How Is Sports Being Used As A Tool For Development?
Shinjinee Mishra
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) charter adopted in 1978 was one of the first documents that identified sports as a human right. It promoted sports as a contributor to lifelong education and as a channel to achieve social needs.
However, women across the world lack the opportunity to participate in sports and physical activities which inhibits their development and contribute to women being at a weaker position in the social, political, economic and educational domains.
Nowadays various non-profit organisations are using sports as a tool for development for women and young girls. In India, there are several organisations that have incorporated sports into their development programs and some of them focus specifically on using sports for the development of adolescent girls and women.
YUWA (meaning youth) is one such NGO based in rural Jharkhand, founded by Franz Gastler in 2009, which uses sport as a tool for development of adolescent girls. It works specifically with girls from economically disadvantaged families and uses team sports and education to build character, confidence and courage.
It helps young girls challenge the prevailing inequality in society through team sports and education. The soccer program of the organisation started with one team and soon grew to several hundred girls.
Now, more than 300 girls play each day on YUWA's team making it one of the largest girls' soccer programs in India with 90 percent of teams coached by young women. Teams play on unused agricultural fields and any flattened piece of ground they can find. YUWA launched its #GirlsWithGoals campaign to raise funds for girls and build their school in Hutup, Ranchi.
Slum Soccer is another organisation based in Nagpur and was founded in 2001 by Vijay Barse a retired sports teacher to offer much-needed sporting opportunities and personal development programs to disadvantaged young people across India.

The Slum Soccer team believes that development through sports has a huge potential and extending football program to women will help them tackle the gender inequality in the society more effectively. Under their Women Football Development program, which is active in three centres they conduct daily football training sessions for women and a major chunk of the awareness initiatives has been given to women's development.
Their women's team has also participated in the Homeless World Cup which has hugely improved the effectiveness of their program. Their activities have also been recognized by the Street Football Network and they invited the women's football team to participate in an international event in Berlin in 2011.

Under their National Championship for Women, Slum Soccer started Football tournaments for women to provide them equal access to participation and developing confidence in them so that they participate in decision making in the social, political and economic domain of their lives.
Project KHEL (KHEL stands for Kids Holistic Education and Lifeskills) is an NGO based in Lucknow, that leverages the power of sports to captivate and empower India's marginalized youth. Akshai Abraham founded Project KHEL in 2012 with a motto of "Taking education beyond the classroom". "Our vision at Project KHEL is to shape a better tomorrow, by redefining education today, and enabling children to create a better future, both for themselves as well as their communities," says Abhilasha Sachan, who is a Project Co-ordinator at Project KHEL.

Made in Maidaan is the regular program of the organisation which harnesses the 'Power of Play' for development for children through a series of modules designed to impact crucial Life Skills Education (LSE) through experiential and activity based learning modules. Under this program, sessions at each beneficiary location are held on a semi-weekly basis and consists of both sports and LSE.

Children under this programme get equal opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills and build confidence by participating in various cross location events like Global Peace Games. "Girls constituted 48% of total beneficiaries of our Made in Maidaan-Life Skills Education Programme", says Abhilasha Sachan. Apart from Made in Maidaan, they run several other programmes in workshop mode to empower the children and adolescents, specifically girl and to provide them knowledge about crucial issues.

Founded in 2013, Red Spot is their programme on Menstrual Health Management that empowers adolescent girls through activity-based workshops on understanding menstruation as clean and biological process. The goal of the workshops is to strengthen young minds to be critical about social stigma attached to menstruation.

Teen Talks is their forum for open discussions with teenagers where they can ask/share/discuss questions related to a range of issues from body image to handling relationships, discuss sex and sexuality and so on.
When asked about their impact on the field, Abhilasha Sachan, their Project Co-ordinator said, "In last 5 years of operation, we have directly impacted more than 23,448 children and adolescents, through our various program and indirectly have reached out to more than 1,70,000 people through our trainings and events. Last year that is April 2016-March 2017, we worked directly with 8132 children and adolescents, including 5800 girls".
CREA is a feminist, human rights-based organisation in New Delhi which was founded in 2000. CREA works at the grassroots, regional, national and international level for the rights of women and girls and the sexual and reproductive freedom of all people.
Building on its work in the fields of gender, sexuality, reproductive health and rights, CREA through it's It's My Body program works to strengthen the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of adolescent girls in India through sports. Sports allows CREA to address and increase bodily integrity among young girls, enabling them to exert greater control over their bodies.
It helps girls improve their leadership skills and teamwork and helps them to make their own decisions regarding their body, health and lives. It enhances their mental and physical well being and self-esteem.

Under this program, CREA conducts sports and knowledge building session for kishori (girls) groups on SRHR on topics such as gender norms, self-esteem, body image, violence and human rights. The IMB program has reached 250 villages in eight districts of Bihar, UP and Jharkhand. Their work is based on social-ecological model where they work directly with girls, parents, community, school, Panchayats, health system as well as SHGs (Self-Help Groups).

Another such organisation is The Naz Foundation which is a non-profit organisation founded by Anjali Gopalan in 1994 with the aim of addressing HIV/AIDS with a holistic approach to prevention and treatment. The core idea of this foundation is that all children have a fundamental right to a fun-filled childhood with access to health, education and safe stigma-free environment.
In 2006, Naz, in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank, initiated the Goal program in urban communities. It is a women's empowerment program offering weekly sessions to adolescent girls who are subsisting on a low family income due to which sometimes they have to drop out of school. The program offers netball and life skills education sessions at least twice a which focuses on the promotion of self confidence, communication skills, health and hygiene and financial literacy.
Sport is a strong channel of conveying positive messages among the children and youth and building up their self-esteem and interpersonal skills. It is an important tool in attaining both physical and mental fitness. Designing development programs based on sports can be a very effective tool as it promotes participation, inclusion, acceptance of rules, human values and respect for other teammates and players which leads to the holistic development of children.

Q: AEM How to prevent localization happening otb? I have a scenario wherein i18n becomes overhead to content authors. The authors want dialog labels to be in English only for all locales. But certain headings/labels on dialog gets localized as they are available in otb dictionaries. Example label 'Advanced' from page properties dialog gets translated for non-english sites.
Is there a way I can prevent internalization happening?

A: If you refer to AEM's documentation for i18n, you can see its driven by the locale/language set in slingRequest. you can override this by explicitly fixing the i18n but if you do that none of your translations will work -
Locale pageLang = new Locale("en");
ResourceBundle resourceBundle = slingRequest.getResourceBundle(pageLang);
I18n i18n = new I18n(resourceBundle);

An other alternative (a little extra effort) in you need to do this only for dialog boxes is -

*

*Create your own dictionary for translations, refer here

*Use unique name-spacing for your keys eg - myapp.mycomponent_abc.label

*Use above keys in your component dialog to ensure that your version of translation is picked. If for all languages you want english only dialogs, all your have to do is duplicate your english dictionary and change the language key in it to relevant language while keeping translations still in english.

Brexit Issues Lead NICE To Delay Methods Review
by Francesca Bruce
Topics: Brexit | Pharma-Brexit |
NICE, the health technology appraisal institute, is delaying its consultation on changing its methods, in part because of changes in the UK regulatory and commercial landscape.
The six-week public consultation on the methods review is now expected to begin in November 2020. A separate consultation on changing NICE processes will follow in February 2020.
Originally one six week-consultation on both methods and processes had been scheduled for the summer of 2020.
(Also see "NICE Expands On Methods Review Details" - Pink Sheet, 24 Jul, 2019.) (Also see "UK NICE Review Needs To Be More Than A 'Bureaucratic Exercise'" - Pink Sheet, 20 Jun, 2019.). NICE said there would be a "short delay" to the methods review consultation. "We also need to factor in due consideration of any process requirements needed to address ongoing changes across the United Kingdom regulatory and commercial landscape, and to align the methods and process review into a single programme manual," it added.
NICE currently develops its product guidance in parallel with European Medicines Agency's regulatory process and therefore needs to "consider any impact and consequences as a result of the end of the EU exit transition period," it told the Pink Sheet.
The UK agency, the MHRA, will become a fully freestanding regulator for medicines and medical devices on 1 January 2021. It recently published numerous pieces of guidance for industry on arrangements following the end of the transition period. (Also see "How To Get A 'Great Britain' Drug Approval In 2021" - Pink Sheet, 2 Sep, 2020.)
NICE said it was collaborating with the MHRA in "key areas of interest" through the MHRA and NICE Core Strategic Group.
"Current work is focused on ensuring that new MHRA licensing arrangements and NICE's Technology Appraisals and Highly Specialised Technologies processes and timelines align such that timely patient access to important medicines is maintained and enhanced," it said.
Commercial Framework
Meanwhile, NICE also needs to take into account NHS England's forthcoming commercial framework when it conducts its reviews. Publication of a final framework had been expected this year but has been delayed because NHS England staff have been redeployed to help respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
This framework was outlined in the UK's 2019 voluntary pricing scheme for branded medicines and sets out more detail on commercial arrangements with the pharmaceutical industry. (Also see "Concerns Emerge Over England's Desire For Even Lower Drug Prices " - Pink Sheet, 4 Dec, 2019.)
According to NICE, topics considered for the methods review are: cost minimization (also referred to as cost comparison); costs used in health technology assessment; discounting; decision-making; equality considerations in guidance development; health-related quality of life; modifiers; sources and synthesis of evidence; technology-specific issues; and exploring uncertainty.

Q: How do I overwrite a constraint I have a UIButton that's constrained to the parent view like this:
[myButton constrainToParentView:NSLayoutAttributeCenterX];

and later in my code, I want to change the constraint to this:
[myButton constrainToParentView:NSLayoutAttributeLeading spaced:24];

But when the second line runs, it doesn't overwrite the first constraint. Instead both constraints exist. How do I overwrite the first constraint? I read that you have to set the constraint as a property, but I couldn't find any information on doing that for my case specifically.

A: You probably don't want to use whatever method or extension you're currently using for constrainToParentView - or, you need to edit it to allow for saving  references to the constraints.
Here's a simple example, using constraint methods directly. Very simple, and the comments should be clear. It creates a button, centers it horizontally, then swaps between leading and center constraints with each tap.
// SwapConstraintsViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface SwapConstraintsViewController : UIViewController

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

and
// SwapConstraintsViewController.m

#import "SwapConstraintsViewController.h"

@interface SwapConstraintsViewController ()

@property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *myButton;

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSLayoutConstraint *centerXLayoutConstraint;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSLayoutConstraint *leadingLayoutConstraint;

@end

@implementation SwapConstraintsViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    _myButton = [UIButton new];
    _myButton.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
    _myButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    [_myButton setTitle:@"Test Button" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [self.view addSubview:_myButton];

    // constrain the button 100-pts from the top of the view
    [_myButton.topAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.view.topAnchor constant:100.0].active = YES;

    // create centerX constraint
    _centerXLayoutConstraint = [_myButton.centerXAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.view.centerXAnchor constant:0.0];

    // create leading constraint
    _leadingLayoutConstraint = [_myButton.leadingAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:self.view.leadingAnchor constant:24.0];

    // activate centerX constraint
    _centerXLayoutConstraint.active = YES;

    [_myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(didTap:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

}

- (void)didTap:(id)sender {

    if ([_centerXLayoutConstraint isActive]) {
        // de-activate center first, then activate leading
        _centerXLayoutConstraint.active = NO;
        _leadingLayoutConstraint.active = YES;
    } else {
        // de-activate leading first, then activate center
        _leadingLayoutConstraint.active = NO;
        _centerXLayoutConstraint.active = YES;
    }

}

Woman fights kidney disease, defies all statistics
By MADELYN DWYER - Associated Press - Sunday, August 14, 2016
SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Nieltge Gedney, a Shepherdstown resident, has been advocating for others her whole life, but when doctors told her she had less than a year to live, Gedney knew if she didn't advocate for health, she'd run the risk of being "treated" like everyone else.
Twenty-six million Americans suffer from kidney disease - that's one in 10 - and West Virginia has the highest per capita rate in the country of patients with kidney failure starting dialysis.
Gedney has been living with kidney disease since 1997, but it wasn't until 2007 she came face to face with a life altering decision.
"They said I needed to start dialysis or a transplant within a year, and I said well … thanks very much, but I'm going to Ecuador," she said.
Gedney shocked family and doctors when she said no to dialysis and moved to Ecuador. Many said it was a death sentence, but Gedney said treatment looked even worse.
"I had seen dialysis clinics and it was like a sea of comatose bodies, so decided I was never ever going to do dialysis. I was fine. So I had plenty of time to make peace … and I had decided to go peacefully," she said.
After spending a year abroad, Gedney's kidney disease had improved by 50 percent, a miracle she credits to the clean living in Ecuador.
"My health improved dramatically, because they don't have chemicals. Their water had no chemicals in it, it's untreated, processed right from the mountains. It's some of the purest water in the world," she said.
After moving back to Shepherdstown, Gedney did everything in her power to stay healthy, but said her deteriorating health was sadly the product of her environment.
"Environmental toxins in your food, in the water and in the air are some of the biggest contributors, because they can't be purified out of the kidneys. So they destroy it," she said.
Unlike those with healthy kidneys, Gedney said people that suffer from kidney disease are incapable of removing harmful phosphorus from the blood stream.
"One of things that triggered my kidney disease was the chemicals in the water here … because phosphates aren't regulated in the water. They were absorbed through my skin and I was literally poisoning myself from the inside out," she said.
In 2014, Gedney spent three months on dialysis, in and out of treatment centers and it was then she decided if she wanted to "own her illness," she'd have to "own her treatment."
Later that summer, Gedney spent six weeks training on home dialysis, and now treats herself at home with The NxStage System One, a portable hemodialysis system for home use.
Jeff Burbank, founder and CEO of NxStage Medical, Inc., said the device was designed to give kidney sufferers ownership of their treatment.
"With the System One, patients are able to perform their therapy where they want and when they want - at home, while traveling, during the day or at night while sleeping," he said.
Gedney now advocates for home dialysis, and says her home treatment is akin to brushing her teeth. It's just another part of her daily routine.
"I call it the new normal. It's changed my life, but I don't let it impact it," she said.
In 2015, after receiving a chance email from Home Dialyzors United, Gedney became a board member, and found herself sitting in New Orleans at the Annual Dialysis conference weeks later.
Gedney has since become vice president of the nonprofit organization and said she strives to improve the quality of care for home dialysis patients everywhere.
"There's an FDA regulation that says home dialysis patients must be observed by a care partner and it has severely limited the number of people that can train at home … people that live alone, younger people … it's very discriminating," she said.
Gedney said that is a regulation she strives to change, because studies have shown people who dialyze at home have less infection, less medication and the death rate is lower.
"Not one dialysis patient is a one size fits all, and (doctors) are treating the disease, not the person. So I tell people, if you want to feel better, own your own treatment," she said.

The Making of an Upset
Everything had to go exactly right for Doug Jones, and exactly wrong for Roy Moore—and it did.
Rosie Gray
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Everything had to break exactly right for Doug Jones to win the U.S. Senate election in deep-red Alabama, and it did. Jones ran a disciplined campaign that hinged on the turnout of black voters, and it delivered for him.
But everything also had to break the wrong way for the Republicans, and it did: A series of machinations among senior GOP officials led to a runoff between the unpopular Luther Strange and Roy Moore, best known for losing his judgeship over a dramatic battle to keep a 10 Commandments monument in the state's supreme court. Moore had a loyal base of support in Alabama despite—or because of—the litany of controversies attached to him, including his inflammatory remarks about homosexuality and Muslims serving in office. He was unable to reach beyond that base, however, and barely tried. In the end, Moore could not survive allegations by nine women that he had pursued or sexually abused them when they were teenagers—one as young as 14. The story consumed the final weeks of the campaign, with Moore unable to offer a substantive rebuttal, instead attempting to discredit the mainstream media and his accusers. He went underground during the race's final stretch, hardly appearing in public, while Jones barnstormed the state.
Fighting the last battle is a common political mistake. Moore's campaign and his biggest backers, such as the Breitbart News chairman Steve Bannon, thought that Moore could survive the allegations by doubling down and toughing it out, the same way President Trump defied conventional wisdom and won despite the Access Hollywood tape. They were wrong. Moore's loss showed that some laws of gravity still apply in politics.
"Roy Moore's problems were much bigger than just the allegations of impropriety," says Lance Hyche, an Alabama Republican consultant. "Many pro-business Republicans have long held a bad taste for Moore's agenda. Plus, he ran a terrible campaign."
Though Bannon publicly projected confidence about Moore, by Election Day he was less than certain Moore would win. "I don't know," he said when asked what he thought would happen on Tuesday. "I don't want to get overcocky."
Moore held his election-night party at the RSA Activity Center, in downtown Montgomery, the same venue where he held his event on the night of the runoff. This time, though, members of the press were penned off in the back by barricades, not allowed to roam freely. Reporters were given press credentials featuring only close-up photos of Moore's face on the front and back. Journalists from The Washington Post, which broke the story of Moore's alleged misconduct, were denied credentials.
As results slowly trickled in from around Alabama, The New York Times's election results were projected on a big screen behind the stage. At first, as more red appeared on the map, the mood was jubilant; a saxophonist covered pop songs such as "Happy" by Pharrell and "Smooth" by Santana ft. Rob Thomas. But as the night wore on and it became clear that Jones was outperforming expectations, the room fell silent. Supporters sang hymns including "How Great Thou Art" and "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."
Even after the Associated Press and Fox News called the race for Jones, Moore refused to concede. His campaign chairman, Bill Armistead, came onstage to announce that the campaign was waiting for more votes to come in and preparing for the possibility of a recount. Moore encouraged everyone to go home and sleep on it, an echo of the Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's late-night announcement on election night last year.
But at least from Donald Trump's perspective, it was time to put a fork in it. The president tweeted his congratulations to Jones shortly after the race was called and didn't mention Moore, for whom he had campaigned on Friday at a rally in Pensacola, Florida, near the Alabama border.
Andy Surabian, Bannon's political adviser, also acknowledged the loss.
"Mitch McConnell and his establishment allies got the Democrat that they wanted in Alabama, and are now threatening and openly defying President Trump's agenda," Surabian said. "Make no mistake about it, Mitch McConnell is now the highest ranking Democrat in America. Congratulations, Swamp."
Bannon himself had taken the same line earlier that day. "We have very limited downside" in the event of a Moore loss, he told me on Tuesday, even before results came in. "If Moore loses, the firestorm against McConnell will reach a fever pitch, people will be off the chain. They will come for McConnell like you've never seen before and Shelby will be finished down there."
"If we lose, it's actually worse for McConnell."
McConnell's allies, for their part, were equally quick to pin the loss on Bannon, who had championed Moore as part of his war against the Senate majority leader. Steven Law, the CEO of the McConnnell-linked super PAC Senate Leadership Fund, sent out a statement blasting him: "This is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running. Not only did Steve Bannon cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country, but he also dragged the president of the United States into his fiasco."
Bannon had lobbied for Trump to back Moore, though Trump didn't seem to need much persuading after mustering little enthusiasm for Moore's opponent, Strange, during the primary. Still, Trump had predicted while campaigning for Strange that Moore would have a tough time winning the general election—and he was right.
"Moore losing in the end is a blessing. He is one dumb, weird guy," says one source close to Trump, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to speak candidly about private conversations. "Mo was the guy who should have ran," the source says, referring to Mo Brooks, the congressman forced out after the initial round of voting.
A special Senate election in Alabama would normally be a snoozy affair, as far as the wider political world is concerned. But Tuesday's voting capped a wild few months that gripped the country, as Alabama became the focus of America's political and cultural conflicts. The race played out amid the torrent of sexual-misconduct allegations against powerful men that have been rocking American culture, and it highlighted both the deepening divide in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party's efforts to rebuild after last year's presidential-election loss.
One factor Moore and his backers didn't fully take into account was the viability of Jones, a prosecutor who made his name bringing Ku Klux Klan members who bombed a black church in Birmingham in 1963 to justice. After the allegations against Moore came to light, various polls showed Jones within striking distance of Moore, or even in the lead. Jones's strategy was to beat the odds in Alabama's heavily Republican electorate by turning out as many black voters as he possibly could and by picking off more-moderate Republican voters who couldn't stomach voting for Moore, even if the party establishment decided to tolerate him.
To accomplish this, Jones campaigned heavily in black neighborhoods and churches and brought in high-profile black Democrats such as Deval Patrick and Cory Booker to help him. He chose symbolically important places, scheduling a Saturday press availability outside the Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma, the starting point of the historic civil-rights marches to Montgomery led by Martin Luther King Jr.
To woo Republican voters, Jones's campaign and outside groups took advantage of prominent Republicans' resistance to Moore, cutting ads based on Alabama Senator Richard Shelby's refusal to vote for him. Shelby's decision to go on television and oppose Moore on the Sunday before the election was a significant statement. "That's about as out on a limb as you see him get," David Mowery, an Alabama political consultant who ran Bob Vance's campaign against Moore, in 2012, told me. "He's the cagiest pol in our state, so he knows what he's doing there."
Jones also enjoyed a large spending advantage and, as is the case with many Democratic politicians, celebrity backing. The Alabama-rooted musical acts St. Paul and the Broken Bones and Jason Isbell held free get-out-the-vote concerts for Jones, and on the night before the election, the former NBA star Charles Barkley, an Alabama native, campaigned as well. "At some point we've got to stop looking like idiots to the nation," he told voters. This message—vote for Jones to save face for Alabama in the country's eyes—was a key element of the pitch made by Jones's surrogates. "Don't let anybody talk down to Alabama," Booker told Jones supporters at a Birmingham field office on Sunday.
While Barkley was stumping for Jones in Birmingham on Monday night, a motley crew of right-wing characters was doing the same for Moore in Jordan's Activity Barn in Midland City, in the southeastern part of the state. The rally was themed "Drain the Swamp," and a faux swamp—a tarp with toy alligators on it—had been set up outside. The back half of the barn was fenced off for the press, while the front half was crowded with Moore's supporters. In a VIP area up in an upstairs loft, Bannon, Sheriff David Clarke, and others could be seen mingling by those down below. Also in attendance were Paul Ryan's nationalist challenger Paul Nehlen, who recently appeared on the alt-right podcast Fash the Nation, and Corey Stewart, the former Trump Virginia state chair who nearly beat Ed Gillespie in that state's gubernatorial primary this year.
A series of speakers took aim at the mainstream media and Moore's accusers—both of which Moore and his allies had been busily trying to discredit. The affair facilitated the release of pent-up rage at the forces Moore and his allies saw as trying to destroy him.
Texas Representative Louie Gohmert, a stalwart of the House Freedom Caucus, spent most of his speech attacking Moore's accusers. He referenced the Biblical character Jezebel and implied that some of the accusers had been paid: "If somebody got money for trying to destroy a righteous man, there's a place called prison."
And Bannon, who has spent the autumn giving speeches around the country promoting his 2018 plans, told the crowd that it shouldn't let outsiders tell Alabamians how to vote. (Bannon grew up in Virginia, and has lived in California, New York, and Washington, D.C.) This was Bannon's third appearance on Moore's behalf in Alabama; he spoke at a rally in Fairhope before the runoff, and at another in Fairhope last week. Only this time, he and his former boss were on the same side. (Jones reacted to Bannon's speech last week by tweeting that he is an "outside agitator" who was "carpetbagging" in Alabama—both loaded terms hearkening back to Alabama's pained racial history. Bannon castigated MSNBC's Joe Scarborough for having called him a "Yankee," saying that he is from the "capital of the Confederacy" and boasting that Scarborough didn't "make the cut" at the elite schools Bannon got into, Georgetown and Harvard.)
Moore's wife, Kayla, spoke before Moore did. She said that Moore, who recently suggested that the Jewish billionaire George Soros is going to hell, is not anti-Semitic because the couple has Jewish friends and because "one of our attorneys is Jewish."
And Moore, who had not held a public campaign event for nearly a week—he confirmed onstage that he had been out of state over the weekend, visiting his son at West Point—was similarly aggrieved.
The allegations against him are "disgusting," Moore said. He was surrounded by "alligators," he said. "We're up to our neck in people that don't want change in Washington, D.C.; they want to keep their power, keep it the same, keep their positions, and we've got to change that."
Bannon was by then camped out in a room upstairs designed for brides getting ready for their weddings—the room next door had "Groom" on the door. (The barn is a frequent wedding venue.) Bannon was hosting his SiriusXM radio show from the site. Members of his entourage of advisers, Breitbart employees, and security guards shuffled in and out, speaking in hushed tones and watching the Patriots–Dolphins game on TV. Bags of snacks were piled up in a corner. Clarke, having taken off his signature hat, came in to do the radio show.
When Moore finished speaking, he and Kayla came in so that Moore could join the show. Then Gohmert came in, dragging a carry-on suitcase, and a series of photos were taken of Moore, Gohmert, and Clarke in various combinations.
Bannon interviewed Moore for several minutes, focusing on Shelby's opposition to him and casting the race as an "up or down vote on the Trump agenda." ("It doesn't help," Bannon told me that night about Shelby's opposition. "It's unacceptable that a sitting United States senator would basically not back the Trump agenda by trying to toss the race to a Democrat, particularly a progressive Democrat like Jones."
Moore stuck to the theme of his race being a referendum on Trump's agenda, saying that Shelby "doesn't want a voice in the Senate that would stand up for Trump."
"You've been a great help, Steve, and we appreciate you and standing for what this country's about," Moore told Bannon.
As Moore turned to leave, Gohmert buttonholed him, speaking excitedly into his ear. Then the Moores stepped out into the lofted area and made their way downstairs, where reporters caught sight of them and shouted questions. They hustled into a waiting car. The Breitbart crew stayed behind. Their show was still going on.

E.ON monitors and analyses deep-learning algorithms and mission critical systems on the fly using Tableau
Real-time analysis of Combined Heat and Power systems ensures reliable customer experience
70,000 energy network components visualised in one easy-to-use map
Hundreds of critical sensors turned into one unified, interactive dashboard
E.ON is one of the leading energy groups in Europe with around 75,000 employees, headquartered in Essen, Germany. The company uses Tableau to help business units throughout the organisation gain deep insights from their data – all in compliance with stringent data protection regulations.
In addition to supporting other areas, E.ON uses Tableau to monitor the status of hundreds of sensors on each Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, by visualising and analysing deep learning algorithms that determine their health and state. Similarly, their Grid system monitors tens of thousands of network components within one single map. These visual, unified insights into critical energy systems underpins the company's predictive maintenance strategy and ensures they operate at optimal performance.
We can now visualise and prioritise 70,000 assets on one easy-to-use map.

Real-time, map-based analysis of hundreds of critical sensors ensures reliable customer experience
As one of the largest energy supply companies in Germany, E.ON manages a vast network of Combined Heat and Power plant sensors, cables and grid components. Regular, proactive monitoring and maintenance of this complex network plays a vital role in improving performance – and ensuring customers continue to receive a reliable and rewarding service experience. Previously, a reliance on outdated reporting processes was making it increasingly difficult for E.ON to efficiently plan and manage predictive maintenance across these networks.
E.ON introduced Tableau to help the organisation take system monitoring and predictive maintenance into the future.
Alexander Schaaf, Visual Analytics Engineer at E.ON, says: "One of my first tasks was to help colleagues visualise the grid system of cables and substations, using shapes and colour to help them see at a glance which assets required priority maintenance," he explains. "We can now visualise and prioritise 70,000 assets on one easy-to-use map."
To simplify the complex monitoring of the many sensors, Alexander's advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) team developed an algorithm that maps the value of the sensors to a single 'health index' that is very easy to monitor. Alexander explains: "We are using this with Tableau, combined and embedded into a web page. Operators no longer sit in a control room staring at 20 screens – they can monitor everything in a unified, live visual environment. Colleagues outside of the power plant can also monitor the turbines by picking up their iPad and examining the health index."
Other areas at E.ON are also already using Tableau; around 15 business units use the Tableau Server, while hundreds of employees use Tableau Desktop to create new dashboards and analyses.

Photorhabdus luminescens (ancien nom Xenorhabdus luminescens) est une gammaprotéobactérie appartenant à la famille des Enterobacteriaceae. C'est une bactérie pathogène symbiotique des insectes.

Elle vit dans le tube digestif d'un nématode entomopathogène de la famille des Heterorhabditidae. Quand le nématode infecte un insecte, Photorhabdus luminescens est relâché dans le sang, ce qui provoque une réaction immunitaire de l'insecte parasité. Cela tue rapidement une bonne partie de la faune bactérienne de l'insecte hôte, puis celui-ci est achevé par la production de toxines telle que la TcA.
Elle sécrète aussi des enzymes qui décomposent le corps de l'insecte infecté et le convertissent en nutriments qui peuvent être utilisés tant par le nématode que par la bactérie.
De cette manière, les deux organismes disposent de suffisamment de nutriments pour se répliquer (ou se reproduire dans le cas du nématode) plusieurs fois. La bactérie infecte aussi la progéniture du nématode au fur et à mesure de son développement. Photorhabdus luminescens sécrète aussi des molécules antibiotiques qui lui procurent un avantage compétitif face aux autres bactéries.

Photorhabdus luminescens est une bactérie bioluminescente, sans que l'on sache expliquer l'intérêt de cette propriété. Il est possible que ce soit l'infection par cette bactérie des blessures de soldats au cours de la bataille de Shiloh en 1862 qui les rendit luisantes et contribua à la survie de ces soldats du fait de la production d'antibiotiques.

It happens in round 1.
6 territories have a 1/6 trigger chance of getting units placed.
If the units are placed in a territory, then the other placement triggers will not activate.
If the first 5 spots did not by chance get units placed, then the 6th spot will get it automatically.
But I can't get the system to work Here are the conditions+triggers and the error.
Can anyone spot the flaw in the triggers?
PS: I have tried to remove all but 1 of the "activateTrigger" from "triggerAttachmentNew_Water_Dragon_0". It still does not work.
The error is saying it can't find "triggerAttachmentNew_Water_Dragon_1" but that appears to exist and be spelled correctly.
@Frostion What you activate must be before the activation trigger, in the xml.
Ah, yeah. I think @Cernel is correct that you need to switch the ordering so the placement triggers are listed before the trigger that activates them all. Technically I don't think you even need that trigger that activates them all and can just add the condition that its round 1 to each of them.
@redrum Yep, and, for having tested it numerous times, I can say that activations are the heaviest things on the xml. Meaning using them makes the game heavier than doing without. Of course, it doesn't really matter until you get to several tens of thousands activations.
Yeah, I think its generally better to use conditions and try to avoid using activateTrigger to chain triggers together. But I can't say I've played around all the much with complex condition/trigger combinations.
@Frostion The one other point is mathematically speaking you aren't going to get 1/6 chance for each of them the way you have it. The reason is that the chance of say the second one happening is actually 5/6*1/6 as its the chance the first one fails times the chance the second succeeds and so on. For the second one it isn't that big of a deal but once you get to the 5th one that one will almost never fire since its (5/6)^4*1/6 ~ 8%. So you probably want slightly increasing probabilities through the triggers.
@redrum Yeah, while I don't actually know why, for trying to use activations just to cut down the quantity of xml code, I, instead, noticed that the activations slow down the game a lot, adding to the time needed to load or parse it. So all my experience says that a longer xml coding without activations is actually much lighter than a smaller one using activations.
So, I would surely suggest to use activations only when they are absolutely needed.
A thing that I actually wonder is if it is better having the activations towards the start of the xml? Since only the part beforehand is searched for the triggers to be activated?
@Cernel Possibly. Or at least towards the start of the list of triggers (the rest of the attachments probably don't matter) though if all your triggers are calling activate on others then not much you can do. I'm guessing it parses triggers into a list of so the longer the list of triggers, the longer it takes to find the one to tie to that activate call.
The way @Frostion is presenting the coding is actually that all those activations would be tested and fire at the same time, so you could get all five of the first one or none, or anything in between, plus always the sixth one, assuming he also eventually corrects the last Booleans in them, as currently none of those activations are even testing for chances, nor conditions.
Theorically one could do what @Frostion wants with a very complex series of activations, in which the activated trigger itself activates another one, and so forth. Alternatively, you can hack it with the random placement delegate; say you create 6 boxes and let it place in one, see what get picked and test it out.
I will try use the example code.
@redrum said "So you probably want slightly increasing probabilities through the triggers."
@Frostion The second set of probabilities is exactly what you want as each time one fails to fire you want to up the chance so its 1 over the remaining ones left.
@Frostion Also the coding posted by @redrum would just be tested all at the same time; so the "conditionAttachmentSpawnDragon7" is substantially pointless, as, at the moment it is tested, it would be always true (accounting the "invert"), if there was not a "Young-Water-Dragon" in the map before that phase. It doesn't matter the xml order; those triggers all fire, and are tested, at the exactly same time ("before:PiratesPurchase"), and what is modified by any of them doesn't matter as far as testing for any other ones go. Besides hacking it by creating a series of otherwise pointless phases (like a bunch of no-PUs end turns one after the other, before the phase you actually want to be in), the only way of testing at the same moment, taking into account what modified by other triggers acting at the same time, is such triggers being activated by the ones that are changing the state themselves, in this case in a chain of activations.
What I was saying is that, if not with the random placement hack, what you should do is having a first trigger that surely places the sixth thing and activates a second trigger that has 5/6 probability of removing that thing, placing the fifth thing and activating a third trigger that has 4/5 probability of removing that thing, placing the fourth thing and activating a fourth trigger that has 3/4 probability of removing that thing, placing the third thing and activating a fourth trigger that has 2/3 probability of removing that thing, placing the second thing and activating a fifth trigger that has 1/2 probability of removing that thing and placing the first thing (with "that thing" I always mean the latest things (one or more) that have been placed by the preceding trigger in the sequence).
Alternatively, you can go with a coding like the one posted by @redrum, but with decreasing 1:1, 1:2... 1:6 chances, then another set of conditions and triggers, firing at a subsequent point, that removes everything placed by triggers with a higher chance than what is tested to have been successfully placed, but only as long as those units cannot be there by any other means, at that point. Or, if @redrum can tell that a trigger removal is meant and will always remove what placed by other triggers that place stuff, firing at the same point, you can integrate this on the same triggers, having each trigger also removing anything possibly placed by any other such triggers with higher chances to happen, but only as long as those units cannot be there by any other means, at that point.
@Cernel Yeah, there is a couple different ways to do it. I went with something kind of in between your 2 suggestions but using more conditions with switches to avoid having to place/remove units. Essentially first decide which dragon needs placed with a set of chained triggers using the inverse odds and then a set of triggers that checks the result of those triggers and places the appropriate dragon. Not really sure if that's the best way but it seems to work.
@redrum You don't have to assign any when to the triggers meant to be activated only, when they have no conditions (so will never fire on their own).
You can just test for the immediately preeceding "conditionAttachmentNotSpawnDragon", not all of them.
@redrum Keeping placing and removing stuff is not wonderful, I know, but I like the idea to split a logically same thing amongst two different unrelated points, as this is also confusing and a liability, in managing the phase order.
I would do five true switches. Then a trigger that activates two other triggers. The first activated trigger is a trigger that 1:6 both places the first thing and set to false the first switch and the second activated trigger is a trigger that tests for the first switch to be true and, if so, it fires another trigger that does the same, but for the second thing and the second switch, and at 1:5. So on and so forth, with increasing 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1 probabilities for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth things, except the sixth doesn't switch anything.
I haven't tested anything, and here the question would be if an activated trigger testing for conditions will test for a condition at the state after what has been modified by another trigger activated by the same original trigger, as long as such option is listed beforehand, in it.
I would say it should. But should it and does it?
The matter, practically, would be that when I have a trigger doing multiple things, listed in sequence, if one of these things is a trigger activation testing for conditions, should this condition state take into account what that trigger may have modified beforehand only or thereafter too, and only what the trigger changes directly, or what is done through activation all the same?
The simplest case, currently, is if I have a trigger directly doing something and, also, activating another trigger that does something else. The question here would be, if this activation testes for condition, whether or not what the trigger already did matters for the condition testing or not.
Then the matter should be expanded to clarify if anything changes in case, in the trigger, first I've the trigger activation, and, then, some direct effect for that trigger.
Then the matter should be expanded to clarify the case of multiple trigger activations with conditions testing, within the same trigger.
Regardless of this matter, I'd like to clarify this item, and update pact of steel as to make it official, please.
it would be so much simpler if triggers just activated in the order that they are listed in the XML, top down. I actually thought that it worked that way.
@Frostion That is ok working the current way, as all simple triggers firing at the same moment are simultaneous, so the state is and should be tested as it was before any of them firing. It would be nice if they are listed in history in the same order as in the xml, but this would be for display only.
Just obtaining a simple sequential firing of trigger at the same moment is not too complex. You just need to make a trigger A that activates a trigger B, then the trigger B activates a trigger C, then the trigger C activates a trigger D, etc..
However, this should be probably all documented in pos2, as it is not the first time it comes out.
For example, if we have a trigger "0" that does something directly and also activates triggers "A1" and "B1", that also do things directly. Moreover, "A1" activates another trigger "A2", that does things directly and also activates another trigger "A3", that just does thing directly. "B1" also activates "B2" and "C2" triggers, both just doing things directly.
If all activated triggers test for conditions (to actually be activated), what state these conditions should see (thus test for)?
For example, should the activation of "B1" test the state as modified by what "0" did directly. Should "B1" test the state as modified by what "A1" did directly, or indirectly ("A2" and "A3").
Logically, I tend to think that, for example, "B1" should test the state as modified by what "0" did directly, but without accounting what any other triggers did, while, for example, "C2" should test the state as modified by what "0" and "B1" did directly, but without accounting what other triggers did, not even "A1".
This matters not only for conditions, but for the state in general. For example, if we assume activated triggers happen after the trigger that activate them, "A2" would be able to remove a unit directly placed by "A1", but "A1" would not be able to remove a unit that is going to be placed by "A2", because the unit is not already there.
This also opens the question whether or not a simple (not activated) trigger removing units should be able to remove the units placed by another simple trigger firing at the same point (moment) (this is actually what "Blue vs. Gray" does, and it works). Like if I make a trigger placing 1 infantry in Germany and a trigger removing 1 infantry in Germany, and fire them independently at the same moment, assuming there are no infantries in Germany already, should the infantry be removed?
When a trigger is activated by another trigger, does the activated trigger make use of any conditions it maybe has listed inside itself? Or are its own conditions just ignored, as the trigger is fired by another trigger?
@Frostion For the activated trigger, the conditions are tested only if the penultimate Boolean or the "activateTrigger" option is true.

They will make it big certain over the time. But for now plants keep on fighting until they also have reached the each of honor. Which basically means to work everyday even though that sounds hard. People ought to understand that life will not allow you to be any presents. You are the only person who is responsible from what you are getting when you need it. Only once you should use a Pou Hack apk though. Thus you better perform well whatever the you are doing. Consider this as motivation to step in the day with new energy. It isn't always the case that you're walking support from the ones you like, but if that actually happens than you will be a lucky one. You could easily get something special like Pou Cheats if you happen to stay loyal to us together with always show your support. , in which way can you try this though? Well just take a glance at other people for instance. Look what they're just doing and how successful they're just with their actions.
This might offer some help a lesson or two maybe. You can just never make certain what will happen when you need it so it is always recommended to remain prepared. No matter what it is you should state what you are doing and why considering doing this. After you have carefully thought about it for a little bit you can continue, for how long can be done that is another question not surprisingly. A lot of people claimed they used the Pou Hack properly. Indoors they might need some help but these firms not get public. Their image would take impact if that happens therefore, the people behind all this far better shut their mouths. It is essential to rely on the work of others if you're doing something with them jointly. Sooner or later the may not even play a big role from this huge wide world but let's not think about that. You can never tell what will happen next when you step in the ring. The sharks might eat you or you certainly will come out victorious.
A lot of things happen and so several also change over night. Now of the year everybody is looking to get a way to improve. And when I see everybody i literally say that every person about this small planet is doing at these days. Also you are probably in it right now but not really watching it. It all happens in our subconscious so several individuals do not notice it in any respect. If those people made Pou Cheats after that you can be sure they are doing work fine. Just ask around for a little bit and you will recognize that successful person has started small to medium sized once. This is only logical since you can't start big in this types of business. What those kind of folks did should be your goal additionally. Remember the moment in that you decided to take a direction that you never left. It completely changed your daily routine and thus also the lifetime of others. If you hadn't done the idea you would not be where you are supposedly at the moment.

OCT. 7 NFL: Bills trade Zay Jones to Raiders
JOHN WAWROW / AP Sports Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Receiver Zay Jones is going from the end of the Buffalo Bills bench to landing a fresh start with the Raiders after being traded to Oakland, a person familiar with the deal confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday.
Buffalo acquired a fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft, according to the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the trade has not been announced. ESPN.com first reported the deal.
The trade comes as both teams enter their bye weeks, and a day after Jones sat on the Bills bench for all but one snap in a 14-7 win at Tennessee.
Rookie Duke Williams took over Jones' role as the No. 3 receiver and scored the decisive touchdown on a 7-yard catch in the fourth quarter a day after being promoted from the practice squad. Jones was upbeat following the game, and drew praise from Williams for providing him support before and during the game.
Jones' benching came a week after he was faulted for not helping break up one of three interceptions thrown by Josh Allen in a 16-10 loss to New England. He also had a potential go-ahead touchdown glance off his fingertips in the end zone in the fourth quarter.
Buffalo is 4-1, while Oakland improved to 3-2 following a 24-21 win over Chicago in a game played at London.
The Raiders, who are off until playing at Green Bay on Oct. 20, have an injury depleted group of receivers with starters Tyrell Williams and J.J. Nelson both sidelined.
In Buffalo, Jones was expendable on a team carrying seven receivers following Williams' promotion.
Coach Sean McDermott provided no hint of the possibility of Jones being traded while speaking to reporters earlier in the day.
McDermott referred to Jones as someone who is continuing to develop.
"I think he's still young in his career and he'll continue to do a good job as he continues to focus on what he can control," McDermott said. "I really appreciated the way he took a team-first approach yesterday."
The third-year player struggled this season in attempting to carve a niche in a retooled group of receivers following Buffalo's offseason additions of free agents John Brown and Cole Beasley.
Jones has just seven catches for 69 yards despite being targeted 18 times. That's a significant drop-off for a player who led Buffalo with 56 catches, 652 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
The Bills drafted Jones with a second-round pick in 2017 out of East Carolina after he had an FBS-leading 158 catches and 1,746 yards.
He is the son of former NFL linebacker Robert Jones, who won two Super Bowls with Dallas Cowboys in the early 1990s.
Zay Jones had a frightening meltdown following his NFL rookie season. He was arrested but not charged in February 2018, when police found him found him naked and bloodied after trashing a downtown Los Angeles apartment.

This is Jake Mailhot's fourth post as part of his May Residency at FanGraphs. A lifelong Mariners fan, Jake now lives in Bellingham, Washington, just a little too far away from Seattle to make it to games regularly, which is sometimes for the best. He is a staff editor at Mariners blog Lookout Landing. He can be found on Twitter at @jakemailhot. Read the works of all our residents here.
Among the various career arcs in professional baseball, the conversion from starting pitcher to reliever is one of the more common ones. It's a last resort for aging veterans and a tried-and-true way to get the most out of middling starters. But when a talented prospect is moved to the bullpen, there are bound to be questions. It has been generally understood that a starting pitcher is more valuable than a relief pitcher, so teams are usually more conservative with their prospects, often letting them at least try to work things out as a starter before pulling the plug. But in an era when relievers are throwing more innings than ever before, a high-octane reliever might prove to be more valuable than just another starter.
Back in 2016, the Mariners moved one of their best pitching prospects from the rotation to the bullpen. Edwin Díaz took to the conversion quickly and was in the majors a few weeks later, completely skipping Triple-A. He was soon installed as the Mariners closer and has been one of the best relievers in the majors since. His already excellent fastball velocity received the usual boost from shorter stints on the mound, and his slider has developed into a plus-plus pitch.
It was a risky move for the Mariners. Instead of letting the 22-year-old try to develop his changeup in the rotation, they shifted him to the bullpen and aggressively promoted him because the major-league team needed bullpen help desperately.
I wondered if any other teams had tried something similar. Below you'll see the results of a very specific query: every relief pitcher who has thrown at least 10 innings in the majors and had been a starting pitcher in the minors as recently as last year. To narrow the field even further, these pitchers all recorded fewer than five innings pitched in Triple-A and have posted an average leverage index greater than 1.25 when entering the game.
It's an interesting list. Jordan Hicks, the man with the fastest fastball in all the land, sits atop it with almost 27 innings pitched and just 16 strikeouts to his name. Then we have a Rule 5 pick, Brad Keller, who has recently been in the mix for high-leverage innings in the Royals bullpen. Moving on. Justin Anderson wasn't a highly regarded pitching prospect in the Angels organization, but he has added more than 6 mph to his average fastball velocity out of the pen and given Mike Scioscia another option in his constant closer carousel. This article was almost about Anderson. But the final name on the list is far more intriguing — and not just because of his 80-grade baseball name.

Earlier this year, Jeff Sullivan wrote a pair of articles, each about a pitcher who appeared to be McCullersing. That term, of course, is a reference to Lance McCullersJr., who in 2016 began throwing his excellent curveball more often than his fastball. He's led all of baseball in curveball usage since then. He wound up throwing his curveball an astonishing 75% of the time in Game Seven of the ALCS last postseason. That appearance was peak McCullersing.
He started off this year throwing his curveball around the same amount as last year, 48% of the time. But when the calendar flipped to May, something changed. Just look at this graph of his secondary pitch usage in 2018.
That's… interesting. In his start last night (not included here), McCullers threw his curveball around 40% of the time. That's pretty normal for him. But it's been less normal for him of late. In his start against the Angels last Monday, McCullers actually threw more changeups than curveballs, the latter pitch representing just 21.4% of his total count for the night. The last time his curveball usage fell below 30% was all the way back on August 3, 2015, during his rookie year.

There has been no shortage of remarkable relief performances during the first month of the season. Jordan Hicks and Tayron Guerrero are playing a game of one-upmanship with their fastballs. Josh Hader is striking out basically everyone he faces. Adam Ottavino resurrected his career in an abandoned storefront. But the most impressive performance of all might be what Edwin Díaz accomplished in April.
The ninth batter Díaz faced this season was also the first to actually put the ball in play — he'd struck out the first eight. Seven appearances into the year, he finally gave up his first hit, a single to Jed Lowrie. He gave up just one other hit the entire month. Among pitchers who've thrown 10 or more innings, possesses the fourth-highest swinging-strike rate and has produced the lowest overall contact rate when batters actually swing. If you prefer more traditional accolades, he's also leading the majors in saves. His performance earned him the April AL Reliever of the Month Award. Any way you slice it, Díaz has been pretty great so far.
Díaz has shown flashes of dominance like this before — his 2016 rookie campaign was good for 1.9 WAR on the back of a 2.04 FIP — but he's always been a little too erratic for his own good. Some of his success in April came despite the inherent chaos of slinging a projectile at 98 mph. He's already walked nine batters and hit three more, and he's given up a pair of home runs in May already. A quick look at his plate-discipline stats reveals that Díaz is throwing in the strike zone at the lowest rate of his career, around six and a half points lower than last season. And he isn't really inducing any more swings on those pitches out of the zone — in fact, batters are swinging far less often at his pitches overall. But again, when batters do swing, they just cannot make consistent contact. Díaz's contact rate of 55.2% is better than Aroldis Chapman's, Josh Hader's, and everyone else's.
So what has made Díaz so effective this year when he does find the zone?

Milford Flat fire in central Utah burns 160,000 acres in one day!
July 8, 2007 — Ralph Maughan
This fire in mostly juniper and cheatgrass (aka "june grass") was fanned by high winds. It closed Interstate 15 for 95 miles. It contributed to the deaths of two people. The fire was started by lightning. It continues to grow. There is now an official government web site on the fire.

Note that most of these"early" fires are primarily range fires, not traditional forest fires. Range fires often move much faster than forest fires, and so they are more likely to overtake those who don't flee fast enough.The size and frequency of range fires has been growing. Much of the change is due to the spread of non-native "cheat grass," with which most interior Westerners are all too familiar. This fine-bladed grass begins to grow from the early summer's seeds as soon as late summer, and they produce a lush swath of green grass in the spring. However, here is the "cheat." By the next June (and with drying and warming climate, now as early as May 1) the cheatgrass has ripened, died, and is ready to generate a new wildfire that will regenerate the cheatgrass while the now-too-frequent fires eliminate its competition. Cheatgrass has changed the fire ecology of the West. The result is much for the worse for almost every human activity and for wildlife and plants.
I think a major public policy initiative is needed to stop its further spread and reclaim some of the country it has taken over. I have it on my property. It is very hard to get rid, other than temporarily, although it is slowly outcompeted by other plants if there is no fire.

Iran happy Venezuelans 'defeated coup'
Home/Latin America, Venezuela/Iran happy Venezuelans 'defeated coup'
Opponents to Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro face off with Bolivarian National Guards in armored vehicles who are loyal to the president, during an attempted military uprising in Caracas, Venezuela, April 30, 2019. (AP)
Iran expressed renewed support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Wednesday, as the opposition called for a huge May Day protest after armed clashes erupted in the capital Caracas.
Maduro said he had defeated an attempted coup on Tuesday night led by his opponent, self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido.
Guaido, who is recognized as acting president by more than 50 governments including those of the United States and Brazil, said troops had joined his campaign to oust Maduro, who is backed by China and Russia.
"We believe the constitutional government of Venezuela needs to continue," Iranian Foreign Ninister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters on the sidelines of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue in Doha.
"We are happy that the people of Venezuela defeated the coup, but we continue to believe in the need for discussions as the government has suggested.
"We have always encouraged intra-Venezuelan dialogue."
The Syrian government, a key ally of Iran, on Wednesday also voiced support for Maduro.
Both Iran and Venzuela have been hit by crippling US sanctions on their key oil sectors.
US sanctions on Venezuela's state oil firm went into effect on Sunday in what Washington hopes will be a major blow in its campaign to topple leftist firebrand Maduro.
Washington reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil exports in November after withdrawing from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal between major powers and Tehran earlier last year.
From Thursday, it ended oil purchases waivers it had granted to Iran's main customers, including China, Russia and Turkey which have all vowed to defy any effort by Washington to impose its writ.

Nvidia Xavier Supercomputer Aims To Turn Cars Into AIs On Wheels
Nvidia has shown off Xavier, its latest supercomputer designed to power its self-driving car platform in order to inject artificial intelligence (AI) into the automotive world.
Building upon Nvidia's 512 core Volta graphics processing unit and its neural network powered AI technology, Nvidia touted ambitions to use the supercomputer to power its AI Co-Pilot system, which essentially learns how to drive from watching a driver, deep learning algorithms and cloud-delivered mapping data.
"We would like to turn your car into an AI, and that by applying this technology we can revolutionise the automobile and bring joy and delight and safety to millions of people," said Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
Nvidia and AI
While Nvidia has been working on providing underlying hardware and deep learning neural networks for car makers to build autonomous cars upon, such as its Drive PX 2 lunchbox-sized supercomputer platform found in the latest Tesla Models S, the company best known for its graphics cards aims to make AI more central to the automotive world than just taking over driving duties.
Nvidia is taking its work further with AI Co-Pilot which will not only use the normal array of sensors and external video cameras to carryout autonomous driving functions similar to those in other self-driving cars, but also use internal cameras to watch the human driver and monitor their driving behaviour.
If it detects that a driver's eyes are not on the road ahead while also detecting an obstacle in front of the car, it can alert the driver to the potential risk they could face.
Nvidia also noted how the system could be used to make a driver's everyday life easier by autonomously carrying out tasks such as opening up the garage door before a commute to work or adjusting climate controls to a drivers preference which is has learnt over time; essentially living up to its co-pilot credentials.
Nvidia also championed an evolving long-term partnership with German carmaker Audi to expand the use of autonomous driving and driver-assistance systems based on Nvidia's technology.
"In our mutual pursuit for safer roads, the partnership between Audi and Nvidia will expand to deep learning and artificial intelligence to bring higher automation onto the road more quickly," said Audi's America president Scott Keogh.
Nvidia also has a partnership with commercial vehicle company ZF, which announced the creation of the ZF ProAI self-driving system, which uses the Drove PX 2 platform at its core as means to power self-driving trucks and cars for industrial uses.
Moving into the mapping arena, Nvidia also announced it adding its MapWorks AI technology into the HD Live Map service from mapping company HERE, in order to bring smart cloud based mapping into driverless cars.
In essence, this trio of partnerships demonstrates that the road to driverless cars will involve multiple partnerships and collaboration on systems and projects in order to make semi an true autonomous driving an everyday reality.
Smart homes and cloud
At CES 2017, Nvidia also explained how it is bringing AI technology into homes by enabling its Shield streaming game console to support the Google Assistant AI, helping turn the gadget into a smart home hub.
"We want to be able to turn your home into an AI," Jen-Hsun said. "We believe your home will engage you and you will engage your home in natural simple ways."
At the same time, Nvidia is continuing to mix the cloud into is technology and services, with the introduction of GeForce Now, a cloud-based gaming streaming service that works with the Shield and is backed up by servers running the latest Geforce graphics cards.
Previous services such as the now defunct OnLive attempted to deliver such a gaming streaming service, but struggled due to issues over streaming quality, adoption and the ability to generate revenue. However, as a larger company with more resources and technology expertise, Nvidia stand more of a chance on making such a streaming service work where others have failed.
Nvidia's technology chops appear to be going from strength to strength with the company having claimed to have made the world's most efficient supercomputer towards the end of 2016.

Welcome to College Counseling
At FWCD, the College Counseling Office is dedicated to making the students' transition from high school to college one that encourages both self-reflection and growth. The goals of the College Counseling program at FWCD are for students to understand themselves, feel empowered and knowledgeable during the research and application processes, and to ultimately be happy at their chosen college. There are many factors that influence a student's final college enrollment decision and the college counselors are ready to help students and families navigate their options. The FWCD college counseling program aims to provide support for all students, helping each one find his or her appropriate college match.
The college counselors work closely with juniors and seniors starting at the beginning of the junior year with a twice-monthly college counseling class, preparing students to be knowledgeable and ready to navigate the college application process no matter where they choose to apply. The college counselors also meet occasionally with freshmen and sophomores throughout the school year and host approximately 30 college counseling events, including senior application workshops, parent brown bag lunch meetings and College Colloquium. College Colloquium, FWCD's signature college counseling event, brings a panel of college admission deans to campus each spring to share their valued insight and expertise with the Upper School faculty, parents and students. FWCD also hosts a college fair, College Day, attracting over 200 college and university admission representatives to our campus during this annual fall event.
Traditionally, 100 percent of FWCD graduates attend four-year colleges and universities across the U.S. and internationally. Students who stay in Texas enjoy acceptance rates far exceeding the levels set by in-state institutions. FWCD students' college acceptances demonstrate an outstanding level of preparation, plus an ability to contribute positively to their campus and, ultimately, to their world.
We look forward to working with your family. Please contact our office if you have any questions about the college counseling program at FWCD.

Merry Christmas!! - Crochet, Starbucks and roadtrips, oh my!
Crochet, Starbucks and roadtrips, oh my!
Tomorrow I work for a teensy bit, have a Christmas potluck at work (Yuletide BBQ Ribs! Mmm!), and then duck out as early as I possibly can to drive down to San Francisco to pick up Joel. We're a little worried about the Siskiyou pass down at the border of Oregon/California but after that we're home free, heading all the way down to LA and then cutting east through Phoenix to Houston.
So we'll be away from the computer for a week - have a wonderful Christmas and have a sip of bubbly for me on New Year's Eve!
