Formula 1: Bird Walking
On this all new episode of Formula Feud we review the blowout Formula 1 race in Belgium last weekend. Pun intended! Yes, Brad and Brandon were very disappointed that Sebastian Vettel is all but eliminated from the driver's championship.
We talk about the unique situation Lotus found themselves in. There has to be some kind of record broken if you can get your first podium in 2 years and get your cars impounded the next day. Of course, the rest of Lotus' race weekend was pretty normal with Pastor Maldonado taking his Formula 1 car off road to ruin his race.
McLaren were set to shock everyone with their performance update but everyone was just shocked to see Fernando Alonso come out of the Red Bull building. Is Formula 1's most awkward team doomed to remain at the back forever?
After the race review we cover our favorite news stories from the past week. Russia thinks about becoming the third night race on the F1 calendar. Red Bull are strategically taking engine penalties in Monza to optimize their race in Singapore. And Bernie Ecclestone says Mercedes' domination of Formula 1 is bad for the sport. The irony is palpable!
All this and more on an all new episode of Formula Feud.

You are here: Home / Family Living / Multiplication Math Tricks!
My first thought this morning was to wow you guys with some homemade something or other but my daughter felt the need to toss out an idea. She thought it would be peachy keen (yeah they don't say that anymore) to show you guys a few math tricks that will either make your kids learn their multiplication tables or find a different way to do them. My husband says one of the techniques is maddening and would force a child to memorize their multiplication tables. My kids enjoyed playing with these math tricks so I figured on a snow day, this might entertain your children as well.
This trick does not have a name that I know of but it is a lot fun. It really helped my daughter with her confidence when she was learning her 9 multiplication tables.
This particular trick teaches your little one their 9 multiplication tables. Simply write TEN lines on a sheet of paper and choose your math problem.
For this problem, I chose 9 x 7= . Simply count left to right and scratch away the 7th line.
To the left of the 7th line (the line with the squiggle), you will find that there are 6 lines and to the right there are 3. The answer to 9 multiplied by 7 is 63!
This trick is great to empower the children when they fear learning their 9 times tables.
This works well for 9 multiplied by any number between and including 1 and 10. Here is another great example.
Our next fun tip is a trick to learning your 7 multiplication tables. This one is odd and simple. Begin by drawing yourself a tic tac toe chart.
Now comes the fun part! Starting by placing the number 0 in front of the number 7 and continue with 1 and on to number 2. Since 2 was the last number you used, begin the row with the number 2. Continue on until you reach number 4. Begin the last row with the number 4 and finish the Tic Tac Math-O!
This trick can continue on and on but I just wanted to give you a quick example.
Last but not least, multiplication made easy. I say easy but my husband says it will make a kid want to learn the "proper" way to multiply. That just means the way he finds the highest level of comfort.
Our math problem for this exercise is 14 x 12 =. For this exercise, I decided to color code the numbers.
For the number 14, I drew 1 line to represent the 1 in 14 and 4 lines to represent the 4 in 14. Notice that these lines are slanted. This is important as we will draw different lines to represent the other half of our math problem.
In brown, I have drawn a line crossing all of the existing lines. This line represents the number 1 in 12. Now I will draw 2 more lines to represent the 2 in 12.
Now that we have all the lines drawn, it is time to mark the intersections. Have your little student to draw a dot or circle over each intersection.
This problem is very interesting because you have to look at where the lines cross initially. On the left, it is clear there is one intersecting side. Draw a line that separates that one dot from the rest of the dots. Look to the right and draw a line separating the next section of dots. This may not seem as clear the first time you do the problem. It gets easier as you go.
Now it is time to count the intersections. Start from left to right and count the numbers in each section.
Now you see why the husband thinks this will force your kids to learn the traditional way to do multiplication. Once you get the hang of this, it's very simple. Check out this next example and see if it starts to become clearer.
The first few steps are pretty simple. The toughest part is knowing where to separate the intersections. I think this problem shows the easiest way to perform this task.
Notice the intersection above with the arrow. Base your separation on the piece that intersects furthest to the right or left.
Notice how the line does not cross the second set of intersecting lines. This is the key to knowing where to separate. Now just count your intersections and you will have your answer.
Now you have a few starter tricks to share with your children. This is just multiplication, imagine what else we do when we get bored!

Since 2008 Martin Potter has been making the acclaimed Big Stories, Small Towns documentary project.
He'll talk about this work and a list from his friend Jonathon.
Cramming it All In! Accomplishing my 40 Before 40 List in Four Years!
Back when Janic Gorayeb was 36 and before applying to her Masters in Leadership, she hit a rut both personally and professionally and decided to create a "40 Before 40" list and blog about it.
Sally May -a recovering 'busy' person- shows us how to improve our life through essentialism and prioritising necessities such as sleep. We also learn when to say no in order to change our lives for the better and start living by design.
We end this week of presentation highlights with Swedish artist Bella Rune, who walks us through the creation of an amazing outdoor "installation." Bella's magnetic personality and work drew people to a deserted airfield in Sweden for a day of filming. She describes her work as a "physical manifestation of human dreams and aspirations and the sad and touching consequences of when these fail to deliver." Bella is currently Artist in Residence at Tokyo WonderSite.
Katerina Egorushkina (of PKN Kyiv Vol. 9) speaks -- in Ukrainian -- on the extent to which childhood fables shape our dreams. We learn about "tales therapy": through the impression of therapeutic tales and creative visualization one can convert their (not borrowed!) dreams to reality. Katerina shares her personal and professional experiences with tales therapy in this presentation.
Protasov Olga shares (at PKN Kyiv Vol. 9, in Ukrainian) a few ideas on the education of her children, and hopes to inspire us to borrow from her experience. In her presentation, she points out that it's often the little things we fail to notice that end up shaping our children into the adults they become.
"No one ever laid on their deathbed and wished they had acquired more stuff." In The Hijacked American Dream, Joel Larsgaard (at PechaKucha Atlanta, Vol. 20) speaks on what Americans currently define as "The American Dream." What was once defined by James T. Adams as a dream of a "land that would be better, richer, and fuller for everyone" has become twisted, and nigh unrecognizable today. He delves into the culture of consumerism that he compares to drug use, "a brief high, followed by a crash."
How far would you push yourself to realize your dreams? Samantha Nienow and Rebecca Layman feed their inner desires to achieve as they train for the Half Ironman, a gruelling marathon that combines swimming, biking, and running. In "Feeding the Achieve" from PKN Bemidji Vol. 19, they push each other through highs and lows and offer each other support as they strive for the same goal.
Go out there. Search for your colors. Put as many on your palette as you can, mix them, and make them your own. Kairini Guay is a native of Western Sumatra who has lived in Bangor, Maine for ten years. Currently, Khairini is studying computer information systems and earning her MBA at Husson University. In "Journey, Cultural Diversity, and Dreams" from PKN Bangor, ME Vol. 12, she presents about the colors of her life and her journey through a multicultural world. She speaks about her home in Sumatra, it's matrilinear culture, and tells us some historical myths.
"Every now and then, something extraordinary occurs." In Moonhouse from PechaKucha Night Stockholm Vol. 50, Johan Molin shares an inspiring project by Swedish artist Mikael Genberg aimed at building a tiny red house on the surface of the moon. The project is more that is seems at first glance, tackling ideas about how we can fulfill our dreams and goals. If we are willing to strive for something, we can do anything, even if that anything is beyond our most truly wild imaginations. We just need to stop asking if our dreams are possible and start asking how to make our dreams possible.

Yes, there is always the option to check the system prop "java.vendor", but since Gradle already handles this for the Java version I wonder if there is a convenience for provider as well?

A: I've had to do the same, and the System properties were the best way to do it. Here's an example of putting several system properties into the manifest of the jars being assembled.
tasks.withType(Jar){
    manifest.attributes.putAll([
"java-vm-specification-version": System.getProperty("java.vm.specification.version"),
        "java-vm-specification-vendor" : System.getProperty("java.vm.specification.vendor"),
        "java-vm-specification-name"   : System.getProperty("java.vm.specification.name"),
        "java-vm-version"              : System.getProperty("java.vm.version"),
        "java-vm-vendor"               : System.getProperty("java.vm.specification.vendor"),
        "java-vm-name"                 : System.getProperty("java.vm.name"),
        "java-specification-version"   : System.getProperty("java.specification.version"),
        "java-specification-vendor"    : System.getProperty("java.specification.vendor"),
        "java-specification-name"      : System.getProperty("java.specification.name")
    ])
}

A: From what I can tell from the Source Code, there is no convenience function to retrieve the Java vendor string. Gradle relies on system property java.vendor as well in internal code.

Q: Change text color while writing I am writing scripts and I need to separate actual text from comments by color.
For example the code is in black, and the comments are in red.
**writeln('this one should be BLACK');**
*this is a commentary, which should be RED*

Is there any software which would allow me to type text and switch current typing color by a matter of pressing a key? for example CAPSLOCK .. ?

A: What you are looking for are Color Schemes, which automatically set the text color based on the context. Sublime supports them out of the box, see https://docs.sublimetext.io/guide/customization/color_schemes.html and https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/color_schemes.html.

A:
but I don't want context to define my text color. I WANT to do it. I should be responsible for this.

The issue with this is that good code editors ideally do not like to modify your source files.
For your use case the editor will have to store some extra information (metadata) somewhere so that it can keep track of, and display, the right colour to you in the editor. It can do this by storing this additional metadata in your source file itself or by storing it separately in its own database or a separate file.
Obviously adding this extra information in the source file may interfere with code execution, when you run your code. Storing the data separately is better but this data can be lost if you don't copy the metadata file / rules too when copying your source file and viewing it in a different system.
That's why most code editors display colours based on context, after analysing your code, as this way, they don't have to include any additional data in your source file.

Anyway, you can try the first approach by defining your own metadata and storing it in your source code using TextMate.
TextMate editor has a feature called Bundles (equivalent to macros or scripts).
You should be able to do what you want by creating your own bundle to search for some specific keywords in code comments (like NOTE, WARNING, TODO or RED, BLUE, GREEN etc.) and defining that when such keywords are encountered the text following them should be coloured with whatever colour you have defined for them.
Here's the documentation on TextMate Bundles.

Otherwise, just use Pages and write your code in that. And when you want to execute your code, manually copy and paste it to a text file and run it.

Algeria's National Motorway Agency ANA (Agence Nationale des Autoroutes), which is in charge of the construction of the new infrastructure, after 7 years of work and 11.4 bn dollars spent, has almost completed its first megaproject, the construction of the East-West Motorway (1,216 km long), which runs from the western border with Morocco to the eastern border with Tunisia, connecting the country's three major cities along the way: Constantine (Eastern lot), Algiers (Central lot) and Oran (Western lot). Approx. 121 km of the Eastern lot now remain to complete this infrastructure.
This is the most important infrastructure project ever built in Algeria.
ANAS,through ANAS International Enterprise, is responsible for the Site Supervision of the Eastern lot of the Motorway (399 Km).
ANAS International Enterprise was awarded an international contract, as part of a temporary association with the Italian-based companies ITALCONSULT, INCO and STE, and has been providing Site Supervision services (BSC - Bureau de Contrôle et Suivi) since August 2008.
In this role, it has also demonstrated control of a stretch of the road surface with its test and evaluation vehicles (TSD), and software, arousing the interest of the ANA for their extensive application in evaluating the quality of the works after their completion.
The Site Supervisory activities proved an important challenge for the ANAS - led grouping, which has deployed almost 500 persons – mostly Algerian technicians and engineers. Today, about 200 of the 399 km of the Eastern lot have been opened to traffic.
Anas CEO, Gianni Vittorio Armani attended the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), a primary event in the world of business and economy.
In 2005 Anas began operating on foreign markets providing engineering services to Ministries, Road Authorities and private companies as a consultant or potential partner for the planning, design, maintenance, supervision and control of road and motorway networks.
Starting from 2012 these international activities have been conducted by a subsidiary company, ANAS International Enterprise (AIE), purposely established to develop new business opportunities abroad.

Saint Martin the Merciful
Whenever I pack to go camping, it's inevitable that I will find myself asking the same question. Generally between stops at the store, and cramming sleeping bags, tents, cookware, rain gear, toilet paper, ice, meals and water into the car, I will pause and think: Remind me why it takes so much stuff to slow down and live simply for the weekend?
I value the simplicity of spending time in the woods. But if I'm honest, staying home feels like the simpler option.
You know this feeling too, I'm sure. Wearing two hats (or more!) for the weekend or as a vocation. Maybe you chose them both, maybe you didn't choose either: wife and caretaker; working and mom; leader and introvert. Absolutely none of these things are mutually exclusive, but we all resonate with the feeling of having more than one calling at one time. We understand the need to be true to ourselves while being faithful to our call. In other words, we are well-versed in paradoxes.
Saint Martin of Tours is a fascinating study in what it means to live in paradox.
Saint Martin of Tours
Born into a pagan family, Martin began attending a Christian church as a boy and chose to become initiated in the Church against his father's wishes. Christianity had become legalized only three years before Saint Martin was born. Followers of Christianity were not highly regarded at this time, particularly among people of means.
As the son of a military family, Martin was required to become a soldier in the Roman army. After his Baptism in 354, however, Saint Martin declared his allegiance to Christ rather than his commanding officer: "I am the soldier of Christ: it is not lawful for me to fight."
In response, Martin was jailed and called a coward. Martin offered to go unarmed to the battlefront, and leaders nearly took him up on the offer but the battle never occurred because their opponents unexpectedly sought peace. Saint Martin was released from military service.
Martin the Merciful
Among the many marks of his saintly life, Martin of Tours is most famously known as "Martin the merciful" after an encounter with a naked beggar. A Roman soldier at the time, Martin cut his own cloak in two and gave half to the beggar. Later in a dream, the face of the man to whom he had given the cloak was revealed to be Christ. Beautifully, this image is heralded by those in military service as well as those aligned with pacifism.
He is celebrated as both patron of soldiers as well as conscientious objectors. In fact, his feast day (November 11th) is also the secular observance of Veteran's Day in the United States, on which we recognize and celebrate all soldiers living and deceased who have fought on behalf of their country. His unique example made him a bridge between two distinct camps: pacifists and soldiers.
His Defense of the Truth
Following his military service, Martin became a follower of Hilary of Poitiers and a staunch defender of the Church against Arianism. For this he was beaten and exiled by the Arian Archbishop. In 361 he became a hermit and established a hermitage that attracted many followers.
Ten years later, Martin was selected as Bishop of Tours. Legend has it that he was so opposed to this post that he hid in a barn full of geese, but their cackling gave him away. (Thus arose the connection to his title as patron Saint of geese). Despite naysayers who thought him too disheveled to serve as bishop, he rallied and served to eliminate pagan temples and statues, all the while establishing monasteries. Eventually, he established the monastery of Marmoutier, where he could be near Tours while living his call to the monastic life and avoiding public attention.
Living the Call of Christ
The shrine of Saint Martin de Tours continues to be a popular stopping point for those pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago Compostela in Spain. Martin himself remains an important figure in the tradition of the Church that holds room and celebrates his loyalty and commitment as a soldier, as well as his prayerful discernment to opt out of conflict he could not fight in good conscience.
Saint Martin, although raised pagan, chose Christ. While serving in the Roman army, he chose to serve Christ rather than his anti-Christian leaders. In his public role as bishop, Martin found creative solutions to lead while maintaining commitment to his call as a monastic.
In your own walk with Christ, have you been challenged to serve with creativity between different callings? How does Saint Martin inspire you to persevere?
Lord God of hosts, who clothed your servant Martin the Soldier with the spirit of sacrifice, and set him as a bishop of your Church to be a defender of the Catholic faith; Give us grace to follow in his holy steps that at the last we may be found clothed with righteousness in the dwellings of peace through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever. Amen.
Saint Martin de Tours, pray for us!

Welcome to Part 2 of the RPL Programming Tutorial for the HP 49g+ and 50g calculators. To recap, Part 1 talked about how to create, save, run, and (if need be) delete a program.
In Part 2, introduces the concept of the local variable. Simply put, a local variable is a variable that is used in a program and is then purged (deleted) at the end of the program. Local variables are not stored outside of the program, which saves memory.
Hint: There are times that you want to store information outside of a program. To do so, just store the data in a variable enclosed in single quotes followed by a STO command. These variables are called global variables.
After the first two numbers, each succeed number is the sum of the last two numbers.
F_n = F_(n-1) + F_(n-2) where F_1 = 1 and F_2=1.
Comments will be italicized, starting with an asterisk *. This program starts with M on Level 1 of the stack.
This tutorial is created and is the property of Edward Shore. No mass reproduction without express permission of the author.
Edit: 10/20/11: correct an error in the formula in the text. The program is correct.
I love your tutorials. I used to be very familiar with HP41 programming, but the HP50g is so much different!
I want to write a simple program that takes a year (e.g. 2015) off Level 1, stores that as variable 'Y', divides it by 19, takes the fractional part, multiplies the FP by 19 to get the remainder as a real number, and store that as variable 'a'.
If I run <<19 / FP 19 * >>, no problem, and the number 1 is left on Level 1. The moment I try to create a variable, I get "STO Error: Bad Argument Type".
For example, << STO 'Y' 19 / FP 19 * >> and << 19 /FP 19 * STO 'a' >> bothe generate the error report, so obviously I'm doing something wrong with the STO command.
Where am I going wrong, please?
I think I've solved the problem myself. I omit the STO commands from the program, and the numbers are automatically stored in the named local variables which are created each time the program is run.
So, the program now reads: << 'Y' 19 / FP 19 * 'a' >>.
Me again - two years later.
What does "&rarr" mean in your programs, please?
I am a learner of the HP50g. Though I have this calculator for couple of years never had the opportunity to fully realize its potential and computing capabilities. More so of programming. Been trying to learn but unfortunately never had a good material to educate myself until today. When I stumbled across these tutorials thru Google. These are very informative and thanks for the very educational examples and illustrations.


A remnant is a small part or portion that remains after the main part no longer exists. A stone remnant is the smaller piece(s) of stone remaining after a larger job is completed.
What are remnants used for?
Stepping stones, bathroom vanities, desk tops, fireplace hearths, mantels, window ledges, laundry rooms, stairs, bench tops, and even smaller kitchens. Remnants can be used for a ton of different things.
What dimensions do remnants come in?
The dimensions vary. A remnant could be anywhere from 12" x 12", 70" x 36" to 105" x 23".
What type of stones will I find?
This depends on the type of stone popular in your area. Many times you will find marble, limestone, granite, soapstone and travertine. Different fabricators have different choices.
What colors do stone remnants come in?
Remnants come in EVERY color. What's available depends on what colors are popular in your area. Some remnant examples include Carrara Marble, Autumn Brown, Santa Cecilia, and Tropic Brown.
Why would I want to use a remnant?
The stone is already there. It's quicker to fabricate.
Many fabricators sell remnants at discounted pricing.
Sometimes you can pick up a really unique stone at a great price!
Are remnants precut and ready to install?
Not necessarily. There is usually some customization needed. Your idea, your dimensions, and your edge detail.
How many remnants are available?
Depends on the fabricator. Some fabricators have just a few where others offer you 100+ choices.
When looking for remnants, keep an open mind!
Instead of calling and asking if Emerald Pearl is available, go TAKE A LOOK at the remnants available. You might find a similar stone, an incredible deal on a super exotic stone or even change your mind.
Absolutely need a particular color? It's leg work and a little bit of luck.
Call around to see if the stone you are looking for is available. If it's NOT, leave your name, the name of the stone you're looking for, and minimum dimensions with the fabricator. Find local fabricators here.
Remnants are a great way to go for smaller projects.
Here was my EASY landscape design idea using limestone remnants. I thought it was a pretty simple project that added a lot of character to our driveway!

China sees record daily crude steel output in August
China logged a record daily output of crude steel in August as the country's economic recovery consolidates, industry data showed.
The daily output of crude steel came in at 3.06 million tonnes in August, hitting its highest-ever daily level, according to the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA), citing data from the National Bureau of Statistics.
The outputs of pig iron and rolled steel were 2.53 million tonnes and 3.84 million tonnes per day, respectively.
From January to August, the crude steel output climbed 3.7 percent year on year to 688.89 million tonnes, and the outputs of pig iron and rolled steel rose by 3.4 percent and 4.8 percent from the same period last year to 589.4 million tonnes and 844.69 million tonnes, CISA data showed.
Despite robust steel consumption in the peak months of September and October, the rapid steel output recovery and burgeoning imports of rolled steel and other materials will put pressure on the supply side, according to a report from the CISA.
In this scenario, the CISA said a surge in the price of rolled steel is unlikely.
China's crude steel production declined in 2022 for the second year in a row
Oil prices rise after China opens its borders
China reimposes tariffs on coal imports

Modi, Trump and the defilement of Delhi
Written by Susan Ram
Published in Latest News

Hope for Delhi's ravaged communities lies in practical solidarity irrespective of faith, writes Susan Ram
There can be few parallels for the events of the past few days in India's national capital. As if enacting a grisly surrealist pantomime, the leaders of the world's two largest democracies (or so the cliché runs) conducted their first tète-à-tète on Indian soil in a context of the worst violence Delhi has experienced for decades.
Against a backdrop of deadly assaults on peaceful demonstrators, targeted attacks on Muslim neighbourhoods, the desecration of mosques, the burning to death of victims trapped in their homes, and the laying waste of significant swathes of Delhi – the Washington of India – Donald Trump and Narendra Modi had little difficulty in retaining their sang froid. In the joint press conference held at the end of Trump's visit, neither seemed inclined to comment on the smoke wafting across the skyline. Hailing their new "strategic partnership", Trump made a point of lauding his "good friend" Modi for his "commitment to freedom" and "religious tolerance".
At the time of writing, 38 Delhi residents have lost their lives as a result of the mayhem. The homes, businesses, vehicles, neighbourhoods and hopes of thousands more lie in ruins.
The starting point for Delhi's infernal descent was Sunday February 23 – the eve of Trump's arrival on a two-day state visit, his first to India. Fired up by the incendiary rhetoric of Kapil Mishra, a local leader of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), far right 'Hindu nationalist' mobs wielding sticks and iron bars descended on those staging a peaceful mass protest against Modi's new citizenship act (CAA) in Jaffrabad, a suburban township in the northeast of the city. Here, some 500 people, mostly women, had gathered to fight against the CAA and its partner legislation, the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Carrying the national tricolour and raising slogans of 'aazadi' ('freedom'), the women had blocked a road and vowed not to move from the site until the Central Government had revoked the CAA.
With the foreknowledge and connivance of top BJP leaders and the Delhi police, Mishra unleashed a tide of devastation and terror that spread rapidly to nearby areas. By Monday February 24 (just as Trump, now on Indian soil, was doing the rounds of the Taj Mahal, a Muslim monument that even in Modi times remains a must-see for visiting bigwigs) a succession of neighbourhoods, all with substantial Muslim populations, had been turned into battlefields. Homes, shops and vehicles were set on fire, and the first killings took place or came to light.
By Tuesday, the conflagration was inexorably rolling on, impervious to lacklustre police measures. In Ashok Nagar a mosque was vandalised and set on fire, thugs scrambling up one of its minarets to plant a flag to Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god, on the summit. "Hinduon ka Hindustan!" roared the mob below: "India for Hindus!" By the afternoon, Hindu extremists were torching Muslim-owned shops and vehicles in Durgapuri. In Gamri extension an 85-year-old woman was burnt to death when a mob set fire to her house. Thugs wielding sticks and iron rods were now stalking the streets and alleys of a lengthening list of northeast Delhi neighbourhoods: Bhajanpura, Chand Bagh, Karawal Nagar.
And so it continued until belated police and army intervention, reinforced by stiff words from the Delhi High Court, which played video clips of Kapil Mishra's speech, achieved some degree of normalcy. (The Delhi High Court judge who, while presiding over the bench, delivered some withering comments on the police response was transferred overnight to the High Court of Punjab and Hayana).
The state-sponsored violence inflicted on thousands of Delhi residents over the past few days reveals some of the characteristics of a sequence of pogroms that have disfigured India since Independence in 1947. As yet nothing has approached the orgy of killing that accompanied the partition of the country at the moment of its freedom from British colonial rule. But there have been too many ghastly instances of the targeted mass killing of people belonging to religious minorities: whether the Sikhs singled out for slaughter following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards in 1984 or the Muslims of Gujarat, two thousand or more of whom perished during the 2002 pogrom facilitated by the state's then Chief Minister: Narendra Modi.
This time round, it was the BJP's poor showing in elections to Delhi's state-level legislature earlier this month which evidently acted as the trigger. While the BJP holds all of Delhi's seven seats in the national parliament (the Lok Sabha), at the municipal level (the National Capital Territory) power has for several years been in the hands of an opposition party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP – the Party of the Common Man). For reasons of prestige as well as political calculus, the BJP has made it a primary goal to wrest control away from this upstart outfit. To this end, a major offensive, led by Home Minister Amit Shah, Modi's sinister and belligerent sidekick-in-chief, was conducted over the weeks leading up to the election on February 8. In this, the BJP deployed all its well-homed weaponry of war – the slick propaganda, the battalions of foot soldiers (on the streets and on social media), the bulging war chest delivered by India's big bourgeoisie,. All to no avail. Yet again, the AAP emerged with a barnstorming majority: 62 out of a total of 70 seats. While the BJP achieved a small swing in its favour and gained five new seats, this was small consolation. Reprisals were clearly in order.
While punishing the recalcitrant voters of Delhi, the BJP has also sought to implicate the AAP in the violence. Recasting the victims of mob violence as the perpetrators has been developed to the status of a fine art under the Modi-Shah dispensation. When BJP-backed thugs armed with batons and iron bars entered the campus of Delhi's internationally renowned Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to beat up leftist students on January 5 of this year, it was the upstanding student union president (who had received serious head wounds during the attack) who found herself facing criminal charges.
The JNU attack came hard on the heels of the mid-December 2019 assault, this time by police, on students of Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi. Images of Muslim women students wearing headscarves forming protective walls around fallen comrades alerted people across the world to the resistance building in India to the Modi government's racist, Islamophobic and divisive new citizenship laws. In every corner of India, a magnificent movement of peaceful mass protest was quickly taking shape. Mass rallies, sit-ins and occupations of public spaces have provided scope for people from a variety of backgrounds and religious faiths to come together and reaffirm support for the founding principles of the Indian Republic, including the commitment to secularism. Along with inventive homemade placards, participants brandish copies of the Indian Constitution. The prominent presence of women and girls has encouraged the mobilisation of new sections, including feisty Muslim women in their tens of thousands.
In this context, the readiness of the BJP to resort to naked terror has a clear logic. Firstly, the far-right, fascist-leaning party hopes to dismantle the formidable opposition ranged against it by deploying its vast army of 'militarised' supporters. At the core of this lies the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the secretive, avowedly fascist organisation, dating back to 1925, whose goal is to reconstitute India as an exclusively Hindu nation. The RSS membership, estimated at 5-6 million, engages in regular training in preparation for this coming conflagration; as such, it constitutes a classic instance of fascist organisation, geared to taking on the working class and the left as well as terrorising minority communities. Outside the RSS, if intimately connected with it, a range of other shady 'Hindu nationalist' armed organisations, among them the Bajrang Dal, similarly aspire to be battle-ready.
A second objective of the recent violence in Delhi may well be to provoke India's Muslims into extreme, counterproductive forms of retaliation. No one would be happier than Modi and team to see a return of the hideous bombing campaigns conducted by radicalised Muslims in Delhi, Mumbai and other Indian cities during the early years of this century.
To prevent this, the mass movement of protest must be sustained and enlarged. If one positive feature can be extracted from the horror of the past few days, it is the readiness of so many Delhi residents, irrespective of faith and in many instances class, to provide wholehearted, practical support and protection for beleaguered Muslim neighbours.
In the end, it is this instinctive solidarity, rooted in years of shared experiences and living together, that has the potential to dissipate the foul atmosphere now enveloping Delhi's ravaged communities. Along with the smoke from still smouldering buildings, there's an altogether more menacing stench: insinuating, nauseous and horribly familiar.

Constellation CEO's Wife to Appear on Reality Show
Shattuck makes headlines again
Published November 6, 2008 • Updated on November 6, 2008 at 11:12 am
BALTIMORE -- The wife of Constellation Energy Inc. CEO Mayo Shattuck will appear on an episode of the Fox reality series "Secret Millionaire."
The show puts wealthy people in impoverished communities, where they give away at least $100,000 of their fortunes.
Molly Shattuck has already filmed her episode, in which she works for five days as a waitress in Shenandoah, Pa., a coal-mining town.
Shattuck told The Baltimore Examiner that the community reminded her of her Pennsylvania hometown.
In 2005, the mother of five became the oldest cheerleader in NFL history when she worked the sidelines for the Baltimore Ravens.
"Secret Millionaire" debuts Dec. 3; an airdate for Shattuck's episode has not been determined.

OAS FCU News
Carlos Calderon wins NAFCU's 2019 CEO of the Year Award
We have great news! Our President and CEO of OAS FCU has won the highly coveted CEO of the Year Award, granted by the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU).
Interested readers can read more about the NAFCU awards and the winners here.
The prestigious CEO of the Year Award, recognizing Mr. Calderon's contributions to OAS FCU, the community, and the credit union industry in the past year, will be awarded to him in person at the NAFCU 52nd Annual Conference and Solutions Expo, which will take place in New Orleans, June 18-21.
The criteria
The award judges a multitude of candidates on the following criteria: Leadership and management ability; ability to coordinate and work with volunteers and staff; achievements; contribution to the credit union community; commitment to preserving staff morale and supporting staff education, and; education and training. NAFCU awards it yearly to two different winners, based on their credit union size: below $250 million in assets, and above $250 million.
Carlos's leadership
Carlos's management and leadership qualities are many and expressed in many ways. As you all know, under Carlos's management, we have grown exponentially: from a $43 million (in assets) credit union with 3,096 members, to our current 8,285 members and nearly $250 million in assets. Our credit union provides full banking services to members in 57 different countries.
Mr. Calderon's people skills and his ability to get people working together have contributed to the growth of OAS FCU: we've grown in assets and members, but also in the number of volunteers that guide us. We boast a group of over 50 skilled and highly specialized volunteers who are fully committed to serve in our committees.
For the staff of OAS FCU
The same way he understands the importance of promoting volunteer education and leadership, Carlos has ensured that OAS FCU staff policies and procedures work for the needs and obligations of all the employees. Our staff policies are open, dynamic and constantly available for debate and amendment, when needed. Knowing that we have a say in our own work expectations and rules allows the employees to feel enthusiastic about working on this joint endeavor with a greater purpose that is our Credit Union. This translates in much more personalized, friendly and meaningful service to you, our members.
Carlos has been responsible of most of our greatest achievements. The most recent was his leadership as he prepared and guided us through our merger with National Geographic Federal Credit Union.
Additionally, he advocated a radical shift, to migrate our Credit Union into a next-generation core technology system. The new system is designed to support our members across the globe and to provide new digital channels of engagement.
Our achievements because of El Jefe, as we call him, have led OAS FCU to be a forerunner in many other areas that are new. Some of them are not just new in the credit union arena, but in the financial services sector overall. Our Credit Union is directly involved in not one but two blockchain initiatives that aim to create shared network ledgers for the benefit of all users.
Carlos helping people
One central idea that permeates Carlos's actions comes from his utmost belief in the idea of "people helping people". That's why, as he goes about his work of directing and advancing OAS FCU, he is always looking for ways to expand what we have and go outwards: he wants our initiatives to help other credit unions, other people. His achievements –and by proxy, ours- on behalf of, and for the good of credit union community are many and varied:
Carlos created, organized, founded and was the first President of NLCUP, the Network of Latino Credit Union and Professionals. Its mission is to serve and empower the Latino community with financial and development services.
He co-directed a collaborative credit union effort that culminated in the opening of the ACCESO Office in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington DC. This is a unique branch of District Government Employees FCU, one of the original partners. It specializes in offering banking services to some of the most financially underserved demographics in the nation.
Carlos has also been a long-time collaborator in projects organized by Inclusiv (formerly known as the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions); most recently, he rendered assistance in the creation of the Juntos Avanzamos initiative.
Because of all these amazing achievements and his outstanding performance at the helm of OAS FCU, it was our belief that Carlos was worthy of the CEO of the Year Award. Unbeknownst to him, a group of staff and volunteers worked together to nominate him earlier this year. To us, nobody is more deserving of the honor.
Congratulations, Jefe!

Showbiz Analysis: Record Producer J.R. Rotem Talks Music, Empire and Gwen Stefani

Producer J.R. Rotem (Photo by Joe Magnani)
Behind every music superstar and hot soundtrack is a lot of behind-the-scenes talent that rarely makes headlines, but helps drive the award-winning sound. So I was excited to catch up with producer/songwriter J.R. Rotem for my podcast Whine At 9 to talk about his career and work with megastars like Gwen Stefani and Fox's hit series Empire.
It's probably safe to say that J.R. Rotem never contemplated a career outside of music. That's because he could never visualize himself without music being front-and-center in his life. Explains the 40-year-old record producer, "I can't say that I knew, you know, the entire time exactly what role I would play in music. I can tell you that from a very, very young age I knew that I was going to do something in music. Even as early as 3 or 4 years old."
That little boy hunch was right. Rotem, a Berklee College of Music graduate, would grow up to gain creds that would impress any music fan. Working with artists like Rihanna, Britney Spears, Jason Derulo and Gwen Stefani, Rotem has flexed his creative muscles in many directions.
Clueless about record making, I had to know—Does Rotem go on an emotional journey with the artist, or can it be an independent process for team members that later gets merged to create the track? Rotem notes that, while this can differ among artists, working with Stefani involved a shared emotional journey that was inspiring. "I was just blessed to go on the ride and that was a truly amazing experience."
"When she got in the studio with me, she was at the beginning process of her album," he says. "You know, she was obviously going through an extremely transitional phase…it was very, very obvious in the writing process….She's really just amazing. I mean she's extremely honest…she wasn't just writing songs just to write songs. They were definitely relating to specific events in her life.
"In the case of Gwen, it was just this natural chemistry—musical and even just as people. So we really, really went on a real trip with her. And every day was like the songs were kind of an extension of what she was feeling, and what she was going through. And it was my job, as a producer, to try to channel what she was feeling, you know, in the best way possible. She really, really knows what she wants. She's one of those exceptions though. It's not every time that you get in the room with somebody on that level—who's such a legend, who's accomplished so much, who's such a superstar. So I was really just lucky…That was one of those magical experiences where every day would get better than the next…And I ended up producing 10 songs on her [new] album." One of those songs includes Stefani's smash hit "Used to Love You."
Of course, entertainment success often means being open to creative projects you never saw coming. Such is the case with Rotem, whose music can now be heard on Fox's Empire where he is music producer and songwriter for Season 2 of the hit series. Rotem, who in college thought of working with film soundtracks, loves that this experience has brought that dream full circle, while still allowing him to work with artists. "I think my natural personality and skill set is kind of congruent with how TV works….it's kind of cool to be able to do both."
When it comes to finding career success, sometimes it's hard to know what the world has in store for you. "You have plans for yourself," he says. "All you can really do is work as hard as you can, send as much positive energy as you can. And sometimes the Universe has an even greater plan than you thought."

March 2019 – Biscayne National Park Superintendent Margaret Goodro is headed west to assume the top job at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The National Park Service announced the move on March 25 (see below). No word on a replacement yet at Biscayne National Park. The SFNPT has worked with Goodro and park staff to remove tons of debris from Biscayne beaches and coral reefs as part of the park's Keep Biscayne Beautiful campaign. Learn how you can support the campaign through the Biscayne National Park Stewardship Fund.
HOMESTEAD, FL – Margaret L. Goodro, superintendent at Biscayne National Park, is selected as "Senior Executive Series" superintendent for Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada and Arizona. Since October 2016, Goodro has been serving as the superintendent for Biscayne National Park.
While at Biscayne, Margaret authorized the creation of the Biscayne National Park Institute, the only marine institute in the National Park Service. The creation of the Institute expanded access for park visitors to get out on the water and experience their park on eco educational adventures. This partnership has expanded access to more of the park for more visitors than ever before. As a result, about 35,000 visitors enjoyed new adventures, 22 local jobs were created and close to $200,000 in support went to the park. This unique partnership is viewed as a creative and successful model for the National Park Service.
During Hurricane Irma, Margaret served as the park's Incident Commander. The park sustained about 7 million dollars of damages and it was estimated that the park would not reopen for several months. Margaret leveraged NPS staff and volunteers to open the park in just a few weeks to support the local communities with recreation and tourism. The TV series "Rock the Park" joined the recovery efforts.
Working with park staff and several park partners, Margaret launched a messaging campaign, Keep Biscayne Beautiful, to raise awareness about Biscayne Bay and unite actions of individuals, organizations, and agencies to keep Biscayne beautiful. Over 155 tons of marine debris has been removed from the park so far – helping to save coral, sea turtles, dolphins, fish and lobsters!
Margaret and her spouse Melinda, along with their dogs Qynn and Moose, will be heading to Nevada in May.

Q: How to optimize table_cache? I searched Google but couldn't find an exact answer. Some have this value at 10000 or even 20000. Others say that even 1000 is too much for 1gb of RAM. I'm Confused.
My number of opened_tables is growing. Mysqltuner says I should raise the table_cache value. I tried to raise it to 2K, then 3K, then 4K, then I made it 512 to see what happens. Here is the report:
Currently running supported MySQL version 5.0.67-community-nt-log

| Open_tables   | 127   |
| Opened_tables | 2335  |
+---------------+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

However, opened_tables is still growing. Should I raise it again? Or is it not worth attention?
In addition, some people say that the problem is usually in creating a lot of temp tables. As we can see from the stats, it's not my case. What's the ratio between table_cache and RAM?

A: You are opening less than 1 table per hour.  That is insignificant.
The metric that should have been looked at is Opened_tables / Uptime.  That's "per second".
I suggest that anything under 2/sec is fine.
Back to the title question:
Consider increasing table_open_cache if
Opened_tables / Uptime > 2
Opened_table_definitions / Uptime > 1
Table_open_cache_misses / Uptime > 1
Table_open_cache_overflows / Uptime > 1
Open_tables = table_open_cache

If you can't raise it, check open_files_limit and the OS limit.
If your MySQL is new enough, set table_open_cache_instances to (perhaps) the number of cores you have.

A: The reason you didn't find an answer is that there's not an answer.  The appropriate value for table_cache doesn't correlate to an amount of system memory.
Note that table_cache was renamed table_open_cache in MySQL 5.1.3 and is referred to by the new name in newer versions of MySQL.
As I mentioned in my answer to this similar recent question, among the things that can increment opened_tables, some of them are both harmless and inevitable (such as making backups with mysqldump, which, in most cases, issues some variant of FLUSH TABLES, which increments the counters as each table is reopened after the flush, either for the purpose of backing up the table or by other client threads accessing the recently-flushed tables, which must naturally be re-opened).
What I didn't think to mention in that post is -- and I trust you will find some measure of amusement in this -- that the act of running mysqltuner against your server can, itself, increment the opened_tables counter, thus invalidating its own results.
A commenter on my answer referenced this article, where the author points out that tweaking table_cache worsens performance the more "optimally" you set it.
The bottom line is that this is a good example of a variable that is best left alone unless you have a specific reason to tweak it, and the output of a tuning script doesn't count.  Tuning scripts are often well-intentioned but that is sometimes the best thing that can be said about them:

The problem with correlations that sometimes appear to be true is that people begin to believe they will always be true. Oracle DBAs abandoned ratio-based tuning years ago, and we wish MySQL DBAs would follow their lead.
We wish even more fervently that people wouldn't write "tuning scripts" that codify these dangerous practices and teach them to thousands of people. This leads to our second suggestion of what not to do: don't use tuning scripts! There are several very popular ones that you can find on the Internet. It's probably best to ignore them.
We also suggest that you avoid the word "tuning," which we've used liberally in the past few paragraphs. We favor "configuration" or "optimization" instead (as long as that's what you're actually doing; see Chapter 3). The word "tuning" conjures up images of an undisciplined novice who tweaks the server and sees what happens. We suggested in the previous section that this practice is best left to those who are researching server internals.
"Tuning" your server can be a stunning waste of time.

As a side note, MySQL 5.0 is end of life.  MySQL 5.0.67 was released over 4 years ago and a significant number of bugs were fixed in the 5.0 release series since then.  If I had a 5.0.67 server, and it was working, then the last thing I would want to do would be to change anything about its configuration.

A: It could be because your application might be causing MySQL to create tmp tables if Open_tables value is well below the table_open_cache value. Creating tmp tables also increments Opened_tables counter. I run Mysqltuner script too and notice the table cache hit rate is below 50%. I was wondering why it does not make use of available free cache space, yet the number keeps increasing. The same book that is referenced by Michael explains it.

A: It depends on whether it's Linux or Windows.
For Windows with default connection, the value cannot be greater than (2048-100)/2 = 978, due to open table x 2 + connection needs to be smaller than 2048.
Your Windows event viewer will tell you if you ever mis-configure it.
On linux, the value can be much higher, due to it has much higher file descriptor limit.  You can increase the limit by increasing ulimit.

Home Rock Features Headlines Paul McCartney Humiliated By Bono At Concert
Paul McCartney Humiliated By Bono At Concert
Roy Armstrong
Recently, it was reported in The Daily Mail that English legend and co-founder of The Beatles is Britain and Ireland's richest musician as ranked by The Sunday Times Music Rich List. McCartney's net worth has increased by £45m more than the previous year. This can be attributed to the release of The Beatles: Get Back documentary and his 'Got Back' tour.
McCartney was influenced by U2 frontman Bono for his 2012 hit 'My Valentine' from the album 'Kisses on the Bottom.'
In a recent article from The Telegraph, music critic Neil McCormick collected memories from some of the biggest names in music that have talked about meeting and working with McCartney. Among those, Bono said that McCartney is a more complex person than people think. They once met each other in U2's dressing room before a show, where McCartney wanted to see what the band members were wearing. When McCartney saw that Bono was going to wear a Christian Dior jacket, he told them that he also had a similar jacket. But he had no problems with Bono wearing it, stating that he would wear it later.
"Paul is a much more complex character than people realise. He came into our dressing room before the show to check out what we were wearing.
"He spotted a jacket and said, "Is that a Christian Dior?". Our stylist says, 'Yeah.' He says, 'Stella just bought me one of them. Who's wearing that?' 'Bono.' 'Listen man,' says Paul, 'I've just got my jacket for the show. You can't wear it.' I went, 'Okay.'
"The same guy who obviously contrived the mop top and worked with his manager on those Beatles suits could spot a designer label by the cut of it. Which is why I went out in denim, looking like a mechanic. I was going to posh it up, but Paul ran off with me stage frock! And then he didn't even wear it!"
