AT&T will spend $1.6 billion to acquire Straight Path Communications, which owns a nationwide portfolio of millimeter wave wireless spectrum, including 39 GHz and 28 GHz licenses.
AT&T added to its growing portfolio of wireless spectrum licenses and 5G expertise by acquiring Straight Path Communications in a deal valued at some $1.6 billion equal to $95.63 per share.
The acquisition, which was unveiled by AT&T on April 10, will be subject to review by the Federal Communications Commission and is expected to close sometime in the next 12 months. The deal for Straight Path follows AT&T's January acquisition of FiberTower, which holds 24 GHz and 39 GHz wireless spectrum licenses.
AT&T said in a statement that the Straight Path deal will support the company's work in 5G wireless network technology and help ramp up wireless speeds for users.
In October 2016, AT&T and Ericsson conducted a demonstration of 5G technology, illustrating the possibilities of mmWave radio access technology for the networks of the future. In February, AT&T and Nokia demonstrated how they could deliver DirecTV NOW over a fixed wireless 5G connection using 39 GHZ mmWave (millimeter wave) technology, according to AT&T.
Under the latest acquisition, AT&T will acquire 735 mmWave licenses in the 39 GHz band and 133 licenses in the 28 GHz band, covering the entire United States, including all of the top 40 markets.
Charles King, the principal analyst with Pund-IT, Inc., told eWEEK "the AT&T deal shows that the company is moving aggressively to ensure its place at the 5G table."
From a market perspective, the deal is significant because the wide range of mmWave licenses it is obtaining mean that "whenever AT&T's 5G technologies and associated media offerings are ready for prime time, it will be able to sell them into a broad, deep portfolio of commercial markets," said King.
"You could say that the AT&T/Straight Path deal is as much about real estate as it is about technology, but in the world of wireless content distribution, one is meaningless without the other," said King.
Another analyst, Rob Enderle of Enderle Group, said AT&T's latest acquisition is being made to help it keep up with its rivals. "Acquisitions like Straight Path will likely define the early skirmishes in this massive coming war [between the big four U.S. wireless carriers in the 5G race], but eventually these firms will have to make 5G actually work and here it largely remains anyone's game," he said.
Ultimately, as 5G is seen as much faster and better by wireless users, it will likely drive cell phone buyers to change carriers, said Enderle. "Both Verizon and AT&T have been pounded by T-Mobile who has been chewing up customers like the shark in Jaws.

Recent Shark Attacks in 2013 and 2013 Shark Attacks and Related Incidents

Teenager hospitalized with minor injuries after something bites him.
A teenager was fishing in the water off Sanibel Island when something bit him this afternoon, causing lacerations in his right shin and left foot.
No one knows what bit the teenager – whether it was a shark or a smaller fish – but his injuries are minor, according to Sanibel Police Department Lt. William Dalton.
"The officer on scene said given the size of the bite, it couldn't have been a very big fish," Dalton said.
The incident occurred at Casa Ybel Resort, 2255 West Gulf Drive, at around 3:30 p.m.
When officers arrived the victim was out of the water and his parents had wrapped him in a towel. The victim was conscious and seemed calm, Dalton said. He was transported to HealthPark Medical Center.
"Every indication was that he was going to be fine," he said.
The water was murky and no one saw the creature that bit the teenager, Dalton said.
But responding officers confirmed the injury appeared consistent with a bite, and did not appear to be caused by contact with rocks or other debris.
Officers have not closed the beach and are not issuing warnings to beach-goers.
"At this point in time," Dalton said, "(there's) no indication there's anything to worry about, but just use general common sense and safety precautions."

SANIBEL, Fla. – A teenage boy fishing about 50 yards off of Sanibel Beach Monday was bitten by something in the water.
"The kid came running out of the water screaming shark, shark, shark," said Mike Shannon, who has been visiting Sanibel for 35 years. "It was definitely a big shark," added Fred Sorokin. "The shark had to have a mouth probably around this big," he added as he widened his hands about 15 inches apart. "One of the paramedics said that she thought it was a Lemon Shark."
Over the last few weeks the water has turned dark brown due to heavy rains and water being released from Lake Okeechobee. His name has not been released but witnesses say he was fishing and using shrimp for bait, which he had in his pocket out in the surf.
"He sustained some laceration type wounds to his upper right calf, his right ankle area and another one on his left foot," said Lt. William Dalton of the Sanibel Police.
Dalton said there hasn't been a shark bite on Sanibel in four or five years and no one knows for sure what bit him. But others there are convinced it was a shark. "When I walked over to look at him clearly the bite marks were that of a shark," added Shannon. When asked how he knew that he replied, "Just the pattern. You could see the bite marks were on two different appendages."
"It was definitely a shark bite," Sorokin added. "And not a small shark either." The teenager, who was described as between 15 and 17 years old was taken to the hospital. "He was lucid and the officers described him as in good spirits," Lt. Dalton added. "Maybe a little stunned and upset that this had happened but there wasn't any type of loss of blood that had any significant affect on him."
Some tourists we talked with said the incident won't affect their vacation. But others said it would, "Whoooo. Hmmm. Makes me a little nervous about going in the water," said Debbie Casalango, who is visiting Sanibel.
I couldn't help but ask these fishermen what they've been catching and everyone of them said, "mostly sharks."

New Jersey Teen Says He Was Bitten by Shark While Fishing on Vacation in Florida
Christian Mercurio is recovering from the nasty wounds
A New Jersey teenager is recovering after he was attacked by what he believes was a shark while he was fishing in Florida.
Christian Mercurio, a rising high school senior in Randolph, N.J., was fishing in waist-high water off the coast in Sanibel, Fla. a week ago when his legs and feet were suddenly seized underwater.
"It felt like my feet were crushed by cement," he recalled.
He began screaming for help, and his mother, thinking he was joking around, told him to stop.
"My mom was like, 'Don't yell shark. You will cause a panic,'" Mercurio said.
But his mother, Lisa Mercurio, flew into action when she saw what was happening to her son. A registered nurse, she rushed to Christian's side.
"We sat him down, elevated his legs," said Lisa Mercurio. "Luckily, people started throwing us beach towels."
Florida investigators think it was a six- to eight-foot-long bull shark that went after Christian, most likely mistaking him for a fish in the murky water. The teeth missed major arteries, but they pierced his leg and left a wound on his foot.
Christian thinks the shark became more aggressive as he tried to escape, "once when I was fishing, and the second time as I was trying to run in," he said.
The Mercurios say they will go back in the water despite the ordeal, and all of them are grateful the run-in with the shark was a survivor story.
"It's still surreal," said Lisa Mercurio. "Definitely still shocked. He spend the week watching 'Shark Week.' I spent the week with nightmares."

Although good friends may be hard to come by, the investment is worth it!
Whether you are studying abroad, moving to a new place, or just traveling around, you will most likely find that one of the most important factors to having a good trip will be the relationships you make with other people. However, it is not always easy to invest in general acquaintances, and friendships can be even more difficult, especially if you have language or cultural barriers. And, even if you find someone with the same background as you, it is no guarantee that you will hit it off.
This is probably número uno on my list of why it is important to be vulnerable in friendships but it is also one of the hardest to accept as well. By putting yourself out there you are way more likely to be rejected (both when you want to make new friends and when you want to hang out with old ones). I am the first one to admit that rejection hurts and that I have been known not to ask someone—or a group—to do something because I am afraid that they will say no. However, I am also working to understand that when I receive such a rejection it probably doesn't mean as much to the other(s) as I think it does.
At the same time, this vulnerability can also give you the power to understand where you stand with people you meet and help you develop relationships. That is, you will figure out pretty quickly whether or not the other person is willing to make an effort with you or not. In addition, by showing your own vulnerability, on some level you are letting the other person off the hook when it comes to showing his/hers. Overall, I truly believe that putting yourself out there is one of the only ways you will be able connect with people around you and, oftentimes, rejection is just part of the deal without really being a big thing (especially in a culture like the one in Spain).
Remember: If you are willing to put yourself out there, it means that the other person doesn't have to and they are probably as reluctant as you are to being vulnerable.
1.) The relationship I have with my current boss is fantastic—we get along well and are able to get large amounts of work done in an efficient way. On the same level, working with friends of mine in an association, I find myself working efficiently with people who are my friends and people who I really enjoying spending time with. However, despite the fact that I both like and work well with these two different people, I don't mean the same thing to them (and they don't mean the same thing to me). That is, one is still my boss—albeit being a bit of a friend—and the others are friends—even if they have a little bit of colleague mixed in.
2.) I am assuming I am not alone on this, but I have some friends who mean the world to me, people who I would do anything for, and others who have a little bit less impact in my life. There is nothing wrong with either of these two scenarios, just that they are different types of relationships (although I also believe that it is possible to adapt and change the same friendship over time). But what happens when someone is really important to you, but you are just a normal friend to them? In the long run, I'm pretty sure it's normal and not a big deal, but it doesn't always feel like that.
For me, this means I need to work towards understanding that at the end of the day, all different types of people mean different things to us, and we play different roles in their lives too. One of the biggest steps to being vulnerable in relationships is accepting these differences and allowing them to be part of life, even when we don't really like them. And, every once in a while, you will find someone who is on the same wavelength as you (even just for a moment or two). These are the friends or the romantic partners that make you feel just right, people who allow you to fit into their lives the same way that they fit into yours.
Remember: We all see the world through our own colored glasses.
At the same time I honestly don't believe that any relationship is perfectly equal in the sense of sameness. Instead, the beauty is in the differences and the acceptance that two people in a true friendship understand that the relationship is fair because, at the end of the day, everything balances out. For example, with my closest friends I never question paying for dinner one night because I know that they will cover me in another moment (or, if they are not totally financially stable, maybe make me dinner sometime). Dani and I even switch off paying every time we meet and, while the numbers might not equal out to zero, that is balance enough for us. I understand that money might be the least of your worries, but for someone else it might be really important. And, if you are going to make the friendship work, you will have to work around this issue together. Don't expect sameness from both sides, but look for equality in the relationship (aka, don't get to the point where you resent him or her because you feel like you 'do more'). And this mentality can be applied to mostly everything—things from emotional support to cooking and cleaning (especially if you live together) can be put in balance without being perfectly the same.
Being vulnerable in these situations means two things. Firstly, that you are willing to accept that the other person will have expectations of your relationship, just like you do. And, secondly, that you have to express what you want from the other person if you want it to be clear to them. Putting yourself out there with what you are feeling (and how the relationship could be more 'equal' for you) allows the other person insight into your thought process. Remember, none of us are mind readers and, while it can be difficult to articulate your feelings, clearly sharing ideas and thoughts will help you create a better friendship.
Remember: Your balance with another person doesn't have to fit anyone's expectations but your own.
Now I wonder, am I the only person who feels vulnerable in friendships? If you feel this way too, let me know in the comments how you accept your vulnerability.

As we evaluate the Society of St. Vincent de Paul — Madison Food Pantry use month-by-month since 2019, we see a remarkable pattern. The 2019 line (blue) remained steady throughout the year. In 2020 (red) pantry use reflected the changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout its first year. In 2021 (yellow), as federal funds, particularly advance child tax credit and stimulus payments, became available to families, pantry use dropped significantly to lower than historical use throughout the year. Presumably more people had money to provide for their family's food needs. In January 2022 (green), pantry use began where it left off the month before with an upward trend that in August more than doubled last year's pantry visits.
A slight dip in September follows historical trends, likely due to the return of children to school where breakfast and lunch are available to them. October is traditionally our busiest month, and the six pantry days before Thanksgiving have been the busiest each year. We had a record-breaking day with 205 families on August 26 and eclipsed that record on September 29 with 215 families. Each Thursday in October set a new record. November is generally a busy month at the pantry, with the days before Thanksgiving the highest each year. Thursdays continued to be record-setting days through the Thursday before Thanksgiving becoming our now largest-ever day with 277 families. Instead of tailing off in December as has been our history, we served the most households in a single month than ever before, with 2568 households using the pantry that month.

REMEMBER VENEZUELA'S GOLD REPATRIATION?
15 Comments	/ Babylon's Banksters / By Joseph P. Farrell
You might remember the flurry of gold repatriation stories that emerged a few years ago. It began when Germany wanted to repatriate some of its gold from the New York Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of France. Germany has, according to some estimates, the second largest holdings of gold reserves after the U.S.A. The story then became...well, peculiar, when we learned that there would be some "delay". For my part, I speculated that perhaps, once again, the NY Fed has somehow "misplaced" Germany's gold, the first time being during 1928 during a visit of Reichsbank president Hjalmar Schacht. Even after Germany supposedly had the gold returned, there were stories about the purity of that gold, and lack of transparent assay and audit.
During this period, other countries suddenly jumped on the gold repatriation bandwagon, including Austria, the Netherlands, and... Venezuela.
Well, Venezuela's efforts are again in the news, according to this article shared by V.T., and it's a story that might contain some clues:
The Saga Continues: Venezuela's 31 tonnes of seized gold at the Bank of England
Note that Venezuela's request for its gold has yet to be honoured, but for a very intriguing reason:
In what's becoming one of the longest running legal dramas in the global gold market, the saga of Venezuela's 'frozen' gold in London continues to roll on, most recently reaching the UK Supreme Court in a 4 day court hearing between 19 – 22 July.
At the core of the legal drama is the question of who has the authority to withdraw Venezuela's gold reserves which are stored in custody at the Bank of England. Is it the Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV) under the direction of de facto president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, or is it a team directed by self-styled interim president of Venezuela Juan Guaidó, who is backed by the US and UK governments. Given the multiple developments in this saga over the last few years and the complexity of the matter, a recap is in order. (Boldface emphasis added)
To understand the significance of this development, imagine, for a moment, that all of the USA's gold, or significant amounts of it, were held by the Bank of France, and then imagine if the Bai Den regime demanded that x amount be repatriated, and the Bank of France refusing on the basis of concerns about voting fraud and election legitimacy. In effect, that's what is going on here.
But this is where it gets interesting, because in the absence of a clear legal claim, that gold enters a kind of bullion limbo, where notwithstanding the legal issues, its claimants can still use it in transactions, in this case, as collateral:
From 1980 until 2011, the BCV had 99.2 tonnes of gold stored at the Bank of England. For details, see the BullionStar article from May 2015 titled "Venezuela's Gold Reserves – Part 1: El Oro, El BCV, y Los Bancos de Lingotes".
Between late 2011 and early 2012, the BCV conducted a famous gold repatriation operation, flying 160 tonnes of gold bars that were held abroad, back to Caracas in Venezuela to be stored in the vaults of Venezuela's central bank. Following the completion of that gold repatriation in January 2012, this still left 4,089 of BCV's Good Delivery gold bars stored in the Bank of England's vaults (about 50.8 tonnes).
Sometime after 2012 and until 2018, the BCV then began entering various gold swap transactions, including those with Deutsche Bank and Citibank as counterparts, and also with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) as a counterpart. To do this, the BCV used most of the gold that it held in the Bank of England vaults in London as collateral for the gold swaps.
One such transaction was a $1.7 billion gold swap with Deutsche Bank, which the BCV let lapse in 2017, thus allowing Deutsche Bank to keep the gold that had been put up as collateral. This was somewhere between 30-40 tonnes of gold.
Another was a gold swap transaction with Citibank, again with the BCV putting up gold as collateral. In April 2018, the BCV paid Citibank $172 million to recover some of that gold from Citi which had been put up as collateral. That then left the BCV, as of April 2018, with a net total of 14 tonnes of gold held at the Bank of England (about 1125 Good Delivery gold bars).
Note that physical delivery gold is being used as collateral in swaps with other banks, long before the legal issues currently before British courts are resolved, and recall that the Bank of England almost immediately began stalling on the repatriation of Venezuela's gold when that government first demanded it, even under then-president Hugo Chavez. The question is, did real physical gold leave the Bank of England's vaults, and if so, why, and where is it now? Or were these paper transactions only, leaving the physical gold still at the Bank of England, with the books reflecting that Venezuela only has fourteen tons of gold currently on its account.
Or to put my speculation country simple: it appears that "someone" is seizing the opportunity to use Venezuela's gold over and over (rehypothecation) under cover of the question of its legal owner to build more liquidity into the system, and notably, squatting in the middle of it, are the Bank of International Settlements, and our old (and dubious) friend Deutsche Bank.
And this, as the article says, is where it gets interesting:
n November 2018, it became public knowledge that the Bank of England was stalling on the BCV's request to withdraw 14 tonnes of Venezuela's gold from London, with the Bank of England using bogus excuses such as transportation insurance costs and anti-money laundering concerns to not fulfill its withdrawal obligation on BCV's gold custody contract.
However, the real reason for stalling the BCV's gold withdrawal request was political – in the form of US State Department and US Treasury pressure that was put on the British Foreign office and HM Treasury to block Venezeula's gold withdrawal and repatriation plan. This stalling was designed to allow time to roll out US sanctions against Venezuela in November 2018 and critically, to move the goalposts and change the rules of the game by allowing time for the Guaidó team (backed by the US and UK) to enter the arena so as to try to win control of the remaining 14 tonnes of BCV gold at the Bank of England.
All of this raises a rather nasty question: was the US-UK decision to back the claims of Juan Guaido to be the legitimate government of Venezuela really not about the alleged "socialism" of Maduro's government, but rather really about the control of the gold? And if so, why bother with such a comparatively small amount? One possibility might be that Venezuela's handling of its bullion, suggestive as it is of massive rehypothecation, might expose the widespread use of that tactic. In effect: want to rehypothecate a lot of gold? Then obfuscate the issue of its ownership.
The article concludes with some stern warnings and implications:
While the Supreme Court judgment will determine who has the authority to withdraw and use 31 tonnes of BCV gold stored under custody at the Bank of England, this case will also have far reaching international implications for all sovereign assets held in the United Kingdom, and particularly monetary gold.
A ruling in favour of Guaidó will mean that the UK Government can at will seize control over state assets of foreign governments held at the Bank of England and elsewhere, and such a ruling would send shockwaves internationally about the notion of sovereign property rights, and how they are treated in the City of London, and wider England and the UK.
A ruling in favour of Guaidó also creates a worrying situation where a government executive (HM Government) can intervene and interfere into the judiciary using claims which have no basis in reality – i.e. Guaidó has no control over the Venezuelan central bank, nor it's employees, nor is he even recognised by the EU as president of Venezuela, nor is he recognised as president by a vast list of countries including China and Russia, nor is he even leader of the Venezuelan national assembly anymore.
Over 70 sovereign nations hold gold in storage at the Bank of England including many nations in South and Central America and across the Middle East and Asia. If the Supreme Court rules against the BCV and in favour of Guaidó, and creates this precedent that sovereign gold reserves are not safe in London, expect the sound of many phones ringing at the Bank of England from central banks around the world trying to line up their gold withdrawal and repatriation requests. That in itself would be a sight to behold.
While you might think that the five lords a-leaping in the Supreme Court in their judgement will take these critical sovereign property right concerns into account, don't underestimate the connections between the various strands of the British Establishment across politics, judiciary and the City of London, where the 'fraternities' and undisclosed connections between the 'brothers' will nearly always be more important than what how an outsider would view the situation.
It would therefore not be surprising if the law lords of the Supreme Court side with the Foreign Office, the Bank of England, and the US State Department, who are all working on the same side to prevent the BCV getting its hands on 31 tonnes of the BCV's gold bars (worth approximately US $ 1.8 billion at current spot price).
Moral of the story for central banks – Don't hold gold at the Bank of England if you actually ever want to withdraw it.
But if my own speculative analysis is correct, this story is about much more than a squabble between two central banks. It's really about the practices of an entire financial system, a system that's in huge trouble, and which - to my eyes - appears to be scrambling to maintain its physical control of as much actual physical bullion as possible. Maybe that's why the whole gold repatriation fad got started with Germany... maybe they suspected "something going on."

Understanding none of the Financial woes of the world……I DO wonder about the gold-plated tungsten bars I remember hearing about….wasn't Canada involved???
Dare we hope that this whole House of Cards is about to come crashing down & we might be entering a truly new Golden Age??? Whatever the case, it seems the old British Empire is being dismantled, piece by piece!! Take that, Cecil Rhodes!!
Good information and video on the Bank of England website.

BoE gold vaults hold around 400,000 bars of gold, worth over £200 billion.
There are 9 underground vaults. See photos in link below.
https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-bank-of-englands-gold-vaults-2016-7?r=US&IR=T
Any reason to believe the information supplied by banks themselves??
It may not be about just one thing… There are clearly geopolitical motivations — to bring Venezuela to heel and get control of its oil reserves. Also, bullion may be needed in the future international financial system, so everybody wants as much as possible on their own territory, under their direct control. None of that means there isn't also a purely finance-related motivation, involving rehypothecation or other skullduggery. Finally, regardless of how much gold exists in the world, who knows how much of it is actually sitting in the Bank of England's vaults? Possibly, only a small percentage of what they're supposedly holding on behalf of foreign countries; if so, every big withdrawal increases the risk of draining the vaults completely.

IMHO, Not only is it a matter of how much of (whatever) exists, is how many BELIEVE it to be true. One suspects the real power may be in the heels of Dorothy's red shoes – activated by three magical clicks.
For some reason "The Emperor's Clothes" comes to mind. The power of belief, and all that.
Then there are thoughts of Midas and visions of happiness.Time for me to take a joyride on a virtual Möbius strip.
It wouldn't be the first time that the London vaults had been drained. In March 1968, The London Gold Pool, in effect a multi-national official scheme to suppress the price of gold, collapsed when the US instructed the British to close the London gold market after a run on bullion. It's a remarkable story and further evidence that, as in everything, the cycles just keep repeating.

This really bugged me, because last night I was re-reading about FDR's gold confiscation, and the foreign corporation known as the Federal Reserve. I went to get the facts straight this morning when I read Dr. Farrell's blog for today. Despite having the notebooks I was reading;
I couldn't locate the page the story was on.
Ironically, I was also reading about the similarities between the brain and the computers, in relationship to metaphors. Well, this brain certainly wasn't able to google my way out it. Also, I wasn't able to scan & skim the notebooks effectively; meaning I wasn't thinking digitally well enough; probably because I spent too much time reflecting on what I read, and thinking critically. I need to computerize my thoughts more, according to today's 20Th-worst century's standards and quackademics.
At any rate, it's looking more and more, that when it comes to gold – possession is 100% of the law; unless, that is, if your military is weak. Then, if you do have a lot of gold, the U.S. will just find an excuse to invade, and promptly sodomize it's leader to boot[gave to much of the gold to his people, bringing their standard of living so high, it actually challenged the plutocrims leadership in the West].
Then the international press will all laugh in a togetherness moment; while quoting a well known media celebrity plutocrim,
"We Came, we saw, he died".
Memorable golden words, representing what possession of gold is all about, for the all of the Insane Asylum's global leadership crew.
He who has the gold rules.

Apostolic-Scythianism is a martial art derivative, a resistance movement, whose original intent was to overthrow empires, in asymmetric warfare.
Scythian martial art went to India, China and Okinawa. Speed, as kinetic energy, became lost in Ashtanga, and has been reinvented in Karate. (Shotokan's Secret, Bruce Clayton).
In Scandinavia, Scythian legacy is retained in natural symbols, and by comparing sources, original ideology can be reconstructed, as Saxon-Scythian martial art.
The pope's imperial slave version is a fraud, and a brainwashed Stockholm syndrome, to conquer, and steal gold, by the golden idol of Nebuchadnezzar.
HISTORICAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT AGAINST EMPIRE:

We have a case of piracy extorsion and embezzlement rolled into one but then the Bank Of England is you say a state on to itself like the Federal Reserve. Which brings up the question of who really is in control of the treasures of the UK and the CSA.
This is indeed a strange saga. My guess would be that the BoE is acting under instructions from Washington, as Gordon Brown was doing when he sold about half of the UK's gold reserves in a series of auctions 1999-2002. I point the finger at Washington because the BoE's Venezuela gambit risks shooting the entire London gold market in the foot with both barrels at a time when the balance of power in the global market for physical bullion is already markedly shifting to The Shanghai Gold Exchange and its innovative and relatively transparent contracts.
The BoE's actions are obviously completely politically motivated and any sovereign – particularly any non-NATO sovereign – would be dumb not to consider at least this political risk in deciding where to store its bullion. While some would view the political risks associated with Shanghai as too great, others would not. Yet other jurisdictions might see political risks associated with the BoE as an opportunity to expand their own bullion custody and trading sectors. Dubai, Singapore and Switzerland come to mind.
So, unless the market for physical gold bullion is even closer to collapse than some fear, I think this is more about ham-fisted, crude US foreign "policy" than it is about gold.
In one's opinion, there's no question that it's about bullion control, hegemonic bullion control, originating from the one hemisphere over with special characteristics. The Party is desperate now more than they have been. All that are tethered are re-evaluating their connection to a rabid tiger.

Q: how to fix "Function definition is not allowed here" in Xcode This is my lecture example. And, I follow it.
How to fix the error?
#include <stdio.h>
#define SPACE ' '

int main(){
    void branching_if_judgement(int a, int b)
    {
        if (a > b)
        {
            printf("a(%d) is larger than b(%d)\n", a, b);
        }else
        {
            printf("a(%d) is smaller or equal to b(%d)\n", a, b);
        }
    }
}

A: A function definition/declaration is not allowed in another function.
main is a function and branching_if_judgement is another function.
correct (read compile-able) code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define SPACE ' '

static void branching_if_judgement(const int a, const int b){
    if (a > b)
    {
       printf("a(%d) is larger than b(%d)\n", a, b);
    } else
    {
       printf("a(%d) is smaller or equal to b(%d)\n", a, b);
    }
}

int main(){
   branching_if_judgement(2, 3);

The talk will present an overview of Apache Stanbol. Guided by use cases and implementations from early adopters the talk will motivate what Apache Stanbol can be used for and which technology is behind its features. The goal is to interest more people in the project.
Apache Stanbol is a modular set of components that provide semantic content management features. One of its core features is to extract information from unstructured content, i.e. plain text. This process is called content enhancement. With content enhancement you can identify entities like persons, places, or organizations within unstructured content. Once entities are identified they can be automatically linked to open linked data sources on the web, like DBPedia. Getting more information from unstructured content is useful in a variety of content management use cases that will be reflected in this talk.
To customize the content enhancement process Apache Stanbol offers a framework for writing customized enhancement engines. Further components are offered e.g. to manage the entities found in the unstructured content, to store the enhancement for later reuse, and even to offer a semantic search on top of the enhanced content. The talk will demonstrate how such features could and are already used in applications.
The use cases for Apache Stanbol are not only limited to content management. Having access to open linked data sources through Apache Stanbol makes it useful for other areas of application like customer relationship management, semantic e-mail routing, sharing of knowledge, etc. The talk will motivate to think about other domains where Apache Stanbol offers interesting technologies to create smarter applications.

Antimicrobial finished on textiles have generated a lot of interest in recent years in both the medical and textiles clothing industry. Here at Melbec, we have seen the industry and demand for the appropriate micro textiles testing increase at the same time.
The interest in antimicrobial finishes for two reasons; in healthcare, the potential to reduce infection transmission, and for the ability to prolong the lifespan and performance of clothing in the consumer goods market.
Let's take a closer look at antimicrobial finishes – what they are, how they can be use and textiles testing.
Traditionally, antimicrobial finishes and treatments have been used on textiles that may be prone to rot, particularly under tropical or humid conditions. But in recent years, the general public's attitude towards hygiene and physical activity has seen a rise in the demand for clothing that has antimicrobial properties. Our society has come a long way since the days when even bathing was considered unhealthy and unnecessary!
Antimicrobial treatments have hence been used on clothing used in outdoor pursuits, sport and leisure. The applications for textiles are endless but common examples are sports clothing, footwear, underwear and socks. Other applications are available to consumers in the form of treatments applied to bedding – including pet bedding, soft furnishings such as cushions, and towels.
As already mentioned, garments can be treated with antimicrobial finishes for consumer goods, but they also have a potentially more important purpose in healthcare.
A major challenge in healthcare is hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). These type of infections not only affect patient well-being, as reported by the Nursing Times, but they create a feeling of distrust in our medical profession. And although cases of MRSA have fallen in the UK, other types of infections have risen and there is still a need to be vigilant when it comes to infection control.
One control method to help control HAIs is to reduce the number of touch surfaces that can carry bacteria that can be transferred between surfaces and in turn, to patients. Patient gowns, bed linens and other textiles are one such surface that can be part of the touch-transfer process that spreads infection; enter antimicrobial finishes. Hospital textiles can be treated to have a biocidal surface to destroy or inactivate organisms, thus significantly reducing the touch-transfer process.
A study conducted in 2016 showed that although treated textiles didn't completely reduce the risk of bacteria transfer, their use in healthcare would be useful as an additional hygiene measure.
Antimicrobial dressings and garments have also been used in the healthcare sector, particularly dermatology, as therapy for some skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. Form-fitting antimicrobial textiles may reduce the colonization of Staphylococcus aureus on patients' skin, thus reducing the effects of the skin condition.
Garments, typically made from silk, are available now for consumers to try as a treatment for many skin conditions. Some studies suggest that the effects may be no different than using typical topical treatments, but some patients may find the use of so-called 'therapy clothing' a more comfortable option.
How Are These Finishes Applied to Textiles?
Antimicrobial finishes can be applied to textiles in a variety of ways. Additives can be introduced to textiles during fibre spinning, combined with dyes or applied as a coating to finished products. The process varies depending on the intended use of the product and can be used on both natural or man-made fibres.
There are a variety of additives that can be used in antimicrobial finishes. Additives used will contain a specific antimicrobial active, such as silver but many different compounds have been used such as triclosan, metal salts and polybiguanides. Research has also been conducted into plant-based natural antimicrobial compounds.
How Can the Efficacy of Antimicrobial Textiles be Tested?
To test the efficacy of antimicrobial textiles, specific testing methods can be conducted by laboratories in addition to client run trials and research.
Testing is essential to substantiate the antimicrobial properties of a finished product textile and support marketing claims or research. Of course, laboratory testing is not real-world testing and results should be looked at in conjunction with real-life application results.
Testing can be carried out using standard strains or they can be substituted with organisms relevant to the product claims. These may include antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE, fungal spores or Clostridium difficile.
Melbec Microbiology's team of scientists has extensive expertise in the field of claim support and textile testing. We can conduct and feedback on the all of the standard testing methods mentioned above.

Manufacturing Doors Open
By PKED Comms
After more than a year of planning and preparations, PKED, along with the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, The Kawartha Manufacturers Association, and the Workforce Development Board, partnered with local advanced manufacturers AVIT, Flying Colours, and Siemens to give a tour to 40 educators from the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and the Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland and Clarington Catholic School Board.
The purpose of the tour was to bring awareness to educators and the public — specifically parents and students locally — on the opportunities available to students and new grads within advanced manufacturing in the region.
The hope would be that, by bringing these co-op teachers, tech teachers, and guidance counselors right into these cutting-edge facilities, it would demystify the stereotypes that surround the advanced manufacturing industry and careers available to young workers.
"It's important for educators to interact with industry first-hand, to see the technical skills required in today's manufacturing sector," says Rhonda Keenan, President and CEO of PKED.
"Talent is the number one concern for any business, especially in the manufacturing sector. We're trying to ensure our local youth have an advantage for a strong career in manufacturing."
The day started with a tour of the AVIT facility (formerly known as Steelworks Design). From there, the tour received a driving tour of Major Bennett Industrial Park where PKED and the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce provided an overview of the other manufacturing facilities that operate in Major Bennett Industrial Park.
Late morning, the tour arrived at the Peterborough Airport and explored Flying Colours. After Flying Colours, they received a driving tour of the Neal Drive Industrial Park and the Technology Drive Business Park.
The tour came to Siemens for lunch and spent the rest of the day touring, breaking out into small groups and facilitated discussions at the international instrumental processing plant.
"There is a large growth potential for this sector and in this region," Rhonda said of the tour. "By introducing our educators to these opportunities and showcasing the value that STEM skills provide, we're confident this message will be passed along to local youth and will equip them to become ready for the future."

Pathology is the science of studying all aspects of human diseases. It studies illnesses that can be passed on genetically, including conditions that plague the blood, tissues, organs and body systems when attacked by microorganisms like viruses and bacteria. It is the study of the human body, but more than that, it documents where and how and why the body malfunctions, or sometimes, one of its systems goes against the whole.
The line between healing medicine and Pathology isn't really that distinct. One cannot exist without the other. Medical technology discovers a new condition that Pathology can analyze, producing new studies and results that make medicine ever more efficient and accurate. In this regard Pathology and Laboratory Medicine are taken combined in order to understand the causes and mechanisms of human disease, by means of investigations in the laboratory.
Modern media, particularly several television shows, have given the public a peek into laboratories where doctors and their assistants perform forensic tests on victims of crimes. Forensic is just one of the discipline's many branches. Anatomical Pathology, for instance, specifically studies the correlation between disease and body tissues.
The world today can barely survive existing biological threats without the medical and scientific advancements made possible by Pathology's discoveries. It's one of the sciences that made it possible for man to move out of the dark ages of superstition and ancient religious rituals to perform or understand otherwise complex diagnoses of ailments.


I should put it out there straight away that I am a really big fan of the National Trust. I genuinely struggle to imagine how I would have made it through the last five years without it. Partly it's because I am both a history geek and a fan of the outdoors, but also for the opportunity it provides to be a very lazy parent, whilst feeling really quite smug because your kids are getting fresh air/learning about things. Picnics on the lawns of houses significantly nicer than yours, roaming estates with endless stuff to climb on/build/run on/fight with, fascinating houses/ruins to explore... and it all feels like it's for free. I know it's not*, but once you've joined you can just waltz up to all these amazing places and take advantage of it endlessly, so it FEELS like it's free, which is part of the beauty.
Wakehurst, Nymans and Sheffield Park are old and extremely good friends of ours and we spend a great deal of time at all three. Bodiam Castle is an occasional, and much loved, treat (I still possess a blue visor cap from my youth that says 'I heart Bodiam' on it, just so you can get the picture of what you're dealing with here). But in the last few weeks we have branched out and done day trips to Batemans and Knowle (both about an hour away… I know! I'm basically Ernest Shackleton) and both have been absolutely brilliant days.
Batemans, home to Rudyard Kipling, is a gorgeous, interesting (and incredibly moving, I think) house and the kids loved it - especially his amazing study (with a rug made out of a real life wolverine! Sam was terrified/obsessed) and the original, quite scary pictures of The Jungle Book animals. The kids asked the Nat Trust volunteers loads of challenging questions ("Excuse me, why was he not scared of that rug? Was he very brave?") and enjoyed exploring the beautiful gardens and it was very good, fun day. Knowle provided a gorgeous day of running and climbing and camp building and deer spotting (the kids, obvs… the mums drank coffee and ate brownies and sat on logs… EASY PARENTING!) and was definitely worth the drive. I highly recommend both.
Other than these excursions, we have really just been pottering around. I am reluctant to be more than ten foot from Nancy at any point as we are on a literal countdown until she deserts my nest and goes off to build her own life in reception (I CAN'T BEAR IT), so I have basically just been following her around and telling her how much I love her, whilst she ignores me and goes about her business.
* Just had to look up the price because I joined when I was TWENTY FOUR because I am a massive loser. It's just under a tenner a month for family membership.

A College with 90,000 Students May Go Under
By Charlotte Allen
The City College of San Francisco, the largest college in California with 90,000 students, appears to be on the brink of closing. California's Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges put it on probation and gave it just eight months to demonstrate why it should stay in business. Without accreditation, City College will be ineligible for public funding, which provides the bulk of revenues for the college's $190 million annual budget.
One of City College's problems, according to the accrediting commission, is that the sprawling institution has too few administrators–just 39–supervising 1800 faculty members on 200 campuses, including nine main campuses plus dozens of neighborhood centers scattered throughout the city. But the real problem may be this: Why is San Francisco, a city with 805,000 residents, operating a 90,000-student college? The math means that nearly one out of every nine San Franciscans is taking at least one course at City College (though some City College students probably live outside San Francisco).
While the commission did not find fault with the quality of instruction, its report noted that faculty was stretched thin trying to teach too many different things and couldn't assess how much students were learning. The hugely varied student body includes young people looking for vocational training or hoping to transfer to a four-year institution, plus older people enjoying "lifelong learning" and immigrants simply trying to learn English. The report noted, for example, that a City College program in airplane repair at the San Francisco International Airport employs only one full-time instructor and one part-timer–something to think about for anyone flying in or out of San Francisco. A culinary-arts program has no way of tracking how many of its graduates got jobs at restaurants–and thus whether its instruction was actually useful. The course catalogue typically lists dozens of classes that never materialize either because the classes are under-enrolled or because City College can't pay for them.
Right now, city officials are hoping to save City College by imposing a city-wide $79-per-parcel property tax assessment. But the problem with City College isn't a shortage of administrators or money. It's too many students, too many programs, too many courses, too many locations. My suggestion: Shut down about 198 of those campuses and centers, pare down the student body, and then focus on a reformed curriculum.

Can I claim a newborn baby?
You can claim a child born anytime in 2018 on your 2018 taxes, assuming they meet all the other dependent qualifications. A baby born in 2019 can be claimed on your 2019 taxes.
When we ask how many months your newborn lived with you, always answer The whole year, even if your baby was born on the last day of 2018. The same holds true for any health care coverage questions if your newborn was insured from the date of birth.
How do I add or remove a dependent?


Dust Must, What is Dust? Why must we go to the tournament and more is the subject of this post, a dust tournament that you should go.
What type of game is Dust?, About how many miniatures are we talking about if we are thinking in a standard dust game?
Where is LUF?, How many tables you can settle? you have limited places?
It takes a day to play the tournament or is played along many weekends?
What an infinity guy would like of Dust?
¿Qué tipo de juego es Dust?, ¿De cuántas miniaturas estamos hablando si pensamos en una partida estándar de Dust?
¿Dónde queda LUF?, ¿Cuántas mesas pueden poner?, ¿Hay cupo?
¿Se juega en un día o son varios fines de semana sucesivos?
¿Qué puede llegar a gustarle a un infinitero de Dust?
The best is to start playing to 150 points, to end playing 250, but every amount of points is funny and equally tactic. When playing 250, for example, you might put 3 units of 5 guys, 2 walkers and 2 heroes (they are not many minis).
Lo ideal es que se empiece jugando a 150 puntos, para terminar a unos 250, como lo ideal, pero cualquier tamaño intermedio es divertido e igualmente táctico. A 250, por ejemplo, podes llegar a poner 3 unidades de 5 tipos y 2 walkers, y dos héroes. No son muchas minis.
Where is LUF?, How many tables you can put there?, do you have place to play?
LUF is the club where you (for me, Bernohn) are going to play infinity this saturday (for yesterday), jajaja. It is in Munro, Vicente Lopez. The maximun amount of players of this tourney is 24 players, because this is related with the tables we can set. The boards are small, two boards fit in a warhammer table.
LUF es donde vamos a jugar Infinity el sábado, jeje. Es en Munro, Vicente Lopez. El cupo máximo del torneo es 24 participantes, ya que es la cantidad de mesas que se pueden poner. Son tableros pequeños, cuatro jugadores por cada mesa de Warhammer.
Is the tournament play in one day only or it covers succesive weekends?
Only one day, from the midday untill it end. It will be three games with a maximun time of 2 hours each game, the best two wil play the last game, the great final.
Un único día, desde las 12 hasta que termine. Son tres partidas con un tiempo máximo de 2 horas cada partida, los dos mejores jugarán una 4 partida, la Gran Final.
What might an ininity player like of Dust ?
The Walkers, they are great, the vive and the style of the game, so tactic, in wich every movement counts. The miniatures are really beautifull and the ruleset is flawless.
¡¡Los Walkers!! Son geniales, la onda, y el estilo de juego muy táctico en el que cada movimiento cuenta. Las miniaturas son preciosas, y el reglamento impecable.
This is a very addictive game, very funny, tactic, dynamic and with few miniatures, yes, I know, more than infinity itself but really few. Without exagerating, whoever tries it ends up loving it ans building an army. By now there are three factions, its the year 1947 of an alternative world in which it is being exploited a new type of alien tecnology that allows setting up the walkers. The axis appart from this has the Zombies!, The allies trust in the Mecha-Power of the Walkers, and the Sino-Soviet Alliance trust in the power of the masses and their helicopters. Its goint to appear a new faction the next year.
Es un juego altamente adictivo, muy divertido, táctico, dinámico, y con pocas miniaturas, si muchas más que en Intinity. Sin exagerar, quien lo prueba, se enamora y se termina armando un ejército. Por ahora hay tres facciones, es el año 1947, pero de un mundo alternativo en el que se está explotando un tipo de tecnología alienígena que permite tener los Walkers. El Eje aparte tiene zombies! Los Aliados apuestan al poder mecanizado de sus Walkers, y la alianza Sino Soviética, al poder de las masas y de sus helicópteros. Se sabe que para principios del año próximo saldrá una cuarta facción.
This will be this sunday so if you are in buenos aires you should go.
Esto va a ser este domingo en Luf al mediodía, si puedo voy a ir para ver qué onda. Abrazos.


Here is a plate of chicken tikka biryani for you prepared in Lucknowi style. Biryani is a rice-based dish made with spices, rice (usually basmati), and mixed with chicken/ mutton/ egg/ vegetables etc. Biryani was believed to have been invented in the kitchen of Mughal emperors. Biryani can be prepared in two different ways, kachchi biryani where raw meat and rice are cooked together and pukkhi biryani where meat and rice are cooked separately then mixed in dum method or just mixed everything together. The later way of ncooking Biryani is also known as dum pukht which means slow oven. This is one of the most efined way of cooking in India and pakistan.
Less spices are used than in traditional Indian cooking, with fresh spices and herbs for flavouring. In some cases, cooking dough is spread over the container, like a lid, to seal the foods.This is known as purdah (veil), but on cooking becomes a bread which has absorbed the flavours of the food and the two are best eaten together. In the end, dum pukht food is about aroma, when the seal is broken on the table and the fragrance of an Avadhi repast floats in the air.
1. Marinate the chicken with the ingredients in the marination section for at least half an hour.
2. Soak the basmati rice for half an hour. Heat ghee in a pan, add the cardamom pods and the whole spices and let it crackle.
3. Add the rice , water and salt and allow it to cook till the rice is 90% done.
4. Deep fry the chicken in oil till all the sides are brown and crisp.
5. Heat oil ( you can use the same oil in which you have fried chicken) add onion saute them till translucent, then add chopped green Chillies and ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw small disappears.
6. Add tomato and saute for about two minutes.
7. Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and roast well for 5 minutes.
8. Add yoghurt and roast well.
9. Add mint and coriander leaves and fried chicken and mix well.
10. Arrange the cooked mixture and chicken in layers and sprinkle some turmeric mixed water, fried onion, fried kaju and kismis and put it for dum for 10 - 15 minutes.
Enjoy with your favorite raita or tamarind chutney and pappad.

Parvesh Bhainswal
Left Defender

Railway Sports Promotion Board , RAIL , NER , ID , GJ , JP
Parvesh Bhainswal is an Indian Kabaddi player who is a part of Gujarat Fortune Giants in the Pro Kabaddi. Born on 12th April 1997, Parvesh was brought up in the town of Bhainswal, which had a history of creating top-level sports persons.
His elder brothers represented their school Kabaddi team and inspired him to develop a strong passion for the sport right from his childhood. Parvesh was a teenager when he realised that he had the potential of continuing Kabaddi professionally in the future. Hence, he appeared in the U-14 nationals and also the school nationals. His coach, Bhupender Malik, was impressed by the way this young defender had been performing.
Parvesh caught the eye of Jaivir Sharma while playing at the University Nationals. Sharma, a coach at Sports Authority of India, Gandhinagar, got Prvesh admitted to the facility to nurture the game of the youngster.
Parvesh Bhainswal Pro Kabaddi Career
After his heroics of winning two back to back titles at the university nationals got him a place in Jaipur Pink Panthers for Pro Kabaddi Season 4. However, it was a forgetful debut for young Parvesh as he scored only three points from seven outings in the season. He was let go after just one season with the team.
At Pro Kabaddi Season 5 Auctions, Parvesh was picked up by Gujarat Fortune Giants after their coach Manpreet Singh was impressed with the skill set of the player at a national level tournament. Parvesh's cousin, Sunil Kumar, was also picked up by the team and the duo were a part of the young team that was going to make its debut in the league. The stories of how the two defenders have been tackling raiders were already making the waves and it was time for them to shine on the stage of PKL.
Parvesh and Sunil played an important role in Gujarat's maiden run to the finals of the PKL in their debut season itself. Parvesh scored 48 tackle points from 24 matches and announced himself to the stage. Along with Sunil, Abozar Mighani, and Fazel Atrachali, the defense of Gujarat seemed to be in great hands. Parvesh was retained by the team for the next season as well.
In PKL Season 6, Parvesh notched up his game by a great level and went on to finish as the second-best defender of the league after Nitesh Kumar. He scored 86 points from 25 matches and was a crucial member of the team as they reached the finals for the second consecutive year. Parvesh's performance in Pro Kabaddi 2018 saw him become the highest-paid player of Gujarat Fortune Giants when he was bought by the team for Rs. 75 lakh. Using the Final Bid Match (FBM) card at the auctions, Gujarat ensured that their top defender remains with the team for the next season as well.
Parvesh lived up to the hopes as he once again was the highest scoring defender for the team. He scored 55 tackle points from 22 matches.

Transliterated as 'Women are Human' in this wonderfully witty and idiomatic translation by Amanda Holden, Sam Brown's brilliant new production of Così fan tutte might also be said to demonstrate 'men behaving badly'. In other words, just as Mozart and da Ponte's masterpiece ingeniously subverts the conventions of opera buffa at almost every turn, so this production – dramaturgy, text, and musical arrangement – lovingly plays with, questions, and reinterprets the original with intelligent, razor sharp precision. Hence the set (arranged in the round, in a specially erected circus-like marquee for social distancing reasons) is populated with pure white replicas of Classical statues, exalting an ideal form of physical and spiritual human beauty (which, of course, cannot be attained in reality) and two empty pedestals tellingly remaining to be filled. Around this the characters disport themselves, clearly dispelling the delusions which lovers tend to entertain during the throes of romantic passion – shown with hilarious irony, for instance, as the young men engage in ribald laddish behaviour during the duet in which Fiordiligi and Dorabella laud their charms; or when, as their exotic suitors, they consume Toilet Duck in desperation when their romantic overtures are rejected, perhaps in knowing reference to Donald Trump's notorious suggestion to inject disinfectant as a cure for Covid.
In the midst of the pandemic, is it fanciful also to suggest that a potent point is being made when the cleaner Despina suggestively cleans the statues with a disinfectant spray, hinting at the aridity of perfection, and also the infectiousness of real but flawed human sexual love? In any case, where the threads of da Ponte's drama are all tautly drawn and contrasts effected, so this is paralleled in Brown's production where the social laboratory of Don Alfonso's 'school for lovers' becomes a somewhat more lurid casino (where the initial bet is hatched) and later a disco as the deceptions take shape; and the stark nudity of the statues stands opposed to the extravagant disguises of Guglielmo and Ferrando respectively as Renaissance and Roman era soldiers with their fancy dress additions evoking Superman and the Incredible Hulk. Ultimately we learn that the unadorned and perfect – but intransigent and severe – beauty represented by the statues is perhaps not as desirable as the irrational whimsy of flesh and blood humanity after all, as experienced in the cut and thrust of real relationships. Mozart's ravishing score surely prevents us from casting judgement on the characters, and rather provokes empathy with their passions as they come under emotional duress. For instance, through playing affectionately with the tropes of female anxiety – the women's hysteria and binge eating once they are told of their boyfriends' supposed departure for battle – Fiordiligi and Dorabella's behaviour is reclaimed from the traditional misogynistic aspersion impliedly cast upon it by the usual English translation of the opera's title as 'Women are like that', which this new transliteration skilfully sidesteps.
The score itself also survives the subversion (if one were purist enough to see it that way) of Lesley Anne Sammons's zesty arrangement for The Barefoot Band's jazzy line up of recorders, clarinet, accordion, (electric) keyboard, double bass, and percussion. It hardly matters if several of these lack the same quality of nuance as more traditional acoustic instruments, because this ensemble shakes up all the elements of the music by redeploying them kaleidoscopically in new timbral patterns. The sounds of the recorder, clarinet or accordion can invite sympathy or pithily underline a joke according to how it alters Mozart's original instrumentation (which itself was fairly original in its time for extensive use of woodwind) whilst preserving the integrity of his melodic and harmonic invention.
Sammons's energetic direction of the score lends real bite and vigour to this interpretation, which the cast of singers take up with alacrity, following the jazzy accompaniment to the action on stage as the audience take their seats, before the performance proper. Where Idunnu Münch's Dorabella is steely, even sassy, Anna Patalong exudes a more controlled, tonal richness, rising to the occasion for gripping accounts of 'Come scoglio' and 'Per pietà' – those moments in the opera where satire and revelry seem explicitly to stop and Mozart stabs the listener with his disarming call to compassion and identification with the character's emotional ordeal.
Marcus Farnsworth and William Morgan both project winning swagger as Guiglielmo and Ferrando as they parade their 'masculine charms', both before and after they assume their disguises. Morgan could relax into more tenderness for 'Un'aura amorosa' but that is a minor quibble. Lizzie Holmes is a bubbly Despina, fully on cue and up for the role set out for her by John Molloy's unflappable master of ceremonies, Don Alfonso.
I understand that some elements of the production had to be toned down before public presentation to bow to delicate sensibilities, and the fact of a trigger warning on the pre-performance information provided to the audience together suggest that Così's unflinching dissection of the human heart is as necessary as ever in removing the scales from the eyes of those who persist in their sentimental delusions about the hard, messy reality of the dynamics of erotic relationships among human beings, which defy neat and clean schemata (the point of the work's parody, through Despina's disguised caricatures, of the disciplines of medicine and law as systems to define and order human behaviour). This is one of the best productions of Così I have seen, and except for the fact that it evidently works better 'up close and personal' in the round as presented, it deserves to survive the passage of a single summer festival's season and be presented in bigger houses.

Q: AEM HTL data-sly-list just prints array as a string I have a Java file returning an ArrayList of Buttons with a button_text property
    public void activate() throws Exception {

        buttonsNode = getResource().adaptTo(Node.class).getNode("buttons");
        buttons = new ArrayList<Button>();

        try{

            NodeIterator ni = buttonsNode.getNodes();

            while (ni.hasNext()) {

                Node n = (Node)ni.nextNode();

                    String button_text = n.getProperty("buttonText").getString();

                    Button bs = new Button(button_text);
                    buttons.add(bs);

            }
        }
        catch(Exception e){

        }

    }

    public ArrayList<Button> getButtonsListObject(){
        return buttons;
    }

   public class Button {
       String button_text;

       public Button(String button_text) {
           this.button_text = button_text;
       }

       public String getButtonText() {
           return button_text;
       }
   }

If I put

${button}

in my HTL I just get a list with one item that is just the array in plain text: "[{ "buttonText": one},{ "buttonText": two},{ "buttonText": three}]"
And doing

${button}

Returns a list with three items but they are all blank.
How do I properly access and print this ArrayList?

A: For the first attempt, I'm unsure where the ${PillButtons.buttons} is coming from, maybe you also have a String getButtons() that returns that JSON.
For the second one, you are using the right method in ${PillButtons.getButtonsListObject} (you could also use ${PillButtons.buttonsListObject} as HTL is smart enough to look for the getter) but you also need to print out
${button.buttonText}
 to get the expected output.

"The people of the Philippines will have in the future every reason to be glad that when the time of need came, their country was willing to extend a hand of welcome."
--- Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon.
When I was younger, the Holocaust had always seemed solely confined to Europe, something that happened so far away and so long ago. But as I grew older and learned more about the war especially on the Pacific side, I also became pretty familiar with Mr. Schindler's heroism during the Holocaust but it had often crossed my mind what actions the Philippines had taken in regards to the Holocaust, if any at all. I'm incredibly surprised and proud that our little island nation, or rather the current president then, had chosen to extend a helping hand. It warms my heart to watch this documentary and I'm glad the story has finally come to light, I only wished my dad had lived long enough to learn of this too because he was such a huge World War II buff and I believe, like then President Quezon stated, it would have made him proud.
I had the opportunity to review this film before its release. It is compelling and well done, and it focuses on a chapter of history few people have heard before. Well done!

(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee)
Mr. Oswald.
Of course John and I, when we attended military school, we had more of an opportunity to become acquainted with firearms. We certainly played with cap pistols, rubber guns, et cetera, when we were young. Lee did the same thing.
However, I would say this. Mother did not like firearms.
We will recess now until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
(Whereupon, at 12:30 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.)
Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed
The President's Commission reconvened at 2 p.m.
The Commission will come to order.
Mr. Jenner, will you please continue?
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Reporter, would you read the last question and answer we have so we can orient ourselves.
To refresh your recollection, Mr. Oswald, I had commenced to examine you with respect to the interests of yourself, your brother John, and your brother Lee in firearms, even at the children's stage. And you had indicated developments in that area as you became older.
I think you reached the point where, as an example, you said of course your brother John and yourself had attended military school.
And, also, I believe, sir, the question referred to all three of us.
To what extent we were familiar with firearms.
To elaborate, at military school John was by far the better shot of the two of us. He was on the school rifle team. And, at this time, I was 10 years old--when I first attended there. My hunting instinct came alive.
Hunting?
Hunting instinct came alive, and at the first opportunity I started hunting squirrels and so forth there in Mississippi. I did this on practically every occasion I had. John was on the rifle team. And up to that time, a number of years after that, we never had a firearm in the house. My mother didn't like them. She was scared of them. And after we moved to 7408 Ewing Street, none of us owned a rifle, even a .22, or a shotgun, or any type of firearm. And when I wanted to go hunting from there, I had various friends that had rifles that I would borrow, and I would go to the west side of Fort Worth, and Benbrook, and do my squirrel hunting.
I don't recall at anytime during that period that Lee went with me. I don't know that John did--because approximately this time he had reached the age of 17, at which time he joined the U.S. Coast Guard.
This is when you moved over to Ewing Street in Fort Worth?
Up to that time, had you and Lee at any time gone hunting?
No, sir; 1 do not recall any time that we went hunting at that time.
This was 1948-49. So he was 9 to 10 years old?
Had, to your knowledge, Lee gone hunting or used firearms or played or been interested in firearms with you or with your brother?
No, sir. To my knowledge I don't remember any time he went hunting with myself or my older brother John. As I stated, there was no firearms in the house.
He liked cap pistols, like any other kid. And to the extent that we didn't even own a BB gun.
Had you ever had BB guns around your home?
No, sir.

Q: Acting on job failure with ActiveJob and DelayedJob My Rails application is using ActiveJob + DelayedJob to execute some background jobs.
I am trying to figure out what is the way to define what happens on failure (not on error) - meaning, if DelayedJob has marked the job as failed, after the allowed 3 attempts, I want to perform some operation.
This is what I know so far:

*

*DelayedJob has the aptly named failure hook.

*This hook is not supported in ActiveJob

*ActiveJob has a rescue_from method

*The rescue_from method is probably not the right solution, since I do not want to do something on each exception, but rather only after 3 attempts (read: only after DelayedJob has deemed the job as failed).

*ActiveJob has an after_perform hook, which I cannot utilize since (as far as I can see) it is not called when perform fails.

Any help is appreciated.

A: You may already find the solution to this, but for people who still struggle on this issue, you can use ActiveJob rety_on method with a block to run custom logic when maximum attempts have reached but still failed.
class RemoteServiceJob < ApplicationJob
  retry_on(CustomAppException) do |job, error|
    ExceptionNotifier.caught(error)
  end

  def perform(*args)
    # Might raise CustomAppException
  end
end

You can find more info about Exception handling in ActiveJob in https://api.rubyonrails.org/v6.0.3.2/classes/ActiveJob/Exceptions/ClassMethods.html

Join the "Sea Village"
Justin Seagrave Menu
The music of Justin Seagrave comes from a deeply happy soul, a conservatory-trained musicality, and a love for story telling. His songs, which have won multiple international songwriting competitions*, whimsically explore death, life and the spaces between, and vary in style from spacious folk ballads to live-looping, virtuoso-funk.
At sixteen he was selected to become the First Teenager in Space (true story). Though he did not ultimately make the journey his love for performing and public speaking began there. He went on to study classical guitar with some of the world's masters at the San Francisco Conservatory, then began his true calling as a songwriter during a year of street performing across Europe.
His current project "The Justin Seagrave Show" is under works, and will be a live-looping/folk/funk/classical/electronic epic. He is writing and releasing bits and pieces of the show weekly to his social media channels, while sustaining himself as a full-time musician in his beloved San Francisco.

The South Korean Government is pushing to enact a law on foodstuff safety which would regulate the use of antibiotics in poultry, livestock and fish farming.
According to report by World Health Organisation (WHO), Koreans have the highest resistance to penicillin, a traditional antibiotic. It is believed this is connected to long term exposure to antibiotics in food.
Until fairly recently, South Koreans were able to purchase antibiotics, for ailments such as mild colds, without a prescription. The implementation of a system separating medical centres from dispensaries is believed to be helping reduce reliance on antibiotics in humans.
But unlimited amounts of antibiotics have still be used in raising chickens, cattle and fish, with an estimated 916 grams of antibiotics used for the production of one tonne of meat on average. This eqyates to about 30 times the amount used in advanced nations, according to concerned authorities.
It is feared that further exposure to antibiotics may increase the already concerning prevalence of immunity to antibiotics in South Korea. There has also been an increase in tuberculosis and other infectious diseases in recent times. It is hoped that the proposed new legislation will restrict the use of antibiotics in animal raising, and also increase awareness of the problem in the community.
