I looked up "drift" in the thesaurus and one of the meanings was to "coast and glide along without much effort".
Sometimes we need to drift along and unplug a little. We need to take care though, that we aren't disconnecting ourselves in unhealthy ways. We tend to distance ourselves from the things we need (family, face to face conversation) and tightly hold on to things that are not healthy. Hardness sets in quickly and sometimes unexpectedly through little openings we think are harmless.
I may wake up with the desire to get in the Word and spend time with Jesus, but I can promise you that thirty seven things will happen before 9am to thwart those plans. Without there being some kind of intention, it just won't happen. It's an effort, but it's driven by grace. Obedience to Jesus requires that we be proactive, but not in a "do it yourself" sense. We pursue while being pursued. We actively surrender to Jesus, always mindful that a mind not intentionally set on Him is a mind given over to the world.
It isn't that we don't genuinely desire the best God has for us, but because we haven't actively pursued it in that "grace-driven" sense, we wander from one thing to another waiting for something to happen. We do our own thing while talking about how God knows best and live in a weird mix of superstition and faith. We disobey in areas we know aren't as grey as we claim them to be because there's a whole world out there telling us it's normal and ok to do so. The purity of delighting in Jesus and His Word have been all but washed away because we have a culture of self-promoting problem solvers who want their way put above God's ways.
We can't have it our way and God's way at the same time. The spirit and the flesh will never get along (Galatians 5:17). Author Anne Lamott has a great quote that says "[Our human] will starts off easier, then gets hard. God's will starts off hard, then gets easier." When we make the hard decision to obey, there is great reward. If we take the easy way out and compromise, it may be well for awhile but it's not going to stay that way.
Obedience to scripture isn't antiquated or legalistic, it's our anchor that keeps us from getting lost at sea. Reading Gods words isn't a waste of time or something we do when we're in trouble, it's our daily bread (Matthew 6:11). Why do so many Christians not experience this truth?
"I know I should be in the Word, it just feels like another thing to check off the list, and my list is already too long." Amen to that. That's legalism. Nobody has time for another chore.
Here's the rub though: We can't live our lives anchor-lessly drifting around and expect to weather the storms when they come. We can't just take what other people say or experience and run with it. Both are crazy dangerous.
I say this in love: surrender. All of it. All of the little areas where we've convinced ourselves that it's "ok" even though we know it isn't, whatever area it may be. Gossip. Smartphones. Social media. Alcohol. Shopping. Complaining. Anger. This list could go on forever, the point is how do we stop the drifting off to unhealthy places?
This beautiful tension between grace and faith, its a deep, profound thing if you ask me. We are saved by grace through faith. Our faith is a response to Gods unmerited grace. We do play a role, but we must never forget it's a "grace-driven effort".
Lord that we would never rely on ourselves to keep from drifting, but on Your grace. May we never rest on our own abilities to pull us through life. Show us there is no freedom apart from your truth and no joy in drifting about aimlessly. Thank you for pursuing us and always responding to our feeble efforts to know You better.
Ouch. You're right, I've been trying to drift. No wonder I never get anywhere. Thanks for this reminder!
This is such powerful teaching! So important to be on the alert,and to actively seek Him. Outstanding post!

Sapphire supplier wants to keep bankruptcy details quiet
Apple's sapphire supplier wants to keep bankruptcy details under wraps

How GT Advanced Technologies could have filed for bankruptcy, despite Apple's best efforts to prop it up, is still something of a mystery — and it'll stay like that if the company gets its way.
According to a Reuters report, GT Advanced has requested that the New Hampshire bankruptcy court currently overseeing its case put the kibosh on releasing key documents related to a "third party," claiming that this would allow it avoid paying damages thanks to confidentiality agreements.
No word was given about the identity of this third party, or the possible contract violations being discussed, although Apple would make sense as the former, seeing as it invested a massive $578 million in GT Advanced.
Taking a page out of Apple's secrecy playbook, GT is also asking that today's bankruptcy hearing is not open to the public. As of yet, little to no explanation has been given for Monday's bankruptcy announcement.
Apple claims to have been "surprised" by the news, although it's not yet given up on the Mesa, Arizona plant which opened earlier this year.
GT Advanced's stock fell off a cliff once it was revealed that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sported Gorilla Glass instead of sapphire displays. The company's CEO offloaded his shares prior to the fateful iPhone 6 event.

Q: When and how CPL field changes? The processor maintains current privilege level in CPL field. I want to know about all possible scenarios when CPL field changes from 3 to 0 and vice versa. For example, CPL field might change from 3 to 0 when a system call is invoked by a user process.
Moreover, please try to elaborate what goes on inside the kernel/CPU before CPL field is changed.
Note: I have read a few posts explaining how protection is enforced by the CPU using CPL, RPL and DPL. I am unable to understand when and how does the CPL change.

A: This is a pretty in-depth question. The answer depends on which kernel you're looking at. Typically, CPL is only going to change during context switches (probably the initial switch from kernel to userspace) and during system calls.
The kernel needs to have usermode (CPL 3) segments set up in the Global Descriptor Table. Segment selectors (CS, DS, ES, FS, GS) are then set to the CPL=3 segment values.
Here is a great reference: http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/cpu-rings-privilege-and-protection/

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Leandro Paredes, according to The Daily Telegraph.
PSG are set to beat Chelsea to the signing of the Argentina international despite having agreed a deal with the Russian outfit.
The report adds that Chelsea wanted to sign Paredes to replace Cesc Fabregas after the Spaniard completed a move to AS Monaco earlier this month.
The Parisians have capitalised on Chelsea's hesitation and the Ligue 1 champions have agreed a €40million fee with Zenitchiki.
With Paredes heading to Parc des Princes, Maurizio Sarri will have to look elsewhere in order to strengthen their midfield options this month.
Chelsea are currently facing a battle with Manchester United and Arsenal to secure a top-four finish.

Black Voters More In Favor Of Northam Staying In Office Than White Voters
Alex Edelman/Getty Images
Graeme Gallagher Contributor
February 20, 2019 4:12 PM ET
Despite Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's blackface scandal, it is actually the black voters in the state that are more in favor of him staying than white voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
The poll surveyed more than 1,000 Virginians, in which black voters said 56-31 percent that Northam should not resign, whereas white voters are split 46-46. Similarly, black voters approved Northam 49-24 percent, while white voters disapproved 50-36 percent.
Overall, the poll found that 48 percent of voters said that he should not resign with 42 percent saying he should step down. (RELATED: Most Black Virginians Think Northam Should Stay Despite Yearbook Photo)

"The good news for Gov. Ralph Northam is that Virginia voters have mixed feelings about him," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "Not terrible, but hardly reassuring in the wake of the brouhaha over his alleged use of blackface when he was a medical student more than three decades ago."
What may be working in Northam's favor is the heavy negativity surrounding Lieutenant Gov. Justin Fairfax in the same poll.
Facing two accusations of sexual assault and rape, only 12 percent of Virginia voters believe Fairfax's denials of the allegation while 37 percent believe his two accusers. In terms of favorability, Fairfax is viewed negatively 11-36 percent. (RELATED: Senators Who Condemned Kavanaugh Refused To Denounce Fairfax)
"Perhaps working to Northam's benefit is that Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax is viewed much, much more negatively as he faces sexual assault and rape allegations," said Brown. "And voters say by very strong margins they don't believe his denials."

Faring the best out of all was Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. Voters found that Herring, who also admitted to once wearing blackface earlier this month, should not resign with 54 percent or be impeached with 63 percent.
"Attorney General Mark Herring scores best among the three officials in hot water," said Brown.
Additionally, the poll also touched on prejudice in Virginia, as voters said 61-35 percent that prejudice against black people was a serious problem in the state. Yet, 60 percent of say that the state has less racism against black people today than it did "a few decades ago."

Description: Scripture is clear that there is coming a day when every person will stand before God and give an account for the life they were given. On that day, there will be many things we are thankful for, at the same time, there are many things we may regret. This morning's message reminds us that we need to be mindful of how we are living each day so as to avoid having regrets when that day takes place.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Jeff Van Gundy warned the Americans that they were in for a serious challenge.
According to USA Basketball, it was just the second loss by the U.S. in 30 games against Mexico — with the other defeat coming in the 2011 Pan Am Games.
"Mexico dominated us from the start and that's on me," Van Gundy said. "We were not ready to compete at the level Mexico did. Give them all the credit, they played a great, great game."
"In the second half we competed at a high level and that high level got us back in the game, but we just couldn't get over the hump," Van Gundy said.
The Americans (4-1) — who have already ensured themselves a spot in the second round of qualifying that starts in September — end the first-round series of games Sunday when they go to Havana to face Cuba (0-5). It'll be the first time a U.S. men's national team has played in Havana since the 1991 Pan American Games. Mexico (3-2) also wraps up its first round on Sunday, when it plays at Puerto Rico (3-2).
This was the first time the U.S. played a true road game during this tournament. The Americans opened qualifying in November with an 85-78 win in what was a "home" game for Puerto Rico — but the contest was actually played in Orlando, Florida because of continued problems in San Juan following Hurricane Maria.
Only four players from the Mexican roster then were in uniform on Thursday night, with the team now able to add those who were playing in their various professional leagues and unable to take part when the qualifying rounds began. Cruz and Mendez-Valdez each had 13 points by halftime, and Gustavo Ayon was a big factor even without big numbers — four points, four rebounds and five assists by the break.


Most budget three-star hotels in Zadar are out of the historic town centre either in Borik (4km) or Diklo (5km). It's a long walk but there are buses (more frequent to Borik than Diklo). For more, see Zadar accommodation. Most of the hotels below provide free parking.
Strange name, true, but this is your best bet for staying in Zadar's historic center. As a recent arrival on Zadar's accommodation scene, all is new and modern.
This old stand-by in Borik provides good, simple accommodation. There's free parking and a swimming pool, plus various programs for kids.
This hotel is the closest to Zadar airport and about 3km from the town center. It's not a resort hotel but it is convenient for catching an early flight plus it's a quick drive to central Zadar.
Located in Diklo practically right on the beach, the Hotel Nico is a small, familial establishment. It's a quiet, relaxing place with a restaurant, bar and terrace.
Just outside the town centre, this guesthouse has modern, newly-renovated facilities. You can take a quick bus ride to town in relax in the on-site restaurant and bar.
This hotel offers small studios right on the beach between Borik and Diklo. Some rooms have balconies with sea views, there's free wireless internet access and the bus to Zadar stops only steps away.
This friendly establishment in Borik is an easy walk from the beach plus there's a lot to explore right in the neighbourhood. You can even cook up your own barbecue just outside.
Located on the Diklo beach, this guesthouse offers free wireless internet and the use of a swimming pool, sauna and tennis court nearby. The Diklo bus stops right outside.
Although not in the historic centre, this aparthotel is only a short walk away. With a lawn and outdoor swimming pool, you have a relaxing ambiance plus there's a good hotel restaurant should you be so inclined.

CODY RINGLE
OWNER/ HEAD COACH
IAN BURKHART
OWNER/HEAD COACH
Owner and Head Coach Cody Ringle focuses on Program Design, Weightlifting, and Improving Movement Patterns. He's committed to improving the quality of people's lives through strength and conditioning. "Whether it's a high school athlete who wants to develop strength and speed to play their sport at the next level, or the grandmother who only wants to be able to pick up her grandkids and live independently until 100, it doesn't matter," he says. "I have the unique ability to help someone live a better life, every single day and that is powerful stuff."
Today an experienced CrossFit Competitions athlete, Cody was introduced to CrossFit by his older brother Stan a few years back. "When I got back from college, I was overweight and out of shape. I remember my first workout involving Ring Rows, Push Ups, and Air Squats. I almost threw up and didn't come back for about three months!" When he did come back, it took a matter of only a couple of classes and he was hooked. He loves the CrossFit ideology, methodology, principles, and its ability to change lives—and is constantly working to improve the coaching abilities of our staff as well as his own.
CrossFit Level 1
CrossFit Gymnastics
USAW Sports Performance Coach
Certified Eleiko Strength Coach
CrossFit Judges Course
Coach Ian Burkhart has been a CrossFitter since 2013, and he specializes in olympic lifting. "In our sport, we hear the phrase "grind" or "hard work pays off" all the time; but that's what I love about it," he says. "I love the daily grind that comes naturally with CrossFit. I love how there is no "secret sauce", if you put the hard work in every day, you'll get to where you want to be."
An avid baseball player for his entire life, Ian caught for 18 years by continuing into a collegiate baseball career until he became injured in his Junior year. After that, he did continue to work out and that's when he saw two coaches from other teams. "They were doing these cool movements and looking like they wanted to die while having so much fun doing it," he says. "I asked if I could join a few days a week to supplement my traditional bodybuilding and I was hooked instantly." With this new learning experience ahead, Ian's love and passion for the sport took off, and he never looked back from there. "I love coaching members, because I love seeing their constant growth. Even though our members may not see it, as a coach you do. I love seeing that inner fight they're having about not putting the bar down, or rowing faster." he says "those moments are priceless."
CrossFit Level 1 Certification
Coach Stephen Graham specializes in powerlifting and strength. He is passionate for helping people leave a legacy and transforming their life. "Coaching our members is such a rewarding portion of my day. I take great joy in hearing stories of transformations," he says. "Being apart of someone's fitness journey is what gets me out of bed in the morning."
Throughout his life, Stephen has had a competitive streak, which ultimately lead him to CrossFit. With a background in many sports, such as tennis, hockey, and rugby, he ended up having injuries which made it tough to continue in his pursuit of these sports, however this is what lead him to powerlifting. "I had a tough time coping with the fact I could not perform at a high level anymore. I may not have been able to run fast and jump high, but it turns out, I was still pretty strong. Powerlifting was my next competitive venture, starting my journey with wins in my first 2 competitions." Stephen values hard work above all else, and encourages people to pursue their own strength. "The loud slam of weights hitting the ground is like music to my ears."
While they may spend a lot of time at CrossFit Coldwater, you can often find him cruising the streets on his motorcycle or crashing through the mud with his daughter on their 4 wheeler.

When upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04.1, it started telling me that something wrong happened with sysv-rc, then that there were some "initscripts dependency problems" making it "leaving unconfigured".
Then many packages were reported as incorrectly setup : procps, udev, initramfs, keyboard-configuration, console-setup, plymouth, cups, upower, gnome-session, gnome-shell, udisk, gvfs, software-center, mountall, upstart, etc.
After reading the log files, I found out that this was caused by insserv, reporting "insserv rejected the script header", coming from package virtuoso-nepomuk having an incorrect header in /etc/init.d : "missing end of LSB comment", "missing LSB tags and overrides".
This package http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/database/virtuoso-nepomuk was existing on 12.04, but was removed afterwards.
The latest version 6.1.4+dfsg1-0ubuntu1 indeed contains an incorrect header in /etc/init.d/virtuoso-nepomuk.
Then a "sudo apt-get upgrade" allowed me to finish the installation successfully.
A simple way to fix this would be to deploy a newer version of virtuoso-nepomuk for Trusty (or for Xenial, depending on the order of upgrades), with a fixed content in /etc/init.d/virtuoso-nepomuk (the only necessary change is to add the "### END INIT INFO" line).
Another approach would be to be more flexible when reading the /etc/init.d/* files, and assume the "### END INIT INFO" line at the end of the comment lines started by "### BEGIN INIT INFO", if this end line is not there. That would allow to handle this issue on other packages that might be in the same case. I would find that much cleaner, but it might be a bit more difficult.
A completely different approach would be to check the /etc/init.d/* files before starting the upgrade, and prevent the user from starting the upgrade if a non-compliant file is found. Ideally, it would also tell him which package causes the issue, and suggest to remove it.
In any case, leaving an end-user with a half-upgraded system like that is VERY bad.
Second option will break (https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-PDA/LSB-PDA/initscrcomconv.html).
I would implement the other two.
Absolute hero. After so many months this was filed, I cannot believe I'm still hitting it whilst upgrading my LTS.
Got this bug durin upgrade from 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 on stage 14.04 -> 16.04.
Can anyone following this bug help me fix my computer. See bug 655738. I would rather pursue the fix the error and finish the upgrade route. But I need step by step directions. Thanks.
Bug 655738 isn't right. Here is the link to the bug or question I submitted.


Hello! I'm Anna and this is my Life & Style Blog for my thoughts and what I like. Whether it's fashion, photography or the simple pleasures of everyday life. I enjoy the aesthetic appeal of design in any form. I started my blog in March 2010 and it is still my favorite hobby, which is growing constantly. I was born in Russia 29 years ago, but I live now in Vienna and Dubai.
I'm currently on my weight loss mission and you can follow my journey here. I started blogging about Plus Size about a year ago to encourage other women to dress themselves how they want and to motivate them! I love to travel, explore amazing cities and meet new friends!


The John Deere 1500 Series II Comfort front rotary mowers are now available in the UK & Ireland, after being sold in a number of other European countries. They are suitable for wide area mowing in the commercial, golf and amenity turf markets where operator comfort, high output mowing performance and uptime are key requirements.
Featuring a powerful Yanmar 49hp four-cylinder engine, hydrostatic four-wheel drive and diff-lock, a standard air suspension seat and a spacious operator platform with CommandArm armrest controls, the new 1505 and 1515 mowers are designed to provide a comfortable ride for all mowing jobs.
Maximum road speed is 15mph, for users who prefer to drive their machines from site to site rather than use a trailer. Front deck suspension activates automatically during road use, for a smoother ride. The optional premium cab features heating, air conditioning and excellent all-round visibility.
These professional front rotary mowers can be equipped with a choice of hydraulic side or rear-discharge decks with working widths up to 3m (10ft), which are designed to cope with long, dense grass and uneven terrain. A CrossCut function allows the operator to lift the deck just off the ground when turning, and a 'smart' weight transfer system shifts the weight from the mowing deck to the drive wheels for extra traction on rough ground.
There is a choice of four decks for the 1505 model, including the 180cm (71in) 7-Iron II side-discharge and 183cm (72in) Fastback rear-discharge units, a 223m (88in) rear-discharge deck and the 300cm (118in) Fastback Commercial deck. The 1515 comes with a 180cm (71in) rear-discharge and a 120cm (47in) side-wing rear-discharge deck, giving an overall cutting width of 285cm (112in).
Cutting heights range from 13 to 105mm (0.5 to 4.1in) or 25 to 152mm (1 to 6in) depending on the deck, and optional mulching kits are also available.

Q: initializing multiple drop support for the same view How to use two different drop support in one view itself with different transfer types?
    int srcOps = DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_COPY;
    Transfer[] dragDropTransfers = new Transfer[] { myTransferType1.getInstance() };
    this.getTreeViewer().addDragSupport(srcOps, dragDropTransfers, new OverviewDragSourceAdapter(this));
    this.getTreeViewer().addDropSupport(srcOps, dragDropTransfers, new OverviewDropAdapter(this));
    dragDropTransfers = new Transfer[] { myTransferType2.getInstance() };
    this.getTreeViewer().addDropSupport(srcOps, dragDropTransfers, new AddDropAdapter(this));

It gives org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Cannot initialize Drop.

A: Internally addDropSupport uses DropTarget. The JavaDoc for DropTarget says:

ERROR_CANNOT_INIT_DROP - unable to initiate drop target; this will
occur if more than one drop target is created for a control or if the
operating system will not allow the creation of the drop target

So you cannot use multiple calls to addDropSupport. You will have to write a single DropTargetListener

So goes an ancient hymn. Waiting, as we know, is so much part of our life and sometimes can make us fearful and apprehensive. The friend says easily enough: "Wait for me at such a place and at such a time," and he has only to be a few minutes late for anxiety and disappointment to overwhelm us.
We wait for an appointment or interview and sit in a row with those also waiting. We wait patiently at the check-out and in the communion queue. We wait to grow up; we wait for the best news and the worst news. In Beckett's play, two men sit famously on a park bench. One says, "Let's go," the other says, "We can't". "Why not?" "We're waiting for Godot". This person never turns up, so the speakers never leave the spot, never do anything except wait. Mr Micawber waited philosophically for something, not someone, "to turn up". The prophet Micah said simply, "I will wait for God." And this is what we have to do in Advent, wait for God.
Not as some fearful deity from the mountain top, but as a child; how strange. Who names this child? An old poet calls him Adonai, Root of Jesse, Lord of David's Key, Dayspring, Desire of Nations, and his mother calls him Jeshua or Jesus.
And so we begin another church's year; we shall do it this year with an ADVENT CAROL SERVICE on the 9th at 5 pm. Members of the South Dartmoor Mission Community, of which we are part, comprising the parishes of Sparkwell, Cornwood, Harford and Ivybridge, will meet in Cornwood Church, accompanied by their singers, to sing songs of promises and waiting. An "adventure" Advent which stems from the same root. All very mysterious and at the same time, exciting, as we prepare for Christmas.
In Advent we personally draw near to God, what an adventure for God! What an adventure for us! Where will it all lead? God ventures towards us, we venture towards him. It is a delight of the Advent season, this gentle, mutual approach between God and humankind and the scripture readings during this season talk about the ruthless, often mindless, asset-stripping of our spiritual lives. Our riches are our souls, our spirits, our tenderness and compassion, our sensitivity, a wealth which can so easily be torn from us by the hard materialism that Christmas has become. We must earn, of course, we must plan, we must be provident. There are mortgages, pensions, supermarkets, comforts, careers; all these things "wait" too for our attention. How much attention will we give them – enough to rob us of our spiritual assets? It is a question which Advent asks. So we travel the rough road with Mary and Joseph and arrive, always ill-prepared, for what is to happen; anxious yet happy, confused yet trusting. Eventually, we believe, all will be made plain.

Q: Find count of object values that match between two arrays I'm trying to get the count of matching data from two arrays (of objects). I want to find all instances of active being true for each group, and then create a new array that lists the count of matching items from the things array.
const groups = [
  {id: 234},
  {id: 423},
  {id: 474},
  {id: 864}
];

const things = [
  {id: 1, active: false, group: 234},
  {id: 2, active: true, group: 234},
  {id: 3, active: false, group: 234},
  {id: 4, active: true, group: 423},
  {id: 5, active: true, group: 423},
  {id: 6, active: false, group: 423}
];

The result I want to get is the group ID and the count of things that are active from the things array. I can use filter to return the active items, but how to get the count and get a new array like the output below?
I want the final results to look like :
[
  {group: 234, active: 1},
  {group: 423, active: 2}
];

A: You can do it as below, first filter and then group them by active value.

const groups = [{
  id: 234
}, {
  id: 423
}, {
  id: 474
}, {
  id: 864
}]

const things = [{
  id: 1,
  active: false,
  group: 234
}, {
  id: 2,
  active: true,
  group: 234
}, {
  id: 3,
  active: false,
  group: 234
}, {
  id: 4,
  active: true,
  group: 423
}, {
  id: 5,
  active: true,
  group: 423
}, {
  id: 6,
  active: false,
  group: 423
}];

const temp = things.filter(thing => {
  return groups.find(group => group.id == thing.group && thing.active)
}).reduce((mem, cur) => {
  mem[cur.group] = (mem[cur.group] || 0) + 1;
  return mem;
}, {});

const result = Object.keys(temp).map(key => ({
  'group': key,
  active: temp[key]
}));

console.log(result);

A: You could filter, filter and count the items.

const
    groups = [{ id: 234 }, { id: 423 }, { id: 474 }, { id: 864 }]
    things = [{ id: 1, active: false, group: 234 }, { id: 2, active: true, group: 234 }, { id: 3, active: false, group: 234 }, { id: 4, active: true, group: 423 }, { id: 5, active: true, group: 423 }, { id: 6, active: false, group: 423 }],
    groupsSet = new Set(groups.map(({ id }) => id)),
    result = Array.from(
        things
            .filter(({ active }) => active)
            .filter(({ group }) => groupsSet.has(group))
            .reduce((m, { group }) => m.set(group, (m.get(group) || 0) + 1), new Map),
        ([group, active]) => ({ group, active })
    );

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: One possible solution is to use Array.reduce() to generate an object with the active count of the desired groups. Then, on a second step, you can use Array.map() to obtain the desired output.

const groups = [{id: 234}, {id: 423}, {id: 474}, {id: 864}];

const things = [
  {id: 1, active: false, group: 234},
  {id: 2, active: true, group: 234},
  {id: 3, active: false, group: 234},
  {id: 4, active: true, group: 423},
  {id: 5, active: true, group: 423},
  {id: 6, active: false, group: 423}
];

let groupsSet = new Set(groups.map(g => g.id));

let res = things.reduce((acc, {group, active}) =>
{
    if (active && groupsSet.has(group))
        acc[group] = (acc[group] || 0) + 1;

    return acc;
}, {});

res = Object.entries(res).map(([group, active]) => ({group, active}));
console.log(res);
.as-console {background-color:black !important; color:lime;}
.as-console-wrapper {max-height:100% !important; top:0;}

How Montreal's Moment Factory attracts and retains talent
By WorkopolisDecember 1, 2017Small business profiles
Small business profiles
In the last 16 years, Moment Factory has created some of the world's most talked-about multimedia and light shows, including: the recently lit Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal; stage shows for Madonna and Nine Inch nails, and the lighting design at the U Arena in Paris. But step into their Montreal head office — an industrial building — and you soon realize their greatest creation may just be their company culture. You might, for example, find staff playing pool or digging into organic, catered lunches in a light-filled, plant-draped cafeteria.
But making employees feel at home goes deeper than what catches the eye. We asked Émilie Faubert, Moment Factory's human resources director, to let us in on how the ever-expanding company finds, entices, and retains highly skilled talent who also fit in seamlessly with the laidback, creative vibe.
Workopolis: How did the company get its start?
EF: In the 1990s, before the creation of Moment Factory, Sakchin Bessette and Dominic Audet were VJing at raves, clubs, and after-hours venues. Then in 2001, they galvanized their talents with the foundation of Moment Factory. Sakchin — or Saky, as he's known — has a background in visual art and a passion for storytelling, so he became the studio's creative director; Dominic's audiovisual expertise and futuristic vision made him chief innovation officer. Both are driven by a desire to create experiences that inspire strong emotional responses, and their skills have given rise to some amazing multimedia entertainment.
When Moment Factory expanded in 2007, Éric Fournier joined the team as partner and executive producer, helping expand the studio's horizons. Having been senior vice-president of new ventures at Cirque du Soleil and vice-president of strategic planning at Bombardier, he assumed the role of creative visionary, and looked for opportunities in new sectors. His savvy business manner has been instrumental in turning Moment Factory into an industry leader.
How has the company evolved from those early days?
Early projects with Cirque du Soleil introduced Moment Factory to the entertainment industry and to cities around the world. Later, a collaboration with Trent Reznor for Nine Inch Nails' breakout "Lights in the Sky" tour in 2008 confirmed our innovative multimedia abilities.
From there, the company's three partners have kept pushing the boundaries in multimedia and emerging art forms to create some of the most imaginative public experiences the world has ever seen.
How would you describe your company culture?
It's extremely creative and innovative, with a focus on delivering ambitious projects. Our workplace hinges on collaboration, team spirit, inspiration, sharing, initiative, and curiosity. Our mission and philosophy are steeped in an inspiring and emotional experience. In a world that is increasingly individualistic, we use technology to bring people together.
How do you find talent that matches that philosophy and provides the skills needed to keep Moment Factory at the forefront of the industry?
We use social media and headhunters, and we participate in recruitment events and professional conferences. We're able to reach a global network through our international offices. We rely on references as well as professional and student networks, and we attend college and university open-houses. That's how we've managed to go from a staff of five in 2001, to a studio with 280 employees from 19 different countries, including Brazil, the U.K., Germany, Argentina, and Spain.
How do you test a candidate's tech know-how and skills?
We assess applicant abilities through demo reels, portfolios, technical tests, and a multiple-interview process. This starts with a pre-screening of the applicant by leaders, followed by phone interviews and then one, or sometimes two, discovery interviews with the team the candidate is targeting.
And how do you determine if that person will also fit into the company culture?
Our interviews are relaxed explorations of professional experience, previous projects, life experience, and personal interests. Prior to being offered a position, applicants meet several team members and leaders to make sure their personality is a good fit and that new team members will be integrated smoothly.
What are your strategies for attracting — and retaining — talent?
We showcase innovative, creative projects on social media, and make sure we're represented at multimedia industry recruitment events. We use headhunters and we partner with educational institutions like colleges and universities. We offer a dynamic, organic, and open workflow with innovative and multidisciplinary positions as well as network development through our global offices. There are opportunities for promotions and international travel.
On top of that, we offer employee benefits and emphasize social life with happy hours, cultural activities, sports, and annual parties. Employees can decorate their workspace, and our on-site café serves delicious and healthy food by our caterer, CatKitchen, who cooks up three-meal menus daily. And we have flexible working hours to accommodate families.
How do you ensure your team members stay creative and engaged?
We consider any and all ideas and contributions; our projects are always innovative and unique; and we never do the same thing twice, which stimulates engagement and encourages our employees to push their limits. To enhance focus, we have productivity mornings twice a week with complete silence throughout the studio. Employees have access to creation and innovation spaces (black box, interactive protoroom, library), and the open workspace encourages sharing.
What are some additional perks for people considering a job with Moment Factory?
They'd be creating projects that make use of technology to bring people together and inspire them to experience strong emotions — our employees have a tangible impact on contemporary society. You become part of a growing team and work with driven, smart, and talented people. Learning is constant and there are infinite opportunities for innovation. Staff have access to the most cutting-edge technology, travel through international projects, and are exposed to a multicultural environment with language classes available. And because Moment Factory thrives on innovation, there's respect for ideas—and the right to fail.

4 things we can learn from Freedom 55 Financial's training and development program


Following our meeting at Gasworks with Mark Fisher, this exercise begins to explore the theory of Starbucks as a public space, meant to be occupied by consumers, revolutionaries and chess players contemporarily; the same way a public bench would have historically. What does it mean to be critical about capitalism within a hyper-capitalist space?
My locale, Starbucks Knightsbridge, works for it's HD capitalism, and that same glory is mimicked in the architecture of the shop. The second level has a floor to ceiling window on Knightsbridge, with familiar tables and chairs pushed up against the glass – allowing a Starbucks customer to float above the street.
Following Huw Lemmey's writing on Adi-Zones and Mark Fisher's 'Post-Capitalist Desire;' we'll use this space as a park to meet and hold a digital art critique. By performing this exercise in Starbucks Knightbridge, we put into practice some theories from Mark's earlier session. Without simply sitting in Starbucks critiquing it, we will use the space to our benefit.
Following our session at Banner Repeater with Clunie Reid, this exercise makes the assumption that we are okay with viewing art online. We understand that the greatest dissemination of our work happens this way. How is it possible to represent our work online in a thoughtful way? Are some mediums impossible to represent? What are alternative approaches to disseminating work and does work need to be disseminated in order to reach it's audience?
In Clunie Reid's session we touched upon everything from Hito Steryl's liberation through spam representation to Cady Noland's monetary withdrawal from the art world. In a current online culture where production goes up as age goes down and where the word curate means 'two tumblr posts that visually compliment' how do artists document and display work?
All participants are required to bring with them digital representation of a project they are currently working on. This can be a cell phone image of a sculpture or painting, a text (on cell, laptop, ipad) of writing, any version of the work (finished or not.) The only requirement is that you bring this work digitally represented – either how you hope it will be disseminated someday – on a website, or as an e-book, or you can digitally represent your project in process – i.e. in the studio, etc. The idea is for us to share what we are working on and perform an honest critique. Through representing it digitally, we may see something about either the work or it's representation that will further clarify our inquiry into representation as a whole.
Leslie Kulesh Practice is engaged in critiquing up to date pop-cultural narratives through sculpture, achievement and video. Telling stories, addressing problems, and that specialize in specific minoritarian struggles, his work tackles intercultural points of convergence like those between feminism, environmental and technology. Finding at these crossroads area to hold out investigations, and interpreting them through these numerous mediums.

Q: Como obtener la fecha con el evento click usando fullcalendar estoy utilizando el la librería fullcalendar.
El principal problema que me estoy encontrando es que necesito obtener la fecha que fue seleccionada en el calendario. Es decir, ¿Hay alguna manera de capturar la fecha cada vez que hago clic una fecha especifica en el calendario?
Si bien estoy obteniendo la fecha y guardándola en un campo de texto, no puede obtener el valor actualizado en el caso de que quiera seleccionar otro día.
Adjunto el código que estoy utilizando para obtener la fecha y almacenarlo en un campo de texto.

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({

Bets on sports occasions of any sort definitely carries heavy risk for the invested money. Simply put, the thoughts strategies are a manner of putting the correct quantity of stress on a specific occasion, within the mind of the sportsperson, in order that he or she peaks at the right time. Youngsters learn teamwork through sports when their coaches inform them to go the ball to one of their teammates. This edge in fitness for youth is very important on the later phases of the sport too, as gamers tend to tire sooner at this age.
He was the primary Asian man to win an Olympic gold medal in track, and his victory in Greece was hailed in his nation as a cultural leap forward because it ran counter to the stereotypes of what makes a fantastic the medalist´s press convention following the men´s one hundred ten-meter hurdlers, Liu mentioned: "My victory has proved that athletes with yellow pores and skin can run as quick as these with black and white pores and skin".
Russia has been banned from sending a team to February's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. This understanding of the spirit of the game makes a sportsman somewhat totally different from all others. And we're always on the lookout for more considering players in our pitch which will give the workforce a better likelihood of attaining peak performance in sports. The hard work for any sports season begins with the preseason coaching which may be very intensive.
Examples of this could be assaults throughout a game to be premeditated to severely harm one other participant like a hockey participant using his stick as a weapon, or baseball pitchers deliberately throwing at batters particularly in the head and neck area. Since their sports are one repetition maximum (1-RM) sport, it would not make sense if they do greater than 5 repetitions or 12 repetitions per set throughout training.
The participation in sports will make our future residents disciplined, obedient, co – operative and having excessive group – spirits in all spheres of life. Athletes, coaches, followers, and parents generally unleash violent behaviour on folks or property, in misguided exhibits of loyalty, dominance, anger, or celebration. This is essential during weekend tournaments when there are many games in a really quick time span – even two video games in sooner or later.

Press Pass: Buffalo Spree's Women of Food
By Mark Scott • Oct 23, 2018
Food is big business in Western New York, and according to the November issue of Buffalo Spree, women are playing an increasingly important role. In this week's Press Pass with WBFO's Mark Scott, Spree editor Elizabeth Licata says women are well-represented across the industry.

Also in Press Pass, Mark and Elizabeth talk about "Giant Steps," a new exhibit at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery that explores Pop art from the 1960s.
The November issue of Buffalo Spree also marks the beginning of a partnership between the magazine and Investigative Post, whose editor Jim Heaney writes about the obstacles reporters face in trying to get information from all levels of government.
Mark and Elizabeth also touch on Buffalo Bills rookie Quarterback Josh Allen and the challenges he faces.

After a very competitive and combative 0-0 draw, in which these two heavyweights of the women's game had chances, both keepers excelled and Germany came away a little less content with one point, we bring you the reaction from the press conference, CHRIS BROOKES reports.
Given the history, a point may look like a victory for them against Germany, but is she disappointed?
No, I have to say that the way it turned out to be, with chances and especially with the way we defended, I think it's okay. Of course, it could have been a better result, but on the other hand, I think it's a good result to start the tournament, which for us has been very crucial (in the past). If you compare to the other tournaments, we struggled a little bit, so this time, I have to say I'm satisfied.
Player of the Match was Dsenifer Marozsán, did she feel Nilla Fischer or Hedvig Lindahl would have been a better choice?
Marozsán is a great player, so that will do for me, thanks.
Why didn't Stine Blackstenius start, given how well she did when she came on in the second half?
Well, the reason she played well was because she was on the bench from the beginning and came off the bench. That's the plan we had.
What's the situation with Olivia Schough's injury?
When we took her off, the medical team said 'do you want her to play?' and I said 'well, not necessary; we need her in the whole tournament.' I haven't checked right now but I think she will be fine, so it's just the way that we want her to play in more games and that's why we were a little bit careful with her. I don't think it's a problem.
Asked about the bad corners from Sweden?
(Laughs) It's funny because we practice quite a bit with corner kicks and Olivia's done very well, with the whole team, but today, they struggled a little bit. I would say that's okay today; it will not be okay against Russia.
How important is the next game, with Sweden on a point and Russia on three?
It is very important of course. First of all, if you take the self-confidence that all of us gained today, a lot of situations we'll bring up and look at, playing against Russia will be very important. I'm really happy that we have some days to recover, because some of the players out there, I think they're really tired. The way the game turned out today was tough, some good performances, but we will be prepared for the Russia game.
What did she think of the general quality of the game?
I think it was okay. Some interesting chances, and a little bit of just waiting to see when we should attack and when we shouldn't. If you look at it as the first game in the tournament, I think it was okay.
When we prepared for bringing her on the pitch, the only thing we said to her was to try to get a footrace, and 'every time you touch the ball, just go forward.' You say that when you have a limited time to play; you can't say that at the beginning of the game. I think she did exactly what she was supposed to do. She had a little bit of a touch where it went out of bounds, but she helped us quite a bit with the way she played, so I'm happy with her performance.
Was she more frustrated with the first half or happy that the second half went a bit better?
I always like to see the positive side of things, so I'm happy that the team carried out the instructions as given by the coaching staff at half-time. The first half, there was a little bit too much respect for the Swedish team, but we fought from the first minute onwards, so we can be happy with that.
You came close several times but what was missing?
I think the last pass was not really good from us, and the concentration on the last shot was not exact, so I think that was the problem. Second half, we had some good combination, just the last pass or shot was not exact.
Sweden always play in a tight formation, with a compact defence and playing on the counter-attack, so it was like we prepared for.
Asked about her saying something for only five minutes during half-time – and who generally does the talking during this scenario?
(Smiling) Why is it so special that I only spoke for five minutes during half-time? I'm always pretty concise in my wording! Normally, the players come in and sit down, then I mention one or two points and everyone has to go and do their own thing; go to the toilet or make their own preparation for the second half [some laughter among Steffi, press officer and translator]. So, that's usually how it goes.
Opinion on the Sweden team they played tonight?
We kind of expected Sweden to play like this; with a very tight-knit defence and danger on the counter. Of course, there is always danger of a counter if your forward pressing isn't successful. We expected Sweden to play like that.
Pia says Sweden took a lot of confidence from this match, what does Steffi take?
Well, I told my team they shouldn't be too disappointed with the match. Second half was quite good and we have to continue with what we do well – combination football, be dominant – and perhaps play a bit more forward with an attacking style.
What was the thinking behind playing Kristin Demann at number six and Sara Däbritz in midfield?
Demann has good ball control and is very consistent, even when pressured. Sara can also play very well in the construction of an attack, to play forward. Sara is a great attacking player and she's also shown she can put pressure on the offensive, and she showed that in the match.
Will we continue to see a lot of attacking players subbed in during the tournament?
Italy of course has a different playing style than Sweden. They don't just play on the long ball forward, and we have players capable of playing multiple styles. We can put on different combinations of players also.
Her feelings during the match – more joy or torment (reference made to Mandy Islacker going close to scoring)?
Of course, the joy is superior in that every time there is a chance or a corner kick you do want the ball to go in, and you do feel it with every fibre of your body. In the second half, I was confident that we were in control and the goal would come, but unfortunately it didn't work out.
After today, how will she relax and regroup for the next match?
The bench players will get an extra day training, and after that, they will be joined in the second training by the entire group. We will also analyse the match from Sweden, with of course the positive points that we had, and then it's quickly onwards to the match against Italy. This has also been a learning experience for the team and we have to analyse what we got out of our preparation for the match; perhaps we will need to modify the preparation slightly towards the next match.
First time coaching a game at a major tournament – how does it compare to playing in one?
I'm of course happy it started. In the weeks leading up to this match we have prepared a lot, and it's a relief that the show is finally on the road. As a trainer, you have a different responsibility because as a player, you're focusing on the match; as a trainer, you've also got the final responsibility that everything goes well. It's a different pressure, but not heavier.

Two Years On With Joel2016-06-132016-06-13https://www.pbf.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/pbf-logo-with-cback.pngPBF Paraplegic Benefit Fundhttps://www.pbf.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Joel-Army-Edited.jpg200px200px
Two Years On With Joel
PBF Australia was established to help people move forward after a spinal cord injury. When one of our members is injured it is a devastating time for everyone, but PBF take some solace in the fact that we are able to help.
Joel Sardi, a 23 year old rifleman serving in the Australian Army for 4 years, had recently returned home from a 7 month deployment in Afghanistan. An aspiring football player with the Seaton Ramblers AFL Club in South Australia, Joel had a very fit and active lifestyle. Like most young people his complaints were trivial – a dislocated shoulder so he couldn't play football, a phone battery that wouldn't last past 10am, sick of cooking himself dinner every night. Joel never thought he would be dealt a major setback.
Tracey, Joel's mum, was at home in Victoria when she received the call. "I will remember the 31st August 2014 forever, when I received the shattering news that Joel had fallen over a staircase while on a football outing with friends. He had broken his C2 & C5 vertebrae which had unfortunately caused some spinal cord damage, as well as fracturing some thoracic vertebrae and his sternum." Joel's injury meant that he is now a C5 incomplete quadriplegic with no movement in his legs and upper body and can only activate his biceps, forearms and wrists. "What's funny is I did all that damage to my body and my glasses were intact – nothing was broken."
Joel was officially discharged from the Army in January this year. He currently works for Ironside Recruitment, helping ex defence force personal find compatible jobs that carry their skill set across from the forces to mainstream jobs. As we approach the 2 year anniversary of Joel's incident I had the pleasure of chatting with him to see how he is learning to live with a Spinal Cord Injury.
"One of the biggest learning curves for me is being comfortable in public in my wheelchair. Simply getting used to people staring. Relying on other people to do everything for you is also incredibly difficult. Simple things like negotiating footpaths are still a daily challenge. We live in a hilly area so I have to be careful and plan ahead to make sure I don't get stuck."
Joel is still in the early stages of his rehabilitation process – 2 years is not long when talking about SCI. The extent of Joel's recovery is unknown. He has his ups and downs but generally takes each day as it comes not looking too far ahead. Daily he must make sure he remains healthy both physically and mentally. In his spare time Joel likes to look after Bonsai plants. This Japanese art form primarily involves contemplation and a pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity. Helping create a relaxed, centred and recharged environment.
Prior to Joel's incident the Seaton Ramblers Football Club had taken out Corporate Membership with PBF Australia, covering all of their players, staff and officials. This meant Joel was able to claim a benefit payment soon after his medical diagnosis. The PBF payment allowed Joel to purchase special equipment to progress his rehabilitation and created options around independent living. He lives with his parents in Victoria and PBF's Membership enabled the Sardi family to modify their family home (including necessary extensive excavation work into 15m of rock).
Joel has faced a lot of challenges but has more ahead of him. On the 2nd of June Joel and his girlfriend Elisa embarked on a 3 month adventure to The States and Italy. First stop being San Diego where Joel will begin a 6 week treatment at 'Project Walk.' All of us at PBF Australia wish Joel and his family the very best on the journey ahead and look forward to remaining a part of it.
When asked how PBF Australia has helped him move forward Joel replied "They got me home sooner."

According to Administrative Memorandum – Number 345, all full-time undergraduate students are expected to comply with the Board's 1993 Plan to Improve Graduation Rates by enrolling in an average of at least 15 semester hours per term in order to graduate in four years.
Since the majority of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University's academic programs require 124 semester hours, to complete degree program in 8 semesters, requires students to complete an average of 16 hours per semester or complete 32 semester hours in an academic year.
Undergraduate students enrolled in twelve (12) or more semester hours are designated as full-time students and must pay full tuition and fees. Full-time students usually carry from 15 to 18 semester hours. To enroll in more than 18 semester hours, students must get approval from the department head and the dean.
The maximum course load that students who are on academic probation may carry is 15 semester hours. The maximum course load for a student with a GPA less than 3.0 is 18 hours.

Ex-boyfriend held woman at gunpoint, forced her to take pills resulting in miscarriage
Jagmeet Sanhhu, 23, is due in court Friday
by: Taylor Schaub
Police say a woman is recovering after her ex-boyfriend held her at gunpoint and forced her to take pills resulting in a miscarriage.
Bakersfield police arrested the ex-boyfriend, Jagmeet Sandhu, 23.
Police say Sandhu confronted his pregnant ex-girlfriend at her residence early Tuesday morning.
"Her ex-boyfriend arrived at her apartment with a gun and made her take an unknown pill with the intent of having a miscarriage," Bakersfield police Sgt. Nathan McCauley said.
Officers were tipped off the alleged assault at around 1 a.m. by a family member of the woman.
At a local hospital, the woman confirmed to police the allegations leading up to her miscarriage which took place later that morning, police said.
"Detectives found several items of evidence to corroborate the victim's statement," McCauley said.
Authorities arrested Sandhu early Wednesday afternoon for murder, domestic assault, and false imprisonment.
We attempted to reach Sandhu's family at their house, but no one came to the door.
Louis Gill is not involved in the case and has not specific knowledge of its facts but he is an expert on domestic violence and says crimes against pregnant women are not uncommon behavioir in relationships where domestic abuse exists.
"When a major event like a pregnancy happens they can become fearful and want to control that outcome … this is one of the worst outcomes," Gill said.
Gill is the executive director of the Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault.
"Any individual in a relationship that where they feel that they are being controlled needs to seek help."
"This is an example of how vile it is when another human feels they have the right to control another person's body," he said.
Sandhu is due in court Dec. 13.
There are phone numbers you can use if you or anyone you know needs help from domestic violence.
Always call 911 if there is an emergency.
You can also call the Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault's 24-hour crisis line at 327-1091.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
You can also go to the Family Justice Center at Oak and 21st streets.

Abstract: This paper describes a calculation strategy that allows determining the optimal number and placement of sectionalizing switches in MV radial distribution networks, in correspondence to technical, regulatory and economical aspects. A formulation that takes into account the investment, maintenance and power interruption costs has been developed, seeking for a reduction in total costs while taking care of the regulatory and technical aspects. A multicriteria optimization procedure allows incorporating in the calculating process various quality indicators which can be either global or individual indexes. This way of formulation makes the proposal flexible as well as applicable to allow including aspects that were not considered in previous papers. The solution methodology is mainly based on dynamic programming, fuzzy logic, heuristics and economic analysis techniques. Given its flexibility, the proposed tool is easily adapted to real distribution systems, by considering the individual requirements of each network. The solutions obtained in simulations are oriented to help decision-making for the operator.
Abstract: Situs inversus totalis is a very rare anomaly. Even more, cases of situs inversus totalis plus hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. A woman presented with cyanosis, clubbing of fingers and distal edema. Chest examination revealed heart sounds at the right side and a heart murmur. Abdominal examination showed liver dullness in the left side. The X-rays showed dextrocardia and liver in the left side. The Upper digestive barium test showed the stomach in the right side, the barium enema showed caecum on the left. Treatment for heart failure improved the patient's condition and she remained well. When she became pregnant, developed heart failure again and required admission. She was compensated and continued her pregnancy. 3 years later she developed heart and respiratory refractory failure, was admitted again and after few days she died. We report this case of situs inversus totalis in association with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy because of the rarity of this anomaly.
Abstract: The paper aims to know the idioms that the elderly use to describe and make sense of their experience of aging. It is based on ethnographic data gathered through the in-depth interview of 30 normal and community dwelling elderly in Marikina City, Metro Manila, Philippines in 2012-2013. The participants were chosen through compulsive sampling from the registry of 1385 senior citizens screened free from dementia. Their age ranged from 60 to 90 years, regardless of social class, gender, ethnicity, religion and other indices of difference. The interviews were transcribed, verbatim, and coded for the idioms, their meanings and contexts in which the elderly used them. The elderly communicate in idioms, which maybe basic to denote identity that obtains from aging or secondary in that they develop from the basic ones and help define identity further. The idioms relate to either continuity or discontinuity theory of aging or help rationalize what it means to be human and elderly.
The application of the Moroccan Family Code by Spanish legal operators is not simple, to the extent that it is not only a question of knowing its contents, but also, behind each of its articles and, relating to the institutions contained in the Code, there is a specific understanding of the world and, more specifically, family relations. The Spanish system of Private International Law is to serve as a "communication channel" between legislations which are beginning to coincide due to the new private international situations taking place in Spain, as a new foreign population begins to settle, in particular when it comes to female Moroccan immigrants. In these cases, Moroccan family law may be applied or considered by the Spanish authorities, favouring thus the recognition of decisions taken in Morocco.
Abstract: The recognition of cultural diversity as a value of the European Union Law is undoubtedly present in the current process of integration, which, in turn, is related to the maintenance of peace. Without prejudice to the treatment given by national regulations (Private International Law systems) of each Member State to the issue of cultural diversity existing in the current European society, it may be mentioned the positioning that has also been taken by the EU legislature of PIL on the treatment of said diversity. Tools used by the Private International Law system both for European Union Member States and for the European Private International Law system itself to give answers to this multiculturalism located in the territory that comprises the European Union Member States are discussed below. In particular, art. 10 of the Council Regulation (EU) no. 1259/2010, of 20 December 2010, implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation. This exception (public policy) will be practically operational in general when it comes to the implementation of the national system of an Islamic countries, because it may be considered that there is a difference between men and women in everything related to family relationships. The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibility of the "recognition method" as a clause for the interpretation of Private International Law to permit the application of foreign Muslim Law by European authorities in family cases and to avoid limping relationships.
Abstract: Some cellular editing functions can restrict the replication of some viruses but contribute to completion of the life cycle of others. A recent study has identified an isoform of the adenosine deaminase acting on RNA type 1 (ADAR 1) as required for embryogenesis, and as a restriction factor for a number of important RNA virus pathogens . The dual implication of key cellular functions in the innate immunity against viruses, or, paradoxically, as mediators of virus replication is interpreted in the light of the concept of virus-host coevolution and tinkering proposed for general evolution by Fran?ois Jacob decades ago.
Abstract: this paper tries to show that there has been an evolution in paul ricoeur's concept of testimony and that also his first juridical definition is different from others of the same origin. to determine this point we will compare his definition with c.a.j. coady's. we will try to explain the motives, implications and limitations of its differences. then it will be established that in remembering, history and oblivion the philosopher leaves the juridical concept of testimony, which main issues are to be a declaration inside a debate, and prefers an other one that define it as a dialogical natural institution. our hypothesis is that this change was not due to phenomenical but to contextual causes.
Abstract: ernst bloch's 125th birthday and a recent re-edition of his main work principle of hope are both good reasons to offer a brief introduction to this last century important philosopher's work. this article will frst present his main ideas in his biographic, intellectual and socio historical context to later introduce the concept of anticipatory consciousness as bloch's theory central guideline. the final part of this essay is dedicated to this "philosopher of utopia" influence and continuity.
Abstract: an assessment of floristic assemblage of aquatic vascular plants was carried out in the lagartococha riberine system of the reserva de producción faunística cuyabeno (rpfc) in the amazon basin of ecuador. the aims of the study were to determine the structure and composition of aquatic vegetation within riparian environments, aimed to recognize conservation targets for monitoring programs and identify the species habitat preferences applying non parametric statistic analysis. twenty eight transects were established across the riverine system, located over different types of vegetation. the similarities in aquatic plants distribution were analysed with jaccard index, while the similarities of cover patterns were analysed by steinhaus index. the changing patterns of environment conditions in the sampling places were correlated by a principal component analysis. three kinds of vegetation were determined: gramalote, dominant in lotic environments; mandial, growing only in delfincocha and imuya lakes and riparian vegetation spread along the most lentic environments (lakes). twenty eight aquatic vascular plants were recorded including amphibians and submersed life forms. only five species have widespread distribution across the river system and three species were restricted to one kind of environment. four life forms were recorded: the rooted floating plants, which are dominants (43% of the overall species), the emergent rooted plants (32%), the free floating plants (14%) and the submersed rooted plants (11%). according with the species richness and the different kinds of vegetation which are growing in delfincocha and imuya lakes is necessary to consider those environments as a priority target of conservation in the area. moreover in those environments there are a few populations of cabomba furcata schult. & schult. f. (cabombaceae), hydrocotyle ranunculoides l. f. (apiaceae) y najas arguta kunth (najadacae) that are likely unique records for this riparian system.

Women's lacrosse lose two straight
The Plattsburgh State Women's Lacrosse Team played two games this past week. Monday, they were home against Norwich University. They were on the road Wednesday against Bard College.
The Cardinals were up by three at halftime against Norwich as the score was 8-5. The second half of the game did not go too well for PSUC because they were outscored 6-2. The Cards were defeated 10-11.
Norwich attacker Emily Schromm led all scorers with four goals.
PSUC sophomore attacker/ midfielder Frankie Porcaro and freshman midfielder Reece Wiley both led Plattsburgh in scoring with three goals a piece.
Head coach Julia Decker said the team got comfortable with first half lead.
"We came out of halftime with a three-goal lead, and I think we felt comfortable while Norwich came out of halftime with something to prove," she said. "They ended up winning the draws and were very aggressive going to goal. We also had trouble clearing the ball and switching fields quickly, and Norwich caused us to turn the ball over a lot in our own defensive end. "
Norwich had a slight edge over the Cards in turnovers, losing possession 24 times to PSUC's 26.
Junior attacker/ defender Russia Boles said that this was a learning experience
"The first half we were working really hard," Boles said. "We were relaxed and I think we were underestimating the team a little too much. I think that somewhat contributed to why we had to fall this past games. I think we have learned from this, and in the future, we are going to keep the same energy throughout the game never take points we have for granted and keep working hard."
Decker said the main focus in practice this week for the new team was just sticking to the basics.
"This week has been busy with three games in five days," Decker said. "We have continued to work on the fundamentals while also adding more pressure-filled scenarios on the clears and in shooting drills."
The Cards looked to bounce back from their previous loss at home when they were set to take on Bard college.
Junior attacker Katelyn Mcglauflin said they are determined to come back from this.
"I think we have to stay out of our heads. We have to stay focused on the game," she said. "We can't sit back and think because we are scoring goals that we are OK. We have to stay focused in putting all our energy into the game we are playing."
PSUC could not get anything going in that game as they were outscored 14-1 in the first half. In the second half, the Cards scored the five of their six goals but also gave up five goals as well. PSUC was defeated 19-6
Bard midfielder Melissa Rosenthal led all scorers with six goals.
Porcaro was the leading scorer for the Cards, scoring four goals.
PSUC continues its road trip as they will take on Hartwick college Tuesday night and the College of Mount Saint Vincent Wednesday.
Decker gave the keys for the Cards to secure victories.
"We need to gain possession of the ball, be able to clear it and finish without a long lapse," she said. "We need 60 minutes of determined and smart play, and be able to have fun at the same time. That is when we play our best lacrosse. "

About one week later, Flint River spill containment and cleanup starting to wind down
WKAR Public Media | By Steve Carmody | Michigan Radio

The spill in the Flint River.
Crews have removed between 13,000 to 14,000 gallons of an unidentified oily substance from the Flint River in the week since a fisherman first reported the spill.
Containment and cleanup operations on the river are beginning to wind down.
State officials say Lockhart Chemical Company has been identified as the source of the oily material — and accepted responsibility. The company produces anti-rust additives.
But Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson admitted that they have still not discovered the source of the leak beneath one of the city's industrial zones. He called it an "autopsy of the dirt."
"Imagine 50, 75 years of piping," said Swanson. "It's a matrix down there."
Swanson expects it will take time to discover the exact location of the breach. But he said the small amount of material still turning up is residual and there is not new material leaking.
Genessee County officials continue to discourage residents from fishing or coming into contact with the part of the Flint River affected by the spill.
Crews set up absorbent booms along as far as 20 miles downstream. Most of the containment and cleanup efforts have been scaled back to about a mile from the source of the spill.
