Cosmic Climb Differentiated Math Game is challenging, physical and always FUN! Kids will play this game for hours… literally.
Cosmic Climb Differentiated Math Game was created to encourage kids to use their problem-solving skills while having FUN at the same time.
Organize two teams. One player from each team rolls a die…both dice land…10 and 2 are shown! Both players eagerly wait for the leader to call the operation. Will it be subtraction? addition? multiplication? or division?
They quickly make calculations in their head to prepare.
Both calculate the product (sometimes with the help of their teammates), and run to the end of the mat and return to sit on their answer, 20.
Organize two teams. The team who rolled the highest number on one die goes first. The object is to have the most points by the end of the game. The Cosmic game mat goes up to 36. There can be a time limit, an agreed number of rounds or until all the spaceships/markers are placed to end the game.
Each team takes turns by rolling three dice. They then add, multiply, subtract, and divide the 3 numbers they roll to obtain the largest number possible (up to 36). Working together, using their mental math skills, each team agrees on the highest number available and places their marker on the game board. In the end, the team with the highest score wins by adding all the numbers covered with their spaceships/markers.
Organize two teams. The team who rolled the highest number on one die rolls first. You can use two or three dice for this game depending on their age. Kids can make the same calculations as "Reach for the Stars". The object of the game is to score the most points.
They score points by placing their spaceships on both the green and purple numbers. Doing so will earn them 10 points. Until a team has markers on both numbers, the opposing team can take the other coloured number thereby blasting the other team's spaceship off that number. Kids love blasting their opponents' ship off the board! For younger kids, use just the face value of the dice.
Included: High-resolution graphics for spaceships. Print, cut and laminate. Glue on thin foam sheets for extra durability.
Option: Use your own markers!
Durable, light-weight, waterproof, tear-resistant, washable, indoor/outdoor material (no sharp objects or rocks underneath). Non-toxic. Does not contain chlorine or halogens.
Roll up and store dry.

Q: Send Ctrl or Alt + key in AutoHotkey to multiple windows (dualbox) I have an AutoHotkey script that can send same keystrokes to multiple windows and it works well.
But I need to also send Ctrl or Alt + Key.
To simplify, I need this: when I push "2", I need to send to both windows "Alt+2"
now my script is like this:
~2::
KeyWait 2
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
{
  ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid1%
  ControlSend,, 2, ahk_id %wowid2%
  Return
}

I tried with
  ControlSend,, {Alt}2, ahk_id %wowid2%

and with
  ControlSend,, {Ctrl}2, ahk_id %wowid2%

but it doesn't work
then I tried this:
ControlSend,, !2, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, !2, ahk_id %wowid2%

and
ControlSend,, ^2, ahk_id %wowid1%
ControlSend,, ^2, ahk_id %wowid2%

and it sends "Alt + 2" or "Ctrl + 2" but only to the current window.
The other windows do not get the keystroke

Risks And Red Lines As UK Prepares To Reforge Surveillance Law
Natasha Lomas	@riptari / 5 years
On Thursday a half-day conference taking place in London's Kings College heard a range of views about the U.K.'s draft Investigatory Powers Bill, currently before parliament. The government's intention with the IP Bill is to pass legislation that cements and extends the surveillance capabilities of domestic intelligence and law enforcement agencies to keep pace with tech developments in the 15 years or so since existing legislation was formulated.
Speakers at the event described it as a historic opportunity for the U.K. to lead the world in creating a transparent legal framework for the operation of secret state surveillance powers. However others noted the same opportunity means there is a parallel risk of badly cast legislation enshrining surveillance overreach and encouraging other countries down a similarly problematic path. The stakes, all agreed, could not be higher.
The timetable for examining what is a complex, technical and lengthy (running to some 300-pages) piece of legislation is relatively short, given the government wants to whole process to be done and dusted — with an act in place — by the end of the year when a sunset clause means existing emergency surveillance legislation, DRIPA, will expire.
The government has already been accused of trying to undermine the work of the joint select committee, currently examining the IP bill, by not giving it enough time to do a proper job. So there is also a very real risk of inadequate scrutiny of complex proposals with opaque implications resulting in major collateral damage to citizens' privacy and security. And potentially also to the competitiveness of U.K.-based Internet companies, if businesses end up losing the trust of users because of ill-thought-through legal requirements foisted on them by politicians.
One plainly worded intervention came from Apple last month, with the company warning in a statement submitted to the bill committee that: "The bill threatens to hurt law-abiding citizens in its effort to combat the few bad actors who have a variety of ways to carry out their attacks. The creation of backdoors and intercept capabilities would weaken the protections built into Apple products and endanger all our customers. A key left under the doormat would not just be there for the good guys. The bad guys would find it too."
Another Snooper's Charter?
The IP bill was introduced to the U.K. parliament by Home Secretary Theresa May in November. As well as the joint select committee, due to report in mid-February, a bill committee will also examine it, line by line. And it will be put through Parliament and House of Lords scrutiny in the coming months, allowing for MPs and Peers to debate its measures and propose and vote on amendments — before any vote on a final bill, incorporating any agreed amendments, can take place.
Assuming, of course, the legislation is not derailed by majority opposition during the scrutiny process. The Conservative government's prior attempt to legislate in this area — the 2012 Communications Data Bill (CDB) — had to be withdrawn when the government's then coalition partner, the Liberal Democracts, refused to support it, dubbing it a 'Snooper's Charter'.
The new IP Bill has also been branded a Snooper's Charter by critics, not least because it includes an expansion of surveillance powers — such as a requirement that ISPs log and store details of the websites users have visited for a full 12 months. It also sanctions bulk equipment interference — aka the mass hacking of devices — as an investigatory tool. And has some worrying wording around encryption, hence Apple's concerns.
More broadly, the bill seeks to give explicit legal blessing to mass surveillance, at a point when the U.S. has been making moves in the opposite direction, reviewing and rolling back so-called 'bulk collection' initiatives, via the likes of the USA Freedom Act. At the same time, UN and European rights bodies, including the European Court of Justice, have censured mass surveillance on human rights grounds — calling it a threat to democracy.
In the U.K., it's been the opposite story since the the 2013 Snowden revelations, with continued government attempts to shore up, rather than roll back, mass surveillance — culminating in the current bid to enshrine the practice at the core of the surveillance state by giving it a legal footing, balanced — argue supporters — by robust oversight safeguards. Safeguards that critics of the bill counter are not nearly robust enough.
Security is one core critical theme, with concerns, for instance, about the vast honeypot of user data the bill proposes to create, via provisions such as the aforementioned 'Internet Connection Records', risking becoming an inevitable target for hackers or blackmailers. And concerns about government agencies working to intentionally exploit and enlarge vulnerabilities in software and systems. So the U.K. government stands accused of, on the one hand, claiming it's increasing investment in cyber security, while at the same time trying to hand a mandate to another set of government-funded actors to undermine digital security at will.
The opposition view
The Conservatives are a majority government so don't need a junior political partner to sign up to their legislative plans to get bills through Parliament, meaning the IP bill looks likely to face less opposition than the failed CDB. And it's not at all clear that the official opposition Labour party has any philosophical objections to increasing the capabilities of the surveillance state. Or to the practice of mass surveillance, specifically.
Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham welcomed the bill when it was introduced in November, couching it as neither a Snooper's Charter nor mass surveillance — although he subsequently wrote to the Home Secretary saying the party wanted to see stronger safeguards put in place in the legislation, especially around the issue of judicial sign off for authorizing interception warrants.
Speaking at the Foundation for Information Policy Research's Scrambling for Safety 2016 event on Thursday, Labour MP Keir Starmer, who noted he would be the party's lead on the IP bill, said it's clear new legislation is needed to govern surveillance powers, given that the outdated and often obscure patchwork of existing legislation currently used to authorize surveillance activity is long past its sell by date.
Just as powers are extended so must safeguards be.
He also said he supports expanding state surveillance capabilities — but also with a caveat on safeguards. "There is a requirement for extended powers," said Starmer. "But just as powers are extended so must safeguards be — and this must be the absolute governing principle, I think — from the Labour party point of view, from any point of view… The safeguards have to be more robust, more transparent than they were before."
He went on to argue that the so-called 'double lock' sign off mechanism for intercept warrants proposed in the bill, which would mean the Home Secretary retains the power to sign off intercept warrants but a judge must also sign off the same warrant (although there is also a provision allowing warrants to be signed off by the minister in 'emergencies' and retroactively looked at by a judge), would only be appropriate if judges "play a real part", rather than what he described as the "long arm judicial review" currently proposed.
"I do think that if judges are to play a part they've got to play a real part," he said. "And therefore an exercise which is in truth a rubberstamp is not worth having. Close up scrutiny — looking at the material kind of our use of these intrusive powers — is a different proposition."
Data protection and data retention provisions in the bill will also require greater scrutiny, Starmer added.
But the former director of public prosecutions also took time to flag up what he couched as the "vital" role played by communications data when it comes to investigating and prosecuting "serious and difficult cases" — giving the example of the thwarted 2006 plot to simultaneously bring down multiple airplanes mid way over the Atlantic.
"There was a very elaborate plot… that was uncovered in real time in a number of places, including in North London. And there was a real scramble to get the data available very quickly because once it became clear there was a plot it was very important to move from that stage to stopping any part of that plot being implemented," he said.
"In very many cases we would not have been able to prosecute without the sort of data that was made available because of the existing [surveillance] regime," he added, thereby giving tacit support to so-called 'bulk collection'.
Call for a more targeted approach
Speaking during another panel, Shami Chakrabarti, director of U.K. civil rights advocacy organization Liberty, argued that the current application of surveillance capabilities in the U.K. has in fact yet to be justified — arguing that far more debate needs to take place about targeting.
"Just because things were happening outside the law and it is now proposed to put them inside the law doesn't mean that we've got the balance right," she said, adding that targeted surveillance has been the "traditional approach" in open, democratic societies, rather than the mass surveillance measures set to be enshrined in law if the bill passes in its current form.
It's notable that the IPT, the oversight court for the U.K.'s intelligence agencies, last year ruled against GCHQ for the time in its fifteen year history (and did so on more than one occasion), deciding, in one ruling, that the agency had acted unlawfully in its data sharing activities with the NSA. Yet despite such rulings, the U.K. political establishment appears almost entirely comfortable with — and ready to legislate for — mass surveillance.
"I completely applaud and support the idea we must now come out of the shadows when setting the legal framework that will then be applied, of course, often in the shadows but we still must have a debate," argued Chakrabarti. "Just because things were happening without public knowledge or parliamentary insight, let alone judicial sign off, doesn't mean that the balance is yet correct — that we have proportionality [when it comes to state use of mass surveillance]."
She went on to argue that "proportionality principles", as applied under the European Convention of Human Rights, have generally required "a more targeted approach to surveillance than you see in many parts of this bill".
"That is a real challenge," she added, emphasizing it's her view that "an operational case for using mass surveillance has still yet to be proven".
The risks of overreach
Various specific concerns about the proposed legislation were also aired on Thursday with speakers from a range of NGOs, and legal and industry bodies, as well as politicians, discussing the draft bill in three themed panel sessions, with questions taken from the audience.
Panelists were, for instance, asked how police or intelligence agencies would be able to assess the risks of hacking a particular piece of equipment — sanctioned by the IP bill under its 'equipment interference' and 'bulk equipment interference' (aka: mass hacking) provisions — given the complex interplay of digital devices and services already evident in a nascent but growing Internet of Things.
Might there not be huge potential risks, even potentially risks to life, of interfering with digital services, asked one audience member — and how could an untargeted process such as mass hacking avoid generating unknown 'collateral damage', let alone be judged 'proportionate' by those authorizing such activity?
[If] you don't know who is actually going to be subject to this type of interference, then how can you possibly judge proportionality?
"On the question of how do you assess the risks of interfering with a technology, if you're going to do at all it needs to be extremely targeted," argued Caroline Wilson Palow, of civil rights advocacy organisation Privacy International. "Otherwise you can't judge proportionality — you don't know what device you're targeting, you don't know who is actually going to be subject to this type of interference, then how can you possibly judge proportionality?"
"This problem we have with the powers across the bill, not only with equipment interference," she added.
Another speaker at the event, Malcolm Hutty of Internet infrastructure membership organization Linx, also raised concerns about the risks of state actors causing unknown damage via legalized hacking activity.
"If you were to hack into a DSLAM or something like that, you might think that that's only supplying broadband service for a relatively small area — it can't be that significant can it? But in fact how do you know whether that it providing, amongst other things, the back up line for some safety critical service, maybe a water purification system or a monitoring system for somebody's health.
"The idea that an intelligence officer can assess what the likely impact would be if that vulnerability that they exploit and maybe exacerbate — that they could assess the impact of that without knowing… not only what that system is and how it works but how it was used seems to me to be deeply problematic."
The consequences of a mis-assessment… range from the minor to the wholly catastrophic.
"The consequences of a mis-assessment of that range from the minor to the wholly catastrophic," he added. "It's our view that this particular part of the bill needs to be made much tighter, not in the interests of the balance between privacy and security, but to avoid doing significant harm to the security of the U.K."
Anthony Walker of trade association TechUK, warned of the potential economic impact of companies losing the trust of users as a result of being subject to explicitly broad state surveillance powers.
"This question around equipment interference has some real direct relevance in terms of the extent to which companies are subjected to these kind of broad powers can potentially sell their services around the world. And that can be trusted by their customers around the world. I think that's a really significant commercial and economic impact that we need to bear in mind," he said.
He also argued that many aspects of the bill, including specifically the language around encryption, is too vague — and is therefore open "to interpretation". (A point also made to the joint select committee last month.)
"There is definitely more work to be done to improve the transparency of the bill. What are these powers? What do they actually mean? And in many ways I think companies are struggling to really understand and fully understand the implications of the bill because there are too many aspects of the bill that they just simply don't know what it means," he said.
Walker also warned of the risks of the U.K. being out of step with other countries' approach to surveillance legislation, arguing that being an outlier might well be counterproductive by jeopardizing the international co-operations needed for data to flow across borders.
"The more that we insert extraterritorial powers into the bill the more that we go against some of the norms that are emerging elsewhere, the harder that international co-operation becomes. So the extraterritorial issue is, I think, very important because it potentially undermines the security objectives we're all trying to achieve," he said.
"Technology is global, the threats that we face today are global, the axis are global, companies are global. If the security services are going to be able to access the information they need at the time that they need it that depends upon international co-operation between agencies, between companies," he added.

Google Philippines ushered its fifth anniversary with a stronger commitment to contribute to the country's digital, economic, and cultural growth.
Google Philippines ushered its fifth anniversary with a stronger commitment to contribute to the country's digital, economic, and cultural growth.
Ken Lingan, Google Philippines Country Manager, announced that Google will put its efforts towards growing the country's digital economy, culture, and the internet.
"Every Filipino needs to be fully equipped in their role as drivers of our country's growth. As we celebrate our fifth anniversary, we look at the collaborations we can make with different sectors, institutions, and all Filipinos so we can maximize the internet to help us build an even greater Philippines," according to him.
Google Philippines is increasing its efforts to help, micro, small, and medium (MSMEs) enterprises boost their visibility and thrive online. This is in recognition of the MSMEs part in the projected growth of e-commerce in the Philippines.
Thus, Google aims to work closely with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to share relevant information on existing MSMEs for posting on Google My Business.
Google My Business, a free online tool, is key for customers easily finding the Filipino businesses and services they are looking for. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, can use Google My Business to share relevant information such as location, business hours, and contact details. Considering the importance of government services, Google My Business also has pertinent information on government offices such as phone numbers, addresses, business hours, and details on services.
A nationwide campaign that celebrates Philippine tourism and culture will make its debut this year.
Vital to the campaign is the Local Guides, an online tool that allows Filipinos to share knowledge and grow content highlighting the Philippine' best. The tool encourages Google Maps users to share reviews of dining destinations, tourist attractions, hotels, shops, and other places they've been to.
An incentive for everyone to contributing to Local Guides is that a Local Guide Summit which involves local communities and recognizes top contributors will be held later this year.
Google further celebrates Philippine heritage through Google Doodles. It is the occasional changes on the search homepage in lieu of birthday celebrations and/or notable national historic events. A combination of seven Filipino events, festivals, and notable individuals are already lined up to be featured on Google Doodles.
Google continues to prioritize helping Filipinos make the most out of the internet. Following the launch of app-saving data Datally and storage manager Files Go in 2017, Google has Youtube Go on beta in the Philippines.
This app lets users manage data when watching videos or enables them to save videos for offline viewing.
To create a better internet environment, Google is working with Youtube creators and other social influencers to encourage responsible and productive interactions online. This effort is called #LovePhilippines.
It takes off from a social media campaign that Google launched in 2016 to highlight unique things about the Philippines, from food, places, culture, and other fun facts. This time, however, Google is making #LovePhilippinnes bigger to spread the love for a safer internet for Filipinos.
"Through the initiatives, we outlined this year, Google is committed to giving Filipinos a better experience on the internet. With new tools and opportunities in store, we are optimistic that we will fuel breakthroughs that will lead to the country's success," Ken said.

Norton Simon exhibition Taking Shape: Degas as Sculptor tells a story of just one statue, Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen. Degas only showed one sculpture his whole life. This little piece became a huge controversy by using real materials: wig hair and silk for the point shoes. Degas had made countless other sculptures but only showed them to his friends. They never made it to the public eye until his death-one hundred years ago this year. Degas made over one hundred and fifty models and seventy four were well preserved.
This exhibition focuses on the practice of this artist with a collection of modéles (the original works of art that were cast from the original plaster and wax statuettes). These are the one-of-a-kind dating before his numbered bronzes. These pieces show the touch of the artist with impressions of pliable wax or plaster over the wire armatures. These original works of art were called "trials" (experiments).
Olson Visual installed a large graphic of the exhibition on the exterior of the building.

Before I can understand where differentially methylated loci (DML) are located within the C. virginica genome, I first need to identify DMLs! I used this R script to identify DMLs that were at least 50% different between control and treatment (high pCO2) samples (.csv here). Looking at the PCA was interesting, as the clustering was not as tight as I expected.
Figure 1. Principal Components Analysis of methylated regions in samples.
O2-5 (ambient conditions) are more closely clustered than any of the oysters from treatment conditions. It's possible that there are organismal differences in methylation responses, or that we just didn't have a large enough sample size to deal with this variation.
In the last part of the script, I saved my DML information as a BED file. I mimicked Steven's code to do this. BED files have chromosome ID, start, and stop positions that I can use to pare down information about my DMLs. I can then compare the DML location with other important genomic features using bedtools. The intersect tool seems especially useful. I know we covered bedtools in the 2016 Bioinformatics class, so I'll review those notes!
Because only three crabs exposed to the warm temperature treatmeent survived the experiment, we decided during out meeting on Tuesday (2018-05-22) that I would isolate RNA from warm treatment crabs (infected and uninfected) that made it to the temperature treatment stage (day 12). So today I started that process and isolated RNA from 8 samples (4 crabs, all negative for Hematodinium based on Pam's qPCR results).
Tomorrow I will isolate RNA from two more crabs that are warm temperature treatment and uninfected (6 total uninfected) and 6 crabs that are warm treatment infected (using qPCR data from Pam).
Working on figuring out a way to use R to organize the data into a master file such that each row is an individual crab (as designated by the unique FRP ID number), with columns for each piece of important data we have associated with that crab (hemolymph tube numbers from the sample dates, RNA isoaltion and Qubit data, morphology data, qPCR results). I am enjoying the puzzle-solving-like aspect of this process, but it can be overwhelming sometimes becuase it is a lot of data that is in many different sheets and workbooks. Our master file will include ALL crabs, including those that died after the second sampling date.


One of the few "bad" experiences I have with Gentoo is with compiling webengines. They are all monstruous beasts that take over my laptop for a few hours. I am forced to compile webkit-gtk because of gnucash and qtwebengine because of GoldenCheetah. My webbrowser of choice has been Firefox which uses yet another webengine. I've tried for a while to replace Firefox with another web-browser because of this. A webkit-gtk-browser is a no-go cause this will require webkit2 (which is different than the engine I am forced to have because of gnucash).
Now that I have qtwebengine in my system, I might as well use it to power my browser. I have found qupzilla, is there any other browser out there based on qtwebengine?
Yesterday I came across qutebrowser which is in portage.
If you are in the unstable tree you can try Otter, (aka otter-browser).
But did you tried Qupzilla, because you ask for another one and I am currious why that is. Since I am also looking for a qtwebengine based browser and Qupzilla lookes okay to me at first glance and it is in the stable tree.
both qutebrowser and otter were based on qtwebkit, I didn't know that they had been already ported to qtwebengine. It seems otter has a backend ready, it's not clear to me how experimental is qutebrowser, I'll try them, thanks for the feedback.
It seems to me that qupzilla is the most straightforward qtwebengine browser at this point.

Абу'л Валід Мухаммад ібн Джохар ар-Рашид (; бл. 1020 — 28 липня 1070) — 2-й шейх Кордовської тайфи в 1043—1063 роках. Почесне ім'я ар-Рашид перекладається як «Той, хто веде правильним шляхом».

Життєпис
Походив з династії Бану-Джохар. Син Абу'л-Хазм Джохара, шейха Кордовської тайфи. Народився близько 1020 року в Кордові. 1043 року після смерті батька успадкував владу, але затверджений радою знаті і улемів.

З самого початку мусив придушити спробу Омеядів повернути собі владу в Кордові. Потім він розкрив брехню Аббада II, еміра, що намагався захопити Кордоби видаючи простолюдина за Гішама II.

У внутрішніх справах продовжив політику попередників, спрямовану на обмеження втручання шурти (на кшталт поліції) у справи цивільних осіб, скасував конфіскацію майна, що була здійснена до 1031 року. Разом з тим значного впливу набув візир Ібн аль-Рака.

У зовнішній політиці також намагався тримати лінію батька, залишаючись посередниками між емірами тайф. 1051 року зумів замирити правителів Бадахосу, Кармони і Севільї. Водночас надав притулок правителям й їх родинам з тайф Ньєбла, Уельва, Альхесірас.

З 1058 року став долучати сина Абд аль-Маліка до державних справ. 1063 року зрікся влади на користь синів Абд ар-Рахмана і Абд аль-Маліка. Першому передав цивільне управління та скарбницю, другому — військо. Невдовзі між синами почалася війна, в якій переміг Абд аль-Малік.

1070 року Кордобу було захоплено севільським еміром аль-Мутамідом, який заслав Абу'л Валіда Мухаммада до Шалтіша (південний захід Піренеїв), де той невдовзі помер.

Haley goes rogue on President Trump
Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and one of the highest-ranking women in the Trump administration, became the latest of the president's men (and women) to veer off script and speak, well, candidly. Haley told an interviewer on CBS' "Face the Nation" broadcast Sunday that the women who had accused President Trump of sexual misconduct "should be heard, and they should be dealt with." Then after acknowledging that Trump's accusers had been heard from before the election, she added, "I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up."
Granted, Haley did not say she believed the women. But she didn't try to discredit them. That's in stark contrast to the president and his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who've said the women lied, the issue had been addressed during the campaign and dismissed by voters, and that was that.
Haley now takes her place next to the handful of other prominent administration officials who have dared to break ranks with the president — or whose private criticisms have gone public. From all appearances, these bursts of candor have not been well received.
For instance, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who reportedly called Trump a "moron" when speaking privately with several officials, has been marginalized and undermined repeatedly by Trump on his two biggest diplomatic challenges, North Korea and Iran. And Gary Cohn, the White House's top economist, saw his chances of leading the Federal Reserve evaporate after he called on the administration to more clearly condemn hate groups after Trump repeatedly refused to hold the organizers of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., responsible for the violence that left one person dead.
The more people there are surrounding Trump who can pull him back when he goes off the rails, the better for all of us. That's a function of not just his appointees' willingness to take a moral stand, but also Trump's evidently limited ability to put up with it. After Tillerson's last falling out with Trump, one of the rumors circulating in Washington was that the secretary of State would be fired and Haley would replace him. Her interview on "Face the Nation" no doubt changes that calculus.
Kudos to Haley for speaking up on the issue of sexual misconduct in general and treating it with the seriousness it deserves. In Haley's case, it's either courage or calculation; the former governor of South Carolina may believe that showing independence from Trump is good for her future political prospects. Either way, her remarks are a significant acknowledgment from within the administration that even the president's conduct — albeit his conduct before he ran for office — is fair game for scrutiny.
On Monday, a day after Haley said women have every right to speak up, that's just what a group of women who have accused Trump of varying degrees of sexual misconduct was doing at a news conference in New York. They are demanding an investigation by Congress; unfortunately, Republican leaders there have been largely unwilling to call Trump to account for anything.
Their allegations that Trump kissed and groped them in ways that they neither invited nor wanted had all been aired during last year's campaign. More than a dozen women all told stepped forward with accusations when Trump was running for president. He denied them all, and yes, he won the election.
Yet those accusations were lodged in a very different climate from what we are experiencing now. The harsh public reckoning that the revelations about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein unleashed, which spread swiftly through Hollywood and the media industry, is now filtering into politics and forcing the resignations of a growing number of elected officials. Trump's accusers and his denials haven't been tested in this new era of justifiable outrage at sexual harassment and zero tolerance.
In recent weeks, Trump has publicly and aggressively supported Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, an accused sexual predator — he has downplayed the allegations against Moore, even when other supporters have not and his own daughter Ivanka has said she has "no reason to doubt the victims' accounts." Trump insists that he respects and loves women. But with his dismissive attitude toward those who allege sexual harassment, he fails to live up to these claims.

"Carte Generale des Treize Etats Unis, de l'Amerique Septentrionale / Kaart van de Dertien Verenigde Staaten in Noord Amerika", Covens & Mortier
Subject: Eastern United States
Publication: Niewe Atlas
A very uncommon and handsome map depicting the recently formed United States. The title cartouche refers to the thirteen United States in both French and Dutch and is decorated by an American flag with thirteen stars; thus this is one of the earliest maps displaying the stars and strips. The area mapped is from James Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic coast to central Texas. There is a fascinating road running from Port Royal along the coast to Fort George, near Penobscot Bay. Roads are not generally shown on a map of this scale at this time, making that quite unusual. Many towns, rivers and other landmarks are located, as well as Native American tribes and state boundaries, which extend to the Mississippi River. It has been speculated that Reiner & Joshua Ottens originally made the plate for this map in 1755 under the title "Carte des possessions Angloises & Francoises du continent de l'Amerique Septentrionale". It was then acquired by Covens & Mortier and reworked to show the newly formed states and may have appeared as early as 1783.

According to 2012-2013 China eCommerce Report released by iResearch, China eCommerce market kept high growth and its GMV hit 8.1 trillion Yuan in 2012. In China eCommerce market segments, online shopping experienced the highest growth of 66.1%. Small and medium-sized enterprises' business to business (B2B) market decreased slightly by 26.5%. Online travel booking market increased by 30% and its penetration rose to 6.6%.
According to 12th Five-Year Plan on eCommerce released by Ministry of industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China in March 2012, China will actively develop eCommerce in the agriculture industry to advance the agriculture capital & products circulation system and to find new ways to make peasants rich. Furthermore, the government will strengthen supervision and guidance of eCommerce market.
In December 2012, National Development and Reform Commission clearly claimed that on New Years' Day of 2013 and in Spring Festival, the competent department of price should pay close attention to the sales promotion behavior of large business operators, investigate and punish the businessmen's illegal behaviors, for example, price of products in promotions is higher than their original price. And they abide by their price commitments and hide the price clause.
On December 20 2012, the first eCommerce regulation center was established in Beijing.
In 2012, investors were conservative in China eCommerce market, but they took real interest in the market. The total investments and financing in eCommerce market reached 6.5 billion Yuan.
Thirdly, eCommerce Operators Accelerated Revolution.
In business to customer market, on the one hand, eCommerce operators accelerate the open of the platforms. On the other hand, they expand categories of products for obtain new market such as fresh food eCommerce market. In SMEs' B2B market, eCommerce operators made innovation in profit-making model. Their revenue sources changed to be transaction commission from membership fee.
In 2012, penetration of online shopping in shoppers grew to 45.5% from 40.5% of 2011.
In 2012, GMV of online shopping market in USA reached 14.09 trillion and in China, it amounted to 13.03 trillion. iResearch estimated that online shopping GMV in China would surpass that of America in 2013.Generally speaking, China online shopping started later but developed faster compared with that of America. In 2003, online shopping GMV accounted for 1.8% of the total retail sales of consumer goods in USA while it was less 0.1% in China. However, after ten years of development, penetration of online shopping GMV in the total retail sales of consumer goods in China increased to 6.2%, completely exceeding USA.
But penetration of online shoppers in PC Internet users in China lags far behind USA. In 2012, it was 45.5% in China and 71.6% in USA. China online shoppers concentrate in the first and second tier cities, and there is huge potential to explore in the third and fourth tier cities of China.
Furthermore, compared with China, online shopping is more mature in logistics, especially has advantage in logistics infrastructure, reach area, and service management of logistics enterprises. Meanwhile, limited by existing express way and railway network, China has a long way to go in logistics infrastructure construction. iResearch views that logistics and payment are very important links in the online shopping chain. It's very necessary to strengthen storage logistics building when online shopping market is expanding to small cities and towns in China.
Firstly, eCommerce market will embrace more innovations and profit-making models.
B2C eCommerce operators focus on expanding the categories of products and boost the open of the platforms. In 2012, JD.com, suning.com and dandang.com opened the platform and attracted merchants to prepare for eCommerce with products of full categories. In 2013, Vancl and Suning also made moves in open platform.
In B2B market, Alibaba and DHgate firstly started pay-for-performance model. At the same time, HC360 and Mysteel also made more efforts on online transaction. In the future, SME business to business operators will gradually involve them into the transaction between merchants and buyers as well as provide financial guarantee service. Finally, B2B eCommerce cycle could be completed.
Secondly, mobile shopping will keep hot. According to iResearch, China mobile shopping GMV reached 63.17 billion in 2012, accounting for 4.8% of the online shopping GMV. Seen from quarterly data on mobile shopping in 2013, China mobile shopping maintain high growth. It increased to 64.18 billion in the first half of 2013, sharing 8.1% of online shopping market. At present, mobile shopping is at the early stage of development. With the popularity of mobile internet and growth of internet speed, penetration of mobile shopping will further rise in the future.
Thirdly, online to offline becomes the newest buzzword and eCommerce enterprises make strategy to seize favorable opportunity. Under the influence of eCommerce, traditional enterprises are changing their original attitude and seek for innovation. At the moment, online to offline is a better way for them to achieve goal. iResearch holds that two models of online to offline business are extending online shopper to offline shop and mixing price, supply chain and storage logistics together in online and offline sales. Either of models can integrate online advantage with offline resources, providing new choice for traditional enterprises and eCommerce operators. Suning and Yintai, representatives of traditional enterprises have tried online and offline.

Q: get the contacts are sorted by popularity I have a application and I want to show the contacts are sorted by popularity, for example the number of times that call to that contact. Another option: Sort by anyone with a picture. I want it done automatically without the user's choice! I would appreciate any help! Even on a partial answer!
Thank you!

A: use this query
   ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
  Cursor cur2 = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
          null, null, null, "times_contacted desc");
  cur2.moveToFirst();

  int name=cur2.getColumnIndex("display_name");
  for(int i=0;i<cur2.getCount();i++){
    Log.v("name",""+cur2.getString(name));
    Log.v("times",""+cur2.getString(0));
    cur2.moveToNext();
  }

A: If the contact is stored in a database you need to add an additional column where you will put in the number of times the contact was called.
When the user makes a call you need to add some code to increment the value stored in the "number of times the contact was called" column by +1.
When you list the contacts just sort them by the "number of times the contact was called" column.

A: we donot have any such column to check whether contact has a photo or not... bt you can fetch the contact photo for eact contact if it exsists then place it at top otherwise not..
use this code to fetch the photo:(just pass the content resolver and id of each contact)
public static Bitmap loadContactPhoto(ContentResolver cr, long id) {
    Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, id);
    InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(cr, uri);
    // InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo
    if (input == null) {
        return null;
    }
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);

First published in 1924, Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada remains among Pablo Neruda's most popular work. Daringly metaphorical and sensuous, this collection juxtaposes youthful passion with the desolation of grief. Drawn from the poet's most intimate and personal associations, the poems combine eroticism and the natural world with the influence of expressionism and the genius of a master poet. This edition features the newly corrected original Spanish text, with masterly English translations by award-winning poet W. S. Merwin on facing pages.

Above Suspicion flays its central characters, but it's okay – they're awful
Movie Review: Above Suspicion
Emilia Clarke ditches the dragons and thrones to pick up a hillbilly accent and a horny FBI agent in Phillip Noyce's cautionary tale that explores ego, power and two people with a pathetic desire to control each other.

Remember a movie called Dead Calm? If you happened to catch that thriller back in 1989, there's little chance you'd forget a single frame. Not only did it introduce us to a young Nicole Kidman, it featured the creepiest performance to date from Billy Zane as he played a sociopath on a sinking yacht.
Dead Calm remains one of the scariest movies around, and for that, we can thank Australian director Philip Noyce. Noyce knows how to whittle tension from even the chunkiest and clunkiest of material, and his skills behind the camera salvage the cinematic dumpster fire called Above Suspicion.
Based on a true story that saw a federal agent convicted of murder, this reel stars Game of Thrones' dragon queen Emilia Clarke as an informant named Susan Smith, and Jack Huston as Mark — the pleasant-faced FBI guy who wants to climb the agency ladder, only to step on the snake of seduction — and suffer an epic fall.
Don't worry, I'm not spoiling anything by suggesting the larger arc of the story. The minute the movie begins, we hear Clarke's voice-over. It's a mix of smokey drawl and soft consonants that conjures nothing but Southern Gothic, and it's narrating a tale from from the other side of the grave. Susan's disembodied voice says "the problem with being dead is it gives you too much time to think…" — and so the story begins as a long series of Lovely Bones-like flashbacks.
We see Susan in her faded prime: a mother with a drug problem and an ex-husband who keeps this small town on a tight leash of addiction. She tells us the only people who can still make money are undertakers and drug dealers, and everyone else just does "what they gotta do" to survive. A beat later, she offers the caveat: "but it changes you… little by little."
From there, we wind back time to when Mark first comes to town, a fresh-faced agent looking to make a name for himself by solving a big case. For Susan, his clean-cut features and big city swagger make him a new cake in the window, and she wants a piece. For Susan, it's really all about her — all the time. She has needs, and she's willing to lie, co-opt and scheme to get her way. She uses all her feminine wiles and despite Mark's best intentions, he succumbs.
The two get lost in a runaway romance, shuddering in spasms of pleasure as the tracks grow more serpentine — and the locomotive of the law chugs in the opposite direction. They're heading for disaster, but by the time Mark tries to separate his car from Susan's, the train has already derailed. Susan is such a narcissist in need of affirmation and ownership, she goes so far as to seduce Mark while he's in bed with his wife. It's repulsive and creepy, and as a viewer, it's often hard to grasp why Mark crumples to this manipulative siren that successfully fuses the hillbilly ingenue of a Miley Cyrus with the timeless vengeance of a Medusa. Sure, it's about the thrill of the sex, but it's also about the desire for power — particularly how disenfranchised, jealous losers will do their best to intimidate their rivals in a bid to feel bigger than, better than, the pathetic souls they know themselves to be.
Sure, it's about the thrill of the sex, but it's also about the desire for power — particularly how disenfranchised, jealous losers will do their best to intimidate their rivals in a bid to feel bigger than, better than, the pathetic souls they know themselves to be.
It's all the ingredients of a Bronte novel, only delivered with all the twang and white trash cliche of a Dukes of Hazzard episode. It's not the best mix, and while watching Clarke play hillbilly wench opposite the clean cut Huston offers ample spectacle, Above Suspicion gets stuck in the muddy ruts of crime movie formula.
The plot wheels start spinning by the halfway point as we see through the denouement and wait for it to unfold, because our dead narrator has already told us what's going to happen. It's an awkward device, as voice-overs often are, but it also features a few killer lines that go straight down truth boulevard, such as "Show me a man who's working all the time, and I'll show you the woman he's trying to avoid." These snarky asides help us dissociate from the character, who may be dead, but remains largely unlikable despite being a victim. The problem with Susan is a failure to evolve, and a greedy need to take what she wants — regardless of the consequences — just to feel important, even for the briefest of moments.
"I'm gonna be a star witness… I'm an important informant…." she's so tediously self-absorbed, she'd be loathsome if Mark weren't equally immersed in his own ego. They're both ugly and irredeemable in their own ways, but Noyce is able to keep us watching because even if we know the final destination, he keeps clipping his characters with the momentum of their own actions. He makes them spin and stagger, seek safety on the shoulder, then he splatters them onto the broken pavement of their self-created fate.

There's something mildly satisfying about watching karma take its toll on the morally lazy and money-motivated mooches out there, especially when they brought it all on themselves. But Above Suspicion can't raise itself from the bog of viewer ambivalence because at the end of the day, watching two selfish losers make a bed of evil, and roll around in it for a cheap thrills, feels altogether banal, and boring because selfish losers have no imagination, no poetry and no desire to connect to the larger world around them.

Henry Jones (2 November 1831 – 10 February 1899) was an English writer under the name "Cavendish", an authority on whist and other card games, tennis and other lawn games.

Biography

Henry Jones was born in London, the eldest son of surgeon Henry Derviche Jones. He attended King's College School, Wimbledon from 1842 to 1848, and entered St Bartholomew's Hospital as a student during the 1849/50 session. His signature can be seen in the hospital's archives in the student signature book (a book that students signed when they began their studies) for the 1849/50 and 1850/1 sessions, where his address is given as 23 Soho Square.

Jones qualified MRCS (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons) in 1852 and practised medicine as a general practitioner (GP) until 1869 when he changed tack and became a full-time writer on games and sport. His writing career can be traced back to 1857 when he began writing about whist. Jones's father had been a keen devotee of this trick-taking card game, and under his tutelage, Jones had become a good player at an early age. He was a member of several whist clubs, among them the New Cavendish Club, and in 1862 he published The Laws and Principles of Whist: Stated and Explained and its Practice Illustrated on an Original System by Means of Hands Played Completely Through by "Cavendish", which became the leading treatise on the game. This work was followed by treatises on the laws of the card games of piquet and écarté. Jones became widely known as "Cavendish" and wrote extensively in The Field, the world's original country and fieldsports magazine, which was founded in 1853. As "Cavendish" he also wrote on billiards, lawn tennis and croquet, and contributed articles on whist and other table games to the ninth edition (1889) of the Encyclopædia Britannica. "Cavendish was not a law-maker, but he codified and commented upon the laws which had been made during many generations of card-playing." One of the most noteworthy points in his character was the manner in which he kept himself abreast of improvements in his favourite game.

Lawn tennis

In 1869 Jones joined the All England Croquet Club, which had been founded the previous year. He was later voted onto the club's  committee and was Secretary for a brief period in 1871. In 1875 Jones proposed that one of the club's croquet lawns should be set aside for playing lawn tennis, which proved to be a significant step. In 1877, Club Secretary John Walsh proposed that a lawn tennis championship be held, and "Wimbledon" was born. Jones and two other prominent men, Julian Marshall and John Moyer Heathcote, formed a sub-committee to frame the rules, many of which survive today, and Jones was referee at The Championships from 1877 to 1885.

The only tournament of the inaugural 1877 Wimbledon Championship was the Gentlemen's Singles, which was won from a field of 22 competitors by Spencer Gore, an old Harrovian rackets player. The final attracted a crowd of about 200 spectators, who each paid one shilling. Today, centre court tickets for Gentleman's Finals Day cost £75.

The Ladies' Singles tournament was inaugurated in 1884 when Maud Watson became the champion from an entry of just 13 players. The same year, the Gentlemen's Doubles was started, with a trophy donated to the club by Oxford University Lawn Tennis Club following the cessation of their own doubles championship.

Henry Jones died in 1899 when the fortunes of Wimbledon were at a low ebb. Public affection for the championships had waned in the 1890s and Jones' obituaries largely ignored his role in lawn tennis.

Legacy
Cavendish Road in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia was named after his pen name Cavendish by early residents who were keen whist players.
