Brynhildur Davíðsdóttir mun halda yfirlitserindi á líffræðiráðstefnunni um hlutverk líffræði í sjálfbærni á Íslandi.
Brynhildur er prófessor í umhverfis og auðindafræði við Háskóla Íslands, tengd bæði líf og umhverfisvísindadeild og hagfræðideild skólans. Rannsóknir hennar snúnast um sjálfbærni og hagfræði auðlindanotkunar.
Brynhildur Davíðsdóttir will deliver a plenary talk titled Environmental sustainability in Iceland; the role of biology.
It is well known that securing sustainable development is necessary for continued human wellbeing. Environmental sustainability is one of the three dimensions of sustainability, and as has been shown is fundamental in securing progress in the other two dimensions. But how is Iceland doing in terms of its environmental sustainability and what needs to be done to ensure we are moving in the correct direction? This presentation will first look at four sustainability metrics that all capture how Iceland is doing in terms of environmental sustainability. Next based on extensive group interviews with experts in 7 specific categories; fresh water, energy, atmosphere, ocean and coasts, land, waste and biological diversity we explore in depth where and why Iceland is doing well, what can be done better and how and who should be responsible. Results illustrate that Iceland seems to be doing well in terms of environmental sustainability mostly due to its small population and its wealth of natural resources. However its excessive and growing ecological footprint, lack of holistic and coordinated management of its environment and natural resources, significant lack of basic knowledge of Icelandic ecosystems, in addition to increased pressures due to growth in specific economic sectors indicates that much needs to be done to secure environmental sustainability with a clear role of biologists in that task.
Brynhildur is a Professor of Environment and Natural Resources within the Departments of Economics and Life and Environmental Sciences at University of Iceland and is the Director of University´s of Iceland Arctic Initiative. Dr. Davíðsdóttir has extensive teaching, research and consulting experience in interdisciplinary issues as they relate to environmental and energy analysis, such as environmental and energy policy and management, sustainable energy development, sustainability indicators, climate change mitigation and adaptation and modeling energy related technological transitions. Dr. Davíðsdóttir is also on the board of the International Society for Ecological Economic and the book review editor for the Ecological Economics journal. Dr. Davidsdottir also has served on various government committees in Iceland, e.g. was the chair of the Government appointed expert committee on greenhouse gas mitigation in Iceland and is a member of the government committee on climate adaptation actions for Iceland. She also was a member government appointed expert committee on future forestry policy for Iceland and a member of the government appointed expert committee on future energy policy for Iceland. She in addition serves on the board of directors of several companies in Iceland.
Currently Dr. Davíðsdóttir is involved in research related to transitions to low carbon and adaptive societies, blue and green growth, valuing ecosystem services and sustainability assessments.

'Eager to see a change': Downtown BIA members elect an almost entirely new board
The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) has a new board for the 2019-2022 slate — and its members are almost all entirely new.
Chairman Larry Horwitz was not re-elected

The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) has a new board for the 2019-2022 slate — and its board members are almost all entirely new.
Of the eight elected board members, Mary Anne Ducharme is the only returning member. Chairman Larry Horwitz was not re-elected.
Business and property owners voted over the course of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Results were emailed to candidates on Friday.
Tired of meetings, downtown BIA decides to improve core — by hiring a consultant
"There are some energetic … vibrant and young people that wanted to work with the BIA and were eager to see a change," said Brian Yeomans, a business development manager and board member-elect.
He said that many candidates actively campaigned and shared their platforms with different businesses to let them know they were interested in working with them and making some changes.
'Voices wanted to be heard'
"I'm not speaking negatively of the BIA presently or the current board, because they've done some great things," like working on implementing alley lights and cleaning, he said.

"But I think voices want to be heard and they wanted to have a little bit more involvement with how things were handled or run," he added.
Fellow board member-elect Pat Papadeas says change in an organization can be a healthy thing, and she's pleased to see so many new businesses that have opened up in the downtown core represented around the table among the new members.
"These are people who can make some incredible contributions in terms of their experiences in the downtown core," she said.
Horwitz not re-elected
Both Papadeas and Yeomans acknowledged that Horwitz not returning to the board is a big change.

"Larry's very invested in the downtown core, he's been very involved in the downtown for years, and it is a surprise that he's not in it, but again, he does a lot for the city, and I do hope he still stays involved," Yeomans said.
Small businesses in Windsor are 'stepping up' with Black Friday sales
Papadeas said Horwitz has always championed for a downtown that is vibrant and prosperous.
"Larry is larger than life, so he is definitely going to be, always, an involved player in downtown," said Papadeas.
Horwitz was unable to comment this weekend, but said he would speak to this at a news conference this week.
The first meeting of the new board will take place in January.
According to an email sent out to candidates by the executive director of the DWBIA, the newly elected board members are:
BAR & NIGHTCLUB - Bryan Datoc
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNER / DEVELOPER - Geoff Zanetti
HOTEL / TOURISM / RETAIL - Brian Yeomans
MEMBER AT LARGE (NON-LICENSED) - Pat Papadeas
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (LEGAL & FINANCIAL) - Mary Anne Ducharme
RESTAURANT (LICENSED) - David Prantera
RESTAURANT (UNLICENSED) - Stephanie Clark
RETAIL - Liam O'Donnell

Q: Is there is 'dict.setdefault' equivalent for sets? A common pattern when working with a set is the following:
number_list = [1,5,7,2,4,4,1,3,8,5]
number_set = set()

for number in number_list:

   #we only want to process the number if we haven't already processed it
   if(number not in number_set):
       number_set.add(number)

       #do processing of 'number' here now that we know it's not a duplicate

The lines if(number not in number_set): and number_set.add(number) bug me because we're doing two hash lookups here, when realistically we should only need one.
Dictionaries have the "setdefault" operation, which solves a very similar problem: "If the key exists in the dictionary, return the value, otherwise insert this default and then return the default". If you do this naively, IE the following, you perform two hash lookups, but setdefault allows you to do it in one
if item_key in dict:
   dict[item_key].append(item_value)
else:
   dict[item_key] = [item_value]

Is there an equivalent operation for sets? Something like if(number_set.check_if_contains_and_then_add(number)): but given a much nicer name.

A: No there is not.
The setdefault method is used to set the default value of a key in dictionaries, sets don't have values so that is completely pointless.
Try this instead if the order doesn't matter.
number_list = [1,5,7,2,4,4,1,3,8,5]
number_set = set(number_list)

for number in number_set:
   #do processing of 'number' here now that we know it's not a duplicate

A: If the profiler tells you that hash lookups contribute significant runtime, then this might work around it.
def add_value(container, value):
    oldlen = len(container)
    container.add(value)
    return len(container) != oldlen

if add_value(number_set, number):
    # process number

But why would that be? Perhaps due to a slow __hash__ method, although I can tell you now that (a) hashing integers isn't slow and (b) if you possibly can, it's better to make the class with the slow __hash__ cache the result instead of reducing the number of calls. Or perhaps due to a slow __eq__, which is harder to deal with. Finally if the internal lookup mechanism itself is slow, then there may not be a great deal you can do to speed your program up, because the runtime is doing hash lookups all the time, finding names in scopes.
It would probably be nice for set.add to return a value indicating whether or not the set changed, but I think that idea runs up against a principle of the Python libraries (admittedly not universally upheld) that mutating operations don't return a value unless it's fundamental to the operation to do so. So pop() functions return a value of course, but list.sort() returns None even though it would occasionally be useful to users if it returned self.
I suppose you could do something like this:
def deduped(iterable):
    seen = set()
    count = 0
    for value in iterable:
        seen.add(value)
        if count != len(seen):
            count += 1
            yield value

for number in deduped(number_list):
    # process number

Of course it's pure speculation that the repeated hash lookup is any kind of problem: I would normally write either of those functions with the if not in test as in your original code, and the purpose of the function would be to simplify the calling code, not to avoid superfluous hash lookups.

A: Why wouldn't you just do number_set.add(number)? The point of setdefault is that it won't overwrite the existing value for a key, if it exists. But a set doesn't have a value, just a key, so overwriting is irrelevant.

A: No there's no setdefault type method for sets, but you can do something like this:
number_list = [1,5,7,2,4,4,1,3,8,5]
number_set = set()

for number in number_list:
   if number not in number_set and not number_set.add(number):
       #do somethihng here

The not number_set.add(number) condition will be called only if number not in number_set is True.
Using this you can process the unique items in ordered way(preserving the order).
>>> number_list = [1,5,7,2,4,4,1,3,8,5]
>>> seen = set()
>>> [x for x in number_list if x not in seen and not seen.add(x)]
[1, 5, 7, 2, 4, 3, 8]

If the order doesn't matter then simply call set() on number_list:
>>> set(number_list)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

Q: Hsqldb has no data when populated via maven liquibase plugin I've created schema and populated it via Maven liquibase plugin:

It seems everything is OK. Now i'm going to src/main/resources/db/hsqldb/ folder and see three files:
dataFile.log
dataFile.properties
dataFile.script

But I don't see a CREATE TABLE testTable DDL statement in the dataFile.script.
Next in Intelli IDEA I configure datasource plugin (set jdbc hsql driver, url: jdbc:hsqldb:file:/src/main/resources/db/hsqldb/dataFile, user: sa ). Connect it, invoke query:
SELECT * FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_TABLES;

*

*I cannot see the table I try to create.

*The value of hsqldb_type field for each table - is MEMORY. I expect it to be FILE of something similar.

Any ideas?:)
PS:
1. Maven repository returns HSQLDB as the first search result, and its last version is 1.8.0.10. Actually I had to use HSQLDB DATABASE with its 2.2.9 version. It solved the problem of table creation.
2. I had to use an absolute path to the file AND the ';ifexists=true' property to connect to the existing database in IDEA datasource plugin. As a result my url connection string in the property file differ from the same used in the plugin.

A: You need to be careful about the use of file paths:
This is a relative path:
driver: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
#HSQLDB Embedded in file
url: jdbc:hsqldb:file:src/main/resources/db/hsqldb/dataFile

This is an absolute path within the current drive:
Next in Intelli IDEA I configure datasource plugin (set jdbc hsql driver, url: jdbc:hsqldb:file:/src/main/resources/db/hsqldb/dataFile, user: sa )

Try using absolute paths.
Apart from that, in your attempt to check things in an existing database, connect explicitly requiring the database to exist by adding ;ifexists=true to the connection URL.
As we are not sure Liquibase shuts down the database correctly or not, you can add a property to the Liquibase connection URL to ensure data is written fully ;hsqldb.write_delay=false. We are assuming you are using HSQLDB 2.x for this property.

A: With HSQLDB 1.8.x, liquibase <= 3.2.0 never read tables on database.
This is because catalog should be set null when retrieve JDBC metadata.
We could not force the catalog to be null, because the method AbstractJdbcDatabase.correctSchema() should not set catalog=schema, if supportCatalogs() return false.
I will post a issue for this.

Immigration to portugal

How freelancer can move to Portugal in 2022
Author: Julia Vrublevskaya PUBLISHED ON: 29 May 2022 PUBLISHED IN: Visas
Moving to Portugal
In today's world, when more and more people work remotely, without being assigned to an office or work for themselves, as freelancers, for example, immigration to Portugal is more relevant than ever. If you don't have to go to an office and can live anywhere globally, then immigrating to some warmer countries can be a great choice, as more and more people are moving to various countries in Europe and Asia for permanent residence. In recent years, Portugal has been one of the countries that freelancers have chosen for their relocation because what could be better than living in a sunny and friendly country on the Atlantic coast? The possibility to surf after work, lie on the beach at lunchtime, or just work with a computer in a cafe on the beach while being in Europe. All this is more than real in Portugal, which attracts many people who want to immigrate to more comfortable conditions for work and life.
So what are the options for a freelancer or remote worker? We will talk about this in detail within the framework of this article.
Introductory data
Let's start with two possible situations:
Situation 1. A person works for himself, a freelancer, with an income of about 1000 euros per month. He wants to immigrate to Portugal and live here permanently.
Situation 2. A person works for a company in one of the world's countries and receives 1000 euros per month. However, his work is remote, that is, he works from home, not assigned to an office, so he wants to come and live permanently in Portugal.
Our article will answer the question for both the person from the first situation and the second. That is, everything that we describe in this article will apply to both a freelancer and a remote worker who has a permanent contract in his country.
Before describing all the possible options for these situations, I would like to make a critical remark.
Disclaimer! Within the framework of this article, we do not call for illegal ways of immigration to Portugal in any way. Whatever decision you make, you take full responsibility for it.
Option 1. Correct one. Obtaining a D2 residence visa at the consulate of your country
Although this option is the most correct, we will not consider it within the framework of this article. Why? Because in 99% of cases, when applying for residence visa type D2 in your country, you will be denied.
For example, if you are working remotely under an agreement for a firm in another country, then you will most likely be refused a residence visa type D2, with a probability of 100%, because you have no connection with Portugal and, as a result, no reason to live and work here. Therefore, it is essential to have at least some kind of contract or counterparty in Portugal to show how you are connected with the country.
Even though almost 99% of all applications for a D2 residence visa are refused, it seems that it is still worth trying to apply at the Portuguese consulate of your country. Even if you don't have a lawyer, it's worth trying your luck. To get started, read our article about obtaining a residence visa D2, then contact the consulate of Portugal in your country, find out what documents are currently required for applying for a D2 visa, and submit. On the most reasonable basis, a refusal will come. However, if you did not fall into the rare number of lucky ones and the rejection still came, we move on to the second option.
Option 2. Real one. Submission of documents under Article 89.2
First of all, if you are a freelancer or work remotely and want to immigrate to Portugal, then there is no specific visa or article in the legislation under which you could legally move here with a work permit.
However, the country's legislation assumes that if a person is already in Portugal (for example, if you entered on a tourist visa or under a visa-free regime) and decided to stay here, having his motives and reasons for this, then he can declare his Portuguese interest to authorities represented by the SEF immigration service.
This situation is regulated by Article 89.2, which you can read here. In practice, this works as follows. For this moment, you have ended up in Portugal, where you originally arrived as a tourist but realized that you do not want to leave but going to stay here to work as a freelancer or remote employee, using Article 89.2. Amazing! You need to make all the necessary preparations before expressing your interest to the SEF immigration office.
These preparations include:
Obtaining a Portuguese NIF tax number
Obtaining a Portuguese Social Security Number SS
Opening an account in a Portuguese bank
Registration of your company as an individual entrepreneur
It is also optional, but we recommend that you conclude a service agreement with a Portuguese counterparty (as we wrote above, you must show your connection with Portugal)
Finally, search for housing and confirmation of the address of your permanent residence in Portugal (for example, a rental contract)
It should be remarked that to obtain a tax number and create an IE you will need a Portuguese representative or lawyer because it is just impossible to go through all these stages on your own.
Let's say you have completed all the steps in this initial phase. What's next? And then, you need to declare your interest to the Portuguese authorities in the person of the SEF immigration service. You can do this online by filling out the electronic application "Manifestação de interesse" on SAPA Portal. At this step, you express your interest to the authorities to stay in the country based on Article 89.2 and attach all the necessary documents to the portal in electronic form. Then you will need to wait for an invitation to one of the SEF branches, where you will already need to bring the originals and up-to-date versions of the following documents specified in article 89.2:
Valid passport;
Proof of legal entry into the territory of Portugal (the presence of a visa, a stamp in your passport confirming entry to Portugal, air tickets to Portugal, etc. If you entered through the territory of another country, it is essential to contact the SEF immediately upon arrival and ask to put a mark on entry into the country or, alternatively, you can stay at the hotel for 1 day, because all hotels are required to notify the SEF about their guests.);
Confirmation of the availability of means of subsistence (for 2022, the minimum salary in the country is 705 euros, but of course, it would be better if you show a higher income than the minimum salary);
Police clearance certificate from the country of origin;
Police clearance certificate from the country where you have lived for more than a year (except Portugal);
Permission for the SEF to request information about your criminal record in Portugal;
A document confirming that you have a place to live;
Confirmation of registration and absence of debts in the social security system;
Certificate of registration at the tax service;
A document confirming the creating of your individual entrepreneur or an agreement on the provision of services as an individual entrepreneur;
Availability of housing in Portugal (purchase or long-term lease).
In addition, at the time of submission of documents, you will need to pay fees and fines (for example, for expired visas or visa-free stay), which can reach several hundred euros.
An attentive reader may immediately ask: "Is everything so simple? What's the trick then?" The trick is that from the moment you express your interest in the online SAPA system until you are invited for a personal interview and submission of documents to the SEF, it may take a year, two, or even more ... All this time, you will not be able to travel outside the territory of Portugal, because from the point of view of the law, your legal stay in the country (for example, Schengen or visa-free stay) has ended. You are waiting for the decision of the immigration service.
At first, it seems like a minor problem, but in several years of my life in Portugal, I met people whose relatives and friends died, for example, and they could not even go to the funeral as they were waiting for documents, and were not allowed to leave the country's territory. In addition, the fact that you don't know how long you will have to wait is morally exhausting when a year or more has already passed, but there are still no documents...
In general, although most people resort to this option of immigration to Portugal, this is a difficult path, not without its drawbacks. Therefore, as we wrote above, the decision is only yours, and the responsibility for this decision is also yours.
Advice from the author: if you decide to follow the path outlined in the second option, then I recommend preparing for an extended stay in the country without leaving it, morally and documented. I recommend making a general power of attorney for some relatives in your home country, as it is called in some countries. If you stay for 2-3 years without being able to leave Portugal, a lot can happen. For example, your bank card will expire in your country, or you will need some documents that can only be obtained in your home country. So, your relatives with a power of attorney will be able to help you and send all the necessary documents by mail.
Option 3. Potentially working one. Applying for a D7 visa for people with passive income.
Times go by, and the legislation of Portugal is gradually changing, as well as the laws regarding the immigration of freelancers to Portugal. That is why we decided to add another possible option for the immigration of freelancers to Portugal as the third point.
You will need to prove at least 705 euros per person (the amount of the minimum salary in Portugal for 2022), and then you can legally come to Portugal without any problems by requesting a D7 residence visa from the consulate of your country. Then, upon arrival in Portugal, you can also get a residence permit, calmly working all this time remotely, like a freelancer.
It is not sure that you will be able to get this D7 visa as a freelancer in your country, but it is definitely worth a try.
Unofficial insider information. According to some subscribers of WithPortugal, who share their stories with us, freelancers who do not have passive income are recommended to apply for a D7 visa in the consulates of Portugal in some countries. Although there is still no official "freelancer visa" in the country, such behavior of consulates may be a prerequisite for the fact that such a visa will be available soon. In the meantime, it's definitely worth contacting the consulate of your country and trying various options because there are already successful cases of freelancers who immigrated to Portugal in this way.
Immigration to Portugal for freelancers - choose the option that suits you
After all, immigration to Portugal is not only the dream of every freelancer but also an important decision that needs to be considered in advance in terms of advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we have considered several options for legalizing freelancers in Portugal at once and the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Regardless of which immigration path you choose for yourself, it is vital to understand what you should prepare for and the risks and disadvantages of this decision.
Good luck and make the right decisions!

Q: Azure with SSL issue I just bought a SSL Certificate for an parked domain that im going to use for redricting users to my azure web service. The problem is that when i redrict the user to the azure webservice the certificate isn't valid for that page, i guess it's becuase it was issued to my parked domain. But the only reason why i issued it for my parked domain was because it isn't possible to register a SSL certificate for an azure webservice because when you are registering your certificate you have to validate your domain and therefor need access too email adresses that are presented by the SSL manifactor. And the email that the manifactors present are those emails that only Microsoft have acess too.
So, this what i want it to be like (not real adresses):
User visit www.helloworld.net ---> User are connected to www.helloworld.net using a valid SSL Certificate ---> User gets immediately redricted to helloworld.cloudapp.net ---> User are connected to helloworld.cloudapp.net using the same SSL Certificate
Is this possible?

A: To make this work you shouldn't use redirect, but use CNAME instead.

Here's Who Democrats Chose to Replace Nancy Pelosi

Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., talks to reporters following a meeting in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Oct. 20, 2021, in Washington, D.C. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
House Democrats have chosen Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to follow Nancy Pelosi in leading Democrats in the next Congress as minority leader.
Jeffries, a 52-year-old New York Democrat, is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Budget Committee as well as chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. He is avidly anti-former President Donald Trump, has painted Republicans as "extreme MAGA Republicans" who wish to "criminalize abortion care, end Social Security, and undermine Democracy," and has repeatedly questioned the results of the 2016 election.
"Humbled to be elected incoming House Democratic Leader," he said Wednesday in a Twitter post. "Ready to get to work."
Leftist groups and Democrats celebrated Jeffries' promotion. MeidasTouch, a progressive political action committee, predicted that he would be the "GOP's worst nightmare."

Conservative groups pointed out that Jeffries has repeatedly questioned the results of the 2016 election, claiming it was "ILLEGITIMATE."
"America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office," he tweeted in 2018

Longtime California Democrat Pelosi had announced Nov. 17 that she would not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress, saying: "For me, the hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect."
"There is no greater special honor for me than to stand on this floor and to speak for the people of San Francisco," she added. "This I will continue to do as a member of the House speaking for the people of San Francisco, serving the great state of California and defending our Constitution."
Pelosi was the first woman to control the House of Representatives. Under her leadership, Democrats have pushed some of the most radical legislation the United States has ever seen, including the Women's Health Protection Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.
The headline of this article has been corrected to reflect Jeffries' new role.

The Natick girls lacrosse team made history last night, and did so in style. Thanks to dominant performances on offense and draws, the No. 4 Red and Blue collected the first postseason win in program history, trouncing 13th-ranked Plymouth North 19-5 in the first round of the Division 1 South tournament.
The Natick girls lacrosse team made history last night, and did so in style.
Thanks to dominant performances on offense and draws, the No. 4 Red and Blue collected the first postseason win in program history, trouncing 13th-ranked Plymouth North 19-5 in the first round of the Division 1 South tournament.
"Last year was our first tournament game ever and we were knocked out in the preliminary round," Natick coach Ashley Mabardy said. "So this, for them, is huge. They're psyched and they should be so proud of themselves. We as coaches could not be any more proud of these kids. You know, they're outstanding athletes, but they're great students and they're awesome and respectful.
The Red and Blue (17-3-1) will meet Franklin at home on Saturday in the quarterfinals (time TBD). The Eagles finished 10-8-2.
The start Natick got off to in this one cannot be overlooked.
It began with sophomore Danielle Ranucci winning the draw to herself and going all the way for a goal just 9 seconds in. That sparked the Red and Blue offensively, as they scored five times in a span of 2:27 to hold a 6-0 advantage with less than five minutes gone.
As they often are in girls lacrosse, draws were vital last night.
Natick won 22 of 26, with Ranucci acting as the catalyst by winning 18 of the 21 she took. Freshman Jamie Kuehnapfel won four of five later in the game.
Another major key to the Red and Blue's success was constant pressure in the midfield.
Natick often double-teamed the Plymouth North players before the Eagles could set up their offense, which not only led to offensive transition — where the Red and Blue were able to utilize their tremendous team speed — but also kept Plymouth North from getting into any offensive rhythm.
Natick also displayed a measure of unselfishness, as there were assists on 14 of Natick's 19 goals.
With that emphasis on team play, Natick made a little bit of history.

Responding to Attacks
Teetering on Bankruptcy, This City's Pro-Abortion Ambition Could Push it Over the Brink
Written by Jay Hobbs
An attempt to stop a pregnancy center from saving lives next door to an abortion clinic is still in the works in Hartford, Conn., following a raucous public meeting that drew an estimated 200 participants from all over the state Monday night.
Following the meeting, Hartford's city council looks poised to move forward with an ordinance that would force Hartford Women's Center to post prominent notices indicating "whether or not a licensed medical provider is on premise providing care." before the end of the year.
While the specific language for the ordinance has yet to be revealed, what's clear is that it singles out Hartford Women's Center, a privately funded pro-life pregnancy center that set up a location next door to an abortion business, Hartford GYN, this May.
In response, Hartford GYN, as well as abortion lobbyist group NARAL Pro-Choice America's state-level chapter—located just one floor above Hartford GYN—have lashed out against their pro-life neighbor, accusing the center of harassing and deceiving clients headed to the abortion business.
Two years before Hartford Women's Center moved next door, NARAL made identical claims about all 50-plus pregnancy centers throughout Connecticut in a "report" that included the word "deception" 21 times in just 30 pages. Backed by rabidly pro-abortion U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, the hit piece was later used to introduce legislation at the state house in early 2017.
While that legislative attempt failed, the latest move from the abortion lobby is just more of the same, said Hartford Women's Center executive director Leticia Velasquez.
"We're offering free help to pregnant women," Velasquez told a local Fox reporter. "I don't see why there's deception."
In an interview with the Hartford Courant, Velasquez noted that fact city officials haven't visited her clinic or made an attempt to learn more about them.
"We would welcome the council to come and visit the clinic to see what we do," she said. "It seems they've picked only one side."

With his city on the brink of bankruptcy, Mayor Luke Bronin is picking a particularly precarious time to try and force a pregnancy center to speak a government message meant to steer their own clients away from their services.
Hartford is on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, and previous attempts to force pro-lifers to post similar signage have cost local taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in Maryland and New York City.
Although the efforts to force pregnancy centers to post similar signage is still in play in San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle, parallel efforts have been turned away as unconstitutional infringements in Austin (TX), New York City, Baltimore (MD), as well as and Montgomery County, Md.—which was ordered to pay pregnancy centers $330,000 in attorney's fees after having colluded with NARAL.
This summer, Missouri passed a protective measure to prevent municipalities in its state from targeting pregnancy centers after abortion proponents in St. Louis tried to strip all religious organizations from holding their own employees to a pro-life code of conduct.
Other, more onerous laws forcing pregnancy centers to speak a government message have come under scrutiny in Illinois, California and Hawaii, with a judge permanently stopping Illinois' law and the U.S. Supreme Court taking up pro-lifers' challenge to California's law earlier in November.
Tweet This: @ProChoiceCT behind effort that could push #Hartford into bankruptcy. #freespeech #prolife
"The government has no proper role to make citizens and groups post signage stating what they don't do," Deacon David W. Reynolds of the Connecticut Catholic Public Affairs Conference said. "This is compelled speech that runs directly against the Constitution's guarantee of free speech. The city leaders in Hartford have enough real issues to address without having to bow to the wishes of special interest groups like NARAL, Planned Parenthood and others."
While city officials contemplate measures to restrict the efforts of its pro-life neighbor, news broke Tuesday that a woman had to be rushed to the hospital while undergoing an abortion at Hartford GYN last month. According to the report from Operation Rescue, a witness saw emergency responders wheeling a woman out of the facility with "a sheet over her head" after she suffered heavy bleeding during a botched procedure Oct. 21.

SL-India match 'free' on Supreme TV through Dialog & PEO TV
Although Sri Lankan cricket fans had to pay to watch cricket matches on Dialog and PEO TV for many years, Supreme TV, which acquired the right to broadcast India-Sri Lanka cricket match series, has decided to broadcast it free of charge to the subscribers.
Earlier, the company charged Rs.173 from a Dialog TV subscriber to watch a cricket match and therefore, Sri Lankan cricket fans had paid about Rs.200 million or more to watch a match on Dialog TV.
The cricket match series, which is scheduled to commence on January 3, includes three T20Is and three ODIs.
Accordingly, all Sri Lankans will have the opportunity to watch the India-Sri Lanka cricket tournament for free on Dialog TV (Channel 20), PEO TV (Channel 140) and Freesat (Channel 17).
The subscribers have the opportunity to watch 'Supreme TV' by tuning the television to UHF 47 (Islandwide), UHF 49 (Western), UHF 28 (Southern), UHF 56 (Sabaragamuwa) and UHF 32 (Karagathanna) from tomorrow.

Celebrating the Life of Dr. Robert Arceci
Posted on Fri/26/June Sun/13/September by AZBio
Robert J.Arceci, MD, PhD
Division Chief, Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders
Co-Director, Ronald A. Matricaria Institute of Molecular Medicine Phoenix Children's Hospital
Robert J. Arceci, MD, PhD, a nationally prominent pediatric hematologist/oncologist and cancer researcher was born May 22, 1950 in Winchendon, MA. He died June 8, 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Dr. Arceci joined Phoenix Children's in late 2012 as Co-Director of the Ronald A. Matricaria Institute of Molecular Medicine and held the dual role of Division Chief for the Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. He also served as a professor of Pediatrics on the faculty at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, Department of Child Health. His contributions at both institutions will be sorely missed.
As Division Chief of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Phoenix Children's, Dr. Arceci led a team of more than 100, including physicians, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, Child Life and psychosocial staff, clinical researchers and administrative support staff in the Center's outpatient clinic and inpatient floor. His expertise, commitment to excellence, and support of the staff made him a popular leader.
In addition to this leadership role, Dr. Arceci was an excellent clinician, known both nationally and internationally. Some of his patients traveled from across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. He was considered one of the world's experts on histiocytic disorders and pediatric acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). Parents admired his gentle and encouraging manner with their children. They also appreciated his honesty and hopefulness as they faced their child's difficult diagnosis. His quick grin, distinctive laugh and playful spirit lived alongside a warrior's spirit. He applied his intense drive to find new and novel approaches to treating and even eradicating pediatric cancer. With messy diagrams on the back of a napkin he could explain the purpose and process of personalized medicine to a science novice.
In his laboratory, located on the campus of Translational Genomics (TGen) Institute, he worked with eight scientists. He is most noted for his research in molecular medicine as a precision treatment for pediatric leukemia. His research was based on the belief that a new approach was needed to accelerate the discovery of cures for children and adolescents with cancer. He sought novel and effective approaches to unlock genetic codes and develop drug therapies in real time to improve the outcome of these young patients.
In 2013, Dr. Arceci was awarded a $1 million, two-year grant from the St. Baldrick's Foundation to study new treatments for childhood cancer. The team has identified important changes in AML that can be exploited to develop more effective and less toxic treatments using new types of drugs. His work has helped identify novel genetic changes in the cancers of patients that have led to their treatment with specific, targeted treatments.
Through his body of work, Dr. Arceci was well known and highly respected in the worldwide scientific community. Most recently, he held leadership roles with the National Cancer Institute on Pediatric Leukemia and Lymphoma, Children's Oncology Group (COG), Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the St. Baldrick's Foundation. He was also the chairman of the COG AML Strategy Committee. Previously, he was a founding board member of the Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation, chaired the NCI Pediatric Leukemia and Lymphoma Committee, was a member of the National Clinical Trials Network Committee and a board member of the PDQ.Gov committee that writes and publishes treatment summaries for all childhood cancers.
Additionally, Dr. Arceci served as Chairman of the Nikolas Symposium Committee that organizes an international meeting each year on the Histiocytic Disorders and was past president of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology.
Dr. Arceci's research has been published in a multitude of manuscripts, textbooks and grants. He was the founding editor and served the last ten years as Editor-in-Chief of Pediatric Blood and Cancer, the official journal of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) and the Society International of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP), the principal pediatric hematology/oncology journal worldwide. He also served as editor of several textbooks, including Pediatric Hematology.
Both for his daily commute and weekend getaways, Dr. Arceci loved to ride his motorcycle and was active in the riding community. He became something of a local celebrity on rides that raised funds for children's cancer programs or research. He was a lead rider for Bob's Biker Bash, an annual event for Phoenix Children's. He also made friends at the Grand Canyon University Relay for Life, a run to raise funds to fight cancer at Phoenix Children's. He delighted in seeing former patients at this event and they loved to see him outside the clinic.
Dr. Arceci has always demonstrated a commitment to the psycho-social needs of children and families facing cancer. This story was captured for the big screen when he originated the Emmy Award-winning movie A Lion in the House (2006), which follows the stories of five children and their families as they battle pediatric cancer. From the trauma of diagnosis to the physical toll of treatment, the six-hour film series documents the stresses that can tear a family apart as well as the courage of children facing the possibility of death with honesty, dignity and humor.
Prior to joining Phoenix Children's, Dr. Arceci served as the King Fahd Professor of Pediatric Oncology and co-director of the Michael Garil Leukemia Survivors Program at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he had previously served as director of pediatric oncology. Before that, he was director of pediatric hematology/oncology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital.
Dr. Arceci earned a bachelor's degree from Trinity College, and doctorate and medical degrees from the University of Rochester. He completed his residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at Boston Children's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Dr. Arceci leaves behind his wife of nearly 43 years, Jean, and sons John and Andrew, along with their fiancés Denise and Asako, respectively.
A celebration of his life and work is planned for September, Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, in Phoenix, AZ.
Friends and colleagues who wish to honor Dr. Arceci and help continue his work are invited to support the new home for the Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders that is in design now. Within this beautiful new space there will be a tribute to Dr. Arceci, who was a vocal champion for the project and especially for the children and families who will be treated there.
For more information, the family has asked that you please contact the Phoenix Children's Hospital Foundation at (602) 933-4483.

Q: how to break out of a loop listening on stdin? I have a while loop in a separate thread listening on stdin, waiting for text coming from another process. When my program is exiting, I would like to exit from this while loop and join the thread.
std::string line;
while (std::getline(std::cin, line))
{
    std::stringstream linestream(line);
}

A: This is one of the rare cases where detaching the thread could be appropriate. When the program exits the thread will be terminated.
std::thread thr(whatever);
thr.detach();


Do-it-yourself checkout lanes are becoming increasingly common in grocery stores and retail centers throughout the country. Self checkout systems allow for retailers to maintain more open checkout lines while efficiently managing staff and payroll concerns. They also provide customers an alternative to waiting in extended lines to purchase just a few items. The convenience they offer may make self checkouts seem ideal for both customers and management, but retailers are finding that the machines may provide some shoppers an opportunity for illegal price switching.
Standard checkout lanes, when in use, are staffed by no less than one cashier per register. Self checkouts, on the other hand, are typically supervised in groups, with a single store employee responsible for as a many as eight separate units. This may not present a problem in most cases, as a vast majority of customers simply scan and bag their items, enter their payment, and are on their way. An individual with other intentions, however, may find the lower level of oversight a situation to be exploited.
Changing tags, or price switching, is a method commonly used to pay less than the appropriate retail price for an item by switching the Universal Product Code (UPC) or price tag with that of a less expensive item. With retailers relying on computerized scanning equipment, items are often scanned and bagged in standard checkout lanes without cashiers paying very close attention to the prices. In self checkout lanes, cashiers are able to devote even less attention to each customer. Thus, it may seem quite easy, for example, to take a UPC from one shirt and switch it with that of a lower-priced shirt. At the self checkout, the switched tag is scanned, the shirt goes in the bag, and the individual pays the lower price, all without attracting notice from the computer system or store personnel.
Although price switching may seem to be less serious than shoplifting, Illinois law recognizes no difference. Under the Illinois Criminal Code of 2012, price switching is considered retail theft and depending on the value of the items involved, violators may face misdemeanor or felony charges. Penalties may include fines of up to $25,000 and up to three years in prison.

James Gandolfini Will Be Missed: Towering Talent Gone
by Joel D Amos at June 20, 2013 7:37 pm . Updated at June 20, 2013 7:51 pm . Comments
James Gandolfini dies of heart attack… the news struck especially raw in terms of celebrity deaths. Sure, Gandolfini is most known for his groundbreaking work on TV's The Sopranos. But, for this Movie Fanatic, he was a character actor whose talents knew absolutely no bounds.
We most recently saw Gandolfini in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Killing Them Softly. In the latter, as we said in our Killing Them Softly review, he gave perhaps the performance of his career on the silver screen. It was a turn that was heartbreaking, powerful and menacing. And think about it: How many actors can pull off that feat? Not many, that is for sure.
So, with his passing, not only has the TV world lost an icon, but the film world now has to adjust to life without the man whose gifts for the art were larger than his persona. And you see that is exactly why this particular celebrity passing is so shocking. Gandolfini was a bright light who illuminated every scene and in real life, every room. Sometimes we feel that those that burn that bright are not supposed to be extinguished so quickly. But then again, too sadly, that is often the case.
Gandolfini first caught our eye when he asked a few questions of an uber-stoned Brad Pitt in 1993's True Romance. You could see the beginnings of an actor who could envelope any character, but also elevate any film that he was in as well. His being cast could even make a poor movie tolerable, such as his roles in Charlie Sheen's Terminal Velocity and Sean Penn's She's So Lovely.
Can you imagine anyone else playing the roles he did in Get Shorty or Crimson Tide? Hardly, and that was years before the New Jersey native would come to embody one of its most famous fictional characters. When he starred opposite Julia Roberts and Pitt (again) in The Mexican, he crafted a hit-man character that was unlike any that had ever been seen on screen. He was overtly sympathetic, yet still able to instill fear.
Gandolfini could do it all, from comedy -- such as Surviving Christmas -- to noir drama (The Man Who Wasn't There) and true story riveters such as Zero Dark Thirty. And each time the performance would top the last, but it was always pure Gandolfini.
Recently audiences got to discover even more depth of talent from Gandolfini with his scene stealing roles in The Taking of Pelham 123, providing the voice for Where the Wild Things Are, and showing us a whole new version of what a parent is in Welcome to the Rileys and David Chase's Not Fade Away.
It is fitting that one of his last roles was in a film (Not Fade Away) written and directed by the man (Chase) who gave him the gift of immortality with the role of Tony Soprano. Yet still I feel as if a sinkhole has just appeared here in Hollywood and unfortunately, we cannot see anything or anyone that could ever replace it.

James Gandolfini got his start on the big screen, but you probably know him best as Tony Soprano from HBO's wildly popular The Sopranos. Expect to see Gandolfini have a big return to the big screen using his new found popularity since the end of The Sopranos.

In this film from the 1960's, Deutsche Bundesbahn shows the various kinds of control tower technology in use at that time. Today we'd call this an infotainment film. Lots of Zeitgeist.
On my JMRI panels I modified the requirement to press and release source button, then press and release destination button within a couple seconds. That works reasonably well, but the tracking logic makes the state machine more complicated.
Since I have physical push buttons I'm planning to change the logic to "press and hold source, then press destination".

Fifty Years Ago This Spring, Millions of Students Struck to End the War in Vietnam
Steve Early
In May 1970, 4 million students went on strike across the country, shutting down classes at hundreds of colleges, universities, and high schools and demanding an end to the Vietnam War. Fifty years later, their rebellion remains an inspiration, as radical student politics is back on the agenda.

"Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer, I hear the drummin'
Four dead in O-hi-o . . ."
—"Ohio," Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (1970)
President Richard Nixon prided himself on the accuracy of his political prognostication. He was never more prescient than in a remark made fifty years ago this month to his secretary, just before delivering a White House address that announced a US military invasion of Cambodia. "It's possible," Nixon told her, "that the campuses are really going to blow up after this speech."
Blow up they did, as Nixon's unexpected escalation of an already unpopular war in Vietnam triggered a chain of events culminating in the largest student strike in US history.
In May 1970, an estimated 4 million young people joined protests that shut down classes at seven hundred colleges, universities, and high schools around the country. Dozens were forced to remain closed for the rest of the spring semester.
Over the course of this unprecedented campus uprising, about two thousand students were arrested. After thirty buildings used by the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) were bombed or set on fire, heavily armed National Guards were deployed on twenty-one campuses in sixteen states.
On May 4, at Kent State University in Ohio, Guard members fresh from policing a Teamster wildcat strike shot and killed four students and wounded nine. Ten days later, Mississippi State Police opened fire on a women's dormitory at Jackson State University, killing two more students.
America's costly war in Southeast Asia had finally come home with stunning impact, creating what a later President's Commission on Campus Unrest organized by Nixon (known as the Scranton Commission) called "an unparalleled crisis" in higher education.
The strike across campuses revealed the power of collective action. Born out of the shutdown, there was an explosion of activity by hundreds of thousands of students not previously engaged in anti-war activity, creating major political tremors across the country, including helping to curtail military intervention in Southeast Asia.
As Neil Sheehan notes in A Bright Shining Lie , his prize-winning Vietnam War history, the "bonfire of protest" ignited by Nixon's "incursion" into Cambodia was so great that the White House "had no choice but to accelerate the withdrawal" of US troops from the region. Unfortunately, the halting pace of American disengagement continued for another five years, amid much further bloodshed among the Vietnamese (who suffered an estimated 3 million civilian and military deaths overall).
The Path to Protest
Some campus radicals started objecting to US policy in Vietnam during the first term of Nixon's predecessor, Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson campaigned in 1964 as the "peace candidate" in a presidential race against Senator Barry Goldwater, a rabidly right-wing Republican. But over the next two years, President Johnson began a massive military buildup to prevent his ally, the Republic of Vietnam, from being toppled in the southern part of the country by a communist-led nationalist insurgency.
Criticism of Johnson found its earliest and most polite expressions in "teach-ins" — on-campus debates and tutorials about Vietnam. But lots of talk soon turned to action. Hundreds and eventually thousands of local protests were organized — against military conscription and on-campus officer training, Pentagon-funded university research, and visiting corporate recruiters from arms makers like Dow Chemical Company.
An insurgent offensive in February 1968 and mounting US casualties (which eventually totaled sixty thousand) shattered any hope that Johnson had for military victory. Even after the president declined to run for reelection, anti-war protestors still descended on Washington, DC, in increasing numbers. In 1967, fifty thousand people marched on the Pentagon. Two years later, three hundred thousand gathered in protest near the White House.
Nixon replaced Johnson in January of 1969, after Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey, Johnson's vice president and loyal supporter of the war, was defeated in a three-day race. Nixon claimed to have a "secret plan" to bring peace to Vietnam and withdraw the five hundred thousand US troops still deployed there.
Once unveiled, Nixon's plan turned out to be "Vietnamization" — shifting the combat burden to troops loyal to the US-backed government in Saigon, while conducting massive bombing of targets throughout Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. By April 30, 1970, the United States was sending ground troops into Cambodia as well.
Students at elite private institutions long associated with anti-war agitation were among the first to react. Protest strikes were quickly declared at Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, and Yale, where many students had already voted to boycott class in support of the Black Panther Party, then on trial in New Haven.
Meanwhile, a Friday night riot outside student bars in downtown Kent, Ohio, was followed by the burning of a Kent State ROTC building over the weekend. Ohio governor James Rhodes ordered a thousand National Guard troops to occupy the campus and prevent rallies of any kind.
The Guard came geared with bayonets, tear gas grenades, shotguns, and M1s, a military rifle with long range and high velocity. Chasing a hostile but unarmed crowd of students across campus on May 4, one unit of weekend warriors suddenly wheeled and fired, killing four students.
Bringing the War Home
As historians Nancy Zaroulis and Gerald Sullivan described the scene in Who Spoke Up? :
It was a moment when the nation had been driven to use the weapons of war upon its youth, a moment when all the violence, hatred, and generational conflict of the previous decade was compressed into 13 seconds when the frightened, exhausted National Guardsmen, acting perhaps in panic or simple frustration, had turned on their taunters and taken their revenge.
In the aftermath of this fusillade, Guard officials orchestrated a cover-up exposed in The Killings at Kent State: How Murder Went Unpunished , by investigative reporter I. F. Stone. Even the FBI later found that the mass shooting was "unnecessary."
The deaths of Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, Sandy Scheuer, and Bill Schroeder had a powerful impact on hundreds of thousands of students at Kent State and beyond. This time, the casualties of war were neither draftees from poor communities in the United States nor Vietnamese peasants — all of whom had been dying in much larger numbers for years. Nor were they African Americans, like the three student protestors fatally shot at South Carolina State University two years earlier, or the two murdered by state troopers at Jackson State University later that May.
The students in the kill zone at Kent State were mainly white and middle income, with draft deferments. Some had aggressively challenged the Guard's presence, but many were simply bystanders, hanging around on the grass between classes. One target was an ROTC cadet who had just left a military science class before getting a bullet in the back. Another student, who survived, was paralyzed for life. (For first-person detail, see Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties by Thomas M. Grace, a history major who was also wounded that day.)
In newspaper photos and TV coverage, the dazed Kent State survivors looked like college students everywhere. As one strike organizer at Middlebury College in Vermont recalls, those images "created a sense of vulnerability and crisis that many people had never experienced before."
The resulting calls for campus shutdowns came from every direction. Students at MIT tracked which schools were on strike for a National Strike Information Center operating at Brandeis nearby. Soon the list was ten feet long. Despite its initial association with militant protest, most strike activity was peaceful and legal. It consisted of student assemblies taking strike votes, and then further mass meetings, speeches and lectures, vigils and memorial services, plus endless informal "rapping" about politics and the war.
A Radical Victory
The strike brought together a wide range of undergraduates, faculty members, and administrators — despite their past disagreements about on-campus protest activity. Thirty-four college and university presidents sent an open letter to Nixon calling for a speedy end to the war. The strike also united students from private and public colleges and local public high schools in working-class communities. On May 8, in Philadelphia, students from many different backgrounds and neighborhoods marched from five different directions to Independence Hall, where a crowd of one hundred thousand gathered outside. City high school attendance that day dropped to 10 percent, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer .
Hamilton College professor Maurice Isserman, coauthor of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s , believes that it was the more moderate students, those "who were anti-war but turned off by the rhetoric of the late '60s New Left" who "emerged as the leading force" in the aftermath of the upsurge. Indeed, many new recruits did gravitate toward anti-war lobbying, petitioning, and electoral campaigning rather than further direct action.
Yet the Scranton Commission viewed the politicization of higher education as a victory for student radicals. According to its later report, "students did not strike against their universities; they succeeded in making their universities strike against national policy." To prevent that from happening again and get campus life back to normal, the commissioners agreed that "nothing is more important than an end to the war."
In a Boston Globe interview on the thirtieth anniversary of this upsurge, Isserman argued that it was "the product of unique circumstances that, not surprisingly, provoked outrage from a generation of students already accustomed to protest and demonstration. It's unlikely that we'll ever see a movement quite like this again."
That was certainly true for the next few years, as the Vietnam War wound down and Nixon, after winning reelection, conspired his way to impeachment, public disgrace, and forced resignation in 1974 over the Watergate scandal.
Yet over the past two decades, college and high-school students have walked out again, across the country, in highly visible and coordinated fashion. In March 2003, they poured out of 350 schools to protest the impending US invasion of Iraq. Fifteen years later, about 1 million students at 3,000 schools walked out to join a seventeen-minute vigil organized in response to the mass shooting at Parkland High School in Florida. And just last September, hundreds of thousands of students left school to join rallies and marches organized as part of a Global Climate Strike.
Universities and high schools are now experiencing a shutdown of their campuses, albeit of a very different kind. But when these institutions open back up, conditions will require a new set of political demands. A return to normal will not be good enough. When school is back in session, the history of a strike occurring after the shadow of death fell on campuses fifty years ago, thanks to Richard Nixon, may become more relevant to challenging "national policy" under the equally toxic Donald Trump.
