No One Left Behind
CitizenSoldier March 15, 2018
PFC Emmanuel Mensah.
Remembering PFC Emmanuel Mensah
One of the tenets of being in the American military is that no one gets left behind on the battlefield. PFC Emmanuel Mensah brought that commitment into his civilian life when he died while saving others from what has been reported as the deadliest fire in New York City since 9/11.
PFC Mensah was enjoying the holiday season prior to reporting for his first drill duty with the 107th Military Police (MP) Company, New York Army National Guard. Up to that point, he had been assigned to Alpha Company of the New York Army National Guard's Recruiting and Retention Battalion. He had just finished basic training and was preparing to become one of the 107th's newest wheeled vehicle mechanics.
On Dec. 28, 2017, PFC Mensah was suddenly confronted with a terrible choice. He could save his own life and a chance at the future he had worked so hard for; or put it all at risk to help those left behind in the raging fire that was enveloping his apartment building.
He chose the latter. At least four people are alive today in the Bronx, N.Y., because of PFC Mensah's decision. Detectives of the New York City 48th Police Precinct said the Soldier re-entered the fire at least three times to pull people from the inferno. The firefighters who found PFC Mensah on a neighbor's floor presumed he had gone into the fire one last time to try to rescue more victims.
The fire was started by an accident involving a gas stove in the kitchen of one of the building's apartments. The family living in the apartment where the fire ignited escaped, but the door was not shut behind them. That may be why the flames spread with such speed, investigators believe.

"It's a sad thing to see happen. He only had a brief time in his [military] career," said PFC Mensah's recruiter, SSG Ruben Martinez-Ortiz, Alpha Company, Recruiting and Retention Battalion. "It's hard when it's somebody that barely had any time in service, and yet they [still] go out in such a heroic way."
The staff sergeant recalled noticing that PFC Mensah stood out among other recruits from his first day in basic training. PFC Mensah addressed him as Sir from the beginning and usually did it from a position of parade rest, he recalled.
"He was professional with me at all times," SSG Martinez-Ortiz remembered. He always had the discipline from the very beginning. One could say he was a natural fit. He wanted to serve."
According to his friend and co-worker, retired SSG William Torres, PFC Mensah was already a hard worker even before joining the Army National Guard, and would work early shifts at La Guardia Airport in New York City.
"His job was to – at 4:00 in the morning – give out the radios and [other] equipment to the crew chiefs going out on the field," Torres said of his friend. "He was like a supply clerk. He ran the supply room."
Torres, who retired after 28 years of service in the Army National Guard, has been with American Airlines at La Guardia Airport for 22 years. He recognized the potential he saw in the hardworking younger man and encouraged PFC Mensah to look into the Army National Guard for opportunities.
"When I first met him, he was wearing a coat that had Marines on it," Torres recalled "I asked, 'You're in the Marines?' He said, 'No, no. I bought this jacket at a military surplus store.' That's how we started talking. I convinced him to join the Army National Guard instead of the Marines because they have more units here in New York."
PFC Mensah was an immigrant from Ghana. According to Torres, he truly valued the opportunities his new home offered, and when he learned more about the opportunities the Army National Guard could offer, he saw a real path to success.
"He was very excited when I got him the position in the 107th MP," SSG Martinez-Ortiz said. "He was so motivated. I remember the day he took the oath. He was excited. His life was about to change and he was ready to [embrace] the changes."
As a recruit, PFC Mensah did well in the Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP). SSG Martinez-Ortiz noted that he was a quick learner who was often a little ahead of the others in his group. Displaying traits that may have blossomed into the makings of a future leader, PFC Mensah did his best to help fellow recruits keep from falling behind.
"He was already a person that was willing to help people out," SSG Martinez-Ortiz said of PFC Mensah. "He already had the mindset that he wanted to help people." The staff sergeant said that PFC Mensah had helped fellow recruits with their workouts, and later had helped a Soldier with the same MOS.

91B was just a first step for PFC Mensah. He wanted to be in law enforcement, his recruiter said. However, the immigrant Soldier could not get clearance to become an MP until he obtained his U.S. citizenship. With his enlistment, he was on track for making that happen. SSG Martinez-Ortiz noted that with his placement in the MP unit, PFC Mensah would have been well positioned to pursue law enforcement once he obtained citizenship here in the United States.
The life of a Soldier looked to be a good fit for this driven and dedicated young man. He was already regimented, respectful and in great physical shape, according to friends. With all the Army National Guard has to offer – education, on-the-job training and potential citizenship – the future looked bright for PFC Mensah. He seemed to have found his path.
"It was in his heart," SSG Torres recalled. "He really wanted to do better for himself – do bigger and better things."
But on a cold December evening late last year, life intervened. PFC Mensah put all his hopes and dreams aside to help his neighbors one last time. As best he could, he would make sure no one was left behind. Those of us who take time to remember him are living testimony to the truth that his sacrifice was not in vain.
On Thanksgiving of 2017, PFC Emmanuel Mensah sent one last text to his recruiter. He wrote a simple thank you to SSG Martinez-Ortiz: "Thank you for changing my life and making me who I am today … a Soldier."
"I keep reading that text," SSG Martinez-Ortiz said. "That's the thing that keeps running in my mind since the incident happened. He was a really good Soldier."
PFC Emmanuel Mensah was posthumously awarded the Soldier's Medal by Army Secretary Mark T. Esper. It is the Army's highest award for heroism outside of combat. He was also posthumously awarded the New York State Medal for Valor – the highest New York State military award for heroism.
Alpha Company recognized their fallen brother during the RSP drill that followed PFC Mensah's passing.
SSG Martinez-Ortiz reflected that, "He'll live on through us."

Reika Morishita Looking to Revive MML Theme Songs
Mega Man Legends vocalist Reika Morishita is considering re-arranging the original game's theme songs, Another Sun and Your Wind is Blowing, according to a post at her official blog. 100,000 Strong for MML3 is reportedly working closely with Ms. Morishita to make it happen.
"The project is steadily going on. So, how would it be made up?" ponders Morishita. "Everyone, how do you think it will be like? What do you want it to be like? I want to hear your your voices about it. I think it will would be nice to incorporate the best opinions within it! Because, these songs are still alive in everyone's heart!"
"This is a serious career move for Ms. Morishita, and everyone here is very grateful for her efforts," writes a representative from 100,000 Strong. "For a temporary means of communication with her, all comments to this note will be read and translated for our great ally in arms to read."
Said note can be found here at the movement's official FaceBook group. All are welcome to provide feedback and words of encouragement to the singer. Ms. Morishita has previously gone on record to show her support for Legends 3's reinstatement. It would seem this is her way of not only trying catch Capcom's attention, but paying tribute to the fan movement itself.
This is a project that will take some time, mind you, so it might be a while before anything concrete surfaces. If anything of interest pops up, I'll toss it your way. Best of luck to Ms. Morishita!

Were these songs in the English versions of the games? If they weren't then I'm _probably_ not familiar with them. Still, obviously I support this effort nonetheless.
NEO Ness March 5, 2012 at 12:32 AM
Unfortunately, the songs were not in the English versions of the games.
Another Sun is a good song though, if you haven't listened to it, I'd recommend finding the Mega Man X anime promo video with that song in the background. (That was the first video I saw with Another Sun playing before I knew it was Rockman DASH's theme.)
Morishita Reika - if you need money to help support the revival, then money I shall give you...
The 3DS is still fresh, and hope still lives~!
Love both DASH 1 songs, it would be great if this project worked out :)
Your wind is blowing?
That is an unfortunate but hilarious title.
Bring Megaman Legends 3 back.. I dont care about her revive MML theme songs. It doesnt interesting me at all.
@Anon: You're an idiot. This will help revive MML3. read the article.
EngineR2 March 5, 2012 at 2:51 PM
@Anon #1:
You're missing the big picture. As Anon #2 was bringing out, this may help in the movement to get things rolling again. Besides that, I thought both of those songs were excellent, though of course, people are entitled to their own opinions.
About the theme songs' revival, it's hearing things like this, that helps me to remain hopeful and optimistic. Especially when it comes from someone who was involved with the game, in some way.
I'm sorry, that was directed at Anon #2, not #1, and I was referring to Anon #3's comment. Sorry for the mix up!
Best news in a while. Love both songs :)

Police: bus ran red light, flips on its side

Shaking and in a bit of shock, Nicole Zimbron stood at the side of the road as she watched firefighters sweep debris into a pile.
Just moments ago, this Logansport resident had been flipping through her cell phone, getting caught up on the events of the day. And just like that, her afternoon tilted on its axis – literally.
A passenger in a Cass Transit bus, Zimbron was focused on her messages when she felt a hard brake as the driver of the bus tried to stop.
But despite attempts, the bus driver allegedly ran the red light at the intersection of East Market Street and West Roselawn Avenue, according to Logansport Police Department Patrolman Tyler Miller, who was one of the officers rendering assistance and investigating the scene.
At approximately 3 p.m. Wednesday, dispatch received a call about the accident in which a bus had collided with a white Ford van. Miller said the bus had been traveling west on East Market Street and failed to stop, causing the van that was traveling south on West Roselawn Avenue to collide.
Zimbron said everything happened instantaneously. One moment, she was playing on her phone; and, in the next, passengers were flying through the air as the bus was knocked on its side, landing on the driver's side of the vehicle in the middle of Market Street. The back emergency exit door had been broken off of its hinges and glass was strewn about the interior.
"There was glass everywhere," she said, including on the pavement.
In fact, Zimbron said, as she fingered the bandage on her arm, shards of glass cut her when the windows shattered. Indicating she might go to the hospital after leaving the scene, just to make sure she didn't sustain further injuries, Zimbron was thankful the accident was not worse.
The other two passengers and the driver of the transit bus were not injured, said Miller, adding that the driver of the van had been transported to Logansport Memorial Hospital. He thought the driver's injuries were minor.
Names were not released as of press time.
With a crowd gathered, many people were taking photos and videos with their cell phones, as Brian Risher watched intently.
Thankful that no one was severely injured, Risher expressed concern about the bus. As a mechanic for Cass Transit, he recognized the major damage to the vehicle, especially as K&K Recovery of Logansport attached chains to the underside of the bus in an effort to pull it up and onto its wheels.
Slow and steady, the tow truck lugged the passenger's side of the bus forward. A few minutes later, it came down on the pavement with a resounding crash as the broken glass fell and the back-end door smashed to the ground.
Firefighters and police officers continued to clean up the scene as traffic was re-routed around the intersection.
Discount Towing removed the van.
Agencies at the scene included the Logansport Police Department, Logansport Fire Department, K&K Recovery, and Discount Towing.

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 30, 2006 -- A comprehensive scan of the human genome has identified more than 50 genetic abnormalities in people with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) announced today. The most common of these abnormalities have never before been shown to play a role in the disease.
TGen researchers, announcing the findings at an international ALS conference in Japan, said the identified differences implicate genes likely to play a role in cell function that controls nerve adhesion, offering a major new avenue for ALS research. TGen researchers identified the differences by screening DNA samples from over 1,200 people with and 2,000 people without sporadic ALS using state-of-the-art microarray technology by Affymetrix of Santa Clara, Calif.
"Our findings indicate these genes produce a sort of molecular glue that attaches motor neurons to muscle. It appears that in ALS the nerve is able to peel off the muscle and, when that happens repeatedly, the nerves die," said Dietrich Stephan, TGen director of Neurogenomics and the study's principle investigator.
ALS is a progressive neurological disorder that leads to paralysis and death in three to five years. It has baffled researchers for nearly 140 years.
What is extraordinary about this study is how quickly this breakthrough occurred. A new fast-track research funding approach used by MDA and a new microarray technology by Affymetrix that lets researchers quickly scan people's genomes enabled the experiment to be completed in just nine months.
"There is a revolution going on in research, and this study is a perfect example of how things are changing," said Sharon Hesterlee, MDA vice president of translational research. "New technology is letting us look at the genome at a level of detail that was unthinkable just a few years ago and, as a result, costs are coming down, results are coming much faster and we're seeing breakthroughs in diseases that have baffled researchers for decades."
The Affymetrix 500K Arrays identified the genetic differences between the affected and unaffected groups and rapidly produced a genetic map of each individual.
"Just a couple of years ago, this experiment would not have been possible because there simply wasn't a technology that enabled scientists to sift through the three billion molecules in the genome to find the genetic abnormalities that cause disease," said Sean George, vice president Academic Business Unit at Affymetrix. "The 500K microarray used on this experiment employs the same kind of semi-conductor technology that powers super computers."
According to MDA and TGen, the next steps center around high-throughput screening for drugs that act on the biochemical pathways identified by the DNA screen.
The massive project was funded by a $652,000 grant from MDA's Augie's Quest, a fast-track ALS research program, in collaboration with TGen. Blood donated for the study came from the MDA/ALS Center at Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston, the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Center at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, the MDA/ALS Center at the University of Pittsburgh, and the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig MDA/ALS Center at Columbia University in New York, as well as a dozen other collection sites throughout the United States.
MDA (www.mda.org) is a voluntary health agency working to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services and far-reaching professional and public health education. It operates 235 neuromuscular disease clinics, of which 37 are ALS-specific research and care centers, across the United States.
In 2006, MDA allocated some $7 million to ALS research and another $10 million for ALS health care services. Since its inception, the Association's expenditures for ALS research and services have exceeded $190 million.
TGen is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization focused on developing earlier diagnostics and smarter treatments. Translational genomics research is a relatively new field employing innovative advances arising from the Human Genome Project and applying them to the development of diagnostics, prognostics and therapies for cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes and other complex diseases. TGen's research is based on personalized medicine. The institute plans to accomplish its goals through robust and disease-focused research.
Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq:AFFX) scientists invented the world's first high-density microarray in 1989 and began selling the first commercial microarray in 1994. The microarray technology is used by the world's top pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology companies, as well as leading academic, government and nonprofit research institutes. More information about Affymetrix can be found at www.affymetrix.com.

Amazon would like to be your next video service operator: The retail giant has been pitching the idea to add third-party video subscription services to its Prime subscription service to TV networks and online video services, offering them offering them Amazon's huge Prime customer base with its existing billing relationships as an incentive.
News of the initiative was first reported by Bloomberg Wednesday, which reported that the company may be getting ready to launch these kinds of video packages as early as next month. Variety has since been able to confirm the news, but also heard from industry sources that there is some considerable skepticism about Amazon's efforts. At least one significant subscription service declined to be part of the offering, according to a source with knowledge of the plans.
An Amazon spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Many details about Amazon's initiative are still unknown. However, it sounds like Amazon isn't looking to build a full-blown TV service to compete with Sony's Playstation Vue. Instead, the company may be looking to bundle existing as well as emerging standalone subscription products like the ones launched by HBO and Showtime as well as online-only subscription services, and offer them to Prime subscribers on an a la carte basis or through small bundles.
This would allow Prime subscribers to easily add channels from third parties to their existing Prime Video subscription, and watch their programming through Amazon's existing apps. Amazon would handle the billing for participating networks and services, and in return take a cut from any subscription revenue. In a way, the model is similar to what Hulu has been doing with Showtime, which is currently being offered to existing Hulu subscribers as an add-on product.
Showtime and HBO may in many ways be the most natural partners for Amazon; both already use video service providers and other partners to market and sell their standalone video subscription services. However, existing online video services that have already built out apps for mobile and TV devices may be much more wary of Amazon's proposition.
Bundling with Prime could potentially get them marketing advantages, but they would also lose the direct billing relationship with customers, something that not everyone is ready to do. In fact, at least one online video subscription service declined to join Amazon's initiative for that very reason, Variety has learned.


Come and join us for our Thursday COED BOWLING LEAGUE in PORTSMOUTH!
This league will play on Thursdays between 7PM and 9PM.
Games will be played at the Bowl-O-Rama in Portsmouth.
This season will consist of 8 regular season games and a 1 week playoff for the top seeded teams. This season may be extended due to inclement weather cancellations.
This league consists of 4 players per team.
Teams are required to have at least 1 players of each gender.


1. In 1887 Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect, where electrons were emitted from a zinc surface when illuminated with ultra-violet light. These electrons (called 'photoelectrons') were only emitted when the frequency of the ultra-violet light was above a certain value (called the 'threshold frequency').
A. Assume that ultra-violet light is falling onto a piece of zinc, and photoelectrons are being emitted from the surface. As the intensity (brightness) of the ultra-violet light is increased, what happened to the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons?
If the intensity of the ultra-violet light is increased, more electrons will be emitted. There will be no change in the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
B. Explain why this discovery was not in agreement with the wave model of light.
According to electromagnetic theory, when light, thought to be composed of waves and falls on electrons bound in an atom, the energy of the liberated electrons ought to be proportional to the intensity of light. Experiments showed that, although the electron current produced depends upon the intensity of the light, the maximum energy of the electrons was not dependent on the intensity. Moreover, classical theory predicted that the photoelectric current should not depend on the frequency of the light and that there should be a time delay between the wave falling on the metal surface and the emission of the electrons.
C. Describe the new photon model of light, which was proposed as a result of photoelectric effect.


Each bed produced by Leonards is custom built and handcrafted. Customers visit the workshop to choose from a vast selection of antique bedposts and headboards, which are then resized to fit a new mattress. All of the wood is hand-scraped, not sanded, and then the entire bed is painstakingly stained and finished to match the original color.
By the time the bed is finished, it is not exactly old and not exactly new. It is a beautiful blending of the best elements of both. Jeffrey explains that while this process of blending old and new decreases the value of the bed as an antique, it does create an elegant, functional piece of furniture that retains its vintage charm.


The Gemara (Tamid 31b) records the dialogue between Alexander the Great and the Jewish Sages of the Negev. One question he put to them is Eizehu chacham – Who is wise?
In his heart, Alexander knows only one answer. We, the Greeks, are the wisest of them all. We have the greatest philosophers of the world, whose realm of knowledge encompasses all of the branches of science. We have the might, power and brains of Earth. We are vastly superior and utterly supreme!
The Jews answered, Haroeh es hanold – One who considers the outcome. A strange answer. The outcome of what? What happens if you mix sodium bicarbonate and citric acid? What is so smart about seeing the nolad – the outcome? Can't everyone see it? Apparently not.
What was the real dialogue between Alexander and the Sages?
Let's begin with some forensic analysis.
The Sages were not referring to foreseeing the future. That's the realm of the prophet, not the chacham. It's something that mere mortal man – bound by time and space and limited in his four dimensional world view – just can't do.
The Sages also skipped the obvious answer. Literally, the word chacham means one who has knowledge and acumen, implying that the one with the most knowledge or greatest IQ is superior. Obviously, their answer went deeper than that. It would seem that the Sages were referring to something beyond tomes of scientific knowledge or agile philosophical debate.
The Mishnah in Avos (at the beginning of the fourth chapter) gives a different answer. Who is wise? One who learns from every person. The talmid chacham – the perpetual student of wisdom – is the truly wise, for he loves wisdom. He loves it more than he loves himself. He will put aside pride, personal honor and his innermost feelings in its pursuit.
Why, then, did the Sages respond with "considering the outcome"? In light of "learning from others," shouldn't they have pointed to Alexander's arrogance or glory-seeking as impediments to acquiring wisdom?
I think that had the Sages responded with this answer, Alexander would have retorted in feigned sincerity – well, that's why I am here! As the original philosophers, the Greeks prided themselves on this very trait. The word philosopher actually comes from Greek, and means one who loves wisdom (Tashbatz).
The Sages answered Alexander according to his line of reasoning, while elaborating on his follies. Who is truly wise? One who considers the moral outcome of his actions. The one who looks ahead and acts righteously is the wise one. To be intellectually smart and act pompously, maliciously or promiscuously is meaningless – and stupid. The Sages were quick to point out to Alexander – all of the wisdom of the world comes to naught, unless you let the branch of wisdom that differentiates between good and evil, the primordial knowledge acquired in the Garden of Eden, influence your way of life. That's called seeing the nolad. Righteousness is "born" out of applying the wisdom of morality to one's actions.
Let us take this concept further.
The Gemara (Shabbos 31b) writes that reshaim are fully aware they will eventually die. Yet, they have no fear of Divine Judgement, nor do they entertain second thoughts in the face of Divine Retribution. And it's not like they forget about it either. Like the Psalmist said (Tehillim 49:14), "…folly is theirs, yet their destiny is on their lips…" They constantly make mention of their ultimate demise.
Another Medrash (B. R. 67:8) points out that reshaim are possessed by their hearts, unlike tzaddikim who have their hearts in their possession.
Why doesn't the fear of death make any impression on the rasha? Being held captive by his own heart – how can we fault the rasha for his evil deeds?
The Chida explains that one who constantly fulfills his desires and follows his evil inclination's every whim, slowly loses his ability to choose good over evil. His heart eventually becomes numb and defunct. It is the rasha himself who allows the evil inclination to take possession of his heart. From that point on, death holds no threat, and he can no longer adequately consider the outcome of his actions.
We have all heard of the concept of street smart. The Sages revealed a new branch of wisdom, something missing in the Greek lecture halls and textbooks, called life smart. Considering the outcome of one's actions brings a new dimension of understanding to life. It is, in fact, the ultimate body of wisdom, exceeding all others in its sublimity.
Awakened by the fragility and mortality of man, and honed by years of contemplating the purpose of life, the "one who considers the outcome" opens his eyes to the underlying rationale of existence. He looks for morals and meaning – and finds G-d. And he is awed by what he sees.
The chacham applies this life-smart wisdom to his actions and chooses to live by its teachings. It slowly softens his heart and makes it receptive to the Divine. All other wisdom pale in comparison, as man discovers G-d. When describing the wisdom of recognizing G-d, Iyov said "Hein – behold, the fear of G-d is wisdom" (Iyov 28:28). The Gemara (Shabbos 31b) explains that the word hein is actually a Greek word, meaning singular and unique. Recognition of G-d (and its awe-inspiring derivative, fear of G-d) is unique in the depth and breadth of its wisdom. The Scriptures specifically pointed this out to the Greeks by using a Greek term.
However, the Greeks saw no G-d. They were blinded by power and desire. Their hearts were hardened from contemplating the effect their actions had on their lives and how their immoral choices were leading them astray. Only someone who can remove the blinders of the evil inclination and place their heart in their own possession can taste that elixir-wisdom of recognizing G-d and seeing the true underlying reality of life.
The Greeks were smart – but not life smart. They claimed superiority and indeed had wisdom, but lacked the foresight and understanding to live accordingly. Their wisdom did not prevent them from acting immorally, becoming ruthless – and ultimately, being destroyed.
They could master every branch of wisdom and write the book on it, but when it came to personal rectification and impinging on their hearts desires, they stopped dead in their tracks. By doing so, they lost the battle of the wits.

Throughout history we have been similarly challenged – is it just give lip service to the chachma that we believe we have amassed in our head (as brilliant philosophers) or integrate that chachma with an eye towards the "nolad" in our daily thoughts, words, and actions (integrity). If we wonder why we need open miracles to deal with the sad state of affairs in our society – it's precisely this age-old problem – ignoring the nolad in our lives and avoid proper planning to achieve successful torah-aligned goals. Standing up for the emes despite popular opinion is the message of "mee laHash-m ailay".

Bevin begins administration with policy promises in inaugural address
After being sworn-in as the new governor of Kentucky late Monday evening in a private ceremony, Governor Matt Bevin spoke to the commonwealth Tuesday about what policy initiatives he plans to tackle in his inaugural address.
Among the issues discussed in his inaugural speech, Bevin talked about the need to shore up the state's retirement systems and ensure they are solvent moving forward.
"We talked about changing our retirement plans, the pension plans themselves, to ensure that we save them, so that we honor the commitment to our retirees and to our current employees and we are going to do that," Bevin said. "Because to do anything less than that is a disservice to those not yet employed, those currently employed and those who are retired. We will ensure that none of them get any of the promises made if we don't make hard decisions. And we will make those hard decisions and we will save our pension plans for those who have earned them."
During his campaign, Bevin said he believes the retirement systems need to be moved to a 401k style plan right away. Additionally, Bevin suggested the state begin offering lump sum incentives to some in the system to allow those individuals to remove themselves from the system and have control of their contributed amounts.
Bevin also brought up tax reform in his speech Tuesday to say he plans to modernize the state's tax code and "get rid of" things like the inventory tax and death tax.
"We're going to get rid of the very things that frankly send the message to the outside world that we are not serious about being a business-friendly state. We are going to break those things down and we are going to turn this state into the type of place that people not only want to come to but they want to stay," Bevin said.
On the issue of health care and the current state-based system insuring Kentuckians, Bevin maintained his position that he will transition people from the state-based health exchange to the federal level exchange.
In his remarks, Bevin called the system, Kynect "redundant" and said he plans to begin transitioning people to the federal exchange in 2016. Federal law requires that any state that wishes to dismantle their state-based exchange give a one year notice.
As for the expansion of Medicaid also done under outgoing Gov. Steve Beshear, Bevin said he recognizes there is need for such a program in this state and said he would like to "copy" the model put in place in Indiana to expand the assistance program but require Medicaid patients to pay a small co-pay and deductible.
Bevin also brought up education and the issue of school-choice, noting that Kentucky is one of seven states that has not adopted some form of charter school legislation and added he believes it is time for that to change.

Holi is celebrated as Shidmotsav to say farewell to winter and welcome spring. This begins with Naman or obeisant gathering of the villagers from the ninth moon day to the full moon day. They practice strict vegetarianism during these days: also avoid inebriating articles. The festival lasts a whole fortnight. This falls before the Christian Lent and the occasions is often used to make merriment for one time before getting out of it.
Shigmo Parade is an ancient Hindu religious practice that gains so much attention. These days a large crowd gathers to watch this.

The processions last until the wee hours of the morning on the next day. This begins in the courtyard of the temples and go on to the tune of the beating drums and flute. Local folksongs are sung to rhythm. People also throw red powder to mark the joy of the occasion.
Two thirds of the Goans are Hindus. There are the Vaishnavites who adore the incarnations of Lord Vishnu and the Shaivites who adore Lord Shiva.
Shigmoa is also a cultural exhibition. People in various villages plan tableaux for the occasion. The processions begin with brass bands reminding of the Maratha conquerors and the tribal perform the Kunbi Dance clad in golden attire. Also other forms of dances in the state and fire throwers from Kerala participate in the celebrations.
All march to the tune of the bid drums, in colorful dress matching the deities they worship. Some even enact the heroic deeds of the deities in fervor. The illuminated floats with larger than life effigies are so entrancing.
Kesarbai Kerkar Music Festival annual event is organized in memory Surashree Kesarbai Kerkar, a renowned Hindustani singer. Well known musicians from all over India pariticpate in the musical programs. There are also classical forms of dances staged here.
Kesarbai Kerkar Music Festival is usually held at the Kala Academy complex in Campal, North Goa District, near Panajim, in the month of November. The festival has been held for the last twenty three years and is an event loved by the Goan music enthusiasts.
Goa Heritage Festival, this annual event is held to preserve the intense cultural heritage of Goa. The life style and the rich heritage of Goa are displayed in the festival. This is organized in the month of November. Held near Panajim, at Campal this lasts for two days, near the heritage buildings. Awareness is created on the need to protect the built heritage of the state. A number of artists perform on the occasion. Display of ethnic dances is an invariable part of the show. Open forums and discussions are held. This event is an example of the government and the general public co-operation for the upkeep of a memorable tradition. GHAG, the Goa Heritage Action Group seeks to conserve the built heritage of Goa.
The Fontainhas Festival of Arts is organized at Panajim Goa every year for four days in February, by the Goa Heritage Action Group, Goa Tourism Development Corporation, and the Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, and Department of Arts and Cultures, scintillating performance by world class musicians enliven the show. A number of painting, sculptures, puppets and other objects of art are exhibited here. Thousands of people flock to enjoy the event. One whole the event an unprecedented chance for the various artists to interact and also provides fund for the upkeep of Goan Heritage Homes.
Konkan Fruits Festival is a unique festival. A variety of fruits are showcased along with scientific seminars, interactions, eating competitions, music and gala lasting for three days held at Campal, 2 km off Panajim, Goa. The public may visit the stalls from early morning to late evening. The fruits from Konkan belt are put on sale here. Various governmental institutes as Karnataka and Konkan Vidyapeet, Directorate of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research participate in the event.

It's a win-win for Monsanto. But it's a loss for just about everyone else.
One of the countries most affected by genetically engineered soy is Argentina, whose population is being sickened by massive spraying of herbicides across the country's Pampas (the country's "fertile plain").
190 million liters of glyphosate (the active agent in Roundup) are sprayed in Argentina annually, which is leading to not only illness among the population but to widespread deforestation, as trees are among the victims these herbicides leave in their wake of destruction.
Soya burgers are a staple of today's Argentinian diet. Argentinian children were consuming so much genetically engineered soy that they began developing breasts from the estrogenic effects, before authorities stepped in with warnings. Studies also strongly suggest that the glyphosate that these crops are doused with can cause cancer and birth deformities; both of which are occurring at increasing rates in areas where spraying is done. Sterility and miscarriages are also increasing. Experts warn that in 10 to 15 years, rates of cancer, infertility and endocrine dysfunction could reach catastrophic levels in Argentina. But few people are listening.

A: I'll guess that you're using this interface.  Here's the method signature in question:
void commitWorkingCopy(boolean force, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws JavaModelException;

Perhaps you can try casting that null to IProgressMonitor.
Another idea would be to look at the type returned by that method call and make sure that it implements the right interface.  Perhaps that is not correct.


The Daily Action Book Club will hold monthly online meetings to discuss stories of political activism.
Members of the resistance now have a new way to connect with each other, get inspired, and expand their knowledge of political activism. Daily Action, a text-message-based service that gives subscribers one resistance task each day (and facilitates the process), launched the Daily Action Book Club, moderated by The New York Times Book Review columnist, Benjamin Moser.
Each month, the Daily Action Book Club will hold an online meeting via the Daily Action Facebook page and LitHub, moderated by Benjamin, during which members will get the chance to discuss the books with the authors, and talk about how the stories and lessons apply to what's happening in our country and world right now.
Eager to participate? The book is available through many retail outlets, but one independent bookstore in particular, McNally Jackson will donate a portion of sales (from this book and all future book club titles) to Daily Action. Moving forward, Daily Action founders will consider member input to select monthly titles.
This club is just the latest in a major wave of resistance taking place across America. In the wake of Donald Trump taking office, there's been an amazing level of civic engagement and interest in politics. And, as many Americans fight Trump and the Republican administrations' actions like repealing the Affordable Care Act, eliminating environmental protections and greenlighting the Dakota Access Pipeline, revoking protections for transgender students, and cracking down on immigration; various organizations and people are providing services and tips for resisting effectively.

This article will look into how the process of obtaining a patent could be automated using deep learning approaches. A possible pipeline for processing a patent application will be discussed. It will be shown how current state of the art natural language processing techniques could be applied.
First, let's briefly look at how a patent is obtained. A patent application is filed. The patent application includes a detailed description of the invention, a set of figures, and a set of patent claims. The patent claims define the proposed legal scope of protection. A patent application is searched and examined by a patent office. Relevant documents are located and cited against the patent application. If an applicant can show that their claimed invention is different from each citation, and that any differences are also not obvious over the group of citations, then they can obtain a granted patent. Often, patent claims will be amended by adding extra features to clearly show a difference over the citations.
For a deep learning practitioner the first question is always: what data do I have? If you are lucky enough to have labelled datasets then you can look at applying supervised learning approaches.
It turns out that the large public database of patent publications is such a dataset. All patent applications needs to be published to continue to grant. This will be seen as a serendipitous gift for future generations.
A patent searched locates a set of citations based on the language of a particular claim.
– X: relevant to the novelty of the patent claim.
In reality, these two processes often occur together. For our ends, we may wish to add a further category: N – not cited.
I.e. a probability model for the search classifications given the claim text and citation detailed description. If we have this we can do many cool things. For example, for a set c, we can iterate over a set of d and select the documents with the highest X and Y probabilities.
Machine learning algorithms operate on real-valued tensors (n*m -dimensional arrays). more than that, the framework for many discriminative models maps data in the form of a large tensor X to a set of labels in the form of a tensor Y. For example, each row in X and Y may relate to a different data sample. The question then becomes how do we map (c, d, s) to (X, Y)?
Mapping s to Y is relatively easy. Each row of Y may be an integer value corresponding to one of the four labels (e.g. 0 to 3). In some cases, each row may need to represent the integer label as a "one hot" encoding, e.g. a value of  > [0, 0, 1, 0].
Mapping c and d to X is harder. There are two sub-problems: 1) how do we combine c and d? and 2) how do we represent each of c and d as sets of real numbers?
There is an emerging consensus on sub-problem 2). A great explanation may be found in Matthew Honnibal's post Embed, Encode, Attend, Predict. Briefly summarised, we embed words from the text using a word embedding (e.g. based on Word2Vec or GloVe). This outputs a sequence of real-valued float vectors for each word (e.g. vectors of length ~300). We then encode this sequence of vector into a document matrix, e.g. where each row of the matrix represents a sentence encoding. One common way to do this is to apply a bidirectional recurrent neural network (RNN – such as an LSTM or GRU), where outputs of a forward and backward network are concatenated. An attention mechanism is then applied to reduce the matrix to a vector. The vector then represents the document.
A simple way to address sub-problem 1) is to simply concatenate c and d (in a similar manner to the forward and backward passes of the RNN). A more advanced approach might use c as an input to the attention mechanism for the generation of the document vector for d.
To get our initial data records – (Claim text, citation detailed description text, search classification) – we have several options. For a list of patent publications, we can obtain details of citation numbers and search classifications using the European Patent Office's Open Patent Services RESTful API. We can also obtain a claim 1 for each publication. We can then use the citation numbers to look up the detailed descriptions, either using another call to the OPS API or using the USPTO bulk downloads.
I haven't looked in detail at the USPTO examination datasets but the information may be available there as well. I know that the citations are listed in the XML for a US grant (but without the search classifications). Most International (PCT / WO) publications include the search report, so as a push you could OCR and regex the search report text to extract a (claim number, citation number, search category) tuple.
Once you have a dataset consisting of X and Y from c, d, s, the process then just becomes designing, training and evaluating different deep learning architectures. You can start with a simple feed forward network and work up in complexity.
I cannot guarantee your results will be great or useful, but hey if you don't try you will never know!


In the past six years, James Wan and Patrick Wilson have made no fewer than four movies together. So it probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise that when it came time for Wan to add to the cast of his latest project, he turned to his favorite star. Wilson is jumping into the pool with Wan for Aquaman, joining Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Willem Dafoe. Learn more, including details on the character Wilson is playing, below.
Wan and Wilson shared the news on Twitter.
As mentioned above, Wilson will play Orm, a.k.a. the Ocean Master, half-brother of Arthur Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman. First introduced in the 1960s, Orm's background and abilities have shifted throughout the years (sometimes he's fully human, sometimes he's not, sometimes he has special powers, sometimes he doesn't), but you can generally count on Ocean Master to resent Aquaman and battle him for power. Previously, we'd heard that Black Manta would be the villain of Aquaman, and right now it's unclear whether this means Ocean Master is replacing Black Manta in that role or if both will appear in the movie.
Jason Momoa made his big-screen debut as Aquaman with a cameo in this year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and he'll be back next year in Justice League. The latter also features Amber Heard as Mera, queen of Atlantis and Aquaman's love interest, and Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, an Atlantean scientist and politician, ahead of their return in Aquaman.
Wilson worked with Wan on two Insidious movies and two Conjuring movies. Outside his work with Wan, Wilson's recent projects include Bone Tomahawk, The Founder, and the second season of FX's Fargo. Wan's no stranger to the superhero game, having played Nite Owl in Watchmen, directed by future Batman v Superman helmer Zack Snyder. Funnily enough, Wilson is technically part of the DC Extended Universe already — he had a voice cameo as the President of the United States in Batman v Superman.
Aquaman is in theaters October 5, 2018.


When the time arrived for Nissan to investigate roofing options for their Canadian Headquarters in Mississauga, they turned to us. Their 145,000 square foot roof had reached the end of its service life and had several issues with leaks. It most certainly needed replacing. We removed 2.1 million pounds (1,050 tons) of stone from the surface of the roof, cleaned it thoroughly and discarded it safely as clean fill. Because the client had not chosen replacing his tar and gravel roof with another one, we were able with this procedure alone to prevent 300,000 lbs (150 tons) of toxic waste from ending up in a landfill. We saved the existing insulation and added a second layer on top to increase the energy efficiency and overall R-Value.
By choosing Eco-Tech to create an entirely sustainable building envelope, Nissan will now save at least $15,000 per year in electricity consumption alone. Cooling costs will be cut by 1/3 and air conditioning units within the building will last much longer due to the reduction in workload. Not only have energy costs been drastically reduced, but alsotheir entire building envelope now provides a safer workplace protected from the harsh effects the elements will unleash over time.

TLC cancels its 'Honey Boo Boo' series
NEW YORK — The TLC network on Friday canceled its colorful series about child beauty pageant contestantHoney Boo Boo and her Georgia family.
The network had already completed filming of another season of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and was set to begin airing it at the end of this year.
TLC wouldn't publicly cite a reason for the cancellation, but said in a statement that "supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the childrens' ongoing comfort and well-being."
The cancellation came after published reports that June Shannon was dating a man with a criminal past.
June Shannon posted what she called a "truth video" on the Alana Thompson (Honey Boo Boo) fan page Friday morning denying the allegations. In the video, Shannon said she learned from TLC on Friday that the show would no longer be produced, adding that TLC had told her to be "hush-hush" about the situation.
"The statement of me dating a sex offender is totally untrue. Pumpkin (the nickname for the man she is reported to have dated) has openly said that I did not date him," Shannon said in the nearly three-minute video which had more than 5,800 "likes" and more than 1,100 "shares" from the page's 1.1 million fans within two hours after it was posted.
"I would not ever, ever, ever put my kids in danger. … That is my past. I have not seen that person in 10 years.
The series' star was Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, one of four daughters of June Shannon from rural McIntyre, Georgia. "Honey Boo Boo" earned her own series after attracting attention in the TLC show "Toddlers & Tiaras," and is known for coining catchphrases like "a dolla makes me holla." She's 9 years old.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was such a fast hit for TLC that two years ago, the network ordered Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas specials surrounding the family. Viewership has fallen off sharply since then, but it still averaged 1.5 million viewers for its most recent season this summer and remains one of TLC's most popular shows.
TLC is discussing ways to support the children following the cancellation, such as providing tutoring or counseling, said an executive at the network who spoke on condition of anonymity because the network didn't want to publicly discuss those plans.

 Seconde Guerre mondiale
À partir du , les soldats allemands lancent de violentes offensives contre les maquisards et les habitants du Vercors. À la Chapelle-en-Vercors, les soldats recherchent armes et résistants. Ils exigent la collaboration du maire Élie Revol et du curé Pitavy. Ces derniers refusent.

Le , les soldats allemands incendient une centaine de maisons. La population est alors divisée en deux groupes : l'un rassemble les jeunes hommes, l'autre les hommes plus âgés, les femmes et les enfants. Ces derniers sont alors enfermés dans l'école. Le soir même, les Allemands fusillent seize jeunes hommes dans la cour de la ferme Albert. La ferme sera incendiée.

New Cross Gate is a railway station in New Cross, London, on the Brighton Main Line and the London Overground. It is  down the line from  and is about  west of  station. It is in Travelcard Zone 2, and is operated by London Overground.

History

England's railway boom of the 1830s led to two competing companies driving lines through the area. The first, the London and Croydon Railway (L&CR), established a station on New Cross Road close to Hatcham in 1839. The second, the South Eastern Railway (SER), established a station near Amersham Way in the heart of New Cross in 1849. After both stations came under the ownership of the Southern Railway on 1 January 1923 the former L&CR station was renamed New Cross Gate on 9 July 1923.

During the 19th century, New Cross (Gate) became an important junction where the South London Line, the East London Line, and the Bricklayers Arms Line diverged from the Brighton Main Line to .

London and Croydon Railway Station

The original station was officially opened on 1 June 1839 by the London and Croydon Railway. and became fully operational on 5 June 1839. It was intended to become the main freight depot and locomotive workshop for the company. In July 1841 the line (but not the station) was also used by the London and Brighton Railway. The London and Croydon and London and Brighton companies merged to form the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) in July 1846. Between February and May 1847 the station at New Cross was the northern terminus of the atmospheric propulsion system introduced by the L&CR, but in the latter month the system was abandoned by the new company.

London Brighton and South Coast Railway Station

On 1 October 1847 the newly formed LB&SCR closed the existing New Cross station, replacing it with another at Cold Blow Lane 0.25 miles to the north, in an attempt to secure passengers from the planned North Kent Line of the SER. This move was not a success and was subject to much local criticism, so on 1 May 1849 the LB&SCR rebuilt and re-opened New Cross on the original site.

The current station therefore dates from 1849 but was again rebuilt in 1858 to allow for the quadrupling of the Brighton Main Line. Further rebuilding was undertaken in 1869 when the East London Railway opened a line to Whitechapel and .

The line through the station was electrified in 1928 by the Southern Railway using the third rail system, although the majority of services continued to be steam hauled until the electrification of the Brighton main line in 1932.

East London Railway Station
On 7 December 1869 a separate station for East London Railway services was opened adjacent to the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway station. It was closed on 1 September 1886 when services were diverted to the LB&SCR station. Soon after closure the station was demolished and the land used for sidings.

East London Railway
The East London Railway (ELR) was owned by a consortium of railway companies. Passenger services were operated by the LB&SCR between Croydon and Liverpool Street, and from 1884 by the District Railway between New Cross (Gate) and Shoreditch. LB&SCR services ceased on 31 March 1913, when the line was electrified using the fourth rail system and thereafter all passenger services were operated by the Metropolitan Railway. For the opening of the ELR a separate ELR station was built in 1869 adjacent to the LB&SCR station. It was closed in 1876 and the trains were diverted to the adjacent LB&SCR station. It was reopened in 1884 for additional Metropolitan District Railway services only for it to close two years later. The ELR station was then demolished around 1900 and the site used for sidings.

In 1933 the Metropolitan railway was taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board, which operated services as part of the London Transport Metropolitan line. London Transport was superseded by Transport for London (TfL).

Freight yard
The London and Croydon planned to use New Cross as the London terminal for its freight traffic, as the station had good access to the Grand Surrey Canal. It therefore built extensive sidings for this purpose. After 1849 the principal freight-handling facility in the area was moved to Willow Walk on the Bricklayers Arms site, but the sidings continued to be used for the storage of carriages. An Ordnance Survey map for 1871 shows a substantial carriage shed on the west side of the main line, north of the station, but this was no longer shown on the 1894 map. It had been replaced by a combined carriage and locomotive shed on the east side of the line in 1894, but this closed in 1906.

Cross-London freight services were operated to the yard by the Great Eastern Railway, which maintained its own goods depot on the site from the 1870s. These services were continued by the London and North Eastern Railway from 1923, and after 1948 by the Eastern Region of British Railways. They ceased to operate in 1962.

Locomotive depot and repair workshops
The L&CR opened a motive power depot and a locomotive repair facility here in 1839, the former of which appears to have been particularly accident prone. The original building, one of the earliest roundhouses, burned down in 1844. A replacement was built in 1845, and a straight shed built by the LB&SCR in 1848 was blown down in a gale in October 1863. Two further buildings were constructed by the LB&SCR in 1863 and 1869. By 1882 the second (1845) Croydon shed was derelict and in that year was replaced by the new shed, which was rebuilt with a new roof by the Southern Railway (SR) prior to 1929.

The various running sheds began to be run down during the 1930s as part of a re-organisation scheme involving new developments at Norwood Junction, but the onset of war meant that they were not formally closed until 1947 and were used for stabling locomotives until 1951. They were demolished in 1957 together with the repair workshops, and replaced by sidings for the storage of electric multiple units.

The locomotive workshops established by the L&CR continued to undertake minor repairs on locomotives in the London area for the LB&SCR and the SR, and also briefly for British Railways. They were closed in 1949.

London Overground
The East London Line closed on 22 December 2007 and reopened on 27 April 2010 as part of the new London Overground system. The service was also closed between 1995 and 1998 due to repair work on the tunnel under the River Thames. The East London line extension included a flyover north of New Cross Gate allowing trains to run through from West Croydon, plus the construction of a train servicing facility nearby. Platform 1 and adjacent track (southbound) were refurbished, with the line continuing under New Cross Road, before merging with the down slow line. LO services terminated here until 23 May 2010 when services were extended south. Ticket barriers were installed to all platforms in time for the London Overground services to commence.

Bakerloo line extension
TFL has proposed future London Underground services at this station as part of the Bakerloo line Extension. TFL claim that if funding is correct, construction would start in 2023 and services would start running in 2028/29.

Services
Services at New Cross Gate are operated by Southern and London Overground using  and  EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 2 tph to
 8 tph to  via
 2 tph to  via
 4 tph to
 4 tph to

The station is also served by a single early morning and late evening service to  via , with the early morning service continuing to  and .

Platform layout
The layout is:
Platform 1 is used by London Overground trains to  and
Platform 2 is used by Southern trains to  and Coulsdon Town
Platform 3 and 4 are not usually used
Platform 5 is used by Southern trains to  and London Overground trains to

Thameslink trains and other Southern services regularly pass through and occasionally stop at the station.

Connections
London Buses routes 21, 53, 136, 171, 172, 177, 321, 436, 453 and night routes N21, N53, N89, N136 and N171 serve the station.

Accident
On 7 August 1899 a train hauled by "Terrier" No.59 Cheam collided with "Gladstone" No. 199 Samuel Laing after the driver overran signals approaching the station. Fifteen people were injured.
