Vanek's vanishing act a glaring flaw for Wild When the Wild needed to win the most, Thomas Vanek gave the least. Vanek isn't the Wild's only problem. He's merely the most obvious. May 7, 2015 — 12:44pm JIM SOUHAN @Souhanstrib If Thomas Vanek played in the NFL, he'd be the proud new owner of the phrase "I play when I want to play." If he played in the NBA, he would be the exception who justifies the false stereotype that basketball players don't give maximum effort. Instead, he is lucky to be a player on a team that often obscures his failings in a state where he once helped a beloved college team win a national championship. Thomas Vanek is getting a pass. And, as has been the case so often in these playoffs, he's doing nothing with it. The next time Wild fans beg Chuck Fletcher to sign a former Gopher, he should hold up a picture from the Wild's 1-0 loss to Chicago on Tuesday. A picture of Vanek refusing to join the fray. Feed Loader Tuesday night, the Wild played its latest most important game of the season. A victory would position the team to tie the series at home, avoid a 3-0 deficit and give the Chicago Blackhawks reason to doubt their invincibility in a playoff against Minnesota. It was predictable that the Wild responded with a flurry of shots early in the game. These are the games that test a prideful player's will. Once Vanek missed a shot or two and the game became a grind, he disappeared. In an effort sport like hockey, you are never more visible than when you disappear. Vanek repeatedly carried the puck across the blue line, then stopped, ignoring open ice and his teammates, sometimes turning toward the boards and holding the puck, as if needing to catch his breath. Or because he actually needed to catch his breath. At the least, he could have followed the Wild's game plan of chipping the puck in and attacking on the forecheck. That's what this team was built to do. At the most, he could have used his estimable skills to stick-handle through traffic and create shots for himself or his linemates. The problem with those approaches, for Vanek, is that they require effort. In the latest most important game of the season, Vanek was not inclined to make one. He barely attempted to forecheck. Sometimes, when the puck was in the defensive zone, he hung out by the far blue line, like a lazy pickup basketball player hoping for a long outlet pass and a free layup. It's a wonder he expended enough energy to tie his skates, although he may have had someone do that for him. Every general manager and coach in every professional league makes the occasional deal with the devil, trading reliability for talent. The hope is that the player's production will outweigh his annoying tendencies. With Vanek, this approach has occasionally worked. He was productive when the Wild played well during the last three months of the season. He hit a crossbar against the Blues and a post against the Blackhawks. He has come close to justifying his existence on the roster, just as the Wild has come close to making the second round of the playoffs competitive. What's problematic is that when a player like Vanek doesn't produce, he invites questions about his motivation while becoming a rink-wide liability. His lack of effort has robbed the Wild of the comfort of the oldest rationalization in sports: "At least we gave it our best effort." Vanek isn't the Wild's only problem. He's merely the most obvious. Jason Pominville is dragging down the Wild's top line. Mikko Koivu produces little offensively. Goalie Devan Dubnyk has been less than spectacular. The difference between other lapsed Wild players and Vanek? Vanek is the only player obviously not giving his full effort. It's one thing to fail because you lack skill, or have fallen into a slump. It's another to violate the code that identifies hockey players as the toughest and most committed of athletes. The Wild's mantras about commitment and mental toughness will ring hollow as long as Vanek is getting ice time, and playing playoff hockey as if he'd rather be playing golf. Nam Y. Huh • Associated Press One of a handful of shots by Thomas Vanek in this playoff series was blocked by Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford. Jim Souhan's podcast can be heard at souhanunfiltered.com.

Rolled glass is a form of glass that has been used since the early part of the nineteenth century for churches, mosques and other religious sites around Morocco and elsewhere in the world. Rolled glass is often associated with stained glass applications like the large ones you'd see on a walled surface. It can also be used in Moroccan lanterns in your home. This glass is created by poured melted glass materials onto a table and then by rolling that liquid into a large sheet. This is similar to what you might use with dough on a rolling pin. Most places do this with a machine due to how hot the substance might be. The substance will then cool off so it can become hard in texture. The intention of making glass for Moroccan lanterns this was is to create a brilliant glass surface that is hard enough for most spaces but still thin to where it will actually fit into a lantern. You might find rolled glass with a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch in most cases. This means that the glass will still be relatively thick and durable without being too hard. This can be designed in many shapes and colors just as well. The colors are particularly added as your glass is in its liquid state and a metal oxide agent has to be added to it. You can enjoy rolled glass on your lantern with a brilliant appearance that makes it similar to what you might find on a church wall.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

It is conventionally used to describe the European experience of simultaneously promoting sustainable economic growth and social cohesion. However, the concept has suffered from a lack of clear definition. And where definitions have been found in the literature, they do not necessarily converge. This book presents the outcome of a project coordinated by the European Trade Union Institute in which experts from different countries and social scientific disciplines (sociology, political science and economics) were invited to reflect on both the meaning and political status of the concept of the ESM. In addition to analysing the ambiguities and multiple meanings attributed to the concept, the authors unpick the underlying assumptions and make use of a new approach — the ESM as political project — with which European countries can build consensus and share a common understanding. The book offers a new analytical framework and with new empirical evidence.Less The notion of the European Social Model (ESM) has been one of the fastest growing in European political and academic discourse in recent years.

Despite their differences, these financial assistance schemes all combined supranational and international legal instruments and institutions. The hybrid nature of this European financial assistance raises the question of whether the actors involved in the award of the assistance are bound by EU and international human rights. Against this background, this chapter assesses financial assistance conditionality as applied by the different financial institutions from an EU and international human rights perspective, aiming to respond to the question whether European and international actors are bound by human rights when preparing financial assistance conditions.Less Having been affected by the European financial crisis that erupted in 2008, several EU Member States required financial assistance beyond that available in the financial markets.

Q: Concatenate JsonRepresentation How can I concatenate multiple JsonRepresentation Object into one, without building my own string parser? Say I have two JsonRepresentation objects obj1 = {"name":"obj1"}; obj2 = {"name":"obj2"}; I would like to get the result concatenation as: { {"name":"obj1"}, {"name":"obj2"} } Reading the JsonRepresentation, there is no easy way to do this except by doing some string manipulation. Am I right? Thanks A: If you're referring to this JsonRepresentation class, and you want to merge the 2 objects into an array, then you should be able to do it as follows: JSONObject jsonObj1 = obj1.toJsonObject(); JSONObject jsonObj2 = obj2.toJsonObject(); JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray().append(jsonObj1).append(jsonObj2); JsonRepresentation jsonConcat = new JsonRepresentation(jsonArray); Note: I haven't actually used the library, but if it behaves per the API, this should be pretty straightforward.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaStackExchange" }
Congress President Rahul Gandhi has called comparisons between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi "an insult to Indiraji." Rahul said, "My grandmother's decisions came from love and affection... Modi's decisions come from anger and hatred and his decisions divide the country." He further claimed that unlike PM Modi, Indira had cared for the poor in India.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

The goal of a business report is to persuade others to make changes and/or to make advantageous decisions for your organization. Here are go-to rules for creating business reports that stand out and show you to be an accomplished professional. Gear your report to your audience's level of interest and knowledge. When addressing internal personnel, offer in-depth information, knowing they'll understand all industry jargon or concepts. When writing for an external audience, offer a more straightforward presentation, and include explanations as needed. Do you want people to learn more about a pressing situation? Anticipate and prepare for a potential problem? Approve funding for a new project? State the report's purpose in your title and introduction so readers are clued in immediately. Gather important facts and figures—access internal reports, speak to key stakeholders, and conduct online research. Be sure to double check all data, because inaccurate information makes you look bad and can lead to poor decisions. Explain the goal you'd like to see implemented, along a timeline and actions that can be taken to accomplish your goal—on time and within budget. Executive summaries should be no more than one page double-spaced and give a brief overview of the report and all crucial points. And although the summary is the first thing people will read, you should write it last. Use short words and sentences. Include only relevant information that supports your statements. Break information into separate sections—for instance, "Customer Data" and "Cost of Sales." Readers should be able to scan heads, subheads and bullets to easily grasp all points. Support concise conclusions with information from your research. Create recommendations for solving any problem(s) raised in your report. Make sure to reference potential benefits—higher sales, increased productivity, and so on. Never rely on spell-check alone. Reread and edit what you've written. Then proofread, proofread, proofread. Typos and grammatical mistakes will undermine anyone's credibility. Make your report look good. Include colorful, easy-to-read, charts and graphs as needed. Print your report on good-quality paper and place it in a folder. Presentation counts!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

Stephen Frears est un réalisateur et producteur anglais, né le à Leicester (Midlands de l'Est). Plus ponctuellement, il est aussi scénariste et acteur. Après avoir signé plusieurs drames sociaux anglais durant les années 1980, il s'impose en 1988 avec la comédie de mœurs en costumes Les Liaisons dangereuses. Le réalisateur confirme sa francophilie quelques années plus tard en signant Dirty Pretty Things (2002), avec l'actrice Audrey Tautou, puis en tournant en France un nouveau film en costumes, Chéri (2009), avec Michelle Pfeiffer. Mais durant les années 2000, il réalise surtout plusieurs films aux États-Unis - dont Mary Reilly (1998) et High Fidelity (2000). À partir de la fin des années 2000, il se consacre, avec succès, à des biopics de femmes plus ou moins connues : Madame Henderson présente (2005), Tamara Drewe (2010), Philomena (2013), Florence Foster Jenkins (2015). Il signe aussi deux explorations de la monarchie britannique : le multirécompensé The Queen (2006) et Confident Royal (2017). Par la diversité des genres qu'il aborde et ses accents audacieux voire provocateurs, Stephen Frears est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands cinéastes internationaux. Il a régulièrement collaboré avec plusieurs grandes stars, comme Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, John Malkovich, Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helen Mirren, Anjelica Huston, Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Kathy Bates, ou encore Gary Oldman. Biographie Formation et révélation comme cinéaste (années 1970-1980) Stephen Arthur Frears naît le à Leicester (Midlands de l'Est). Il fait ses études à la Gresham's School et au Trinity College de l'Université de Cambridge où il suit des cours de droit avant de travailler pour le théâtre. Il commence sa carrière au cinéma comme assistant de Karel Reisz et réalise son premier film pour la BBC en 1970 : Gumshoe. Initialement prévu pour une diffusion télévisée, My Beautiful Laundrette, histoire d'amour entre un jeune paumé et un Pakistanais, sort en salles en 1985. Le film qui rend compte de la rudesse sociale dans l'Angleterre de l'ère Thatcher, le rend célèbre sur le plan international. Frears récidive dans cette veine du film hybride entre fresque sociale et romance avec Sammy et Rosie s'envoient en l'air réalisé en 1987. Film à suspense avec le théâtre pour toile de fond, Prick Up Your Ears est récompensé à Cannes la même année. En 1988, il porte à l'écran l'adaptation par Christopher Hampton des Liaisons dangereuses de Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Il y dirige une distribution prestigieuse : Glenn Close, John Malkovich et Michelle Pfeiffer tiennent les rôles principaux. Le film est un triomphe planétaire, couronné par 3 Oscars. Carrière hollywoodienne (années 1990) Passé aux États-Unis, Frears réalise d'abord un film noir : Les Arnaqueurs avec John Cusack, Anjelica Huston et Annette Bening puis une comédie satirique sur l'héroïsme et la célébrité interprétée par Dustin Hoffman, Andy García et Geena Davis : Héros malgré lui. De retour au Royaume-Uni, il met en scène deux films sociaux mêlant humour et gravité : The Snapper et The Van, puis retourne à Hollywood pour filmer plusieurs films indépendants : le film d'horreur Mary Reilly avec Julia Roberts qui joue une bonne fascinée par la double identité de son maître, le docteur Jekyll ; puis le drame The Hi-Lo Country (1998), rendant hommage au western américain, avec Woody Harrelson et Billy Crudup ; enfin la comédie dramatique High Fidelity (2000), portée par John Cusack. Le , il réalise la prouesse de diriger le téléfilm Point Limite en direct sur la chaîne américaine CBS. Il tourne aussi le drame historique Liam pour la télévision britannique. La décennie suivante, il tourne surtout en Europe. Retour en Europe et consécration (années 2000) En 2003, il dévoile Dirty Pretty Things, un thriller social avec la désormais star internationale, l'actrice française Audrey Tautou. Puis il réalise le biopic Madame Henderson présente, avec Judi Dench et Bob Hoskins dans les rôles principaux. Il y brosse le portrait d'une veuve fortunée décidant, à la fin des années 1930, de mener une revue de spectacles dévêtus. Mais surtout, il met en scène Helen Mirren dans le biopic The Queen, primé à Venise et aux Oscars. La comédienne y tient le rôle de la reine Élisabeth II, fragilisée par le décès de son ex-belle fille Lady Diana. À la suite de ce succès de l'année 2006, le réalisateur fait une pause avant de revenir trois ans plus tard avec un long-métrage renouant avec la comédie de mœurs et le film en costumes avec Chéri, histoire d'amour à la Belle Époque entre une prostituée d'âge mûr et un jeune mondain. Le réalisateur a tourné en France pour cette adaptation de l'œuvre éponyme de Colette. Il conclut cette décennie avec une autre adaptation et un autre portrait de femme : Tamara Drewe est une transposition du roman graphique de Posy Simmonds avec Gemma Arterton dans le rôle-titre. Biopics (années 2010) Le réalisateur retourne à Hollywood pour signer la comédie policière Lady Vegas : Les Mémoires d'une joueuse, pour laquelle il dirige Catherine Zeta-Jones et Bruce Willis. Les critiques sont cependant très mauvaises. Le cinéaste rebondit déjà en Angleterre l'année suivante avec la comédie dramatique Philomena, une histoire vraie portée par l'actrice Judi Dench, associée à Steve Coogan, qui produit aussi le long-métrage. Quatre nominations aux Oscars saluent le film. Le cinéaste s'attelle à une autre histoire vraie, en explorant les dessous du dopage dans le cyclisme en transposant l'affaire Lance Armstrong avec la co-production internationale The Program. Les rôles principaux sont confiés à Ben Foster et Chris O'Dowd. Le film passe cependant inaperçu. Il rebondit avec un autre biopic, Florence Foster Jenkins, qui lui permet de mettre en scène un duo d'acteurs inattendu, Meryl Streep et Hugh Grant. Ce long-métrage racontant la vie de la riche héritière du même nom dotée d'une passion pour l'art lyrique mais chantant terriblement faux, est acclamée par la critique. Le réalisateur retrouve Judi Dench en 2017, pour une nouvelle exploration de la monarchie britannique, Confident Royal. Le long-métrage, une romance entre deux personnes que la société oppose, permet au cinéaste de renouer avec un récit comparable à celui de My Beautiful Laundrette. Après une longue absence, il revient à la mise en scène avec The Lost King prévue en 2022. Cette comédie dramatique met en scène Sally Hawkins dans le rôle de Philippa Langley, une historienne amateure qui s'est lancé à la découverte du corps de Richard III. Vie privée Il a épousé Anne Rothenstein en 1992. Il avait eu, d'un précédent mariage, deux enfants : le réalisateur Will Frears et une fille. Il fut président du jury au Festival de Cannes, qui s'est tenu du 16 au . Le , il est fait commandeur des arts et des lettres.

Celebrity WShow Home » Fashion » H&M Expects to Shrug off Coronavirus Losses H&M Expects to Shrug off Coronavirus Losses H&M, like so many other fashion companies, posted significant losses during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, but the ever-agile fast fashion behemoth is readying itself for a major comeback by year's end. Like similarly-minded low-cost retailers, the fast fashion giant lost money but is planning a major revival before 2021. With expected pre-tax profit of approximately 2 billion SEK (approximately $2.27 billion USD), H&M's sales are still down when compared to a year prior (19 percent lower when converted to Sedish Kroner), but it's a minimized decline compared to the expected results. Furthermore, the company began the quarter with 900 of its 5,000 stores closed; now only 200 store are temporarily closed. "More full-price sales combined with strong cost control enabled the company to already turn to profit in the third quarter," H&M said in a statement. "As a result of appreciated collections together with rapid and decisive actions, the H&M group's recovery is better than expected." This snappy recovery is indicative of the fast fashion industry's ability to swiftly adapt to the pandemic's demands (accessible digital services) and provide comfortable, affordable clothing with broad appeal. Investors rallied around H&M in response to the predicted report — which will be published in full October 1 — similarly to the recent funding that bolstered the embattled Everlane's coffers. By and large, shoppers still crave cheap clothing and trendy styles. Meanwhile, J.Crew is recovering from its own tumultuous season.

Predictive maintenance can help sports franchises preserve their stadium facilities. Home » Archive » Topics » Building Envelope & Exteriors » Stadium Maintenance: Would Better Field Upkeep Have Kept The Rams In St. Louis? As the Rams' move to Los Angeles is finalized, it's clear that a fire on the field and a torn ACL were the final nails in the coffin for the NFL team's 20-year stint in St. Louis. In accordance with their lease, Rams owner Stanley Kroenke and his team had clearance to leave for another city if the Edward Jones Dome dropped out of the top tier of NFL arenas. And for two decades, the stadium slowly deteriorated to force the hand of the NFL and the city of St. Louis: either provide taxpayer dollars to build a new stadium in St. Louis or let Kroenke slip away to revive the Los Angeles market. But, what would have happened had preventive or predictive maintenance been a part of the plan all along? Proper facility maintenance can significantly impact the success of professional sports franchises and in turn, their demands on the taxpayer. In light of the Levi's Stadium recent turf overhaul ahead Super Bowl 50 this weekend, sports facilities should recognize the serious ROI that can result from maintenance best practices. Too often, franchises (or really any large organization) maintain facilities with a corrective, run-to-failure approach — one that simply allows the stadiums to run their course. These organizations see maintenance as an inevitable afterthought, rather than an integral part of their organization's success. With this mindset, small, preventable nuisances begin to occur. The air conditioning malfunctions. The Jumbotron stops working. These issues then require technicians to correct the problem after the fact, which is costly and strains the organization's relationship with fans and staff. This is what happened in St. Louis. The facility experienced several years of consistent issues, creating a negative reputation for the stadium and the franchise. If properly maintained, Edward Jones Dome could still be in good shape today and many of its issues could have been prevented. But, it would have required a fundamental shift in the way the franchise handled maintenance. Forward-thinking organizations prioritize maintenance by investing in the right technology and working with the right partners to maximize the lifespans of their facilities. A proper approach to maintenance starts with prevention. The most basic way to manage facility maintenance is by using historical data to understand the typical lifespan of certain assets and systems throughout the stadium, and upgrading or fixing parts before they malfunction. This approach saves money, time and headaches. Rather than dealing with an air conditioning failure on an 80 degree September day, a preventive strategy would have called for parts of the system to be replaced before it broke down. But, there's an even more modern approach to maintenance that involves digitally tracking assets in real time. Predictive maintenance, which is often used to supplement a preventive strategy, uses sensors to feed data into a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) that can predict when a maintenance problem is developing and automatically generate a work order. These systems can track metrics like temperature, air filter levels, or water pressure in real time and alert technicians when issues might occur. While a calendar-based approach can also anticipate many of these problems, unforeseen complications are unfortunately all too common. Any organization with a new building should take the idea of predictive maintenance seriously to maximize the facility's lifespan — even older buildings can be retroactively fit with these types of technologies. Had the Rams franchise taken a more preventive and predictive approach, the Edward Jones Dome could have lasted much longer than 20 years. A properly maintained facility is vital to the success of a franchise. Fans attend sporting events for the experience and part of that experience is their interaction with the facility. If a bathroom sink is overflowing or if the temperature isn't regulated properly, fans will remember and spread the word. A maintenance-first mindset not only keeps staff and fans happy, but it also cuts costs. With fewer repairs and major maintenance issues, you'll get more use out of your assets, systems will run more effectively and the building will last longer. A well-maintained facility can lead to serious ROI and long-term savings. Safety is also an issue closely tied to maintenance. A quality system will track maintenance staff and require each of these individuals to complete the proper training and certification. They'll have to sign off on all requirements before completing any maintenance tasks. This approach not only ensures that the facilities staff remain safe, but it also reduces liability and insurance rates. Overall, a poorly-maintained facility is bad for morale and the bottom line. Organizations like the Rams could have maintained a loyal fan base in St. Louis by providing a better experience with a quality facility. Instead, they let the stadium run its course and spent enormous amounts of money on reactive maintenance that eroded the experience for all who visited the facility.

Thankyou Dejeselam Egziabher Yistilin For your updated info. it is really good news to our church. qeriwn melkam Zena yaseman Amen!!! Egziabher fisamewu yihunlen. Eredetu Ayelen. Amen. please don't disgrace the name wht we all it (a holy sinode) bcause the groups are not doing holy deeds, most of them are government agents in the church. think about their action! who is behind this mess? why weyane damp his main man? what is the main purpose of this qudeta? why the government want to diverte people attention to the church? why those gangista(synode)condem weyane for dessi masacer along with abba poulos. Let us not mix what should not be mixed. The church is the church. Politics is politics. Talking about church, we had better do for betterment and give church matters to the Almighty who accomplishes things in His own time and means. Hence, we must not preach hatred, discrimination and politics. you guys let us cool, it is God the Holy Spirit who helps the church. I think now God will doing His action to weakup all people. Prayers for church, abune paulose and abune filipos. I can not believe this and I can not wait to see the when our church administration got solved. Gena Egzihabher Menefes Kidus (Holy Spirit) will continue to do His worrk. Chere Wore Yaseman.Amen!. The person on top commenting that Kidus Sinodose as (gangsta) please do ur research or erashen bedegame bemenfesawinet gemegem..then you can speak!! Have you heard what the Patriarch said when told to leave the meeting.. the Patriarch said "the government is behind me".. when they were supposed to say "God is behind me"... They have the memeber in God's Temple, but they do not know God!!! What I meant on top is not that the Holy Spirit drives what the Patriarch is doing but as a Patriarich, they(esachew) are not supposed to rely on government but on God. It's just a beautiful example that they(esachew) do not know God. We are indebted to your reports especially these days on the Holy Synod case Deje selamoch. However, my mind is always questioning "Is the conflict really about the well being of our holy church or is a power trip" I mean don't blame me for asking. In this era of woyane any thing can happen. I mean we are well experienced to be silent not to oppose any thing in that country including in our church matters. Remember the case of Addis Ababa St.Mariam Church case and military intervention some years ago, St Stefanos church and its complication. We are experienced that our church leaders are capable of crushing oppositions through military menses. Abune Stifanos is a young Abun who got his Abunian rank not so long ago from Abune Pawelose. I am really confused the opposing groups is lead by pops from the same ethnic group to Abune Pawelos. There are so many possible scenarios that need to be checked!!!! Let the almighty God look us in his mercy full eyes and give us his ever lasting solution!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
The OpenSubtitles API supports 2 different ways to search for and lookup subtitles. On the OpenSubtitles website you will only be able to search for and upload subtitles by name which makes finding perfectly synced subtitles extremely troublesome. That's why OpenSubtitles native applications like FileBot use a special hash that is computed based on the actual video file so that perfectly matched subtitles can be downloaded fully automatically. When looking up subtitles via hash FileBot will only use a 8 byte hash computed from the video file as well as it's file size (e.g. hash=15597dfefd704c45, size=3636599158) to find perfectly matched subtitles. Since hash/size uniquely identifies a specific video file the subtitles a guranteed to be perfectly synced. Only subtitles that have been uploaded with hash/size by OpenSubtitles native applications like FileBot can be retrieved via hash so when uploading subtitles, FileBot will require you to select the corresponding video file for each subtitle. In addition you will also need to select the Movie / Series so these subtitles so the subtitles can then be found by movie name or series name as well. If FileBot can't find subtitles via Exact Search it will default to searching for subtitles by name using information available in the video filename like movie name, series name, episode numbers, etc pretty much the same was as if you were looking up subtitles manually. FileBot will of course try to guess the best matching subtitles but perfectly matching subtitles cannot be guaranteed. If you find subtitles for your video files via Fuzzy Search and have confirmed that the subtitles are perfectly synced to your video files, please using FileBot to upload the subtitles again so the missing hash/size information can be added to OpenSubtitles and make subtitle download all the more painless for all other users.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

Biofilms and antibiotic resistance pose challenges to our future ability to treat bacterial diseases with antibiotics (1). Bacteria frequently live in biofilms, which are surface-associated communities encased in a hydrated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix (2, 3). Biofilms are crucial in the pathogenesis of many clinically-important infections and are difficult to eradicate because they exhibit resistance to antimicrobial agents and removal by host immune systems (4). Antibiotics can even induce biofilm formation (5, 6). The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is also a growing medical problem. Antibiotic resistance genes can be acquired by horizontal gene transfer and passed vertically to later generations (7). Antibiotic resistance can also result from persistence, a phenomena in which a subpopulation of cells can withstand antibiotic treatment without containing antibiotic-resistance genes (8). These problems, coupled with decreasing output of new antibiotics, have highlighted the need for new treatments for bacterial infections (1, 9-12). I developed three novel strategies for attacking bacterial biofilms and antibiotic resistance using synthetic biology. To remove biofilms, I engineered bacteriophage to express a biofilm degrading enzyme during infection to simultaneously attack biofilm cells and the biofilm EPS matrix. These enzymatically-active bacteriophage substantially reduced biofilm cell counts by 4.5 orders of magnitude (-99.997% removal), which was about two orders of magnitude better than that of non-enzymatic phage. To address antibiotic-resistant bacteria, I targeted gene networks with synthetic bacteriophage to create antibiotic adjuvants. (cont.) Suppressing the SOS network with engineered bacteriophage enhanced killing by ofloxacin, a quinolone drug, by over 2.7 and 4.5 orders of magnitude compared with control bacteriophage plus ofloxacin and ofloxacin alone, respectively. I also built phage that targeted multiple gene networks and demonstrated their effectiveness as antibiotic adjuvants. Engineered bacteriophage reduced the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and performed as strong adjuvants for other bactericidal antibiotics such as aminoglycosides and P-lactams. Finally, I designed synthetic in vivo sensors for antibiotic-resistance genes that can be coupled with effector components to kill cells carrying resistance genes or to block horizontal transmission of those genes. My work demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of using engineered bacteriophage and synthetic biology constructs to address the dual threats of bacterial biofilms and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Long talk with Unson about the reorganization of the government. Query: how to get funds from the Legislature for research scientific work? We finally decided the only way by which we could avoid alarming the legislature is to strengthen the Bureau of Science, instead of turning over its researchers to the University, or trying to secure a large appropriation for the Council of National Research (Dr. Roxas); Unson says Governor General Murphy considered Dr. Roxas something of a spendthrift. We talked of the American attitude of growing indifference and severity towards the Philippines. He commented that it was American psychology for a father to cut loose entirely from a grown-up son! Unson expressed doubt of the Philippine Army. Quezon returned from Hong Kong and after a day at Malacañan left for Baguio. His office work is greatly in arrears and is in confusion. Vargas handed me a memorandum prepared by Quezon dated April 14 in Iloilo, addressed to me, (and unsigned) asking me to prepare papers to carry out the recommendations of the annual report of the Manila Railroad Co. This I received May 18!! Vargas says he found it "on the boat" (Arayat?). I hardly think it was meant for me, anyway, but probably for Paez who is away inspecting the line for the proposed railroad in Mindanao. Quezon cannot stand the racket at Malacañan Palace–when he finally does receive his visitors he gives three times the time necessary for each interview. He is too restless for office work anyway, and while there feels like a bird in a cage. He gives himself so thoroughly to each visitor that this kind of work wears him out. He cannot, however, let his underlings run their offices, so all of them are simply terrified of him, and the administration becomes paralyzed. I asked Unson why the United States Army officers thrust themselves to the fore continually in the press, giving "full military honors" and exchanging so many visits of ceremony, so that the public must have an engorged idea of militarism in the Philippines. He said this was not so from Taft to me, but dated from General Wood as Governor General. Unson is anxious to have the Bureau of Printing print all textbooks for Philippine schools; but is opposed by the Bureau of Education. I advised him to include this recommendation in the Survey Board's report on the Bureau of Printing, thus advocating giving more employment to Filipino printers.

What to know about a new bill that would make public colleges tuition-free In the coming weeks, a bill that has gained attention in the state legislature will be introduced to the General Assembly. This bill would free up hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for education, according to several Democrats and Republicans who spoke on the phone with HuffPost. The legislation would eliminate most fees and fees for private colleges, which are now required to provide financial aid for students. In fact, many colleges, including the University of California-Berkeley, the University at Buffalo and the University-Wilmington, would see an increase in their financial aid packages. But what about public colleges? Many colleges, like Harvard University, would still be required to make payments for students to attend. In a statement, the university said it is "committed to ensuring access to a quality education for all students." Public colleges are not the same as private ones. The public colleges, known as public colleges or public universities, are not private institutions. They operate under the same rules and accredit them to the same standards. But unlike private institutions, they also have to follow certain rules, including providing financial aid to students and avoiding predatory lending practices. Here are a few of the ways that public colleges might not be so free of financial obligation. How many students would attend? A public college would not necessarily enroll students from all of its campuses, but it would need to make sure students at each campus get the same level of support. According to a study released by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, the average public college student spends more than $10,000 per year on their education. The federal government estimates that, by 2060, public colleges will have to offer nearly $3 trillion in tuition relief. It's unclear how much this relief would cost. Public schools would also have fewer students, but fewer students would be able to afford tuition. Many public schools have to pay students in-state tuition. This is where some students would likely end up after the bill passes, said Chris Weltman, executive director of the National Association of Scholars. "It's a lot of money, but that money would be more or less a fraction of the overall costs that public schools are already paying," he said. In the end, most students would end up at the private colleges and not at the public ones. What would they pay? According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, public college tuition costs are currently $1,542 per credit hour. That's more than double what the average private college student pays. But a bill eliminating fees would free students to pay more. According a survey of more than 1,000 students by the American Council on Education, less than 20 percent of public college students said they would pay more money if their tuition was not waived. "If tuition is waived, there will be fewer students in the system," said the study's author, Robert Shrum, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Public college students have a $2,000 maximum Pell Grant per year, but the bill would raise that by more than a half. So if public schools eliminated fees, students would have to wait a lot longer to enroll in college. "We are going to see the number of students who are in public higher education decline substantially in the coming years," Weltmann said. "I don't think we will see the kind of significant increase in students coming out of the system who are able to earn their degrees and be employed." A bill that eliminates fees is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate Education Committee this week. But it could be difficult to get enough support to pass, because Republicans and Democrats are not in agreement on how to fund the bill. The bill will likely face opposition from some Democrats, but most Republicans are on board with it. According the Center's analysis, only 32 percent of the American public supports abolishing tuition at public colleges. If the bill does pass, the number could increase to about 40 percent. Why are there concerns about the bill's impact on college affordability? Some people who attended private colleges or did not pay tuition might be able pay for college without any financial aid. "When I was a student, I remember the price of a degree was so high, that I would take out a loan," said Kaitlyn Ollison, a graduate of the University in South Carolina and a recent Harvard graduate. "The money you paid out of pocket was often not enough for college. So I would have more financial aid and I would be paying more than my parents and I didn't have to worry about the cost of housing and food. That could have been a good thing." That said, many students are still struggling financially because of rising tuition costs. The National Center for Education Statistics found that median household income for families with a college degree in 2015 was $58,921, and the average amount students borrowed was $22,851.

Piąte oraz szóste zawody w ramach Letniego Grand Prix w skokach narciarskich 2017 odbyły się w Hakubie w dniach 26-27 sierpnia. Oba konkursy indywidualne zostały rozegrane na dużej Skoczni Olimpijskiej. Dzień wcześniej odbyły się kwalifikacje do pierwszego z dwóch zaplanowanych konkursów. Kwalifikacje do pierwszych zawodów zwyciężył reprezentant gospodarzy Ryōyū Kobayashi przed Szwajcarem Simonem Ammannem i zwycięzcą Pucharu Beskidów Klemensem Murańką. Odpadło pięciu zawodników, w tym jeden został zdyskwalifikowany; w tym gronie znalazło się dwóch reprezentantów Korei Południowej, jeden Niemiec, Czech oraz Kanadyjczyk. W pierwszym konkursie indywidualnym zwycięstwo wywalczył sobie Junshirō Kobayashi, a za nim na podium uplasowali się również Kenneth Gangnes wraz z Klemensem Murańką. Wszyscy reprezentanci Polski pomyślnie awansowali do serii finałowej. Łącznie zostało sklasyfikowanych 48 zawodników co wiąże się z dwoma dyskwalifikacjami, które otrzymali Lukas Wagner i Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes. Planowane kwalifikacje do drugiego konkursu mające poprzedzić sam konkurs zostały odwołane z powodu małej liczby zgłoszonych zawodników potrzebnych do ich rozegrania. Zamiast nich zostanie przeprowadzona seria próbna. Drugi konkurs indywidualny ponownie wygrał Junshirō Kobayashi, za którego plecami na podium stanął jego brat Ryōyū Kobayashi. Trzecie miejsce ostatecznie zajął Anže Lanišek. W tym konkursie również doszło do dwóch dyskwalifikacji, które za nieprzepisowy kombinezon otrzymali ponownie Lukas Wagner oraz reprezentant Turcji Fatih Arda İpcioğlu. Skocznia Program zawodów Jury Dyrektorem konkursów podczas zawodów Letniego Grand Prix w Hakubie był Mitsugu Satō, oraz z ramienia Międzynarodowej Federacji Narciarskiej, dyrektor zawodów Pucharu Świata, Walter Hofer.

This topic describes how to use Admin Center to change the account owner. The method you choose to change the account owner depends on whether the account owner is still available, or if they have left the organization. You must be the current account owner to make this change and you can only have one account owner at a time. Important: When you change the owner of your account, integrations that were set up by the previous account owner may break. For more information, see Will there be any issues with changing the account owner? This article includes the following topics: Transferring ownership Asking Zendesk to change the account owner Finding the account owner Note: If you are using Legacy Chat versions, refer to (Legacy Chat) changing your Zendesk Chat account owner. Only the current account owner can transfer ownership to another user. When the current owner is still available, transferring ownership is simple. By setting another administrator to the account owner role, the previous account owner loses access to all subscription-related pages such as Invoices and Payment. To transfer ownership to a different user, the new owner must be a current administrator on the account. If you need to add the new account owner, see Adding agents and administrators. To transfer ownership to a current administrator In any product, click the Zendesk Products icon ( ) in the top bar, then select Admin Center. Click the Account icon ( ) in the left sidebar, then click Account owner. Select an administrator from the Account Owner drop-down list. You must have at least one other administrator to see the list. To transfer ownership to a new administrator, when no agent seats are available If you need to add the new owner to the account, and no agent seats are available, the current owner can edit their own user profile to make the transfer. In Zendesk Support, click the current owner's profile icon in the upper-right corner of the page header, then select View profile page. In the profile's email field, click add contact and enter the new owner's email address. The new owner receives a verification email at this address. After the new email is verified, return to the current owner's profile. Click the dropdown icon on the new email address, and select Make primary contact. Delete the old owner's email address from the account. The account and profile now belong to the new owner. Reset the account's password and update the other account information as needed. Note: If you do not want to change the email address of the current owner profile, you can submit a request to Zendesk Customer Support and we can assist with adding a temporary agent seat to your account to create a new user profile. If the current owner is no longer available, Zendesk can make the change for you following a quick security measure. Send a written request in PDF format to Zendesk Customer Support including: The account subdomain The name and email address of the current account owner. The name and email address of the new account owner The billing address The last four digits of the credit card number on file Note: If you are billed by invoice, you do not need to include the last four digits of the credit card. Include the above information in a letter on your company letterhead, signed by a manager at your organization. If your company doesn't have letterhead, please be sure to include your company's mailing address and phone number in the letter.

Today…a short tutorial on my small dragonfly/ bug from a flyswatter. These are EVERY bit as popular as the large….table leg/ceiling fan blade dragaonfly version. I've already had more orders for these…than I have in two months with their larger cousin! These are simple to make…and in a way….easier than the larger…because you don't have to wait for a torn up ceiling fan to "happen"! And if you DON'T use recycled stuff…you can EASILY get this stuff at the hardware store! Just take a chair leg…or table leg of your choosing….or even a small spindle paint it however you like….mine came with the large screw in the end…we just unscrewed that…and the hole it left is PERFECT to take a pipe cleaner folded in half and stick in there for antennas. The eyes on this one are easier too…because EVERYONE has or can get bottle caps….they can even be found at the hobby store these days. I just painted mine black and ran a screw through the middle for eyes. The wings….believe it or not….I found painted just like they are! Can anyone guess? YEP!!! a fly swatter cut in half and curved a little! You'll need two swatters for each bug. Another one of those ideas that just happened in my head. A friend was asking what I would do with some small spindles/chair legs…and for some reason….this just popped into my head….and the next day I found these zebra striped fly swatters. Now who doesn't like zebra stripes? I'm loving these in all shapes, sizes and colors. They are SOOOOO cute hanging about outside. I think this little bug from a flyswatter, would even be cute inside!!! I used pliers to cut the fly swatter right before the first set of twists….that way you still have enough wire to twist around a screw for attaching. Then if you're gonna paint them…do that now. Cheryl L. This is one of yours! Thanks!….Thank you so much for hosting!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
\section{Introduction} Computing the scattering amplitudes of a quantum theory using its singular and analytic structure has a long history with many notable sucesses~\cite{Eden}. Recently the five-point all-plus helicity amplitude has been computed in QCD: first the integrands were determined using the method of maximal cuts~\cite{Badger:2013gxa} and $D$-dimensional unitarity and then the integrals were evaluated yielding a compact analytic form~\cite{Gehrmann:2015bfy}. In $D$-dimensional unitarity the cuts are computed in $D=4-2\epsilon$ dimensions where, typically, the components of the cuts are considerably more complicated than in four dimensions. In~\cite{Dunbar:2016aux} it was demonstrated that four-dimensional unitarity techniques~\cite{Bern:1994zx,Bern:1994cg} blended with a knowledge of the singular structure of the amplitude could reproduce this form in a straightforward way. The four-dimensional approach was also used to calculate the six-point amplitude~\cite{Dunbar:2016cxp,Dunbar:2016gjb} which was subsequently verified~\cite{Badger:2016ozq}. Here we apply these techniques to gravity amplitudes with a particular emphasis on their Ultra-Violet (UV) behaviour. Understanding the UV structure of quantum gravity necessitates studying the two-loop amplitude. 't Hooft and Veltman~\cite{OneLoopFinite} demonstrated the one-loop finiteness of on-shell amplitudes in quantum gravity by showing the available counterterms in four dimensions made no contribution to perturbative amplitudes. This cancellation does not persist to two loop and Goroff and Sagnotti~\cite{Goroff:1985th,vandeVen:1991gw} in a landmark calculation were able to compute a UV infinity of the form \begin{equation} \sim { 209\over 80 \epsilon} \times A^R \end{equation} where $A^R$ is the functional form generated by an $R^3$ counterterm. A feature of the computation was the appearance of sub-divergences which were cancelled diagram by diagram. In~\cite{Bern:2015xsa} this computation was revisited using evanescent operators which arise at one-loop to remove the sub-divergences in the four-point two-loop amplitude. For gravity coupled to various matter multiplets they found UV terms \begin{equation} \left( { a_1\over \epsilon} + a_2 \ln(\mu^2) \right) \times A^R \end{equation} and noted that the coefficient of $\ln(\mu^2)$, $a_2$, was more robust and simpler than $a_1$. Specifically, when coupled to $n_3$ (non-propagating) three form fields $a_1$ obtained a contribution proportional to $n_3$ but $a_2$ did not. Additionally when coupled to scalars and vectors $a_2$ was simply proportional to the the difference between the number of bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom. As was argued in ref~\cite{Bern:2015xsa}, the coefficient $a_2$ has physical content since after renormalisation the amplitude depends upon $a_2$ but not $a_1$. In this article we explore and compute, up to rational terms, the four and five-point two-loop amplitude in quantum gravity where all the external gravitons have positive helicity. We use the techniques which have proven successful for the gluon amplitude: the amplitude is organised using a knowledge of its singularity structure, then four-dimensional unitarity is used to determine the logarithmic and dilogarithmic parts. Since $\ln(\mu^2)$ only appears in the combination $\ln(K^2/\mu^2)$ we can extract the coefficient of $\ln(\mu^2)$ using unitarity. We obtain the same coefficient of $\ln(\mu^2)$ for the four-point amplitude as in ref.~\cite{Bern:2015xsa}. We also obtain the coefficient of $\ln(\mu^2)$ for the five-point amplitude and show that this matches to the same $R^3$ counterterm. \section{Structure of the Amplitude} \defr_{\Gamma}{{\rm r}_{\Gamma}} As a convention we remove the coupling constant factors from the full $n$-point $L$-loop amplitude, ${\cal M}_n^{(L)}$ using \begin{equation} {\cal M}_n^{(L)}(1,\cdots ,n) = { i(\kappa/2)^{n-2+2L} (r_{\Gamma})^L \over (4\pi)^{L(2-\epsilon)} } {M}_n^{(L)}(1,\cdots ,n) \label{eq:fullampdefinition} \end{equation} where $r_{\Gamma}=\Gamma^2(1-\epsilon)\Gamma(1+\epsilon)/\Gamma(1-2\epsilon)$. We then organise the amplitude according to its singularity structure. The amplitude has both Infra-Red (IR) and UV singularities in the dimensional regulation parameter $\epsilon$. The all-plus amplitudes, which are finite at one-loop, can be divided as: \begin{align} M^{(2)}_{n} =& M^{(1)}_{n}I^{(1)}_n +\;G^{(2)}_n + \;F^{(2)}_{n} +\;R^{(2)}_{n} + {\mathcal O}(\epsilon)\,, \label{eq:definitionremainder} \end{align} where the first term contains the IR singularities of the amplitude. The function $I^{(1)}_n$ is~\cite{Weinberg:1965nx,Dunbar:1995ed,Naculich:2011ry,Akhoury:2011kq} \begin{align}\label{definitionremainderI} I^{(1)}_{n} =& \left[ - \sum_{i < j}^{n} \frac{1}{\epsilon^2} s_{ij}\left( \frac{\mu^2}{-s_{ij}}\right)^{\epsilon} \right] \end{align} and $M^{(1)}_{n}$ is the all-$\epsilon$ form of the one-loop amplitude (with $s_{ij}=(k_i+k_j)^2$). The leading singularity of $I^{(1)}_n$ is only $\epsilon^{-1}$ since \begin{equation} {1 \over \epsilon^2} \left( \sum_{i<j}^n s_{ij} \right)={1 \over \epsilon^2} \times 0 \end{equation} by momentum conservation and the leading singularity is then \begin{equation} {1 \over \epsilon} \times \left( \sum_{i<j}^n s_{ij}\ln(-s_{ij}/\mu^2 ) \right) \times M_n^{(1)} \,. \end{equation} The amplitude also has finite logarithmic terms. In our four dimensional formulation these arise in two-particle cuts and have the form of one-loop bubble integral functions, \begin{equation} \;G^{(2)}_n =\sum_{i < j}^{n} c_{ij} \frac{1}{\epsilon} \left(\frac{\mu^2}{-s_{ij}}\right)^{\epsilon}\,. \end{equation} where $c_{ij}$ are rational functions of $\lambda_k$ and $\bar\lambda_k$.\footnote{As usual, a null momentum is represented as a pair of two component spinors $p^\mu =\sigma^\mu_{\alpha\dot\alpha} \lambda^{\alpha}\bar\lambda^{\dot\alpha}$. For real momenta $\lambda=\pm\bar\lambda^*$ but for complex momenta $\lambda$ and $\bar\lambda$ are independent~\cite{Witten:2003nn}. We are using a spinor helicity formalism with the usual spinor products $\spa{a}.{b}=\epsilon_{\alpha\beta} \lambda_a^\alpha \lambda_b^{\beta}$ and $\spb{a}.{b}=-\epsilon_{\dot\alpha\dot\beta} \bar\lambda_a^{\dot\alpha} \bar\lambda_b^{\dot\beta}$. } The all-plus two-loop amplitude in QCD does not contain this term~\cite{Catani:1998bh}. This give rise to $\epsilon^{-1}$ and $\ln(\mu^2)$ terms in the combination \begin{equation} \left( \sum_{i<j} c_{ij} \right) \times \left( {1\over \epsilon}+\ln(\mu^2) \right). \end{equation} There may be other sources of $\epsilon^{-1}$ terms not directly determined by unitarity. The function $F^{(2)}_{n}$ contains the remaining polylogarithms of the amplitude and $R^{(2)}_{n}$ contains the remaining rational terms. In dimensional regularisation the internal momenta lie in $D=4-2\epsilon$ and it is really $D$-dimensional unitarity which should be used to reconstruct the amplitude. Consequently, four dimensional unitarity is not sensitive to the rational terms, however it does give considerable simplification. The rational terms may be computed by complementary methods such as recursion. For the case of QCD, the rational terms for $n=5,6$ were computed by recursion starting from the four point amplitude. We will not compute $R^{(2)}_5$ here: it not being necessary for our analysis and $R^{(2)}_4$ not being available. The all-plus two-loop amplitude is a particularly simple amplitude. The all-plus helicity tree amplitude vanishes, \begin{equation} M^{(0)}_n(1^+,2^+,\cdots ,n^+) = 0 \end{equation} This can be seen as a consequence of supersymmetric Ward identities~\cite{SWI}. These imply that this amplitude vanishes to all orders in perturbation theory in supersymmetric theories. Since the $n$-graviton amplitudes for pure gravity coincide with those for supersymmetric theories at tree level then the gravity tree amplitude also vanishes. The one-loop four-point amplitude for pure gravity is~\cite{Dunbar:1994bn}\footnote{We use for four point kinematics $s \equiv s_{12}$, $t\equiv s_{14}$ and $u\equiv s_{13}$.} \begin{equation} M_4^{(1)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+)= - \left( {s t \over \spa1.2\spa2.3\spa3.4\spa4.1 } \right)^2 { (s^2+t^2+u^2) \over 120 } +O(\epsilon) \end{equation} and the $n$-point amplitude can be expressed as~\cite{Bern:1998sv} \begin{align} M_n^{(1)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,\cdots ,n^+)= \frac{(-1)^n}{960} \sum_{a,b,M,N} h(a,M,b)h(b,N,a) \tr^3(aMbN) +O(\epsilon) \end{align} where $h(a,M,b)$ are the ``half-soft'' functions of ref.~\cite{Bern:1998sv}. The summation is over pairs of legs $(a,b)$ and partitions $(M,N)$ of the remaining legs where both the sets $M$ and $N$ have at least one element. The half-soft functions we need for the five-point amplitude are \begin{equation} h(a,\{c\},b)={ 1\over \spa{a}.c^2 \spa{c}.b^2} \; , \;\;\; h(a,\{c,d\},b)={ 1\over \spa{a}.c\spa{a}.d} {\spb{c}.{d} \over \spa{c}.{d} }{1\over \spa{c}.b\spa{d}.b} \; . \end{equation} When coupled minimally to additional bosons and fermions these amplitudes are multiplied by a factor $(N_B-N_F)/2$ where $N_{B/F}$ is the total number of bosonic/fermionic degrees of freedom. A key feature of the one-loop amplitudes is that they are, to order $\epsilon^0$, rational functions and as such have no cuts in four dimensions. Thus if computing amplitudes using cuts in four dimensions they are indivisible and can be treated as a vertex. The only four dimensional cuts of the $n$-point all-plus amplitude are shown in fig.~\ref{fig:oneloopstyle}. For this helicity amplitude the only tree amplitudes necessary to compute the cuts are the three point amplitudes and the Maximally-Helicity-Violating (MHV) tree amplitudes~\cite{Berends:1988zp}. \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics{fig1.eps} \caption{Four dimensional cuts of the two-loop all-plus amplitude involving an all-plus one-loop vertex (indicated by $\bullet\;$ )} \label{fig:oneloopstyle} \end{figure} The four-dimensional calculation gives the coefficient of $I_n^{(1)}$ to be $M_n^{(1)}$ to leading order in $\epsilon$. As in the QCD case, we promote this to the all-$\epsilon$ form. The all-plus one-loop amplitudes in eq.~(\ref{eq:definitionremainder}) for four and five-points are known to all orders in $\epsilon$~\cite{Bern:1996ja,Bern:1998sv} \def\mu_0{\mu_0} \begin{align} M_4^{(1)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+)&=2 { \spb1.2^2\spb3.4^2\over \spa1.2^2\spa3.4^2} \left( I_4^{1234}[\mu_0^8]+I_4^{1243}[\mu_0^8]+I_4^{1423}[\mu_0^8] \right) \notag \\ M_5^{(1)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+,5^+)&=\beta_{123(45)} I_4^{123(45)}[\mu_0^8] -2{ \spb1.2\spb2.3\spb3.4\spb4.5\spb5.1\over\spa1.2\spa2.3\spa3.4\spa4.5\spa5.1} I_5^{12345}[\mu_0^{10}]+{\rm Perms} \end{align} where \begin{equation} \beta_{123(45)}=-\spb1.2^2\spb2.3^2 h(1,\{4,5\},3) \end{equation} and $I_n[\mu_0^{2m}]$ are the $n$-point integral functions with $\mu_0^{2m}$ inserted where $\mu_0$ are the $-2\epsilon$ coordinates in dimensional regularisation, $\int d^Dx=\int d^4x d^{-2\epsilon} \mu_0$. The superscripts denote the ordering and clustering of the external legs. These are related to scalar integrals in higher dimensions~\cite{Bern:1995db,Bern:1996ja}, \begin{equation} I_m[\mu_0^{2r}]=-\epsilon(1-\epsilon)\cdots (r-1-\epsilon)(4\pi)^r I_m^{D=4+2r-2\epsilon} \; . \end{equation} \section{The Four-Point All-Plus Helicity Amplitude} The four point all-plus helicity amplitude has some significant simplifications. Specifically, the quadruple cuts vanish\footnote{In computing the quadruple cuts for a four-point amplitude the only non-vanishing product of cut amplitudes has alternating $MHV$ and $\overline{MHV}$ three-point vertices at the corners. This precludes any box functions for the four-point all-plus amplitude.} and there are only one-mass triangle and bubble contributions. In fact this amplitude is sufficiently simple that using the one loop amplitude as a vertex both the triangle and bubble functions can be obtained simply from the two-particle cuts~\cite{Dunbar:1994bn} with the result, \begin{align} M^{(2)}_4(1^+,&2^+,3^+,4^+) =M^{(1)}_4(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+)\times \biggl( { 2(-s)^{1-\epsilon}+2(-t)^{1-\epsilon}+2(-u)^{1-\epsilon} \over \epsilon^2 } \notag \\ &-{2s(3u^2+3t^2-2s^2) \over (s^2+t^2+u^2)}{ (-s/\mu^2)^{-\epsilon} \over \epsilon } -{2t(3s^2+3u^2-2t^2) \over (s^2+t^2+u^2)}{ (-t/\mu^2)^{-\epsilon} \over \epsilon } \notag \\ &-{2u(3t^2+3s^2-2u^2) \over (s^2+t^2+u^2)}{ (-u/\mu^2)^{-\epsilon} \over \epsilon } +\hbox{\rm rational terms} \biggr) \,. \end{align} This expression contains $\epsilon^{-1}$ and the $\ln(\mu^2)$ terms in the combination, \begin{align} & M^{(1)}_4(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+)\times { 30 stu \over (s^2+t^2+u^2) } \times \left( \frac{1}{\epsilon}+\ln(\mu^2) \right) \notag \\ =&- { 1 \over 4 } \left( {s t \over \spa1.2\spa2.3\spa3.4\spa4.1 } \right)^2 \times { stu } \times \left( \frac{1}{\epsilon}+\ln(\mu^2) \right)\,. \label{eq:fourpoint} \end{align} If gravity is coupled to matter with $N_B-2$ additional bosonic degrees of freedom and $N_F$ fermionic degrees of freedom, the one-loop all-plus amplitude is multiplied by a factor of $(N_B-N_F)/2$ and the calculation follows through as above. The all-plus amplitude in this theory is thus the expression above with the replacement \begin{equation} -\frac{1}{4} \longrightarrow -{ N_B-N_F \over 8} \end{equation} which matches the result of \cite{Bern:2015xsa}. Consequently, we note that four dimensional unitarity gives the correct ${\it renormalised}$ amplitude up to rational terms although, as was known in ref~\cite{Dunbar:1994bn}, the coefficient of $\epsilon^{-1}$ does not match the field theory calculation. \section{The Five Point All-Plus Amplitude} This amplitude contains functions, particularly dilogarithms, that are not present in the four-point amplitude. These are contained in the box contributions shown in fig.~(\ref{fig:oneloopbox}). The box contribution is readily evaluated using a quadruple cut~\cite{BrittoUnitarity}. \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics{fig2.eps} \caption{The labelling and internal helicities of the quadruple cut.} \label{fig:oneloopbox} \end{figure} With the labelling of \figref{fig:oneloopbox} the cut momenta are \begin{align} \ell_1={\spa{c}.d\over\spa{e}.c} \bar\lambda_d \lambda_e \,\, &,\,\, \ell_2={\langle c\|P_{de}\|\over\spa{e}.c} \lambda_e \,\, ,\,\, \ell_3={\langle e\|P_{cd}\|\over\spa{e}.c} \lambda_c \,\, ,\,\, \ell_4={\spa{e}.d\over\spa{e}.c} \bar\lambda_d \lambda_c \,\, ,\,\, \end{align} giving the coefficient of the box functio \begin{align} {\cal C}_{ \{a,b\}, c,d,e }=& \frac{1}{2} M_4^{(1)} (a^+,b^+,\ell_3^+,-\ell_2^+) \times M_3^{(0)}( -l_3^-, c^+ ,l_4^+ ) \times M_3^{(0)}(-l_4^-, d^+, l_1^-) \times M_3^{(0)}(-l_1^+, e^+, l_2^-) \notag \\ =&{1\over 240} \left( { \spb{a}.{b}^6 \spb{c}.d^2 \spb{e}.d^2 \over \spa{e}.c^4 } \right) \left( {\spa{a}.{b}^2 \spa{e}.c^2 } + { \spa{a}.e^2\spa{b}.c^2 } + { \spa{a}.c^2\spa{b}.e^2 } \right) \end{align} This is the coefficient of the integral function $I_4^{\rm 1m}(s_{cd},s_{de},s_{ab})$ where~\cite{Bern:1993kr} \defr_{\Gamma}{r_{\Gamma}} \def\epsilon{\epsilon} \def{\rm Li}{{\rm Li}} \def(\mu^{2\epsilon}){(\mu^{2\epsilon})} \begin{align} I^{\rm 1m}_4(S,T,M^2) =& -{2 \over S T } \Biggl[-{(\mu^{2\epsilon})\over\epsilon^2} \Bigl[ (-S)^{-\epsilon} + (-T)^{-\epsilon} - (-M^2)^{-\epsilon} \Bigr] \cr \notag \\ + &{\rm Li}_2\left(1-{ M^2 \over S }\right) + \ {\rm Li}_2\left(1-{M^2 \over T}\right) +{1\over 2} \ln^2\left({ S \over T}\right) +\ {\pi^2\over6} \Biggr] +{\cal O}(\epsilon) \end{align} and overall factors have been removed according to the normalisation of eq.~(\ref{eq:fullampdefinition}). This integral function splits into singular terms plus a remainder $I_4^{\rm 1m}=I_4^{\rm 1m:IR}+I_4^{\rm 1m:F}$ where \begin{equation} I_4^{\rm 1m:IR}(S,T,M^2) \equiv -{2\over S T } \Biggl[-{(\mu^{2\epsilon}) \over\epsilon^2} \Bigl[ (-S)^{-\epsilon} + (-T)^{-\epsilon} - (-M^2)^{-\epsilon} \Bigr] \Biggr] \; . \end{equation} The one-mass integral function is\begin{align} I_{3}^{1\rm m}(K^2) = { (\mu^{2\epsilon}) \over\epsilon^2} (-K^2)^{-1-\epsilon}. \end{align} and the two-mass triangle function is, \begin{align} I_{3}^{2 \rm m}\bigl(K_1^2,K_2^2\bigr)= {(\mu^{2\epsilon}) \over\epsilon^2} {(-K_1^2)^{-\epsilon}-(-K_2^2)^{-\epsilon} \over (-K_1^2)-(-K_2^2) }\ . \end{align} The boxes, one-mass and two-mass triangles all have IR infinite terms of the form \begin{equation} {(\mu^{2\epsilon}) \over\epsilon^2}(-K^2)^{-\epsilon} \end{equation} The coefficients of the triangle contributions can be evaluated using triple cuts~\cite{Bidder:2005ri,Darren,BjerrumBohr:2007vu,Mastrolia:2006ki} and a canonical basis~\cite{Dunbar:2009ax}. Summation over the box and triangle contributions gives an overall coefficient of $M^{(1),\epsilon^0}_5(a^+,b^+,c^+,d^+,e^+)$, i.e \begin{align} & \left( \sum {\cal C}_{\{a,b\},c,d,e} I_4^{1\rm m} +\sum {\cal C}_{\{a,b,c\},d,e} I_{3}^{1\rm m} +\sum {\cal C}_{\{a,b\},c,\{d,e\} } I_{3}^{2 \rm m} \right)_{IR} \notag \\ = & M^{(1),\epsilon^0}_5(a^+,b^+,c^+,d^+,e^+) \times \sum_{i < j}^{n} -\frac{1}{\epsilon^2} s_{ij} \left(\frac{\mu^2}{-s_{ij}}\right)^{\epsilon} \label{eq:sumofIR} \end{align} where $M^{(1),\epsilon^0}_5(a^+,b^+,c^+,d^+,e^+)$ is the order $\epsilon^0$ truncation of the one-loop amplitude. A key step is to promote the coefficient of these terms to the all-$\epsilon$ form of the one-loop amplitude which then gives the correct singular structure of the amplitude. We have confirmed relationship~(\ref{eq:sumofIR}) for the $n$-point amplitude by computing the triple and quadruple cuts at specific kinematic points up to $n=10$. Consequently, we can obtain the compact explicit analytic form for the dilogarithmic remainder part of the amplitude \begin{align} F_5^{(2)}= {1\over 240} \sum_{P_{30}} \left( { \spb{a}.{b}^6 \spb{c}.d^2 \spb{e}.d^2 \over \spa{e}.c^4 } \right) \biggl( {\spa{a}.{b}^2 \spa{e}.c^2 } + { \spa{a}.e^2\spa{b}.c^2 } + { \spa{a}.c^2\spa{b}.e^2 } \biggr) \notag \\ \times \Biggl( -{2 \over s_{cd} s_{de} } \Biggr) \Biggl[ {\rm Li}_2\left(1-{ s_{ab} \over s_{cd} }\right) + {\rm Li}_2\left(1-{s_{ab} \over s_{de} }\right) +{1\over 2} \ln^2\left( { s_{cd} \over s_{de} }\right) + {\pi^2\over6} \Biggr] \; , \label{eq:cc} \end{align} where the permutation sum is over the 30 independent permutations of the legs $(\{a,b\},c,d,e)$ after factoring out for the symmetries $(\{a,b\},c,d,e)\equiv (\{b,a\},c,d,e)\equiv (\{a,b\},e,d,c)$. Note that the coefficients in the $F_5^{(2)}$ term contain $\spa{e}.c^{-4}$ singularities. On this singularity the integral function vanishes and $F_5^{(2)}$ has $\spa{e}.c^{-3}$ singularities. These are spurious and not present in the full amplitude. They cancel against the $G_5^{(2)}$ terms as we will discuss at the end of the next section. \section{Coefficient of $\ln(s/\mu^2)$ } We determine the presence of the $\ln(s_{ab}/\mu^2)$ functions using two-particle cuts. The coefficient has two contributions as shown in fig.\ref{fig:fivepointbubbles}. \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics{fig3.eps} \caption{Contributions to the two-loop amplitudes involving an all-plus loop (indicated by $\bullet$)} \label{fig:fivepointbubbles} \end{figure} We determine these using canonical forms. The canonical basis approach~\cite{Dunbar:2009ax} is a systematic method to determine the coefficients of triangle and bubble integral functions in a one-loop amplitude from the three and two-particle cuts. \noindent{A} two particle cut is of the form \begin{equation} C_{2} \equiv i \int d^4 \ell_1 \delta( \ell_1^2)\delta(\ell_2^2) A^{\rm tree}_1(-\ell_1, a, \cdots, b, \ell_2) \times A^{\rm tree}_2(-\ell_2,\cdots, \ell_1)\,. \end{equation} The product of tree amplitudes appearing in the two-particle cut can be decomposed in terms of canonical forms ${\cal H}_i$, \begin{equation} A^{\rm tree}_1(-\ell_1, \cdots, \ell_2) \times A^{\rm tree}_2(-\ell_2,\cdots, \ell_1) = \sum e_i {\cal H}_i (\rho_k, {\ell_j}), \end{equation} where the $e_i$ are coefficients independent of $\ell_j$. We then use substitution rules to replace the ${\cal H}_i (\rho_k, {\ell_j})$ by rational functions $H_i[\rho_k,P ]$ to obtain the coefficient of the bubble integral function as \begin{equation} \sum_i e_i H_i[ \rho_k , P] \,. \end{equation} Here we use this technique treating the one-loop all-plus vertex as a tree amplitude. The canonical forms we need and their substitutions are \defB{B} \defA{A} \defC{C} \defb{b} \defa{a} \defc{c} \defP{P} \begin{align} {\cal H}^0_{1,1} (A,C ; a,c , \ell_1,\ell_2 ) & \equiv {\langle a \ell_1 \rangle \over \langle A \ell_1 \rangle} {\langle c \ell_2 \rangle \over \langle C \ell_2\rangle } \longrightarrow {H}^0_{1,1} [A,C ; a,c; P ]= {\spa{C}.c [C\|P\|a\rangle \over \spa{C}.{A} [C\|P\|C\rangle } + {\spa{A}.c [A\|P\|a\rangle \over \spa{A}.{C} [A\|P\|A\rangle } \notag \\ {\cal H}_{2x}^0 ( A; B_1 ; C_1; \ell_1,\ell_2 )& \equiv{\spa{B_1}.{\ell_1}\spa{C_1}.{\ell_2}\over \spa{A}.{\ell_1}\spa{A}.{\ell_2} } \longrightarrow { H}_{2x}^0 [ A; B_1 ; C_1 ; P ]= { [A\|P\|B_1\rangle [A\|P\|C_1\rangle\over [A\|P\|A\rangle^2 }. \label{eq:canonicalforms} \end{align} where $P$ is the cut-momentum $P=k_a+\cdots k_b$. We take the product of amplitudes in the cut and split them into a sum of terms of type in eqn.(\ref{eq:canonicalforms}) using partial fractioning \begin{equation} { \prod_{j=1}^{n-1} \spa{\ell}.{X_j} \over \prod_{i=1}^n \spa{\ell}.{Y_i} }= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( \prod_{j=1}^{n-1} \spa{Y_i}.{X_j} \over \prod_{l\neq i} \spa{Y_l}.{Y_{i} } \right) \times { 1 \over \spa{\ell}.{Y_i} } = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_i { 1\over \spa{\ell}.{Y_i} } \end{equation} For the five-point amplitude the cuts have $P=k_a+k_b$. Working specifically with $s_{ab}=s_{45}$, the two-particle cut has two contributions \begin{align} A:& M_5^{(0)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,l_2^-,l_1^-) \times M_4^{(1)}(4^+,5^+,l_1^+,l_2^+) \notag \\ B:& M_5^{(1)}(1^+,2^+,3^+,l_2^+,l_1^+) \times M_4^{(0)}(4^+,5^+,l_1^-,l_2^-) \end{align} From the term A we obtain a contribution to the coefficient of \begin{align} C^A_{45}=\sum_{r=1,2} c_r \sum_{i=1}^3\sum_{j=1,j\neq i}^2 \alpha^r_{i}\beta^r_j H^0_{1,1}[ A_i^r,a_j^r; B_3^r,b_3^r; P] +\sum_{r=1,2} c_r \sum_{i=1}^2 \alpha^r_{i}\beta^r_i H^0_{2x}[ A_i^r; B_3^r,b_3^r; P] \end{align} with \begin{align} \alpha^r_i = { \prod_{l=1}^2 \spa{B_l^r}.{A_i^r} \over \prod_{l\neq i} \spa{A_l^r}.{A_i^r} } \;\;\; \beta^r_i = { \spa{b_1^r}.{a_i^r} \over \prod_{l\neq i} \spa{a_l^r}.{a_i^r} } \end{align} where \begin{equation} c_1 =-{ \spb4.5^6 \spb2.3 \over 120 \spa2.3\spa1.3 } \;\;\; c_2={ \spb4.5^6 \spb1.2 \over 120 \spa1.2\spa1.3 } \end{equation} and \begin{align} &\{ \|A_i^1\rangle \} =\{ \|1\rangle , \|2\rangle , \|3\rangle \} ,\{ \|A_i^2\rangle \} =\{ \|2\rangle , \|3\rangle , \|1\rangle \} \notag \\ &\{ \|a_i^1\rangle \} =\{ \|1\rangle , \|2\rangle \} \; , \; \{ a_i^2 \}=\{ \|2\rangle , \|3\rangle \} \notag \\ &\{ \|B_i^1\rangle \} = \{ \|5\rangle , \|5\rangle , -K_{45}\|1] \} \;\; \{ \|B_i^2\rangle \} = \{ \|5\rangle , \|5\rangle , -K_{45}\|3] \} \notag \\ &\{ \|b_i^1\rangle \} = \{ \|b_i^2 \} = \{ \|4\rangle , \|4\rangle \} \end{align} Contributions from the second configuration are more complicated, but using relationships between the different terms to simplify the final expression we obtain \begin{equation} C^B_{45}= T^B_{1,2,3,4,5}+T^B_{2,1,3,4,5}+T^B_{3,2,1,4,5} \end{equation} with \begin{align} T^B_{1,2,3,4,5}= { \spb2.3 \spb4.5 \over 120 \spa2.3 \spa4.5 } \left( \sum_{i=2}^5 \sum_{j=2,j \neq i }^5 \alpha_i \beta_j H_{1,1}^0[i,j; A_4,B_4,\{4,5\}] +\sum_{i=2}^5 \alpha_i \beta_i H_{2x}^0[i ; A_4,B_4,\{4,5\}] \right) \end{align} where \begin{align} \alpha_i = {\prod_{k=1}^3 \spa{i}.{A_k} \over \prod_{l\in \{2,3,4,5\}-\{i\}} \spa{i}.{l} } \;\;\; \beta_j = {\prod_{k=1}^3 \spa{j}.{B_k} \over \prod_{l\in \{2,3,4,5\}-\{j\} } \spa{j}.{l} } \end{align} and \begin{align} \{ \|A_k\rangle \} = \{ \|B_k\rangle \} =\{ \|1\rangle , K\|1] , K\|1] , K\|1] \} \end{align} Thus the amplitude contains \begin{equation} (C^A_{45}+C^B_{45}) \left( {1 \over \epsilon} -\ln( s_{45}/\mu^2 ) \right) \end{equation} The full amplitude thus has $\epsilon^{-1}$ and $\ln(\mu^2)$ terms of \begin{equation} \sum_{i<j} ( C^A_{ij}+C_{ij}^B ) \ln(s_{ij}) + \sum_{i<j} ( C^A_{ij}+C_{ij}^B ) \left( \frac{1}{\epsilon}+\ln(\mu^2 ) \right) \label{eq:fivepointinfinity} \end{equation} We have determined the above expression using four-dimensional unitarity which isolates the coefficient of $\ln(s_{ij})$. The value of $\ln(\mu^2)$ then follows. The coefficient of $\epsilon^{-1}$ in this is tied to the $\ln(\mu^2)$ but is, presumably, not the value which would be obtained from a field theory calculation. The bubble coefficients contain spurious $\spa{e}.c^{-3}$ singularities which must cancel~\cite{Dunbar:2011xw} against the singularities in the $F_5^{(2)}$ term. Specifically the singularities are of the form \begin{equation} { 1 \over \spa{e}.c^{3} } \times \left\{ \ln( s_{ab} ), \ln( s_{dc}) , \ln (s_{ed}) +\hbox{\rm permutations} \right\} \end{equation} where the permutations are of of $a,b,d$. The $F_5^{(2)}$ term contains dilogarithms but near the point $\spa{e}.c=0$ these simplify and \begin{equation} F_5^{(2)} = { 1\over \spa{e}.c^4 } \biggl( 0 + s_{ec} \left\{ \ln( s_{ab} ), \ln( s_{dc}) , \ln (s_{ed}) +\hbox{\rm permutations} \right\} +{\cal O} (s_{ec}^2 ) \biggr) \end{equation} We have explicitly checked that within $F_5^{(2)}+G_5^{(2)}$ both the $\spa{e}.c^{-3}$ {\it and } $\spa{e}.c^{-2}$ singularities cancel, leaving the full amplitude free of spurious singularities: this is a strong consistency check. We have also checked the collinear limit of the five-point amplitude. \section{Counterterm Lagrangian} In this section we enumerate the possible independent counterterms for pure gravity in four dimensions. In general, graviton scattering amplitudes, in $D$ dimensions at $L$ loops, require the introduction of counterterms of the form \begin{equation} \nabla^n R^m \end{equation} where $n+2m = (D-2)L+2$ and we have suppressed the indices on $R$. $R$ may stand either for the Riemann tensor, $R_{abcd}$, the Ricci tensor $R_{ab}\equiv g^{cd}R_{acbd}$ or the curvature scalar $R \equiv g^{ab}R_{ab}$. Although, there are a large number of tensor structures which may appear, fortunately, the symmetries of the Riemann tensor reduce these considerably. Firstly, there are the basic symmetries of $R_{abcd}$ \begin{equation} R_{abcd}=-R_{bacd}=-R_{abdc}=R_{cdab} \end{equation} and the cyclic symmetry, \begin{equation} R_{abcd}+R_{acdb}+R_{adbc}=0 \end{equation} Secondly, we have the Bianchi identity for $\nabla_e R_{abcd}$, \begin{equation} \nabla_e R_{abcd} +\nabla_c R_{abde} +\nabla_d R_{abec} =0 \end{equation} There are also ``derivative identities'' which involve two covariant derivatives, \begin{align} \nabla_{e}\nabla_{f} R_{abcd} -\nabla_{f}\nabla_{e} R_{abcd} &= R^g{}_{aef} \, R_{gbcd} + R^g{}_{bef} \, R_{agcd} + R^g{}_{cef} \, R_{abgd} + R^g{}_{def} \, R_{abcg} \cr \nabla^2 R_{abcd} & = 2 \, R^{f}_{\ a c e} \, R^{e}_{\ d b f} - 2 \, R^{f}_{\ b c e} \, R^{e}_{\ d a f} - R^{e}_{\ d a b} \, R_{c e} + R^{e}_{\ c a b} \, R_{d e} \cr & \hskip 1cm + \nabla_{c} \nabla_{a} R_{b d} - \nabla_{c} \nabla_{b} R_{a d} - \nabla_{d} \nabla_{a} R_{b c} + \nabla_{d} \nabla_{b} R_{a c} \label{DerivativeSymmetry} \end{align} \noindent These symmetries will be used to determine the minimal set of inequivalent counterterms. From power counting the possible two-loop counterterms in $D=4$ are of the form $R^3$ or $\nabla^2 R^2$. The independent terms involving $R_{abcd}$, $R_{ab}$ and $R$ are \cite{R3D4,Fulling:1992vm}, \begin{align} T_1&=\nabla_{a} R \nabla^{a} R & T_2=&\nabla_{a} R_{bc} \nabla^{a} R^{bc} \cr T_3&=\nabla_{e} R_{abcd} \nabla^{e} R^{abcd} & T_4=&\nabla_{c} R_{ab} \nabla^{b} R^{ac} \cr T_5&= R^3 & T_6=& R R_{ab} R^{ab} \cr T_7&= R R_{abcd} R^{abcd} & T_8= &R_{abcd} R^{abce} R^{d}_{\ e} \cr T_9&= R_{abcd} R^{ac} R^{bd} & T_{10}= & R_{a}{}^b R_b{}^cR_c{}^a \cr T_{11} &= R^{ab}{}_{cd}R^{cd}{}_{ef}R^{ef}{}_{ab} \;\;\; & T_{12}= & R_{abcd}R^{a}{}_e{}^c{}_f R^{bedf} \end{align} For the case of pure gravity, the counterterm structure can be represented as a single counterterm with a numerical coefficient. We review the argument leading to the conclusion that a single counterterm is sufficient. (When matter is coupled to gravity this is no longer the case.) For pure gravity the equation of motion is \begin{equation} R_{ab}=0 \end{equation} Hence terms involving the Ricci tensor or curvature scalar will not contribute to the $S$-matrix and such terms can be discarded when calculating the counterterms. (If calculating an off-shell object, such counterterms can, and do, appear.) Ignoring such terms leaves us with three tensors - $T_3$, $T_{11}$ and $T_{12}$. The term $T_3$ \begin{equation} T_3=\nabla_e R_{abcd} \nabla^e R^{abcd} \equiv- R_{abcd} \nabla^2 R^{abcd} \end{equation} can be rearranged using the identity in eq.~(\ref{DerivativeSymmetry}) into terms involving the Ricci tensor plus cubic terms in the Riemann tensor. Thus for pure gravity this term is equivalent to a combination of $T_{11}$ and $T_{12}$ and can be eliminated from the list of inequivalent counterterms. Finally, in six dimensions the scalar topological density can be written \begin{equation} \delta^{\ a \, b \, c d e f}_{[mnpqrs]} R^{mn}{}_{ab} R^{pq}{}_{cd}R^{rs}{}_{ef} \end{equation} which implies that the combination \begin{equation} \sum_{i=5}^{12} a_i T_i \equiv 0 \end{equation} is topological for some coefficients $a_i$ in dimensions $D\leq 6$. Hence for pure gravity amplitudes we can replace $T_{12}$ with $T_{11}$ (or vice versa). Thus we are led to the fact that the counterterm can be taken as a single tensor with a coefficient. Thus the counterterm can be chosen to be \begin{equation} { C_{R^3} \over 60} \times ({\kappa \over 2})^2{1 \over (4\pi)^4 } \int d^4 x \sqrt{-g} \; R^{ab}{}_{cd} R^{cd}_{ef} R^{ef}{}_{ab} \end{equation} with the free coefficient $C_{R^3}$. Computing with this Lagrangian, the parts of the four-point amplitudes proportional to $C_{R^3}$ are~\cite{Dunbar:2002jx} \begin{align} {\cal M}^{R^3}_4(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+) &= C_{R^3} \times \left( {\kappa \over 2}\right)^6 \times { 1 \over (4\pi)^4} \left( { s t \over \spa1.2\spa2.3\spa3.4\spa4.1 } \right)^2 { stu } \notag \\ {\cal M}^{R^3}_4(1^-,2^+,3^+,4^+) &= C_{R^3} \times \left( {\kappa \over 2}\right)^6 \times { 1 \over (4\pi)^4} \left( { \spb2.4^2 s^2 t \over \spb1.2\spa2.3\spa3.4\spb4.1 } \right)^2 { t \over 10 s u } \notag \\ {\cal M}^{R^3}_4(1^-,2^-,3^+,4^+) &= C_{R^3} \times 0 \end{align} Comparing this to the coefficient of $\ln(\mu^2)$ in eqn.~(\ref{eq:fourpoint}) we find \begin{equation} C_{R^3}= -\frac{1}{4} \end{equation} We also require the five point amplitude computed using the above Lagrangian. Perturbative gravity calculations based upon Feynman diagrams are notoriously difficult, however we can compute the higher point functions using recursion. The original BCFW shift~\cite{Britto:2005fq}, \begin{equation} \lambda_i \longrightarrow \lambda_i+z\lambda_j \;\;, \; \bar\lambda_j \longrightarrow \bar\lambda_j -z\bar\lambda_i \;\; \label{eq:BCFshift} \end{equation} does not lead to an expression with the correct symmetry, however the shift~\cite{Risager:2005vk,BjerrumBohr:2005jr} \begin{align} \lambda_a\to &\lambda_{\hat a} = \lambda_a +z\spb{b}.c \lambda_\eta \,, \notag \\ \lambda_b\to &\lambda_{\hat b} = \lambda_b +z\spb{c}.a \lambda_\eta \,, \notag \\ \lambda_c\to &\lambda_{\hat c} = \lambda_c +z\spb{a}.b \lambda_\eta \,, \label{KasperShift} \end{align} where $\lambda_\eta$ is an arbitrary spinor does. Using this shift we can obtain an expression for the five-point amplitude. The amplitude has two factorisations, \begin{align} M_3^{\text{tree}}( \hat a^+, d^+, K^-) &\times {1\over K^2} \times M_4^{R^3}( \hat b^+ , \hat c^+ , d^+ , -K^+) \;\;\; \notag \\ M_3^{\text{tree}}( \hat b^+, \hat c^+, K^-) &\times {1\over K^2} \times M_4^{R^3}( \hat a^+ , d^+, e^+ , -K^+) \end{align} with six terms of the first type and three of the second. With $(a,b,c,d,e)=(1,2,3,4,5)$ we find that the first term gives \begin{align} T^A_{1,2,3,4,5}=N_4 { \spb1.4 \over \spa1.4 } { \spb5.3 \spb5.2 \over \spa1.{\eta}^2\spa4.{\eta} }{ \spb2.3^2 \over \spa4.5 }\times [5\|K_{14}\|\eta\rangle [2\|K_{14}\|\eta \rangle [3\|K_{14}\|\eta \rangle \end{align} which is symmetric under $2\leftrightarrow 3$. The second is \begin{align} T^B_{1,2,3,4,5}=-N_4 { \spb1.4 \spb1.5 \spb2.3 [1\|K_{23}\|\eta\rangle^2 [5\|K_{23}\|\eta\rangle [4\|K_{23}\|\eta\rangle \over \spa2.3 \spa2.\eta^2\spa3.\eta^2 } { \spb4.5 \over \spa4.5 } \end{align} which is symmetric under $2\leftrightarrow 3$ and $4\leftrightarrow 5$. The normalisation is \begin{equation} N_4= \left( {\kappa \over 2}\right)^6 \times { 1 \over (4\pi)^4} \times C_{R^3} \end{equation} The resultant contribution to the amplitude is \begin{equation} {\cal M}^{R^3}_5(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+,5^+) = N_4 \left( \sum_{P_6} T^A_{1,2,3,4,5}+\sum_{P_3} T^B_{1,2,3,4,5} \right) \label{eq:rcubedfivepoint}\end{equation} where the summation is over the six independent $T^A$ and the three independent $T^B$. \noindent The expression for ${\cal M}^{R^3}_5(1^+,2^+,3^+,4^+,5^+)$ is $\bullet$ Fully crossing symmetric between external legs $\bullet$ Independent of the spinor $\eta$ \noindent These are strong indicators that we have computed the correct expression. We have checked this construction for the $n$-point all-plus amplitude up to $n=8$. \noindent Additionally $\bullet$ As $z \longrightarrow \infty$ for the BCFW shift the amplitude does not vanish but behaves as $z^{2}$. This is the reason why the shift (\ref{eq:BCFshift}) does not generate this amplitude. $\bullet$ The expression has soft limits with \begin{equation} {\cal M}_5^{R^3} =( {1\over t^3} S^{(0)} +{1\over t^2} S^{(1)} +{1\over t } S^{(2)} ) {\cal M}^{R^3}_{4} +O(t^0) \end{equation} where $S^{(i)}$ are the leading, sub-leading and sub-sub-leading soft operators~\cite{SoftTheorems}. As a two-loop amplitude, there is a possibility that the sub-sub-leading would not satisfy this so we regard this as a feature of the constructed amplitudes rather than as a necessary constraint. Comparing expression (\ref{eq:rcubedfivepoint}) with (\ref{eq:fivepointinfinity}) we find \begin{equation} \left( \sum_{P_6} T^A_{1,2,3,4,5}+\sum_{P_3} T^B_{1,2,3,4,5} \right) =-4\times \sum_{i<j} ( C^A_{ij}+C_{ij}^B ) \end{equation} and we therefore obtain $C_{R^3}=-1/4$. The counterterm is thus consistent with that required for the four point amplitude. \section{Conclusion} Computing quantum gravity amplitudes is notoriously difficult. Only a small number of on-shell scattering amplitudes have been computed analytically. For pure gravity only the four and five-point one-loop amplitudes have been presented for all helicity configurations with all-$n$ expressions for the all-plus and single-minus amplitudes. Progress beyond one-loop has been confined to theories which are supersymmetric where the enhanced symmetries significantly simplify the amplitudes. In this article we have shown how four dimensional cutting techniques allow us to compute large and interesting parts of two-loop pure gravity amplitudes and have obtained the (poly)logarithmic parts of the all-plus helicity amplitude for four and five-points in compact analytic forms. We also obtain the associated $\ln(\mu^2)$ terms which as argued in ref.~\cite{Bern:2015xsa} determine the non-renormalisability of the amplitudes. We have matched these to the same $R^3$ counterterm for both the four and five-point amplitude. Given that the $\ln(\mu^2)$ terms are key to renormalisability, this technique provides a straightforward method to study the UV behaviour of gravity theories. Our approach has been entirely based upon physical on-shell amplitudes and is very different from a field theory approach where the one-loop renormalisation uses ``evanescent'' operators~\cite{Bern:2015xsa}. We do not obtain the $\epsilon^{-1}$ term found there, but do reproduce the four-point {\it renormalised} amplitude and present a five-point amplitude correctly renormalised. {\it Note added} As this article was been prepared ref.~\cite{Bern:2017puu} appeared where the four-point two-loop amplitude is studied using similar techniques. \section{Acknowledgements} This work was supported by Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) grant ST/L000369/1.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaArXiv" }

Q: Datastax 4 installation on original RaspberryPi I've just begun working with Datastax/Cassandra. I've set up my home PC quite easily. I've also got an original RaspberryPi I'd like to use to set up a small cluster (I may add more Pi's later). My question is: will Datastax 4 run on an original RaspberryPi? I'm not looking for rocket ship speeds, just want to ensure I can get the cluster up and running. A: Yes it can. It would not be capable of handling very much load at all, but has been used purely for demo purposes. DataStax even has a RaspPi cluster built out as a demo in their HQ lobby- DataStax Dev blog example. Generally speaking you'll get better performance using the second gen Raspberry Pi because of the hardware/processing upgrades, but it is possible with gen 1 - just make sure your expectations are equivalent to the low level hardware on those Raspberry Pi's!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaStackExchange" }

So, I decided to collect these as well. The man's eyes grew even wider: "No, really!?" the man pulled out his own sonic screwdriver and started to scan the Doctor. "What are you doing!?" the Doctor inquired. How do you relate to a person who was someone else, or not exactly someone else, but completely different? Not only his appearance has changed, but also his character. His character has not changed on an elementary basis, but more on a detail surface. You know, the small things about a person, like what colour someone likes and if they like candy or just chocolate. He's still scattered minded, absent sometimes or just plain busy in his head. He still talks in riddles, changes direction at the last minute and he's still the genius I once knew. But he's definitely not the Doctor I once knew. And I've been told I'm experiencing him all back to front. He's cute, fair headed, tall with sparkling blue eyes and his voice squeaks when he gets a bit excited. I can get used to this other version of the Doctor. He's usually sweet tempered, but can go off like an explosion when you can't get to agree with him; usually we agree on things. He can be excited like a child about new planets, creatures or whatever he has never seen before. He's insatiably curious and encourages us to explore as well. I can get used to this version of the Doctor, but I do miss my Doctor. He was mildly offended when I referred to my Doctor. I do realize there are a few things wrong about my choice of phrasing. First of all, there's only one Doctor. Secondly, he's not mine and thirdly, it is a bit unfair to have preferences. It's still true though, his other version just seemed to match better with my own personality. He is almost all that the fair headed Doctor is; he just seems more sensible to me. He's curly headed with locks dancing just above his shoulders. He talks in a gentle voice and drawls every last word of a sentence slightly making everything sound smooth. He's usually sweet tempered, but can go off like an explosion when he senses something not belonging. He's excited about new discoveries and draws you in easily. He's curious which wets his appetite for adventure. He taught me and showed me so much. I do realize, I do know, that the same powers were at work when he drew me out of my life into his. Both times his excitement and encouragement touched me and drew me in. With both I felt instantly comfortable, I would follow him to the end of the Universe. Both have a habit, or is it a talent, of getting involved in other creatures problems. Silly, how I keep talking about him as if he's two persons. In my heart I know those two visions are one person, but my head keeps mixing things up. While watching his blond self I am happy to be back, but I do miss the brown curled one. Silly really, because he's still the Doctor, from head to toe and from back to front. He is a man of many faces, but always with the same feel in those eyes. Often blue, big and bulging, sometimes hiding and I'm not sure what colour they actually are. Or squinting brown beneath alien eyebrows. He talks a lot, sometimes letting words escape in a quiet roll. Sometimes in a rapid flow like bullets hitting target bulletproof, or eloquently and dramatic, his sarcasm easily bleeding through. And sometimes quiet, comforting, like retreating rain before a sun break. But always confident and a lot. He carries himself tall, sometimes small, but always clearly present. He pokes, he inquires, he marvels and he runs all the time. He throws tantrums over subjects I know nothing about. He skips when I follow, bounces when I ask. He goes off on lengthy rants to the smallest of questions or remarks. When he smiles the suns sparkle and the stars become many. When he fights the dark will light up to support. When he questions our ways new ways will open. When he flies away again, our hearts will carry hope. The 5th Doctor emerges from the TARDIS looking very worried at the other police box shaped TARDIS's. Then he notices a couple, a man and a girl. The man, he thinks, must be him, the girl a new companion? Anna to 8: Is he you as well? 8: Yup, 5th body, if I'm not mistaken. 8: broad grin Thanks!...frown What do you mean 'Were'? Another one with 5 & 8; They're just too cute. Eight had already arrived when Five's TARDIS materialized on Aurelia. Five took a quick look at the other TARDIS's, all together 6 were present now. Then he looked at the man standing a few metres away; the man was already looking at him. Five stepped closer looking the man up and down. He had shoulder length brown curls that framed his long face and in that face stood soft light blue eyes that smiled gently at him. He wore a dark green velvet coat and a brown patterned waistcoat under it, his grey cravat completing it. Under it he wore light crème coloured trousers and black sensible shoes. The man had looked him up and down as well and when he finished he smiled with sweet sentiment and recognition in his eyes. "Hello," the man greeted back. "Impeccable math skills, Doctor," the 8th incarnation chirped. Some of the brightness fell off the 8th's face: "I'm sorry," he said. "So there are more of me here?" the 5th incarnation continued. "Sublime observational skills, Doctor. Yes, 4 more of me…us have arrived." 8 quickly wiped the grin of his face when he noticed 5 was more annoyed than impressed with his quip.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

Learning management systems (LMSes) are changing as new learning approaches emerge. Flexibility, scalability, and usability are major considerations in selection. Evaluate vendors on SaaS technologies that are consumerlike in ease of use with the capability to handle informal as well as formal content. In determining the best LMS for your business, application development and delivery (AD&D) pros should work with human resources (HR) and make sure all line-of-business units communicate their learning needs and are involved in the final product selection.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
News Sports Features Entertainment Business Obituaries eNewspaper Legals Hunting on Maryland's Chesapeake Forest Lands may change. Here's how. DAVE CIEKOT SPECIAL TO THE SALISBURY DAILY TIMES After a recent Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service public meeting in Salisbury about proposed changes to the leasing process for hunting rights on Chesapeake Forest Lands, we now have a solid idea what the proposals are. While individual clubs that have held leases for decades certainly won't be happy, there is something for everyone in the package. The good news, and it's really good, is that a lot of land is going to be moved from the lease program into the public access part of CFL acreage. Information from the meeting detailed how tracts are chosen for public use, with good access and larger acreage parcels being considered prime for public. Small, landlocked parcels with limited access are generally kept in the hunting lease part of CFL. But over the last 20 years new pieces of property have been added and in some cases the previously isolated, smaller tracts are now connected into larger, contiguous pieces of state-owned forest land. In light of that the Forest Service is proposing that 15 tracts totaling 8,900 acres of the CFL properties will be moved into the public access program. That means they'll be open for public hunting but also for hiking, bird watching and wild berry picking. In some ways it's even a great deal for the clubs that used to lease those tracts, because now their members can still hunt them, but for free. If completed this move would keep over 44,000 acres of the more than 73,000 total CFL acres open to the public. The other part of the proposal package concerns the hunting leases and how they'll be awarded. This has always been a question mark in the 20-year history of the CFL as to how and why. Normally when a property is sold, whoever held any hunting leases is at the mercy of the new owners and those leases are almost always terminated. Yet when Maryland picked up the original 53,000 acres of the CFL there were all sorts of complicated details and many clubs got to keep leases, often for decades. With other state goods or properties, whether they be auctions of used equipment, contracts for work or even trapping rights on public marshes, there's always a fair and open process that allows everyone a chance. With the hunting leases that was never really done, at least not in practice, but now that's going to change. Under the old system only 2 percent of the leases came open for public lottery and bid each year, as existing clubs always had first rights to renew the leases. Under the new proposal, beginning in 2020, all the hunting leases will be up for open lottery, with staggered terms so that within a few years 20 percent of the lease lands will be up for grabs every year. For the current hunting clubs that have held leases for decades it's certainly a blow. But these CFL properties are all publicly owned lands and there has to be a fair and even chance for all to participate. The really smart hunting clubs took the last 20 years as the grace period it was intended and used the time to prepare for the future. The Maryland DNR Forest Service is taking public comments on the proposals online through July 19 at https://dnr.maryland.gov.

I felt honored when M. K. Tod offered me the chance to read the prelease of her latest historical fiction novel, Time and Regret. I've been following M. K. Tod's blog, A Writer of History, for several years. In the crowded blogosphere I have found hers so dependably useful that it is one of only a few blogs I read faithfully. Having never read her fiction, I began with anticipation and hope that it would meet my expectations. I was not disappointed. In Time and Regret Ms. Tod weaves parallel tales from WWI and the 1990s into a mystery, a memoir and a love story. Her writing produces a visceral experience of WWI horrors — the brutality and futility of the freezing, muddy trenches — and leads you through the protagonist's journey of love lost and love found. The work is well crafted in plot and prose, unfolding the juxtaposition of the past with the present and entwining connections from one to the other. Stuck in VA for extra days due to endless rain, I figured it was a great time to venture into my freebie. The work is right around novella size and I finished it in four evenings. The story introduces country bumpkin William Shakespeare, cousin to THE William Shakespeare. Country Will has come to London to seek his fortune and landed on famous Will's threshold penniless. Of course, he gets into immediate trouble and raucous fun ensues. I don't write starred or formal reviews, but I will say this was good entertainment: rough-and-tumble London, complete with murder mystery and forbidden romance. It is a bit bawdy, but then, so is our famous Shakespeare at times, when we high-brow readers are willing to admit it. The main character is endearing, famous Will is well fleshed-out and the romantic interest has pizazz. Mr. Falconer is setting himself up with plenty of material for future escapades. The second installment – The William Detective Agency: The Dark Lady – has also been published. I confess, I'm easy pickings for London, theatre history and Shakespeare, but I'm sure anyone looking for a few evenings of escape to into Elizabethan England will enjoy it. The author's historical notes at the end are particularly amusing. Falconer has written these as if commenting on the historicity of the story as a found document/journal and notes various anachronisms or "poor memory" by the original "author". Clever.

CON-CAN Movie Festival (CON-CAN) is an audience-interactive online international short movie festival which aims to "discover hidden creative talent from all over the world, enabling image creators and a global audience to share the underlying messages and sheer creativity expressed in profound short movie productions". Founded in 2005, the short movie festival enables users to watch short movies for free on its site. The festival's award ceremony is held annually in Tokyo, Japan. History The idea for the CON-CAN Movie Festival was founded by Masahiro Yoshino, CEO of Media Research, Inc., a Japanese company that specializes in IT consulting, translation, publishing and media arts. Media Research, Inc. launched the festival online in 2005. The name CON-CAN was first thought of in Japanese (魂観). CON(魂) is said to represent the soul and CAN(観) to represent viewers watching with "true appreciation". The first CON-CAN Movie Festival was held in 2005 with two types of awards; one, an Audience Award that is presented by viewers, and the other a "Grand Prix" award (awarded to the best short movie) and two "Tamashii" awards (special jury awards decided by the CON-CAN International Jury). A total of 151 short movies from 25 different countries were submitted. Since then, CON-CAN was reported to receive over 550 submissions from over 50 different countries in 2008. Selection process Once the submission deadline passes, the process of selecting the movies for the movie festival begins. The programming department at CON-CAN is responsible for a preliminary screening of the movies. The best 80 movies out of all the submitted movies are selected to be part of the movie festival and their directors are notified via email. The movie festival then branches off into two parts. One part consists of the 80 movies being passed through a first round evaluation and judged by a domestic (Japanese) jury. These preliminary jury members select the best 20 movies to be considered for the final evaluation process. In the final evaluation round, international jury members selected by the CON-CAN staff select the top three nominations to be awarded the Grand Prix award (the best short movie) and the two Tamashii awards (special jury awards). The winner of the Grand Prix award and the two Tamashii award winners are invited to Tokyo with travel and accommodations paid for in order to attend the award ceremony. The award ceremony hosts famous people from the movie industry and notable news networks. Another part consists of the 80 movies being categorized into four groups. Each group is independently displayed on CON-CAN's website. During this time, registered voters are able to watch free movies and animations, rate the movies and comment on them. The movie with the highest rating in each category is awarded an Audience Award. Awards Grand Prix Winners Tamashii Award Winners Audience Award Winners Jury The international jury which chooses the three best movies during the final evaluation round features famous people from the movie industry.

Whether you are attracted to the stylized flames on the tread, or want to take your Jeep dune bashing on the weekends and still be able to drop the kids off at school on Monday, the Nitto Dune Grappler Desert Terrain Tire has something for you. This rugged all-terrain tire features a heavy-duty sidewall and tread features that are optimized for both on-road handling and off-road traction. The tread voids and shoulder lugs were specifically engineered for use on loose ground and sand. Reinforced Sidewall: The three-ply polyester sidewall (in select sizes) is both puncture resistant and long lasting. This durable design makes for a longer lasting tire. Tread Block Rigidity: For improved traction, Nitto reinforces the coupling joints on their Dune Grappler tires. These joints connect the outer most tread blocks to the center blocks. Sidewall Design: Nitto uses a dual sidewall design on all of their Grappler tires. One side has Old English lettering, where the other side features traditional lettering. Both sides have the Dune Grappler "flame" pattern. Staggered Shoulder Lugs: The Dune Grappler has an enhanced lug design for better off-road ability. The shoulder lugs wrap down the sidewall, which provides additional traction in loose terrain. Off-Road Traction: The intermediate void ratio between the tread blocks helps to provide off-road performance in loose dirt and sand. All-Terrain: The combination of tread elements is optimized for on-road handling and off-road performance. We recommend that tires be installed by a certified installation center. Tire Height: 33.00" or 34.00" or 35.00" or 32.00"	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
SUDDEN CHILD DEATHS ON PSYCHOSTIMULANTS BY "LEGALLY SANCTIONED 'SPEED'." CAUSED 20 -30 DEATHS IN CANADA- COURTESY OF SHIRLEY'S WELLNESS CAFE WEBSITE Ritalin: Legally Sanctioned "Speed" by Julian Whitaker M.D. Ritalin is the number one prescription drug for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This drug has such tremendous potential for abuse that it is classified as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Ritalin is an amphetamine (in street jargon, "speed") with a lengthy list of side effects, including nervousness, insomnia, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, palpitations, headaches, irregular heart rhythms, and psychic dependence — in short, addiction. In fact, Ritalin's appeal to drug users and its potential for abuse are so high that US House Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde (R-IL) recently filed a request with the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an investigation of Ritalin abuse in public schools. In addition, class action lawsuits have been filed in Texas, California and New Jersey charging Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis, maker of Ritalin, with conspiracy to create the psychiatric disorder known as ADHD in order to fuel the market for their product. Dr. Fred Baughman - " In the area of child psychiatric drugs, the main focus has been the recently commenced FDA hearings, which pertain to reports of death, strokes and heart attacks in children and adults. The first report concerning Adderall came out about a year ago. Adderall is the number one ADHD drug, and that report dealt with 12 or so individuals that were said to have had strokes, if you can imagine a stroke occurring in a young child. Some were sudden deaths and others were heart complications, and a total of 20 to 30 such reports lead Health Canada to take Adderall off the market." Dr. Baughman was an adult and child neurologist in private practice for 35 years more... New But Unimproved The latest version of methylphenidate is an extended-released tablet that will be the most expensive prescription drug on the ADHD market. The once-a-day drug, called Concerta, was launched with great fanfare just in time for the new school year, with a team of 515 sales reps targeting pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, neurologists, and family practitioners around the country. Though promoters of the drug say it will help eliminate the embarrassment experienced by children who have to take medication at school, the drug will do nothing to eliminate the dangers of methylphenidate. In clinical studies, side effects of Concerta were virtually identical to those of Ritalin. There are natural alternatives to both Ritalin and Concerta, but you're not likely to hear about them from most conventional doctors. And if the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has its way, you won't be able to find these products in health food stores, either. Big Pharma Bribes Doctors to Hook Your Kids on Drugs For decades, the majority of American doctors, mental health professionals, the media, and the general public have yielded to the disseminations of Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biedeman who successfully evangelized for more children -- and younger children -- to be medicated with powerful psychiatric drugs. The blowback from ADHD drugs is reported in the current July 2009 Scientific American Mind article "Do ADHD Drugs Take a Toll on the Brain?" a comprehensive report of the long-term dangers of ADHD drugs such as Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, and Vyvanse. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated in 2005 that 9% of boys and 4% of girls in the U.S. were taking ADHD stimulant medications; and according to a 2007 study, ADHD-drug prescriptions rose by almost 12 percent a year between 2000 and 2005. ADHD drugs are either the "amphetamine-like" methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin and Concerta) or actual amphetamines (e.g., Adderall and Vyvanse), so it should not be surprising that long-term use is associated with many hazards. The current Scientific American Mind piece, authored by Edmund S. Higgins, clinical associate professor of family medicine and psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina states, "Methylphenidate has a chemical structure similar to that of cocaine and acts on the brain in a very similar way." In February 2009, neuroscientists at the Rockefeller University reported cocaine-like structural and chemical alterations in the brains of mice given methylphenidate. The Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex - Corruption in Drug Research and in Medicine Toxic Psychiatry Do doctors know what they are doing to the children? The devastating effects of the drug Ritalin and the long-term side effects in the brain. Dr. Med. Heinrich Kremer of the Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein clinic, specializing in medications of the states Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, describes in detail the effects of the drug Ritalin in the brain and to introduce alternative, Ritalin-free therapies for restless children. No conscientious doctor will prescribe Ritalin after studying this article. The devastating effects of the drug Ritalin and the long-term side effects in the brain Class action lawsuits have been filed in Texas, California and New Jersey charging Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis, maker of Ritalin, with conspiracy to create the psychiatric disorder known as ADHD in order to fuel the market for their product. Dr. Rob Robertson, MD - "I believe Transfer Factor is, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can.

Glutathione and ADHD Children The effect of low Glutathione levels in children suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Redox Rep. 2006;11(4):163-72. Department of Medical Chemistry, Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovak Republic. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) belongs to the neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impulsivity, distractibility and hyperactivity. In the pathogenesis of ADHD genetic and non-genetic factors play an important role. It is assumed that one of non-genetic factors could be oxidative stress. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigated the influence of intercellular reduced Glutathione and oxidized Glutathione in children suffering from ADHD and total antioxidant status (TAS). This is the first investigation of the redox Glutathione state in relation to ADHD. One month of Glutathione administration caused a significant decrease in oxidized Glutathione and a highly significant increase in Glutathione levels as well as improvement of Glutathione/oxidized Glutathione ratio in comparison to a group of patients taking a placebo. TAS in children with ADHD was decreased in comparison with reference values. Glutathione administration normalized the TAS of ADHD children in this study. Dr. Jimmy Gutman, MD - "Clinical evidence links low glutathione levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency." Glutathione is a master antioxidant, an important line of defense against diseases, toxins, viruses, pollutants, radiation and oxidative stress. Low glutathione levels are linked to diseases such as Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Atherosclerosis, pregnancy complications, male infertility and Cataracts. A Glutathione deficiency can cause a lack of coordination, mental disorders, tremors, and difficulty maintaining balance. Glutathione is continuously defending our body against attacks from disease, toxins, poisons, viruses, pollutants, radiation and oxidative stress. Without Glutathione our liver would soon become overwhelmed with the accumulation of toxins, resulting in organ failure and death. click here to learn more.... Robert O. Young D.Sc., Ph.D - "In the last ten years, over 25,000 medical articles about this substance have been published, and the scientific understanding of glutathione is gradually becoming common knowledge. Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materals in order to produce it. Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise."

The evidence suggests that the objective of the psychiatrists who designed TeenScreen is to place children so selected on psychotropic drugs. "It's just a way to put more people on prescription drugs," said Marcia Angell, a medical ethics lecturer at Harvard Medical School and author of "The Truth About Drug Companies." She said such programs will boost the sale of antidepressants even after the FDA in September ordered a "black box" label warning that the pills might spur suicidal thoughts or actions in minors. (The New York Post, December 5, 2004) The American Heart Association Alert for ADD/ADHD Children The American Heart Association issued a recommendation for all children currently taking or diagnosed to begin taking prescription ADD/ADHD medication to receive a thorough cardiovascular screening. This warning follows last year's FDA ordinance to ADD/ADHD drug manufacturers to include warning labels on drugs regarding the increased risk for cardiac complications among those with underlying heart conditions, as prescription ADD/ADHD stimulants raise both heart rate and blood pressure. Do Antidepressants Cause Violence and Suicide? Psychiatric drugs cause major changes in brain chemistry and in behavior. International drug regulators warn that the drugs we are doling out to kids can cause mania, psychosis, depersonalization, suicidal and even homicidal ideation. If we take a look at the school shooters that were under the influence of these drugs, you have to wonder why there hasn't been a federal investigation into the correlation between drugs documented to cause violence and suicide and kids taking them who then became violent and suicidal. If even a handful of these school shooters were found to be taking PCP or smoking crack we would have headline news announcing a causal relationship between illicit drug use and acts of violence. But because these kids are taking legal drugs, prescribed by a psychiatrist for an alleged mental disorder, something we use to refer to as "childhood," the powers that be don't think it merits an investigation. Well we are all aware of how much Pharma spends on lobbying efforts. Regarding corporate media I would venture a guess that the reason they haven't taken on the issue is simple: Big Pharma is now one of, if not the largest, advertisers in the United States, with $5 billion a year spent on direct to consumer advertising.

Dr. Whitaker points out that many of the gun-related massacres that have made the headlines over the past decade have a common thread: they were perpetrated by people taking Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, or a related drug. A documented side effect of these drugs -- known clinically as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- is akathisia, or physical and mental agitation. Dr. Whitaker says "akathisia is to violence what a match is to gasoline. And this condition has been reported in a significant number of Prozac users."

Iran to exceed uranium stockpile limit as nuclear deal continues to stumble Iran will soon exceed the stockpile limit set by the 2015 nuclear deal, and is nearing weapons-grade enrichment. World leaders are striving to find improved terms for the deal, which unraveled after the U.S. pulled out to pursue sanctions. Mohammad Berno/Iranian President's Office/AP President Hassan Rouhani visits the Bushehr nuclear plant in January 2015. Iran will soon exceed the uranium stockpile limit set by its 2015 nuclear deal as Tehran and the EU's attempts at setting new terms for the deal loom large. By Nasser Karimi and Jon Gambrell Associated Press Tehran, Iran; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates Iran will break the uranium stockpile limit set by Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers in the next 10 days, the spokesman for the country's atomic agency said Monday while also warning that Iran could enrich uranium up to 20% – just a step away from weapons-grade levels. The announcement by Behrouz Kamalvandi, timed for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, puts more pressure on Europe to come up with new terms for Iran's 2015 nuclear deal. The deal has steadily unraveled since the Trump administration pulled the United States out of the accord last year and re-imposed tough economic sanctions on Iran, deeply cutting into its sale of crude oil abroad and sending its economy into free fall. Europe has so far been unable to offer Iran a way around the U.S. sanctions. The development comes in the wake of apparent attacks on oil tankers last week in the Mideast, assaults that Washington has blamed on Iran. While Iran has denied being involved, it has used mines in the past against commercial traffic around the crucial Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's crude oil passes. Mr. Kamalvandi accused Europeans of "killing time" as the clock runs down. "If this condition continues, there will be no deal" anymore, Mr. Kamalvandi said. President Hassan Rouhani, greeting France's new ambassador to Tehran on Monday, similarly warned that time was running out for the deal. "The current situation is very critical and France and the other parties to the [deal] still have a very limited opportunity to play their historic role for saving the deal," Mr. Rouhani said, according to his website. Under terms of the nuclear deal, Iran can keep a stockpile of no more than 660 pounds of low-enriched uranium. Mr. Kamalvandi said that given Iran's recent decision to quadruple its production of low-enriched uranium, it would pass the 660-pound limit on Thursday, June 27. The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said last month that Iran still remained within its stockpile limits. The Vienna-based agency declined to comment Monday on Iran's announcement. Mr. Kamalvandi said Iran needs 5% enrichment for its nuclear power plant in southern Iranian port of Bushehr and it also needs 20% enrichment for a Tehran research reactor. The nuclear deal had limited Iran to enriching uranium only to 3.67%, which is enough for power plants and peaceful purposes. But after Washington's pullout and escalated sanctions, Tehran set a July 7 deadline for Europe to come up with better terms for the deal, saying it would otherwise take additional steps away from the accord, likely meaning it would boost enrichment further. Mr. Kamalvandi enforced that stance, saying Tehran will increase uranium enrichment levels "based on the country's needs." Enriching a supply of uranium means boosting its concentration of the type of uranium that can power a nuclear reaction. That type, or isotope, is called U-235. Enrichment basically means stripping away atoms of another isotope, called U-238. Boosting its purity to 20% means removing 22 more unwanted isotopes per atom of U-235, while going from there to 90% purity means removing just four more per atom of U-235. Ninety percent is considered weapons-grade material. That means going from 20% to 90% is a relatively quicker process, something that worries nuclear nonproliferation experts. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Iran reached its nuclear deal with world powers in 2015, agreeing to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Since President Donald Trump took office, the U.S. has steadily stripped away at the accord. Mr. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal in May 2018. Tensions have ratcheted up in the region since last month. The U.S. rushed an aircraft carrier strike group and other military assets to the Mideast in response to what it said were threats from Iran. Meanwhile, a series of mysterious attacks have targeted oil tankers, and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched a series of drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia. Gen. Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, the chief of the general staff of Iran's armed forces, denied Tehran was involved in the ship attacks, saying Monday the country would respond in "an open, strong, and severe way" only if needed. However, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which the U.S. suspects in the attacks, answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and operates outside of the army's control. Mr. Kamalvandi spoke to Iranian journalists in a news conference at the country's Arak heavy water nuclear reactor. Such reactors produce plutonium that can be used in nuclear weapons. Iran, under the nuclear deal, had reconfigured the facility to address Western concerns on that issue. However, Mr. Kamalvandi said the country could rebuild the facility to make it produce plutonium. He also said Iran would continue to allow the U.N. to inspect its nuclear facilities for the time being. The U.S. alleges Iran used limpet mines to target two tankers last Thursday, pointing to black-and-white footage it captured that U.S. officials describe as an Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessel removing an unexploded mine from the Japanese-operated tanker Kokuka Courageous, one of the two ships that were targeted. The Japanese tanker's owner said its crew described "flying objects" as having targeted the vessel. In Brussels on Monday, European Union foreign ministers said they were still looking for more information on who might be behind the incident involving the tankers. Germany and others insisted they need a clearer picture before wading into a diplomatic conflict that could have serious implications in the Middle East. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that U.S. and British intelligence needs to be compared with other information from allies. "We have to be very careful," he said. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said it was not a time to jump to action without proper information. "The maximum restraint and wisdom should be applied," she said ahead of the monthly foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg. This story was reported by The Associated Press. Associated Press writers Raf Casert in Brussels and Frank Jordans in Berlin contributed to this report.

Q: Should I use the future tense here? Maybe you'll meet a girl who isn't interested in a long term relationship. Should isn't actually be won't be? Are both acceptable? A: I think both are acceptable. They are certainly correct. It may help to consider that we often use the present when talking about future moments in English. "When you arrive, we'll eat." I think the main difference in your example is that "won't be" would imply that she starts to not want a long term relationship from when she meets you, versus the much more "in general", "she isn't interested", with you or with anyone.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaStackExchange" }
← Delinquent Property Tax Foreclosure: Is There "Reasonably Equivalent Value" or Not? What Comes After Stay Relief: The Disappearing Deficiency Claim (Round 2) → What Comes After Stay Relief: The Disappearing Deficiency Claim (Round 1) Posted on May 31, 2013 by BankruptcyRealEstateInsights In re Wright, 486 B.R. 491 (Bankr. D. Ariz. 2012) – In Wright, a mortgage lender obtained relief from the automatic stay in a chapter 11 bankruptcy and proceeded with a state non-judicial foreclose sale on two properties. However, it did not take the next step and file an action as required under state law to preserve its deficiency claim. The lender then attempted to pursue a claim for the deficiency in the bankruptcy court. The court begins its opinion with the following: "Ultimately this is a cautionary tale woven from wealth and its loss, a proof of claim that was lost in the paperwork, and hazy memories of years past." Translation: The lender lost. A chapter 11 debtor owned 240 units of rental housing on 160 parcels of real property, which it listed in its schedules as having an aggregate value of ~$36.4 million subject to liens of ~$43.2 million. (The court concludes its rendition of these facts with the statement: "Thus, the Debtor could be described as a real estate investor, who utilized the income received from his numerous rental properties to subsidize a lifestyle of comfort until the value of his real estate assets dramatically declined in value.") One lender (MidFirst) provided loans on two properties. The debtor estimated that in one case the property had a value of $760,000, leaving an estimated deficiency claim of $686,600, and in the other case the property had a value of $975,000, with an estimated deficiency of ~$644,000. Prior to bankruptcy MidFirst had commenced non-judicial sales that were stayed when the debtor filed bankruptcy. MidFirst sought relief from the automatic stay, arguing that the debtor had no equity and that MidFirst's interests were not adequately protected. It also argued that the debtor had converted prepetition rents. Ultimately the parties stipulated to an order granting relief from the stay in very broad terms: All stays and injunctions in this case, including the automatic stay of Bankruptcy Code §362(a), with respect to the Properties shall be, and hereby are vacated, terminated, and annulled… MidFirst is immediately entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies in connection with the Properties, including without limitation any acts which MidFirst may undertake or direct to obtain possession and control of the Properties pursuant to its loan and security documents entered into with the debtor, and applicable state and federal law. MidFirst proceeded with the foreclosure sales, and as expected, was left with deficiency claims. Under applicable state law, a secured creditor that pursues a non-judicial foreclosure sale must bring an action to recover a deficiency judgment (that includes a determination of the fair maket value of the property) within 90 days after the date of the sale. In this case, MidFirst did not pursue the required action. In response the debtor's argument that this precluded MidFirst from asserting a deficiency claim in the bankruptcy, MidFirst made various arguments, including that (1) it could not have pursued the action since the relief from the automatic stay only allowed it to exercise its in rem rights with respect to the property, and did not authorize it to take any action against the debtor personally, and (2) the proof of claim it filed in the bankruptcy proceeding served as an "action" sufficient to preserve its deficiency claim. The court disagreed on all counts. Given the very broad nature of the relief from stay, it was the court's expectation that MidFirst could pursue all actions relating to the foreclosure proceedings, including any action required to establish the deficiency. With respect to the proof of claim, it was not sufficient to satisfy the statutory requirement for an action. Among other things, MidFirst waited for over a year after the foreclosure proceeding to amend its proof of claim to reflect the results of the sale. In considering the proper treatment of the claim in a bankruptcy, the court noted that under Section 502(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a claim is disallowed to the extent it is unenforceable under non-bankruptcy law. Here the anti-deficiency statute was applicable non-bankruptcy law, and has been interpreted as a statute of repose (meaning that if the statutory requirements are not met, a valid cause of action no longer exists, as opposed to merely extinguishing the right to proceed). So, the claim was properly disallowed under the Bankruptcy Code. The court also found that the issue of a deficiency claim was resolved as part of a settlement of the adversary proceeding regarding rents. So, MidFirst was also barred by res judicata. As this case makes clear, although obtaining relief from the automatic stay does not mean that a lender is free from the requirements and limitations of bankruptcy (see Mortgagees Beware: Stay Relief Does Not Mean You Are Home Free), it also means that the lender must be cautious and consider the effect of state law that was previously not relevant due to the automatic stay.

\section{Introduction} In recent decades, many useful imaging biomarkers have emerged from multiple imaging modalities such as CT, PET, SPECT and MRI (and its many sub-modalities) to assist with differential diagnosis, disease monitoring and measuring the efficacy of pharmaceutical treatments. Diagnostic workflows and clinical trials have therefore become dependent on the simultaneous use of multiple modalities to augment the clinical understanding of complex diseases. This diversity of imaging modalities creates complexity for image archival systems such as PACS, VNAs and cloud-based solutions, and the institutions or businesses that use them. Classification of modalities and sub-modalities is important for efficient imaging workflows, a particularly difficult problem in MRI as the many distinct sub-modalities are not differentiated in a simple and consistent manner by image header information. For example, the use of contrast enhancing agents is a field often accidentally omitted or improperly populated in DICOM headers, meaning the use of a contrast enhancing agent can only be determined from the features of the image itself. In molecular imaging, an increasing variety of radioligands are being developed for monitoring different disease processes with each having distinct patterns of uptake or deposition. A human expert can easily distinguish them by their distinct visual features, however, scanner, vendor and center-specific idiosyncrasies in sequence implementation result in inconsistencies in DICOM header information that make automatic classification from DICOM headers alone highly challenging. Due to the importance of the visual features of the images to classify, the problem lends itself to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which have proved to be highly successful at achieving near human-level performance at classifying images based on visual features \cite{he2015delving}. A challenge to using CNNs for this kind of application is that they require large volumes of annotated data, which can be difficult to obtain for novel imaging biomarkers or rare modalities. For example, in a clinical trial utilising a novel imaging biomarker, it might be difficult to collect more than a handful of examples of the associated imaging sequence at startup. However, during the course of the trial, thousands of images may be acquired, requiring specific expertise to properly classify each sequence. Few-shot learning techniques offer a solution to creating robust classifiers from a limited amount of training data. In this paper, we propose a few-shot learning model based on Deep Triplet Networks, capable of capturing the most relevant imaging features that enable the differentiation between modalities even if the amount of training examples is limited. \section{Methods} \subsection{Data} We collect a brain imaging dataset that consists of 7 MRI sequences (T1, T2, post-contrast T1, T2-FLAIR, PD, PASL and MRA), CT and FDG-PET imaging, sourced from several public datasets that include brain scans from healthy and diseased individuals. We consider two categories for these modalities: base modalities, that includes T1, T2, CT and FDG-PET, and are the most abundant and have the most distinctive imaging traits; and few-shot modalities, which includes T1-post, T2-FLAIR, PD, PASL and MRA modalities. To train and evaluate the models, we extract 2D slices by sampling a normal distribution centered around the middle slice of the brain along the sagittal, coronal and axial axes. We sample 30874 slices of T1, 231759 of T2, 18541 of CT, 15432 of FDG-PET, 8017 of T1-post, 9828 of T2-FLAIR, 8370 of PD, 5321 of PASL and 8462 of MRA images. We used 70\% for training, 10\% for evaluation and 20\% for test. \subsection{Deep Triplet Networks} \label{sec:embeddings_cnn_triplet_loss} We approach the few-shot learning problem with Triplet Networks \cite{metric_learning_triplet_networks}. A Triplet Network is a type of metric learning algorithm designed to learn a metric embedding $\phi(x)$ and a corresponding distance function $d(x, x')$ induced by a normed metric, so that given a triplet of samples $(x, x^+, x^-)$ and a similarity measure $r(x, x')$ that satisfies $r(x, x^+) > r(x, x^-)$, the learned distance function satisfies $d(x, x^+) < d(x, x^-)$. In essence, Triplet Networks learn to project samples in a embedding space in which similar samples are closer and dissimilar samples are farther apart with respect to a normed metric. \begin{figure}[H] \caption{A Deep Triplet Network takes an \textit{anchor}, a \textit{positive} and a \textit{negative} sample, computes their embeddings with a deep CNN and then learns a distance function that satisfies the similarities between the samples of the triplet.} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{triplet_network_diagram.png} \label{fig:triplet_network_diagram} \end{figure} In our experimental setting, which corresponds to a multi-class image classification problem, the similarity measure $r(x, x')$ is defined by the labeling of our samples, that is, $r(x, x') = 1$ if $x$ and $x'$ belong to the same class and $r(x, x') = 0$ if $x$ and $x'$ belong to different classes. We define our distance function using the $L_1$ normed metric as follows: \begin{equation} d(x, x') = \|\|\phi(x) - \phi(x')\|\|_1 \end{equation} where $\phi(x)$ is implemented with a deep CNN, hence the Deep Triplet Networks naming. Typically, the samples of the triplet $(x, x^+, x^-)$ are referred to as \textit{anchor}, \textit{positive} and \textit{negative}; the \textit{anchor} and \textit{positive} samples belong to the same class, while the \textit{negative} sample belongs to a different class. A diagram of a Deep Triplet Network is depicted in \autoref{fig:triplet_network_diagram}. \subsection{Triplet loss with online hard-mining} The loss used to train Deep Triplet Networks, referred to as triplet loss, is defined as follows: \begin{equation} L(x, x^+, x^-) = max(d(x,x^+) - d(x, x^-) + m, 0) + \lambda (\|\|x\|\|_2 + \|\|x^+\|\|_2 + \|\|x^-\|\|_2) \end{equation} where $m$ is a margin that controls how much farther apart do we want the \textit{negative} sample to be with respect to the \textit{anchor} and \textit{positive} sample, and $\lambda$ is an hyperparameter that controls the amount of $L_2$ norm penalization of the embedding vectors. We implement an online hard-mining triplet loss, which has been shown to be more efficient and help convergence \cite{online_triplet_loss}. Instead of computing the embeddings on the whole training set in an offline fashion and then mine the hard triplets, which satisfy $d(x, x^-) < d(x, x^+)$, we compute the embeddings on a mini-batch of $B$ images and then create a valid triplet with the hardest positive and the hardest negative for each anchor within that mini-batch \cite{online_triplet_loss_v2}. We choose a batch size of $B = 64$ as it provides a good balance between memory demand and a number of samples large enough to mine valid triplets among a variety of classes. \subsection{Pipeline for image classification with Deep Triplet Networks} \begin{figure}[H] \centering \caption{Diagram of the end-to-end pipeline for image classification with Deep Triplet Networks} \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{diagram_pipeline.png} \label{fig:diagram_pipeline} \end{figure} We propose a pipeline for medical image volume classification based on Deep Triplet Networks. The pipeline, shown in \autoref{fig:diagram_pipeline}, starts with a preprocessing and slice sampling step that normalizes the orientation and image intensities of the volume and samples slices along the acquisition plane, emphasizing the sampling density around the FOV center. Each slice is then passed through a CNN that consists of a ResNet-50 \cite{residual_learning} initialized with pre-trained weights from ImageNet and trained with the triplet loss previously described. Then, the embedding vectors extracted per slice are projected to a lower-dimensional space using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), in order to remove the noisy components of the embedded representation \cite{dimensionality_reduction}. The PCA-projected embeddings are then clustered with a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) via expectation maximisation (EM). Unlike other clustering algorithms, such as k-means, a GMM is capable of capturing non-spherical cluster structures and provides estimates of the likelihood of a sample belonging to the model due to its probabilistic nature. We set the number of components of the GMM equal to the number of classes, and create a cluster to label mapping function by assigning to each cluster the most common class. From a GMM we can extract the posterior probability of each slice, that is, the probability that a sample came from each of the components of the mixture. We leverage that property to implement a hard decision function in which each slice is assigned the class with maximum probability, and the volume is classified by majority voting. \section{Experiments} \subsection{Hyperparameter search} We use grid-search to obtain the optimal parameters of the model. The hyperparameters and options selected to optimize the network architecture are: \begin{itemize} \item Optimizer: ADAM, SGD with Nesterov momentum. \item Learning Rate: $1e^{-3}$, $1e^{-4}$, $1e^{-5}$. \item Learning Rate Decay: use a exponential decay with a decay rate of 0.9 every 1000 steps or not use decay. \end{itemize} The best performance was obtained when using SGD with Nesterov momentum as optimizer, a learning rate of $1e^{-3}$ and learning rate decay. We set in all experiments $L_2$ and $L_1$ regularization of weights to $1e^{-5}$ and $1e^{-6}$ respectively, the margin $m$ of the triplet loss to 2, the $L_2$ penalization of the embeddings $\lambda$ to 0.05, and the dimension of the embedding space to 64. We also perform random left-right and up-down flips as data augmentation. This configuration is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model in all the subsequent experiments. Furthermore, for each set of experiments, we evaluate the PCA projector using different number of projection components in order to select the best configuration. After evaluating the results, we select PCA with 9 components. The GMM is configured so that each component has its own general covariance matrix. \subsection{Few-shot learning} We compare the performance of our proposed Triplet Network (TN) classifier against a standard CNN classifier when training with all the available data (exp1) and training with restrictions on the number of slices of the few-shot classes (exp2). In the latter, we restrict the number of slices of the few-shot classes to only 150 slices, which corresponds to 10 volumes from which 5 slices have been sampled for each of the 3 orthogonal axes. The CNN classifier is based on the same architecture and pre-trained weights than the TN classifier, plus a fully-connected layer to directly predict the class from the imaging data. In Table~\ref{tab:results} we present the class-wise average of the precision, recall and F1-score, and the balanced accuracy for both experiments. The standard CNN classifier performs considerably well when trained with all the available data, but is unable to capture the relevant imaging traits of the few-shot classes when the training data is scarce. However, the TN classifier is able to produce an embedding space (\autoref{fig:embeddings}) that separates the modalities into distinct clusters, allowing a better classification despite the under-representation of some classes. \begin{table}[] \caption{Classification metrics of the Triplet Network classifier (TN) and the standard CNN classifier (CNN).

We consider the scenario where the model has been trained with data that has been randomly corrupted by noise and tested with corrupted samples (exp3), and the scenario where the model has been trained with curated data but is also tested with corrupted samples (exp4). Further, we also analyze the performance when limiting the number of instances of the few-shot classes in both exp3 and exp4, as described in the previous section. In Table~\ref{tab:results-noise} we show the class-wise average of the precision, recall and F1-score, and the balanced accuracy for the experiments where the data is corrupted with additive gaussian noise and salt and pepper noise. When the noise applied is additive gaussian, in both experiments and both scenarios (with and without limiting few-shot classes), the TN classifier outperfoms the CNN classifier, thus providing a more robust model. As expected, when the model has observed samples corrupted with noise during the training process the performance is better than when the training data is all curated. In the experiment using salt and pepper noise, when we use randomly corrupted samples during training the CNN classifier performs better than the TN classifier, but the results of the network decrease considerably when the few-shot classes are limited, while our proposed model is able to maintain a good performance. Both networks achieve bad results when are trained with curated data and tested with samples with salt and pepper noise. It is interesting to observe that the performance of the CNN classifier is similar with both types of noise, while the TN classifier has decreased substantially its performance when the noise used is salt and pepper. \begin{table}[] \caption{Classification metrics of the few-shot classifier (Triplet) and the standard CNN classifier (Baseline) when trained with data corrupted noise (exp3) and trained with curated data but tested with corrupted volumes (exp4).

To do so, we obtain a minimum log-likelihood threshold by taking the 1st percentile over the training data, which corresponds to a value of -12.44, and compare such threshold with the estimated log-likelihood of samples: a) that come from one of the classes on our dataset; b) that come from classes not represented in our dataset (e.g. volumes with binary masks or derived images). In \autoref{fig:uncertainty} we can see examples of the proposed experimental setting. We observe that a sample from a class represented in the dataset (in our case, a T1 volume from the test split) presents a log-likelihood value above the proposed threshold. However, samples from classes not represented in the dataset (concretely, a segmentation map, a filtered image and a probability map) have a log-likelihood value lower than the proposed threshold. This basic observation serves as an initial validation of the possibility of having uncertainty estimates using the combination of a Deep Triplet Network and a GMM model, thus having the capability of discerning out-of-sample modalities. \begin{figure} \caption{Three samples of classes not represented in our dataset and a T1 slice, with their corresponding log-likelihood.} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{uncertainty.png} \label{fig:uncertainty} \end{figure} \section{Conclusions} We have provided evidence that Deep Triplet Networks are a viable solution for modality classification in a few-shot setting. The proposed model, when trained with 30 times less instances of the rarer classes, surpasses substantially the performance of a CNN classifier trained under the same conditions. We have also concluded that the creation of an embedding space following a triplet network strategy increases the robustness against noise when compared to a standard CNN classifier. This is due to the fact that the results are not remarkably altered when the data is corrupted, regardless of whether the model has been trained with all the available samples or limiting the number of instances. Finally, we have explored the use of log-likelihood estimates of our model as a measure of uncertainty by evaluating such measure on samples not belonging to our dataset. We have found that this measure can effectively serve as an initial basis for uncertainty estimation, hence it can make our model more robust to unseen examples. This observation is preliminary and further investigation and development is required. Future work will focus on this topic, as well as extending the proposed model to alternative problems, such as disease staging. \bibliographystyle{splncs04}	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaArXiv" }

Jim'll Watch It September 27, 2016 Jim McLennan comedy, reviews, sf Rating: C+ Dir: Paul Feig Star: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones As usual, when there are two polarized opinions regarding a topic, the truth is not to be found at either extreme. This is not the disastrous flop of political correctness the nay-sayers would have you believe. Nor is it the triumph of inclusive cinema its supporters want you to think. Instead, it is a reasonably competent but almost entirely unnecessary product of the Hollywood machine. Its production cost about five times as much as the original, and this runs about half an hour longer – but is it as funny? I'd be inclined to say, no, and that's what renders it "mostly harmless," as Douglas Adams might say. Not to say there aren't pleasures to be had here. As expected, McCarthy is not actually a bad substitute for Murray; likely a little short (in ways both literal and figurative), but holds her own well and exudes a similar refusal to give a damn. The rest of the cast are a bit more of a mixed bag. For 95% of the film, McKinnon appears to be little more than a grab-bag of irritating tics in lieu of genuine character, and it's probably a good thing Jones is as marginalized as Ernie Hudson was (I find a little of her comedic schtick goes a long way, personally). Wiig was probably the most pleasant surprise, managing to combine brains with heart to good effect, though Chris Hemsworth's delightfully dumb secretary was a bit of social commentary that actually worked. The biggest problem is the apparent lack of chemistry between the leads. The original had scenes, such as the trio sitting around eating Chinese food, which managed to convey the idea of them being a team. I never got that impression in the reboot, where they felt more like standalone individuals. Indeed, the new film could have been made with a single Ghostbuster – pick whichever one you want – as the focus, and wouldn't have been significantly different. It's certainly slick, and on a technical level, is a marvel to behold. But the climax goes on and on and (I think this is largely why it's 27 minutes longer) on and on, to the point where it becomes a numbing, Michael Bay-like spectacle. Remakes are always a duel-edged sword. Go off a popular movie, and you get a built-in audience and can ride on the coat-tails of name-brand recognition. For instance, I did enjoy the cameos from a number of the original cast, who pop up at various, largely unexpected moments. The downside is, your film will always be compared to its predecessor, and typically needs to be better than average to stand up to this test. That's where the 2016 version falls short. On its own merits, this would be decent entertainment, albeit largely forgettable – I literally cannot recall a single memorable line, and I only watched this three days ago. But when you're putting yourself beside one of the most beloved comedies of all time, "decent entertainment" no longer cuts it. Here's my not-so bold prediction. In 30 years time, probably a great deal sooner, this will be all but forgotten, while the original will continue to be loved.

MONTGOMERY \| The Alabama Legislature will begin next year to rewrite the state constitution's education article — a process that almost certainly will involve all three branches of government and powerful lobbying organizations. Republicans who govern the Legislature are embarked on an article-by-article rewrite of the 1901 Alabama Constitution, which has been amended more than 800 times. The latest attempt to rewrite a small part ended in failure Nov. 6 when voters defeated Amendment 4, which would have removed unenforceable poll tax language inserted in the constitution during Jim Crow days. The amendment was opposed by the powerful Alabama Education Association because of fears that a new amendment would not guarantee a right to an education. Gov. Robert Bentley supported the attempt to remove racist language and said he'll support future attempts. The 2013 work on the education article could be presented to the full Legislature for consideration in the 2014 session. Before it gets there, the Supreme Court may have to decide what language can be amended: the original Section 256 from the 1901 constitution that guarantees a right to an education or Amendment 111, which removed the right to an education in 1956. Amendment 111 was the reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that racially segregated schools, like Alabama's, were illegal. The amendment was passed in an atmosphere of defiance and possibly with the intent to do away with public schools and shift education dollars to private schools. It's the language in Amendment 111 that the Senate author of Amendment 4 ultimately used for the amendment that voters rejected Nov. 6. Theories abound about why Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, in his attempt to modify the constitution didn't use Section 256 language, which guaranteed a right to an education. Some believe that the Alabama Farmers Federation, the defender of low taxes, got to Orr. ALFA spokesman Brian Hardin said, yes, ALFA talked with Orr. The original Amendment 4 that Orr introduced in 2011 contained the Section 256 language guaranteeing the right to an education. Orr said he got the language from a bill by a black lawmaker, Rep. James Buskey, D-Mobile, in a previous attempt to amend the constitution. Craig Baab, an attorney with the Alabama Appleseed organization, got involved. He said he told Orr he couldn't amend unenforceable constitutional language and that if his amendment passed, it would probably be challenged. The AEA believes Amendment 111 isn't enforceable because a Montgomery Circuit judge in the equity funding lawsuit in 1993 reinstated Section 256 language. The Alabama Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit in 2002. "The constitutions of 1875 and 1901, however, placed the power over education in the Legislature (or General Assembly)," the court ruled. Orr explained why he changed his original bill. The substitution Orr passed incensed black lawmakers once the AEA entered the picture. "Nobody ever gave an explanation, and that's why we backed off," said Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro. The Alabama Law Institute, the Legislative Reference Service and Samford University law professor Howard Walthall agreed with Orr that his amendment wouldn't affect education. "Everyone came back with the conclusion that you have to go what's in the code today and that is 111," Orr said. Before the Amendment 4 vote, AEA lawyers disagreed, saying Article 256 language is still the law. Martha Morgan, a retired University of Alabama law professor, told the New York Times that a vote for the amendment would affirm there is no constitutional right to a public education. That could jeopardize future legal challenges to school financing, she said. "The AEA wanted to preserve as much of its ability to use racial animus as possible to shape education funding and tax policy through the courts, especially since it no longer has total control over the Alabama Legislature," wrote Cameron Smith, general counsel for the Alabama Policy Institute. Henry Mabry, AEA executive secretary, stuck to his guns. "Our lawyers think we're right, how the bill (was) constructed," he said Thursday. Orr said opponents had all of the 2012 legislative session to voice objections. Before the Legislature's article revision committee can look at whether Amendment 111 superseded Article 256 or whether Montgomery County Circuit Judge Gene Reese's 1993 ruling still stands, someone is going to have to determine the operative language. And that is probably going to be the Alabama Supreme Court. Bentley or the Legislature can ask the Supreme Court for an opinion. "I'll study it carefully and make a decision that's best for the state," Bentley said. In January, the Supreme Court will be headed by Roy Moore, who will be sworn in as chief justice just before the 2013 legislative session. When he was chief justice in 2002, Moore concurred in part and dissented in part on the equity funding lawsuit: "I not only agree that this case should be dismissed, but I would go further and say that it should be vacated … the trial court never had subject-matter jurisdiction over the original complaints. Therefore, the circuit court's every act — from the first day —was illegal and is void," Moore wrote. The AEA's Mabry said that ultimately there may have to be some negotiating.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

A couple of weeks back, whilst working on some building some internal management apps, I finally got around to implementing the Devise Google Authenticator gem into a rails app outside of its own testing app. During this process I realised that I hadn't correctly updated some of the extension's code to properly work with the Devise 2.0 release, in particular the changes to the migration schema. A few amendments, a push or two and version 0.3.3 was now available. So far though, we've only had a few queries come in. But, to try and capture them in a more appropriate place I've started a Google Groups which, if you wish, you can sign up to and post queries. Or, if it's easier, just hit us up on twitter: @xntrik or @asteriskinfosec. Asterisk is happy to announce the release of their first (beta) Ruby Gem. The "devise_google_authenticator" gem is a Devise Extension that integrates Google's 2nd Factor Authenticator into Devise's authentication scheme. It's not designed to replace the existing password scheme (database_authenticatable), but it's ideal to provide a second factor authentication mechanism from your smart phone (Android, Blackberry, iOS). Is based on a modularity concept: use just what you really need. After you register your user (after clicking Sign Up), you should be displayed with a QR Code. Simply add this to your Google Authenticator app on your phone, enable the authenticator, close down your browser (to clear your session), revisit the website and after you sign in, you'll be prompted for your one time password.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Q: Recursive method using List Within an asp.net application I have a list of categories objects, within this list each category can be a parent of another category. Example: catid 1 catname cat1 parentid null catid 2 catname cat2 parentid null catid 3 catname cat3 parentid 2 catid 4 catname cat4 parentid 2 catid 5 catname cat5 parentid 4 catid 6 catname cat6 parentid 5 catit 7 catname cat7 parentid 5 I want to write a method that loops through the list of categories, pulls out the parent categories and acquires the child categories from the list. Doing this is easy the hard part I am having problems with is how do I know when the last category object has been reached within a recursive method. This is the logic I am looking for protected void load_categories(ref List<category> list, category item) { //loop through list and match item ID with list item parent ID //loop through child items of category item using load_categories() //HOW DO I STOP ONCE EVERYTHING IS DONE? } A: I would do so: List<category> categoryWithParents = new List<category>(); protected void load_categories(List<category> list, category item) { foreach(category cat in list) { if(item.id == cat.id) { categoryWithParents.Add(cat); if(cat.parentid != null) //if category has parent load_categories(list, cat); //load that parent break; //adding break should stop looping because we found category } } } when you call method with category catid 5 catname cat5 parentid 4 categoryWithParents list should contain(in adding order): catid 5 catname cat5 parentid 4 catid 4 catname cat4 parentid 2 catid 2 catname cat2 parentid null A: You could pass the index of the current item around and only continue while the index is less than the number of items in the list. A: I suppose you have some code like this results = new empty results For childItem in list if ( childItem.parentId == item.id ) results.add ( loadCategories( list, item ) else // nothing to do return results so your recursion-stopping just falls out, it's the else => nothing to do	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaStackExchange" }
Do Tibetans Need a Democracy in Exile? In the midway results of ongoing "Online Opinion Poll on 2011 Kalon Tripa Primary Election", 23 percent of participants responded "Yes" and 19 percent responded "Don't Know" to a concluding question, "As a result of the entire Kalon Tripa electoral process, do you believe we, as a Tibetan, are more divided now than before?" Even though the poll lacks a good sampling technique to generalize the findings, from my personal experiences so far, I see indicators of what the 23 percent of respondents may be trying to communicate through their responses. Throughout the process of Kalon Tripa (Tibetan Prime Minister) election, three groups of interested Tibetan electorates emerged: first, the supporters and campaigners; second, the writers; and third, the observers. The supporters and campaigners have been very vocal and clear about their choice of candidates. I see this category not a problem. They help the general public to learn about their choice of candidate via video footage, fliers, fund raising events, and so on. Most importantly, people in this group generally have faces. However, the biggest concern I see is the second group of people i.e., the writers. When I say writer, I mean to include every individual who writes (and comments on) articles, opinions, blogs, notes, pieces, and Facebook statuses. I agree with the role the writers play in the development of our nascent democracy in exile. However, on a flip side, these writers may also play a covert role in misdirecting our nascent democracy to a degree where the will and interest of general Tibetan in democracy will be lost in the transition. We can see an example of such democracy in and around our own country of residence. The definition of writers expanded several folds in recent decades with the enormous growth of social networking sites. Scott Galloway in his presentation on "Trends and Impacts on Digital Competence" highlights Facebook and Youtube are the two major sites that shares the highest global online time spent by web users. Therefore, in this social network age, anyone with an Internet connection and a Facebook account can write, post, and comment; and similarly, anyone with a smart phone can capture a video for Facebook or Youtube. The most recent and remarkable inspiration of this digital competence is the uprising in Egypt where protesters connect and organize via Facebook and shares their video to the world via their smart phones. Even though Kalon Tripa election is in no way comparable to Egyptian revolution, one can see the connection on the popular use of social networking site such as Facebook and Youtube i.e., to share views and opinions on Kalon Tripa election and candidates among the exile Tibetan Diaspora. One of the most popular groups in Facebook on Kalon Tripa election is, "The youths responsibility for Kalon Tripa 2011". On this group wall, a member can see several categories of wall posts, notes, video footage, links, and comments related to Kalon Tripa election and candidates. Unlike the supporters and campaigners, some of the group members, who writes and comments frequently, have "NO FACES". They come with an anonymous profile name and picture which not only makes it easier to be "No One" but also share their opinions with less or no hesitation. These anonymous members are a concern because they share their views and opinions with no accountability and obligation, yet leaving behind a footprint of hatred, disrespect, and division. Tibetan democracy should not embrace faceless Tibetans who do not share a sense of responsibility towards the larger cause i.e., to establish a vibrant society wherein every Tibetan shares responsibility for his or her role in the growth of Tibetan democracy in exile. Remember, democracy is for the people and by the people. It is not for the faceless and by the faceless web users. Let me share three of the postings in this Facebook group in the last 24 hours. These writings are self-explanatory. One member said, "don;t embarrass urself by abusing me again and again, and please, no half truths..if u got an answer..reply..if u don;t know much about it..reasearch well and answer"; the next one said, "don't try to be slimy and twist the workds, do us a favor ..... if you can't do that then damn you"; and another said, "you brought up the drama so the question should be directed towards you". These three postings are directed towards each members of the group. I chose not to quote postings directed towards individual Kalon Tripa candidates. When I read postings and comments in this Facebook group, I reflect on what President Obama said at a press conference on Feb 9, 2009: "The strongest democracies flourish from frequent and lively debate, but they endure when people of every background and belief find a way to set aside smaller differences in service of a greater purpose". On this Facebook group page, I don't see a debate. But, regretfully, I see frequent and lively arguments where a majority of the group members engage in accusing or belittling each other's views/opinions while keeping their biases firm. It seems every member is trying to prove his or her views, generally based on assumptions, as the absolute truth. I don't see learning by debate or discussion among the group members, setting aside their differences in service of a greater purpose. Rather, they dislike each other by using Facebook as a medium to press their opinions. Is this the reason why a quarter of the poll respondent thinks Tibetan are more divided now? Or are there some other reasons? I will leave other reasons for you to think and analyze. Also, please remember it is not only President Obama but also the "Basic Education Policy for Tibetans in Exile" that embraces the importance of setting aside small differences and to focus on working for the greater purpose. The meaning of education is not to be recognized as merely grasping what is heard from others. Instead, it is to be recognized as realization of what is heard through the power of self-confirmation and actualization of what is realized through persistent contemplation (Article 2.2 of Basic Education Policy for Tibetans in Exile). I hope Tibetans recognize and embrace this meaning of education to help flourish our democracy in exile in the right direction, bringing Tibetans closer to each other. Tibetans need to grow with the popular saying, "Unity in Diversity". The final group is the observers. Literally, they are the people with no harm. They confine themselves from writing, commenting, or speaking for anyone or on anything. However, the group is a concern for a democratic society. Democracy works best when it hears the peoples' voices. In other words, in democracy, there should not be a space for "Voice of the Voiceless". On a side note, the entire problem with Tibetan democracy in exile may be its origin. Democracy for Tibetans in exile was not earned. Instead, the Dalai Lama, regardless of resistance from the general Tibetan public, bestowed democracy upon the exile Tibetan populace. The problem, associated with the blessed democracy, is the lack of shared responsibility by Tibetans to study the democratic principles, ideals, values, and citizen's responsibilities among others. The problem seems true among Tibetans as a large number do not share the responsibilities as well as embrace and respect the differences. It needs to be seen how Tibetans will accept the will of the majority when a candidate wins the Kalon Tripa position. Looking at the problems of blessed democracy as well as the divisions created by the Kalon Tripa election, the questions that lingers - Do Tibetans need a democracy in exile? How Tibetan democracy in exile should develop or flourish? Will the future exile Tibetan Diaspora strengthens with the democracy in exile? *Published in The Tibetan Political Review on Feb 23, 2011.

Until recently, I was an ignoramus about Islam. When almost a quarter of your city's population is Muslim, and you are not, that's not a good thing. This was why I took a Culture Connect walking tour of the Bo-Kaap, Cape Town's historic Muslim cobblestoned neighbourhood (commonly but erroneously called the Malay Quarter). Nevertheless, when I signed up, I thought the promised meal at the end would be the main attraction. What I didn't realise was that it was Ramadan, a month that until that afternoon, meant only fasting to me. The little I knew came from the odd conversation with my beautician and the supermarket posters that wish Muslim customers well over the fast. My entire take on Ramadan was that it is a fast from sun-up to sun-down that lasts about a month, and is broken with dates and followed by a meal. My experience is that non-Muslims in the Cape generally feel awkward around Muslims at Ramadan: you can't help but feel self-conscious about eating lunch when your colleagues are fasting. Are you offending someone? Are you making their fast more difficult? The sun was low in the sky on a chilly winter afternoon, when some 20 of us non-Muslims walked the steep streets of the Bo-Kaap, led by Mohammed Groenewald, a local imam. High above anywhere I'd been on my previous ventures into the neighbourhood to buy spices, I had a much different perspective: less picture postcard, more real, just as exotic. The area may be bright with small houses, painted in every shade of the jellybean rainbow, but it is still modest; and parts of it are poor. But first, a little history. Islam came to Cape Town in the city's earliest days, when exiles and slaves were brought as labour for this budding Dutch colonial way station, in the late 1700s and 1800s. Actually, the name 'Malay Quarter', which has its roots in the Apartheid years, is misleading. None of the residents of the Bo-Kaap came from Malaysia; rather they came from other parts of Asia (modern Indonesia), and even Africa (Madagascar). In particular, Muslim scholars and imams who Dutch colonisers considered dangerous religious agitators were brought to Cape Town. Sheik Yusuf is credited with bringing Islam to South Africa. A learned imam from Goa, India, he was captured in 1683, exiled to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and eventually relocated to the Cape of Good Hope. Dutch attempts to isolate him in an outlying area and prevent his influence over the Cape's growing Islamic population failed, and his influence and teachings spread. The Islam that developed in the Cape is different from what you find in other parts of the world, and even different from Islam practised in other parts of South Africa, explained Mohammed. It's a more relaxed religion than is practised elsewhere, he said, and in particular, is more inclusive of women. Today, about 6000 people live in the Bo-Kaap, and that population is almost entirely Muslim. While most of Cape Town's Muslims live elsewhere now, the Bo-Kaap is the historic heart of Cape Muslim culture, and the preservation of that is close to Mohammed's heart. In recent years, the neighbourhood's urban charm and lower prices have attracted creatives and hipsters, and there is an ongoing struggle to preserve its authenticity. The idea of bars and clubs in the Bo-Kaap just doesn't work for the locals, who do not consume alcohol. During Ramadan, Muslims are required to perform acts of charity, and in the Bo-Kaap, the community hosts a soup kitchen which serves anyone in need. After visiting Auwal Mosque (which is South Africa's oldest mosque) with headscarves on and shoes off, we walked up the hill to the community centre, where soup prepared by residents was being dished up. The streets were eerily quiet as we moved on to the cemetery where Tuan Guru, Auwal's first imam, is buried. Sunset meant the end of the day's fast, and for us, a traditional Cape Malay meal prepared by cook and local resident Faldela Tocker in her home. Crammed around her dining room table, we ate a light meal (the norm for post-fasting), starting with falooda, the bright pink milk drink that is fragrant with rose syrup and floating with soaked falooda (basil) seeds. A fried feast in a basket arrived, with two kinds of samoosas (spinach and meat) and chilli bites, followed by a Malay-style chicken curry with rotis, and lastly, Malay koeksisters, which unlike their twisted Afrikaans cousins, are like fried doughnuts dipped in syrup and sprinkled with coconut. All prepared by a woman who had been fasting all day. Bless. If it seems like the food was not that significant to me, you are right. My mind was swimming with Mohammed's tales of imams, Nelson Mandela (who visited the Auwal mosque shortly after he was released from prison) and how the first Qur'an to be hand-written in South Africa was written from memory (and that the earliest known written form of Afrikaans was in fact Arabic). And, how much richer I felt from knowing the story behind this place. There'd be other times to get into the nitty gritty of Cape Malay food, but probably not many opportunities to break the fast at Ramadan. "Ramadan is a time that should touch everybody," Mohammed had told our group earlier that afternoon. It touched me, long before the food arrived. Culture Connect SA connects people with culture through tours and events in Cape Town. Faldela Tocker teaches Cape Malay cooking in her home to locals and tourists. Beautiful story, Ilana, and inspiring! The more I learn about your city and environs, the more I want to go there. Today's post covers so much that I know little about, and I am grateful to learn from you. Thank you Ann. Would be great if you came! Great article…only came across it now and the relevance more prevalent with current day developments in the bo kaap. Historic area and culture of cape town not to be gentrified.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Yes - the meme above sums it all. You asked a lot about a cross-platform native SideDrawer component and I'm happy that we just delivered it with the massive 1,2 release several weeks ago. So we decided to dogfood our own animations and to see how easy it will be implement this in NativeScript in a cross-platform way. It turned out to be quite easy - just a few lines of code. NativeScript latest bits are now live and you can enjoy several bug fixes in the tooling and in the iOS and Android runtimes. We were also able to put one new features - this is the support of iOS Sumulators as part of our LiveSync feature. With the 1.2 release you were only able to see immediate changes on a real iOS device, now you will be able to see your latest changes whe working with the simulators. Webinar on NativeScript 1.2 is over. See the Q&A. Watch the recording. It's been an exciting release cycle for the NativeScript team. We just published our first official release in May and since then there has been an insane amount of community activity. There are now more than 4k stars on Github, over 300 issues, 260+ forum threads, and more than 20 plugins have been created by the community. Did I mentioned the new G+ NativeScript group? We are already working with the first companies to prepare their apps on the app stores. If you are working on an app - please let us know - we are eager to see what you are building! Sitefinity CMS is a powerful user-friendly .NET CMS product from Telerik. The great thing about Sitefinity is that it's meticulously designed to not feel like a .NET CMS (You know the feel I mean…). Moreover you get to choose to develop using Pure Clean MVC, old school ASP.Net WebForms, or a patented hybrid of the two methods. The last NativeScript webinar had a record-setting number of attendees. As such, we also had a record-setting 1000+ questions asked during the webinar!! Now, as you can guess we could not answer 1000+ questions in a couple of minutes at the end of the webinar. So, we read all 1000+ questions post-webinar and select a handful of them to be answer in this blog post. After reading the questions, I believe many of them will be beneficial to the entire NativeScript community and not just the individual that posted the question during the live webinar. Saving user settings a device's local storage is a common requirement for mobile applications. Because of that, we made the creation of a settings page with NativeScript straightforward. In this blog post you'll learn how to build a settings page using the latest bits of NativeScript—XML declaration, data-binding, and CSS styling. We know how important it is for a new framework to have samples, so you will be able to find several good examples of open source applications built with NativeScript in our Github organization. Open http://github.com/nativescript and search for repositories named after the following pattern "sample-SAMPLE_NAME". All the samples are licensed under the BSD license. This is the first article from a series of articles we are planning to release as we progress with the application implementation. The full source code of the application is here: http://github.com/nativescript/sample-Tasks. NativeScript First Public Beta Release is Now Available!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
HP-Palm: The Analysts Weigh In April 29, 2010 at 9:08 am PT Now that they've had some time to digest the news of Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) acquisition of Palm (PALM), analysts are weighing in on the deal. More than 30 of them issued notes on the subject this morning, and they were largely positive. Consensus seems to be that while the deal seems expensive given Palm's dire straits, it's a wise move for HP–one that could make the company a player in the mobile devices market and strengthen its long-term positioning as well. "The $1.2B transaction value represents <10% of HPQ's current cash balance and only ~1% of HPQ's market value," Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore wrote in a note to clients this morning. "Meanwhile, the payoff could be very sizable to HP who has the potential to capture more value in large, rapidly growing markets (smartphone, Slates/tablets, etc)." BMO Capital Markets Keith Bachman described the deal as a savvy one as well. "We see this as a relatively low-cost bet to meaningfully change the consumer business model and margin profile for a business (PCs) that get little to no current respect from investors,'' he said. Over at Kaufman Bros., analyst Shaw Wu was similarly enthusiastic, saying HP's acquisition of Palm could materially improve its consumer business. "We like the deal as we believe it makes longer-term strategic sense and gives HPQ access to a key piece of intellectual property in webOS and better control of its destiny in the mobile devices space," he said. "We have always believed that webOS had some value as one of three vertically integrated platforms in the smart phone space (the others being AAPL and RIMM). However, we see it as much more than smart phone technology as we believe webOS can be leveraged for use in other mobile devices including tablets, netbooks and potentially even PCs one day." Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt was a bit more cautious in sizing up the deal, wondering if Palm's purchase price wasn't a bit too high. Yet he, too, acknowledged that the upside here is significant if HP plays its cards right. "Was Palm worth $1.2 billion?" he asked. "No one will know for a few years we suspect, but if HP is successful in turning this into their consumer platform, this will go down as a 'home run' acquisition, if not, we suspect it will have limited impact relative to HP's overall business." Faily rosy sentiments, these. That said, there were a few dour ones in the mix as well. Forrester Research analyst Charles Golvin decried the deal as bad strategy. "The good news is that HP made a strong move toward becoming a player in the mobile market," he wrote. "The bad news is that it's the wrong move. Palm could be valued for its brand, its intellectual property, its platform, or its people. HP doesn't need the Palm brand; the IP helps an existing player not a new entrant; we don't think the WebOS platform is viable long term in the face of its competition; and HP could sweep up Palm's people individually at a much lower price. HP needs a strong presence in mobile, but Palm doesn't deliver that." Then there was this, from Kevin Hunt of Hapoalim Securities who raised an eyebrow over Palm's latest 8K filing: "So HP is paying over a billion dollars for a company with rapidly decelerating sales and units, with almost no customer traction, and who would have likely been bankrupt in 3 quarters," he noted. "... In effect, H-P is paying $1.2 billion for an operating system and some engineers, and they will have to fund significant losses for an extended period before they have any hope of making money in the smartphone space." Hard to take issue with that , given the extent of Palm's financial deterioration. But as I noted here yesterday, this isn't simply a smartphone play. It's far, far broader than that. HP is buying an OS that will give it control over both the hardware and software user experiences, something it's never had before. Is $1.2 billion too high a price to pay for that? We'll see … Tagged with: BMO Capital Markets, Chris Whitmore, Deutsche Bank, financial, Hapoalim Securities, hardware, Hewlett-Packard, HP, John Paczkowski, Kaufman Bros., Keith Bachman, Kevin Hunt, Morgan Keegan, Palm, Shaw Wu, software, Tavis McCourt Just as the atom bomb was the weapon that was supposed to render war obsolete, the Internet seems like capitalism's ultimate feat of self-destructive genius, an economic doomsday device rendering it impossible for anyone to ever make a profit off anything again.

Heather Bentley musician Kin of the Moon The Walking Album BlArchive Ishtar - the opera Hemidemisemithoughts - a blog Haley Freedlund The Ballad of Ishtar - the opera Artist Profiles: Beth Fleenor as Ishtar The idea for this opera came to me around Easter time a few years ago when I read an erroneous Facebook post asserting that the goddess Ishtar was the source of the original Easter celebrations. A quick look at Wikipedia showed me that it's more likely the German goddess Oester who lends her name to the Christian holiday - but that was not before I read the Wiki article on Ishtar and just knew that she needed her own opera. The first person who jumped into my mind to create this with is the amazing Beth Fleenor. One of the things that is so great about our group is the depth of collaborative interweavings that connect us. I've recorded an album with Beth in a dark, wet bunker; I learned about conduction alongside her with the late, great Butch Morris; I've loved every free improvisation we've come up with together; and we've had countless long conversations that cover every aspect of artistic life from the practical to the sublime. And that's just with me. Beth has deep musical relationships with everyone in the ensemble. But this is supposed to be about Beth, and why she just has to be the one person in the world to depict Ishtar's rage about humanity's deep violations. If any singer can summon up a goddess-like fury and put it over the top, it is Beth. From her website, we learn the following: "Composer, clarinetist, and raucous vocal percussionist Beth Fleenor harbors a strong love for variety and all sonic manipulation, moving freely through genres such as jazz, rock, classical, contemporary chamber, Slavic & American folk, metal, musique concrete, ambient, noise & pop. Her work has been heard internationally from 100,000 seat festivals, maximum-security prisons, rural bars, art galleries, bunkers, sidewalks, sacred spaces, and some of the most prestigious concert halls, museums, clubs and theaters in the country - in live music, recording, theater, dance, installation, and film. Believing that "art is the discipline of being," Fleenor uses sound to open the channels of communication between and within individuals and environments." She has collaborated for 10 years (along with dancer/violinist Paris Hurley) in the innovative ensemble Double Yoko, has recently returned from a monthlong residency at the Millay Colony in Austerlitz, NY, where she completed a number of etudes for her Blindfold Ensemble (free improvisation while blindfolded - you must go hear this) among other projects, and can be heard/witnessed in the eponymous Crystal Beth and the Boom Boom Band - here's Steve Kennedy-Williams' recording from her recent Earshot Jazz show at the Barboza - BOOM! That language is called Bethnic. I could never ask for a more awesome musical collaborator/friend than Beth. And she helps everyone in Seattle. She alone is a reason to come to the opera. Happy listening!! about the opera... The Ballad of Ishtar is a contemporary opera that responds to our current worldwide rape culture crisis. In the grand tradition of opera heroines, Ishtar, Babylonian goddess of sex and war, has a fantastic mythology around her: she possesses the power to give or withdraw the gift of sex. Her disgust with the rampant sexual abuse she sees causes her to cut humanity off from all sexual activity, including not only procreation, but all kinds of physical intimacy and hence all interpersonal connectedness. Humanity is in chaos. Ultimately redemptive, the story ends with Ishtar having traveled to the Underworld and back and realizing the beautiful elements of humanity that are worth saving. The work will be premiered in a three evening run at the Chapel Performance Space in Seattle, January, 2015, (part of the Wayward Music Series) by an ensemble featuring alto sax, viola, trumpet, jazz bass, touch guitar, laptop/electronics, prepared guitar and percussion performing live on stage, in addition to the singers and contemporary dancer. The performance partially improvised through the leadership of Wayne Horvitz. In addition to multiple developmental residencies throughout the year, an intensive lead up rehearsal week in the performance space will allow the artists to dial in the technical, electro-acoustic music and improvisational components of the opera, ensuring a successful run of shows. There will be a public Q&A to discuss the principle themes with a live audience. The opera will have a distinctly contemporary look, feel and sound because of the unique vocalists in the group - drawing from Baroque, contemporary classical, soul, noise, rock, gypsy and throat singing - and the improvisational compositional process. Lighting will play the heaviest role in the production's set design and implementation. The opera aims to acknowledge the impact of rape on our individual and collective psyche while emphasizing the beauty and exquisite spiritual aspect of the human body, physical intimacy, vulnerability and communication. The ensemble comprises a diverse group of improvisers/composers/instrumentalists who are exploring the division between improvisation and through-composed music: Wayne Horvitz leads Heather Bentley, violist, vocalist/composer/improviser/clarinetist/electronics artist Beth Fleenor; violinist/dancer/improviser/composer Paris Hurley; Trey Gunn of King Crimson, leading virtuoso on the touch guitar; William Hayes, electronics artist/composer/guitarist who will create a live-electronic soundscape; Grammy award-winning bassist Evan Flory-Barnes, Ivan Arteaga, saxophone, Ahamefule J. Oluo, trumpet and vocalists Jimmie Herrod and okanomode. The collaborative process allows these characters to find their voice and specific music organically, contributing to the expressive power of the opera's message. The drama and cohesion of the opera are anchored by a poetry-based libretto by poet/cellist Rowena Hammill of Trio Pardalote with additional text and storyline by Heather Bentley. Ishtar will be depicted simultaneously by vocalist Beth Fleenor and dancer Paris Hurley, whose work in the ensemble Double Yoko spans a decade. Ishtar's expansiveness warrants depiction by two artists. The Ballad of Ishtar is a deeply relevant work for our time, supported by a cast of generative visionaries interested in exploring the subject matter in greater depth through the power of ensemble. Sally Carey Looking forward to attending. This is important stuff. Tickets can be purchased HERE sliding scale OR take your chances at the door. The Ballad of Ishtar premieres Jan. 22, 23 and 24, @8pm at the Chapel Performance Space Nonsequitur Tax deductible donations to the project can be made at Fractured Atlas	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaCommonCrawl" }
November 2017 \ Interviews \ DIPLOMATIC INTERVIEW "Relations between India and Afghanistan are exceptional" H.E. Mr. Shaida Mohammad Abdali, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in India Established and historical ties between Afghanistan and India have been further boosted after the meeting of H.E. Dr Abdullah Abdullah, Chief Executive of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan with Indian Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi in January-February 2016. What have been the significant developments since? Relations between India and Afghanistan are exceptional and unique as it is based on people to people relations derived from our shared history of culture. These relations were further strengthened after signing the Strategic Partnership Agreement between the two nations. The Afghan Chief Executive Dr. Abdullah Abdullah's visit to India in February 2016 resulted in building multifaceted bilateral cooperation between India and Afghanistan. In this context, the Indian government approved the 3rd phase of Small Development Projects comprising of 92 projects in Afghanistan which were conveyed. Also, both nations agreed to develop the connectivity through Chabahar Port in Iran. Since then the work has been ongoing on these projects and in fact we recently were able to flag off the first Indian shipment of wheat to Afghanistan through Chabahar port in Iran. Also, establishment of Indo-Afghanistan Air Corridor was another achievement which further enhanced the trade ties between the two nations. Tags: Interviews, H.E.

We spent this past weekend doing so many wonderfulhappyfabulous things! That price tag in the upper right corner? Categories art + design, thrifty! When we began work on this room last Fall, it had it all- bright yellow walls, a baseball ceiling fan and a sports wallpaper border (that was eerily still visible on the wall even after being peeled off.) It was the catch-all room we never used- left over from previous owners. Using pieces of furniture & art from around the house, we managed to pull off this remodel on a surprisingly low budget. Below is the transformation from dingy and cluttered to bright, fresh modern guest bedroom & office nook- the perfect addition to our little nest! Our new kitchen chairs from Target's Home Collection arrived this weekend. Fortunately, we are so happy with the chairs & with all that we've done to the house this past week. I'll be back next week with some of the updates. From our nest to yours, happy weekend! Blu Dot's Swap Meet is officially in full swing. Here are just a few ideas, you know, in case you're the kind of guy who loves his girlfriend sooo much that you'd be willing to trade that bottle you found in the dirt right outside The Frank Sinatra Bungalow in Hollywood that was probably even owned by Frank Sinatra himself for a One Night Stand Sleeper Sofa. For the rest of you furniture aficionados, head on over to Blu Dot and see what you can get in return for your talents, devices, oddities, deeds or taxidermy.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Books, market reports, are maps. Accu-Trade is VIN specific navigation. Accu-trade is the transparent ignition switch to any marketplace...wholesale, retail, auction, online or in lane, diminished value calculation (guarantee), which is agnostic and actionable. If you put the wrong address in navigation it will take you to the wrong place, similarly, Accu-trade is sensitive to accurate input of a few well defined VIN specific details:, color, smell, value impact options/physical characteristics (clearly defined on the site), previous paint, which combined create a VIN specific "pedigree". This pedigree remains as the DNA(details never asked) of the VIN. Accu-trade's pedigree report (Universal Condition Report/UCR)can be accessed and modified by any authorized subscriber throughout the trade-in, transport, re-marketing, auction, arbitration process, future Diminished Value calculation and archiving. Like a "one write" checkbook, transparency is absolute, fundamental, and unique. By default, the product quantifies all information required by OMVIC and lending regulators. There is little "wiggle room" left for interpretation. Accu-trade's transparent value impact price adjustments, each showing the associated value add or deduct, remain logical/irrefutable which enable logical conversation with your customer. Accu-trade enables/determines a transparent Diminished Value Calculation Report resulting from accidents for insurance claims. The report gives a guaranteed pre and post incident purchase offer that determines the exact diminished value. This is available to law firms as well as dealers, lease companies, and OEMs. The Accu-trade process insures full compliance with OMVIC and any other compliance request when the user takes a few seconds to input vin specific disclosures that can be used in audit and can be accessed remotely. By having your customer sign our time, date, location stamped report, we archive each transaction that can be accessed by an inspector in office…or remotely. This will save every dealer from associated aggravation and panic attacks when the inspection is scheduled. The Accu-trade lead generation widget for the user's website is unique to the industry. Among the items that differentiate Accu-trade it can be set to be a guaranteed value directly to any consumer. Obviously this has never been done in Canada. It is instant and totally transparent. To insure transparency, the product enables modifications for instances where the description from the retail customer has, by intent or oversight, entered inaccurate or incomplete information. Using any mobile device, the dealer modified information co-validates the inspected, current condition. The dealer website lead generator/ trade valuation product is built to recognize and enable modification to the subscriber's needs. It can create a trade-in range that matches the dealer's profile. The rooftop can increase or decrease the consumer facing "offer". Depending on a dealer's profile, business acumen/inclination, which obviously varies based on location, brand, the dealer can "white label" and modify what they want to offer their customer. *this can only be done if Accu-trade is not referenced on line or at the dealership. Accu-trade builds a dealer/user profile that determines predictive activity based on their use. Part of the "one write" analogy it requires no second action from the user. It proactively adjusts as the user changes inventory needs, buying or selling. This process is patent pending that we believe will permanently disrupt the re-marketing process as we know it. The founders and Accu-trade team and re-marketing support have been in the wholesale valuation/re-marketing industry cumulatively over 1,200 years (seems ridiculous but it is true, my name is Robert Hollenshead, not Methuselah).	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
I clarify and analyze the cause behind the problems before I start thinking about the solutions. I believe that clearly understanding the problem is the first and most important step in finding the right solution. I don't react to issues. I gather facts, analyze and develop most sensible and appropriate action plan based on analysis, knowledge and experience. I value the quality of work more than the volume of work. I want to feel proud in what I do and put my name on, rather than just getting the work done as much as possible. I take responsibilities for my mistakes and learn from it. I don't just sit back and not bother trying because of fear of making mistakes. Nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. I believe that making mistakes is just part of learning. We will fall in our journey but will get up together much stronger each time. I am a thinker and planner but more importantly I am a doer who is ready to get hands dirty and work together with the team to get the job done. I enjoy walking with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the doers and the problem solvers who are honest, open minded and believe in "We are in it together, let's work together to make it happen!". I believe in beauty of simplicity. Breaking down the complexity, making things clear and simple allows us to identify what is necessary and important, and focus our energy on those important things to get the job done. I believe that there is no 'team' without trust and respect. I work on building trust and respect by being honest, doing my best and listening to others. I believe that collaboration happens naturally when the team build the trust and respect for each other. Are you one of them? Let's connect! I am a listener, analytical/logical thinker, technology generalist, problem solver and the doer with heads in the clouds and feet on the ground. I would LOVE, LOVE to walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the doers, the problem solvers and the listeners who are open minded for changes, and believe in "We are in it together, let's go!". If you are one of them, let's connect – https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahchun/. I think they are very similar, here is why…! It's been a while since I've posted something with my techie hat on, so I decided to share couple diagrams I've created to explain how SAML works for those who may not know what SAML is and are wondering. 🙂 Hope you find it useful. What is SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)? It's an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider.

Chapters 7-8 Summary and Analysis After several days in scenic Canberra, Bryson sets out across more desolate land toward Adelaide. He tries to enjoy the confusing banter of cricket on the radio, and stops for the night in the desert town of Hay, where he looks in vain for kangaroos in the barren land surrounding the town. The land around Hay was not always barren. In the nineteenth century, a man named Thomas Austin unwittingly devastated millions of acres of greenery by releasing English rabbits to hunt for sport. This was followed by a decade-long drought, from which the region has never recovered. Bryson soon arrives in the verdant, rolling hills of the Barossa Valley, which makes quite a contrast to the barren land he has been driving through for days. He describes this land as almost Eden-like, with lush hills covered in citrus...

Recent work notwithstanding, as controversial statements go, "Robert De Niro is one of the world's great actors" is still as tame as it gets. The number of epic films on his resume are almost too many to list, let alone watch in one sitting. Can you imagine a De Niro marathon with Young Vito Corleone himself? That's just what Santander appears to offer up in its newest spot, part of a $200 million rebranding blitz that will include TV and print ads, sports sponsorships, new products, donations to nonprofits, and more to raise its profile in the U.S. Turns out though, ol' Bobby D might not be the best flick buddy. In this spot by Arnold Worldwide and directed by Jim Jenkins (who is no stranger to Goodfellas, having directed Martin Scorsese in an Amex spot) shows the downside–the constant talking, the criticism, the threats of imminent violence.

Let me start off by making this very clear; we are in the Wild West of cryptocurrency times. Coins are skyrocketing and then taking a bloodbath the next day, ICO's raise million in funding then explode from within (looking at you Tezos!), and new ERC-20 tokens seem to pop up every single day. All this while governments and banks struggle to catch up with cryptocurrency. Needless to say, there is a lot going on in the cryptosphere at all times. I know the first ICO I participated in was NOT very clear on how to go about claiming my new tokens. This is why I decided to put together this tutorial to show you how to find your ERC-Tokens and keep them secure. The first time I bought into an ICO was a bit unnerving to say the least! A website says "Send ETH to this address and we promise to send you these other tokens". It can feel like a bit of a crap shoot to be sure, but if you have done your homework and truly believe in the project it should mostly work out for you. Once I DID send my ETH I realized, where do my tokens actually go?? Maybe they don't even ask for a deposit wallet that supports your new token, so how do I access my new ERC-20 tokens? Stay calm! Your tokens are out there on the Ethereum blockchain and still safe. You most likely already set yourself up for a win on this one and you don't even know it. To even participate in an ICO or to buy tokens you need an Ether wallet that supports ERC20 tokens to make your purchase. If you send ETH for a token purchase your new token will now be tied to the private key of the wallet you sent the ETH from. You will need a few pieces of information to accomplish and this is where Etherscan.io comes in. You can use this great website Etherscan.io to find the information about your token, including the contract address which will be necessary to find your tokens! This is a great free resource for finding token information and when I bout my first ICO tokens I went here to find my token's contract address. Just toss in the name of the token in the search box and you should get a suggestion for your token. It will show you that all important "contract address" for your token. In my case it was for NDC and the contract address is 0xa54ddc7b3cce7fc8b1e3fa0256d0db80d2c10970. Copy this info and lets save it for the next step. Now that we have the contract address for the token we can import our tokens into our wallet. Of course you need an Ethereum wallet that supports ERC20 tokens, and not every wallet does. After looking at the popular options like MyEtherWallet, Parity, & MetaMask I decided to go with the popular Chrome/Firefox extension MetaMask as my Ether wallet of choice. This is where I initially sent my ETH to and then made my token purchase also from this same wallet. Which ever ERC20 supported wallet you decided to go with, all of them will need that "contract address" to import your tokens. In MetaMask I went to my "Tokens" section and added a new token by entering in the contact address for my token. VICTORY! Success! We were able to add our tokens to our wallet! Buying ERC-20 tokens can be a bit stressful if you think that your coins are lost to the Nothing. My advice is to always purchase your tokens from a token enabled wallet like MetaMask in the first place and it makes finding your tokens a lot easier. No matter what, your tokens are out there, they just need to be added to your wallet using the contract address of that specific token. Now that you know how to successfully find your tokens, go forth and snap up those great ICO deals before that early bird beats you to the punch. ICO's can be tricky to navigate and carry a lot of risk, but as long as you do your own research and believe in the project the possible returns can certainly be worth it! 'Stache Those Tokens To The MOOOOoooon! I think I actually have some missing erc20 tokens… Will try this tutorial tomorrow on a real computer. Thanks Stache! Happy to help! Hopefully you find those tokens! Also, a good way to find any airdropped coins you might have gotten without knowing it. I will cover airdrops in an upcoming post! Ok, I have my Token on MetaMask.. now how do I manage the Token? I have BQX in my wallet but MetaMask only lets me send ETH. Yeah I love MetaMask, but the one feature they don't support yet is native sending of tokens from their platform. I found this great step-by-step tutorial on how to send your ERC-20 tokens from your MetaMask to a MyEthereumWallet. I only planned on sitting on my tokens, but I guess if you want to trade them then perhaps MyEtherWallet is a better choice. Hope this helps! Hi. I would like to ask something. I made a stupid mistake and didnt read properly the ico instructions so I send my ether from my ledger nano s wallet and bigger mistake writing receiving adress for the tokens i will get at the same ledger nano ether wallet. So now my bitdegree tokens are stuck somewhere and I really dont know how to fix this… do you have any suggestion. Is there a possibility to solve this? To clarify things. I was buying an ico token Bitdegree on ethereum platform. Typically if you send coins to a wrong address there is NO getting them back. Sorry! Hi Stanley, I am actually working on a My Ethereum Wallet article that might help with this. Look for it soon! different ICOs (tokens i guess). I have a eth wallet but how can I transfer tokens directly to ethereum? should I use a different wallet everytime I buy an ICO ? Hi, tokens just WORK on ethereum and you would have to exchange them for ETH if that is what you wanted. If it is an ERC20 token you don't need multiple wallets as a wallet that supports ERC20 tokens should support the coin. question. i sent my CRPT tokens to my ETH wallet in Coinbase. I can see the transaction on the https://etherscan.io/ but how to i pull it to another wallet that will show my tokens. Hi Angelique, Coinbase does not support ERC-20 tokens. You have to have an ETH wallet that specifically supports these tokens. Your tokens may very well be lost. There is no way to "unsend" these tokens and if you send tokens to a wrong address the may be unrecoverable forever. I would reach out to both CRPT and Coinbase support for help in the matter. So I think I did something even more silly. I purchased tokens without even setting up a wallet for ETC. Can I now set up a wallet from Metamask and transfer the tokens into there? Boy! What a learning curve this is! Hi Louise, yes if you purchased your ETC on an exchange you should be able to move it to your own wallet. If you don't have a good wallet already, I would actually recommend going with Exodus instead of Metamaks for storing ETC in particular. Hi Steve, so Etherscan.io is just an online tool for looking at the Ethereum blockchain. It does NOT hold your ERC-20 tokens. I love Exodus wallet, but it is not a good place to keep your ERC-20 tokens. I suggest using Metamask or leaving them with MyEtherWallet. Hello, I think I made a mistake and purchase ERC-20 tokens "XYO" from my ethereum wallet in exodus. I can see the transfer in etherscan.io and would like to know if I can somehow export them into Metamask or MyEtherWallet. If so, how would I do that? Hi Mel, yes you can do that. Just look for the XYO token on etherscan.io and copy the "contract" number and then paste that into your Metamask and you should see the tokens show up there as well. I am not sure how you purchased an ERC-20 token from within Exodus as it does not allow that feature. Hi Anthony, so you sent 1 ETH to purchase tokens and it left your Meta Mask and you could see your tokens in Meta Mask, then 2 days later your original ETH you used for the purchase was back in your wallet and you had no XYO tokens? If this is the case then they may have refunded your token purchase. If that original ETH is not what is back in your Meta Mask then I would try to add the token contract directly to Meta Mask and see if they come up. Good luck! Hi,I would like to know why is it when you sign up for some airdrops and you put your correct ETH address to receive your ER20 tokens it says ETH address is wrong yet it is the correct address.This does not make any sence to me,can you tell me why this happens if you know. Hey Frank, this is hard to say. It could be because the address you used is from a wallet or application that does not support ERC20 tokens as not all Ethereum wallets do. Which wallet where you using? Hello, I hope you can help me. I probably made a big mistake. I used the Etherscan address to have tokens sent which I bought in different ICO's. I can see the tokens on Etherscan, but how can I now transfer them to MetaMask? The address on Etherscan is different from the MetaMask wallet. Hi Adriana, sorry to hear this! If you used an address that was NOT your own as you say then there is probably no getting these tokens back. Have you tried the steps in this article to add the contract addresses for those tokens to your Metamask wallet? Thank you for your reply 🙂 But there's a misunderstanding, the etherscan address is my own, it's my Exodus address. I'd like to know if I can send the tokens I have in Etherscan to a MetaMask wallet. In the instructions is says to use MyEtherWallet, but I would use MyCrypto.com instead as it is the updated version of MyEtherWallet and is easier to use. Hope that helps! The 'Stache is here to help! This article helps the most basic investor. Where do you find your tokens if you have done 3000 airdrops? One investment is easy. When you have 3000 I can't be checking 3000 telegram channels on the off chance that they offer the token addy which you generally have to ask for. SOMEONE FILL THIS NEED AND YOU WILL BE RICH. ALL TOKEN ADDY'S IN ONE PLACE. One list! that is basically what you can do on Etherscan, any Ethereum based token you can search for there and it gives you the token address. I recently transferred my 0x tokens from my exchange wallet to what I thought was my MTM 0x wallet, but was in reality the 0x CONTRACT address. I can see the transaction on Etherscan and that the coins are sitting in the 0x Contract address. However, they don't seem to be aware of it. It's all business as usual from their side -_-. Is there any way I can get in touch with the team managing that contract address so that they can redirect the tokens to my MTM 0x wallet? If so, how? Hi Nann, sorry to hear this! That is a tricky situation, I would certainly recommend getting in touch with their team about it. You would be surprised how responsive some of these projects actually are. You might also see if the exchange you sent from can help as well (although this is a long shot). Hope that helps!	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Posts Tagged 'F.O.D.' Israelis Take A Stand Against Russia Posted by Anthony Peoples in Uncategorized. Tagged: F.O.D., homophobia, Israel, Red Flag, Russia. Leave a comment As you know from reading my blog, I've been very outspoken against Russia's homophobic laws and the 2014 Sochi Olympics. There's now a new Israeli campaign speaking out about the bloodshed and violence against the LGBT community in Russia. "Red Flag", similar to the American NOH8 campaign, was started by David and Jonathan, the publisher of the international lifestyle magazine, "F.O.D.", for the Tel-Aviv gay man community. Actors, singers, activists, drag queens, and the LGBT community were encouraged to take part in the photo shoot wearing Russian army uniforms with blood coming out of their mouths to bring attention to the violence brought against Russian and Ukrainian LGBT people. Organizers say, "Russia 2013 is a death trap for the LGBT community. This discriminating law is backed up with aggressive enforcement by the army and the police. Arresting activists in the LGBT community or any person suspected of being involved in "propaganda" has become a normal routine. This law refers to tourists from out-of-state and even athletes participating in the winter Olympics."

I hope you're having a great week and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Here are my random Friday thoughts. GREETINGS FROM "MUSIC CITY USA"! When we left the Quad Cities Wednesday, it was 47° and we drove seven hours to Grand Rivers, Kentucky, to check out the Christmas lights and have dinner at my favorite restaurant, Patti's 1880's and the temperature there was 72°. That's my dinner. It's called "Ella Mae's Chicken": freshly grilled asparagus over grilled chicken breast topped with black forest ham and sautéed mushrooms covered in homemade cheese sauce. This was after appetizers of homemade cheese sticks and a blossoming onion and before we ate dessert! On Thursday, we drove the final two hours to Nashville, Tennessee, dropping my sister off in Clarksville, about an hour northwest of Nashville, so she could spend the weekend with her kids and two granddaughters. REBA EXHIBIT Our first stop in Nashville before checking into the Opryland Hotel was a visit to the Reba McEntire exhibit, "All The Women I Am", at the Country Music Hall of Fame. These are various "Fancy" performance dresses. IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOTEL THE ROCKETTES' Last night, we saw the "Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes". The sets were incredible and the dancing was festive and fun. Sadly, no pictures were allowed! REST OF THE WEEKEND PLANS Tonight, in a major ice storm, we'll see "Lorrie Morgan's Enchanted Christmas & Dinner Show". Tomorrow, it's a lunch cruise on the Cumberland River on the General Jackson and tomorrow night, Opry at the Ryman, with Vince Gill, Kathy Mattea, Chris Carmack (who plays Will Lexington on ABC's "Nashville") and many others. SINGER BECOMES BIG TIME SONG WRITER 25-year-old Texan Shane McAnally was signed to Curb Records and released his first single, "Say Anything" in 1999, which peaked at #41. The follow-up single, "Are Your Eyes Still Blue" was his only Top 40 country hit, peaking at #31. I loved both of those songs and I was probably one of the few people who took a chance on the newcomer and bought his debut and only album. After that, Shane dropped off the radar and moved to West Hollywood, California, and started bartending and performing as "Shane Mack". In California, Shane was able to be openly gay. Since he started living his life openly, he married his partner of six years, Michael Baum, in September 2012, and the couple welcomed a daughter and a son in December of last year. I was pleasantly surprised this fall to see "Entertainment Weekly" give Shane the much overdue recognition that he deserves. Shane returned to Nashville in a big way in 2008 as a co-writer of LeAnn Womack's Top 15 hit, "Last Call". Since then, he has written #1 songs for Kenny Chesney, Jake Owens, The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, and Miranda Lambert. He also penned three songs for Reba McEntire's 2010 album, "All The Women I Am" album. And, this year, he co-produced my favorite country album 0f 2013, the #1 "Same Trailer Different Park" by Kacey Musgraves. Shane, I wish you, Michael, and your children much happiness in 2014 and here's to continued success in country music. I hope to hear more of your singing in the future, too. MEANWHILE, NOT SO GOOD TENNESSEE NEWS While we're having a good time in Nashville, a recent report from "24/7 Wall Street" doesn't paint a rosy picture of Tennessee, ranking it as "the most dangerous state" in the United States. It's followed by Nevada, Alaska, New Mexico, South Carolina, Delaware, Louisiana, Florida, Maryland, and Oklahoma! The site ranks Tennessee #1 for aggravated assaults and in the top ten for murders and robbery. In 2012, there were 388 murders, which is up for the second straight year. Across the nation, Memphis ranks fifth and Nashville is at #18 for violent crimes. Take this ranking and the information from "24/7 Wall Street" with a grain of salt, since the "Crime in Chicago" website reported 537 murders in the "Windy City" in 2012. (As of December 1st, the site reports there have been 422 murders in Chicago in 2013.) ICE STORM SOUTH, SNOW IN THE QUAD CITIES Two rounds of ice will be heavily glazing the Nashville, Tennessee, area tonight and, again, Saturday night. It's going to get scary down here. Meanwhile, on Sunday, several inches of snow are expected in the Quad Cities. It looks like, at least, two inches are likely. I'll have more on this tomorrow to keep you ahead of the snow in Illinois and Iowa. FRESH VENDING MACHINE SALAD I know it's easy to grab fast food or something out a vending machine when you're working and eat it at your desk. However, if you had the option, would you choose a fresh salad from a vending machine for a healthy alternative? That is the option for people living or working near the Loop in Chicago near Clark and Lake. Farmer's Fridge has installed its first vending machine salad, fruits, and vegetables prepared fresh daily and packaged in recyclable plastic jar. The $8 salads are available at 10 a.m. and come in seven varieties including North Napa, Mediterranean, Crunchy Thai, The Cheater, and three other flavors. The dressings include lemon tahini, spicy soy peanut, red wine vinaigrette, and four other flavors. As you know from reading my blog, I've been very outspoken against Russia's homophobic laws and the 2014 Sochi Olympics, which are two months away. There's now a new Israeli campaign speaking out about the bloodshed and violence against the LGBT community in Russia. Earlier in the blog, I profiled Shane McAnally and mentioned that he co-produced Kacey Musgraves' debut album. He also co-wrote nine of the album's twelve songs, including the first three singles: "Merry Go Round" (#14), "Blowin' Smoke" (#31 peak), and her current single, "Follow Your Arrow",which is at #28. "Follow Your Arrow" is witty and poignant. Here's a sample of the lyrics: "You're damned if you do/and you're damned if you don't/so you might as well do whatever you want, so make lots of noise/kiss lots of boys/kiss lots of girls/if that's something you're into" Cheers, Kacey & Shane! "And, the Academy Award for Best Actor Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyers Club". The movie is based on a true story. Ron Woodruff was a homophobic, hard-living, good ol' Texas boy who loved his liquor, drugs, and women. In 1986, he was diagnosed with AIDS and told that he had 30 days to live. He tried to get on the AZT trials that were being rushed onto the market to fight the AIDS pandemic. Since he was denied that opportunity, Woodruff started buying it on the black market. When he almost died, he came up with a plan to smuggle medications out of Mexico to try to stay alive. Since Ron couldn't sell the drugs, he started a membership only "buyers club" to distribute the Food & Drug Administration-unapproved medication. McConaughey, who plays Woodruff, lost about 50 pounds for the role and his co-star, Jared Leto, who plays transgender AIDS patient, Rayon, who befriends Woodruff, lost about 40 pounds for the role. Both actors were electrifying and sold the story. After initially gasping at McConaughey's first appearance in the movie, I was sold for the next two hours that both actors were HIV-positive people fighting for their lives, while the government dragged its feet. If you lived through the 1980s and saw friends getting sick and dying, you saw those friends in Ron and Rayon. If you know people who have become HIV-positive in the past decade, where with medication, healthier living, diet, and exercise, it's become a manageable disease, there's a sense of relief that AIDS is no longer a certain death sentence. CHRISTMAS PICK HIT I just added "A Mary Christmas" by Mary J. Blige and "Christmas, With Love" by British singer Leona Lewis to my holiday collection this week. Leona's fourth album and her first Christmas colelction featured seven classics and three new songs, including the first single, "One More Sleep". Many of you probably remember Leona from her debut #1 single in 2008, "Bleeding Love" and its followup, "Better In Time". While I love "Dexter", "The Walking Dead" and "American Horror Story", love stories are at the top of my list, too. "Pretty Woman" (1990), "Latter Days" (2003), "Shelter" (2007), "Weekend" (2011), and "Out in the Dark" (2012) are the ones that I can watch over and over and over. Shane Mack (Shane McAnally) performed five songs on the "Shelter" soundtrack and since I'm in Nashville and I'm a strong advocate for being out and proud, here's another one from Shane. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND Have a fantastic weekend and I appreciate you checking out my random thoughts this week. Let me know what you think. Bundle up if you live across the eastern part of the country. It's going to be cold.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaCommonCrawl" }
Volition – Review A small time criminal with clairvoyant powers tries to changes his fate when he has a vision of his own death in Volition. Since he was a kid, James (Adrian Glynn McMorran) has had the ability to see events before they happened. James' visions are useful to to local criminal Ray (John Cassini), who wants James to hold on to a stash of diamonds until he has a vision of their safe passage. However, it turns out that Ray's cousin Sal (Frank Cassini) and henchman Terry (Aleks Paunovic) plan to steal the diamonds that James has a vision of himself being shot dead. James proceeds to go on the run with Angela, a girl he just met who also appears in his visions, to get help from Elliott (Bill Marchant), who has tried to help James with his condition since he was a boy. Volition is a science fiction thriller from South African-born brothers writer-director Tony Dean Smith and writer-producer Ryan W. Smith. We are introduced to the protagonist James Odin as a man who lives a relatively carefree existence since he has the ability to see events of his life happen before they occur. James is haunted by the fact that he was unable to prevent his mother from dying in a car crash when he was 7-years-old, leading to a lifelong belief that all of his visions come true. This makes things extra concerning for James when he sees a vision of his own murder. Volition starts off seeming like it's a basic crime thriller, with a slight science fiction element. However, Volition really ramps up the science fiction in the second half of the film, as we learn about the true nature of James' clairvoyant abilities and how his visions come to light. At the very least, the writing of the Smith Brothers should be praised for not making the events of the film too confusing to fully comprehend. While I will say that the science fiction elements of Volition work, the crime thriller plot of the film is quite basic, with the diamonds that James is told to look after being little more than a MacGuffin. The local crime boss Ray is practically an idiot, with the true antagonist of the film being Ray's scheming cousin Sal, who is always accompanied by his heavy Terry, played by quite prominent Canadian character actor Aleks Paunovic (Puppet Killer). The character of Elliott, played by Bill Marchant (Chappie), is primarily in the film to be an exposition machine, while the sole female protagonist of the film Angela, played by Magda Apanowicz, doesn't really have much to do after the first act of the film, other than being someone that James is trying to save. Overall, I will say that Volition is a mediocre crime thriller that is elevated by a better-than-average science fiction element.

Understanding how the PoPI act protects private information. Is your clients and employees' personal information safe and secure? The PoPI – Protection of Personal Information Act regulates the amount and type of private citizens' information that your company may process. When your clients and staff provide you with their personal information, it needs to be fully protected to ensure that their legal right to privacy is adhered to. As a business you are required to comply with these constitutional obligations, and in this digital age you need to be fully prepared. Information flies around the internet faster than the speed of light, so you need optimal network support and security. The act regulates how companies and public bodies manage and protect personal information. These organisations are not allowed to sell private information for monetary gain, and there are strict guidelines in place that need to be adhered to when dealing with confidential data. PoPI was signed into law in 2013, but has yet to come into effect. Here's what you need to know before it does. PoPI is designed to regulate the processing of personal information. The act focusses on ensuring companies don't retain, unlawfully gain, or gather excessive amounts of personal information to use or abuse for their personal objectives. Companies are required to show complete transparency when collecting and using data, and they are required to take full security measures to protect this collation of private data. Signed into law on 9 November 2013 and published in the government gazette on 26 November 2013, the Protection of Personal Information Act is still coming into effect, but the consensus is that companies will be given one year's grace in which to fully comply. There are penalties for non-compliance, which can hugely impact business operation. Now would be a good time to get your network and online security up to date. Gather only the information you require for a specific purpose. Apply full security measures to protect the information you acquire. Information needs to be up to date. Amassing information for future use is not allowed. Take what you need and use it only for the time period in which you need it. Unique identification – such as IDs, passport details etc. Full employment history, including financials, medical, etc. Any opinions related to you. Your client and employees have a constitutional right to privacy, and your company is legally required to ensure they enjoy that right. To ensure your company is PoPI compliant, contact Evolv Networks, the network support and upgrade professionals who stay on top of regulations that apply to all digital networking.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }

Just over two years ago the Veterans Affairs Department released a strategy for ending the disability claims backlog. Today, the VA is little more than two months away from the deadline it set -- the end of Fiscal Year 2015 -- but currently has just under 128,000 backlogged claims. "Maybe they'll be able to get there by the end of the calendar year. I seriously doubt they'll get there by end of September," said Gerald Manar, Veterans of Foreign Wars deputy director of national services. That's also the view of The American Legion, where Deputy Director of Claims Zach Hearn notes VA officials have tried to squeeze in additional time by changing the target date. "They've flip-flopped with the dates ... by saying the end of 2015, the end of the calendar year," Hearn told Military.com. During hearings, officials would begin talking calendar year as the goal, he said, "and soon everybody was shifting to calendar year." According to the VA's own strategy paper, published in January 2013, Sept. 30 is when the backlog is supposed to be at zero. In a statement released to Military.com on Friday, the VA offered its explanation for the different end-dates. It said then-VA Secretary Eric Shinseki established the calendar year end of 2015 as the goal. According to the plan as currently detailed by VBA Deputy Under Secretary Beth McCoy on Performance.gov -- an Obama administration website detailing government actions -- the deadline remains Sept. 30. According to the VA's latest numbers, 127,916 veterans have been awaiting a decision on their claim longer than 125 days – the VA-stipulated point at which a claim enters the backlog. Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki established the 125-day mark in 2010, effectively creating an "official" backlog even as he promised to eliminate it. The VA had always had had an inventory of pending claims, though until Shinseki the VA never defined it. Instead, officials said in a January 2013 strategy for tackling the problem, "a backlog ... was ambiguously defined and sometimes confused with inventory." In that same strategy document the department said there would be no claims pending longer than 125 days by Sept. 30, 2015. The VA said it "continues working toward eliminating the backlog in 2015" and provided a lengthy list of accomplishments demonstrating progress against the backlog, as well as improved efficiencies within VA in how it processes claims. The current backlog of slightly fewer than 128,000 is in contrast to its high point of 611,000 in March 2013, it said. "In 2015 veterans wait, on average, 163 fewer days for a claim decision than veterans in 2013. In addition to increased production, claims processing accuracy improved from 83 percent in June 2011 to 91 percent today," according to the statement. The VFW's Manar concedes that the VA has made the effort and done a great deal of work. It just won't be enough to meet its Sept. 30 deadline, he believes. Additionally, the resources it put to tackling the backlog caused a spike in other kinds of claims that it also has to get under control. "They have let appeals [claims] go up by 100,000 or more cases in the last three years. They let the number of dependency adjustments skyrocket ... from about 40,000 to over 140,000," he said. "So they've made some advancements, certainly, through a lot of hard work, but at a cost of a lot of other work." Neither Manar nor Hearn believes the VA will get its claims processing accuracy rate up to 98 percent by Sept. 30. It's now at 91 percent. Hearn said the department would have to triple the number of people it has handling them to bring it up that high. Says Manar: "Privately, [VA officials] will tell you that won't be achieved this year." When Shinseki set his goals he was "being aspirational," Manar said. "He set a high bar for the department. And somewhere over the years, as he continued to beat that drum and the people under him beat it, it turned from aspirational to a solid commitment," Manar said.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Halftime Report \| Mental health in the sports world "Get your head in the game." But, what happens when your head is literally keeping you out of it? The longstanding negative stigma surrounding mental health is one that is prevalent not only in the Black community, but in the world of advanced athletics, as well. By Nasheena Quick "Halftime Report" is REVOLT's new bi-weekly sports column. Here, fans of games will find all of the unfiltered sports news that they can't get anywhere else. From professional sports to college sports, and from game recaps to athletes' latest moves and updates, "Halftime Report" is the place for sports commentary that you need. "Get your head in the game." It's a phrase many athletes have heard at some point in their careers. Be it Pop Warner, high school, collegiate, or professional sports, you've either been the recipient or a witness to said message. But, what happens when your head is literally keeping you out of the game, out of everyday life, and so on and so forth? The longstanding negative stigma surrounding mental health is one that is prevalent not only in the Black community, but in the world of advanced athletics, as well. We often marvel at the physical strength and skills of some of our favorite athletes, but many are fighting battles beyond the court, field, or other venue. While some professional sports associations are starting to take steps to rectify the stigma and offer support, there remains a lot of work to be done. When we think of athletic "martyrs," the most recent to come to mind is Colin Kaepernick who sacrificed his NFL career to protest systemic racism and police brutality. In regard to mental health, we can talk about former NBA player Royce White. White may not be much of a household name as his professional career ended almost as soon as it began. The Houston Rockets drafted the athlete with the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. A Minneapolis native, he was a highly regarded hooper who went on to star at both Minnesota and Iowa State. Standing 6'8 and possessing the strength to score in the paint as well as the court vision of a point guard, White was heralded as the "mystery pick" of the Draft. He was a mystery beyond the court, as well. Having publicly disclosed his generalized anxiety disorder during college made the moniker a double entendre. You see, the NBA had not quite grasped how to support players dealing with psychological issues. White got off to a bit of a rocky start when he missed the opening of NBA camp due to what he described as his desire to have a contractual plan to address the lack of a league wide mental health policy in place. He also requested, and was granted, permission to travel by bus instead of plane as flying had been an anxiety trigger for him in the past. The ask was ridiculed and mocked, earning White the reputation of the player who was afraid to fly – a telling attribute of ignorance on GAD and other anxiety disorders. Once the season started, the athlete found himself at odds with the Rockets organization when he expressed that he felt team executives were not qualified to make decisions regarding mental health as they had not undergone any training to do so. After a lot of back and forth, including White's initial refusal to accept an assignment to the Rockets' D-League team, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. After being waived by the Sixers, the star signed two 10-day contracts with the Sacramento Kings and played his first career NBA game in March 2014. He was waived at the conclusion of the second contract, ending his NFL career. After a few stints overseas, White was back playing professionally in the United States in the summer of 2019. However, this league was a little different. It was Ice Cube's BIG3 – a professional 3-on-3 league that traveled through the summer. This was when we really got the scoop on the real Royce White. In a sit-down interview after his team's win in Birmingham, Alabama, he offered a different perspective than the narrative that had been perpetuated in the media. "Here's the reality. The whole anxiety/flying this was overshot. It was overblown. It was a diversion. I challenged the league about mental health policy. I challenged the fact that I believe wholly that they're a global corporate community or they represent one. There's not many industries that aren't involved in the NBA or in pro sports and like I've said many times, given that, their attitude toward mental health — which is another word for the human condition — is paramount. It's paramount. There's nothing more important than how the corporate world feels about people. That was my challenge to them and the scapegoat that they could create, because it made for good headlines, is, 'Oh he's scared to fly' or 'His anxiety is preventing him from playing.'" White went on to work with the BIG3 to create "Be Well" – a comprehensive mental health policy. One could argue that with his new platform, he spurred the NBA to revamp its own policy that was originally adopted in 2018. In the fall of 2019, the league hosted a mandatory health and wellness meeting for team executives and providers where they set formal requirements for all 30 teams. New rules were put into place requiring each club to add at least one full-time licensed mental health professional — a psychologist or behavioral therapist — to their full-time staff. Teams were also required to retain a licensed psychiatrist to assist when needed. In light of the current pandemic and its emotional toll, the league is urging teams to make an even bigger commitment toward providing resources to players and staff. Even still, the stigma still looms large over the subject, much like the dark cloud hovering over our favorite childhood cartoons to express when they were feeling any inkling of sadness. It's the stigma that once again reared its ugly head when Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving missed seven games during what he described as a much needed "pause." "There are so many oppressed communities, so many things going on that are just bigger than a ball going in the rim," said the 28-year-old. He also disclosed that he had "a lot of family and personal" issues to deal with. Irving was bashed by those who, for lack of better words, would prefer he just shut up and dribble. Although he is paid millions to play a game, at the end of the day, he is still a Black man in America and that comes with its daily battle as well, with no regards to social status, fame, or money. It came as no surprise that Charles Barkley, who has a penchant for making the most asinine comments on a consistent basis, referred to Irivng as "one of the most miserable people [he] has ever seen." When league commissioner Adam Silver suggested that people who have money and success are not immune to mental health problems, Barkley called his comments "stupid." "I think that's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard Adam say," the retired athlete said. "Listen, he's a great guy. But, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard any commissioner say. "These guys are making 20, 30 40 million dollars a year. They work six, seven months a year. We stay at the best hotels in the world. They ain't got no problems. That's total bogus." While Barkley is one of the most visible figures spouting this nonsense, he is not alone in this philosophy – which is why it is of utmost importance to continue to educate and encourage those with a platform to speak out on the taboo subject. Usually ahead of the game in many aspects, the WNBA actually has a bit of work to do when it comes to this area. Liz Cambage, one of the game's brightest stars, wrote about her desire for the league to follow the NBA lead in establishing a plan of care in an editorial for The Players Tribune. The ball player has been open about her struggles with depression and she is not alone. Former legend Chamique Holdsclaw has also been vocal in sharing her struggles. Teams have adopted their own individual initiatives, but there has been no league-wide policy implemented, which comes as a bit of a shock given the WNBA's progressive measures in other areas. Much like the NBA, the NFL has taken recent measures to prioritize mental health in the past couple of years. The Behavioral Health Agreement established jointly by the NFL and NFLPA (NFL Players Association) in 2019 mandated the development of team-specific mental health emergency action plans and required all teams to retain a behavioral health team clinician. At the beginning of the 2020 season, under the agreement, teams will provide mandatory education for all players and league personnel on an ongoing basis while ensuring player confidentiality and working to de-stigmatize the subject. The deconstruction of a long-held social taboo will take a while, but there is no more time to waste. With all of the other factors threatening the peace of mind of the Black community on a daily basis, we cannot afford to allow this silent killer to continue to run rampant without doing our part to recognize it, research it, and work together to defeat it. After all, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

TUCSON—The ACLU of Arizona and two University of Arizona law professors filed a public information lawsuit today against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for records relating to U.S. Border Patrol's interior enforcement operations in southern Arizona. DHS has completely ignored two requests (here and here) for public information relating to Border Patrol's roving patrols and checkpoints in the Tucson and Yuma sectors. The requests were filed in January by attorney James Lyall, of the ACLU's Border Litigation Project, and Derek and Jane Bambauer, professors at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. Border Patrol conducts extensive and wide-ranging interior enforcement operations far from the border in southern Arizona. The ACLU believes many of these operations are unlawful. The lawsuit filed today seeks agency policies, stop data and complaints, among other things, about checkpoints and roving patrols. The ACLU has documented numerous cases of civil liberties abuses by Border Patrol agents at checkpoints and in roving patrols in southern Arizona: unlawful vehicle stops and searches, excessive use of force, racial profiling, destruction of private property and trespassing. Past public information requests, in Washington and New York, have uncovered widespread abuses by Border Patrol agents, including racial profiling and detention of lawfully present individuals. A review of public information about Border Patrol operations in southern Arizona is necessary to better understand the extent of the civil liberties violations along the Arizona border.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Goa is a state in West India with 2 Lok Sabha seats, both of which had been bagged by the Bharatiya Janata party in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, with a vote share of 54.1 per cent. Shripad Yesso Naik of the BJP won the North Goa seat, and Narendra Keshav Sawaikar of the party was victorious on the South Goa seat. The Indian National Congress was second with a 37 per cent vote share, though it failed to win either seat. At the time of the previous general elections in 2014, Goa had a total of 1,060,750 registered electors, of whom 77.06 per cent, or 817440, exercised their right to franchise across 1,624 polling stations to choose their 2 Members of Parliament from among 19 candidates. The state has 40 Assembly constituencies. In the previous state elections, held in 2017, the Indian National Congress had emerged as the single largest party here, winning 17 seats with a 28.7 per cent vote share. The Bharatiya Janata Party had won 13 seats despite a higher vote share of 32.9 per cent. With a combined vote of 38.4 per cent, the other parties and independent candidates had bagged the remaining 10 seats. While INC, the single largest party failed to form a government in Goa, the BJP managed to sew up an alliance and form a government in the state with the late Manohar Parrikar as chief minister. After Parrikar's death in 2019 following prolonged illness, the CM's chair is now held by Pramod Sawant.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Orange Blossoms Puzzle Details: About: Today, in this new jigsaw puzzle, we feature some fresh smelling orange blossoms. The orange blossom is the fragrant flower of the orange tree. It is used in perfume making and has been written about as an aphrodisiac. The petals of orange blossom can also be made into a delicately citrus-scented version of rosewater; orange blossom water (aka orange flower water), a common part of both French cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine. The orange blossom is the state flower of Florida. Complete this puzzle and see a close-up of a wheat filed. Wheat is a cereal grain, originally from the Levant region of the Near East and Ethiopian Highlands, but now cultivated worldwide. Chamomile or camomile is the common name for several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae that are commonly used to make a herb infusion that can help to induce sleep. Chamomile is also frequently added to skin cosmetics to serve as an emollient, and for its anti-inflammatory effects. The word "chamomile" derives, via French and Latin, from Greek χαμαίμηλον (khamaimēlon), i.e. "earth apple", from χαμαί (khamai) "on the ground" and μῆλον (mēlon) "apple". Wooden Tulips Believe it or not, the colorful tulips in today's new jigsaw puzzles are wooden hand painted decorations. Colorful Daisies Today's puzzle features a beautiful bouquet of colorful daisies. Pink Azaleas Another beautiful flower themed jigsaw puzzle is here. Today we feature a bush of very beautiful pink azaleas. In Chinese culture, the azalea is known as "thinking of home bush" (sixiang shu) and is immortalized in the poetry of Du Fu. In addition to being renowned for its beauty, the Azalea is also highly toxic. The Azalea was once so infamous for their toxicity that to receive a bouquet of their flowers in a black vase was a well-known death threat. Red Leaves Today's new puzzle features the beautiful red leaves of the poinsettia plant. This plant species of the diverse spurge family is indigenous to Mexico and Central America. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. In areas outside its natural environment, it is commonly grown as an indoor plant where it prefers good morning sun, then shade in the hotter part of the day. It is widely grown and very popular in subtropical climates such as Australia & Malta. Hosta Leaves Hosta is a genus of about 23–45 species of plants commonly known as hostas. They are widely cultivated, being particularly useful in the garden as shade-tolerant plants whose striking foliage provides a focal point. Hostas are edible by humans and are called "urui" in Japanese cuisine. The parts eaten and the manner of preparation differ depending on the species; in some cases it is the shoots, others the leaf petiole, others the whole leaf. In this fun new puzzle we feature a beautiful lilac bouquet. Lilacs were introduced into European gardens at the end of the 16th century, from Ottoman gardens. In the American colonies, lilacs were introduced in the 18th century. The lilac is a very popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks, because of its attractive, sweet-smelling flowers, which appear in early summer just before many of the roses and other summer flowers bloom. Peonies are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. They are among the most popular garden plants in temperate regions and have compound, deeply lobed leaves and large, often fragrant flowers, in colors ranging from purple red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. Leafy Spurge or green spurge (Euphorbia esula) is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1-1.2 m tall, with several stems branched from the base. It's flowers are small, produced in umbels with a basal pair of bright yellow-green petal-like bracts. Clusters of the bracts appear in late spring, while the actual flowers do not develop until early summer. It is native to central and southern Europe, and eastward through most of Asia. It's considered an invasive plant in the U.S., where it was introduced possibly as a seed impurity in the early 19th century, because displaces native vegetation in prairie habitats and fields through shading and by usurping available water and nutrients. White Spring Flowers One of the most beautiful seasons, Spring, is here again. All kind of flowers, plants and trees are becoming green again, their flowers are blossoming and filling the warm Spring air with their wonderful smell. Today we feature some of these beautiful white Spring flowers in our daily puzzle game. Faded Roses In A Vase Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They are also used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops. Roses should last up to one week and possibly longer after being cut before starting to fade and wither. To increase the life span for cut roses you have follow proper flower care tips including using flower food, changing out the water every few days and cutting the stems. Roses can also last a few hours out of water before they start to fade.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaCommonCrawl" }

A story of love, loss and taxidermy on a Broadland estuary. Told by a mix of professional actors and a community choir. It's 1890. Ben "Breydon" Crowther has spent his life on and around the waters of the broadland rivers and the North Sea scratching a living from its teeming wild life. Wildfowler, henchman, bird collector, fisherman, smelter, eel-catcher, and when occasion demanded it, poacher, Crowther lost his sight in a shooting accident. He now lives in a grace and favour cottage close to his beloved Breydon surrounded by glass cases containing the specimens he has collected over his long life. Every case contains a bird, and every bird has a story. These are Crowther's memories, caged in glass piled high on every side. Crowther is becoming forgetful. But he makes light of it. (I've had a long life, 'bor. What do you expect?) And he's still able to perform a trick he's become famous for – identifying a dead bird purely by touch. But Poppy the young girl who looks after him realises the situation is more serious: that his failing memory is the first sign of approaching dementia.

Please take a few moments to tell us what you think by leaving us a review here on our website or on any of these popular review sites or social networks. Mark Jr. was the best. He was very informative. Went way over the top to make sure there was no obvious leaks on our furnace & AC unit. Didn't pressure up sale me. Just told me the pure facts. I will definitely be calling Turk Heating & Cooling for all my AC & Heating needs. Asking for Mark Jr. Product or service reviewed: Heat wasn't working. Was here the same day. Needed a new blower motor. I have used Turk since I have lived in new Palestine. I won't use anyone else. Loyal, trustworthy, polite, friendly. Our Furnace went out around 8pm on one of the coldest nights of the year (-15 air temp) and with one call there was someone at our house within a half hour and he had the heater fixed and roaring hot within the hour. He even ran to go get the part from the shop and came back. Outstanding customer service and even people folks. Thanks fellas. Mark, Jr. came out and did my yearly furnace inspection. He is such a nice young man, so polite. I recommended Turk to a friend of mine that lives in Carmel, IN. I would highly recommend Turk to everyone. Chad and his partner were excellent technicians. They came for a furnace tune-up and also addressed a noise that ended up being a defective blower, fortunately under warranty. They came back to replace the part promptly. They were very clean, friendly, professional, organized, and efficient. Turk Heating will be my preferred maintenance of my HVAC system moving forward. I wanted to take a moment to convey my appreciation for the outstanding work you did in installing my new heating and A/C system. The extra effort you put forth in getting the system tweaked to solve the static pressure issue post-installation truly showed your dedication to customer satisfaction that is rare to find today. Each member of your organization that I worked with has been conscientious, knowledgeable and honest. Beyond that, you are all nice people. It is obvious that you take great pride tn your work and are dedicated to doing the job right and treating your customers with the utmost care. I've taken the time today to log a Google review for you, and want you to know that I couldn't recommend you more highly. I'm truly appreciative of the work you have done for me and look forward to engaging you for any of my HVAC needs going forward.	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaC4" }
Q: Java: String.contains matches exact word In Java String term = "search engines" String subterm_1 = "engine" String subterm_2 = "engines" If I do term.contains(subterm_1) it returns true. I don't want that. I want the subterm to exactly match one of the words in term Therefore something like term.contains(subterm_1) returns false and term.contains(subterm_2) returns true A: \b Matches a word boundary where a word character is [a-zA-Z0-9_]. This should work for you, and you could easily reuse this method. public class testMatcher { public static void main(String[] args){ String source1="search engines"; String source2="search engine"; String subterm_1 = "engines"; String subterm_2 = "engine"; System.out.println(isContain(source1,subterm_1)); System.out.println(isContain(source2,subterm_1)); System.out.println(isContain(source1,subterm_2)); System.out.println(isContain(source2,subterm_2)); } private static boolean isContain(String source, String subItem){ String pattern = "\\b"+subItem+"\\b"; Pattern p=Pattern.compile(pattern); Matcher m=p.matcher(source); return m.find(); } } Output: true false false true A: I would suggest using word boundaries. If you compile a pattern like \bengines\b, your regular expression will only match on complete words. Here is an explanation of word boundaries, as well as some examples. http://www.regular-expressions.info/wordboundaries.html Also, here is the java API for the pattern, which does include word boundaries http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html Here is an example using your requirements above Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\bengines\\b"); Matcher m = p.matcher("search engines"); System.out.println("matches: " + m.find()); p = Pattern.compile("\\bengine\\b"); m = p.matcher("search engines"); System.out.println("matches: " + m.find()); and here is the output: matches: true matches: false A: If the words are always separated by spaces, this is one way to go: String string = "search engines"; String[] parts = string.split(" "); for(int i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) { if(parts[i].equals("engine")) { //do whatever you want } A: I want the subterm to exactly match one of the words in term Then you can't use contains(). You could split the term into words and check equality (with or without case sensitivity). boolean hasTerm = false; for (String word : term.split("\\s+") { if (word.equals("engine")) { hasTerm = true; break; } } A: Use indexOf instead and then check whether char at the poistion index + length of string plus +1 == ` ` or EOS or I am sure there is a regex way as well. A: Since the contains method verify if does exist that array of char in the string, it will aways return true, you will have to use Regex to make this validation. If the words are aways separed by space it is easier, you can use the \s regex to get it. Here is a good tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JavaRegularExpressions/article.html A: One approach could be to split the string by spaces, convert it to a list, and then use the contains method to check for exact matches, like so: String[] results = term.split("\\s+"); Boolean matchFound = Arrays.asList(results).contains(subterm_1); Demo	{ "redpajama_set_name": "RedPajamaStackExchange" }
