The Flawed Strategic Logic of the North Korea Policy Debate
In grasping for solutions, the North Korea policy debate in the U.S. is stuck between calls for renewed diplomatic efforts towards a peace treaty at one end of the spectrum and regime change on the other. Both are unrealistic argue James Przystup and Robert Manning.
Pyongyang's recent nuclear and missile tests have reignited the North Korea policy debate, generating a sense of "do-somethingism" that pervades Washington policy circles. Recent op-eds in prominent American newspapers reflect this alarm-filled sense of desperation.
The spectrum of policy arguments runs the gamut from calls for more generous concessions and negotiating a peace treaty on one end, to calls for "preemption" and "regime change" on the other. But the rumblings from both sides of the debate suffer from historical amnesia, are factually challenged and display flawed strategic logic.
Missing from all these well-intentioned efforts at finding a solution is any learning curve from more than two decades of diplomacy by both Republican and Democratic presidents since 1991. There appears to be little appreciation of diplomatic efforts aimed at North Korea's denuclearization or of the myriad documents diplomats have produced: the Joint Declaration on Denuclearization of 1991; the Agreement on Reconciliation, Non-Aggression, and Exchanges and Cooperation; the Agreed Framework of 1994; the Perry Process of the late 1990s (the search for a grand bargain); the China–U.S.–North Korea talks in 2004; the Six-Party Agreement of September 2005; and the 2012 Leap Day Agreement (the search for a mini-bargain).
Each represented good faith efforts and incentives to get Pyongyang to say "yes" to denuclearization. Each has considered North Korea's concerns. Yet in each instance, Pyongyang found a way to say "no."
Yes, engaging China to engage North Korea is a good idea—but that track has been actively pursued for years. China itself led the Six-Party talks, and successive U.S. administrations have made countless efforts to persuade China to use its leverage on North Korea. Unfortunately, Beijing has been reluctant to consider any official dialogue on the future of the peninsula, concerned with upsetting Pyongyang about a peninsula in which it clearly does not have a future. China has a similar opposition to a nuclear North Korea as the United States, but different priorities. For China, it is "no collapse, no war, no nukes"; for the United States, South Korea and Japan, it is "no nukes, no war." Thus, calls for China to fully withdraw its economic support enabling North Korea fall on deaf ears.
Some policy entrepreneurs urge a "comprehensive package" with "new and genuine incentives." But short of ending the U.S.–South Korean alliance and withdrawing U.S. troops from the peninsula, it is difficult to conceive of any "new and genuine" offer that has not already been put on the table.
The diplomacy of the past quarter-century is the record of a tireless search for a comprehensive deal, a Chinese menu of security, diplomatic and economic benefits that would accrue to North Korea if it agreed to denuclearization. None more so than the September 2005 Six-Party Agreement, which included a peace treaty in the context of denuclearization, economic and energy aid, security guarantees, and normalized relations with the United States. Yet, each time, Pyongyang has made clear by its actions that it is not interested in buying what we're selling. Now, an offer to pull U.S. troops off the peninsula or other good-faith gestures would only be read as signs of weakness.
As for the United States signing a peace treaty with North Korea to which South Korea is a party, it is important to recall that Pyongyang has consistently refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea. But beyond that hurdle, a peace treaty should ratify an actual state of peace. That is a step-by-step process of reducing both nuclear and conventional forces. We are far from that end state today—and the idea of a piece of paper declaring peace, a new Kellogg-Briand treaty with a nuclear armed North Korea, borders on fantasy.
Pyongyang would likely welcome talks on a freeze of its nuclear and missile programs, and it is worth exploring. But the price of a freeze would almost certainly be recognition as a nuclear state (they want to be Pakistan) and an easing of sanctions—if it could be verified by the IAEA. But recall that the 2005 agreement unraveled over Pyongyang's objections to full verification, not to mention destroying the nonproliferation treaty. And, if we were to abandon our sanctions regime, what leverage would we have to guarantee North Korea's compliance?
Arguing that sanctions don't work is, at best, premature. Compared to the sanctions against Iran prior to the nuclear deal, those against Pyongyang are modest. Remove their access to the international financial system, as was done to Tehran, and let's see what unfolds inside the opaque regime twelve to eighteen months later.
At the other end of the spectrum, unrealistic calls for preemption and regime change are also surfacing. In regard to preemption: first, Seoul is within artillery range of the DMZ. North Korea has some 250 deployed Nodong missiles that could hit U.S. bases in South Korea and Japan, possibly with miniaturized nuclear warheads on the business end. Who wants to roll the dice? As for regime change, North Korea is a totalitarian state with no known internal opposition forces or obvious factions within the elite. It is difficult to conceive of any viable option that would not end in chaos or failure.
We agree that North Korea's accelerating nuclear and missile programs will pose a significant challenge to the administration that takes office on January 20, 2017. Americans tend to think that all problems have solutions, if only the right policy is employed. But some problems can only be managed.

Notes from a country of origin: Iraq's Position in the EU-Belarus Border Crisis
The ongoing crisis between the European Union (EU) and Belarus is often examined through the lens of EU member states' relations with Minsk, or how Brussels should respond to Belarusian President Lukashenko's so-called "hybrid attacks", where migrants are used as political instruments. However, somewhat overlooked is one crucial actor, the third party whose citizens have […]

Xi Jinping's Political Course
When Xi Jinping became the top leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2012, observers both in and outside China thought of him as a moderate politician well qualified to pursue a political course acceptable to different factions within the Party. He seemed to belong neither to the group with a background in the […]


The past two months have been a whirlwind of celebrations; a wedding (Congratulations Mollie and Drew!), birthdays (Happy Birthday Carson, Abbie and Mandie!), an anniversary, and a couple of Thanksgiving gatherings with family. We have so much to be thankful for and so many great memories.
...until they couldn't any more.
Creighton and the cousins tearing up the dance floor!
Mollie and Drew gave all the kids stuffed animals for being part of the wedding. The kids LOVED them!
Mommy and Maddy dancing away!
And here are some more from our very busy and very wonderful weekend!

Dementia is primarily a disease of aging, and as the world's population lives longer, the number of people diagnosed with such diseases is expected to double every 20 years. In the United States, one of every three seniors dies with dementia, and more than 3 million Americans are diagnosed with dementia every year.
Americans as a group seem to be preoccupied with the horrors of this group of diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. Because we seem unable to track down the primary reasons why dementia occurs, other than obvious factors like genetics, stroke and clogged arteries, there is a sense that we're helpless against this growing onslaught.
Thus, a new study out of Germany that points a finger at proton pump inhibitors as one possible source of dementia is of special interest. And it tends to support an earlier study that drew a link between these drugs and dementia.
Proton pump inhibitors (let's call them PPIs) is a fancy name for a group of heartburn drugs, most of them sold over the counter. You've probably heard of these drugs because they are the most popular medicines consumed in this country. They go by names such as Prilosec, Zegerid, Prevacid and Nexium, among many others. Sales of PPIs exceed $10 billion in the United States each year, and one of them — Nexium — has more than once been the highest-selling drug of the year.
It's a little sloppy to call PPIs heartburn drugs, but that's primarily why many people take them. When you have heartburn, often your body is trying to tell you that what you're eating isn't good for you. Millions of Americans take PPIs so they can eat the bad meals they love. In more serious cases, the drugs are prescribed to treat gastric ulcers and acid reflux disease.
The abuse of PPIs is so rampant that most clinicians now agree they are both overprescribed and overused, and as many as 70% of such consumers would be better off substituting a simple antacid such as Maalox.
The study in Germany included nearly 200,000 patients. Of these, about 3,000 patients were regular or daily users of PPIs. Although there was a clear correlation between how often the drugs were used over a long period of time and the onset of dementia, those who took PPIs regularly had a much higher frequency of dementia diagnosis.
The study, published inJAMA Neurology, was accompanied by an editorial pointing out that if the results are correct — and they do need to be confirmed with follow-up studies — even a tiny increased risk from PPIs could result in tens of thousands of new cases every year. Critics point to flaws in the design of the study and say some correlations may be weak. But everyone seems to agree that too many people take too many PPIs, so this study at worst could create a discussion between physicians and patients about whether they actually should be taking these drugs.
The study had one other interesting side note: Incidence of dementia was significantly increased among patients taking five or more prescription medicines. The cross interactions between the vast majority of modern medicines remain a mystery.
Spring seasonality always provides a respite from the chop and one sector is still holding strong. Today I explain why and offer up one of my favorite plays from this lot.

My kids are headed back to school next week, and I am implementing a few things this year to make our mornings go a little more smoothly. Specifically, this year we are going to use a Kids Morning Routine Checklist. This will help keep them on task and ensure everything is done before school.
I purposefully placed "Eat Breakfast" at the bottom of the list, because my kids love Horizon® Yogurt Cups, and it's almost like a reward for checking off every item on their checklist.
Start by printing out this free Kids Morning Routine Checklist printable.
Punch a hole at the top of the checklist and link a dry erase marker through the hole (you can use a string for this). This enables children to cross off items as they go through their morning routine.
Use tape or some other adhesive to hang the laminated Kids Morning Routine Checklist. It's a good idea to hang the checklist in a place that's easily visible by your children. I printed out two separate checklists and hung them on the door of each of my children's room.
When the child gets home from school, they can get a wet cloth and easily wipe away the morning's checklist and have a clean list for the next morning!
My children are both big yogurt eaters, which can be a great thing as long as I'm careful about the yogurt I buy. I always prefer to have Whole Milk yogurt, that doesn't have any artificial flavors or colors.
When I discovered that Horizon (one of my favorite brands) was making yogurt cups, I was super excited! Not only is their yogurt made with whole milk, which gives it a creamy, delicious texture, but it also offers live and active cultures. Horizon Yogurt Cups are a treat that any mom can feel good about.
I picked up Horizon Yogurt Cups, and all of the supplies to make this Kids Morning Routine Checklist at our local Walmart. As a mom, I am always looking for the best deals and lowest prices, and Walmart always delivers!
Are you planning any new routines for the new school year? Share your ideas in the comments below!
Wow! Didn't know a yogurt can cost for as low as 1 USD. Will definitely check this out in stores. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great little check list for kids. Sometimes they need little reminders.
A morning routine checklist is such a great idea. Especially when trying to teach them responsibilities.
Great idea! I think a checklist is the perfect way to help mornings run smoothly. This Horizon Organic yogurt looks like a great addition to that routine – my Kiddies absolutely love yogurt!
Its always nice to have a list at home to be more organize. If I am a mother too which I am not yet hopefully soon. I would want this list in my household as well.
Yum I had no clue Horizon had yogurt. It must be so good cause there stuff is great.
We got so far off our normal routine during the summer. Part of me is thrilled about that because we needed a break. But your checklist will help all my little people get back in the swing of things.
Drives me crazy when our son can't see anything or can't hear anything… because of tablet. Never ending fights. When I was at his age we didn't care about anything just being outside with friends. Now, for the first time I'm willing to admit that some app can be helpful for parenting as well. We started using Happy Kids Timer. It resolved the issue with morning routines and I'm sure he doesn't forget any of the activities. We paid a little and adjusted the order and duration for predefined activities. It was worth to pay to have more peaceful mornings.
I don't have kids but I sometimes forget to eat breakfast myself haha – and I want to try these yogurt cups!!
Pretty neat idea! This will help the kids a good structure in the long run. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great idea to help kids have a healthy morning routine. Thanks for sharing!
What a great checklist! I love how easy it is for the little ones to follow.
Using a routine checklist is one of my favorite parenting tools. Your checklist is so cute and perfect for the ages of both of your children. And I love the photo of your son enjoying his yogurt. What a cutie!
Routines make mornings so much easier. Everyone knows what to do and what is expected of them. This is a great printable and perfect for kids to follow.
My kiddos and I have a similar routine: potty, feed the dogs, let the dogs out, eat breakfast. We homeschool so we luckily have a little more leeway in our routine!
This is such a great way to get kids excited about mornings and getting ready and out the door. I wish we thought about this when my brother and sister were younger, we needed all the help we could get in the mornings, haha!
Your checklist is great and sadly, my 14 year old needs me to print this off!! I didnt know that horizon made yogurt but I like their brand.
My kids love yogurt and I think Horizon yogurt looks delicious. My kids could definitely use all the help they can get with a morning routine,thanks for the freebie.
This is so helpful. Great routine leads to the smartest child.
I think a checklist is a great idea. Having a visual reminder is really helpful.

What can united 66-year-old former late night talk show host and a 38-year-old legendary basketball player? Facial hair, naturally.
That's what brought Kobe Bryant and David Letterman together this week, as the former basketball player showed off his bushy new(ish) face piece on Sunday (above, left), and the latter spoke the the New York Times about his post-Late Show whiskers.
"I just got tired of shaving every day," Letterman told the paper of note, before adding this cryptic footnote: "But then it became something else, and I'm not quite sure what it became."
Letterman, whose new look is far cry from his suited, clean-shaven appearance when he was beamed into millions of homes every weeknight, admits that there's some symbolism at play. "The beard is a good reminder to me that that was a different life," Letterman said. "I'm hopeful that I will either find something else, or something else will be presented to me." He also noted that his son does not approve and finds it "creepy."
Meanwhile, Kobe seems to be embracing his post-court life as a card carrying man-with-beard. He's been working on his newfound facial hair in varying forms since he retired back in April, and which he referred to has the "retired caveman look."
While Letterman's has moved into a slightly unhinged territory, we'll give him a pass. Kobe, however, is looking great, like there's some serious care being put into his facial hair situation. And if the two ever get bored, what, with these empty days of jobless hours stretched out before them, they can always trade grooming secrets on the golf course.

ments. This paper proposes a phased-array antenna system, with the goal of extending the coverage range of an RFID system.
For passive RPID systems in the EPCglobal Classl Gen2 RPID standard working at UHF, the working range of the RPID system is limited compared to that of active systems . RPID systems for general-purpose applications use antennas with wide beamwidths and, hence, small gains, to receive and transmit the RPID signals. Consequently, to overcome the short range limitations of RPID systems - both due to passive tags and wide beamwidths - a novel phased-array antenna system with higher gain can be used for beam fonning, to increase directivity and, hence, to increase range.
The operating range of an RFID system is based on tag parameters, such as the tag antenna's gain and radar cross section, the distances between readers, the operating frequency, the transmitted power from the reader to the tag, and the gain of the reader's antenna. The number of receiving and transmitting ports is another factor affecting the operation range of the system. A new approach to RFID systems is a multi-static system design, with its significantly better sensitivity to weak tag backscatter signals, and its superior RF coverage area. To demonstrate the advantage of this approach - in which two antennas can both receive and transmitradiated power levels were plotted. For a certain signal level, the bistatic approach offers larger coverage, as shown in Figure 1. Various approaches to increasing the range of UHF passive RFID systems have been discussed in the literature. Increasing the sensitivity of the RFID reader, which can work with weaker signals received from the tag; reducing power consumption; and increasing power efficiency on the tag circuit are methods of increasing the operating range . Other improvement suggestions for the design of the RFID tag's antenna and chip concurrently to decrease the tum-on voltage of the tag's chip for increased reading-range operation were given in . Furthermore, the theory of a diversity system, which could decrease the required power level for the same bit-error rate, and could therefore increase the operating range, was investigated in . In addition, the operating range of a hand-held RFID reader for different types of patch antennas has been investigated . This showed that the gain of the antenna is a fundamental factor ofRFID system range. However, the most applicable way for increasing the reading range of a UHF RFID system is to increase the gain of the reader's antenna, since there is a relaxed size limitation, unlike that of the RFID tag.
For wireless-sensor network applications, the range-extension capability can be used, and this will decrease the number of nodes in the network. Alternatively, for the same communication distance, the proposed system will require less transmitted power, since a higher-gain phased-array system is deployed. One further advantage of using a phased-array antenna system is that the directional information is already available at the reader. This information can be used to find the position of the tags: wireless positioning. In this paper, the design of the microstrip-patch antenna array - including all of the components, such as Wilkinson power dividers, phase shifters, and antenna elements - will be specified. Moreover, phased-array simulations and measurements will be presented. The field measurements, which are taken using a commercial RFID system, will be provided to show that the coverage of the RFID system is actually extended.
Figure 1. Monostatic and bistatic reader coverage compared.
transmitting antenna gains, Gl or G2 can be increased. In our approach, one of the antennas of the bistatic reader will be replaced by the phased-array antenna, with a more directive beam with higher gain. Increased antenna gain will increase the radial range. However, due to the narrower beamwidth, the angular coverage will be decreased. In our technique, the phased array can be steered to two different directions so that the angular coverage is not affected. Instead, it will be extended.
One might argue that effective radiated power (ERP) will be increased by using a high-gain antenna. However, if the average power is calculated, it will be the same as for the fixed-beam lessdirective antenna, because the beam will be steered back and forth between these two states and will decrease the average power. In normal operation, the beam will be shifting between the two states for a predetermined amount of time. The operating range of passive UHF RFID systems can also be affected by interference. The most common types of interference would be caused to the tag and to the reader by multiple readers in dense reader environments, such as warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Signals transmitted from distant readers can be strong enough to obstruct the accurate decoding of the signals back-scattered from tags. How the interference affects the operating range of passive UHF RFID systems through the SIR (signal-to-interference ratio) was explained in . Another useful aspect of a directional antenna system can thus be the reduction of the SIR in multi-reader environments. This is because the gain of the readers' antennas will be much more less at the undesired angles, compared to conventional antennas that need to cover the same area.

transmission line. As the last block of the array system, the Wilkinson power-divider circuit was realized and measured, as shown in Figures 10 and 11. According to the measurement results, the power was delivered equally with an insertion loss of 0.1 dB (812 ~ 813 ~ -3.1 dB), alongside an isolation of 40 dB at 867 MHz. (Figure 11). Finally, the total array feeding network, composed of power dividers, phase shifter, and patch-antenna elements, was appropriately designed, minimizing line losses and mutual coupling while maximizing array gain and efficiency [7, 9].
ured radiation patterns of the array for two different states of the switches are shown in Figures 14 and 15. The 3 dB beamwidth of the H plane for State 1 was 46°, and for State 2 the beamwidth was 48°. For the E plane, when the upper switches of phase shifter were open, the half-power beamwidth was 69.3° (State 2), and otherwise the beamwidth was 73.6° (State 1). In accordance with the simulation results, a directivity of 12.1 dB and a 20 dB difference of the co- and cross-polar levels at boresight was obtained at 867 MHz, from the measurements. The measured results showed that antenna could be steered ±40°.
4. Experimental Results A test bench for assessing the performance of a phased-array antenna in an actual RFID system, to confirm the radiation-pattern measurements completed in the compact range, was established. For testing purposes, an Alien bistatic ALR-8800 model reader and passive UHF ALN-9554 tags were used . The array antenna was employed in the receiver port and a standard patch was used for transmission. For different positions of the receiver antennas, and for the standard patch antenna and the antenna array in two different states, the measurement results affirmed the extended coverage and gain of the antenna array as compared to the coverage and gain of the patch antenna (Figure 16). Due to the limited area for measurements, the transmitted power level decreased by 6 dB from the maximum power level obtainable (2 W), in order to minimize the coverage.

The measured input impedance was well matched with two different beam-pointing directions with return losses of 30 dB. The radiation pattern of the antenna was measured and plotted in a compact range. To corroborate the results, the performance of the antenna array was tested in an actual UHF RFID system.

His Majesty, Prince Don Vincenzo Davide I, launched the Principality of Saint Stephen's own cryptocurrency, a legal tender circulated as cryptocurrency, called SPP Series A. The SPP is an official and unique cryptocurrency of supranational nature, belonging to a sovereign nation, as we can read in its description in the White Papper (link in the annex).
His Majesty also adopted a second cryptocurrency of legal tender and supranational nature, the ATMCoin (ATMC) that also will be used as an exchange currency with the SPP that was officially incorporated through the Sovereign Rescript, signed by His Majesty Don Vicenzo Davide I on January 26, 2018.
The Principality of Saint Stephen is the sequence of the original dynasty of the Roman Empire, which means that His Majesty Don Vincenzo Davide I is the 212th Roman Emperor since its inception, started with Emperor Constantine I, The Great, and carries the DNA of his legacy.
As a sovereign State, recognized under International Law, the Principality has been establishing diplomatic relations in several continents, with the consolidation, bilateral agreements and treaties for recognition of its Universal Monetary Policy.
The SPP Serie A, official and supranational currency of His Majesty, will be part of the main Exchanges of the market, while ATMCoin will continue to be sold only through Bits Blockchain and Bits Club, a platform currently with 13 licenses in eight countries.
With the incorporation of ATMC and its entire ecosystem, including its applications and platforms such as Bits Club, Bits Shop and Minnut, the Principality will make investments so that in no more than 30 months, it will be possible to get about 2,000 licenses for local cryptocurrency brokers and in more than 120 countries.
After that, it will be possible to exchange and trade ATMC with the main cryptocurrencies in the market, like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and soon, ATMcash.
Since the official launching of ATMCoin (listed on June 26, 2017 at www.blocktrustee.com, and August 24, 2017 at www.coinmarketcap.com), ATMC with its private Blockchain feature, established relationships with the 'B2B' corporate market, and will continue to look for strategies to achieve its market positioning in a strong, efficient way, through other integration and application technologies.
Because of that, ATMC is listed right now on 25 binary option trading platforms, 13 local Exchange platforms, and it's been positioned within the Top-20 cryptocurrencies in transactions volume. ATMCoin is also positioned in the Top-30 ranking in monthly transactions volume, enabling its Exchange, Bits Blockchain, to consolidate within the Top-20 in the ranking of global Exchanges listed on CoinMarketCap.
We are also updating the API of the explorer.bitsblockchain, aiming to send it to CoinmarketCap in the next few days. By achieving that, we will experience a dramatic leap in the ranking of that platform to meet the Circulating Supply criteria, which should take the ATMC into the Top-10 of the cryptocurrency market.
As a result, this will attract more investors, companies and traders, promoting the mass incorporation of ATMC, which despite its inception just over 6 months ago, posses the most effective strategy and aggressive market positioning. These are the reasons why our digital currency, with its disruptive proposals, has achieved extraordinary results in an extremely competitive and innovative market.
This policy aims to replace the old, traditional economy that impoverishes the people, divides nations, and enriches only the rein-holders of the global financial monopoly, generating the inequality and social injustice known by all of us. Because of all that, the movement that ignited the creation of thousands of FINTECHs around the world, and that already has millions of loyal and enthusiastic users, now earns the support of a Sovereign National State, the Principality of Saint Stephen.
The ATMC will join forces with this Principality to contribute to a true renewal of human principles and values, promoting an economic and financial freedom never known in the traditional economic model, which in this era is outdated, insecure and inefficient. That's why we recommend everybody, from the unorthodox economists to the enthusiasts of the revolutionary cryptoeconomy and the Blockchain technology (public or private), to learn about the innovative monetary policy of His Majesty Don Vincenzo Davide I.
ITDA Corp. is honored to incorporate ATMCoin as the second cryptocurrency of legal tender. In the end, we want to provide to the Principality all our experience of more than 18 years in the market of payment options, prepaid cards and electronic transactions, building and integrating financial platforms, advanced training, artificial intelligence, digital marketing, e-commerce, optimization of the use of social media, among others.
We also want that our community can also reap the benefits of our work. As of today we have more than 90,000 users, people loyal and supportive of our project, as well as enthusiasts that trust in the future of this endeavor to which we've put our heart and soul on.
Down below you will find the access link to the White Papper of the new SSP Series A cryptocurrency, as well as the links to our ATMCoin indexes and its ranking in the market. If you find value in this information, please share it with your friends through social media or any other means, and help other people to understand and be part of the cryptoeconomic world, with confidence and prosperity.

Q: Why is $routeParams not working? Undefined I'm triyng to build simple applications on Angular and Django rest framework.
I have a next root app:
app.js
angular
    .module('sharePhotoApp', [
    'ngRoute',
    'sharePhotoApp.controllers',
    'sharePhotoApp.services'
    ])
    .config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when('/', {
          templateUrl: '/',
          controller: 'PostListController'
        })
        .when('/:username', {
          templateUrl: '/user/',
          controller: 'UserDetailController'
         })
        .otherwise({
          redirectTo: '/'
        });
}]);

And the next controller:
angular
    .module('sharePhotoApp.controllers')
    .controller('UserDetailController',  UserDetailController)

    UserDetailController.$inject = ['$scope','$routeParams','userService'];

function UserDetailController($scope, $routeParams, userService){

    alert($routeParams.username);

    $scope.user = userService.get({ username: $routeParams.username });
}

I tried to follow the next URL in browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/user/#/admin
I suppose in this case should triggered route with username parameter.
But I've gotten undefined.
Could anyone explain where I done mistake?

A:
"Note that the $routeParams are only updated after a route change
  completes successfully. This means that you cannot rely on
  $routeParams being correct in route resolve functions. Instead you can
  use $route.current.params to access the new route's parameters."

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute/service/$routeParams
Have you also installed ngRoute module?
As the description says, the route is not finished in your controller, so the params are also undefined.
$scope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function() {
    // $routeParams should be populated here
  });

should do the work.

L'Arche Liverpool Walking Together
In L'Arche Liverpool our focus is on community and friendship. We know that too often people with learning disabilities find themselves isolated and lonely in supported tenancies. We believe we are able to support people to live the 'best of both worlds' in providing independent living, with interdependent support.
We work closely with local Housing Associations to ensure that the accommodation provided for the people we support is of the highest quality, is accessible and meets the different needs of each individual.
Each person we support has their own tenancy with a housing association, in either a shared house or flat, or in an individual flat. Those individuals living in shared accommodation have their own en-suite bathroom.
All of the individual flats are purpose built to our specification and are in buildings with communal space to enable tenants to get together on a regular basis to develop their friendships and relationships.
We organise monthly Community Gatherings, days of reflection, parties, retreats and pilgrimages. We celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, and we value our relationships with our neighbours, parishes, families and friends. Weekend activities include shopping, walking and other outings. Holiday groups travel throughout the UK and Europe, often staying in other L'Arche Communities.

Q: Does leaning (banking) help cause turning on a bicycle? I think it's clear enough that if you turn your bicycle's steering wheel left, while moving, and you don't lean left, the bike will fall over (to the right) as you turn. I figure this is because the bike's momentum keeps it moving in the direction you were going, and since your wheels have friction against the ground, the top of the bike moves forward relative to the bottom of the wheels. The top of the bike going north while the bottom of the wheels go northwest will understandably cause you to topple.
So to counteract this and keep you from falling over, leaning into the turn is necessary.
But is there also a direct causal relationship -- that leaning will cause the bike to start to turn? If I start leaning left, I will turn left... but maybe that's because I know that if I don't turn the steering wheel left, the bike will fall over (to the left). I experimented with unruly turns of the steering wheel when I was a kid, and got my scrapes and bruises. Now that I'm a cautious and sedate adult I'm not anxious to experiment that way. :-)
(I also want to ask why airplanes bank into a turn... they don't have the same issues as a bike, i.e. the bottom part has no special friction against the ground. But that would probably make the question too broad.)

A: If you just lean without holding the steering wheel, that will automatically turn in order to conserve the total angular momentum. If you hold it tight however, this is not possible and you will crash.

A: I disagree with the answer, which currently has the most votes, stating that the normal force changes as the bike leans.
Consider this experiment:  A hollow block of metal shaped like a text book with mass similar to that of the average physics student + bike.  The spine (binding) of the book is rounded, similar to the rounded surface of the bike tire.  Place the block with rounded side down on a hard smooth surface in a vacuum with low friction (similar to the friction a rolling bike tire experiences).  Tilt the book the slightest bit to the right and give it a shove, perfectly applying force in only one direction (forward), accelerating the block to 50 kph, and allowing the block to slide on its own after the initial shove.  What's to stop the block from falling to the right?  Not much...just the friction of rolling the spine of the block on the surface.  It's going to fall and it is not going to turn.

A: The simple answer is that the angle between the front fork and the vertical causes the force from the ground to create a moment about the axis of rotation that turns the wheel in that direction.  This has nothing to do with actually riding the bike, and it will happen even if the bike is stationary.
Basically, if you project the axis of (steering) rotation all the way through the wheel, top to bottom, it will not be coincident with the point of contact with the ground.  When the bike leans over, the upward (normal) force from the ground is not in the same plane as the axis of rotation, which causes a moment about that axis.
When the bike begins to turn, the frictional component of the contact force will cause the force to go back into the same plane as the axis of rotation, which causes the wheel to hold its position steady.

A: What happens if you lean on bike while trying to ride straight?
It happens that you turn on same side you lean.
Why, because you have to generate centrifugal force and lean back up if you do not want to fall down. So if you lean left you have to make left turn in order to generate force which will turn you straight position.
If you turn too much left you will eventually fall on right because of too much centrifugal force kicking you other side.

A: if you just lean, the steering wheel will turn in order to conserve angular momentum!
Have you ever tried to ride your bike not holding the steering wheel with your hands?
If you try not moving just on a straight line, leaning your weight left or right is exactly how you will curve your trajectory.
Try it! I guarantee no trips to the hospital will be needed. I do it on regular basis when, for example, I drink or stretch my back during long bicycle rides!

A: What makes anything travel in a circle?
You need a continuous lateral force toward the center.
Without that, it will just travel in a straight line.
You've seen vector diagrams, right?
Look at you and the bike from directly behind.
There's a lift vector starting where the wheels contact the road, extending directly up through the center of mass.
If you and the bike are traveling in a straight line, the vector points perpendicular to the road, doing nothing but supporting your weight.
If you and the bike are traveling in a curve, you are leaning into the curve, and the vector also points into the curve.
If you project that vector onto the ground, it has a horizontal component.
That horizontal component of the lift vector is the force that is accelerating you inward toward the center of the curve.
Without it, you would not be turning.
BTW, aircraft work exactly the same way. What banking does is tilt the lift vector, so its horizontal component provides a horizontal acceleration into the center of the curve.
Got that?
Now, how do you start a turn, say, a turn to the left?
You do it by turning slightly to the right, which causes you to fall to the left.
When you have fallen far enough to the left, you stop turning to the right, so you stop falling to the left, and now you are in a left turn.
Essentially, the way to stay up on a bicycle is if you start falling to the right, turn to the right, and it will stop your fall.
Similarly for the left.
By the same token, if you want to fall to the left, don't turn left, turn right.
So by moving your point of contact left or right, you can always control your angle of bank.
It all happens very quickly so you might not notice,
and you don't think about it because your cerebellum is doing all the work.
Another effect is the gyroscopic action of the front wheel.
If you pull the right handlebar toward you ever so slightly, the wheel precesses to put the whole bike into a lean to the left.
That also helps to start the turn.
Then there's the rake angle of the front fork, which has still another effect.

A: Gyroscopic force, rake, trail etc. have been identifiers for theories why bikes don't fall when moving. Camber would be a better one. The bike can stay upright by camber so leaning is the natural expression of bicycling. To understand camber, watch a bicycle fall over. The wheels are held at the road by the camber force. A force balance on the bike will reveal the total lateral force is equal to the weight of the bike and the angle of tip. (linear approximation) Wilson-Jones in 1951 measured lean angle for several turn radii and demonstrated that this relationship is also true when moving. So any time you lean, the bike will move in the direction of the lean. The steering mechanism, however, will act to steer the bike into the lean and return the bike upright. If you lean and hold the handlebars, you initiate the turn and can easily set the angle of lean by steering torque and lean moment.

A: To make the front wheel lean to the left, I'd have to push the top of the wheel to the left.  Imagine that the wheel is composed of a series of segments, each connected to the hub by a spoke but disconnected from each other. To "lean to the left", I would give each segment a push to the left as it neared the top.  But that would deflect the segment - it would no longer be moving directly forward, but its path would instead be angled off to the left.  After the wheel makes one complete rotation, with the same push given to every segment, the angular velocity of the whole wheel would in fact be turned to the left.  Camber and caster and ground friction are involved, but, yes, leaning is enough to explain the wheel's turning to the left.
This is easy to demonstrate.  Lift a bike up by the frame (not the handlebars), optionally set it on a block, get the front wheel spinning, then lean the frame to the side.

A: Yes. A lean induces a side force that makes the bike follow a circular path.

A: Most people just turn the handle bars when very slow and stick their leg out to handle any lean issues.
The secret of leaning first at higher speeds is to overcome the gyroscopic stability of the spinning wheels and move them to a turning bank angle.
Once at this angle, the handle bars "follow" to rebalance inward and outward forces in the turn.
In an aircraft, this is called "centering the ball" WRT to bottom of the plane.  The rudder is the "handle bars".
The bank is the "lean".
One may more closely compare a turning plane to a turn on skis.  The plane "sets its edge" by presenting more drag area to the former direction of flight (by banking) while the excess lift from the wing pulls it in a new one.  Rudder is added, as needed, to recenter the "ball".


Homepage > What was Nazi Germany?
Nazi Germany was the [totalitarian] regime that ran Germany, countries and regions annexed by Germany, and countries occupied by Germany during World War II, between January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor of Germany, and May 8, 1945, when Germany surrendered to the Allied troops led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union.
One of the central aspects of Nazi Germany was its racist ideology, especially its virulent [antisemitism], based on the concept that the German, or Aryan, race was superior to all others, and that the presence of Jews and certain other groups such as the Roma and Sinti, polluted and threatened German society. In its efforts to "purify" German society, it also persecuted thousands on the basis of their sexuality or physical and mental disabilities.

A View of All Religions: And the Religious Ceremonies of All Nations at the ...
terms of the most abject submission, thereby exhibiting, in the most striking manner, the infinite distance there is between the Supreme Being and man.
Another religious ceremony performed by the emperor, is that of ploughing the earth with his own hands. By some writers this act has been thought merely political for the sake of encouraging agriculture. But in one of the canonical books it is asserted, that he tills the earth to the Deity, that he may have it in his power to present a part of the grain to him in sacrifice. The empress and princesses manage silk worms, in order to make vestinents for sacrificing in. Therefore, if the emperor and princes till the gronnd, or the empress breeds silk worms, it is to shew that respect and veneration which they entertain for the spirit who rules the universe.
Staunton, in his narrative of Lord Macartney's embassy to China, asserts that there is no state religion acknowledged or encouraged in China. The faith of most of the common people is that of Fo; many of the Mandarins have another, and that of the emperor different from theirs. But the temples, consecrated to religious worship, are scarcely distinguishable from common dwelling-houses. The circular lofty structures, called by Europeans Pagodas, are of various kinds, appropriated to various uses, but none for religious worship. In many instances there is a similarity in the exterior forms of the religion of Fo, and that of the Roman church. Upon the altars of the Chinese temples were placed behind a screen, an image of Shin-moo, or the holy mother, sitting with a child in her arms, in an alcove, with rays of glory round her head, and tapers constantly burning before her.
The temples of Fo contain more images than are met with in most Christian churches. There was one female figure particularly prayed to by unmarried women who desire a husband, and by married women who wish for children. But as the doctrine of Fo admits of a subordinate deity, propitious to every wish that can be formed in the human mind; as the government of the country never interferes with mere opinions, nor prohibits any belief which may not affect the peace of society; it is no wonder it should spread among those classes of the people who are dissatisfied with the ordinary events of nature. Thus from extreme superstition, the temples are particularly frequented, and the superintendant deity first consulted, previons to the undertaking of any thing of importance; whether it be to enter into the matrimonial state, to set out on a journey, to make or conclude a bargain, or any other momentous event. There are various methods of doing this, one of which is a piece of wood, of six or eight equal sides or surfaces, each having its particu. lar mark, is thrown into the air; the side which is uppermost, after reaching the ground, is examined and referred by the priest to its correspondent mark on the book of fate. If the first throw accord with the wishes of him who made it, he prostrates himself in gratitude, and cheerfully undertakes the business. If the throw be unpropitious he makes à sec. ond trial; but the third throw must decide the question. The temples are always accessible to consult the will of heaven ; and their adoration consists more in giving thanks than offering prayers.
SECTION II.
THE RELIGION OF THIBET,
Or the Grand Lama; And also of the Heathen Tartars in general.
The name of the Grand Lama is given to the sovereign pontiff, or high priest, of the Thibetian Tartars, who resides at Patoli, a vast palace on a mountain near the banks of Barampooter, about seven miles from Lahassa. The foot of this mountain is inhabited by twenty thousand lamas, or priests, who have their separate apartments around the mountain ; and according to their respective qualities, are placed nearer, or at a greater distance from, the sovereign pontiff. He is not only worshipped by the Thibetians, but also is the great object of adoration for the various tribes of heathen Tartars who roam through the vast tract of continent which stretches from the banks of the Wolga to Correa, on the sea of Japan. He is not only the sovereign pontiff, the vicegerent of the Deity on earth, but the more remote Tartars are said to absolutely regard him as the Deity himself, and call him God, the everlusting Father of heaven. They believe him to be immortal, and endowed with all knowledge and virtue. Every year they come up from different parts to worship, and make rich offerings at bis shrine. Even the emperor of China, who is a Manchou Tartar, does not fail in acknowledgements to him in
his religious capacity ; and he actually entertains, at a great expense in the palace of Pekin, an inferior Lama, deputed as his nuncio from Thibet. The Grand Lama, it has been said, is never to be seen but in a secret place of his palace, amidst a great number of lamps, sitting cross-legged on a cushion, and decked in every part with gold and precious stones ; where at a distance the people prostrate themselves before him, it. not being lawful for any so much as to kiss his feet. He returns not the least sign of respect, nor ever speaks, even to the greatest princes ; but only lays his hand upon their heads, and they are fully persuaded they receive from thence a full forgiveness of all their sins.
The Sunniasses, or Indian pilgrims, often visit Thibet as a holy place; and the Lama always entertains a body of two or three hundred in his pay. Besides his religious influence and authority, the Grand Lama is possessed of unlimited power throughout his dominions, which are very extensive. The inferior Lamas, who form the most numerous, as well as the most powerful body in the state, have the priesthood entirely in their hands; and, besides, fill many monastic orders, which are held in great veneration among them. The whole country, like Italy, abounds with priests ; and they entirely subsist on the great number of rich presents which are sent them from the utmost extent of Tartary, from the empire of the Great Mogul, and from almost all parts of the Indies.
- The opinion of those who are reputed the most orthodox among the Thibetians is, that when the Grand Lama seems to die, either of age or infirmity, his soul, in fact, only quits a crazy habitation, to look for another, younger or better; and it is discovered in the body of some child by certain tokens, known only to the Lamas or Priests, in which order he always appears.
According to the doctrine of this metemsychosis, the soul is always in action, and never at rest : for no sooner does she leave her old habitation, than she enters a new one. The Dalay being a divine person, can find no better lodging than the body of his successor ; or the Fo, residing in the Dalay Lama, which passes to his successor ; and this being a god, to whom all things are known, the Dalay Lama is therefore acquainted with every thing which happened during his residence in his former body.
This religion is said to have been of three thousand years standing; and neither time, nor the intluence of men, bas had the power of shaking the authority of the Grand Lama..

Eagle-eyed Smriti spots 'hidden camera' in Fabindia fitting room but store says surveillance devices are meant to catch shoplifters
By Mail Today Reporter
Published: 19:00 EDT, 3 April 2015 | Updated: 20:23 EDT, 3 April 2015
A womanly intuition made her look again at the mirror in Fabindia store's changing room.
Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani had gone with husband Zubin and their little daughter to the store at Goa's Candolim to pick up bed sheets.
She liked a couple of kurtas and went into the changing room to try these out.
Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani, who had gone with husband Zubin and their little daughter to the Fabindia store at Goa's Candolim to pick up bed sheets, spotted the hidden camera in a fitting room
But the moment she glanced at the mirror, she spotted something odd.
Behind her, perched above the partition, was a tiny camera pointing to the place where she stood.
Irani stepped out, called her husband inside, showed him the camera and asked him if her suspicion was right.

When they complained to the store, the staffers seemed lax and not even taken aback by the presence of the spy camera there, according to a shopper present at the scene who refused to be named.
The minister later contacted local BJP legislator Michael Lobo, who filed the complaint with the local police.

The police have recorded Irani's statement.
An FIR was filed and four employees arrested after the Goa police recovered objectionable footage from them, which also included footage involving the Union minister.
The case has been handed over to the Crime Branch following directions from Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar.
Goa holiday
Irani is currently holidaying in Goa with her family.
"Even my seven-year-old son told me that there was a camera pointing at the changing rooms, but I did not take him seriously," said another customer at the store, requesting anonymity.
Speaking to Mail Today, Superintendent of Police (North) Umesh Gaonkar confirmed the development and said the police had sealed the shop.
A case has been filed under sections 354C (voyeurism) and 509 (intrusion into privacy) of the Indian Penal Code against the employees monitoring the cameras.
"We are analysing the data," the SP said. The Calangute police who inspected the showroom found a CCTV camera installed in the ventilation unit of the room.
"Irani's statement has been recorded as a victim along with another woman who had entered the room earlier," Gaonkar said.
Irani did not wish to comment on the incident.
Fabindia managing director William Bissel admitted that there are security cameras in all their stores but not in the trial rooms.
"They cannot see what is happening inside the trial room," he said, adding that cameras are routinely placed at places where shoplifting can occur.
"No organisation in the world would ever dream of doing anything like this (snooping on customers)," Bissell said, adding that the company was fully cooperating with investigations.
Lobo said he called the police and rushed to the store, five km from his home, as soon as he got the call from the Union minister.

Footage from the camera, installed four months ago, was being recorded in a computer at the manager's office, Lobo said, confirming that the computer held a lot of footage from the trial room.
But Bissel said his staff was not able to detect any of what Lobo had said of images inside the trial room and they have to be verified.
The manager of the store was on leave on Friday.
The chief minister, who is currently in Bangalore for the BJPs national executive, condemned the incident.
"This is a serious crime. Not just because a minister is a victim but because of all those women who have been victims of this crime. The government will never tolerate such crimes," he said.
The Goa police have formed a special team to inspect all showrooms in the coastal belt to ensure there are no CCTV cameras installed in the changing rooms there.
Instructions have also been also issued to every police station to form teams and inspect changing rooms of local stores for hidden cameras.
The new rape law which came into force after the Criminal Law (Amendment), 2013, defines voyeurism as a crime with punishment up to seven years in jail.
This offence was not part of the Indian criminal law before the amendment, leaving ambiguity about such offences.

Survey for the Synod of Synodality
You are invited to contribute to the worldwide Synod! Pope Francis has called a synod on synodality, a two-year process where the People of God (that means you!) are being invited to reflect on what it means to journey forward together as a Church.
The Holy Father will be meeting with Bishops from across the globe in 2023 to discuss ways of improving the process by which the church on all levels is open to hearing the voices of people from all walks of life.
We strongly encourage your participation by completing the Synod Survey. In this intentional process of mutual listening, Pope Francis wants us to rediscover the joy of being the People of God who journeys together, listening to everyone. The Archdiocese of Boston is asking as many people as possible to take this simple survey.

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day happened in Liupanshui, China. The car is (was) a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing. The owner lost control and flipped the car into a pond. Amazingly, he survived without any significant injuries. The megabucks car was not so lucky.
Quality—we converted to the best technology 2-stage & 3-stage paints available. We stand behind them with a lifetime warranty.
Satisfaction—Survey scores improved & the BBB rates us 'A'!
Price—Customers consistently tell us that our prices are lowest.
Environment—we went green, converting to the lowest VOC paint systems available and minimizing our hazardous wastes.
Service—we provide free shuttle service within 5 miles and to BART.
Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day is a "gold plated" Audi R8 in Hamburg, Germany. We're not sure there is any actual gold involved. . . other than the money that went down the drain when this happened. As is most often the case, the driver was at fault. He ran after a police chase ended when he hit parked cars. It isn't clear if it was the owner who was driving or a thief who the owner claims took the car.
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1991 Nissan Silvia, this car started out as an American market Nissan 240SX Coupe. The car's front end underwent a radical conversion to look like its Japanese market counterpart. Most aftermarket and replacement parts do not come painted to match the car that they are going on. This particular car had not been refinished since its new front end panels were installed and the whole car had been sprayed with a flat black primer making it look terrible! We made this Silvia look much better by first applying our own primer sealer to ensure that the new paint would adhere to the vehicle's surface and to provide a uniform base layer for the drastic color change that was coming. The car was originally black. Opting for a very glossy and clean look, the owner chose to refinish the car with "Championship White" in our Enamel + UV protectant paint!
Almost Everything's wreck of the day is this 2012 Rolls Royce Ghost, the Driver apparently thought it would be a grand idea to perform a real world test of the car's bouyancy. It did not float, however they did successfully hydro-lock the engine and create the worlds least comfortable Rolls Royce!
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Honda Civic SI. This car came to us with lots of peeling, delaminating and chipping paint making the whole car look pretty bad. This is a very common problem found on cars of this era! To fix this problem we started out by removing all of the delaminating paint with our dual action sanders, which "feather" all of the peeling hard edges so they will lay smooth and not cause a problem beneath the new paint. Once the sanding had been completed the car moved into the paint booth where we applied a primer sealer so that the new paint has a solid surface to stick to. We refinished the car with one of our Base Coat - Clear Coat paints! The car was originally grey when we began our work. Instead of repainting the car with the non-factory grey color again the owner decided to have us apply a Honda original color called "Electron Blue Pearl".

Carbon Design Systems Acquires SoC Designer from ARM
| | Rate | Review | More IC News
CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom & ACTON, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 7, 2008— ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMH)], and Carbon Design Systems™, the leading supplier of tools for the automatic creation, validation and deployment of system level models, announced today an agreement under which Carbon will take over future development, support and sale of the SoC Designer tool.
Key members of the ARM® SoC Designer development team will join Carbon Design Systems and form a new Carbon development office located in Irvine, Calif. Carbon will also gain access to ARM intellectual property (IP) in order to optimize its tools to generate cycle-accurate models of ARM processors, PrimeCell® peripherals and fabric IP. This will enable ARM Partners to create cycle-accurate models of ARM IP, and provide a seamless transition for users of the SoC Designer tool to a new environment based upon models generated directly from ARM register transfer level (RTL) code.
"The ability to optimize the Carbon tool chain to work seamlessly with ARM's intellectual property is a natural extension of Carbon's model-focused strategy," said Rick Lucier, CEO of Carbon. "The majority of our customers are already using ARM IP in their system on chip (SoC) designs. This agreement will enable Carbon to deliver a complete cycle-accurate tools solution to our customers, including the SoC Designer tool, enabling the generation of highly accurate models derived directly from the IP RTL code."
"As a leading company in system model creation, Carbon is a natural partner for the continuing support of our customers using SoC Designer and cycle-accurate models of ARM IP," said John Cornish, vice president and general manager, ARM System Design Division. "The agreement between ARM and Carbon will ensure customers have access to a fast, cycle-accurate design environment in which they can architect and validate advanced SoC designs. It will also make cycle-accurate modeling of ARM IP available for use in other environments, ensuring our customers have a choice of design flows."
"Carbon doubled its customer base last year by focusing our resources in the virtual prototyping space," added Lucier. "Working with ARM, we will now be able to further shorten the time-to-market schedules of our SoC customers by accelerating the generation of accurate, high-speed models."
"This agreement gives Carbon access to ARM IP to optimize our automated cycle-accurate model creation tools for all of ARM processors and PrimeCell IP including the latest Cortex™-A9 application processor. We will be working non-stop to quickly bring this model generation capability to ARM Partners," said Tom Rathje, vice president of Engineering at Carbon. "The model generation flow will be optimized and validated alongside the RTL code, ensuring speed and accuracy. The processor models will also leverage the Carbon model application programming interface (API) to offer a direct connection to the ARM RealView® Debugger. Carbon-generated models of ARM IP will offer our customers the fastest, most-accurate path for firmware development and architectural exploration."
