Akpabio Remains APC Candidate For Senatorial Rerun, Says INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has maintained that Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, remains the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District rerun on January 25.
The clarification was made by Festus Okoye, INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, in an interview on Tuesday.
Akpabio and the APC had lost the February 28, 2019 election to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but the Court of Appeal ordered a rerun following a petition by the former.
Following his appointment as a minister by President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC had attempted to substitute Akpabio with another member of the party, Ekperikpe Ekpo, for the rerun.
But Okoye insisted that the period for the substitution of candidates had elapsed and that the APC will have to field the minister as its candidate.
"The commission has consistently maintained that only duly nominated candidates that contested the nullified election are eligible to contest the court-ordered rerun election. There is no room for withdrawal or substitution at this point.
"The votes of the parties in places not affected by the rerun are warehoused and on hold for integration with the votes that will be harvested during the rerun.
"Only candidates and political parties that contested the nullified election will be on the ballot. New political parties and candidates cannot be admitted into the contest.
"However, if any of the candidates passes on before the election, the commission will postpone the election and allow the party whose candidate died the opportunity to replace the candidate," Okoye told the Punch.
Similarly, a letter by INEC's Secretary, Mrs Rose Oriraran-Anthony, to the APC also read, "Your letter dated December 10, 2019 wherein you forwarded nomination forms of one Ekperikpe Luke Ekpo as a substitute candidate of your party for the court-ordered rerun refers.
"Please note that the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2019 general elections has November 17, 2018, as the last day for the withdrawal/substitution of candidates for the 2019 National Assembly elections, and the said period has lapsed.
"Further, the said rerun election is to be conducted amongst the same political parties and the candidates who participated in the nullified election.
"Consequent upon the above, the commission cannot accede to your request and Senator Godswill Akpabio remains the candidate of the APC for the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District court-ordered re-run election."

Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. However, when mutations occur within these genes, they cause an increased risk for several specific types of cancer, such as hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (HBOC).
If either your mother or your father has a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, you have a 50% chance of having the same gene mutation. Patients with a BRCA mutation have a significantly increased risk of developing breast, ovarian, endometrial, prostate or other types of cancer. However, if you have a genetic mutation, it doesn't necessarily mean you will develop cancer; it just means that you are at an increased risk.
Genetic testing is available through GoPath Laboratories for individuals thought to be at an increased risk for hereditary cancer. We not only test for BRCA 1/2 genes, but also genes that have been associated with BRCA-related cancers such as BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK2 and TP53. With assistance from a genetic counselor, your physician, and risk assessment tools found on this website, you will be able to determine if BRCAnow® testing is right for you.
BRCA mutations can occur in both men and women and can be found in any race or ethnic group. The occurrence of mutation in the United States is about 1 in 500. However, in some ethnic groups like the Ashkenazi Jewish population, the risk of carrying a BRCA mutation increases to 1 in 40. See table below.
Reference: Petrucelli N, Daly MB, Feldman GL. BRCA1 and BRCA2 Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. 2013 Sep 26.
The U.S. Preventative Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that primary care providers offer BRCA1/2 screening for women who have family members with breast, ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal cancer to identify family history associated with increased risk of potentially harmful mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1 or BRCA2).
The USPSTF also recommends against routine genetic counseling or BRCA testing for women whose family history is not associated with an increased risk of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2.
Reviewing your family history with your physician is the first step in determining whether BRCAnow® testing is appropriate and beneficial. Your physician will review your family history and risk assessment with you and if applicable, provide a referral to GoPath's genetic counselor for further consultation and next steps. Once a determination is made that the BRCAnow® test is recommended based on your physician evaluation and genetic counselor assessment, you will be asked to sign an Informed Consent to begin the process of genetic testing at GoPath Laboratories.

Q: Ubuntu Guest in VirtualBox crashes occasionally - does this do any damage to my hard drive?
*

*Host OS: Windows 7

*Guest OS: Ubuntu 11.04

*Processor: 3 (total 4)

*Base Memory 3G

*Video Memory 128MB

*3D acceleration: YES

My Ubuntu crashes occasionally. Should I run any scandisk / check disk on Windows or Ubuntu to check if the crash causes any damage to hard drive?
Most of the time I just reset the machine and relaunch the VM. So far it works well, I am just worried this can cause the crash happens more and more often.

A: As long as the crash is software-related (as in, you didn't drop your machine from the kitchen table), there is no harm done to the hard drive itself.
What causes boot issues after crashes is the fact that certain files have been corrupted due to incomplete writing. Put simple, say your Ubuntu machine was writing to a configuration file that is being read at boot time, but when the write was halfway, it crashed. This causes an incomplete file to reside on disk, so next time you boot, you might have an issue because the system doesn't know what to do with this half-baked data.
Note that this is not physical damage in any way: as long as the crash was caused by software errors (e.g. BSODs) or the power or reset buttons, nothing is likely to go wrong. What can cause issues are voltage spikes like those caused by removing the power cord or lighting strikes, or plainly dropping your laptop.
Regarding the effect from the guest OS to the host: as long as the Ubuntu guest does not touch any files belonging to the Windows host (via shared folders and such), these issues will only effect the guest, and never the host.

Jonjo Shelvey wants chance to impress in Liverpool FC's FA Cup clash against Oldham
NEWS that Oldham Athletic have pulled out all the stops to ensure Sunday's FA Cup tie with Liverpool goes ahead was music to Jonjo Shelvey's ears.
North Wales Live
The Latics' groundstaff have been busy shifting tonnes of snow off Boundary Park and a protective "bubble" has been installed to pump in hot air to thaw out the frozen pitch.
Shelvey is desperate to put the frustration of recent weeks behind him and use the fourth-round clash with the League One outfit to impress boss Brendan Rodgers.
After enjoying a run of five successive Premier League starts in December, the 20-year-old midfielder has spent the past four league showdowns warming the bench.
His only action so far in 2013 came in the last round against Mansfield but he is set to earn a recall for the short trip to Oldham.
"I'm really looking forward to Sunday and if I start then I've got to take my chance," he said.
"I haven't played in the league since the defeat at Stoke on Boxing Day. That wasn't a great game for me personally but the team didn't play well either.
"Since then I'm the one who has suffered a bit with coming out of the team but you have to accept it.
"It's the manager's decision and I'm just working hard every day to try to get back in the team.
"I know I'm still young and I've played in 26 games already this season but that's not enough, I want to play more.
"I've been a bit ill this week but I'll be fine for Sunday and if I get some game-time I need to prove myself."
Shelvey has been Mr Versatile for the Reds so far this term. As well as playing in his favoured central midfield role, Rodgers has utilised his talents out wide and further forward as a second striker.
He has even led the line on occasions – grabbing the winner away to West Ham when in the absence of the suspended Luis Suarez he was asked to perform the false No 9 role.
"It's been good experience for me and it's helped me develop as a player," Shelvey said.
"When you look at the likes of Steven Gerrard, he has always played in a variety of different positions.
"I'm not comparing myself to him, but it shows that it's good experience that will help me later on down the line in my career.
"Eventually I want to play centre midfield as I want to be more in the thick of things, but I'm happy playing further up the pitch and at the moment the manager sees me as a more attacking player.
"This is Liverpool Football Club so I'd play left-back if it meant getting a game. If the team is struggling for a left winger or a No 10 or a striker, the manager knows I can fill in there."
After having to dig deep to get past non-league outfit Mansfield, Shelvey says the Reds are braced for another test of character on the road.
Paul Dickov's struggling Oldham side are 19th in League One and have suffered three straight league defeats since they enjoyed a shock 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest in the last round.
But Shelvey insists that will count for nothing come Sunday afternoon as the Latics look to give a sell-out 10,600 crowd something to shout about.
"We came through a tricky tie at Mansfield where winning was the most important thing. The pitch wasn't great and there was a noisy atmosphere and Sunday will be a similar kind of game," he added.
"When you are playing in the FA Cup, I don't think league form comes into it at all. You can be top of the Premier League and it doesn't matter.
"This is a one-off game and it's a big day for Oldham. Their players might not get the chance to play against Liverpool again and they will want to make the most of it. The atmosphere will be lively and the adrenaline will be pumping.
"It's only down the road so you've got that bit of rivalry between the Mancs and the Scousers thrown in.
"It will be a tough game and we have to go there and be professional. If we do our jobs our ability should see us through."

Nan Yik-Pong, better known by his stage name Pong Nan (; born 15 May 1978), is a Cantopop musician, singer-songwriter and actor in Hong Kong of Hakka ancestry.

Life and career

1978–2004: Early life and career beginnings
In 1989, amid mass migrations due to unclear handover situation to China situation, at the age of 11, Nan and his family immigrated to Canada. Pong attended Centennial middle school followed by Georgetown District High School in Halton Hills.  In 1993, Nan returned to Hong Kong and entered La Salle College to continue his studies until Form Six. Then he studied international politics and culture at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., United States. He went to Waseda University in Japan for exchange in Year 3. After graduation in 2000, he returned to Hong Kong and worked as an office salesperson, while being a part-time musician for Harbour City and Fringe Club. During this time, he released some of his music online via MP3.com, and he composed Sound from Above 樓上來的聲音 for Jacky Cheung and Mad about You for Joey Yung. He was also the lyricist for Yung's Hill of Memories 舊日回憶的山丘.

2004–07: Sony Era – The Unadorable Pong Nan 不要人見人愛, Almost Happy 無非想快樂 and The Sounds of Tide 潮騷  and music director of Andy Lau

2008–09: Restart of career – East Asia Music and Nan/Blue 藍, Yik 奕 and Pong 邦
Nan made his comeback a year after and joined East Asia Music in 2008. He released 3 consecutive EP albums namely Nan/Blue 藍, Yik 奕 and Pong 邦 depicting his early childhood and adulthood before beginning his singer-songwriter career.

2010–11: Upheaval change in style – Every Night Is Saturday Night 晚晚禮拜六 and A Wonderful Sight 好風光

2012–13: Grace and Beauty 優與美
2012 and 2013 were considered relatively successful period for Nan, as his digital single Cheers 為執著乾杯, released in 2012 summer, received his first ever number-one in the music charts (903 and TVB). The song encouraged positive thinking and more importantly highlighted his challenges against all the criticisms through his musical career. The song was even used as one theme song in the September protests against Moral and national education after release. Besides, retro electro You Are So London, I Am So New York 你倫敦,我紐約 and piano based Let's go to Alaska 一起去阿拉斯加 also went top of the charts.

In recognition of his outstanding results, Nan received the Cash Best Singer-songwriter Award at 36th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award Presentation Ceremony.

2014–present: Marking 10 years of singer career – Cinepoly and Caress 撫愛
In May 2014, Nan took part in 903 id club concert with Miriam Yeung, Alfred Hui and Adason Lo. Afterwards, he joined Cinepoly to mark his 10th anniversary of career in June. Nan participated his company debut concert Universal Music Summer Hits Concert with fellow singers Eric Suen, Kary Ng, Kelvin Kwan in late June. At the same time, Nan released his debut song Love me then Kiss me 愛我就吻我. It became a hit and reached top three in RTHK, 903 and Metro charts. Subsequently, Nan held his personal debut concert Soliton Presents Pong Nan CARESS Live in August 2014 which he performed songs of his upcoming first Cinepoly album Caress 撫愛. Kary Ng appeared as a guest singer.
The album was released later in September. Caress 撫愛 is Nan's first ever love album, which marked his change in personal thinking. He decided to embrace love, an aspect he was afraid to talk about before. His another song of the album, Lover 戀人, topped TVB, 903 and Metro charts, his first record in his 10-year career. Besides, it was successfully acclaimed by critics as well as commercially popular with over 10,000 copies sold in 3 months. It was then certified as gold record by HKRIA.

However, citing his neck injury, he decided to sideline and take rest until full recovery in late 2014. Nan returned to the scene in 2015 summer after 6 months of rest and would perform in Summer Pop Live in Hong Kong 2015 together with Ivana Wong, Adason Lo, Robynn and Kendy and Justin Lo

A well-executed visual identity immediately establishes impact and a high level of credibility. It also becomes a lifelong asset to an organization. People recognize all sorts of brands, but they only become attached to strong distinctive ones. Our goal in developing an identity is to create symbols that illuminate and influence, capturing the many sensations and experiences that surround a brand in its current form and as it evolves through the marketplace.


Kids nowadays can be very rude if not disciplined well. As early as two years old, parents should gradually teach their child some manners, especially on respecting elders.
I have happened to read an article, which authored by Dr. David Lowry, on what manners should every kid mastered at age of 9. I agree on him that while some moms and dads become too busy in the hustle and bustle of daily life, focusing on the everyday etiquette of their kids, unfortunately, has been neglected.
I find the list very useful so I am also sharing this to our readers. The illustrations below was made by Jessie Ford. The list was also published in the March 2011 edition of Parents magazine.
Hope you could find them effective too!

Operation Wonder Park is a go! Check out the new WONDER PARK trailer below, and mark your calendar for its release in theaters on March 15th!. This post is in partnership with Paramount Pictures. All opinions are my own.
If you can imagine it, you can ride it. That's the magical idea behind Paramount Picture's newest animation WONDER PARK, with the voice talents of Jennifer Garner, Matthew Broderick, John Oliver, Mila Kunis, Kenan Thompson, Ken Jeong, Norbert Leo Butz, Brianna Denski and Ken Hudson Campbell.
One magical day, June is running through the woods to find her way home where she discovers an old rollercoaster car and climbs inside. She suddenly finds herself in Wonderland, an amusement park she had created in her mind and put aside. All of her rides and characters are brought to life but are falling into disarray without her.
I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, my imagination ran wild! I always had this crazy idea where I could build my own playhouse. I would collect wood from around the neighborhood and sneak into my dad's toolbox to borrow his hammer and nails. My vision was always grand!
I probably don't have to tell you that my playhouse never came to fruition, but I had a lot of fun trying to build it! I actually think that's what sparked my desire to become an engineer.
Looking back, I admire all the creativity I had as a kid. I want my daughter to have those same crazy aspirations– and even if she doesn't succeed, it's that spark of creative energy that sticks with you!
I'm excited to see WONDER PARK with my family when it debuts in theaters on March 15 –– Remember, you're never too old to let your imagination run wild!
WONDER PARK is fun, creative, full of imagination, and a must-see family film!

Diver Dies During Rescue Efforts for Cave-Trapped Thai Boys
By Mindy Weisberger 06 July 2018
The body of Saman Gunan, a former Thai navy SEAL who died during an overnight mission, is carried during a repatriation and religious rites ceremony at Chiang Rai Airport in Mae Sai, Chiang Rai province, in northern Thailand.

Rescue efforts for a Thai soccer team trapped in a cave complex recently took a tragic turn: A former Thai navy diver died after running out of air while delivering oxygen tanks to the 12 boys and their coach underground.
Retired Petty Officer Saman Gunan (also reported as "Kunan") was delivering air tanks to the stranded boys and their coach, who are in a subterranean chamber with oxygen levels running low, the BBC reported.
To reach the boys, Gunan and other divers had to navigate recently flooded passageways in the Tham Luang cave complex, where the children have already been trapped for close to two weeks. But Gunan ran out of air on the way back to the surface. He was found unresponsive at 1 a.m. local time today (July 6) and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died without regaining consciousness, according to the Bangkok Post. [The 7 Longest Caves in the World]
Though Gunan had retired from navy service and was currently employed as an airport security officer, he volunteered to help rescue the boys and their coach, and he was one of 28 navy officers on the scene who are trained as specialists on sea, air and land (SEAL), the Bangkok Post reported. Gunan, an experienced diver, was placing oxygen tanks along a proposed exit route for the team, but his oxygen supply ran out as he navigated back to safety, according to The Washington Post.
Even as Gunan's tragic death is mourned, rescue efforts for the trapped boys continue. Early this morning, ITV News in the U.K. tweeted a video of the rescue team in the tunnels, captured by a helmet camera. In the harrowing footage, rescuers progressed slowly in single file through low-ceilinged and flooded passageways where water in some places reached above their shoulders, gripping a lifeline attached to the cave wall overhead.
Getting the boys out of the flooded cave system will require outfitting them with diving gear, but some of the children trapped in the cave are as young as 11, and none can swim, Live Science previously reported. (For the diving part of the escape, the kids will be assisted by adult divers and won't need to swim in the traditional sense.)
Estimates from officials in Thailand had previously suggested that transporting everyone safely out of the cave complex could mean waiting as long as four months until the rainy season ended, according to the BBC. But with heavy monsoon rains expected on Sunday, waiting may no longer be an option, Rear Adm. Apakorn Yookongkaew, Thailand's navy SEAL commander, told the BBC.
"At first, we thought the children could stay for a long time," Yookongkaew said. "But now things have changed; we have a limited time."

Introducing Quadratics - Set The Hook.
Students will use a quadratic function to determine elements of a parabolic curve from a graph as measured by completed class activity.
NOTE: This is just an introduction of a lesson for quadratics!
Before teaching the lesson for graphing quadratics and identifying their characteristics, check out this site. Dan Meyer is a great math mind that has a full curriculum for Algebra 1. You may or may not be able to use all of what he has to offer on his site, but it's worth checking out regardless.
Also before teaching the lesson, have someone take video of you replicating what Dan is doing in his post. Using the basic camera app on the iPad, you can take video of the shot (make sure it's a decent shot!). After taking the video, you can easily scroll back through the video and choose parts of the shot that you would like to take stills of to show the class. To take a screenshot, simply hold down the sleep button and home button simultaneously for 1-2 seconds.
Am I going to make it? Can you draw me the path of a shot that will make it? That will miss it?
Aside from a few outliers, your students will sketch a parabolic curve to represent the shot that you have attempted. Ideally, the students will do this in two different diagrams rather than two sketches on one diagram. Have students talk about their sketches and compare them with one another. Using the ShowMe app, have students sketch out their ideas on the parabolic curve it would take. Using student critique as a reference, students can come pretty close to being accurate.
This will certainly consume the majority of the period. If you would like a reference, each of the terms above link to an online algebra dictionary that gives better definitions than I'm able to muster up.
For credit, check to make sure that students have correctly labeled their graphs. An easy way to check work without spending a lot of time is to use FiLMiC Pro and quickly walk around the room to "record" each student's work. Make sure that each student has their name on the paper. During your prep or after class, you can easily watch the video to make sure that each student has completed the required work for the period without having to collect anything other than a 30-45 second video.
Using the ShowMe app, create a tutorial like the one below that demonstrates a real-life application of a parabolic curve that students can relate to. Label each part of the object and show it to the students prior to them leaving for the day.
Have students brainstorm where they might see a parabola. Common answers are McDonalds, the top of a shoe, and some basic structures. Pick one of them and search for (or already have one in your camera roll!) their correlation. Using the picture that you have imported into ShowMe, have students follow along to label each part of the parabola in the image(s).
Have students do scenario 2 instead of you... It works!
If a student (or pair of students) finish early, they can quickly and easily create a ShowMe and have it posted so that the class can use it as a reference!

University Establishes Scholarship in Honour of Education Minister
Written by: Douglas Mcintosh
Photo: Adrian Walker
Education, Youth and Information Minister, Senator the Hon. Ruel Reid (left), shakes the hand of BAU International University Board member, Paul Brunson, following the recent signing of a $378.2-million (US$3-million) three-year Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry and the institution, for the provision of undergraduate and graduate scholarships for student teachers. The signing took place at The Mico University College in Kingston. The occasion was also used to announce the establishment of a scholarship in Senator Reid's honour. Others (from third left) are the Ministry's newly appointed International Donor Consultant for the Jamaican diaspora in the United States, Gail Dunwell, and Mico President, Dr. Asburn Pinnock.

Students Invited to Enter E-Learning Jamaica Christmas Jingle Contest
The BAU International University in Washington DC has established a scholarship in honour of Education, Youth and Information Minister, Senator the Hon. Ruel Reid.
Mr. Brunson said the scholarship is open to any Jamaican student desirous of pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies, either in the United States or any of BAU Global Network's campuses in Germany, Italy and Turkey, among other locations.
BAU University Board member, Paul Brunson, said the Ruel Reid Scholarship is to "pay homage and respect to Senator Reid for leading the process".
The decision to set up the 'Ruel Reid Transformational Leadership Scholarship' was taken by the University to recognise Senator Reid's lead role in arriving at a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry and the University for the provision of 107 scholarships, over three years, worth $378.2 million (US$3 million).
These scholarships are available to student teachers to pursue undergraduate and graduate programmes at any of the tertiary institution's campuses globally.
The surprise announcement, which was made during the MOU's recent signing at The Mico University College in Kingston, left Senator Reid at a loss for words and saw him welcoming the gesture with an elated "I'm speechless!".
The MOU, resulting from the discussions between Senator Reid and Mr. Brunson, whose grandfather was Jamaican, between 2016 and earlier this year, will additionally see the University hiring 200 English language teachers for its global network of schools for the 2018/19 academic year.
Jamaica's Ambassador to the United States, Her Excellency Audrey Marks, and the Ministry's newly appointed International Donor Consultant for the Jamaican Diaspora in the US, Gail Dunwell, who works closely with the National Education Trust, were also instrumental in initiating the partnership.
Senator Reid, in welcoming the MOU, conveyed the Government's gratitude to BAU University.
"I have had the opportunity of meeting different segments of the Jamaican diaspora (who) are always very interested in what is happening in Jamaica, and particularly how they can assist our education programme. We are very grateful for the strength of the Jamaican connection," the Minister said.
"There are Jamaicans in very prestigious positions all over the world, and wherever they are able to influence certain decisions, we find that they always step up to the plate," he added.
Mr. Brunson said the initiative's genesis dates back 10 years when he first met his grandfather.
He said the knowledge of his heritage was the primary reason for seeking out how best he could make a tangible and meaningful contribution to Jamaica.
Against this background, Mr. Brunson said he made representation to the University's administration and successfully lobbied their support in March 2016, which resulted in the MOU's forging.
"So for all these reasons and more, I am excited and I am proud. This is only the beginning of this relationship," he added.
President of The Mico, Dr. Asburn Pinnock, said the initiative is a "perfect fit" with the Government's focus for education.
"I think this will go a far way in building our resources as we try to graduate more persons in Jamaica from tertiary education," he argued.
BAU International University is a private, non-profit institution that offers undergraduate and graduate programmes in economics, international affairs, entrepreneurship, global affairs, and international law and economics.
The BAU Global Network, which spans three continents, has been providing higher education for over 15 years through its campuses, which are also located in Canada and Hong Kong.
Its flagship campus is Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul, Turkey, which has eight faculties, a school of languages, and two vocational schools.

Russia preparing for three-stage easing of coronavirus restrictions
By Andrey Ostroukh, Alexander Marrow
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia plans to ease its restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the novel coronavirus in three stages, officials said on Wednesday.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the outbreak had stabilised in the past two weeks, with the growth in cases in the capital explained by increased testing. But he said the public should keep observing self-isolation measures even when some restrictions are eased from May 12.
Russia's total number of coronavirus cases rose on Wednesday by more than 10,000 for the fourth consecutive day to 165,929, while the death toll climbed to 1,537.
Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova became the latest high-ranking official and third cabinet minister to be diagnosed with the coronavirus.
In a televised video conference with government officials and regional heads, President Vladimir Putin lent his support to the three-stage plan for reducing restrictions. He said Russia should not rush, however, as any haste in removing preventative measures could undo their impact so far.
At first, people will be allowed to go for walks and exercise on the streets, said Anna Popova, head of the consumer health regulator Rospotrebnadzor, but she gave no specific time frame.
The second stage would see educational establishments and some service-sector businesses return to operation, with recreational facilities including parks and squares then reopening in the third stage, she said.
PUTIN APPROVAL SLIPS
Despite Russia's ostensible success in protecting its most vulnerable citizens from the coronavirus, the government has been criticised for failing to provide families and businesses with enough support amid the economic shutdown.
Putin's approval rating has slipped to its lowest level in more than two decades during the coronavirus crisis, even as support for his plan to extend his rule for years ahead has risen, a Levada-Centre poll showed.
The authorities are looking for ways to cushion an economic contraction exacerbated by a global slump in the price of oil, Russia's key export, as well as the coronavirus outbreak.
In 2020, the economy may shrink up to 6%, the central bank predicted last month, when it slashed interest its rates and pledged more cuts to the cost of lending later this year.
Loan arrears and bad loans in Russia are expected to grow this year. People and companies deemed the most vulnerable to the current crisis owe banks around 19 trillion roubles ($250 billion) - a third of the banks' overall credit portfolio.
($1 = 74.6500 roubles)

Yes. Just to ensure that we are all aware that you're here in that capacity, and you have a duty upon you to represent the interests of the accused.
When we adjourned yesterday, I had indicated there was a possibility that some of my learned colleagues may have questions of the Prosecution, and before inviting any address by the Defence, those would be dealt with. And I will now clarify if there are questions.
Justice Sebutinde has a couple of questions, I understand.

Chief Justice Hecht, Judge Kocurek to push for more courthouse security
February 19, 2016 ~ Eva Ruth
Outside of a hearing at the Texas Capitol on judicial salaries, Nathan Hecht, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, spoke to me about a problem plaguing Texas judges: fear.
He said that judges who took a recent Office of Court Administration survey "overwhelmingly" reported that they fear personal harm because of decisions made on the bench.
Travis County District Judge Julie Kocurek
The November shooting of Travis County Judge Julie Kocurek prompted the survey, to which 43 percent of the state's judges responded, according to OCA spokesman David Slayton.
About 38 percent of the respondents "indicated feeling afraid for their personal safety at work in the past two years," Slayton said.
During the survey period – from Jan. 22 to Feb. 5 – 10 percent of respondents experienced that fear at least four times, and 7.4 percent "reported feeling afraid for their safety every day." Almost 40 percent of judges who reported feeling afraid blamed their fear on a written or verbal threat.
About 43 percent of the judges who responded feared for their safety away from work in the past five years, Slayton said, with 10 percent reporting that occurrence at least four times during the survey week and 4 percent reporting being afraid outside of work every day.
To address this fear, Hecht said he plans to push the 85th legislature to better secure courthouses and "ask for more personal security for judges in their homes," he said.
Joining him at the Capitol will be Kocurek, Travis County's presiding felony judge, who was shot in November outside of her home. She was released from the hospital on Christmas Day and has yet to return to work, a family spokesman said. Even so, Hecht said, Kocurek told him in a meeting Wednesday that she wanted to be a part of Hecht's efforts.
"She's gone through literally hell, and her family has gone through hell," Hecht said. "She's going to carry all of this with her the rest of her life, but she's very strong."
Hecht said Kocurek, who's served on the bench for 17 years, could easily retire now.
"She told me that she was determined not to," Hecht said during the Thursday hearing, "because she didn't want anybody to think that you could drive a judge from a bench by threatening lives."
* the OCA report findings will be released in a few weeks, spokesman David Slayton said.

One thought on "Chief Justice Hecht, Judge Kocurek to push for more courthouse security"
Reb Wayne says:
It is ironic somewhat that the response to her shooting at her home is more protection at the courthouse???


The Angel Answers Oracle is a 44-card deck for simple, clear and unambiguous advice. The cards have pretty illustrations of angels plus straightforward advice at the base of the card. The deck can be used alone or to enhance readings with other decks.
We have all been there � consulting the cards for what is essentially a simple question requiring a simple answer, and receiving a complex and nebulous answer. The Angel Answers Oracle Cards puts paid to all that with its elegantly simple premise � 44 cards of concise and unambiguous answers. Aside from the obvious 'Yes 'and �No�, other answers such as 'Not the Right Time', 'Take Action', 'Don't Stop', 'There's Something Better' are fairly typical of the deck. The genius of this oracle is that it can be used on its own or with virtually any other divinatory system, and can give clarity to any reading.
This 44 card deck has no Arcana or suits. It measures 90 x 128 mm, which makes it a little broader than many standard tarot decks and slightly smaller than many oracle decks. The ca... read more reviews.
Back Design: Angel holding the world in her hands, wearing a headdress of butterflies.
Companion Material: 96-page companion book is packaged with the deck.

Q: how to find recursive function name list in a c++ project I want to find out all recursive functions's name in a c++ project which have many files.
Is there any IDE or scripts can do this?

A: I'm afraid that you'd have to write your own script for this, and it's not quite trivial.  You need to recognize the start and end of a function as well as a function call.  That part isn't awful.  However, you need to maintain a stack of nested functions, so you always know the innermost function at this parsing point.  Whenever you find a call to the innermost function, you report that you've found recursion.
The minorly tricky case is something like this:
int func_a() {
    ...
    int func_b() {
        ...
        result = func_a()
    }

    recur = func_a()

The first call is not recursive; the second one is.  The nesting can get deeper -- you have to count braces outside of literal strings -- add 1 for a left brace, subtract one for a right brace, and check the total for the "brace-nesting" number of the innermost function on your stack.
Does that help move you toward a solution?

A: It is not as easy as others may think.

*

*A function call can be inside a double-quoted string or a comment, so you may want to remove these.  When removing strings (or maybe replacing them by the word 0STRING), you should search for matching double quote. Be aware of \\ and \" tokens.

*Even after you removed all these, finding function start, end, and call can be a challenge. Take into account template functions, for example.  Also, f(a b){g(b);} is not neccessarily a function, if there is a macro f.  Maybe you want to take this to account too.

*Also:
The following function is recursive
class A {
    F(int x) {
        // ...
        A::F(y);
    }
}

while the following is not
class A {
    F(int x) {
        // ...
        B::F(y);
    }
}

Same about namespaces.  Namespace qualifier, like class qualifier, may or may not make the function non-recursive.
You may want to create the cross reference links table with crange, and then process it with awk.


It's back to the attic today for another family photo. Today I'm featuring a photo of my great-grandparents' family at home. I believe this photo may have been taken at their home at 301 East Scott Street in Gainesville, Texas. My grandmother, Marymac, is on the far left with her arm around her mother's shoulder.
I'm a few days behind....just read the triathlon post. WOW! Our son does those down in TX & his weakness is the swimming. He has also done 'Mud Challenges' & the pictures he sent are pretty messy.
Great photo. Four girls! I have a son and a daughter. I love them both, but I cannot imagine four girls in the house! Your great grandmother must have had tremendous patience. Only one of the girls would not comply with the hairstyle?
Great picture, love the 20s/30s hairstyles of the girls, and the fact that the dolls are also part of the family.
I tried to match this picture with the other ones using the 'Old Family Photos' tag; it's becoming quite an interesting collection!
I always wonder about these photos. the quality of composition, lighting etc suggests a professional photographer, but do you think he would have visited the home?
Judi, my wife did a mud run once - fun but messy.
Mary, from everything I heard, this home was filled with a lot of love and laughter, but four girls is a lot to handle even in the best of conditions.
Virgil, I don't know what the motto is supposed to be. I wish I did.
Rob, you're right, I've almost got a collection going now. Just to keep you up to speed, from left to right, is Marymac, Mary, Dorothy, Marguerite, E. S., and Jane. Three of the four girls became missionaries. Marguerite went to China, Dorothy to Lebanon, and Jane to Mexico.
Brett, this photo has always been interesting to me. The family appears too dressed up and stiff for it to be an amateur photographer. I think it must have been a professional who came to the house.
From experience, I agree that four girls is something of a handful. With two demanding dolls as well, oh dear.
My wife, part of whose family is from Lebanon, had a great aunt who was a nun near Beirut somewhere.
The original format of the photograph may have clues as to whether it was a professional photographer.
