Traveling across the river to watch the fireworks in Bettendorf threw a monkey wrench into our typical Cubs-viewing routine. We had to discontinue our television viewing just after Edmonds received his standing ovation from the St. Louis crowd before his first at-bat (ho-hum). A small, portable radio informed us of Soto's hardball home run as we played a game of whiffle-ball home run derby. Finally, as the immoderate grand finale was happening, a man sitting near us with earbuds engaged announced to us that the Cubs had won the game.
Even just getting the first win in this series with "the birds on the bat" (lolz) makes me feel like all is becoming right with the universe. We are out of Mordor and are journeying back to the Shire. Zambrano is back and is looking good. Murton is still with the team. Reed Johnson is back and already contributing, and TMFL is pitching tomorrow afternoon. Ram it home, Cubs!

[§286-313] Reimbursement to counties. The counties shall be reimbursed the incremental costs incurred in the administration of this part. The amount of reimbursement shall be determined by the director of transportation. [L 2012, c 310, pt of §2]


There has been a worldwide concern for the health risks of cigarette smoking and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) considered as one of the hazardous tobacco compounds which is needed to be determined in order to reduce the dose related to smoke disease risk.
In this study, we prepare the experimental procedure to entrap the HCN from mainstream smoke of different brands of Tehran cigarette, through simulating human inhalation and determine its concentration applying polarography.
The HCN level of the 50 commonly consumed tobacco products (47 cigarettes and 3 cigars) obtained from local store is ranged between 17.56 ± 1.02 and 1553.98 ± 0.56 μg per stick, this acquired amount is more than FDA approval (10 μg per stick), so the harmful effects of smoking is indicative.
The comparative study of the results shows that the price and the weight of each product do not indicate HCN level. As can be seen, R 2 value which is a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line is low (R 2 < 0.2). So it should not be deceived by names such as ultra light or infinite gravity to suck, because this names or the price haven ’t effect on the amount of HCN and its destructive effects.
Smoking is the major risk factor of mortality in the world according to the statistical information; the cigarette consumption during one century has increased over 100 times, which increases the concern over the safety of tobacco products [ 1 , 2 ].
Tobacco smoke contains more than 5000 chemical compounds which 150 of these substances have been proved to be toxicants [ 3 , 4 ]. Hydrogen cyanide is one of the tobaccos smoke poisonous substances which are formed from the combustion of the protein and nitrate compounds existed in tobacco at high temperatures in the oxygen deficient condition [ 5 , 6 ] which it’s chronic and low exposure causes neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular and thyroid effect [ 7 – 9 ].
The tobacco smoke pathway includes the part directly entered the mouth called mainstream and the part diffused in the surrounding, called side stream, which hazardous for nonsmoker. The level of HCN in mainstream smoke is ranged from 10 to 400 μg per cigarette (US Brands) which 0.6 to 27 % of these amounts exist in side stream smoke [ 10 ]. In the previous study the level of HCN in the non-filtered cigarette was between 400 to 500 μg per stick [ 11 ] and in another study the amount of HCN in the mainstream smoke of cigar, non-filtered cigarette and filtered cigarette was 1035, 59 and 448 μg per 1 g of tobacco, respectively and in small cigars it was between 510 to 780 μg per 1 g of tobacco [ 12 ].
There are different reported methods determine HCN in different samples including voltammetry [ 13 ], fluorometry [ 14 , 15 ] gas chromatography [ 16 ], LC-MS-MS [ 17 ], HPLC-MS [ 18 ], potentiometry [ 19 ], spectrophotometry [ 20 ] and colorimetry [ 21 ]. Among them, polarography the subclass of voltammetry is the most precise and inexpensive method based on the oxidation and reduction mechanism [ 22 ].
The aim of this study is focused on the determination of the HCN in mainstream smock of different brands of cigarette consumed in Tehran using polarography method.
A total of 50 types of different brands of the most consumed or available cigarettes (47) and cigars (3) were collected from local stores at September 2012. The 20 % of the samples were from Winston company, 18 % from Marlboro, 6 % from Magna, 8 % from KENT and 8 % from local or officially imported companies and the rest, 40 % are from a different companies (as shown in Table 1 ).

All chemicals used were of analytical reagent grade from Merck (Germany). Buffer solutions were prepared by dissolving boric acid (0.2 M) and potassium hydroxide (0.17 M) in 1000 ml ultrapure water and adjusting the solution to pH 10.2. Cyanide standard solution (1 g/L) was prepared by dissolving 0.2503 g KCN in 100 ml KOH 0.01 M in ultrapure water.
Analysis was conducted by the Metrohm Polarography device 797 VA Computrace, three electrode systems consisting of a dropping mercury electrode (DME) as the working electrode, an Ag/AgCl reference electrode and platinum counter electrode. The device outfitted in the following conditions: stirrer speed 2000 rpm, mode DP, purge time 300 s, equilibration time 5 s, pulse amplitude 50 mV, start potential 0 V, end potential −500 mV, voltage step 8 mV, voltage step time 0.8 s, sweep rate 10 mV/s, peak potential CN −240 mV. All instrumental settings were those recommended in the manufacturer’s manual book and the instrumental conditions with the method of AB110-Det of cyanide [ 23 ]. All potentials quoted were measured against an Ag/AgCl reference electrode and the polarographic cell volume was 20 ml.
The HCN in each cigarette and cigar mainstream smoke were collected using mainstream apparatus (Fig. 1) [ 24 , 25 ]. The cigarette was applied to the entrance station and suction force obtained by the vacuum pump simulate the human inhalation and extract the tobacco smoke, the flow of smoke were passed through the glass tube filled with 100 ml NaOH (0.1 M) solution to entrap HCN as CN − ion.
Cigarette mainstream collecting apparatus
Subsequently, the mixture of above mentioned solution contain cigarette smoke (10 ml) and buffer solution (10 ml) was added to the polarographic vessel and deoxygenated for 10 min with high-purity nitrogen and achieved the peak of CN − in the range of −0.5-0 V. To determine the CN − concentration by standard addition method, 50 μl cyanide standard solution was added (two times) and the polarogram was obtained (Fig. 2).

All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical software for social sciences (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, Version 21). Statistical analyses of each sample were characterized by mean ± standard deviation. The mean levels of cyanide were compared across categories of price, and weight of each cigarette or cigars. The significance level was defined at 0.05 for the regression equations.
The result of mainstream smoke HCN determination by polarography (Table 1 ) showed that among 50 samples the average amount of HCN was 184.825 μg per stick which the highest level of HCN pertain to Jewel sweet cigar, 1553.98 ± 0.56 μg per cigar, and the lowest was Swiss Marlboro with 17.56 ± 1.02 μg per cigarette. Moreover, the average amount of HCN in cigarettes and cigar were 218 μg and 785.09 μg, respectively, In addition the average weight of cigarette and cigar samples was 800 mg and 5500 mg, respectively, and the average weight of whole samples was 1084.24 mg.
The changes in the HCN levels are dependent on the preparation procedure of tobacco, which lead to the diverse amount of proteins and nitrate compounds of cigarette which render the conversion of HCN level emission. In addition it may be possible to assess the quality of cigarette especially ultralight by determining the amount of HCN as it is increased in the unfeigned products.
Furthermore, based on our study there is no connection between price, weight and appearance of cigarette, cigar and HCN level. For instance, Jewels sweet and PHILLIES BLUNT cigars have the same price, but different level of HCN doesn’t necessarily cause the higher HCN level emission. The regression method was applied for the development of the mentioned model. Validation of the method was conducted by analyzing the different set of independent data from the same source. As can be seen the R 2 which is a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line is low (0.20) (Fig. 3). So it means the model is useless for prediction based on cigar and cigarette weight and its price.
The relationship between cyanide, weight and price each of cigarettes
In addition, previous studies demonstrated that even exposure to lower concentrations of cyanide may result in a range of non-specific features include headache, dizziness, throat discomfort, chest tightness and eye irritation which these symptoms would grow by more substantial exposure [ 26 – 28 ]. Moreover the results of our study indicate that cyanide concentration of all samples, even light cigarette is above established levels for chronic toxic doses [ 9 ] (Fig. 4).
Cyanide concentrations in different kind of Cig
In this study, HCN of the toxic components of the tobacco smoke was determined by polarographic method. The results shows that the ranges of HCN level of 50 samples were varied between 17.56 ± 1.02 - 1553.98 ± 0.56 μg per stick. This acquired amount is more than FDA approval (10 μg per stick).

Charles Colson writes today in his BreakPoint article,
Since 1973, [Walter Hoy] notes, over 14.5 million black babies have been killed by abortion. Every, single day, 1,200 black babies are put to death in abortion facilities, making abortion the leading cause of death among African Americans!

Because names for biomedical entities can change quite often (e.g., HGNC gene symbols change quite frequently), it's much safer to reference them using stable identifiers. However, humans prefer names to identifies when interacting with data and knowledge, so there needs to be a fast, unified way to resolve identifiers to names.
Ontologies like the Gene Ontology can be accessed through one of several unified lookup
services such as the OLS,
AberOWL,
OntoBee, and
BioPortal. However, these services can only be used for
biomedical entities appearing in ontologies, and not for other important nomenclatures such as HGNC, UniProt, or
PubChem. Alternatively, small databases like SwissProt (i.e., the reviewed portion of UniProt entries) can be exported and wrapped in small packages like the
protmapper
that provide easy lookup for names
based on identifiers. Larger databases like PubChem Compound
and dbSNP can be accessed through a programmatic API becuase
they can't be easily exported or quickly loaded in memory.
The Biolookup Service is a unified platform that is not only applicable for biomedical entities in ontologies, but from both small and large databases as well.
The first set of resources ingested in the Biolookup Service are those listed in the Bioregistry as either
having an OWL or OBO ontology file. This mostly covers the OBO Foundry as well as additional resources like
Cellosaurus. They are parsed with a combination of the obonet
and pronto
Python packages. Unfortunately, many
ontologies listed in the OBO Foundry that only appear with an OWL build artifact have issues that make them
impossible to parse. The Biolookup Service has the benefit that the resource list is externally maintained and
can therefore benefit from arbitrary improvements to the upstream data source. Ontologies in the
BioPortal are not automatically listed in the Bioregistry the same as ontologies in the OBO Foundry due to their
lack of quality control.
The second set of resources ingested in the Biolookup Service are any resources (ontologies, databases, etc.)
available through the pyobo
Python package.
Additional resources can be suggested for inclusion in the Biolookup Service via the PyOBO issue tracker.


With Fixed as "selected":
Add new <select> element dynamically on a page:
(select boxes are checked every second on a page,
you should see a normal select element transforming
into js select box a moment after you click the button)
Test interaction with other webpages that already use some other
javascript boxes library.
These links need to be opened in the kivy_.py example:
Some libraries that are not well-designed will display
the select element twice, take a look at this for example:
http://adam.co/lab/jquery/customselect/ (open in kivy_.py example)
Although, it will still be functional, just with a display glitch.
The following code was added to the SelectBox library to transform <select> element into js box only if it's visible on a webpage:
// This should fix interaction with other js boxes libraries, // so that the select element does not appear twice. if (!$(select).is(":visible")) { return; }Also this code gives one second to other select box libraries
__kivy__jQuery(document).ready(function() { // Transform select elements only after a second, // this will give time other select boxes libraries // included on a webpage to their stuff first. window.setInterval(function(){ __kivy__jQuery(document).ready(function() { __kivy__jQuery("select").__kivy__selectBox(); }); }, 1000); });

Ohio counties to be part of $350M federal opioid study
by EndPlayPORTSMOUTH, Ohio (AP) - Ohio communities will be part of a $350 million federal study analyzing drug intervention techniques and policies.
Ten Ohio counties will be among the first wave of communities participating in the National Institutes of Health's HEALing Communities Study, The Portsmouth Daily Times reported.
About $66 million will be channeled for the study through Ohio State University to Ashtabula, Athens, Cuyahoga, Darke, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Lucas, Morrow and Scioto counties.
The study will also look at communities in Kentucky, New York and Massachusetts.
It will launch in December and is expected to last four years.
Mike Martin, the health commissioner for Scioto County in southern Ohio, is grateful his county has been included.
"What we are doing still clearly is not working as much as we might've hoped and prayed for," Martin said. "We still have way too many people dying unnecessarily."
Martin said some of the study's goals include reducing opioid deaths by 40%, expanding medically assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and reducing high-risk opioid prescribing.
Federal officials hope the study will help government officials at all levels determine best practices for combatting a national opioid epidemic that has killed 400,000 people since 2000.
Research sites will test community engagement strategies and several proven opioid prevention and treatment practices.
Nine Ohio counties - Allen, Brown, Franklin, Huron, Jefferson, Ross, Stark, Williams and Wyandot - will be part of the study's second wave.

The Mahalanobis distance, which is essentially a stretched Euclidean distance.
Given a square covariance matrix of size x , where is the dimensionality of the points it will be evaluating, and given two vectors and also of dimensionality ,
where Q is the covariance matrix.
Because each evaluation multiplies (x_1 - x_2) by the covariance matrix, it may be much quicker to use an LMetric and simply stretch the actual dataset itself before performing any evaluations. However, this class is provided for convenience.
Similar to the LMetric class, this offers a template parameter TakeRoot which, when set to false, will instead evaluate the distance
which is faster to evaluate.
| TakeRoot | If true, takes the root of the output. It is slightly faster to leave this at the default of false, but this means the metric may not satisfy the triangle inequality and may not be usable for methods that expect a true metric. |

Greencoat Renewables acquires Co Mayo wind farm for €37.2m
Company funding purchase of Killala community wind farm via its credit facitily
by Charlie TaylorGreencoat Renewables has acquired the 20.4 MW Killala community wind farm in Co Mayo for an initial €37.2 million.
The project consists of five Siemens 3.4MW turbines that have been operational since July. An additional Siemens 3.4MW turbine is currently under construction which will bring the installed capacity to 20.4MW by late 2020.
Construction of the additional turbine is being overseen by the existing developers and Siemens will continue to manage the wind farm’s contract.
The acquisition is being funded by the company’s €380 million credit facility.
Following the acquisition, Greencoat Renewables total borrowings are 47 per cent of gross asset value, it said.
“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Killala, adding another high-quality wind asset with long-term contracted revenues. This is our first acquisition of a community windfarm and we are delighted that the local community will be sharing in the value created,” said investment manager Paul O’Donnell.

template<class Scalar, class DataType = Scalar>
class RVL::StdSpace< Scalar, DataType >
Standard modular RVL space class.
This construction implements Space by pairing a DataContainerFactory (access to vectors) and a LinearAlgebraPackage (access to ops), both defined abstractly through methods returning appropriate references. All other methods (expressing vector space behaviour) implemented in this base class.
A typical implementation will provide a LinAlgPack and a DataContainerFactory, either as arguments to the constructor or through some internal construction mechanism, and return references to these. Thus only two methods need be implemented.
We could provide a concrete subclass which takes the LAP and DCF as constructor args. However this class would hardly ever be used, as LAPs and DCFs are not natural data in most apps.
Note that the LinearAlgebraPackage needs a separate template parameter for the DataType in the LDCs. In most cases, this is the same as the Scalar type.
Definition at line 276 of file space.hh.
template<class Scalar, class DataType = Scalar>
comparison: first check for identity of addresses.
If these are equal, a very low-cost comparison has succeeded. Otherwise, delegate the decision to the comparison methods of the DC factory and LA package.
Implements RVL::Space< Scalar >.

ledstrip ADT for animations
This ADT lets you control a ledstrip with very easy functions.
This ADT is focussed on animations.
If you want to use advanced functions please refer to ledstrip_array or ledstrip_port.
NOTE: There is NO limitation of ledcount.
|
inline |
Add multiple colored leds.
Add multiple colored leds with this function.
To do this, the user needs to place addleds() functions directly after eachother.
|
inline |
disco animation
A fun function that shows different animations and random colors.
|
inline |
Fill the first couple leds with a given color.
Example: fillleds(hwlib::color(255,0,0), 40)
The first 40 leds will turn red, the following leds will be turned off.
More colors? It is also possible to place colors back to back:
fillleds(hwlib::color(255,0,0), 40, 0) wont turn off the leds after the 40 red leds.
Directly after needs to be another fillleds() to turn the rest of the leds another color.
The time between the funtions needs to be less then 50 us.
|
inline |
Flow animation.
Create a flow animation by shifting every led to the next led.
With ledson and ledsoff the user can decide how many leds will be turned on and off after each other.
The fastness is the time between 1 shift. int flows is the amount of flows.
|
inline |
Kitt animation.
Shows a kitt display. Each led is on for fastness miliseconds.
This functions returns when all kits are done.
|
inline |
Fills one led.
This function sets 1 led to a color.
|
inline |
Rainbow animation.
This functions creates a rainbow effect by cycling through all colors.
An int fastness of 5000 is recommended. Lowering it by a couple hundred will result in a faster cycle.
Int rainbows is the total of cycles.
|
inline |
Snake animation.
Select a color, fastness per led, the amount of snakes.
Animation effect: led 1, led 1 and 2, led 1, 2 and 3. etc...
Optional to reverse the snake place an extra 1 in the function declaration.

 This is why I love to use Heroku for hosting. There are times that this is not an option so we have to use a hosted linux server. For this walk thru I used Rackspace with Ubuntu 12.04 for hosting. This is about as fully detailed as possible.

Pursuant to CRWA's mission to provide open access to ecological data to the greater Boston community and the world, the CRWA allows open access to its Public Flagging API, which provides JSON versions of the CRWA's data utilized in modeling, the CRWA's model outputs, and relevant metadata.
The API is built on simple REST principles; user of the Public Flagging API can utilize GET requests to retrieve the data. Additional APIs may be added to the project as development progresses. This is a volunteer driven project and we appreciate developers' and researchers' input on what would be most useful.

Sessions says if elected to the Senate he will be Trump's 'No. 1 advocate'
by Zachary HalaschakFormer Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that if he wins back his old Senate seat in Alabama, he will be President Trump’s “No. 1 supporter.”
Sessions, 72, left the Senate in 2017 to become the nation’s top law enforcement officer. He later drew the ire of Trump for recusing himself from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether Trump conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
Appearing on Fox News on Thursday, Sessions, who said it has “been some time” since he and Trump spoke, pointed out that he was an early backer of Trump and said he is still a firm supporter of the president.
“I was his first supporter, but more than that, I was his No. 1 advocate for the issues he ran on,” Sessions said. “And if I go back to the Senate, I can tell you, I’ll be his No. 1 supporter in the Senate, and I will be his No. 1 advocate for the issues that he's talking about because they're the issues that average American cares about.”
Sessions said he hopes Trump will support his candidacy.
“I’m certainly going to hope that will happen, and he said he’s not going to attack me in the race,” he said. “We're taking our case to the people of Alabama, and they will decide who their next senator is. It’s not my seat; it’s the people’s seat in Alabama. That’s who I'll be asking.”

{{ spending.recent }}
Difference between budgeted capital expenditure and what was actually spent.
| good | Up to 5% |
| average | Between 5% and 15% |
| bad | More than 15% |
Capital spending includes spending on infrastructure projects like new water pipes or building a library. Underspending on a capital budget can lead to an under-delivery of basic services. This indicator looks at the percentage by which actual spending falls short of the budget for capital expenses. Persistent underspending may be due to underresourced municipalities which cannot manage large projects on time.
Municipalities should aim to spend at least 95 percent of their capital budgets. Failure to spend even 85 percent is a clear warning sign.

Ensure that the application connects to databases using the least-privileged account possible.
Connecting to the database with a least privilege account limits the damage that can be done in the event of a SQL injection attack or in the event of an attacker obtaining your account's credentials.
The principle of least privilege requires that users are granted enough privileges to complete their respective tasks. If your application uses a backend database server, take the following steps to ensure that your application applies the principle of least privilege:
Identify all database accounts that the application uses. List all of the application's database accounts existing on the various servers it uses. The database account information can usually be obtained from the connection strings in the web.config file. If hard-coded account details are found in the application code, they should be changed to refer to configurable connection strings.
Identify the roles associated with each database account. Identify the database actions that each account performs. Using a matrix, identify the minimum set of privileges that each account requires:
Identify the minimum set of privileges that each account/role requires: Determine the tables and stored procedures accessed and the actions(read, write, drop, create, etc) performed on the tables by each account/role. This can be determined from the sections of code where the application accesses the back-end database.  Compare each account's intended privileges against its actual privileges. Verify that no account is granted extra privileges.
Use the following steps to apply the principle of least privilege to the application's database accounts:
Identify all database accounts. Create a list with all of your application's database accounts and the respective servers and databases that they connect to.
Identify the roles associated with each database account. Understand the purpose of the accounts and the functionality they will be executing. Using a table, map all accounts to the privileges they require. None of the application's accounts should have administrative rights on the database server.
Set appropriate privileges. Once all accounts and their roles have been identified, set the appropriate privileges at the respective database servers. Make sure that each account has enough privileges to execute the assigned tasks only. Any extra privileges should be revoked.
Use the following guidelines to determine appropriate access permissions:
Ideally, provide no direct table access and limit access to selected stored procedures only.
If you must grant table access, grant the minimum access that the application requires. For example, do not grant update access if read access is sufficient.
Use a database role, to avoid granting permissions directly to the database user. This isolates you from potential changes to the database user name. For example, if you change the database user name, you can simply add the new user to the database role and remove the existing one.
If an application needs to affect many databases, or if an application is complicated, consider using separation of privilege by partitioning the database access into different accounts. For example, create a database user that only has permissions necessary to setup new application users, and then create a separate database user to carry out operations permitted by legitimate application users.

SETI—the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence—has been one of the most captivating areas of science since its inception in 1960, when the astronomer Frank Drake used an 85-foot radio telescope in the first-ever attempt to detect interstellar radio transmissions sent by beings outside our solar system. Yet despite its high public visibility and near-ubiquity in blockbuster Hollywood science fiction, throughout most of its 55-year history SETI has languished on the fringes of scientific research, garnering relatively scant funding and only small amounts of dedicated observation time on world-class telescopes.
Today, in a live webcast originating from London and set for 6:30 am Eastern, the Russian entrepreneur Yuri Milner, along with the physicist Stephen Hawking, is announcing his intentions to change that. Watch the live streamed event below, starting at 6:30 am.
Although Milner has made his name—and billions of dollars—through investments in Facebook, Alibaba, and many other tech start-ups, his true passion is science, which he has demonstrated through his formation of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. This organization awards the world's most lavish scientific prizes. Milner's latest project is part of the Foundation's new Breakthrough Initiatives division and is called Breakthrough Listen. Providing $100 million in funding over the next decade to top SETI researchers, Breakthrough Listen will allow new state-of-the-art radio and optical surveys to take place using the world's premiere telescopes, creating the most ambitious and robust SETI program yet performed. The project is set to begin making observations in 2016.
Following the live webcast, Milner and distinguished scientists participating in Breakthrough Listen will conduct a media teleconference to discuss the new project and answer questions. Scientific American will continue to follow this story as it develops.

ATTN: Sir/Madam. My name is MR YARO BAMIYI, the eldest son of Rtd General BUBA S.G.BAMIYI, who was the estwhile Minister of the Federal Capital territory Abuja in thelate General Sani Abachas Regime of 1993-1998.I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit; utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer of $25M that is presently putting my entire family into great disarray. You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair, I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance to me. So,I decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required for us to immediately transfer the said funds out of the country. During the time my father was in the government with the late General Sani Abacha as the head of state,they were both involved in several deals that yielded Billions of Dollars. The prominent amongst the deals was monies that emanated from funds set aside for the importation of Arms and Ammunitions to boost the Nigerian Defense, funds set to embark on an oversea ampaign to counter the United States action to put a stop to the self succession bid of the Abacha government to retain power, and monies set aside to rehabilitate the ailing Nigerian Petroleum Refineries and the National Electric Power Authority which supplies Electricity to the entire nation. If you are conversant with world news, you would understand better. During this period my father was able to make some good money for himself and kept in his private bank accounts. The then head of state General Sani Abacha transferred his share of the money through a Lebanese businessman, Chagoury and a Jewish businessman, Mark Rissar to bank accounts overseas. Unfortunately, all the secrets were revealed by the investigation agencies set up by the successive governments and most of the Abacha?s loots were traced and repatriated fromthe various accounts to the Federal Government Treasury. Out of the money my father made, he left the sum of N50 Million (Fifty Million Naira) in the CBN escrow account for further transfer into a foreign account and a sum of $25M (TWENTY-FIVE Million Dollars) was kept in a Private security firm here in Nigeria. Through the confessions made by the Abacha?s Family, the N50 Million was recovered by the investigating agency from the CBN escrow account. But were unable to discover the $25M, which he kept in the vaults. The reason is because no names were used to lodge in the funds.Instead, he used PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN) and declared the contents as Bearer Bonds and Treasury Bills. Also the firm issued him with a certificate of deposit of the consignments. Note thatI have these information in my custody. Right now, my father has been arrested and detained for interrogation. As the eldest son of my Father, I believe that I owe the entire family an obligation to ensure that the $25M is successfully transferred abroad for investment purposes. With the present situation, I cannot do it all by myself. It is based on this that I am making this contact with you. I have done a thorough homework and fine-tuned the best wayto create you as the beneficiary to the funds and effect the transfer accordingly. Is rest assured that the modalities I have resolved to finalize the entire project guarantees our safety and the successful transfer of the funds. So, you will be absolutely right when you say that this project is risk free and viable. If you are capable and willing to assist,contact me at once via email for more details. Believe me, there is no one else we can trust gain.All my fathers friends have deserted us after exploiting us on the pretence of trying to help my father. As it is said, "it is at the time of problems that you know your true friends". So long as you keep everything to yourself, we would definitely have no problems. For your assistance, I am ready to give you as much as 20% of the total funds after transfer and invest a reasonable percentage into any viable business you may suggest. Please, I need your assistance to make this happen and please; do not undermine it because it will also be asource of up liftment to you also. You have absolutely nothing to loose in assisting us instead,you have so much to gain. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Best Regards MR.YARO BAMIYI.

MAL
3. What’s new/changed in
v2010-10-19
MAL is a collection of Microchip firmware libraries
and demo projects. Not all firmware libraries and demo projects from Microchip
are distributed with MAL; rather, MAL includes a few specific libraries that
tend to be used together.
By distributing libraries that are used often
together, Microchip can provide example projects that integrate the use of
multiple libraries.
Some example projects that use multiple libraries
are:
Graphics MultiApp Demo
PIC18F Starter Kit 1
PIC24F Starter Kit 1
PIC24H Starter Kit 1
TCPIP MDD Demo App
USB Host – Printer – Print Screen Demo
USB Host – Printer – Simple Full Sheet Demo
USB Host – Printer –
Simple POS Demo
MAL is currently being distributed mainly in the source
code form to provide the maximum flexibility for end designers to customize
firmware to fit his/her applications.
To obtain the latest version of MAL, you can download it from the
Microchip web site at www.microchip.com/MAL.
Once the MAL package is downloaded, first unzip the downloaded zip file
and run the setup executable.
Currently, MAL does not provide an uninstaller. To uninstall, simply
delete the installation folder and the short cut menu folder. No registry edits
were made during the installation.
Some users may need to install multiple instances of MAL; this can be
done simply by selecting a different installation path and shortcut menu
folder.
When upgrading from a previous MAL version, it is recommended that users
install the newer MAL to a different installation path, and then consult each
individual library release notes for changes that may impact application
project. This method is safer than just overwriting the previous installation.
For a full list of changes, read each individual library’s release notes
after installation. This section
provides only a summary of key changes:
