CNN's Andrew Stevens manages a smile despite having to board a helicopter after several hours of commercial flight delays -- as a huge typhoon made its way toward the Philippines.
Visibility was low as the helicopter took off from Cebu en route to Tacloban. Stevens' pilot, retired military man Col. Andy Largo, said his biggest worry was that strong winds could snap the rotor blades.
Sensing trouble in dark clouds ahead, Col. Largo lands the plane in a field, hours from Stevens' final destination.
On the move again. After jumping out of the helicopter, locals helped Stevens rustle up a van for the 100 kilometer journey to Tacloban.
Finally there! The coastline in Tacloban is a welcome sight after 31 hours of travel.
Manila to Tacloban, the Philippines (CNN) -- The weather forecasters had warned that Hagupit was one of the most unpredictable storms in memory.
Three of the world's leading weather agencies came up with three different paths for the storm as it slowly, but relentlessly, bore down on the Philippines packing winds in excess of 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph).
For me, that unpredictability turned traveling from Manila to Tacloban from a routine 90-minute flight into a 31-hour slog.
I needed to be there to cover the typhoon's impact on a town traumatized by the impact of Super Typhoon Haiyan last year.
It looked pretty simple at the beginning. Jump on the Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong, head straight for domestic departures, where I would then board a flight to Tacloban -- a flight of little more than an hour.

10:30 a.m. came and went with no sign of a boarding call. I began to meet other journalists waiting for the same flight who were equally at a loss as to what was happening.
We were eventually approached by a Philippines Airlines manager, apologizing profusely. "Technical difficulties" had apparently grounded the aircraft but we were assured there would be another flight at 1.30 p.m.
All other flights to different parts of the Philippines were on schedule, so we were confident about this next take-off time. But as the time approached, no boarding call came. A brief announcement informed us the flight was canceled because of continuing "technical difficulties."
And so it went. Another airlines staff member presented us with new boarding passes for a 3.45 p.m. flight. Fifteen minutes before departure we were sitting patiently on the airport bus waiting to be taken out to the apron and it looked as if we would finally be on our way.
But the bus didn't move. We sat for 30 minutes until another announcement of another delay. We trudged back to the boarding gate, very frustrated. Other routes were being discussed but all ferries had been canceled and the direct flight still looked the best bet.
More than an hour later we learned that all flights were canceled because of the weather conditions in Tacloban. We appeared to be stuck where the story wasn't.
And so to Plan B. A hasty conference call with the Hong Kong news desk and a new plan: Charter a light aircraft.
Initial indications were good. A private operator thought they could get a few of us into Tacloban at first light Saturday. The final decision on weather conditions would be made at 4 a.m. At the appointed time the news came through: Conditions were too dangerous to risk it.
Another call to Hong Kong and we decided that it could be possible to fly to Cebu and take the short hop to Tacloban by helicopter. I boarded my flight at 11 a.m. and was on the island inside the hour to be met by the helicopter crew.
I knew I was in good hands when I met my pilot, retired military man Col. Andy Largo. His flying career included flying four former Philippine presidents around the country, as well as the late Pope John Paul II.
He had already flown two sorties that morning to Tacloban but my anxieties grew as he described the flights. He was forced to touch down early on both journeys because of the conditions -- and they were growing worse by the hour.
The biggest worry, he said, were strong wings that could literally break the rotor blades. If we encountered excessive winds he would reduce the flying speed and edge ahead, waiting for a break in the weather.
I was his only passenger but he took along an engineer to help "just in case." I buckled into the front seat next to Col. Largo and off we went into a murky cloud-filled sky.
It was surprisingly smooth. We flew at between 1,000 and 2,000 feet over a white-capped sea, towards increasingly thick clouds. Our pilot seemed unworried until we got to the tip of Leyte Island and the town of Beybey, which lies at the foot of a range of mountains separating us from Tacloban.
One look at the cloud ahead and he tapped me on the arm and indicated the flight had come to an end. We put down on a playing field and I jumped out.
I was soon surrounded by a group of locals, who managed to rustle up a van. Ten minutes later we on the road driving along a virtually deserted road in heavy rain, towards the mountains and Tacloban.
It took two hours to make the 100 kilometer (62 mile) journey.
At 4 p.m., 31 hours after touching down in Manila, I finally arrived at my destination.

Morgan Chalfant
Jeff Zients is the new White House chief of staff. Not everyone is thrilled.
Sign up for Semafor Principals: An insider's guide to power in D.C. Read it now.
The Biden White House is about to go through its biggest staffing change yet in the coming weeks, as Jeff Zients takes over for Ron Klain as President Biden's chief of staff.
Zients served as Biden's first COVID-19 response coordinator and is a former management consultant. While his resume is different from Klain's — Zients has less government experience and is hardly a serial tweeter — his peers argue he's well suited for the role.
"Jeff is a terrific choice," Andy Slavitt, who worked alongside Zients on the COVID-19 response in 2021, told Semafor. "Trusted by everyone. Very high integrity. Pushes the ball down the field every day. Communicates well across the field. And always gets the team win."
Morgan's view
Zients will enter the role at a difficult moment. The White House is staring down myriad Republican-led investigations in the House, as well as a high-stakes fight over the debt ceiling. He also inherits a special counsel investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents recently discovered in his former office in Washington and private home in Wilmington.
Klain's biggest legacy is the raft of landmark bills passed under Biden, which included trillions in new spending. With Republicans now in charge of the House, the next two years will be much more about implementing that legislation. That might be where Zients' experience comes most in handy: In addition to managing the COVID-19 response under Biden, Zients served in roles at the Office of Management and Budget and National Economic Council under President Obama and helped fix Healthcare.gov.
"Watching him run a project is like watching Lebron. He's so good," one White House official said of Zients' work.
The View From The Left
Klain played a key role as liaison between Biden and progressives and some on the left are worried that his replacement will jeopardize the policy gains they made together.
They're especially livid at Zients' corporate experience, which includes a turn on Facebook's board of directors. The American Prospect, a progressive magazine, ran a story last year alleging that Zients made a lot of money by investing in healthcare companies that engaged in suspect practices.
Jeff Hauser, who runs the Revolving Door Project, warned in a statement that Biden is risking his legacy by tapping Zients as his next chief of staff and that the corporate behavior the administration should target "are the practices that have made Zients rich."
Progressives on Capitol Hill aren't turning a cold shoulder to Zients just yet, though.
"We've appreciated Jeff's collaboration on the COVID response and the American Rescue Plan, which included bold and progressive policies," Rep. Pramila Jaypal, D-Wash., chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told Semafor. "We are hopeful that he will have the same understanding of the need to work closely with progressives, to engage and energize our base and to protect our wins in a divided Congress."

Nine-Year-Old Girl Fires Uzi, Accidentally Kills Instructor
News 8:02 AM PDT, August 27, 2014 - Inside Edition
8:02 AM PDT, August 27, 2014 - Inside Edition
This nine-year-old girl was being taught how to shoot an Uzi submachine gun. What happened next is a tragedy.
She pulled the trigger on the Uzi and accidentally shot her instructor in the head.
The cell phone video, released by police, cuts off just before the fatal shot is fired. The instructor, 39-year-old Charles Vacca, can be heard congratulating the little girl after she first pulls the trigger.
Vacca then switched the gun from single shot mode to machine gun setting. When the gun recoiled, she apparently lost control and at least one bullet hit Vacca in the head. He was killed instantly.
Gun ranges like the one in Las Vegas called Bullets and Burgers have become big tourist business.
The nine-year-old girl was from New Jersey and was vacationing with her parents. The girl has not been identified.
At the Seneca Sporting Range in New York City, John DeLoca showed INSIDE EDITION's Les Trent what the teacher in Las Vegas may have done wrong.
"He let his hand off the gun. The girl's only nine-years-old, maybe 75 pounds. The weapon is so much stronger and it climbed, and this individual, the instructor, paid with his life," siad DeLoca.
Hear More From DeLoca
He said he never would have allowed such a young girl to fire a weapon like that.
"Would you let your nine-year-old daughter, with no safety training?" asked DeLoca.
Trent replied, "Absolutely not."
"Common sense. Just my gut feeling says, wrong to start, wrong in the middle, and wrong in the end," said DeLoca.
All over YouTube, INSIDE EDITION found many videos of children shooting some really powerful guns. Kids shoot Uzi's and even AK 47's. They're so little they sometimes have trouble handling the weaponry. One video shows a girl just two years old.
There are even gun ranges that cater to kids. The Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville, Texas, hosts parties for kids. Birthday cake and ice cream followed a gun safety class and then, off to the range.
In 2011, an eight-year-old boy was killed in the same way as the gun range instructor from Vegas when the gun recoiled and one bullet struck him in the head.
Authorities have said that the little nine-year-old girl will not be charged. There will also be no charges filed against the shooting range.

Q: DAO classes have the same @Qualifier I have the source code of a website.
This website uses spring, and I'am confused about the Injection.
There are some DAO classes, on these DAO with a Qualifier :
@Repository("myDao")
@Qualifier("myTransactionManager")
public class MyCategoryDao {

}

But there is also another bean with the same name of the Qualifier.
And this bean is a JpaTransactionManager.
@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement(mode = AdviceMode.PROXY)
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.my.repository")
public class DatabaseConfig {
    @Primary
    @Bean(name = "myTransactionManager")
    public JpaTransactionManager jpaTransactionManager(
    @Named("myEntityManagerFactory") EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {

    }
}

I don't know why the bean and the DAOs have the same name/Qualifier.
Wouldn't it conflict the others?

A: Spring will check for type first, and if there is any ambiguity, then only it will check for the name specified in @Qualifier. In your case, types of both the beans are different, so that should work fine.

Creating a safe environment for a cat or kittens coming into your home is really important. There are six basic things that we look for when we do a home visit. Please make sure that you are prepared for your new arrival!
If permanent screens aren't already on all windows, you'll need to buy the adjustable screens sold at hardware stores. The adjustable screens MUST be able to remain in your window when the window is shut. Sometimes, a window gate must be removed by your super to allow screen to sit securely in the window when it shuts. Please make sure that even the small bathroom window has a screen. Without screens, it's not a question of "if" the cat or kitten might fall, it's more a question of "when." Many cats and kittens die or are treated for very serious injuries in the city every year from window falls. Please read our full window screen policy here.
Unfortunately, most houseplants can poison your cat or kitten. Most cut flowers, especially lilies, are also poisonous and deadly. Specific information is available online through the ASPCA and other sites. Every plant and fresh flower must be checked.
Especially for kittens, make sure that they can't get trapped behind refrigerators, stoves, radiators, etc. Small kittens have been known to get caught under radiators and, confused about getting out, badly burned or injured from the heat. The best way to block access to hiding places is to cut wide strips of cardboard from a box or buy foam core, cut to the needed size, and tape in place with duct tape. Once cats and kittens are comfortable with their new environment, they're less likely to hide.
Put away valuable and breakable things, especially at first. Cats are curious and will investigate everything. Kittens chase each other and will run across table tops, jump onto shelves, and accidentally knock things over. Better safe than sorry. Also, don't leave your food out and unattended. Any food left out on counters or the table is fair game for cats!
Keep an eye on your cords. Some cats and kittens never touch them but others might decide to chew, which can be dangerous to them and to your things. If they do chew, cheap casing can be purchased to protect the cords. Also, try keeping them out of sight. Bitter Apple Spray is another means of discouraging cats from chewing.
String, rubber bands, dental floss, paper clips, coins, staples, etc. can all be swallowed by kittens and cats. String, floss and ribbon, especially, can get caught in their intestines. Many cats have required surgery to remove swallowed objects. If a string is partially swallowed, don't pull out to remove! Go immediately to an emergency clinic. Pills and medications can be especially dangerous or deadly. Remove any small objects cats or kittens can access.
While cats and kittens are most often, hearty animals, they are susceptible to injury and illness just as humans are. Before we adopt an animal to you, we screen for FeLV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline AIDS), de-worm with strongid, and give initial vaccinations. However, as a rescue organization, it is impossible for us to test for and be aware of every health issue that can develop in your cat or that your cat or kitten may have been exposed to in his or her life before being rescued. Many of the animals we adopt out have been rescued from the street and have survived very difficult circumstances before coming to us. All have been treated for any medical issues that we were aware of when they were rescued and while they were with us.
After you adopt, plan on taking your kitten or cat(s) to your own veterinarian as soon as you can. It is important to establish a relationship with a vet practice early on, even though your cat or kitten is healthy now. We can recommend a vet practice, you can research practices online, or you can ask a friend for a recommendation.
A veterinarian can answer many medical questions for you and will recognize issues of concern that may need attention. Bring your pet's health records with you. Discuss possible signs of illness to watch for in the future.
Some of the early signs of illness to watch for include lack of appetite, poor weight gain, vomiting, swollen or painful abdomen, tiredness, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, wheezing or coughing, pale gum, swollen or red eyes or eye discharge, nasal discharge, and an inability to pass urine or stool. Never ignore signs of illness. Don't try to diagnose issues yourself. There is a lot of anecdotal information online that can lead you down an incorrect path with tragic results. Please consult a professional immediately when you have any health concerns.
Continuing to take you cat or kitten to the vet for an annual visit is a really important thing to do. Preventive care, as with humans, can save you from high cost and heartbreak in the future if your cat develops a condition or illness that would have been recognized by a veterinarian and could have been treated early on.
While we are here to answer questions that come up after you adopt, we are not veterinarians and establishing a rapport and relationship with your vet and vet practice is a very crucial step to take after you adopt.
Congratulations on your new family member(s)! Thank you for helping us to save a life and for bringing happiness into the life of an animal or animals that otherwise would not have had a chance.

Bobby Brown is seen outside during the funeral of his ex-wife Whitney Houston. (Photo: AP Photo/Mel Evans)
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Clapping hands and swaying to gospel hymns in the church where Whitney Houston's powerful voice once wowed her congregation, the biggest names in entertainment sang along with the choir to remember the pop superstar at her hometown funeral Saturday.
"We are here today, hearts broken but yet with God's strength we celebrate the life of Whitney Houston," the Rev. Joe A. Carter told the packed New Hope Baptist Church after the choir behind him sang "The Lord is My Shepherd."
Mourners including singer Jennifer Hudson and Houston's mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, stood, swayed and clapped along in the aisles as gospel singers BeBe Winans and the Rev. Kim Burrell joined with pop stars like Alicia Keys in paying tribute to the 48-year-old pop superstar who first began singing in the Newark church.
"You wait for a voice like that for a lifetime," said music mogul Clive Davis, who shepherded Houston's career for decades.
Others were more mournful; singer Ray J., who spent time with Houston during her last days, broke down crying. His sister, singer Brandy, put her arm around him. Cissy Houston and Houston's daughter, 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina, clutched each other in the front of the row.
Actor Kevin Costner, her co-star in "The Bodyguard" that spawned her greatest hit, remembered a movie star who was uncertain of her own fame, who "still wondered, 'am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Will they like me?'"
"It was the burden that made her great and the part that caused her to stumble in the end," Costner said.
Filmmaker Tyler Perry praised Houston's "grace that kept on carrying her all the way through, the same grace led her all the way to the top of the charts. She sang for presidents."
Stevie Wonder and Oprah Winfrey were among the biggest names gathered to mourn Houston, along with Hudson, Monica, Brandy and Jordin Sparks — representing a generation of big-voiced young singers who grew up emulating her. Houston's voice, a recording of "I Will Always Love You," was to close the funeral.
Houston's mother was helped by two people on either side of her as she walked in and sat with her granddaughter and other family to begin the service. Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown, briefly appeared at her funeral, walking to the casket, touching it and walking out. Security guards said Brown was upset that he would have to sit separately from the people he arrived with, and left. A Brown representative didn't immediately comment.
Mourners fell quiet as three police officers escorted Houston's casket, draped with white roses and purple lilies. White-robed choir members began to fill the pews on the podium. As the band played softly, the choir sang in a hushed voice, "Whitney, Whitney, Whitney."
Close family friend Aretha Franklin, whom Houston lovingly called "Aunt Ree," had been expected to sing at the service, but she was too ill to attend. Franklin said in an email to The Associated Press that she had been up most of the night with leg spasms and sent best wishes to the family. "May God bless and keep them all," she wrote.
A program featuring a picture of Houston looking skyward read "Celebrating the life of Whitney Elizabeth Houston, a child of God." Pictures of Houston as a baby, with her mother and daughter filled the program.
"I never told you that when you were born, the Holy Spirit told me that you would not be with me long," Cissy Houston wrote her daughter in a letter published in the program. "And I thank God for the beautiful flower he allowed me to raise and cherish for 48 years."
"Rest, my baby girl in peace," the letter ends, signed "mommie."
The service marks one week after Houston, one of music's all-time biggest stars, was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel in California. A cause of death has yet to be determined.
To the world, Houston was the pop queen with the perfect voice, the dazzling diva with regal beauty, a troubled superstar suffering from addiction and, finally, another victim of the dark side of fame.
To her family and friends, she was just "Nippy." A nickname given to Houston when she was a child, it stuck with her through adulthood and, later, would become the name of one of her companies. To them, she was a sister, a friend, a daughter, and a mother.
"She always had the edge," Jackson said outside church Saturday. "You can tell when some kids have what we call a special anointing. Aretha had that when she was 14. ... Whitney cultivated that and took it to a very high level."
A few fans gathered Saturday morning hours before the service as close as they could get to the church, some from as far away as Washington, D.C., and Miami. Bobby Brooks said he came from Washington "just to be among the rest of the fans."
"Just to celebrate her life, not just her death," said Brooks, "just to sing and dance with the people that love her."
Others were more entrepreneurial, setting up card tables to sell silk-screened T-shirts with Houston's image and her CDs. But only the invited would get close to the church; streets were closed to the public for blocks in every direction. But their presence was felt around the church, with a huge shrine of heart-shaped balloons and personal messages that covered the street corner around the church entrance.
Houston's death marked the final chapter for the superstar whose fall from grace while shocking was years in the making. Houston had her first No. 1 hit by the time she was 22, followed by a flurry of No. 1 songs and multi-platinum records.
Over her career, she sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone. Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of songs like "Saving All My Love For You," ''I Will Always Love You," ''The Greatest Love of All" and "I'm Every Woman." Her six Grammys were only a fraction of her many awards.
But amid the fame, a turbulent marriage to Brown and her addiction to drugs tarnished her image. She became a woman falling apart in front of the world.
Her last album, "I Look To You," debuted on the top of the charts when it was released in 2009 with strong sales, but didn't have the staying power of her previous records. A tour the next year was doomed by cancellations because of illness and sub-par performances.
Still, a comeback was ahead: She was to star in the remake of the movie "Sparkle" and was working on new music. Her family, friends and hard-core fans were hopeful.
The funeral is for invited guests only. Houston is to be buried next to her father, John Houston, in nearby Westfield, N.J.

Q: Is there any possible evidence that can give us insight into what happened exactly at the Big Bang/why it happened? It's mostly well accepted today that the Big Bang was the reason for today's universe, mostly due to the expansion, the cosmic microwave background etc. and mathematically the FLRW metric supports it. Is there/could there be anything at all, existing or modeled through specific experiments, in the present universe that can give us a better picture as to what exactly happened at t = 0 or what could have caused the Big Bang?

A: As astrophysicists continue their research, we're pushing our understanding closer and closer to time $T=0$. However, our progress seems to be asymptotic to that final goal of understanding the beginning of time. In addition, our concept of "time" may not be up to the task of describing the true beginning of the Universe. For instance, if you review the Very early universe section of the Wikipedia Chronology of the universe article, you'll find that in some inflation models, the time when inflation ended seems to be shorter than the duration of inflation.
So, unless there is some sort of (perhaps even literal) quantum leap in our understanding, we may never know what happened at time $T=0$.
