BkiUdtI5qoYDgPtUrKKl | Tamil Nadu governor approves Bill providing 7.5% reservation to govt school students in UG medical courses
The Opposition, including the DMK party, had targeted Governor Banwarilal Purohit and the ruling AIADMK government for 'delay' in clearing the bill

Chennai: Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit has assented to a bill envisaging 7.5 percent reservation to government school students who have cleared the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) in admission to undergraduate medical courses.
A day after the state government took the executive route to implement the quota regime from the current 2020-21 academic year itself and issued a government order to facilitate it, the Raj Bhavan said "this is to inform the people of Tamil Nadu that the honourable Governor has given his assent to the bill."
The governor sought legal opinion from the Solicitor General of India (SGI) on 26 September and the opinion was received on 29 October, the release said. "As soon as the opinion was received, honourable Governor has given assent to the Bill," the statement said.
Amid accusations that Purohit delayed clearing the quota bill, the Raj Bhavan, pointing out that the bill was approved soon after the receipt of legal opinion — that the Bill is in sync with Constitution — assumes significance.
Chief Minister K Palaniswami said efforts were afoot to implement the reservation from the current year.
DMK president MK Stalin claimed Purohit gave his assent to the quota bill as he was left with no other choice and thanked him for giving his nod. His party's protest and the hope expressed by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court were behind Purohit's "change of heart."
In a twitter post, Stalin said the approval came after 45 days and when the time for medical counselling was nearing and the governor had to approve in view of such factors.
Hearing a batch of public interest litigation petitions, a division bench had on Thursday hoped that the Governor would take a decision at the earliest. BJP's Khushbu Sundar said, "We deliver when we promise."
PMK chief S Ramadoss said Purohit's consent was the victory of the people. The Raj Bhavan said Purohit sought to know if the proposed quota was in accordance with the Constitution and compatible with Articles 14 (Equality) and 15 (prohibition of discrimination).
The SGI, Tushar Mehta, in his opinion said 'intelligible differentia' would enable reservation for socially and educationally backward class, an affirmative action.
The bill is in "consonance with the Constitution of India," Mehta noted adding it is however subject to judicial review and also to other constitutional principles like those related to the upper limit to reserved seats.
The Tamil Nadu Admission to Undergraduate Courses in Medicine, Dentistry, Indian Medicine and Homeopathy on preferential basis to the students of Government Schools Bill 2020, was passed on 15 September in the Assembly and sent to Purohit for his approval.
The ruling AIADMK sought expeditious clearance of the bill since the quota should be implemented from the current year and a group of ministers too had called on Purohit at the Raj Bhavan recently.
Finally, the government issued an order on Thursday, pending assent of the Governor for the bill, which showed the government's intention to ensure its implementation from the current academic year.
The DMK had targeted the Governor for 'delay' in clearing the bill and had days ago held a massive protest. It had also hit out at the AIADMK regime for not pressuring Purohit to get the bill cleared.
Tamil Nadu Assembly elections are due during April-May 2021.
BJP Tamil Nadu unit chief L Murugan had said Purohit should clear the bill immediately. The "time taken by him (to examine it) is enough,"
Murugan had said.
The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi too had alleged the BJP-led Centre was not interested in providing reservation to students from poor background.

BkiUbCo5qWTD6kJ7PqgI | Parks › Utah › Arches › History & Culture
Arches is a park of contradictions. Like pieces of fine pottery, the arches stand in fragile impermanence amid this rugged landscape. Bearing the creative imprint of time and the elements, they will, however, eventually surrender to the persuasive forces of gravity, ice and water.
Born of seeping salt, the formation of the Arches began 300 million years ago in the Pennsylvanian Period, when saltwater from a nearby ocean flooded the area. The water then evaporated, leaving a deposit of salt. Repeated floodings and evaporations left deposits of salt that, over many millions of years, became thousands of feet thick. This layer of salt was then covered with debris that washed over it from nearby higher elevations.
Over time, the debris was compressed into rock, in some places more than a mile thick. The enormous weight of this rock caused the salt, which is somewhat elastic, to be pushed away. In the process, domes, cavities, faults and anticlines (upfolds of the earth with cores of salt) were created. By the late Jurassic Period, about 135 million years ago, most of the movement of the salt had ceased. Eons passed as sedimentary deposits from nearby highlands continued to accumulate, forming thousands of additional feet of rock on top of the salt.
At some point between 60 million and 10 million years ago, the deposit of rock slowed and erosion began in earnest. It is estimated that during the last 10 million years, erosion has stripped away more than 5,000 vertical feet of rock. This process opened cracks in anticlines beneath the rock that were, in turn, dissolved by groundwater. With a weakened support system, the salt valleys began to collapse, setting the stage for the formation of the arches.
Entrada Sandstone is the basic material of the arches. The Entrada is a blend of numerous textures and densities fused together with varying amounts of natural calcium carbonate cement. The varying cement content is responsible for differential erosion—some areas resist erosion, while others do not—and results in fins, arches and sculpted rock.
Arches are often created from narrow sandstone walls called "fins," which have been isolated as a result of cracks in the earth and subsequent erosion. Water seeps into cracks in these fins, then freezes and expands, thus causing chunks of rock to fall off. The fin wall is narrower in some places than in others. Gravity and erosion help complete the formation of an arch.
Human History
Several individuals, over the course of decades, had a hand in establishing Arches as a national park. In the 1920s, prospector Alexander Ringhoffer traveled through the area and was so impressed with its wild beauty that he convinced Frank Wadleigh to come and see for himself. Wadleigh, the passenger traffic manager for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, was moved to contact Stephen T. Mather, the first director of the National Park Service (NPS). Mather then pushed for the creation of a national monument. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover signed an executive order that established Arches as a national monument.
The monument's size was diminished by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and then enlarged by President Lyndon Johnson to 114 square miles. In 1971, President Richard Nixon signed into law an act of Congress designating Arches as a national park. In 1998, the park's area was expanded by 3,140 acres to include Lost Spring Canyon, bringing the total to 119 square miles.
The Arches area, once frequented by hunting parties from the Fremont and ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) peoples, has seen little permanent human habitation. One noteworthy exception is John Wesley Wolfe, a disabled Civil War veteran. Wolfe and his son, Fred, built Wolfe Ranch in 1898. Why they came to this place is unknown, but they did manage to maintain a small cattle operation for about 20 years. A weathered log cabin, a root cellar, a corral and a glimpse of the past are all that remain.
Desert Solitaire records one man's more recent experiences at Arches. The author, the late Edward Abbey, resided here during the 1950s while employed as a park ranger. A writer who described himself as "a man with the bark still on," Abbey gives a vivid account of how the park changed from season to season and brings to light subtleties of weather, rock formations and plant life that are unique to Arches National Park. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfFfxK7kjXLSrHPDv | Q: Operating system-loader My question is how operating system loads
User space application to RAM. I know how
Bootloader works when we first turn computer on Bios simply reads 512 kb data till aa55 bootloader signature and loads bootloader to ram. Do regular userspace programms are handled in this way? If yes how? Because bootloader activated by bios and how user space program handled by operating system? More specifacally how execv() load program to RAM and start execution point for user space ?
Thanks in advance
A: Userspace programs are not handled like the bios, the Kernel will be involved in running a userspace program.
In general:
When a program is executed in shell, the shell will invoke system calls to create a new task in a new address space, read in the executable binary, and begin executing it.
To understand the details, you need to understand:
*
*The elf format. Of course there are also other formats which can be used in Linux, elf is just the most common one, and a good starting point. Understanding elf will help you understand how the kernel loads the executable binary into memory precisely.
*Linux process management; this will help you to understand how a program starts to run.
*Reading the related codes in the kernel. fs/exec.c will be of great help.
A: The procedure varies among operating systems. Some systems have a background command interpreter that exists through the life of a process and within the process itself. When a program is run, the command interpreter stays in the background (in protected from user mode access). When the program completes, the command interpreter comes to the foreground and can run another program in the same process.
In the Eunuchs-world, the command interpreter is just a user-mode program. Whenever it runs a program it kicks off another process.
Both of these types of systems use a loader to configure the process address space for running a program. The executable file is a set of instructions that define how to lay out the address space,
This is significantly different from a bootloader. A bootloader blindly loads a block of stored data into memory. A program loader contains complex instructions for laying out a process address space that include handling shared libraries and doing address fixups.

BkiUbZfxaKPQoqJ9_8aU | An empty nest isn't necessarily a sad one!
I officially have an empty nest, and not for the first time. With my daughters now in third and fourth year at Glasgow University, and Daughter No 1 having worked abroad before going to university, this is the fifth time I've done 'the trip'. Believe me, it gets easier every time. It's less a time for sadness and more of a time for celebration.
With term starting this week, families have been criss-crossing the country with cars full of clothes and bedding, laptops and chargers, and half of the contents of the kitchen. Students have been delivered to halls and flats ranging in style and cleanliness from 'ghastly' to 'not too bad'.
The contents of your car, plus the spoils of an expensive trip to the supermarket, will have been dumped into a cinder-walled cell boasting hose-clean surfaces and strict instructions about the unauthorised use of electric blankets, candles and Blu-tac.
Then, depending on whether any other flat-mates have already moved in, you will either be 'allowed' to unpack, help make the bed and fill the fridge, or you'll be summarily dispensed with. There might be tears during your drive back north. You might wonder when the first texts or phone calls will come – and how regular they will be during this first frantic friend-making term. It might also cross your mind to wonder how much studying will be done. And then you'll get home, strip their bed and hoover their bedroom floor, and life will settle into a new, different routine.
I have just said goodbye in this manner, or something approximating it, for the fifth time. And I am congratulating myself that the girls are happy and settled, and that in spite of Mr Marr's absence at work in Edinburgh, I am too.
Our first family farewell was traumatic, but I had an excuse – our 17-year-old was heading much further than a three hour drive down the A9; she was heading for a year-long teaching job in Central America. We had no idea when we would be able to speak to her again, and I sniffed through several box of tissues until we knew she had arrived safely, was happy, and loved her job.
And since that first separation I have been fine. The girls have been deposited and settled in with few tears or trauma. In fact, as much as I love them, children leaving home is a moment to celebrate, and not an excuse to mourn, or to ponder what my new purpose in life might be.
As parents our job is to bring up our children to become self-reliant, free-thinking individuals, who can survive, no, thrive, without us. By the time they reach 18 they should be flexing their independence muscles and itching to get out there and find their own paths. This is their time to learn or earn (preferably both), to make their own choices and relationships, and to work out, beyond parental influence, what is important in their lives.
Letting go the first time is hard – there will be an adolescent-shaped hole in your life which can take time to fill over. For weeks you'll listen out for them; you might absent-mindedly still cook for them too. It can be difficult to accept that this human, who until so recently relied on you for everything – nourishment, warmth, guidance and entertainment – is now managing without you. But congratulate yourself and enjoy the freedom.
With Facebook messenger groups, phone calls, Skype calls and occasional lunches when I'm in Glasgow, I don't miss my girls at all. That's not strictly true – I miss the physicality of them – their hugs, the chats over cups of tea, and their music seeping through the walls. But I know they are happy, and I know this is the natural order of things. Job done – at least for now.
I am still needed, of course – as students they're not yet off the payroll, and there are still things I can apparently help with – recipes are the main thing, and my proof-reading skills are occasionally called upon too.
I was congratulating myself this morning on having survived another start-of-term transition without shedding a single tear, but I hadn't banked on the note. Shaking out a t-shirt my eldest had left in my bedroom, her note fell out. It didn't say much, but it said everything. It said thank-you for our summer together, and that she loves me.

BkiUbCfxaKPQoqJ9_oQk | What is massage therapy, and what are the types of massage?
What are side effects and risks of massage therapy?
What are some other points to consider about massage therapy as complementary and alternative medicine?
Massage therapy has a long history in cultures around the world. Today, people use many different types of massage therapy for a variety of health-related purposes. In the United States, massage therapy is often considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), although it does have some conventional uses. This fact sheet provides a general overview of massage therapy and suggests sources for additional information.
Scientific evidence on massage therapy is limited. Scientists are not yet certain what changes occur in the body during massage, whether they influence health, and, if so, how. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is sponsoring studies to answer these questions and identify the purposes for which massage may be most helpful.
Massage therapy dates back thousands of years. References to massage appear in writings from ancient China, Japan, India, Arabic nations, Egypt, Greece (Hippocrates defined medicine as "the art of rubbing"), and Rome.
The term "massage therapy" encompasses many different techniques (see box for examples). In general, therapists press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. They most often use their hands and fingers, but may use their forearms, elbows, or feet.
Massage therapists work in a variety of settings, including private offices, hospitals, nursing homes, studios, and sport and fitness facilities. Some also travel to patients' homes or workplaces. They usually try to provide a calm, soothing environment.
Although scientific research on massage therapy -- whether it works and, if so, how -- is limited, there is evidence that massage may benefit some patients. Conclusions generally cannot yet be drawn about its effectiveness for specific health conditions.
There are numerous theories about how massage therapy may affect the body. For example, the "gate control theory" suggests that massage may provide stimulation that helps to block pain signals sent to the brain. Other theories suggest that massage might stimulate the release of certain chemicals in the body, such as serotonin or endorphins, or cause beneficial mechanical changes in the body. However, additional studies are needed to test the various theories.
Massage therapy appears to have few serious risks - if it is performed by a properly trained therapist and if appropriate cautions are followed. The number of serious injuries reported is very small. Side effects of massage therapy may include temporary pain or discomfort, bruising, swelling, and a sensitivity or allergy to massage oils.
There are approximately 1,500 massage therapy schools and training programs in the United States. In addition to hands-on practice of massage techniques, students generally learn about the body and how it works, business practices, and ethics. Massage training programs generally are approved by a state board. Some may also be accredited by an independent agency, such as the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA).
As of 2010, 43 states and the District of Columbia had laws regulating massage therapy. In some states, regulation is by town ordinance.
The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork certifies practitioners who pass a national examination. Increasingly, states that license massage therapists require them to have a minimum of 500 hours of training at an accredited institution, pass a national exam, meet specific continuing education requirements, and carry malpractice insurance.
In addition to massage therapists, health care providers such as chiropractors and physical therapists may have training in massage.
Do not use massage therapy to replace your regular medical care or as a reason to postpone seeing a health care provider about a medical problem.
If you have a medical condition and are unsure whether massage therapy would be appropriate for you, discuss your concerns with your health care provider. Your health care provider may also be able to help you select a massage therapist. You might also look for published research articles on massage therapy for your condition.
Before deciding to begin massage therapy, ask about the therapist's training, experience, and credentials. Also ask about the number of treatments that might be needed, the cost, and insurance coverage.
If a massage therapist suggests using other CAM practices (for example, herbs or other supplements, or a special diet), discuss it first with your regular health care provider.
Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will ensure coordinated and safe care. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Court Extends Deadline for Patient Representative Mandate for SNF Interdisciplinary Teams
For skilled-nursing facility leaders, compliance officers, case managers
Patricia Blaisdell
Vice President, Policy
An Alameda County Superior Court judge has issued an amended judgment in CANHR v. Angell, the 2016 court decision that established a requirement to include a designated patient representative for incapacitated skilled-nursing facility (SNF) residents without decision-makers in interdisciplinary team meetings convened to address care decisions
The amended judgment delays the deadline for implementation by 12 months to July 28, 2022.
The decision allows SNFs to continue to admit and to provide care to these vulnerable residents while a new system of patient representation is developed. CHA, in collaboration with the California Association of Health Facilities, worked with the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Aging (CDA) to support the creation of the Office of the Patient Representative (OPR) within CDA to assist SNFs in identifying a patient representative when necessary. We estimate it will take up to 12 months to establish the OPR, which was approved in the 2021-22 state budget.
During the interim, SNFs are reminded to continue to pursue and document their efforts to identify a patient representative and to complete required notification to the long-term care ombudsman. Hospital case managers may encounter increased difficulty securing SNF placement for unrepresented patients lacking capacity and are encouraged to collaborate with partner SNFs to support efforts to identify a patient representative.

Douglas County to utilize plow trucks to move crashes off major roads
The two-lane section of I-25 through Douglas County between Caste Rock and Monument is a growing problem. Traffic continues to get worse and it can be dangerous when crashes occur, yet there has been an ongoing effort to get those crashes out of traffic lanes and onto the shoulder.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. -- Traffic continues to get worse and it can be dangerous when crashes occur, yet there has been an ongoing effort to get those crashes out of traffic lanes and onto the shoulder.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is implementing a new plan, part of the 'quick clearance' initiative by training plow drivers to push crashed cars out of the way of traffic.
"It keeps us safer," said Sergeant Chris Washburn. "It also prevents secondary accidents."
Drivers from Douglas County Public Works Operations have been going through training at the Emergency Vehicle Operations Center near Chatfield Reservoir.
The slab of concrete used for training is named after Trooper Jaimie Jursevics and Trooper Cody Donahue. Both were killed while investigating crashes on I-25.
"It's a shame that those officers had to lose their lives," said plow driver Jeff Woods. "It could have been prevented by something like this, simply getting cars off the road."
"We can't get run over if we're not standing in the road investigating crashes," said Sgt. Washburn.
That's where the training comes in.
"There's nothing like pushing something with something bigger," said plow driver Mike Zapfe. "It's pretty easy. The truck does all the work."
Although entertaining, during an emergency, the drivers will take on the serious role of moving crashes out of the way of traffic.
"The more workers that are out on the highways that are out conducting their business on the highways that have traffic incident management training, the better," said Sgt. Washburn.
Police squad cars, tow trucks and CDOT courtesy trucks are also equipped to push crashed vehicles off the road. The operation is perfectly legal.
"They're (the vehicles) already damaged and there's no liability to us if we cause some additional damage," said Sgt. Washburn.

BkiUfC85qhLBvqGZ26yT | April 2008 Monthly Forecast
Posted 28 March 2008
A report from the Secretary-General on small arms is likely to be submitted to the Council in April. At press time, the incoming president, South Africa, was tentatively planning a debate on small arms on 25 April. It is possible that regional organisations will be invited to participate in addition to Council members. The format however remains subject to change depending on consultations with the Council and the level of interest in participation.
For in-depth background please see our June 2006 Profile on Small Arms report.
In 2006 the Council failed to reach agreement on an Argentinean initiative for a resolution to enhance Council input to the debate on small arms. Prior to that, the Council had addressed the issue of small arms only in presidential statements and in the limited context of illicit trafficking. It had reminded member states to fully implement the Programme of Action (adopted in 2001) to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all aspects. The Secretary-General had reported to the Council on twelve specific recommendations on ways the Council could contribute to dealing with the question of illicit trade in small arms.
The Argentinean draft sought to focus on the wider issue that uncontrolled spread of small arms compromises the effectiveness of the Council's efforts to promote international peace and security and in itself constitutes a threat to peace. There were also ideas to request member states to adopt measures, in particular to ensure the observance of arms embargoes. Although the draft resolution largely drew upon consensus language from previous Council statements and had the strong support of several Council members including France and the UK with agreement from China and Russia, the Council could not agree—mainly because of US opposition. As a result of the stalemate over the draft resolution, the cycle of preparing regular Secretary-General's reports on small arms was interrupted as the mandate for these reports came from the successive presidential statements.
In March 2007, South Africa, concerned about the particular problems for African countries as a result of the proliferation of small arms on the continent, took the lead on this issue. A draft presidential statement requesting the Secretary-General to produce regular reports on small arms was proposed. (Please see our 13 April 2007 Update Report on small arms for more details). After weeks of efforts, the Council on 29 June 2007 adopted a presidential statement. It seems that the main difficulty was the US reluctance to support regular reporting by the Secretary-General on the issue of small arms. In the statement, the Council:
noted with concern that the accumulation and illicit manufacture, trade and circulation of small arms contributed to the prolongation and increase in intensity of armed conflicts and undermined the sustainability of peace (previously agreed language);
reaffirmed the right to individual or collective self-defence; and
requested a Secretary-General's report on a biennial basis starting in 2008.
In this statement, the Council invited the Secretary-General to report on the issue of small arms in general—although stressing also the need to continue to provide recommendations and observations on implementation of the Programme of Action. It remains to be seen whether the Secretary-General will take up this opening for a wider scope of the issue, as opposed to the more limited context of illicit trade in small arms and light weapons.
It seems that the option is there for more analytical reporting, perhaps exploring new areas related to the problem of small arms, such as the manufacture and trade of ammunitions, and the link between small arms, security, development and human rights.
A challenge for the Council will be for South Africa to frame the debate in such a way that it can draw interest and be constructive. It appears that the main focus may be on how to best take into account the problem of small arms when the Council deals with specific issues (such as arms embargoes, security sector reform, disarmament demobilisation and reintegration programmes, etc.) rather than expanding the discussions to potentially controversial issues, such as civilian possession of small arms.
A presidential statement is a possibility.
Security Council Report will publish an Update Report with more insights in April.

BkiUdOM25V5ik2zA0Ral | Q: Range of function $f(x) = x-\sqrt{(1-x^2 )}$
How can i find range of this function?
$$f(x) = x-\sqrt{1-x^2}$$
I know how to find range of $f(x)=\sqrt{1-x^2}$ but that function is different. Can anyone help?
A: As the domain of this function is $[-1,1]$, you can parametrize with $x=\sin\theta,\enspace-\frac\pi 2\le\theta\le\frac\pi2$. Then
$$x-\sqrt{1-x^2}=\sin\theta-\cos\theta= \sqrt2\sin \Bigl(\theta-\frac\pi4\Bigr).$$
Now on $\bigl[-\frac\pi 2,\frac\pi2\bigr]$, $\;\theta-\frac\pi4\in\bigl[-\frac{3\pi}4,\frac\pi4\bigr] $, so
$$-1\le\sin \Bigl(\theta-\frac\pi4\Bigr)\le \frac{\sqrt2}2,\enspace\text{hence}\enspace -\sqrt 2\le f(x)\le 1.$$
A: Alternative approach (to the ones already outlined in the comments or the other answers): on $[-1,1]$ both $x$ and $-\sqrt{1-x^2}$ are convex functions, so it is their sum. In particular the maximum value of $f(x)=x-\sqrt{1-x^2}$ is attained at one of the endpoints of $[-1,1]$, namely the right one. $f'(x)=0$ has a unique solution in $[-1,1]$, at $x=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, hence $f\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=-\sqrt{2}$ is the minimum of the range of $f$.

BkiUdU04ukPiEebgxMEf | AGATHODAIMON - The Seven / Digipak CD PRE-ORDER RELEASE DATE 3/18/22
NPR1021DP
Rejoining forces after many years of silence, German dark metal frontrunners AGATHODAIMON set the stage for their long-awaited comeback – the bittersweet seventh studio album, The Seven, out March 18, 2022 via Napalm Records. Formed in 1995 and entering the scene with their debut, Blacken the Angel, in 1998, the five-piece has made an undisputable name for themselves ever since. Yet after six albums, many festival appearances and tours, bandleader Sathonys was temporarily forced to put AGATHODAIMON on hold in 2014 due to private circumstances. But the irrevocable fire of the band and their fans never went out, seeking a reawakening of this sonic, seething beast. Now, the gates of darkness have opened once again to reveal extreme soundscapes amid a captivating mélange of evil provoking, cutting dark metal and heroic symphonic black metal in the style of bands like Cradle of Filth and Carach Angren, but with a unique and very own multifaceted take.
AGATHODAIMON's seventh strike maintains the old-school spirit of its predecessor In Darkness (2013), but can't be pigeonholed due to its dynamic and widespread musical styles, evoking a gloomy atmosphere fueled by sharp growls, epic clear vocals and a gripping, exceptional sonic universe. Thematically, as hinted by the album's title, the full-length is centered around the momentous and symbolically powerful number seven and the seven deadly sins - sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, pride, wrath, envy - on ten tracks total, all addressed with religious topics that contrast with human beings and its original nature. Diving into this exciting construct with opener "La Haine", the track lures the listener into the freezing, dark world of AGATHODAIMON, produced by long-time companion Kristian "Kohle" Bonifer (Aborted, Powerwolf, Hämatom amongst others), by building up a dense wall of thunderous sound, accented by a multifaceted vocal interpretation. Songs like raging "Wolf Within" and haunting "In my Dreams" roam between dense soundscapes, crushing instrumentals and intense lyricism. "Kyrie / Gloria" on the other hand stomps more towards heavy doom metal, calling for a black mass with creeping darkness and desperate screams turning into harsh black metal parts, all topped by the guest appearance of Benighted frontman Julien Truchan. Amid the tracklisting there's another special treat for fans lurking with epochal orchestration that paves the war for the remarkable performance of AGATHODAIMON's former vocalist, Romanian Vlad Dracul, on "Mother of all Gods". It's not only this very first collaboration since 1999, but The Seven as a whole, that showcases that AGATHODAIMON absolutely acing the balancing act of incorporating their past into a bright and exciting future.

BkiUdKfxK4sA-7sDfDFP | This morning, the panelists at the AZ Tech Beat Women in Tech event put some spice in everyone's coffee with a side of real and raw discussion about managing your reputation online. In the digital world, we have our personal and our professional image, and the panelists offered advice on how to best manage these while remaining true to oneself.
From left to right: Francine Hardaway, Aly Saxe, Lauren Strait, Tishin Donkersley and Monique Hoffman.
Moderated by Chief Editor of AZTB Tishin Donkersley, the panel included Francine Hardaway, co-founder and CEO of Stealthmode Partners, an accelerator for tech and healthcare entrepreneurs; Aly Saxe, CEO and founder of Iris PR Management, a software company created to cure the headaches found in the world of public relations; Monique Hoffman, creator of social media management firm QtheBrand; and Lauren Strait, mommy blogger of Macaroni Kid.
A common theme throughout the panel was an emphasis on producing transparent, quality content when managing and promoting a brand's image and reputation — personal or otherwise — online.
How do you know if the content is high quality? Do what technology is supposed to do and test to see what works, Hardaway said.
Entrepreneurs need to test the social landscape to find out where their audience is engaged and act as a content mixologist to discover which material quenches their thirst.
"Consumers want to be educated, but they don't want to be told what to do," Strait noted, adding her suggestion to pair posts, especially Facebook, with a pin-worthy photo.
Besides photographs, quality content rules and it could be anything from answering questions from the audience to linking useful information that captures their attention. This strategy of testing and mixing content works to provide value to the target group and promote engagement between the brand and audience.
Besides using obvious social media channels or splurging on a PR agency to promote content, blogs are a great way for women and their companies to reach their target audience.
But what about the trolls or unhappy customers who are waiting to launch a personal attack at any given moment? The panelists agreed to acknowledge the individual publicly, then take it offline as fast as you can to diffuse the situation. However, if the person is just plain inappropriate, don't be afraid to delete ones that don't add value to the discussion.
The conversation turned to ones' personal versus private life and how to deal with the overlap. A few years ago — and even for some today — the idea was to create multiple social accounts to separate your personal life from your entrepreneurial business; the panel agreed that this system becomes unrealistic as both brands, especially if you are the brand, are likely to grow and merge together over time.
However, while you may use the same Facebook and Twitter account for yourself and your brand, it's important to treat the online environment as a networking event rather than as a diary or rant outlet.
"I look at Facebook as one giant networking event, so I wouldn't post something that I wouldn't tell a stranger," Saxe said.
This also goes for what pages you like on Facebook, Hoffman added. Your "friends" or "followers" will see what you prefer and that could be a piece of information you may not want out there.
One of the main points of advice the panelist emphasized was the importance of keeping the "you" in your online persona instead of trying to please everyone.

BkiUgKbxK6wB9lIs_0Ie | Walmart AMP Puts on its 'Most Impressive Season' in 2019
The Walmart AMP's summertime lineup keeps getting better, and 2019 won't be an exception to that pattern.
Santana already took the stage at the Northwest Arkansas outdoor concert venue on April 28, and fans will see The Avett Brothers, Nelly, Earth Wind & Fire, The Killers, Brad Paisley and Sheryl Crow before the summer comes to a close.
"It's quite possibly their most impressive season to date," said Robert Locke, co-founder of Shindigmusic, a website that keeps up with the Arkansas music scene. "The diversity of genres would have to be the thing I like about this year's concert schedule. Young and old, there's certainly something for everyone this year, and that's proving to be something the AMP is getting better and better at with each season."
Indeed, this summer's schedule includes alternative bands like Jimmy Eat World and Ra Ra Riot, rock legends such as Yes and Santana, folk rock music by The Avett Brothers and hip-hop stars Nelly and Flo-Rida. There's a nice country music lineup, too, with Brad Paisley (June 27), Alan Jackson (Aug. 8) and Rascal Flatts (Aug. 31) scheduled to perform.
Today kicks off what's billed as National Concert Week, and the Walmart AMP is one of the venues across the U.S. that's selling some tickets at a discount. The price of general admission lawn seats is $20 for 17 different events at the AMP, starting with The Avett Brothers show on May 17 and ending with Maze on Sept. 8. The discounted tickets are available through next Tuesday..
Locke said he's most looking forward to July 21 when Yes and Asia perform.
"For fans of 60s and 70s rock, this is the one that seems to be generating a ton of excitement in the area," Locke said.
Shindigmusic has an overview of the entire AMP lineup on its website, describing the AMP's schedule as the "biggest slate of shows in its history."
Information about Walmart AMP tickets and the full schedule can be found at the AMP's website.

Special Election Poll Shows Democrat Favored
By John McArdle
Posted April 30, 2008 at 6:43pm
In a special election that will be viewed as an important signpost six months before the November elections, Democrats are poised to steal a once-safe Republican seat in Louisiana, according to a new poll conducted exclusively for Roll Call.
Heading into Saturday's special election to replace former Rep. Richard Baker (R), state Rep. Don Cazayoux (D) appeared to have a solid lead over former state Rep. Woody Jenkins (R) in an automated poll taken Sunday through Tuesday by SurveyUSA.
In the poll, Cazayoux was the choice of 50 percent of the 501 likely special election voters, while Jenkins was named by 41 percent. The poll had a 4.5-point margin of error.
If Cazayoux prevails in a district that gave President Bush 59 percent of the vote in 2004, it will be the second GOP-leaning seat that Democrats have picked up in special elections this year — and a major blow to Republicans' efforts to win back control of the House.
It may sound overly simplistic to say that the outcome of Saturday's special election for the Baton Rouge-based seat will depend on turnout, but the SurveyUSA poll gave some insight into exactly why that is the case.
Among white voters, Jenkins had a 5-point lead, while Cazayoux had a 5-1 advantage among black voters (the district is 63 percent white and 33 percent black). Among voters age 50 or older, Jenkins was up by 5 points, but among voters younger than 50, Cazayoux had a 20-point advantage. Among men, the contest was even, while among women, Cazayoux led by 19 points.
The survey memo notes that "if voters are older and/or whiter than SurveyUSA here foresees, the Republican will outperform these numbers."
Despite enduring two weeks of constant attacks on the air from Republicans and independent conservative groups, Cazayoux had a net favorability rating of plus-15 (43 percent favorable, 28 percent unfavorable and 28 percent neutral or unfamiliar), according to the poll.
Jenkins, who came into the race with much higher name identification but who was known as a controversial figure, had a minus-13 favorability rating (36 percent favorable, 49 percent unfavorable and 14 percent neutral or unfamiliar).
If those favorability ratings hold through Saturday, the Republican strategy of driving up Cazayoux's negatives among an electorate that was just getting to know him will have failed.
Only about half of Cazayoux's state House district — with its 25,000 registered voters — falls within the 6th Congressional district, therefore much of Cazayoux's early campaign focused on introducing himself to voters.
Considering Cazayoux's relatively low name ID at the beginning of the contest Republicans have mostly focused on casting the state legislator from the western portion of the district in a negative light.
But it seems that while Cazayoux's negatives have increased, so too have Jenkins'.
An early April poll released by Cazayoux's campaign showed the Democrat had a 55 percent to 13 percent favorable/unfavorable rating, while Jenkins had a 56 percent to 34 percent favorable/unfavorable rating.
Besides Jenkins' somewhat modest ad buys, no less than four conservative groups, including the National Republican Congressional Committee, have gone to work against Cazayoux since he won his party runoff in early April.
Despite an initial hesitancy over whether to even play in the race because of the baggage Jenkins brought to his campaign (in his March primary race, one of Jenkins' challengers accused him of buying a mailing list from former Ku Klux Klan leader and political candidate David Duke during Jenkins' unsuccessful 1996 Senate campaign), the NRCC has committed significant resources to the contest. According to Federal Election Commission filings, the committee has dropped more than $325,000 in independent expenditures on the race in just the past two weeks.
Meanwhile the independent political group Freedom's Watch has spent about half a million dollars on TV ads in the 6th district. More than one of the ads produced by Freedom's Watch has brought complaints from Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which has asked the FEC to open investigations into two of those ads. The DCCC is also asking the Internal Revenue Service to strip Freedom's Watch of its tax-exempt status. On Wednesday, one of the group's ads was pulled from the air by a CBS affiliate in Baton Rouge
Other anti-Cazayoux independent expenditures have come from the anti-tax group the Club for Growth — which has spent more than $110,000 on the contest — and Lane Grigsby, a wealthy construction company owner, who has a history of getting involved in Bayou State campaigns. Grigsby had dropped more than $100,000 in independent expenditures on the race since April 17.
The DCCC meanwhile has spent more than $600,000 on ads and other independent expenditures in just the last two weeks. Cazayoux received additional support this week when the Service Employees International Union decided to buy air time in the race.
Democrats have said the intensity of the attacks by the NRCC and other conservative organizations should be interpreted as a sign of Republican desperation in the special election.
Republicans counter that Cazayoux's ties to national figures, like presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), are more likely the cause of so much animosity for his campaign.
"By the looks of Don Cazayoux's ads, he is on the defensive," NRCC spokesman Ken Spain said Wednesday. "His support for Barack Obama's radical health care agenda and his long record of raising taxes is becoming a growing liability for him."
DCCC spokeswoman Jennifer Crider said the NRCC is out of touch with what's happening on the ground in the district.
"The reality is that heading into this election Woody Jenkins was an extremely flawed candidate," Crider said. "You only needed to read Republican comments to see where his greatest vulnerabilities were.
"The fact is that Woody Jenkins is out for one person, Woody Jenkins," Crider added. "Don Cazayoux is out in the community working to be an independent voice and representative of the community. And as much as Republicans want to make this about people outside [the 6th district], the reality is that voters know that this is a race between Don Cazayoux and Woody Jenkins." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdx_xK19JmejM97jS | Windows is such a terrible (un)operating system that I find myself at least once a year having to wipe a computer I don't care much about and reinstall everything rather than trying to solve whatever particular problem has surfaced — a procedure in stark contrast to troubleshooting my main, daily-use computers for which I will do whatever it takes to avoid a reinstall.
Microsoft compounds difficulties further, limiting the number of times you can try to recover from their self-made messes, and requiring activation of a poorly performing O/S that I'd frankly rather replace with anything created by the dumbest Apple engineer. Yet, for hopefully only the short term, I am forced — thanks to a tech budget recently blown on camera gear — to stick with Microshaft.
So, here I am, in my dining room, trying to resurrect my daughter's computer. No, I do not want to activate or register my computer online for the umpteenth time. I just want to reinstall and go — and, in order to do so, I'm invoking a little-known secret.
Located in the \i386\unattend.txt file on your installation CD is a product ID that resembles a registration key (not the same thing!) that sometimes allows you to activate your computer and skip the registration process when you use it instead of the registration key printed on your genuine Microsoft product packaging. It's often hit or miss; some IDs work and others don't.
Now, with any luck, you can stick it to the big guy in Redmond by refusing to re-activate your already registered product! | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfRE5qhLBhZ3KGSQU | Affordable dental care plans are gaining popularity than actually, and tend to be slowly taking the area of dental care insurance. As households everywhere attempt to save money with regards to medical expenses, however, they might be over looking among the best ways in order to save money on the children's dental care bill: preventing cavities in your own home.
Cavities tend to be infection within the teeth which are often brought on by bacteria. As bacteria accumulates on the actual tooth, it may slowly consume away in the tooth, leading to pain, inflammation and frequently resulting within the tooth needing a filling up or needing to be removed. Following several tips in your own home can assist in preventing children from battling with this, and may make dental hygiene more inexpensive, even when utilizing low price plans.
Drinking pop along with other carbonated beverages often provides little if any nutritional value to some child's every day diet. Rather than getting the actual nutrition they need, kids are filling up themselves upward with bare calories. That isn't the just danger associated with pop although.
The chemicals which are found within popular sodas are dangerous towards the body whenever consumed in considerable amounts, and the actual acid that can be found in soft beverages can gradually chip away in the enamel about the tooth, producing a tooth that's exposed to all the sugars within sugary beverages, and more vulnerable to get cavities. Being an added reward, groceries might be more inexpensive when loved ones quit purchasing as numerous sugary beverages.
Most mother and father are upon point with regards to their kids brushing their own teeth a minimum of twice each day. The something that mother and father are missing with regards to brushing is actually that pediatric dentists suggest that parents assist their kids brush their own teeth or a minimum of supervise them carrying this out until they're eleven years of age.
Often, children make an effort to rush via their early morning or evening routine, especially their own morning routine when they want to get prepared for plans they have that day time. Instead, simply sit having a child and ensure that they clean their the teeth, tongue as well as gums. This alone might help make likely to the dentist less expensive than in the past, as it reduces the quantity of fillings as well as cavities which children will suffer from.
It can also be advised which children clean their teeth each morning before breakfast rather than waiting until once they eat. Plaque as well as bacteria can develop in the actual mouth immediately, resulting within cavities.
Limiting candy along with other foods which are full associated with refined sugar can go quite a distance in helping prevent cavities. Upon special vacations, such because Halloween, chocolate is hardly ever avoided. Rather than letting kids eat several pieces the night, it's really better with regard to parents in order to let all of them eat around they want for any night. After that, all from the sugar is going to be brushed away in a single night, which is more preferable for tooth than a continuing flow associated with sugar.
There's also programs which allow kids to trade within their Halloween candy for the money, which is a good incentive with regard to children to eliminate their chocolate and get rid of the sugar altogether.
Affordable dental care plans are an effective way for households to finally be capable of geting their children towards the dentist when they have to go. They are wonderful for saving cash on upkeep, and numerous plans provide savings on such things as cleanings as well as X-rays, but the easiest method to save cash on oral take care of cavities would be to prevent all of them before these people happen.
It's in no way too late to begin practicing correct oral cleanliness with kids. If they curently have cavities, using inexpensive dental programs for fillings as well as extractions is excellent, and after that families can start to take the correct measures to avoid future cavities through happening.

BkiUbcs4ubnjopkrFUl_ | A year and a half into Benjamin Netanyahu's second term, it's clear that no matter what the Palestinians do or say, this Israeli PM will not sign a final agreement. I don't think that even the US administration can change that. At most, it could ignite a process that the next government can carry on; much in the way President Bush forced PM Yitzhak Shamir into the Madrid conference.
Every Israeli leader is more likely to prefer the statues quo to concessions on the Palestinian issue (I explained why here). But in Netanyahu's case, stalling the process doesn't seem to be a tactical decision, but a strategic one.
As Akiva Eldar points in Haaretz today, in recent weeks, the Palestinians have agreed to everything Israel always asked them. They are ready for border changes that will leave the big settlements on the Israeli side; they agree to international forces in the West Bank that would monitor the situation and help protect the border; they are ready to give up the right of return into the state of Israel; and it seems that they are ready for a reasonable compromise in Jerusalem.
The Palestinian leadership explained its positions on all the core issues in details, both to the American envoy and in public – something that surly didn't help them in their political battle against the Hamas hardliners – yet they got no response from Israel. Netanyahu refused to reveal Israel's positions, in public or in private.
Every step Netanyahu took, from the partial settlement moratorium to allowing more goods into Gaza, was done under tremendous international pressure, and only after any other alternative failed. When felt cornered, he preferred to take the political battle to Washington, where, with the help of AIPAC, he repeatedly embarrassed the US president. By doing so, he made the support of Israel a partisan issue, divided the Jewish community and used much of the Israeli lobby's political credit. All of this didn't matter as long as he got what he wanted: for now, it seems that the administration is finally off his back.
Netanyahu is no fool. He knows what price this sort of maneuvering carries. Yet he prefers it to every alternative. I guess he estimates that the maximum he is willing to give is not even close to the minimum the Palestinians can settle with. So why do anything that would start a political fight with the right?
I don't know the roots of Netanayhu's positions: is it his upbringing, his reading of the political map in Israel or his view of the country's long-term interests. Yet the bottom line couldn't have been clearer: Netanyahu simply prefers the statues quo.
Now, it's not that I support Palestinian terrorism, and I do think Jews were right to fight the British occupation – though Shamir doesn't mention the fact that many of the Lehi and Irgun attacks were against Arab civilians, not foreign soldiers – it's just that this quote offers a glimpse into the twisted, double-standards, thinking that got us to where we are. This interview was published in 91′, and I believe that by now most Israeli understand that the Palestinian problem won't just go away, but they clearly haven't reached the point where they are willing to do something serious about it.
In his video speech to […] the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Mr. Netanyahu said he wants peace with the Palestinians. He even committed to negotiations "without any delay and without any preconditions." But it rings hollow. He has resisted - and his foreign minister and unity government partner, Avigdor Lieberman, has openly derided - the two-state solution that is the only sensible basis for a lasting settlement that could anchor a regional peace.
This blog is written from the Left. I try to describe events in the most objective way, but I don't hide my views. I believe that our first political obligations as Israelis is to do all that we can to end the forty two years old occupation of the West Bank, and to stop the siege on Gaza, which is another form of occupation. I also think that racism is becoming a major problem in Israeli society, and that we must do everything in our power to fight it. These are the principles I see in front of me when I consider which government is best for Israel.
The options range between bad and worse. The parties that advocate a full withdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and who are truly committed to democratic values, got three percent of the Jewish vote in the last elections. Three. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUbC05qU2Ap1LhlDcd | The City of Oak Ridge Community Development Department is asking citizens for feedback on the first draft results of the City Blueprint Plan.
Blueprint is a citywide plan for the future of Oak Ridge. The formation of the plan is led by the Municipal Planning Commission with input and involvement from the entire community, including residents, businesses, and property owners. Generally, a citywide plan prepares for future population change or growth and its anticipated impacts in order to ensure that the city can achieve desired goals for the built environment, community services, economic health, and quality of living.
Now that the draft plan is coming into focus, even more feedback is required. The Community Development team is beginning a series of 'virtual meetings' to gauge community acceptance, without interfering with the busy holiday season. The plan will be presented in small pieces over many weeks on the City website and Facebook page as well as in the lobby of the public library. Citizens interested in providing feedback can visit the website for updated information and opportunities to respond.
In early 2019, the entire draft plan will be open to the community for review, then presented to City leaders for adoption. Broad feedback and input from the community will ensure that the City Blueprint is a valid, supported guide for development and will lead to successful outcomes for the community. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdtw5qg5A57oeA2go | 28.11.2019 » Can in-form Dybala inspire Juventus to Champions League glory?
Few can disagree that the most in-form player in Juventus right now is the Argentine star, Paulo Dybala. Could he be the man leading Juventus to success in their Champions League campaign this season?
Maurizio Sarri's era at Juventus has been overflowing with success in its initial stages. While some are questioning his methods, the results have come by hook or by crook to keep the Bianconeri in a comfortable position in the league as well as the UEFA Champions League. Now understandably, after having won the Serie A title for the past eight years, the bigger priority is to break the Champions League duck. This William Hill sign up offer is a good way to back Juventus in Europe, where they are one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Sarri's expertise in Europe, where he won the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea, was another reason he was ushered in with confidence.
Paulo Dybala - Juventus 2019/20:
Dybala's influence grows by the day
But the most influential warrior for the Italian in recent weeks has been the one he wanted to sell in the summer. Paulo Dybala, after a troublesome summer in which he rejected both of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur's advances, is proving Sarri why he was wrong about him.
The Argentine's found back his unstoppable flow under Sarriball, operating as a stick of booming dynamite in the final third for the Bianconeri.
With Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly having some issues, Dybala's taken the claim of Juve's most influential attacker to keep winning them matches.
More than just his incredible winner against Atletico Madrid, where he fooled Jan Oblak with a stunning curler out of nowhere, Dybala's been a big reason for Juve's success in Europe. With three goals and an assist in five games, he's single-handedly won them six points in the group.
Dybala's getting even better as he adjusts himself to Sarri's style, with the Italian being compelled to put the attacking load on him. He's also getting a lot of help from compatriot Gonzalo Higuain, who's turned around his fortunes after a disastrous loan spell at Chelsea.
Higuain's also scored 5 goals and assisted as many across all competitions, with his impeccable link-up play with Dybala proving their sparkling chemistry.
A more balanced team...
Now that the Bianconeri have a solid defensive structure, helped by Leonardo Bonnucci's rock-solid partnership with new-boy Matthijs De Ligt, they look more capable of sustaining pressure in Europe.
Of course, things will get only better once Ronaldo regains his ruthlessness as the season moves on. But for now, Dybala is taking the mantle of winning them games and swooning fans with his beautiful work around the attacking third.
Times will get harder as they move forward in the Champions League and face tougher opposition who will test the Bianconeri's mental fortitude.
The Argentine will need to grow a thicker skin to avoid injuries, keep contributing towards goal and retain his productive nature through the highs and lows.
But having tasted disappointment with the Bianconeri in Europe for years now, he looks ready to use that as a weapon to plough through the intimidating oppositions which come in the Champions League and inspire his side with his stunning contribution marching forward.
Cristiano Ronaldo next game for Juventus in the Serie A is on November 26, against Atletico Madrid. You can watch Juventus vs Sassuolo, Lille vs Ajax, Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool vs Napoli, Valencia vs Chelsea, and Slavia Prague vs Inter, all matches provided from our live streaming game pages.

BkiUdvM4uzlgqBZvCmPz | Audiobooks found to elicit a greater emotional response than movies or television
By Jeremy Olshan
Science proves the book is in fact better than the movie.

Thanks to science, the narrative superiority of words over motion picture can now be quantified.
JeremyOlshan
It is hardly controversial to say that the book is always better than the movie. With the exception of "The Godfather" and maybe a few others, that much is universally acknowledged. It's elementary.
But just how much better? Thanks to science, the narrative superiority of words over motion picture can now be quantified.
Psychologists at University College in London found that Jane Austen, George R. R. Martin, and Arthur Conan Doyle exerted a greater tug on people's heart strings in book form than in the television of movie adaptations of the works. Specifically, audiobook form, and it should be noted the research was funded by Audible, as part of the Amazon AMZN, +0.50% subsidiary's ongoing efforts to find the secret sauce of what most engages listeners.
Don't miss: This critical look at central bankers is Amazon's best business book of 2018 (so far)
In an experiment that hardly seems a trial, subjects listened to powerful audiobook clips such as the proposal of Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth Bennett in "Pride and Prejudice," or the beheading of Ned Stark in "Game of Thrones" and also watched the very same scenes in the film and television adaptations.
Sensor readings showed the audiobook raised subjects' heart rates two beats-per-minute faster, and body temperatures two degrees higher on average than the video versions did. Their skin's electrical conductance also increased slightly.
The three measures, taken together, suggest a greater emotional response to the audiobooks than the video clips, Dr. Joseph Devlin, who conducted the experiment, said.
"We were very surprised by the strength of the results," said Devlin, who speculates that the way readers (and audiobook listeners) "recreate" the scene in their minds heightens the experience. Interestingly, participants themselves rated the videos as more engaging than the audio overall, but their hearts seem to suggest otherwise, Devlin said.
"The next question we plan to explore is the why," he said, suggesting future experiments might make use of fMRI scanners and have participants listen to books in their entirety.
Though the range of human emotions, and the quality of art, is far more nuanced than can be measured by heart rate and skin conductivity, the research validates just how powerful the performance of the works by audiobook narrators can be, Audible CEO Don Katz said.
Funding scientific research on the experience of audiobook listening makes for more than just good marketing, Katz said. By combining this science with the customer analytics the service has built up after millions of hours of listening, the company can make smarter decisions about what audiobooks to produce, and one day use it to inform how books should be written in the first place.
"Understanding these emotional triggers will help not just with the kind of audiobooks we invest in, but knowing which narrative designs are most effective," Katz said. "Should there be more omniscient narrators versus first-person works? We expect this will point us in the direction of what styles work best for what genres."

El Jalapeno II Mexican Restaurant in Youngstown, Ohio
Victor Alacazar needed a loan because he wanted to remodel and paint his dining room El Jalapeno II, a Mexican restaurant in Youngstown, Ohio. However, because he had been rejected for funding from banks in the past, he was reluctant to go back to them again.
Born in Mexico, he grew up in Modesto, California. Later, his parents went back to Mexico, where he lived until he was a teenager. When some of my friends opened up restaurants in places across the U.S. and he decided to help them out. Alacazar has now been in the restaurant business for more than a decade.
"It was hard to keep up with the bills and taxes and then be able to invest in remodeling. I couldn't get a loan. The bank couldn't help me, and I thought about closing," said Victor Alacazar 34, owner of two Mexican restaurants: El Jalapeno in Niles, Ohio and El Jalapeno 2 in Youngstown. "A friend in merchant services saw potential in my business and encouraged me to keep pursuing funding through Biz2Credit"
"My credit wasn't good; I made mistakes when I was younger, and at the time I had too little history, so I couldn't get money. I was scared to go back to the bank," said Alacazar, who borrowed $20,000 from a cash advance company though Biz2Credit and paid it back in less than 8 months as a portion of his credit card receipts.
With help from Rony Thomas, Senior Funding Specialist at Biz2Credit, Alacazar was able to borrow $20,000 just four days after submitting all the required paperwork. With the infusion of cash, he took walls down, painted and bought margarita machines.
"It helped. People see all that. It definitely helps increase sales," said Alacazar. "Now, I've built some credit. It was definitely worth it. I'm very happy. The loan from Biz2Credit helped very much."
Now, the entrepreneur has a goal of buying a building that houses his other restaurant, El Jalapeno, in Niles, Ohio. The restaurant serves burritos, fajitas and other Mexican entrees in a casual setting with a bar & outdoor seating.
"If everything comes out good, I will probably try to buy the building in Austintown, too," the restaurateur said. "My advice for other immigrant entrepreneurs is: Don't be afraid to try."

BkiUbI45qoYDgZl6NKPm | The Yellow Class children have been making some great progress with their guided reading throughout the spring term. This activity takes place each day. Individual targets are set for each pupil depending on their needs.
Some of the pupils have been looking for missing letters in a word. They are given a picture and then the word with a missing letter. Two choices are given.
Another level of learners have been using a pair of words to create a short sentence. An example is tree and park. The sentence 'the tree is in the park' is then formed.
Maths learning in Yellow Class has introduced the pupils to some new concepts. We have looked at what is meant by inside and outside. The class members have looked at examples such as a dog sitting inside a kennel, and then outside.
Ordinal numbers is another new maths activity in Yellow Class. The pupils have been thinking about what is meant by 1st, or 5th etc.
We have used visual resources to help with this activity. Five balloons were shown in a picture. The pupils were asked to colour in the 1st and 5th balloon.
Finally some simple addition has been completed in Yellow Class. The children are working towards being able to add together single digit numbers. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdIk25YjgKOYKJnf2 | IATA may be right that Europe poses special market challenges to airlines, but the ongoing success of LCCs in the market proves that IATA members may need to look inwards for the answers to their woes. And much as Tyler might want it to, the infrastructure argument just doesn't hold water.
In his official remarks to attendees at the International Center for Competitive Studies in the Aviation Industry, Rome this June 17, Director General and CEO of IATA Tony Tyler expressed frustration that European market conditions do not foster the success of legacy carriers in the region.
The two points are not unrelated and form a part of a greater argument which reveals how IATA members feel about the continued growth and profitability of low-cost carriers, particularly in Europe.
The success of low-cost carriers in the European market weakens and in some cases contradicts IATA's arguments that infrastructure in Europe is inadequate to support growth, and that regulations and taxes imposed on airlines by European governments are the root cause for weak profitability in this market.
These remarks came just a week after Ryanair celebrated a June 10 release of IATA's own World Transport Statistics (2014 edition) which ranked Ryanair first among global carriers in passenger traffic by a wide margin, carrying 81.3m passengers in 2013.
Passengers carried alone are not a sign of success, and Ryanair has recently shown some weakening in its historically high profit margins. At the same time, the number-two-ranked easyJet has shown some strengthening in their performance. But both Ryanair and easyJet, as well as many other European LCCs continue to perform well. Indeed, the issues Tyler raised in his remarks also affect these LCCs.
For example, this February, both easyJet and Ryanair were fined a combined one million Euros by Italian Regulators at the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), after being found guilty of unfair and misleading practices on the sale of travel insurance. And the issues of Taxation and Regulation also affect LCCs in the European market.
On Tyler's most recent claim that LCCs are at an advantage when it comes to infrastructure, by capitalising on what traditional carriers have built, there is strong dispute both from Ryanair and Airports.
Skift reached out to easyJet for comment, but did not receive a reply in time for this story.
The airports themselves also take issue with claims that existing infrastructure should be credited to legacy carriers.
Skift reached out to IATA for clarification on these statements by Tyler, in order to obtain a reply to the statements from carriers and airports, but did not receive a reply.

BkiUa4_xK19JmejM7Sb3 | Five years on, still no justice for Iraq's Camp Speicher victims
Taif Alkhudary
June 12 marked five years since the Camp Speicher massacre, in which an estimated 1,700 unarmed cadets were executed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), and hundreds more were arrested and disappeared by Iraqi government forces. For the victims' families, the day was a stark reminder of the Iraqi government's consistent and overwhelming failure to determine their loved ones' fates and whereabouts, and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
On June 12, 2014, thousands of unarmed cadets were training at Camp Speicher, a military base in Salah al-Din Province in Iraq. As news spread that Tikrit had fallen to ISIL, 3,000 cadets were ordered by their superiors to change into civilian clothes, leave Camp Speicher and head home for a 15-day break. In the events that followed, many of them were captured by ISIL fighters, who separated the Sunnis from the Shia and non-Muslims, before taking the latter two to various locations around Tikrit and executing them one by one. Their bodies were later dumped into mass graves or thrown into the Tigris River.
Approximately 400 other cadets were arrested by Iraqi government forces during incursions into various areas in and around Tikrit, and accused of having deserted their military duties. Despite some families having been able to obtain photo evidence showing their loved ones detained in Iraqi government prisons alongside other Camp Speicher cadets, the Iraqi authorities have refused to acknowledge that they are in its custody.
While the Iraqi government has begun to exhume bodies from mass graves believed to contain the remains of the Camp Speicher victims, these efforts have been slow and severely flawed. This has left families anguished, uncertain as to whether their loved ones were among those executed by ISIL, or if they are part of the group being held secretly by the Iraqi authorities.
The Iraqi Mass Graves Directorate, a branch of government responsible for overseeing mass grave excavations in the country, lacks the necessary human and material resources to carry out its work. This includes insufficient storage space, a lack of the most basic equipment such as gloves and masks, and only 43 staff charged with the colossal task of managing the excavations of the over 200 mass graves documented in Iraq to date. As a result, it has been recently estimated that at the current rate, it would take 800 years for operations to be completed.
In addition, the draft Speicher Law, proposed by Iraqi legislators in early 2019 as a means to prosecute individuals involved in the massacre, is severely flawed and fails to meet international legal standards. While the law has not yet been put on the parliamentary schedule for review, this could happen at any time. If adopted, it would further impede the search for justice of victims' families.
Firstly, the draft law defines all victims as "martyrs", failing to acknowledge that some cadets are being held in secret detention by Iraqi authorities or to provide measures to ensure that investigations are carried out into their fate and whereabouts. It also absolves Iraqi government forces and pro-government militias of any responsibility, as it defines ISIL as the sole perpetrator of the crimes committed against the Camp Speicher cadets.
Furthermore, the law calls on the judicial authorities to impose "legal punishments" on "perpetrators, participants, enablers and instigators" of crimes at Camp Speicher. However, it fails to specify the nature of the punishments or how their severity differs depending on the level of the individual's involvement in the crime. As a consequence, the law enables Iraqi judges to hand out the same sentences to those who willingly committed the most serious crimes at Camp Speicher, as to those who had no choice but to participate.
The proposed Speicher Law thus highlights the Iraqi authorities' perception that justice can only be done if no mercy is shown to anyone with real or perceived ISIL affiliations. However, this approach is misguided and counterproductive: by attempting to remedy gross human rights violations with equally gross violations, all the Iraqi government has done is to increase the likelihood of the re-emergence of ISIL.
In fact, the shortcomings of the draft Speicher Law are remarkably similar to those of the Iraqi Anti-Terrorism Law, which imposes a mandatory death sentence for anyone who perpetrates, participates in or covers up a terrorist act. It is on the basis of this law that dozens have been executed in relation to the Camp Speicher massacre following unfair trials which lasted for a few minutes each and which were marred with allegations of torture. In no way do such flawed prosecutions achieve justice for the Camp Speicher victims or their families.
Five years on, it is time that the Iraqi authorities granted the families of the Camp Speicher victims their right to know the truth about the events that unfolded in June 2014. This not only means dedicating extra resources to mass grave excavations, so that victims' remains may be returned to their relatives, but it also requires acknowledging that some of the cadets may still be alive and in Iraqi custody, and taking appropriate measures to ensure their release.
Moreover, the Iraqi authorities owe it to the victims to instigate the reforms necessary for the creation of a just legal system capable of holding all perpetrators to account and ensuring that the tragedy at Camp Speicher never happens again.

Star of the Week — Aline MacMahon
September 24, 2014Written by Joe Morella and Frank Segers
She wasn't glamourous, but she held her own against the beauties of the 1930s- the Gold Diggers and Busby Berkeley girls of Warner Bros. And she was a damn good actress.
When we did several blogs about character actress Agnes Moorehead, one of our regular readers, Mike Sheridan, commented: I have always loved A.M.' s work and think she's much under appreciated. In my Hollywood comparisons I always team up Agnes with Aline MacMahon…. How about a column on her, fellas?
Yes Mike, MacMahon, too, is under appreciated. We're here to help right that wrong. MacMahon worked continuously from 1921 until she retired in 1975. First on Broadway, later films and then television.
Catch her in 1932's One Way Passage with Kay Francis, William Powell and Frank McHugh. Then watch her in Kind Lady, and Ah Wilderness. Her most famous film, however, is Dragon Seed, for which she received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress. It was the film version of Pearl Buck's best selling novel about the Japanese invasion of China in the 1930s. MacMahon got third billing after Katherine Hepburn and Walter Huston. By the way Agnes Moorehead was in this one too.
One of MacMahon's last and best films was the Judy Garland/Dirk Bogarde melodrama, I Could Go On Singing.
Aline's father was Irish, her mother Russian Jewish. Her mother lived to 105 and died only 7 years before MacMahon herself, who died at 92 in 1991.

BkiUaUjxK3YB9ohkJa47 | If you sold or used Bitcoin last year, the CRA needs to collect its due
Armina Ligaya The Canadian Press Published Thursday, February 1, 2018 11:22AM EST

TORONTO -- It may seem early to start thinking about filing taxes, but this year's return could be particularly time-consuming for Canadians who have flocked to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, especially those who don't realize they owe the government money.
No need to worry if you've purchased Bitcoin but haven't touched it since. But once that cryptocurrency is translated into a real-world dollar amount -- such as when you sell it or use it to buy something -- you are on the so-called tax man's radar.
The price of Bitcoin shot above US$19,000 in mid-December, prompting a surge of interest, along with some cautionary advice from officials. Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz warned about cryptocurrencies' risks and tax implications the same month.
"Characteristics vary widely but, generally speaking, they can be thought of as securities. The Canada Revenue Agency agrees," Poloz said during a Toronto speech. "That means, if you buy and sell them at a profit, you have income that needs to be reported for tax purposes."
But working out what to declare to the tax man is not that straightforward, experts say.
"There is no exact framework within the income tax act that tells us exactly how Bitcoin is taxable," said Lana Paton, managing partner of PwC Canada's Tax Services.
The CRA issued a letter in 2013 that stated that Bitcoin and other digital currencies were not considered to be legal tender. Instead, the government agency said, cryptocurrencies are viewed as a commodity. As such, any resulting gains or losses could be taxable income.
But until the gains on that virtual currency are realized -- whether that is by selling the digital currency, or using it to make a purchase -- those gains are not subject to tax.
"The act of buying Bitcoin or receiving Bitcoin should not be taxable," said Paton. "The act of using Bitcoin, will be taxable."
For example, if you purchased one bitcoin for US$10,000 but sold it last year for $19,000, you will need to declare $9,000 in capital gains.
When cryptocurrencies are used to pay for goods or services, the rules for barter transactions apply.
For example, if a merchant accepted Bitcoin in exchange for a desk, a pair of glasses or jewelry -- all items that can currently be bought using Bitcoin -- the seller will need to include the fair market value of the good or service sold in their income for tax purposes.
"You are trading one good for another and you uptraded, so you gained in value," said H&R Block senior tax professional Valorie Elgar.
"You're supposed to claim that as a capital gain."
GST or HST also apply on the value of any goods or services purchased using cryptocurrencies.
When making a purchase, any gains or losses on the cryptocurrency are considered realized and must be reported, said Paton.
For example, if you bought Bitcoin for US$1 -- a price the cryptocurrency hasn't held since 2011 -- and used that Bitcoin to buy a new car last year for roughly US$18,700, you would have to declare a capital gain of $18,699.
That gain, whether it is thousands of dollars or a couple of loonies, is subject to tax, said Paton. And avid users of Bitcoin should calculate this amount for all transactions during the tax year, she added.
As well, if someone used Bitcoin to purchase another cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum, he or she would be considered to have sold the Bitcoin for its value in Canadian dollars at the time of the transaction, said Elgar.
It's also important to keep in mind that the fees associated with cryptocurrency transactions would also reduce the gain (or add to the loss) that must be declared to the CRA.
The average Bitcoin transaction fee hit a high of US$55.16 in late December, according to BitInfoCharts.com, before slipping to US$8.53 on Jan. 28.
If you are cryptocurrency mining -- using powerful computers to process complex online cryptocurrency transactions in exchange for more cryptocurrency -- that has tax implications as well.
The cryptocurrency gained in this process will need to be reported as income, said Paton. However, these businesses will also be able to deduct associated expenses such as the cost of computers and electricity.
The flurry of Canadian companies that entered the cryptocurrency mining fray last year will be subject to these guidelines. But the tax implications and the recent plunge in prices -- Bitcoin briefly fell below US$10,000 this week -- might just temper the cryptocurrency frenzy in 2018.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada said Tuesday a right whale got entangled in fishing gear off the coast of Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula.
The department announced the whale was in an "extremely difficult and worrying" situation.
Ten North Atlantic right whales have died since June in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Robert Michaud, with an organization working to protect marine life in Quebec, says Fisheries and Oceans Canada first spotted the entangled whale on Monday.
He said the whale hasn't been spotted since and could have freed itself.
Twelve right whales were found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2017 and scientist did necropsies to find out why. The 2017 deaths prompted Ottawa to implement a number of measures to help prevent further whale deaths but recently some of the measures were eased.

BkiUf7w5qhDCuPMnCf5x | In total, a deck has 120 points. To win a game, a player must accumulate more points than any other player. There are usually two rounds to determine the winner, and the player who first accumulates more than 120 points wins.
After the deck is shuffled, each player is dealt three cards. The next card is placed face up on the playing surface, and the remaining deck is placed face down, sometimes covering half of the up-turned card. This card is the Briscola, and represents the trump suit for the game. Before the game begins if a player has the deuce of trump he/she may retire the "briscola". This move may only be done at the beginning of the game or first hand. Before the first hand is played (in four player game), team players may show each other their cards. The deal, and game play itself, proceeds counter-clockwise.
Once the winner of a trick is determined, that player collects the played cards, and places them face down in a pile. Each player maintains his/her own pile, though the four- and six-player versions may have one player collecting all tricks won by his partners. Then, each player draws a card from the remaining deck, starting with the player who won the trick, proceeding counter-clockwise. Note that the last card collected in the game should be the up-turned Briscola. The player who won the trick leads the next hand. During game play and only before the next to the last hand is played, a player who draws the card with the seven (7) of trump can take the "briscola". This may be done only if the player has won a hand. Before the last hand, people in the same team can look at each other's cards.
There also exists a variation whereby the three, is ranked as a three (i.e. a four can beat it) but maintains its status as worth 10 points. However, as mentioned, this is a variation, and not standard rules.
Declaration Briscola is the five-player version of Briscola. Every player is dealt eight cards, so that no cards remain undealt. Then, each player, starting from the dealer's right and proceeding counter-clockwise, bids in an auction to declare how many points they will score. A player may pass, and hence cannot bid again in that game. The bid represents the number of points that player believes he is capable of accumulating. Bidding continues until all but one player have passed in a round. This remaining player has then "won the bid" and therefore gets to declare the Briscola, i.e. the trump suit. The declarer also declares a specific Briscola card (example, the "Ace of Cups" if Cups was the declared Briscola) and the holder of this card is then determined to be the declarer's partner. Logically, the declarer would declare the highest Briscola card he does not already hold in the hopes of creating the strongest combined hand between him and his partner.
The remaining three players are partnered with each other, without their knowledge. Each player, other than the declarer's partner, acts independently, until it is clear which players are partners. Infrequently, the declarer may declare a Briscola card he already holds (if he feels he has a very strong hand), in which case the other four players are partenered against him.
Because of the unique method of declaration and blind partnering in this variation of the game, it is considered to be one of the most entertaining variations of the game. Game strategy is often devised to determine which player is partnered with the declarer, whereas the declarer's partner may devise ruses and decoy strategies to fool the other players, such as not taking a trick, or playing points on a trick that will be won by an opponent.
These points are accumulated after every game. The grand winner is the player with the most points at the end of the last match. Note that if the declarer calls a Briscola he holds, then the declarer will win or lose four points, and every other player will win or lose one point.
Usually, players determine the number of game points to accumulate in order to declare the grand winner, typically ranging from 10 to 20 points.
A modified version of Declaration Briscola requires the players to bid the rank of the Briscola they wish to call. As the bidding progresses, the rank is reduced, until a two is bid or all other players pass. Then, the last bidder may declare the suit of the Briscola. In this version, the objective is for the declarer and his partner to earn at least 61 points.
This version has a secondary variation, in which bidding can continue once a two has been bid; in this case, players start bidding the point total they must earn to win the match, starting from 62 (since 61 is the minimum possible to win during normal bidding). | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdrc4dbghWo_lIe7l | We've been building websites since 1996 – that's before Google was launched. The world before Google, imagine that? The age of Britpop also bore Vital into an internet cafe overlooking Harrogate's Valley Gardens. We survived on gallons of strong coffee to cope with a modem uploading web files.
Back then we'd build two websites at a time, on two keyboards, and owned some random domain names; normanwisdom.co.uk, usarmy.co.uk, ponder.co.uk, and our bonking.co.uk!
In these early days we were champions of Flash animation and 3D work, the digital projects we delivered were ahead of their time. One of our favourites was a full 3D render of London's Waterloo Station with the ability to walk through as a passenger and experience changing advertising. Wow, we really were well innovators!
As the internet literally took off, so did we. We left the café and moved to The Tower, a grand place to grow the business and focus on being an Internet Service Provider. As business demands changed, ISP merged into IT support and Vital became better known for our technical services. Vital Technology Group offers IT services including; outsourced IT support, cloud services, security and back-up solutions.
As the technology group flourished, we knew it was time to let our creativity shine once more. So, we have rebranded and relaunched our creative business as Vital Agency. We develop websites, create content and deliver branding. And think our new website give the original a run for its money. We developed the site using a WordPress platform with React JS giving us the ability to create a much quicker experience for the user navigating the website. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

With our professional HVAC service, you can find the peace of mind that your heating and cooling systems will work properly for years to come.

BkiUbjg4uzki00TqUlzd | The annual Parents' Day celebrations in the Republic of Korea take place on May 8th.
The 8th of May was originally celebrated as Mother's Day which later turned into Parent's Day, because the occasion was being felt to leave out fathers and honor only mothers. In Korea, Parent's Day is that time when children pay a tribute to their parents and also grandparents usually with the gifting of a carnation or a rose and the singing of a song themed to Parent's Day. Though it is not a national holiday, Parent's Day is surely a very special time in Korea. In South Korea, the streets and squares of Seoul take on a joyful look on Parent's Day. Everywhere, children and young people try to help elderly people, even perfect strangers, with their kind assistance. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

14 AMU students are booked on sedition charge
The FIR comes a day after protests on campus against a planned visit by AIMIM lawmaker Asaduddin Owaisi Tuesday when some AMU students were allegedly involved in an altercation with reporters and a cameraman of Republic TV.
FOURTEEN students including current and former office-bearers of the Aligarh Muslim University Students' Union (AMUSU) were booked on the sedition charge and other IPC sections Wednesday for allegedly raising anti-national slogans on the campus.
The FIR comes a day after protests on campus against a planned visit by AIMIM lawmaker Asaduddin Owaisi Tuesday when some AMU students were allegedly involved in an altercation with reporters and a cameraman of Republic TV. Police said that AMU students also allegedly assaulted Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) workers outside the campus in the violence that followed. No complaint has been filed against BJYM leaders, said police.
On Wednesday, AMU students staged a protest inside the campus demanding an FIR against BJYM leaders and AMU students who supported them. Later, the university announced that eight students have been suspended on charges of indiscipline and misconduct. In the wake of the protests, the Aligarh district administration snapped internet services for a day to avoid rumours and untoward incidents.
BJYM's Aligarh district president, Mukesh Lodhi said, "While driving past the university, I saw two student groups arguing over some issue. As I stopped my vehicle, some students forcibly dragged me out of my vehicle. When I objected, they thrashed us and also opened fire. No one got injured. The assailants raised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad' and 'Bharat Murdabad'. We somehow escaped and reached the police station."
On Mukesh's complaint, police filed an FIR against 14 students including AMUSU's vice president Humza Sufyan, former AMUSU president Maskoor Ahmad Usmani and former honorary secretary Mohammad Fahad and several unidentified students at the Civil Lines police station in Aligarh.
The FIR has been lodged under various sections of the IPC including 124-A (sedition), 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language), 307 (attempt to murder), 147 (rioting) and 153-B (Imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration).
Circle Officer, Aligarh, Pankaj Kumar Srivastava said, "So far no one has been arrested in the case. We are verifying video footage and photographs of the incident to ascertain whether such slogans were raised."
AMU public relations in-charge, M Shafey Kidwai said: "The university found these students have committed acts of indiscipline and misconduct. They have been placed under suspension with immediate effect and an inquiry has been ordered against them. The university campus and its maintained institutions are also placed out of bounds for them," he said.
"We have sent a complaint to police to lodge an FIR against people who had attacked AMU students yesterday. Police have not lodged FIR so far."
Additional Superintendent of Police, City, Ashutosh Dwivedi said, "We have received a complaint by AMU and the FIR will be lodged only after an inquiry into the matter."
Sufyan said, "A section of students led by Ajay Singh raised objections over Owaisi's visit and on Tuesday staged a protest near the university gate. Ajay and others were saying they would not allow Owaisi to enter the campus. However, Owaisi did not turn up for the meeting," said Sufyan, who is also named in the FIR.
Ajay Singh told The Indian Express that "when Owaisi did not turn up, I left the campus and returned home. Around two hours later, I got information that a group of university students thrashed a student who was at the protest with me."
"I went to proctor's office to lodge a complaint. While I was talking to officials, a group of students including arrived and started abusing me. Since the proctor's office was not ready to lodge an FIR against them, I went to the AMU registrar's office to protest," he said. Singh is the grandson of BJP MLA from Barauli in Aligarh, Dalveer Singh.
Meanwhile, police also registered an FIR against students and an AMU security officer on the complaint of Republic TV reporter. Police said that in the complaint, the reporter has stated that she and a colleague were assaulted by security staff and AMU students when they tried to enter the campus.

Men's Basketball: Vital and Gilbert forge new identity
"To be honest, I think I've sucked up to this point," Vital admitted after the win. "I just haven't made shots. I know what I did last year, being a 45/40% guy, and I put in work this summer to try to improve on that. So honestly, I feel like I've sucked up to this point." Photo by Eric Wang/The Daily Campus
This decade of UConn men's basketball, which came to a successful close in the Huskies' 69-47 win over NJIT on Sunday, will be remembered primarily by the emergence of some of the best guards in program history: Walker, Napier, Lamb, Boatwright, Adams.
Entering this season, there seemed ample opportunity for two more names to be added to that list. With the departure of Jalen Adams, it was time for the veteran backcourt duo of Alterique Gilbert and Christian Vital to take center stage.
On the surface, the spotlight hasn't been kind to Gilbert and Vital. Although Gilbert has finally managed to stay healthy, he's not even averaging double figures, shooting just 31% from the floor and 29% from deep. Vital's points-per-game average and field goal percentage are the lowest they've been since his freshman year, while his turnover numbers have ballooned from 2.23 to nearly three a game.
"To be honest, I think I've sucked up to this point," Vital admitted after the win. "I just haven't made shots. I know what I did last year, being a 45/40% guy, and I put in work this summer to try to improve on that. So honestly, I feel like I've sucked up to this point."
But offense is only half of the game of basketball, and those offensive numbers only tell half the story.
While struggling to score, Gilbert and Vital have turned themselves into nightmares on the defensive end, blanketing opposing guards under tenacious defense. If you're looking to teach a young player how to guard on and off the ball, just show them this video:
"How to Play Defense" by Alterique Gilbert pic.twitter.com/YTq7voaHom
— Matt Zampini (@Matt_Zamp) December 19, 2019
Gilbert, who was mostly known as an offensive threat and an average defender at best when he arrived in Storrs, has transformed into a lockdown defender. His 1.42 steals per game is a career-high, though his defensive impact goes beyond numbers. In Sunday's win, Gilbert shadowed NJIT's lead scorer Zach Cooks for most of the afternoon, holding the prolific scorer well below his 23 ppg. Cooks finished with just 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting, and about half of those points were found in garbage time.
"It was one of those games where you tell Al, you're going to expend so much energy on the defensive end, you're not going to have a big offensive game when you guard someone of Cooks' caliber," Hurley said. "We did a great job of blowing up ball screens, aggressively flat and high on dribble handoffs. Al did a great job."
Vital and Gilbert combined for five steals on Sunday, smothering the Highlanders backcourt all day. Head coach Dan Hurley said after the game that he got on those two at halftime, but was impressed by their response in the second half.
"Just sticking to the scouting report," Gilbert said on the key to shutting down the NJIT attack. "Knowing what they want to do as a team, and then just paying attention to detail."
Behind those two, the entire team has embraced a new identity as a defense-first unit. UConn is a top-25 team in the country in defensive efficiency, and has held opponents under 65 points in nine of 12 games this season.
"Start on defense, and let that create. That's been my mindset going into every game," Brendan Adams said. "Defense can get you involved in a game, if you feel like you're not getting enough touches or you're not active offensively, defense gets you involved to where your offense comes more naturally."
Though the veterans have led the charge, it's impossible to talk about the Huskies' defensive prowess without mentioning Akok Akok, who erases shots with apparent ease. Akok had six blocks in Sunday's win, and Adams said that having a player like Akok to clean things up behind you allows for greater on-ball pressure.
"He allows his talent to take over because he doesn't think about himself — he's not wrapped up in his numbers or his performance," Hurley said on what makes Akok special. "He's probably been close to, if not our best player, averaging seven points a game."
And of course, there are nights when the shot is falling for the veteran guards. Gilbert entered Sunday coming off a 21-point outburst against New Hampshire, and Vital took things over against NJIT, pouring in 23 points on 8-of-15 from the field. But with this team's depth, the Huskies are built to survive nights when neither have it working offensively, especially when they're engaged on the defensive end.

BkiUegLxK3YB9raX1z4k | Spring has already begun and ume or the plums are the heralds of this season. Starting from mid-February ume viewing sites will be opened all across Japan and will be as usual crowded with visitors. After the flower viewing, we can see plum fruits in green colour in most supermarkets. Ume fruits are a preventive food item which has antibacterial properties that can help to soothe the digestive system. It can be consumed in many different ways which all are really delectable.
The first enjoyment of spring starts with viewing the plum blossoms that are found all over Japan. Even though it seems like having similarity to the cherry blossoms, Ume are quite different from the Sakura flowers. The Ume flowers with round petals, unlike Sakura are easy to distinguish. Also different from the Sakura, they have a nice fragrance too. They are found in many varieties and colours. Colourful Ume flowers ranging from pale white to dark rose are really a feast to the eyes after the dry winter. Selection of a nice spot for viewing plum blossoms is a nice idea to enjoy the beauty of these flowers welcoming the spring season.
By mid-March, the blossoms will all be vanished and give their way to fruits. They are round green fruits which take a yellowish colour with a reddish tan. Most of these fruits can't be eaten like this. But there are some ways by which we can enjoy these fruits.
In the hot and humid Japanese summer, the plum syrup will be really refreshing. It is really worth trying to make it at home if you have some minutes to spend on that. Please watch the video and go ahead.
I tried making plum syrup last year and enjoyed it a lot. And will certainly do it this time too. The shrivelled plums that are taken out from the syrup are also delicious with a slight sweetness and sourness.
Umeshu is a famous beverage of Japan that is made from the plum fruits. The taste and smell of this alcohol made with Ume fruits are quite different from the other liquors. Many varieties of Umeshu are available. They can be found on the racks of the Japanese supermarkets as well as restaurants.
Umeboshi are the pickled Ume. We can find this in most of the Japanese Obento (lunchboxes). The reddish coloured Umeboshi over white cooked rice look awesome. Umeboshi is considered as a great preventive medicine which is helpful for digestion. It can be made at home also. Even though it is a time-consuming process, it can be preserved for more than two years. I found this video on YouTube that will be helpful for those who wish to try it.
Dried Umeboshi can be stored and enjoyed with Onigiri or Japanese white rice. If you can't spend that much time to make Umeboshi at home, you can find it in your nearest supermarket.
Umezuke is simply Umeboshi before it is getting dried. By escaping the process of drying up the Ume for making Umeboshi, it can be consumed as Umezuke which could also be preserved for a long time.
Umezu is the watery part left while making Umeboshi. This salty juice is preserved to add Ume flavour to various dishes.
In this season of Ume, enjoy viewing various varieties of the plum blossoms and taste the Ume. Ume is having a great part in the Japanese cuisine and it is considered as a gastrointestinal cleanser. As there are many ways for the Japanese to preserve Ume as Umeboshi, Umezuke and so on, it is obvious that seasons don't matter for tasting them. Apart from all these, we can find Ume flavoured snacks, drinks and desserts available all across Japan. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Re: cOg Mission
I first encountered game development and Unity just under 3 years ago - quite late to the party at 40 years of age! I was hooked (the grown-up equivalent of the wonder I felt as a child when discovering something new and interesting) and learned a lot about this new hobby very quickly. One day I came across Catlike Coding's hex map tutorial, and I suddenly knew I could one day make a very decent, proper game, for which I already had a basic idea. Months of learning about threads, meshes, shaders, lists, UI, etc. followed, and all the while I kept refining, expanding, generalising and improving functionality. It still feels so Unreal to have something Made with Unity (I'll see myself out...) that looks so polished and runs so smoothly even with huge maps and loads of buildings and units. Although I'm a solo Indie developer, I've had a lot of assistance in the form of bought assets, a bit of commissioned Blender work, a sound studio (working in films and trailers) being impressed enough with one of my videos that they offered up someone to work with me on the sound to gain some experience for themselves as well. And, of course, good quality tutorials, forums and documentation, if you know how to spot them - specifically Catlike Coding and Code Monkey. It's been an incredible journey and I feel the groundwork has been laid for the game to branch off into all kinds of interesting directions and mechanics. Through threading and optimization I can handle huge maps, dozens of buildings and hundreds of units. What it requires now is more variety (gameplay and visual), more "stuff to do" and the completion of the storyline.

BkiUd4O6NNjgBtyggDAD | A lightweight container is one which does not require additional external requirements like third party services, servers etc. Spring can be mostly used as is with very few external dependencies and is hence referred to as a lightweight container. EJB is considered heavy weight because it requires an application server for managing it. Another characteristic of lightweight container is that they are non-invasive which means application code is independent of the container. Even if later the container changes no changes in the code is required because we are not using any container specific APIs. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUejM4uzkg3srlWvwN | Pours a medium amber hue with a short-lived fizzy white head with some somewhat clingy lacing. Body clarity is brilliant with very little activity. Settled color is a golden amber color. Initially, the nose detects a warming pumpkin spices, full of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Overall, the spices have a somewhat mellow aroma and are balanced with a light malty presence. A warming alcohol presence was also detected, but not overpowering. Initial taste is moderately sweet with a plethora of spices, but the finish provides even more sweetness from the alcohol warmth and the heavy dose of malts. Actively carbonated and light to medium in body, the Smashed pumpkin ale is rather watery in texture. A very slick/oily film coats our palates, leaving a sweet sugary taste on our mouths. Slightly warming alcohol presence was noted, but it was rather subtle and not burning as you may expect.
What makes this different than the Shipyard Pumpkinhead? Double the ingredients, double the ABV (4.8 vs. 9.0), and a more subtle pumpkin spice characters. The smashed pumpkin (not smashing pumpkins) is true to it\'s name. If you attempt to drink this beer in one sitting (by yourself), you will be smashed - as a result of this powerful pumpkin.

Posted on January 22, 2016 by womenslawproject
Today is the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Pennsylvania plays no small part in the story of the right to choose in the United States. Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the case that set the current standard by which courts judge the constitutionality of abortion restrictions, evolved from a challenge to Pennsylvania law (the defendant Casey is former Pennsylvania governor Robert P. Casey, father of current U.S. Senator Bob Casey). In the 1992 Casey ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed the core of Roe, but changed the constitutional standard to permit states to pass additional regulations on abortion.
Meanwhile, on March 2, the Supreme Court of the United States will once again consider abortion when it hears oral arguments in Whole Woman's Health v. Cole.
In Whole Woman's Health v. Cole, the justices will review two provisions of HB2, a Texas law designed to shut down clinics that provide safe, legal abortion services under the guise of improving women's health. In doing so, they will answer the question reproductive rights advocates have been asking for the last several years: If the Constitution protects the right to abortion, how can our courts uphold laws that close down safe abortion providers and thereby deny many women access to care?
The Women's Law Project filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of 10 abortion providers in Pennsylvania. You can read about that here.
As we celebrate Roe today and look forward to the Supreme Court finally addressing the exponential rise of abortion restrictions, let's do a reality-check review of 10 facts about abortion and abortion access in Pennsylvania:
One: Pennsylvania is one of the most restrictive states in the country when it comes to abortion access. Of 14 abortion restrictions, Pennsylvania already enforces 11 and has proposed two more.
Two: In 2013, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that prohibits women from purchasing private health insurance coverage through the state exchanges—in other words, through the Affordable Care Act—that covers pregnancy termination. The Pennsylvania Legislature debated, then explicitly denied, an exception for the health of the pregnant woman.
Three: In 2011, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a controversial law mandating that freestanding abortion facilities adhere to architectural and personnel regulations established for ambulatory surgical facilities, despite opposition from all relevant medical associations. (A similar law is one of two provisions challenged in the upcoming Supreme Court case.)
Four: In 2012, Pennsylvania proposed one of the most invasive transvaginal ultrasound laws in the country. The proposed law would have not only required women seeking abortions to undergo mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds, but doctors would have had to document whether or not their patient looked at the screen during the procedure. F Governor Tom Corbett defended the bill by advising women to "just close their eyes" and deal with it. Advocates fired back, and the bill was shelved.
Five: Medicaid does not cover abortion. Public funding is available for abortion only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
Six: Though no public funds cover elective abortion—and a family can't purchase private insurance in the federally facilitated marketplace that covers abortion even when the health of the pregnant woman is threatened by continuing the pregnancy—every year in Pennsylvania, millions of dollars in taxpayer money goes to so-called "crisis pregnancy centers," faux-medical centers with a record of lying to women.
Seven: 82% of Pennsylvania counties have no abortion providers.
Eight: In the first half of 2011, the Pennsylvania Legislature spent one-third of its voting session days advancing abortion restrictions and debating how to limit poor women's access to abortion.
Nine: One of the only federal FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act cases to be brought during the Bush Administration arose out of a Pennsylvania abortion protester's blog which named a specific doctor, listed the doctor's home address, license plate number, and work schedule, and advised readers to shoot her in the head because she wears a bulletproof vest to work. Recently, anti-choice advocates have been attacking Pittsburgh's buffer zone. This month, Pennsylvania Senator Larry Farnese introduced a new bill to address clinic violence, targeted threats and intimidation, which has increased from 26.6% in 2010 to 51.9% in 2014.
Ten: Just days after three people were murdered and nine more injured in an attack on a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, wherein the alleged shooter reportedly regurgitated propaganda from debunked anti-choice videos released last summer, Pennsylvania Representative Kathy Rapp distributed a co-sponsorship memo announcing her intention to propose a 20-week abortion ban. The memo contains inflammatory, medically inaccurate information, and such bans are unconstitutional.

My Viewpoint: Steve Osborne looks at lab burgers and GM
IT'S BEEF, but not as we know it. Steve Osborne takes a look at whether the public will see lab burgers in the same light as GM food.
As populations rise and food demand increases correspondingly, a global search for solutions is under way to ensure that we can continue to meet this growth. Earlier this year, Professor Mark Post from Maastricht University used technology to grow enough tissue from beef stem cells to produce a burger, which was cooked and eaten by some willing volunteers.
While the commercialisation of such technology is many years away, it's undoubtedly starting a fascinating journey, and opening new channels of science in the food debate. Genetic modification (GM) is the closest comparison that can be made with Post's innovation, and that was a technology which was considered by some as a step too far.
Over the last 20 years, public awareness of sustainability has increased. Provenance has become a key word for the food industry and real strides are being made in meeting the "natural" agenda. There is, however, still doubt over the role of science in food, and the media is filled with recurring themes of food industry scandals and exposés of technologies previously considered as the force behind food, but now being scrutinised by an increasingly educated public.
During this period, the depth of meaning behind the term "sustainability" has evolved. It is increasingly realised that "having the capacity to endure" needs to account for population rises, water shortages and energy resources, and that this cannot be achieved through organic, fair trade or buying produce locally (certainly not at a global level). The environment secretary, Owen Paterson, acknowledged this when he suggested that GM crops should be given serious consideration. Times have changed, and GM crops may now hold some of the solutions.
The lab burger produced by Post is the ultimate "Frankenfood" and this is always going to resonate with public discord. However, the meat industry has been rocked by numerous issues – BSE and horsegate to name two – and these will be used by both sides of the debate. On the one hand, laboratory meat could overcome hygiene and feed issues and eliminate supply chain fraud. On the other, what potential issues may arise as the result of poor and unscrupulous lab practices? But, with promises of better land use and a more efficient energy return than farming, laboratory-grown meat will continue to gain funding and research as its usefulness and range of applications are explored and quantified.
It will take time, however. It has taken two decades for anyone to dare suggest that GM might be OK and that it could be time to restart the debate, not least because we now have 20 years' worth of data in hand. As a result, we might find that the new risk assessment may be very different from the original. This will undoubtedly be the course of the lab burger. It is many years off commercialising and at that stage in its development it will draw comparison to the GM debate, lacking data to support its safety record and long-term effect.
However, this prediction is only based on knowing what we know now. When we open this level of debate, it will be conducted based on the facts of the era. Food is, and will always be, an emotive topic, and something as radical as the lab burger, wh"ile exciting at a scientific level, will always be judged with cynicism and scepticism by the consumers – at first, anyway.

BkiUfLDxK3xgpbEREXV- | TANK plans route changes
Add yet another thing to the giant list of transit things I need to find the time to pick through: TANK has just released a brief description of proposed route changes that could take effect soon. They're conducting public meetings today through Sept 21st to inform people about the suggested changes and solicit feedback. Normally, and I am permitted to say this only as a planner who's not currently employed as a planner, such meetings are a principled show of democracy without much practical usefulness. Basically, people don't like change and the people who don't like these changes will show up to voice their complaints. The planners if they're any good will have expected this and already will have built most of the expected participants' concerns into the plan before they announced it. Thus, actually hearing the complaints that they expected doesn't change much, nor should it.
You, gentle readers, being the type of people who are clever enough and patient enough to follow along with my meandering buses of thought, may actually be able to positively effect the plans if indeed you can spot something they can do better and articulate an objective case for it to the people in charge. I therefore encourage you to attend one of the meetings listed through the links above.
One quick suggestion for both agencies: Drop the phrase "short-term" when you're describing permanent service changes. We know the routes aren't necessarily set in stone after these changes take effect. Is anything (metaphorically) set in stone really? We all die after all. These changes are as permanent as anything gets and that should be made clear so that people don't think you're doing less than you are.
Many more suggestions coming eventually once I get chance to think holistically :-) | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUa6TxK7DgtAAQHFas | Look, here's the deal. I love comics. I love pro wrestling, especially Japanese pro wrestling. Every moment of my spare time is dedicated to writing engaging pro wrestling articles, writing comics, and to bringing puroresu fans J-Shoot: The podcast all about Japanese professional wrestling.
I bring wrestling fans a range of articles and columns focusing on Japanese wrestling, indie wrestling, and of course the WWE. All my work can be found on KoalaMask.com.
J-Shoot is my weekly Japanese wrestling podcast hosted by myself and the Original Bonski. We talk all things Japanese wrestling, do interviews with stars like Kenny "The Cleaner" Omega, and have on great guests such as Straight Shoot's Aubrey Sitterson.
I also write comic scripts that will one day, hopefully, see the light of day, and I also have a weekly webcomic called Learn Your Brains Out! A completely emoticon and keyboard based comic strip, because I can't draw for s**t!
I've been doing all these things for a while now simply for the love and would be happy to continue in that fashion, my exceptionally lovely wife and son, on the other hand, would be much more pleased if I had something to show for all the work I put into these endeavours. And that's where you come in! In order to keep doing what I love, and to prevent my wife from getting all stabby, I need your support! Even the tiniest portion of your income, $1/Month, goes a really long way.
Don't make my wife stabby, support Koala Mask!
For $1, I'll follow you on Twitter. How about that?
For $2, I'll follow you on Twitter AND give you a shout out on J-Shoot! The podcast all about Japanese professional wrestling.
A STICKER! For $3, I'll send you a sticker designed by Koala Mask's younger brother. Stickers are randomly selected. Soz!
STICKERS! For $5, I'll send you three randomly selected stickers designed by Koala Mask's younger brother. Included in the three will be at least one Rainmaker and one YeaOh!
Okada fans, this one's for you! For $12, you'll get an "Rainmaker" Lightweight iPhone 4/4s Case, and a "Rainmaker" sticker.
The case is slim and light, so it only provides pretty basic protection. I've used the same one in the past and it did a fine job.
How about this? For $15, I'll send you a one of a kind "Keep Calm and Strong Style" Lightweight iPhone 6+ Case, and two randomly selected stickers!!!
The difference between this case and the $12 reward case is that this one is slimmer and lighter. That's either a good thing or a bad thing depending how you look at it. It's light and slim, which is good, but it doesn't offer as much protection as the other case.
I used the lightweight case with my old iPhone and it did the job fine. Personally, I'm using the protective case with my current phone because I'm still in that "must keep my new phone shiny and perfect" stage.
How about this? For $17, I'll send you a one of a kind (well, except for the one I'm using) "Keep Calm and Strong Style" Protective iPhone 6+ Case, and two randomly selected stickers!!!
I'm using this exact case, and honestly, it's pretty neat.
Prevent lovely wife from becoming stabby. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

Brown Safe has built safes and walk-in vaults to secure vintage motorcycles, art, wine, sunglasses, a shoe collection and a country's crown jewels. One client wanted a safe that matched the color of his Lamborghini and requested a special drawer to keep the keys to his large collection of cars. Another wanted a door to match the red of his wife's BMW. These home safes typically cost from $2,500 up to six figures, depending on the extent of personalization. Not surprisingly, safe suppliers and manufacturers do not go into detail about the construction and engineering of models and must keep developing new methods to beat professional thieves. Modern-day safes are sophisticated objects featuring layers of steel, mechanical combination locks, electronic push pads, biometric fingerprint readers, silent panic buttons and time locks. Robert Tompkin, of the New York-based Prestige Safe, which has been supplying safes since 1894, said people who buy mansions often have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewels and watches to secure. "Safety deposit boxes are dinosaurs, banks are getting rid of them, and people don't want the inconvenience of having to go to a bank every time they want to wear a piece of jewelry or a watch," Tompkin said. More: The Privileges of a Private Port The need to keep precious and valuable possessions safe is not new, said engineer Tim Hunkin, who has written a history of safes and the art of safe cracking. The modern safe evolved from wooden, and later iron, medieval chests. Security measures included knives that shot out if someone tampered with the lock. Richard Krasilovsky, owner of the New York retailer Empire Safe, which has been in business for more than a century, said some customers see safes as objet d'arts, something that they can put on display. Others ask his staff to deliver and install safes in the middle of the night so as few people as possible even know the safes are there. Berryhill, of Brown Safe, grew up in the safe-making business. She and her two brothers had to crack safes each year to access their Christmas stockings. "Some of our best days have been opening safes that have survived burglaries as well as fires," she said. "A few years back we opened a safe for a gentleman who lost his entire estate to the California wildfires and who literally had nothing. We were called out to open the safe and were able to give him perfectly preserved family photos and heirlooms."
Safe-buying tips:
What size safe should I purchase? Bigger is better. According to safe-suppliers, the most common feedback from customers is that they regret buying safes that are too small to hold all of their valuables. Where should I place my safe? A safe is often accessed once or twice a day, perhaps for watches or jewelry, so it needs to be in a location where you can use it easily. What kind of protection should I expect from a safe? Fire is the top concern of most buyers, especially homeowners who live in remote areas. Many safes are engineered to provide protection against both fire and forced entry. Often called composite safes or burglar/fire safes, these models have bodies and doors made of steel to deter break-ins, and inside there is a high-density concrete amalgamate that forms an insulation barrier, also shielding the contents from the effects of fire. What about quality assurance? Underwriters Laboratories is the pre-eminent, nonprofit testing laboratory in the U.S. that ensures safes perform to a certain standard. They blow them up, drop them, burn them and employ expert safe crackers to assess each model's performance. Is a safe a foolproof way to protect my valuables? No safe is completely impenetrable. Given enough time and the right equipment, thieves can open any safe. The purpose is to make it as hard as possible for a burglar so that he either gives up or is caught in the process.

Prof. David Turnbull & Partner Receive Major Support Award for Africa Work

David Turnbull, Professor at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, and Jane Harrison, who with Prof. Turnbull co-founded PITCHAfrica, have had their WATERBANK Schools project recognized by a special award of support in this year's Buckminster Fuller Challenge. The annual Challenge, organized by the Buckminster Fuller Institute, was established to, "support the development and implementation of a strategy that has significant potential to solve humanity's most pressing problems," according to the BFI website. The award ceremony, hosted by the Institute for Sustainable Design, will take place on November 18 at 7PM in The Great Hall. It is free and open to the public with an RSVP.
WATERBANK Schools is an outgrowth of PITCHAfrica's original mission to develop high-yield rainwater harvesting reservoirs that double as community centers and sports complexes in underdeveloped parts of Africa where clean water is at a premium. (See our story of September 2012.) WATERBANK projects use the same concept on a smaller scale. The first WATERBANK School, completed in Laikipia, Kenya in December 2012, in partnership with the Zeitz Foundation, provides classrooms, gardens, a theater and storage for 150,000 liters of water in a region where rainfall averages 600mm annually, according PITCHAfrica's website. Construction on two new WATERBANK School buildings, a dormitory for girls and a canteen, began construction Laikipia, Kenya in July.
The official award of the 2013 Buckminster Fuller Challenge went to Ecovative, a company that uses mushrooms to create packing materials, among other things. But, for the first time, the Challenge's corporate sponsor, Interface, Inc., elected to award an unexpected additional prize. "The WATERBANK School's simple design is an elegant and practical way of addressing sanitation, health, and education," Dan Hendrix, chairman and CEO of Interface, Inc., said. "We're pleased to support WATERBANK Schools by providing funding and access to experts who will help them expand WATERBANK Schools throughout the developing world."
"We are delighted to be receiving the Interface Support Award," Prof. Turnbull said. "We know that Interface's support will have a very significant impact on our ability to take the WATERBANK Schools Initiative to a new level of engagement, ultimately supporting the production of 'open-source' documentation including construction manuals that respond to variable climate and geo-physical conditions. The Award includes financial support and the opportunity for us to interact with the exceptional knowledge network that Interface Inc. have built over the past few decades."

BkiUcazxaL3SufhMoI6F | Exchanges are processing 'kids inventory' either knowingly or unknowingly. The current mechanism for publishers to surface this inventory to buyers is enabling a 'COPPA flag' – an optional setting in some ad servers (e.g. adding the tfcd=1 parameter to an ad tag).
This advises the buyer that the impression is assumed to be a child and should be treated differently. If a buyer sees this flag, in theory their system should be removing personal data, such as truncating the IP address or suppressing identifiers.
The fundamental issue is that a COPPA flag doesn't prevent data collection or data sharing. It's just a signal which may or may not be respected by any of the vast number of systems involved in the ad delivery chain. It's a classic case of trying to shoehorn an adult solution into a children's problem. Any profile-driven ad delivery architecture isn't compatible with the privacy needs of kids and the laws designed to protect them.
Instead of creating a dedicated zero-data infrastructure to serve our most vulnerable audience, we have an ineffective hack. In the meantime, 170,000 kids are going online for the first time every day. You can do the math.
This is precisely why we built dedicated technology specifically for the requirements of the children's audience (kidtech). Our server-side Kid-Safe Filter strips all trackers from ad tags before they ever reach the child, and removes personal data from all ad requests, creating a native level of compliance with both COPPA and GDPR-K. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUd9k4uzlhYyxW4W_Q | Which supplements are banned by the military? Better check this database
Mar 26, 2022 banned, check, database, Military, supplements
The Defense Department has issued an instruction that governs the use of dietary supplements among service members, creates a new training requirement and bars any on-base retailers from selling products with any banned ingredients.
The guidance, nearly a decade in the making, also requires the creation of an online database that service members can reference before using any sort of pre-workout or other supplement promising an edge.
"Dietary supplements include ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes," according to the instruction released earlier this month. "Dietary supplements are marketed in forms such as tablets, capsules, soft gels, gel caps, powders, and liquids."
A range of anabolic steroids are also on the list, as well as substances that are more commonly considered recreational drugs.
One of the ingredients has a close chemical make-up to the drug PCP, with the same sedative and hallucinogenic effects. Nine are classified as synthetic cannabinoids, which many troops will probably recognize from the the wave of popularity of drugs like Spice and K2 in the military going back a decade or so.
While those won't be confused for dietary supplements, there are some overlapping elements.
"The primary reason cannabinoid and synthetic stimulant guidance was put in the dietary DoDI is because many of these products … come in either food form, can be added to food, or can be directly ingested through the mouth," Maj. Charlie Dietz, a Pentagon spokesman, told Military Times on Thursday.
For instance, cannabidiol is an ingredient in some workout recovery products.
DoD has been developing dietary supplement guidance for the past decade, as the rise of bodybuilding culture — coupled with the wide array of products available — has raised the popularity of supplements among service members, with some data suggesting that dietary supplements are more popular in the military than in the general population.
Because the DoD database is so vast, the best bet is to manually enter all the ingredients of any supplement product to see if a banned substance comes up.
As for future training, several DoD organizations will coordinate to create and track it. It won't be an annual requirement, but part of professional education that troops will receive when they enter service, as well as periodically as they complete promotion requirements.
Military health and wellness staff will also receive safety training, according to the instruction.
For any troops prescribed a banned substance for a specific medical purpose, or who receives a substance as part of DoD-sanctioned research, according to the policy, use must be recorded in their electronic health records.

BkiUdoI4uBhjAuZO7T0Q | dojox/mvc/at pulls in "dojox/mvc/_atBindingExtension", which I guess is the key. If I require "dojox/mvc/_atBindingExtension" before "dijit/ColorPalette" it works. _atBindingExtension sets up the monkey patches dijit._WidgetBase for the mvc binding support, so I guess it makes sense that it would have to be done first, but I am not sure why it was working before the recent change to _PaletteMixin.
This was discussed with wildbill and asudoh, wildbill said the following: "The C3MRO code in dojo.declare(), converting multiple inheritance into single inheritance, is tricky, and I can't explain it completely. But probably _WidgetBase is now getting used as a mixin rather than being directly in the prototype chain. In other words, dojo.declare() making a copy of _WidgetBase when it creates subclasses. So this line (from atBindingExtension) doesn't affect classes that have already been declared:"
asudoh responded: "Thanks Bill for more insights. As Bill mentioned, C3MRO logic seems to be the culprit, ending up with duplicate incorporation of _WidgetBase in the prototype chain (C3MRO code has some logic to avoid that, but seems not successful in dijit/ColorPalette case). Attached the code that demonstrates the root cause. I'm not sure if we can fix it (I'm guessing not...). So, as Ed mentioned, guiding app developers to make sure dojox/mvc/at is imported earlier sounds the best solution for now."
So I will update the testcase to move to require for dojox/mvc/at higher in the list.
i wanted to make sure you realize that the patch you applied is still "broken". the deps are all loaded asynchronously so just moving them further up the list doesn't really properly fix the problem - you just get lucky more often.
overall there is still a general design flaw - patching prototypes after they have been subclassed/mixed in is not guaranteed to work when c3mro is in play. this has been one of my concerns with dojox/mvc from the beginning - it depends on patching prototypes and this approach is not guaranteed to work.
the only complete fix is that you have to explicitly fully load dojox/mvc/at before loading *any* widgets that depend on it's side effects. this is something that only a user can control and results in forcing the user to trigger the parser manually rather than using parseOnLoad: true (or don't use the parser at all).
advising users to move dojox/mvc/at further up the dependency list is probably not the best idea because it shows that we lack a full understanding of our own module system.
@neonstalwart, thanks for catching that, I'm gonna reopen this so it doesn't fall through the cracks.
BTW, I think another way to explain this is that declare([a, b, c], ... may create the new class using *copies* of a, b, and/or c.

BkiUa8Q4eIfiUOAdUn6l | A couple of years ago, I found myself walking behind Ephraim Halevy through London's Heathrow airport, fresh off a plane from Tel Aviv. Amusing myself with the irony of tailing the former head of the Mossad, I followed him through passport control. He barely merited a glance from the immigration official on duty. Mild and avuncular, the last thing he looked like was a spy. Effortless self-effacement; what an asset in his former profession.
He doubtless appeared similarly unremarkable to the young man who served us coffee at the Jerusalem hotel where we talked a few days ago, when two months of dogged phone-calling by my tenacious secretary finally persuaded him to set a time and meet with me. Even as we sat down, he protested his irrelevance, professing to doubt that anything he had to say, well over a year after he resigned as Ariel Sharon's National Security adviser and more than two years after he left the Mossad, could be of interest now to anyone but the historians.
Was the culprit Sharon's then-bureau chief, now senior adviser, Dov Weisglass, interviewer Ari Shavit inquired?
'I don't want to comment on personal questions,' Halevy politely responded.
What could this British-born most civil of civil servants, careful, though anything but miserly with his verbiage, have to add all these months later that could possibly top those damming charges?
An avalanche of concerns, as it turns out, most of them emanating from what he frets over and over is that abhorent, skewed road map. Concerns that go to the very heart of our future here, and that resonate the more profoundly because of his well-documented, longstanding admiration and respect for Sharon, and his endorsement of the basic strategy followed by Sharon as prime minister until summer 2002.
HALEVY'S ARGUMENTS are too carefully constructed, too precisely detailed, to present fully in this column (even at the inordinate length at which I have found myself writing here on recent Fridays). The Post will publish the complete interview on Sunday.
But to summarize, Halevy is convinced that Mahmoud Abbas, the shoo-in to succeed Yasser Arafat, is telling the absolute truth in PA leadership campaign speeches when he flatly rules out the prospect of aggresively confronting the terrorists of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Aksa Martyrs Brigades. But because Halevy also believes that Hamas is interested in taking a role in formal Palestinian goverance, he nonetheless predicts a continued decline in violence.
And, crucially, with that decline, he worries about escalating pressure on Israel to return to the dreaded road map – 'an aberration,' he calls it, a recipe for the kind of internationally imposed solution that previous Israeli governments always had the nous to avoid.
Time and again in our conversation, we move away from the benighted subject and off toward some other point on the Israeli diplomatic and political horizon, only for Halevy to drive us into road map territory again, and raise yet another pained objection to its construction and development: the 14 'irrelevant' Israeli objections; the debilitating consequences of the document's formal approval by the Security Council; the delusions of the prime minister and those (still unnamed) officials around Sharon who thought they would be able to assign roles to the various international players and thus control the way the initiative would develop.
'This is not the way international affairs play themselves out,' Halevy says with exasperation.
And time and again, he catches himself, stops, murmurs, 'But that's history' or a similar phrase, and moves off again, only to return later.
Perhaps more than any other player, Halevy may be credited with smoothing the path to Israel's 1994 peace treaty with King Hussein's Jordan (and with saving it three years later after Mossad agents botched a daylight assassination attempt on Hamas's Khaled Mashal on the streets of Amman). And the only avenue of escape he offers now from the road map trap is via another Arab peace treaty – with Syria.
WHILE THE United States is publicly indicating that it doesn't want Israel to so much as smile in the direction of Damascus, Halevy is of the opinion that, in truth, Washington would be anything but inconvenienced by a renewal of Israeli-Syrian talks. And he offers a whole list of potential benefits to Israel, as well.
'If we can get a peace with Syria, the inevitable result,' he says, 'would be that the Syrian-Iraqi border will be closed from insurgent activity, and that would be a major plus for the US – a major factor in deciding the war inside Iraq.
'It would be a major blow to Iran, because Syria is the main Iranian ally in the Arab world.
'And it would signal the beginning of the end of Hizbullah capability, which is extremely important, because the way things are at the moment Hizbullah is the single example of a non-state which has a balance of mutual deterrence with a state, with us. If we can catch this bird as well, then we will have caught three birds in one [go].
So much to gain, but what of the price?
And Bashar Assad wants this to happen?
I ask him about the interim dimensions of this state with 'provisional borders.' Is he thinking of areas A and B, as defined by the 1995 Oslo II accord, which represent about 42 percent of the territories?
Eerily, as I sit to write these lines, our reporter Etgar Lefkovits has just filed his exclusive interview with Ehud Olmert, in which the minister speaks of the need for a second stage of disengagement 'on a wider scale' than the withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria, arguing that this offers the only realistic alternative to a yet more massive pullback as a result of the road map.
HALEVY SPENT most of his working life in the Mossad – in the US and Europe – rising to deputy head before leaving to become Israel's ambassador to the European Union in Brussels, then returning as Mossad chief after the Mashal fiasco, and finally spending that brief period as Sharon's National Security adviser. It was an extraordinary career, but he's still barely into his 70s.
And while he wonders at one point in our interview about whether he sounds 'old-fashioned,' and often sounds much more like a lifelong academic than the assured strategist and fixer he was for so long, I come away from our conversation quite convinced that Ephraim Halevy is far more astute than many of those who have succeeded him in key positions. That his departure was premature and surely constituted a grave loss to the prime minister. And that if he is this worried about Israel's governance and future, we should all be. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
