Joshua David Hawley wants you to know that he is very smart. The Senator from Missouri is determined to be the next Republican President of the United States, and a big part of the argument he makes for himself is that he's more spiritually agile than the Republicans who have made the party similarly intelligent and similar since then Richard Nixon was discharged from the Oval Office in 1974. Hawley's official biography not only mentions that he is a graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School. it brags"Senator Hawley is recognized as one of the leading constitutional attorneys in the country." His campaign team – and Hawley is always Campaigns – since jumping into the political fast lane in 2016, has portrayed the youngest member of the Senate as a conservative intellectual who co-authored a book on Teddy Roosevelt that speaks about fourth-century theologians Pelagiusand regularly outsmarts liberal agendas with daring legal and legislative strategies.
There is no question that Hawley is a brighter light in the GOP firmament than dim light bulbs like Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, the conspiracy theorist who idolizes Ayn Rand and who can always be relied on for fooling President Trump.
However, in the 2020 election, Hawley positioned himself only as an articulate and ambitious version of Johnson. Hoping to secure Trump's favor – and that of the rally loyalists who will decide which Republican will ultimately take on the cloak of 45th President – the almost-declared 2024 (or maybe 2028) presidential candidate will apply torture to veneer made of constitutional law and historical references to the conspiratorial nonsense Trump's stupidest allies used to discredit President-elect Joe Biden's clear victory.
Hawley denied fact and logic and heightened the president's complaints about "electoral fraud" and an allegedly "rigged" election since the November 3rd election. He describes the process that gave Biden the presidency a "debacle" – despite the fact that Chris Krebs, the lifelong Republican who oversaw electoral security at Trump's behest, has dispelled complaints of tampering and tampering explained"The 2020 election was the safest in US history. This achievement should be celebrated by all Americans and not undermined in the service of a deeply un-American goal. "

On December 30th, Hawley brought things to a head an announcement::
I cannot vote to endorse the January 6th electoral college findings without pointing out that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, have failed to obey their own electoral laws. And I can't vote for certification without pointing out the unprecedented efforts of mega-corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to meddle in that election in support of Joe Biden. At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of electoral fraud and take steps to ensure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has not acted so far.
Hawley's carefully timed announcement was pulled exactly that "Thanks Josh!" Praise he sought from Trump– who had tried to get a Republican senator to join the Republicans in the House to object. Under the arcane rules for accepting electoral college votes from states, at least one member of the house and one senator must question the results in order to force the two houses to debate and then vote on whether to respect the will of the people .
Current topic
When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to end the pointless exercise – creating a rift with Trump that resulted in a flurry of vacation clauses and threats – the president was in a difficult position. In his search for a refuser, he was reduced to appealing to the weakest links in the Senate Republican caucus like Johnson and the newly elected Republican from Alabama Tommy Tuberville.
Then Trump suddenly got a boost from the party's most accomplished rising star. When that happened, the floodgates opened: Senator from Texas Ted Cruz (Another prospect for the President) and 10 other Trump-leaning Senators announced that they would join Hawley to object to the confirmation of Biden's victory based on their (false) claims that the 2020 elections were "unprecedented charges of Election fraud, violations and negligence included electoral enforcement and other electoral irregularities. "The Senators will join a majority of the House Republicans and street protesters called for by Trump to make Wednesday one of the darker days in tortured American democracy history. Vice President Mike Pence has signaled that as Senate President he will facilitate the charade.
Ultimately, Biden is sworn in as President on January 20th. He won the post of more than 7 million ballot papers and with a higher percentage of the population than any challenger to a seated president since Franklin Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932. Biden's electoral college win has been scrutinized by the courts and states and is upheld by Democratic majorities – Led House and the Republican-led Senate – where GOP officials like Mitt Romney of Utah and Ben Sasse of Nebraska have signaled they are on the side the Democrats will stand.
Why is someone as smart and confident as Hawley who is fighting a losing battle? The answer has everything to do with the cynical calculation of a 41-year-old politician, whose ambition exceeds any sense of duty to his party or his country. Hawley, like most other prominent Republicans who side with Trump in this crude attack on democracy and common sense, recognizes that the Republican Party is beyond saving. It will not become a more credible, honorable, or intellectually honest institution. Trump has redesigned the Grand Old Party in his own image and it will serve him until he gives up control.
That means that if Trump chooses to be in 2024, he'll most likely be the GOP candidate. Thinking differently means engaging in the same wishful thinking that the fabulists of "Never Trump" have adopted since 2015. But when Trump finally passes the nomination on to another Republican, be it 2024 or 2028, Hawley will wait.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, reversing an earlier decision to regulate all genetically altered animals, announced Tuesday that it saw no need to scrutinize a tropical zebra fish bioengineered to glow red and headed for sale in pet stores next month.
A Texas company and a pair of tropical fish farms in Florida plan to market the trademarked GloFish beginning Jan. 5 in every state except California, which has banned all transgenic fish except in biomedical laboratories that can assure the fish will not escape into the wild.
But the Food and Drug Administration said it has no concerns about the zebra fish, which is infused with a red fluorescent gene of a sea anemone.
"Because tropical aquarium fish are not used for food purposes, they pose no threat to the food supply," the FDA said in a terse statement.
More than 200,000 computers spent years looking for the largest known prime number. It turned up on Michigan State University graduate student Michael Shafer's off-the-shelf PC.
"It was just a matter of time," Shafer said.
The number is 6,320,430 digits long and would need 1,400 to 1,500 pages to write out. It is more than 2 million digits larger than the previous-largest known prime number.
Shafer, 26, helped find the number as a volunteer on the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.
A prime number is a positive number divisible only by itself and one: 2, 3, 5, 7 and so on. Mersenne primes are a special category, expressed as 2 to the "p" power minus 1, where "p" also is a prime number.
The Bush administration's first major post-Sept. 11 prosecution, which broke up an al-Qaida cell in Detroit, is in danger of unraveling after the Justice Department divulged it had failed to turn over evidence that might have helped the defense.
The evidence includes a letter from an imprisoned drug gang leader who alleges the government's key witness confided he made up some of his story.
The December 2001 letter, which could have been used by defense lawyers to challenge the prosecution witness during the trial this spring, wasn't turned over until a couple of weeks ago.
The defendants are now asking that their convictions be overturned, and the judge has scheduled an emergency hearing Friday to demand an explanation from the government.
A billionaire industrialist and fervent nationalist won a seat Wednesday on the federal Cabinet — Switzerland's most powerful elected body — a move likely to lead to a clampdown on immigration and to deepen the Alpine nation's isolation in united Europe.
Though often labeled a right-wing extremist abroad, Christoph Blocher, the firebrand leader of the Swiss People's Party, is widely respected by business leaders at home.
His election drew praise from Swiss banks and industry but alarm from refugee aid groups, swift to recall his inflammatory, anti-immigrant rhetoric and to warn him against endangering Switzerland's humanitarian traditions.
Individual members of the police and British army in Northern Ireland may have aided car-bombers who killed 33 people in 1974, but there isn't proof of wider collusion, a report concluded Wednesday.
Nobody was ever charged in connection with the attacks, which were universally blamed on anti-Catholic extremists in Northern Ireland.
The mammoth report by Justice Henry Barron, presented to lawmakers and made public Wednesday after nearly four years of investigation, also harshly criticized the Irish government of the day, accusing it of demonstrating little interest or competence in bringing the bombers to justice.
On May 17, 1974, three car bombs went off within a few minutes of each other in crowded streets in downtown Dublin, killing 26 people, followed about 90 minutes later by a fourth car bomb that ravaged the border town of Monaghan, killing seven.


Tweets are nice. Getting a vibe for where people's thoughts are at is interesting, especially if you aren't working within a vibrant research team.
This tweet (part of an apparently upcoming debate between Pasi Sahlberg, Graham Brown-Martin and George Siemens) is particularly ripe for deconstruction.
Now obviously I don't think a tweet reveals any of these assumptions. However, these assumptions do tend to come across in amateur educational discourse, and even at academic level discourse.
The history of education certainly suggests some sort of cyclical (or perhaps non-deterministic) pattern. This suggests it is highly unlikely that education will ever tend to a single stable "purpose". I personally take the view that education's purpose is non-deterministic, rather, I assume that it can be described a a cycle between (two) characterizable states. I'd also add that there is always a non-zero chance of everything going-to-pot (complex dynamics).
take a fully non-functionalist process approach, like multi-level selection theory.
Mixing process & state is certainly unstable and enables intended and un-intended abuse. A fully non-functionalist approach is accurate, but perhaps unsatisfying for those that like descriptors (thing-talk).
Perhaps, when talking about education's purpose, the best we can do with common-language is to adopt the "tension" term. Thus education's purpose is worded as some sort of tension between large-group orientation and smaller-group orientation. As can readily be seen, leaving things this vague, while accurate, is unsatisfying. Thus the fully non-functionalist process approach, while accurate, leaves one striving for more statist (thing-based) descriptions.
Here's a summary some ways to frame educational tension according to the three options to the stated conundrum.
What is obvious is that any process+state combination of explaining education's purpose probably requires more cumbersome language than the simple noun descriptions people seem drawn to. Similarly people just aren't used to pure process descriptors. Nor is a process approach economical in this case: there are just lots of (functionalist) sub-processes going on.
So, before debating what "schooling is for", it's probably best to talk about where along the process-state spectrum educational purpose can be adequately characterized for the depth of discourse sought.

Q: Can I add active class when url starts a string in react Navlink? How do I add an active class in react navlink when url starts with a "/teacher/create/" string?

A: <NavLink to={"/teacher/create/"} exact activeClassName={this.props.location.pathname.startsWith("/teacher/create/") && "activeLink"}>{title}</NavLink>

and add css:
.activeLink {
    color: red;
}

A: <NavLink to={"/teacher/create/2"} exact activeClassName={this.props.location.pathname === "/teacher/create/2" && "activeLink"}>{title}</NavLink>

and add css:
.activeLink {
    color: red;
}

react-router-dom: "^4.1.2"

A: I don't know how the other solutions above work but in my case I had no access to this.props.location. You can do this by trying something like that:
export const LooseNavLink = props => (
  <NavLink {...props} isActive={(match, location) => location.pathname.startsWith(props.to.pathname)}/>
)

Three blockbuster fights to make in 2023
Jake Donovan 28 Dec 22
There were plenty of big moments provided in the year that was, although 2022 became best known for the fights that failed to materialise.
It goes without saying that there exists the need to provide the type of events that truly move the needle, for the overall health of the sport.
There was a sampling of that in the past twelve months, most notably among the top women boxers including the epic Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano and Claressa Shields-Savannah Marshall summit meetings.
The collapse of Errol Spence-Terence Crawford and Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua - both roughly at the same time - understandably left behind tattered spirits. That's not to say that all hope is lost for the year ahead.
WATCH: Rob Tebbutt's 2023 preview
Below are three fights to be made in 2023 that can truly capture mainstream attention - none of which will include the aforementioned men's fights that failed to materialise, as to not once again create false hope.
Gervonta 'Tank' Davis vs. Ryan Garcia
There are some who will consider this to be a cheat entry, since both sides publicly insisted that a deal was reached for a spring 2023 meeting. However, not even a signed contract has ever walked into a boxing ring.
One doesn't yet exist, though the pair of unbeaten lightweights along with their team and respective platforms - Showtime for Davis, DAZN for Garcia - all insist that a deal was reached to satisfy all involved parties.
It only adds pressure to deliver the fight, at a time when preliminary plans have already taken on new form.
Garcia (23-0, 19KOs) has already bailed from a targeted stay busy fight in late January. The undefeated 24-year-old from Victorville, California was due to meet San Diego-based, Filipino southpaw Mercito Gesta but has opted to sit out and head straight into his desired superfight.
Davis (27-0, 25KOs) will proceed with his interim fight. The explosive knockout artist from Baltimore, Maryland will defend his WBA 'Regular' lightweight title versus Dominican Republic's Hector Luis Garcia (16-0, 10KOs; 3NC), the reigning WBA 130-pound titlist who will move up in weight for their January 7 Showtime Pay-Per-View main event from Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C.
A win by Davis cannot be met with anything other than a meeting with the "other" Garcia in line. Assuming everyone keeps their word, boxing fans can expect a mid-April meeting at a contracted maximum weight limit of 136 pounds.
Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk
There is a chance that Ukraine's Usyk could be forced to relinquish one or more of his alphabet titles for this fight to see the light of day, thus ruining any plans of crowning an undisputed heavyweight champion.
That doesn't mean the fight cannot - or should not - still take place.
Fury (32-0-1, 23KOs) has been here before, in fact with Joshua as it was teased that the two were due to meet in August 2021 in the Middle East and with all the divisional hardware at stake.
Fury had to bail, as he was contractually bound to a third fight with Deontay Wilder, whom he knocked out in the eleventh round of the 2021 Fight of the Year to defend the lineal/WBC heavyweight championship last October in Las Vegas.
By that point, Joshua was a former two-time unified heavyweight titlist after Usyk (20-0, 13KOs) wrested the WBA/IBF/WBO belts in a September 2021 unanimous decision win.
Usyk scored a repeat victory over Joshua on 20th August and was ringside for Fury's third win over Chisora on 3rd December. He joined the unbeaten Brit in the ring after the fight to immediately create buzz for their desired heavyweight championship clash.
Expectations now call for the two to meet in an actual fight - with or without every heavyweight belt at stake.
Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II
Can the sport live without a sequel to the best fight of 2022 and arguably the greatest women's boxing match of all time? Perhaps.
Would it be considered a massive let-down if oft-discussed plans for a rematch in front of an estimated crowd of 80,000 at Dublin's Croke Park fail to see the light of day? Absolutely.
The good news is that the pair of pound-for-pound entrants are eager to do it again.
In fact, Serrano (43-2-1, 30KOs) - a Puerto Rican southpaw from Brooklyn, New York - is on record as stating that not only does she want a rematch but that she insists on granting home country advantage to Taylor (22-0, 6KOs), the Bray boxing legend who has never fought in Ireland as a pro.
Calls for a rematch immediately surfaced after Taylor's split decision win over Serrano on 30th April at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The two went on to post separate wins before reopening sequel talks, with Taylor beating Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carabajal on 29th October for her fourteenth overall lightweight title defence and seventh as undisputed champion.
Serrano returned to featherweight, where she defended her WBC/WBO "babies" while adding the IBF title in a ten-round win over then-unbeaten champ Sarah Mahfoud last 24th September in Manchester, England.
Her next fight will be versus WBA champ Erika Cruz on 4th February at MSG's Hulu Theatre in a bid to become Puerto Rico's first undisputed champion, male or female.
From there, the industry-wide demand is for the pair of superstars to reunite in a meeting that will once again carry exceedingly high expectations.

Q: how to use a single affected build command in nrwl nx when builders use different options I have a project with angular and node builders (@angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser and @nrwl/node:build). If I attempt to run a build command that contains arguments that are valid for one, but not the other, I get
nx affected:build --aot

ng run server:build --aot
Unknown option: '--aot'

The angular builder can accept that option, but the node builder cannot. I have resorted to running the affected:build command twice with excludes, but this doesn't scale well as I add other types of builders.
nx affected:build --aot --exclude node-js-app
nx affected:build --exclude angular-js-app1, angular-js-app2
Is there a way to use affected:build across both angular and node projects and be able to use angular specific flags?

A: Not sure if this is the best or only solution, but this is what I ended up using to work around the issue.
I have configured a custom run command in angular.json in which I have hard coded the specific arguments that I needed for each app or lib.
You don't need to hard code it all (see the configuration example) but it our case that was just easier to do.
To use nx affected now you can target the newly created ci-build command: nx affected --target=ci-build --base=origin/master --args="--configuration=production".
...
   "my-angular-app": {
      "architect": {
        "ci-build": {

                "ng build my-angular-app --configuration={args.configuration} --single-bundle --bundleStyles false --keepStyles false"
            ]
          }
        },
...
   "my-node-lib": {
      "architect": {

Afrin offensive: seven Turkish soldiers die in Syria
Losses mark the highest toll in one day for the Turkish military in Operation Olive Branch

Seven Turkish soldiers have been killed in an offensive against Kurdish militia in Syria, including five who died in a single attack on a tank, Turkey's army has said.
The losses marked the highest toll in one day for the Turkish military in Operation Olive Branch, launched on 20 January against the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia, seen by Ankara as a terrorist group.
The assault on the tank on Saturday, details of which were not disclosed, was also the single deadliest attack on the Turkish military of the offensive so far.
Syrian Kurds outraged over mutilation of female fighter
The clashes brought the number of Turkish troops killed so far in the operation to 14.
The Turkish army and allied Ankara-backed Syrian rebel forces are seeking to oust the YPG from its western border stronghold of Afrin. The operation so far has been marked by fierce clashes.
In retaliation for the latest attacks on Turkish forces, war planes carried out airstrikes on the area, destroying shelters and munitions dumps, the army said.
Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said on Thursday the Turkish army and Ankara-backed rebels had recorded 25 deaths between them.
Meanwhile, seven civilians have been killed in mortar fire on the Turkish side of the border, with Ankara blaming the YPG.
Ankara says major progress has been made in the 15-day operation, with almost 900 YPG fighters killed so far, although it is not possible to verify these figures.
Erdoğan tried to reassure the French president, Emmanuel Macron, on Saturday, telling the French leader the push was aimed against "terror elements" and that Ankara had no eye on Syrian territory.
Macron had incensed Turkish officials by saying in a newspaper interview last week that France would have a "real problem" with the campaign if it turned out to be an "invasion operation".
During the phone call, "the two presidents agreed to work on a diplomatic roadmap in Syria in the coming weeks", the Élysée Palace said.

Andy Dosty has revealed that he was sure Castro did not fall in the Ada Estuary as earlier reported.
Following the disappearance of award-winning musician, Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known as Castro over 4 years ago, top radio personality, Andy Dosty, has stirred quenching flames on the matter after he revealed that the singer was not dead.
Speaking as the host of Hitz FM's Day Break Hitz, Andy Dosty revealed that he was of the strong conviction that Castro was not dead.
In reacting to entertainment review news about the singer, Andy Dosty who appeared peeved over the constant deceit over the singer's disappearance ranted on air.
He said he was more than sure that Castro did not fall into the river as people were made to believe and revealed that the facts of the matter had been skewed.
Andy Dosty went on to call out captain of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan who was there on the fateful day and asked him to come and speak the truth on Castro's disappearance.
Castro is reported to have disappeared on July 6, 2014 after he went on a trip at Ada. Reports have it that he fell in the Ada Estuary with one lady, Janet Bandu, after they were last seen on a jet ski.

Introduction to the Architecture Analysis & Design Language
March 11, 2013 • SEI Blog
Julien Delange
Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) Software Architecture
When a system fails, engineers too often focus on the physical components, but pay scant attention to the software. In software-reliant systems ignoring or deemphasizing the importance of software failures can be a recipe for disaster. This blog post is the first in a series on recent developments with the Architecture Analysis Design Language (AADL) standard. Future posts will explore recent tools and projects associated with AADL, which provides formal modeling concepts for the description and analysis of application systems architecture in terms of distinct components and their interactions. As this series will demonstrate, the use of AADL helps alleviate mismatched assumptions between the hardware, software, and their interactions that can lead to system failures.
There are many well-documented examples of problems in software-reliant systems:
In December, Ford Motor Company announced that it would be making software updates to the cooling systems of its hybrid 2013 Ford Escape and Ford Fusion because problems with the original cooling system design caused the vehicle to catch fire while the engine was running.
A recent study of a popular automatic external defibrillator (AED) found security flaws in the embedded software and the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) update mechanism.
A cluster of ships attached to the Ariane 5 rocket were lost when the rocket failed to achieve orbit on its maiden voyage. The failure was attributed to an "error in software design" and resulted in a loss of more than $370 million.
These types of incidents demonstrate the need to make software more safe and reliable, which motivates our focus on AADL in this series of blog posts.
Addressing Software (as well as Hardware)
Mismatched assumptions between hardware, software, and their interactions often result in system problems that are caught too late, which is an expensive and potentially dangerous situation to developers and users of mission- and safety-critical technologies. To address this problem, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) released the aerospace standard AS5506, named the Architecture Analysis & DesignLanguage (AADL). The AADL standard, which was authored by my colleague, Peter Feiler, defines a modeling notation based on a textual and graphic representation that is used by development organizations to conduct lightweight, rigorous--yet comparatively inexpensive--analyses of critical real-time factors, such as performance, dependability, security, and data integrity. AADL models capture both software and hardware components, as well as their interactions, including the association of a software process on a processor or the deployment of connection on a bus.
The AADL standard includes abstractions of software, computational hardware, and system components for
specifying real-time, embedded and high dependability systems with their software/hardware concerns and their specific requirements (such as scheduling, bus latency or jitter) systems
validating system and ensuring that stakeholders requirements can be achieved
While initial AADL efforts were experimental, organizations have been using the AADL standard for nearly a decade. An early adopter was the European Space Agency, which leads the ASSERT project for the design and implementation of safety-critical systems. This project relied on AADL since its inception and project members continue to use it to model, validate, and produce software. From this early use of the system other projects and communities have shown a strong interest in adopting and applying the language.
The AADL committee and its members tracked users experiences and, in response, published a new version of the AADL standard in 2009, with a minor revision in September 2012.
A Global Proof of Concept In 2008, the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI), a global cooperative of aerospace companies, government organizations, and academic institutions, launched an international, industry-wide program called System Architecture Virtual Integration (SAVI) to reduce cost/cycle time and rework risk by using early (and frequent) virtual integrations. In addition to the SEI, major players of the SAVI project include Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Rockwell Collins, GE Aviation, federal aviation administration, the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD), Honeywell, Goodrich, United Technologies, and NASA.
SAVI was created in response to the realization by aircraft manufacturers that the source lines of code (SLOC) in software-reliant systems was increasing exponentially. Over the past 20 years the size of aircraft software, measured in SLOC, has doubled every four years. For the next decade, the projected 27.5 million lines of code required are estimated to cost in excess of $10 billion. In addition to the increased software cost, the latest generation of aircraft, such as the Boeing 787s, will be highly interconnected and are projected to produce half of terabyte of data per flight.
Coupled with that increasing complexity is a growing reliance on embedded software to meet requirements for key features, such as greater range and comfort on fewer, more economical flights. The intent of SAVI was to pilot a new technology and a new acquisition process based on architectural models rather than paper documentation with multiple dimensions of analysis used throughout the lifecycle.
A key tenet of virtual integration is the use of an annotated architecture model as the single source for analysis. For the SAVI proof of concept, an aircraft system architecture was modeled using the AADL standard. This process allowed AVSI to capture integration faults earlier in the development process, and meet increasing demands for safety and economy.
As indicated in the graphic below, the National Institute of Standards & Technology estimated in the report The Economic Impacts of Inadequate Infrastructure for Software Testing that more than 70 percent of all system defects are introduced prior to code development, while only a small fraction are detected during that time. The remaining errors are detected in the testing phase when it's most expensive to fix. The ability to detect errors and defects prior to implementation efforts therefore reduced development costs and efforts, while enhancing overall system robustness and reliability.
The SEI technical report, System Architecture Virtual Integration: An Industrial Case Study, details the SAVI proof of concept and results, which include
multi-tier modeling and analysis of an aircraft and its subsystems
support for the needs of both system engineers and embedded software system engineers
propagation of changes to the model across multiple analysis dimensions
maintenance of multiple model representations in a model repository
auto-generation of analytical models
interfacing of multiple tools
distributed team development via a model repository
New Directions for AADL
A number of organizations actively use AADL in their modeling and analysis efforts. While AADL was originally developed for aerospace and avionics, it is now being used in many other fields, including automotive and medicine. In particular, as more medical devices are adopted and connected together, there is a growing interest in analyzing and verifying them, especially because issues may have a catastrophic impact on patients.
The Food & Drug Administration (FDA), in partnership with the Penn Research in Embedded Computing and Integrated Systems Engineering program, plans to use AADL to support the architecture of modeling concerns for the Generic Infusion Pump. One example of a generic infusion pump would be a model for a Patient-Controlled Analgesia Pump. AADL is used to specify system devices, the underlying software artifacts (in terms of tasks, subprograms), their interaction in terms of events or data and the inherent deployment over the execution platform (association with processors, buses, etc.). The language was also used to capture and analyze system behavior (dependencies among events, conditional execution of system functions according to received data, etc.)
We are also working to connect the AADL technology to other technologies being developed at the SEI. For example, SEI researchers are creating cost assessments of different iterations of system architectures. This work will explore questions including
When you have a defined and established architecture, what is the cost for a new iteration?
What is the cost and impact involved in changing an architecture?
By describing the runtime aspects of the system's deployment, can AADL help evaluate the potential impact of a modification of the execution runtime (for example, when upgrading a device)?
Future posts in this series on AADL will highlight real-world applications of AADL, which are presented by users during the AADL standard meetings. At every meeting we include user days where users reflect on their experiences with AADL and tool sets that they have developed. Please let us know your experiences applying ADDL in the comment section below.

The Pentagon has halted flights onboard its fleet of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets, causing yet another setback for the US Defense Department's most expensive weapons program.
Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of the aircraft and the largest defense contractor in the world, confirmed on Friday that the entire American arsenal of F-35s have been grounded after a routine inspection on a test plane at Edwards Air Force Base in California turned up cracked turbine blade.
"Safety is always our first consideration, and the joint inspection team is focused on ensuring the integrity of the engines across the entire fleet so the F-35s can safely return to flight as soon as possible," Lockheed Martin told the media on Thursday.
The jet's manufacturer says that stopping test runs of the state-of-the-art craft is only a "precautionary measure," but it isn't the first incident that has impacted the program. Years in the making, the humongous fleet of F-35s being developed for the Pentagon has experienced a myriad of obstacles before ever taking off the ground, and recent estimates suggest that the entire operation will cost the country $1 trillion in order to keep the jets up and running through 2050, dwarfing the original price-tag several times over. Now with yet another delay, the cost is expected to increase yet again. With each flight valued at around $238 million, though, further inspections will be required in order to make sure the entire trillion-dollar fleet doesn't go up in smoke.
Matthew Bates, a representative for the engine plant, adds to Defense News that the flight where the cracked turbine was found has logged around 700 total engine hours, and investigators should have a better idea of what caused the problem in around a week.
That doesn't necessarily mean everything will be resolved right quick, though. The B-model of the aircraft was only recently cleared for take-off after the US Navy and the Pentagon removed flight restrictions on the aircraft nine days earlier.

Piano accordion is an accordion equipped with a right-hand keyboard similar to a piano or organ. Its acoustic mechanism is more that of an organ than a piano, as they are both wind instruments, but the term "piano accordion"—coined by Guido Deiro in 1910—has remained the popular nomenclature. It may be equipped with any of the available systems for the left-hand manual.
In comparison to a piano keyboard, the keys are more rounded, smaller, and lighter to the touch. These go vertically down the side, pointing inward, toward the bellows, making them accessible to only one hand while handling the accordion.
The bass piano accordion is a variation of a piano accordion without bass buttons and with the piano keyboard in an octave lower. They typically have around 3 octaves.
The first accordion to feature a piano keyboard was probably the instrument introduced in 1852 by Bouton of Paris. Another source claimed the first piano accordion was introduced in 1854 at the Allegemeine Deutsche Industrieausstellung in München. It was showcased by the instrument builder Mattäus Bauer and quickly became a serious competitor to button accordions.
In the United States, the piano accordion dramatically increased in popularity between 1900-1930 based on its familiarity to students and teachers, and its uniformity, whereby accordion dealers and instructors did not have to support different styles of accordions for many European immigrant groups. The piano keyboard layout was also promoted by the fame of Vaudeville performers Guido Deiro and his brother Pietro who premiered the instrument on stage, recordings and radio. After the Deiro's success, popular chromatic button accordionist Pietro Frosini chose to disguise his accordion's buttons to look like a piano keyboard so as not to appear "old-fashioned." The piano accordion is the official city instrument of San Francisco,California
As of 1972 it could be largely said that the piano system dominated the English-Speaking North American continent, Scotland, and certain East European countries, while differing button systems are generally to be found in Scandinavia, France, Belgium and former Soviet countries. The piano accordion is also predominant in Italy, New Zealand, and Australia.

McCalmont's List 7 — Franz Schubert's Piano Quintet in A, D. 667 "The Trout," (1819)
July 6, 2016 by Neil McCalmont
by Neil McCalmont
Part of McCalmont's List Series
Genre: Chamber Music (Piano Quintet) – piece for piano and four other instruments; usually two violins, viola, and cello
Scoring: Piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass
Era: Classical/Early Romantic
Length: c. 35 minutes
Will you recognize it? The fourth movement has achieved fame on its own, so perhaps
Recommended Recordings: Alfred Brendel and the Cleveland Quartet; or Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Pamela Frank, Edgar Meyer, and Rebecca Young
Composer: Franz Schubert (1797-1828). Like J. S. Bach, Schubert wrote over a thousand pieces of music and received almost zero recognition for his compositions during his lifetime. In fact, since his music was so rarely performed, Schubert often had to live through the generosity of his friends in order to survive, unfortunately fulfilling the stereotype of the "starving artist." Many of his works come from the last decade of his life — he died when he was only 31. [Read more…]

Les Délices & Blue Heron in Lessons of Love at Plymouth (Jan. 19)
by Daniel Hathaway
Romantic love has worked its magic and wrought its afflictions on humankind in similar ways throughout history. Last weekend, Cleveland's Les Délices joined Boston's Blue Heron to chronicle how 14th-century European composers addressed that subject. The matrix for the collaboration between the ensembles was the celebrated Roman de la Rose, whose earliest layer by Guillaume de Lorris dates from ca. 1230. [Read on…]

The program was concise and wildly varied, with several first performances. Each work contained imaginative soundscapes and alluring musical ideas. [Read on…]
Akron Symphony in Mahler 5 (Jan. 18)
by Peter Feher
There was an unspoken tension between the composers on the Akron Symphony's January 18 concert. Gustav Mahler's hour-plus Fifth Symphony dominated the one-night-only program at E.J. Thomas Hall, which also featured an uncharacteristically short work by Richard Wagner — no slouch when it comes to profundity and grand gestures in his own music. Yet Wagner's somewhat humble place on the program provided a conceptual key to Mahler's self-contained, sometimes overwhelming symphony.

Why the United Kingdom is actually a Key Partner in the Usa State's Chevalière With the Eu
The Particular Relationship is a term which is regularly used to latinfeels establish the close ethnic, political, financial, linguistic and historical connections between the British isles and the UNITED STATES. It is often referred to as the Special Relationship because the two countries enjoy a good relationship that has cultivated over time, while the two places have different hobbies and goals. The two countries also have overlapping interests in international politics and problems, which have helped the two places to cooperate on various fronts which include countering growth and dealing with terrorism.
With regards to the topic of the Special Marriage, both the UK and the US are at a great all-time loaded with global reputation. Undoubtedly that both equally sides have superb respect for every other and get a lot of historical and shared satisfaction in their background. The two countries also publish a eye-sight of universe order and diplomacy, with the US hoping to the western for assistance and support while the UK looks to the east due to its own protection. This unique my university has helped the two nations to play an important factor role in shaping the world as we know that.
Currently, the British is one of the most crucial partners in the usa. The two countries work together in defense, cleverness, space, job, humanitarian aid, and foreign affairs. The Special Romantic relationship goes further beyond the simple camaraderie between close friends. There is a solid economic alliance as well as the partnership, which may have helped the 2 countries to excercise their economic system and develop each other's prosperity.
While there may be several grumbling in some quarters about the Unique Relationship, it is actually undeniable which it has formed the bedrock with the western bague. Without the Distinctive Relationship, the UK would have recently been nothing, yet another country. It could have linked the rates high of countries that had been economically based mostly on the US. Instead, it has played a leading position in the west's response to the the latest global financial crisis. In this way, the two countries have shown the ability to lead.
The United States features invested closely in the United Kingdom. When it comes to security, The uk has more to supply than someone else in the world. It includes one of the most stable governments in the world, is a leading light in the multimedia, and has built itself up as a universe head in many areas. With its strong economy and a low joblessness rate, The uk has been capable to weather the storm with the recession. That was in all probability one of the most critical factors in President Bush's decision to visit great britain this past September.
As a spouse in the struggle against terrorism, the United Kingdom comes with helped make immense strides in the efforts to fight international terrorism. The country provides taken a lead in the fight against international terrorism. The UK and US have worked hard to boost operate between the two countries. In case the UK will be able to continue their successful speed of expansion, then the exceptional relationship will only carry on and grow and become even more important.
Despite the credit crunch, the United Kingdom remains one of the leading financial and political powerhouses on the globe. It has looked after its high level of investment and technological growth. This combination of economic power and interpersonal welfare has helped the UK to remain a magnet for some international shareholders.
Now that we now have the positive associated with our relationship with the United Kingdom, it is very important to keep the good job our countries have done in enhancing the lives of people here in the UK. The British individuals have shown a whole lot of goodwill in helping one another through the economic downturn. And now may be the time to present our other citizens simply how much we love their endeavors. The exceptional relationship only will grow in cases where our individuals maintain the good work they have seen and done so way.
