Home∙The Real Housewives Of Dallas∙D'Andra Simmons Reveals That She Prepares Notes Before Filming 'RHOD'
Team TV Deets Follow on Twitter Send an email 15 hours ago
D'Andra Simmons reveals in a new interview that she prepares notes before filming scenes for RHOD.
The Real Housewives of Dallas star made the revelation in a new interview with Page Six, explaining that she does so in order to not miss getting any of her points across with the other women.
"I kind of look at everything that's happening week by week and I will make my own notes about what points I want to get across," she says. "It's really important if you're not prepared when you're going into doing a scene and you forget something and … you can't go back."

D'Andra Simmons (third from left) reveals in a new interview that she likes to prep before filming RHOD.
While D'Andra believes that her preparation is good for the show, she isn't exactly sure producers on The Real Housewives of Dallas agree with her. "It's a catch-22. They like the fact I'm prepared," she explains. "On the other hand, then do you take out the spontaneity of what's going to happen? I always have to remember that just because I want this to happen, I want to get this point across, it may not be where it's going to go. The scene may not go that way."
Further explaining that her need to prepare comes from wanting to control things, D'Andra says that she is working on being more carefree. "I like to know what the end result is going to be and you can't do that with life," she dishes. "And I don't like that about life, but I have to let go and let things happen."
A post shared by TV Deets (@tvdeets)
While D'Andra's comments are certainly honest and revealing, we're not sure Real Housewives fans will appreciate that she prepares so much prior to filming RHOD.
On The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, for example, Lisa Vanderpump was taken to task by the other women over the years for reportedly wanting to self-produce scenes, and Real Housewives of New York's Bethenny Frankel and more recently, Real Housewives of Orange County's Braunwyn Windham-Burke have also been accused of preparing too much for Bravo cameras. In addition, it didn't exactly go over well with fans or the other Housewives when Nene Leakes was caught with notes while filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion.

One of the best things about the Niagara region is its agriculture. Virtually everything grows in this fertile area which is great news for local residents and also makes for delicious farm to table dining. While most of these farms are large scale operations some are more of the family farm variety and one of the best things about these farms is harvest season, especially when that means you can pick your own fresh fruits and vegetables.
The country roads throughout the Niagara region are dotted with signs advertising a variety of produce that you can pick but the real treat comes as summer ends and the glorious weather of fall begins because this signifies apple season. With the perfect growing climate and conditions, apples are one of Niagara's most treasured and profitable crops. Here you'll find macintosh, red delicious, and empire apples in abundance as well as a few other lesser known varieties.
So on your next trip to Niagara Falls hop into the car and head for one of Niagara's many apple orchards for a day of delicious fun the whole family will enjoy.
Just north of the falls and popular with pickers throughout the year, Parkway Orchards has been one of the favorites in the region for years. During other times of the year cherries, apricots, and other fruits have pickers lined up but September sees the real action with the start of the apple harvest.
Their hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends but these times may vary due to weather. Be sure to check their website for current information. Parkway Orchards also offers picked and cleaned fruit for easy pick up, homemade pies, and other treats in their gift shop.
Another of Niagara's most beloved apple farms is Windwood Farms, located just a little ways north east of Niagara. A true working farm in the sense that you won't find petting zoos or hayrides here, Windwood prides itself on the quality of its product and their commitment to excellence.
Windwood grows over twenty varieties of apples and picking starts in September. A member of their staff will give you a quick lesson in the proper apple picking technique then you're free to wander the orchards and chose your favorites. Windwood is currently only open on weekends but check their website for updated hours of operation.
Three generations of the Mathias family have seen this far flourish over the years and in addition to providing high quality berries and other fruits to local residents and restaurants their pick your own business really ramps up during apple season which tends to begin in September.
As a smaller scale operation their fruit is often picked out and sold rather quickly so if you want your choice of the best apples it's wise to contact them through their website, check what's available, and make an appointment for your picking session.
There's little that's more quaint and satisfying than picking your own fruits fresh from the tree. Apple picking in this part of the world is a yearly tradition for some families so why not join the fun on your fall vacation to Niagara Falls.

Tour of Qatar: American Brent Bookwalter Wins Stage 1
BMC rider takes his first professional victory
By aso/bicycling.com
Brent Bookwalter won Stage 1 of the Tour of Qatar on February 3, 2013. (B. Bade/ASO)
Dukan Beach, Qatar, February 3, 2013 (ASO) - Two days after the women's event, it was the men's turn to take on the Tour of Qatar. One hundred forty-three riders took of from the Katara Cultural Village in very windy conditions for a 146km stage all the way to the East Coast and Dukhan Beach. Despite quite a few attempts the pack remained bunched as it exited Doha.
At kilometer 14, under the influence of the side wind, the pack broke up into several groups with 14 men powering away, including the likes of Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma–Quick-Step), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky) and Taylor Phinney (BMC). But the pack bunched up together again at kilometer 35.
The first intermediate sprint (kilometer 40.5) was claimed by Phinney ahead of Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) and Bernhard Eisel (Sky). Shortly after, three riders managed to take off: Martin Velits (Omega Pharma–Quick-Step), Mathew Hayman (Sky) and Zakkari Dempster (NetApp Endura). Their advantage went from 2'40 at kilometer 50 to a maximum 5.10 at kilometer 62.
Again the pack broke up into several bunches after heading southeast. While Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Leopard), Eisel, Phinney, Juan Antonio Flecha (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Daniele Bennati (Saxo-Tinkoff) found themselves in a front group, Boasson Hagen was trapped in a second group and Cavendish in a third. At kilometer 79.5, the leading three were eventually caught by the first part of the pack where Cancellara could no longer be seen after only just avoiding a fall.
With 25 kilometers to go, the 24 leaders could enjoy a 34" advantage over the Boasson Hagen/Cancellara group and 1'22 over the Cavendish group. Eventually, just under 50 riders gathered together at the front. At kilometer 124.5, four men powered away: Eisel, Michael Schar (BMC), Dominique Rollin (FDJ) and Roy Curvers (Argos-Shimano). As the Cavendish group closed in on the main bunch, the leaders could enjoy a slim 15" advantage with 15 kilometers to go. The four escapees were finally caught at kilometer 130.
The final decisive move occurred a kilometer and a half later when Gregory Rast (RadioShack-Leopard), Brent Bookwalter (BMC) and Martin Elmiger (IAM) broke away. With only 5 kilometers to go, the front three had a 34'' lead, and remained under the increasing pressure of the chasing pack. A fantastic battle would then take place all the way to the finish line by the sea.
In the final straight, Brent Bookwalter managed to outsprint his breakaway companions and only just stay clear of the hungry pack. The American captured his first professional win, beating Elmiger and Rast to the line while Eisel won the bunch sprint just behind.
Bookwalter takes command of the overall standings and will therefore be wearing the golden jersey in tomorrow's team time trial. The BMC rider also leads the points' standings and captures the very first Qatar Airways Excellency jersey. His teammate Taylor Phinney will be wearing the white pearl jersey for the best young rider.

1. BOOKWALTER Brent BMC RACING TEAM 3h 28' 37"

Google Drive Slashes Cost of Storage To Compete with OneDrive
March 18, 2014 by Aimy Chen
Google Drive slashed the monthly pricing plan for 100GB to US$1.99 from US$4.99, and 1TB to US$9.99 from US49.99, Google announced in a blog post. The cost of 10TB was just US$99.99 for 10TB. The original 15GB plan remained free.
The price cut came soon after Microsoft OneDrive dropped its pricing plan to US$25 annually for 50GB, US$50 for 100GB, and US$100 for 200GB, as part of the renaming of SkyDrive Pro.
Paying Drive users were automatically moved to a higher plan with no additional cost.
A terabyte was enough for anyone to take a selfie twice a day for the next 200 years and still had room left over, said Scott Johnston, director of product management.

Gmail Update – Now You Can Save Files Directly to Google Drive
November 18, 2013 by Sholto Macpherson
Gmail users could for the first time save files attached to emails directly to their Google Drive (online storage) without having to download the files to their computer thanks to an update last week.
The long-awaited feature, announced last Tuesday, was one of several improvements for handling attachments in Gmail and Google Apps, which centred on a new file preview mode at the end of an email. The preview showed a thumbnail image of photos, videos, spreadsheets and PDFs. Each thumbnail could be downloaded or saved to Google Drive, or there were buttons to save all files to Google Drive or download them all.
Clicking on a preview brought up a full-screen view of the image or document. The new feature let users read, search for a particular phrase, or browse through multiple attachments right in Gmail.
Once a file had been saved in Google Drive it could be shared with others who could access the file from any device – computer, phone or tablet.
The attachments upgrade was available on desktop and would be rolling out to Gmail users over the next week. Google claims it had 120 million active Google Drive users.

Why You Should Move from Dropbox to Google Drive
October 11, 2013 by Peter
Check out an alternative opinion: Why You Should Move from Dropbox to SkyDrive Pro
The day Google released their desktop sync app for Google Drive I knew it was a 'Dropbox killer'. I still use my Dropbox for some personal files while I wait for my yearly subscription to expire – however I'll be re-thinking the service when it's up for renewal.
Here are 5 reasons why I prefer to Google Drive to Dropbox.
1. Best choice for Google Apps/Gmail users
Google Drive obviously makes the most sense if you're already using Gmail or Google Apps. At first I used Google Drive to store Google documents and Dropbox for all my Microsoft Office documents. But some time ago Google added the ability to store any type of file on Google Drive, not just Google Docs, Google Spreadsheet and Google Slide files.
Now you can keep them all on the one service and access them for the handy Google Drive applications for iOS and Android devices.
2. Better for collaborating on documents
I'm an avid user of Google Docs and I've been slowly replacing the need to use Microsoft Office on my main PC. The main reason I prefer working with Google Docs is that multiple people can edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations at the same time, as well as being able to easily collaborate live from any device (such as my iPad).
Using Google Drive as part of the Google Apps/Gmail ecosystem makes multi-user editing much easier and doesn't require you to wait for documents to sync before making changes. Dropbox doesn't let two people work on a document at the same time – synchronisation conflicts often occur with documents shared by teams.
If you're cost-conscious you'll be happy to know that Google Drive is more affordable than Dropbox for individual data storage. Google Drive offers 25GB of storage for just $2.49/month and 100GB for $4.99 per month. Dropbox has a free 2GB plan, but if you're using more than that the minimum plan is 100GB at $9.95/mth.
4. Permissions
Dropbox and Google Apps use encryption to protect your data, and both also have provisions for two-factor authentication, which adds a second password for each computing device. Where Google Drive stands out is when managing large teams of over 10 staff who are using Google Apps.
Since Google Drive accounts are tied to each user account in Google Apps, there is one less online identity login to manage. Managing Dropbox accounts across large teams adds administrative overhead such as resetting forgotten passwords.
Google Apps includes sophisticated group-level permissions covering Gmail, Calendars, Drive and Docs, allowing you to organise your team into groups. Adding or removing a team member to a Google Apps group will automatically grant them access to any documents and folders shared with that group in Google Drive. This can save time when onboarding new staff.
Dropbox for Teams allows you to configure groups and group permissions, however you are tasked with manually managing a disparate set of group permissions for your business which can quickly get out of sync with the groups you have set up in Google Apps or alternative productivity suites.
Google lets developers create applications that can integrate with Google Drive and enhance its appeal and functionality. For example, you can use Google Drive to save flowchart and mindmap documents created with Lucidchart.com directly to Google Drive folders.
Another great integration is CloudHQ which lets you see your Dropbox files and Evernote notes in your Google Drive. You can synchronise the data two ways – adding or deleting files in Dropbox, Evernote or Google Drive will add or remove them in the other two apps, so you can access all your data from one location. This is a great option for anyone who has made the switch to Google Drive and is still sharing data with others using Dropbox.
Since I've moved away from Dropbox to Google Drive for primary file storage I have saved money and enjoyed the benefits of a file storage solution more tightly integrated with our favourite email and collaboration platform, Google Apps.

An Easy Way to Copy Files Between Cloud Storage Apps
September 25, 2013 by Sholto Macpherson
Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, Dropbox, Box. The number of options for storing your business documents in the cloud grows each year. But how do you switch between them?
Labnol.org has posted a short blog about a service called Mover.io that transfers files and folders from one cloud storage service to another. The service works on a freemium model – you can transfer up to 10 GB of data for free and then pay $1 per extra GB of transfer.
Mover can even move files to and from enterprise storage with Amazon S3 – and from there to Amazon's super-cheap archiving service, Glacier, which charges as little as 1c per GB.
As Labnol.org writes:
Mover has connectors for all popular cloud storage providers. You may copy files from your Google Drive to Dropbox, from SkyDrive to Box or even from your old Google account to the new one. They also support FTP allowing you to directly transfer files from Google Drive or Dropbox to your FTP server, over the cloud.
There are no restrictions on individual file size limits (except for SkyDrive) and you may transfer unlimited number of files. Mover creates a mirror copy of your folders on the destination service but if a folder on the source drive has too many files, you have an option to zip them all in a single file before the transfer.
The activity log (see next screenshot) in your Mover dashboard offers a near real-time view of ongoing transfers and the service also sends a detailed email notification when a transfer job has been processed.

Five things you need to know about Google Drive
June 6, 2013 by Andrew Price
Google Drive is an "online hard drive" where Google Apps users store, file and share their documents online. It's easy to use but to get the most out of it there are a couple of tips that really help.
1. Adding files to a shared folder
Google Drive has been designed from the ground up for sharing, or collaboration. But the way in which we share and organise our files is very different to the way we would organise them on a normal hard drive. This sometimes causes headaches for network admins and users alike.
The two most confusing changes are:
Documents are owned by the user who created or uploaded the files by default
Documents are shared and not copied into a file store.
This can cause issues when a business needs to remove a user who owns documents or when a colleague needs a document but is unsure of where it is filed. Often these items are often owned by another user in a folder shared with us.
This can make the process of collaboration cumbersome and slow. You want to keep files and folders handy while you need to work on them rather than having to search for it every time.
We can do this by adding the shared folder to our own Google Drive. In Google Drive Click, on the "Shared with me" menu item. A list of files and folders will show up. When you find the file or folder you require you can add it into "my Drive" by holding the Option key on a mac or the Ctrl key on a PC.
Although it looks like the folder is in a different place, you have simply created a link in your Google Drive to the shared location. Now you can add files and other folders you own to this shared folder.
2. Taking Google Drive offline
Google Apps users frequently want to take their created and shared documents offline and work on them where there is no internet coverage for example on road trips or flights.
Google is in the process of taking all of their Google Drive services offline. Services that can already be used offline include:
Google Apps offline
Users need to have the Chrome browser to take Google Drive offline. When you are both logged into Google Drive and in Google Chrome
Click More on the left-hand side of the screen.
Select Offline Docs.
Install the Documents app from the Chrome Web Store
Once installed it takes you back to Google Drive. Select the "Enable offline" button.
3. Google Drive Sync
Google Drive Sync was released in the middle of 2012. It allows you to sync your Google Drive between your desktop PC (Mac or Windows PC). It also syncs almost any format from your PC to your Google Drive so you can access the file without being on the computer holding the original file.
Google Drive will sync files that are part of your "My Drive" folder to a Google Drive folder on your PC that is created when you install Google Drive.
The product is very similar to Dropbox and Box. Google Drive Sync is very quick, the storage can be upgraded quickly and relatively cheaply, it ties into the Google Apps ecosystem and it allows you to use these files with the other productivity apps in the suite like Gmail, Google Hangouts, and Google Sites.
4. Free QuickOffice for Google Apps for Business
Google acquired Quickoffice last year to gain knowledge and technology about converting Microsoft Office documents. They have used this acquisition to two ends.
Google gives it away for free to Google Apps for Business users on the App Store so they can view and edit Microsoft Office products on their iPad.
Google has also improved the quality of conversions from Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents into the equivalent Google Apps formats.
The quality of the file conversion has come a long way since this acquisition. A large majority of documents, when uploaded to Google Drive, are converted almost perfectly into the appropriate Google format.
5. Real-Time Applications
Google recently gave Google Drive the ability to connect to other online or cloud programs using a connector called an API (application programming interface). Programs can send information and update Google programs instantly.
Here are two programs that use Google's Realtime API:
Gantter is a free, web-based project management tool. When coupled with Google Drive Gantter allows multiple users to collaborate on a project plan at the same time. Gantter files can be stored on Google Drive and users can use Google Chat to further assist in productivity.
Draw.io is a similar program which lets a team collaborate and chat while editing a drawing simultaneously. It is produced by the team behind LucidChart.


Tendai Mtawarira will become just the sixth Springbok and eighth prop in World Rugby to pick up his 100th cap on Saturday after he was named to start against England in the pivotal second test of this Incoming Series in Bloemfontein.
He will take his place in the front row alongside the returning Frans Malherbe who is one of two changes made by Head Coach Rassie Erasmus. Pieter-Steph du Toit also returns to the starting XV with Jean-Luc de Preez taking the seat on the bench that Du Toit will be vacating.
England have rung the changes as well with Joe Launchbury recovering from injury to partner Maro Itoje in the second row at Nick Isiekwe's expense whilst back row stalwart Chris Robshaw also drops out of the 23 as Brad Shields earns his first test start on the blindside flank.
Danny Cipriani has also been recalled to the bench and could collect his first international cap since 2015.
For both coaches they will want more of the same from their respective attacking units as they got last week but defensively there will be no doubt that facets of this department will have been worked on during the week.
Erasmus will not want South Africa's slow start of last week to be repeated as he knows England will have learnt some game management lessons last time out and are unlikely to unravel in the way they did in Johannesburg.
The addition of Du Toit in the back row not only gives the Boks another lineout option but it also adds a hugely powerful ball carrier in the loose. England struggled to contain the likes of RG Snyman and Duane Vermeulen last week and this will have been recognised by the coaches as a weakness in the English defence.
This could explain the decision to select Shields at openside. His tackling is more destructive than that of Robshaw and it will most likely give the young Tom Curry more freedom to try and get his hands over the ball at the breakdown and also give him a chance to get nearer to Faf de Klerk at the base of the scrum.
Shields, as his name aptly suggests, may have a brief of protecting the diminutive George Ford in the fly half channel. This will surely be his primary objective as Ford was attacked relentlessly by the likes of Damien de Allende and Snyman. Ford lost that battle on every occasion and Shields will look to take his fly half out of the equation with some first up tackling of his own.
There are no changes in either back division which is no surprise with the amount of points they plundered last weekend and for Erasmus this will be a fairly simple team talk. Same again please gentlemen. Some defensive alignment and issues out wide will have been addressed but in attack they had the Red Roses wilting in the late evening sun.
England have two missions on their hands if they are to take this series to a grandstand decider in Cape Town.
Stop Vermeulen and Stop De Klerk.
Vermeulen had the white shirted back row in his pocket last week and Billy Vunipola knows that he is going to have to up his game to match the domineering number 8 and stop the quick ball that allowed man of the match De Klerk to dictate the pace of the play and move his forwards precisely where he wanted them.
This series is on a knife edge and one stroke of luck either way or one piece of brilliance will most likely decide whether the series is still alive on Saturday night but one thing is for certain, if it is half as entertaining as the first test then we will be in for a delectable test match treat.
Replacements: 16 Akker van der Merwe, 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Thomas du Toit, 19 Jean-Luc duPreez, 20 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 21 Ivan van Zyl, 22 Jesse Kriel, 23 Warrick Gelant.
England: 15 Elliot Daly, 14 Jonny May, 13 Henry Slade, 12 Owen Farrell (c), 11 Mike Brown, 10 George Ford, 9 Ben Youngs; 1 Mako Vunipola, 2 Jamie George, 3 Kyle Sinckler, 4 Maro Itoje, 5 Joe Launchbury, 6 Brad Shields, 7 Tom Curry, 8 Billy Vunipola.

WASHINGTON (AP) —As Congress and President Donald Trump's administration aim to lower prescription drug costs, outside groups like the Alliance for Patient Access are seeking to sway the outcome. But not all of these organizations are clear about who they actually represent. Their names can obscure the source of the message, and they're cagey about where they get their funding. The alliance, for example, is backed by the pharmaceutical industry.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump stepped up his pressure on General Motors to reopen an Ohio manufacturing plant that recently closed and put 1,700 people out of work. Trump's arm-twisting came in a series of separate tweets on Saturday and Sunday . He capped his weekend rant against GM with a tweet disclosing that he had vented his frustrations during a conversation with the company's CEO, Mary Barra.
BERLIN (AP) — Shares in Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have risen despite widespread skepticism about the merits of a possible merger between the two German lenders. Germany's biggest bank, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank announced Sunday they would discuss a possible combination, a deal Germany's finance minister reportedly favors. The merger would bring together two lenders that have been troubled over recent years, but unions fear that it could lead to major job losses.
LONDON (AP) — European Union foreign ministers are urging Prime Minister Theresa May to make clear Britain's position on leaving the bloc, as the Europeans weigh whether to approve an extension to the Brexit process. Ahead of a Brexit-focused summit of EU leaders this week, the ministers implored May once again to set out clearly what she wants from her European partners, less than two weeks before the Brexit date.

On behalf of the Committee on Academic Freedom in the Middle East and North Africa of the Middle East Studies Association of North America, I write to express the Committee's deep dismay at the alarming number of recent attacks by the government of Iran against academics and other intellectuals solely for attempting to exercise their right to freedom of expression and to exchange information.
On January 13 a Revolutionary Court convicted and handed down sentences for ten persons, including several academics and independent scholars, who had participated in a public forum in Berlin in April about the future of Iran.
The renowned independent scholar Hojjat al-Islam Hassan Youssefi-Eshkevari remains in jail awaiting sentencing following his conviction on charges of apostasy by a Special Clergy Court for his remarks at the Berlin forum, charges that can carry the death penalty.
Student leader Ali Reza Afshari, who was among those convicted and sentenced on January 13, faces separate charges for his remarks critical of the government at a campus rally in late November.
On January 17 a Tehran court ordered the summary closure of Kiyan, an independent journal that has published many of Iran's leading intellectuals and fostered open debate on religious and philosophical matters.
We strongly urge you to take immediate steps to end this systematic official persecution of independent thinkers and writers, a campaign that is in clear violation of Iran's obligation under international law to uphold and protect the right to free expression.
Your Excellency, those persons convicted and sentenced for their participation in the Berlin forum faced baseless, politically-motivated charges that they had "conspired to overthrow the system of the Islamic Republic." On January 13, following secret trials that violated international fair trial standards, seven of the seventeen defendants received sentences of up to ten years in prison, and in the case of journalist Akbar Ganji an additional five years of internal exile. Two translators, Saeed Sadr and Khalil Rostam-Khani, were sentenced to ten and nine years respectively. Rostam-Khani did not even attend the Berlin conference, although he was involved in its preparation. The court sentenced to four and a half years in prison publisher and women's rights activist Shahla Lahidji, who participated in MESA's annual conference in 1998, and lawyer and writer Mehrangiz Kar, who participated in the MESA conference in 1996. Kar, who has been diagnosed with cancer, has been forbidden to travel abroad for medical treatment. Ezzatollah Sahabi, a prominent essayist and journalist, was sentenced to four and a half years. Fariborz Rais-Dana, an economist at Tehran University, received a three-year suspended sentence. Two other writers, Changiz Pahlevan and Kazem Kardavani, and translator Roshanak Darioush, have not returned to Iran because of the charges pending against them.
Hojjat al-Islam Hassan Youssefi Eshkevari, a respected independent writer and religious scholar and another participant in the Berlin forum, was held in solitary confinement for more than two months after his arrest in early August. He remains in prison awaiting sentencing following his conviction by Special Clergy Court on charges of apostasy and "corruption on earth," which may be punishable by death. According to information we have received, the charges against him stem from remarks he reportedly made at the Berlin meeting in which he expressed his view that veiling and enforcement of strict dress codes against women were rooted in cultural traditions but not required by Islam.
Ali Reza Afshari, a leading student activist from Amir Kabir University of Technology in Tehran and a member of the central council of the Office to Foster Unity (Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat), an organization supportive of President Khatami, was sentenced to five years in prison for his participation in the Berlin meeting. Afshari was also arrested in late December on separate charges of "espionage" and "spreading lies" following remarks he reportedly made on November 26 at Amir Kabir University, and in which he asserted that the role of the Supreme Leader as above the constitution (velayat-e faqih) should be decided by a popular referendum.
The January 17 summary closure of the journal Kiyan by Saeed Mortazavi, a judge in the Tehran General Court, was based on provisions of Iran's penal code which empower the courts to seize and shut down "instruments used for committing crimes." Judge Mortazavi reportedly claimed that Kiyan had "published lies, disturbed public opinion, and insulted sacred religion." Such efforts by the government to criminalize the peaceful expression of critical thinking and writing displays a flagrant disregard for basic human rights that Iran is committed by treaty to uphold.
As a matter of utmost urgency, therefore, we appeal to you, in your capacity as Supreme Leader, to take the following steps. First, we ask that you request Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi, Head of the Judiciary, to drop all pending charges against Ali Reza Afshari, charges that are clearly intended to punish him for exercising his internationally protected right to freedom of expression and to intimidate others from exercising this right. Second, we ask that you take steps to ensure that the unjust Revolutionary Court convictions imposed on January 13 and the Special Clergy Court conviction of Hojjat al-Islam Eshkevari can be appealed to a higher body or bodies whose procedures comply with international fair trial standards in order that they may be overturned. Third, we ask that you revoke the ban against the journal Kiyan, as well as the closure orders against the many other independent publications that have been forcibly shut down by the authorities over the past year.
By taking these steps without delay, your government can avoid irreparable damage to Iran's international standing as a country with a great tradition of learning and scholarly inquiry, and restore to Iranian society the benefits that result from the free exchange of ideas. We thank you in advance for your attention to this matter and look forward to your reply and corrective actions.


The consumer launch of Vista may be happening tomorrow, but it has already been accused of breaking the self-same anti-trust laws that XP fell foul of.
"Microsoft has chosen to ignore the fundamental principles of the Commission's March 2004 decision," said Simon Awde, chairman of the European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS) in a statement, adding that the new product goes even further, by using its desktop dominance to compete on the Internet.
ECIS filed a formal complaint about Vista to the European Commission's anti-trust division a year ago. The Commission said at the time that it would examine the complaint carefully. That examination is understood to be still ongoing.
The ECIS has described Vista as "the first step in Microsoft's strategy to extend its market dominance to the Internet." Microsoft's XAML markup language inside Vista was designed to replace industry standard HTML, it claimed. XAML is designed to be dependent on Windows, and therefore not interoperable with other systems.
In addition, Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 will introduce the Open XML file format called OOXML in a move to replace the ODF industry standard. "Unlike the ODF file format which operates on multiple vendor platforms, Microsoft's OOXML today only runs seamlessly on the Microsoft Office platform," ECIS said.
"With XAML and OOXML Microsoft seeks to impose its own Windows-dependent standards and displace existing open cross-platform standards which has wide industry acceptance, permit open competition and promote competition-driven innovation," said Thomas Vinje, a partner at law firm Clifford Chance and legal advisor to ECIS. "The end result will be the continued absence of any real consumer choice, years of waiting for Microsoft to improve - or even debug - its monopoly products, and of course, high prices," he added.
Microsoft declined to comment on the ECIS statement.


A judge ruled that Dennis Watkins, a Trumbull County Prosecutor and some of his employees have to participate in depositions for an ongoing lawsuit that is looking to throw out David DeChristofaro the county Engineer from his position. Attempts to suppress subpoenas, or to at the very least produce a protective order to stop the testimony from being heard, were filed recently for Watkins and assistant prosecutors Jeff Adler and James Saker. They tried to use the argument that any information that would come out in testimony may have attorney-client privileged information because their office was the counsel for DeChristofaro and every county office members. Judge Paul Mitrovich declined to permit the motion to suppress. He justified his actions by saying that any sensitive information or communication that may come up from any inquiries would be addressed on a one on one basis. If an answer is refused from the prosecutor's personnel because of a possible attorney-client privilege, actions would be made to have it addressed by the judge in the near future. Past witnesses had been questioned about the involvement of DeChristofaro at a Niles Men's Democratic Club the beginning of this year about allegations that he used county equipment to print out campaign material. And this misuse of county equipment and resources is actually the meat of the lawsuit which was filed in February against DeChristofaro. The lawsuit was brought on by Vincent Davila Sr., a Niles electrician, who wants DeChristofaro an engineer to be thrown out from office because of the investigation if DeChristofaro broke any laws by his actions of printing out material which were then distributed to precinct committeemen. It should also be noted that DeChristofaro is also in 3 other lawsuits which are in federal courts for claims of wrongful hiring of 3 employees DeChristofaro fired after he took office. 2 of the 3 lawsuits have been resolved.


The last three weeks of being on a low-sugar lifestyle change have been eye-opening, to say the least! Saying no to the old way of eating (mindlessly, mostly) and bringing in the new way (completely, constantly mindful) is not easy. It's even more difficult when feeding four snack-addicted youngsters, and to further complicate the transition, we're doing it all on a tight budget! Well, at least we're figuring out that it can be done.
It has taken a large amount of creativity, little dose of patience, and a well-deserved and strategically planned cheat or two to make something like this work for the whole family. For example, tonight my thoughtful husband got us out of the house and over to McDonald's, one of our family's favorite haunts "pre-low-sugar diet." I had a sugar-free cappuccino, which curtailed my annoying sweet tooth, and the girls and I shared frozen yogurt sundaes. Not too much damage done, while my growing obsession with something sweet is quenched.
Gigi, my six-year-old bread lover, still gets to eat her carbs, just less of them. She is finding the transition smoother than she first thought it would be when she stood horrified as I threw all the "crap" that was in the pantry into the trash three weeks ago! She is relieved that I am finding creative solutions to meet her bottomless need for all things carbohydrates, even as I sneak more protein into her previously sugar-infested diet.
The variety in our diet as a family has not been eliminated; in fact, we are finding that we are getting more creative with the foods we are allowed to eat. We eat more "colorful" food now, beautifully full salads and soups, loaded with such delicacies as avocado, cheeses in all forms, and crisp, fresh nuts. I was also so happy to get guiltless permission to enjoy my occasional bacon again, and the once a week red meat serving in the form of a juicy steak is always a pleasure!
So as we enter our fourth week as a low-sugar, low-carb eating family, we have renewed commitment and an excited expectation as our waists are shrinking and our energy levels increasing. No more rise and fall all day long, of sugar levels and emotions! More stability, less irregularity. We can do this!
What about your Katy family? Are you pursuing a new health regimen for your family? I'd love to hear about it!

THE YEAR BETWEEN
Drakensberg
A few months before leaving the States, a friend told me, "I think you'll love the Drakensberg - it's a lot like Colorado." Well, no offense to Colorado, but when it comes to mountain views, the Drakensberg is even more dramatic and spectacular. Driving up to the range, you feel as small as an ant. And once you're at the summit, you share the view only with birds.
We knew right away that we had to hike to the summit of Sentinel Peak. We lucked out with a sunny day and we were off. There's a trailhead at 2,800m that you can reach by car, so you only have to climb 900m to reach the summit. (I know, right, "only!")
The hike was broken into three phases: switchbacks (which our guide called "zig zags"), rondavels (which wrap around the mountain's natural curves, gradually sloping upward) and then a 75m rock scramble to the top.
The rock scramble was the hardest part, by far. Luckily, we had plenty of time there to rest, eat lunch and walk around taking in the incredible views at the top. Walking up to the edge was something else - there was nothing separating you from a 1,000+m plummet to your death.
We walked along the top to the Tugela Falls, the second highest waterfall in the world. However, due to the drought that's currently plaguing much of South Africa, it was the driest second highest waterfall in the world while we were there. Besides some murky brown water full of tadpoles sitting in the holes, the waterfall was not flowing at all. Not even a trickle. It's a shame, because a local told us that when it's flowing, you can swim at the top.
On the way back down from the summit, we encountered the chain ladders. (Insert "dun, dun, dunnn" noise here.) At 20 and 40 meters long respectively, they're basically rope ladders made of metal poles and chains bolted into the vertical rock face. While we heard some guides will provide safety straps, ours simply said, "go ahead!" and down we went. While it would be difficult to fall off as long as you maintained three points of contact, we were still freaked out (we're both spooked by heights) and quite relieved to make it to the bottom. But, why are we on this trip if not to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones, right?
It was smooth sailing from there and, after a total of 5 hours hiking, we were back at the car, ready for a much deserved cold beer.
Made with love, sweat and Squarespace.

Dig into a genealogical gold mine: your ancestors' deeds, claims and other land records.
A piece of land to call your own: It's the American dream — and the aspiration that lured your ancestors to the United States, to the frontier, to the suburbs. Each time they bought, sold or claimed land, they left behind a genealogical paper trail.
The type and location of those records depends on who sold the property to your family. In public-land states, the federal government was the initial landowner. Some veterans or their heirs received acreage in the form of bounty-land warrants, particularly in Midwestern areas such as Ohio's Virginia Military District. After Congress passed the massive public land giveaway called the Homestead Act of 1862, westward-bound pioneers began to file applications, or claims, with the federal government's General Land Office. Settlers who stuck it out for five years and made improvements, such as digging wells and plowing fields, got to keep their 160-acre plots.
In state-land states, other proprietors laid their claims before the US government could. You might find records of initial land sales in state archives. Once a private citizen bought land from the initial owner, subsequent transactions were recorded in deeds and titles at county courthouses. Lesser-used land records include tax assessments and lists, which show the tax on your ancestor's property and whether he paid up. Tax records contain little family information but can confirm a residence.
Consult historical maps to pinpoint your ancestor's corner of the world — or see how she got there. The Web sites, books and organizations in this section might contain actual land records or just index them for a particular area and time period. You'll also find digitized maps, tools for translating legal land descriptions and confounding place names, and more.

The dust has settled a bit on Booker's proposed acquisition of Musgrave GB which, assuming it is approved, will have a huge and lasting impact on convenience retailing in the UK.
The immediate benefit will be felt by symbol group retailers, where Premier operators should get better fresh and chilled, Londis retailers should get better prices, and Budgens retailers should get more entrepreneurial flexibility.
So, on the face of it, it's a massive win-win-win for retailers, but it might take a while before the desired outcomes can be fully realised. Booker's recent success has been based on simplicity and lean management, so let's not underestimate the challenges that the organisation faces in taking over a complex and people-heavy pair of symbol groups.
There are a couple of other nagging issues that need solving as well. The Budgens company-owned stores will have to be disposed of somehow, and with 4,900 symbol retailers being served by Booker there will be some issues of proximity, although industry insiders suggest there might only be as few as 70 locations where this could be an issue.
In any case, the positives heavily outweigh the negatives. A profitable supply partner has to be a more sustainable basis for businesses to grow than one surrounded in anxiety and doubt. Indeed, convenience is in boom, but at present many of its symbol group practitioners are falling short of targets, or even basic profitability. Only consolidation can solve this, and the process has begun.

Jarabe Tapatio on the Hohner Musette Accordion
Also known as "Mexican Hat Dance," performed upon my Hohner musette accordion, a 4/5 reed instrument in LMMM configuration. Music by F. A. Patrichala, published in a songbook by Ashley Publications. Dedicated to all my friends in Sonora, Mexico,
especially Nacozari, Aconchi, Choyudo, Puerto Arturo, Puebla, San Pablo, La Estancia, Los Hoyos, Arizpe, Hermosillo, Cumpas and Banamichi.
Hat: made by Filson.
This song is a favorite throughout Mexico and is considered to be the National Song of that country. Although the melody and rhythm sound more exciting at the faster 6/8 tempo, I have chosen to play this song at the more dance-like 3/4 time, a tempo which also suits the second refrain section with a waltz signature which I find immensely enjoyable. Ashley Publications presents the entire piece in their sheet music, with the often missing middle refrain nicely included. The bassoon voice of the Hohner has a very deep sounding texture and the musette registers offer a delightfully rich tuning of the middle reeds.
Hiking in the Superstition Mountains
Image size 3" diameter, pen & ink, G. Tompkins
A Wilderness Journey & a Memorable Encounter
Many years ago I drove from my home in Mesa to spend a day hiking in the Superstition Mountains at Lost Dutchman State Park, just north of Apache Junction, Arizona. It is a leisurely drive from where I live to the entrance of the Park, perhaps 30 to 40 minutes, with clear views all around and a rare majesty of the mountain/ desert interface on panoramic display. On this particular day I brought an Audubon Bird Call with me as well as some reading material, good hiking boots, comfortable clothing (safari style), a couple of snacks, plenty of water, and a nice cowboy hat to offer some shade from the hot desert sun. Early in the morning I started up the main trail and hiked a brief segment until I found a shady spot next to some palo verde trees and rock outcroppings. There I found a perfectly secluded spot where no one could see me and I could rest amidst the bounty of natural flora & fauna, taking delight in these extraordinary surroundings.
A Startling Sound & A Brilliant Display
As I became entirely comfortable in this desert hideaway, I began to read and to quietly mimic the sound of bird chirps through the use of the bird call. After a few minutes I suddenly became aware of a thundering sound and a delicate palpitation right next to my right eye and upper cheek. I thought for a moment that it was a very large bumble bee or honeybee and I just froze unable to move. This winged phenomenon was beating its wings wildly in an extraordinary manner, and I could hear it and feel it so distinctly, perhaps only 6 inches from my face. I turned my gaze ever so slightly toward this object and noticed very bright, iridescent colors, and a very long, slender and narrow bill. It was a beautiful hummingbird just hovering next to me, apparently attracted by the sound of the bird call and looking me over from cowboy hat to dusty boots! This moment only lasted a brief minute or two, yet I was so delighted and stunned to come that close to such a beautiful creature. The little fellow took off after a suitable inspection, allowing me to savor that spectacular chance meeting as a divine and cherished gift.
The Audubon Bird Call
The Audubon Bird Call was invented in 1947 by Roger Eddy, an author and member of the Connecticut State Legislature. This small device, just a couple of inches in length, is made of cast zinc (or other metal) and birch wood, made in Rhode Island and available from many specialty shops in either red or natural wood color. You can twist the metal knob and mimic the sounds of a host of different species of birds, from chirping sounds to song-like tweets. The wooden chamber may be treated with a bit of rosin (usually supplied by the manufacturer) in order to keep it at its best sound-producing capability. If kept dry and away from moisture or humidity, the bird call should last indefinitely and provide many hours of bird-watching enjoyment.
Hummingbirds are fascinating creatures to watch, with estimates of anywhere between 60 to 200 times per second of the flapping of their delicate wings. They experience a fast breathing rate, fast heartbeat, and high body temperature, can fly up to 60 miles per hour, are capable of incredible gyrations & mid-air maneuvers, and can live 5 to 6 years in the wild. There are some 320 species extant, covering a wide swath of geographical territory, often migrating appreciable distances. Their colors are fabulous in richness and vibrant in texture, shining in a spectacular manner, especially in the deserts of Arizona, a location noted for brilliant sunshine year round.
40 miles east of Phoenix stands this remarkable sanctuary, nestled within the Sonoran Desert, featuring many trails which lead into the Superstition Wilderness and the Tonto National Forest. You can hike Siphon Draw Trail to the top of the Flatiron, an elevation of 4,800 feet, a height which affords a monumental view of the Valley below. At that elevation, Phoenix looks like a city made of toy blocks perhaps one quarter inch high along the distant horizon, and Mesa and Apache Junction fan out in dazzling array as far as the eye can see. Mule deer, coyote, javelina, jackrabbit, desert quail, and cactus wren populate the landscape here, with hiking trails and nature trails adding to the convenience of 72 campsites within the perimeter of the Park. The name "Superstition Wilderness" was apparently inspired by Pima Indian legends, and one may still find evidence of cliff dwellings and caves in this area. Salado or Hohokam Indians may have populated this landscape 100's of years ago, with Pimas, Apaches and Yavapais living here subsequently. In the 1800's this area became an Apache stronghold. In the 1840's the Peralta family of northern Mexico produced a gold mine here. In the 1870's Jacob Waltz and his partner Jacob Weiser apparently located the mine, but kept its location a well-guarded secret. After Waltz died in 1891, no one was ever able to find the exact location of "The Dutchman's" lost mine.

Caribbean Premier League moves to replace St Lucia franchise
The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Twenty20 cricket franchise has announced that the St Lucia Zouks will replace the St Lucia Stars franchise for the 2019 season following the termination of a participation agreement with the latter.
The Zouks will play matches in St Lucia and across the Caribbean during this year's competition, which runs from September 4 to October 12.
'Zouks' was the name given to the original St Lucia CPL franchise, which was founded in 2013. The Stars then replaced the Zouks in 2016.
The CPL did not disclose why it terminated its participation agreement with Royal Sports Club, which had operated the Stars. Royal Sports Club chief executive and owner Jay Pandya has hit out at the move and vowed to fight the decision.
Pandya told the ESPNcricinfo website: "CPL Limited has absolutely no basis, legal or otherwise, to terminate our contractual rights to operate St Lucia Stars. We vehemently dispute CPL's decision and will use all means necessary to vindicate our rights. This is an attempt to bully us, plain and simple. We are confident in our position and look forward to securing justice against CPL's blatantly illegal act in the appropriate court of law."
The Zouks' 2019 campaign begins against Guyana Amazon Warriors on September 5. The team will play 10 group games in total.

Q: Does the MLE estimator of the covariance of a multivariate Gaussian have a non-zero determinant? The MLE estimator of the covariance of a multivariate Gaussian is
$$
\mathbf{\Sigma} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N \left( (\mathbf{x}_n-\boldsymbol{\mu}) (\mathbf{x}_n-\boldsymbol{\mu})^\intercal \right).
$$
Can we prove that its determinant is non-zero?

A: Determinant of $\Sigma$ may be zero.
Let $k$ be the dimension of the space to which the sample vectors $x_n$ belong. If $N < k$ then $\Sigma$ is not full rank and therefore $\det \Sigma = 0$.
Moreover, even when $N \ge k$ it is still possible that $\det \Sigma = 0$. For a simple example, suppose that $k=2$ and that the sample vectors $x_n \in\mathbb{R}^2$ originate from the distribution $(X, X)$ where $X \sim \mathcal{N}(0, 1)$, i.e. the two components are perfectly correlated. In this case
$x_n = (a_n, a_n) = a_n (1, 1)^T$ for some real numbers $a_n$ for all $n=1,\dots,N$. Therefore,
$$
\det \Sigma = \det \left(\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N x_n x_n^T\right) = \det \left(\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N a_n^2 \begin{pmatrix}1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1\end{pmatrix} \right) = \det \begin{pmatrix}a & a \\ a & a\end{pmatrix} = 0
$$
where $a = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N a_n^2$.

On the other hand, note that the set
$$
\mathcal{X}_0 = \{(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_N)\,|\, \det \Sigma(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_N) = 0\}
$$
of $N$-tuples of samples $x_n$ for which $\det \Sigma = 0$ has dimension one less than the dimension of the set of all $N$-tuples of samples $x_n$. Therefore, if $N \ge k$ and $\det \Sigma' > 0$ where $\Sigma'$ denotes the covariance matrix of the underlying distribution, then the set $\mathcal{X}_0$ has measure zero and consequently $\det \Sigma > 0$ with probability $1$.

Remark about practical applications: Note that in a practical application one would probably not care about strict equality $\det \Sigma = 0$, but about whether $\Sigma$ is nearly singular (in fact one may care about a stronger condition that $\Sigma$ is well-conditioned).
By the multi-dimensional variant of the Central Limit Theorem as $N\to \infty$, the sample covariance $\Sigma$ converges to $\Sigma'$. Therefore, if the eigenvalues of $\Sigma'$ are large then for large $N$ it becomes increasingly unlikely that $\det \Sigma$ is near zero.
On the other hand, if $\Sigma'$ does have small eigenvalues then one can use Principal Component Analysis to identify a subspace $V$ on which the eigenvalues of the restriction $\Sigma'|_V$ are large and therefore $\det \Sigma|_V > 0$ with high probability.

Lower bounds: There are lower bounds on the eigenvalues of $\Sigma$. For example, for isotropic distributions, i.e. ones with $\Sigma' = \alpha I$ lower bounds on the smallest eigenvalue of $\Sigma$ are derived in this paper.

The marvelous «Chaika», which translates as seagull (whose shape can be recognized on the front of the car), was frequently used for military parades, as an official car for Soviet leaders and a number of these cars were ordered by KGB authorities.
My dear client from USA, Raul Cruz-Alvarez, at the Tsar Cannon covered by snow during a tour of Moscow Kremlin in winter season.


Woohoo, date night! This is something I adore about our time in Rome. Back in DC, we didn't go out a ton without the kids. First, it was tough to find people. Even once we found people, when I was working at the law firm, I just didn't want to leave Henry. It wasn't that I didn't trust people. It wasn't that I felt guilty. I just really felt like I needed to grab all the time I could with him. Even though intellectually I knew we got good quality time together and an evening out would be no problem, I just didn't want to go.
Fast forward to Rome, now I have oodles of time with the adorable weirdos and I have no qualms about some time away. We've also "discovered" the practice of having the sitter come when the kids are already in bed. This way we get our evening family time, I can feed Mac, and a sitter isn't trying to juggle the bedtime routine, one of the more complicated aspects of our day. It works great in Italy when things don't open until later anyway. We'll probably change it up when the kids are a little older, trying for more day outings and handing over the reins on bedtime. But for now, it's just easy.
We now have a weekly sitter. In practice, it doesn't work out every week because of our schedule or her schedule or illness or life, but most weeks we get to hit the town. Which is awesome because I want to try everything.
I took to the internets for some date night inspiration and stumbled across Rome's 6 Must-Eat Dishes. A closed list that I can methodically pick off? Yes, please. We've been to Armando al Pantheon but neglected to try the saltimbocca. Oops, I guess we'll be back. But for this adventure, we headed across the river to Cacio e Pepe.
For our purposes this evening, Cacio e Pepe is both a restaurant and a dish.
This pasta dish couldn't be simpler: pecorino Romano cheese and fresh black pepper are swirled with cooking water from the pasta to make it creamy (and then, obviously, swirled with the pasta — cooked al dente, of course — itself). But the fewer ingredients and steps to a dish, the more important it is that they're all perfect, right? And no place does it more perfectly than Rome, where the dish originated.
Try cacio e pepe at (big surprise!) Cacio e Pepe, which has managed to remain a surprisingly hidden gem, given its easy location in Prati and its local reputation for solid Roman classics.
So pepper on pasta . . . As Henry would say, "that's weird." Right? But don't knock it until you try it. The three ingredients in the dish pack a creamy, spicy punch. Here's a little more on how the dish came to be.
And the the cacio e pepe at Cacio e Pepe is LEGIT. I hearted this restaurant. They have a tiny interior with full view of the tiny kitchen, complete with bubbling cauldrons of pasta on the stove, and a bathroom up stairs that look like they lead to a hay loft. The real action is outside in the spacious patio area out front. Thankfully, for our February trip, it is covered and equipped with heaters.
This is a place where they don't hand you a menu; you just order one of the three house pastas, five if you count two specials that evening. This is a place where you just order some vino della casa and enjoy your carafe out of tumblers. This is a place where they have secondi, but coming for those would just be silly. Checked tablecloths? Check. It was great.
I opted for cacio e pepe, for obvious reasons. Somebody had to do it. James got the carbonara. Picture similar but less pepper, add bacon and egg.
Just look at this pasta. It was a heaping bowl of delicious. I've had cacio e pepe at other restaurants, but this is my fave so far. I think other places didn't add enough pepper. Or cheese. Not an issue here.
The heaters were my only knock on the place. They kept me plenty warm, but the pasta cooled off fast. This meant my first few bites were pure heaven, and the rest was just really good. I don't think James and I said anything the whole meal as we wolfed our pasta down in a race against the temps.
I'm certainly not knocking the price! I think this was our cheapest date night yet. With water, a half liter of wine, bread charge, and two pasta dishes, our total was 23 euro. Not too shabby.
UPDATE: Anthony Bourdain says cacio e pepe is the number one thing you should eat in Rome. He also recommends Cacio e Pepe.

There are many ways to do this but by far the simpler is using simple CSS and HTML.
Try using:
HTML:

 hello this is a link,
        but it doesn't look like one unless you hover your mouse on it

CSS:
 .hoverL{
            text-decoration: none; /* Eliminates the decoration (the underline)*/
            color: inherit; /* inherits the text color from it's parent */
    }

.hoverL:hover{
            text-decoration: underline; /* underline it again */
            color: blue; /* and give it again it's original color */
    }

Here you can see a working jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/G6Lb6/
hope this is what you needed :)

A: Please don't use  it's deprecated and was declined by HTML 4.01
You can just link "Here" inside a span:

The X-Chem drug discovery engine is based on a library generated by iterative combinatorial synthesis of small molecules tethered to DNA tags that record the synthetic history of the small molecule.
Every small molecule in the library has a unique DNA barcode attached it. The library is screened as a mixture using affinity-based binding to a target of interest. Certain rare molecules in the library that bind to the target can be "fished out," while the rest of the molecules wash away. DNA sequencing methods are then used to detect molecules that are enriched when bound to the target. The diverse nature of the library produces multiple families or clusters of related molecules that bind to the target, forming a basis for emergent structure-activity relationships. Structure-activity relationships are typically used by medicinal chemists to guide iterative chemical maturation of a molecule into a drug. Based on the synthetic history encoded in the DNA sequence information, molecules are then made without the DNA tag attached, and tested for activity in conventional assays.
A superior approach to library construction; allows for additional chemical reactions to become useable in DNA-encoded library synthesis.
Together, these developments result in a much greater repertoire of diversity for small molecules, which cover a range of categories including fragment molecules, small molecular weight heterocyclic compounds, and macrocyclic structures. This diverse library, combined with a heightened ability to detect active molecules, has yielded a robust process that has been highly successful, including against targets categorized as difficult or intractable, such as protein:protein interaction (PPI), ubiquitin ligase, epigenetic and antibacterial targets.

}

Now all the messages defined within .validate() will be used instead.  Notice how I replaced the rule's value with an automatic placeholder {0}.

Q: two screen layer: reconection via ssh my question is how to best manage two layers of "screen" sessions:
In my institute we have a compute cluster for numerical simulation. To login on that cluster one has to go via a load balancer who distributes the users to 4 control nodes (from where they then can start jobs on the actual cluster and do post-processing) because the login process is a little complex (3 passwords ad a user interaction) I would like to keep one session open, which I can also resume from home. This implies running screen on my workstation. On the other hand I would like to have multiple screens on the control node using only one ssh connection, so I have to run screen also on the node. But if I do that I can only control the first screen (by "crtl+a" and "space" for example).
What would be the best solution to this using only one ssh connection?
Thanks for your help!

A: On your workstation, you can change the escape character to something other than ctrl+a, maybe ctrl-b. To do this, add this line to your .screenrc file:
escape ^Bb

This way you can reconnect to the screen session on your workstation and use ctrl-a as the escape character to send command to the screen session running on your control node while using ctrl-b for the session on your workstation.

A: You asked two questions:

*

*multiple screens

In addition to changing the escape character as mentioned by others, you could look at tmux, which is very much like screen, only better.  Biggest bonus is that you can have multiple clients connected simultaneously, so you can leave the one on your workstation up while you connect from home too.

*

*only one ssh connection

given that you want both control from your workstation and have to log in to the cluster, I don't see how that is possible.
