Thorntons Recycling opens largest indoor composting facility in Ireland
Ireland's largest fully-enclosed commercial composting facility has been officially opened in Co. Meath by Thorntons Recycling.
Kilmainhamwood Compost - the purpose-built state-of-the-art facility will produce Class 1 compost for use in Ireland's agriculture and horticulture sectors.
Thorntons Recycling, one of Ireland's most successful recycling companies, has invested €6 million to build the country's largest indoor composting facility. The company has installed the most advanced technologies and environmental systems at Kilmainhamwood Compost, which will process 20,000 tonnes of biodegradable material annually.
"Kilmainhamwood Composting is an important addition to Ireland's recycling infrastructure and will play a key role in helping local authorities in the North-East region achieve their recycling targets" - said Gary Brady, managing director, Thorntons Recycling. "As a country, we need to identify alternative solutions to landfill and commercial composting is an environmentally-friendly solution which also protects our peat bogs. Grade 1 compost from a facility like Kilmainhamwood Compost will be an alternative to peat-based composts currently on the market."
Kilmainhamwood Compost is fully licensed by the EPA and the Department of Agriculture. The facility employs 6 people directly and uses many services from local industry. Earlier this year, Thorntons Recycling invested over €1 million in an end-of-life vehicle recycling facility in Dublin.
"Thorntons Recycling is one of Ireland's longest established recycling companies - and these investments are critical to our strategy of becoming Ireland's largest integrated recycling company. We are committed to investing in both new and existing facilities and this latest investment positions Thorntons Recycling at the forefront of Ireland's recycling industry" - Brady added.
Established by Padraig and Carmel Thornton in 1979, Thorntons Recycling currently employs over 270 people at its recycling centres in Dublin, Kildare and Meath.

The Roma are a minority group that do not share a common homeland, speak different languages and consist of individuals of various religions. Population-genetic studies of Roma, as a transnational isolate, have mostly sought to compare their genetic affinities with proposed parental populations. The aim of this study is to assess the genetic structure of the Bayash Roma population from northwestern Croatia, and in the general Croatian population, to investigate the extent of admixture between them. Population differentiation and structure was analyzed on a set of genetic microsatellite data from two original studies (100 Bayash Roma from northwestern Croatia and 195 individuals from the general Croatian population). Results demonstrated that two population clusters best explain the genetic structure. Most of the individuals of the Bayash Roma population were assigned to a single genetic cluster and most of the individuals of the general Croatian population were assigned to another. Admixture analysis revealed that the percentage of non- Croatian individuals in general Croatian population is approximately twofold higher than percentage of non-Romani individuals in Romani population. Higher percentages of admixed and non-Croatian individuals found in the general Croatian population and lower percentages of admixed and non-Roma individuals found in the Bayash Roma population is in line with the presence of ethnomimicry in Roma.


On January 2018, security researchers disclosed two attacks coined Meltdown and Spectre. These attacks bypass the memory isolation of modern CPU by exploiting side-channel attacks on hardware-based optimization features of these CPUs. Thus, Meltdown and Spectre can gain arbitrary access to confidential information in the memory of the computer.
Modern CPUs, so-called superscalar computers, do not execute anymore the instructions sequentially. They implement many hardware-based optimization techniques that modify the normal instruction flow. For instance, the CPU executes multiple instructions concurrently to keep the processor's sub-units as busy as possible (See Eben Upton's post). Thus, out-of-order execution speculatively executes instructions further down the instruction flow as soon as all needed resources are available. Thus, the CPU may execute an instruction before it is sure that the instruction is needed. If later the CPU determines the instruction was not needed, it discards the corresponding results from its registers. This mechanism is sound architecturally but not at the microarchitecture level. The cache memory still holds the discarded results. Unfortunately, for many years, security researchers have designed side-channel attacks that leak confidential information from the cache. Modern CPUs' branch predictors attempt to guess the future control flow and, execute the instructions of the predicted instruction flow preemptively. If the predicted decision is wrong, the CPU discards the "results" of the speculative instructions if the prediction was incorrect. Once more, this mechanism is sound architecturally. Unfortunately, the results remain in the cache memory. Covert-side-channel cache attacks can retrieve them.
The goal of Meltdown is to dump the kernel memory space from a user-space process. In a simplified explanation, Meltdown operates in two steps. During the first step, Meltdown entices the CPU to access the kernel space through out-of-order instructions. When the instruction flow reaches this execution point, it detects the violation and triggers an exception handling that blocks actual access to the kernel space. During the second step, Meltdown uses covert-channel cache attacks to retrieve the cached "inaccessible" data. Intel memory management maps privileged kernel memory in the user-space. Thus, kernel memory becomes accessible. The usual security assumption is that kernel memory is secure and not accessible on a computer without root access. Meltdown breaks the hardware-enforced isolation between kernel space and user-space.
Meltdown may affect any CPU using out-of-order mechanism and is OS-independent. Meltdown has been successfully tested on Intel x86, Intel XEON processors, and ARM Cortex A57. Meltdown was mounted on cloud containers, such as Docker, successfully. The software countermeasures use KAISER. KAISER is a software patch that prevents the mapping of kernel memory into the user space, thus thwarting Meltdown. The KAISER patch is available for Windows 10, Linux, MacOS and iOS.
The goal of Spectre is to reach information from another process. Spectre exploits branch prediction and speculative execution. It operates in three steps. During the first step, Spectre mistrains the branch predictor by repeatedly executing a given branching. During the second step, Spectre entices the branch predictor to mispredict the control flow. The CPU then executes the speculative code that should perform the "illegal" operations, such as reading unauthorized memory. As in Meltdown, the third step exfiltrates the cached data using a covert-channel cache attack. Spectre accesses from a given user-space the memory of another user-space. Spectre breaks the hardware-enforced isolation between processes.
Google's Project Zero released concurrently three vulnerabilities, coined variant 1 to 3. These three vulnerabilities are identical to Meltdown and Spectre. Variant 1 and 2 correspond to Spectre whereas variant 3 maps to Meltdown.
Meltdown and Spectre are not due to bugs. They are the consequences of a new breed of side-channel attacks exploiting information leaking at the microarchitectural level for speed optimization.
It is interesting to notice that Paul Kocher is one of the researchers disclosing Meltdown and Spectre. In 1996, Paul designed the first side channel attack. His attack disrupted the security of smart cards. Since 1996, side-channel attacks have been among the most prolific, complex fields of research in security.
We want/need the CPUs to be faster. Thus, silicon designer added these optimization features to go faster. Unfortunately, most trivial countermeasures would defeat the benefit. For instance, cache attacks may be defeated by randomizing or equalizing the access time, which would annihilate the purpose of the cache. New hardware architecture, as well as new instruction sets, will help to defend. Nevertheless, we have a new class of side channel attacks to take into account. No doubts that variants will soon flourish.

This paper presents a study of a method for estimating the position and orientation of a photo-shoot in indoor environments for augmented reality applications. Our proposed localization method is based on registered frame data of virtualized reality models, which are photos with known photo-shoot positions and orientations, and depth data. Because registered frame data are secondary product of modeling process, additional works are not necessary to create registered frame data especially for the localization. In the method, a photo taken by a mobile camera is compared to registered frame data for the localization. Since registered frame data are linked with photo-shoot position, orientation, and depth data, 3D coordinates of each pixel on the photo of registered frame data is available. We conducted experiments with employing five techniques of the estimation for comparative evaluations.

Umiya Mata Temple is the Temple of Goddess Umiya, the clan-deity or kuldevi of the Kadava Patidars. It is located in the center of Unjha, Mehsana district, Gujarat, India, where thousands of visitors visit every day.

History
In November 2009, the temple celebrated its Silver jubilee. The temple was renovated from donations from wealthy industrialists and farmers. Large numbers of Kadava Patidars came to the pilgrimage, with tents and guesthouses being set up to shelter the masses. Then Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi gave a speech at the beginning of the vegetarian sacrifice on his devotion to his own clan's kuldevi.

Influence on Politics

The temple is an important destination for politicians to win the votes and support of the Kadava Patidar community. In 2016, the temple was visited by then Vice-President of the Indian National Congress party Rahul Gandhi, in order to win the Kadava Patidar vote bank.

Umiya Dham in Ahmedabad
An Umiya Dham complex is being built by the Kadava Patidar community in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The complex will have a temple, an NRI guest house, a convention hall, boys/girls hostel, senior citizen care facilities, medical facilities, recreation and sports facilities, and career and business development facilities. As of 2018, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi was set to lay the foundation stone. This is because the Kadava Patidars had begun to be disgruntled with Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party after Gujarati politician Hardik Patel and his Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti organized the Patidar reservation agitation. The BJP sought to regain the votes of Kadava Patidars through this gesture from Prime Minister Modi.

Umiya Maa Temples in United States
In 2013, an Umiya Mata temple was commissioned by the Kadva Patidar Samaj in Macon, Georgia. As of 2014, two more were coming up in New Jersey and Boston, Massachusetts.

Umiya Mataji Sanstha Chicago Midwest (UMSCM)  celebrates Holi festival in Joliet. More than 500 people joins to celebrate Holi every year. This festival signifies the victory of good over evil. This festival celebration is split into two events – Holika Dahan and color Holi. In Holika Dahan, wood and cow  dungs  are burned in a symbolic pyre to signify good defeating evil. The next morning,  people gather in open space at the temple to  take part in Rangwali Holi,  where people put colored powders (gulal) and colored water, on each other in celebration of spring. At the temple in Chicago, snacks and dinner are served in the free event as children and families participate in this event. In addition, the devotees also pray, dance, and sing devotional songs.

Deal keeps NYRA in play – The Daily Gazette
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 When credibility matters
Deal keeps NYRA in play
On the day the New York Racing Association's franchise expired, a deal was reached Monday that will
By Bob Conner | January 1, 2008
PHOTOGRAPHER: Bob Conner
On the day the New York Racing Association's franchise expired, a deal was reached Monday that will keep NYRA running the Aqueduct Race Track in Queens at least through Jan. 23.
What happens after that is uncertain, although according to a statement from Gov. Eliot Spitzer, "it is expected that NYRA will continue to run racing under a new permanent franchise." Also on Monday, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, R-Brunswick, issued a statement conceding that "NYRA will continue to run racing."
Monday's temporary agreement is a stipulation in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, signed by NYRA, the Nonprofit Racing Oversight Board, and the attorney general's office, which represented the state. With the expiration of the franchise, authority to run racing falls today to the Oversight Board, which had authorized its chairman to make a deal with NYRA.
The Oversight Board is giving NYRA the authority to take bets, and NYRA is agreeing to keep Aqueduct open.
NYRA Chairman Steven Duncker issued a statement saying: "NYRA has reached an agreement with the Oversight Board and the state to continue racing at Aqueduct on a temporary basis through January 23." NYRA had been suggesting it might close Aqueduct if state leaders did not agree to give it a long-term franchise.
NYRA spokesman John Lee did not respond to a question about whether NYRA might close Aqueduct after Jan. 23 if no long-term deal has been reached by then. Spitzer spokesman Jeffrey Gordon declined to comment on that possibility.
Monday's agreement is a revision of the initial stipulation, agreed to last Thursday, which had to be changed because the Racing and Wagering Board declined to go along with it, saying its action was not authorized or required. The Racing and Wagering Board last week approved NYRA's race dates for January, on condition that NYRA reached an agreement with the Oversight Board.
NYRA's schedule calls for racing at Aqueduct until April 27, at Belmont Park from April 30 to July 20, and at Saratoga Race Course from July 23 to Sept. 1, before going back to Belmont and Aqueduct in the last part of the year.
Spitzer has proposed a new 30-year franchise for NYRA. Bruno, the Senate majority leader, on Monday indicated he is prepared to accept NYRA, but also indicated substantive differences remain between the Senate leader and the governor.
Bruno's statement said he had hoped to announce a long-term deal Monday, but "those efforts were hindered by NYRA's intransigence on remaining issues that would assure accountability and oversight to prevent the mistakes of the past from occurring in the future.
" … Negotiations have been very constructive over the last several weeks. However, we have been unable to get the governor's staff to meet with us since Friday in an effort to resolve remaining differences." Bruno called again for "a reconstituted NYRA board" and for public negotiations on racing between the governor and legislative leaders. Also, his statement said, "any franchise agreement must include reviews every three years to provide greater accountability, transparency and oversight. We must also put in place guarantees for the horsemen that purses will be sufficient to ensure the best quality racing. And we must include community input by host communities on development and other issues going forward."
Spitzer's statement said he was "pleased that all parties are embracing a construct for racing that is consistent with the goals I've previously outlined and includes a long-term franchise for NYRA as a not-for-profit entity whose sole interest is the improvement of racing in New York state. I look forward to finalizing franchise legislation for presentation to the Legislature in January."
If Bruno and Spitzer do reach agreement on racing legislation, it will be their first substantive agreement since the summer, although the Senate has confirmed many Spitzer appointees. Saratoga Race Course, by far NYRA's most profitable track, is in Saratoga Springs, which is in Bruno's Senate district.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, is backing Spitzer, while staking out positions to keep racing at Aqueduct and to block the installation of video lottery terminals at Belmont.

Похоронна урна, поховальна урна ( від urceus — «глечик, джбан») — ємність, зазвичай це посудина або кілька посудин, для зберігання праху померлої людини, зібраного після нього по кремації. У рідкісних випадках, такі урни можуть застосовуватися в разі часткового та навіть повного розвіювання праху. Місцем для масового зберігання похоронних урн є колумбарій.

Осуарій також є похоронною урною, але для зберігання скелетованих останків.

Культура

Культура похоронних урн поширена в усьому світі і пов'язана зі звичаєм кремації. Застосовувалося більшістю народів. Урни, що збереглися до нашого часу, виготовлялися з найрізноманітніших довговічних матеріалів — металу, кераміки, скла й каменю.

Зазвичай як поховальна урна використовувалися побутові або близькі їм за формою посудини (див. «Піфос», «Амфора» тощо).

Урна похоронна відомі у багатьох племен із доби енеоліту. Були поширені у давніх греків, римлян, слов'ян та інших. Східні слов'яни використовували кремацію в першому тисячолітті нашої ери з метою поховання останків в урнах і в ямах.

З кінця III тисячоліття до н. е. відомі
 «лицьові» похоронні урни, на горлі чи кришці якої схематично зображували риси людського обличчя. Похоронній урні бува надавали
 форму житла (відома така урна культури Віланова в Північній Італії початку I тисячоліття до н. е.) або
 людської фігури (в етрусків).

У багатьох народів похоронні урни ставили в ґрунтові могили без насипів (див. «Культура полів поховальних урн»). У стародавніх римлян така урна з прахом предків зберігалися в будинках родичів і нащадків чи в спеціальних приміщеннях — колумбаріях.

В окремих випадках сучасний похоронний ритуал передбачає використання як похоронних урн спеціальних капсул для запуску мінералізованих останків на земну орбіту, у відкритий космос або на Місяць. Також технологічно можна здійснити включення мінералізованого праху до складу спеціально синтезованих штучних алмазів.

В сучасній Україні також передбачено законом під час організації поховання померлих використання урн для праху

Цікаві факти
 Оголошена французьким археологом Андре Лємером знахідка поховальної урни брата Ісуса Христа виявилася фальшивкою.

 Археологи у Франції знайшли поховальні урни у вигляді умовного серця датовані кінцем XVI — початком XVII століть, а всередині містилися справжні людські серця.

Dying Heritage (Penang)
In the late 18th Century, Georgetown city has gone through tremendous transformations over the last two centuries; it survived from a swampy frontier, to a bustling trading post and finally the present city of living history. Fortunately on 7th July 2008, Georgetown has declared as a UNESCO World Culture Heritage Site.
On the contrary, not all pre-war shophouse are covered under UNESCO heritage zone. When Penang started to bid for the status of UNESCO's World Heritage City, the city council drew up a plan by dividing the city into 6 zones.. The six areas were categorized according to the most prevalent economic or cultural activities.
Seven street precinct
Cultural precinct of Chulia Street and Love Lane
Historical Commercial district of Little India
Waterfront business financial district
Mosque and clan house enclave
Market and shopping district
Previously Proposed Heritage Area to be register status of UNESCO World Heritage Site
However, not all zones able to make it under registration of UNESCO's World Heritage site. Zone seven, or I should say region from Jalan DR Lim Chwee Leong all the way to the south are not covered under UNESCO's World Heritage site. My worries and concerns started when the fact is announced. Is the pre-war shophouse should remain in the hands of the locals instead of being sold to foreigners. No doubt the price of real estate in the core zone has gone up since the inscription. The questions are, who should benefit more from it? And, who will appreciate the value of it?
Buffer Zone and Core Zone coverage for Penang Heritage Area
Maybe we should ask ourselves deep down into our heart. Either you are Penangites or from another place, do we want the heritage to be in the hands of those who want to make quick money and run? Or, should it remain to those who appreciate the artistic values, its historical aspects and have no fear to work tirelessly to promote and create awareness?
Nevertheless, recently I had read a news from straits time; "Singapore investors 'invading' pre-war properties in Penang.
Link to the Straits Time News :
http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/singapore-investors-invading-pre-war-properties-in-penang
My worries and concerns started to come true. In Penang's colloquially named Seven-Street Precinct (Chit Tiau Lor in Hokkien), there are Singaporeans have recently bought a row of 11 shophouses along Noordin Street (Jee Tiau Lor or Second Street), where Penang's earliest Chinese settlers had settled. On the other hand, some prime location such as Chulia Street, there are about RM7,000 renting out of properties each a month, which is 5times of the price compared to the year 2013.
Point of View of Penang Chef Minister, Lim Guan Eng
Yes, the George Town Heritage Action group was trying to sustain the heritage. But how about the heritage not under cover by UNESCO's World Heritage site, such as heritage shophouses along the Noordin Street? The appearance of the space might demolish in future if it falls under owner who not appreciate the value of it.

i want to read and record stories for my grandchildren to put on cd for Christmas. WHen I use the wondows 7 sound recorder, I sound so far away. I have tried to use a gaming headset with a microphone also but still, it's barely audible.. Any suggestions how I can make this recording clear, and loud? Thank you for your help.
I'm not sure Windows 7 sound recorder will allow fairly lengthy recordings.
Look at other recording applications, such as Audacity, a free download.
Experiment with microphone placement--near your mouth, farther away, etc. This would be my first move.
You can try other headsets, but I wouldn't spend much money on them. And it's tough to tell which would work best without experimentation. I wouldn't run out and buy a $100 microphone.
Keep your expectations for sound quality fairly low. Don't expect miracles.
Make sure you are not using any type of signal processing during the recording. Use that stuff only on playback, if at all.
Don't have a bunch of other applications running when you are trying to record.
You may be able to improve the sound quality to some extent after the recording is made by using an equalizer or other processing. You can certainly make it louder, using Audacity or any similar application.
My Sound is too loud how do i tone it down a bit?

The Gentleman's Magazine, Volumen 161
Escrito por Edward Cave, John Nichols
the one before us, that it is calculated to promote the cause of true religion, and to preserve and increase the holy flame of piety and virtue.
Essays on the Church, by a Layman.— Forcibly, clearly, candidly and convincingly written; we recommend this work to the impartial consideration of all Churchmen and Dissenters. We recommend also to our Senators, and all in authority, to peruse these pages before they proceed further in their ruthless work of what they call Church Reform. How the Dissenters can read it without shame and sorrow we cannot conceive; what would good old Baxter, or the pious and conscientious Howe, or Henry, or Owen, say to those who are now endeavouring to destroy a fabric of national glory which they honoured, and who are pouring out their hatred against a Church for which they offered up their prayers to God, in that same voice in which they thanked Him for their peace and their liberty 1 As we before noticed an earlier edition of this work, we shall not repeat what we then advanced; but we fearlessly declare that the arguments of this able writer, on the great points canvassed in his work, cannot be refuted. It is a work to which the conscientious Churchman can point with confidence; and which the candid Dissenter cannot close without deeply lamenting the violence, the perverseness, and the carnal motives of his brethren.
Friendly Advice to the Roman Catholic*. By Thomas Combes. With Notes,by the Rev.Vf. F. Hook.—This little work is not designed for the theologian or the scholar, whether Catholic or Protestant j but it will be of great service to any who are in danger of being led astray from the religion of their fathers to the Church of Rome, or who are wavering in their faith. The corruptions of the Roman Catholics are chiefly and distinctly shewn; their deviations from the primitive Apostolic Church, and the unalterable nature of their tenets; so immoveable, that time cannot shake; so dark that knowledge itself cannot illumine. The book is well edited, with judicious notes and an appendix.
The Oakleigh Shooting Code, e>c. By Thomas Oakleigh, Esq. 1836.—If any of our friends, lay or clerical, should wish to be initiated into the mysteries of detonating locks, box-triggers, and Damascus barrels; or should be ambitious of knowing how to obtain the best gunpowder, or choose the staunchest pointer, let them first buy this book and then read it.
Gesr. Mag. Vol. VII.
Borrowing won't answer the purpose, it must be bought. The fact is, it is what Blackstone is to a lawyer, and Bacon's Liber Regis to a parson—indispensable. No one should go to the moors without it. No one should sport at home without it. It should lie on the table between Walter's Angler and the folio Spectator: it will delight when all other books cease to please: it is inexhaustible. It may be read a hundred times over. It is a family book: we never travel without it; we slip it in our portmanteau between Mr. Jesse's volumes. It is read after tea to the ladies. We have only one fault to find with it—it ought to have been in verse I
[N.B. Our Reviewer, who is a very young hand, and a Cockney, is pleasant on this work; but, acknowledging all he says, concerning the entertainment it will afford, to be true, we add, that it is also full of the most sound and solid information. Health and long life to Mr. Oakleigh, of Oakleigh Hall 1
May his dogs be staunch,
And his barrel sure;
And a wing or a haunch
Be on every Moor.
May he kill his birds, Like a sportsman clean;
And, without more words,
Whene'er he sends,
Some to his friends,
Let him think of the Gent's Maga-
zine.
What is Truth T The Question ansv-ered in Eight Discourses, by the Rev. T.White, A.M.—This little volume is one that will be read with pleasure and profit. The subject of the discourses is treated throughout with knowledge and sound reasoning; and we beg particularly to recommend the fifth and sixth sermons on the Romish Church not Catholic ; and on Christ's Reproof of the Pharisaical Traditions applied to those of Popery.
The Atonement', and other Sacred Poems. ByVf. S. Oke,M.D.—Though we cannot speak in very high terms of the poetry of this volume, yet the feeling and spirit that pervades it are worthy of all respect; and that we do not mean to disparage the poetical talent, we hope will be seen by our extracting a passage in the beginning of the volume.
"When Heaven's Eternal King, who reigns on
high. Clad with the beams of awful Majesty; In order exquisite, whose power controls Each steadfast orb, each planet as it rolls, Had called from chaos this terrestrial sphere, Out poured the light and wing'd the buoyant air;
Laid the deep waters, gave the mountainsbirth,
The fields auom'd, and fertilis'd the earth;
FU'd in the firmament the Sun's bright ray,
To give the light and glorify the day;
Createdbeasts to range the desert plain,
And whales to play within the liquid main:
Each fish that swims, each creeping thing that moves,
Each wing that flies, and every foot that roves;
Provided each with its appointed food,
And saw that all was perfect, all was good j
Forth from the dust commanded Man to rise,
Lord of the Earth, and Image of the Skies'."
Essay*. Letters, and interesting Papers of the late Rev. Thomas Charles, A.B. By the Rev. Edward Morgan, ^-c—This volume will doubtless be esteemed by the serious and religious part of the community, to whom the name of the Author is familiar, and by whom it is united to all that was pure and elevated in principle and zealous in practice. The Author appears to us to have been a most sincere, pious, and excellent person, of sound scriptural learning, of good judgment, and of an unwearied zeal in the service to which he was dedicated. This volume forms a portrait of him that will be cherished by his friends, and esteemed by all.
Female Improvement. By Mr. John Sandford. 2 volt.—The Gentleman's Magazine may not be considered the best vehicle for judgments on female character; but if persons will do us the favour of considering our age, seeing that we have seen more than a century pass by since we were young, and consider what experience we have derived from so long a period, what maturity of views—what coolness of judgment—what acquaintance with mankind—he will, we hope, consider us not altogether unacquainted with the wants and wishes of the female sex; though long passed the age in which we should wish to be anything to them but what Mentor was to the young Telemachus. Well, then, upon the centenary of our experience, we pronounce Mr. Sandford's book to be very judicious and prudent, and such as imparts much truth in a very pleasing and agreeable manner. Characters neither of women or men are formed by reading, nor much moulded by advice, however sage and good ; but a few broad and leading principles, strongly and clearly denned, may be most advantageously given; and we think the article on Marriage in this work, contains observations which, rightly considered, might obviate much misunderstanding, correct many false notions, and open the way to much future happiness: and we say this, not only on this head, but as regards other parts of the same work.
The Sacred History of the World. By Sharon Turner, vol. n.—This volume is not inferior in interest to the former; and the mass of curious information in the notes, drawn from remote quarters, and brought to the illustration of the text, recommend it both to the Theolologian and the Naturalist.
Bishop Taylor on Repentance.—This excellent and elegant Treatise has been abridged by Mr. Hale, and all the controversial parts omitted. In this form its general utility is much increased, and we do not know a work more full of eloquence and piety.
Frithiofs Saga, or the Legend ofFrithiqf, by Isaias Tegner. Translated from the Swedish. 1835.—This poem was published at Stockholm in 1825, and in 1831 it had gone through five editions. It has been translated into Danish, and in Germany no less than three versions of it, all well executed, have been given. The present translation appears to us, who do not possess the original, to be excellent; elegant, spirited, varied,—while the metre is skilfully changed; and though in some cases difficult, managed with facility and grace. 'The aim of the translators has been to render the original with as much exactness and as little paraphrase as possible. How far in this attempt they may have missed the grace and ease which are the essentials of good composition, it will be for the English critic to decide. The singular resemblance between the two languages, renders it very practicable to be literal without being dull; to copy very closely the form without sacrificing the spirit; and, above all, to dispense with the enfeebling aid of expletives and epithets.' The poem itself is very interesting, and perhaps the most pleasing that has ever been founded on the Mythology of the North.
Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. Interpreted by a Layman.—Few persons are not aware of the difficulties that attend the interpretation of this important Prophecy; so great indeed have they appeared, as to induce some who have written expressly on the subject of Prophetic Evidence, to pass it over in silence, as in despair of bringing it satisfactorily to bear in evidence of the declaration of the Divine foreknowledge given to mankind. Those who have endeavoured to elucidate it, not only differ widely from each other, but are obliged to such violent and forcible alterations and adaptations, as to afford no reliance on the soundness of their views, or the success of their labours. Adhuc »ub judice lis est.—We must content ourselves in expressing the Layman's views briefly in his own words. "The explanation which I am about to propose, proceeds upon the principle of a literal, in preference to a figurative, and a Jewish, in preference to a Christian construction, of every expression of the Prophet. The main subject of the Prophecy, that is, all which is contained in the period of Seventy Weeks, being supposed to relate exclusively to Jewish interests ; and the cutting off the Messiah, and the coming of a Prince to destroy the City and Sanctuary, being considered as merely incidentally alluded to, in an interval of time totally distinct from that period. Where the ' City* is spoken of, it will be literally interpreted as the City of Jerusalem, not the figurative City, or Ecclesiastical Polity of the Jews; and the sacrifice and oblation, will be that sacrifice which was offered morning and evening in the Temple, till within a short time of its destruction by Titus." There is much research, sound reasoning, and ingenuity displayed in the progress of the argument, and the book will repay the perusal.
L\fe 0/ Howard the Philanthropist. By T. Taylor.—This is a vast improvement indeed upon the only biography of Howard which we possessed, viz. that of Aikin; more circumstantial, full, and accurate, both in the account of his public acts of beneficence, and in the pictures of his private and domestic life. Indeed, the man himself is set before us, as far as any painting can represent the reality of life. The history is full of instruction and delight; and a very noble and rare character is pourtrayed. The object which Howard had in view was worthy of his aims; his labour could not be lost; and he appears to have been the first, who ever cast his eye on that great, but hidden and obscure path of misery. What alleviation of human misery has followed his progress !— how many fetters, through him, have rusted unworn on the nail! how many doors of darkness have been rolled back on their hinges, to admit the light of morning and of liberty!—how many hearts have poured forth their songs of praise to the fountain of Mercy '. Good God I how long might legal murder, authorised torture, permitted misery, have prevailed, if this messenger of mercy had not appeared to alarm the consciences, to awaken the judgment, to arouse the feelings of mankind for their fellow men, and to carry to the thoughtless hearts of society the deep groans and dying agonies from the subterraneous dungeons of punishment and woe. We know no nobler
field of exertion,we recognise no purer motive of action. Nothing in Howard can be misunderstood or misrepresented, except by the envious, the malignant, and the base. Neither fame, nor wealth, nor ambition, nor any of the meaner motives that mingle almost unknown with our best designs, had any share in his: the purity, the singleness, the active benevolence, the unwearied exertion, the zealous religious feeling that actuated his whole life, cannot he denied. 'He abstained from evil:' 'he went about doing good.' Can man deserve a higher praise than this? 'As ever in his great Task-master's eye.'
Twenty Years in Retirement. By John Blakiston, Esq.—How much in these volumes is real, and how much is fictitious, and how much between the two, we cannot say; but Mr. Blakiston has made his volume not without attraction to all who are disposed to read them, as they appear to have been written in good-humour and with an attentive observation of the society he lived with. We cannot say his state-politics or his church-politics are exactly suited to our views; and we hope that his portraits of the clergy, whom we know, are overcharged; but there is nevertheless much judicious observation, and much clever narrative in the volumes, which we have no doubt have much amused the author in their composition, and we think he must have not seldom laughed over his own rifacciamentos of such characters, if such existed, as Dr. Butt, and Mr. Coddleskin.
Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, translated by M.J. Chapman. 1836.—There is considerable merit in this translation; and chiefly in giving a closer and better representation of the style of Theocritus than any preceding ones, which had assumed too inflexible and stately an air. There is a sort of antique comic humour about the Sicilian poet—a love of homely, country expressions—a sneer or smile—a laugh and joke—all in harmony with the occupations and manners of bh persona dramatis. Now this, Mr. Chapman has seen and kept in mind, and imitated often with success. His versification also is freer and more varied than his predecessor's The notes, we think, are the worst part of the volume; they have no learning, and too much pertness, while Mr. Chapman's poetical dicta are too authoritatively laid down; as for instance 'Shelley, a poet equal to the best after Shakspeare, and a scholar, second to none.'—Ergo, Shelley was equal to Milton, to Spenser, to Pope. Now where is the use of such hyperbolical phrases ?—Shelley was a man of fine genius, and great poetical powers, accompanied with many considerable defects. His poems never have, and never will get into general circulation: he is a poet for the few. Nothing can show a more defective judgment than the choice of his subjects, and judgment is a large constituent of genius. As for his scholarship, it was very good—all the scholarship a poet requires; but as for its being second to none, 'credo eras, non hodie.' He was a very superior man of intellect, and can stand sufficiently high on the pedestal of his real merits and fame.
Death disarmed of his Terrors, or Lent Lectures. By the Rev. R. C. Cox, A.M. —The author speaks with great modesty of these discourses; but they are no dis
credit to his knowledge, his judgment, or his piety. The third Lecture, on the Consciousness of the Soul after Death, is well written; the arguments fairly put j and we think the right conclusion drawn: notwithstanding difficulties which suggest themselves even on this hypothesis, it is by far the most reasonable, and seems most accordant with Scripture. We must say the same of the last sermon, the Recognition of Each Other in the Life to Come :—all argument from analogy is in its favour.
Lodge's Annual Peerage for 1837 is become quite a library book. It is the handsomest volume of the kind yet produced; with the addition of the arms engraved in wood, in a style never surpassed.
FINE ARTS.
ROYAL ACADEMY. At the sixty-eighth anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Acadcmyof Arts, lately held at their apartments in Somerset House, the silver medals were distributed to the following artists. To Mr. Douglas Cowper, for the best copy made in the painting school. To Mr. Ebenezer Butler Morris, for the next best copy made in the painting school. To Mr. John Waller, for the best drawing from the life. To Mr. John Tarring, for the best drawing of the principal front of Goldsmiths' Hall. To Mr. Conway Weston Hart, for the best drawing from the antique. To Mr. George Mitchell, for the best model from the antique.
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." Painted by ThoMas Stothard, R.A., engraved by W. H. Worthington. The name and designs of the late Mr. Stothard have been familiar to every lover of embellished literature for the last half century, from the timewhen some sweetly engraved prints by James Heath were regularly published in weekly and monthly numbers by Mr. Harrison, in " The Novelist's Magazine," "The Sacred Classics," and " The British Magazine." These works were progressively brought forward by Mr. Heath, who was the author of several clever essays and biographies in the last, and who sold several thousand impressions of the other two works. Now they are rarely seen; but many artists have collected and treasure proofs of the plates. Both the painter and the engraver acquired fame and numerous commissions from their
respective productions in those cheap publications. It may be safely asserted that Mr. Stothard made more designs from which prints have been published than any artist in the world. The print now before us, is skilfully engraved from one of his latest oil paintings, and while it exhibits all the peculiarities and elegancies of the artist's fancy and pencil, it constitutes a most interesting illustration of a memorable and pathetic passage in the life of Jesus Christ. That sublime personage is shewn in the midst of a group of grateful and graceful mothers, with their darling and chubby children ready to be presented to the human Godhead. Immediately behind this group are five of his disciples in varied attitude and expression; beyond whom is a building crowning a rising ground. The engraver has rendered this picture clear, impressive, and highly effective as a print, by the variation of lines and colours adapted to the draperies, the flesh, the landscape, and the sky.
The Game Keeper's Stable, and DownCharge, a pair of prints, engraved by P. Bromley, from pictures by A. Cooper, Esq. R.A. The painter of these pictures is one among many other instances of genius and talent overcoming all difficulties, and advancing their possessor to envied fame, to personal distinction, and to fortune. Mr. Cooper was the son of indigent parents, and in early life had to contend with privations and hardships. Accident made him an artist; perseverance, good sense, and good taste, advanced him to excellence in the department be cbose to pursue. At school he made sketches and scratches, like many other schoolboys; but it docs not appear that be ever made an effort at painting, or even attempted to copy from nature till he had attained twenty-two years of age. In the service of Mr. Henry Meux, the celebrated brewer, he had charge of a horse named Frolic, and was so fond of it, for every man has his hobby, that he wished to possess its portrait. But his purse was not adequate to such a purchase j he tried his own pencil anil brush, and succeeded to the astonishment and admiration of friends. Mr. Meux bought the picture and encouraged the artist, and the latter has done credit to his master and fostering friend. From the days of Snyders perhaps no artist has pourtrayed the horse and other animals with greater truth, beauty, and expression than Cooper; and it may be said that he far exceeds that admirable artist in delineating the human figure in varied and powerful action, which is fully exemplified in his battle scenes.
The two prints before us, are plain simple representations of common nature;
a man, a horse, and dogs; but even with such materials, without any romantic or picturesque scenery, without any forced striking effects of sky, or light and shade, the eye is pleased, the mind is satisfied. The old grey pony, represented most admirably foreshortened both from before and behind, isevidently a faithful portrait; whilst the spaniels and the sportsman have unquestionable resemblances to living prototypes. Breadth and simplicity of effect, masterly drawing and pencilling, with harmony and truth of colour and chiaroscuro, are unitedly displayed in this pair of pleasing prints. It is but justice to a young engraver, P. Bromley, to say that he has manifested much skill in translating into one colour the oil pictures of the painter. As specimens of the mezzotint style they are full of feeling and good taste. The subjects are, first, a sportsman with his gun, two dogs, and a grey pony, in the field with a pheasant just shot; and secondly, the pony in the stable, with two spaniels, and dead game hanging up.

'Fight for Justice' Series
TLSC Client Brings Reform to Ellis County Sheriff's Department
Rubin Solis, a Waxahachie resident with Huntington's disease, made mental health and disability training a condition to dropping a lawsuit against the Ellis County Sheriff's Department, as reported by KERA.
Mr. Solis was walking home from his daughter's home when he was violently arrested by Ellis Co. deputies — receiving a black eye, dislocated thumb, and kidney bruising. He had told the deputies about his Huntington's disease, but they did not know how to or failed to accommodate his disability.
Keren Carrión / KERA News
After his arrest, Solis took action. With help from the Texas Legal Services Center, he filed a lawsuit against Ellis County which claimed the deputies violated his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
As a condition to dropping the lawsuit, the department agreed to receive additional training through The Arc of Texas. The training focuses on four areas: identifying disabilities, communication, accommodations and support.
"Ellis County is going to be a better, safer place for people who have disabilities."
Roughly 30,000 people with disabilities live in Ellis County, including Ruben Solis. He said he's proud of standing up for his rights and making his community safer.

Q: Gunicorn/ Uvicorn worker times out on AWS Fargate I try to deploy my FastAPI application on AWS Fargate with an application load balancer in front of it. The application makes calls to AWS Aurora.
My stack is as follows

*

*Python 3.7.4

*uvicorn 0.11.3

*gunicorn 19.9.0

*fastapi 0.53.2

*asyncpg 0.20.1

My container runs fine when deploying locally or on an EC2 instance, but workers time out during boot when deploying on Fargate. The logs don't give me any clue what is wrong (see below).
Things I tried to overcome this issue:

*

*increase memory for Fargate Task

*relax security group settings

*increase gunicorn timeout value

None of it had any effect.
However, when trying to deploy a barebone FastAPI application (just one root route, no dependencies) the application manages to boot and I can access it via the Load Balancer. Once I add my custom routes the issue occurs.
What other options do I have to debug this?
If guincorn can't start my workers, is there a way to log the issue?

Made by God: Curious Creatures is a 4 Books in 1 volume of Level 2 I Can Read titles, including: Rain Forest Friends, Jungle Beasts, Polar Pals, and Curious Creatures Down Under. Targeted for ages 4-8, this book is is appropriate through all elementary ages and even for older reluctant readers.
"Echidnas live all over Australia. They like deserts, forests, and hills. As long as they find their favorite foods -- ants and termites -- they are happy. Echidnas do not have teeth. They catch their dinner with a sticky tongue and crush the bugs before eating. Echidnas are nocturnal so they eat at night" (p. 114-115).
First of all, this paragraph is spread over two pages, and each sentence is on a double-spaced line by itself and printed in a slightly larger font. This makes it easy for emerging and reluctant readers to follow, but it is presented in a way that keeps it from seeming "babyish."
Also, there is a gradual introduction of more difficult vocabulary, like Echidna and Australia and nocturnal, but mostly one- and two-syllable words so young readers aren't overwhelmed.
Then there are the facts presented -- just in this paragraph alone, we learned geography, animal behavior, biology/zoology, and the meaning of the word nocturnal.
The best part of all, is that this compilation of books is written from a biblical worldview, and the information is presented from a creationist perspective. Everything is presented as being made by God for a purpose.
Curious Creatures is a wonderful cross-curricular resource, and it is supplementing our science studies. But, for any animal lover, it is a fun book for pleasure reading and will entice kids to delve inside and not only learn more about God's marvelous creation, but also to hone their reading skills.

Pittsburgh's Poetess is back as part of positive self-expression campaign
Billie Nardozzi made a "name" for himself around Pittsburgh as a well-regarded rock musician and poet long before he ever transitioned into Rachel Ann Bovier, self-proclaimed "Pittsburgh's Poetess." Rachel's name, however, has quickly eclipsed Billie's in recent years, thanks to her consistent self-funded poetry placed in local newspapers and a continuous string of billboards along Bigelow Boulevard. The billboards, each featuring a portrait of Rachel and her affirming seasonal greetings, soon became an ongoing counter-cultural conversation in the city, turning Rachel into somewhat of an enigmatic local legend. The local buzz and anticipation for each new board built as the series continued – ultimately leading to confusion and disappointment when they abruptly vanished last year.
The reason for the disappearance, as it turns out, was strictly financial. While Rachel continues to possess an endless supply of creativity and goodwill, the ability for a local poet to subsidize messaging through expensive outdoor media is, unfortunately, finite.
That's when BOOM Creative stepped in. Long-time fans of Ms. Bovier's idiosyncratic work, we decided to sponsor a special Christmas holiday board featuring Rachel as a kick-off for their "Just Do You." campaign, celebrating the spirit of individual expression and personal worth throughout the city. A perfect symbol of self-realization and pride, Rachel offers a message of supportive affirmation for all Pittsburghers as the holiday season is upon us.
"The 'Just Do You. Celebrate Your Self, Pittsburgh' concept is an idea that occurred to us as a result of being involved with so many public health awareness efforts for the past five years," says BOOM President Scot Fleming. BOOM handles the creative messaging for several different statewide and county campaigns covering substance misuse prevention, mental health & wellness, anti-stigma, prescription sharing, addiction recovery, among others. "Rachel's billboards always brought a smile to our faces when we drove past them. When we found out she had been paying for them years and had run out of funding, that's what got us thinking about this."
Nyde Handley, BOOM Creative Director sums it up, "In today's increasingly fragmented society, there are all too many opportunities for people to be made to feel marginalized or "less than" for a multitude of superfluous reasons. For years, Rachel's poetry and billboards have inspired Pittsburghers with simple, exceedingly positive sentiments that advocate finding yourself simply by being yourself. That important spirit of unique "self" is something that BOOM wants to celebrate."
BOOM plans to continue the "Just Do You." campaign with other local individuals and participants across the upcoming months. Rachel Ann Bovier is the subject of an upcoming documentary by Brett Yasko. She self-publishes poetry via local media, poetry readings and speaking engagements, and encourages interaction via the prominent inclusion of her phone number 412-921-3694

Q: Find Number of lines in a folder Is it possible using PHP to parse through an entire directory to find number of lines of code in all the files in the dir so this value can be output to the screen - using PHP?

A: $dit = new DirectoryIterator(".");
$count = 0;
$dit->rewind();
while ($dit->valid()) {
    if ($dit->isFile()) {
        foreach (new SplFileObject($dit->current()) as $line) {
            $count++;
        }
    }
    $dit->next();
}
echo $count; //output line count

To include subdirectories:
$dit = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator("."));
$count = 0;
$dit->rewind();
while ($dit->valid()) {
    if ($dit->isFile()) {
        foreach (new SplFileObject($dit->current()) as $line) {
            $count++;
        }
    }
    $dit->next();
}
echo $count; //output line count

A: This wouldn't be particularly efficient, but you could load each file in the directory and count the number of lines:
$total_lines = 0;
chdir($directory);

foreach (glob("*") as $file)
{
  if (is_file($file))
  {
    $total_lines += count(file($file));
  }
}

You might want a more restrictive glob construct if the directory contains non-text files as well.

A: Yes it is possible.
By compining information from here and here you get:
<?php
  if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
    $count = 0;
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        $lines = file($file);
        $count += count($lines);
    }
    closedir($handle);
    echo($count);
  }
?>

A: You can use PHPLOC:

phploc is a tool for quickly measuring the size and analyzing the structure of a PHP project.

which will give you detailed listing about Lines of Code (Comment and Non-Comment) as well as other metrics, like method distribution, cylcomatic complexity and so on.
Another option would be to use this shell command
echo (int) exec('wc -l filename.txt');

From the wc man page:

wc - print the number of newlines, words, and bytes in files
    -l, --lines
      print the newline counts

Programmatically, use Daniel's or Artefacto's approach.

A California Pediatrician Who is Not a Hysterical Anti-Vaxxer Wrote a Letter to the Governor…
By Vincent Iannelli, MD / September 8, 2019 / anti-vaccine pediatricians, autism, autism studies, autoimmune disease, Elisa Song, epigenetics, essential oils, Harvard study, holistic, homeopathy, medical exemptions, misinformed consent, natural immunity, risks, safety studies, SB276, vaccine injury stories
Did you think it was over, now that SB 276 has been passed and Governor Newsom said that he would sign it, as long as a companion bill with a few added amendments also gets passed?
I'm glad Elisa Song vaccinates some of her kids, but I wonder how many exemptions she has written since SB 277 passed…
Of course, it's not…
Elisa Song's Letter to Governor Newsom
While many of us wanted Governor Newsom to sign SB 276 in its original form, as he had promised, without the added amendments that weaken the law, most see it it as an acceptable compromise.
And then there are the anti-vaccine folks who want Newsom to veto SB 276 so that kids can continue to get inappropriate medical exemptions and remain unprotected and at risk against vaccine preventable diseases.
"I am a pediatrician trying to do the best I can for the children in my practice. And the best is not simply repeating that vaccines are "safe and effective." Because they're not 100% safe. Because they're not 100% effective. Because parents are asking questions. Because parents are afraid and want to do the best for their children. And because we, as primary care physicians, need to be able to practice the art and science of medicine to the best of our abilities, for the child sitting in front of us, without bureaucratic handcuffs and fear of retribution."
No one says vaccines are 100% safe and effective, but they are very effective with few risks.
Parents are afraid because of the anti-vaccine rhetoric and misinformation they see and read on the Internet and sometimes from holistic type doctors who pander to their fears.
"SB 276 continues to place the decision regarding an individual child's vaccine risk/benefit assessment and whether or not that child qualifies for a vaccine medical exemption in the hands of the government."
SB 276 simply says that you can't make up your own reasons for why kids can't get vaccinated and protected.
"SB 276 continues to too narrowly limit the criteria for "appropriate" vaccine exemptions to those contraindications detailed by the CDC, AAP and ACIP. These criteria do not take into account the emerging field of vaccinomics pioneered by the Mayo Clinic and the latest research on increased risk for various chronic illnesses including autoimmunity after vaccination in certain vulnerable populations. Epigenetics is making it increasingly clear that the one-size-fits-all CDC schedule will not work. "
As other states have done, SB 276 and SB 714, set rules on what counts as a medical exemption.
"SB276 continues to essentially eliminate all medical exemptions, even those consistent with the CDC, ACIP or AAP guidelines. By arbitrarily limiting the number of medical exemptions a physician may write to 4 in any calendar year before triggering investigation, SB 276 will deter physicians from writing ANY exemptions for fear of irreparable damage to their professional reputation, financial security, and emotional trauma, even if ultimately found innocent. How will a physician decide which 4 children are "deserving" of medical exemptions each year, in order to prevent an automatic investigation once they write that 5th exemption?"
Since few children should actually need a true medical exemption, the limits in SB 276 are hardly arbitrary. And since what counts as a true medical exemptions is rarely arbitrary either, doctors who write five or more true medical exemptions in a year will have nothing to fear when those exemptions are reviewed.
"A Harvard study has found that 2.6% of people vaccinated will have a vaccine injury. California's current medical exemption rate of 0.7% falls far below this number, implying that there are many children whose vaccine injuries could have been avoided if an appropriate medical exemption were written by their physician."
The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. report did not find "that 2.6% of people vaccinated will have a vaccine injury."
It actually found possible reactions in 2.6% of vaccinations. And I hope that everyone is aware that a possible reaction is not the same as a vaccine injury…
Also, in addition to the fact that current rate of medical exemptions in California is far higher than 0.7%, it is the clusters of medical exemptions in many schools that are the problem.
"Until such time when vaccine risks and benefits can be clearly defined in broader terms that take into account personal and family history and epigenetics, this risk needs to be taken on by each parent and each child. And where there is risk, there must be choice. And where there is uncertainty, the BEST person to help that parent navigate vaccines is the person who knows that child's medical and family history best – THEIR PHYSICIAN."
Elisa Song talks a lot about the risks of vaccines, or at least what she thinks puts kids at risk, including family history and epigenetics.
"I believe in public health, yet I care for individual children and families who sit across from me everyday, trusting that I am giving them valid, scientific, evidence-based information that will keep their individual baby safe and healthy, and believing that I am providing them with true informed consent."
It would be great if she truly were giving her patient's "valid, scientific, evidence-based information" and "true informed consent."
She's not…
"I learned how to integrate conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, holistic nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine and essential oils – and it changed my life!"
Elisa Song
Notice anything missing?
$267 for a home remedy kit filled with homeopathic treatments???
She never talks about the risks of getting a vaccine-preventable disease.
And she overstates the risks of vaccines.
"While the media and common public opinion are quick to say that the link between vaccines and autism has been absolutely disproved, they have not done their due diligence research."
Measles: Know the Facts by Dr. Elisa Song, M.D.
It is hard to make a truly informed decision when your doc downplays the risks of natural disease, makes you afraid to get vaccinated, and tries to sell you natural therapies that we know won't prevent infections and won't actually boost your immune system.

Prove it.
Health and Human Service has violated US Code 42 USC 300AA-27C since 1998.
Lawsuit was filed on 7/9/18 in the United States District Court Southern District Of New York
Case 1:18-cv-03215-JMF Document 18 Filed 07/09/18
Pages 1-3 of the court document can be found at the ICAN blog under ICAN VS HHS
JULY 9, 2018 STIPULATED ORDER CONFIRMING NON-COMPLIANCE WITH 42 USC 300AA-27C.
The court ordered HHS to provide the listed documents in the lawsuit. HHS complied: This stipulated order shows that HHS has not acted in its duties regarding vaccine safety, forcing 78 million American children into a vaccine program with no safety provisions. HHS has neglected to perform any safety testing of any vaccines for 33 years as mandated by the 1986 NCVIP
From the legal document:
Whereas, on August 25, 2017 Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) submitted a Freedom Of Information Act request (the FOUA Request) to the Department of Health And Human Services (HHS or the Department), which was assigned control number 2017-0119-FOIA-OS, that sought the following records:
Any and all reports transmitted to the Committee on Energy and commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate by the Secretary o HHS pursuant to 42 U.S. C. 300aa-27 ( c ).
WHEREAS, on April 12, 2018, ICAN filed a Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against HHS seeking records, if any, responsive to the FOIA Request:
WHEREAS, (IOS) maintains the official correspondence file of the Secretary of HHS, including reports to Congress by the Secretary of HHS, and therefore those files were most likely to contain records responsive to the FOUA Request;
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2018, HHS sent ICAN the following response to the FOIA Request;
The (Department)'s searches for the records did not locate and records responsive to your request. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Immediate Office of the Secretary (IOS) conducted a through search of its document tracking systems. The Department also conducted a comprehensive review of all relevant indexes of HHS Secretarial Correspondence records maintained at Federal Records Center that remain in the custody of HHS. These searches did not locate record responsive to your request, or indications that records responsive to your request and in the custody of HHS are located at Federal Records Centers.
The remainder of the documents is legal-eze, signatures and the signature of the Hon. Jesse M. Furman, U.S.D.J.
The lawsuit forced HHS to either provide copies of its biennial vaccine safety reports to Congress or admit it never filed these reports. The result of the lawsuit is that HHS had to admit that it never, not even once, submitted a single biennial report to Congress detailing the improvements in vaccine safety.
Tammy Pike
She's definitely giving "real" informed consent to parents, which is ALOT more than I can say about the average fear mongering pediatricians today. I've been dismissed from practices for simply questioning real side effects that I read on the CDC website!! Absolutely ridiculous!!!
Why hasn't this woman lost her license yet? Anyone recommending homeopathic 'medicine', which she routinely does, has clearly forgotten how to science and should be treated accordingly.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie Broke Royal Protocol for a Sweet Reason
By Now to Love June 26, 2018
royal family,
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, along with their mother Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, signed their names on a painting of one of Ed Sheeran's guitars. The painting is being auctioned off to benefit one of their charities, Children in Crisis, which Fergie shared on her personal Instagram account.
Sounds pretty normal, right? After all, when you're a member of the most watched family in the entire world, you'd think signing a few autographs would be part of the job description. Well, for the British royal family, it certainly isn't — and by doing so, the princesses have broken royal protocol in a big way.
Thank you Teddy M for working on this amazing painting for @childrenincrisis and congratulations on creating one of @teddysphotos art guitars #art #music
A post shared by Sarah Ferguson (@sarahferguson15) on Jun 19, 2018 at 7:28am PDT
While you can get an autograph from plenty of other celebrities, if you see a royal out in public, they tend to refuse signing their name. This is because it's an anti-fraud policy to prevent their names from getting forged for shady activities or sold as fakes.
However, there are ways to get a scribble from your favorite duke or duchess. Earlier this year, before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle wrote a little message for an excited fan when she and Prince Harry visited Cardiff; she just didn't write her name.

— Chris Jackson (@ChrisJack_Getty) January 18, 2018
Like a lot of moms on social media, the Duchess of York posts a lot of pictures of her daughters, but she isn't the only prolific royal on social media. While Meghan Markle closed all her social media accounts upon becoming a royal, in March, Princess Eugenie signed up for Instagram, which had us wondering, why is Princess Eugenie on Instagram and Meghan Markle isn't? Well, like most things in the Royal Family it all comes down to rank and where Eugenie falls in line to the throne.
So proud of my girls…Beatrice and @princesseugenie #royalascot @hrhthedukeofyork @ascotracecourse

Because Princess Eugenie of York isn't a full-time royal and has to earn a living with a regular nine-to-five life like us normal folk, it's believed she's allowed to run her own social media accounts, as she isn't trying to portray the same message as top-tier roles.
While we're thrilled the royal social media accounts gives us fabulous insight into life as a royal, perhaps Sarah and Eugenie should scrub up on their royal rules before they cause a stir again!

A successful algorithm for autonomous search needs to be able to use available information to predict what actions are likely to result in useful measurements, and to choose between those actions based on energy or time constraints. This work focuses on developing mathematical theory for balancing these factors and using that theory to formulate an algorithm for robotic search, called "Ergodic Exploration for Distributed Information" (EEDI). The closed-loop EEDI algorithm involves several components, graphically illustrated below.
The necessary components for a general closed-loop, information-based sensing algorithm.
What differentiates the EEDI algorithm from other approaches to similar problems is the use of ergodic optimal control. The measurement model and belief on the estimates, which will both vary based on a particular sensor and search objective, are used to create a spatial map of expected information gain using Fisher information. Fisher information provides a way of translating knowledge about the physics of a particular sensor and the history of past measurements into a map representing where the robot should move to obtain the most useful measurements in the future. This map can be used to plan control actions using ergodic optimal control. In experimental and simulated work, ergodic trajectory optimization with respect to the expected information distribution (part C, above) is shown to outperform alternative information maximization, entropy minimization, and random walk controllers in scenarios when the signal to noise ratio is low or in the presence of disturbances.
The SensorPod robot, developed by Malcolm MacIver's research group, is inspired by a type of tropical fish. The SensorPod is an example of a system requiring careful consideration of the sensor characteristics while planning. Both the fish and the SensorPod use a sensing modality called electrolocation to acquire information about their environment. Electrolocation involves measuring disturbances in a self-generated weak electric field, and enables the fish and the robot to sense in low-light and in cluttered environments. For more information on the SensorPod robot, electrolocation as a sensing modality, and a graphical overview of the closed-loop algorithm, see the video below. The video is narrated by Prof. MacIver.
In the example shown below below, the EEDI algorithm is used to localize a round target in a planar environment, in the presence of several distractor objects that are similar, but not identical to, the target object. In this case, the belief space (target location) is the planar environment depected in the left column. The evolution of the belief (heatmap) is plotted, as a function of EEDI algorithm. The sensor configuration (and corresponding control variables are the one-dimensional position of the sensor and the bearing angle. On the left, the position of the sensor is indicated with filled black circles, with simulated range measurements plotted in green at discrete intervals. The expected information, plotted over the sensor configuration space, and corresponding optimally ergodic trajectories, are plotted on the right. Similar to experimental observations made using the SensorPod system, EEDI is more robust in situations where information maximization strategies (e.g. high variance or noise, multimodal distributions) are likely to fail.


I could eat mexican flavors for every meal. Well, except breakfast.
But man I love cilantro and a little bit of spice. I realize there are so many more flavors than only those two things but those two are my favorite aspects of mexican dishes.
I needed a fast, filling, and flavorful option for lunch this summer and after making this salad a few times I decided this was going to be my "auto-pilot" option for weekday lunches.
I typically mix a bag of mixed greens with a bag of a pre-chopped southwest salad mix. I've found great pre-chopped bagged salads at ALDI, Trader Joes, and Harris Teeter. They come with toppings which I usually discard simply out of personal preference.
I top the salad with grilled chicken that is marinaded in some kind of cilantro lime marinade. I usually ask Justin to grill these up at the beginning of the week so I can have them ready to go for lunchtime every day. He's the grill master these days and they always turn out perfect. Finally I'll add a sliced avocado, typically a little less than one half, and top it with the Trader Joe's Green Goddess salad dressing that is DELISH!
If I'm craving a little crunch I'll crush up some tortilla chips but I sometimes skip this step. This salad would also be great with some grilled corn, tomatoes, or even pepper jack cheese. There are so many options to make it exactly what you'd like it to be.


have designed the Cortland Residence in Chicago, Illinois.
The house was designed to provide privacy and solitude for the Owners by creating a strong connection between interior and visually exterior spaces. Two courtyards act as organizing elements and the focus for the interior. Privacy is achieved by the arrangement of building forms which block vision from the street. Courtyard walls are defined by planes of glass, cedar and wood panels.

New Covid rules force Theatr Clwyd to cancel Beauty and the Beast panto after Christmas Day
By Matt Warner Digital Reporter
Beauty and the Beast Pantomime at Theatr Clwyd 2021.
THEATR Clwyd has made the decision to cancel its pantomime after Christmas Day due to the new Covid rules announced on Wednesday.
First Minister Mark Drakeford told a Welsh Government briefing that a new raft of Alert Level Two measures for hospitality businesses, cinemas, theatres and public gatherings would be introduced.
They will come into force from 6am on Boxing Day.
New rules for Wales.
Mr Drakeford said: "A general requirement of two-metre social distancing in all premises open to the public and workplaces, where reasonable.
"The rule of six will apply to gatherings in regulated premises, such as hospitality, cinemas and theatres.
This means it is not practical for the theatre to continue with the run of its Beauty and the Beast panto after this date.
The Mold theatre posted: "Sadly, due to the recent announcement introducing social distancing to help reduce the spread of Covid and the Omicron variant we have been forced to cancel the following upcoming events: Beauty & The Beast from 25 Dec
"We're very sorry for the disappointment, this is an incredibly busy time for the theatre and with such a huge number of people to get in touch with we're asking your patience while we process all bookings. There is no need to contact our box office – please bear with us, we'll be in touch as soon as we can.
"Thank you for your continued support and love for the arts."
The theatre added that it was in an impossible position.
A statement on its website added: "Moving from a sold out performance to one where barely a quarter of those booked would be able to watch leaves us in an impossible position. We also, of course, put our audiences, acting company and team's safety above all.
"With that in mind we're absolutely devastated that we'll no longer be able to share these shows, all of which we've worked so hard to bring to our amazing and loyal audiences. These closures have arrived at a time when we and the rest of the creative industries were starting to get back on our feet following the distruption of the last 20 months and their impact will be devastating for all of us – our audiences, our actors, creatives and backstage teams, our community companies and our staff. The thing that's keeping us going right now are the heartwarming messages of support and solidarity that we've already received and we know that together we will get through this.
"We'll be getting in touch with everyone affected to share our next steps. We will, as always, offer audiences the options of a full refund, tickets on credit with the theatre to use in the future, or making a donation.
"This is an incredibly busy time for the theatre and with such a huge number of people to get in touch with we're asking your patience while we process all bookings. There is no need to contact our box office – please bear with us, we'll be in touch as soon as we can.
There is no need to contact our box office - we'll get in touch with you to sort exchanges and refunds – as soon as possible after we're informed of a programme change. Please bear with us, we'll be in touch with everyone as soon as we can.


When it comes to formal events and corporate functions, providing VIP treatment to your guests is of utmost importance. However, one of the most overlooked areas of outdoor events is bathrooms. Having a portable restroom trailer can provide an ample amount of benefits.
Appearance – When most people think of portable restrooms, they imagine smelly and unsightly portable toilets. Portable restroom trailers have debunked this common belief and present a classy appearance that perfectly suits outdoor weddings, corporate functions, and other formal events.
Amenities – Standard features of portable restroom trailers include flushable toilets, running water, lighted interiors, climate control, more room compared to porta-potties, and even odor reduction. With countless modern amenities and the ability to customize each trailer, you can have an upscale restroom readily available at your event.
Service – An option provided by portable restroom trailers is having an attendant to service your unit for the duration of the event or function. The attendant maintains the cleanliness of the trailer, which helps reduce exposure to bacteria and viruses.
At Patriot Portable Restrooms, our family-owned and operated San Diego rental company offers customized rental plans for all of our clients. With more than 30 years of experience, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality products and client satisfaction.
