While writing about security – which takes a great deal of my time lately, which is one of the reasons I haven't updated my blog as often as I usually would – I came to the conclusion that, while I recommend using STL algorithms, iterators and containers for safety purposes that doesn't solve the problem when the standard algorithms don't check the validity of their output ranges. So, I decided to do something about it: Microsoft Visual Studio has shipped with a checked iterator type since 2005 but turns it off by default when you're not debugging and other compilers don't ship with that kind of iterator – so I decided to write a simple-yet-universal iterator type that will work on most compilers, including older ones, and provide the extra safety for very little extra cost.

How Minecraft Shapes Your Digital Transformation Framework
Learn how Minecraft helps drive a digital transformation framework & organizational change from Patrick Kitchell, Senior Technical Specialist at Microsoft
By Patrick Kitchell
Feb, Tue 18, 2020
Digital transformation is hard. And it gets harder in large organizations afraid of adopting/adapting to new systems and organizational routines. Patrick Kitchell, Microsoft, shows how Minecraft helps shape a digital transformation framework.
Who is Patrick Kitchell?
Patrick Kitchell is a Senior Technical Specialist at Microsoft Denmark and self-declared Chief Question Asker.
He believes that everything has purpose and meaning - it starts with our mindset and then our toolset. He joined Microsoft because it has given him the opportunity to meet many new people and work with many new tools that open limitless future possibilities for those willing to see the future and pull themselves closer to future possibilities.
Minecraft Drives Your Digital Transformation Framework
Minecraft is a computer game that my teenager starting playing back in 2010 when I began to notice something life-changing in the behavior of my son and so much so – I even created a slide in a slide deck over the "Minecraft phenomenon".
Minecraft is basically "Digital Legos" and in collaborative mode allows people from all over the world to play together building structures of all sorts. The magic in Minecraft is you can build and destroy very quickly. My son was building collaboratively with kids from all over the world while communicating with them over Skype.
Skype was used for communication and teamwork that helped with collaboration and making new friends in the digital space. At the same time, he began to watch tons of YouTube videos to learn about Minecraft. An entire community around Minecraft was created where players created learning videos, collaborated on streams, bragged about their creations. These were organic communities for Minecraft and my son and his friends were highly engaged in both the community and the game. Finally, there was the game itself which had a strong feedback loop from the community as a natural part of the continuous development of the game. The history of Minecraft is a fascinating glimpse into the first "digital transformed" product ever built. They relied on the community to help them further Minecraft and the community felt deeply connected to the game and the designers.
In my eyes, Minecraft is the forefather to the process of digital transformation and can benefit a digital transformation framework because it incorporates the use of digital communications and tools to collect feedback, collaborate and trial by error build with a community-first attitude. This Minecraft Mindset of Digital Transformation can be summed up in the following diagram:
If your organization is focusing on digital transformation, then it might be good to stop up and ask how well you are to empower your employees to follow this pattern:
Crowdsource ideas: collaborate across teams to gather ideas
Build together: work together in teams to bring ideas to life
Release this idea as Minimal viable products (MVP) for others to test
Update/Edit/ Fix OR Delete
Release the updates or start over
This process brings together the process and mindset needed to drive transformation in an organization and digital transformation is using the modern set of tools available to drive collaboration, feedback and given toolsets to fail fast and cheap when taking crowdsourced ideas and trying to produce an MVP.
Understanding the Digital Feedback Loops
Today, there is no doubt that data and being data-driven is an important part of the transformation today. The reason is that systems today have moved from static systems of record – like a CRM system that is really a phone book and very reactive to "intelligent systems". Intelligent systems are systems that can gather feedback and relay this information in proactive actions for individuals.
Microsoft (where I work) calls this the digital feedback loop. Since data is centerpiece and data is coming from everywhere, humans need intelligent systems to help them read the signals and help them understand what should be done and/or could be done next. It is this aspect of increased data and increased intelligent systems that are shaping one fast moving aspect of digital transformation.
The building of Minecraft was a lesson in the digital feedback loop. Digital transformation is about harnessing the new potentials that arise in a scalable way. The real challenge is that truly harnessing these new possibilities requires a mix of adopting/adapting to new systems and a change in both organizational routines and human behavior, which I will discuss below.
Let's Come Down One Level
The human aspect of digital transformation is found in how humans act as change agents. How do humans take all the digital signals and learn to "trust" the intelligence that comes from these new systems? The answer is partly found in the blueprint of organizational transformation and the blueprint for future organizational transformation is available for all organizations to follow.
There is no real mystery to what changes need to take place internally for real transformation to take place. The major challenges are that the digital transformation relies on organizational transformation, which relies heavily on organizational cultural and individual mindset changes to have the most impact and these are no easy tasks.
SO … What is the Blueprint?
When looking at the Minecraft Mindset of Transformation there are some key elements that organizations and humans need to adopt and I call this the "Blueprint." The blueprint for digital transformation when implemented drives the transformation process forward through humans and has a profound impact on both the organization and people working in the organization. I believe that this blueprint consists of three overlapping elements that need focus:
Digital transformation is about harnessing the new potentials that arise in a scalable way. The real challenge is that truly harnessing these new possibilities requires a mix of adopting/adapting to new systems and a change in both organizational routines and human behavior.
Patrick Kitchell
Collaboration is complex because true collaboration requires a certain level of trust and respect in those we are collaborating with. Everyone knows what is like to be in a group or project where they are not heard and their ideas are not valued. Therefore, the openness, transparency, acceptance of others and communication around and in collaboration plays a key part in the transformation process. Communication is a habit and organizations foster a style of communication that reveals the inner workings. For example, is communication top down? How are new ideas accepted and communicated? How does knowledge spread? Can you write the CEO without going through the chain of command? Do you rely heavily on email to make decisions?
Because of the digitalization of collaboration in tools like Microsoft Teams the traditional ways of collaborating and communication are dying these new tools give a rise to opportunities to collaborate in ways that strengthen the transformation process across all layers of an organization.
Failure to Learn
Failure to learn is a key element in the transformation process. Like collaboration and communication, this element goes to the very heart of any organization. Organizations that punish employees for taking risks and failing hinder innovation from springing up and thriving in their organization. Allowing people and teams to experiment to fail allows them to learn what works and what doesn't work and by sharing these throughout the organizations helps everyone from not having to repeat the same mistakes.
Companies that encourage failure as a powerful learning tool increase the trust and respect throughout the organization where individuals feel empowered to experiment thus finding better routines, new ideas flourish and spread.
How many of us have seen larger organizations buy an innovative start-up only to kill it by trying to incorporate them into the existing organization structure? I have seen many organizations that take a risk on a new idea and separate the team from the rest of the organization not to suffocate them with inertia of the existing organization. The bottom line is that to transform you must encourage people to experiment and with all experimentation comes failure. To punish the failure is to signal that innovation is not welcome and those that fail will be degraded or let go.
Feedback is a Superhero
Lastly, feedback and the power of listening. Feedback is the most powerful part of this puzzle. Mature organizations have a culture of feedback that allows people to give balanced and constructive feedback both internally and externally. Looking at internal feedback can be a challenging cultural change as it requires a level of trust to be able to give feedback knowing you would get retaliated against for offering feedback and that your feedback will be taken seriously. It is a fine line and good companies offer training on feedback and drive a feedback culture. External feedback, feedback from the outside world is ever more difficult and yet this is a key element to driving deep transformative change by involving the outside world in making your products and services better. Take the example of Microsoft Windows Insider Program, Microsoft's global beta program with millions of members who receive and give feedback on the early builds of Windows.
These three blueprint components are the fundamental drivers of transformational change within the organization because it forces change at all levels both structurally in the hierarchy and at individual mindset /behavioral levels. I can imagine that many organizations on this journey struggle to know the progress they are making and there need to be programs in place to help see the progress. One way is to reflect on what can be unlocked by driving changes in these 3 areas.
Harnessing the potential of digital transformation taking place in industries and technology is not easy. It is not easy because it requires change in both systems and people. Many large organizations have process inertia that makes them slow by nature and with the rate of technological change, it is challenging for industry leaders.
What is needed is a Minecraft Mindset. The ability to build quick solutions to simple or complex challenges in collaboration and change or destroy those solutions without being punished for it. It is hard because it requires employees to accept feedback from both external and internal sources and accept that feedback is a key mechanism for transformation. Also, a manager's role has to change to coach people to be open-minded and encourage trying and accepting failure without punishing employees for trying because the ability to allow people to try and fail as a key learning mechanism is difficult yet critical.

It seemed Franklin always talked about his greatest contrast with most of his encounters of people were his different perceptions on religion. However, I don't know if I missed it, but I really didn't get any great explanations in part1 as to why he disagreed with religion so much, and what his view points were on it.
There is no doubt that Franklin believed in a higher power who had dominion over the universe. I think that Franklin's problem with religion was with those who chose to spread the knowledge of God. In the second section of his autobiography he refers to a minister who encourages him to attend church on a regular basis. Franklin takes the minister's advice and attends a number of services, but becomes very bored with what he hears. I think that in order for someone to provoke Franklin to endorse a specific religion, that man or women would have to present an argument for their religion that could not be dismantled by Franklin's Socratic form of argument.
BF seems to be a very matter of fact kind of guy. He wants to see things and ideas in front of him because he is a logical man who wants to succeed. With motivations like these, why would one choose to believe in a topic that can't be seen? Even with his virtues, he seemed to believe that those were all you needed to be a decent human, you don't need religion to prove decency. | RedPajamaC4_-5619748151481287075 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Fairmont Dumpster Rental to Get Excited About!
Dumpster Rental Prices in Fairmont - A Quick Guide.
Rent a 10, 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpster in Fairmont, MN Today!
We service all of Fairmont. Give us a call today to get the dumpster rental process started!
If you rent a 30 yard dumpster, you will be getting a container that will carry 30 cubic yards of waste or debris. Your 30 yard container will measure about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. These amounts could vary somewhat depending on the dumpster rental company in Fairmont you pick. A 30 yard dumpster will carry between 9 and 15 pickup truck loads of waste, therefore it is a great choice for whole-dwelling residential cleanouts as well as commercial cleanup projects.
If you would like to rent a dumpster in Fairmont, you'll discover that prices vary substantially from state to state and city to city. One method to get genuine quotes for the service you need will be to phone a local dumpster company and ask regarding their prices. You can even request a quote online on some sites. These sites may also comprise complete online service that's always open. On these sites, you can pick, schedule and cover your service whenever it's suitable for you.
Factors that affect the price of the container comprise landfill fees (higher in some regions than others) and also the size of the container you choose. You have to also consider transport costs and also the type of debris you'll be placing into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Fairmont commonly comprise the following: the size of the container, the type of debris involved, the base price for the dumpster, how much weight is contained in the estimate, a given rental period and delivery and pickup fees.
It is difficult to beat a roll off dumpster when you've got a large undertaking that'll create plenty of debris. Most rental companies include dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the prices, in order to avoid additional fees. Roll off dumpsters generally have time limitations because firms have to get them back for other customers. This is really a potential downside if you're not great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster bags in many cases are convenient for small occupations with loose deadlines. In the event you don't desire lots of room for debris, then the bags could function nicely for you. Many businesses are also pleased to let you maintain the bags for as long as you want. That makes them useful for longer projects.
Dumpster rental businesses commonly have set costs, but the fine art of negotiation is constantly in play. In case you would like to dicker on the price, call around to other firms first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you are speaking to the company you intend to use, merely mention other costs which are better than theirs. Some firms will not only fit that lower price, they're going to actually defeat it to please their customers.
You may also ask about discounts when you are renting a dumpster in Fairmont. Some firms will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the local Chamber of Commerce and more. It really never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this procedure.
You can even save on the price by asking about the very best way to prevent added expenses (like tipping fees or overage costs) and making sure you order the right size container; you don't desire to pay for more container than you actually need.
When you rent a roll off dumpster, you may be tempted to throw anything and everything indoors. Common items that individuals usually dispose of in a dumpster include solid waste material and most routine household and construction waste, together with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They are able to also be used for business and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting cleared of trash when you are moving to another home, larger landscaping jobs and more.
A list of things you CAn't put in a roll off dumpster comprises paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronics and batteries. Should you make an effort to contain these things, you'll probably end up with an additional fee. Other items that will certainly incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Extra heavy substances are also not permitted; things that are too heavy may surpass government transfer regulations and be dangerous to haul.

Q: Chi-squared distribution related to the mean of an exponential sample I'm trying to solve the following problem :
Let $T$ be the units of time until some device fails. This random variable has the following distribution density:
$f(t,\phi) = \frac{1}{\phi}e^{-\frac{t}{\phi}},t>0,\phi>0$
I estimated $\phi$ using the sample mean with the maximum likelihood estimator based on a sample $\{T_1,T_2,T3,\dots,T_n\}.$
Well, now it asks me to prove that the random variable $U=\frac{2\sum_{k=1}^nT_k}{\phi}$ has a chi squared distribution with $2n$ degrees of freedom? I don't have any idea of how I might prove this. Can someone offer some indications / a solution?
Not necessarily complete, but it would be really helpful to contain as many steps of the proof as possible! Or at least enough to help me understand how to solve it.
Thanks!
A: The exponential distribution with rate $\lambda = 1/\varphi = 1$ has a
chi-squared distribution with 2 degrees of freedom.
(See Wikipedia on 'exponential distribution' or
your text.)
Accordingly,
the distribution of the sum of $n$ independent exponential random variables
is related to a chi-squared distribution with $2n$ degrees of freedom.
You can prove this using moment generating functions.
Just to illustrate: Below is a histogram resulting from many samples of
size $n = 5$ from $\mathsf{Exp}(\lambda = 1/3)$ and the corresponding
values of $U$. The density of $\mathsf{Chisq}(df = 10)$ is superimposed
on this histogram. (Of course, this figure is not a proof, but it
is an indication that the distribution of $U$ is as stated in the problem.)
Note: In case it is of any interest, here is the code used to make the figure in
R statistical software:
m = 10^6; n = 5; phi=3
t = replicate( m, sum(rexp(n, 1/phi)) )
u = 2*t/phi
mean(u); var(u)
## 10.0039 # aprx mean of CHISQ(10); exact = 10
## 19.96353 # aprx variance of CHISQ(10) exact = 20
hist(u, prob=T, col="skyblue2")
curve(dchisq(x, 2*n), add=T, lwd=2, col="maroon")

A man after my own heart. We did the same thing and have money to show for it.
Cars are built so much better than they were twenty years ago that it is no longer true that a slightly used car is the best deal because of the "drive off the lot" immediate depreciation. Also, demand is high for used cars (especially fuel efficient models) because people with bad credit can usually find a lender for a used car more easily than for a new vehicle. And the profit margin is much higher in used vehicle than for new for the dealership. If you can get a good interest rate, you can get just as much value out of a new car as with a used car because you will get more mileage in before the wear and tear items come up (tires, brakes, timing belt, etc.).
As for home buying, the best strategy is to buy the home that you can afford, that you like, in the neighborhood you like so that you will be happy in life. Life is too short to spend 15-30 years living in a stinker just to hopefully cash in and make a few buck when you move to the condo by the beach with the shuffle board courts.
That is also good advice for car buying, except that many people won't quite get fifteen years out of a car. If you are a car enthusiast, buy the car that you can afford that you most love. Drive it until someone totals it. Depreciation is simply a non-issue if you intend to drive it forever. If you are the kind of person who considers cars an appliance and you want the least hassle, then lease and trade in every three years or so. You will have continuous payments but you will have maximum reliability and warranty coverage, and possibly even a significant amount of routine maintenance covered.
My car is nearly 15 years old, and it runs great. | RedPajamaC4_4468985578164054712 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

# Why?
Preloading deeply nested relationships is possible w/ ember-data, but it can be a little messy
For example, if we have a `List` model, each record of which has many `ListItem`s, each of which has an `Assignee`, and we wanted to load all of the relevant data by the time the route was done resolving, we'd have to do something like this:
```js
Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
// Load lists
return this.store.findAll('lists').then((lists) => {
// Get promises for loading all list-items owned by the lists,
// and wait for them all to resolve
return Ember.RSVP.all(
lists.map((l) => l.get('list-item'))
.reduce((prev, cur) => prev.concat(cur))
).then((listItems) => {
// Get promises for loading all assignees of the list-items,
return Ember.RSVP.all(
listItems.map((listItem) => listItem.get('assignee'))
.reduce((prev, cur) => prev.concat(cur))
);
}).then(() => lists);
});
}
});
```
# Use
First, install this addon in your ember-cli app
`ember install ember-data-preload`
And then, you may preload relationships (i.e., in a route)
```js
import preload from 'ember-data-preload';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return preload(this.store.findAll('lists'), {'list-items': 'assignees'});
}
});
```
Particularly when relationship hierarchies are deep, this can be particularly time-saving
```js
import preload from 'ember-data-preload';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return preload(this.store.findAll('country'), {
city: {
neighborhood: {
street: 'house'
}
}
});
}
});
```

Apple Maps is highlighting pharmacies, food delivery, and hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic
Evan Selleck on April 7, 2020
The global coronavirus pandemic is ongoing, which means some companies are still making changes and adjustments to help their customers adapt.
Apple is no different. As first reported by iPhone Ticker recently, Apple has made a somewhat subtle change to the order of categories that pop up when using Apple Maps. The goal is to move less practical search results during the pandemic further down the list, while moving more practical options near the top. Grocery stores have climbed their way to the top, for instance, while a brand new option, Food Delivery, is just below that.
Pharmacies and hospitals are next up in the shuffled categories, with Urgent Care just below that. You'll find categories for restaurants and fast food, then gas stations. It's a subtle change, to be sure, but one that could be pretty helpful for some Apple Maps users looking for these locations.
The aforementioned food delivery option will show users which restaurants near them are offering the option. It's a super helpful option, and one has to hope that Apple will actually keep this category around in the future.
As noted today by 9to5Mac, Apple Maps' changes are solid in their own right, but comparisons have to be made, and the go-to option is Google Maps. Google's option is highlighting restaurants that are currently offering delivery and takeout. And in addition to that, Google Maps is making it very clear which businesses are temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Apple Maps isn't doing the same thing, unfortunately, so some businesses that are closed are still showing as being open.
While Apple Maps might be trailing a bit behind Google Maps in some ways, it's still good to see the mapping and navigation app making changes to reflect these troubling times. Plus, Apple is also doing quite a bit more in light of the global coronavirus pandemic, including launching a website dedicated to helping visitors, and a brand new screening app. And back in March we reported that Siri can now respond to queries related to COVID-19.
Tim Cook also confirmed the company had donated over 20 million masks to healthcare workers.
'Look Around' feature in Apple Maps is now available in Phoenix, Arizona
Google Maps now offers a 'more detailed, colorful' experience

About Asylum
Immigration Laws & Rights
This article answers questions about asylum.

Where can I read the law about asylum?
Asylum is legal protection granted by a nation to someone who has left their native country as a refugee.
A refugee is any person who is outside of their country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution because of one or more of the following factors:
Membership in a particular social group
Anyone who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States may apply for asylum. However, asylum is only granted to those who can show they are a refugee.
You can apply for asylum up to one year after you have arrived in the United States. After one year of arrival, asylum is no longer available except in special circumstances.
First, you must be physically present in the United States.
Second, you must show that you are afraid of returning to your native country because of past persecution or the reasonable possibility of future persecution.
Third, you must show you were (or will be) persecuted by the government of your native country or a group the government is unable or unwilling to control.
Finally, you must show that the persecution was (or will be) on account of one of the five protected grounds, which include your:
There is no one definition for persecution; however, some courts have described persecution as a threat to the life or freedom of those who are considered different in a way that can be seen as offensive. The determination of whether harm amounts to persecution is made on a case-by-case basis.
Some examples of harm include serious physical harm, forced medical or psychological treatment, overly harsh punishment by the police or the government, and severe criminal extortion or robbery.
Individuals fleeing domestic violence or gang violence may still qualify for asylum. However, there have been recent legal developments that have affected these claims. See Matter of A-B, 27 I&N Dec. 316 (A.G. 2018). Therefore, it is recommended that an individual fleeing this type of violence speak with an attorney about how the recent change in the law may affect their case.
A particular social group is a group of people who share something in common that they cannot or should not have to change. Some examples of particular social groups include your gender, sexual orientation, tribal group, or your family. In addition, the group must have social visibility and particularity.
Social visibility requires that the group be perceived as a group in society.
Particularity refers to whether the group can be clearly defined. It should be easy to tell who is in the group and who is not in the group.
No! Political opinion includes the support of "fundamental rights." But having a political opinion is not enough. You must also show a connection between your political opinion and the persecution you are experiencing.
Generally, no. You will still need to show that the persecution was based on one of the five protected grounds and that the person or group of persons persecuting you was either the government or a group that the government is unable or unwilling to control.
Generally, no. Proving you are eligible for asylum is only the first step in applying for asylum. The judge hearing your case or the asylum officer reviewing your application has discretion—meaning that they will look at and balance all other positive and negative factors of your specific case and decide whether you should be granted asylum.
If your spouse and children are in the United States, you can include them in your asylum application; however, you will have to have proof of the relationship, such as your marriage certificate or your child's birth certificate. Additionally, your child must be under the age of 21 and not married.
If your spouse and children are not in the United States, you can file a petition for a Refugee/Asylee Relative (form I-730) on their behalf only after your asylum application is approved.
Yes! One of the benefits of being granted asylum is that you may work in the United States immediately after being granted asylum. If you have applied for asylum but have not yet received a decision, you can apply for a work permit 150 days after you filed your application but will have to wait an additional 30 days before work authorization is granted. To apply for a work permit, you should file form I-765.
Yes! If you are past the 1-year asylum application deadline, you can apply for Withholding of Removal and/or Convention Against Torture. You will use the same form, I-589, for Withholding of Removal and Convention Against Torture. You may also be eligible to apply for asylum, even after the 1-year deadline, if you can show you qualify for one of the exceptions (changed or extraordinary circumstances) to this rule.
Withholding of Removal is another form of legal protection that allows a person to remain in the U.S. if they have suffered past persecution or if they fear future persecution. However, withholding of removal does not have a 1-year filing deadline rule. Withholding of Removal can be requested any time after you have arrived in the United States, but you must be in immigration court to apply for this type of relief. But you will still have to show the same evidence that is required for asylum.
You will receive some, but not all, of the same benefits as asylum if you qualify for Withholding of Removal. For example, you will be allowed to apply for and renew a work permit, but you will not be allowed to apply for adjustment of status (green card) or U.S. citizenship.
Additionally, unlike asylum, a grant of Withholding of Removal does not allow you to apply for certain immediate relatives to join you in the U.S. You also cannot travel outside the U.S. if you win your case under Withholding of Removal.
You will receive some, but not all, of the same benefits as asylum if you qualify for CAT. For example, you will be allowed to apply for and renew a work permit, but you will not be allowed to apply for adjustment of status (green card) or U.S. citizenship.
Additionally, unlike asylum, a grant of CAT does not allow you to apply for certain immediate relatives to join you in the U.S. You also cannot travel outside the U.S. if you win your case under CAT.
You do not have to have to hire an attorney to file your asylum application. However, immigration laws are always changing. All immigration cases, including asylum cases, can be complicated. It's a good idea to talk with an immigration attorney about your situation (even if you decide not to hire one). An immigration attorney can explain your rights and options.
You can read more about asylum in Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The University of Houston Law Center's Immigration Clinic has also contributed this presentation on the asylum process.

Metro area shuts down as Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas and Jefferson counties follow Denver with stay-at-home order
Broomfield, Larimer counties jump in too, effectively shutting down the Front Range from Denver to the Wyoming border until at least April 17.

Original Reporting This article contains new, firsthand information uncovered by its reporter(s). This includes directly interviewing sources and research / analysis of primary source documents.

Updated on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, at 5:46 p.m.: Gov. Jared Polis issued a statewide stay-at-home order that goes into effect Thursday, March 26, and lasts until at least April 11.
More than 2 million Coloradans will be under a stay-at-home order starting at 8 a.m. Thursday after officials in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas and Jefferson counties announced public health mandates that follow Denver's lead.
COVID-19 IN COLORADO
The latest from the coronavirus outbreak in Colorado:
MAP: Cases and deaths in Colorado.
TESTING: Here's where to find a community testing site. The state is now encouraging anyone with symptoms to get tested.
VACCINE HOTLINE: Get up-to-date information.
>> FULL COVERAGE
The new directives, an effort to slow the spread of the new coronavirus as it rapidly spreads across Colorado forces and increasing number of hospitalizations, will last until at least April 17.
The orders were unveiled Wednesday morning by Tri-County Public Health, Jefferson County Public Health and Boulder County Public Health. Tri-County oversees public health for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.
"The reason for implementing these orders is similar to those that have driven Denver … and, frankly, cities and states across the country," Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, told reporters during a conference call. "We do have widespread transmission of COVID-19 throughout parts of Colorado, certainly the metro area and all three of our counties. … We're aware of community impact, but we strongly believe that by flattening the curve we can begin to reduce the number of people who will get sick from COVID."
Douglas said there's a real possibility that if health officials don't act now, Colorado's health care system will be overrun by COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, in a way similar to Italy's. Time, he emphasized, is of the essence.
"Should we have acted a couple days ago? Maybe. Probably so," he said. "Do we lose time with each day that we fail to act? I think we do, and that's why we're acting today."
As of Tuesday evening, there were more than 900 people who have tested positive for the virus in Colorado or are considered positive cases because they have symptoms of COVID-19 and are a close contact of someone who has the disease. Experts say many more are likely already infected but have not been tested.
Twelve deaths are attributed to the coronavirus. The disease is known to be present in 35 of Colorado's 64 counties.
What the orders mandate
The orders unveiled on Wednesday are almost identical to the one issued by Denver on Monday.
Under the public health directives, people still are allowed to leave their homes to walk their pets, get food, seek medical care, take care of relatives, buy alcohol and marijuana, and go outdoors for exercise as long as they are at least 6 feet away from people who don't live in their households.
Public transit, banks, gas stations, mortuaries and hotels are exempt.
Trips for nonessential retail purchases — like clothing — are not allowed. People also may not leave their homes to go to jobs that are deemed nonessential.
A notable difference between the Denver order and the ones in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas and Jefferson counties is that licensed gun and ammunition retailers are considered essential business that can stay open. People living in rural communities told public health officials they were worried about protecting livestock from predators, Douglas said Wednesday morning.
Those who disobey the orders can be fined or jailed. In Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas and Jefferson counties, violating the order is a Class 1 misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
But Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown said he was hopeful that social pressure would keep law enforcement from having to get involved.
"There are fines. There (is) the ability for us to enforce these. That's not our goal," Brown said. "Our goal is to make sure people are adhering to the order and that we're trying to get through this as quick as possible."
Broomfield County said it, too, was enacting a stay-at-home order for the same period as their neighboring counties. Theirs is far less restrictive, however. Health officials in Broomfield warned they could make it a shelter-in-place order if people do not adhere. Larimer County also issued a stay-at-home order effective from 5 p.m. Thursday until April 17.
The combined orders mean the Denver metro area north to the Wyoming border is effectively shut down for at least several weeks. And that was intentional.

Calls for governor to act
Polis on Sunday declined to issue a statewide stay-at-home or shelter-in-place order as governors in other states have done.
He said the threat of death was more powerful than that of possible jail time or fines in keeping people inside. "What will inspire people to do this, and what will lead people to do this, is not fear of a policeman taking you to jail," Polis said. "That's not happening in Chicago. It's not happening in Seattle. It's not happening anywhere. It is fear of the Grim Reaper; an informed fear of the death and devastation that this virus can cause."
Polis, nevertheless, urged Coloradans not to leave their homes unless it's absolutely necessary. He also applauded Denver's order and praised other local jurisdictions — like Gunnison, Pitkin and San Miguel counties — that have also enacted stay-at-home directives.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis speaks to reporters about the new coronavirus on Sunday, March 22, 2020. (Jesse Paul, The Colorado Sun)
On Wednesday, however, there were growing calls for Polis to reconsider his position and make the orders statewide.
"Citizens in counties run by officials who are taking cues from the Trump White House are in danger. Only you can break through the noise," state Sen. Jessie Danielson, a Wheat Ridge Democrat, tweeted to Polis.
It is time, @GovofCO, to issue a statewide guidance. Counties like mine who want it, need it. More importantly, citizens in counties run by officials who are taking cues from the Trump White House are in danger. Only you can break through the noise. #copolitics https://t.co/coXD6p7V0R
— Sen. Jessie Danielson (@JessieDanielson) March 25, 2020
Douglas, from Tri-County, warned that there could be confusion among people given that there are different rules in different jurisdictions. For instance, people traveling from Denver to Boulder will pass through Broomfield County, where restrictions are different that those of neighboring counties. Also, many people live in counties outside of the Denver area and commute into the city.
"Frankly, (that's) why I think a statewide order could have been and would still be an advantage in terms of working together clearly, effectively and protectively as health care resources," Douglas said.
Douglas said, however, that absent a blanket order from Polis, the health departments in the metro area were using the powers granted to them by Colorado statute to take action on their own.
Conversely, a handful of Republican state lawmakers from Douglas County — including one who has tested positive for the virus — called on their county commissioners to break off from Tri-County Public Health and form a new public health agency as a result of the stay-at-home order.
"Unelected bureaucrats should not have the unilateral authority to simply decide to enact policy that would imprison citizens for 18 months and fine them 5,000," Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, said in a tweet.
Unelected bureaucrats should not have the unilateral authority to simply decide to enact policy that would imprison citizens for 18 months and fine them 5,000. This is outrageous and will only lead to less social distancing as people panic buy. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/vxlkJhVu4H
— Patrick Neville (@PatrickForCO) March 25, 2020
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock on Monday ordered residents to stay home until April 10, and he said other communities in the metro area likely would follow.
Douglas said Denver could extend its order to align with the orders issued Wednesday, or the other counties could cut theirs short if there is evidence the disease is spreading more slowly or if there is evidence of bolstered health care capacity.
Health officials, he said, don't want to keep people home longer than necessary.

Gmail Adds Email Scheduling, More Smart Compose Features on 15th Birthday
by Gary Ng – Mon, April 1, 2019
Google launched its email service, Gmail, 15 years ago on April Fool's Day, offering an unprecedented 1GB of free storage with the service at the time.
Today on the email service's 15th birthday, Google has announced more features are coming to Gmail.
The recent launch of Smart Compose—which suggests text for you—has "already saved people from typing over 1 billion characters each week—that's enough to fill the pages of 1,000 copies of "Lord of the Rings."
Google says today will bring support for Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese to Smart Compose, while the feature will be rolling out for all Android devices (instead of just the company's Pixel 3 devices), with iOS users "coming soon".
Also, Gmail Smart Compose is getting improvements as well. Google explains, "if you prefer saying "Ahoy," or "Ello, mate" in your greetings, Smart Compose will suggest just that." Smart Compose will now also "suggest a subject line based on the email you've written."
Another feature coming today is email scheduling. This is helpful if you want to send an email at a later time or date, to accommodate time zones or not disturb someone's vacation, explains Google.
Gmail will now also let you reply to emails faster without leaving your inbox, made possible with the recent rollout of AMP for the email service, allowing for "dynamic emails".
This makes your emails essentially interactive web pages, so you can now reply to a comment thread in Google Docs, or browse hotel recommendations, for example, without the need to open a new tab or browser or app, says Google.

UK coronavirus death toll could be 15% higher than previously shown: new data
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's death toll from the coronavirus could run some 15% higher than official figures have indicated so far, according to broader data published on Tuesday that include deaths in the community such as in nursing homes.
The Office for National Statistics said 6,235 people in England and Wales had died by April 3 with mentions of COVID-19 on their death certificates.
"When looking at data for England, this is 15% higher than the NHS numbers as they include all mentions of COVID-19 on the death certificate, including suspected COVID-19, as well as deaths in the community," ONS statistician Nick Stripe said.
Unlike the daily data published by the government that show only deaths in hospitals, Tuesday's figures include deaths in the community, such as at nursing homes.
In London, nearly half (46.6%) of deaths registered in Week 14 involved COVID-19, the ONS said.
During the week to April 3, deaths mentioning COVID-19 accounted for 21.2% of all deaths, compared with 4.8% in the previous week.
The latest daily death toll for the United Kingdom published showed a total of 11,329 people had died in hospitals as of Sunday at 1600 GMT across after testing positive for coronavirus.

How to Stay Competitive in Today's Complex World
Category : [2012]| Writer : 관리자 | Date : 2012.11.04 | Hit : 54,545
It goes without saying that in today's ever-changing business world, the need to stay sharp and competitive is more important than ever before. However, to stay competitive takes more than a four or six-year education according to leading Korean economist Dr. Il SaKong.
"Learning should be a lifelong business," SaKong said during the second Wiseman Lecture in late October. "Four years of school and graduate school is not enough to help you stay competitive."
For almost an hour, Dr. SaKong talked about how one needs to stay competitive in order to survive in today's complex world. SaKong, the founder and Chairman and CEO of the Institute for Global economics (IGE) has served in numerous government and official posts, including nearly ten years, from 1973-1982 at the Korea Development Institute (KDI) which is the leading economic think tank for the Korean government. More recently, SaKong was the Chairman of the Presidential Committee for the G20 Summit in Seoul in 2010.
One of the things that SaKong stressed in his lecture was that these days the world has become more interdependent and interconnected, and as such, in order to stay on top of things, one has to stay aware of what is happening around the world. He referred specifically to the situation in Greece and how the entire world is affected by it.
"You have to know what is happening. You have to have an international perspective study," he said. "You have to read more than others every day. You should make a habit of reading the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and the International Herald Tribune."
If you do this, SaKong added, you will be competitive.
In addition to being well-informed, SaKong also stressed the importance of being innovative—a term heard a lot in the classrooms at SolBridge. To be sure, whether one is looking at being innovative from an individual point of view or even at the national level, innovation is key to staying competitive.
"As a nation how can stay competitive national policy level unless you provide business friendly environments jobs will leave," he said. "At the national level, the rapid globalization also calls for continuous structural adjustments and institutional reforms."
He also talked about how lifelong learning and continuous training for workers who have either become displaced or are looking for work the first time has become even more critical in today's ever-changing world.

BIBLE STUDY EXCERPTS ARE FILMED LIVE DURING OUR BIBLE TEACHING (These are edited segments).
These studies are partly edited. They cover various subjects enough to convey the basics. You will notice parts of the studies are OBVIOUSLY missing. We remove expanded coverage of various subjects (they branch out to bring in other connecting details), and we thus reduce the length of the studies by around 20% or more. There will be times it seems our pastor just instantly changed subjects. Those are where the edited portions have been removed. | RedPajamaC4_-7297948446560041988 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

...The issue of this case is whether the board of Katia was in breach of the director's duties. In determining this issue, the legal principles in Corporate Act section 181 as well as Howard Smith v Ampol Petroleum, Whitehouse v Carlton Hotel, Mills v Mills, Ngurli v McCann, Harlowe's Nominees v Woodside Oil and Winthrop Investments v Winns should be considered. S 181 states that directors should exercise their powers in good faith and proper purpose. Subjective tests (which concerns whether the director acted honestly) are involved in determining the breach of good faith (Harris, Hargovan and Adams 2013). However, Harris, Hargovan and Adams (2013) also stated that since objective evidences may also be needed in determining the breach of good faith, it is easier to bypass the subject test and prove that such conduct failed to act for a proper purpose. Fiduciary duty cases at general law on the proper purpose rule are considered when determining the scope of 'proper purpose' in CA s 181 (2). That is to say, the two-step process proposed in Howard Smith v Ampol Petroleum should be used under such circumstance to prove the improper purpose. Moreover, in the situation of mixed purposes, a 'but for' test proposed by Dixon J in Mills v Mills is involved to determine the motivation of an action. When it is proved that an action was performed in breach of s 181, as stated in Note 2 of s 181, a civil penalty should be imposed. Moreover, it should be...

The investor uses $1,000 of his own equity, with the remaining amount borrowed at a risk-free interest rate of 4% (with continuous compounding). (a) Assuming that there are no restrictions on the use of short-sale proceeds, what is this investors expected rate of return? (b) What are some of the issues associated with short-selling, and what impact could these issues have on the expected return calculated in part (a). ANSWER (a) w1 = -1; w2 = 1.5; w3 = 1.5; wr = -1 E(r) = -1*0.06 + 1.5*0.08 + 1.5*0.15 + (-1)*0.04 = 24.5% (b) short selling is restricted; unable to use proceeds from the short sale; fee for short selling reduces return. All of these restrictions could fundamentally change the return to the portfolio. 2. Consider a European call option on a stock. The stock price is $70, the time to maturity is 12 months, the risk free rate of interest is 10% per annum (with continuous compounding), the exercise price is $65, and the volatility is 32%.

...Question 1 (1) The maintenance of share capital principle is share capital. Share capital is the contribution made by shareholder by subscribing shares of the company. A company's creditors can only look to the share capital for payment in the event of a winding up. A general rule known as the rule in Trevor v Whitworth was established in order to protect shareholders and creditors. It prohibits a company from reducing its share capital due to a reduction in capital would prejudice the rights of creditors. Besides, the reduction would in effect diminish the pool of funds available to the company to pay its creditors. The rule in Trevor v Whitworth has been incorporated into the Corporation Act. There are certain section that can be use in order to enforce the maintenance of capital principle. Section 254T of the Corporation Act stated that a dividend may only be paid from profits. This section states that a company must not pay a dividend unless the company's assets exceed its liabilities before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend. Another section in the Corporation Act which seek to enforce the maintenance of capital principle is Section 259A: Prohibit self-acquisition.

Q: php turn files in directories to href links I am using the following code to list directory/subdirectory files:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<?php
function listFolderFiles($dir)
{
$ffs = scandir($dir);
echo '<ol>';
foreach($ffs as $ff)

}
}
echo '</ol>';
}
listFolderFiles('exportReports');
?>
</div>
</div>
What I need to do now is turn all the files inside each directory into href links that a user can click and download.
When I added 'a' tags in the echo statement with the opening 'li' tag, it turned all the directories and files into links. I do not want this. The actual file inside each directory needs to be a link.
The files are both .txt files as well as .html files.
Please help.
A: Try this:
function listFolderFiles($dir)
{
$ffs = scandir($dir);
echo '<ol>';
foreach($ffs as $ff)

Olivia Colman Was Too Drunk To Remember Her Famous Oscars Speech
by Dan Barna
Kevin Winter
The Golden Globes have long had the reputation of being the drunkest awards show of the season, and hence the most fun to watch. But Olivia Colman is here to tell us not to discount the Oscars, because Hollywood's elite get pretty plastered there, too.
That certainly explains Colman's painfully charming speech at the 2019 Oscars, where, in an upset, she beat out Glenn Close and took home Best Actress for her performance in The Favorite. During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Colman said that she can't remember her instantly iconic speech because she'd had too much to drink, The Independent reports.
Since the Oscar telecast is notoriously booze-free, you might be wondering if Colman snuck a flask into the proceedings, or maybe she just had one helluva pre-party. Wrong. According to Colman, the drinking happens at a bar behind the auditorium during the actual ceremony itself. "There are hundreds of seat fillers so almost everybody is in the bar getting bladdered," she said.
During her speech, Colman said that she hoped her kids were watching because she likely would never win another Oscar. And while she may be right about that (winning an Oscar is really hard, y'all), there's definitely some more hardware in her future, perhaps sooner rather than later. In just over a week, we finally get to see Colman's turn as Queen Elizabeth in the third season of Netflix's The Crown, which drops November 17. The show was an awards magnet for Claire Foy in the first two seasons, and based on early trailers, Colman is likely to clean up when the next Emmys roll around. That means more awards for her, and more drunk speeches for us!

Carlos Beltran among 14 newcomers on ballot for Hall of Fame
NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran, John Lackey and Jered Weaver are among 14 newcomers on the Baseball Writers' Association of America's Hall of Fame nerd in what could turn into an evaluation of the Houston Astros' cheating scandal.
RA Dickey, Huston Street, Francisco Rodríguez, Bronson Arroyo and Matt Cain also are new to the nerd, joined by Jacoby Ellsbury, Jayson Werth, Mike Napoli, JJ Hardy, Jhonny Peralta and Andre Ethier, the Hall and the BBWAA said Monday.
Holdovers include Scott Rolen, Todd Helton and Billy Wagner. Rolen received 249 of 394 votes last year (63.2%), when David Ortiz was elected with 307 votes (77.9%), 11 more than the 75% needed. Helton was on 205 bales (52%) and Wagner 201 (51%).
Voters denied several stars tainted by steroids and scandal.
Barry Bonds (260 votes, 66%), Roger Clemens (257, 65.2%) and Curt Schilling (231, 58.6%) were dropped after their 10th appearances on the ballot last year and are among eight players who will appear on the ballot of the Hall's contemporary baseball era committee, which meets Dec. 4 in San Diego ahead of baseball's winter meetings.
Other holdovers on the BBWAA ballot include Andruw Jones (163 votes last year, 41.1%), Gary Sheffield (160, 40.6%), Alex Rodriguez (135, 34.3%), Jeff Kent (129, 32.7%), Manny Ramirez (114 , 28.9%), Omar Vizquel (94, 23.9%), Andy Pettitte (42, 10.7%), Jimmy Rollins (37, 9.4%), Bobby Abreu (34, 8.6%), Mark Buehrle (23, 5.8%) and Torii Hunter (21, 5.3%).
Kent, who received his highest percentage last year, will appear on the BBWAA ballot for the 10th and final time.
BBWAA members with 10 or more consecutive years of membership are eligible to vote. Ballots must be postmarked by Dec. 31 and results will be announced Jan. 24.
Any players elected will be inducted into the Hall at Cooperstown on July 23 along with anyone elected by the contemporary baseball era committee.
A nine-time All-Star, Beltran had a .279 batting average, 435 home runs, 1,587 RBIs and 312 stolen bases for the Kansas City Royals, Astros, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. He was hired as Mets manager on Nov. 1, 2019, then was fired on Jan. 16 without having managed a game, three days after he was the only Astros player mentioned by name in a report by Major League Baseball regarding the team's illicit use of electronics to steal signs during Houston's run to the 2017 World Series.
Alex Rodriguez, a three-time MVP and 14-time All-Star who hit 696 home runs, was suspended for the 2014 season for violating MLB's drug policy and collective bargaining agreement, and Ortiz's name was alleged to have appeared on a list of players who tested positive during 2003 survey testing.
Lackey won Game 7 of the 2002 World Series for the Anaheim Angels as a rookie, then added World Series titles with the 2013 Boston Red Sox and the 2016 Chicago Cubs. He was 188-147 with a 3.92 ERA in 15 seasons and 8-6 with a 3.44 ERA in the postseason.
Weaver, a three-time All-Star, was 150-98 with a 3.63 ERA.

A team from Autodesk & ECI laser recently scanned a USAF C-130 at the Orlando Airport. The objective was to create a very accurate model of the aircraft that will allow virtual testing. How do you clean an aircraft that has been contaminated by a nuclear, biological, chemical agent for example? You can do it physically (for real) and/or you can do it virtually. We focus on the virtual of course as it is almost always cheaper and easier. Pete hadn't walked up the ramp of a C-130 in 30+ years so there was a nostalgic element to this effort as well. | RedPajamaC4_-5656105737438491777 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Q: Highlight smallest number in table I would like to highlight the smallest number in each row. How would I go about doing this. In the following for example, would like to highlight 3 and 3.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{datatool}
\begin{filecontents*}{test2.csv}
Fruits, Adam, steve
apples, 17, 3
oranges, 3, 18
\end{filecontents*}
\DTLloaddb{mydata2}{test2.csv}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\bfseries Adam & \bfseries Steve & \bfseries Fruits%
\DTLforeach{mydata2}{\Adam=Adam,\Steve=Steve, \Fruits=Fruits}%
{%
\\\Fruits & \Adam & \Steve
}%
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
A: Since you only have two numerical columns, you can do something like:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{datatool}
\begin{filecontents*}{test2.csv}
Fruits, Adam, Steve
apples, 17, 3
oranges, 3, 18
\end{filecontents*}
\DTLloaddb{mydata2}{test2.csv}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\bfseries Fruits & \bfseries Adam & \bfseries Steve%
\DTLforeach{mydata2}{\Adam=Adam,\Steve=Steve, \Fruits=Fruits}%
{%
\\\Fruits &
\dtlifnumlt{\Adam}{\Steve}{\color{red}}{}\Adam &
\dtlifnumlt{\Steve}{\Adam}{\color{red}}{}\Steve
}%
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
This produces:
If you have more than two numerical columns you can use \DTLgminall to compute the minimum for the row, like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{datatool}
\begin{filecontents*}{test2.csv}
Fruits, Adam, Steve
apples, 17, 3

\bfseries Fruits & \bfseries Adam & \bfseries Steve%
\DTLforeach{mydata2}{\Adam=Adam,\Steve=Steve, \Fruits=Fruits}%

Regardless of how you feel about Rihanna's performance at the AMA's, her laser-enhanced costume stole the show. She looked quite fierce all bondaged up with lasers shooting out of her shoulder pads. Rihanna's outfit follows Bono's laser jacket and, of course, Hussein Chalayan's Laser Dress. I'm not sure who designed the costume yet. Will update if and when I find out. The costume indeed is another marvelous creation by Moritz Waldemeyer in collaboration with Rihanna's styling team and Simon Henwood.

[edit] No. of words per e-mail?
Hmm... We should make a page that says how many words there are on the sender's email... Does anyone agree? Sp0ng3b0b 10:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure how that would be useful information... Loafing 10:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main Story Arc
Just wondering if we should start compiling a main story arc page thing for the strong bad e-mails. Not all of the e-mails of course are a part of the main story arc for the strong bad e-mails. Though, it could take some time before such a thing is compiled. There are also other arcs as well (I believe), but I wouldn't know what to name them. ColdReactive
...What main story arc? --Belthazar 20:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Let's see here... lappy getting stolen, paper dying-ish, virus email, tandy exploding, etc. ColdReactive
Those are all different stories and/or story arcs, not a main one. Loafing 00:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
That and if anything, they're more of a running gag than a story arc. --Belthazar 01:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Finished
Hey guys, um, I think TBC are finished with sbemails. I have two reasons: A. They said in the email thunder commentary that they were done B. I just tried to email strong bad, and it said that the address was dead, like, they closed the e-mail account. So should we put that on the page? --Crudely Drawn Cupcake 01:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I sent him something and it made it through. BBG 01:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Seconded, no weird errors. Are you sure you typed the email address correctly? — Defender1031*Talk 01:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I just clicked on the paper at the end, and also, what about the whole commentary thing?--Crudely Drawn Cupcake 02:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Then it means your browser isn't set up for the link from the paper to work, and i still hold the opinion that the commentary is them messing with us. But it's really pointless to discuss hre anyway, as it has no bearing on the page. If they make more, we'll report it, if they give a sure sign that they're over, we'll report that. Nothing to do in the meantime, and any speculation is pretty much pointless. — Defender1031*Talk 02:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Is it speculation if TGITC say it? I mean TBC not TGITC. --Blow Up the Ocean 01:17, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps? --Blow Up the Ocean
If they actually officially announce that they're over with the Sbemails, then I think it'll certainly be notable to post. However, what they said on the commentary may or may not be true, considering that TBC are rather evil in that they like to mess with our heads all the time. As such, it isn't notable enough to be put on the page. If you guys want to continue speculating, you may want to take it over to the forum, where your comments will be better received. —Guard Duck talk 05:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Do you post on the forum? --Blow Up the Ocean 05:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
We're now coming up on 6 months since the last sbemail. My opinion is, if the 23rd of March comes and goes with no sbemail, the page should change to the past tense. --Cydonos 20:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
No. It is not our decision to officially declare the end of Strong Bad Emails. When TBC themselves announce that they're not going to do anymore emails during a public appearance or interview (the email thunder commentary does NOT count), only then do we change the page to the past tense. – The Chort 20:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Why does the commentray not count? What law are you citing? SBEmails are over, except for specials and whatnot. I am calling it. Remember that you read it here. 98.216.8.68 12:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
You're calling it? You're hardly the first. The reason we don't give the commentary much weight is that it's clear that they hadn't discussed it ahead of time, and they don't take their own commentaries very seriously. They've been known to say things simply for the shock or humor value. — It's dot com 14:42, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, there's a "Best of sbemails" DVD now, and the "Best of X" is usually only after show or franchise ends, plus the "Sbemailiraization" seems to explain why they won't be doing sbemails anymore! -A logged-out Waferman 71.190.163.41 19:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
We know all of this, but until they announce that emails are over in a serious interview or on the website, we're not going to declare anything as being official. — It's dot com 21:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
in an easteregg on email thunder that says that the poopsmith will break his silence every 200 sbemails. im not sure, but that could be an evidence of more sbemails! --Safariventureman 19:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, thank goodness, but sbemails are back! Abcorn 03:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] pop culture satire?
In the intro we list 3 emails that satirize pop culture, japanese cartoon, action figure, and isp. The anime satire's pretty solid, but I dunno how prominent action figures and bandwidth are in current pop culture. Should we consider replacing those examples with ones that satirize even more prominent aspects of pop culture? (I dunno what they'd be, too lazy to look right now.) -132.183.151.130 22:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, I certainly can't think of a reason not to do so. --69.19.14.19 15:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Typing
I might never understand how Strong Bad types so fast. Especially with boxing gloves on! Fingerface 21:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
That's forum talk, kid. — MichaelXX2 21:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Gaps
I know that there's gaps noted, and how sometimes its noted on the site, like with the LELLOWTAPE in redesign. But should it be noted about the beginning of hremail 3184 where strong bad finishes off homestar's hremail to start his new email, and saying that he's coming out of e-tirement? its me, crudely drawn cupcake, it can't sign in.--173.71.176.27 20:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] sbemail201 > hremail3184
hremal3184 should be taken over 201, as sbemail201 isn't a file. ColdReactive 14:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but do we call flashback sbemailahundred or email thunder sbemailtwohundred, or do we call senior prom kotpoptoon? USER:SBE-MAIL CHECKER DAN was here at 10:23 AM
the first two you mentioned are numbers, so those are fine. But I don't think the latter works. ColdReactive 14:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Right, so hremail3184 shouldn't work, cuz it's not a sbemail number. If it were a Hremail page with the different eras (which there are only two definetely known) then i'd under stand. But in this case, we should keep it sbemail201 User:SBE CHECK DAN. 10:33
I think you misunderstood me. ColdReactive 14:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Hremails too!
I think Hremails count as sbemails too, so that means there have been 205 emails so far, not 202. So can we please put hremails on this page? User:MICGAGUH
No, hremails are hremails, sbemails are sbemails, and neither are the same. ('cept for hremail3184, but...) USER: Sbemail Checker Dan
well, technically, long pants and caper were sbemails AND hremails, according to email thunder...
[edit] Premature Era?
Does anyone think it's premature to call this the "Corpy Era?" He's only used it for one email. We don't have, like, Pom Pilot and Tangerine Dreams eras. We don't yet know whether Stro Bro will continue to use this computer as his main email-checking hardware. -132.183.140.54 19:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm afraid this kind of question is for the forums. --76.224.216.122 19:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
No, this isn't a forum question. Why on Earth would you think so?! Anyway, it's an interesting question. the bird clearly took place between two Tandy emails, as did weird dream. But is this a Lappy-era email? An [insert computer here]-era email? Hard to say at this point. --Jay v.2020 (Talk) 19:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
If Strong Bad checks at least two more emails on the Corpy, I guess we'll call that an era, albeit a very small one. But what if he gets a new computer in the next email? I guess it would then be best to call imaginary a Lappy-era email, since the [insert computer here]-era should probably start with the email in which [insert computer here] is introduced. Omnisweater 19:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I think given the limited info available, what we have is fine for now. If the Corpy turns out to be a one-off interim computer, then I'd guess imaginary would belong to the Lappy era per Omnisweater's reasoning and the Corpy email menu would be treated like the Broken Tandy and Broken Compy Menus. — It's dot com 20:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Why on earth would we put them in Lappy era? the Lappy's dead. Why not a "Mixed Computer Era" instead? User:FalconPuncher 6:55 PM
I think it has been pretty well established now that the new computer is the Compy Compé, and while the corpy email might not fit perfectly into either era, I'm of the opinion that a single sbemail can't really constitute an era as defined by the english language and therefore should be merged into the previous/next era anyway. --121.223.243.95 06:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I just changed it to "Transition" instead of "Era" so that we don't have to merge it to either one. I don't think it fits in either era actually. (I guess it's still speculative though) The Knights Who Say Ni 06:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
what about tangerine dreams? we should make tandy and broken tandy seperate eras and the email weird dream a transition like imaginary.
I think the reason why we're making a whole different section for the Corpy is because it's a whole different computer that had its own menu, not just a "broken" version of one computer. free 15:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
but, the broken tandy had it's own menu also, and strong bad checked weird dream on the cheat's computer for the same reason he checked imaginary on the corpy: because his home computer broke.
I'd like to renew this discussion, mainly because it looks odd to have a one-email-long section. To avoid repeating myself, I'll instead direct you my comments above beginning "If the Corpy turns out to be a one-off interim computer". (Which it did.) — It's dot com 15:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
What Dot com suggests makes sense. Originally, I didn't mind the section by itself since the Corpy had its own menu. However, looking back, a menu by itself shouldn't represent an "era", not even a mini-era. That said, I do think we do need some section clearly listing which emails were done on non-era machines. --Stux 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
It's clearly after the lappy era though. that's why it doesn't fit in the lappy menu; it was never on that menu. and the email came out before strong bad even knew about the compé, so it was clearly before the compé era. do y'all have a problem with the word "transition"? it's used there to mean that it isn't an era at all. The Knights Who Say Ni 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Okay, that's one of the questions we need to answer. What is an era? Why is it useful to split the emails into eras? (Note that it hasn't always been that way.) Depending on the definition, is it possible to have an email that belongs to no era? Do the aesthetics of not having an email by itself come into play at all? — It's dot com 21:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I think to answer these questions we need to look at why they were created in the first place and its accompanying discussion. They were first made for aesthetic and organizational reasons, letting us better manage the growing list of emails. The nomenclature seemed to be, at first, an afterthought, and only with time has it evolved into the serious business that it is. I think we should, in this case, prioritize organization and aesthetics, and if our lists don't overlap eras, then they should just be marked as such or noted somewhere. --Stux 21:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I think that we should have a section further down the page called "Transition eras". This is were we not only list the Corpy email, but the pom pilot and tangerine dreams email as well. Any one else share this thought? Origonalname 20:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Without further qualification (for instance, imaginary being listed as a Lappy or Compé email on the top), I'm afraid I cannot agree with that idea. The emails should remain in order. Besides, the bird is not a transition email (it's arguable that weird dream can be considered one, but not the bird. While we're on the subject, from work, which was also on the Corpy, wasn't a transition either.) --Jay v.2020 (Talk) 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
If we have an era for the Corpy, just because it had it's own menu, then why don't we have an era for the broken Tandy? And why don't we have an era for when the Tandy was broken, and the menu was on a piece of paper? that makes about as much sense as making a whole era just for a transition computer. But maybe Jay is right about the bird. But i'm still not convinced that the Corpy era makes sense.
[edit] Flinger's Menu
Starting at this email (imaginary), the sbemails page doesn't say Denny's Menu --Smahksilae 03:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC) yes,and it has a subject bar that look's like lappy, i wonder why nobody noticed it before??? --Lamer99 14:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] SBEmails?
Why does everyone think that Arcade Game, Puppet Time, Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag, Superbowl Dealie, and Rotten Eggs are sbemails? Half of them don't even mention the word "email" in them (NO, "SBEMAIL NEXT WEEK" OR "DUE TO THE SUPERBOWL, THE SBEMAIL WILL BE LATE THIS WEEK" DOES NOT COUNT). Just because the Compy appears doesn't mean it's an email. The NQSBEMails should only be ones that mention Strong Bad checking an email (Weclome Back, for example), ones that are a teaser for a milestone (Not The 100th Sbemail, SBEmail 150?!?), or ones that have an actual email and he answers it (SBCG4AP and Sick Day). -USER: SBE-MAIL CHECKER DAN 9:58 AM, July 23rd, 2009
Yes, but those cartoons are different from regular "Shorts" in the way that they are made to show that there will be a new Sbemail soon. For example, you don't see a notice after most of the regular cartoons saying "Holiday Toon next week" or something close to that. Because they can't be grouped like the normal cartoons, they're grouped as NQSbemails. DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 15:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Dan: That's not what our definition of Not Quite Strong Bad Emails is (emphasis on the "Not Quite"). The only thing that matters is that each of these shorts "were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails". That's it. Sure, some of them fill in gaps between emails while others were just notes stuck on the Compy's screen, but they all meet the minimum criterion. — It's dot com 16:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Oh, well, could we at least put Homestar Ruiner and StrongBadia the Free on there? They opened up with an email, and all five episodes had minor, optional, emails. SBE CHEK DAN (don't feel like righting the whole thing)
Does Compy Catalog count as a Not Quite Strong Bad Email? The Knights Who Say Ni 06:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes. --Stux 06:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] random.bat
Has anyone noticed that there is no random button?
Yes. It's noted in the remarks section. free 19:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
I noticed it too, but now it's back as go rando!. Abcorn 03:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Loading... and Loading... and Loading...
Today, the sbemail menu keeps on loading and loading and loading. If you use the greasemonkey script to fast forward past the loading screen, you'll notice there are no emails on the random.bat thing. Also, doing this may cause Firefox to hang and give an error. ColdReactive 13:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Works for me. — It's dot com 21:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
And me. free 22:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
That's because it was fixed when you replied. Sorry I didn't take a screenshot. ColdReactive 13:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
All that happened was that rando.xml was unavailable for whatever reason. You can duplicate the effect by saving the menu file and opening it locally. — It's dot com 13:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Corpy
Are we going to leave the corpy menu on there? It was only one email. TheThingé 01:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes. — Defender1031*Talk 02:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Oh, good, I-- did you say yes? Why, What's The Point we might as well put from work in there, and you forgot this. Meaty85203 Talk To Me... Serously 05:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
It did have its own unique menu with unique text, though. That text has to go somewhere! --DorianGray 05:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure we only do that for SBEmail MENUS user:sbe-mail checker dan
It should really go, I mean its not the first time there was a special menu, what about the time they used a notepad for the menu, and when the compy blew up, its not really an era, just a extra.[guest]
My thoughts exactly, fellow guest. -Bloohoo (guest)
Key difference: A new email was released for this menu. The broken Compy and Tandy menus stood alone without updates. --DorianGray 23:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Also, where would we put imaginary if we didn't have a Corpy section? It took place after the Lappy exploded, but before Strong Bad even knew what the Compé was, so it's really part of neither era. --Jay v.2020 (Talk) 23:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Why not put it in the Lappy era? -Bloohoo
I think it should stay... after all, the Lappy was dead, and he didn't have the Compe yet, plus it had its own sbemail menu, so it really is a transition/mini-era, regardless of it having only one email. Abcorn 03:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey, remember, it's the "Lappy Era", from work wad released during the time strongbad was using the lappy, so its in the Lappy era, imaginary is only on the Corpy section 'cos he wasn't using any computer 'at the time. A Website 18:52, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
I think it should be in the Corpy, AND the Lappy era, no matter if "From Work" isn't in the Corpy "era". It's called..... COMPROMISE! Jibblejibblejibble 01:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] The Widescreen Dilemma
The lappy screen measures about 5:8 ratio. The Compe (using linux, no ALT Shortcuts) screen measures about 14:25 ratio. The compe is obviously widescreen, but, I believe the lappy is clearly not widescreen. Meaning that if the compe is actually used, it will be the first computer for strong bad that is widescreen. Should this be noted here or on the compe page? ColdReactive 00:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Probably the Compe (no numpad) page, but let's wait until (if?) he uses it if we do mention it. free 01:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] compe menu (i forget the alt shortcut)
is there a way to remove that black border around the green?
[edit] Compe styled era box?
I just made this, how's it look? ColdReactive 18:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Great, you just might want to lessen the width of the border, and check it with the CSS of the Lappy style:
#bodyContent blockquote.email, #article blockquote.email, #mw_contentholder blockquote.email {
border: 4px solid #cc9;
background-image: url(/skins/common/images/emailbackground.gif);
background-position: bottom right;
font-family: courier new, monospace;
The Strong Bad head width could be changed a bit. Can't really take a look at the code right now, but make sure you're using <blockquote>. You may want to make another version that looks like the email client as well, since we will probably use that one and the one you've already made. Got to get back to the transcript. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 18:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm not using a block quote (I AM using a block quote around the autocolumn though as per normal), I'm using a custom DIV for the strong bad head because blockquotes won't fit nicely above/inside the grass area. I edited it more to tone down on that big black border. I added a more transparent PNG of SB's head, and I explained about the minimum size of the era box. I have now also added a transcript box for the compe. Please take a look at it as well. ColdReactive 18:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
The transcript version is nice! I would change the <div> that holds the message into a <span>, with a CSS display:block; property and a padding:4px; property, remove the nesting, and it's good to go. The background:transparent; properties should be rid of as they are of no use. The fact that we're using divs to substitute for the double-line bottom border doesn't feel right with me, but right now I can't think of anything better. Great job! —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 02:12, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm wondering why the grass doesn't scroll with the page, instead acting like a window to a grassy field that gets moved around it. — Defender1031*Talk 02:15, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Soiled Bargains thanks for the span thing. Defender that's because the image has a background attachment of fixed, it will scroll showing various parts of the grass picture when scrolling. You guys can try tweaking these boxes to your liking and see what's best, I would much like to see the fruits of my imagination/labor used on sbemails. ColdReactive 02:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
ColdReactive, is there some way you could use the original grass desktop image instead of the one you have now? I'd get it for you if I had a better Flash decompiler. Omnisweater 16:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Any good flash decompilers for linux? Because that's what I use. Flash CS3 doesn't work in wine either, otherwise I'd try it. Because I can't ask on the Ubuntu Forums. Nevermind, I found one: http://www.swftools.org ColdReactive 16:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I love it, but get a background that and can be repeated. That way, the size wouldn't matter.--Crudely Drawn Cupcake 22:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the background used on the Compe doesn't repeat, and we're not gonna pick some other background because that would defeat the purpose. — Defender1031*Talk 22:11, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I've softened the image up. Is it good enough to use? Or do you want to try to make it look better more defender? ColdReactive 22:43, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Wow, that looks good enough to eat! Or at least...; use as a background! Good jorb! — Defender1031*Talk 22:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that looks awesome! The other Compé template (the one used when he reads emails) looks great too. Omnisweater 23:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
(time to go back down *cough*) Thanks you guys, especially for the help so far. ColdReactive 23:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
The background looks good, but it isn't wide enough. It cuts off on my screen. — It's dot com 15:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't this block quote have the same border as the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy block quotes? It also is a different size in length than the previous ones. The Corpy block quote should be changed to have the same border and size also. Homestar-Winner (talk) 15:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
You guys can continue to experiment if you want. But be advise that making the background bigger may cause pixelation again, making you blur it more, making the grass less visible for lower resolutions. ColdReactive 19:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Oh my goodness, they changed the background of the email menu! Shall I try to attempt to get the new background? Disregard this. The new background is all shapes (and not a JPG/PNG/etc.), and I'm having a real, real hard time outputting them. ColdReactive 14:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Let's see if the green background is reused in any sbemails first. If it turns out to have been a one-time thing, then I guess you (or somebody) should change it. By the way, do you happen to still have the .swf of the original Compé menu? I hope someone does, because it would be nice to have a mirror of that. Omnisweater 14:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Font
When you use the randomizer on the compé menu (right click and play on the flash file, wait for an atrociously long time a few seconds) the one it selects is in the lappy's font. where does this remark belong? The Knights Who Say Ni 03:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Desktop
I want to make a page with all the desktop wallpapers on the compe. But I don't have permition to upload pictures...help plz. ~ Nihaho13
I've done some of this for you already. A note to people wanting to upload wallpapers/desktop screens: Please name your uploaded images in accordance to what it looks like or features. Someday we might upload the actual wallpaper raw (Like I did with the compy catalog, grass and Where's an Egg II wallpapers.) Raw Wallpapers should take precedence over screenshots of them. JPG Wallpapers will come and go as time goes on. Wallpapers that are actually FLASH OBJECTS (Such as the Compy Catalog wallpaper) Will take longer. Also, make sure to add the wallpapers/desktops to the Compé page. ColdReactive 17:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] 193½B or 100½? Or update the description?
When we see The Homestar Runner gets Something Stuck in his Craw, it comes between sbemail 193 and 194, right? However, at the end of sbemail 100, Strong Bad is about to read to Homestar the exact same story/flashback. Should we change it from 193½B to 100½? I'm not so sure about this, but, the description is The reading of the story takes place after what appears to be a Strong Bad Email. Should this be updated to The reading of the story takes place after Strong Bad Email 100, or The reading of the story takes place after what appears to be a Strong Bad Email, probably Strong Bad Email 100 (flashback)? This is also supported because in flashback and this cartoon, the floppy disk container reads the same.

If you zoom in on the computer, you can clearly see that this email isn't the same one that is in flashback. Therefore, it doesn't take place immediately after the hundredth email. Just b/c strong bad was going to read it then doesn't necessarily mean that's when this took place. It's also definitely possible that Strong Bad could have had the same disk at the front of the container on two separate occasions. I think it's fine where it is, listed as between 193 and 194, since that's where it came out. The Knights Who Say Ni 01:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Remember how at the Season 8 "American Idol" finale, Ryan Seacrest described the Kris Allen/Adam Lambert showdown as "the guy-next-door vs. the guyliner"? Well, Adam is apparently a more complex man than Ryan gave him credit for. In Adam's new video for "Better Than I Know Myself," Adam takes on both roles--the light and the dark, the innocent and, as Britney Spears might say, the not-that-innocent--and the result is the most compelling music video Adam has ever done. Clearly, two Adams are better than one.
The stunningly art-directed clip depicts the two faces of Adam in a face-off of wills, and the split-personality effect is fascinating indeed. On one side of a two-way-mirrored wall we have Evil Adam, who looks like he just zombie-walked off the set of a classic Marilyn Manson video. Evil Adam drinks too much, wears too much makeup, throws too many rock-star tantrums, and dresses in a LOT of leather. This is probably the Adam the general public knows better, or thinks they know--the Adam whose antics and outfits get splashed all over the tabloids and blogs.
And then, on the other side of that wall, in a lushly earth-toned, apparently hermetically sealed room that looks pulled from the pages of a pristine Pottery Barn catalog, there's Good Adam. Good Adam prefers herbal tea over vodka, meditation over partying, Ivory soap over spackled-on MAC, light over dark, and cozy Mr. Rogers cardigans over sharp-shouldered Hellraiser trenchcoats. This is the Adam that most of us never see, but as the video unfolds, we start to get the impression that the domesticated Good Adam persona is actually a more accurate representation of the man in real life...and that the Evil Adam character is just that: a character. Maybe we don't know the true Adam Lambert at all.
"I think people just like to write someone like me off, like, 'Oh, he's a freak,'" Adam recently told me in an interview about his upcoming album, Trespassing--and honestly, yes, it IS awesome to see Evil Adam freak out here, crushing a bloody heart (or is that just a pomegranate?) in his fist and pouring booze down his throat and rocking a pair of fierce feline contact lenses. Evil Adam is fun! However, Adam also told me, "But I'm a person. It's not that one-dimensional." So it's nice to see another dimension to Adam here. Trespassing promises to showcase both sides of Adam's light/dark personality, so this video is a perfect embodiment of the album's message.
And did I mention both Adams look gorgeous? See Adam's two sides collide below! | RedPajamaC4_-8261407325928482822 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
PENGUINS SIGN ANGELLO TO ATO, RECALL SEVEN FROM WHEELING

Why I Write Fantasy: A Suitcase of Treasures, Part 2
On October 23, 2017 October 27, 2017 By rodericktmacdonaldIn Books, Reminiscences, Reviews, Writing
Last week, I wrote about the green suitcase in our garage that yielded two world-changing books, the first of which was Nine Princes in Amber. The second book I found in that fateful suitcase (and now that I write about this, it is such a strange happenstance to have so impacted an impressionable child) was not the first in a classic series, but the second: Patricia McKillip's Heir of Sea and Fire. I read over and over again about land rulers, a dead king wanting his skull back, wizards who spent hundreds of years as trees, Ghisteslwchlohm, (If you need to find a reason for my own multi-syllabled wizards – look no further than big G.) and shapeshifters of mysterious intent. And Riddlemasters, in a college that managed to make all the arts into a riddle course – which, to be honest, sometimes seems fair, except there should never be a single answer.
As with Nine Princes I searched in vain for the other books in the series, and then, five years later I was in John Menzies on Princes Street in Edinburgh and I found it: a new edition of the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy sitting on a shelf, with Heir of Sea and Fire set between these two other books in an unfamiliar cover. I thought – who is this Riddlemaster of Hed? Raederle is the heroine! Then I remembered all the references to that Morgon guy. He seemed a bit dull, but did show up with powerfully gathered muscles and a cool sword at the end of Heir. Raederle was where it was at for me, facing off absentee dads, dead kings, and people made of shells and seaweed! Who was this Morgon guy? In my mind I had created pre and post stories for Raederle and Morgon, and in a sense had been quite happy with them. I think that's what the kids nowadays refer to as 'Headcanon'.
Patricia McKillip's world, filled with arresting imagery, strong women, powerful minds, and allusions to long histories not always explained, utterly enchanted me. The wizards and dead kings especially hung in my memory, but also the leading lady front and centre. My original main character, in a story I think I began even before my first attempt at a novel, was a young woman called Lyn. I think that can be attributed to Raederle more than anything else, though the leading ladies of Pern will also have been an influence! (Was Dragonflight also in that suitcase, I wonder? I begin to suspect so.) I have no idea now what happened in Lyn's tale, but I have it somewhere, 30 odd pages of scrawl on UK A4 sized paper, wide ruled. (I graduated to using the narrow ruled for writing later. I felt very grown up!)
The writing in Heir of Sea and Fire is so evocative, like catching a dream on paper with images of flashing light and liquid shadow, poetry in prose so alluring it makes your mind drift and dance to its rhythms at times, that it was and is for me an intoxicant. And Patricia McKillip has only grown more skilled as a writer with the passing of time, a vivid economy of word, idea, and emotion that I can only admire, and seek, one day, to begin to emulate. Not in her style of course, that is all her own!
Two books, found in a musty suitcase at the back of a garage, have had an outsized effect on my imagination, and along with the core influences of fairytales, Tolkien, and Lewis, are inescapable influences on my writing life, for which I am very grateful. Reading them in isolation, away from the context of their companion novels, led me to a great focus on the detail of each, and that focus has lingered in the way in which I approach fantasy, I think. My imaginings (all forgotten now) of how their stories could have gone were very different from how the authors resolved them, but the shards of those thoughts and memories may still have an effect on what I choose to write, or how I employ certain characters and images. I wanted so much more on the Lungold wizards – so I have created a world full of them! Other striking books and authors have come along, and I shall mention them in future columns, but when I look at what I write, it is easy for me to see the traces of Nine Princes of Amber, and Heir of Sea and Fire. I consider that no bad thing.

Don't be fooled by their small size: Chia seeds are packed with fiber, fat, and antioxidants.
Chia seeds have a reputation for being a "superfood"—and for a good reason: They may be tiny, but they pack a wallop of a nutritional punch.
In fact, just one spoonful of chia seeds—that's .5 ounces, to be precise—has just 69 calories, but boasts 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein.
The health benefits of chia seeds aren't exactly new—in fact, people have been eating them for more than 5,000 years. Originally from Mexico and Guatemala, chia—i.e., Salvia hispanica L., a member of the mint family—was used by the Aztecs and Mayans in everything from meals to medicines to cosmetics, according to a 2016 study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology.
Available year-round, you can buy them online (try Amazon.com) or find them at most brick-and-mortar grocery stores.
Still not convinced? Here are six reasons why chia seeds are good for your health—proof that good things really do come in small packages.
One tablespoon of chia seeds packs a whopping 5 grams of fiber—about 20 percent of the recommended daily fiber intake. (By contrast, the same amount of brown rice contains just .2 grams of fiber.) Even though dietary fiber can help lower our cholesterol levels and shore up our digestive health, statistics show that most women in the United States are only eating about 15 grams per day—well short of the recommended 25 grams.
Chia seeds are high in phosphorus and magnesium—two minerals that can help keep our bones healthy, says Tara Gidus Collingwood, RDN, a dietitian and author of Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies. In a 2015 study published in the Nutrition Journal, people who had the highest intakes of phosphorus had a 45 percent lower risk of osteoporosis than those with the lowest intakes.
One tablespoon of chia seeds contains 122 milligrams of phosphorus and 47 milligrams of magnesium—about 17 percent and 15 percent of your recommended daily intake, respectively.
Chia seeds, however, are a complete protein, which makes them a good option for vegans and vegetarians, says Gidus Collingwood. While a tablespoon will only net you 2 grams (one reason why it shouldn't be your main protein source, says Jackson Blatner), you can boost your protein intake by making a chia seed pudding with soy milk and crushed almonds.
Chia seeds are a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid that may offer a "modest protection" against cardiovascular disease, according to 2014 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. ALA is an essential fatty acid; because your body can't produce it on its own, you have to consume it from food.
That said, Gidus Collingwood notes that people still need to get two other kinds of omega-3s—docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)—from fish and seafood. Although your body can convert some ALA into DHA and EPA, it can only do so in small amounts, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Tip: Pair yogurt with 7 grams of chia seeds to reduce your calorie intake 25% at your next meal.
Going out for a run? You might want to fuel up with chia seed drink first.
"Chia seeds soak up a lot of water, so they might help athletes or endurance runners stay hydrated," says Jackson Blatner. One 2009 study published in the journal Food Science and Technology found that one gram of chia flour could absorb almost 12 grams of water.
6. Chia seeds may help you lose weight.
A 2017 study in the journal Nutrition Research and Practice found that when people ate a snack of yogurt paired with either 7 or 14 grams of chia seeds, they ate 25 percent fewer calories at a later meal than those who just ate plain yogurt.
Because chia seeds are so good at absorbing water, it's thought that they can boost your satiety: "They actually expand and get this gelatinous consistency that helps people stay full a little bit longer," says Gidus Collingwood. And, of course, the high fiber content can help fill you up, too. | RedPajamaC4_77560085102967576 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Q: php $_REQUEST data is only half-decoded I am retrieving an encoded url via querystring. I need to pass it again to the next page. When I retrieve it the first time, using $_REQUEST['url'], only the slashes are decoded, e.g:
http://example.com/search~S10?/Xllamas&searchscope=10&SORT=D/Xllamas&searchscope=10&SORT=D&SUBKEY=llamas/51%2C64%2C64%2CB/browse
The php docs page for urldecode advises against decoding request data, and says that it will already be decoded. I need it either completely decoded, so I can encode it again without double-encoding some parts, or not decoded at all.
I'm not sure why my experience of this data is incongruous with the php docs. Appreciate any help or pointers to same!!
EDIT: attempt to post relevant code, which is scattered about:
the url is encoded and added to the querystring (in an html file using smarty template):
<a class="button" href="{$baseurl}search_nojs?searcharg={$searcharg|escape:'url'}&url={$next|escape:'url'}"><span>Next>></span></a>
if that link was followed, i'm grabbing the url back out of the querystring (in a php file):
if(array_key_exists('url', $_REQUEST)) {
$sm->assign("searchurl", $_REQUEST['url']);
}
Then I'd like to stick the url back into the querystring for the next link (in another html file):
href="{$baseurl}detail?bibid={$res.bibid}&searcharg={$searcharg}{if $searchurl}&searchurl={$searchurl}{/if}"
I'm also printing {$searchurl} straight onto the page, and getting the same half-escaped result.
Here is another example of the querystring vs. the data i get from $_REQUEST:
originally encoded url in querystring:
searcharg=mammals&url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsearch%7ES10%3F%2FXmammals%26searchscope%3D10%26SORT%3DD%2FXmammals%26searchscope%3D10%26SORT%3DD%26SUBKEY%3Dmammals%2F51%252C1114%252C1114%252CB%2Fbrowse
data retrieved from $_REQUEST:
searcharg=mammals&searchurl=http://example.com/search~S10?/Xmammals&searchscope=10&SORT=D/Xmammals&searchscope=10&SORT=D&SUBKEY=mammals/51%2C1114%2C1114%2CB/browse
I know this method may seem curious -- I am trying to make a mobile display, working around a black-box database. Thanks again for any help!!
A:
Here is another example of the querystring vs. the data i get from $_REQUEST:

searcharg=mammals&url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsearch%7ES10%3F%2FXmammals%26searchscope%3D10%26SORT%3DD%2FXmammals%26searchscope%3D10%26SORT%3DD%26SUBKEY%3Dmammals%2F51%252C1114%252C1114%252CB%2Fbrowse
This is double encoded. For example: %252C -> %2C -> ,
So at the point that you encode the url parameter, you're introducing double encoding. Perhaps you should ensure that, before encoding parameters, you decode them until they can be decoded no more (aka canonicalisation). You could use urldecode in a loop for this.
You also want to ensure that when you put the url parameter back into html context (as a link) that you escape for HTML Attributes too. Otherwise you have an XSS vulnerability.
A: The comma (U+002C) is a reserved character in the query and thus must be encoded with %2C:
3.4. Query Component
The query component is a string of information to be interpreted by
the resource.
query = *uric
Within a query component, the characters ";", "/", "?", ":", "@",
"&", "=", "+", ",", and "$" are reserved.

Q: ExpandableListView duplicate id problem - how to fix that? I am trying to make an Expandable ListView by following this great tutorial(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4XagtQlqS0). The problem that I have is when I want to "add" a second expandable text. The error that I get is "Duplicate id @+id/expandable_text originally defined here" And "Duplicate id @+id/expand_collapse, already defined earlier in this layout". It is a logical error but in the tutorial does not shown so is there something wrong with my code?

}
}
Thank you in advance for your help!
A: you are using same ids for textview and imagebutton you need to use unique Ids while defining layout views.
change your code as follows
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

A: Use R.id.expandable_text_view2 for second expandable textview.
ExpandableTextView expandableTextView1 = (ExpandableTextView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_text_view);
expandableTextView1.setText(getString(R.string.text1));
ExpandableTextView expandableTextView2 = (ExpandableTextView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_text_view2);
expandableTextView2.setText(getString(R.string.text2));
A: In your layout there are 2 ImageButton with the same ID. First, change the second ID:
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/expand_collapse_two"
android:layout_gravity="right|bottom"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:padding="16dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
In your Java code you declared the same ExpandableTextView:
ExpandableTextView expandableTextView1 = (ExpandableTextView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_text_view);
ExpandableTextView expandableTextView2 = (ExpandableTextView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_text_view);
So you need to change expandableTextView2 to:
ExpandableTextView expandableTextView2 = (ExpandableTextView) findViewById(R.id.expandable_text_view2);
Finally, your layout should looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Monday: The most complained about day in history. Yet so many people say, "I will start working out [or eating right or get organized and motivated at work] on Monday." The day you dread is also the day you feel you are going to be super stoked to start a big goal?! But hey, TGIM right? That's almost like telling someone to calm down when they're already calm.
Look, there is nothing wrong with always trying to have a super positive outlook. Positive vibes are great, but sometimes simply accepting that you aren't happy with your physical and/or mental health, or your job, or any other aspect of your life, is just as beneficial. Waiting a day or a week to make a life change is not going to make you any more motivated to make it happen.
Accept it but here's the key: MAKE A PLAN TO CHANGE IT.
There are 86,400 seconds in every day. That's 86,400 opportunities EVERY day that could be your moment. The moment you made the decision to take action instead of just talking about it. Whether you want to start working out, eat healthy, get a new job or climb the ladder at your current one; any hour, any minute, any second could be that moment. Why wait until tomorrow or next week? What is wrong with right now?
I'm sure some of you are thinking, Thanks for the encouragement bro, but I'm at work or with my kids, can't just drop everything and hit the gym. For those of you who don't know me, I'm not a delusional idiot. I get it, but in that moment when you leave work or drop the kids off and are about to start making excuses as to why you can't go to the gym, that is the moment I'm talking about.
1. Don't let a bad meal turn into a bad day, or a bad day turn into a bad week. So you had a weak moment and smashed a quadruple-sized breakfast meal with 37 sugars in your coffee. Your day does not have to be ruined, turn things around at lunch. And for the love of all things, when starting a nutrition plan, your first thought/question should not be about cheat meals. EARN IT by being consistent first!
2. You Google a new fitness routine and you're jacked to start. The program is set up for Monday, Wednesday, Friday but today is Wednesday. Sweet, I'll start on Monday! WRONG. It's just simply day one, day two, day three, with a rest day in between. So today or tomorrow is day one, skip a day and do day two, skip a day and do day three.
3. I do all the work and someone else gets credit, I get passed up for promotions because my boss hates me, insert all other complaints here. Don't ever let anyone control your success. One thing my dad always told me growing up in sports was, "Make it impossible for them to take you off the field." Meaning, if you consistently crush it, they can't ignore you. If there are ridiculous politics, then move on elsewhere but even the most horrible boss wants to make money. Control your effort, your mindset and your results, and you will get where you want to be.
We all push things off sometimes. We think, If I could just get past this, or pay that off, or wait until my schedule changes… I hate to break it to you, but you will never have all your ducks in a row and no one ever has all their crap together. Life is always going to happen. You will make mistakes and have setbacks, but don't let them be reasons you stopped, just get back on it the next meal or next workout or next work day. It is easier to figure out a way to keep going than to get started in the first place. The clock is ticking, so pick your second, your moment and make the change.

Industry Execs: Bitcoin Isn't a Visa Alternative, BTC Will Surpass It
Next Article: eToro Market Update: Crypto at a Crossroads
Since Bitcoin (BTC) garnered some semblance of traction, it has been touted as a viable alternative to traditional digital payment rails, like Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal. As ShapeShift Erik Voorhees said in a recent interview, BTC, unlike centralized digital monies, is free to use (accessible), borderless, and uncensorable — arguably making it a perfect substitute.

But one leading thinker and programmer in the industry has begged to differ. He claims that the crypto does (and shouldn't) compete with global payment infrastructures. Is this really a logical argument though?
An Alternative To Western Union, Not Visa?
At the recent 2019 Bitcoin Expo at MIT, Peter Todd, a cryptographer who participated in friendly discourse with Satoshi contender Hal Finney as a teenager, revealed some surprising thoughts about the leading crypto asset. Per Forbes, the former contributor to the Bitcoin Core client argued that BTC being using in day-to-day payments in brick and mortar stores isn't really its forte.
Remember MintChip? "Had this plan been approved, the world would have effectively had anonymous payments over the Internet that were difficult to shut down." https://t.co/VB51bHUtwD by @kyletorpey h/t @peterktodd via @ForbesCrypto
— Michael del Castillo (@DelRayMan) March 25, 2019
Todd explains that Visa and Mastercard, which have an effective iron grip over global payments, have "already won in many respects." Surprisingly, the long-time Bitcoin pundit adds that the cryptocurrency doesn't "have a hope" in Visa's realm, presumably due to the minimal levels of adoption, the relatively slow growth of the Lightning Network, and other shortcomings.
Thus, Todd tells the crowd that Bitcoin should be seen as an alternative to rails where regulation decreases speed and increases costs, such as the remittance markets that many in lesser-developed nations rely on.
In his eyes, Western Union's business model is entirely flawed, as the company purportedly relies solely on skirting regulations, paying fines, but continuing to operate globally, all while charging exorbitant fees and failing to make transactions quick. Attempting to convince his audience of this conviction, Todd stated:
"Of course, we don't recognize [the company's regulatory qualms] because we just go see the friendly Western Union agent, but that's what's actually happening in the background there, and it's a constant for them for: How do we keep running in these crazy countries?"
And to many, Bitcoin's viability in cross border payments makes total sense. (Maybe that's why the institution purportedly halted crypto-related payments once upon a time.)
Sending $500 domestically in the U.S. through the service costs $11, and takes four business days with a bank account payment. With a credit or debit card, a $500 domestic Western Union transaction takes minutes, much like cryptocurrencies, but the fee tallies up to a jaw-dropping $72.49. In both cases, digital assets, like BTC, are better suited for the job, as transactions are finalized within minutes, fees are under $1.00 (whatever the transaction size), and governments cannot actively censor as they please.
What Todd is trying to claim is that these characteristics don't exactly make Bitcoin ready to take on Visa or Mastercard.
Bitcoin Still To Overtake Visa
However, some are sure that with advancements like the Lightning Network, BTC could become a refreshed but decentralized version of Visa. As reported by NewsBTC previously, Morgan Creek's Anthony "Pomp" Pompliano explained that the valuation of all BTC in circulation could surpass the market capitalization of both Visa and Mastercard within 36 months' time.
Citing data from blockchain research unit Diar, Pomp explained that Bitcoin's miners were "paid a total of $5.8 billion in revenue in 2018." While this number seems irrelevant in and of itself, the Morgan Creek Digital partner notes that considering revenue multiples (revenue to market cap ratio), BTC is undervalued when compared to Visa and Mastercard, which both operate a slightly higher multiple than the flagship cryptocurrency.
With that, he writes that "given the fast growth rate and historical premiums" of promising upstarts and networks and the antiquated nature of Visa, Bitcoin should begin to creep up on the value of the two financial giants within the next three years.
While Pomp never explicitly stated that Bitcoin is cut out for use as a daily transactional tool, it was heavily implied that he sees the crypto asset as an alternative, or better yet, something new and entirely better.
And this entirely better thing might just be a revamped backbone to the macroeconomy. Dan Held, a co-founder at Interchange, once wrote in a Twitter thread that those pushing the sentiment that "Bitcoin was first made for payments" are bonkers, so to speak. Held subsequently explained that Bitcoin was conceived to become an alternative to banks, hence the iconic headline that Satoshi embedded in the Genesis Block's coinbase, not a new version of Visa. To back his claim, he drew attention to the network's cardinal rules — 21 million BTC supply cap, ten-minute blocks, and block size caps — claiming that Satoshi could have altered these values to push the digital money narrative.

Why clean brass or polish brass?
Brass and gold brings a burnished and warm glow to your household items. From door knockers and switch plates to bathroom fixates, furniture, utensils to lamps, brass and gold are used extensively. Gold and brass are corrosion resistant and strong alloys and because of their bright gold colours, they are one of the most popular decorative and home furnishing materials in the world.
Just like any other metal, brass and gold also tend to become tarnished and dull over time. However, you can easily clean brass items and polish brass to let them shine as bright as they can and make them look as good as new using the right brass cleaner and brass polish. Cleaning and polishing gold and brass lamps or other items is not difficult and you can do it with things that are commonly found in homes.
Before you begin with to clean brass items, you should find out whether the items are pure gold and brass or there is a mixture of other metals in it as well. An easy way to find it out is using a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the surface, it means there are other metals in it as magnets do not get attracted to solid brass and gold. If the items are plated, you can clean them with hot soapy water. However, polishing or rubbing them too vigorously with brass cleaner will remove their plating and can make them appear dull. Therefore, proceed with caution.
There are many ways to clean solid gold and brass lamps. The approach you take should depend on the level of dirt, tarnish or dust that has built up on the surface. Here are some simple techniques and tips.
Take a bowl and put some hot water in it. Now add liquid soap to the water and mix it well to get a fine solution. Take a cleaning cloth and rub all the surfaces thoroughly. You can also use an old toothbrush to clean the crevices of the lamp. Once you are satisfied with the cleaning, rinse the lamp using warm water and dry it up thoroughly. It is a great to clean brass.
If there are some tough stains, dirt or tarnish on the gold and brass lamps, you can use tomato ketchup, paste or sauce, which is a great to clean brass and polish brass. Rub a thin coat of one of these on the surface of the lamp and let it sit for at least an hour. Once done, clean it thoroughly with hot soapy water.
You can also use simple kitchen ingredients to clean gold and brass lamps. Make a mixture of equal portions of white vinegar, flour and salt. Mix it well and apply it to the surface of the tarnished lamps. Let it sit for at least an hour. Now rinse it with warm water and let it dry. All the tarnish will disappear and the lamps will look as good as new.
Another great method to clean and polish brass and gold lamps is to wash it up with a combination of salt and lemon. Take a lemon, cut it in half and remove the seeds. Take on half of the lemon and coat it with salt. Now rub it on the surface of the tarnished brass and gold lamps. You can recoat the lemon and salt as needed. Cover the entire surface of the lamp with this, take a clean and dry cloth and buff the lamp to a shine. You can also make a mixture of one part lemon juice and two parts cream of tartar. Make it into a paste and cover the lamp with it. Let the mixture sit on the gold and brass lamp for about 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and buff dry until it shines.
Commercial polishes and metal cleaners are also very effective in cleaning and polishing gold and brass lamps. We like to use WD-40. It is not only very easy to use, but is also quick and very effective. All you need to do is coat the gold and brass lamp with a layer of WD-40, which is a great to clean brass and let it sit for about 15-30 minutes. Take a clean cloth and rub the lamp in circular motions drying and buffing it up. It will clean and polish brass and gold lamp and will make it shine bright as good as new.
Here are some precautions you should keep in mind when cleaning and polishing gold and brass lamps using brass cleaner and brass polish.
Do not use scrubbing cloths that are highly abrasive. Similarly, avoid using steel wool or metal bristled brushes as they will leave scratches on the surface of the lamp.
A thin coating of mineral oil or linseed oil can be effective in preventing tarnishing. Apply the oil after cleaning the brass and gold lamp using a soft terry towel.
Most of the gold and brass lamps come with a lacquer finish. Therefore, it should not be cleaned using hot soapy water. If such gold and brass lamps are heavily tarnished, you need to use a varnish or paint remover to first remove the lacquer and then use on of the techniques mentioned above to clean and polish your gold and brass lamp. Once done, relacquer the lamp to keep it shining and protected.
Try avoid touching gold and brass items too much. Oil from your hands can hasten the tarnishing process and reduce the life of your gold and brass objects.
Your gold and brass lamps will keep shining for long if your clean and polish them regularly. It is important to avoid accumulation of dust, dirt and tarnish on objects made from gold and brass to keep them lustrous, bright and shiny. With the above mentioned tips and tricks, you can clean and polish all your gold and brass objects and not just lamps and make them look as good and shining as new. | RedPajamaC4_-6241617984958984927 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

COVID-19 Information for US Citizens in Mexico
While COVID-19 is no longer in effect for some travel destinations, you should be aware that certain restrictions do remain in place. For example, you are not required to quarantine in Mexico and you may not need to show proof of vaccination. However, you will have to pay for medical evacuation, and testing may still be required.
COVID-19 is still in effect in some destinations
Although the COVID-19 prevention measures are no longer in effect in all destinations, there are some that are still in effect. In Costa Rica, for example, there have been a number of reports of violent crimes against foreigners. This has been especially true in beach communities, but there has also been a rise in violence in the Central Valley area. In particular, there have been reports of Canadians being violently assaulted in Puerto Viejo and Puerto Limon.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic phase is now officially over in most destinations, the virus could continue to spread if a significant new variant is found. In this update, we examine lessons learned from the outbreak in Omicron, discuss the likely outcomes of future COVID-19 pandemics, and examine three potential criteria for determining whether a virus is still endemic.
The CDC monitors the global COVID-19 risk and issues travel health advisories. This information can help you make an informed decision when choosing a destination. Besides travel warnings, travelers can also look for travel health notices that are applicable to specific destinations. These may include information about COVID levels and non-COVID travel health notices.
While COVID-19 cases have decreased dramatically in recent weeks, the number of cases is still high in some destinations. Uneven access to the vaccine threatens to undo these gains. Vaccination campaigns are a proven way to reduce the risk of the pandemic.
Testing is not required to present proof of vaccination in Mexico
Currently, testing for COVID-19 is not required for visitors to enter Mexico. However, visitors must present proof of vaccination to prove their immunity. In order to enter Mexico, a person must fill out a health declaration form, which may take a few minutes to complete. Additionally, those returning to the U.S. must present proof of COVID vaccination to the State Department before boarding a plane or traveling to Mexico.
In addition, Mexico's governor has ordered that those 18 and older must present proof of vaccination when attending a public event or mass celebration. The new law requires proof of vaccination in the form of a negative PCR test within 48 hours. This new policy took effect on Friday and will apply to everyone who is 18 years old and over.
Since the beginning of the flu season, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have relaxed entry requirements for travelers with COVID-19. Although travelers with valid vaccine documentation do not need to undergo COVID-19 testing, the government of Mexico is encouraging vaccination, as the Omicron variant is highly contagious. As a result, the number of new cases of the disease in the U.S. has risen sharply. As a result, the requirement to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entry to Mexico has become the lowest since the pandemic.
The changes to COVID-19 testing were made in October 2021 after consultation with the White House and several federal agencies. The change was made to align with the requirements of international air travel. In the future, COVID-19 vaccination will not be required to travel to Mexico.
Beginning January 2022, foreign nationals entering the U.S. by land will need to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination. In addition, the U.S. government expects more than 450,000 cases of COVID-19 this year. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that you have the necessary vaccination in your passport.
Some destinations may still require you to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination, including the Dominican Republic. However, as of November 17 2021, El Salvador has lifted all COVID-19-related entry restrictions. You should still check with your airline to ensure the latest restrictions.
It is not required to quarantine in Mexico
No COVID-19 vaccination or blood test is required to enter Mexico. However, travelers should consult a healthcare provider in the country before they travel and be prepared for a health screening if symptoms of Covid 19 develop. Travelers should also check with their final destination to find out if quarantine is necessary for them.
The United States and Mexico governments are working together to battle the disease and prevent it from spreading to the United States. The border restrictions are expected to be in effect until at least February 2021, but the Mexican government and U.S. airlines are continuing to fly between the countries. They are reporting increased bookings. COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted in 2022, and travelers will no longer be required to be quarantined. For now, COVID-19 vaccination is required only for foreign nationals.
Mexico's land borders with Belize and Guatemala are likely to be closed periodically. These measures are determined state-by-state. For more information, visit the websites of local governments. This will provide you with updated information. The Mexican government has also instituted a traffic-light system that will help travelers determine the risk level associated with Covid19.
Travelers who have COVID-19 should have travel insurance before traveling abroad. Travel insurance coverage may cover the cost of quarantine and lodging in the destination country. During the quarantine period, travelers must stay in designated facilities. These facilities are designated by the chief of quarantine station.
Cost of medical evacuation in Mexico
Medical evacuation costs can be costly for U.S. citizens when they travel to Mexico. The cost of a dedicated air ambulance can cost anywhere from US$25,000 to US$60,000. Air ambulance services can provide a lifeline to patients in remote areas. The cost of medical evacuation is often covered by travel insurance. Regardless of the insurance coverage you have, you should consider the cost of a medical evacuation to Mexico.
Medical evacuation is a complex logistical process that involves several costs. Managing a medical evacuation in short order requires the right team and experience. It also requires coordinating with healthcare facilities and local doctors who may speak different languages. It is also necessary to deal with upfront payments and immigration procedures.
If you do not have travel insurance, you will have to cover the costs yourself. A medical evacuation company, like Air Ambulance Worldwide, will coordinate with medical staff and ensure the best care possible. The company also has the required permits. Depending on your medical needs, the costs may vary from $2,500 to $25,000 for a formal air ambulance flight.
Medical insurance in Mexico may differ from that of the U.S. and can be costly depending on the level of coverage and the number of family members covered. However, in general, medical insurance in Mexico costs around 38,000 MXN (1,700 USD) per year. This figure includes a deductible of approximately 11,000 MXN (5,000 USD).
The cost of giving birth in Mexico varies depending on the specific circumstances of the mother. In most cases, the mother will give birth in a maternity hospital, either public or private. It will be important for her to take all the necessary documents, including the pregnancy certificate, and baby supplies. Public or private systems vary greatly in the quality of care.
Public health insurance is cheap in Mexico, but overcrowded. Many expatriates opt for private insurance or supplemental coverage. It is essential to know which insurance provider covers which treatments and medications, and how to navigate the Mexican medical system.

Court officials get an inside look of new courthouse. They can suggest changes to the courtroom design.
CHAMBERBURG -- Judges and court officials will get a 3-D look at the courtrooms planned for the new county courthouse.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners on Thursday agreed to spend nearly $60,000 for the courtroom mock-ups.
"Measure twice, cut once," Commissioner Robert Thomas said. "Once the mock-up is completed, courtroom officials and staff can determine if it works and, if necessary, amend the final design specs before construction."
The county is spending $67 million to build a judicial center in the first block of North Main Street and an administration building on North Second Street. Demolition could begin this year. The project will take about three years.
Three full-scale, plywood mock-up courtrooms will be constructed by Sept. 1 in the warehouse space at 340 N. Grant St. The replica courtrooms ensure that lines of sight, traffic flow and key courtroom elements are placed properly prior to final construction, according to county officials.
Commissioner Bob Ziobrowski said the "smart step" will help keep the project on time and on budget.
Commissioners awarded the contract to the lone bidder, GRC General Contractor Inc. of Zullinger. The $59,902 award is contingent on architect and solicitor review.
After more than a decade of planning and false starts, commissioners agreed in January to build the judicial center. Safety and security are the main concerns at the existing courthouse complex and threaten the ability to administer justice, according to county officials. The current system is costly to separate victims, witnesses, jurors, defendants, judges, attorneys and the public.
The county is fixing up the warehouse on Grant Street and has a 10-year lease with an option to buy from b.developed LLC, Chambersburg. The space will temporarily house the county commissioners' and district attorney's offices.
A 1.5-mill hike in real estate taxes, or about $30 a year to the average homeowner, is expected to pay for the entire $67 million improvement project.

Maya Angelou , original name Marguerite Annie Johnson (born April 4, 1928, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.—died May 28, 2014, Winston-Salem, North Carolina), American poet, memoirist, and actress whose several volumes of autobiography explore the themes of economic, racial, and sexual oppression.
Although born in St. Louis, Angelou spent much of her childhood in the care of her paternal grandmother in rural Stamps, Arkansas. When she was not yet eight years old, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend and told of it, after which he was murdered; the traumatic sequence of events left her almost completely mute for several years. This early life is the focus of her first autobiographical work, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969; TV movie 1979), which gained critical acclaim and a National Book Award nomination. Subsequent volumes of autobiography include Gather Together in My Name (1974), Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas (1976), The Heart of a Woman (1981), All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes (1986), A Song Flung Up to Heaven (2002), and Mom & Me & Mom (2013).
In 1940 Angelou moved with her mother to San Francisco and worked intermittently as a cocktail waitress, a prostitute and madam, a cook, and a dancer. It was as a dancer that she assumed her professional name. Moving to New York City in the late 1950s, Angelou found encouragement for her literary talents at the Harlem Writers' Guild. About the same time, Angelou landed a featured role in a State Department-sponsored production of George Gershwin's folk opera Porgy and Bess; with this troupe she toured 22 countries in Europe and Africa. She also studied dance with Martha Graham and Pearl Primus. In 1961 she performed in Jean Genet's play The Blacks. That same year she was persuaded by a South African dissident to whom she was briefly married to move to Cairo, where she worked for the Arab Observer. She later moved to Ghana and worked on The African Review. | RedPajamaC4_1073069870509388195 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
War of the Rebellion: Serial 029 Page 0668 KY.,MID. AND E. TENN.,N. ALA.,AND SW. VA. Chapter XXXII.
Lieutenant-General Polk's line was both commanded and enfiladed. The dislodgment of this force or the withdrawal of Polk's line was an evident necessity. The latter involved consequences not to be entertained. Orders were accordingly given for the concentration of the whole of Major-General Breckinridge's division in front of the position to be taken, the addition to his command of ten 12-pounder Napoleon guns, under Captain F. H. Robertson, an able and accomplished artillery officer, and for the cavalry forces of Wharton and Pegram, about 2,000 men, to join in the attack on his right. Major-General Breckinridge was sent for and advised of the movement and its objects, the securing and holding of the position which protected Polk's flank and gave us command of the enemy's by which to enfilade him. He was informed of the forces placed at his disposal, and instructed with them to drive the enemy back, crown the hill, intrench his artillery, and hold the position. To distract their attention from our real object, a heavy artillery fire was ordered to be opened from Polk's front at the exact hour at which the movement was to begin. At other points throughout both lines all was quiet. General Breckinridge at 3.30 p. m. reported he would advance at 4 o'clock. Polk's batteries promptly opened fire and were soon answered by the enemy. A heavy cannonade of some fifteen minutes was succeeded by the fire of musketry, which soon became general. The contest was short and severe; the enemy was driven back and the eminence gained, but the movement as a whole was a failure, and the position was again yielded. Our forces were moved, unfortunately, so far to the left as to throw a portion of them into and over Stone's River, where they encountered heavy masses of the enemy, while those against whom they were intended to operate on our side of the river had a destructive enfilade on our whole line. Our second line was so close to the front as to receive the enemy's fire, and, returning it, took their friends in rear. The cavalry force was left entirely out of the action. Learning from my own staff officers, sent to the scene, of the disorderly retreat being made by General Breckinridge's division, Brigadier-General Patton Anderson's fine brigade of Mississippians (the nearest body of troops) was promptly ordered to his relief.
On reaching the field and moving forward, Anderson found himself in front of Breckinridge's infantry, and soon encountered the enemy's light troops close upon our artillery, which had been left without support. This noble brigade, under its cool and gallant chief, drove the enemy back and saved all the guns not captured before its arrival. Captain F. H. Robertson, after the disabling wound received by Major [R. E.] Graves (General Breckinridge's gallant and efficient chief of artillery), took the entire charge of all the artillery of the division in addition to his own. To his gallantry, energy, and fearlessness is due the smallness of our loss sustained before the arrival of support-only three guns. His report, herewith, marked 4, will show the important part he played in this attack and repulse. Before the end of the whole movement it was quite dark. Anderson's command held a position next the enemy, corresponding nearly with our original line, while Breckinridge's brigade commanders collected their scattered men as far as practicable in the darkness, and took irregular positions on Anderson's left and rear. At daylight in the morning the were moved to the front and the whole line re-established without opposition. During the night, Major-General Cleburne's division was retransferred to its original position on the right, and Lieutenant-General Hardee directed to resume his command there and restore our line.
On Saturday morning, the 3rd, our forces had been in line of battle for

Kula: Natural set for costume dramas with Ottoman houses

ALEC-BALDWIN
Thanks to its beautiful Ottoman-era civil architecture, Kula in western Turkey's Manisa continues to be a big attraction for filmmakers and producers. The town, with its historical houses and streets, is a natural film set, especially for costume dramas.
The town is currently hosting the shooting of the film "Muallim" ("The Teacher"), supported by the Culture and Tourism Ministry.
It tells the story of a young man who was sent to Europe to study engineering near the end of the Ottoman Empire and appointed to an Anatolian town as a teacher. The film is a co-production of Turkey's public broadcaster, TRT and stars actors Melih Selçuk, Sevtap Özaltun, Ruhi Sarı and Halit Karaata.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), director Müslim Şahin said: "In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, young people were sent abroad to study engineering, return to their country and contribute to the development of the country. However, some of these young people came back with a different agenda. In Anatolia, they had to live with the people they scorned and looked down on. On the other hand, the local people did not welcome them either. These young people were seen as the cause of the internal turmoil of the state in Anatolia at that time. Actually, this was a kind of affair that neither side welcomed. We have built the film 'Muallim' on that story. Then, the public and the young teacher in the movie interact with each other and both sides change."
Şahin noted that they are happy to see the people in Kula embrace cinema. He added that they carried out research in many parts of Turkey and decided that Kula, with its historical houses and streets, is the place where they could shoot the film.
He said Kula Municipality has also been very cooperative with the filmmaking. "Kula Mayor Hüseyin Tosun has provided the support we needed. They did their best to prepare the historical houses and streets. Local people have also contributed to the film. We have chosen most of the extras from among the locals."
Previously, films like "Vurun Kahpeye" ("Strike the Harlot") by Halit Refiğ and "Değirmen" ("The Windmill") by Atıf Yılmaz were also shot in Kula.

Rob Grimes, CEO of the International Food and Beverage Technology Association (IFBTA) sat down with Dale Grant, Senior Vice President of Global Food and Beverage for Oracle to discuss their involvement in the food and beverage industry and why they decided to become a global industry partner of the IFBTA.
(R) Hi this is Rob Grimes with the IFBTA and I have the pleasure this morning and being with Dale Grant, Senior Vice President of Global Food and Beverage for Oracle so welcome Dale, and welcome to the IFBTA.
(D) Hey Rob. Good day to you and it's great to be here today. We are excited about the partnership and all the things we're doing with the IFBTA. It's a great organization and we feel honored and privileged to be a part of that Rob. So thanks for having me today.
(R) Well, you know, Oracle really stepped up and, under your leadership, you really stepped up to be one of the founding global industry partners and I think that, if you're talking about a startup trade association, that's a little bit of a risk and as I see it, Oracle may be a really big company, and may be a little risk-averse. So what is it that you see in a startup trade association for the industry that makes you say it's worth the risk and let's back this thing?
(D) Well Rob, it's a great question, but I'll tell you the first thing is you're global and the organization is global and we are a global customer and we just have a presence in, you know, over 100+ countries. And so, the fact that you are global and this organization is, is an exciting facet to us and something we want to be a part of. I also Rob, I think that the key thing that also excited me, personally, is that it had a regional intimacy in the organization. The ability to engage with many different types of customers in different segments within hospitality whether it be quick service operators or fine dining, you've got representation from a regional basis and that was really appealing to us. Think about where we are at, we have hundreds of thousands of restaurants, pubs, stadiums, all different segments and this opportunity to participate and engage with the customers, Rob, in a regional but also a global nature was really appealing to us so we are really excited about that part of it.
(R) But you know, no one industry is a silo… and I'm going to guess that you are also able to draw on the experience and customer engagement, and how operators work in those other verticals as well, because they probably bring something to the table that you were able to leverage and share within the global food and beverage world.
(D) Absolutely, everything from best practices and by best practices, our ability is how we manage data centers, how we leverage oracle and manage the data centers, implementing best practices continually to improve but also if you think about some of the other business chains, there are opportunities around back office applications that can be leveraged in multiple industries so that is an extremely good point on something that we are going to continue to leverage across the connectivity between certain other industries that have common thread needs, we have extensions that we can leverage so that horizontal leverage is exciting for us.
(R) If I can put you on the spot, you're part of an organization and you're heading up one of the business units. Or you're within one of the business units heading up a vertical. So how do you actually get access to your peers to be able to do that sharing of the other seven global business units and see what you can pick and choose because they may not be looking after food and beverage – you are – but how do you figure out what may be out there that's available that you ought to try to leverage?
(D) So to think about that, we have leadership of those global business units reporting – our GBU's – they all come together. So each of those organizations have a connectivity point and, as we look at those, those are the key organizations that all have connection points with those. So, it's actually if you think about it, we have organizations that communicate even though they wake up every day thinking about serving an industry yet, that organization as a whole has connectivity points that we can leverage and that's truly an aspect, a strength and benefit we have. Think about it, we're investing at such a high percentage rate of anybody else in the industry but then getting that leverage across, those are really good points. Rob, I tell you, it's great to visit with you today and we sure appreciate being a part of it. We are excited about this industry and this community. Serving it and continuing to improve and drive innovation, be on top of the trends but also being a part of this global and regional community.
(R) So Dale, I really want to thank you for your personal leadership and support and going out there and supporting the IFBTA and also investing in innovation that is supporting those leaders in our industry as far as networking and education is concerned. We can't do that without your support and without Oracle's support as well. So thank you so much.
(D) And thank you Rob. We're excited and happy to be a part of it and as we move forward, to be continued so thank you very much. | RedPajamaC4_-2249050897193353243 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
The Sporty Duchess of Cambridge Chose Casual Chic Look to Visit the Scouts
The Scouts
Today, the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine was visiting the Scouts' headquarters at Gilwell Park in Essex to learn more about the organisation's new pilot scheme to bring Scouting skills for Life to younger children. The visit to Gilwell Park also marked the site's 100th anniversary.
Duchess of Cambridge at Scouts engagement in March 2013
In 2012 that Duchess volunteered with scouts when she was living in Wales during the first couple years of her marriage. Gertsroyals on twitter noted an interesting fact that the patronage of the UK Scouts is usually held by the Monarch. Duke of Kent is the current president of the scouts. May be in future we will see Duchess taking over the Duke of Kent as the President.
In November 2018, the Scouts announced 20 pilots in England to exploring the potential of providing Scouting to children between the ages of four and six. Research has shown that the first five years of a child's life are more pivotal for development, and for future health and happiness than any other single moment in their lifetime. Learn more about Pilots here. The visit was directly in line with Duchess' life long project of early year intervention. In the past year, Duchess has focused her public role on young kids and how early year intervention can ensure their bright future.
What a child experiences during its earliest years shape the development of the brain and influences interactions at school, work and in society. The new pilot will see Scouts test its exciting programme of activities – which currently reaches 473,000 young people between the ages of 6 and 25 in the UK – to younger children, equipping them with the life skills and values of teamwork, leadership and resilience.
Gilwell Park FB
2019 also marks the 100th anniversary of Gilwell Park, a site recognised internationally as the home of Scouting. Located on the edge of Epping Forest, it is a Scout campsite dating back to 1754, training and adventure centre, and home to the organisation's UK headquarters.
Each year, the Park welcomes thousands of Scouts, schools and youth groups to develop their character skills, including taking the initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid.
It is a well-known fact that Duchess is a nature lover and spends lots of time outside with her three children. Today, she met with kids who are part of the pilot scheme to explore the potential of providing Scouting to children, aged four and five, equipping them with the life skills and values of teamwork, leadership and resilience.
Established in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell Scouting currently reaches 473,000 young people between the ages of six and 25 in the UK. The pilot scheme for children aged four and five is working to narrow opportunity gaps between disadvantaged young people and their peers and aid their onwards progress into the wider world.
Kensington Royal
The Duchess joined a number of sessions with young children including activities to improve communication and teamwork, such as balloon rockets, the alphabet game and sailing boats.
A group of Scouts aged 14 to 18 also showed Catherine, who her self was a brownie along with her sister Pippa during her childhood, a number of Gilwell Park's iconic features, including the famous Gilwell Oak, named UK Tree of the Year in 2017.
Sporty Duchess was not afraid of getting dirty as she joined kids at the Gilwell Park. Kids painted her hand during activity.
We got a very cute shot of Duchess when she joined a little in a den built against a tree and said, "It's very waterproof, isn't it?"
The den looked similar to the 'rustic den' featured in the Duchess' Chelsea Flower Show garden design that will be on display this year. From People Magzine,
She got inside a den that had just been built by the Beavers, the youngest scouts. They'd tested whether it was water proof "three trials were dry, one was wet! We are very proud that it was three quarters there," says, Frankii Newbury , the early year's pilot project leader says. "She got straight in there with one of our Beavers and checked it out. It was wonderful and the scouts absolutely loved her. The highlight was the Duchess, smack bang in the middle of it all, getting in a den — braver woman than I am."
Duchess stood for a group photograph with staff and children.
Before leaving, The Duchess planted an oak sapling to mark the 100th anniversary of Gilwell Park.
During the visit, Duchess met with parents and trainers of kids participating in the pilot scheme. A beautiful shot of exciting kids holding flags to wave Catherine goodbye.

Queen Letizia finished the Argentina visit in Monochrome Style
CasaReal
On the end of the State visit to Argentina, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain presided over the VIII International Congress of the Spanish Language, which will be held in Córdoba from March 27 to 30. They were joined by the President and First Lady of the host country.
The event will bring together more than 200 writers, academics, experts and professionals from all over the Spanish-speaking world who will debate around the motto "America and the future of Spanish. Culture and education, technology and entrepreneurship ".
The Congress is part of the series of international congresses promoted by the Cervantes Institute, the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language (ASALE) and, on this occasion, also by Argentina as the host country.
The sessions were organized around five thematic sections or axes: "Spanish, the universal language", "Language and interculturality", "Challenges of Spanish in the education of the 21st century", "Spanish and the digital revolution" and "The competitiveness of Spanish as a language for innovation and entrepreneurship".
Each section was organized in a plenary session that begins with a general presentation, followed by one or two round tables discussions among several panels that deal with a sectorial approach to the issues under discussion. Issues such as the Ibero-American future of Spanish, the incidence of digital technologies, the economic value of Spanish, the challenges of cultural industries, language tourism, translation, linguistic miscegenation, exiles, teaching Spanish and his literature or Judeo-Spanish, among many others, were discussed.
After the congress, the royal couple visited the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts Emilio Caraffa, where they received in audience the Spanish Community resident in Cordoba.

Robert Durst's New Orleans charges could carry long prison sentence
By Molly Hennessy-Fiske,
Joseph Serna, Richard Winton
Reporting from New Orleans —
When Robert Durst was arrested in New Orleans and charged with two crimes, a search of his room turned up a .38 revolver and about 5 ounces of marijuana, records show.
For a first-time offender, the charge of illegally carrying a weapon in the presence of a controlled substance carries a maximum penalty of 10 years, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon carries a maximum of 20 years, according to Orleans Parish district attorney's office spokesman Christopher Bowman.
But for someone with a felony record, the maximum penalty could be life in prison, Bowman said.
Bowman declined to say Thursday whether his office plans to prosecute Durst before he is extradited to California.
"We're still evaluating the case," Bowman said.
Prosecutors in New Orleans have the right to hold, and try, Durst before he is sent back to California to answer for the murder of his friend Susan Berman, but that does not mean he will be tried first in New Orleans, legal experts say.
"Usually they're going to ship him off to the place where the charges are more serious," said Dane Ciolino, a professor at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. "But there's no obligation. ... In theory, they could keep him here, prosecute him and, if he's convicted, force him to serve his sentence and only then would he be sent to California."
Still, Ciolino said, it's "too early to tell" if the Orleans Parish District Attorney will actually take that route.
"I think New Orleans surprised the defense team," said T. Gerald Treece, a professor at Houston's South Texas School of Law who has also taught at Pepperdine University in Malibu. "Usually extraditions are worked out through professional courtesy. But there's no law that says Louisiana has to give him up."
Ciolino said prosecutors in Los Angeles and New Orleans could work out a "re-extradition agreement," under which Durst would be returned to Louisiana after being tried in L.A.
Meanwhile, Durst remains in custody in a mental health facility because he has been deemed at risk of suicide.
Court paperwork requesting that Durst be moved to the facility shows that officials asked that his case be expedited due to "inmate safety."
"Medical staff of the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has determined that [Durst] raises several risk factors for acute mental illness which require further immediate evaluation of [Durst] as the acute mental illness unit" and issued him a "suicide risk order set" to be transferred.
The local jail's warden, Col. Michael Laughlin, recommended in an affidavit that Durst be moved to Elayn Hunt Correctional Center, where the sheriff has contracted with state prison officials to house inmates with acute mental illness.
Laughlin said Durst should remain there until he is "determined to no longer be a risk to himself." Details of the assessment of Durst by jail nurses were sealed.
Durst was arrested Saturday in New Orleans in connection with the 2000 fatal shooting of Berman at her Benedict Canyon home. He was charged Monday with murder, and the next day transferred to the mental health facility at a state-run prison in Louisiana.
His extradition to California has been delayed as authorities in New Orleans deal with the drugs and weapons allegations.
Meanwhile, New York authorities remain interested in Durst as they continue to investigate what happened to his first wife, Kathleen, who disappeared in 1982.
Kathleen Durst vanished after she expressed the desire for a divorce. To a friend, she had confided worries about what her husband might do.
Following the disappearance, Berman acted as an "informal spokesman" for Durst. The pair had met at UCLA, where they went to school together.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles allege that Durst killed Berman to prevent her from speaking to police about the disappearance of his wife. Durst could face the death penalty for the murder charge with special circumstances.
Less than a year after Berman's death, Durst turned up in Galveston, Texas, in connection with the killing of an elderly neighbor, Morris Black. Black's dismembered body, in several plastic bags, was discovered in the waters offshore. A trail of clues led to Durst's arrest.
Durst didn't deny dismembering Black, but he said he inadvertently shot him while wrestling a gun from him.
A jury acquitted him in 2003.
Although Durst's life has seen a series of high-profile brushes with the law, suspicions about him exploded into a national sensation as they played out in a six-part HBO series, "The Jinx."

We've looked at the four key ingredients of user experience this week (if you missed the first four parts to this series – they can be found under the UX Daily tab on our website); information architecture, interaction design, visual design and usability engineering. But how do they come together in the user experience designer's work?
You do not need to be a superstar in each of the four areas that come together to produce a great user experience design in order to be a user experience designer. In fact, it's incredibly unlikely (not impossible but unlikely) that anyone will achieve mastery in all four areas.
Visual design is not essential. Why? Because a UX designer will be able to pass on fairly basic wireframes or prototypes to a visual designer to do their thing with. That doesn't mean that a UX designer doesn't need to be able to recognize good visual design – that's the end part of the process where you'll evaluate the work in hand and make recommendations. Most businesses will have someone responsible for visual design because there's so much that requires visual design in modern companies. Brochures, websites, marketing, manuals, etc. all require that visual touch and it's probably the easiest of the skillsets to skip if you're looking to get into user experience design.
Usability engineering is a nice to have. Why? Mainly because the best usability engineers also tend to be academics. It's not that this is an unimportant skill but it's often a skill that is best left to a specialist rather than a generalist.
UX designers need to be able to communicate well with visual designers and usability engineers and help them deliver what's necessary to make a project move forward.
On the flip side it's probably a good idea for a UX designer to have a strong understanding of interaction design and information architecture. In smaller businesses these areas are likely to be the key components of the UX designers work alongside user research in general. They are skills which can be learned relatively easily, through application and study, and can be quickly iterated with the help of users to the point where they deliver tangible benefits.
Well, a User Experience Designer brings together all the components of user experience into a cohesive whole. They ensure that the elements work in conjunction with each other rather than pulling in different directions. They own responsibility for the end result – the user experience and in some cases, they will also own part of the responsibility for the smaller results of each part of the user experience design.
Sadly, this isn't the end of the road for the UX Designer but rather the beginning; there are a whole host of more generic skills that are required to be a great UX Designer – like leadership, communication, project management, presenting, etc. but it's a good place to begin mastering this demanding and exciting profession. | RedPajamaC4_-9031185655518673325 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
I came back into town and was shocked to read Amy resigned. I worked with her for several years at the County, and found her to be knowledgable, hard working, and one who truly cares about services to citizens. Her leaving indicates she's tired of dealing with clowns. A great loss to the County. I hope her next employer provide her the recognition and appreciation she deserves.
Don't go out like this Amy.
At least Fire some of these deadbeats causing the problems 1st.
Someone has to quit cowering from them.
2 things: Quitters never win.
I think they are cowards for letting D2 Grandstand from this budget push. They think people don't connect the dots. Even at public forum I think you will see that you guys main rep may be seeing a more subtle timely approach may be better. Some gave a monster some bait and he took it but yeah the other sweetheart s were hoping maybe no one noticed that they play politics for votes but are actually losing because we hate spinless politicians.
So I'll limit my response to stating that there was nothing of a political nature in the comment I left here on Ms. Lovoy's resignation, unless it's politics to speak regret about the loss of a decent, capable, and long-time public servant. I have, however, commented on the politics and context of her resignation through other venues, including during public forum at the BOCC meeting this morning.
Sounds like the new Administrator is in for a fun ride. Pleasing the egos of some (one) on the commission will be a challenge. It's a shame. The position should be attractive for any qualified candidate, but this environment reminds me why Pensacola has always struggled to make progress.
Rats leaving a sinking ship.
Amy Lovoy, you will be GREATLY missed by the citizens of Escambia County.
I am seeing a common thread unraveling here. Four top level administrators have decided that their integrity, honesty, work ethic, strengths and personal dedication to the People has been basically sabotaged by some persons on the BoCC who are impossible to please and to work with. This is the tipping of an iceberg and hopefully some from the state level will investigate the shenanigans that go on.
Unresolved landfill issues causing harm to citizens, unsafe conditions by ignoring the legitimate needs of Public Safety EMS, Fire, etc.
BoCC persons who have obvious special interests in their district and in kowtowing to their more influential individuals and groups. Ignoring the needs for roadway improvements, etc.
The list of "Issues" is near endless.
Seeing these top 4 persons decide to leave tells us that there is more going on that has yet to be brought to the light of day.
BoCC you have collectively begun to lose the confidence of we who voted to put you into office to represent US.
Top level persons can leave because they usually find equal employment elsewhere.
Hands-on workers from the beginning to top mid-level employees cannot leave because of vested time, if they leave they risk losing retirements. So they stay and work hard and keep pushing the ball ahead hoping for a better county for all.
Two of our "Representatives" need to drop their high school sniping at each other on facebook and other media and GROW UP and do the job for which you were elected. You and WE know who you are.
Lord Help WE the Citizens of Escambia County.
@ Uh Buh, Elmer, Miz Gilly brings the quality of integrity to our table.
She may not have a doctorates of business administration, communications, economics and political science from Yale, but she does an excellent job.
Melissa pine. I see you are a person who is playing personal politics. Your name pops up everywhere. I was never interested in voicing my opinions about local politics until they removed the cover of this cesspool. I have no personal ties to any of your commissioners so I do not see the need to support either, however you seem to be blindly following bergosh and his anger toward mr Underhill. It is obvious there's an internal issue that should've been dealt with. I'm sure ms Lovoy is a very nice individual, I'm sure she was great at the budget. This does not mean she made a great interim administrator. Too many coincidences between her and Weaver. She made the right decision to leave. Let's start with a clean slate and get your public safety department squared away. I have to give Underhill kudos for standing up what is the appropriate course to move on.
This is truly a loss for Escambia County. I worked with Amy for a number of years and she is a truly devoted employee who always did what was right for the citizen. She is dedicated, professional and detail oriented. She will be a huge asset to the organization that picks her up. Job well done!
I think it's great that Comm. Underhill has a Facebook page that actually let's the public really know what's happening in our county! Information should be made public, not done behind closed doors.
There is no better person than Amy Lovoy to guide and direct this County. The BOC was unappreciative of her work and showed no appreciation or respect for her at the April 11, 2019 meeting. Shame on them and shame on elmer and others who show no respect for those who work so hard to make our lives better.
Captain Obvious- Just like in today's day and age, you have failed at due diligence. Have you seen what Bergosh has posed on his blog, Escambia Citizens Watch? What he post on Facebook about his constituents and other citizens of this County? The cleaning of this County was, is long over due. There are some coming in and trying to make this County better and some still settling for the status quo. The trains leaving and it's time to make a decision to get on board or get left behind.
I worked directly for Amy for several years. I have never admired and respected anyone as much as Amy. I retired in April of 2010 and have missed working for the county and OMB staff. I wish Amy all the best that life has to offer.
The old adage, "where there's smoke, there's fire" applies here. The smoke has been getting worse as each person resigns in rapid succession. With Ms. Lovoy's sudden resignation it seems there's a fully involved structure fire about to make it's presence known.
Brace yourselves, this one may be a doozy.
Underhill is causing all this. He is publicly undermining the top level authority, going to the media, usurping the will of the board and posting it all over Facebook. I blame the other commissioners for not reigning him in.
This is a sad loss for Escambia County governance and for our community as a whole.
Ms. Lavoy has handled her term as Interim County Administrator with toughness and grace, especially given the pressing administrative needs and the fact that she was juggling numerous roles.
My personal experience with her has been of an engaging, earnest, and good-humored public servant. More important, her institutional knowledge will be gravely missed.
Thankfully, she has committed to staying long enough to see us through a number of the ongoing challenges our County governance faces. We should all be grateful for that. Much good will come of it.
Take your friend Janice with you. Maybe the county will actually see some progress now. | RedPajamaC4_2363143771975498170 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's banks are likely to welcome Theresa May as the next prime minister and will look to her to start negotiating for their continued access to the European Union's single market after the country exits the bloc.
Banks registered in the Britain are currently granted a "passport" to offer their services across the EU from their UK base, thus saving huge amounts on meeting capital requirements and other costs by not having to set up shop in each member state.
Britain has to negotiate new trading terms with Europe after it voted last month to leave the bloc, and banks like HSBC <HSBA.L> have said they would shift staff to the EU unless broad passporting rights were kept.
Some of May's Conservative Party rivals in the contest to become prime minister had said Britain should not seek continued access to the single market as this would mean accepting the freedom for EU citizens to find work in the UK.
Her main rival Andrea Leadsom - who dropped out of the race on Monday to leave May as the only runner - had ardently campaigned for Brexit and said at the weekend the single market was "not a term that is any longer relevant to this discussion".
May, who was in the pro-Remain camp, has adopted a more conciliatory stance since the referendum result and has signaled a willingness to compromise on the trade-off between single market access and curbing EU migrants.
"I want to be clear that as we conduct our negotiations, it must be a priority to allow British companies to trade with the single market in goods and services, but also to regain more control of the numbers of people who come here from Europe," she said this month.
May has said she would not begin formal Brexit negotiations with the EU before the end of the year. There is no certainty over how the talks will play out.
The 59-year-old is more likely to seek a "soft Brexit" from the EU which maintains access to the single market for financial services, said Daniel Vernazza, lead UK economist at UniCredit.
A "soft Brexit" refers to seeking continued access to the EU's single market to an extent in return for accepting some free movement of people. A "hard Brexit" - as advocated by Leadsom - would mean curbing EU migrants as fast as possible, even at the expense of cutting off single market access.
The City of London financial district has stressed the need to be able to continue recruiting finance staff from the rest of Europe. Several EU countries have said there can be no compromise on freedom of movement.
City of London policy chairman, Mark Boleat, sounded a note of relief on Monday after news that May was set to become the next prime minister.
"The City of London Corporation looks forward to working with her in supporting the City and financial and professional services," Boleat told Reuters.
"It is crucial for the millions of people who work in these industries that we maintain our access to the single market, and UK businesses continue to have access to the global talent that will enable them to grow and remain globally competitive."
May would be aware of the City of London's importance to the economy, having worked for the Bank of England and as a financial consultant before becoming a lawmaker in 1997.
The pound and shares rose on news she was set to become the next prime minister, but financial lawyers said she would need to act quickly on trade talks because banks were putting some transactions on hold due to uncertainty.
"People need certainty as quickly as reasonably possible, at least on the process and broad timing, which would calm people down," said Jonathan Herbst, a lawyer at Norton Rose Fulbright who advises banks.
"In terms of substance, clearly the right noises on the optimal trading position would be good," he said. | RedPajamaC4_975966676143199933 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Let's make this delicious protein-rich grilled tofu recipe which is flavored with sharp and pungent hoisin sauce. If you already have the sauce ready in your kitchen, the remaining process is dead simple. Use extra firm (well pressed) tofu to get the best results. It can be used both as a starter as well as a main course entry. Believe it or not, but I prefer to relish it with brown rice. I've grilled it for a slightly lesser time than normal though you are free to elongate the grilling period. If a regular grill is not available, you use a nonstick grill pan for the same. One can also thread marinated tofu cubes on skewers before grilling. Let's make this mouth-watering grilled tofu preparation in a few easy steps.
Do try this simple yet extremely delicious grilled tofu recipe which is flavored with tasty hoisin sauce and is grilled to perfection for a unique texture.
Take a bowl and add sesame oil, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic cloves paste, Thai chili sauce, five spice powder, black pepper powder, miso paste, honey and salt in it.
Whisk all the ingredients briskly for about 2 minutes to prepare the hoisin sauce.
Cut the entire brick into cubes and brush hoisin sauce on all the sides of every cube. Leave some sauce in the bowl.
Leave the marinated tofu brick aside for at least an hour. The longer you keep, the better it will be.
Preheat your grill on a medium setting.
Grill the tofu cubes for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Arrange all the grilled cubes in the form of a complete brick.
Sprinkle left hoisin sauce on the grilled brick followed by a sprinkle of white sesame seeds.
Garnish with carrot and cucumber julienne. Serve hot. | RedPajamaC4_-919486230460505043 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

I feel ,whatever we make, the new recipes, the traditional old ones ,though appreciated always, sometimes fails to satisfy the family members , especially when a particular demand is not fulfilled.Everything else made with love loses its value.Oh??You did not understand… Just a thought. We have to keep on looking for new recipes or modify the old ones so that there is some so called change. So today , I made this kadi( spicy buttermilk) the usual way, only, thought of adding some cucumber cubes. I have never used cucumber in anything expect in salads and recently in my bhel….
Buttermilk is the best drink to beat the scorching heat of the hot summers. And cucumber eaten raw or in juiced form quenches thirst and always keeps your body hydrated,as it is rightly said"as cool as cucumber". Combining this makes a ideal drink for the summer. One can refrigerate this and can have the chilled drink number of times a day. It has a lot of health benefits also. I am sending this as my entry for fun 'n' sun event hosted by easycrafts. | RedPajamaC4_5875455128246394278 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

From Afghanistan to Austin: How two Army veterans landed their first Salesforce roles
Author: Roger & Joan No Comments Share:
Every veteran asks themselves the same question when they leave the military, "What am I going to do now?"
Transitioning from a military career to a corporate career is scary because everything you do in the military, you do as a member of a team and the criteria for mission success are laid out. When you leave the military, you feel alone because your teammates can't go with you on this mission and how well you do lies directly on your shoulders.
In this blog post, we are going to describe our transition journeys and how through Merivis, we found a community that supported and guided each of us to successfully getting our first jobs in the Salesforce ecosystem.
Kandahar, Afghanistan, 2014-2015
Roger: Joan and I first met when we were both assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division headquarters staff. We were deployed to Afghanistan and I served as the Chief of Current Operations (CHOPS) for the command. As the CHOPS, I was in charge of the Operations Center staff. Together, we were responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations and providing resources like artillery, drones, and helicopters to units in need.
Joan: During this deployment, I served as the Intelligence Battle Captain providing intelligence updates and threat assessments to the Deputy Commander. I split my time reporting to Roger at the operations center and collaborating with my intelligence team at the sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF). We worked together every single day, seven days a week, and together our purpose was to assist our subordinate units on the battlefield.
Those days were long and unpredictable. Some were relatively calm, and others seemed like an endless string of frenetic events. Despite some difficult times, we all knew we could always count on each other when we needed help.
Fort Hood, Texas, 2015-2018
We returned from our deployment and went our separate ways. Roger stayed on Fort Hood but was reassigned to serve as the Deputy Director for the Fort Hood simulation center. Joan got promoted soon after deployment and stayed in the 1st Cavalry Division headquarters staff serving as the Intelligence Operations Officer. However, less than a year after coming home, she made the hard decision to separate from the Army when she found out she was expecting her first child.
Roger: By 2015, I had been in the Army for 18 years and I knew that this would be my last assignment. I had three years left until I could retire and I knew that I would have to start planning for my second career. The thought of starting overfilled me with anxiety. I wasn't a 20-year old kid anymore; I had a wife and two kids who were counting on me to get this transition thing right.
I reached out to a former boss of mine, Dave Lee, who had made a successful transition into the corporate world. Dave was gracious enough to take my call and candid enough to tell me where my shortcomings were to improve my deficiencies. I poured into LinkedIn and started reading everything I could about the military transition process. I researched different career paths and took advantage of whatever training and military transition programs I could.
The more I looked, the more programs I found. I got certifications from CompTIA, IBM, and PMI. Despite all this, I was still nervous because, despite the certifications and growing my LinkedIn network, I still hadn't found something that excited me. I didn't want to just transition AWAY from the military, I wanted to transition TOWARDS a new career.
Joan: Life never goes as planned! After submitting my paperwork to separate from the Army in mid-2015, I started the transition process thinking I may become a teacher or work for a three-letter agency within the intelligence field. Instead, I decided to take a break and stay at home with my son while going back to school using my GI Bill. My husband and I moved back to our hometown, Houston to be close to family. After obtaining my MBA, I was excited to finally enter the corporate world.
I joined the Army when I was 17 years old as a Private and never had any working experience other than my nine years in the Army. It was all I knew, and I was afraid to get out of my comfort zone. After two years of leaving the service, I finally attended 'Career Transition Workshops' for veterans and accepted a short stint working as a Logistics Manager. The job was an easy transition from the Army as both required operational excellence, and managing a team that was similar to leading soldiers. But I saw it more like a job and not a career where I can grow. I decided to stay home again when I got pregnant with my second son and figure out what I wanted to do when I grow up. I truly wanted to find a challenging career that I loved and be there to raise my two boys.
Austin, Texas, 2018-2019
Roger: It was March 2018, and I had done a fair amount of networking via LinkedIn, but I needed to get out and do some face-to-face networking. I'm an introvert by nature, so this was something I dreaded doing, but I knew it was a necessary part of the process. I had read articles on networking and even bought a couple of books on how to talk to people (yes, I needed that much help!).
SXSW was going on in Austin and there were lots of Veteran-themed networking events. I had connected with Nolan Melson via LinkedIn and I knew he would be at one, so I made it a priority to speak to him when I saw him. When we met, he asked me what I did in the Army and then he asked me if I had heard of Salesforce. I answered "no," but Nolan explained that he was a board member for an Austin-based non-profit called Merivis. He thought that I would be a great candidate for their upcoming cohort in April, so he sent me the application link on the spot.
The following morning I Googled 'Salesforce', and it didn't take me long to realize the massive opportunity that I had found. I applied, was accepted, and I completed the in-person training in the second week of May 2018. Since I was scheduled to deploy to Kuwait in June, I scheduled my Admin exam for May 23rd and thankfully I passed in my first attempt!
Joan: In July 2018, I was again a stay-at-home-mom and six months pregnant but I continued to stay active on LinkedIn. My days were consumed with changing diapers, reruns of "Super WHY", coordinating play dates and an endless repeat of the annoying but catchy 'Baby Shark' song. One day, I was browsing through LinkedIn and noticed Roger had various certificates including the PMP so I reached out for some advice. I was not sure where my career path was going but knew that obtaining more certificates would help me once I was ready to get back in the workforce. He immediately called me and was eager to tell me about Salesforce. The fact that he called me instead of messaging me back was a bit surprising to me because Roger and I were not friends or peers, he was three ranks ahead of me in the Army and I looked up to him as a mentor. At first, I kind of brushed him off about Salesforce, thinking it would be some kind of sales job working commission. I was more interested in learning about the PMP as I knew the certificate is well known and respected in the business world, but I had never heard of this thing called Salesforce.
After doing some research and seeing the potential in the job market, I finally decided to give this Salesforce thing a try. (I know it took me a long time to jump on board). The first steps Roger recommended was for me to become a member of Vetforce, sign up for Trailhead and apply for the 5-week Merivis program. The best part? Everything was free so what could I lose! I took his advice, applied, and got in. However, due to scheduling conflicts and my son being born, I was not able to attend until the 8th Merivis Austin cohort in May 2019. To my amazement, almost five years after deploying to Afghanistan together, I was reunited with Roger in Austin and I was so grateful that he shared his advice. I soon got certified in June and can honestly say this has been the best career decision I've made.
You're Hired!
Roger: I connected with Danny Cohen via LinkedIn on June 24, 2018, while I was still deployed to Kuwait. I had followed his content and engagement with others and I was impressed with his authenticity. Since he was the VP of Computer Futures, a tech recruiting company in Austin, the connection was a no-brainer for me.
Danny and I communicated regularly, building the foundation of a professional relationship. It wasn't until the Merivis Reunion Party in October that I got to meet Danny for the first time. I posted about it on LinkedIn the following day. Serendipitously, the selfie I took included Merivis board member, Stephanie Herrera. By January 2019, Computer Futures announced that Stephanie had joined them as their Global VP of Salesforce.
By April 2019, I was less than six months away from retiring from the Army. I invited Danny and Stephanie to meet to ask for advice and enjoy a cup of coffee. Since they are two of the most successful and inspirational leaders I've met, I wanted their advice on how I could achieve similar success. I was completely shocked when they asked me if I'd ever considered a career as a recruiter because they thought I would do well in the position. Needless to say, since they both believed I could do it, I interviewed with Computer Futures as was offered a position.
My first day of work at Computer Futures was August 1st, and I couldn't be happier. I don't know much about recruiting yet, but after spending a career in the military walking into completely new working environments, I'm confident that I will succeed!
Joan and the Houston Salesforce Saturday crew
Joan: After attending the Merivis training, I had this high and was super excited for my future in the #ohana. Some people would say I drank the blue kool-aid, but I think I knew there was no output without significant input. I constantly learned on Trailhead, created a Twitter account, started attending the local Salesforce Saturday and the monthly user group meetings.
Essentially, I wanted to absorb as much as possible and get plugged in and network with other Salesforce Trailblazers in the Houston community. To my advantage, a friend I met at Salesforce Saturday told me about an opportunity volunteering at a non-profit organization. I volunteered there for a month before I got a message from Paul Fury on LinkedIn. Initially, I did not think much about the message as I thought it was the typical generic congratulation messages from tech recruiters that I've seen after posting my certificate on LinkedIn. But I could tell this was something different.
Paul the CEO and founder of The Fury Group, a CRM consulting company in Houston, is also an Air Force veteran and active in the Vetforce community. We had something in common as we both served in the military and connected during the interview. I officially started working at The Fury Group on July 15th as a Business Analyst. I love my job and am already learning so much.
Joan Brothers and Paul Fury
Although, at times, I feel like I am drowning from drinking out of the fire hose. I am confident that I will learn quickly and very grateful to the Salesforce Ohana for the constant support. It's not knowing all the answers, but knowing who and where to find the answers.

L'invasion mongole en Géorgie est un ensemble d'expéditions organisées au par l'empire Mongol contre le royaume de Géorgie, un état dont la superficie correspond à l'actuelle Géorgie, à l'Arménie et une grande partie du Caucase. Cette invasion commence en 1220, lorsque les généraux mongols Subötaï et Djebé pénètrent dans les terres géorgiennes pour poursuivre le Chah Ala ad-Din Muhammad, lors de l'invasion mongole de l'empire Khorezmien et s'achève en 1243 avec la soumission à l'empire mongol.
Situation avant le début de l'invasion
Lorsque les Mongols arrivent dans la région, le roi Georges IV de Géorgie (Lacha Georges), le fils de Tamar de Géorgie se prépare pour défendre la terre sainte et partir en croisade, ce qui retient fortement son attention. Visiblement le royaume de Géorgie n'a pas prêté attention au grand risque que représentent les Mongols. Djebé et Subötaï, deux des meilleurs généraux de Gengis Khan, sont déjà dans les environs de l'Azerbaïdjan et de l'Iran au début de l'hiver 1220, alors que s'achève l'invasion mongole de l'empire khorezmien.
Première invasion mongole en Géorgie
Djebé et Subötaï sont arrivés dans cette région en poursuivant le Chah Ala ad-Din Muhammad, le roi de l'empire khorezmien, qui s'est réfugié sur les bords de la mer Caspienne après avoir fui devant l'avancée des Mongols. Après la mort du Shah et avec l'accord de Gengis Khan, les deux généraux mongols partent explorer la région et, en 1220, atteignent la rivière Araxe, qui correspond alors à la frontière géorgienne. Ils s'introduisent dans le saeristavo dirigé par Waram Gagel en traversant la rivière. Face à eux se trouve le roi Georges IV a la tête d'une armée composée de géorgiens et arméniens. La bataille commence bien pour les Géorgiens qui repoussent les Mongols, mais ces derniers se regroupent, attirent leurs ennemis dans un piège en feignant de se replier, et finalement leur infligent une cuisante défaite. Le roi Georges lui-même est blessé au torse durant les combats. Malgré cette première victoire, les Mongols ne restent pas en Géorgie et repartent vers Murani pour passer l'hiver.
Les Géorgiens voient ce repli des Mongols comme une victoire, mais ils sont conscients du risque. En prévision de leur retour, le roi de Géorgie envoie des ambassadeurs en Azerbaïdjan et vers les autres principautés voisines pour leur proposer d'allier leurs forces afin de s'opposer aux Mongols. Lorsque ces derniers apprennent cela, ils décident d'attaquer rapidement, avant que l'alliance soit scellée.
Deuxième invasion mongole en Géorgie
C'est ainsi qu'au début de l'année 1221, les troupes mongoles se dirigent a nouveau vers la Géorgie et rencontrent l'armée géorgienne à proximité de Tbilissi, lors de la bataille de Bardav. Le combat est indécis et se termine par une difficile victoire des Mongols. Épuisés et décimés, les vainqueurs se replient en direction de la mer Caspienne. En chemin, ils prennent, pillent et rasent les villes de Maragha, Hamadan, Nakhitchevan et d'autres cité de l'actuel Azerbaïdjan. Une fois arrivé sur les bords de la Caspienne, ils partent ensuite vers le nord et attaquent les Alains, dont ils obtiennent la soumission. Ils attaquent ensuite les Coumans, qui s'allient aux princes de la Rus' de Kiev. Cette alliance est vaincue en 1223 lors de la bataille de la Kalka. Les Mongols repartent alors vers l'Asie centrale. Le roi Georges IV de Géorgie décède peu de temps après, le , peut-être des suites de sa blessure à la poitrine. Comme il n'a pas d'enfant, c'est sa sœur cadette, Rousoudan Ire de Géorgie qui lui succède.
Les attaques de 1220 et 1221 surprennent tellement les Géorgiens qu'ils ne savent même pas contre qui ils se battent. Ainsi, un chroniqueur de l'époque qui rapporte le déroulement des combats est incapable de nommer les envahisseurs. Il faudra plusieurs années aux Géorgiens pour avoir des renseignements fiables sur leurs ennemis. Ainsi, en 1223, alors que la menace mongole semble s'éloigner provisoirement, la reine Rousoudan écrit une lettre au pape Honorius III. Elle lui demande son aide, car elle présume que les Mongols sont des Chrétiens puisqu'ils combattent les Musulmans. Ce n'est que plus tard que les Géorgiens comprennent qu'ils ont affaire à un peuple païen.
Troisième invasion et conquête mongole de la Géorgie
Après la deuxième invasion mongole, la Géorgie se retrouve prise dans un conflit dévastateur avec Jalal ad-Din. Fils de feu Ala ad-Din Muhammad, l'ancien Chah de l'Empire khorezmien, Jalal prend contact avec le gouvernement géorgien en 1225 pour qu'il l'aide dans sa guerre contre les Mongols. Le ton change dès qu'il se fait proclamer souverain d'Azerbaïdjan, car, toujours en 1225, il envahit la Géorgie, bat à deux reprises l'armée géorgienne et occupe Tiflis. Il fait détruire les églises chrétiennes et saccage la ville en 1226. Ce conflit achève de détruire l'armée et la capacité défensive du royaume de Géorgie.
En 1231, le Grand Khan Ögedei donne l'ordre au général Chormaqan d'attaquer Jalal ad-Din avec trois tumens, soit , pour mettre fin à ces attaques. Affaibli par une défaite qu'il a subie en 1230 face à une coalition musulmane, Jalal s'enfuit en Anatolie, où il meurt la même année. Les Mongols ont alors les mains libres pour agir à leur guise. En effet, les dynasties du sud de la Perse, à Fars et Kerman se sont volontairement soumises aux Mongols et ont accepté de leur verser un tribut. À l'ouest, la mainmise des Mongols sur Hamadan et le reste de la Perse est renforcée par la victoire de Chormaqan. Bref, l'Empire mongol a subjugué la quasi-totalité de la Perse, à l'exclusion des bastions abbassides en Irak et des Ismaéliens, ainsi que la totalité de l'Afghanistan et du Cachemire.
Dès lors, les Mongols tournent leur attention vers la Géorgie et, en 1236, Chormaqan prend la tête d'une grande et puissante armée pour envahir le royaume et ses vassaux.
La plupart des nobles géorgiens et arméniens dont les domaines se trouvent dans les régions frontalières font leur soumission aux Mongols sans véritablement résister, ou se contentent de s'enfermer dans leurs châteaux, tandis que d'autres préfèrent fuir vers des zones plus sûres. La reine Rousoudan est obligée de partir de Tbilissi pour se replier sur Koutaïssi et nombreux sont ceux qui se réfugient dans la partie montagneuse du royaume. La Géorgie orientale, qui correspond à la partie non montagneuse, se retrouve, de fait, entre les mains de l'atabeg Avag Mkhargrdzeli et d'Egarslan Bakurtsikheli. Ces derniers font la paix avec les Mongols et décident de leur rendre hommage. Seul Iwane Djakeli-Tsikhisjvreli, le prince de Samtskhe, décide de résister aux Mongols ; mais ses terres sont tellement dévastées qu'il demande à la reine l'autorisation de se rendre. Rousoudan lui donne sa bénédiction et le prince rend les armes en 1238. Les armées mongoles choisissent de ne pas poursuivre la Reine de Géorgie, laissant l'ouest du pays relativement à l'abri des saccages. Dans une ultime tentative de résistance, Rousoudan tente d'obtenir le soutien du Pape Grégoire IX, mais sans succès. Résignée, elle ouvre des pourparlers de paix avec les Mongols, l'atabeg Avag servant d'intermédiaire. Finalement, elle fait sa soumission en 1243 et la Géorgie reconnaît officiellement le grand Khan comme suzerain. Le royaume est obligé de payer un tribut annuel de d'or aux Mongols et de leur fournir des troupes si nécessaire.
La Géorgie à l'heure mongole
Chormaqan divise la région de Transcaucasie en trois districts, ou dumans, basés sur une hiérarchie militaire. Il crée également la wilaya du Gurjistan, qui inclut la Géorgie et tout le Caucase du Sud. Les Mongols règnent indirectement sur ces deux territoires, par l'intermédiaire d'un monarque géorgien, dont l'accession au trône doit à chaque fois être confirmée par le grand Khan. La mort de Rousoudan en 1245 marque le début d'un interrègne, durant lequel les Mongols divisent le Caucase en huit tumens. La question de la succession de la reine défunte est particulièrement compliquée et les Mongols en tirent parti en divisant les nobles géorgiens en deux partis rivaux, dont chacun défend son propre candidat à la Couronne. Ces candidats sont David VII "Ulu", un fils illégitime de George IV, et son cousin David VI "Narin", le fils de Rousoudan. En 1245, un complot cherchant à mettre fin au règne mongol en Géorgie échoue. Güyük décide de mettre fin à l'interrègne en faisant de David VI le roi de la partie occidentale de la Géorgie et de David VII le roi de la partie orientale. Le système des dumans est aboli, mais les Mongols surveillent étroitement l'administration géorgienne afin de s'assurer que les taxes et les tributs sont payés régulièrement et que les Géorgiens fournissent des soldats pour les armées mongoles à chaque fois qu'on leur demande.
D'importants contingents géorgiens combattent aux côtés des Mongols lors des batailles d'Alamut (1256), Bagdad (1258) et Aïn Djalout (1260), entre autres. Ces combats se soldent par la mort de dizaines de milliers de soldats originaires de Géorgie et du Caucase en général. Cela laisse ces régions sans défense contre les forces mongoles dépêchées sur place pour réprimer le moindre signe de révolte. Ironie du sort, lors de la bataille de Köse Dağ (1243), où les Mongols écrasent le sultanat seldjoukide de Roum, au moins trois mille auxiliaires géorgiens combattent dans les rangs des Mongols, alors que le prince géorgien Shamadavle d'Akhaltsikhe fait partie des commandants de l'armée seldjoukide. Après cette bataille, le Sultanat seldjoukide de Roum et l'Empire de Trébizonde deviennent des vassaux des Mongols.
En 1256, la Géorgie devient un vassal de l'Ilkhanat, un empire mongol centré sur la Perse. En 1259-1260, des nobles géorgiens dirigés par David Narin se révoltent contre les Mongols et réussissent à séparer l'Iméréthie, soit grosso modo la Géorgie occidentale, de la Géorgie orientale contrôlée par les Mongols. David Ulu décide d'imiter son cousin et entre lui aussi en rébellion, mais il est vaincu près de Gori et doit une fois de plus se soumettre à l'Empire mongol. À partir de 1261, le Caucase devient le théâtre d'une série de conflits entre l'Ilkhanat et la Horde d'or un autre empire Mongol centré sur la basse Volga.
L'unité de la Géorgie est brisée ; les nobles sont encouragés par les Mongols à se soulever contre la Couronne, ce qui facilite le contrôle du pays par lesdits Mongols. En 1266, le Prince Sargis Djakeli de Samtskhe devient un protégé et un client du khan Abaqa, devenant ainsi virtuellement indépendant de la couronne de Géorgie. Le roi Démétrius II de Géorgie (1259-1289), qui règne sur la Géorgie orientale, tente de redresser la situation en multipliant manœuvres et intrigues qui divisent les Ilkhans. Mais, lorsqu'il est soupçonné d'être impliqué dans un coup d'État avorté contre Arghoun Khan, il est obligé de se rendre et d'accepter d'être exécuté pour sauver la Géorgie d'une invasion. Après sa mort, le Royaume tombe dans une quasi anarchie. Alors que la Géorgie occidentale maintient difficilement son indépendance face à l'ilkhanat, la Géorgie orientale souffre du lourd tribut qu'elle doit verser et d'une instabilité politique. En matière religieuse les Mongols sont généralement tolérants, même si beaucoup d'églises et monastères ont été taxés. Un soulèvement est organisé par le roi David VIII (1292 † 1310). S'il résiste longtemps aux Mongols, il n'arrive pas à libérer la Géorgie et cette guerre provoque une série d'expéditions punitives dévastatrices. Un temps, les Mongols tentent de conserver le contrôle sur le pays en maintenant un climat de troubles civils, mais leur influence sur la Géorgie s'affaiblit progressivement avec le déclin puis la désintégration de l'Ilkhanat.
Refondation et chute du Royaume de Géorgie
La domination mongole dans le Caucase dure jusqu'à la fin de la décennie 1330 et la Grande-Arménie reste sous leur coupe de 1220 à 1344. Il y a une brève période de réunification et de renouveau du royaume sous Georges V "le brillant" (1299-1302, 1314-1346), un des fils de Démétrius II. Avec le soutien de Chupan, l'Émir de l'ulus (commandant de l'État) de l'Ilkhanat, George élimine ses opposants intérieurs qui jouissent alors d'une quasi-indépendance par rapport à l'État géorgien. En 1319, George et les Mongols répriment la rébellion de Qurumshi, le gouverneur mongol de la Géorgie. Sans doute en raison des luttes internes entre les khanats mongols et les généraux ilkhanides, presque toutes les troupes mongoles présentes en Géorgie se retirent avant la fin des années 1320. C'est à la même période que l'Ilkhan Abu Saïd Bahadur exempt Ani et les districts voisins de Géorgie de toute forme de taxe.
En l'an 1327, a lieu en Perse l'événement le plus spectaculaire du règne de l'Ilkhan Abu Saïd Bahadur, à savoir l'humiliation et l'exécution de Chupan, le ministre autrefois tout-puissant. C'est un coup dur pour George V, qui perd son protecteur à la Cour mongole. Mahmund, le fils de Chupan qui commande la garnison mongole en Géorgie, est arrêté par ses propres troupes et exécuté. Par la suite, Iqbal chah, le fils de Qutlugh chah, un des généraux de Chupan, est nommé gouverneur mongol de la Géorgie. En 1330-31 Georges V annexe l'Iméréthie et réunifie la Géorgie quatre ans avant la mort d'Abu Saïd Bahadu. En 1334, le poste de gouverneur de la Géorgie échoit à Shaykh Hasan de Jalayir sur ordre d'Abu Saïd Bahadur. Après la mort de ce dernier, l'ilkhanat sombre dans la guerre civile et se fragmente en Khanats rivaux.
Avant l'arrivée des Timourides, une grande partie de la Géorgie est toujours sous la coupe des dynasties mongoles des Jalayirides et des Chobanides. Les huit attaques que le conquérant turco-mongol Tamerlan lance contre la Géorgie entre 1386 et 1403 portent un grand coup au Royaume. Son unité est a nouveau brisée et en 1491 la Géorgie se désintègre en une multitude de petits royaumes et principautés, qui tout au long de la période moderne vont lutter pour maintenir leur indépendance face aux Ottomans et aux Séfévides, jusqu'à ce que la Géorgie soit finalement annexée par l'Empire russe en 1801.

In Scotland during the 1800s, game was plentiful. Hunting was not just a way to get food anymore; it was a sport. Sir Dudley Courts Marjoribanks, a Scottish Lord, purchased the only yellow retriever in a litter of black retrievers and started training the dog for hunting.
At the time, yellow retrievers were not well-known, while black retrievers were extremely popular. Sir Dudley ended up purchasing more yellow retrievers and breeding them in an attempt to create the perfect hunting dog. He wanted an obedient dog who could quickly grab waterfowl for him and one that could also be a well-tempered family dog.
He bred his yellow retrievers with Tweed Water Spaniels, who were exceptional hunting dogs and good with the family. He also used wavy-coated retrievers, flat-coated retrievers, and red setters. His perfected breed gained a lot of attention in the hunting world and soon became a highly popular breed. In 1911, the Kennel Club in England recognized them as an official breed, and in 1920 they switched the name from Retriever, Golden or Yellow, to Golden Retriever.
Golden Retrievers are obedient, playful, and intelligent. In addition, they have a well-mannered temperament, making them great family pets. They are extremely active and are always happy to go on a walk. This breed tends to mature slowly and maintains a silly puppy personality for many years after they're grown.
Plan on bringing your Golden Retriever with you on family vacations, as they become sad when they are not with their people. Goldens always appear to be smiling, and you can often catch them wagging their tail in happiness. Don't expect them to be good watchdogs, as they usually greet everyone who walks through the door. They may bark occasionally, but it's with a friendly tone, not a protective one.
Keep in mind, Golden Retrievers love to chew. Always have chew toys stocked, as they may end up chewing up your furniture if they don't have a toy to play with.
Thanks to Golden Retriever characteristics like obedience and intelligence, Golden Retrievers are easy to train and are often the top of their class in training school. Golden Retrievers are people pleasers and would do anything for some praise and a good snack. The only time you'll run into a problem with training Golden Retrievers is with leash training. Start the leash training at a young age to prevent any leash pulling behavior, which can result in a variety of neck and spine issues.
Golden Retrievers require a lot of exercise and should be walked at least once a day. They are happy to partake in any outdoor activity, from hikes to swimming to playing fetch. They love the outdoors and running around with other dogs. Giving them proper exercise is crucial to prevent bad Golden Retriever behavior and keep them in good health. A bored Golden Retriever tends to get destructive and will chew on household items.
Due to their large size, Golden Retrievers tend to live between 10-12 years.
The Golden Retrievers' kind and obedient personality make them an extremely popular dog. In 2016, the American Kennel Club ranked the Golden Retriever as the 4th most popular dog in the United States.
How Much Should You Feed Your Golden Retriever?
It is recommended you feed your Golden Retriever 2-3 cups of high-quality food, split into two meals. It's essential to watch your Golden Retriever's weight to make a decision on how much to feed him. This is especially important for Golden Retrievers as they are susceptible to health problems like obesity.
The Golden's long, beautiful coat comes at a price. It requires lots of brushing to maintain it's condition. You should brush your Golden Retriever's coat at least once a week, however, once a day is optimal. You should bathe your Golden at least once a month. Depending on how dirty he gets on hikes, you may have to bathe him more frequently.
For optimal Golden Retriever health, check your Golden Retriever's nails once a month. Goldens tend to file down their nails when they exercise, but sometimes they do need a nail trim. Brushing their teeth 2-3 times a week will help prevent dental health issues by decreasing the buildup of tartar and bacteria.
Are Golden Retrievers Good With Kids?
The loving and friendly nature of the Golden Retriever make them great with kids. Keep in mind, they were bred to be obedient and well-tempered. They are often thought of as family pets and do well with other animals as well. Goldens are known to be friendly with everyone and love to meet new friends, especially smaller companions.
Cataracts: As with humans, Golden Retrievers can develop cataracts. Golden Retriever cataracts are eye problems recognizable by the cloudy spots that cover the eye. Most of the time, cataracts in Golden Retrievers aren't a huge problem. However, sometimes cataracts can result in severe vision loss. Cataracts can usually be removed successfully with surgical procedures.
Ear Infections: The big, floppy ears of the Golden Retriever can cause moisture to build up, resulting in an ear infection. This is especially true for Goldens that love to swim. Once a week, check your dog's ears for a bad smell or redness. After swimming, clean your Golden's ears with a cotton ball and ear cleaning fluid. Do not put anything in your dog's ear canal as it can leave a negative impression on them and make cleaning their ears a much more challenging process.
Elbow Dysplasia: Elbow dysplasia is an inherited disease that is often found in large dogs. Elbow dysplasia in Golden Retrievers occurs when the three bones that make up the elbow grow at different rates. Some surgery may be necessary to fix Golden Retriever Elbow dysplasia or medication may be prescribed to deal with the pain.
Epilepsy: Unfortunately, Golden Retrievers are prone to epilepsy. Take your dog to the vet if he shows sign of a seizure, such as paddling the legs, loss of consciousness, and uncontrollable shaking. You don't have to take your dog to the vet immediately unless their seizure lasts more than five minutes or they has multiple in a row. When you bring your dog to the vet, you will be able to find the cause of their seizure.
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV): This condition affects many large breeds and can cause death. If Goldens eat too much, eat then exercise, or drink too much water after drinking too much food, gas or air can get stuck in their stomach. The stomach then twists. They cannot belch or vomit, and their normal blood flow to the heart is cut off. Once blood pressure drops, they can go into shock. Take your dog to the vet immediately if they are drooling excessively, retching without vomiting, or has a distended abdomen as these are all signs of GDV. You can prevent GDV by splitting up your dog's food into small meals, making sure he doesn't drink an excessive amount of water after eating and not giving him exercise after eating.
Heart Disease: Some sort of heart disease affects 15% of the breed. It is imperative to take your Golden Retriever to the vet to check for any sign of heart disease.
Hip Dysplasia: Golden Retriever hip dysplasia is an inherited disease where the hip doesn't properly fit into the hip joint which leads to arthritis. Dogs with hip dysplasia should not be bred, so ask for veterinary tests of the parents of your potential puppy to ensure neither of them has hip dysplasia.
Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is a disease that affects the thyroid gland. It can cause epilepsy, hair loss, obesity, lethargy. Hypothyroidism can also result in Golden Retriever skin problems such as dark patches on the skin. Hypothyroidism can be managed with a change of diet and medication.
Lyme Disease: Lyme disease is transmitted by deer ticks after they have been latched onto a dog for 2-3 days. Because Golden Retrievers love exercising outdoors, they often get ticks. It is crucial to check your Golden Retriever for any ticks after playing outdoors.
Osteosarcoma: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer that often affects large breeds, like the Golden Retriever.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA): Progressive Retinal Atrophy is the gradual deterioration of the retina. PRA starts with your dog becoming night blind, then slowly loses vision during the day as well. Golden Retrievers tend to adapt to loss of vision quite well as long as their surroundings don't change.
Separation Anxiety: Because Golden Retrievers love their families so much, anxiety in Golden Retrievers is common. If your Golden endlessly whines and barks when you leave and you come home to a destroyed couch, they probably have separation anxiety. There are exercises you can do to lessen Golden Retriever anxiety, but it will take patience and love.
Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis: This is a heart condition where there is a narrow connection between the left ventricle and the aorta, resulting in fainting and sometimes sudden death. Have your vet run a test to see if your Golden suffers from this condition.
von Willebrand's Disease: Von Willebrand's Disease is a blood clotting disorder found in humans and dogs. Signs your Golden Retriever may be suffering from this disorder includes bloody noses, bleeding gums, and prolonged bleeding after surgery. Golden Retrievers are also known to suffer from obesity, osteochondrosis, and panosteitis.
My friend suggested we buy Canna-Pet dog biscuits and we could not be more grateful for this suggestion! We noticed after a few days the difference this made for him!
Bree is a 10 year old Golden retriever. She has a cancerous tumor in her head. She has been taking Canna-pet CBD capsules for 6 months. She is still feeling good enough to eat and go on daily walks.
Following the suggested dosage, I gave her 3 biscuits twice a day. She gobbled them right up and since taking them, she is playing some with her toys again and seems much more content. | RedPajamaC4_9075508401524166857 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

J.C. Penney to House Tourneau Concept Stores
J.C. Penney plans to increase the amount of watch brands it carries by bringing the Watch Gear by Tourneau concept to its stores, the company announced in a presentation following the release of its financial results.
The store-within-a-store will give the company exposure to watch brands it has never carried before, J.C. Penney president Michael Kramer told analysts. The proposed concept stores will be similar in format to the Tourneau flagship on 57th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City.
"Tourneau is going to do [for us] for watches … what Sephora did for cosmetics," added CEO Ron Johnson. "[Sephora] got us access to all the brands in a really wonderful shopping environment."
"The Tourneau team is working with all their suppliers in talking about which ones that want to be in J.C. Penney, and which are the right ones for us," Johnson continued. "We will clearly get into price points we have never been in before, but we won't be as high as 57th Street."
In addition, Johnson said that the company had lowered its jewelry prices and is now bringing that division in harmony with the store's new strategy of "everyday low prices." Previously, jewelry had been considered one of the strategy's few holdouts.
"On the fine jewelry side, we have actually lowered in March all of our fine jewelry prices, so everything went to pure everyday," Johnson said, adding that the move has already led to "meaningful improvements in the business." | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_6135111415929191947 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Q: Inclusion of flag varieties and Schubert decomposition $\newcommand\Fl{\mathrm{Fl}}$Let $G$ be a connected, reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. Fix a maximal torus $T$ and Borel subgroup $B$. Let $L$ be a generalized Levi ($L = Z_G(s)^\circ$, for some semisimple element $s \in T$). Then $L$ is also a reductive group, and $B \cap L$ is a Borel subgroup in $L$. Therefore there is a closed embedding of flag varieties
$$ i \colon \Fl_L = L/B \cap L \hookrightarrow \Fl_G = G/B. $$
I am wondering if this embedding respects the Schubert stratification in the following sense: There is an inclusion of Weyl groups $j\colon W_L \hookrightarrow W_G$. For any $w \in W_L$, there is a Schubert cell $C_w \subset \Fl_L$, and similarly for $G$. Then is
$$ i(C_w) = C_{j(w)}? $$
If $L$ is an actual Levi subgroup, I believe then the answer is yes. Therefore I am wondering about the slight generalization to generalized Levis.
A: As you suspect, the equality of inflated Schubert cells does hold for actual Levis $L$. Let $N$ be the unipotent radical of the parabolic subgroup of $G$ containing $B$ that has $L$ as a Levi componnet. Then $w^{-1}N w$ is contained in $B$ for all $w \in W_L$, and $(B \cap L)w(w^{-1}N w)$ equals $B w$.
However, the equality need not hold for generalised Levis $L$. In fact, I think for every non-Levi $L$ it will fail for certain $w \in W_L$, and my example below will probably suggest how you would check this.
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\Sp{Sp}$Consider $L = \SL_2 \times \SL_2$ in $\Sp_4$ and $w = (w_0, w_0)$, where $w_0$ is the long element in the Weyl group of $\SL_2$. Let $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ be the positive roots of the two $\SL_2$'s, numbered so that $\beta \mathrel{:=} \tfrac1 2(\alpha_1 - \alpha_2)$ is positive. We have that $U_w \times B \to U w B$ is an isomorphism of varieties, where $U_w = U \cap w U^- w^{-1}$, and analogously for $U_{L, w} \times B \to U_L w B$, with hopefully obvious notation. Then $U_\beta w B$ is obviously contained in $B w B$, but does not contain any element of $U_{L, w}w B = U_L w B$.

ARTS IN ACTION: Spitfire mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and STELLA DI NAPOLI to shine over Brooklyn
Live from the Gowanus Ballroom: Joyce DiDonato sings selections from Stella di Napoli in Brooklyn on 3 October [Photo by Pari Dukovic, © Warner Classics/ERATO]
The rare junctions of great music with great musicians are almost always events in the most exuberant sense of the term. Even rarer are events in which serendipitous circumstances enable audiences throughout the world to embark together on artistic adventures that strive to uncover new vistas of long-forgotten landscapes. Timed to celebrate the widely-acclaimed recent release of her ERATO disc entitled Stella di Napoli [reviewed here], superstar mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato will offer performances of music from the disc to the audience at Brooklyn's Gowanus Ballroom and via Livestream to listeners worldwide on Friday, 3 October. Co-sponsored by Warner Classics/ERATO and LoftOpera, the concert will take Ms. DiDonato to one of New York's most innovative Arts spaces, the magnificently-converted Civil War-era factory in the Gowanus Industrial Arts Complex that is home to the Ballroom.
In an international career encompassing an unusually extensive repertory ranging from Monteverdi and Händel to Mark Adamo and Jake Heggie, Ms. DiDonato has displayed special affinity for bel canto. Stella di Napoli is the singer's journey to the source of bel canto—Naples in the first quarter of the Nineteenth Century. With invigorating accounts of arias by Bellini, Carafa, Donizetti, Mercadante, Pacini, Rossini, and Valentini, Stella di Napoli is the work of a phenomenal singer in her prime. Ms. DiDonato's concert in the Gowanus Ballroom will transfer her exploration from the studio to the vibrant atmosphere of live performance. Doors open at 19:00 EDT on Friday, 3 October, and Ms. DiDonato takes the stage at 20:00 EDT. The Livestream feed will begin at 21:00 EDT and can be accessed by clicking here or watching below. LoftOpera's November production of Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia will also be previewed during the event.
It was recently announced that Ms. DiDonato's Carnegie Hall recital on 4 November, A Journey through Venice, will be streamed online, as well.
Visit Joyce DiDonato's Official Website to learn more about her upcoming appearances, including her tour with The English Concert in Händel's Alcina.

Tord Gustavsen Trio in Minneapolis at Mindekirken, June 17
Recordings Twin Cities
June 16, 2016 June 20, 2016 Andrea Canter911
One of the most acclaimed jazz artists to emerge from Scandanavia, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen makes a rare appearance in the Twin Cities on Friday, June 17 (8 pm), when he brings his new trio with vocalist Simin Tander and long-time cohort, drummer Jarle Vespestad, to Mindekirken, the Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church in south Minneapolis. The trio is touring in support of a new ECM recording, What Was Said; this will be part of the North American premiere of this music.
Tord Gustavsen has spent the past decade-plus building a reputation within an elite circle of modern jazz pianists and extending his meditative style into an increasingly interesting approach to the music. His earlier trio works were both beautiful and lulling, exquisitely trance-inducing. Then came the addition of saxophone, which allowed a critical expansion of the pianist's palette, adding an essential spark to composition and interplay. By the release of his sixth ECM recording (Extended Circle, 2014), Gustavsen had moved his music into warmer territory without really leaving his Nordic cool behind. Throughout the album, there were significant gospel and folkloric elements, Eastern as well as Nordic, clearly inspired by Gustavsen's affinity for spirituals and choral music. That connection to voice is now clearly articulated in the new trio.
Gustavsen's current project (which he calls Hymns and Visions) began with English translations of poems by the thirteenth century Persian mystic Rumi, which he set to music, but they remained unrecorded until he heard German-Afghan vocalist Simin Tander in performance. He was particularly enchanted with her singing in Pashto (the language of her Afgahn father) and wondered how the Norwegian hymns of his childhood would sound in this language. Hymns and Visions soon grew into the collaboration that recorded What Was Said, adding Tander to Tord's long-standing partnership with drummer Jarle Vespestad.
Tander functions as "both a soloistic interpreter of melody and an ensemble member, singing accompanying motifs, and contributing to improvisations in which the three of us are equals in terms of sharing ideas, " says Gustavsen. "She has a unique way of improvising, finding sounds that really work, staying with them, developing them very gradually. She has a discipline that really appeals to me and to Jarle." Gustavsen also takes another step in extending his own sound, adding electronics via a Moog system that allows him to infuse computer-generated sounds and samples from the acoustic piano; some compositions also include a bass synthesizer. As is his trademark on the acoustic piano, Gustavsen exercises similar restraint in his use of electronics, noting that "the acoustic piano is a universe of exploration, and I'll never be through with that journey, but the electronics are speaking to me much more than I could have anticipated. In fact, using them has influenced the acoustic piano playing, too. It's as if I'm approaching the piano from a slightly different angle now. This too has been very fruitful."
What Was Said explores Norwegian church traditions from a nontraditional perspective. "Simin and I have been working with an Afghan poet," Gustavsen explains, "translating and shaping a selection of hymns that I grew up with in Norway into Pashto… "I liked the sound of the Pashto language itself and coincidentally was encountering it at a time when I was becoming increasingly interested in Sufi poetry." In addition to the works in Pashto, Tander also sings the lyrics of Rumi in English, and Gustavsen's setting of a poem by American beat poet Kenneth Rexroth who was also influenced by Rumi and worked with jazz improvisers ("I Refuse"). If one attends to the lyrics across these compositions, there's a sense of a conversation among these poets across time and culture. Tord explains, "The way in which the words transcend the boundaries between forms and traditions is important for me. But it's also fully OK to approach it as a pure musical experience. The sounds have texture and content. For any anyone who feels invited to dive deeper, the lyrics and translations are there, but this is not the kind of music where you have to read in order to listen."
Gustavsen draws his melodies from both traditional Norwegian songs and his own (vast) imagination. Tander's voice suggests British chanteuse Norma Winstone, and she uses silence and deliberation as effectively as Winstone as well as Tord himself. The album as a whole is an elegant delight, regardless of the language as it somehow seems comprehensible without real understanding of the lyrics. A beautiful instrumental duo opens the traditional "Castle in Heaven," and Vespestad conjures tablas on "Journey of Life." "What Was Said to the Rose," Gustavsen writing the music for the Rumi text, finds pianist and drummer engaging in interplay that creates ferocious thunder and delicate ice. "Sweet Melting" over two tracks is essentially three episodes of one song, a Norwegian hymn melded to Pashto lyrics, with the trio composing the music that fuses beginning and end.
Only hearing this music live is likely to surpass the experience of listening to the album in one's own private retreat.
Minderkirken (Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church) is located at 924 E 21st St, Minneapolis; tickets $25 (general admission), at the door or online at http://www.mindekirken.net.

A small business owner recently asked me about her staff who will become non-exempt December 1, 2016 when overtime regulations change. Her employees check email before they come into work and again in the evening from home as one way of providing quality customer service.
This blog focuses on the topic of using technology outside of the normal work day. What should small business owners do? How do they decide? How will decisions affect business and clients?
I am taking the sandwich approach to my answer. First, start by communicating with your staff. If any of us believe employees are not aware of this change, we fool only ourselves. Let's use this to our advantage and gain some engagement along the way.
As you talk with your staff, share what you know about the regulations. Then discuss how the change affects more than whether or not they get paid overtime. If you're not ready for the overtime discussion, let employees know that when you've decided you'll let them know either as a group or individually. The individual approach, depending on the size of your staff, is the preferred method for sharing an individual's personal impact.
Talk openly about how the staff uses technology. Let them know changes may be required in how they use technology before or after normal work hours depending on changes to the exemption status. Ask for their ideas. Listen actively. The team may develop a workable solution as they talk through the issues and how the work may need to change.
Second, so you've gathered input and ideas from your staff. They will appreciate being asked. If you are the type of manager who values the input of others, let them know you value their input and it will help you with your decision. Doesn't mean you have to follow the suggestions. The point is you asked. Their ideas may spark others that you hadn't considered before.
Take some time to digest what you heard and reflect. Could any of the ideas work? After hearing their input, perhaps you'll realize it will affect them less than you previously thought. Yet, how will the decision affect your clients, your reputation and business, if you no longer respond to clients before or after norm work hours? Or, do you redistribute the work?
Finally, communicate the decisions you've made. Share how the work will change while ensuring customer service remains strong. Evaluate the results after a few weeks. Since you have an open rapport with your staff, ask them to bring any problems along with suggestions to solve the problems; they may be closer to the situations and have other insights. What's important is you involved the team in solving a team problem. Thank them for contributing! | RedPajamaC4_4551352763428364810 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

MHA notice on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship rubbish: Priyanka Gandhi
PTI30 April 2019 11:42 AM GMT
Amethi (UP): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday termed as "rubbish" the MHA notice to her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the citizenship issue, saying all know that he was born and raised here.
"I have never heard such rubbish. All know Rahul Gandhi was born, raised here," she said.
"The entire country knows he was born before them...he was brought up before them..he grew up before them...what rubbish is this?" Priyanka shot back when asked about the notice issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The MHA has asked Rahul to clarify within a fortnight his "factual position" on a complaint questioning his citizenship status.
In a letter, the Home Ministry said it has received a representation from BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in which it has been brought out that a company named Backops Limited was registered in the United Kingdom in2003 with Rahul as one of its directors.
An objection on the citizenship issue was also raised by an independent candidate against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi, but the returning officer declared his nominations papers as valid on scrutiny.

Author Topic: Guns (Read 469 times)
I don't know exactly where I stand on guns, but for a long time I hated them. Now listening to my radio Station with Dave Glover, they have a lot of talk about Guns. Mostly in their Guns, Ammo and Liquor segment. Really it's a just fun discussion about types of guns and wines. Go figure. The discussions definitely have me leaning the other way.
But... with the recent shooting in Newtown, my beliefs have been thoroughly shaken. Everything needs to be re-examined. I'm appalled at the NRA's director's comments. I am never in favor of someone who has convictions that so override common sense. I understand gun advocacy. I understand the genie is out of the bottle with so many guns out in people's hands.
I also understand what we as American's are doing is NOT WORKING. Lots of essay's have come out over the past month, but I haven't re-posted because I wanted more info. I do think this latest one has some pretty solid arguments.
The NRA Myth of Arming the Good Guys
The gut-wrenching shock of the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14 wasn't just due to the 20 unthinkably young victims. It was also due to the realization that this specific, painfully familiar nightmare was unfolding yet again.
As the scope of the massacre in Newtown became clear, some news accounts suggested that mass shootings in the United States have not increased, based on a broad definition of them. But in fact 2012 has been unprecedented for a particular kind of horror that's been on the rise in recent years, from Virginia Tech to Tucson to Aurora to Oak Creek to Newtown. There have been at least 62 such mass shootings in the last three decades, attacks in which the killer took the lives of four or more people (the FBI's baseline for mass murder) in a public place—a school, a workplace, a mall, a religious building. Seven of them have occurred this year alone.
Along with three other similar though less lethal rampages—at a Portland shopping mall, a Milwaukee spa, and a Cleveland high school—2012 has been the worst year for these events in modern US history, with 151 victims injured and killed. More than a quarter of them were young children and teenagers.
The National Rifle Association and its allies would have us believe that the solution to this epidemic, itself but a sliver of America's overall gun violence, is to put firearms in the hands of as many citizens as possible. "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," declared the NRA's Wayne LaPierre in a press conference a week after Newtown, the same day bells tolled at the National Cathedral and the devastated town mourned its 28 dead. (That day a gunman in Pennsylvania also murdered three people and wounded a state trooper shortly before LaPierre gave his remarks.) LaPierre explained that it was a travesty for a school principal to face evil unarmed, and he called for gun-wielding security officers to be deployed in every school in America.
As many commentators noted, it was particularly callous of the NRA to double down on its long-standing proposal to fight gun violence with more guns while parents in Newtown were burying their first graders. But more importantly, the NRA's argument is bereft of supporting evidence. A closer look reveals that their case for arming Americans against mass shooters is nothing more than a cynical ideological talking point—one dressed up in appeals to heroism and the defense of constitutional freedom, and wholly reliant on misdirection and half truths. If only Sandy Hook's principal had been packing heat, the argument goes, she could've stopped the mass killer. There's just one little problem with this: Not a single one of the 62 mass shootings we studied in our investigation has been stopped this way—even as the nation has been flooded with millions of additional firearms and a barrage of recent laws has made it easier than ever for ordinary citizens to carry them in public places, including bars, parks, and schools.
Attempts by armed citizens to stop shooters are rare. At least two such attempts in recent years ended badly, with the would-be good guys gravely wounded or killed. Meanwhile, the five cases most commonly cited as instances of regular folks stopping massacres fall apart under scrutiny: Either they didn't involve ordinary citizens taking action—those who intervened were actually cops, trained security officers, or military personnel—or the citizens took action after the shooting rampages appeared to have already ended. (Or in some cases, both.)
But those facts don't matter to the gun rights die-hards, who never seem to run out of intellectually dishonest ammo. Most recently, they've pointed to the Portland shopping mall rampage earlier in December, in which an armed civilian reportedly drew his gun but thought twice about potentially hurting an innocent bystander and ducked for cover instead of firing. The assailant suddenly got scared of this retreating good guy with the gun, they claim, and promptly shot himself dead. Obviously.
Another favorite tactic is to blame so called "gun-free zones" for the carnage—as if a disturbed kid shoots up a school, or a disgruntled employee executes his coworkers, or a neo-Nazi guns down Sikhs at worship simply because he has identified the safest place to go open fire. All we need to do is make sure lots of citizens have guns in these locations, and voilà, problem solved!
For their part, law enforcement officials overwhelmingly hate the idea of armed civilians getting involved. As a senior FBI agent told me, it would make their jobs more difficult if they had to figure out which of the shooters at an active crime scene was the bad guy. And while they train rigorously for responding in confined and chaotic situations, the danger to innocent bystanders from ordinary civilians whipping out firearms is obvious. Exhibit A: the gun-wielding citizen who admitted to coming within a split second of shooting an innocent person as the Tucson massacre unfolded, after initially mistaking that person for the killer, Jared Loughner.
The NRA's LaPierre was also eager to blame violent video games and movies for what happened in Newtown, and to demonize the "unknown number of genuine monsters" walking among us. Never mind that the failure to recognize and treat mental health problems is a crucial factor in this dark equation: Of the 62 mass shootings we examined, 36 of them were murder-suicides, while assailants in seven other cases died in police shootouts, widely considered to have been "suicide by cop."
Those who are serious about contending with the problem of mass shootings understand that collecting and studying data is crucial. Since we began our investigation after the attack in Aurora in July, we've heard from numerous academic researchers, legislative aides, and others wanting access to our full data set. We've now published it here.
The question now isn't whether most Americans will take seriously the idea of turning every grammar school in the nation into a citadel. (Here, too, the NRA's argument falls apart; an armed sheriff's deputy at Columbine and a robust security force at Virginia Tech didn't stop those slaughters from occurring.) Now that we've just witnessed the worst year for mass shootings in memory, including 20 of the most innocent of lives snuffed out, what remains to be seen is whether real reform is finally on the way on Capitol Hill. Despite years of this kind of carnage, next to nothing has been changed in our legal system with respect to how easy it is for a disturbed young man to get his hands on a military-style assault rifle and a stockpile of highly lethal ammunition.
Sen. Diane Feinstein has vowed to introduce a new ban on assault weapons when Congress reconvenes in January. President Obama has signaled that the gun issue will be a real priority going forward. But once the raw emotion of Newtown dissipates there will be the danger of slipping back into the same inertia and political stalemate so successfully cultivated by the pro-gun ideologues. Soon lawmakers will start eyeing their 2014 reelection campaigns and thinking about how much money the NRA has in its coffers to take aim at them with should they dare to dissent. This time, have we finally had enough?

Re: Guns
All of Obama's talk about Gun Reform will amount to....nothing. We see this time and again after every shooting about how they will NOW change the gun law because "enough is enough". At the end of the day, each and every politician is just doing lip service until the public moves onto something else to protest and they won't have to go through with their proclamations.
A well thought out piece...
The NRA Claims the AR-15 Is Useful for Hunting and Home Defense. Not Exactly.
By Justin Peters @ Slate
Crime is Slate's new crime blog. Like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter @slatecrime.
On Dec. 24, in Webster, New York, an ex-con named William Spengler set fire to his house and then shot and killed two responding firefighters before taking his own life. He shot them with a Bushmaster AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle—the same weapon that Adam Lanza used 10 days earlier when he shot and killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary. James Holmes used an AR-15-style rifle with a detachable 100-round magazine this past summer when he shot up a movie theater in Colorado. (Though the AR-15 is a specific model of rifle made by Colt, the term has come to generically refer to the many other rifles built to similar specifications.)
Three makes a trend, as we all know, and many people have reacted by suggesting that the federal government should ban the AR-15 and other so-called assault weapons. Gun advocates have responded with exasperation, saying that, despite appearances, AR-15-style rifles are no more dangerous than any other gun. In a piece today on humanevents.com titled "The AR-15: The Gun Liberals Love to Hate," NRA president David Keene blasted those critics who "neither understand the nature of the firearms they would ban, their popularity or legitimate uses." Keene noted there are several valid, non-murderous uses for rifles like the AR-15—among them recreational target shooting, hunting, and home defense—and argued that law-abiding firearms owners shouldn't be penalized because of homicidal loners who use semi-automatics like the AR-15 for criminal purposes.
I generally consider myself a Second Amendment supporter, and I haven't yet decided where I stand on post-Newtown gun control. I would own a gun if New York City laws didn't make it extremely difficult to do so. But I nevertheless find Keene's arguments disingenuous. It's odd to cite hunting and home defense as reasons to keep selling a rifle that's not particularly well suited, and definitely not necessary, for either. Bolt-action rifles and shotguns can also be used for hunting and home defense. Unfortunately, those guns aren't particularly lucrative for gunmakers. The lobby's fervent defense of military-style semi-automatic weapons like the AR-15 seems motivated primarily by a desire to protect the profits in the rapidly growing "modern sporting rifle" segment of the industry.
The AR-15 was designed in 1957 at the behest of the U.S. Army, which asked Armalite to come up with a "high-velocity, full and semi auto fire, 20 shot magazine, 6lbs loaded, able to penetrate both sides of a standard Army helmet at 500 meters rifle," according to ar15.com. When it entered Army service in the 1960s, it was renamed the M16, in accordance with the Army Nomenclature System. "AR-15" came to refer to the rifle's semi-automatic civilian equivalent. From 1994 to 2004, AR-15-style rifles were subject to the now-expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Since then, the rifle and others like it have become tremendously popular. Last month, I estimated that upward of 3.5 million AR-15-style rifles currently exist in the United States. People like the rifle because it is modular and thus customizable (one article calls the AR-15 "perhaps the most flexible firearm ever developed; in seconds, a carbine can be switched over to a long-range rifle by swapping upper receivers"), because it is easy to shoot, and because carrying it around makes you look like a badass.
But the AR-15 is not ideal for the hunting and home-defense uses that the NRA's Keene cited today. Though it can be used for hunting, the AR-15 isn't really a hunting rifle. Its standard .223 caliber ammunition doesn't offer much stopping power for anything other than small game. Hunters themselves find the rifle controversial, with some arguing AR-15-style rifles empower sloppy, "spray and pray" hunters to waste ammunition. (The official Bushmaster XM15 manual lists the maximum effective rate of fire at 45 rounds per minute.) As one hunter put it in the comments section of an article on americanhunter.org, "I served in the military and the M16A2/M4 was the weapon I used for 20 years. It is first and foremost designed as an assault weapon platform, no matter what the spin. A hunter does not need a semi-automatic rifle to hunt, if he does he sucks, and should go play video games. I see more men running around the bush all cammo'd up with assault vests and face paint with tricked out AR's. These are not hunters but wannabe weekend warriors."
In terms of repelling a home invasion—which is what most people mean when they talk about home defense—an AR-15-style rifle is probably less useful than a handgun. The AR-15 is a long gun, and can be tough to maneuver in tight quarters. When you shoot it, it'll overpenetrate—sending bullets through the walls of your house and possibly into the walls of your neighbor's house—unless you purchase the sort of ammunition that fragments on impact. (This is true for other guns, as well, but, again, the thing with the AR-15 is that it lets you fire more rounds faster.)
AR-15-style rifles are very useful, however, if what you're trying to do is sell guns. In a recent Forbes article, Abram Brown reported that "gun ownership is at a near 20-year high, generating $4 billion in commercial gun and ammunition sales." But that money's not coming from selling shotguns and bolt-action rifles to pheasant hunters. In its 2011 annual report, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation announced that bolt-action hunting rifles accounted for 6.6 percent of its net sales in 2011 (down from 2010 and 2009), while modern sporting rifles (like AR-15-style weapons) accounted for 18.2 percent of its net sales. The Freedom Group's 2011 annual report noted that the commercial modern sporting rifle market grew at a 27 percent compound annual rate from 2007 to 2011, whereas the entire domestic long gun market only grew at a 3 percent rate.
As the NRA's David Keene notes, a lot of people do use modern sporting rifles for target shooting and in marksmanship competitions. But the guns also appeal to another demographic that doesn't get nearly as much press—paranoid survivalists who worry about having to fend off thieves and trespassers in the event of disaster. Online shooting message boards are rife with references to potential "SHTF scenarios," where SHTF stands for "**** hits the fan"—governmental collapse, societal breakdown. (Adam Lanza's mother, Nancy Lanza, has been described as "a gun-hoarding survivalist who was stockpiling weapons in preparation for an economic collapse.") An article on ar15.com titled "The Ideal Rifle" notes that "the threats from crime, terrorism, natural disaster, and weapons of mass destruction are real. If something were to happen today, you would need to have made a decision about the rifle you would select and be prepared for such an event. So the need to select a 'survival' rifle is real. Selecting a single 'ideal rifle' is not easy. The AR-15 series of rifles comes out ahead when compared to everything else." Depending on where you live, it's perfectly legal to stockpile weapons to use in the event of Armageddon. But that's a far different argument than the ones firearms advocates have been using since the Newtown shootings.
As I said, I generally think of myself as a Second Amendment supporter, and a month ago, I would've probably agreed with the NRA's position. But the Newtown shooting caused me to re-examine my stance—as is, I think, fitting—and to question some of the rhetoric advocates use to defend weapons like this. In his piece at Human Events, Keene ridiculed the notion that AR-15-style rifles ought to be banned just because "a half dozen [AR-15s] out of more than three million have been misused after illegally falling into the hands of crazed killers." And, sure. But the AR-15 is very good at one thing: engaging the enemy at a rapid rate of fire. When someone like Adam Lanza uses it to take out 26 people in a matter of minutes, he's committing a crime, but he isn't misusing the rifle. That's exactly what it was engineered to do.
Five Injured In Accidental Gun Show Shootings On 'Gun Appreciation Day'
As gun rights activists celebrated the turnout at gun shows for national Gun Appreciation Day Saturday, police responded to at least thee accidental shootings that left five people injured at shows across the country.
• In Indianapolis, a man shot himself when his gun went off outside a gun show. From WISH-TV:
A person who was loading a gun outside of the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show at the State Fairgrounds was accidentally shot when his gun discharged Saturday afternoon. ... The man, identified as Emory L. Cozee, 54, was walking back to his car, was loading his .45 caliber semi-automatic and accidentally shot himself in the hand, [police said.]
• In Raleigh, N.C., three people were injured when a shotgun went off at a gun show there. From the News & Observer:
A 12-gauge shotgun discharged shortly after 1 p.m. as its owner unzipped its case on a table for a security officer to check it at a security entrance at the Dixie Gun & Knife Show, according to Joel Keith, police chief of the state Agriculture Department. Keith said birdshot pellets hit Janet Hoover, 54, of Benson, in the right torso; Linwood Hester, 50, of Durham, in the right hand; and Jake Alderman, a retired Wake County sheriff's deputy from Wake Forest, in the left hand. Hoover and Hester were taken to WakeMed, but officials said their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
• In Ohio, a dealer at a gun show accidentally fired a gun, induring one. From WJW-TV:
Jim Conrad, event organizer, said there were about 200 people there at the time, and they heard one gun shot. Conrad said a visitor to the event had handed an exhibitor his gun to look at. It apparently was loaded, and while the exhibitor was looking at the gun, it accidentally went off, hitting another man in the arm.
Meanwhile, gun rights advocates touted Gun Appreciation Day -- which was organized to oppose efforts in Washington, D.C. to pass new gun regulations after Newtown -- as a success. Dave Workman, a former NRA board member, wrote that gun rights activists in Washington state showed up in big numbers at a gun show in Puyallup and a rally in Olympia.
"Among many of these gun owners is a newfound activism, ignited by the gun prohibition rhetoric over the past month, and stoked by the president's remarks earlier in the week," he wrote.
Guns don't kill people, but stupid people aren't helping either.
Hello Kitty Bubble Gun Gets 5-year-old Suspended

I think a balanced, reasonable discussions need to take place. Gun advocates don't need to put blinders up and Gun non-advocates don't need to go overboard the opposite way. This just polarizes people and sometimes make up their minds to be contrary. I like what King suggests here.
Stephen King writes post-Newtown essay on guns
Horror writer Stephen King is seeking to provoke a discussion on gun control and gun rights following the school shooting massacre in Newtown, Conn.
The Maine native is a gun owner. He calls for three "reasonable measures" to curb gun violence in an essay titled "Guns," released Friday as a Kindle single through Amazon.
King says he wants background checks on all gun sales and bans on high-capacity magazines and military-style weapons like the rifle used in the Newtown shooting, which killed 20 children and six school officials.
King describes a pattern of mass shootings in which anger and frustration give way to political rhetoric before discussions of gun control "disappear into the legislative swamp." He says on his website: "If this helps provoke constructive debate, I've done my job."

Even Snipers aren't immune.
The talk show I listen to, The Dave Glover Show is mostly fun and games. Silly stuff to wipe away the stress of the day...
... but, they do go deep in politics, finances, news stories, when they are of significance. They even have a segment called Liquor, Guns & Ammo. After listening to it for a number of years I've learned a great deal and more accepting of guns... in general.
While that thought has shifted, so has my thoughts on gun violence. It's bad in two ways. In my mind, I'm screaming to the masses... 'Folks, you better get used to this news of gun violence. Kids being killed by guns. Senseless slaughtering. It's going to be normal to hear about this every day. New Town is only the beginning."
and at the same time it bad and sad, that this will be the way people think. This is normal. Kids getting slaughtered will be old news. It becomes less jarring and numbing. Pretty soon folks won't think about it until it effects them.
Bottom line, I think the NRA needs to step back and less rigid and the liberals need to bring common sense, emotionless suggestions and balance... so that even a conversation can happen.

New gun control ad: Which of these is more dangerous for kids?
Gun control advocacy group Moms Demand Action launched a campaign on Monday putting the "one of these things is not like the other" game to startling visual effect.
In a series of ads, children hold assault weapons alongside items that have been banned by the federal government (like "Kinder Surprise" chocolate eggs) and local school districts (an edition of "Little Red Riding Hood" depicting a bottle of wine in the young protagonist's picnic basket) for being too "dangerous" for kids.

Apple has announced that its iPod Shuffle, which the company claims as the world's most wearable music player is now even more affordably priced at $49 (1GB; dropped from $79). In addition, the company also will add a new 2GB version of its iPod shuffle later this month for $69.
"At just $49, the iPod shuffle is the most affordable iPod ever," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. "The new 2GB model lets music lovers bring even more songs everywhere they go in the impossibly small iPod shuffle." | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-385927798549291109 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Makita Suzuki's Dungey Wins Supercross Lites in Indy
March 27, 2007 6:33am
Tedesco Cards Top-Five Supercross Finish
Round 12 – Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series
RCA Dome
Team Makita Suzuki Racing's Ryan Dungey won his second Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross race of the year at Indianapolis' RCA Dome on Saturday night. Teammate Ivan Tedesco finished an impressive fifth place in the Supercross main event in front of more than 54,000 screaming fans.
"Overall, it was a good day," said 17-year-old Dungey after the victory. "I've got to thank the Makita Suzuki team, my mechanic Tim McAdams and my mom and dad for getting me to this point. This was a huge win for me. I've had some bad luck lately, and to pick up this win is huge for me and my team, who've been behind me all year. I have to use this as momentum for next weekend in Dallas."
As usual, the evening's festivities kicked off with heat races. In the Supercross class, Tedesco had a tough time in his heat race but rallied on his Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 and won the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) and advanced to the main.
"I kind of struggled all day," admitted the former AMA Supercross and Motocross Lites Champion. "In the first practice session, I felt like a fish out of water but it got better throughout the day. My heat race was terrible, I went down twice and didn't qualify and had to go to the LCQ. I just tried to hold my head together in the LCQ because I knew there wasn't going to be too much pressure and I could go out there and win it and look for some lines and pull it all together for the main."
The 20-lap Supercross main saw Tedesco get a good jump off the gate but a mishap resulted in a mid-pack start. In spite of this, he charged hard on his Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 and reeled in the competition.
"I started way outside," said Tedesco. "I was the last guy on the gate, but I got a killer jump on my Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 and went for it again like last week. But I kind of got bumped into the haybales and had to stand it up and let everybody do their thing.

I knew we had it, I knew we could get the holeshots and put ourselves in good positions all night. The heat race was good and we got what we had to get done."
In the 15-lap main event, Dungey again was untouchable. The Minnesota rider got the holeshot and led the entire race.
"The main was good, we got a great holeshot," he said. "During the whole race, Ben (Townley) was pressuring me, but I told myself it was just another day of riding and to ride like I do at the practice track. That's what I felt like I did. The Indy track was good and the Makita Suzuki RM-Z250 worked great everywhere on the track."

The Mitchell-Weeks House is a "Potomac Valley style" log farmhouse first built in 1789. Descendants of builder Benjamin Mitchell lived in the house, located in Chantilly, Virginia just west of the intersection of Lee-Jackson Highway and Lee's Corner Road, until approximately 1940.
Subsequent owners renovated and remodeled the house, but it currently preserves the Early American-era log front wall and stone chimneys. The Fairfax County Park Authority erected a historical marker for the house in 2003.

Public Awareness and the Referral System (Part C)
Accurate and updated information as of July 2021
Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that each State have a early intervention system that includes well-advertised processes for finding, referring, and (as appropriate) evaluating babies and toddlers suspected of having (or known to have) a developmental delay or disability. Having such a system includes:
operating a public awareness program (described immediately below) so that residents of the State know that early intervention services are available to help eligible infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities; and
providing a referral system by which children may be referred to the Part C system for evaluation.
The focus of this brief webpage is on both of these critical components in the State's early intervention system.
About the Public Awareness Program
Purpose | The purpose of the public awareness program is to let residents in the State know:
that early intervention services are available to eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities;
how to connect with the EI system to have an infant or toddler evaluated; and
how to make a referral to the EI system regarding a child potentially in need of EI services.
Materials to create public awareness | States develop public awareness materials to be shared with parents of babies and toddlers who may have a disability or developmental delay. These materials tell families and others about the benefits of early intervention, the availability of the system in the State, and where to call or visit for more information.
States also make a point of sharing these materials with a wide range of stakeholders who are likely to interact often with babies and toddlers, which puts them in a position to notice if a child has a developmental delay or disability. Having the public awareness materials of the State readily at hand helps such stakeholders connect families with the early intervention system. More will be said below about these stakeholders (which are called primary referral sources) and the valuable role they play both in raising public awareness of early intervention services and in referring children and families to those services.
Other activities | States do far more than develop materials to be shared with parents. Other activities designed to raise public awareness of the early intervention system include:
posting materials on the state's website;
running television, radio, and newspaper ads;
having billboards;
making presentations at community fairs; and
conducting screenings of children for free throughout the State.
Central directory | The early intervention system in each State must also include a central directory that is accessible to the general public. The central directory is an important resource in each State's early intervention system, because it is intended to connect people quickly with resources and services with respect to babies and toddlers who have delays or disabilities. To that end, the central directory must include accurate and up-to-date information about:
public and private early intervention services, resources, and experts available in the State;
professional and other groups (including Parent Centers) that provide assistance to infants and toddlers with disabilities eligible under Part C of IDEA and their families; and
research and demonstration projects being conducted in the State relating to infants and toddlers with disabilities.
Many States make their central directory available on the lead agency's website. According to the Part C regulations, this alone is not enough to ensure that the directory is accessible to the general public. After all, not everyone has access to, or uses, the Internet. The regulations require that States also use "other appropriate means" of making the central directory accessible. According to the U.S. Department of Education, those "other appropriate means" may include providing printed copies of the central directory at locations, such as libraries, and offices of key primary referral sources.
End result of a successful public awareness program? | Infants and toddlers with disabilities are identified, located, and evaluated as early as possible. If they are found eligible for Part C services, they can begin receiving early intervention services that address their individual developmental needs.
About the Referral System
Each State has an affirmative obligation to ensure that all infants and toddlers with disabilities in the State who are eligible for early intervention services under Part C are identified, located, and evaluated. As part of fulfilling that obligation, the State operates a child find system, which must include procedures for referring a child to early intervention.
Anyone may refer a child to early intervention. For example, someone may notice that a baby or toddler seems to have a developmental delay of some sort, a disability, or a diagnosed physical or mental condition. That person needs to refer the child to the State's early intervention system, which can evaluate the child and determine if he or she does, in fact, have a developmental delay or disability.
Referrals at birth | "Someone noticing" and "referring" the child and family to the early intervention system may happen at birth. Often this is so for children who are diagnosed at birth with a specific condition or who experience significant prematurity, very low birth weight, illness, or surgery soon after being born. Even before heading home from the hospital, this child's parents may be given a referral to their local early intervention office.
Later referrals | Other children have a relatively routine entry into the world, but may develop more slowly than others, experience set backs, or develop in ways that seem very different from their peers. For these children, a visit with a developmental pediatrician may lead to an early intervention referral. Or perhaps the referral comes from a childcare provider, nurse, family member, or friend who notices that the child isn't meeting the normal "baby" milestones such as rolling over by a certain age, or sitting up, crawling, speaking, and so forth.
However the referral to early intervention happens, for children found eligible for services under Part C, early intervention can provide the vital support they need to learn critical developmental skills.
Primary referral sources | The referral system set up by the State must enable referrals in particular from what IDEA calls primary referral sources (e.g., parents, physicians, hospital staff). These are the individuals who are most likely to be interacting with very young children. They are in a position to notice that a child may have a developmental delay or disability and to make a referral to the Part C system.
Who's considered a "primary referral source?" The list of primary referral sources below comes directly from the Part C regulations, at §303.303(c):
hospitals (including prenatal and postnatal care facilities)
parents (especially parents with premature infants or infants with other physical risk factors associated with learning or developmental complications )
child care & early learning programs
local educational agencies (LEAs)
public health facilities
clinics or health care providers
child welfare agencies
homeless & domestic violence shelters
IDEA's list of primary referral sources isn't meant to be exhaustive, despite its length. A State may include additional referral sources its child find system.
Timeline for making a referral | Under the Part C regulations, referrals need to be made as soon as possible after the child is identified as possibly having a developmental delay or disabilities, but in no case more than seven days. [§303.303(a)(2)(i)]
Do parents have to wait for a referral? | No, parents do not have to wait for someone else to refer their child to the early intervention system. Parents themselves are considered a primary referral source. If parents have concerns about their child's development, they may contact the Part C system directly, explain their concerns, and ask that their little one be evaluated. The Part C system will respond according to its particular State policies and guide parents, given those policies.
Finding your Part C program | If you need to refer a child or family to early intervention, or ask for an evaluation of your child, there are multiple ways of locating who to call or write.
Ask the neonatal unit at the local hospital for the contact information of the local early intervention system.
If you're a parent, ask your child's pediatrician who to contact.
Visit the website of the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center—known as the ECTA Center—which maintains a list of current Part C coordinators by State. Contacting the State lead agency office is an excellent way to be put in touch with your local EI program.

Q: Linux: how to queue some jobs in the background? Here is the functionality I am looking for (and haven't quite found):
I have x processes that I want to run sequentially. Some of them could be quite time consuming.
I want these processes to run in the background of my shell.
I know about nohup, but it doesn't seem to work perfectly...assuming job1 is a time consuming job, if I ctrl+c out of the blank line that I get after doing nohup job1 && job2 && job3 &, then job2 and job3 won't run, and job1 might or might not run depending on how long I let nohup run.
Is there a way to get the functionality I want? I am ssh'ed into a linux server. For bonus points, I'd love it if the jobs that I queued up would continue running even if I closed my connection.
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: A small addendum to the question: if I have a shell script with three exec statements
exec BIGTHING
exec smallthing
exec smallthing
will it definitely be sequential? And is there a way to wrap those all into one exec line to get the equivalent functionality?
ie exec BIGTHING & smallthing & smallthing or && or somesuch
A: Alternatively, if you want a bit more control of your queue, e.g. the ability to list and modify entries, check out Task Spooler. It is available in the Ubuntu 12.10 Universe repositories as the package task-spooler.
A: I do agree that screen is very handy tool. There is additional command line tool enqueue - that enables enqueuing of additional jobs as needed i.e. even when you had already started one of the jobs, you can add another one when the first one is already running.
Here's sample from enqueue README:
$ enqueue add mv /disk1/file1 /disk2/file1
$ enqueue add mv /disk1/file2 /disk2/file2
$ enqueue add beep
$ enqueue list
A: Use screen.
*
*ssh to the server
*run screen
*launch your programs: job1;job2;job3 - separated with semicolons, they will run sequentially
*Detach from the screen: CTRL-A, D
*logout from the server
(later)
*ssh to the server
*run screen -r
*and you are in your shell with your job queue running...
A: a little more information:
If you separate your jobs with && it is equivalent to the &&/and operator in a programming language, such as in an if statement. If job 1 returns with an error, then job 2 won't run, etc. This is called "short circuiting." If you separate the jobs with ; instead, they will all run regardless of the return code.
If you end the line with & it will background the entire thing. If you forget, you can hit control+z to pause the command and give you a prompt, then the command "bg" will background them.
If you close your ssh session, likely it will end the commands because they are attached to your shell (at least in most implementations of bash). If you want it to continue after you've logged out, use the command "disown".
A: The basic mechanism for backgrounding a job from the shell is
job1 &
So you could do a simple shell script that does it sequentially for several of them, although at that point i'd consider diving into some scripting language like perl or python and writing a simple script to fork those processes. If your script forks itself as its first step, and does all its work in the fork, it will immediately return control back to you on the shell and continue running even if you log out.
A: To background it detaching it from the shell (tasks just backgrounded with & are subject to shell games), use
setsid foo
A: after your command put a &
for exmaple running an executable named foo:
./foo &
and it will also keep running even if you close your ssh connection.

High Yield: Identifying Value Amid Shifting Sentiment
April 2019 - 8 min read
Despite the sharp turns in high yield markets over the past two quarters, companies ticked along without flinching—posting strong earnings over the course. David Mihalick, Barings' Head of U.S. High Yield Investments, explains why.
We started this year with a strong rebound following a period of marked volatility in high yield markets during the fourth quarter of last year. Can you give us a sense for the drivers behind those events?
The last six months have undoubtedly been a roller coaster. If you look at risk assets, the S&P 500 was down about 14% in the fourth quarter, and then rebounded almost 14% in the first quarter. The high yield bond market was down about 5%, and came back over 7%. Loans were a similar story, down about 3% and up almost 4%.1
In our view, this was driven largely by technicals. If you look at how the fourth quarter unfolded, there were a lot of question marks around valuations at the beginning. Spreads were in the low 300s, there were negative headlines surrounding Brexit and the U.S.-China trade tensions, and there were concerns that the Fed would be too aggressive with raising rates. All of this led to softness in equity markets. We also started to see oil trade off, going down from around $70 per barrel to around $40. So, there was a cascading effect.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, loans held up pretty well—so funds that owned them actually started selling them to meet redemptions. But as the quarter evolved and the Fed assumed a more dovish posture, there were outflows from loan funds as well—totaling around $15 billion in December alone.1 On the bond side, the market actually started to see inflows as we entered the first quarter of the year. Some of those flows were driven by the Fed's change of posture, which motivated a lot of investors to move out of floating rate loans and into fixed rate bonds.
While investor sentiment was swinging from one extreme to the other, the companies in the high yield universe were quietly ticking along and, we know now, actually wrapping up a strong quarter from an earnings perspective. In fact, we track roughly 400 high yield issuers that also have public equities, and about 75-80% met or exceeded earnings expectations in the fourth quarter. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the performance mismatch between the companies and the markets, it's relatively clear that fundamentals were not to blame for the volatility. In fact, high yield defaults today are still at historically low levels, around 1-2%. It was largely technicals—particularly retail outflows— that created the short-term instability, which drove asset prices lower and created a good buying opportunity for us at the end of 2018.

The summer is a great time for students to take a rest from their busy schedules. And while this is good for them, their lack of learning over the summer leads to a phenomenon known as the summer slide. The National Summer Learning Association at Johns Hopkins University found that students lose as much as two months of reading and math ability they gained from the previous semester over the summer holidays.
Not only do students lose skills over the summer, they also waste four to six weeks at the beginning of the semester trying to catch up. If your student utilizes just a couple of hours a week to brush up on their math and reading abilities, they will not only retain the academic gains they made over the previous semester, they will be able to move ahead. This is especially helpful for those students who are struggling to keep up.
You don't have to do serious schoolwork to keep their brains sharp over the summer. Get your student to read books they actually enjoy. Buy books, order them online or borrow them from the library. Encourage reading, no matter what form that takes. If your student is more interested in manga, anime, comics and magazines, that can be a good source of practice too.
You can also practice other kinds of reading like recipes or instructions for DIY projects or manuals for new equipment in the home.
This is a wonderful way to help your child to keep their brain working over the summer, but it can really help those who are struggling to fill in the missing building blocks. Students who want to go up a grade or improve their marks to get into college can also utilize this time to expand their knowledge.
Find a one-to-one tutor who can come to your home, at a time that is convenient to you, and help your child to learn in a fun and interesting way. Tutors should not only help with the curriculum work, but should also develop your child's executive skills.
These are skills like organization, time management, task initiation and the ability to focus that will be invaluable in their academic careers. This will help them to be independent learners for life.
When student's grades improve, their confidence does too and this means they are more likely to pay attention in class and participate in the classroom experience. They are more likely to try new things and allow their natural curiosity to find new ways for them to learn. | RedPajamaC4_-7620124373590143390 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
