Gray or Roan Filly / April 21st, 2018 in KY / by Curlin out of Uno Duo
8 Starts 9
$706,714 Earnings $711,514
Obligatory, a Curlin filly homebred by Juddmonte Farms, finished fourth in her October 2020 debut and did not race again until Feb. 7, 2021. The 3-year-old filly won impressively in a one-mile race at Gulfstream Park and was elevated to stakes company for her next start at Fair Grounds. She disappointed when fourth in the Twinspires.com Fair Grounds Oaks and was shortened up to seven furlongs in her next stakes try, the Grade 2 Eight Belles Stakes Presented by Smithfield.
Sent off at 16.50-1 odds in the Eight Belles, Obligatory tracked 11 opponents in last heading into the far turn before moving up under Jose Ortiz. After sweeping six-wide at the top of the stretch, she took aim at leading Dayoutoftheoffice and got up late to score her first stakes win by a length.
In her next start, the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at Belmont Park on June 5, Obligatory once again rated well off the early pace, then surged wide in the stretch. Although it was an impressive rally, she ended up second, half a length behind victorious Search Results. She earned another grade 1 placing at Parx Racing on Sept. 25, when she was second in the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes behind Clairiere.
Obligatory earned another graded stakes win in the Grade 2 Chilukki Stakes at Churchill Downs on Nov. 20. She made a looping five-wide rally in the stretch to win by 2 1/4 lengths.
Obligatory is out of the stakes-winning Macho Uno mare Uno Duo and from the family of French Group 1 winner Etoile Montante and U.S. graded stakes winners Starformer, Bonny South and Country Grammer.

Infrastructure as a code is the management of infrastructure such as network, virtual machines, load balancers and other resources in a descriptive model using the same versioning as development teams uses for source code. Like the principle that source code generates binary, the infrastructure as code model generates environments.
Build Automation is automating the software build process. One of the main practice in this area is Continuous Integration. It aims to educate developers to use centralized source control system, do frequent check-ins (integrations) to the main code-base and receive immediate feedback of the result.
Deployment automation allows to deploy software across various environments used in the development process (Development, Staging and Production ones). Having it in place you could deploy more reliable and efficient. The mainstream in this area is Continuous Deployment – a practice of incrementally and frequently pushing new updates to production to speed up the delivery process and provide the necessary value to the end customer.
The deployment automation extends the build automation by adding the needed mechanics to deploy code on multiple environments upon certain conditions.

Stožerna zgrada (njem. Stabsgebäude) ili Stožerna palača (tal. Palazzo stabale) impozantna je građevina na puljskoj rivi izgrađena u drugoj polovini 19. stoljeća kada je Carevina Austrija odabrala Pulu za svoju glavnu ratnu luku. Od svoje izgradnje pa do početka 2000-ih zgrada je služila kao sjedište zapovjedništava ratnih mornarica država koje su upravljale Pulom tijekom tog razdoblja. Zbog toga se često naziva i Palačom vojne komande ili kratko Komanda, dok je česti naziv Admiralitet pogrešan jer se Lučki admiralat nalazio u današnjoj zgradi Uljanikove uprave. Austrijski vojni inženjeri i arhitekti projektirali su Palaču vojne komande kao jedan od prvih velikih objekata koji su u Puli nastajali pod utjecajem bečkoga romantičnoga historicizma.

U zgradi se donedavno nalazilo Zapovjedništo HRM-a za sjeverni sektor, koje se prema planovima premjestilo u lučicu Vergarolu zajedno s čitavim vojnim osobljem na području Pule. U zgradi su se potom smjestili uredi Istarske županije, te carinske i porezne uprave. Kako je zgrada dosta prostrana, planira se i otvaranje spomen-sobe o bogatoj pomorskoj povijesti Pule na jednom od triju katova Stožerne zgrade.

Pod krutim telom se podrazumeva zamišljen mehanički sistem od velikog broja materijalnih tačaka, čija se međusobna rastojanja ne menjaju tokom vremena bez obzira da li telo miruje ili se kreće. Tokom kretanja svaka njegova tačka opisuje svoju putanju. U slučaju rotacionog kretanja sve tačke opisuju kružne putanje u ravnima koje su normalne na osu rotacije i čiji se centri nalaze na toj osi. Iz ovog se može primetiti sledeće: a) tačke koje pripadaju osi rotacije ostaju nepokretne za sve vreme kretanja tela; b) da svaka tačka tela ima svoju putanju, brzinu i ubrzanje, usled čega ove veličine ne mogu da posluže za određivanje kretanja celog tela; c) da se radijus vektori svih tačaka (vektor povučen iz centra odgovarajuće kružnice u datu tačku) zaokrenu za isti ugao Δφ u toku rotacije. Ugao Δφ naziva se ugao zaokreta ili ugaoni pomeraj celog krutog tela.

Ugaoni pomeraj

Ugaoni pomeraj uzima se kao jedna od kinematičkih karakteristika rotacionog kretanja krutog tela, jer je isti za sve njegove tačke. Da bi smo definisali kretanje, vezaćemo za osu rotacije z-osu Dekartovog pravouglog koordinatnog sistema i smatraćemo da je smer rotacije tela pozitivan ako ugaoni pomeraj raste od nepomične ravni I u smeru koji je suprotan smeru obrtanja kazaljke na satu (za posmatrača koji gleda iz pozitivnog smera z-ose) a da je negativan – ako raste u smeru obrtanja kazaljke na satu.

Pri rotaciji tela veličina ugaonog pomeraja Δφ raste u toku vremena po zakonu:
 Δφ = φ(t)

Funkcija koja u odnosu na datu osu određuje položaj tela u svakom trenutku smatra se da je jednoznačna, neprekidna i diferencijabilna u toku celog kretanja.

Da bi ugaoni pomeraj definisao rotaciju tela mora se prikazati kao uslovni vektor:
 Δφ ⃗ = Δφ ⋅ ω ⃗0

Intenzitet vektora Δφ ⃗ je brojno jednak ugaonom pomeraju Δφ , pravac se poklapa sa osom rotacije a smer je na onu stranu odakle se vidi da se rotacija vrši u pozitivnom smeru. Vektor ω ⃗o je ort ose rotacije. Treba naglasiti da se samo vrlo mali ugaoni pomeraji 𝑑φ mogu tretirati kao vektori, jer podležu vektorskom sabiranju odnosno vektorskoj algebri

Pored ugaonog pomeraja kinematičke karakteristike obrtanja krutog tela oko nepokretne ose su još i ugaona brzina ω i ugaono ubrzanje α .

Ugaona brzina

Srednja ugaona brzina (za dati vremenski interval) jednaka je količniku priraštaja ugaonog pomeraja i vremenskog intervala u kojem je taj priraštaj nastao.
 ω ⃗sr = (Δφ ⃗)/Δt

Granična vrednost količnika Δφ ⃗ / Δ𝑡 , kada Δ𝑡 teži nuli , naziva se trenutna ugaona brzina ,
 ω ⃗= lim Δt→0 (Δφ/Δt)

Prema ovoj jednačini se vidi da je ugaona brzina tela jednaka prvom izvodu vektora pomeraja po vremenu. Vektor ugaone brzine ω ⃗ ima intenzitet jednak 𝑑φ / 𝑑𝑡 , pravac duž ose rotacije tela, a smer joj se određuje po pravilu desnog zavrtnja. Odnosno to je vektor kolinearan sa vektorom ugaonog pomeraja , pa se može predstaviti u obliku :
 ω ⃗ = ω ⋅ ω ⃗0

Rotacija tela sa konstantnom ugaonom brzinom ω ⃗ = const naziva se jednako rotaciono kretanje – periodično kretanje.

Ugaono ubrzanje

Definicija
Pri neravnomernom obrtanju tela oko nepokretne ose, ugaona brzina je promenljiva. Promena vektora ugaone brzine u nekom intervalu vremena Δ𝑡 naziva se srednje ugaono ubrzanje:
 α ⃗sr = (Δω ⃗)/Δt

Granična vrednost kojoj teži odnos (Δω ⃗)/Δt , kad Δ𝑡 teži nuli, naziva se trenutnim ugaonim ubrzanjem:
 α ⃗ =lim(Δt⟶0)((Δω ⃗)/Δt)= (dω ⃗)/dt = dω/dt ⋅ (ω0 ) ⃗
jer je ω ⃗ 0 = const.

Dakle, ugaono ubrzanje obrtnog tela jednako je prvom izvodu vektora ugaone brzine po vremenu.

Vektor ugaonog ubrzanja α ⃗ leži na osi rotacije kao i vektor ugaone brzine, a njegov smer zavisi od znaka priraštaja ugaone brzine. Ako je obrtanje tela ubrzano onda se smer vektora ugaonog ubrzanja poklapa sa smerom vektora ugaone brzine, a ako je obrtanje usporeno onda ovi vektori imaju suprotne smerove.

Jedinica ugaone brzine je jedan radijan u sekundi ( rad/s) , dok je jedinica ugaonog ubrzanja radijan u sekundi na kvadrat ( rad/s2 ).

Primeri rotacionog kretanja tela

Ravnomerno rotaciono kretanje tela

Ako je ugaona brzina ω ⃗ tela koje rotira konstantna u nekom vremenskom intervalu, takvo rotaciono kretanje naziva se ravnomerno rotaciono . U tom slučaju, integraljenjem jednačine
 ω ⃗ = (dφ ⃗)/dt = const

možemo dobiti zakon ravnomernog obrtanja tela. Pretpostavićemo da je u početnom trenutku 𝑡=0 vrednost ugla φ = φ0 , tada integraljenjem dobijamo:
 φ = ω𝑡 + φ0

Prema tome ravnomerno rotaciono kretanje karakteriše se sledećim jednačinama:
 φ ⃗ = 0, ω ⃗ = const i φ = φ0 + ω𝑡 .

Ravnomerno ubrzano rotaciono kretanje tela

Ako je vektor ugaonog ubrzanja α ⃗ = const u nekom vremenskom intervalu, takvo kretanje tela naziva se ravnomerno ubrzanim, pa na osnovu definicije imamo:
 α ⃗ = (dω ⃗)/dt = (α0 ) ⃗ = const

Zakon ravnomerno promenljivog obrtanja tela dobijamo integraljenjem ove jednačine uz uslov da je u početnom trenutku 𝑡=0 ugaona brzina bila ω = ω0 :
 ω = ω0 + α0 𝑡

ovu jednačinu možemo napisati u obliku
 𝑑φ = ω0 𝑑𝑡 + αo 𝑡𝑑𝑡

posle njenog integraljenja sa istim početnim uslovima, dobijamo zakon promenljivog obrtanja krutog tela oko nepokretne ose u obliku
 φ = ω0𝑡 + 1/2 α0t2 + φ0

Na osnovu dobijenih jednačina vidi se analogija formula sa ravnomernim i jednako ubrzanim translatornim kretanjem.

    [Column("symptoms6")]
    public string symptom6 { get; set; }
}

Any help would be grealty appriciated!

A: the sender is a Button so this doesn't work
var LoadVirus = ((ListView)sender).SelectedItem as SavedVira;

instead do this
var btn = (Button)sender;
var selected = (SavedVira)btn.BindingContext;

also, using the same name for an instance variable and a class is confusing, I'd suggest you avoid it
SavedVira = new ObservableCollection<SavedVira>(Viralist);

A 23-mile loop trail is formed with the Manistee River Trail along the Manistee River. The loop trail can be accessed from the Marilla and Upper Branch Trailheads for the North Country National Scenic Trail and the Red Bridge and Seaton Creek accesses for the Manistee River Trail.
A new suspension footbridge across the Manistee River below Hodenpyl Dam links the Manistee River Trail on the east side of the river with a section of the national North Country Trail on the west side. This creates a 20-mile loop hiking experience where numerous wildlife and bird species are common sites. The bridge itself also allows for great viewing of brown trout and other fish species in the river, plus songbirds that live along this section of the river. To reach the bridge, go west from Mesick on M-115 two miles to Hodenpyl Dam Road, then five miles west to the Hodenpyl Dam entrance sign, then one half mile to Upper River Road, and then one-quarter mile south to the bridge site. Just beyond the Upper River Road turnoff is Hodenpyl Dam with access to a popular brown trout fishing spot below the dam.

In case you haven't noticed, the Zika virus is making lot of buzz in the press. Intentional pun aside, it's important to stay aware of all the latest developments as it can affect your well being, along with the health and welfare of your baby if you are currently pregnant.
Is there a vaccine or medicine for Zika?
No. There is no vaccine or medicine for Zika.
How can people protect themselves against Zika?
Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents (bug spray). Always follow the instructions on the label and reapply every few hours.
Eliminate mosquito breeding sites, like containers with standing water.
Visit CDC's website for more information about preventing mosquito bites.
Can pregnant and breastfeeding women use insect repellent?
Yes. Use EPA-registered insect repellents. When used as directed, these insect repellents are proven safe and effective even for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Some natural products are EPA-registered. The effectiveness of non-EPA registered insect repellents is NOT known.Insect repellents registered by the EPA can be expected to repel the mosquitoes that spread Zika, provided the EPA-approved labeling says the product is for use to protect against mosquitoes in general or against Aedes mosquitoes in particular. An example of a natural product with an EPA registration is oil of lemon eucalyptus.
Read all of the details from the CDC. And if you're currently pregnant and looking for a pediatrician, call us at Sun Pediatrics. Schedule a visit to learn more about how we can serve you.

Victor Fleming is an amazing guy. By day he's a traffic court judge in Little Rock, Arkansas. By night he teaches Law and Literature at the Bowen Law School. Yet somehow he finds the time to play golf (with a 3 handicap no less) and guitar, and to write: articles, columns, books, poems, songs, crosswords.
First published in 1969, while in high school in Greenville, Mississippi, he wrote columns for college papers at Davidson and Hollins. He's written a humor column for over 25 years; aptly titled "I Swear," it's syndicated to court and commercial newspapers that run his I Swear Crossword.
Vic's first book was Real Lawyers Do Change Their Briefs (1989), the foreword of which was co-written by his friends Hillary and Bill Clinton. In 2006 he was in the documentary Wordplay, performing an original song, "If You Don't Come Across (I'm Gonna Be Down)."
In addition to the weekly I Swear Crossword, Vic writes a puzzle each month for the Rotarian, a service club magazine with a circulation of 500,000. Over 30 of Vic's crosswords have appeared in the New York Times since his first in 2005 — many with collaborators whom he has coached to their first publication.
Along with Bonnie L. Gentry and Mel Rosen, Vic edited volumes 7 and 8 of Random House Casual Crosswords. His puzzles have also appeared in GAMES, Simon & Schuster, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today and several other venues.
Vic's been married to his wife Susan for 39 years. Their two grown children are married and living in North Carolina.

Q: Rigorous definition of relation composition Let $R$ be an $n$-ary multivalued function on $A$, and let $S_1, ..., S_n$ be a list of length $n$, each member of which is an $m$-ary multivalued function on $A$. How does one rigorously define the composition $R(S_1, ... , S_n)$?

A: Rather than thinking of an $n$-ary multivalued function on $A$ as an $(n+1)$-ary relation, let's think of it as a (genuine) function from $A^n$ to the powerset $\mathcal P(A)$ of $A$. That is, the output of a multivalued function will be a set of elements of $A$ instead of just a single element of $A$.
Now let's turn to your motivating example to get an idea of how we might want to define composition. In our setting, the multivalued square root is just a function $\mathbb R\to\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$ that sends $16$ to $\{-4,4\}$, $0$ to $\{0\}$ and $-1$ to $\emptyset$.
What is going to happen if we try to take the square root of 16 twice? Well, the first square root gives us the set $\{-4,4\}$, but how do we now carry out the second square root?
The sensible option seems to be to apply our square root function to each element of the set $\{-4,4\}$ in turn and consider the union of the two resulting sets to be the output of the composition. The square root of $-4$ is $\emptyset$ and the square root of 4 is $\{-2,2\}$, so we have that the "fourth root" of $16$ is $\emptyset\cup\{-2,2\}=\{-2,2\}$.
The empty set in this example hides the idea a bit, so maybe we should consider what happens for the square root function $\mathbb C\to\mathcal P(\mathbb C)$ instead. The square root of $1$ is $\{-1,1\}$, and the square root of this set is $\{-\mathrm i,\mathrm i\}\cup\{-1,1\}$ - the set of fourth roots of unity.
So, to answer your original question, let's define your general composition in a similar way. Let $R\colon A^n\to\mathcal P(A)$ and let $S_1,\dotsc,S_n\colon A^m\to\mathcal P(A)$. Then we'll define $R(S_1,\dotsc,S_n)$ to be the function $A^m\to\mathcal P(A)$ sending $a=(a_1,\dotsc,a_m)$ to
$$\bigcup_{b_i\in S_i(a)}R(b_1,\dotsc,b_n).$$
In other words, the multivalued function $R(S_1,\dotsc,S_n)$ takes the value $c$ at $a$ if and only if there exist $b_1,\dotsc,b_n\in A$ for which $R$ takes the value $c$ at $(b_1,\dotsc,b_n)$ and for which each $S_i$ takes the value $b_i$ at $a$.
If you prefer to think in terms of relations, you might notice that this description is very similar to the definition of composition of binary relations.


Nipsey Hussle, a famous hip hop artist, passed away last weekend in a shooting taking place outside of a south L.A. clothing store. Hussle was a large influence in California and west coast culture.
Gang violence is frequent in parts of Los Angeles, and even more in other parts of the country. Nipsey was seen as an icon for pushing his efforts to put an end to gang violence, and for trying to bring peace into the world.
Nipsey's death caused an outpour of online posts with people paying their respects and sharing memories of their favorite rapper. A memorial was held Sunday where commotion sparked a stampede of people trying to leave the area.
Nipsey Hussle was trying to change the lives of people who were gang affiliated, and bring unity across the gangs of Los Angeles. It's saddening to see someone pass away that was trying to make a difference.
It's heartbreaking to lose such a big influence, but his death will not be in vain. His death has sparked his voice to become louder, and has spread peace to the public. Recently, Snoop Dogg spoke out and asked for the Bloods and Crips to make peace.

Synthetic polymers — think plastic and its chemical cousins — are among the foundations of modern life. The ubiquity of such petroleum-based materials has everything to do with their combination of strength, flexibility and chemical inertness, the last being a characteristic that also makes them durable. Given the environmental impact of plastics and the fact that petroleum deposits are finite, one grand challenge is to develop new sustainable bio-based, high-performance alternatives to petroleum-based polymers. Harnessing nature to create these materials will be an enormous undertaking, requiring a dramatic change in how polymers are made.
To support such an effort, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has named UC Santa Barbara and UCLA joint partners in the BioPolymers, Automated Cellular Infrastructure, Flow, and Integrated Chemistry: Materials Innovation Platform (BioPACIFIC MIP). The five-year, $23.7 million collaboration is part of the NSF Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP) Program and has a scientific methodology reflecting the broad goals of the Materials Genome Initiative, which aims to develop new materials "twice as fast at a fraction of the cost." BioPACIFIC MIP is one of two MIPs awarded this year, the second being led by Virginia Tech and the University of Georgia (GlycoMIP).
"We are extremely honored and pleased to have been named the lead institution in this NSF Materials Innovation Platform grant to develop novel soft materials," said UC Santa Barbara Chancellor Henry T. Yang. "This exciting project recognizes and leverages several complementary, overlapping areas of expertise at UC Santa Barbara and UCLA, and significantly expands our existing longtime partnership established through our respective California Nanosystems Institutes. This new MIP project holds great promise in terms of addressing the grand challenge of discovering high-performing polymeric replacements for petroleum-based materials. I congratulate Director and Principal Investigator Javier Read de Alaniz, Co-PI Craig Hawker, and all of our participating colleagues, both on our campus and at UCLA, on this very proud moment."
"This new MIP grant is a major milestone for our campus," said Rod Alferness, dean of the UCSB College of Engineering. "It recognizes and builds on our strength in collaborative materials research and will enable UCSB, working with UCLA, to become an international hub for the development of new high-performance bio-based polymers that may one day favorably impact life around the globe."
"This new opportunity builds on UCSB's strengths in materials science, which is at the interface between engineering disciplines and the natural sciences," said Pierre Wiltzius, executive dean of the College of Letters & Science. "Together with our partners at UCLA and other users of the new tools, it will increase our footprint and knowledge in the important area of biopolymers, and in general materials relevant to biology and medicine. I am looking forward to seeing great, impactful discoveries emerge."
"NSF is excited to support this new MIP focusing on the convergence of materials research and biology on two University of California campuses," said Linda Sapochak, director of the NSF Division of Materials Research. "The BioPACIFIC MIP is designed to advance fundamental science toward sustainable material development, which is important for society."
"The MIP uses a new modality of research and education/training inspired by the Materials Genome Initiative, creates a scientific ecosystem that shares knowledge, and will welcome users nationwide when it is fully operational," said Charles Ying, NSF program director overseeing all MIPs funded by NSF.
The BioPACIFIC MIP leverages the facilities, expertise and experience of UCSB and UCLA, partners since 2000 in the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), which has headquarters at both campuses. It will include faculty and affiliates — 13 from UCSB and seven from UCLA, supported by seven scientific staff. BioPACIFIC MIP will impact a large number of students and researchers at both campuses and across the country in the fields of materials science, biology, chemistry and engineering. This next generation of researchers will share tools, samples, data, software and know-how for the acceleration and collective advancement of science and technology, with a focus on societal impact.
BioPACIFIC MIP is dedicated to identifying microorganisms that can be used as biological "factories" to generate the building blocks of bio-based plastics with superior properties to existing petroleum-based polymeric materials. It is envisioned as a closed-loop scientific system comprising every aspect of bio-based polymeric material development: design and discovery, building, testing and learning, with built-in feedback loops. Researchers will be welcomed from around the nation to develop, characterize and engineer new materials based on merging synthetic biology with material synthesis.
"Our goal is to be the bridge between fundamental and applied research, driving collaboration with industry and establishing Southern California as an economic driver for biomaterials research and innovation," said UCSB materials professor Hawker, director of the CNSI and co-PI of BioPACIFIC MIP.
"The CNSIs at UCLA and UCSB were established [in 2000] as two nodes of the same entity," said UCLA professor, CNSI Associate Director, and BioPACIFIC MIP Co-director Heather Maynard. "I see this as a perfect partnership, because we have complementary characterization tools and complementary expertise, and when we put them together, we can make a user facility that will be unprecedented in the science it will enable and the services it will provide."
Experts in biosynthesis will markedly change how yeast, fungi and bacteria use their biological factories to generate building blocks, and will work closely with experts who specialize in cutting-edge polymerization technology, material characterization and polymer physics, and simulation. Their collective know-how will be coupled with an automated, high-throughput living bioreactor platform and robotic automation to rapidly prepare libraries of bio-based polymer materials. Integration of these platforms with computer modeling and machine learning, as well as user access to a robust facility infrastructure at UCSB and UCLA, both of which house state-of-the-art fabrication, characterization and screening tools, will further the process of optimizing these plastics derived from living organisms.
"We aim for BioPACIFIC to provide users from an extensive array of academic and industry partners with the tools and technology guidance needed to make new breakthroughs in the area of biomaterial synthesis, even if they themselves do not have the necessary expertise," said Tal Margalith, executive director of the UCSB operation.
"Unlike many of our collaborative grants, which solely support on-campus efforts, BioPACIFIC will focus on building enabling tools and knowledge bases to bolster the biomaterials community across the nation and the world," said Megan Valentine, a UCSB mechanical engineering professor who leads a group within BioPACIFIC focused on characterization and structure-property relationship determination.
"Nature has an expansive range of functional building blocks, and we now know it's possible to synthesize them into better macro-materials, like polymers," said Read de Alaniz, a UCSB professor of chemistry and BioPACIFIC MIP co-PI, who also associate director of the CNSI at UCSB. "We will be extracting blocks from nature that you can't access in any other way and then using synthetic routes to combine them into materials that have properties that don't currently exist."
The BioPACIFIC MIP will serve as an innovation collaborative broken into four sections — In-House Research, External Users, Education, and Knowledge Sharing — while the scientific mission will be organized into four interconnected elements: Synthesis Biology and Living Bioreactors, Automated Synthesis/Materials, Hierarchical Computational Tools and Characterization/Structure-Property Relationship Determination.
Training the Next-generation Workforce
Another key component of the MIP is to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers in interdisciplinary biomaterials discovery and high-throughput experimentation. A focus on outreach and fellowships will bring graduate students and postdoctoral scholars into BioPACIFIC MIP facilities to receive training and help drive investigations.
The project's organizers will proactively engage budding researchers who represent the diversity of California. They plan to assemble a cohort of fellows that is at least half women and underrepresented minorities. Fellows will have access to special educational and mentorship opportunities, including a weeklong "summer school" led by experts from industry, academia and national laboratories.
"People have been wanting to move toward sustainable, bio-based polymer materials, but it's really challenging to move away from petroleum-based ones, which we already know how to engineer into high-performance materials," said Read de Alaniz. "The Holy Grail question is how do we engineer high-performance bio-based materials? That hasn't been identified yet. That is our goal."

Q: Phalcon: specific column on joined PHQL The below PHQL generates a complex resultset like it should:
$phql = "SELECT User.*, ProductUser.* "
      . "FROM ProductUser "
      . "INNER JOIN User "
      . "WHERE ProductUser.product_id = 5";

Replacing ProductUser.* with an existing column like ProductUser.id causes an error:

MESSAGE: The index does not exist in the row
  FILE: phalcon/mvc/model/row.zep
  LINE: 67

This is version 2.0.6. Is this a bug or am I making a mistake somewhere? According to the documentation it should be fine.

A: It was my mistake (expecting the row to always be an object).
I hope this helps someone because looping complex resultsets is not in the documentation.
$result = $this->modelsManager->createQuery($phql)->execute();

if ($result instanceof \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Resultset\Complex) {
    foreach ($result as $rows) {
        foreach ($rows as $row) {
            if (is_object($row)) {
                $modelData = $row->toArray());
            // this is what I needed
            } else {
                $id = $row;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: First of all you're missing the ON clause in your query.
Anyways, it's easier and more error prone to use Phalcon's query builder for querying:
<?php

// modelManager is avaiable in the default DI
$queryBuilder = $this->modelsManager->createBuilder();
$queryBuilder->from(["product" => 'Path\To\ProductUser']);

// Inner join params are: the model class path, the condition for the 'ON' clause, and optionally an alias for the table
$queryBuilder->innerJoin('Path\To\User', "product.user_id = user.id", "user");

$queryBuilder->columns([
    "product.*",
    "user.*"
]);

$queryBuilder->where("product.id = 5");

// You can use this line to debug what was generated
// $generatedQuery = $queryBuilder->getPhql();
// var_dump($generatedQuery);

// Finish the query building
$query = $queryBuilder->getQuery();

// Execute it and get the results
$result = $query->execute();

// Now use var_dump to see how the result was fetched
var_dump($result);
exit;

What's next for Judge Roy Bean? 'The Bachelor' returns in 2019
The Bachelor of Judges Roy Bean (Josh Groban) has already begun the process of leaving the show, which is reportedly set to premiere in 2019.
While the details have yet to be made public, he is reportedly being kept under wraps to avoid spoilers, which would be detrimental to the show's upcoming seventh season.
The show is already in its seventh season, which premieres on ABC on January 6.
Bean is reportedly on his way out due to the amount of money he's made during his time on the show.
However, if there is a downside to the move, it would be that he would have to leave behind a major character who was arguably the show in the early part of the showrunner's tenure.

EU cannot ignore history in Balkans enlargement
Flag of former Yugoslavia, which broke up in the early 1990s (Photo: Nicolas Raymond)
By Dessislav Valkanov
Plovdiv, 4. Jan, 07:11
Few subjects are more obscure than Balkan history. It is a complex accumulation of facts and stories of bloodshed which mean nothing to an outsider, unless the violence erupts afresh to offer exciting news stories.
Understandably, only a handful of people could make sense of the recent row between Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
So perhaps it will be helpful to explain the historical background of the dispute, discuss the reasons for Bulgaria's stubbornness, and a possible way forward.
Put briefly, the Bulgarian government does not want to change Macedonian identity or Macedonian language, as some have said. It wants to clear a huge mass of falsifications and lies which were generated first by Serbian and then by Yugoslav communist propaganda.
This propaganda was part of the very making of the new socialist republic of Macedonia in 1945 and remained intact after the country's independence in 1991.
Threatened by nearby wars and uncertainties, North Macedonia did not have time to change.
As a result, the explosive mix of ideology, nationalism, and totalitarian methods is still in force today.
The thing that annoys Bulgarians the most is their portrayal as "Tartar, Turkish Mongol fascists, and occupiers".
This is not an obsolete piece of 1950s propaganda. It is a current and very present image constantly projected in countless pieces in Macedonian media: TV stations, newspapers, radio, websites, films, documentaries, etc.
It is deeply entrenched in the Macedonian school system, where every single reference to common historical and cultural legacy is erased.
I mean literally erased: If a document or a book from the Middle Ages, the 1800s, or the 1900s had "Bulgarian" in its title, Macedonian historians would have it removed and publish the redacted title as the authentic one in their schoolbooks.
One example is a collection of folksongs by the Miladinov brothers published in 1861 as "Bulgarian national songs from Macedonia". The book, celebrated as a milestone of Macedonian identity, is published in Skopje under the patriotically improved title of "Collection of national songs".
The same was done with the work of Stefan Verkovich: "National songs of the Macedonian Bulgarians" was replaced by "Macedonian folksongs".
The novels of Dimitar Talev were translated with whole pages cut out if the simple replacement of "Bulgarian" with "Macedonian" in the text did not work. The case, made public by his son, reached the European Parliament in 2016.
Examples like this go on and on, from any period and for any historical figure.
The Bulgarian government was aware of all this, but gave support to the new reformist government of North Macedonian prime minister Zoran Zaev.
Instead of pressing Skopje then, it signed a Friendship Treaty in 2017 and helped with the North-Macedonian entry in Nato.
The historical issues between the two countries were to be solved by a joint committee of historians which had to serve as a sort of Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to use an analogy from South Africa.
It had to discuss everything openly: publish original documents, clear the manipulations, and remove the layers of propaganda and hate.
The commission did no such thing. The talks lasted until the entry into Nato was officially ratified in 2019. Then they were stopped and resumed only 11 months later after strong Bulgarian pressure.
The few voices of moderation in North Macedonia, such as former foreign minister Denko Maleski or former prime minister Ljubcho Georgievski, were caught up in accusations of treason.
The historical facts they presented were never mentioned again in the media.
No glasnost
The message of what Georgievski calls North Macedonia's "deep state" was clear: There is to be no Glasnost and Perestrojka moment in North Macedonia.
All of this could have been somehow accepted by the Bulgarian government, were it not for the fact there are nearly 2m Bulgarians of Macedonian descent in the country.
One-third of the population of Sofia consists of descendants of refugees from Macedonia, who fled the waves of repression of Bulgarian communities, churches, and schools.
The people who fled were teachers, writers, officers, and rebels. Their names populate the schoolbooks in North Macedonia, cleaned of every reference to their Bulgarian identity.
Theoretically, the presence of these people could have served as a bridge. Instead, their voices are treated as a threat.
Their insistence on the importance of historical truth is presented by Skopje as Bulgaria's attack on the right of self-determination of the North Macedonian nation.
Admittedly, acting otherwise would be very hard for the North Macedonian leaders.
They are not responsible for setting up the propaganda machine. They do not want to be the ones to dismantle it and expose a large part of the cultural elite of the country. So they chose the easier path: evasion, manoeuvering, and all-out diplomatic war with the enemy, the Bulgarians.
I believe it is high time Europe made cultural and historical dialogue part of its enlargement process in the Balkans.
The countries of the Western Balkans need healing after decades of ideology, nationalism, and hate.
Their weak educational institutions and meagre cultural budgets cannot be expected to cope. Europe needs to use its impressive experience in healing and mediation.
North Macedonia should be just a first step in this process.

Germany apologises to Skopje for Bulgaria fiasco
EU restarts enlargement after French hiccup
Its language and history give North Macedonia its identity for president Stevo Pendarovski, but, for Bulgaria, neither of them are real, in a dispute holding up EU enlargement.
Germany and EU institutions have voiced dismay over Bulgaria's ongoing veto on North Macedonia accession talks.
The EU has agreed to open accession talks with two Western Balkan states in a "strategic" move to be rubber-stamped on Wednesday (25 March).


Effective Meetings: How to conduct Effective Meetings in an Organization?
A meeting is a gathering of people with one or more goals to be achieved. Meetings can be held in a variety of locations. They may be held for a variety of reasons each with their own particular impact on the organization and the attendees. Overall, meetings should be seen and used as effective vehicles for action and performance.
There are many benefits that arise from the use of meetings in an organisation, provided that the meetings are effective and focused. This makes us ask the question – what makes meetings work?
• Clarifying the understanding of what a meeting actually is.
• Examining different types of meeting and choosing the most suitable.
• Identifying and applying key skills and techniques.
• See the real value of an effective meeting process.
• Set objectives for meetings and focus on achieving great outcomes.

Goodyear India will pay its parent for services in the areas of information technology, procurement, production, supply chain, sales and marketing, finance and general administration. Besides, this will include a part of the expense incurred for all subsidiaries of the parent company in the Asian region, which will be duly shared as per regulations.
What does this imply? From an investor standpoint, it shaves off the operating profit to that extent. Going by fiscal year 2008 financial results, the company had clocked revenues of Rs922 crore with an operating profit of around Rs45 crore.

The company, which has an 80-year-old presence in India, is known for superior innovation thanks to its parent Goodyear Tire and Rubber, based in Ohio, US. For instance, tyre dealers state that despite the recession the company had launched a flurry of new products and variants in the Indian market across vehicular segments this year. This was perhaps in line with the parent company's global initiative to launch nearly 57 products so far in 2009, against its target of 50.
In a corporate presentation, Goodyear highlighted industry growth in 2010, especially in markets for tyres with high value-added features, larger rim diameters and fuel-efficient technology. Analysts also point out that the two major growth engines for the company would be India and China, besides a few other emerging markets such as Latin America and Africa. During 2009, Goodyear India's growth is a part of the Asia-Pacific growth story, which has been the highest among all regions during the year so far. In the medium term, therefore, robust revenue growth and cost rationalization measures could well absorb the reimbursement of expenses to the parent company.
For the nine months ended September, Goodyear India's earning per share of Rs27 was double that of the year-ago period. Low liquidity, however, has led to low institutional interest in the stock. Of the equity capital of Rs23.07 crore, about 74% is held by the promoters.

The Roadless Area Final Rule: Conservation or Preservation?
Categories: Ecology
In 1978, the United States Forest Service (USFS) began the management of roadless areas, i.e., all areas greater than 5,000 acres and without constructed roads, in a study called Roadless Area Review and Evaluation II (RARE 11). The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of these roadless areas for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. On October 13, 1999, twenty-one years later, President Clinton directed the Forest Service to provide long-term protection to inventoried roadless areas, as well as smaller roadless areas not yet inventoried.

President Clinton's primary motives in initiating this direction were to reduce the $8.4 billion backlog of road maintenance costs as well as provide a definitive statement on how inventoried roadless areas would be managed in the future. The USFS developed a plan for future management of all roadless areas known as the Final Roadless Area Conservation Rule (Roadless Rule) and released it on January 5, 2001. The Roadless Rule, scheduled to become federal policy on May 12, 2001, will have significant environmental, economical, and social impacts on 58 million acres of public land.
One of the major effects of the Roadless Rule is the impact it will have on the nation's timber supply. Because road construction and timber harvesting will be prohibited on 58.5 million acres of National Forest lands, approximately 30% of all National Forest System (NFS) lands (USDA Summary S-1) under the Roadless Rule, this prohibition will result in an annual loss of 140 million board feet (USDA FEIS 2-26). Although twenty-one states will be affected, the majority of the losses will occur in the states of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah.

In fact, Alaska alone will lose 76.6 million board feet of timber annually (USDA FEIS B-5). The current timber program in Alaska averages 179 million board feet annually.
The problem with a reduction in timber volume is that future timber demands will have to be made up from other sources, including private and international forests ("Private Forests"). Many of these lands, because they are under private ownership, are not required to adhere to the same environmental regulations that the USFS lands are governed by (Bartuska 4). For example, timber companies are allowed to harvest trees to within 50 feet of streams whereas the USFS requires that a buffer of at least 300 feet be maintained. One of the largest differences in regulations pertains to clearcutting. The USFS limits clearcuts to 40 acres, whereas private landowners have no size restrictions. Without regulations, problems such as massive clear-cutting and erosion can occur. In essence, the impacts associated with commercial logging will not be reduced or eliminated by the moratorium on logging and road construction; rather, they will be transferred to a different land base and, more likely, amplified.
Another valuable resource that would be adversely impacted by the Roadless Rule is leasable minerals. Although these resources are less notable on a national scale, they are still important in isolated areas due to their economic contributions to local communities. In eastern Utah and western Colorado there are over 60,000 acres of inventoried Roadless areas that contain an estimated 308 million-1.3 billion tons of coal (USDA FEIS Table 3-51). Colorado and Utah are just small examples of the total 30 billion tons of coal on National Forest lands (USDA FEIS 3-316). In addition to coal, vast resources of oil and gas reserves will be restricted from exploration due to the Roadless rule. There are potential oil and gas reserves on over 7.6 million acres of inventoried Roadless areas (USDA FEIS 3-255). Another major mineral that would be affected by the Roadless Rule is phosphate. An estimated 873.3 million tons of phosphate would be locked up on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in southwest Idaho (USDA FEIS 3-258).
Mineral losses incurred by the Roadless Rule will affect the national supply, but more specifically they will have a severe impact on the communities where minerals are actually mined. Besides the job losses caused by the restriction of mineral exploration, local communities and counties will suffer dramatic losses in payments from government leases. The USDA reports "A portion of the United States Treasury receipts is returned to States and Counties to be used for schools and roads. States receive 50% of leasable receipts on public domain lands, except in Alaska where the State receive 90%."
Due to the constant fluctuations in world oil and gas supplies, domestic sources are becoming more and more important. Even though the amount of NFS lands under oil and gas lease has been decreased by 30 million acres over the past twenty years, national consumption has increased by 14%, and is expected to increase an additional 32% in ten years (National Petroleum Council). Unlike trees, minerals, including oil, coal, and natural gas, are non-renewable resources. The prohibition of their exploration and extraction could contribute to a national energy crisis and subsequent future shortages.
Contrary to the views of many environmental groups, road construction and timber harvest do not always adversely affect forest health. The Temperate Forest Foundation concurs, stating "Active management means foresters must have a complete set of silvicultural tools, including prescribed fire and clearcutting." In nature, clearcuts are created by several factors, including wind, fire, insects, and disease. While fire is the most common tool, all of these factors can produce the same results of removing mature trees and replacing the stand with young seedlings. Many tree species, such as lodgepole pine and aspen, require a major stand-removing disturbance for natural regeneration to take place (Smith 329). Thomas H. Bonnicksen, PhD., a forest science professor at Texas A&M University, has studied ancient forest ecology for 24 years. According to Dr. Bonnicksen, "the loss of nature's clearcuts threatens the health and productivity of America's forests."
Doctor Bonnicksen continues:
Without nature's clearcuts, forests throughout America are growing thicker, and the mosaic structure that characterized the majority of ancient forests is disappearing. The most dramatic decline in forest health is in national parks, wilderness areas and other forest where timber management it prohibited. The decline in forest health is also causing a reduction in wildlife and fish habitat, [and] a decrease in biodiversity.
Clearcutting and prescribed burning are two forestry tools that can mimic the natural disturbances normally introduced by fire, insects, or other elements. By removing a stand of trees through clearcutting, or by removing dense brush and dying trees through underburning, the forest floor is now open for seedlings, much the same way fire or insects would in a natural ecosystem. Robert W. Mutch, writer for the Journal of Forestry, warns that "Many stands are so dense with dead and dying trees, salvage logging will be necessary." Mutch goes on to say "Keeping stands thinned, rapidly salvaging diseased and dying wood, and keeping the understory from becoming overstocked are important steps". As previously stated, the Final Rule will prohibit road construction and timber harvest on one-third of the nation's public forests. Without timber harvest or prescribed burning available as management tools, forest health on many of these acres will continue to decline.
By far, the most significant consequence of the Roadless Rule is the economic impact it will have on people, both directly and indirectly. The USDA estimates that 1,925 jobs will be lost due to the Roadless Rule (USDA Annual Report 37). The majority of these of jobs come from the logging, milling, manufacturing, and distribution of timber off of NFS lands, and results in a total income loss of $55,982,000 (USDA FEIS 3-301). In addition, payments to the States from the U.S. Treasury Department will decrease by $3,652,000 (USDA FEIS 3-301). These payments are used primarily to fund schools and road building. Without them, the decrease noted above will severely impact the budgets of local school districts, as well as the maintenance and construction of county roads. Local communities and schools will not be the only areas affected by the Roadless Rule. By prohibiting logging and road construction, the U.S. government will suffer a reduction of $8.3 million in lost tax revenue (USDA Annual Report 72). Although some of these figures may seem minimal in comparison to other government agencies, the exact cost of job re-training and employment relocation, as well as the loss of a way of life in many rural communities, cannot be fully quantified. While the U.S. government may eventually offset economic losses, the social impacts may never be totally mitigated.
The Roadless Rule, despite the number of negative effects, will be beneficial to the nation's forests. The quality of wildlife habitat, water, socio-economics, recreation and overall aesthetics will be improved. A 1994 survey of Americans showed that there was overwhelming support for healthy public forests and grasslands. The poll also showed support for a balance between recreation and commercial uses such as logging, mining, and grazing (USDA FEIS 3-17).
As indicated by this poll, the American public values recreational opportunities on National Forest Service lands. According to a Sierra Club report, there are 835 million visitor days on National Forests annually, whereas there are only 40 million on all the combined Disney parks (Sierra Club). This feeling is shared not only by the public, but also by Forest Service supervisors and district rangers. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) Forest Service line officers perceived the public's priority of recreation as a 9 (USDA FEIS 3-17). Under the roadless initiative, recreation associated with backcountry and trails, also known as dispersed recreation, will remain unaffected on 58.5 million acres of roadless areas (USDA Summary S-34). While the Roadless Rule prohibits road construction on these 58.5 million acres, trail construction and maintenance would still be allowed to continue (USDA FEIS 2-7).
In addition to the management of timber and recreation, the USFS is also responsible for maintaining and protecting water sources on public lands. The USFS has been able to do so with the direction given in the Organic Act of 1897 and the Creative Act of 1891 ("National Forests"). Water quality remains an important issue today. Road construction can have negative effects on water quality through the introduction of sediments, changes in water temperature, and an increase in water-nutrient levels (USDA FEIS 3-44). Roads and logging activities contribute to the majority of sedimentation on National Forests. Sedimentation, according to the Forest Service EIS, is "solid materials, both mineral and organic, in suspension or transported by water, gravity, ice, or air." In fact, up to 90 percent of the sedimentation on National Forests is attributed to roads and trails (USDA FEIS 3-45). Sediments in streams can have negative effects on aquatic species. The sediment fills in the spaces in the streambed that provide habitat for insects. This reduction in habitat causes a decrease in insect population, which is a primary food source for fish and other aquatic vertebrates (Waters 72).
In addition to the introduction of sediments, road construction and timber harvest can have negative effects on water temperature. Increases in water temperature occur when trees that provide shade are removed. Without this shade, the sun is able to heat the water, something that can be detrimental to fish species. Elon S. Verry, Ph.D., and others agree with this point, stating, "when temperatures deviate from a species' preferred range, production or reproductive success of that species will decline" (Verry et al 160).
A final positive effect of road construction and timber harvest on water quality is the elevated amounts of nutrients released into stream channels by logging waste. The breakdown of timber byproducts, such as leaves and branches, can release phosphorous, calcium, and potassium (USDA FEIS 3-50) into surrounding water. The problem with this release is that changes in aquatic plant growth can occur. Excess phosphorous in water can stimulate massive algal growth, which in turn promotes excessive bacterial growth. The decomposition done by the bacteria can consume large amounts of oxygen, thus asphyxiating many important species of fish (Gould 1175). One of the primary reasons the Forest Service was founded was to promote water quality and perpetuate a healthy source of drinking and irrigation water. The Roadless Rule has, as one of its major objectives, the goal of continuing this resource value. Prohibition of road construction and logging will help attain this goal.
The Roadless Rule, in addition to ensuring water quality, will protect critical wildlife habitat, a resource rapidly diminishing in the United States. One of the key elements that make up valuable wildlife habitat is its size. For an area of habitat to be effective it must not contain roads and timber harvesting. These two activities can cause fragmentation, the division of large tracts of land into smaller tracts of land (USDA FEIS G-5). The problem with fragmentation is that it reduces or eliminates critical habitat required by most wildlife, including such threatened and endangered species as the northern spotted owl, woodland caribou, bighorn sheep, gray wolf, and the grizzly bear (USDI Fish & Wildlife Service 1-2). Fragmentation and loss of habitat occurs not only from the road construction, but also by it's continued use by vehicles. This continued use cuts off travel lanes, hiding cover areas, and forage (feeding) areas, thereby reducing the amount of available habitat for certain species (Hoover & Wills 25). Loss of habitat and fragmentation can also occur from timber harvest, when trees serving as wildlife cover are removed, and travel lanes are interrupted. When habitat is reduced by road construction and timber harvest, the risk of extinction of a species can increase as the species becomes isolated (Sawicki 2).
Another critical aspect of roadless areas is that they contain vast amounts of old-growth forests. These types of forests are characterized by large, old trees, some with decay and damage, as well as large amounts of wood material on the forest floor (USDA FEIS G-7). All of these key elements are critical for the habitat of a variety of species. The problem faced today is that old-growth forests are disappearing at rapid rate, never to be replaced. For example, the Sierra Club reports that in the Pacific Northwest over 90 percent of old growth forests have been logged (Devall 255). Like the preservation of water quality, the Roadless Rule will help preserve wildlife habitat. In particular, large, continuous stands of old-growth forests will be protected, ensuring the perpetuity of a diverse wildlife population.
Besides the natural resource values that would be protected by the Roadless Rule, another benefit comes in the form of economic savings. To build and maintain roads requires a considerable amount of money, most of which is derived from congressionally appropriated dollars. However, as Congress continues to reduce the national debt, agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service are forced to operate on reduced budgets. In fact, the backlog on road maintenance and reconstruction alone is $8.4 billion, and the Forest Service receives only 20 percent of the funding needed to maintain the existing road system of 380,000 miles (Notice of Intent !). By prohibiting road construction, future maintenance and construction costs will be reduced (USDA Summary S-33).
In addition to road construction and maintenance, taxpayer dollars are also used to fund the Forest Service timber program. While this program was never designed to make a profit, the economic losses have grown dramatically in recent years. The General Accounting Office reports between 1992 and 1997, taxpayers lost $2 billion on the logging program (Sierra Club). The Roadless Rule will, by prohibiting road construction and logging, reduce this type of annual loss. The reduction of logging will not have the drastic economical impacts on timber-dependant communities that some of the public perceive. In fact, communities like Darby and Columbia Falls, Montana, both of which have experienced a 90 percent decrease in timber harvests from adjacent National Forests, have experienced population growths of 51 and 44 percent respectively (Power).
The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has some beneficial effects, both environmental and economical. However, resulting the negative impacts far outweigh the positive effects. Without roads and timber harvest, proper forest management cannot occur, resulting in a decline of both forest health and the aesthetic qualities so valued by supporters of the Roadless Rule. Also, there will be adverse economic impacts at the local, state, and federal levels due to the loss of thousands of jobs and of millions of dollars generated by the resources located on these roadless areas. The economic and scientific data show that to execute the Final Roadless Area Conservation Rule would demonstrate poor judgment and a disregard for proper ecosystem management.

It looks like T-Series forgot to take down some songs of Pakistani artists from their YouTube Channel
India based record label T-Series has recently unlisted some latest songs of artists from Pakistan amid tensions between the two countries following a terror attack in Occupied Kashmir's Pulwama district.
The decision was taken by T-Series after a far right political party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), pressurised record labels and music companies to stop working with Pakistani singers.
"We have verbally communicated to Indian music companies like T-Series, Sony Music, Venus, Tips Music etc to not work with Pakistani singers. These companies should stop it immediately or we will take action in our own style," said MNS Chitrapat Sena head Amey Khopkar.
Atif Aslam's latest song 'Baarishein' has been taken off the YouTube channel. Unlisting a video from T-Series essentially means it will not come up in search results but those that already had the direct link can view it.
We had a good look at T-Series' YouTube channel and found that the following videos were still searchable. Did T-Series purposely leave this on or just forgot to take them down?
The best of Atif Aslam - Top 10 Bollywood songs
O Saathi Lyrical Video - Baaghi 2
Tumhe Dillagi By Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Darasal - by Atif Aslam from the movie Raabta
Atif Aslam - Pehli Dafa
Mere Rashke Qamar - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Atif A: Dekhte Dekhte from Batti Gul Meter Chalu
From what it seems like, T-Series is trying to keep happy the far right by removing the latest songs which are more noticeable by viewers. This is contrary to what most news headlines are stating that a blanket ban has been imposed and all music has been removed.


Please note that for this show there will be names on tickets. ID will be required that matches the surname on the ticket to enter the arena.
Snow Patrol have confirmed that they will return to The O2 on 26 January 2019.

Will The Internet Run Out Of Space In The Next 4 Years?

Hexadecimal bitches
Every time you buy a domain name like io9.com, it's given a unique numerical IP address on the internet. But what happens when the well of numbers runs dry? We're about to find out.
Ars Technica has created a great chart showing the rate at which countries are snapping up IP addresses, which are used to identify not just domain names but individual computers and networks. These addresses, assigned under the IP version 4 system (IPv4) are not very long, and thus their numbers are limited and are running out.
Ars Technica's Iljitsch van Beijnum writes:
There are 3,706,650,624 usable IPv4 addresses. On January 1, 2000, approximately 1,615 million (44 percent) were in use and 2,092 million were still available. Today, ten years later, 2,985 million addresses (81 percent) are in use, and 722 million are still free. In that time, the number of addresses used per year increased from 79 million in 2000 to 203 million in 2009. So it's a near certainty that before Barack Obama vacates the White House, we'll be out of IPv4 address. (Even if he doesn't get re-elected.)
Luckily there's a solution to this dilemma, which is that the groups who hand out IP addresses are switching to a new standard, IPv6, whose addresses are longer. That means many hundreds of thousands more addresses. Essentially, it's like adding area codes to phone numbers in order to create more.
Van Beijnum continues:
The good news is that although a hundred thousand times more IPv6 than IPv4 space has been given out, 99.974 percent of it is still available. So after taking the IPv4-to-IPv6 transition hurdle somewhere between the next Olympics and the next presidential elections, the Internet has ample room to continue growing.
Here's the hidden catch, though. Because there are so many addresses under IPv6, it will be a lot easier to identify people online by looking at their IP address. Right now, your address is often obscured because your computer is on a network of some kind that supplies its own IP instead of your unique one - but after IPv6, your computer's address will be visible to the world wide interblags. Oh so convenient!
