Siple Island, Antarctica
Age of rock
Marie Byrd Land Volcanic Province
Mount Siple is a potentially active Antarctic shield volcano, rising to 3,110 metres (10,203 ft) and dominating the northwest part of Siple Island, which is separated from the Bakutis Coast, Marie Byrd Land, by the Getz Ice Shelf.[4] Its youthful appearance strongly suggests that it last erupted in the Holocene. It is capped by a 4-by-5-kilometre (2.5 mi × 3.1 mi) summit caldera, and tuff cones lie on the lower flanks.[2] Recely Bluff is on the northeast slope of the mountain, about 7 nautical miles (13 km) from the peak. Its volume of 1,800 cubic kilometres (430 cu mi) is comparable to that of Mount Erebus.
Mount Siple is named after Paul A. Siple (1908–68), a US Antarctic explorer and geographer who took part in six Antarctic expeditions, including the two Byrd expeditions of 1928-30 and 1933-35 (Siple Coast, Siple Island). He was in command of the West Base of the US Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, and was navigator on all major exploratory flights from the base, including the flight on which Mount Siple was discovered.[4]
Adele Penguins nest on the side of Mount Siple
The volcano was visited in February 2017 as part of the Swiss Polar Institute's Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition. Al Jazeera English Science and Technology editor Tarek Bazley was on board and filed a news report on his visit to a colony of Adele penguins breeding there.[5][6]

Rosneft Chief Seeks Tax Breaks
By The Moscow Times

SOCHI — The Finance Ministry on Friday rejected proposals from Rosneft to reduce export duties for its Vankor oil deposit, saying the Siberian project already enjoys a discounted rate.
"The internal rate of return for Vankor is 17 percent — it is quite a sufficient premium," Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Shatalov said in Sochi.
Rosneft's newly appointed president, Eduard Khudainatov, had asked the government earlier Friday to lower the duty for Vankor, allowing Rosneft to step up investment in the huge oil field in East Siberia.
"If it is possible to lower [the rate] to at least $100 [per ton] for the next two years, we would be able to provide investments for Vankor that would bring 250 billion rubles [$8 billion] of tax revenues annually to the state," Khudainatov told reporters.
Russian oil companies are lobbying for a more benign tax regime so that they are able to invest in production and exploration as output at mature West Siberian fields declines.
On Thursday, Vedomosti reported that Rosneft's powerful chairman, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, had asked Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to extend tax breaks on Vankor until the end of 2013.
Khudainatov later said in an interview to Reuters that the export duties on East Siberian fields were likely to be increased from 2011 to the level for the rest of the country's crude deposits.
Vankor, Russia's largest oil development, and other oil fields in East Siberia had enjoyed exemption from the export duty until July 1, when a discounted rate was imposed as the government seeks to narrow a budget gap.
A normal rate for Vankor next year could cut Rosneft's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by about 20 percent from the level under the exemption, Lev Snykov and Svetlana Grizan, oil analysts at VTB Capital, said in June.
The export duty on crude from East Siberian fields is to fall by 5.9 percent to $82.17 per ton for next month. Export fees for other fields will fall about 3 percent to $266.5 per ton.
Khudainatov also said his company would like the state to introduce a zero export duty for a smaller field, the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye — which Rosneft plans to launch in 2013 — for the next five years.
"Calculations are ready and submitted to the government. Difficult discussions with the Economic Development Ministry are under way," he said.
The state-controlled producer has said it may delay the start of commercial output at the deposit until it gains clarity on how the government will tax the project.
The government plans to consider possible tax breaks for the field before the end of September, Shatalov said.
Earlier this month, Khudainatov, a former first deputy president, took over from Sergei Bogdanchikov, who had run the company since late 1990s and oversaw its spectacular rise to the top spot among Russian oil firms.
His plans for Rosneft include hiring new staff and considering projects in Iraq to further production growth. The company is working on a business plan and will present it at the end of September, Khudainatov said.
"Life doesn't stand still," Khudainatov told reporters. "If we want to raise the bar even higher for the company's development of oil production and refining, of course there may be a need to renew staff and attract world-class specialists."
Rosneft has pursued potential cooperation with Crescent Petroleum in Iraq. In June, the companies agreed on a drilling venture in the United Arab Emirate sheikdom of Sharjah. The Russian producer is also developing a concession in Algeria and helping with fields of heavy oil in Venezuela.
"We are discussing" possible projects in Iraq, Khudainatov said, without elaborating.
Rosneft expects to pump 118 million metric tons of crude this year, Khudainatov said, up from 116.3 million tons last year, according to the Energy Ministry.

1. You Will Burn More Fat If You Exercise Longer at a Lower Intensity. The most important focus in exercise and fat weight control is not the percentage of exercise energy coming from fat but the total energy cost, or how many calories are burned during the activity. The faster you walk, step or run, for example, the more calories you use perminute. However, high-intensity exercise is difficult to sustain if you are just beginning or returning to exercise, so you may not exercise very long at this level. It is safer, and more practical, to start out at a lower intensity and work your way up gradually.
2. If You're Not Going to Work Out Hard and Often, Exercise Is a Waste ofTime. This kind of thinking keeps a lot of people from maintaining or even starting an exercise program. Research continues to show that any exercise is better than none. For example, regular walking or gardening for as little as an hour a week has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.
5.Exercise Is One Sure Way to Lose All the Weight You Desire. As with all responses to exercise, weight gain or loss is impacted by many factors, including dietary intake and genetics. All individuals will not lose the same amount of weight on the same exercise program. It is possible to be active and overweight. However, although exercise alone cannot guarantee your ideal weight, regular physical activity is one of the most important factors for successful long-term weight management.
6.If You Want to Lose Weight, Stay Away From Strength Training Because You WillBulk Up. Most exercise experts believe that cardiovascular exercise and strength training are both valuable for maintaining a healthy weight. Strength training helps maintain muscle mass and decrease body fat percentage.
7. Water Fitness Programs Are Primarily for Older People or Exercisers WithInjuries. Recent research has shown that water fitness programs can be highly challenging and effective for both improving fitness and losing weight. Even top athletes integrate water fitness workouts into their training programs.
8. The Health and Fitness Benefits of Mind-Body Exercise Like Tai Chi and Yoga AreQuestionable. In fact, research showing the benefits of these exercises continues to grow. Tai chi, for example, has been shown to help treat low-back pain and fibromyalgia. Improved flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, strength and stress management are just some of the potential results of mind-body exercise.
9. Overweight People Are Unlikely to Benefit Much From Exercise . Studies show that obese people who participate in regular exercise programs have a lower risk of all-cause mortality than sedentary individuals, regardless of weight. Both men and women of all sizes and fitness levels can improve their health with modest increases in activity.
10. Home Workouts Are Fine, But Going to a Gym Is the Best Way to Get Fit. Research has shown that some people find it easier to stick to a home-based fitness program. In spite of all the hype on trendy exercise programs and facilities, the "best" program for you is the one you will participate in consistently.

Q: Sum up multiple rows to just 1 row I have this result from an api that returns x rows and i want to convert it to just 1 row.
It will add equipmentOrdered, quantity, and services. I am using typescript in angular. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
 {id: "1", equipmentOrdered: "Monitor", quantity: 2, services: "Maintenance", channelPo: "testest", customerPo:" abc"}
 {id: "1", equipmentOrdered: "Keyboard", quantity: 1, services: "Cleaning", channelPo: "testest",  customerPo:" abc"}
 {id: "1", equipmentOrdered: "Mouse", quantity: 2, services: "Software maintenance", channelPo: "testest", customerPo:" abc"}
 {id: "1", equipmentOrdered: "Video Card", quantity: 1, services: "Debug", channelPo: "testest",  customerPo:" abc"}
 {id: "2", equipmentOrdered: "Keyboard", quantity: 2, services: "Software maintenance", channelPo: "testest", customerPo:" abc"}
 {id: "2", equipmentOrdered: "Video Card", quantity: 1, services: "Debug", channelPo: "testest",  customerPo:" abc"}

Like this:
{id : "1", equipmentOrdered: "Monitor and 3 more", quantity: 6, services: "Maintenance and 3 more", channelPo: "testest",  customerPo:" abc"}
{id : "2", equipmentOrdered: "Keyboard and 2 more", quantity: 3, services: "Software maintenance and 1 more", channelPo: "testest",  customerPo:" abc"}

EDIT:
 getCustomPo(tenantId) {
      this._purchaseOrderService.getCustomPurchaseOrder(tenantId).subscribe({
        next: res => { this.customPo = res  },
        error: err => console.log(err)
      })
  }

A: I would use a BehaviorSubject to store the return data. And then use a pipe() operator to reduce the array into the object you want.
Something like this...
// interface to define the objects from the API call
export interface IMyPo {
  id: string,
  equipmentOrdered: string,
  quantity: number,
  services: string,
  channelPo: string,
  customerPo: string
}

// some.component.ts
customPo = new BehaviorSubject<IMyPo[]>(null); // set the default value
customPoAggregate: Observable<IMyPo>;

ngOnInit(){
  // set up another Observable to subsribe to
  this.customPoAggregate = this.customPo.pipe(
    filter(d => !!d) //only process non-nulls
    map(cpos => copos.reduce((aggregate, item, index, set) => {
      return {
        id: item.id,
        equipmentOrdered: aggregate.equipmentOrdered + ', ' + item.equipmentOrdered,
        quantity: 0 + aggregate.quantity + item.quantity,
        services: aggregate.services + ', ' + item.services,
        channelPo: item.channelPo,
        customerPo: item.customerPo,
      }
    }, {}))
  );
}
getCustomPo(tenantId) {
    this._purchaseOrderService.getCustomPurchaseOrder(tenantId).subscribe({
      next: res => { this.customPo.next(res) }, // add a new value to the B.Subject
      error: err => console.log(err)
    })
}

Now, in your html, you can subscribe to the aggregated data with an async pipe. And, whenever you update the source BehaviorSubject, the aggregate will update.
// some.component.html
<div>{{customPoAggregate  | async}}</div>

review: "for rhinestones only!!" by it's so easy.
great produce and great price!
i'm not sure if sally's ships worldwide? i checked their website and i wasn't too sure? so i'm sorry i can't you tell about that. :/ but i'm 80% positive that that will ship to you. i wish it were clearer.
but i'm sure if you search on google, a website is bound to turn up.
the odor is actually pretty strong inside the bottle. smells like nail polish remover mixed with glue and nail polish. however, you can't smell anything when you apply this on your nails, which is great. no one wants so smell that!
the color is actually that purple color you see, but it's clear when you pull it out with the brush and apply it, like a regular base or top coat.
although not shown in this post (because i opened it weeks ago and forgot to take pictures), the packaging is actually colorful for a nail product. it's not in one of those plastic boxes. i don't know how to describe it, but it comes in a flat rectangular package with an indent for the product. (??) and it had the colorful instructions with it!
the actual bottle is a cylinder container, so the top is always alined with the sides. yay! i don't know how to explain it but the best that i can do is that it's easy to hold?? like, it's actually a pretty big bottle, compared to other nail polish bottles.
dries quickly, so you have to work at a fast pace. and does a fantastic job, applies smoothly.
but with this product, my nail beads will last for quite a while, as i've said above. but it also depends on who hard you work your hands/nails.
i use it as a base, apply my rhinestones, and that i add another coat of this stuff on top! i also apply a coat of my regular top coat on all of my nails. but if your rhinestone doesn't lay flat on your nail, it's obviously going to come off way quicker, so be aware of that. i would apply a little bit more of "for rhinestones only".
base coat → 2 coats of polish → "for rhinestones only" → studs → "for rhinestones only" → 1 coat top coat.
if interested, my nail polish is from forever21 and the studs are from bornpretty.


The latest teaser image of Gundam Build Fighters has been released (June 11, 2014) with 3 GunPla standing on GP base.
Are we going to see some remodeled Destiny Gundam now? Maybe Sei would name it Build Destiny Gundam... hmm, maybe? no...that should be the Build Strike Cosmos.
***Basing on its back skirt, the pointy features of it looks something like Destiny Gundam's.
The one on the right looks like a modified Xi Gundam, basing on its shoulder armor, but I see a Bawoo on that model too, maybe a mix of both?

Super High Quality
by Steven Arroyo
The first live album from the Philadelphia band feels loose and sounds immaculate, cementing their status as one of the premier live bands of their generation.
There's a phenomenon at the heart of the War on Drugs' music called the crossover: the point when one moment folds into another. You can hear it in most of their songs. Sometimes it's evoked in their steady-marching swells, which can sound like the last sliver of rooftop fading out of focus in the U-Haul's rearview mirror, or the last flicker of candlelight atop a birthday cake. Often it's more literal: the point when Adam Granduciel sings his last word and the song's grand, several-minute-long outro begins.
The crossover is all over the Philadelphia band's first-ever live album, which captures them at the end of a metamorphosis. Before releasing their 2014 breakthrough, Lost in the Dream, which sped their graduation from small rooms to huge festivals, the War on Drugs were a four-piece touring group that excelled at making those small rooms feel enormous. Their rise in popularity precipitated their upgrade to a bigger lineup, which now includes baritone sax player Jon Natchez, multi-instrumentalist Anthony LaMarca, and mean-mugging drummer Charlie Hall in addition to Granduciel and longstanding members Dave Hartley on bass and Robbie Bennett on keys. LIVE DRUGS comprises recordings from tours behind Lost in the Dream and its follow-up, 2017's A Deeper Understanding, as they found their footing as a six-piece between 2014 and 2019, documenting their evolution as a live band and their solidification into a Live Band.
The decision by Granduciel and co-producer, guitar tech, and stage manager Dominic East to pick recordings from such a large sample ensures that LIVE DRUGS always sounds immaculate. It has an especially muscular low end—and not just Hartley's bass. Hearing Natchez's baritone sax captured so cleanly in such a deep register almost makes it hard to believe that it could be a wind instrument. When Bennett strikes a couple low piano chords to accompany Granduciel's first words of "Pain"—"Go to bed now I can tell/Pain is on the way out now"—it offsets the storm clouds around him as immediately as a weighted blanket.
Granduciel is a much different vocalist in the live setting than he is on record: more punctuated, less delicate, and even a little less melodic. His soloing, meanwhile, consistently sounds more articulated as he rips into these songs on a tailwind of spontaneous inspiration. In the first episode of a podcast made as part of the rollout for LIVE DRUGS called The Super High Quality Podcast, they discuss being open to songs evolving onstage from their recorded forms. They make good on that here, down to a song's structure in one case: "Eyes to the Wind" goes drum-less for its first verse, the byproduct of the song once collapsing at a performance in Copenhagen. (This one, regrettably, is not that performance, but a later one that replicated and refined the new version.) It's a nice respite of "small" from the constant "big." Bennett's piano plays the high end this time, sprinkling stardust over Granduciel's words about the before and after of someone entering his life.
Drugs heads may be disappointed to find that there are no Slave Ambient cuts here, although "Buenos Aires Beach" from the debut album, Wagonwheel Blues (when the War on Drugs was essentially Granduciel's loosely defined solo moniker) is given new, fuller life. The only other song not from Dream or Understanding is a cover of Warren Zevon's "Accidentally Like a Martyr"—hardly a Zevon hit, and probably best known as the song that comes on after "Werewolves of London" on his best-selling album, Excitable Boy. The song choice is a small surprise, but Zevon is anything but: The War on Drugs have always stood proudly and obviously in the heartland rock lineage, and given that many others in there, like Zevon, had less-than-stellar reputations, they've also been an option that you could feel less messy about enjoying. It's a beautiful take, but a less on-the-nose inspiration—they tackled a Bill Fay song and a Pretenders song multiple times in those years, for example—could have been a more interesting cover choice.
LIVE DRUGS flows well, too, as if it were all from one show. Which is to say that listening to it feels like being at that show, which is a whole different feeling in late 2020. The live album has always functioned to some degree as a reminder—but more of moments, not of: "What's a concert?" When Hall slams his toms to ignite the final surge of "Under the Pressure," easily among their best live cuts, it's like they heard the question. You can hear the audience, revved-up by the harnessed tension of the previous two minutes, bleed into the mix. They are singing gibberish along to the guitar melody, which maybe you have forgotten is the absolute best genre of rock-concert-singalong, transcending languages and inebriation levels. To have been there at that moment must have been a thrill. To hear it today, at this moment, feels like a gift.

On November 27, The New York Times headlined an article "Conflicting Policies on Syria and Islamic State Erode U.S. Standing in Mideast." But this is not new. U.S. standing in the Middle East (and elsewhere) has been eroding for almost 50 years. The reality is far larger than the immediate dispute between anti-Assad forces in Syria and their supporters elsewhere on the one hand and the Obama regime in the United States on the other.
The fact is that the United States has become in the expression derived from onetime nautical practice a "loose cannon," that is, a power whose actions are unpredictable, uncontrollable, and dangerous to itself and to others. As a result, it is trusted by almost no-one, even when many countries and political groups call upon it for assistance in specific ways in the short run.
How is it that the erstwhile unquestioned hegemonic power of the world-system, and still the strongest military power by far, has come to this sorry state? It is reviled or at least sternly reproached not only by the world left but by the world right and even such centrist forces as remain in this increasingly polarized world. The decline of the United States is not due to errors in policy but is structural – that is, not really subject to reversal.
The point of the cold war was not to subdue the presumed ideological enemy but to keep a check on one's own satellites. This cozy arrangement was first threatened by the unwillingness of movements in what was then called the "Third World" to suffer the negatives of this status quo. The Chinese Communist Party defied Stalin's injunction to compromise with the Kuomintang and instead marched on Shanghai and proclaimed the People's Republic. The Viet Minh defied the Geneva accords and insisted on marching on Saigon to unite the country under their rule. The Algerian Front de Libération Nationale in Algeria defied the French Communist Party's injunction to give priority to the class struggle in France and launched its struggle for independence. And the Cuban guerillas that overthrew the Batista dictatorship forced the Soviet Union to help them defend again U.S. invasion by taking over the label of Communist Party from the group that had colluded with Batista.
The defeat of the United States in Vietnam was the result both of the war's enormous drain on the U.S. Treasury and by the growing internal opposition to the war by middle-class youth draftees and their families, which bequeathed a permanent constraint on future U.S. military action in the so-called Vietnam syndrome.
The world-revolution of 1968 saw a worldwide rebellion not only against U.S. hegemony but against Soviet collusion with the United States. It also saw a rejection of the Old Left parties (Communist parties, Social-Democratic parties, national liberation movements) on the grounds that, despite coming to power, they had not changed the world as they had promised and had become part of the problem not part of the solution.
The United States under presidents from Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton (and including Ronald Reagan) sought to slow down U.S. decline by a triple policy. It invited its closest allies to change their status from satellite to that of partner, with the proviso that they not drift too far from U.S. policies. It shifted its focus in the world-economy from developmentalism to a demand for export-oriented production in the global South and the neoliberal injunctions of the Washington Consensus. And it sought to curb the creation of further nuclear powers beyond the five permanent members of the Security Council by imposing on all other countries an ending of their nuclear armament projects, a treaty that was not signed by and ignored by Israel, India, Pakistan, and South Africa.
These U.S. efforts were partially successful. They did slow down but not reverse U.S. decline. When in the late 1980s the Soviet Union began to collapse, the United States was in fact dismayed. The cold war was not meant to be won but to continue indefinitely. The most immediate consequence of the collapse of the Soviet Union was the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The Soviet Union was no longer there to restrain Iraq in the interest of U.S.-Soviet arrangements.
And while the United States won the Gulf war, it demonstrated further weakness by the fact that it could not finance its own role but was dependent for 90% of its costs on four other countries – Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Japan. The decision by President George H.W. Bush not to march on Baghdad but content himself with the restoration of Kuwaiti sovereignty was no doubt a wise judgment but was seen by many in the United States as a humiliation in that Saddam Hussein remained in power.
The next turning-point was with the coming to power of President George W. Bush and the coterie of neo-con interventionists that surrounded him. This group seized upon the September 11 attack by al-Qaeda to justify an invasion of Iraq in 2003 to overthrow Saddam Hussein. This was seen by the interventionists as a mode of restoring waning U.S. hegemony in the world-system. Instead, it badly backfired in two ways. The United States for the very first time lost a vote in the U.N. Security Council and Iraqi resistance to U.S. presence was vaster and more persistent than anticipated. In sum, the invasion transformed a slow decline into a precipitate decline, which brings us to the efforts of the Obama regime to deal with this decline.
The reason neither President Obama nor any future U.S. president will be able to reverse this is because the United States has been unwilling to accept this new reality and adjust to it. The United States is still striving to restore its hegemonic role. Pursuing this impossible task leads it to pursue the so-called "conflicting policies" in the Middle East and elsewhere. Like a loose cannon, it constantly shifts position seeking to stabilize the world geopolitical ship. U.S. public opinion is torn between the glories of being the "leader" and the costs of trying to be the leader. Public opinion zigzags constantly.
As other countries and movements regard this spectacle, they place no trust in U.S. policies and therefore pursue each their own priorities. The problem for the world is that loose cannons result in destruction, both of the perpetrators and the rest of the world. And this increases the role that fear plays in the actions of everyone else, augmenting the dangers to world survival.

5 TV Shows That Are Suprisingly Filled with Food Porn
You don't have to watch food reality TV or food shows to be enticed by food porn on the screen. In fact, there are quite a few TV series that don't revolve around food yet is surprisingly filled with some amazing scenes foodies would gawk at and salivate over. A lot of these shows are available for free or on demand to stream if you have Verizon Fios account (even if they're not, you'll still want Fios' near-gigabit internet speed so you can stream seamlessly!). Now that summer is here, it's a great time to check out theses shows, if you haven't yet. Just be sure your fridge is stocked when you do.
OK, so this show has beautifully shot and amazing looking food scenes, thanks to the supervising of Chef Jose Andres. Hannibal is a food connoisseur and a great cook, but of course, each food scene is a bit unnerving, especially when Hannibal is cooking a meat dish. Could it be human meat? Knowing Hannibal, probably! That's why Gillian Anderson's character will only eat oysters - though I think lobster would be fine too ;) Still, even with the underlying unease, the cooking and dining scenes in this show are some of the best out there.

Aziz Ansari's character Dev takes an impromptu weekend trip to Nashville and was late catching his flight home to go get BBQ. He lies to his parents and skips out on prayers to go binge out on more BBQ at Smorgasburg. He's basically just eating around Italy in the beginning of the second season, because "eating in Italy is my favorite thing!" Hats off to Aziz for somehow getting a dinner at Osteria Francescana in the show and making it a business expense.
The characters in Billions with deep pockets (or expense accounts) are hitting up some of New York's best restaurants. Bobby dines at Momofuku Ko and the scene shows chef David Chang himself. Mike Wagner sits down for an omakase at Sushi Nakazawa and passionately educates others (and the audience) about the art of sushi. This show certainly makes me want to fly to New York and hit up all these fine dining restaurants - it also makes me want to have an expense account.
So Dexter doesn't necessarily have a lot of food scenes in the show, but each episode starts with a salivating opening sequence of Dexter cooking steak and eggs. The montage consists close up shots of steak and eggs sizzling on a pan, making me wish my breakfast can be that good every morning. Food or not, this is one of the best opening scene for a show, in my opinion. But that steak and butter make it even better. Plus, he always brings donuts to the office.
Sookie St. James. This supporting character in Gilmore Girls is a passionate and talented chef at the Inn where Lorelai works. Throughout the seven seasons she brings beautiful (sometimes outrageous) cakes, magic risotto, deep-fried turkey, and more. There are other noteworthy food moments as well, like when Rory plans to create a mega-supersized pizza for Lorelai's birthday.
If you plan on binge watching these shows, keep in mind that Verizon Fios is now available in more Boston neighborhoods and they now have near-gigabit (up to 940 Mbps) download speed.

It's a fantastic story of love, family and community in the face of adversity and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good dramatic musical.
As someone who did not know anything about this play before I heard it was at the Royal and Derngate, I was pleasantly surprised on the night. When you walk in, the first things you notice are the projections of dark clouds which set the slightly dark tone, and the ambient bird noises that make you feel you're actually by the water. The cast began the show out of character, freestyle dancing, wandering around the stage and engaging the audience in an interactive way I've never seen outside of panto. This never took me out of the story and only enhanced my interest in the characters. Their talent showed before the production even began.
The context of the show is that it takes place in 1980s Newcastle when a shipyard became too expensive for the owner, who intends to take apart the last ship and make most of the characters redundant. The Last Ship – with lyrics and music by Sting – is based on the singer's own experience around that place and time. It's rooted in history, but it focuses on the people who shape the story. Older people than me would probably appreciate the wider context more than I did but, for me, the storyline involving the separation and reunion of characters is what had me on the edge of my seat. The tension is built up and then spectacularly broken by the next song or clever joke. You could hear Sting's influence in all the songs and my personal favourite thing is that there was so much emotion in the songs, and not too much dancing. There were emotive stomps and the occasional jazz hand, depending on the tone of the song.
Richard Fleeshman and Frances McNamee stole the show in my opinion as the childhood sweethearts who are now all grown up. The younger versions of their characters, Gideon and Meg, introduce the audience to the start of their story in an emotional flashback. The adult pair were arguably the best singers of the night and I was impressed that all the actors were able to stay in their Geordie accents, even when in song. The narrator (Katie Moore) was a mysterious figure until she was revealed to be an essential part of the story. Her character was even reminiscent of Sting himself at times. Jackie (Joe McGann) and Peggy (Charlie Hardwick) were another couple who faced separation while defying the shipyard owners to save their livelihood and that of their friends. All the minor characters were given their own traits which gave even more depth to the story and added to the stakes as well as the comedy. It's been said that the best performances are ones that make you feel something, and this definitely has something for everyone.
Saturday 28 April is your last chance to catch this emotional and impactful play. If you haven't seen it yet, don't miss your chance! Visit the Royal and Derngate website to book your tickets and find out more.

New Director Appointed for SJSU School of Information
Dr. Anthony Chow to Lead the iSchool
With deep roots in the Bay Area, Dr. Anthony Chow is eager to bring his leadership, academic, professional, and personal experience and background to the San José State University School of Information as its new director. Chow makes his way to the #1 Most Transformative University from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he was an associate professor in the Department of Library and Information Science. His appointment as the iSchool's director officially begins July 20, 2021, filling the open position previously held by Dr. Sandra Hirsh, who was promoted to associate dean for the SJSU College of Professional and Global Education in March 2020.
"We are delighted to welcome Dr. Anthony Chow as iSchool director. The search committee was overwhelmingly impressed with his qualifications that will surely benefit our school, college, university, and the information professions. This is an exciting time for our school!" says Dr. Linda Main, chair of the search committee.
Chow's academic career spans 21 years during which time he has worked as a faculty member; served as coordinator/director of online learning; published two books and two book chapters and 141 peer-reviewed publications, proceedings, presentations and posters; and received over $3 million in grants and contracts to fund research projects. He has a steep record of service and leadership at all levels of academia and the library and information science field and takes "deep pride in contributing to any team or group I am part of," he affirms. Chow holds a PhD in Instructional Systems Design and an MS in Educational Psychology from Florida State University.
"There is no greater privilege than to impart knowledge and skills to students and help mentor them towards successful lives and careers." – Dr. Anthony Chow
On the faculty at both the University of North Carolina and Florida State University, Chow's teaching areas included web design and usability, leadership and management, instructional design and technology, social media, and technology integration. He has experience teaching in various formats and considers online learning an area of expertise. "I am 100% committed to the immense value of online education as a complex interchange between student needs and organizational capabilities to deliver a seamless and high-quality learning experience and system," Chow says.
He has been published in journals, such as Library Quarterly, Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, Library Leadership & Management, American Journal of Distance Education, Tech Trends, and many others. Most recently, he participated in two presentations at the 2021 ALA Annual Virtual Conference, with one advocating internships for graduate students, and the other addressing literacy and access for Native American children and families. Funded by a $707,537 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through 2023, Chow's Reading Nation Waterfall research project presented at ALA Annual is a prime example of his commitment to "break down barriers to information access at a societal and organizational level."
"I am committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in all that I do." — Dr. Anthony Chow
In addition to publishing, Chow is shaping the LIS field as an active member and leader in the American Library Association, Association for Library and Information Science Education, Association for Educational Communications and Technology, American Educational Research Association, and International Federation of Library Associations. He has also taken on leadership roles at the university level and founded the newly formed Asian and Pacific Islander Caucus, which he says "brought together API faculty and staff across the UNC system in response to the increasing anti-Asian sentiment and xenophobia being experienced nationally and in North Carolina."
As the iSchool's director, Chow says he will "lead with optimism, energy, and passion in the conviction that our teaching, degrees, and higher education in general leads to a higher quality of life for our students, increased value for the organizations that hire them, and that our faculty research and service helps study and solve problems and transforms the communities that we are part of."
With Chow in the director role, Main will return to her position as associate director. She has served as interim director for the past 16 months.

Remittances bounce back in Sept.
CASH REMITTANCES rebounded in September, as overseas Filipino workers sent more money to help families weather the coronavirus crisis. — REUTERS
By Luz Wendy T. Noble, Reporter
CASH REMITTANCES from overseas Filipinos rebounded in September, growing at the fastest pace in more than two years after a decline in August.
Cash remittances coursed through banks jumped by 9.3% to $2.601 billion in September from $2.379 billion a year ago, data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on Monday showed. This was the quickest growth in remittance inflows since 12.7% in April 2018.
Month on month, cash remittances also rose by 4.8% from $2.483 billion in August, when these dropped by an annual 4.1%.
The BSP reported a 10.2% rise in remittances from land-based overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to $2.031 billion, and a 6.5% jump in money sent by sea-based workers to $570 million.
"The year-on-year comparison benefited from a low base from last year. But if we look at the month-on-month figure, growth registered 4.8% based on actual levels, which means that overseas workers have been sending more money than usual to relatives here, underscoring the altruistic component of remittances amidst the pandemic," Security Bank Corp. Chief Economist Robert Dan J. Roces said in a text message.
He said the deployment of seafarers in recent months had also helped remittance inflows recover.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Agency earlier said more than 136,000 sea-based OFWs were deployed from July to September, as the government launched a green lane for seafarers to help process their departure.
Money sent home by OFWs in the medical field and other essential industries may have also supported remittance growth in September, said Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort.
"Further economic recovery in various host countries as they reopened from COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) lockdowns may have allowed more OFWs to work again," he added.
Meanwhile, remittance inflows in the first nine months of the year reached $21.886 billion, slipping by 1.4% from $22.187 billion a year ago. The decline is slower than the 2% drop in remittances expected by the BSP this year.
"By country source, cash remittances for January to September from the United States, Singapore, Qatar, Hong Kong and Taiwan were among the countries that registered growth, while declines were noted in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Germany, Kuwait and the United Kingdom," the central bank said in a statement.
The United States was the source of 40.1% of the inflows, making it the biggest remittance market, followed by Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Japan, UK, UAE, Canada, Hong Kong, Qatar and Taiwan. Total cash remittances from these economies made up 78.8% of the inflows.
Meanwhile, personal remittances also climbed by 9.1% to $2.888 billion in September from $2.648 billion a year ago. This brought year-to-date inflows to $24.302 billion, 1.4% lower than $24.643 billion in the first nine months of 2019.
A continued pickup in remittances is likely in the next few months because overseas Filipinos typically send money to their families during the Christmas season, said Mr. Ricafort.
"Some adversely affected OFWs could also tap their savings; some laid off OFWs could also tap part of their separation/retirement pay," he said.
Mr. Ricafort said a faster recovery in remittance inflows would support consumption during the crisis.
In the third quarter, household spending continued to decline by 9.3% year on year, though softer than the 15.3% fall in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Mr. Roces said a new wave of coronavirus infections in some host economies could affect the remittance outlook.
"We remain cautiously optimistic because uncertainties remain relative to global recovery on the back of a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in the US and Europe. The absence of a new fiscal stimulus package in the US this fourth quarter also provides a downside risk to remittance levels," he said.
COVID-19 cases across the world reached more than 54.4 million, the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center said on Monday. More than 11 million COVID-19 cases are in the US.
A surge in infections prompted some European countries to reimpose lockdowns, including France, Germany and England.
More than 254,000 OFWs have come home as of Nov. 15. The government expects 300,000 migrant workers to return by end-2020.

However, perhaps from the point of view of a spiritual teacher, these types of sins can be secondary to habits and ways of living that we don't consider to be a problem. As an analogy, a progressive enterprise can stand almost anything in a person except their desire to find a comfort level. The one thing that is most difficult to fight is inertia—people being satisfied where they are and no longer being willing to improve and advance. Sometimes spiritual teachers can be confusing in that they preach against the well-known sins, yet surrounding them they tolerate people who are not living up to the virtues that they are preaching. But perhaps those people are not suffering from the worst sin of all from a spiritual point of view which is inertia. If a person is willing to change then there is always hope, but if they are self- satisfied, if they have found a comfort level, if there is inertia, then even if their normal sins are at a minimum, from a higher point of view they are hopeless because they are not willing to move. In addition, they may be suffering from spiritual pride, thinking that they are better than most others because they are not committing the same sins.


Quick question: How can the following invokation of id command fail?
Works well on Ubuntu 13.10 and should according to manpage?
Greetings, and welcome to the forum!
As far as I can tell, your command fails because id wants a username, not a UID. So the command didn't really fail, it told you that there was not a user with the username "1000". The command id with no options is returning the logged in user's information. I don't know why it works in Ubantu. In Suse, entering id -n returns id: cannot print only names or real IDs in default format. Perhaps it was changed in one or the other distro for security reasons or something.
If what you're trying to do is find out the username associated with a known UID, the only way I know is to use Yast>Security and Users>User and Group Management. Or from the command line, look into /etc/passwd using cat or vi or another text editor. Users are at the bottom (of mine, at least). If you have a lot of users, this could be a pain, maybe figure out a script with grep or something.
Hope this helps, and let us know if it did. If it didn't, come on back and we'll keep working on it.
Thanks for your reply. The behavior I expected doesn't correpond to the manpage which I misunderstood and the behavior is also not the one I described on Ubuntu (checked bash_history and saw that I used id command with varitables with wrong content), i.e. id does was it is supposed to do.
Subject: Re: id tells me "id: 1000: no such user"

Nimbabergets naturreservat (franska: Réserve naturelle intégrale du Mont Nimba) är nationalpark och Unesco-världsarv. Området ligger på gränsen mellan Elfenbenskusten och Guinea.

Reservatet bildades 1943 i Elfenbenskusten och utökades året efter med ett område i Guinea. 1980 blev reservatet ett biosfärområde.

1981 skrevs området i Guinea in på Unescos världsarvslista och 1982 utökades världsarvet med området i Elfenbenskusten.

Naturreservatet är 180 km² (130 km² i Guinea och 50 km² i Elfenbenskusten). Biosfärområdet omfattar 171,3 km² och ligger enbart i Guinea.

En utvidgning av reservatet till närbelägna Liberia har föreslagits. Naturreservatet omfattar stora delar av berget Nimba, ett geografiskt unikt område med över 200 endemiska arter.

1944 · The G.I Bill
The G.I. Bill was a law that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans that were on active duty during the war and weren't dishonorably discharged. The goal was to provide rewards for all World War II veterans. The act avoided life insurance policy payouts because of political distress caused after the end of World War I. But the Benefits that were included were: Dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college or vocational/technical school, low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. By the mid-1950s, around 7.8 million veterans used the G.I. Bill education benefits.

Man Caught Smuggling Meth in Bag of Chips and Tacos
JP Published: July 30, 2021

Let's just add this to the list of odd places smugglers have hidden drugs. Last year, Nicolas Castro was caught attempting to smuggle meth in a plastic bag containing tacos and chips, according to a report by CLICK2HOUSTON. Earlier this year, Authorities in Texas seized over four million dollars worth of crystal methamphetamine hidden within a large shipment of cucumber pickles making its way from Mexico into Texas. Take a look at the weirdest drug smuggling busts at the Texas Border below[GALLERY]
Castro attempted to enter the United States at the Gateway to the Americas Bridge and the K-9 hit on his bag. During the inspection of Castro's 'lunch,' authorities found a plastic bag with tacos and chips. The bag tested positive for meth. After a little time, Castro told authorities he knew the tacos contained a kilogram of drugs and said he expected to be paid $1,500 to transport the drugs to Austin. What is the penalty for smuggling meth in tacos? An 87-month sentence followed by five years of supervised release.
The border between Texas and Mexico is very important for drug cartels trying to smuggle their wares into the country. Cartels are trying to sneak in any drug that you can think of. From crystal meth and heroin to marijuana and counterfeit pills, there is no shortage of illicit substances coming up from south of the border and into the United States via Mexico and Texas. The further north the drugs make it in the United States the more money the cartel makes. Check out some of the unusual attempts that have been made.

Home Front Page News Test to improve stem cell safety
Test to improve stem cell safety
Jul 16th, 2013 · Comments Off
The test uses laser technology to identify proteins found on the surface of the cells. Based on the presence or absence of specific proteins the cells are then separated and monitored. Unsafe stem cell lines are easily identified because they form recognisable clusters of cells and the safe ones don't. This test could also be applied to assess the safety of the recently announced somatic cell nuclear transfer human embryonic stem cells.
"The test we have developed allows us to easily identify unsafe iPS cells. Ensuring the safety of these cell lines is paramount and we hope this test will become a routine screen as part of developing safe and effective iPS-based cell therapies."
Dr Andrew Laslett and his team have spent the last five years working on the project. The research has focused on comparing different types of iPS cells with human embryonic stem cells. iPS cells are now the most commonly used pluripotent stem cell type for research.
"This important study provides a simple and powerful technique for assessing how safe stem cell lines are for use in patients," he adds.
Using their test method, Dr Laslett's team has shown that certain ways of making iPS cells carry more risks. When the standard technique is used, which relies on viruses to permanently change the DNA of a cell, unwanted tumours are more likely to form. In comparison, cells made using methods which do not alter cell DNA, do not form tumours.
Professor Martin Pera, Program Leader of Stem Cells Australia, said: "Although cell transplantation therapies based on iPS cells are being fast-tracked for testing in humans, there is still much debate in the scientific community over the potential hazards of this new technology."
The breakthrough is a significant step in improving the quality of iPS cells and identifying unwanted cells that can form tumours. The test also determines how stable iPS cells are when grown in the lab.
"The test we have developed allows us to easily identify unsafe iPS cells. Ensuring the safety of these cell lines is paramount and we hope this test will become a routine screen as part of developing safe and effective iPS-based cell therapies," says Dr Laslett.
Dr Laslett hopes the study and the new test method will help to raise the awareness and importance of stem cell safety and lead to improvements in quality control globally.
"It is widely accepted that iPS cells made using viruses should not be used for human treatment, but they can also be used in research to understand diseases and identify new drugs. Having the assurance of safe and stable cells in all situations should be a priority," says Dr Laslett.
June 4, 2013 ? CSIRO scientists have developed a test to identify unsafe stem cells. It is the first safety test specifically for human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) — as published today in the international journal Stem Cells.

The April 4 issue of the Century offers Ruth Burrows's witness to her life as a contemplative Carmelite; it also includes an homage to a community of students shaped by their experience with Trappist monks, which in turn shaped Faith Matters writer Stephanie Paulsell in her faith and thinking.
Yet Carmelite, Benedictine, Trappist and other monastic communities find themselves in a precarious place these days, with many of them closed or closing. Must we lose these Catholic (and Protestant) communities before we realize that they are a profound presence to those of us out wandering in the world?
In the midst of declining numbers, Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, Wisconsin, dares to pursue a vision for growing an ecumenical Benedictine monastery. Its sisters envision a community that welcomes Christian women of any denomination who seek to live a reflective life in community. Accordingly, Holy Wisdom has kept its affliliation with Benedictine monasteries, but after years of prayerful deliberation, it cut formal ties with the Roman Catholic Church in 2006.
Now the monastery is inviting single women with no dependents to "try out" community life by becoming a Benedictine Sojourner for six months or more. The community provides room, board and a monthly stipend in exchange for participation in the community's tasks.
Is there still a place for contemplative communities? That depends on whether all of us Christians value these places where, as William Skudlarek says, "members are dedicated to the work of spiritual growth and who together fashion an environment in which each can engage in that inner work with a minimum of distractions." As Christians, do enough of us share this vision? Will there be more or fewer "places set apart"?
Grounded: "In his will is our peace"
New today from the Century: Stand-your-ground laws, monkish ways, more.
The changed color of glass is an apt metaphor for Judith Valente's transformation by the light of the Gospels and the lives of Benedictine sisters.


The most unique dates in taste and the most expensive ones too are the best cure for heart diseases.
These dates are rich in natural fiber. Modern medicines have also proved that Ajwa Khajoor cures our health by preventing abdominal caner and heart attacks.
Ajwa Khajoor contains oil, calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, copper and magnesium. These dates are highly nutritious, full of sugar (60%), fat (2%), proteins (2%), and minerals (2%). It is a form of balanced and healthy diet.
In Islam, the first person who suffered from a heart attack was Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas. Prophet (P.B.U.H) after acknowledging this disease advised Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas to eat Ajwa Khajoor along with the grinding seed. After making this a daily habit, Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas never suffered from the heart problem again.
The method of using Ajwa Khajoor for a heart patient is to make a habit of eating these dates along with the grinding seed on daily basis. After a month or two the patients will notice a change in regard to their health.
