Q: Chrome Extension : Manifest version 3 issue : Uncaught TypeError: global.XMLHttpRequest is not a constructor I have developed chrome extension in manifest version 2 and I am trying to convert it to manifest version 3.
I have changed the manifest file as per the version 3 rules but i am getting below error(image attached) while installing extension in the chrome://extension.

I haven't used this code var xhr = new global.XMLHttpRequest() anywhere else in the code but don't know from where it is taking.
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue.
I had created the extension in AngularJs and I am creating build folder using script. I am using gulp and browserify to make a bundle. I think this is coming from any library but not sure from which library it is coming.

The problem with stains can happen in masonry pools (insert, tile, porcelain tile) and also in vinyl pools.
It is interesting, first of all, check the type of stain that comes in your pool. Should identify what kind of stain is it in the pool vinyl pools, there is a certain manufacturing defects that encourages the growth of a species of fungus that eventually stain the walls and the bottom of the pool.
The vinyl pool usually has several years of warranty against manufacturing defects and these spots caused by fungi, are considered a manufacturing defect.
How to remove a stain from your swimming pool?
During this period the pool should not be used if the chlorine content exceeding 3 ppm , and to use it, the tablets should be removed and stored in a plastic bucket with pool water.
Stains on vinyl pools or fiber can be removed by lowering the pH to below pH 6.8 using reducer. Lowering the pH becomes acidic water and softens stains making them easy to remove.
The treatment may have the duration of one week, during this period the pool will be closed, and brushing of spots on the surface of the pool should be performed with a brush. Do not use abrasive materials.
After removing stain, vacuum the bottom of the pool with the filter in the drain position. Adjust the parameters of alkalinity and pH, keep the chlorine content of between 1 and 3 ppm.

Women who received a year's supply of birth control were about a third less likely to have an unplanned pregnancy, compared to those with a one- or three-month supply, according to a 2011 study.
Gov. Jerry Brown (D) last week signed a law that requires health plans to cover up to 12 months of hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, rings, and patches.
Californians, beginning in January, will be able to get a year's supply of contraception in a single trip to the pharmacist.
Oregon and Hawaii recently enacted similar measures, removing the insurance barriers and logistical hurdles that sometimes lead to missed pills and unintended pregnancies. Publicly funded health-care programs in California already cover a year's supply of birth control. But that mandate didn't extend to private insurance, until now.
Insurance plan restrictions prevent 73 percent of U.S. women from receiving more than a single month's worth of birth control, as a 2015 committee opinion from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists noted.
Women who received a year's supply of birth control were about a third less likely to have an unplanned pregnancy, compared to those with a one- or three-month supply, according to a 2011 study of 84,401 California women in Obstetrics and Gynecology. They were also 46 percent less likely to have an abortion.
The bill drew near unanimous support in the state's Democratic-led legislature.
"There's no such thing economic security without reproductive freedom, and because of SB 999, more women in California will have that security," said Rebecca Griffin, assistant director of California programs with NARAL Pro-Choice California, one of the bill's sponsors.
The legislation's sponsors included the California Family Health Council and Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. The measure attracted support from dozens of medical and advocacy groups, including the California Medical Association and California Academy of Family Physicians.
Brown last week also signed a bill, AB 1954, that permits Californians to see a reproductive health provider, such as an OB-GYN, without a referral from their primary care doctor.

An Ode to the Career Bureaucracy
Rebecca Ingber
// 1/10/18 // In-Depth Analysis
Take Care is pleased to host a symposium on Constitutional Coup. In this important new book, Jon Michaels shows how separating the state from its public servants, practices, and institutions harms our Constitution, and threatens the stability of the Republic. Contributors will assess his analysis in light of developments under Trump.
Career bureaucrats are having quite a year. Normally fated to go about their work outside of the limelight, with little fanfare or public interest, suddenly all eyes seemed pinned on them. The President regularly jots off furious tweets about career intelligence and law enforcement officers. Cabinet secretaries are so afraid or simply dismissive of the people populating their buildings that they isolate themselves from the career bureaucracy. The administration's supporters wring their hands about the so-called "Deep State" threat to the President's agenda. And on the other side, no doubt fanning these fears, are the calls by the administration's opponents for the bureaucracy to rise up and resist him. It so happens we've seen little actual evidence of the bureaucracy rising up in any organized fashion to undermine the President, despite an abundance of new twitter accounts purporting to speak for the "altEPA" and the "Resistance DOJ." But the fears of the President and his top appointees of the people inside their own government have led them to seek out alternatives to working with the line officials of the bureaucracy. This has manifested in some agency heads and their staff cutting career bureaucrats out of the decision-making loop. And reportedly, some advisors may also be looking to increase reliance on private contractors to take on some of the most fundamental work of the bureaucracy – such as, in the case of recent reports on a proposal by Erik Prince (of Blackwater fame), intelligence collection.
Handing over the reins of intelligence collection to a private company (the very company that needed to change its name after its employees killed 14 Iraqi civilians at a traffic circle in a notorious and tragic episode of the Iraq war) might seem like a blatant departure from norms of good government. Such a move would be all the more terrifying when the clear and perhaps only purpose for creating a private intelligence service would be the President's mistrust of the career members of the actual intelligence community, a mistrust based not on misbehavior but rather on their lack of personal loyalty to him.
And yet, as Jon Michaels so thoroughly lays out in his excellent new book, Constitutional Coup, this turn toward privatization itself is part of a trend in U.S. executive branch governance that long predates the Trump administration. And while prior political actors may not have been quite so bellicose in their dealings with the bureaucracy, it is nevertheless—Michaels notes, dismantling the perceived benefits of privatization—precisely the ability to purchase a coterie of yes men rather than have to deal with the "cantankerous" civil service that has long made the move toward privatization appealing to Presidents and agency heads.
Constitutional Coup is in part an ode to those civil servants, and to what Michaels describes as the tripartite "administrative separation of powers" that serves as something of a successor to the traditional separation of powers: the President, the courts, and Congress. In Michaels' account, those powers are now divided, respectively, among the components of the administrative state: the agency leaders, civil servants, and civil society itself. (As an aside, while I wholeheartedly endorse Michaels' commitment to these administrative checks as a necessary and legitimizing feature of modern government, I don't necessarily see these actors as mapping so precisely onto the tripartite Madisonian model, nor need they to serve those goals.)
The national security arena is not the primary focus of Michaels book – in fact he explicitly brackets it – yet I view the importance of internal checks, and thus the danger of privatization, as just as great if not more so in an area where the courts and even Congress provide less particularized or rigorous oversight. Indeed, I find internal constraints in the national security sphere to be alive, kicking, and essential. I have both hailed and critiqued the efficacy of these constraints in the context of executive branch legal decision-making; the expanding conflict with al Qaeda; and the Obama war powers legacy. And in a forthcoming piece, I unpack and defend bureaucratic resistance in the national security state. Thus, I find Michaels' warnings about privatization to hold as much or even more weight in the national security arena.
I want to focus here specifically on Michaels' defense of the protected career bureaucracy vis-à-vis the privatization of the government work force through the weakening of protections for federal workers and the hiring of contractors to replace them. The latest threat to that bureaucracy is the deep state rhetoric coming from the President and his allies. So let's consider for a moment what is really at the heart of deep state fear. While the President himself may be stoking conspiracy theories as a means of undermining what he sees as threats to his position, the heart of the deep state narrative is a real concern about abuse of government power at the expense of the people. The fear is that unaccountable, anonymous actors are wielding covert power untethered to democratic sources of authority, at the expense of the public, which has no recourse to challenge them.
Michaels' account suggests that these "deep state" fears of the bureaucracy would be better directed at the looming rise of privatization. As Michaels notes, the oft-cited justification for privatization is increased efficiency. Yet to the extent hiring private contractors heightens efficiency, Michaels explains, it does not necessarily do so in terms of actual cost, or speed, both of which would benefit the public. Rather the real beneficiaries of this "efficiency" are the agency heads who gain not by improving the results, necessarily, but by removing internal impediments to their own agenda. Privatization enables these political actors to select hired guns to act on their direction, report directly to them, owe their positions to them, and likely have no incentive to question or push back on the preferences of those political actors. In doing so, they bypass career civil servants who bring with them pesky encumbrances like statutory constraints, longstanding norms and personal expertise, status quo bias, and perhaps most important: broader institutional loyalties – to their office, agency, Congress, the public, and the country.
With this in mind, it is easy to see why privatization might appeal to President Trump and his co-travelers. But it is this trend itself, the concentration of power in the hands of a few, and not the dispersed power of the vast and messy career bureaucracy, that presents the real threat to democratic accountability.
One of many insights in the book is Michaels' observation that while we tend to focus our concerns on the possibility of rogue contractors (Snowden comes to mind), we pay scant attention to a potentially more universal problem – overly obsequious contractors who too zealously prosecute the President's or agency leader's agenda. Add to this powerful contractors like Prince, eager to take advantage of the President's paranoia in order to further his own agenda.
I might argue that each of these traits – rogue action, obsequiousness, and opportunism – are not necessarily distinct but rather may co-exist in a perfect storm of the worst risks of privatization. Consider that what the president now views as deep state resistance is often bureaucratic actors simply continuing to do their jobs, per the longstanding process, statutory requirements, and norms of their office, agency and profession. (Recall the President's ongoing horror at the Justice Department's continued efforts to maintain independence from political taint.) But a contractor may feel, may even have, more freedom to disregard many of these constraints. Thus, her zealous pursuit of the President's agenda might mean blowing through the norms, culture, and laws that would constrain career bureaucrats from taking the same action—in other words, activity that would be rogue if pursued by a career bureaucrat. And when we add opportunism to the mix, we have the possibility of an actor taking advantage of the President to advance her own interests, without regard for the hurdles and processes of good government that would normally force reflection and broader democratically-sourced investment in the course of action.
We don't yet know whether the Prince intelligence scheme will have any purchase, but the military has long relied upon private contractors to fulfill many of the tasks for which we used to depend on career military officers. Thus, while I agree with Michaels that the Prince proposal is a step beyond what has come before, at least in terms of sheer audacity, I nevertheless see it as very much part of the dangerous trend described in his book – just a starker and more explicit example. Until now the tradeoff of bureaucratic encumbrances in exchange for political exigency has been more furtive. Perhaps political actors intentionally couched their privatization moves in pretextual terms, or perhaps they genuinely believed that their focus on efficiency meant dollars and time. My own instincts suggest it has often been the latter, and that in many decisions to move toward privatization, the rationales for doing so simply were not parsed out as clearly as Michaels does in his book. A critical difference in the Prince proposal, particularly in light of the President's antipathy toward the career bureaucracy, is that, as with so much else in the Trump presidency, there is not even the pretext of public interest.
If one wanted to be optimistic – and I do – there is one potential advantage in this President's bluster. His explicit disregard for the norms of government and his distaste for any checks on his power mean that the public and the other branches can see more clearly precisely what the President is up to. Perhaps this will engender more forceful oversight and even pushback by the traditional Madisonian branches on the President's agenda generally (as we have already started to see), but also specifically on any attempts he makes to instill a private, loyalist workforce in order to push that agenda through. It would be a delicious irony if the President's attempts to circumvent the internal checks on his authority were ultimately to serve to revitalize the external constraints on presidential power, as has been a legacy of presidents past.

Turkish officials say four Turkish soldiers were wounded in a mortar attack on a base in northern Iraq where Turkish troops are training Iraqi soldiers battling Islamic State militants.
Western media reported that IS fighters fired rockets on the Iraqi camp near the northern city of Mosul. A Turkish official said the attack originated from IS-held territory.
The camp came under mortar fire for several hours and Turkish troops responded with rounds of artillery, sources said.
Earlier this month, Turkey said more than 100 troops were deployed to the camp to protect Turkish military members training Iraqi fighters seeking to recapture Mosul from the Islamic State. But the Iraqi government and civilian demonstrators have objected to the deployment, saying it violates Iraq's sovereignty.
Some Turkish troops have since pulled out of the camp, where more than 1,000 Iraqi fighters have received training.

I've been using DBMail as my own personal mail server for a long while now. I've known the software ever since it's 1.x release, and been using it for its great benefits – Quick and accessible large IMAP folders (and I have over 60,000 items in there).
DBMail is a filtering backend for server based mail storage. It allows saving e-mail into a Database, and accessing it both via IMAP4 or POP3 protocols. This allows for large volumes of mail, with high load and traffic to be stored via faster-than-plain-files storage mechanism. It is great solution when you decide to use server-based-storage (IMAP4, in our case), and when you have tons of e-mail you don't tend to delete for the last 6 or so years. I like it.
During the last few years of upgrades, I've seen the product grow, and get better. I've seen it get developed to a level where it can actually be the back-end of a real production services supplier. I've heard about some who actually used it for this, via the mailing lists of DBMail users. During this time, during the upgrades I've applied, something with my DB schema was broken. Nothing which prevented actually using the system, but it caused all kinds of small-time minor side effects, such as, in my case, subscribing to IMAP4 mailboxes broken, and the such. No show-stopper.
After consulting DBMail people, I've decided to change my schema, using a procedure suggested by them. I've "dumped" my DB into a file, "drop" it, and recreate the DB, brand new and all, according to their specifications. Afterwards, I'd import the dumped DB into it, and get it over with.
I've failed. It's either there's some major difference, or something's broken with the procedure. I was able to login, but failed to get my e-mail!
So, I've restored my DB to its origin, and waited for some more spare time.
It takes a while doing this, BTW, as this DB is 17GB in size!
It took few weeks, but I was able to find the free time to start initiating another transfer. I've failed doing so, working on the level of the DB itself, then I'll go on the applicative solution – stinks, but works.
It's stinks, because it means every client of you (me and my wife) would have to transfer mail between mailboxes via our mail client. It stinks because it takes hours.
With over-bloated DB files as is, I've decided to create a new Database server, with new and separated store. I've added another MySQL server on this specific machine, running using different socket, different port and different store, lock and pid files. I've run an additional dbmail-imapd, my IMAP4 server, using the alternate socket, recreated the (empty) DB, and the empty tables, and started populating them. It took almost a day.
One weird thing I've noticed, but did not investigate any further, is that ThunderBird 1.0.6 on Linux did this same job faster than on Windows. Network settings of both computers are rather similar, and I could not really explain it, nor did I try much further.
I've almost forget to recreate our mail aliases and addresses, when recreated the rest.
After it was done, I've stopped both dbmail-imapd servers, and both MySQL servers, and replaced the stores between them. I've re initiated this dual-configuration, and moved the mails accumulated during the 10 hours delay. Afterwards, I've removed the older account, and shut down the alternative mail server.
It worked flawlessly, and although slow (and I've made few mistakes, including holding both stores on the same disk array), it was straight forward procedure. Stinks, but works.

Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism
Opinion by Angela Huyue Zhang
In recent months, Chinese antitrust authorities have ramped up their efforts to rein in Big Tech firms such as Alibaba, Ant Group, Meituan and Tencent. These enforcement actions were all launched after Jack Ma's controversial speech criticizing Chinese financial regulation last October. Many have therefore speculated that there are political motivations behind China's crackdown on Big Tech. While Ma's speech may have been the tipping point, there have been long-standing economic, social, and industrial policy issues that merit the government's action. In fact, Beijing's recent efforts to strengthen antitrust regulation in the tech sector could facilitate a larger goal of the Chinese government: to become a technology superpower and achieve self-sufficiency, removing reliance on the West.
In this regard, how China handles antitrust law offers it a distinct competitive advantage, particularly compared with the U.S., which is also grappling with how to handle tech giants. Even though efforts to rein in companies such as Google and Facebook have gathered momentum, the U.S. government has significantly less leverage than China when it comes to antitrust law. Indeed, any U.S. legislative changes will take years to enact, and existing antitrust cases brought against Big Tech also face uphill battles in U.S. courts.
China shares some of the same concerns as the U.S. over increasing market concentration in the tech sector. However, Chinese big tech companies do not thrive because they develop innovative technologies. Rather, they build smart apps that make it easier for consumers to connect with merchants. Even though China has emerged at the forefront of e-commerce and digital payment, Chinese Big Tech still owes its success, to a large extent, to China's vast consumer market.
Despite their sophisticated software development capabilities, companies such as Tencent and Alibaba have yet to develop foundational technologies. China's fragility in technological innovation was clearly exposed during the Sino-American trade war—the operations of national champions such as ZTE and Huawei could be easily interrupted if the U.S. government withheld the supply of key components such as semiconductors.
China's weakness in technological innovation explains Beijing's recent emphasis on achieving technological self-reliance and its desire to push Chinese tech giants in this direction. Since China is the only country apart from the U.S. to have Internet giants, these tech firms are in a good position to develop digital technologies for the country. In some ways, Chinese tech giants have responded to the government's call. Tencent has promised to invest $70 billion in new digital infrastructure. In 2019, Alibaba unveiled its first chip to power artificial intelligence. Baidu is betting heavily on driverless cars.
But Beijing wants more. Its intentions were clearly revealed in a recent editorial by the People's Daily, a Communist Party mouthpiece, which chided tech firms for investing in the "community group-buying" market. The commentator instead urged Chinese Internet giants to forge ahead with higher ambitions, such as advancing technological innovations to clear China's bottleneck in the intensive Sino-American rivalry, rather than focusing on selling cabbages.
In the meantime, antitrust law enforcement gives Beijing significant regulatory leverage to push its tech firms in the direction it desires. Antitrust law grants the central government strong sanctioning powers, allowing it to impose anything from astronomical monetary fines to severe structural remedies. The Chinese antitrust regulator also possesses vast administrative discretion while being subject to little judicial oversight. Furthermore, Chinese antitrust law enforcement is spearheaded by a central ministry that follows the central government's directives carefully.
As Chinese tech giants have amassed significant market power, they have become vulnerable to antitrust regulatory attacks. And just as U.S. and EU regulators are tightening their antitrust scrutiny over Big Tech, the Chinese antitrust authority also has perfectly legitimate reasons to do so. The regulatory vulnerability of Chinese Big Tech, in turn, facilitates their cooperation with Beijing to help the latter achieve its goals, be it in antitrust or other industrial policy matters. Thus, Chinese Big Tech can and do align their business development strategies with the government's industrial policy as a form of self-protection.
Indeed, the Chinese government views antitrust law as a powerful multipurpose tool not only for tackling monopolies, but also for achieving a wide variety of policy objectives, such as maintaining price stability, industrial planning, and trade and foreign policy. Thus, the absence of checks and balances in Chinese antitrust enforcement, supposedly an institutional weakness, could actually be a strength for Beijing as it pushes tech giants and the country toward achieving technological self-sufficiency.

Allegations against the group's board of directors span conspiracy to coups and nepotism to nefarious spending. And the board is now down several members, who either resigned in protest of the ouster of popular president Lisa-Marie Haygood Saturday or were forced out with her.
In the last two days, I've heard about past criminal histories of sitting board members. I have learned about nepotism with two married couples on the board. (Apparently, that is allowed from what I can see.) I have heard allegations of racism, that black board members were forcing out white members -- and that was told to me by outraged black PTA leaders from metro Atlanta. I have heard allegations of misspending on credit cards and lavish spending on national conventions.
I have talked to several former members of the board of directors of the Georgia PTA, all of whom agree Haygood paid a price for attempting to rein in the perks and the petty power struggles. Against Haygood's advice, the board approved using $20,000 of money provided by local PTAs to pay for 20 board members to attend the national convention in Las Vegas this summer.
As one former board member told me, "The local units in good faith are sending their membership dues thinking it is going to children's programs and it is going to hotel rooms at the Hilton for board meetings, meals at the meetings and sending people to national conventions. The convention has become their summer vacation."
And what is the board itself saying?
I hope to talk to Barr today as someone in leadership ought to address this growing crisis, which undermines the ability of the Georgia PTA to advocate for public education when that advocacy is most critical.
In talking to upset PTA leaders over the manuevers leading up to Haygood's removal, there appears at the very least to be serious dysfunction on the board and misplaced priorities.
In the meantime, angry local leaders want their members to get involved to demand accountability for the board's recent actions. And considering their dues funds the board, that accountability ought to be a given.
As a PTA/PTSA Member you need to be informed that a faction of the GA PTA Board of Directors, removed GA PTA President, Lisa-Marie Haygood, along with the Directors of Districts 7 & 10 from office, Saturday, January 28, 2017. This was a unilateral decision, not a mutual decision. In response to this action, numerous board members, specialists, finance committee members, and the office manager, have since resigned in protest and as a show of no confidence in the remaining board members.

Libertarian Candidates Pitch Themselves As Antidote To Partisanship
By Jessica Taylor
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson needs to get to 15 percent in polls to make it onto the debate stage this fall.
Libertarian Party candidates Gary Johnson and Bill Weld pitched themselves as the antidote to Washington partisanship in a CNN town hall, hoping to appeal to voters frustrated with both the Republican and the Democratic presidential nominees.
Both are former Republican governors — Johnson from New Mexico and Weld from Massachusetts — and told CNN's Anderson Cooper they align with most voters on both fiscal and social issues.
"We want the government out of your pocketbook and out of your bedroom, and the polling shows that a majority of Americans think that," said Weld, the party's vice presidential nominee.
Johnson, who ran for the GOP nomination in 2012 before becoming the Libertarian nominee four years ago, said if they are elected, the two longtime lawmakers will almost act as co-presidents — sharing a staff and "planning to do this as a partnership."
"Two heads for the price of one, and that it would be a plus for the country, believing that," the former New Mexico governor said.
"I think it would be refreshing to have a party that was not terribly partisan holding the White House, and we would hire the best people from the Democratic Party, the smartest people from the Republican Party and the best people from the Libertarian Party," Weld added.
The two bemoaned the rules that, as of now, would keep them off the presidential debate stage come this fall. A third-party candidate must hit at least 15 percent in polling, and the Libertarian ticket is at 9 percent in the latest CNN/ORC poll. The Green Party's Jill Stein is at 5 percent in that same survey.
A third-party candidate hasn't made it onto the stage since independent Ross Perot in 1992, but with both Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton still struggling to unite their parties' bases while being dragged down by high disapproval ratings, there is a rare opening. And Johnson and Weld are aiming to fill that void.
"The idea that we should not be at those debates expressing what is a majority point of view in the country can only be laid at the door of the two-party monopoly, the duopoly, that has a stranglehold on power in Washington," Weld said. "That's the Rs and the Ds, who sometimes seem to exist mainly for the express purpose of killing each other."
Johnson stood by his characterization that Clinton was "beholden" to special interests and slammed her high fees for speaking to Wall Street groups. He argued there is a conflict of interest between the former secretary of state and her family's Clinton Foundation that "smacks of pay-to-play."
But Weld had harsher words for Trump and the way the GOP candidate has reacted to criticism from the family of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq.
"He's a showman. He's a pied piper. He's the music man," Weld said about the billionaire real estate magnate. "More recently, it's gotten more serious, and the noun that comes to my mind is a screw loose."
Johnson dismissed the idea that they would play spoiler this fall, though.
"A wasted vote is voting for somebody that you don't believe in, and if we're going to continue to vote for the lesser of two evils, that's still evil," he told a questioner.
Johnson did depart from typical libertarian orthodoxy in one instance. Previously, he has said that "religious freedom, as a category" was "a black hole," and he said he wouldn't back any state religious freedom laws, such as ones that would protect people like wedding photographers or bakers from having to provide services for a gay wedding.
"I fear that under the guise of religious liberty, the LGBT community is being discriminated against," Johnson said. "There can be a balance between the two, but I don't want to support discrimination in any form whatsoever."
Shetamia Taylor, a woman who was wounded in the Dallas police attack last month, asked Johnson about the Black Lives Matter movement. And the Libertarian nominee gave a rare acknowledgement that, as a white man, he had been slow to realize there was a problem between minorities and law enforcement.
"My head's been in the sand on this. I think we've all had our heads in the sand, and let's wake up," Johnson said. "This discrimination does exist."
On the subject of foreign policy, Johnson said the two weren't pushing for an isolationist approach, simply one that was more hesitant to enter into foreign skirmishes.
"We both reject the notion that libertarians are isolationists," Johnson said. "We're not isolationists. We're non-interventionists. We don't want to get involved in regime change that has the potential to make the world less safe."

Liquigas, Nibali Surprise Field at Giro d'Italia TTT
by afp direct Published: May 26, 2010
CUNEO, May 12, 2010 (AFP) - Vincenzo Nibali pulled earned the race-leader's pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia after leading his Liquigas team to victory in the fourth stage time trial over 33 kilometers on Wednesday.
Liquigas powered over the undulating racecourse from Savigliano to Cuneo in the Piedmont region to finish ahead of Bradley Wiggins' Team Sky, with HTC-Columbia finishing third.
Overnight leader Alexander Vinokourov was forced to give up the pink jersey after his Astana team lost composure in the closing kilometers. The Kazakh lost 38 seconds to end up sixth in the overall standings, 33sec adrift.
Another big loser was Australian race contender Cadel Evans, whose BMC team finished way down the standings at 1:21 behind Liquigas, whose team leader is former Giro d'Italia winner Ivan Basso.
Former Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre had his Cervelo team to thank for helping limit his losses to Nibali to only 38sec.
Basso, who served a two-year ban for doping between 2007 and 2009, is now second overall at 13sec.
For now, however, the glory will go to Nibali.
The Sicilian all-rounder, who finished a seventh in last year's Tour de France, was only called up for the race at the last minute after Franco Pellizotti was accused of doping.
Thursday's fifth stage will be held over 162km between Novara and Novi Ligure, where the race will pay homage to the Italian legend Fausto Coppi, who died 50 years ago.
Tour of Italy results after Wednesday's fourth stage, a 33km team time-trial from Savigliano to Cuneo:
1. Liquigas 36min 37sec, 2. Team Sky at 13sec, 3. HTC-Columbia 21, 4. Katusha 27, 5. Astana 38, 6. Cervelo 38, 7. Omega Pharma 46, 8. Garmin-Transitions 49, 9. Saxo Bank 50, 10. Milram 57
11. Rabobank 1:04, 12. BMC 1:21, 13. Lampre 1:43, 14. Footon 2:03, 15. CSF 2:08, 16. Quick Step 2:15, 17. Bbox 2:19, 18. Caisse d'Epargne 2:21, 19. Androni 2:24, 20. Cofidis 2:29

Chanukah Ma'aser
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Yoni. Yoni was a good boy and he was seven years old. Yoni was very excited, because Chanukah just finished and Yoni collected a lot of money, by playing Dreidel and getting Chanukah gelt.
Yoni kept all his coins in a bag Ziploc bag that made a 'ching-ching' noise wherever he went. The next day, Yoni's Daddy took him to the bank to see how much money Yoni collected. Yoni took his big bag and went on his way with his Daddy to the bank. When they got to the bank, Yoni dumped all his coins into the coin machine, and they waited for the paper to come out telling him how much money he had. Yoni was super excited when it said he had $94.67!
Daddy gave him a crisp, clean, new $100 bill and said that 'This is my Chanukah gift to you!'
Wow, Yoni was thrilled! He never had a $100 bill before!
When they got home, Yoni's Daddy told him, 'Oh Yoni, don't forget that you have to give Ma'aser.'
'Ma'aser? What is Ma'aser?' Asked Yoni.
'Well…' his Daddy was about to tell him but just then the doorbell rang and Yoni's father went to answer it. It looked like it was going to be a while, so Yoni decided instead to ask somebody very, very smart who is really, really old. He was going to ask his older brother Reuven who was 11 years old.
'Reuven,' and asked Yoni, 'what is Ma'aser?'
'Ma'aser', responded Reuven, 'is when you have to give a percentage of your money to Tzedakah. You have to give 10% to Tzedakah as Hashem tells us in the Torah that this is what we must do.'
'Oh…' Said Yoni, 'so how much is 10% of $100?'
'Well,' answered Reuven, 'that is $10 that you have to give to Tzedakah.'
Yoni thought about it, but giving away $10 means he would only be left with $90! Yoni liked the $100 so much more! Well, Yoni decided he would think about it and he didn't give the Tzedakah right away.
The next day, Yoni was so excited because he kept his hundred dollar bill with him wherever he went.
Every week in school, there was a spelling test. Usually, Yoni would get a 100% on the spelling test but somehow Yoni only got a 90% on the spelling test! Somehow, Yoni got 10% wrong. 'Hmm..' thought Yoni, 'oh well…'.
Then during recess when they were trading baseball cards Yoni lost 10 very good baseball cards! 'Hmm…' thought Yoni, 'oh well…'.
After school, Yoni was waiting for his bus, and it was 10 minutes late! When the bus finally pulled up it was a different bus and the bus number was number 10!
The door opened and there was a substitute bus driver. He said 'Hello boys, my name is Mr. Schlamazale!'
He said, 'I'm sorry that I'm 10 minutes late. Oh, and I usually hit about 10 bumps along the way.' 'Hmm…' thought Yoni, 'again with the number 10. Oh well..'.
Mr. Schlamazale was right because the bus was bouncing around everywhere banging this way and banging that way, up and down Yoni went banging against the seat in front at least 10 times!
When Yoni's stop was finally here and Yoni couldn't wait to get off the bus. 'Thank you Mr. Schlamazale', said Yoni as he exited the bus, still holding onto his favorite hundred dollar bill. As Yoni was stepping off the bus, the door closed and ripped off a little bit of the hundred dollar bill!
'Awwwww!!!' said Mr. Schlamazale, 'I'm sooo sorry! It looks like I ripped off 10% from your hundred dollar bill!' Yoni just looked at his ripped dollar bill and ran home crying.
Later that night there was a knock on Yoni's door. Yoni's father opened the door and there was Mr. Schlamazale. 'I'm so sorry about Yoni's $100 bill' Mr. Schlamazale said. Just then, Yoni walked into the room and said, 'No, it's not your fault Mr. Schlamazale. The reason I got 10% wrong on my spelling test, and lost 10 baseball cards, and the bus came 10 minutes late and I got bounced around 10 times and 10% of my $100 got ripped… is because I never gave Ma'aser like I was supposed to. It's my fault.'
'Hmm..' said Yoni's father, 'it's very important to give Ma'aser right away.'
'I know that now' answered Yoni.
Yoni's father took the ripped $100 bill and gave Yoni a brand new one. 'Let's start again' Yoni's father said with a twinkle in his eye. Yoni quickly asked his father to give him only $90 and to give the $10 to Tzedakah right away!
It was a few months later, and now it was Yoni's birthday. Every year, he would get a birthday card in the mail from his Bubby. This year, he opened the card and inside the card was a $50 bill. Right away Yoni ran to his Mommy and said 'I have to give Ma'aser, quick, what's 10% of $50?'
From that day on Yoni always gave Ma'aser right away without delay!

Selfish Sruli


The general condition of your cat's skin and coat are good indicators of its health. A healthy coat should be shiny and smooth, not coarse or brittle, and healthy skin should be supple and clear, not greasy, flaky or bumpy. Although health and nutrition influence the luster and texture of your cat's coat from the inside, regular grooming and skin care on the outside will help keep your cat's coat clean and free of tangles, no matter what type of hair coat he or she has.
With selective breeding, we now have cats with coats that range from the hairless Sphinx through curly-coated minimally-shedding Rex cats, to smooth-coated Oriental breeds with sparse undercoats, to domestic short-haired cats with a regular coat of guard hairs and a fine undercoat that provides additional insulation, and finally to long-haired cats with fine silky hair that tangles easily.
Some cats that live in cooler climates, particularly if they venture outdoors, will undergo two heavy seasonal shedding cycles per year (late spring and late fall), during which much of the undercoat falls out in clumps. However, many cats that share our homes shed hair in low levels all year round.
How does nutrition influence the appearance of my cat's hair and skin?
The skin is the largest organ of the body, and the cells of the skin turn over rapidly. For most pets, virtually all of the skin is covered with hair that is being shed and replaced several times per year. In order to maintain the skin and hair in a healthy state, your cat requires a properly balanced diet that contains highly digestible proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins, and provides the appropriate number of calories to meet its energy needs.
"The ideal diet should be individualized to your cat's specific life stage..."
If the nutrients are poorly digestible, they will not only be unavailable to meet the body's needs, but they will also put an excessive load on the liver and kidneys, which must eliminate the indigestible waste products. The ideal diet should be individualized to your cat's specific life stage (i.e., kitten, adult, senior) and health status. In all cases, quality and balance are the keys to good nutrition. A cat whose diet is inadequate to meet its needs will have a dull, dry hair coat and will often shed excessively.
For more information about cat nutrition, we recommend that you read the specific nutritional handouts available in this client education series, or contact our clinic for specific advice tailored to your cat's requirements.
What role does health play in the appearance of my cat's coat and skin?
Illness or stress, especially if it is chronic or long-standing, will affect the appearance of your pet's coat, particularly its luster and texture, and many cats will shed excessively when they are under stress. Some of the more common examples of diseases that can affect your pet's coat include hormone imbalances or other metabolic problems, digestive disturbances such as chronic diarrhea, parasites, both internal (intestinal worms) and external (fleas, ticks, mange mites), and cancer. Even arthritis or obesity can cause skin problems such as dandruff or matting if the cat is unable to groom itself properly.
Many skin conditions will affect both the shininess and the appearance of your pet's fur. Allergic skin disease and seborrhea cause itching and changes in the normal production of skin oils, resulting in dullness and excessive shedding, either in patches or over the entire body.
If your cat's skin or coat problem is caused by an underlying health issue, the general health of the skin and the quality of the hair often improve dramatically when the illness is brought under control through treatment, which may include dietary changes.
What role does regular grooming play in the appearance of my cat's coat and skin?
"All cats benefit from regular brushing..."
Regardless of the type of hair coat, you should inspect your cat's coat every day to make sure there are no tangles or clumps that have developed under the armpits, in the groin, or behind the ears. If you regularly check your cat's coat and skin, you will also have a better chance of detecting any unusual lumps, bumps, or areas of sensitivity on your cat's body at an early stage.
"Most healthy adult cats are fastidious groomers and rarely require a bath."
Most healthy adult cats are fastidious groomers and rarely require a bath. How often your particular cat needs to be bathed will depend somewhat on its age, lifestyle, and whether there are any underlying health problems. For example, an older, arthritic cat that has difficulty grooming itself may need the occasional bath to remove loose hair and objectionable odors. If your cat has skin allergies, your veterinarian may prescribe frequent bathing with a therapeutic shampoo as part of the treatment regime.
Cats should only be bathed in a shampoo that is formulated for use on cats - their skin has a different thickness and pH than human skin, and human shampoo, including baby shampoo, is too harsh for their skin. For routine bathing, a hypoallergenic shampoo without any added perfumes is the best choice. For best results, a conditioning product should be applied afterwards, to restore any lost moisture to the skin and minimize the development of dandruff after the bath. Since all cats will groom themselves vigorously after a bath, it is extremely important to completely rinse out any shampoo or rinse thoroughly so that your cat does not swallow any residues that could cause digestive upset or other harm.
"..it is extremely important to completely rinse out any shampoo or rinse thoroughly so that your cat does not swallow any residues that could cause digestive upset or other harm..."
If you find that your cat requires frequent bathing, your veterinarian may recommend the use of a 'dry shampoo' or a special therapeutic shampoo and conditioning rinse so that your furry friend does not develop skin problems associated with the repeated baths.
For specific information about grooming or bathing your cat, see our related handout "Grooming and Coat Care for your Cat".
My cat seems to only have skin or coat problems at specific times of the year. Why is this?
Some cats may suffer from skin irritation related to dry winter conditions, particularly from lack of humidity in our homes. Other cats that have allergies to pollens from trees, plants, or grass may develop skin problems during pollen season - this may occur in the spring with tree pollens, or during summer or fall for plant pollen allergies. Some cats are allergic to fleas or other biting insects and can develop a rash or patchy hair loss with even a single insect bite.
If you bathe or groom your cat and the skin or coat problem returns quickly, you should bring him or her to the veterinary clinic for an examination. Sometimes, skin problems such as a skin rash, itchiness, excessive dandruff, heavy shedding, a greasy coat, or an unpleasant skin odor can indicate a serious underlying problem, as discussed above. In many cases, this underlying problem will be easy to diagnose and treat, but occasionally, the underlying disorder can present a diagnostic challenge and might even require referral to a dermatologist. Once the underlying problem is diagnosed, the appropriate treatment can be prescribed to control your cat's symptoms.
Your take home message is that your cat's general skin and coat appearance may be the first indicators of health problems. A healthy animal will not shed excessively and will have a shiny coat that is free from dandruff or greasiness. Before reaching for the bottle of shampoo, think about whether that lackluster coat could be telling you something else. If you have any concerns, contact our veterinary clinic to arrange a consultation.

Q: Understanding inclusion exclusion principle (with example question). Hi here is a question that i solved with generating functions , and i try to solve the same question with the inclusion exclusion principle.
Question:
We have four type of balls - Red,Blue,Green,White
We only have ten for each color.
Find out how many ways you can select 24 balls.
Order is not important.
My solution for the problem with generating functions his:
$\begin{align}
   f(x) &=(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7+x^8+x^9+x^{10})^4 \\
  {{a}_{24}} &=? \\
 f(x) &= ((1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7+x^8+x^9+x^{10})^2)^2 \\
 & ={{(1+2x+3{{x}^{2}}+4{{x}^{3}}+5{{x}^{4}}+6{{x}^{5}}+7{{x}^{6}}+8{{x}^{7}}+9{{x}^{8}}+10{{x}^{9}}+11{{x}^{10}}+10{{x}^{11}}+9{{x}^{12}}+8{{x}^{13}}+7{{x}^{14}}+6{{x}^{15}}+5{{x}^{16}}+4{{x}^{17}}+3{{x}^{18}}+2{{x}^{19}}+{{x}^{20}})}^{2}} \\
 & =..... \\
  {{a}_{24}}&=745 \\
\end{align}$
Now i try to solve the problem with inclusion exclusion so:
${{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}}+{{x}_{4}}=24$
   ${{x}_{i}}\le 10\text{ for }1\le i\le 4$.
how should i solve it with this condition?
What is my $|U|=?$ (complement of a set)
and why?

A: Without the limit of $10$ balls available for each colour, the number of possibilities is a straightforward stars&bars combination/classification problem, giving total combinations of $${27\choose 3}=2925$$
To find out how many of these break the constraint on Red balls, preallocate 11 balls to Red then run stars&bars on the remaining number to select. $${16\choose 3}=560$$
Subtracting this four times, one for each colour (since they all have the same constraint), will overcompensate for cases where two of the colours break the 10 limit. So assess how many of such cases there might be with another preallocation of 11 to two colours this time:$${5\choose 3}=10$$
There are ${4\choose 2}=6$ options for two simultaneous limits exceeded, and fortunately no way that 3 limits can be broken simulatneously. So our final inclusion-exclusion result is $${27\choose 3}-{4\choose 1}{16\choose 3} +{4\choose 2}{5\choose 3} =2925-4\times 560+6\times 10 = 745$$matching your generating function answer.

Letter From Luxor
by Dara Kell
in Film, Spitting Image
Comments Off on Letter From Luxor
In the marble-walled, air conditioned lobby of the five-star Sonesta Hotel in Luxor, Egypt, glamorous movie stars swan around in sequined dresses, producers take meetings with potential collaborators over laptops and coffee, exhausted-looking youngsters rush around with tripods, making short films (they have only a week to do so) under the stern gaze of Haile Gerima, Ethiopian luminary of independent cinema. At one point, Haile marches up to two young men and shouts, "I need to be fed, now!" It is three o' clock in the afternoon and he has once more worked through lunch. At a desk sits Samia, the travel agent, who has to make sure that 100 guests from across Africa and the world are in the right place at the right time. She stares into her laptop. I feed her a piece of Toblerone and she smiles wearily. This hotel lobby serves as temporary headquarters of the Luxor African Film Festival. I am here to screen Dear Mandela, a documentary I made with Christopher Nizza and the members of South Africa's shack dwellers movement, Abahlali baseMjondolo. It is my first time traveling to Egypt. How unbearably exciting to glimpse, after hours flying over peach-coloured clay mountains to see at last, two green stripes hugging a slice of blue: the Nile River, and then to happen upon this cacophonous microcosm of the African film industry.
To create something out of nothing: that is the most audacious thing, the primal creative urge that pulses through us and makes us do impossibly beautiful and daring things. In Luxor, site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, a crew of dreamers has created a festival borne out of 'the glow' of the revolution that began on January 25th, 2011. The festival, which recently wrapped up its second edition, is an ambitious week-long affair with screenings of 100 films from 20 African nations along with workshops and visiting filmmakers ranging from cognoscente like Souleyman Cissé to first-time filmmakers like me.
For Egypt, this is a time of liminality, of standing at the threshold of something new. We turn to one side and see Luxor's desperate poverty – over seventy percent of their economy relies on tourism, and hotels, we are told, are giving away their rooms at ridiculously low rates in an attempt to lure visitors. The festival itself is such an attempt, as the Ministry of Tourism admits. Every local resident I met spoke of their suffering, of the lack of tourists and the struggle to feed their families. There is the specter of torture and the anguish of families of the disappeared, stories of women being raped in Tahrir Square and stories of a revolution hijacked. One of the volunteers, actor and filmmaker Taha Askar, says, "we made one revolution; the Muslim Brotherhood stole it, now we have to make another one." I want to ask him, in my naiveté, when are they planning to do this? Tomorrow? Next week? I want to bear witness to it while I am here, I want to understand it, and yet, I am afraid. The day I left Egypt, nearly 200 people were injured in Cairo when protesters stormed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Flaubert traveled to Egypt when he was twenty-seven. He wrote that it "is a place of contrast. Splendid things gleam in the dust." Everywhere I looked in Luxor, construction projects were half-finished and abandoned. Beyond the delicately manicured gardens of the Winter Palace, where Agatha Christie is said to have wrote Murder on the Nile, where Princess Diana sunned herself while on honeymoon, beyond the strip of British restaurants catering only to tourists, lies a land that has been repeatedly looted, robbed from under its residents' feet.
The ancient treasures of Luxor feel improperly cared for. The sumptuously decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings are carelessly guarded – one insouciant guard smokes cigarettes outside the entrance to tombs, and we are able to roam about alone, unwatched. We could have defaced them if we had wanted to. The Avenue of the Sphinxes, built by the 30th Dynasty king Nectanebo I (380-362 B.C.), passes, in some sections, through what appears to be a rubbish dump. Although currently slated for restoration, the Sphinxes look like sand castles – ready to be kicked over at any moment.
If we turn to the other side, there is a sense of inevitable victory, of fortune favouring not only the bold but also those who choose to be on the right side of history. Before our screening, a festival volunteer shared a tiny cup of strong Egyptian coffee with me. I asked him about life in Cairo. He tells me that so many people are now being killed that he thinks they will have to abandon protests and instead seek change through elections. He believes that the Egyptian people will vote the Muslim Brotherhood out, if given the chance.
Egypt's Minister of Tourism writes that the Luxor African Film Festival aims to enhance "cultural connections between Egypt and the African participating countries." It is clear that the organizers intend to use the festival to make a statement: Egypt is ready to repair its relationship with its African neighbors.
Failure to translate
One afternoon, I left a film criticism workshop early and walked around alone searching for food. All the stores were closed, iron gates shut, and the streets empty except for a group of young girls and women clad in black jilbābs, who giggled when I greeted them. On the way to the Palace of Culture, I happened upon a large mural of what seemed like a fitting symbol for the festival: televisions adorned with wings, painted in the style of hieroglyphics, taking flight amidst lofty words like: tolerance, truth, love, beauty, respect, and phrases painted on feathers: we need new knowledge, together we can create. For a moment, I contemplated this mural happily. It was pleasing to the eye; it slotted in to my optimistic vision of progress, unity of African nations, the popular notion that culture, that great translator, that great equalizer, will save us all from war and poverty. And a moment later, I realized that all the words on the mural were in English, and that Arabic-speaking residents, many of whom spoke only a smattering of English, could not understand it. Thirty percent of Egypt is illiterate. It was a failure to translate.
A failure to translate seemed to haunt the festival, though I imagine that these are the kinds of kinks that could be ironed out as the festival matures. Films in English could not be understood by the locals. Some films had been subtitled in Arabic but the English subtitles were blacked out so that festival guests who didn't speak English could not understand. It was an odd experience, trying to watch Alrick Brown's Kinyarwanda, a film I'd been longing to see, and trying to divine meaning from facial expressions, tone and music. Midway through one screening, dozens of young children suddenly entered the theatre, chattering, laughing and playing hide-and-seek amongst the chairs. One little girl sat in front of me and stared back at me. The children were shushed. For some audience members, I imagine that the spell of their cinematic experience was broken. For others, the inevitable intrusion of life outside only served to remind us to translate, to insist on opening our doors wider, to be more inclusive, in short, to keep it real.
Luxor residents were conspicuously absent from screenings I attended. One volunteer organizer told me that the locals aren't interested in African cinema. They only want Egyptian movie stars, or Hollywood movies. Azza Elhosseiny, the festival's Executive Director, says this is one of the reasons for starting the festival – to get Egyptians interested in African films and to remind Egyptians that they are Africans, too. Which brings to mind a question posed at the Isital Forum, where programmers and producers met each day to sketch out plans for a co-production fund and market to launch at next year's festival: we can make these African films, but who will watch them? How do we develop the taste for African cinema?
The arresting film Nairobi Half Life, which was awarded the festival's Special Jury Prize, asks the question: do we look (at injustice, poverty, the truth), or do we look away? Mwas, an aspiring young actor, travels from his humble rural home to the big city. As he is drawn into a life of crime in order to survive, he is also accepted into a family of actors and given a role in a play – his dream come true. He is constantly torn between two worlds, hence, 'half life'. He must choose between a life of money, excitement and sense of belonging (albeit to a gang) and the more authentic life that he left home to seek – the life of an actor whose work speaks to social realities.
Nairobi Half Life has a Kenyan director, cinematographer and screenwriter. It has garnered international awards, but it is also a hit in Kenya. The star of the film, the soft-spoken 28-year-old Joseph Wairimu, says that he tried to get a ticket to see the film in a Nairobi cinema three times, and each time, the screening was sold out. This is good news for Kenyan cinema, and good news for African cinema. He said, "It's wonderful the kind of power that film possesses. We are the custodians of history; we practice our activism through film. [With] films like Dear Mandela and Nairobi Half Life, you can be amazed at the lengths they go to, to make people think about their lives and the way forward."
Running a festival is often a political as much as a cultural project. Minutes after landing in Luxor, I struck up a conversation with a man who turned out to be Libyan filmmaker and dissident Mohamed Makhlouf, director of the Arab Screen Independent Film Festival Benghazi. He tells me about returning to Libya after 36 years spent living in exile in London. He made a pact with the Benghazi authorities: no films dealing with sex or religion in exchange for zero censorship when it came to politics. He is affable and, though in his fifties, speaks with youthful brimming energy. He described the magical scene – watching films in a public square, films that challenged the dictatorship. "Can you imagine?" he asks me.
I can. I imagine the possibilities for Luxor, for the festival, for young filmmakers across Africa, as we leave Egypt and return to our humble lives of making art, of maxed out credit cards and hustling to survive and thrive, and I think of the lotus flower, which adorns the walls of the tombs of the kings and queens. It is a symbol of creation: it closes at night and sinks underwater. In the morning it re-emerges and blooms again.
