Elmer Wexler (August 14, 1918 - October 3, 2007) was an American illustrator and cartoonist.  He is most famous for his work on comic strips and comic books in the 1940s, including being the inventor of the DC comic hero Miss America in 1941.  He is credited with being the first artist to draw a soap-opera style comic strip, Vic Jordan, from 1941.
Later he made his living from illustration, including books, magazines and record covers. He has also been credited as a co-creator of the obscure comic book character The Fighting Yank.  He is the illustrator on a number of books about sports.

Wexler's record cover work was mainly for Grand Award Records, for whom he did almost as many illustrations as did Tracy Sugarman.  These date from the late 1950s.

Q: Get File from Coil In my app I've to use File from images, with the greatest quality, that I get from urls. For that I use Glide :
GlideApp
    .with(App.context)
    .asFile()
    .format(DecodeFormat.PREFER_ARGB_8888)
    .load(url)
    .submit()
    .get()

But for some reasons, I will use Coil instead of Glide. So I have to update my code, for now I do :

val coilRequest = ImageRequest.Builder(context)
    .data(url)
    .allowRgb565(false)
    .allowHardware(false)
    .size(Int.MAX_VALUE)
    .precision(Precision.INEXACT)
    .diskCachePolicy(CachePolicy.DISABLED)
    .memoryCachePolicy(CachePolicy.DISABLED)
    .build()

val bitmap = context.imageLoader.execute(coilRequest).drawable?.toBitmap() ?: throw Exception(...)

val file = File.createTempFile("name", null)

file.outputStream().use { out ->
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out)
    out.flush()
}

I'm not sure about the quality of this code, so anyone has any suggestion to accomplish my goal ?

Catholic Health Initiatives Posts $75 Million in Excess Margin in First Quarter of FY19, Continuing to Solidify Balance Sheet
11/29/18 Press Release
Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the nation's largest nonprofit health care systems, earned about $75 million in the first quarter of the 2019 fiscal year, posting excess margin of approximately 2% as it continued an operational-improvement plan.
The health system, which operates 101 hospitals and hundreds of other facilities in 18 states, generated more than $363 million in total earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBIDA) in the three-month period ending Sept. 30, recording a solid 9.4% EBIDA margin.
Meantime, operating EBIDA for the quarter was $215 million – a 5.8% operating EBIDA margin in the first three quarters of the fiscal year. Operating EBIDA before restructuring totaled about $236 million for the quarter.
"Like many health systems, we continue to deal with a challenging environment – but we recorded healthy numbers and look forward to continuing an improvement plan that has allowed us to solidify our balance sheet," said Dean Swindle, CHI's president for enterprise business lines and chief financial officer.
CHI, which is based in Englewood, Colo., signed a definitive agreement in December 2017 to align its ministry with Dignity Health. The two organizations expect to complete the transaction by December 31, 2018, forming the nation's largest nonprofit health system, with annual revenues of almost $29 billion.
ABOUT CATHOLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES: Catholic Health Initiatives, a nonprofit, faith-based health system formed in 1996 through the consolidation of four Catholic health systems, expresses its mission each day by creating and nurturing healthy communities in the hundreds of sites across the nation where we provide care.

For reasons that escape me, this method of polishing silver has attracted its fair share of controversy online. Turns out, some people don't want their sterling quite so polished; they prefer some patina and tarnish in the detail work. Me. I like things shiny. I grew up in Jersey after all.
All you need is baking soda, tin foil, a non-metallic bowl or container, and boiling hot water.
Oh, and your piece must be sterling. This doesn't work on silver plate.
Line your non-metallic container with tin foil, shiny side up. Put your sterling piece(s) in and sprinkle with about a cup of baking soda.
Fill the container with boiling water, covering the silver. You'll hear, smell and see an immediate reaction — as long as your silver pieces are in direct contact with the foil.
I left my champagne flute in the water until it cooled, washed with dish detergent, and put it back up for display.
No scrubbing, polishing or elbow grease required. That's my kind of cleaning job.
That's a great tip, but your container looks metallic – what is it?
To Anonymous: It's actually a corning dish that I put the tin foil in and then place in the sink. Sorry if the picture is confusing.
This is brilliant! No pun intended — just in time for me to polish up my goodies. Thanks for the tip!
Great tip, I also like my silver all shiny and pretty. How long does this last? I feel like every time I get around to polishing the silver, I put it up and then it's tarnished again.
Would this work on jewelry?
Wow, and for years I polished gobs of my Grandma-ma's silver by hand. Who knew?
By the way, I was SO happy to see your wreath featured at Whisperwood Cottage!
Baking soda is a miracle worker around the house. I once dropped a bottle of shoe dye next to my brand new dresser. Of course it spattered all over the dresser. I got a wet spounge and baking soda and started scrubbing. Believe it or not it all came off and left the finish good as new. When in cleaning doubt, grab the baking soda.
Looks great – wish I could find a similar solution for polishing a large Brass Bed – any suggestions?
Thank you so very much for posting this Linda – your homepage is so beautiful and the flutes are so stunning – what name of brand are they and where can I order some?

Desires and satiety
While the content here is somewhat focused on personal finance, I think it's beneficial to step back and examine the various things that impact our happiness the most. People often seem to be just as ill-advised about what really makes them happy as they are about how to handle their finances. It's a platitude to say that money doesn't buy happiness, but some work in behavioral finance has shown how true this statement is. Jason Zweig explains:
In 1957, the average American earned about $10,000 (adjusted for inflation) and lived without a dishwasher, clothes dryer, television, or air conditioner. But 35% of people surveyed then said they were "very happy" with their lives. By 2004, personal income had nearly tripled after inflation, and the typical house was bursting with consumer goods. Yet just 34% of people now said they were "very happy." Somehow, almost tripling our wealth has made Americans a little less happy--and still we want more.
And we still want more. That's the key right there. Above a certain level it's quite obvious that increases in wealth don't bring much more happiness. See here for where that threshold roughly is. While I'm not big on self-help books, occasionally here we'll explore what can increase happiness, as I find that kind of research fascinating. First up: schooling our desires.
H.L. Mencken once defined a wealthy man as one who earns $100 a year more than his wife's sister's husband. A paper by Neumark and Postlewaite (1998) demonstrates just how accurate Mencken's remark really was. Investigating the effect of relative income by looking at the employment decisions of women and their sisters-in-law, they find that there's a positive effect of sister-in-laws' employment on women's own employment after taking into account common explanatory variables. They explain: "women with non-working sisters are more likely to be employed if their husbands earn less than their sisters' husbands; this result is consistent with women's employment decisions being partly driven by relative income concerns, because women with relatively low-earning husbands and non-working sisters may be able to attain higher relative family income if they work." It appears that our decisions are often largely driven by our wealth as it compares to that of our family, friends, and co-workers. These comparisons are often a large source of unhappiness.
The negative effect of relative-wealth desire on our happiness is pervasive even in relatively austere China. A 2009 paper by Knight and Gunatilaka performed a survey of roughly 9,500 households in rural China to determine the effects of income aspirations on subjective well-being. They found that "aspiration income is a positive function of actual income... and that subjective well-being is raised by actual income but lowered by aspirational income. These findings suggest the existence of a partial hedonic treadmill, and can help explain why subjective well-being in China appears not to have risen despite rapid economic growth."
Essentially, wanting makes us less happy. This has a real eastern religion feel to it, but it is also one of the key tenets of the man who was called, in effect, the quintessential American, i.e., Henry David Thoreau. In Walden he remarks that "a man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone." Elsewhere has says that his "greatest skill in life has been to want but little." Things often have a way of encumbering us.
Accordingly, much of my time would be better spent curbing my desires rather than trying to satisfy each of them. Raise a glass to austerity.

Some thoughts on Irish public opinion on same-sex marriage, the Irish Diaspora and the Senate in late 2012
Larry Donnelly
Attitudes have changed - Thousands turn out for Dublin Pride
In The Irish Times this week, results of a survey of Irish public opinion on a number of issues have been featured. The survey of 1,000 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points was conducted by the polling company, Ipsos/MRBI, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. A consideration of three of the poll's most fascinating results follows.
First is that a majority of those surveyed, 53%, now favor the legalization of same-sex marriage. Just six years ago, less than one-third of Irish people favored marriage rights for same-sex couples. This meteoric rise in support mirrors the global increase in acceptance for the rights of gays and lesbians and an awareness that, notwithstanding the contrary protestations of those opposed to same-sex marriage, there hasn't been a dramatic change in the landscape in those jurisdictions that now allow same-sex marriage.
The poll result on this issue is also partly attributable to the work of Irish non-governmental organizations like Marriage Equality and GLEN (Gay and Lesbian Equality Network) to de-stigmatise homosexual relationships and to demonstrate that most gay and lesbian couples are just like most heterosexual couples. They love each other and want to have that love formally recognized by law. Civil partnerships, which some advocates regard as an important stepping stone and others regard as an unacceptable "marriage-light," are now available for gay and lesbian couples in Ireland.
Where to next is the key question for these lobby groups. While the appeal of the unsuccessful case brought by Senator Katherine Zappone and her partner, Dr. Ann Louise Gilligan, seeking to have their Canadian same-sex marriage recognized will be heard by the Supreme Court early next year, few expect that they will succeed. Legalising same-sex marriage will require constitutional reform. This will be complicated and time consuming, yet seems destined to succeed eventually. The process may be set in motion by an upcoming constitutional convention that is to consider the issue of same-sex marriage, as well as a number of others.
A second interesting result is with respect to voting rights for the Irish diaspora. This issue will also be considered in the constitutional convention. As things stand at present, Irish citizens living outside of Ireland have no voting rights in Irish elections.
The Ipsos/MRBI poll, however, indicates that a large majority, 68%, now believe that Irish citizens living abroad should have the right to vote in presidential elections. This is a heartening result for the diaspora, especially for advocates of emigrant voting. That many people have moved on from the oft-cited view that those who don't pay taxes shouldn't have a say in who governs is particularly welcome. One's sense of nationality and identity is innate and deep. The law should endeavor to give voice to that sense, and not make an arbitrary distinction about Irishness based on when, where and to whom one last paid taxes.
But a lot remains unclear. Do the 68% believe that voting rights should be extended to all Irish citizens abroad, including those who may be generations removed from the land of their ancestors? Or should only recent emigrants have voting rights? And where should the line be drawn? Moreover, how many of the 68% would allow Irish citizens living abroad to vote in parliamentary elections, as well as in elections for the largely symbolic presidency? These difficult questions require teasing out.
A third poll result relates to the abolition of Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Oireachtas (Irish parliament). Strangely, this will not be considered in the constitutional convention. Fine Gael, the lead party in government, has committed to holding a referendum to eliminating the Seanad. Despite being the upper house, the Seanad has less power than the lower house of the Oireachtas, Dáil Éireann. It has been criticized as a talk shop and as something of a rest home for failed or retiring politicians. Additionally, the labyrinthine rules for electing and selecting senators (some are elected, others are appointed by the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister)) are widely regarded as undemocratic.
Unsurprisingly then, the poll reveals that a majority of Irish voters, 55%, want to abolish the Seanad. Some commentators regard this result as a reassuring one for the government. My view is different.
Given the widespread criticism of the Seanad and the reality that the electorate may today be more anti-politician than it has ever been, one would think that a much larger majority would leap at the chance to "fire" politicians. That nearly one of every two voters either favors retention of the Seanad or isn't yet sure indicates to me that a referendum on abolition mightn't be the "slam dunk" the government had envisaged.
Earlier this year, an eminent group of current senators, former elected officials and commentators from across the Irish political spectrum was formed in the name of reforming, not abolishing, the Seanad. A paper drafted by the group, "Seanad Éireann: Open It, Don't Close It," makes a persuasive case that a reformed upper house could play an important role in the political and lawmaking processes.
When and if a referendum on Seanad abolition is scheduled, their influential voices will help shape the contours of the debate. And given how low voter turnout was on the recent children's rights referendum – assuming, as I do, that a higher turnout of less tuned in, casual voters would favor abolition – a win for the government is far from guaranteed. Rumors of the demise of Seanad Éireann may be greatly exaggerated indeed.
These three matters – not to mention the economy – should keep politicians and the commentariat busy for the next while.


Last week he popped the question – and gave you the most gorgeous ring you have ever seen. You said yes. Yesterday, both of you had decided to tie the knot in ten months. Then, what to do next? Where to start? What about budgets? Here are three things to know before planning your wedding.
Do you want an intimate wedding or a huge one? Do you want a standing or seated wedding party? What about his and your family? What are their expectations on the guests' numbers? What kind of wedding pictures do you want?
It is impossible to plan your budget without first, doing your research on the approximate cost in your area. In an extreme example, it wouldn't make sense to plan $1 meal per person and then get stunned because it actually costs you a lot more. Therefore, we suggest that you do your research while constantly looking back and forth toward your own expectations.
Decades ago, we wouldn't really discuss about this, because depending on your culture, it was pretty clear on who pays what on what term. However, these days, there are more people who do not mind to be equally involved in terms of paying the bills. So perhaps it is better to be open about your financial plans right from the beginning so you may plan your wedding budget carefully.

Arrest and Detention under Civil Procedure Code 1908
Published by Admin on April 8, 2021 April 8, 2021
Written by: K. RAJEEV REDDY
To decide the rights and liabilities in a matter at hand, a decree is passed by the court under the Code of Civil Procedure (herein referred to as CPC). The person in whose favour a decree is passed is known as decree-holder and the person against whom the decree is passed is known as a judgment debtor. One such way to pass a decree under CPC is 'arrest and detention'. The laws relating to arrest and detention under the CPC have been covered under Sections 51 to 59 and Rules 30 to 40 of Order XXI.
This provision seeks to provide a remedy to a decree-holder when a lawsuit is passed in favour of him and the judgment debtor has not acted according to the decision. Such a remedy, against the judgment debtor, can be in the form of arrest and detention.
When arrest and detention may be ordered
Under Section 51(c) of CPC, it is given that when a decree-holder moves to the court for executing a decree, the court can execute such decree by the arrest and detention of the judgment debtor.
The decree for arrest and detention may be passed in the following cases given under Order XXI:
Under Rule 30, a decree for the payment of money can be executed by the arrest and detention of the judgement debtor.
Under Rule 31, where the decree is for a specific moveable party, it can be executed by the arrest and detention of the judgement debtor.
Under Rule 32, where the decree is for specific performance of the contract or an injunction, the court can execute the decree by arrest and detention of the judgement debtor.
Who cannot be arrested?
There are certain classes of persons that are exempted from arrest and detention under the various provisions of the CPC. Such persons include:
Women, as per Section 56,
Judicial officers, as per Section 135(1),
Where a matter is pending, their pleaders, mukhtars, revenue-agents, and witnesses acting in obedience to a summons, under Section 135(2),
Members of legislatures, as per Section 135A,
Classes of persons, whose arrest according to the State Government, might be attended with danger or inconvenience to the public, under Section 55(2), and
Where the decretal amount is less than two thousand rupees, under section 58(1A).
Power and duty of Court
Section 55 states that where a judgment debtor is arrested in execution of a decree for the payment of cash and is presented before the court, the court shall inform him to declare himself as insolvent and he can be discharged if he has not done any act in bad faith regarding the subject of the application and if he complies with the law of insolvency which is in force at that time.
According to Order XXI Rule 39, a judgment debtor shall not be arrested for the execution of the decree unless the decree-holder deposits the quantity to the court, fixed by the judge, for the subsistence of the judgment holder, from the time of the arrest until he's delivered to the court. And where such person is committed to the civil prison, the court shall fix the subsistence as a monthly allowance consistent with Section 57, or where such scales are not fixed, the court shall fix because it considers sufficient for that class of the person.
In the case of Amulya Chandra v. Pashupati Nath, the court held that if the judgment debtor despite having the means to pay the decretal amount refuses to pay, he is often detained. However, it must be checked whether such a person has the means to pay and refuses to pay the amount in bad faith. These provisions were widely explained in the case of Jolly George Verghese v. Bank of Cochin, where Justice Krishna Iyer stated that an easy default isn't enough, there must be a component of bad faith beyond mere indifference to paying; some deliberate refusal or the present means to pay a decree or a substantial part of it.
Period of Detention
Section 58 specifies the time that an individual is often detained for, which is set consistent with the amount of the decree which has been passed against him by the court, and where he did not pay that decretal amount. It says that an individual can't be detained for not more than three months if the decretal amount exceeds five thousand rupees and, for an amount between two thousand to five thousand rupees, such detention cannot exceed six weeks. If the amount of money doesn't exceed two thousand rupees, no order for detention of the judgment debtor is often made.
Release of judgment-debtor
Under Section 58, the person who has been detained in civil prison shall be released before the said period of detention on the subsequent grounds:
Where the decree against him has been fully satisfied,
Where the amount of money mentioned within the warrant for his detention has been paid to the policeman,
Where the person on whose application the person was detained requests so, or
Where the person on whose application such detention was made omits to pay subsistence allowance.
Section 59 provides that a warrant issued by a court for the arrest of the person is often canceled anytime if there's some serious illness to the judgment-debtor. And if such arrest has already been made, and it appears to the court that the person isn't during a fit state of health to be in prison, may order for his release.
Where the judgment debtor has been committed to prison, he could also be released:
By the government, if there exists some infectious or contagion, or
By the court which granted the execution;
Or any court which is superior to the above court, on the grounds of great illness.
This provision shall be applied liberally since it's a beneficial provision.
Also, when an individual is released after the completion of the amount of the arrest given under Section 58, the person isn't discharged from his duty to pay the decretal amount to the decree-holder.
Where an individual intends to use to be declared as an insolvent under Section 55 and furnishes security to the satisfaction of the court, that he will apply for being insolvent within one month which he will appear when involved in the proceedings associated with the insolvency application or for the execution of the decree of which he was arrested, the court can release him for such period and if he fails to use for the appliance and to seem, the court can direct the safety to be realized that was given by him or commit him to prison.
Where an inquiry is pending under sub-rule 1 of Order XXI Rule 40, the court can order the discharge of the judgment debtor, upon its discretion if the judgment debtor furnishes the safety to the satisfaction of the court for his appearance before the court.
Also, the court to offer the chance of satisfying a decree to the judgment debtor, before ordering the detention of the person, under sub-rule 3 of Order XXI Rule 40, can provide fifteen days to the judgment debtor for satisfying the decree, by leaving the person in custody of the policeman or may release him on furnishing security to the satisfaction of the court, on the condition that the person will appear after the expiration of the required period if the decree isn't satisfied before the top of the amount.
Where the court doesn't make an order of detention under sub-rule 3 of Order XXI Rule 40, it can refuse the appliance, and if the judgment debtor is already under arrest, order for his release.
Re-arrest of judgment-debtor
Any person that has been released on grounds of great illness under Section 59 is often arrested again but the amount of detention in aggregate shouldn't be quite that prescribed by Section 58.
Any person whose period of arrest has been completed as given under Section 58 can't be arrested again under the decree in execution of which he was detained within the civil prison.
Any person that has been released under Order XXI Rule 40 is often re-arrested.

Elise said without hesitation, "Little Rin, have you forgotten? He's my cousin."
Then it is confirmed. The pink-haired man was one of the protagonist's best friends, the Gioral Queen's brother's son, Sherlock.
Rayne was irritated when Rin was casually chatting with a girl and directly ignored him. Rayne felt that he must force Rin Fenix to apologize for his evil deeds.

"What? Did I hear that right? A baron telling me what to do? May I ask you, Classmate Rayne, which part of your body has been hurt? It can't be that you bit your tongue while kissing, right? If so, you should ask Classmate Sherlock for an explanation, right?"

After saying that, even Rin himself felt that he was too much. As a villain, his mockery level has reached the highest.

He himself could only carry such evil deeds, and be misunderstood and scorned by the world.
But since he decided to be a villain, he would carry out the full interpretation to the end.
"Do you want me to apologize? That's impossible. If you really want to teach me how to respect to people, then you'll have to make me by duelling me. Oh I forgot, you are an alchemist, I wonder how good an alchemist's combat power is?"
"Do you want me to apologize? That's impossible. If you want to teach me how to respect people, then come on, let's duel for it. Oh, I forgot you are an alchemist, I wonder how good an alchemist's combat power is?"
Rayne looked at Rin coldly, "I can teach you a lesson if you agree that I can use my alchemical weapon."
Rin snapped his fingers, "Of course, I will see how you are going to teach me a lesson."
"If you lose, then you have to apologize to me and Sherlock, and if I lose, then I will apologize as well."
"Hmm, that's fair."
Rayne smiled and a hint of joy flashed through his eyes.
He just happened to synthesize out a shotgun with rubber bullets earlier, and it was enough to make this evil youngster suffer at this distance.
Thinking so, his eyes suddenly became soft, looking at Elise who was standing behind Rin.
"Your Highness, you should stand farther away, otherwise you will be hurt."
Elise shook her head and said in a dignified and gracious manner, "Thank you, but I can cast holy light shield magic on myself, therefore, you can't hurt me. Not to mention, I can save the wounded in time once any of you are hurt."

As Rin's fiancée, she could not interfere with what her fiancé was doing, even so she would choose to stand behind Rin.

Somehow, Rayne always gave her an odd feeling.
Her heart faintly felt that something would go wrong if little Rin didn't take him seriously.
"Little Rin, be careful!"
Looking at the "goddess" saying that to the villain, Rayne only felt his heart bleeding.
How does a vile villain like him deserve such a good girl!

Rin on the contrary, didn't really care about what Rayne said and didn't ask Elise to walk away.

Are you kidding me? It's no way that their attacks could break Elise's holy light shield. Moreover, he himself will be beaten very badly and need her treatment later.
Hence, after scolding Christo who was still holding his head in fear, Rin and Rayne stood respectively at the two ends.

The atmosphere was suddenly nervous.
By now, the kuudere Hero had lost her mind from hunger.
She overtrained last night, missed dinner, and later missed her evening snack. Because she passed out from hunger last night, she also missed breakfast.

At this point, Rayne had already taken out his shotgun and loaded the rubber bullets. As soon as the referee said, "Start!", he raised his gun.
He needed to defeat the opponent directly before he finished chanting.
Aiming at the villain, he pulled the trigger and the bullet was shot out quickly.
At this time, the Hero girl had drifted to Rin, and her sleepwalking eyes changed. Sensing the danger, she instinctively drew the sword.
A circle formed by the wind beneath her feet swept up the dust on the ground, and the long sword in Emilia's hand turned into a blistering wind, which immediately sliced through the oncoming bullets.
Not only that, it seemed that she regarded the opponent Rayne as the villain who would steal her chicken leg, she slashed the sword in her hand hard towards the air in front of her. WIth the wind blade of the sword, Rayne was immediately blown away.
Coincidentally, Sherlock just got up and saw someone falling from mid-air, subconsciously opened his hand and caught Rayne steadily in an princess-carry position.

Until Rin saw Emilia, who had put away her sword and stared at him with a green light in her eyes, approaching him, he was so scared that he took two steps back.

The weak mage was instantly pushed down onto the ground. Because of inertia, he also slid a little distance forward. With a gust of wind, the hem of Elise was slightly lifted.
He lay flat in confusion and looked above.
However, he only saw a pair of legs in white stockings, and a… dazzling holy light.
"Kyyya!!"
"Yikes!"
Elise was shocked and hurriedly covered the hem of her skirt and took a step back, so Rin could only see the sky.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Forced to endure the pain of being bitten, Rin still looked at Elise, who looked to be in soo much shame that looked like she was going to cry out at any time. He tried his best to apologize.

Trumpdates: Give It a Rest, Nikki Haley
By Dustin Rowles | Politics | November 12, 2019 |
10:25 — Nikki Haley really is out there both trying to promote her book and lobby to be Trump's VP choice. Here's what she said on the Today show this morning:
"In every instance I dealt with him, he was truthful" — Nikki Haley suggests Trump never lies pic.twitter.com/XtkYwjnkNm
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 12, 2019
Fun fact: Until 30 damn seconds ago, I had forever assumed that the blinking white man GIF was of Peter Krause. I have just realized that is not Krause, and my mind has been blown.
Also, wow, Nikki Haley. Wow. Ambition is a hell of a drug.
Nikki Haley on NBC just now insisting Trump is a "truthful" president and tougher on Russia than any previous president. She appears to be all in.
— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 12, 2019
There is a conspiracy theory going around that was floated last week by the Spectator and The Daily Mail — and I want to reiterate that it is a conspiracy theory — that Jared Kushner gave the greenlight to Saudi Arabia's Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud to arrest Jamal Khashoggi, The Washington Post journalist who was murdered by the Saudis in the Saudi embassy in Turkey. That conspiracy theory also suggests that Turkish intelligence intercepted that call, and that Turkey's President Erdogan used that information as leverage to pressure Trump to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, which ultimately led to the deaths of untold numbers of Kurds and a total realignment of the Middle East. There's even a suggestion that there's a U.S. whistleblower familiar with the details.
Again, this is a conspiracy theory, and as easy as it might be for us on the left to believe it, there is no publicly known facts to back up the theory. The source here is someone at the Spectator who goes by the name of Cockburn, who — best I can tell — is someone who traffics in political gossip.
In other words, it's all rumor, gossip and other innuendoes.
And yet, this morning, The New York Times is running a piece that seems to dance around that very conspiracy theory without directly mentioning it. The story is about "an unusual back channel" of sons-in-law, which includes Jared Kushner, Berat Albayrak — Erdogan's son-in-law and finance minister — and a Turkish business, Mehmet Ali Yalçındağ, who is the son-in-law of a Turkish billionaire tycoon, Aydın Doğan. But the piece also brings up Kushner's back-channel relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi, to be sure, is never mentioned in this piece, but the NYTimes talks at length about how deals are made between the United States, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia through Kushner's back channels, deals that often confound even Republicans (because they go against American policy). Erdogan, like Trump, feels that this "backdoor diplomacy" is necessary to avoid the "obstruction" of the American "deep state," i.e., our intelligence community.
Does this piece in any way confirm or support the conspiracy theory? No. Is it odd that it comes out one week after the Spectator piece? Maybe. Do we understand yet exactly why Trump decided to abruptly pull out of Syria, abandoning one of our strongest allies as that ally was helping us to track ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi? No, we do not.
For the record, The White House calls this conspiracy theory "nonsense." Then again, the White House is run by this guy:
Just like Schiff fabricated my phone call, he will fabricate the transcripts that he is making and releasing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2019
Uh, those transcripts came out last week, hoss.
I'm not trying to start sh*t here — I am not Louise Mensch — and I have ignored the conspiracy theory thus far. I am not saying I believe that theory, but I do think that the timing of the NYTimes is odd, to say the least. A conspiracy theory surfaces about back-channel diplomacy between Kushner, Erdogan, and MBS, and then the Times runs a piece, more generally, about how back-channel diplomacy is conducted between Kushner and Erdogan's son-in-law that also mentions MBS. It's almost like the Times wants to get in on that story without actually getting in on that story.

Based on the success and feedback from the attendees of 2018 Workshop on 5G Technologies for First Responder and Tactical Networks and the importance and timeliness of this subject, JHU/APL is teaming up with IEEE Future Networks Initiative to organize this event on October 7, 2019 at JHU/APL campus in Laurel, Maryland for the second time.
Today, several standards organizations and forums, namely IEEE, 3GPP, and ITU, are working on defining the architecture and standardizing various aspects of 5G technologies. However, little has been studied to explore how 5G technologies can be useful to tactical and first responder networks. It is important to investigate how tactical and first responder communities can take advantage of 5G technologies to support massive bandwidth, massive sensing, and massive control type applications.
The 2019 workshop is scheduled to take place on Monday, October 7 at JHU/APL campus's Kossiakoff Center in Laurel, Maryland. This year's workshop will include plenary keynote talks, invited talks, exhibits, demos, panels and multiple parallel tracks covering mmWave, MIMO, Security, eHealth, Edge Automation, Systems Optimization, Applications, Testbed, Satellite, and Hardware. This workshop will also provide opportunities for sponsorships and exhibits.

Election 2008: Sleep Deprivation A Tough Opponent For Presidential Candidates
The field of presidential contenders dwindled yesterday when former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) dropped out of the race. As "Super Tuesday" approaches, however, the Democratic and Republican frontrunners will continue to face a formidable challenge from sleep deprivation.
The demands of this competitive primary season will intensify this weekend as the candidates visit many of the 24 states that will hold a primary or caucus this Tuesday, Feb. 5. With these states spread across every region of the country, from California to New York, the candidates will be pushed to the limit as they criss-cross the nation campaigning.
Keeping a nonstop schedule of personal appearances, interviews and strategy sessions, both the candidates and their campaign staff will struggle to find adequate time for sleep. As a result, sleep deprivation is likely to make its mark on the campaign by causing performance impairments that could prove costly.
Sleep deprivation can have a severe impact on a candidate's mood and performance, increasing the likelihood of a memory lapse, a risky decision, a critical mistake, an improper comment or an angry outburst.
The most obvious effect of sleep deprivation is daytime sleepiness, which will become more intense if a candidate is forced to sit still for a presentation or ceremony. Visibly losing the battle to stay awake could tarnish a candidate's image and provide fodder for disparaging remarks by his or her opponents.
This risk was emphasized on Sunday, Jan. 21, when former President Clinton was seated prominently in front of the congregation at Harlem's Convent Avenue Baptist Church during a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A video clip showing Clinton nodding off during the service was broadcast on television news programs and circulated on the Internet.
Although caffeine, other types of stimulants, or brief naps may provide a short-term benefit, the only sure way for a candidate to overcome sleep deprivation is to increase nightly sleep time to satisfy his or her biological sleep need; there is no substitute for sufficient sleep.
About one in five adults fail to get enough sleep.
On average most adults need about seven to eight hours of sleep each night to feel alert and well rested.
A study published in the journal Sleep in 2003 shows that sleeping for six hours or less per night can hinder your cognitive performance in the same way as two nights of total sleep deprivation.
A study published in the journal Sleep in 2007 used a gambling task to show that risky decisions can be more attractive to a sleep-deprived brain.
An estimated 50 million to 70 million people in the U.S. suffer from a chronic sleep disorder.
In the U.S. there are more than 1,400 sleep disorders centers and labs that are accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Cambodia and Vietnam sign five-year defence pact
Taing Vida / Khmer Times No Comments Share:

Cambodia and Vietnam have signed a pact to continue defence cooperation over the next five years, including in ensuring security and safety in border areas.
A Defence Ministry statement yesterday said Defence Minister General Tea Banh signed the pact with his Vietnamese counterpart General Ngo Xuan Lich on Friday, during a visit to Vietnam from Thursday to Sunday.
During his stay in Hanoi, Gen Banh attended a trilateral meeting between defence ministers of Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, the 30th All-People Defence Festival and the 75th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People's Army.
The statement noted that during their Friday meeting, Gen Banh and Gen Ngo reviewed the results of the cooperation between the two defence ministries over the past five years and penned a roadmap for the future.
"At the end of their bilateral meeting, the two defence ministers signed a protocol on cooperation for 2020-2024 and a cooperative plan for 2020 between the two defence ministries," it said.
The Vietnam News Agency reported at the time, that both defence ministers highlighted the role of education as a significant factor in promoting good neighbourliness between the peoples and armies, of both countries to ensure security and safety in border areas.
It noted that the two armies have intensified their partnership in logistics, technology and defence industry, while the search and repatriation of the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts in Cambodia during the civil war bore good results.
VNA added that both sides also agreed to step up communications to raise the youths' awareness of the friendship and solidarity between the two peoples and armies, and work to prevent hostile forces from undermining the solidarity between the two nations, among others.
The ministry statement said that during his visit, Gen Banh also paid a courtesy call on Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and was awarded Vietnam's first-class Independence Order in recognition of his dedication to promote bilateral defence ties, which has helped strengthen the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
It said that Gen Banh presented the first-class Friendship Orders of the Kingdom of Cambodia to Gen Ngo and his Lao counterpart Gen Chansamone Chanyalath.
"These awards honoured their contributions to the time-tested friendship and all-round cooperation between the three neighbouring countries," the statement quoted Gen Banh as saying.
He noted that he highly valued the achievements of Vietnam People's Army over the past 75 years and complimented the resolute of Vietnamese armies under the governance of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Gen Banh also requested for help from Vietnam's military in training RCAF officers, repairing and maintaining infrastructure, and providing equipment and training material for Cambodia's sports sector, noting that Cambodia is preparing to host the 2023 SEA Games.

Q: Examine lucene.net custom query after analyzer tokenizes I'm using Examine in Umbraco to query Lucene index of content nodes. I have a field "completeNodeText" that is the concatenation of all the node properties (to keep things simple and not search across multiple fields).
I'm accepting user-submitted search terms. When the search term is multiple words (ie, "firstterm secondterm"), I want the resulting query to be an OR query: Bring me back results where fullNodeText is firstterm OR secondterm.
I want:
{+completeNodeText:"firstterm ? secondterm"}

but instead, I'm getting:
{+completeNodeText:"firstterm secondterm"}

If I search for "firstterm OR secondterm" instead of "firstterm secondterm", then the generated query is correctly: {+completeNodeText:"firstterm ? secondterm"}
I'm using the following API calls:
var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["ExternalSearcher"];
var searchCriteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria();
var query = searchCriteria.Field("completeNodeText", term).Compile();

Is there an easy way to force Examine to generate this "OR" query? Or do I have to manually construct the raw query by calling the StandardAnalyzer to tokenize the user input and concatenating together a query by iterating through the tokens? And bypassing the entire Examine fluent query API?

A: I don't think that question mark means what you think it means.
It looks like you are generating a PhraseQuery, but you want two disjoint TermQueries.  In Lucene query syntax, a phrase query is enclosed in quotes.
"firstterm secondterm"

A phrase query is looking for precisely that phrase, with the two terms appearing consecutively, and in order.  Placing an OR within a phrase query does not perform any sort of boolean logic, but rather treats it as the word "OR".  The question mark is a placeholder using in PhraseQuery.toString() to represent a removed stop word (See #Lucene-1396).  You are still performing a phrasequery, but now it is expecting a three word phrase firstterm, followed by a removed stop word, followed by secondterm
To simply search for two separate terms, get rid of the quotes.
 firstterm secondterm

Will search for any document with either of those terms (with higher score given to documents with both).


On Thursday the 11th February 2016 the pupils, staff and community volunteers gathered with eager anticipation at Bottesford Primary School to see the unveiling of their recently completed 1st World War Commemorative Banner. As they assembled the school orchestra accompanied children singing a peace poem. David Middleton, the Bottesford Parish WW1 Centenary Project Coordinator thanked all those involved (pupils, staff, community volunteers) and the Heritage Lottery Fund for their support. He then read from a letter written home by a former Bottesford School pupil Charles Pacey who was killed in the war. Charles described how easy it is forget all those 'pals' and 'comrades who have gone'.
The unveiled banner was truly impressive. The Headteacher, Mrs. McGrory, captured the spirit of the moment as she turned to the school – "Wow! Can we all go Wow! – that is superb!" Heather Broughton from the Heritage Lottery Fund congratulated the school and community volunteers for their success in commemorating the local heritage of service and sacrifice in the 1st World War. Sue Rowland, the textile artist and creative director explained how the children's paintings and embroidery commemorated the fallen and celebrated the home front war effort of Bottesford School. Finally, on behalf of the School, Rachel Moore, KS2 teacher, thanked everybody for all their hard work.
The creation of the banner dovetailed with the 1st World War Activities Day held at the School last September. Inspired by participation in that day KS2 pupils produced drawings depicting life within the community during the 1st World War and how the school contributed to the war effort. The children then worked with Sue Rowland, a Textile Artist, in transferring their work onto silk fabric in preparation for final assembly by Sue. Volunteer Stitchers from the Bottesford Parish WW1 Centenary Project and the Vale of Belvoir U3A Sewing Crafts Group also assisted the pupils with embroidering the names of all the casualties from Bottesford and Muston. Many of those involved commented that the time spent doing the art and craftwork brought them close to the people and events of 100 years ago. The banner will be on permanent display in the recently enlarged assembly hall at Bottesford Primary School. Events will be organised to enable the community to appreciate its contribution to the local heritage of the 1st World War. The generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund is gratefully acknowledged.
We have been reinforced just recently.
it's a pity how a man is soon forgotten though.
& now just an occasional thought reminds us.
Your banner is much more than an occasional thought. It's a permanent reminder of how the School helped in the war effort. Charles would have understood and appreciated the importance of the banner for remembering his school pals and village friends killed in the 1st World War.
So a big thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and inspiring art and craft work: to Ms. Moore (KS2 Teacher) for organizing all your work on the banner, to the volunteer community stitchers who worked at home and alongside you in school, and to Sue Rowland for her creative ideas and skills in bringing it all together. A brilliant job by everybody.
So give yourselves and the Heritage Lottery Fund a big round of applause!
