Judiciary, Rivers News
Wike To Judges: BE ALIVE TO YOUR JUDICIAL OATHS
The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has blamed ineffective judicial performance on lack of character, courage, and decency of some judges to live up to their judicial oaths in the discharge of their functions.
Governor Wike said due to prevailing political uncertainty in the country, democracy and the rule of law are under constant threat, hence, the judiciary must be alive to its responsibilities.
Kelvin Ebiri, Special Assistant on Media to the Governor of Rivers State, disclosed in a statement that Governor Wike made the remarks at the launch of the book, "Legal Paradigm in Nigeria: A New Direction in the Study of Law and Practise," in honour of retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Hon. Justice Abdul Aboki, on Friday, September 16, 2022, in Abuja.
Governor Wike emphasised that the country and its democracy can only survive if the judicial system is strong and alive.
He noted that the judiciary will be deemed dead, when public confidence is lost in its ability to defend the rule of law and dispense free and equal justice to all.
"The judiciary dies where it lies comatose and removed from the aspirations of the citizens for good governance, the rule of law, the protection of fundamental rights and the guarantee of free and fair elections.
"The judiciary dies when it can easily be manipulated; when justice can be procured; when the injustice is rendered in place of justice to the aggrieved parties; or when resort to self-help and other means of redress outside the law becomes the preferred norm by citizens."
Governor Wike said despite the myriad of problems faced by the country, Nigerians could still trust the nation's judiciary to save the country by guaranteeing justice, equity and equality to every citizen.
"Nevertheless, this is possible only when the judiciary is able to assert itself without fear or favour, upholding the truth at all times and standing up to any other power or principality that attempts to undermine or override its constitutional responsibilities, powers and processes.
"Justice could be delayed, which is not acceptable, but it must never be refused or denied for the judiciary to serve as an effective watchdog of our democracy and thwart the evil intentions of the enemies of the people."
The Rivers State governor further asserted that effective and efficient justice delivery is imperative for defending democracy, sustaining the rule of law, protecting fundamental human rights and advancing economic development.
"Let us, therefore, continue to call on the Federal Government to strengthen our judiciary system by resolving the challenges militating against judicial effectiveness as I have done in Rivers State where we have continued to prioritize the independence of the judiciary and improved the working and living conditions of our judges beyond measure."
He also accused political parties and party leaders of exhibiting utter arrogance and disdain for the electoral laws and the democratic process in their actions and conduct.
According to him, Nigerians are becoming more and more apprehensive about the success of the forthcoming general elections, and the survival of the country's democracy beyond 2023.
"The Federal Government continues to undermine the rule of law, while political parties and party leaders continue to exhibit utter arrogance and disdain for the electoral laws and the democratic process in their actions and conduct.
"With cries of injustices, discrimination and inequities everywhere and with the risen instability and deterioration of law and order, only the undiscerning would believe that Nigeria is not headed for the hard rocks."
The governor commended Hon. Justice Aboki, for his illustrious career, immeasurable service and contributions to the growth of the legal profession, democracy, the rule of law and the progress of the country.
He described Hon. Justice Aboki, as a consummate jurist who has left his name indelibly etched in the sands of time and judicial history.
"While judges are of different social, economic and political persuasions, Hon. Justice Aboki prides himself among the progressive rank that stands up for what is right and just and believes that the law and the constitution as interpreted and enforced by the courts must both protect and advance the unity and well-being of the nation and its people.
Governor Wike thanked those who took the initiative to painstakingly put the book together. According to him, the book will provide an insightful benchmark on the life, career and philosophical undercurrents that underpin Hon. Justice Aboki's approach and conceptions of law, society, judging and justice among others.
On his part, the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, commended Justice Aboki for his meritorious service to the nation.
He also lauded governor Wike for his tenacity and ability to speak to truth to power.

You don't need an expert to tell you if your skin is dry. But an expert can help you heal it. If your skin is dry, your skin will be rough, scaly patches on your legs, back, arms or waist. When it comes to preventing dry skin, doctors give moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). The moisturizers remove dry, dead, crusty, scaly skin. If your skin is dry, stay away from strong antibacterial soaps.
If you're itchy winter dry skin is driving you nuts, go to the refrigerator and get a quart of milk. Pour it into a bowl or basin. Dip a wash cloth in the cold milk and apply it to your skin for 5 minutes. Milk has anti-inflammatory properties that often take the itchy way. The best time for all to oil or cream your face and body is after the bath or shower.
Honey has incredible properties that make it a great friend to skin, olive oil does it too. Mix a spoonful of honey with the spoonful of olive oil and squeeze a lemon juice. Apply this lotion to dry areas and let sit for 20 minutes. Wipe off with warm water. Next try with oatmeal which can be used to treat skin for a few thousand years and even science says that it is effective for its moisturizing, cleansing, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
To make an oatmeal bath: blend a cup of dry oatmeal in a food processor or blender until you have a fine powder. Scatter the mixture into a tub with running water. Soak it in the bath for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash it with cold water. Follow the instructions to get results.

Beware Zip Attachments In Emails Could Be Qbot Malware
Posted by istreetsolutions On May 7, 2022
The owners of the Qbot botnet are changing things up. The botnet's normal Modus Operandi for distributing their signature Qbot malware has been to push their malicious code via phishing emails which contain Microsoft Office documents laden with poisoned macros. More recently though, the group behind the botnet has switched to phishing emails carrying password-protected ZIP files which contain malicious MSI Windows Installer packages.
It's the first time we've seen this tactic from Qbot and no one is sure what drove the change. The best theory put forward so far is that the tactical shift is a response to a recent announcement by Microsoft to disable Excel 4.0 macros by default. This was done in a bid to shut down macros as a possible delivery system. If so, it demonstrates the incredible nimbleness and responsiveness of the hacking world.
Microsoft began rolling out a new VBA autoblock feature for Microsoft Office in April 2022.
Microsoft had this to say about the matter:
"Despite the varying email methods attackers are using to deliver Qakbot, these campaigns have in common their use of malicious macros in Office documents, specifically Excel 4.0 macros.
It should be noted that while threats use Excel 4.0 macros as an attempt to evade detection, this feature is now disabled by default and thus requires users to enable it manually for such threats to execute properly."
Qbot can best be described as a modular Windows banking trojan that spreads like a worm. It has been active for more than a decade and the people who control the malicious code have targeted several high-profile corporate entities, seeking the biggest bang for their buck.
Over the years, several large and well-organized gangs of hackers, including MegaCortex, PwndLocker, and REvil have leveraged Qbot to breach corporate networks. Although Microsoft's recent moves have made it harder for the botnet to operate, it's clear that they are adapting.

Sharing is an important social-emotional skill for young children. But putting it into practice can be a challenge.
By learning to share, students gain other essential life skills like cooperation, fairness and negotiation.
These skills help them make friends, understand healthy ownership and show compassion for others. And students can apply these skills in school, on the playground and throughout their lives.
This activity called the Hungry Snake is a great opportunity for students to share equipment and understand the responsibilities of decision making and problem solving. The goal of the activity is for students to complete specific tasks while working cooperatively.
Efficiently practice the social skill of sharing.
Identify their individual roles in the success of the group.
Differentiate the value between individual achievements and the achievements of individuals working toward a common goal.
Create an open space for students to move around in. Arrange students in groups of four or five (snakes). Distribute the "food" around the room.
Have the snakes retreat to a corner of the room; this is their "den." Place a wastebasket or hula hoop in that area, which is where they will deposit all retrieved items.
Have students place the ball between their backs and the belly of the person behind them (for a group of four, there will be four balls; the first person or leader is required to hold a ball to his or her waist). The balls are not allowed to drop to the floor. The leader is not allowed to pick up food; the other members of the group should pick up the food.
It is the job of the front person to lead the snake around the room so they can collect as many pieces of food as possible.
The collected food is deposited into the snake's den.
The group must decide when to return to the den to deposit their food collection.
If the snake drops any of the balls that connect the students, they must return all the food they are carrying to you. Then you can redistribute the food around the room.
If students are having difficulties, encourage them to switch positions and to strategize how they will be able to get to the food without dropping the balls.
Students should be reminded that the goal is to move together as a group and fill the snake's den with food without dropping the ball. Continue as time allows. Winning or losing is not the focus of the game; cooperation and strategy are.
By sharing their equipment, students learn to work together and cooperate as a team to achieve their goal. Find this activity and other social wellness activities for students in Healthy Breaks: Wellness Activities for the Classroom.
This fitness game for kids puts a twist on the classic game of tag.

Photographer Barbara Mensch's new book—"In the Shadow of Genius: The Brooklyn Bridge and Its Creators"--- is a love letter to the Brooklyn Bridge. As New Yorkers, we may cross it many times in our lives, but rarely do we stop to think about the role it has played in the city's history and culture. And few of know much about the three people who were most involved in creating it: John, Washington and Emily Roebling. In her book Mensch traces the lives of these three remarkable people and the bridge's evolution over the 16 years it took to build it---before it opened in 1883. .
Her writing and photographs dramatize--- in ways previously unknown to us-- how the Brooklyn Bridge is truly a work of genius.


For centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in AD 330, Istanbul served as the capital of three great empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. The city's maze-like streets and high balconies, its steep alleys, flower gardens, and forested hillsides remain soaked in the vestiges of that imperial past, and it is to that past and to Istanbul's unearthly moods and waters that so many writers and diarists journeyed in search of escape, knowledge, happiness, or sheer wonderment. An Istanbul Anthology takes us on a nostalgic journey through the city with travelers' accounts of the sights, smells, and sounds of Istanbul's bazaars and coffeehouses, its grand palaces and gardens, crumbling buildings, and ancient churches and mosques, and the waters that so haunt and define it. With writers such as Gustave Flaubert, Pierre Loti, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and Andre Gide, we discover and rediscover the many delights of this great city of antiquity, meeting point of East and West, and gateway to peoples and civilizations.

Palác arménských arcibiskupů je administrativní a obytná budova, bývalá rezidence arménských arcibiskupů. Nachází se v historickém centru Lvova, na Arménské ulici, vpravo od Zvonice. V rámci komplexu staveb Arménské katedrály má status architektonické památky národního významu.

Historie
Budova paláce arménských arcibiskupů byla postavena na konci 17. století na příkaz arcibiskupa Vartana Gunanjana. Jeho nástupce, arcibiskup Jakub Augustynovicz, po požáru v roce 1778 palác přestavěl a rozšířil. V roce 1802 provedl další rekonstrukci arcibiskup Jan Szimonovicz, který budovu opět rozšířil a vystavěl v ní kapli. Součástí paláce byla také knihovna, kancelář a archiv diecéze.

Do roku 1939 patřila budova paláce oficiálně ke kapitule Arménské katolické církve.

Popis
Dům je zděný, omítnutý, půdorys je ve tvaru písmene L, na východní straně uzavírá Východní (Kryštofovo) nádvoří Arménské katedrály. Přední fasáda, směřující k Arménské ulici, je dvoupodlažní, se čtyřmi okny, zadní fasáda je třípodlažní, s dřevěnými verandami a krytým schodištěm. Přední fasáda je rozčleněna vodorovnými pásy a na úrovni druhého patra - svislými s prázdnými plochami mezi okny. Fasáda končí vlnitým štítem, v jehož tympanonu je reliéf s erbem arménských arcibiskupů.

Okna jsou pravoúhlá, v přízemí se částečně zachovala původní kamenná výzdoba oken, která se skládá z rovných nadokenních rámů s ozdobou pozdně gotických kamenných rozet se čtyřmi okvětními lístky, triglyfů a metopů, a vyřezávaných okenních rámů.

Na Východní nádvoří vede postranní vchod, kde se zachoval i původní portál zdobený svislými žlábky.

EHTEL contributes to European proposal for a data strategy
A European data strategy is coming to the fore.
In February 2020, the European Commission released a Communication on the European Strategy for Data. The aim of this strategy is to create a single European data space – a genuine single market for data, open to data from across the world.
A public consultation on the strategy ran as a survey until 31 May 2020. The Commission intends to use the survey results to feed into initiatives on access to and re-use of data.
The first outcomes of the consultation have now been published. A summary report of the public consultation on the European strategy for data outlines the main results from more than 800 responses. About 230 organisations submitted position papers which are still being analysed by the European Commission (details of the process and material all received are documented and available for download here).
EHTEL was keen to contribute. It responded to the online consultation and submitted two position papers. It used its work on data strategies and data spaces to contribute.
EHTEL's views on data re-use
Data re-use is of huge importance in terms of future steps towards the end of this decade.
Through an internal consultation mechanism (see How did we get there?), EHTEL has developed five key messages:
Data use and re-use are vital, including for patient safety. Among the important diseases and conditions where data could be appropriately re-used are infectious diseases and complex chronic conditions (such as cancer treatment and cancer research). Healthcare organisations can benefit from data re-use in many ways: these involve public health, personalised medicine, organisational and management purposes, as well as research, development, and innovation.
Technologies are key to services. Among these technologies are machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for the personalised promotion of healthier lifestyles. Investment in public infrastructures and technology is thus urgent to enable health data to be, as much as possible, captured and made machine-computable. Along these lines, data capturing technology at the point of care is a pre-requisite.
Data need to be made more open and available to every stakeholder. Examples include industry, governments at national and regional levels, and hospitals – citizens/patients too, of course. Obtaining the full benefits of health data re-use is reliant on meaningful real-world data sources and Europe-wide interoperability.
Sources of information are really important. General public awareness on the social benefits of data re-use needs to be developed. Certainly, existing sources of open data should be better promoted for wider usage.
Citizens need to maintain control about the stakeholders with whom they want to share data. Citizens should be able to manage consents on their own with the help of easy-to-use applications and an integrated infrastructure. In turn, third parties should be able to request access to data for re-use purposes, and citizens should get feedback on the actual use of their data. Incentivisation schemes for citizens to agree on data re-use should be developed, on the grounds that this would be a contribution to social, public and community-based objectives.
Longer, more precise statements made by EHTEL members and friends are detailed in the two EHTEL position papers, both available publicly.
How did we get there?
EHTEL has developed three workstreams in its Imagining 2029 work programme. One is named Moving Towards European Health Data Space(s). It is supported by the EHTEL ELO network of eHealth Competence Centres.
The first webinar in this workstream was on "European Strategy for Data: Pathways for moving towards Health Data Space(s)". It provided essential strategic and conceptual considerations related to the creation of such space(s) from the viewpoint of the health domain.
EHTEL considered that the webinar provided a good opportunity to offer the European Commission its members' views from the healthcare sector on the European Strategy for Data.
Two internal consultations were organised to gather views. They resulted in two position papers:
Position Paper 1 [Click to download the PDF document]
The Webinar was followed by a survey to EHTEL Members, eHealth Competence Centres and Friends.
EHTEL acts as the health sector ambassador in the OPENDEI project. OPENDEI's large-scale pilots were also asked to respond to a survey.
EHTEL believes that a number of key recommendations can be offered about the purposes of data re-use in health and care, and its broader implementation in health and care. Five key messages are the result.

Wilkerson's win came after a lengthy heads-up duel against veteran poker pro Erick Lindgren, who put in a surprise appearance in the Cherokee main event. Wilkerson began heads-up action against Lindgren with a 4:1 edge in chips, then watched as Lindgren dominated the early stages of the duel to take an 8:1 lead himself.
From there, though, the cards swung Wilkerson's way. After a double-up and a couple of other big pots, Wilkerson moved back into the lead. Then Wilkerson caught pocket kings in the same hand that Lindgren found pocket queens. The chips went in, the board blanked out, and Wilkerson was the winner. Lindgren's runner-up effort was worth $181,864.

Enjoy lighthouses and cooking classes on holidays to Australia
People with a passion for doing something different on their travels could consider holidays to Australia, where some exciting activities have been suggested by its tourist authority.
Firstly, the organisation recommends Seal Rocks village in Myall Lakes National Park, where visitors can get away from it all by staying in a real lighthouse.
Built in 1875, it is known as "the last frontier" thanks to its secluded nature and rugged charm. Eight people can be accommodated within its walls.
Alternatively, in Tasmania, the Agrarian Kitchen is to open soon in the Derwent Valley.
Situated in a 19th century schoolhouse, the only cooking school in the area will allow students to pick their own produce before making delicious dishes with it, tutored by Rodney Dunn, former food editor of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine.
Last month, Tourism Western Australia also recommended the Gingin Observatory and the Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat, which will open near Broome in May 2009, to people considering holidays to Australia.

Ruminations on Research: Success Story 8
August 27, 2013 by Steve MacLeod Leave a Comment
The public service staff of Special Collections and Archives work closely with researchers daily. We regularly share stories here about research in Special Collections and Archives that yielded successful outcomes. By doing so, we hope to further expose the wide variety of research that our collections support and to encourage others to ask us for assistance. You can reach us at spcoll@uci.edu or 949-824-3947.
Our story today is about Valerie Samuel Henderson, Artist in Residence, and her experiences in Special Collections and Archives. Thank you Valerie!
I had the opportunity to complete a year long independent study as part of a the new Artists in Residence Program in the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine. My mentor for the program, the dean of the school of the arts, had encouraged me to make an edition of artist books to incorporate a handwritten poem I had written, which was the theme and foundation for the body of work I produced for a one person show in the University Art Gallery. The dean had said to me when he saw the poem, that if I decided to make an edition of artist books, that he would like to have a copy. I felt a deep encouragement and wanted to challenge the project in part to be able to make a gift of one of the books as a gesture of appreciation.
I was researching artist books and thinking about the format I wanted to use. My program mentor encouraged me to focus on the handmade mark made by the artist's hand. I had been to the Langston Library and researched books and materials in the general collection but kept bumping into the idea of the artist book as a handmade object in a more sculptural format. I wasn't happy with the possibilities I was seeing and contemplating. Part of the issue had to do with how I wanted the reader/viewer to interact with my poem. The poem had originally been hand written on a succession of pages in my spiral bound artist sketchbook and the physical act of turning the pages was bound up with the experience of the poem. I produced a number of drawings and paintings as well as a video for my show in the gallery, but the book kept eluding me. The work for the show was installed and we had a reception but as for my edition of artist books, I felt stuck.
Finally, I decided on a trip to visit the Special Collections at Langston to see what they had in the way of artist books, in the hope that I would find some inspiration to break my deadlock. And I did! The librarian asked about what I was interested in and listened to my descriptions of my project. Books from the Special Collection began to be presented for me to look at and also to handle and turn the pages. When the big box was opened up with the oringal lithographs by the French artist Andre Masson, based on the poem by Malarme and his instructions for his poem, I began to get really excited and asked detailed questions about how it was printed and how it came about. One of the senior librarians with an extensive knowledge of the book came out to share with me and answer questions. By the following day I had a plan for my artist book which I was very happy with based on my experience with the wonderful book in the library's special collection and the support from the library staff. I was then able to create a layout in Photoshop and take it to Kinko's, where I made a prototype which I gave as a gift to my program mentor who had challenged me and encouraged me as an artist. I am making an edition of 50 books as part of a body of work entitled, "Toward a Poetics of the Land".

LGBT Community Archives @ OC Pride 2013
Special Collections and Archives had a booth at OC Pride 2013 in Santa Ana on Saturday, August 10, to share information about the collections in the LGBT Community Archives at UCI. We had a great time! It was a pleasure to meet representatives from a variety of community organizations, as well as small groups and individuals who were interested in our work and in the Archives.
The UCI Special Collections and Archives team at OC Pride. We had a great time!
Special Collections and Archives has a growing collection that documents the rich history of the LGBT community in Orange County. We met a variety of people this year with a wide range of interests, everyone was enthusiastic and supportive of the Archives and our efforts at documenting this history. We re-established connections we had made in the past, and were excited to make new friends representing new organizations in the community. It was an exciting and rewarding day!
Thanks again to the OC Pride organizers for their commitment and support. We very much appreciate it.

Q: What components might have blown due to reverse when battery was connected backwards? I have offered to take a look at my friend's amp after they accidentally wired it up backwards. Expecting to find some physical damage or any number of damaged components, I opened it up (after checking all the fuses with a multimeter). Nothing visible at all, so I hooked it up to a bench supply. Protection light flashes, and then nothing. The voltage across what should be 13.8VDC had dropped to ~7VDC, but no smells, heat, noises...
It's a 4*100WRMS (at 4 Ohm) amp that had no faults or funny business before very briefly being connected in reverse. I'm hoping an amp circuit guru will be able to see the likely components to check, as without a hint (visual or otherwise) I'd just be poking around in the dark.
Thanks for any tips in advance!

A: From the picture, right to left, the DC 12V input appears to be connected to:

*

*a bunch of caps on the right, these got reverse biased but should survive

*then most likely a push pull DC-DC to make a high frequency square wave, these are the 6 pairs of TO220 MOSFETs on the right side of the photos ; these got reverse biased so they acted as diodes, what happened next depends on who died first, the fuse in the power line or the MOSFETs

*Then that square wave goes through the two toroid transformers, then the two pairs of rectifying diodes (labeled Dxxxx, on the heat sink) then the large higher voltage caps.

*The rest is a standard Class-AB amp.
With the 12V in reverse, the switching power supply would not operate. The amp on the left side of the picture wouldn't need any 12V to operate, so it wouldn't be connected to it, so it shouldn't even have noticed the incident.
Most of the MOSFETs from the push pull converter are most likely melted short or blown open. They are shorting your power supply, which goes into current limit, hence the drop in voltage. Shorted FETs would be a much better outcome, because that would limit the damage and blow the fuse faster.
Extra circuits that would use 12V as power supply, like maybe a microcontroller, or whatever was connected to that ribbon cable in the middle, also got -12V so their fate would depend on design.
The driver for that switching converter, which is most likely the 16 pin DIP in the center and its 8 pin DIP along with the 4 transistors, would definitely be powered from 12V, so it is suspicious. The gate protection zeners could have blown too.
So basically, this board has two sides, the class-AB amp on the left is most likely fine, you could probably still use it with a +/-30V power supply. That's from the left edge up to the rightmost big green resistor.
And all semiconductors on the right part of the board should be checked. Expect lots of casualties.
You can check continuity between the 12V input and the ribbon cable to see if whatever is on the other end got -12V. If that is the case, expect damage on this board too.

A:
This is similar to yours PSU at the input. It's a push-pull converter. There are two for each channel. When you inverted the supply, all transistor in-built diodes conducted thus blowing the fuse. But it seems that at least one is damaged.
So you should unmount all of them from the heatsink, just those close to the input and marked with Q. Those marked with D are the diodes at the output from transformer, nothing is blown after the transformer.
You do apply some voltage with your lab PSU and use your fingers to detect which heats up.

Q: segmentation-fault .. AnsiStringToUnicodeString as first debug-error-line .. doobious class-hieracy I tried to make the classes hold RAII standards (as I get it .. I'm a hobby programmer), but the compiler/debugger complained about missing constructors (with empty brackets), so I added them + set_value() functions.
The point of elaborating so much on a simple rectangle is to lift the cloudiness of integrating GUI-types (top-down types like buttons and text-fields) from the foreground problem I'm trying to handle: openGL 2D & 3d graphics living in a lower-left coordinatesystem.

Dean Phillips, Democratic candidate for Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District, greets guests at the "Everyone's Invited!" picnic in Excelsior, Minnesota, on Sept. 15, 2018.
Because a Democrat could lead this affluent Minnesota district for the first time since 1961.
The camera pans on Bigfoot, sitting pensively. "I thought I was good at hiding," the hairy folk figure muses. "Then Erik Paulsen comes along." During the attack ad against the Republican representative from Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District, the sasquatch goes on to criticize the incumbent's donations from "Big Pharma" and ends up at a pharmaceutical company's lobby to try to find Paulsen.
The ad brings the spotlight to Minnesota, and onto Dean Phillips, the Democrat challenging Paulsen who has turned one of the most competitive congressional districts in the country into a likely upset. This week, the Minnesota 3rd saw the largest shift in OZY's exclusive election model with Republican data and technology firm 0ptimus, with Paulsen's re-election chances falling from 60 percent to just 35 percent. That turns the district from "leaning Republican" to "leaning Democrat" in our model, which also predicts Democrats outperforming Republicans nationally by an average of 9.3 percentage points.
Even without the clever ad, Paulsen faces many of the same problems his suburban Republican colleagues do from Philadelphia to Orange County, California, as they fight to keep control of the U.S. House of Representatives. First, they face a stronger slate of Democratic candidates inspired to run by a divisive 2016 election. Second, they face newly energized progressive activists who are more fired up to vote, donate and volunteer than in recent midterm years — particularly women, who favored Phillips by 25 percentage points in the New York Times/Siena poll. Third, they bear the weight of a president whose approval ratings are dipping at the worst possible time, putting districts previously unattainable for Democrats suddenly in play.
Look again at Phillips: Heir to a Minnesota liquor fortune, the 49-year-old branched out and helped build Talenti ice cream into one of the more successful gelato brands in America. For years, Democrats had tried unsuccessfully to draft him to run … but it took until the election of Donald Trump and congressional Republicans' moves on health care to convince him it was time. When Paulsen voted for a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, "that really ended my time on the bench and on the sidelines," Phillips told MinnPost while launching his bid in May 2017.
Since then, Phillips has done what he can to advertise himself as down-to-earth, both "fiscally responsible" and "socially inclusive," as he puts it in stump speeches and campaign literature. When OZY visited Minneapolis in the summer of 2017 for our year-long reporting project States of the Nation, Phillips was already generating buzz among Republicans and Democrats alike as a serious challenger despite Paulsen's past electoral success. "He's a very civic-oriented guy and is legitimately a pro-business Democrat," Republican Brian McClung, a former top aide to GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty, said at the time. Phillips is a graduate of the bipartisan Minnesota leadership group Studio/E, which was co-founded by former Target vice president Nate Garvis. There, Phillips often described how the problem in politics "isn't the hardware. It's not the process of government, it's the software — the culture," Garvis said last year.
The Brown University grad drives a folksy '60s-era International Harvester truck through campaign stops as Phillips strives to become the first Democrat to lead this affluent suburban Minneapolis district since 1961. Yet despite that ruby-red history, it is one of the 25 Republican congressional districts that backed Hillary Clinton over Trump in the 2016 elections.
The Bigfoot attack echoed local talk, and in fact Paulsen hadn't held a town hall in six years before scheduling three this spring, perhaps realizing his suddenly perilous position after winning with room to spare for the past decade. Now his opponents are coming out of the woodwork. Or, in the case of his hairiest new critic, out of the woods.

Port Washington, N.Y. - Screen size and picture quality are the two most important considerations among prospective TV buyers, according to market research companyThe NPD Group's2009 TV Inventory Study.
According to the findings of the online study, which polled more than 3,000 consumers from an NPD panel, one in four consumers will most likely be making a new TV purchase in the next six months.
Among those who said they would be making a purchase, screen size was cited by 77 percent as being extremely or very important.
The average screen size being considered by consumers is 40 inches, but one in four consumers are considering a TV 50 inches or larger.
Higher resolution was the second most important feature, with 71 percent of consumers citing it as extremely or very important.
"Demand for digital television remains strong months after the end of analog broadcasting," stated Ross Rubin, NPD industry analysis director. "Consumers are taking advantage of greater affordability and buying more TVs with smaller screen sizes. However, many still aspire to larger TVs with higher resolution."
NPD said the demand for larger screen sizes is good news as dramatic declines in average prices over the past year is limiting industry dollar volume. Consumers, meanwhile, can now get more for even less without having to sacrifice the features they want.
The average price of 40- and 42-inch flat-panels for the first nine months of 2009 (January through September) was $838, down from $1,150 the same time last year, according to NPD's retail tracking service.
The average price of 50- and 52-inch flat-panel TVs dropped from $1,941 during the first nine months of 2008 to $1,409 during the same time this year.

Q: How to disable Yarn web UI / Rest API? I am quite new in yarn and I hope to disable only the resource manager web app. The YARN web app in our hadoop cluster has security vulnerability detected by https://github.com/vulhub/vulhub/blob/master/hadoop/unauthorized-yarn/exploit.py.
Actually we are using our cluster for storage, not for running MR jobs so yarn web UI and API are not necessary. So I hope to disable the web UI/API but I couldn't find any way to do it.
Any ideas?

A: Here's how to secure the API so you aren't exposed:

Q: Strange behavior of go routine I just tried the following code, but the result seems a little strange. It prints odd numbers first, and then even numbers. I'm really confused about it. I had hoped it outputs odd number and even number one after another, just like 1, 2, 3, 4... . Who can help me?
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    go sheep(1)
    go sheep(2)
    time.Sleep(100000)
}

func sheep(i int) {
    for ; ; i += 2 {
        fmt.Println(i,"sheeps")
    }
}

A: More than likely you are only running with one cpu thread. so it runs the first goroutine and then the second. If you tell go it can run on multiple threads then both will be able to run simultaneously provided the os has spare time on a cpu to do so. You can demonstrate this by setting GOMAXPROCS=2 before running your binary. Or you could try adding a runtime.Gosched() call in your sheep function and see if that triggers the runtime to allow the other goroutine to run.
In general though it's better not to assume ordering semantics between operations in two goroutines unless you specify specific synchronization points using a sync.Mutex or communicating between them on channels.

A: Unsynchronized goroutines execute in a completely undefined order. If you want to print out something like
1 sheeps
2 sheeps
3 sheeps
....

in that exact order, then goroutines are the wrong way to do it. Concurrency works well when you don't care so much about the order in which things occur.
You could impose an order in your program through synchronization (locking a mutex around the fmt.Println calls or using a channel), but it's pointless since you could more easily just write code that uses a single goroutine.


People native to Arctic America.
De ellos descienden todos los Indios, que eran temidos por nuestros ancestros ya que mataban a los Innuit cada vez que podian.
I got to hunt with David Angutinguiak, an Innuit who was not only wise in the way of caribou, but immensely personable.
Native Peoples, Native Lands: Canadian Indian, Innuit and Metis (Ottawa 1988), 186-90; Ron Bougeault, "The Indians, the Metis and the Fur Trade: Class, Sexism and Racism in the Transition from Communism to Capitalism," Studies in Political Economy, 12 (1983), 45-80; John Lutz, "After the Fur Trade: the Aboriginal labouring class of British Columbia, 1849-90," Journal of the Canadian Historical Association, 3 (1992), 69-94.
En este sentido las experiencias en Canada y particularmente en la provincia de Quebec, con su tratamiento a los esquimales innuit, asi como el regimen especial del que gozan los indios yaquis en nuestro pais, son ejemplos de como, sin transplantar modelos, resulta perfectamente plausible alcanzar la autonomia de los pueblos indigenas, sin mortificar en nada soberania nacional.
What is refreshing in papers in these sections is the effort to penetrate historical reality: the views of Innuit mapmakers, or the actual economic and political practices which could be transformed into stereotypes in service of a colonial agenda.
The Innu not to be confused with their neighbours the Innuit, were the last North American Indians to be forced to give up their traditional nomadic hunting way of life and to settle in places like Davis Inlet and Goose Bay only as recently as the 1960s and 1970s.
Wallis writes `Br Fragorem, seu rupturam violentam innuit, praesertim sonoram' (p.
These, with their deep understanding of the essence of life in the North, their analysis of lessons from the traditional dwellings of the Innuit and the Lapps, their understanding of the possibilities of using ambient energy, had (and still have) a real possibility of being the basis of humanly rewarding and ecologically appropriate townships.
There are nine sites in all, ranging from Baffin Island, NWT (approximately 80% Innuit population) to Oakland, California (inner-city, predominantly Hispanic and Southeast Asian).
I can accept the latter part of this argument (though it is not particularly new) but I find the assumption that the Bush-men of the Kalahari and the Innuit of the Arctic both see and judge the natural landscape in the same way and would both place Savannas at the top of their pecking orders too extreme.
For example, problems in this area are more common and more severe in the Native American and Innuit populations and less common and milder in Afro-Americans.


January is a great time to assess your career and take steps to accentuate it. With an economy full of opportunity, why not focus the next few months on making 2019 your most successful career year ever?
There is probably a reason you were recruited to your current position; perhaps it is your management skills or selling ability. No matter what is the case, make an effort to ramp up the skills that make you good at what you do. You can take courses, attend seminars, or pursue a professional qualification to advance your existing talents.
Stepping up in your job really does set you apart from the pack. If you have shied away from volunteering in the past, make the coming year one in which you offer to take on more responsibility. It's a great way to expand your horizons and send management the message that you are not afraid to offer to help and try new things.
Why not make yourself a key player within your company? This will set the stage for a promotion – or at least give you job security. You may not be the only person at your company who is a good merchandiser or strong negotiator. However, if you work on developing a skill that no one else at your company seems to have, you will make yourself indispensable.
Feedback can be tough; you don't only get to hear the positive, but obviously also the negative. Nevertheless, it is hard to assess your own performance when you are deep in deadlines and tasks. If you want to take your career to an exciting new level in the coming year, you need to make a point of pursuing ongoing feedback from both your manager and peers. Figure out where you are excelling and where there is clear room for improvement. The more insight you get from those around you, the better positioned you will be to take action.
While on the note of feedback, it is also not easy to be on the receiving end of criticism, even if it is constructive and helpful. Accepting that criticism courteously is a good way to set yourself apart from colleagues who are known to get defensive or ignore the feedback. Most of us are not perfect employees, but if you learn from your shortcomings and improve upon them tremendously, you'll get close.
Boosting your job-specific skills is important, but don't forget about those general skills that apply to any given role, such as time management and organistion. The more you improve your soft skills, the more valuable an employee you will be, so think about the areas you are lacking in and try to do better.
Don't underestimate the importance of being a strong team player. If you jump in when your colleagues need help or agree to collaborate on a project you would rather be running solo, you will show your manager that you're agreeable and adaptable. These are qualities that could land you a step up the ladder.
If you don't take some risks, you'll miss out on key opportunities to wow your boss and add real value to your company. Don't stay quiet when a great idea comes to mind, and don't hesitate to dive into a new project or initiative you feel will be a game-changer. Even if you don't end up succeeding, there is a good chance your company will acknowledge your effort and courage.
The people you know can be just as helpful, if not more so, than the things you know, when it comes to furthering your career. That is why it is always a good idea to expand your network. You can do so by attending conferences and industry events or asking your existing contacts for introductions. But don't just network outside your company; get to know people from different departments and teams internally as well.
Maybe you messed up a major project last year or tanked in a presentation you worked hard on. Rather than carry the burden of those mistakes with you into the new year, take some time to assess what went wrong and map out a plan to avoid a repeat during your next opportunity. Learning from previous mistakes without letting them hold you back not only shows tremendous growth, but courage as well.

DuckDuckGo vs. Google: Is One Search Engine Better Than The Other?
There are many out there that wonder what they're default search engine should be. Some like using Microsoft's Bing, others prefer Yahoo, and the majority goes to Google for all of their searching needs. But, what about all of the other options out there, such as DuckDuckGo? Can DuckDuckGo do what Google does? Is it better than Google? Are there any differences?
Well, stick around, and we'll show you!
As far as actual search functionality goes, Google and DuckDuckGo are, pretty much, the same thing. There really aren't a whole lot of differences here. Whatever you search for in either search engine, you're going to find the same information. The only difference is that you're trading Google's personalized search results for DuckDuckGo's more private browsing. And in all honesty, Google's personalized search results and DuckDuckGo's added privacy are simply "take it or leave it" features, as they really don't provide much value.
Many think DuckDuckGo is superior because of its privacy. It has a lot of good features that makes it worth ditching Google, but the focus on privacy is more of an illusion. DuckDuckGo doesn't have true privacy. Most search engines don't. In fact, it's almost impossible to browse the web privately. Hidden search history and things like Incognito Mode only makes things private on your computer's end, not your ISPs.
If you're looking for true privacy, DuckDuckGo definitely isn't the option. But, if you want to find out how to browse the web as privately as possible, PCMech's very own Christian De Looper put together a handy guide using the Tor browser.
Keep in mind that DuckDuckGo really doesn't track its users. But, once you leave the search engine and hop onto another website, you'll be tracked by that website or another. That's why if you're wanting true privacy, it's best to take Tor for a spin.
And that wraps up our overview on DuckDuckGo vs. Google. As you can see, both of the search engines are relatively the same, as they both do the same thing: search. However, one reason why you might want to ditch Google and make DuckDuckGo your default search engine is because the latter option values a privacy a whole lot more than Google does or ever will.
There really isn't much harm in ditching Google. Both search engines will serve you up pretty much the same information, only DuckDuckGo will do it with your privacy in mind. You truly aren't losing much of anything here, aside from leaving some of Google's ecosystem.
Of course, don't make the jump based off of just my opinion. Be sure to see DuckDuckGo for yourself, try it out, and see it how it fits within your needs. One thing I can promise you: you'll be impressed.
What's your favorite search engine and why? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below or join the discussion over on the PCMech.com Forums!
I have android LG G5 and there is nowhere in the Chrome settings to add duckduckgo. Only Bing, Yahoo and other popular engines.

'Rehab Addict' picks next Detroit project
It's an iconic Detroit home that has appeared in multiple movies and TV shows: the Ransom Gillis House. Located in Brush Park, it was built in 1876 by Gillis who lived there for a few years before building a new house next door and moving, according to the Brush Park Preservation Society. Abandoned sometime in the 1960s or 70s and essentially vacant since 2005, this stunning house with a turret is likely about to get a big makeover by HGTV star and Metro Detroit native Nicole Curtis. The "Rehab Addict" star on Tuesday told WXYZ that her team has picked their next project. Earlier in the day, she tweeted a picture of the Ransom Gillis house. "We have been staring down Brush Park for a long time and I think we finally found a way to make the numbers works and do one of the most infamous homes in that area," Curtis told WXYZ. Curtis, who splits her time between Detroit and Minneapolis, says the energy in Detroit "is unreal and it's unmatched anywhere else." "To do what I do and be in a city that is excited for us to be here — and not fighiting us — is a huge thing," she told WXYZ.
Local designer participates in New York design event
Bloomfield Hills designer Corey Damen Jenkins recently took the Big Apple by storm. Jenkins of Corey Damen Jenkins Associates designed a table for last weekend's Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) Dining by Design event in New York City. Jenkins, who also designed a table for Detroit's Dining by Design event last fall, teamed up with Beacon Hill on his design, using a bright, lively fabric called Maravilha as his starting point. The vignette celebrated "the Gypset lifestyle, which merges period, artisanal, and contemporary elements from around the globe into a cheerful rhythm," says Jenkins in a news release. "The textiles will give this table a bold and glamorous edge." Surrounding the vignette was a hand-painted glazed wall covered by de gournay. Jenkins' New York vignette was one of 50 installations at last weekend's event.

Q: Angular selector issue I have a problem with angular. I'm new at using it.
I have the next json
[
   {
      "name":"43",
      "values":{
         "audio":"Audio Only",
         "low":"Low Bandwidth",
         "medium":"Medium Bandwidth",
         "high":"High Bandwidth",
         "mbr2":"2 MBR",
         "mbr3":"3 MBR"
      }
   },
   {
      "name":"169",
      "values":{
         "low":"Low Bandwidth",
         "medium":"Medium Bandwidth",
         "high":"High Bandwidth",
         "hd":"HD Bandwidth",
         "mbr2":"2 MBR",
         "mbr3":"3 MBR"
      }
   }
]

This represents qualities I have to encode something. I want to create this selector:
4:3
 - Audio Only
 - Low Bandwidth
16:9
 - Audio Only
 - Low Bandwdith

In order to do it I need:
This is what I've so far:
<select id="quality" name="quality" data-disable_search=true ng-model="qualities" ng-options="item.name as labelgroup for item in qualities" >
    <optgroup label="{{labelgroup}}" ng-model="item.values" ng-options="value for (value, k) in item.values">
        <option value="{{k}}">{{value}}</option>
    </optgroup>
</select>

But it is not working... ideas?

A: First thing to note here is that you need to have the data source and the model to be two separate fields in your controller. That basically means in my mock controller I ended up with:
// jsonString is a sample string - more about this in a moment
$scope.qualities = JSON.parse(jsonString);
$scope.selectedQuality = $scope.qualities[0];

Now, this in mind, in order to make this work really easily you are going to want to change your JSON structure slightly. I modified it to being an array where each object is the following format:
 {
   "category":"16:9",
   "type":"mbr2",
   "display": "2 MBR"
 },

Basically, assuming you can do this, getting the selection box you want is as simple as the following html:
<select id="quality" ng-model="selectedQuality" name="quality"
        ng-options="item.display group by item.category for item in qualities">
</select>

The main idea here is rather than trying to group in the back end - you can pass all the objects through to the front end and allow angular to do the grouping for you. This very much simplifies your front end and it shouldn't be terribly difficult to create these objects on the server.
See this all working in a plunker here: http://plnkr.co/edit/pKKwjFZ2tz42a0X87VQD?p=preview

Edit -- make the "original" JSON work...
If you a really tied to the original JSON where sorting is done on the server, you are going to have to change it slightly so that the key and value pairs make more sense, but you can use ng-repeat and manually put together the select list and headings yourself. See that working in a revised plunker here. Note that I wouldn't recommend this as much because you are effectively loosing some of the power of the angular two way html bindings.
