We often associate food recalls with harmful and contaminated products but manufacturers actually issue recalls for a variety of reasons. Companies sometimes issue recalls because of suspected, but not confirmed, contamination or other quality control issues. Other times, they issue recalls because a regulatory agency disapproves of certain ingredients. When recalls occur without confirmed contamination, food companies and their insurers often debate whether the recalled item suffers "property damage" as defined by the policy.
Consider, for instance, the recent decision in Netherlands Ins. Co. v. Main St. Ingredients, LLC, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 2685 (D. Minn. Jan. 8, 2013). In 2007, Main Street Ingredients ("MSI") purchased instant milk from Plainview Milk Products Cooperative ("Plainview") and resold it to Malt-O-Meal ("MOM") for incorporation into MOM's instant oatmeal. The FDA detected unsanitary conditions and salmonella at Plainview's manufacturing facility in 2009, prompting Plainview's recall of products dating back to 2007. This forced MOM to recall its instant oatmeal even though no contamination or salmonella were ever detected in the milk supplied by MSI. MOM sued MSI seeking damages related to its oatmeal recall including recovery for destroyed inventory, credits and fees to customers, and recall freight.
MSI tendered the complaint to its liability insurer, Netherlands, which agreed to defend subject to a reservation of rights. After the underlying claim settled for $1.4 million, Netherlands filed a declaratory judgment action against MSI.
On cross-motions for summary judgment, the court ruled in favor of MSI, finding that MOM's complaint alleged covered property damage because the inability to lawfully distribute products due to an FDA regulation constitutes an "impairment of function and value." The court also ruled that the "your product," "product recall," and "impaired property" exclusions did not apply.
The court rejected Netherlands' argument that no property damage existed because the instant milk never actually tested positive for salmonella in the underlying action. Netherlands based their unsuccessful argument on Source Food Technology, Inc. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 465 F.3d 834 (8th Cir. 2006). In Source Food, the Eighth Circuit Court held that the insured's inability to import its beef due to a U.S.D.A. embargo on Canadian beef did not amount to "direct physical loss," and therefore related damages fell outside of business interruption coverage. The Netherlands court distinguished its facts from those in Source Food. It reasoned that the policy language in Source Food more restrictively required "direct physical loss" instead of "physical injury," and that the insured in Source Food conceded the beef was not contaminated whereas here the oatmeal included instant milk manufactured in unsanitary conditions.
Importantly, the court also ruled that Netherlands had to pay for consequential damages resulting from the recall. The court required Netherlands to indemnify MSI for the third party property damage to the instant oatmeal as well as damages MSI must pay because of the property damage—i.e., MOM's recall costs. In so ruling, the court stated that the CGL policy needed to contain specific language in order to exclude consequential damages from a covered occurrence.
What constitutes "property damage" under a liability policy can be a complex determination because manufacturers sometimes recall and subsequently destroy their products even when contamination or actual damage is unconfirmed. The ruling in Netherlands reflects that court's broad interpretation of the "property damage" definition and gives further credence to the "impaired function and value" test adopted in Minnesota. Minnesota's particularly developed case law addressing this is instructive of how other jurisdictions may rule on these coverage issues.

Q: object inside a function?, function inside a function? i need to understand Node, and express 0
I have a question, what contains the function express()? , because i cannot understand how you call a function if you store express() in a variable like: const app = express();
and then you call , for example, the function listen() like if was an object:
app.listen()
can you guys help me to understand?
thanks in advance

A: Functions in Javascript are objects.  You can assign them to variables.  You can execute them by calling them.  You can assign properties to them.  You can read properties from them.
So, this is assigning a function to a variable (assigns the module.exports from the 'express' module to a variable named express):
const express = require('express');

This is executing the function by calling it:
const app = express();

This is accessing the .static property on the express function (which can also be a function):
app.use(express.static('/public'));

As another example, all regular functions have some built in properties:
function greet(greeting) {
    console.log(greeting);
}

// outputs 1 because the function has one declared argument
console.log(greet.length);

But, you can also add your own properties if you want since functions are a sub-class of an object.

A: Objects can have methods. Methods are really just functions. Sometimes those methods return something, and other times they don't. Sometimes you care about the result, and sometimes you don't.
const myObj = {
  add: (a, b) => a+b;
  echo: (msg) => console.log(msg);
}

const result = myObj.add(1,2);
myObj.echo(result);

A: A function nested inside another cannot be called directly from outside of the outside function.
However, an inner function can be made accessible if a global reference is made to it.
In my snipped example, outerFunction contains two innerFunctions followed by two variable declarations that assign those functions to each of two variables (named outerFunction.innerFunction1 and outerFunction.innerFunction2). Had these been declared with let or const inside the outer function, they would be accessible only from within the function. However, declaring a variable by name only, gives it global scope.
So, if outerFunction is invoked, it places the inner functions into the global scope. They can now be referenced by the names they were given outerFunction.innerFunction1 and outerFunction.innerFunction2. Giving them names containing a dot is useful as a reminder of where the functions come from, but they could be given any name and called directly (as in my third example in the snippet).

function outerFunction(){

    function innerFunction1(){
      console.log( 'hello from first innerFunction' );
    } // end innerFunction2;

    function innerFunction2(){
      console.log('hello from second innerFunction');
    } // end innerFunction2;

    function innerFunction3(){
      console.log('hello from the third function');
    } // end innerFunction3;

  outerFunction.innerFunction1 = innerFunction1;
  outerFunction.innerFunction2 = innerFunction2;
  anyName = innerFunction3;

} // end outer function;

outerFunction(); // essential to declare and initialise global variables about to be accessed;
outerFunction.innerFunction1();
outerFunction.innerFunction2();
anyName();

If you can look inside outer function of the example you gave, you will find a declaration to the dot notation variable name you're using to call it. There is nothing magical about the dot notation here, it is just a variable name.

Kauai Pasta - Kapa'a, HI
In the mood for something different for dinner one evening when we were on Kauai, someone at the front desk of our hotel made a suggestion of a little out-of-the-way Italian restaurant that wasn't far from our hotel. We thought Italian would be a nice diversion from the seafood we'd been eating seemingly almost every meal while we were on the island. We set out to find Kauai Pasta in Kapa'a.
Russell Stokes was born in Oregon and moved to Kauai when he was 8 years old. His maternal grandmother was Sicilian and he learned a number of great Italian recipes from her and his mother while he was growing up. After graduating high school in Kapa'a Stokes got a job working in the kitchen at Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill, part of the empire of Roy's Restaurants run by noted Hawaii Regional Cuisine chef Roy Yamaguchi. (Roy's Poipu Bar has since been transformed into another Roy's concept restaurant, Eating House 1849.) It was at Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill that he met Karolyn Heller, a double graduate of the California School of Culinary Arts and Le Cordon Blue Academy in France who had moved to Kauai to work at Roy's Poipu. Heller was also an Oregon native and the two ended up getting married.
Russell Stokes eventually became the executive chef at Roy's Poipu with Karolyn as the sous chef. However after working at Roy's for 9 years, he saw a need for an Italian restaurant on the island, a place that was more for the natives and not the tourists. In 2003, Russell and Karolyn Stokes left the restaurant to open their new place - Kauai Pasta in Kapa'a - using recipes that were handed down by Russell's grandmother.
Karolyn Stokes' father, Jon, worked as for food and restaurant supply wholesaler in the Portland, OR area before he decided to retire after 27 years. Along with Karolyn's mom, Rondi, the Heller's moved to Kauai to be closer to their daughter's family. It wasn't long before Jon Heller was working in the restaurant and he eventually became a partner in the business.
Stokes and Heller opened a second Kauai Pasta location in Lihue in 2006. Eventually, Stokes and Heller split their two businesses - Stokes taking the Lihue Kauai Pasta location and Heller taking over the Kapa'a Kauai Pasta. To run the kitchen at the Kapa'a location, Heller brought in Jeffrey Aguinaldo, a Filipino native who - ironically - was the sous chef at Roy's Poipu.
Kauai Pasta in Kapa'a was immensely popular and the small space was routinely filled with diners and more people waiting outside to get a table. After Jon Heller took over, he took over another space in the small strip mall and put in the KP Lounge, a bar area that handled overflow and allowed those waiting for a table to have a drink or two. The KP Lounge quickly became a popular place for locals to hang out.
Kauai Pasta is located along the Kuhio Highway in Kapa'a, less than a 5 minute drive from our hotel. (see map) Coming from the south on the Kuhio Highway into Kapa'a, Kauai Pasta is difficult to see because it's recessed off the road and sort of behind a Taco Bell. We went by the place once and had to double back to go there. We found it in a sandstone-colored nondescript small strip mall back off the highway. Parking in the strip mall was sparse and it was tough to find a parking space. Eventually, a couple were walking out of the restaurant and getting into their car as we were maneuvering around the parking lot.
There are two doors into Kauai Pasta - the dining room and the lounge. We took the entry into the dining room and we found a long and narrow room that was dimly lit and cozy. The place was less than half-full and we were seated immediately at a small table for two along the wall. The table was very wobbly and we knew we would have to get that fixed or get moved. Our server for the evening, an even-tempered young lady by the name of Katie, came over to greet us and I showed her that the table at which we were seated was unstable. She sort of sighed and looked behind us at another table. She grabbed our silverware and said, "Let's just move you here." That table was much better.
The menu at Kauai Pasta was truly Italian-centric with a number of entrees such chicken parm, veal marsala, lasagna and, of course, pasta dishes. Salads, appetizers - including anti-pasta plates - and pizza made in-house were also available. There was also a list of dinner specials that evening that included house-made pork sausage with Hawaiian peppers, a penne pasta bake with chicken and broccoli, and a Hawaiian-salted ribeye steak.
I saw that they had Kona Big Wave Golden Ale on the beer menu and I ordered up a bottle of that. It was the 22-ounce variety and it was brought out with a small loaf of fresh baked focaccia bread with oil and aged-vinegar. The bread was served warm and was very fresh in taste.
We ordered up a caprese salad to start out with. Hawaiian tomatoes are the best in the world and these were absolutely no exception. The presentation alone was worth getting the caprese salad. It featured four thick slices of Hawaiian tomatoes with a like number of thick cuts of fresh mozzarella cheese toward the center with four large basil leaves pointing in all four directions on top. Aged balsamic vinegar was drizzled over the plate. The caprese salad was outstanding.
I was deeply in the mood for pasta that evening and I got something on the menu simply called the House Pasta - spaghetti noodles mixed in with a sauce consisting of ground locally-raised beef, ground Italian sausage and chopped mushrooms. For good measure, I asked Katie if she could add some meatballs to the dish. I also got a glass of the Joel Gott cabernet to go along with the dinner.
The dish was fine, not outstanding. The sauce had a bit of a spicy bite from the Italian sausage, but I wouldn't call it scintillating. The meatballs were sort of pasty and dry in taste. I mean, it was all fine and exactly what I was looking for, but it didn't knock my socks off.
Cindy got a dish that was simply called Pasta Marinara. It consisted of Kauai Pasta's house-made marinara sauce - the same recipe that was handed down from Russell Stokes' grandmother - along with spaghetti, chopped fresh basil, roasted garlic and parmesan cheese. It also came with a skewer of grilled shrimp. She also got a glass of the Joel Gott cabernet to go along with her meal. She thought her meal, too, was fine - not outstanding, but good.
We like to engage our server in conversation when we're in Hawaii, but we were having a bit of trouble getting Katie to talk with us. She was efficient with her service, but her demeanor was very neutral, almost dour. It wasn't that she was busy - the place didn't get much more than half full while we were there. She just didn't want to take the time to talk with a couple of tourists from Iowa.
When we got back to the hotel, we stopped at the bar to have a nightcap at the bar. We told the bartender that we just went to the Kauai Pasta in Kapa'a for dinner and she asked how we liked it. Cindy and I sort of looked at one another and I finally said, "It was was fine. Just all right. Nothing outstanding." The bartender told us that she thought the place wasn't the same since Russell Stokes split the two places leaving the Kapa'a location to Jon Heller. "I like going to Russell's place in Lihue more than the one in Kapa'a." OK, that may have been good to know before we went.
Quite honestly, Kauai Pasta wasn't all that bad. It was a nice and cozy place. The service was efficient even though our server was sort of neutral to cold in her attitude all evening. The food was good - not outstanding - but the spaghetti with the meat and mushroom sauce and meatballs was a spot-hitter for me who had nothing but fish tacos and seafood since we'd been on Kauai. My wife seemed to enjoy the pasta marinara and shrimp dish she had. The highlight had to be the wonderful caprese salad that we shared before our dinner. Kauai Pasta was a nice diversion from the seafood diet we seemed to be on while we were on Kauai.

As a local here on Kauai I must share with you that your experience at Kauai pasta would have been outstanding if you had taken the time to order dishes that they specialize in.for instance, their Alfredo is remarkable. Their rib eye is out of this world. If you order plainly, what do you expect to get.you ordered spaghetti and meatballs. That's what you got.kauai pasta serves only one steak.however every night it's served a different way.try that next time.

Та́йна и́споведи — самостоятельный вид охраняемых законом тайн, одна из гарантий свободы вероисповедания. Исповедью в христианстве принято называть покаяние в грехах перед священником как представителем Бога.

История становления тайны исповеди

В первые века становления христианства исповедь представляла собой не тайную, а публичную процедуру, что подразумевало обличение грехов не только перед священником, но перед всеми членами общины, составляющими в совокупности Тело Христово — Церковь. Открытость процедуры исповеди повлекла снижение числа обращающихся в церковь за покаянием. Ввиду падения интереса прихожан к исповеди, Церкви приняли решение утвердить тайный формат исповеди. Пересмотр характера исповеди требовал установления особого доверительного отношения между священнослужителями и паствой, что диктовало проявление уважения к сакральному смыслу процедуры исповеди со стороны государства.

Внешний регламент: тайна исповеди и российское законодательство

Доверительность отношений между священнослужителем и верующей личностью на покаянии диктует необходимость юридического сопровождения конфиденциального формата, как неотъемлемой характеристики Таинства. Гарантированное право на сохранение тайны исповеди влечет за собой обязательства неразглашения полученных в ходе доверительной и строго конфиденциальной беседы информации.

Юридическое закрепление принципа сохранения тайны исповеди отражено в следующих правовых источниках:
 Федеральный закон от 26 сентября 1997 г. N 125-ФЗ «О свободе совести и о религиозных объединениях»: пункт 7 ст. 3 постулирует законодательное сопровождение охраны тайны исповеди и ограничение к привлечению к уголовной ответственности священнослужителей за отказ от дачи показаний по сведениям, полученным в рамках Таинства Исповеди («Тайна исповеди охраняется законом. Священнослужитель не может быть привлечен к ответственности за отказ от дачи показаний по обстоятельствам, которые стали известны ему из исповеди»);
 Уголовно-процессуальный кодекс РФ: пункт 4 ч. 3 ст. 56 включает священнослужителя в список лиц, не подлежащих допросу в качестве свидетелей по обстоятельствам, известным в ходе исповеди («Не подлежат допросу в качестве свидетелей: 4) священнослужитель — об обстоятельствах, ставших ему известными из исповеди»);
 Гражданско-процессуальный кодекс РФ: пункт 3 ч. 3 ст. 69 («Не подлежат допросу в качестве свидетелей: 3) священнослужители религиозных организаций, прошедших государственную регистрацию, — об обстоятельствах, которые стали им известны из исповеди»).

Внутренний регламент: Канонические предписания Христианской Церкви

Регламент функционирования самих религиозных объединений, в частности, внутренние установления и канонические нормы права, в отдельных своих постулатах выступают дополнительным гарантом сохранения тайны исповеди. Внутренний регламент обязывает священнослужителей избегать намеренных и непреднамеренных действий, злоупотребляющих доверием прихожан, ввиду несовместимости с предписанным духовным статусом.

Православная Церковь

Гарантия таины исповеди закреплена следующими внутренними документами:
 Номоканон, издание 1639 г.: ст.120 запрещает православному священнику разглашать сведения, полученные в ходе исповеди, вне зависимости от обстоятельств; санкционной мерой в данном случае служит отстранение от служения на 3 года с обязательным ежедневным поклонением («Духовныи отец, аще кому грех исповесть исповедавшагося. имать епитемию, три лета да есть празден, токмо да причащается в месяц единою, и да творит на всяк день поклонов сто. гражданскии же закон глаголет. ископати язык сзади сицевому»);
 Основы социальной политики Русской Православной Церкви: раздел X.2 определяет содействие правоохранительным органам как недостаточное основание для нарушения тайны исповеди («Даже в целях помощи правоохранительным органам священнослужитель не может нарушать тайну исповеди или иную охраняемую законом тайну (например, тайну усыновления). В своем душепопечении о заблудших и осужденных пастыри, через покаяние узнав сокрытое от следствия и правосудия, руководствуются тайной исповеди»).

Католическая церковь

Гарантия Таинства Исповеди закреплена следующими внутренними документами:
 Кодекс канонического права 1983 года, действительный только для Католической церкви латинского обряда:
 Канон 983 закрепляет нерушимость тайны исповеди и предписывают соблюдать тайну как священнику, так и переводчику, в случае его наличия («Тайна исповеди нерушима; поэтому духовнику строжайшим образом запрещается выдавать кающегося словами или каким-либо иным способом и по какой бы то ни было причине…»);
 Канон 984 запрещает использование полученных в рамках исповеди сведений как для священнослужителей, так и для лиц, облеченных властью («Духовнику категорически запрещается пользоваться полученными на исповеди сведениями…»).

Нарушения принципа тайны исповеди

Правило соблюдения тайны исповеди вплоть до эпохи Петра I. В рамках реализации Церковной реформы, направленной на изменение системы управления Православной Российской Церковью с целью подчинения Церкви государству, роль Церкви ограничивалась нравственным воспитанием паствы. Документальное оформление новых правил и положений, определяющих положение Православной Церкви, содержалось в Духовном Регламенте, изданном в 1721 году исполнительным сподвижником Петра Феофаном Прокоповичем.

Идеологической основой нового свода правил стала концепция протестантского понимания о верховенстве светской власти в духовной сфере, получившая широкое распространение в Западной Европе. В соответствии с новыми требованиями, священнослужители привлекались к обязательному содействию государству в полицейском надзоре за населением. Несмотря на закрепление принципа тайны исповеди, Духовный Регламент оговаривал допущения: в частности, информация, полученная в ходе исповеди, подлежала разглашению, в случае, если сведения касались потенциального совершения государственного преступления — намерение совершить измену государю, бунт или покушение на честь и здравие Государя и его семьи. Данные сведения подлежали передаче в соответствующие органы — Тайную канцелярию и Преображенский приказ. Согласно Полному православному богословскому энциклопедическому словарю начала XX в. «ныне все сказанное на исповеди сохраняется в тайне, за исключением таких случаев, когда сокрытие грозит опасностью монарху, императорскому дому или государству». Помимо преступления против государства, к допущениям из соблюдения тайны исповеди относились признания о намеренном введении общественности в заблуждение путём компиляции или подтасовки фактов: священники должны были доносить на тех, кто «вымыслив… или притворно учинив, разгласит ложное чудо, которое от простаго, и малоразсуднаго народа приемлется за истину», дабы «такая лжа была пресечена».

Несмотря на оговорку об обязательности разглашения конфиденциальных сведений в исключительном случае, если исповедующийся не проявлял раскаяния и, вопреки убеждениям священнослужителя, продолжал придерживаться идеи совершения злодеяния, данное нововведение было резко воспринято как общественностью, так и духовенством. Вопреки ожиданиям власти, доносы на паству не приобрели характер массового явления.

Тайна исповеди сегодня: внутренние допущения конфессии

Православная церковь

Проблема соблюдения принципа тайны исповеди особенно актуальна в условиях стабильно высокого уровня совершения преступлений тяжкого и особо тяжкого характера против личности и общественной безопасности. Противоречие между моральным долгом священнослужителя в рамках предотвращения совершения готовящегося злодеяния или содействие правосудию по делу раскрытия уже совершенного преступления с действующим законодательством не подлежит урегулированию путём налагания юридической ответственности. В связи с этим данный внутренний конфликт регламентируется внутренними каноническими установлениями и этическими нормами религиозных институтов..

Таким образом, в Основах социальной концепции Русской Православной Церкви закреплены подробные комментарии относительно надлежащей модели поведения священнослужителя в подобных ситуациях. С одной стороны, документ подчеркивает недопустимость разглашения конфиденциальных сведений, полученных в ходе свершения таинства исповеди, вне зависимости от обстоятельств: Раздел IX предписывает, что «Даже в целях помощи правоохранительным органам священнослужитель не может нарушать тайну исповеди». С другой стороны, регламент оговаривает допущения — в частности, сведения о готовящемся преступлении против человечества путём совершения террористического акта или исполнения преступного приказа в ходе военных действий. В соответствии с разделом IX, регламент предписывает наставления кающегося с возможностью обращения к епархиальному архиерею в случае невозможности повлиять на намерения исповедующегося: «должен призвать исповедуемого к истинному покаянию, то есть к отречению от злого намерения. Если этот призыв не возымеет действия, пастырь может, заботясь о сохранности тайны имени исповедовавшегося и других обстоятельств, способных открыть его личность, — предупредить тех, чьей жизни угрожает опасность. В трудных случаях священнослужителю надлежит обращаться к епархиальному архиерею».

Католическая церковь

По закону католической Церкви "Духовник, прямо нарушающий тайну исповеди, подлежит отлучению  по  заранее  вынесенному  судебному  решению,   сохраняемому   за   Апостольским Престолом; если же он нарушает её лишь косвенно, то его следует наказать в зависимости от тяжести преступления." Канон 1388

Критика тайны исповеди

В связи с актуализацией дискуссий вокруг допущений к разглашению сведений, полученных католическим духовенством в ходе исповеди, о фактах совершения сексуального насилия над детьми католическими священниками, в 2012 году, австралийский сенатор Ник Ксенофон дал публичный комментарий, в котором назвал соблюдение тайны исповеди «средневековым законом, который нужно менять».

Заявление поддержал бывший викарный епископ Сиднейской епархии Джеффри Робинсон, подвергнув жёсткой критике позицию священноначалия Католической Церкви и подчеркнул, что допускает «совершение большего добра» путём сообщения о преступлении в компетентные органы.

Отец Боб Магуайр, также не согласный с официальной позицией Римско-католической церкви, в свою очередь поддержал возможность допущения разглашения сведений о совершении преступления сексуального характера.

Тайна исповеди и современное законодательство
В эпоху СССР и идеологии государственного атеизма понятие тайна исповеди отвергалась, но в этом отношении это вполне соответствовало традиции уголовного законодательства Российской империи.

С 1927 года УК РСФСР (в редакции, утвержденной постановлением ВЦИК РСФСР от 22 ноября 1926 года, с изменениями от 6 июня 1927 года) предусматривал, что «недонесение о достоверно известном готовящемся или совершенном контрреволюционном преступлении влечет за собой — лишение свободы на срок не ниже шести месяцев», оставляя верхний предел наказания  на усмотрение суда.

C 1961 года УК РСФСР (утвержден Верховным Советом РСФСР 27.10.1960 года) ст.88.1. (Недонесение о государственных преступлениях) за преступления аналогичного характера карал лишением свободы на срок от одного года до трех лет или исправительными работами на срок до двух лет..

Только в 1993 году в ст. 19 Уголовного кодекса РСФСР (Недонесение) было внесено изменение, согласно которому не подлежит уголовной ответственности священнослужитель за недонесение о преступлении, ставшем ему известным из исповеди.

Современное российское законодательство охраняет тайну исповеди. В соответствии Конституцией Российской Федерации (ст.23 право на неприкосновенность частной жизни, личную и семейную тайну) был принят Федеральный закон «О свободе совести и религиозных объединениях» - «тайна исповеди охраняется законом. Священнослужитель не может быть привлечен к ответственности за отказ от дачи показаний по обстоятельствам, которые стали известны ему из исповеди» (ч. 7 ст. 3). Эта норма корреспондируется с процессуальным законодательством: так, согласно п. 4 ч. 3 ст. 56 УПК РФ священнослужитель не может быть допрошен в качестве свидетеля об обстоятельствах, ставших ему известными из исповеди; аналогичное правило действует и в гражданском процессе (п. 3 ч. 3 ст. 69 ГПК РФ).

Benin–Nigeria border
(Redirected from Benin-Nigeria border)
Map of the Benin-Nigeria border
The Benin-Nigeria border is 809 km (503 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Niger in the north down to the Bight of Benin in the south.[1]
3 Settlements near the border
3.2 Nigeria
DescriptionEdit
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Niger in the Niger River and then proceeds in a roughly south-to-southwesterly direction overland, before reaching the Okpara River just east of Waria. The border then proceeds to the south, utilising the Okpara for circa 100 miles, various small streams, and several overland sections, before terminating at the Bight of Benin.[2]
HistoryEdit
During the second half of the 19th century France began creating small trading settlements on the West African coast. In 1851 a treaty of friendship was signed between France and the Kingdom of Dahomey in what is now southern Benin, followed by the creation of a protectorate in Porto Novo in 1863.[3][2] The colony of Dahomey (the former name of Benin) was declared in 1894 and was later included within the much larger federal colony of French West Africa (Afrique occidentale française, abbreviated AOF) in 1899.[3][2] Meanwhile Britain had (via the Royal Niger Company) administered the area around Lagos since 1861 and the Oil River Protectorate (Calabar are the surrounding area) since 1884.[3] As Britain expanded into the interior, two colonies were created - the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and the Northern Nigeria Protectorate. In 1900 the administration of these areas was transferred to the British government, with the Northern and Southern (including Lagos and Calabar) protectorates united as the colony of Nigeria in 1914.[2]
A rough delimitation between the two territories as far north as the 9th parallel had been negotiated on 10 August 1889; this was further clarified in more detail via an agreement of 12 October 1896.[3][2] An Anglo-French treaty of 14 June 1898 confirmed this border, and extended it northwards up to the river Niger.[3][2] This border was confirmed by a treaty of 19 October 1906, with some minor changes made in 1912 following on-the-ground demarcation which were later finalised officially via an exchange of notes in 1914.[2][3][2] The section between the Atlantic and the Okpara river was marked on the ground by 142 concrete beacons, the boundary being formed by a straight line between them.[2]
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, Britain and France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their African colonies.[4] Dahomey declared full independence on 1 August 1960, followed by Nigeria on 1 October 1960, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two states.[3][2]
By 2004-05 many of the boundary markers from the original demarcation were missing, prompting Benin and Nigeria to re-demarcate some sections of the border.[5][6]

"Where do people come up with this stuff?"
Yesterday while running some personal errands I found myself at the store of a national cell phone provider. While making a purchase the salesperson helping me recognized my last name and asked if I was related to a girl he lived next door to and went to school with.
Salesperson#1: She was Episcopalian or something I think.
Salesperson#1: She had long hair. She could never cut it. And I think they have to wear long skirts, (no pants, or shorts).
Salesperson#2: That is so ridiculous. How about mini-skirts? Could she wear mini-skirts?
Salesperson#1: No. Had to be below the knee. Couldn't see the knees I'm pretty sure.
Salesperson#2: (sighs with disgust) Where do people come up with this stuff?
Both salesmen stopped their exchange suddenly, turning their attention back to me and my sale and didn't say another word in regards to girls wearing skirts (at least not while I was still in the store).
So last night I thought; I should post something on the blog that tells that story and explains plainly from the Bible some of the questions that people who have no understanding of holiness / etc always seem to ask.
Below are a list of questions that seem to come up frequently along with simple Biblical answers.
Q. Why do the girls have to wear long skirts?
Q. Why can't the girls cut their hair, and why do the boys have to have short hair?
Verse 4 – "Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
Verse 5 – "But every woman prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered doshonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
Verse 13 – "Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
Verse 14 – "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
Q. What does the Bible say about homosexuals?
Verse 25 – "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Genesis 19:4-13 & Judges 19:22-24 depicts two stories where homosexuality was attempted (both groups were destroyed).
I hope this has been encouraging and helpful to some of you who get asked these sort of questions from time to time.

FEDERICO DORDEI – well known for his impressive work as an actor in film and television – sat down for an interview with Cultscoop's own Interviewers: SHANNON LUSTER & SHARON JORDAN. Read here as FEDERICO DORDEI discusses working with such notable names like JANE LYNCH, KAT DENNINGS, and MAGGIE LAWSON, BETH BEHRS to name a few.
His first A-list movie was LUCKYTOWN, acting alongside JAMES CAAN, KIRSTEN DUNST, and LUIS GUZMAN. FEDERICO DORDEI has also succeeded in television, acting on such hit shows like 2 BROKE GIRLS and ANGEL FROM HELL to name a few, which he talks about here too. Read about that and more in an interview with impressive actor, FEDERICO DORDEI.
SHANNON LUSTER: You have been cast in a recurring role as Luis on "2 Broke Girls." What are some of your favorite moments working with Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs?
And I wouldn't have been able to without Kat and Beth's help. Quite often the writing changes, during the show, on the spot! And you have a minute to understand it, memorize it, and perform it.
Kat is such sweetheart and Beth is such a vibrant being; they immediately welcomed me like a family and treated me as such. I will never forget my experience on that stage, 10 memorable episodes, 4 months of a dream come true.
SHARON JORDAN: Recently, you were cast as Melvin on the new sit-com "ANGEL FROM HELL." What was it like working with Jane Lynch and Maggie Lawson?
Maggie is a very professional actress; she's kind, and sweet to everyone. She always has a smile on her face that made everyone around her feel comfortable, even after 13 hours day!
She made working with her so easy because of her demeanor and how present she is. She's great. I noticed that the whole ensemble was like a family. ANGEL FROM HELL is gonna do great!
My hilarious episode will air in a month or so. Don't miss it! Episode 9!
moments on the set that you would like to share with us?
FD: It was my first big movie with an A-list cast; you had to pinch me to believe it every day.
Luis Guzman was my partner and we became very close. I was very young and Luis was like a friend/ father figure and a mentor. I learned so much from him, and he will always have a special place in my heart; we'll always be friends. Our chemistry was undeniable and it showed on the screen.
Jimmy Caan was the Godfather from whom everyone wanted approval. During the 4th week of shooting after a scene, he puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "You're gonna go far, mark my words." So my legs shriveled, and I had to go pee from excitement. Vincent Kartheiser is a riot to be around, the most free spirited being I've ever met. We took many road trips together, and we had many adventures that should be kept in a sealed box.
Kirsten Dunst was 16 at the time. So, she was always with a tutor and didn't socialize much, except on set when she would take breaks from listening to her, at that time, Walkman. Music was her preparation for every scene.
LUCKYTOWN was a fun, outrageous experience I'll always cherish in my heart.
SJ: Who and/or what inspired you in your impressive career?
Behind the scenes of LUCKYTOWN.
FD: Alright ... The phony answer would be: I always loved the craft of acting. I decided to pursue this journey because of my love for the study of it, the preparation, bringing a character on paper to life!
Well that's maybe true now, but it definitely wasn't when I was 17 and wanted to be an actor. I loved being at the center of attention, I loved entertaining my friends, most of the time on my expense; I just wanted attention, I wanted to be FAMOUS, RICH, loved by people all over the world... But at that time, I had no idea of what being an actor was.
After moving to LA at 18, I signed up at The Stella Adler Academy of Acting, and there I found the real love for the craft. Once I jumped in the working machine, I realized that money fame etc... are not goals but accidents. I fell deeply in love in transforming myself in someone new every time. And that was enough for me to feel realized and complete, even if I would have to struggle to make ends meet.
Now, it's all I love to do, it's all I want to do, it's my life. Survival is not always easy, but when you work, it makes the suffering of the journey so worth it.
FD: My advice to any actor of whatever race, nationality, type... If it's all you want to do in life, and if you're ready to have an unstable life without guarantees of any kind, then NEVER STOP PUSHING! I've heard things like "with that accent you'll never work," "with your mixed ethnicity, you're not 100% Hispanic, nor Italian, nor Middle Eastern, you will hardly fit anywhere," " ethnic roles are fewer than most and combined with your accent, you better find something else to do."
I could go on for pages about all the negativity that I had to hear through the years.
Just let it go through one ear and out on the other. Insistence, excellent preparation, good demeanor, and being true to yourself will break any resistance ;) you just never know how long it will take... In reality, you have to be willing to sacrifice your life and be all-in, without any guarantee. No matter what, I wouldn't have chosen any other path.
SL: What's next for Federico Dordei?
I have a FIAT campaign for the new 500X (Tony fix it) that I'm hoping will start airing soon.
I have a hysterical episode in the upcoming show for Showtime, DICE! with the legendary Dice Clay! I had a riot playing myself in it... No character this time!
Also, I have a super funny pilot in which I'm a series regular, called ESL. Again, I play myself and can easily say that it's the best comedic work I've done so far. The pilot is now airing on FUNNY OR DIE, and it's getting awesome reviews. I hope it will find a home (network) soon; I'm never been so proud of a project.
I'm starring in the psychological thriller GIRL MISSING, which is currently airing on the Lifetime Movie Network with Kirsten Warren and Francesca Eastwood, where I will definitely creep you out from beginning to end!
Much love to all the readers, and thank you for your interest and support. I appreciate you immensely.

Cross-cultural psychology systematic compares cultures with the goal of determining to what extent psychological functions, processes, and behavior are common or unique. Despite this, Cross-cultural psychology is interconnected and derives its knowledge from many other psychological disciplines such as cognitive, social, and personality psychology, or neuropsychology.
In the cross-cultural psychology working group of ICP 2020 we aim to cover as much as possible of the variety of topics studied within this domain. We hope that the cross-cultural psychology section of ICP 2020 will stimulate the debate of the current issues, challenges and trends, and intensify the international cooperation among scholars.
The working group will accept contributions on the latest empirical research on important cross-cultural questions in social, developmental, cognitive, linguistic, personality, organizational and other areas of psychology. Apart from the empirical research presentations, we also welcome theoretical presentations that may suggest new orientations for future research, as well as cross-cultural and single culture studies using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods design.


HomeCommunity@Digicoled's Digest – Computing, for all?
@Digicoled's Digest – Computing, for all?
This week, in the UK, The Royal Society released a report emphasising the lack of teaching of computing in English schools, since the change of the curriculum in 2014. The 2014 change shifted the focus on ICT as something we use, to computing – something to work with. The priority shift was monumental, as the emphasis was now on coding and computational thinking, whereas the functionalities of using technology were pushed into the background. All very well and good, but the teaching profession wasn't truly prepared for this shift as the complexity and detail required in the new computing curriculum demanded a different skill set, leaving many schools unable to offer the subject. To add further context, any private school or academy is not obliged to follow the National Curriculum (within England) and can focus on subjects and skills which offer a rounded education to their pupils, suited for their locality.
Evidence gathered from The Royal Society showed that "pedagogies for computing in schools remain less developed than those for other subjects", and that "the provision of the subject at GCSE was sporadic". Recommendations from the report suggest a push to realise the ambition of recent curriculum and qualifications reforms, to improve gender balance in computing, and ensure there is a strong supply of computing teachers entering the profession.
Firstly – The current political climate within the UK, and many other global territories is far too distracted on other issues of self-preservation, divisive policy exchanges, and economic pressures to give 'computing in schools' the necessary attention or funding. Political rhetoric is just that, and until stability becomes assured, then concentration on such matters can be ensured. Until then, we're kind of in a state of limbo.
Secondly – Computing is not a global educational subject comparison priority. Governments are investing in reading, mathematical and science skills globally, and the reason for this is the infamous PISA table comparisons. The priority is to climb up the table as much as possible, and until computing is placed within that focus, then no government will invest heavily in the subject. When you think of it, most of the tech experts have been dedicated and passionate about computing and building technical marvels from an early age. Their skills have been developed individually, and they have gone on to college or university where they met people of similar persuasions and now they are where they are. You cannot tell people what their passions are – but you can nurture and guide individuals who may have an inclination to develop their skills.
Fourthly – For a teacher, their passion is teaching, and their knowledge in a subject is well developed. One computing teacher told us about how he watches his colleague's faces glaze over when delivering staff meetings promoting new software. The technical ability of teachers is varied, with some individuals struggling to turn on a computer, whereas others embrace any new development, constantly thinking how they can utilise the tech in teaching and learning. Until there is a seismic shift in attitudes, leadership and an understanding of relevance, this roadblock will always be there for some individual teachers. As accountability measures focus on getting results, this is where teachers will focus their attention on, which is completely understandable. The attention and investment should not be focused on new teachers entering the profession, but opportunities should be also offered to experienced teachers to take a sabbatical and become proficient at teaching computing, as the knowledge of classroom practice is also critical.
Fifthly – Computing is not for all. People excel in some areas more than others, and the skills demanded in computing will not suit all. However, the finished products and opportunities are applicable to individuals in different situations. Therefore, the underlying understanding of how software is development should be understood, as well as the complexity of algorithms, that impact so much on our daily technological lives. At the current pace, this progression is not likely to diminish any time soon, so developing a sound understanding of the systems at play is essential to help inform future decisions. Embedding a knowledge and understanding of the main principles of computing systems is essential, and the start of this process can (and should) begin in the primary setting. Indeed, there are an impressive array of innovative learning resources now available, but I will refer you back to the last bullet point in relation to teacher confidence and weariness.
Let me conclude. The issue around the gaps in Computing teaching and learning are well documented, and The Royal Society has rightly highlighted some of the greatest obstacles in placing the subject at a similar level as the sciences, mathematics or literacy skills. I have not addressed the gender issue raised in the report, as a good infrastructure in place will attract the greatest learners, no matter what their gender is. Computing has to be a subject that challenges, resonates and becomes relevant to students, teachers, politicians and society. Even though society is ever reliant on technology on a daily basis (just look at how compact and portable devices have now become), not all members have the same knowledge, understanding and accessibility as others, and it is the responsibility of us all to make sure the technology and computing skills are used for the benefit of all, not the few.

Q: Toggle Angular Material DatePicker on MatSelect click and choose the date selected I am trying to make the material datepicker open automatically when I click on the angular mat-select control.
<mat-select formControlName="postDate" (focus)="openCalendar(picker)" (click)="openCalendar(picker)">
  <mat-option value="8555">Delay Crew - 8555</mat-option>
  <mat-option value="9000">Self Install - 9000</mat-option>
  <mat-option>
    <mat-input-container>
      <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker">
      <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
      <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
    </mat-input-container>
  </mat-option>
</mat-select>

I tried with the focus and click events of the mat-select control this way, it doesn't work.
openCalendar(datePicker: MatDatepicker<Date>) {
    datePicker.open();
}

Also could someone help with selection, choosing the date should have that date as the option selected in the mat-select control.

A: To automatically open the DatePicker when the select element is clicked, you can modify your html to look like this:
<mat-select formControlName="postDate" (click)="picker.open()">
    <mat-option value="8555">Delay Crew - 8555</mat-option>
    <mat-option value="9000">Self Install - 9000</mat-option>
    <mat-option>
        <mat-input-container>
            <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker">
            <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
            <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
        </mat-input-container>
    </mat-option>
</mat-select>

This works, but the calendar is opened in the wrong position, as the element is moved after the open() method has been called. I would probably consider rearranging the elements so that you don't have to deal with this problem (i.e. move the datePicker outside of the select, and place it side by side with it).
EDIT
On second thoughts, you can call picker.open() when the select element emits the onOpen event, this would solve the positioning problem.
<mat-select formControlName="postDate" (onOpen)="picker.open()">
    <mat-option value="8555">Delay Crew - 8555</mat-option>
    <mat-option value="9000">Self Install - 9000</mat-option>
    <mat-option>
        <mat-input-container>
            <input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker">
            <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
            <mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
        </mat-input-container>
    </mat-option>
</mat-select>


There's a fine line between the verb "flaunt" and it's more docile and giving half-sister: the verb "share." Some of us need to revisit that little fact.
By us, I mean the early adopters, the bold bloggers, the talented twitterers, frantic friendfeeder's and facebooker's, courageous community managers, die-hard digg'ers, excellent evangelists and super-sized social media saints!
Forgive me if you're none of the above, but you get my drift and I'm betting that at least one of the above descriptions fits you to a tee!
I've written a few posts lately where I seemed to go on and on about the lack of social media knowledge that exists among specific industries and the resistance that we all deem futile. In many cases, it isn't resistance at all. It's simply a lack of understanding, coupled with preconceived notions of unreasonable time commitments and technological prowess, neither of which are requirements to get in the game.
are plenty more where they came from and I fear that we could be leaving behind the very people who need us most.
That conference changed me. It made me think very hard about my purpose and the more I think through it, I see an amazing opportunity to teach. As I reach out to those in my various networks who are much savvier than I am, my main goal is to extrapolate every piece of knowledge and wisdom they have to offer to better myself and increase my personal knowledge. I know that we all do. That's the power of vast networks.
I ask you to turn the tables for a minute and think of all of the people who want to extrapolate your knowledge on the most basic level. Can you give it to them, and in a way they will understand?
If you are a leader of the pack, consider stepping down a notch or two and getting back to basics. Share yourself and what you know. The key word is share. There will be time to flaunt later and that vast network of yours will be waiting for you to do just that.
Just yesterday, I posted a blog indicating that nonprofits need to decrease their dependency on traditional media organizations and utilize social media as a mean to promote and increase awareness about their organizations.
Well, it isn't just nonprofits that need to do this. Anyone who is still depending solely on the news media, particularly print to tell their stories, here's a list to digest, as posted by Mark Potts.
I'll share five of the 25 here.
The common belief is that these numbers will only continue to deteriorate. Need any more convincing?
Again, here's the full list.
One of the messages I tried hard to drive home during a session I held at the NC Center for Non-profits Statewide Conference two weeks ago, was this: Stop depending on the news media to tell your story!
It's amazing that in this day and age of social media, many organizations and industries are still so heavily reliant on traditional media. I got the feeling during an informational lunch which was hosted by the Marketing Director of a local TV station and attended by several leaders of non-profit organizations, that everyone around the table would give their left arm just to know the magic secret behind getting news coverage.
"How do we get you to come to our events," one woman asked.
As a former assignment manager at numerous TV stations, I know that there is no magic secret and I told them as much. I even went further to tell them that I was one of many managers in newsrooms across the country, who routinely tossed their well-crafted press releases in the recycling bin.
I saw shock on the faces of many. I went on to discuss the 22 minute news hole and the plight of producers charged with presenting the best and most important news of the day during that time frame. Couple that with a small number of news crews, and throw in a 2-alarm fire, and the chances of your festival or major fund raising event getting coverage are really slim. Actually the chances are pretty much non-existent.
"Have you ever thought about shooting your own video and providing it to the station?" I asked.
Yes, but you can also post your own video on YouTube and other video sharing sites. You can post it on your own website, or provide a link. You can submit it to communities that accept user-generated video. And that's just a start. There's so much that can be done beforehand to generate buzz that doesn't involve traditional media.
It's a brave new world, where you control a lot more than you once did, so learn the ropes and get involved. With social media comes freedom and it's time for non-profits to break free.
If you have a product or service that you think most people or a large percentage of the people in an online community would find interesting, I think you should delve right in and give it a shot. After all, isn't one of the goals behind marketing in online communities to essentially capitalize on the sheer numbers and niche topics?
If done right, it can be quite effective. If done wrong, as it most often is in my opinion, it can backfire in a way that can turn ugly fast. I've seen it time and time again. A well-intentioned individual joins the community and casually starts mentioning their travel site or automotive services complete with links in every post and the promise of a discount.
What often happens next is they receive a slew of comments from the natives about the community not being a place to sell their services and it's all downhill from there.
I once saw a user upload 750 images of wristwatches. Seriously. It was his entire catalog. Need I say what happened to him?
I call it the scarlet letter, "S." it stands for SPAM. It's a word you don't want to be associated with in an online community. Trust me. So, before you jump right in to the next community, here are five things you shouldn't do. Remember, this isn't the do list, it's the don't list.
Add links to your website in every single blog and comment you post.
Write blogs with titles like: "Great deals on travel" and only mention your organization. It's the quickest way to illustrate a lack of genuine interest in the community.
Start blogging about your product or service the minute you create a profile. It will be noticed.
Misrepresent yourself as a satisfied customer, just to convince others to get on board.
Disrespect the culture of the community. Take time to see how things work before you jump in and shake things up.

Q: Angular remove Element I have a directive:
app.directive('eventView', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    replace:true,
    templateUrl: 'partials/EventView.html',
    controller: 'eventController',
    link: function(scope, element){
        scope.$on("$destroy",function() {
            element.remove();
        });
    }
  }
});

The controller for the directive:
app.controller('eventController', function($scope, $rootScope){
  $scope.removeEvent = function (){
    $scope.$broadcast("$destroy")
  }
});

There are several instances of the same directives in the rootscope. Each directive is a div in which there is a remove button which is bind to the removeEvent method in the controller definition.
The problem is that when a remove button is pressed in one those div(from eventView directive), all the divs are being removed. I only want the current directive from where the destroy is being broadcasted to be removed. I know its because i'm broadcasting $scope.$broadcast("$destroy") but how can I remove only the current scope, is there a predefined method only for that current scope

A: if you are using ng-repeat then you can use $index as the unique identifier for those div...
just update your code like below:
app.directive('eventView', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    replace:true,
    templateUrl: 'partials/EventView.html',
    controller: 'eventController',
    link: function(scope, element){
        scope.$on("$destroy" + identifier,function() {
            element.remove();
        });
    },
    scope: {identifier : '@'}
  }
});

and broadcast the event with identifier
app.controller('eventController', function($scope, $rootScope){
  $scope.removeEvent = function (identifier){
    $scope.$broadcast("$destroy" + identifier)
  }
});

if the divs are not part of ng-repeat, then you will need to have some kind of identifier to identify which div to destroy...


By the end of this week, 29 of the 30 NHL teams will have played 10 games, making it a perfect time to look around your fantasy league and find some buy-low candidates to trade.
On average, forward Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche was drafted in the third round in Yahoo leagues, but he has no goals and four assists in nine games. This start might have owners thinking sophomore slump, but don't forget he had seven points in his first 11 games last season, yet finished the season with 56 points in his next 71. The talented center could be had for a low price.
Goaltender Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, is off to a slow start with a .897 save percentage and is now playing without his biggest weapon, defenseman Zdeno Chara, for the next 4-6 weeks. Email, text or tweet the owner of this talented goalie in your league and watch how they will be eager to trade him for a Darcy Kuemper or Frederik Andersen. They're solid goalie options, but don't forget Rask's best months in his career are December (1.85 goals-against average) and March (20 career wins).
Devante Smith-Pelly, Anaheim Ducks (owned in 12 percent of Yahoo Leagues) -- The 22-year-old has the fantasy golden spot playing on the wing of Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry and has responded with two points in his past three games. The 6-foot, 220-pound wing came onto the scene last season when he led the Ducks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with five goals and looks primed to start this season the way the last one finished. The Ducks have four games this week, all on the road (@CHI, @STL, @DAL, @COL), and Smith-Pelly had seven points in his 14 road games last season.
Jared Spurgeon, Minnesota Wild (owned in 11 percent of Yahoo Leagues) -- The Wild defense is off to a smoking hot start (1.00 goals against per game), and Spurgeon leads them in points from the back line with five. The 24-year-old averages 0.34 points per game. He is also coming off a season where he scored a career-high 26 points and tied his career-high with five goals in 67 games. Minnesota has four games scheduled this week (@NYR, @BOS, SJS, DAL) and the two early games on Monday and Tuesday could give your team an initial advantage.
Antti Raanta, Chicago Blackhawks (owned in 27 percent of Yahoo Leagues) -- Corey Crawford has an upper-body injury and his backup Raanta has not looked out of place with a .926 save percentage in his first four starts of the season. Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville continues to say Crawford's setback is a short-term situation. However, remembering Raanta was 8-1-3 when Crawford missed time last December, we recommend fantasy owners pick him up. The Blackhawks have four games scheduled this week (ANA, @OTT, @TOR, WPG), including a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, so even if Crawford returns you can expect Raanta to start two or three games.
The end is always the best -- Want a trend to help you win a fantasy week? Of the 55 back-to-backs scheduled this season, 17 of them have occurred on Saturdays and Sundays (30.9 percent). Pay attention to who has that golden Saturday-Sunday schedule, since those players could give you the added boost you need to win that week. This week those teams are the Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals and Winnipeg Jets.
Flames scoring defense -- We all knew Mark Giordano, drafted on average in the ninth round, and T.J. Brodie, owned in 71 percent of Yahoo leagues, were going to be a force this season, but the Calgary Flames defense as a whole is starting to make some noise. They have combined for an NHL-high nine goals and 26 points. The breakdown for the defensive scoring is Giordano and Brodie pacing the team with seven points, and the second pairing of Dennis Wideman and Kris Russell each with six points.
Tanner Pearson, Los Angeles Kings -- To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in more than 25 games in any preceding season. Pearson played in 25 games last season, just meeting the qualifications to be considered a rookie. Luckily for the 30th pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, they do not add his 25 career playoff games and Stanley Cup championship. The 22-year-old is off to a hot start with nine points in eight games, and has continued the playoff lure of "That '70s Line" with Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Carter. One of my fantasy sleepers to start the season is already on his way to becoming a mainstay on fantasy teams and needs to be owned in more than 56 percent of Yahoo leagues.


This topic introduces new science explanations covering radioactivity.
The main focus of the topic is an exploration of the how science works ideas on risk in the context of radiation. It covers ways of determining risk and some of the uncertainties involved. It provides opportunities to discuss why we take the personal decisions we do. Students will also examine some of the factors that influence government decisions on the regulation of risk management.


We've just managed to chalk up 1700 km on dirt roads and almost made it back from Cameron Corner intact. I say almost because we lost our wire cage, which housed the spare tyre on the roof, when we were going over a dry creek bed. The boulders were quite big and when the back of the car flicked out the bolts shirred off and were nowhere to be found. Luckily the tyre and the cage fitted into the back of the car and we continued on our merry way. The only other mishap was unexpected rain, which meant that we slid the last 20 kms of our trip back home.
Staying in PJ's underground Bed & Breakfast at White Cliffs. White Cliffs was Australia's first commercially viable opal field and because of the heat, a lot of residents live underground, where the temperature changes very little all year. Above the ground, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was a bombing practice range with holes (mine shaft entrances) dug out and then abandoned. It seems that everyone has a mine shaft and PJ's was no exception. You simply walked down the hallway, past the bedrooms, opened a door and there it was – complete with subterranean levels, ladders and electric lights strung along the walkways. Apparently the clay is quite safe and very easy to work with and, if you have your own excavator, adding rooms is just a matter of digging them out…. provided you don't run into the neighbour's house!
Drinks with the staff at the Milparinka hotel where we were staying the night was quite an experience – cpmplete with baby lamb (pet) and yabbies (food). Milparinka is one of only two towns surviving in the Corner Country (the other being Tibooburra), which sprang up when gold was discovered in the 1870s. It originally consisted of four hotels, a bank, shops, a library, a newspaper office, police station and courthouse, a Cobb and Co office, school, post office and more. Gold was never found at Milparinka but water was and the township developed along the waterhole in the Evelyn Creek. Today Milparinka is a bit of a ghost town but the local community has restored the courthouse, police station, gaol cells and kitchen, which are now heritage listed.
Meeting Tibooburra's only cop – Jonno – and spending a couple of hours 'talking shop'.
Watching a plane land at Cameron Corner (think Rabbit Proof Fence) and then drive along the road to the General Store for supplies – as you do in the bush.
Making it to the top of the hill in Broken Hill to see the Living Desert sculptures (without collapsing half way up) and visiting Silverton (Home of Mad Max).
PS a big Thankyou to Lee, Col, Val and Ken who took on the job of babysitting the Bear while we were away.

What it means to be a 'future-ready' firm
Stephanie Woerner
Peter Weill
Ina Sebastian
Firms that have successfully executed a digital transformation have significantly higher financial performance. A new book offers guidance on how to get there.
Digital business transformation is not easy or inexpensive, but the benefits are significant.
Scientists from the MIT Center for Information Systems Research found companies that have executed a digital transformation have significantly higher financial performance — with average revenue growth of 17.3 percentage points and net margins of 14.0 percentage points above industry averages.
Yet a study of 1,311 global firms found only 22% are what CISR researchers call "future ready" — that is, having gone through business transformation that allows them to leverage digital capabilities to innovate, engage, and satisfy customers while reducing costs.
A new book by CISR research scientists Stephanie Woerner, Peter Weill, and Ina Sebastian offers guidance to leaders whose companies haven't yet reached that state.
In the following excerpt from "Future Ready: The Four Pathways to Capturing Digital Value" (Harvard Business Review Press: October, 2022), the authors explore the two goals of digital transformation and recommend five steps to becoming future ready.
Transforming a firm to succeed in the digital economy requires a vision and a playbook to help firm leaders deliver on that vision, motivate employees, communicate with markets, and keep everyone focused on a common goal as they work to create new value in an increasingly digital world. The framework that we have developed starts with describing what it means to become a future-ready firm.
We define a firm undergoing a digitally enabled business transformation as having two simultaneous goals: (1) using digital technologies and practices to speed up and (2) wring out costs by standardizing and automating processes; reusing data, processes, and technology; and identifying areas where productivity can be increased.
A study of 1,311 global firms found only 22% are what CISR researchers call "future ready."
At the same time, these firms are using digital technologies and practices to innovate, creating new offers and services, identifying new ways to engage customers, and developing new business models and revenue streams. Some of the digital technologies and practices will provide efficiency gains and opportunities for innovation — for instance, service enabling a core capability with application programming interfaces (APIs) standardizes and automates that capability, which can then be reused AND can potentially be bundled into a new product offering for customers.
We name firms that have learned to both improve customer experience and be more efficient, simultaneously and consistently, as future ready. Future-ready firms consider and use digital tools and approaches early in their decision-making to address any challenge or opportunity, large or small. These digital tools and approaches include building and reusing platforms, test-and-learn techniques, agile methods, partnering to grow through digital connections, dashboards to accumulate and measure value, and many others. These future-ready firms are top performers, reporting estimated average revenue growth of 17.3 percentage points and a net margin of 14 percentage points above their industry average — a rewarding premium.
We developed this playbook based on more than five years of rigorous research, including more than 50 interviews with executives, several surveys with a total of over 2,000 respondents, and field-tested in multiple workshops with senior management teams and boards in firms across the world in diverse industries, plus many presentations and masterclasses.
This is the journey we recommend for leaders as they position their firms to become future ready and top performers in the digital economy:
Motivate: Articulate your firm's purpose to your employees, managers, directors, and partners, and align it with the transformation to future ready. Digital business transformation is challenging for the entire firm and a strong purpose provides meaning to everyone on the journey.
Commit: Chose a pathway, or progress on multiple pathways if your strategy dictates it. Communicate the pathway(s) and create a common language that everyone in the firm understands and uses to describe the journey.
Anticipate: Look ahead to the common challenges — we call them organizational explosions— that occur in all digital business transformations and manage them.
Build: Develop the 10 capabilities future-ready firms have in common that help create value.
Accumulate: Create, capture, and track three types of value — from operations, customers, and ecosystems — over time.

Ex-IPS officers hail PM for efforts to resolve Kashmir issue
IANS | 26 Jun 2021 3:37 PM GMT
Fifteen former Indian Police Service (IPS) officers on Saturday wrote an open letter praising the Prime Minister for his government's 'painstaking and 'courageous efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue.
New Delhi : Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired an all-party meeting on Jammu and Kashmir involving several political leaders from the Union Territory, at least 15 former Indian Police Service (IPS) officers on Saturday wrote an open letter praising the Prime Minister for his government's 'painstaking and 'courageous efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue.
The open letter under the banner of 'Track the Truth' has been signed by former IPS officers A.K. Singh, Badri Prasad Singh, Geeta Johri, K. Aravinda Rao, K. Rajendra Kumar, K.B. Singh, M. Nageswara Rao, P.P. Pandey, Prakash Mishra, R.K.S. Rathore, Shivanand Jha, S.K. Rout, S.P. Vaid, Vikram Singh and Vivek Dube.
"In the past seven years, we have noticed your government's painstaking, courageous and decisive efforts at attempting to resolve the complex Kashmir issue. It is a matter of national pride that over these years, the Central government has tried all means possible to achieve this goal," the ex-IPS officers said in the letter.
Highlighting the revocation of Articles 370 and 35-A, they said, "The momentous decision to annul Article 35A and read-down Article 370 was efficiently implemented with all necessary precautions to prevent the loss of life and property."
They said that the complete integration of Kashmir with the Union of India was a long-pending unfinished task, ever since India adopted the Constitution in 1950.
"Now, a citizen of Kashmir can proudly call himself or herself Indian and receive all the benefits that the Indian state bestows on its citizens. It is a matter of great satisfaction that the government's ability to foresee future events and to plan for all kinds of possibilities, led to tight control over crime, terrorism and public order since August 5, 2019," the letter said.
The former officers also said that the implementation of the plan was "impeccable", given that Pakistan, the permanent interloper in matters regarding Kashmir, was boxed into a difficult position, given its earlier stand of non-recognition of Article 370.
"Of more interest is the fact that Pakistan is now calling for the reinstatement of statehood for J&K, which amounts to accepting J&K as part of the Union of India and reiterates the Union Home Minister's announcement in the Parliament to this effect," they said.
The former officers also lauded the government for handling external pressures such as those from western nations and multilateral bodies like the UN, which have been interfering in India's internal affairs regarding Kashmir for several decades.
"None of these external elements were able to create any significant impact, except the appearance of articles in media of choice. Almost two years have elapsed and the seal of integration with the Union is absolute," they said.
Referring to the recent all-party meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, the former officers said, "The Central government's most recent initiative at reaching out to political stakeholders and countering the twin elements of 'Dil ki doori' and 'Dilli ki doori', in order to enhance trust, is exemplary, reflecting a dynamic approach to policy-making."
The former officers also said that they are hopeful that the Prime Minister will fulfil his promise of bringing economic development to J&K, with all the robust investment plans that have been finalised.
They also highlighted the work of the Modi government in Jammu and Kashmir in the last seven years. They mentioned the surgical strikes in 2016, air strike in 2019 in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attack, peaceful panchayat and local body elections in 2018, arrest of several separatist leaders by the NIA and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and several others.

The Aqaba Gulf hosts the Eilat Port from Israel and the Aqaba Port in Jordan. The Tiran Strait represents the gulf's Southern border from the other side. The gulf has a length of 160 kilometers and the average width of 24 kilometers in some parts with the depth of around 1000 the most. However, from various places in Sinai, one can view other cities and countries in the other nations.
Away from its strategic importance, the Aqaba Gulf represents wonderful opportunities for diving and snorkeling. In fact, Dahab, Newiba, and Taba in Egypt, overlooking the Aqaba Gulf welcomes hundreds of tourists who wish to explore the treasures of the underwater.
Away from Sinai, Eilat in Israel is an important port and touristic destination with a population of half a million inhabitants. Aqaba is also a very significant port and city in Jordan with a population that exceeds one million people. These regions also welcome many tourists especially from Europe.
The borders of the nations located around the Aqaba Gulf have been settled in the early 20th century when Great Britain and the Ottoman Empire held a conference and decided they would have these borders we see today.
Aqaba city is a Jordanian coastal city situated at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea. Aqaba is the largest city on the Gulf of Aqaba and Jordan's only coastal city. Blessed with location, Aqaba was a prime port even in ancient times; its history dates back some 5,500 years.
The city of Aqaba has one of the highest growth rates in Jordan, with only 44% of the buildings in the city being built before 1990. The city of Aqaba is the southernmost part of Jordan and the capital of Aqaba Governorate. Aqaba may be on the precipice of rediscovery, but the city itself has long held intrigue.
However, industrial and commercial activities remain important, due to the strategic location of the city as the country's only seaport. It also offers activities which take advantage of its desert location. Its many coffee shops offer mansaf and knafeh, and baqlawa desserts. Aqaba and Wadi Rum are the sites of the annual Jordan Middle East Distant Heat Festival, an annual electronic dance festival.

On The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Behind the Scenes 20 Jul 17
One of my favorite memories from this time was filming for a segment on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. We spent fourteen hours with the crew and filmed in locations throughout the city, using our lackluster acting skills to improvise something based on their concept. The original story had correspondent Ronny Chieng obsessed with the stereotypical rock star lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Having heard about a badass band causing so much trouble that the government sued them, he flew to Oregon to get the inside scoop. He was filled with frustration and disappointment when he learned I spent most of my time with community activism work instead. But eventually, he comes around when he realizes that taking on the government was the most rock star thing a band could do—especially when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in our corner. Even though they cut down most of the story for the final piece, it was fun to help them produce it. They even gave us a gigantic pastry with our logo on it from Voodoo Doughnut! I kind of felt bad for Ronny because the producer had him wearing uncomfortable, super tight leather pants all day long as part of the original premise.

How much will a Repipe cost in West Sacramento?
If you have old galvanized pipes or are experiencing lingering issues with your plumbing, like reduced water pressure, grimy water from pipe corrosion, wall and slab leaks possibly even scalding issues, it's critical to replace the full system. This replacement is known as repiping. When it is done properly, you won't notice any further leaks, no scalding water issues, no more unsafe water or any other difficulty. If it is conducted wrong, the amount of damages that may arise is shocking, and the price for deeper repairs could be limitless. Hence the first rule of thumb in repiping is to use a Repipe Specialist!
The expense of repiping your residence in West Sacramento, CA is based on many factors – how big is the house, the length of the main waterline, and the amount of restrooms and fixtures, to name a few. Generally, general contractors or plumbing companies will charge around $12,000-$20,000 for every single house! That's because they just don't specialize and don't be aware of safest and most efficient ways to surgically opening up the wall surfaces and swap out pipes. They frequently pretty much rip the wall surfaces apart to access what they need. But when you want to mimimize the degree of destruction and restoration – and therefore cut down the final cost (let alone the toll of your peace of mind!) it's best to first obtain an estimation from Repipe Specialists! PEX and Copper Repiping is all they do!
How Much Money Can a Copper Repipe Cost in West Sacramento, CA?
At Repipe Specialists, a large amount of repipe procedures almost always cost fifty percent of a neighborhood plumbing company's estimate – in West Sacramento, CA it is safe to assume approximately $3,500 for any two bedroom, one bath house, and up to $9,000 for a much larger, more technical procedure. A huge aspect to remember would be that Repipe Specialists charges includes detailed wall patching, repair and painting the second they're done! You won't be forced to search for a bunch of different trades-people when using Repipe Specialists. They do all of this, and often in just one day! The point would be to get it carried out efficiently and quickly, like people were never there.
Well over twenty years, they have done nothing but repipe homes throughout the United States. The seasoned contractors are pros at replacement of original, rusty, corroded and worn out domestic plumbing systems with high quality copper and PEX pipe and accessories. They will not use day laborers, implement low quality parts or cut corners. They do it right to start with, and don't leave your home before you are incredibly satisfied. Which is why Repipe Specialists remains the highest possible rated repiping service provider in The state of California! In excess of 30,000 family homes and rising – from excited, completely happy clients!
