The term representational state transfer was introduced and defined in 2000 by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation at UC Irvine. REST has been applied to describe desired web architecture, to identify existing problems, to compare alternative solutions and to ensure that protocol extensions would not violate the core constraints that make the web successful. Fielding used REST to design HTTP 1.1 and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).To the extent that systems conform to the constraints of REST they can be called RESTful. RESTful systems typically, but not always, communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) that web browsers use to retrieve web pages and to send data to remote servers. REST systems interface with external systems as web resources identified by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), for example /people/tom, which can be operated upon using standard verbs such as GET /people/tom. The name "Representational State" is intended to evoke an image of how a well-designed Web application behaves: a network of web pages (a virtual state-machine), where the user progresses through the application by selecting links (state transitions), resulting in the next page (representing the next state of the application) being transferred to the user and rendered for their use.
REST was defined by Roy Thomas Fielding in his 2000 PhD dissertation "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures". Fielding developed the REST architectural style in parallel with HTTP 1.1 of 1996-1999, based on the existing design of HTTP 1.0 of 1996.
In a retrospective look at the development of REST Roy Fielding said: Throughout the HTTP standardization process, I was called on to defend the design choices of the Web. That is an extremely difficult thing to do within a process that accepts proposals from anyone on a topic that was rapidly becoming the center of an entire industry. I had comments from well over 500 developers, many of whom were distinguished engineers with decades of experience, and I had to explain everything from the most abstract notions of Web interaction to the finest details of HTTP syntax. That process honed my model down to a core set of principles, properties, and constraints that are now called REST.
The architectural properties of REST are realized by applying specific interaction constraints to components, connectors, and data elements. One can characterise applications conforming to the REST constraints described in this section as "RESTful". If a service violates any of the required constraints, it cannot be considered RESTful. Complying with these constraints, and thus conforming to the REST architectural style, enables any kind of distributed hypermedia system to have desirable non-functional properties, such as performance, scalability, simplicity, modifiability, visibility, portability, and reliability.

Buschgotthardshütten (mundartlich auch Boschgotthardshütten) war eine Hüttensiedlung Weidenaus und von 1622 bis 1937 eigenständige Gemeinde im nördlichen Siegener Stadtgebiet im Kreis Siegen.

1467 baute Gotthard Busch eine Hammerhüttenanlage im späteren Ortsgebiet auf. Die wachsende Siedlung trennte sich im Jahr 1622 von Weidenau und bildete eine eigenständige Gemeinde im Amt Weidenau, deren Kirchspiel erst Siegen und ab 1874 Weidenau war. Am 1. April 1902 und am 26. Juni 1912 wurden jeweils Teile der Gemeinde Buschgotthardshütten (40 ha und 51 ha) in die Stadt Siegen eingegliedert. Ab 1927 gehörte der Ort dem Amtsgericht und Finanzamt Siegen sowie der Post in Weidenau an.

1925 hatte die Gemeinde Buschgotthardshütten eine Gesamtfläche von 256,53 ha und zählte 543 Einwohner, davon waren 461 evangelisch, 70 katholisch und zwölf gehörten zu anderen Konfessionen. Neben der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Buschgotthardshütten bestanden Elektrizitäts-, Gas- und Wasserversorgungen. Ein Sportplatz und ein Erholungsheim waren eingerichtet. Die Gemeindevertretung zählte sieben Sitze.

Am 1. April 1937 wurde die Gemeinde Buschgotthardshütten aufgelöst und auf die Stadt Siegen (104 ha) und die Gemeinde Weidenau (143 ha) aufgeteilt. Ab dem 1. Juli 1966 gehört der Weidenauer Teil zur neuen Stadt Hüttental. Seit dem 1. Januar 1975 gehört die gesamte ehemalige Gemeinde Buschgotthardshütten zu Siegen.

Teil der ehemaligen Gemeinde Buschgotthardshütten war die Siedlung Charlottental.

Abriss und Ende

Nach dem Entschluss der Landesregierung zum Bau einer großen Umgehungsstraße für Siegen begannen Anfang 1970 bereits die ersten Abrissarbeiten.

Der Abriss dauerte in Teilen bis 1975 und beendete damit die Geschichte des Ortes Buschgotthardtshütten.

An der Stelle wo sich einstmals der Ortskern befand steht heute die Hüttentalstraße B62 / B54 mit der Abzweigung nach Weidenau und nach Dreis-Tiefenbach.

An den Ort selbst erinnert heute nur sehr wenig, vereinzelte Häuser sind aber erhalten geblieben.

All Points West In the Rain
Alexandria Symonds
"Well," my ever-patient boyfriend mused when we finally got to our first show at All Points West, "this is why you don't hold a music festival in a bog. Northern New Jersey is a bog."
He's right: thanks to the unrelenting downpour today, Jersey City's Liberty State Park was a saturated, muddy mess by the time we got there around 7 p.m. (I missed a couple of acts I wanted to see today, like Fleet Foxes and Shearwater, because of my day job. Judging by the post-work crowd sharing the ferry over from Battery Park, it was a common predicament.) Something positive did come out of the weather, though: since most of the attendees' carefully chosen plaid button-downs and graphic tees were obscured by plastic ponchos, that great sartorial equalizer, everyone was more focused on the music than on checking one another out.
This is more like it: though the mud was still pretty much everywhere, the second day of All Points West brought lots of sunshine and happy festival-goers.
We started out in the early-afternoon comedy tent, where Judah Friedlander was doing his thing. It was the funniest stand-up I've seen in a while, largely because so much of it appears to be improvised: Friedlander establishes his character, "the world champion of the world," by explaining his outrageous athletic prowess, then asks for questions and riffs off of them. Someone asked about track and field, and Friedlander said he'd been banned from doing the decathlon because he does it all so fast -- while it usually takes two days to complete, he explained, "I get it all done in about twenty-six minutes. I go straight from the hundred-meter dash to the 1500 to the 10,000, then straight into the discus and the shot-put. Which means I've been carrying the discus and the shot-put during all those previous activities."
We were curious about the next act, Tim and Eric, who apparently have a show on Cartoon Network and whose fans were out in full force for their set. We saw the beginning of the show -- slideshow of pictures accompanied by the word "diarrhea" being sung over and over -- and decided it wasn't our style. We got some food and festival swag instead! I ended up with, among other things, a State Farm bandanna and, blessedly, a carabiner with SPF-30 sunscreen from Toyota. The guy dispensing prizes at the booth took one look at my freckle-prone skin and laughed, "Oh, this is perfect." We also checked out the Renegade Craft Fair tent, where crafty young hipsters had set up tables with exactly the sort of screen-printed t-shirts and vintage jewelry you'd expect. I got a necklace: the back of a Scrabble tile painted with a picture of a bird. The shy vendor explained that she got her design ideas from old matchbooks and French dictionaries.
There was also an itty-bitty plane flying around throughout the afternoon, advertising a Killers show in September:
Much of Day 3 was rained out -- the doors didn't open until after 4 p.m. due to the thunderstorms, all the early acts were canceled, and legions of Twitterers, waiting near the ferry, furiously tweeted that it would be better to stay home. So I did just that! Better luck with the weather next year, APW...
APW, it should be noted, is a 'music and arts' festival, sort of like how SXSW is a 'music and film' festival. There are some pretty cool art installations scattered around, like the one below—check out how different it looked after nightfall.
Karen O appears to have a love-hate relationship with her hot-pink microphone: at one point during 'Y-Control' she fit its whole round head into her mouth, undoubtedly sending some of the boys in the audience into a jealous stupor...
The H and M tent features a free photo booth with old-timey photo strips, as well as something called a 'water bar,' which is exactly as silly as it sounds: baristas serve up tap water in free plastic bottles. Since you're not allowed to bring your own water to the festival, it's actually a welcome reprieve. Dionne (above) told me she felt lucky to stay dry all day while everyone outside got soaked.
I dug the drummer's shades and the bassist's tie.
St. Vincent's touring throughout the rest of August, taking a break, then playing nearly every day in October. Check them out if you can -- I think she'd be even better in a club setting.
Chairlift actually sounded better much further back; I was happy to see such a big turnout at the smallest of three shows around the same time (Chairlift was up against Neko Case and Gogol Bordello).
We headed back up to the mainstage to see the show I'd been anticipating the most: My Bloody Valentine, who went on at 8:15. The crowd was huge, the show was loud: in short, it was everything I'd hoped. I experienced some major jealousy over singer/guitarist Bilinda Butcher's getup: a bright red, '50s-tailored dress with a rosette and a perfect pair of matching T-strap heels. I don't think I've ever seen a lady band member look so classy onstage.
They stuck mainly to Loveless stuff, probably knowing (as Chairlift did) that their sophomore album is by far the better-known one—as I remember it, only one or two songs in the entire set were from Isn't Anything. What blew me away is how stoic they all are: Kevin Shields can play a thirteen-minute riff and look the whole time like he's just waiting for his tea to steep.And, at the end of the show, play a thirteen-minute riff is exactly what they all did. The tension was incredible: I actually started shaking.
Afterward, Chairlift followed the cardinal rule of festival artist etiquette -- pull out the crowd-pleasers -- and played all the best-known material from Does You Inspire You (including "Bruises," which was on an iPod commercial, and 'Evident Utensil,' whose video is notable for scooping Kanye West in a cutting-edge post-production technique known as data moshing). They also played my favorite song, 'Planet Health' -- a bizarre re-imagining of high-school health class, with a cool Asian-inspired motif -- right at the beginning. The show was a little disappointing, though, which wasn't the band's fault—the bass was turned up way too loud, so a lot of Caroline Polachek's delicate upper-register gymnastics was lost.

Who runs Bajrang Dal? Here are the men who power 'moral policing & vigilante' Hindutva group
From getting police to cancel Munawar Faruqui's show to invading Christian prayer meets to throwing ink at Prakash Jha, the Bajrang Dal has been on a renewed offensive.

By SHANKER ARNIMESH
New Delhi: Last week, Munawar Faruqui's show in Bengaluru was cancelled with police citing law and order as the reason, prompting the stand-up comic to hint that he is exiting the profession. Faruqui has been in the eye of the storm since he was arrested earlier this year in Indore for alleged derogatory jokes about Hindu deities and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
One of the groups that had a hand in the show's cancellation is the Bajrang Dal. "We have complained to the administration about his shows. He is continually making fun of Hindu rituals and India. It can't be tolerated. We've said that if he holds shows, we can disturb them," said Bajrang Dal Karnataka convener Sunil K.R.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. The Bajrang Dal has taken up a litany of causes in the past few years, from protesting against alleged proselytisation in Karnataka to attacking the sets of Prakash Jha's web series Aashram. Its members have also reportedly been on the lookout for inter-faith couples in Uttar Pradesh to report alleged instances of what it describes as "love jihad", or conversion on the premise of marriage.
But what is it that makes this group tick — and who are its leaders?
National convener Sohan Singh Solanki said their "primary task is to protect our Hindu religion and culture". "We will teach a cultural lesson to all those who try to harm or humiliate it. We will force them to recite Hanuman Chalisa," he added.
Founded on 1 October 1984 to guard a shobha yatra launched by the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) as part of the Ram temple movement, the Bajrang Dal has evolved far beyond its initial role as a security force, and is often called the VHP's youth wing.
Today, it claims to have more than 40 lakh members around the country, organised into 52,000 units. Its influence is believed to be greatest in Madhya Pradesh, where it has around 15,000 units, followed by Rajasthan and Gujarat with 5,000-7,000 units.
It's a big organisation with a hierarchy to match.
Sohan Singh Solanki, national convener
Solanki is the organisation's eighth national convener. A resident of Dhar, a tribal-dominated region in Madhya Pradesh, he spent 30 years as a full-time pracharak for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) before joining the Bajrang Dal. He was the latter's co-convener for a year and a half before being appointed national convener in 2018.
This was a time when the Bajrang Dal went on the offensive across the country, in the name of causes ranging from opposing 'love jihad', cow slaughter and proselytisation to protesting against the portrayal of Hindu deities on TV and OTT platforms. And against comedians who "maligned" India's image.
Solanki led it from the front. After the Ram temple movement, he spearheaded a similar agitation back in Dhar alongside the VHP's Naval Kishore to take control of Bhojshala, an archaeological site and place of worship claimed by both Hindus and Muslims.
Speaking about Faruqui, Solanki said the comedian "is not an individual but an idea: how to denigrate Hinduism". "It can't be tolerated," he added.
Suryanarayana, national co-convener
Suryanarayana has been associated with the VHP for the past 20 years, ever since he finished his education, and is currently the Bajrang Dal's national co-convener.
A native of south Karnataka, he was made convener of the state's Bajrang Dal unit in 2008 when predecessor Mahendra Kumar was removed from his post and arrested due to a controversy involving the Christian community.
Bajrang Dal members had allegedly attacked Christian missionaries, schools and more than 20 churches in Mangaluru and Udupi, leading to massive protests by Christians.
Suryanarayana held the state convener post for 10 years. In 2018, he issued a warning against New Year's parties, threatened to forcibly shut down all hookah bars, and said partying midnight increased the risk of sexual exploitation for women.
"Our dal was established to to protect Hindus and culture. There is a continuous campaign of conversion and 'love jihad' going on. When we get the news, we act, but we also do a lot of seva (service) in tribal areas," Suryanarayana told ThePrint.
Bharat Batra, Delhi provincial convener
Bharat Batra has been associated with the VHP for the past 10 years, and was a vibhag pramukh in that organisation.
In January last year, the VHP and the Bajrang Dal launched a major agitation against the removal of a Hanuman temple — carried out on court orders — as part of a beautification drive at Chandni Chowk in Delhi. Batra was jailed as a result of this protest.
Batra, who works in real estate, says the Bajrang Dal was formed on the premise of "protecting the Hindu dharma". Be it the killing of Bajrang Dal activist Rinku Sharma in Mangolpuri, Delhi, this February, or the murder of Nikita Tomar in Ballabhgarh, Haryana in October last year, Batra, being the provincial convener of the Bajrang Dal, has led protests everywhere.
"Nikita was murdered because she did not want to become a Muslim and the accused was forcing her to convert to Islam. We can't afford to compromise on the issue of 'love jihad'," said Batra.
He added, "Nowadays, photos of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are printed on tiles in some shops and people walk on them. We have warned these shopkeepers to remove these tiles or else be ready to face the consequences."
Sushil Sudele, Madhya Pradesh provincial convener
In October 2021, film-maker Prakash Jha was shooting his web series Aashram in Bhopal when Bajrang Dal members ransacked his set, and spilt some ink on Jha. They accused Jha of intentionally choosing the name Aashram to defame the Hindu religion. The protest was led by Sushil Sudele, the group's Madhya Pradesh convener.
The state police registered the names of seven people, including Sudele, in the FIR filed in the matter. However, Sudele was granted bail within 24 hours.
In 2014, a Bhopal court had sentenced him to 14 years of imprisonment in a case of conspiracy related to a murder that took place in 2011. However, Sudele was granted bail in this case in 2015.
Sudele is also a relative of former Bhopal Mayor and BJP Madhya Pradesh vice-president Alok Sharma.
Sunil K.R., Karnataka provincial convener
In April this year, four Bajrang Dal activists barged into a bus in Mangaluru and allegedly attacked a Muslim youth who was traveling to Bengaluru with a female friend. Sunil K.R., convener of the Bajrang Dal in Karnataka, was quoted as saying at the time that this was a 'love jihad' issue and that they had carried out the attack to prevent it.
On 28 November, some Bajrang Dal activists forcibly entered a Christian prayer meeting at Belur in Hassan district, making allegations of proselytisation, and allegedly chased away the people who were praying. Before that, a video of Bajrang Dal activists creating a ruckus and singing hymns in a makeshift church in Hubli had gone viral.
Sunil, also a former VHP man, was in charge during all these incidents. He also said he was involved in pressuring police into forcing the cancellation of Munawar Faruqui's show.
"What kind of humor is created by insulting Hindu deities and India? We will not allow this. Our outfit has been formed to spread good culture in society," he said. He added that there are more than 38,000 Bajrang Dal activists in Karnataka.
Jwalit Mehta, North Gujarat convener
In August, Mehta set fire to a copy of the Kamasutra displayed in Latitude, a bookshop in Ahmedabad. He then posted a video in which he is seen threatening the shopkeeper. Mehta tells the shopkeeper that if he continues to sell this book, the shop itself will be burned.
Mehta has been in the Bajrang Dal for 20 years, and is currently convenor of its North Gujarat unit. In September, his team had put up posters in Muslim-dominated areas in the state, saying no Muslim should try to enter any Garba function (a dance performed during Navaratri in honour of the Goddess).
The same month, the Gujarat Bajrang Dal issued a threat to Munawar Faruqui, reportedly saying he might be attacked if he dared to host his show anywhere in the state. The planned programme was subsequently cancelled.
Mehta defends the group's activities. "Why would Muslims enter Garba functions, why would they purchase land in a Hindu area? They should buy land in their own areas. They do it to marry Hindu girls and grab land. We constantly keep track of such activities."
The national-level structure, headed by the convener and co-convener, has a number of provinces under it, with big provinces having three to five conveners.
Activities such as physical exercise and group drills for self-protection are regularly carried out at the Bal Upasana Kendras. The group also holds a weekly sanskar diwas (cultural day) in temples, which includes a collective rendition of Hanuman Chalisa that's ostensibly intended to keep the cadre organised and energetic. They celebrate Hanuman's birthday as Bal Upasana Divas.
Within the organisation, the responsibilities at each centre are divided among six or seven prominent people. These include officers such as the chalisa pramukh, who is responsible for the collective rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa. The akhara pramukh is in charge of physical training.
The suraksha pramukh's responsibility is to inform the state and central units before conducting any raids. The prashikshan pramukh focuses on the year-round training of the cadre.

Report: Trump to Declassify FISA Docs in Coming Weeks
President to launch investigations, say reports
Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - April 22, 2019 Comments
President Trump is expected to declassify FISA documents used to conduct spying on the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 election, according to a report.
The declassification will likely stem from new criminal investigations into FBI and DOJ actions taken during the Obama administration to greenlight the surveillance of Trump campaign officials in 2016.
"With the contents of the Mueller report now public, President Trump and key White House aides are said to be taking a fresh look at declassifying documents that GOP allies believe will expose unlawful actions at the Department of Justice and the FBI purportedly taken against the Trump campaign in 2016," reported James Rosen with Sinclair Broadcasting. "Attorney General William Barr has already begun investigating the investigators at both the DOJ and FBI."
"DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, probing the same matters, is said to be drafting his final report, due within six weeks or so."
In particular, the DOJ is said to be looking into the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in October 2016, during the weeks before the presidential election.
The President intended to release the documents last September, but then decided to hold off until the completion of the Mueller probe.
Interestingly, the FISA warrant on Carter Page was renewed three times, according to reports.
House Republicans previously petitioned the president to declassify 21 pages of the warrant because they believe the pages contain evidence of wrongdoing by FBI and DOJ officials who sought the warrant from a federal judge.
What can we learn from the ancient Greeks that we can apply today?

Italy is the leading producer of rice in Europe, with the majority of it being grown in the abundant Po river valley. Lombardy is home to the best rice growing area, the Lomellina, while Piedmont and Veneto also have bountiful rice harvests. Rice thrives so well in the Po valley that first courses of risotto are more common than pasta and are a great way to serve whatever is in season, from seafood to wild mushrooms (such as Porcini) to meat and game. Anyone that has had a perfectly prepared risotto or any other "riso" dish knows just how serious the people of these areas take their rice.
That is not to say, however, that other regions of Italy do not eat rice, as there are wonderful recipes for using the many varieties grown throughout Italy. From soups to desserts, Italian rice is well utilized.
It is difficult to say just when rice was introduced to Italy, but it was most likely during the late Middle Ages, perhaps the 14th century. It got there from trade with the east, probably brought in by Venetian or Genoese merchants, but the earliest documentation of rice cultivation dates to 1475, possibly decades after the crop had been established. It is not known if Italian farmers adopted the new grain immediately, since the large amounts of water needed to flood rice fields could cause conditions perfect for malaria. The early crops must have been impressive enough for farmers to ignore their fears of disease, since rice quickly became a staple food in the Po valley. Over time, rice growing spread to every corner of Italy, but never took on the prominence it does in Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto.
Italy grows mostly short, barrel shaped rice, different from the long-grain variety that is usually boiled or steamed. Among this type of rice are four categories, based on grain size: comune, semifino, fino, and superfino. The superfino rice is the type most used for risotto, with Arborio being the most recognized outside of Italy. However, Venetian cooks prefer the Carnaroli variety, which was invented in the 1950's. Baldo is another variety well-known for making excellent risotto, but it is a semifino variety. Vialone Nano is also popular – with the Veronese variety given a PGI designation.
A well prepared risotto may just be the richest and most flavorsome dish you may ever eat. Risotto is made with great care, braising the rice and allowing it to absorb the cooking liquid, usually broth. The special rice used in the preparation lends its starches to the cooking liquid, giving the risotto a rich consistency that in some ways resembles a heavy cream sauce. The actual braising of the rice is a standard procedure starting with the rice being toasted in a soffritto (chopped onion, garlic, carrots and celery, sautéd in olive oil), before broth is ladled in slowly. What makes each risotto unique is local ingredients giving the dish its character.
Risotto alla Milanese is arguably the most famous Italian rice dish: it is flavored with saffron and resembles Spanish paella, which makes sense considering Spain had ruled over Milan for over two centuries in the past. In Piedmont it is not unusual to find risotto with truffles or made with red Barolo wine. In Veneto and especially the city of Venice, seafood risotto is a mainstay, with risotto with sautéed eels being a Christmas tradition.
Risotto is versatile, and goes just as well flavored with cuttlefish ink (Nero di Sepia) or with Prosciutto di San Daniele; with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano (added just before serving – Risotto Mantecato) or with wildfowl like quail (Risotto con la Quaglie). Whichever the ingredients used, the cooking technique will blend and smooth out all of the flavors into one incredibly flavorful dish.
Italian rice is not just limited to risotti; one of the more famous of the non-risotto rice dishes is Minestrone alla Milanese. The city of Milan is rightfully proud of its hearty vegetable soup, which makes use of Lombardy's abundant rice. In Veneto, peas and rice (Risi e Bisi) is a popular "wet" risotto that is like a soup made with rice and peas, but thick enough to eat with a fork. Riso al salto is a great way to use up leftover risotto – pressed into patties and fried in butter. Another delicious way to eat leftovers is to add the rice to eggs for an omelette di riso. Supplì and arancini (little oranges) are fried rice balls will a filling usually of cheese, meat sauce and peas; they are a popular snack found in Italian cafés and bars. Rice stuffed tomatoes make a delicious antipasto, especially with the large and juicy variety grown around the Bay of Naples. Rice is also useful in desserts, such as Sicily's Dolce di Castagne e Riso – a delicious rice pudding flavored with chestnuts.

[via press release from ABC]
QUICK TAKE
JENNY MCCARTHY TO APPEAR ON ABC'S "EXTREME MAKEOVER"
Comedic actress/author Jenny McCarthy will appear in an episode of "Extreme Makeover," it was announced today. McCarthy will surprise her mother, Linda Konczal of suburban Chicago, IL, with a mini-makeover which will be headed by stylist Sam Saboura and other Extreme Team experts, THURSDAY, MARCH 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Linda Konczal works as a custodian in a Chicago area court house and refuses to quit her job. Her daughter wants to give her mother the celebrity treatment by whisking her away to Hollywood for a head-to-toe hair/makeup/wardrobe mini-makeover.
Jenny McCarthy ("Scary Movie 3," TV's "Jenny") has been acting for over a decade since she dropped out of nursing school to pursue acting. She stars in the upcoming TV series "The Bad Girls' Guide," and will be seen in her screenwriting film debut, "Dirty Love," directed by her husband, John Asher. She is also the best selling author of "Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth About Pregnancy and Childbirth" and "Baby Laughs: The Naked Truth About the First Year of Mommyhood."
Since its December 2002 premiere, "Extreme Makeover" has become a pop culture phenomenon. Now in its third season, the hit reality series has unveiled some of the most jaw-dropping transformations of people, dramatically and forever changing their lives and looks through plastic surgery. Each new episode features participants in their "before" phase, then as they undergo their various procedures and, finally, when the end results are revealed to their families and friends. The transformations are accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," consisting of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers.
The "Extreme Team" roster includes: prominent board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Garth Fisher, Dr. Anthony Griffin, Dr. Brent Moelleken, Dr. Jon A.

Q: Using R to create forest plots of coefficients for regressions on subsamples I have a dataset of chess positions made up of 100 groups, with each group taking one of 50 positions ("Position_number") and one of two colours ("stm_white"). I want to run a linear regression for each Position_number subsample, where stm_white is the explanatory variable and stm_perform is the outcome variable. Then, I want to display the coefficient of stm_white and the associated confidence interval for each regression in a forest plot. The idea is to be able to easily see which Position_number subsample gives significant coefficients for stm_white, and to compare coefficients across positions. For example, the plot would have 50 y-axis categories labelled with each position number, the x-axis would represent the coefficient range, and the plot would display a horizontal confidence bar for each position number.
Where I'm stuck:

*

*Getting the confidence interval bounds for each regression

*Plotting each of the 50 coefficients (with confidence intervals) on one plot. (I think this is called a forest plot?)

This is how I current get a list of the coefficients for each regression:
fits <- by(df, df[,"Position_number"],
           function(x) lm(stm_perform ~ stm_white, data = x))
# Combine coefficients from each model
do.call("rbind", lapply(fits, coef))

And here is a sample of 10 positions (apologies if there's a better way to show reproducible data):
>dput(droplevels(dfMWE[,c("Position_number","stm_white","stm_perform")]))
structure(list(Position_number = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

with(results, forestplot(Position_number, coefficient, lb, ub))

The forest plot shows the "Position_number" labels on the left and the regression coefficients of "stm_white" with the 95% confidence intervals plotted. You can further customize the plot. See forestplot::forestplot() or this introduction by Max Gordon for details.

NCoS Recaptures 21 Jos Prison Inmates Involved In Jailbreak
At least, 21 of the 262 of the correctional service inmates who escaped from the Jos custodial centre after gunmen attacked the facility, have now been recaptured, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The spokesperson of the command, Geofrey Longdiem, disclosed this on Tuesday in Jos.
Some 262 inmates escaped from the facility on November 28, but the interior ministry said 10 of them had been recaptured.
The spokesperson of NCoS, Francis Enobore, in a statement then announced that 10 persons were killed and 262 inmates escaped during the attack by gunmen.
This newspaper reported how gunmen stormed the facility in the late evening of Sunday and engaged the security personnel of the NCoS in a sporadic gun battle before advancing into the yard.
The police said some escaped inmates had been rearrested. The attackers were 'trapped' within the facility after a gun duel. It is not clear how the standoff ended.
The Jos Medium Security Custodial Centre had 1,060 inmates constituting 560 pre-trial detainees and 500 convicts.
In July, Jos Maximum Prison was attacked and four inmates escaped.
This jailbreak adds up to the 5,238 inmates that have escaped from various prisons across Nigeria in the last one year.
The deputy controller General of NCoS, Mohammed Tukur, in charge of Operations, blamed the attack on the "use of modern equipment and other gadgets".
Mr Longdiem said the Service had in collaboration with other security agencies was working assiduously to arrest the remaining inmates.
"As at today, we have recaptured 21 of the inmates who escaped during the last attack at our custodial centre in Jos," he said
He said some of the inmates voluntarily returned.
NAN also reports that two of the inmates were brought back to the custodial centre by their mother.
The ministry of interior later shared the details of those still on the run.
It advised the public to report to the nearest police station if they came in contact with the persons, warning that they were dangerous.
"The above wanted persons escaped lawful custody from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Jos on Sunday 28 November, 2021," it said.
Following these attacks, Nigerian lawmakers summoned the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa,
About 1993 inmates escaped during the Edo jailbreak in 2020. A similar development occurred in a correctional centre in Owerri, the Imo State capital, where 1,844 prisoners were freed. But 84 inmates were returned to the facility.

Jim Roche is an American contemporary artist, known for his "outsider art" chronicling Southern culture in sculptures, graphics, and performance art since the 1960s. His work, which often adopts the folk motifs of contemporary Southern culture, has occasioned descriptions as both "standing for the far right" and ... "confront[ing] hypocrisy and social injustice ... aligned [] with the downtrodden, disenfranchised and working class populations."

Roche graduated from the University of Dallas in 1970, and taught at Florida State University from 1973 to 2011. Roche was part of the "Oak Cliff Four", a group of artists from Dallas.

He has been an avid motorcycle racer, and has performed small roles in a number of films—for instance, as a televangelist in "The Silence of the Lambs". He is married to artist Alexa Kleinbard.
