\section{Annihilator is Submodule of Algebraic Dual}
Tags: Submodules, Annihilator is Submodule of Algebraic Dual, Linear Transformations, Algebraic Duals, Annihilators
\begin{theorem}
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity.
Let $G$ be a module over $R$.
Let $M$ be a submodule of $G$.
Let $G^*$ be the algebraic dual of $G$.
Then the annihilator $M^\circ$ of $M$ is a submodule of $G^*$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By definition, $M^\circ$ is a subset of $G^*$.
Recall that by definition of algebraic dual, the elements of $G^*$ are linear transformations from $G$ to the $R$-module $R$.
By Submodule Test, it remains to be shown that:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | n = SM1
| q = \forall u, v \in M^\circ
| l = u + v
| o = \in
| r = M^\circ
}}
{{eqn | n = SM2
| q = \forall u \in M^\circ: \forall \lambda \in R
| l = \lambda u
| o = \in
| r = M^\circ
}}
{{end-eqn}}
Indeed:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | n = SM1
| q = \forall u, v \in M^\circ: \forall x \in M
| l = \map u x + \map v x
| r = 0
| c = {{Defof|Annihilator on Algebraic Dual}}
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \map {\paren {u + v} } x
| r = 0
| c = {{Defof|Pointwise Addition of Linear Transformations}}
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = u + v
| o = \in
| r = M^\circ
| c = {{Defof|Annihilator on Algebraic Dual}}
}}
{{end-eqn}}
and:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | n = SM2
| q = \forall u \in M^\circ: \forall \lambda \in R: \forall x \in M
| l = \map {\paren {\lambda u} } x
| r = 0
| c = {{Defof|Annihilator on Algebraic Dual}}
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \lambda \map u x
| r = 0
| c = {{Defof|Linear Transformation}}
}}
{{eqn | ll= \leadsto
| l = \lambda u
| o = \in
| r = M^\circ
| c = {{Defof|Annihilator on Algebraic Dual}}
}}
{{end-eqn}}
{{qed}}
\end{proof}

Tracking snow cleanup in Tri-Cities
Tracking snow cleanup in Tri-Cities »Play Video
TRI-CITIES, Wash. -- KEPR is rounding up a look at the cities' response to this significant snowstorm.
Plows and graders have been on the roads round the clock since the storm began.
This storm has really taken its toll on streets around the Tri-Cities and on drivers.
Don Sprinkle said, "It bothers me a little bit, but I watch what I'm doing."
He has a minivan with front-wheel drive and all-weather tires, but most still need street crews to clear the way.
They've been working 24/7 since the first bit of snow last week: clearing the roads while keeping a watchful eye on weather reports.
Paul Rhodes with Pasco said, "I'll check it every hour to see how close it's getting and which direction it's actually going to go."
Workers in all three cities changed out the blades on every snow plow at least once a day. It's the heavy-duty road graders that need more maintenance. In most cases, blades were changed every 12 hours.
The road graders really do the trick. They cut down to the asphalt, lifting all the ice and snow. Then crews will go through some of this de-icing material and fill in the cracks to help it melt a lot faster."
Pasco switched to a new snow-busting mix 2 years ago to help cut back on the wear and tear of their equipment. The recent storm gave them their first chance to use it. It's a gritty, sand-like substance that's heat-activated when mixed with liquid de-icer.
Now that most of the streets have been cleared, crews are gearing up for frozen roads, as the melting snow could freeze and cause new, more dangerous driving conditions.
"We usually would go at it with probably just sand," said Rhodes.
Drivers like Don are hoping it doesn't come to that.
He said, "If it gets here we can all wish for a Chinook."
Costs of the storm are not expected until the end of the week. Crews are still totaling up materials used and manpower needed. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9664962887763976}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '93846', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:F2UFTKWFU4XAW7JCH6OJQ64INIDEJAHH', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b3f42643-b5f5-480d-a883-09080605c94d>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 1, 23, 31, 15), 'WARC-IP-Address': '69.164.39.128', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:XRHTN2DZ3ISW3KSZ3QQ2JAWB4YUWDCW7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c2b1e71a-97ec-4f0d-a1d3-c9e435edefe7>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.keprtv.com/Tracking-snow--244808871.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:0090f03d-1eb2-44c1-8757-8578be38f0d7>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '344', 'url': 'http://www.keprtv.com/Tracking-snow--244808871.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2015-11\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for February 2015\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025081157684326172', 'original_id': 'f31527f00e419987f4a0c8c0015fdb12457d8731ed3caf010c6567bd71dfa9b0'} |
It is this time of the year when we are all going to Halloween costume parties, playing pranks on each other and visiting haunted attractions. Why do we do it? Well, we want to ward off the evil spirits while having fun in the process. There is nothing wrong with that!
However there are plenty of scary things going on in real life too. Instead of going to Knott’s Scary Farm, turn on the TV. We’ve come up with a list of modern world fears. We sincerely believe that 10 years from now you will be more afraid of hackers in Eastern Europe than from going to the dentist. In the year 2025, the Bogeyman will no longer be after you, he most likely will be after your virtual reality goggles and your credit card information!
Here are a few things people are scared of this Halloween
Early this week half the internet went down after an unprecedented DDoS attack. The attack was so big that people were unable to complain on Twitter, as Twitter itself was down. Experts say an army of smart fridges, webcams, DVRs and other IoT devices managed to ruin your Monday morning! This on its own sounds like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster, a bad one obviously. The media reported that some manufacturers left their devices so vulnerable to hacking attacks that they now are having some of their products recalled.
Imagine telling someone, 20 years ago, that an army of smart fridges and webcams would cause a major disruption in people’s lives! They would probably have laughed and brushed you off as a joker. Today though it is reality and is a real threat to our everyday life. Twitter and Facebook are like electricity, people start panicking when these services go missing.
So far we’ve learned that there are millions of people literally begging to be hacked as they don’t have their cell phone passwords set. The good news is that the other 2/3 of the US adult population actually have their cell phone passwords set and they are not interested in giving it up easily. Monsters are scary, but sharing your precious moments and credit card information with complete strangers whose main purpose in life is to ruin yours, sounds even scarier.
People should be scared, especially if they are not doing much to prevent hackers from stealing information from their smart devices.
The dog used to be man’s best friend, now it is the smartphone! A recent study confirmed that every day we spend more than four hours staring at our smartphones. We’ve never been as reliant on smartphones as we are now. With this in mind, we are attached to our smartphones and one of our biggest fears is of damaging them, or even worse, having our device in the hands of people who want to take advantage of all the confidential information on it.
So before you start watching horror movies at home – turn on the news channel, the threat is real and your fears are justified. Be prepared, be very prepared… by downloading the best free antivirus software in the world.
Panda Security wishes you a very scary Halloween!

Freshmen Orientation
Immersion of Regimental and Maritime Activities
The Academy’s indoctrination program, known as “Orientation,” will be the most rewarding experience of your life. Designed to quickly transition you to a regimented lifestyle, this two-week program builds teamwork, camaraderie, self-discipline, and time-management skills while immersing you in a culture of maritime customs and traditions.
Cadet leaders, known as “cadre,” will challenge you mentally and physically to prepare you to succeed at the Academy. Orientation will be the most demanding experience you have at MMA including physical training, hands-on instruction, teambuilding activities, and a cruise aboard the T.S. Kennedy. However, your new knowledge, attention to detail, resiliency, and bond with your shipmates will last long after Orientation Graduation. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9485225677490234}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '270972', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:SATXIOWVW4TC7TKJQJNZX25VHSJ56C2F', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:ab6c54fa-d051-4f8b-95fc-b12c7a7638bd>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 3, 15, 9, 53), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.185.0.4', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:Z3K2Y5L4LLHNVMLIH26QNIBITNXP7L4X', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:01d98f9f-e238-4068-9371-343c348a150d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.maritime.edu/regiment/orientation', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:895d6465-4148-4432-9b8b-eae412890b2e>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '115', 'url': 'https://www.maritime.edu/regiment/orientation', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-31\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July/August 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-217.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.059115827083587646', 'original_id': '5dcdf87ab0b1e8c089f1582c89213d9c159c93dec2793c56317d62dc8c27526a'} |
With an urge to remake old books and use their prior esthetics as a base for a new cover I started making these paintings. With simple quotes as a theme they are a extension of what a book is and what it can represent. Also how someone can change the meaning of it with simple trix, putting focus on the need for source criticism.

• Really excited, just booked our summer adventure. Sleeper train to Kingussie, then take 3 and a bit days getting all the way over Knoydart to Inverie and the UK's most remote pub. Then ferry and train back to Fort William and get the sleeper home. Can Not Wait.
Hopefully we'll have some spare time once we get to Inverie and can explore deeper into Knoydart a bit. All depends on the weather as to how easy that 90 odd miles is to cover.

Why do people use wins and losses to debate who is the better QB? Why so much ****ing emphasis on playoff stats like they're the end-all, be-all to an argument? QBs who play in a lot of playoff games are going to have the numbers.
If you take away Favre's 2 worst playoff games, then he has pretty similar stats to Brady.

Project 1 Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry a variety of RNAs, including both coding and noncoding RNAs. These RNAs have the potential to influence cell and tissue phenotypes. Indeed for miRNAs there are now many examples of EV-carried miRNA controlling gene expression and function in recipient cells. RNA-Seq analyses have demonstrated specific enrichment of some RNAs in EVs, compared to the cellular content. However, very little is known about the specific mechanisms by which RNA is transported into EVs. The current paradigm, based on several studies, is that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are responsible for the selective and specific inclusion of RNAs in EVs. However, how those RBPs connect to cellular membranes to be incorporated into shed microvesicles (MVs) or late endosome-derived exosomes is unknown. A notable finding is that many RBPs identified in EVs are typically associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in cells, suggesting a potential role for the ER in transfer of those moieties to other organelles. Furthermore, the RNA-induced silencing complex is assembled on mRNA-ribosome complexes associated with the ER (rough ER), suggesting a route for miRNA-RBP association with the ER and subsequently other membranes. Based on these findings and our preliminary data, we hypothesize that ER-plasma membrane (PM) and ER-multivesicular endosome (MVE) membrane contact sites (MCS) are critical for transfer of RNAs and RBPs into shed microvesicles and exosomes. We further hypothesize that signaling and lipid transfer events taking place at these contacts further regulate RNA transport into vesicles. We will test these hypotheses and determine the impact of MCS on transfer of RNAs to recipient cells and CRC tumor growth and cetuximab resistance. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'cbf5a95be5b9fc0b485db7a8fa4d1bf8d80362982fd0bbaee21be35e3b7ed169'} |

Refreeze cooked, packaged food
If something that is sealed in a package like a frozen pizza unthaws mostly or partially before you get it home to the freezer, can you still safely put it in freezer for later use?
Hi Cathey,
You're basically asking if you can refreeze something that has thawed. It doesn't matter if it's a frozen pizza, homemade meal or meat there are two factors at hand, is it safe and will the texture be OK.
I have written more about refreezing food before but here are the Cliff Notes version for you.
First let's talk about safety. Foods that need to be refrigerated, most stuff except baked goods, fruits and vegetables need to be kept under 40 F. So if it's warm you probably need to toss it. If it's started to smell bad you definitely need to toss it. And if in doubt it's better to toss it than get sick.
Texture changes some when food is frozen because the water in the food expands, some things then become watery when thawed and refreezing them changes the structure more.
As a general rule of thumb if a raw meal thaws cook it and freeze it again, assuming it was kept cold enough of course. If a pre-cooked meal freezes you should try to eat it right away given the same assumption that it's still safe. This helps with food safety and with texture.
As for a frozen pizza that you're bringing home from the store I wouldn't worry about it if it just thaws slightly during the drive home. Now if you run errands or get held up in traffic on the way home and it has a long time to thaw you might want to cook it before freezing it or just eat it right away.
If you know you have a long drive try to bag all the frozen stuff together. You can also put a cooler in your car and put frozen and cold stuff like milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream and pizza in there.
Hope that helps,

1. It has three tests, all of which count towards the final grade. You are provided with scores from all the tests from both semesters. You are required to compute summary statistics (mean and standard deviation) for each test, for both the semesters. These statistics would be used by the college to see if the student groups from the two semesters are different. You are given the following information to help you write your program: 1) The number of tests is three per semester 2) There are two semesters for which you need to compute the statistics 3) There are five students in the class, each time it is offered. 4) The following are the scores:
Fall Winter
Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Student 1 15 20 15 20 15 20 Student 2 14 21 14 21 14 21 Student 3 13 22 13 22 13 22 Student 4 14 21 14 21 14 21 Student 5 15 20 15 20 15 20
The following are the formulae for mean and standard deviation: ? mean = (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5)/5 ? std. dev. = Sqrt( (sum(xi2) ? ( (sum (xi))2/5) )/4) To solve the above problem, use the following: ? One or more arrays to hold data on 5 students, 3 tests, 2 statistics for 2 semesters. 5 points. An additional 5 points would be given if you use one array instead of two. ? Use methods to compute each statistic ( a method to compute the mean and another to compute the standard deviation).
? If you think they are needed, you may create additional methods. Note: You do not have to create any specific classes for modeling tests or students. However, you may do so, if you want to solve the problem using such classes.

Navigation: Log Line
The log line is an old instrument for measuring the speed of the ship. It consisted of a flat piece of wood (the log), which was weighted at the bottom edge to enable it to float upright in the water. To the log was attached a long rope (log line). The log line was wound on a spool (log reel) so that it could be reeled out after the log was thrown into the water at the aft (rear) of the ship. The friction of the water held the log in place as the ship sailed away from it. On the log line, knots were tied at intervals of 7 fathoms -- one fathom being equal to 6 feet. As the ship sailed away from the log, the sailors taking the reading would count the number of knots that passed over the rail in a period of half-a-minute. That gave them their approximate speed in knots (equal to land miles-per-hour). This was a rather crude way of taking the measurement of speed, but it was the best available in those times. In later times the sailors used a 28-second glass for speeds under 8 knots, and a 14-minute glass if the speed exceeded 8 knots-per-hour. But it must be remembered that the fastest the Mayflower would have traveled would probably have been between 4 and 6 knots.

Film Review: “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968)
I finally re-watched Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) last night for the first time in 45 years.
It was too long and lofty for me as an 10 year old back in the early 1970s to actually understand it–and I almost felt that way again this time around again.
But with the modern technology of FF and REW i was able to really see it in full detail and each scene several times over.
The entire film is actually 5 movies rolled in one. And only the middle section had any real drama to speak of.
It took Kubrick a full hour to finally introduce Dave and HAL, our protagonist and nemesis, respectively.
And their story-line only lasted 50 minutes. I really wished it was longer here.
The film is too long in 2 of the 5 sections: Parts 2 and 4.
Here are the 5 sections:
1) Prologue: Prehistoric man’s encounter with a strange, inert obelisk. Rectangular, slender, tall, ebony and shiny. While inanimate, it exudes an aura that fascinates the cave men. They see value in it. Is it Beauty? Power? Safety? What do those concepts even mean to a cave man? One thing’s for certain: Early man’s curiosity is awakened and this prompts the innovation of his first crude tool.
2) PanAm TV Commercial: Dr. Haywood’s trip to the moon is a visual masterpiece, albeit lengthy. It seems more about bragging rights for conceptual designs of future space travel than a movie sequence. Very little drama to speak of. Uneventful and existential. But in the end we arrive at the reappearance of the obelisk.
3) Dave and Frank travel to Jupiter. HAL9000 goes haywire.Bad things happen. Lots of tension and excellent storytelling.
4) Dave’s voyage unexpectedly jettisons past Jupiter to the far reaches of the universe. Very psychedelic and trippy. Way too lengthy.
5) Epilogue: Dave’s arrival at the end of his trip. The end of life (his life?) yet also a (or “the”) beginning. Did he discover life’s meaning?
This is the most fascinating sequence. I’ve had it memorized for over 40 years and seeing it again gave me the old familiar chills.
Kubrick had an agenda to demonstrate what our future would look like on an existential level…so he was stingy with compelling, forward-moving plot points. But it was realism, if only hypothetical. And it made its point loud and clear. It still does. You can count me as one person who is thankful to not be a space traveller because it looks DAMNED boring!
The accuracy in predicting how space travel and technology would look was uncanny. Including the introduction of iPad-like tablets, almost mimicking to their current size in 2018.

Peptides targeting caspase inhibitors.
Here we report on the identification of peptides targeting the X-inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP). XIAP functions as a caspase inhibitor and is a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family of proteins. IAPs are often overexpressed in cancers and leukemias and are associated with an unfavorable clinical prognosis. We have selected peptides from a phage library by using recombinant full-length human XIAP or a fragment containing only the baculovirus IAP repeat 2 (BIR2) domain. A consensus motif, C(D/E/P)(W/F/Y)-acid/basic-XC, was recovered from two independent screenings by using different libraries. Phage-displaying variations of the consensus sequence bound specifically to the BIR2 domain of XIAP but not to other IAPs. The interaction was specific as it could be blocked by the cognate synthetic peptides in a dose-dependent manner. Phage displaying the XIAP-binding motif CEFESC bound to the BIR2 domain of XIAP with an estimated dissociation constant of 1.8 nm as determined by surface plasmon resonance. Protein-protein interaction assays revealed that caspase-3 and caspase-7 (but not caspase-8) blocked the binding of the CEFESC phage to XIAP, indicating that this peptide targets a domain within XIAP that is related to the caspase-binding site. In fact, the sequence EFES is homologous to a loop unique to the executioner caspase-3 and caspase-7 that are targeted by XIAP. Finally, we demonstrated that an internalizing version of the XIAP-binding peptide identified in our screenings (PFKQ) can induce programmed cell death in leukemia cells. Peptides interacting with XIAP could serve as prototypes for the design of low molecular weight modulators of apoptosis. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '6ebf1008c7c31d486673a1aedc12b79c28ef39f2994e76ad425f25bbd8a80ece'} |

Recycling: Global Report Card
Increased world population and wanton consumerism have led to increased waste. Recycling reduces waste, reduces toxins released into the atmosphere from landfills (by diverting garbage from landfills), lowers the carbon footprint originating from municipalities, households, and industries; and reduces pollution generated in the manufacturing/ packaging of products; as well reducing the waste generated in the production/ consumption process. Here are the top 5 countries in the world, in terms of recycling rates-
Which countries recycle the most?
Germany Green Dot recycling
The Green Dot (recycling symbol that originated in Germany)
The top five countries for recycling are Germany, South Korea, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland. Germany gained number one status by implementing what is called the Green Dot initiative. In order to get a green dot on the package, manufacturers have to pay a fee based on the size of the packaging, which is used for recycling. Manufacturers have thereby been encouraged to reduce the volume of packaging, and to make packaging more easily recyclable. This encourages companies to produce more minimalistic and innovative packaging. They also came up with an intricate system of domestic and commercial sorting to make sure that every material is able to be recycled properly. The Green Dot recycling system started in Germany in 1990, and now has spread to 29 countries; 28 European countries, and Israel, and includes a partnership with North American countries. The following European (and 1 Asian) nations are the best at recycling in the world today (of the top recycling nations - Germany, Austria, and Belgium use the Green Dot recycling system):
5) SWITZERLAND- The Swiss national character places a high value on order and cleanliness - you can spend a couple of nights in jail simply for taking the recycling out on the wrong day - so it's no surprise they are among the best recyclers in the world. It actually costs a Euro to simply throw your trash away rather than recycle it. The government doesn't just bribe and coerce people to recycle though; there are also bottle banks at every supermarket, and free recycling collections provided to the public throughout the nation. Switzerland is busy creating a culture where it is actively unusual not to recycle.
4) AUSTRIA- Austria has taken a comprehensive approach to encouraging its citizens to recycle. The combination of economic incentives, the successful implementation of education and training programs, and memorable advertising campaigns have thoroughly convinced Austrian citizens of the value recycling; and helped turn Austria into the fourth biggest recycler in the world.
3) BELGIUM- Some people consider Belgium's recycling program to be the best in Europe. The Flemish part of Belgium has the highest waste diversion rate on the continent, with over half of its waste getting recycled or composted. What's more, the Flemish economy has grown significantly since 2000, yet the level of waste generation has remained consistently low; usually economic growth goes hand in hand with a rise in the production of waste. Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium, are three relatively small central European nations who continuously outperform much larger nations when it comes to recycling.
2) SOUTH KOREA- South Korea spends 2% of its GDP on a Green Growth Plan, hoping to deliver environmentally friendly economic prosperity. Its recycling industry is booming, and major companies are on board. Each apartment block has a fastidious recycling system similar to the Swiss model, where recycling is free but merely throwing items in the trash costs you a small amount of money. Wherever you are in the world, it seems economic incentives are an effective way of convincing people to care about recycling.
The #1 country in the world for recycling is GERMANY, recycling over 65% of its recyclable waste!
An example of a city that does an exceptionally good job of recycling is San Francisco, California. San Francisco boasts an incredible 80% recycling rate.The population of San Francisco tends to be more eco-conscious, which is part and parcel of the reason people in the city want to keep waste out of landfills as much as possible, and make the most out of resources like packaging that end up harming the environment when not recycled.San Francisco banned disposable plastic bags, which often end up in the planet's oceans, in 2007, and mandated recycling and composting in 2009, imposing a fine for not properly recycling recyclable goods. Portland, Oregon and Curitiba, Brazil are two other standout cities in recycling.
Who Recycles the Worst?
The worst countries worldwide for recycling are Turkey and Chile. Turkey recycles a mere 1% of its total waste. The government places little to no importance on the recycling issue. Chile is known for having bad infrastructure for waste management, and so a lot of illegal dumping occurs.

How Can We Improve Recycling Rates?
One major step many communities, municipalities, and governments worldwide have taken is educating the public about, and enforcing, recycling standards.Creating a penalty for not recycling is also a tool that can be implemented for increased community recycling. It actually costs you to not recycle, and people are mandated to throw out non-recyclable trash in a special plastic bag, in Switzerland. Examples of cities where you can be fined if you don't recycle include Burlington, VT, Dayton, OH, San Francisco, CA, and Cardiff, Wales.
In Denmark, trash disposal is closely monitored and regulated in order to ensure that maximal recycling is done correctly. Germany issues each household a few different colors/ categories of recycling bins. In 1990, Germany mandated a packaging ordinance that requires domestic manufacturers to be responsible for their own recycling, the aforementioned Green Dot system.
Recycling bins (color coded)
In order to improve recycling rates, it is important to make recycling receptacles ubiquitously available. This means both installing public receptacles, and providing recycling services free of charge to residential areas. Most people will choose to recycle when it presents no apparent added effort or cost. In addition there are ways to optimize the recycling process; such as a color-coded bin system to help with recycling sorting (one color for recyclable bottles, one for cans, one for plastics, one for paper products, etc...).When people have to overthink about which item goes in which bin, sometimes they tend to give up, and either throw recyclable material in a random bin, or just throw it in the trash.
Alternatively, there is the zero-sort recycling system (or, single-stream recycling - a system in which recyclable glass, metal, plastic, paper, and other containers, are mixed in the recycling truck or the recycling center). Zero-sort recycling infrastructure has higher up-front capital costs, and higher ongoing processing costs. However, zero-sort recycling avoids the problem of incorrect items (or just trash) placed in incorrect bins, which creates increased cost in the recycling process. Zero-sort recycling also lowers recycling collection costs, and generally results in an increase in potentially recyclable material making it into the recycling stream, as opposed to just ending up as garbage in a landfill. In fact, zero-sort facilities are a great way to avoid the apparent added effort of having to think about sorting your trash. Many people believe that, in general, most glass, paper, and plastic are recyclable, and everything else is probably landfill material. With zero-sort recycling, there is no added thought required. Some or all of these measures to help streamline the recycling process can be implemented (after being successfully legislated) by municipalities, local, state, regional, or even national governments; communities, towns cities, and even entire countries.
Most importantly, city officials need to evaluate the needs of their city. If it is particularly windy, they may need to provide covered bins for residence; if there is constant illegal dumping, they may need to provide more accessible recycling and trash centers. The needs of each community vary so widely that it is impossible to prescribe one generic solution. The important take away is that we all need to be doing something as a global community, to increase environmental welfare, and recycling is probably the easiest place to start.

Keilir is a hyaloclastite conical mountain located on the Reykjanes peninsula not far from the Keflavík International airport. The mountain is about 379 meters high, formed in a volcanic eruption under ice during the ice age. Keilir is popular among hikers as it provides great view over the peninsula from the top. The hike is not to hard and takes about 2-3 hours.
From Reykjavík take the Reykjanesbraut (41) and turn off the road where the sign says Keilir, towards Vatnsleysustrandarvegur road. Take the road towards Höskuldarvellir and park the car. From there it is a clear footpath to the mountain. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9376229047775269}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '35284', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:UQDPUW32LX7WFY4QCU66MHZURYRDJBR5', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:cf882fdd-81ab-484d-b169-2f24275cc7a7>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 19, 16, 47, 8), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.102.21.212', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:L23DELMGM2UKPML2P47Q5C5S5O2J6EBR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f4bb79bb-d4fc-4ba6-acda-3ea1af6fed9b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.funiceland.is/nature/mountains/keilir/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a6ef6ebe-1811-4a92-bce4-0b51fca13ddc>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '101', 'url': 'https://www.funiceland.is/nature/mountains/keilir/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-140-246-66.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.26920557022094727', 'original_id': 'c2a8808a1eb0d478eabbe42ab770ebbb009d985cf2a7e84b8946e39b9f2fa3ea'} |

Can I eat with the Fangs in?
NO… especially not after midnight! Just kidding, you can drink all you want but due to not being able to close your mouth completely this is not wise. You could swallow them as chewing could remove the suction seal.
Are the permanent, can I remove them?
YES, they are NOT permanent, they are caps which cover your existing tooth.
Can I talk with the fangs in?
Sure but sometimes fledglings who never have worn fangs before get a slight lisp which takes practice to speak. This is like getting your tongue pierced without having it permanent.
Does it hurt?
NO, but it will be weird, but I dont break the skin or do any form of operation.
How do the fangs stay in?
They are caps which cover your tooth and create a suction seal which holds them in most cases. Occassionally I get a customer who’s tooth just doesn’t hold and they will need an adhesive such as Spirit Gum or Polygrip.
What are they made of?
They are made from the same authentic dental acrylics and materials used to make dentures, temporary caps and retainers. All FDA approved.
How long does it take to make them?
Usually about 20-30 minutes per pair for basic sets like Classics and Liliths, but longer for more complex sets.
Can someone else wear my fangs?
NO – ONLY you can wear them as they are custom made to your own teeth.
What if I break my fang what do I do?
You need to come back to me and get a repair, this is free within 30 days or your first repair.
How much do they cost?
My rates have been the same for over a decade, my price is 99€ including TVA in Europe and $99 plus tax per pair / 2 teeth.
Can I order them through the mail?
YES look here.
I have a crossbite can you make me the fangs?
YES, but it might not give you a complete mouth closure.
If I have dentures can you make me fangs?
YES, but I will need a copy of your denture.
Can you make permanent fangs?
NO I am not a dentist, I am a special effects artist with dental training.
How long do they last?
Usually 2-3 years if you take care of them, however I have had people come back 10 years later.
Are they good for sex?
SURE! Fangs are good as a sex toy…. plus a great tool for socialization, pickup and of course foreplay. Just be careful not to break the skin or…. not a good idea. And be careful town there!
Can I drink with them in?
You can drink coffee, tea, soda, beer, water, and wine while wearing your fangs . But if you drink excessively heavy spirits such as Jack Daniels or Taquilia be sure to occasionally drink a chaser like water or soda to wash off the alcohol or they will eventually warp and become loose
Can I drink blood and break the skin?
No biting, only nibbling. Human saliva contains bacteria and is horrible for open wounds. These fangs are for theatrical purposes only! Human saliva is much dirtier than dog saliva, if you break the skin bring your victim to the hospital IMMEDIATELY to get a tetanus shot.
How to I store the fangs?
Store your fangs in a contact lens container or the box provided. Do not store them in water, as they will eventually become spotted with bacteria.
How do I clean the fangs?
Clean them ONLY with normal toothpaste. Never use whitening products on fangs. This will damage them.
Can I sleep with them on?
Never sleep with your fangs in; you might swallow them!
How long can I wear my fangs?
Never wear your fangs more than 12 hours at a time. You don’t have a natural bite with them in and this may cause jaw discomfort. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9233802556991576}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '52896', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:LYRQ2S4M3OO24JGYPMMDDBFSTIDV6MVL', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:253629ce-6236-4c61-a04d-59a33384e37e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 23, 8, 2, 56), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.185.159.176', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:J6T57GAVNFMQBQBAUNLOPW4J3V6OLAMV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:7a950902-b593-402b-afc1-7f14611603cf>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://fathersebastiaan.squarespace.com/fang-faq', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2e7b4547-c170-45de-81b3-5fb7560389c6>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '686', 'url': 'http://fathersebastiaan.squarespace.com/fang-faq', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-137-158-248.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-43\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.6948670744895935', 'original_id': 'b85578b0a853c853e0c056c55c83b6cc438d21bd8f7b4e1ba0f715196ba4775f'} |

Missah wrote: "I would never buy a bond fund and I suspect, without a shred of evidence, that the small individual investor gets ... on the spread when buying an existing bond."
Missah, a few comments on buying individual bonds. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we have 300+ different issues of bonds in the portfolios I manage, so hopefully I have learned a few things.
1) An individual can buy Corporate/Muni/CD bonds pretty easily these days. All of the large discount brokerages Fidelity/Schwab/Waterhouse offer them as "Over the Counter" offerings. The inventory available is changing in real time. What you see one minute might not be offered the next minute. You have to understand these are very different from listed stocks, in that some of these issues will literally go years without a single trade.
2) The buying of these issues is pretty efficient and cost effective. One of the big things that has helped is that you can generally get a calculated "fair value" plus see the trading history of the bond before you but it. In the old days, the dealers had all of the information and you were at a major disadvantage. These days, you can at least see the information in advance.
3) You can typically buy bonds at or slightly below their "fair value" as calculated by a third party. So if you plan to hold them until maturity you are set. You know exactly what your costs and yield are going to be.
4) If you decide to or have to sell them early, you might be in trouble. Unlike stocks that have either a market maker or a specialist assinged, bonds do NOT. So there is NO buyer of last resort. I have not had this happen to me, but it is possible that NO buyers will raise their hand when you want to sell. If you own GE or something comparable, I would not worry about a lack of buyers. If you own something obscure and the bond market it jittery, you might be in trouble.
5) All of our bonds mature in 5 years or less. That is by design as opposed to an accident. Every bond is bought with the intention of holding it to maturity. I have sold very few bonds in the last few years. Recently, I did sell a Chicago O'hare Airport bond due to concerns about Illinois budget troubles. It was a large number of bonds. In this case, I sold them for about 2% less than the "fair value" price. Luckily I bought them at a good price, so still had a capital gain. But this is a very high and painful bid/ask spread. You should NOT plan on selling bonds, because after a while 2% becomes a obstacle to good returns. Contrast this to a typcial bid/ask spread on REIT preferreds of ~ .6%.
6) There is a minimum commission and a maximum commission for each trade. If the minimum commission is say $8 and you buy 1 bond, you just spent .8% commision for that bond. So that would tend to have you buying 8 or more bonds at a minimum. Many of the bond offerings have minimum purchase quantities. I have seen these anywhere from ~5 to 150 bonds, each at ~ $1,000 per bond.
7) I am 98% comfortable with anybody buying FDIC insured CD's on the secondary market. The 2% discomfort is if they ever let FDIC fail.
8) I am 51% comfortable buying Fannie, Freddie, TVA etc government backed bonds. I agree with Jim that there is always some percent chance a future administration will choose to not support them. We should have let Fannie and Freddie FAIL but that is for a different post. . .
9) Muni bond are all over the place IMO. I would NOT buy any California or Michigan bond of any kind guaranteed by anything. It just varies by city, state as to whether you thing the credit risk is acceptable. The city of Vallejo, California literally went bankrupt in 2008, so caveat emptor. Some of us might remember WHOOPS bonds from 1983 that defaulted.
10) Coporate bonds are also all over the place IMO. You could be an unfortunate soul that thought you had a safe lifetime investment in GM bonds only to be wiped out.
11) For our accounts, I will NOT buy any bonds that mature in >5 years. VNOD,WRE and HRPN are exceptions. These all mature in either 10 or 30 years. I would own them solely because I hope I could easily sell them for a small bid/ask spread, as opposed to the OTC bonds with the 2% plus spreads. IMO we will have increased inflation sometime in the next 30 years, so I am unwilling to commit to holding 30 year bonds to maturity.

Sisällön kuvaus
The survey focused on Finnish women's computer gaming habits, interpersonal interaction while gaming and other people's reactions to the gaming.
The survey charted where the respondents used a computer (at work, during leisure time or at educational institution), where they played computer games (video games / digital games), for how long per day, whether they were satisfied with the amount of time they spent on computer gaming, and whether they did other things while gaming or concentrated wholly on the game. Views were probed on whether their gaming prevented or helped them to do other things or vice versa.
Further questions investigated the location of the computer used, whether the respondents had to negotiate with others to use the computer, other people's reaction to their playing, whether they played alone or with others and how, and whether they discussed gaming with others. The role of computer games in the lives of their acquaintances was also surveyed. The respondents were asked how often a number of statements relating to reasons for gaming and the role of interpersonal interaction in gaming were true in their case.
Other topics included what kind of feelings (e.g. tension, relaxation, anxiety, feeling of success, envy) the gaming aroused in the respondents and what kind of feelings were most important for enjoying the game, whether time went quickly or slowly while gaming, and what were their bodily reactions while gaming.
Background variables included the respondent's year of birth, education, household composition, number of hours a week R spent on study to gain a qualification, number of hours per day spent on household work, number of leisure time hours per day during the week and on days off, and the year R played computer games for the first time.

When Flora Purim and Airto Moreira moved to the United States from Brazil in the late 1960s, they brought something new to the samba-based music that North Americans had eagerly welcomed. Listeners discovered in Airto’s percussion a harder edge to the bossa nova, and beneath the lovely surface of Purim’s singing an urgency and a suggestion of modern urban pace that was absent from the languid sounds heard from the Gilbertos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, and Charlie Byrd, who had introduced bossa nova here early in the decade. In other words, Brazilian popular music was developing beyond “The Girl from Ipanema,” and Flora and Airto were on top of developments. This 1974 album is a beautiful progress report.

HI-FIVE Attends AMIA 2016 Annual Symposium in Chicago
By Daniela Lopez
Representing the HI-FIVE team during the AMIA 2016 Annual Conference was a great experience! I had the unique opportunity to meet and network with various professionals, students, and academics that either have interest in or are currently working in Health Information Technology (HIT).
Throughout the symposium, I had the opportunity to learn about relevant topics in contemporary healthcare. Workshops on topics such as public policy, value-based payments, and healthcare transformation paralleled the workforce needs we identified and provided further support for our HI-FIVE (Health Information For Innovation, Value, & Enrichment) training program.
One of the most rewarding experiences during the symposium was seeing a strong interest in the HI-FIVE training, which many healthcare professionals may benefit from. Similar to our findings from interviews of healthcare Subject Matter Experts, conversations I had with individuals at the conference mirrored those findings. Many attendees said that a program such as HI-FIVE would facilitate improvement in care from the front door personnel all the way to the physician’s office! Others expressed the importance of policy changes that have occurred, of which they were not familiar with. The diverse conversations I made during the conference made clear that our program could help all professionals in their daily activities.
Our courses presented from “Clinical”, “Administrative/IT,” and “Social/Peer” perspectives shed light on specific sessions from the symposium such as clinical informatics, nursing informatics, and prescription drug databases. Our demand for advances in and the utilization of HIT continues to increase and was apparent that a training such as HI-FIVE has a valuable and lasting place in the healthcare industry.
Our team had a great time sharing the HI-FIVE training program and learning about the great things our AMIA colleagues are up to! Check out our poster “Assessing Healthcare Workforce Training Needs for Health Information Technology-Enabled Healthcare Transformation” here. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '165fd63f5685339442b59bb2a53f02fbe4823737d274f37fdfb2a569099e9d24'} |
A 6-foot-long ‘sea scorpion’ swam and scuttled in ancient seas
The newly discovered Pentecopterus decorahensis was a 6-foot-long "sea serpent" that lived hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs.

Scientists have found evidence of a giant scorpion-like animal that roamed the seas hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs.
The research team named the newly discovered creature Pentecopterus decorahenis because it looks like early Greek warships known as penteconters. “Decorahenis” is a reference to Decorah, Iowa, near where the fossils were found.
Pentecopterus lived about 450 million years ago. It is the earliest known member of an extinct group of animals known as eurypterids that are related to hermit crabs, spiders and scorpions.
Most eurypterids of that time were relatively small -- about 2 inches long -- but not this one. Paleontologists said it was a giant that could grow up to 6 feet long.
It had massive spines on its front limbs that it probably used to catch prey. It also had a large paddle-like feature on its rear that helped it swim through the water. Scientists say it used its middle legs to scuttle along the bottom of the sea.
As for predators, scientists say it probably didn’t have any.
“Its main defense was its sheer size,” said James Lamsdell of Yale University, who lead the study. “I don’t think many things would have tackled it at all.”
The research team looked at more than 150 fossil fragments from at least 30 individuals. They described their findings Monday in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology.
The fossilized bits were not bones; Pentecopterus is not a vertebrate and it had no bones. Rather, the researchers examined unusually well-preserved pieces of the hard exoskeleton that these animals would have shed several times over their lifetime. If you’ve ever seen a cicada shell stuck on a tree, you know the amazing detail that an exoskeleton can reveal.
“We could see how the legs are articulated with each other, and how it would have moved,” Lamsdell said. “We see lots of insertion points for hairs, which can tell us how it saw its outside environment.”
Most of the specimens were collected from a site in northeastern Iowa known as the Winneshiek Shale. The site is within an ancient meteorite impact crater and was mostly submerged by the Upper Iowa River.
To get to these specimens, scientists built a dam on the river in 2010. The subsequent excavation revealed more than 5,000 fossil specimens from the Ordovician time period, which spanned from about 485 million to 443 million years ago. In addition to the Pentecopterus fossils, scientists found fossils of arthropods, possible jawless fish and eel-like conodonts, as well as algae and plant material.
Huaibao Liu of the Iowa Geological Survey and the University of Iowa, who led the fossil dig, said the site was once a shallow marine environment with a different salinity than the nearby sea. It also had low oxygen levels, making it an inhospitable environment for most creatures at the time.
“The fossils we found were different from normal marine fossils,” Liu said. “In this environment, normal marine animals drowned.”
Liu and Lamsdell hypothesize that Pentecopterus probably came to this sheltered environment specifically to molt.
To accurately describe Pentecopterus, Lamsdell peeled these ancient exoskeletons off pieces of rock.
“We were very lucky that the rock will turn back to mud when you get it wet, so we were able to remove the fossil with a paintbrush and water,” Lamsdell said.
“The hardest part was keeping the exoskeletons intact,” he said. “They are paper thin, but thankfully the only damage was to my nerves, rather than the specimens.”

Now, smartphones to act as secure and versatile keys
Now, smartphones to act as secure and versatile keys Washington: Researchers have developed a new software that makes the technology of opening car and home doors using smartphone apps more secure and versatile.
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT in Darmstadt, Germany, will be demonstrating their ShareKey software, a solution to popularise the method.
"The solution is built around modern security technologies and can be easily integrated into existing access control systems," Dmitrienko said in a statement.
ShareKey sends electronic keys directly to the user's mobile phone, in the form of a QR code attached to an e-mail or MMS.
"To open a door, all you need to do is hold your mobile phone close to the lock," said Dmitrienko.
Scientists at the SIT have equipped ShareKey with particularly resource-efficient communication protocols.
Electronic keys are reliably protected on the smartphone from malware and unauthorised access. This is achieved by leveraging advanced technologies which keep sensitive data on the smartphone separate from other data and apps.
"And even if this communication is hacked into, it's impossible for unauthorised people to gain access to the digital key," he said. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '154', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.929977536201477}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '5064', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:AOZSRIGKDNQDSDS6XFNPRLT2WHZJIG7J', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:4dbdc6a0-264d-4b78-b241-c8b532740510>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 20, 15, 6, 33), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.0.160.11', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WU7MLV3WALKXAAR2EA7TZT2VPSRQ72KI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:eb3d789c-9a2b-4e06-ac31-9ca59777a7f9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://zeenews.india.com/business/print.aspx?nid=67498', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f16c6a77-1f11-44df-9efa-4d01d3489c1f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '355', 'url': 'http://zeenews.india.com/business/print.aspx?nid=67498', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-52\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for December 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.044750750064849854', 'original_id': '595a526f380a7b9f01e51ea44a693a97948ab7fa3da06d226096edbf47eff331'} |

2001: A Space Odyssey | Part 3, Chapters 19–20 : Between Planets | Summary
Chapter 19: Transit of Jupiter
Bowman uses the ship's instruments to observe Jupiter, though it is still far away. Discovery sends data about Jupiter and its moons back to Earth as the ship passes near the planet. Soon, the ship loses direct sunlight as well as radio communications as it travels to the far side of Jupiter. Then, Discovery emerges into both sunlight and radio communication with Earth. As a result of coming so close to Jupiter, the ship had gained speed by bouncing off Jupiter's gravitational field.
Chapter 20: The World of the Gods
A probe is deployed into Jupiter's atmosphere and sends back stunning images of the colorful layers of gases as they fall toward the planet. But Discovery will do no further exploration of this fantastical world—its goal is still half a billion miles further.
The approach and passage near to Jupiter demonstrates Clarke's tendency to present readers with detailed descriptions that slow down the action. But again, reading the novel as a textual companion to the movie, the description seems a reasonable in light of the film's sweeping imagery. In addition, it is important to note that while the novel's destination is Saturn, in the film, Jupiter is the goal. According to the author's Foreword, this decision was made because Kubrick and his team could not make the rings of Saturn look believable. So the understanding that reaching Jupiter is of great consequence is perhaps more appropriate for the movie than for the novel.
Regardless, the grandness and beauty of Jupiter do support the theme of the vastness of the universe, and Discovery's commitment to gathering information from it despite the fact that the real goal is Saturn is evidence of the theme of human curiosity. And, in an episode that foreshadows later events, the ship is briefly out of radio contact with Earth. The vague anxiety felt by the characters as the radio contact is interrupted heightens suspense and reminds the reader that these small humans are bravely taking on a very risky task.

* * As expected, Klopp has made significant changes for tonight's game (9 in total), including the relegation of 'brilliant' striker Daniel Sturridge to the bench.
* Sturridge has 5 goals/assists in his last six starts, and at the weekend, he scored one goal, and created another against Bournemouth. Despite this, he is dumped on the bench for another of the club's biggest games of the season.
* Joe Allen is also back on the bench, which makes little sense given his excellent performance against Bournemouth. Klopp clearly doesn't rate Allen enough to make him a mainstay in the team, and judging by the team selection, he'd rather have Milner in midfielder.
* Klopp-favourite Adam Lallana hasn't scored for nine games, or provided an assist in the last five, but also returns to the starting lineup. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '69c15373a6faead2b1d35e7373cca6f5080de0eb97625cdfb22f346078f26a9d'} |
Concatenating multiple feature extraction methods
In many real-world examples, there are many ways to extract features from a dataset. Often it is beneficial to combine several methods to obtain good performance. This example shows how to use FeatureUnion to combine features obtained by PCA and univariate selection.
Combining features using this transformer has the benefit that it allows cross validation and grid searches over the whole process.
The combination used in this example is not particularly helpful on this dataset and is only used to illustrate the usage of FeatureUnion.

But I still want more!
How do I turn my boyfriend on again after we already had sex one time? I am a pretty good looking young girl and I like to have sex more than once a day if its on the weekend, and not planned sex either. Like if I feel like my boyfriend looks really good I want to show that. But after we have sex it only lasts for like 5-6 minutes and then he's done, and I am just getting started. But he says he's tired and can't possibly do it again and it's like a big deal for him. He's only 21, so I'm just wondering maybe he has a problem? He eats A LOT OF CRAP like sweets and stuff: maybe that has something to do with it. I tried to get him to see a doctor but I think that only pissed him off. A healthy sex life is EXTREMELY important to me. What do I do?
Heather Corinna replies:
If a healthy sex life is very important to you, I'd suggest you start by being sure you're approaching sex with a partner in a way that is realistic.
One essential aspect of healthy sexuality for ourselves and our partners is having our ideas about sexuality based in reality, and being sure our expectations are sound. If we expect ourselves or our partners to be superhuman, or for their bodies to do things they just can't or won't, then sex stops being about us and them altogether. Sexuality and sexual behavior is highly unique and varies a lot between people, so it's so important that whatever sex life we have with others is one which honors and celebrates our uniqueness, rather than which tries to force conformity to someone else's standards or to fantasy.
A man lasting around five minutes or so with intercourse doesn't suggest anything at all is wrong with him. In fact, on average according to Albert Kinsey's studies and other broad studies on male sexuality, on average most men will reach orgasm and ejaculate within around just two minutes of entering the vagina: your partner is lasting for longer than average. You can be as hot as you want to be, but what you look like can't change human physiology: for the most part, most men who engage in vaginal intercourse, most of the time, will reach orgasm within a few minutes and before their female partners will. That's simply a common reality you need to accept when you choose to have male sexual partners, the same way men who choose female sexual partners need to accept the equally common reality that most women will take a bit longer than they do to reach orgasm, and most women will not reach orgasm through vaginal intercourse alone.
Understand, too, that men have something which is called a "refractory period," something different in their sexual response cycle than most women experience. Some women (or some women sometimes), after having an orgasm, can go right into more sex and have their genitals respond in the same way they did mere moments before. Men, however, when it comes to penises and erections, usually need some time in between acts of sex which require an erection. That time period varies, both from man to man and day to day, but for some, it can be mere minutes, while for others, it can be hours. And even for men who don't need a long time-out in between, men won't always want more sex for themselves after intercourse, or find that more intercourse feels good even if they are capable of having it physically.
I can see why you trying to send him to the doctor troubled him: I don't see anything here to suggest there is something wrong with his body or health. The issue you are having is about what you want and need, not about a concern for his health. Now, maybe you just were not very filled in on what's realistic with sex, so you made that error. So it goes: misunderstandings happen. But now that you do know better, I'd suggest you do a little mea culpa and let him know that you made a mistake and didn't mean to pressure, insult him or hurt his feelings. I'd also make clear that from here on out, you intend to approach this differently.
You say you want to demonstrate to your boyfriend that you find him attractive through sex. That's obviously totally fine, but that sentiment seems to be a bit bungled with the other things you're saying. In other words, if he doesn't want sex as often as you do, or is physically incapable of doing what you want, pressuring him isn't going to make him feel good about himself, and even if it makes him feel more attractive, that's not likely to make him feel better about being sexually pressured or nagged. I hear you saying that you want more sexual activity here. You get to want more sex, but take ownership of that: that's not about him, it's about you or about your sex life together. If you want to further demonstrate that you think he's attractive when he's not interested in more sex, you can express that with words or other ways of communicating just as well as you can with sex.
However, you can absolutely voice it at any given time when he feels finished, but you don't. Someone invested in being a good partner to you should be as invested in your pleasure as their own, so if this is a matter of the sex you're having not taking your pleasure into as much account as his, by all means, that's something that's not only fair to want to remedy, but something which should be remedied if you two want a sexual relationship based in equality.
You simply give him a few minutes to chill (many of us will need that after an orgasm), then ask if you can continue with sex so that you, too, can get to a point where you feel satisfied. Mind, that does not have to mean intercourse: if his penis isn't up for more, and/or he, as a person, doesn't want more, that does not have to be a big deal. He's got hands, fingers, a mouth, as do you, and you two also have the options of aids like vibrators, as well. You two, if he's not up for more intercourse, can engage in manual sex, oral sex, mutual masturbation, frottage, or any number of other sexual activities.
It might be worthwhile, when you have sex together, to put intercourse off for a while longer than you have been, taking plenty of time with other sexual activities before you even get to intercourse: you can also have sex together without any intercourse at all. You two might also find that if he tends to be really wiped after an orgasm to the point that he has a tough time engaging in ANY kind of sex afterwards (and that's not that atypical: even for people in great health, a whopper of an orgasm can leave you feeling pretty wiped out and brain dead), that it might be better to work the various types of sex you have in a way so that you reach orgasm first, then he can have a go. Plenty of couples take turns that way. Some couples -- sometimes, or as a habit -- even take turns in terms of whole sessions: in other words, one time you two have sex it's primarily about one of you getting off, and then the next time, it's about the other. In other words, there are a lot of different ways to work this out, you just have to talk about this openly and honestly -- and without suggesting either of you is somehow deficient -- and then try a few different approaches to discover what works best for the two of you.
And if you have the idea that there are all these heterosexual couples out and about in the world who are having whiz-bang amazing sex lives just through vaginal intercourse alone, please understand that that is not the sexual reality most couples express. Over all, couples having satisfying sex lives tend to keep the sexual activities they do pretty mixed up, rather than only doing one or two things.
Lastly, be sure you are also leaving room for the fact that everyone's libidos vary: not everyone wants to have sex more than once in a session or more than once a day: some people don't want sex more than once a week or even once a month or two.
Often, in sexual partnerships, you're not going to wind up with a situation where both partners always miraculously want exactly as much sex as the other, or always want to have sex at exactly the same times. Rather, we will usually have some level of difference and just need to find a happy medium. To assure that no one is having sex when they do not want to -- talk about an unhealthy sex life! -- it's best to default to the person who wants sex less often. For example, if in a given couple, Sue really wants sex three times a week, but Joe only wants it once, you're going to want to defer to Joe's preferences. If Sue feels like she just wants more than that, she's got her own two hands or her sex toys, and if what she really wants more of is just general physical affection, Joe is likely to be down with more hugs and snuggles and kisses if he's not so keen on having more genital sex. Again, there are a world of ways of demonstrating our feelings for an about someone else: sex is just one of them, and no one way is better than another.
I'm sure that with a little more information, an adjusted perspective and some compassionate conversation, you two will be able to work this out and find some patterns that work out just right for both of you.
Here are some additional links for you to consider with all of this:

TABLE vs DIV(ision) – How (not) to use TABLE tag
I have seen many “great” developers/designers talking about TABLE vs DIV(ision) tags. Most of them who consider themselves knowledgeable, aggressively believe that TABLE MUST NEVER be used. They even use DIV tag for tabular content/data! I think they are lacking proper knowledge of CSS and HTML. Let’s see how.
A brief history first: TABLE vs DIV battle was started when designing and CSS was in very early stage. Many developers/designers were using TABLE for designing structure/layout of HTML page. In a table, there were mainly 3 rows. In the first row, header (logo and main navigation menu) part was written. In the second row, there were content part with optionally (primary (if not included in header)/secondary) navigation menu. And in the last row, there was footer (links to terms-of-use, privacy-policy, contact-details, copyright-notice, etc.) part. Now this whole structure/layout was done using TABLE tag which was obviously inappropriate.
However, now things have changed a lot. New CSS options are available since CSS v2.1 using which we can create TABLE like interface using DIV, and DIV like interface using TABLE. Although, still I am strongly against of using TABLE for designing page’s outer structure/layout.
Let’s see how to -and- how NOT to use table. (There should be FORM tags in the below examples, but I have ommited them for simplicity.)
How NOT to use table (very old style):
In the above example, outer TABLE tag is used to structure different parts of an HTML page. This must be avoided. Use DIV or new HTML5 tags, as mentioned in the below example to achieve the same.
How to use TABLE:
Another way – how NOT to use TABLE:
In the above example, to make the table compact, the form inputs are divided into 2 columns. However, it is good to make content compact and divide into multiple columns, but the way used here is not proper. Taking table into another table should be avoided for structuring layout.
Here is the proper way to make it look the same:
This is era of mobile browsing. Many are avoiding table because table messes the design when viewed in mobile. This happens because the TDs/THs of TRs tries to stay in their rows which results in condensed content. To avoid this developers/designers are using DIVs for even tabular content. The above example can be displayed linearly in mobile browsers if just proper CSS is applied (yes, just CSS, without changing anything in the above HTML code), and this is not hard:
By default TABLE, TR, TD, TH, THEAD, TBODY, TFOOT and other table related tags have their own special “display” types. The DIV tag has “block” as its display type; similarly TABLE has “table”, TR has “table-row”, TD & TH has “table-cell”, THEAD has “table-header-group”, TBODY has “table-row-group” and TFOOT has “table-footer-group” as their “display” type styles. So, the whole above table can be constructed without using any TABLE tag, or say with using any single/multipel tag(s) and by just applying appropriate CSS. Take the following 2 examples:
Designing table using multiple tags:
The above example is demonstrated using BLOCKQUOTE, P, LABEL and SPAN tags instead of using TABLE, TR, TH and TD respectively. Same way we can construct a table using only DIV tags:
So, I think now it should be clear in your mind that when & where to use TABLE & DIV and when & where to avoid TABLE tag.

[Why is it so difficult to legislate on alcohol in Spain?].
Wine belongs to the Mediterranean culture. Drinking alcohol is part of our social life, and its negative consequences have often been minimised, blame being apportioned rather to the individual, who doesn't know how to drink, than to the agent causing the harm. In recent years, road accidents and binge-drinking among young people have put alcohol on the political agenda. Adolescents and young adults have increased their consumption, and a pattern of binge-drinking has developed based on the open-air 'fiesta' nightlife, where groups of young people drink large bottles in the streets and squares (botellón). Educational campaigns and material have been mounted and produced, but two consecutive draft laws on measures for the prevention of alcohol-related harm have failed to be approved, coming up on both occasions against the same vested interests. This editorial reviews the ambivalence of society towards regulations on alcohol and the current state of the art. The first draft law (2002) was about preventing alcohol problems in the general population; the second (2006) was limited to the question of prevention among minors. Nobody could oppose it, not even the industry. However, an interested bias put the accent on wine--which allegedly should be considered not as alcohol but rather as food, and consequently removed from the law--so that discussion of the draft law became a 'wine war', with predictable consequences. Once again, a draft law on alcohol was shelved sine die and tossed into a corner to gather dust. WithIn this pessimistic scene, though, there are still some positive signs. No economic or political motives should constitute an obstacle to the protection of minors, at the very least. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9cc346b7aa01d721ad910d70857a659d541ad9bda9df6748669ce4f3751890f2'} |
INTRODUCTION
============
Humankind has long recognized epilepsy as a specific disease of the brain and tried to find remedies to treat it. Surgery for the epileptic brain, i.e., the removal of diseased or malformed cortex, began in the early stage of modern neurosurgery. Sir Victor Horsley, a brilliant pioneer of neurosurgery, performed operations on three patients with focal Jacksonian epilepsy in the 1880s \[[@b24-jkns-2019-0078]\]. In the early 20th century, brain mapping was widely studied and applied to epilepsy surgery as intraoperative cortical stimulation and mapping \[[@b4-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) founded by Wilder Penfield became the center of these bold studies and practices. The invention of electroencephalography (EEG) by Hans Berger in 1924 greatly contributed to the understanding of epilepsy and heralded a new era of the objective diagnosis of epilepsy \[[@b32-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Through the decades that followed, EEG frequently combined with video recording of seizure semiology became part of standard presurgical evaluation \[[@b20-jkns-2019-0078]\]. In the latter half of the 20th century, temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) became the main subject of research on epilepsy \[[@b4-jkns-2019-0078]\]. The physiology and function of the amygdala and hippocampus were extensively studied, which culminated in Scoville and Milner's seminal paper on patients who received bilateral temporal lobectomies (including the famous patient, H.M.) \[[@b26-jkns-2019-0078]\]. This study revealed that the hippocampus is mainly involved in the retention of new memories, and subsequent studies literally revolutionized modern neuroscience. The diagnosis of TLE was firmly established, especially with the advent of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The greater efficacy of epilepsy surgery for TLE over medical therapy was clearly demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial published in 2001 \[[@b30-jkns-2019-0078]\]. In the surgical group, 58% of the patients were seizure-free at one year, whereas only 8% of the patients in the medical group were free of seizures. During the late 20th century, high-resolution MRI became the mainstay of diagnosis for epilepsy. The addition of other imaging modalities using nuclear medicine tools and merging various data to define an epileptogenic zone became the routine of many epileptologists. Understanding brain cortical malformation, especially focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), has changed greatly, and surgical resection of lesions transformed into a more precise and safe procedure. The advent and approval of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in the 1990s opened a new avenue toward neuromodulation therapy in epilepsy \[[@b33-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) has been introduced into clinical application since 2013 with promising results \[[@b7-jkns-2019-0078],[@b8-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Currently, the use of RNS is off-label in children with intractable epilepsy \[[@b12-jkns-2019-0078]\].
TIDES OF CHANGE
===============
This is a brief history of epilepsy surgery since the late 19th centuries. In 2019, what we are facing in the field of epilepsy surgery is a rapid and fundamental change in what we once thought usual and standard. In 2017, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) introduced a revised system of classification for seizure types and epilepsies \[[@b5-jkns-2019-0078],[@b23-jkns-2019-0078]\]. The differentiation of seizure types is the basic starting point for patient care and an initial diagnosis. Some seizure types are strongly associated with the diagnosis of specific epilepsy syndromes and treatment options. Many anti-seizure drugs (ASDs) are most efficacious for certain types of seizures. Some surgical procedures are also particularly effective for certain types of seizures, for example, callosotomy for drop attacks. Finally, the world-wide communication and sharing of common nomenclatures for various phenomena related to epilepsy is mandatory. The previous system of classification for seizure types and epilepsies was introduced by the ILAE in the 1980s \[[@b34-jkns-2019-0078],[@b35-jkns-2019-0078]\]. There have been few changes in this scheme for more than 30 years, although many argued the needs for reappraisal \[[@b3-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Scientific progress, new concepts about epilepsy, and even changing social interest in epilepsy urged the reappraisal of the classification scheme. One of the major changes in the 2017 revision is to replace the term 'partial seizure' with 'focal seizure'. Although the meaning (originating from only one hemisphere) is almost the same, 'focal' has a more anatomical connotation than the word 'partial' \[[@b5-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Likewise, the long-used terminology 'complex partial seizure' was substituted with 'focal impaired awareness seizure' for clarity for both medical personnel and laypeople. For the classification of epilepsy, multilevel diagnostic steps from seizure type to epilepsy type and further to epilepsy syndrome have been proposed. Etiological considerations at every step is emphasized and reflect the enormous amount of development in the etiological diagnosis of epilepsy, especially in structural and genetic causes. Changing long-held jargon is a hard task for many clinicians, and changing concepts is harder than just stating them. It is hoped that the revised classifications may enhance the understanding of epilepsy and encourage the anatomic and surgical imaginations of many surgeons.
Paradigms in drug discovery are changing and many novel ASDs have emerged for clinical use. The role of epilepsy surgery may change according to this trend. Since phenobarbital was introduced in 1912, many efforts have been made to develop effective ASDs against epilepsy. In the 1930s, through screening via an electroshock animal model, phenytoin was discovered as an effective ASD. Thereafter, many compounds were validated with screening tools. However, there was a period of stagnation between the early 1960s and mid-1970s, when only two major ASDs (valproate and carbamazepine) were adopted \[[@b21-jkns-2019-0078]\]. In 1975, U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) launched the Anticonvulsant Screening Program (ASP), a systematic screening program for potentially useful compounds. The ASP led to the discovery of many socalled third generation ASDs such as vigabatrin, lamotrigine, topiramate, and levetiracetam \[[@b17-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Behind this success, an important criticism has been made against the ASD development process \[[@b27-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Even novel ASDs are largely ineffective in drug-resistant epilepsy patients who comprise 20--30% of all patients. This means that current screening tools cannot sufficiently rule out less effective candidates or select compounds potentially effective in certain types of seizures. A unique example is levetiracetam. Levetiracetam initially failed to pass the screening tests using acute seizure animal models. However, levetiracetam showed robust suppression of seizure development in chronic epileptic animal models \[[@b11-jkns-2019-0078]\]. In 2015, the ASP was reformulated as the Epilepsy Therapy Screening Program to incorporate drugs with antiepileptic properties \[[@b17-jkns-2019-0078]\]. To date, the process of ASD development has evolved from the use of serendipity to systematic screening. Recently, molecular genetic studies have found many novel targets of epilepsy against which specific drugs can be developed. Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, is used to control epilepsy in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) \[[@b13-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Interestingly, sequencing studies discovered that hemimegalencephaly is caused by somatic mutations of PI3KAKT3-mTOR pathway \[[@b14-jkns-2019-0078]\]. FCD was also found to arise from somatic mutations of the TSC-mTOR pathways, raising the possibility of applying mTOR inhibitors to a wide range of epilepsy patients \[[@b15-jkns-2019-0078],[@b16-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Therefore, for patients with major malformations such as hemimegalencephaly that require extensive and challenging operations, epilepsy surgery may concede to tissue biopsies for sequencing studies and molecular targeted agents can be used for definite treatment.
For nearly a century, the core aim of epilepsy surgery has been the extirpation of diseased/malformed cortex. The identification of the brain areas responsible for seizure generation (epileptogenic zone) using every means and tool became the central tenet of neurology \[[@b22-jkns-2019-0078]\]. However, the concept of the epileptogenic zone was criticized as much as it was pursued. Above all, epileptogenic zone can be identified only after surgical removal, not prior to the operation which is more desirable. Defining the epileptogenic zone with all available resources cannot completely prevent surgical failure. Furthermore, some patients experience seizure recurrence years after surgery with an interval of seizure freedom. This phenomenon is not compatible with the concept of the epileptogenic zone. The common practice of prescribing ASDs to surgical patients for at least a few months after surgery seems to be a compromise between the concept and reality. Recently, accumulating evidence has indicated that focal epilepsy stems from multiple structures that comprise neuronal circuits \[[@b28-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Multiple regions of abnormal circuits can act as independent nodes in a pathological network, underlying surgical failure if only a part of those regions are destroyed. In this view, epilepsy is a network disorder, and focal epilepsy is not focal, as we thought. Even when a highly epileptogenic lesion, such as hypothalamic hamartoma, exists, the neocortical region can be an independent source of seizures \[[@b25-jkns-2019-0078]\]. That many patients with epilepsy have comorbid neuropsychiatric disorders supports the existence of brain network abnormalities in epilepsy \[[@b28-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Epileptic patients have a 43% higher risk of depression than normal population \[[@b6-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is also highly associated with chronic epilepsy, notably TLE \[[@b10-jkns-2019-0078]\]. Much of the evidence for the network hypothesis was obtained from studies using depth electrodes and SEEG. The network hypothesis again in turn strongly supports the use of SEEG for the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy patients. If seizures originate from a widespread network including deep subcortical structures, mapping with SEEG is superior to an invasive study using subdural grids. Pioneered by Jean Talairach and Jean Bancaud in the 1950s, SEEG has gained worldwide popularity \[[@b20-jkns-2019-0078]\]. SEEG is less invasive and safer than subdural grids, which have higher complication profiles \[[@b29-jkns-2019-0078]\]. SEEG is more suited for the evaluation of deep-seated areas, multilobar/bilateral exploration, and the mapping of functional networks \[[@b18-jkns-2019-0078]\]. The SEEG procedure can be automated to frameless robot-assisted positioning of electrodes \[[@b19-jkns-2019-0078]\]. If a malfunctioning network is to blame in epilepsy, it is possible to destroy or isolate epileptogenic nodes in the network to quench a seizure rather than to shatter the entire network. SEEG electrodes installed for diagnosis can be co-opted for therapeutic intervention using radiofrequency thermocoagulation or laser interstitial thermal therapy \[[@b1-jkns-2019-0078],[@b2-jkns-2019-0078]\]. The emerging neuromodulatory therapies for epilepsy such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), VNS, and RNS, owe much of their efficacy to the network-like nature of epilepsy in the generation and propagation of seizures, although much has to be discovered about their exact mechanism \[[@b9-jkns-2019-0078],[@b31-jkns-2019-0078]\].
CONCLUSION
==========
Epilepsy surgery has developed for more than one hundred years. In 2019, we are facing great changes in the paradigms of epilepsy diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgery. The emerging concept of epilepsy as a network disorder is the core of these many changes. What we should remember is that too many patients with intractable epilepsy remain. We need greater consideration of past footprints and discarded pathways to discover novel therapies for this fatiguing disease.

Last Call
As you probably expected, Mitt Romney's "big foreign policy speech" turned into something Romney probably wishes he had a time machine to correct.
Analysts reviewing what the Republican nominee said in what his campaign billed as a major foreign policy address weren’t impressed. The speech, they say, was much like Romney’s previous swings at laying out a foreign policy: couched in broad ideology and big ambitions and lacking the specifics for how he’d bring any of them about.
Shocking! A Romney position speech that lack practical specifics! Gosh, that never happens.
So while Romney was using the speech to capitalize on the momentum he had from his strong debate performance and the Obama administration’s vulnerabilities on the Libya attacks, foreign policy experts say the speech was vague at best, and reflected some confusion of ideas.
The one thing Romney would do differently according to the speech is most likely start a war with Iran (after putting troops in Syria first) and as to how it would work, wouldn't work. But of course, Mitt can't actually say that. If you thought the Romney budget was going to be a disaster before, throw another trillion dollar plus war or three into the mix and see what happens to our debt.
Mitt may have won last week, but this one's already shaping up to be a disaster as usual.
Toddler Buried By Parents, Never Reported Missing
This breaks my heart. If called to check on the welfare of another child, one has a pretty good idea of what happened here. The boy was never reported, which likely means either his death was suspicious or the family was in some other sort of trouble that prevented reaching out to authorities.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — A routine child welfare investigation led to the discovery Saturday of a toddler's corpse, buried in the backyard of a Long Island home.
Steve Martin Gets Political
I'm not often called upon to comment on it, but I loooooooove Steve Martin. Loooooooove. He is a funny, smart and kind-hearted man, and a brilliant musician. And now, I can love him even more.
(Reuters) - Steve Martin has released an off-beat ad endorsing Bob Kerrey's candidacy in Nebraska's U.S. Senate race, in which the actor and comedian demonstrates how to build a wad of paper while cue cards offering praise for Kerrey are displayed on the screen.
Martin, playing the role of "home crafts expert," mangles a blank single sheet of white paper with paper clips, scissors, staples, chewing gum and a hammer, while a hand emerges from off screen offering typed messages in praise of Kerrey.
"He is a principled man whom I have known and respected for many years," reads one.
"But most of all... He is sane. And his ideas are workable," reads another.
Kerrey, a Democrat, represented Nebraska in the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 2001, when he moved to New York City to lead The New School university. He returned to Omaha this year to seek the seat of retiring U.S. Senator Ben Nelson, a Democrat. Kerrey, who faces Republican State Senator Deb Fischer in the November 6 election, has trailed in polls.
Terminally Ill Woman Forced To Suffer
There should be no question that your life is yours and yours alone to do with as you wish. This case terrifies me, because as long as a person is competent to make medical decisions (as she is in this case) the wishes of parents are trumping the medical rights of a 28-year-old woman.
“I want to die.”
Her future is determined. She is not going to overcome this, nor is she going to pull through. She does not want to prolong her pain, and I do not blame her.
When I went through my medical training, we were drilled on the importance of one of the least taught aspects of our medical rights: we can refuse treatment. This is for a host of reasons, from experimentation to personal choices to one-off situations. But the bottom line is we can refuse treatment, and should be able to in order to have freedom over our very lives.
In this case, Lee's parents are being selfish and making their daughter pay the price. As long as they appeal and stall she will be forced to dwindle and suffer for their hollow victory. Nobody wins, and this case plays out over and over, all around the country.
The right to die is one we should allow and protect. The feelings of one person should not be able to override the medical rights of another. We need to learn our place and let freedom of choice empower people to do what they feel is right. It's their own life, after all.
Bonus Mitt Romney Stupidity (Special Edition)
TMZ is getting in the politics game, throwing this nice little zinger at Mitt Romney:
They don't stay neutral, they just don't go out of their way to go after either candidate. At least, until handed pure gold like this. It really does say a lot, and I'm glad Obama answered their questions. Then again, he doesn't have a reason to be ashamed of himself, and Romney does.
Just a little bonus awesomeness from ZVTS, pleas e enjoy the rest of your day!
Man's Best Friend
It's a surprising story but not unheard of for an animal to track his owner. Still, John Dolan is a lucky fellow, and I hope that Zander gets to go home with his friend.
Buzz Off, Creep
Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger has decided that last Wednesday's debate was the impetus he needed to go from "life-long Democrat" to "Romney moderate". If you can stop laughing at that moronic leap of non-logic to read the rest of Bissinger proving he should stick to sports and not politics, it's comedy gold on par with the best of the Village Idiots. Here's a taste:
Come to think of it, Buzz here probably does have a long and glorious future career as rich white dude scolding the rest of us lazy schlubs over at the NY Times or Washington Post, I would imagine. Look, if any part of your "middle-aged crisis conversion to Republican" speech involved your belief that President Obama is acting privileged and entitled, and that Mitt Romney is a regular Joe Moderate, I call bullshit on you ever being a liberal in the first place.
He even uses the odious phrase "skin in the game", which is Villager 101 for "screw you poor people, it's time for you to suffer. You've had it too easy." If your train of thought involves you coming around to "toss a few of those folks into the volcano to please the island gods" you were never, ever a liberal. You're just an asshole.
Buzz's article is so intellectually bankrupt, I swear it's recycled Bobo Angst and Friedman's Mustache, but the entire argument is too sophomoric for even that level of effort. It's Bobo and Friedman's Mustache phoning it in after an all-night bender of NCIS episodes, unsweetened iced tea and boneless teriyaki wings, and by "all-night" I mean 11 PM.
Like I said, he'll fit in fine over there.
We Don't Know What We're Doing, Frankly
CNN profiles the mythical "undecided voters" in America's swing states, and it paints a depressing portrait of people who basically blame Obama for not fixing things without mentioning that little problem with GOP obstruction at every turn. Four of the six voted for him in 2008, and five of the six think the problem is with him. At no point do Republicans get the blame, other than a general distrust of Romney (all six don't trust the GOP candidate.)
The profile of single female voter Laura Palmer is typical:
WHY IS OBAMA SO MEAN! Why can't he just fix Washington, that's why I voted for him! It gives me a headache. Here's a voter who simply doesn't understand that for Democrats and Republicans to get along in Washington, one side wants to, and the other side will simply wreck the country until they get what they want. It's not polarizing, partisan opinion, it's actual fact as stated by my own senator, Mitch McConnell: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president".
Such denial is depressing, and yet these are the voters that both sides will need in order to win. Educating these folks, if you know them, should be a goal of yours. Talk to them if you can.
You need to.

Embark upon a Loire riverboat and let yourself be tempted by Touraine titbits as you drift along, enjoying an aperitif, tasting the local wines and an array of regional specialities…
Relishing a peaceful, timeless moment
Embark upon a unique journey…
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this stretch of the Loire is hard to beat for an aperitif!
As you pass beside a tree, the setting sun pierces through the leaves and the shimmering light is reflected onto the regal river as the toue moves silently upriver, allowing you to observe the Loire close up.
At one end of the boat, I can see a man preparing aperitifs while I can relax, anticipating tasting all those goodies…
Make the most of the exceptional views
And discover Touraine specialities
We’re brought drinks and nibbles as aperitif time arrives!
Time stands still for a few seconds as each person on board savours the calm delights of the moment. What a privilege, enjoying such unique moments in such a matchless setting…
Enjoy these discoveries without moderation!

Q:
Accessing bound context in user controls code behind
Question is much like this question- just didn't pan out for me
So how do I access a Property on a WPF usercontrol bound via Parent's Xaml in, from the Controls Code behind?
PS: Other controls bound to Properties of the TowerBase model passed in are binding. ( I just can't access the model passed in in the code behind ).
UserControl: x and y are null and I can't figure out why
public partial class TowerControl : UserControl
{
public TowerBase model = new TowerBase(); //Trying to set this model
public TowerControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
var x = ((TowerBase)this.DataContext); //Or Extract from binding
var y = model;
}
...
From the parent's xaml:
...
<controls:TowerControl Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="Tower" DataContext="{Binding Tower}" />
...
Parent Model:
...
public TowerBase Tower { get; set; }
...
A:
That is because UserControl's DataContext would not be set by the time it is in constructor. Listen to Loaded event of user control and in handler you will get the DataContext
<UserControl Loaded="UserControl_Loaded">
private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var x = this.DataContext;
}

Absence of 'best in the world' Busquets makes Rakitic key for Barcelona
A toe injury has ruled a World Cup winner out for the La Liga leaders, meaning Ernesto Valverde will turn to a versatile Croatian midfielder for help
Ernesto Valverde believes Barcelona can cope without Sergio Busquets, despite believing the midfielder to be the world's best in his position.
The Spain international hobbled out of the last-16 Champions League win against Chelsea and a toe injury will now keep him out of Sunday's clash with Athletic Bilbao, while Luis Suarez is also missing.
Valverde is hopeful Busquets will return after the subsequent international break, but he is also confident in Ivan Rakitic's ability to occupy a deeper role and counteract the World Cup winner's absence.
"This is the first time [Busquets] is not going to be with us - other than maybe a game he missed due to yellow cards," Valverde told a pre-match news conference.
"We have other players who can help us - Rakitic has played that role very well and we have other players - but I think Sergio is probably the best player in the world in his position. Replacing him is not an easy thing to do.
"[Rakitic] has had an extraordinary season. He is completely reliable. He helps us bring the ball up the field, he gets into the final third.
"He played both in central midfield and attacking midfield with Sevilla. Sergi Roberto has played [in midfield] and at the back. [Nelson] Semedo has played as a winger and at the back.
"Players move around. They do not necessarily play in the same positions they start out playing. Rakitic has moved around. He is a very important player for us."
Barca are coming towards a key time in the season as they continue a treble bid, meaning Valverde has a nervous wait to see if any more stars are injured on international duty.

"Everybody looks out for themselves," the coach said. "With players on the national teams, it's tough. Some players have little knocks - like [Thomas] Vermaelen, we hope it's nothing big.
"The World Cup is coming up, they [the national teams] need their players. I was asked to recommend players for different federations. They want results too.
"The most important thing is that the players use their heads and they keep themselves injury-free so we can win titles." | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9799137115478516}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '117594', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QA5XG2KKGCJKGNJTYHF225WAWZINLXRX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:0affe96d-da52-40d9-b439-15f0bff88ff3>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 19, 17, 55, 41), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.118.184.114', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UPDJEKTSZ2C5FGFBY6J5ZVDINV366NN4', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:ea4f7ad0-cbc6-48cb-9429-b14ef5fedcfc>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://beta.goal.com/en-ph/news/absence-of-best-in-the-world-busquets-makes-rakitic-key-for/1rfl052uh9u3h15pc2q5t838n6', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a6ef6ebe-1811-4a92-bce4-0b51fca13ddc>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '380', 'url': 'https://beta.goal.com/en-ph/news/absence-of-best-in-the-world-busquets-makes-rakitic-key-for/1rfl052uh9u3h15pc2q5t838n6', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-13\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for March 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-140-246-66.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025226950645446777', 'original_id': '63f1bca6dce732841703490cbd355b057d8f5f22647962573e5fa7109c278e81'} |
What is happening to us?
We, as a society, for decades now, pass the time from the dead of winter to late summer longing for football. Any kind of football. Now, in 2017, we are a mere two to three weeks into the "football season" and we are complaining about it!
How miserable are we? Seriously, now football sucks!?!? I've never used that word in a column before because it's pretty far down the intellectual food chain and a columnist really should be able to do better than that. However, it's basically what I'm seeing and hearing. Football sucks! Really? What in the Wide World of Sports is going on here?
All this week, national columns and the talking head TV shows have been "discussing" why the NFL product is bad, ratings are down again and now apparently the national media has realized that college football games take a long time (this just in!)
More: David Moulton: Second chances in sports no easy call
More: No doubt about it, Gators' offense lacks bite
We all know why NFL ratings are down. First, because everything peaks and Peyton Manning's swan song Super Bowl season (2015) looks like the time where the 800-pound gorilla finally stopped gaining weight. Second, the player protests have turned some people off. Third, President Donald Trump. He's just a bit of a television phenomenon. Finally, the weather. Harvey and Irma were the dominant stories in our country the first two weeks of September.
Now, does the NFL have some issues with their product? Yes. Upon first glance in 2017 fewer teams can block than ever before. Considering the game is still all about blocking and tackling, that's a problem. Inability to block means fewer touchdowns, fewer exciting offensive plays, less fantasy points and more field goals. None of which is good for the gorilla.
But it's not permanent! Relax. NFL teams will figure it out. Remember when Elway, Marino, Troy Aikman and Steve Young all retired within two years of each other? That's the last time when the league was broken and outside of Brett Favre, there were no good QB's. What happened next?
Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Mike Vick (Admit it, he was exciting), and the Class of 2004 (Eli, Big Ben and Philip Rivers) all happened. It will happen again. o borrow a page from Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, RELAX! The NFL is not boring and it does not suck.
Now to some, it does not compare to college football. That's a Coke/Pepsi thing. To each their own. However college football has more pretty young people in the crowd, bands and because they stop the clock after every first down. More plays in their games Average NFL team runs 64 plays per game, average college team runs 73. The Saints ran the most plays in the NFL last year- 69 per game. USF this year is averaging 96 plays a game.
Does the college game take too long? I think so. What I would like to see happen first is to start the games on time. A 1 p.m. NFL game kicks off at 1:01. A 3:30 college game kicks off at 3:39. Save those eight minutes immediately and then maybe we'll keep the clock moving down the road. Otherwise, leave Saturday's alone.
You know what does suck about football? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the NFLPA and the NCAA. Most of all, what really sucks? There's no spring league so we actually have to spend quality time seven months a year with our families.
Just kidding, honey...
Football will be fine. Nothing that keeping the clock running on Saturdays and a few quality offensive lineman on Sundays won't fix. he bigger football issue is off the field.
Why are we this miserable?
Because if you are complaining about football, you're miserable. Don't worry though, in the next three-to-five years you'll be able to bet on it legally from coast-to-coast.
Maybe that'll cheer you up.

My belly’s full of blisters, my organs feel squashed, and every time I sneeze my eyes fall out
Never pour boiling hot water on your belly. You have likely never been tempted to do so, but if the thought should ever flit across your mind–ignore it. It is not a wise thing to do. I know from experience.
On Sunday night, I craved spaghetti with mushroom soup on it. I’m not sure why. Just roll with it. I boiled the noodles and went to strain them in the colander when the bottom of my pot hit that thing (not sure what to call it) that divides the two kitchen sinks. At first, I was concerned about losing the noodles to the cesspool that is a kitchen sink (don’t get me wrong. My sink looks nice and shiny, but who knows what killer bacterium lurks there, waiting for its next victim). And that’s when I felt it. A huge surge of searing pain all over the surface of my belly (I’m not even going to discuss how large this surface is. Just bear in mind that I did say the pain was “huge.”) Yes, I am an idiot. And yes, two days later I still have a rather massive red burn on my tummy. And it is not happy at all.
The kitchen can be a very dangerous place–with hot water and all those knives.
Keep in mind that I live in Canada and that wearing a tube top in late October is out of the question. And keep in mind, that I would not be caught dead in a tube top even in the sweltering heat of July. I’ve tried the whole Daisy Duke “take-the-bottom-of-your-shirt-and-tuck-it-through-the-neckline” thing, but the little flap of material that hangs out from my cleavage keeps poking me in the burn. Ugh.
Yup. My belly probably feels like this kids nose. But you’ve got to love the look on the crustacean’s face.
And I’m growing very tired of contorting myself in the shower. Do you know how hard it is to keep one’s trunk dry in the shower? Plus, doesn’t it defeat the purpose of a shower to begin with?
And my Keurig is feeling neglected. I’m afraid to spill a hot drink on my belly. It may sound irrational to you, but you have no idea just how klutzy I am. If you did, you would tell me stick with cold drinks too.
Doc, I have a problem. My eyes hurt and my eye drops aren’t working.
1) Yes, I did try to simmer my tummy, but it was an accident. I can’t imagine torturing my body parts on purpose.
As a woman, I am rather attached to my eyelids. Without them, my makeup would look funny. And where would I put my eyelashes? Not to mention all the dust and bugs that would pelt my cornea in their absence.
It seems that China’s Dong Changsheng is rather less “attached” to his lids. Or at least, he will be if he keeps pulling cars with them. Yes, he pulls cars using his eyelids. Ack. In fact, he holds the Guinness World Record for the “heaviest vehicle pulled by the eyelids” (there have been others?). His accomplishment? Pulling a 3307 lb. car a distance of 33 feet.
I don’t get it. Was he just sitting in his garage one day looking at his stalled car and he got an itchy eyelid and thought I bet if I tow my VW to the mechanic using my eyelids I could kill two birds with one stone? I could get a free tow and stop my eyelid from itching.
“I really wanted to achieve that perfect hourglass shape. I just wish people would stop turning me upside down and placing me on my head. “
2) Okay. I’m jealous. This broad has probably never burned her belly with a pot full of water. First of all, she probably doesn’t eat. And, second of all, I doubt she has the core abdominal strength to lift an empty pot, let alone one filled with liquid.
And where the heck does she keep her internal organs? Her jeans must really bag at the waist.
This is Cathie Jung, the Guinness World Record Holder for the person with the smallest waist. Thanks to spending 23 1/2 hours each day for over 25 years in a corset, she has achieved a 15 inch waistline.
Can I corset my entire body or will my head pop?
3) Let’s face it. Seinfeld‘s George Costanza had a crummy ambulance ride. With a face like a human eggplant, a warring pair of medics, a collision with another vehicle, and a large hospital bill, things couldn’t have gotten much worse. Or could they?
76-year-old, Edward Juchniewicz, was on a routine ambulance trip from his old age home to a doctor’s appointment when the unthinkable happened. The ambulance attendant stopped to talk to a doctor and failed to notice that his patient’s stretcher was rolling away. The contraption wheeled the poor man down an embankment and overturned. He later succumbed to head injuries from the accident.
Am I wrong, but aren’t hospitals supposed to make people better? I didn’t think they were supposed to strap you to a deathtrap on wheels and watch you roll down a hill. This sounds like something that would happen to me. Thankfully, our hospital parking lot is completely flat.
Here is a collection of accomplishments achieved by my fellow spastics. I’m especially fond of the robot costumed kid.
How can my belly be burning hot and cold at the same time? (Insert deep sigh here.)

Since the turn of the millennium, the number of “failing schools” has increased dramatically.
It has more than 30 million unique monthly users - predominantly kids.
Dad Iain Morrison wants the chat facility on the site removed as it allows strangers to message kids directly.
Imagine my shock when in the very first scene, I saw Jade’s character from the Old Maid Adventures, Zonsuela, a 60-something lady, getting it on with a topless (and eventually bottomless) character named “Genevieve”, who was supposed to represent me.
They even added sound effects for my character, such as screaming. They went into graphic details that I will not post for my own dignity. It began with a young male author (who is a minor) and then featured Jade Merical-Welch, and I choked when Jade’s husband appeared onscreen, wearing a uniform.

Fujifilm Starts Shipping Magnetic Tape With 'World's Highest Capacity'
Feb 3, 2011
Tadashi Nezu, Nikkei Electronics
Fujifilm Corp developed a magnetic tape whose storage capacity is 5 Tbytes per cartridge and data transmission speed is 240 Mbytes per second.
It has started shipping the "Tape Cartridge for StorageTek T10000C," which uses the new magnetic tape, to Oracle Corp. Its storage capacity is more than five times higher than that of the "StorageTek T10000B," which is the predecessor of the T10000C, and three times higher than those of the "LTO Ultrium 5" tapes. Fujifilm claims that the T10000C uses a magnetic tape with the world's highest capacity.
The magnetic tape is targeted at enterprise systems using mainframes. And Oracle started selling it Feb 1, 2011.
This time, Fujifilm increased storage capacity by employing a barium ferrite (BaFe) magnetic material as a recording material for the tape. In general, the storage capacity of a magnetic tape is increased by microparticulating a magnetic material to enhance recording density. However, it is difficult to increase the storage capacity of a "metal magnetic material," which is currently the mainstream material (It is difficult to maintain the coercive force of a metal magnetic material when it is microparticulated).
On the other hand, a BaFe magnetic material can maintain a higher coercive force, better frequency characteristics and low noise characteristics even when it is microparticulated, compared with a metal magnetic material, Fujifilm said. The capacity of 5 Tbytes was realized by applying the BaFe magnetic material thinly and lubricously, it said.
In addition to the high storage capacity, Fujifilm claims that the T10000C has a storage stability of 30 years or more. This can be realized because the BaFe magnetic material is an oxide and chemically stable. Therefore, the tape is hardly affected by the environment where it is used, and its magnetic properties do not change much over time.
Moreover, Fujifilm enhanced the durability of the cartridge of the tape, enabling to load/unload the drive 25,000 times or more. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9254161715507508}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '19783', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:W7LQ4KB4PJYSIT6N56I3FWDFHXJCWLJI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b64d6c8b-7c7e-4899-a37f-d9e1c56ac465>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 10, 18, 7, 44, 35), 'WARC-IP-Address': '202.238.142.10', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:NUHTHKGEWMJKBROWE6AGPJF36OMYZFS7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:da42ff8d-6821-4f58-9a87-f7af0b068186>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20110203/189308/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:bd9c0cd6-86cc-4622-8952-23984aa69ed3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '326', 'url': 'http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20110203/189308/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-165-76-76.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-43\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.09029072523117065', 'original_id': '1e0fa45ff9ed2e4143167e7054a2896edf4ca0e2a1df8962c1c327cb0964e006'} |
When I woke up around 6.00 am the first thing I did was to switch the computer on and let Aperture continue building its previews. After building the remaining thumbnails for the 11k photos it went on to 'process' previews and the sluggishness of it put the thumbnail previews to shame. It took over 5 hours to build all previews. It was somewhat faster after that but not merely enough.

Printing support is decent but not as good as Adobe Lightroom. Of course it is much better than iPhoto which is pretty much useless. The options are just not there to do enough margins. Presets are fine but they don't store printer settings which makes them sort of useless because you also have to select the printer settings again and again.
Biggst drawback of all is the adjustments area. You don't get to store an adjustment preset that spans across adjustment settings. So if you always sharpen and much with vibrance you need to adjust the image twice. Sort of lame. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9791751503944396}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '70862', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FPRN4XREXBL53K766VPQKSNR3WUMPGF6', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a3cfd884-031c-431a-8af8-2671144a7811>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 11, 11, 20, 11, 55), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.49.23.145', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:S5DFJEL4YHKWOR5I2STEP3SRUHJBSNHN', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:30537869-274c-4281-8692-2f190964d5c5>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.anuragyagnik.com/blog/yagniks.com/2006/11/when-i-woke-up-around-6.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:cb434b3b-f3e0-4bb5-a3ae-e2f749c86b63>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '172', 'url': 'https://www.anuragyagnik.com/blog/yagniks.com/2006/11/when-i-woke-up-around-6.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-211.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.3260049819946289', 'original_id': '99e273b468553d0045dbaa5aad765b751aa5986dde2d8225481ffca48178a2bb'} |
Trump's trade war is getting serious — here's why it started, what it means for the US economy, and how it could hit you
trump tariffs china eu canada 2x1 trump tariffs china eu canada 2x1
• President Donald Trump has been on a nearly six-month long tariff spree, kicking off trade wars with several countries.
• Trump has placed tariffs on everything from steel to chicken incubators.
• Trading partners including China, Canada, the European Union, and Mexico have hit the US with retaliatory tariffs.
• Here's a breakdown of how we got here and what the tariffs mean for the economy.
President Donald Trump declared on March 2 via Twitter: "When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win."
The tweet marked the announcement that the US would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports coming into the country — and the start of a growing trade war.
Since that point, Trump has opened up trade battles on a series of fronts, and the US and other countries around the world have slapped tariffs on $85 billion worth of goods.
Trump has long been a fan of tough action on trade. In the 1980s, the then-real estate mogul railed against the US's trade deficit and warned of "other countries ripping off the United States." In a 1990 Playboy interview, Trump was asked about his first action if he ever became president.
"Many things. A toughness of attitude would prevail," Trump said. "I'd throw a tax on every Mercedes-Benz rolling into this country and on all Japanese products, and we'd have wonderful allies again."
Given the president's decades-long history of protectionist statements and direct signals on the campaign trail, the recent spate of trade restrictions should come as no surprise.
So far, Trump has used tariffs as the main weapon in his trade war. A tariff is a tax on a good coming into the US, also known as a duty. These duties are collected by Customs and Border Protection at the good's port of entry. Once tariffs go into place, importers face the extra fee immediately.
Trump placed tariffs on a wide variety of goods and the moves are starting to make an impact on the US economy, prices, and more. Here's a breakdown of how Trump's trade fight is starting to take its toll.
The number of tariffs Trump has enacted or threatened is piling up.
trumps trade war tariffs enacted or threatened
Shayanne Gal/Business Insider
Trump's hard line on trade kicked off in February, when the administration officially placed tariffs on imports of washing machines and solar energy equipment.
But the protectionist push began in earnest at the start of March, when Trump announced a 25% tariff on imported steel and 10% tariff on imported aluminum. This move triggered widespread pushback from allies, since the tariffs were implemented on national security grounds.
Allies like Canada, the European Union, and Mexico argue that they pose no national security risk to the US and thus should not be slapped with tariffs. Those three countries, along with China and others, have filed a suit against the US with the World Trade Organization arguing the tariffs are illegal.
So far, the enacted tariffs haven't hit a large percentage of goods with major trading partners, but that could change in a hurry.
total trade between US and allies
Jenny Cheng/Business Insider
China is the biggest target for Trump so far, with 11.7% of the total goods going between the two countries subject to tariffs.
Trump has also threatened to hit another $400 billion worth of Chinese goods with tariffs due to their retaliation. China accused the president of starting the "largest trade war in economic history." While that claim may be a slight exaggeration now, it may come true in time.
The fight with Canada is the second-largest front in the trade battle, with 4.5% of total trade with the US subject to tariffs. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the tariffs "insulting."
Just 1.5% of the total trade between the US and EU is subject to tariffs, and 1.1% of trade between the US and Mexico.
For the EU, Canada, and Mexico, the amount of trade subject to tariffs would increase dramatically if Trump follows through on his threat to place tariffs on imports of cars and auto parts.
The goods subject to tariffs are wide-ranging — from bulldozers to chicken incubators to hairspray.
Goods affected by tariffs
Jenny Cheng/Business Insider
Trump's tariffs have so far focused on industrial goods like metals, machinery, and components.
In particular, Trump has tried to attack industries that are part of China's Made in China 2025 plan, which is designed to help boost Chinese companies in a variety of high-growth industries like technology.
By comparison, the retaliatory tariffs from China, the EU, and others predominately go after US agricultural goods, as well as a jumble of consumer products like nail polish and kitchen equipment.
The pain each state feels from the tariffs will vary, but the pattern shows that many countries are trying to make a political point.

Shayanne Gal/Business Insider
The selection of agricultural products by opposing countries doesn't appear to be random.
According to most analyses, much of the pain from the tariffs will hit areas where Trump won in the 2016 presidential election. Analysts say this is designed to increase political pressure on Trump, especially as the 2018 midterms approach.
So far most polls show that Americans are opposed to the tariffs, and Republicans in Congress have attacked the decision by the president since day one.
Prices for goods hit by Trump's tariffs are already starting to rise.

Shayanne Gal/Business Insider
The most immediate effects of the tariffs has come on prices of goods hit by tariffs.
Homebuilders are reporting higher prices for metal goods. And the cost of consumer washing machines, which were hit with a tariff in February, have similarly soared.
Even companies that use American-made metals are getting pressured. Middleby Residential, a California-based company that makes Lynx grills, told the Dallas Morning News that even though the company uses US steel, the recent price pressures have driven up costs by almost $350 per grill.
So far, Trump has avoided hitting consumer goods like clothes, but what he did target could be just as problematic.
us imports from china subject section 301 tariffs chart
Shayanne Gal/Business Insider
According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Trump's tariffs have focused primarily on intermediate goods, or parts.
That causes major issues for US businesses that use parts from overseas to create a finished product, prompting increased costs for American manufacturers and pressure to cut in other areas, raise prices, or both. The possible result: price increases for consumers or layoffs at these firms.
For instance, Moog Music — the manufacturer of the legendary Moog synthesizer — warned that some suppliers of circuits use parts from China and raised prices in response to the tariffs. That trickled down to Moog, prompting the company to tell customers that they would either have to raise prices, lay off workers, or move production out of the US.
The backlash from other countries is already starting to hit American businesses, too.
Price of US soybeans, 2018
Jenny Cheng/Business Insider
Soybeans are the US's largest agricultural export to China, with more than $14 billion going across the Pacific in 2016. Since China hit soybeans with a retaliatory tariff, US prices have cratered, putting the squeeze on American farmers.
Other companies facing retaliatory tariffs are also struggling with their effects. Most notably, iconic American motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson cited the European Union's tariffs on US motorcycles as a key factor in their decision to move a significant amount of production outside of the US.
In the end, most economists expect the tariffs to cost American jobs and produce a drag on the US economy.
US jobs impacted by steel and aluminum tariffs and retaliation
Jenny Cheng/Business Insider
While the tariffs may provide a boost to concentrated industries like steel production, the losses will far outstrip the gains, economists say.
For instance, the Trade Partnership — an industry group that analyzes free trade — found that the steel and aluminum tariffs would result in approximately 400,000 lost US jobs. Layoffs from the cost increase at manufacturers that use the metals could be far larger than the roughly 30,000 jobs in steel and aluminum production that could be gained.
These cost cuts, price increases, and layoffs will add up, economists say. The ultimate result: A slowdown US GDP growth, and pain for the economy.

Le nom de cet ouvrier mérite d'être îaiflcà la poicerhé, puisqu'il a donne lieu par Ion ad u (Te à une fable que des voyageurs ont débitée avec une fi grande aflurance , qu'il ferait facile de s'y laifler trom per fi l'on n'a voit été defabuft d'ailleurs. Voici le fait. CeTumcifltr étoit un fameux ou vner.bon chy mifle,qui ayant trempé en prclencc du grand duc de Tofcane, TUR dass une certaine huile la moitié d'un clou qui parc if. foit tout de fer , la partie qui fut trempée dans cette nui. le fe trouva être de bon or , auffi tôt qu'on l'en eut retirée. Plulicurs perfonnes, après avoir bien confideré ce clou , voyant 1 or fit le fer parfaitement bien liés en femble, crurent que cette metamorphofe n'avoitpfl fe faire que par un véritable changement de l'un de ces deux métaux en l'autre, parce qu'ils étoient perfuadés qu'il étoit impoflïblc de les iouder enkmblc. Mais il n'y arien défi facile, fi l'on prépare le fer auparavant d'une certaine ma nière qu'enfcigncOcton Tacnenius , dans fon H:pfuretct tbjmcus, imprime à Vernie, & duquel nous tirons cet ar ticle. U prétend que c'étoit là tout le fecret deTumcuTer, fit que le reife n'étoitquc filouterie ; parce que quand il eut foudé par ce moyen un morceau d'or avee une moi. tic de clou , il ftjut fi bien donner à l'or la couleur du fer, qu'on croyoit que tout le clou en fût; fit ayant enfuite mis ce clou dans le feu, fit l'ayant trempé dans de l'huile pour ôter cette couleur , il ht paraître l'or qui étoit au paravant caché.

Voici l'ordre qu'il éta blit dans cette nu if an. Sa communauté , qu'il eut 1a con solation de voir très-nombreufe , fut divifée en trois âges. Le premier ordre comprenoit les jeunes jufqu'à la 24. année de profeffion, 8c ceux-ci porroient tout le tra vail ducheeur , du réfectoire 0c des autres offices, s'ap pliquant en tout à gagner les bonnes grâces des fuperieurst s'il s'en trou voit quelqu'un de rebelle ou de contentieux, il éioit f.paré fie fevereroent puni. Dans le II. ordre é toient compris ceux depuis 14. jufqu'à 40. ans de pro feflion, fit ils étoient difpeofés de la plupart des offices , fie appliques principalement aux affaires St au gouverne ment de la mai Ton. Le III. ordre étoit des anciens de puis 40. jusqu'à jo.de profeffion : ils étoient déchargés des fonctions du chœur , excepté les méfies , fit difpcn fés d'aller au cloître ou au refcâoire, fit de toutes les obédiences extérieures ; comme de prôvifeur , de pro cureur fie de celerier. S'il y en avoit au-deli de 50. ans de profcfEon, on leur donnoit a chacun une chambre dans l'infirmerie avec un garçon pour les fervir, fit un jeune frerc qui mangeoitavec le pere.tant pour fon inftruction, que pour la coafolation du vieillard qui al bit au chœur , au réfectoire , fit par toute la maifon quand & comme il lui plaifoit : on ne lui parloit d'aucune affaire fâcheufe , 3c on lui laifloit attendre en paix la fin de fa vie. Avec ces figes regtemms de l'abbé Turquetul , les cinq religieux qu'il avoit trouve fculs danscemonafterc, vécurent juf qu'à plus décent ans, fie l'un d'eux nommé Clcrambauc bouffa jufqu'à 148. * Ingulfe , bifi.dtl'ébbàjt dtCntiand.

La férocité qu'ils font paroître pour les Chrétiens , vient ou d'habitude ou d affectation , pour montrer qu'ils en font peu d'eftime.

The Google Merchant Center in recent years has seen a huge facelift, from additional interface enhancements to the the long-awaited Promotions integration. Now Google is once again adding to the capabilities of Merchant Center.
Google quietly announced a big change to Merchant Center. Trusted Stores program is going to be migrated into the Google Merchant Center. Previously, advertisers would have to sign up and have a separate location to manage their Trusted Stores Merchant Account.
Now, Google is rolling this program into the Merchant Center for consolidated management.
Another key feature is that Google is moving focus from Trusted Stores (essentially shutting it down) and focusing on a new program called Customer Reviews. This will be managed in the Merchant Center. Per Google, it will allow advertisers to have better insight into their seller ratings, more time saving account management tools and give additional ways to opt in and customize the Google badge.
You may be wondering when this will be taking place. Unfortunately, Google hasn’t given a timeline for this to be rolled out. However, Google Merchant Center and Google Trusted Store Admins will be emailed once the migration is completed on their accounts. So, keep your eyes peeled for the update.
After this integration who know what will be next. Maybe the Google Manufacturer Center will be integrated or a more robust Assortment Report. What is for certain is that Google is focusing on the Merchant Center platform, the advertiser experience and the customer experience. This change for Trusted Stores to Customer Reviews is a welcomed one.

Monitor specific email account
I need to monitor a specific email account which is created to send bulk emails to different recipients; But sometime this account is sending emails to some specific users continuously ( 15 min frequency for multiple days) I need to monitor that account, if it sends more than one email to one user, in that case, it will generate an alert.
- is there any template(built-in or user-created) to monitor recipients list?
Thanks in advance..

There are no out of the box templates for that use case. You would probably need to create a custom script to check that and then
use the scripting component monitors to return a value that SAM could alert on.

Seeking Good Advice About Plumbing? Check Out These Helpful Solutions!
Sometimes, it will take a good amount of advice to arrive at the correct solution, and the tips in this article provide a solid resource to learn from.
Noisy pipes that make squeaking or hammering sounds are actually a lot easier to fix than you would imagine. You will need to anchor all exposed pipes.
Knowing your tools and the proper way to use them can help greatly in your plumbing experience.Before undertaking repairs on your own, plan ahead, a mistake could make repairs even more costly.
Garbage Disposal
Check to make sure that overflow holes are clear of debris and mineral build-up. Clear the overflow holes periodically when you are doing your periodic checks for problems and plumbing issues that need to be repaired.
Do not attempt to remove grout out of a line by yourself. You can break the blockage which will open up the line. This works better if your home has pipes made of plastic.
Drain Cleaners
Try not to use drain cleaners as often as you can. Drain cleaners contain caustic and damaging chemicals which can destroy your pipes if used too frequently. If your drain is clogged, it is better to hire a professional to see what is causing it.
If you have a need for a plumber, check out his or her credentials first. A plumber with bad credentials might not skilled in a particular task could actually aggravate the problem.Check reviews, and ask friends and family for the name of a plumber that they use and trust.
Check your faucets outside for dripping or leaking before the first winter freeze. If water is continually dripping, you will need to make the necessary repairs before the freezing temperatures arrive. Whatever material your pipes are built from, freezing water causes pressure that can make them crack.Even a small crack will let enough water to flood your home.
Plumbing requires more skill then just routing water from point A to point B.A common job for a plumber is repairing water lines.
Many people will let plumbers shake them down for high fees, so they willingly spend large amounts of money to have a plumber make repairs. If you own your home, you should do what you can to educate yourself about plumbing so that you are not taking a plumber’s work and word on faith. This also helps you are not get ripped off.
Drain Cleaners
Choose drain cleaners you use with care. Some drain cleaners have strong chemicals that will probably damage your pipes. Choose a drain cleaner that claims to be easy on pipes.
A water heater may be a good choice for those that are conservation-minded. Tankless water heaters heat water constantly hot.This can save a lot of money on energy by not heating water that is not being used currently.

Project Description
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is one of the easiest, least expensive cosmetic dentistry procedures in the dentist’s arsenal. Your dentist can shape and polish the composite resin used in bonding to seamlessly match your adjacent teeth. Most often, a dentist uses bonding for cosmetic purposes to improve the look of a discolored or damaged tooth. Bonding can also be used to close gaps between teeth, make teeth appear longer or change their overall shape and color.
Sometimes we use bonding as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings or to protect the exposed portion of a tooth’s root, such as when gums recede. No preparation is required for bonding, and anesthesia is typically unnecessary unless we use bonding resin to fill a decayed tooth where there might be some discomfort involved for the patient.
Your dentist uses a dental shade guide to choose the composite resin color that matches your tooth color most closely. Once your dentist has chosen the color, he or she will slightly abrade, or etch, the surface of the tooth to roughen it. The tooth will be coated lightly with a conditioning liquid, which helps the bonding material adhere. After the tooth is cleaned and prepped, your dentist will apply the tooth-colored, putty-like resin. He or she sculpts the resin until it reaches the proper shape, then hardens the material with an ultraviolet light or laser light.
Once the bonding material hardens, your dentist will trim and shape it, then polish it until it matches the luster and sheen of the remaining tooth surface. It usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete a cosmetic bonding procedure. If you need more than one tooth bonded, you may need to schedule several visits.
Coffee, tea, cola drinks, medications, and cigarette or cigar smoke can stain the bonding resin. To prevent or minimize stains, you should avoid eating foods or drinking liquids that can stain teeth for the first 48 hours after your bonding procedure. You should also brush your teeth often and have a dental hygienist clean them regularly after you have had cosmetic bonding.
We welcome patients from Santa Monica and close-by locations.

Ardenland holds its annual BankPlus International Gumbo Festival on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Smith Park. This year, proceeds benefit the Harold T. and Hal White Memorial Scholarship. At the event, attendees may sample various gumbo dishes and vote for their favorite recipes. Gates open at 11 a.m., and then a series of live music acts begin performing at 11:30 a.m. The Jackson Free Press published a short roundup of these four artists on Oct. 30, but below are some expanded features on the bands.
The Vernon Brothers (11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m.)
When the members of the musical "family" formed their band in 1980, they initially did not know what genres they would gravitate toward. Eventually, though, they shifted into traditional bluegrass. The Vernon Brothers perform covers of traditional bluegrass songs, along with a few originals mixed into the set list that also fit within the genre of those classics.
The group's hook is that they are a pretend family who herald from the fictional town of Vernons Gap, Miss., although they are from the Jackson metro. As such, each member has a stage name that ends in "Vernon." Hal Jeanes, or Freeman Vernon, plays the mandolin; Connie Jeans, or Connie Bob Vernon, plays upright bass, guitar and fiddle; Jerry Brooks, or RCA Victor "Vic" Vernon, plays banjo and guitar; and Johnny Rawls, or Smokey Vernon, plays guitar and upright bass as well.
"I took the names of the members and crisscrossed the common letters and came up with the name Vernon, and everybody felt they had a piece of it that way," Hal Jeanes says. "It's been easy for people to remember, and it's been good to us all these years."
The band has amassed a number of prominent performances in its career. The Vernon Brothers have played for a Peking opera show, the Hardrock Cafe and for U.S. President George W. Bush.
Additionally, the musicians have performed regular gigs spanning several years, playing for the St. Philip's Annual Goat Roast since its inception 38 years ago and for the Neshoba County Fair for nearly the last three decades.
"We've had such a good time doing this. We all love our music--very serious about it--and it's been good for us," Hal Jeanes says. "People still want to come out and hear us, and that's always a very flattering thing. Music is a lot of times a young man's game, but we've had a steady following for many, many years."
Videos of The Vernon Brothers can be found on YouTube.

Hood Baby and the Barnacles (12:45-1:30 p.m.)
Hailing from Starkville, Miss., the '70s-inspired funk band is comprised of Garrett "G-Funk" Caver on bass; Ronnie Bullock on vocals, keyboard and saxophone; Wes Toner on guitar and backing vocals; and Vaughan "V-Boog" Brenner on drums.
Caver and Bullock formed the band in college during 2016. They used a random name generator to come up with Hood Baby and the Barnacles and ran with it. Toner joined in 2017 and Brenner in 2018. The group's music borrows from astral funk and mysticism and includes a number of originals as well as some covers.
"Man, there's something so incredible about the organicness of funk from the 1970s. It's so real, and it was real people talking about real things. And it's so freaking groovy," Caver says, emphatically. "Like, when you listen to a funk song, there's no way that you can't shake your ass to it. It gets people happy. It's happy music, but it has real substance behind it."
Bullock writes most of the lyrics to the band's original songs, with favorites including "Surface Level," "Mind Control" and "Taking Back My Love." Most of the songs are reflections of the band's experiences and thoughts on the world, although some of their originals such as "Breakfast in the Afternoon" contain suggestive elements.
"We are a funk band, so you have to have some songs that are just very inappropriate and kinda swanky and make your lip curl," Bullock says.
Audience reception has been fairly positive, Caver and Bullock say.
"I think people really appreciate the realness of the music that we're playing. When you come to one of our shows, you can tell that we really have reverence to the music that we're playing and that we also are playing it with every fiber of our being," Caver says. "I don't think it's possible to come to one of our shows and be bored. Even if you don't really like the type of music that we play, we try to give as much energy to the music that we can, and I think people really respond to that well."
Hood Baby and the Barnacles is set to release a full-length album in early 2020 that they recorded earlier this year at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Songs they have already released can be found on Spotify, iTunes and other music streaming services.
Arkansauce (2-3 p.m.)
Stationed out of Fayetteville, Ark., Arkansauce includes Ethan Bush on mandolin, Zac Archuleta on guitar, Tom Andersen on bass and Adams Collins on banjo. Everyone sings. The four-string band blends elements of bluegrass, "newgrass," folk, Americana, country, blues and funk.
The group started with Bush and Archuleta, who had the opportunity to perform at the Harvest Music Festival on Mulberry Mountain in Arkansauce. They hired Collins as "a hired gun on banjo to fill out the sound and add a little drive to it; a lead instrument to trade with the mandolin," Andersen says. Collins suggested Andersen to fill in the opening for a bass player, and the group debuted at the festival as Arkansauce in 2014.
After playing locally and regionally, they began playing in other places like Colorado and areas along the East Coast. Over this last summer, the band played a three-week tour with Yonder Mountain String Band and played support for Leftover Salmon and for Fruition, with whom they are playing at Gumbo Fest. In February 2020, Arkansauce is heading to Europe for a three-week tour, performing in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and other nearby areas.
"(It's) pretty exciting. They don't really have bluegrass as a traditional form of music, so it's a little foreign to them. ... It's pretty neat to be so far from home and playing music that means so much to people in our region--our friends and fans," Andersen says.
Arkansauce is putting finishing touches on its fourth album, "Maybe Someday," which is set to release by the end of the year.
For more information, visit arkansaucemusic.com or find the band on Spotify, iTunes and other music streaming services.

Fruition (3:30-5 p.m.)
Headlining the Gumbo Festival is Fruition, a group based out of Portland, Ore., who has performed all over since forming in 2008. The band is made up of Jay Cobb Anderson on lead guitar, harmonica and vocals; Kellen Asebroek on rhythm guitar, piano and vocals; Mimi Naja on mandolin, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals; Jeff Leonard on bass; and Tyler Thompson on drums and banjo.
"We always like being in the South," Asebroek says.
The group's music tends to fall within the genres of folk-rock, Americana, soul and blues.
"I like to say that Fruition sounds like bacon tastes. ... warm and delicious and leaves a lasting impression."
That said, the members are not necessarily specifically aiming to fit those genres when creating.
"For us we just write songs. ... Whatever genre or feel that ends up happening for any given song, that's just the way that song in our minds and hearts was supposed to sound."
Fruition performs in a number of festivals and shows each year, and Asebroek describes the experiences as rewarding.
"We create a safe place for ourselves and for fans to kind of let go and live in the moment for a little bit and be vulnerable and exposed," he says. "When you're up on stage in front of a bunch of people, it can be scary if you're not cut out for it. But it can be incredibly empowering and soul-nourishing. The best kind of performances are when you're not thinking and just living."
The band has begun to release vinyl 45s with previously unreleased tracks. They will be released digitally as well, and signed copies will be available at shows.
"We don't put them to CD; we don't print more than 200-250 per pressing. They're kind of collectors' items, and they're songs that we haven't released on albums ... They're great songs that never found a home or songs that we just wanted to let shine on their own instead of being part of a bigger thing," Asebroek says.

Following the 1997 season, Young left the Giants to take a position as an advisor to commissioner Paul Tagliabue in the NFL office. He died of a rare neurological disorder on Dec. 8, 2001.
"George is certainly very deserving of being in the Hall of Fame," said team president and chief executive officer John Mara. "My only regret is that he's not around to enjoy this. He took our organization from being in last place and not having a lot of respect around the league to being a Super Bowl Champion. He made every football department in our organization more professional. He changed the reputation and level of respect that our team had for the better. He improved us in so many different ways. He certainly is a very deserving Hall of Famer. Again, I only wish he could be around to enjoy this moment. It's long overdue. All of us here are very happy that at long last he will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio."
"George Young transformed our organization," said Giants chairman and executive vice president Steve Tisch. "My father (the late Bob Tisch, who purchased Tim Mara's 50 percent ownership in 1991) always appreciated George's leadership and vision, and George was vital to our family as we transitioned from our traditional business interests into the National Football League. For that, we are grateful, and his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame is most deserving and a long time coming."
Ernie Accorsi, who met Young in 1970, came to the Giants as his assistant in 1994 and succeeded him as general manager, has long championed Young's Hall of Fame selection.
"George Young's career is the very definition of a Hall of Famer," Accorsi said. "From assistant coach to scout to general manager to trusted advisor to Commissioner Tagliabue, every step of the way there was excellence. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of George or something I learned from him. The only bittersweet part is that he's not here. But as the great Beano Cook would say, 'If the Gipper knew, George knows.'"
Young becomes the 21st player, coach, owner or executive in the Hall of Fame who spent all or a significant portion of their career with the Giants. That is the fourth-highest total among the 32 NFL franchises, behind only Chicago (27), Green Bay (25) and Pittsburgh (22, including Bill Cowher, whose selection as announced on Saturday).
The Giants' Hall of Fame representatives include Wellington Mara, Mel Hein, Frank Gifford and Lawrence Taylor. Michael Strahan, who was enshrined in 2014, was the most recent member of the Giants to enter the Hall.
Young was a high school football coach for 15 years in his native Baltimore before Don Shula hired him as an assistant in the Colts' personnel department in 1968. Two years later, he was named offensive line coach on a Baltimore team that beat Dallas in Super Bowl V. Young was later director of player personnel and then offensive coordinator before rejoining Shula in Miami in 1974 as the Dolphins' director of personnel and pro scouting.
While Young was climbing the NFL ladder, the Giants were floundering. After playing in their third consecutive NFL Championship Game in 1963, they were a combined 60 games under .500 from 1964-78 – despite five seasons in which they finished .500 or better. The Giants hit bottom on Nov. 19, 1978, when an ill-advised handoff in the final seconds resulted in a fumble that Philadelphia's Herm Edwards scooped up and returned 26 yards for the touchdown that gave the Eagles a shocking 19-17 victory.
To complicate matters, Giants owners Wellington Mara and his nephew Tim had long feuded. But they recognized that a regime change was needed and on Valentine's Day, 1979, Young was hired as the team's general manager after NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle offered him to the team's ownership as a compromise candidate. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '47eaea2304be0501d0f575e0b6037ad8d5c249fe4dd738a0c8233697dd87a681'} |

Susan Granger's review of "CHOCOLAT" (Miramax Films)</PRE>
<P> "Once upon a time, there was a quiet little village in the
French countryside, where people believed in tranquillity. You knew
your place in the scheme of things and, if you happened to forget,
someone would remind you." That's the way Lasse Hallstrom ("The Cider
House Rules") begins this romantic magical fable about a mysterious
single mother (Juliette Binoche) opens a chocolate shop during Lent,
antagonizing the righteous, patriarchal Mayor (Alfred Molina) and
young priest (Hugh O'Conor) but tempting and transforming the stodgy,
drab townsfolk with her tasty confections - while teaching
tolerance. A Julia Roberts lookalike, Juliette Binoche embodies this
sensual, cocoa-obsessed woman, delving into life's dark bitterness and
frothy sweetness, as she mothers her troubled daughter (Victoire
Thivisol) and romances sexy Johnny Depp, a guitar-strumming
vagabond. Carrie Ann Moss is a repressed mother whose keeps her son
away from his feisty, outspoken grandmother, played by Judi
Dench. Hallstrom's real-life wife, Lena Olin engages as the abused
wife of brutish cafe-owner Peter Stormare but Leslie Caron has barely
a cameo as a Gallic matron. Combining a dollop of "Like Water for
Chocolate," a dash of "Tom Jones" and a pinch of "Woman on Top," the
story uses chocolate as a metaphor for pleasure, freedom and
rebellion. Adapting Joanne Harris' richly layered best-seller,
screenwriter Robert Nelson Jacobs has wisely changed the villainous
priest into a prissy nobleman. Roger Pratt's cinematography is
luscious so, although it's utterly predictable, this is a scrumptious
morsel that melts "ever so slowly on your tongue and tortures you with
pleasure." On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Chocolat" is a
delicious 8, a decadent, delectable treat. Indulge yourself!</P>

Oy vey! Am I allowed to have this crush?
I like this boy and he's super sweet and nice. He's Jewish, but my grandma and dad are strict Christians. Help!
Oh dear, it's the age-old religion question. First thing's first: ask yourself if religion is important to you in a relationship. If it's not and you feel like you can connect meaningfully with this boy outside of religion, then go for it. If you feel like you're not ready for a labeled relationship, that's okay too. No one is gonna' stop you from simply crushin' on or flirting with the guy you like.
Consider not bringing up the religion issue with your fam until you're sure that you and this boy want to be official. Then, if they're not accepting of your dating decision, you can discuss it and you can explain why it doesn't bother you and why you like your BF. Hopefully your grandma and dad want you to be your happiest, healthiest self. And if dating someone of a different religion makes you happy, hopefully they'll support you. Good luck!

Where’s the Affordable Carbon Fiber Automobile? – MIT Technology Review
Posted: Tuesday, August 11, 2015
Car parts made of carbon fiber have been used for decades in $1-million-plus European supercars, from the likes of Ferrari and McLaren. But for the first time, a handful of 2016 models sold in neighborhood car dealerships will feature ultralight yet expensive carbon fiber materials. The new BMW 7-series sedan, which starts at about $80,000, as well as the similarly priced Alfa Romeo 4C and Chevrolet Corvette Z06 sports cars, use carbon fiber elements.
But don’t let this fool you into thinking that carbon fiber cars are on the cusp of the mainstream. While the cost of carbon fiber materials and production has declined in recent decades, it remains prohibitive for anything but limited applications in niche vehicles. Though rising fuel efficiency standards have undeniably motivated the auto industry to pursue the technology, it’s only going into production when carmakers believe the material can bring some supercar-style appeal to an expensive model.
Carbon fiber is a flexible fabric-like material that, when combined with a polymer, can be molded into the shape of a car part that is stronger and lighter than today’s steel and aluminum parts. The higher cost is based on the fiber material itself, as well as longer production times. Metal parts can be stamped in seconds, but it can take several minutes for a carbon fiber part to be molded and cured.
BMW is using carbon fiber in key roof elements, supporting roof pillars, and door frames—essentially anything that’s high off the road. Meanwhile, steel and aluminum are employed for the chassis. “We’re saving weight, but we’re saving weight up high,” says Paul Ferraiolo, head of product planning and strategy for BMW North America. “It allows our engineers to design a car with a lower center of gravity.”
A BMW 7-series, including carbon fiber in parts of the frame, is produced at the company’s plant in Dingolfing, Germany.
BMW’s use of carbon fiber on the 7-series leverages investments and experiences in using the material on its i3 and i8 plug-in electric cars. Carbon fiber makes more economic sense for electric cars, because lithium-ion batteries are expensive. Less weight means a smaller battery pack, a worthwhile trade-off. The shift from the i3 to the 7-series is a kind of migration of carbon fiber from one limited application to another—to offset investments that might not reach everyday products for a decade or more.
The same intra-company migration of technology explains the liberal use of carbon fiber on the $75,000 Alfa Romeo 4C sports car, manufactured by Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. “Fiat-Chrysler has a vast resource of experience and expertise in carbon fiber technology, including lesson learned from Ferrari and Maserati,” says Fabio Migliavacca, a senior product planner for Fiat-Chrysler (which also owns those high-end Italian brands).
I recently drove the Alfa Romeo 4C for five days. Fiat-Chrysler used carbon fiber for the entire chassis of this model, and what a difference it makes. The Alfa Romeo 4C weighs about 2,500 pounds, whereas similar luxury roadsters commonly weigh about 3,000 pounds or more. The experience of moving such a lightweight body swiftly into and out of corners is far more thrilling than what you would otherwise expect from a 237-horsepower four-cylinder engine. The carbon fiber body felt highly maneuverable—with a remarkably quick response to inputs from the roadster’s taut steering.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a $65,000 roadster, but what about the more accessible Mazda MX-5 Miata, which starts at about $25,000? “Carbon fiber is not cost-effective at this point,” says Dave Coleman, development engineer of the new Miata. “We have long-term plans for reducing weight in the future, but all the technologies have big question marks next to them.”
The list of questions is long. When will we have faster-curing resins to reduce carbon composite production times? Will more efficient internal combustion and alternatives like electric vehicles yield enough fuel efficiency improvements even if cars don’t get much lighter? Will autonomous safety features allow carmakers to make cars safe enough to save weight by removing existing structural elements?
“It’s a matter of all the relative prices for all the moving goal posts,” says Anthony Vicari, an analyst at Lux Research, which studies adoption of carbon fiber. Multiple interrelated moving goals and cost curves make it very difficult to predict when the materials might jump from exotic sports cars, EVs, and high-end luxury vehicles to high-volume cars produced in quantities of 100,000 units a year. “My best guess is 10 years,” says Vicari.

Q:
Hide row if it is not on the first page
I want to hide a row of a table if it is not rendered on the first page of a report. The table (tablix) is in the header nor in the footer area.
I have tried to set an expression for the RowVisibility-property, something like:
(hidden) =Globals!PageNumber<>1
however, this leads to an exception saying that the PageNumber can only be used from within the header or the footer area.
Is there a possibility to check (in an expression) if an element is located on the first page of a report?
A:
Not a precise answer to my question, but maybe it helps someone with a similar issue:
For the tablix activate the repeat row header option
In the advance row group options, activate the option RepeatOnNewPage
For the rows that should not be shown on the next page, disable the option KeepWithGroup
I don't understand why I can not set RepeatOnNewPage only for some but not for all rows, but with the KeepWithGroup option, it seems to work like I desired.
If someone has a more precise answer to my original question, please post it. I will the change the accept to your answer!

Integrated Crop Management
Crown rot symptoms common in corn
The seedling disease problems that have plagued some fields in Iowa have evolved into crown rot problems. Seedling pathogens can rot seeds, prevent emergence, and kill emerged seedlings, but some infections are not lethal and the surviving plants are stunted. As healthy nodal roots develop, many of these plants should recover. However, it has become clear that some plants are not recovering and remain stunted. Symptoms of crown rot are observed with many of these stunted plants. Plants were stunted and yellowed even with relatively mild crown decay. Some of these plants also show leaf chlorosis typical of potassium (K) deficiency (see Corn leaf potassium deficiency symptoms [1] and Is it iron or potassium deficiency? [2], this issue). There are several possible causes of K deficiency symptoms; one of them is lingering fungal infection of the root and crown tissue.
These corn plants were stunted and yellowed even with relatively mild crown decay.
Dissected corn plant showing symptoms of Fusarium crown rot.
These infections usually are caused by Fusarium species, but Colletotrichum (the fungus that causes anthracnose) can sometimes be isolated from decayed crowns. Several species of Fusarium can commonly be isolated from crowns of corn plants at any growth stage. The presence of Fusarium is indicated by a tan-to-brown discoloration that sometimes is not distinguishable from an uninfected plant. In mild infections, there are usually no other symptoms. In other infections, the discoloration is more severe and the crown tissue can become substantially rotted. These plants can exhibit stunting, leaf discoloration (yellowing or purpling), wilting, and even death. In a field, the first indication may be patches of uneven plant growth, often (but not always) in areas where the soil remained wet for a long time during the spring. Extensive decay of this part of the plant cuts off the connection between leaves and roots and/or directly destroys the growing point.
Stressful growing conditions cause the plants to become more susceptible to this type of infection. These stresses may include wet soils, cold temperatures, soil compaction, fertility problems, or herbicide injury. In previous years, such problems were most evident when a wet spring was followed by an extended dry period. This year, it seems that extended cold soils are the most likely stress factor that has led to increased crown rot susceptibility. For the past couple of weeks, Dr. Doug Jardine has mentioned this problem in the Kansas State University Extension Crop Disease Alert [5] newsletter and in Kansas, Dr. Jardine reports that the crown decay is directly linked to cold weather stress.
Because Fusarium species are so common in crop residue and soil, and resistance to this type of infection is not available, there are few practical control measures. Fungicidal seed treatment does not persist long enough to help in this situation. Crown rot is always associated with some type of stress and the plant symptoms are due to a combination of factors, not just the fungal infection. If predisposing stresses can be identified, alleviating them reduces losses to Fusarium. In plants that are stunted but with crowns that are not totally destroyed, cultivation may promote development of the nodal root system and help the plants recover. Most plants with crown rot will survive to set an ear, but their yields are likely to be reduced.
Finally, it is my observation that fields with crown rot problems often end up with stalk rot problems later, as the same Fusarium species found in the crowns in June can persist and cause stalk rot in September.

Cellular phenotypes and spatio-temporal patterns of lymphatic vessel development in embryonic mouse hearts.
The origin of cardiac lymphatics from venous endothelial cells or from scattered lymphangioblasts has been discussed in the literature. We aimed to establish the stage when lymphatic vessels appear in the developing mouse heart, the location of the first lymphatics, and to define cellular phenotypes of growing lymphatics. We found that scattered Lyve-1-positive cells located in the subepicardial area of developing heart expressed CD45, CD68, F4/80, or CD11b but not CD31. Prox-1(+)/Lyve-1(+) cellular cords or vessels were found to invade 12.5-13.5-dpc hearts via two routes: from the venous pole, i.e., dorsal atrioventricular sulcus, or on the dorsal atrial surface from mediastinum and from the arterial pole, i.e., along the great arteries. The Prox-1(+)/Lyve-1(+) vessels were located among the Prox-1(+)/Lyve-1(-) cords and among the scattered Prox-1(-)/Lyve-1(+) cells. The Prox-1(+)/Lyve-1(-) cellular cords/tubules dominate initially at the arterial pole whereas Lyve-1(+)/Prox-1(-) cellular cords/tubules dominate initially on the venous pole, i.e., dorsal atrioventricular sulcus. The Lyve-1(+)/CD45(+), Lyve-1(+)/CD11b(+), Lyve-1(+)/F4/80(+) and Lyve-1(+)/CD68(+) cells were subsequently found to be co-opted to the wall of the developing lymphatic vessels while gaining Flk-1. Lymphatic primordia exhibit different cellular phenotypes and different spatiotemporal pattern on the venous pole as compared with the arterial pole of the heart. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b20bac299937870bbd655fe954752a140725655feca48f0d828ed7df8b2aaf65'} |
Sleeveless Neckline Bridesmaid Dresses
Bridesmaids can show off their sexy side with a sleeveless bridesmaid dress. The sleeveless bridesmaid dress has a sophisticated and dramatic look that can stand out no matter what the wedding theme is. As with any ensemble, adding just the right style elements to this bridesmaid dress, from jewelry, to foot wear, to the best hair style, can take a sleeveless bridesmaid dress from fine to fabulous. [Continue reading..]
If you want to exude timeless beauty and feminine charm on your wedding day look, choosing a sleeveless bridesmaid dress is a good start. The sleeveless neckline style brings out the best of a bridesmaids figure. A sleeveless bridesmaid dress is a classic yet flirty choice for a wedding attire.
Sleeveless Bridesmaid Dress Style
Sleeveless bridesmaid dresses are similar to other wedding outfits, but designed without any sleeves. Sleeveless bridesmaid dresses have been popular choices for many years. The styling of the sleeveless dress, along with ease of movement, is what makes this style popular.
The sleeveless bridesmaid dress has become a staple neckline style. This neckline can be dressed up or dressed down, and can be adapted to wear for any occasion. The simple styling of the sleeveless bridesmaid dress makes it a versatile piece, lending itself to a variety of fabrics and accessories.
The sleeveless dress was first worn in the 1920’s by flappers. The flappers were young women who were defying social norms. The classic flapper dress was a short sleeveless dress, often decorated with fringe or other types of embellishment. The sleeveless dress became popular because it was comfortable and easy to dance in. This neckline style is suited for warm weather weddings because this design keeps bridesmaids cool. The sleeveless style can also be used in cool weather weddings by just adding a shawl, wrap or bolero.
Sleeveless bridesmaid dresses flatter most types of body figures. Bridesmaid dresses with sleeves restrict range of motion which can cause discomfort issues and mess with the lines and overall tailored elegance of this bridesmaid dress.
However, if you have larger shoulders or arms that you are conscious about, consider wearing a bridesmaid dress with a V neck sleeveless top to highlight your collarbone and neckline while drawing attention away from your arms. It is possible to wear a bridesmaid dress without sleeves while still flattering your arms because there are several ways in which the sleeveless bridesmaid dress can be worn to draw the attention away from unflattering arms and towards other areas. The sleeveless bridesmaid dress style brings out your best features and helps hide imperfect areas.
Many women feel self-conscious about showing their arms because society’s beauty standards calls for toned and slender arms. Despite this, the sleeveless bridesmaid dress has the advantage to create a long vertical line that can be eye catching and pleasing.
Bridesmaids whose shoulders and upper arms are not tanned and toned will generally look longer and leaner if they wear a sleeveless bridesmaid dresses. A sleeveless look may also create a more graceful line for bridesmaids. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '31627bab35dd912be2887737414ba39179b52bdac2013e63c8573ce5e92bf4b6'} |

What Is Paper Gold?
Paper GoldIf you’re new to precious metals, you might have read about paper gold and wondered what it is. Paper gold is not physical gold. Paper gold is a piece of paper, or digits on a computer, acting as a substitute for physical gold. Paper gold is usually traded in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or futures markets. In a futures market, speculators bet on the direction of the gold price. They do not produce gold or use it. They cannot deliver gold to a buyer, nor do they take delivery of the gold. They merely try to profit from a change in the gold price. This mechanism can provide price stability for producers and buyers, but the problem is that there is more paper gold than physical gold in existence.

Elderly care is the highest calling of a person's life. A lot of personal and professional sacrifice goes into taking care of your aging parents in the time of their need. It costs you time, money, and your personal experiences. Eventually, it starts giving you the feeling of bitterness and regret as you spend more time caring for them.

Amputees feel as though their prosthetic limb belongs to their body

In a breakthrough approach that combines virtual reality and artificial tactile sensations, two amputees feel as though their prosthetic hand belongs to their own body. Moreover, the scientists show that the phantom limb actually grows into the prosthetic hand.
The famous idiom “seeing is believing” is not enough to help amputees with the use of their prosthetic limb. Many amputees opt out of prolonged use of their prosthetic limb because their missing limb simply does not fit their prosthesis. In other words, their own perception of the missing limb, or the brain’s representation of it, does not match-up with what they see of the prosthesis.
The underlying problem is twofold. Amputees still feel their missing limb, even if it is physically gone, and this ghost limb aka phantom limb is perceived as much smaller that the lost limb. Next, the commercially available prosthetic limb does not yet provide sensory feedback other than what the patient sees, meaning that the patient has no sense of touch from the prosthetic limb and must constantly watch it for correct use.
Tricking the brain to embody the prosthetic limb
Now, in a scientific collaboration led by EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), scientists show that amputees can actually be convinced that the prosthetic hand belongs to their own body. They do this by going beyond the “seeing is believing” idiom based on established research on how the brain identifies what belongs to its own body. Instead of using the sense of sight alone, they used an astute combination of two senses: sight and touch. The results are published today in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
“The brain regularly uses its senses to evaluate what belongs to the body and what is external to the body. We showed exactly how vision and touch can be combined to trick the amputee’s brain into feeling what it sees, inducing embodiment of the prosthetic hand with an additional effect that the phantom limb grows into the prosthetic one,” explains Giulio Rognini of EPFL’s Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroprosthetics led by Olaf Blanke, in a collaboration with Silvestro Micera of EPFL and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Italy. “The setup is portable and could one day be turned into a therapy to help patients embody their prosthetic limb permanently.”
In two hand amputees, the scientists provided artificial tactile sensations at the tip of the index finger – of the phantom limb – by stimulating the patient’s nerve in the stump. At the same time, the patient wore virtual reality goggles which showed the index finger of the prosthetic limb glowing in synchrony with the administered touch sensations. This combination of virtual reality with artificial tactile sensations takes the rubber-hand illusion to another level.
Both patients reported feeling as though the prosthetic hand belonged to their own body. Moreover, when asked to evaluate the position of their hands, both patients felt as though their phantom limb had extended into the prosthetic limb. Previous to the experiment, they both reported that the phantom hand was small and directly connected to the stump, as if the phantom limb had no forearm, a change in size referred to as “telescoping” in scientific jargon. In fact, their phantom limb extended during the experiment, and remained extended for up to 10 minutes afterwards.
The experiment simply requires the patient to passively observe two sensations on the fingertip, the visual glow and the artificial touch happening in synchrony, in order for embodiment and extension of the phantom limb to take place. This is the first time that the principles of multisensory integration, in particular how the brain integrates bodily multisensory information to create the coherent and compelling experience of having a body, have been tailored to provoke embodiment of the prosthetic hand and reduction of telescoping.
Building upon results from a European-wide collaboration
The study builds upon research that opened new avenues is prosthetics. In 2014, in a European collaboration led by EPFL, scientists overcame a major hurdle by giving an amputee the ability to feel – in real-time – with the help of their prosthetic hand. Information about touch coming from sensors at the prosthetic fingertips were directly processed and relayed into the nervous system via electrodes that were surgically wired to the stump’s main nerves. The potential of this technology is still being explored, and two years later in 2016, the scientists showed that the enhanced prosthetic technology could even help the same amputee detect differences in texture

Outline of the Migration Process
This document lists the steps of a successful migration to Denodo 7.0.
If you are migrating from Denodo 5.5 or earlier, you cannot migrate to Denodo 7.0 directly. See below Migrating from Denodo 5.5 or Earlier.
The upgrade process has four main steps:
1. Install Denodo Platform 7.0 on a new location.
We will refer to the platform that has just been installed as new version, installed at <NEW_DENODO_HOME>.
2. Export all metadata from your current Denodo Platform installation.
We will refer to the previously installed version of the Denodo Platform as the current version, installed at <OLD_DENODO_HOME>.
3. Import the metadata from the “old” version to the new one.
4. Configure the new Denodo Platform.
We strongly recommend migrating and testing the non-production environments before the production environments.
If you are going to upgrade from Denodo 5.0 or earlier, contact the Denodo Support Team.
Migrating from Denodo 5.5 or Earlier
To migrate the metadata of Virtual DataPort version 5.5 or earlier into version 7.0, you cannot import the VQL file of version 5.5 into 7.0, directly. You have to “go through” Virtual DataPort 6.0. This is because, among other things, several VQL statements of Denodo 5.5 are not supported by Denodo 7.0. Denodo 6.0 does support them and the VQL it generates is compatible with Denodo 7.0.
In this scenario, follow these steps:
1. Install a Denodo 6.0 server and its latest update.
2. Follow the steps of the following sections of the Migration Guide version 6.0, to export the metadata from the Virtual DataPort server version 5.5 or earlier:
1. Export the Metadata of the Current Installation
2. Modify the Virtual DataPort Metadata
3. Import the Metadata to the New Installation
3. Install a Denodo 7.0 server and its latest update.
4. Follow the steps of this Migration Guide to export the metadata from Virtual DataPort 6.0 into Virtual DataPort 7.0. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8408235907554626}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '464271', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:I7VPMF575HVTNPOGF53CZYOBYL4YJ4AK', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:742ea4ab-5ae0-4fe8-a236-9c69b2c530ff>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 10, 21, 13, 41, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '158.69.125.30', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GRTB2PJAJHPVMSXCGCCWCARE4DRTEHA2', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:052297b6-ca15-408a-8e24-9362d0426fc4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/platform/migration/outline_of_the_migration_process', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:c0790dc4-d298-4617-a432-1acde95d10e3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '317', 'url': 'https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/platform/migration/outline_of_the_migration_process', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-43\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-28.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08740895986557007', 'original_id': 'ea475f48ddfe542c174687ffd92b3353fcc12306b5ca260c9502691bc6ac1d23'} |
Three of China's largest cargo carriers - China Cargo Airlines (CK, Shanghai Hongqiao), Air China Cargo (CA, Beijing Capital), and the cargo division of China Southern Airlines (CZ, Guangzhou) - are to merge the deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has told the Xinhua news agency.
According to Zhou Laizhen, the resulting carrier will be Asia's largest air-freight transport company. He offered no possible timelines for the merger.
A 70/30 joint venture between China Eastern Airlines (MU, Shanghai Hongqiao) and China Ocean Shipping, China Cargo Airlines operates four B747-400(F)s, one B757-200(PF), and six B777-Fs while for its part, Air China Cargo is a joint venture between Air China (CA, Beijing Capital) and Cathay Pacific (CX, Hong Kong Int'l) operating three B747-400(F)s, four B757-200(F)s, and six B777-Fs. China Southern's freight operations include two reactivated B747-400(F)s and nine B777-Fs.
Together, the airlines offer extensive connectivity between the Chinese market and those in Asia, Europe, and North America. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.8487210273742676}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '40832', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:MDOMWHGUW2RUAB7GMV3V2WRKBLWZRG2Y', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:9966357c-3473-4815-a553-f9da9970f52b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 18, 18, 15, 1), 'WARC-IP-Address': '94.130.206.73', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5AEAB34A4EKG4XGI7CK66B5EIQS2TJ34', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c639f454-41bf-4fba-b906-d112c901c5e9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38463-three-chinese-freight-operators-set-to-merge', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:626fcede-2da1-4e49-b4d8-460467198876>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '150', 'url': 'https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/38463-three-chinese-freight-operators-set-to-merge', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-181-174-70.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.0380595326423645', 'original_id': 'e07db14703565f0487c9f1947af43aa2d71d87fc088adbdd1e2232cf15dab83a'} |
Present-day Darwinists are making the same error as that of pharaoh in the past
The Evolution Deceit
Those who imagine that the history of the nonsense that is evolution goes back only 150 years are mistaken. The evolution deception is the worst in the history of mankind, and its roots go back to Egyptian and Sumerian times with a history dating back thousands of years. Pharaoh, the most heretical and oldest representative of Darwinist philosophy, was a materialist who believed that all living things came into being by chance from the muddy waters of the Nile.
The essential philosophy of the theory of evolution has been based on the same distorted conception ever since ancient Egypt. Darwinists in those days who adopted chance as their false god and those alive today all worship the same false deity. The Darwinists who once believed that life emerged from the muddy waters of the River Nile today claim that the first living cell came into existence out of muddy clay. Although the proofs of Creation were just as explicit and clear in those days, too, Pharaoh waged a ruthless campaign against them, and that same state of affairs still applies today. Today, 250 million fossils proving Creation are on open display to all. But just as in the time of Pharaoh, that same Darwinist mindset opposes the scientific facts with a terrible rage and anger.
In ancient Egypt, the Prophet Musa (as) opposed Darwinism, the most heretical and superstitious religion in the history of mankind, with great and definitive proofs of Creation. Under Allah’s command, the Prophet Musa (as) cast his staff down onto the ground before the eyes of Pharaoh and his men. Through the great might of Allah it straight away turned into a snake and swallowed up all the false evidence of Pharaoh and his men. THROUGH THE WILL OF ALLAH, A WOODEN STAFF TURNED INTO A MOVING, EATING AND FLAWLESS SERPENT. This extraordinary evidence took place before the eyes of Pharaoh and his men, and was created to be undeniably magnificent. Yet Pharaoh’s denial, despite this explicit proof, shows the scale of the disaster to which the Darwinist mindset leads. In His verses Almighty Allah reveals the proofs of Creation manifested in the staff of the Prophet Musa (as):
Pharaoh said, ‘What is the Lord of all the worlds?’ He said, ‘The Lord of the heavens and the Earth and everything between them if you knew for sure.’ He said to those around him, ‘Are you listening?’ He said, ‘Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers, the previous peoples.’ He said, ‘This Messenger, who has been sent to you, is mad.’ He said, ‘The Lord of the East and the West and everything between them if you used your intellect.’ He said, ‘If you take any god other than me, I will certainly throw you into prison.’ He said, ‘Even if I were to bring you something undeniable?’ He said, ‘Produce it then if you are someone telling the truth.’ So He threw down his staff and there it was, unmistakably a snake. And he drew out his hand and there it was, pure white to those who looked. He said to the High Council round about him, ‘This certainly is a skilled magician who desires by his magic to expel you from your land, so what do you recommend?’ They said, ‘Detain him and his brother and send out marshals to the cities, to bring you all the skilled magicians.’ So the magicians were assembled for a meeting on a specified day. The people were asked, ‘Are you all assembled so we can follow the magicians if they are the winners?’ When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, ‘Will we be rewarded if we are the winners?’ He said, ‘Yes, and in that case you will be among those brought near.’ Musa said to them, ‘Throw whatever it is you are going to throw!’ They threw down their ropes and staffs and said, ‘By the might of Pharaoh we are the winners.’ But Musa threw down his staff and at once it swallowed up what they had fabricated. The magicians threw themselves down, prostrating. They said, ‘We believe in the Lord of all the worlds, the Lord of Musa and Harun.’ He said, ‘Have you believed in Him before I authorized you? He is your chief who taught you magic. But you will soon know! I will cut off your alternate hands and feet and I will crucify every one of you.’ They said, ‘We do not care! We are returning to our Lord. We remain hopeful that our Lord will forgive us our mistakes for being the first of the believers.’ (Surat ash-Shuara, 23-51)
Our Almighty Lord created powerful evidence proving the fact of Creation in the face of Pharaoh’s own perverted belief. The sorcerers who heeded the voice of their consciences in the face of this evidence immediately believed and turned to faith instead of the cruelty of Pharaoh. A similar state of affairs is going on today. EXTRAORDINARILY CLEAR AND DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE PROVING A PERFECT CREATION OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS HAS BEEN SHOWN to Darwinists, who have adopted chance as their false god and are unable to produce any scientific proof of their own. Allah has made the proofs of Creation so manifest and accessible that it is impossible for any rational person to look at them and not conclude that evolution is utter nonsense. The complex structure of a single protein, the impossibility of life emerging spontaneously and the MORE THAN 250 MILLION FOSSILS THAT PROVE CREATION are all exceedingly powerful proofs. And all this evidence is proof of the magnificent and sublime Creation of Allah.
Today’s Darwinists are making the same mistake as Pharaoh, who denied the evidence of Creation made so clear by the Prophet Musa (as). THEY DENY the millions of proofs of Creation. Although they see the truth, they espouse a deception for the sake of espousing a heretical faith. They continue to resist the truth, EVEN THOUGH THEIR CONSCIENCES ADMIT IT. TODAY, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DARWINIST ANYWHERE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT DARWINISM IS NONSENSE. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DARWINIST WHO FAILS TO SEE THAT ALL THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE VERIFIES CREATION. Therefore, the most correct and rational thing for them to do is to abandon this meaningless obstinacy, not to think that there is “no way back” from having espoused Darwinism for so long, and to believe in the truth and the reality proven by all the evidence. This reality IS THE FACT THAT ALMIGHTY ALLAH CREATES ALL THINGS.
Pharaoh resisted despite being well aware of the true facts, and even tried to kill the Prophet Musa (as). But with his last breath he admitted that he knew the truth and believed in Allah. But saying that he believed only when confronted with the reality of death did him no good in the presence of Allah. Allah merely saved the body of Pharaoh, who believed that matter was the sole absolute reality and truth in this world. He preserved the corpse as a deterrent to subsequent generations. But his soul is in the presence of Allah. He was brought into the presence of our Lord in order to account for his denial of Allah, for espousing chance instead of Allah, and for his excesses despite having clearly seen the evidence of Creation. (Allah knows the truth.) Our Almighty Lord describes Pharaoh’s downfall in these verses:
Perceptive statements by Adnan Oktar clarifying the matter from an interview dated 8 November, 2009, read as follows:
ADNAN OKTAR: When he [the Prophet Musa (as)] threw his staff down on the ground it immediately turned into a snake. He was of course greatly relieved to see this, Alhamdulillah. The sorcerers there, our faithful brothers, were stunned. He proved Creation in a single moment. What he did was to tear down the idea of evolution, root and branch. There was now a normal snake there, and no staff made out of wood. It swallowed up what the sorcerers had fabricated, taking it all into its own stomach. It was a genuine snake, in other words. Because had it all been a hallucination, their fabrications should still have been there. They should still have been there had it all been an artificial phenomenon. The animal moved about. It was a normal animal, in other words. Almighty Allah showed that this was the truth when one believes 100% in Creation. Proof of Creation. What did Pharaoh espouse? Darwinism. What did he say? That all human beings, all living things, all of life, came into being from the muddy waters of the Nile or a muddy field. But Almighty Allah said, “I have created in a single moment.” But Pharaoh refused to believe and even demanded to know the position of previous generations, how the first human beings came into existence. He demanded to have information about what is called the Stone Age and the Paleolithic Age. The Prophet Musa (as) says that our Lord forgets nothing. He says that everything is included in this matter. He says that Allah did this in a display of this power. But no matter what the evidence, he still refused to believe.
: Finally, as you know, Pharaoh’s army decided to attack the Muslims and drive them out. At the Prophet Musa’s (as) command they began fleeing from Pharaoh. They came to the sea and lamented that Pharaoh’s army would now catch up with them. But look, because of his spiritual training the blessed one [the Prophet Musa (as)] said, (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan), “Never.” “My Lord is with me” he said. They now had the sea in front of them and Pharaoh’s army behind. But the sea suddenly drew back. It is a miracle that this happened at just that time, of course. Such things happen with tsunamis and the like, but are very, very rare. It is a miracle that it happened then. The sea rises up like a mountain to enormous heights. Something like a tsunami took place then, insha’Allah. Pharaoh regarded it as normal. Such things have happened from time to time in history. Yet it is a miracle that it happened just then, something like a tsunami. Because the sea opened up in two. They could see fish and seaweed and the sea divided. Pharaoh was quite relaxed. He saw the way was open and that his [the Prophet Musa’s (as)] people had gone across. “Come on,” they said, and plunged in after them with their chariots. But then the sea suddenly closed over them again. He (Pharaoh) said, “I believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun.” But Almighty Allah asked, “Only now?” “Were you not told many times before? Did you not see countless miracles?” Right at the moment of death. Almighty Allah said, “I will preserve you.” But He said He would only preserve his body. Since you believe only in matter and the body, since you do not believe in the existence of the soul, since you say there is no soul, since you even say that I do not exist, then I will preserve that body you love so much, adorned with gold and gems. Almighty Allah says He will take his soul. I will preserve your body as a deterrent to others, He says. Almighty Allah says He will preserve his body for others to see.

Assuming you're trying to do this under an X11-based windowing system, look up how you create a new module for xscreensaver. xscreensaver does all the work of locking the screen, checking passwords, etc and executing your program when appropriate. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.879385232925415}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '3488', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:T5XJZHJZ2MYZ6WJH2Q4I6LI7DRLCAWRI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:fef5bfe3-dc8c-4b71-9a77-e59aaa8dc6cf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 23, 4, 8, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.46.93.160', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:FGE735Y4FZ3N6WLG2A74AGGEJIYMMJKH', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:7503d73b-2b71-4ffc-8f42-5678145d635e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://cboard.cprogramming.com/archive/index.php/t-139153.html?s=9957a40f57389d2106a1b6de10047736', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5f116ba3-6671-454b-a9b4-a7c39d8fae3c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '98', 'url': 'https://cboard.cprogramming.com/archive/index.php/t-139153.html?s=9957a40f57389d2106a1b6de10047736', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-99-168-2.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03206557035446167', 'original_id': '775b958fccb521f5dace4341f6cc1a99c8f36a4dd05eba9bc0614ae85f2c0bad'} |
Massive anti-Brexit rallies in London, demands a second referendum
As the house of commons in British Parliament was immersed in heated debates on Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, millions of Britons took to streets shouting anti-Brexit slogans.
They demanded the bifurcation from the EU nullified and a new opinion poll to decide the fate of the UK in the European Union. The protesters gathered outside the Palace of Westminster to demand that voters be given the final say on Brexit. The colorful paraders were waving European Union flags and shouting anti-Brexit slogans.
After hours of protest, they rejoiced as the news came out that the house has decided to withhold the Brexit referendum. The protests drew about a million people, which would make it one of the largest demonstrations in British history. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '13830f5ae9ba78a954c17cae4f91144b387b4e36e7d0a64c5ee69d355a5ad79a'} |
How to remove hidden Virtual CD (VCD) partitions on your Western Digital external disks
Updated: July 3, 2010
Every now and then I head into my favorite local computer store and buy a handful of gadgets, mainly disks of all kinds. Just a few weeks ago, I bought a 640GB Western Digital 2.5-inch Passport external USB drive, which I started using for multi-booting various Linux distributions off my RD510 laptop, including Ubuntu, Linux Mint and others. As the machine was already clogged with a quadruple boot, exploring new operating systems would necessitate wiping some of those away or using a second hard disk.
Well, I knew the device would come preformatted with NTFS and loaded with all kinds of garbage utilities that no one needs. However, I did not expect a hidden partition to be included, one that most conventional partitioning tools could not detect or delete.
I was angered, but this the experience gave me a superb opportunity to show you how you can handle the super-annoying menace of completely unnecessary vendor crap that is so audaciously bundled with sold hardware.
The tutorial explains how to do this with Western Digital (WD) disks, but the general approach should work well with all devices by all vendors, if and when you stumble across a bad example. There's also a brief mention of U3 removal tools.
Step 1: Explore
If you have a Linux machine, use it first for examining the new hardware. It is not uncommon for preformatted disks to include an autorun file, which can trigger the execution of software on Windows machines with this functionality enabled. In fact, autorun and autoplay are enabled by default, unless you take the steps to prevent them.
Next, it is not uncommon to find Windows malware on external disks now and then. In this case, using a Linux machine to examine the contents of the device is a very good option.
Well, I plugged the disk and, lo and behold, I had two devices showing up in Nautilus.
There was the standard disk, which is what the simple consumer would expect:
And there was the absurdly named SmartWare, a UDF-formatted partition the size of a CD, containing all kinds of stupid software.
Well, no matter. Let's format the device and get rid of the unneeded stuff. However, the presence of two devices was already a sign of bad things to come. For example, if you use the fdisk utility, you will only see the normal partition show up. The SmartWare is a virtual CD drive and read-only.
I also tried using GParted and it was unable to kill the SmartWare partition. It was time to explore some more stringent methods.
Into Windows
Reading online and consulting with friends who have already had to tackle this nonsense before, I found a handful of tips and tools that could help. Most people having to fight this problem will be Windows users, which is why they will appreciate Windows-related tips on how to combat digital oppression.
Here's what it looks like in Windows:
I have killed the My Passport partition, which shows as unallocated Disk 5, but the extra CD-ROM is there.
Western Digital does advertise a Virtual CD utility on their site, which can disable the Virtual CD device. But it's not quite what you think. Read on.
The SmartWare Virtual CD Manager is a tool that lets you hide the VCD on your drive. However, it does not truly remove it, merely prevents Windows from showing the device and keeping you ignorant of its presence.
If you click Configure Drive, the VCD will be hidden, but if you examine the Passport device in the Disk Management facility, you will notice there is no change in the available space.
We still only have 595.51GB, just as before. Just to make sure, I did the same thing on Linux. Indeed, the utility merely hides the presence of the virtual CD drive, but it does not vanish it. Another gallant, blatant disregard of users. Time to use a third-party tool.
HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
What you want is HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. This little program will truly destroy the VCD utility and make your disk into one whole unit, which you can then use and partition as you please.
Now, looking in the Disk Management utility, we have some extra space gained:
After format
And in Linux:
New look
Job done! We now have a normal disk to work with.
Question ...
Why do vendors have to bundle their useless stuff with the hardware they sell? Better yet, why does it have to be included on the devices sold? Why not include a CD, which users can then explore and install specific applications or tools at their own leisure?
Why do I have to have a non-removable virtual CD drive in use? I did not ask for it, nor do I want it. The sensible solution would be to have the virtual CD thingie disabled by default and then let users choose if they want to have it used, not the other way around.
This is annoying on so many levels. It's more than just a software thing, it's the one-size-fits-all decision by the vendor to jam moronity down users' throats and make blanket rules about what and how the users should use the useless software.
Well, now you know how to get rid of the stuff, so all is well.
Thanks to A. W. for his tips!
Oh, I will continue exploring and see if there's an equivalent Linux utility that can murder these hidden partitions. I'll have another tutorial baked once this is done.
What about U3?
Ah yes, another nonsense. Well, there's the U3 utility that truly kills it off, available for Windows and Mac users. In Linux, you may want to try u3-tool, which does the same thing. Thanks to Ocky for this discovery.
I was a little angry when I wrote this tutorial, even more than that while actually doing the formatting. I have always loved Western Digital products, they are stable, robust and durable and have always served me well, but I cannot accept the automated demotion of my intelligence into a mindless yes-man. The trend of bundling tons of genuinely useless software with hardware products is worrying. It's more than just packaging some leaflets and a CD or two. It's turned aggressive, to the point users are forced to chew on whatever the vendor decides to do.
Most average users won't be able to discover how to get rid of the VCD and will have to live with it, which is probably what the vendor had it mind when they opted for this solution. Just two years ago, when I bought my first Passport, there was none of this nonsense. The disk was shiny and clean.
Forced, embedded solutions are almost like malware, an undesired by product the user has little or no control over. It's like having browsers install toolbars or ad-supported solutions that you do not need, without giving you any option of removing them, merely hiding them from the view.
I won't go as far as recommending you boycott companies doing this, since you would be denying yourselves fairly decent hardware products, but you should take every step to express your anger and disapproval. And fight back. I've just shown you how.

When you first purchase a vehicle, you are going to have to have a car inspection. Car inspections check to make sure that the car is in driveable condition. When there are issues with the safety of a vehicle, you can expect your mechanic to point them out. To be able to drive a vehicle on the road in Canada, you have to have a safety inspection done. When a vehicle does not pass a safety inspection, you must repair the problems. Once they are repaired, you must then return to the mechanic to make sure they were repaired properly. When the mechanic deems the vehicle and all of the “dangerous” components properly repaired, they will issue what is called a safety certificate. This allows you to be able to legally register and drive the vehicle.
How Much Does It Cost For A Car Inspection?
The cost of a car inspection really depends on where you go. Any licensed automobile garage in Canada is allowed to issue a safety for a vehicle. The actual cost of a car inspection is often much less than fixing the car itself. Generally, you can expect the inspection to cost under a hundred dollars. However, it can cost more if you get them to do any work on the vehicle. It really depends on the garage that you take your vehicle to. Some garages have higher labor costs than others.
What Is An E-Test?
An E-test is also known as an emissions test. Basically, depending on where you live in Canada, there are regulations on the emissions that a car can produce. When a car produces too much carbon dioxide during an emissions test, it can fail. Usually, this will occur if your car has an exhaust leak coming from the exhaust pipe. However, there are other problems that can cause a vehicle to fail. If and when a vehicle fails an emissions test in an area with regulations, it is not allowed to be registered and it cannot be legally driven in that area.
What Is Inspected On A Car?
There are actually far fewer things inspected on a vehicle than you might think when a car inspection is done. The most common things that people fail for are actually things that are very easy to fix. Things like damaged windshield wipers or windows, poor brakes, burnt out bulbs, a broken or not working parking brake as well as tires that don’t have enough tread on them. However, mechanics do check things that you are less likely to look at as well. Things like leaks and holes in the exhaust system, the wheel assembly, brake lines, working seat belts etc. At the end of an inspection, the mechanic will give you a sheet of paper that notifies you of all of the work that needs to be done to pass a safety.
Can I Drive My Vehicle Before My Inspection Is Done?
Yes, you can actually drive your vehicle before an inspection is done on it. Once you register a vehicle, you can pay to get a temporary license plate sticker for it. This temporary sticker will allow you to be able to drive your vehicle for a total of 10 days. Once these 10 days are up, you need to go and get a regular license plate sticker. To get a regular license plate sticker, you must have had an inspection take place on your vehicle. Your vehicle must have been deemed safe during the inspection and to prove this to the registry office, you must show them a safety certificate written up by the shop.
How Long Does An Inspection Take?
Generally, an inspection won’t take more than an hour for a shop to complete. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to just drive into a shop and leave in an hour with an inspection in hand. Most shops do have a busy schedule. You are likely going to have to book an appointment to get your vehicle looked at. Once you book an appointment, you will likely be able to leave your car for a few hours and go back later to pick it up along with the safety inspection.
How Long Is An Inspection Good For?
After a safety inspection is completed and your mechanic deems your vehicle to be safe to drive, you will receive a safety certificate that is valid for 36 days. Once that period of time passes, if you have not registered your vehicle yet, you are going to have to have another safety inspection done. It is important to note that a certificate doesn’t guarantee that your vehicle is safe to drive for any given period of time. This means that you will have a difficult time suing or pursuing a lawsuit against a mechanic if you get into an accident as a result of a part failing on you.
What Is A Car Safety Inspection Checklist?
A car safety inspection checklist is something that mechanics reference, but that you also have access to. A safety checklist is basically a list of things that a mechanic is supposed to check when a vehicle inspection is done. The nice thing about having access to this safety checklist is that you can check some of these things out yourself to make sure that your vehicle qualifies for a safety. Although you may not be a mechanic, you should have no problem checking some things out such as brake pad thickness and tire tread levels. The more you can fix before an inspection takes place, the better chance you have of passing.
To Conclude:
Without being a certified mechanic it is hard to say what exactly you are going to have to fix on your vehicle to safety it. Luckily, safety inspections are very affordable to do and they can be done within a short period of time. You shouldn’t have a hard time finding a garage that would be willing to do a safety inspection on your vehicle. Most garages do offer safety inspections. The sooner you get one done, the sooner you can get your car on the road and start driving it. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9672667980194092}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '70048', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:IJHQPDGJPGIEYBAF5KJTOL7VKEY7CMZK', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c10da4a3-1f3a-4c54-9fe7-dc25928677c8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 24, 22, 10, 54), 'WARC-IP-Address': '35.208.14.114', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:OZ2NHEZDFH6SYFCZVCFBOXAYUOQS7POQ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f0a2d4ad-b03b-4e11-a13c-5f38a4a97546>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.stingypig.ca/faq/what-do-car-inspections-check-for-in-canada/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:017de1cf-f217-4054-a6f1-42793aec1453>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1036', 'url': 'https://www.stingypig.ca/faq/what-do-car-inspections-check-for-in-canada/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-24\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May/June 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-190.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08728796243667603', 'original_id': 'f0604818a52fd4d47c88b64a6b5afa1219bcf44e4d9fd170311f4ce41f58eb8b'} |

Costs can be awarded even if an employee cannot afford to pay
An employment tribunal can decide whether to make a costs order. The recent case of Chadburn v Doncaster & Bassetlaw Hospital NHS Foundation Trust makes it clear that, in making its decision, the tribunal will not only consider what the claimant can afford to pay at the time the costs award is made but may take future income into account.
Mrs Chadburn brought claims for unfair dismissal and race discrimination against her employer, an NHS trust. The employment tribunal considered the unfair dismissal claim was “reasonably pursued” but found that she had fabricated the discrimination claims so that the tribunal could hear her complaints for harassment.
The tribunal made a £10,000 costs award against Mrs Chadburn for unreasonable conduct, holding that the employer’s costs were increased by approximately £35,000 in defending the discrimination element of her claim (out of a total of £72,500 excluding VAT).
Despite evidence that Mrs Chadburn had limited means to pay, the tribunal made the costs award considering that she was 39 years old and would be likely to improve her financial position in her future years of work. The tribunal also noted that Mrs Chadburn’s future divorce was likely to improve her financial means.
Mrs Chadburn appealed, arguing that that her debts were greater than originally represented and that the tribunal should not have taken into account her future divorce.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) dismissed her appeal. The award was made on the grounds that Mrs Chadburn’s financial position was likely to improve in the future, as she would be able to earn enough to pay it. The tribunal did consider that the future divorce might play a part in discharging the costs award but this was not their main consideration.
The EAT further held that the tribunal did not have to take Mrs Chadburn’s financial means into account at all. The question of costs did not have to be decided on what Mrs Chadburn could afford when the costs order was made and the tribunal was right to consider Mrs Chadburn’s future ability to pay.
This case does not establish new principles but serves as a reminder of how tribunals may exercise their broad discretion to make costs awards and do not have to make a precise assessment of what each claimant can afford. The decision also illustrates to employees the dangers of exaggerating or inventing claims, as the rules on costs can operate harshly against them. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '4', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9788810014724731}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '46308', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:HNM5WCDYJE6JREQM7DKC6JGOLLB5FLPE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:3116f96a-41e5-41e8-80f9-cd53d92f2fa6>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 16, 19, 38, 52), 'WARC-IP-Address': '185.35.248.241', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:XO7FFACEKJO4HIXTSK6CL3SKISTGUE5A', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9730b266-902d-4f89-b07e-1737c4f3b640>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.steeleslaw.co.uk/costs-can-be-awarded-even-if-an-employee-cannot-afford-to-pay/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:39ff22d1-9926-4da1-96f0-efb42f65bc8c>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '452', 'url': 'http://www.steeleslaw.co.uk/costs-can-be-awarded-even-if-an-employee-cannot-afford-to-pay/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-09\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for February 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-154-78-3.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.045600950717926025', 'original_id': '763f24a12c8cb655658bf3866ca4a996fccafd5166da9ec3e94dc66687400343'} |

Best Matcha Tea
best matcha green tea
matcha tea
Matcha is a special type of Japanese green tea that is made in the Japanese provinces of Nishio and Uji. Nowadays it is the most wanted drink in the world because of its healing properties.
Japanese drink it on special occasions. It is a drink that is among the top world teas. Matcha has a specific nutty taste with a slightly bitter note. The greener is the tea the stronger flavor it has.
Where to buy it?
You have many options when it gets to purchasing Matcha. You can buy it in supermarkets, department stores or online. One note here, if you want to buy a quality Matcha tea than you should be aware that tea bought in Supermarket won’t be the same quality as bought from other sellers.
Your tea should have a bright green color and should be expensive. You can choose among different sellers and products that have descriptions and information. Best Matcha tea is produced in Japan but you can choose between Taiwan or Chinese type as well.
Japanese prepare it in the traditional way. Buddhist monks improve their concentration by drinking it and clear their thoughts after long meditations. This isn’t a tea that we are used to. It is a green powder that is grounded from green tea leaves.
The production process
The production process of this tea starts several weeks before the leaves are ready to harvest. Tea trees are covered with tarpaulins so they are protected from direct sunlight. This slows their growth; leaves retain a lot of chlorophyll which is also reflected in the vivid green color.
Harvested leaves are treated with steam to dry and then they remove any stems and impurities. It is more expensive than other teas due to the low and demanding production process.
The benefits
Matcha green tea powder contains a lot of vitamin C and has 5x more caffeine than coffee. By drinking it you consume whole leaves and not only the extract from the leaves. This way you consume a much larger amount of antioxidants.
Just one cup contains a full dose of potassium, vitamins A and C, a bunch of protein and calcium. It is absolutely necessary to drink it freshly prepared; otherwise, it will lose all ‘magical’ properties.
Catechins in the tea have antibiotic properties that improve general health. With one cup, you consume plentiful amounts of potassium, vitamins A and C, iron, protein, and calcium, and thereby improve the functioning of the immune system.
Researchers have also confirmed an extremely positive effect of the drink on lowering bad cholesterol in the blood.
Protects cardiovascular system
It has been shown that people who enjoy it are 11 percent less likely to develop cardiovascular disease. The active ingredients in the tea should also assist in preventing the attack of HIV on human T-cells.
Matcha allows that monks cross in a higher state of consciousness because of the amino acid L-theanine.
Improves the mood
It stimulates the production of alpha brain waves which are responsible for the waking and at the same time relaxed state. Moreover, it encourages the formation of dopamine and serotonin which improves mood, memory, and concentration.
matcha tea
If you are looking for a detox, you should definitely choose matcha. Green tea leaves are full of chlorophyll which acts as a natural drain of heavy metals and toxins from the body.
It is proven that it is a very good ally in weight loss as it stimulates the metabolism and helps the body burn fat 4x faster than normal.
We have a tone of matcha tea benefits and these are just one of them:
• It accelerates metabolism
• It helps the body to burn fat, supposedly four times faster than the normal way
• Doesn’t accelerate the heart rate nor increases blood pressure
• Relaxes
• Improves concentration and memory
• Increases energy levels and endurance
• Helps burn calories
• Cleans the body
• Successfully fights against cholesterol, etc.
• It has 100 times more valuable antioxidant EGCG than other foods and drinks, which is the strongest weapon against cancer
• This cup of green tea contains five times more antioxidants than any other food
Making the tea
matcha whisk set
Matcha is definitely best to prepare in the Matcha bowl with a whisk and spoon made of bamboo. Use 1-2 tablespoons of powder (1-2 g) and pour about 100 ml of hot water on the powder.
The water must have 80 degrees max and 60 degrees min so you boil the water and cool it down to the recommended temperature.
The tea must be immediately beat with a bamboo whisk to foam. Mix it in the shape of the letter W. The whisk shouldn’t touch the bottom of the cup. If you don’t want lumps in your drink; than sieve the powder before using it. You can use a small battery whisk for frothing milk instead of a bamboo whisk.
Matcha tea powder for cooking
You can use the powder in the kitchen also. It is also used for cooking and baking. For example, use it for a marble cake as a substitute for cocoa.
You can add the powder in the dough for cupcakes or muffins. Add 1-2 teaspoons of powder in the dough and your dessert will have a beautiful green color. You can also add it to the sponge cake and in the cream for a cake. Use your imagination and surprise your family and friends.
Drink the most popular tea
Are you curious about how does it taste like? You are not the only one.
This tea is very powerful and has many health benefits. It will purify your body from toxins and also protect you from modern diseases.
Matcha has 5x more caffeine than coffee but it won’t affect your heart and blood pressure. This is wonderful news because many people prefer decaf teas just because of the caffeine effect.
Caffeine should raise your heartbeat and blood pressure but with this tea, you shouldn’t experience it. So you can enjoy your “greeny” tea on your sofa when relaxing before bedtime.
You can use best matcha powder in desserts too, adding it in cakes, doughs, smoothies, creams, etc. There is no limit to its usage. More and more people enjoy this powerful and popular drink. Reveal the secret of Matcha power yourself!

He just has to win
Chris Dufresne
Los Angeles Times
Meyer has a right to do whatever he wants, and we have the right to think he's 10 percent genius and 90 percent disingenuous.
But this yarn makes sense. Ohio State is a great job. Meyer is from Ohio. He is a former Buckeye grad assistant. He will win big there. It is a dream job. Will he be the last coach to say one thing and do another? Dream on.
He's ready to coach again
Teddy Greenstein
Chicago Tribune
The tweet came from a fellow sportswriter: "Urban Meyer announces retirement from family 'in order to spend more time with my job.'"
But we should give leeway to an athlete or coach. We're not in their shoes, and it's hard to know when to quit. Just ask Brett Favre, Bill Snyder, Michael Jordan or, uh, Brett Favre.
When Meyer left Florida, he cited health reasons and the desire to watch his kids compete in sports. The truer reason was burnout, but coaches don't like to use that word. It makes them appear weak, and it can follow them throughout a career (see: Vermeil, Dick).
So I do believe Meyer is ready to coach again. Or at least I believe that he believes it.
World changed, so did he

Here's a scenario: Two years ago you say you'd never move back to your hometown. But in two years so much changes. Your job. Your outlook. Your family dynamics.

Colombia to Melbourne. For beetles. Why?
The newest member of our lab, Laura Ospina Rozo, joins us from Colombia, having been lured here by our new research direction: beetles. But why? Laura is beyond passionate about beetles, learning new techniques, and questioning everything, no matter how elaborate the rabbit hole is she’s sent down! In her own words:
MV_BeetleTray “Beetles… they are so pretty and shiny. We are so fascinated by the colors and patterns, that we tend to characterize all their properties as angle dependent color changing, metal appearance… amongst others. Actually beetles’ cuticle can also manipulate other features of light, they can reflect light in near infrared, or even polarize light to the right or left depending on their wavelength. Everytime I talk to people about this I get overexcited, because it just seems magic to me that only based on the organization of a few piled up layers of chitin, so many different results of light manipulation can be obtained by different species of beetles (or even individuals of the same species?). But everytime I get this answer: “oh that is super nice, why would they do that?” So, why is it better to be pretty, in nature? In their environment and daily life? Well, that is a difficult question to answer. But hopefully, during my PhD I will be combining different techniques to have some clues on why is it useful for beetles to manipulate light. I will basically use microscopy, biophysical modelling, and finally some behavioural assays, because that is the only way to directly “ask the beetle”. It is going to be an adventure!”
See? Passionate. She’ll find amazing things. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9571956992149352}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '32039', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:BRPWEVV2HWMK6VOUPSBCWXPHIJGXT65U', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:758dd3a0-7c09-453b-99d1-badf27cf4b20>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 6, 22, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.24', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2DHFWY3CPPCLZCVQUDZUBG7SMY54JCWL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:bc3a12d8-5021-469b-bd51-17f308cd4ff1>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://devistuartfox.com/2018/07/04/colombia-to-melbourne-for-beetles-why/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:7181fe69-63e2-4d3d-8c9d-026cf5f67f47>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '274', 'url': 'https://devistuartfox.com/2018/07/04/colombia-to-melbourne-for-beetles-why/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-101-220-24.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.9724478125572205', 'original_id': 'f86374a5140c911803cb5076bf1331586432d4e61af1da20fdc0afa074ca9410'} |
The Conservative Agenda in the Trayvon Martin Case
| Tue Mar. 27, 2012 9:07 AM GMT
Has there been any public controversy in recent memory as disheartening as the Trayvon Martin case? I don't mean the killing of Martin itself, though. That's certainly disheartening, but it's hardly unique. I'm talking instead about the political reaction to it.
But why? At first glance, there's no obvious conservative agenda here. They might, in the abstract, want to defend the "Stand Your Ground" laws that have suddenly drawn the public's attention since the Martin shooting. But the shooting itself? There's no special conservative principle at stake that says neighborhood watch captains should be able to shoot anyone who looks suspicious. There's no special conservative principle at stake that says local police forces should barely even pretend to investigate the circumstances of a shooting. There's no special conservative principle at stake that says young black men shouldn't wear hoodies.
But as Dave Weigel points out today, the conservative media is now defending the shooter, George Zimmerman, with an almost messianic zeal. There's a fake photo of Trayvon Martin making the rounds, and even after it was debunked it's still making the rounds:
Unfortunately, it's not really a cottage industry at this point. More like a mammoth, smoke-belching factory. When I opened my LA Times this morning, for example, I found Jonah Goldberg staring back at me, explaining that we shouldn't really care about Trayvon Martin because:
Quite so. And that, it turns out, is the conservative principle that's actually at stake here: convincing us all that traditional racism no longer really exists (just in "pockets," says Goldberg) and that it's whites who are the real racial victims in today's America. Heh indeedy.

Can Dinamo Zagreb pull off a historic Champions League surprise?
By Kirsten Schlewitz | December 10, 2019 | Champions League
There’s no denying that Dinamo Zagreb have the ability to surprise. Manchester United fans may remember when Dinamo came to town to face the defending European Champions, only to hold the Red Devils to a goalless draw in the first round of the 1999–2000 Champions League. Arsenal went to Zagreb for their opening game in the 2015–2016 Champions League, only to see Olivier Giroud sent off after 40 minutes, and their team lose to a side that hadn’t won a UCL match in their last 15 attempts. And this season, the unexpected high-fliers from Italy, a quick and ruthless Atalanta, were destroyed by Dinamo in Zagreb, 4–0. The Croatian champions even held Shakhtar Donetsk to back-to-back draws, ensuring they remain in third—and even in contention for second and a spot in the Round of 16—should they secure a shock victory while Atalanta come away with a win in Ukraine.
This could finally be the year that, for the first time in history, Dinamo advance to the knockout stages.. Their only significant European achievement is having won the Inter-Cities Fair Cup in 1966–67, a tournament so complicated to explain that it’s best just to say that UEFA does not even consider clubs’ honors to be part of their European record. The club certainly have enough domestic honors to brag about, with 20 Croatian League titles and 15 Cup wins, as well as 9 Yugoslav titles and 8 Yugoslav Cup trophies, though it must be said that most of those came during the time of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia rather than the post-World War II federation, in which the clubs from Belgrade dominated. Considering this history, and assuming Shakhtar won’t manage to beat Atalanta, a win for Dinamo against Manchester City would be a massive triumph for the club on the international stage.
And City have nothing to play for. Shakhtar can’t reach first in Group C, no matter how hard they try. Meanwhile, Atalanta could still grab second with a win in Ukraine, while their opponents want to hold their place, which might lead to a boring draw and the chance for Dinamo to sneak into second. The question is, even if City don’t field their best side, is there any chance the hosts can take all three points?
Only if Dinamo have one more surprise left in them.
The first surprise came in that first round against Atalanta, when they played a 3-5-2 for the first time since Nenad Bjelica took over at the start of the 2018–19 season, and they executed it perfectly. The side Bjelica fielded ensured Atalanta could not gain the numerical advantage in the midfield, something the Goddesses must do to play their own brand of attacking football. Instead, Dinamo were the aggressors, surprising everyone with the way they dominated the match.
Bjelica’s stroke of brilliance was playing Mislav Oršić as a second striker rather than his usual place out wide. His constant runs behind the defense created many problems for Gian Piero Gasperini's side. Surprisingly, Oršić didn’t actually touch the ball much, and when he did, nothing particularly magical occurred. He executed very few passes, dribbles, or even duels. Everything he did, he did without the ball—except for scoring three goals from six shots that is.
Dani Olmo, on the other hand, not only didn't score or provide an assist, he only had a single shot. Yet he was absolutely dominant otherwise. He attempted 14 dribbles, succeeding on nine of them—more than Slavia Praha, Valencia and Zenit St. Petersburg average per match—creating a numerical advantage for his team in dangerous areas. Atalanta couldn't deal with him at all, which showed in the fact they chose to foul him more than any other Dinamo player.
The first match against Atalanta aside, Dinamo’s primary problem is similar to that of other teams from smaller leagues trying to advance in the Champions League (or even secure a place in the next Europa League round). Dinamo dominate their domestic league, nine points clear at the top of the table and although they’ve not managed to beat Hajduk Split, their rivals and the team currently in second, they do have double the expected goal difference. This highlights the problem. Dinamo dominate bad teams but when they face more difficult opposition, the side retreats into a defensive formation, sitting deep and attempting to adapt to their opponents in order to counter specific threats. Although they usually begin in the same 3-5-2 formation used against Atalanta, attempting to overload the midfield, this plan is no longer a surprise, and hasn’t worked as well in their other four matches.
In the fifth and most recent game, Atalanta certainly knew what Bjelica was going to throw at them, and Gasperini was ready: he turned Dinamo’s approach in the first leg against them, suffocating their midfield, a task made easier by holding midfielder Nikola Moro being unable to play due to a red card suspension. Dinamo’s determination to nullify other teams’ midfields, stems in part from the fact that it is their own central midfield that is the weakest part of the squad. Luka Ivanušec, only 21 years old, hasn’t managed to establish himself domestically in the few Croatian League games he’s played, so it’s really no surprise that he could not hold off the Italian side. Even if Moro had been present, neither have the needed characteristics of a defensive midfielder, which leaves the team vulnerable when playing against superior opposition, at least opposition properly prepared for what they’re about to face.
And yet. And yet. There are those two games against Shakhtar where Dinamo came away with a point from each, and played well to boot. They could have, and possibly should have, come away from a win from at least one of those games. In Ukraine they had the better of the chances., while at home they led a close match for well over 90 minutes before giving up two stoppage time goals in what was a truly wild finish.
Given how those matches played out though, they don’t exactly inspire confidence. Blowing late leads (and in both matches conceding buckets of xG in the last 20 minutes) will give supporters the willies no matter what the final xG tally says. No wonder the fans have more questions than answers, which means they’re likely to keep the paper bags handy when City come to town.
Those questions primarily boil down to whether Olmo and Oršić step up. While both lack certain aspects that would make them a complete player on the world stage—hence why they’re living in Zagreb—they both manage to do their job perfectly. Olmo, who recently earned his first call-up to the Spanish national team, plays between the lines, forcing Dinamo’s opponents to focus on him. When he does his job right, his teammates can seize the opportunity to threaten the goal. Meanwhile, as he was against Atalanta, Oršić is the main counterattacking threat, although he is obviously more easily subdued by better opposition. Finally, when Moro is having a good game (as was the case at Shakhtar), the holding midfielder can provide the team with an engine, dropping back and starting almost every attack and sending up long passes to both wings.
Again, though, this is something that superior teams can adapt to after facing—or just watching—this side in action. When Shakhtar came to Zagreb, they simply avoided the central part of the pitch, focusing mostly on the wings where they had a 2 v 1 advantage. This also managed to shut down Moro’s ability to send his own players the passes they needed. Bjelica adapted, changing the formation during the game and gaining back some measure of control. It seemed like Dinamo would win, making a Europa League appearance, at the very least, almost certain. However, Shakhtar’s two goals in stoppage time complicated that narrative. Was it just one of those things, a fluke to write off and move on from, or did the match take a physical toll, leaving Dinamo unable to hang with their opponents deep in added time? Or, most worrisome of all did it simply show that the side doesn’t have the necessary maturity to to close the deal in Europe’s most important competition?
While it’s possible that maturity—something the youngsters have yet to gain, and that Oršić has yet to refine, given that this is his first season in Champions League—is what stops Dinamo from beating City. But it’ll more likely come down to something that’s easily revealed by facts and figures. In the first tie, Bjelica quickly realized he needed to shift the formation into extreme-defense mode, taking on a 5-3-2 and bunkering down. No surprise, then, that Manchester City absolutely dominated possession and had 20 shots. Still, despite the ugly looking shot chart,it took more than an hour for Raheem Sterling to get his team on the board, and it was only in the last minute that City put the game to bed.
Perhaps, then, the surprise will be that City don’t give a rat’s tushie about actually scoring, and will be content to pass the ball around while Dinamo hunker down, allowing the hosts a point. Or maybe Bjelica will provide the surprise, realizing that his team needs to do more than capture a point to continue playing in Europe, given Shakhtar have the advantage due to their three goals at Zagreb. If that’s the case, his side will likely approach this game like they did Atalanta, and if so, Manchester City are likely to fight back, if for no reason but the sake of their pride, and the game could turn into an unexpected thriller. That surprise, of seeing this Dinamo team actually opening up, of going full throttle in attack because they know they’ve got nothing left to lose, would be the best surprise of all.

#50: Dawn's Big Date
Happy Canada Day! Sadly, The BSC Wiki isn't giving me many Canada references...I think Lisa and Seth Engle go to Nova Scotia or something once, and Pierre D'Amboise is almost from Canada, which sort of counts. Anyway. Since there's nothing else, let's continue on (redundant!) with another book:
Add Image
Tagline: Is Dawn's date a total disaster?
Cover: In a word...yes. Dawn looks okay but not at all California Casual, or denimy, which is how we know she's not herself. Mary Anne is rocking the soon-to-be soccer mom look, which goes nicely with Logan's ken doll blandness. Lewis, his cousin and Dawn's date, is glaring at Dawn, which seems kind of rude, and I hope it was just a glance and not how he spent the whole movie. The background looks really kind of creepy - lots of blurry faces, one that looks kind of like Dustin Hoffman, a girl over Logan's shoulder that is totally staring at the foursome, and lots of old-fashioned haircuts.
Plot!: Dawn's been writing to Lewis, Logan's cousin, and they kind of like each other. He comes to town, and Dawn gets nervous, so she decides to completely change her personality. Nobody likes it, so she changes back, they start over, and they get along okay. In subplot land, Norman Hill is fat, and the baby-sitters try to get him to drink water and not down entire bags of cookies. Which they do, by telling him to pretend that he's a toilet. Garbage in, garbage out.
Points of Interest:
• Okay, I have to make a confession: I like tofu. It's true, I do. I also eat meat (I'm eating a hamburger as I write this, so take that, Dawn), but I really enjoy tofu. I starting eating it while I was at school, in the residence dining hall, and it was in food and I didn't really know it, but I liked the texture and the taste. I guess that makes me a weirdo like Dawn.
• Having said all that, I still would not serve tofu apple nut loaf or soybean pie at a party.
• Dawn on hot dogs: yick! Okay, this is like the third time it's come up: who says yick? I don't think I've ever said it. Yuck, ick, yes. Come on, ghostwriters!
• They're planning for a New Year's Eve party. I love the whole Christmas season. I can't even snark on this one too much...okay, that's a lie, because this one is totally snarkable, but I am having a general good feeling as I'm reading it just because I love the Christmas season so much.
• Wait. The BSC is having a New Year's Eve party? No one in Stoneybrook needed a sitter for New Year's Eve? Not even their own families? What?
• Here's the Dawn we all "love": Other girls are always saying I should be a model or an actress. They say, "Oh, I wish I had your silky hair." Or, "I'd die to have your skin." (They might have good hair and skin if they didn't eat so much junk food.) Enough people have told me I'm pretty, so I should believe it.
• Kristy is tense because Mary Anne and Dawn are late to the meeting. Dawn says that she's also jealous of Dawn because of her friendship/step-sistership with Mary Anne. I wish that had been a bit more explored in the series.
• Jessi eats caramel-covered popcorn? What about being a fat ballerina?
• Dawn puts up a cardboard New Year's Baby with a banner that says 1979, because she's just that offbeat. Also: why do they have a cardboard New Year's Baby with a banner that says 1979? I doubt it's Richard's, and if it's Sharon's, that means that she moved it all across the country. Maybe it has sentimental this book, it's 1992, so Dawn would have been born in 1979(ish). Aaaaand now I've officially given too much thought to a throwaway detail.
• Would a vegetarian eat caviar? That's what Watson and Elizabeth send to Richard and Sharon.
• Stacey wore a form-fitting purple dress. To a sleepover.
• Claudia thinks that Arthur Feingold has gorgeous hair. Mallory thinks that Ben Hobart has an adorable nose.
• Dawn doesn't have much to add to the conversation, because no boy has made her go crazy. Well, except for Travis. I think Dawn should start paying more attention to this whole 'change herself for a guy' pattern.
• At midnight, the BSC decides to call boys. Claudia calls the mysterious Arthur Feingold, Stacey calls Pete Black, Kristy calls Bart, and Mary Anne calls Logan. Dawn hangs out near the finger foods with Mallory and Jessi.
• Ugh. Dawn's resolution is to be more attractive to boys. It's almost as bad as Mary Anne, who resolves to be more outgoing so that Logan will be happier. Everyone else makes resolutions based on what they want, but these two frame it in this terrible way. I hate this book.
• Reading this now, it's almost like Norman Hill is doing something dirty in his room...and then it turns out to be eating cupcakes.
• If the parents really want Norman to lose weight, why do they have all of this junk food in the house? And why do they have to go to such an extreme, cooking with kale and okra? Why can't they just eat like, lettuce and vegetables and lean meats and stuff? This doesn't make sense.
• So not only does Dawn totally change her appearance, she also starts acting like a jerk and starts dumbening herself down. Double ugh.
• Ooooh. She's blowing bubbles during the BSC meeting...she's such a badass!
• None of the BSC members like her makeover (except Mary Anne). Big surprise! These girls hate everything that isn't part of the same old box they're all in.
• Dawn decides to dress like Avril Lavigne to pick up Lewis: she wears black ballet slippers, black lace capris, a short metallic silver skirt with crinoliny stuff, a stretchy tight, black and white striped top, six bangle bracelets, feather earrings, and hoop earrings.
• Mary Anne is totally acting like Dawn's pimp, getting her a makeover, telling her to be more talkative, giving her conversation tips.
• Oh my Lord. On their double date, they go see Gone with the Wind. Just like every ordinary 13-year old wants to go see. Nothing is more romantic than the Civil War.
• There's a big spoiler in here about GWTW, too. Strange.
• OMG! Dawn realizes, after a big fight with Mary Anne, that Lewis just likes her for who she is! Makeup and sweatpant-skirts are evil!
• BUT Dawn acts like this is all Mary Anne's fault, because Mary Anne didn't bow down before the altar of Dawn and say stuff like, "On no, Dawn, you're too gorgeous to change! You're special and magical and beautiful and you should never do anything differently." Barf.
Final thought: Something that is covered in cheese sauce doesn't really sound that healthy. Food can be made of vegetables and cheese and still not be healthy, DAWN.

Wow, nothing says "great first date movie" like four hours of GWTW.

I know! When I was younger I just glossed over that but now it's such a WTF moment for me. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9730357527732848}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '54553', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GAVQIWDKPN3BWC5YFBYT5NPJUU5J7GO3', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:501d5f03-bba0-472e-a0b5-7719b275b378>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 19, 15, 5, 1), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:TTYIIVXU2UQSJFUWXKEWHBMWYTTLZMH7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:d8a54acf-a0e4-497a-9bfc-b0303be4d350>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://sheeparein.blogspot.com/2009/07/50-dawns-big-date.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d5f4094d-94a6-464b-9211-320bafefef1b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1206', 'url': 'http://sheeparein.blogspot.com/2009/07/50-dawns-big-date.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-166-25-189.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-34\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.050679922103881836', 'original_id': '7d22c278f9773a1eed21c20f520cd5631a465701220a62df6eeacc89b11088b3'} |

Q:
Ctrl-S input event in Windows console with ReadConsoleInputW
I am using ReadConsoleInputW to read Windows 10 console input. I want to be able to detect when Ctrl+S is pressed. Using the code I have, I can detect Ctrl+Q without issue, but I'm not seeing anything for Ctrl+S. Is Ctrl+S even detectable?
The below is the sequence of INPUT_RECORD I read when pressing Ctrl+S a few times, followed by Ctrl+Q.

These are just the facts, dudes. Clinical reporting with complete objectivity. Nothing about how Smirnoff Whipped Cream vodka in a Shot Gun is a terrific way to break the ice with the ladies at a party. Nothing about the magnitude of genius you'll attribute to Lionel Richie for his description of the feeling--oh what a feeling!--of dancing on the ceiling after you've eaten 4 mushroom caps and a couple of stems. Buzzed: The Straight Facts About the Most Used and Abused Drugs from Alcohol to Ecstasy cuts through any nonsense, romanticism, social stereotyping, and emotion connected to drug and alcohol use, and gives us just the scientific breakdown of what they are and what they do.
According to Buzzed authors Cynthia Kuhn, Scott Swartzwelder, and Wilkie Wilson, "The gap between scientific information and public information about drugs is growing hour by hour," due largely to the latter's being clouded by the oversimplified, inaccurate, or politically-charged reporting of drugs' benefits and risks. Marijuana, as a prime example, is heralded as the Wonder Drug by some organizations, while others deem it a dangerous destroyer of human life and worth. Buzzed seeks to circumvent these pitfalls by presenting accumulated data and research, and then stepping back to make room for readers to develop their own opinions on and qualifications of the substances.
The Third Edition of Buzzed has been revised to include information on newer trends, such as energy drinks, the date-rape drug GHB, and haute pharmaceuticals OxyContin and Ambien. All the straight buzz on Buzzed classics from alcohol to nicotine to heroin to Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit breakfast sandwiches are still inside too.
Buzzed is divided into 12 sections: Alcohol; Caffeine; Ecstasy; Hallucinogens; Herbal Drugs; Inhalants; Marijuana; Nicotine; Opiates; Sedatives; Steroids; and Stimulants. Ha! They're even listed in alphabetical order to further remove subjectivity and avoid accusations that the book has been organized from Most to Least Awesome Drug or Worst to Best Substance to Ingest Just Prior to Meeting Your Girlfriend's Parents! | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'c61c185f3d327bd1951c77e772fdbc643e2eb62a168b6ce47058fff0acf134b0'} |

Having dealt with alcoholism in my life, it scares me how up to this day people seem to be so poorly informed about this disease. One of the reasons, I think is due to its legality. There are just so many companies behind it that it wouldn’t be convenient for them to broadcast in detail all the negative aspects it can bring to your life let alone your body.
In truth, falling into an abusive behavior can be much easier than you’d think. We’re all exposed to it because how socially acceptable it is; for fun, for work, to grieve, to celebrate; it is everywhere. And though there’s nothing wrong with that, getting used to drinking more every time we have a problem, feel depressed or have anything to ‘handle’ emotionally where our tool is a drink, leads to a self-destructing spiral that can end in losing everything we hold dear.
As a disease, the only option is to get treatment, and that means going through a rehabilitation program; which will definitely help to overcome an addiction, nevertheless, the better informed we are about it, the easier it will be to spot any warning signs from our loved ones, or even ourselves.
Here are 6 essential facts on alcoholism everybody should know:
Alcohol changes your brain
One of the best traits we have as a species is our ability to adapt to new environments. We have been able to live in almost every area we’ve set our foot on. However, this amazing aspect of our existence can backfire when we train our bodies and minds to adapt to a negative environment, or in my case, chemical substances.
When we consume alcohol (or drugs) regularly, our brains assume it’s our new “environment” and start changing our connections and brain cells so that we can perform better under the influence. Just as permanent liver damage, some of the changes our bodies undergo while adapting to alcohol stay for good, and even after rehabilitation, they can cause further issues in the future.
Men and women react differently to alcohol
Because of our biological differences, alcohol is processed differently in men and women. The ratio of muscle to fat in men makes them more prompt to metabolize alcohol in a certain way that increases the chances of drinking more excessively, whereas women take longer to process the substance and have a higher risk of enduring permanent long-term damage caused by alcohol.
Of course, how we react as social individuals depends on the one hand on the type of personality we have, but on the other hand, society is constantly showing us how things become easier when we drink, how moments are more enjoyable and how not drinking at a party can actually be either because we’re lame or because we’re the elected driver, not because we rather not for any particular reason.
Alcoholism can be partially genetic
Perhaps it’s not widely known how alcoholism depends on a big proportion of our genetics. If we …
Poor appetite can be a direct symptom of an illness, or an illness could make eating painful or induce nausea. Caffeine is the most generally consumed psychoactive substance in the world ( 6 ). Before this occurs it is worse or prior to you have accomplished to protect against it from current CVS.

This supplement has shown a excellent achievement rate with weight loss but also has several serious side effects. Bottom Line: Caffeine can increase metabolism and improve fat burning in the quick term. In recent years, many tainted weight loss products have been sold in the U.S. Hidden ingredients have included stimulants, antidepressants, diuretics, seizure medicines, and laxatives.
Bottom Line: Green coffee bean extract might bring about modest weight loss, but hold in mind that several of the studies were sector sponsored.

Calcium—either from food or in weight-loss dietary supplements—probably does not help you drop weight or avert weight achieve. Herbalife solutions have nutrition labels that show warnings to guide women who are pregnant, nursing or who may perhaps turn into pregnant.
Some studies have not found a relationship among calcium intake and weight loss. Not all supplements are intended to promote weight loss a supplement may perhaps deliver worthwhile nutritional replacement for customers who don’t get enough of a distinct ingredient in their everyday meals.…

German Animal Rights Amendment Defeated
German scientists who experiment on laboratory animals can breathe a bit easier--for now. On 13 April Germany's lower house of parliament narrowly defeated an effort to amend the nation's constitution to guarantee animal welfare. Such an amendment could have led to court challenges of much of the country's lab-animal research.
The amendment, supported by the ruling coalition of Social Democrats and Greens, won a majority in the 669-member Bundestag. But it failed by 54 votes to garner the two-thirds margin necessary to alter the constitution, thanks to opposition from the center-right Christian Democrats. "It is frightening that what could have been a major disaster to science and research ... was only prevented by a single party," says Andreas Kreiter, a Bremen University neuroscientist whose brain research using macaques has been a high-profile target of animal-rights activists.
Germany already has one of Europe's toughest laws requiring researchers to treat animals humanely by providing adequate caging and food while minimizing suffering. The amendment would have tacked onto the constitution a one-sentence guarantee of animal rights with no allowances for lab animals. If the amendment had been adopted, Kreiter asserts, activists would have brought "a huge number of court trials" to halt experiments involving animals. This, he says, "would have, in effect, stopped biomedical research in Germany."
The close vote energized animal-rights leaders, who have vowed to make the Christian Democrats pay, politically, for their stance. Eisenhart von Loeper, who heads the animal-rights group Bundesverband der Tierversuchsgegner, says the battle is heating up in Germany's 16 states, half of which already have added animal-rights provisions to their own constitutions. (These have far less impact than would a national amendment.) Adds Wolfgang Apel, president of the Deutscher Tierschutzbund: "We are not giving up." | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.952281415462494}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '112955', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:27KEVJ5BAHLAPTXJO55DLJP36HAE4MRI', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:02051ddc-5f9e-43df-aeb8-10c059f1ed7b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 23, 2, 5, 19), 'WARC-IP-Address': '52.52.240.209', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:5JBQURLBYYLXQSYZXEIP74MBSSXJ5IAG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0a9e048b-90d3-4e9b-aecd-365b782e9829>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2000/04/german-animal-rights-amendment-defeated?mobile_switch=standard', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5f732bbe-7c76-420b-8461-0acb0a62e3f6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '288', 'url': 'http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2000/04/german-animal-rights-amendment-defeated?mobile_switch=standard', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-186-163-226.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-39\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.07573747634887695', 'original_id': '1d930c1b650c4163ec6366d967e3bad1e3543801b93d960a2b27108ac04c2b0b'} |
Several good friends of mine work as Chicago Public School teachers, and as the strike continues this week, I can’t help but point out it seems like Chicago’s great at coughing up money for Olympic bids, NATO summits, and TIFF slush funds, but pay a public school teacher for the extra time she’s being asked to work? There’s just no money in the budget! Times are hard!
Yet more importantly Chicago’s situation speaks to the systemic failure of American education, the bipartisan de-revolution, which is totally obvious, empirically proven, and taboo to speak of.
From Bush’s No Child Left Behind to Obama’s Race to the Top, there has been consensus that we need to introduce innovation into education, that if schools are failing, it's the fault of the educators, and that we should introduce reforms such as merit pay to make sure teachers don’t suck. Charter schools, Chicago is told, are the answer.
Now take the example of my friend Jenna (not her real name), who teaches at a Chicago public elementary school where she has 32 kids in a class. Another teacher in her school has 40 students, yet the school board is still thinking of eliminating a teaching position because the school is three kids short of its enrollment goal, at which point, a month into school, they’ll have to reorganize every classroom with even larger class sizes. Jenna is a general ed teacher who spends basically the entire day overseeing her class. There’s no librarian at this school, no music teacher, and only a part-time art teacher, a part-time social worker, and a part-time nurse. Jenna has a kid with severe allergies, to whom she’s expected to administer an epi pen even though she’s not certified for this.
“This is a huge liability,” she said. “People think this is about money, it’s not about money. We’re being asked to teach a longer school day, but it’s the quality of the school day, not the length. It’s the learning conditions. You have kids sitting around in 110 degree classrooms. We have kids with speech disabilities who see a speech pathologist fifteen minutes a week. I mean, that’s how much time they spend walking to class.”
Yet the nearby charter school has what’s called “selective enrollment,” which means if a kid misbehaves they can kick him out and off he goes to Jenna’s school. Public schools, of course, have to accept every student. Every time you hear of a charter school touting its unbelievable results, just remember this: Their primary “innovation” is that they don’t have to take the kids who can’t hack it. It’s that simple.
“If I could hand select my kids, of course it would make me look like a fantastic teacher,” said Jenna. “But that’s not public education."
So our public schools with the fewest resources, under constant attack from even the Democratic Party, are then burdened by carrying the city’s entire load of troubled, at-risk youth. The hardest kids to teach, who need the most help, who sometimes don’t even show up to their un-air conditioned school with a bowl of cereal in their stomachs, all end up in the same pool. You don’t need to be George Akerlof to understand that this kind of selection will produce fairly terrible educational results in the schools getting all of the most troubled kids.
Meanwhile, the suggested improvements range from the well-meaning to the totally insipid. Organizations like Teach for America, which attempt to get bright college grads to teach in the toughest communities, are merely stop-gap measures. Researchers keep screaming that merit pay, based on teaching evaluations that rely on test scores, is basically about as scientific as alchemy. If you have 32 kids in a classroom, as Jenna does, wouldn’t it make far more sense to spend the money you’re going to blow on the 95th standardized test of the year on—oh, I don’t know—a second goddamned teacher?
However, this phenomenon extends across the country. It turns out “competition” in education inevitably means a good-quality education for some and a race to the bottom for the rest. Wealthy parents spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on private schools and tutors. Middle class parents flee to the suburbs to get their kids into a good school district. And as soon as that happens to a neighborhood or city, public education collapses (property tax-funded education being a very obvious way to perpetuate inequality and keep a robust underclass).
I spent some time in Macon, Georgia, where my friend pointed to a public school that the city had built in an affluent, white neighborhood in hopes that affluent, white parents would send their kids there. Every parent of any means in Macon sends his child to private school, and of course, none of them saw a reason to go back to public school. Instead, now the school busses in poor black kids from the other side of the city. The Georgia public school system is such a decaying mess that the irony of dragging the children of the working poor on forty minute tours of how their peers live only to spend the rest of the day in a segregated school probably goes largely unnoticed.
Though sometimes in less stark terms, this same situation exists more or less everywhere in America. Which brings us to the story of Finland.
Finland, it turns out, has one of the best education systems in the world according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and it doesn’t have to get those results by forcing students into the insane rote memorization-style learning of Asian countries that leads some to suicide. Of course education reformers then all head to Finland to see how those crazy Fins managed this, and after all the gnashing of teeth about “teacher accountability”, there’s one obvious conclusion that American policymakers can’t even acknowledge: there are no private schools in Finland.
Pasi Sahlberg, director of the Finnish Ministry of Education's Center for International Mobility, makes this point all the time, and it’s remarkable and kind of hilarious to hear how we have taken everything the Finnish have learned and are doing the exact opposite. We are trying to pay teacher’s less and pit schools against each other in the hopes that competition will somehow lead overworked, underpaid public school teachers to perform miracles that erase America’s gaping economic inequality. And while proponents may certainly be able to point to limited pieces of data that seem to support increased testing or school vouchers, the inevitable outcome of any market system is that there are losers. In this case, the losers will be poor, troubled kids who need the most from their education, and who will end up costing taxpayers far more when they’re in prison.
Or as my friend James put it when he pointed me to Sahlberg’s work, “Basically, all he’s pointing out is the very obvious fact that Finland funds its education system like they want all their kids to be educated while Americans fund their education system like a bunch of self-interested bigots.”
So you want to do something radical about education? Federalize education spending. Give every school the same amount of money for each student whether she grows up in rural Alabama, Mount Vernon, Ohio, or the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago. Finland didn’t start out by trying to create the greatest education system in the world, they simply decided they wanted every child to have equal access, and by pursuing equality rather than excellence they inadvertently created the world’s finest school system.
Inevitably, people point out that Finland has a more homogenous population and that the scales are vastly different, which is true. Yet it doesn’t change the fact that what Chicago and many other cities are doing is creating a two-tiered system that leaves the worst-off even farther behind and then trying to pin the blame on teachers. People like Chicago’s James Warren, who have fallen into the grip of the totally vapid conventional wisdom that we must “hold teachers accountable”, would do well to look at some of Sahlberg’s additional insights that are stupidly obvious, yet are also taboo for Americans to speak of.
Sahlberg writes, “All children in Finland have, by law, access to childcare, comprehensive health care, and pre-school in their own communities.”
Whoa! Slow down there, Trotsky! That’s just crazy. How could sending a kid to school with an untreated ear infection, who hasn’t even eaten yet that day, possibly affect his learning? And so what if the single mother with three jobs still can’t afford a babysitter? That’s not the government’s responsibility!
And here’s where Sahlberg gets downright nutty. According to him the Finnish government invests 30 times more money in the professional development of teachers than it does on testing students:
“Finns have taken teachers and teaching seriously by requiring that all teachers must be well trained in academic universities. All teachers should enjoy professional autonomy and public trust in their work. As a consequence, teaching has been a popular career choice among young Finns for three decades now.”
Wait, so you mean if we don’t treat teachers like shit, it will attract smart, hard-working people to the field? Revolutionary! I thought maybe if we just ridiculed them on Fox News and blamed the entirety of the inequity of our school systems on how lazy they are, they would just shut the f*** up and finally teach malnourished kids how to overcome their desperate poverty!
Chicago’s teachers may yet prevail in this dispute, but the underlying ethos of American education “reform” will march on, a slow but steady de-revolution that is ensuring inequality, poor educational outcomes and will eventually erode the middle class as those families spend more and more money to get their kids out of failing public schools. Our political leaders’ slavish devotion to the idea that markets and competition can improve education may result in individual victories: certain low-income students may receive better educations at a charter school, but similarly not every sub-prime mortgage resulted in foreclosure. Policies that degrade public schools are leading to a systemic failure in our education system.
“We’ve been flipped off, people have screamed at us,” said Jenna of marching downtown. “They’re trying to turn the parents against us. People need to know that this is not fun for us, that this is really hard on teachers, who care about our kids. None of us came into teaching for money. It’s not about that. We’re out on the picket line at 6:30 in the morning because working conditions are so terrible. You have 30-40 unhealthy and emotionally unstable kids in a classroom with no help and budgets getting cut all the time, and what do you think is going to happen? What kind of test-evaluated superteacher isn’t going to keep these kids from getting left behind?” | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '21', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9669456481933594}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '84880', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:4J5RQLINSEWZM3PCXNEFY32GWPN3XSFW', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:7730362d-96fb-4d42-984b-2a523f264b5b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 2, 1, 8, 38), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.62.6.90', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MPMAXHM7CECZS42EG23QD2MKL5XR2MEO', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:b47765ab-f308-4777-975d-926a1c98bc27>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.redeyechicago.com/news/markley/redeye-how-chicagos-teacher-strike-explains-the-education-derevolution-20120911,0,5720944.story', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:2c07c904-bbf0-4feb-a7b5-df5d90879011>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1792', 'url': 'http://www.redeyechicago.com/news/markley/redeye-how-chicagos-teacher-strike-explains-the-education-derevolution-20120911,0,5720944.story', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02151566743850708', 'original_id': 'c3d65f6a5a159c6c369e2cff804cd794e5b7d97d10ec368d0a65730e5f75b677'} |

Grace is a mess of incomplete projects. I mostly blame the contractor who did the renovation before us for laziness (ha), though I guess I should also be better about seeing all of these as opportunities.
The recent success is finally fixing the Wi-Fi coverage in the library. The contractor didn't deign to put in conduit in the walls... or any kind of reasonable cabling, either. There is, at least, a wallplate in every room with a phone jack and coax, but all of the cabling is cat3, stapled to various beams along the way. Most of it is only connected at one end, too, with the other end dangling loosely in the attic or wall cavity, so getting any kind of aesthetically appealing wired connection between rooms has been challenging.
The DSL link is terminated downstairs, at a wall socket with two other cat3 cables present. I'd earlier worked out that one of those went up to the attic, and I repurposed a ceiling mounted smoke alarm's remodeling box to connect a Unifi AP. That mostly covers the top floor, and another AP directly connected near the DSL model handles the basement, but the signal at the main floor at the other end of the house is too weak to be able to video-conference from the couches in the library, which is something of a pity, given how beautiful that room is and my love for showing it off.
There's an enclosed crawlspace below the library which I've long had in mind as a machine room (despite an unhealthy amount of dust left over from construction), but I hadn't found a cabled path to it, despite one clearly visible cat3 cable. Two cable tracers and one unattractive patch cable later, it's finally wired up, with a third Unifi perched on a beam below the library (there is a wall plate in the library, presumably with a cat3 connection, but I have no idea where it connects to, and we bolted bookcases onto that wall anyway).
Together with a Unifi PoE switch and a Unifi Security Gateway, Grace is now an all-Unifi network which I manage by clicking around a UI on a controller that I don't even host and I just don't recognize myself any more. Somewhat to my surprise, all of the links are running cleanly at 1GbE. Modern ethernet hardware is pretty amazing.
After some prompting, we bought into the whole Sonos thing for sound. Even the Play:1s have great audio quality, but after investing in a bunch of them and a Playbar, we discovered that they don't work as simple wireless speakers. In particular, Eden wants to play audiobooks and movie soundtracks through them, and... can't. They just don't work that way. Which is amazing, but there you go. As a last ditch effort before investing in yet another piece of Sonos kit that was sufficiently expensive to offer external input to a standalone Bluetooth audio receiver (I can't even), I tried airsonos, which fakes up a bridge between AirPlay and Sonos hardware, and it sort of works. It only really solves half the problem, though, since it adds close to 10 seconds of audio latency, which means audiobooks are fine, but movies are not. I have some small hopes of this being solved for me, but since I also lack a host to run airsonos permanently, it's moot for the moment.
There's yet more ecosystems to kvetch about, but I'm realizing that about 90% of my complaints are about the wiring in the house. I was always politely bemused by all the earnest threads about choice of conduit when renovating or building. Now I finally understand. Argh.

Æ Adonijah Declared a Usurper
Adonijah Declared a Usurper
Segment of Chapter 6
King Solomon
The Message of the Covenant
And they made Solomon king, 1 Kings 1:43.
1 Kings 1:43 "And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah,
Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king."
Henry Davenport Northrop; Charming Bible Stories (J.H. Moore Company, 1893)
Adonijah Declared a Usurper
While traditional interpretation holds that Adonijah was an upstart or usurper, scripture never actually supports that view. In fact, it is impossible that Solomon could have been the promised successor in 1 Chronicles 17:11 or 2 Samuel 7:12 for a plethora of reasons the most obvious of which is that David, Bathsheba and Nathan actually installed Solomon and it was obviously no act of God.
1 Chronicles 17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. (JPS) (Emphasis added)
2 Samuel 7:12 When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. (JPS) (Emphasis added)
On that note, this material should clearly be reexamined to see if the proponents of the conventional view have overlooked something. In 1 Kings 1, more of this story is imparted and scripture reveals a few more particulars of the story of Adonijah and Solomon’s rise to the throne.
1 Kings 1:9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants; 10 but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. (JPS) (Emphasis added)
1 Kings 1:11 Then Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying: 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? 12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.' (JPS) (Emphasis added)
Considering the previous passages carefully, it is obvious that due to his alarm at not being invited to Adonijah's party Nathan contrives a stratagem to install Solomon on the throne. Since Solomon was not invited either, Nathan conspires with Bathsheba. To put it another way, this is obviously a lie and it is evident that Nathan is cooking up an artless scheme here. Nearly anybody should see through this unsophisticated ruse immediately.
Notice that Nathan tells Bathsheba that she needs to talk to King David in order to preserve her life and that of her son and moreover notice that Nathan will come in and confirm her words. This is a very clever tactic for confirming a lie. It is evident that the first Bathsheba ever heard of this was from Nathan and certain that the first King David heard of it was from Bathsheba.
Micah 3:5 This is what the Lord says: "As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them they proclaim 'peace'; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him." (NIV) (Emphasis added)
As a pertinent side note, consider that this is written in the Bible, the infallible word of God. While everything in the Bible must necessarily be true, it is a conspicuous fact that this segment records the dialog of the characters; therefore, their lies are faithfully recorded. In faithfully quoting the lying words of the characters - and notice that there are quotation marks - the Bible remains absolutely true.
Micah 3:5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that cry: 'Peace', when their teeth have any thing to bite; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him: (JPS)
(Emphasis added)
The meaning of these types of passages may be somewhat different than that which is traditionally ascribed to them. Notice that in the JPS translation, the word “Peace” is capitalized and recall that the name Solomon means peace. Most word-for-word translations render the word Peace that appears in this passage capitalized as one would treat a proper name. There really would be no reason to capitalize the plain word peace. Recall that the name Solomon means peace.
It's cohesive!
The reader's appropriate response to this material:
Acts 17:11 And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.

Differential role of CD18 integrins in mediating lung neutrophil sequestration and increased microvascular permeability induced by Escherichia coli in mice.
The in vivo contributions of CD18 integrin-dependent and -independent mechanisms in mediating the increases in lung neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte; PMN) sequestration and microvascular permeability are not well understood. We determined the time course of these responses to Gram-negative sepsis in the mouse lung and addressed the specific contributions of CD18 integrins and ICAM-1. PMN sequestration in the lung was assessed by morphometric analysis, and transalveolar PMN migration was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage. Lung tissue PMN number increased by 6-fold within 1 h after i.p. Escherichia coli challenge; this value peaked at 3 h (7-fold above control) and decreased at 12 h (3.5-fold above control). PMN migration into the airspace was delayed; the value peaked at 6 h and remained elevated up to 12 h. Saturating concentrations of anti-CD18 and anti-ICAM-1 mAbs reduced lung tissue PMN sequestration and migration; however, peak responses at 3 and 6 h were inhibited by 40%, indicating that only a small component of PMN sequestration and migration was CD18 dependent at these times. In contrast to the time-dependent decreased role of CD18 integrins in mediating PMN sequestration and migration, CD18 and ICAM-1 blockade prevented the increase in lung microvascular permeability and edema formation at all times after E. coli challenge. Thus, Gram-negative sepsis engages CD18/ICAM-1-independent mechanisms capable of the time-dependent amplification of lung PMN sequestration and migration. The increased pulmonary microvascular permeability induced by E. coli is solely the result of engagement of CD18 integrins even when PMN accumulation and migration responses are significantly CD18 independent. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b6ba541e447bb8621580e5c200914c9d53015eb92f1ec799cf74637f8490242f'} |
FIFA World Cup Final Breaks Records for TV Broadcasters
Top TV viewing figures for the final phase of the FIFA World Cup 2014
As Philipp Lahm raised the FIFA World Cup trophy in the Maracana on Sunday night, TV broadcasters around the world joined in celebrating an outstanding set of results from the FIFA World Cup 2014.
The group matches had already set new TV records in a number of markets, from Belgium to the US. Sales of television advertising and subscriptions have also benefitted. And records continued to tumble on screen as well as on the pitch throughout the knock out stages, with new records set for the most-watched TV programme in Germany, Belgium and other countries.
Broadcasters have also been quick to grasp the opportunities provided by online distribution. Germany’s extraordinary semi-final victory over Brazil was watched online by a record 8.4 million fans across Europe and the Middle East including 2.35 million visitors on mobile platforms operated by broadcasters. And viewer engagement was up, with the same match generating a new record for any sports event of over 35m tweets.
The fully audited global figures for Sunday’s match will not be known for some time but broadcasters are already optimistic that the numbers may approach or even surpass the 909 million who watched the Spain v Netherlands final in 2010.
Top TV viewing figures for the final phase of the FIFA World Cup 2014:
- Germany: an all-time-high audience of 41.89 million viewers tuned in to watch their national team win the World Cup (86.3% share). An online survey conducted on early Sunday evening suggested that an additional 12 million Germans cheered the game in a public space. Belgium: the TV viewing record set during the match against South Korea was broken during the Red Devils’ win over the US team. It became the most watched football match in the history of Belgian television with 5.5 million viewers (85% TV audience).
- The Netherlands: the semi-final against Argentina has set a new record of 12.4 million viewers including out-of-home viewing (89.3% share). The game triggered 158,192 tweets.
- France: the 0-1 win for Germany reached an audience of 16.9 million people (72.1% share). The game scored more than one million related tweets.
- Sweden: the final game was the most viewed match of the World Cup 2014 with 2.58 million viewers (73.84% share)
- UK: a peak TV audience of 21 million tuned in for the World Cup final.
- Poland: the final achieved the biggest Polish TV audience since 2012: 10.56 million (63.43% share).
- Portugal: the match against the US attracted 3.6 million viewers (75.4% share). It was the second most viewed broadcast in Portugal since March 2012.
- Hungary: the final attracted 1.86 million Hungarians to their TV screens (47.8% share).
- Austria: whereas Brazil’s defeat by Germany was watched by 1.36 million viewers (52% audience share), the final game reached a record audience of 1.81 million viewers (55.3% making it the highest rated football in Austria since the Euro 2008.
- Ireland: the final scored a TV audience of 857,000 people (55.73% share) and the total world cup triggered 2.5 million online streams. Looking specifically at adults 15-34, the final also ranks as the number one programme this year to-date across all channels.
- Italy: the Uruguay game reached a total of 19.19 million viewers (81.5% share).
- Romania: the highest TV audience share for this World Cup was reported for the final match: 43%.
- The US: Netherlands vs. Argentina match ranks as the highest-rated and most-viewed World Cup semi-final match ever on any U.S. network with 6.8 million viewers.
- Argentina: 63.7% of the Argentinian TV audience watched their national team being defeated by Germany in the finals.

Jacobs’ Office Responsible for 50% of County Surplus | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Says proud of role Clerk’s office plays to support critical services while keeping down taxes
Erie County, NY – Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs reported today that his office accounted for 50% of the overall county surplus. Jacobs’ is referring to the County Comptroller’s report released yesterday which shows an overall budget surplus of $4.27 Million, and “roughly 50% of the county’s entire operating surplus,” came from the County Clerk said the Erie County Comptroller in his budget close-out report.
“We were proud to report our over $2 million dollar surplus several months ago but the fact that we contributed such a large percentage to the County’s overall surplus is quite significant,” said Jacobs. The Clerk’s Office represents only 4% of the County’s work force but is responsible for one-half of the 2012 County’s surplus.
“We believe that reforms we have implemented in the Clerk’s Office are a major reason for this surplus,” said Jacobs. When Jacobs came into office he inherited major problems in the Land Records Division with months of unopened mail, un-deposited checks and unreturned legal documents. Jacobs created a “Re-Engineering Working Group” which came up with nearly 30 reforms to improve efficiency and customer service.
“We will continue to make this office a model of government operations,” added County Clerk Jacobs. “Efficiencies that drive revenue ultimately benefit the taxpayer.” | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'ec701e23d33bd02a423bc288b1235c85db860531b1998e6241ea2445d1ed9a80'} |
Usefulness of questionnaires on advance directives in haemodialysis units.
As renal replacement therapy has become universal practice in medicine, there is a need to consider whether this treatment is suitable for elderly people. These patients have high comorbidity and may require dialysis withdrawal in certain clinical circumstances. Advance directives (ADs) drawn up by patients facilitate treatment-related decisions if they lose cognitive capacity. Questionnaires dealing with possible extreme clinical circumstances can thus help clinicians and relatives reach pertinent decisions in such cases. We studied the usefulness of questionnaires on ADs in patients who started periodic haemodialysis over a period of 10 years. Telephone interviews were conducted to assess satisfaction level among relatives/representatives of deceased patients who had been advised to limit therapeutic efforts in certain clinical situations. The questionnaire was assessed using a six-factor degree of satisfaction. Four hundred and forty-three questionnaires were distributed over a period of 10 years. A total of 41.3% of patients stated that they wished to limit therapeutic efforts in the serious clinical situations presented; 37.9% refused to complete the questionnaire; 14.7% expressed their wishes without any written confirmation; and 6.1% expressed their wish to continue on dialysis in all situations. Two hundred and twenty-four patients had died by the study end date. The cause of death in 20.2% was scheduled dialysis withdrawal. Representatives reported an extremely high degree of satisfaction with the questionnaire (94.7%). Younger people, however, were more reluctant to consider and answer questionnaires on ADs. Questionnaires on ADs are a useful tool in daily nephrology practice and should be distributed to those patients willing to consider the limitation of therapeutic efforts in extreme clinical circumstances. In general terms, these questionnaires should be given to all elderly patients. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9b39b18e7db284cf1bc5289d4c56c50d56c05c80f03b0224787d44a84793f932'} |
