Q: Creating decorators with access to closures I have lots of little objects that all need to fulfill very similar tasks and I would like to use a decorator to modify those objects since this makes things a lot easier for me. Problem is, I also need to trigger stuff as soon as certain data on these objects is accessed while at the same time preventing outside access to the actual data. Therefore, I'm using a closure to store the private data and provide magical mutators for outside access. Finally, I'm also using a constructor for no specific reason.
This is a very reduced version of the object and the parts that give me headaches:
var Foo = function () {
  var hiddenState;
  return {
    set state (s) {
      // Do something that justifies using magical accessors
      state = s;
    },
    get state () {
      // Do something that justifies using magical accessors
      return state;
    }
  }
};

var o = new Foo();
o.state = 10;

Okay, now there are some objects that should behave a different from the rest when their mutators are used. So, I thought, I'd just overwrite the mutators and that's it:
// Let's suppose I have some reason to modify the magical accessors for some objects but not for others
Object.defineProperty(o, 'state', {
  get: function () {return hiddenState /*...*/},
  set: function (s) {state = s /*...*/}
});

o.state; // Ouch!

This doesn't work. I get a reference error because I'm trying to access hiddenState when it wasn't defined within the scope of the new getter/setter pair.
I suspect JS dumps the closure that was only accessible from the old mutators as soon as I pass in the new ones. Is there some way to deal with this problem?

A: You can access the closure that had access to hiddenState using Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor. Also, if you don't need to modifiy the getter, just don't overwrite it at all, it will persist.
var oldSetter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(o, 'state').set;
Object.defineProperty(o, 'state', {
  set: function (s) {
    /* do something to s */
    oldSetter(s);
  }
});

Моріс Фітцджеральд (; 1318 — 25 серпня 1390) — IV граф Кілдер — ірландський аристократ, пер Ірландії, лорд-юстиціарій Ірландії.

Життєпис
Моріс ФітцДжеральд був другим сином Томаса ФітцДжеральда — ІІ графа Кілдер та його дружини Джоан ФітцДжеральд (пом. 1359) — дочки Річарда де Бурго — ІІ графа Ольстера. Моріс ФітцДжеральд успадкував титул графа Кілдер та володіння графів Кілдер від свого брата Річарда — ІІІ графа Кілдер, що помер у віці 12 років в 1329 році.

У 1339 році Моріс ФітцДжеральд придушив повстання клану О'Демпсі в Лейнстері. У листопаді 1346 року разом з лорд-юстиціарієм Ірландії Бермінгемом він змусив клан О'Мор дати заручників як запоруку їх «гарної поведінки» — не повставати проти влади короля Англії і не нападати на англійську колонію в Ірландії. 26 січня 1347 року його викликав Райт в палац Елтем для служби королю Англії Едварду ІІІ. Моріс ФітцДжеральд брав участь у Столітній війні, командував загонами при облозі Кале, був посвячений у лицарі королем Англії.

В Ірландії в графстві Кілдер спалахнуло чергове повстання. Моріса ФітцДжеральда відправили в Ірландію для придушення повстання 14 вересня 1358 року. На підвладних йому землях він набирав армію для придушення повстання.

30 березня 1360 року він отримав посаду лорд-юстиціарія Ірландії з жалуванням 500 фунтів стерлінгів сріблом щорічно. Цю посаду він отримав вдруге 22 березня 1371 року і втретє 16 лютого 1375 року і володів нею до повернення сера Вільяма Віндзора.

У 1364 року він очолив делегацію ірландської шляхти та чиновників, що поскаржилась королю Англії Едварду ІІІ на дії уряду Ірландії, на корупцію окремих посадових осіб, зокрема на свавільні дії корд-канцлера Ірландії Томаса де Берлі.

У 1378 року Моріс ФітцДжеральд, на прохання короля Англії Річарда ІІ, супроводжував лорд-юстиціарія Ірландії Джеймса Батлера — ІІ графа Ормонд, що зустрічався з делегацією ірландського клану О'Морхо з Сліаб Марге. Під час проведення цієї акції він зазнав нападу, втратив своїх людей. За це він просив компенсації в короля Англії і отримав від міністра фінансів Ірландії £ 10 21 травня 1378 року.

Моріса ФітцДжеральда неодноразово викликали на засідання парламенту Ірландії, зокрема на засідання 22 січна 1377 року, що відбулося в Кастлдермат, на засідання 11 вересня 1381 року, що відбулося в Трім, на засідання 29 квітня 1382 року, що відбулося в Дубліні.

Моріс ФітцДжеральд підтримував сера Філіпа Куртенея — лорда-юстиціарія Ірландії, що вів боротьбу з Ірландськими повстанцями в Лейнстері та в графстві Міт. На боротьбу з повстанцями бракувало коштів. У нагороду за це він отримав 20 квітня 1386 року маєтки сера Вільяма де Лондона в графствах Кілдер та Міт — він отримав право бути опікуном цих маєтків на час неповноліття спадкоємця — Джона де Лондона. 5 серпня 1389 року він отримав у власність маєтки Лукан (графство Дублін), маєтки Кілдроут (нині Селбрідж), Кілмакредок (графство Кілдер).

29 травня 1390 року Моріс ФітцДжеральд отримав наказ схопити О'Коннора — сина Доу О'Демпсі — ірландського ватажка, якого визнали «ворогом короля», кинути його за ґрати в замок Кілдер, а потім в Дублінський замок.

Моріс ФітцДжеральд помер у похилому віці в 1390 році і був похований в церкві Святої Трійці — нині це собор Крайстчерч, Дублін.

Шлюб і діти
Моріс ФітцДжеральд — IV граф Кілдер одружився з Елізабет де Бургерш — ІІІ баронессою Бургерш — дочкою Бартоломея де Бургерша — ІІ барона Бургерш. У цьому шлюбі було не менше 5 дітей, у тому числі:
 Джеральд ФітцДжеральд — V граф Кілдер
 Джон ФіцДжеральд — де-юре VI граф Кілдер, він не зумів отримати титули та володіння свого брата після його смерті, але мав нащадків, що заволоділи цим титулом.
 Томас ФітцДжеральд — VII граф Кілдер
 Томас Фітцджеральд — верховний шериф графства Лімерік
 Джоанн ФітцДжеральд — одружилась з Тадгом Майністрехом Мак Картайх Мором — королем ірландського королівства Десмонд.

In gas power cycles, the working fluid remains a gas throughout the entire cycle. Spark-ignition engines, diesel engines, and conventional gas turbines are familiar examples of devices that operate on gas cycles. In all these engines, energy is provided by burning a fuel within the system boundaries. That is, they are internal combustion engines. Because of this combustion process, the composition of the working fluid changes from air and fuel to combustion products during the course of the cycle. However, considering that air is pre- dominantly nitrogen that undergoes hardly any chemical reactions in the combustion chamber, the working fluid closely resembles air at all times.
Even though internal combustion engines operate on a mechanical cycle (the piston returns to its starting position at the end of each revolution), the working fluid does not undergo a complete thermodynamic cycle. It is thrown out of the engine at some point in the cycle (as exhaust gases) instead of being returned to the initial state. Working on an open cycle is the characteristic of all internal combustion engines.
1. The working fluid is air, which continuously circulates in a closed loop and always behaves as an ideal gas.
2. All the processes that make up the cycle are internally reversible.
3. The combustion process is replaced by a heat-addition process from an external source (Fig. 8–9).
4. The exhaust process is replaced by a heat-rejection process that restores the working fluid to its initial state.
Another assumption that is often utilized to simplify the analysis even more is that air has constant specific heats whose values are determined at room temperature (25˚C or 77˚F). When this assumption is utilized, the air- standard assumptions are called the cold-air-standard assumptions. A cycle for which the air-standard assumptions are applicable is frequently referred to as an air-standard cycle.
The air-standard assumptions stated above provide considerable simplification in the analysis without significantly deviating from the actual cycles. This simplified model enables us to study qualitatively the influence of major parameters on the performance of the actual engines.


If you are only visiting the Johannesburg and Bloemfontein and areas south thereof there is virtually no risk of contracting this disease, however if you plan to go to the Kruger Park or the north eastern parts of the country you should contact your doctor for advice.
In low risk areas no anti-malaria drugs are necessary. In the North West Province (where we are based) and the Northern Cape along the Molopo and Orange Rivers, including the Augrabies Falls and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, malaria is only occasionally locally transmitted. It is not necessary to take anti-malaria drugs when visiting these areas, but precautionary measures to prevent mosquito bites should be taken.
In intermediate risk areas (Kosi Bay, Sodwana Bay, Mkuze Game Reserve and St Lucia Lake (not the town of St Lucia and the river mouth), the use of anti-malarial drugs is advisable only for high risk people from October to May. Check with your physician or travel clinic.
Malaria is endemic in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga and in Limpopo (including the Kruger Park and private game reserves which make these provinces so popular with travellers). In KwaZulu Natal malaria is endemic on the Maputaland coast. So if you are travelling to the far north of South Africa, please consult a heath-care professional for the latest advice on malaria prophylaxis as it changes regularly.

« Older: Austin Peay Lady Govs softball schedule changed at Gardner-Webb Newer: Austin Peay Govs seek to bring road formula back home as UTM comes to town »
Record book rewritten during Hardy's HOF baseball career
APSU Sports Information
Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay was fortunate things didn't work out for Rowdy Hardy at his first college baseball stop
After one redshirt year at Ole Miss, Hardy elected to transfer to Jackson State Community College, where he pitched for former Gov Steve Cornelison and led the conference in innings pitched.
At that point, Austin Peay set its sights on the durable hurler— then-APSU head coach Gary McClure always had a penchant for lefties. But not even McClure could not have envisioned what the 6-2 slender slinger was going to accomplish during the next three seasons and in the process earn the distinction of becoming a member of APSU's Athletics Hall of Fame.
His induction will be 9:00am, Saturday in a ceremony in the Dunn Center's front lobby.
Arriving in Fall 2003, Hardy not only became the anchor of the Govs pitching staff during the mid-2000s but as well the winningest pitcher in Austin Peay and Ohio Valley Conference history. The master of the dead-fish change-up and a tailing fastball that resembled a screwball from yesteryear, Hardy won 32 games in his three years, six more victories than any other Governors pitcher in history.
Hardy made quite the immediate impression in his first season, especially during OVC play. As a sophomore in 2004, he was named the league's Rookie of the Year after finishing with a school-record 12 wins (three losses) with a 2.90 ERA in leading the Govs to a regular-season league title—he finished 10th nationally in victories.
After posting a 7-0 league mark and 2.30 ERA, the Bethel Springs native earned the first of three All-OVC awards. He also was named third-team All-America by Louisville Slugger—APSU's first All-American since 2000—after earning American Baseball Coaches Association All-South Region honors.
Hardy followed up his outstanding sophomore season with an equally superb junior campaign, going 11-6—becoming the only Gov pitcher in history with multiple double-digit wins seasons. He also posted a 2.63 ERA—a microscopic 2.04 ERA during league play—and was named first-team All-OVC for a second straight time. During the season he was named OVC Pitcher of the Week three times, two coming after he pitched back-to-back shutouts during league play.
Hardy also earned all-region honors for a second straight year. He was selected APSU's Most Outstanding Male Athlete for the first of two consecutive seasons. The Govs finished the OVC regular-season in second place but defeated Jacksonville State in the title game, earning APSU's first NCAA berth (Knoxville Region) since the 1996 season. Hardy was selected second-team All-America and was chosen to pitch the Govs' NCAA opener against Tennessee and Luke Hochevar, who would become the top pick in that season's pro draft.
With a team besieged by injuries—especially on the infield—in 2006, Hardy still won nine games (9-3)—narrowly missing a third double-digit victory campaign but still posting a career-best 2.58 ERA while leading the Govs to a third-straight 30-win campaign.
Not only are Hardy's 32 career wins an APSU mark but an OVC record as well, two more than second-place Jeff Cruse (1984-87), who played four seasons at EKU. During his career, Hardy averaged just 1.74 walks per nine innings, also a school mark. Hardy pitched 19 complete games in his 45 starts, the most by any APSU pitcher since the early 1980s. His 96 strikeouts in 2005 are the second most in a single season. In fact, Hardy is ranked in the Top 10 in 21 single-season and/or career marks.
After completing his APSU career, he embarked on a six-year minor league career, first with the Kansas City Royals and later with the Atlanta Braves organizations. An undrafted free agent, Hardy was the Royals Minor League Pitcher of the Year for 2007 after compiling a 15-5 record with 2.48 ERA for Wilmington in the Carolina League. He reached as high as Triple-A in the Braves organization.

Personnel Adjustments at KPA General Political Bureau
Posted on the 31 May 2018 by Michael_nklw @Michael_NKLW
KPA General Political Department Deputy Director for Organizational Affairs Col. Gen. Son Chol Ju (left) and KPA General Political Department Director Gen. Kim Su Gil (3rd right) (Photo: KCNA).
Late last week, DPRK state media publicized two highly significant personnel changes to the Korean People's Army [KPA] high command. In a report about Kim Jong Un's (Kim Cho'ng-u'n) on-site visit to the Wo'nsan-Kalma tourism zone, state media identified General Kim Su Gil (Kim Su-kil) as Director of the KPA General Political Bureau (Department) [GPB] and Col. Gen. Son Chol Ju (So'n Ch'o'l-chu) as deputy director for organization for the GPB.
These appointments put in place permanent leadership at the GPB and shed light on the personnel changes made during the May meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea [WPK] Central Military Commission [CMC]. State media reporting referred to the CMC "relieving or transferring senior officials of the armed forces organs and appointing new ones," but did not explicitly disclose which senior officials were removed from office and which ones took their place. There is a very good chance that other KPA high command appointments have been made and will be publicized shortly, possibly during the June 1 inter-Korea meeting.

The GPB personnel shuffle represents a continuation of tightening Party [WPK] control over the KPA. Of the three high command organizations comprising the DPRK's armed forces, the GPB has proven by dint of its personnel numbers, its role in personnel and financial matters in the military, and its power to be the most unwieldy. There is a speculative case to be made that the GPB, if not properly reined in, could present a formidable challenge to Kim Jong Un's authority.
This would not be a violent power challenge such as a coup or house arrest, rather the GPB could exert bureaucratic resistance to policy or personnel directives from The Center. There was also the possibility, given the eventual in-flow of inter-Korean monies and assistance (i.e. construction materials), the GPB also would have been well-placed to engage in misappropriation and malfeasance. Kim Jong Un began to nip this in the bud last year because both of these things lend themselves to creating alternate power centers, which is what happened in 2013.
During the last half of 2017 (as noted in previous offerings on this site) the GPB was subjected to its first top-to-bottom investigation and audit by the WPK Organization Guidance Department since the mid-1990s. The appointments of Gen. Kim and Col. Gen. Son represent the final phase of this process of reasserting the Suryo'ng's and the Party's power over the GPB.
Some Pyongyang watchers have claimed this latest personnel shuffle is a sign that Kim Jong Un lacks power or is not the real decisionmaker in DPRK political culture. This is: (circle your favorite one) the product of magical thinking; willful ignorance as to how Pyongyang politics work; or, people saying ill-informed things to fill in the Pinter Pauses of television news discourse. If Kim Jong Un lacked authority or control, then he would not turn the nub of the financial auditor's fountain pen and the barrel of the executioner's gun on a power constituency like the KPA General Political Bureau; an insecure or weak leader would not be able to withstand the blowback.

Kim Su Gil: Kim Su Gil replaced VMar Kim Jong Gak (Kim Cho'ng-kak) as Director of the GPB. Prior to his appointment, Kim Su Gil served as Chairman of the Pyongyang City WPK Committee, a position he held since 2014. Before Kim was the party boss in the DPRK capital, he was a uniformed KPA general-grade officer with a career working in the GPB. He was part of an entourage of adjutants who accompanied Kim Jong Un during the first two years of his leadership. Based on recent state media reporting, Kim (who was last known to be a two-star Lieutenant-General) was upped to four star General (taejang).

Gen. Kim is highly trusted by Kim Jong Un. This is not the first time Jong Un has given Gen. Kim a high-profile position following significant political upheaval. Kim's appointment to the Pyongyang Party Committee was a result of the 2013 investigation, dismissal and execution of Jang Song Taek (Chang So'ng-t'aek). The Pyongyang City WPK Committee was led by close Jang associate Mun Kyong Dok (Mun Kyo'ng-tok) and Mun's immediate subordinates were all charter members of Jang's patronage network. So, we can see Kim Su Gil as someone Kim Jong Un taps to lead a tainted institution following the agonizing reappraisals of an OGD housecleaning.

Son Chol Ju: Son has replaced Lt. Gen. Jo Nam Jin (Cho Nam-chin) and, quite possibly, Gen. Kim Won Hong (Kim Wo'n-hong). At the very least Son is now GPB Deputy Director for Organization, arguably the most powerful position in GPB other than that of director. Like Kim Su Gil, Col. Gen. Son has spent his career in the GPB; as such, Col. Gen. Son and Gen. Kim are members of the "GPB Mafia," a cohort upon whom Kim Jong Un relies to fill top positions in the DPRK security community, but one he needs to warily keep in check. Prior to his recent appointment, Son Chol Ju was the KPA Air and Anti-Air Force political director and head of its political committee.

From 2007 to 2010, Col. Gen. Son served as a GPB deputy director, most likely with the Propaganda portfolio. He replaced Gen. Pak Jae Gyong (Pak Ch'ae-kyo'ng) as a member of the KPA Operations Command Group, the troika of adjutants that accompanied Kim Jong Il during his on-site visits and field inspections for most of the 2000s. Son had a low public profile between 2010 and 2011, but emerged as a key member of the KPA high command after Kim Jong Un assumed power. He was promoted to Colonel-General (sangjang) in 2015
VMar Kim Jong Gak (Photo: Rodong Sinmun)
Kim Jong Gak: From January until May 2018, VMar Kim served as GPB Director, although it's quite probable that VMar Kim was heading the GPB during late 2017. There is a precedent for Kim Jong Un appointing a highly respected, senior official to an interim/transitional position in the high command; the late Gen. Kim Kyok Sik served short terms of office as both Minister of the People's Armed Forces and Chief of the KPA General Staff between 2012 and 2014.
Kim Jong Gak was elected to the WPK Political Bureau during the April 2018 WPK Central Committee plenary meeting and elected a member of the State Affairs Commission during the 6th session of the 13th Supreme People's Assembly. He also sat in the front row during the May 2018 CMC meeting; it is highly unlikely that the core leadership would have run a loyal, respected figure like VMar Kim through this whole song and dance were he not to remain a member of the high command. There is an even (50/50) chance that VMar Kim has been appointed either Chief of the KPA General Staff or Minister of the People's Armed Forces.

After the CMC meeting, ROK media and Pyongyang watchers speculated that last known Minister of the People's Armed Forces Gen. Pak Yong Sik (Pak Yo'ng-sik) or last known Chief of the KPA General Staff VMar Ri Myong Su (Ri Myo'ng-su) may have been replaced. VMar Kim previously held a short term in 2012 as Minister of the PAF and his career background certainly qualifies him to serve as Chief of the General Staff. Gen. Pak and VMar Ri both attended the April 27 high level inter-Korea summit where they were observed saluting ROK President Moon Jae In.

Zwifter Spotlight: The Sky's The Limit
Before last winter, Mark Cutter didn't own a road bike.
Five months later, this new cyclist was finishing 100-mile rides and climbing mountains.
Cutter, 36, didn't know what he was getting into when he signed up for the Police Unity Tour in February 2018. The multi-day ride is a fundraiser for the National Law Enforcement Memorial and surviving family members of fallen law enforcement officers. Cutter's city government co-workers in Fort Collins, Colorado, convinced him to join them for a good cause.
As part of Team Colorado, Cutter would ride 253 miles in three days, from New Jersey to Washington, D.C. The longest day would be 107 miles.
So far, Cutter's longest day on his mountain bike was a couple miles to the closest gas station and back.
"I realized I had no road bike experience and knew I couldn't just show up and ride," he says. "I needed to take this seriously and train hard."
Turning to Zwift
Faced with the unknown, Cutter turned to the Internet. He researched road bikes and ordered one from the local bike shop. He devoured videos by GCN and others on YouTube, hungry for as many tips on training, nutrition, and road cycling as he could find.
Cutter and his wife, Kara, have two daughters, a 4-year-old and a 3-month-old. It was hard for Cutter to find time to get outside on his bike. When he did have time to ride, the harsh Colorado winter gave him second thoughts. Indoor training was his best option.
He found an inexpensive magnetic trainer, bought a speed and cadence sensor, and downloaded the Zwift iOS mobile app. Immediately, he noticed he was having a lot more fun than he expected.
"Zwift was interactive and kept it challenging and entertaining," he says. "I wasn't just spinning away staring at a wall."
Taking it Outside
After a couple months riding indoors, Cutter got together with a few of his teammates for his first outdoor group ride.
He started out feeling nervous but grew more and more confident as he found himself beating his friends to the top of the hills. Excited and feeling strong, he decided to join a faster-paced group for another one of his early outdoor rides.
This time, it wasn't the same.
Cutter didn't dress warm enough for the cold weather, and the group was too fast for him. He struggled to keep up for a miserable 35 miles.
"We finished and everyone was ready to eat and celebrate," Cutter says. "I was freezing, sore and just wanted to go home. I really was worried that I wouldn't be able to complete further rides."
But he wasn't backing down from his goal.
A Goal Attained
Cutter continued his training on Zwift, where the weather couldn't touch him and he could ride at his own speed. He mixed things up with workouts, group rides, and even some virtual races.
His older daughter would dress up in a "bike outfit" – black shorts and a T-shirt – to watch her dad and cheer him on with an enthusiastic "Ride on!"
Cutter's confidence grew with support from his family and a few more outdoor rides. By May, it was time for the Police Unity Tour. Cutter was ready, and his training paid off.
"It was a great time. I was in great shape for it," Cutter says. "I was really amazed how good I did with only a few outdoor rides. The rest was all Zwift rides!"
Seeking New Challenges
After getting a taste of how cycling could feel, he was craving more.
At a friend's suggestion, Cutter rode in June to Estes Park, a small town at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The route included some challenging climbs in the mountains – mere "hills" to Colorado cyclists.
Cutter fought back doubts by setting small goals. If he could make it up the first incline onto flatter roads, he could take a break. Making it to the top would be a victory, no matter how long it took him to get there. His family gave him water along the way and met him at the park to celebrate.
"The ride was harder than expected," Cutter says, "but I did it!"
Encouraging New Zwifters
When Cutter got back from Estes Park, he shared his accomplishment in the Zwift Riders Facebook group, hoping to inspire other new riders to take on a challenge, too.
He says setting a goal can help you stay motivated, especially if you train with others who are working toward the same goal. Start by taking small steps and build slowly from there. Cutter's first ride on the new bike was 5 miles.
"I liked all the goals in Zwift. Unlock this route, unlock this jersey, unlock this bike... small things," he says. "The Great Wall of China was not built in one weekend. One brick at a time."
You don't need an expensive trainer or a new bicycle, Cutter says, but it can help to treat yourself to something that helps you feel pride in your gear, like a nice jersey or shorts.
It also helps to keep having fun.
When other riders pass him in Zwift, Cutter playfully chases them. "Oh you just passed me? No way."
By August, Cutter decided to take on Mount Evans, climbing the highest paved road in the United States.
"Finishing the ride (to Estes Park) made me want to find the next bigger and better challenge on my bike," he says.
The route Cutter chose is more than 14 miles long, and elevation at the summit is over 10,000 feet. The grade isn't extreme, but it can feel much steeper when you're riding on tired legs and breathing thin air. He climbed at a steady pace and took the ride in small pieces at a time.
A mountain goat perched on the rocky landscape made him smile. It reminded him of the ibex at the top of a mountain in Zwift. When he reached the summit, he marveled at how far he had come.
"I know I'll never be a Zwift pro or on Team Sky, but it's been a blast seeing what rides I've accomplished in less than a year," Cutter says.
Cutter is working on goals for next year, but right now, he's focused on helping someone else reach hers. His wife is planning to join him in next year's Unity Tour. Kara has been using Zwift to train while taking care of the new baby.
"She told me once before she got her bike, 'Riding up those mountains doesn't seem enjoyable to me,'" Cutter says. "I told her in no way did I ever think I'd be riding up these hills. . . . But as I slowly got better and started making these small accomplishments, I wanted to keep going to see where I'd climb next."
Wherever it is, he won't give up until he gets there.

"А great tragedy for the entire sports world took place yesterday in Argentina. Olympic swimming champion Camille Muffat, boxer Alexis Vastine and sailor Florence Arthaud, were killed in a plane crash.
On behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee and myself, I express my deepest condolences to the families of the French athletes and to the French National Olympic Committee. It's sad when talented athletes, supported by fans from different corners of the globe pass away in the prime of life. The Olympic Movement has suffered a great loss.

Knowing how many miles you can drive on an empty gas tank prevents getting stranded. Nissan Altimas can go the farthest when the low fuel light is on.
Every driver occasionally lets their gas tank get low enough to trigger the low fuel warning light. Even though we all know it's best to keep your gas tank ¼ full, we still let it run low from time to time. Knowing how far you can drive on an empty gas tank will help keep you from getting stuck on the side of the road.
Before letting your car run on empty again, it's worth knowing just how many – or how few – miles you can actually drive after the light comes on. It's also smart to know what else is at stake when you let your gas tank run to near depletion.
Part 1 of 3: Is it dangerous to drive with the low fuel warning light illuminated?
The primary concern when driving on empty is the possibility of running out of gas and getting stuck on the road, which is not only a hassle, but also a potentially dangerous situation. You may break down on the freeway, where the surrounding cars are traveling upwards of 70 MPH, or you may break down on a blind turn on the highway, where a vehicle could rear end you. Or you could run out of fuel in the middle of a desert, like what surrounds Tucson, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada, or on a frigid snowy road outside Chicago, Illinois, or Cleveland, Ohio.
That said, driving on empty can also do damage to your vehicle. If you do run out of gas, you can do damage to your catalytic converter, which may then need to be repaired or replaced as a result. Even the simple act of driving with a low amount of fuel in your tank can damage your fuel pump, as any debris or contamination in the gas (which naturally settles at the bottom of the tank), will be sent through your fuel pump when the tank is nearly empty. You're not going to ruin your car the first time you drive it with the low fuel warning light on, but it's a harmful practice to do regularly.
Part 2 of 3: How trustworthy is the distance to empty gauge?
Most modern vehicles have a distance to empty gauge on their instrument cluster, which provides an approximation of how many miles can be driven before the car runs out of gas. Many people prefer to use this feature in lieu of the low fuel warning light, figuring that if the gauge says there are 20 miles left, then they have 20 miles before they run out of gas.
However, this is a dangerous practice, as the distance to empty gauge only offers a rough approximation. This approximation is based on the average mileage that you have attained while driving your vehicle, which means that it may not be very accurate relative to your current driving conditions.
For instance, if most of your driving is done on the highway, then your distance to empty meter is probably not very accurate when you're stuck in traffic. So while the gauge provides a fairly accurate approximation when your tank is relatively full, it shouldn't be used to figure out your exact number of miles remaining in the tank when you're running on empty.
Part 3 of 3: How far can you drive on empty?
Exactly how far you can drive on empty depends on your vehicle, your driving habits, and road conditions. However, you may be surprised to see how few miles you actually can drive once the low fuel warning light comes on.
Here is the range for how many miles you can drive – as well as the point at which the warning light illuminates – for the top 50 best-selling vehicles in the United States in 2015.
Driving on empty is sometimes a necessity, and when you find yourself in that situation, it is important for you to know exactly how many miles of range you have left. Figuring this out beforehand is a good way to be prepared when the tank gets really low, and to avoid a breakdown. If you notice that you are reaching empty unusually quickly or have leaking fuel, be sure to have an inspection performed as soon as possible.
Q: Getting error code P0463.
Q: How do I view the average fuel economy?

Q: using a while loop to insert multiple rows in C# and ado.net i want to assign classes to teachers within certain class :
i have a variables and i want all variables to be loop and inserted with many rows in database as you can see i put a numbers from 1 to 8  i want each group of number to be inserted into database in multiple rows and not to insert only with number 1 .
int count = 0;
string classid = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
string period_1 = period1.Text;
string time_1 = time1.Text;
string weekday1 = "1";
string course_1 = Scourses1.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_1 = Steacher1.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_2 = time2.Text;
string weekday2 = "2";
string course_2 = Scourses2.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_2 = Steacher2.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_3 = time3.Text;
string weekday3 = "3";
string course_3 = Scourses3.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_3 = Steacher3.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_4 = time4.Text;
string weekday4 = "4";
string course_4 = Scourses4.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_4 = Steacher4.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_5 = time5.Text;
// string weekday5 = weekd5.Text;
string course_5 = Scourses5.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_5 = Steacher5.SelectedValue.ToString();
string period_2 = period2.Text;
string time_6 = time6.Text;
//string weekday6 = weekd1.Text;
string course_6 = Scourses6.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_6 = Steacher6.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_7 = time7.Text;
//string weekday7 = weekd2.Text;
string course_7 = Scourses7.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_7 = Steacher7.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_8 = time8.Text;
// string weekday8 = weekd3.Text;
string course_8 = Scourses8.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_8 = Steacher8.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_9 = time9.Text;
string weekday9 = weekd4.Text;
string course_9 = Scourses9.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_9 = Steacher9.SelectedValue.ToString();
string time_10 = time10.Text;
string weekday10 = weekd5.Text;
string course_10 = Scourses10.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_10 = Steacher10.SelectedValue.ToString();

//and the query to insert into database is :
string query = "INSERT INTO dbo.teacher_classes (period, weekday, course, teach_id, time, class_id) " +
               "VALUES (@Period, @Weekday, @Course, @Teach_id, @Time, @Class) ";

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Period", period_1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Weekday", weekday1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Course", course_1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Teach_id", teach_1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Time", time_1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Class", classid);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ERROR", SqlDbType.Char, 500);
cmd.Parameters["@ERROR"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
count = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

con.Close();

//the only variables inserted is:
string classid = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
string period_1 = period1.Text;
string time_1 = time1.Text;
string weekday1 = "1";
string course_1 = Scourses1.SelectedValue.ToString();
string teach_1 = Steacher1.SelectedValue.ToString();

i want to insert them as a while loop to be inserted in many rows that is ?

A: First of all define a class to contain your values (We are using an Object Oriented Language, right?)
public class Lesson
{
   pulic int LessonID {get; set;}
   public string Period {get; set;}
   public string  StartTime  {get; set;}
   public string weekday {get; set;}
   public int CourseID  {get; set;}
   public int TeacherID  {get; set;}
}

Now in your code define a List(of MyLesson) where you add the Lessons
public List<Lesson> myLessons = new List<Lesson>();

The next step is to extract the values from your controls, add to a Lesson object and insert the lesson object in the previous list
Lesson aLesson = new Lesson();
aLesson.LessonID = Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
aLesson.Period = period1.Text;
aLesson.StartTime = time1.Text;
aLesson.Weekday = "1";
aLesson.CourseID = Convert.ToInt32(Scourses1.SelectedValue);
aLesson.TeacherID = Convert.ToInt32(Steacher1.SelectedValue);
myLessons.Add(aLesson);
// Repeat for the next block of fields

The last step is to loop over the List of Lesson and call the insert to the database, but first create all the parameters needed in the insert with dummy values, then enter the loop, assign the real values and execute the query
string query = "INSERT INTO dbo.teacher_classes (period, weekday, course, teach_id, " +
               "time, class_id) VALUES (@Period, @Weekday, @Course, @Teach_id, @Time, @Class) ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Period", "");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Weekday", "");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Course", 0);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Teach_id", 0);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Time", "");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Class", 0);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ERROR", SqlDbType.Char, 500);
cmd.Parameters["@ERROR"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;

foreach(Lesson aLesson in myLessons)
{
   cmd["@Period"].Value = aLesson.Period;
   cmd["@Weekday"].Value = aLesson.Weekday;
   cmd["@Course"].Value = aLesson.CourseID;
   cmd["@Teach_id"].Value = aLesson.TeacherID;
   cmd["@Time"].Value = aLesson.StartTime;
   cmd["@Class"].Value = aLesson.ClassID;
   count = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Please, take note that this is pseudocode, just to give you the direction to follow.
It is up to you to render it a working code.

Johann Hari: Celebrity is like sugar - a little is fun, too much is deadly
It's only once you admit that celebrity has a place that you can keep it in its place
(Chris Coady/NB Illustration)
The great cliché of our age is that we are sinking into a lobotomised celebrity culture where we worship the worthless. We jabber on about Katie and Peter while carbon emissions soar; we yammer about the X Factor while Afghanistan burns. The a new headline-snatching documentary Starsuckers, released today, expresses this view at great length: the West has been drugged by fame into a brain-coma, where our eyes can only follow the neon lights of Hollywood and the Big Brother house.
But is it true? The two-hour film – with all its haughty polemic – helped me to figure out why I am so queasy about this argument, even though I agree with some of its specific points. Yes, I worry that my young nephews' first question about anyone I mention is: "Are they famous?" Yes, I fret that one of my friends is obsessed with Justin Timberlake, and seems to have a stronger imaginary relationship with him than with anyone she actually knows. Yes, I find the creeping of celebrity gossip into serious news broadcasts disturbing.
But the sweeping, simplistic dismissal of celebrity culture misses some more deeper, tougher truths. Running through Starsuckers – and this wider debate – are two incompatible arguments about celebrity. The first is that this revering of celebrities is a new phenomenon, born with television, and intensified by the internet. With these new technologies, we have fallen under a form of electronic hypnosis. We stare numbly at our screens and imagine we are seeing something real, rather than a photo-shopped fiction.
The second argument is more interesting. It suggests that we are hard-wired to seek out Big Men (or Women) and copy them. Think about the hunter-gatherer tribes that we lived in a few minutes ago (in evolutionary terms). Those ancestors of ours who identified the most powerful or abundant people in their group, worked their way into their entourage, and imitated their ways were obviously more likely to survive. Seeking out celebs had an evolutionary advantage – so they passed this instinct on to us. The people who thought it was dumb to act this way dropped off the human family tree.
This seems more persuasive, because some form of celebrity-worship has always existed. In his terrific new book Fame – From the Bronze Age to Britney, the classicist Tom Payne shows how humans have always told lascivious stories about people they don't know.
The ancient Romans made celebrities out of their gladiators, cheering when they killed and weeping when they died. Later, they made celebrities out of the Christian martyrs who were gored by them. The ancient Greeks gossiped about their gods' love affairs – and far from being wholly mythical, the gods appeared among them all the time. As Payne says: "You could invite gods to dinner. The god Serapis [or rather, somebody posing as him] would hold parties at which he was once 'host and guest'.... You could even have sex with a goddess." The tyrant Pisistratus typically found a gorgeous woman, put her in a chariot, and announced she was the goddess Athene. The crowd howled and whooped like anyone at Wembley.
And just as there has always been fame, there have always been people complaining that these days people get famous for nothing. In St Paul's letters to the Corinthians, he moans that people only become Christian martyrs nowadays "to obtain a corruptible crown" of celebrity. Here's Chaucer, writing in the 14th-century, giving voice to a crowd: "We have done neither that nor this/but spend our lives in idle play./Nonetheless we come to pray/That we should have as good a fame,/and great renown, and well-known name/as those who have done noble deeds." The Queen snaps: "What! Why should I serve/you the good fame you don't deserve/ because you've not achieved a thing?"
If celebrity has always existed, the debate changes. When people jeered at the Japanese game-shows Clive James put on air, where men ate maggots and crawled through shit, he counselled us to remember: a generation before, these young men would have been using the same drive for danger to fly kamikaze planes into Allied warships. He wrote: "Civilisation doesn't eliminate human impulses: it tames them, through changing their means of expression."
Our innate celebrity-instinct used to be directed in really dangerous ways – towards finding revering warriors like Achilles, who killed so many people that Homer ran out of names; or towards fanatics like the Catholic saints who believed God was talking to her. What were the the Jewish prophets, the Muslim martyrs or the Hindu gods but the celebrities of their day? They took this impulse and channelled it towards primitive superstitions, with all their cruelty, and all their backwardness. Compared to them, directing this impulse towards Zac Efron or Beyoncé or Robbie Williams – because they are hot, or sweet, or make pretty sounds – seems positively benign.
Modern celebrity isn't a deterioration from a pristine past; it's a taming of an impulse that was once met in far more harmful ways. Better Madonna than the Madonna. Better the Heat of celebs telling you to buy perfume than the heat of martyrs telling you you'll burn in hell.
It's only once you admit that celebrity has a place that you can keep it in its place. To a culture, celebrity is like sugar: fun in moderation, deadly if it's all you consume. We are letting one impulse – to vicariously enter the Big Man's entourage – over-ride the others, like the desire to enrich our minds. I have seen some of the best minds of my generation focus on nothing but discussing fame in ever more ironic ways, and they are left with a kind of intellectual diabetes. Whenever I see celebrity news bursting beyond its proper boundary, I remember Pauline Kael, the great film critic for the New Yorker and one of the first intellectuals to take trashy films seriously. When she was dying, she gave a final interview, and said sadly: "All that time I was promoting trash culture, I never imagined it would become the only culture we have."
We need an unwritten Celeb Code of Hygiene about what they should do, and how we should respond to them. Celebrities can provide us with pleasure and titillation – within limits. There needs to be privacy rules to stop us stalking celebs to despair or death. Remember – Greta Garbo didn't actually say "I want to be alone." She said "I want to be let alone" – and there's a world of difference.
And we should drop the mad idea that they should provide us with political guidance. The most effective part of Starsuckers is the exposé of how Bob Geldof and Bono hijacked the Make Poverty History campaign, defying the advice of the main aid groups to applaud political charades that later came to nothing. There's a more terrifying vision still in the film: in Lithuania, a "Celebrities' Party" ran for office, and became the second biggest party in government. The host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire became speaker of the parliament.
We will always have celebrities, and we will – if we are honest – always want them. If we rage against them Starsuckers-style, with an annihilating, snobbish superiority, we will lose the argument. The real struggle instead is to temper our instinct for fame – and stop it sucking up all the cultural oxygen.
Johann Hari will be discussing Starsuckers and other cultural events on Newsnight Review at 11pm on BBC2

The article analyses the rhetorical culture of the House of Commons in the era following the extension of the franchise in 1918, a period in which parliament saw a major influx of new Labour MPs, and also the entry for the first time of small number of women. The article discusses not only the norms and expectations surrounding parliamentary speech but also the ways in which some speaking styles and techniques became controversial. In particular, the Labour Party was accused by its opponents of practising 'rowdyism'. This allegation was part of a wider effort to undermine the party's constitutional credentials and to present it as unfit to govern. Thus, arguments about styles of arguing went the heart of broader debates over political legitimacy. To a considerable degree, Labour MPs were co-opted over time into existing codes of behaviour. But although Conservative efforts to associate their own oratorical style with political virtue did have some success, partisan factors alone are not sufficient to explain the shifts in rhetorical culture, which changed, in part, for reasons external to the institution itself. As power moved from the legislature to the executive, and as politics became increasingly professionalized, the speaking culture of the House of Commons was affected by a longstanding evolution from a discursive to a programmatic view of statecraft. Styles and techniques of parliamentary argument were thus influenced both by the changing nature of the state and by the shifting bargain between voters and the political classes in the era of universal suffrage.

Whatever It Takes… to Mentor a Student
Through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (via Volunteer Florida), our school-based AmeriCorps program operated in all 5 Martin County middle schools during the 2018-19 school year to provide mentoring and intervention services to nearly 600 students at risk of dropping out of school. As a result of our intervention:
87% of participants improved/maintained their Math and/or English & Language Arts grades
96% received no more than 2 disciplinary referrals per quarter
28 AmeriCorps members completed the service hours required to receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education award
Based on the success of this program, during the 2019-20 school year, we expanded to serve 10 schools: all 5 Martin County middle schools and 5 of the District's under-performing elementary schools. This year, BGCMC's 50 AmeriCorps Members are actively working to improve educational outcomes for over 1,200 students in grades K-8. AmeriCorps Members are also providing classroom and whole-school support resulting in a measurable, positive change in school culture.
In J.D. Parker, Hobe Sound, Seawind, Port Salerno, and Warfield Elementary Schools, AmeriCorps Members are delivering targeted literacy interventions to at least 525 students performing below grade level in English & Language Arts. Program goals include:
65% of students completing a minimum 9 weeks of the intervention will improve English & Language Arts scores in one or more domains.
Long term, students will have on-time grade promotion and successfully progress from elementary to middle school.
In Stuart, Hidden Oaks, Murray, Indiantown, and Dr. David L. Anderson Middle Schools, AmeriCorps Members are providing mentoring and intervention services to at least 750 students exhibiting poor grades, attendance, and behaviors – placing them at risk of dropping out of school. Program goals include:
65% of students will improve academic engagement and/or social-emotion skills.
Long term, students will have on-time grade promotion and successfully progress from middle to high school.
On October 4 the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County (BGCMC) welcomed 44 AmeriCorps members who are committed to giving a year's service to Martin County elementary and middle schools.

The British government should review and rebrand its Prevent counter-extremism strategy and engage more widely with Muslim communities to address "toxic" levels of mistrust, a parliamentary committee recommended on Thursday.
The report by the Home Affairs select committee also called for an independent review of the Prevent "duty," requiring teachers and other public sector workers to monitor and report people they believe may be at risk of being drawn into terrorism.
Other measures proposed in the report include recruiting video game programmers to produce content to challenge online extremism, and establishing a "high-tech, state of the art round-the-clock" hub bringing together representatives of the security services and technology companies to wage "cyber-war" on the Islamic State (IS) group and other "terrorist and extremist organisations".
The report was also scathing of existing measures being taken by social media companies, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, which it said were "consciously failing" to prevent their platforms being used to promote terrorism and killings.
"We are engaged in a war for hearts and minds in the fight against terrorism. The modern front line is the internet. Its forums, message boards and social media platforms are the lifeblood of Daesh [an Arabic name for IS] and other terrorist groups for their recruitment and financing and the spread of ideology," said Keith Vaz, the Labour MP who chairs the committee.
The review of government counter-extremism policy comes amid growing calls for Prevent to be abolished or reformed, as complaints that it is discriminatory against Muslims rise, as do concerns that the Prevent duty is stifling freedom of expression in classrooms and universities.
The extension of Prevent last year into schools, nurseries and other childcare settings, has also produced a surge in the number of referrals to the Channel counter-radicalisation programme of children deemed to be vulnerable to extremism.
But the report concluded that the duty had placed a responsibility on public bodies which they were finding hard to fulfil because of a lack of appropriate training and a "lack of clarity" about what was required. It said an independent body should be set up to review training and report on "the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Prevent duty on a statutory footing".
More broadly, the committee called for Prevent to be rebranded "Engage" and urged the government to involve more Muslim organisations, including those with which it did not agree, in a review of the strategy.
It warned that government plans for a new counter-extremism bill targeting so-called "non-violent extremism" were unfocused and risked being ineffective or counter-productive.
"The communities most affected by Prevent regard it as being toxic. Successive governments have failed to heed repeated calls for a review of Prevent. Prevent needs to become a more transparent, stakeholder-led, inclusive strategy, and be renamed Engage," said Vaz.
It also advised the government to be more transparent about "publicising its engagement activities," following reports by MEE on links between the Home Office's Research, Communications and Information Unit (RICU) and ostensibly grassroots counter-extremism organisations.
Citing "lamentable" levels of support for the families of individuals who had travelled to Syria and Iraq to join IS, the report suggested a new counselling service should be created and family and friends of those "sucked into extremism" consulted as part of efforts to develop a more sophisticated understanding of the process of radicalisation.
Its publication comes days after reports that one of three teenage schoolgirls from East London who absconded to IS-controlled Syria in 2014 and 2015 had been killed in an air strike. Relatives and teachers of the girls were among those who gave evidence to the committee.
And it called on the government to consider a deradicalisation scheme for returning foreign fighters along the lines of that pioneered in Denmark. The call comes with about 800 UK-linked fighters believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq, of whom about half are thought to have returned, and a 35 percent increase in terrorism-related arrests between 2010 and 2015.
The Muslim Council of Britain welcomed the report's findings and supported the committee's calls for a review of Prevent, which forms one strand within the government's broader counter-terrorism strategy.
But Ibrahim Mohamoud, a spokesperson for Cage, a counter-terrorism-focused human rights group, told MEE that the Select Committee was playing the blame game by emphasising the need for Muslims to take ownership of terrorist acts, instead of critically assessing whether the government's counter-terrorism measures reduced or increased the threat.
"The Select Committee claims there have been too many counter-terrorism laws yet they welcome the proposed Counter Terrorism and Safeguarding Bill. It is hard to understand how further legislation piled onto already existing failing legislation will rectify the situation," Mohamoud told MEE.
The latest call for Prevent to be reviewed follows calls for the strategy to be reformed or scrapped by David Anderson, the government's independent reviewer of terrorist legislation, and the main opposition Labour Party, as well as civil society organisations, community groups and international human rights watchdogs.
Rights Watch (UK), a human rights campaigning organisation which last month said that Prevent was violating the human rights of children, also welcomed calls for Prevent to be reviewed, but said there were still fundamental flaws with the strategy – namely its definition of 'extremism,' and the indicators it used to determine it.
Prevent officers have so far not been entirely successful in their efforts to wage cyber-war. Last week MEE revealed how police in Northamptonshire clumsily photoshopped an image of celebrity couple Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift and flouted copyright laws to promote their work.

Gulf of Mexico dead zone not expected to shrink anytime soon
March 22, 2018 , University of Waterloo
Achieving water quality goals for the Gulf of Mexico may take decades, according to findings by researchers at the University of Waterloo.
The results, which appear in Science, suggest that policy goals for reducing the size of the northern Gulf of Mexico's dead zone may be unrealistic, and that major changes in agricultural and river management practices may be necessary to achieve the desired improvements in water quality.
The transport of large quantities of nitrogen from rivers and streams across the North American corn belt has been linked to the development of a large dead zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico, where massive algal blooms lead to oxygen depletion, making it difficult for marine life to survive.
"Despite the investment of large amounts of money in recent years to improve water quality, the area of last year's dead zone was more than 22,000 km2—about the size of the state of New Jersey," said Kimberly Van Meter, lead author of the paper and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Waterloo.
Using more than two centuries of agricultural data, the scientists show that nitrogen has been accumulating in soils and groundwater over years of intensive agricultural production and will continue to make its way to the coast for decades.
Water quality has become increasingly impaired in the northern Gulf of Mexico since the 1950s, largely due to both intensive livestock production and the widespread use of commercial fertilizers across the Mississippi River Basin. Manure and fertilizer are rich in nitrogen, a nutrient that boosts crop production, but when present in excess can pose a threat to both human health and to aquatic ecosystems.
"We are seeing long time lags between the adoption of conservation measures by farmers and any measurable improvements in water quality," said Prof. Nandita Basu, senior author of the study.
Modelling results from the current work show that even under best-case scenarios, where effective conservation measures are immediately implemented, it will take on the order of 30 years to deplete the accumulated excess nitrogen currently stored within the agricultural landscape.
"This is not just a problem in the Mississippi River Basin," says Basu, an associate professor cross-appointed between the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Environmental Sciences. "As the need for intensive agricultural production continues to grow, nitrogen legacies are also increasing, creating a long-term problem for coastal habitats around the world."
The research team includes Prof. Philippe Van Cappellen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Ecohydrology and a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
The group is currently extending their analysis to phosphorus, a major driver of algal blooms in the Great Lakes and other inland waters.

Wanted: more strong women
Posted on March 05 2012, 10:40 AM
If you're reading this in a café, take a quick look around. If you're at home near a busy street, glance out the window. Chances are you'll see a fairly even mix of men and women - but, once you get to the boardroom or walk the corridors of power, all that changes.
Strong women hold families together and are at the heart of society but the sad truth is that too few of them are reaching positions of power in public and commercial life.
Over the years, I've met some amazing and inspiring women - many from the thriving Jewish community in my Hornsey and Wood Green constituency - who are giving men a run for their money and taking on leadership roles. But there are still not enough.
Inspiring women can be found everywhere - whether they are busy mums, top businesswomen, or those determined to make a difference like the Commission on Women in Jewish Leadership (CWJL) chair and Mitzvah Day founder, Laura Marks. But in too many cases women's talent is slipping through the net.
Progress has been made but there is much to do. As Equalities Minister, I am working to do something about it. I want to improve the gender balance both in the boardroom and in public life. A government-commissioned review last year called for 25 per cent of directors of major companies to be women. Since then, the proportion of female directors at FTSE 100 companies has risen from 12.5 per cent to 15 per cent.
So some progress has been made but there is much still to do. The issue is not just about the principle of promoting fairness; there is a strong pragmatic argument, too. Making better use of women's talents is crucial to our economic success. If women started businesses at the same rate as men, there would be an additional 150,000 start-ups each year in the UK. This reveals a well of untapped talent.
And if we had the same level of female entrepreneurship as the United States has, there would be around 600,000 extra women-owned businesses, contributing an extra £42 billion to the economy. So the government is putting women at the heart of Britain's economic future.
We have provided £2 million to support women's rural enterprise as well as establishing a women's business council to advise on what more we can do to maximise women's contribution to future economic growth.
Part of the problem is that many women simply lack the confidence to put themselves forward and make their voices heard. The Jewish community is often seen as very traditional, and research for the CWJL has found that men dominate in leadership roles. This is reflected across UK society as a whole, despite the fact that girls tend to perform better at school.
As well as promoting women leaders, the government is actively encouraging women who have thought about starting their own business but who, for various reasons, feel it is too risky. We have recently announced new funding for a mentoring scheme for women, designed to allay concerns and help them realise their potential.
In the Jewish world, women have set up or run many successful creative organisations (such as Jewish Book Week, the Jewish Film Festival and Limmud) but they don't seem to break through in larger established ones. Mentoring may be one answer.
But the government cannot act on this alone. That is why initiatives like the CWJL are so important. It is an example of a community working together to support and inspire women.
I have seen at first-hand the great social and economic contribution from the Jewish community. This is echoed across Britain and we have a string of impressive female role models. Together we can create more.

John Hunter Wickersham
Birth - Feb. 3, 1890
Death - Sep. 12, 1918
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Wickersham entered the service at Denver, Colorado. He was serving as a 2nd Lieutenant with the 353rd Infantry Regiment, 89th Infantry Division, AEF, near Limey, France, during the opening of the St. Mihiel Offensive when he performed the deeds for which he was awarded the CMOH.
From his citation: "Advancing with his platoon during the St. Mihiel offensive, he was severely wounded in four places by the bursting of a high-explosive shell. Before receiving any aid for himself, he dressed the wounds of his orderly, who was wounded at the same time. He then ordered and accompanied the further advance of his platoon, although weakened by the loss of blood. His right hand and arm being disabled by wounds, he continued to fire his revolver with his left hand until, exhausted by loss of blood, he fell and died from his wounds before aid could be administered." Shortly before going into action, Wickersham penned what some consider the finest Doughhboy poem, "The Rain Drops on Your Old Tin Hat," which begins: "The mist hangs low and quiet on a ragged line of hills / There's a whispering of wind across the flat / You'd be feeling kind of lonesome if it wasn't for one thing / The patter of the raindrops on your old tin hat." There is a cenotaph in Wickersham's memory at Fairmount Cemetery, Denver, Colorado.

Surface lunge-feeding whales!
The surface was very calm and skies were sunny. A long-period ground swell was beginning to slowly fill in from the northwest, but out on the Channel it rolled gently by without much of a fuss. North of us, CentralCal is forecast to receive waves as tall as 60 feet on Monday, and the big wave contest at Mavericks, north of Monterey Bay, is scheduled to take place as the ground swell builds. The Channel is protected from such monster waves by the 4 islands that parallel the shore. Today's sightings included two humpback whales and 1000 long-beaked common dolphins. The highlight was the repeated surface lunge-feeding going on by the humpbacks.
Captain Dave and the crew of the Condor Express ran west out of Santa Barbara Harbor and encountered tons of wildlife southwest of Platform Holly. All the dolphins and whales,along with California sea lions and various hungry sea birds, were closely watched as they fed upon schools of northern anchovies that, today, had come to the surface.
times. Thousands of anchovies bubbled up from beneath the surface as a pressure wave from an oncoming, open-mouthed whale sent them flying out of the water in a futile attempt to escape their fate.
It was a NatGeo kind of day.
