Spent the christmas/winter solstice season at my sister's place near Tokyo. Mona LOVED it. I LOVED it! I hope OScar and Irene LOVED it too.
On christmas day we went out to eat, in order to relieve pressure on my sister. We had big plans for a special restaurant that Tomoe had found online, but it turns out it was for a different place. We ended up at a probably better place randomly chosen from the shopping mall near her house. Best cheesy noodles I have had in a long time!
Oscar and Irene (my sister's twins, if you can't tell from the photo) loved the pumpkin pie (if you can't tell from the photo).
Mona had a great time and learned a lot! She walks so much better and has other skills improved after watching Oscar and Irene.
The only negative thing was that our new (used) van got keyed - very deeply - while it was parked at my sister's apartment. From this I make the broad generalization that people in Tokyo are not as nice as people in this area, where instead of keying the car, they have secret meetings about all the bad stuff you are doing.
Letting the chickens loose (even though everyone said OK) - No no.
Having a new van close to the road - No no.
Anyway, it was a wonderful trip to Kelly's, and Mona loved it, hopefully as much as Oscar and Irene and Johan seemed to have loved it.
Among the testivities were building a poorly planned gingerbread house (I am very disapointed in Young Hoon's engeneering skills), and playing with stickers that Mona stole from Oscar and Irene.
We also got lost when I let Irene guide me home after separating from her mum. That was fun. We found a hippo.
Shopping was kinda fun too. The eggs our Silkies are laying sell for 200 ($2)+ each. Good to make angry neighbors, who never told us they didn't want the chooks free, feel a little bit happier. I think Mona sells for more, but their bar-code reader didn't register her price.
I actually have no photos this time. I had my camera with me, but was not in the mood.
This village is my place were every body knows my name, and they always (at least act like) they are glad I came. That is why I love it here. In Tokyo I didn't eve know my neighbor or land-lord who lived below me.
Shinmai(新米) means "new/fresh rice". We had a lot of left over rice from last year, so we didn't eat any of our shinmai until today.
I could write about the snow, but I am sure you will see plenty of that later. In the mean time, I will post a few mediocre shots form the village office Christmas party for babies and mommies - and one daddy.
The girl who is in charge of arranging it had lots of fun activities planned, such as tracing your hand and decorating it (mona and all of the other 1-ish year olds had some trouble with that) to hang on the wall. Mona's masterpiece is in the photo above.
Mona started a fashion trend by putting stickers on her cheeks (I helped a bit) that were intended to decorate a paper-plate wreath that again, the 1-year-olds were supposed to decorate. Soon all the kids had stickers on their cheeks. Mona cared more about throwing colored pencils, BUT, she did learn to play the washboard. The pencil container was made of tin and shaped like an old-fashioned washboard, Mona figured out by herself how to use a pencil and the case to sound just like Washboard Sam.
Even as I play this song, Mona is going crazy with excitement. Luckily we have an old washboard somewhere in the basement. She already plays guitar, organ, and drums, and the beans-in-a-bottle, so I don't know where she will fine the time to practice yet another instrument.
Then they brought out the just-before-lunch snack/activity of making a lion out of a pancake and lots and lots of chocolate. You could tell which of the kids not allowed chocolate at home because they were literally sucking it out of the cake-decorator-tube. One of the organizers is a nutritionist. Above you see a photo of the pancake Mona "made" while she and the neighbor boy were playing with some toys in the corner and Tomoe and I were trying to hide the fact that we were doing her homework for her.
Just for the record... the girl below is not Mona.
For a few weeks now we have been milking the goat kept for the local grade school. The teacher is obviously busier than us, and if she doesn't do it no one else will. Plus, we really wanted a goat this year, but it didn't work out.
But, the goat is nice. I can certainly envision keeping chickens - we have some eggs incubating now that would sell for 400 yen ($4) each - for sale of free-range eggs (though we need a FREE range), or hand-raised chicks, or goats for cheese, and just do the bike trips on the side for extra cash and to bring more people to come see our village.
Anyway, we have been making cheese for a few years now, using milk from the dairy farmer down the street. We made cottage cheese, but this time we are actually trying to age it and make proper cheese. It will be a few months before we know the results.
This time we are using actual rennet (an enzime from the stomach of a calf), instead of vinegar or lemon juice. The fresh cottage cheese tastes great, so we have big hopes for the aged cheese.
Just a very little bit of what is going on. We received some western style BBQ sets from a customer. Although we have no place to put them for the winter (they will be crushed by snow), we thought it would be good for smoking fish before that. So on our trip to the Noto Peninsulla a few weeks ago, we bought some cheap fish to test it out.
I think we have to try again.
The fish and eggs we smoked there didn't turn out so well. They were too salty and sour. Tomoe has been washing them in fresh water and it takes away some of the bad flavor. It is certainly not the fault of the equipment (which we are very grateful for), but this was only my second time at smoking, and sometimes, smoke happens.
As I had lost my confidence, and we had some other fish left that we intended to smoke, we decided to use a method Tomoe read about on some blog or what-not. We just smoked it on the kitchen stove.
1) Add some tin-foil to the bottom of your skillet to regulate the heat.
3) Put in some nice protein-ish stuff like fish, chicken, ham, tofu, or eggs, and you have yourself a wonderful tasting smoked protein-ish thing.
Old photos from the end of October when we had a couple come out for our Fall Colors trip. We originally planned to cancel it, because we were just too pre-occupied with other things, but they were Australian, so what can I do?
When we woke up in the morning we were thankful that, while it was raining down in the valley, at least we weren't in the mountain when it snowed that night. There is much more snow up there now, of course. I will be heading up there again in a few days to attend a birthday party for the local grade-school's chickens. I hope to get some more photos of the current state then.
Quick Tip for people who want to climb Mt Naeba in the fall: On the last day of the season, all the alcohol is free. There may be snow, but you will sleep soundly no matter how cold it is.
Last year around this time I posted the photo below of a very pregnant Tomoe working in the cold and snow to pickle Nozawana leaves (its hard to tell by the photo). This year it is not so cold and snowy and it is even later in the season. We picked this day because there was another TV camera man here.
Anyway, last year Tomoe had Mona in her tummy while pickling Nozawana. This year Mona stayed in the carriage we received from a neighbor. Both years worked out OK.
I also snagged a few photos of the chooks. They shag every day now (every hour of every day), so we are hoping for some chicks soon.


Flickering orange light and the roar of a train pulled her from her slumber. Sitting up, she gaped at the eerie glow dancing over her walls and sprung to her feet. She stared, watching in horror as flames engulfed the neighbor's house. Flames crept through windows to crawl up the siding as Tim's terrified face appeared in an upstairs window.
Grabbing the phone, she pushed 9 and 1, her fingers freezing before pressing the second 1. Her stomach turned as she remembered stumbling upon young Tim in the woods, years earlier. He hadn't heard her approach and she hid behind a tree meaning to scare him. Instead, she watched in horror as he doused a puppy with lighter fluid and set him ablaze. The next summer he cornered her in the park, asking if she had "ever seen a match burn twice." He ignited a match, blew it out held the hot tip on her arm. He did it twice more before she wiggled free and ran home. Her parents passed it off as kids being kids and warned her not to play with him again.
Over the years she had seen him hurt school mates and pets. His parents offered explanations for the untimely deaths of his pets and life went on. In the spring of 1998 his prom date ended up in the hospital. She claimed she was beaten, raped and left for dead on the tennis court. When questioned, by the police, Tim passed with flying colors. His date either didn't remember, or was too afraid to name him. She moved away after graduation and never returned. He went out late at night, she had seen him, always dressed in black. The next day he could be found in his drive, detailing his car.
As she watched the house burn, her mind returned to 2001. It was a warm spring night when she saw Tim and a date arrive at his house. When the girl hesitated he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into the garage, where her screaming stopped. She called 911, but a quick search of the house didn't turn up a girl or anything else out-of-place. The police treated her like a nosy neighbor. She realized Tim had abandoned humanity, feelings. love, right and wrong years ago.
He was an animal, a predator who found joy in inflicting pain. How many died? How many more would die? Turning her back to the flames, she returned the phone to the charger, letting the flames make the final judgement.
i used this pix to show that emotion doesn't change. War and reunions are as old as time.
She ran, her bustle slapping her ankles.
"When is the troop train due?" She yelled over the counter.
"What?" The elderly attendant yelled.
"That's it now!" he shouted.
Rushing to the platform, she studied the car doors, taking in every face. Wives hugged husbands and mothers clung to sons. She had no idea if he was on this train, but hope ran high.
When he emerged, pale and weak, she cried. Would he be the same?
Buzzing woke her, confusion greeted her. She was picking berries when the stinging rain came, now she was on her back. Looking left she gasped when she noticed the giant bee, Hearing her ringtone she ran through the overgrowth, tracking the sound until she bumped into a giant black box. Her phone had to be in there. Unable to find an opening she climbed on top, jumping when her background picture sprung to life.
Horror undulated down her spine when she realized she was standing on her phone, as big as a truck, and she was the freak.

Dragons return to winning ways with a 72 vs 65 vs Westminster Warriors
The Bradford Dragons made the long trip down the M1 for their second meeting of the year with the Westminster Warriors, a talented and athletic team who represent a threat for forty minutes of any game. Seconds after the opening tip Westminster forced a Dragons turnover with their aggressive defence and opened the scoring with an easy lay-up to go up 2-0.
The Dragons managed to settle down and play some good aggressive defence of their own in what was shaping up to be an 'up and down' fast paced high energy game. In a well officiated game in which both teams were allowed to play the defence was aggressive but proved an exciting game for the small home team crowd to watch. With nothing more than two points seperating the teams at the end of the first quarter the momentum belonged to the home team with a 18 - 16 point lead.
The Dragons started the second quarter the sharper of the two teams as they applied further pressure up the court and forced Westminster to commit a number of turnovers which led to easy points for the Dragons. The quarter was capped off with an emphatic put-back dunk from American forward Dan Foley which took the Dragons out to a 34 - 28 lead.
The third quarter was more of the same for the Dragons as they pushed their lead out to 51 - 41 with aggressive defence, good ball movement and all-round good team play.
The final quarter was a high scoring affair for both teams as Westminster came out pressing and running in an attempt to make up the deficit and although they managed to outscore the Dragons 24-21 in the quarter the final score saw the Dragons return home with their twelveth win of the EBL Division 1 season, 72-65. Top scorer for the Dragons was D. Foley with 23 points and 10 rebounds, R. Sulcs contributed with 12 points and A. Navarro 6 points.

Q: How can I use other heading styles like twiki ---+ or mediawiki == h2 == in org-mode? I really want to use org-mode.
But, I want to use org-mode to understand structured documents that have already been written using different heading syntax,
e.g. using twiki's ---+
---+ H1

Top level

---++ H2

Nested

---+ H1 #2

Second top level

Or mediawiki like
= H1 =

Top level

== H2 ==

Nested

= H1 #2 =

Second top level

I'd like to have all of the goodness of org-mode folding, etc., just using these different heading styles.

Actually, worse that that:
I would like, say, the twiki or mediawaiki headings to take priority over org mode asterisk headings.  But I would like to have both in use.
= H1 =
Top level

* this is a list
** nested
* list
** nested

== H2 ==

Nested

= H1 #2 =

Second top level

--+ What I have tried so far
I have been able to use outline mode to handle twiki,
for example via
---+ Emacs stuff
# try (defvar twiki-outline-regexp "---+\\++ \\|\\(\\(?:   \\)+\\)[0-9*] ")
Local Variables: ***
outline-regexp: "^---\\++" ***
org-outline-regexp: "^---\\++" ***
End: ***

However, org-outline-regexp doesn't do hwat I would hope.
emacs' outline-mode's out-level function looks almost exactly like what I want.
(defvar outline-level 'outline-level
  "*Function of no args to compute a header's nesting level in an outline.
It can assume point is at the beginning of a header line and that the match
data reflects the `outline-regexp'.")

i.e. instead of regexps, a generic function.
But I have not managed to make it work with org-mode.  It looks like org-mode does not really use this, or, rather, has other stuff.
;; In Org buffers, the value of `outline-regexp' is that of
;; `org-outline-regexp'.  The only function still directly relying on
;; `outline-regexp' is `org-overview' so that `org-cycle' can do its
;; job when `orgstruct-mode' is active.
(defvar org-outline-regexp "\\*+ "
  "Regexp to match Org headlines.")
(defconst org-outline-regexp-bol "^\\*+ "
  "Regexp to match Org headlines.
This is similar to `org-outline-regexp' but additionally makes
sure that we are at the beginning of the line.")

(defconst org-heading-regexp "^\\(\\*+\\)\\(?: +\\(.*?\\)\\)?[ \t]*$"
  "Matches an headline, putting stars and text into groups.
Stars are put in group 1 and the trimmed body in group 2.")

Failing this, well, the main thing that I want from org-mode is links, Asking another question here
How can I "linkify" a non-org-mode buffer in emacs

A: My frustration was simply that org-mode has different rules for what constitutes a new outline section than outline-mode does.  It requires a space after the asterisks, so it doesn't work on my extensive collection of notes, which forgo those spaces.
I resolved that by removing the trailing space in the not-well-documented org-outline-regexp variable, which is used to initialize the buffer-local variable outline-regexp, and that seems to be working for me.  E.g. (set-variable 'org-outline-regexp "\\*+")
As to your actual question, my guess is that other regexp's and code would have to change to handle radically different stuff like twiki or mediawiki headings.

Toyota allows customers to see inside C-HR model with AR Brandwidth initiative
By VR 360 | 5th March 2019 http://www.virtualreality-news.net/
Categories: Advertising, AR, Brands,
VR 360 is a news, analysis and opinion site devoted to virtual reality technology, promoting thought leadership from leading brands and platforms and collaborating with industry bloggers to deliver insight, reviews and strategy for all aspects of the ecosystem, from developers to CIOs.
London-based digital agency Brandwidth has created a new Toyota hybrid augmented reality (AR) application for Toyota GB, which will give Toyota customers an inside look of the car brand's C-HR model.
The application uses AR and objective recognition software to overlap graphics of the inside of the Hybrid drivetrain onto physical vehicles, which will help customers understand the working of the system through an iPad app that will be used in Toyota showrooms, and also at shopping centres and trade shows.
At present, the app supports the Toyota C-HR model across all grades and colours.
Stephen Duval, TCMS and direct marketing manager at Toyota, said: "As pioneers in the hybrid space, we wanted to find a way to help our customers understand how hybrid technology works, and demonstrate the many benefits it offers. This innovative new AR experience, created in partnership with Brandwidth, brings the C-HR's hybrid drivetrain to life in a simple yet highly engaging way."
In August last year, the Japanese automaker had invested $500 million into Uber's autonomous car initiative so that both will emerge as the leaders in the self-driving space. Both companies are way behind than other companies in the race of self-driving vehicles. But Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has set out the company's strategy to establish partnerships to develop vehicles rather than attempt to build its own. The carmaker had also invested $1 billion in Singapore-based ride-hailing company Grab, the first Southeast Asian technology startup to have achieved run rate revenues of over $1 billion across an installed mobile base of over 100 million users.

Martlets win with electrifying late-game heroics
Written by Adam Burton on October 29, 2019

The Martlet basketball team (4–4) defeated the visiting Acadia University Axewomen (1–2) on Nov. 22 by a resounding final score of 79–67. Despite strong defensive efforts from Acadia in the second half, the Martlets rallied to secure the win for a boisterous crowd.
The first quarter saw McGill take a 23–16 lead over Acadia. Fifth-year guard Gladys Hakizimana led the way with a quick eight points on three-for-three shooting, disheartening the Axewomen. The Martlets' defensive efforts were also strong, playing with a tenacity that forced four turnovers and limited the options for Acadia's post-centric offence.
In the second quarter, the Martlets furthered their lead with a more rebound-oriented offence. Fifth-year centre Sirah Diarra led these efforts, posting her second straight double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds and all four of the team's blocks. The Martlets tallied 45 against the Axewomen's 35 by the end of the half.
The dominance from the Martlets, however, did not last. Acadia came out in the second half with a rejuvenated defence that forced the Martlets to take ill-advised, off-balance, and contested shots toward the end of the shot clock. Their strong defence worked, and the Martlets only managed 10 points in the third quarter, all from three-pointers and free throws, with the Axewomen well on their way to tying the game.
"The girls they had were much bigger than me, and played really physical," Diarra said. "I needed to play stronger."
The game did not look good for the Martlets going into the fourth quarter. Only two points ahead of the Axewomen at 55–53, the Martlets had no momentum and seemingly few solutions for Acadia's physical defence. The crowd sat on the edge of their seats as the Axewomen chipped closer and closer to breaking the Martlet's lead. However, the closest they came was a 63–63 tie with 4:45 left in the quarter.
Hakizimana ultimately came to the rescue: She buried three soul-crushing threes to close out the game, rallying the team and inspiring chants of "defence" from the crowd.
"The fact that she made that big shot, it really set the tone for other players to play better too," Diarra said.
McGill closed out the game with sharp-shooting, going 53.3 per cent from the field, tallying a game high 24 points for the fourth quarter to reach a season-high 79 points and claim the victory over Acadia, 79–67. The late game heroics made for an electrifying experience for those in attendance and bodes well for the season to come.
"I'm excited to start the season, to see what the competition is like," Diarra said. "I know there's been a lot of additions to other teams, and I'm feeling really good about our season."
Midway through the fourth quarter, fifth-year guard Gladys Hakizimana hit a deep three to break the 63-63 tie. The shot rallied the team to go on a 16-point scoring run in the last five minutes of the game to close out the win.
"I think my favourite part of being on the team is just being with the girls. Every time we step out on the court, we're like family, I love them so much." – Fourth-year centre Sirah Diarra on team dynamics.
Stat Corner
The Martlets shot away Acadia's chance at winning with an incredibly efficient 46.6 per cent from the field and 45.8 per cent from behind the arc.

The arguments against the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship put forth by Donald Trump and other conservatives are, to borrow a descriptor oft-used by Trump himself, losers. Literally. Far from offering a bold new immigration reform plan that would "make America great again," Trump's plan recycles anti-immigrant ideas that were resoundingly defeated 150 years ago. In the process, he foolishly rejects values that are part of what makes America great in the first place.
Since its ratification in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment has guaranteed that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Just a decade before this language was added to our Constitution, the Supreme Court held in Dred Scott v. Sandford that persons of African descent could not be citizens under the Constitution. Our nation fought a civil war at least in part to repudiate the terrible error of Dred Scott and to secure, in the Constitution, citizenship for all persons born on U.S. soil, regardless of race, color, or parental origin.
When members of the Reconstruction Congress assembled to draft the birthright citizenship clause, they were writing against a backdrop of prejudice not only against African Americans, but also various immigrant communities, such as the Chinese in the West and Roma communities in the East. Much of the hostility against these 19th-century immigrants was similar to the resentment and distrust leveled at immigrants today: concern that immigrants would take away good jobs from U.S. citizens (while exhibiting a willingness to allow immigrants to take jobs perceived as undesirable); fear of waves of immigrants "invading" or overtaking existing American communities; and distrust of different cultures and languages.
The principles motivating the Framers of the Reconstruction Amendments, of which the Citizenship Clause is a part, suggest that we amend the Constitution to reject automatic citizenship at the peril of our core constitutional values. At the heart of the 14th Amendment is the fundamental belief that all people are born equal with inalienable rights, and, if born in the United States, are born equal citizens regardless of color, creed, or social status. It is no exaggeration to say that the 14th Amendment is the constitutional embodiment of the Declaration of Independence and lays the foundation for the American Dream. Because of the 14th Amendment, all American citizens are equal and equally American. Whether one's parents were rich or poor, saint or sinner, welcomed ancestors or weary migrants, the 14th Amendment proclaims that ours is a nation where an American child will be judged by his or her own deeds.
Back in the 1860s, after a brutal civil war, our country rejected the anti-birthright citizenship arguments that Trump and others are pushing today. That moment, and the changes to the Constitution that resulted, pushed our nation further along the arc of progress. Ending birthright citizenship, far from "making America great again," would betray our most fundamental values.

People who had come to India from Bangladesh through different entry points during the 1960s were given migration certificates.
Asom Sankhayalghu Sangram Parishad (ASSP) member protests against an alleged exclusion of Indian Citizen from NRC at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Saturday, Aug 4, 2018.
GUWAHATI : Hiralal Debnath, a resident of Rangaphali in Assam's Nalbari district, said he migrated to India in the 1960s due to religious persecution in the then east Pakistan.
He entered through Tripura and had a migration certificate. But, his name is not there in the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) as his migration certificate sent to Tripura for verification has yet to return.
People who had come to India from Bangladesh (the then east Pakistan) through different entry points during the 1960s were given migration certificates. During the NRC process, many had submitted this as a documentary proof of their stay in India.
The NRC process requires this certificate to be verified by the state through which the person entered India.
In the same village, which is 80 km from Guwahati, nonagenarian Pushpalata Devi is unable to figure out why her name is not in the draft NRC.
NRC coordinator Prateek Hajela said the draft NRC had kept out the names of doubtful voters and their descendants and the people whose references were pending at the foreigners' tribunal and their descendants. These account for 2.48 lakh people.
In another case, Ratan Debnath said he was cleared as an Indian citizen by the foreigners' tribunal in 2016. His name is also missing from the NRC.

Die Sauk Rapids Bridge war eine 172 Meter lange, zwölf Meter breite gespannte Bogenbrücke in Stahlfachwerkbauweise, die den Mississippi River überspannte und die Städte St. Cloud und Sauk Rapids im US-Bundesstaat Minnesota verband.

Sie wurde 1942 errichtet und durch das Minnesota Department of Transportation entworfen. Die Brücke hatte drei Felder, die von zwei Pfeilern gestützt wurden. Das Bauwerk, dessen maximale Spannweite etwa 53 Meter betrug, überquerte den Mississippi River etwa 700 Meter unterhalb der Stromschnellen des Sauk Rivers. Der Fluss strömt an dieser Stelle noch schnell und das Wasser ist aufgewühlt.

Durch die Fertigstellung und Inbetriebnahme der Sauk Rapids Regional Bridge am 23. Oktober 2007 wurde die Sauk Rapids Bridge für den Verkehr geschlossen. Im November begann der Abbruch der alten Brücke.

Nach dem Einsturz der Interstate-35W-Mississippi-River-Brücke in Minneapolis am 1. August 2007 hatte der Gouverneur Minnesotas, Tim Pawlenty die Überprüfung der Sauk Rapids Bridge angeordnet. Bei der Brücke, die ein ähnliches Konstruktionsprinzip wie die eingestürzte aufwies, wurden keine Probleme festgestellt.

About Us – Maule Flight, Inc.
Maule Flight started as a vision that Ray & Rautgunde Maule developed in 1970 as a natural offshoot from the growing Maule Aircraft business started by his father, B.D. Maule, in the 1950's. Ray & Rautgunde started the business in Michigan, just as B.D. did with Maule Aircraft, and later moved to Moultrie, Georgia in 1978. Finally settling in their current facility in 1985, a huge World War II-era hangar, located at the former Spence Field Air Force Base, just down the ramp from the Maule factory.
They envisioned a business that was more than just a dealership operated out of a home or hangar. They wanted a full-service distributorship which could serve any need the Maule customer may have. This vision resulted in the Maule Flight of today.
They focused not only on sales of new Maules, but used Maules as well. Not content with selling used planes "as is", they wanted to have the ability to completely repair, refurbish, and restore the planes for their customers. They wanted a facility that was large and well-equipped enough to rebuild a Maule from the ground up. This is when they hired their son-in-law Kit Wilkes.
Randy Terry has been working for Maule Flight for over 23 years. He has been trained by Kit, specializing in many areas of Maule maintenance.
Rautgunde Maule is the owner of Maule Flight. She handles sales, administration, and the day-to-day operation of the company. Her daughter Michelle Wilkes also works with her helping to serve our customers' needs and many other business aspects of the company.
The Maule Flight family has helped thousands of Maule owners get the most out of their flying experience. Maule Flight stands apart as the most unique and specialized Maule dealership.

Massachusetts Court Affirms Verdict Against Drunk Driver, Despite Passenger's Arguments that Second Motorist Was Also Liable – Cass v. Collins
During a jury trial, the judge is required to make a variety of rulings – beginning with the procedure for the selection of the jury and ending with a review of whether the jury's verdict was supported by the evidence.
A party aggrieved by a decision of the trial court judge may file an appeal and ask a higher court to review the trial judge's decisions.
In the recent (unreported) case of Cass v. Collins, the plaintiff was a woman who was hurt in a car accident that she alleged resulted from the negligence of the defendants, who were the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding and the driver of the car with which the first car collided. A jury trial resulted in a verdict against the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding and in favor of the driver of the other car. The plaintiff appealed.
Decision of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Appeals Court
The court affirmed the lower court's entry of judgment on the jury's verdict. On appeal, the plaintiff argued that the trial court erred in placing certain limitations on the voir dire process, that the trial judge made mistakes in some of his rulings on the admission of certain evidence, and that the verdict in favor of the driver of the second car was against the weight of the evidence. The court rejected all of the arguments.
The court first noted that it was within the province of the jury to find that the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding had been drinking tequila before the accident, and she testified that she did see the other driver's headlights before pulling out into traffic. It was not an abuse of discretion for evidence of the driver's consumption of alcohol prior to driving with passengers late at night to be admitted at trial because this was "patently relevant" to whether she exercised reasonable care while driving.
It was likewise not erroneous for the trial court to reject the attempted stipulation of the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding that she was negligent and that this was a cause of the accident because the trial court found that the driver had not entered the stipulation knowingly and intelligently with a full understanding of the legal requirements to prove a case against her.
With regard to the plaintiff's complaints about voir dire, the court decided on appeal that there had been no substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice with respect to jury selection. Although the trial judge placed some limits on the process, the plaintiff was allowed to ask as many as five or six questions of the potential jurors.
It may seem a bit odd that the plaintiff appealed, even though a verdict was entered against the drunk driver of the car in which she was riding. However, it may have been that this driver was uninsured or had only minimal liability limits. A verdict against the other driver would likely have meant that the plaintiff would have recovered more compensation, due to increased insurance coverage.

Kartläggning av strukturen hos stabila strängvakuum
Tidsperiod: 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31
Projektledare: Magdalena Larfors

Budget: 2 920 000 SEK
The framework of string compactifications is of undisputed importance to connect string theory to the physics of our world, and has promoted progress in fields ranging from quantum gravity and cosmology, through black holes, to condensed matter physics.The key objectives of this proposal is to chart the mathematical structure and physical properties of the ground states of string theory. The project relies on a systematic exploration of diverse classes of string vacua, including settings that have previously been out of reach due to technical limitations. Novel tools developed by the applicant will be applied to construct these new types of compactifications, and determine their geometrical features. Next, algebraic geometry and machine learning will be used to determine the particle physics and cosmology of different classes of string models. In parallel, formal studies will test dualities and interconnections between vacua.The research program will open up new arenas for formal and phenomenological studies of string theory. This has great potential to identify realistic string vacua, a clear step beyond the state of the art, which would prove that string theory is key to understanding our universe. The project will also allow to test recent conjectures for the high-energy consistency of leading models for cosmology and particle physics. Furthermore, progress in mathematical fields such as differential and generalised geometry is expected to follow from these studies.


Donald Trump appeared to invent a terrorist attack in Sweden during a campaign-style rally in Florida on Saturday, inviting questions that he may have confused the Scandinavian country with a city in Pakistan.
There were questions about whether Trump had confused Sweden with Sehwan in Pakistan, where more than 85 people were killed in a suicide bombing at the Sufi shrine on Thursday.
Sweden's foreign ministry spokeswoman, Catarina Axelsson, said the government wasn't aware of any "terror-linked major incidents".
She told the Associated Press that the Swedish embassy in Washington contacted the State Department on Sunday to request clarification of Trump's remarks and was waiting for an answer.
Trump's comments come after Kellyanne Conway, one of his senior advisers, was ridiculed for blaming two Iraqi refugees for a massacre that never happened.
At the start of February Conway cited the fictitious "Bowling Green massacre" in an interview backing the travel ban imposed on visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Two Iraqi men living in Bowling Green, Kentucky, were arrested in 2011 over a failed attempt to send money and weapons to al-Qaida in Iraq. They are currently serving life sentences for federal terrorism offences, but there was no massacre, nor were they accused of planning one.
On 29 January, the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, referred three times to an attack in Atlanta – where a string of bombings were carried out in 1996 and 1997.
Later, in an email to ABC News, he wrote that he "clearly meant Orlando".
Forty-nine people were killed and more injured in the attack at Pulse, a gay nightclub in the Floridian city in June. It was carried out by Omar Mateen, a US citizen born in New York to Afghan parents. Afghanistan is not on the list of countries under Trump's travel ban.
After Trump's remarks in Florida, the Swedish news outlet Aftonbladet posted a story about crime that really had occurred in Sweden on Friday. Non-fake news it ran included: "Due to harsh weather in northern parts of Sweden the road E10 was closed between Katterjakk and Riksgransen" and "a man died in hospital, after an accident in the workplace earlier that day".
Thoughts are with everyone in Sweden at this difficult time.

Complaints about individual registered health practitioners where the investigation has found sufficient evidence to consider disciplinary action are referred to the Director of Proceedings. Such complaints may involve allegations of impairment, unsatisfactory professional conduct and/or professional misconduct.
As a first step, the Director of Proceedings independently determines whether a complaint should be prosecuted. The independence of the Director of Proceedings is set out in section 90D of the Health Care Complaints Act. The Director of Proceedings is required to consult with the relevant health professional Council about its views before determining whether to prosecute a complaint before a disciplinary body.
The Commission can issue public statements in relation to unregistered health practitioners where it finds a breach of the code of conduct for unregistered health practitioners.
The Commission can also warn the public about a treatment or health service where it believes that this service poses a risk to public health and safety.
In NSW, complaints about medical practitioners and nurses and midwives can be prosecuted before two disciplinary forums - the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal or Professional Standards Committees. Complaints about other registered health practitioner may be prosecuted before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal or can be the subject of an inquiry of the relevant NSW health professional Council. The Commission is not a party to an inquiry of a Council.
In general, the Commission's decisions in relation to individual complaints are confidential and not made public. The persons and bodies involved in a particular complaint are notified of the Commission's decision in writing.
When an investigation has substantiated significant issues in relation to a registered health practitioner, the Commission may consider disciplinary proceedings. Practitioners may be prosecuted before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal or a Professional Standards Committee. The outcomes of disciplinary proceedings before both disciplinary bodies are generally publicly available.


Bill (Japanese: マサキ Masaki) is a Supporter card. It was first released in Base Set as a Trainer card.
This card was included in the Base Set, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection expansions, as well as the Japanese Neo Introduction Set. It was later reclassified as a Supporter card with new artwork by the same artist as one of the P Promotional cards, and was available as an insert with Volume 13 of Pokémon Card Trainers magazine, released in September 2001. This print was never released in English; however, it was reprinted again with the Supporter classification in the HeartGold & SoulSilver with new artwork by the same artist. This print was subsequently available in the Gyarados Half Deck of the English HS Trainer Kit, as well as the Japanese Steelix and Tyranitar Constructed Standard Decks.
The Japanese P Promotional print has the card ID Z-05, a feature of the majority of cards from the e-Card Era. This print lacks any Dot Code strips, instead featuring the Pokémon Web logo.
This card has exactly the same effect as Mom's Kindness. This particularity allows for 8 cards of the same effect to be in a deck.
Bill is the inventor of the Pokémon Storage System in the Pokémon games.

Today was an ocean day. We walked along the shimmering mystic sea. It's very different than the Pacific ocean; it's much greener and glitters more. It is surprisingly warm. In fact as we were walking along the beach, we stumbled upon a swimming area with a diving board and all. Clara and I decided to  jump in and I'm **so** glad we did. The diving board was about 15-20 feet high and the water was refreshing and delicious. It felt every bit as wonderful as it looked! Mame did yoga, including a headstand on the beach, while we scavenged for shells. The ocean was so magical that I could almost imagine a mermaid slithering out onto the rocks by the light of the moon.

Superjet Applies Power to Overcome U.S. Trade Restrictions

Ten years after the Sukhoi Superjet 100 won type certification, the Kremlin is trying to breathe a new life into the program by spending Rouble 130 billion ($1.83 billion) on the development of a version with reduced foreign content called the Superjet-New. Half of the sum will go to the indigenous PD-8 turbofan, meant to replace the PowerJet SAM.146 now appearing on current production airplanes.
Schedules call for the development of the SSJ-New to end in 2022. Both the airplane and engine would gain certification a year later and enter commercial service in 2024.
The need in the Superjet-New arises from the fact that Sukhoi cannot sell current production airplanes to states affected by Western economic sanctions such as Iran and Syria.
Historically, the Russian Regional Jet (RRJ) effort, later rebranded Superjet, arose from an idea to create an internationally competitive airliner by mating a Russian airframe with Western systems. The aircraft would thus embody the best of the two worlds, with Sukhoi contributing its vast extensive expertise in airframes and flight control algorithms.
The idea worked to some extent, as 183 aircraft have undergone assembly so far, of which 154 remain in operation with about 2 million flight hours logged, according to the manufacturer. In reality, however, the active fleet is somewhat smaller due to the effect of Covid-19 on airlines. For instance, the largest type operator outside Russia has recently canceled all flights; Interjet of Mexico used to operate 22 SSJ100Bs, of which 16 remain grounded.
But even before the pandemic, the program experienced difficulties, never achieving a desired manufacturing rate of 60 airframes annually. Production spiked twice, at 36 in 2014 and at 33 in 2017. The pandemic reduced the output to 18 in 2019, 11 in 2020, and 10 in 2021.
Although the type failed to attract much interest in the global market, it became popular with domestic carriers. Aeroflot group operates 58 SSJ100s, Azimuth and Yamal 15 each, GazpromAvia 10, and Red Wings seven. Over the past three years, Aeroflot and its affiliate Rossiya signed for a total of 115 SSJ100s due for delivery by 2027. Red Wings added 59 and Azimuth firm orders for 27 and "soft" commitments for another 15.
While the demand in the domestic market proved relatively high, that from abroad did not, even from what the West considers pariah states. In 2018, Iran Air Tours and Iran Aseman signed for a total of 40 airplanes. But the Persian order stalled in 2019, after the U.S. refused to grant Sukhoi an export clearance. Today, more than half of a Superjet's content comes from outside Russia. The U.S. content exceeds 10 percent, which is the threshold set by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Furthermore, the airplane carries some critical U.S. technologies in its onboard systems supplied by European vendors.
To bypass the obstacle, Sukhoi proposed the SSJ100R, which would have lowered the U.S. share to a passable level. Later, the manufacturer dropped the plan in favor of an almost completely indigenous version. In December 2020 it applied to the Russian civil aviation authorities with a request to conduct certification of the RRJ-95NEW-100 (aka Superjet-New), describing it as a major design change to the 2010 type certification.
The KRET Corporation continues work on completely indigenous avionics set by repackaging technology developed for the Irkut MC-21 narrowbody, while the Ramenskoye design house plays the role of system integrator. As a part of the effort, the OKBM experimental design bureau in Voronezh developed a control system module responsible for the wing's deflectable surfaces. Plans call for a completely new control system to be ready in 2022.
Meanwhile, the most expensive and technologically challenging part of the Superjet-New effort lies with the PD-8. To cut development time and costs, developers decided to keep the existing SAM.146 cold section developed by NPO Saturn in Rybinsk. At the same time, a Russian engine core based on that powering the PD-14 for the MC-21 would replace the Snecma DEM.21 engine core in the SAM.146.
Because of its partnership with General Electric in CFM, Snecma cannot independently produce engines with a thrust range occupied by the CFM56 and Leap family. Therefore, the most powerful 1S18 version of the baseline SaM146 delivers 17,416 pounds of thrust. It powers the long-range "LR" variant introduced in 2012.
The SSJ-100LR has a gross weight of 109,016 pounds, as opposed to 101,146 pounds for the initial SSJ100-95B, allowing for a range of 2,470 nm versus 1,645 nm. Both "LR" and "B" versions share the same fuselage with a factory standard cabin for 98 passengers or 108 in a high-density layout. Since NPO Saturn carries no obligations on engine power, it plans to produce PD-8s rated between eight and 10 tons. Potentially, that would give the Superjet a further increase in range, as well as allow for a stretch version seating more passengers.
The PD-8 first appeared at Moscow's MAKS'2021 air show in the form of an experimental gas generator. Its datasheet lists dry weight at 1,690 kg (3,726 lb), or 18 kg less than that for the SAM146-1S18, and a 3 percent improvement in specific fuel consumption in cruise. The PD-8 will also power the Beriev Be-200 amphibian.

Although delivery is a physiological process that is experienced by all expecting females, there comes with it a considerable change in the biological, psychological and social balance. Sometimes this change is akin to an earthquake in the life of the woman if it is not preceded, accompanied and followed by enough health care – psychological and social. The degrees of that effect on women vary from one person to another. We see that some women pass this time smoothly and simply giving an impression that delivery is a natural physiological change. On the other hand, we also notice the indications of a real crisis which precedes, accompanies or follows the delivery in other cases.
It is very important to know the limits and types of postpartum disorder through doctors or even through common people. People who suffer from some of these disorders simply need to be assured, while other disorders require the patient to be admitted to hospital.
In this article, Dr. Muhammad Mahdi, a psychiatric consultant, discusses the indications of these disorders.
This is considered a state of illness and occurs among 50% of the women after delivery. This case begins a few days after delivery and lasts for some days, and is characterized by having a state of depression, a bad mood, frequent crying, feelings of fatigue, worry, angry outbursts and a desire to depend heavily upon others. The severity of these symptoms decreases with time and the mother then goes back to her normal state. This is due to rapid hormonal changes, the pressure of delivery and the woman's awareness of the increase of her responsibilities which motherhood necessitates. This case requires nothing except assuring the mother and psychologically and socially supporting her until she is over these feelings.
She was a student at the faculty of Law and she knew an engineer whom she insisted on marrying in spite of her family's refusal due to the social differences and the notoriety of this man. The girl underwent a state of depression during the engagement. The family of the girl attributed this to the problems which accompanied the engagement. This state lasted for about two months and ended with the use of some folk medicine. When the girl married, she found that her husband, whom she had preferred to her family, was treating her very badly. He would leave her alone all the time crying over her misfortune. When he came home, he did not do anything but neglect and insult her. In the meantime, none of her relatives visited her because the tension of the relation between them and the husband. When she became pregnant, she suffered from continuous vomiting, inability to undertake her household chores, loss of appetite, continuous insomnia, and severe deterioration of her health. When she asked him to allow her mother to stay with her for some time until she would get better, he totally refused. Accordingly, she tolerated these conditions unwillingly until she gave birth to her child.
Two weeks after the delivery, her mother-in-law noticed that she was in a strange state; she was frequently absent minded. She would sit for long durations of time without moving and then become very worried and nervous without any clear justification. She stopped eating and sleeping at night or day; sometimes she cried and at other times she screamed. There was no one beside her at that time except her mother-in-law for her husband insisted on preventing her family from visiting her. Her husband tried to help her by bringing some folk healers, yet her state became worse. They noticed that she looked angrily at her child throwing him about violently from her arms. At this point, her mother-in-law took the child in order to protect him from his disturbed mother.
Her mother-in-law went to the market to buy some things and left the child in a room beside the mother's room. When the mother-in-law returned from the market, she found that the mother had taken the child to the kitchen and slaughtered him with a knife.
I apologize to the reader if this incident was terrifying, but this was a real case which I saw and received at the hospital myself when he was about to die. This mother was arrested after the incident and detained for some days in order to investigate the crime. During these days, everybody was disgusted with her because of her atrocious act. No one can bear seeing someone killing an innocent child and therefore she felt alienated and disgusted among her prison inmates and from many of the supervisors in the prison. She stopped eating and drinking or was perhaps prevented from doing so by others due to them thinking that she was a criminal who did what she did intentionally. She was in a very bad condition and was then moved to a hospital where she received many physical and psychological treatments until she finally got better. This was an example of postpartum psychosis. This disorder requires the attention of gynecologists, a family counselor, psychiatrists and those who need to be around the patient due to the dangerous nature of this case.
There is no doubt that delivery causes psychological pressure; it is not only because of the pain and difficulty of delivery, but the mother also suffers throughout the months of pregnancy and then reaches its climax at the point of delivery. She spends many sleepless and uncomfortable nights. Then, she is surprised to find a child beside her who needs care. She spends the night awake and his needs are endless. These pressures are intensified if she does not have a natural delivery, such as a caesarean or complicated delivery.
After delivery, there is a rapid decrease in the level of estrogen and progesterone and this unbalances the biological state for some time.
This occurs if the woman lives in a disturbed relation with her husband or his family, undergoes pressure at work or suffers from previous psychological disorders that were not successfully treated. Sometimes, the mother refuses pregnancy and accordingly rejects the child because she does not want to become a mother due to the psychological problems that she has, or due to getting married to someone who she does not feel comfortable with or due to her fear of the responsibilities of motherhood. Some researches have discovered that marital disputes during pregnancy increase the risk of being subjected to postpartum psychosis.
Such as pre-eclampsia or taking certain medications. This illness is preceded by some inceptive symptoms, such as, insomnia, discomfort, restlessness, angry outbursts and inability to concentrate. Then, the symptoms appear, such as severe depression, hypomania, awareness disorders, absence of concentration, disorder of realization, memory and thinking, the appearance of some aberrations such as thinking that she is still a virgin or that she did not give birth and that the child is not her own or that he is a devil. She may also sometimes get hallucinations like hearing a sound telling her that she should kill herself or her child to relieve him from the suffering of the this life, and disorders in moving. These symptoms are mostly accompanied by confusion of consciousness, doubts and obsessions over the well-being and health of the child.
This matter should be taken seriously when the case is diagnosed since it is a psychological emergency. It is important to place the patient in a mental hospital if her psychological health deteriorates or if she is inclined to commit suicide or to harm her child. The child should be placed under the care of one of the relatives and the mother should be allowed to see him every now and then under complete supervision so that she does not have a chance to harm her child. These cases can be successfully treated through anti-depressants and lithium; sometimes, the antis of psychosis are added. In severe cases, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used. After the elimination of the severe symptoms, the patient can be helped through psychological treatment where the psychological and social problems are discovered, and then she is psychologically supported and helped to accept her new role as a mother.
