The Colorado Avalanche made the biggest swap of July 1st just as fans assumed everything was starting to settle down, sending cornerstone defender Tyson Barrie and up-and-coming forward Alex Kerfoot to the Toronto Maple Leafs for elite antagonizing center Nazem Kadri and defender Calle Rosen.
Leafs acquire Barrie, Kerfoot, and 6th in 2020. Going to Avs is Kadri, Rosen, 3rd in 2020. Colorado retains 50% of Barrie's $5.5 million salary.— John Matisz (@MatiszJohn) July 1, 2019
Also included in the deal are a 2020 6th round pick heading to Toronto, while the Avalanche are receiving a 2020 3rd round pick and retaining 50% of Tyson Barrie’s salary.
The deal comes in the wake of months — even years, it seems — of rumors surrounding Barrie on the trading block. The return brings in a less-desirable defender in Rosen, who spent the majority of the 2018-19 season in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies, but gives the Avalanche a significant upgrade down the middle with the acquisition of Kadri.
Drafted 7th overall by the Leafs in 2009, Nazem Kadri has long been one of the most mercurial players in the NHL. His off-ice antics have been shrouded in mystery for years, but resulted in a team-delivered suspension at one point during the 2014-15 season. And his on-ice antics have resulted in six collective suspensions and a fine over the course of his NHL career for everything from boarding to illegal hits to the head.
Despite his controversial headline-making ability, though, the 28-year-old London, Ontario native brings an impressive command of the game to the table as well. He’s hit the 20-goal mark three times and the 30-goal mark twice, racking up 161 goals and 357 points through 561 career NHL games. He’s the seventh-highest scoring player in his draft class, despite playing as a third line center for the last handful of years while the Leafs brought on Auston Matthews and John Tavares.
For the Avalanche, his two-way presence coupled with scoring ability give them an even better replacement for Carl Soderberg, who was shipped off to the Arizona Coyotes earlier this off-season. While Colorado did bring on Pierre-Edouard Bellemare earlier in the day on July 1st, the comparable between himself and Kadri isn’t even close; Kadri’s ability to play in all situations and score as much as he defends have earned him two Selke votes during his career and plenty of responsibility as he’s shuffled up and down the depth chart.
The Avalanche still need to address the contract extension for Mikko Rantanen — and now have Andre Burakovsky’s extension to consider, as well — but the team is still sitting pretty cap-wise. They have a little over $27 million in cap space to work with, and the cost-friendly deal that Kadri is on should help them tremendously moving forward (even while holding on to some of Barrie’s salary for this year).
If you want Toronto’s perspective on the trade, Hardev wrote the trade article over at Pension Plan Puppets. Go give it a peak, I hear they’re writing a big feature on Kadri right now.

[This is my column from the Dec. 12 issue of The Commercial Review.]
“What are they going to do next, you can’t break up a double play? You’re not allowed to pitch inside. The hitters wear more armor than the Humvees in Afghanistan.”
The above quote is from Pete Rose, Major League Baseball’s all-time leader in hits. Rose was commenting on the proposed rule change by the MLB to ban collisions at home plate.
Under the proposed rule: catchers will not be allowed to block home plate; runners will not be permitted to target catchers; questions on blocking and targeting will be reviewable, violations will be subject to discipline.
“Now you’re not allowed to be safe at home plate?” Rose added. “What’s the game coming to? Evidently the guys making these rules never played the game of baseball.”
The MLB rules committee is hoping for the rule to be in place for the 2014 season, but it must be approved by the players’ union in order to go into effect next season.
Rose has a point.
Players like him, George Brett and Ty Cobb left everything on the field in order to win. If they had to bowl over a catcher to score a run, so be it. It was part of the game when they played, and still is today.
To this baseball fan the rule initially felt like a step in the wrong direction for the league, which has struggled to sustain its fan base through the steroid allegations.
But after reading more than just headlines, the proposed rule is starting to make sense.
When the safety of players is jeopardized by allowing collisions at the plate, the game can —and should — be changed.
Baseball players make hundreds of millions of dollars, and the organizations that pay them see the individuals as investments.
When those costly investments are not able to contribute because of a preventable injury, it makes sense to outlaw the impact at home plate.
Take San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, for example.
In 2011, Posey broke his leg and tore ligaments in his ankle after being hit at home plate by Scott Cousins of the Florida Marlins (now the Miami Marlins).
Posey, who only made $575,000 when he was injured but now makes $18.2 million per year, missed the remaining 117 games of the 2011 season.
Last year, Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila spent time on the disabled list with a strained knee after a collision at the plate.
Granted, Avila earns 16 percent of Posey’s contract ($2.95 million), he is still seen as an investment, and when he’s not on the field for the Tigers he cannot do his job.
The NFL is making changes to its sport to increase player safety, and while there aren’t nearly as many serious injuries in baseball as football, it is good to see the MLB doing what it can to protect its players.
After all, player safety is of the utmost importance.

The emerging architecture of Software-defined Networking (SDN) is effectively addressing the cost demands and high bandwidth requirements of enterprises. This architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions, enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services. With this functionality on-board, SDN is being implemented globally for accelerating application deployment while reducing IT costs through policy-enabled workflow automation. It also provides a complete view of the network for the administrators in a single screen through centrally managed controllers.
Additionally, SDN makes it easy for enterprises to support latest technologies like mobility, cloud computing, big data, and IoT that seek high performing and high availability networks. This has led enterprises’ shift to SDN from traditional methodologies of networking to prosper in a dynamic market place.
In the last few months, we have analyzed hundreds of SDN solution providers and shortlisted the companies that are at the forefront of tackling challenges in this arena. A distinguished panel comprising of CEOs, CIOs and analysts including Enterprise Networking Mag's editorial board has selected the final list of Top 10 SDN Solution Providers of 2016.
The listing provides a look into how solutions for networking sector are put into use, so that you can gain a comprehensive understanding of solutions which are right for you and how they can help you in optimizing the business process.

Anika – the project of Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson – shares the new single/video, “Rights,” from Change (Sacred Bones/Invada), her first new album in over a decade, out July 23rd. Following “Change” and “Finger Pies,” “Rights” drones with Anika’s beautifully plaintive voice and oscillating percussion. In her words, the song is about “turning the tables, giving power to those who normally feel disempowered. This song is about unification not division. This song is about female (/queer/non-binary/marginalized communities) empowerment – the joining of forces, not pitted against each other. This song is about wanting to escape reality but then we can never truly escape it, it will always be there to collect its dues. We can only ever achieve temporary escape. The better option is to bring whatever we want into reality.” During the song’s peak, Anika chants encouragingly: “Feel the power // feel the power // show me power.”
The accompanying video, directed by Anika and Sabrina Labis, features Anika and Mueran Humanos’s Carmen Burguess. The video toggles between the virtual and real worlds, playing with the ideas of dreams and displacement and seeking places of empowerment. Anika elaborates: “At the end of the video, the memory of the feelings, the knowledge that it was possible, remained, that is enough to start bringing it into our own life. We all have rights.” Co-director Sabrina Labis adds: “Making videos is my way to feel power. The power of changing perspectives, escaping conservative structures, and landing on a very close and free power-planet where everything is possible. Press play, take off, and enjoy.

AUTHOR OF “EX MISTRESS”!
MONA LISA SMILE OF BEAUTIFUL STAR Blonde Joan Climbs OF “NIGHT NURSE” REASON FOR HER) Merrily Starward
UNFAILING CHARM, SAYS BIG BEN LYON
Barbara Stanwyck’s Magnetic Personality Analyzed By Her Leading Man, In Warner Bros. Thrilling Romance, Now Drawing Record
Crowds To The Strand
(Biographical Feature—Plant in No. 2 Sunday Paper)
“The longer I work in pictures, the less I know the leading women I play with,” said Ben Lyon in answer to a query as to Barbara Stanwyck, opposite whom he appears in Warner Bros. thrilling modern romance “Night Nurse” now at the........
“There is really little time on the set to get acquainted,” Ben went on. “Acting is a matter of continuous work, either before the camera or in rehearsal of lines and action.
“Hardly any time is allowed us for other than the passing of the usual pleasantries about the weather and the state of our health. Even when I appeared with my wife, Bebe Daniels, in ‘My Past’ we really didn’t get a chance to get chummy until we were out of the studio and on the way home.”
Ben—the hero of ‘Wings”’—has been in pictures for eight years. Though during that time has played opposite enough leading women to constitute a Who’s Who of the profession, he confesses that he knows few of them now—while others whom the screen public have seen nestled lovingly in his arms, he would not even recognize if he passed them on the street.
“The meeting of male and female leads in a picture usually takes place in the following manner: I reported promptly at eight-thirty the morning I was to begin work on “Night Nurse.” Barbara Stanwyck was there, seated chair going over her lines. Director William Wellman went over my first scene with me and then, in a sort of nonchalant manner, took me to the star and introduced us. She ack
“ brief smile and nod.
“Ten minutes later we were clasped passionately in each other’s embrace—before the camera. “Three weeks after that our acquaintance had not progressed much beyond the nod-and-smile stage.”
But that doesn’t prevent Ben from having some very definite opinions regarding Barbara Stanwyck. He found a certain coolness in her that disconcerted him at first, he says, and interpreted it as aloofness, an illusion soon dispelled.
“She speaks very little when out of a scene. Her manner is easy, unruffled. She glides into a scene with hardly a change of manner and does her best acting without the slightest trace of strain. More than anything else, this quality in_ her, gave me confidence in myself. Unconsciously, I found myself drifting along with her mood into a natural, sustained style and acting.
“Miss Stanwyck seems to influence everyone in the same way. After I had worked with her for a few days, I could not understand why I had thought her upstage. In many little things, especially her consideration for those working with her—I found her very human.
“For several days I was disturbed by something vaguely familiar about her, but try as I would I could not place it. There was an intangible aura of mystery—of placid secrecy— which I knew I had encountered before.
“When I knew she was not watching me, I tried to discover what it was that struck me as though I had known her all my life. One day it came to me suddenly. There is a perpetual halfsmile hovering about the corners of her lips. It is barely perceptible at times, yet always there. My attention was riveted to the smile, and I felt that here was the answer to the riddle. I was right.
“The answer was so obvious as to escape detection, her faint, baffling smile, is probably the closest to Mona Lisa that has ever been found in a human being since Leonardo da Vinci created his masterpiece.”
Others who support Miss Stanwyck in “Night Nurse” are Joan Blondel!, Charles Winninger, Charlotte Merriam, Edward Nugent, Allan Lane, Blanche Friderici, Vera Lewis, Ralf Harolde, Clarke Gable, Walter McGrail, Betty May, Marcia Mae Jones and Betty Jane Graham. William A. Wellman, who directed Ben Lyon in “Wings” directs “Night Nurse.”

WhatLife Had In Store ForBarbaraStanwyck “Night Nurse” Star
(Biography, June 1, 1931)
Barbara Stanwyck now at the See per Theatre as the star of Warner Bros. “Night Nurse” got her real start in the theatrical world by impersonating Louis Wolheim as the “Hairy Ape” at the Globe Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.
Miss Stanwyck was born in Brooklyn and from the time she was a little girl dancing attracted her. She never lost an opportunity to learn and execute new steps. When she was sixteen she somehow managed to convince the chorus master at the Strand Cabaret that she could trip the light fantastic and he gave her an opportunity and she made good. A chorus engagement in the musical show “Keep Cool” followed.
It was during the run of “Keep Cool” at the Globe Theatre, that Miss Stanwyck first received recognition. She and five other girls were picked to do imitations of the principals. Barbara’s bit was to impersonate Louis Wolheim as the “Hairy Ape.” She did the part so well that Ziegfeld, who eventually bought the entire production of ‘Keep Cool,” kept her in his “Follies” for two seasons. This was followed by another period of dancing in New York cabarets, including the Club Anatole, and an en

Quinoa is one of those foods I find to be most misunderstood. People either don’t know how to eat it or how to cook it. I love quinoa, and we eat it at least once a week. Native to South America, it is a fantastic wheat-free alternative that’s a complete protein grain. A very good source of calcium, magnesium and manganese, quinoa also possesses good levels of several B vitamins, vitamin E and dietary fiber. Quinoa can be used in soups, bread, and porridge; and it can be substituted for rice and barley.
When cooked, it has a slightly bitter taste, which I think can be off-putting for some. But my tip is to bring quinoa to a boil in water, then drain and wash the quinoa before cooking it again in fresh water. This method will remove the bitter taste and, instead, produce a nutty flavor. You know quinoa is finished cooking when it fluffs up and releases something that looks like a tiny tail.
One of my kids’ favorite ways to eat quinoa is in this Mexican dish I found on Pinterest. It’s very filling and satisfying, and I serve it with corn tortillas, salsa and guacamole. I love it because it’s a one-pan wonder☺
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 stalk Celery, diced
- 1 small Carrot, diced
- 2 Spring Onions, chopped
- 4 Jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1¼ cups Uncooked Quinoa, rinsed well and drained
- 1¼ cups Vegetable Broth
- 2 cups of cooked Black Beans or one 15 oz. can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can Diced Tomatoes, with juice
- 1 cup Frozen Corn
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh Cilantro
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- Juice of 1 Lime
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the garlic, celery, carrot, spring onion and jalapeños, and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the quinoa, broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 20-25 minutes, until the liquid is fully absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, spinach and lime juice. Season to taste.

Nordstrom Rack has issued an apology after employees allegedly called the police and falsely accused three black teens of shoplifting.
The teenagers – Mekhi Lee, Dirone Taylor and Eric Rogers II — were shopping for prom clothes at the discount fashion retailer in St. Louis, Miss., on Thursday, when they said employees started following them.
"I was nervous the whole time," said Lee to KMOV. "Every time we moved, they moved. When we looked up, they looked up.”
While in the store, the three said they were also harassed by a customer who allegedly called them "punks" and asked, “Are your parents proud of you for what you do?” KMOV reported.
An altercation then broke out amomg the three and that customer, they said.
When the teenagers finally left the Nordstrom Rack, they said the police were waiting for them in the parking lot. They allegedly told the students the shop had called and accused them of theft, KMOV reported.
"The police were actually good. They understood where we were coming from and they showed us that they were just doing their job," said Rogers to KMOV.
Chief Joseph Spiess of the Brentwood Police Department told CNN the responding officers re-broadcast the store’s phone call for the three “so that the teens could hear the reports, which really helped. They got it.”
After an investigation, the police let the three teenagers go without charges.
Rogers said the group did have items from the store — but only ones they had purchased.
"We made the purchase to show them that we're equal and we didn't have to steal anything," said Rogers.
“The success story here on our end — [was that] the officers really let these kids talk, the officers figured out they weren’t stealing, they had receipts for what they had,” said Spiess. “Police then talked to the Nordstrom Rack people and explained there was no crime.”
The company said in a statement that their protocol had not been properly followed and resulted in the police being called without need.
“Recently there was a situation in one of our Rack stores that resulted in our employees calling the police. We have guidelines that direct our employees to only call the police in emergency situations. Unfortunately, those guidelines weren’t followed.
"I also want to thank the young men for their poise in dealing with local law enforcement and the police themselves for handling the situation professionally."
As soon as store executives became aware of the incident, Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack, reached out personally to each of the impacted families.
He even flew to St. Louis to personally apologize to each of the boys and families affected.
“I feel fortunate to have met these young men and their families. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to their concerns and offer our sincere apologies on behalf of Nordstrom,” he said in a statement to Fox News.
“I also want to thank the young men for their poise in dealing with local law enforcement and the police themselves for handling the situation professionally.
“We want to make sure we have a full understanding of the situation. We are conducting a thorough internal investigation of the actions taken by our employees and are moving quickly to understand where we have opportunities to improve and take action. We are committed to ensuring our processes and guidelines are well understood by our employees, and identifying opportunities to enhance the training and resources we offer them,” he continued.
According to KMOV, the St. Louis NAACP is getting involved and wants to work with Nordstrom Rack’s president about employee training.

Get your pencils and start… developing – useful design templates for iPhone, Android, Web apps!
I’ve done a tiny bit of research to find nice templates, but the best one I found was by accident, while I was looking for something completely different on iPhone Dev Tips blog. The link was to a Russian redirection service, which took you to a PDF on Google Docs – look here, but if it’s not there anymore, I made a mirror just for you!
iPhone Design Templates – Download
My favorite. Simple, couple layouts, I think most interesting are the first one and the last one, which can work as a flow diagram. The original “single” iPhone wireframe picture can be found here.
Android Design Templates – Download
The funny thing about Android is that there so many different devices! Well, this PDF covers the most. Grab it while it’s hot. Source: neurosoftware.ro
Mostly Web, iPhone, iPad and many more freebies – See here
10 free printable design wireframe templates. I used to just grab a screenshot of Firefox on an empty page, print it and draw, but this is pretty neat.
Yet another iPhone Design Template – See here
Very nice looking, with extra space for notes, title, page numbers. Probably better, if you want to share your designs and want all the explanations there. Not the best, if you want to draw a lot of different views or you are experimenting – take the first template instead.

We have tried about everything....loved it all! I can't say enough...truly a rare find. The place is tucked away on the backside of a building, very unassuming. But the food makes up for it ten fold. Very flavorful and fresh every time. If you want to heat it up, trust me, she cam spice it up a lot! Best thai food I have had.
As for the picture of the inside another reviewer posted....not the inside of this place. It is very modest and small. Maybe 5 or 6 tables.
Worth the wait...and the scavenger hunt to find it!

Presentation on theme: "1 Cadastre of real estates of the Czech Republic = collection of data about real estates (a list of real estates and their description, geometric and positional."— Presentation transcript:
1 Cadastre of real estates of the Czech Republic = collection of data about real estates (a list of real estates and their description, geometric and positional determination of real estates). Registration of property rights and other rights relating to the real estates (mortgage on a real estate, leasehold, easement) is also a part of the cadastre of real estates.
2 History of the cadastre of real estates reason of the creation – the cadastre is a base for assessment of taxes 1817 – stable cadastre in Austrian Empire, ground for the current registration of real estates 1927 – cadastre of lands geodetic control (fixed points whose coordinates or heights are known) is measured more accurately
3 Property register was established and the registration of property rights was constitutive = legal effects of contracts come into existence after recording to the property register. 1950 – constitutive character of the property register was cancelled (legal effects started up by signature of the contract), the owner of a real estate was allowed to decide whether he wanted to record his property right to the property register. Therefore a discrepancy between the cadastre of lands and the actual situation was caused by that.
4 1956 – uniform real estate registry Nature of land use and actual users were registered for particular plots. The registration was not related to the property rights. 1964 – real estate registry Records to the property register were stopped, the property rights to the plots which were consolidated were not registered. 1992 – cadastre of real estates The constitutive character was restored – legal effects of contracts come into existence after recording to the cadastre of real estates.
5 Essential terms Real estate = a plot or a construction which is connected to the ground by foundations. Plot = a part of the Earth surface which is separated from other plots by a boundary (e.g. property boundary, boundary of agricultural use). Nature of land use = purpose of use which is determined by rules, the purpose is obligatory (e.g. arable land, meadow, built-up area).
6 Land parcel = image of a plot in the cadastral map, it is marked by a plot number. Cadastral map = large scale map where the planimetry of all real estates is displayed. Plots are marked by plot numbers and by map symbols of nature of land use. Cadastral district = set of real estates from a particular place. It is marked by a number and a title (usually title of the village or the town).
7 Cadastral documentation: 1. file of survey data = cadastral map and its numeric data (coordinates of all break points of parcels) which enable a display of the map and creation of a digital cadastral map. 2. file of descriptive information = descriptive information about real estates (e.g. owner, leaseholder, plot numbers). 3. collection of documents = contracts and other documents used for a record of a right to the cadastre of real estates.
8 Recors of property rights and other rights relating to real estates to the cadastre Rights recorded to the cadastre of real estates: property right, mortgage, right of refusal, easement (of access usually), right to use a real estate permanently, lease of agricultural and forest plots (for longer time than 5 years). Easement – a limitation of the real estates owner. E.g. there is a duty to allow a way through the plot for a neighbour.
9 Entry of the rights in the cadastre: 1. contribution in the cadastre The cadastral office decides the contribution according to the contracts about a right to the real estate (e.g. contract of sale). 2. recording in the cadastre A right to the real estate which is caused by a decision of a court or a construction administration is recorded to the cadastre by this way.
10 3. note in the cadastre A right to the real estate is not changed by the note in the cadastre. E.g. an announcement of a judicial sale, a declaration of insolvency or an announcement of a court about opening of the trial concerning the real estate is recorded to the cadastre by this way.
11 Standards of a record of the rights to real estates in the cadastre 1.A right to the real estate originates the day when the contribution in the cadastre is accomplished (constitutive character of the cadastre). 2. Everybody who behaves according to information in the cadastre is protected even if the information is not true. 3. Cadastre of real estate is public, everybody is allowed to see the data of the cadastre. 4. The order of contributions in the cadastre is in agreement with the time when proposal for the contribution is delivered to the cadastral office.
12 Survey sketch if an object of the contribution in the cadastre is to be displayed in the cadastral map, a survey sketch has to be realized an alteration to the cadastral map can be made only on the basis of realized survey sketch survey sketch is a part of the collection of documents survey sketches are mainly realized by geodetic private companies
13 Survey sketch is realized in these cases: change of a real property boundary or of a boundary of the cadastral district or of a boundary of nature of land use, new construction which is a real estate easement which is established only at a part of a plot setting out of a plot boundary which has not been displayed in the cadastral map yet
14 Parts of a survey sketch: descriptive part information about the author of the survey sketch and the area where the survey sketch was realized, proof of authentification of the survey sketch (an authorized surveying engineer can deliver this proof), authentication of the survey sketch (a cadastral office authenticates survey sketches) graphic display copy or blow-up of the cadastral map with drawing of the situation before and after the change documentary registry of areas present and new areas of plots
16 Survey sketch is used for: change of a right to the real estate, final building approvals, change of a boundary of the cadastral district or change of a boundary of nature of land use
17 Ordering of geodetic service in the Czech Republic 1. state administration body (executive agency)
18 COSMC = autonomous supreme body of the state administration of surveying, mapping and cadastre. RIGTC – research and international cooperation in geodesy, cartography and cadastre. CO (CW) – complete administration of the cadastre. LSO – maintenance and modernisation of fundamental geodetic control, geodetic surveys and documentation of the state boundaries SCI – supervises the performance of cadastral offices and activities of private companies and licensed surveyors performed for the state administration.
19 2. geodetic private companies They practise commissions for state map series (they are supervised by SCI) and commissions for building and engineering surveying (commissions have to conform with the conditions in contracts).

The Development of an Europium-GTP Assay to Quantitate Chemokine Antagonist Interactions for CXCR4 and CCR5
AbstractChemokine receptors have been implicated in several disease processes such as acute and chronic inflammation, cancer, and allograft rejection and are therefore targets for drug development. The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are of particular interest as they serve as entry cofactors for human immunodeficiency virus. These receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. In this respect, assessing GPCR activation by GTP binding is an important tool to study the early stage of signal transduction. The assay normally utilizes the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue guanosine 5′-γ- 35 Sthiotriphosphate. In order to avoid the problems involved in working with radioactivity, a new non-radioactive version of the assay was developed using a europium-labeled GTP analogue in which europium–GTP binding can be assayed using timeresolved fluorescence. The assay was optimized for CXCR4 and CCR5 and validated for screening of chemokine antagonists using the small molecule CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 and CCR5 antagonists.

RJ09 connector is considered to be a 4 position, 4 conveyor plugs. It generally ends on a 4-conductor telephone link. RJ9 is basically used to connect a phone handset with a phone collector. The RJ 9 is not quite an ideal choice as a connector you will go over once in a while.
RJ9 is used for telephone handset cables, whereas RJ12 is used in the system phones. RJ9 has a 4P4C connector, whereas RJ12 has a 6P6C connector. RJ9 is the abbreviation for Registered Jack 9.
The difference between RJ9 and RJ10 is in the number of positions available on the connector and the number of contacts actually present. Obviously, where there are more positions, the connector is necessarily larger.

Comedy Bang! Bang! is one of the most unique things on TV right now. Created and hosted by Scott Aukerman, the surreal IFC series is based on the comedy podcast by the same name, and is equal parts (fake) talk show, sketch, and improv -- featuring well-known guests and a rotating chair of bizarro characters who pop up to wreak havoc. And like most talk shows, Comedy Bang! Bang! has its own house band, or in this case, a one-man-band: Reggie Watts.
Like the show itself, Watts is impressively versatile and unpredictable. He’s a brilliant comedian, and a fantastic vocalist and beatboxer -- all at the same time. On the show, Watts not only provides the theme song and the bumper music for each commercial break, but serves as Aukerman's comedic foil and co-star in nearly every sketch and plot line. But to watch him do his thing live, is even more extraordinary. He’s truly masterful at looping layer upon layer of beats and rhythms, melodies and countermelodies, entirely with his voice, to create a dense and soulful, hip-hop-infused sound. And his hilarious lyrics seem to be pulled out of thin air, improvised with a sly wink and impossibly quick wit.
Watts honed his skills over the years with the Seattle band Maktub and an odd variety of musicians and groups, including Wayne Horvitz 4+1 Ensemble, Das Rut, Hit Explosion and more. He started making music on his own in 2002, moved to New York City a few years later. He’s also made a number of viral videos, and recently co-launched Jash, the website and YouTube channel with fellow funny people Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, and Tim and Eric. Watts’ most recent special, Reggie Watts A Live in Central Park, premiered on Comedy Central in 2012.
In an interview with Soundcheck host John Schaefer, Watts talks about juggling his various comedy and music projects, and performs two on-the-spot improvisations in the Soundcheck studio.
Reggie Watts performs at Town Hall on June 18 as part of the Blue Note Jazz Festival.

Exercise can be fun, it can be fulfilling, and it id without a doubt, great for our health and physique. But, it requires the right approach for consistency and success. Sticking with it is the hardest part of exercising and even professional athletes feel the urge to take it slow once in a while.
If an Olympian can feel unmotivated, then you should not beat yourself up about feel unenthusiastic towards exercise. You are in good company. Take a deep breath and dive into the ‘why’ of what is stopping you. You may find that the real reasons stopping you are not because you’re ‘lazy’ or because the gym is too out of the way.
You may have internalized feelings about body shape or size that may require some therapy to overcome. It might even be that you do not feel like someone who exercises. This can be easily remedied by getting yourself the uniform. Invest in an exercise outfit from new sneakers to men’s and women’s stylish athletic headbands so that you feel like you look the part. This can be a huge help in getting you in the right mindset.
It may even be that you are not eating nutritious food. Some foods fill you up but give us few if any benefits. Refined carbs like white flour and white rice only provide a feeling of satiation, but they add to feelings of lethargy and do not have much in the way of nutritious content. A few weeks spent adjusting your diet might give you the energy you need to exercise.
Make It Achievable
Reject the idea that you need to have perfect stamina and form from the first moment you start to exercise. Reduce your fitness goals to small achievable units. Starting big sounds great but may end up with you feeling overwhelmed.
Having a larger goal is great but make it something that is for the future you who has become consistent with exercise. Do you want to run a marathon? Would you like to hike the Grand Canyon?
Start by taking a walk around your neighborhood 5 days a week. Gradually increase this to a light jog every other day, then start running short sprints followed by fast walks and repeat. You will slowly but surely work up the stamina and muscle strength to reach your goals.
Make a list of healthy foods that are prepared in a way to preserve as much nutrition as possible. Slowly begin incorporating these clean meals into your regular diet. Eat these meals one day a week or simply replace one meal each day with a nutritious option. Meal prep ahead of time and simply pop it into the oven to heat up before lunch or dinner time.
Carry a water bottle around and begin using dehydrated fruit as a way to flavor the plain water. This will help to make it more palatable and encourage you to increase your water intake.
Stop doing exercises that you dislike and find something that you enjoy. No exercise is inherently better or worse and you will still feel the positive beneficial aspects of an exercise even if you are having fun while doing it. Join a hip hop class or a yoga session that happens in the park or even get your best friend to start jogging with you. You may dislike jogging but spending quality time with your best friend will motivate you to put on that cute running outfit every day.
Finally, you must always question any guilty feelings that come up with regard to food and exercise. Every time you feel bad about eating a cookie or skipping a workout, ask yourself why you feel bad about it. No food is truly ‘bad’ food. It can be bad for you depending on the quantity you eat or your health status.
A person with diabetes can still enjoy cookies, they simply have to find a substitute for the refined sugar which is unhealthy for them. A healthy young teenager can enjoy a cookie made with refined sugar but it will be bad for them if they finish off a dozen cookies in one day. Moderation is key to enjoying foods without deleting them from your diet.
The concept of ‘guilt’ associated with food and exercise is unhealthy and must be rejected. It is not a weakness to enjoy something delicious or skip a workout. Feeling the urge to not follow your routine could be a signal from your body that you need rest. Working out despite tiredness or muscle pain is a big mistake. That is how people end up with bad sprains or injuries that could take you away from exercising altogether for months at a time. Trust your body to know its limits and give yourself a treat once in a while. You deserve it.

A brand new report from property research agency CoreLogic exhibits first home consumers represented 26.Four p.c of the property market within the three months ended September, up from 21.5 % in the prior quarter. The market remained swift in September, with properties usually staying on the marketplace for 17 days, in line with the NAR report. Credit utilization describes the percentage of your available bank card limits that you’re utilizing (based mostly on your credit report). After all, the crooked “purchaser” has one last card to play – now that they have notified you of these “defects” in the property, you will have a duty to disclose them to the next potential buyer or repair them – and they are counting on you desirous to do neither, so they can snag the place at a low value. “Especially in intervals of heightened exercise in the housing market, it’s essential that we’ve got effective measures in place so that people have the peace of thoughts that they’ve made the appropriate choices,” Robinson said.
Especially in periods of heightened activity in the housing market, it’s essential that we have efficient measures in place so that folks have the peace of thoughts that they’ve made the proper selections,” stated Robinson. Finance Minister Selina Robinson mentioned the cooling-off period, much like those already in place for pre-construction condominium gross sales, would give folks making the largest purchase choice of their lives time to ensure they’re doing the proper thing. Make sure that you may have the precise mortgage for it. Clients felt they had to write down their provides this way merely to have their supply be considered by the sellers. One facet I do marvel about nevertheless is if we will see shoppers writing provides with out having their funds nailed down, realizing they can have every week to get their affairs in order. The lengthy-term penalties for skipping a home inspection may be expensive and so can the lengthy-time period consequences for writing affords effectively over the asking worth, if our market sees a significant correction. In the event that they find a house that’s even near appropriate individuals have been writing provides, typically properly over asking price, so they can simply get a house.
CoreLogic chief property economist Kelvin Davidson said further care was wanted when decoding the figures because the number of transactions completed over the quarter had been disrupted by the reimposition of lockdown restrictions, resulting in a smaller sample size. The info from CoreLogic confirmed the average median worth paid by first dwelling patrons was $660,000, down from $685,000 in the prior quarter – when freestanding houses made up a bigger share of purchases. The share of purchases they made had been unexpectedly strong, provided that house prices had surged by greater than 27 % prior to now 12 months, he said. The province’s announcement that it plans to impose a cooling-off interval on home purchases took the trade by shock and solves a “problem” that doesn’t exist, says the president of the Victoria Real Estate Board. C. Financial Services Authority has been tasked with consulting with key industry stakeholders. Financial Services Authority has been tasked with consulting with key trade stakeholders. Financial Services Authority will take a look at other potential measures to guard shoppers, together with a review of the “blind bidding” system.
Experts to help determine what a cooling-off period would appear to be. Cities like New York, Los Angeles and Miami, which have at all times been hubs for the global rich, are still seen as secure investments despite the ups and downs of the pandemic. While stock in Manhattan continues to be comparatively high, with about 7,600 listings, sales and demand at the excessive finish has been strong. Depressed stock levels continue to constrain the market, mentioned Mike Fratantoni, chief economist and senior vice president at the Mortgage Bankers Association. But getting back to our instance, suppose the government passes a regulation saying that mortgage curiosity is deductible? For instance, if you’re self-employed, do you need lengthy-term disability insurance? By regulation, the credit bureaus are normally required to investigate the merchandise in question inside 30 days, until they consider your dispute to be frivolous. A lower credit score displays weak financial accountability. The 2009 and subsequent private revenue tax returns will incorporate a brand new line that allows you to assert this credit score.

“After an entire evaluation, we’ll affirm that the secretary intends to revoke the abroad terrorist group and particularly designated world terrorist designations of Ansarallah,” the official talked about, using one different determine for the Houthis. “We now have formally notified Congress of the secretary’s intent to revoke these designations and might share further particulars inside the coming days.”
“We’re devoted to serving to Saudi Arabia defend its territory in the direction of further such assaults,” the official talked about. “Our movement is due totally to the humanitarian penalties of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would pace up the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe.”
Then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo launched the Trump administration’s choice decrease than two weeks sooner than leaving office, with the designation going into influence solely a day sooner than President Joe Biden’s inauguration. Humanitarian organizations, diplomats and lawmakers warned that the designation could destabilize the state of affairs on the underside and severely hamper efforts to take care of the humanitarian catastrophe inside the war-torn nation.
Blinken knowledgeable reporters closing week that he was “considerably centered” on the evaluation of the designation.
“It’s vitally important, even inside the midst of this catastrophe, that we do each factor we’ll to get humanitarian help to the oldsters of Yemen who’re in decided need. And what we’d like to be certain that is that any steps we’re taking don’t get in one of the simplest ways of providing that assist, “Blinken talked about.
Yemen has been embroiled in a years-long civil battle that has pitted a coalition backed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the direction of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, a Shia political and navy group from the north of Yemen. The battle has worth 1000’s of civilian lives and plunged the nation proper right into a humanitarian catastrophe.
In a speech on the State Division on Thursday, Biden declared that “we’re ending all American help for offensive operations inside the battle in Yemen, along with associated arm product sales,” and talked about he’ll appoint an envoy to consider the long-standing battle . He talked about the battle is “a battle that has created humanitarian and strategic catastrophe,” nonetheless he moreover emphasised the US will “proceed to help and help Saudi Arabia.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, a longtime critic of the Saudi advertising and marketing marketing campaign in Yemen, praised the administration’s switch to rescind the designation.
“The Biden administration’s choice to reverse the Houthi FTO designation is one different signal of their dedication to end the battle in Yemen,” the Connecticut Democrat talked about in a press launch Friday.
“The designation didn’t affect the Houthis in any wise means, nonetheless it stopped meals and totally different essential help from being delivered inside Yemen and would have prevented environment friendly political negotiation,” he added. “Reversing the designation is a crucial choice that will save lives and, combined with the appointment of a selected envoy, presents hope that President Biden is devoted to bringing the battle to an end.”

One of the many beloved features of Minecraft is that it allows players to host their own multi-player servers.
These private servers allow users to invite their friends and create a world together, the players can enjoy an entire world of their own, and these private servers are called Minecraft Realms.
These features contribute to the immense popularity of the game, and were considered ‘a one of its kind’ feature when the game first released, but they also pose quite a few problems.
And one of them is the Minecraft Realms Internal Server Error 500. You might have wondered what these errors are and why are you getting them.

Confirm The Server Outage
Usually, this is an error from the back end of the server; the server itself is either glitching or is purposely shut down for maintenance reasons.
In this case, the users can’t do anything except wait for the issue to be resolved by the Minecraft team, but they can keep themselves updated on the issue using Mojang’s Twitter.

Update The Game Version
Minecraft doesn’t support outdated versions; if you are facing Minecraft Realms Internal Server 500 for quite some time, your launcher might have missed the latest update.
Look into the new versions and install one if you haven’t already.
Having the latest version of the game not only gives you new feature but also avoids errors like these. (Link Minecraft authentication error)
Disabling Incompatible Mods
There was an internal server error. This can happen when the game is using an old version of one or more mods, and cannot load them properly.
This will prevent you from being able to play the game normally. If you continue to see this error then all efforts should be made to reinstall the game in question
Delete Resource Packs, And Mods
If this issue just started appearing after you installed a mod or resource pack you may have installed malware or that specific mod may not be compatible with your version of Minecraft or may contain a virus.
Needless to say, you need to uninstall them right away. And if you have multiple additions and are not sure which ones causing the problem, uninstall all of them and then see if the game gets better or not
Switch to All Default Settings
Deleting mods should fix this error but, if it doesn’t, try going back to default settings. The issue takes place if the players mess with the original settings of the game, set all the settings to default, and try to get into a realm again. Your issue should have been solved by now.
Delete UUID Files, In Minecraft
A UUID number is a number given to players that they can use to change their usernames without confusing the servers about their identity. Sometimes changing the username helps get rid of the glitches causing this error.
- Acquire your player’s UUID by entering all the credentials in the Minecraft website
- Access your server files by logging into your server, open the file titled “world” and then access “player data“
- Now, select the file encompassing a similar name as the player’s Username or UUID and then press the “Delete” icon.
- Lastly, restart your server to make the new changes operative and then check to see if you can rectify the Minecraft Realms Internal Server 500.
Disable the Plugins
Sometimes, the installed plugins are not well-matched with the game version. Follow the steps below to deactivate the plugins on your computer.
This is a great way to disable plugins from the server but still have them exist in the files.
- Access the plugins from your computer and rename the plugins files from “[plugin name].jar to [plugin name].jar.disabled”.
- Launch the server again to see if Minecraft Realms Internal Server Error 500 has been successfully resolved.
Contact Support Center
If all else fails and you just can’t seem to fix the problem then, it’s time to contact the Customer Support Center. Carefully fill out the forms you will find on their website or if they ask you on call, and give a detailed explanation of your issues; the team will surely assist you in this regard!

Java / Garbage collection
How does Garbage Collection work in Java?
Garbage collection works by employing several GC algorithms, for example, Mark and Sweep.
Garbage Collector is the program running in the background that looks into all the objects in the memory and find out objects that are not referenced by any part of the program. All these unreferenced objects are deleted and space is reclaimed for allocation to other objects.
There are many kinds of garbage collector available in Java to collect different area of heap memory, some of them include serial, parallel and concurrent garbage collectors.
The basic way of garbage collection involves 3 steps:
- Marking is the first step where garbage collector identifies which objects are in use and which ones are not in use.
- Normal Deletion: Garbage Collector removes the unused objects and reclaim the free space to be allocated to other objects.
- Deletion with Compacting: After deleting unused objects, all the survived objects can be moved to be together. This will increase the performance of allocation of memory to newer objects.

Zion’s chances of a regular-season return to Pelicans are fading
METAIRIE, La. – Zion Williamson’s chances of returning to the New Orleans Pelicans during the regular season are vanishing rapidly.
The Pelicans announced Wednesday that Williamson, who has not played since straining his right hamstring in a 120-111 loss at Philadelphia on January 2, will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
That means the next update will come April 5, when the Pelicans host Memphis in the third-to-last game of the regular season.
After practice Wednesday, head coach Willie Green wouldn’t rule out that Williamson could play on the same day that he’s re-evaluated but that seems highly unlikely. New Orleans hosts New York on April 7 and visits Minnesota in the regular-season finale April 9.
“I can’t confirm whether he’ll be back or not,” Green said.
The Pelicans said that Williamson “has been cleared to return to on-court activities.” But Green said the organization is “taking a slower approach” to the All-Star forward’s rehab after he suffered “a re-injury” in February.
New Orleans has plummeted in the Western Conference standings while Williamson, who is averaging 26.0 points per game, is second on the team in rebounding (7.0), third in assists (4.6) and is shooting 60.8 percent from the floor, has been sidelined.
The Pelicans, who briefly had the best record in the West in December, were 23-14 after the loss to Philadelphia but are just 12-23 since.
They have won their last two games, including a 119-84 victory against short-handed San Antonio on Tuesday in the Smoothie King Center, and going into Wednesday’s games they were tied with the Lakers, a half-game behind Utah and Minnesota, which are tied for the final two play-in spots.
New Orleans has 10 games remaining, starting with a home game against Charlotte on Thursday.
“We feel like we’re getting to a good place for the final 10 games,” Green said.
Brandon Ingram, the team’s second-leading scorer, who had 32 points against the Spurs, has missed 37 games due to injuries. The Pelicans’ preferred starting lineup of Williamson, Ingram, guards CJ McCollum and Herbert Jones Jr. and center Jonas Valanciunas has been in tact for just 10 games. New Orleans has won six of those games.
“It’s been a constant adjustment all season,” Green said. “Every team in the league comes in with expectations and goals and excitement based on knowing what your team would look like full.
“We haven’t been full for the majority of the season and that’s frustrating. But now you look at where you are and keep trying to improve and continue to try and instill confidence in our group and stay focused on winning games.”
It also appears that reserve point guard Jose Alvarado will miss the rest of the regular season. He has missed the last 10 games due to a stress reaction in his right tibia and the Pelicans announced that he will be re-examined in two-three weeks.

In recent years, merchant services have become increasingly important for businesses and organizations of all sizes. Merchant services are designed to facilitate transactions from customers or clients, allowing merchants to accept payments quickly and securely.
There are several different types of merchant services available, depending on the nature of the business and its needs. The most common merchant services are credit card processing, ACH processing, and e-commerce solutions. Each of these services offers different advantages and disadvantages that can make it easier or more difficult for a business to accept payments from customers.
When selecting the best merchant service for your business, there are several factors to consider. First, you will need to decide which payment processing option is most suitable for your particular needs. For example, credit card processing is typically the most popular and widely accepted payment method, but ACH processing can be a good choice for businesses with more specialized requirements. Additionally, you should consider factors such as transaction fees, customer service options, and security features when choosing a merchant services provider.
Finally, you should also consider the overall cost of the service. You can often find competitive rates from different providers, so it’s important to compare and contrast options before making a final decision.
By taking the time to research and evaluate the best merchant services available for your business, you can ensure that you choose a reliable and cost-effective service provider. This will help you to keep your business running smoothly and securely, while allowing customers to make payments quickly and easily.
Ultimately, the best merchant services can provide an efficient and secure way for businesses to accept payments from customers or clients. By considering all of the factors listed above, you’ll be able to find the best option for your needs and budget.

How would you describe the work of business schools? Most people go straight to the teaching. Business schools teach business and management through a wide range of degree programs and executive education, helping learners to build and navigate careers as managers. Those more familiar with the industry add that business schools conduct objective and rigorous research to inform practicing managers and policy makers, as well as support teaching. In short, business schools develop skills, insights, and opportunities for organizations and the people who manage them.
Of course, this work has private benefit to learners and companies. But there also is a public benefit. By improving organizational performance and educating citizens about business and management, business schools contribute to economic and social development. We believe the connection between what business schools do and the progress we make in society is strong; and that is why the responsibility of business schools has been hotly debated over the years. Indeed, our belief in the strength of this connection is why we put so much effort into improving and expanding management education. If we can raise the standards of quality for business schools, continuously align what they teach to the needs of business and society, assist them to share ideas and practices about research and teaching, and improve access to quality management education, the whole world would be better off.
But what if I told you that this framework is incomplete and we have been underestimating the social impact of business schools as a consequence. In fact, there is a third part to the work of business schools and it has been growing. It has a more direct impact and happens when students, faculty, and staff work together with and for their communities. It often focuses on a specific problem, involves a shared purpose or objective, and serves as a catalyst for innovation and improvement. Let’s call this work engagement.
There are at least three types of business school activities that fall into this category of work. First, through projects and competitions involving business school learners (students and scholars) schools directly address problems and opportunities that are relevant to business and society. This might be a straight business innovation challenge. Or it might involve students at Universitas Gadjah Mada contributing to village development projects in East Indonesia or project teams at Strathmore University Business School developing renewable energy solutions in Kenya. Or it might be something like Oxford Sad‘s Map the System, which is a global competition that challenges and supports students to understand problems in a wider context by “exploring, probing, and researching all the connecting elements and factors around it.”
Second, through entrepreneurship initiatives business schools are directly catalyzing innovation and new business creationÑmaking jobs and not just filling them. In MIT Sloan‘s REAP program partner regions form multi-disciplinary teams to work on action-learning activities to enhance their innovation ecosystems. The Olayan School of Business at the American University of Beirut offers the Global Scaleup Program and numerous schools are engaging in serious social innovation initiatives. We could go on, as business schools have significantly expanded their work in entrepreneurship.
Third, through capacity building projects business schools have been expanding and improving management education worldwide. Some have built campuses to serve developing regions or programs to serve indigenous, or refugees, or other marginalized communities. Others have reached out online to provide open access to education or research. Still others have been committed to the professional development of new faculty and administrative leaders or providing consultative advance through platforms such as accreditation.
While these kinds of activities are not new, they have been growing. One reason is that the future of business schools is experiential — and experiences are created through engagement. As content becomes more open and accessible, it is through experiences that universities and business schools will continue to create value. It is the way established business schools will differentiate themselves from other providers of education. It is how business schools will thrive in the changing environment of higher education.
The focus of engagement activities has been shifting too. Increasingly, experiential activities are addressing social problems as much as business ones. Because of this shift business schools are having a more direct impact on communities and people, and are changing the worldview about the role and purpose of business.
Teaching, research, and engagement are now like three legs of a stool. It has always been hard to imagine proper teaching without quality research. Now it is hard to imagine proper teaching without an array of meaningful field experiences from which to learn. And it is hard to think that students and scholars will create much value for society in engagement activities without effective teaching and research. Finally, in the accelerating world of business, it is getting harder to believe useful research can be generated by scholars who do not engage in activities that provide access to relevant problems and data.
The engagement work of business schools is what drives the Global Business School Network. So I am happy to say that we are growing too. For 17 years we have been involved with capacity building for the developing world, working with business schools (as well as companies, governments, and NGOs) to improve access to quality management education. Now we are connecting schools in ways that amplify the economic and social benefits of their engagement activities, such as student projects, case competitions, and entrepreneurship initiatives. By working together through GBSN the collective impact of our partner schools is greater than the sum of their individual contributions. We invite you to learn more about the Global Business School Network and the difference our member schools are making at our Annual Conference, 6-8 November, in Lisbon.

A murine model has been developed to study maternal transmission of the temperature-sensitive Moloney murine leukemia virus (ts-1). The goal of this study was to confirm early and late mother-to-offspring transmission of the virus and demonstrate transmission via breast milk. A series of six experiments was performed using six groups of BALB/c mice. Group 1 consisted of pups born to ts-1-infected mothers removed at birth to suckle from surrogate uninfected mothers. Groups 2 and 5 consisted of pups born to ts-1-infected mothers that suckled from ts-1-infected mothers (surrogate and biological). Group 3 consisted of non-infected pups removed at birth to suckle from ts-1-infected mothers. Groups 4 and 6 consisted of non-infected pups suckled from non-infected mothers. The combined
in utero, intrapartum and breast-milk infection rate was 100 % to the offspring (groups 2 and 5). The in uteroto early post-partum group (group 1) had an infection rate of 78 %. Breast milk alone (group 3) resulted in a 97 % infection rate. Control groups (groups 4 and 6) had a 0 % infection rate. The relative frequency of maternal CD4+ cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was consistently lower in infected mothers, whilst offspring did not show a significant decrease in CD4+ frequency. Pups infected via breast milk had a lower CD4+ frequency (group 3) than those infected by the uterine and/or intrapartum route (group 1). Breast milk from ts-1-infected mothers appears to be highly infectious for neonatal BALB/c mice.
