Q: Sliding menu listeners In this program I have implemented the sliding library. Implement this library, I am trying to create a MenuActivity class that processes all the menu item slider options, onClick listeners, etc. For now the class looks like this:
public class MenuActivity extends SlidingActivity{

    SharePrefManager sm = new SharePrefManager(MenuActivity.this);
    RelativeLayout ask_a_question, life_prediction;
    TextView aries,taurus,gemini,cancer,leo,virgo,libra,scorpio,sagittarius,capricon,aquarius,pisces;
    String isLoggedIn;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu);

        ask_a_question = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.ask_a_question);

        HashMap<String, String> checkLogin = new HashMap<String, String>();
        checkLogin = sm.getuserDetails();
        isLoggedIn = checkLogin.get(SharePrefManager.KEY_ISLOGEDIN);

        ask_a_question.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (isLoggedIn.equals(0))
                {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You must be logged in", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }

                else
                {
                    Intent i = new Intent("com.example.btshome.ASKPAGE");
                    startActivity(i);
                }

            }
        });

    }

}

This class is basically implementing the library and setting up the sliding menu items and the onClick event handlers. This class is also accessing the Preferences, so as to check if the user is logged in.
On my MainActivity class I am extending this class and trying to get the functionality out of it.
public class MainActivity extends MenuActivity{

    Button login;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        login = (Button)findViewById(R.id.log_in_button);
        login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            startActivity(new Intent("com.example.btshome.LOGINACTIVITY"));
            }
        });
    }
}

On the following implementation the following error is occurring:

Q: Scroll contexts are left open and they never get deleted or expired in Elasticsearch v7.3? I am using ES v7.3 and using slicing to stream data from ES but what i observe is that after we stream the data a few times some scroll contexts are left open and they remain open for days and does not get expired or killed and hence the search keeps on going and high cpu spikes are observed. Also in the logs we get the following message
[2020-02-07T06:49:33,559][DEBUG][o.e.a.s.TransportSearchScrollAction] [ip-1-0-104-220] [1234717] Failed to execute query phase

Would request if anyone can guide us if we are missing any setting on index level that we should enforce so that these open contexts get killed or get expired after a timeout is reached.
To check and delete the open contexts i am using the following command respectively,
GET _nodes/stats/indices?filter_path=**.open_contexts
DELETE /_search/scroll/_all

Moreover my timeouts are,

This subject has been a mainstay of the UK university system for centuries and is still going strong! Over 1000 graduates received classics degrees in 2015 and a quarter of those went on to further study, usually a Masters, and although many stayed with Classics, or moved slightly to history or archaeology, some changed to topics like law and teaching. Half of those who did go into work found jobs in London or the South East. Common jobs included working in education, marketing and advertising, or the finance industry as advisors or even accountants. Personal contacts were particularly important for these graduates in finding their first job, so good networks may help your job search when the time comes.
The numbers of people taking politics degrees fell sharply last year and we'll keep an eye on this one - it can't really be because of graduates getting poor outcomes as politics grads do about as well as graduates on average. Most politics or international relations graduates don't actually go into politics - although many do, as activists, fundraisers and researchers. Jobs in local and central government are also important. Other popular jobs include marketing and PR, youth and community work, finance roles, HR and academic research (you usually need a postgraduate degree to get into research). Because so many graduates get jobs in the civil service, a lot of graduates find themselves in London after graduating. Politics is a very popular postgraduate subject, and so about one in five politics graduates go on to take another course - usually a one-year Masters - after they finish their degrees.

Despite Good Intentions
Thomas W. Dichter
Paperback published 2003-05-31 in United States by University of Massachusetts Press
Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press
Published: 31 May, 2003
Paperback published May 2003 in United States
For more than thirty-five years, Thomas W. Dichter has worked in the field of international development, managing and evaluating projects for nongovernmental organizations, directing a Peace Corps country program, and serving as a consultant for such agencies as USAID, UNDP, and the World Bank. On the basis of this extensive and varied experience, he has become an outspoken critic of what he terms the "international poverty alleviation industry." He believes that efforts to reduce world poverty have been well-intentioned but largely ineffective. On the whole, the development industry has failed to serve the needs of the people it has sought to help. To make his case, Dichter reviews the major trends in development assistance from the 1960s through the 1990s, illustrating his analysis with eighteen short stories based on his own experiences in the field. The analytic chapters are thus grounded in the daily life of development workers as described in the stories. Dichter shows how development organizations have often become caught up in their own self-perpetuation and in public relations efforts designed to create an illusion of effectiveness. Tracing the evolution of the role of money (as opposed to ideas) in development assistance, he suggests how financial imperatives have reinforced the tendency to sponsor time-bound projects, creating a dependency among aid recipients. He also examines the rise of careerism and increased bureaucratization in the industry, a

Pegasus Spyware: What Is It & Should You Worry?
Pegasus is a spyware that has been developed by an Israel-based technology firm.
Cyrus John
Updated: 18 Jul 2021, 10:39 PM IST
(This story was first published on 31 October 2019 and has been republished from The Quint's archives after publication of reports under the 'Pegasus Project', revealing how journalists, political leaders, activists and others may have been spied upon by the Israeli-made spyware Pegasus.)
WhatsApp might tout itself as a secure messaging platform, but even that hasn't saved it from being affected by spyware called Pegasus.
Pegasus, which has been developed by an Israel-based technology firm known as NSO Group, allows the hacker access to the phone's camera, microphone, files, photos, and even encrypted messages and emails. Basically, the entire phone. And remember that it affects both Android and iOS devices.
How does it affect the phone?
Well, the hacker just needs to WhatsApp call the phone he wants to infect. The receiver doesn't even need to answer the call, and the phone still gets infected. You can also send Pegasus via email and text messages.
WhatsApp has sued the NSO Group alleging that it is at fault for this mishap. It also has a list of all the users that have been affected by Pegasus. Now WhatsApp and a digital security firm Citizen Lab are sending alert messages to people who have been affected, but we still don't know the exact number of affected users.
Here's How You Can Tell If Your Phone Has Pegasus Israeli Spyware
Many users posted those messages on social media which is currently the only visible way to know who has the Pegasus spyware on their phone.
Apart from that, there is no other way to be sure as the spyware doesn't account for any unusual activity or software lags on the phone.
Pegasus just sits inside the device and quietly keeps feeding information to the hacker. What's worse is that there is no way to get rid of this spyware apart from discarding the phone. Even a factory reset doesn't kill it.
Govt Must Reveal If it Bought Pegasus to Spy on Phones: Apar Gupta
So, the people who have been affected should just discard the phone and when they buy a new phone they should install all the updated versions of apps. You should also change all the passwords of cloud-based websites you log in to as Pegasus gains access to all the passwords you had on the old phone.
This is the only way to be sure you're safe.

This ministry in our parish is open to any child who has received her or his First Communion. A server is not only an assistant for the presider, but a model for the assembly. Training is provided.
The Lector is God's storyteller and the storyteller for the community. The lector publicly tells the story that identifies us through Sacred Scripture proclaimed at the Mass. Lectors proclaim the Word of God clearly and understandably so that all who hear may respond. Training is provided for this vital ministry.
If you wish to consider this ministry, please contact the parish office at 775-882-1968.
These lay people are sometimes referred to as Eucharistic Ministers. They assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass.
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist also serve by bringing communion to parishioners who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or in their own homes and unable to get to church.


What Can You Expect From A Lease-Option Website?
What Will a Lease-Option Website Deliver?
That's easy. It will deliver Internet leads for your business without your having to tie up your operating cash.
If you have any questions about how to turn your website into a lead generating website, please give me a call. (530)615-3353.
Upgrade your site to do a heckuva lot better in converting your site visitors to leads.
Convert your site to be mobile responsive so you can reach the 50% of site visitors who search with their smartphone or pad.
Integrate your site with whatever social media you use.
Get traffic that will jump start your search engine position.
Jump ahead of your immediate competition so they don't get business that the Universe wants you to have.
Build a custom website to suit your business, a lead producing website from scratch, get it well situated on Google and get it producing leads with no upfront cost to you.
I create a complete, producing marketing system at my expense and then lease it to you when it's finished. You know how a lease-option works for that new Lexus you were eyeing. You pay for it while you use it and then you can either buy it outright at the end of the lease or turn it back to the dealer, and move on.
Adapt my production to accommodate your goal or vision and your advertising budget. You tell me what you want or need and I make it happen.
But, there is a caveat: I only take on projects that I am sure will produce as I expect. I want you to be darned glad I'm working for you and doing a project right takes a lot of time. I don't have the time to do projects that I don't think will work.
My work isn't expensive and it isn't cheap. It delivers high value at a reasonable cost, and I'll always be frank about what your project will cost, and you can decide whether it makes sense to you or not.
There's only one (well actually two) ways to find out about the possibility of our doing business. Call — (the number's all over this site), — or fill out the form and I'll contact you. Fair enough?

"A DEEP SEA TIGER" INS KALVARI TO COMMISSIONED BY PRIME MINISTER IN DECEMBER 2017
Pune 21 Nov 2017 (PCP NEWS) : After seventeen years Indian Navy to get INS Kalvari, "A Deep Sea Tiger Shark", a Diesel Electric Conventional Submarine, which will be commissioned in the 2nd week of December, by the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
INS Kalvari which was to roll out in 2012, it is the first of the six Scorpene class submarines. These are being built in India by Mazagon Docks Limited, which is a Ministry of Defense's owned shipyard, having collaboration with France's Naval Group (earlier called the DCNS). This Submarine will have Anti-Ship Missiles and Long-Range Guided Torpedoes and Modern Sensor Suite that will enable it seek out the enemy from long ranges.
The Scorpene Project was signed in October 2005 and was to cost the exchequer Rs 23,652 crore. The project has seen delays and cost overruns. While India has one of finest submarine arm, acquisition of these critical platforms suffered a jolt after allegations of corruption in the late eighties. It was alleged that kick-backs were paid when India bought submarines from Germany. Investigations that spanned over decades remained inconclusive and successive governments shied away from acquiring submarines. India is now building a fleet of Nuclear Powered Submarines that are capable of firing Nuclear Missiles from under the sea.
The Indian fleet of submarine has been declining steadily. It now has just 13 conventional submarines, in which nine Russian made Kilo-class (EKMs) and four German-designed HDWs (SSKs), most of which are over three decades old. As against India's dozen-odd conventional submarines, China has fleet of about 60 odd conventional and Nuclear Submarines. Increasingly, these are being spotted in Indian Ocean Region (IOR). According to estimates of the Pentagon the Chinese People's Liberation Army (Navy) will have about 70- 80 conventional and Nuclear Submarines.
In the late 1990s, New Delhi cleared the 30-year submarine building plan. It was envisaged that Indian Navy would buy six submarines each from the Western and Russian Bloc and subsequently come-up with its own submarine design.
While the project failed to take-off, the 30-year submarine plan was tweaked subsequently. India went for mix and match of Conventional and Nuclear or Strategic Submarines, which were included at a later stage.
India's sea dominance in its own backyard is increasingly challenged by China. Submarines are key to "Sea- Denial". Lurking underwater they deny the enemy space to operate in the seas. And, therefore are critical to dominating vast waters of the oceans and seas. PCP/SDJ 11 30

Alycia Debnam-carey Boyfriend, Age, Height, Dating, Is She Gay Or Lesbian?
Home Actors & Actresses Alycia Debnam-Carey Boyfriend, Age, Height, Dating, Is She Gay Or Lesbian?
With a fanbase that admires her and is large enough to create a subreddit for her, Alycia Debnam-Carey is an actress riding high in the golden age of television. She might not be an American, but through her talents and beauty, she has stamped her feet on one of America's favorite past times, television shows. Her resume includes the spin-off of the iconic long-running show, Fear the Walking Dead and The 100.
Alycia Debnam-Carey means different things to various fans of those shows, but one thing that both sets of fans can agree on is that Alycia is a great actress. Learn more about the Australian actress by reading below.
Alycia Debnam-Carey is the product of the love between Leone Carey, her mother and her father, whose name is unknown, however, she was born on the 20th of June in 1993, in New South Wales, Australia. Right from a young age, Alycia was interested in arts and she pursued that interest in musical instruments, learning and playing percussion instruments such as cymbals and drums at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. Before she enrolled at Newtown, she already had acting credits for appearing in a short film, Martha's New Coat. She was eight years old at the time.
Her acting talent clearly speaks of someone with a long career as an actress in front of her, but acting is not the only thing Alycia is skilled at over here. She is also book-smart, graduating at the top of her class in high school with several academic accolades, including the Premier's Award for scoring over 90 in six different subjects. She has carried the brilliance into the interpretation of her roles and her execution of it.
She starred in a couple of Australian projects, both in film and television before she made her way to Hollywood. Appearing in shows like McLeod's Daughters, Dance Academy and films like Dream Life, Jigsaw Girl allowed Alycia Debnam-Carey to display her qualities to talent scouts from across the pond in America. When Alycia Debnam-Carey clocked 18 years of age, she traveled to the United States where she made her first appearance in a United States Film Industry project, Next Stop Hollywood. The reality show, which was a six-part documentary, put Alycia in competition with other Australian actors who were seeking a breakthrough in the world's biggest film industry.
Her time in Hollywood gave her a chance to audition in person for a few roles that were being cast at the time. She auditioned for a couple of roles, including the lead role in CW Network's The Carrie Diaries. Although she did not get the role, her audition tape helped her secure a lead role in The Devil's Hand.
The Devil's Hand and Into the Storm, two films Alycia starred in were both released in the same year in 2014. Since 2014, Alycia Debnam-Carey has starred in other film and television projects like Friend Request, A Violent Separation, etc. She started appearing on The 100 as a guest star, but she has continued to appear on the show in a recurring role due to her character's status as a fan favorite. The actress was also cast to play Alicia in Fear the Walking Dead in 2014. She has continued to appear on the show ever since, starring in 47 episodes so far.
In her short career, she has been nominated for nine awards, including the Saturn Awards, and she has won four of them.
When it comes to relationships, she is currently not in one. The actress has instead opted to focus on her budding career in the film industry. There were rumors of a relationship with Marcus Castrus going awry due to Marcus' infidelity, but since the actress prefers keeping a tight lid on her personal life, there is no confirmation for that.
Is She Gay or Lesbian?
Perhaps tomorrow Alycia Debnam-Carey will announce to the world she is gay, but as at the writing of this article, Alycia is a fully heterosexual woman. Her lack of a public male partner has mostly been down to personal choice rather than her sexuality.
Alycia Debnam-Carey is definitely a talented actress, but she is also a beautiful one. At a height of 5 feet 5 inches and a body weight of 55 kg, Alycia's body is a marvel of art. Accentuated with body features like dark brown hair and green colored eyes, she is a joy to look at.

How to Disclaim an IRA
by D. Laverne O'Neal
Giving up an inheritance might sound like the act of a madman. After all, it's free money that's yours to keep. However when you inherit an individual retirement account, you might have good reasons to turn it down. Accepting the inherited IRA might mean taking mandatory distributions every year. These will boost your income -- and your tax liability.
Disclaiming an IRA
You have to disclaim an IRA within nine months of the account owner's death. Get in touch with the IRA trustee, typically a bank or other financial institution. Banks typically require that you complete a form and produce the death certificate. The IRS requires that you write a letter stating that you irrevocably disclaim the IRA. Submit the letter, along with the form and death certificate, if required, to the IRA trustee.
Taking assets from the IRA you plan to disclaim will void the disclaimer. You can, however, take the required minimum distribution for the year of death, because it must be distributed by Dec. 31 of each year. The RMD amount is based on life expectancy as determined by IRS tables. The younger the beneficiary, the smaller the amount of the yearly RMD. The smaller the RMD figure, the lower the yearly tax liability.
Spouse Beneficiary
If your spouse leaves you an IRA, you have a convenient option. You can treat it as your own IRA -- assume the IRA -- and start making contributions to it. You won't need to start taking distributions until you turn 70 1/2. This option does not immediately increase your tax liability and allows the account to continue to grow, tax-deferred.
Non-Spouse Beneficiary
On the other hand, if you inherit an IRA and are not the spouse of the decedent, you have two choices. You can take the entire amount of the IRA as a lump sum within five years or start taking the RMDs right away. Spouses can also choose one of these options. A non-spouse beneficiary might want to disclaim an IRA in favor of a contingent beneficiary to reduce taxes and allow the IRA to remain open -- accruing earnings -- for as long as possible.
Primary vs. Contingent Beneficiary
The primary beneficiary of an IRA is the decedent's first choice to inherit the account. The contingent beneficiary is the next in line. For example, the decedent might have designated a child as primary beneficiary and a grandchild as contingent. If you, as primary beneficiary, disclaim an IRA to which there is no contingent beneficiary, the proceeds of the account will go to the decedent's estate. Estate taxes can be considerable.
Fidelity.com: Inherited IRA
D. Laverne O'Neal, an Ivy League graduate, published her first article in 1997. A former theater, dance and music critic for such publications as the "Oakland Tribune" and Gannett Newspapers, she started her Web-writing career during the dot-com heyday. O'Neal also translates and edits French and Spanish. Her strongest interests are the performing arts, design, food, health, personal finance and personal growth.

Many of us are familiar with the concepts of «direct» and «indirect speech». Some of the students even tried to master this material more than once. We can easily "turn" sentences from one speech to another but, for some reason, when it comes to double quotes vs single quotes, confusion begins.
Before starting to refresh the rules in our minds, let's remember that the punctuation marks are special elements of writing that serve to denote formal grammatical, semantic and intonation division of speech in writing. The main purpose of using single quotes vs double quotes in English is the selection and presentation of direct speech (both oral and written), coming from a particular person. The double quotation marks can be found in fiction and poetry, where they are used to style the statements of the characters in the work. It is equally important to use quotes when citing. Indeed, in this case, you will save yourself from plagiarism and achieve scientific certainty. So, let's consider the main situations when you should use single vs double quotes in English.
Quotes are used when referring to any name of the work. «The modern family» kids are all grown up.
Quotes in writing show your sarcasm. Were you really «ill»?
Quotes in English are written at the top of the line.
The colon is not set indirect speech. After the words introducing the direct speech, a comma is usually put, and the first word of direct speech is written with a capital letter.
If a direct speech opens a sentence, then the comma after it is inside the quotes. «You are right,» he said.
If you are writing dialogue, then note that each new replica must begin with a new line. «They think it's a good idea,» said John.«I don't agree,» I replied.
Series of radio shows and television series.
In English, there are two types of quotes - double and single. Double quotes are most commonly used, although single quotation marks are often used in the American version of the English language.
«Didn't she say 'I was busy yesterday' when I asked her why she did not come and meet me?» he wondered to himself.
As you can see, the rules of using single quotation marks are simple. You just need to understand this and put it into practice. But what punctuation marks should be put in the case when a direct speech begins, then interrupts, and then continues again? Pay attention to an example.
First, open quotes and direct speech. Then quotes are closed. After the affirmative sentence, you should re-open the quotes and continue the direct speech. And in the end, of course, close the quotes. Well, do not forget that the dot is placed inside the quotes. Dashes, question marks, and exclamation marks are placed before closing quotes only if they are included in a direct speech or quotation.
If you need to add supplementary information or explanations in your text, but it is long for brackets, then we'll tell what to do. Here you can read about the difference between footnotes and endnotes, and tips to use them.


Or is this simply a targeted advertisement?
There's a bit of a conversation going on at the minute regarding Nvidia, producers of powerful PC gaming equipment and parts, and the upcoming port of Grand Theft Auto V which will be hitting PC's this March 24th. The whole thing started when a GTA forum user posted an image with the text "Is your PC ready for Grand Theft Auto V?" alongside the "The way it's meant to be played" which is the Nvidia tagline.
Some users speculate that this is Nvidia gearing up for a driver update for the game whereas other users say that this is simply a targeted advertisement. GPU related software compares your GPU capabilities and often advertises you the latest game you're capable of running.
Take this report with grain of salt unless we hear more from Rockstar or Nvidia on the matter. On a related note, some users think that the pushed back release date, which is related to the Heist launch date, may have something to do with AMD sorting out their driver update for the game. Oh and let's not forget that upcoming Nvidia press event in March, though it's probably going to be something related to the Shield and their newest Tegra X1.

Q: Hibernate-Spatial Query for Points within an area Dear stackoverflow readers,
I'm currently working on an application that has the requirement to load specific items based on its coordinates. Example: I want all shops from coordinates x or within 15 km of it.
I have been building this web application in Java EE 6 and used Hibernate 3.3 for data persistence to my Postgres database. After some reseach I found Hibernate-Spatial as an possibility to achieve my goal. I installed Postgis and have Hibernate-Spatial running.
I'm using Hibernate 3.3, Hibernate-Spatial 1.0, PostgreSQL 9.2 and postgis-jdbc 1.3.3.
I created an entity which has a location field:
@Column(columnDefinition = "Geometry", nullable = true)
@Type(type = "org.hibernatespatial.GeometryUserType")
private Point location;

Initially I thought I could create a Circle and basically query on every point which is located in the circle. But this seems harder than I thought. So hard that I'm starting to think I made the wrong choice of using Hibernate-Spatial.
My question is if it's possible by using Hibernate-Spatial to query on every Point within a specific boundry (coordinates x and y km's from there).
I'm also interested in other possibilities to solve my requirement. I've been thinking about the following possibilities:

*

*Just use a Native query on PostgreSQL, map those results to entities and use those in the other parts of the application (Basically remove Hibernate-Spatial and use native queries).

*Switch to Hibernate-Search and use Lucene to fulfill my task.

*Something completely else

Can anyone please provide an example of how I can achieve my wish in Hibernate-Spatial or how I can achieve my requirement in another way.

A: For the PostgreSQL/PostGIS dialect, Hibernate Spatial supports the dwithin function.

boolean dwithin(Geometry, Geometry, double) - Returns true if the
  geometries are within the specified distance of one another

Paraphrasing the Hibernate Spatial tutorial, the query would look something like this:
String wktCenterPoint = "POINT(10 15)"
Geometry centerPoint = wktToGeometry(wktCenterPoint);
...
Query query = em.createQuery("select e from Event e where dwithin(e.location, :centerPoint, 15) = true", Event.class);
...

This would return all events within 15 units from the center point.
However the distance given in dwithin will have the same units as the underlying dataset, not necessarily kilometers.  If the dataset units are meters, the distance will be treated as meters.
If the dataset is in lat-lng, the distance will be degrees. If this is the case, and your search distance is small (15 Km is small), and you are at low latitudes, you can approximate a Km as 0.009. This will give you a perfect search circle at the equator, but as you move north or south this circle will turn into an ellipse with the long axis pointed north and south. At +/- 60 degrees latitude, the ellipse will be twice as tall as it is wide. Obviously not ideal, but it may work in your situation.
The other alternative is to reproject and store your dataset in PostgreSQL as a projected dataset with units of meters. This would distort your data if displayed on a map at large scale, but your search would then work as expected.

A: by below mention code you can get all location within 50 to 110 meters as i use 0.001, you can use distance according to your requirements.
GeometryFactory factory = new GeometryFactory(new PrecisionModel(), 4326);
        factory.createPoint(new Coordinate(longitude,latitude));
        Point comparisonPoint = factory.createPoint(new Coordinate(longitude,latitude));
        predicates.add(SpatialPredicates.distanceWithin(cb, geom from db), comparisonPoint, 0.001));

distanceWithin() function take distance in degree which you have to cast to geograph but hibernate Spatial doesn't support so there is another way by which you can achieve this by providing distance in decimal according to your requirement.link is mention below for decimal points.

Before beginning his Hollywood career, American actor Robert Emhardt studied at the London Academy of Dramatic Art before joining the BBC as a stock actor. Returning to the United States, Emhardt had a successful run on Broadway before making his screen debut in the TV movie "Marco Millions" in 1939. Maintaining his stage career, Emhardt had a slow start in Hollywood, not landing his first major project until 1950 on "Suspense," a live TV drama. Other parts followed, on "Kraft Theatre" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." In 1957 he took his first major film role, as Mr. Butterfield in Delmer Daves' BAFTA-winning Western, "3:10 to Yuma." His next major project was playing the hood Earl Connors in Samuel Fuller's brutal "Underworld United States," a gangster film about revenge. The following year, Emhardt gave strong supporting performances in Roger Corman's drama "The Intruder," about racial tensions in the South, and Sidney Lumet's "The Group." Emhardt continued to work in the '70s, mostly on television, but was unable to find a strong recurring role, instead making guest appearances on numerous shows.

Holy Redeemer School in Kensington follows safety protocols after employee tests positive for COVID-19
Dec 10, 2020 Local
By Richard Szczepanowski
Immediately after learning that an employee at Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Kensington, Maryland, tested positive on Dec. 9 for COVID-19, school officials there contacted parents to alert them of the situation and put into operation a contingency plan that was established before the start of the school year.
"We will remain cautious, and I have directed all 'close contacts' (of the affected employee) to remain home and attend school virtually tomorrow," Tommy Corrigan, principal of the Montgomery County school wrote in an e-mail to school parents on Dec. 9.
On Wednesday, Dec. 9, the employee tested positive for COVID and contacted the school, and the school alerted Archdiocese of Washington Catholic Schools Office officials and parents that same day.
When notified that the employee tested positive for COVID-19, the school immediately required the employee to quarantine for 10 days. The employee may return to school after exhibiting no symptoms for at least 48 hours. "Thankfully, the employee is feeling fine physically and healthy at the moment," Corrigan wrote in his e-mail to parents.
In preparation for the new school year during the COVID-19 pandemic, each Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Washington developed its own reopening plan, had that plan reviewed by the archdiocese's Catholic Schools Office, and resumed classes in the fall in a manner that they determined was best for their local school community.
The archdiocese's Reopening of Schools Task Force issued a document, "Onward Together in Faith," to guide Catholic school communities in their reopening plans. That report outlined three possible return-to-school models: distance learning, where all instruction would be offered virtually; blended learning that combines in-person and distance learning where strict health and safety measures are enforced and students and staff are screened daily before entering the building; and modified classroom, where schools would be open for in-person instruction, and where face coverings are required at all times, classroom set-ups provide for social distancing and students and staff are screened daily before entering the building.
In addition to those three options, the Catholic Schools Office also offered a "Temporary Transfer Program." In this program, parents who would prefer distance learning only for their child could work with their school principal and the Catholic Schools Office to transfer to a school offering virtual instruction full time until the parent is comfortable returning to in-person instruction.
About 26,000 students attend classes at 91 archdiocesan and independent Catholic pre-kindergarten through high schools located in the Archdiocese of Washington. Of the Catholic schools in the archdiocese, 15 percent are following the distance learning model, and 85 percent chose the blended learning model or the modified classroom option.
Kelly Branaman, Secretary for Catholic Schools and Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Washington noted that "in the 85 percent of our schools operating in some type of in-person learning, our rate of positive cases (of COVID) within these schools continues to be low."
"Since August, we have managed a total of 79 total positive cases out of our 52 archdiocesan Catholic schools, and that includes teachers and students," she said. "Currently, we only have four open cases following the Thanksgiving holiday."
"We are confident our established protocols continue to be successful in keeping our students and staff safe," Branaman added. "Due to the diligence in following our opening guidelines and safety protocols, principals, families and our Board of Education have all reported that locally practiced procedures are going well."
Approximately 375 pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students attend Holy Redeemer Catholic School. The school follows stringent safety protocols that include students directly entering their classroom from an exterior door and not using the hallway unless to use the restroom; requiring the use of face masks at all times; classrooms prominently marked with six-foot social distance parameters; larger classes using the school gymnasium and a modular trailer in order to guarantee appropriate social distancing; special subject teachers rotating to students' classrooms so that students do not have to change and share classrooms; and splitting the rather large kindergarten class into four separate classes.
"I want to compliment Mr. Corrigan on the management of not only this incident, but the safety protocols and procedures the school is implementing on a daily basis," Branaman said.

Home / Politics / Photo of Kanhaiya Kumar falsely shared as celebrating death of 76 CRPF soldiers in 2010

Photo of Kanhaiya Kumar falsely shared as celebrating death of 76 CRPF soldiers in 2010
by Nibedita Sen
A photograph of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, including Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya is circulating on Twitter with the claim that the death of 76 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers was celebrated in JNU campus.
pic.twitter.com/XhXomZWwz4
— Satyamev Jayate (@patriotindian12) January 12, 2020
The photo has the mark of 'Social Tamasha', a Facebook page which has often been found circulating misinformation. The text on the picture reads, "कैसे भूल सकते हो। जब छत्तीसग़ढ में 76 जवान शहीद हुए थे तब इसी JNU में जश्न मनाया गया था। (How can you forget when 76 CRPF soldiers were killed in Chattisgarh, JNU had celebrated the day.)"
2010 DANTEWADA MASSACRE
The massacre of 76 security personnel took place in Chattisgarh on April 6, 2010. According to an April 12, 2010 report by NDTV, a group 'Forum Against War on People' had organised an event in JNU, opposing the killing of Maoists. The event was held on the day of the massacre which led to clashes within the varsity premises. Student wings of both BJP and Congress unitedly alleged that the event celebrated the Dantewada attack. 'Forum Against War on People' however claimed that the event was set to be held on April 5 but had to be delayed for some reasons.
The report also mentions, "The group [Forum Against War on People] that organised the function didn't seek prior permission from the university authorities, but it claims the event had nothing to do with the killings in Dantewada."
PHOTOGRAPH SHOT IN 2016
Alt News ran a reverse image search and found the same picture used in a May 13, 2019 story by Outlook, crediting it to photojournalist Sanjay Rawat.
Alt News contacted Rawat who confirmed that the photograph was shot by him on September 10, 2016. It shows students celebrating the victory of CPI (ML)-affiliated student body All India Students Association (AISA) and CPI's student wing Students' Federation of India (SFI) in the 2016 JNU students' union elections.
Furthermore, Kanhaiya Kumar was a student at JNU between 2011 and 2019. The Dantewada massacre took place in 2010.
A photograph from 2016 was falsely shared with the claim that that it shows JNU students, including Kanhaiya Kumar, celebrating the attack on CRPF jawans in 2010. This was when Kumar was not even a student at the university.

Karen MacKenzie's Address to CQI WofS on ISO 45001 (December 2018)
Health & Safety Systems: What has Changed?
One year on from Karen's presentation on the Changes to Health and Safety Systems (December 2018) for the West of Scotland Chartered Quality Institute, we are releasing the slides for free public access.
Health & Safety Systems: What has Changed? from The Scottish Quality Management Centre
Slide notes:
1. Health & Safety Systems: What has Changed? (OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001) An address to the Chartered Quality Institute (West of Scotland branch) by Karen MacKenzie MCQI; CQP; MASQ; FCIPD; IRCA Principal Auditor www.sqmc.org/training/occupational-health-and-safety-courses December 2018
2. The journey from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018
3. The purpose of ISO 45001:2018…. Is to help you create an Occupational Health & Safety Management System based on minimising occupational risks and improving the health and safety of workers and overall working conditions. For these reasons, your organisation must provide your workers with a safe and healthy work environment, proactively anticipating the possible occurrence of incidents and avoiding any harm or injuries.
4. Major differences between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001 ISO 45001 is process-based – OHSAS 18001 is procedure based ISO 45001 is dynamic in all clauses – OHSAS 18001 is not ISO 45001 considers both risk and opportunities – OHSAS 18001 deals exclusively with risk ISO 45001 includes the views of interested parties – OHSAS 18001 does not
5. A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT…… These points represent a significant shift in the way H&S management is perceived. OH&S is no longer treated as a "stand alone" but must be viewed within the perspective of running a sound and sustainable organisation. This change is driven by Annex SL, and brings International Management Systems into alignment with each other (e.g. Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety).
6. 18001 and 45001 differ in approach…. Nonetheless, a management system established in accordance with OHSAS 18001 will be a solid platform for migrating to ISO 45001
7. What does ISO 45001 look like? The new standard is based on the common elements found in all ISO management systems standards and is also based on the P-D-C-A (Plan-Do-Check-Act) model, allowing organisations to plan what they need to do to minimise the risk of harm. The measures they implement should also address concerns that lead to long term health issues and absence from work, as well as those that give rise to accidents.
8. Specific Changes….. Context of the organisation – you must consider the internal and external issues relevant to your organisation's purpose, its strategic direction and its ability to achieve the intended results of the Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S Management System. Defining scope – since it is focused on running a sound and sustainable organisation, the scope will be more closely aligned with scopes of other management systems. Numbering (e.g. operational control in 18001 is 4.4.6 and in 45001 it is 8.1 to align with 14001 and 9001)
9. The Management System, Leadership, Worker Participation and Consultation…. • The new standard calls for leaders to be active and responsible, rather than the more passive role that could be interpreted from the previous standard. • For example, making decisions on issues like risk assessment topics will now be almost impossible without strategic leadership advice, except in the instance of responding to an incident.
10. Planning and actions to address risks and opportunities…… Risk-based thinking is the 'hottest' change compared to 18001 and identifying risks has to include business risks. Risks and opportunities now need to be considered for all aspects of the OH&S Management System, including all compliance issues and even the context of the organisation.
11. More about authority and ability to exercise control and influence….. The OH&S Policy is not a new document, but it must be clearly aligned with the context and the strategic direction of the organisation. This is one of the places where top management can demonstrate their leadership, creating a policy that expresses commitment to continual improvement, compliance with legal requirements and conformance with management system requirements
12. OH&S Objectives and how to achieve them…. • Objectives are established to maintain and improve OH&S performance. • 45001 contains a separate clause for planning and is more structured; it should involve integration with other business processes, such as business continuity, risk, financial and human resources etc.
13. Information, communication and documentation….. Greater emphasis on process rather than on procedures
14. Operation and the management of change….. A clause on management of change has been added, thereby according high importance to this process. The term hierarchy of controls is still used, but the phrase used in other parts of the document is 'eliminate hazards and reduce OH&S risks'. •More elaborate planning is required now.
15. Monitoring activities and determining the effectiveness of such activities….. Requirements are more specific., such as monitoring and measurement of:- Legal requirements Operations related to hazards, risks and opportunities Frequency and methods have been made part of the (monitoring and measuring) requirements
16. And finally….internal audit and management review Management System First and last in the Management System
17. Summary….. a 12 step transition process Identify and assess Identify and assess hazards Assess Assess risks and opportunities Demonstrate Demonstrate leadership Review Review the scope of the OH&S management system List List all interested parties Identify Identify the context of the organisation
18. Summary….. a 12 step transition process continued Evaluate Evaluate OH&S performance Establish Establish operational controls Control Control documented information Set Set OH&S objectives and plans for achieving them Plan Plan actions Determine Determine the compliance obligations.

The law asserts that if there are several ways of achieving the same goal, people will eventually gravitate to the least demanding course of action. In the economy of action, effort is a cost, and the acquisition of skill is driven by the balance of benefits and loss. Laziness is built deep into our nature.

New Music Friday: Who Dropped What? (Rap/Hip Hop/R&B)
Previous post: How Do You Calm Your Anxiety?
Next post: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon – Sam and Dean as side characters
Posted 2 months ago by Drew Feinerman
Before getting into what is new on this New Music Friday, I would like to take a moment and acknowledge that today would have been the 78th birthday of the great Jimi Hendrix. For those that have never listened to Jimi, if you want to break all of your preconceived notions as to what the guitar should sound like, go listen to his music. His creativity with the guitar is unparalleled, and his free spirit resonated through his playing.
Perhaps more impactful than his music was his ability to begin to break down racial barriers in the music industry. Other than Jimi, rock and roll was being primarily popularized by white bands and musicians, and although rock was rooted in black music and culture, it was mostly white artists that were becoming successful off of the new form of music. However, thanks to Jimi's influence, people began to understand the roots of rock n roll, and white rockers largely paid homage to Jimi and other black musicians and artists like him.
Now that we have celebrated the legendary Jimi Hendrix, let's get into this edition of New Music Friday.
Juicy J – THE HUSTLE CONTINUES
Three 6 Mafia co-founder Juicy J is a staple in the rap game at this point, and his latest album indicates he has no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. With help from a number of features from Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Logic, Megan Thee Stallion and more, Juicy blends his classic Memphis style of rap with a variety of different styles and over a variety of production styles. Juicy is just the latest out of a group of legacy rappers to drop new albums in 2020, and like Nas, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes and some of the other older that have dropped albums this year, it arguably over delivers on expectations.
Lil Yachty – Lil Boat 3.5
Back with yet another album named after his likeness, Lil Yachty is back to both over and under deliver. Yachty's music is somehow both repetitive and fresh, as he somehow has the ability to pump out a few distinct songs in a sea of relative similarity in terms of production, flow and rap style. One of Yachty's genuine strengths, his melodic understanding, is on display across the album, and with features from Playboy Carti, Vince Staples, Lil Durk and others, Yachty is able to contrast his style with other's. All in all, the album, like most of Yachty's work, is a little good and a lot forgettable.
Statik Selektah – The Balancing Act
Boston based hip hop producer icon Statik Selektah is truly a legend in the world of hip hop production, and his latest album sees him pairing his laid back beats with a dope variety of different rappers, old and new. From Black Thought, Nas, Method Man and Havoc to Benny The Butcher, Kota The Friend, Marlon Craft, Jack Harlow and Joey Bada$$, there is an awesome mix of different rappers from different eras, and they all deliver on the dope production from Statik. This album has a mix of moods and messages, and the main theme of balance feels especially relevant in the uncertain times we are currently living in. This album is a masterful display of both production and rapping, and is absolutely worth a listen.
Chavo, Pi'erre Bourne – Chavo's World
Chavo, a rap prodigy of producer Pi'erre Bourne, is here with his first big time collaboration with his mentor. His style is not anything new in the trap scene, but with Bourne's production at his back, his first big impression is not so bad. There needs to be more variety in terms of flow and rap style, but there is clearly talent that Chavo possesses. This album is a bit straightforward in terms of the rapping, but the production provides nice variety from song to song. The album is an interesting listen for those looking for a new face in the trap scene.
Flee Lord – No More Humble Fashion
New York rapper and protege of the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Flee Lord has a distinct flow and style that is most comparable to the style of the rappers of Griselda. Unsurprisingly, his new album and second new album of the year features Griselda's Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine, among other rappers. The production is eerie, gritty and dark, and perfectly compliments Lord's style of rapping. The album is one of the more unique albums by a unique rapper, and those looking for a darker and grungier tone from their rappers need not look further.
Donte Thomas – how you like them APPLES?
Portland based up and coming rapper Donte Thomas is full of talent. His latest album displays said talent, as his flow, rhyming, lyrical ability and narrative ability are all top notch. Moreover, the production perfectly compliments his rapping style, and his musical understanding and ability to create a cohesive album with a central theme is uncanny. Backed by a slew of features from redveil and other up and coming rappers, Thomas shows on his album that the future of hip hop is bright and in good hands.
Willie The Kid, V Don – Deutsche Marks 2
Michigan based rapper Willie The Kid and producer V Don are here with a dark and gritty album that takes a page out of the Griselda and Flee Lord book of rap style. Speaking of, Flee Lord is just one of the few rappers to be features on this project, as his style perfectly fits with the production and rap style of Von and Willie. Likewise, Von's production perfectly compliments Willie's rap style, and the two of them have an undeniable chemistry together. The album is definitely a change of tone, and an interesting pairing of production and rapping.
New EPs
Curren$y, Harry Fraud – Bonus Footage
New Orleans based rapper Curren$y and producer Harry Fraud have a great chemistry, and it is evident on their new EP. Fraud's chilled out production style is a perfect fit for Curren$y's laid back flow, as Curren$y is able to flow with ease over Fraud's production. With features from Cordae, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher and Gunplay, the lyrical potency of the EP is bolstered. Overall, it is easy to wish this EP was longer, and the five songs all hit in terms of lyrics and production.
Saba – "So and So," "Areyoudown? Pt. 2"
Releasing two songs earlier this week, Chicago rapper Saba is back to display his blinding flow and insightful lyricism. Opting for a chill approach and a more energetic one, Saba allows his flow to carry him on "So and So," while he and fellow Chicago rapper/singer Tobi Lou joins him on "Areyoudown?" Pt. 2″ to bring the energy. The two songs are stylistically different, although both do a great job at highlighting the strengths of Saba. New music from Saba is always a welcome sight, and hopefully more will soon follow these two songs.
Cordae – "The Parables"
Cordae is one of rap's biggest young stars, and songs like "The Parables" demonstrates ate the immense talent he possesses. His lyrical ability is among some of the best in the game, while his flow is extremely refined and precise. The accompanying video highlights Cordae's simple yet effective style of rapping, as he is able to allow his flow and lyrical content to carry him to the top. Cordae will continue his rise into the mainstream music scene, as someone with this much talent and a good head on his shoulders is bound to succeed.
Young Scooter, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Zaytoven – "Dope Boys & Trap Godz"
Although Young Scooter may be a new name in the trap scene, with legends like Rick Ross and 2 Chainz at your back and Zaytoven on the beat, it is hard to fail. The beat, obviously, is very trap oriented, as Scooter, 2 Chainz and Ross each add their own unique styles of rap to the track. The song is bouncy and intense, and the driving production keeps the energy high from start to finish. The track is a classic old school trap track, and is as fun as it is aggressive.
Riff Raff, T-Pain, La Chat, DJ Paul – "Say What You Want"
This song is an immediate callback to 2000's rap and r&b, as one may be able to infer from the artists involved on the track. While if this track was made fifteen years ago it would be considered just another rap and r&b song, in 2020 the now old school style is nostalgic, and brings the listener back to simpler times. T-Pain's vocals are as passionate and strong as ever, while Riff Raff and La Chat both add their classic 2000's brand of rapping to the track. The song is a lot of fun, and a great listen for those looking for an older sound.
Young Franco, Denzel Curry, Pell – "Fallin' Apart"
Miami rapper Denzel Curry is known for his aggressive and intense style, but he effortlessly switches to a more fun and upbeat style on this track. The Latin style of production is a surprisingly perfect compliment for Curry, as his Miami roots shine through in his ability to adapt to the new music style. Likewise, Franco is perfectly able to flow over the fun production, and the two of them are great compliments to one another. The song takes Curry out of his element, but he successfully adapts and raps with ease over the beat.

I have just completed my senior year at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although economics, politics and history are all academic interests of mine, I consider music to be my true passion.
Music has always been my passion, and it is a driving force for the way I think, act, and conduct myself on a daily basis. I have been playing the clarinet and saxophone since the age of ten, and the ability to play music at a high level has allowed me to embrace music on a multitude of levels. I am both an avid player and listener of music, and I find myself constantly in search of new artists who bring something new and different to the art form, and writing about new music has become a new outlet for me to explore what is going on in the musical world.


A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has ordered the removal of Dumo Lulu-Briggs as the governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Rivers State for the 2019 governorship election.
In a three-hour judgment delivered yesterday, the Presiding Judge, Justice Emmanuel Obile, the court declared that Precious Baridoo, who was duly nominated during the October 4, 2018 Accord Party governorship primaries, is the authentic candidate of the party.
Obile stated that Lulu-Briggs did not participate in the party's October 4, 2018 governorship primary and so could not be the party's candidate. The court stated that the defendants failed to challenge the affidavit of the plaintiff to controvert the facts contained therein.
Obile ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove the name of Lulu-Briggs as the Rivers State governorship candidate for Accord Party and enlist the name of Precious Baridoo as the candidate of the party.
Baridoo had earlier told the court that he was duly nominated during the party's governorship primaries on October 4, 2018 before he was illegally substituted with the name of Lulu-Briggs who did not participate in the party's governorship primaries.
He stated that Lulu-Briggs cannot claim to be the governorship candidate of Accord Party when he was not even a member of the party.
Lulu-Briggs defected from his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Accord Party in protest against the "imposition" of Tonye Cole as the governorship candidate of the APC.
Counsel to Baridoo, Mr. Wori Wori, described the judgment as victory for democracy, adding that the rules of political engagement must be respected.

"This is my first non-food review, but I must express my admiration for Sandra, the indefatigable owner of and stylist at Alta Moda. She is a consummate hair dresser and saved me from my 'Anton Chigurh' hairdo. Alta Moda is a classy little spot on the ever-trendy 124 street, though this salon predates 124th's current trendiness by approximately 20 years. Highly, highly recommended.
I have used this salon for quite a number of years. I have had both Terry and Judy as my stylist and both do excellent colors and cuts. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed , I always feel at home there. Customer service is excellent and the facility is always clean and very attractive. I think it is probably one of the best salons in Edmonton. I have referred friends to this salon"
