I'm leaving later today to start my road trip to Ohio! I'll be meeting my sister down at Club Ponderosa tonight and we'll be heading out tomorrow morning. We'll be seeing The Black Keys in concert Friday, Saturday we'll be hitting up the St. Brendan's Festival and meeting up with some friends. I'll drop her off at the airport to fly home on Sunday while I head over to Dawn's house to spend the week. Saturday I'll be driving up to North Canton to meet Shawn and hang out with his family, then we'll both drive back on Monday. Good times await!! I'll be taking a break from posting, but will be sure to let you know of my Buckeye adventures when I return.

Q: Consultar varios campos de un nodo en firebase Al hacer una consulta en firebase en un nodo como en este caso el documento, quiero traer dos campos de ese nodo y ponerlos en una variable String, para agregar información a la base de datos no uso login, uso el método push().
al pulsar el boton consultar, se compara el documento con el que se digíta en un edittext, luego recuperaría el valor de los campos a1a2_a1 y a1a2_a2, en este caso recibo el valor nulo.

El listener que ejecuta la consulta e intento recuperar el valor de los campos: a1a2_a1 y a1a2_a2. obtengo null.
consultar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    });

}

}

A: Para que te sea de mas utilidad vamos a hacer lo siguiente
Creamos una clase aparte ( un bean ) con los datos a solicitar , notese que lo podes expandir a los datos actuales que tienes en firebase
public class Polla {

    private String a1a2_a1;
    private String a1a2_a2;

    public Polla(){

    }

    public Polla(String a1a2_a1, String a1a2_a2) {
        this.a1a2_a1 = a1a2_a1;
        this.a1a2_a2 = a1a2_a2;
    }

    public String getA1a2_a1() {
        return a1a2_a1;
    }

    public void setA1a2_a1(String a1a2_a1) {
        this.a1a2_a1 = a1a2_a1;
    }

    public String getA1a2_a2() {
        return a1a2_a2;
    }

    public void setA1a2_a2(String a1a2_a2) {
        this.a1a2_a2 = a1a2_a2;
    }

}

luego solo recorremos cada push key dentro de polla y obtenemos lo que queremos ( lo que definimos en nuestro bean )
en este caso voy a hacer referencia a polla
mDatabase.child("uniagust").child("polla").orderByChild("doc").equalTo(dat_2).addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
  @Override
  public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

    for(DataSnapshot snapShot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()){
    Polla polla = snapShot.getValue(Polla.class);
    //Obtenemos los valores que queres
     String a1a2_a1 = polla.getA1a2_a1();
     String a1a2_a2 = polla.getA1a2_a2();

      Log.e("Datos: " , "" + a1a2_a1 + "" + a1a2_a2);

       }

  }

  @Override
  public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
    System.out.println("The read failed: " + databaseError.getCode());
  }
});

Donde mDatabase es
DatabaseReference mDatabase;

mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();

Rubber finishes and polarized lenses complete a style that is as appetizing and up to date as possible.


We thank Dr. Lipczyńska and colleagues for their interest in our work (1). However, it is crucial to differentiate between the various uses of echocardiography in heart failure (HF). Our paper focuses on risk stratification for future clinical (stage C) HF and has implications for subclinical heart disease (stage B HF) screening (1). Therefore, our inferences cannot be extrapolated to clinical HF, where assessment by echocardiography is a class I indication by most guidelines. The low rates of echocardiography referral for patients with suspected or confirmed HF among primary care physicians (PCPs) cannot be solely attributed to cost or limited access as implied. Delayed uptake of evidence-based practices among PCPs is a key factor. In IMPROVEMENT (Improvement programme in evaluation and management of heart failure) (2), 82% of patients eventually had echocardiography despite 45% of PCPs recommending it, a discrepancy that is difficult to explain by waiting times or workforce distribution by that time (3). In SHAPE (Study Group on HF Awareness and Perception in Europe), the disparities in HF management between internists, PCPs, and cardiologists extended to all evidence-based measures, pointing to gaps in provider education (4).
Echocardiography for risk stratification based on HF risk profile or screening for stage B HF is a different domain. In our paper, we have expressed concerns that screening—as the sole HF prevention strategy—is unlikely to have a tangible impact on HF burden, especially when limited to detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). The limitations of LVSD screening are not remediable by improving patient selection or, alternatively, by containing the unit cost of echocardiography; these limitations are rooted in the epidemiology of HF. Most HF cases are older adults, most of whom have HF with preserved ejection fraction, which carries mortality and population attributable risk of death (5) and cost of care (6) comparable to HF with reduced ejection fraction. Screening for LVSD, the primary use of hand-carried ultrasound, would not detect these cases. Therefore, the effectiveness of a screening strategy that misses most future cases, and that may result in false positives incurring expense and risk of additional testing, is dubious.
Screening may be beneficial for the individual patient with a high pre-test probability of potentially treatable findings—although this would have to include abnormalities beyond LVSD. From this perspective, patient selection in combination with unit-cost containment is worth considering. In this spirit, hand-carried ultrasound is an interesting option for individuals with >10% projected HF risk, reserving the full test for those with positive/equivocal findings. Finally, the concordance in basic echocardiogram interpretation between experts and nonexperts has been observed in relatively small studies; it remains to be determined whether this applies in large-scale screening. In any case, we agree that, in this era of increasing healthcare costs and complex economics, these strategies would need evaluation in prospective studies.

Home A & E Review: David Sedaris at the Eccles
Review: David Sedaris at the Eccles
Christie Marcy
In this age of instant gratification, the author who can get people to read is a rare thing—let alone convincing 2,500 people to show up at a reading—but David Sedaris manages to do them one better. He gets people to pay for the privilege of seeing his slight frame disappear behind a podium and read—both from published and unpublished work.
There's banter in between, of course. Like, for example, when he tells the crowd that he's happy to be reunited with his "beloved" Little America, which he calls "a five star motel" and says keeps getting "better and better." Sedaris is a well-documented admirer of the smaller of Salt Lake's America hotels—I think he's mentioned it each time I've seem him live.
Sedaris started the evening with an essay that read like a series of diary entries detailing his experiences leading up to and in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election—including relatable interactions with his republican father. The tone of these essays put into words what I was feeling, and continue to feel as the administration rolls on. At the end of the essay Sedaris leaned into his mic and whispered, "I don't like the President," and the crowd, full of NPR listeners and New Yorker readers cheered.
Sedaris, who has lived abroad for many years, talked mostly about the beach house he and his partner bought near the spot his family vacationed as a child in North Carolina. And in perhaps the best non-reading moment of the night he told the audience that the house is named the Sea-Section. And if that weren't clever enough, he added that he'd like to get a boat and name it "Row Vs. Wade." Funny, enough, right? Not for Sedaris who follows that up with a the idea that he'll also put on the boat the phrase "Seaman got you into this." And then, the piece de resistance—Sedaris joked that he'll perform abortions in international waters because soon we might need that service. And.. well, suffice it to say, the joke got more crass after that.
Following that were stories of an abscess cut out of his body and fed to a snapping turtle, a crude joke about Princess Diana (when the crowd moaned, Sedaris shrugged—"Too soon?") and a vulgar joke he was told by an 11-year-old boy.
This is not This American Life David Sedaris. But this is who you get when you read his books—this is who Sedaris really is, I think to myself. He, like the rest of us, cleans it up for mass consumption—but I know, I think, who he really is. And I like it.
And then, just like that, in the middle of a essay he read about his family, more specifically, sister Amy's visits with psychics in the aftermath of another sister's suicide, the mood turns. Sedaris turns somber, serious and raw and the crowd reacts in kind.
And it's all that moment that I realize that, as it turns out, Sedaris' strength is not in his sense of humor—though it is mighty. His strength is in his ability to connect with his audience in such a way that he can alternate between dick jokes and personal trauma and still have them hanging on every word because he remains a genuine voice in almost any circumstance. That's what's selling the theater tickets—and for that, he deserves every dollar.

This post is part of the Leading for Engagement series by Susan Mazza. To learn more about the link between leadership and employee engagement and read other posts in the series, click here.
Attention leaders: did you know that YOU have the potential to become your organization's most engaged employee?
This might be shocking to read because most of us consider a low level of employee engagement to be an organizational problem. Yet even defining the problem at the organizational level somehow makes it seem removed from the everyday course of doing business.
A person on your team might start an employee engagement initiative, but somehow it then becomes the challenge for the people working on that committee rather than a challenge everyone must roll up their sleeves to address. If you ask Human Resources to lead the way, you will undoubtedly get some great data, strategies and guidance, but ultimately the change still needs to happen in the everyday interactions involved between people and their supervisors and managers.
I've found that poor employee engagement is not an organizational problem, it's a leadership problem. I say that because if we are to solve the rampant systemic issue of low employee engagement, there is only one place for leaders to look-their own everyday actions.
Those who lead engaged employees, whether as entry-level supervisors all the way up through the highest executive ranks, are easy to spot if we pay attention. You can recognize them because they relate to the world around them from a context of "OUR success is up to me." True leaders are the most engaged employees of all others regardless of their title or position. They care about both the people and the results, and their results tend to stand out. They aren't likely to be thinking about this thing called "employee engagement"-they are simply engaging with people to both make a difference and do great work.
Great leaders don't think about #employeeengagement. They simply engage with employees.
Employee engagement at its most fundamental level is actually very simple: engagement either happens, or it doesn't. It's helpful to think of employee engagement as one interaction, one transaction, one conversation at a time.
What do leaders who naturally cultivate engagement specifically do that others do not?
1. Know what their employees care about and what challenges they face.
Engaged employees take their work and their workplace seriously. They don't just punch a clock; they invest themselves fully in doing great work and making the biggest difference they can make. Ask yourself, how much do you really know about those you lead-their aspirations, their challenges, what matters most to them?
Pro tip: If you want others to make their work personal, then you'll need to connect with them personally.
2. Ensure their employees know that the leader sincerely cares about them.
Engaged employees actively show how much they care about both people and results in everything they do. That's why as leaders, we must get to know them and show them that we care about them, too. Do those you lead believe you care about them as much as you do their results?
Pro tip: To tap into the potential of your organization, you need to tap into the potential of the individuals in your organization. You can only do that if you get to know who they are.
3. Actively nurture an alignment between what the employee cares about and what your business cares about.
A vision doesn't translate into a reality until people engage with the vision and somehow make it their own by making it personal to them. This isn't something you do with fancy presentations. It's something that can only be accomplished through conversations designed to make meaningful connections between what matters to them and what matters to your organization. This is not a one-time exercise, either. People get far too easily caught up in the day-to-day grind and lose their connection to why it all matters and how they fit into the bigger picture.
Pro tip: When was the last time you had a conversation with those you lead about how what they do connects to your vision for the future?
Engaged employees take their work personally. Therefore, if you want to lead an engaged workforce, you must engage with them personally.
What can you do today to engage more personally with those you lead?

Haley Reinhart Drops Sultry New Single 'Don't Know How To Love You'
posted by James Dinh - Sep 14, 2018
Haley Reinhart returned with a brand-new single called "Don't Know How To Love You," on Friday (September 14) and the former American Idol is set on stirring up all kinds of emotions.
Clocking at just over four minutes, the intimate number hears the 28-year-old offer up soaring vocals as she confesses her conflicting battle with a longtime lover. "In the morning I reach for your embrace/ 'Cause I know that you need mine/ And I want you to know it can stay this way till the end of our lives," she croons atop the midtempo melody. It's all positive passion until she drops a confession during the hook: She doesn't know how to love her beau. Co-written and co-produced by Reinhart, the track serves as the lead single from her upcoming fourth studio album, which is scheduled to drop in 2019.
In a statement to iHeartRadio, Reinhart emphasized how personal the track stands amongst the rest of her discography, saying, "'Don't Know How To Love You' is a soulful ballad that def tugs at the heartstrings. It's one of the most vulnerable songs I've ever written and co-produced." The cut follows in the footstep of her jazz-charged "Last Kiss Goodbye," which was released in late May.
Reinhart's release comes at a celebratory time as the Chicago native just turned 28-years-old on Sunday. "Thank you for the warm-hearted & thoughtful messages! So many beautiful moments and projects have transpired this year," she captioned her birthday post on Instagram. "Timing has been on my side along with the universe! You can find me Nashville tonight, dancin' my booty off! I've already managed to drink way too much coffee, buy too many clothes at a vintage shop, hear @thebeatles & @therollingstones eeeeverywhere I go! Oh and record some DOPE new material."
"Don't Know How To Love You" is currently available for download on iTunes.

Q: Tools to be used for Image processing I'm Developing a CBIR (Content based Image Retrieval System) as part of my BE project.
Which of the below mentioned tools will be better to be used for image processing??
1-> Matlab
2-> Mathematica

I'm planning to develop this system using java as a front end of the system. which of above systems will be better. Or should I go for some 3rd party image processing API's available for java ????

A: I used Mathematica for years and still found it easier to learn Matlab from scratch in order to do an image processing project. The thing that makes Matlab better here is that many state-of-the-art image algorithms have code available. For instance, for content-based image retrieval you need to extract content features, and vl_sift library does that. Also, you can bundle your Matlab library to run as a stand-alone executable, and I don't know if that's possible with Mathematica.

A: I previously suggested ImageJ and others mentioned ImageMagick since I mentioned Java environment. However, I would like to change my suggestion. I came across Intel's OpenCV (Opensource Computer Vision) libraries. This is a great set of libraries for use with C, C++ and Python. This is cross platform too! So porting the code shouldn't be too difficult.
Why I think OpenCV is great is because even novices (like me) in Image Processing can use it. for example, smoothing an image is as easy as calling one function cvSmooth() with a few parameters on which type of smoothing (blur, gaussian etc). It supports much more advanced functions such as Optical flow and blob tracking. And the great thing is, its quick to test out or build simple image transforms.
for more info please go to http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ . Here you'll find cheatsheats, reference manuals, examples and some tips. great help and starting point.
Thanks

A: What are your criteria for measuring the relative superiority of programs for image processing ?  For example, if you are a Mathematica expert then you will find it easier to use Mathematica for the task.  On the other hand, if you are a penniless student then you will find Java and some of its libraries more to your taste.
EDIT: in answer to OP's comments ...
'ease of image processing' is entirely subjective -- if you don't know Mathematica then it will be difficult to use it for image processing -- so this one is your call.
'processing time' is entirely objective -- but do you have the time to try out all 3 of your suggested options and compare them ?  For a BE project you'll be far better using the tool you are most comfortable with and spending as little time as you can wrestling with an unfamiliar tool for the sake of a bit of extra speed.
'cellular automata' for image processing -- don't know how relevant it is, but Mathematica has inbuilt functionality for cellular automata.

A: I would look into the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick family (SO discussion), which has several Java wrappers (e.g., JMagick).

A: you could use ImageMagick or why not look into the JMF (Java Media Framework)

A: Matlab is the better of the two. It has huge built in libraries and implementations of thousands of algorithms. Its fast, easy and well documented.

The Journalist and the Victim
By Maurice Chammah
WRITERS OF NONFICTION crime stories, as opposed to their counterparts in fiction, face a very specific problem: how to write about victims. In a murder case, by definition, you can never interview the victim. Yet the problem here is broader. Victims, as people who didn't choose to undergo their horrific experience but nonetheless are here, living and breathing on the other side of it, can be difficult to render as fully believable characters.
Real people have flaws and failures and sinister impulses, so characters — fictional or not — need to have them, too, in order to feel authentic. But how dare you say not-nice things about someone who has been murdered, attacked, raped, or mugged? Victims' experiences give them a mandatory moral superiority, and it's difficult to make them three-dimensional without crossing a subtle line of decency. That line can be hard to find when you want to make a story believable, much less engaging. Sainthood, it turns out, is boring, and books about serial killers never spend much time on those they have killed.
In the days after September 11th, 2001, Mark Stroman visited three gas station stores in the Dallas area. He described himself as an "American terrorist" who would avenge the 9/11 attacks by murdering Arabs. None of the clerks he shot in the three stores were Arab. Vasudev Patel, from India, and Waqar Hasan, from Pakistan, died from gunshot wounds. A third victim, Rais Bhuiyan, recovered from severe facial injuries but suffered major financial problems and a severance from a fiancée in Bangladesh. Over 10 years, Stroman and Bhuiyan evolved on parallel tracks towards repentance and forgiveness. As the former neared execution, the latter campaigned for his assailant's life, arguing in part that he wanted to face Stroman directly and discuss what had transpired between them during the shooting.
Stroman and Bhuiyan's lives and their intersection are the subject of Anand Giridharadas's new book, The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas. Spanning a wide swath of time and space, from Bhuiyan's early life as a Bangladeshi Air Force officer to Stroman's final meal in Huntsville, Texas, Giridharadas has entered a broader trend in nonfiction writing: true crime books with a wider social meaning. Truman Capote never explicitly acknowledges issues of class in his landmark crime narrative In Cold Blood. Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song addresses the history of Mormonism, but focuses on the facts of the murderer Gary Gilmore's life. Those days are mostly over, and the trend now is to think about crimes' broader cultural implications, so we have Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven, about a murder among fundamentalist Mormons, Stephen Jimenez's The Book of Matt, on the murder of gay student Matthew Shepard, and several recent books about Kitty Genovese. Giridharadas has found a story that comes ready-made with themes of immigration, 9/11, Islam, economic opportunity, and bigotry. You can tell that he relishes the symbolic richness.
His first character, Rais Bhuiyan, emerges as the adventurous, ambitious immigrant. Feeling that there is little opportunity in his native Bangladesh, he comes to the United States with dreams of working with computers. He remains upbeat even as he must remain content working in convenience stores, an Olive Garden, and other menial jobs. Giridharadas closely describes Bhuiyan's small indignities and his outsider's view of American customs. A pious, non-drinking Muslim, Bhuiyan learns how to get the biggest tips at the Olive Garden by playing the wine expert.
These details are alternately charming and bittersweet, but for the most part Giridharadas relies on Bhuiyan the man to tell us about Bhuiyan the character. So even before he becomes a victim there is a side to him — the side the others see — that is not rendered in full color. The fiancée, who eventually left Bhuiyan, is not quoted here. It does not appear that the author traveled to Bangladesh. Bhuiyan, having skated so close to death, is particularly self-reflective. But no matter how self-reflective he may be, you might still wonder whether there is more to him than he is telling us.
All the while, Giridharadas slips commentary on his subject's shortcomings. After relating Bhuiyan's description of his "beautiful, friendly, romantic, talented, and religious-minded" fiancée in Bangladesh, Giridharadas notes how his subject "struggled to describe her with richer specificity" since "in his corner of the world, women were often characterized in this way, judged by their skills at blending and smoothing, not by how they stood out." Later on, when Bhuiyan is campaigning for Stroman's life, Giridharadas notes that he "had acquired something of the American hustler about him." So this is how he deals with the victim problem: instead of finding character flaws, Giridharadas stirs in his own brand of tepid cultural criticism.
Bhuiyan contrasts strongly with his attacker, who never leaves the Dallas area and has little curiosity about the wider world. We meet Mark Stroman as a young man, when he was hired to work at an auto body shop. "He had smoldering red hair and energetic eyes and ruddy, protruding cheeks and an easy, goofy charisma," Giridharadas writes. He was also someone who "took pride in being a run-of-the-mill guy with run-of-the-mill ideas and tastes."
Giridharadas never spoke to Stroman, so his task is to reconstruct this beguiling man's personality through his writings and interviews with family members, a former boss, and a filmmaker who became his confidante. While Bhuiyan is the only one telling us about Bhuiyan, it is everyone but Stroman who tells us about Stroman.
It's a conspicuous inversion of the usual situation, in which murder victims don't get a voice while the murderers freely give interviews. But without Stroman to account for himself, the true sources of his beliefs are guesswork and Giridharadas struggles to find what made Stroman different from others like him. He suggests that Stroman's ideas about the world, as recorded in the writings he left, were simple. "Stock phrases that affirmed his instincts," he writes, "stuck with him and became the basis of a philosophy." The conceit of much writing about crime is that while you can know everything about a murderer's past and how it led up to their act, the most aching question — Why? —remains in most cases unanswerable.
We read so much about crime in part because we're fascinated by the barrier that separates law-abiding citizens from killers. In the wake of a horrible murder, especially a mass-shooting or terrorist act, we search for biographical clues that might explain motivation. We're just as attracted by the stories that follow as we are repulsed. We excoriate the editors of Rolling Stone for putting the Boston marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the magazine's cover just as we devour the feature article on his early life underneath that cover. We want to understand why people do awful things so that we can better understand why we don't do the same.
Stroman is an interesting murderer for the same reason Jack Ruby, who shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the days after the Kennedy assassination, was an interesting murderer. The explanation he gave for shooting the gas station clerks is something many Americans can easily identify with. Stroman may have been misguided in targeting South Asians with his post-9/11 revenge fantasy, but the celebrations that followed Osama Bin Laden's killing by US commandos made it clear that plenty of people harbored a need for vengeance. "It's just boiling up and boiling up," Stroman told a friend, "and I just snapped."
The shocking nature of what he did sits uneasily with the fact that he expected others to do the same and they didn't. While 9/11 revenge crimes were rare, that same sense of victimhood certainly played a role in the buildup to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. And Stroman wasn't alone in thinking there were forces greater than himself. Bhuiyan was terrified when it came time for him to testify at Stroman's trial because he thought there were others out there who would surely kill him once and for all in the courtroom. These are reminders — albeit extreme ones — that there's little more truly American these days than paranoia.
Both Bhuiyan and Stroman got over their paranoia. Bhuiyan decided to get in touch with Stroman after a pilgrimage to Mecca. Stroman, with an isolating expanse of time on death row, discovered a certain hard-boiled wisdom and produced voluminous writings in which "the years wore him down" and "he sounded more like a high-school-newspaper editor or a professor who thinks himself a contrarian." Stroman started corresponding with anti-death penalty pen pals around the world. He gave multiple interviews to the Israeli filmmaker Ilan Ziv, a former soldier who had become a peacenik and wanted to understand the roots of hatred. In these venues, he shed his racism and described a personal redemption in which he realized the faults of his earlier ideas about the world.
Where Bhuiyan's transformation into a forgiving victim was clear and unchallenged, Stroman had plenty of critics who suspected his motivations. His own sisters "thought Mark had figured out what these kindly liberals helping him wanted to hear." Giridharadas shows the multiple ways Stroman's words could be interpreted and how those interpretations said more about Stroman's audience than about him.
Eventually, though, I found myself thinking that these interpretations said the most about Giridharadas, the author. For all of his meticulous reporting and richly crafted prose, he fills out his characters with commentary, suggesting with varying degrees of subtlety the ways they fail to live up to some invisible standard of savvy-ness or cosmopolitanism. Bhuiyan traveled to Mecca and became forgiving and generous, but now he is a hustler. Stroman lost his radical xenophobia, but now he sounds like a "high-school-newspaper editor," which seems like a nice way of avoiding a more direct word: "sophomoric" or just "simple-minded." So much about Stroman and Bhuiyan's experiences should be impossible to truly imagine and spark some humility, and yet Giridharadas always seems to find something to pick on.
Luckily, these jabs cannot reduce the tension of the story's climax. The pace picks up as the execution nears. Bhuiyan wages a battle for Stroman's life that looks increasingly futile. We know that Stroman will die. And then the day comes. There is no way for them to meet in person, so they can only speak by phone. Giridharadas reports what they said to each other, but the words don't read as much more than platitudes. You need only to imagine what they felt before, during, and after their interaction to feel a sense of awe at how far each had come, how little and how much each had to say to the other. In that moment, both men become real. So real, in fact, that they can't be made into characters.

Home Handguns Concealed Carry Wisconsin Will Honor CCW Permits of 25 Other States
Wisconsin Will Honor CCW Permits of 25 Other States
Dave Workman
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has announced that it will recognize concealed carry permits and licenses from 25 states, and Washington's is among them.
According to the Capital Times in Madison, the Evergreen State license meets the Badger State's criteria, based on "background checks that are comparable to those required under Wisconsin's law." That law takes effect on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
Those states include: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.—Capital Times
Overshadowing this looming event is a trial that opened Monday in Milwaukee involving a Wisconsin gun rights activist who killed one man and left another one paralyzed in a controversial shooting in May 2010 that has nothing to do with concealed carry. Jesus Gonzalez wasn't packing a concealed handgun; he was carrying openly when his confrontation unfolded with Danny John, 29, and his nephew, Jered Corn, 22.
The pair had just left a tavern near Gonzalez' home and neither was armed. Gonzalez immediately called police to report the shooting, insisting that he had defended himself against an assault. Corn's version is considerably different.
State vs. Jesus Gonzalez may prove to be the best evidence for either side of the gun rights debate: Did Gonzalez save his own life because he carried a gun, or did he kill one man and paralyze another because deadly force was readily available at his hip?—Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Read more

In the ongoing case of a teacher killed after a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer drove into him, the NYPD is refusing to release records pertaining to the incident.

The 61-year-old was crossing the street when he was struck by a marked police van and thrown onto the pavement. He later died from severe head injuries, and his family is currently suing the NYPD, New York City, and the officer who was driving.

DOT Taking Measures to Resolve Traffic Problems in Flushing
On behalf of Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP posted in Hazardous Conditions on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.
The DOT is taking measures to resolve the traffic problems that have plagued Flushing for years, making it a dangerous area to motorists and pedestrians alike. After work commenced about a year ago on a mixed use project known as the Flushing Commons, bus routes were changed and traffic increased giving rise to more congestion issues. Although a pedestrian walkway was implemented, it was not enough to resolve all of the long standing issues affecting traffic in the area. DOT has become more proactive in addressing the complaints regarding the area and has placed NYPD traffic enforcement agents at busy intersections.

"Vision Zero Great Streets" Aims to Make City Streets Safer for Pedestrians
On behalf of Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Tuesday, March 10, 2015.
Mayor de Blasio announced his "Great Streets" initiative program at a City Council transportation committee budget hearing on Thursday, March 5. As part of the "Vision Zero" project, the program will spend $250 million on making some of the city's most dangerous streets safer for pedestrian traffic. Improvements will be made to the Grand Concourse, Atlantic Avenue, Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn, and Queens Boulevard. Between 2009 and 2013, there were 34 fatalities and 215 serious injuries as a result of the dangerous conditions found on these four roadways. The De Blasio administration believes that increasing space for pedestrian traffic and cyclists will reduce such tragedies in the future.

Will de Blasio's Vision Zero cut down NYC cabbies' car accidents?
On behalf of Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP posted in Car Accidents on Monday, February 3, 2014.
The New York Post recently reported a shocking fact: over the past five years in New York City, at least 21 taxi drivers had accidents that injured or killed pedestrians and bikers, but only one was ever charged with a crime. That, along with a long string of fatal accidents in our city, prompted Mayor Bill de Blasio to call for a new initiative called "Vision Zero." Additional surveillance equipment, more traffic cops and a new, specially trained accident investigation team are planned for a unified effort at reducing traffic fatalities to zero.

Chemistry degrees to be reintroduced at Swansea
By Paul MacLellan2016-05-05T00:00:00+01:00
The university will offer chemistry to undergraduates for the first time since 2004
Source: © iStock
Swansea University will reintroduce chemistry degrees from 2017 due to growing demand. It will be the first time in 12 years that chemistry has been available to students at the Welsh university. Vice-chancellor Richard Davies described the move as 'a sign of our progress, confidence and ambition at Swansea University.'
The new department of chemistry will be based in the university's college of science and will launch with new, purpose-built teaching laboratories. 'The new multimillion pound chemistry department will create a state-of-the-art teaching and research facility,' says Steve Wilks, pro-vice-chancellor for science and engineering. 'Our students will have access to excellent labs and a modern syllabus.'
Both BSc and MChem programmes will be available to students from next year.
Chemistry degrees were withdrawn at Swansea University in 2004. At the time, demand among students for degrees in science and technology had fallen.
The move now comes after a national increase in popularity for undergraduate chemistry courses – chemistry degree enrollment is up 4% in the last two years. 'The university has changed and the world has changed since 2004,' says Richard. 'Swansea University is in a far stronger position [and] we are now in the top 25 universities for research in the UK.'
The university made the decision to offer chemistry degrees after discussions with the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). Robert Parker, chief executive of the RSC, said: 'It is hugely encouraging to see chemistry returning to Swansea. This decision recognises that in a complex and changing world, chemistry and the chemical sciences are vital for life and will play a huge role in helping societies face some of their biggest challenges. At the RSC, we are committed to advancing professional standards in chemistry and we look forward to working with the university on supporting students and staff with their career development.'

The Volksbühne ("People's Theatre") is a theater in Berlin, Germany. Located in Berlin's city center Mitte on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz (Rosa Luxemburg Square) in what was the GDR's capital.
The Volksbühne was built during the years 1913 to 1914 and was designed by Oskar Kaufmann, with integrated sculpture by Franz Metzner. It has its origin in an organization known as the "Freie Volksbühne" ("Free People's Theater") which sketched out the vision for a theater "of the people" in 1892. The goal of the organization was to promote the social-realist plays of the day at prices accessible to the common worker. The original slogan inscribed on the edifice was "Die Kunst dem Volke" ("Art to the people").
During World War II, the theatre was heavily damaged like much of the rest of Berlin. From 1950 to 1954, it was rebuilt according to the design of architect Hans Richter. Directed by Frank Castorf since 1992, the theater was named the most exciting stage in Germany ("aufregendste Bühne Deutschlands"), attracting much press attention and establishing a reputation as one of the most provocative and experimental major theaters in contemporary Germany.

Juan Carlos Osorio Arbeláez (ur. 8 czerwca 1961 w Santa Rosa de Cabal) – kolumbijski piłkarz i trener piłkarski.

Osorio urodził się w kolumbijskim mieście Santa Rosa de Cabal, położonym w departamencie Risaralda. Podczas kariery piłkarskiej występował na pozycji obrońcy w zespole Deportivo Pereira z siedzibą w Pereirze, leżącej nieopodal jego rodzinnego Santa Rosa.

W późniejszym czasie Osorio wyemigrował do Stanów Zjednoczonych, gdzie w 1990 ukończył naukę na Southern Connecticut State University. W latach 1998–1999 pracował jako asystent trenera w drugoligowym klubie piłkarskim Staten Island Vipers. Po rozwiązaniu zespołu dołączył do sztabu szkoleniowego występującej w Major League Soccer drużyny MetroStars z siedzibą w Nowym Jorku, gdzie pełnił funkcję asystenta ekwadorskiego szkoleniowca Octavio Zambrano. W 2000 roku zajął z MetroStars pierwsze miejsce w rozgrywkach wschodniej konferencji MLS.

W czerwcu 2001 Osorio został ściągnięty przez Kevina Keegana do angielskiego Manchesteru City. W nowym klubie objął posadę trenera przygotowania fizycznego i asystenta. Podczas pięcioletniego pobytu w Anglii uzyskał dyplom uczelni Liverpool John Moores University, nadaną przez The Football Association licencję UEFA "A", a także certyfikat trenerski KNVB.

W 2006 Osorio rozpoczął samodzielną pracę trenerską, obejmując funkcję szkoleniowca kolumbijskiego klubu Millonarios FC z siedzibą w stołecznej Bogocie. W sumarycznej tabeli rozgrywek ligowych 2006 zajął z nim piątą pozycję, kwalifikując się do turnieju Copa Sudamericana 2007. Trenerem Millonarios był do ostatniej kolejki sezonu Apertura 2007, który zespół zakończył na czwartym miejscu.

Latem 2007 Osorio został zatrudniony w amerykańskiej drużynie Chicago Fire, zajmującej na półmetku sezonu ostatnie miejsce w łącznej tabeli Major League Soccer. Kolumbijczyk zdołał poprowadzić zespół do siódmego, premiowanego udziałem w play-offach. Tam odpadł po przegranym 0:1 spotkaniu w finale konferencji wschodniej z New England Revolution. Po kilku miesiącach pracy, 10 grudnia 2007, zrezygnował ze stanowiska z powodów osobistych i został zastąpiony przez Kostarykanina Denisa Hamletta.

Już parę dni później, 18 grudnia, podpisał umowę ze swoim byłym nowojorskim klubem, występującym pod nazwą New York Red Bulls. Zespoły Chicago Fire i Red Bulls porozumiały się w kwestii odszkodowania za zatrudnienie szkoleniowca. W swoim pierwszym sezonie w drużynie, 2008, wywalczył mistrzostwo konferencji zachodniej (w decydującym meczu 1:0 z Real Salt Lake), po czym w finale Major League Soccer, MLS Cup, przegrał 1:3 z Columbus Crew, zapewniając sobie tytuł wicemistrza kraju. W kolejnych rozgrywkach, 2009, Osorio osiągnął w Red Bulls jeden z najgorszych wyników w historii ligi MLS, notując dwa zwycięstwa, cztery remisy i czternaście porażek. Także w Lidze Mistrzów CONCACAF 2009/2010 został wyeliminowany już w rundzie wstępnej przez trynidadzki zespół W Connection. Zrezygnował z pracy jeszcze przed zakończeniem sezonu, 21 sierpnia 2009.

Wiosną 2010 Osorio powrócił do ojczyzny, gdzie objął drużynę Once Caldas. W jesiennych rozgrywkach Finalización 2010 wywalczył z nią mistrzostwo Kolumbii, pokonując w dwumeczu finałowym Deportes Tolima łącznym wynikiem 4:3 (1:2, 3:1). Zapewniło to zespołowi z miasta Manizales udział w Copa Libertadores 2011, gdzie odpadł on po przegranych ćwierćfinałach z brazylijskim Santosem FC. 2 lutego 2011 Osorio został oficjalnie mianowany nowym selekcjonerem reprezentacji Hondurasu, jednak zgody na nową pracę szkoleniowca nie wyraził zarząd klubu Once Caldas, z którym obowiązywał go kontrakt do grudnia 2011.

13 listopada 2011 ogłoszono podpisanie przez 50-letniego Kolumbijczyka umowy z meksykańską drużyną Puebla FC, która zaczęła obowiązywać od stycznia 2012. W nowym klubie Osorio zastąpił Sergio Bueno, natomiast jego asystentem został Joel Sánchez. W grudniu 2011 był jednym z głównych kandydatów na przejęcie funkcji selekcjonera reprezentacji Kolumbii, po zwolnieniu z tego stanowiska Leonela Álvareza. W marcu 2012 zrezygnował z pracy w Puebli po odniesieniu z tą drużyną dwóch zwycięstw, dwóch remisów i siedmiu porażek w jedenastu spotkaniach.

W maju 2012 powrócił do ojczyzny, zostając trenerem Atlético Nacional z siedzibą w mieście Medellín. W maju 2015 roku został zakontraktowany przez brazylijskie São Paulo FC, a jego oficjalny debiut miał miejsce 6 czerwca 2015 w domowym meczu przeciwko Grêmio (wygrana 2-0). W październiku 2015 został selekcjonerem reprezentacji Meksyku.

How to Become a Medical Marijuana Distributor
David Thyberg
FatCamera/E+/GettyImages
Opponents of marijuana argue that legitimizing the pot industry will lead to increases in abuse of the substance, yet statistics shows that during the 10-year period following California's 1996 legalization of medicinal marijuana, teen usage declined between 25 percent and 50 percent statewide, according to writer Christina Davidson of the Atlantic. Public support for legal marijuana distribution continues to grow, as evidenced by the rapidly growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries operating within the confines of state legal systems throughout the country. Dispensaries provide doctor-approved patients with natural products to help their conditions. Even so, becoming a medical marijuana distributor remains a risky enterprise. Entrepreneurs must be extremely vigilant and cautious when opening a dispensary business.
Preliminary Steps
Assemble the necessary financial capital to launch the dispensary and develop a detailed business plan addressing all aspects of the venture. According to the Law Offices of Jacek W. Lentz, one of the key decisions at the outset will be whether the business model will center around a pharmacy-style dispensary devoted exclusively to the sale of medical marijuana, or if it will take the form of a growers' collective or a full-service collective offering additional services to member patients.
Determine the best location for the business. States like California and Colorado have especially liberal policies when it comes to medical marijuana distributors, and a handful of other states also feature legal avenues for the sale of this substance as a medicinal product. Thoroughly research state, county and city laws relating to medical marijuana to find the location that will be most receptive to such a business. Pay special attention to local ordinances and bans as well as potentially sensitive local establishments like schools, churches and public parks that could impede the business from developing. Sign a lease for the commercial property that will be used as an official storefront after finding a suitable location. This must take place before you can obtain any permits.
Get an official script from a doctor authorizing your possession of marijuana. TheWeedBusiness.com and MadeMan.com both recommend that dispensary owners take the time to become registered "Cannabis Club" patients as a safety measure which will help provide added protection from future prosecution or other legal pitfalls.
Incorporate the business. Come up with an official name and register the company as a non-profit collective. This will involve the establishment of a board of directors and the filing of articles of incorporation. Hire an experienced lawyer to make sure the paperwork is in order so there are no loose ends in terms of liability.
Obtain the necessary licenses and permits to open the business. Licensing requirements vary from state to state and county to county, so be prepared to deal with a lot of bureaucratic processes and red tape. Meet with relevant officials and government agencies to discuss local laws and required paperwork, and don't forget to make arrangements for all applicable tax payments.
Make the dispensary operational after successfully going through all the legal hurdles. Create a membership system that will keep accurate records of all clients. Have new members sign waivers to protect the business from any liabilities that may result from their activity with marijuana.
Set up security equipment in and around the dispensary. Monitor the interior of the store as well as the parking lot and the street area out front and in back of the building with video cameras to protect the business from theft, vandalism, raids and other such threats.
Hire staff members. Select knowledgeable applicants with experience in the marijuana industry and demonstrated trustworthiness. Make a list of all the staff positions to be filled, including sales clerks, inventory stock workers and security guards.
Advertise the dispensary to attract clients and begin to sell products. Consider posting ads in local newspapers, Internet web-pages, doctors' offices and other outlets.
Work to create a positive relationship with the community surrounding the dispensary. Keep clients under control and make attempts to forge ties with other local business owners and residents. Run the business as a responsible and non-imposing enterprise to reduce the risk of community outcry and other negative effects.
Remember that marijuana is still an illegal substance under federal law. The sale and possession of marijuana is still very risky, even for those who seek to run legal dispensaries which satisfy state ordinances. The The Law Offices of Jacek W. Lentz reminds marijuana entrepreneurs to keep legal counsel at all times and proceed with extreme caution.

Chapter 14 - Let the Director Become A Little Clear-Headed (2)
Chapter 14 – Let the Director Become A Little Clear-Headed (2)
She looked at Mama Xu, finding her pleasing to her eyes. Luckily, the original owner was actually very picky with her food and actually tried to fire mama Xu.
This is simply food of immortals, how could the original owner bear to part with it!?
Mama Xu absentmindedly wiped the grease from the steamed bun's mouth.
And the steamed bun also sitting next to Yu Yaoyao, looked at his mother. His small eyes were looking at her in amazement, with the hint of reverence.
Mom, is it really that delicious? Why are you eating so fast? He could only wonder.
He decisively took his fork, stuffed it with chicken noodles, and ate all the shredded carrots he didn't like to eat before.
Soon, his little bowl was clean.
"Oh, our baby has a good appetite today. Keep it up!"
The steamed bun immediately bowed his head shyly. In the next second, he slid down the stool, wore his slippers and fled hastily from the room.
Yu Yaoyao: …
Is she that scary?
As soon as the steamed bun left, the white, fat man, who had been waiting by the side for some time, anxiously jumped to his feet and came up to her with tears in her eyes.
"Sister, what's going on?"
He rambled, "I just went on vacation. How could you almost kill yourself and have an affair? A journalist sent me a private message with hard evidence telling me you had an affair? Is it true?"
The room was clearly air-conditioned, but the white, fat man's forehead was sweating all over and was busily wiping it off with a tissue.
He was dressed in a pullover and on the middle of his shirt, one could see a dark sweat stain forming.
Yu Yaoyao squinted her eyes—this was the original owner's manager, Ni Yi.
This person wasn't bad, only, their agency didn't have many resources at hand. Therefore, they had been stuck at the bottom of the entertainment industry for several years now.
He has the disposition of an anxious mother: fat, worrisome, easily excited, sometimes angry, and when he was anxious, he was always covered in sweat.
During her pregnancy, he became the manager of two other celebrities from the internet. But one was an irate person and the other had no talent. It was a mess and in the end, they had all been canceled.
This time Yu Yaoyao was involved in another scandal, and he was truly in a hurry to settle things. Even if she is currently only a third-rate celebrity with poor acting skills, shooting TV shows with less than 5-star ratings, this was all right!
A cheating scandal was easier to diffuse.
"Sister, if you do that again, I'm really going to get fired!" Ni Yi wanted to cry.
He glanced at Mama Xu in the kitchen and lowered his voice. "The reporter asked for $5 million in exchange and he promised not to expose you."
Yu Yaoyao laughed and said, "Who's afraid? We won't give it!"
"What are you being so fearless for? Sister, the auditions I got for you are all going to be canceled! We'll be done for!"
The curving corners of Yu Yaoyao's mouth stiffened in an instant. She searched for the memories of the original owner and immediately found that there were several plays she had auditioned for, and one was scheduled this week.
"There is also the scheduled role for the 'Golden Age Empress' and Director Li Bo had gone back on his word."
"What?!" Yu Yaoyao's present situation was bad!
Her biggest dream was to act.
Now that she had finally transmigrated into the body of a small celebrity, how come all of her projects are slipping through her fingers one by one?
The original owner couldn't act for medical reasons, but she's out of the hospital now!
"I didn't kill myself. I just clarified that on Weibo. Didn't you see that, Little Yiyi?"

Blake Shelton Talks Split From Miranda Lambert: "This Year's Gonna Be Awkward at the CMAs"
By Rachel McRady
Telling it like it is! Blake Shelton had no problem addressing his anxiety over the upcoming CMA Awards during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. The Voice coach, 39, who divorced his wife of four years, Miranda Lambert, this summer, is prepared for some uncomfortable jokes when the CMAs air on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Click here to see pics of Blake and Miranda before the split.
PHOTOS: Blake and Miranda, the way they were
"This year's gonna be awkward at the CMAs, speaking of jokes," Shelton told Meyers. "Because we are, it's such a family. Everybody there is friends. There's gotta be one about me and Miranda. [Host] Brad Paisley is not doing his job if he doesn't look down there and go 'Ha ha!' You have to address the elephant in the room. We've had the conversations like, 'Okay, dude. I'll sit there and let you kick me in the face a few times.' I know it's coming."

But the "Honey Bee" singer, who has remained amicable with his ex on social media, is focused on his work on The Voice. The team recently brought on Rihanna as a celebrity mentor, and Shelton, whom Us Weekly has already reported is flirting up a storm with fellow judge Gwen Stefani, noted that he was trying to catch the attention of the "FourFiveSeconds" singer.

"She's such a smart-ass," he said of Rihanna. "I never could get the upper hand with her. I was trying to get her to be a bit flirty, I mean, why not? I'm a perfect match for Rihanna. And so I was coming up with our couple name 'Blihanna' was one of them and 'Rake.'"


Some great Hiking, some skiing, some beautiful scenes and a cool environment that's what Kufri is all about. It is famous for its trekking and hiking trails.

The region around Shimla including Kufri was once a part of the Kingdom of Nepal. This region remained obscure from the rest of the world until the British 'discovered' it in 1819. The British made Shimla their summer capital in 1864 and it remained so until 1939. As Shimla gained importance, Kufri also began to be recognized as an important place to visit near Shimla.
One can hike through thick forest around Kufri to the Mahasu Peak- the highest peak in Kufri.
The Indira Tourist Park is near the Himalayan Nature Park and provides panoramic view of the locations around.
Kufri does not have an airport or a railway station. However, regular buses ply from Shimla, Narkanda, and Rampur to Kufri. Travelers can also hire taxis from Shimla to reach Kufri. The area around Kufri can be explored on horseback.
