Q: Why would I use NASM over GNU Assembler (GAS)? Why would I use NASM over GNU Assembler (GAS) when GAS supports multiple architectures whereas NASM supports the x86 architecture exclusively? I know that there are syntactic differences, but that doesn't bother me too much.

A: ASM is inherently non-portable.  Only the GAS directives are the same for other ISAs (not instructions or even comment character), and any given asm source file will be for a single ISA.  GAS itself supporting multiple targets is not really relevant, you still have to learn other machines.  (Which is not hard to pick up at least the basics once you know one, but directive syntax differences are generally even easier).  Some other assemblers for other ISAs use NASM-style db and dd data pseudo-instructions, others use Unix-style .byte and .long like GAS (or are GAS).  But that's very easy to adapt to.
GAS was first designed to assemble compiler output; as such its error messages aren't always wonderful for human usage.  (In terms of clarity about what exactly it doesn't like about a line).  NASM tends to be better (but by no means perfect), and modern GAS is generally not bad either; some major projects (like glibc and Linux) have hand-written GAS source files so there certainly is human use of it.
NASM has a macro language (https://www.nasm.us/doc/nasmdoc4.html) that in some ways is easier to use for complex stuff than GAS's .macro macros.  (Although it's common to use CPP macros with GAS).
For microbenchmarking (one of the few reasons to play around with asm by hand these days), NASM has a features that I don't know how to do as easily in GAS: times to repeat one line.  %rep to repeat a block is also useful.  GAS's .rept can do that, but if you want to vary the block (e.g. to unroll and do [rdi+0] / [rdi+4] / ...), NASM is nicer. In GAS you can use a recursive macro that calls itself with a smaller arg, but NASM allows %assign to implement a counter inside a %rep.
    times 10  imul eax,eax        ; repeat this line 10 times

 %rep 10                       ; repeat this block 10 times
    add  eax, ecx
    add  ecx, eax
 %endrep

NASM has very nice syntax for multi-character constants as numbers, e.g. mov rax, 'abcdefgh' / push rax results in those 8 ASCII characters on the stack in source order.  GAS can't do anything equivalent; you need to use raw numbers or stuff like 'h'<<56 | 'g'<<48 | ...
NASM can assemble a flat binary without needing the complication of a linker + linker script.  Mostly only relevant for 16-bit bootloaders, but possibly shellcode.
Until recently, GAS had some bad stuff like add [rdi], 1234 silently defaulting to dword operand size, instead of warning you that it's ambiguous for instructions other than mov.  Recent GAS has fixed that; now it's an error just like in NASM.  (In AT&T mode, GAS just warns, but in Intel-syntax mode it's an error.)

NASM's syntax is 100% consistent about [] - brackets present always means a memory operand, not present means never a memory operand.  (Just to be clear about what I mean, LEA takes a memory operand but doesn't load from it.)  AT&T syntax is also easy to distinguish ($ or not is the difference between immediate or memory), but GAS .intel_syntax noprefix depends on how a symbol was declared.  add eax, foobar could be add eax, imm32 or add eax, [disp32].  Even worse, it depends whether foobar was declared with an equ or = before or after the instruction that uses it, unless you use OFFSET even if you're later doing foobar = 42!!!  Distinguishing memory from constant in GNU as .intel_syntax.
Intel syntax is NASM's primary and only mode, so you can easily look up instructions in Intel's or AMD's manuals.  .intel_syntax noprefix is a secondary feature for GAS, not as well documented as its AT&T.  It does work decently except for the above ambiguity.
And sometimes GNU tools even in Intel-syntax mode (like objdump -d -Mintel) still follow the AT&T syntax bug swapping of some forms of x87 instructions like fdiv vs. fdivr.  If you ever want to use x87, avoid GAS if you can.  See 9.16.17 AT&T Syntax bugs in the GAS manual.  I think modern objdump might "get this right" now, but if I was only using GAS + binutils I wouldn't have something I trusted not to be corrupted by stupid AT&T implementation bugs that GAS had to be bug-compatible with.  Totally irrelevant outside of x87 instructions, so fortunately irrelevant most of the time now.

Sometimes we get comments about how great our "stickers" are and we hear how our customers love to change out their "stickers" with the seasons. We are thrilled that our Stopper Toppers bring joy to the bathroom. However, every now and then we like to re-iterate that our Stopper Toppers are not stickers. They are decorative laminates and while that may seem a bit like semantics, for us and our patents, it is not.
The photo on the left is the bottom of a plastic cup I bought 3 weeks ago at the grocery store. The darn sticker is STILL on there! I have scraped and pulled and wet down the sticker but it will not come off. And the dishwasher seemed to make it stick more.
Our Stopper Toppers™ is on the right. The Bullseye Stopper Toppers has been on my children's sink (so they know where to spit the toothpaste!) for over 2 months. The finish still looks terrific even after tiny hands and much water.
But, the most impressive thing is how simple it is to remove the Stopper Toppers. I simply used my thumb and forefinger to pull up the edge of the Stopper Toppers and the entire thing peeled right off – all in one piece with no residue, no scrapes, no impact whatsoever! As we wait for approval on our pending patent, we wanted to share our "We are not a sticker" story. For us, it's about delivering a high-quality, long-standing product. You deserve more than "just a sticker." You deserve the best Stopper Toppers experience ever.
It's November! The school year is in full swing. Kids are back at school. They spend their days studying (or daydreaming), playing sports (or just playing around) and planning their Halloween costumes and Christmas lists. Parents, on the other hand, are making sure the homework gets done, chauffeuring the kids around town, cheering them on in their games or competitions, and....planning the School Auction.
School Auctions are an amazing feat to undertake. Months of time and energy and amazing creativity go into planning the event. The time, talent and treasure donated by parents, local vendors and teachers is truly awesome! The culmination is a wonderful party where people get to go shopping, socialize and support their children's schools.
The theme is always a big decision! Some of my favorites have been Derby Day, New York, New York, and Diamonds & Denim. This year, our party had a Jungle theme so people came decked out in furs, leather, and amazing animal prints. For the photo shoot, we invited Serengeti Steve aka The Reptile Man who brought a 5 year old alligator, a very large snake and other exotic (an elegant way of saying scary & poisonous) creatures. My kids know that I am freaked out about gators so it was a HUGE step for me to actually hold one and have my photo taken.
Grab Bags - One parent helped us create De Smet Stopper Toppers with the school logo (a Spartan) http://www.desmet.org/ and offered it as part of the Grab Bags that can be purchased at the auction. Fifty lucky families will receive a special Spartan Stopper Toppers for their son's bathroom sink.
School Bookstores and Holiday Boutiques - St. Louis Priory School http://www.stlprioryschool.org/ is selling their custom Stopper Toppers at their holiday boutique and in their bookstore; from which the monies raised go to the school.
Party Favors - …and for the Jungle auction, we placed Animal-patterned Stopper Toppers in lovely decorative tins, on the tables as the party favor for the event. There were lions and tigers and zebras patterns (sorry, no bears) decorating the tables and people took home a great gift to adorn their bathroom sinks.
If you have a favorite school or charity that has an upcoming auction or fundraiser, why not consider making Stopper Toppers a special gift, decoration or give away. With your permission to reproduce your logo, and a vector quality file, we can customize a unique and fabulous item just for you! Contact us at sales@stoppertoppers.com to inquiry about Large Order pricing.
I am learning so much with this new venture. One of my biggest findings came last week when I signed up to work a Holiday Boutique. On my 8 foot table, I had 2 faux sinks, framed photos of decorated sinks, and more than 10 sink stoppers decorated with various Holiday, Logo, Animal Skin, and Sports designed Stopper Toppers™.
Yet, as over 1,000 people walked by that day, very few "got it." I saw many smiling and friendly faces but people had no clue what they were viewing. I quickly realized that just because I live, breathe, eat, sleep, drink and talk non-stop (as my husband would confirm) about Stopper Toppers; not everyone else does.
This is a blessing and a curse. Stopper Toppers are totally new and they aren't on anyone's radar. Most people couldn't tell you what color, shape, or size their sink stoppers are. For me, that is fantastic! I love that we have created and launched a product that is totally unique and has such amazing potential.
The challenge I underestimated is that, as stated above, they are not on anyone's radar so we need to do some serious educating about Stopper Toppers. Luckily, this is Bathroom Décor 101 because we think we can explain this great bathroom product in a few short minutes.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, I would say it's worth 500 words. At the boutique, hanging behind me was a huge banner with photos of sinks decorated with Stopper Toppers. As soon as I directed people to the banner, the response I got was, "ohhh, how clever."
Stopper Toppers™ are a decorative laminate. Please don't call them stickers! They are much more complex than a cheap sticker because they have different layers and a more robust creation process. They are applied, like a sticker, to your existing sink stopper. But, they have features and components that make them more durable and creative than a simple sticker.
When people see them in a sink or on a sink stopper, they think they need to buy an entirely new sink stopper. Once applied, they actually look like part of your sink stopper.
But, Stopper Toppers are so much easier to apply. You simply peel them off the packaging, align and center them on your existing sink stopper, and use your thumbs to spread the Stopper Toppers across the sink stopper. We recommend aligning it from the center and then spreading it out to the sides so as to eliminate any creases. If you go to http://stoppertoppers.hostedbywebstore.com/info/How_To_Apply, you can watch our How to Apply video on the website.
They are easy on and easy off but not re-usable. Stopper Toppers are extremely durable. My happy customer and mother of three commented, "They are fantastic and have lasted through my kid's abuse!" Once they are down, they will last a long time - months even a year or two. But when you want them off, you just get your fingernail under the Stopper Toppers. Once you get a piece of it lifted, you can simply pull it off in one piece. They don't leave any residue and come off whole but they stretch a little and lose their stickiness so they aren't really reusable. Simply toss them when you are done. Then, apply a new one and step back and enjoy!
Absolutely! Pardon the sarcasm here but, OF COURSE! That just wouldn't make any sense to put something in your sink that wasn't. We apply a high-quality laminate coating over the designs that will not only withstand water, but we've tested it in bleach, nail polish remover, cleaning agents and there was absolutely no impact on the finish or color. These laminates are durable and will maintain their amazing look for months, even years. Of course, we hope you will change them out often. Because, each time you do, you will experience a pleasant jolt of excitement and a smile comes across your face as you admire your new sink! How else can you brighten up and transform the look of your bathroom for only $7!
Stopper Toppers are meant to be used for as long as you like and then replaced. They are not re-useable. As you remove them, they may stretch and lose their stickiness so once you pull them off the sink stopper, simply toss them. Then pull out your new Stopper Toppers and quickly cover up that naked sink stopper to create a brand new look for your bathroom!
Officially, the finish on the Stopper Toppers will last up to two years. They have a waterproof, laminate finish, so they will stay put and shine for a long time. But, we recommend changing them out often because it is such a thrill to see the end result when you apply a new one. What better way to transform and beautify your bathroom for under $10 then with Stopper Toppers!
I hope this post answers all your questions about Stopper Toppers, but If not, there is a video on our website, http://stoppertoppers.hostedbywebstore.com/info/How_To_Apply and you can always email us at info@stoppertoppers.com.
If you like what you see, please LIKE US on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Pinterest. Then go to www.stoppertoppers.com and order your own Stopper Toppers so you can see for yourself just how amazingly wonderful they look in your sink. Thanks for helping us to beautify bathrooms everywhere!

The central part of a planet, such as Earth is called the core. The Earth's inner core is a solid 2432 km across, probably formed mostly from heavy atoms such as iron and uranium. Around this is a liquid outer core 2270 km thick made of iron and lighter atoms such as oxygen and sulfur.
Around the core is the mantle.
The Earth's magnetic field is thought to originate in the core. The core is believed to be kept warm by radioactive decay.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Charges were upgraded against a Cobb County teen in the death of her friend.
Police said 17-year-old Abigail Cook was driving under the influence along Johnson Ferry Road earlier this month when her passenger, 18-year-old Alyssa Prindle, hung out of a window, fell out of the car, and hit the pavement.
Prindle was rushed to the hospital. She died Wednesday.
Cook has since been charged with first-degree vehicular homicide.
Officers said she's coordinating with the district attorney's office to determine a time for her to be booked into jail.

Growing up, watching the Smurfs was how I spent most nearly every Saturday morning. I could not wait to see what those adorable blue characters would be up to and how they would get away from Gargamel. I love that my children can grow up with the same characters that I enjoyed as well.
Smurfs The Lost Village will release nationwide on April 7 and we cannot wait to see it. I am looking forward to seeing Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Clumsy and Hefty plus the new addition of a few more ladies in The Lost Village. Smurflily, Smurfblossom, Smurfstorm, Smurfwillow and Smurfmelody are some of the new characters we will see in this new movie. I can not believe that there will be all of these new characters for us to enjoy!
Have a look at the newest trailer below.
Smurfs The Lost Village all starts when Clumsy finds a map and they set off on a fun and exciting adventure through the Forbidden Forest where they meet magical creatures and have new experiences which leads them to the biggest discovery in Smurf history.
I know that we will be looking forward to the funny jokes, songs and beautiful visuals that all of the Smurf movies have to offer.
On the smurfsmovie.com website they have so many fun things for you and your family to do and see. From activities to printable you can even meet the characters. I know that I cannot wait the Smurfberry Pie recipe.
Be sure to head out to see Smurfs The Lost Village opening nationwide on April 7, I know I will be there with my family. For more information about the movie , head over to the website now.

Is Brazos County rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine efficiently?
Brazos County currently has several thousand doses that have not yet been administered. The emergency staff is working on an efficient plan to allocate the vaccines.
Updated: 10:54 PM CST January 5, 2021
BRAZOS COUNTY, Texas — When will the COVID-19 vaccine be available to the general public? Is Brazos County ready to efficiently vaccinate everyone who wants it? Emergency staff for Brazos County said it is working on plans to roll out the vaccine in a timely and efficient manner.
When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, Brazos County health officials said they have vaccinated about 3,000 people in the phase 1A group. But Brazos County currently has several thousand doses that have not yet been administered. Vaccines on the shelf are not happening in all areas in the state, though.
"Some of the areas in the state of Texas are small enough, they've already taken care of that 1A population and so they're moving on to 1B," said Brazos County Emergency Management Coordinator Michele Meade.
The doses on Brazos County shelves are almost enough to cover all in phase 1A, which includes healthcare workers, long-term care facility workers and funeral home workers.
RELATED: Interactive map shows where COVID-19 vaccine has been delivered in Texas
Brazos County Emergency Management and the district 13 TDEM coordinator answered questions in front of the Commissioner's Court Tuesday on why it's taking so long to get through phase 1A in the county.
Health officials said getting the vaccine is not a short process. It is not simply where you walk in and get the shot and walk out.
"Once someone identifies a provider that can get them a dose, then they need to make an appointment, preferably by phone or the internet, to go in and get that dose," Meade said. "It's roughly a 30-45 minutes process because they have to do paperwork. They have to get the shot in the arm. Then they actually have to wait approximately 15 minutes after they get the shot in the arm, to make sure that there aren't any adverse reactions to the shot."
Depending on which manufacturer you get, you will need your second shot after 21 days or 28 days. These vaccines come from the federal government, which allocates them to Texas. Texas then gives those vaccines to providers across the state.
"When allocated to a provider in Texas, in this community, they have one week before they actually get to distribution," said Ponch Gonzales. Gonzales is the TDEM district coordinator for District 13. "The allocation numbers may be at 7,500, but they won't be arriving until next week. So there's going to be that lag time. Brazos County has been allocated 7500, but they've only given 3,000 shots. Well, the other shots may not have arrived yet for distribution."
The emergency staff for Brazos County is already planning for the summer when it expects the vaccine to be available for the public. But for now, the county is working to move forward from Phase 1A.
"Are we 50% done in 1A? Seventy-five percent done in 1A? We're thinking we're 50-75% done in 1A," Gonzales said. "Since this is under emergency use authorization, it's not mandatory and the employer cannot make it mandatory. So anybody who wants a shot has got a shot."
Once everyone in phase 1A who wants one receives the vaccine, then the county can move on to the next phase. Emergency management says they hope the vaccine will be available to the general public by this summer.

Q: How to add new dimension in tensor I currently have following tensor with dimensions [batch_size, channel, width, height] but I want to add one dimension to the above tensors at third index as [batch_size, channel, length, width, height] where length is the dimension that I want to add into my tensor. Length value will be defined as the no_of_iterations for batch size. Can you please tell me how should I add need dimension and set its value.

A: You could not modify your batch dynamically like that. You can hand on with static tensor only. Therefore, you have to make your tensor static at first. Then, you can accumulate the dimension by using tf.expand_dims and choose the axis that you want to expand. Here is 2 as the axis for length.
However, expand_dims just have you to create a dimension. Then you have to duplicate the tensor and tf.concatenate the tensor by axis=2.
However, I want to give you some suggestion, I think you just need to add a loop for each batch training that you want to do inside each epoch. That will be easier and handy than modify tensor like this and reduce the complexity for high dimensions

Study shows only a combination of testosterone therapy and strength training results in an increase in both mechanical muscle function and muscle mass (LBM).
To examine the effect of strength training and testosterone therapy on mechanical muscle function and lean body mass (LBM) in aging men with low-normal testosterone levels in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled 24-week study.
It is well-documented that testosterone levels decline with age in men.
In older men (over 60 years of age), the average rate of decrement in total testosterone levels has been found to be 110 ng/dL every decade.
The objective of this study was to establish the relative importance of aging, health, and lifestyle in contributing to the testosterone decline in aging men.
Prediabetes is a condition in which blood glucose level is higher than normal but does not reach the level for diabetes diagnosis.[1, 2] Studies have shown that people with prediabetes tend to develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years, and are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
Among US adults over 18 years, the prevalence of prediabetes has increased from 29.2% in 1999 to 36.2% in 2010. Considering the entire US population in 2010 (approx. 309 million, data from US Cencus), this corresponds to 112 million US adults, or over one third of the US population.
Data from non-diabetic men have revealed an inverse association between insulin resistance and testosterone levels; i.e. a higher degree of insulin resistance is associated with lower testosterone levels.[4-6] This raises the question whether prediabetes, which is a state of increased insulin resistance, is also associated with low testosterone. However, few studies have investigated testosterone levels in men with prediabetes, and the risk of testosterone deficiency in men with prediabetes has not been reported.
detect men who are likely to have testosterone deficiency and might be at risk for health derangements caused by low-T.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy - why is it so controversial?
For reasons that are not readily apparent, there appears to be a conservative political movement that opposes the use of testosterone in older men. This was clearly demonstrated by the report of the Institute of Medicine, which felt that testosterone is not yet ready for prime time and that there is still a need for studies to prove its efficacy . Along the same lines, the guidelines of the Endocrine Society on testosterone use in older men seem to be ultra-cautious . But fortunately, there are also other, more liberal guidelines and recommendations [3-5].
Probably no other medical issue has been bombarded by the influx of "expert" views from all walks of life; from endocrinologists and psychiatrists to urological surgeons and gerontologists, from the lay press to the regulatory agencies and from the pharmaceutical to the entertainment industries. The dismal result of all this free-for all cacophony of opinions is a great deal of confusion, erroneous information and significant detriment to patients and physicians alike.
This is an abstract from an interesting debate among leaders in the field of Testosterone and Men's Health.
Is there any unequivocal evidence that testosterone (T) can stimulate growth and aggravate symptoms in men with locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer (PCa)?
This is not a controversial point: the answer is yes.
However, this evidence does not imply that PCa is a result of T or therapy with T (TTh) of hypogonadal men.
Does Testosterone Therapy Really Increase the Risk of Heart Attack?
prescription, regardless of cardiovascular disease history. Among younger men below 65 years of age with a history of heart disease, the study reported two to three-fold increased risk of MI in the 90 days following an initial TT prescription.
A 2011 meta-analysis concluded that testosterone replacement therapy improves metabolic control, as well as reduces abdominal obesity. Many studies have shown that testosterone replacement therapy in hypogonadal men increases muscle mass and reduces fat mass.[19, 26-32] Further, adding testosterone (50 mg/day for 1 year, administered as a transdermal gel) to a diet and exercise program results in greater therapeutic improvements of glycemic control and reverses the metabolic syndrome.
Testosterone also has direct (non-obesity mediated) beneficial effects on many metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors [12, 33-37], and reduces death risk independently of body fat status. In line with all these effects, low testosterone levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular complications , and all-cause and cardiovascular disease death [40-42]. Low testosterone may thus be a predictive marker for men at high risk of cardiovascular disease. In a group of men aged 50-91 who were followed for 20 years, it was found that men whose total testosterone levels were in the lowest quartile (241 ng/dl or lower) were 40% more likely to die than those with higher levels, independent of age, adiposity, lifestyle or presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
Thus, treatment of testosterone deficient men with testosterone has demonstrated considerable health benefits. Despite this, critics state that most of the studies on testosterone replacement therapy were too small. They also argue that the studies were of too short duration (most of them lasting 6-12 months), and that the long-term effects of testosterone on body composition are not known.
Thus, the total burden of these diseases is over $660 billion, representing approximately 29% of all U.S. health care expenditures in 2008. Since testosterone deficiency is a potentially modifiable risk factor for these and other medical conditions, it may be responsible for substantial financial and quality-of-life burden on the U.S. health care system.
Testosterone and Diabetes in Men - is there any association?
Low levels of testosterone in men may contribute the development of insulin resistance and diabetes.[1-4] However, few studies have examined the association between testosterone levels and diabetes in men in the general population.
An interesting study was cunducted to test the hypothesis that low normal levels of total, free, and bio-available testosterone are associated with prevalent diabetes in men.

El Fairchild C-82 Packet (que significa "paquete" en inglés) fue un avión bimotor de doble botalón de transporte de tropas, desarrollado por la compañía estadounidense Fairchild Aircraft a finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Fue usado brevemente por las fuerzas armadas de los Estados Unidos, tanto por el Ejército como por la Armada.

Diseño y desarrollo

El C-82 Packet fue desarrollado como avión de transporte táctico y de tropas para reemplazar al Douglas C-47 Dakota y al Curtiss C-46 Commando durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La ventaja del diseño del C-82 Packet era que se podía abrir el fuselaje en la parte trasera mediante dos puertas, que al cerrarse configuraban aerodinámicamente la forma de huso. Sin embargo, el prototipo desarrollado mostró problemas de potencia motriz que tardaron mucho en subsanarse. Tan solo fueron producidos 223 aparatos de la versión C-82 antes de que el Ejército y la Armada estadounidenses perdieran interés, al entrar en servicio el C-119 Flying Boxcar, que mostraba mejores prestaciones. De esos 223 ejemplares, unos pocos fueron empleados como aviones de carga, unos 15 pasaron a la Armada y el resto sirvió como avión de entrenamiento de paracaidistas. Algunas unidades sirvieron en la Fuerza Aérea del Brasil y algunas otras en Honduras.

El más famoso servicio operacional del C-82 fue el que el aparato libró durante el Bloqueo de Berlín, contribuyendo a llevar alimentos a la población alemana superviviente de la posguerra, cercada por los soviéticos.

El C-82 en la cultura popular

En la película El vuelo del Fénix de 1965 , dirigida por Robert Aldrich, un Fairchild C-82 Packet se estrella en el desierto del Sáhara, en Libia. Los supervivientes del accidente se reúnen alrededor de los restos del aparato, intentando sobrevivir con los pocos medios de que disponen (en 2004 se realizó un remake con el mismo título, pero en esta película, el aparato es un Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar, un modelo derivado del C-82 Packet).

Cuatro fuselajes de aviones C-82 Packet fueron adquiridos y usados en el rodaje de la película de 1965. Siguiendo el argumento de la misma, que a su vez se basaba en una novela, de uno de esos fuselajes de C-82 se fabricó un avión monomotor reconstruido, que en la ficción de la película era bautizado como el Phoenix (en español, Fénix) por los personajes supervivientes del accidente. Para los requerimientos del rodaje, el aviador Paul Mantz debía pilotar esta aeronave de fortuna con maniquíes sobre las alas, simulando el despegue de los supervivientes, pero antes de que la escena pudiese ser completada, Mantz murió en un vuelo de pruebas, al colapsar la estructura en el momento del aterrizaje. Como el rodaje estaba prácticamente acabado, se recurrió a un North American O-47A para poder obtener el metraje que faltaba y así poder acabar la película.

Las matrículas de los cuatro fuselajes de C-82 utilizados en el rodaje fueron las siguientes:

 Fairchild C-82A Packet, N6887C (el ejemplar pilotado por Paul Mantz).
 Fairchild C-82A Packet, N4833V (restos para toma de exteriores).
 Fairchild C-82A Packet, N53228 (usado para escenas del interior).
 Fairchild R4Q-1 Flying Boxcar, Bu Nº. 126580.

Rep. Steve King wants to make abortion point in 'softer way'

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rep. Steve King said Friday he stands by his recent comments about rape and incest that sparked bipartisan criticism but acknowledged he could have made his point in a "softer way."
Backed by supporters at a news conference in Des Moines, the Iowa Republican affirmed his belief that abortion should be outlawed with no exceptions for rape or incest. King faced criticism for his comment Aug. 14 that questioned whether there would be "any population of the world left" if not for births due to rape or incest.
The remarks were condemned by numerous groups and individuals, including Republican and Democratic candidates seeking to oust King, Democratic presidential candidates as well as the Iowa Republican Party and Rep. Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in House leadership. Cheney called King's comments "appalling and bizarre."
House Republicans previously stripped King of his committee assignments for his comments about white nationalism.
Although King repeated his claim that his comments were being misconstrued by political opponents and the media, he said he would "rather deliver that in a little softer way."
In an attempt to do that, King recalled the 1946 movie "It's a Wonderful Life" and recounted how the film explored the way one person's life touches many others through time and what would happen if one individual had never been born.
Comparing the movie to his comments about abortion, King said, "It was an objectively honest and accurate statement but I think it was willfully misinterpreted."
King was supported by several people representing groups opposed to abortion rights, including Rebecca Kiessling, a lawyer who leads a group called Conceived in Rape.
Kiessling, who said she was conceived when her mother was raped at knifepoint, said she appreciated King's effort to write legislation seeking to outlaw abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
"Congressman King has been the most pro-life congressman, legislator in D.C.," she said.
J.D. Scholten, who is seeking the Democratic nomination in the 4th District, has chided King for not focusing on issues most vital in the sprawling, largely rural districts, such as low commodity prices and a poor rural economy.
After King's news conference, he tweeted, "What Steve King consistently leaves out are the victims of rape and incest, and the physical and emotional trauma that are a part of that. When he pushes his unconstitutional and freedom restricting ideology, he devalues the trauma experienced by these survivors."

Will Clay Holmes Be The Yankees Closer In 2023?
Their greatest possibility to upgrade is in left field, where Aaron Hicksis at present penciled in as the 2023 starter. The 33-year-old's seven-year, $70 million deal runs via 2025, but that could be a sunk price for the Yanks after Hicks place up an 83 OPS+ with 12 homers in 162 games more than the past two seasons. Soon after days of tossing his bat aside at an unappetizing buffet of sliders and fastballs outdoors the strike zone, Judge saw a handful of pitches to hit on Sunday. None were place in play facing Baltimore starter Kyle Bradish, Judge struck out hunting in the 1st inning, whiffed in the third, then worked a 5-pitch stroll in the fifth to extend his on-base streak to 30 games. Bader collected at least a single hit in each and every of the four ALCS games.
This resulted in a wRC+ of just 3, and even though he still worked walks and made contact, hit BABIP took a enormous hit. And, of course, when the Yankees did this in the early 2000s — and were roundly mocked for "buying championships" — it turned out they hadn't bought anything at all. These massive-spending and bloated Yankee teams flamed out of the playoffs year soon after year, ruined a very good thing, and had been accountable for the worst postseason choke in MLB history. Higher requirements for the Mets to reside up to in the disaster division.
Sending him to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a package constructed about MLB-ready outfielder Alek Thomas and prospects would address a a lot more glaring region of want. That is Cleveland's fifth run of the postseason and their 1st on something other than a homer. Cortes is back out to commence the fifth, although Trivino is prepared in the bullpen.
Right after a down year at the plate, "I do feel he's got a different major offensive season in him,'' Boone said optimistically of Donaldson, entering his age-37 season. Soon after Jordan Montgomery's departure by way of trade to St. Louis last summer time, the Yanks could use yet another lefty in their rotation. Adding to the rotation could possibly not be a pressing pinstriped need to have, but the injury history of Luis Severino and Frankie Montas suggests the will need for a different massive arm.
For Senga, he had no posting fee for the reason that he opted out of his contract with his Japanese team. So this is a good $15 million AAV for a possible best-end starter (though Senga got an opt-out clause soon after Year 3). Cashman referred to teams enlisting nearby celebrities to woo a player and throwing out the "red carpet." But Judge most likely wouldn't be wowed by any stunt a franchise he has spent his whole career with could pull. Cole, 32, led the majors in strikeouts and games began last season, but he also gave up an AL-high 33 residence runs.
The Astros are the new Yankees, even though the Bronx Bombers have develop into the old Red Sox. The New York Yankees, after once more, crashed and burned their way out of the ALCS just a week ago. For numerous franchises, a trip to the Championship Series and sustained playoff appearances would be observed as a victory. But for an organization that has stuck by the "Championship or nothing" mentality, the 2022 season seemed like a failure. That permitted more bonuses Straw to take second base and move into scoring position, igniting the rally that would finish up costing the Yanks the game. A subsequent single by Gabriel Arias ended Severino's outing right after 106 pitches, and his replacement, reliever Lou Trivino, gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Will Brennan, keeping the Guardians hot on the Yanks' pursuit.
We know how fantastic the Yankees have been so far this season, at least when they're not playing their individual Bogey Guys, which suggests the Astros. Don't go placing these Yankees in the similar category however as the 1998 Yankees, one particular of the greatest teams of all time. But as we strategy the quarter pole of the season, the Yankees, with out an clear flaw, are the class of baseball so far this year. That the Yankees can hit is no surprise, not with two MVPs and 10 All-Stars. The only feasible knock is they field the oldest group of hitters in baseball (30.7 on typical), even though Boone's "load management" policy appears to have that in order.
At times, you need to look beyond the statistics to see improvement, and in the Yankees' case, it begins with culture. Amid the recent altercation in between Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson and Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, Judge demonstrated leadership when stressing the importance of accountability. He expressed disappointment in Donaldson's actions but cautiously chose his words. Judge's displeasure was evident, but he still identified a way to commend Donaldson for getting accountable and allowing the ball club to move forward with no additional distraction. Judge deftly navigated a tough predicament which could have fractured a fragile clubhouse's culture.
"The robot broke the child's finger," states Sergey Lazarev, president of the Moscow Chess Federation, adding, "This is, of course, terrible." The robot is instantly hired as director of consumer relations by the U.S. airline business. … Johnny Depp wins his historic defamation lawsuit, with the jury ordering Amber Heard to repay the 783 billion person-hours the American public wasted watching the trial. The verdict unleashes a wave of thoughtful media think pieces the likes of which the nation has not noticed given that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.
This was Severino's third commence since coming off the 60-day IL with a low-grade ideal lat strain. The 28-year-old had been extremely open about his disappointment when the Yankees, needing to make several roster moves, transferred him to the 60-day IL in the beginning of August soon after initially being placed on the 15-day IL. "The selection would have been if he was through eight at that point," Boone stated. That's the type of offense we have and the sort of team that we have, so we didn't definitely think a lot of it. They just did a seriously excellent job handling him, since I've faced him a lot of times and it's not simple to hit off that guy.
The Yankees are not necessarily a perfectfit for Reynolds, contemplating they currently have Harrison Bader in center field, but it is no surprise New York is displaying interest. Reynolds could serve as New York's left fielder, an upgrade from Aaron Hicks or infielder Oswaldo Cabrera, the ideal internal choices for the Yankees at the position with the way their roster at present stands. The option would be to sign a totally free agent to fill that hole, an readily available asset like Andrew Benintendi, Brandon Nimmo or Japanese star Masataka Yoshida. Alongside Judge, they also re-signed Anthony Rizzo and brought in left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon. They will come into the 2023 season with one particular of the toughest beginning rotations in the league.
The ball hit at the base of the wall and went to center fielder Tim Locastro, who threw to second baseman Gleyber Torres. Torres' relay to catcher Kyle Higashioka beat a sliding Nolan Gorman to prevent a run. In the fourth, Josh Donaldson hit a really hard grounder to Arenado at third base. Arenado dropped down to one particular knee to catch it and then threw to 1st to rob Donaldson of a hit. In the eighth, ideal fielder Lars Nootbaar laid out flat to make a diving catch with his glove on the grass to prevent Higashioka from acquiring a hit with a runner on initially and just one out.
The ending to Matt Carpenter's 2022 season with the New York Yankees was abject proof that baseball, like life, isn't fair. Just after Carpenter and his WB Mason mustache rejuvenated his profession with one of the hottest summers on record, the group rushed him back from his foot fracture only to acquire a piteous playoff run for their efforts. In order for Difo to be regarded for an chance in pinstripes, the Yankees would have to have to be battling a heavy dose of adversity. New York currently has a logjam of infielders, with prospects Oswald Peraza, Anthony Volpe and Oswaldo Cabrera positioning themselves to earn playing time in the Bronx during a spring instruction competitors.
"Unless they got an influx of younger players, I never know if the older guys can play any longer," Ron Guidry joked. "But, if they have , I am certain the crowd would like it, so we'll have to see what occurs more than the subsequent couple of years." Nonetheless, Boone said he hasn't sensed any self-confidence troubles amongst his players. "Just to remind them that we got all the things in that space to get via this and realize the aim to getting a champion — that is where the concentrate lies and is."

Software // Information Management
Doug Henschen
Why The CDO May Steal The CIO's Lunch
Bad news, CIOs: Businesses continue to hire chief digital officers and chief data officers to solve two imperatives: creating new value from data and managing data risk. Beware this power shift.
There are three important business imperatives in information management, and most CIOs only address one of them: managing the cost and operational efficiency of IT infrastructure.
The other two imperatives -- creating new value from information and managing data risk -- are increasingly being taken on by two emerging roles: chief digital officer and chief data officer, says Debra Logan, a VP and analyst at Gartner.
The new roles, which were discussed at October's Gartner Symposium, are emerging because the current generation of CIOs have mostly focused on efficiency, says Logan. What's more, the very structure of reporting to the CFO or COO almost guarantees a cost-focused, rather than innovation-focused, approach.
The roles of chief digital officer and chief data officer are being created specifically because businesses have recognized glaring gaps in addressing the other two important business needs. Retailers, media giants, and Internet businesses are among the firms tending to appoint chief digital officers because they need somebody to look at information as an asset and a driver of new opportunities.
[Read more about this shift: Will CDO Steal CIO's Leadership Role?]
"It's about innovation and asking questions like, 'Can we sell this data or create a new businesses based on information that we're not currently using?'" says Logan. "CIOs typically haven't been asked to do innovation."
Chief data officers are being appointed by banks, insurance companies, drug giants, and telecommunications companies that have recognized that governance, compliance, discovery, and privacy challenges aren't being adequately addressed. The corporate lawyers, risk officers, and even CEOs at these firms have seen too many instances in which the company couldn't respond to regulators or was stung in legal cases in which it couldn't produce information that was subject to legal discovery.
"They're starting to ask the question, 'how do we fix it, how do we stop spending money on it, and how do we get these guys off our backs?'" Logan explains.
If firms are lucky they have records managers, SharePoint administrators, or master data management programs in place that have at least attempted to address important information management challenges, but these programs are too limited and the roles to powerless to adequately address governance and compliance challenges.
"The chief data officer makes sure that the information is accessible, managed and governed in an orderly way, and it requires policy decisions and decisions about what information has value," says Logan. "CIOs typically can't tell you what kind of rights the company has around data, how it can be collected, how it can anonymized and what rules apply to the use of data."
It's early days for the chief digital officer and chief data officer roles, with only about 6 percent to 7 percent of firms having created one of these roles, according to Gartner's research. But the firm's data also shows that within the next year, 19 percent of firms surveyed expect to appoint a chief digital officer, while 17 percent expect to appoint a chief data officer.
So where does that leave CIOs? Increasingly marginalized in a cost-control role, according to Logan.
"If I were under 45 and in IT, I would think really hard about what I want to do with the rest of my career because CIOs are going to be left running the infrastructure, and almost everything they manage is going to be outsourced," Logan says.
It doesn't have to be this way and there are CIOs who have managed to be much more than cost cutters, Logan acknowledges, "but you have to make a conscious decision to move in a new direction," she says. "You can't expect somebody to come down the hall and say, 'You're the chief digital officer now.'"
Taking on a wider, innovation- or governance-centric role requires that you understand these imperatives or can at least hire the right people to create a capable innovation or governance organization that reports to you.
"If you don't, somebody else is going to be serving in those roles in parallel with you," Logan concludes.

Re: CDOs and CIOs must work together
Doug, I was at the TechTomorrow in Columbus this week and heard author Chris Potts lay out where he thinks the CIO will evolve: into the executive in charge of Enterprise Investment. He also predicted the CMO will evolve into Chief Experience Officer, guiding all customers touchpoints. On chief digital officer, he argued companies need to work that out of their system quickly, a short-term role, because that can't be a separate thing.
11/15/2013 | 11:54:10 AM
A CIO By Any Other Name ...
Who cares if we keep the CIO title? The role of leading smart, effective investments in technology will remain, regardless what we call that person. I'd be surprised if the "digital" role remains a separate entity for long.
D. Henschen,
CDOs and CIOs must work together
Forgive the alarmist headline, but we're trying to get your attention, Mr. CIO. As with the CMO vs. CIO discussion of the last 12 months, the truth is it's important to work together. Where companies have created the CDO position -- either digital officer or data officer -- it's a good thing that the organization has recognized that there are concerns that are not being addressed.
With the above being said, it wouldn't hurt CIOs to get out ahead of this need and be the one to create the position where it doesn't exist already -- at least in the case of chief data officer with retention, governance and risk responsibilities. Cheif Digital Office is another matter. I don't see CIOs having the clout to define and oversee that role.

Jamie Newman: Future Bulldogs share their thoughts on the new Georgia QB
By: Jeff Sentell DawgNation
Published: January 14 2020 4:04 PM
Jamie Newman is expected to be in classes this week at Georgia. The former Wake Forest Demon Deacon should certainly now contend for the starting QB position at UGA with his final season of college eligibility.
DawgNation has written a lot about Newman's impact since his graduate transfer plan became official, including the neat little oddity that the Georgia logo and team colors are the same as what he wore back in high school .
What sort of impact will he have on the Georgia program? Well, his playing style as a true dual-threat quarterback will be something different. The Bulldogs haven't had a starter with his ability to make plays with his legs since D.J. Shockley led the team to an SEC title in 2005.
DawgNation reached out to the members of the 2020 class at Georgia to see what they thought here about the move. Those are going to be the only future Bulldogs in the program who will get to play with him.
What did they think?
Chad Lindberg (4-star OL signee) : "Looks like a good pickup. I'm excited for the future of this team."
Nazir Stackhouse (4-star DT signee) : "I honestly think it is a blessing to him and an honor for UGA to have him as our QB for 2020. We list [Justin Fields] but we definitely have faith in [Newman] and he will be supported as long as he stays."
Mekhail Sherman (5-star LB signee) : "Hope he brings us a natty," said Sherman while admitting he doesn't know much yet about Newman. "I just want to see him develop."
Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (4-star OL commit) : "Seen him on YouTube," Van Pran-Granger said. "Dude has a canon and a nice set of wheels."
Devin Willock (3-star OL signee) : "That's a big-time move," Willock said. "After the rumors came about I started watching his highlights and he's a great QB that would definitely fill the role of Jake Fromm if not surpass it. Transfer QBs just got an edge to them so let's see if it holds true."

Arik Gilbert: His thoughts on what UGA is building
There was a chance earlier this month to chat with 5-star LSU signee Arik Gilbert this month out at The All-American Bowl in Texas.
Gilbert is a solid interview and he already shared his honest take about why he didn't choose Georgia . He suffered an injury at that event, but is already enrolling early at LSU.
He touched on several topics that pertain to Georgia. What he had to say on subjects like Jermaine Burton, Darnell Washington and Kelee Ringo was highly interesting. Especially since he knows or has some sort of relationship or connection to all of those guys.
And if we're being honest, he was also one of the most important targets for Georgia's 2020 recruiting efforts at this time a year ago. He was a teammate for several months with Burton and also got to know Ringo and Washington very well during their interactions and outright competition alongside one another at prospect camps.
Here's what he had to say on the following subjects:
1) Jermaine Burton: "He is just going to be great," he said. "A great addition to the receiving core. I mean I wish he was with us (at LSU) but I mean I feel like he will do great things down there at Georgia, too. Especially with the opportunity to come in right there at receiver."
He did want to see Burton remain with the LSU program, but Georgia pulled off the late flip.
"I feel him though because it is a better opportunity for him there at Georgia," Gilbert said. "That's what I think. Lot of room to come in and play early."
Burton's decision was largely about coming back home to play in front of family in the state of Georgia.
"I feel that about him because basically his whole entire high school career he's been out of Georgia," Gilbert said. "It moved him everywhere. I remember he was at Marietta but they told him he couldn't play right away in Georgia so he had to go somewhere else for his last two years of high school. So that's why he had to move to California. So I understand why he would want to come back home."
2) Darnell Washington: "Man, I think that will open a lot of stuff from what that they were showing they were doing with the offense and tight ends last year with me," Gilbert said. "I know they are going to be able to use him in a different way like they were going to be able to use me."
He found it to be "crazy" how Washington at UGA will now be able to show future prospect's things that he was hoping to see on the field. Not just projected or schemed up on the board.
"I was just thinking about that," he said. "It was just like closer to National Signing Day it just seems like they got all kinds of great offensive players out of nowhere. It will be interesting to see what they do in the future."
3) 5-star CB Kelee Ringo: "Kelee. That's my boy. Definitely a lockdown rocker. Georgia already has those but I mean everyone needs more. You need a lot of corners, true, to deal with these offenses today. I guess that means Georgia is getting one step closer."
"I love the competition with him. He loves it, too. As a player, you can just tell by that what type of person and player he is going to be."
"When you are that big and are running a 4.3 [in the 40] then you can play whatever position in the secondary that you want to. That's what I see and then his technique is off the charts, too."

The Herd performs the infamous "airball" chant during a game against SWOC rival Talawanda.
In the northeast corner of the Ross High School gym, a sign reads "home students". Under that sign, one of the best student sections in Ohio resides.
The Herd was asked to attend a school board meeting in the RHS Media center On Jan. 31. However, Ross administration had a little surprise up their sleeve.
The announcement shared that The Herd was one of thirteen student sections nominated for the Golden Megaphone, an award which "recognizes student sections across Ohio that cheer loud and positive for their teams." RHS Assistant Principal Emily Doblinger described her reaction when hearing about The Herd's recognition.
"Of course. For three years I've watched it expand, and it's a good testament to all of you as kids for what you're putting out there and the message is really good," stated Doblinger.
Doblinger, who came to Ross before the 2016-2017 school year, noticed how Herd attendance has risen since.
"In my three years here I don't think we have had that many kids come out every week, home or away, I mean, we have a student section at every game. That's been very powerful and inspiring," said Doblinger.
On Friday, Jan. 18, at a boys Varsity basketball game, Ross students broke a Herd attendance record in a USA & Military out against conference rival Harrison, to honor service members in both communities. Ross fans came out in full force.
"That was definitely my favorite out of the season. We had a couple sophomores that went all out and painted their bodies. We had a lot of people there, it was a really good, fun time," said Herd leader Whitley Arno.
Arno spent both the football and basketball seasons in the front row of The Herd. She was integral for producing chants, coming up with outs for each and every game, and keeping the spirit and passion of The Herd at its highest level.
"Whitley kept The Herd exciting and high energy. There is no one else better for the job," said senior point guard Isaiah Brinck.
"I think she did great, it's a very tough job getting kids to participate, and keeping that situation from getting chaotic, in a very chaotic environment," said RHS principal Brian Martin.
Arno's and the rest of The Herd's passion may branch farther past the 2018-2019 season, Its impact more meaningful than any Golden Megaphone.
"It's a breath of fresh air, not only as a board member, not only as a former coach, but more importantly as someone who has a kid in the elementary system of this district, it's where you want to be," said RLSD board member, and former varsity basketball coach Sean Van Winkle.
On March 22, Herd representatives will travel to Columbus for the final decision on which school will win the Golden Megaphone. The announcement will be made during halftime of the Boys Basketball State Championship. There is no doubt The Herd put its best foot forward this season, setting an example for Ross students in the future.


The Secret Journal of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala: Will Someday Please Explain What This Stupid Song Is Supposed To Mean?
Will Someday Please Explain What This Stupid Song Is Supposed To Mean?
Ever since I met Fake Jhunjhunwala (who I plan to have executed) 4 months ago, I have consistently dedicated my efforts to realizing the meaning of the world's greatest conundrum. My superior intelligence has been confounded by just one thing and one thing only in the last few months. It has occupied me day and night. Night and day. Afternoon also.
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DOES ISHQ WALA LOVE MEAN?
I Have seen this song on TV from the film 'Student of the Year' and it has frazzled my mind ever since.
I know that Wala is a suffix as in JHUNJHUNWALA.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN?WHAT IS A LOVE WALA LOVE?
I am asking the director of this film Mr.Karan Johar what the bloody hell is ISHQ aka Love being used for in a song title already having the word LOVE?
I even saw a young person writing the name of this song as ISHQ WALA LUV.I have immediately directed all my marketing companies to attract the youth market by changing the spelling of LOVE to LUV.
SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY THE FIRST WORD AND THE LAST WORD MEANING THE SAME THING IN TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ARE BEING USED TO MAKE NO BLOODY SENSE!
If this is a film about students then I am very very shocked. I am worried about our education system.I plan to write a letter to our HRD Minister The Hon-Her-able KAPIL SIBAL and seek a proper explanation though I am sure Sibal will tell me that Ishq and Love both have zero loss.
ONE OTHER Question.In a song about LOVE in a film about Students WHY ARE THE PEOPLE DANCING IN FRONT OF A BURNING TREE?
