Q: Dividing rails results into logical pairs I have a model that can belong(s)_to 6 values of a related model. In my view, I want to display 2 of the values in one column, two in another column and two in the last column.
What's the best/easiest way to group these records for easy display. What I thought of so far:

*

*Using group_by, but I cannot find any decent documentation on that

*doing some kind of loop and store the results in a temporary array

*Just do find.all and handle the logic in the view

*Query the results from the relationship 3 times, once for each pair

What is your best practice?

A: 1) In your model create 3 methods: column_1, column_2, and column_3 like:
def column_1
  "#{association_1.field} #{association_2.field}"
end

2) In your query add includes on your belongs_to associations to make it run faster.
3) Call the methods in your view.
On the other hand, displaying complex things via model methods such as links and such, might be a bit ugly, and you might have to write those methods in a helper instead of your model.

Derek McInnes admits Aberdeen were spooked by Livingston as he delivers brutal verdict
The Dons were stunned 2-0 at home by David Martindale's relentless Lions and their boss refused to sugarcoat a painful defeat.

Frustrated Derek McInnes admitted Aberdeen 's horror start killed them.
The Dons slumped to fourth after a home defeat to Livingston, following a Joe Lewis blunder and then some more awful defending for Nicky Devlin's second.
McInnes knows his team shot themselves in the foot and never recovered.
He said: "It was such a poor start and we stepped into Livingston's plan, they stepped off the game then really hunted us at the right times.
"The goal unnerved us, there's no doubt about it, it was a terrible goal to lose.
"The second goal was every bit as bad, it wasn't an individual error but it should have been dealt with so much better.
"It was such a poor performance, especially in the first half, and half-time couldn't come quickly enough.
"Second half was more controlled, but unfortunately we were the ones doing the chasing and they had something to hold on to.
"The first half killed us.
McInnes is adamant his side should have had a second half goal because Lewis Ferguson's shot had smashed off the bar and dropped over the line.
He insisted: "The goal should stand, it's such an important part of the game.
"It was so important at that stage of the game for players to get a lift because it was a fantastic striker, but it wasn't to be."
Aberdeen now head to Hibs, in the battle for third, and McInnes knows nobody will fancy his side.
Transfer news LIVE aftermath as Rangers and Celtic plus Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs do last minute deals
"We are going to have to improve on that performance tonight," he acknowledged.
"Nobody will probably give us a chance on Saturday, we have swapped places with Hibs all season.
"But we went down there before this season and won with a big performance and that's what we need to do again.
"It's getting to the business end of the season and we still have it all to do, the run-in will determine what our season is going to look like."
Aberdeen are also sweating on injuries with Ryan Hedges and Ash Taylor both having to go off last night.

When you ask a bride what's most important to her on her wedding day, usually the answer is the Band! A desire for everyone to have a good time is so important to all of our clients. Bands book out far in advance so we try and get the band booked within the week of the engagement. Below is my step-by-step approach on how to hire your band quickly and a few things you need to know before you sign the contract.
First, determine your budget. Bands have a wide price range and this is an area you truly get what you pay for. The more polished, professional bands are going to be more expensive but they are also easier to work with and are more likely to accommodate your requests. However, if your budget doesn't allow for the pricey band, booking a lower priced band through a booking agent will help!
Second, reach out to a booking agent and ask them to send you bands that are available and in your price range. We love working with Music Garden and Eastcoast Entertainment as they manage the bands well and never lead us wrong. The biggest mistake I see is when a couple goes on their own random search. They waste a lot time looking at bands one by one on the web without knowing if the band is even available or in their price point. Both Music Garden and EastCoast will send you links to bands available on your day. Therefore you are only looking at bands you can book. This makes the search so much easier.
Third, you need to determine if you want a band to play 3 hours non-stop or 4 hours with breaks. The bigger show bands do not have a problem playing 3 hours without a break. We usually recommend you cut the cake first then get the band started with your first dance. This way you are not wasting dancing time! If your band insists on 2 breaks, ask them if they will consider playing for 3.5 hours and 1 break instead. This break needs to be timed right so get some help from your planner.
One misconception we see is a couple thinking they get to choose the entire set list. Bands will not commit to a set list but they will allow you to give them some guidance. We recommend you give them 5 songs you LOVE and 5 songs you really do not want played. This helps the band know what you like and don't like while also guaranteeing your favorites are played. The planners at Mariée Ami will always say no to choreographed dancing or rap.
Fourth, if you are not working with a planner, be sure to read over the band rider. It will tell you the stage requirements, meals, power, and dressing room wishes. While the items on the rider are required, they are all negotiable. For example, your venue may have a stage 2 feet shorter than what they require. Most riders request a 16×24 stage but I have seen a 14×24 work just fine. Most bands are willing to work with you if you just ask, but try not to interfere with their show. Always try your best to keep the band happy.
I hope you find this information helpful when booking your band. Be sure to remember your friends will have fun if you have fun! Get ready to dance your heart out!


A celebration of local artists, Local Now at the Ipswich Art Gallery showcases some of the more interesting work being made in Ipswich and the surrounding regions.
The exhibition is a survey of eight local artists work and captures the depth and diversity of artists working in the region.
Arts, Community and Cultural Services Committee Chairperson Councillor Charlie Pisasale said Local Now raises awareness of the numerous talented artists creating work across Ipswich and surrounding areas of Somerset and the Scenic Rim.
"These are eight prominent artists that live and work right here in our community. Local Now is an opportunity to celebrate the creative talent in our region.
"Artists that are making interesting work deserve this recognition in our community and beyond.
Some artists have always lived in and around Ipswich, some were attracted to the beautiful natural environment, and others because it is an affordable place to live. Local Now gives them the opportunity to show their work in the largest and most visited regional gallery in Australia and to highlight the diversity and innovation that can happen outside of the major cities.
The exhibition will feature paintings by Gary Abkin, Merton Chambers and Sharon Harper-Greentree, Mieke Den Otter's textile art, Alinta Krauth multimedia installations, Kate Roberts' jewellery, Christopher Trotter's sculpture and photo-based artwork by LeAnne Vincent.
The people and places around artists always influence what they produce. For some artists, their work in Local Now will give an insight into how they think about the place where they live.
Making work about the places you know best is what Ipswich artist LeAnne Vincent promotes to other artists, and is the starting point for much of her work.
"I often look to the local community when creating a new body of work. While for this exhibition I've highlighted the diversity of birds in Queensland, and how they've been affected by urban development, by using many images captured in the Ipswich region," she says.
"I exhibit widely and like to take my work outside of the Ipswich region. I often promote Ipswich when I travel and my work helps to do that.
Artist Sharon Harper-Greentree says her work is very much focused on her local area near Marburg, "Black Snake Creek in the area near where I live is a fairly major part of the visual aspect of the town. Depending on the season, the creek is just a few billabongs and at other times it can be a raging flood. But always it is a focus on the health and condition of the local environment.
Alinta Krauth's multimedia work has been specifically created for Local Now.
"I've lived in and around the scenic rim my entire life and I'm inspired by being around there. The environment and nature is a recurring theme in my work," she says.
For other artists, the influence of the region is less obvious and more subtle. But all of them are passionate and proud about where they live.
Local Now is on at the Ipswich Art Gallery from 19 September to 27 November. The Ipswich Art Gallery is open daily from 10am to 5pm and is located in d'Arcy Doyle Place between Limestone and Brisbane Streets, Ipswich. Entry is free.


Legislation requires financial institutions and companies to check whether their customers are politically exposed persons (PEP), or if they are on the sanction lists of money laundering and terrorism. A PEP is considered to, through position and influence, hold a position which constitutes a risk of being taken advantage of for bribery and other crimes. It is essentially about those who have or have had an important public function, such as cabinet members or heads of government. It also includes people who hold managerial positions in international organizations.
It is not forbidden to do business with PEP nor with their relatives or close associates (RCA), but the law requires that companies are aware of which customers are PEP. Sanction lists include listings from the EU and the UN that contain names of people who are sanctioned because of involvement in or links to terrorism. It is not allowed to do business with said persons.
Bisnode's solutions ensure that you always do business with relevant decision-making data, and streamline the process for you to follow the rules that apply. By selecting the right customers and being aware of potential liabilities related to the business relationship, you will create conditions to achieve adequate due diligence.
Through Bisnode's cooperation with Dun & Bradstreet, we can offer solutions that simplify international compliance processes. You get access to an online tool that in one place gives you solid information about your customers and suppliers. To make your decision support even more complete, and to make it clearer to you with whom you do business, we also produce overviews of corporate group structures for companies you do business with. This enables you to make sure that there are no irregularities in the network around the partner, thereby ensuring greater security and control in relation to current regulations.
Bisnode's solutions mean you can integrate screening for PEP and hits on sanctions lists in your own customer directory. Your customers are then identified based on these parameters in connection with, for example, client onboarding, at the same time as their creditworthiness is checked. This way screening becomes a natural part of the registration of new customers but can also be used for daily inspection of the existing customer portfolio. Thanks to screening based on real-time updates, you can ensure that your customer information is always updated and relevant.
Get a complete overview of your total risk and ensure you have current data.
Our solutions enable you to detect fraud in time.
Get early warnings about important changes so that you can make the right decisions.
Get insights into companies' and consumers creditworthiness in the Nordics.
Create a credit policy to keep track payments and opportunities to delegate decisions.
Bisnode's credit information gives you valuable data on both customers and suppliers.
Streamline your risk management and ensure compliance.
Get automated alerts when something important happens.
Credit fraud against businesses is expected to increase according to the police. Many cases involve bluff companies that buy products on credit and then apply for bankruptcy. The deceived companies write off the credit losses as being due to bankruptcy, not knowing that they've actually been the victims of a crime.


The Congressional Black Caucus Mourns the Loss of CBC Foundation Fellow, Jonathan E. Riley, Esq.
"The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF) Fellowship program has long served as a talent pipeline for professional African American men and women looking to develop careers on Capitol Hill. The program was created to give future leaders an opportunity to work in public service, develop leadership skills, and make a difference in the community. Thousands of the brightest individuals from around the country have come through the CBCF fellowship program and assist in the development of a number of legislative and public policy initiatives within Congressional Black Caucus member offices. Having demonstrated a commitment to public service and optimism to serve their community early on, the CBCF fellows continue to excel in public service long after their fellowship is complete.
"This legislative session, the Congressional Black Caucus was fortunate to have one such individual, Jonathan E. Riley, Esq., serve with our office as a CBCF fellow.

He had a joyous spirit and celebration for life. He loved his family, his work and demonstrated an admirable level of compassion, kindness and patience as he approached every assignment with enthusiasm and delight as his unselfish desire was to make a difference in life and his community. Prior to his work with the CBC, Jonathan advised Chicago-area businesses and nonprofits in entrepreneurship law and he held a strong passion for tech startups.

Welcome Sacha Petshi!
Just over 10 mins ago Rovers announced the first signing of the summer with trailest Sacha Petshi signing a permanent deal with the club. But who is he?
Position: Defensive midfielder
Height: 6 ft 4 in.
Sacha started his playing career with the French side Troyes as a youth player in 2007. He made his senior debut for the club in on the 11th August 2009. He was a regular B team player and only ever made 3 appearances for the senior side. He was then loaned out to a French semi-pro team Orléans. In 2014 Sacha was transferred to CA Bastia and it was here that he scored his first professional goal.
At the age of only 23 Sacha still has a lot of potential that could be unlocked and could be a massive help in defence with his dominate size. Good luck Sacha Petshi!


What is a great inner thigh workout???
Hmmm... I was just wondering...thanks so much if ya'll can help!
Re: What is a great inner thigh workout???
Oh, I was always so worried about my inner thighs when I was younger too.
I think in order to work on them you just have to do an overall diet/exercise plan with lots of cardio and eat less calories.
However to specifically work on your thighs, you can buy a thigh master (which is that thing you put between your legs and then squeeze it). Or, a good exercise is to lay on your side with your bottom leg bent and then lift it up using your inner thigh muscles.
OK this is kind of like the last one mentioned, but I used to do this one in dance class and it's pretty good.. you just lay on your back and lift your legs straight in the air. What you do is just criss cross them and make them go all the way out, and keep doing it, kind of like scissors. Also, if you ever go to a gym, there are machines meant for this that are awesome! They are thigh presses and have a seat with little things you put your legs on the outside of, and you bring your legs together with whatever amount of weight on the parts you want. They also have an opposite one, where the machine is on the outside and you push your legs out (working out outer thighs). Both work great!
Your body does not burn fat according to which muscles you work ,it burns fat according to how many calories, or how much energy you burn during a workout. Running would be the best thing.

Vox Lux – Marketing Recap
Vox Lux follows a young woman named Celeste from her teenage years as an overnight pop sensation through her attempted comeback nearly 20 years later, focusing on three stages of her life and career.
Natalie Portman plays Celeste in her later years, as she attempts to revitalize her career with a new album and tour she hopes will put her back on top. To do so she also has to deal with the years of personal and professional issues that have built up and try to overcome the scandal that derailed her stardom in the first place.
Portman is on stage in full makeup and with a microphone attached to her on the first poster, essentially reusing a promotional image for the key art here. Aside from a blurb from an early review there's nothing but the title and the credits as the studio hopes to make the flashy visual of the Bowie-esque performer the key message conveyed to the audience.
The first trailer starts off with Celeste being interviewed about her new music after what we hear are a rough few years. Throughout the trailer we see her dealing – sometimes well and sometimes not so well – with the trappings of fame, offering an inspirational message to her audience while also falling down from apparent excess. There are plenty of hints at danger offered as masked gunmen walk through a building/home and it's clear there will be drama in the mother/daughter relationship as well.
That looks incredibly off-kilter and lots of fun. You get some of the story but really what's being sold here is a look and feel more than anything, all centered around Portman's performance.
The second trailer, released just a couple weeks ago, shows more of Celeste's beginnings and the path she took to stardom. She's shown to be a Madonna-like performer who's facing a lot of obstacles, some of her own making, as she fights for what she feels is hers.
That trailer served not just to sell the movie but also the original song performed by Sia that's part of the story. It also shows a bit more of the relationship between Celeste and her manager, played by Jude Law.
All the usual material can be found on NEON's official website for the movie along with a collection of "Social Assets," clips and GIFs that can be downloaded and shared elsewhere. There are also links to the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
If there's been paid promotions done by NEON I haven't seen them. It's highly unlikely there's been nothing done on this front but nothing that's crossed my radar.
The movie was announced as one of those screening at the Venice Film Festival, news that came shortly before a first look at Portman in the movie was released. First look photos came out a bit after that, before the announcement it would screen at the Toronto Film Festival. A short bit of teaser footage featuring Portman was released via Vanity Fair before Venice got underway.
Both festival screenings generated significant positive buzz for the movies, particularly Portman's performance in it. The actress was interviewed about the logistics of shooting the movie, what she felt was attractive in the role and more around that time.
The reception at Toronto generated some awards speculation while Portman and the rest of the cast talked about the political nature of the story while director Brady Corbet shared what inspired him to make the movie. NEON bought distribution rights during the festival.
The movie was added to the lineup of the Austin Film Festival, where it was programmed as the opening night feature. A screening at AFI Fest was followed by a Q&A where Portman and Corbet talked about the themes of the story and more, including how Corbet compared Celeste to Kanye West.
Portman was the subject of a wide-ranging cover story in Vanity Fair that had her talking about the movie as well as a wealth of other topics, all accompanied by suitably glamorous photos of the actress. She was also interviewed about what drew her to the project and how it fits into her career to date and how the movie allowed her to fulfill a pop star dream while Corbet talked about how casting her really helped bring the story into focus.
Portman is, of course, the main draw here as she's the one who has to anchor the story and sell the egotistical singer she plays in some kind of reality. The campaign makes sure to keep her in front of the camera, showing the kind of range she has to draw on to make Celeste a whole person, not just a caricature.
While the story is at times hard to discern from the campaign, that's actually kind of the point as the confusion that's created helps to sell it as a strange, otherworldly experience that itself is a metaphor for stardom.
Picking Up The Spare
Borget was profiled and interviewed again about how he wanted the story to reflect the attitudes and personality of a generation. Both he and Portman jointly talked about how the story is about the trappings of modern celebrity.
A week or so after the movie hit theaters a clip of Celeste at a press conference was put out alongside the official music video for Sia's "Wrapped Up" original song.
Portman has made the media rounds in the weeks following the movie's released, with appearances on "Late Night" and "The Tonight Show," often focusing on the song of Sia's she performed. She and Law also did one of Wired's fun search-related videos.
There's been a continued focus on the movie's soundtrack, with videos for each song released on YouTube and a new short video showing young Celeste performing the song by Sia hitting as well.

From the first sketch of a designer's pencil and an engineer's finely tuned calculations, through thousands of kilometres of virtual, laboratory and real-world testing, to the manufacturing, assembly and delivery of our vehicles – quality and reliability are ingrained into everything that we do.
It's why we're investing £13m every year in software and hardware for advanced Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). This allows components to be designed faster and more accurately, and tested and optimised for millions of virtual kilometres before they are ever physically created – a process that helps us to save over 1.2 million kilometres of driving and 290 tonnes of CO2 while developing a model.
"State-of-the-art engineering is at the core of Jaguar Land Rover. It is fundamental in providing customers with highly desirable vehicles, giving them experiences they love, for life."
It's why every new gearbox design goes through a continuous 12-week static rig test in our high-tech laboratories, simulating a 10-year, 240,000 kilometre life cycle of driving in a fraction of the time. It's why we take cars to the frozen -40ºC forests of northern Sweden, the +50ºC deserts of Arizona and Dubai, and the high-speed test track at Nardò in Italy, before pushing them for 8,000 kilometres around the challenging Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany – all to check the technology works just as well in the real-world, and give it the final seal of approval.
When a Jaguar is eventually manufactured, it's why the crankshaft of the Ingenium engine is polished to a tolerance of 0.003mm – 6 percent of the thickness of a human hair – to deliver incredible efficiency of up to 3.8l/100km (75mpg) and CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km. It's why cutting-edge lasers and cameras carry out a 168-point quality check on every chassis, with panel gaps checked to an accuracy of +/-0.5mm, before the final Monsoon Test, which drenches it with 6,000 litres of water.
Jaguar Land Rover is combining expert knowledge from high-tech industries such as aerospace and Formula 1™ to revolutionise the way that cars are developed and deliver a level of performance and capability that simply cannot be achieved through traditional processes.

Nervous System Conditions
Can High Cholesterol Cause Headaches and Dizziness?
By Hannah Rice Myers
Hannah Rice Myers
Based in Jamestown, Pa., Hannah Rice Myers has more than 10 years of experience as a freelance writer, specializing in the health industry. Many of her articles have appeared in newspapers, as well as "Curing Epilepsy: Hope Through Research." Rice Myers received her master's degree in nursing from Upstate Medical University in 2001.
High cholesterol itself usually does not cause any symptoms, including headaches or dizziness. But elevated levels of cholesterol can indirectly produce symptoms, especially the so-called bad cholesterol known as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). This occurs because high cholesterol increases your likelihood of developing atherosclerosis, a condition in which cholesterol and other materials accumulate to form plaques along the inside walls of arteries. Atherosclerosis of arteries either leading to or located within the brain can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, which may be accompanied by headaches and dizziness. Do not ignore these symptoms if you have been diagnosed with high cholesterol.
Hypercholesterolemia: A Mostly Silent Disease
A high blood cholesterol level, or hypercholesterolemia, generally causes no symptoms. The excess cholesterol sometimes accumulates in the eyes, eyelids, skin or tendons, but even these accumulations usually produce no symptoms. Deposits in the eye -- called arcus corneae -- appear as a whitish or grayish ring between the colored iris and the outer white part of the eye. Eyelid deposits called xanthelasma appear as yellowish lumps. Both types of deposits can develop when LDL-C levels remain high for a prolonged time, but they also occur in people with normal levels. Xanthomas, which are collections of cholesterol in the skin or tendons, are primarily found in people with severe, hereditary hypercholesterolemia. They appear as lumps in various places, such as behind the ankles, around the knees and elbows, and on the hands.
High Cholesterol as an Atherosclerosis Risk Factor
The major concern with high cholesterol is that it increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis plaques narrow arteries, causing less blood and oxygen to be delivered to the areas supplied by these vessels. Small pieces of plaque can also break away, enter the blood and eventually block blood flow in smaller, downstream arteries. Depriving cells of blood and oxygen causes ischemia, which causes them to malfunction and eventually leads to cell death.
The effects of atherosclerosis depend on which arteries are involved. With cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerosis affects the arteries leading to the brain, such as the carotid arteries in the neck, or arteries within the brain. Cerebrovascular atherosclerosis can lead to various neurologic symptoms, depending on the specific brain area receiving an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen. These symptoms include arm, leg or facial weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking or impaired vision, among others. If the neurologic symptoms last less than 24 hours, the event is called a TIA. If symptoms persist beyond 24 hours, it is called a stroke or cerebrovascular accident.
Cerebrovascular Disease as a Possible Culprit
Headaches and dizziness are also possible symptoms of a TIA or stroke. According to a September 2015 article published in "The Journal of Headache and Pain," headaches occur in about one-quarter of people during a stroke. But this could be an underestimate as headaches may be overshadowed by more obvious neurologic symptoms. It is not entirely understood how a TIA or stroke due to atherosclerosis causes headaches, but leading theories include the release of chemicals from damaged brain tissue, or direct activation of pain sensors in the blood vessel walls because of blood flow changes.
Dizziness may occur with TIAs or strokes affecting areas of the brain controlling balance or blood pressure. Low blood pressure often leads to dizziness. In a study published in "Stroke" in October 2006, 3.2 percent of more than 1,600 adults seen in the emergency room with the main symptom of dizziness were found to have a stroke or TIA. Most individuals with a TIA or stroke had additional neurologic symptoms, and almost three-quarters had at least 2 risk factors for cerebrovascular disease, including hypercholesterolemia, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Medications and Other Diseases to Be Considered
Headaches and dizziness are possible side effects of many medications. Almost all drugs used to treat high cholesterol might sometimes cause headaches and dizziness. These include most statin drugs, such as simvastatin (Zocor) and lovastatin (Mevacor), bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine (Questran) and colestipol (Colestid), as well as ezetimibe (Zetia).
As headaches and dizziness are very common symptoms, their occurrence may be completely unrelated to cholesterol levels. Primary headache disorders, such as migraine headaches, can cause both symptoms. Upper respiratory tract infections or the flu may likewise cause both headaches and dizziness. Less commonly, these symptoms are due to low blood sugar, carbon monoxide poisoning, or an injury, infection, bleeding or tumor involving the brain. High blood pressure alone does not cause headaches and dizziness, but like hypercholesterolemia, it can indirectly lead to these symptoms by increasing the likelihood of developing cerebrovascular disease.
If you have high cholesterol and are experiencing episodes of headaches and dizziness, see your doctor to determine the cause. If these symptoms develop suddenly, seek immediate medical attention as they might signal a TIA or stroke. This is particularly likely if you have any other neurologic symptoms at the same time.
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding ways to lower your cholesterol and reduce your likelihood of developing significant atherosclerosis. General recommendations for decreasing atherosclerosis risk include lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, following a heart-healthy diet and eliminating or reducing other risk factors by stopping smoking, achieving a healthy weight and maintaining normal blood pressure, blood sugar and LDL-C levels. Treatment with medications, usually statin drugs, may also be recommended.

'Reconciliation agreement is pact to destroy Israel'
Reconciliation agreement between Hamas, Fatah will bring Hamas into Judea and Samaria, says Middle East expert.

Senior Hamas leaders greet PLO delegation in Gaza CityFLASH90
Last Thursday, the Hamas terror organization and Fatah faction of the Palestinian Authority signed an agreement on ending a decade-long split following talks mediated by Egypt in Cairo, with Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas calling it a "final" accord.
Under the agreement, the Palestinian Authority is to resume full control of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip by December. According to Middle-Eastern Studies expert Professor Moshe Sharon, the agreement is a mortal danger to Israel, as it will result in Hamas wresting control of Judea and Samaria from the Palestinian Authority.
"There is a reconciliation agreement between two terrorist organizations operating against Israel," Sharon told Arutz Sheva. "It's not like is the people of Ramallah are totally righteous and the people of Gaza are evil. Both factions are virulently anti-Israel."
According to Sharon, the reconciliation agreement will lead to a flood of firearms and other weapons in Judea and Samaria.
"According to the reconciliation agreement, the Gazans can keep their huge arsenal of weapons, thousands of missiles and tunnels. They can now enter the West Bank and establish more Hamas cells and the Palestinian Authority will allow them to operate freely."
"If there are elections in Judea and Samaria, Hamas will win and they can put (Hamas head) Khaled Meshal at the head of the Palestinian Authority. This creates a very dangerous situation. On the other hand, it allows us to act against them as we would against an enemy - and Israel knows how to act against an enemy. "
Professor Sharon called on Israel to deal harshly with the Palestinians. "It is impossible today to go back to what was before the Oslo Accords. These were agreements that were a disaster for the State of Israel. However, that does not mean that we have to keep every word that is written in the agreements," he contended.
"If the Arabs violate the agreement then we can impose sanctions. They would stop the daily incitement in their schools if we shut off their electricity and refused to operate their sewage system" Sharon concluded.

The UCI has been using thermal imaging to check bikes for mechanical doping.
The Union Cycliste International (UCI) has confirmed it carried out a multitude of tests for mechanical doping at the Tour de France, including 164 X-ray tests of race bikes, with all the tests negative.

X-rays, thermal cameras, bike tags part of fight against mechanical doping at Tour de France
The UCI was forced to step up its fight against mechanical doping after French television raised doubts about the validity of the tablet device that was first introduced by former UCI president Brian Cookson when a rudimentary motor was discovered during the 2016 Cyclo-cross World Championships in a the bike of Belgian U23 racer Femke Van den Driessche. She was later banned for six years. The latest advances in mechanical doping are believed to include electromagnetic wheels.
In March, new UCI president David Lappartient announced the UCI had beefed up its strategy to fight mechanical doping, presenting a special mobile X-ray cabinet in Geneva and promising that thermal imaging cameras will also be used. The UCI also introduced a VAR (Video Assist Referee) that studies all the television images of a race that helps the UCI race judges spot any suspicious bike or wheel changes.
"The Union Cycliste Internationale can today confirm that it carried out rigorous testing during the 2018 Tour de France as part of the fight against technological fraud," the UCI said in a press release on Monday. "The tests were carried out using different technologies – magnetic scanning, X-rays and thermal imaging – before, during and after the stages, throughout the three weeks of competition. Every one of these tests came back negative."
Over the three weeks of racing, 2,852 total tests were carried out - at the start of all 21 stages - using magnetic scanning technology, a method introduced by the UCI for the first time at the Tour de France in 2016.
At the end of stages, 164 tests were carried out using X-ray technology. Between five and 10 bikes were tested at each stage, including those of the stage winner and the yellow jersey holder. Further tests were carried out during the stages using thermal imaging cameras."
Cyclingnews observed the testing during the Tour de France and spoke to new head of UCI Equipment Christophe Péraud, who finished second to Vincenzo Nibali in the 2014 Tour de France. The X-ray testing was done with the UCI's specially created mobile unit parked in the protected anti-doping compound near the finish line. Many of bikes tested belonged to the riders selected for anti-doping controls. A special motorbike carrying a manually operated thermal camera was occasionally seen checking riders for mechanical doping during the racing.
The UCI revealed that it began testing a tracker device that can supposedly detect the magnetic fields created by hidden motors. That programme has been created with the Department of Technological Research at CEA Tech (the French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission).
The eventual aim is to develop a 'tracker' that can be placed on all bikes in the peloton. The first test phase, carried out at the Tour de France in collaboration with several teams, involved detecting magnetic signals.
"I would like to congratulate my UCI colleagues and the UCI Commissaires for their effort and involvement over the last three weeks, during which time an enormous number of bikes have been tested," Lappartient said.
"The objective is to eliminate suspicion and to show the public and all of cycling's stakeholders, including investors, that our sport is credible. We will continue to work in this regard, to ensure that cycling's positive reputation is guaranteed."

Driving North Carolina's Highway 12!
C E Roberts
Last weekend I took a trip to the Outer Banks with someone that had never been before. It was so much fun playing tour guide because for me it was like taking a trip home.
I have visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina for more than 40 years. It was one of the first vacation spots my parents ever took me to. The days of staying in old Nags Head and Hatteras are gone. I lean more toward Kill Devil Hills nowadays. The water can be just as rough and cold in July as it is in April but its so relaxing! I love to sit with my feet in the sand and watch the tide roll in. Sunsets over the sound are amazing. Climbing one of the numerous light houses or just checking out the history can make for enjoyable day trips.

One of my favorite jaunts is Oregon Inlet as the fishing boats bring in their day's catch. Oh, how could I forget Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge? A quick boardwalk hike puts you on top of swans, ibis, oystercatchers, willets, snow geese, red heads, canvasbacks, scaup, just to name a few depending on the season. In the summer of 1991, I made my mother ride with me from Hatteras up to the wildlife refuge. The mosoquitos were horrendous and Mom was not amused. It was all worth it (to me) when a pair of black-necked stilts flew over at eye level. Another trip in the winter even let me witness snow covered sand dunes. I could continue my memories for quite a while. If you have never been, here is more information on touring the Outer Banks. If you find yourself on NC Highway 12, enjoy the view!

Home/Trending Topics/White House Watch/Senate Judiciary Overwhelmingly Approves Big Tech Critic Jonathan Kanter To Head DOJ Antitrust Division
Senate Judiciary Overwhelmingly Approves Big Tech Critic Jonathan Kanter To Head DOJ Antitrust Division
Ailan EvansOctober 28, 2021
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved former corporate attorney and Big Tech critic Jonathan Kanter, President Joe Biden's pick to head the Justice Department's antitrust division, in a nearly unanimous voice vote Thursday.
Kanter, 48, was nominated by Biden to head the Department of Justice's (DOJ) antitrust department in July. The Senate Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly approved Kanter, with only Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas voting against the nomination.
Like current Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, Kanter's stance on Big Tech has earned him bipartisan support.
"The biggest problems we face in the tech sector today have to do with the hyper-concentration," said Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who voted to advance Kanter's nomination, during the hearing, approving of Kanter's "understanding that the hyper-concentration in the tech sector is a big problem."
Kanter's nomination will now head to the Senate floor, where he is expected to be confirmed given strong bipartisan backing.
Kanter currently heads Kanter Law Group, which described itself as an "antitrust advocacy boutique" and an "advocacy-focused law firm," the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported. According to Kanter's disclosure forms filed with the Office of Government Ethics, Kanter has received as much as $20 million over from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison LLP, representing clients including Microsoft in lawsuits against major tech companies, including Google.
If confirmed, Kanter will preside over at least one antitrust complaint against Google. A central question to his tenure at the DOJ will be whether he must recuse himself from the lawsuit.
"By any metric, there is no good argument to have Jonathan Kanter do this," Carl Szabo, general counsel at NetChoice, a technology trade organization that includes Apple and Google, told the DCNF.
Szabo argued that Kanter should have to recuse himself in accordance with federal law, citing federal regulations governing appointments which state that nominees may be forced to recuse themselves if they "create an appearance of a conflict of interest likely to affect the public perception of the integrity of the investigation or prosecution."
"Even if Mr. Kanter is able to expunge his thoughts and feelings and prior work, his sheer presence creates the impression of bias, which violates federal statutes, and more importantly, public trust," Szabo said.
A spokesperson for the Office of Government Ethics declined to comment on Kanter, but told the DCNF that nominees who serve as prosecutors against companies they investigate in their role with the government are subject to an in-depth review that will determine if recusal is necessary.

Visitors to Death Valley can observe a remarkable phenomenon: rocks that appear to be capable of sliding along a dry lakebed, all by themselves, leaving paths in the dirt behind them. Unfortunately, there is just one way to see the evidence for yourself: to get to the "Racetrack", as it is known, you must drive down a very long, very bumpy dirt road, into a remote corner of an inhospitable land. I'll tell you all about the rocks on a separate page. This story is all about that drive.
If I had been paying attention the first time, I wouldn't have had to do this drive a second time. Back in 2009, during a visit to Death Valley, I made the drive to the Racetrack. It was brutal — so much so, that when I reached the first parking area at the playa (dry lakebed), I swore that I couldn't take anymore. I got out, looked around, but really didn't see many roaming rocks. And then, I was so anxious to get the drive over with, I left. This was a mistake, because the vast majority of the Racetrack's roaming rocks are at the southern end. I even took a picture of a sign that told me such.
Fast forward seven years, and here I was again, with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, and a desire to do it right this time.
The long, rough ride to the Racetrack begins when you say goodbye to the pavement. This one-way loop road provides access to Ubehebe Crater. Shortly before you get to Ubehebe's parking area, the road to the Racetrack turns off, and the adventure begins.
On my first visit, I was driving something like a RAV-4 mini-SUV. I thought the road was going to rattle it apart. This time, I had a Jeep SUV — not a Jeep Jeep, but still, it was a sturdier vehicle. I didn't worry as much about the vehicle this time, but the drive was still exhausting.
In order to get to the Racetrack, you have to go up to a pass and down the other side. When you get up to the highest point, you'll pass through a nice little Joshua Tree forest.
… most of them customized just for this purpose. All of the teakettles I saw were dated 2015 or 2016, which leads me to believe that the park takes them away after a while, allowing room for new ones. If they didn't, there would likely be hundreds of teakettles here, instead of dozens.
You're already headed downhill when you reach Teakettle Junction, with about six miles to go to the Racetrack (seven miles, if you're going all the way to the southern end, and you darned well better go all the way). The playa begins to appear on the horizon.
For a better look, watch for this obvious side road, which leads up a nearby hill.
While it's imperative you go all the way to the south end of the lakebed, it's also a good idea to stop at the north end. Here, you can walk out on the playa to the "grandstand" — a pile of rocks in the middle. I must tell you, it's a remarkable feeling to walk away from your car and onto the flattest natural surface on earth. I felt very tiny.
There is also a trail at that northern parking area, which leads up to the top of Ubehebe Peak. It's a 3-mile, one-way hike with an 1,800 foot elevation gain. That sounds like a lot of effort, especially in the Death Valley heat. But I'm sure it has a great view of the Racetrack.
When you finally make it down to the southern end of the Racetrack, take another long walk out onto the playa. You'll find the most sliding rocks on the far corner of the lakebed. I'll show you much more on a separate page.
And when you're done, get back in the car and drive all the way back, the way you came. 27 miles of gut-jarring bumps and vibrations. Then call it a day. You earned it.
The Racetrack is absolutely worth the time and effort it takes to see it. But, you need to take this drive seriously. Make sure you have a vehicle that can handle sharp rocks and washboarded surfaces — not just for a mile or two, but for a total of 54 miles, round-trip. Allow plenty of time, and make sure you have plenty of food, water, and a good spare tire in the trunk.

Home DNA testing has become a phenomenon in the past couple years as more and more people are deciding to use the wonders of modern technology to try and answer that eternal question - who am I?
DNA includes the unique genetic code that determines who we are as individuals. A DNA sample can be provided very easily, by spitting in a small tube or even by simply wiping a cotton swab on the inside of your cheek for 30 seconds. Once you've taken your sample, mail it in a secure envelope to the testing company, and just wait for the results.
But what do you do when the DNA test is for your newborn or the baby that's still in your womb? Let's take it one by one.
What Are Prenatal and Baby DNA Tests?
Prenatal DNA tests are a way of establishing paternity before the baby is born. In the past, the only options were to wait until after a baby was born or through an invasive test during pregnancy which could potentially harm the fetus. Today it requires only a simple blood test from the mother and a DNA test from the father in order to get definitive results.
Can I Take a DNA Test When Pregnant?
Yes, and the options are far safer and easier than they were in the past. Companies draw blood from the mother and then extract a DNA profile of the baby from the fetal cells in the mother's blood stream. If you can't get the father to submit a sample, one from his parents can also be used to establish lineage.
Prenatal blood tests can be performed as early as 8 weeks into the pregnancy.
DNA tests performed on a newborn baby don't require a blood test. The sample can be obtained through saliva taken by swabbing the newborn's cheek. In addition to paternity, these tests can search for any indications of genetic diseases that could be a problem down the road.
Prenatal and newborn baby DNA tests are a popular aspect of the DNA test industry, and collecting samples and sending and receiving results are easier than ever through a number of top providers.
How Accurate Are Prenatal and Baby DNA Test Kits?
According to the DNA Diagnostics Center, if a man is the biological father, then paternity can be established with over 99% accuracy. The DDC states that these tests are so accurate that accredited paternity tests can be admissible in a court of law.
Non-invasive prenatal testing of the mother's bloodstream is 99.9% accurate, according to the American Pregnancy Association, and can be performed any time after the eighth week of pregnancy.
Organizations like the APA recommend that women opt for non-invasive testing during pregnancy or waiting until after birth to establish paternity, in order to avoid any complications that could hurt the mother or fetus.
While most companies offer simple tests that can satisfy your curiousity about paternity, if you want one that is admissible in court it typically requires an extra cost.
How Much Do Prenatal and Newborn Baby DNA Tests Cost?
Invasive prenatal testing, either using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, tend to be significantly more expensive than non-invasive methods, costing hundreds of dollars or even over a thousand dollars in processing and collection fees. This is in addition to the cost of the test itself.
Prenatal testing of the mother's DNA is much less expensive, but it remains pricey, hovering around $1200 and even more.
Postnatal DNA testing can be carried out as soon as the baby is born. It entails collecting a DNA sample from the umbilical cord of the baby at or after delivery. The cord blood sample is then taken and compared with that of the father. A cheek swab, hair, or blood sample can also be used.
These tests are then taken and sent back to the company along with a sample taken from the father or the father's parents. These tests are significantly cheaper than prenatal DNA tests, but if you want them to be admissible in court you'll need to pay more.
Why Do a DNA Test on My Baby?
Now that you're familiar with how DNA tests are carried out on fetuses and newborns, it's time for you to decide if you want to go down this path and why. Proving paternity can be an essential step in establishing legal custodianship of a child and a crucial way for you to ensure that the biological father helps in the raising of the baby.
Questions about paternity can cast a dark cloud over a pregnancy and can linger over the young life of a baby long after birth. This is one of the most physically and emotionally difficult experiences that women endure, and having the answers you need can make things easier.
That said, a paternity test can also potentially lead to heartache and trauma. If a loving father and caring partner learns he is not the biological father, it can be devastating, no matter how important the test is.
Despite the emotional consequences that occur in some cases, performing a DNA paternity test on a fetus or a newborn is easier and more affordable than ever. Once you decide what type of test you'd like to take, shop around and find the DNA testing company that will provide you with the cost and customer service that are best for you and then go get those answers you're looking for.


HEAL's Cross-Cutting Module will ensure that lessons learned are captured and synthesized across the HEAL portfolio, for targeted sharing with policymakers and other stakeholders to help inform complex decisions impacting multiple sectors.
The five-year timeframe of HEAL includes compilations of key findings and sharing of "lessons learned" with key stakeholders at a range of relevant scales. Each of HEAL's five country- / region-level research studies involves local health, conservation, and development partners as part of the research design and implementation process, ensuring a local constituency for each project from the start and enabling the development of contextually relevant communications strategies. Scientific information gathered from each of the five studies will be provided to relevant host country decision-makers and beyond as efficiently as possible, in useful time frames and formats.
Collectively, this portfolio of projects represents a unique opportunity to have far greater impacts on conservation and public health practice and policy than any single project could achieve alone. To realize these added benefits, HEAL's Cross-Cutting Module will ensure that synthetic lessons learned are captured and shared. This cross-cutting component will ask over-arching questions about the role that nature plays in human health, questions that cannot be adequately answered solely by individual research projects. For example, a) under what ecological, socio-economic, and market conditions are the "services" provided by nature important, or not, for supporting human health; b) under what conditions might nature conservation be a cost-effective public health investment; c) under what geographic and socioeconomic conditions, in terms of equity, are health-related services derived from nature likely to be the only ones sustainably available, and d) how can the results from these case studies be generalized to inform conservation decisions and policies elsewhere?
