Injury forces Will Bayley out of Strictly Come Dancing's Halloween Week
The Strictly contestant will be allowed to compete in next week's show
By Eleanor Bley Griffiths
Saturday, 26th October 2019 at 7:05 pm
Will Bayley has been forced to drop out of Strictly Come Dancing's much-anticipated Halloween Week after suffering a painful knee injury.
Opening the show, Claudia Winkleman told viewers: "Now, you may have noticed that Will and Janette are missing from tonight's line-up. Unfortunately Will suffered a knee injury in training and although he was desperate to take part tonight, after a full medical check he's been told he absolutely cannot perform and must rest."

Strictly Come Dancing: Here are the songs and dances for our couples for Halloween week
Will and his partner Janette Manrara had been set to perform a jive to Casper by Little Richard.
But Strictly confirmed: "Under the rules of Strictly Come Dancing, Will has been granted a bye to next week."
The Paralympic star had jumped off a table during practice, but landed on a straight leg. Explaining the injury in a recording from home, Will said he'd initially thought he had broken his leg and was left in intense pain. Medics said he would not be able to dance on Saturday night.
Will, who is a gold medal-winning Paralympian, has the condition Arthrogryposis which affects all four of his limbs.
Tess Daly said: "Will, I know you'll be watching at home so we all wish you a speedy recovery."
And while the rules of Strictly will allow the couple to return next week, it is not clear how long Will could need to recover.
"Fingers crossed he comes back next week," Janette said, while Will added in a tweet: "I'll be back."
Hi everyone, I am absolutely gutted I cannot be performing tonight on strictly with Janette, sadly I'm injured and not fit to dance. I hope to be back on the dance floor next week. Good luck to everyone tonight. Thanks for all your messages guys, ill be back!! ????????????❤

Will Bayley is not the first Strictly contestant to be granted a "bye" through to the next week. In 2016, Laura Whitmore was given a "bye" in week five after injuring her ankle during training. Previously, Natalie Gumede was also given a "bye" in week seven of 2013 when she fainted during the dress rehearsal and missed out on performing in the live show.
American singer Anastacia was also unable to compete in the dance-off in 2016 because of an ankle injury she'd sustained during her Saturday night performance. The result was instead decided based on the competitor with the highest number of audience votes, allowing Anastacia to stay in the competition.
And Will Bayley not the only one missing from the show this Halloween Week – as Alex Scott's partner Neil Jones also suffered an injury, leaving Kevin Clifton to step up and learn the routine in "about 45 minutes."
"You may have also noticed that Neil is missing this evening," Claudia told viewers. "Now, unfortunately he also suffered an injury earlier today and is unable to dance tonight, but the brilliant Kevin will be stepping in."
Kevin's own partner, Anneka Rice, has already been knocked out earlier in this year's show.
Neil tweeted that he was "gutted" to miss the show but that Alex is in "safe hands" for her street/commercial Ghostbusters Halloween routine.
Im gutted tonight I won't be able to dance because I was injured earlier today but I know @AlexScott will smash it tonight, she's worked hard all week and she's in safe hands with @keviclifton #strictly #teamred

Q: AngularJs event $stateChangeStart not firing I'm trying  to implement a route based security for users and the stateChangeStart doesn't fire, this is my code :
app.run(['$rootScope', '$location', function($rootScope, $location) {
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
      console.log('$stateChangeStart to '+toState.to+'- fired when the transition begins. toState,toParams : \n',toState, toParams);
   });

}]);

So whenever I change the route, and jump from one link/controller to another, nothing happens, however when I add a console log inside individual controllers I do see the console log statements.
What am I doing wrong here? How can I debug this, I'm not very experience person in angular
Update
I guess I'm using ngRoute and not ui-router
Is there something equivalent for ngRoute that I get the state change on a root scope. Migrating to ui-router seems a big change to do at this point for this purpose

A: Yes you have differents events from the $route provider : $routeChangeStart, $routeChangeSuccess, $routeChangeError
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, next, current) {
    // TODO
});

The doc : https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute/service/$route

UNITED SPORTING ARMS, INC.
United Sporting Arms manufactured high-quality, heavy-duty single-action revolvers in several locations in NY, CT, ID, NC, and AZ from about 1972 to 1999. Initial production model was called the Abilene, offered in .357 or .44 Mag., and limited numbers of .45 Colt. The Abilene was acquired by Mossberg. Successor models by United Sporting Arms were the Seville and the El Dorado, both models produced in many variations. The El Dorado was the first all-stainless .44 Magnum single-action on the market. Associated firms producing these models included El Dorado Arms and Sporting Arms, Inc. Most common chambering is .44 Magnum, but a stretched frame variation was produced for longer cartridges such as the.357 Maximum. Other production is reported in .22 LR, .454. Mag, .41 Mag, .45 Win. Mag. and .357 Super Mag. Extremely rare chamberings reportedly include 9mm, .44-40, .32 H&R Mag, .22 K-Hornet, and .218 Mashburn Bee. Any chambering other than .44 Magnum brings a premium. Unusual configurations such as short Sheriff's Models, long Silhouette Models, birds-head grip, unusual factory finishes, and brass grip frame should also bring a premium. Guns made in Hauppauge, NY or Post Falls, ID may bring 10% to 20% less than those made in other locations. Packages including extra barrels and cylinders were offered as Quik-Kit guns, and a premium is added for these additional components.

THE "GET MORE" BANK - Dinn!
TMB Bank unveils "TMB Experience", the new digital retail banking project embraced by a glasshouse design landscape.
The new concept wants to represent a new way to engage customers combining digitization with the human touch to enable the customers to enjoy discovering their real financial needs through 'Avatar' identity creation and exploring products which can help them reach their financial goals.
Mr. Roel Huisman, TMB Chief Retail Banking Officer, said "TMB Experience is another move of TMB to enhance our service with simplicity and convenience, for better customer experience as TMB always wants to 'Make THE Difference' which is meaningful to customers. TMB sees that in light of the disruptive digital technology, a bank branch plays more important role in enhancing customer experience and providing more complex products and services, such as financial planning. As customer's behavior in using banking service has changed, we keep challenging ourselves to constantly provide the best customer experience when using TMB. I'm also pleased to share with you the results from the soft launch of TMB Experience at the Icon Siam. In the past two months, customer satisfaction score has increased to 95% while we achieve double growth of new customers. The interpretation of TMB Experience conceptual idea has been translated into design by 'DINN! from Italy who has involved in the design works for various financial institutions. The company has been commissioned to work in many countries worldwide and was recognized with several design awards, such as the "2018 Retail Award" by Forum Retail, Milano in the category of "Best Store Layout".
Ms. Waranee Wanrat, TMB Head of Channel Planning & Implementation, said, "The experience that customers will get from TMB Experience are the new services that are not for sales purpose. We have created a journey which has been designed for customers to discover their real financial needs and explore the suitable products and services which can help them get more.

The Lib Dem leader called for Mr Juncker to be sacked and mocked his 'vision' of a United States of Europe.
Fervent pro-European Sir Vince said Juncker should be replaced by someone 'more attuned to reality and public opinion'.
His comments, made at the start of his party's annual conference in Bournemouth, come after outspoken Eurocrat Juncker, who earns nearly £300,000 a year, said Britain would 'regret' Brexit and set out new plans to expand the EU.
In a move bound to be seen as a way of countering criticism that the anti-Brexit Lib Dems are 'too soft' on Brussels, Sir Vince said in an interview with The Mail on Sunday: 'Juncker embodies many of the EU's failings. He is pompous, self-important and overpaid.
'It is people like him who give the European project a bad name. Juncker puts off a lot of people in Britain who would otherwise be well disposed to the EU.
Figures like Juncker were to blame for public resentment of an elite that had a 'sense of entitlement and a lack of humility,' said Sir Vince, adding: 'People in power have to be sensitive enough to know it's there – but Juncker just doesn't get it.' Earlier this week he described Juncker as an 'extreme federalist'.
Sir Vince has called for a second EU referendum to be held at the end of the Brexit talks in 2019, in the hope that the result of the last one can be overturned. If he succeeds, he said replacing Juncker would be his next objective.
In contrast, Sir Vince said he had 'a lot of time for' EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier – and recalled wryly that when he was Business Secretary in the Tory-Lib Dem Coalition Government, Barnier travelled to London on a mission to discover how the UK, which might now leave the single market, was 'implementing it more enthusiastically' than other EU countries.

We work hand-in-hand with evangelical churches to send and receive gospel workers equipped for cross-cultural mission wherever people live and die without hearing God's good news.
We work to see gospel workers worldwide wherever there is no gospel witness.


The anonymous source told the website that the two executives discussed the possibility of doing business together, in a partnership or, in the acquisition of Tesla by Apple. Thus, the company that created the iPod would have a strongman in terms of public exposure (Musk), in similar terms to Steve Jobs. Moreover, it could penetrate the automotive segment with more propriety, and even develop something like an "iCar".
Another possibility mentioned by the SF Chronicle with regard to the topic of conversation between Perica and Musk is the co-development of a plant to produce batteries last generation, for both cars and electronics.

DBU student Brooke Sands serves at River Legacy Park in Arlington during SWAT 2018.
DALLAS—Over 760 students filled the Dallas Baptist University campus to participate in SWAT, Student Welcome and Transition, marking the largest SWAT in school history.
After two full days of excitement, the incoming new students along with 125 upperclassman leaders spread across the DFW Metroplex to spend the day stocking food pantries, painting facilities at after-school programs, planting gardens, and much more. The teams of students spanned all the way from Midlothian and Waxahachie in the south, to Dallas in the northeast, to Fort Worth and Arlington in the west.
This years' group served at over twenty DFW locations, including Mission Arlington in Arlington, Beautiful Feet Ministries in Fort Worth, Brother Bill's Helping Hand in Dallas, and Voice of Hope in Dallas.
DBU students serve at River Legacy Park in Arlington during SWAT 2018.
In the fall of 1988, DBU's on-campus population numbered some 293 students, housed in one of three residence halls.
This fall, 30 years later, DBU will be home to some 2,125 on-campus students. Moving beyond just the residence halls, these future Christian leaders fill apartments, brownstones, and townhomes, creating a unique atmosphere of excitement.
DBU's Campus Housing is set to expand again this fall with the opening of two brownstone buildings, providing an additional set of housing options for students and meeting the continuing demand.
Currently, DBU is constructing a new Residential College on campus, which in its first phase will provide additional housing for some 70 students.


"What about Accrete? What problems are you solving? What do you do?"
Investors are drowning in information and it is mentally exhausting to search through all of this information looking for insights that could move markets. The consequence is that investors are ending up making bias decisions that lead to underperformance, our mission at Accrete.AI is to help investors overcome these biases caused by information overload, make better decisions, and generate alpha in the digital age of markets. We accomplish this by building smart investment tools that are continuously reading and understanding huge volumes of information in a very specific context and extracting actionable insights buried in the linguistic nuances of natural language. Accrete pushes these insights to portfolio managers analysts and traders so they can spend less time searching for information and more time making well informed decisions. We launched our company in May 2017, today we have 27 people on the tea, we are based in lower manhattan, we have world class AI scientists, industry veterans, that have a lot of experience building alpha generating tools. We are really excited about some of the trends we are seeing.
"What can you tell us about Accrete's approach to Artificial Intelligence?"
Prior to launching Accrete we spent many years trying to automate cognitive tasks to help human investors solve decision problems in financial markets. The primary challenge we faced was in order to generate accurate results you had to remove bias from machines and create systems that were adaptive to changing contexts. Fundamentally all of these problems are rooted in the lack of relevant training data. We found we couldn't solve very general problems, but could solve very specific problems, and we did that be leveraging human expert networks together with artificial neural networks to create an approach that produced results that are more accurate, efficient and scalable that what humans or machines could achieve independently. A core principle of Accrete is this idea of the 'Glass Box' we don't believe fundamentally that a human will find the outputs of a complex system like a machine to be useful unless they can trust those outputs. We deliver out insights through what we call a 'Glass Box' that exposes some of the reasoning behind our outputs and provide users with reproducible research so they can extend our work and find new use cases for our applications.
"What more can you tell us about Accrete's products?"
We have four products in the market today and several more on the way, we have; Rumor Hound which continuously scours the web for actionable M&A rumors, Topic Deltas measures and monitoring linguistic nuance and sentiment shifts in earnings calls, Data Distillery analysis the supply chain and extracts intelligence looking for risk and opportunities, and Rational Exuberance parses confusing fed speak.
Rumor Hound is really relevant today because of the M&A environment, and one of the big problems analysts, traders and portfolio managers face is that they are struggling to keep ahead of some of these market moving M&A rumors. For example, most investors are getting information from traditional highly credible news sources like Reuters, CNBC, Bloomberg... but these sources are often missing a lot of the market moving M&A rumors that emanate from countless digital data sources including chat rooms, Social media, articles, blogs etc. Rumor Hound understands exactly what a M&A rumor looks like including all of its linguistic nuance and its continuously reading 10's and thousands of different digital data sources and when it finds a M&A rumor, it pushes those rumors to users along with the target company, the potential acquirer, credibility score based on Alexa rankings, social media influence, as well as recency scores. Accrete transcends 'Black box' outputs as we include the actual source URL where the M&A rumor was extracted from and the rumor snippet itself so that users can validate whether or not that rumor makes sense and is actionable. We have been modeling these insights against market behavior and we are finding predictive patterns. For example, in January 2018 Rumor Hound detected M&A rumor chatter on Juno ($JUNO) a bio-technology stock and that rumor activity increased in momentum over the next couple of days and we had an 80%+ forecast that the rumor would impact the stock price by 5-10%. We were actually shocked that 6 days later on January 22nd that Celgene Corporation ($CELG) announced that they were buying Juno. We heard a big hedge fund was actually short Juno stock, they didn't get ahead of this rumor and turned into a mini disaster within their portfolio. Rumor Hound is really useful as a disaster insurance tool for a lot of these big funds, as well as an idea generation tool, an awareness tool, as well as a straight out trading tool.
"Why not just trade these ideas yourself?"
We think there is a handful of really sophisticated investment firms that are working on a lot of these problems but we see a greater opportunity in democratizing some of these technologies from a terminal value perspective and capturing that opportunity as opposed to just trading these ourselves.
"On the road to startup it's important to have key strategic partners, who are your key strategic partners and what can you tell us?"
When we launched Accrete we launched with the strategic backing of IBM. IBM provides us with scalable secure computational infrastructure, as well as enterprise distribution. What's really interesting (and is kind of a bigger trend we are seeing) big companies like IBM and their companies and partners are spread so thin in that they don't really dig deep into solving domain specific problems. In other words, they are not looking into trying to identify actionable M&A rumors, but a lot of their customers are demanding artificially intelligent tools that solve real world problems. So, IBM will take our innovation as a distribution partner and acting as a reverse channel partner they will distribute our innovation to enterprises wrapped up inside of enterprise integration services, support, compliance, data security. It's great for us because it provides turnkey integration into larger enterprises and we help bridge this enterprise innovation gap.

Ongoing mask mandate for travelers: 'It will be enforced, period'
(CNN) — Travel is a big exception for new mask guidance in the United States, and the transportation industry says it will continue to strictly enforce mask use.
"This doesn't include transportation," Association of Flight Attendants President Sara Nelson told CNN. "There's a mask order in place and it will be enforced, period."
The Transportation Security Administration said Thursday that the federal transportation mask mandate will remain in place through September 13 on commercial flights, trains, buses, boats and in terminals.
"This federal requirement throughout the transportation system seeks to minimize the spread of Covid-19 on public transportation," TSA said in a statement. "We will continue to work closely with the CDC to evaluate the need for these directives."
Airlines For America, the industry's top lobbying group, said US airlines will enforce the mask requirement as long as the mandate is in place.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Friday called on travelers to respect those who enforce the mask requirements.
"It is very important for travelers, commuters to recognize that those workers who are operating these systems, these vehicles — from a bus operator to a flight attendant — they are carrying out the mandates, the rules and the guidance that have been given to them," Buttigieg said at a Washington Post event.
"It's really important to show respect and support for them as they go about their jobs trying to keep everybody safe," he added.
How people will react to the exception for travel to the CDC's new guidance remains to be seen.
The recent uptick in angry passengers on board flights is a "huge concern," the head of the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
The agency says it has received more than 1,300 reports of unruly passenger incidents in the last three months, beyond just mask issues.
"I am always concerned," said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson. "That's what this zero tolerance policy is all about — to make sure that we get this situation under control."

This sun sign defines being genius, smart and intelligent, and they also like being called one, making them feel obliged for the same.
The relation of an Aquarius man and Aquarius woman is based on the amount of freedom and independence that one partner gives to another, which forms the basis of the Aquarius man Aquarius woman love compatibility.
Aquarians are really creative as individuals and are sometimes referred to as someone who attains great qualities of being leaders and front runners of the society, ruled by the planet, Uranus, which is also know as the God of the sky and the heavens.
Both the Aquarius man and the Aquarius woman are often known to be confused, who do not notice things around, thus being reluctant on understanding their surroundings, almost staying inside their heads all the time.
This sun sign is very sensible and pragmatic in nature, making them not a very emotional sun sign. Though we also cannot refer them as cold-blooded, it is important to know that they are not very inclined to being too emotive as beings.
Thus, on a general note, the Aquarius man Aquarius woman compatibility is a blend of trust, love and reliability, in this relationship.
Both the male Aquarius and the female Aquarius are not verbally communicative but they have the ability to convey the information that they want to anyway, which is an appreciable quality that they hold, which gives the Aquarius man and Aquarius woman love compatibility a chance to genuinely flourish.
The communication between a Aquarius male and Aquarius female will thus not neccessarily be very vocal at times, but nevertheless, the messages will be conveyed on a level where the two can reciprocate with each other.
This duo will share a very natural, enchanting and a delightful love affair with a spiritual essence to it, as they represent the symbol of a Water Bearer. They are also very unpredictable by nature, and any set of events happening between the two Aquarians will not be easily comprehendible.
Both the Aquarius man and the Aquarius woman adore friendship, which they look upto. The initial love affair starts with a good friendship which they really admire in a relationship that they look forward to.
Aquarians are very loyal to their partners, and seldom cheat on them, as they believe it is very important in an association like this. They do not appreciate disloyalty and the intention of deceiving one another at any cost.
Inspite of them being practical, logical and very unforseeable, the amount of bonding and understanding that an Aquarius man and Aquarius woman will have is immense. This sun sign is very thoughtful about their partners and will share a very kind and supportive connection with each other.
There is a great amount of appreciation that the Aquarians hold for each other, where they feel a rush of emotions that they will perceive, recognize and acknowledge, for the fellowship that they may experience. To know someone with as certainty as they know themselves is surely a bliss.
The Aquarius man wants her Aquarius woman to be something more than just being a typical wife doing her everyday chores. He wants her to be a life long partner, and not just marriage wise, but as a friend, a fellow traveller, as someone with whom he can share interesting ideas and opinions with, someone with whom he can share his crazy world and experience, and live them together.
The female Aquarius wants the male Aquarius to be something more than just a loyal and an earning husband. She wants to see him as a father figure, a companion, a teacher, and a really good friend who will envisage with her.
She wants that particular sense of love that they both had experienced when they first started seeing each other. She wants the charm, enamour and charisma to be twinkling in the relationship as it was in the initial stages of her love life with him which shall make the Aquarius man and Aquarius woman compatibility full of zeal, excitement and fun.
We now clearly know that the connection formed between Aquarius man and Aquarius woman is unique and beautiful. This make the Aquarius man compatibility with Aquarius woman a successful association.
But there are particular things that have to be taken care of. Like, the fact that both the man and woman Aquarius are obstinate in nature, each one of them in their own ways.
Also, both the Aquarians are oblivious and sometimes unattentive as they both tend to think a lot.
There will be somethings that the male Aquarius wants to change in others and there are somethings that the female Aquarius wants to change in others, but none of them are likely to consider and enhance changes in themselves.
This attitude makes it strenous and demanding, to sustain an exquisite connection between this love match. Their adamant nature will make it all the more troublesome to support their relationship.
But once they overcome this scenario, the compatibility between Aquarius man and Aquarius woman is surely going to soar higher and higher.


The examples provided in this section illustrate how an imaginary ISP company, Example Corp., would implement its access control policy. All the examples explain how to perform a given task from the Console and using an LDIF file.
Example Corp.'s business is to offer a web hosting service and Internet access. Part of Example Corp.'s web hosting service is to host the directories of client companies. Example Corp. actually hosts and partially manages the directories of two medium-sized companies, HostedCompany1 and HostedCompany2. It also provides Internet access to a number of individual subscribers.
Grant anonymous access for read, search, and compare to the entire example tree for Example Corp. employees (Section 13.9.1, "Granting Anonymous Access").
Grant write access to Example Corp. employees for personal information, such as homePhone and homePostalAddress (Section 13.9.2, "Granting Write Access to Personal Entries").
Grant Example Corp. employees the right to add any role to their entry, except certain critical roles (Section 13.9.3, "Restricting Access to Key Roles").
Grant the example.com Human Resources group all rights on the entries in the People branch (Section 13.9.4, "Granting a Group Full Access to a Suffix").
Grant all Example Corp. employees the right to create group entries under the Social Committee branch of the directory and to delete group entries that they own (Section 13.9.5, "Granting Rights to Add and Delete Group Entries").
Grant all Example Corp. employees the right to add themselves to group entries under the Social Committee branch of the directory (Section 13.9.9, "Allowing Users to Add or Remove Themselves from a Group").
Grant access to the directory administrator (role) of HostedCompany1 and HostedCompany2 on their respective branches of the directory tree, with certain conditions such as SSL authentication, time and date restrictions, and specified location (Section 13.9.6, "Granting Conditional Access to a Group or Role").
Deny individual subscribers access to the billing information in their own entries (Section 13.9.7, "Denying Access").
Grant anonymous access to the world to the individual subscribers subtree, except for subscribers who have specifically requested to be unlisted. (This part of the directory could be a consumer server outside of the firewall and be updated once a day.) See Section 13.9.1, "Granting Anonymous Access" and Section 13.9.8, "Setting a Target Using Filtering".
Most directories are run such that you can anonymously access at least one suffix for read, search, or compare. For example, you might want to set these permissions if you are running a corporate personnel directory that you want employees to be able to search, such as a phonebook. This is the case at Example Corp. internally and is illustrated in Section 13.9.1.1, "ACI "Anonymous example.com"".
As an ISP, Example Corp. also wants to advertise the contact information of all of its subscribers by creating a public phonebook accessible to the world. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.1.2, "ACI "Anonymous World"".
Example"; allow (read, search, compare) userdn= "ldap:///anyone"
This example assumes that the aci attribute is added to the dc=example,dc=com entry. The userPassword attribute is excluded from the scope of the ACI.
In the Directory tab, right-click the example node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
Click New to display the Access Control Editor.
In the Users/Groups tab in the ACI name field, type Anonymous example.com. Check that All Users opens in the list of users granted access permission.
In the Rights tab, select the check boxes for read, compare, and search rights. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field. In the attribute table, locate the userPassword attribute, and clear the corresponding check box.
All other check boxes should be selected. This task is easier if you click the Name header to organize the list of attributes alphabetically.
In the Hosts tab, click Add, and in the DNS host filter field, type *.example.com. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
Click OK in the Access Control Editor window.
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=subscribers,dc=example,dc=com entry. It also assumes that every subscriber entry has an unlistedSubscriber attribute which is set to yes or no. The target definition filters out the unlisted subscribers based on the value of this attribute. For details on the filter definition, see Section 13.9.8, "Setting a Target Using Filtering".
In the Directory tab, right-click the Subscribers entry under the example node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
In the Users/Groups tab, in the ACI name field, type Anonymous World. Check that All Users opens in the list of users granted access permission.
In the Rights tab, select the check boxes for read and search rights. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the ou=subscribers,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field.
In the Filter for subentries field, enter a filter which excludes unlisted subscribers ((!(unlistedSubscriber=yes))).
In the attribute table, select the check boxes for the homePhone, homePostalAddress, and mail attributes.
All other check boxes should be clear; if it is easier, click the Check None button to clear the check boxes for all attributes in the table, then click the Name header to organize them alphabetically, and select the appropriate ones.
Many directory administrators want to allow internal users to change some but not all of the attributes in their own entry. The directory administrators at Example Corp. want to allow users to change their own password, home telephone number, and home address, but nothing else. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.2.1, "ACI "Write example.com"".
It is also Example Corp.'s policy to let their subscribers update their own personal information in the example tree, provided that they establish an SSL connection to the directory. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.2.2, "ACI "Write Subscribers"".
By setting this permission, users will also have the right to delete attribute values.
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=people,dc=example,dc=com entry.
In the Directory tab, right-click the people entry under the example node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
Remove All Users from the targeted user list.
Set the Search area to Special Rights, and select Self from the search results list.
Click the Add button to list Self in the list of users who are granted access permission.
Click OK to dismiss the Add Users and Groups dialog box.
In the Rights tab, select the check box for write right. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the ou=people,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field. In the attribute table, select the check boxes for the homePhone, homePostalAddress, and userPassword attributes.
In the Hosts tab, click Add to display the Add Host Filter dialog box. In the DNS host filter field, type *.example.com. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
By setting this permission, you are also granting users the right to delete attribute values.
This example assumes that the aci is added to the ou=subscribers,dc=example,dc=com entry.
Example Corp. subscribers do not have write access to their home address because they might delete the attribute, and Example Corp. needs that information for billing. Therefore, the home address is business-critical information.
In the Rights tab, select the check box for write. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
All other check boxes should be clear; if necessary, click the Check None button to clear the check boxes for all attributes in the table, then click the Name header to organize them alphabetically, and select the appropriate ones.
You can use role definitions in the directory to identify functions that are critical to your business, the administration of your network and directory, or another purpose.
For example, you might create a superAdmin role by identifying a subset of your system administrators that are available at a particular time of day and day of the week at corporate sites worldwide, or you might want to create a First Aid role that includes all members of staff on a particular site that have done first aid training. For information on creating role definitions, see Section 6.2, "Using Roles".
When a role gives any sort of privileged user rights over critical corporate or business functions, consider restricting access to that role. For example, at Example Corp., employees can add any role to their own entry except the superAdmin role. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.3.1, "ACI "Roles"".
Set the Search area in the Add Users and Groups dialog box to Special Rights, and select Self from the search results list.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to use the ou=people,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field.
Most directories have a group that is used to identify certain corporate functions. These groups can be given full access to all or part of the directory. By applying the access rights to the group, you can avoid setting the access rights for each member individually. Instead, you grant users these access rights simply by adding them to the group.
For example, when the Directory Server is set up with a typical process, an administrators group with full access to the directory is created by default.
At Example Corp., the Human Resources group is allowed full access to the ou=people branch of the directory so that they can update the employee database. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.4.1, "ACI "HR"".
Set the Search area to Users and Groups, and type HRgroup in the Search for field.
This example assumes that you have created an HR group or role. For more information on groups and roles, see Chapter 6, Organizing and Grouping Entries.
Click the Add button to list the HR group in the list of users who are granted access permission.
In the Rights tab, click the Check All button.
All check boxes are selected, except for proxy rights.
Some organizations want to allow employees to create entries in the tree if it can increase their efficiency or if it can contribute to the corporate dynamics.
At Example Corp., there is an active social committee that is organized into various clubs, such as tennis, swimming, and skiing. Any Example Corp. employee can create a group entry representing a new club. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.5.1, "ACI "Create Group"". Any Example Corp. employee can become a member of one of these groups. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.9.1, "ACI "Group Members"" under Section 13.9.9, "Allowing Users to Add or Remove Themselves from a Group". Only the group owner can modify or delete a group entry. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.5.2, "ACI "Delete Group"".
This ACI does not grant write permission, which means that the entry creator cannot modify the entry.
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=social committee,dc=example,dc=com entry.
In the Directory tab, right-click the Social Committee entry under the example node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
Set the Search area to Special Rights, and select All Authenticated Users from the search results list.
Click the Add button to list All Authenticated Users in the list of users who are granted access permission.
In the Rights tab, select the check boxes for add, search, and read. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the ou=social committee,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field.
Using the Console is not an effective way of creating this ACI because it requires manually editing the ACI to create the target filter and to check group ownership.
In many cases, when you grant a group or role privileged access to the directory, you want to ensure that those privileges are protected from intruders trying to impersonate your privileged users. Therefore, in many cases, access control rules that grant critical access to a group or role are often associated with a number of conditions.
These conditions are illustrated in a single ACI for each company, HostedCompany1 and HostedCompany2. Because the content of these ACIs is the same, the examples below illustrate the HostedCompany1 ACI only.
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=HostedCompany1,ou=corporate-clients,dc=example,dc=com entry.
In the Directory tab, right-click the HostedCompany1 entry under the example node in the left navigation tree, and choose Set Access Permissions from the pop-up menu to display the Access Control Manager.
Set the Search area to Users and Groups, and type DirectoryAdmin in the Search For field.
Click the Add button to list the administrator's role in the list of users who are granted access permission.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the ou=HostedCompany1,ou=corporate-clients,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field.
In the Hosts tab, click Add to display the Add Host Filter dialog box. In the IP address host filter field, type 255.255.123.234. Click OK.
The IP address must be a valid IP address for the host machine that the HostedCompany1 administrators use to connect to the example directory.
Directory Server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses.
In the Times tab, select the block time corresponding to Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A message appears below the table that specifies the selected time block.
If your directory holds business-critical information, it may be necessary to specifically deny access to it.
For example, Example Corp. wants all subscribers to be able to read billing information such as connection time or account balance under their own entries but explicitly wants to deny write access to that information. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.7.1, "ACI "Billing Info Read"" and Section 13.9.7.2, "ACI "Billing Info Deny"", respectively.
13.9.7.1. ACI "Billing Info Read"
This example assumes that the relevant attributes have been created in the schema and that the ACI is added to the ou=subscribers,dc=example,dc=com entry.
In the Rights tab, select the check boxes for search and read rights. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
This example assumes that you have added the connectionTime and accountBalance attributes to the schema.
13.9.7.2. ACI "Billing Info Deny"
Click the Edit Manually button, and, in the LDIF statement that opens, change the word allow to deny.
In the Targets tab, click This Entry to display the ou=subscribers,dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field. In the attribute table, select the check boxes for the connectionTime and accountBalance attributes.
This example assumes that the connectionTime and accountBalance attributes were added to the schema.
To set access controls that allow access to a number of entries that are spread across the directory, consider using a filter to set the target.
Because search filters do not directly name the object for which you are managing access, it is easy to allow or deny access to the wrong objects unintentionally, especially as your directory becomes more complex. Additionally, filters can make it difficult to troubleshoot access control problems within your directory.
For example, the following ACI grants user bjensen write access to the department number, home phone number, home postal address, and manager attributes for all members of the accounting organization.
Before you can set these permissions, you must create the accounting branch point ou=accounting,dc=example,dc=com). You can create organizational unit branch points in the Directory tab on the Directory Server Console.
Many directories set ACIs that allow users to add or remove themselves from groups. This is useful, for example, for allowing users to add and remove themselves from mailing lists.
At Example Corp., employees can add themselves to any group entry under the ou=social committee subtree. This is illustrated in Section 13.9.9.1, "ACI "Group Members"".
Set the Search area in the Add Users and Groups dialog box to Special Rights, and select All Authenticated Users from the search results list.
In the Rights tab, select the check box for selfwrite. Make sure the other check boxes are clear.
In the Targets tab, type dc=example,dc=com suffix in the Target directory entry field. In the attribute table, select the check box for the member attribute.
The client application's bind DN is "uid=MoneyWizAcctSoftware,ou=Applications,dc=example,dc=com".
The targeted subtree to which the client application is requesting access is ou=Accounting,dc=example,dc=com.
An accounting administrator with access permissions to the ou=Accounting,dc=example,dc=com subtree exists in the directory.
With this ACI in place, the MoneyWizAcctSoftware client application can bind to the directory and send an LDAP command such as ldapsearch or ldapmodify that requires the access rights of the proxy DN.
If the client performs an ldapsearch command, the command must include the -e authzid=dn: control to give the proxy account for a simple bind, as in the example, or use the -X auhzid argument for proxy authentication with a SASL bind.
Both the real user and the proxy user are recorded in the access logs. The real user is recorded as the dn, and the proxied user is recored as the authorization ID, authzid.
The client or application (MoneyWizAcctSoftware) binds as itself but is granted the privileges of the proxy entry (AcctAdministrator). The client does not need the password of the proxy entry.
There are some restrictions on binding with proxy authorization. You cannot use the Directory Manager's DN (root DN) as a proxy DN.
Additionally, if Directory Server receives more than one proxied authentication control, an error is returned to the client application, and the bind attempt is unsuccessful.

Q: Score on the test set is higher than on the training set, wrong approach? I have a relatively small, imbalanced data set (~3k datapoints, 12 classes). I want to tune the parameters of a RandomForestClassifier and eventually test the model.
Currently I'm doing it like this, but strangely it yields higher scores on the test set than on the training set (I used cohen_kappa_score and accuracy)
#Split data in training and test set (70/30 stratified split)
x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X_Distances, Y, test_size=0.3, random_state=42, stratify=Y)

#Scorings used for parameter tuning evaluation
scoring = {'Accuracy' : make_scorer(accuracy_score), 'Recall' : 'recall_macro', 'Kappa' : make_scorer(cohen_kappa_score)}

#Initializing of parameter ranges
params_randomSearch = {"min_samples_leaf": np.arange(1,30,2),
              "min_samples_split": np.arange(2,20,2),
              "max_depth": np.arange(2, 20, 2),
              "min_weight_fraction_leaf": np.arange(0. ,0.4, 0.1),
              "n_estimators": np.arange(10, 1000, 100),
              "max_features" : ['auto', 'sqrt', 'log2', None],
              "criterion" : ['entropy', 'gini']}

if __name__ == '__main__':
    rs = RandomizedSearchCV(RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42), param_distributions=params_randomSearch, scoring = scoring, cv = 3, refit = 'Kappa', n_iter=60, n_jobs=-1, random_state=42)
    rs.fit(x_train, y_train)
    print('Best Score: ', rs.best_score_, '\nBest parameters: ', rs.best_params_)
    y_predict = rs.best_estimator_.predict(x_test)
    acc = cohen_kappa_score(y_test, y_predict)

Results - Accuracy:
best_score_ = {float64} 0.5103216514642342
best_params_ = {dict} {'n_estimators': 310, 'min_weight_fraction_leaf': 0.0, 'min_samples_split': 12, 'min_samples_leaf': 5, 'max_features': 'auto', 'max_depth': 14, 'criterion': 'entropy'}

# 1. Eval
Accuracy of base (default) classifier on test set:  0.47928331466965285
Accuracy of classifier with best_params of RandomSearchCV on test set:  0.5666293393057111

Same results for the cohen_kappa_score, interestingley I get the exact same model using 'Kappa' as refit score
I don't know if this is an acceptable result or if something is wrong with my approach. Since the dataset is small, maybe the test set is just "easier"?
Another random seed for the data split:
random_state = 1 on data split results with cohen_kappa:
best_params_ = {dict} {'n_estimators': 310, 'min_weight_fraction_leaf': 0.0, 'min_samples_split': 12, 'min_samples_leaf': 5, 'max_features': 'auto', 'max_depth': 14, 'criterion': 'entropy'}
best_score_ = {float64} 0.4302884321273102
best_estimator on test set: 0.45628479220654583

1939 Loislyn 2022
Loislyn Blanchard Scardino
August 11, 1939 — December 1, 2022
Bay St. Louis, MS
Loislyn Susan Blanchard Scardino, born on the 11 th of August, 1939, entered into eternal life on the 1 st of December, 2022.
She and her husband, Angelo Joseph 'A.J.' Scardino Jr., shared over 56 years together in a life devoted to God and their 10 children. Living a life guided by faith and strong sense of commitment, Loislyn had an unwavering love for Jesus Christ and a fervent commitment to the Catholic Church. She maintained deep devotion to our holy mother Mary, with special dedication to Our Lady of Prompt Succor.
Born in New Orleans, Loislyn was raised on the west bank in Gretna, Louisiana. She graduated from Ursuline Academy and studied accounting at Southwestern Louisiana where during her first week of college, she met the love of her life. They married 4 months later.
As a strong matriarch, Loislyn built loving homes for her family in Westwego, Gretna, and Covington, Louisiana and in Nashville, Tennessee. Then for 40 years called Pass Christian, Mississippi her home. Her enormous dinner table was always open to those brave enough to step into the joyous chaos of her big red house. In addition to raising her own 5 girls and 5 boys, Loislyn welcomed countless extended children into her family, providing love, care and occasional discipline to all that needed it. Many looked to her as a 'second mother'.
Loislyn was beautiful, inside and out, and an inspiration to all who met her. Family, friends and acquaintances found her gracious, caring, loving, hardworking, and of the highest ethical standards. For decades, she worked tirelessly alongside A.J. as entrepreneurs and business owners: trophy company, pig farm (in case you ever wondered why she collected porcelain pigs), engineering consultancy, risk management company, and even after retirement, she worked at an insurance agency. She spent her most recent years living with her daughter in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
Loislyn was preceded in death by her parents, Lamie & Lynn Blanchard, her husband A.J., her daughter Lynda Scardino Williams and husband Daniel.
Her legacy lives on through 9 surviving children: Angelyn Scardino Treutel Zeringue (Mickey), Debra Scardino Treutel (Steve), Michael Jude Scardino (Patricia), Dennis John Scardino (Joyce), Kevin James Scardino (Sherrie), Matthew Joseph Scardino (Connally), Jan Scardino Latino (Marty), Paul Jason Scardino, Mary Scardino Nash (Dylan), 15 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. In Loislyn's final years, Deirdre Bradley became a trusted friend and part of our Scardino family.
A Catholic Mass celebrating the life of Loislyn Scardino will be held on 17 th December, 2022 at St. Augustine Seminary in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Visitation will be hosted by the family at 10:00 AM followed by the most Holy Mass commencing at 11:00 AM. Following mass, there will be a private burial service at Gulf Coast Memorial Cemetery and Mausoleum on Longfellow Drive in Bay St Louis.
In lieu of flowers please consider a tax deductible donation to the A.J. & Loislyn Scardino Fund for the benefit of Our Lady Academy and St Stanislaus scholarships for students who exhibit faith and discipline. c/o Pershing-AJ & Loislyn Scardino Fund, 2054 Gause Boulevard East Slidell, LA 70461.
Edmond Fahey Funeral Home in Bay St. Louis, MS is honored to serve the family of Loislyn Blanchard Scardino.

24 – The Next Day: 4 am to 5 am
Last time: Fortunately, Jack failed falling into Niagara Falls. Manilow believed bride brought bail; she bailed. Curtis car cruised, carefully crossing Canada. Maniac Marwans make mucus mortar: Lincoln's loogie likely – TNT Toilet!
The following occurred between 4 am and 5 am – Time to make the donuts.
4:00 am – The toilet, which is hanging out of Lincoln's nose by a prima cord like a giant booger, continues to descend. Jack tells Curtis that unless they can stop the Marwan Brothers, Lincoln and the rest of the presidents on Mount Rushmore are going to have their faces blown off the mountain. Jack hops the fence and runs towards the monument, telling Curtis, "If you have a clear shot at the guys in Lincoln's nose, shoot them!" Curtis says to himself, "That is not a sentence I expected to hear today".
4:01 am – Jack gets a few hundred feet away from the monument when machine gun fire erupts from the top of Washington's head. Jack dives for cover and yells to Curtis to cover him. Jack waits for the Curtis to start shooting, but nothing happens. He looks over and sees Curtis desperately looking for his gun. Jack waits and makes a mad dash for a boulder nearly beneath Lincoln's nose. Jack takes careful aim and shoots. The thug lowering the toilet is hit, and he falls from Lincoln's nose. It's about this time that Jack realizes that his expert aim has taken out the bad guy, but he forgot to completely think this through since the explosive laden toilet is now falling towards the ground, and will impact very close to him.
4:02 am – Jack starts shooting. A bullet hits the toilet in midair and it explodes. Jack dives for cover while pieces of toilet fall around him. Marwan yells that Jack looks a little flushed, laughs, and disappears over the top of Washington's head.
4:03 am – Somewhere outside of Las Vegas, the limousine that took ex-President Manilow stops by the side of the road. We can hear a loud whining noise, which turns out to be Manilow. Two men dressed in black suits get out with Manilow, and they move to the back of the car. They open the trunk and shove him inside. We continue to hear muffled whining noises from Manilow as the two men take out the earplugs they were wearing. One of them looks at the other and says, "I don't think that guy is ever going to shut up". Someone inside the limo tells them to hurry up, which they do. The limo drives off.
4:06 am – Jack has walked back to where Curtis and RoboEdgar are standing, and Curtis gives Jack a weak smile. Jack asks why Curtis didn't shoot, and Curtis explains that he must have left his gun in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile back at the Grand Canyon. Curtis turns and says, "RoboEdgar, I left my gun in the Wienermobile. I want you to go get it, and bring it to me". RoboEdgar salutes Curtis, and blasts off.
4:12 am – Jack and Curtis arrive at their car in the parking lot. Curtis is just about to open the door to the car when Jack tells him to stop. Jack tells Curtis that he thinks the car is booby trapped. Curtis asks Jack why he thinks that. Jack says, "Number one, we've been away from our car for a while. Number two, the Marwans have been trying to kill me all day now. Number three, the entire passenger seat is filled with explosives.
4:14 am – The Marwan brothers are driving down the road. They're alone in the car; all the thugs are gone. Marwan is laughing manically. He stops, reads a little more out of the book he's holding ("How to Laugh Like a Criminal Mastermind"), and tries to laugh again. Julian interrupts him and reminds Marwan that there isn't another Thugmart within a thousand miles of here, and that it's going to be impossible to get more thugs before daybreak.
4:16 am – Jack is on the JackPhone using the speaker phone feature with Chloe, trying to figure out what to do next. Curtis writes notes about what Chloe is saying. Curtis drops his pen, and when he bends down to retrieve it, he finds something lying on the ground beneath the car. Curtis tells Jack that he thinks he found a clue. Jack asks how he knows it's a clue, and Curtis holds up a box for the game Clue. Jack says that the Marwans are nothing if not subtle. They carefully open the box, and find a map sitting inside. It's got the Indianapolis Motor Speedway circled.
4:18 am – Curtis says, "Well, that's great. We know where they're probably headed, but we have no way of getting there." Jack agrees, and asks Chloe for her advice. Chloe says that Jack should do what he always does. Jack looks at Curtis, and Curtis says, "She's right, Jack." Jack shrugs, pulls out his gun and shoots the car in the approximate area where its thigh would be, if cars actually had thighs, and then says that he's not sure how that will help.
4:20 am – Jack decides that the best thing they can do at this point is go to the main road and try to flag down a passing motorist. Curtis starts to say something about not having a flag, but thinks better of it when he realizes what kind of mood that Jack is in at the moment.
4:22 am – A semi driving down the road stops when Jack and Curtis wave it down. The passenger side opens up, and they're surprised to find a large orangutan sitting there grinning at them. The driver says, "Oh, don't mind Clyde. He won't hurt you." Jack and Curtis look at each other and tell the driver that they made a mistake. The driver says, "Suit yourself", the orangutan shuts the door, and the truck drives off.
4:24 am – As luck would have it, the very next truck that passes by stops too. Jack and Curtis go to the passenger side, and when the door opens, a chimpanzee is sitting there. Jack and Curtis look exasperated. The driver says, "Oh, don't mind Bear. He won't hurt you." Curtis says, "What is it with truckers and monkeys tonight?", and looks at Jack. Jack says, "I think we should take it. I don't even want to know what's going to be in the next truck." The driver introduces himself as Billy Joe McKay. Jack tells Billy Joe that they're from CTU, and that he'd appreciate it if they could get to Indianapolis as soon as possible. Jack says that he'd like to see about "Curtis-izing" the engine.
4:31 am – In what seems like no time at all, we see the same truck barreling down 16th Street in Indianapolis. It pulls into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They drive over to the pit area where the pit crews are preparing stock car time trials later that day. The truck pulls to a stop, and immediately a pit crew comes out of no where and starts jacking up the cab of the truck so that all the tires can be pulled off. Suddenly endorsement stickers are plastered all over the windshield of the truck, and they can't see through the windows anymore.
4:33 am – Billy Joe gets out of the truck, and is immediately surrounded by a group of people who put endorsement stickers all over him too. Jack rolls down the window of the truck, shoots his gun off into the air, and yells, "STOP!". The pit crew and guys with the endorsement stickers all apologize and tell Jack that they're sorry, but it's just force of habit.
4:34 am – Jack uses the Jack phone to tell Chloe to upload a picture of the Marwan brothers to his JackPhone. Jack shows everyone the picture of Marwan and his brother, and asks if anyone has seen them. They all stare at the picture. Jack tells them that these two are international terrorists, and need to be found immediately. One of the crew guys pipes up and asks Jack why two little boys would be considered terrorists. Jack looks at the picture he's been showing, and it's shows the Marwans as children at the beach standing next to a sandcastle with lit dynamite stuffed into its sides, and the caption "Good Times. Good Times." Curtis takes one look at the picture and tells Jack, "If you think I'm going to do a Jimmy Walker impression right now, you're crazy".
4:36 am – As they're standing there, a car goes zooming past them on the track. One of the crew guys says that car isn't supposed to be out on the track this early. Jack looks at the car with his binoculars, and sees that the car is covered with Hokey Pokey Toilet Company endorsement stickers. The car circles around and enters pit row. Instead of slowing down to stop, it shifts into high gear and heads straight for them.
4:37 am – Curtis yells, "Run for cover!" and most of the pit crew immediately dive over a wall next to them. Jack says, "Not this time" and steps out onto the pit roadway right into the path of the car. The car adjusts to drive right to where Jack is standing. Jack pulls out his gun and shoots the driver side window three times, but the car keeps coming.
4:38 am – Jack gives a surprised look to his gun for a split second, and then dives out of the way just as the car passes. The car skids sideways as it slams on its breaks, attempting to turn back around to take another run at Jack. Jack shoots twice. One of the bullets hits the car in the gas tank. The car blows up in spectacular explosion, sending metal and endorsement stickers all over the track. One of the stickers hits Curtis smack in the mouth and he falls over backwards from the force of it.
4:39 am – Marwan, still in another car with Julian, slams his fist into the screen of the remote control device he's holding, and yells a word too naughty to be printed on this portion of the Internet. Julian tells him to never mind Jack Bauer, since they still have to find the secret formula that will help Marwan stop from becoming a zombie.
4:41 am – Curtis attempts to pull the sticker off his face while Jack goes to see if everyone is all right. Curtis tries to yell something, but it's muffled because of the sticker on his mouth. Jack says, "Cleaner?" Curtis shakes his head and points to the sky. Jack looks and sees what looks like a blimp off in the distance, some miles north of them. Jack stares for a moment and says, "That's the weirdest looking blimp I've ever seen…" Billy Joe says, "If I didn't know better, I would say that's the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!" Jack and Curtis's eyes go wide. At that moment, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile tilts in an odd way, and suddenly plummets to the ground. Curtis says, "Oh no! He dropped it!"
4:43 am – Jack asks one of the pit crew guys to borrow one of the stock cars. The pit crew guy points at a car in the far end of the pit, and says, "Take that one. No one ever wants to use that one." Jack and Curtis run for the car.
4:44 am – The camera pans to the streets of Indianapolis which are relatively quiet at this time in the morning. Suddenly there's a loud engine revving noise, and a pink Mary Kay Cosmetics stock car comes zooming out of the Speedway, headed back down 16th street to the highway.
4:47 am – Chloe is on the phone with Jack. She tells him that Curtis should take the next exit, because that's where RoboEdgar's signal is coming from. Jack asks where they are, and Chloe tells them they're in a town called "Fishers". Curtis drives through a neighborhood to some homes in the back, where they find the Wienermobile has landed in the front yard of a house. RoboEdgar is standing in front of the house with the home's owner, John, along with many other people in the cul-de-sac where the Wienermobile landed. Curtis asks Edgar, "Why didn't you just get my gun like I asked?" Jack puts his hand on Curtis's shoulder, and says, "You said, 'RoboEdgar, I left my gun in the Wienermobile. I want you to go get it, and bring it to me', and that's exactly what he tried to do." Curtis smacks himself on the forehead, and tells himself to be more specific next time. As Curtis retrieves his gun, Jack goes to John and tells him that if he ever wondered what happened to the Wienermobile, now he has one of his very own.
4:49 am – A loud scream comes out of the speaker on Jack's phone, which startles Jack. It's Chloe. She says, "I hate it when you stop talking to me right in the middle of a conversation. She says, "They're headed for Chicago for the Field Museum." Jack tells Curtis this and tells RoboEdgar to follow them.
4:50 am – While they're headed to Chicago, Jack looks out his window for RoboEdgar to make sure he's still following them, but Jack doesn't see him. RoboEdgar has disappeared again.
4:52 am – Curtis' amazing driving powers are once again in effect, and they arrive in Chicago despite having to drive the Indiana Toll Road and its construction. However, despite having made such great time getting there, Jack and Curtis are now stopped on the highway in Chicago. Curtis starts to freak out a little bit about being stopped on the highway. Jack tries to calm him down. Jack tells Curtis that this is the "traffic jam" that he talked about before. Curtis stammers that he thought Jack was just making that up as a scary story, and asks for it to just go away. Jack tells him that there's nothing he can do about it.
4:55 am – Suddenly, we hear a loud crash behind the car. Jack looks back, and sees RoboEdgar, who appears to have stopped by a White Castle on this way to Chicago, because he's holding about fifty of White Castle Hamburgers with one of his arms. RoboEdgar waves at Jack.
4:57 am – Curtis is still shaking as Jack tells RoboEdgar to get them all to the Field Museum. RoboEdgar reaches down, lifts the car up with one hand and deftly balancing the White Castle hamburgers in the other, takes off towards the museum. Curtis looks genuinely relieved.
4:58 am – They land on the front steps of the Field Museum, and a traffic officer is already there writing a ticket for the Marwan Brother's car, which is next to the front steps. The Marwans are nowhere to be seen. The officer warns them not to park there, and Jack flashes his badge as he heads for the museum entrance.
4:59 am – Standing outside of the museum looking in, Jack sees the Marwans inside, running towards the back of the museum. They disappear around a corner.
5:00 am – Time's up!

The pair were recently photographed together at Heathrow Airport.
Actor Ashley Benson has remained tight lipped about her rumoured romance with model Cara Delevingne - - telling People Now that she prefers to keep quiet about who she's dating.
The Pretty Little Liars star added that it can get pretty tricky when it comes to living a normal life in front of the lens of the paparazzi -- especially in Los Angeles.
"That's one good thing about living in New York — I can live kind of a normal lifestyle," she said.
Rumours that the pair were dating began circling when they were papped leaving a Lauryn Hill Concert together in New York in May this year.
More recently, Benson was photographed kissing Delevingne at Heathrow Airport on August 14, just a few days after the model's 26th birthday.
Delevingne uploaded photos to Instagram of her birthday celebrations with friends Zoë Kravitz, Suki Waterhouse, Sienna Miller and Margot Robbie all in attendance.
Benson is pictured enjoying the festivities that seemed to include tiny saxophones, giant bows and mermaid costumes.
If Cara and Ashley are in fact dating, their astrological pairing has more than a few power couples to follow.
Cara is a fiery Leo and Ashley is a headstrong Capricorn – and they could be following in the footsteps of iconic duos including Barack and Michelle Obama, Iman and David Bowie, Fred Armisen and Elisabeth Moss as well as Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis.

Introduction: Pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) and pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) are severe but highly treatable postinfectious inflammatory brain conditions. Despite published diagnostic and treatment guidelines for this condition, there are long delays in obtaining appropriate care. The reasons for these delays are poorly understood. We sought to identify health care system barriers to timely treatment by examining cases of PANDAS/PANS occurring in children of health care professionals.
Method: We recruited families via e-mail request through the PANDAS Physicians Network. Participating parents completed a structured questionnaire and provided a written case description.
Results: Eleven families completed data collection, representing a broad spectrum of disease (child disease onset age 4-15, 7 males/4 females, mild to severe). Parents included 11 physicians, 2 mental health professionals, 2 nurses, and a PharmD. Nine cases (82%) had "very delayed" diagnosis and treatment (>4 weeks after onset). The most commonly encountered causes for treatment delay were clinician lack of awareness (82%), clinician skepticism (82%), overdependence on diagnostic testing (91%), and out-of-pocket expenses >$100 US (82%). Other common challenges included difficulties finding a provider to spearhead care (64%), psychological misdiagnosis (55%), and children's suppression of behaviors during assessments (55%).
Conclusions: We found numerous barriers to treatment of PANDAS/PANS among children of health care providers. Our findings suggest that even among the medically sophisticated, PANDAS/PANS diagnosis and treatment remains challenging. Improvement in PANDAS/PANS education of clinicians who may encounter children with this disorder is 1 key step toward addressing our identified barriers.

Cary Arts Organizations: The Cary Players
March 11, 2021 /2 Comments/in Arts, Community, Featured, News /by Ashley Kairis
Cary, NC — Non-profit arts organizations in Cary have played a huge role in keeping some joy alive for the community through the pandemic. Today, we're highlighting The Cary Players, a community theatre company.
Celebrating 20 Years in Cary
The Cary Arts Center lit up for Pride month in June, 2020.
Founded in 2001 by Dan Martschenko, the Cary Players organization was built on the desire to bring the art of theatre to Cary and provide its citizens with opportunities to enhance and showcase their theatrical talents.
In the theatre company's 20 years, they've brought in more than 52,000 patrons and have produced more than 65 full-length shows since their very first production called "Our Town" in January 2003.
Pre-Covid, The Cary Players had a busy schedule with four full-length productions each year, one or two classes or workshops and lots of behind-the-scenes work with set building, costume making and rehearsals.
The organization was in the middle of rehearsals for Shrek the Musical when the pandemic "lowered the curtain," said Chief Operating Officer, Debra Grannan, who's been on the Cary Players' Board of Directors since 2004.
"We know the director, the musicians and most of the cast members are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to get back to work on this fun show," said Grannan.
Pandemic Delivers Tough Blow to the Arts
Live theatre across the globe was put on hold when the Coronavirus spread and Grannan says the Cary Players were no exception. In true spirit of theatrical arts, the show went on virtually.
While no plays have been live-streamed, the team behind the scenes has continued to work on projects that were in the works before the shutdowns. Cary Players are working now with Amazing Places Productions to create "The Story of Cary," which will be unveiled as part of the town's 150th Anniversary Celebration.
"We've continued to meet as a board virtually. We've had a few play-reading Zoom meetings to try out new scripts and we've continued to provide volunteers for projects, such as The Triangle Radio Service and the Public Service Announcements for "Mask Up Cary," said Grannan.
The Cary Players also produced a look back at past productions of A Christmas Story and shared this memory on YouTube. Additionally, they did a video production of their annual awards ceremony with the help of a small group of volunteers.
Experiencing The Cary Players in Action
When it comes to the experience the patrons get for their tickets, the Cary Players are all about providing an atmosphere focused on pure entertainment.
"We look for scripts that are family-friendly and will have broad audience appeal. When people come to the theatre for a Cary Players show, we want them to feel comfortable," said Grannan.
Have a Knack for Theatre? Get Involved!
This community theatre company has open arms for people with an interest in theatre arts. Auditions are always open to anyone and there are many opportunities for people with technical skills to be part of a community theatre company.
"Each production creates opportunities for people to be involved in multiple ways," said Grannan. "In a typical season, we have four different directors. We have produced some original works by local playwrights, but most of our shows tend to be well-known titles."
There is always room for volunteers too and at the moment, the Cary Players have openings on their volunteer-based Board of Directors.
Cary's theatre fans can keep up to date with the Cary Players on their website and Facebook page.

The Cary Players are a local treasure!
TJ Cawley says:
Our family had a great experience a few years ago when our son was in a production and the rest of us helped with sets etc. The Cary Players is a wonderful organization-everyone always has a smile on their face!

'Warrior' Renewed For Season 3
Apr 05, 2019 - Present
Drama / Action
The martial arts drama moves to HBO Max.
HBO Max has picked up Warrior for a third season, the streaming service announced today. The good news comes four months after the martial arts crime drama wrapped its sophomore run.
The series aired its first two seasons on Cinemax, which last year stated that they would be getting out of the original programming business. The move to the streaming service will give the story at least one more chapter to tell.
Based on an original concept by martial arts legend Bruce Lee, Warrior follows Ah Sahm, a young martial arts prodigy in the 1870s who immigrates to San Francisco from China under mysterious circumstances after the Civil War. Once there, he becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown's most powerful and feared organized crime families.
The first two seasons of Warrior are now available to stream on HBO Max.

Cinemax Renews 'Warrior'
I thought this show was dead after Cinemax said they were getting out of the original programming game. This is fantastic news !!!!!!!!
YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! That is fantastic news. I'm so excited. I'm so happy for the cast who wanted to continue the story. Bravo HBO Max.
Great news, actually just started watching it for the first time when HBO MAX added it to the service. I'm 3 episodes into season 2 and it continues to be a must watch series. Hopefully it'll be around for several more years. Great story, acting & action is superb, and the viewing experience is excellent.
Wow. That was quite a break for a 2019 series, which I understand, filmed two seasons back-to-back (in South Africa), before being put on hold.
We'll have to wait and see to find out if all pertinent actors can return or if some will now be busy with other projects.
I liked this series and look forward to Season 3.
Nice! Glad this show found a new home.
