Havelock North Rotary assist with securing a $US 32,000 Global Grant
Just once in a while, you can meet someone who is absolutely passionate about a community need.
During a recent Rotary Friendship Exchange to Brazil, the small team from District 9930 met a very special person with a very defined goal. This was Rotarian Dr. Cassiano Alves Ferreira Neto, who is a dentist employed at a cancer hospital in the small city of Jaù. Cassiano was concerned that the cancer patients who had lost an ear, a nose, an eye or a palate during cancer surgery were, due to their disfigurement, tending to withdraw themselves from society and this often led to severe depression.
Cassiano started moulding prosthetic ears, noses, eyes, and palates from resins, with the hospital funding him to fit facial prosthetics for 40 patients each year.
Two years ago, Cassiano was travelling to a meeting with an old friend, Nilton Palomo. Nilton was fascinated to hear of Cassiano's work. The two men continued to talk and Nilton told his friend that his son, Henrique, now ran a biomedical engineering company in Brasilia.
Nilton then exclaimed – "What if my son Henrique can produce a system which allows facial prostheses to be produced by 3D printing?".
EXISTING TECHNIQUE
Henrique was approached and immediately agreed to undertake this project. Along with João, his 3D printer technician, they worked on the project at no charge, as a gift to the city where they grew up. They started with an open-sourced graphics software program called Blender – this is the same software that is often used in the film industry to create 3D images.
In May this year, Henrique borrowed two laser printers and travelled to Jaù to demonstrate the new system. A lady volunteered to be their first patient. She had had her nose removed during cancer treatment. Henrique took 25 pictures of the patient's face and then fed the pictures into a computer, which used the picture on the patient's identity card as a reference.
Within hours, the patient's face was restored to being similar to what it was before treatment – she looks wonderful.
"3D" TECHNIQUE"
Henrique and João have made a further visit to Jaù to work with Cassiano to undertake more prosthetic procedures, making noses, ears and half-faces.
At present, the 3D printers cannot print the type of resin used for facial prosthetics, so a mould is printed and Cassiano makes the prothesis from that mould. Henrique is presently working to further improve the system so that resin prosthetics with precisely the correct skin colour can be printed, which will remove the necessity of making a mould.
The cost of the equipment is US$32,000. The hospital has contracted to fund all the running expenses and the number of procedures per year will increase from 40 to 80.
The small Rotary club of Jaù Leste decided to raise the funds for the purchase of the 3D printers with the assistance of a Rotary Global Grant. To apply for a Global Grant the club needed a Rotary club from another country to become a partner in the project. Jaù is a place rarely visited by foreign Rotarians, so forming a partnership with an overseas Rotary club was going to be a challenge. When a team of eight Rotarians from District 9930 were hosted by the Rotary Club of Jaù Norte, Cassiano asked if he could meet the New Zealand Rotarians and tell them of the 'Faces' project. Cassiano's partner Marilia, speaks English and acted as an interpreter for the 9930 team during their four-day visit to the city. Cassiano's enthusiasm for the project was infectious and two of the team members made a commitment to assist.
Marilia was co-opted to the project committee as a translator, but very quickly became a key member of the team and after seeing first-hand the wonderful work that Rotary does, she has become a Rotarian.
Havelock North Rotary Club became the international partner for the project and the 9930 Rotary Foundation Committee pledged District Designate Funds. The Rotary clubs of Rotorua and Cambridge gave support. Three Brazilian Rotary Clubs and District 4480 pledged funds. Once 50% of the US$32,000 had been pledged, an application was made to the Rotary Foundation for the balance. Two days after Christmas Day we learnt from the Rotary Foundation that the grant was approved and the equipment will be installed at the Jaù Amaral Carvalho Cancer Treatment Hospital very shortly.
The President of the Rotary Club of Jaù Leste has remarked "O presente de Natal chegou para as pessoas que necessitam voltar a olhar nos espelhos", which roughly translates as "this is a Christmas gift which will allow patients to look into a mirror and not see a disfigured face".

WALHI: LBP Threatens to Leave Paris Agreement oversteps President and Parliament
Siaran Pers, Walhi Dalam Berita
Jakarta, March 29 2019. On March 27 2019, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan made a media statement that the Indonesian government threatened to leave the Paris Agreement, a statement in response to the release of Delegated Act European Commission regarding the use of palm oil for biofuels. WALHI condemns the indiscriminate statement of Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs because it was not well thought out. President Joko Widodo should reprimand the Minister for his statement.
Indonesia's involvement in the Paris Agreement is a commitment of President Joko Widodo as stated at the UNFCCC COP 21 in Paris to be involved in efforts in address climate change which is becoming a global issue. Indonesia also committed to reduce emission by 29% and 41% with International assistance in 2030 as stated in National Determined Contribution (NDC). Indonesia's involvement in the Paris Agreement is one manifestation of Nawa Cita which is a priority of President Joko Widodo to increase the global role that mandates the increased international cooperation in overcoming global problems that threaten humanity including climate change. Therefore, a minister cannot declare to leave from Paris Agreement because it's contrary to the President's commitment.
In addition, the Paris Agreement has also been ratified through Law Number 16 of 2016 by the House of Representative (DPR-RI). In Indonesian legal system, the ratification of international treaties is regulated in Law Number 24 of 2000 concerning International Agreements. Ratification of international treaties is carried out by Law or Presidential Regulation. The Paris Agreement as a legal basis in the efforts to anticipate climate change both globally and nationally is legalized in the form of legislation. In the Academic Manuscript that underlines the ratification of Paris Agreement, it is stated that controlling climate change is a constitutional mandate that every individual has the right to live in prosperity, physically and spiritually, reside and get a good and healthy environment and has the right to receive health services.
The state provides direction and is obliged to ensure that the development needed to fulfill people's welfare continue to pay attention to the protection of environmental and social aspects. With awareness to the threats of the negative impacts of climate change, controlling and managing climate change is not a burden to the State, but a necessity. Therefore, the State's commitment in dealing with climate change is also not just an international commitment but also a national agenda. Not only contradicts with the commitment of President Joko Widodo, the Minister's statement also overstepped the authority of DPR-RI because the it was not approved by the parliament.
In addition to that, Indonesia is located in a geographical area that is very prone to the effects of climate change. In general, the average temperature increase is estimated at 0.5 – 3.92 ° C in 2010 from 1981-2010 periods. The increase in temperature has resulted in a decrease of water availability, changes in plant productivity, loss of biodiversity which is an invaluable asset that has an impact on health, death, food security, migration patterns, natural ecosystems and economic prosperity, both locally and nationally.
The Indonesian territory with more than 17,000 islands, and nearly 65% of the population lives in coastal areas, causing Indonesia's territory to be vulnerable to the effects of climate change, especially those caused by rising sea levels and flooding in coastal area or rob. The frequency of extreme weather which normally occurs in 5-7 years, it is now in 3-5 years due to climate change. La Nina has an impact that causes flooding due to high rainfall, while El Nino has extreme drought effects due to low rainfall.
The threat to the safety of the people due to the effects of climate change is a priority of the government, especially the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs to ensure 65% of the people living on the coast survive the effects of climate change, not threaten to leave the Paris Agreement just to defend the interests of palm oil corporations.

Q: Stripe.apiKey not resolving in Android I'm using Stripe as a payment processor in my Android app and trying to charge a card as described by the documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/charges
My issue specifically is that it can not resolve Stripe.apiKey, or can not resolve symbol apiKey
The code that I'm implementing from the documentation:
// Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.apiKey = "sk_test_********************";//this is where i hit a wall

// Token is created using Stripe.js or Checkout!
// Get the payment token submitted by the form:
String token = request.getParameter("stripeToken");

// Charge the user's card:
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("amount", 1000);
params.put("currency", "usd");
params.put("description", "Example charge");
params.put("source", token);

Charge charge = Charge.create(params);

I have also imported import com.stripe.android.*; at the top of my file.
In my Gradle file I have imported the Stripe libraries:
compile 'com.stripe:stripe-android:2.0.2'

Why isn't Android able to resolve Stripe.apiKey?

A: The code you provided is server-side Java code for creating a charge using a token. It is not meant to be used from an Android application.
A payment flow with Stripe is divided in two steps:

*

*client-side, in your frontend code, you collect and tokenize the user's payment information (using Checkout or Stripe.js for a web application, or the iOS / Android SDKs for a native mobile application)

*server-side, in your backend code, you use the resulting token in an API request, e.g. to create a charge or a customer object.
The first step is done with your publishable API key (pk_...). The second step is done with your secret API key (sk_...).
You must never share the secret API key with your frontend code, otherwise an attacker could retrieve it and use it to issue API requests on your behalf.

A: To solve Stripe.apikey cannot resolve, change Stripe.apiKey to
com.stripe.Stripe.apiKey = "Your secret";

A: Try: Stripe stripe = new Stripe("pk_test_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh");

Using computational approaches to understand the dynamics and evolution of complex biological networks.
A wide variety of processes in the cell depend on the function of large complexes. A major focus of our lab involves using computational modeling to understand how macromolecular structures assemble from their component parts. Our work is aimed at providing fundamental insights into assembly mechanisms with the ultimate goal of developing strategies that could disrupt or enhance the assembly of medically relevant complexes. The results of our work also provide general rules that can be applied in the design and construction of synthetic complexes that will self-assembly efficiently.
In one set of projects, we are considering the assembly dynamics of macromolecular structures that contain rings. Many important complexes, such as the proteasome, the chaperonin GroEL, and the apoptosome (which is involved in programmed cell death), consist either of single rings or of multiple rings stacked on top of one another. We have characterized some of the challenges that face simple ring-like structures as they assemble, and have discovered mechanisms that complexes could employ to assemble with optimal efficiency. We are currently extending this work to the study of stacked rings, with a particular focus on complexes for which there is experimental evidence of self-assembly. The predictions of these models are being tested experimentally through our collaborations with a number of groups at KU.
A second major focus of the lab involves understanding how cells process information from their environment. This task is often accomplished by signaling networks in which proteins interact with one another to propagate extracellular signals to the appropriate cellular response. The structure of these networks varies widely in evolution: bacteria, for instance, utilize highly linear signaling networks in which a single protein, called the sensor kinase, directly activates a second protein called the response regulator. In contrast, metazoan networks, like those found in human cells, are generally incredibly complex, with a massive degree of crosstalk between the receptors on the cell surface and the transcription factors that control cellular responses. Our lab is using a combination of computational modeling, data analysis, and collaborations with experimental groups to understand the evolutionary pressures that have led to such different global topologies.

Sensitisation workshops advocate reconciliation-friendly media
Tuesday, 18 July 2017 00:41 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Three sensitisation workshops to advocate reconciliation-friendly media were organised in Colombo, Kandy and Kurunegala Districts for journalists by the Ministry of National Integration and Reconciliation. Over 150 journalists discussed the role of media in conflict transformation, reconciliation, and peace building.
The Ministry under the direction of President Maithripala Sirisena has developed a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in which reconciliation-friendly media has been identified as an important initiative.
Globally it is acknowledged that the media has an important and strategic role to play in building national integration and peace building. At the workshop, the journalists identified that media can contribute to conflict transformation on one hand and also contribute to the escalation of conflict on the other hand. Discussions illustrated that media can make or break the peace, said V. Sivagnanasothy, Secretary, Ministry of National Integration and Reconciliation.
The discussions by the journalists highlighted that based on the international experiences in Kenya, the media spread hate messages which created atrocities and led to genocides in early 1990s. Subsequently the Kenyan Government established a team to monitor hate-speech on social media. Such conflict barometers with a number of high-intensity conflicts helped to track the progress on peace building which helps journalists to report on the peace status of the country.
Media influences to shape perceptions, condition behaviour and impact the minds, attitudes, emotions of readers and community at large. The journalists at the discussion pointed out that the cultural, ethnic and religious diversity be respected while fair and non-discriminatory reporting is a prime responsibility of the journalists. Journalists are "truth tellers" but media has a moral responsibility to promote reconciliation.
Discipline in reporting on conflict-related issues were considered as important by many professionals. The workshop discussed that conflict-sensitive journalism focuses on democratic, pluralistic and just society. The peace journalism is where editors and reporters make choices about what to report and how to report – to create opportunities to value non-violent responses to conflict. The discussions highlighted that peace journalism is seen as a special mode of socially responsible journalism which contributes to peaceful settlement of conflicts.
In this context, the participants discussed that journalists can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. The role of journalists as a neutral disseminator is to be objective, impartial, integrity, ensure fairness, and balance in reporting. The journalists openly discussed that the professionalism of journalists gets eroded due to personal emotions, interest, prejudices, audience preference, lack of ethics, concern for being overly market oriented or economic oriented, influenced by negativism or influenced by elite groups or one-sidedness or social irresponsiveness and failure to look at diverse perspective.
The journalists concluded the careful presentation of facts, reliable and varied sources, expert opinions, supporting documents, accurate quotations and fair representation of major viewpoints were vital for balanced journalism. The media helps to create political setting, policy setting and public opinion which help to bridge gap between perpetrators of conflict and victims.
The sensitisation workshops concluded that the journalists' professional responsibility of independence, objectivity, impartiality and truth telling and fairness were fundamental while social responsibility and public interest demands peace journalism and reconciliation friendly media that focuses on journalists being a part of the solution to the problem and help to build sustainable peace, harmony and national integration and reconciliation, said Sivagnanasothy. At the workshop the journalists also observed and endorsed the declaration on national integration and reconciliation which was initiated by the Ministry during the National Integration and Reconciliation Week declared by the Cabinet of Ministers in January.
This workshop was attended by A.H.M. Fowzie, State Minister of National Integration and Reconciliation, Sivagnanasothy, Imtiaz Bakeer Markar, Chairman, Bakeer Markar Centre for National Unity and senior Government officials, several journalists and academics. The workshop was conducted by the Ministry with the support of Bakeer Markar Centre for National Unity and academics.
The journalists acknowledged that the media could effectively contribute to the reconciliation and peace building process and the sensitisation program significantly contributed to this process.

Thanksgiving fire destroys photography studio in St. Louis
Published: Nov. 27, 2022 at 10:25 PM CST
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A local business owner is forced to start over after a Thanksgiving morning fire destroyed her photo studio near Benton Park.
Jennifer Butler had her photography studio for nearly four years, recently expanding into a bigger space.
Around 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning, she got an unexpected call from her landlord.
"The fire went up from the basement to the second story and I'm sandwiched right in the middle on the first floor so it came directly up and through the drywall," Butler said.
Butler said the fire destroyed most of her studio.
"They told us it was basically a total loss between water, smoke and straight fire damage," Butler said.
Between lighting equipment, wardrobe, backdrops and other destroyed items, Butler said the loss totals about $100,000.
However, the one silver lining is that all digital copies of the photos are safe.
"Thankfully all of my files and things are kept offsite," Butler said. "I have them backed up in a security deposit box and in my home. I had grabbed my camera Wednesday night. Something told me to take it home."
The COVID-19 pandemic hit her business hard. Butler said she was just starting to ramp back up to the 2019 status quo.
This fire brings Butler and her business back to square one.
"My husband does work and provide but at the same time, we have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter," Butler said. "We're having to spend all of our time here trying to clean up and salvage if there is anything left. So far, we haven't really found much laying in the rubble that's worth holding on to."
Butler's message to other small business owners is to make sure they are fully aware of how much they have covered with insurance.
"We relied on our insurance company to give us what we needed and it's seeming that failed us," Butler said. "While we do have insurance, it's not covering nearly the amount we thought we had coverage for."
Butler said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

That'samazing! I've always wondered about this kind of thing. Passing people youdon't even register, but maybe one day them having significance.
I always think about this when I look at pictures ofcrowds. Like my grandmother has a picture of her and her sister together at afootball game from decades ago. And of course, there's hundreds of other peoplein the crowd visible in the background, several of them are interesting andsort of stand out in the picture. The guy with the dumb look on his face or thewoman in the orange jacket. Stuff I always notice when looking at the picture.
And then I wonder, how many family photos am Iunknowingly in the background of? Maybe I got caught yawning or looking stupidat some point, and there's a family in Nebraska with that picture on theirfireplace and every now and then, someone will look at it like, "Look atthis doofus in the background!"
One time I was at a Protomen concert and this guy wasdoing that annoying thing where they hold up their phone to take a video thatno one is ever going to watch again, so I turned around and stared at theirphone for 5 minutes, not blinking once.
This made me think of how I'm probably in the backgroundof many family photos of people I don't know.
I'm blond and have very light green eyes. When Itravelled to locations such as Cambodia, parts of China, Ghana, Cuba, etc.people would regularly take photos of me - either very obviously standing nextto me, pretending to just have a picture taken of themselves or some people askto take a photo with me (in which case I'm not only in the background butstanding next to them). In China, when I go to markets or stores, I can be surethat at some point a photographer will take a photo of me looking at theirproducts. Makes me wonder how many people have a photo of me with their familyand how many brochures I have ended up in without my knowledge.
One that comes to mind the most is when a Cambodiantourist at the Ang Kor Wat temples asked me if she could have a picture takenwith me in front of a temple. As soon as I said yes another man and woman fromher tour group joined in. One by one the rest joined and at the end they wereall in the picture apart from 2-3 people taking the photos. I must have endedup in the holiday album of at least one of them.

1.Make sure the "num lock" is on.
These days, most keyboard include a number pad, even on laptops. And where there's a num pad, there's a Num Lock button. When it's off, the number pad keys turn to arrows, and you're not getting any numbers. *Note that on some laptops, you need to use the Fn key in order to toggle num lock. When this is done by mistake, it's even more difficult to discover what's happened!
2.Make sure one of the keys isn't getting stuck.
Use the air to gently blow around and under the keys.
Brush away any debris. If dirt or food is blown out, brush it away from the keyboard.
Clean the keys with alcohol if the drink dries. Make sure the keyboard is unplugged first, or your laptop is powered down. If the spill is mostly on top of the keys, use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the keys.

If you are involved in a car accident that was not your fault, days or weeks after the accident you might be approached by a lawyer for the insurance company that is offering you a large settlement check. In many cases, these dollar amounts are more than most people see in one place their entire life. That is the reason why it is crucial you have your own attorney, because chances are this settlement is not everything it appears to be on the surface.
While you are still recovering from the accident, all of a sudden you are being contacted by the at-fault driver's insurance company with a settlement offer. Not only are you still dealing with your pain, you haven't even had a chance to speak with a personal injury lawyer. This is the exact reason the settlement offer is coming in so blazing fast. The hope here is the at-fault driver's insurance company gets to you before you have the chance to hire an attorney, presenting you with the largest check you have ever seen, and telling you no need to give a chunk of it to your attorney, just take the cash.
In most cases, the at-fault driver's insurance company does not want you to get an attorney because they feel they will pay far more in the end, so they rush the case to a close.
Once you leave the hospital, the at-fault driver's insurance company may request you see their physician so they can determine and confirm the extent of your injuries. When you are done being seen by the doctors and suddenly have a settlement check being presented to you, it is not because the other side is looking out for your best interests. The doctor may have confirmed these are serious injuries and the lawyers for the insurance company want to try and get out as cheaply as possible.
Most drivers who see the size of the check jump and the chance for easy money, only to discover it was a tiny fraction of what they could have settled for if they had only hired a personal injury attorney first.
Large Settlement Offers Not Large Enough?
When the at-fault driver's insurance company offers you a settlement check, how could you possibly know if the dollar amount is in line with your injuries? It might seem like a wonderful amount of cash, but chances are it is only a small percentage of what a skilled personal injury lawyer would have won for you. The fact the other side is admitting guilt means they want to try and entice you to take a tiny portion now so they save a fortune down the road.
Your personal injury lawyer can determine how this injury will impact your way of life, your ability to earn in the future, and the pain you'll be dealing with the rest of your life, and put a more accurate number on the case.
One of the biggest issues when you accept the check from the at-fault driver's insurance company too early, you give up the right to sue for more money and you are now responsible for your medical bills moving forward. If the injuries require surgery or treatment well into your later years, you will be in financial ruin in short order.
Your attorney will make certain that your medical bills are covered today and for your remaining years because of the impact of the accident.
This is a lot of money, and when you take the settlement check, many times you give up the right to sue in the future. When you are working with a professional attorney, they will be able to make certain you are not being short-changed and get every penny you are entitled to.

This sterling silver charm bracelet features heart-shaped links to create a light and delicate design. Wear it with or without charms to add a romantic touch to any outfit.
I've lost this charm bracelet recently and found it, but the amazing thing that made me want to type up a review was how great the quality of this bracelet actually is! I had lost it for almost two weeks, I happened to be walking outside and noticed it. It had rained two days out of the week and the bracelet was still in perfect condition! It had no penny smell or any tarnishes on it. Unlike the 'Forged Link Charm Bracelet' it tarnished and has the penny smell to it with me never wearing it. So I definitely recommend this bracelet, plus it's cute!
This bracelet looks great on it's own or just as beautiful with charms.
I love this bracelet because it's so cute you can wear it by itself! It's also a cute charm bracelet as well! And to the girl who said she hated this bracelet because it tarnished, you can drop off your jewelry to get cleaned at James Avery anytime. Also when you're not wearing it, keep it in a plastic baggie to keep the air from tarnishing it.
I bought this for our twenty-five year old daughter for Christmas and she wears it every day. Loves it so much she wants a matching necklace!
I bought this bracelet April 1 and it is Now June and it is already tarnishing really bad to the point where it almost looked black.
I love this bracelet so much! It's the perfect Valentine's gift because of the hearts! It's connected by a chain so it is easier to put it on. It sits in the perfect place on my wrist. I'm so happy my boyfriend got it for me! It was so thoughtful and I will wear it every day. Not sure if I will add charms because I would not want to hide the pretty hearts!
It's so beautiful and I love it!
My husband surprised me with this beautifully made heart bracelet it was a "just because" gift and I love it I get so many compliments it's simply beautiful. He also got me and I love you charms & you & me & ill eventually add them to the charm but right now I'm enjoying wearing this charm plain either way looks gorgeous!!!
My husband bought this for me and I LOVE it, I am wearing it plain with no charms!

East Angels: A Novel
Constance Fenimore Woolson
"I think, more than anything else, I came to be under blue sky."
"Are you fond of sky?" said the young girl who was sitting near the speaker, her eyes on the shimmering water of the lagoon which stretched north and south before the house.
"I can't lay claim to tastes especially celestial, I fear," answered the visitor, "but I confess to a liking for an existence which is not, for six months of the year, a combat. I am mortally tired of our long northern winters, with their eternal processions of snow, ice, and thaw—thaw, ice, and snow; I am tired of our springs—hypocritical sunshine pierced through and through by east winds; and I have at last, I think, succeeded in breaking loose from the belief that there is something virtuous and heroic in encountering these things—encountering them, I mean, merely from habit, and when not called to it by any necessity. But this emancipation has taken time—plenty of it. It is directly at variance with all the principles of the country and creed in which I was brought up."
"You have good health, Mr. Winthrop?" asked Mrs. Thorne, in a tone which was prepared to turn with equal appreciation towards sympathy if he were, and congratulation if he were not, the possessor of the lungs which classify a person, and give him an occupation for life.

As he does every year following the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel had some star-studded sketches for his post-Oscar episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. This year's episode features actresses like Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba or Sofia Vergara engage in a new work-out regimen called "Humpilates". Basically, Kimmel and his writers found an excuse to have some of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses hump exercise balls bearing the word "hobo".

Scarlett & Sean Penn Take Whirlwind Trip to Mexico
March 05, 2011 Rope Comments are off Public Events, Scarlett-Photos.com
It was a short getaway, but Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson made the most of it.
The pair left on a private jet from Van Nuys airport Tuesday morning, then were spotted having dinner in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that night, according to sources. Early Wednesday morning, they returned to Los Angeles where Johansson is shooting the film We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon.
On the menu during their Mexican meal? Penn, 50 and Johansson, 26, reportedly enjoyed lobster and, of course, margaritas.
Earlier this week, the twosome were seen sharing a casual lunch at the popular Los Angeles Cuban restaurant, Versailles, where Johansson had her leg draped over Penn.
On Feb. 5, the couple raised eyebrows when they stayed unusually close to each other at a party celebrating Black Swan at the L.A. hotspot Sunset Tower Hotel, then reportedly left together. "They were flirting with each other all night, pretty much ignoring everyone else," a source told PEOPLE at the time.
Johansson's rep told PEOPLE at the time that they the two were not dating. Neither of their reps have commented on the pair's most recent sightings.
Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, 34, split in December after two years of marriage. In August of 2009, Robin Wright, 44, filed for divorce from Penn. The couple had been married 13 years.

When Scarlett appeared on the call, Pugh yelped, "Oh my goodness, there she is!" Johansson, dressed in athleisure and fresh faced, smiled back. And for a few minutes, the two stars—one of whom's $56 million salary last year reportedly made her the highest paid actress in the world—seemed no more than two good friends catching up. They teased each other about their choice of Zoom settings. Johansson chose her bedroom and was backdropped by a tufted suede headboard and wallpaper patterned with birds and leaves. "I like to switch up. Keep people guessing. Make it look like I've gone somewhere," she said. "When I've gone nowhere, obviously."

Solarresponders
On September 20th, 2017, Hurricane Maria knocked out power to 100% of Puerto Rico's 3.4 million residents, hospitals, telecommunications, fire stations, and 85% of the police stations. The storm devastated all aspects of the electrical grid (the above ground lines, transformers, power plants) which resulted in the longest blackout in the United States. An estimated 2,975 people died in Puerto Rico as a direct result of Hurricane Maria, making it the deadliest natural disaster in the United States in 100 years. In emergency situations, first responder stations transform into makeshift crisis centers, playing an essential role for local communities. Even though stations are typically outfitted with backup diesel generators, they are vulnerable to supply chain failures and mechanical breakdown. Without any form of power, first responders lose their capacity to: effectively receive emergency calls from 911 dispatchers charge radios and operate computer systems to communicate and coordinate mutual aid operate the stations' A/C, cooling fans and lights operate the watch-office, which serves as an emergency resource and community haven First responders cannot risk interference with key communication resources, especially while facing unpredictable and dangerous conditions that occur after disasters. When the electric grid fails, first responders are unable to respond. The scale and urgency of this problem is only increasing. As our climate changes, natural disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity. Action is needed now to ensure the critical needs of first responders in vulnerable regions are met so they can save lives when a disaster occurs.

Ghani entered politics in 2009, when he was nominated a presidential candidate for that year's elections. He came fourth in the elections and campaigned again in 2014, this time winning and becoming the country's oldest ruler since 1947.
During his term in government, Ghani worked to strengthen Afghanistan's ties with Central Asian countries and also explore new economic routes. Afghanistan could also become a steel exporter, according to him. However, his presidency would come to a close on August 2, when US military opted to leave Afghanistan, permitting the Taliban to advance. Ghani reportedly fled the nation in an aircraft with his wife on August 15, 2021.

Following a diagnosis of cancer in the 1990s, he has suffered health issues. Ghani has maintained the habit of waking up before 5:00 a.m. and reading for two or three hours daily, which has helped him reach to such a high position despite his humble beginnings.

Pension planning. Offered a quality 1hr consultation and challenged my thinking to help plan for the future. Yes, very early stages but the key benefit was that Fogwill & Jones weren't greedy to pursue an investment in the short term and happy to provide good advice.
Fogwill & Jones understood what I was requesting. They gave very sound advice about how to invest, and did this for me. They explained the process and what they planned to do very clearly along the way.
Due to a change in circumstances I needed some Protection Insurance and I wanted to be clear on what was the most appropriate cover for me. They where polite, interested in me as a client and knowledgeable in the product area i was interested in. They fulfilled their promise to find me suitable products at competitive premiums and the turnaround from phone call to quoting was very good. I was very pleased with the facts and figures and doing business with Fogwill & Jones looks highly likely.

What Sweet Treat Do You Love that Others Raise an Eyebrow Toward?
Michael Gibson Published: May 6, 2021
I have a confession. I love those orange slices you can two for a dollar at the gas station. Walmart has a variety pack that has the orange slices but also includes cherry, lemon and lime. So good. I love those spice drops, too, and there is a special story behind those.
I'll talk about the fruit slices in a minute, but first I'll talk about the spice drops. If you haven't heard of these, they are a soft candy with both a sweet and spice flavor. So good.
I will never forget as a kid going to my grandmother's around Christmas time. She had this this mini tree with points on it. On those points, she would put a spice drop on the end. All of us cousins would swing by and grab one, then come back again later and get another. It's one of those simple memories that I will always carry with me and why I could never unlove the spice drop candies.
I've always been a fan of orange slices, those soft, orange candies with the sugar sprinkled on the outside. Sure, it's a fake flavor but I love 'em. Stop by just about any gas station and you can usually pick up two packs for a dollar. Over the years, the flavors have been expanded to include cherry, which are super good, and even lemon and lime, which are good, too.
I've got a couple of friends who wouldn't even touch them. "That's gross," "I don't like the texture," all while taking a bite out of a Twizzler, now that's yuck. Those taste like a dried up strip of weather striping. Even worse, licorice. Nope. But I know plenty who love those.
So tell me, what sweet treat do you love that others raise an eyebrow toward? Tell me in the poll below.

Steven Gerrard is worried about the form of Luis Suarez
Date:16th December 2013 at 5:00pm
Written by: Tony
Steven Gerrard could only be a spectator on Sunday as Liverpool hit Tottenham 5-0. Liverpool's captain is currently injured and is armband was given to Luis Suarez who grabbed two goals against Spurs and put in another man of the match performance.
It seems like Suarez is either scoring or assisting in every game he plays for Liverpool this season as he has already chalked up 17 Premier League goals in only 11 games. It is this blistering form that is worrying Steven Gerrard as he fears that if Suarez continues playing this well, other teams are going to want to come in and try and sign him.
Speaking on Super Sunday after the Spurs game, Gerrard said, "We're lucky to have him and we need to enjoy him while he's here because if he keeps performances up like this, I hate to say it, but the big guns are going to be sniffing which is what we don't want.
"Luis is the key to that (Champions League qualification). If he can stay in this form and keep producing good performances and goals like that, there's no doubt we'll finish in the top four and that's what Luis wants and that's what he deserves, he deserves to be in the Champions League. A player of that quality has to be in the Champions League.
"I think on current form he's the best player in the world and that's not being biased because he's my team-mate and I'm a big fan of him."
Suarez was heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool in the summer as he seeked to join a club playing in the Champions League. Arsenal are the only side who made an official bid which was swiftly rejected by the Reds. It tool Steven Gerrard himself to convince Suarez to stay this season and help get the side back into Europe's elite competition.
So far, so good for Liverpool as we lie second in the league and well on course to finish in the top four. Gerrard's fears are genuine, there are going to be teams coming in for Suarez, even as early as this January. But I am sure Liverpool are Suarez will hold firm in January and see out the rest of the season. The summer could be a different story as Suarez will almost certainly leave if the Reds do not finish in the top four. But if we do make it into the Champions League, it is not 100% guaranteed that Suarez will stay but we will be in a much better position to convince him to stay.


Our tablescape at The Tampa Museum of Art fuses floral and decor… into a modern masterpiece. Floral and fabric intertwining… adding richness to the cold formed lucite slab. Crystal and glass play off one another to add firmness to the billowing flowers. Yet the orchids manage to break away… cascading to the floor in a race to free itself from the structure. Flames dance freely… flickering… flamboyantly. Just as you feel complete… one looks beyond the obvious… drawing the eye deeper… upwards to the reflected University of Tampa skyline. Enjoy!

As summer turns into fall, it is hard to ignore leaves as they change colour and drop from trees. While these changes to your neighbourhood might look pleasant, they are not doing your gutters any favours. With each passing day, or gust of wind, organic debris is being dislodged and deposited onto your roof and into your gutters and downspouts. Whether high or low, perimeter drains do not get the attention that they deserve. Some property owners lack the time or technique for a proper eco friendly Edmonton gutter cleaning services, but our Gorillas have both!
Canadian homes and businesses are always evolving to become more comfortable and more efficient. Gutters (or an eavestrough) do their job, keeping things running smoothly, but that is only when they are in condition to do so. When your drainage system is working its best, pipes and downspouts carry water and direct it away from buildings. This drainage system not only collects water but directs it away from the edges of your property. This stops flooding of gardens, backyards and prevents water from leaking into the interior areas of your home or business.
Sitting water can backup against the surface of your roof, softening and wearing away important construction materials. This means repairs, replacements to both the exterior and even interior areas. Organics break down, retaining moisture and trapping it against the materials of your roof. This creates a sort of miniature eco-system inside your gutters. A cozy, damp and covered space attracts a ton of insects as well. The only way to protect your home from the inside out from this water damage is to keep this environment clear of blockages.
Fall winds dislodge organic materials from trees, leaving them to fall onto the surfaces of roofs and eventually into gutters. Leaves, sticks, needles, branches, seed pods and pine cones are the usually suspects for clogged gutters. It can be difficult to treat large and small debris, but our Gorilla have a system for it all! More than simply running a hand through gutters and grabbing at blockages, our Gorillas highly recommend the use specialty tools. By combining specially-designed vacuums and sponge techniques, drains are left spotless. In addition to clearing these gutters, our Gorillas want to keep home and property owners in the loop at all times. Before and after photos provide our customers peace of mind (while safely on the ground!). Call Gorilla Property Services today for your free estimate and exceptional cleaning experience within Edmonton and the surrounding areas.


Forbes has a makeover contest for this graph.
Gavin McMahon, from Powerful Point, did this version and I explained in the comments what I thought was wrong with both versions.
The main problem is that the headline is plain wrong. The data presented here does not imply that LinkedIn referral traffic is 16 times higher for B2B than B2C companies. This graph does not even give the data to make this statement because we don't know how many referrals each type of companies get. What we have is the shares of the referrals by three social media. This is not a small point: if you're a B2B company investing your advertising money in social media, you would be wrong to think that you would get more clicks through LinkedIn than a B2C company. You might just get less clicks through Facebook.
The second problem is that the headline does not match the visualization. In the headline, the authors compare B2B and B2C companies. In the graphs, they primarily compare the social media share for each type of company. If the comparison should be LinkedIn to LinkedIn, then show it.
After that, I felt I had to put myself out there and make a proposal. Here is my version.
Gavin took the slide to a higher level though by focusing on the main message. I thought that the message went beyond LinkedIn and that the dominance of Facebook was part of it. After all, despite the LinkedIn gain, a B2B company would be wise to continue investing mostly in Facebook according to this data. I also felt that the title was not clear enough so I rewrote it.
The "parts-of-a-whole" is not the main story here, so there is no need to use a type of graph that shows it. The story is the difference in the share of LinkedIn referrals, along with the dominance of Facebook in both cases. I chose a bar graph because it conveys directly the messages in the data: Facebook is big, LinkedIn varies a lot. Joe Mako made a slopegraph that has the advantage of showing how twitter and LinkedIn swap second position, but there seems to be too little data to use such a rare graph.
I kept the color scheme because I understand that this is meant to be eye-catching. Personally, I wouldn't use so much red. I put the company logo at the bottom, out of the way of the main message. My version is less pretty than the original, although I hope it is more accurate and makes it easier to understand and engage with the data.
I don't dislike pie charts all that much, but I rarely find a use for them. This particular case is not about getting rid of pie charts, but about using a visualization that is appropriate for the data and the message.


Markets dipped on Tuesday as investors awaited the outcome of the US mid-term elections. In Ireland, the Iseq Overall Index closed down 0.9 per cent at 6,136.33.
Building materials giant and Iseq index heavyweight CRH fell 3.28 per cent to €25.67. Traders said caution about developments in the US, the group's biggest market, may have put investors off the stock. However, US rivals such as Martin Marietta rose on the back of good results.
Insulation specialist Kingspan climbed 2.19 per cent to €40.20. Traders indicated that the company was due to be included in a number of key international indices shortly.
Packaging maker Smurfit Kappa gained almost 1 per cent to €28.78 as UK rival DS Smith told investors that it expected good first-half results. Smurfit closed at €28.78.
Budget airline Ryanair fell 1.35 per cent to €12.42. IAG, owner of competitors such as Aer Lingus and British Airways, issued positive passenger numbers earlier on Tuesday.
Among Irish-focused stocks, house builder Cairn Homes rose 1.5 per cent to €1.464. Hibernia Reit, due to publish interim results next week, inched up 0.3 per cent to €1.354. In the same business, Green Reit tumbled 1.25 per cent to €1.424.
Bookmaker William Hill plunged more than 6 per cent after warning that increased betting duty and regulatory costs would cut profits by £20 million sterling this year and £25 million next year.
The stock closed 6.04 per cent down at 200.7 pence sterling on the back of the news.
Morrisons ended near the bottom of the pile after seeing sales growth slow following the hot summer and World Cup. Group like-for-like sales excluding fuel were up 5.6 per cent in the 13 weeks to November 4th.
This was lower than the 6.3 per cent growth recorded in the previous quarter as the football and hot weather encouraged shoppers to stock up on food and drink. Shares closed down 10.05p or 4.1 per cent at 244.5p.
Penneys owner owner Associated British Foods (ABF) ended top of the index as investors looked past a 2.1 per cent decline in sales at the budget clothing chain.
In the UK, sales rose 1.2 per cent and the business, which trades as Primark in Britain, increased its share of the total clothing market significantly. Overall sales were 5.3 pre cent ahead of last year. ABF shares closed up 72p or 3.01 percent at 2,460p.
DS Smith, a rival of Irish-based multi-national cardboard box maker, gained 1.07 per cent to 385.1p after saying that it expected first-half profits to beat last year's results.
Zalando shares tumbled 8.5 per cent after Europe's biggest online-only fashion retailer reported its slowest rate of sales growth since it was launched a decade ago, and recorded a loss due in part to unseasonably warm weather.
Shares in Austrian engineering group Andritz fell 4.3 per cent after it missed third-quarter operating profit forecasts due to higher costs at its metals unit and lower earnings at its hydro operations.
Spanish wind turbine maker Siemens Gamesa surged 14 per cent after reporting strong order intake. Danish peer Vestas Wind also climbed 6.1 per cent.
Drug maker Morphosys shares jumped 8 per cent after it forecast revenues at the upper end of its guided range.
Postal and logistics firm Deutsche Post gained 3.4 per cent after its profit decline was less steep than analysts had expected.
US stocks rose as strong earnings and easing of trade tensions lifted materials and industrial sectors but volumes were light as uncertainty about the midterm elections kept investors on the sidelines.
Ten of the 11 major S&P sectors were higher, led by a 1.34 per cent gain in the materials index. Shares of fertiliser company Mosaic Co rose 7.7 per cent and building materials producer Martin Marietta Materials gained 6.8 per cent after strong results.
Healthcare stocks got a boost from a 17.6 per cent jump in Mylan NV and 4.3 per cent rise in pharmacy chain CVS Health Corp after their results.

Q: Emscripten can't find path to cmake I've gone over the instructions several times, looked in countless forums, and still can't resolve this issue.
I'm running Windows 10, and simply trying to install Emscripten. I've got Emscripten installed:

I run
# Fetch the latest registry of available tools.
emsdk update

followed by
# Download and install the latest SDK tools.
emsdk install latest

But it continues to throw the same warning about being unable to find the path to cmake.
I've downloaded and installed cmake-3.3.2-win32-x86. I cannot create the PATH from the installation though, because it says the file length is too long. odd, because it is installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin
I figured I could set the path myself, as seen in this SO post. Therefore, I used this command after the image above:
set PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin\";%PATH%

and have the same issue. I'm fresh out of ideas. Could it have to do with the fact that 64 bit versions of clang and the sdk are being installed, but Cmake only comes in 32bit flavor?

A: Quotes aren't needed in PATH environmental variables on Windows.
set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin\;%PATH%

in sage 5.4, the graph obtained is really unaccurated.
However, for the circle of radius sqrt(3) works fine. Does anybody know why?
Of course I know there are several ways to plot a circle, but i want do do like this for showing my pupils some applications of integral calculus.
I think it is important to have a "plot" command working properly, since it is extensively used in teaching.
This is a common numerical problem when plotting as the function approaches a vertical asymptote.
Raising the number of points plotted will make the picture nicer.
Generally, to plot a circle, it might be best to use implicit_plot.
Yes, implicit plotting is the way to go.
Of course there are several ways to fix it, but my point is that I don't understand why it works with sqrt(3) and don't with sqrt(2). It seems a problem in accuracy. And it leads to a maybe not good algorithm for painting.
I think this kind of simple examples can transmit a poor image of Sage to pupils. Moreover, if you simply google "plot sqrt(2-x^2)" you obtain a more precise graph. And if you use an obsolete software like Mathematica 4.2 you obtain an ugly graph, but precise at extreme points. And maybe in older versions the result is the same, but i can't check it.
My point of view in this question is not to find alternatives to do a simple task when a command is not working properly in comparison to other softwares. Since it is an easy question there are several alternatives, but believe me, not all pupils are able to find them. My purpose is to ask if someone knows why the command is behaving like this and more interesting, if is there any plan to change it.
Sorry for my answer, but my wish is improve Sage.
I don't know the reason, but you are right and it is very funny, for example sqrt(17) gives a closed circle, sqrt(19) does not.
Using a numerical approximation seems to create closed circles in any case.
