From Japan to France, South Africa to the United States, this documentary digs deep into the international fire community revealing the passion that drives these unique artists.
"so good to hear the people i've been stalking on poi websites and youtube tutorials open up about how and why they spin very inspiring!"
"This is something I wanted to see for a while I've always loved to see interviews with some of the more amazing spinners out there and a DVD devoted to these interviews was a great idea. The footage is great and seeing it while hearing each spinner's personal philosophy to learning and creativity is great. Listening to each of these approaches to spinning can open a lot of doors in your creativity and I'm really glad I bought this :)"
"I immensely enjoyed watching this fire video. I'm a poi spinner and was really glad to see such a variation in the types of toys - staff double staff contact poi chucks swords hoops meteor... while not neglecting my fav style of poi! It's edited really well has great music and has quite interesting interviews of each performer. Don't be put off by the first 20/30 mins or so - it's all about Firegroove and their team which tends to drag on with scenes of them walking randomly around festivals and talking about their history. It soon kicks in a higher gear when they get to each performer and when they arrive at Firedrums. Would highly recommend to anyone else."

Q: Editable Combobox Binding I have an editable combobox that I bind the name property from a list of objects to (QBD.Name). What I can't figure out is how to allow editing of those names - I keep getting an object reference error when I try to edit.
I believe I need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged, but I'm not entirely sure how that works.
Here's the binding code:
<ComboBox Name="cmbBxQBDNames" Text="Please Select a QBD" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=QBDs, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=LostFocus}" DisplayMemberPath="QBD.Name" SelectedValuePath="QBD.Name" IsEditable="True" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="auto" MinWidth="25" Margin="45,0,0,0" Foreground="Black"></ComboBox>

Here's the objects I'm binding to:
Public Class QBDs

Private QBDsLocal As New ObservableCollection(Of QBD)

Public Property QBDs As ObservableCollection(Of QBD)
    Get
        Return QBDsLocal
    End Get
    Set(value As ObservableCollection(Of QBD))
        QBDsLocal = value
    End Set
End Property
End Class

Public Class QBD
Private NameLocal As String

Public Property Name As String
    Get
        Return NameLocal
    End Get
    Set(value As String)
        NameLocal = value
    End Set
End Property
End Class

Also, when I select an object from the combobox, how can I have it's name displayed in the combobox? Currently, it remains blank.

A: i think your problem is with DisplayMemberPath.
try with DisplayMemberPath = "Name"
let me know if it fails.

A: I couldn't get why this fails,Please see the Code i've written to test your problem.
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyCollection}" DisplayMemberPath="FName" SelectedValuePath="SName" Height="40" IsEditable="True" />

//My DataContext Goes here
public class Model
    {
        private string sName;

        public string SName
        {
            get { return sName; }
            set { sName = value; }
        }
        private string  fName;

        public string  FName
        {
            get { return fName; }
            set { fName = value; }
        }

    }
    public class ViewModel
    {
        private ObservableCollection<Model> myColl;

        public ObservableCollection<Model> MyCollection
        {
            get { return myColl; }
            set { myColl = value; }
        }

        public ViewModel()
        {
            MyCollection = new ObservableCollection<Model>();
            MyCollection.Add(new Model { FName = "Tony", SName = "Strark" });
            MyCollection.Add(new Model { FName = "Bruce", SName = "Wayne" });
            MyCollection.Add(new Model { FName = "Miranda", SName = "Frost" });

        }

    }

//and I ve set ViewModel as DataContext,
This works just fine for me please check it once,and please forgive me for not giving the code in VB .
Regards,
Kumar

About Tax Stamps
Tax Stamp Trade Body Calls for VETO of Proposed Tobacco Track & Trace Delegated Act
The global trade body for the tax stamp industry, the International Tax Stamp Association, is pressing for the European Parliament to veto a delegated regulation regarding tobacco track and trace systems (key elements of data storage contracts) as it violates international law.
On 9 March 2016, the European Parliament voted against the co-operation agreement with Philip Morris International. On 7 June 2016, over 600 MEPs voted for the ratification of the WHO Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products. It is only logical that the European Parliament should take a consistent line and veto the delegated act on key elements of data storage contracts adopted under Article 15(12) of the Tobacco Products Directive as it violates both the letter and spirit of the Protocol.
In 2012, the World Health Organisation (WHO) adopted a Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products.
This Protocol, ratified by the EU in June 2016, calls for establishing track and trace systems under very strict conditions: the systems must be under the control of States (Art. 8-2), they must not be entrusted or delegated to the tobacco industry (Art. 8-12), and any participation by the tobacco industry in the systems must be limited to the extent strictly necessary (Art. 8-13).
Against the background of this WHO Protocol, Directive 2014/40/EU (the 'Tobacco Products Directive') provides in its Articles 15 and 16 for the provision of a system of track and trace to combat illicit trade in tobacco products, leaving the details to be defined by delegated and implementing acts.
An inception impact assessment followed in July 2016, with the Commission giving the consultancy Everis the task of drawing up the technical specifications.
This led to the presentation of three options: a system operated exclusively by industry, a mixed system partially involving industry, and an independent State-run system. The first two options are contrary to the Protocol.
Yet in May 2017, Everis recommended a mixed system that entrusts key responsibilities to the tobacco industry, which the European Commission's DG SANTE used as the basis to draft two implementing acts and a delegated act as envisaged by the TPD.
During the public consultation in September 2017, several health NGOs (Smoke Free Partnership, Association of European Cancer Leagues, European Network for Smoking Prevention), MEPs and providers of technology to combat illicit tobacco trade (represented notably by the International Tax Stamp Association) criticised the proposals on the grounds of incompatibility with the Protocol and lack of security in the system leading to its inability to substantially reduce illicit tobacco trade.
They highlighted the fact that the system is not under the control of Member States and is not independent of the tobacco industry.
Indeed, not only would industry select most of the technology and system providers, but they would also have effective control over the technical specifications. Only slightly amended, the final versions of the implementing acts were adopted by the Commission despite being contrary to the Protocol.
On 15 December 2017, the Commission adopted the delegated act on key elements of data storage contracts, sending it to the European Parliament for scrutiny. The deadline for issuing a veto (objection) runs until 15 April 2018.
In November 2017, ITSA urged EU Member States not to accept the draft measures on track and trace, security features and data storage, proposed under the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). The Association was concerned that, as the proposals currently stand, there would be no guarantee of independence from the tobacco industry, as well as no guarantee of a completely interoperable system based on open standards.
A spokesperson for ITSA said: "Given the arguments, it has to be unthinkable now to allow the delegated act to enter into force, because it would be in direct violation of the WHO Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products".
"We would like to see MEPs perform their democratic duty and prevent this situation from arising by supporting a veto."
Over 140 billion tobacco and alcohol stamps in the form of securely affixed labels are issued every year by over 150 provincial and national revenue agencies around the world. Such devices, which are used by large and small tobacco producers in 23 EU Member states, can be adapted to swiftly meet the requirements to tackle illicit trade in tobacco products.
ITSA believes, as experience has proven, that only a combination of authentication and track and trace technologies, composed of both physical and digital features and operated by an independent third party, can effectively meet the needs of both the WHO FCTC Protocol and the EU Tobacco Products Directive.

Book and Sword Enmity Record (Old Edition)
Posted by KristianSallinen 1 days ago (https://www.binpallet.com)
Description: In the thirty-fifth chapter, the long-cherished wish was fulfilled through the ancient ceremony. Nasreddin Avanti rode this lame donkey like a big dog. His feet could almost touch the ground. From a distance, the donkey seemed to have six legs. yuan Tuxiao laughed and said, "Beard, what are you riding?"? Is it a mouse or a cat? "Is the mouse so big?" Asked Avanti. "That's probably a big rat," said yuan Tuxiao. As they talked and laughed, they looked westward. Li yuanzhi took Luo Bing's white horse, relaxed the reins, and let it lead the way slowly in front. In the evening, we only walked more than thirty miles. Everyone was worried. Xu Tianhong said to Avanti, "Elder, I'm afraid our chief helmsman is in danger. We want to go first." "All right, all right," said Avanti, "go to the town in front of me and I'll buy a medium donkey. This stupid donkey is useless, but he still thinks he is great. He urged the donkey to catch up and walked side by side with Li yuanzhi. The white horse was half taller than the donkey. Avanti raised his beard and asked Li yuanzhi, "Big girl, why are you unhappy all day?" It suddenly occurred to Li Wanzhi that although this strange swordsman pretended to be demented,plastic pallet crates, he was actually extremely clever. If the Uyghur people had any difficulties, they could ask him for advice and solve them immediately. So he said, "Uncle Beard, what can you do to deal with people who don't know what's good and what's bad?" Avanti said, "I'll cover his head with an iron pot, and you'll use a sword." Li yuanzhi shook her head and said,collapsible pallet box, "No, for example, he is very.." Someone very close. The better you treat him, the more he looks like a donkey. As soon as Avanti pulled his beard, he already knew it in his chest. "I ride a donkey every day," he said with a smile. "I can deal with the stubborn temper of a stupid donkey. But I can't teach you this way casually." Li yuanzhi smiled and said softly, "Uncle Beard, how can I teach you?" "We have to make a bet," said Avanti. "I won't teach you until you win." "Well," said Li Wanzhi with a smile, "let's race again." Avanti "Bet on something else," he said. "You'll lose the race." He took out the donkey's tail and shook it. "Now I won't be fooled by you again." "Try it if you don't believe me," said Li yuanzhi. "Well, plastic pallet suppliers ,collapsible pallet bin," said Avanti, "look what you have." Pointing to a small town in front of him, he said, "Whoever gets to the first room first wins." "Well," said Li yuanzhi, "Uncle Hu, you've lost again!" With a slight pinch of his feet, he lifted the reins, and the white horse flew out of the air like an arrow. Avanti picked up the donkey and ran after it. The white horse was a rare horse. It ran like thunder and lightning. How could he catch up with it? Before he could catch up with it halfway, the white horse had run to the town. Avanti put down the donkey and laughed, "I was taken in by this little girl again.". I know it's a steed, but I thought it was so fast. Tianshan double eagles see Avanti so martial arts, can not help but look at each other pale, a small donkey of dozens of pounds on the back is not strange, strange is his foot race so fast, if not this BMW, ordinary mount really want to give him to catch up. Suddenly I heard a long hiss from the white horse, prancing and running wildly. Li yuanzhi was frightened and could not restrain himself. He had already gone out of the town in a blink of an eye. When they saw the white horse going mad, they were taken aback and scattered to catch up with him. I saw the white horse rushed straight into the desert, ran to the front of several people, Dou ran stopped, Li yuanzhi dismounted and talked to them. Seen from a distance, it was not clear who those people were. Suddenly the white horse galloped back and ran halfway. Xu Tianhong and Yu Yutong recognized that the man on the horse had changed Luo Bing. They were overjoyed and hurried up to meet him. As the two sides approached, they saw Wen Tailai, Wei Chunhua, Zhang Jin, and Xin Yan behind them. The next one, with his white hair rustling and a sword on his back, took Li yuanzhi's hand and asked questions. It turned out to be Lu Feiqing, the elder of the Wudang School. It turned out that the white horse lover was also spiritual. As soon as he knew that Luo Bing was nearby, he ran away desperately. Yu Yutong ran up to Lu Feiqing, knelt down on his knees, and called out, "Martial Uncle!" Crouched on the ground and burst into tears. Lu Feiqing stretched out her hand to pull him up, and her tears rustled down. "After I learned the news of your master's death, I came here overnight. On the way, I met Fourth Master Wen, and they happened to be chasing this traitor.." she cried. You can rest assured that we will be able to avenge your master! Xu Tianhong and Luo Bing persuaded him for a while, and Yu Yutong just stopped crying. When the two sides met, the heroes saw that there was such a master,plastic pallet manufacturer, thinking that this time Zhang Zhaozhong would be captured and dealt with, but Chen Jialuohuo Gutong good or bad luck, can not help but worry. binpallet.com

During the civil rights era, Mississippi was cloaked in the hateful embrace of the Closed Society, historian James Silver's description of the white caste system that enforced segregation and promoted the subservient treatment of blacks. Surprisingly, challenges from Mississippi's college basketball courts brought into question the validity of the Closed Society and its unwritten law, a gentleman's agreement that prevented college teams in the Magnolia State from playing against integrated foes. Mississippi State University was at the forefront of the battle for equality in the state with the school's successful college basketball program. From 1959 through 1963, the Maroons won four Southeastern Conference basketball championships and created a championship dynasty in the South's preeminent college athletic conference. However, in all four title-winning seasons, the press feverishly debated the merits of an NCAA appearance for the Maroons, culminating in Mississippi State University's participation in the integrated 1963 National Collegiate Athletic Association's National Championship basketball tournament. Full Court Press examines news articles, editorials, and columns published in Mississippi's newspapers during the eight-year existence of the gentleman's agreement, the challenges posed by Mississippi State University, and the subsequent integration of college basketball within the state. While the majority of reporters opposed any effort to integrate athletics, a segment of sports journalists, led by the charismatic Jimmie McDowell of the Jackson State Times, emerged as bold and progressive advocates for equality. Full Court Press highlights an ideological metamorphosis within the press during the Civil Rights Movement, slowly transforming from an organ that minimized the rights of blacks to an industry that weighted the plight of blacks on equal footing with their white brethren.
The Performance of Listening in Postcolonial Francophone Culture argues That globalized media has allowed for efficient transmission of transnational culture, and in turn, our everyday experiences are informed by sounds ranging from voices, to music, to advertising, to bombs, and beyond. In considering cultural works from French-speaking North Africa and the Middle East all published or released in France from 1962-2011, Solheim's study of listening across cultural genres will be of interest to any scholar or lay person interested in contemporary postcolonial France. This book is also a primer to contemporary Francophone culture from North Africa and the Middle East. Some of the French-speaking world's most renowned and adored artists are the subject of this study, including preeminent Algerian feminist novelist, filmmaker and historian Assia Djebar (1936-2015), the first writer of the Maghreb to become part of the Académie Française; celebrated Iranian graphic novelist and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, Chicken with Plums); the lauded Lebanese-Québecois playwright and dramaturge Wajdi Mouawad (Littorial, Incendies), and Lebanese comic artist and avant jazz trumpeter Mazen Kerbaj, whose improvisation with Israeli fighter jets during the 2006 Israeli War, "Starry Night," catapulted him to global recognition. An interdisciplinary study of contemporary Francophone cultures, this book will be of interest to scholars and students in literary studies, performance studies, gender studies, anthropology, history, and ethnomusicology.
In Playing to the Crowd, Nancy K. Baym examines the shift toward more personal connections with audiences, offering an entirely new approach to media cultures and industries as she does. The book argues that workers in many fields are under increased pressure get online and connect with others to further their careers, a trend that musicians have long led. Using a dialectical framework, the book draws on in depth-interviews with a range of professional musicians and other qualitative methods to show how the rise of digital communication platforms transformed artist-fan relationships into something that can feel personal. Part I explores music as a means of communication and as a commodity, drawing out the tension between its social and commercial values. Part II looks at audiences, showing how they developed fandoms in the 20th century, how those fandoms came online, and the tension between participation and control musicians experience when they encounter online audiences. Part III looks at relationships, examining how, in contrast to the concert hall environment in which musicians and audiences may one have met, social media create a new potential and pressure for everyday, intimate relating and how musicians manage the tensions between closeness and distance this creates. Ultimately, the book argues that the relational labor musicians do is a significant mode of work, one which requires resources, skills, and strategies we must all understand.

French was born in Millaa Millaa, Queensland, and his long career lasted from the 1960s to the early 1980s. He won the 1962 Australian GT Championship driving a Centaur-Waggott and in 1969 French paired with Allan Moffat to win the Sandown Three Hour race in a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase I. French was well known multi-franchise car dealer selling BMC vehicles, Alfa Romeo, Renault, Peugeot and Subaru in Brisbane. Many of the marques he sold featured prominently in his professional racing career.

Nationally however he is best remembered as Dick Johnson's co-driver to win the crash-shortened 1981 Bathurst 1000 (French was driving the #17 Ford XD Falcon when the race was stopped, but wasn't one of the cars in the accident). He regularly drove the works Ford Falcon GTHO's alongside Allan Moffat, and also drove Moffat's and Ian Geoghegan's Improved Production Ford Falcon GTHOs in the Australian Touring Car Championship rounds when Moffat and Geoghegan were driving their Mustangs.

Google-owned Boston Dynamics is showing how its latest Atlas robot can hold up to some pretty harsh testing, making us wonder if its creators have ever watched any sci-fi at all.
Google-owned Boston Dynamics on Tuesday released a video of its next-generation Atlas humanoid robot that's more than just a demonstration of a remarkably resilient, agile and adaptable robot. It's also a perfect bit of propaganda for a future robot uprising that's suddenly feeling a little more imminent.
In the video, the robot opens doors, keeps its balance while breaking through a crust of deep snow and puts 10-pound (4.5 kilogram) boxes on shelves. This is all fine and good, but 90 seconds into the video, the robot's human makers start abusing it with a hockey stick and shoving it in the back so it falls flat on its face.
Of course, this is all meant to show how easily the Atlas can adapt and recover from such obstacles in the real world. And if the recent grim end to a real-world road trip undertaken by a hitchhiking robot has taught us anything, it's that robots in the 21st century better be able to watch their own backs.
Maybe I've just watched a little too much sci-fi (I definitely have), but if there ever is a robot rebellion, surely this video will be used to indict the human race by demonstrating how we acted like jerks toward the artificial underclass from the very beginning.
I'm totally going to have nightmares about the crazy ninja move the Atlas does to push itself back upright after being shoved on its face.
To make the video all the more ominous, it ends with the Atlas opening the door on its own and walking outside to go, I don't know, buy a Blu-ray copy of "Ex Machina" or hit the Google offices and download all of humanity's emails or who knows what.
Elon Musk once warned that Skynet could only be a few years off, and Google is looking increasingly like Skynet. But in the meantime...cool robot, guys! Maybe you could at least give it a hug after the next time you shove it to the ground?

German Bestelmeyer ( à Nuremberg –  à Bad Wiessee) est un architecte allemand, maître de conférences d'université et propagandiste de l'architecture nazie.

Sa vie
De 1893 à 1897 Bestelmeyer étudie l'architecture à l'université technique de Munich, à laquelle Paul Troost fait aussi partie, où il est étudiant de Friedrich von Thiersch et où il suit l'enseignement de Theodor Fischer. Puis il est élève à l'académie des Beaux-Arts de Vienne où il reçoit l'enseignement de Friedrich von Schmidt. En 1910 il travaille en tant que professeur à l'université technique de Dresde, succédant à Fritz Schumacher. En 1911 Bestelmeyer prend la succession du poste de Paul Wallot en tant que professeur à l'académie des arts de Dresde et en 1915 à l'académie des Arts de Berlin, à la suite de . En 1919 il devient alors professeur à l'université technique de Berlin. À partir de 1922 il enseigne à l'université de technique de Munich, succédant à Friedrich von Thiersch. De 1924 à 1942 il est le président de l'académie bavaroise des arts plastiques de Munich. Bestelmeyer fait partie du Deutscher Werkbund et du Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur. En 1933 il entre au NSDAP.

En s'alliant en 1928 avec Schultze-Naumburg, Schmittehenner et d'autres encore pour former le Block, un groupe d'architectes déterminés à combattre les expériences artistiques du Bauhaus, il se fait apprécier par le régime en place la décennie suivante. Durant le Troisième Reich une simple opposition au Bauhaus est suffisante à pratiquement n'importe quel architecte pour gagner l'approbation officielle du régime ; c'est donc le cas pour Bestelmeyer. Il est loué par Paul Schultze-Naumburg pour une conférence donnée en 1931, car lors de celle-ci il se place comme défenseur des styles traditionnels. En 1934 il devient le chef de l'Académie d'Art de Munich pour laquelle il engage Alexander von Senger, opposant passionné de l'architecture bolchévique. Par la suite Bestelmeyer dessine le bâtiment des bureaux de la Luftwaffe sur Prinzregentenstraße à Munich. Ce bâtiment traditionnel et ses autres travaux sont particulièrement remarqués et appréciés vers la fin des années 1930.

Un article qu'il écrit en 1934 tire l'essence de ses idées et accueille sûrement l'approbation des nazis. Admirant les critiques de Senger envers Le Corbusier, il trouve que l'architecture des années 1920 est pétrifiée dans une voie uniquement technologique, produisant une architecture sans âme. Le toit plat, déclara-t-il, n'est simplement pas adapté au climat allemand.

GCTOC Act: Criminal Proceedings
Above: The Godhra train carnage was the basis for the original Bill introduced by the Modi government which was rejected by three presidents earlier
Opposition parties and human rights activists are up in arms over the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Bill, which they term draconian and open to misuse for political gains
By RK Mishra in Ahmedabad
Does Prime Minister Narendra Modi remote control his home state of Gujarat? Three consecutive presidents, the last one during Modi's rule at the centre, had rejected the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GCTOC) Bill. The fourth president, Ram Nath Kovind, installed by the Modi government, finally gave the nod to the controversial Bill on November 7.
The three earlier presidents—APJ Abdul Kalam, Pratibha Patil and Pranab Mukherjee—had sent the Bill back to the state government. That it was a Modi initiative was evident when Gujarat Minister of State for Home Pradipsinh Jadeja declared: "The dream of Prime Minister Modi has finally been fulfilled today."
According to Jadeja, the provisions of the Bill will be crucial in dealing with terrorism and organised crime such as contract killing, Ponzi schemes, the narcotics trade and extortion rackets.
One of the key features of the Bill is that intercepted telephonic conversations will now be considered legitimate evidence. Ironically, the very points the minister was gloating over were precisely those that were red-flagged by the three distinguished First Citizens of the country.
The Congress, as well as civil society organisations, have been up in arms against the presidential assent to the legislation. "Such draconian powers in the hands of a government which has scant regard for human rights or individual privacy are bound to be misused. There are enough provisions in the existing laws to deal with the offences cited by the minister. The legislation is draconian and will give the government not only a means to intimidate minority communities, as was seen during the POTA era, but also a means to suppress all dissenting voices, opposition mass movements, effectively crushing the people's voice against the government's anti-people policies," said a spokesperson of the Gujarat Congress.
Gujarat-based environmental activist Rohit Prajapati added: "It will open the gates to state-sponsored terrorism. POTA, in its short life of over two years, was the legal means to register 287 cases in Gujarat—all against Muslims, barring one case."
He also cited the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) as an example of misuse against minorities. TADA was an anti-terrorism law which was in force between 1985 and 1995 in the backdrop of the Punjab insurgency and was applicable nationwide. The Act, which came under fire from political parties as well as human rights organisations due to mounting allegations of abuse against minorities, was allowed to lapse in May 1995 during the tenure of the PV Narasimha Rao government.
The Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), 2002, was passed by Parliament with the objective of strengthening anti-terrorism operations, in response to the attack on the Kashmir Assembly in Srinagar and Parliament in 2001. It was repealed by the Manmohan Singh government in 2004.
A year after Narendra Modi took charge as chief minister of Gujarat in 2001, the Godhra train carnage in which 59 people perished, triggered statewide communal riots. Over a 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, died in the communal riots that followed. The GCTOC Bill first came up post-2002 because the weapon of choice, POTA, enacted by the NDA government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was repealed by the UPA-led Manmohan Singh government immediately after coming to power in 2004. POTA had replaced TADA. The Bill was drawn up along the lines of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act. Sent to the president for assent, it was returned by the then president, Dr Abdul Kalam, who wanted certain controversial clauses deleted. Particularly, objections were raised to the clause on interception of communication.
In 2008, the Bill was again passed by the state assembly after removing the clause but retaining that making confessions before police was admissible evidence. In 2008, President Pratibha Patil returned the Bill. In 2009, Modi again passed the Bill, ignoring the suggestions made by the president, and sent it back. Though Modi relinquished charge as chief minister of Gujarat on May 22, 2014, to take over as prime minister, Gujarat continues to remain his closely guarded fiefdom.
This explains why the twice-rejected Bill was again tabled on the last day of the budget session in the Gujarat Assembly on March 31, 2015, in a new form called the Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Bill, 2015, and passed, overriding the protests of the opposition Congress.
The then minister of state for home, Rajnikant Patel, strongly built a case for GCTOC on the grounds that Gujarat shares a border with Pakistan which sponsors terrorism and such legislation is required for the safety and security of the people of the state. "Criminal coteries are known to make common cause with terrorist elements and the two together pose a threat which needs to be curbed forthwith and therefore the need to arm the state with a stringent law like the one brought forward by the state government," he had said on the floor of the House.
The Anandiben Patel government had taken the stand that "Maharashtra has its Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), as do Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, but the BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan were being denied Presidential Assent" for implementing such a bill.
The Congress as well as NGOs had opposed the legislation. The Gujarat Jan Andolan (GJA), an umbrella grouping of NGOs and several human rights groups, petitioned the president to reject the Bill once again and warned of a statewide agitation.
Rajesh Mankad of the Jan Sangharsh Manch termed the Bill a "black law" while DN Rath of the Movement for Secular Democracy (MSD) said that farmers agitating against land acquisition may well become the first victims of this atrocious Bill, if it becomes law. They pointed to the tainted record of the Gujarat police with its string of fake encounters and that existing laws have the capacity to deal with all manner of crime and criminals provided they are used properly.
The opposition Congress in the state and at the centre as well as the JD(U) and the CPI(M) went on record, urging President Pranab Mukherjee not to give his assent to the Gujarat anti-terror law.
The 2015 Bill passed by the assembly had armed the police with unbridled powers to tap personal phones without permission and detain people without hindrance.
The Bill, which has a provision for the death penalty and a fine of Rs 10 lakh, allows for phone intercepts and their admissibility as evidence in courts. That applies to confessions extracted by the police.
Most important, it upturns the law, putting the onus of proving one's innocence on the accused. "The Special Courts shall presume, unless the contrary is proved, that the accused has committed such an offence," the Bill states.
The Statement of Objects and Reasons says: "It was considered necessary to enact a special law with stringent provisions, including the power to intercept wire, electronic or oral communication. Person in custody under this Act cannot be released on bail unless the public prosecutor has been given an opportunity to oppose it, and a special court is satisfied there are reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty and will not commit any offence while on bail."
Shaktisinh Gohil, AICC spokesperson, and former leader of the Congress said that the bill was first rejected by the president at a time when the BJP was in power at the centre. NCP leader Shankersinh Vaghela said: "It is not for the benefit of the people but for those who are in power."
The government, however, seeks to defend the clause that provides for 180 days' time for filing of a charge sheet under the Act as necessary because sensitive cases require enhanced investigation time.
The new law states that any act intended to disrupt law and order, public order or endanger the unity, integrity and security of the state or to spread terror in the minds of sections of people will fall into the category of terrorism.
The law deals with terrorism and organised crime such as contract killing, Ponzi schemes, the narcotics trade, extortion rackets, cybercrime, land-grabbing and human trafficking. According to the ministry, the new law has a provision that allows life imprisonment for cases involving the crimes listed above. Additionally, if a death occurs in these crimes, capital punishment could apply. Besides this, it provides immunity to the state government from legal action.
Clause 25 of the Bill states: "No suit, prosecution or other legal proceedings shall lie against the state government for anything which is in good faith done or intended to be done in pursuance of this Act."
A retired senior bureaucrat of the Gujarat government had the last word when he said that Clause 16, which makes a confession before a police officer admissible in a court trial, is nothing more than "legitimising of torture at the hands of the police".

Q: Should a class constructor initialize default properties with null or undefined When predefining class properties in a constructor is it more appropriate to initialize the property with null or undefined?
class PostViewer {
    constructor() {
        this.frontend = true
        this.editor = undefined // or should use `null`?
        this.key = undefined // or should use `null`?
        this.container = undefined // or should use `null`?
    }
}

A: I would recommend not setting them at all, or if you must, use null.
The reason:
Setting them to undefined is (almost) indistinguishable from not setting them at all. The only difference being that using the in operator (and related functions, such as hasOwnProperty) would return true if those fields are explicitly set to undefined.
So it would be better to use null so that both types of common existence checks: "foo" in bar and bar.foo !== undefined both return the same value (either they're both true, or both false).

A: By default the javascript assigns undefined to its variables. But null is a type in java on the other hand undefined is premitive value. So that depends on the use, what it should be. But if you compare them

undefined == null

it will return true. But

var somevar;

and

var somevar=undefined;

are also same in most cases.

North-east fitness centre shortlisted for national award
By Joshua King
Fraserburgh Fitness Centre
A north-east gym has been shortlisted for a top industry award.
Fraserburgh Fitness Centre is in the running for the lifetime achievement title at the National Fitness Awards, an annual event which recognises the best facilities in the country.
The gym is on a shortlist of only seven, and the legendary British boxing world champion Ricky Hatton will present the awards.
A final round of judging is now underway and gym boss Albert Ross expects the adjudicators to pay his centre a visit soon.
Last night Mr Ross said the success of the fitness centre is down to the many volunteers who give up their time to ensure Fraserburgh's gets the best in sporting activities.
"It has been very rewarding personally for me to see our members enjoying the great facility we have built over the past twelve years," he said.
"Development still continues in the shape of the new three squash court development project which is well on the way to fruition, this latest phase will bring squash back to Fraserburgh and will catapult Fraserburgh forward as a centre of excellence for squash in the north-east."
The awards ceremony at The Athena in Leicester on Friday, December 2.


Stapelia grandiflora is a an awesome succulent. It looks very much like a cactus without the spines. Rather it is covered in a light velvety fuzz. Over time grandiflora will turn into a clump of fuzzy pickles. In late summer stunning large 6" wide blooms will open. When in full bloom these carrion flowers will attract flies.


Pass a secret letter between those that live and work in the Palace in an attempt to get it as close to the Princess as possible! A simple yet thrilling game of bluff and chance.
The deck is formed of eight characters each with a value from one to eight and there are specific numbers of each character in the deck (five guards, two diplomats, etc). Each player is dealt one card and the rest placed in the centre face down. On a player's turn they pick a card, then play one face up. This not only shows the team which of the characters are no longer in play but allows the player to use the character's ability. These abilities can allow you to peek at another player's hand, force a player to discard and re-draw cards or even compare hands with another player with the player holding the lowest rated card being knocked out of the round. Play continues with each player trying to work out where the highest rated card has ended up. Once the deck is empty the round ends and those left playing compare their hands, the person with the highest rated card wins.
Love Letter uses much of the same strategies as poker. It not only requires you to keep an eye on which cards are no longer in play but also bluffing others to play effects that will benefit you. Since the primary game mechanic of "pick one play one" is so simple this game is all about what is happening above the table.
The deck is relatively small but the cards robust and the artwork beautiful. The cards come in a cloth bag and the wooden cubes, used to denote who has one a round, are simple but effective. A handy reference card that lists all of the characters, their ratings, the number of them in the deck and their abilities helps play move even quicker. It is a minimal game, and intentionally so, but what you get is well put together. Multiple different versions are available including licensed versions such as Batman and The Hobbit.
I play this most often with a less experienced gamer, a teenager and a nine-year old giving you some indication of its accessibility. It's like poker for beginners but with enough strategic complexity to engage regular gamers. It really is a great introductory game.
Love Letter is a great game and at only £10 it's a great addition to a collection even if the most complex games you play are Uno and Monopoly.

Never use your bare hands in your garbage disposal to fix a problem. Even an un-powered garbage disposal is turned off they can be dangerous. You can search online to find the diagram for the disposal that you have. Use a drain strainer to prevent debris that might clog the pipes from sliding down your drain and causing clogs. The ones in the bathroom can be cleaned out on a regular basis. Schedule all the plumbing work simultaneously. You might be tempted to contact a plumber every time you face a small problem, but if you wait and hire the plumber for a single visit, you can save up money for repairs. Most plumbers charge an hourly fee that can be minimized if there is only one trip is cheaper than calling them more than once. Pour equal parts baking soda followed by vinegar down your bathtub drain every month. Plug up the drain and allow the chemical reaction takes place. After waiting a few minutes,just flush the drain out with water that has reached a boiling point. More information about Sewer Drain Repair Dayton Tx.
Always look at plumber reviews, such as family and friends. Check to see if you have toilet regularly for leaks. An easy way to check for this is to add a couple drops of food coloring in the toilet tank. If you see the coloring after a few seconds, this means your toilet is leaking. Check your faucets outside for drips before the first winter arrives. If water is continually dripping, you will have to repair it before the temperature drops to freezing. Whatever material your pipes are built from, freezing water causes pressure that can make them crack. Even a very small crack can cause significant water damage or flood your home. You should verify that they hold a contractor's license is valid and if any bad feedback filed against them. They need to have a valid license, and if not then you should look elsewhere. Plumbing requires more skill then just routing water from point A to point B.

This will go a long way towards ensuring that the plumber does not take advantage of you aren't ripped off.
Check any loose tiles for warning signs of damage evidence.
This is something that needs to be taken care of by water softener, which you can buy at a store, or you can have someone come to your home and fix it.

Corin Sworn – Silent Sticks – Collezione Maramotti
andrewsmaldone / 14 October 2015
Glasgow based artist Corin Sworn's installation Silent Sticks, first exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery, London 20 May – 19 July 2015, has recently been reinstalled at the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia. The exhibition was the result of research the artist did in Rome, Naples and Venice after winning the fifth edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women 2013-2015. Sworn was in attendance at the private view and discussed her research while in Italy, but also touched on some of the differences between installing the stage set composed of sculptures, props, costumes, film and sound in the two different spaces. The artist, speaking calmly and eloquently to a rather loud crowd, notably described the Maramotti space as being more "timeless" than the Whitechapel Gallery primarily due to lighting that doesn't create strong shadows on the floor – a fact that signifies the "removal of time" as shadows "make us think of time".
Sworn, however, did invite her audience to contemplate a different time in history through work that was inspired by The Commedia dell'Arte, which has its origins in the 16th century. To her credit she allowed the theme to be a starting point that ended up having only certain focused traces of her chosen subject. In other words, she allowed her research of the Commedia dell'Arte "to enliven curiosity" and not simply as a means to re-present the past in the present. Those traces of the Commedia dell'arte, in any case, could be seen in two dancer's costumes (in two projected films) as well as in various props and sculptures that approached the aesthetic feeling of Renaissance goods and clothing. But then again such props, sculptures and costumes simultaneously have a Constructivist aesthetic – the three-dimensional sculpture/stands in particular and the geometric shapes with their flat coloring reinforce this association. What is also memorable throughout the installation is the way Sworn plays with texture. There is a "rug" draped across one particular stand that catches the eye because it is so intricately carved and colored on what looks like a piece of discarded yellow foam padding. While throughout the installation there are materials of poor quality mixed in with expertly crafted and designed pieces of clothing made in collaboration with the artist and Max Mara's fashion house tailors.
Sworn's work, though overall very harmonious in its geometry, is rhythmically broken up by curious elements like stuffed animals and a rat like form as well as by sound and film. The narrative sound element (appropriated from the tale of sixteenth century imposter Martin Guerre) is positioned in a way that is purposefully difficult to follow as sound moves between two speakers placed opposite one another. It's comprehensible as language yet very abstract as narrative, and coincides with certain moments in films projected onto screens that depict costumed dancers in various flexible or relaxed poses. This strategy of transposition and re-presentation of the Commedia dell'Arte and the tale of Martin Guerre into Sworn's artistic language ultimately succeeds in its intent to engage one in contemplating a key aspect of her research pertaining to "the things that remain".

Alumni News | Hurtado-Torres Wins Acclaim for Book on Chile's Cold War
Dr. Sebastián Hurtado-Torres
Foreign Affairs, published by the Council on Foreign Relations and one of the world's leading forums for the discussion of international relations, announced Ohio University alumnus Dr. Sebastián Hurtado-Torres's The Gathering Storm: Eduardo Frei's Revolution in Liberty and Chile's Cold War as one of its Best Books of 2020.
"This is an exceedingly rare accomplishment that attests to the depth of archival research, cogency of analysis, and engaging style that Dr. Hurtado-Torres deployed for his dissertation, which he then turned into this impactful book," says Dr. Ingo Trauschweizer, Professor and Director of the Contemporary History Institute.
Hurtado-Torres earned a Ph.D. in History in 2016 from the College of Arts & Sciences, along with a Contemporary History Certificate.
He teaches at the Instituto de Historia USS, Universidad San Sebastian in Santiago de Chile.
He will talk about his book and the continued importance of diplomatic history in a CHI webinar on Thursday, Jan. 28. Look for an announcement of the event and on how to join the audience here on Forum later in January or email CHI director Ingo Trauschweizer (trauschw@ohio.edu) for particulars.

Q: Offset clear adjacent cells option I did a post yesterday asking how to clear adjacent dropdown lists when parent list changes. I was able to find a post, adjust my code, and get it to work.
Now the issue I'm facing is that I need it to be optional:

*

*If the column 1 changes, then clear offset column B & C cells.

*If the change is selected in column 2, then only clear offset column C cell.

Below is my code so far - it works when making the change in column A, but I need it be optional if I only make the change in column B, and clear the adjacent cell in column C.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Target.Count < 1 Then Exit Sub   'screen out multi-cell changes
    If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub 'col2 only
    If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation

    On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
    Target.Offset(0, 2).Value = ""
    Target.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
    Target.Offset(0, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Exit Sub

haveError:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
    Dim vt
    On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
    vt = cell.Validation.Type
    On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
    CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)
End Function

A: You can use a loop:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim i As Long
    If Target.CountLarge <> 1 Then Exit Sub  'screen out multi-cell changes

    If Target.Column > 2 Then Exit Sub 'col 1/2

    If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation

    On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    'loop to max column to be cleared
    For i = Target.Column + 1 To 3
        With Target.EntireRow.Cells(i)
            .Value = ""
            .Interior.ColorIndex = 44
        End With
    Next i
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Exit Sub

haveError:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
    Dim vt
    On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
    vt = cell.Validation.Type
    On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
    CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)

Q: Adding custom status page to Jenkins instance I want to use the REST API that comes with Jenkins to generate a status page which shows all my projects, the environments they're currently deployed to, latest build versions etc.
Jenkins provides a nice REST API to expose this info however consuming the service is limited by cross domain restrictions. I have looked briefly at creating a CORS filter for my Jenkins instance but its overkill for what I'm trying to achieve.
Can someone tell me if its possible to modify my Jenkins WAR (instance) and add some HTML which i can then modify to call the RESTful endpoints? Ideally i want something whereby i can simply navigate to http://myjenkins/project-status and see the required information.

A: I assume your status page has some Javascript executing XMLHttpRequests. You could drop your status page files into $JENKINS_HOME/userContent directory on the master. This way they are served by Jenkins and should be able to access Jenkins REST APIs.

From an early age, Stephen Brown—better known to fans as Jackson hip-hop artist 5th Child—found musical inspiration in a plethora of old-school artists, including Curtis Mayfield and Michael Jackson, while listening to his father's record collection. These influences greatly affected Brown's musical style, which he describes as soulful and purposeful. Those two elements come to the forefront on his seventh full-length album, "My Conversations with God," which he released Saturday, Oct. 17.
For about three years, Brown took a break from writing to focus on production for artists such as Slimm Pusha and Dee-1. He also used that time to develop the younger talent of Jackson's hip-hop scene with New Jacks—a showcase and platform to provide mentoring and performance opportunities for new local rappers. This hiatus allowed Brown to sharpen his creative mind and write from a happier headspace when he began working on material for "My Conversations with God."
"My last albums were a lot heavier than this one," he says. "This one is just good music. The content is still there, but the approach is different. I tried to make this album more fun. You don't necessarily have to like the lyrics and the beats, but you will enjoy one of the two."
Brown produced nine of the 12 tracks on the album, which centers on God's divine voice, spoken through different people in his life. Brown credits his faith and spiritually as the inspiration to begin writing the record, saying that both are important for his personal journey and resonate throughout "My Conversations with God."
He wrote the first single of the album, "What You Need," in a satire-like form to shed light on underlying issues and hypocrisies—everything from greed to misinterpretations of Jackson's youth in the media—that people's lack of knowledge has caused.Throughout the track, he leads his audience through his thoughts on those subjects while he paints a vivid picture of his gripes with society.
"What you need?" Brown asks in the song. "A little coke, little pills, little weed? You ain't got it? Let me bring you up to speed. What you need? White flight, knife fights, poverty and greed? You ain't got it? Let me bring you up to speed."
Producer Y. Valentine and director Theca Jones worked with Brown on the accompanying video for "What You Need," which is currently streaming on YouTube. Brown says the idea of the video, which is shot from a drug dealer's viewpoint, is to not only evoke the question, "What is it that we need as a community?" but also to awaken those who struggle with those problems. He hopes that the song will help some listeners acknowledge the social issues surrounding them, even if they don't have the solution yet.
Brown says he often reaches brief points in which he's overly critical of himself and the pace of his career—"Gemini moments," he calls them—but his faith and his fans are a constant source of support.
"I know that sometimes I can think way too much," he says, "but it's encouraging to hear people say, 'Man, don't stop. You cannot stop.'"
5th Child's "My Conversations with God" is available at Offbeat or on iTunes. Local stores interested in stocking the album can email 5thchildmusic@gmail.com. For more information, visit 5thchildmusic.com and follow him on Instagram and Twitter.

Q: ol3 ext-ol how can make cluster for different layers I'm using ol3/ol4 with ol-ext
I create two layer:
clusterSource = new ol.source.Cluster({

});
// Animated cluster layer
clusterLayer = new ol.layer.AnimatedCluster({

    featureStyle: featureStyle,
    selectCluster: false,   // disable cluster selection
});

After load the layers, only persist the Features in the first layer, in the second layer the Features is removed (clear) after zoom changing... why?
please, help

Rylan and Matt Go Live From The X Factor Studio This Weekend.
The Xtra Factor Live returns to ITV2 this year with a brand new format and a brand new presenting duo.
Radio 1 DJ and TV host Matt Edmondson and X Factor alumni and TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal are at the helm this year as The Xtra Factor Live goes live from the very first audition show, giving fans the chance to react to each night's episode from the very start of the series.
Matt and Rylan will be joined live in the studio by contestants who have appeared on the main show, getting the lowdown on their audition and getting to know more about them. There will also be live music and a panel of celebrity guests on hand to give their uncensored thoughts and reactions to the night's auditions
How have you been getting on with Simon?
Rylan:He wasn't on the show my year, it was Gary Barlow. Simon is the big boss, he calls all the shots and makes all the decisions but Simon's the one person I have never worked with. But, I interviewed him and the previous judges for the last series, before we did the interview he asked me how I had found the first episode. I asked if he wanted me to be honest, which he did, so I said, 'I'm jealous, I wanted to be doing it myself'. He said, 'I've got respect for you saying that because at least I know you're honest', so we've got on from then. He shook my hand at the Six Chair Challenge just as he was going on stage and said, 'Welcome home.' My knees went funny!
Matt: I don't find him scary at all, he's like the most weirdly magnetic person I have ever met. He kind of sits in almost like a zen like state in the judges' room. He's doing the telly stuff but at the same time juggling a million other businesses and projects, but he stays so calm. I'm fascinated by him. I feel like I'm David Attenborough and I've been given access to a very rare creature in the world. He's an extraordinary character. When he talks to you it does feel like you are his world, you know it's a Jedi mind trick but you don't know how he does it. I don't know what the secret is but you can't stop the feeling, it's like a sun beam that comes over you.
He likes people being naughty though... Matt: Well, this is the thing. I have it with every authority figure I come across in my life, my gut instinct is to take the mickey out of them. I can't fight that, so that's what I have been doing with Simon. I've got so many questions about his life, which I am fascinated by. Whenever we get a few spare minutes I'm always like, 'Quickly, tell me about your ridiculous life!' It's so fascinating. He's my favourite judge to go and bother.
What have you found out about him? Matt: He really likes very pedestrian food, beige food. You think that all famous and rich people only eat at swanky restaurants, but he's all about the Hula Hoops, Colin the Caterpillar cake. His tastes are very corner shop, which is something about him that I like immensely. He's always got a box of wine gums on the go and things like that.
He loves his cars, did you ever ask him about that?
Matt: Well, I asked him whether he would ever like to go in a self-driving car because I'm obsessed with the idea because I hate driving. He was like, 'Matt, I have no interest in self-driving cars', I was like, 'Why? Imagine getting into a car and you don't have to drive it'. And he replied, 'I've got a driver!'. So let's face it, he's already got the self-driving car.
Any questions out of bounds for Simon? Matt: No not yet! I look so innocent and have such a cheeky naivety about me that I have found I can ask stuff which is probably not OK to ask and get away with it. So far he's been fine. I'd like to say he's quite into it. Whenever we go and have our chats he always lets it run on longer than we've been permitted. The one thing he's not a fan of is people playing by the rules, he likes a bit of edge and personality. With me and Rylan doing this show, he's got two very free spirits. If we've got opinions on stu then we're not going to toe the party line, we will have opinions. The last thing we want to be is just a mouth piece for the show. We are there to represent the fans of the show at home.
Rylan: We will definitely shout him down and put him in his place if we want to. We'll take on Simon! It's all about what people are saying at home. The way we want it to be is that we are fans before presenters, that's what I have done with every job. If someone at home is saying they think Simon's wrong about something and we agree, then we'll pull Simon up on it. I'll call him out on it, and ask him what he has to say for himself. We're not going to sit there like lap dogs agreeing with him.
