Northwestern 20, Ohio State 13: halftime thoughts

Share All sharing options for: Northwestern 20, Ohio State 13: halftime thoughts
Two quarters into one of the biggest games in Northwestern history, the Wildcats lead AP No. 4 Ohio State, 20-13. Here are some brief thoughts from a hotly contested first half.
-- On its first drive, an eight-play, 65-yard sequence, Ohio State physically dominated Northwestern along the line of scrimmage. Big holes were opened up, receivers were allowed far too much room, and Braxton Miller picked apart Northwestern's defense with a series of short passes. The Wildcats held firm in the redzone, and Ohio State settled for a field goal
-- After a short drive that stalled around midfield, Northwestern punted. Two plays later, Tyler Scott stripped Miller and recovered in Ohio State territory. The Wildcats capitalized on favorable field position when Trevor Siemian, quarterback 1B, fired a nine-yard dart to Kain Colter, quarterback 1A, who was doubling as a receiver.
-- With a 7-3 lead in hand, Northwestern relinquished its momentum with an uncharacteristic special teams breakdown. Ohio State corner Bradley Roby clobbered punter Brandon Williams in the end zone, and the Buckeyes recovered for a touchdown. The Scott strip sack and ensuing touchdown had seemingly been canceled out by Ohio State's special teams touchdown.
-- It wasn't long before Colter found himself in the endzone again, this time as a runner, the end of a 10-play, 75-yard drive. Colter's two-yard plunge gave Northwestern a 14-10 lead, but Ohio State responded with a long (12 plays) drive reminiscent of the one that opened the game. The end result was the same: Ohio State finished with a field goal. Northwestern responded with a long drive of its own, but was held up near the Buckeyes' goal line and kicked a field goal to go up 17-13. After stuffing Ohio State on a fake punt, Northwestern drove for another field goal. The half came to a close after redshirt freshman Ifeadi Odenigbo hit Miller's arm during a throw, which landed in the arms of linebacker Chi-Chi Ariguzo.
-- The Wildcats, to the surprise of virtually no one, appear to be at a physical disadvantage along the line of scrimmage, but their disciplined, sound, instinctive play – coupled with Ohio State's inability to finish drives with touchdowns – has allowed them to stake a halftime lead. Ohio State is more talented and athletic, but Northwestern (cliché alert) plays well to its schemes and minimizes mistakes.
-- It's hard not to be impressed with offensive coordinator Mick McCall's gameplan. Northwestern's ability to use different schemes and formations to attack Ohio State from a variety of angles has fazed the Buckeyes on several occasions. Most Northwestern media members expected Colter to see time at wide receiver, but lining up Mark – in his first game back – at wideout was an interesting twist. The frequent use of Dan Vitale at H-back was another effective strategic tweak.
-- If there's one major concern after the first half for Northwestern's defense, it's the cornerbacks, which continue to give OSU's wide receiver too big a cushion at the line of scrimmage. Of course, playing conservatively, rather than pressing in close coverage, typically limits big plays, but Miller has, in certain instances (particularly the first drive of the game), found open receivers for intermediate completions.
-- Oh, and in case you weren't sure, Mark is back. His second-quarter trucking of senior safety C.J. Barnett was proof enough.


If you're looking for something a bit different with your next city break, perhaps something a little more adventurous, then Innsbruck comes highly recommended. Known as the Capital of the Alps, it's an alpine-urban, sporty, dynamic and cosmopolitan place with a huge dollop of tradition and charm.
The fifth largest city in Austria and located in a broad valley surrounded by stunning high mountains, Innsbruck is renowned for its winter sports – it hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, as well as the 1984 and 1988 Winter Paralympics.
It's home to lots of interesting museums including its own Audioversum, an interactive science centre around hearing, and the Museum of Tyrolean Folk Art – which includes arts and crafts, religious folk art and festive costumes of Tirol's past. There's even Grassmayr Glockenmuseum where you can learn more about the Grassmayr family's 400 years of bell-making and, rather wonderfully, can have a go at ringing a few bells yourself.
It also has unique mountain trams, views to die for from everywhere you look and some of the most beautiful old architecture in the world. This is certainly where you can get your city culture and your outdoor adventure fix, all in one hit. Read on to discover more about the capital city of Tirol in western Austria.
For those of you who love to ski or snowboard in winter, or hike and cycle in summer, we suggest splitting your break in two – staying up in the mountains for the first leg of your trip and finishing up in Innsbruck itself.
For great value for money, we suggest the 4* Hotel Mooshaus in Kühtai. A night's stay costs from €103 pp (two sharing) and includes access to an Endless Sky Pool – a beautiful infinity pool that looks out across the surrounding snow-capped mountains. A day's lift pass in Kühtai costs from €25 per adult and €15.50 per child – not bad for the Capital of the Alps.
Then, when you're ready to go back down the mountain, the aDLERS Hotel in Innsbruck costs from €67.50 per person (two sharing) per night. A contemporary hotel and considered to be the city's latest hotspot, you can sip a cocktail and enjoy a panoramic view from its 12th-floor bar, watching the sunset over Innsbruck.
You could also try Nala, a charming boutique hotel in a quiet neighbourhood of Innsbruck. Every room is unique and we especially love the cute bar on the ground floor.
Before you do anything else, grab yourself a 24-hour Innsbruck Card, which costs from €39 each. Other cards available cover 48 or 72 hours. It'll give you access to loads of stuff for free or offer generous discounts.
Start your adventure by exploring Innsbruck's old town. It's over 800 years old and home to many sights and attractions that reflect the city's colourful history. The Golden Roof, for example, was where Emperor Maximilian I watched jousting tournaments during his day – its museum is definitely worth a visit. Or there's the magnificent Imperial Palace where lavish celebrations were held in its incredible ornate interiors. Not forgetting Hofkirche, one of Europe's finest royal court churches.
Ambras Castle, meanwhile, is one of the biggest attractions in Innsbruck, and one you'll particularly like, as it's linked to Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595), who promoted the arts and sciences as a true Renaissance prince. He established the magnificent Ambras collections and had a museum facility built in the lower castle to house them, designed according to modern criteria from the time. Today, it's home to the Habsburg Portrait Gallery where you can see the work of famous artists such as Lukas Cranach, Anton Mor, Tizian, van Dyck and Diego Velásquez.
There are many walking tours available if you fancy letting someone else do all the hard work and showing you the main attractions. We recommend the "Classic Walking Tour", which gives you an excellent overview of Innsbruck's fascinating history.
At some point during your trip, you simply must visit Bergisel – a ski jump designed by the late great Zaha Hadid. Either take the stairs (there are more than 450 steps) or enjoy a quick ride up in its lift. There's a viewing platform offering a breathtaking panorama of the Nordkette range. You can even enjoy some food here in its own restaurant.
Then, clinging to rock at the foot of the Nordkette mountain range, there's Alpenzoo where you can get close to alpine wildlife. Take a short walk up the hill from Hungerburg to see golden eagles and chamois.
Our top spot for breakfast in Innsbruck goes to Breakfast Club. With all-day breakfast and brunch, you can expect decent coffee and something to suit all tastes – we enjoyed a little of the organic bread and local cheeses. Or there's Cafe Sacher in the Hofburg Imperial Palace, offering quite the old world Habsburg charm. For snacks on the go, try a strudel from the bakery at Kröll.
If you want to try something authentically Austrian for lunch or dinner, then Die Wilderin is a good shout. Based in Innsbruck's old town, the chef Alexander Reis cooks up modern interpretations of Austrian classics, including tender boiled rump of 'Tyrolean Grey' beef and succulent roasted duck. Or perhaps Stiftskeller is more your cup of tea – it's a bit more laidback with a large beer garden and lots of hearty pub grub.
Another recommendation for food is Bistro Gourmand, a French restaurant that isn't the cheapest option but certainly deserves a mention. Chef Thierry Aragona's menu of classic Mediterranean dishes will not disappoint. Or, for a meal with a great view of the Alps, check out Lichtblick on the seventh floor of Rathaus Galerien (there are lots of decent vegetarian and vegan options available here too).
In Austria, you've got to try a little of its local craft beer. Tribaun is a good place to start. It offers a particularly helpful beer tasting experience where, for 90 minutes, you can learn the difference between ale, lager, stout, porter, IPA and pale ales. Nice.
If you're still standing after that, then head to Moustache – an excellent café during the day but, more importantly, a craft beer bar at night. Or there's Elferhaus, a popular haunt for the creative crowd in the old town. This is where you'll find a huge range of beers and hot meals served all day, all at very reasonable prices.
For something a little more sophisticated, we recommend 360°, a decent wine bar and lounge with – you guessed it – 360-degree views of Innsbruck from its balcony.

Across both Chelsea and Sutton, The Royal Marsden has five MRI machines, three 1.5T machines and two 3T machines, including one which is exclusively for clinical research in Sutton. We are one of the few centres in the UK to offer high quality whole body imaging. Our MRI capacity has increased over the past year, with the refurbishment of the Reuben Foundation Imaging Centre in Chelsea, funded by supporters of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Usually there is no preparation required for an MRI scan. You may eat and drink normally before and after the scan unless you have been told otherwise.
For abdominal and pelvic scans you may be given medication before the scan. This will relax your bowel for a short time to improve the quality of the scan. All instructions will be on your appointment letter – please read it carefully.
An injection of contrast medium (dye) may be given into a vein. This is not always necessary but it can provide the scan with extra information. As with all medication, a very small number of patients may be allergic to contrast medium. Please inform the radiographer if you have any allergies or you are breast-feeding.
You will not be allowed to take or wear anything metallic or with magnetic strips into the scan room, except a wedding ring. You may wear your spectacles, but they will be taken off immediately before the scan.
A locker is provided for your valuables. You must give the key to a radiographer as it is magnetic.
As well as meeting reception staff, you will also meet radiographers who are trained to carry out the scans. You may also see a radiologist (a specialist doctor who is trained to interpret the results and carry out some of the more complex examinations).
No, the scan isn't painful. However, you will have to lie still for up to one hour on a table which is quite hard. The radiographers will do their best to make you comfortable. If you have any pain or discomfort that could lead to difficulties with the scan, please tell the radiographer before your scan.
The scanner produces a variety of loud noises which are made by magnetic coils that switch on and off during the scan. These coils measure the signal coming from your body in order to create the images. The noise is caused by them being switched on and off so rapidly that they vibrate.
Ear defenders or earplugs will help reduce this noise.
Although the scanner is open at both ends, some people may find it slightly claustrophobic. If you are worried about this, please speak to your radiographer before you come for your scan. During the scan, the radiographer will be able to see you from the control room and you can talk to each other through an intercom. You will be given a call button to press and may be able to listen to music during the scan. The newer scanners are much shorter and wider than before.
A variety of videos about what to expect when having a scan can be viewed on the Royal College of Radiologists website.
Scans can take between 20 minutes and an hour. If your scan is going to take longer you will be told this when your appointment is made.
You may leave the department as soon as your scan is finished. You can also go to the toilet and eat and drink as usual. There are no side affects to the MRI scan itself.
Although the radiographer can see parts of your body on the screen, the images must be carefully interpreted by a radiologist who is an expert in this field. He or she will prepare a report and send it to your doctor a few days later.
Your doctor will tell you the results and discuss them with you.
What if I can't keep my MRI appointment?
If you can't keep your appointment, please contact the MRI department straight away on 020 8661 3340 (Sutton) or 020 7808 2576 (Chelsea).
If you are admitted to hospital before your appointment, please tell the ward staff that you have an MRI appointment booked.
The staff in the MRI department will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please ask at the time of your appointment or telephone the department at any time on the numbers above.
Further information about MRI scans is available below.
Supporters of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity donated £6.9 million to fund the 1.5T and 3T MRI scanners and the construction of the MRI suite.

About Charles Cramer
Charles Cramer is a photographer who revels in exploration and craftsmanship. A masterful artist, his career broadly parallels that of Ansel Adams: an early focus on music, finding inspiration in Yosemite National Park, and exploring the developing medium of photography. Charles has worked in the darkroom for many years, mastering the complex Dye Transfer process. He was also one of the first landscape photographers to work with the "digital darkroom", recognizing the computer as an unparalleled means to control color and realize his artistic interpretation of the scene.
"I studied piano for 20 years, ending up with a degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. This conservatory was endowed by George Eastman, who also founded the Eastman Kodak Company. This connection between music and photography can be seen in the lives of many photographers. I gradually turned to full-time photography by 1980. The end goal of my photography has always been to make beautiful prints. I have spent a large part of the last 30 years refining my skills not just photographing the natural scene, but learning how to make the best possible prints from these images.
"When venturing out into the field, I am drawn to photograph primarily by the 'light' and only secondarily by the subject. I search for that special kind of light that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This brings me out at seemingly odd times---sunrise, sunset, during storms and snowstorms. The weather can be onerous. But when everything comes together for a photograph, all that is quickly forgotten. Many of my photographs are from the Southwest. The light here is unique, especially when bouncing off canyon walls and enveloping a scene in glowing, warm light. Another favorite canyon is Yosemite Valley."
"For many years, I made my own photographic prints in the darkroom with the Kodak Dye Transfer process. This was a very difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process---but I felt the results were worth all the work. In 1997, I started working with processes that I feel can now rival and even surpass the beauty of a dye transfer print. I scan my original 4x5 inch transparencies at very high resolution, and using Photoshop as a digital darkroom, I can adjust the image with more subtlety than I had with the dye transfer process. I do all the final printing with Canon printers.
The Canon Pro-4000 large format printer uses pigmented inks, on specially coated papers. These prints exhibit incredible sharpness, along with great resistance to fading. Previously, dye transfer prints were considered the gold-standard for archiving important images, but the Canon inks now exceed that by 3-4 times. I am thrilled to be able to make prints of a quality I could only imagine previously. And this process allows me to make very large prints, with no loss of quality"

Victims of Crime and Community Justice
Can a victim's experience really be improved purely by diminishing the rights of offenders and increasing penalties for offending?
Writing at a time when the UK is beginning to accept that an offender-led criminal justice system cannot provide direct benefits to the victim of crime, Dr Brian Williams lays bare the assumptions about victims and offenders that currently restrict efficient policy-making. He evaluates proposed solutions, including restorative justice and informal community justice, and draws on evidence and experiences from the UK and around the world to investigate which measures have proved effective and how criminal justice policies might be redressed.
This book provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the topic for students of criminology and victimology, and is essential reading for practitioners in social work and probation officers.
Press reviews for: Victims of Crime and Community Justice
This book is a very useful addition to the expanding literature on victims and victimology... Williams provides a detailed analysis of community justice, including a useful definition as well as a discussion of the implications for victims... The world of victims and victomology is only just beginning to be explored and, in a sense, this book can be seen as a guide for the researcher to explore what is essentially uncharted territory.
Williams has produced a highly insightful book which introduces the reader to the differing issues of concern in relation to the victims of crime... This book will broaden readers' thinking on the needs of victims- and balances those with the perpetrator's.
Australian Social Work
(Although it is an English book) it addresses the issues from an international perspective. It places community and restorative justice programs in a political context, which is fundamental to understanding their operation and implementation. It is also one of very few books available on this topic, despite the popularity of community and restoration programs. I would strongly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in victim services and community responses to crime.
The book is academic but eminently readable and draws on research from across Western Europe and the English-speaking world to make it a comparative study. It examines community and restorative justice and their implications for victims, considering ways in which the position of victims could be improved without removing the proper rights of defendants.
British Journal of Criminology
Victims of Crime and Community Justice is a timely contribution to an increasingly political debate about the position of victims in the criminal justice system. Williams explores the development of the role of victims of crime with reference to community justice and restorative justice initiatives in the United Kingdom and beyond. His intention is to expose the misplaced assumptions behind policy making 'for' victims, and to question the 'genuine-ness' of the political primacy attributed to victims. By laying bare such assumptions and the ways in which they restrict efficient policy making, whilst exploring the experiences of victims in informal justice settings, Williams sets out to identify the lessons to be learned in order to address the needs of victims of crime more generally.
International Review of Victimology
The book could be read as a whole or each chapter could be dipped into as required. I would recommend it to practitioners who have direct involvement with victims and students of criminology, social work and probation studies.
Noting that organizations claiming to represent victims have become increasingly visible and vocal, he looks at some of the associated advantages and drawbacks and shows how certain common themes have dominated this area of policy. He proposes a more balanced approach that takes into account both the needs of the victim and the responsibilities of the offender'.


Al-Miʿrāj (Arabic:المِعراج, lit. ascent) or al-Isrāʾ (Arabic:الإسراء) is the nightly journey of the Holy Prophet (s) from Mecca to al-Aqsa Mosque and from there to the skies. Both Shi'a and Sunni are unanimous regarding the happening of Mi'raj according to frequent verses and hadiths, but they disagree regarding the time, place, numbers, condition, and physical or spiritual nature. This event happened in final years of the noble Prophet's (s) stay in Mecca. In Mi'raj, the Prophet (s) saw divine signs and met the souls of some great prophets (a).
Literally, Mi'raj means ladder, stairs and anything by which one can ascend while in usage it refers to the nightly journey of the Prophet (s) from Mecca to al-Aqsa Mosque and from there to the skies and reaching Sidrat al-Muntaha and the position of Divine Qab Qawsayn.
According to al-Tabrisi, Mi'raj of the Prophet (s) is among the issues that Shi'a, Sunni, verses along with frequent hadiths support. The story of Mi'raj has been mentioned in Qur'an 17 and Qur'an 53.
Based on a famous report, this nightly journey of the Prophet (s) happened in the final years of his stay in Mecca (After the Bi'tha and before the Hijra), but there are discrepancies among narrations regarding the exact year and whether it was before the demise of Abu Talib or after it.
Prophet's (s) Mi'raj, a masterpiece painted by Mahmud Farshchian, the master of Iranian painting and miniatures.
Eve of Rajab 27, according to Mulla Fath Allah Kashani, author of Manhaj al-sadiqin is the most famous report.
Some have also mentioned a night in Shawwal or Rabi' II.
The time it took for the Prophet (s) to go to Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque and to the skies and his return, did not last longer than one night and the next morning the Prophet (s) was in Mecca. It is been cited in Tafsir al-'Ayashi that Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, "The Prophet (s) performed the prayers of 'Isha and Fajr in Mecca." Which means that Isra' and Mi'raj happened between the two.
There are differences among narrations about the detail of the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj and whether its beginning and the end of it was the house of Umm Hani, al-Masjid al-Haram or Shi'b Abi Talib. But it is famously said that in that night, the Prophet (s) was in the house of Umm Hani, daughter of Abi Talib and from there went to Mi'raj and returned there at the end.
To explain why the Qur'an has mentioned al-Masjid al-Haram as the departure of this journey, it is said that Arabs call all Mecca the sanctuary of God; therefore, all of it were assumed as mosque and sanctuary of God and the house of Umm Hani was in the sanctuary. Also, the content of some narrations do not agree with the occurrence of Mi'raj in Shi'b Abi Talib.
According to some narrations, the Prophet (s) went to Mi'raj more than just once. 'Allama Tabataba'i regarded one of them from al-Masjid al-Haram and another from the house of Umm Hani and said that the first verses of the Qur'an 53 approves this. Also different opinions regarding the place, time and other details of Mi'raj can be justified through this theory.
In that night, archangel Gabriel came to the Prophet (s) and brought him a conveyance called Buraq and the Prophet (s) got on and moved toward Jerusalem. At the time of mounting on Buraq, it began to show disobedience and Gabriel hit it and told it, "Be calm o Buraq! Previously no prophet has ever mounted on you and in the future, no one like him would ever ride you." After that hit, Buraq was calm and took him up which was not so high while Gabriel was with him.
In the middle of the way, the Prophet (s) stopped in Medina, mosque of Kufa, Tur Sina and Bethlehem which is the birthplace of Prophet Jesus (a) and prayed there. He (s) then entered al-Aqsa Mosque and prayed there too.
Apparently, the Prophet (s) ascended to the skies from the mosque of Qubbat al-Sakhra. The reason for naming it is the existence of a rock inside it from where the Prophet (s) ascended to the skies. In the travel log of Nasir Khusraw, it has been claimed that upon the entrance of the Prophet (s) to the mosque, that rock ascended before him and after his ascent that rock never came back to earth.
From there, the Prophet (s) ascended to the sky of this world and saw Prophet Adam (a) there. Then, angels came to welcome him in groups and greeted him smiling and congratulated him. There, the Prophet (s) saw an angel having a frowning and angry look and when greeting him (s), not smiling like others. When the Prophet (s) asked the name of that angel from Gabriel, he answered that, "this is Malik, guard of the hell and has never smiled and his wrath on the enemies of God and sinners is being increased incessantly." The Prophet (s) then asked Gabriel to show him the hell and when he opened its cap, a flame rose out of it which filled the air.
There, the Prophet (s) also met 'Izra'il (Azrael or Malak al-Mawt , the Archangel of Death) who was holding a tablet of light in his hand and after he had a conversation with the Prophet (s), said, "all the world in my hand is like a coin in the hand of a man and he flips it. There is no house except I meet five times a day…" That was when the Prophet (s) said, "Indeed, death is the greatest of calamity and the harshest of event." And then Gabriel said, "the events following death are worse than that."
The Prophet (s) then ascended to the second sky and there, he (s) met Prophet Yahya (a) (John the Baptist) and Prophet Jesus (a), then with Prophet Joseph (a) in the third sky, with Prophet Idris (a) (Enoch) in the fourth sky, with Prophet Aaron (a) in the fifth sky and with Prophet Moses (a) in the sixth sky.
The Prophet (s) then went to the seventh sky and reached where Gabriel was unable to reach saying, "I do not have permission to go there, and if I approach it as much as a tip of a finger, my wings and feather will burn."
On return, the Prophet (s) landed in Jerusalem and went toward Mecca. On his way to Mecca, he (s) encountered a trade caravan of Quraysh who had lost a camel and were searching for it. The Prophet (s) drank from the water they had in a bowl and poured the rest of it on the ground and according to a report, covered the cap of the bowl. He (s) landed in the house of Umm Hani before sunrise, and told her his secret for the first time and then in the daytime, disclosed his secret to the gatherings of Quraysh.
On the night of Mi'raj, a conversation was made between the Prophet (s) and God in the form of a divine hadith which became famous as hadith of Mi'raj.
The story of Mi'raj which seemed to be impossible for Quraysh to believe made their chiefs angry the most. They denied the Prophet (s) and said, "There are people in Mecca who have seen Jerusalem; to prove it, describe the building!" The prophet (s) not only described the buildings of Jerusalem, but also reported the events on the way between Mecca and Jerusalem and said that in the middle of the way, I encountered a caravan from a tribe who had lost a camel and had a bowl full of water in their goods from which I drank and then covered it. Also, I encountered a group a camel of whom had escaped and had broken a leg." Quraysh said, "Report on the caravan of Quraysh." The Prophet (s) said, "I saw them in Tan'im as a grey camel was walking ahead of them, carrying a palanquin on its back. They must enter Mecca now. Quraysh became very angry at such definite news and said, "We will see the truth or lies of his word now." Soon, a caravan entered the city and Abu Sufyan and the passengers approved the details of the Prophet's (s) report.
Most exegetes believe that the Prophet (s) went to Jerusalem and from there to skies with his body and soul. But, Khawarij denied it and also Jahmiyya and Shaykhiyya believed it happened spiritually only. According to some narrations, when the Prophet (s) arrived in Bayt al-Ma'mur and near Sidrat al-Muntaha, some of his companions accompanied him.
On the night of Mi'raj, he (s) saw some great signs of God. There are some reports on what the Prophet (s) saw in the skies, dwellers of paradise, the hell and angels.
According to narrations reported by al-Shaykh al-Saduq and others, one of the places the Prophet (s) saw traveling above the earth was the land of Qom which glittered as a spot and when asked Gabriel about that spot, he answered, "It is the land of Qom, where believing servants and the followers of your household will gather and wait for deliverance and will endure hardships and grief."
The Prophet (s) also met the souls of some great prophets including Adam (a), Abraham (a), Moses (a) and Jesus (a) and led their prayer.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet (s) said, "On the night when Gabriel took me to Mi'raj, when we came back, I told him, 'O Gabriel, do you have any request from me?' he said, 'my request is that you send regards to Khadija (a) on behalf of the Almighty God and on behalf of me." When the Prophet (s) met Khadija (a), gave her regards from God and Gabriel and she replied, "Surly, Allah, He is the Peace, and from Him is peace and towards Him is peace and with Gabriel be peace."
Since the time of Al Jalayir, Mi'raj of the Prophet (s) has been among the most dominating themes for Iranian painting. There are pictures available from this period about the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj the oldest one of which is made by Ahmad Musa, one of the famous painters of this period. Pictures of the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj reached their pinnacle of illustration in the next period of painting in Iran which was the school of Harat. Many books have been found from this period especially at the time of Shahrokh which have pictured the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj. One of these books is Mir Haydar's Mi'raj Nama in Uyghur language which has depicted different moments of Prophet's (s) Mi'raj. In a picture, Shah Muzaffar Siyah Qalam has depicted the Prophet (s) at the time of Mi'raj riding the human faced Buraq which is accompanied by Gabriel.
Nizami's Khamsas are among the most important books which have depicted pictures from the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj at the time of Timurids and periods contemporary with them.
One of the most famous works of painting at the time of Safavids is a Khamsa of Nizami belonging to the time of Shah Tahmasb which is a drawing of the famous scene of the Prophet's (s) Mi'raj painted by Sultan Muhammad. This work, together with three other works attributed to him, are placed in the illuminated manuscript of Nizami's Khamsa ordered by Shah Tahmasb Safavi and its painting and calligraphy have been made between 942/1535 and 947/1540 . Its calligrapher has been Shah Mahmud Nayshaburi, the famous calligrapher of 10th/16th century. In this work, the picture of the Prophet (s) whose face has been covered with a white mask is depicted riding Buraq among the great crowd of angelic creatures with 15 angels and Gabriel is guiding him flying ahead of Buraq.
This work is painted in the size of 101 * 81.5 cm. Beside the picture of the Prophet (s), angels are in state of supplication. In this painting which depicts the night of Mi'raj, a force can be seen which draws the hand of the Prophet (s) towards God and the higher we look, the more angels fade in the Divine Essence of God.
Mi'raj Namas and paintings about Mi'raj, especially the painting of the Mi'raj of the Prophet (s) kept in Malek Library and National Museum belonging to Astan Quds Razavi with the record number of 5995.
The event of Mi'raj has inspired Muslim painters to depict different scenes pertainintg to this extraordinary incident. Perhaps the early paintings belong to Ahmad Musa (7th/13th century).

Updates continue for academic buildings
TORI FARR | STAFF REPORTER
Yellow and orange detour signs have become a norm around Butler University's academic buildings in the last year could continue for the next couple of years.
Rich Michal, executive director of facilities, said Jordan Hall's age and structure call for a unique approach and implementation in the construction aspect.
Built 90 years ago, Jordan was the very first building on Butler University's campus. The building features masonry-plastered walls and an exterior that displays eight-inch granite stones.
"Jordan Hall was built like a castle," Michal said, "but even castles require some maintenance from time to time."
The risk for granite stones to fall increases as Jordan's structure begins to break down.
The first step of the $2 million maintenance project was to relay and secure all entryways to avoid the risk of falling stones. Now, the crews are working to finish the rest of the exterior within the next two years.
Once the exterior is finalized, crews can focus on interior renovations.
Irwin Library also recieved cosmetic changes in the past year.
In preparation for Irwin Library's 50th anniversary coming up next month, crews redid the entry stairs and plan to replace the roof, Michal said.
Craig Hardee, director of planning and design, said all recent campus repairs are programmatic changes that are part of a larger plan to keep campus running smoothly.
With the increases in admission seen by the university in the recent years, an increased number of staff is needed, Hardee said. This calls for renovations that create space for both the students and faculty.
One update in the long-term plan is residence hall restoration.
The bottom floor of Schwitzer Hall has a unit that was newly renovated for the 2012-2013 school year.
The hallways have new carpets, eco-friendly toilets and the ability to change the thermostat to their desired temperature.
Michal said the modernization is the new standard when updating residence halls. Updates are projected to begin next summer.
Though this past year saw an abnormally large amount of construction, Michal assures the Butler community progress is being made.
One year ago, Michal and Tom Weede, vice president of enrollment management, walked around campus and identified a list of more than 50 items that needed to be addressed throughout campus.
After a year of construction, that 50-building list now has less than 10 items.
Michal said he is very pleased with the progress made and the end results on campus.

WCSU Welcomes our ISEP students!
Academic Success Spot and ARMs
It's going to take a bit of work to get here to WCSU's campus. Here's some important information for you on getting to campus from local airports.
Bradley International, Windsor Locks, Connecticut
Although closer than some of the NYC airports, Bradley is perhaps the most difficult in terms of public transportation.
Bus Service to Danbury is available. Ask at the Information Desk or an airline employee where to find a bus to take you to Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
(Click to link to Bradley Transport Services)
You may also be able to hire a car or shuttle service. More information on car and shuttle services may be found when you click on the photo link.
Once in Danbury, call for a taxi at 203-792-0029 or (203) 792-8294, and ask the taxicab driver to take you to Western Connecticut State University, Old Main building.
Laguardia (LGA) or Kennedy (JFK) airports, New York City
Transportation is more readily available from Laguardia and JFK airports than from Bradley.
(Click image to link to Connecticut Limo) Connecticut Limo is perhaps the most readily available and convenient service (unless your flight arrives in the early hours of the morning!) You may arrange your transportation before you arrive via the Connecticut Limo website, or you can arrange it through the Ground Transportation Desk once you've landed. Follow signs to the Ground Transportation area, or ask an airport employee to direct you.
Once there, tell the representative that you would like to take the next shuttle to Danbury,Connecticut. The cost for a one-way trip is approximately $80.
The Connecticut Limo will take you to the Maron Hotel. From there, you can get a cab (dial 203-792-0029 or(203) 792-8294) to the WCSU Midtown Campus (181 White Street), Old Main building. Go to room 306.
Buses and trains are available from the airports to Manhattan, and from there, to Danbury. Here are some of the services available:
AirTrain JFK
(Click image to link to AirTrain JFK) Take the AirTrain from JFK to the subway or bus service into Manhattan (Grand Central Station). From there, take a MetroNorth train to Danbury, CT or to Brewster, NY. Finally, call a taxi to take you to the WCSU Midtown Campus (181 White Street), Old Main building. The AirTrain and subway cost into Manhattan will cost about $7.50.
Metro North Railroad
(Click image to link to MTA/Metro-North) From Manhattan's Grand Central Station terminal, you can take a Metro North train to one of two locations. You may take the New Haven line to the Danbury station. This trip requires that you change trains in South Norwalk, but the Danbury station is only 1/2 mile or so from the WCSU Midtown campus. A one-way ticket on the train will cost about $20.
You may also take the Harlem line to Brewster, New York. This trip does not require changing trains, but is a little farther from campus. Once arriving in Brewster, you will need to hail a taxicab at the stand in front of the station, ask the driver to take you to Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT (181 White Street), Old Main building. Again, the cost for the train is about $20. The taxi may cost about $30.
Peter Pan Bus (also serving Bonanza and Greyhound bus lines)
(Click image to link to Peter Pan Bus) Several bus lines run to Danbury from Manhattan. From the Port Authority Bus Terminal (625 8th Ave. & W. 42nd Street) Peter Pan Bus Line offers service to Danbury. The cost is approximately $20.00. The bus stop is just off Main Street. Call a taxicab at 203-792-0029.
Newark Liberty Airport, Newark, New Jersey
(Click image to link to AirTrain Newark) Like JFK, Newark Liberty Airport also hasAirTrain service into Manhattan. From Newark, you can catch the AirTrain into NY's Penn Station. The cost is about $13.00. From Penn Station, take the subway to Grand Central Station (cost approximately $2.25), where you can switch to the Metro North train. You may take Metro North's Harlem line to Brewster (cost about $20), and a taxicab can be hailed there to take you to Danbury (cost about $30). Or, take the New Haven line to Danbury (requiring yet another train change in South Norwalk.) The Danbury train station is about 1/2 mile from the midtown campus. Call a taxicab at 203-792-0029.
(Click image to link to Newark Liberty Transportation) A variety of shuttle and car services are available into Manhattan from Newark Liberty Airport. Like the AirTrain, most will require you to make several stops and transfers between Newark and Danbury. It may be more reasonable (or just easier!) for you to hire a car service to drive you directly from Newark to Danbury. The transportation site at Newark's website lists some options available to you.
Logan Airport, Boston, Massachusetts
(Click image to link to Peter Pan Bus) Transport is available from Logan to Danbury via Peter Pan Bus again. You can catch a bus from Logan into Boston, and from Boston to Danbury. Please see the Peter Pan webpage (click the photo) for more complete information. The bus stop is again just off Main Street, and you may call a taxicab at 203-792-0029 or (203) 792-8294.
Directions, Maps, Hotels, and other information

Masitinib mesylate (AB1010) is a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In vitro it has greater activity and selectivity than imatinib mesylate against the wild-type c-Kit receptor and the mutated form in the juxtamembrane region. It also inhibits the PDGF and FGFR3 receptors. BUI, B.N., et al. "Preliminary efficacy and safety results of Masitinib administered, front line in patients with advanced GIST. A phase II study." J. of Clin. Oncology 25: 10025 (ASCO Annual Meeting Proceedings Part I 2007).
A placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial of masitinib was performed in the dogs with nonmetastatic recurrent or nonresectable grade II or III mast cell tumors (MCT). Masitinib significantly increased overall time to tumor progression (TTP) compared with placebo, regardless of whether the tumors expressed mutant or wild-type KIT. Masitinib was generally well tolerated, with the most common adverse events being mild or moderate diarrhea or vomiting. Hahn, K.A., et al. "Masitinib is safe and effective for the treatment of canine mast cell tumors." J. Vet. Intern. Med. 22: 1301-1309 (2008).
Masitinib treatment of patients with imatinib-resistant tumors was encouraging. The safety profile of masitinib at 12mg/kg/day b.i.d. was favorable and compatible with a long-term regimen for the treatment of solid cancers. Soria, J.C., et al. "Phase 1 dose-escalation study of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor masitinib in advanced and/or metastatic solid cancers." Eur. J. Cancer Jun 19 (2009) [Epub ahead of print].
Masitinib showed an oral bioavailability of ~60% in cats. Bellamy, F., et al. "Pharmacokinetics of masitinib in cats." Vet. Res. Commun. Jun 16 (2009) [Epub ahead of print].
Masitinib is the active ingredient in the drug product sold under the trade name Kinavet® in the U.S, and under the trade name Masivet® in Europe. This drug is currently approved in at least one country for use by veterinerians for treatment of recurrent (post-surgery) or nonresectable Grade II or III cutaneous mast cell tumors in dogs that have not previously received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy except corticosteroids. THE MASITINIB, FREE BASE RESEARCH COMPOUND SOLD BY LC LABORATORIES IS NOT KINAVET® NOR MASIVET®, AND IS FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY.

2021 IndyCar Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course 2 Preview
Posted on August 11, 2021 August 10, 2021 by The Motorsport Critic
After the Music City Grand Prix in Nashville the NTT IndyCar series is in action once again this coming weekend with its second race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) road course.
Alex Palou continues to lead the championship and has a 42 point advantage over nearest challenger, and teammate, Scott Dixon. This is after Palou finished seventh in Nashville while Dixon went on to finish second.
Pato O'Ward completes the top three in the driver standings having finished thirteenth last weekend. It means the Mexican is 48 points behind Palou, and therefore six behind Dixon. O'Ward has a 27 point advantage over fourth placed Josef Newgarden who was classified tenth in Nashville.
Marcus Ericsson claimed his second victory of the season in Nashville and is only four points behind Newgarden entering this weekend. The Swede has a 45 point advantage over sixth placed Graham Rahal. Although both Newgarden and Rahal achieved better results, fourth and fifth respectively, in the first race on the IMS road course compared to Ericsson's tenth place finish.
With this weekend's race being a road course it means that the series is due to have all of its 2021 rookies in action. Scott McLaughlin is the leading rookie still, the Penske driver is thirteenth in the standings eight points behind Alexander Rossi and 21 points ahead of Jack Harvey.
There is then a 40 point gap between McLaughlin and the next best placed 2021 rookie of Romain Grosjean. The latter made a strong impression in the first race at the IMS road course where he claimed pole position and led parts of the race before eventually finishing second.
The Frenchman is level on points with James Hinchcliffe, the Canadian having finished third last time out in Nashville. The two are 11 points behind Ryan Hunter-Reay who is directly above them in the standings.

Hunter-Reay and Hinchcliffe finished the first IMS road course race twelfth and eighteenth respectively. But considering they both enter this weekend off the back of finishes inside the top five at Nashville, it will be interesting to see how they, and Grosjean, do this weekend.
The last series rookie to mention is Jimmie Johnson who failed to finish in Nashville, but was classified twenty sixth. The Chip Ganassi driver is twenty eighth in the championship and 28 points behind Max Chilton who runs a similar IndyCar program to that of the seven time NASCAR Cup Series champion.

A quick look at recent research Vector finds noteworthy.
Microbiome studies are blooming as rapidly as bacteria in an immunocompromised host. But few studies have been done in children, whose microbiomes are actively forming and vulnerable to outside influences. Two studies in Science Translational Medicine on June 15 tracked infants' gut microbiomes prospectively over time. The first, led by researchers at the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital, analyzed DNA from monthly stool samples from 39 Finnish infants, starting at 2 months of age. Over the next three years, 20 of the children received at least one course of antibiotics. Those who were repeatedly dosed had fewer "good" bacteria, including microbes important in training the immune system. Overall, their microbiomes were less diverse and less stable, and their gut microbes had more antibiotic resistance genes, some of which lingered even after antibiotic treatment. Delivery mode (cesarean vs. vaginal) also affected microbial diversity. A second study at NYU Langone Medical Center tracked 43 U.S. infants for two years and similarly found disturbances in microbiome development associated with antibiotic treatment, delivery by cesarean section and formula feeding versus breastfeeding.
In up to 5 percent of infants, some degree of kidney dilation or swelling, known as hydronephrosis, is identified prenatally. This can be a sign of kidney obstruction requiring surgical correction, so after birth, many infants are subjected to invasive, costly diagnostic testing that exposes them to radiation and often has inconclusive results. Yet sometimes hydronephrosis resolves spontaneously. A study in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, led by Boston Children's urologist Richard Lee, MD, suggests the diagnostic promise of urine proteomics in detecting true kidney obstruction (known as ureteropelvic junction obstruction). Collaborating with the Proteomics Center, they systematically compared proteins in the urine of eight babies with an obstructed kidney versus eight healthy controls. Of 1,113 proteins identified, they found 76 whose amounts significantly differed in the babies with obstruction. Proteins involved in oxidative stress, inflammation and renal disease pathways were the most likely to be found in excess. From this initial "hit list," Lee and colleagues hope to develop and clinically test a urine biomarker panel that could replace invasive testing.

Zebrafish are valued in science for their ease of breeding and their convenience for large-scale drug testing — test chemicals need only be put in their water. Now scientists at the Epilepsy Genetics Program and F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center at Boston Children's Hospital have even developed a system to noninvasively measure their brain activity. In PLOS One on June 9, they describe a system for recording electrical activity from up to 61 different head locations in a live, developing zebrafish. From these EEGs in miniature, they could quantify neuronal firing frequency, spike patterns (continuous or bursting), and synchrony of neuronal firing (a hallmark of seizures). The recordings are allowing them to study the effects of seizures and observe how electrical activity changes in the presence of potential antiepileptic drugs—as in this study of PCDH19 epilepsy.

January 22, 2023 January 22, 2023 Seth Dunn bethel, elevation, Hillsong, Steven Furtick, Sun City
In 1985 a group of popular musical acts calling themselves Artists United Against Apartheid released the song Sun City. Sun City was a resort in the internationally unrecognized and nominally independent state of Bophuthatswana, which was created by South Africa 1977 as a part of its system of apartheid. Despite the lucrative opportunities available to bands who would perform shows at the resort, Artists United Against Apartheid declared boldy: "I ain't gonna play Sun City."
For Artists United Against Apartheid, there was no paycheck worth entertaining the patrons of Sun City, a resort created for wealthy whites to enjoy themselves while their black neighbors suffered under one of most oppressive governments in the world. South Africa has since ended its system of apartheid, but there are still many venues at which conscientious musicians should refuse to play. Sadly, the most prominent one can turn out to be their own local church.
Contempory worship services have developed from expressions of corporate worship to overproduced concerts, dark rooms full of fog, illuminated by spotlights. The songs sung are generated from a money-driven evangelical industrial complex that is dominated by some of the most heretical organizations in the world. Organizations such as Hillsong, Elevation, and Bethel Church Redding all have their own musical enterprises. Having gotten rich from using false teaching to tickle the ears of whomever will listen, the leaders of these organizations have further enriched themselves by producing church music. This music has found its way into local churches everywhere…
And you are expected to sing it.
If you participate in the music ministry in your local church does it prick your conscience to play this music? Does it bother you to foist Steven Furtick's lyrics upon your fellow church members? If so, will you tell your music ministry "I ain't gonna play Sun City Baptist Church". I mean, if Bono and Steve Van Zandt can excercise a musical conscience, can't you?
Be assured that your refusal to sing and play these songs at church won't stop others from doing so. Artists Against United didn't shut down that resort. Superstars like Elton John, Dolly Parton, and Queen still played Sun City. If you refuse to sing and play songs from evil organizations at your church, somebody else might take your place. But don't you want to stand before God one day and say, "I couldn't stop others but, Lord, I loved your church enough to stop doing that."
No, no, no. I ain't gonna play Sun City Baptist Church.

Before you can manage a winner, you've got to get into it. And you've got to get into it with minimum risk. Because in the end, its all about risk reward followed by money/trade management. If you try, for example to enter a currency trade with 30-50-100 pips of risk, you are going to have to be right quite often. If you can find flash points in the market, where you can enter with 5-15 pips of risk, you probably only have to be right one out five, six or seven times to make consistent money. So, spend some time looking for those inflection points in the market.
Once you're in, your stop has to be moved to break even. Never let a winner turn into a loser. Never let a trade turn into an investment just because you are stuck. Its also a good idea to take partial profits quickly. That way you are playing with the market's money and you can forget about that trade and move onto the next one. There's a lot of psychology here: if you've already taken partial profits and your stop on the balance is at break even, you have no excuse for not staying in the trade. Many traders have a problem with holding losers and getting rid of winners quickly. The style I've described will help you do the opposite.
So now you are in the trade, you've taken partial profits, and put a stop at break even on the part you are holding. What's next? Well there's always a technical measurement that will give you an idea of where you are going. It could be a head and shoulders formation, an Elliott Wave Analysis, a Fibonacci retracement or one of several other measurements. The point is that one or a combination of these technical measurements will yield an objective.
Once you know the objective, you've got to make up your mind to stay in the trade until the objective is reached. Some people think they can trade it by selling on rallies and try buying it back lower. Not a good idea. Its very hard to jump on a moving train. And what usually happens is that the trader sells it on a rally and overnight it gaps up and the trader is lost. And worse, the trader has no way to get back in. Were he to buy it after it has gapped up, it will usually drop back and fill the gap, and guess what? The trader has turned a winner into a loser.
So, when do you sell? As soon as it reaches its objective? No. Why? Because in most cases, the market overdoes it. And usually if you get out at the objective, you leave a lot of money on the table as it continues up without you. I remember a specific trade when I was long gbp/jpy and it reached its objective which was a nice 400 pip win for me. So I took my profits and got out. Guess what? It proceeded to go up another 300 pips with me watching. So, the lesson is "don't take yourself out of the market, let the market do it." After all the market is always right, not you, not your opinion and not someone else's opinion. Consequently my strategy when my objective is reached is not to get out but put a trailing stop in a that point, not before; and let the market take me out.
In summary, there's little doubt trading is 10% technical and 90% psychological. After all everyone knows the technical aspects of trading, and they are useful, but the old adage is that what everyone knows is not worth knowing. The tools I've outlined for you above are designed not just to make money, but to relieve the stress and anxiety that accompanies trading; to let your losers go quickly and hang onto your winners. Enjoy!


With an original superstructure that was constructed in 1950, along with a stone masonry substructure that predated it, the 27th Street Bridge in Washington D.C. needed to be replaced. STV provided on-site construction management and inspection support services for the District Department of Transportation's (DDOT) first accelerated bridge replacement project and the agency's first Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil – Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS) project. The Federal Highway Administration closely monitored this assignment as part of a state-based initiative of its Center for Accelerating Innovation.
Faced with several challenges – a requirement to complete the project within 98 calendar days, blending the aesthetics with the adjacent Rock Creek Park natural setting, and strict environmental controls affecting the stream beds – the STV team established and supported an outreach program that involved meeting with local entities to address all the concerns and provide updates.
Despite these challenges, the project was completed eight calendar days ahead of schedule and under budget. The bridge replacement project now serves as a model for future GRS-IBS projects.

'Naamkaran' actress Barkha Bisht turns Goddess Kali in Sab TV's show 'Tenali Rama'
After playing the pivotal role of Aisha in Mahesh Bhatt's "Naamkaran", TV actress Barkha Bisht will now be seen playing a cameo in SAB TV's show, "Tenali Raman".
The show that features Priyamvada Kant and Krishna Bharadwaj in the lead, will have Barkha play a pivotal cameo as Goddess Kali.
Apparently, Tenali who was an extremely wise and witty poet of the fourteenth century, received his great knowledge of scriptures only once he was blessed by Goddess Kali. The talented actress will thus be seen playing this vital role in the serial.
Produced by Abhimanyu Singh, under the banner of Contiloe Productions, the serial is based on the life of Tenali Ramakrishna, fondly called as Tenali Rama. He was a 16th-century court poet at the Vijayanagara Empire in India. Remembered even today for his extraordinary wit, brilliance and wisdom, many biopics and cartoons have been made on the character.
The serial is based on Cartoon Network's 'The Adventures of Tenali Raman', the humourous tales with a message.

Outages leave apartment tenants without water for days
Water problems persist across the Midstate following the winter storm, and some renters have been without water for four days now.
By: Alexandra Koehn
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Water problems persist across the Midstate following the winter storm, and some renters have been without water for four days now.
At Preakness Apartments in Antioch, having no water and a 6-month-old baby has been tricky for Anne Nkusi.
"It's really hard; we're supposed to cook for her because now we're supposed to start giving her food," Nkusi said.
Another resident, who wants to remain anonymous, wonders why water was shut off for the entire complex.
"We bought bottled waters; we stayed at hotels," the resident said. And she's frustrated it's taken so long to get water back.
"You were there in your home, nice and warm, able to go in there with hot, running water and jump in your own tub, versus going to your family's house or a hotel or whatever the case may be, where hundreds of us are without water — some of us wasn't even able to go and get a bath," she said.
A representative with Hawthorne Residential Partners said they're working with plumbers to identify leaks before water is restored. It's unclear when that could happen for the entire complex.
According to the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands, tenants do have some rights in these situations, but it depends on the scenario. First, tenants should check their lease to see who's responsible for fixing pipe problems, according to Elizabeth Leiserson.
"The other problem with burst pipe issues is there's a lot of different things that may have caused it, and it's possible that it's actually a tenants' fault." Leiserson said, "For example, if the tenant wasn't keeping the heat on, or forgot to drip the pipes, that sort of thing... it might also be the landlord's fault — they weren't doing enough maintenance on the unit."
Leiserson said tenants should document everything, too.
"You should keep paying your rent until you're able to talk to a lawyer," Leiserson said.
For now, apartment residents across the Midstate will be waiting for the water to come back on.
"To be honest, we are not happy because of this," Nkusi said.
Macon County is also dealing with a widespread water outage. In Red Boiling Springs and Lafayette, they're handing out bottled water at City Hall and the fire department.
And some good news out of La Vergne. Crews worked through the weekend to fix a water supply issue. They were able to install a pump that allowed the city to get water from Smyrna for the time being.

MIAMI — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Monday released his long-planned e-book, "Reply All," a selection of email exchanges with everyday Floridians, journalists and others during his two terms as Florida governor.
Bush's publication of the 730-page digital book comes as he attempts to reset a campaign hobbled by stagnant poll numbers, a fundraising slowdown and a poor debate performance. On Monday, Bush officially begins his "Jeb Can Fix It" tour in Tampa, pitched as the start of his campaign comeback.
The e-book covers his two terms as governor, 1999-2007, when he carried a Blackberry at all times, spending 25 to 30 hours a week emailing and responding to a diverse range of people through his public and personal email account. The Blackberry was included in Bush's official portrait as governor.
Since launching his presidential campaign in June, Bush has repeatedly pointed to his record and experience as governor to sell voters on why he should be the GOP's next nominee.
On the 2000 presidential election recount, Bush wrote: "As governor I was somewhat embarrassed about how difficult the recount became. Who had ever heard of 'hanging chads?" The razor-thin margin in Florida between his brother, George W. Bush, and Vice President Al Gore, led to a contested outcome resolved before the U.S. Supreme Court.
More typical were emails with everyday Floridians like a woman complaining in 1999 about problems caused by tractor-trailers on I-75 and a man outraged in 2006 over the state's skyrocketing homeowner insurance rates.
He also shared his mixed feelings on receiving an email from a 32-year-old black single mother who praised him at the end of his gubernatorial tenure, but said she was unconvinced he cared about African-Americans.
"All people matter to me and I have tried as hard as I can to prove that," Bush replied.
He also included email exchanges with current GOP rival and fellow Floridian Marco Rubio.
"I couldn't resist ribbing my friend Marco Rubio just a little," wrote Bush in a 2006 email when Rubio's office responded to his email with an automated reply. Rubio was House speaker at the time.
"Automated response!!! …," Bush wrote back with 26 exclamation points.

NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg to Run Norway's Central Bank
By Peter McLaren-Kennedy • 05 February 2022 • 12:19
Norges Bank, Norway's central bank announced on Friday that they had appointed the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as their next governor.
Stoltenberg's term with the military alliance ends later this year leaving him free to move on to a new role, which will see him take over from the current governor Øystein Olsen who retires this month after more than a decade in the role.
The 62-year-old Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, also served as finance minister from 1996 to 2000. He had previously said if he got the central bank governor position, he wouldn't be able to start before leaving his NATO job on October 1.
A statement on the central bank website said it hoped Stoltenberg can start in his new role by December 1. Until then, Norges Bank Deputy Governor Ida Wolden Bache will run the bank in an interim capacity beginning March 1.
In a statement, Norway's current finance minister, Trygve Slagsvold, said he had been "concerned with identifying the best central bank governor for Norway, and I'm convinced that this is Jens Stoltenberg."
With the announcement from Norway's central bank ends speculation that Jens Stoltenberg would stay on at NATO, and the search for a successor must now begin ahead of a meeting of member nation leaders in June this year.

We present an efficient method for verifying global conditions for (large) distributed object systems using conventional model checkers. Global conditions are expressed in a distributed variant of CTL, making the distribution structure sufficiently visible to enable automatic translation into local conditions for the single objects and for the communication between them. These can be verified one after the other or parallel using existing model checkers. Our method avoids state space explosion if the amount of communication traffic between objects is limited. It is illustrated by a large example where our method shows a dramatic speedup and improvements in practicability over conventional model checking.

Q: Get Option Label and Value of Simple Product with Customizable Options I know the way to get the customizable options by this code below:
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$product = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Registry')->registry('current_product');//get current product

foreach ($product->getOptions() as $options) {
     $optionData = $options->getValues();
     foreach ($optionData as $data) {
            print_r($data->getData());
            echo   $optionPrice[] = $data->getPrice();
            echo $optionDuration[] = $data->getTitle();
     }
}

But I don't know how to get the option_type_id of that product. I want to know what option that product have selected like:
Size : 10 kg in the select 10kg,20kg,30kg.

A: I think you are looking for $product->getOptions()[0]->getValues()[0]->getOptionTypeId()

A: Finally, I found my own answer. The code below will get an array contain label and value of customizable product.
public function getCustomizableOption($item) {
        /**
         * @var $product \Magento\Catalog\Api\Data\ProductInterface
         */
        $product = $item->getProduct();
        $options = $product->getOptions();
        $responseData = [];
        $optionIds = explode(',',$product->getCustomOptions()['option_ids']->getData('value'));
        $optionTypeIds = [];
        foreach ($optionIds as $id) {
            array_push($optionTypeIds,$product->getCustomOptions()['option_'.$id]->getData('value'));
        }
        $i = 0;
        foreach ($options as $option) {
            $optionData = $option->getValues();
            foreach ($optionData as $data) {
                if (in_array($data->getData('option_type_id'),$optionTypeIds)) {
                    array_push($responseData,array('label' => $product->getData('options')[$i++]->getData('title'), 'value' => $data->getData('title')));
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return $responseData;
    }

Hope it will help who have the same question with me.

Russia considers its declaration as a sponsor of terrorism in the US as a point of no return
Foreign Ministry: Russia warned the United States about the point of no return when declaring it a sponsor of terrorism Moscow warned Washington that recognizing Russia as a "country sponsor of terrorism" would be a "point of no return," the Foreign Ministry said. They did not rule out that Russia could lower the level of diplomatic relations with the United States or even break them
Moscow warned Washington that declaring Russia a "country" sponsor of terrorism" will become the "point of no return" in relations between states, said Alexander Darchiev, director of the North American Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in an interview with TASS.
He described the situation in relations between the countries as "turbulent", noting that Western states, led by the United States, "trampled international law and absolute taboos in diplomatic practice." Darchiev mentioned a proposal to declare Moscow a "sponsor of terrorism." "If it [the initiative] is implemented, it will mean that Washington has crossed the point of no return with the most serious collateral damage to bilateral diplomatic relations," — warned the head of the Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He did not rule out that in this case Russia could lower the level of diplomatic relations with the United States or even break them.
Now the list of sponsors of terrorism in the United States includes four countries — Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Syria.
Being on the list means strict restrictions on interaction with this state, a ban on the export of defense goods, control over the export of dual-use products, financial and other restrictions — these measures are included in the list of anti-Russian sanctions. In addition, sanctions are envisaged against other states that maintain trade relations with a sponsor of terrorism.
In late July, the US Senate passed a resolution calling on Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to recognize Russia as a "country"; sponsor of terrorism. Later, Politico reported that Congressmen from the Democratic and Republican parties are going to submit a bill to the House of Representatives. They hope that Congress can give Moscow such a status, bypassing the State Department.
The White House said that they are studying the possibility of classifying Russia as a "country"; sponsors of terrorism. In early August, Democratic and Republican senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham called for recognition of Russia as such, regardless of the presence or absence of support from President Joe Biden.

testData = [("London", 51.5, -0.1, [0,0,5,8,8,0,0]),

        ("Birmingham", 52.5, -1.9, [0,2,10,7,8,2,2]),

I'm new to haskell sorry if this doesn't make sense

A: There is an error in testData: the closed square bracket is missing. But I guess you truncated the list of cities and forgot the bracket.
Apart from that, I cannot reproduce your error.
How do you call avgRainfall function? Are you calling it inside another function which you use to print out the result? Can you share the whole source file?
