Media Release: Wave energy intellectual property to be retained in Scotland
INNOVATIVE ideas and knowledge gained through years of research and development by former Leith-based wave energy developer, Pelamis, will be retained in Scotland.
Development agency Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has reached agreement with administrators, KPMG, to acquire intellectual property and a range of physical assets previously owned by Pelamis, which went into administration in November 2014.
HIE has obtained the assets on behalf of Wave Energy Scotland (WES), a new body which is being established to support Scotland's wave energy sector. WES is part of HIE and is fully funded by the Scottish Government.
The deal means that valuable intellectual property which could otherwise have been lost to international competitors in the wave energy market will now be available to support the growth and development of the wave energy in Scotland.
Plans to set up Wave Energy Scotland were announced by Fergus Ewing MSP, Minister for Business, Energy and Tourism, in the Scottish Parliament on 22 November last year.
WES is tasked with bringing together the best engineering and academic minds to collaborate on innovative projects that will accelerate the development of wave technologies in Scotland.
The Energy Minister and HIE chief executive, Alex Paterson, met industry representatives in Edinburgh today [Monday 19 January] to discuss the plans for WES, answer questions and outline progress to date.
Mr Ewing said:
"While it is sad that no bidder came forward to take over Pelamis as a going concern, the fact that this intellectual property has been successfully acquired for the benefit of our wave energy sector is good news for Scotland.
"Through Wave Energy Scotland, we will now be able to ensure that this hard-won knowledge and expertise continues to be developed here and, crucially, made available to drive future innovation which will maintain Scotland's position at the global forefront of wave energy.
"There is no doubt that these are highly challenging times for the wave energy industry across the world. Here in Scotland, however, we have outstanding natural resources, world class test facilities and engineering and academic expertise which Wave Energy Scotland will harness to ensure we can achieve our potential in this growing international sector."
Mr Paterson said that HIE was working at pace to establish the new venture.
"Acquiring the intellectual property and other assets of Pelamis is an important first step for Wave Energy Scotland," he said. "WES is an ambitious new approach to encourage innovation in a relatively young sector in which Scotland has built up substantial expertise and has tremendous potential for future growth.
"Over the last two months, we've brought together staff from HIE, the University of Edinburgh and the Carbon Trust to develop the operating principles and determine the best combination of knowledge, expertise and organisational structure which will make WES an effective force in Scotland.
"It will be important to attract well qualified people with strong industry and academic experience, combining technical, commercial and intellectual property skills, to establish a true centre of excellence to take wave technologies to commercial readiness and underpin economic growth."

Outstanding efforts from Camidge, Jenkins lead to LSC's top weekly honors
TSU ATHLETICS
Dec 22, 2016 at 12:03 PM Dec 22, 2016 at 12:05 PM
STEPHENVILLE – Ridell Camidge and Romond Jenkins were named the best players in the Lone Star Conference for their efforts on the court last week as the Texan duo led No. 15 Tarleton to three wins, including a thriller over No. 12 Western Washington Monday night.
This is the second time this season that the duo has earned the offensive and defensive awards in the same week. It is also the second career award for each player.
Camidge averaged 20.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 46 percent from the floor, 43 percent (12-28) on 3-pointers, and made all four free-throw attempts – including the game-winning free throw with four seconds left to complete an old-fashioned 3-point play to knock off No. 12 Western Washington in Monday night's thriller.
Camidge got warmed up with 17 points, five rebounds and a career-high six assists in a 52-point win over Southwestern Adventist on Wednesday. The Texans traveled to Las Vegas and opened with Simon Fraser, where he scored 16 points, dished out three assists and had a career-high three steals in a 25-point win.
The junior from Wilmington, North Carolina saved the best for last in an upset win over No. 12 Western Washington. He poured in a career-high 27 points and scored the final six points - including the game-winning, and-1 layup with four seconds left - to lift the Texans to the 84-83 victory. Camidge connected on a career-high six 3-pointers as he shot 60 percent from behind the arc in the win.
Meanwhile, Jenkins was dominant on the defensive end for the Texans.
The senior from Midwest City, Oklahoma averaged a double-double over the week with 18.7 points and 14.7 rebounds. He also had a team-best eight steals and five blocks on the week.
Jenkins shot 75 percent from the floor and grabbed 44 rebounds (23 defensive, 21 offensive), which was 25 more than any other Texan. The senior helped hold opponents to 66 points on 44 percent shooting. No team outrebounded Tarleton in the three games, as Jenkins helped the Texans have a plus-47 rebound margin overall and plus-16 rebounds per game.
He had a career night against Southwestern Adventist by posting 24 points (11-13 shooting), grabbing 17 rebounds and coming up with six steals - all career highs - in the 52-point win. In a 25-point win over Simon Fraser, Jenkins had game highs with 18 points and 14 rebounds. He controlled the paint in upsetting No. 12 Western Washington, pulling down 13 rebounds (7 offensive boards) and scoring 14 points. Jenkins was the only player with more than eight rebounds in the game and also had two steals for the Texans.
Tarleton improved to 7-0 on the season when Jenkins records a double-double.
Camidge, Jenkins, and the Texans will return to action on New Year's Eve with a 4 p.m. showdown against Ouachita Baptist in Wisdom Gym.


Our Chicago nursing home attorneys at Levin & Perconti are saddened that a vulnerable elderly nursing home resident would be allowed to leave the facility alone and into dangerous surroundings. However, our lawyers know all too well that wandering and elopement are some of the most common ways that nursing homes fail to provide the care to which they are required. Elopement is a particular concern, such as in cases like this, because there is no excuse for a resident to be able to leave a facility without supervision, without being noticed, and walk right into an extremely dangerous environment.
The very reason that many seniors live in these facilities is specifically because they need close assistance to handle the myriad of dangers that exist in communities. All nursing home employees know of this danger and should be specifically trained to ensure that residents are not put into positions that could lead to deadly consequences. But as this case shows, many facilities still fail to meet that basic standard of care.
If you know of a nursing home that has similar problems, please contact a nursing home lawyer today.


If you haven't heard already, Let's Buy an Island is a unique project to create a 'micronation' through crowdfunded investment. Adventurous bidders have been getting together to establish the principality of 'Islandia', looking for a suitable piece of land to purchase. But has anything like this been tried before?
Way back in 2005, British comedian and writer and Daniel Wallace similarly tried to create his own nation, being part of a BBC documentary called "How to Start Your Own Country". Entitling his country "the Kingdom of Lovely" – even though he didn't have a real territory – at its height Lovely would boast a population of over 50,000 citizens. He would engage in a number of hilarious exploits in order to get his nation recognized. Just what did he get up to? Let's find out.
After visiting the micronation of Sealand in the North Sea for some inspiration, Wallace began his country with a resort to a 19th-century method – that's right, annexation! In the first episode of the series, Wallace hired a Tesco security guard and attempted to annex Eel Pie Island on the River Thames in London. He cordoned off the island and announced it was "being invaded" and had the guard deny people access. It didn't work; inevitably, some people got enraged and soon a higher power – that is, the local police – 'liberated' the territory. Quite quickly, it was back to the drawing board for Daniel.
Finding a proper territory proved too difficult for him. To purchase an island was expensive and obviously annexation held legal consequences. So next, he simply decided to designate his bedroom in his East London as the territory. He created a membership scheme for it where everyone could pay up to become a citizen, similarly designating their bedroom as an 'Embassy of Lovely'. Now it was time to get international recognition.
Wallace made a serious appeal to the United Kingdom government for aid. He even met with a minister of international development. Not surprisingly,they weren't very happy at his proposal and said he couldn't be taken seriously because he didn't even have a real territory. After this failed, he then recorded his own song, entitled "stop the mugging and start the hugging" and applied to join the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. It was, inevitably, rejected. Attempts to join the United Nations would also be thwarted.
Yet in the end, this didn't discourage him. He set up his own broadcasting channel called 'Citizen TV' and even created his own mock currency. Throughout 2005 to 2006, the project was successful and he gained a lot of new citizens, boasting that he was recognised by more than seven countries in the world, including the Vatican and Liechtenstein. However, in the long run, the nation of Lovely would fall. Its website was deactivated and that was that!
But for Islandia, the fun is just beginning. It isn't just a comedic gimmick for a TV show; it's a real attempt to invest in an island and to create a micronation which will have a permanent place on the map! You can either buy citizenship for $20, or even invest yourself! Are you up to the challenge of starting your own country?


Porsche has today announced the second generation of the 911 Carrera GTS, joining the Boxster and Cayman GTS in its sports car line-up. The GTS is available to order now, priced from £91,098.
There will be four GTS versions of the latest 991-generation 911: a coupe and a Cabriolet, in either rear-wheel drive or Carrera 4 all-wheel-drive guise. The GTS coupe is £91,098 and the Cabriolet £99,602, with four-wheel drive adding £4,782 to the price of each car.
The fantastic 3.8-litre flat-six engine from the standard Carrera S has been boosted by 30bhp in the GTS, to 430bhp. Porsche has also fitted the Sport Chrono package as standard, bringing dynamic engine mounts and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers, lowering the ride height by 10mm.
The changes mean a GTS coupe with the PDK twin-clutch auto box can sprint from 0-62mph in an impressive four seconds (4.2 seconds for the Cabriolet), and all variants can now top 186mph. Despite this, Porsche claims that fuel economy and emissions remain unchanged from the Carrera S, at 32.5mpg and 202g/km for the PDK model (29.7mpg and 223g/km for the manual).
Exterior changes are, as you'd expect from Porsche, subtle but tasteful. All versions get the wider Carrera 4 body, with flared arches and an extended track, plus gorgeous 20-inch matt black alloy wheels. New front trim with a slightly deeper spoiler and some GTS badging also feature, as do black chrome-plated tailpipes.
There are bi-xenon headlights and a new air intake grille, too, as well as a standard sports exhaust system that Porsche says gives an "unmistakable GTS sound".
Inside, the GTS is marked out by exclusive Alcantara trim around the door panels and centre console, plus leather sports seats. Sat-nav is standard, too, as you would expect for the price.
Porsche didn't offer a GTS version of the previous 997-generation 911 until its last year in production, which makes this hastily launched model all the more confusing. Perhaps Porsche was worried Mercedes' new AMG GT coupe was hogging the limelight?


Natural selection evolved the most efficient way to insure that young were reared by mothers who were in a condition to give them the best start in life. This involved the fertilization of the eggs of healthy robust females who were most able to carry their young to term and nurture the resulting young in a way that would give them the best start in life.
The menopause is often referred to as "the change of life". It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 as a result of a reduction in the levels of oestrogen hormone with the result that in the ovaries no longer producing eggs and monthly periods cease. It can happen in a very indeterminate way and can be associated with various other symptoms, including hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain and mood swings.
The conventional approach to helping people suffering from adverse symptoms has been hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It has also been generally recognised that adopting a healthy life style, including adequate exercise and a healthy diet, can be of value in moderating the symptoms.
At the Reve Pavilion, osteopath and natural health clinic, we take a more holistic approach. Everything relates to everything else and nothing ever happens on its own. The reproductive system is also linked up with all the other endocrine glands, including the adrenals, pancreas, liver, pituitary, pineal and thyroid glands. These are also influenced by the anatomical and structural relationships they have with the autonomic nervous system, the cranial system, mental and emotional factors. It is also true to say that no two people with the same symptoms will have them for the same combination or reasons, because everyone is different genetically and in terms of their own personal history.
We are not so inclined to simply prescribe a tablet on a hit-and-miss basis to try and repress symptoms of imbalance. It is usually a combination of imbalances that have breached the body's innate balancing mechanisms that result in the symptoms. By assessing and addressing what are often a number of associated imbalances that have breached the body's normal tolerance, individually in measured ways, we do a lot more than just help to resolve the symptoms.
When people are more balanced, integrated and well, it helps to improve their performance on many other levels so that they are enabled to move forward positively in their lives in a more mature and balanced way that enables them to achieve greater success in many other aspects of their lives.

Center for Constitutional Rights Condemns Move by the Government to Dismiss Guantánamo Cases
Days before the New Year, the Bush Administration worked through Congress to strip federal courts of jurisdiction over the fate of the detainees at Guantánamo despite a June 2004 Supreme Court ruling granting them the right to bring applications for habeas corpus in U.S. courts. The government unilaterally declared the detainees enemy combatants without any process and is holding them indefinitely. This was accomplished by means of a last minute amendment to the Military Authorization Bill, without committee deliberations and virtually no advance warning to the American people of its serious ramifications.
Now comes word that the first task this Administration has chosen to undertake in the New Year is a motion filed today arguing for the dismissal of all pending Guantánamo habeas corpus petitions.
The United States government, under the leadership of President George W. Bush, made perfectly clear its intent to create a gulag at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba - a permanent black hole into which the Administration will toss any person it chooses to disappear forever, without a trial, without hope, and without justice. If the government's position is adopted, no longer will victims of torture be allowed to sue, or to even air the fact of their abuse in any court. The attempt to dismiss these cases is a crude and flagrant violation of the laws and Constitution of the United States and the treaties and human rights laws of the nations of the world. Clearly this President believes that he is above the law and seeks unlimited and unbridled authority to continue his lawless ways. The Center for Constitutional Rights will fight this imperial presidency and this craven and cynical version of American democracy in the 21st Century.
While the Administration and its supporters have tried to characterize the men being held at Guantánamo as the worst of the worst against all evidence, the fact remains that even the military has admitted the innocence of many individuals at Guantánamo. Most have no ties to Al Qaeda, many were turned over to the U.S. for bounty, and even more were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If they have no way to appeal their innocence or their status, they will be left to rot in detention indefinitely.

The Big Bang Theory, nuff said.
I LOVE Family Guy, but I don't get to see it much... One of my favourite episodes is the one where Peter Griffin gets his own network, and then the FCC takes over Quahog and censors everything!
Uhh, since when is Family Guy a sitcom...?
Me, I'm a longtime fan of How I Met Your Mother. Nowadays, that's the only primetime show that I watch. Or daytime, for that matter - I don't really watch daytime TV at all.
My favorite TV show is, has, and probably always will be Pushing Daisies. I don't know if it's a "sitcom" by definition, but it is a funny show. A few other shows I like/liked are The Simpsons, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, The Andy Griffith Show, The Cosby Show, and The Big Bang Theory.
ElectroMan34 wrote: Uhh, since when is Family Guy a sitcom...?
To Electroman, quite right too!
Interesting. I thought sitcoms were only characterized by the multi-camera format, which made them a live-action exclusive scenario. But I guess animated sitcoms count too. I recognized that subgenre before, I just had no idea they were called sitcoms.
I had problems understanding that too so I am not blaming you.
My favorite sitcoms are I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, The [Please Talk Properly] Van Dyke Show, Get Smart, Gilligan's Island, Happy Days, Sanford & Son, Mork and Mindy, Diff'rent Strokes, Full House (seasons 1-4 only), Family Matters, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Home Improvement (Tool Time segments only), Last Man Standing.
I know, but thats what they called it.
It changed to that after I clicked "Send".
Yes, a censor is in place here. I hear that show is often a victim of the automatic censor. It's what's called the Scunthorpe problem. EDIT: And amazingly that word was not censored, despite having [Please Talk Properly] in it. EDIT 2: Well, I guess the censor is at least smart enough to not find bad words in normal words. I can't wait to tell the people of Middlesex!

yeah, but shows like that are legendary compared to the new shows on the air which I find GARBAGE, except for Last Man Standing.
Guess you could say... oh shitake!
AKA I meant Disney sitcoms. I don't watch many American sitcoms, so I wouldn't know.
Plus, for my older self, II really needed to use some symbols like , . etc.

Sorry to double post, but, I think FG is okay, it can get crude sometimes, but overall it's okay.
Way better then American Dad, though.

Kenney looking outside Philly to fill key positions
Tom MacDonald
The soon-to-be Kenney administration is looking out of town for some new key city leaders.
Philadelphia Mayor-elect Jim Kenney is conducting a nationwide search for candidates for three top jobs in the Department of Human Services, the Fire Department and the Philadelphia Prison System, said spokeswoman Lauren Hitt.
"For the past couple of weeks, we have been conducting a national search to find the appropriate candidates," said Hitt. "We have found really great Philadelphians to fill a lot of Jim's other top administrative posts. and we think it's also really important to look outside the city."
Hitt stressed that it's only a search.
"Doesn't necessarily mean it will end up being a national candidate, but we wanted to announce to folks that we take this seriously and what we are doing, and these are specifically the positions we are looking for," she said.
In the meantime, Fire Commissioner Derrick Sawyer will continue until a new commissioner is named; Michael Resnick will take over at the prison system; and Jessica Shapiro will serve as acting commissioner of the Department of Human Services.

Hey, my name is Ephraim and I am a senior at Sycamore. I joined journalism to take my snarky attitude straight to the papers and broaden my writing spectrum of knowledge. I do not know what took me so long to take this class, since writing is such a passion of mine, but being late is just the story of my life. Kind of like how I am writing this last second, and how I am also going to do all my pre-calc homework last second. I enjoy hanging out with friends because well who does not. I love watching sports as long as it is not a snoozefest like soccer or tennis. I cannot live without music, chillhop is where it is at. But, above all else my favorite hobby is writing. I enjoy writing sci-fi, fantasy, and fiction, so this reporting aspect of writing is going to be very different. In the future, I hope to become an accomplished author and I hope that my works will inspire people as well. I have two favorite quotes and they are "Speak softly, and carry a big stick" - Teddy Roosevelt and "Whenever I'm about to do something I think: "Would an idiot do that?" And if they would, I do not do that thing" - Dwight Fart Schrute.

Q: Dynamic AS when using MySQL Pivot table Wondering if anyone can help, I have an SQL statement thats causing me grief.
My statement using a MAX case() to act as a pivot table, which works fine - but i'm manually applying an AS column name - can this be done dynamically?
Here's my current statement;
SELECT
u.prefix AS  'Title',
u.forename AS  'Forename',
u.surname AS  'Surname',
u.email AS  'Email Address',
u.update_time AS  'Register Date',
eg.name AS 'Event Group Registered',
e.name AS  'Session Registered',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 1 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question2',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 2 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question2',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 3 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question1',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 4 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question2',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 5 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question1',
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 6 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS 'Question2'

FROM tbl_event_attendees AS ea

LEFT JOIN tbl_user AS u ON ea.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN tbl_event AS e ON ea.event_id = e.id
LEFT JOIN tbl_event_groups AS eg on e.group_id = eg.id
LEFT JOIN tbl_user AS u2 ON ea.guest_of_user_id = u2.id
LEFT JOIN tbl_user_variables AS uv on u.id = uv.user_id

WHERE ea.event_id =6
GROUP BY ea.id

My statement joins a few tables together, including a variable table, where several rows are applicable to specific rows in this table.
So i don't want the name of the column to be 'Question1', but rather the adjacent column 'name' that applies to the uv.value, i.e.;
MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = 14 THEN uv.value ELSE NULL END) AS uv.name,

Can anyone suggest how this can be done?

A: Not sure it works for you or not, but just try it;)
SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
  GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
    CONCAT(
      'MAX(CASE WHEN uv.user_type_variables_id = ''',
      uv.user_type_variables_id,

The Fearsome Nazi Tower That Held Off the Allies in Berlin
The Zoo Tower became a thorn in British and Soviet sides alike.
By David Grossman
William Vandivert/The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty ImagesGetty Images
As World War II approached its end during 1945, the Soviet Army began its advance on Berlin. The Nazis, with their depleted ranks, dwindling supplies, and shattered morale following the suicide of their leader, were not in great shape. Still, they had a few things in their favor, one of which was the Flakturm Tiergarten, known in English as the Zoo Flak Tower.
After the British Air Force (RAF) had gone on its first bombing run against Berlin in 1940, dropping nearly 200 bombs in the process, Hitler began to reconsider how the Nazis would defend themselves against a competent air force. They tackled the question in two ways at once. First, they started targeting British cities in hopes of stretching RAF forces thin, and at the same time, they bolstered the capital city's internal defenses.
What emerged was what civic planners today would refer to as a "mixed use" building. Towers were built with both offensive and defensive capabilities. The Zoo Tower, built in 1941 and named because of its location close to the city's zoo, was among the most prominent of these as explained in this video about the towers from YouTube channel Real Engineering.
The equivalent of a 13-story building made out of reinforced concrete, the Zoo Tower had anti-aircraft guns on its rooftops and a 85-bed hospital on the third floor. At the top, it featured four 12.8-cm twin FlaK 40 mounts, supported by 20 mm and 37 mm guns on lower platforms. A whole 26 feet (8 meters) of concrete protected the tower's sides and 16 feet (5 meters) protected the top. At full capacity, the Tower could hold up to 350 soldiers and 15,000 people.

As the Soviets rolled into town, the Zoo Tower's anti-aircraft guns were pointed towards the ground and the Red Army's tanks. While conditions in the Tower were hardly comfortable, with little room to breathe or water to drink, its defenses held. The guns kept the Soviets at bay, leaving them unable to advance on the Reichstag in open daylight.
Of course, a stationary tower with dwindling supplies and a limited reach can only do so much. Even as the Zoo Tower remained impregnable, the Soviets were able to fly their flag over the Reichstag. The Soviets allowed the troops inside to surrender, though Nazi command was able to delay the surrender until additional soldiers were able to escape from Berlin.
A few years later, in Allied-controlled Berlin, the Zoo Tower fell under British control. Remembering how the Tower had been built to frustrate their attacks, the British blew it up. This took three attempts with increasing amounts of dynamite. Eventually, 35 tons of dynamite were able to fell the Zoo Tower.
The site was eventually retaken by the Berlin Zoo and is the current home to the hippo exhibit.

King's Lynn Town FC chairman Stephen Cleeve says improvements have been made to catering at The Walks

A football club chairman has hit back at its zero food hygiene rating, saying improvements have already been made.
The Walks Stadium, King's Lynn, which was given a zero food hygiene rating Picture: Ian Burt
King's Lynn Town FC was warned to clean up its kitchens after inspectors from West Norfolk council visited its ground The Walks in November.
Their report says there was "a distinct lack of food safety management with major issues not being identified or addressed".
Chairman Stephen Cleeve did not return calls asking him for the club's side of the story when the EDP reported the inspection rating.
Now Mr Cleeve has told fans work was carried out within seven days of the inspection.
In his programme notes for Saturday's game against Barwell, which the team won 3-2, he wrote: "We have a good relationship with the council and their hygiene department and they visited the club some months ago and spoke with the head chef.
"They gave us a list of recommendations which I told the chef to action straight away, he did not action them."
Mr Cleeve adds he should have checked the work had been done but "sometimes there are not enough hours in the day to do everything".
He adds he then made an appointment with a hygiene officer who was "first class" and wrote down a list of what needed doing.
"There was an old sandwich toaster which she wanted throwing away, he adds. "It was not bought by me and has never been used by anyone at the club since I took over, I duly threw it away.
"The microwave had a tiny crack in it, so I have thrown that away as well and replaced it with a new machine."
Mr Cleeve said chopping boards at the ground have been thrown out and replaced with new ones.
"I also bought several other items of kitchen equipment," he says. "This work was carried out within seven days of the inspection."
Mr Cleeve said the barbecue, which was described in the inspector's report as "covered with blackened debris and grease" is always fully cleaned when the chef arrives on a Saturday.
He added: "We have never had one instance of food poisoning at the club or at the George so we clearly do clean it."
Mr Cleeve adds the barbecue is now covered between games.

Steven Gerrard expects Rangers duo Scott Arfield and Nikola Katic to hit the ground running
Rangers' manager Steven Gerrard.
Published: 16:14 Tuesday 25 June 2019
Steven Gerrard expects Scott Arfield and Nikola Katic to hit the ground running when the pair finally touch down to rejoin their Rangers team-mates.
Defender Katic is due to link up with Gerrard's side at their pre-season base in Portugal this week following Croatia's exit from the European Under-21 Championships.
Midfielder Arfield also has commitments skippering Canada at the Gold Cup, where his side face Haiti in Saturday's quarter-final showdown.
But there will be no settling in period once the 30-year-old does clock on, with Gerrard insisting both Arfield and Katic will be expected to take part in the gruelling sessions he has laid on to get his side back in top shape ahead of the new season.
Both men were given some early time off ahead of Rangers' final game of last season and Gerrard believes they will have had enough rest and recuperation to ensure they are ready to go when next month's Europa League qualifiers come around.
The Ibrox boss, whose side kick-off their campaign against either Progres Niederkorn or Cardiff Met University on June 18, told Rangers TV: "The reason they weren't available for Kilmarnock was to try and benefit from that decision now.
"I think it affected us against Kilmarnock as I didn't really want to change the team too much as we were on a great run with five wins out of five.
"But, because there wasn't really much to play for, I had to think about now, and I had to think about getting them ready for the qualifiers which are about to hit us.
"So Katic will come straight back in - he had his three-week holiday before his tournament - and the same with Scott.
"They will have slightly different programmes to the others and it will be a lot easier for them to pick up the speed and integrate because their programme was different at the back-end of last season."
The latecomers will find six new faces in the Rangers dressing room when they do return.
Gerrard has signed Jake Hastie, Jordan Jones, Sheyi Ojo, Greg Stewart and George Edmundson this summer, with Joe Aribo also waiting to sign off his move from Charlton.
And so far, Gerrard has been pleased to see his summer buys make a good first impression.

Jordan Jones out to 'prove a point' at Rangers with aid of Northern Ireland boost
"They have done very well, and I would say every one of them so far has been a positive on the evidence of what we have seen," he said.
"Both on and off the pitch, they are good people and hungry people who want to come in, contribute and make us better.
"That always sends shockwaves around the squad as people who have been here before realise the competition and the levels are going to go up, and as a manager you are hoping that comes out in results moving forward.
"So the message to the players is to keep pushing as we are going to have options in all the positions and a better quality than we had last season, and that is great news for everyone."

Q: How to pass variable parameters to an XPages SSJS function? If I have a function in SSJS and I want to pass one "firm" parameter and a list of others that can change, what's the best way to do that?  With some kind of hashMap or JSON or something else?
for example given something like:
myfunction( code:string, paramList:??) {
// do stuff here
}
Basically the function will create a document.  And sometimes I'll have certain fields I'll want to pass in right away and populate and other times I'll have different fields I will want to populate.
How would you pass them in and then parse out in the function?
Thanks!

A: I would do this with a JSON object as the second parameter...
function myfunction(code:String, data) {
   // do stuff here...
   var doc:NotesDocument = database.CreateDocument();
   if(data) {
      for (x in data) {
         doc.replaceItemValue(x, data[x]);
      }
   }
   // do more stuff
   doc.save(true, false);
}

Then you call the function like this:
nyfunction("somecode", {form:"SomeForm", subject:"Whatever",uname:@UserName()});

Happy coding.
/Newbs

A: Use the arguments parameter... In JavaScript you are not required to define any of your parameters in the function block itself. So, for example, the following call:
myFunction(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4);

can legally be passed to the following function:
myFunction () {
  // do stuff here...
}

when I do this, I usually place a comment in the parens to indicate I am expecting variable arguments:
myFunction (/* I am expecting variable arguments to be passed here */) {
  // do stuff here...
}

Then, you can access those arguments like this:
myFunction (/* I am expecting variable arguments to be passed here */) {
  if (arguments.length == 0) {
    // naughty naughty, you were supposed to send me things...
    return null;
  }

  myExpectedFirstArgument = arguments[0];

  // maybe do something here with myExpectedFirstArgument
  var whatEvah:String = myExpectedFirstArgument + ":  "

  for (i=1;i<arguments.length;i++) {
    // now do something with the rest of the arguments, one
    // at a time using arguments[i]
    whatEvah = whatEvah + " and " + arguments[i];
  }

  // peace.
  return whatEvah;
}

Wallah, variable arguments.
But, more to the point of your question, I don't think you need to actually send variable arguments, nor go through the hassle of creating actual JSON (which is really a string interpretation of a javascript object), just create and send the actual object then reference as an associative array to get your field names and field values:
var x = {};
x.fieldName1 = value1;
x.fieldName2 = value2;
// ... etc ...

then in your function, which now needs only two parameters:
myFunction(arg1, arg2) {
   // do whatever with arg1

   for (name in arg2) {
     // name is now "fieldName1" or "fieldName2"
     alert(name + ": " + x[name]);
   }

}

Hope this helps.

A: I don't think that is possible in SSJS. I think the best option you have is to pass a hashmap or your own (java) object. I think a custom java object would be the nicest option because you can define some 'structure' on how your function can process it. A hashmap can be easily extended but it is not easy if you have a lot of code that create a lot of different hashmap structures...

'white ants': meaning and origin
Pascal TréguerAustralia & New Zealand, etymology, public affairsanimals, Australia, economics, newspapers & magazines, phrases, politicsLeave a comment
In Australian English, with reference to the supposed destruction of the brain by white ants (i.e., termites), the plural noun white ants is used of loss of sanity, sense or intelligence.
(The singular noun white ant occasionally occurred in early use.)
—Cf. also a sandwich short of a picnic and not to have both oars in the water.
These are, in chronological order, the earliest occurrences of white ant(s) that I have found:
1-: From the fourteenth chapter of Thus He Was Saved, by Horace Earle, published in The Week: A Journal of Commerce, Farming, Mining, & General Information & Amusement (Brisbane, Queensland) of Saturday 31st May 1879:
"I don't know any more than that we are going abroad soon," replied Sandy.
"To Queensland?"
"To Australia somewhere," said Sandy, "I can't say exactly where."
"I am pretty familiar with the dodges of that country, and can give you a few valuable wrinkles. A new chum has a lot to put up with, and for a time is very green, very green indeed. In many cases before he cuts his eye teeth he gets the white ant in him, and loses heart."
"What do you call the white ant, Tom?" inquired Sandy curiously.
"Well, the white ants are little insects that play the very mischief with everything they come across, and will eat the very stretcher from under you, if you don't take care."
"But you don't mean to tell me that they get inside a man?"
"It doesn't matter what it is to them; but I need the—the—what do you call it in a—a—a—. I must jerk it up, Sandy, the proper words never come to mo when I want them. What I mean is that unless a new chum has got no end of pluck, he gets sick and sorry, and wishes he was home again."
2-: From a letter to the electors of Fassifern, by 'One of Yourselves', published in The Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser (Ipswich, Queensland) of Tuesday 8th May 1888:
Fellow-electors, you must not shilly-shally with this coolie question, nor let these followers of Mr. Salkeld stuff your heads with arrant nonsense about wanting coolies to mow your hay unless you get protection. Let old Dry-as-Dust know that our fellow-elector, Mr. Bullmore, is our safeguard, and that he will not have coolie immigration as an alternative measure in case of a protection measure failing. Let old Dry-as-Dust know that Mr. Bullmore has taken the bull by the horns, and will steadfastly oppose coolies, no matter what other measure may be carried or what other measure may be overthrown.
[…] It has just dawned upon me now that this old dry-as-dust man must have the white ants very bad.
3-: From a letter to the Editor, published in The Northern Miner (Charters Towers, Queensland) of Friday 2nd January 1891:
I doubt that the supporters of the scheme of Italian cheap labor will say that the writer of the above has not given much of his time to the study of political economy, and that he has got the white ants bad, and a fit person to be sent to Woogaroo Asylum for lunatics.
4-: From the account of a Labor meeting, published in The Daily Northern Argus (Rockhampton, Queensland) of Tuesday 5th March 1895:
The speaker went on to refer at length to the attitude of the Labor Party in the Legislative Assembly, being now and again interrupted by a stentorian voice asking
An Utterly Irrelevant Question,
"What about the £15,000 voted to Sir William Macgregor for New Guinea?" The interruption was so malapropos that everyone had to smile. Barcoo's representatives suggested that the man had got white ants, to which the speaker acquiesced "Yes, he's got them bad," and proceeded.
5-: From Australian Slang, published in The Evening Standard (London, England) of Friday 7th June 1895:
"Off his pannikin," "A shingle short," "To have white ants" (the last a Queensland phrase), are expressions for "wrong in the head."
6-: From Truth (Sydney, New South Wales) of Sunday 10th April 1898—the noun white ants is part of an extended metaphor:
The Reidrade dailies are always enthusing over the number of French and German vessels that come cargo-carrying to Sydney and back. Perhaps their white elephant brains have the white ants of the wooden head, perhaps—well perhaps they have no brains to dry rot, but they distinctly fail to grip the position. The foreign ships they are so fond of, especially the German, are highly subsidised by their Governments, and so are enabled to offer a low freight rate, whereby they do immense injury to British ship-owners. It is indeed curious to see freetrade editors absolutely advocating on the part of Germany what amounts to a very stringent form of protection.
7-: From Answers to Correspondents, by 'Gossip', published in The Sydney Stock and Station Journal (Sydney, New South Wales) of Friday 17th June 1898:
Some people want to kick me for what I say. If some of them knew how much I didnt [sic] say, they'd bless me for a philanthropist! I'd give a £5 note to the Fresh Air League for the privilege of saying what I thought about some things. When a man gives me credit for "speaking out" it makes me blush, when I remember how much I don't say. But I'd better shut up eh? I haven't got "white ants" or anything of the sort, but I'm glad I found you out.
8-: From The Geraldton-Murchison Telegraph (Geraldton, Western Australia) of Thursday 23rd June 1898:
"White Ants."
By W. M. C., in the Australasian.
"White ants" in Far West Australia is the familiar term applied when a bushman or miner has "got 'em bad." That, is, when, almost driven to despair by the desolateness of his surroundings in the far interior, he over-indulges. During my three-years' experience in official and journalistic capacities, especially the former, many instances of "white ants" came under my notice. One in particular may be worthy of recounting. After a hard spell of presswork, I accepted a Government situation which required that I should travel far out into the unknown. I was assured it was in a grand district, 600 miles N.E. from Perth, with mountains, lakes, and woods—away out on the frontier near the unexplored desert, and bounded by nothing in particular. It was a field with an area about equal to the whole of Victoria. After selecting the site of the future capital, I had to instal myself as a sort of Pooh-Bah, being the only official within the limits.
It was a gray, sultry sort of place out back in the rainless desert. Mines were being developed, and when wages were paid once a fortnight, out of English capital, "the field" mounted on bikes, brumbies, and camels, and had two days sport.
It was on a Sunday when the case of "white ants" forced itself on my attention. I had spent a long night writing official letters, to be forwarded by cyclist, at 1/ per letter, to the nearest post-office, 100 miles away, and I was indulging in a morning's rest.
"Good morning, sir, are you awake?" brought me to a sitting posture.
"What can I do for you?" I inquired.
"I have come to be hanged. Yes, come to be hanged. I killed them all! Father, mother, and Dick! Now, Jack says I must not further disgrace the family, and rather than have me hanged he will bury me up to my neck in sand, and let the crows pick my head off. But—I don't want that, and he is after me."
I understood the situation, and said, soothing and cheerfully, "Oh, I remember I tried your case yesterday, and let you off with a caution, but you know, Charlie, you must not do it again."
"Oh, thanks very much. Have you seen them?" "Seen who?" I asked, as I rose and walked to the tent door in my pyjamas. Looking along the track I saw some men near the hotel, and said, "Oh, yes, there they are."
He looked, saying, "Then, I must be going," darted into the mulga before I could lay a hand on him.
Two days passed, and I had just turned in when a voice asked "Have you gone to roost?"
"Yes, but come in all the same," I replied, and a bronzed miner entered.
"Awfully sorry to disturb you, but I have come to report that my mate Charlie, who was having a bit of a spree and got 'white ants' has been missing since Saturday last. Can't find him anywhere. What is to be done?"
"It must have been Charlie who came here on Sunday to get hanged," I said.
Then I proposed to borrow the services of Mr. Blank's black-tracker.
The tracker came next morning, and got all particulars. In the afternoon he returned, and what a scarecrow came with him. Three day's exposure to the blistering sun, without food or water, had wrought terrible havoc on Charlie. He was only partly dressed. His lips were black and cracked; his head was smeared with blood, which still oozed from two wounds—one in front and the other at the back, near the base of the skull. His eyes showed no more intelligence than two burnt holes in a blanket. The white ants had had a terrible innings. I had him placed in a covered-in space between my two tents, and tied him by the feet, as he was restless and raving, and could not be trusted to lie on a stretcher. A pint of hot Bovril soothed him, but towards midnight he became violent, protesting against being buried alive in the sand. What was to be done? My only drug was a phial of homœopathic belladonna. Should I try its effects? Well, if he died I should have to be coroner, and would certainly not return a verdict of wilful murder against myself. So I dosed him, washed the blood from the holes in his head, and covered them with kerosene rags to keep the flies off. He slept until noon next day—slept until I grew afraid—but he wakened up refreshed and more like a man. I poured the extract of meat into him, and watched his recovery. Late at night he begged for "more of that stuff" (belladonna), and I complied by giving him small doses. Within a week I had the satisfaction of seeing him move about clothed in his right mind.
When questioned about the holes in his head, he had a confused recollection of trying to beat his brains out with two large pieces of quartz to escape being buried alive.
Fearing that he might again give way to drink, I cautioned the firewater vendor, and hinted at enforcing all the penalties and pains if he supplied a single drop of forked lightning to my first patient. I also gravely told Charlie that I had put him under the "Dog Act" for six months—that is, under prohibition for his own good. He left distressed and downcast.
Weeks passed, new publichouses and other places sprung up in that wilderness like Jonah's gourd. One blistering day Charlie came to my quarters, looking well, but downcast.
"How are you jigging, old saw?" I inquired heartily.
"Well, but disgraceful," he replied. "Oh, can you remove the ban—take away the curse of the Dog Act? It would break my poor mother's heart if she knew of my disgrace."
"Do you feel strong enough to resist temptation?" I said kindly.
"I do, and promise on my honour never to indulge again—never!"
"Well, my boy, you have a clean sheet so far as I am concerned. I only cautioned vendors, but never entered your name on the blacklist."
"This is too much. I cannot thank you sufficiently for saving my life and my honour. Come down to the pub., and see how I can withstand it."
I went reluctantly. Charlie had bitters and ginger-beer only. I saw him frequently during many months after that, and often spent an hour with him, but on no occasion did I ever see him take anything stronger than an unsmokable cigar made out of cabbage-leaves of the kind sold at a shilling a bundle in civilised parts, but retailed as a favour on the fields at a shilling each.

They demotivate students who, despite high levels of effort, are still unable to reach them.
They foster a performance goal orientation, in that they encourage students to compare themselves with others, rather than hone their own skills.
They can negatively impact academic self-concept (the way we view ourselves as learners).
I recall times when my own students would become anxious about how high their own target grades were, or nonchalant about their studies when they had reached their target grade (even if that target grade was very low). By some quirk of statistics, I once had a student who was given an A level target grade of U, meaning that even if he failed, he would still reach the target he was set.
I realise that others have become just as despondent and that many schools now choose not to share target grades with students and parents. Psychologically this has many advantages, but a more effective solution is to implement what psychologist Andrew Martin describes as Personal Best Goals.
Martin uses the term Personal Best (PB) to describe the managed attempt to exceed oneself rather than to be "top of the class". Personal Bests centre on a specific personal challenge (e.g. "I want a B on my next essay because I got a C on my last one") and the specific steps required to reach the goal – so PB's are competitively self-referenced – doing better than you did before.
PB's have been found to increase engagement and academic achievement (Martin & Liem, 2010) as well as promote other skills including self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation and flow. Studies have also found that PB's are just one way to encourage and promote an incremental mindset (Martin, 2014).
PB's work by drawing on this incremental philosophy and using a series of small steps to go from one personal best to the next, in the same way an Olympic sprinter aims to shave a second here and a second there off his or her fastest time.
Furthermore, PB's aren't confined to specific cultural groups, with PB's being generalised to non-western contexts (Yu & Martin, 2014).
PB's encourage students to examine feedback constructively and set out a plan by which route they either maintain their current level or exceed it, ensuring that they take on board teacher comments and identify gaps in either subject knowledge or study skills. In many ways, PB's are similar to the SMART-type objects used in employee appraisal systems and coaching, in that they provide specific time-bound criteria by which progress can be made without relying on extrinsic factors.

Ethereum researcher Virgil Griffith denied bail on charges of conspiring with North Korea
by Luke Bailey
3 weeks ago 0 65
Virgil Griffith, the head of Ethereum's special projects division who was arrested on federal charges of conspiracy with North Korea, has been denied bail. According to the Inner City Press, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Griffith's text messages in which he renounced his U.S. citizenship were the determining factor.
Judge denies bail for Ethereum's head of special projects
The head of special projects at Ethereum has been denied bail and will remain in prison awaiting his trial. Virgil Griffith, one of the platform's leading developers, has been arrested on Thanksgiving day for illegally traveling to North Korea and allegedly providing the country with information on how to use Ethereum to bypass economic sanctions.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI announced that he was being charged with violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by traveling to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
A week after his arrest, Griffith's legal representative claimed Griffith is set to be released from prison once his bond is posted, but added that it could take "as much a few weeks" to complete.
However, new information that has surfaced during the investigation seems to have changed the Judge's mind, with both the assistant U.S. attorney and the magistrate judge claiming Griffith "had misled pretrial services."
According to the Inner City Press, which was present at the court, the judge cited her concerns about Griffith's failure to disclose "sufficient financial information" as he didn't tell the court he owned a property and a shell company in Puerto Rico. Apart from that, the judge said that since Griffith never served time, he may seek to flee the country.
Weak evidence and a haste trial
One of the main pieces of evidence presented by the court
was alleged text messages Griffith sent to his parents. According to the U.S. Attorney, Griffth's text messages claimed he maintained "the world's largest portal to the Dark Web."
However, Griffith's defense lawyer, Brian Klein of Baker Marquart, said that they have "sought pre-indictment discovery" about this supposed discussion from the court, but haven't received it so far. He also said that the Southern District of New York's Judge Cote "did not have all the facts" when she ordered Griffith's arrest and detainment.
Inner City Press' Matthew Russell Lee said that the main takeaway from the bail sentencing was that the U.S. Attorney's Office had incredibly weak arguments, which means Griffith still has the chance to appeal the decision.
"You read it right- US Attorney's Office didn't really seem to know how to argue, veering from Puerto Rico real estate to text messages to his parents that might well have been (dark) humor. He may do better on appeal, either to Part I Judge Broderick or 2d Circuit," he tweeted.
Lee also pointed out that Griffith's openness about his trip to the "Pyongyang Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference" earlier this year could be used as part of his defense. As Griffith repeatedly tweeted about his trip and his stay in North Korea, Lee believes Griffith lacked the intention of wrongdoing and had nothing to hide.

The Game Signs With YMCMB

Well it's official, after the long rumor deal The Game has finally signed with YMCMB. Birdman confirmed it today via Twitter and The Game retweeted Birdmans tweet, and sent out a tweet of his own. This has been long rumored since The Games last album "Jesus Piece". When Birdman spoke on the record "Freedom" about it being Games last album under Interscope and he was signing with YMCMB after that. The Game now joins a roster with plenty of artist: Nicki Minaj, Tyga, and Drake just to name a few. But only a few have had the privilege to drop an album. We'll see what comes out of this new deal. Game last album dropped last year. I'll never understand why artist like Busta Rhymes or The Game sign under a boss like Birdman when they already have a big following of their own, but that's just me. My biggest question is will we get a new album in 2014 with his new label? That's something to keep an eye on, but congrats to Game on his new deal.
