The Sooke Fall Female Faceoff tournament was a great success. They had 342 players participate, and 47 volunteers.
The Sooke Fall Female Faceoff tournament was a great success. They had 342 players participate, and the work of running the tournament was done by 47 volunteers. The skills competition was well attended, with 312 spectators watching. The Prestige was fully booked, the local restaurants were really busy. There was also an opportunity at SEAPARC to send a note to the Canadian athletes going to Sochi's winter Olympics, and 525 people took advantage of this opportunity to send notes. All in all, it was a great success that received raving reviews from participating teams.

Q: SwiftUI: align HStack in VStack relative center of a HStack's subview? So I have this view:
struct AlignmentTest: View {

    @State var op:Double = 1

    var body: some View {

        VStack {

            HStack {
                Circle()
                    .fill(.green)
                    .opacity(op)
                    .frame(width: 50, height: 50)

                Rectangle()
                    .fill(.red)
                    .frame(width:150, height: 50)
            }

        }
    }

}

It draws this:

Given one of the comments I making this edit:
Question:
How can I get the red rectangle to be centered (Horizontally) in the VStack and have the green circle to stick to the left edge of the red rectangle?
Is there to do it without hardcoding numbers? Maybe with alignment guides?

A: *

*In order to get the circle to stick to the rectangle's edge, explicitly declare a spacing of 0 on the HStack.

*Since you wanted no hard-coded numbers, I used PreferenceKeys to transmit the width values up to the parent.
Note that I'm not using offset because that can affect user interaction of child elements (since the system believes they're placed differently).
(I added the background and border to easily visually see the centering -- these could obviously be removed)

struct ContentView: View {

    @State var op:Double = 1
    @State private var rectangleWidth : CGFloat = 0
    @State private var circleWidth : CGFloat = 0

    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            HStack(spacing: 0) {
                Color.black
                Color.white
            }
            VStack {
                HStack(spacing: 0) {
                    Circle()
                        .fill(.green)
                        .opacity(op)
                        .frame(width: 50, height: 50)
                        .background(GeometryReader {
                            Color.clear.preference(key: CircleWidthPreferenceKey.self,
                                                   value: $0.frame(in: .local).size.width)
                        })

                    Rectangle()
                        .fill(.red)
                        .frame(width:150, height: 50)
                        .background(GeometryReader {

                        })
                }
                .onPreferenceChange(RectangleWidthPreferenceKey.self) { pref in
                    self.rectangleWidth = pref
                 }
                .onPreferenceChange(CircleWidthPreferenceKey.self) { pref in
                    self.circleWidth = pref
                 }
                .border(Color.blue)
                .alignmentGuide(HorizontalAlignment.center) { d in
                    circleWidth + rectangleWidth / 2
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct CircleWidthPreferenceKey : PreferenceKey {
    static var defaultValue: CGFloat { 0 }
    static func reduce(value: inout Value, nextValue: () -> Value) {
        value = nextValue()
    }
}

struct RectangleWidthPreferenceKey : PreferenceKey {
    static var defaultValue: CGFloat { 0 }
    static func reduce(value: inout Value, nextValue: () -> Value) {
        value = nextValue()
    }
}

A: Here is a way for you:
struct AlignmentTest: View {

    @State var op:Double = 1

    private let rectangleSize: CGSize = CGSize(width: 150.0, height: 50.0)
    private let circleSize: CGSize = CGSize(width: 50.0, height: 50.0)
    private let padding: CGFloat = 10.0

    var body: some View {

        VStack {

            HStack {

                Rectangle()
                    .fill(Color.red)
                    .frame(width: rectangleSize.width, height: rectangleSize.height)
                    .overlay(

                        Circle()
                            .fill(Color.green)
                            .opacity(op)
                            .frame(width: circleSize.width, height: circleSize.height)
                            .offset(x: -(rectangleSize.width + circleSize.width)/2.0 - padding)

                    )
            }

        }
    }

}

result:

A: Guess you could put something the same width as the circle to the right of the rectangle:
VStack {
    HStack {
        Circle()
            .fill(.green)
            .opacity(op)
            .frame(width: 50, height: 50)
        Rectangle()
            .fill(.red)
            .frame(width:150, height: 50)
        Rectangle()
            .frame(width: 50, height: 0)

    }
}

Lucy Flower Technical High School for Girls (Flower Tech) is significant under criteria A as the only all-girl public school and the only female vocational school in Chicago's history.3 Flower Tech was the only high school in Chicago run by a female superintendent, principal, and all-female faculty that catered to an entirely female student body. By combining home economics with technical training for the female workforce, the curriculum at Flower Tech exposed the paradox of women's high school education in 20th century America by offering gendered coursework for work in the home and the factory. As Chicago's only open-enrollment high school for girls, Flower Tech created an unparalleled education experience for African American, Anglo- American, and immigrant female students to study alongside one another. Flower Tech not only furthered career and college ambitions, but provided many students one of their only racially-integrated experiences in an otherwise segregated city. Flower Tech is also significant under criteria C as an excellent example of Gothic Revival school architecture that retains its integrity of material, design, and craftsmanship. Flower Tech's period of significance begins in 1927 when the school was constructed and ends in 1965 when the school's enrollment declined and curriculum was altered.

Only one episode of The Simpsons won't be available to stream on Disney+
It's from the golden age of The Simpsons.
Disney+ has shaken up the game when it comes to online streaming. It hasn't launched in Ireland yet, but when it does it will be home to all Star Wars content, all Marvel content, classic Disney animations, Pixar films and, of course, The Simpsons.
However, after its launch this week in the US, it became clear that the first episode of Season 3 - Stark Raving Dad - is missing from the archive.
Simpsons fans will remember this episode as the one where Homer is committed to a mental institution and befriends a large white man who believes that he is Michael Jackson (voiced by Jackson himself). The episode concludes with "Jackson" and Bart writing a birthday song for Lisa.
In the wake of Leaving Neverland, a documentary in which two men detailed alleged sexual abuses that pop-star Jackson committed against them when they were children, the episode was pulled from syndication, and will no longer be broadcast on TV.
It now seems that the same policy has been followed with regards to streaming.
Hank Azaria will no longer voice Apu on The Simpsons
Show-runner Al Jean explained the initial decision by saying: "What saddens me is, if you watch that documentary—which I did, and several of us here did—and you watch that episode, honestly, it looks like the episode was used by Michael Jackson for something other than what we'd intended it.
"It wasn't just a comedy to him, it was something that was used as a tool. And I strongly believe that. That, to me, is my belief, and it's why I think removing it is appropriate."
All other episodes, from Seasons 1 to 30, are available on the new service.

The Hollow crown: New adaptations of Shakespeare's tetralogy of history plays comprising the 'Henriad' for the BBC's 2012 Cultural Olympiad: King Richard; II King Henry IV, Part 1; King Henry IV, Part 2 and King Henry V. The plays chronicle a continuous period in British history from the end of the 14th century to the aftermath of the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Together, the plays comprise a story with recurring themes of power struggles, redemption, family conflict and betrayal -- IMDB
Pt 1. Prince Hal (Tom Hiddleston) defies his father, King Henry IV (Jeremy Irons) by spending his time at Mistress Quickly's (Julie Walters) tavern in the company of the dissolute Falstaff (Simon Russell Beale) and his companions. The King is threatened by a rebellion led by Hal's rival, Hotspur (Joe Armstrong), his father Northumberland (Alun Armstrong), and his uncle Worcester (David Hayman). During the Battle of Shrewsbury Hal faces Hotspur in mortal combat
Pt 2. Northumberland (Alun Armstrong) is told of the death of his son Hotspur in service of the King (Jeremy Irons). The Lord Chief Justice (Geoffrey Palmer) attempts to separate Falstaff (Simon Russell Beale) from the Prince Hal (Tom Hoddleston). The rebels continue to plot against the crown but their forces are outwitted. This brings comfort to the dying King, who is finally reconciled with his son. Falstaff rushes to Hal's coronation with the expectation of high office
"The newly crowned King of England, Henry V, (Tom Hiddleston) is persuaded by his courtiers including Exeter (Anton Lesser) and York (Paterson Joseph), that he also has a rightful claim to lands in France. The chorus (John Hurt) tells of England's preparations for war and Henry's army sails for France. After Exeter's diplomacy is rebuffed by the French King (Lambert Wilson) Henry lays siege to and captures the town of Harfleur. The French now take Henry's claims seriously and challenge the English army to battle at Agincourt"-- Container

Crude oil's plunge has continued unchecked thanks to firm supplies and weak demand. Since last summer's peak, black gold has plunged about 60% to current prices around $45 per barrel. It goes without saying that oil stocks have moved in a similar fashion. The broad sector proxy — the Energy SPDR (XLE) — is off by about a third over the past 52 weeks. That drop in price obviously would appeal to those looking for long-term value stocks to buy, but another group of investors should be licking their lips: income hunters. Many oil stocks — including a number of high-quality names — are increasingly attractive from a dividend perspective thanks to those price drops.
The XLE itself sports a 30-day SEC yield of 3.2%, and that's after having yielded in the 1.5% to 1.8% range within the past couple of years. That yield certainly beats the pants off 10-year Treasuries and puts oil stocks on par with many more traditional high-yielding sectors that don't have the same potential for rebound gains. Today, we'll look at a number of beaten-down oil stocks to buy for their suddenly much more appealing dividends: Exxon Mobil (XOM), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Murphy Oil (MUR), Kinder Morgan (KMI) and Apache (APA).


The official, who asked not to be named, said the Movement for Democratic Change no longer had confidence in the negotiations mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki.
"As such, we have lost confidence in this process. They can go ahead and Mugabe can form his government, we will not be a part of that circus," the official said.
"He (Mbeki) is trying to rush us into a deal. The unfortunate thing is that Mbeki is trying to help Mugabe achieve his ends, not to solve the crisis."
State media reported on Thursday Mugabe is ready to go ahead and form a cabinet if opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai does not sign a power-sharing deal on Thursday.
The MDC said any attempts by Mugabe to pressure it into an agreement would fail.
"Where on earth have you seen dialogue held on the basis of threats and ultimatum? They want to bully us into an agreement, but that's completely unacceptable," MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters.
Zimbabwean state media have described talks on Thursday as the last chance for Tsvangirai to agree to a deal to end post-election political deadlock that has worsened Zimbabwe's economic decline.
But analysts believe neither side has any option but to agree a deal eventually.
So far talks have been blocked over how executive power should be shared. Tsvangirai has rejected a proposal he says gives Mugabe control of Zimbabwe's powerful security forces.
Mugabe, in power since 1980, said he would form a government with or without Tsvangirai because Zimbabwe could not afford to have a situation where "we will not have a cabinet forever", the state-run Herald newspaper reported.
"If after tomorrow (Thursday) Tsvangirai does not want to sign we will certainly put together a cabinet. We feel frozen at the moment," Mugabe told reporters in Lusaka on Wednesday after attending the funeral of Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa.
Tsvangirai beat Mugabe in a March 29 election but fell short of enough votes to avoid a June run-off vote, which was won by Mugabe unopposed after Tsvangirai pulled out citing violence and intimidation against his supporters.
The election was condemned around the world and drew toughened sanctions from Western countries whose support is vital for reviving Zimbabwe's ruined economy.

There are a number of sources for the disassembly of the mount other than my pages. The Yahoo EQ6 Group is an excellent source of information on operation, repair and modification.
The mating surfaces of the two castings (DEC Housing & Housing cover) have some hand brushed paint on them. I am going to clean this off to help improve the fit and alignment of the assembly. Note the black goo they use for grease on the worm shaft. The best description I can come up with is a 50/50 mixture of India Ink and Blackstrap Molasses, it will get on everything and is hard to remove!
Some of the paint is measurably thick at 0.002" or greater!
I added a pot to help dim the polar scope illuminator some. You need to use a micro pot in order to have it fit between the panel and the circuit board.
Lower DEC bearing is a taper roller type bearing. Note a near total lack of lubrication, just enough to keep it from squeaking!
I pried out one of the dust shields and found once again nearly no lubricant.
Lower bearing race. Note how some of the over paint was scraped off and was found under the bearing race when it was removed.
Aluminum from the casting was also dragged under the race.
All the pieces of the upper DEC shaft housing and shaft.
Detail shot of the DEC worm components.
A very thin screwdriver with a 1/8" wide blade is inserted nearly vertically between the inner race and the seal.
It is then tipped down to carefully pry up the seal. As this is a low speed bearing the sealing qualities are not adversely affected by this removal process.
Note near total lack of grease in the bearings. Just enough to keep them from rusting or squeaking?
The worm wheel and bearing parts, just re-grease and re-use.
I will lube the axis bearings with the Finish Line Synthetic grease. This grease is more than adequate for temperatures down into the 20's and 30's F. A lighter grease will be recommended for cold weather use. I have tested frozen the mount to -6F and found it runs fine.
** the RS bearings have the rubber covered metal seal plates, the Z bearings have a metal shield.

Frank Is Like a Cat With More Than Nine Lives on 'Shameless' — but Has He Finally Run Out? (SPOILERS)
By Chrissy Bobic
Apr. 5 2021, Updated 7:14 p.m. ET
Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 11 of Shameless.
Frank Gallagher has lived through more than 10 seasons of Shameless as a drug-addicted miscreant who had no desire to ever turn his life around. He embarked on countless schemes that brought any last ounce of his morals into question, and he has continued to be a thorn in his children's sides. With Season 11 as the final season overall, does Frank still make it out alive?
You could argue that Frank was already meant to die when he had liver disease or countless other physical ailments. Somehow, though, he stayed alive. In that regard, you might expect him to be able to stick it out and live to see the end of the series. But right now, with the end in sight, his future could go either way.
Does Frank die in the final season of 'Shameless'?
Frank has seemed essentially indestructible on Shameless. He has had multiple diseases and injuries over the seasons to the point where he has been incapacitated more than once. If nothing killed him before, it's hard to imagine what would finally do him in. But it seems we might have finally found an answer to that question.
In Season 11 of Shameless, a new disease has taken hold of Frank. After suffering from memory lapses, he was diagnosed with early-stage alcoholic dementia. Since the initial diagnosis, his health has only declined. In the 10th episode of the season, Frank opts to get a "do not resuscitate" tattoo across his chest, seemingly trying to take the burden of making that decision off of his children.
At the time, fans were left unsure if Frank was just planning for the future or if he was about to make a major choice. In the following episode, we're left to discover that he was indeed making a decision. Frank is losing control of his bodily functions and can no longer drink alcohol. In the final moments of the episode, fans see Frank shoot up multiple times. His eyes drift closed after writing a letter to the Gallagher family.
Frank's last genuine smile was him reading the letter he wrote to his family 😭😭😭 #Shameless pic.twitter.com/RkrlvEju6F

It sadly certainly seems that Frank is dead. But is he? William H. Macy, who plays Frank, is credited for every episode of Season 11, including the finale. But it could be that it's just his body in a coffin that we will be seeing, or we might be treated to some flashbacks in the final episode. It's been a heavy season, so hopefully, any flashbacks will be to happier times.
Another hint that Frank is dead comes from the title and synopsis of the last episode, "Father Frank, Full of Grace." According to the official synopsis, "Ian and Mickey shop for furniture. Kev and V seek buyers for the Alibi. Lip settles for a new job. Carl finds his calling on the force. Debbie plunges into a dangerous world when she meets someone. Frank faces his mortality."
Frank "facing his mortality" seemingly clues audiences in that if Frank isn't quite dead by the end of Episode 11, he will be by the end of Episode 12. While the problematic patriarch's death would be a sad way to conclude the show, fans are hoping that it may mean a reunion for the rest of the Gallaghers.
Frank!!!! This has to set up Fiona coming back for the finale episode! #Shameless
— Daniel Figueroa (@DFigTheTruth) April 4, 2021
Will Fiona be in the 'Shameless' series finale?
Shameless fans were wondering about Jimmy / Steve since he left the show for good back in Season 5 and had been hoping he would return to whisk Fiona away. As it turned out, she whisked herself away and finally got to live her life on her own terms. But after she was gone for a while, Fiona became the character fans would love to see return, at least for the series finale.
Shameless showrunner John Wells told Entertainment Weekly that he would love for Fiona's actress, Emmy Rossum, to return for the final season. It hasn't been confirmed just yet, but if Frank dies, Fiona could make her return to the show at his funeral, bringing all of the Gallaghers together one final time.
Watch Shameless on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on Showtime.

It seemed like there was always too many things to buy and too little money to buy them. It was like a giant scale, take off the magazines and put on a pair of gloves, one looseleaf equals a jar of pickles, the taxi instead of the bus means no paper plates. Take something off, put something on, careful careful.
You'd think you would get used to it, that constant counting, but you never do and the piles all jumble and all you want to do is sleep.
It was cold that inky night, that bitter cold that cracks your words, but the walls were closing in so out we had to go.

NNPC allays fears about fuel price hike in February
Bassey Udo February 18, 2021
In spite of the rise in crude oil price in the international market, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday ruled out any increment in the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol in February, 2021.
The NNPC, through its spokesperson. Kennie Obateru, said the decision by the government not to increase the pump price of petrol was to allow the ongoing engagements with organized labour and other stakeholders to be concluded.
Following the hike in petroleum products price in September last year, the organized labour threatened to embark on a nationwide strike if government failed to reverse the decision and the hike in price of other essential public utilities like electricity.
Consequently, on September 28, 2020, the government and the the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) agreed to set up a technical committee to examine the root challenges in Nigeria's downstream petroleum sub sector and the electricity sector.
The Committee was also charged with the responsibility of developing an acceptable framework for resolving the problem in a manner that would not expose the ordinary Nigerians to any hardship.
Although the Committee has submitted its report to the government, a consensus is yet to be reached between the government and Labour on the way forward.
While awaiting the final decision on the Committee's report, Mr Obateru said the NNPC has urged petroleum products marketers not to engage in hoarding of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in order not to create artificial scarcity and unnecessary hardship for Nigerians.
Mr Obateru said the NNPC has sufficient stock of petroleum products to keep the nation well supplied for about 40 days.
The corporation called on relevant regulatory authorities to step up their monitoring responsibilities on the activities of marketers with a view to sanctioning those involved in products hoarding or arbitrary increase of pump price.
In March last year, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, had called for the full deregulation of nation's downstream sector of the petroleum industry to ensure the prices of petroleum products would be determined by prevailing market forces.

Q: What is the best way to make Add, Edit, Delete and List actions in one View I'm converting a huge web application from ASP.Net 3.5 to ASP.Net MVC3 and C# 4.0 using VS2010, about 90% of site pages has Add, Edit, Delete, And List actions. If I create one view for each action that means each page will converting to 4 view (4 physical files) but I don't like that but I can do it if I have to. :(
My question is Is there an elegant way to converting one ASP.Net page to one View contains all required action?

A: You can create one view to do this. Each user action will route to a respective controller action via a form post. Inside the controller action the model will be updated and then the controller action will redirect to the view.
Personally, I wouldn't have an issue converting one page to four views if it is meaningful to do so in terms of maintenance. If they are similar in structure, a lot of the repetition can be abstracted out into Layouts, Partials and other views.


New series of photographic studies of individual ships seen on the Thames.
GRANDE AFRICA, operated by Grimaldi Lines, is a vehicle and container ship frequently seen on the Thames. It carries cars and boxes from European ports to locations in Africa like Lagos and Tema.
The ship was built in 1998 and has a gross tonnage of 56642. She measures up at 214 metres long and has a breadth of just over 32 metres.
Grande Africa is seen in these photos today departing Tilbury on a lovely sunny morning. Next stop Antwerp!


The internal taper of a Rigguy Wire Stop fits over the middle strand of 1x7 EHS Strand Cable, with the six remaining strands surrounding it. This "large" size in particular fits 5/16" - 3/8" cable.
The more pressure that is applied, the deeper into the block the strand and taper are pulled. The block itself is made of 6061 AL, while the taper is made of 416 SS for strength of application and corrosion resistance. Although the wire stop is only 1-1/4" long, it holds close to 100 percent of the Breaking Strength of the strand itself.
The Wire Stop eliminates the need for the j-lags, eye bolts, hooks, thimbles, clips and Tree-Grip Dead-ends. It can be used in more applications because it is secured on the outside of the limb or trunk. Because of its small size and simplicity, it makes for a clean, clutter-free installation.


As U.S. federal workers set their alarms last night for the first time in over five weeks since the government shutdown, Trump already dampened their spirits. They may be going back to work today, but once the three-week government funding lapse passes, all bets are currently off.
Trump's pessimistic comments will do little to sooth the 800,000 federal workers affected by the shutdown. Many are already struggling to make ends meet as the Republicans and Democrats continue to lock horns over immigration.
Another government shutdown is] certainly an option.
So far, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history has achieved very little other than causing industries across the board to shudder to a halt and federal workers to miss mortgage payments.
As CCN reported, the shutdown appears to be orchestrated or even fake, with the "temporary" reopening a way of curtailing the damage to the economy without losing face.
However, if the shutdown is one of the biggest games in political history, it's a dangerous one to be sure.
While Nancy and Donald appear to enjoy playing their parts in the show, real people are failing to put food on the table.
And there doesn't appear to be anything purposeful about the temporary reopening.
After all, how is a task force comprised of 17 Republican and Democrat lawmakers going to whip up an acceptable deal on something that's been a thorn in the side of the United States for decades? And long before Trump ascended to power?
Moreover, Trump's position isn't as powerful as it was when he came into office. He lost the House majority in the November elections and is on the receiving end of criticism from within his ranks.
Some Republicans are displeased with the concession to temporarily reopen while negotiations continue. Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter even labeled him a "wimp" for reopening–to which Trump responded with a typical schoolboy joke.
I suppose we can be grateful that he didn't make a reference to hormones or PMS.
Trump picking up the torch on immigration has garnered so much public attention due to his strong rhetoric. In fact, President Obama deported more immigrants than any other U.S. president. Clinton also had his fair share of kicking undesirables out.
The issue of immigration isn't only one the Republicans take seriously.
It seems that the real problem here is the choice of language and extremely public approach to it all. After all, silently signing deportation papers in a back office is not the same as coming to power on the back of fiery rhetoric about building a wall.
Many Americans tired of factories closing down applauded Trump for his "make America great again" campaign. If that included a wall to keep the immigrants from stealing their jobs, so much the better.
And it had to be a wall.
In December, before the government shutdown started, Trump stated that he would not sign anything that didn't include at least $5.7 billion for a wall. He later tweeted on January 3 that there can be no security without the wall.
However, this speech is beginning to dismantle brick by brick.
Democrats residing underneath under the banner of freedom won't concede to funding anything as distasteful as a wall. But they will dig into the government coffers for a levy, bollard barriers, or replacement fencing.
as long as it can stop criminals, gangs, human trafficking, and drugs.
While his level of optimism over the temporary shutdown hovers around zero, the president could care less. Trump is apparently going to build a wall anyway, using "emergency funds" if needed.
Yesterday the 45th president of the United States reinforced that a wall was the only way to tackle crime.
If Trump declares a national state of emergency at the border he can use military construction funds to build the wall. However, this is a dangerous precedent that not even the Republicans want to see happen.
After all, what's to stop him–or any future president–from using the "state of emergency" Trump card to finance controversial projects at their whim?

Q: Why do the concepts of "zero divisor" and "unit" have so different names? I wonder why the concepts of zero divisor and unit have so different and unrelated names, even though their definitions are in perfect analogy:

$x$ is a zero divisor when there is a $y$ with $x\cdot y = 0$.
$x$ is a unit when there is a $y$ with $x\cdot y = 1$.

This means, "units" might be called "divisors of unity" but they aren't. Note that "divisor of unity" builds a conceptual bridge between other concepts:

$x$ is a divisor of zero.
$x$ is a divisor of unity ("unit").
$x$ is a root of unity.
$x$ is a root of zero ("nilpotent").
  [Thanks to user lisyarus for the hint!]

But since the mathematical community once decided to call divisors of unity "units", today everybody calls them units, but everybody knows that units actually are "divisors of unity" (they are only not named as such) - so there is not really a problem.
Except maybe for the beginners: From my own experience I can tell that for reading texts about ring theory it would have helped me if consequently "divisor of unity" would have been used instead of "unit".
My question is:

For which reasons did the mathematical community decide to call
  divisors of unity "units"?

I guess the term "unit" has been choosen because divisors of unity have a lot in common with unity itself:

*

*In $\mathbb{C}$ for example they have the same norm 1 as the unity.

*In integral domains (i.e. rings without zero divisors) one defines two elements to be associated when $a | b$ and $b | a$. Units are by definition exactly those elements that are associated with unity. But what about other kinds of rings?

*They are something like generalized unities. (So they would better be called "unitoids" but this sounds awkward, so one chose "unit"?)
What specifically do divisors of unity have in common with unity itself making them "unity-like"? And does this really justify to call them units instead of divisors of unity (what they actually are)?

A: The term "unit" meaning "the identity of the ring" undoubtedly comes from times when we thought about numbers as measuring things, and $1$ was the base unit with which other lengths were constructed. Personally I don't favor the use of "unit" to mean the multiplicative identity of a ring, since it is then confusingly also applied to invertible elements.
I would agree that an underlying connection of the two things you mentioned is divisbility.
Now, intimately related with the intuition for divisibility is factorization in $\mathbb Z$, and the idea that we shouldn't differentiate elements that generate the same ideal. For example, $(2)=(-2)$, and we don't care that $2\neq -2$ when it comes to divisibility.  That is the reason we have the notion of associates, which are, in integral domains, elements that generate the same principal ideal.
In particular, $(1)=(u)$ for any "unit"/"divisor of $1$" $u$. So the thing units have in common is that they all generate the same ideal as $1$.
So in summary, I would say that "units" and "the unit" were tied together as people developed and taught the theory of divisibility in integral domains like $\mathbb Z$, and in that context all units "behave the same as $1$."

A: A consequence of calling divisors of unity "units" is that the two definitions of prime number and irreducibles elements come in analogy.

$p \in \mathbb{N}$ is a prime number if

*

*$p$ is not zero or unity

*there are no $a,b$ both not being unity with $p = a\cdot b$

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a integral domain.

$p \in \mathcal{R}$ is a irreducible element if

*

*$p$ is not zero or a unit

*there are no $a,b$ both not being units with $p = a\cdot b$

Being able to make these definitions in analogy might have been one reason for calling divisors of unity "units".
For $\mathcal{R} = \mathbb{Z}$:

$p \in \mathbb{N}$ is a prime number if

*

*$p \neq 0,1$

*there are no $a,b \neq 0,1$ with $p = a\cdot b$
$p \in \mathbb{Z}$ is a irreducible number if

*

*$p \neq 0,\pm 1$

*there are no $a,b \neq 0,\pm 1$ with $p = a\cdot b$

Q: programatically disconnect or change monitor settings on mac so - I have a bunch of different machines that I switch between using a usb switcher, and have a bunch of things like mouse, keyboard, camera, other monitors etc hanging off the USB - but the computers are all directly plugged into the big main monitor in various different ways.
I've written stuff in swift and c# for the various machines that detects the usb disconnection and turns off the main screen, and that works great, so it automatically flips to whatever new machine I've moved to - but with my mac laptop I've decided I want to keep the laptop screen as like a second machine and keyboard.   The problem is - there's a hdmi connection to the big monitor - and I need the mac to stop sending hdmi, because the screen is now owned by someone else - so I suddenly want the mac limited to the laptop.
On windows it would be easy - you just disable the device, then re-enable it when the docking usb comes back - but I don't know how to do the same thing on the mac.  Even from the display settings ui, I can't seem to say "don't use this monitor" - I can say "mirror the laptop display" - which may be good enough, but even that I don't know how to do from code.
so the actual question:

*

*how do I programatically "remove" and then later "attach" a hdmi monitor
and set it as the main display

*if that's not possible, how do I
programatically switch a monitor between mirroring and not mirroring

Ideally in swift, but python is also viable.
At the moment I literally have to pull out the HDMI from the laptop and then plug it in each time... which is not ideal.


At the heart of the Padmavati controversy is a British intelligence officer by the name of James Tod on whose account commissioned by the East India Company rests the entire debate.
Hidden beneath the Padmavati controversy are two very serious problems not just for the Indian society but for civilizations of the world as a whole. First is the British construction of fraudulent Indian history which paves the way for the second problem – the loss of awareness of our place in space-time. Because we have not yet resolved these issues we're in a mess that we are in today.
The Padmavati controversy threw up many theories and got the entire Indian intelligentsia worked up. Not just the politicians, celebrities or activists it also got historians armed to the teeth into this fray. While there are some historians who have raised questions on the very existence of Padmavati there are other who believe the story but find themselves unable to reconcile it with the timelines of Alauddin Khilji. Finally we are at a situation where the historians are unable to collate all the conflicting information available and agree upon a coherent narrative. When the historians themselves are not able to provide a proper historical account what can we expect from the lay folks?
British spy James Tod who wrote the book which is at the heart of the Padmavati controversy.
At the heart of the Padmavati controversy is a British intelligence officer by the name of James Tod on whose account rests the entire debate. Being the latest foreigners to invade India, the British wanted a justification for their own arrival. Edward Gibbon published the first volume of his book The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in 1776, the year Britain lost 13 of its colonies in America. A central theme in Gibbon's work was his quest for historical linkages between Pax Britannica – the period of British-dominated world order – and Pax Romana.
He provided the foundational stone for a theory that sought to legitimize British colonial enterprise and the British conquest of India. By the early 19th century, a new generation of British intelligence officers became scholars of India's pasts. They imagined themselves as latter-day Alexander the Greats, amassing accounts of geographies, peoples and objects that connected India to the Greeks, and by extension to the Romans, of the past. Alexander Burnes, James Tod, Richard F Burton and Edward B Eastwick were most prominent among them.
So employed by the East India Company, James Tod wrote the Annals and Antiquities of Rajas'han as part of the British imperial project of excavation of India's pasts. This published work serves as a very specific marker for the entire controversy as well as for the tinkering of Indian history. Once exported to the capital of British India, Calcutta it was infused into the Bengali narratives and has since been cited by a section of historians even today, inspite of the fact that the work has since been thoroughly proved to be fraudulent.
In his book Serving Empire, Serving Nation: James Tod and the Rajputs of Rajasthan, Jason Freitag his major biographer himself has shed light on James Tod dubious interpretations with insufficient evidence to prove his point and how he is now considered to be unreliable. Another work that exposes James Tod's deliberate tinkering with Indian history is The Many Lives of a Rajput Queen: Heroic Pasts in India C. 1500-1900 by Ramya Sreenivasan. In her work Ramya demonstrates how James Tod was not just a part of the colonial project for the construction of Rajput identity but how a section of the Indian nationalist movement also was influenced by it.
Even today Tod is revered by those whose ancestors he documented in good light. In 1997, the Maharana Mewar Charitable Foundation instituted an award named after this British intelligence officer employed by the East India Company, James Tod to be given to modern non-Indian writers who "exemplified Tod's understanding of the area and its people". In Mewar Province, a village has been named Todgarh after him and it has even been claimed that Tod was in fact a Rajput as an outcome of the process of karma and rebirth.
Eulogizing British scholars or military strategists comes naturally to present Indian leaders and should not come as a surprise. Even today the infatuation with the British is not lost on the nationalist leadership who even for inspiration on India's foreign policy matters look up to colonial strategists like Lord Palmerston and Henry Kissinger; Palmerston – whose doctrine is responsible for all the dreadful wars in Central Asia and the eventual fragmentation of India and Kissinger – who during the 1971 war instigated the Chinese from the North and was ready to trisect India with the American Seventh Fleet from the East and the Royal Navy from the West.
This very strategy to cut-off India geographically from the rest of the world was the very reason why the East India Company employed British intelligence officers like James Tod to embark on a Hollywood style production of Indian history. Tod's initial mission was to survey the mountainous regions of Mewar, Kota, Sirohi, Bundi and later Marwar and Jaisalmer. These areas were considered a strategic buffer zone by the British against the Russo-Indian advances from the north via the Khyber Pass.
For years various Indian Kingdoms have had alliances with the Russians, French and Germans to kick the British out of India and bring down the British Empire. These fears of a combined Indo-Russian, Indo-French or Indo-German force launching an attack from the northern border while simultaneously engineering a revolt within the country haunted the British military hawks until they left India with buffer zones on the western, northern and eastern fronts.
British intelligence officer Alexander Burnes in disguise in Bokhara.
James Tod's work was aimed at diffusing this threat of a collective uprising from within by driving a wedge between the Rajputana and Mughal Kings and by extension the various Hindu denominations and Muslims. At the same time this Divide and Rule strategy was at play elsewhere in the Empire as well. Just as James Tod was projected as the savior of the Rajputana pride in India, another British intelligence officer Alexander Burnes was dispatched to Afghanistan from India via Kabul to Bokhara disguised as a Muslim to create a rift between Afghans and Russians. When the Afghans discovered Burnes true identity tipped off by the Russians, he was hacked to death with his head on a spike in the local bazaar. James Tod however got lucky.
It was because of such meddling with the Indian history that historian were unable to agree upon a specific narrative owing to the mismatch in historical timelines and sources in the Padmavati story. Historical timelines if not corrected give rise to the loss of awareness of our place in space-time. An example of this problem has been highlighted in my review of the movie The Lost City of Z and explained in depth in our book India in Cognitive Dissonance.
The Lost City of Z is a movie about the real life story of a British Intelligence officer Percy Fawcett who like James Tod was a surveyor for the Royal Geographical Society. In 1906 Fawcett is called to London to meet with officials of the Royal Geographical Society to be sent on a very important mission to Bolivia where he stumbles upon a civilization much older and sophisticated than their own at a place they believed to be inhabited by barbarians and savages.
What Fawcett had discovered was of great importance. Even he might not have grasped the full implications of such a discovery. However Fawcett did understood that they were just scratching the surface of something big. He even recommended the officials at RGS that map-making should be of secondary interest and that they should pursue the archeological findings that he had discovered in the jungle where no white man had ever been before. The officials at RGS were horrified at this suggestion and advised him to keep his findings to himself.
The problem faced by Fawcett then still haunts the Anthropologists and Historians of India today and the recent Padmavati controversy is just one such example. Like Fawcett when Anthropologists move into the forests of India or the ancient sites for field work they are exposed to information from their findings that they are unable to reconcile working in the system setup by the British created Church dictated worldview. At the root of this is the loss of awareness of space-time and of our location in it caused by the imposition of fraudulent time-and-space.
In order to maintain its dominance and existence the Church in alliance with the British retrofitted the entire time-line of the "Indian" civilization to 2-3000 B.C. That is why when an Anthropologist makes an archeological discovery in the forests of India and finds it to be some 50,000 year old he is confronted with this globally accepted narrative of the Indian civilization being some 3000 to 5000 years old only. The only way left for him is to tweak his findings and go along with the official narrative or challenge it and be discarded from the anthropological community of scholars dominated by the British.
This tinkering with the timeline was done by re-writing the history of India within a new biblical construct of time. The question that no one has asked or rather understood to even ask is: Why does the question of Padmavati being real or fictional arise in the first place? And yet there are numerous native texts that exist that indicate otherwise. What we have here is a mismatch in timeline courtesy of the British pundits. So why haven't any Mutts of today worth the name challenged this Biblical timeframe in which Indian history is retrofitted? Can these Mutts even today come-up with a timeframe independent of this construct? Why haven't self-proclaimed nationalists done so yet?
Is our Indian civilization only some 3000 to 5000 odd years old as prescribed by the Church? What about the dating of Mahabharat and Ramayana? If not why haven't any religious leader from India challenged this timeline? Why are we still following the Roman Catholic Church's Gregorian calendar? What does it mean when our own current Indian Prime Minister who himself comes from the traditional camp in his recent visit to Russia proclaimed with pride along the British created biblical lines that the Vedas and our Indian knowledge base itself is some 2000 years old?
Padmavati controversy is just one such example. There are numerous such time-bombs set in history waiting to explode. The way to resolve this issue is to develop a system of measuring time and space independent of the biblical construct to determine the actual flow of history. This would be a cumbersome project that would require state resources and collaboration of other nations and great diplomatic insight. A solid and concrete step to take in this direction would be for Indian Physics departments to follow up the course on advanced Classical Hamiltonian Mechanics, where students learn the basics of astronomical planetary orbital calculations with a course on calculation of the Calendar. This should not be too difficult to do at all given that it is already being done!

It's much more natural that they would go with the centre-right party. During this election, almost all of Sweden's major political parties-including the Social Democrats and the Moderates-agreed that Sweden should massively reduce migrant arrivals until a Europewide immigration and refugee policy could be reached.
The influence of the far right is being increasingly noticed in Sweden as security and immigration top the agenda.
Today, the Sweden Democrats tries to disrupt the status quo and destroy the party duopoly between the Moderates and the Social Democrats.
Today's governing Social Democratic Party, in power throughout World War Two, openly cooperated with Nazi Germany, supplying Hitler with the iron ore he needed to build Germany's tanks and guns.
Around 7.5 million Swedes were eligible to cast a ballot in the vote, with final results expected to be announced before midnight (22:00 GMT).
According to an exit poll released by SVT when voting ended, the Social Democrats-led centre-left bloc and the centre-right bloc, headed by the Moderates, won about 40 percent of the vote each.
The party, which has worked to moderate its image in past years and wants the country to leave the European Union, gained votes amid a backlash against the challenges of integrating hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived in the Scandinavian nation over the past years.
The Sweden Democrats have been championing closed borders for years and want to severely restrict immigration and integration. "We don't know who will form the next government, we will probably not know tomorrow, next week or next month", Wolodarski told Al Jazeera.
Sweden saw itself as a "humanitarian superpower" for years, but a rise in gang violence in areas of high unemployment has won support for the Sweden Democrats.
"The Alliance will not govern or discuss how to form a government with the Sweden Democrats".
Meanwhile, Finance Minister and National Coalition Party leader Petteri Orpo tweeted that Sweden's election results seem to follow the current trend in Europe of party landscapes becoming increasingly fragmented.
Akesson was jubilant as he addressed supporters a day later, declaring the estimated 14 parliament seats the Social Democrats picked up a victory other parties could not ignore in coalition negotiations. The only possible way to form a successful governing coalition, therefore, would be for the parties to secure support from their ideological opponents.
As Nicholas Aylott and Niklas Bolin explained in their preview of the election for EUROPP, there have traditionally been two main blocs in Swedish politics (a left bloc and a right bloc).
That is if other parties let them - as things stand now, the Sweden Democrats won't have any actual power. Instead, it told a more subtle but increasingly familiar tale now seen across a variety of European parliamentary systems and perhaps further afield, too - that of increasing political fragmentation and the slow decline of dominant political parties. Some critics say that these situations also compel mainstream parties to pander toward the fringes - a criticism that certainly has emerged about Rutte.
Djokovic noted that it was an "awkward situation" for both competitors and "tough" for the umpire. United States great Billie Jean King addressed both issues, also seeing things Williams's way.

Most personnel have been evacuated from the U.S. embassy in Havana, leaving only a skeleton crew.

Sonic attack or mass paranoia? New evidence stokes debate over diplomats' mysterious illness
By Richard Stone Jun. 20, 2018 , 2:05 PM
The mystery began late in 2016. Personnel attached to the U.S. embassy in Havana developed symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and insomnia after hearing strange loud sounds or feeling a sensation of pressure. Since then, dozens of diplomats have been withdrawn from Cuba, and international tensions have risen. This month, the mystery spread, with reports from the U.S. Department of State that "a number" of diplomats at its consulate in Guangzhou, China, had been flown home with symptoms similar to those reported in Cuba—where two more diplomats have reportedly fallen ill. Yet 18 months in, an explanation is nowhere in sight, although hypotheses have proliferated.
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson blamed a deliberate "health attack" for the Cuba ailments, whereas some neuroscientists and psychologists—and a panel of Cuban scientists—have written them off as the result of stress. Some unaffected diplomats from the Havana embassy agree. "There was a perfect storm of suggestion and paranoia," one told Science , speaking on condition of anonymity.
But a few researchers are finding hints of a physical cause. In February, a team at the University of Pennsylvania described neurological deficits in embassy personnel who had reported symptoms. And in unpublished results, Michael Hoffer, an otolaryngologist at the University of Miami in Florida, and his colleagues describe a unique vestibular and cognitive disorder in two dozen people evacuated from the Havana embassy. They believe some kind of directed energy device may have caused inner-ear damage.
Taking both teams' observations together, "It seems like something's going on," says Lee Goldstein of Boston University, who studies neurodegenerative diseases. But, he adds, "We're still very much in the early days of trying to figure this out."
Sounds and fury
A mystery illness among U.S. diplomats in Cuba and China has raised international tensions and sparked debate about possible causes.
2017 2018 Late 2016Three U.S. intelligence agents in Havana fall ill. February 2017Physician Michael Hoffer of the University of Miami in Florida is asked to examine diplomatic personnel; he later finds inner-ear damage. March 2017Then–U.S. Ambassador to Cuba Jeffrey DeLaurentis holds classified briefing on the possibility that U.S. personnel are being targeted by a long-range acoustic device mounted on a vehicle. April 2017The U.S. embassy in Havana alerts all members of its diplomatic corps and advises people to sleep in the middleof a room, away from windows. August 2017Then–Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declares that U.S. diplomats in Havana are victims of "health attacks." September 2017The U.S. Department of State evacu-ates family members and nonemer-gency personnel from its embassy in Havana and orders Cuba to drastically pare down staff at its embassy in Washington, D.C. December 2017 A panel of Cuban scientists concludes that the most likely explanation for the diplomats' symptoms is psychological stress. January 2018Federal Bureau of Investigation reports finding no evidence for power- ful sound beams as an explanation for the diplomats' symptoms. February 2018A University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) team reports evidence of neurological symptoms in the U.S. embassy personnel. June 2018 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announces creation of an interagency task force on mystery illness.The State Department reveals that "a number" of diplomats with symptoms at its consulate in Guangzhou, China, have been flown back to the United States for testing.Two more U.S. diplomats in Havana with symptoms are sent to UPenn.The president of the Cuban Academy of Sciences floats the idea of a joint probe of mystery illness with the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
V. ALTOUNIAN/SCIENCE
The first to fall ill was a U.S. intelligence agent in Havana. The "index case," as Hoffer calls him, complained to the embassy doctor of ear pain, tinnitus, vertigo, and feeling "cognitively not perfect." The agent said he had heard "a really odd, loud noise that seemed to follow him in the room," says Hoffer, who examined him in February. "When he opened the front door, the sound went away." Other U.S. personnel reported similar symptoms.
At the end of March 2017, recalls the U.S. diplomat who spoke with Science , then-Ambassador Jeffrey DeLaurentis summoned personnel with security clearances—about 30 in all—for a classified briefing in a special installation in the embassy: a steel conex box suspended on pylons that's shielded from surveillance. The "working hypothesis," the diplomat says, was the victims were being targeted by a long-range acoustic device. Embassy security officers advised their colleagues to record harassing sounds and report any symptoms. In April 2017, the embassy clued in all members of its diplomatic corps and advised people to sleep in the middle of a room, away from windows.
"Everybody was in a frenzy about it," says a second U.S. diplomat who was stationed in Havana at the time with young children. "We had a big window in the front of the house. It was a horrible feeling. We just thought, 'Oh my God, we're in harm's way,'" she says. "You start to feel paranoid."
Hoffer, a former military doctor who had treated concussion victims in Iraq, was enlisted to assess the ailing diplomats. His team had been working on better tests for concussion in athletes, together with University of Miami neurophysiologist Bonnie Levin, otolaryngologist Carey Balaban of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, and engineers at Neuro Kinetics, Inc., also in Pittsburgh. In one test, the patient wears goggles that project a moving field of light points while a camera observes eye movements. In healthy subjects, the eyes reflexively track the lights. People with a head injury are often unable to focus on them at all. The goggles can also perform other eye movement tests sensitive to concussions.
Hoffer and colleagues tested several dozen Havana embassy personnel who had been flown to Miami. About half flunked a critical eye movement test, and more than two dozen reported dizziness or vertigo. In those individuals, Balaban says, further tests implicated damage to the ear's otolith organs, the utricle and the saccule, key to sensing gravity. "That's prima facie evidence the diplomats are not making this up," Hoffer says.
"I agree with that," Goldstein says, but he is skeptical of speculation about what might be causing the injuries. Balaban and his colleagues venture that a directed energy source could have damaged the exquisitely sensitive utricle and saccule. Maintaining balance became so taxing, they say, that victims reported concussionlike symptoms, finding it hard to think and concentrate. Hoffer acknowledges, however, that some patients may have had preexisting injuries. One had been stationed in Afghanistan and may have been exposed to a blast there. (His team's findings are under review at a medical journal, he says.)
In January, after an investigation that included fieldwork in Havana, the Federal Bureau of Investigation found no evidence for an attack with powerful energy beams. But the Department of Defense is giving the possibility a closer look. U.S. Navy acoustic expert Kurt Yankaskas, who runs the noise-induced hearing loss program at the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Virginia, thinks an energy weapon is a possibility, although "it would have to have been tight-beamed and high frequency." One candidate, he says, is so-called hypersonic sound, generated by the interference of ultrasonic waves, which the Navy has evaluated as a means of communicating on deafening aircraft carrier decks.
Whatever the symptoms' cause, only a minority of embassy staff were stricken. The Department of State dispatched Hoffer and University of Miami physical therapist James Buskirk to Havana in April 2017 to perform tests on several dozen of the remaining personnel. "A lot of people at the embassy wanted reassurance they weren't affected," Buskirk says. None had experienced symptoms, and they all scored normally on the tests.
Other researchers and physicians maintain that mass psychogenic illness could explain some, if not all, of the symptoms. A panel of Cuban scientists that evaluated U.S. evidence and gathered its own data concluded in December 2017 that U.S. recordings of a grating, supposedly unnatural sound match the chirping of the Jamaican field cricket, a notoriously noisy insect that's common in Cuba. People's state of mind determined whether they developed symptoms, the first diplomat asserts. "I don't know anybody who at one point thought we were under no risk and then subsequently decided that they were a victim."
He himself heard a mysterious sound one night last June. "Standing in the atrium of my house, it was so loud and metallic, my brain literally hurt," he says. He called the embassy security officer, who came over and recorded the sound. But his housekeeper knew right away it was a Jamaican field cricket. "She grew up on a farm. She's like, 'Oh yeah, they drive people crazy.'"
The second diplomat echoes that experience. The sound, she says, "was eerie. A really nasty sound. Not like your head is going to explode, but it's very unpleasant." Then she and her family heard it on several more occasions outdoors. "That was reassuring. We realized it had to be the crickets."
She acknowledges that over time, a divide widened between "the true believers" and those like her who are skeptical that there was an attack. At the same time, she says, she's open-minded to plausible explanations for the mystery illness.
Both U.S. and Cuban authorities are struggling to provide them. On 5 June, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the creation of a task force that will lead an interagency probe. And earlier this month, the president of the Cuban Academy of Sciences (ACC) in Havana, neurophysiologist Luis Velázquez Pérez, proposed that ACC and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, D.C., team up to try to solve the mystery. (A spokesperson for NAS could not comment on whether it will respond.) John Van Horn, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, hopes the research will go forward. "Opened and reasoned scientific scrutiny of these cases" is needed, he says, "to reach a more precise conclusion than that some evil boogeyman has developed a supersecret sound gun and is using it specifically against foreign diplomats."
"I have every incentive to know the truth," the second diplomat says. "It's in our best interest to know if there's something that could damage us or our kids."

In any conflict that involves violence, casualties are expected on the battlefield. While not all deaths are preventable, there are some techniques which, when properly applied, can prolong a person's vitality until adequate care is available.
The training went into detail about three of the leading causes of preventable death in combat.
Kulacz said the main focus during the training was concentrated on battlefield preventable deaths, which include hemorrhaging from extremities, keeping a victim's airway open, and treating tension pneumothorax— a build-up of air in the chest cavity due to a collapsed lung that can lead to traumatic arrest.
Being able to treat such injuries not only enhances the capabilities of the country's defense force, but also enhances the capabilities of its allies.
While being able to help an ally from a different nation is good for relationship building, the medical training did not come without some minor challenges.
"The language barrier was a problem, so we just had to learn to adapt our styles of communication to make it easier for them to understand," Kulacz said.
For example, during hypothermia treatment training, Kulacz started by saying all causalities are cold, and explained to always cover up them up because they will get cold, even in the desert.
Although there were some hurdles to overcome, the medics agreed that training a national ally has been beneficial for them, as well.
The training concluded with an exercise where the students were able to demonstrate their skills learned in the training. After the event, Kulacz expressed her confidence in the newly-trained soldiers' abilities to possibly save lives on the battlefield.

Quote by Alan K. Simpson
Topics: Else, Integrity, Matters, Nothing, You By Alan K. Simpson
You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.
I don't have a good work ethic. I have a real casual relationship with hours.
Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating.
I think Australian food is probably some of the best in the world.
The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend

My goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That'd be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags.
The fact that the church is convinced of not having the right to confer priestly ordination on women is now considered by some as irreconcilable with the European Constitution.
There is no problem this universe can hand you that you aren't innately designed to solve. If it has been handed to you, it can be handled by you. This is the brilliant effectiveness of our design.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.
It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.
M*A*S*H offered real characters and everybody identified with them because they had such soul. The humor was intelligent and it always assumed that you had an intellect.
I soon found that wit, like every other power, has its boundaries; that its success depends upon the aptitude of others to receive impressions; and that as some bodies, indissoluble by heat, can set the furnace and crucible at defiance, there are min

We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.
When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.
The Cause of Women is generally the Cause of Virtue.
I've wanted to perform my entire life. I found a paper I wrote in kindergarten class about what I wanted to be when I grew up - and I wrote 'a famous singer!'
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.
It has been wisely observed by the greatest of modern thinkers that mankind has progressed more rapidly in every other respect than in morality.
No one can figure out your worth but you.
Figure, You, Your
The trap had a ghastly perfection

You're the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.
friendship, love, Weakness
I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Moon, Nights, Silent
Religion is interesting because it brings out the best and the worst in humanity. It can be a source of good deeds, whether it's people from different spiritual backgrounds coming together to help other people in need after a crisis. But it's also a cause for war and bloodshed.
There can be no high civility without a deep morality
Civilization, Morality
People say that God created mankind after his image. This means that man created God after his image.
Man, People
Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.
When I was 14, I felt very rundown I had a home to go to, but I felt like I was 60 or something, older than I feel now. And I don't know if it's something that happens at 14, or whether it was adolescence or whether I was gay, or closeted gay, or whatever it was, I felt that.
Ser optimista o pesimista es cuestion de temperamento, no de razones.
Glory, intelligence
I believe in incentivizing people. If you can incentivize people in anything, whether it's in politics in life in spirituality in business just take care of folks. Incentivize them and all of a sudden it's amazing the difference that you'll see.
Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes.
If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam
So fantasy was fine early on, and when I discovered science fiction, I was very happy with it, because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy.
Deep in the man sits fast his fate To mould his fortunes, mean or great.
Fate, Fortune, Man
Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny, 'cause I think there's a lot of things that are really funny that don't make you laugh, that don't make you physically, audibly make a noise, but is something that is much more powerful than that.
Economic prosperity and quality education for our children are inexorably linked.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.
The art of life is to live in the present moment, and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.
