my job
- Being a boy/girlfriend
- Being a good writer of fiction
- My role as a boyfriend
- Conclusion
The roles that a person plays in circles in society, in a family, in the workplace, or even while driving on the road are linked to each other and can have positive or adverse affects on each other. One situation or role where a person is encouraged behave in a negative manner can alter or totally nullify another situation or role where a person is encouraged to behave in a positive manner. The personality traits of that person can have an affect on how much of an impact role strain causes between roles. In this paper I will analyze my own personality traits, my most important roles, my overview of my level of performance in those roles, and how I feel those roles have and are affecting each other.
[...] This ideal can be applied to life in general. Shedding vanity in favor of modesty will ultimately leave a person more time to achieve their own ends. I would describe myself as being moral. Believing in a set of values, even when there are no immediate consequences apparent in acting contrary to them is very important to me. (And I believe it is important to most people, to a certain extent.) Respecting one's body, keeping away from excess (For example, excess drinking or eating.) are just a few examples of what morality is. [...]
[...] Some people may require even more work than I do; to write every single day and to read every single day. If I was asked whether or not I feel as though I am working hard and am well on my way to becoming a good writer, I would say yes, that I fulfill this role. If I was asked whether or not I have a mastery of the English language and all of its quirks, I would say no. [...]
[...] One day if you do not feel like writing, you don't have to. This is not true for a worker. As state above, one is required to show up when scheduled, and that schedule sometimes cannot be argued. One of the most important aspects of this conflict is the time required for both tasks. Being a writer is a fulltime job, as is being a worker. I find most often that my writing suffers when the workload at my job is very heavy. [...]

FORTRAN, in full Formula Translation, is a computer-programming language created in 1957 by John Backus that shortened the process of programming. This is a third generation programming language developed at IBM. Before this language programmers used Assembly language and Machine Code. So this language was a huge leap forward at it's time.
Language Review
Here is an historical video for introduction to FORTRAN. It's under 10 minutes long. I think you will enjoy to watch. I have no idea who has posted this but I have not created yet a video about FORTRAN so I will let you watch this instead.
Why FORTRAN?
Fortran is still used today by mathematicians and physicians. And why? The language is old but it was revised several times to accommodate with modern computers. There are reasons for Intel to provide optimized compiler for two languages: C++ and Fortran.
Main reasons are these:
- Performance
- Easy to learn
- Legacy code

Traditional International Payment Services to Send Money to India
If you want to send money to India, you will need the best exchange rates to India so that your family receives maximum of what you are sending.
It is difficult to decide which money transfer service to trust without the complete breakdown of pricing or service transparency. Be it a business that has to make thousands of payments globally every month or NRIs who want to send money to their family for personal reasons, it is necessary to choose the right mode of remittance. It is also important to check how much it will cost to get the money transferred to the intended recipient.
Only when the sender get competitive FX rates, the recipient in India will be able to get maximum of what is being sent. For instance, when you convert your currency (Dollars or Yen) into Indian currency, you will need the best exchange rates to India to ensure that after conversion the amount doesn't become too less.
Here are top three traditional services that you can use for international payments:
Did you know approximately 85% international remittances are carried out by banks? Banks are the most trusted remittance mode for thousands of money senders across the globe. This is because of the security factor. Even though it is expensive to send money to India through a bank, many people use this option because it is secure and also because they are not aware of other cost-effective remittance modes.
Banks levy significant fees on each transaction and this is what makes money transfers so expensive. From overseas bank receiving fees to flat rate transfer charges and obscure charges like Anti-money laundering costs, there is a lot that banks charge and this makes international remittance expensive. Since the transfer fees is high and the FX rates are not-so-competitive, you will not be able to save on your money transfers.
Money Transfer Agencies
As processing of an international remittance through a bank can take a couple of days, many people opt for remittance agencies or operators to send money quickly. Through these transfer operators, it becomes easy to send money within a matter of minutes; however, the cost is high. But when compared to a bank, you can still save money on the transfer fee charged by these operators. For instance, you can expect to pay anywhere between 7-12% for such services whereas in case of a bank, the cost can go up to 15%.
These operators don't charge a set fees and every transaction gets calculated on the basis of factors like branch, online payment, country to which the money is being sent, country of origin and so on.
Foreign Exchange Broker
The third traditional method of sending money overseas is through a foreign exchange broker. If you have to make a large transaction, you can expect better exchange rates from a foreign exchange broker as compared to a high street bank. Their fees is also 3-4% lower compared to banks. When choosing a broker for a large transaction, make sure you do some good research because not all exercise transparency in term of charges.

When this baby kangaroo was first brought into the world, tragedy struck. Hunters had ruined his life and taken his mother away from him. Then one day, everything changed and this orphaned kangaroo's life was never the same.
20. Jax
Jax was only a baby kangaroo when his mother was stolen away from him by hunters. A group of hunters had encircled them and sadly took away the life of his mother.
19. A Prize
To the hunters, Jax was a prize and they had just won the jackpot. The hunters used him as a toy that they would show off to anyone interested in looking. They treated Jax horribly as well.
18. Horrible Treatment
While Jax was in the hands of the hunters, he was treated absolutely horribly. They would showcase him like a trophy and poor Jax would often go days without eating. It was a sad situation.
17. Improper Care
Overall, the men treated Jax with no regard to his life. He was treated like a toy and the men didn't care to make sure that he cared for properly. Then one day, something amazing happened.
16. Facebook
Then one day something happened that would change Jax's life forever. Joslyn Van Nieuwkerk, a volunteer with a local rehabilitation center, saw a Facebook post about Jax.
15. Intervening
Van Nieuwkerk was deeply troubled by what she saw and it resonated deeply with her. She decided that she couldn't sit idly by and allow this poor mistreatment of Jax to continue any longer.
14. Police
So Van Nieuwkerk headed to the police station immediately and presented them with her case. She showed them all evidence that Jax was being treated horribly that he was being abused by the hunters.
13. Taking Action
The police took the evidence into consideration and went over to the location where Jax was being held with Van Nieuwkerk in tow. Van Nieuwkerk demanded that the men hand Jax over right away.
12. Shocked
Van Nieuwkerk was shocked when she finally saw Jax in person. He looked worse than she had imagined and the poor thing was in terrible condition. It was all so heartbreaking.
11. Emergency Care
Van Nieuwkerk promptly brought Jax over to the emergency care so that he could be looked over and treated. He was so weak that Van Nieuwkerk worried that she might have been too late…
10. Dehydrated
"When we got him, he had not been fed for 48 hours and was very cold and in terrible condition, weighing just 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds)," Van Nieuwkerk told The Dodo. "He was so dehydrated that his skin was peeling."
9. Foster Home
When Jax was finally brought to his foster home he was so tiny, weak, and frail. He was also incredibly distrusting of humans, since the only experiences he had with them had been so terrible.
8. Scared
Jax was very scared and it took him a long time to come out of his shell. However, after some more time passed, he began to show more and more of his personality.
7. Personality
Soon Jax was hopping around and exploring all throughout his foster home without a problem. He would also enjoy spending time with his rescuers whenever he got a chance to!
6. Healthier
"He has been nursed back to health with lots of love and care," Van Nieuwkerk said. "He is getting stronger every day! [Jax] is doing a lot better now but he has a very long way to go."
5. Rehab Center
Since Jax's recovery process will take some time, he has recently been moved back to the local rehabilitation center. This will ensure that he gets whatever medical treatment he needs as soon as possible.
4. Returning
Once Jax begins to show signs of getting better he will be moved back into his foster home with Van Nieuwkerk. Van Nieuwkerk is excited to have Jax back at home with her.
3. Into The Wild
Once Jax is old enough and healthy enough, he will be rereleased back into the wild. This will ensure that he is back to where he belongs.
2. Attention
For now, until he is old enough, Jax will receive all of the love and attention that he needs to get bigger and stronger. This will ensure that he grows up to be a healthy kangaroo.
1. Second Chance
Jax has been lucky enough to receive a second chance at life. Thanks to Van Nieuwkerk, Jax is getting tons of love, support, and medical attention that he otherwise would have never gotten.

The unstoppable Vintage & Morelli presents "Desire," the third single from his debut artist album, "My Rose Enchanted Destiny." A truly exhilarating track, "Desire" centers on an emotive, trance-influenced chord progression, which patiently evolve into an anthemic lead. Meanwhile, the titular vocal hook only enhances the emotional soundscape. Rounding out this single, global progressive house and trance icons Dezza (Canada) and Blugazer (USA) offer their own club-friendly, yet truly inspired interpretations.
Download or Stream: http://silkmusic.lnk.to/SILKM059
Blugazer, whose virtuosic compositions over the years have traversed all shades of progressive, provides a deep and imaginative take on the original. A variety of the original themes are present in his elaborate soundscape, yet it's the overall atmosphere of this production that captivates the listener. Blugazer once again crafts a sensual, "escapist" arrangement, into which the listener immediately sinks and, ultimately, doesn't exit until long after the song's conclusion.

•Doctors demand rapid response
•Lagos Speaker advises residents
Minister of Health Prof. Isaac Adewole has called for an emergency National Council on Health meeting today, as part of efforts at containing the outbreak of Lassa fever.
The meeting will focus on how best to deal with the disease, which seems to be spreading fast.
Health commissioners and chief medical directors (CMDs)/medical directors (MDs) of tertiary health facilities are expected to attend the meeting at the Rotunda Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
About 50 persons have died of the killer-disease in the country since its outbreak in August 2015. As at the weekend, more than half of the country had experienced an outbreak of the disease.
The meeting, according to a statement by the ministry's Director of Media/Public Relations, Mrs. Boade Akintola, will also witness the inauguration of the National Lassa Fever Action Committee.
The minister blamed the failure of early notification for the high mortality rate recorded by the country.
Prof. Adewole noted that it was failure of the notification system that made it impossible for the ministry to respond promptly to the situation in Niger State, reiterating that the Federal Government's mission and mandate in the health sector was to keep Nigerians safe.
Also yesterday, the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) called on government to improve response mechanism to ensure rapid response to disease outbreaks.
NARD's President Dr. Muhammad Askira made the call at a news conference yesterday in Abuja.
Askira said the disease had claimed 43 lives in 10 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
He decried the emergency response arrangement set up by the government to tackle outbreaks of disease.
Askira said such outbreaks did not require ad hoc arrangements or committees, "rather, there should be a strategy to cushion the effect in any emergency or epidemic situation".
According to him, astrategy would reduce the death toll arising from such cases.
He explained that there should be well structured strategies from the governments to ensure that prompt attention was given to such situations.
"There should be on ground well-structured strategic system from governments, from the primary health care level to tertiary health care, whereby the team is on alert for prompt and effective response to this type of epidemic.
"We should not wait until there is an outbreak before we start rushing to address the epidemic.
"This involves a lot of logistics, which comes from the society, health care providers and the government itself.
"It can be in the form of financing, appropriate equipment and facilities, well and adequately trained manpower to handle suspected and confirmed cases, and so on.
"So whenever these are not adequate or properly applied, we have pockets and periods of epidemic of this nature,'' he said.
On the death toll being higher than the case of Ebola, Askira said the rodent transmitting the virus was endemic, while Ebola was imported to the country.
Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa yesterday appealed to Lagosians to keep their houses and surroundings clean and ensure they eat well-prepared food.
Obasa's admonition came on the heels of the confirmation of a reported case of Lassa fever infection in the state.
The Speaker, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Musbau Rasak, urged Lagosians to remain calm since the state government has put its health workers on the alert.
He added that the state also possessed the medical institutions and equipment to tackle the disease.
Obasa urged doctors, nurses and other medical personnel to brace themselves for the challenge posed by the disease, noting that their swiftness in arresting the scourge would allay fears among the people.
Also yesterday, Environmental Health Officers Association of Nigeria (EHOAN) yesterday vowed to prevent spread of Lassa fever by ridding Lagos of rodents.
Its Lagos chapter President, Samuel Akingbehin, said the exercise would begin tomorrow.
The group said proactive and preventive actions were needed to be taken.
"It is scientifically proven that these rodents harbour the Lassa fever virus and spread it by their body fluids on foodstuffs and food items, surfaces, beddings, clothing, furniture etc," it said.
The group said it would embark on daily environmental exercise on a "one local government per day basis with attention on markets, schools, and hospitals with a view to reducing rat infestation, thereby reducing the chances of Lassa fever spread in Lagos".
In an effort to contain any outbreak of Lassa fever in Abia State, the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, has said it would start the construction of additional isolation centre to take care of patients.
During a sensitisation campaign organised by its Department of Community Medicine, Chief Medical Director Dr. Abali Chuku said the additional isolation centre was part of the hospital's plans to handle such cases.

Quote:ATSB INVESTIGATING VIRGIN AUSTRALIA ATR 72 ENGINE FLAME-OUT INCIDENT
written by Australianaviation.Com.Au December 18, 2018

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) says it is investigating an incident involving a Virgin Australia ATR 72 where both engines on the regional turboprop airliner flamed out, one after the other, while flying in heavy rain.
The incident near Canberra airport involved ATR 72-600 VH-FVN while on a flight from Sydney, the ATSB said on Monday afternoon.
"While the aircraft was descending through 11,000ft in heavy rain, the right engine's power rolled back (decreased) and the engine flamed out. The engine automatically re-started within five seconds," the ATSB said.
"The descent continued and, while passing through 10,000ft, the left engine's power also rolled back and that engine flamed out before automatically relighting. The crew selected manual engine ignition for the remainder of the flight and the landing."
The aircraft landed safely without further incident, but the flight tracking website flightaware.com shows VH-FVN remained on the ground in Canberra for the following three days, before returning to service operating a flight to Sydney on Monday morning...

The ATSB is investigating an engine-related occurrence involving ATR 72-600, VH-FVN, near Canberra Airport, Australian Capital Territory, on 13 December 2018.
While the aircraft was descending through 11,000 ft in heavy rain, the right engine's power rolled back (decreased) and the engine flamed out. The engine automatically re-started within five seconds. The descent continued and, while passing through 10,000 ft, the left engine's power also rolled back and that engine flamed out before automatically relighting. The crew selected manual engine ignition for the remainder of the flight and the landing.
As part of the investigation, the ATSB has downloaded the flight data recorder and will be gathering additional information.
A final report will be released at the end of the investigation.
Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant parties so appropriate action can be taken.
Hmm...that 2nd one I would definitely like to see a weather radar depiction of the storm cell that could create a heavy enough rain shower to flame out both engines? - just saying...

Quote:Virgin Australia explains why thunderstorms impact flights so much
Nothing frustrates us more than a delayed flight, and lately we've had plenty. Now Virgin Australia explains why they have to happen.
Lauren McMah @lauren_mcmah news.com.au
Australians have been reminded lately how a spot of bad weather can send air travel into total meltdown.
Wild storms in Sydney in late November caused massive delays and cancellations that left thousands of passengers stranded, initially in Sydney and then with a ripple effect across the national network.
It came just a week after wild winds in Sydney made it difficult for planes to take off and land, delaying domestic and international travellers for hours.
And with the arrival of Australia's summer storm season threatening more chaos, Virgin Australia has explained exactly why, and how, thunderstorms cause flights to be delayed.
The airline has released a video with expert commentary from a pilot, air traffic controller, meteorologist and other experts to explain why the difficult decision to delay flights is made.
"Thunderstorms are a very significant issue for airlines and can be very dangerous weather events," Virgin Australia meteorologist Manfred Greitschus said.

"Depending on the severity of the storm, it has the potential to influence the way we plan flights to avoid flying through any dangerous storm cells.
"When thunderstorms are producing lightening within eight kilometres of an airport, we need to shut down operations on the ramp and this can cause delayed or cancelled flights."
The video explains how operations will not only be affected by storms at the airport of departure or arrival, but storms that may be encountered en route.
And as airlines like Virgin Australia maintain complex schedule for planes, a storm disrupting one route can trigger delays across the grid.
"The ripple effect can be significant," Virgin Australia's OCC duty manager Damien Vezzoli said.

"If we take off out of Melbourne, for example, (the aircraft) may not necessarily be going back to Melbourne. It may go Melbourne to Coolangatta and then on to Sydney and then onto Townsville, so that will obviously have an impact down the line."
Airservices Australia air traffic controller Stefan Burroughs explained how the decision is made to ground flights in storms.
"During a storm event aircraft will deviate from their normal treks and this has an effect on us where we can only accept so many aircraft to arrive and depart," he said.
"And it's better to keep aircraft on the ground and it's a lot safer for the aircraft and for the passengers.
The safety of passengers is the number one concern. Picture: Virgin AustraliaSource:Supplied
"When there is a storm event we work with the airlines to discuss options and what we have is a ground delay program when we can recalculate time of departures to facilitate better departure rates and arrival rates to try and minimise delays. This is done via our National Co-ordination Centre in Canberra and via all the major city airports."
Virgin Australia's customer disruption controller, Cameron Todd, said any planned or foreseeable delays to flights were communicated to passengers via text and email.
"It's really important to us to be able to get in touch with you as quickly as possible," he said. "What helps us do that is having your most up-to-date contact information."

The video on how thunderstorms affect flights is part of a series from Virgin Australia that explain behind-the-scenes decisions that affect passengers' travel plans.
"We understand that cancellations and delays are very frustrating but we want guests to know that their safety is most important to us," the airline's general manager of network operations Andrew Lillyman said.
"We're hoping these videos will also provide the public with some information about what happens behind the scenes and why we make the decisions we do."
What's important for passengers to remember is delays or cancellations caused by weather are considered outside an airline's control, which means travel insurance may not cover any costs associated with changed travel plans.

Vampyroteuthis infernalis or the "vampire squid from Hell" is likely one of the coolest denizens of the deep. At one-foot long (You thought it was bigger didn't you?) the fire-y colored invertebrates are also completely covered in light-producing photophores. Despite the hellish name, they are not ferocious predators but rather feed by dropping two retractile filaments down to capture small bits of material and small invertebrates. Residing at depths between 500-1000 meters, Vampire Squids are often found as lone drifters in the blacky depths.
Despite the name, however, Vampire Squids are not really squids. They are more closely evolutionarily allied with octopods, but they aren't really…

Videos from the Great American BBQ & Beer Festival >> in Chandler have been posted to the zBORED YouTube channel. This past Saturday's festival was full of the obvious barbecued food and beer galore along with a quadruple treat of ska & punk bands that ruled the genre back in the day.
The day of skankin' and drankin' kicked off with Buck-O-Nine doing a 45 minute set that finished with 'My Town'. Then Voodooo Glow Skulls took stage for another set of uber-nostalgic skapunk [btw, although The EDGE/X 1o3.9 is no more you'll be happy to know that Ska Punk radio with Gadger is still alive online and in-app via Live365] which included my favorite song of theirs 'Say Goodnight'.
Next up was Goldfinger who I haven't seen in concert since their last Arizona show at The Nile in Mesa back in 2001. They gave a shout out to the peeps who were at that show and based on crowd's response there were a lot of us Nile attendees present on Saturday. Not surprisingly, frontman John Feldmann orchestrated many a strange diatribe and antics aplenty that included stopping during 'Miles Away' to attempt having a crowd member eat a Twinkie out of drummer Darren's Coconut Ass. Apparently they've done this at other shows but with the number of old punks' kids around and police officers surrounding he decided avoid trouble with the law and chug a beer from another fan's smelly shoe instead. Check out the shenanigans in the video below.
Finally, the headlining Face To Face jumped into their set as dusk fell which included a 3-song encore. Pits formed from the get go and punk rockers united to enjoy a set that was a million times better than their reunion tour show last summer at The Nile. They played songs old and new but my favorites were the ones that took me way back like 'I'm Trying' and 'Disconnected'.
The band flew into Phoenix just for this show. We got to chat with frontman Trevor Keith after the show about always loving to play the desert. It's the first place they played when they first started to tour nearly two decades ago and the fans are true punks. The sunny weather was spectacular, the food was delectable, the beer was refreshing and the music was reminiscent of the good ol' days when high school, skating and house parties were standard in life's agenda.
Face To Face is doing an acoustic set at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix on April 13th. It should be a good show at my favorite venue in town.

While allowing for an unprecedented view of our planet, Google Earth has observed a number of locations around the world that were deemed too secret to share with users.
Rather than the crisp overhead view that one normally sees from the service, these sites are presented as blurred or pixelated images.
What is puzzling is that many of the censored sites are seemingly benign places, spawning conspiracy theories that there is more than meets the eye at these locations.
An oil refinery in Hungary, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, and a major city in the Philippines are among the places that Google Earth inexplicably cannot show us.
One particularly bizarre location is a Russian city in Siberia which is rendered as a giant blur by the service, leading many to conclude that something sinister may be afoot there.
Researchers suggest that many of these locations are the sites of secret military installations or research projects and, thus, their home countries have had Google Earth obscure them from view.
This theory is bolstered by the fact that sites like HAARP and an air force base in Utah where weapons tests are conducted are among the American locations on the service's blacklist.
Whatever may be happening at these locations remains open to speculation and debate, but, ironically enough, by virtue of obscuring them from view on Google Earth, the 'powers that be' have only really succeeded in creating even greater interest in the mysterious sites.
