The Bulgarian Action Committees in Macedonia were patriotic nationalist organizations of Bulgarians in Macedonia during 1941, emboldened by the invasion Yugoslavia by Nazi Germany, determined to end the Yugoslav (Serbian) rule in the region, perceived as oppressive by Macedonian Bulgarians and by the representatives of other communities or political tendencies in Vardar Macedonia. They were also encouraged by the friendly relations between Nazi Germany and Bulgaria, and by the hope that after the German Army swept through the Bulgarian one succeed it. The time of the Bulgarian Action Committees was a time witnessing an acute lack of authority.  The Serbs in authority positions had fled most of the region, not afraid of the Germans, but primarily of reprisals from the local Bulgarian population.  The Bulgarians, specifically the Action Committees, sought to take control of the region for Bulgaria, laying the groundwork for Bulgarian rule. The Executive Committee of the organization was headed by: Stefan Stefanov from Kratovo, president, Spiro Kitinchev from Skopje, vice-president and Vasil Hadzhikimov from Štip (Novo selo), secretary. In Veles Bulgarian Action Committees received the active support by popular communist functionaries as Panko Brashnarov.

When the Yugoslav rule was replaced by German military administration, and then finally by Bulgarian rule, these goals were realized. On May 18, 1941, the German military command in Skopje officially handed over the administrative power to the Bulgarian state. However, once the region and administration were organized, the Action Committees became marginalized, and ultimately dissolved.

Q: How to implement Cross Browser Opacity Gradient (Not Color Gradient) How can I implement cross browser opacity gradient (not color gradient)?
See following code:

It works fine in IE but not in other browsers like firefox,safari..etc.
What is equivalent syntax for firefox?
Please don't suggest me to use gradient image.

A: There's -moz-linear-gradient for recent Firefox versions and -webkit-gradient for WebKit browsers. Transparency for those two should be possible by using rgba colors.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-linear-gradient
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/SafariVisualEffectsProgGuide/Gradients/Gradient.html
The only real 100% cross-browser compatible solution is an image though.

A: Thanks @deceze,
I am writing sample css for other people having same requirement
top:0px;
    opacity: 0.6;
    width: 1944px;
    height: 896px;

Amangkurat I fue sultán (susuhunan) del Estado de Mataram, en la isla de Java, desde 1645 hasta su muerte en 1677.

Amangkurat I fue incapaz de mantener el liderazgo militar iniciado por Agung, su predecesor, lo que le valió una serie de fricciones en todo el territorio controlado por Mataram. Se le recuerda como un gobernante que no quiso separarse de su ejército y que, a su vez, no permitió que ningún otro lo controlara, impidiendo su crecimiento. Su reinado fue tiránico y terminó con el consenso entre la monarquía y la aristocracia, además de enemistarse con antiguos aliados y vasallos.

Tensiones con Países Bajos
No obstante, guardó buenas relaciones con la Compañía Neerlandesa de las Indias Orientales, lo que hizo resurgir el comercio costero en Mataram. Los neerlandeses requerían arroz y madera, que eran fundamentalmente recursos costeros, por lo que la reapertura del comercio con la compañía provocó una crisis en las áreas interiores de Mataram, reavivando el enfrentamiento tradicional entre el interior y la costa norte. Para mantener a raya esta costa, nombró a dedo dos gobernadores y decretó que ninguno de sus súbditos podría viajar fuera de Java, lo que atacaba directamente a los intereses de los mercaderes beneficiados por el comercio europeo. En 1652, con la excusa de una medida contra Bantén, Amangkurat I prohibió el comercio directo con los neerlandeses e hizo saber a su embajador que podría continuar comerciando con Mataram mediante negociación directa con su capital. Esto se comprendió como una medida para aumentar las arcas reales, en lugar de cobrar impuestos mermados a través de los comerciantes costeros. Esta medida no debió parecerle suficiente al sultán, ya que en 1655 ordenó el cierre completo de sus puertos, incluso a los pescadores, y mandó a su ejército destruir algunos de ellos, en lo que seguramente fue un intento de acabar con un territorio que apenas podía controlar.

En 1657 se reabrieron los puertos, pero solo hasta 1660, según se dijo como represalia por la destrucción de Palembang, único aliado de Mataram más allá de Java, efectuada por Países Bajos un año antes. En 1660 la Compañía Neerlandesa y Mataram rompieron toda relación comercial, incluso el trato directo con la capital a través de Jepara. No obstante parece que existieron más razones además de las oficiales. En 1661 los puertos fueron reabiertos.

En los años subsiguientes, el avance de los neerlandeses por la actual Indonesia demostró que la potencia europea era una amenaza. Amangkurat envió diversas embajadas a la vez que se empeñó con decisión en efectuar un control total sobre la costa, en la que estaba interesada la Compañía Neerlandesa.

Rebelión y muerte
Amangkurat I practicó una política de pena de muerte ante cualquier sospecha de rebelión. En los últimos años de la década de 1660, sin embargo, el príncipe y futuro Amangkurat II consiguió reunir tropas y mantener una oposición fuerte ante el rey, a pesar de que la corona real ya le estaba destinada. Se conoce poco de la juventud de Amangkurat II aparte de que, como su padre, era un mujeriego, situación que los enfrentó.

Entre 1660 y 1663 se extendieron rumores de que el rey había intentado matar a su hijo y de que incluso lo había conseguido. Según una de estas historias, en 1661 Amangkurat I había asesinado a varios de los colaboradores del príncipe y éste había logrado escapar. Entre 1668 y 1670 padre e hijo se enfrentaron por una mujer. Además, desde 1660 el príncipe había tratado de establecer contactos por sí mismo con la Compañía Neerlandesa. Así mismo mantuvo contacto con Raden Kajoran, hombre de magia sagrado que tenía razones para odiar al rey. Raden Kajoran hizo encontrar al príncipe con Trunajaya en 1670, y ambos urdieron un complot para derrocar al rey. La rebelión fue iniciada en la isla de Madura. En 1675, en guerra y con el rey enfermo aún en el poder, el imperio tenía visos de desmoronarse. La guerra, además de una erúpción en Java en 1672 y una serie de fuertes terremotos, parecían corroborar una antigua profecía que auguraba la desaparición de Mataram en marzo de 1677.

En 1676, tras la desintegración del ejército real ante los rebeldes, y después de unos años de rebeliones y alzamientos, muchos gobernantes de reinos vecinos dejaron de reconocer a Amangkurat I como soberano legítimo. Sin embargo, el príncipe heredero había perdido control sobre la rebelión, y su supuesto aliado Trunajaya reclamaba cada vez más títulos y dignidades, entre ellos el derecho al trono de Mataram. El rey Amangkurat I murió durante los ataques de julio de 1677. Amangkurat II ascendió al trono sin ejército, sin tesoro real, sin corte y, en realidad, sin reino.

Q: How to abort 500 in production? I have a feedback form and want to test .fail message (use sweetalert swal method). How artificially to trigger a 500 error when sending  form in production environment (in local it`s work)? Thanks for any help)

A: A 500 error signals a fatal error during execution. To trigger that explicitly, simply make your app fail so it returns a non-0 status code. Throwing an exception will do, but the most straight-forward way is to simply exit with a non-0 status code:
exit 1;

You could also configure your web server to return the HTTP status code directly for specific URLs/requests; for example an .htaccess configuration:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteRule /my/submit/uri - [R=500]

Most medical advancements of modern life started in the laboratory. Some, like the polio vaccine, sprouted from years of research directed toward combating a specific disease. Other breakthroughs, like penicillin, were discoveries in "basic" research later shown to have a clinical benefit. But translating a discovery into a clinical treatment can take years — though penicillin was first isolated in 1928, it took about 15 years to fully realize its clinical potential and develop a pipeline for mass production.
Researchers at the University of Washington are among the winners of a startup challenge to shorten the transition time from lab bench to patient. The team, including members of professor Suzie Pun's research group in the UW Department of Bioengineering, was selected based on its proposal and business plan to develop a targeted drug delivery system for breast cancer. As one of 10 teams winning the National Cancer Institute's Nanotech Startup Challenge, the group will receive assistance and support from NCI and other partners in the often daunting transition into the business world of drug development.
Pun credits CoMotion, the UW's hub for innovation and spinoffs, for facilitating their entry into the challenge.
CoMotion connected Pun and UW bioengineering graduate student Chayanon Ngambenjawong with Elizabeth Cho-Fertikh, a scientist and founder of Washington, D.C.-based ECF Biosolutions, and together they drafted a business proposal for a drug delivery system targeting a specific population of tumor-promoting cells present in most solid cancers.
Their team proposal relied on years of research into these tumor-promoting cells, known as tumor-associated macrophages or TAMs. When this proposal passed the first hurdle in the startup challenge, they then developed a business plan and pitched it to a panel of experts and judges. As a winner of this second and final round in the competition, Pun and partners will be ushered through a multistep process of incorporating a company, meeting investors and launching their startup.
Pun and her team believe targeting TAMs may help improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy and other anticancer drugs.
Pun's group previously discovered a short peptide sequence displayed on the surface of TAMs in mouse tumors. Human TAMs should contain a similar sequence, and the UW team proposes to exploit this sequence as the basis for a novel drug delivery system against TAMs in breast cancer. But that could just be the beginning.
For more information, contact Pun at spun@uw.edu.

How do switches, vSwitches and distributed vSwitches differ?
In a VMware environment, switches bring the physical network to virtual machines (VMs), while standard virtual switches and distributed virtual switches enable a sophisticated virtual network topology between VMs, hosts and host clusters.
A network switch directs network traffic. Similarly, a virtual switch (vSwitch) carries VMs' traffic to the physical network and to other VMs.
Distributed vSwitches, which are also known as VMware vDS, enable more features than standard vSwitches, sometimes called VMware vSS. A standard vSwitch works within one ESX/ESXi host only. Distributed vSwitches allow different hosts to use the switch as long as they exist within the same host cluster. A distributed vSwitch extends its ports and management across all the servers in a cluster, supporting up to 500 hosts per distributed switch.
Instead of making virtual networks more complicated with its additional options, the distributed vSwitch simplifies operations and helps catch configuration errors and increase network visibility.

Swiggy hires logistics partners for delivery
3 min read . Updated: 05 Jul 2016, 04:33 AM IST Priyanka Sahay, Sayan Chakraborty
With high delivery costs leading to cash burn and investors turning cautious, firm moves to pare costs
mint-india-wire Swiggyfood delivery start-upshyperlocal start-upsShadowfaxZomatoFoodpandaRunnre-commercebusiness news
New Delhi/Bengaluru: Hyperlocal food delivery start-up Swiggy has started hiring third-party logistics partners for delivery as the company struggles to scale its business, said four people aware of the development.
The new initiative, if rolled out at scale, will help the firm cut costs.
Swiggy, owned by Bundl Technologies Pvt. Ltd, services most of the orders with its own delivery fleet and claims that such a business model helps it retain complete control over delivery, which, in turn, translates into better customer experience.
However, with investors becoming increasingly cautious about their bets and the high delivery costs leading to cash burn, the company has now roped in Shadowfax Technologies Pvt. Ltd to deliver some of its orders in Bengaluru and Delhi. The firm is also in advanced talks to seal a deal with Opinio (Moonshots Technologies Pvt. Ltd) to deliver in Bengaluru, said one of the four people cited above. Swiggy also held talks with Mumbai-headquartered Grab a Grub Services Pvt. Ltd, but the talks were unsuccessful.
To be sure, Swiggy is among the best-funded food delivery start-ups in India, having raised about $60 million from the likes of Accel Partners, SAIF Partners and Norwest Venture Partners, among others, since April last year. The firm competes with Zomato Media Pvt. Ltd, Rocket Internet-backed Foodpanda and Runnr (the combined entity created after Tinyowl Technology Pvt. Ltd merged with third-party logistics company Roadrunnr).
"While Swiggy has a clear lead over the rest in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, it is not in the best of shapes in Delhi, which is dominated by Zomato. The partnerships with third-party delivery firms will help Swiggy reduce some cash burn in its books. The plan is to start outsourcing deliveries on a small scale, but if the pilots go well, this may be expanded," said the person quoted above.
A Swiggy spokesperson confirmed the development in an email, but added that orders serviced through external logistics firms currently make up less than 1% of the overall volume.
"Their services are used only occasionally, during unplanned demand spikes occurring in select areas," the spokesperson said.
According to industry experts, the average order value for food in the US is around $20, significantly more than the average ₹ 300 in India. Consequently, delivery companies in India which charge clients a commission of 10-20% of the order value end up losing money as every delivery costs more than ₹ 50.
Swiggy's rival Zomato partners with third-party logistics firms for delivery. It had invested in Grab and partnered with e-commerce-focused logistics company Delhivery in September.
Shadowfax and Opinio did not reply to emails seeking comment. Swiggy did not confirm the names of the logistics partners.
Grab, however, confirmed that the two companies explored the possibilities of a partnership.
"We did receive a call from Swiggy a few weeks ago as they were looking for logistics companies to outsource a portion of their surge o rders. We declined due to disagreement on commercials and their expectation of just a peak-hour delivery management solution," Nishant Vora, co-founder at Grab, said in an email.
Though Swiggy currently wants to review the outcome of the pilot before scaling up engagement with logistics companies, industry experts say the move to outsource delivery will lead to cost efficiency.
"It is very hard to optimize utilization (of delivery fleet) on your own. One day your orders are lesser. So the companies which are doing it for a lot of players will be able to manage the utilization much better because they have to build limited buffer across multiple vendors; but if you are alone, you cannot even deal with a 10% variation in the order. So it is very critical from the cost-efficiency point of view. Scalability as well as cost are big factors," said Abhishek Goyal, co-founder of Tracxn, a start-up tracker.
Swiggy does not have the entire delivery fleet on a fixed pay basis. More than 60% of its delivery fleet comprises temporary employees who come in only at times of high demand such as lunch hours and dinner time. Swiggy also increased the minimum order value for free delivery from 150 to 250 and is testing a new model—charging a delivery fee of 20 for orders placed on holidays, festivals and rainy days when fewer delivery staff are available.

About ALL WAYS UP
In 2009, Greg and Jodi Perlman established ALL WAYS UP (known then as the Perlman Foundation) with a simple, yet compelling mission: To help first generation and low-income get to AND through college.
The Perlmans have a long history of supporting individuals and organizations that are working to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. As owners of thousands of Section 8 housing units across the country, Greg and Jodi Perlman were struck by the rampant generational poverty they saw, and the difficulty many individuals, couples and families had in breaking free of it. They realized that at these properties, they had the resources to identify — and lend a helping hand to — those working hard to better their lives. With this idea, ALL WAYS UP was born.
ALL WAYS UP started by offering a scholarship to any high school graduate who lived in Section 8 housing and enrolled in a two- or four-year college or university. These students were given scholarships of up to $2,500 a year to ease the financial burden of college. After seeing the impact of this initial effort, ALL WAYS UP soon began to offer Section 8 residents other services, including summer camp scholarships for children and home ownership down payment grants for couples and families saving every spare penny to buy their first home.
As ALL WAYS UP began to evolve, it discovered another way to create positive change:
To partner with community-based, non-profit organizations that could also identify hard-working, motivated participants. The first such partnership was created with the Social Justice Learning Institute's Black Male Youth Academy, whose success rates were astounding. This partnership allowed ALL WAYS UP to expand services beyond Section 8 housing to other low-income residents in the community.
In 2012, ALL WAYS UP broadened its charity partner outreach by launching the BGAs and in 2014, the Perlman Foundation officially changed its name to ALL WAYS UP. This change reflects the organization's expanding base of partnerships, widening reach and continuing devotion to create unique and powerful ways to bridge the gap between ambition and achievement. ALL WAYS UP is proud of the many "ways up" being taken by those we serve — low-income youth and families with a demonstrated commitment to elevating their lives.

"The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist. In February 2009, the American newspaper 'Newsweek' found that the station deserved a 4th place as world's most beautiful station."
"In 1835 the first train from Brussels to Antwerp arrived in Antwerp in a wooden station outside the city walls, in Koningin Astridplein. This structure was replaced in 1854 by a new wooden station building near the Antwerp Zoo's current entrance: East Station.
But King Leopold II felt that Antwerp deserved a more prestigious station. In 1895 Bruges-born architect Louis dela Censerie set to work. Ten years later Antwerp's Central Station was officially inaugurated. The station consists of an elevated railway bed, a covered steel platform hall and a monumental station building for services and ticket hall.
Antwerp's Central Station is considered one of the most beautiful stations worldwide. Between 2000 and 2009 the monumental building was completely modernised and expanded to accommodate the high-speed rail line. More platforms were opened on two additional underground levels, an additional entrance with station hall was built in Kievitplein and space was created for shops and restaurants. The unique metal platform roof had previously been restored. In the past Antwerp Central Station was a terminus where trains had to turn around. But since 2007, trains can continue their journey thanks to the railway tunnel between Antwerp Central Station and the north of the city."

1.Letters Testamentary have been issued to me, and I am now the Executor of an estate. What do I do now?
Executors have a number of responsibilities in administering estates. First, you should post a bond if you are obligated to do so and have not yet done so. Where the bond requirement is not waived in the decedent's Will, the Court will usually order the Executor to post bond. The bond insures the Executor and protects beneficiaries from any possible negligence or wrongdoing by the Executor.
The Executor should then collect all of the assets of the estate and make an inventory of all of the assets. The Executor may need to hire appraisers to appraise some of the estate assets, such as any real estate that was owned by the decedent.
It is recommended that the Executor open an estate account in which to transfer all of the funds of the estate. The Executor should not transfer any of his own personal funds into the estate account and should not use the estate account to pay for his own personal expenses.
The Executor must also file an Inventory of Assets within six months of his appointment. The Surrogate's Court mails the Letters Testamentary to the Executor (or his attorney), as well as the Inventory of Assets form. The Executor is required to complete and file this form he receives and attach either a document that breaks down all of the estate assets and their values or a copy of the Estate Tax Return filed for the estate, if any was required.
The Executor should then pay all estate taxes and debts, if any. The Executor will also pay administration expenses, such as legal fees in connection with the estate administration; the decedent's cable bills, rent, and energy costs until such services are cancelled; and any storage expenses paid in connection with storing the estate assets.
The Executor can then distribute the remaining assets of the estate in accordance with the decedent's Will.
Once the Executor finishes distributing all estate assets to the beneficiaries, he should render an accounting. Some Executors choose to prepare informal accountings that are provided to the interested parties without court intervention. The interested parties will review the accounting and sign releases stating that they approve of the accounting and release the Executor from further liability. Other Executors choose to bring formal accounting proceedings in Court. In these proceedings, the interested parties have the right to contest the accounting in Court. If the accounting proceeding is successful, the Court will settle the account.
2. May I, as the Executor of the estate, sell a cooperative apartment that was specifically gifted to someone in the decedent's will?
The Executor may not sell any property that is specifically disposed of in a will unless he obtains court approval first. An example of how this rule applies is a situation in which a cooperative apartment is specifically disposed of to a beneficiary and the cooperative board does not grant approval to the beneficiary. In this scenario, since there was no board approval, the beneficiary of the cooperative apartment cannot own or sell the cooperative shares and unit. The Executor cannot sell the apartment either without further action. How can the Executor solve this problem? He can obtain court approval to sell the cooperative apartment and then sell the co-op and distribute the sales proceeds to the beneficiary.
3.May I, as the Executor of the estate, purchase real property from the estate of which I am the executor?
The Executor must first look to the will to see if the will authorizes the Executor to purchase real property from the estate or if it prohibits him from doing so.
If the will is silent on the matter, there generally is a way for an executor to obtain permission to purchase real property from the estate. Normally, this would be considered self-dealing, but the Executor may be allowed to purchase real property from the estate if he obtains a court order authorizing him to do so.
Before the Court grants the Executor permission to purchase real property from the estate, the Court generally requires that the Executor obtain two or more appraisals for the property that is the subject of the purchase. This will help the Court determine whether the Executor is acting in the best interests of the estate. If the Executor plans to purchase the property at a price substantially below the appraisal price, the Court may find that the Executor would not be acting in the best interests of the estate and may not grant permission to the Executor to purchase the property. The Executor should also give notice to all interested persons of the proposed purchase.
4.I know that Executors may distribute estate assets, but I have only received Preliminary Letters Testamentary. May I distribute estate assets to the beneficiaries of the decedent's will?
No. Preliminary Executors have most of the same rights as Executors. These include the right to collect all of the estate assets, pay estate and income taxes, pay all of the debts of the estate, and sell property not specifically disposed of in the decedent's will. The Preliminary Executor, however, may not distribute the estate assets.
5. I no longer feel competent to act as Executor. May I resign?
Yes. An Executor who can no longer act as Executor may resign. The Executor should file a petition with the Court in which he requests permission to resign as Executor, revocation of his Letters Testamentary, and judicial settlement of his account. In addition, the Executor should give reasons for his resignation and provide any information about the estate that will be helpful for the Successor Executor who takes over the estate. Some reasons that the Court may approve of the resignation are that the Executor is elderly, is severely ill, or is suffering from declining mental capacity.
Similarly, if the estate has multiple Executors and one of the co-Executors is violating his fiduciary duties, the other co-Executors or any other interested party can commence a proceeding to remove that co-Executor. Reasons that the Court may remove the malfeasant co-Executor are if he removed estate property to a location outside of New York state without court approval, if he changed his address without informing the Court, or if he has acted dishonestly in carrying out his duties.

but it is giving empty data.
facebook provides only object(i.e. post, photo etc.) likes, but i want to get page's likes information.

A: I'm not sure if you can do that with pages, I think you need to use an app.

A: I guess you can do that by setting an app and using facebook FQL. A query for get the link stats could be like:
SELECT share_count, like_count, comment_count, click_count
FROM link_stat
WHERE url = '$myURL'

Find more infos at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/

A: You could use what's called HTML Scraping where your php server makes a http request to get the facebook page url, and parse the string returned to get the 6 people who like it. Simply call this in a loop to get more than 6. Add to a database with a UNIQUE constraint on the Persons id or name column.

Dorian Torres's mother Shelly allowed police into the apartment Dorian was living in with his father, Emilio. The police found Emilio's body during a search of the apartment, leading to Dorian being charged with homicide. The court of appeals holds the police reasonably relied on Shelly having authority to consent to their entry and search of the apartment.
Emilio and Shelly, Emilio's ex-wife, lived apart but were "coparenting" 17-year-old Dorian, so Emilio had given Shelly a key to his apartment so she could help Emilio and Dorian and "check on" Dorian." (¶¶2-3). Shelly became concerned about Emilio after he failed to return her phone calls and didn't show up for work. (¶¶4-5). After Shelly called police to report Emilio missing, two officers accompanied her to Emilio's apartment to check on the situation. Though Dorian was there, Shelly simply unlocked the door with her key and allowed police in behind her. (¶¶6-9).
¶19 The authority of the third party may be either actual or apparent, as long as, in the case of apparent authority, reliance on the authority is reasonable. State v. Kieffer, 217 Wis. 2d 531, 548, 577 N.W.2d 352. Whether a person has authority to consent is dependent on the totality of the circumstances, and the State has the burden of proving valid third-party consent by clear and convincing evidence. [State v.] Tomlinson, [2009 WI 91,] 254 Wis. 2d 502, ¶¶21, 31[, 648 N.W.2d 367].
¶20 The evidence that shows Shelly's "common authority over or other sufficient relationship to" the apartment is considerable. [United States v.] Matlock, 415 U.S. [164,] 171 [(1974)]. By the time Shelly permitted the police to enter the apartment, the police knew the following. Shelly was Emilio's former wife and Dorian's mother. They were coparenting Dorian. Emilio had given an apartment key to Shelly and asked her to enter his apartment for various reasons, including to "check on" Dorian. Shelly had been in the apartment "many times" and spoke with Emilio regularly. She showed genuine concern for Emilio's welfare and, after reporting him missing, told police that she was going to the apartment herself. At the apartment door, Shelly did not knock or call out, but straightaway opened the locked door with her key and entered, bringing the officers with her. Dorian voiced no objection to the entry or search. See Tomlinson, 254 Wis. 2d 502, ¶¶28, 34, 37 (consent is supported when the defendant expresses no opposition to the entry taking place nearby); State v. St. Germaine, 2007 WI App 214, ¶21, 305 Wis. 2d 511, 740 N.W.2d 148 (defendant's silence bolstered the reasonableness of the officers' belief that they had consent to search). Viewing the foregoing circumstances would plainly "warrant [an officer] of reasonable caution in the belief that [Shelly] had authority over the premises" to consent to entry into the apartment. Kieffer, 217 Wis. 2d at 542. Because the officers' reliance on her apparent authority was reasonable, a warrant was unnecessary.5 Tomlinson, 254 Wis. 2d 502, ¶38.
5 We do not address whether Shelly also had actual authority because "[a]pparent authority is enough." United States v. Rodriguez, 888 F.2d 519, 523 (7th Cir. 1989).
Dorian argues Shelly lacked apparent authority based on State v. Sobczak, 2013 WI 52, ¶20, 347 Wis. 2d 724, 833 N.W.2d 59, which identified three factors that are especially relevant to apparent consent of invited guests: (1) the relationship of the consenter to the property owner, including familial connections and social ties; (2) the duration of the consenter's stay; and (3) whether the consenter was permitted to be at the property alone. The court disagrees. While Shelly and Emilio were divorced and living apart, the ongoing relationship and coparenting arrangement constitute a significant relationship. Further, Shelly was allowed to be at the apartment alone to assist Emilio and Dorian with errands, food, and cleaning. Although that permission was presumably for stays of short duration, she had been there "many times" in her coparenting role. (¶¶21-27).
Nor was Shelly's apparent authority undermined by Dorian's presence at the apartment and the fact he wasn't asked for consent to enter. "Nothing about Dorian's presence diminishes Shelly's authority to enter the apartment of her minor son—which is founded upon the multitude of circumstances discussed above—particularly when he voiced no objection at the time." Moreover, police had no obligation under the circumstances to request consent from Dorian. See Georgia v. Randolph, 547 U.S. 103, 122 (2006) (police not required to take affirmative steps to find a potentially objecting co-tenant before acting on the permission they had already received). (¶27 n.8).
I note the contradiction (a) in our law allowing the defendant to be charged as an adult, because the alleged crime happened when he was 17, but, then, (b) finding that his non-custodial mother had the apparent authority to enter the defendant's home uninvited because, in large part, the defendant was a "minor" at the time.


We use emerging technologies such as robotic process automation, AI, ML and IoT to challenge the status quo–improve our agility and competitiveness in a market that characterises itself with its novelty, fast growth, consumer impact, uncertainty and ambiguity.
We do not restrict our understanding of innovation as "high technology." Alternative thinking, accepting no limits and driving positive change –the three pillars of Mahindra Rise–support our drive and thirst to innovate.
At Mahindra, we have a strong focus to transform ourselves–adapt and reinvent using technology by the formation of sector-wise Digital Centres with a primary purpose to prioritise customer experience leveraging technology.
We also have a security council–security cannot be taken lightly at times when cybercrime and cyberwar are on the rise–as a single apex body for all security-related concerns.
What are the group's immediate digital priorities?
There are three ways M&M is leveraging the power of digital. First, by going digital–we are digitally improvising our existing processes and products/services. Second, we are starting digital–we are going 'outside in' by bringing in what customer wants from us. We have created DCs and IICs to keep up with the pace of digital transformation.
A few examples of digital innovation include 'Digisense', a connected car platform using IoT, and a supplier chain financing using blockchain by Mahindra Finance. We also have a mobile-first strategy MeConnect, a bouquet of more than 80 apps, to bring the employees onto a digital platform. To digitally enhance the customer experience, we have initiatives like WithYouHamesha and SyouV.com.
Third, a few projects are born digital–their business model is based on digital platforms. For instance, Trringo and M2ALL. We have corporate garages to develop such businesses.

Das Clearing House Unterricht ist ein Projekt der TUM School of Education, der Fakultät für Lehrerbildung und Bildungsforschung an der Technischen Universität München. Das Projekt versteht sich als Schnittstelle zwischen Bildungsforschung und Bildungspraxis und verfolgt das (langfristige) Ziel, evidenzbasiertes Handeln im Unterricht zu fördern und zu unterstützen. Es richtet sich in erster Linie an Lehrerbildende als zentrale Multiplikatoren in der Aus- und Fortbildung von Lehrkräften. Dafür fasst das Clearing House Unterricht den sich beständig entwickelnden Forschungsstand aus der Unterrichtsforschung zusammen, macht qualitativ hochwertige Forschungsbefunde ausfindig und bereitet sie auf seiner Informationsplattform für die Unterrichtspraxis auf. Das Projekt wird als Teilprojekt von Teach@TUM im Rahmen der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert.

Begriff und Begriffsgeschichte

Der Begriff Clearinghaus (englisch  oder ) wurde ursprünglich im englischen Sprachraum für eine Verrechnungsstelle von Banken eingeführt, in der Schecks und Rechnungen verschiedener Banken ausgetauscht und miteinander verrechnet werden können. Die Vorteile solch zentraler Clearing-Gesellschaften bestehen darin, dass sie Transaktionen bündeln, Risiken minimieren, den Austausch erleichtern, zwischen Angebot und Nachfrage vermitteln sowie die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Verpflichtungen sicherstellen können.

Mittlerweile hat sich die Bedeutung des Begriffs erweitert: Er wird heute generell für Einrichtungen benutzt, die als Umschlagplatz für Güter, Dienstleistungen oder Informationen dienen und so zwischen Angebot und Nachfrage vermitteln. Im Bereich des Naturschutzes und der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit hat sich der sogenannte Clearing-House-Mechanismus als praktisch angewandtes Modell eines Informations-, Kommunikations- und Kooperationssystems etabliert, um verschiedene Akteure besser miteinander zu vernetzen.

Als wissenschaftliches Verfahren hat ein "Clearing House" das Ziel, den aktuell besten verfügbaren Forschungsstand unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Qualitätskriterien themenbezogen zu ordnen, Ergebnisse aus zahlreichen Einzeluntersuchungen zu verdichten und zusammenzufassende Kernaussagen abzuleiten, um auf dieser Evidenzbasis fachliche bzw. professionelle Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen.

Die Medizin adaptierte als eine der ersten wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen das Verfahren: In Netzwerken wie der Cochrane Collaboration arbeiten Institute und Experten weltweit zusammen, um systematische Übersichtsarbeiten zur Bewertung von medizinischen Therapien bzw. konkreten Forschungsfragen zu erstellen, zu verbreiten und aktuell zu halten. Diese sogenannte evidenzbasierte Medizin soll den Wissenstransfer zwischen Forschung und medizinischer Praxis unterstützen und als wissenschaftliche Grundlage für Entscheidungen in der medizinischen Praxis dienen.

Analog zur Medizin geht es auch im Bereich der Bildung darum, evidenzbasiertes Handeln von Praktikern, das heißt, von Lehrern, zu fördern. Im Bereich der Bildungsforschung wurde das Clearing-House-Verfahren bislang vornehmlich in englischsprachigen Ländern umgesetzt (z. B. What Works Clearinghouse, Education Facilities, Best Evidence Encyclopedia, oder Campbell Collaboration aus den USA). Das Clearing House Unterricht der TU München versteht sich als das erste "Clearing House" in den Bildungswissenschaften für den deutschsprachigen Raum.

Voraussetzungen

Seit dem sogenannten "PISA-Schock" im Jahr 2001 und dem unterdurchschnittlichen Abschneiden deutscher Schüler in verschiedenen nationalen und internationalen Schülervergleichsstudien ist eine öffentliche Debatte darüber entbrannt, wie das deutsche Bildungssystem und damit die Qualität des Unterrichts verbessert werden kann. Orientierung versprach und verspricht man sich dabei von der Bildungsforschung. Die Fülle an Studien und ihre Komplexität erschweren Praktikerin jedoch den Überblick und den Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen. Diese Lücke will das Clearing House Unterricht schließen. Als Schnittstelle zwischen Bildungsforschung und -Praxis verfolgt das Clearing House Unterricht das Ziel, die evidenzbasierte Praxis in der Lehrerbildung zu stärken, indem es die aktuelle Forschung zielgruppengerecht aufbereitet.

Evidenzbasierte Lehrerbildung

Die Leitidee der Evidenzbasierung in der Lehrerbildung besteht darin, den sich ständig entwickelnden Wissensstand in den diversen schulrelevanten Forschungsbereichen – z. B. in der empirischen Bildungsforschung, der Lehr-/Lernforschung, den Learning Sciences etc. – zu einem integralen Bestandteil professionellen Wissens von Lehrkräften zu machen. Zukünftigen Lehrkräften soll empirisch geprüftes und für ihr professionelles Handeln relevantes Wissen vermittelt werden, beispielsweise darüber, welche Unterrichtsansätze unter welchen Bedingungen den größten Lernerfolg versprechen.

Lehrerbildner fungieren dabei als Vermittler, die Forschungsbefunde in ihre Kurse, Veranstaltungen und Vorlesungen aufnehmen und damit systematisch in die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrkräften integrieren.

Bei der Vielzahl an publizierten wissenschaftlichen Befunden kommt einem Clearing House eine wichtige Schlüsselfunktion zu: Sie soll relevante und aussagekräftige Forschung filtern und die Qualität der Forschungsbefunde nach standardisierten Kriterien überprüfen. Diese adressatengerechte Bereitstellung aktueller Forschungsbefunde ist ein erster Schritt, um den Informationsfluss zwischen Forschung und Praxis in der Lehrerbildung zu verbessern.

Verfahren und Forschungsgrundlage
Das Clearing House Unterricht deckt Themenkomplexe innerhalb des MINT-Bereichs (d. h. der Schulfächer Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik) der Sekundarstufe ab, die sowohl eine hohe Aktualität in der Praxis haben ('hot in practice') als auch in der Forschung gut untersucht sind ('hot in research'). Das Clearing House Unterricht beobachtet die internationale Forschungslandschaft im Bereich der MINT-Fächer und sammelt aktuelle Befunde systematisch in einer Forschungsdatenbank.

Da Themen der Bildungswissenschaft ein strenges experimentelles Prinzip und Vergleichsstudien mit Randomisierung und Doppelblindheit nur begrenzt zulassen, hält die empirische Bildungsforschung eine Vielzahl aussagekräftiger Evidenz bereit, die auf unterschiedlichenForschungsdesigns basieren (z. B. korrelative Fragebogenstudien, quasi-experimentelle Studien). Sofern ausreichend Evidenz zu einem Thema zur Verfügung steht, werden einzelne Untersuchungen und Primärstudien synthetisiert. Diese Forschungssynthesen in Form von Metaanalysen bilden die Grundlage für die Aufbereitung und Bereitstellung aktueller Evidenz im Clearing House Unterricht.

Die Suche und Auswahl der in Frage kommenden Metaanalysen orientiert sich an gängigen Standards für systematische Überblicksarbeiten (z. B. die systematische Suche in verschiedenen Datenbanken, vorab definierte Ein- und Ausschlusskriterien, Intersubjektive Auswahl u. a.). Die Qualität von ausgewählten Studien wird zudem anhand von etablierten Kriterienkatalogen überprüft.

Zudem identifiziert das Clearing House Unterricht Lücken im Forschungsstand und erstellt eigene Forschungssynthesen.

Wissensdissemination

Um Praktikern, in erster Linie aber allen Lehrerbildenden, den Zugang zu aktuellen Forschungsbefunden zu erleichtern, bereitet das Clearing House Unterricht die in Frage kommenden Metaanalysen im Hinblick auf ihre Zielgruppe auf: In verständlicher, deutscher Sprache werden die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst, eingeordnet und die Studien bewertet. Zusätzlich leitet das Expertenteam des Clearing House Unterricht aus den Ergebnissen jeweils ein Fazit für die Unterrichtspraxis ab und stellt zur Veranschaulichung jeweils eine Einzelstudie aus der Metaanalyse knapp dar. Diese sogenannten Kurzreviews sind das zentrale Informationsangebot des Clearing House Unterricht. Auf der Projektwebsite sind sie frei zugänglich und können in der Aus- und Fortbildung von Lehrkräften unmittelbar eingesetzt werden. Das Clearing House Unterricht plant, dieses Angebot um weitere unterstützende Materialien zu sogenannten Themensets zu erweitern.

Integraler Bestandteil des Erstellungs- und Optimierungsprozesses dieser Kurzreviews ist die Zusammenarbeit mit Praktikern aus der Lehrerbildung: Durch ein (iteratives) Prototyping-Verfahren mit regelmäßigem Feedback hinsichtlich Relevanz, Interessantheit und Nützlichkeit für die Lehrerbildung, wird hohe wissenschaftliche Qualität mit optimierter Passung für diverse Adressatengruppen kombiniert. Aufbau und Weiterentwicklung des Clearing House Unterricht werden zudem mit einer Reihe von Evaluationsstudien begleitet. Diese beziehen sich sowohl auf die Produkte des Clearing House Unterricht – und dabei insbesondere auf die Nützlichkeit für die Lehrerbildungspraxis – als auch auf die Online-Plattform und deren Benutzerfreundlichkeit.

Rock on, Dr. Lew
Lew Schon '82
Rock star Lew Schon '82 is back to this day job: orthopedic surgeon.
For the few who missed the concert or the viral video, Schon belted out a cover of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" in July at Boston's Fenway Park.
His backing band: the Foo Fighters.
Schon found himself on the inner circle of the hard-rocking band after front man Dave Grohl broke his leg jumping off a stage during a June show in Sweden. The former Nirvana drummer was initially treated by a colleague of Schon's in Great Britain. When Grohl returned to the states, Schon followed up on his care.
With Schon a longtime fan of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana, the two hit it off as the doctor oversaw the rocker's cast changes and rehab. Schon found himself hanging with Grohl and the band when the Foo Fighters came to Washington to kick off their 20th anniversary tour, which Grohl played from an ostentatious throne that allowed him to keep his broken leg elevated.
Later, when the doctor went to see the band at Fenway, Grohl surprised him with a request. "I thought he was joking but soon realized that he was dead set on making this happen," recalls Schon, who several times turned down the offer to sing at the next night's show.
But Grohl persisted. "He asked me if I knew anything about Fenway or Boston. I reflected and realized I knew 'Seven Nation Army,' the stadium song. He loved it and … 15 minutes before curtain time we had a rehearsal and the rest is history."
Schon says he has always been a performer at heart, doing magic shows at age 10 and giving academic lectures on orthopedics the last 26 years. He plays keyboards and sings with "The Stimulators," a band of orthopedic staffers from Baltimore's Union Memorial Hospital, where he specializes in foot and ankle procedures. Their gigs include hospital events, weddings and the Fourth of July. He recently sang with a Talking Heads tribute band at a club in Washington, and he opened for his son's band at a gig this fall.
At Union, he spent time in the piano practice rooms and sang with Kappa Alpha. He attributes his moves to a dance class he took in his first year.
At Fenway, the self-proclaimed "nerdy doctor guy" ignited the audience, flailing and loosening his trademark bow tie as he screamed out the song. The crowd was chanting "Lew!" as he left the stage. Said Grohl afterward from his throne: "Holy s----, that's actually my doctor. What a badass."
And the reaction at the office? "Everyone thought it was pretty cool," Schon said. "My patients were beaming and happy even if they had some swelling or discomfort. It was very therapeutic for them."

This good French violin bow from the atelier of Prosper Colas (1842-1919) in Mirecourt is made of fine brazil wood and features the original stamp over the frog. The round stick fetaures good stiffness and elasticity, it is very well balanced due to its perfectly distributed diameter. The bow features a total weight of 57.7 g, its perceived weight is perfect, the balance point is towards the centre, measured at 27.3 cm of the total length of 74.3 cm. This simple Prosper Colas bow embodies all of the good playing attributes that bows from France are famous for. The nickel mounted ebony frog has a mother-of-pearl eye. With its beautiful, fluid and bright sound of typical French character this bow is an unmistakeable work by Prosper Colas.


William J. Murphy has a "calmness that exudes confidence and works exceptionally well in the courtroom," as one client told Chambers USA.
An experienced trial lawyer, Bill has tried civil and criminal cases to verdict in state and federal courts, represented clients in commercial arbitration, and argued numerous appeals in courts around the country.
Bill has represented witnesses and targets of grand jury investigations, defended clients investigated by the SEC and other federal enforcement agencies, and represented individuals in congressional investigations—including several attorneys in the Office of the White House Counsel during the Clinton administration.
Bill was inducted as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2002 and completed a two-year term as chair of that organization's Maryland State Committee in 2014. He is currently serving a four-year term on the College's governing Board of Regents.
Bill has been entrusted by many local, regional, and national law firms with the defense of professional malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty claims filed against those firms. He also has been qualified as an expert witness in cases involving the standard of care and the ethical obligations of lawyers.
Represented a former employee of Dewey LeBoeuf, the international law firm that failed in 2012, in connection with criminal charges filed against his young client for participating in an alleged scheme to defraud the law firm's lenders. Our client was indicted along with three much more senior former employees of the firm by the New York County District Attorney's Office. Pursuant to pre-trial motions our client's trial was severed from the trial of his co-defendants. The Court later dismissed two of the seven charges on a defense motion, and the District Attorney voluntarily dismissed several other charges. Shortly before his case was scheduled to go to trial in March 2016, our client entered into a deferred prosecution agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, our client admitted no wrongdoing, and all remaining charges against him were dismissed with prejudice in January 2017.
Engaged as lead counsel in the defense of lawyers at several regional and national law firms in separate actions filed by former clients of those firms, alleging claims of professional malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. Over the course of his career, Bill often has been selected by prominent law firms and their insurers to handle sensitive litigation and other professional matters on behalf of those firms or individual attorneys. He recently settled a complex claim of professional malpractice for a law firm that had been alleged by a bankruptcy trustee to have contributed to the failure of the firm's former client.
Represented a law firm in a matter involving claims of malpractice resulting from the firm's alleged failure to maintain its client's foreign registration rights on a valuable manufacturing patent. The matter was settled on favorable terms without the need for litigation.
Recently settled claims against a national law firm involving allegations of professional malpractice based on an alleged failure to perfect a timely appeal from an award of attorney's fees entered as a separate judgment in employment litigation.
Settled claims against another large national firm named as a party in protracted litigation involving claims totaling tens of millions in alleged damages, arising from the law firm's representation of a target company in a private equity transaction.
Obtained a favorable settlement and dismissal on behalf of a prominent group of outside directors in claims initiated by the litigation trustee appointed by the bankruptcy court for a national developer of senior living facilities. Following defense motions to transfer the case from the Northern District of Texas (where the bankruptcy was pending) to the District of Maryland, and before the court was able to rule on substantive motions to dismiss, the trustee agreed to present the case to a mediator.
Represented the principal shareholders of a closely held government contractor in litigation initiated by a minority shareholder seeking dissolution of the corporation and related equitable relief. Following the successful defense of the case tried to a Maryland Circuit Court, we have continued as lead counsel in post-trial and appellate proceedings, two appeals, and proceedings on remand.
Represented several individuals detained by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay and at Bagram Air Force Base. In December 2009, a Yemeni physician was repatriated to his home country following eight years of incarceration at Guantanamo, as a direct result of habeas proceedings and related litigation efforts pursued by Bill and other Zuckerman Spaeder attorneys.
Settled a sharply contested litigation matter in which we represented corporate and individual investors in a dispute over the production and ownership of a long-form television documentary series for broadcast on public television.
Represented a large retailer of wine and spirits in many regulatory and litigation matters including a successful federal antitrust challenge to Maryland wholesale price regulations in a case that involved four separate appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. We continue to counsel the client, and represent its interests, in litigation matters and with respect to state and federal regulatory issues in Maryland and numerous other states where the company has expanded its business.
Represented several outside attorneys for Enron in U.S. Department of Justice Task Force proceedings, congressional hearings, regulatory matters, and private securities litigation that followed Enron's collapse.
Represented several attorneys in President Clinton's Office of White House Counsel in congressional and independent counsel investigations arising from campaign finance matters, the Whitewater investigation, the Travel Office investigation, the Monica Lewinsky case, and the pardons issued by the president at the end of his second term.

The story of Castle Fun Park goes all the way back to a backyard in Kelowna in 1979 when a young father with a background in construction literally started building castles on his lawn. Hank Wiebe was eager to become his own boss, so he and his wife Doreen took a big gamble and decided to try their hands at building an amusement park. Going in with several friends and business partners, they were able to get Scandia in Kelowna up and running in 1981.
After several years in Kelowna, the couple decided to sell their share in Scandia and take another gamble, buying a piece of land on what was then the outskirts of Abbotsford. Starting small – with just an outdoor golf and about 50 video games – they opened the doors of Wonderland in July of 1989. Shortly thereafter, the Jungle Golf was opened, and then, bit by bit, they dreamed up new attractions.
In 1998, the family received a fax from an amusement park in Ontario stating that they were infringing on the park's naming rights. (While they had secured the rights to the name in BC, the other park had secured national rights to the name "Wonderland.") The family was given 24 hours to change their business' name. They were going to call it Castle Park, but their 7-year-old granddaughter insisted that the name did not adequately describe how FUN it was. Hence, the name Castle Fun Park was born.
Still owned and operated by the same family, Castle Fun Park has now been bringing fun to families in the Fraser Valley for 30 years!

So long as Hamilton doesn't lose solely because of double points (i.e. he would've won normally) I'll be happy.
Hamilton fastest in both practice session, and more importantly, he was faster that Rosberg in the race simulations of both soft and super soft tyres during FP2.
I have this awful feeling summat will go wrong with Hamilton's car.
JLP wrote: I have this awful feeling summat will go wrong with Hamilton's car.
Same. Either that or Rosberg will punt him off at the first corner and go on to win the race himself. Hopefully this doesn't happen though and we see a clean fight!
Bad Guy wrote: Same. Either that or Rosberg will punt him off at the first corner and go on to win the race himself. Hopefully this doesn't happen though and we see a clean fight!
Would that stand though? I know it's happened in the past, but I get the feeling something like that would not go unpunished in this day and age.
He will be given a 10 second stop/go, but considering the speed of the Mercedes, that probably won't mean much.
Well Rosberg on pole, Hamilton 2nd. Now I can see Rosberg backing Lewis into the Williams in the first corner, hopefully Bottas and Massa are clever enough not to get involved too much.
Also think that Rosberg will win the title now.
Not over yet. Hamilton likes a scrap. Should be a great race. Hope it ends safely.
Bad Guy wrote: Also think that Rosberg will win the title now.
Nah, 9 times out of 10 Hamilton's been by far the better man on track. Barring mechanical misfortune I'm pretty sure hell take it.
Gutted for Rosberg, but bravo Hamilton. You deserved it.
So happy for Williams too.
Congrats to Hammy! 11 wins in one season, and champion! Nice.

Who are the Mason Neck Lions?
The Mason Neck Lions Club is group of men and women who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes in the Mason Neck and Lorton areas. By conducting service projects and raising funds, we strive to help the less fortunate, wherever the need exists. We assist primarily in the areas of sight and hearing. Our motto is "We serve."
The Mason Neck Lions are one of over 45,000 clubs and almost 1.4 million members worldwide. In 1925 Helen Keller addressed the Lions at their International Convention challenging them to become "Knights of the Blind in the crusade against darkness." Since that time, service to the blind and visually impaired has become on of the associations most significant activity. We work with the Lorton Community Action Center and we provide eye exams and eyeglasses for those needing assistance.
In our continuing effort to serve the Mason Neck and Lorton Community, the Mason Neck Lions Club provides a telephone Help Line. Although the primary mission of the Lions Club is the area of sight, hearing and diabetes, all Lions are committed to assist everyone in the community that requires help.
