AAP running Punjab through 'Delhi Darbar', blames Opposition

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was on Friday at the centre of the Opposition's criticism on the issue of appointing two retired officers, reportedly close to the Party's national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, as the Chairman and member of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in Punjab.
The Congress Party and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) hit out at the AAP, accusing it of running the Punjab government through a 'proxy' from 'Delhi Darbar' or 'high command' and blaming Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for surrendering Punjab's interest.
The Punjab government on December 22 appointed former additional Chief Secretary of Delhi Satya Gopal as the Chairman of RERA and retired IRS officer Rakesh Goyal as a member of RERA.
Punjab's Leader of the Opposition, Partap Singh Bajwa said that both Mr. Gopal and Mr. Goyal were close confidants of the AAP supremo. "I have serious doubts that the senior leadership of the AAP sitting in Delhi has an eye on the profitable businesses of Punjab so that they could amass the party funds, which is perhaps required for the party expansion in other States…This instance indicates that the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is nothing more than a puppet, who dances to the tune of his bosses sitting in Delhi. Why didn't the Punjab CM intervene and appoint the Punjab-based bureaucrats for these positions? As many as 75 senior IAS and IPS officers had applied for the same and the interview went on for three days, which was merely an eyewash," said Mr. Bajwa.
At a press conference, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said it was also shocking that the Chief Minister had completely sublet governance to the AAP high command. "Earlier the AAP high command masterminded the ₹500 crore excise scam by handing over the entire liquor trade in Punjab to its favourites from Delhi. Now it is taking control of the real estate in Punjab and has appointed Arvind Kejriwal's blue-eyed boy— Satya Gopal as the Chairman of RERA, Punjab. This shows the extent to which Mr. Kejriwal has taken control of Punjab and its resources," he said.
Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira lashed out at Mr. Mann over the RERA appointments and asked him to formally hand over his authority to the Delhi leadership. Accusing Mr. Mann of compromising with the interests of Punjab and 'Punjabis', Mr. Khira said "..Just nine months into power, they (AAP) have already intensified the process to cleanse the Punjab government of all the 'Punjabis' from important positions while the Chief Minister Mann remains obligingly obedient to his Delhi masters without realising how much damage he is inflicting on the self-respecting Punjabi psyche, which can have dangerous repercussions."
Earlier, the Punjab government appointed Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha as the chairman of the advisory committee in Punjab, which created a political furor in the State. After his appointment, Mr. Chadha had been meeting officials of the Punjab government. In September, when he met the newly-appointed chairpersons of the Punjab government boards and corporations, the Congress hit out at the AAP, asking Mr. Mann to define and explain the role of Mr. Chadha in Punjab.

Kidney transplant patient donates $1 million to LHSC
LONDON, Ont. – London Health Sciences Foundation (LHSF) is proud to announce a $1 million gift from Keith and Leanne Lavergne (pictured) of Lasalle, Ontario in support of the Division of Urology at London Health Sciences Centre. Keith, a grateful patient of Dr. Alp Sener, wanted to give back to the care team and hospital that helped save his life and give him so much more than money could ever buy – time with his loved ones.
This transformational gift will establish the Keith and Leanne Lavergne and Family Chair in Urology, which will ultimately bolster the research and development needs of the division to help more patients like Keith get the care they need, when they need it for years to come.
"The Lavergne Chair will enable us to carry out cutting edge research, including moonshot projects in areas including fundamental sciences, clinical trials, quality improvement and in surgical education," said Dr. Alp Sener, Lavergne Chair and chief of urology. "Ultimately, these research projects have the potential to make a great impact on patient care in the future, but without funding, they are not possible."
The Lavergne Chair will also have the potential to support annual catalyst research grants as well as sustainable fellowship programs within the Division of Urology for specialty areas like transplant, oncology, men's health, functional urology, endourology and minimally invasive surgery, which will elevate the division both academically and clinically for the betterment of patient care in the future.
"I'm honoured to be the inaugural holder of this Chair and I am inspired by Keith and Leanne's generosity," said Dr. Sener. "My goal is to ensure that our division is prepared for the future and that it continues to set standards as a national leader in research, education and academics. I'm confident the Keith and Leanne Lavergne and Family Chair in Urology will help us achieve that."
The Division of Urology was established in 1954 and has played a strong role in the Department of Surgery since then. There are 14 faculty covering a variety of disciplines in adult and paediatric urology including but not limited to oncology, minimally invasive surgery and robotics, endourology reconstruction, andrology, functional urology as well as transplantation.
As part of the Keith and Leanne Lavergne and Family Chair in Urology, support will also be provided for faculty development and for Masters of Surgery fellowship research projects to continue strengthening the talented medical team right here in London.
"It is through Keith and Leanne's generosity that change is possible for the Division of Urology," said John MacFarlane, president and CEO at LHSF. "Today they have created hope for the future. I look forward to seeing the great things that come from the creation of the Lavergne Chair."
After overcoming a personal hardship and a trying health battle, Keith and Leanne felt compelled to give back to London Health Sciences Centre in honour of the care Keith received from Dr. Sener and his team. With a staggering number of people in Canada living with kidney disease, the Lavergne's hope their gift can help future patients get the exceptional care Keith did, for generations to come.
"We always came back to the word hope," said Leanne Lavergne. "Hope is a powerful motivator and it gives you the ability to fight on," said Keith Lavergne. "Over the next 10 years, you are going to see some remarkable strides being made from the research being done through the Lavergne Chair. We just hope our gift can help save more people that are living with kidney disease now and in the future."

Arsenal And Chelsea On Alert As Turkish Teenage Sensation Is Made Available For 3M
Content Editor Jan 12th 2021
Arsenal and Chelsea are both scouting Bursaspor striker Ali Akman, with the player set to be sold for just £3m this month, according to reports in the English media.
The teenager has less than six months remaining on his current contract but he is not willing to sign an extension. With that being the case, Bursaspor are keen to sell him in the January transfer window rather than allowing him to leave when his deal expires in June.
Akman is only 18 years of age but he has already made 42 senior appearances, including 16 this season which have seen him rack up an impressive nine league goals and provide three assists.
The Gunners and Chelsea are not the only clubs keeping tabs on the Turkey Under 21 international's situation, with teams in Italy, Germany and France also believed to be lining up bids of their own.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal have the resources to snap him up this month, or if they will risk waiting and signing him for less in the summer.


After just over three years in the Short North, children's boutique Cub Shrub, 749 N. High St., is closing its doors. A firm closing date hasn't been set, but the store will remain open at least through the end of the month.
It's not the end of the Cub Shrub brand, though. The Grandview location, which launched in April of 2017, will remain open.
The focus will turn to creating an even better Cub Shrub store experience and bringing the community together through classes, hangouts and more.
The original Cub Shrub location opened just doors down from the Quinn's original boutique, Tigertree.
"We so appreciate all the support that our Short North store has received over the past three years," Niki said.
The owners assured that Tigertree is staying firmly put in the Short North.

Spanish rescuers are struggling to find a two-year-old boy who fell down a borehole more than 100m (328ft) deep near the southern city of Málaga.
The operation has gone on day and night since the boy disappeared on Sunday afternoon during a family outing.
On Monday night, rescuers began using a suction machine to extract earth and mud from the hole, dug to get water. The shaft is just 25cm (10in) wide.
The family lost another son in an accident less than two years ago.
A camera probe has found a bag of sweets and a cup belonging to the missing boy, named only as Julen.
At 73m (240ft) the camera encountered an earth blockage in the shaft, dug into slate in a hilly plantation near the village of Totalán.
Rescuers have not picked up any hopeful sign from the boy.
The family live in El Palo, a nearby district, and in 2017 Julen's older brother, Oliver, died in an accident aged three.
More than 100 firefighters, police and other specialists are at the scene. They have inserted tubing to shore up the well.
The boy's father raised the alarm at 14:00 local time (13:00 GMT) on Sunday. Psychologists are now counselling the desperate parents. Anxious neighbours described Julen as a lively boy who loved his tricycle.
The rescuers have begun digging an oblique tunnel through the hillside, hoping to reach the boy that way. But currently efforts are mainly focused on removing earth from the borehole.
Another option is to dig a shaft parallel to the borehole, but there are fears that that could dislodge more earth from the shaft's sides.

Home ChildrenProcessing foodFood labelsInformation about the product
Lessons in this course
Information about the product
Why do food labels exist?
In the 19th century, new products were developed, such as tinned food and powdered products. Food labels became indispensable to help consumers identify what was inside these products.
Labels must include the name of the product, also known as the sales description, as well as the net weight and the use-by date.
Photo: A tin of sweetened condensed milk, marketed since 1866 by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, under the name Milkmaid.
What is the use-by date?
If a label mentions 'To be used before…' this refers to the expiry date of the food. After this date, it may pose a risk to health. 'Best before…' refers to the optimal use-by date. After this date, the quality of the food is no longer guaranteed. Thereafter, the taste, consistency and even nutritional value of the product may vary, but the product can often still be eaten.
What is the list of ingredients?
The label must also include the list of ingredients. This specifies all the ingredients in the product, listed from the highest quantity to the lowest. The list also specifies food additives and allergens.
What are food additives?
Food additives include colourings, preservatives and acidifying agents. These substances may be natural or synthetic. They are added to improve a product's appearance, how well it keeps, its flavour or consistency. Additives must be indicated by category and by their scientific name or their European symbol.
In Europe, additives are identified by the letter E followed by a 3-figure number. The E stands for Europe and the 3 figures correspond to a category of additives.
What are food colourings?
Food colourings belong to the E100 range. The figure 1 indicates the category (colourings) and the following two figures indicate the colour or shade. E120 is a red food colouring.
Food colourings are used to restore colours that may have altered during the manufacturing process, or to emphasise existing colours and/or to make food more appealing.
What are preservatives and antioxidants?
The E200 range corresponds to preservatives and the E300 range to antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralise the action of oxygen, so food keeps longer. The E400 range of emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickening agents and gelling agents improve a product's texture.
Do food labels mention allergens?
Allergens must be stated on food labels, for example mentioning that the product 'Contains soya'. Wording such as 'May contain traces of nuts' or 'May include soya' is used whenever a product manufacturing or storage site is also used for another product which may contain allergens, so there may be a risk of contamination with traces of allergens.
What other information can food labels provide?
A food label may also show the product's origin, quality assurances, instructions for use, the manufacturer's name and address and/or a reference identifying the manufacturing site and batch.

Off-road recreational vehicles provide a fun way to explore the countryside. One popular model is the side-by-side, also commonly referred to as a UTV (or utility task vehicle). In addition to recreational purposes, these vehicles can be useful for work outdoors.
If you own a side-by-side or want to buy one, you may be curious about how to properly insure a UTV and what kinds of risks you may be faced with.
In 2009, more than 220,000 new UTVs were sold in the U.S.
Am I Required to Carry UTV Insurance?
Whether or not you are required by law to carry insurance on your UTV depends on what state you live in, where you will be riding your vehicle and what you use your ATV for. States that do require coverage almost always have a minimum liability insurance requirement.
If you are using your UTV for work related reasons, you may be required to carry commercial vehicle insurance and your coverage minimums may be higher than if you are only using it for personal use. Also, if you have financed your vehicle, your lender may require you to carry collision and comprehensive coverage for the life of your loan.
Not all states require insurance for riding on privately owned land, but many require insurance if you will be riding in state parks or other state-owned land. To find out what laws and minimum coverage requirements are pertinent in your state, consult a local independent agent in the Trusted Choice network who will be familiar with your state laws.
Whether or not you are required to have coverage, purchasing a policy could be a wise decision. Because these vehicles were designed to carry passengers, a collision or roll-over in your vehicle can result in injuries to you and others who are riding along. Without an insurance policy in place to protect you, you could find yourself in financial hardship from high medical costs and litigation.
What Does UTV Insurance Cover?
You can choose from a variety of coverage options in your side-by-side UTV insurance policy. These options may vary by provider, so be sure to review the policy you are considering carefully.
Liability Coverage: Liability insurance protects you if you are at fault for an accident while operating your UTV. If the accident leads to injuries to your passengers or others, or causes property damage, your liability coverage will provide compensation for bodily injury expenses, lost wages and damage to property for those affected. In the event that a covered incident leads a lawsuit, your liability insurance can provide coverage for your legal fees and court costs.
Medical Cost Coverage: With this coverage, if you or any of your covered family members are injured while riding, regardless of fault, you may receive compensation for any corresponding out-of-pocket medical costs.
Collision Coverage: Collision insurance is similar to auto collision coverage, and will cover damages to your UTV if you should collide with another vehicle, object or if your vehicle is damaged in a rollover accident. This coverage is often required by lenders if you have financed the purchase of your UTV.
Comprehensive Coverage: The comprehensive portion of a policy is designed to provide compensation for losses or damage to your UTV from non-collision causes like fire, theft, vandalism, falling objects or "acts of God." This coverage will often also include your ATV equipment and customized upgrades. Like collision coverage, many lenders will require you carry this coverage for the life of your loan.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This particular coverage protects you if you are in an accident caused by someone who does not have sufficient coverage to pay your injury and damage costs. Residents in states where ATV insurance is not mandatory may want to consider purchasing this coverage.
Always use proper safety equipment including seatbelts and DOT approved helmets.
Never operate your UTV under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Keep arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
Avoid reckless or aggressive driving and abrupt maneuvers to prevent rollovers.
If the vehicle should roll, resist the urge to put your arm out to brace your fall. Instead, cross your arms over your chest and hold the seatbelt.
Know the weight limits of your vehicle and do not exceed them.
Never allow children under 16 to operate a side-by-side UTV.
Use common sense and know the limits of your vehicle and driving abilities.
In addition to following the safety tips listed above, you can learn several defensive maneuvers and tips for handling unexpected obstacles by taking an ATV safety course. Many courses are free or very low cost. These courses can save you from injury and can save you money on your insurance premiums.
There are many factors that go into an insurance premium, so collecting quotes from several companies can prove beneficial when trying to save money. An independent Trusted Choice agent can help you compare quotes from several different insurance companies and choose the right coverage for your needs.
How Can I Get the Best Deal on UTV Insurance?
Comparison shopping for your side-by-side can help you find a policy with all the coverage you need at a competitive price. Most insurance professionals agree that you should get quotes from a minimum of three insurance companies before making a decision.
Your local Trusted Choice agent can simplify the process for you. After assessing your coverage and budgetary needs, an independent agent can contact several different insurance companies, provide you with quotes to compare, and help you find the best possible UTV insurance policy for your needs and budget.

I went through Confluent documentation about 50002 error, which says

A schema should be compatible with the previously registered schema.

Does this mean I cannot make changes/update existing schema ?
How to fix this?

A: Actually, the link says 50002 -- Operation timed out. If it was indeed incompatible, the response would actually say so.
In any case, if you add a new field, you are required to define a default value.
This way, any consumers defined with a newer schema that are reading older messages know what value to set to that field.
A straight-forward list of allowed Avro changes I found is by Oracle

Hemp Fine – The World's Most Sustainable Chairs?
The Netherlands' VepDentea has used hemp to create a range of fully recyclable and carbon negative home and office chairs.
The "Hemp Fine" and "Hemp High" chairs are made with industrial hemp fibres bound with a plant-based, biodegradable and recyclable thermosetting resin developed by Plantics that contains among its components sugarbeet extract.
The residual fibre waste from hemp processing is used as raw material to make the seat shell of the chair. The fibres are processed into a thick mat that is combined with the resin and pressed into shape, and the resulting shell is finished with linseed oil. Other components used in the chairs include PEFC-certified* wood or recyclable steel.
"As a result of hemp's CO2 sequestering qualities, the VepaDrentea 'Hemp' chair production process absorbs more CO2 than is emitted, making the range of chairs carbon negative," says HempFlax; which supplied the hemp fibre matting.
Here's how the chairs are made:
Once the chairs have served their purpose, the shells can be shredded and the material used to make new chairs – it can be reused endlessly, without requiring new materials or chemicals.
VepDentea's project has been funded through the Top Sector Energy Subsidy from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. You can find out more about the hemp chairs here.
The creation of these chairs is another example of the many uses for industrial hemp.
"Combining hemp fibres with an organic glue made from only natural materials provides an effective replacement for pollutive synthetic materials and has the potential to revolutionise many industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint," said HempFlax CEO Mark Reinders.
HempFlax, which claims to be Europe's largest independent grower and processor of industrial hemp, has more than 2,400 hectares of hemp expected to be harvested this year. The company has six business lines – nutraceuticals (CBD), bioplastic, construction, animal care, horticulture, genetics and cultivation.
In May this year, HempFlax established a building supplies division after acquiring German company Thermo Natur GmbH & Co. KG, which produces hemp-based insulation.

Phew! What a whirlwind this first five months in my new role has been!
I have met so many lovely people and am relishing the challenges and opportunities of the job.
We have refreshed the staff team with new faces and recruited new people to our board. We have developed a brand new vision, mission and set of values as a foundation for the future.
We have also delivered a joyous 43rd edition of Hat Fair. My job combines responsibility for a famous Outdoor Arts Festival with a beautiful theatre. How amazing is that?
Indeed I have just returned from a busy week at the Edinburgh Fringe scouting for exciting shows to bring to Winchester in 2018.
Amidst all that I have been busy programming my very first season of performance for you to enjoy this autumn. With over 40 shows to choose from there really is something for everyone I hope. That is important to me. Performance should be enjoyed by everyone and that requires me to offer a diverse menu.
Within that menu you will start to discover some emerging themes this autumn. These will develop through 2018 and beyond.
Firstly I am keen to bring performance inspired by Hat Fair to Winchester at other times of the year. So, our season launches with The Natural Theatre Company. This internationally renowned company presents Austen Undone as part of our Open Weekend on the 16 and 17 September.
Do drop in during the weekend to have some fun and tell us what you think of us and what you want from us in the future.
On stage the following week we present Joli Vyann, a company many will remember from previous Hat Fairs. I am also delighted to be presenting Motionhouse's latest extraordinary creation this autumn. They are a company I have presented in different venues for almost twenty years now. We very much hope they will also bring work to Hat Fair in 2018.
I would also love us to become known as a place where laughter rings out. Laughter is therapeutic but also subversive. It is life affirming and mischievous. And it comes in many guises. So, yes, plenty of well known stand up comics, but so much more too. This season you can laugh at the satire of Noël Coward's Private Lives or the pastiche comedy of Sherlock Holmes and the Crimson Cobbles.
You can enjoy superb musical comedy with Showstoppers! or through the genius of Flanders and Swann. You can go on a nostalgia trip re-living the wonderful slapstick of Norman Wisdom with Jack Lane in Wisdom of a Fool.
Another desire of mine is to bring an international flavour to the programme. Penny Ashton who presents her light hearted romp Promise and Promiscuity comes all the way from New Zealand. I am also delighted to be presenting a Malawian inspired re-telling of The Tempest, not least because my mum was actually born in Malawi!
So, Hat Fair-inspired performance, laughter and internationalism. Three reasons to come and see shows at Theatre Royal Winchester this autumn and into the future.
I want to finish by acknowledging Christmas! Yes I know it is only August! Sorry! However, Peter Pan tickets are already selling fast. Last year people were unable to get tickets for our wonderful, traditional panto because they left it too late! So don't make the same mistake and book early to avoid disappointment.
We are also delighted to welcome back the Locrian Ensemble with Carols by Candlelight on the 13 December. And there is something for the little ones with Santa's Christmas Wish, exactly a week before the big day.
Finally the excellent Winchester Musicals and Opera Society are back with us to get us into the Christmas spirit with White Christmas.
So I look forward to meeting you as you enjoy laughter, spectacle, music and festive cheer at Theatre Royal Winchester this autumn.

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative member of the genus Staphylococcus, consisting of Gram-positive bacteria with spherical cells that appear in clusters.

History
It was first described in 1988 after being differentiated through DNA analysis. Its name comes from Lugdunum, the Latin name for Lyon, France, where the organism was first isolated.

Description
Colonies of S. lugdunensis are usually hemolytic, sticky, yellow or tan, and about 2–4 mm in diameter after a 48-hour incubation. They also can have a characteristic sweet, hay-like odor.  S. lugdunensis may produce a bound coagulase (that is, the enzyme is bound to the cells), a property it shares with S. aureus, but unlike S. aureus, it does not produce a free coagulase. In the laboratory, it can give a positive slide-coagulase test but a negative tube-coagulase test. It is fairly easy to identify because, unlike the great majority of staphylococci, it decarboxylates ornithine and is positive for pyrrolidonyl arylamidase.

In the past, it was frequently misidentified as S. hominis, S. aureus, or other species.  It occurs as a commensal on human skin, but has been recorded as a cause of serious human infections, such as osteomyelitis, arthritis, septicaemia, wound infections, and aggressive endocarditis.

S. lugdunensis is generally very susceptible to antistaphylococcal antibiotics, but increasing penicillin resistance has been reported.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis
Acute postoperative endophthalmitis caused by S. lugdunensis is infrequently reported in clinical studies. Five cases of acute postcataract surgery endophthalmitis were taken from a multicenter prospective study conducted in four university-affiliated hospitals in France (2004 to 2005). These cases were characterized by severe ocular inflammation occurring with a mean delay of 7.6 days after cataract surgery, severe visual loss (hand motions or less in three cases), and dense infiltration of the vitreous. Each of these patients was initially treated by using a standard protocol with intravitreal (vancomycin and ceftazidime), systemic, and topical antibiotics. Given the severity of the endophthalmitis, though bacteria were sensitive to intravitreal antibiotics, pars plana vitrectomy was needed in four cases. The final visual prognosis was complicated by severe retinal detachment in three cases. The microbiological diagnosis was reached by using conventional cultures with specific biochemical tests and eubacterial PCR amplification followed by direct sequencing.

Clinical features
Staphylococcus lugdunensis has been associated with a wide variety of infections, including cardiovascular infections (severe native and prosthetic valve endocarditis, myocarditis, and infected myxoma), empyema, osteomyelitis and prosthetic/native joints infections, skin and soft-tissue infections (furuncles, cellulitis, and abscesses), central nervous infections, peritonitis, endocephalitis, and urinary tract infections.

01:05 pm - Guess who's got their TAO'05 ticket?
Got out at noon today to run over to Solid Grooves & get a TAO ticket. Followed Yahoo's directions to get there - using freeways - and realized that I do sorta miss driving freeways, and having a bit of time on the way to work. Perhaps I need to find a longer way to work? *giggle* But I won't complain about a fast trip home!
It wasn't that hard to find, except that it's right at a triangle intersection that made me go past & come back before I saw it the first time. Then I had to find parking. LOL. I only had to circle the block once, but there really isn't much parking around it.
$42 for my ticket: $40 face + (I assume) $2 service charge. The tickets are actually Ticketmaster tickets, and they had 4 left. I wonder how many they started with? But I guess if people can't find $40 tickets, let me know and I can go by again to see if they still have any.
Took surface streets back, because I recognized the area. Actually swung by Subway and had some lunch too. Back to work now, though.
While I was eating, it crossed my mind that maybe on some (or all) of those no-lunch days I'm just having too much at breakfast. 'cause this morning was much lighter than the average breakfast I pick up at McD's.
Oooh! I love Boards of Canada! Glad you're listening to em. Hope you guys have fun on NY! I'll be in Dallas with Kim (assuming we make it there ok).
Actually it was the first time I had listened to that mix (Ultra.Chilled 02). Had never heard it before, but I try to make a habit of noting what's on my iPod if/when I post from work.


We might just be getting closer to our dreams of sending man to Mars as NASA just received instruction from Congress to start working on a deep space habitat in preparation for a Mars mission in 2018.
One of the biggest hurdles that has slowed down NASA in making further developments in space exploration over the years is having sufficient funds to build the best possible vessel and equipment for the astronauts in their journey to Mars.
Case in point: the Orion exploration spacecraft, which, according to the official NASA website, "is designed to carry astronauts to deep space destinations, including an asteroid and Mars." At the moment, this vessel has limited space for astronauts to move around – a serious issue considering that a journey takes at least six months.
NASA's vision of ideal living conditions of a deep space habitat would include more space for privacy, exercise, and social interactions with fellow astronauts. But while the design of the module has yet to be conceptualized, NASA experts are already visualizing the habitation module to be linked to the Orion capsule in space.
The omnibus spending bill, which was passed by Congress earlier this month, not only increases NASA's funding by $1.3 billion, but also directs the space agency to build a deep space habitat "within the advanced exploration systems program no later than 2018," as reported by SpaceNews.
A report attached to this bill also indicates a minimum of $55 million coming from the Advanced Exploration Research Systems program, to be allocated to the augmentation of the deep space habitat. This program is part of the Exploration Research and Development section of the budget, which was granted $350 million by the omnibus spending bill.
Naturally, as part of accountability and checks and balance, NASA will have to provide regular reports to Congress on the progress of the deep space habitat within 180 days of the bill taking effect.
The director of the International Space Station at the NASA headquarters, Sam Scimemi, spoke with SpaceNews and revealed that he has yet to determine the specific details of how the funding will be spent as well as the requirements and features of the deep space habitat.
NASA has been advocating the development of a deep space habitat within the spacecraft that they plan to test in cislunar space around the 2020s. Once the module is good to go, it will be used to transport astronauts to Mars sometime in the 2030s.
Scimemi added that it might be too early to provide details about the development of the deep space habitat, and he would rather keep mum than spark speculation.
"It's much too early for that. As soon as I put a picture up there, somebody is going to assume what the configuration is," he said.
Apart from the deep space habitat, NASA is also trying to develop the crew capsule that will guide deep-space explorers to their destinations. The development of this vessel will actually take much longer to complete than the habitation module.
The space agency has collaborated with several private research firms through its Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships or NextSTEP for the development of the habitation module. So far, Bigelow Aerospace's inflatable deep space habitat is a promising concept, but other active private partners include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Orbital ATK.
Scimemi says that each partnership contract is valued at up to $1 million for a year's worth of research, but will greatly benefit the development of the deep space habitat. "We plan to leverage the output of those studies to shape our plan and then go to a next round," he said.

During the month of August 2016, I will convene a Campus Carry Task Force to gather input from students, staff, and faculty on the reasonable rules, regulations or other provisions that would work for COM. Although COM is slightly less than a year away from implementing the requirements of SB 11, a preliminary timeline has been developed to delineate the implementation process.
As we work toward compliance with Senate Bill 11 and the best plan for COM, you will have the opportunity to provide input to the COM Campus Carry Task Force once it begins its work this fall. While community colleges must follow the state law, it is important to collaborate on this topic to ensure that COM remains a safe place to work and learn. Your safety is our highest priority. Notifications will be provided to students, staff, and faculty and signs will be posted to help ensure that everyone is sufficiently informed of the rules.

Twitch streamer scares off robber after attempted break-in during livestream
Twitch/empirrre
Australian Twitch streamer Empirrre found himself in a terrifying situation during a live broadcast on February 16 when a robber tried to break into his home.
Twitch has been home to some pretty crazy incidents caught on stream, such as earthquakes, gunshots being fired, and even swatting. So, while robberies aren't too out of the norm, they can certainly be scary.
Right before he was going to begin playing Super Seducer, one of Empirrre's live-in mods, morak_iso, alerted him to get outside right away, prompting the streamer to take action.
After leaving for a moment to speak with the mod, Empirrre returned and whispered quietly, telling his viewers that someone was trying to break in.
Just as fast as he left the first time, the Twitch streamer dashed away, not to be seen until a few minutes later to explain what happened.

"We're good. Just some dumb b*tch trying to open our front door," he revealed. "She came back down the f**king street. We had knives and stuff because we live in a really bad area. Really, really, really bad area."
According to Empirrre, his neighborhood has to contend with all sorts of drugs and break-ins living where he does, so people will often check front doors late at night by checking if they're unlocked.
"They opened the front screen which made a noise and morak heard it," he said, referring back to the comment made by the mod. "Had a knife ready for me. He was like, 'someone's trying to get into the house.'"

He further added that these type of incidents happen more often than people would think, but luckily they managed to catch the would-be robber after checking all the doors with knives in-hand.
After going out the front door, he noticed that spiderwebs had been broken, indicating someone had tried to open it. Down the road, the streamer and his mod saw a woman with her hoodie on walking quickly down the street.
"That f**king b*tch. She was trying to open house doors, dude," he said. "You know what's the funniest thing though? They opened the door, right. This is Australia for you, this is the one thing I don't agree with. She comes into our house, right, we defend ourselves, we go to jail."

Following this, the streamer went into a large rant about Australian laws regarding self-defense. In any case, on the bright side, no physical action had to be taken, but clearly, things could have gotten out of hand.
