Ocna de Fier (, ) is a commune in Caraș-Severin County, in the Banat region of southwestern Romania. It is composed of a single village, Ocna de Fier.

History
Along with the Dognecea area, Ocna de Fier is among the few settlements in the world that supported almost continuous mining for some 4000 years.

Archaeological evidence shows that mining in the area dates back to the Bronze Age (1900–1700 BC). The main ore exploited in those times was native copper from the oxidation zone of the deposit. Later on, iron ores brought about a gradual switch from copper to iron mining.

Mining was an activity of the Dacians, the ancient inhabitants of present-day Romania. After the Roman conquest in 106, mining was expanded in the Roman province of Dacia. At Berzovis (present day Berzovia, ten kilometres northwest of Ocna de Fier) a Roman metallurgy school, Schola fabrorum, was established, showing the keen interest the Romans had in metal extraction. At Cracul cu Aur (Romanian for "Golden Tributary"), north of Ocna de Fier, old Roman gold mining galleries can still be seen. They look like the much better preserved ones at Rosia Montana ("Verespatak"), in the Apuseni Mountains.

The Constantin Gruescu Iron Aesthetic Mineralogy Museum is located in Ocna de Fier.

These days, more and more software vendors are claiming that their products are "XML-compliant." This sounds impressive, but is it really something to be excited about? Certainly, well-formed XML guarantees some minimum standards for data quality; however, that isn't the whole story. XML is not itself a language, but a set of rules for designing markup languages. Therefore, until you see what kind of language the vendors have created for their products, you should greet such claims with cautious optimism.
The truth is, many XML-derived markup languages are atrocious. Often, developers don't put much thought into the structure of the document data, and their markup ends up looking like the same disorganized native data files with different tags. A good markup language has a thoughtful design, makes good use of containers and attributes, names objects clearly, and has a logical hierarchical structure.

The ArcFM Stored Items dropdown menu is available on the ArcFM and ArcFM Viewer toolbars and provides access to Page Templates, Stored Displays, and Documents from a single tabbed interface. These tools provide users with the functionality to access and manage stored items (e.g., stored displays, page templates, and documents).
If multiple users will be saving system stored items, then it is important that their clocks be synchronized. This ensures that locks are honored properly when determining who saved a system stored item last.
Each stored display and page template can contain only one data frame.
Note that if you save a stored display with custom map scales, these custom scales will not be visible when the stored display is opened in ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine.
Version information is not saved with stored displays.
If a customer's workflow adds layers containing features that participate in a geometric network, those layers must be present when opening a new stored display. This ensures that existing geometric networks are fully removed from the ESRI Utility Network Analyst.
We support stored displays with joins only if every join in the stored display is based upon a pre-existing relationship class.
TIP: Feeder Manager 2.0 Users: By default, when you open a stored display or map document, all layers containing features that participate in an electric geometric network configured for Feeder Manager 2.0 will automatically join with feeder information data in the plug-in data source. Joins existing prior to your use of Feeder Manager 2.0 are not affected by this process. In order to avoid the automatic joining of feeder layers each time you open a stored display, you should re-save your stored display after first opening it when using Feeder Manager 2.0.

May-20-2019
For the past 72 years, a local project has helped ensure people in need have a way to buy food at Christmastime. The generosity of Jackson County residents has resulted in more than $10,000 being raised each of the past couple of years for the Christmas Basket Fund. That allows for $50 Jay C Food Stores gift cards to be distributed to less-fortunate people in the area whose applications are approved. "We really help a lot of people locally in need," said Carl VonDielingen, chairman of the Christmas Basket Fund. "There are a lot of families that can really use the food for Christmas." This marks his eighth year of being chairman, and he is just as excited about it today as he was at the beginning. "It's just something I can do to give back to the community," he said. "Since I've been retired, I can take time out. It's quite a chore, actually." The fund was started in 1945 by veterans returning home to Seymour and Jackson County from World War II to provide food for area families at Christmas. Originally, the fund served those in need in Seymour, but it later was expanded to include all of Jackson County. The 73rd year of the project is sponsored by American Legion Post 89 in Sey...

Survival Kit for the Age of Technology – a Co-created Video Book
During the week of June 10 – 16th, it is time for another Future DiverCities LAB at BEK! We will use last year's seminar Survival Kit for the Age of Technology as our point of departure, and have invited a number of artists, creatives and experts to co-create a Survival Kit for Age of Technology – in the form of a video book. The result will be released in a video screening open for the public at BEK on Saturday June 15th.
Video screening June 15th from 18.00 – free and open for all!
Light refreshments will be served.
Please note the the screening will start 18.10

We wade around in terminology, technical gadgetry, new and old habits of communication, all of which have been spawned by technological developments. There have been so many new developments in such a short span of time, that we have not yet come to a conclusion about what the whole of it means in practice, theory or interaction between ourselves. We may all have felt – at work, in one's private life, in all relations that we are a part of – that our understanding of technology is not enough. What it means to us and what it does to us is not easy to get an overview of, especially if we are up to our knees in it. Our time is scary, frustrating and can move in many directions. What should we know, what should we do and what ought we to master?
With this as a starting point we will make a video book together; a Survival Kit for the Age of Technology. The video book will be co-created by artists, creatives and experts suggested within Future DiverCities (FDC) for this LAB at BEK.
This LAB is a follow-up of last years seminar Survival Kit for The Age of Technology. The "mining" we did then resulted in experiences, artistic outcome and most important: three lectures that is advising us on what we need to have in our Survival Kit for The Age of Technology. The lectures exist as texts and as a live streamed and captured video that is accessible on BEK-Vimeo. Participants in this years LAB will create artistic and discursive context based on this material. The format is time based and will be created as video chapters. The video book will be made with the production facilities at BEK, and with the assistance of videographer Paul Johannessen and artist Anne Marthe Dyvi.
The artists invited to the LAB are both local and international, all with the experience and interest in technology, research and artistic practice. The lab will provide technology and tools, research material, project space and a program of talks and excursions. The Video Book will be co-produced by everyone participating, and participants have a shared ownership to the work and everyone involved can respectfully share and use it in the future.
Artists Samuel Brzeski (GB/NO), Stine Gonsholt (NO/DE), David Guez (FR), Åse Løvgren (NO), Linda Kronman (FI), Sara Salamon (HR) and Andreas Zingerle (AT)
Commissioned chapters to the video book

About the participating artists
KairUs Art + Research
KairUs is a collective of two artists Linda Kronman (Finland) and Andreas Zingerle (Austria). Currently based in Bergen (Norway), they explore topics such as vulnerabilities in IoT devices, corporatization of city governance in Smart Cities and citizen sensitive projects in which technology is used to reclaim control of our living environments. Their practice based research is closely intertwined with their artistic production, adopting methodologies used by anthropologists and sociologist, their artworks are often informed by archival research, participation observations and field research. Besides the artworks they publish academic research papers and open access publications to contextualize their artworks to wider discourses such as data privacy & security, activism & hacking culture, disruptive art practices, electronic waste and materiality of the internet.
David Guez
David Guez realizes artistic projects related to new medias that mainly focus on the themes of memory and time. He also worked on the realization of many collaborative platforms which question the uses and limitations of new technologies while offering new alternatives. These projects are produced for and are present in many art centres like Centre Pompidou, Jeu de paume Gaité lyrique, plateau, Centre Barbara, Banff, File Festival Brazil, ISEA 2015/2016.
Samuel Brzeski
Samuel Brzeski's videos, texts and performances concern how the accelerations of contemporary culture have transformed our perception of time and shifted our understanding of what it means to be present. This includes an interest in the temporality of the voice, the experience of deja vu and cultural repetition, and the effects of digital culture on emotion. The focus of the works themselves is on the building of empathetic pathways between increasingly isolated individuals in order to create a communal understanding. This is addressed by fostering an atmosphere of shared experience through immersive video and sound installations, as well as extended performance works centring on the voice. The installations and performances almost always have a basis in writing and text, sometimes working from original writings of the artist's, and sometimes working from the writings of others.
Brzeski (b.1988, London) studied BA English Literature at University of Sheffield, UK and MA Fine Art at Bergen Academy of Art, Norway. He has exhibited in London, Venice, Berlin, Prague and Bergen and has taken residencies in Italy, Germany, Finland and Wales. He is a core member of the Bergen based writing collective TEXSTgroup, who explore the presence of text within visual art in all of its manifestations. Samuel is currently a Research Assistant in New Media at Bergen Academy of Art and lives and works in Bergen, Norway.
Åse Løvgren
Åse Løvgren is an artist working in a wide range of formats where collaboration is often at the core. Current project is "The Valley" in collaboration with Stine Gonsholt where they use the small place Dale as a prism to look at transitions in global production and economy, and how this alters our understanding of place. Recently a server farm was established inside the old textile factory in Dale, mining for Bitcoin. The project works with the sounds and surfaces of the landscape mixed with the history and current stories of Dale. Løvgren was co-artistic research leader in "Synsmaskinen" based at the Faculty of Art, UiB (synsmaskinen.net). The research project proposes a multifaceted inquiry into contemporary crises. Together with Karolin Tampere she initiated the ongoing collaboration Rakett in 2003, which is a mobile platform for multivocal exchange through collaborative and investigative curatorial and artistic projects. She is project developer at VISP where she hosts Critics' Conversations that aims to engage a public conversation and response to art exhibitions and projects.
Current exhibitions/projects are Balkong Tromsø/Tromsø Kunstforening: Performance in collaboration with Frans Jacobi, Earth Market Stockholm curated by Mossutställningar/Stella D'Ailly, Vestlandsutstillingen 2019 curated by Marte Danielsen Jølbo, and Nye Fortsettelser curated by Anne Szefer Karlsen. In March she had a working residency at Bergen Centre for Electronic Art.
Stine Gonsholt
Stine Gonsholt is a visual artist working within the field of video, photo, animation and sound installations. For several years, Gonsholt has realized projects that deals with questions related to development processes. Changes within local communities as a consequence of increased global mobility is a main point of interest. As of 2017, she is collaborating with artist Åse Løvgren, in a landscape investigation of Dale on the West-Coast of Norway (The landscape as idea and reference point).
Stine Gonsholt work is exhibited internationally and acquired by amongst other: The Arts Council Norway (2005), University of Stavanger, Norway (2006) and The Norwegian Journalists Association (2009). Her first documentary film "Mission Mongolia" received the BKH prize 2003 and was shown on the public broadcaster in Norway, NRK. She has received State working grants for artists and in 2014 "The Telemark County footprint award", for the project "Corridors", where she documented transitions caused by infrastructure constructions in Benin, Togo and Burkina Faso.
Gonsholt (b.1973 in Skien, Norway) graduated from Bergen National Academy of Arts in Norway in 2003. She divides her time living and working in Skien and Berlin.
Sara Salamon
Sara Salamon (b. 1991) is visual artist who lives and works in Zagreb, Croatia. In her work she is trying to betray the media – to transform it, reshape it, reuse it, constantly trying to develop different conditions of and for it. The ultimate inspiration she finds in collective wilderness. She is making various experiments with Hrvoje Spudić, and is a member of collectives Experiment Platform, Muzak and B.A.K.A. productions with which she combines performing arts, visual arts and filmmaking. Sara is working as visual artist, director of photography, film editor and media technician. At leisure time, self-taught, enthusiastic and researcher of new technologies and methodologies.

Google Chromecast mirrors your display from an Android device, an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, or Chromebook. "Mirroring" means having another device show your screen exactly as you see it on your computer or mobile device. However, you can also extend your desktop surface, not just mirror it. This can be more useful in a lot of situations–you're opening up a whole new screen to use as a second desktop. Imagine if, whenever your desk was too cluttered with papers and knick-knacks to properly use it, you could just get another desk without needing to tidy up the first one. However, using Chromecast to extend your desktop or laptop screen requires some minor effort on your part. Not quite as much effort as dragging in an empty desk, thankfully. This article will cover the process for both Windows computers and Macs.
This walkthrough includes screenshots from Windows 10. However, this method of extending your display works with Windows 8 as well; you can follow the same steps for that Windows version.
Once in Display, click on "Detect." Here, we are going to trick Windows into thinking there's a secondary display already attached, even though it isn't. It says "Display not detected," but shows a blue screen—click on it.
Select display 2. In the drop-down box, select "Extend these displays." Click the "Apply" button. A message will pop up and say, "Keep these display settings?" Click the "Keep changes" button.
Now you are ready to use the secondary display to extend your desktop surface with your Google Chrome browser and Chromecast.
Open Google Chrome on your desktop.
Before you can connect to your Chromecast by clicking the Chromecast icon in the upper-right of your Chrome browser, you first need to click the small arrow on the Chromecast icon area. From there, scroll down to "Cast screen/window (experimental)." Then, select it.
As the "Cast screen/window", choose display number 2, the one we just fooled Windows into thinking we have. Now you should be able to see your Windows desktop on both your computer and your TV screen.
You now have an extended desktop surface. This allows you to move extra open windows, open programs, and applications between your desktop and TV screen.
Now we'll take a look at how to extend your Mac's desktop screen through your Google Chromecast device.
Once your Google Chrome browser is downloaded and installed, or open on your Mac if you already had it, you'll want to make sure you have the most current version.
To do this, click on Chrome in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. Then, select "About Chrome." As of the end of 2018, Chrome is up to version 71. As long as your Chrome browser is up to date, when you select "About Chrome" it will notify you that you are using the most current version of Chrome available. Otherwise, click on the button to get updates when given the option.
Click on the Google Chromecast icon in the upper right of your Chrome browser.
Choose "Cast desktop." You'll be returned to the main Chromecast selection box.
Next, select your Chromecast device. Ours keeps telling us it's "Unable to mirror system audio" at this time.
Another box pops up on the screen, asking, "Do you want Chrome Media Router to share your screen?" Click on the "Yes" button.
Your Mac desktop should now be extended to where your Chromecast device is plugged in.
Keep in mind that the sound will still only be audible on your Mac, not on your extended display and sound set-up. We also noticed a slight lag in playback on our extended display, which is a large-screen TV.
Display extension will come in handy when you are working on something from your laptop or desktop and want to watch, look at, or work on something else on a bigger display like your television. Whatever your needs are for extending your desktop screen—work or pleasure—this is an excellent way to use the Chromecast to your advantage when you need a bigger desktop.
Looks like this is a Windows 10 update issue that the 'Phantom' display not appearing after the latest windows 10 update. Would be great if anyone was able to get around this problem so that one can use their chromecast as an extended display.
This work really good to mirror my MacBook screen on the TV. The question remains as to how to extend the desktop (Second Monitor/Scree). Any advise?
I was looking for a solution to extend my Windows 10 desktop and cast the second screen to my Chromecast connected to my TV. I was able to do so after playing with it for a while. If you press Windows+P, you can choose to extend your desktop. Then a second monitor will display under Display settings. When you use Chromecast and cast your desktop it will ask you which screen to cast ,screen 1 or 2. If you choose screen 2, your normal desktop is display on your computer and what ever you put on the extended screen will show on your TV.
It seems that some updates to Windows 10 have made this walkthrough non-applicable to it. To get a second desktop on your television or where ever you've got the Chroemcast hooked up, you'll need to press the Windows + Ctrl + D. Then; you can switch between your Windows 10 Pc and secondary screen with the task view icon in the taskbar. Hope this helps!
but when I do that, the the screens also switch on chromecast itself. is there a way to have a static screen?
Hi Heather, thanks for the article. I also found the same problem as Alan and Nate. You say that in the display section of Settings, after clicking on "Detect" I would get a message that says "Display not detected." Instead, I get a message under the box where the blue screen is that says "Didn't find another display." When I click on the blue screen nothing happens: I can't see "Multiple displays" with the drop-down box anywhere. I'm on a dedicated windows only pc running windows 10. Any ideas?
This doesn't extend the desktop on the mac. It only mirrors it.
Thank you. Your solution proves to work!
Thank you for your kind words. I don't think Chromecast can do beyond two displays at a time. However, if you wanted to use your HDTV as the Secondary display, yes you could do that.
Hi Heather. I read your article on How To Extend Your Desktop with Chromecast. It was awesome. I have a question. I'm using my laptop and have it extended to a second monitor. I would like to know if in addition to that, I can use Chromecast to extend it to an HDTV. I would then have three devices, the laptop, the monitor and the TV. Thanks.
Just voicing my interest in an updated version of this post in line with Miguel E.
I'm working on an updated version of this article.
Any update on this article….I have looked high and low and it seems that Windows 10 removed both ways to force windows in thinking there is a second screen.
Regarding the Mac version. Your title says "Extending" the monitor. However the instructions are for "mirroring" the monitor.
I agree. I was only able to "mirror" my screen on a Mac. I need to be able to "extend" my screen.
The only solution we've seen to create a second monitor instead of mirroring the Mac desktop with the newer versions of Chrome haven't been found yet. A suggestion that could work for you might be the Airparrot 2 app. You'll get a free trial period and if you're happy with it, it can be purchased for $12.99 once the trial period expires.
We've not yet found a solution for the second monitor running on Windows. They have updated Chrome and have changed the Chromecasting function somewhat. We will update you when we have more new information.
I've tried the instructions for the Mac, and it works as stated; however, how do I get a second monitor to cast? I am trying to run a presentation, where the presenter sees something different on their mac screen than what is cast. This used to work in beta mode (I could select which desktop to cast), but I don't see to have that option with the recent updates.
Thanks for commenting, Nate. The only time we've experienced what you're describing was when we tried to use Parallels on a Mac. Are you on a dedicated Windows only computer?
I don´t get a "phantom" second monitor neither. I'm using Windows 10 x64.
Thanks for asking Gene. We will do some testing and get back to you.
I have a surface pro 4 with two monitors attached. Is it possible to only share one of them or a specific program like it was before the update? Now when i share my desktop it puts all three screens up on the tv and you cant read any of them because they are so small. Sure liked the way it used to work.
Is this possible to do on a mac? I am currently unable to do it.
We have added the information on how to extend your MacOS desktop to the post above.
The steps is to mirror the Desktop, its not for extending desktop on MacOS..!!!!

Stephen Chow, China's Huayi Brothers in Dispute Over 'Journey to the West' Profits
12:54 AM PST 2/28/2013 by Clarence Tsui
The Hong Kong director and mainland Chinese film studio are locked in a war of words over the distribution of earnings for the blockbuster.
HONG KONG – As Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons continues its record-breaking march towards becoming the top-grossing domestic production ever released in China, a parallel drama is unfolding online, as the film's producer-director and his mainland Chinese partner engage in an escalating battle over how the spoils are to be shared.
For the past week, Stephen Chow Sing-chi's Bingo Group and the Beijing-based Huayi Brothers studio have issued separate notices contesting how Journey's net profits are to be divided. The main sticking point is whether Huayi is an investor in the production, or merely the Chinese distributor of the film -- if the latter, the studio's take will be considerably less.
STORY: 'Journey to the West' Passes $160 Million at Chinese Box Office
The saga began on Feb. 5, when an entry in Huayi CEO Wang Zhonglei's blog stated how his company is contracted to receive the biggest share of Journey's net profits -- a comment followed two days later by an official notice claiming the studio to be an investor as well as the mainland Chinese distributor of the film. This claim contrasted sharply with Bingo's announcement last Nov., which did not name Huayi among the project's four financing parties.
As Journey broke the 1-billion-yuan ($160 million) threshold on Monday, Huayi issued another notice stating the company should receive pre-tax profits of $31.5 (196 million yuan) from the film. Bingo responded in the evening with an online notice saying that Huayi would receive 12 percent of the film's net profits as distributors plus an additional share of box-office dividends, while the investors -- excluding Huayi Brothers -- may "actually obtain approximately 70 percent of the net income calculated from distribution of the film in mainland China."
After Bingo's missive dismissing Huayi's claims of being an investor, Wang fought back with yet another post the next day claiming it should be his company, under an agreement struck with Bingo and their partners, which is to receive 70 to 90 percent of the film's net takings after the deduction of the distribution fee -- an amount which would translate to total earnings from $43 million (270 million yuan) to $57 million (356 million yuan) if the film is to surpass 1.2 billion yuan ($192 million) in ticket sales, as many analysts predict.
STORY: Stephen Chow Signs Deal for 'Journey to the West' Theme Park
Speaking to the Apple Daily newspaper on Wednesday, Chow declined to comment on his conflict with Huayi, saying his company is already dealing with the matter. The potentially disintegrating relationship between Chow and Wang is startling, given how the pair regularly appeared together at promotional events for Journey before the film opened.
Huayi has been pursuing better financial returns in 2013 after the disappointing performance of Feng Xiaogang's historical drama Back to 1942 in 2012. Made with a budget of $33.7 million (210 million yuan), the film only took $58 million (364 million yuan) during its Nov.-Dec. run, losing out not just to Ang Lee's Life of Pi but also actor-turned-director Xu Zheng's comedy Lost in Thailand, which has since gone on to gross $202 million (1.26 billion yuan), becoming China's highest-grossing domestic production ever.

CJ's birthday was fast approaching and of course that meant I had to dig out my cake decorating box. CJ is an avid Cars fan so we ran with that theme. DaddyO made him Alton Brown's butter cake and then Grandma and EJ went to work decorating it.
Pretty soon EJ was adding the grass by herself.
Of course she couldn't let any green frosting go to waste.

Q: The derived subgroup of an infinite nilpotent group has infinite index Another problem about nilpotent groups I cannot get a grip on:

Let $G$ be a nilpotent group. If $G/D(G)$ is finite (resp. countable), then so is $G$.

I've tried to use induction looking at the derived series, but nothing has come of it, and that's not a surprise, since it says "nilpotent" and not "solvable". Apart from that, I'm completely lost.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

A: Let me expand a little on Arturo's comment. Let $G = G_1 > G_2 > \cdots > G_{r+1}=1$ be the lower central series of $G$, where $G$ is nilpotent of class $r$. (So $G_2$ is the derived group.) By definition, $G_{k+1} = [G_1,G_k]$. Using the basic commutator identities, you can show that the commutator map $(g,h) \to [g,h]$ induces a bilinear map $G_1/G_2 \times G_{k-1}/G_k \to G_k/G_{k+1}$, and hence there is a homomorphism $G_1/G_2 \otimes G_{k-1}/G_k \to G_k/G_{k+1}$ So if $G_1/G_2$ and $G_{k-1}/G_k$ are both finite, then so is $G_k/G_{k+1}$. It follows by induction on $k$ that if $G_1/G_2$ is finite or countable then so is $G_k/G_{k+1}$ for all $k$ and hence so is $G$.
Similarly, if $G_1/G_2$ is a torsion group then so is $G$, and you can use this to show that the torsion elements of any nilpotent group form a subgroup.

'Why on earth was he allowed to fly?' Why not?
by Stella W. Y. Chan on 2015/03/30
Before I start this post, on behalf of Research The Headlines, I would like to convey our sympathy and condolences to the families and friends who have lost their loved ones in the recent Germanwings plane crash. Any loss of life is tragic. In a disaster like this, we are all desperate to know 'Why?'. Unfortunately, the more anxious we are to find out the truth, the more likely we are to become the victims of irresponsibly written newspaper headlines, the sole aim of which is to spark sensation rather than to provide the much needed accurate information.
As far as we know, there seems to be enough evidence to suggest that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane into the mountains. His motives, however, remain very much unknown at this stage of investigation.
Unfortunately, many journalists seem to believe that they know the answer already. Opening with a bold headline 'Suicide pilot had a long history of depression. WHY ON EARTH WAS HE ALLOWED TO FLY?' the Daily Mail went on to claim that 'The killer Alps pilot's boss last night admitted he had slipped through "the safety net" and should never have been flying.' It is a mystery where this "admission" came from. Reviewing the full (translated) transcript of the Lufthansa press conference published by The Independent, the only information disclosed was that the co-pilot 'interrupted his training', and that 'I cannot tell you anything about the reasons of this interruption, but I told you before that anyone interrupts the training has to do a lot of tests so the competence and fitness would be checked again.' So, what was claimed by the Daily Mail could not be further from what was actually said.
Disappointingly, the Daily Mail was not alone in speculating on the co-pilot's motive solely based on his presumed history of depression and current mental state. 'Madman in Cockpit' said the Sun; 'Killer Pilot Suffered From Depression' wrote the Daily Mirror. Blame was further indicated against the airline for failing to prevent depressed individuals from becoming pilots or at least not having done enough to assess mental health problems of their staff. 'Lufthansa knew about killer pilot's depression' claimed The Times.
Before we jump to conclusions, what do we really know about this co-pilot? Almost nothing! A statement issued by Dusseldorf University Hospital only confirmed that the co-pilot had attended the hospital but no further information regarding his medical or psychiatric condition was disclosed. Similarly, the police have reportedly found some 'sick notes' in his residence, but again the contents of these notes are unknown to us. So, all we know really is that: 1) he might have a history of depression, 2) he might have been treated for mental health difficulties, and 3) his ex-girlfriend confirmed that they have recently broken up.
As a clinical psychologist, I often struggle to understand why people seem to think that individuals with depression would be prone to violence. I puzzle because there really has not been any research evidence whatsoever to suggest such a link. In fact, mental health patients were shown to have double the risk of being a victim of homicide than people in the general public. While depression does unfortunately increase the risk for suicide, and some depressed individuals may experience irritability or anger, depression does not lead to any significant risk of harming others. Violence of this scale, or mass murder as in this case, is extremely rare. Even if this co-pilot was indeed depressed or suffered from other mental health difficulties, either in the past or at the time, we simply cannot deduce that his mental health was the sole or main cause of committing such an act. It should also be emphasised that, even if mental health difficulties did play a role in influencing the co-pilot's action on this occasion, a single, rare, and isolated case cannot be generalised to imply that depression or mental health problems increase the risk for murder.
Amidst all the horrendous headlines, it was a refreshing sight to see The Guardian present an insightful article. Entitled 'Don't blame depression for the Germanwings tragedy', this article not only helped quash the myth about the link between depression and violence, it also highlighted the risk of 'further demonising those with mental health problems'. In fact, the arguments presented in The Guardian were so comprehensive, well researched, and balanced that it almost rendered it unnecessary for me to write this post. However, against the many misleading headlines, I believe there could never be too many attempts to de-stigmatise mental health difficulties.

We are all anesthetised to the media sensatationalism that will inevitably a massive tragedy such as this. However, it does open up the more urgent need for ALL those with such responsibities for safety of passengers, that mandatory disclosure of all medical conditions should be disclosed at all times, not only to the pilot,s employers but also the Civil Aviation Authorities who would be the arbiter in deciding the fitness of such person to fly, and when in any doubt, suspend the pilot.
As someone who flies frequently , and has been a user of German wings, it never crossed my mind that the pilot might have suicidal tendances..
Mandatory medical disclosure for pilots and other such staff has to be seen to be effective and now. Having two people in the cockpit is just a tempory sticking plaster.
Hopefully this will be a massive WAKE-UP call to all civil aviators.

Q: If $Y$ is a Hausdorff space and $X$ which is a subspace of that space is limit point compact space . Then $X$ is closed. If $Y$ is a Hausdorff space and $X$ which is a subspace of that space is limit point compact space . Then $X$ is closed.
Can anyone give me a trivial counter example?

A: Let $Y$ be $\omega_1 + 1$ and $X$ is $\omega_1$, in the order topology.
Here $\omega_1$ is the first uncountable ordinal, and $Y$ is its successor (one extra point).
Another example: let $Y$ be $[0,1]^\mathbb{R}$ in the product topology, and $X$ the limit point compact subset of all elements that are $0$ except for at most countably many coordinates. ( A $\Sigma$-product, this is called). This $X$ is dense and not closed in $Y$.

Q: Atmel SAM E70 SPI Chip-Select (SPCS) lines I deliberate the datasheet of Atmel's SAM E70 Cortex-M7 and i have a confusion about SPI.
When SPI is in master mode, it uses NPCS lines for Chip Select (Slave Select). But i can't find a report which explain that those lines used all of them (as outputs) by the peripheral, or there's able to using one of them.
Therefore, it is forced by hardware to make all SPCS lines as outputs in master mode? Or it is possibility to get only one SPCS line, as chip-select, only SPCS0 for example?
By the datasheet:
The SPI operates in Master mode or in Slave mode. The SPI operates in Master mode by writing a 1 to the MSTR bit in the SPI Mode Register (SPI_MR).

*

*Pins NPCS0 to NPCS3 are all configured as outputs.

*The SPCK pin is driven.

*The MISO line is wired on the receiver input.

*The MOSI line is driven as an output by the transmitter.

A: Being an output or an input has nothing to do with what your lines will do if they are configured as Chip selects.
You may either configure them as GPIOs (in which case they have nothing to do with the SPI subsystem) or as SPCS lines (in which case the GPIO configuration becomes irrelevant). Of course you are able to only configure 1 or 2 or 3 chip selects and the other line(s) as GPIOs (inputs or outputs).

Prevention is the only foolproof method of avoiding ticks or Fleas.
By using KG Pet Wash and GO with Cedarcide Original you can prevent and protect while not using pesticides on your pet or in their blood.
Before and after you and your pet engage in outdoor activities during tick season, it's advisable to apply a non-toxic KG Pet Spray insecticide and Cedarcide Original repellent to both yourself and your furry friend. It's also generally a good idea to treat your yard for fleas and ticks with (Yard Guard ) product during the warmer months of the year.
Hiking, camping, dog-walking- running—any outdoor activity, especially those in or around tall grass, can leave you the host of a tick. It's important to check both yourself and your pet for ticks after engaging in any activity that might have exposed you to these parasites. Ranging from the size of a pinhead to 2/3 of an inch, ticks can be brown or red and even white and blue-green (especially after feeding)—but in all cases, ticks can easily go unnoticed. Especially when searching your pets for ticks, it's crucial to take your time and be thorough.
For Pets: Slowly brush your fingers through their fur, looking for any unusual bumps or lumps on or near the skin. Ticks particularly enjoy hiding in dark, warm locations, so be sure to check on and within your pet's' ears, between toes, under armpits, and under or near their tail.
When checking yourself for Ticks, pay close attention to these areas: armpits, ears, belly button, scalp, around the waist, back of knees, crotch, thighs, and in between toes and fingers.
As mentioned above, ticks carry various infectious diseases. When removing a tick, it's not uncommon for the parasite to become damaged, spilling blood and other fluids in the process. To avoid having these potentially hazardous fluids seep into a crack or sore in the skin, it's best to be cautious and always use gloves when handling or removing a tick.
Spray Your pet's coat with either Cedarcide Original or KG Pet Spray directly in the area of the tick to first contain it.
As ticks — when harmed or irritated, can expel infectious bodily fluids into the bloodstream of their hosts.
If the tick as not by now fallen off by its self then the follow-on with the tweezers.
Using pointed tweezers only, grab the tick as close to the skin surface as possible; this usually means grabbing the tick by its mouthparts.
If the tick's mouthparts break off in the skin, attempt to carefully remove them. If this cannot be done spray again with Cedarcide Orginal or KG Pet Spray, stop trying and leave them inside. Monitor the site and consult a medical professional if you spot any signs of infection.

OC Inmates Filmed Their Own Daring Jail Break on Contraband Cellphone
By Vikki Vargas	• Published at 3:09 pm on July 25, 2017
A video newly obtained by NBC4 shows the first-person vantage point, taken on a contraband cellphone, of the daring escape of three men last year from a maximum-security wing at an Orange County jail and scenes from their days on the run.
The trio, along with a cab driver pressed into transporting them, evaded a statewide manhunt for more than a week before two were captured in San Francisco. The third had turned himself in to police.
The video was provided by an attorney connected to the case, not by the Orange County District Attorney's Office, and was clearly heavily edited. It contains voice-overs by one of the escapees, recorded after their capture, giving his version of events and railing against the legal system; pop music as background to their odyssey; news clips about their flight from the law; and — most revealing — the cellphone video of their escape and their time on the run.
In the version above, NBC4 has removed the pop music out of copyright concerns and has blurred the faces of inmates who were not part of the caper. No other portions of the video have been edited by this news station.
A clip shows the inside of the maximum security dorm room, known as Module F, where the men were housed. How the inmates got the cellphones and were able to record in jail is not clear.
"My name is Adam Hossein Nayeri," Nayeri says in voiceover to the video. "You know, a lot of people like to credit us with some Houdini escape act all in eight minutes flat. It's an interesting myth."
"In reality we did leave that mod after count. Not the one they're claiming though. I left that module at least eight hours earlier the night before."
The video is filled with inmates who seem to know Nayeri is recording, but do not react, except for fellow escapee Bac Duong, who flashes a wide grin when the phone is pointed at him.
The video then shows the escape.
Nayeri carefully lifts a sawed-off bunk bed leg, exposing a previously cut metal screen. It is set aside as he disappears into the vent.
The trio crawl through plumbing shafts within the walls of the jail, leaving behind pieces of cloth. Nayeri stops and gives a thumbs up to the cellphone camera at one point.
More metal bars are removed. Jonathan Tieu reacts to the light of the cellphone. Noises from a wind turbine can be heard in the background.
Then they approach the final hurdle as the skyline of downtown Santa Ana comes into view. The inmates have reached the rooftop of the Orange County Jail.
The video does not show how the inmates got to the ground. On the video Nayeri says they had industrial rope, a toolbox, a duffle bag and new clothes.
Both men take turns posing at the corner of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco.
Next there is video from inside the white van, where they were sleeping.
"This is our casa for the moment. This is our crib. Water, all the basics. You want some bananas. No, we don't have crack, crystal meth. Don't have that we smoking weed and eating bananas. It's kinda bananas," Nayeri can be heard saying.
A marijuana pipe is flashed. They hold up a bottle of Jack Daniels.
"Friday night in San Francisco, a special Friday night in San Francisco."
The video does not show the moment hours later when they were arrested. Instead, Nayeri narrates the final two minutes of the edited video.
"We scared a lot of people and caused a lot of anxiety and fear and at the end of the day I can't say I feel good about that. I can't."
In another section of the video, Nayeri refers to Long Ma, the taxi driver, who they are charged with kidnapping, and who drove all three inmates north.
"This man is truly a hero," Nayeri says. "I wonder if people will understand what I'm talking about."
Photos show Ma with Tieu on a beach, appearing to pose for the cellphone camera.
"He just radiated this calm fatherly presence," Nayeri says.
On the video Nayeri says he doesn't know what happened, a possible reference to Ma leaving with Bac Duong. Ma would later try to claim the reward money.
"I wish I could help him more," Nayeri says. "I just didn't have $180,000 at the moment."
Tieu stayed behind with Nayeri. Duong came back to Santa Ana and turned himself in.
"This is Bac," Nayeri says about his fellow escapee. "The first man in history to try to collect reward money on himself."
Huong Tu, Ma's attorney, says he's not surprised at the tone of the video.
"What I see is it fits the criteria very well that the defense says none of this happened," Tu said. "But obviously we know the facts that they did escape and definitely there was a kidnap of Mr. Long Ma."
Lt. Lane Lagaret, an Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman, said the footage is part of an ongoing investigation and is consistent with information OCSD has already supplied verbally to the media.
"We will not provide additional comment on a video narrative that seeks to or make light of criminal actions," he said.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office told NBC4 it would be inappropriate to comment on the video because the case is in litigation.
Before the break out, Duong faced charges including attempted murder, assault with a firearm, first degree residential burglary, and shooting at an inhabited dwelling, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. He had a prior strike conviction for first degree burglary in 1995 in San Diego County, and prior prison convictions for second degree burglary in 2007, reckless evading of a peace officer in 2008, and possession for sale of a controlled substance in 2011.
Nayeri had been facing charges including kidnapping, aggravated mayhem, torture, and first degree residential burglary, officials said.
Tieu faces charges including murder, attempted murder, shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, and street terrorism, officials said.
What's in the video above:
Beginning to 1:35 - Orange County sheriff's officials speak at a news conference, followed by news reports about the jail escape and manhunt.
1:36 to 3:13 - A voice of a man identifying himself as Hossein Nayeri speaks over images of the jail, saying the escape "took a few hours to set things up." He says they had a duffle bag and a backpack containing hundreds of feet of high-grade industrial ropes, a toolbox, shoes and clothes.
3:14 to 4:26 - Shaky video appears to have been recorded with a cellphone shows the inside of the jail with inmates milling around sleeping quarters.
4:27 to 5:20 - A man in an orange OC Jail jumpsuit removes a ventilation cover, then crawls through it, turns around and gives a thumbs-up to the person recording the video.
5:21 to 6:51 - Several video clips show void spaces between walls lined with pipelines and a man removing bars from a crawl space entrance.
6:52 to 7:17 - Images show a man at night posing for a camera on the jail's roof with barbed-wire edges.
7:18 to 9:54 - The man narrates over images again, with escapees Hossein Nayeri and Jonathan Tieu posing for photos in plain clothes at the beach with the cab driver they kidnapped. "His presence kept a loose cannon from acting out," the voice says.
9:55 to 12:28 - More news reports of the escape and images of the escapees posing in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.
12:29 to 13:33 - Images purport to show the stolen white utility van the escapees traveled and lived in. Inside, there are blankets and pillows, bananas, bottled water and a lawn chair. The men pose with a marijuana pipe and a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey.
13:34 to end - The voice dubs Orange County law enforcement "the reality distortion club."

NEWARK — A 386-house development on the southwest side of town got the the green light Thursday night.
The 69-acre project at Cherry Street and Stevenson Boulevard is part of a larger 560-acre parcel that could include more than 1,000 houses and a golf course or other recreational amenity. The area had been called Area 3 and Area 4.
Environmentalists objected to building near the Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, along the shoreline to the west. The group Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge sued, and the city had to issue a new environmental impact report.
The development at Cherry and Stevenson, called Sanctuary Project, is scaled back from an earlier proposal for about 600 houses. The city staff wanted larger lots, less density and a more traditional layout, said Assistant City Manager Terrence Grindall.
"We pushed them, we pushed them," Grindall said before Thursday's meeting.
Sobrato Development Company also will donate a 6-acre site to the city for an elementary school and an adjacent 3-acre parcel that will be a park shared by the school district and the city. The developer also will dedicate a 66-acre area along Mowry Avenue to Newark for recreational use, whether a golf course or something else, such as playing fields, Grindall said.
Sanctuary Project is east of the railroad tracks, in what was called Area 3; Area 4 is west and nearer the shoreline. Sobrato also is working on plans for developing Area 4, but that will require approval from the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the state if wetlands are modified, Grindall said.
Some state and federal agencies objected to the Area 4 development, saying the area should be included in the wildlife refuge. But those agencies do not have authority to reject the project.
The developer also would have to raise the area above the flood plain in Area 4.
"In Newark, we don't allow any development in areas that are flood-prone. To develop Area 4, about a million cubic yards would be needed to lift it out of the flood zone," Grindall said.
The environmental impact report estimated it would be about 80 years before the area may be impacted by sea level rise, he said.
