Adult Day Center a need in Estes Park
By Claire Woodcock | claire@eptrail.com | Estes Park Trail-Gazette
Community members are vocalizing their need and interest in an Adult Day Center for Estes Park's senior population. These are places where a caregiver can leave a care recipient in a safe and social environment for the day or less.
"A lot of times people become caregivers or have a caregiver because of health issues," said Jill Liken, Caregiver Support Program Manager with the Volunteers of America Colorado Respite Coalition.
Those health issues often look like Alzheimer's disease and dementia symptoms, or Parkinson's disease or mobility issues like visual impairment or audio impairment. Being a caregiver is not easy work. They are expected to care for recipients often at all hours of the day and night.
"It's really important for caregivers to take care of their own needs and those often can get pushed aside with the demands of 24/7 caregiving," Liken said. "It's actually really good for them to take that break. Because the more they're taking care of their [own] health, the more they're going to be able to give back to their loved one."
In a recent letter to the Estes Park News, David Born urged the Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees to consider an Adult Day Center to be at least as important as a Child Care Center.
"Not thinking about these individuals is easy when they are largely out of sight and being cared for by family members," said Born in the letter. "But these families also need at least one occasional respite, something a high quality Adult Day program could provide."
Katie Fahrenbruch, the Regional Director of the Alzheimer's Association Northern Colorado Chapter, said the benefits of an Adult Care Center for those dealing with a debilitating disease or disorder are both astronomical and immeasurable for brain health.
"When our brain is already under attack by something like Alzheimer's, we are fighting an uphill battle," said Fahrenbruch. "But the benefits to brain health by socialization alone are huge. They're very impactful. Our overall well being, our self esteem, all of those things make the caregiving side of things a lot easier when the person being cared for feels better about themself. The opportunity to have a place where people can go and socialize and feel like they're part of something benefits everyone around that person as well."
According to the Alzheimer's Association, 5.7 million people were living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2017, with 5.5 million of those people being 65 or older. Fahrenbruch raised the point that the caregiver and care recipient relationship is a rare time when two people provide everything they need to each other. People often find fulfillment in community, which is often found in public places.
"What we see when people have dementia, that social circle shrinks and it shrinks way down for most people until it's me and my primary caregiver," she said. "An adult day program really allows people to expand their social network back out and get filled up by other people that are not a caregiver for them."
Kelly Claypool works as the Recreation Coordinator for Senior and Active Adults at the Estes Valley Community Center. Claypool said she has seen many cases where one spouse is taking care of the other and they could use assistance. But while the need is there and there is a support base for it, Claypool said different organizations in the community need to come together to make an Adult Day Center in Estes Park a reality.
"You need people that are specialized in working with people with Alzheimer's and dementia," said Claypool. "In the community, I'm not sure collaboration-wise if that could be done. It's finding a location that's safe, depending on the level of dementia. Sometimes that has to be a private entity that would have to take that on."
Many of the adult day care centers that exist throughout the states partner with other organizations including medical centers and home care agencies. The median age of a resident in Estes Park is 59, and many above that ballpark, below, or around it see that the potential is there.

Reentry Courts: A Critique of Implementation and Theoretical Design
Jacob Hasson University of New Haven
The United States' criminal justice system is in the process of rebounding from punitive policies, known as the "get tough movement," which led to unprecedented growth in prison populations and associated fiscal costs. As of 2015, 2.2 million people were housed in US prisons and jails (The Sentencing Project, 2015). With the average inmate costing approximately $31,000 per year, states are looking to relieve themselves of these excessive costs and are attempting to find cost-effective alternatives to incarceration (Vera Institute of Justice, 2012).
One such approach garnering much attention by researchers and practitioners alike is the utilization of reentry courts for inmates returning to the community after incarceration. Reentry courts began in 1999, through funding by the US Department of Justice and were modeled after drug courts. Their purpose is to reduce recidivism and technical violations by providing oversight and assistance to inmates as they transition into the community (Ndrecka et al., 2017). If implemented correctly, reentry courts can work with clients and mitigate their risk of recidivism during a time when they are at the highest risk of reoffending. This, in turn, could decrease recidivism rates and overall prison populations.
Theoretical Basis for Reentry Courts
While reentry courts differ throughout the country, there are two main theories reentry courts have used to ground their practice, which will be discussed in this paper. The first, deterrence theory, attempts to produce compliance to probation and parole stipulations by applying punishment. Deterrence is seen in two forms, general and specific. In the case of prisoner reentry, specific deterrence would be punishing an offender to deter future crime and violations. On the other hand, general deterrence refers to citizens views on punishment, believing that individuals will not commit crimes due to fear of being punished. Theoretically, deterrence works best when punishments are applied swiftly, with certainty, and at an appropriate level of severity (Chircos & Walden, 1970; Nagin, 2013).
The empirical support for deterrence theory has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. During this time, as a field, the focus of deterrence research has shifted from determining how the threat of sanctions impacts levels of deterrence and how programs should attempt to increase conventional ties (Nagin, 1998), to certainty of apprehension being the main factor in deterrence that prevents future criminal activity (Nagin, 2013).
These changes in research findings have greatly shifted the aim of deterrence based programmatic interventions. Early findings, such as Ehrlich's (1975) study that found capital punishments (a severe penalty) to increase deterrence, spurred a "get tough on crime" movement that lasted through the 1990's. This resulted in harsh policies, such as lengthy prison sentences, increased use of the death penalty, and harsher community correction stipulations. However, with more recent research limiting the effectiveness of deterrence to certainty of apprehension, targeted deterrence-based programs, such as "hot-spot" policing, have shown success in reducing crime through increasing police presence in high-risk areas (Nagin, 2013).
The findings that certainty of apprehension can deter future criminality have now been applied to reentry courts. Encouraged by the initial findings of Project H.O.P.E. (Hawaii Opportunity Probation with Enforcement), where after applying "swift and sure" punishments to parolees who use illicit drugs, researchers found a reduction in probation violations, decreases in the amount of positive drug screenings, decreasing arrests for those in the program, and lowered likelihood of future imprisonment (Nagin, 2016). With these impressive initial findings, 16 states and 40 jurisdictions have created deterrence-based reentry courts (Hamilton et al., 2016).
The second theory commonly cited in the implementation of reentry courts is the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model. In the RNR model, inmates are assessed for risk factors, such as a poor employment history or past substance abuse. These risk factors inform what needs must be focused on to ensure success in the community. Once needs are determined, responsivity dictates that treatment should be targeted and individualistic (Andrews et al., 2011). The RNR framework states that higher risk individuals should be targeted with treatment that addresses specific criminogenic needs (Ndrecka et al., 2017).
As opposed to deterrence theory, where substance use would garner a certain and severe punishment to deter future use, RNR holds that substance use is a criminogenic risk that needs to be addressed through a targeted response, such as substance abuse treatment. While implemented less often than deterrence-based reentry courts, failures in deterrence-based programs can be enhanced through applying the RNR frame work. Later in this essay, these two theoretical bases' will be compared, and recommendations for future research will be provided.
Review of Recent Literature
In 2017, DeVall and colleagues studied Michigan's Swift and Sure Sanctions Probation Program (SSSPP). The goals of SSSPP are to increase the level of probation compliance and decrease levels of drug and alcohol use through swift and known punishment outcomes for violating terms of probation. The program consists of an initial warning hearing, where program participants are explained the purpose of the program and told the consequences for failure to meet expectations. Regularly scheduled meetings with probation are set up, and if violations occur, a hearing will take place within 72 hours, ensuring swiftness. This practice contrasts with "probation as usual" (PAU), which the authors note has received criticism for responding to violations slowly. During this hearing, possible sanctions, or assistance, such as mental health counseling, would be determined by a judge.
A quasi-experimental sample of 379 "medium high" and "high" risk offenders on probation was compared to offenders in jurisdictions without SSSPP implementation during the same period. The authors found that SSSPP participants showed statistically significant lower rates of recidivism than probation as usual participants (37.7% vs. 46.7%). Further, program participants showed lower rates of alcohol and drug use than the comparison group (DeVall et al., 2017). The authors attribute the success of SSSPP to a blending of deterrence and RNR practices. Focusing on medium-high and high-risk offenders and offering services, in addition to quickly enforced sanctions, allows for the court to utilize RNR principals while increasing accountability.
However, not all programs have shown the success indicated by SSSPP. Morgan and colleagues (2016) examined the makeup of specialty court participants and how this related to program success. The authors hypothesized that specialty treatment court participants, including reentry, drug, and DWI courts, would have a different population than treatment as usual, due to referral bias. Further, the authors believed that reentry court participants would have significantly lower missed court appointments and failed urinalysis tests.
In their study, the authors identified 274 offenders who were scheduled to one of three specialty courts: reentry, drug, or DWI. The authors found no evidence of referral bias, stating that there was no significant difference in ethnicity, socio-economic status, or type of attorney between specialty court referrals and non-court referrals. In terms of program outcomes, the authors found that court participants were more likely to miss scheduled court appointments and had a higher likelihood of failing urinalysis tests (Morgan et al., 2016). These findings went against the original hypothesis of the authors and showed that the deterrence-based model did not increase program participation and abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
Findings that indicated limited support for deterrence-based reentry courts were also revealed in the analysis of the "Decide Your Time" (DYT) program in Delaware (O'Connell et al., 2016). In DYT, deterrence, graduated sanctions, and coerced abstinence are used to reduce recidivism rates among drug involved probationers. Participants are informed of what is required of them (no substance abuse) and what will happen if they fail to meet program requirements (increased sanctions and supervision). However, if probationers do not fail a urinalysis test for three months, they are rewarded with lower levels of supervision.
O'Connell and colleagues (2016) implemented a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 400 high or medium-high risk offenders and compared them to a control group of treatment as usual probationers. In line with deterrence theory and the initial results of Project H.O.P.E, the authors hypothesized that participants in the DYT program would have better outcomes (fewer arrests, decreased recidivism) and less drug use than those with standard probation. However, the findings indicated there was no significant difference in drug use or recidivism measures between the two groups. Rather, the authors found that age, employment status, and treatment participation were significantly associated with lower numbers of future arrests.
Policy Implications
When discussing the practical and policy implications of their findings, O'Connell and colleagues (2016) stated that future reentry court models need to consider offender attributes and include employment and treatment-based programs. This is similar to the findings of Michigan's SSSPP program that attributed the program's success to incorporating elements of risk reduction and support to judicial options for punishment (DeVall et al., 2017). According to Cullen and colleagues (2016), in their review of mixed findings in support of deterrence theory in Project HOPE, the authors stated that reentry programs strictly adhering to deterrence models are based on limited criminological theory, and they fail to incorporate best practices learned in the "what works" literature. Overall, the authors argue that incorporating elements of "what works" and RNR would improve many reentry court models that only utilize deterrence-based principles.
However, while considered a "best practice" in the field of prisoner reentry, it is rare that an RNR model is fully implemented (Ndrecka et al., 2017). As a field, it is important that best practices are prioritized in programmatic design and evaluated to ensure fidelity. According to Miller and Khey (2016), in their evaluation of Louisiana's 22nd Judicial Districts reentry court, "the reentry knowledge base rests on the general assertion that holistic services individualized according to needs and situations that are instigated prior to release, maintained during transition, and continued as aftercare are most likely to be successful" (p.576). Future research should focus on how RNR models can be implemented within reentry courts, thereby improving strict deterrence-based models by incorporating sanctions that target specific criminogenic risk factors and address the needs of the inmates. Further, process evaluations that focus on implementation and fidelity to best practices may be able to delineate between programs that show early success and programs that can be generalized and replicated.
Overall, the US criminal justice system needs to cut costs and reduce the burden placed on state budgets. Reentry courts and other programs that attempt to reduce prison populations, while still holding offenders accountable, are going to be popular. However, if these programs are going to work they need to be based on solid criminological theory and apply best practices known in the field. Programs based on deterrence theory have shown mixed results. However, reentry programs that utilize RNR principals have been shown to improve program effectiveness. Moving forward, if the United States is going to reduce the spending associated with incarceration, best practices need to be prioritized to ensure programs like reentry courts operate in an efficient and theoretically sound manner.

Q: Android Studio has extra unkown device I am trying to do some remote debugging in Android Studio.
Recently I've had an issue where an extra device will pop-up named Unknown Device so when i run adb tcpip 5555 I get the error message: error: more than one device/emulator
So I need to get rid of this Unknown Device
So far here is what I've tried:

*

*adb kill-server

*Invalidate Android Studio Cache and restart

*Restart my computer

*Looked for anything in ~/.android/avd/ which may cause it (There was nothing)

*Ran Android Studios troubleshooter which restarted adb

None of the above worked, does anyone have any idea what this Unknown Device may be, and how I can get rid of it?

A: Alright, so I did a check for updates in android studio, and there was a minor update available. After installing the minor update, the problem went away - It must've been some bug in whatever Android Studio version I had.

Georgia gets 3-1 win against No. 7 South Carolina
Ryan Lawlor threw his third complete game of the season for Georgia.
ATHENS, Ga. -- In their first home game in nearly a month, the Bulldogs handed No. 7 South Carolina a 3-1 loss behind a complete game effort from sophomore Ryan Lawlor.
Lawlor and the Bulldogs (22-22-1, 8-13-1 SEC) held the Gamecocks (34-12, 12-10 SEC) to just three hits and a run in earning their fourth Southeastern Conference series-opening win of the season. The Georgia victory snapped a season-long eight-game losing streak, all on the road. Friday marked Georgia's first home game since April 12.
In his 12th start this season, Lawlor (4-4) earned the victory, facing only two batters over the minimum. The win also marked the third time this season, and third in his past four starts dating back to April 11, versus Tennessee that Lawlor has gone the distance. He struck out six and only allowed one Gamecock past second base. The home run he surrendered was just the second all season.
Jordan Montgomery (6-4) pitched well but got the loss going seven innings and allowing seven hits and three runs, only one of which was earned.
Offensively, the Bulldogs broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning. Conor Welton led off the inning with a base hit and advanced to second on Hunter Cole's groundout to first. Nelson Ward belted the ball to the deepest part of right-center field as the ball struck off the 365 numbers of the fence for a double and easily scoring Welton for a 1-0 edge.
Lawlor's only blip of the evening came in the top of the eighth inning when Gamecock catcher Grayson Greiner hit a solo shot over the left center field fence.
Georgia responded by reclaiming the lead with two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. With one out and runners on first and second, Welton hit a sharp grounder that the Gamecocks' second baseman Jordan Gore scooped up and flipped to shortstop and on an errant throw to first base, allowed freshman Mike Bell to score the go-ahead run. After Welton stole second, Cole hit a sharp single to right field, bringing in Georgia's third run.

AIG provides over $3 million for city civic centre repairs
by Lyle Adriano 02 Dec 2019
AIG provides over $3 million for city civic centre repairs | Insurance Business
AIG Canada will partially cover repairs made to a local civic centre in Elliot Lake, ON, whose city council originally chose not to have the building refurbished.
On February 21, 2019, a portion of the roof of the former Elliot Lake Lester B. Pearson Civic Centre caved in due to excessive snow and ice load. At the time of the collapse, there were only a handful of people inside. Fortunately, only one woman suffered injuries due to the collapse.
Elliot Lake council initially decided that the old building was derelict, and therefore not worth repairing. However, the city later chose to rebuild the real estate on the assumption that insurance would cover part of the construction funding.
The structure had been insured for $9 million in a municipality policy with AIG Canada.
Elliot Lake Today reported that this week, the city's budget committee will examine the cheque it has received from AIG, as well as an explanatory letter from a loss adjuster. Specifically, AIG has agreed to pay $3,493,693.90 for the damage.
Blair Boilard, senior loss adjuster for Crawford and Company, explained in his letter that the $3.4 million does not account for other costs related to the claim, such as stock and equipment, cost of moving the city-run venues to different locations, replacement of personal contents, and similar other expenses – which "will be addressed in due course."

Q: What is the possible reason that my R squared value equal to 1 I have one natural data set of biological data from my lab such as binding energy, exon type and oligo length etc. And my goal is to train a model to predict skipping rate. I used weka with no filter on my data and set the number of fold for cross-validation to be 10. (I have 515 instances in total) I used the greedy option of funciton LinearRegression. My summary gave me a model to predict the skipping rate with exon type ignored and meanwhile got perfect R^2 = 1 and F-stat equals infinity. I don't trust this results and I want to prove it's invalid. However, even if I manually divide my data into training and testing data sets with 2/3 portion, shuffling both of them and run classification with the same LinearRegression evaluation function, I still got R^2 = 1 and F-stat equals infinity. What could go wrong in my analysis?

A:
R^2 = 1 means you have a perfect fit of your data from a simple linear model. It's really hard to tell what's going on here without being familiar with your data. But from the output, it looks like your trying to predict a predicted value. If I'm understanding this correctly it sounds like you have a model that's modelling a modeled value. As long as the same model was used in both cases, that it would result in a perfect fit is clear.


I've been having a BIG crafting clear-out & reminiscing over some of the crafty purchases I've made over the years.
There are some seriously cringe-worthy items, lots of shamefully unused bits n' bobs and, I confess, enough papers to carpet the planet (with several layers).
The floral background was created with Majestix peg stamps.
Off to bundle everything up & to find it all a new, worthy home.

Over the Mediterranean basin we can occasionally observe intense cyclones showing tropical characteristics and known as Mediterranean Tropical-Like Cyclones (TLC). Previous studies focusing on past TLCs events have found that SST anomalies play a fundamental role in modulating the intense air-sea exchange of latent and sensible heat fluxes, hence controlling both development and evolution of TLCs. However, given the connection between ocean mixed layer, ocean heat content and temperature, it is important to explore also the role of the mixed layer depth (MLD). In this study we investigated the role of both SST, SST anomaly and MLD profile on genesis and evolution of a recent record-breaking TLC. Specifically, we focus on TCL "IANOS", a cyclone that originated over the southern Ionian Sea around 14 Sept 2020, moved over the Central Ionian Sea from south-west to North-East, and made landfall around 19 Sept 2020 over Greece mainland coast. It developed over a basin where a positive SST anomaly up to 4 °C was detected, which coincided with the sea area where it reached the maximum intensity. We conducted a series of experiments using an atmospheric model (WRF - Weather Research and Forecasting system) driven by underlying SST (standalone configuration) with daily update or coupled to a simple mixed-layer ocean model (SLAB ocean), with SST calculated at every time step using the SLAB ocean for a given value of the MLD. WRF was implemented with 3 km grid spacing, forced with ECMWF-IFS analysis (9 km resolution), while SST or MLD initialization, for standalone or coupled runs, respectively, are provided by the MFS-CMEMs Copernicus dataset at 4 km of horizontal resolution. For the studied TLC, the mean MLD is modified by increasing or decreasing its depth by 10 m, 30 m, 50 m, 75 m, 100 m, change the lapse rate ot MDL and studi the impacto of SST and anomaly present and estimated by climatological projections; the preliminary results show that the MLD influences not only the intensity of the cyclone but also the structure of the precipitation field both in terms of magnitude and location. At first the MLD thickness was characterized for the days in which the cyclone developed using ocean modeling data. Then we identified possible past and future climatological scenarios of MLD thickness. Starting from these data, we simulated the impact of the MLD, and consequently of the Ocean Heat Content, on the TLC. The preliminary results show that the MLD influences not only the intensity of the cyclone but also the structure of the precipitation field both in terms of magnitude and location. The results deserve further investigation in particular in the context of climate change scenarios.

Q: How to deal with [faq] questions whose top answer is obsolete but is a useful opinion piece? Consider a question like Do posts have to be in English on Stack Exchange?. It has the faq tag. Its top answer is for the most part an opinion piece.
This opinion piece is solely about Stack Overflow; it no longer applies now that the question has been moved to Meta Stack Exchange. It would do fine on Meta Stack Overflow.
What should we do? Some possibilities:

*

*Migrate the thread back to MSO – that's what I favor, but it was denied (and the question got a cosmetic edit changing "Stack Overflow" to "Stack Exchange" – which means that now none of the answers address the question).

*Post a new answer and declare it to be "the" answer. Easy, but insufficient: the top answer is what most visitors will see – the top answer should be the one that actually answers the question.

*Delete all the obsolete answers. But why would we delete a debate about SO? It's a perfectly legitimate debate, just out of place now.

*Edit the top answer. I'd have no problem with that if it was an obsolete statement of fact, but it's a still-relevant opinion piece.

A: I see no problem with that answer. It starts by stating a trilogy policy (it would be trivial to edit it to say Stack Exchange instead) and then carefully supports the policy with still-relevant opinion. I don't see that it's completely about SO at all. Why do you want to replace it? And what would you replace it with? I would support leaving it as it is or very lightly editing it to reflect current reality, including that not all the sites are programming sites (not removing the thing about most programming languages being in English, but just adding a caveat like on our programming-related sites, there is also the consideration that most programming languages are in English to lead off that paragraph.


By Judy Lacey – Are you looking for new and tasty recipes for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners? If your answer is an affirmative then you might like to try this old family favorite. My mother made this for our family every Thanksgiving and Christmas as did her mother and her grandmother. Truly a family tradition for generations! This recipe is easy with no cooking involved and requires only a food grinder (the heavy metal kind with the different size "plates" you screw on and then attach to the edge of a counter – very old kitchen tool but they are still available) or a food grinder attachment for your electric mixer (Kitchen Aid has an excellent one). You may be tempted to use your food processor but the end result is a bit smoother than desired due to the high speed of the processor. While cranberry relish is my "go to" with turkey, it complements other meats as well.
Place a mixing bowl under the food grinder, put cranberries into the top of grinder (you will need to do this several times) and turn machine on high. After you have completed grinding all of the cranberries, press sections of orange into the grinder and repeat process. This "order" helps to clean the machine of cranberries as it grinds the orange and releases the juices. Add sugar and orange rind reserve to the cranberries. Mix well. Spoon or pour into a large glass jar with tight fitting lid. Chill at least 24 hours before serving otherwise relish will be bitter. Keep refrigerated.
**This has to be one of the easiest recipes I have ever used so if you want to involve a grandchild, this would be a great time to enjoy making special memories.
**I normally double this recipe as it keeps well in the refrigerator for about 6 weeks thereby serving as a good accompaniment to both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. A great make-ahead recipe!

"You Are Criminalizing Diplomacy!" Professor Stephen Cohen Slams Neocon Max Boot In CNN Debate
Stephen Cohen schooled prominent 'Never Trump' neocon and Council on Foreign Relations member Max Boot on CNN's Anderson Cooper this week on the Trump-Putin Helsinki summit and general charges related to 'Russiagate'.
It's worth watching especially as it underscores why recognized academic experts are rarely given airtime on the mainstream networks if their perspective lies outside the accepted media group-think on Russia.
"I've been studying Russia for 45 years," Professor Stephen Cohen said as the debate got heated. "I've lived in Russia, and I've lived here."
But predictably Boot cut him off, leveling the standard ad hominem that's become the standard fallback retort to any 'contrarian' analysis, saying Cohen has been "consistently an apologist for Russia those 45 years."
"I don't do defamation of people, I do serious analysis of serious national security problems," Professor Cohen responded. "When people like you call people like me, and not only me, but people more eminent than me, apologists for Russia because we don't agree with your analysis, you are criminalizing diplomacy and detente and you are the threat to American national security, end of story."
"Why do you have to defame somebody you don't agree with?" Cohen continued. "They used to do that in the old Soviet Union."
Cohen's credentials as professor emeritus at Princeton and New York University, author of numerous books on Russian history, and among the world's most recognized analysts on modern Russia are without parallel when compared to the usual neocon 'experts' like Boot, who regularly appear on the network panels and in the op-ed columns.
Cohen said he doesn't find anything "unusual" about the Helsinki summit — especially nothing worth the level of broad 24/7 media push back that Trump's private meeting with Putin received. Cohen and Boot sparred over what exactly the two leaders may have discussed, including possibly a resolution related to Russia's annexation of the Crimea.
Anderson Cooper posed the following question with an incredulous look on his face: "You're believing Vladimir Putin on this?"
Cohen responded, "You have to take Putin's word this is what they talked about," and added, "I don't want to shock you, but I believe Vladimir Putin on several things."
Of course this was too much for the Cooper and Boot — the latter which promptly charged Cohen with being a "Putin apologist".
Wow Stephen Cohen makes warmonger @MaxBoot look like a whining infant in CNN debate on "Russian attack" https://t.co/VICfIn0as9
— Abby Martin (@AbbyMartin) July 31, 2018
Boot said elsewhere in the interview that "a lot of intelligence officials think that there is something highly suspect in the relationship between Putin and Trump" based merely on the supposed unwillingness of Trump to level personal criticism against the Russian leader the he does others.
Cohen responded, "I have no idea what Mr. Boot is talking about... He wants Trump to threaten Russia? Why would we threaten Russia?"
Boot followed with, "Because they're attacking us, Professor Cohen. Russia is attacking us right now according to Trump's own director of national intelligence."
After an intense back-and-forth in which Boot again lazily accused the scholar of being a Putin apologist, Cohen concluded, "I think that Mr Boot would have been happy if Trump had waterboarded Putin at the summit and made him confess." He said, "Trump carried out an act of diplomacy fully consistent with the history of American presidency. Let us see what comes out of it, then judge."
Professor Cohen has a history of challenging powerful media figures, which is why his appearances on networks like CNN or MSNBC are very infrequent, despite his status as a world authority.
For example at the height of the 2014 Ukraine crisis he made Christiane Amanpour so frazzled that she began yelling antagonistically for show host Wolf Blitzer "to be very careful" in allowing what she called "pro-Russian" views to be expressed across CNN airwaves.

The DCCC stepped up Medicare-centric campaigning Monday, launching the Medicare Action Center, DontEndMedicare.com. The website provides information on GOP town hall meetings and a stirring graphic comparing proposed GOP Medicare cuts ($165 million) to the amount of money lost on oil subsidies, offshoring, and tax breaks for the wealthy ($175 billion). You can also print out your very own protest sign, which reads, "Vote Republican, End Medicare."
It's a forceful message. The problem is that it's not quite true. Of course, a more nuanced slogan like, "Vote Republican, precipitate a restructuring of Medicare that would cost seniors a lot more money" would be a less effective rallying cry. However, the DCCC's current Medicare message unnecessarily opens them to criticism.
The CBO [Congreesional Budget Office] estimates beneficiaries would contribute about $6,150 in premiums in 2022 if the program isn't changed at all. So the extra money seniors need to pay under the Republican proposal is more like $6,350.
And it is worth emphasizing that it is future Medicare beneficiaries, not current participants, who would bare the brunt of Ryan's prpoposals were they to become law. Much of the DCCC's messaging suggests that it is current seniors who will be punished (in the above video, a teenager watches over an elderly man as he mows the lawn; it is the teenager, however, who should be more worried about Republican proposals).
Both Republicans and Democrats would no doubt agree that Ryan's plan for Medicare is a dramatic change of course. But we don't agree with the ad's contention that the proposal ends Medicare. Additionally, images in the ad imply that current seniors will have to go back to work to pay for changes to the program. That's not true either. It's actually those 54 and younger who will need extra money.
Ryan's proposal would replace the current Medicare system with a federally subsidized private program. And it will cost seniors a lot of money. As President Barack Obama said, the Republican plan "ends Medicare as we know it." But the "as we know it" is crucial. A Democratic campaign focused on Republicans choosing to end Medicare -- when the Republicans would still maintain a program at least called Medicare -- is just asking to be ripped apart in the war of words that is campaign politics.

Q: counting all characters in a string except for the vowels and punctuations im making this program wherein it takes a string as an input, and then prints the number of characters in the string where it is not one of the following: a vowel and punctuation marks. i want it to use list comprehension. i know how to exclude vowels, but i dont know how to do it for punctuations and i get an error:
UnboundLocalError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-41-ac1f245059d7> in <module>
      2 punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
      3 stri = input("Enter a string: ")
----> 4 print("Count:", len([letter for letter in stri if letter not in vowels and punctuation for punctuation in stri if punctuation not in punctuations]))

<ipython-input-41-ac1f245059d7> in <listcomp>(.0)
      2 punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
      3 stri = input("Enter a string: ")
----> 4 print("Count:", len([letter for letter in stri if letter not in vowels and punctuation for punctuation in stri if punctuation not in punctuations]))

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'punctuation' referenced before assignment

this is my code:
`vowels = ['A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'a','e','i','o','u']
punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
stri = input("Enter a string: ")
print("Count:", len([letter for letter in stri if letter not in vowels and punctuation for punctuation in stri if punctuation not in punctuations]))`

My vowel part is correct:
`len([letter for letter in stri if letter not in vowels`

but how should i do the punctuation marks?
something like this should be the output:
Enter a string: Coding!
Count: 4

(4 because only c,d,n,g were counted because o,i,! are vowels/punctuation marks.)

A: vowels = ['A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'a','e','i','o','u']
punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
stri = input("Enter a string: ")
[x for x in stri if x not in (*vowels,*punctuations)]
print(len([x for x in stri if x not in (*vowels,*punctuations)]))

A: You can do multiple things;

*

*Make a list not_allowed = vowels.extend(punctuations) and then look in that

n_chars = len([letter for letter in stri if letter not in not_allowed])

*If you have to use the two lists

punctuation = list(punctuation)
n_chars = len([letter for letter in stri if (letter not in vowels and letter not in punctuation)]))`

*Use the answer from "God is One" (best idea)

A: import string
vowels = list("AEIOUaeiou")
s = list(input("Enter a string: "))
print(f'count: {len([letter for letter in s if letter not in vowels and letter not in list(string.punctuation)])}')

I figured while I had all the Halloween supplies out I may as well keep on working and get ahead for the holiday.
Can anyone tell I love Halloween??
Materials I used for the cards…..
Papers from My Mind's Eye and some from the stash.
Loads of buttons chipboard and brads.
I've listed these in the etsy shop. Click o the link to check out the details.
Wow…okay…so that was a lot of pictures I will say I am so dedicated that I worked through rainstorms and power outages to get these done before I left the shop.
Papers from My Mind's Eye, Crate, and Pink Paislee.
Hope you all enjoyed this extra long post lol. It's funny just a few minutes ago a customer came into the shop and saw my work table and asked we had a party in here last night. Oh my…guess I better get to cleaning before I start any new projects!!!
For this card I ran a sheet through and printed a background…then back through again to print the dress form. It looks a bit like a piece from an ephemera set I think.
For this projects I used…..
Vintage images from Graphic's Fairy.
Ribbon and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Paper from My Mind's Eye and Crate.
Assorted buttons and handmade flowers.
I'm enjoying myself a nice cup of Traverse City cherry coffee and listening to the rain on the roof here at the shop. Thank goodness…we have needed the rain so desperately.
I was pretty preoccupied yesterday working on my project for the guest DT spot. I can not wait to share it with you. Unfortunately we'll have to wait until next month lol. Until then….I do have another sweet birthday card to share.
These little kiddos are too adorable!
For this card I used ….
Seam binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Paper from My Minds Eye and Crate.
Assorted vintage images…buttons, pompoms, and rubon sentiments.
Walnut Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.
Okay…looking forward to finishing up some "worky" stuff…then back to playing paper. Hopefully I will be productive after being tired from staying out late to watch the new Batman movie on our Family Fun Date last night. I give it 4 out of 5 stars by the way lol.
My Sweetie brought in the mail when he came home from work yesterday and GUESS WHAT I GOT????
My order from Really Reasonable Ribbon : ) Yayy Woo Hoo.
Good thing I didn't know it was there earlier…or I would have never gotten any work done heehee.
So that's like 120 yards+ the Purple August ribbon club assortment and 30 bitty bags. I AM SWOONING. I get to add this to my already large selection I have from RRR of my favorite seam binding for cards and projects. I'll be taking this to the shop today and hopefully I won't have to fight off Jane for them haha.
I choose a few burlap, a few lace, many seam binding, some wrinkle ribbon, chevron, twine, Halloween, bitty bags ( can't wait to use those), netting, ruffles, and the ribbon club assortment that I will be using for one of my Guest Design Team posts.
If you haven't had a chance to check them out ….you will be pleasantly surprised at how great their prices are…and huge selection. They ship the same or next day…I was surprised at how quickly my order arrived.
Okay…off to get ready to run to the post office then work. I'll be in a big ol happy camper ribbon pile before you know it! Hope you all have a wonderful day and find some time to be creative.
Just popping in to share some sweet birthday cards I created in the shop yesterday.
This chipper and cheerful retro styled card has loads of paper layers and vintage images.
I used papers from My Mind's Eye and Pink Pailsee. The banner with buttons makes for a festive detail. I've also included a double layer of tags to the bow I created with RRR seam binding.
I was able to add a rubon birthday sentiment to the top and tag. A double layer of stitching for fun.
A nice poofy bow…large dimensional flower and vintage buttons on burlap are nice neutral accents.
Another rubon with a script sentiment and a paper lace edge to finish off the pretty card.
Can't stay to chat…getting caught up on house work . Hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy some time to be creative.
I was a busy little bee in the shop yesterday. I finished 3 lovely cards and got all the "grown up" work done too!
This card has papers from Graphic 45 and a die cut element from Glitz.
I'm getting pretty quick at making these burlap flowers. I added 2 leaf headed pins from Maya Road and a generous poofy bow made from RRR seam binding. Pearls top off the flowers….nice change from buttons.
I added a bit of twine to the dimensional tag sticker…then layered it over several vintage images. The post card is from Graphic's Fairy. There's also a Maya Road tiny craft envelope and of course more burlap. I stitched up all the layers for detail.
Isn't this card sweet? I love the colors. The paper is from Glitz as well as the die cut.
Poofy bow with button. I added a lovely doily and inked up all the layers.
This Graphic Fairy image is a nice contrast to the brighter colors of the rest of the card.
I took a little trip to carzytown with all these layers. This paper is from Pink Paislee.
I like the look of the poofy ribbon bow squished in between the burlap flowers. Isn't that a pretty brad??
See I told you there was a lot of layers. I added these sweet mismatched buttons and that was all the embellishing this card could take without getting too busy.
Hope you all have a wonderful day and find some time to be creative.
I just listed these cards in the Etsy shop. Click on the link to check out the details.

We worship this earth, we worship those heavens: we worship those good things which stand between the earth and the heavens and that are worthy of sacrifice and prayer, and are to be worshiped by the faithful man. We worship the souls of the wild beasts and the tame. We worship the souls of the holy men and women, born at any time, whose consciences struggle, or will struggle, or have struggled, for the good.
While "worship" or "faithful" or "holy" or "sacrifice" and "prayer" are typical terms as applied by the formalized, totalitarian religions as a means to keep the great unwashed under their thumb, they can stand perfectly on their own without reference to a 3rd party – an imaginary deity of sorts, i.e., God – by applying them to the way in which we pursue the truth about ourselves.
That is, we pursue these truths faithfully, for their own sake, and without coercion from anyone, and to the benefit of all mankind. And what we will find is the good inherent in all of us, and it is this truth that is "holy" and should be "worshiped" in the sense that we will put this above everything else that we treasure about life in the world.
By "sacrifice" we might well have to be less selfish than usual on occasion, in order to put the greater good ahead of ourselves. And by "prayer" we need to do nothing more than express the hope and belief in ourselves that we are here for the right reasons, which is to realize the common good in ourselves as we rise to our full potential as human beings.
I can't claim to have any special insight here, but it seems to me that, first of all, it makes sense to pursue the things that benefit us most as a species, and not look at sacrificing some individuals to the betterment of others as a means to advance the human race as a whole. This has to be a fundamental truth about ourselves, but sadly, the sum of human history to date shows primarily the exploitation and slaughter of the many to benefit the few. And if this proves anything all, it is that the formalized religions have been absolutely no help at all to the betterment of humanity, and in fact can be seen as the instigators – and in many cases the perpetrators – of much of the murder and mayhem that has befallen the many people of this earth for reasons that make no sense at all.
And so, yes, we can get there without religious totalitarianism, or the need to be murdered or murder for them, and especially without the Islamic religion in its most virulent and primitive form, and which uses its ancient tribal laws – known as Shariah law – in an inhumane and brutal manner in order to keep its adherents in line. Clearly, life has no value there, when it is so easily denigrated or even dispensed with in order to prevent dissent. I'm referring to caning people in public, hacking off hands and stoning people to death … Barbaric acts that have no place in a society that values the sanctity of life. I guess that happens in communities where folks are absolutely not allowed to think for themselves and must accept some ancient doctrines "on faith", or else ….
Of course, all this coercion in the name of a 'higher" authority has nothing to do with achieving some mystical purpose or aspiration involving a god, creation or eternity, or whatever else a religion might be about. In the end this is all about the few having the means to control the many in everyday life, and where women and girls are devalued to the level of cattle, to be used and abused at will because it is their duty to comply. How much more morally and ethically backward – or primitive – can you get? Clearly, no effort towards the greater good is happening here.

Inspired by a past landscape of the Chatsworth Estate, this conceptual garden echoes a 'lost' village that once stood in the shadow of Chatsworth House before being removed to make way for Capability Brown's famous landscape. The planting references the indigenous landscape combining native plants with decorative varieties introduced in later years.
Sponsored by Brewin Dolphin, this garden affirmation from the public with The People's Award for Installation at RHS Chatsworth Flower Show. We supplied Elveden Instant Beech Hedge for this garden.
The garden focuses on using natural materials to create a more peaceful area to live in the garden. With an emphasis on recycling and reusing materials, this garden caters for a family, the garden is divided into sections by sliding barn doors. At the rear of the garden there is a dedicated play area with rope swing and playhouse, meanwhile, parents can entertain in the free-form concrete seating and dining area or relax in a quiet corner.
This garden was awarded a Gold Medal by the judges at the BBC Gardeners' World Live. We supplied Practical Instant Native Mix Hedge for this garden.
At RHS Hampton Court, we are supported three out of the four Lifestyle Gardens, as well as a trade exhibit.
Practicality Brown have a full page editorial feature in the January 2017 edition of industry publication, Pro Landscaper in their Nursery Factfile section.
We used an instant hedge from Practicality Brown for our RHS Hampton Court garden this year. I had struggled to find what I was looking for with other suppliers and Practicality Brown was extremely helpful and accommodating. It found what I wanted and sent me photos prior to delivery as I was not able to visit to hand pick them. I have specified its hedging on other projects which has always been good quality.
I have loved working with Practicality Brown over the years because I know it offers sturdy field grown stock, including the lovely mixed native hedging that I recently ordered for RHS Chelsea. The other great thing about ordering is the service, which is always friendly and helpful. Its cliché but really nothing is too much trouble.
The RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2016 has showcased more stunning garden designs this year, made all the more challenging to create due to the unseasonal weather. Practicality Brown are proud to have contributed to the following medal-winning gardens, for which we provided Elveden Instant Hedge, Elements and hedging plants.

Q: Get auto brightness value and auto lock time value Hi  i'm trying to get 2 value from iOS device,it doesn't really matter what OS version is it.
I need to get if the device's auto brightness is enabled/disabled and the second value of the auto lock screen.
I read over the internet that it is not possible to get these values with public APIs but I want to know if there any way to get these values private API or any other framework,anything which isn't jailbreak or something like that because the app won't be upload to App-store anyway,just for a group of people use.


Experimental projects are available in which microscale liquid dynamics are of interest and high-speed photography is an important tool. Suitable topics include drop impact experiments and capillary uptake of drops. A project could also focus on development of image analysis techniques. Suitable for students from any quantitative science or engineering backgrounds.
Project(s) will develop and use computational and/or theoretical models in the fields of (i) nanofluidics or (ii) active matter. In nanofluidics, liquids are confined to spaces on nanometre length scales. Modelling will be used to guide experimentalists working with nanopores and nanopipettes. Active matter involves collections of interacting, moving particles such as swarms and flocks. Here, the system to be studied is a large collection of asymmetric 'Janus' nanoparticles. Especially suitable for students with some computational / numerical experience.
Clouds are the largest source of uncertainty in climate models' prediction of global climate change. This project will analyse numerical simulations using state-of-the-art models of the climate system to study the changes in clouds and the impact of cloud changes on Earth's global energy budget, hydrological cycle, and atmospheric circulation. Mathematical skills, numerical modelling experience (python, fortran, etc.), and knowledge of the physical processes relevant for climate (such as geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric radiation and convection, and cloud microphysics) are highly desirable.


It's not really about guns, or free speech or search warrants. It's about the question of how do you reach people who honestly express the opinion that they simply do not see the Constitution the way we do?
At the same time, what happened along the way? How did we go from the quality of leadership as defined by the Founding generation to the leadership qualities we see in our political candidates today?

Designs Chosen for Gay Wedding Chapels to 'Pop Up' in Central Park This Saturday: RENDERINGS
Designs have been chosen from a competition for two "Pop-Up" chapels that will be constructed at Merchants' Gate near 59th Street in Central Park this Saturday. 24 gay and lesbian couples have been selected to marry in them. Pop Up Chapel begins at 10 am.
Architizer, which sponsored the competition with The Knot, writes about the winning entries:
Z-A Studio's "KISS" is a tulip-like volume, comprised of gently caressing waves of stacked recycled honeycomb cardboard. The ensemble is supported by a plywood base, while all materials will be affixed using common wood glue. The architects suggest that the union of the two delicate forms creates a "stable entity, that is more than the sum of its parts"–an apt description of marriage, we think. When abstracted the same sentiment speaks to the nature of architectonics and space, which, perhaps, is only made present by the joining of constituencies. The formal motif can also be extended to other parts of the site, with curving tables and benches accommodating guests and other couples. We also loved the architect's adorable send off: "Give KISS a chance!"
ICRAVE's Pop Up Chapel is an effervescent cascade of hanging ribbons which sets a colorful backdrop to the day's happy proceedings. The chapel's form is a metal frame covered with white ribbon, whose ceiling is a lightweight wire mesh to which vibrant, multicolored ribbons are fastened. The ribbons vary in length and are patterned to create a parabola-shaped interior gathering space, under which will the nuptials will take place. When the day has passed, the ribbons will be handed out to the married couples as keepsakes. All we can say is, "Yay!"
More at Architizer…
City Room wrote about the chapels and event:
According to the rules of the contest, designs must be installed in no more than two hours, and have a footprint no larger than 8 feet by 8 feet. A jury of architects and wedding planners will select two winning submissions, whose designers will receive $3,000 for construction and installation.
The 24 gay couples — 24, for June 24, the date the law was passed — were chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the parks department has agreed to allow the chapels at the Merchants' Gate plaza, near West 59th Street.

Q: Mac OSX - Use two network connections to the Internet On my Mac Mini Mountain running Mountain Lion 10.8 I have two network connections to the Internet. One connection, the one currently being used by this very Safari browsing session, is also very busy uploading large files, hence using almost all the available bandwidth, anything else I try to do at the moment that requires web access takes ages. I cannot stop this file upload process, or would very much rather not.
So, I have also hooked up my phone via usb cable and activated its usb hotspot functionality, which I have used in the past and know to work like a charm.
My question is: how do I get another program, such as VMWare Fusion or another Safari session, to use the usb hotspot to connect to the Internet?
Thanks for any help,
Joe


I love being a blogger on social media because I get to try some of the coolest products and plants. This past spring, Burpee's product selection team sent me a sample of their new Cupcake Summer Squash, an innovative hybrid of a zucchini and a squash. It has been a fun experience seeing it grow through the late spring and summer. The plant had been growing early on in a container in the dome and by mid-June I moved it to the raised bed in the dome growing directly in the soil where it would get a consistent watering. The beautiful plant has loads of flowers and I'm anxiously waiting to cook up Cupcake's sweet flavor and soft skin makes for easy and tasty preparation.
My plant is taking its time to produce I think mainly because I've had the plant growing in 2 different locations over the past 2 months and I'm also new to growing in the dome during the summer months. My friend Katie sent me some photos of her plant a one of the harvest that is featured below.
Cupcake squash is new this year and growing in the dome.
With it's large, trailing plant yields dozens of round, green squash this is a recipe that can be served at the next dinner party. The veggie is a sweet flavor with zucchini's soft skin.
Slice off the top third portion of each squash. Scoop out the seeds.
Steam lower portions cut side down and tops cut side up for about 5 mins.
Remove tops and continue steaming squash bowls for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Do not overcook. Mix remaining ingredients.
Add flesh of three tops and reserve 1 tablespoon of breadbrumbs.
Fill squash bowls with mixture and sprinkle with reserved breadcrumbs.
This is most likely the easiest vegetable to grow in most any home garden. With this variety, you get a few squashes ready to use at one time on a somewhat medium size plant. In the video below watch details on how they plant grows and will introduce you to some great recipes to use with this squash.
I'm excited to share that Burpee's Cupcake Squash will be available in stores for 2017 which is great news because I can't wait to grow this variety again!
[alert-warning]Are you a fan of squash? Do you grow your own? I would love to hear from you so please comment in the space below so we can connect.
I bought a couple of plants from my neighborhood Lowes and they are looking amazing. I have several squash and I can't wait to stuff them with seafood. The plants and the flowers they produce are beautiful to look at as well.
Super yummy recipe… I can't wait to try this with other varieties as well. I will keep you posted. Thank you for stopping by my site.
I'm wondering if I mix in some crab meat what it'd taste like? I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it tastes.
sound amazing… YES!!!! Stop back and tell me how it tastes.
We did that. It's awesome!
Thank you for sharing this with me Ginger!
These are amazing squash! The prolifically produce and root themselves wherever they touch the ground. Thus if part of the plant gets attacked by squash "vermin" the rest of the plant will carry on! These little squash are great for grilling. Just brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.. Yummy! I use them for squash casseroles too…superb! My yellow squash and zucchini gave up a while back, but these little angels are still producing!
Thank you for sharing this information with me Donna.

Investors are always seeking the secret weapon to help them achieve life-changing gains.
You can search forever for new strategies, but the truth the best system to find these types of gains is right in front of you.
We're talking about the Money Morning Stock VQScore™.
Derived from our proprietary valuation system, the VQScore offers you a distinct advantage when you buy (or sell) a stock. It finds the stocks that are priced to get you the biggest returns.
For income-hungry investors, we've narrowed down the list to the three best dividend stocks to buy in February 2019.
Best Dividend Stocks to Buy, No. 3: AbbVie Inc.
Some of the top biotech stocks are off sharply from their 12-month highs right now. And that's presenting us with an excellent buying opportunity.
Global economic uncertainty, China woes, and rising geopolitical tensions have all weighed on demand for biotechs. So too are the prospects of drug price cuts and rising competition from generics.
We have one goal: to make investing profitable.
While news pundits worried about volatility and trade wars, our readers had the chance to bank gains of 333%, 444%, and even 478% in 2018.
Now, we're bringing you 18 ways to bank even more profits in 2019.
Abbvie Inc. (NYSE: ABV) stock has fallen more than 40% from its 2018 high. The key factor has been fears about the launch of biosimilars in Europe that target its top-selling drug Humira. Recent forecasts suggest that the financial growth for Humira is stalling. However, Humira should not face biosimilar competition in the United States until 2023.
AbbVie is a "dividend aristocrat" that pays a dividend of 5.31% and trades at an enterprise-to-EBIT value of 14.6.
According to Yahoo Finance, ABBV has a one-year price target of $95.76. That figure represents upside of 23.4% from Tuesday's opening price.
Combine that upside, that dividend, and our highest VQScore, and we have a winning stock for the year ahead.
Best Dividend Stock to Buy, No. 2: AT&T Inc.
Wall Street has rightfully been bearish on telecom stocks after the sharp downturn we've seen in this space. One of the weakest performers over the last year has been AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), whose shares recently fell below $30 for the first time in six years.
But this dividend aristocrat has presented a solid yield to accompany a lot of potential in the coming years. AT&T is set to become one of the first major players in the 5G wireless space, which will be vital to the next industrial revolution through the Internet of Things.
The company has one of the most reliable dividends in the business at 6.7%. Given that the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to hold off on raising rates at a time that economic growth appears sluggish, we can anticipate investors will pour into reliable stocks with great cash flow. AT&T sits at the top of the list.
AT&T has a one-year price target of $34.32 per share, a figure that represents upside of 11.9% from Tuesday's opening price. But given AT&T's high VQScore, we're looking at a firm that is ready to break out over the next 12 months.
Best Dividend Stock to Buy, No. 1: BP Plc.
The late 2018 oil price decline weighed heavily on exploration and production companies around the globe.
American investors tend to focus on WTI oil prices, which trade at a discount to the denser Brent crude. With Venezuela's production now facing sanctions and OPEC still looking for ways to cut output, we're looking at Brent oil prices to remain locked in the $55 to $60 per barrel range despite concerns about the global economy.
BP Plc. (NYSE: BP) is adopting artificial intelligence to increase its exploration activities while expanding investments into alternative energy systems of the future. Bringing more oil reserves onto its balance sheet will help bolster the stock price, while newer alternative projects like charging stations in China will help the company address long-term challenges and pressures from politicians looking to address climate change.
The one-year price target for BP stock sits at $48.77 per share. That represents 23.3% upside from Tuesday's opening price.
The triple threat of this upside, a 6.1% dividend, and a high VQScore suggest that we could see upwards of 40% returns if we include dividend reinvestment. BP is a stock poised to break out should oil prices find additional support.
Right now, even with all the market uncertainty, there's truly a ridiculous amount of money to be made from stocks if you follow this secret.
We're talking about gains like 663%… 628%… even 818%.
This method is unique in the entire history of investing – and for a limited time, you can learn how to use it for yourself and have an opportunity to hit as many peak gains as possible right away.


With St. Patrick's Day approaching we see shades of green while celebrating leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter. We come together merrymaking with good friends – and sometimes green libations!
That being said, there is no better time to come together for an exciting St. Patrick's challenge featuring the Center's director, Patrick Craven!
Given his name, we (Center staff) are putting fate in your heart and hands – plus some Luck o' the Irish – to raise funds towards our mission of providing cyber safety resources for children, parents and senior citizens: the St. Patrick's Cyber Challenge.
Reach $1,000 Goal – Pat Craven will wear a bright-green suit for the entire day!
Reach $3,000 Goal – Pat & the Center staff will color their hair GREEN!
Beginning 2/17, donate $2.17 to the St. Patrick's Cyber Challenge. WHY such a small number you ask? Because that's how little it takes to provide cyber safety education for one child! With $3,000, the Center will provide cyber safety education to 1,382 children!
MATCH: Board of Trustees Chairman, Greg Thompson, has agreed to MATCH the donation IF we raise $3,000, bringing it to a total of $6,000 raised!!
It only takes a second, and the only thing you'll need to lift is a finger.


The recent report from the Fordham Institute, 'The Costs of Online Learning' suggests that full-time virtual classrooms cost an average of $6,400 per pupil, compared with the average cost at traditional schools of $10,000.
Ultimately, a focus on productivity, with equal and joined emphasis on costs and outcomes, will ensure that all forms of online learning help us to improve outcomes for schoolchildren while working within the financial realities of this economic period.
The derivation of the original figures quoted in the report is also challenged. While King refers to the use of an estimate from the National Center for Education Statistics' Digest of Education Statistics as 'reasonable' to assess a ballpark figure for the cost of traditional schools, she does note many concerns in its use in a comparison with the costs of online schooling.
First, the national estimate includes schools already using various forms of educational technology, which may bias the figure upwards. Second, the Digest's average per-pupil expenditure figure includes special education students, English language learners, and other "high cost" student groups who may not be well served by the online learning models included in this analysis.

error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector

Что вы можете сказать по этому поводу?

A: В код не вчитывался, но сразу бросается в глаза, что вы неправильно обращаетесь к члену-массиву структуры: wrong[i].P - неправильно, нужно так: wrong.P[i]
А вашем случае получается, что вы обращаетесь к полю P экземпляра массива wrong. Если бы у вас было что-то, вроде:
struct residue
{
  float P;
};
...
struct residue wrong[SIZE];
...
wrong[i].P = <value>;

то ваша запись была бы верна.

ANA chopper mistakenly drops ammo, food to militants
admin November 7, 2016	Latest Updates, Nation Leave a comment 69 Views
AT Monitoring Desk-KABUL: Gen. Abdul Raziq, police chief for southern Kandahar province, on Monday said the army helicopters "mistakenly" drooped ammunition and foodstuff in a Taliban-controlled area in Uruzgan province.
Gen. Raziq who is now leading operation against insurgents in Uruzgan province, said that the ammunition were drooped mistakenly due to bad weather. "Bullets drip was not intentionally to the Taliban area."
A day earlier, the Gizab district chief, Haji Khoshal, said the army helicopters dropped thousands of bullets to Taliban insurgents in the district.
"The ammunition included around 25,000 Kalashnikov machineguns and bullets," Khoshal added.
Uruzgan province has six districts, of which four of them are in militants' control, where fighting between Afghan security forces and insurgents are currently underway.
Recently, at least thirty-two Taliban insurgents including their two key commanders were killed and more than 31 other wounded during a clearing operation carried out by the Afghan security forces in the southern Uruzgan province.
Previously, Police Chief Brig. Gen. Wali Jan Sarhadi said that Srashkhel and Wano localities had been cleared of rebels during the offensive. However, he said that one policeman was also killed during offensive. Moreover, he said that security force were captured two tanks from the Taliban during a clash.
According to a statement from Gen. Raziq, the Taliban insurgents repeatedly carried out attack against security post in Gizab district. "Currently, heavy clashes underway there."
"The Afghan forces in the district had run out of bullets and food and the ANA helicopters loaded with ammunition and food on Saturday night started their journey to Gizab district despite bad weather condition," he added.
He furthered that only one helicopter dropped supplies to the Taliban area, and that was due to bad weather. "Leaving the one, others drooped supplies in the targeted areas."
"When needed, I am ready to go to Gizab district and fight against insurgents," he said.
It is worth mentioning that the recent clashes in Uruzgan province have left thousands of families internally displaced. The internally displaced families have fled to the neighboring provinces. It has been reported that around 6,000 families have fled to neighboring Kandahar province.

Affection is responsible for nine tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
Affection is to love, what water is to life.
Tokens of affection ease the wariness of life.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power or success the world will know peace.
Everyone needs affection, to feel wanted, to be bathed in hugs, kisses, touches or even just a hand to hold. People just need to know that others care.
