Radiation Therapy Comes to the North Oregon Coast
CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative Brings Comprehensive Cancer Care to Astoria

ASTORIA, Ore. – After more than seven years of preparation by Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH), the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, and the community of Astoria, Ore., the CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative will open its doors to patients on Oct. 2, 2017.
The 19,600-square-foot facility expands existing medical oncology and chemotherapy treatment services, and brings much-needed radiation oncology and radiation therapy to the North Oregon Coast.
"This has been the biggest community-supported project I've seen in my career here at CMH. The fundraising efforts and community partnerships have been remarkable," said Erik Thorsen, chief executive officer of CMH.
The project became a reality with the support of many people, including former Astoria Mayor Willis Van Dusen, Dr. Sonny Park, Dr. Bill Armington, Dr. Robert Raish, formerly of OHSU, and so many more. Cancer care at CMH has grown from a single room in the hospital to a full-service center.
"We found a great partner in OHSU. This program would not be here if we didn't have their support," Thorsen said. "There's really no way that a hospital like CMH could recruit the kind of talent that we need without the partnership of OHSU and the name that they bring to recruit very high-quality physicians to our community."
One of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute's missions is to lower Oregon's cancer death rate. The collaboration with CMH is the first of its kind for the Knight Cancer Institute and will raise the level of cancer care to levels once thought unattainable in a rural setting.
"We believe where you live shouldn't dictate the care you receive, and this beautiful new center will provide patients access to the latest treatment technologies and approaches to care," said Ann Raish, M.H.A., vice president of oncology services at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. "The expansion of this collaboration will better equip us to provide personalized care to patients across this region."
Currently, CMH's cancer treatment services benefit an estimated 300 patients per month. Local cancer patients who require radiation therapy travel at least an hour or more to receive treatment at centers in Washington and Oregon. A course of radiation therapy is generally administered for five consecutive days, and it can last up to eight weeks.
"Our collaboration with the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute is a significant enhancement to the healthcare services available to our community," Thorsen said. "We are working to bridge the divide of accessible healthcare services locally. Our growing partnership with OHSU aims to continue bringing medical advancements to the North Coast."
CMH will host grand opening celebrations for the new CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative Oct. 12-15, 2017. The public is invited to a community open house on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2 to 4 p.m., at 1905 Exchange St., Astoria, Ore.

I wasn't going to do it. I was dead-set against it!
But the minute Rowan looked up at me with his big blue eyes and said, "I just know that Santa will bring it for me," I caved.
What can I say? He's 4 years old, and I don't know how long he'll believe. So I decided that the magic was worth the mess.
Like I said, worth it.
And the mess wasn't so bad. Although Rowan calls it a "water-shooting race track," it's actually more like a vehicle-shooting car wash....or something like that.
Anyhoo, we set it up on a towel, and the cleanup was a breeze.
All the boys thought it was pretty cool.

The Cane Toad Muster new song by Dane Lyons

The Cane Toad Muster Song
Kimberley Toad Busters
(see article – Cane Toads and Kimberley Toadbusters from Vol1 No6)
It was a great moment when Dana Lyons, famous American environmental singer, known for his internationally famous song "Cows with Guns" contacted Kimberley Toad Busters and offered to help in their campaign.
Dane Lyons heard of the incredible community efforts while I was still in the states and decided that what the Kimberley community was doing in their efforts to mitigate the cane toad impact on native biodiversity was truly amazing" He went on to add "I was very interested in understanding how and what the Kimberley Toad Busters were actually achieving as it sounded like what they were doing was more of a military exercise to the cane toad issue than the sort of environmental approach one usually see's when dealing with environmental threats".
Dana spent three weeks touring the Kimberley, visiting remote communities and towns, and discussing various environmental and social issues that seemed to be of great concern to the community in general and how some of these issues were affecting the Kimberley environment. Dana commented that "everywhere I went, no matter who I talked to, the energy and commitment to the need to do more to look after the Kimberley environment was the same. Burning and cane toads were some of the issues that most people seemed concerned about. What was very clear also, was peoples angry reaction to how government could have allowed the cane toad to get this far, and why they were not doing more to assist community to deal with the problem".
Dana had no problems finding lyrics for his new song 'Cane Toad Muster' He went on to say that "one of the inspirations behind the lyrics was a comment by Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley President John Moulden, that the Kimberley was at war with the cane toads, and that if every man, woman and child was out there killing toads, then the toads would be wiped out".
Dana's final statement was "I had a lot of fun composing this song and I hope that I have captured the essence of the soul of Kimberley people and the results of the efforts the Kimberley Toad Busters have been trying to achieve, and that it helps them in their amazing efforts to fight the cane toad invasion across the Kimberley ".

Q: The string '0000-00-00' is not a valid AllXsd value I am calling a SAP BAPI in the logic app. I have several date fields as input parameters which does not need a value to be passed. So all the date fields are being sent as blank (in postman).
When the logic app calls the SAP BAPI all the date fields are defaulted to 0000-00-00. and I get the error

The string '0000-00-00' is not a valid AllXsd value.

I also tried to change the type in schema to date , but that does not help either.

enter image description here

A: The error is occuring as the date had been defaulted 0000-00-00.
Receive the date as a string.
"DLV_DATE":
{
"type": "string"
}

Handle for the blank values (0000-00-00).
Rather than being defaulted 0000-00-00 - you can perform a check and if it is null, you can set it to  current date and pass it subsequently in the next step

Cowboys come together to save hundreds of animals from floods – now they're being praised all over
Oklahoma has seen some terrifying weather over the last few weeks; thunderstorms, heavy rain and tornados has caused flooding and devastation to thousands of homes and communities. Many have lost their lives.
Almost 80 percent of Oklahoma is farmland and with it comes thousands of farm animals. So many of them now risk drowning unless they are moved to safety.
But thanks to a group of cowboys they are being saved from death. Now these helpers' big hearts and hard work is being praised all over.
For almost a week these cowboys have come together to save livestock from properties all over the state.
They've taken time off work and are using their own fuel, trucks, boats, and horses to get the animals to safety.
This dangerous mission they've embarked on has earned them the praise and support of the community.
'We are beat'
Starting out as just six, many more have joined them to help and many farmers have appealed for help in saving their animals from drowning.
"We have burned some fuel and spent some time. We have all took off work to do this," they told Oklahoma News 9, "We are beat, to say the least."
It all started Wednesday when some of the guys needed help moving hundreds of cattle from flood waters. They posted on Facebook saying they had the equipment to help other families too.
"It spread like wildfire after that one or two calls," Casey Thomas told News 9.
Then dozens of other cowboys showed up to join the worthy cause.
Refused to watch these animals drown
"It was incredible just to see a bunch of guys get together just to help a bunch of strangers that they don't know," said Hunter Webster.
"We just refuse to sit back and watch these livestock drown because I mean, all of us own cattle," said Cory Conley.
For a community to recover from devastation it needs its people to join together, and this group of cowboys are a shining example of this.
We hope this state can get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Please share to pay tribute to this selfless group who are sacrificing so much to save animals.

A UT researcher received $40,000 from Facebook for advancing research in online security.
Wing Cheong Lau, a UT-Austin electrical and computer engineering graduate and associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, conducted research which identified previously unknown vulnerabilities in single sign-on technology.
According to Lau, single sign-on is a way to make creating new accounts easier for users. Instead of making countless new passwords, with an SSO service, all you need is one login to access multiple accounts, Lau said.
"From the user point of view, (SSO) makes it simpler — you don't have to remember tons of logins and passwords, each of them with different requirements," Lau said.
The technology caught on when social apps became popular, Lau said. Everyone started joining the same platforms, so it made sense for developers to offer a more convenient login system.
Lau said this convenience comes at a price. SSO installation is complicated. Providers, developers and other parties have hands in using the software.
Developers install SSO software from providers like Google and Facebook, Lau said. However, any mistakes in this process can lead to serious consequences — vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.
"Bad things" includes hackers stealing credit card information and invading messenger apps. Attackers can even gain access to billions of accounts with a single hack.
Facebook and other providers, in light of security controversies, are working to reduce their vulnerability. Lau's automated testing tool checks SSO systems for errors and helps communicate vulnerabilities in security.
"When we find out that there's a bug, we inform the provider (such as Google or Facebook) and they respond to us fairly quickly and try to fix things … because security matters, since they are the ones whose names will show up in the headlines," Lau said.
SSO has many benefits for tech companies because it allows them to grow and strengthen their networks.
"By getting users to login to different applications with their Google or Facebook identity, it actually gives those companies strength by giving them access to more data," according to Lau.
Logging in with Google into a new game, for example, allows Google to know which games you like to play on your phone, and they can use that data to target advertising, Lau said. He added that with each new login, providers accumulate more and more data.
Lau added that trust in the providers is also a key factor with SSO.
For their work, Lau and his team were awarded third place in the 2018 Internet Defense Prize from Facebook research at the 27th USENIX Security Symposium hosted in Baltimore, Maryland. Facebook provided $200,000 in total prize money.

Red Dead Online beta adds 'Gun Rush' mode, future updates and enhancements detailed
in PS4, TODAYGAME.ONLINE NEWS
by TODAYGAME.ONLINE January 11, 2019, 8:53 am
Gather weapons and ammo in a 32-player fight for survival.
The Red Dead Online beta has been updated with a new mode called "Gun Rush," where 32 players must gather weapons and ammunition in a fight for survival in a rapidly shrinking play area, publisher Rockstar Games announced. The company also shared information on a host of forthcoming updates.
Get the details below, via Rockstar Games.
A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the Red Dead Online Beta over the holidays, and especially to those who have taken the time to provide us with their feedback. Please keep it coming – Red Dead Online will stay in beta for a few more months yet as we have many more new gameplay features to add across the board as well as further changes to improve, stabilize and refine the overall experience.
Today's update to the Red Dead Online Beta introduces Gun Rush, where you'll put your survival instincts to the test, gathering weapons and ammunition while the play area shrinks in this new mode for up to 32 players. Available to play now in Free-for-all and Team variations, where the last one standing wins.
More updates are coming soon including new Races and Showdown Modes and new clothing and emotes, as well as some additional changes based on player feedback including:
Daily Challenges: Tackle new challenges each day covering every aspect of the game, from sharpshooting to evading the law.
Law and Bounty Upgrades: Some changes are coming to the way the Law and Bounty systems work in Red Dead Online to reduce the enticements for griefing. Soon, players will get a bounty for committing crimes and will be incentivized to pay them off within an allotted time. Wait too long and bounty hunters from each of the states will track the player forcing them to either pay up or escape.
Parley Changes: We're making the Parley system easier to trigger so that you can avoid aggressive players more quickly. In addition, it will be easier to trigger Feuds, Posse Feuds and Leader Feuds to take on attacking players in structured competition.
Proximity-Based Player Blips: Player location blips will soon appear only over short distances, reducing the range at which you are visible to others, decreasing the likelihood of being targeted by another player across large areas. Down the line, we're also looking to introduce the ability to identify players who grief and kill indiscriminately with a progressively darkening blip that becomes more visible and at a longer range, so everyone in a session can identify potentially dangerous opponents at a glance and from a safe distance.
We are working on lots of new content that we will be releasing this year. Just a few of the updates in the works are:
All-new missions to build on your Story in A Land Of Opportunities – from previously established characters like Horley and Jessica LeClerk, and some new ones as well.
A range of Dynamic Events throughout the world
Lots of new competitive modes including new Showdown Modes and Races
Plus new weapons and clothing, and lots more that we're not quite ready to announce just yet…
The Red Dead Online beta is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One via Red Dead Redemption 2.

FRA ENG ITA DEU
Città della Pieve
FASCIA 1 CON CONTENUTO LUOGO
The town of Il Perugino
Experience the city
An Etruscan-Roman centre, in the VII century it became the powerful Castrum Plebis, which arose around the Church of Santi Gervasio e Protasio. In 1188 it come under the dominion of Perugia, and under Emperor Frederick II the free town (in 1250) began to resemble what we see today. Political and military strife continued until the XVII century, when Città della Pieve came under the Papal States and was turned into an important administrative and religious centre. It remained under the dominion of the Church (with the exception of the Napoleonic years) until 1860.
ART, CULTURE, ENVIRONMENT
The historical centre still maintains the typical medieval urban layout on which Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassic buildings were later constructed, proof of the artistic vitality of this city. The sights to see are the Cathedral of Santi Gervasio e Protasio (Duomo), which houses works by two great Città della Pieve artists - Il Perugino and Il Pomarancio - and the Oratory of Santa Maria dei Bianchi, home to the extraordinary Adoration of the Magi by Il Perugino.
Aside from the city tower, built in the XII century, and the Bishop's tower, a watch tower probably built in 1326, you can visit such noteworthy landmarks as the Rocca (Fortress) with its five towers, Palazzo della Corgna (XVI century), home to the city library and exhibition space, Palazzo Bandini (XVI century) and Palazzo Baglioni, which dates to the XVIII century.
Outside the city walls are the Church of San Francesco, now the sanctuary of the Madonna di Fatima, the Church of Santa Maria dei Servi, home to a fresco by Il Perugino depicting the Descent from the Cross, and the Church of Santa Lucia.
Fun fact: along Via Vannucci you'll find vicolo Baciadonne, considered the narrowest street in all of Italy for its width of only 50 to 60 cm.
Just outside the city is Santa Maria degli Angeli, a Franciscan hermitage that looks like a Gothic structure with a sail-shaped bell tower.
The town's location just on the border makes it a characteristic element on the landscape, one in which the countryside of Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany come seamlessly together, an area enhanced by the beauty of nature: gently rolling hills that show off all the colours used by Il Perugino in his art, from the silvery green of the countryside around the his lovely village, which exalts the softened shapes of the cultivated fields, to the intense red of terracotta bricks, an echo of an ancient local tradition that dates to the early 1200s.

Church of Santi Gervasio e Protasio
The Church of Saints Gervasius and Protasius, which is the cathedral of Città della Pieve, is located where Piazza Gramsci and Piazza Plebiscito, the town's central squares, meet.
Church of Santa Maria dei Servi
The Gothic church of Santa Maria dei Servi is located just outside the medieval walls of Città della Pieve, near the Porta Romana. As far back as the 13th century there are records of a church dedicated to Our Lady of the Star, located near the former Hospital of Saints Philip and James, in which the Servants of Mary settled in the mid-13th century, establishing a small parish church with an adjoining convent. Work continued throughout the century on both the church and the convent, which was greatly enlarged between 1486 and 1487. After the ecclesiastical suppressions of the Unification of Italy, the convent became a Civic Hospital.
The plan of the church is typical of monastic orders: single-nave interior with square apse and cross vault. Gothic-style architecture, later filled in, is still visible on the facade. The church today houses the Civic Diocesan Museum, which is part of a museum circuit along a city route that also includes the Oratory of Santa Maria dei Bianchi, Palazzo della Corgna, the Cathedral of Saints Gervasius and Protasius, the Church of San Pietro and the Oratory of San Bartolomeo.

Christian Post | "World Help facilitating aid to help Zimbabwe recover in aftermath of devastating Cyclone Idai"
Download Media Assets
A Virginia-based Christian aid group is facilitating relief to Zimbabwe following a devastating cyclone earlier this week.
Cyclone Idai, which besieged southern Africa last Sunday, tore across Mozambique with over 100 miles per hour winds and struck Zimbabwe with brutal force, causing floods and landslides. The nation has declared a state of emergency.
In an interview with Mark Hogsed, vice president of global programs for World Help, said their ministry partner on the ground has explained to them that the storm hit an area where people were already struggling, compounding the problem. The heavy rains and winds accompanied by floods carried many away in their sleep, while homes also collapsed. Hundreds have lost their lives and many more remain missing, he explained.
"Zimbabwe has constantly struggled with food insecurity even in some of their [better] times, so this is further complicating the food shortages" as the cyclone has wreaked havoc on their crops.
"We're trying to meet their most urgent needs with food and personal care kits," he said.
Sources have informed World Help that the lack of clean water is a major issue as wells and water pipes have been damaged as have roads and sources of power.
World Help's efforts are focused on assisting the Chipinge and Chimanimani in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe, largely rural communities.
Limited communication remains an issue and some areas are still inaccessible and have yet to be reached.
"An estimated 1,000 homes were washed away and damaged. About 15,000 people were affected directly are now homeless," Hogsed said. In cooperation with their ministry partners World Help is aiming to reach 1,000 households, approximately 5,000 people, over the next few months.
But beyond sending physical resources, the humanitarian organization is calling on people to also provide spiritual hope for victims and pray for the disaster-stricken nation.
Hogsed stressed that it's essential Christians not allow the dire situation in Zimbabwe to become "just another news story that is out-of-sight and out-of-mind."
"We have to be diligent in praying for each and every person affected by this disaster. It's also important to understand the challenges in a nation like Zimbabwe in mobilizing aid from one portion of the country to another portion to the country. There are challenges there and it's not easy, it doesn't go quickly, communication can be difficult," he said.
"While this disaster will be out of our news cycle in a couple of days, it's going to take months, even years, for Zimbabwe, for Mozambique and Malawi and those affected areas to recover. Life is not going to get back to normal for them for quite some time."
World Help is asking for donations of $50 — which will provide food, water, hygiene supplies, and infant care kits for those affected, he said.
"People are terrified. They're wondering if their lives will ever be the same. Please stop whatever you're doing and pray on behalf of families impacted by this cyclone," said Vernon Brewer, founder of World Help in a statement to The Christian Post.
"Yes, we must provide help so they may survive this disaster, but we also must send them hope through our prayers so they know they are not forgotten and they still have a future," Brewer said.
World Help was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Forest, Virginia.

Q: memory leak with method NSRegularExpression.matchesInString() I have realized that the method matchesInString has a memory leak.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this really a core method that leaks ?
If it leaks, what is the alternativ using regular expression ? (I know I could code all my self, but I am looking for something reusable)
My code just tries to cut out some specific parameters of a String.
    print ("Memory Leak Test ");
    for var i in 1...1000000 {

        print("Memory Leak Test " + String(i));

        let sMyString:String="opacity:0.71889403;fill:#0000ff;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#0000ff;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1;display:inline\"/></svg>"
        var stringsuche:String = "fill:(.*?);";
        let regex = try! NSRegularExpression(pattern: stringsuche, options: [])
        let results = regex.matchesInString(sMyString, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, sMyString.length))
    }
    print("End  Memory Leak Test ");

UPDAT
I simply wrote my own code for this, but this experience gives me a bad feeling. I guess there are a lot of core methods that are leaking. Just found out that "stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet" & "stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString" also leaks !
func getstylevalue(styleprop:String, text:String) -> String{

    var returnvalue="";

    let stringsuche:String=styleprop;
    let indexstart=text.indexOf(stringsuche);
    if indexstart == -1 {
        return returnvalue;
    }else{
        let indexend=text.indexOf(";", startIndex: indexstart) ;
        if indexend == -1 {
            return returnvalue;
        }else{
            returnvalue=text.substring(indexstart + stringsuche.length, endIndex: indexend);
            return returnvalue;
        }
    }
}

Memory leak with trimming:
print("Start  Memory Leak Test ");
for i in 1...1000000 {
    let theword:String="     bla     ";
    let temp:String = theword.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet())
}
print("End  Memory Leak Test ");

A: Try autoreleasepool {} to workaround the memory cycle (leak) issue.
extension String {

    func regexSearch(pattern pattern: String) -> [String] {
        let nsString: NSString = NSString(UTF8String: self)!
        var stringGroupMatches = [String]()

        do {
            let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern, options: [])
            let nsRangeAll = NSRange(location: 0, length: nsString.length)

            autoreleasepool {
                let matches = regex.matchesInString( nsString as String, options: [], range: nsRangeAll)

                for match: NSTextCheckingResult in matches {
                    let rangeCount = match.numberOfRanges
                    // remember: $0th match is whole pattern
                    for group in 0 ..< rangeCount {
                        let r: NSRange = match.rangeAtIndex(group)
                        stringGroupMatches.append(nsString.substringWithRange(r))
                    }
                }
            }
            return stringGroupMatches
        }
        catch {
            return []
        }
    }

One day when water was being drawn from a pond on the pass between Asamachi and Wakamiya Town in Kurate-gun, a huge seven-tailed ("nanamata") serpent appeared. The serpent later vanished, but as the pond itself had a similar shape it was later named the Nanamata-Tsutsumi. The pond has never dried up since.

10 Things Your RMT Wants You To Know — Taylor Aller | Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Educator, Speaker, Multipotentialite.
AS SEEN ON ELEPHANT JOURNAL.
Is this normal? "My ____ does this. My ______ has that". Outside of orthopaedic concerns, you would be surprised what patients ask their RMTs. "Do other people have hair there? My skin has cellulite there, is that normal?". As regulated health care professionals, we do our best to answer your questions within our scope of practice, and if you are really concerned, go to see your Doctor (we will probably refer you if we are concerned, too). But, more than likely, it's normal.
2. It really doesn't matter that you haven't shaved.
And your exercises, and your hydrotherapy, and your home care, and…You see where I am going here right? Although it would be fun to follow you around, give you treatment and remind you of your therapeutic exercises all day long, we can't. Our time together is very short, minutes a day, a week, a month, or even longer. This homework RMTs are giving you, is designed along your treatment plan to help you resolve your pain and dysfunction. Your health is in your hands the rest of those minutes, days, weeks, and months. If you want to get better, you need to do your homework.
4. Your body is beautiful, too.
RMTs treat hundreds of patients. That means seeing, and touching, their naked bodies. Guess what? They are all different. Out of all of them, not even one looks like what you see, airbrushed in the media. Male or female. A few have come close, but no cigar. It breaks our hearts a little bit when we see those patients insecure about their bodies, because of the pressure of the media. It's not often the media shows the stretch marks, scars, deformities, muscles, moles, dry skin, cellulite, etc. that we so often see on…everyone. Those images aren't what we see on a daily basis. There is only one condition your body should be in, male or female, young or old: Healthy. And that looks a little different for everyone. Your RMT is here as a vessel for health. We are not here to judge. And we want to tell you: Your body is beautiful, just how it is, as long as you are on your journey to health.
5. When you "re-make" the table, I smile inside.
Post treatment, when we come in for reassessment, check ins, clean ups, etc. And we see that all of the linens have been attempted to be but back, tidied, and re-made, it warms our hearts. I mean, it's silly really, they all go off to be sterilized and sanitized. It's completely unnecessary, but it's also really sweet for some funny reason.

This family constitutes the N termini of the paralogous homeobox proteins HoxA9, HoxB9, HoxC9 and HoxD9. The N terminal region is thought to act as a transcription activation region. Activation is may be by interaction with proteins such as Btg proteins, which are thought to recruit a multi-protein Ccr4-like complex.


Remember the popular game Color Switch? It is a game where the player has to pass a specifically colored ball through many obstacles corresponding to the ball's color. So, keeping that in mind, we have tried, played and reviewed a list of many other games similar to Color Switch, which require little energy, and can be played at any time. Well, here is one of the most addictive and fun games like Color Switch you should play - Color Swap.
Color Swap is here to take you on a color switch adventure. This addictive arcade game is launched on the Android platform by AndviGames, a developer team who managed to design a game with beautiful HD and minimalistic graphics, cool music/sounds and a very challenging and reflex-teasing gameplay. Get your fingers ready for some color swap and read on to learn how to play.
The main objective in this awesome game is to navigate the ball upward, through tons of colored obstacles. Simply tap the ball to control it and be careful of the obstacles' colors. Your colored ball can only travel safely through barriers of the same color. The obstacles are presented in different ways, so you will see all kinds of spinning triangles and cubes with different colored sides, multi-colored vertical bands that move, etc. Use a lighter tap to hover the ball while waiting for the correct color, or tap the ball harder to move it forward. Also, you will be able to switch the color of your ball with some power-ups on your way through. Get higher scores, win levels and last as long as possible to become the ultimate color swapper.
Color Swap is an arcade game with a simple, fun gameplay and beautiful graphics, offering hours of playing time, completely for free! Check it out on the following Google Play link.


Residential developers, Weldonhill Ltd, purchased this former car dealership on an unconditional basis, and temporarily utilised the space for their own offices whilst seeking planning permission. Following the grant of consent for the construction of 12 new apartments, Weldonhill relocated their business, and instructed us to manage the sale of the development site. Despite being based at Kings Hill, Chapelwood Homes have completed several high quality developments in the borough of Bexley recently, and therefore appeared the ideal buyers. A sale was agreed and completed quickly, and with work already underway, Chapelwood are hoping the project will prove as successful as their last in Wansunt Road, Bexley.

Lopération Allies Refuge est une opération militaire organisée par les États-Unis en Afghanistan, visant à transporter par avion des civils afghans sélectionnés « à risque », en particulier des traducteurs, des employés de l'ambassade des États-Unis et d'autres demandeurs potentiels de visa d'immigrant spécial (SIV), d'Afghanistan. Le personnel américain a également aidé l'OTAN et ses alliés régionaux dans leurs efforts d'évacuation respectifs à l'aéroport international de Kaboul.

Contexte

À la suite du retrait des troupes américaines d'Afghanistan à partir du début de 2020, les Talibans ont lancé une offensive contre le gouvernement afghan qui a conduit à la prise de Kaboul le .

De très nombreux Afghans ayant travaillé avec les nations occidentales engagées dans ce pays depuis 2001 et les ressortissants de ces derniers tentent de quitter leur pays par crainte des représailles.

Conséquences

Environ 150 avions-cargos de l'USAF sont impliqués.

La flotte aérienne de la réserve civile, Civil Reserve Air Fleet, est activé le 23 août. 18 avions de ligne doivent amener les réfugiés depuis des bases aériennes au Qatar, à Bahreïn et aux Émirats arabes unis vers l'Europe (Allemagne, Espagne, Italie, etc...) puis finalement vers les États-Unis
 a l'aéroport international de Washington-Dulles en Virginie
et l'aéroport international de Philadelphie en Pennsylvanie.

Les attentats de l'aéroport de Kaboul ont endeuillé l'opération avec plus d'un centaine d'Afghans et 13 militaires américains tués.

Le pont aérien se termine le  et a évacué plus de  dont  en 17 jours. Il reste encore plusieurs centaines de citoyens américains dans ce pays.

Le département de la Défense a ouvert des sites d'accueil de réfugiés afghans sur les sept emprises militaires suivantes :
 Fort Bliss, au Texas ;
 Fort McCoy, dans le Wisconsin ;
 Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, dans le New Jersey ;
 Holloman Air Force Base, Nouveau-Mexique ;
 Fort Lee ;
 Marine Corps Base Quantico ;

Q: Creating a lookup based on two values I have an excel that contains a matrix. Here you find a screenshot of the matrix I want to use: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113328996@N07/23026818939/in/dateposted-public/
What I would like to do now is to create some kind of lookup function. So when i have the rows:
Arsenal - Aston Villa
It should look up 114.6.
Of course I could create rows with all distances like:
Arsenal - Aston Villa - 144.6
And perform a lookup function but my instincts tell me this is not the most efficient way.
Any feedback on how I can deal with above most efficiently?

A: This lookup-function is the basic [ operator for data.frames and matrices in R.
Take this example data (from Here)
a <- cbind(c(0.1,0.5,0.25),c(0.2,0.3,0.65),c(0.7,0.2,0.1))
rownames(a) <- c("Lilo","Chops","Henmans")
colnames(a) <- c("Product A","Product B","Product C")

a
        Product A Product B Product C
Lilo         0.10      0.20       0.7
Chops        0.50      0.30       0.2
Henmans      0.25      0.65       0.1

The lookupfunktion is this:
a["Lilo","Product A"] # 0.1
a["Henmans","Product B"] # 0.65

EASTON, Mass. (March 3, 2019) – Northeast Division No. 2-seeded Stonehill College, ranked No. 6 in the latest NCAA Division II East Regional rankings, erased a four-point deficit with 30-seconds to play to force overtime, but was held to just two points in the extra frame as Southwest No. 3 University of New Haven locked down a 58-52 overtime triumph in quarterfinal round action of the 2019 Northeast-10 Conference Tournament on Paula Sullivan Court at Merkert Gymnasium this afternoon.
New Haven (18-11, 10-10 NE10) advances to Thursday's NE10 semifinal round, and will visit the Southwest's top-seed Le Moyne College (22-5, 15-5 NE10) in Syracuse, New York, at 7 p.m. The Dolphins advanced with a 74-63 victory over NE No. 4 Merrimack College (20-10, 12-9 NE10) this afternoon. Stonehill (19-9, 14-7 NE10) must now await a potential at large bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament when the selection show airs next Sunday night.

Senior Alexandria Kerr led three New Haven players in double-figures with a game-high 19 points on 8-of-20 shooting, eight rebounds, four steals and two assists. She scored 13 points after halftime, including four of the Chargers eight points in overtime. Junior Micah Wormack added 12 points, five rebounds and four steals, with her jumper with 45-seconds left in the extra period putting New Haven in front for good. Sophomore Brie Pergola contributed 12 points and four boards, while freshman Camryn DeBose pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds, while chipping in five points, three assists and two steals.
Freshman Kayla Raymond (Easton, Massachusetts/Oliver Ames) led three Stonehill players in double-figures with 12 points, including a three-pointer with 8.5-seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime, adding five rebounds and three blocked shots. Sophomore Jennifer Worden added 11 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals, while junior Grace Carter also netted 11 points, with three boards and two assists. Junior Gabrielle Reuter chipped in with a team-high eight rebounds (five offensive) and two blocked shots.
Worden and Raymond's three-pointers rallied Stonehill from a four-point deficit (48-44) after two New Haven free-throws by Pergola with 30-seconds to play. Worden's triple drew the Skyhawks within a point with 22-seconds to go, and then after Wormack canned two free-throws, Raymond connected with her second of two three-point tries with 8.5-seconds left that knotted the score (50-50) and sent the game to overtime, when a last-second three-point look from Pergola caromed off the rim.
Kerr opened the scoring in overtime with a jumper 38-seconds in, which was answered by a Raymond jumper with 3:46 remaining. The game remained deadlocked until Wormack buried a shot in the paint with 45-seconds to play. After a Stonehill timeout, Carter missed her three-point try to push the Skyhawks in front, but junior Kelsey Shaw came away with the offensive rebound for another chance, but Wormack forced a steal and then Kerr was fouled and made both free-throws to put New Haven up two possessions (56-52) with 30-seconds left. DeBose sealed the UNH win with two more free-throws with 19-seconds to go after another Stonehill miss.
The loss is Stonehill's first this season (16-1) when holding a halftime lead, and just its second over the last 41 games it has led at the intermission dating back to 2017. The Skyhawks scored the first seven points of the game on their way to a ten point cushion halfway through the second quarter. Raymond opened the game with her first three-pointer of the afternoon on its way to a seven-point lead after a Worden layup two and a half minutes into the game.
New Haven drew within one (11-10) after a quarter of play following a Wormack jumper and Kerr layup in the final 29-seconds of the frame. Stonehill buried three-straight three-pointers, including a pair by Carter, to open the largest lead of the afternoon by either side (22-12) midway through the second. The Chargers followed that 9-0 Stonehill spurt with a 14-4 run to pull even (26-26) after a layup from freshman Sydney Richard with a minute to go before the break. Pergola scored eight points during that stretch, including two three-pointers.
Reuter sent Stonehill into halftime with the lead (28-26) and the Skyhawks reclaimed a seven-point advantage (33-26) less than a minute into the third quarter after a Shaw three and Raymond jumper. Kerr gave New Haven its first lead of the game (36-35) halfway through the third quarter and then added a three-pointer to stretch the edge to four (39-35) heading into the fourth. The Skyhawks would struggle through a 12-minute stretch without a field goal before Carter buried a three with 5:43 remaining in the fourth to regain the lead (40-39).
However, DeBose answered that with a triple of her own to push New Haven back in front and the Chargers grabbed its first of three four-point leads in the final 90-seconds of regulation on a layup by Kerr (44-40) with 1:27 on the clock.

Q: how to use addPreferencesFromResource for android 2.X? Followed several howto but I can't understand,
how to use  addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences) because is deprecated.
The best way is to use the fragment but fragments are available only later 3.0, I need to do for android version 2.x
Which way I'll follow?

A: In Android, "deprecated" means "we have another solution that we think that you should consider". Particularly, for situations like this, you have no choice but to use addPreferencesFromResource() on Android 2.x, as onBuildHeaders() (the approach used in API Level 11+) does not exist.
You can create code that supports both:
public class EditPreferences extends SherlockPreferenceActivity {
  @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences2);
    }
  }

  @Override
  public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target) {
    loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.preference_headers, target);
  }
}

Here, we use onBuildHeaders() for API Level 11+ and addPreferencesFromResource() on API Level 10 and below. Here is the complete sample project from which this code was pulled.

The annual application period for the Assistance To Firefighters Grant is now open. This runs from August 15, 2011 until September 9, 2011. FEMA has released their "Top 5 Tips" for this grant. See below to read their advice. Have any of you won a grant in previous years and have advice for others? Comment below and let us know. Good luck and Happy "granting".
This year, FEMA has designated High, Medium, and Low funding priorities for every eligible activity and/or item. This makes make it easier for applicants to understand the programs FEMA is able to support. Use the priority system to increase your chances of winning an award. The more consistent your funding request is with the highest priority items, as described in the FY11 AFG Program Guidance, the greater your chances of winning an award.
The AFG Program is designed to help applicants meet state and national standards, such as those provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Requesting any item that does not result in state or national certification, or comply with recognized standards, may lower your application's evaluation score. For more information on and for access to these standards related to this year's funding priorities, visit www.nfpa.org/nfpaafg2011.
The AFG Program is designed to meet firefighter essential needs, and to help your department meet national standards. Applicants should request only what they must have and only what they can justify. Requesting an excessively expensive brush truck, for example, or asking for what appears to be a "wish list" item is not in your best interest and will result in a lower application score. Applicants make a critical mistake by requesting equipment with excessive or unreasonable costs.
A surprisingly large number of applications contain poorly written narratives that do not adequately define the risks in the community, the proposed solution, the financial situation of the organization, or the cost-benefit of the project. Additionally, applicants should avoid borrowing language from vendors and manufacturers. Such boilerplate language tends to be general in nature and does not describe the local need.
The Narrative must contain a clear picture of your department and its finances, your community and its need(s), as well as the project and its cost-benefit. It should be detailed and concise. Allow enough time to write a complete narrative. This is your opportunity to convince a panel of your peers that your request should be funded—take advantage of it!
Learn more about AFG and start your application online at www.fema.gov/firegrants.
As of August 2010, prime recipients of Federal grants are required to register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system. As a potential grantee you are not required to register, but you may wish to do so now in case you receive an award. CCR registration will be required if you are selected for an award.
Obtain a DUNS number from Dun and Bradstreet: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. If you already have a DUNS number, skip to #2.
Once you have a DUNS number, register here: https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx.
TEAM UP AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT AFG!
Did you know that multiple organizations serving more than one local jurisdiction can team up and submit an AFG application that will benefit the entire region? It's true—AFG supports a variety of regional projects, including providing training programs and purchasing communications and personal protective equipment. So, spread the word about AFG to your colleagues and through your professional networks! A regional project may be the right route for you.

Anti-Imperialism in the South: Hands Off DPRK
Posted by theforgenews
By Devin
It is no secret that the United States seeks to topple the socialist country known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK, and establish a U.S.-backed bourgeois democracy similar to the one in the ROK or Republic of Korea.
The United States has led a long smear campaign against the DPRK; stories of public executions of pop singers (Hyon Song-wol, which was proved to be not true, as she appeared in media a year after her supposed execution), and any propaganda that western media can promote. One of the more notable campaigns perpetuated by western media is the famine that occurred in the DPRK at the command of former DPRK leader and revolutionary, Kim Jong-il.
While it is true that a famine occurred in the DPRK, it is not because of an intentional decision made by Kim Jong-il, but rather that DPRK was still (is still) recovering from the numerous bombings of their land by the United States during the Korean War. Some 80% of their land was destroyed after 635,000 tons of bombs were dropped by the United States, effectively destroying the north Korean people's agricultural and industrial resources; it is no wonder that there was a famine due to this. Once again, the United States plays the role of imperialist aggressor.
In the recent years, particularly in the recent months, there is another boiling point quickly being reached with Trump threatening DPRK with war which, combined with more sanctions placed on them under Obama's administration, is causing higher tensions from DPRK's government, and rightfully so. The United States has been itching to overthrow the socialist Korea for decades now, as is the case with other socialist countries that have fallen, and now the threat of nuclear war is being discussed more and more.
So where should leftists, especially communists, be on this issue? It is simple: we must support the Democratic People's Republic of Korea against the threats and, if it progresses to that, which we hope it will not, attacks by the imperialist United States. Many liberals and moderates all say the same things: "North Korea has an atrocious human rights record!" (all perpetuated by western media) and the "neutral stance" is that neither nation should have nuclear weapons. While this is a true statement, it is not a solid position that we should rest on and operate from. We must remember that DPRK is not the aggressor here, the United States is.
Anything that DPRK has said about their nuclear weapons has been from a place of self-defense, while everything that the United States has said about our nuclear weapons has been from a place of offense, of threats to attack.
So while it is true that neither nation (and on an international level, no nation) should have nuclear weapons, while the United States possesses nuclear weapons and threatens war with them, DPRK has every right to also have nuclear weapons to claim self-defense with. It is that simple.
