The U.S. Government's Budget Cuts Are inflicting Distress On National Security + The Space Base
By Elliot Holokauahi Pulham, Chief Executive Officer, Space Foundation
One of the more disturbing bits of data in Space Foundatin's The Space Report 2014 concerns the continued slashing of federal space budgets by the United States. For the first time since the Space Foundation began tracking this data, global government spending on space declined in 2013—and with most other countries either maintaining or increasing their space spending, the global decline can be laid entirely at the feet of the U.S. government.
This has huge negative implications for the vanishing U.S. space industrial base, U.S. national security and U.S. economic vitality and competitiveness. Of all the places where the feds could be trimming a little fat, it would be hard to pick one that is more harmful to the country overall. If you accept the idea that the best way to work ourselves out of this decade-long economic funk is to grow the economy, then space (and aero) is the one place we should be investing heavily to get the U.S. economy moving again.
The data, for the record: Overall, the global space economy grew by 4 percent in 2013, reaching a record $314.17 billion. Most of this growth was in the commercial sector, where the commercial space products sector grew from $114.55 billion in 2012 to $122.58 billion in 2013, and where the commercial infrastructure sector grew from $112.30 billion in 2012 to $117.49 billion
The 4 percent growth rate was slower than in recent years, where the growth rate has ranged between 6 and 7 percent. This drag reflects a global 1.7 percent decline in government space spending, driven entirely by a 9.4 percent cut in U.S. government space spending. While the U.S. was cutting its investment in space by nearly 10 percent, outside of the United States government space spending increased by 10.1 percent.
For a country that prides itself in being a leader in all things space, this should be setting off loud alarm bells. If this is not the tipping point that sends the U.S. space industrial base into a death spiral, you can certainly see it from here. In a country that has all but gone hysterical over its dependence on Russia for rocket engines and astronaut transport to and from the ISS, a ten percent decline in investment while competitors are making a ten percent increase in investment should simply be unacceptable.
The United States is budget-cutting itself out of options. If the nation is going to do that, it should do so in full understanding of the impacts.
Unfortunately, the country's recent track record in this regard has been less than stellar. If you consider the current flap over the RD-180 engine, you can easily understand the political thinking that drove a decision to invest in Russian rocket scientists rather than U.S. rocket scientists.
But the potential consequences were clearly not all equally balanced.
One of the potential consequences was a loss of U.S. industrial capacity to produce rocket engines, which should have been deemed an unacceptable risk, and mitigated with research and development funding which would have kept U.S. rocket scientists actively engaged in developing the tools, technologies and manufacturing capability needed to "turn on" the production of American-made engines, virtually on demand.
Another risk was clearly the "major disagreement with Russia" scenario that has, indeed, come to pass. Again, a trickle of funding to keep American capabilities "warm" would have been wise. The nation's current scramble for options need not have looked like this, if elected officials had simply exercised a little prudence in protecting a critical national technical capability.
Similarly the gap between the space shuttle retirement and new capabilities—be they governmental or commercial—need not have become such a black hole for the U.S. to fall in. But while headline-weary politicians were anxious, after the loss of Columbia, to bring the shuttle program to a close, they were not equally anxious about national means for launching humans to space.
NASA should have been given more money, much sooner, in order to have the next generation astronaut transportation system ready to go when the shuttle retired. Instead, America opted for flat budgets and cheap solutions and is now faced with the bellicose suggestion that we use trampolines to send astronauts to the ISS.
All of this is not to take advantage of 20/20 hindsight to say "I told you so." Rather, it is to suggest that the consequences of America's past lack of vision serve as an object lesson in the critical need for foresight at this juncture. Cutting the already woefully underfunded national space enterprise by ten percent is the wrong answer.
Cutting the U.S. government space budget from $45.56 billion (2012) to $41.26 billion does almost nothing to help balance a U.S. federal budget of $3.9 trillion. It simply assures that NASA, the U.S. Air Force, NOAA and others are less capable, and the U.S. industrial base is more fragile, than Americans should be willing to accept.
This counsel is not new or particularly original. The Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry (2002), two "Augustine Commissions" (The Advisory Committee on the Future of the United States Space Program, 1990 and Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee, 2009), the Aldridge Commission (President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy, 2004), among many others, have sounded the alarm on declining budgets and U.S. space capabilities.
Two additional Augustine reports, Rising Above the Gathering Storm (2005) and Rising Above the Gathering Storm-Revisited (2010) were brutally honest in their assessment of the decline in federally funded research and development, and its impact upon our workforce, industrial base and international economic and technologic competitiveness.
The View From Here is that current and planned cuts to U.S. government space budgets do almost nothing to save taxpayer dollars, while further injuring the space industrial base (jobs and manufacturing capabilities lost), national security and technical and economic competitiveness. Strong political leadership is needed to reverse these troubling trends.

After the album Love Has No Reason yielded the No. 1 Country single, "Are You On The Road To Lovin' Me Again", Debby Boone returned to producer Larry Butler for her fifth studio album, Savin' It Up (No. 49 Country), in 1981.  The result was not as successful.  The album's first single, "Perfect Fool", only reached No. 23 Country and No. 37 AC.  The follow-up, "It'll Be Him", missed the Country Top 40 peaking at No. 46.

Boone has since not appeared on any Billboard Country chart.  After the release of this album, Boone instead concentrated on a national tour starring in the musical, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, before recording several Christian albums during the rest of the 1980s.

Q: Terraform & Ansible controller and private key distribution I've got a bunch of servers not provisioned using IaC that are all accessed by SSH from my local machine. I access those servers from 2-3 local machines and I create different private keys per local machine.
I've got a ton of other infra to provision and considered having a cloud provisioning server so that the locals didn't need Terravision and Ansible beyond the initial bootstrap but quickly realised that it would mean having privates keys on a server that most likely would have other users with sudo access. Seems like the best approach is to continue as I am with all private keys local.
I'm going to end up with a load of servers and even more key pairs. It's also probable that I'll have others needing server access.

*

*Is the approach I'm taking to provisioning from local machines the best approach or are there alternatives?

*How do people manage keys at scale - I'm following a principal of a set per access point so that that access can be managed without impacting other access points. My ~/.ssh/config is getting big and feels like I should be generating it from an access source of truth especially as access will be different for different people. What are others doing in this scenario?

A: Take a look at Hashicorp Vault. Your dilemma is one of the reasons Hashicorp Vault was created.

Boyd initially declined to make a final statement. But, as the drugs began flowing into his arms, he said, "I want you all to know I did not do this crime. I asked for a 30-day stay for a DNA test so you know who did the crime." Then he gasped and slipped into unconsciousness.
Second, the folks at Northwestern had listed him a someone possibly innocent but certainly executed. I trust the folks at Northwestern so I allowed Boyd through my coarse filter. I include the Northwestern list below, limiting it only to those people executed by Texas, adding my Actual Innocence Score for those cases I have already reviewed.
Charles Anthony Boyd was executed on August 5, 1999 for one of the so called North Dallas "bathroom slayings." Again from the Laredo Morning Times story.
Boyd was condemned for strangling and drowning 21-year-old Mary Milligan at her apartment [on] April 13, 1987. A recent Texas Tech University graduate, she had moved to Dallas to take a job as a bank management trainee. Boyd was arrested the day after Ms. Milligan's murder when jewelry and other items taken from her apartment were pawned. The former bank janitor lived across the hall from her.
After his arrest, Boyd confessed and was charged with all three slayings but tried only for Ms. Milligan's killing. Besides tying him to items taken from the apartment and his confession, prosecutors also had forensic evidence from Ms. Milligan's apartment to link him to her death.
Defendant Charles Anthony Boyd was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. He requests a Certificate of Probable Cause ("CPC") to appeal the district court's denial of his petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He contends that the district court erred because (1) counsel was ineffective for failing to present mitigating evidence of his retardation to the jury at sentencing; (2) the jury was prevented impermissibly from giving mitigating effect to evidence of his retardation and his positive character traits; (3) the failure to instruct the jury on the parole implications of a life sentence in a capital case rendered the Texas sentencing scheme unconstitutional; and (4) the admission of extraneous offenses at the sentencing phase violated due process and the Eighth Amendment. We deny Boyd's request for a CPC.
I found no other appeals in Google Scholar, nothing indicating that Boyd didn't actually kill Milligan. I did find a plea from Amnesty International to not execute Boyd, because he was mentally retarded.
Charles Boyd, black, is scheduled for execution in Texas on 5 August 1999 despite evidence that he is mentally retarded. He was sentenced to death in November 1987 for the capital murder of Mary Milligan, white.
At Boyd's trial his defence lawyers failed to investigate and present evidence of his mental retardation because they did not recognize that he might have such a problem. Although a prison report was available which stated that in 1983 Boyd's IQ had been measured at 67 (an IQ under 70 is considered to signify retardation), both lawyers have since stated that they do not remember seeing this or other evidence that Boyd was suffering from retardation. As a result, they did not have Charles Boyd examined by any mental health professional. The appeal courts have ruled that this did not amount to ineffective defence representation.
Without a claim of actual innocence, Charles "Head" Boyd didn't stand a chance. In 1989, the US Supreme Court ruled that it was not unconstitutional to execute a mentally retarded person. Though 12 states had by then forbidden the execution of a mentally retarded person, Texas was not one of them. Indeed, Texas had rejected a law banning such executions just three months prior to Boyd's execution.
Without a claim of actual innocence, I won't even prepare an Actual Innocence scorecard for "Head." Instead, I will arbitrarily score him at 0.01. I refuse to give him a zero given that he spent his last gasp claiming he was innocent. It seems to me as if there is more to this story, and I simply can't find it from an easy chair in my living room. It disappoints me in several regards.

Q: Dynamically hooking up a class having different possible constructors Let's say I have two classes that look like this:
public class ByteFilter
{
    private Func <int, byte[]> readBytes;
    private Action<byte[]> writeBytes;

    public ByteFilter(Func <int, byte[]> readBytes, Action<byte[]> writeBytes)
    {
        this.readBytes = readBytes;
        this.writeBytes = writeBytes;
    }
}

public class PacketFilter
{
    private Func<Packet> readPacket;
    private Action<Packet> writePacket;

    Public PacketFilter(Func<Packet> readPacket, Action<Packet> writePacket)
    {
        this.readBytes = readPacket;
        this.writeBytes = writePacket;
    }
}

Either class may be instantiated at runtime (via Activator.CreateInstance) to perform a filtering function.  The read and write methods will be hooked up at runtime to methods from other classes that will provide and accept byte arrays or packets.
Within each filter is additional code that performs the filtering function:
public void Process()
{
    while (!done)
    {
        byte[] data = ReadBytes();      // or ReadPacket()
        // perform filtering on data
        WriteBytes(data);               // or WritePacket()
    }
}

If only one of the above constructor signatures will be present in each filter, how do I determine (using Reflection) which constructor signature is present, so that I can hook up the appropriate methods at runtime?
Note: If I'm daffy and doing this the wrong way, I'd like to know that too.

A: Can't you do something like?
bool packetConstructor =
            typeof(PacketFilter).GetConstructors()
                                .Any(c => c.GetParameters()
                                           .Any(p => p.ParameterType
                                                    == typeof(Func<Packet>)));

replacing typeof(PacketFilter) with appropriate instance.

A: An option that has not been mentioned is to use Fasterflect, a library created to make reflection easier and faster where possible.
It also has a couple of features built on top of the core reflection capabilities, one of which is the ability to construct objects when you don't know what constructors are available.
var instance = typeof(PacketFilter).TryCreateInstance( new { Foo = "Bar" } );

There are also overloads for passing in a dictionary of named values or discrete name and value arrays. The latest code also provides extensions for constructing objects just from an ordered list of values, matching them in order to parameters by their type.
Fasterflect will automatically pick the constructor with the most matching arguments. If it's unable to use a value it'll try to set a matching property after construction. And you have the option of requiring all values to be used.
Disclaimer: I'm a contributor to the project.

A: You can enumerate the constructors (to get the one constructor) and then enumerate the parameters of the constructor.  Since the parameters are expected to be generic types, you then need to enumerate the generic type parameters for each generic constructor parameter.  Note that all of this is very hacky and I would recommend finding a better solution.  Reflection is a powerful tool and using it introduces complexity; if there is a less complex solution (such as a factory pattern, perhaps), that would be preferable.  It's also possible that your need to solve this particular problem reflects excessive complication in your existing design.  If you simplify the original design, you may find that the technical problem goes away.

The State of the Union?
What has happened to this country at the national level? The eunuch acting Republican Party and the (National Socialist) Democrat Party seem to have forgotten, or maybe are flat out ignoring, that the primary mission of the federal government is to ensure the safety and security of the United States of America, not to jockey against one another in their quest for power.
We are seeing hacking of major systems, BS amendments that have no connection or bearing to enhancing or maintaining defense being written into defense appropriations bills, ignoring foreign spies that all but openly operate at the highest levels of our government and in one case allowing an individual to sit on one of the most sensitive committees in our government and who maintained contact with the spy right up until the day their association became public knowledge even though they were notified about the spy long before. You have the top law enforcement agency of the nation blatantly involved in an attempt to participate in what can only be called a coup against the President of the United States.
In all these cases both parties have either directly or indirectly participated or they sat on their hands and were either silent, paid lip service or worked against their own party all because they were afraid of losing power.
On a more local level, state and city officials have sat back and allowed their citizens to be subjected to looting, burning, domestic terrorism, and extortion for days and weeks on end by hamstringing, and in some cases vilifying, law enforcement when they tried to do their job. Why? Because they are afraid of being called racists and making a handful of people mad.
Major businesses and governments have allowed themselves to be extorted by vocal minority radicals, aka BLM, while ignoring the average citizens in the silent majority. Speaking of which, you, that silent majority, aka sheeple, are the ones responsible for that to not only occur but to continue.
Add to this witches brew is the destruction of the very basis for our form of government, that being a free and fair election process.

According to a recent report from market research firm TrendForce, 2015 will mark a slight drop in Samsung's smartphone shipments compared to the previous year.
After continuous - even monstrous at some point - growth, it now looks like Samsung's smartphone business is about to shrink for the very first time, although only by a very small margin.
TrendForce estimates that Samsung will ship about 323.5 million smartphones in 2015, one percentage point down compared to the year before. Naturally, a single-percentage decline would be far from a disastrous performance from the company, but it is a sign that Samsung is struggling to maintain its grip over the global smartphone market.
In their recent report, the market watchers from TrendForce reiterate a notion that has been often been proposed by various researchers: faced with ever increasing competition from China-based phone makers, Samsung is hurting in the low-end and mid-range segments of the market. However, if Samsung can limit its losses to a one-percent YoY decline, then the company's stockholders probably have nothing to worry about.
Apple, on the other hand, has continued to enjoy shipment growth thanks to the great commercial performance of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s series. According to TrendForce, Apple will ship about 223.7 iPhones in 2015, a 16 percent growth compared to 2014.
The recent report also notes that Xiaomi will probably fall short of its goal of shipping 100 million units this year after failing to draw interest to its high-end Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro models. Huawei, Xiaomi's main rival in China, is expected to pass this threshold and is estimated to ship about 110 million smartphones in 2015, a 40 percent year-over-year increase. If these estimates turn out to be accurate, Huawei will become the first Chinese smartphone maker to ship more than 100 million units in a single year.
Overall, the smartphone market expanded 9 percent in the second quarter. Trendforce says that this growth was mainly driven by early smartphone launches as smartphone makers raced to put as much time as possible between the launch of new handsets and Apple's release of the iPhone 6s series.
What do you guys make of these numbers? Impressed by Huawei's booming smartphone business?
Not surprising. Took away micro SD and removable batteries with the emergence of Chinese manufacturers. Also, touchwiz is still lagging (literally) Still rooting for you though Samsung.
Yeah because Samsung did really well with the S5 even though it had everything people wanted including waterproof? It all comes down to Chinese manufacturers going stronger and stronger every year in my opinion.
it's ugly. that took all of its selling points off.
and apparently the S3 was ugly to?
The problem is that they kept following Apple steps and went to entice Apple's fans instead of caring and listening to its fanbase.
But this is the best part, they learned this lesson the hard way and people are now experiencing better/different devices. This will kill make them fix their mistakes rather than shaft the customer harder like Apple does when they don't have to face the music.
GOOD !!! I hope Samsung learns from their stupid mistakes of removing micro SD and removable batteries and going to a fragile glass construction and gives us all aluminum/steel S7 with both a micro SD and a removable battery.
So "fragile" it outlasts the iPhone 6 and other phones without glass backs in drop tests, I'm fed up of these ignorant comments about "fragile glass". It's NOT fragile, yes it will break with enough force, but with the same or less force so will everything else on the market. There is no excuse to still be peddling this BS.
My aluminum back doesn't shatter broseph. Dual sided glass is a big no no.
Lol no that one bends.
No, but the front glass will and it will shatter with less force on other devices. With the force required to shatter the glass on the Galaxy S6 the Phone 6 was a complete mess and wouldn't power on in some tests. There are loads of drop tests and actual information via a simple Google search, are you purposely ignoring them or are you an idiot?
Bro...other companies already learned their lesson from dual sided glass devices. Glass shatters...get it through your thick head. Stop talking about the front glass.
Just because devices from others shatter or crack easily doesn't mean anything, just means Samsung did a much better job than they did. Not all glass is the same, surely you know that? but of course you don't, because you're an idiot.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-first-Galaxy-Note5-drop-test-tells-the-tale-of-broken-glass-video_id72789 Not all glass is the same. Hilarious.
iPhone did worse vs the S6 Edge. Glass breaks fool. Stop trying to make it seem the all glass design hurt sales. If Samsung has released the phone in Europe, that would have been 20-30M sales alone.
As the article states, their 1% drop has more to do with the rising popularity of Chinese phones not removable of SD card and removable battery. The company sells more in the low end and mid range, phones that do have those options and yet the Chinese vendors are putting a dent to their sales.
The Chinese OEM's have basically watered down Android with cheap devices. It wouldn't had mattered if Samsung still had removable batteries and SD cards. Even the Nexus 6P looks to be a better value if you can afford the upfront cost.
Who else has ever shipped 300M phones in a year? OH...NO ONE...THAT's WHO. anyways what hurt them is not releasing the latest phone sin Europe. That would have easily been 20M or 30M sales. Which is a provable reason where you reason isnt only speculation.
If They Just Drop Their Staring Prices By $50 They Would Sell More And Still Make A Killing. Also Touch Up TW A Little More And Bring Back Sd Card. Or They Could Start Using 64gb As Their Base Model While Keeping The 32gb Starting Price.
China likes Chinese phones and Apple handsets. I've got to imagine that's a big part of this.
Nothing to do with patriotism if thats what you mean. If not then still read it. People are not stupid. Want top of the line phone with great price? Chinese OEM's got you covered. Want top of the line phone while being rich thats cool and show off? Apple got you covered. Samsung isnt the best OEM for mid range to low end. And people never have and never will consider a samsung phone as being cool for the rich people. Its like lexus trying to overtake BMW or Mercedes. Ye its a great car and sells but its just a glorified toyota and will always have that brand connection issue unlike the Germans.
All of that is BS especially the car analogy. Samsung lost ground in almost every territory and that's largely because they screwed their fans in the high end. Their mid range is also crap because it's half the specs and double the price of all competitors. They also look like s**t compared to the competition. Finally, no actual rich person buys an iPhone to show off. Poor people like iTrolls here do to feel rich while being poor.
Cheap Korean tech never makes money. Cheap Chinese one as well.

Do Masks with Antiviral Coating Offer More Protection?
(Source:AP Illustration/Peter Hamlin)
It's an intriguing idea, but there haven't been enough rigorous independent studies to establish whether antiviral masks are better at protecting wearers or preventing the spread of the virus.
Their specifics vary, but many antiviral masks are supposed to be made or coated with materials that have extra virus-fighting properties, such as copper.
Websites for several antiviral masks do not provide detailed information about how researchers tested their safety or effectiveness, said Hyo-Jick Choi, a materials science expert at the University of Alberta.
But it usually takes years to design and test new mask technology, said Choi, who is part of a group that has been developing a different type of antiviral mask since before the pandemic.
Masks marketed as being "antiviral" often cost more than N-95 and surgical masks. A single coated mask can cost up to $10; disposable surgical masks and N-95 masks sell at large retailers for between 35 cents and $3 per mask.
Choi said a simpler way to boost the effectiveness of the masks you're already using is to ensure you're putting them on, wearing them and taking them off correctly.
And no mask can fully protect wearers, "but almost any mask can help to protect others around the wearers," said Jiaxing Huang, a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University.

Marcus D'Amico, 'Mouse' in 'Tales of the City,' Has Died


You know that for a beginner the relation between 'houses', 'signs' and 'rulers' is an extremely difficult one to understand. For example: It appears to be that my seventh house is Aries (and Taurus as well, since it covers most of the sign of Taurus). The ruler of Aries is Mars. So the ruler of my seventh House is Mars -- not Venus! And Mars is in the first degrees of Aquarius, my third house and fourth house. Venus herself is positioned in 'exile' in Aries, technically in the sixth house. What I don't understand: What is the relation between my ruler Venus and the ruler of my seventh house Mars? And is Venus now attributed to the sixth or to the seventh house? Can you see the confusion I'm in?
This question seems more complicated than it is. While this subject may be confusing for beginners, it's also one of the more important starting places for beginners.
The modern astrological chart is made of two wheels imposed over one another. One wheel is the signs; the other is the houses. There are 12 of both. The difference is fairly simple. We all know that when it's early February, the Sun is Aquarius. The Sun takes about a month to go through a sign.
However, you can be born with an Aquarius Sun in any house. This is because the world is turning (rotating on its axis). The world rotates once per day. So each day, everything spins through the houses of the zodiac in time with the world turning. Hence, in the early morning before sunrise, the Sun is in the 1st house. Just before noon, the Sun is in the 10th house. Just before sunset, the Sun is in the 7th house.
The Sun isn't moving this fast; rather, the world is turning, and the Sun's angle changes relative to the horizon. The position of the Sun or any planet relative to the horizon is what a house is. Hopefully that was clear enough.
Now, when you look at a chart, the lines you see are the houses. For some reason, the signs don't get lines drawn. But the lines for the houses (called cusps) intersect the different signs. So when a house cusp goes through Aries, for example, Aries is said to be the 'sign on the cusp of the house' and becomes directly associated with that house in that particular chart. The sign on the cusp sets the tone of the house in that particular chart. It's as important as having a planet in a particular house.
It is true that in the case of your chart, Taurus is also partly in your 7th house, and that can be an important factor under special conditions, which we can skip for now.
Now, each sign has a planet that's associated with it (sometimes more than one). This planet is called the ruler of the sign. When the sign is on a house cusp, the planet is said to rule both the sign and the house associated with that sign.
Because you have Aries on your 7th house cusp, Mars becomes an important player in the affairs of that house. This is true no matter where Mars is in your chart. In your case, Mars appears in Aquarius in the 3rd house, far from the 7th; but it has a direct influence over the affairs of the 7th house.
1. The sign that is on the house cusp.
2. The planetary ruler of that sign, no matter where it is, and all the aspects to that planet.
3. Any planets that are in that house.
4. Not mentioned yet, but transits that are happening to that particular house, or house cusp, or to the planetary ruler of the house.
This is all part of what makes each natal chart so unique. And while it may seem complicated, if you follow the rules for a while, you will see that something 'comes to you' intuitively about what is going on. Notice that so far I've made no attempt to interpret your chart. First we need to follow along with the basic baseball, without saying specifically what something means. It's always good to get the technicalities out of the way first, and it gives you an opportunity to be objective and look at the structure of the chart in an impersonal, even scientific way. This is particularly helpful when you find yourself looking at a chart with a specific question: for example, you're working with a client who wants to know about their prospects for having a child. So you look to the 5th house (which is the first place we look for information about children, pregnancy and birth) and see the sign that's on the cusp. Then you would look at the planets in that house, if any; then you would look for the ruler of the sign on the cusp, and its aspects.
In this way, we can get information about any house, regardless of whether a planet is IN that house; and often, that information comes with exceptional detail.
Now, let's look at some of the themes in your chart as they play out following these guidelines. You have Aries on the 7th house. This means you have Libra rising, since the rising sign and the 7th house will always have opposing signs on the cusps. Libra rising tells me that you have a strong orientation on relationships, but that at the same time you strive to be an individualist within those relationships.
Because Libra is rising, Venus (the ruler of Libra) is an important planet in understanding your whole chart. I can only give a few notes here; you will need to study it more carefully.
You have Venus in Aries. Venus in Aries can make a person self-centered, which is sometimes helpful and sometimes not. In your case, this gives you the ability to think of yourself in a situation where you might ordinarily get lost thinking about someone else. The key is to be able to maintain awareness of both people in the relationship, and to be aware of the distinctions between love, selflove, romantic love and other forms of love that can show up as that Venus in Aries.
You also have Venus in the 6th house. Aries covers all of your 6th and part of your 7th house, so it's closely involved with two of the most important houses. Notice, also, that there are a lot of planets surrounding Venus -- the chart above shows four planets in Aries: Chiron, Venus, Pallas Athene and Mercury. If I had to guess, I would say that work is someplace very important to you; someplace you're something of a star; someplace you seek to find your identity; and where you seek to express your passion. This is a HOT chart and you are someone who needs your work to be hot, innovative, daring and pioneering. You need to be a leader, and the conjunction of Venus and Pallas Athene tells me you're a compelling person whose word is taken seriously.
If not, then please get with your chart!
Last, let's consider the ruler of the 6th and 7th house, Mars. Mars is the representative of these two houses, since both have Aries on the cusp and Mars rules Aries.
The ruler of the 7th house (including its house and sign placement, aspects, etc.) describes something of our ideal relationship partner. The ruler of the 6th describes our working conditions and also our working partners. There may be a strong overlap here, as your 6th and 7th are ruled by the same sign and planet.
We find Mars in Aquarius, and also in your 3rd house. Both Aquarius and the 3rd house address mental aspects of the personality. So this placement of Mars tells me you have a knack for attracting extremely intelligent men. Because Aries is so strong in your chart (and thus, you're able to maintain your individuality), you're actually able to relate to these men as peers and equals, no matter how intelligent they are. As a result, you can learn a great deal from them -- a true gift in this life.
But here's something interesting about Mars in Aquarius, which is clarified further by Mars conjunct Vesta, one of the major asteroids. This tells me that the men around you are deeply dedicated to you, but that they may have a kind of sexual detachment from you. This 'detached' quality is the result of both Aquarius and the Vesta conjunction.
However -- if we look closely -- we can see that Venus and Mars are making an important aspect (not displayed in the chart) -- a quintile. There is, quite potentially, an excellent flow of energy between you and the men in your life. But because you are the HOT Aries type, you must be the one to make the first move; you must be the initiator if you want your relationships to go beyond the cool, reserved world of work and ideas.
Honestly, I don't think anyone will mind!

From the songs he penned in his days as one quarter of the Beatles, through his solo work and his hits with Wings, his presence on the airwaves has been continuous.
Perhaps you think of him in quick-cut aural images: "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Yesterday," "Band on the Run" and "Silly Love Songs," "My Brave Face" and "Hope of Deliverance," these intercut with visual impressions of McCartney in a collarless suit in the Sixties or giving his trademark thumbs-up at the end of a set in the early Nineties.

Clergy Honor Councilmember Lynette McElhaney
Clergy at the Inaugural Prayer Service honoring District 3 Councilmember Lynette McElhaney included from left to right: back row-Pastor Ken Chambers, Sr., Pastor Lawrence VanHook, Rev. Brian Woodson, Sr., Pastor Zachary Carey, Pastor Mike Johnson, Pastor David Kiteley, and Rev. Robert Wilkins; middle row-Pastor Gerald Agee, Pastor Curtis Flemming, Councilmember Lynette McElhaney, Pastor Donald Scurry, Rev. K. David Johnson, and Pastor Russell Duley; front row-Bishop Frank Pinkard; Bishop Ernestine Reems, and Dr. J. Alfred Smith, Sr. Photo by Adam Turner.
By Ashley Chambers District 3 Councilmember Lynette McElhaney kicked off her four-year term on the Oakland City Council at Evergreen Baptist Church surrounded in prayer by the clergy of Oakland at her Inaugural Prayer Service Saturday, Jan. 5. The United Clergy of Oakland, Pastors of Oakland, Baptist Ministers Union, Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance and Bay Cities Baptist Ministers Union came together to support McElhaney as their District 3 candidate this past election and are standing with her as advocates for the communities of Oakland. Dale Anthony and True Vine Ministries sang and played at the event. Bishop Frank Pinkard, Dr. J Alfred Smith, Sr., Bishop Ernestine Reems, and Pastor Zachary Carey were among the clergy speaking blessings over McElhaney. "We feel that she will be a strong voice for some of the issues that we are facing in Oakland: one-violence, two-jobs, and three-something needs to be done with our schools," said Dr. Gerald Agee, Pastor of Friendship Christian Center. "We are letting her know that the community and the clergy are behind her," he said. A member of True Vine Ministries and Black church traditions, the councilmember said she will provide a voice for the concerns of the church community. "In Oakland, it's been too long where the church has not been respected and has not really exercised an organized voice," McElhaney said. "I'm really excited about being able to create a platform for the concerns of this community to be heard, and it does align on those issues of jobs, of justice, of youth, both protection and development," she said. "That's when you start getting into the areas of homicides, what's going on in education, economic development, job creation, the fairness to African American businesses and entrepreneurs, and what's going on in the foreclosure crisis. "Those are things that really touch our congregations, and they are matters of incredible importance to this city. I'm excited about being able to be the nexus on both the issues and the communities that matter," McElhaney said. Dr. Gregory Payton of St. John Baptist Church delivered the Prayer of Consecration as clergy and the community embraced McElhaney with support and their vision of a better future for Oakland.

If you ever wanted to thicken an oil blend, or suspend something in an oil blend,or reduce synerisis, then you might consider working with TKB's Thickening Clay (Quaternium-90 Sepiolite (and) Quaternium-90 Montmorillonite).
This vegan clay is added to your oil phase or oil-based products. Its primary use is as a "Rheological Additive", which means that it makes things thicker. It is also a "Thixotropic" thickener. This means that while a finished product is thick "in the bottle" if you give it a few good shakes then the product becomes more flowy.
An example of this in action is TKB's Unicorn Highlighters. The highlighting mica powder is kept in suspension by the Thickening Clay. While it sits on the shelf, the mica powder stays suspended in the thick liquid. But when the user gives the product a few good shakes of the bottle before application, they end up with a lightweight highligher that is easily applied. That is what a "thixotropic" thickener does.
Once you mix this together, blend about 2 parts liquid base with 1 part mica powder. Be sure to mix everything a moderate shear for about 10 minutes before bottling.
Another use for TKB Thickening Clay is that it is to help stop syneresis. Syneresis is what happens when the ingredients of a lipstick don't combine well (usually the waxes and oils) and you get something that looks like sweating or beads of oil on your lipsticks. If you have this problem in your formula, consider adding the Thickening Clay at about 1% of the formula.
Let's talk about why TKB Thickening Clay is uniquely suited to your projects in a way that regular clay is not.
As you can imagine, your run-of-the-mill facial clay mixes readily and easily with water (think: Clay Mask). Have you ever tried adding it to an oil? Most clays won't blend with an oil easily. In fact, the only way to get them mixed in is to use heat, high shear mixing and a polar activator such as propylene carbonate.
TKB's Thickening Clay is different. It LOVES low and medium polar oils such as dimethicone, mineral oil, and isododecane. It also loves natural oils such as castor oil. No heat, high shear mixing or polar activator required. Just add about 1 - 3% by weight of Thickening Clay to the formula and give it some moderate stirring/shaking for 10 minutes and . . . Thixotropic Rheology: Activated!
In this photo, you can see the Clay in Isodedecane after it has been shaken for 10 minutes on the far left. In the middle is the Clay in Isododecane with no shaking (just a quick stir). This shows how the shaking really does make a difference. On the right is regular normal clay, with shaking, still blends poorly and settles out.
One reason for its special ability to blend into oil is its physical structure. Under a microscope, TKB's Thickening Clay looks like little pretzel shapes. It combines flat forms with upright rod forms, leaving lots of free space in between. All that extra airspace just invites and embraces the oils in one giant rheological hug.
Now, having said that, the product will still separate if it is in a very thin viscosity liquid (even with that good 10 minute shake) and as well it will perform better in some oils than others.
Here is a photo of the clay in three liquids, after settling for 2 weeks. From Left to right: 1) Dimethicone 1.5 (viscosity of 1.5 cst), 2) Isododecane (viscosity of 1.65 cst), 3) Castor Oil (super thick).
If you are making an aerosol spray, this might help keep things flowing.

Q: how to disable auto-create exe file when compile c / c++ in VS Code? I have used VS Code
But VS Code create .exe file when compile c or c++ file.
I never have seen such like this when I used Atom.
What I want is VS Code does't create .exe file.
what should I do?
++attach pic
Before
enter image description here
After
enter image description here
I just compile simple ccc.cpp file which print "eee".
After compile, there is a executable.

A: You can't get output from a program that doesn't exist.
Modern compilers don't compile a program and run it directly from memory.  You need to write it to disk first, then you can run it.
The last compiler I'm aware of that did that was Turbo Pascal.

A: so my guess is you don't want the .exe file to show ... you either want vscode to create the .exe file in some other dump folder or you want it to delete after running the program

Praveen Thakur - Vice President
Teradata expands in Asia with Vice President appointment
By Mitchell Hageman, Managing Editor
Fri, 18th Nov 2022
Praveen Thakur has been announced as the company's new Vice President for South Asia and Korea. Thakur brings with him over three decades of experience in the IT industry with roles spanning sales, pre-sales and business development, including senior leadership positions at Oracle and IBM.
In his current capacity, he will lead Teradata's offices across Southeast Asia, India, Pakistan, and Korea in accelerating the company's cloud-first offerings in the region, such as Teradata VantageCloud – the complete cloud analytics and data platform, now with next-generation, cloud-native deployment and expanded analytics capabilities.
Thakur will helm Teradata's regional sales, channel, marketing, and operations with his extensive industry expertise and platform technology sales acumen.
With his strong background in technology sales, extensive management experience and a penchant for data & analytics, Thakur will play a key role in supporting Teradata's partners across a number of industry sectors, which include finance, retail, telecommunications, and manufacturing, helping them extract the best benefits and value from Teradata's offerings.
Prior to joining Teradata, Thakur was Chief Executive Officer at Unscrambl Inc, where he led the company to be included within Gartner's list of Cool Vendors in Analytics and Data Science. He also led several successful customer acquisitions across Asia and North America. His earlier endeavours include the leading of Oracle's Technology Business in Southeast Asia and management roles in IBM's Software Group and Communications Sector.
"Praveen's appointment as Vice President for South Asia and Korea could not have come at a more opportune time for us, given the launch of our all-new, cloud-native product: VantageCloud Lake," says Keith Budge, Executive Vice President, Asia Pacific, and Japan at Teradata.
"His expertise and staunch passion for data and technology will be a huge asset to our team, as we further expand our regional footprint in the cloud business.
"I am truly honoured to step into this role to support Teradata and our clients, as we further our mission to transform how businesses work and how people live, through the power of data," says Thakur.
"Teradata's goal has always been to help companies fully realise and leverage their data-driven insights for business growth. It is an exciting time to be a part of the Teradata team, as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation for our cloud-first offerings, translating this vision into reality."


Weary now the footsteps of the aged Sun and weary his way in the wintry sky. Gone now the glowing cheer he bore on high when, golden-haired, he strode the blue roads of his youth and trod the storm gods underfoot, his right hand high and holding spears of flashing flame and Summer blazing on his brow. Old he is now and his aged head he barely bore above the naked larch that starkly stands and dismal droops his branches to the alders and the hazel and the willows where the winding stream southernward carries her cold winter waters round the far fence of Rhaeadr's grass and rush. And often now at the end of a day he held his red cloak round about him as he strode in the foothills of the western sky.
People had been arriving during the day. There were Elen and Huw, Gwen and Owen from the next valley, Idris and Merian from the north; there were Joe and Kathy from farther away, and Coll came from farther yet with Liz and Judy. And Rhona had been busy from the morning with her gathering of things, and a wistful light there shone in her eyes and her hands were busy with a work of love. It was long ago in the May that Joe, bearing then as now the kachina of the Sun, had wrought his image in a waxen form, a small pale yellow candle, and gave it then to Rhona to cherish in the passing of the moons. No work of art it was if art were fine lines and tracery for of these there were none, as in an embryo there are none; but of love there was no lack and Rhona bore a full heart. And her breast flowed with love, even as the breast of Mabh, our beloved Earth and fount of all our gladness.
The big stone-walled room had been made ready and a bright fire burned in the great hearth and there was ivy in twining, trailing strands and streamers and the hardy holly with his round red berries and his sharp shining leaves that caught the fire glow and flickered in the yellow flames. And here, in this room, we would keep watch through the longest night, our beds to be lain on the floor round about. But one bed there was in special that waited not upon the fading light; for the westering star had come to his rest.
Rhona with her hands and the Earth's deep love had made a cradle; brown earth lay on the bottom and of wild apple was the wood; of moss she had made it, green-gathered from the glade and glistening damp and dark. And lichen too and liverwort she laid as a garland on the green. And there was holly at the head for an emblem of his brightness, and steams of ivy to bear it up at the foot of her bed where an arch she made of the willow wood to bend with a wandering wind.
Dark thy day. Yield! Thou art spent and old.
Drained away. Yield thee thy crown of gold!
The child that I brought who stirs in the womb.
And as he laid his crown before the Night of the empty hand, the One of the pregnant womb did on her crown of darkness; black it was with gems of jet all gleaming of the night, and a Queen she stood in awe and magnificence, a Queen of the boundless dark. But the Sun turned not his gaze and looked ever to the fading west. So we joined our hands and we danced once round, and she stood now before him in all her dark splendour, and the wraith stood behind him. Dark were her eyes wherein was all softness and shadow, and she went down on her knee and her slender fingers bore up those ancient hands that had forged the days, and she kissed his aged lips. She took off an inner garment that was but loosely held and she bent again to her knee and wrapped his spear and his golden crown in her black drapery and bore them up in her arms. And away then, and he beside her, and we in their train, and the wraith in the footfalls that were not her own.
We came indoors hungry, and put the hunger to flight, and Liz now in her festive clothes again, and we talked, and some made cakes and other things for the morrow and some made music, and all made room for another meal at nine. But now the hour was drawing near and the dark Queen would have her rest, and we would keep watch during the long night. Our beds were laid about, and the fire burning brightly, and two seats by the fireside for the watchers. And we would watch in shifts of an hour and a half, a man and a woman together, except Idris who would grow to wield the golden spear, and his would be a half shift at the start, and a half again in the last watch, and this so that both watchers would not be together in the ebb tide of sleep.
The dark Queen looked ever more wistful and she put off her black crown and her royal robes and did on her nightgown, soft and warm, and brown as her own wild bosom. And she laid her to bed. Brown were the clothes that gave warmth to her body; brown was the pillow that gave rest to her head: brown as the Earth who bore our love this night. And over all was a cover of green. Sweet she lay and our love lay with her sweetness.
All of her heart she has giv'n to his birth.
Quiet she lay in the deep of her bed, and two tear drops stood on her eyelashes like dewdrops in the grass.
Idris took first watch with Merian and when half of Merian's watch was done I took the seat if Idris, and at middle watch for me Judy sat in the seat whereon Merian had kept watch, and at half again I roused Huw and took my rest, and so through the night. When I woke in the morning, no flames danced from the hearth, and only the great red candle burned, but low now at the head of the bed. Liz had kept last watch with Idris, and the Night of the empty hand had snuffed the fire and scattered the ash to the morning breeze and the cold damp Earth; and the sticks that Idris had laid to the days to come bore as yet no living flame. And a sparkle lay over the green of the bed, a loose woven drapery whose threads were few and picked out in sequins like a glistening frost. And outside too a frost lay sparkling on the grass.
She woke at half past seven; her eyes opened for an instant and she smiled, and her eyelids closed again for her time was not yet upon her. And we set no words to stand in her thoughts as she gathered the shadows of the night in the sweetness of her heart and gave love to the child in her womb.
She took the Little One up in her hands and the light of the risen Sun was sparkling in her eyes. Tenderly as she stood, she clasped her treasure to her breast and with a Queen's bearing and all the care of a mother's heart she was moving over the frosted field and into the house. As a jewel in her eyes was the tiny light as she held her precious handful over the flame of the old red candle, and as a jewel agleam in her heart as she set it now as a tiny glow amid the green in the cradle she had made. Tiny yet the little light amid the lichens and the liverwort: tiny yet among the mosses and the damp brown earth.
He bore the flame to the hearth and set it to stand amid the sticks he had set and soon the flames went leaping and his fire was burning bright.

Q: Why doesn't daemon thread which is joined to the main() thread die when main() thread execution ends? In the below code:
class Worker extends Thread {
    Thread t;

    public Worker(Thread thread) {
        t=thread;
    }

    public void run() {
        try {
            t.join();
        } catch(InterruptedException e) {
            System.out.println("Exception is thrown and caught");
        }
        System.out.println(Thread.activeCount());
        System.out.print("|work|");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread t=Thread.currentThread();
        Worker worker = new Worker(t);
        worker.setDaemon(true);
        worker.start();
        System.out.println("Exit from main method");
    }
}

Since worker is a daemon thread joined on main() thread, |work| should never be printed since the user thread main() completes first, and since worker is a daemon thread it too is stopped when the main() thread dies.
But, the output I get is as follows :
 Exit from main method
1
|work|
Please clarify this query for me.
After many many executions of the program, I have observed the following different outputs:
without Thread.sleep(1000) :
Exit from main method
2
Exit from main method
1
|work|
Exit from main method
2
|work|
with Thread.sleep(1000) :
Exit from main method
2
|work|
Exit from main method
Notice the first output without sleep() method. |work| is not printed but the thread count is shown to be 2. Does this mean main() thread execution ended after Thread.activeCount() but before |work| is printed? In third output seems like main() ended after execution of both these statements.
Now, I was never expecting Thread.activeCount() to be 2, since the daemon thread worker is joined on user thread main(), which means when Thread.activeCount() is executed, there will only be worker thread and no main() thread.

A: I don't know the exact details on how the VM knows when the last non-daemon thread stops running, but I can imagine 2 solutions:

*

*a background regularly polls to see if all non-daemon threads have exited (and I doubt that's the actual solution)

*a background thread joins on all the non-deamon threads, and exits the VM once all the join return

In those two situations, a race condition is possible, and the daemon thread sometimes has time to execute a few more operations after the main thread has died, and sometimes not.
I executed your code a few times, and sometimes something is printed after the main thread has exited, and sometimes not, which corroborates my theory.
When I add a Thread.sleep(100L) call after t.join(), nothing is printed except "Exit from main method".
Also note that if you look at the list of threads running in the VM (using the debugger for example), one of them is named "DestroyJavaVM". Given the name, I'd guess this is the thread which exits the JVM, concurrently to the remaining daemon threads, once the last non-daemon thread stops running.

A: How do you run your code?
When I run your example from command line I am getting:
    Exit from main method
    1
    |work|
I guess you might not get activeCount and |work| printed out as JVM can just stop daemon-threads when all non-daemon threads terminated (the only one here is main thread). When that condition is met, JVM terminates remaining daemon threads and exits.
Thread javadoc says:

The Java Virtual Machine continues to execute threads until either of the following occurs:

*

*The exit method of class Runtime has been called and the security manager has permitted the exit operation to take place.

*All threads that are not daemon threads have died, either by returning from the call to the run method or by throwing an exception that propagates beyond the run method.

Terminating those threads might take some time though, so your daemon thread might have a chance to execute some more instructions. When I add Thread.sleep(1000) after printing activeCount, the activeCount is still printed, but |work| is not.

A: Let me first attempt to answer the outputs for
without Thread.sleep(1000)
Exit from main method 2 -  You have to remember your Worker thread is a daemon so the JVM is not going to wait for it to complete its execution. It is only bothered about completing the main thread execution which is a non daemon.
Now you are getting this output because "Exit from Main Method" was shown by the main thread and in the meantime worker thread ran and displayed 2 but alas unfortunately the main thread completed and the JVM did not wait for the worker thread ( being a daemon) hence 'work' was not displayed.
Exit from main method 1 |work| - Here go with the same explanation as above
B U T    the worker thread was lucky ..it got enough time to display '|work|'
before the JVM completed the main thread and hurried to its exit.
Exit from main method 2 |work| - Same as previous explanation...not sure
about why active count returns 2 sometimes and 1 sometimes.
You could use similar logic for coming to conclusions for the
With Thread.sleep(1000) logic.
Tip: Also you can check the status of thread t with statement
        System.out.println("status of t : " + t.getState()); just before
t.join()....you will get TERMINATED  a lot..which proves that the main thread
which is the NON DAEMON has already terminated so no question of join working...
too late...

Abu-Abd-Al·lah Muhàmmad ibn Ismaïl fou rei musulmà de la dinastia nassarita de Granada amb el nom de Muhàmmad IV. Era el fill gran dels quatre fills d'Ismaïl I al que va succeir quan aquest fou assassinat en una baralla el 6 de juliol de 1235. Tot i ser el gran era encara menor d'edat i el poder el va exercir el visir del seu pare, conegut com a Ibn al-Mahruk.

El 13 d'agost de 1325 Alfons XI de Castella havia arribat a la majoria d'edat (14 anys) i la primavera del 1327 va iniciar una ofensiva contra els nassarites derrotant-los (infante Don Juan Manuel) a la riba del Guadalhorce prop d'Antequera, conquerint Olvera, Pruna, Alhaquin i Ayamonte. Muhàmmad IV va haver de cridar els marínides. El visir no trigà a entrar en conflicte amb el cap de les forces marínides a l'emirat, Uthman ibn Abi-l-Ulà. Finalment la rivalitat es va acabar quan el visir fou executat per orde reial el juny de 1329. Mentre els castellans, per temor a un augment de les forces marínides a la península van formar una croada (1328) amb Navarra, Bohèmia, Anglaterra i França, però aquestes forces no van aconseguir coordinar-se i la primavera del 1329 va voler a actuar pel seu compte i van sortir del territori de Castella i de la corona catalana. Els castellans tot i perdre aquest suport, encara van aconseguir ocupar algunes fortaleses menors (Hardales, Cañete, Cuevas, Priego i Ortedexicar) i Teba, a l'oest d'Antequera (agost de 1330); un atac del governador marínida de Ronda i Algesires, Abd-al-Màlik, contra Xerès, fou rebutjat; també fou atacada sense èxit Elx, a la part oriental. Els marínides altre cop van ajudar, i els musulmans van reconquerir Gibraltar i Alfons XI va acceptar immediatament una treva (agost del 1333), just un mes després que Catalunya-Aragó, que va participar poc als combats, havia fet el mateix.

A la tornada de Gibraltar, Muhàmmad fou assassinat (25 d'agost de 1333) per Abu-Thàbit i Ibrahim ibn Uthman ibn Abi-l-Ulà per causes no del tot aclarides. El més jove dels seus dos germans vius, Yússuf I, el va succeir.

Another 'Ace Ventura' Movie Might Happen, If Jim Carrey Is Interested
Josh Kurp
Senior Pop Culture Editor
Morgan Creek Productions, the film studio behind Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Last of the Mohicans, and Major League, is now Morgan Creek Entertainment Group. Unless you're Princess Carolyn and/or can tell the difference between an agent and a manager, this is probably not very exciting information. But what if I told you the news while talking out of my butt.
Deadline reports that Morgan Creek is "making a big push across television, features, and digital" by dipping into the archive and polishing off old titles. The process began last year with Fox's small-screen adaptation of The Exorcist (the company has released every Exorcist film since 1990's The Exorcist III), and may continue with Major League, Young Guns, and Ace Ventura.
With the Ace Ventura franchise, "we wanted to do a mainstream theatrical production relaunch," [MCEG President David] Robinson said, stressing that the idea is not to do a straight remake but a new movie in the spirit of the original, part of Morgan Creek's strategy to honor its library properties with the new takes without undercutting them. "Because it's episodic in nature, about a pet detective, it also lends itself to a traditional single-camera series franchise." (Via)
The goal is for Jim Carrey, who played the titular Slinky-wielding pet detective, to pass the family legacy to a "long-lost son or daughter," because that worked so well in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Also on the docket: younger Young Guns, a Nightbreed TV series (director Clive Barker is involved), a David Cronenberg-supported "Dead Ringers reimagining," and finding another mechanical rhino for Jim Carrey to crawl out of.

Home News Bunting v Zurich Insurance PLC, High Court, 13th May 2020
Bunting v Zurich Insurance PLC, High Court, 13th May 2020
High Court appellate decision: Pepperall J, 13th May 2020
Defendant's counsel - Steven Turner (Parklane Plowden Chambers) instructed by Jade Batstone of DAC Beachcroft, Newport
Status: As a High Court appellate decision, this decision will be binding upon County Courts.
Summary: On 13th May 2020 Pepperall J dismissed an appeal against a County Court Judge's decision to award a low (Thrifty) BHR rate instead of the claimed Helphire (now Auxillis) credit hire rate. The Claimant argued that the trial Judge should have disregarded the Defendant's BHR evidence because the Thrifty rate was subject to a 30 day maximum hire limit, there was no evidence as to deposits payable, no specific evidence of availability, no evidence as to how the Defendant's rates data had been harvested from the internet and because it had a limit of 500 miles per week.
Pepperall J dismissed the appeal in scathing terms, calling it a 'nit-picking challenge'. He said the Claimant came nowhere near demonstrating that the trial Judge had acted perversely. Pepperall J endorsed the trial Judge's 'sanguine' approach to the BHR rates issue and found that the Judge had been 'absolutely entitled' to rely upon the Defendant's BHR evidence. He specifically found that deposits were not relevant in the case of a pecunious Claimant and that there was no requirement for a Defendant to demonstrate availability of a particular vehicle on a particular date.
The Claimant was also ordered to pay the Defendant's costs of the appeal as claimed, without any deduction.

Long proponents of open source technology, MIT's AeroAstro Department sought a complete relaunch on Drupal.
I want to say how much we appreciate your rapid responses to all issues we present, big and small. It certainly doesn't go unnoticed and that's why we like having you as our developers.
Students, staff, and prospective students frequently visit the AeroAstro site on smaller devices.
Originally deployed in 2011 with separate desktop and mobile themes, AeroAstro wanted to stay current with the latest trends in responsive design. We worked with them to reconceive the site with a completely responsive, mobile-first Drupal theme. We achieved a highly consistent and usable experience across all devices without having to rework or migrate any content or take the site out of commission.

Section 144 of the Income Tax Act covers the provisions relating to the "Best Judgment Assessment". Here, an assessing officer makes an evaluation based on his best reasoning.
the assessing officer, shall, after taking into account all related material which he has gathered, after giving the taxpayer a chance of being heard, make the assessment of the total income or loss to the best of his judgment & determine the sum payable by the taxpayer on the grounds of such assessment.
Provided that the assessing officer shall give such opportunity by serving a notice calling upon the taxpayer to show cause, on a date & time to be mentioned in the notice, why the assessment should not be completed to the best of his judgment.
Provided further that the assessing officer need not give such opportunity in a case where; a notice U/S 142(1) has been issued before making of an assessment under this section.
The provisions of this section as they stood directly before their amendment by the Direct Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 1987 (4 of 1988), shall apply to & in relation to any assessment for the assessment year beginning on the 1st day of April, 1988, or any earlier AY and; references in this section to the other provisions of this Act shall be construed as references to those provisions as for the time being in force & applicable to the relevant AY.
U/S 144; though the assessing officer concludes the assessment from information and documents available with him and as per his best judgment; there are specific guidelines he needs to follow. Judicial Decisions set these guidelines from time to time.
Provided that no directions which are biased to the assessee shall be issued before an opportunity is given to the taxpayer to be heard.
For the purposes of this section; no direction as to the lines on which an investigation connected with the assessment should be made shall be deemed to be a direction prejudicial to the assessee.
