Case Study – Going the Extra Mile in OT Protection – From Ambition to Hard Work
The threat landscape for critical infrastructure in the utility sector has worsened this year with ransom attacks happening in OT and COVID-19 creating confusion and obstacles in daily operations. The case study presented is about a large utility company which started three years ago implementing consequently OT Monitoring and Vulnerability Management in its substations and generation facilities. After protecting its hydro and nuclear facilities they started to tackle more complex areas such as assessing and protecting its Smart Metering IIOT infrastructure, Wind and District Heating. Our client was the first utility company in Switzerland who went beyond standard OT monitoring towards far more complex facilities inside OT such as IIOT. Participants will get an introduction about their challenges and achievements during these activities.

The Bryan Anglers
The Bryan Anglers' Trophy Case
Written by Brady Turner, staff writer
DAYTON, TN – The Bryan College fishing team, called The Bryan Anglers, was started in the 2014-15 school year. Over their short seven years of existing, the team has had great success. They have won three national championships and have been named Cabala's school of the year in 2017.
When explaining how talented the team is, Michael Keen, the head fishing coach at Bryan said, "When we take the water in a bass master tournament, they cut off the limit at 250 boats. That is 500 guys on the water. When you can finish in the top 10 that's pretty good."
The Bryan Anglers, as of right now, have six boats in the MLF (Major League Fishing) National Championship and two boats in the Bassmaster National Championship.
To get to these National Championships, a boat has to finish in top so many to qualify for that trail's National Championship. Then they must fish in that National Championship against all other anglers of that lake.
There are no divisions in college fishing. Bryan College is up against all teams in the country whether it be Division 1 big named schools or other small colleges just like Bryan.
Keen shared a story about the team going to Clemson's lake to compete. He was told, "You know you guys are fishing for second place? Clemson has this one in the bag."
Keen said he replied with, "Well that's nice to know."
Keen shared the results of that tournament saying, "Not only did we win, but we beat Clemson by 3 or 4 pounds."
As mentioned earlier, there are no divisions on the water, which makes The Bryan Angler's 9th in the country ranking even more amazing.
Keen says, "The folks in the fishing community have a lot of respect for Bryan College."

Wall Street is no great fan of supply-side economics. That view may be one of the reasons behind the excitement in the stock market Tuesday.
Investors love the efforts by the Reagan administration to cut federal spending. But many in the financial community are worried by the 10 percent per year cut in income taxes for three years pushed by President Reagan. They doubt it will stimulate output as much as imagined by the supply-side theorists in the government.
So, they figure, if the Reagan proposals had gone through Congress untouched, it would enlarge the federal deficit, worsen Wall Street's burden of financing national debt, and possibly add to inflation.
Comments Sam I. Nakagama, Kidder, Peabody & Co.'s top economist: "Although the Reagan administration was aiming for a 100-day 'blitzkrieg' victory on the budget-policy front, such a triumph is moving rapidly out of reach. This is probably not a bad thing for the country nor for President Reagan himself."
He continues: "As our favorite saying from George Bernard Shaw has it, 'the only thing worse than not getting what you want is to get it.' And if President Reagan were able to get what he says he wants, the results might be very unhealthy for the Republicans by 1982."
Mr. Nakagama argues that complete success for President Reagan's program would so discomfit the American people that the electorate would punish the Republicans by sweeping the Democrats back to office in 1982 and 1984.
Whatever, one encouragement for the stock market in recent days has been signs that the administration will not get all it wants in the way of tax reduction. Jay N. Woodworth, chief economist at Bankers Trust Company and a former Treasury economist, suspects that any tax cuts will not be effective until Oct. 1 at the earliest, and possibly not until Jan. 1, 1982. Moreover, he thinks Congress will not be so generous as Mr. Reagan would like. A one-shot tax cut similar to those drafted by the Senate Finance Committee last year of about $40 billion -- half on personal income taxes and half on the business side -- is more likely to emerge from the legislature, he figures.
"The heyday of the supply-siders on Capitol Hill has faded a bit," he says.
However, the President may have a surprisingly high batting average on its tax-cut proposals, Mr. Woodworth predicts.
Wall Street has not been happy about the increasing indications that the federal budget deficit will be larger than originally thought. Mr. Woodworth speaks of $70 billion to $75 billion in fiscal 1981 and doubts that the administration will reach its target for reducing the deficit in fiscal 1982 starting next October.
What people like Mr. Woodworth would prefer is the policy advocated by the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Paul A. Volcker. He suggests that tax cuts follow and depend on the size of spending reductions. Mr. Volcker told the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this month: "The amount of tax reduction that can be prudently undertaken is dependent on cutting back the inexorable rise in federal spending, on and off budget. The larger the spending cuts, the greater the prospects for reducing the strains in financial markets and for turning back inflation. . . ."
He continued: "Even the specific cuts proposed by the administration, large as they are, are only a kind of progress payment toward what needs to be done to bring the budget into balance in reasonably prosperous economic conditions."
Mr. Volcker's enthusiasm for tax cuts, like that of Wall Street, was much more restrained. This is "puritan economics" -- a demand for a firm monetary policy and better balance in the federal budget.
Monetarist economists support wholeheartedly the need for restraint in creating new money. One group of such economists, the Shadow Open Market Committee, last week held that the monetary policies urged by the Reagan administration might bring inflation down to a 3 percent annual rate by 1985 if the Federal Reserve System adheres to such a firm monetary strategy.
These monetarist economists get less excited about fiscal policy. However, they do believe better balance in the budget might reduce inflationary expectations and thus help bring down the rise in wages and prices and thus inflation.
Kidder, Peabody's Mr. Nakagama, who is not the Reagan administration's favorite economist, sees another problem in the proposed tax cuts. He says "it is simply not conceivable that this country can simultaneously afford a massive rearmament program and a massive tax-cut program for individuals, particularly at a time when the inflation rate is in the double-digit range."
He points out that the tax cuts won by President Kennedy in the mid-1960s were made possible by the fact that defense spending fell from 9.2 percent of gross national product in the first quarter of 1962 to 7.1 percent in the first three quarters of 1965. By the first quarter of 1967, the defense share had risen to 8.9 percent of GNP -- an increase of 1.8 percentage points.
If President Reagan has his way on arms, defense spending will rise even faster. It has already climbed from 4.8 percent of GNP in the fourth quarter of 1979 to 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 1980. Mr. Nakagama estimates it could climb to about 7 percent of GNP by the fourth quarter of 1984. That, he figures, could be as inflationary as the Vietnam escalation.
He concludes: "Against this background, a 27 percent individual tax cut seems like a pretty wild idea. It's not only a question of guns and butter but meat on the table and gas in the car."
As this idea sinks in, Congress may well moderate the President's rearmament program as well as his tax proposals.

Q: Como utilizar las funciones c++ Buenas me podrían ayudar a comprobar porque no puedo retornar la función o que esta mal en el código ya que soy nuevo en la programación y no se como aplicar las funciones
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

float areatri (float base, float altura);
int main()
{
float ba, al;
cout << "Ingrese la base del triangulo: ";
cin >> ba;
cout << "Ingrese la altura del triangulo: ";

getch();
return 0;
}

float areatri (float base, float altura)
{
    float area;
    area= (ba*al)/2;
    return area;
}

A: En tu función areatri no existe ninguna variable ba o al. Tienes dos parámetros llamados base y altura.
Probablemente quieras decir:
float areatri (float base, float altura)
{
    float area;
    area = (base * altura)/2;
    return area;
}

Para llamar la función debes escribir su nombre y entre paréntesis indicar el literal o la variable cuyo valor recibirá cada parámetro.
Por ejemplo:
areatri(1, 2);
// El parámetro base será 1 y altura 2

O como intuyo que quieres hacerlo en tu código:
areatri(ba, al);
// El parámetro base será el valor de ba
// y altura será el valor de al

The New Oxford Annotated Bible
Posted on August 20, 2018 by leslie
Arch of Titus, spoils of the Roman plunder of Jerusalem
5thedition, Oxford University Press, fully revised and expanded, NRSV with Apocrypha. Pp. xxiii, 2416, ISBN: 978-0190276096. $95.00., reviewed by Darrell Sutton
When Early Modern English was becoming the vernacular speech, Edward VI (1537-1553) removed restrictions on the printing of the Bible. Mary Tudor (1516-1568) later reversed these changes. Once again, the Crown looked favorably on Catholicism. So Reformers went into exile, during which time a Church of England was formed in Geneva. There, the "Marian Exiles" agreed to undertake a new rendition of the scriptures. The Geneva Bible of 1560 was the fruit of their extensive labors. It was unique, seeing that it contained not only a new translation, but also over 300,000 annotations to the text. The exiles' popular interpretations of the English text and alternate renderings of Hebrew and Greek terms opened the minds of citizens whose thoughts had been inured to established beliefs. Since that time, new interpretative ideas and arguments have been received; closed-mindedness has gone out of fashion.
From its inception in 1962, The Oxford Annotated Bible provided students of scripture with non-traditional insights into the contours of the development of the canon. The transformation of the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB) is now complete. Originally edited by Herbert May and Bruce Metzger, cutting edge scholarship on the text and context of scripture was popularized. May was a distinguished Old Testament specialist; Metzger was a recognized doyen of New Testament textual criticism. May and Metzger found various facets of select biblical books dubious and legendary. They were broad-minded; but they still maintained sympathies toward the salvific work of Christ outlined in the New Testament. Scholarship advanced in profound ways through their researches. But in light of some of the notes now accepted in the Bible under review, both May and Metzger could be considered somewhat conformist.
Containing sixteen Apocryphal/Deutero-canonical books, the NOAB 5th ed. is advertised as "An Ecumenical Study Bible". Edited by Michael D. Coogan, along with associate editors Marc Z. Brettler, Carol A. Newsom and Pheme Perkins, the ripest fruit of biblical investigations is presented. More than 50 respected scholars were involved in the elucidation of the books. Several of them also supplied scholarship for The Jewish Study Bible (2004). The NRSV text remains essentially the same except for the inclusion of information from United Bible Societies Greek New Testament, 4thed. (see Textual Criticism, p.2246); notes at the bottom of the page have been revised. New interpretative essays were commissioned.
The Editor's Preface (p.xiii) states:
The editors recognize that no single interpretation or approach is sufficient for informed reading of these ancient texts, and have aimed at inclusivity of interpretive strategies.
Yet academics who hold Low Church views or Evangelical positions are absent from the list of contributors on page v. Consequently the editor and associate Editors do not appear to have achieved the inclusivity for which they aimed. The volume is thick at c.2400 pages. Each contributing editor to individual books was free to pursue his or her own lines of inquiry. This liberty takes them in different directions. And their independence of thought is refreshing. The historical critical method is the main tool employed in the analyses of texts; the use of typology as an implement for demonstrating that Jesus Christ was the realization of ancient Jewish longing, and the messianic fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, is regularly overlooked; but typology is mentioned in the essay 'Christian Interpretation in the Premodern Era' (p.2267).
Evidence for literary allusion is strained at times: e.g., competent Hellenists may doubt that Paul had Plato's Phaedra 245c-257d in mind when he wrote his defense of Jesus' resurrection in I Corinthians 15. And the editors are sensitive, indeed almost apologetic, about accounts in the New Testament that put Jewish parties in a negative light, but they are not so touchy about ancient Jewish warfare against the inhabitants of Canaan's districts.
Few should doubt the perspicuity of the editors. But after two centuries of critical studies, better grounds are needed for solving difficulties than the inclusion of the quip 'what so and so writes in the text of scripture is untrue.' As for commentators, the claims of naiveté that are leveled so readily at holders of conventional views today, seem to fit equally well those erudite persons whose scholarship has not proceeded beyond the "assured scientific results" of yesteryear's Teutonic studies. Parsons and laypersons today who disallow critical remarks into their spheres of interpretation, usually do so after consciously weighing those remarks against statements made by persons in the New Testament whose recorded speeches consist of allusions and quotations from the Old Testament, a body of documentary literature that was believed to have been properly conserved and passed down.
Biblical writers who cited wording from biblical texts composed in previous centuries believed that the MSS from which they quoted were trustworthy and reliable. It remains an inexplicable wonder that Jesus and other New Testament authors seem wholly unaware of the most rudimentary claims made by modern biblical critics, i.e., that Jewish ancient texts were incorrectly preserved, that their origins and compositional forms were attributed to the wrong writers, and that they were habitually misunderstood by successive generations of rabbis and readers.
Upon those unsuspecting convictions, customary views of Christians were based, from the literate circles of the early sects of Christendom up to Medieval and Renaissance times. Since the Enlightenment, induction in the fundamentals of "critical" scholarship of the Bible has produced academics that now may be rightly labeled 'traditionists'. The traditional texts and interpretations they revere are also numerous, being visible everywhere to close readers of this new study-bible. Below, a few of the NOAB editors' opinions are presented;
Genesis: note at 3:1-24: Of Adam and Eve – 'Though the story is often taken by Christians as an account of "original sin", the word "sin" never occurs in it. Instead, it is a sophisticated narrative describing how God's acts and their aftermath lead to the formation of fully adult, mortal humans to till the earth … .'
Exodus: note at 12:29-52: Of the flight from Egypt, 'like virtually every stop on the journey, they cannot be clearly identified and do not reflect accurate or actual memories. Six hundred thousand men is hyperbole … .'
Daniel: p.1249: 'According to ch 1, Daniel was taken to Babylon at the beginning of the Babylonian exile and was chosen to serve in the royal court. This setting, however, does not necessarily reflect the realities of the book's historical context and composition. Several major historical errors in ch 1 suggest that the author wrote long after the Babylonian conquest of Judah and very likely was not attempting to write a historical account at all, but rather a series of historical fictions set in that time period.'
Jonah: p.1320: 'Jonah is not a historical book in the sense of recalling events that actually occurred.'
The above quotations illustrate the low view of scripture by all of the editors. Their observations deserve to be read carefully because, as is apparent, thorough going "skepticism" is now the dominant mode of approach to the study of the Bible in universities and divinity departments in which they teach.
The editors supplied the NRSV with a superb apparatus. They did so as they kept nearby the source-texts in their original languages. All of the scholarly devices (footnotes and essays etc.) equip students with resources necessary to agree or disagree with specific annotations. Here and there the notes contain gems of historical details about the ancient near east.
In the main, the footnotes develop ideas on the crucifixion and resurrection in a clear-cut manner. Greek and Roman literature is cited in ways that are commensurate to the discussion; but every note on same-sex relations misleads readers, except the one at I Corinthians 6:1-11. Though I disagree with much that is written in various book introductions, each editor writes clearly and adeptly. The editors are well aware that there are elements of truth in the Apocryphal books. Dates and figures are discussed fairly in Kings and Chronicles. The "Dead Sea Scrolls" and Septuagint are used to explain several textual variations. The former of the two frequently is treated as if they were much more true to fact than the "canonical" texts to which some editors are appending notes.
The place in the road to which scholars have come is an intersection. A new course is needed. The road to here has been long. The old findings, although redressed in new questions, seem commonplace. Literary exposition is an ever-developing field of study. Invention and reinvention creates new ways of looking at texts, and refurbishes old models, renewing them for the next generation. There are examples – 19thcentury German scholarship forever altered the way academics dealt with cuneiform, Hieroglyph, Sanskrit, Greek and Latin literature and the Bible. Biblical scholars in the west, whose criticisms were founded on rationalist thought and not on any objective appreciation or treatment of supernaturalism, still have been unable to emancipate their researches from German cynicism. In these studies, miraculous occurrences are downplayed. Such investigations are carried out with clinical solemnity and do not inspire confidence in Christians, Jews or in some cases, Muslims.
So in NOAB, Genesis through Deuteronomy is still regarded as a patchwork of accounts, some true and some false, arranged in their present form by prejudiced editors. And Joshua is thought to contain reports of a conquest that are unquestionably erroneous (see p.322); in Judges, the literary redactor is said to have represented northern heroes in an apostate culture, but showed a positive bias toward the tribe of Judah in the southern Kingdom (p.359). The NOAB editor for Samuel doubts that it is 'a narrative of history' (p.405). Evidently 'Esther contains some folktale motifs' (p.715). Job is described as a 'naïve narrative' of a 'folktale world' (p.779). Isaiah wrote chapters 1-39, then an editor composed 2nd Isaiah, chapters 40-55 and later the redactor of 3rd Isaiah, chapters 56-66, came to collect the speeches of several unknown prophets (p.977). Moreover, Zachariah wrote chapters 1-8 of his scrolls, but someone else compiled 9-14 (p.1357).
As for how the New Testament should be understood, in the opening essay, which is entitled 'The Introduction to The Gospels', we encounter these words:
Scholars who reject biography as a description of the Gospels often overemphasize the ideological or legendary elements found in the narratives. They prefer to read the Gospels as etiological legends explaining the emergence of a new religion or as ideological representations of the Christology of particular early Christian communities. Such writings … operate like myths and symbols to support Christian beliefs and practices (p.1777).
Authorial inscriptions in the NOAB that are attached to several New Testament epistles are doubted. Nothing new exists in that regard. Aside from titular statements ascribed to the Church Fathers, no one can definitively show epistolary origins anyway. For some reason, however, the Pax Augusta assigned to the period of Augustus' rule (27BC-AD14) is routinely interpreted by biblical critics to have been a time of peace (see note at Luke 2:1-7). Untrue: keep in mind the Pannonian Revolt in 6-9AD. Oddly, John 21:1-25 is considered to be a later addition to the Gospel. How one could know if the chapter was written 1 year or 125 years afterward without any identifying markers in the text is anyone's guess.
This edition has its merits. A number of individual books deserve notice. Among them, the technicalities of Leviticus are handled well. And readers of the Psalms will not be left in the dark as obscure idioms of hymns are expounded. The notes to Proverbs are encyclopedic and constitute an excellent compendium of insights. Jeremiah and the Maccabees exemplify the results of superlative researches. The Commentaries to The Gospel of John, Hebrews and Revelation prove that a theology ensconced in metaphors can be agreeably managed.
This Bible will likely find an abundance of readers. Politically correct churches will urge it upon their parishioners. But it will not dissolve the doubts that people have about the verity of the religious beliefs of Jesus Christ. One hopes that serious students of the Bible will not presume that the published researches in the NOAB are representative of the views of mainstream scholars or of adherents to Judaism and Christianity around the world. Depending on how it is used privately, the volume is to be recommended for purchase, but it should be read with caution alongside study editions issued by Christian committees of other traditions.

David Ashton says:
What is needed is solid scholarship which takes into account diversity of interpretation, evidence-led and rationally argued, not fads, disputed assertions and weasel wording.

Iran's 2003 Nobel Laureate Says Prize Helped Her Everywhere But Home
AP: A year after her Nobel Peace Prize was announced in Oslo, human rights activist Shirin Ebadi said today that the honor
had helped her cause everywhere except at home in Iran.
"The Nobel Peace Prize has given me more international possibilities. It has opened a lot of doors," said the Iranian lawyer, writer and activist. "But the prize has not made my work any easier in Iran." Associated Press
Oslo - A year after her Nobel Peace Prize was announced in Oslo, human rights activist Shirin Ebadi said today that the honor had helped her cause everywhere except at home in Iran.
"The Nobel Peace Prize has given me more international possibilities. It has opened a lot of doors," said the Iranian lawyer, writer and activist. "But the prize has not made my work any easier in Iran."
Ebadi was in the Norwegian capital for a two-day conference called "Activists Under Attack," focusing on what delegates said was a growing threat to global human rights following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States.
"The situation for civil rights activists in Iran is not very good," Ebadi said before the conference, which is set to open Wednesday. "They don't have the necessary security to do their work."
Ebadi became Iran's first woman judge during the waning years of the Western-backed monarchy, but was forced to resign when an Islamic regime seized power in the 1979 revolution. Her law office then became a base for human rights militants.
She was the first Iranian and first Muslim woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, announced last year in Oslo. This year's prize, announced last week, went to Kenyan environmental activist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win.
Apart from pressure about its human rights policies, Iran is also in a dispute with the United States and other Western powers about claims that Tehran has a secret program to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says it only intends to use atomic power to generate electricity.
Ebadi, 57, kept her responses general when asked about Iran's nuclear program, saying only that "nobody needs atomic weapons. They should be destroyed."
She was joining activists from 15-20 countries for a conference on human rights, organized to mark the 10th anniversary of the Human Rights House, founded in Oslo and now operating in four countries.
"Human rights is in real peril, as never before since the Cold War," Bernt Hagtvet, a professor at the University of Oslo and a member of the Human Rights House board, said at the news conference.
"Nine-11 was a watershed," he said, referring to the 2001 attacks in the United States and adding that the war on terrorism is now often being used as an excuse to erode human rights.
American Gara LaMarche, of the Open Society Institute, agreed, saying that since 9-11, the United States has taken such controversial steps as the Patriot Act, the imprisonment of terror suspects without trial, and curtailed individual rights in the name of fighting terrorism.
"That is seized upon by dictators ... to justify restrictions on human rights," he said.
The conference, with about 130 participants, is to end Thursday with a joint statement.

Originally a request made three years ago by the Hintonburg Economic Development Committee (HEDC) and the Hintonburg Community Association (HCA) to rename the Square at 2 Spadina Ave. after the late Shawn Little, community groups and the Wellington West BIA recently decided "Somerset Square" is already too widely used as a place-finding and way-making name for Wellington Street West's commercial strip.
Wellington West BIA Executive Director, Zachary Dayler, says using the Square's space to symbolize Hintonburg's community achievements is a good idea.
Bayview Avenue resident, Cheryl Parrott, moved into the area over 35 years ago and the square was unnamed. In the 90s, Cheryl frequently picked up used drug syringes tossed into overgrown bushes. A few years ago, the bushes were trimmed to deter illicit crimes. She recalls how Shawn took Hintonburg's safety concerns seriously.
"Shawn represented us during difficult years and he was very helpful in making significant changes in the community," says Cheryl.
Councillor Jeff Leiper recognizes how some people may find it hard to overlook the fact that in life Shawn Little was a controversial figure. In 2001, he was charged under the Municipal Election Act after an audit showed $2600 overspending in his 2000 campaign. Charges were later stayed when it was found the City's prosecutor withheld evidence. Shawn was cleared of wrongdoing but he was left with a big debt from legal bills.
Twenty years ago, retired police officer, Jean Lamothe, was a street constable in Hintonburg and Mechanicsville, an area he remembers as "a war zone" for crime.
"Cheryl Parrott always backed [Shawn Little] up. Shawn was forthright in reaching goals and with his help we formed a partnership and cleaned up the area," says Jean, adding he did most of his arrests around the Square.
Business owners around the Square's vicinity remember Shawn Little's work in the community.
Greg Horner, owner of Yen's Bridal & Designs, recalls one summer Shawn sent him a letter saying how the flowers outside his shop made the area look nice.
"Shawn went to bat for the little guy. He rocked the boat when everyone else was saying 'yes sir, no sir, three bags full.' And he said what he said. He wanted things done. He put everything on the table. You don't see that in too many politicians anymore," says Greg.
Albert Saikaley, owner of Dirienzo & Saikaley Automotive, says Cheryl Parrott should be honoured for her work in the community.
"Shawn was a decent guy who cared about the community. But this area wouldn't be what it was without [Cheryl and husband Vance Fandry]," says Albert.
During his tenure as councillor, Shawn worked closely with HCA and police. Together they helped form a Landlord School to tackle concerns with several problem rental properties and drug issues that had plagued the community for almost 20 years. HEDC's first community event was held at Somerset Square. Both Shawn and Cheryl encouraged people to feel safe walking outside their homes and to enjoy the parks.
Known for his campaign slogan "Think Big Vote Little," Shawn represented Kitchissippi from 1997-2006. In 2003, he was seen as a weak incumbent and faced six challengers. He was re-elected, receiving a 27% plurality. He left politics in 2006 and ran unsuccessfully in Bay Ward in 2010. In 2012, he passed away at age 48 while vacationing in Cuba.
Calls to Shawn's mother and an email to his brother were not returned in time for publication.
* An earlier version of this article – which was also printed in the March 31 issue of KT – erroneously indicated that a plaque was already approved for installation. This is not the case.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Office, assisted by the Texas Rangers, is investigating the deaths of a married couple found deceased at their home.
The ACSO received a call from a family member at 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, who stated he found his mother and father deceased at their home, located in the 7600 block of FM 2419.
The son advised the ACSO he had been out of contact with his parents for about three weeks. His father had been ill for some time and his mother had not been to work for more than two weeks, according the ACSO report.
Both persons appeared to have been deceased for some time. Justice of the Peace Pct. 4 James Sharp ordered an autopsy for both, which was scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 19. The case is still under investigation.

Q: Display output from command line program realtime in asp.net I am writing a web app where the application runs a command on the system using System.Diagnostics class.
I wanted to display realtime output from a command which takes a lot of time to complete. After searching a bit, I found that BeginOutputReadLine can stream output to an event handler.
I am also using jquery ajax to call this method and have the process run asynchronously.
So far, I am trying to do it this way:
Process p2= new Process();
p2.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler(opHandler);
p2= Process.Start (psi2);
p2.BeginOutputReadLine();
I have declared a class with a static variable to store the output of the command as a Label on the page wont be accessible from a static method.
public class ProcessOutput
{
    public static string strOutput;

    [WebMethod]
    public static string getOutput()
    {
        return strOutput;
    }
}

In the event handler for BeginOutputReadLine, set the variable with the line from output.
private static void opHandler(object sendingProcess,DataReceivedEventArgs outLine)
    {
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(outLine.Data))
        {
            ProcessOutput.strOutput= outLine.Data;
        }
    }

and from the aspx page, I am calling the method to get the value of strOutput
    $(document).ready(function() {

setInterval(function() {
  $.ajax({
   type: "GET",
   url: "newscan.aspx/getOutput",
   data: "",
   success: function(msg){
     $('#txtAsyncOp').append(msg.d);
   }
 });
}, 1000);

});

I dont know why, but the lable is not getting updated. If I put alert, I get 'undefined' in the alert box every 10 seconds.
Can anybody suggest me how to do it correctly?

A: Each request begins a new thread as a part of the Request pipeline. This is by design. Each thread has its own stack and can't access each others stacks. When a thread starts running a new method it stores the arguments and local variables in that method on its own stack. Long story short you won't be able to assign that variable and expect to retrieve its value from another Request.
There are a couple approaches you can take, you can scope it to the session variable (most common) with:
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["variable"]  = value ;

Or you set it to application scope using:
if (System.Web.Caching.Cache["Key1"] == null)
      System.Web.Caching.Cache.Add("Key1", "Value 1", null, DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60), Cache.NoSlidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority.High, onRemove);

Alternatively, you can log the output to a database or file and echo out the results via the WebMethod. If your long running process is running asynchronously, you won't have access to the HttpContext -- so the Session state bag will not be available; the application Cache could be used, however it is generally not used for this type of mechanism (cache is available for performance reasons, not a persistence mechanism -- its important to remember that you cannot control when your web application recycles).
I'd highly suggest writing to a database or log file. Asynchronous processes commonly require logged output or trace to diagnose potential problems and to validate results.
Furthermore, because you cannot control when the web app recycles, you can easily lose control of that child process you're launching. A better design would start an asynchronous method in-process, or an out-of-process application or service that polls a database to pick up jobs (possibly use the task scheduler or cron depending on your platform).

 Станция (называвшаяся тогда Кортландт-стрит) была разрушена во время террористических актов 11 сентября 2001 года, а затем построена заново и открыта накануне их 17-летия, 8 сентября 2018 года.

Старая станция была открыта 1 июля 1918 года как часть сети Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), которая в то время доминировала как отдельное метро на территории Манхэттена от Таймс-сквер/42-й улицы до Саут-Ферри. Данный участок обслуживался челноком до полного завершения строительства линии и станций, которое произошло 1 июля 1918 года.

Станция находилась непосредственно под Всемирным торговым центром и, будучи станцией мелкого заложения, была разрушена во время терактов 11 сентября 2001 года. К сентябрю 2002 года повреждённые конструкции станции и расположенных ниже подвальных этажей Всемирного торгового центра были разобраны, на месте тоннеля был сооружён железобетонный короб, подпёртый сваями, и в нём проложены рельсы, по которым было восстановлено движение по линии. Строительство новой станции стало вестись без остановки поездов. На протяжении 17 лет станция обозначалась на схемах как временно закрытая. Столь долгий срок объясняется тем, что реконструкция станции стала одной из частей громадного проекта реконструкции Граунд-Зиро.

Вход на станцию с Визи-стрит располагался под лестницей, которая вела на площадь Остина Джозефа Тобина между зданиями ВТЦ. Когда здания рухнули, лестница продолжала стоять и вошла в историю как , поскольку по ней эвакуировались многие из переживших теракты. В июле 2008 года лестница была перемещена в Музей 11 сентября.

Новая станция построена в составе , спроектированного архитектором Сантьяго Калатравой. Первая очередь комплекса открылась 3 марта 2016 года и включила в себя станцию «Всемирный торговый центр» системы PATH (также сооружённую заново после терактов 11 сентября). В декабре 2016 года был открыт вход из него на станцию , а в декабре 2017 — на станцию .

Старая станция имела две боковых платформы, обслуживавшие два пути, и была оформлена мозаикой, заменённой в 70-х годах на бежевую плитку, имитирующую кирпичную кладку. Новая станция сохранила конфигурацию путей и платформ. Её стены украшает работа , изображающая как бы вытканные тексты Всеобщей декларации прав человека и Декларации независимости США. Поверх вытканных текстов на стенах расположено название станции, которое здесь выглядит как World Trade Center, а на колоннах, покрашенных в серый цвет и установленных только ближе к концам платформ, находятся стандартные чёрные таблички с названием WTC Cortlandt.

In the fight-or-flight process, even if we triumph over a threat, we come face-to-face with danger. The danger can be real or imagined. It can be very sudden or long-term. Regardless, in the moment of activation, we survive thanks to our innate and learned strengths, our support systems, and our comforts. If we're suffering with residual trauma, it might not feel like our strengths are strong enough—but they do exist. They are tools in the toolbox. They might be literal, figurative, emotional, mental, physical, physiological, or spiritual, and they are with us every day. Employed intentionally, these tools help us to structure both a trauma-release session and, with practice, a trauma-free life.
In BBTRS, we call these tools "resources," and we use the word "resource" as both a noun and a verb. Resourcing is calling into play anything or anyone that supports our well-being. Active or passive, internal or external, resources can be people, nature, pets, dance, music, art, a feeling, exercise, physical touch, a scent, a memory, and a million other things, ideas, or actions. Once we're adept at identifying what resources might be useful on a given day or in a given situation, they can come to our aid at a moment's notice in other situations. In Waking the Tiger, somatic expert Peter Levine writes, "the resources that enable a person to succeed in the face of a threat can be used for healing. This is true not just at the time of the experience, but even years after the event."i This means that resources can become lifelines. They can help us "just get through" a situation, and they can literally save our lives. Therefore, it's difficult to overstate the importance of understanding how to identify and utilize resources.
When we put our attention to the subject, resourcing can seem kind of obvious. And part of it is. Most of us resource all the time—we take a deep breath when we're frustrated; we take walks to clear our minds; we hug a friend or partner when we're sad. Our natural tendency to call upon resources is built in. However, the process of learning how to call upon these resources deftly, quickly, and easily is learned.
By taking an honest look at our lives, we can begin to assess what we have "on our side." If we instantly say, "if I only had ____, I could feel stronger," then we know the first place to bulk up. If our physical bodies are not healthy, or if we have physiological deficits that invite stress, then we can consider ways to either strengthen our bodies or work around our weaknesses. If we find our social network to be a little sparse, then we can consider ways to grow our human connections. If we feel "unable," or "incompetent," then we practice whatever skills need reinforcement. Just like anything else we've learned to do—a sport, a job, playing the piano—with attention, we get better.

PAX South (Texas) Day 1 Recap: Gigantic, PoxNora, and Cabal II
By Jaime Skelton (MissyS) and Andrew Skelton
The first day of a convention is always exciting, but the first day of a first time convention is even more so. Even though PAX has been going on strong for many years now, this is the first year for PAX South, held in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Though the day was blustery outside, the halls were packed with gamers, geeks, and fans eager to help the convention kick off. While we took the first day a little light to make connections and scout the floor, we did have the opportunity to sit with the representatives for Gigantic, Cabal II, and PoxNora.
While it may seem like the illegitimate love child of SMITE and Shadow of the Colossus, the best way to understand Gigantic is to see it in action. Motiga brought several staff members, and even special coaches selected from alpha testers flown in especially for the event. Since everyone on hand was familiar with the game, we then started the hands on experience, where the coaches gave us individual advice about most of the fourteen available characters, detailing their strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. Both teams faced off in the 5v5 format, and along the way, spent time learning about summoning creatures, holding strategic locations, and the best ways, times, and uses for pushing with your Ancient.
We picked up a ranged class and got great coaching before heading into battle, and adapted quickly to the gameplay. While we managed to die a few times by accident (who knew cliffs were so dangerous?) we were able to help pick off the opposing team's healers a few times. Even though our team was stacked against a more traditional build of tank, support, and stealth, we managed to win in an epic battle where the defending team guarded the weak area of its titan from attackers.
Even in an alpha stage, the game felt very polished and quite engaging. While quite easy to get into and play, there are levels of strategy that go far beyond most games in the genre. Motiga has definitely put the focus on teamwork here, and even the same character on the team can be completely different with the branching skill paths the characters all have. While not everything was available to test out in the limited time available, Gigantic is already shaping up to be highly anticipated and well worth waiting for
There's been a lot of anticipation for Cabal II, ESTSoft's follow up to its hit classic MMORPG. After our play session with the game we're seeing why so many of you are hyped. So far, we're pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
We sat down with the team and hopped in game as a Warrior, one of Cabal II's six classes. The Warrior straddles the line between damage and defense, and has a selection of damage, AoE, knockdown, and buff skills. The game's combat system is action-based, putting a heavy emphasis on the knowledge and use of skill combos. Some skills act as chain combos, where the same skill can be used multiple times to do an increasingly stronger amount of damage. Other skills are reactionary, such as our warrior's powerful damaging ability useable after an enemy had been knocked down. This makes every fight engaging, and we were told that knowing these combos are essential for success in later levels, especially dungeons.
In fact, we got our own taste of one of the dungeons in Cabal II, the Heavenly Citadel. This dungeon is a collection of platforms, each of which acts as a home to a different boss. Players destroy a pillar to summon a boss, which spawns a portal on its defeat. This portal will lead to a random boss each time, making every run of this dungeon random and unpredictable. These fights are intense, requiring each player to use their skills and combos efficiently. While combat is not as dodge-heavy as some MMOs (here's looking at you, Guild Wars 2), movement is still important and players are equipped with a dash skill on a short cooldown to aid them in slipping in and out of battle.
It's also important to note that while Cabal II has six classes, all six are key members of a party. Each class brings something different to the encounter, making a balanced group highly desirable. For instance, Force Archers are the only class capable of reducing the rage boost that bosses gain which makes them incrementally more difficult as a fight goes on. However, we're also reassured that groups won't simply want to take along four archers along with their tank and healer, as stacking one class too heavily causes the group to lose out on the valuable abilities that other classes bring. This should make all classes equally desirable, a problem that many group-based MMOs face.
Heavenly Dungeon is not the only end-game dungeon. There are also instance portals that spawn in the game's open areas. Some of these will teleport the player into a small mini-instance to do battle, while others will spawn the enemies in the open world when activated. We also briefly talked about crafting, being told that there is a crafting island where players can work their trades (primary plus a related gathering skill), somewhat similar to Star Wars: The Old Republic except that players will do their own work rather than hiring lackeys.
Though we were on a guided tour and saw only a tiny portion of the world plus Heavenly Citadel, we were very impressed by what we saw. The game is certainly polished and tested, and it's clear that the wait we've had while the team has worked on optimizing the game for the West is going to make this title very worth checking out when it hits beta.
For a game that's been around almost nine years, Pox Nora is still somewhat a black sheep amongst MMOs. As the CEO explained (and we happen to agree with), there's nothing else quite like it. The mix of strategy, CCG, and miniature collection is still hard to categorize. It's also strange to realize many of the innovations and designs in MMOs we see now, PoxNora has been doing since 2006, leading the way in tactical, free to play MMOs, card gaming, and even direct customer support and outreach.
Pox Nora released their latest expansion on January 20, and we got a chance to learn what it was all about. Foremost is the new tutorial system designed with new players in mind. Pox Nora is, by design, a difficult game, so adding a tutorial was a great step to aid people new to the game. New runes and abilities were also added, and as with every other expansion that has been released, everything available is useable with all other aspects of the game. The team believes strongly in their community as well, with all of them involved in answering questions, allaying concerns, and fostering a relationship that's increasingly important to players these days – and they've been doing this from the beginning.
Day two's event line-up for the team includes a mega Guild Wars 2 panel, Vainglory, and a visit with tinyBuild, but there will certainly be many surprises in store. Stay tuned for more news straight from the heart of Texas!

Every day we moisterise our skin but most of us do not think that our eye s needs to be taken care as well. I personally never have thought about hydrating them much up until recently so I was happy to review Biotrue rewetting drops.
10ml unique Biotrue rewetting drops dispenser: Biotrue® rewetting drops 10ml's innovative Control Grip system simplifies handling and gives you peace of mind during use. It is preservative free and can be used for six months once opened. It contains 0.24% hyaluronic acid.
Single dose: Easy to administer, this handy single dose unit is particularly convenient for travel and the ideal companion, whether in the office, during leisure time or while travelling. It is preservative free and contains 0.24% hyaluronic acid.
Fact: Hyaluronic Acid can retain almost 100 times its weight in water to keep our eyes feeling hydrated.
Fact: Biotrue® rewetting drops deliver instant and natural hydration because of their specific preservative free formulation based on hyaluronic acid.
Fact: Whilst most of us moisturise our skin every day, we forget that our eyes are also exposed to the environment, including air conditioning and heating, and can become dehydrated. Digital technology, especially spending long hours at a computer screen, can also take its toll on our eyes as our blink rate reduces and as a result our eyes are less lubricated.
I have been suffering from dry eyes lately and I couldn't wait to try these drops.
I have tried Biotrue rewetting drops a few times during the past 2 weeks right after walks with the dog because the wind really dries my eyes and I am really liking these drops. They have been working better than an other brand I had tried recently.
Unfortunately these drops are not available in Canada yet but hopefully it will soon. I know if I see these in stores out here I will be buying a bottle.
It is launching in Boots in the U.K. , and you can also find it in Superdrug .
