Simple method of binding pollutants in water with nanoadsorbers
(Nanowerk News) New types of membrane adsorbers remove unwanted particles from water and also, at the same time, dissolved substances such as the hormonally active bis-phenol A or toxic lead. To do this, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB imbed selective adsorber particles in filtration membranes.
It was not until January 2015 that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) lowered the threshold value for bisphenol A in packaging. The hormonally active bulk chemical is among other things a basic material for polycarbonate from which, for example, CDs, plastic tableware or spectacles glasses are manufactured. Due to its chemical structure, bisphenol A is not completely degraded in the biological stages of treatment plants and is discharged into rivers and lakes by the purification facility.
Activated carbon or adsorber materials are already used to remove chemicals, anti-biotics or heavy metals from waste or process water. However, a disadvantage of these highly porous materials is the long contact time that the pollutants require to diffuse into the pores. So that as many of the harmful substances as possible are captured even in a shorter time, the treatment plants use larger quantities of adsorbers in correspondingly large treatment basins. However, activated carbon can only be regenerated with a high energy input, resulting for the most part in the need to dispose of large quantities of material contaminated with pollutants.
Also, membrane filtration with nanofiltration or reverse osmosis membranes, which can remove the contaminating substances, is not yet cost-effective for the removal of dissolved molecules from high-volume flows such as process or wastewater. Membranes filter the water through their pores when a pressure is built up on one side of the membrane, thus holding back larger molecules and solid particles. But the smaller the membrane pores are, the higher the pressure – and therefore the more energy – that is required to separate the substances from water.
Membrane adsorbers – filtering and binding in one step
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart have opted for a new approach that combines the advantages of both methods. When manufacturing the membranes they add small, polymeric adsorber particles. The resulting membrane adsorbers can – in addition to their filtration function – adsorptively bind substances dissolved in water ("Nanostructured Composite Adsorber Membranes for the Reduction of Trace Substances in Water: The Example of Bisphenol A").
"We make use of the porous structure of the membrane located underneath the separation layer. The pores have a highly specific surface so that as many particles as possible can be imbedded, and they also provide optimum accessibility," says Dr. Thomas Schiestel, Head of the "Inorganic Interfaces and Membranes" working group at the Fraunhofer IGB.
Membrane adsorber
"Unlike conventional adsorbers, our membrane adsorbers transport the pollutants convectively. This means that, with the water flowing rapidly through the membrane pores, a contact time lasting only a few seconds is sufficient to adsorb pollutants on the particle surface," says the scientist. Up to 40 percent of the weight of the membrane adsorbers is accounted for by the particles, so their binding capacity is correspondingly high. At the same time the membrane adsorbers can be operated at low pressures. As the membranes can be packed very tightly, very large volumes of water can be treated even with small devices.
Functional adsorber particles
The researchers manufacture the adsorber particles in a one-step, cost-efficient process. In this patented process monomeric components are polymerized with the help of a crosslinking agent to generate 50 to 500 nanometer polymer globules. "Depending on which substances are to be removed from the water, we select the most suitable one from a variety of monomers with differing functional groups," Schiestel explains. The spectrum here ranges from pyridine, which tends to be hydrophobic, by way of cationic ammonium compounds and includes anionic phosphonates.
Selective removal of pollutants and metals
The researchers were able to show in various tests that the membrane adsorbers remove pollutants very selectively by means of the particles, which are customized for the particular contaminant in question. For example, membrane adsorbers with pyridine groups bind the hydrophobic bisphenol A especially well, whereas those with amino groups adsorb the negatively charged salt of the antibiotic penicillin G.
"The various adsorber particles can even be combined in one membrane. In this way we can remove several micropollutants simultaneously with just one membrane adsorber," says Schiestel, pointing out a further advantage. Equipped with different functional groups, the membrane adsorbers can also remove toxic heavy metals such as lead or arsenic from the water. Phosphonate membrane adsorbers, for example, adsorb more than 5 grams of lead per square meter of membrane surface area – 40 percent more than a commercially available membrane adsorber.
Cost-effective and regenerable
So that the membrane adsorbers can be used several times, the adsorbed pollutants have to be detached once again from the particles in the membrane. "Membrane adsorbers for bisphenol A can be fully regenerated by a shift of the pH value," Schiestel explains. The concentrated pollutants can then be disposed off cost-effectively or broken down using suitable oxidative processes.
The regenerability of the membrane adsorbers also makes possible a further application: reutilization of the separated molecules. This additionally makes the technology attractive for recovering valuable precious metals or rare earth metals.

Canadian court grants bail to Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou who faces extradition to US
The court's decision comes after a former Canadian diplomat was detained in China.
Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou | Reuters
A Canadian court on Tuesday granted bail to Huawei's global Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou 10 days after she was arrested at the Vancouver airport at the request of United States authorities, reported Reuters. The court's decision came amid pressure from China for her release and hours after a former Canadian diplomat was detained in China.
Meng faces fraud charges in the US for allegedly covering up her company's links to a firm that tried to sell equipment to Iran despite sanctions. Meng will now await her extradition hearing. If a judge in Canada rules the case against Meng is strong enough, the country's justice minister must decide whether to extradite her to the US.
The court in Vancouver granted her bail for 10 million Canadian dollars (Rs 53.85 crore), asked her to surrender her passports and wear an ankle monitor.
"We have every confidence that the Canadian and US legal systems will reach a just conclusion in the following proceedings," Huawei said in a statement after the bail hearing, reported CNBC. "As we have stressed all along, Huawei complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries and regions where we operate, including export control and sanction laws of the UN [United Nations], US and EU [European Union]."
Meng's arrest has led to further strains in relations between the US and China amid the ongoing trade war. US President Donald Trump had told Reuters on Tuesday that he would intervene in the US Justice Department's case against Meng if it would serve national security interests or help close a trade deal with China.

After Apple released the first iMac almost 20 years ago from August 1998, Steve Jobs pictured it as the Apple computer for the every person -- using a playful design, free of any floppy discs or CD trays. And, ultimately, the iMac 2017 is nearer than ever into the Steve Jobs' original vision.
We'd not call the iMac 2017 that a 'cheap device', but that does not stop it from becoming just one of the finest Macs from a sheer value standpoint -- and it is going to remain that way, because the iMac 2019 starts at a greater cost. You won't find any CD drives, but you will still need to take care of a mechanical hard disk. But, lately Apple seems to be dumping hard drives in favor of SSDs, so that makes us hopeful for the long term.
Of course, you can not actually speak about the iMac without speaking about peripherals. The Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 seamlessly sync with the iMac. It actually is a great all-purpose PC, which in and of itself makes it one of the very persuasive computers available on the industry right now.
Therefore, while the new iMac does not radically alter the formulation, we are not complaining. The pure simplicity of the iMac's design speech goes , especially if paired with the 7th-generation Intel Kaby Lake desktop processors.
The iMac's price starts at a mere $1,099 (£1,049, AU$1,599), which will comprise the Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard from the box. That's $178 (£178, AU$248) for only the accessories .
Of course, you are getting a 21.5-inch iMac using a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display and Intel Iris Plus 640 graphics, that can be incorporated into the 7th-generation, dual-core 2.3GHZ Intel Core i5 processor, but it is a commendable worth all of the same.
As you can see in the spec sheet, the iMac we had been sent for review is a step up from the entry-level model in each respect, save for the hard disk, and also for another 200 dollars at $1,299 (£1,249, AU$1,899).
From there, it is possible to configure the iMac but you need, which makes it as powerful or affordable as the heart desires. Do you have to live out your creative dreams through different graphics? Done, with AMD RAdeon Pro 560 graphics. Do you want more RAM to run professional applications and more than 3 Chrome tabs? Have at it, and also configure the iMac up to 32GB of RAM.
You may even bump the display up, and choose to an iMac 27-inch with almost the very same components as the iMac we reviewed , however using Radeon Pro 570 graphics for $1,799 (£1,749, AU$2,699).
In case that's not enough, we would have to recommend that you have a look at the iMac Pro, coming in at $4,999 (£4,899, AU$7,299), it is an extravagant buy for most people, however the prospect of around 18 cores of raw electricity ought to be quite enticing to the professional or electricity users out there.
The iMac's price falls based on other high-end all-in-one PCs out there, especially the iMac's chief competition from the first Surface Studio at $2,999 (£2,999, AU$4,699) -- although it has been replaced with the more expensive Surface Studio 2. You will have the ability to find more affordable all-in-one desktops out there, however they will not be this well-built or add components as strong since the iMac's.
In case you're looking for a much more budget-friendly option, and you already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse lying about, you might go with the Mac Mini at $799 (£799, AU$1,249) for equal capability to the entry iMac. However, it does not include some of the accessories that the iMac boasts.
You will have the ability to detect all of the 2017 iMacs via Apple's website , or other retailers such as Amazon.
The iMac does not look or feel radically different than previous iMac models. That's not always a bad thing, since this brushed aluminum round is something to see. But following a couple of design options -- not to mention its general design in the face of new opponents -- give us a bit of pause.
That iMac shape remains iconic, however -- there's a reason that it has become a staple of offices, home and otherwise, in TV and movies for years. The iMac's straightforward yet tasteful appearance manages to be both striking and avoids getting in the way when working.
Then, of course, there's the seemingly hopeless thinness of the iMac, thinking about how much is packed to the display portion of the computer (i.e. literally all ).
On the other hand, the iMac is competing with Microsoft's Surface Studio lineup, therefore we can not ignore exactly how much slimmer and more striking the iMac may be if Apple simply leveraged exactly what it is heard from developing Mac Mini computers toward crafting a iMac foundation that retains all the computer's guts and ports.
Looking at the Surface Studio at the TechTnet office and then back in the hottest iMac, it is honestly baffling that Apple did not beat Microsoft to that punch years ago.
Regardless of this, Apple was able to cram all of the ports you could ever need or want out of an all-in-one computer to the rear of this iMac, so kudos.
Further to the point, Apple's pursuit of complete thinness despite cramming all of the iMac's innards behind the display has just resulted in enduring audio. A total of 2 stereo speakers remainder within either side of the iMac's bottom-most border and, even while they deliver remarkable quantity, as a result the narrow chambers deliver highs and mids no greater than your typical Ultrabook can.
That's not uncommon to get a device that takes as much distance as an all-purpose does -- regardless of how incredibly sparse it is.
However, we must chat about the Magic Mouse 2 -- it requires a revamp. It clicks and monitors amazingly, as you would expect from the company that inspired everybody to upward their input game years ago. On the other hand, the simple fact that you can not control the mouse whilst using it, because of where the Lightning charging port is situated, makes no sense.
Providentially, the iMac's comprised Magic Keyboard 2 is only beautiful to type on, and also the days long battery lifetime of both input devices are a significant plus -- believing that do not have any other option but to buy old wired models, if you are not into wireless peripherals.
Because macOS Mojave is harmonious harmonious with the vast majority of ordinary benchmarks that we run at TechTnet, it is difficult to compare the Apple iMac from the Windows 10-based all round PCs we have reviewed in a detailed way.
That said, it is apparent from the evaluations that this iMac benefits quite a bit from its 7th-generation (Kaby Lake) Intel Core i5 processor over the Surface Studio's quickly-aging, 6th-generation chip.
By way of example, the Apple iMac shows stronger single-core performance within the Surface Studio in addition to moderately higher multi-core performance in Geekbench. Nonetheless, the Surface Studio will have a more powerful GPU using more memory, which shows from the numbers -- the Microsoft onscreen scores 20 fps faster in Cinebench compared to the iMac, despite the elderly processor.
Keep your new Mac secure with the very best Mac VPN
At any rate, we locate the most recent iMac for a powerful performer regardless. It handles our typical workloads of dozens of Google Chrome tabs along with the Slack chat customer -- both RAM and processor-hungry apps -- effortlessly, and may probably take on a little more. While we didn't bear witness to the spinning beachball more instances than we would like from a newly-opened Mac, it did not appear frequently enough to the purpose of it outright being a detraction. (Regardless of how new your computer is, it is not resistant to the spinning wheel irrespective of colour or shape.)
Our main takeaway from utilizing the hottest iMac is its only stunning display. Seriously, if you're able to swing it, then spring to the mid sized 21.5-inch model, because that 4x leap in pixel density -- and also the much better graphics tech behind it is well worthwhile.
Photos look impressive about the iMac's panel and are colored, as a result of the P3 color gamut. That's an important thing, because that improved colour reproduction affects all endings of the machine, irrespective of the resolution of the material you are viewing. Even videos in 1080p look drastically improved thanks to P3. Regrettably, that has made going back to our typical 1080p screens with RGB colour a sobering experience.
General assessment
The iMac 2017 is a nice update to Apple's all-in-one computing platform. For the money, at least to the 21.5-inch model, you are getting a gorgeous machine that's more than capable of tackling each task you throw at it from web surfing to photo editing.
That said, nothing is different (for extended) at a vacuum. We can not dismiss that the iMac seems to have dropped behind the tendencies of modern all around computers, namely people spearheaded by Microsoft's Surface Studio. Plus, we are not fans of the audio performance and, even although the Magic Mouse 2 is a fantastic mouse to use, the simple fact that it can not be used while charging is an oversight.
At any rate, those seeking a 4K-ready -- or perhaps 1080p -- all-purpose that's as strong as it's aesthetic will find what they're looking for in the iMac 2017. Despite some minor problems and an arguably outdated design, the normal Mac fan (or prospective fan) will discover lots to love about another iconic Apple computer.
Here's how the Apple iMac 2017 performed in our suite of benchmark tests:
Cinebench CPU: 545 points; Graphics: 81 fps
Geekbench 4 Single-Core: 4,648; Multi-Core: 13,366

Cable rates are unregulated in communities that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) deems to have effective competition and in communities that have not requested rate regulation.
The Department regulates rates only in those communities that have requested rate regulation. While Massachusetts law and regulation provide that the Department may regulate rates for a municipality "upon its own motion," the Department's longstanding practice is to exercise its authority upon a municipality's request to do so. As of 2015, 18 municipalities had not requested rate regulation.

White House memo: Kelly orders West Wing staff no personal phones, no smart watches
Posted on: January 10th, 2018	by ABC News	No Comments
Vacclav/iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — With an eye on bolstering cyber security protocols and cracking down on leaks to the media, Chief of Staff John Kelly issued a memo to staff on Wednesday outlining the administration's new ban on personal cell phones within the West Wing complex of the White House.
In the internal memo obtained by ABC News and verified by a senior White House official Kelly said the policy — set to take effect January 16 — is intended "to protect White House information technology infrastructure from compromise and sensitive or classified information from unauthorized access to dissemination."
The policy goes further than originally expected and is not just limited to personal cell phones. It also includes laptops, smartwatches and "devices with WiFi, Bluetooth, radio, or cellular capabilities" and "any portable device that emits an electric signal and was not issued by the White House Communications Agency," according to the memo.
Staff has previously been warned against using personal cell phones for official business but this memo appears to take the first formal steps outlining disciplinary actions for staffers who skirt the rules.
"Violations of this policy by EOP staff are security incidents that may indicate knowing, willful, or negligent conduct in violation of security policy and may therefore result in disciplinary action and, for other Federal employees and visitors, may include being indefinitely prohibited from entering the White House complex," the memo reads.
Kelly advises staff working in the West Wing to leave the prohibited devices at home, in their vehicles or their non West Wing offices. There are also lockers available for storing the devices.
The policy isn't without precedent in federal buildings. For example, due to security concerns, personal cell phones are not permitted on the seventh floor of the State Department where the senior executive offices are located.
A former senior White House official familiar with the decision tells ABC News that this has been a discussion since the early stages of the administration with a focus on protecting national security.
"I know that there are other reasons like the leaking, but this does come out of a concern with national security issues. The Chinese and Russians using personal cell phones and compromising them as listening devices," the former official said, predicting that the ban will not stop the leaking as staffers will be able to use their devices outside the West Wing facility.
"For the purposes of this memorandum, the West Wing means the facility generally located between the President's Executive Residence and West Executive Drive," a footnote of the memo reads. "For purposes of this policy, the West Wing does not include the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, any White House Press Corps work spaces, or any outdoor common area, such as the Rose Garden or the North Lawn media positions."
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said last week that the new ban has nothing to do with leaks to the press or the revelations in Michael Wolff's book Fire & Fury.
"Absolutely not. That's a ridiculous characterization. This is about the security and the integrity of the technology systems here at the White House," Sanders said.

Former Natives Protection Law
From SamuraiWiki
Revision as of 17:39, 8 January 2012 by LordAmeth (Talk | contribs)
Enacted: 1899
Repealed: 1997
Japanese: 旧土人保護法 (kyuudojin hogo hou)
The "Former Natives Protection Law" was a piece of legislation put into place by the Meiji government in 1899 and aimed at the assimilation of the Ainu prople (i.e. transforming them into Japanese citizens) and at ensuring their welfare. Though including many provisions for providing welfare services to the Ainu people, the law (combined with other development/colonization policies) created devastating economic difficulties for the Ainu, endangering their livelihoods. It is also heavily criticized today as a fundamental piece of colonialist/imperialist/racist policies in Hokkaidô, which by identifying Ainu as "former aborigines" implied that Ainu identity was a thing of the past, and denied them aboriginal status. As late as the 1980s, Prime Minister Nakasone Yasuhiro was famously quoted as saying that Japan had no native ethnic minorities, and that all Japanese people were indigenous to Japan.
Under the provisions of the Former Natives Protection Law, the Meiji state eliminated traditional systems of Ainu land rights or land claims, seizing all of their land and redistributing it. Ainu were given up to five hectares of land[1] to farm, along with tools, seed, and other materials or equipment, and were mandated to farm that land. Land left uncultivated for fifteen years was confiscated. Special hardy strains of rice were introduced to be cultivated in Hokkaidô, and a rice-based Japanese mode of agriculture culture and society was strongly encouraged; this, despite the fact that Ainu never traditionally grew rice, and were more accustomed to (and skilled at) hunting, fishing, skinning, and growing certain kinds of vegetables and other crops (other than rice).
Ainu monetary savings were also seized by the government, and put into a fund to be redistributed or otherwise used to benefit the "former natives." The national education system was implemented in Hokkaidô as throughout Japan, teaching Ainu children, along with Japanese children, to be good, patriotic, Japanese citizens.
Much of the provisions of the law were no longer actively in place in the post-war period; the national education system of course still exists, along with systems of government welfare, though most likely mandates on Ainu growing certain crops on certain lands, and the system of an "Ainu welfare fund" funded from the monies taken from the Ainu circa 1899-1900, were gone. Still, the law remained on the books until 1997, when, in response to international pressure, the Japanese government repealed it, formally acknowledging the Ainu as an "indigenous people" in 2008, entitled to the same rights all indigenous peoples are said to be entitled to under United Nations resolutions and agreements.

Проблема в том, что значение меняется, если вместо p напрямую написать id-блока("name2"), можно ли его как-нибудь передать в функцию и благополучно использовать?
Сам вызов функции

Наиболее удобной практикой является в HTML использовать один вид кавычек, а в JavaScript - другой.
После исправления ошибки
function show( p ) {

успешно будет работать.

P.S. Я соврал. Наиболее удобной практикой является "навешивание" событий на элементы разметки. Вроде этого:
$( "p" ).on( "click", show );

Но это уже потом, когда окончательно разберетесь с основами ;)

Following their most recent deal for Sam Dekker, it looks like the Cleveland Cavaliers have their final roster set for the start of the 2018-2019 season.
Cleveland may know what they want their team to look like, but don't exactly have everyone under contract as they still need to work out a deal with guard Rodney Hood. They have left a roster spot open for him, but have yet to come fully to terms.
There are only a few weeks before preseason activities begin, but this is probably something they're going to want to figure out sooner rather than later.
It has been no secret that Cleveland wants Hood to remain on the team, but the length of his stay is up in the air. They'd like to lock him up for multiple years, while the sixth-year pro would like something shorter. Hood didn't love his role in Cleveland at times last year, as he expected a bigger scoring responsibility, and even refused to get off the bench for garbage time minutes in the playoffs.
You'd initially believe this is a Cleveland issue since Hood isn't the only one who is currently having his roster spot saved for him, but David Nwaba actually can't come to terms with a contract until Cleveland knows what they're giving to Hood salary wise.
Marks reports #Cavs two roster spots are "reserved" for David Nwaba and Rodney Hood.
The Cavaliers are clearly trying to shape a young and up-and-coming roster here. It's flattering that they are committed to keeping Hood in those plans, but they'll need to get that down in writing soon.

The Relevance of Black American Muslim Thought
Blog, Politics
As Islam and Muslims find their way into the news more and more, Black Muslims are becoming few and far between in these discussions. Maurice Hines asked in a recent Sapelo Square article, "What Happened to Our Big Brother?" Where are the Black Muslim intellectuals? Where are the Black Muslim activists? Hakeem Muhammad wondered about the Islam of Black Revolutionaries. Why are Black Muslims being erased from the conversations? Where are the Black Muslims who used to be a guiding light in the Black community? To give us something to think about, I'm reposting an abridged version of a previous post by Margari Aziza Hill. Think and ponder. — Nisa Muhammad, Politics Editor
By Margari Aziza Hill
The Muslim American community is held together with the belief that there is no God but the One True God and that Muhammad is His prophet. Muslims share daily patterns of worship, rituals of birth, marriage and death.
As one of the most diverse faith communities, Muslim Americans come from various ethnic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Sometimes there are various articulations of Islam due to different political, cultural and religious orientations.
There are approximately five million Muslims in America, though some estimate as many as seven to ten million. CAIR, (Council on American Islamic Relations) reports in
their 2000 Mosque Study that Muslim ethnicities are 33% South Asian, 30% Black American and 25% Arab, 3.4% Sub-Saharan African, 2.1% European, 1.6% White American, 1.3% Southeast Asian, 1.2% Caribbean, 1.1% Turkish, .7% Iranian and .6% Latino/Hispanic. Other reports indicate the number of Black Americans may be even larger.
Regardless of the numbers, there is no clear ethnic majority in American Islam. But these numbers raise some important issues: Who has the right to speak for American Muslims? Who are the real Muslims? Who will define the agenda for American Muslims? These questions have often been central to a debate that has emerged about the Black American/immigrant divide.
Over the years, many Black American Muslims have been at the forefront of articulating Islamic thought for the growing American Muslim community. But this seems to have changed as a dominant narrative has taken over.
In America, there is a fierce competition over resources that has led to some voices getting silenced in deciding the agenda for American Muslims. Within mainstream media, the Muslim American experience is about the immigration and assimilation experience. There is little press coverage or interest shown in the media on converts or the multi-generational Black American Muslim families.
Sylvia Chan-Malik uses the term "foundational blackness" to describe how contemporary Islam in America can best be understood by transnational affiliations that link gender, class and religion, but also through its relationship with blackness. However, Black American Muslim foundations go back further, with memories of African Muslims enslaved in the Americas, even predating the formation of the United States.
Before 9/11, some of the most prominent voices in American Islam were African
Americans, including Imams Warith Deen Muhammad and Siraj Wahhaj. Their status as citizens afforded them the privilege to critique American society and foreign policy, without compromising their Americanness.
The protest tradition of many leaders helped forge a space for the next generation of immigrants and descendants of Muslim American immigrants to assert themselves in the public sphere. Following the events of 9/11, there has been an increasing silencing of Black American Muslim voices: a combination of little to no media acknowledgment of BAM's as well as a systemic neglect on the part of Muslim immigrants.
Over time, Black American spokespeople were gradually eclipsed as national Muslim organizations with strong immigrant interests sought to assert their agendas and provide the dominant narrative of immigrants assimilating to American values.
In contrast to the hegemonic narrative that has rendered them invisible, Black American Muslims are vital to the health of this diverse Muslim community. They have also continued to make great strides politically, socially and culturally. This includes two Black American Muslim members of Congress, Keith Ellison and André Carson; and the growing prominence of intellectuals and scholars, most notably feminist scholar Dr. Amina Wadud, Dr. Aminah Beverly McCloud, who wrote African American Islam, Dr.
Sherman Abdul-Hakim Jackson and Imam Zaid Shakir.
Black American Muslims have made cultural gains, including the feature-length film "Mooz-Lum," and the success of prominent hip hop artists, such as Lupe Fiasco and Yasiin Bey (Mos Def). The Abdullah brothers, Husain and Hamza, shared their story of taking time off from the NFL to perform the annual Muslim pilgrimage (Hajj). The fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad was the first Muslim woman in hijab to compete in the Olympics for the United States and win a medal.
Black American Muslims are very much part of the fabric of America and often play a daily role in interfaith dialogue, as many of them have family and loved ones who are non-Muslim.
Black American Muslims are vital to the health of the diverse Muslim community.
Black American Muslims participate in anti-war protests, critique extrajudicial killings through drone strikes in Chad, Mali, Yemen and Pakistan, raise money for war refugees in Syria and alleviate suffering in natural disasters in Somalia and Pakistan. Yet pressing social issues in their home communities, such as economic inequality, street violence and family instability, play a large role in their everyday lives. Crime, poverty and marriage are common issues raised in the Black American Muslim discourse from the minbar to the lecture hall. These issues also shape their outlook, which in turn causes them to be empathetic to the plight of others at home and abroad.
It seems to be willful ignorance on the part of the media, scholars and some organizations to overlook these important contributions and connections. The occlusion of Black Americans despite the continual relevance of Black American Muslim thought makes it especially important to document this intellectual heritage. Indeed, we must go beyond documenting the life histories of major Muslim leaders and begin to study transformations in Muslim American thought.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You do important work. We think it needs to be protected and strengthened. Regional and state public policy & advocacy efforts help the National Alliance for Community Media (ACM) expand their mission. The ACM is the only membership association devoted to Public, Educational and Government Access television providers in the United States.
PEG community media is an amazing resource that needs to be protected in a time of great technological change and it can grow and evolve if we invest in its future. The ACM is the vehicle for those two goals.
First, we have to tell our story well in Washington DC. That means educating policymakers on why community media is important, and how it's affected by policies being weighed in Congress and at the FCC. The ACM organizes campaigns to tell our industry's story and we help change the debate on policies that could have weakened PEG channels.
Second, we have to inspire an d encourage growth, innovation and investment in our field. That means training new leaders, supporting innovation and sharing best practices across the United States. The ACM acts as a clearinghouse for sharing ideas and information to lead your PEG operation into the future
By supporting the ACM, you get the benefit of that policy representation and support for your organization's future. Whether you have questions about legal issues affecting your channels, new technologies, experiments in our field, or lessons learned by colleagues across the country – ACM can be a great resource for you, your staff, volunteers and board members.
We need to grow that momentum and we invite you to join us and benefit from the education and advocacy work we provide to our members.

Кристиан Олаф Бернхард Биркеланд (1867—1917) — норвежский физик, член Норвежской АН. Прославился как первый человек, который сумел объяснить суть явления полярного сияния. Выдвигался на награждение Нобелевской премией 13 раз.

Исследования
Биркеланд организовывал несколько экспедиций в высокоширотные области Норвегии, где он установил сеть обсерваторий в районах полярного сияния для сбора данных о магнитном поле. Результаты норвежской полярной экспедиции, проведённой с 1899 до 1900 года, содержали первые результаты наземных измерений магнитного поля и глобальной структуры электрических токов в полярном регионе.

Чтобы получить деньги, необходимые для проведения исследований полярного сияния, Биркеланд придумал и разработал электромагнитный метод промышленного синтеза азотной кислоты из воздуха (процесс Биркеланда — Эйде). Вместе с инженером Самом Эйде Биркеланд создал первую установку, в которой атмосферный воздух под давлением прогонялся через электрическую дугу переменного тока напряжением  и мощностью , вращающуюся в постоянном магнитном поле, образуя плазменный диск диаметром . Образовавшийся в дуговом разряде оксид азота(II) NO окислялся кислородом воздуха до диоксида NO2 и затем растворялся в воде, образуя азотную кислоту. Установка вырабатывала  азотной кислоты на киловатт-час затраченной энергии, что было коммерчески выгодно благодаря относительной дешевизне электроэнергии, вырабатываемой норвежскими гидроэлектростанциями.

Биркеланд в 1916 году одним из первых предсказал существование солнечного ветра:
Другими словами, солнечный ветер состоит из отрицательных электронов и положительных ионов.

Память
В честь Кристиана Биркеланда в 1970 г назван кратер на Луне.

Похоронен на Западном кладбище Осло.

Congratulations to the winners and organisers of Te Matatini
Te Matatini, the national Kapa Haka festival, proved itself as a drawcard for the region and as one of the most significant cultural events in New Zealand as more than 60,000 people headed to Wellington for the four-day event.
Greater Wellington Regional Council Chair Chris Laidlaw said that the theme of the 2019 festival, Te Matatini ki te Ao, couldn't be more apt.
"Te Matatini showed how we can bring people together and share our language, stories, arts and culture with the world. This was a true international level event," said Cr Laidlaw.
Performers from 46 groups, representing all regions of New Zealand as well as whanau from Australia, entertained crowds with split-second choreography, strong heart and voice showing why the biennial festival is considered the pinnacle for Māori performing arts.
Councillor Laidlaw congratulated Ngā Tumanako as Te Toa Whakaihuwaka (overall winners) of Te Matatini, as well as the organisers of the successful smoke-free and alcohol-free festival.
"Te Matatini proves that a whanau friendly event can draw a significant crowd. Performers, whanau and fans travelled far and wide and an excellent team of volunteers made sure that they felt welcome. Te Matatini should serve as an example for other event organisers on how to bring people in to a region and care for them. The Council hopes that Te Matatini returns to the region in the future," added Cr Laidlaw.


I think that the main purpose of games is to act as an interactive movie. The game which comes the closest to capturing all the great qualities of a film is Metal Gear Solid 2, in my opinion. But even that can't compare with action films such as The Matrix, Bad Boys 2, Hard-Boiled etc.
Movies can offer so much more the games, and keep you really engrossed. A movie that captures the horror of the Silent Hill series would be utterly amazing and 100X more horrific then a game.
I also think there's a lot of technology that can be made for movies that can improve the experience even more. However I can't think of any features for games that raises them above the exhiliration of a good movie.
I'd say I'm an EJ, I have Xbox, PS2 and DC, love games and have an amazing setup for watching movies. However I think I enjoy movies more then games, I have a great knowledge of film and see around 106 films on cinema a year.
I have a great knowledge of film and see around 106 films on cinema a year.
Is that an average or do you keep a count?
Well, It's an estimate: I see 2 films on circuit every friday without fail... Sometimes I see 3 a weekend.
Well to answer your question I'm kind of bored of games these days, I download them then don't play 'em. So I guess I prefer films, mainly because they require less effort but are ultimately more rewarding. I've found that any games I do play (I play rpgs mostly) I'm more interested in the story than the gameplay...that's why I cheat as soon as I get stuck.

In what ways can coders and tech people help improve a nation?
Code4Nation, a group founded by Ainun Najib, proved that they can do phenomenal things for the betterment of their country. Ainun shared stories of their projects in a fireside chat with Freelancer CEO Matt Barrie at SydStart 2015.
In Indonesia, the tabulating of election votes takes about two weeks. Ainun and his team came up with a platform that will make the process transparent to the public. They set up the website called Kawalpemilu.org and gathered 700 volunteers to guard the 2014 Presidential Elections. "Kawal pemilu" means guard the election.
Ainun's team crowdsourced and tabulated the number of votes from around 478,000 polling stations. It was a massive effort to collect all the data. Ainun commended the election committee because they opened their data for every polling station. All scans of the votes were visible on the website and people could report any irregularity they find. Kawalpemilu revealed the final results one week earlier than the official announcement.
Their next project was Kawalapbd.org, where APBD pertains to local budget. The screenshot below shows the budget for the country's capital, Jakarta. In translation, "kawal APBD" means to guard the budget. This website made details of budget allocation accessible to the public. People can upvote and downvote a budget to share what they think of the allocation.
Kawal desa or guard the village budget is a new project that started this year. This is in accordance to the law that every single village in Indonesia will receive up to $100,000. This project aims for transparency of budget allocation to prevent a village chief in becoming a potential corrupt king.
Based on the previous projects they did, Ainun realized that Indonesian coders and tech people are eager to contribute to the nation. They just don't have the community or the place where they can collaborate. With this, Ainun launched Code4Nation, an online forum where they can meet up and discuss what projects they can build to help the nation.
This is a social media platform where people can post their concerns, which other users can upvote or downvote. The top five issues are reported to the president.
This project is for capturing the public sentiments about the ministers. "Kawal menteri" means guard the ministers. This is where people can express their opinions whether the ministers are doing their job or not.
The Code4Nation community organized the first ever Hackathon Merdeka held in August. For this hackathon, they got to work with the Office of the President as represented by Luhut Pandjaitan (Chief of Staff and Minister for Security).
The problem statement given to participants was the fluctuating prices of food commodities. Some of the hackathon winners built e-commerce platforms where people can buy straight from the farmers and have the goods delivered to their doorstep. Ainun's team brought the winners of Hackathon Merdeka 1.0 to pitch their apps to the president.
The first hackathon impressed Rudiantara, Minister of Communication and Informatics so much, that he championed the efforts of Ainun's team. He pushed forward Hackathon Merdeka 2.0 in October, which involved 1,700 participants from 28 cities. This included Sydney, with the hackathon hosted by Freelancer.
On December 4 and 5, Hackathon Merdeka 3.0 transpired in all Indonesian diaspora around the world. The final phase of Hackathon Merdeka was in observance of the International Anti-Corruption Day. This hackathon gained the support of the Corruption Eradication Commission and Indonesia Corruption Watch.
Ainun shared their wild idea of setting up an online political party to bring the citizens' aspirations to the national level. If it's too much of an idea to take part in the election, then they will just set up a platform to show how a political party should be — one that engages and listens to citizens' concerns and aspirations not just during election campaign period but throughout the year.
Watch Ainun's full presentation with an All Access Digital Pass.

Home / MARRIAGE EQUALITY / Gender-Neutral Terminology For NYC Marriage Licenses Application Forms
Gender-Neutral Terminology For NYC Marriage Licenses Application Forms
The New York City Marriage licenses application forms have Gender neutral terminology.
Same-sex couples can start applying for marriage licenses in New York City using online forms that now feature gender-neutral terminology.
The Office of the City Clerk made new forms available on its website Tuesday.
The forms allow couples to enter information for "bride," "groom" or the gender-neutral "spouse." Previously, they only allowed for "bride" and "groom."
Although couples can begin applying for the $35 licenses, they likely won't be issued until July 25 ? the first business day after the state's law legalizing gay marriage becomes active.
State law requires couples to wait 24 hours to wed, though a waiver can be requested of a judge.

Now that the initial version of the system is ready, additional features and design changes can be made to improve on the original release.


synChess is one of the toys which can be played in Arcadia. It is a multiplayer chess game for up to... well.. no limit really. Each channel holds 16 tables and you can play white or black on any one of those. Or you can simply watch other people play.
As soon as you enter the channel, you are synchronized to the state of any active tables. The list on the right tells you who is playing on which table, and whose move it is (a red triangle on a table means it is YOUR move!) Click on a table to switch to it.
The engine has some defects in legal move determination (for example, it won't hesitate to castle 'across check') so try not to cheat. Your account will develop a history of win/loss/ties and your 'rating' will be computed based on the Chess Federation rating algorithm (or at least my take on it).
The OPTIONS button for this toy brings up some options and lets you pick between various table and piece sets. You can design your own by adding files to the TABLES and PIECES folders in the "..arcadia\toys\toy3" folder. Look at the existing files for an idea on the necessary formats.
This is a complete game and is educational to boot.
None. What would you suggest?

Trump rallies supporters in Greeley as Election Day nears
By: Jennifer Lee Kovaleski
GREELEY, Colo. -- For the second day in a row, Donald Trump rallied Colorado voters just nine days before the November General Election on Nov. 8.
The republican nominee spent Saturday in battleground Jefferson County and held another rally on the UNC campus in Greeley on Sunday.
Greeley, which is located in Weld County, is a traditionally Republican county.
Trump took the stage in Greeley holding a rainbow LGBTQ flag from one his supporters. He then hinted at possible voter fraud in Colorado.
"Do you think those ballots are properly counted?" Trump asked the crowd who yelled back, "No!"
"I know there are all saying, 'oh, of course everything is so legitimate, everything is so -- perhaps I'm a more skeptical person, ok," said Trump.
Despite the fact the Denver Broncos played during the rally, more than 2,000 people packed the arena.
"This crowd -- there are thousands of people outside and you have the Denver Broncos, your team is playing right now," said Trump.
Trump also attacked on Sunday what he called Clinton's latest "bombshell of corruption," referring to the 650,000 new emails the F.B.I. has now said it will examine.
"This could be the mother lode, you know," he said.
Trump then shifted gears by telling the crowd, "let's talk positive."
"I'm starting to think we'll go positive cause, you know, it's all bad borders, our military's depleted," he said.
The Republican nominee ended his speech by talking about his plans to lower taxes, improve the economy and stop what he called the war on American energy.
"My administration will put the miners back to work, and we will unleash the power of clean coal, oil, natural gas and shale energy," said Trump.

Q: How to attach a UIButton to a segue originating from a different UIViewController? I've two UIViewControllers say A and B. And I've a segue from A to B which is being used by multiple buttons in A.
I've a use case where I want to give option to user to jump from B to B itself but to the next level of a game. You can think of it like A being level selection screen (Level 1, 2, 3, 4...and so on), and B being the game screen for level 1/2/3/4/etc.
When level 1 is finished, I want to give user a button with an option to jump to next level directly (i.e. same UIViewController with different data for the level). Can somebody suggest what's the best way to implement it?

A: I suggest you should better subclass a baseGameViewController, which own your game scence needs common property, and every viewController has its own special feature.
Your post's meaning is impractical, because:

*

*In storyboard, every ViewController interface only can have one ViewController Class.

*If you use one ViewController to handle so many scence event and data, it is complex, and also it is not accord with design model.

5 dead from storms on northern Greece
By COSTAS KANTOURIS
THESSALONIKI, Greece —
Powerful storms raged over Greece's northern Halkidiki region Wednesday, leaving at least five people dead and 20 injured as trees and electricity pylons toppled. Power was knocked out and roads were blocked.
Police and the Fire Service said the deaths occurred late Wednesday in three separate incidents. High winds overturned a recreational vehicle in one incident and caused the collapse of a lean-to roof at an outdoor restaurant in another. Details of the third incident were not immediately available.
The region, a three-finger peninsula near the northern city of Thessaloniki, has multiple seaside resorts and is popular with tourists in the summer.
The Fire Service said that it rescued 30 people from buildings due to the bad weather and that personnel outside the affected region were on stand-by in case more rescues were needed.
Earlier, in southern Greece, eight migrants, including two children, were injured when high winds blew a tree down onto a tent at a camp for migrants and refugees in Inofyta, 60 kilometers (37 miles) from of the Greek capital. All the injured were hospitalized.
Greece has set up dozens of migrant camps across the country following 2016 agreements that limited travel of asylum seekers to other European Union countries.
The strong winds, combined with temperatures of 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit), also fanned three large wildfires in southern Greece.

est un genre éteint de sarcoptérygiens ayant vécu durant la fin du Dévonien (Frasnien), dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le nord-est du Canada. Une seule espèce est connue, , décrite en 2022 à partir d'un squelette partiel, découvert en 2004 sur l'île d'Ellesmere, au Nunavut.

L'analyse des os des nageoires suggère que Qikiqtania était bien adapté à la natation et probablement incapable de marcher ou de se soutenir hors de l'eau, comme cela a été suggéré pour l'étroitement apparenté Tiktaalik.

Découverte et dénomination

Le spécimen holotype de Qikiqtania, catalogué NUFV 137, a été découvert en 2004 dans des couches de la formation de Fram, datant du Dévonien supérieur (Frasnien) du sud de l'île d'Ellesmere, Nunavut, Canada. Le spécimen holotype se compose de mâchoires inférieures, d'une mâchoire supérieure et d'un palais gauche partiels, de gulaires, de cératohyales, d'une nageoire pectorale gauche articulée et de diverses écailles, eux aussi  articulés.
En 2022, Thomas A. Stewart, Justin B. Lemberg, Ailis Daly, Edward B. Daeschler et Neil H. Shubin ont nommé et décrit Qikiqtania wakei sur la base de ces restes. Le nom générique, Qikiqtania, est dérivé des mots inuktitut « Qikiqtaaluk » et « Qikiqtani », qui représentent les noms traditionnels du site fossilifère. L'épithète spécifique wakei honore le biologiste évolutionniste David Burton Wake.

Description
Qikiqtania avait de fortes mâchoires qui lui auraient permis de mordre et de tenir sa proie en toute sécurité. Il avait une rangée de dents et de crocs à l'intérieur de sa bouche, et il aurait aspiré de la nourriture dans sa bouche par succion.

Les tomodensitogrammes de la roche contenant la nageoire révèlent la présence d'un membre complet à l'intérieur. Ces scans ont permis aux auteurs de description de mieux comprendre et interpréter le matériel fossile. Les os des nageoires de Qikiqtania n'étaient pas assez solides pour supporter son corps sur terre, il aurait donc vécu entièrement dans l'eau. Son humérus ne montre aucune indication des points d'attache musculaires bien développés observés chez les taxons semi-subaériens apparentés. Cela contraste avec Tiktaalik, qui aurait pu se caler dans des eaux peu profondes ou sur terre et utiliser ses membres comme support.

Les écailles conservées sont de forme rhomboïde, généralement similaires à celles des autres élpistostégaliens à nageoires. Des écailles préservées ont été trouvées sur le tronc, y compris la ligne médiane dorsale et le flanc, la nageoire pectorale et la série des lignes latérales. L'analyse des écailles a révélé des canaux sensoriels qui auraient permis à l'animal de détecter l'écoulement de l'eau autour de son corps.

L'individu holotype aurait eu une longueur corporelle totale d'environ , ce qui est plus petit que la plupart des élpistostégaliens.

Classification
Qikiqtania représente un élpistostégalien étroitement apparenté aux tétrapodes. Dans toutes les analyses phylogénétiques, il a été récupéré comme côté couronne de Panderichthys. Le cladogramme ci-dessous présente les résultats des analyses phylogénétiques de Stewart  (2022):

As you are already aware, the UK has now moved from the old "analogue" broadcasting of TV channels, to the new "digital" system. This new system allows many more channels to be broadcast to you, with a much higher picture quality. The same has also happened in France. The UK call it "Freeview", here in France it is known as TNT which is "télévision numérique terrestre". With the TNT system there are around 27 digital free to view channels available via a satellite dish and digibox (as shown below).
To offer you a greater service we can supply and install equipment to receive these French digital channels. To keep costs down it can be installed at the same time as your UK system.
It does not matter whether you have an older style analogue television or a new digital one - this new service will work with either.
A list of the currently available French channels is shown below. These are the equivalent of our mainstream BBC and ITV channels and are available without a subscription.

Black Owned Brewery Celebrates Two years of Crafting Beer and Community
Hard to get more Northwest than coffee, bicycling and craft brews. That just so happens to be the special recipe behind Washington state's first and only Black-owned brewery.
Metier Brewing in Woodinville just celebrated its two-year anniversary this summer. Owner Rodney Hines and co-founder Todd Herriott made it more than just about beer.
Rodney Hines
"All about building community and offering a welcoming gathering space for families, friends, and those who appreciate well-crafted beer," Hines said. As soon as you walk through the door you'll see the purpose written on the wall: "Our Mission is to brew damn good beer and build a stronger community to inspire bigger dreams for all."
It's a family-friendly, pet-friendly, and bike-friendly brewery located in the heart of Woodinville's wine district.
Metier is french and poetically means "one's calling, one's destiny." The team behind Metier Brewing Co. is symbolic of their diversity mission.
Herriott owns a premium bicycle shop with the same name on Capitol Hill and Hines left a corporate job in the coffee world to dive into craft beer full-time. "I'm a home brewer…and no one should ever taste any of that," Hines joked.
"This has been a dream of mine for a long time. Where everyone can feel welcomed. It took me over 50 years, but here we are!"
They hired a brewmaster and have quickly found success in brewing up some popular beers."We've already won awards for our beer, so it says we're delivering on that so we've got the product. We've got damn good beer and that's allowed us to focus on the other part of our mission," Hines said.
Hines says there are only about 65 Black-owned breweries that they know about across the nation.
"That is not to say that folks of color don't like beer. I think that's to say that folks of color don't always see themselves welcomed into all spaces," Hines said. "It feels like an inviting space for everyone, and there's intention behind that."
"That's out of about 8,000 and there are even fewer female-owned breweries," he said.
The business is brewing craft beers but the passion for community is evident on the walls. Tap Room Manager Bailey Kroeger says it was their commitment to diversity and caring about people that attracted her to work with the brewery.
"It's been nice to work at a company that actually cares about me," Kroeger said.
Fundraising efforts and partnerships with other local businesses are celebrated throughout the taproom and most recently Metier Brewing teamed up with another local brewer to release "Say It Loud: Stout and Proud" to benefit Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle.

Of course, the price of a Duo-Roll is higher than the price for a standard roller blind. This is though quite easy to explain. A Duo-Roll has twice the amount of fabric as a standard roller blind. Furthermore, a duo-roll is always equipped with cassette. Knowing that the fabric and the processing of it is part of the price of a roller blind for ±75% explains why a doubling or the required meters of fabric causes this significant difference in price.
An advantage is that you can use the Duo-roll in the daytime as well as in the evening. By shifting the strips, you can choose eater for illumination or privacy. In a nutshell, this is a more expensive product, but at the same time it offers a wide range of possibilities.
Panel tracks are also known as Japanese panel blinds. This reference to the far East highlights the tranquility it brings to your interior. Panel tracks are very suitable for wide windows. By dividing the width into different sections, the width of the window does not influence the hanging behavior or the textile used for these tracks.
