5 Tips for Visiting the Checkpoint Charlie
Actors playing American soldiers at Checkpoint Charlie.
If you visit the guardhouse at Checkpoint Charlie during peak tourist hours you're likely to meet 'American soldiers' - actors playing the part of US border guards. They're happy to take pictures with visitors (for a small fee) and will even give you a passport stamp to confirm that you crossed the border.

The site is presented with very little historical context, so you might want to take a guided tour of the area to learn more about what you're seeing. Most guided tours will also take you to sections of the Berlin Wall which are still standing, so you can get a sense of what it was like to live in its shadow.
Don't get a replica passport stamp in your real passport! While most people don't have problems, there's some debate about whether having un-official stamps can void your passport or cause problems when entering and exiting certain countries. To avoid problems, bring a piece of paper or a notebook, or have a postcard stamped and send it to someone back home as a souvenir.
If you want to visit when the site isn't so busy, try early in the morning or in the evening. The street is well-lit after dark, so you should still be able to get some nice photos.
The guardhouse currently on display is a replica of one from the 1960s, but there have been several different structures of varying sizes there throughout the years. The last standing guardhouse, which was removed in October 1990 during German reunification, is on display at the Allied Museum.
Why is it called Checkpoint Charlie?
The official name of Checkpoint Charlie was Checkpoint C, but in the NATO phonetic alphabet, the letter 'C' is designated the word 'Charlie'. When the checkpoint was referred to in radio transmissions, operators would use the phrase Checkpoint Charlie, and the name stuck. There were also Checkpoints A and B (Alpha and Bravo), but as Checkpoint Charlie became the only place where Allied forces and other foreigners could cross between East and West Berlin, it became the more famous checkpoint internationally, featuring prominently in films, books and TV series about the divided city.

What should I know before visiting?
If you're only intending to visit the checkpoint and not the nearby museum, you won't see many educational materials about the border crossing. It's useful to know that the reconstructed guard point shows you the view from the American sector, later West Berlin. On the Soviet side, the defenses were far larger and more complicated, with a watchtower, zig-zag barriers, walls, and a shed for checking cars which passed through the checkpoint. The checkpoint in West Berlin was never considered a permanent structure by the Allies and West Germany, and the small and relatively accessible structure was meant to express that. Another thing to be aware of is that the checkpoint was the site of several escape attempts from East Berlin, some successful, many not. The most disturbing was the attempt of Peter Fechter in 1962, an 18-year-old who was shot by East German guards and was unable to make it past a barbed wire fence, where he died in full view of the guards on both sides, none of whom intervened. His death caused demonstrations in West Berlin and led to further restrictions being placed on Soviet troops as they moved through the city. He is officially listed as the 27th person to die attempting to cross the Berlin Wall. The checkpoint was also the site of many other important events from the Cold War - in October 1961 there was a stand-off involving tanks after Soviet soldiers insisted on examining the papers belonging to an American diplomat and his party, which was only resolved after a day of high tension and negotiation. The checkpoint was also the site of several prisoner exchanges between Soviets and the Western powers, which provided inspiration for several spy novels throughout the last 50 years. Read more.
What's there to see at Checkpoint Charlie?
The checkpoint stands on a traffic island in the middle of a busy street, so watch out for vehicles passing! At the checkpoint itself, there's a replica of the guardhouse which stood on the border of the American Sector, with sandbags and US flags. It's sometimes manned by actors who play the part of border guards. On the sidewalk, there are also large replica signs which warn you that you're leaving the American Zone. There are several good photo opportunities here, but not very much historical information. Further up the street, there's the Checkpoint Charlie Museum (Das Mauermuseum - Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie), which is worth a visit if you want some more historical context for the site. Read more.
What's there to see and do nearby?
Aside from the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, you can easily reach several other museums and attractions, most on the subject of life in East Berlin and during the Cold War. If you continue walking on Friedrichstraße you can visit Die Mauer, a panorama built inside a rotunda so you can feel as though you're standing in the Berlin of the past, or the BlackBox Kalter Krieg, which looks like a temporary exhibition but is there all year round and presents Cold War-related stories, documents, and objects from Berlin and the rest of Germany. You're also only a short walk away from some intact remains of the Berlin Wall on Wilhelmstraße, and the Topography of Terror, which includes exhibits about the Third Reich (specifically the Gestapo, SS, and other internal security forces from 1933 to 1945). Read more.
Checkpoint Charlie is located on a traffic island in the middle of a busy street. It's there 24/7 for you to visit and take photos, free of charge. At peak periods actors dressed as soldiers might be at the site, you'll need to pay in order to take a photograph with them.
Friedrichstraße 43-45
Checkpoint Charlie can be easily reached via U-Bahn to Kochstraße (U6) or by bus to the stop Kochstraße/Checkpoint Charlie (bus number M29).

Global coronavirus death toll surges past two million while more than 93 million people have been infected worldwide - but experts say the real toll is much higher
Muslim Brotherhood holds first talks with Egyptian government as protesters defiantly wait for Mubarak to step down
By Daily Mail Reporter
Updated: 10:30 EST, 7 February 2011
Muslim Brotherhood holds first talks with Egyptian government for years
Banks and shops reopen their doors after nearly two weeks of protests
Confusion over future of government after key figures step down
Newly-appointed vice-president survives assassination attempt
U.S. suggests President Mubarak should stay in office to oversee transition of power as Hillary Clinton backs talks
The Muslim Brotherhood held talks with Vice President Omar Suleiman to press 'legitimate and just demands' as the government attempted to end 12 days of protests.
Senior Brotherhood leader Mohammed Mursi said the group was sticking to the protesters' main condition that President Mubarak stand down.
They are the first known discussions between the government and the Brotherhood in years, suggesting the group could be allowed an open political role in the post-Mubarak era.
Some opposition leaders met with Mr Suleiman over the weekend, but said they had been no breakthrough.

Staying put: Hundreds of Egyptians pray in Tahrir Square after nearly two weeks of protests. Anti-government supporters insist that President Mubarak steps down
Back to normal: People begin clearing streets in Cairo of rubble as banks and shops reopened for the first time
Participants in today's talks also included members of secular opposition parties, a representative of opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei and independents such as business tycoon Naguib Sawiris.
Mr Mubarak, 82, is refusing to step down, leaving his administration in a standoff with thousands of protesters who have set up camp in central Cairo.
PETER HITCHENS: Egypt, People Power...and the truth we dare... Caught on camera: The moment unarmed Egyptian protester was... Muslim Brotherhood holds first talks with Egyptian... PETER MCKAY: U.S. faces its own Suez crisis as Hosni Mubarak...
He has said he will step down in September and will introduce constitutional reform in the mean time.
President Mubarak's government was today aiming to get people back to work, with banks and businesses reopening after nearly two weeks of protest against his 30-year-rule.
Army commander Hassan al-Roweny said: 'We want people to go back to work and to get paid, and life to get back to normal.'
People power: Egyptian anti-Mubarak protesters face military tanks in Cairo yesterday as the government came under mounting pressure to stand down
Chain reaction: Anti-government protesters form a human chain to prevent Egyptian Army tanks from clearing barricades, next to the Egyptian Museum at an entrance to Tahrir Square
Defiant: Demonstrators stand in front of army tanks alongside the Egyptian Museum on the front line near Tahrir Square
The U.S., Egypt's ally and aid donor, has stressed the need for gradual change and talks between the government and opposition groups.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday backed the talks and said the government's dialogue with opposition groups must be given time.
Today she said: 'We are going to wait and see how this develops.'
A spokesman for the Brotherhood said: 'We have decided to engage in a round of dialogue to ascertain the seriousness of officials towards the demands of the people and their willingness to respond to them.'
Praying for change: Opposition demonstrators pray in front of barricades alongside the Egyptian Museum on the front line near Tahrir Square
Opposition activist Mohamed ElBaradei said any compromise that would allow Mr Mubarak to lead the process of change would not be acceptable.
He said: 'To hear... that Mubarak should stay and lead the process of change, an that the process of change should essentially be led by his closest military advisor... would be very, very disappointing.'
Many shops have been closed during the 12 days of protests, making it hard for Egyptians to buy even basic goods.
Prices have been pushed up and economic growth, which was running at six per cent, was expected to suffer.
One million tourists have also been driven away from the country because of the violence and the Egyptian pound slumped to a six-year low.
Mr ElBaradei said there was still a 'hard core' who would not give up protesting as long as Mr Mubarak held on to power.
Talks: Opposition group the Muslim Brotherhood will hold discussions with the Egyptian government today for the first time in years
Daily life: Banks and shops reopened their doors today after nearly two weeks of protests across Egypt
'It might not be very day but what I hear is that they might stage demonstrations every other day,' he said.
'The difference is that it would become more angry and more vicious. And I do not want to see it turning from a beautiful, peaceful revolution into a bloody revolution.'
The UN estimates 300 people have died in the unrest and the health minister has said around 5,000 people have been injured since the protests began on January 25.
Two people were killed and 17 others injured after police fired on a crowd of around 1,000 attacking a police station in the northwestern town of Kef, Tunisia.
The crowd are believed to have turned on police after the chief officer slapped a woman during a demonstration.
The clash is one of the most serious since Tunisia began the process of moving out of a 23-year dictatorship when President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled the country last month.
A statement from the Interior Ministry said the people threw stones and firebombs at the police station, before torching two police vehicles.
Officers fired tear gas and shots into the air to try and disperse the crowd, before opening fire on the protesters.

Not Bad for a Band on the Verge of Breaking Up
Tim Brough | Springfield, PA United States | 04/27/2004
"The four dour personages of the cover of the "Gray Album" could only hint at what was going on behind the scenes during the making of this album. The band was fighting, breaking up, regrouping, and yet managed to make their best selling album out of the chaos. It's equally fascinating that some of songs here are E&TB's most coherent. They are also the most timely sounding, probably more to producer Laurie Latham trying to make the band sound more 80's timely and the band being too contentious to care.Ian McCulloch was also veering into a new phase of singing. He's in deep croon here, as "Bomber's Bay" and "All My Life" deftly indicates. He was stretching towards arty pop (Ray Manzerek guesting on "Bedbugs and Ballyhoo" is a dead giveaway) and the rest of the band was resisting. The tension gave birth to terrific songs like "Lips Like Sugar" and "The Game," but also guaranteed the band would jettison him after this record was done. Too bad, because the rift that led the Bunnymen to go on without the Mac left us with the bitter "Reverberation" and Mac's "Candleland" needed them more than he cared to admit. But for now we can revel in this remastered and punchier sounding disc of the Bunnymen's swansong. (I don't count the reunion albums.) The bonus tracks are pretty cool, in particular, the live version of "Soul Kitchen.""
For those with ears...
jokamachi | california | 12/07/2005
"...it's truly remarkable what a little remastering will do for a recording once sidelined, because Bunnymen fans will happily discover this album now sounds the way it was meant to sound. It's punchier, more vibrant, and every instrument is brought forward in the mix and given the sort of attention it deserves. All of which now screams out for a much needed reassessment.
Old school bunnymen fans saw this record as the flaccid decline of a once great band, but this 'remaster' has pulled the carpet out from under that claim. Their new stuff may lack the edge of their former glory, but at least this one won't get consigned to the dust bin so quickly. Revisit an 80's classic."
Echo and The Bunnies Deliver
osapientia | Carson, CA | 12/22/2005
"Pound for pound, this is the most pop-y and hit laden Echo album in existence. Moreover, I think that it's very good. It's a little less edgy than the first albums, but that's typical for an maturing band. The playing is very tight and the production is slick. Still, it's an Echo and album, and there really isn't a bad one to speak of."
Tim Brough | 02/10/2004
"I realize that this isn't the band's favorite album, but artist's (and critics) can frequently be wrong. Behind Heaven Up Here (my favorite)and Porcupine (my second favorite), their self titled album more than holds its own in #3 position for me. The remastered sound is terrific although the production is a tad flat on at least a couple of tracks. The songs are well written and if the production might be a little too slick it works with the material the band put together here.
With 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks and two that appeared on the boxed set, this is, to date, the ultimate edition for this vastly underrated album. As the band began to fall apart, they produced some of their most memorable songs including the incredible "Lips Like Sugar", "All My Life" and "The Game". Really this album is essential for anyone who is a fan of the band.
Unfortunately, the remastered albums don't feature all the tracks on the boxed set, so most fans should probably make a copy of those tracks and then sell the boxed set. Missing from this CD are the following tracks: "Lips Like Sugar" (single version), "People are Strange", "Rollercoaster".
The booklet is quite nice as well."
New Direction? To say the least!
osapientia | 12/03/2003
"Well, somehow they managed to make this album even better the second time around! Great sound quality and fantastic bonus tracks. Only one complaint: no lyrics this time. I guess that's a small price considering the great songs on this CD. "Lips Like Sugar", "Over You", "New Direction" have all stood the test of time and sound just as good in 2003 as they did in 1987! 'Nuff said. Buy this one and enjoy!!"

I use an old simple version of Autohotkey and wish someone can provide code to make this come to a stop. Currently, it runs on, adding other stuff after, like typing "admin" from a later hotkey (shown below). Just want #j to stop at end of line.
- yet it will not come to a stop.
How I use it: I put cursor in browser box, hit hotkey #j [meaning Winkey j] yet it fails. It will not stop right after .com. Instead it continues to play another hotkey after it.
#i::Send, z ;HOLD for later use.
#i::Send, z ;HOLD for later use. ; One line hotkey -- doesn't need a "Return"
Just put in a Return. And it works!
Amazing how simple, yet escaped me completely.
Do you have a sw that will let me lock files within a folder?
I have a folder called Fin for finance docs. I want to keep pals doing stuff on my computer from accessing my personal financial records that I have scanned into this folder for quick access instead of rifling through stacks of paper. I know this folder opened because it now shows a date with year 2014 and I never looked in this year. I want that folder locked somehow, not sure how, maybe pass, maybe hidden, whatever works. Of course I have to get in when I want without knowing a lot of code. Just looking for easy and simple solution if one here. I will certainly make a donation for it. Already looked online and found some, yet seem overly complex for me.
Terrific idea and could do that, except I would have to log out or turn computer off, and right now no password needed to use computer. So I'd have to set passwords for each guy, and they would have to remember it. While a good idea, this method already has issues built in - they will not recall their pass. I don't mind if they access anything else on computer and play games I paid for (messing up my scores), however I do mind them rummaging through my financial records. So I need something that will make that folder invisible or hidden, like some windows files, or have it request a simple one step password from me.
So I'd have to set passwords for each guy, and they would have to remember it.
If I were generous enough to let friends use my computer (which I'm not), I'd be telling them, "Tough sh!t. You either remember a simple password or you don't get to use my computer."
The method from Tomos is the way to though. You can make new accounts for your friends and then specify per folder or even file which users can access it.
Right-click on a file or folder and select tab security in the window that appears on screen. The content shown in this tab should not require extra explanation. If it does, you are likely going to mess things up.
Still hell bent on using one (non-admin) account for everyone? Then deny access completely for this user. This is dangerous and should not be applied to the main administrator account! Although booting from CD/USB with an O.S. that allows you to read the file-system of your hard disk will fix that quickly, it is a hassle. It also means that you need to access these files with a different account. So, going over left or going over right...the use of multiple Windows accounts will be the way to go.
Select the file(s), folder(s) or even partition(s) and adjust the settings from tab security to 'Deny Read' and 'Deny Read & execute' for the user group Restricted access.
Then add the general account to user group Restrictive access.
Accessing your file(s)/folder(s)/partition(s) will not be possible. You can be even more bold and use setting 'Deny Full control'. Make a mistake with this and you will be reinstalling Windows, but when you do this right, you will have blocked access in a very absolute manner.
Now I already put several warnings in this post. When applying this Windows does the same, so it cannot be stretched enough, be very sure of what you are doing when using 'Deny'. In a default Windows installation Windows acts (reasonably) friendly, but when applying 'Deny' it will become an enemy before you know it. Choose your fiends wisely, your enemies even more so!


Thousands of area residents will enjoy a brighter holiday this year due to the generosity of Texas Panhandle contributors.
AGN Media's Empty Stocking Fund drive, the newspaper's 41st annual, began in late November. So far, donors have given a total of $93,815.12.
Last year's Empty Stocking Fund campaign raised $109,600. A final total for the 2013 drive will be released after Jan. 1.
The Empty Stocking Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, was created in 1972. Since then, about $3 million has been contributed to the fund.
After more than 40 years in existence, giving to the fund has become a seasonal tradition for some, said Susie Self, AGN Media special projects coordinator.
"One highlight or me has been noticing the many people who have donated every year for years," Self said.
One woman called the newspaper seven years ago asking how to make a donation in memory of her son who recently had died, Self said.
"Every year since then, she has emailed or called when making her donation and we've made kind of a connection," she said.
The students and staff at Lee Elementary School are another example of longtime benefactors. The students have collect money for the Empty Stocking Fund for more than a decade.
This year, the Amarillo Independent School District campus at 119 N.E. 15th Ave., collected a total of $1,009.
"There are a lot of stories like that," Self said. "It feels good to know that they trust us to be good stewards of their money."
Money collected through the Empty Stocking Fund is distributed in the form of vouchers for Walmart and United Supermarkets to individuals who apply and qualify for financial assistance.
AGN Media publishes stories about 30 recipients, but about 2,400 other applicants also will benefit from the fund this year.
Recipients so far this season include 645 individuals who sought assistance through various area agencies, 1,257 elderly in nursing homes and 578 other families, Self said.
Donations still can be mailed to Empty Stocking Fund, P.O. Box 2091, Amarillo, TX 79166. Please make checks payable to the Empty Stocking Fund. Donations can be made in memory of or in honor of individuals, and AGN Media will mail letters of acknowledgement on request. Donations are tax-deductible.


Kangra, possibly by an artist from Mandi.
Opaque waterbased pigments with gold embellishment on wasli.
Foliate design inner black borders between white ruled lines.
Against the green grass of the rising background hillsides - Shiva sits regally holding a skull bowl (kapala) a ribcage (kankala) and an ax - with one hand palm open - accepting the adulation of his many disciples. A serpent coils around his bare chest - his hair wound in an elaborate turban form. Next to him sits his wife Parvati - demure and passive for now. Thronging around them gods - demigods - kings - rishis - saddhus and disciples pay homage to the great couple as their vehicle Nandi the Bull awaits patiently below. Male and female deer leaping in the distance.
The narrative of Shiva - the Shiva Purana - tells the story of the God Shiva in all of his infinite manifestations - and the origins of the universe - as narrated by its compiler the legendary sage Veda Vyasa. The Shiva Purana is an ancient sacred text containing the rituals and legends of the god Shiva. The present painting depicts a tranquil moment for the God - and his beloved - revered by acolytes.
"O revered Sages ... union with the Shiva should be the objective of a man ... listening to the qualities of Lord Shiva ... singing devotional songs in his praise and contemplating on him are the greatest means which help to unite with Shiva."
Stylistically the present painting could be termed "Kangra" kalam - the style of Kangra - although its specific origin may in fact have been painted by an artist originally from another atelier in the pan-Pahari region - perhaps Mandi as evidenced by the stylized swirling puffy clouds distinctively outlined in pencil-thin gold edging. Another unusual and quite distinctive stylistic marker are the groupings of dozens of small roundish white "rocks" placed among the hillsides and into the far distance - in the foreground seemingly floating straight up the paintings frontal plane - defying rational understanding much like the Purana's hero - Shiva himself.
Raja Sansar Chand of Kangra (c. 1765 – 1823) was an ardent devotee of Shiva and several folios of Shiva Puranas commissioned during his time have survived and are now in important museums. Two folios from this particular series are in the Lucknow Museum (see thumbnails).

Karl-Artur Petraschk (* 6. September 1901 in Dresden als Johannes Karl Arthur Petraschk; † 7. Mai 1976 in West-Berlin) war ein deutscher Fotograf, Schauspieler, Bühnenbildner und Grafiker.

Leben und Wirken
Petraschk war ein Sohn des Schneidermeisters Johann Friedrich Adolf Petraschk; seine ältere Schwester war die Heimatforscherin Margarete Petraschk. Als Kind gerne malend und zeichnend und seit dem 11. Lebensjahr fotografierend, hatte Petraschk den Berufswunsch, Maler und Grafiker zu werden. Auf Verlangen seines Vaters absolvierte er jedoch zunächst eine Lehre als Chromolithograph in der Kunstanstalt C.C. Meinhold & Sohn in Dresden. Während der Lehre besuchte er zwei Jahre lang abends die Kunstgewerbeschule und konzentrierte sich in der Ausbildung auf die Anwendung der Fotografie in der Grafik.

Da Petraschk im literarischen Zirkel der Kunstgewerbeschule an Theateraufführungen in Lazaretten teilnahm, wurde er als Nachwuchsschauspieler entdeckt, debütierte am 9. November 1918 im Albert-Theater (Dresden) als Ersatz für einen fehlenden Schauspieler und erhielt sofort einen Vertrag. Zum Ensemble gehörte zu dieser Zeit u. a. Heinrich George, es gastierten z. B. Albert Bassermann, Alexander Moissi, Paul Wegener, Hermine Körner und Lucie Höflich am Albert-Theater.

Von nun an erfolgte sein Ausbildungs- und Berufsweg zweigleisig. Neben Schauspielengagements in Dresden, Königsberg, Halle und Saarbrücken war Petraschk nach einer Zusatzausbildung bei Leonhard Fanto in Kostümkunde auch als Bühnenbildner tätig. In den spielfreien Sommermonaten 1920 und 1921 ließ sich Petraschk außerdem bei Ivo Puhonny in Baden-Baden zum Puppenschnitzer ausbilden und ging später mit einem eigenen Handpuppentheater auf Tournee, das ihm 1927 auf der Deutschen Theaterausstellung mit allen Puppen und Kulissen gestohlen wurde. 1926/27 studierte er an der Schule Reimann in Berlin, 1929 ein Jahr in Paris, um 1930 nach Berlin zurückzukehren.

Ab dieser Zeit arbeitete er vor allem als Fotograf und Grafiker für verschiedene Zeitschriften und für Kulturfilme. Mit einem englischen Journalisten reiste er durch Europa und Nordafrika, um gemeinsam in der Zeitschrift Punch Reiseberichte zu veröffentlichen (er unter dem Pseudonym PET). Von 1939 bis 1941 war als Schnittmeister für die UFA-Wochenschau tätig. 1941 eingezogen, wurde er bei Einsätzen in Polen und Russland mehrfach verwundet. Anschließend kam er als Kriegsberichterstatter (Bild) nach Russland, Frankreich, Nordafrika, in den Balkan und nach Italien. Als englischer Kriegsgefangener verbrachte er seit 1945 drei Jahre in einem Wüstenlager in Ägypten, wo er viel malte. Nach der Rückkehr nach Berlin arbeitete Petraschk hier wieder als Fotograf und Grafiker, u. a. an der Freien Universität Berlin.

Petraschk war zweimal verheiratet.

Sein Fotonachlass aus der Zeit als Kriegsberichterstatter befindet sich im Bildarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz Berlin.

Well, my sons like reading the biography of Levi Strauss in our Bahasa Indonesia biography comics. They admire him a lot for his perseverance and hard work. To commemorate him, we plan to have some activities devoted to him on his birthday.
I try to mind map some activities about Levi Strauss integrated to some subjects. Click the picture below for a link to the document.
This activity is suggested to be done to close the unit. It is a conclusion of the topic about Levi Strauss we have learned. You can put it either on this paper or in any other paper to display.
This is a part of taking note activity as a reading or listening comprehension about the life of Levi Strauss. Sequencing fact cards of Levi Strauss' life can be an alternative.
This activity can be very interesting for those who loves drawing. It is suggested to make a list of the important points of his life before they make comic strips. The file provides some alternative numbers of boxes. Please choose based on the need and ability.
This worksheet is provided to be used in visual arts. Observing around some clothes and accessories can give some inspiration to design a new style of clothes made our of denim.
I got 3 levi jeans still going strong they are so nice and durable! I just don't like that they have buttons instead of a zip.
Looks like you put a lot of effort into this theme.
These are really great ideas, Adelien! I wear Levi's Jeans sometimes and they are still well made – it is neat for me to see the history behind them!
This is a great unit! I also like it a little more since my son is named Levi! I love how you incorporated it into so many studies!
Shelly DuVall Tale Tails has a episode that features Levi Strauss. It isn't a 100% acurate but it is nice if you want to show a movie with what you are learning.
What a wonderful idea to do a unit based on something so common designed by someone so wonderful! One of my sons will be moving into notebooking next year. I will absolutely keep this in mind for him. I LOVE your new header by the way.

Fyffe flying Aussie flag
By Southern Riverina News

Australian dressage rider Nicholas Fyffe is this week's SRN Sports Star of the Week.
Fyffe, 35, grew up in Finley and was a member of the local pony club before he left at the age of 17 to pursue his riding career. He's been living at Stillpoint Farm, Wellington, Florida since 2010.
Competing with Fyffe is his 14 year-old Hanoverian gelding named Hitchcock.
In the 2018 Adequan Global Dressage Festival, Fyffe and Hitchcock made their debut together in January, while they also recently represented Team Australia at the Nations Cup in the USA, where the team placed third.
''I was honoured to represent my country in this year's Nations Cup in Wellington,'' Fyffe said.
''Hitchcock is a very talented horse who has proven over the last few shows that he is quite competitive.
''He really stepped up to the challenge.
''I love spending time with the other Australian riders because that is a rare thing over here for me to get to network with other riders from Australia.
''I'm so thrilled because Australia has never received a medal in a Nations Cup before, and that is something I'm really proud of.''
It was the fifth time Fyffe had competed for Australia in the Nations Cup.
His passion for horses came from his family's long background training thouroughbreds.
''I started riding at the age of three however I took a couple of years off from riding to focus on competitive gymnastics,'' he said.
''I got back into riding and as a teenager I was obsessed by it.
''But being based in Finley there was no access to top competitions or anything to really influence me positively other than myself.''
After leaving home Fyffe trained and worked with competitive dressage rider Heath Ryan and then travelled to Germany where he spent 10 months training under world class dressage rider Martina Hannover.
He would eventually return to Australia to set up his own training business in Sydney for six years, before moving to the USA, making the move due to the higher level of competition with more opportunities to compete in Grand Prix.
Fyffe contributed to the Australian team's gold medal in the 2007 Tri Nations Cup in Johannesburg, South Africa, and he has ridden in five consecutive Nations Cup teams in Wellington, Florida.
He has qualified multiple horses for the World Young Horse Championships and has shown six horses to Grand Prix.

Q: Circular Visualization in Python with Piled Ranges How would one create a circular visualization (genome representation) in matplotlib (or other package) and pile up  pieces with percentage ranges. For example, if I have three genes, I would like to pile the three genes onto a circular map with a length 0-1. Some offset would be needed to distinguish individual ranges.
Gene 1: .1 - .25
Gene 2: .15 - .3
Gene 3: .6 - .68
Desired Output Below:

A: For reference, this is how to do it using "only" matplotlib:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data={
    0:{'name':'Gene 1', 'start': .10, 'end': .25, 'offset': 0.1, 'color': 'blue'},
    1:{'name':'Gene 2', 'start': .15, 'end': .30, 'offset': 0.2, 'color': 'orange'},
    2:{'name':'Gene 3', 'start': .60, 'end': .68, 'offset': 0.1, 'color': 'green'}
}

## setup the figure:
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111, projection='polar')
ax.set_theta_direction(-1) # make it go clockwise
ax.set_theta_zero_location('N') # put "0" at top
# remove the labels
ax.set_xticks([])
ax.set_yticks([])
ax.spines['polar'].set_visible(False)
LW = 3.0 ## setting the linewidth globally for fine-tuning

def add_bg_circle(ax):
    """ adds the central circle with top notch """
    # the circle
    circle_x = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi,200)
    circle_y = np.array([1.0 for x in circle_x])
    ax.plot(circle_x,circle_y,c="k",linewidth=LW)
    # the top notch
    line_y = np.linspace(1.0,1.1) ## change length of the top line here
    line_x = np.array([0 for y in line_y])
    ax.plot(line_x,line_y,c="k",linewidth=LW)
    # the text
    ax.text(0.0,1.15,"0",ha="center",va="center")

add_bg_circle(ax)

## plot the line segments:
for (k,v) in data.items():
    xs = np.linspace(v['start']*2*np.pi , v['end']*2*np.pi, 200)
    ys = np.array([(1.0 + v['offset']) for x in xs])

    ax.plot(xs, ys, linewidth=LW, label=v['name'])

_inner_lim = 0.5 # keep this below the value for the main circle at 1.0
_outer_lim = 1.3 # adjust to include all plotted segments
ax.set_ylim(_inner_lim,_outer_lim)

# plt.legend() # optional
# plt.savefig("dna_circle.png")
plt.show()

yields:

A: I would say that it's not gonna be easy to draw this using Matplotlib, but I assume you would be happy with other libraries as you claimed "or other packages" in your question.
I will show my method to draw this using Plotly. You could simply run pip install plotly to have this library.
I would use a polar axis to draw the circular chart, which makes everything easier.
Firstly, let's define a function for getting the radius r repeated in certain times together with the theta values. Please note that num_points is a constant value that makes your chart more "smooth" if you set it higher.
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np

def get_theta(pct, num_points=360):
  start = pct[0] * 360
  length = (pct[1] - pct[0]) * 360
  step = 360 / num_points
  return np.arange(start, start + length + step, step)

I will hard code your gene list. In your case, I assume you don't have to do this :)
# Hard-code your gene list
gene_list = [
  [0.1, 0.25],
  [0.15, 0.3],
  [0.6, 0.68]
]

Then, the code to draw the circular chart.
# Get radial scale
max_r = 1 + (len(gene_list) + 1) * 0.1

# Create a figure
fig = go.Figure()

# Create the main circle
fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
  r=[1]*360,
  theta=get_theta([0, 1]),
  mode='lines',
  line_color='black',
  line_width=3
))

# Create the zero indicator
fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
  r=[1, max_r - 0.1],
  theta=[0, 0],
  mode='lines',
  line_color='black',
  line_width=3
))

# Loop the gene list to add all the gene cirles
for index, circle in enumerate(gene_list):
  fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
    r = [1 + (index + 1) * 0.1] * 360,
    theta = get_theta(circle),
    mode='lines',
    line_width=3
  ))

# Configure the layout based on the requirements.
fig.update_layout(
  polar=dict(
      angularaxis=dict(
        rotation=90,
        direction="clockwise",
        showticklabels=True,
        showgrid=False
      ),
      radialaxis=dict(
        range=[0, 1 + (len(gene_list) + 1) * 0.1],
        showticklabels=False,
        visible=False
      )
  ),
  paper_bgcolor='white'
)

# Show the figure
fig.show()

Here is the chart that the code generated.

Definitely I can see there is still an issue. Each "gene" segment will not be rendered on the same radius. It's not impossible to replicate your example exactly, but apparently not easy. Hope this is enough for you. If it is really important for you. It might be worth to try to use the step less than 0.1 (find the 0.1 in my code and replace it).

Gemini uPVC Ltd (Trading as AWC Windows) residing in Westwood Industrial Estate Arkwright Street. Imagine sitting in a comfortable double glazed conservatory, enjoying your backyard, even within the winter. A nice thought, isn't it?
A double glazed conservatory doesn't solely provide you with this opportunity, but it surely additionally has many different benefits.
For a lot lower than the cost of constructing an extension onto your private home, a conservatory may give you some much needed space. Whether or not you use it as an workplace, a playroom, an extra sitting room, or a dining room, there are lots of ways the extra house could be used. No matter you employ it for, it might be a disgrace to have a double glazed conservatory built onto your own home just to use it occasionally. Your double glazing or conservatory installation company will be capable to provide you with numerous examples and ideas on how to use it as soon as it's installed.
These two phrases are usually not always compatible! With a conservatory you possibly can sit 'outdoors' in all weathers. There's something quite soothing about listening to the sound of the rain fall on glass, and unless you could have a greenhouse to site in, a conservatory is one of the best option. Really, even if in case you have a greenhouse, a conservatory is much nicer! With totally different styles to choose from, including a hundred and eighty diploma round glass conservatories, you can really feel near your garden whatever the climate brings.
A double glazed conservatory is added safety on your home. You may suppose that when you get a fully glazed conservatory it is not safe, but that isn't true. Keep in mind that there are two panes of glass all the way in which round, safe locks on the windows and doors of the conservatory, and it adds an extra barrier between the surface and the remainder of your house, offering you could have a lockable door from the primary part of your house into the conservatory.
In the event you set up a conservatory with double glazing, whether fully glazed or part glazed, you might be adding one other layer of insulation on one wall of your home. That is a massive bonus!
With these advantages in thoughts, it's price considering a double glazed conservatory, and you are sure to find a style you like.

Q: Want to run console.log once I have a function here and my question is: How can i run the console.log once and the function that im calling keeps on running?
function zetTemperatuur() {

    var handmatigeTemp = document.getElementById("gewenstetemperatuur").value;

    var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
        if (handmatigeTemp < temperatuur) {
            console.log("De motor van de wijnkoeler begint te draaien en zal geleidelijk aan dalen naar de gewenste temperatuur.");

            trekAf();
        } else if (handmatigeTemp == temperatuur) {
            console.log("Uw Wijnkoeler is op de juiste temperatuur, namelijk " + temperatuur + ". De motor zal nu uitschakelen om energie te besparen.");
            clearInterval(myInterval);
        } else {
            clearInterval(myInterval);
        }
    }, 3000);
}

A: Maybe be use a flag like :
 var logged = false;

 /*In your function*/
 if(!logged)
 {
  console.log(something);
  logged = true;
 }

A: Use Lodash's _.once
function log() {
  console.log('message')
}
var _log = _.once(log);
_log();
_log();

'message' will be logged once.

A: You could use just a flag:
function zetTemperatuur() {

                var handmatigeTemp = document.getElementById("gewenstetemperatuur").value;
                var flag = false;

                var myInterval = setInterval(function() {
                    if (handmatigeTemp < temperatuur) {
                        if (flag == false) {
                          flag = true;
                          console.log("De motor van de wijnkoeler begint te draaien en zal geleidelijk aan dalen naar de gewenste temperatuur.");
                        }

                        trekAf();
                    }
                    else if (handmatigeTemp == temperatuur) {
                        console.log("Uw Wijnkoeler is op de juiste temperatuur, namelijk " + temperatuur + ". De motor zal nu uitschakelen om energie te besparen.");
                        clearInterval(myInterval);
                    }

                    else {
                        clearInterval(myInterval);
                    }
                      }, 3000);
            }

EDIT
Shorter version:
function zetTemperatuur() {

                var handmatigeTemp = document.getElementById("gewenstetemperatuur").value;
                var flag = false;

                var myInterval = setInterval(function() {
                    if (handmatigeTemp < temperatuur) {
                        (!flag) && (flag = true);
                        console.log("De motor van de wijnkoeler begint te draaien en zal geleidelijk aan dalen naar de gewenste temperatuur.");

                        trekAf();
                    }
                    else if (handmatigeTemp == temperatuur) {
                        console.log("Uw Wijnkoeler is op de juiste temperatuur, namelijk " + temperatuur + ". De motor zal nu uitschakelen om energie te besparen.");
                        clearInterval(myInterval);
                    }

                    else {
                        clearInterval(myInterval);
                    }
                      }, 3000);
            }

A: setInterval(function() {
  if (!window.opener++) {
    console.log("print's once")
  }
  else {
    console.log("print's the remaining times")
  }

opener is a flag added to the globally available Window object, and window.opener++ is an increment operator (used postfix). It increments window.opener and returns the value before incrementing. So on the first loop, if (!window.opener++) evaluates to if (!null) (null is a falsey value, so this is true), and on the second iteration if (!1). The increment operator can also be used prefix to return the value after incrementing.

Malik Hooker says not to worry about Quincy Wilson switching to safety
Posted 5:30 PM, October 3, 2019, by Mike Chappell

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Malik Hooker offered some advice to those questioning whether Quincy Wilson, cornerback by trade, is capable of making what probably is a short-term switch to safety.
He's got this.
"Not worried at all,'' Hooker said Thursday afternoon. "I'm confident in him. I was just telling him that. There ain't no doubt in my mind that he can go out there and do it.''
Wilson must go out there and do it Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs at hostile Arrowhead Stadium because the Indianapolis Colts are running out of safeties. Hooker still is a few weeks away from returning after undergoing surgery to repair damaged meniscus in his left knee. His running mate, Clayton Geathers, hasn't practiced this week and remains in the NFL's concussion protocol.
That leaves the Colts thin at the position. Rookie Khari Willis, George Odom and Rolan Milligan are the only healthy, true safeties. Willis has been heavily involved in the defense, but made his first career start last week against Oakland. Odom is a special teams standout who has been on the field for just 12 defensive snaps in four games. That's 11 more reps than Milligan.
So, next man up. Even if it's a cornerback.
Again, Hooker summarily dismissed any concerns. He's seen his 2017 draft classmate – Hooker was the Colts' first-round pick, Wilson a second-rounder – mature on and off the field. He's watched as Wilson flashed his versatility.
"Quincy has done this before when we were down like this,'' Hooker said. "Even last year when we dealt with a lot of injuries. The year before we dealt with my ACL and Clayton coming back and being limited.
"This ain't his first rodeo knowing that he might possibly have to play safety. He plays every position. Quincy plays corner, he plays safety, he plays dime, he plays nickel. Safety basically is another dime. He can cover tight ends. He can play cover-2. He can play middle of the field in cover-3. He can drop in and play (near the line of scrimmage.
"That's why when you talk to him, he's so comfortable.
That's undeniable. Spend a few minutes with Wilson and you're struck by his unflappable disposition. He understands the enormity of the challenge awaiting the Colts at Arrowhead Stadium – the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs are tied for first in the league in scoring (33.8 per game) and have scored at least 26 points in each of Mahomes' 23 career starts – but welcomes it.
"Of course,'' he said. "This is why you play the game. You want to go against the best and make plays. That's definitely what I'm here for.''
To this point, Wilson has been here to play corner and be involved in coordinator Matt Eberflus' sub packages. He's started 43 of 56 games, all at corner.
At least until Hooker and/or Geathers return, Wilson's job description has changed.
"Yeah,'' he said with a smile, "I guess I'm a defensive back now.''
General manager Chris Ballard lauded Wilson's versatility during the offseason.
"He's really football smart,'' he said. "Right now he's playing five spots back there. He'll go corner, dime, nickel, little bit of safety. He can do a lot of roles for us.''
Ballard was equally pleased with Wilson's growth as a person and a player. When he reported to Indy as a rookie, Wilson was 20. He also was 214 pounds. Two plus-years later, Wilson has matured and is a firmer 193.
"You guys are going to see it,'' Ballard said.
Wilson doesn't have a ton of safety-specific experience to draw on. He appeared in 39 games with 24 starts at Florida, all at corner.
"In high school I started out playing safety, like my freshman and sophomore years,'' he said. "Then it was corner.''
Once again, his experience at safety?
"In the NFL, none,'' Wilson said. "In college, none.
"In practice for sure so it's not just completely new, like this will be my first time ever lining up at safety.''
Until Sunday, in an actual game setting. The team isn't tipping its hand whether Wilson joins Willis in the starting lineup or serves as the third safety and remains an integral part of the nickel and dime packages.
Hooker believes the transition from corner to safety won't be too much for Wilson.
"If you ask me, I think safety is a little easier,'' he said. "Corner, you've got to chase damn near the fastest guys on the field every play and anticipate every move they make.
"Safety is more about reacting. See and react. At corner, you see a little and react. At safety, you see everything.''
In that vein, it's fair to wonder if Mahomes will see everything Sunday. Quarterbacks pay attention when a team starts a rookie at safety or corner. They immediately test them.
Wilson isn't a rookie, but he'll be new to the position.
"Sure. No doubt,'' he said. "I know he's going to see 31 back there and go, 'Whoa, I didn't see that on film. Let's see what he's doing back there.'''
Yes, let's see.

Cricket World Cup 12 Oct 18
The rise of Afghanistan cricket
Afghanistan feature
The rise – and rise – of Afghanistan cricket through the ranks, from the lower levels to the highest one, has been a phenomenal one.
From playing in ICC World Cricket League Division Five in 2008 to making their Test debut earlier this year – with a first ICC Cricket World Cup appearance in 2015 in between – their journey has been rapid and unrelenting.
Another chapter in Afghanistan's already impressive book will be added next year, when they take part in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.
The journey to next year's tournament was a turbulent one – coming back from the brink at the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier earlier this year.
We chart the rise of cricket in Afghanistan, from humble beginnings to performing on the biggest stage of all.
Inception of cricket in Afghanistan (early 2000s)
Afghan youths play cricket in a public park of Kabul
Cricket was played by the British in Afghanistan in the 19th century, but it became popular among Afghans living in refugee camps in Pakistan in the 1990s.
With cricket being as popular as it is in Pakistan, it was little surprise that Afghan camps just outside Peshawar saw plenty of cricket action. In the early 2000s, as Afghans started to make their way back home, they took cricket with them.
Granted Affiliate status by ICC (2001)
The cricket board itself was formed in 1995, with the national team formed in 2001; the same year the ICC granted Affiliate status to the Afghanistan Cricket Federation (now the Afghanistan Cricket Board).
Asian Cricket Council Trophy (2006)
After being granted associate membership of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in 2003, the team hit the ground running in the 2006 Asian Cricket Council Trophy, reaching the semi-final. That increased the excitement among the Afghan public, and the next few years were full of impressive performances.
Silverware! (2007)
Afghan Cricket players arrive at Kabul airport after returning from the Asian Cricket Council Twenty20 Cup in November 2007
Under the leadership of Nawroz Mangal and with impassioned fans spurring them on, Afghanistan became joint winners of the inaugural ACC Twenty20 Cup in 2007 after the final against Oman ended in a tie.
The same year, Afghanistan won the ICC World Cricket League Division Five, defeating Jersey in the final. They remained unbeaten in the ICC World Cricket League Division Four in Tanzania and then won the ICC World Cricket League Division Three in Argentina.
World Cup Qualifiers (2009)
Noor Ali Noori of Afghanistan avoids a bouncer during the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifier match against Canada
Their performances in the ICC World Cricket League paved the way for Afghanistan to take part in the qualifiers for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. The side did remarkably well to reach the Super Eight stage in South Africa in 2009 but faltered at the last stage, where they lost to Canada.
However, their run helped them gain one-day international status in April 2009 – a phenomenal achievement considering they started out barely eight years before.
First World T20 appearance (2010)
Nowroz Mangal celebrates taking the wicket of AB de Villiers during the ICC World Twenty20 2010
Afghanistan next set their sights on the ICC World T20 in 2010, qualifying for the event by winning the ICC World T20 Qualifier 2010 held in Dubai, defeating Ireland in the final by eight wickets.
They rubbed shoulders with the big boys on the biggest stage, but not with much success, losing to India and South Africa to crash out of the tournament early. They recovered from their first World T20 tournament quickly though, beating Scotland in the ICC Intercontinental Cup final in Dubai in December the same year to win the event at their first attempt.
First ODI against a full member (2012)
Afghanistan captain Nawroz Mangal with his Pakistan counterpart Misbah ul-Haq in 2012
Afghanistan first faced a full member in an ODI with a clash against Pakistan in Sharjah on 10 February 2012. Although they lost by seven wickets, it was a red-letter day in the history of Afghanistan cricket. They also hosted Australia in a one-off ODI in Sharjah the same year.
Promotion to Associate membership (2013)
In 2013, Afghanistan was promoted from Affiliate to Associate member by the ICC.
ICC Cricket World Cup debut (2015)
Afghanistan fans celebrate their qualification for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
After narrowly missing out on an ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 berth, history was not going to repeat itself.
A clinical Afghanistan unit, led by Mohammad Nabi, beat Kenya by seven wickets to finish second in the ICC World Cricket League Championship in Sharjah. The victory meant Afghanistan would travel to the biggest event in world cricket – the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
They lost five matches in the group stage, but on 26 February 2015, Afghanistan created history when they recorded their first-ever win in a World Cup match, defeating Scotland by one wicket. A momentous occasion.
Video cwc19 26 Feb 15 03:02
Match highlights – AFG vs SCO
Awarded Test status (2017)
On 22 June 2017, Afghanistan were awarded Full Member status by the ICC along with Ireland. Soon, their maiden Test was slotted against India, to start on 14 June 2018 in Bengaluru.
Success at the Under-19 World Cup (2018)
Captain Naveen Ul Haq of Afghanistan and his team mates prior to their ICC U19 Cricket World Cup match against New Zealand
Like with most new teams, there was the question of the immediate future once they had reached prominence. But in Afghanistan's case, the next generation seems ready.
They first qualified for the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2010 and their best result came at the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2018 where they reached the semi-finals before losing to Australia. In 2017, the colts also won the Under-19 Asia Cup by beating Pakistan in the final by a huge 185 runs.
In the current Test squad, spinners Mujeeb Ur Rahman (17), Zahir Khan (19) and Wafadar Momand (19) are all still teenagers, while world-class leg-spinner Rashid Khan and batsman Ihsanullah are both 20.
ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier (2018)
Video cwc19 24 Mar 18 00:42
CWCQ POTD - Stanikzai hits the shot that takes Afghanistan to CWC19
Defeats to Scotland, Zimbabwe and Hong Kong left Afghanistan's World Cup Qualifier campaign in tatters.
Having gone into the tournament as one of the favourites to book their spot at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, three defeats from these games left Afghanistan with little hope of making it to CWC19.
However, a win against Nepal, who then did Afghanistan a favour by beating Hong Kong, helped them progress to the Super Six stage.
From there, it all went their way. They recorded wins against the Windies, UAE and Ireland – while relying on other results to go their way – to come back from the brink and finish second in the table, therefore confirming their place at the World Cup.
The icing on the cake came as they inflicted another defeat on the Windies in the final to lift the World Cup Qualifier trophy and finish the campaign in style.
First Test (2018)
Afghanistan players with the Indian team after their inaugural Test match
While the result and performance were far from what Afghanistan would have dreamed of, they still made more history in June 2018 when they made their Test debut.
India hosted Afghanistan in a one-off Test in Bengaluru, which ended with defeat inside two days for the debutants.
The game, however, was about more than the result. The sight of Afghanistan in the famous whites of Test cricket just 17 years after the creation of the national team was a huge victory in itself.
More World Cup history? (2019)
2019 represents another significant moment for Afghanistan cricket. A second Cricket World Cup appearance and the potential to really shock the world. Can they create yet more history?
A limited number of tickets to watch Afghanistan at #CWC19 are available to buy now. Click here to get yours before they're gone.

Q: concurrent-ruby slow in making db calls with Rails 5 I have been using concurrent-ruby 1.1.5 with Rails 5.1.6 and MySQL 8.0. I have to make 500 DB calls, so I tried to make it using concurrent ruby but the results are extremely slow than expected
Normal Loop call - This takes on an average 7-8 seconds
[1..500].map do
  ## Db Call
end

After changing the code and using concurrent ruby, this time increases to 12-13 sec
thread_pool = Concurrent::FixedThreadPool.new(10)
promises = []
[1..500].map do
  Concurrent::Promises.future({ executor: thread_pool }) do
    Rails.application.executor.wrap do
      ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool.with_connection do
        ## Db Call
      end
    end
  end
end

Not able to debug what could be the possible reason which is making the concurrent requests slow. Am I missing something?

Los Angeles: I sat down for an interview with Robert Scheer of Truthdig, who has interviewed every president for the past 40 years. Towards the end he told me – on the record – "I've spent quite a bit of time interviewing people who became president or who were president… And so, just in this short interview – there's no question in my mind that you're every bit the equal or superior to all of the presidential candidates that I've talked to." Needless to say, I was honored to get a thumbs-up from Robert Scheer, who hasn't previously been a fan of independent politics. Yet another sign of the rapidly changing political landscape!

The Obamacare We Deserve
Michael Moore's Op-Ed piece crys out against Obamacare, claiming that Obamacare's rocky start is the result of one fatal flaw: "The Affordable Care Act is a pro-insurance plan implemented by a president who knew in his heart that a single-payer, Medicare-for-all model was the true way to go."
Moore claims that Obamacare was conceived at a conservative thinktank, the Heritage Foundation, birthed in Massachusetts by then-Governor Mitt Romney, and was improved slightly under Obama so as to keep the private insurance industry intact.

Next Big Obamacare Shock May Come at Tax Time
People who use subsidies to help pay for their Obamacare policies may get a nasty shock at tax time, when the Internal Revenue Service could hit them with a big demand to repay the money.
While it's in the law, it's still likely to make plenty of Obamacare subscribers angry at the IRS.
A new job, promotion, or anything that causes income to go up could result in a demand to return the tax credits, if the life change isn't reported, according to the new rules.
Schumer's Claims About Democratic and GOP Efforts to 'Fix' Obamacare
Sen Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," on December 22, 2013 said, ""I think what most Americans want us to do is not repeal Obamacare, which is what our Republican colleagues are focused on, but fix it. The President is working to fix it, we are working in the Senate to fix it, we urge our Republican colleagues to join us in fixing it."
Author claims, however, that no so-called "technical corrections" bill has been passed, let alone introduced, because political passions continue to run high about the law. Thus, when unexpected problems have emerged, the White House has preferred to order administrative workarounds. Schumer's comment is an example of political rhetoric that misdirects through omission and its tone, leaving listeners in the dark about the actual dynamics on the Senate floor.
Glitchy State-Run Obamacare Sites Hitting 'Hurdle After Hurdle'
Obamacare, website glitches
Online Obamacare state-run enrollment operations in Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Oregon, have struggled with technological difficulties and low sign-up levels. Many top executives have been replaced. A few states such as California and New York have been more successful with relatively smooth rollouts.
More than 2 million people visited the federal healthcare.gov site on Dec. 23, ahead of a deadline to sign up for insurance coverage that starts Jan. 1. Thirty-six states are using the federal portal. The remaining 14 and the District of Columbia have built their own marketplaces.
Some of the states' missteps mirror that of the federal government's website. Like healthcare.gov, Oregon built its exchange without hiring an outside information-technology firm, known as a systems integrator, to organize the project.
Why Obamacare Surprise? Column
Four years ago the author started asking doctors what they thought Obamacare would lead to. The doctors talked mostly about three issues: the orchestrated rationing of health care, much more intervention by the government in health care decisions and higher costs for people like me. A couple of them predicted a coming doctor shortage.
The author feels that the news media could have done a better job of covering the Obamacare "drama."

New Obamacare Fees Coming in 2014
higher taxes, Obamacare
The cost of Obamacare will hit Americans in 2014 as new taxes pile up on their insurance premiums and on their income-tax bills.
The new taxes and fees include a 2 percent levy on every health plan, which is expected to net about $8 billion for the government in 2014 and increase to $14.3 billion in 2018. There's also a $2 fee per policy that goes into a new medical-research trust fund called the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute. Hidden taxes include the 2.3 percent medical-device tax that will inflate the cost of items such as pacemakers, stents and prosthetic limbs.

The Tanoto Foundation has long been known to provide assistance to schools and educational facilities throughout Indonesia. Recently, however, the Foundation has taken its initiatives one step forward by inaugurating the launch of two brand new facilities at Universitas Bhayangkara Jaya – the Tanoto Library and the Grha Tanoto.
Present at the event was none other than Imelda Tanoto, daughter of RGE Chairman and Tanoto Foundation leader Sukanto Tanoto. Miss Tanoto has given an enlightening speech to outline the current and future plans that the Tanoto Foundation has for local education in Indonesia.
According to Imelda Tanoto, there are two significant goals for achieving a more sustainable education: improving the "hardware" and "software" of education in Indonesia.
The "hardware" part has to do with the actual educational resources, such as classes, libraries and other facilities, as well as access to books, international journals and other resources students would need in order to have access to improved educational opportunities.
The "software" element, on the other hand, has to do with the quality of the education itself. For the purpose of improving that level of quality, the Tanoto Foundation is also actively involved in programs designed to train teachers to impart information and use creative teaching techniques for making the teaching process more engaging.
Through the inauguration of the Grha Tanoto and the Tanoto Library on June 15 of this year, the Tanoto Foundation hopes to provide students at the Universitas Bhayangkara Jaya with the ability to train and study much more efficiently than ever before.
Built through the collaboration of the Tanoto Foundation with the Brata Bhakti Foundation, the facilities provide several new classrooms and a highly advanced auditorium, while also making use of an hi-tech RF Identification-based security system.
While outlining the advantages of this new achievement, Imelda Tanoto has also pointed out that improving education is a major step toward poverty alleviation, and it is one of the main tools the Tanoto Foundation uses on a regular basis to help local communities attain a better quality of life.
