Editorial: Why isn't Ehime Gov. Nakamura summoned to testify on Kake case in Diet?
We probably should have known. During intensive deliberations in the budget committees of both the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors attended by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, little progress was made in getting to the bottom of the alleged cronyism scandal surrounding Kake Educational Institution's vet school.
This is due to the ruling coalition's refusal to summon Tokihiro Nakamura, the governor of Ehime Prefecture, where the vet school is located, to the Diet as a witness. Nakamura slammed the testimony given to the Diet by former executive secretary to Prime Minister Abe Tadao Yanase on May 10 as having contradictions, saying that, "Others are becoming embroiled in (his) lies."
Gov. Nakamura argues that a memo kept by a prefectural official who met with Yanase to discuss the Kake school is highly credible. The record indicates that Yanase called the establishment of the Kake vet school in the Ehime Prefecture city of Imabari a "matter concerning the prime minister," and provided prefectural officials and others present at the meeting with specific advice on how to successfully bring the school to Imabari; the memo leads us to the essence of questions that have yet to be answered. Gov. Nakamura even released a copy of Yanase's then business card, with the date that it was received by Ehime prefectural officials -- April 2, 2015 -- stamped on it.
Meanwhile, Yanase finally acknowledged that he probably met with Ehime government officials at a meeting where others were present, but denied that he said anything about the Kake vet school being a "matter concerning the prime minister." His testimony regarding what he spoke about, and with whom, remained vague.
The Diet is a place where such discrepancies are meant to be investigated. Gov. Nakamura has expressed his willingness to appear in front of the Diet. To actively bring in former Ehime Gov. Moriyuki Kato -- who was a strong advocate for establishing the vet school in Imabari and argues that procedures that were followed in setting up the school were appropriate -- to testify in the Diet, while refusing to summon incumbent Gov. Nakamura as a witness shows an absolute lack of fairness. Such action makes us even more suspicious that the ruling coalition is afraid that the credibility of Yanase's testimony will burst open at the seams if Gov. Nakamura were to testify.
Prime Minister Abe virtually spent all of the intensive deliberations in the two chambers' respective budget committees repeating that Yanase's meeting with parties involved in the Kake vet school's establishment did not affect procedures to make that a reality, and that he himself did not give any instructions on how the case should be handled.
Is it true that Yanase, then an executive secretary to Abe, did not report back to the prime minister about his meeting with officials from Kake Educational Institution, the Ehime Prefectural Government and the Imabari Municipal Government? Is it true that Abe did not know about the plans made by Kake Educational Institution -- run by his close friend, Kotaro Kake -- to set up a veterinary school in Imabari until January of last year? We cannot say that our questions have been answered.
During Diet deliberations, the prime minister reiterated that the Kake vet school received so many applications that it was able to accept only one in every 20 applicants -- as if the school's popularity attests to the righteousness of the process through which the school was founded.
It goes without saying, however, that what is being called into question is not whether it was good or bad that the school was established. Rather, the problem is whether Kake Educational Institution was selected from the outset as the operator of a vet school in Imabari because of Abe's friendship with the school operator's chairman. It appears to us that Prime Minister Abe is aware of what is actually being asked, but is deliberately evading it.
We must not allow the probe into the scandal to regress. The facts must be confirmed. Prime Minister Abe, who is also the president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, could easily make the summoning of Gov. Nakamura to testify in the Diet a reality if he chose to do so.

“Nanoemulsion” gels offer new way to deliver drugs through the skin
Novel materials made with FDA-approved components could deliver large payloads of active ingredients.
MIT chemical engineers have devised a way to convert liquid nanoemulsions into solid gels. These gels (red) form almost instantaneously when drops of the liquid emulsion enter warm water( Image: Courtesy of the MIT researchers)
MIT chemical engineers have devised a new way to create very tiny droplets of one liquid suspended within another liquid, known as nanoemulsion. Such emulsions are similar to the mixture that forms when you shake an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, but with much smaller droplets. Their tiny size allows them to remain stable for relatively long periods of time.
The researchers also found a way to easily convert the liquid nanoemulsion to a gel when they reach body temperature (37 degrees Celsius), which could be useful for developing materials that can deliver medication when rubbed on the skin or injected into the body.
“The pharmaceutical industry is hugely interested in nanoemulsions as a way of delivering small molecule therapeutics. That could be topically, through ingestion, or by spraying into the nose, because once you start getting into the size range of hundreds of nanometers you can permeate much more effectively into the skin,” says Patrick Doyle, the Robert T. Haslam Professor of Chemical Engineering and the senior author of the study.
In their new study, which appears in the June 21 issue of Nature Communications, the researchers created nanoemulsions that were stable for more than a year. To demonstrate the emulsions’ potential usefulness for delivering drugs, the researchers showed that they could incorporate ibuprofen into the droplets.
Seyed Meysam Hashemnejad, a former MIT postdoc, is the first author of the study. Other authors include former postdoc Abu Zayed Badruddoza, L’Oréal senior scientist Brady Zarket, and former MIT summer research intern Carlos Ricardo Castaneda.
One of the easiest ways to create an emulsion is to add energy — by shaking your salad dressing, for example, or using a homogenizer to break down fat globules in milk. The more energy that goes in, the smaller the droplets, and the more stable they are.
Nanoemulsions, which contain droplets with a diameter 200 nanometers or smaller, are desirable not only because they are more stable, but they also have a higher ratio of surface area to volume, which allows them to carry larger payloads of active ingredients such as drugs or sunscreens.
Over the past few years, Doyle’s lab has been working on lower-energy strategies for making nanoemulsions, which could make the process easier to adapt for large-scale industrial manufacturing.
Detergent-like chemicals called surfactants can speed up the formation of emulsions, but many of the surfactants that have previously been used for creating nanoemulsions are not FDA-approved for use in humans. Doyle and his students chose two surfactants that are uncharged, which makes them less likely to irritate the skin, and are already FDA-approved as food or cosmetic additives. They also added a small amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG), a biocompatible polymer used for drug delivery that helps the solution to form even smaller droplets, down to about 50 nanometers in diameter.
“With this approach, you don’t have to put in much energy at all,” Doyle says. “In fact, a slow stirring bar almost spontaneously creates these super small emulsions.”
Active ingredients can be mixed into the oil phase before the emulsion is formed, so they end up loaded into the droplets of the emulsion.
Once they had developed a low-energy way to create nanoemulsions, using nontoxic ingredients, the researchers added a step that would allow the emulsions to be easily converted to gels when they reach body temperature. They achieved this by incorporating heat-sensitive polymers called poloxamers, or Pluronics, which are already FDA-approved and used in some drugs and cosmetics.
Pluronics contain three “blocks” of polymers: The outer two regions are hydrophilic, while the middle region is slightly hydrophobic. At room temperature, these molecules dissolve in water but do not interact much with the droplets that form the emulsion. However, when heated, the hydrophobic regions attach to the droplets, forcing them to pack together more tightly and creating a jelly-like solid. This process happens within seconds of heating the emulsion to the necessary temperature.
MIT chemical engineers have devised a way to convert liquid nanoemulsions into solid gels. These gels (red) form almost instantaneously when drops of the liquid emulsion enter warm water.
Tunable properties
The researchers found that they could tune the properties of the gels, including the temperature at which the material becomes a gel, by changing the size of the emulsion droplets and the concentration and structure of the Pluronics that they added to the emulsion. They can also alter traits such as elasticity and yield stress, which is a measure of how much force is needed to spread the gel.
Doyle is now exploring ways to incorporate a variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients into this type of gel. Such products could be useful for delivering topical medications to help heal burns or other types of injuries, or could be injected to form a “drug depot” that would solidify inside the body and release drugs over an extended period of time. These droplets could also be made small enough that they could be used in nasal sprays for delivering inhalable drugs, Doyle says.
For cosmetic applications, this approach could be used to create moisturizers or other products that are more shelf-stable and feel smoother on the skin.

Major in environmental studies at Ithaca College.
As an environmental studies major, I was proud to be part of a group gathering to tell Congress and the Obama administration that we believe that dealing with climate change is not only the key to overcoming the economic crisis but is imperative to the survival of our planet. The conference was everything I hoped it would be and more.
Twenty IC students drove down to Washington, but none of us anticipated the enormous crowd that greeted us on our arrival at the Washington Convention Center. Approximately 12,000 young people had arrived to lobby Congress. Our hearts raced as we realized we were part of an historic event much bigger than we could have ever imagined.
That first night we listened to speakers discuss climate issues and energize us for the weekend ahead. Among them were Van Jones, founding president of Green for All, as well as Majora Carter, an activist from the South Bronx, and other environmental leaders. Nearly every sentence spoken was punctuated with applause, and each speaker received a standing ovation. Clearly, we were ready to make environmental change happen!
One speaker was especially memorable: an extraordinarily brave six-year-old girl who walked on stage with her mother to address a crowd of thousands. “I wanted to thank you all for trying to make the world a better place for me and my friends,” she told us. As a college student, I think of myself and friends as the future, but seeing this little girl speak opened my eyes to the fact that we are also fighting for future generations as well as own.
On Saturday, we attended workshops and panels. Topics ranged from climate change to fair trade to promoting environmental awareness on campuses. I was especially excited to hear one of my role models, environmental activist and writer Bill McKibben. Ralph Nader even showed up to speak!
In our free time we visited environmental campaign tables that were spread throughout the conference. Organizations were looking to spread the word and recruit “leaders” (which our nametags proclaimed us to be).
Of course the conference wasn’t all business. At the end of the day, we enjoyed some amazing live entertainment, including Santigold and The Roots!
Sunday brought more workshops -- and a five-hour lobby training session to prepare us for Monday when we would no longer be just college students but lobbyists, walking the halls of Congress to attend 350 meetings arranged by Power Shift. I’ll never forget the passion I felt talking to members of Congress about we want -- and need -- to see in climate legislation.
At day’s end, we headed to the front lawn of the Capitol, holding signs advocating for environmental change, and wearing green hard hats. We wanted everyone on Capitol Hill to know that there are thousands of us throughout the country and the world who care about our collective future on this planet.
Power Shift 2009 was the largest gathering of climate and clean energy activists in U.S. history; I am so proud to say I was there. It is empowering to know that there are thousands of other college students in the world who understand that climate change needs to be addressed now. The Green Revolution has started, and we’re all a part of it!

Unfortunately, it very much reflects what I’m seeing when I travel between Jerusalem and Ramallah. A brand new “terminal” is being built to replace the Qalandia checkpoint, which I’m told is going to be run by civilians.It looks very much like an international border crossing. It even has disabled parking spots. Israel is very clearly consolidating their hold on East Jerusalem.
Pictures and a fuller report will hopefully follow soon.

Dungeon and Dragons is an intimidating fandom. Obsession with the Forgotten Realms world usually starts at an early age when the brain is like a sponge, able to retain all the intricate details of the sprawling world. It has board games, hundreds of fiction books, video games, and of course, the classic pen and paper RPG. Now that being a dork is considered cool, more people than ever want to dive into the Dungeons and Dragons many worlds, including our boss man, Bilal Mian. But as an adult, the dive can be a daunting one when there’s so much out there. Board games are expensive and pen and paper RPGs have steep learning curves. That’s why Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation is so appealing: it’s an entry level game into the world of Dungeons and Dragons.
Candlekeep is a dungeon-crawling, procedurally generated digital board that follows the story of Tomb of Annihilation, a new series set to debut within the D&D world.
Developed by BKOM Studios, Candlekeep takes care of all the minute details of the RPG campaign for you, allowing you, the player, to simply focus on exploring the dungeons and fighting the enemies in turn-based fashion. With Candlekeep, you don’t have to worry about how to best level your character based on his or her class. Experience is even across the board for all four characters. Skills are automatically added to your hotbar and the loot is automatically placed in your inventory. And the game even auto-equips the best items. All you really have to worry about while playing the game is exploring and fighting enemies.
This simplicity does come at a cost. Because the four main characters are pre-generated and the game handles so much of the number intensive mechanics, Candlekeep suffers from a lack of individuality. Role-playing isn’t where a game like Candlekeep is going to excel. Sure, the dungeons are procedurally generated and that makes every quest unique in its execution, but the goals and the characters remain the same, so if you want an RPG to immerse yourself in, Candlekeep isn’t it. You’d be better off with something like Divinity: Original Sin or even Dragon Age Origins.
But if you want a Dungeons and Dragons virtual board game experience to play with your friends, Candlekeep looks solid and at a price point of $15, it’s significantly cheaper than any other alternative. And who knows? Maybe it’s the gateway drug your friends need to get into the harder D&D games.
Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation is slated to release sometime in October of 2017 on PC.


FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski suggested at an FCC field hearing this week that the federal government might create its own "version of iTunes." Multichannel News reports:

The chairman asked panelists to think about the value of a clearinghouse where best practices could be shared. He suggested that might be a way to spur the spin-off of public-sector apps from private sector initiatives and to prevent reinventing the wheel, rather than tapping into what is already being done. There is not a lot of shared info out there, he said.

If all we're talking about is a clearinghouse that provides easy access to apps for government-developed apps, Google Code or SourceForge may be a better model than iTunes--though perhaps without the instant name recognition by ordinary consumers. Like SourceForge, Google Code allows hosting and management of open source projects, including Google's own products. iTunes, by contrast, essentially offers consumers finished apps. Also, iTunes is a stand-alone piece of software, of which the Apps Store is just one part, while I can't imagine why Genachowski's "store" need be anything more than a website.

Whatever the analogy, such a "store" could well be a valuable tool for sharing the benefits of software development by government employees, both with the private sector and among federal agencies as well as state, local and even foreign governments. But what, exactly, Genachowski had in mind for the store remains awfully vague: Multichannel News mentions, as examples, "applications that do everything from monitoring heart rates and blood sugar to checking for greenhouse gas levels." If the idea ever goes anywhere, it should be based on two principles:

All apps should be open source and available to all users to use as they see fit.

The store should be limited to apps developed by government employees to meet the needs of government agencies.

These principles would maximize the store's value in making taxpayer-funded software development easily accessible. As a moral matter, it might be appropriate to limit access to U.S. taxpayers, but why bother? Attempting to authenticate users would add unnecessary complexity and raise privacy concerns needlessly: Any app we wouldn't want to fall into the hands of, say, North Korea, simply shouldn't be in the store at all. Sharing apps internationally would expand the potential developer base while helping to public and private sectors alike in the U.S. and abroad. If a school district in Sheboygan, WI or a village in Sudan can benefit from an app rather than starting over, so much the better for everyone!

The second requirement, combined with the open source requirement, would also help to reduce direct competition between government coders and private coders. A clearinghouse for apps government truly needs to develop on its own makes a great deal of sense: If we're already paying a government-employee to write an app so his agency can function more effectively, that should be shared. But a broader "public option for software" could well harm both for-profit and not-for-profit development of software by the private sector. Unless its mandate were carefully constrained by statute, such a clearinghouse could easily grow into a "public works" program for the digital age, with pressure rising for government to fund software development for as a "public good." How to draw that line would be difficult, and it's probably not a task that should be left to the FCC; Congress should address the question.

Keeping government-developed apps open source would allow the private sector to benefit from public sector development, rather than competing with it. But if a private company wants to incorporate a government-developed app into proprietary software, they should be free to do so. The government shouldn't be prejudicing the private sector's choice of business models by requiring that its apps stay open source. Nor should the government prevent commercialization of software that springs from federally funded research, as currently permitted by the Bayh-Dole Act.

Perhaps the greatest danger of such a program is that it could become a vehicle for subtle government propaganda--in violation of existing laws against using taxpayer dollars to distribute propaganda inside the U.S. The iTunes store analogy is particularly inapt (no pun intended) because iTunes, of course, provides pure content as well as apps. But apps themselves could come with a particular slant because it is increasingly difficult to distinguish "pure content" from "pure apps." This danger could be particularly acute if the store turned into a "jobs program," which would be inherently political, just as FDR's New Dealers used programs like the WPA Arts Project to advance a certain ideological message, and New Deal programs in general as a way of rewarding supporters and punishing opponents. We certainly wouldn't a Republican administration, say, trying to take revenge on Google for its support of Democrats by investing public money into direct competitors to Google's software. Nor would we want to funding for software development to become just another dimension for the culture wars.

I've only heard that foghorn on rare occasians now Sputnik!
Like you Sputnik I lived in the heart of Dun Laoghaire as a child and often heard the sound of the fog horn. These people who lived in the more rural areas, such as Sallynoggin and the Farm, would not have the same experience of life by the sea that we did!!!!!
I did hear the fog horn sounding on last Sunday morning.
You are absolutely right about us rural dwellers. As a small boy I remember hearing the 'call' of the Fog Horn and donning my camogear Compass, Ration pack Huskies & Sledge, I departed the wilderness of Mounttown fought my way through the thick forests at Glandore House. By the little Sisters, some 3/4 mile from home I meekly fell upon their good hospitality and was soon on my way again, At Kingstown Grammar, the Indians were waiting for me, Hockey sticks at the ready, must have been 15 of them, all Girls and I retaliated with the ever faithful Hurley, Papist against Prod. I won and soon on my way again, waving at Paul McGrath in the Birds Nest. His little face pressed against the Barred, cold window.
As I rounded the bend at DeVesci, I heard them, the FOG HORN call, JUST LIKE THE Sea sirens in their nakedness calling the ships and sailors to the doom on the rocks.
I was almost there......exhausted and bloodied and almost one and a quarter miles from home ...indeed another Continent.
At Clarence St THERE IT WAS, I had the horn at last.... in my sights that is. And there looking on in awe at me were all the Yorkers... can it be that poeple live beyond Glandore House ?.
The East pier foghorn was going all night Sunday, I know cos I could hear it and we must be at least 2 miles inland and not only that, we had the windows closed. I suppose its because we,re up a bit of a height and theres nothing to block the sound.

Hopefully not, but if only for the kids, well ok then!
Now you know 2 things about me. I hate Christmas and Snow! Maybe because they're not related anymore!
Like Avionic, you are absolutely right. Indeed some of us, and not just a few, ventured into the Civilised world to receive an 'Hedgiemucation' from the Townie folk.
But hark......do I hear teachers Mr Seani Martin, Mr McDonald both teachers from the inner hinterland afar from us, where they eat their young , cycling many miles on their Rudge and Hercules bikes all the way from Clonkeen Rd by God to educate you townies also !!!!!!!

The freshman had season highs of 31 points and 13 rebounds to help the Wolfpack beat Florida State 84-66, a rare easy victory for a team that has spent the past month fighting through down-to-the-wire finishes.

C.J. Leslie added 19 points for the Wolfpack (19-7, 8-5 ACC), which led the entire night to snap a three-game losing streak to the Seminoles. It also snapped a four-game skid against FSU (14-12, 6-7) at Raleigh.

The Wolfpack dominated the boards and got plenty of second-chance baskets to earn a third straight win overall.

Warren, a 6-foot-8 forward, earned his fifth start of the season over fellow rookie Rodney Purvis, who had started all but two games this year. Warren finished 12-of-15 from the field and hit two 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

Warren offered a jolt for a team that had played seven games decided by four or fewer points since a 3-0 league start, with the Wolfpack going 3-4 in those games.

"I felt like our team needed something different in there right now," coach Mark Gottfried said. "I've told all three of those freshmen all year long: for our team to be great, all three of you need to play well. Tonight it just happened to be T.J.'s opportunity, and he was very good."

Warren came in averaging about 11 points and shooting nearly 62 percent from the field with 16 games in double figures. He topped those Tuesday while tying for the third-best scoring total by an N.C. State freshman.

"My confidence, it's always going to stay the same," Warren said. "It's something I can't lose. I just have to go out there and play the game. I've been playing the game a long time. … I just wanted to keep it up."

FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said Warren — who had 20 second-half points — was "a man among boys out there."

"He's a scorer and that's what he does," senior Scott Wood said. "He puts himself in the right position and the right situations to be successful and put the ball in the basket."


I often have my build output going to an editor window as well as the smaller tool window at the bottom.
When I double-click an error in the small tool window, it rightly brings me to the file with the error at the line of the error. Most of the time, this is what I want to do.
But occasionally I want to view the build error line in the larger Build Editor window. So I would like to have a feature so that I can right click on any line in the smaller build tool window and choose a new menu item to bring me to that same line in the larger Build Editor window.
This seems to work. Load the macro below and in the build window, do right click -> edit this menu and add the command to the menu. If you want to customise a menu that doesn't have an "edit this menu" option, you just need to find the name of the menu and edit it via macro -> menus.
Thanks Graeme! That works very nicely! +1!


IT poses Homeland challenges

New money likely will be needed to handle the Homeland Security Department's information technology needs, and based on existing agencies' track records, plenty of management problems will accompany that IT, according to a General Accounting Office report released Jan. 14.

In a study for the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, GAO identified $2.9 billion in IT funding at the agencies set to move into the new department — $1.2 billion in fiscal 2002 and $1.7 billion in fiscal 2003.

However, that is not going to be the total amount of IT funding the department needs, wrote Joel Willemssen, managing director of IT issues at GAO.

Other IT needs that are not reflected in those numbers could include multi-agency IT infrastructure — such as secure networks — as well as new intelligence systems and funding for existing agency missions that appear to be related to homeland security but will not be within the department. This includes programs and systems at the Defense Department and at the Federal Aviation Administration, Willemssen wrote.

Several of the organizations moving to the department with "significant" IT budgets also have a large number of outstanding IT management problems and recommendations, which GAO highlighted. Prominent among these are the National Infrastructure Protection Center, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Coast Guard and the Customs Service.

Most of the open recommendations involve information security, enterprise architecture, IT investment, and systems development and acquisition, all of which are basic parts of IT management, Willemssen wrote.

While the rest of the organizations going to the department do not have any specific black marks against them, "most are from parent organizations that, based on our prior work, still face IT management issues," according to the report.

Tall Tiger earns a call-up
Ben Martin, Friday, April 27th, 2018. Comments offContact the author
Emerging Colac footballer Adam Garner is likely to earn a call-up to the senior team for tomorrow’s clash with North Shore in Tom Simpkin’s absence.
Garner notched up two senior games in 2016 before spending the majority of last year with the Geelong Falcons, featuring in the team’s TAC Cup premiership.
He has ranked among the best players in the Tigers’ reserves in the first two rounds of the season, and Colac coach Kane Leersen said he was likely to come in for Simpkin, who will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
“That’s one positive out of all of this is that it creates an opportunity for someone like Adam who has been playing well in the reserves,” Leersen said.
Wingman Brendan Monaghan is also in line for a call-up with Simpkin’s brother Joffy set to miss the clash with a one-game suspension for striking St Marys’ Jacob Welsh last week.
For the full story see today’s Colac Herald.

Q:

max count for each partition in count windowing function MySQL

I am using MySQL 8.0
I have a table that looks like this:
id     user_id        item_id              time
1        3111           4423         2020-06-01 01:00:00
2        3111           4423         2020-06-01 02:00:00
3        2971           36           2020-06-01 01:00:00
4        2971           36           2020-06-01 02:00:00
5        2971           36           2020-06-01 03:00:00
6        2971           815          2020-06-01 22:00:00

I am trying to partition by user_id, item_id and create a column that counts number of row for that partition.
I've done:
select *
     , count(id) over(partition by user_id, item_id order by time) as cnt
  from table

This outputs:
id     user_id        item_id              time               cnt
1        3111           4423         2020-06-01 01:00:00       1
2        3111           4423         2020-06-01 02:00:00       2
3        2971           36           2020-06-01 01:00:00       1
4        2971           36           2020-06-01 02:00:00       2
5        2971           36           2020-06-01 03:00:00       3
6        2971           815          2020-06-01 22:00:00       1

Which is almost what I want, however I want max cnt value for each partition.
Desired output:
id     user_id        item_id              time               cnt
1        3111           4423         2020-06-01 01:00:00       2
2        3111           4423         2020-06-01 02:00:00       2
3        2971           36           2020-06-01 01:00:00       3
4        2971           36           2020-06-01 02:00:00       3
5        2971           36           2020-06-01 03:00:00       3
6        2971           815          2020-06-01 22:00:00       1

Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
This still outputs same result...
SELECT *
     , max(cnt) over(partition by user_id, item_id order by time) as max_cnt
  FROM ( select *
              , count(id) over(partition by user_id, item_id order by time) as cnt
          from table) subtable;

A:

Just remove the ORDER BY clause from call to COUNT:
SELECT *, COUNT(id) OVER (PARTITION BY user_id, item_id) AS cnt
FROM yourTable;

Using COUNT in this way will just return the total count of records for each user/item partition, which seems to be what you want here.

Searching for a residential treatment center for your troubled girl in Indiana? Check out Providence Pass. – alternative schools and school for troubled teens.
Searching for a residential school for your troubled girl? Though we are located in Central Florida instead, please discover what we have to offer your girl.
If a daughter is struggling, a caring parent like you will seek the best treatment to help her. Many parents might not want to search only for residential treatment centers in Indiana. Providence Pass (in Florida) helps girls from across the country.
How is Providence Pass different from all the other residential treatment centers in Indiana?
Firstly, Providence Pass is a Christian program which masterfully blends therapy with Christian principles. In most residential treatment centers in Indiana, you’ll find that your daughter will only receive one or the other, but we have found that troubled girls need both. If your daughter is battling depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder or any of the various difficulties facing teenage girls, she probably needs professional counseling. That’s why Providence Pass employs skilled and experienced staff who know how to help girls like your daughter.
Therapy alone isn’t sufficient, however. Maybe you have tried taking your daughter to counselors on your own, but nothing happened, so why keep trying? What we do at Providence Pass is surround girls in a therapeutic atmosphere, just not sessions. In this environment, everything around her, from staff to peers, is designed to help her. Still, the spiritual element remains most important. Everything we do at Providence Pass points girls towards a living, practical faith in Christ. What happens a lot of times for troubled girls is that they are able to change the way they act without truly changing how they think and feel. But when a girl is surrounded by living models of Christ’s love and becomes able to embrace that herself, she changes the way she feels inside and the way she sees the world. This is how Providence Pass can create an enduring change in your daughter.
Troubled girls in Indiana are pretty good at trying to protect what is causing their emotional pain and troubles. But by following these suggestions, you will be able to tell if your daughter is in need of help.
The teenage years are troublesome for any parent. Your daughter is most likely trying to assert her independence and move away from the rules of your home. This can be normal and even healthy, but sometimes this ordinary teenage rebelliousness can go too far. When that happens, it leads to issues which are in need of professional help, the kind you’ll find in residential treatment centers like Providence Pass.
The first things to be aware of are any sort of behavioral changes which have come about suddenly or dramatically. For example, has your daughter recently cut off friendships with girls she’s been friends with for a long time and started hanging out with a new crowd? Has her sleep pattern changed dramatically, either too much or too little? Is she lying compulsively? These are often the giveaway signs that something is really going with your daughter, and a place like Providence Pass can provide the solution. When girls are able to remove themselves from their troubles in Indiana and immerse themselves in a loving program like Providence Pass, they get a new chance to make changes and overcome their struggles.
Academics are a huge part of a child’s life. It is the practice arena for life, it is their first experience in a bustling social setting and it can determine which opportunities are available to them in life. As a result, you may be tearing your hair out watching your capable and once-studious daughter throwing her grades out the window and seemingly not even caring!
At Providence Pass, we offer a fully-accredited academic program. Your daughter will receive a level of individualized care that you won’t find in traditional school settings. We’ll let your daughter study at her own pace and provide her with all the access to personal help and tutoring that she needs. Over and over, we have found that these girls can perform as well as their peers if they are just provided the right atmosphere and attention to get them back on track and that is what we provide for our students. She can recover lost credits and get back on track to a successful life.
Providence Pass is a loving Christian residential treatment center for girls who are struggling with behavioral issues back home in Indiana. If you’re looking at residential treatment centers in Indiana, please consider expanding your search and give us a call at (866) 738-2785.
Excerpt about residential treatment center forgirls in Indiana, used with permission from Wikipedia.
Should you need help finding reform schools, schools for troubled teens, rehabs for teens or military schools, please let us know. Providence Pass is a therapeutic boarding school for troubled teenage girls offering teen counseling for girls with adoption issues (reactive attachment disorders), self-harm (self-mutilation) or cutting, or eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, anorexia nervosa). Other behavioral issues we deal with include: depression, post traumatic stress and anxiety. If you have an out of control girl, please consider this school for troubled girls that offers teen counseling and teen counselors for troubled girls. We offer counseling for troubled teens and out of control teens. We especially work with RAD girls and troubled girls who are adopted. Homes for troubled teens and boarding schools for teens don’t typically offer teen counseling and therapy, but we do. Among the best therapeutic schools with counseling – also referred to as “schools for troubled teens”.

← Jin Jing, Beijing’s Parody of Martyrdom
Restating the obvious: Tibetans are Asians. →
"The Martyrdom of Jin Jing" Sickens Australians
Posted on 12 April, 2008	by C.A. Yeung
Many Australians, including Olympic legend Dawn Fraser, Australian National University Professor Geremie Barme and one of this blog’s commenters named Aodaliyaren have openly expressed their contempt for the publicity stunts of the Beijing Olympics’ public relations agencies. These stunts are deliberate attempts to obfuscate the Chinese government’s unwillingness to fulfil its Olympic promise to cease its intransigent habits of human rights violations and to peacefully resolve ethnic tension in Tibet and Xinjiang.
The latest publicity stunt involves the exploitation of a disabled torchbearer named Jin Jing. A commenter who posts under the name Aodaliyaren (or Australian) has described the stunt as a “fiasco”. He calls into question the motive of publicizing Jin Jing’s story when he recounts the discrimination he experienced in Beijing as a disabled person. Aodaliyaren’s personal experience corraborates that of Australia’s greatest Olympian, Dawn Fraser, who recently announced her decision to boycott the Beijing Olympics. According to her interview with the Daily Telegraph:
Fraser denounced China’s attitude to the disabled, revealing she had seen disabled athletes being spat on in the streets of Beijing.
“The Chinese people didn’t recognise the disabled athletes,” the five-time Olympic Gold medallist said.
“Athletes got spat on by people on the street while they were there.”
Fraser revealed her horror at witnessing the demeaning treatment of disabled athletes under her care during university games in the mid-1990s.
One of Australian’s widely acknowledged China experts, Geremie Barme from the Australian National University (ANU), has used the word “sickening” to describe the way the Chinese Government and its Olympics public relations agencies have attempted to manipulate public opinion and falsely promote the Beijing Olympics as “peaceful” Games:
At the ANU in Canberra, China expert Geremie Barme says Chinese coverage of the torch relay has been “pretty grim”, with the emphasis on “protecting the sacred flame” as a matter of pride and patriotism, while throwing a blanket over any mention of human rights abuses in Tibet.
“It’s unpleasant in the extreme for those of us who lived through the Cultural Revolution (and) have lived through all the ructions ever since,” he says.
“It’s pretty disheartening. It’s actually … I find it physically sickening.”
Here is a word of warning for the CCP propaganda machine and its Western collaborators: you might be able to manipulate public opinion within China, but you will not be able to deceive the rest of the world. We are sickened in the stomach by your lies. Our rejection of the torch relay is only a start. The worst, for you, is yet to come. The avalanche has begun, and it will not end until it has finished its natural course. As for those Western public relations agencies who have orchestrated this debacle, I am not sure you yet understand the extent of damage, or its implications. But as a matter of basic humanity, I hope for your sakes that you will be able to escape from danger zone before disaster strikes. I have my doubts that you will be able.

Maybe Beijing’s PR agents will recruit South Park’s “Timmy” to be a torchbearer.

If she wasn’t holding the torch and towing the line, the Chinese government wouldn’t have given a second thought to running her over with a tank.
Kevin, the very suggestion that the propagandists who orchestrated this stunt give a flying f— about the disabled or compassion for the weak, reminds me of Kim Jong Il’s self-pitying song about being misunderstood:

Parmesan Kale Chips are crunchy baked pieces of curly kale (or you can use Tuscan kale) with a dusting of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese. They are best when baked in a convection oven because the heat circulation will ensure evenly crisped kale pieces.
Homemade Kale Chips are a healthy and gluten-free alternative to regular potato chips. Ideal for anyone on a low-calorie, low-carb diet, but tasty enough to tempt everyone. Put out a bowl at your next football party just for fun. They don’t keep long, but that should not be a problem: these Parmesan Kale Chips will disappear fast.
Toss the kale in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and chili powder until the leaves are very lightly and evenly coated.
Spread the kale pieces on a non-stick baking sheet. If you have a cookie rack that fits on a baking sheet and can go in the oven, this is even better. Spread the kale pieces on the rack.
Bake in the oven, using the convection setting, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the leaves are crisp and bright green.
Sprinkle with the Parmigiano Reggiano and serve.

Current modern scientific writing dates ts origin to 1665 with the publication of the first structured scientific journals: Journal des Sηavans (Savants), which was intended to cover all fields of knowledge, and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, which limited itself to natural philosophy (i.e., science). The latter publication continues as the longest running scientific journal in the world. The role of scientific publication from that time to now can be best summarized by Denis de Sallo, the founder of Journal des Sηavans, who wrote that "We aim to report the ideas of others without guaranteeing them." However, it was Henry Oldenburg, a founding editor of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, who began the practice of sending submitted manuscripts to experts who could judge their quality before publication - the earliest reported attempt at peer review. Scientific form and structure were not standardized at this time and comprised either letters or experimental reports. It was not until the 1730s, the era of Louis Pasteur, that the "methods description" approach was introduced. Gradually, the framework of "theory-experiment-discussion" became accepted practice in the submission of scientific manuscripts for publication. In the early 20th century, the use of the literary style waned, and the formal "introduction, methods, results, and discussion" (IMRAD) structure was gradually adopted, and after 1965, it began to predominate. This structure has become the framework for manuscript preparation and submission adopted by the American National Standards Institute as well as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. The purpose of the IMRAD structure is to logically address four questions: What is the problem? (Introduction); How did the researcher solve the problem? (Materials and Methods); What did the researcher find out? (Results); and What does it mean? (Discussion).
Research study design can be organized hierarchically based on quality of data from less to more rigorous. This has been referred to as study design based pyramid. There are three elements to any scientific writing: form , content , and style . An understanding of each element and their interrelationship within the writing process, particularly as it pertains to reporting accuracy, is necessary to adequately render research into publication. Form is the organizational pattern of the manuscript, compartmentalizing the content into various sections. This facilitates effective communication of scientific findings to others by a modular framework and perhaps, more importantly, allows the paper to be read at several different levels. Content concerns the details of and substance contained within the scientific framework. Style is the manner in which individual phrases, sentences, and paragraphs are constructed. Most scientific style manuals of scientific writing recommend that, in general, the active voice should be used instead of the passive voice. The active voice emphasizes the performer (or agent) of the action. Such sentences follow the structure "performer-verb-receiver." In contrast, the passive voice emphasizes the receiver (or product) of the action and follows the structure "receiver-verb-performer." However, it is sometimes preferable to write in the passive voice, such as when the performer cannot easily be named or if the performer is irrelevant, when discussing an experimental procedure in the materials and methods section, or when it may be necessary to position important information at the beginning or end of a sentence. Brevity and clarity are the hallmarks of accurate and precise scientific writing. A working knowledge of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage is essential to "tighten" text and create written precision.
Although a number of studies demonstrate excellent internal validity (well designed), their external validity (clinical importance) could best be described by the quote, "There is nothing worse than doing something well which never should have been done at all."
The IMRAD structure forms the basis for all scientific writing. As proposed by David Sharp, former editor of The Lancet, all prospective researchers and potential contributors would be well advised to consider the "six honest serving men" identified by poet Rudyard Kipling within each aspect of the IMRAD framework.
"I keep six honest serving men (They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who"

Amy was learning that if the Lord of Glory took a towel and knelt on the floor to wash the dusty feet of His disciples (the job of the lowest slave in an Eastern household), then no work, even the relentless and often messy routine of caring for squalling babies, is demeaning. To offer it up to the Lord of Glory tranforms it into a holy task. "Could it be right," Amy had asked," to turn from so much that might be of profit (evangelizing) and become just nursemaids?" The answer was yes. It is not the business of the servant to decide which work is great, which is small, which important or unimportant--he is not greater than his master. "If by doing some work which the undiscerning consider 'not spiritual work' I can best help others, and I inwardly rebel, thinking it is the spiritual for which I crave, when in truth it is the interesting and exciting, then I know nothing of Calvary's love," Amy wrote after many years of caring for (children she rescued from child trafficking).


How Trump Often Finds A Way To Say He Is Still Fighting When Faced With Defeat
By Tamara Keith • 3 hours ago
Now the story of a family reunited. They're originally from Yemen, and the Trump administration's travel ban had separated the parents from the children. The mother and father were back in Djibouti while their children were here in the U.S. NPR's Leila Fadel saw them brought back together this week.
LEILA FADEL, BYLINE: Ahlam Alsoufi drops to her knees in tears in baggage claim at the Detroit Metro Airport. She opened her arms, and her 3-year-old son, Muslim, rushes into them and hugs tight.
MUSLIM: (Speaking Arabic).
AHLAM ALSOUFI: (Speaking Arabic).
FADEL: Did you bring me a present, he asks his mom in Arabic. Her three other children wait to be enveloped in their parents' arms.
MOHAMED MOHSIN: (Speaking Arabic).
ALSOUFI: (Speaking Arabic).
FADEL: Ahlam's husband, Mohamed Mohsin, leans down to kiss his children. How are you, my loves, he says. It's been a long trip home.
MOHSIN: Two days, I didn't sleep. But wallah when I see them, I forget.
FADEL: Mohamed Mohsin is a Yemeni American truck driver. He was in the final stages of bringing his family to the United States when President Trump started blocking travel from several majority Muslim countries, including Yemen, which is still on that list today. His four children got their visas, his wife did not. They were waiting in Djibouti because the embassy in war-torn Yemen is closed.
And so he was faced with an impossible choice - leave his wife alone in a foreign country with no one or send his children, the oldest just 10 at the time, to the United States alone before their visas ran out. He sent the kids ahead. They stayed behind. That was over a year ago. Shortly after their story aired on NPR, the embassy in Djibouti emailed, and Mohsin's wife's visa was issued. This week, They arrived in Michigan.
MOHSIN: So happy, me and my wife - so happy. Believe me, I forget everything. You know, in Djibouti - you didn't know Djibouti - so hot, expensive, problem, plus no kids, plus ban. Almost crazy. But today, I'm so happy.
FADEL: His eldest daughter, Sara, now 12, stands nearby, first looking up at her dad in awe and then looking at her mother also in disbelief.
SARA: Yeah, so happy. I think this is not real.
FADEL: It's not real?
SARA: No.
FADEL: It feels not real?
SARA: No, it's not real.
FADEL: The 12-year-old has been the de facto mom to her younger brothers. For months, her parents promised that the visa would be printed and they'd be together in a couple of weeks. But weeks would pass, and they wouldn't come. So when they're finally standing in front of her, she says it's hard to believe it's real.
SARA: This is my best day.
FADEL: Her mother, Ahlam Alsoufi, pulls Sara into her lap and hugs her. She tells her how proud she is of her.
FADEL: These were the hardest days I've lived in my life, especially when my kids left, Alsoufi says. She holds her daughter tight. They're together now. The kids are different, bigger, especially the youngest. They pull six suitcases from baggage claim and set out to restart life in the United States together.
But the future, Mohamed Mohsin says, will be difficult. He's tens of thousands of dollars in debt. He hasn't worked in nearly two years, when he first set out to bring his family from Yemen. His house is gone. He sold his car, his truck - all to support his family.
MOHSIN: I'm looking for any job, any job because I have to take care of them. I have to cover my loan. I have a lot of problems.
FADEL: But today, he won't think about all those problems. Today, he says, he knows he's one of the lucky ones. Scores of other families are still divided by the travel ban. Today, he'll enjoy his children. Leila Fadel, NPR News, Detroit. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


When the bearded brigade came after her for daring to say “Faasla na rakhein, pyaar honay dein,” she didn’t get cowed.
I remember her as the flower-child in a sage’s body. I remember her youthful exuberance in the face of all adversity. I remember her because she introduced me to half of Twitter when she single-handedly conceptualised and hosted the Social Media Mela. I remember her because of our shared love for bad 80s pop.
We once bonded over our mutual love for the Wax song, ‘Right between the eyes’. As I write these words now, I’m listening to the same song again. It’s a love song, as much as this feeble blog is a love letter. But then, why does it feel like a bullet?

Change is, in a musical climate at least, unquestionably a good thing. With its proud tradition of laddish, loutish Madchester and Britpop monoliths, however, Manchester, England is perhaps not the city you'd first associate with pop evolution. But perceptions of its music scene are altering and, along with the likes of fellow Mancunians Egyptian Hip Hop and Delphic, Dutch Uncles are producing intelligent pop music that gives Britain hope of catching up with its European and American forerunners.

A NTP server can operate in three modes: unicast; anycast and multicast. In unicast and anycast modes, the client transmits a NTP request message to the server. The server responds with a NTP time message that the client uses for time synchronisation. In multicast mode, NTP time messages are broadcast at periodic specified intervals.
Primary NTP servers can synchronise with a number of external reference time sources. The GPS (Global Positioning System) is often used to provide an accurate timing reference. There is also a number of national time and frequency radio broadcasts available. The WWVB radio time broadcast is transmitted from Colorado and covers most of the US. The DCF-77 radio time signal is broadcast from Frankfurt, Germany, and covers much of central and Western Europe. The MSF radio time signal is broadcast from Rugby, UK, and covers the British Isles and much of Western Europe. Other local time and frequency radio broadcasts include: TDF, France, and CHU, Canada.
The current release of NTP is version 4. The only significant modification to the protocol between versions 3 and 4 is a slight header re-interpretation to accommodate IPv6.
SNTP is a simplification of the Network Time Protocol, where the complexities of the full-blown protocol are not required. SNTP can be implemented when the high synchronisation performance of NTP is not required. The message format of the SNTP protocol is almost identical to that of the NTP protocol. However, the complex subroutines designed to maintain a highly accurate synchronised time are removed or simplified. Small computers with reduced processing power, such as micro-controllers or monitoring equipment most often use SNTP. The SNTP and NTP protocols are fully interchangeable, a SNTP client can synchronise to a NTP server without any issues.
The original Network Time Protocol was introduced in RFC 958 (Request for Comments: 958). The full NTP version 3 protocol and synchronisation algorithms are described in RFC 1305. The SNTP version 4 protocols are described in RFC 2030.

Danny Fox Trio: The One Constant

Danny Fox Trio

The One Constant(Songlines Records; 2011)

Danny Fox (piano)

Chris Van Voorst (bass)

Max Goldman (drums)

One of the qualities that makes a great trio is the ability to reach deep into its own consciousness and bring out structures and harmonies that make the listener think. That's the reason why I'm really enjoying the debut from the New York based, Danny Fox Trio, The One Constant.

The material on The One Constant is dense, complex and exploratory. While the compositions feel very European, the trio make clear distinction between themselves and any overseas counterparts. On the "Next Chapter", Fox's playing has the feel of John Taylor, Tord Gustavsen and Thelonious Monk. It's rich and layered with little swathes of playfulness. As "Next Chapter" moves forward, I felt I could be listening to more recent Dave Brubeck material. Fox's playing is brisk with both a mixture of classical and improvised jazz aesthetics.

On "Easily Distracted", Fox displays hypnotic duplicity in both performance and writing. The later interplay between the members (especially with Van Voorst) is superb. The trio have been together long enough and know when to challenge and when to lay back and let the melody move freely. The ballad "Even Tempered" is beautiful and sits more in the classical tradition with what felt like a small bit of ragtime just underneath (probably my mind playing tricks but that's what I felt). It's a brief piece but it shows the real diversity of Fox's writing and the impressive dynamics of the trio.

"The One Constant" again takes the listener on a journey that builds slowly and rises with cinematic flare. It's an emotional piece that feels like a suite with various chord changes and mood settings.

The One Constantis an excellent debut from an American trio with bold, expressive ideas. The Danny Fox Trio might be one of those under-the-radar groups that you better get to know quickly because we may be talking about them for a long time to come.

[A case of renal pelvic tumor due to phenacetin abuse].
A 65-year-old female had been taking analgesics containing phenacetin, because of severe headaches since 1958. The total dose of phenacetin that she had taken was calculated to be 8.0 kg. She visited the department of urology in our hospital in August, 1999 complaining of gross hematuria. A solid mass was detected in her left renal pelvis on the abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan. Under the diagnosis of a left renal pelvic tumor, nephrouretectomy was performed in September, 1999. Histopathological diagnosis was grade 2 transitional cell carcinoma. Interstitial nephritis was also observed. Our case is the twenty-second report of an urinary tract tumor associated with phenacetin abuse in Japan.
