The impact of the Masonic fraternity in the United States is without question, immense. Attending my daughters FFA banquet tonight, I could not help but notice the similarities in the opening ritual of the meeting, to that of the blue lodge.
Just like in a lodge meeting, the FFA officers have stations about the room. The President, who presides over the meeting, opens by asking the Vice-President if all the officers are their stations. The VP responds "I shall call the roll of officers, determine if they are at their stations and report back to you, Mr./Mdm. President."
The VP responds: "The rising sun is the token of a new era in agriculture. If we will follow the leadership of our president, we shall be led out of the darkness of selfishness and into the glorious sunlight of brotherhood and cooperation. Mr./Mdm. President, all officers are at their stations."
The FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America), is one of the premier youth organizations in the USA and is a student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership. The FFA has surged in membership in recent years, with new chapters being formed in high schools across the US.
The group was founded in September 1925 by Henry C. Groseclose, Edmond C. McGill, H.W. Sanders and Walter S. Newman, who lived Virginia. Groseclose was an agriculture teacher at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and originally named it the FFV – Future Farmers of Virginia. The program took off very quickly and become a national organization in the years after and was renamed the Future Farmers of America (FFA).
Groseclose developed the ceremonies and instituted 3 degrees within the program through which the students could advance; Greenhand, Virginia Farmer and Virginia Planter. Unique to the organization as well was the office of Sentinel, who guards the door.
I am a proud FFA alumni member myself of the St. Joseph – Ogden Chapter.
In an attempt to show other similarities I offer our court system for consideration. The judge sits in a seat higher than anyone else in the courtroom, holds a gavel which when used usually consists of three distinct knocks. "All rise" is said when the judge enters the courtroom and the judge is introduced as "the honorable...". Before a person testifies they are instructed to raise their hand (in the case of court, it is your right hand not the left) in similar fashion of the FC degree and the other hand used to be placed on a Holy Bible. A short question asked if "you to promise and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" In courtrooms the SD could be the Bailiff, and so on. BTW, when Harry Truman was sworn in (twice) as President good old " give 'em hell Harry" took the obligation in the due form of an FC. The first time Harry was sworn in he was admonished before the obligation that he had it backwards. Harry replied something like; "Sir, this position will be much more binding to myself, go forward please". So in strong agreement, Freemasonry can be found throughout American culture and even in our vernacular. IE: Is that guy on the level? Take him downtown and give him the third degree!
On a personal note, the day my wife and I were married I was pulled over for driving too fast. I was speeding because we were late and had to meet the Pastor at a waterfall over Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe. As the officer started to walk away with my license and rental car information I stuck my head out the window asking " Is there no h f t w s?". Cheerfully, the officer responded, "Not today!". When he came back with the citation he told me I was well past 20 over the posted speed, but he wrote me for 12 over. He then proceeded to tell me he was going off duty and the next patrol unit wouldn't be on station for over 45 minutes, congratulations on your marriage, and drive safe, all the while smiling with a smile only a brother would share.
Is Freemasonry a part of the fabric of our country and society? Hell yes it is!

'American Pie' star Shannon Elizabeth says this scene wouldn't have made it after #MeToo

"American Pie" remains a classic after turning 20 this week, but actress Shannon Elizabeth believes some parts of the coming-of-age comedy haven't aged well.
One iconic scene in the 1999 film features her character Nadia being filmed without consent while changing in the bedroom of Jason Biggs' character, Jim Levenstein. He was trying to lose his virginity with her before high school graduation to complete a pact with his friends.
"If this had come out after the #MeToo movement, there would definitely be a problem," Elizabeth, 45, told Page Six.
After Jim accidentally broadcasts the webcam stream to his entire high school, the foreign exchange student is sent back to Slovakia. Levenstein – and his friends who were behind the recording – get off scot-free.
Today, "I think that it would have gone down differently," the actress said, after recalling, "Gosh, do I get sent home?"
A post shared by SHANNON ELIZABETH (@shannonelizabeth) on Jul 9, 2019 at 1:28pm PDT
Elizabeth also discussed precautions the crew took to make her as comfortable as possible while filming the controversial "Pie" scene, which turned her into a sex symbol.
"It was a closed set and it was just me in this room and the boom guy above me," she said. "I was like, 'This is so weird.' It was square room they had built in the middle of a warehouse and we made everyone that didn't need to be there leave set. That's the main thing I remember, just me and the boom guy, and trying to make jokes with the directors and make light of it, because if I wasn't nervous maybe they wouldn't be so nervous … I just tried to make it no big deal."

Despite the awkward memory, Elizabeth credits the film with launching her acting career. She celebrated the film's 20-year anniversary on Instagram Tuesday.
"Happy 20th #americanpie !! Thank you for being such a big part of my life…then, now & always!" she captioned a throwback picture of the cast. "It's hard to even believe it's been that long. It truly feels like last week, or last month. But 20 years? No way."
She continued: "This film is all about you – the way you can relate to a character, or an experience. That's the beauty of the stories we told. Okay, maybe my storyline was a bit 'out there'. But it was fun none-the-less. Growing up is never easy. But hopefully a bunch of laughs along the way helped."

2008 Regional Award Finalist — Faculty
Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics & Systems Biology

Areas of research interest and expertise: Biophysics, Molecular Biology, Genomics, Systems Biology, Computational Biology and Medicine
PhD, Biophysics, Harvard University
BS, Physics, University of Utah
Saeed Tavazoie's research is focused on understanding how cells adapt to changes in their external environments through modulation of gene expression.
In his lab, Dr. Tavazoie and his team have used computational methods to decode the genomic elements that drive adaptive transcriptional responses. Their work has revealed the nuts and bolts of transcriptional and post-transcriptional reprogramming in terms of the identity and functional configurations of nucleic-acid regulatory elements that bind transcription-factors, microRNAs, and RNA-binding proteins. In recent work they have discovered a significant contribution to post-transcriptional reprogramming by small RNA-stem-loop elements and the RNA-binding proteins that recognize them. They have shown that these are regulators of specific pathways, including those subserving pathological processes such as tumor-invasion and metastasis. By utilizing theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches, work from his lab has revealed surprising new phenomena in cellular adaptation. For example, they have shown that much of cellular behavior in the laboratory cannot be explained by classic homeostasis and that cells often make short-term predictions about the future trajectory of their environments.
Saeed Tavazoie believes that biology thus far has been about the process of thoroughly describing organisms by breaking them down to their individual components and characterizing them in precise detail. It is the interaction of these components in the context of their systems that captivates his current research.
"My scientific career has been shaped by the expectation that there are undiscovered organizing principles that underlie the operation and evolution of biological systems. My goal is to find those things. That's what drives my research."

Paper comes in so many patterns and colors, but sometimes simply the texture of a paper can be exactly what you need to set a certain tone in your next art piece. For instance, if you wanted to complement nature photography, you could use the earthy tone and texture of a charcoal paper or a textured art paper. Even the exposed insides of corrugate can help translate your earthy vision and add that extra visual layer.
Maybe you are going for a more urban feel. Try cutting out building landscapes from paper with a rough texture for a brick or stone effect. Or, if you are building a 3-dimensional paper project, sometimes it is the paper that can make or break the project. Try printing your next project on textured paper to give it a tactile feel. Or cut details out of textured paper and glue them onto your 3-D art piece to add an extra dimension.
Some artists even create their own texture in paper, by using rubbing or scratching techniques onto the surface of papers. However you choose to use texture in your next art project, it can help set the tone or accentuate the feeling for your whole piece.

GreatLife KC is excited to partner up with PGA Professional, John Rawdon. John is at the top of his Industry, a lifetime member of the PGA and a "Certified Professional", which is one step away from the ultimate achievement ……MASTER PROFESSIONAL, PGA.
Born in 1964 in Wichita, Kansas, he played golf every day possible from the early age of 5 years old. He attended Plattsburg High School in Missouri and then on to William Jewel College. He also studied abroad at Harlaxton in Grantham, England before graduating at Northwest Missouri State University in 1987. He received a B.S. in Elementary Education with a minor in Coaching. In 1986 he started his career at Paradise Pointe Golf Course in Smithville, Missouri and was elected to membership of the PGA in 1991.
John later leased a facility in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and further honed his skills as a golf professional. He became the Head Golf Coach for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blue Gold Women's Golf Program, and twice received Coach of the Year Honors in his collegiate division. While in Wisconsin, he also became the Lead Instructor at the Nike Camp in Stephens Point.
Helping others enjoy the game has always been his ultimate goal. And throughout his life, John has always been especially proficient with the younger generation of golfers. Juniors are his true passion, they are a key part of his motivation and drive for the game. He has coached, taught, and mentored countless students in District, Sectional, and State Competition. He has taken pride in seeing those students succeed in golf, and also succeed in life.
Following a playing career as a touring professional, Chad Habluetzel spent over fifteen years in research and development cultivating the belief that properly developed potential can lead to talent, and talent transformed into skill can evoke confidence, and confidence under the microscope of competition can build champions. Out of this process arose IncreMental Golf: the novel application of various motor learning approaches to the instruction of golf.
As the author of three books detailing the direct connection between motor learning and golf instruction and the former co-founder and director of instruction of a leading university-level golf biomechanics lab as well as the Director of Golf for the Tom Watson Golf Academy, Chad has coached and consulted players who have gone on to achieve All-American, All-Conference, and Championship recognition at the NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NJCAA levels.
Chad is the creator and lead instructor of the IncreMental Golf® School for Parkinson's at Overland Park Racquet Club. The school provides an instructional training program specifically for those battling Parkinson's disease. A golf swing, properly instructed, places significant demands on the body that help maintain and build balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. Students of the school work to improve their golf swing using simple, relatively lightweight items while at the same time challenging and stimulating their body through the motor learning process. The school is suitable for both golfers and non-golfers alike.
As the Director of Instruction of the IncreMental Golf® Chip-Pitch-Putt Academy at Deer Creek Golf Club, Chad uses a holistic approach to scoring skill analysis that allows for a constant focus on refinement and improvement. Every lesson, regardless of skill level, is a scoring lesson. Scoring lessons are the only lessons where the student can walk away the day of instruction and be a significantly improved player.

DSME's icebreaking LNG carrier nears completion
Sophie Davies reports on DSME's latest Arc7 ice-class LNG carrier, designed to navigate the icebound waters of the Russian Arctic and an innovation central to the success of the country's Yamal LNG plant
The world's first icebreaking LNG carrier, known as Christophe de Margerie, is reportedly nearing completion at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) yard in South Korea, and is set to herald a new era in LNG shipping.
The 172,000 cubic metre vessel, the first of 15 such tankers currently being built at the yard, is on order by Russian maritime shipping company Sovcomflot. It will be used to ship gas from the giant US$26.9 billion Yamal LNG project, located in the northeastern section of the Siberian Yamal Peninsula.
Yamal LNG is being developed by Russia's largest gas producer Novatek, which has a 60% stake in the project. France's Total and China's CNPC each also hold 20% stakes in the project. The project includes the construction of a plant capable of producing 16.5 million tonnes of LNG per year. It will consist of three trains, each with between 5 and 5.5 million tonnes of annual capacity, and each with its own LNG storage facilities.
The first Yamal train is expected to launch commercially in 2017.
A class of their own
Yamal's Sabetta terminal is located in the far north of the Russian Arctic, meaning that the new carriers will need to be able to proceed through thick ice all year round. The waters around Sabetta are ice-covered for approximately 300 days a year and temperatures of -40°C are not unusual during the winter months.
The new carriers being developed by DSME, each costing some US$300 million, will be able to operate in temperatures as low as -50°C, owing to new anti-freezing technology.
DSME, which was not available for comment when contacted by NewsBase, began experimenting with anti-freezing technology in 2008 using a 10-tonne oil tanker, according to local reports.
It is the particularly challenging Arctic conditions that Yamal presents that make the new breed of icebreaking LNG carriers necessary. There are already 11 ice-class LNG carriers in service; however, none are capable of moving through the thickness of ice necessary to service Yamal.
The existing vessels – all of which are ice-class 1A or Arc4 – can only handle ice thicknesses up to 0.8 metres. However, with an enforced steel hull 25% thicker than equally-sized non ice-class vessels, forward and aft ice belts and three sets of Azipod propellers offering a total output of 45 MW, the new vessels in the DSME build-out are designed to pass continually through ice up to 2.1 metres thick. This should also ensure they do not need separate icebreaker escorts.
In addition, they all use double-acting ship (DAS) technology, which allows ice-class vessels to proceed in both open seas where ice is thin, and in full icebreaking mode. DAS was developed by Aker Arctic in 2002 for two oil tankers – Tempera and Mastera – used to transport oil from Russia's Primorsk terminal in the Baltic Sea. The design means that when in full icebreaker mode, the ship will travel stern-first.
The new vessels will also use six Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines, which are capable of handling the extremities in engine load variations that can occur when a ship passes through thick ice.
Safer passage
The ships will open up "a new trade in the Far East and European markets, with the ships capable of transiting the Northeast Passage across the north of Russia," Krispen Atkinson, principal maritime analyst at IHS Markit, told NewsBase. They are being constructed to the highest ice class capable, known as Arc7, he added.
Indeed, these carriers may well be the key to the success of the entire scheme. They are "really important" for the Yamal project, independent LNG consultant Andy Flower explained to NewsBase. However, they will only be used here in the Russian Arctic, as no other LNG project requires technology for such extreme conditions, he noted.
Arc7-class tankers are also being used by state-run Gazprom Neft to provide year-round oil transportation from the Novoportovskoye oil and gas condensate field on the Yamal Peninsula. The Russian producer announced in March it had launched the first of seven such vessels, which will each be able to carry up to 270,000 barrels of crude, more than twice the capacity of the Arc5 icebreakers currently employed by the company. Gazprom Neft concluded that this was the only viable means of exploiting Novoportovskoye's resources, given that the field is located some 700 km from the nearest liquids pipeline.
Regarding Yamal LNG, Flower cautioned that the economics of the vessels themselves would raise some doubts, as the shipping cost to Europe will be very high. Coupled with any delays in the construction schedule – the last of the 15 icebreaking vessels is currently scheduled for completion by early 2020, but the first has already been delayed by months – and the whole project outlook becomes even more questionable.
However, the LNG carriers are the "only way that Novatek can get the gas out" of Yamal, Flower added.
The only alternative would be to sell the gas in Russia via Gazprom's network of pipelines. But Gazprom would either charge a transit tariff or deny access to its grid altogether on the basis that the Yamal scheme posed a threat to its market share. Even if Novatek were able to transport the gas via pipeline easily, demand in Russia for gas is fairly weak at the moment, given the country's ongoing economic downturn. With sea and gas trials ongoing during July, Christophe de Margerie is expected to depart South Korea in October to embark on its first tests in icebound conditions, before final delivery to Sovcomflot in January 2017.

Killer Mike's biography, fact, career, awards, net worth & life story
Posted on 17/01/2022 by quản trị viên
Source of Wealth: Music, Hip HopAge: 44Birth Place: Atlanta, GeorgiaFull Name: Michael RenderNationality: United StatesDate of Birth: April 20, 1975Occupation: Hip Hop Recording ArtistEducation: Morehouse College
Killer Mike is the stage name of American hip hop recording artist and occasional actor Michael Render. He was born on April 20, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He attended Morehouse College where he met producers The Beat Bullies and Big Boi of Outkast.
Killer Mike made his music debut with a feature appearance on Outkast's Snappin' & Trappin' from the 2000 album Stankonia. It was followed by their 2001 single The Whole World, a Grammy award-winning song from Outkast's greatest hits album Big Boi and Dre Present… Outkast as well as other features including Poppin' Tags from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 2.
In 2011, the series reached another level when the third volume PL3DGE landed on the SMC/Fontana Distribution label which led to Killer Mike's current signing to Grind Time Official. He released R.A.P. Music in 2012 which was entirely produced by American rapper-producer EI-P. The two formed a duo in 2013 and called themselves Run the Jewels. They signed to Fool's Gold and released their self-titled debut in June of the same year. He has been featured in the films 20 Funerals, Idlewild and ATL.


Although the unemployment rate in many places in the country is dropping, the recent recession and jobless state that lingers for many parents is having a profound effect on children and their education, a new report says.
In "Unemployment from a Child's Perspective," the Urban Institute and First Focus note that while children could benefit from having more time with their parents at home, parents who lose their jobs can be irritable, depressed, and they may shift from parenting that is supportive to parenting that is punitive.
About 6.2 million children lived in families with unemployed parents in 2012, and that number rises to 12.1 million American children—about one in six—when including families with unemployed or underemployed parents during an average month of 2012. That's a decrease from 2010, when the figure was about 13.5 million children, but a huge increase from 2007, when the number was 7.1 million children.
One of the earliest signs that children are not doing well is their school performance. Several studies have documented lower math scores, poorer school attendance, and a higher risk of grade repetition or even suspension or expulsion among children whose parents have lost their jobs. ...[P]arental job loss increases the chances a child will be held back in school by nearly 1 percentage point a year, or 15 percent.
But the effects of parental job loss can persist as children age: The report notes that low-income youth whose parents lose a job have lower rates of college attendance. Looking back at the recession of the 1980s, boys whose fathers lost jobs when manufacturing and other plants closed at that time grew into men who had annual earnings that were about 9 percent lower than similar men whose whose fathers did not lose those jobs.
Other figures of note: Of the 6.2 million children whose parents were unemployed last year, about 2.6 million of them are white, 1.3 million are black, and 1.8 million Hispanic. About a quarter of children of the unemployed are from immigrant families. In five states, 11 percent or more of all children live in families with unemployed parents: California, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, and Rhode Island.
How educated are some of the unemployed parents? The report says that a little less than a fifth are children whose parents lack high school diplomas, three-fifths are children of high school graduates, and nearly one-quarter are children of college-educated parents. I find the fact that parents who have high school diplomas have been harder hit by unemployment than parents who haven't graduated from high school.
Depressing though this report may be, a different study uncovered signs that children appear to be showing greater resilience in the face of poverty.

Q: How to set page orientation in itextpdf HtmlConverter In database I store different html templates for pdf.
Today client ask to add landscape oriented template.
Well, now convertation works incorrect:
template is landscape and part of text out of page, because page is vertical oriented.
I used itextpdf and convertation from html to pdf looks like:
public static byte[] convertString(String htmlContent, boolean useDefaultStyles) throws IOException {
        log.debug("html {}", htmlContent == null? 0: htmlContent.length());
        byte[] bytes = new byte[0];
        if(Strings.isNullOrEmpty(htmlContent)){
            return bytes;
        }
        try{
            if(useDefaultStyles){
                htmlContent = htmlContent.replace(
                        "<head>",
                        "<head>\n<style type=\"text/css\">@page {\tsize: A4; margin: 0; }</style>"
                );
            }
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(htmlContent, baos);
            bytes = baos.toByteArray();
        } catch(Exception e){

        }
        log.debug("html2pdf {}", bytes.length);
        return bytes;
    }

What I need to add to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

According to the American Economic Review, there's a correlation between today's housing dip and divorce rates. The study shows that the economy of 2011 has reaching social affects. Home prices and their decline could possibly affect marital stability. Divorce rates have declines in the past few years. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 1996 that 50% of marriages ended in divorce. In 2009, the figures were more like 46%. The Great Recession and Marriage survey done by the University of Virginia's National Marriage Project said almost 40% of couples who were considering a divorce or separation before the recession began put aside their plans to split up.
The AER used mathematical formulas to make up for the differences in education and wealth. They found that as home prices fell, divorce rates fell as well. When housing prices increase, the gains in equity make it easier for people to make payments on separate homes, leading to an increase in divorces. In other words, when jobs are a dime a dozen, credit is easy to get and homes are at the right price, people have an easier time to move on from their relationships and current situations. The opposite is true too. When jobs are hard to find, credit is hard to get and home prices are on the decline, people don't want to lose their homes as well as a spouse. This is even more true for homeowners who haven't paid their mortgages in a while and are "underwater."The high cost of divorce proceedings is also added to the entire picture.
If you're in an unfortunate situation of splitting up and need to move on, call the local Maryland movers for professional help with moving your personal belongings at an affordable price. The All My Sons of Maryland moving team has a great reputation amongst its satisfied customers as well as in the moving industry.

Cynthia Kim: Founder of Love Classic
Meet Cynthia Kim, the founder of Love Classic, a brand with the most stylish socks you've ever laid eyes on! Cynthia's fashion journey began at Parsons in New York City. After graduating, she decided to stay in Manhattan to experience what it would be like working in the industry and life in the city!
After later moving out to LA, Cynthia was able to see the unique differences from the two cities, and her appreciation for fashion and apparel grew. Starting her own company had been a dream of her's from a very young age. When a small window of opportunity appeared, she took it, and Love Classic was born.
Cynthia and her brand feel strongly about giving back to the community. For every pair of purchased socks, the company will donate a pair to a shelter that helps women escape homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
Learn more in our interview with Cynthia below!
Our Interview with Cynthia Kim, Founder of Love Classic
What should people know about Love Classic? And why are you passionate about it?
Love Classic was started with the idea to create products that would be more lighthearted and uplifting, whether it's a gift for a friend or that perfect addition for your outfit to feel complete.
My passion and reason why I've invested so much time and energy into this company have been fueled by developing an entire story from start to finish. It's been an exciting process, and I hope to grow this company further!
What's the story behind the name "Love Classic" and how did you decide on your company's branding?
The vision behind the branding is to create a complete lifestyle look, to show that it's not just about socks! It's more about how these socks can be a part of the different aspects of your life and lifestyle.
The brand name just happened one day spontaneously, and it all clicked. When I sketched out the logo, that's when I knew this was the name I wanted to proceed with.
Tell us a little bit about the partnership you have with Doorways, and why is it an important partnership for Love Classic?
Doorways was another spontaneous encounter. Starting Love Classic, I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to give back. Once the company was ready to set up a program designed to give back continuously, starting from a local place felt right because I grew up in the area.
When I came across Doorway's website, their mission statement stuck and couldn't shake it off for days. That's when I decided to reach out. They greeted me with such a warm, friendly welcome that it left a lasting impression.
The reason why Doorways became important in our giving back program is that I wanted women to know that there's always a way out of any bad situation. You don't have to feel hopeless, abandoned, or stuck.
Tell us about your product development - from the initial idea and sketches, through sourcing, and production.
Our product development process is one of the most important and lengthy processes we have!
Everything begins with concept boards. I love starting any developments with boards because it's an easy way to see the whole picture in one place.
From there, the design begins taking into consideration fabrics, colors, and silhouettes. As each design is finalized with all of the necessary details, the actual sampling process starts with our oversea manufacturers.
How has the COVID-19 climate affected Love Classic? Have you had to pivot or rethink your strategy at all during this time?
The majority of the company didn't have to pivot; however, I did have to rethink the launch of my apparel expansion. With all of the closures happening worldwide, my launch was being delayed and clouded by the pandemic's uncertainty.
What does your day-to-day look like – and what you love most about what you do?
My day-to-day always varies depending on the needs of my company and what needs to be accomplished. The one thing that forever remains the same is my mornings!
I always brew myself a cup of coffee first thing, then get ready for a workout or yoga, and then a bit of quiet time. After that, my workday begins with emails!
The part I love the most is the process and being able to see everything come to life.
What does success mean to you?
Success is when you're happy and comfortable with who you are and where you are in your life. Financial stability, home life, friendships, etc. Most importantly, when nothing can shake that!
How do you practice self-care?
Self-care is something I value the most and notice a drastic change in my life when I neglect it. The major ones I'm always focusing on are getting plenty of sleep every night, eating healthy and well-balanced, and exercising regularly. Some are more difficult to keep up with at times, so I'll block out a chunk of time beforehand in my calendar, filling it with hobbies, brunches, movies, etc.!
If you could go back and give yourself three pieces of advice when you first started Love Classic – what would you tell yourself?
So many things, but if I had to choose three pieces of advice, it would be:
Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it!
Trust your instincts more
And believe in myself more!
What's next for you both and for Love Classic?
I'm really excited for about new expansion! I've been working on this apparel expansion since way before the pandemic! I'm glad it's here.

Military expense hike puts a strain on US-Japan-ROK alliance

By Li Zhihong
The sixth round of defense fee sharing negotiations between the Republic of Korea and the United States, which were held on January 14-15, local time, failed to produce an agreement, their 11th Special Measure Agreement (SMA). America's request to significantly increase the ratio of military expenses borne by the ROK was rejected, and ROK insisted on maintaining the current cost-sharing arrangement, leaving the negotiations at a stalemate.
The New York Times reported that Trump recently demanded Japan to bear more expenses for the American troops stationed there, and defense expense negotiation between the two countries may kick off in this summer.
The high pressure of bearing much more military expenses for the stationed American troops has put a strain on the US-Japan-ROK alliance.
Each party has its own considerations
Li Jiacheng, an associate professor at the School of International Studies, Liaoning University and a researcher at the Charhar Institute, said in an interview that the ROK has to be "grilled" by the US every year because the one-year agreement has to be renewed annually. "This year Washington asks Seoul to bear five times more military expenses, which is a huge fiscal burden on the latter and will affect a series of issues, including the 'independent national defense development' proposed by President Moon Jae-in and the future transfer of command of wartime operations."
But Washington doesn't care about Seoul's "dilemma", instead it believes it has paid too high a security cost for the ROK and Japan and it's only natural for them to pay a higher price, said Li Jiacheng, adding that "this has something to do with Trump's pursuit for unilateral interests. He never cares much about the interests of US allies ever since he took office." The Trump administration has always been adamant about shifting more military expenses to the ROK and Japan.
With the upcoming presidential election in November, Trump called during his election campaign four years ago for downsizing and withdrawing American troops stationed overseas. His putting so much pressure on Japan and ROK at such a juncture is related with the upcoming election, said Li Jiacheng. "With the pressure of competition from Democratic candidate Biden and with the impeachment inquiry, Trump has to make some diplomatic achievements urgently. If Seoul and Tokyo eventually agree to bear a larger proportion of the defense expenses, that will be something Trump can brag about and add fuel to his election campaign."
Allies drift apart
The ROK Foreign Ministry said that the ROK and the US decide to have close consultation and try to come to an agreement as soon as possible. The seventh round negotiation is expected to begin at the end of this month.
"It's highly likely that ROK will continue to play the delaying tactic," Li Jiacheng pointed out, "once it agrees to bear five times more of military expenses of the stationed American troops, it will put itself in a very bad situation and trigger Domino effects because Washington may keep asking for more."
NHK reported earlier that Japan had assigned military vessels and patrol planes to the Middle East, and Reuters reported that Abe has recently reaffirmed his plan to continue sending Japanese Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) to that region as well, which, in Li Jiacheng's opinion, may be a sign of Japan's overture to the US. In comparison, the ROK's ambiguity during the negotiations about sending troops to the Middle East can be also interpreted as a signal. However, Li added, Japan's overtures may not be of any use given Trump's political character.
ROK's response to the heavy pressure imposed by the US will offer some "references" to Japan in this year's negotiations, but Li Jiacheng analyzed that the ROK and Japan's military strength will be seriously weakened if they lose America's assistance due to their obvious inferiority in that field. Besides, Washington has the upper hand in the negotiations because it still holds the "trump card" of withdrawing the stationed troops from those two countries, which will probably give in to US pressure by opting for the "lesser evil" in the end.
"The US has been trying to create the so-called 'mini-NATO for Northeast Asia', but its bullying moves represented by the rising defense expense will unavoidably deepen the rift among the allies and cause the US-Japan-ROK alliance to become ever more loosely bound," said Li Jiacheng.

I am so far behind in posting these. How does time slip away so easily?
Day 51: That's a normal face for my little Nala. She loves playing in her water dish and her face is always wet because of it.
Day 52: This is what the floor looks like every day because Nala loves to play in her water.
Day 53: She's trying so hard to be patient and wait for whatever treat might be coming her way.
Day 55: Nala has the annoying habit of scratching at Janelle's door whenever she feels like playing with somebody, even if it's 2:00 am. Janelle came up with this solution tonight to prevent her sleep from getting interrupted. I think I will buy a baby/puppy gate for her.
Day 56: It is so cold here right now. With the doors in the front of the store constantly opening all day, it is cold in the store. I have resorted to putting hand warmers in my pockets to help keep warm.
Day 58: Dinner out today with Roland and Janelle.
Day 59: Sitting in the parking lot after work. Waiting for a ride because my battery is dead.
Day 60: She just had a bath and a haircut. She's looking much smaller and fluffier.

India Blockades Nepal, Madhes Movement, Madhes-Terai, Nepal-India, Nepali Constitution, South Asia
February 11, 2016 Siromani Dhungana	2 Comments
by Basanta Basnet ('Kantipur' Daily, 28 Magh 2072/11 Feb 2016, Page 2)
(Unauthorised translation by Kanak Mani Dixit)
Kathmandu – "In order to allow India to save face, on 24 September in Rajbiraj we took the formal decision to take responsibility for the blockade. But when it came time, without informing us, India deployed plainclothes security personnel on 25 Magh/8 February to open the border point at Birgunj," a top leader of the United Democratic Madhesi Morcha (UDMF) told Kantipur. "Now, the cadre, our supporters and the general public are angry with us."
[Related: Pictures show how Nepal is coping with the inhumane blockade by India]
Five Madhesi Morcha Leaders with Bihar (India) politician Lalu Yadav at his residence (Picture: Kantipur)
While talking for about an hour in Anamnagar, the leader's two mobile phones rang continuously. He mostly ignored the calls, but when he did pick any one up, he would answer with exasperation, "Please wait a few days. We will sit and take a joint decision."
The end of Srawan (mid-August) is the deadline for renewing government licenses, factory registrations and the like. By that time, the Morcha had already started its protests against the constitution-writing and federal demarcation. The Government offices in the Madhes plains were closed, making it impossible to renew any document. The cadre and supporters have been pestering the harried leaders to get the Government to cancel the fines slapped in the intervening six months.
Then there are the ordinary citizens, who have nothing more than their lives, their families and children, and perhaps a little plot of land. Among them, there are many who have been maimed or disabled. The Morcha does not have a count of how many died or were wounded during the movement.
The leader said, "If the talks (with the Government) had reached a certain point, we would have been in a position to make strong demands on all these matters. But right now, our self-esteem does not allow us to approach the Government. After all, we are in a movement."
A general strike had been called in the plains by the Federal Inclusive Mahdesi Alliance on 15 August and by the Madhesi Morcha on 16 August. When the Constitution was promulgated on 20 September disregarding the Morcha's displeasure and hectic Indian lobbying, India decided on its own to stop the transport of petroleum from the border points into Nepal.
[Related: A controlled Indian blockade on Nepal (BBC Report) ]
After India started the blockade on 22 September, the Front felt pressured to act. In informal meetings, India asked the Madhesi Morcha leaders to formally declare the blockade.
"The fact is, in earlier meetings we had ourselves suggested obstructing the border after violence escalated (against) Madhes. We had even gone to Raxaul to ask Indian officials to prevent passage of goods," said one Morcha leader. "At first, the Indians did not come forward, fearing financial loss. Later, it was they who forced us to take the formal decision to blockade."
A debate ensued among the Morcha members at the Rajbiraj meeting, which got extended. The meeting ultimately declared the blockade on 24 September, but by then transport of petroleum products had already been halted (by India) at all border points.
Leaders of Madhesi Morcha (Picture: Kantipur)
By the time of the Chhat festival, all the transit points had been closed, barring some consignments of fruits and grain that were allowed across. Thereafter, however, only the Birganj-Raxaul transit point was completely blocked while the others were all open.
Today, the Morcha's senior leaders are pained to ask, "Why did India, after urging us to declare the blockade, proceed so enthusiastically on its own to lift it."
[Related: Debunking Dr. Karan Singh's misinformed comments on Nepal at Indian Rajya Sabha]
The second-rung leadership of the Morcha is even more confused: "At the Bijuli Bazaar meeting in the middle of January, our senior leaders had already announced that they would change the nature of the movement after 1 February. So why did India deceive our leaders? Or did our leaders fail to understand India's suggestion."
The ongoing turbulence within the Morcha today is the result of India's diplomatic carelessness, maintains a leader of Sadbhavana Party. He is also perplexed as to why India opened all the other border points and kept only Birganj blocked for such a long time.
The Morcha has come out with its new schedule of protests, but they seem merely symbolic. Meanwhile, differences within the Morcha are escalating. On 3 February, TMLP Chair Mahanta Thakur went to stage a sit-in at the Miteri Bridge on the Birganj-Raxaul border, together with Vice-Chair Brishesh Chandra Lal and General Secretary Jitendra Sonal. There, Thakur said the blockade would continue.
[Related: India puts Nepal on Ventilator Support by blockading the country's imports (BBC Report)]
The Sadbhavana Party Chair Rajendra Mahato arrived in Biratnagar the next day, on 4 February, and proclaimed there was no logic in keeping Birganj closed. This created a furor within the Morcha. When in a 8 February meeting the Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal Chair Upendra Yadav and TMLP leaders demanded that Mahato retract his statement, the latter staged a walk out. He has since threatened to start his own grand coalition or front.
TMLP's Sonal said he did not believe Mahato would be able to start an independent front. He said, "We have asked him to correct himself and join the common platform. He has yet to announce his plans. Meanwhile, we will analyse the situation gravely and go before the people."
Sadbhavana Party General Secretary Manish Kumar Suman said that while there were some misunderstandings within the Morcha, his party would not be diverted from the movement. Even though there is propaganda that the blockade was conducted by India, he claimed that in reality it was the Morcha's doing.
[Related: Nepal- Madhesi groups have the highest representation in government jobs]
Said Suman, "If the border sit-in and general strike has benefited the Madhesi people, we will get the credit. If it has done harm, we will have to accept the blame. Why talk of others? There is no need to feel disheartened for having lifted the blockade. We should not forget that the other leaders had already announced their intention to change the nature of the movement before Sadbhavana's Rajendra Mahato spoke up."

Q: Python: strip function definition using regex I am a very beginner of programming and reading the book "Automate the boring stuff with Python'. In Chapter 7, there is a project practice: the regex version of strip(). My code below does not work (I use Python 3.6.1). Could anyone help?
import re

string = input("Enter a string to strip: ")
strip_chars = input("Enter the characters you want to be stripped: ")

def strip_fn(string, strip_chars):
    if strip_chars == '':
        blank_start_end_regex = re.compile(r'^(\s)+|(\s)+$')
        stripped_string = blank_start_end_regex.sub('', string)
        print(stripped_string)
    else:
        strip_chars_start_end_regex = re.compile(r'^(strip_chars)*|(strip_chars)*$')
        stripped_string = strip_chars_start_end_regex.sub('', string)
        print(stripped_string)

A: You can also use re.sub to substitute the characters in the start or end.
Let us say if the char is 'x'
re.sub(r'^x+', "", string)
re.sub(r'x+$', "", string)

The first line as lstrip and the second as rstrip
This just looks simpler.

A: When using r'^(strip_chars)*|(strip_chars)*$' string literal, the strip_chars is not interpolated, i.e. it is treated as a part of the string. You need to pass it as a variable to the regex. However, just passing it in the current form would result in a "corrupt" regex because (...) in a regex is a grouping construct, while you want to match a single char from the define set of chars stored in the strip_chars variable.
You could just wrap the string with a pair of [ and ] to create a character class, but if the variable contains, say z-a, it would make the resulting pattern invalid. You also need to escape each char to play it safe.
Replace
r'^(strip_chars)*|(strip_chars)*$'

with
r'^[{0}]+|[{0}]+$'.format("".join([re.escape(x) for x in strip_chars]))

I advise to replace * (zero or more occurrences) with + (one or more occurrences) quantifier because in most cases, when we want to remove something, we need to match at least 1 occurrence of the unnecessary string(s).
Also, you may replace r'^(\s)+|(\s)+$' with r'^\s+|\s+$' since the repeated capturing groups will keep on re-writing group values upon each iteration slightly hampering the regex execution.

A: #! python
# Regex Version of Strip()
import re
def RegexStrip(mainString,charsToBeRemoved=None):
    if(charsToBeRemoved!=None):
        regex=re.compile(r'[%s]'%charsToBeRemoved)#Interesting TO NOTE
        return regex.sub('',mainString)
    else:
        regex=re.compile(r'^\s+')
        regex1=re.compile(r'$\s+')
        newString=regex1.sub('',mainString)
        newString=regex.sub('',newString)
        return newString

Str='   hello3123my43name is antony    '
print(RegexStrip(Str))

Maybe this could help, it can be further simplified of course.

Q: I have a service that is published in Android. How to browser it in iOS? We are creating a multi-platform apps for both Android and iOS.
Currently, we have a services that is published in Android with these information
Type:_http._tcp or _http._udp
Name: abcController
port
Now, I want to browse "abcController" services in iOS apps to get the list of host (ip) for connecting.
I'm trying to do it with these code
 NSString* servicesOfType = @"abcController._http._tcp.";
NSString* domain  = @"";

domainBrowser = [[NSNetServiceBrowser alloc] init];
[domainBrowser setDelegate:self];
[domainBrowser searchForServicesOfType:servicesOfType inDomain:domain];

However, it only calls netServiceBrowserWillSearch and doesn't have any response.
Any helps is very appreciate !

A: Your service name needs to begin with '_' otherwise it will be confused as being a domain instead.

A: I found the solution for my issue.
It turns out that my service is published in udp,
therefore. withthiscode.
- (void) initBrowsingServices
{
    NSString* servicesOfType = @"_http._udp.";
    NSString* domain  = @"local";

   domainBrowser = [[NSNetServiceBrowser alloc] init];
   [domainBrowser setDelegate:self];
   [domainBrowser searchForServicesOfType:servicesOfType inDomain:domain];

   domains = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

   searching = NO;
}

I can receive my service now.

Celebrate the Nelson Mandela International Day!
2018-07-18 MET Column

July 18 is Nelson Mandela International Day (or Mandela Day).
It is an annual international day in honor of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on July 18, Mandela's birthday. The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on July 18, 2010. However, other groups began celebrating Mandela Day on July 18, 2009.
The Mandela Day campaign message is:
"Nelson Mandela has fought for social justice for 67 years. We're asking you to start with 67 minutes."
"We would be honored if such a day can serve to bring together people around the world to fight poverty and promote peace, reconciliation and cultural diversity," according to a statement issued on Mandela's behalf.
After the National Party's white-only government established apartheid – a system of racial segregation that privileged whites – Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) committed themselves to its overthrow. Mandela was appointed President of the ANC's Transvaal branch, rising to prominence for his involvement in the 1952 Defiance Campaign and the 1955 Congress of the People. He was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and was unsuccessfully prosecuted in the 1956 Treason Trial. Influenced by Marxism, he secretly joined the banned South African Communist Party (SACP). Although initially committed to non-violent protest, in association with the SACP he co-founded the militant "Umkhonto we Sizwe" in 1961 and led a sabotage campaign against the government. In 1962, Mandela was arrested for conspiring to overthrow the state and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial. He served 27 years in prison.
Amid growing domestic and international pressure, and with fears of a racial civil war, President F. W. de Klerk released him in 1990. Mandela and de Klerk negotiated an end to apartheid and organized the 1994 multiracial general election in which Mandela led the ANC to victory and became President. Leading a broad coalition government which promulgated a new constitution, Mandela emphasized reconciliation between the country's racial groups and created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses.
Mandela declined a second presidential term and in 1999 was succeeded by his deputy, Thabo Mbeki. Mandela died on December 5, 2013 at the age of 95.

Finally, unable to deal with the pain which kept her from doing the activities she loved, and struggling to complete everyday tasks like put on her seatbelt, Nellie went to see Dr. Armodios Hatzidakis at Western Orthopedics. He recommended a total shoulder placement with the SIMPLICITI™ Shoulder System and after getting her questions answered, Nellie decided it was time to move forward.
Nellie had her left shoulder replaced on September 23, 2015 and took advantage of all seven weeks of physical therapy to get her mobility back. She is now able to do everyday activities pain-free and she is back to the active lifestyle she enjoyed previously, including biking and hiking whenever she can.
