Q: How to fix the Spell check exception All checkers need to use the same Analyzer (Solr 5.3.1) All, I am trying to apply the spell check in the Solr 5.3.1.
Currently Solr 5.3.1 already includes the SpellCheckComponent. which looks like below .
<searchComponent name="spellcheck" class="solr.SpellCheckComponent">
        <str name="queryAnalyzerFieldType">text_general</str>
        <lst name="spellchecker">
            <str name="name">default</str>
            <str name="field">text</str>
            <str name="classname">solr.DirectSolrSpellChecker</str>
            <str name="distanceMeasure">internal</str>
            <float name="accuracy">0.5</float>
            <int name="maxEdits">2</int>
            <int name="minPrefix">1</int>
            <int name="maxInspections">5</int>
            <int name="minQueryLength">4</int>
            <float name="maxQueryFrequency">0.01</float>
        </lst>
        <lst name="spellchecker">
            <str name="name">wordbreak</str>
            <str name="classname">solr.WordBreakSolrSpellChecker</str>
            <str name="field">name</str>
            <str name="combineWords">true</str>
            <str name="breakWords">true</str>
            <int name="maxChanges">10</int>
        </lst>
</searchComponent>

But When I tried to consume this function. like this.
http://10.2.21.38:7574/solr/gettingstarted_shard1_replica2/spell?q=%E7%94%B2&wt=json&indent=true
I got response with exception said
All checkers need to use the same Analyzer
I also tried to search some solution from the internet. and found some solutions like below .
Solr 4.0 How can I change the spellchecker analysers so they are all the same?
Solr spellcheck: cannot show result, always receiving same error
So I tried to follow the answers to change these fields to the same one.
<str name="field">text</str>
<str name="field">name</str>

to the same field
like this .
...
<str name="field">EntryCNName</str>

....
<str name="field">EntryCNName</str>

which is defined in the schema.
<field name="EntryCNName" type="text_ik" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
the field type definition is
<fieldType name="text_ik" class="solr.TextField">
    <analyzer type="index" isMaxWordLength="false" class="org.wltea.analyzer.lucene.IKAnalyzer"/>
    <analyzer type="query" isMaxWordLength="true" class="org.wltea.analyzer.lucene.IKAnalyzer"/>
</fieldType>

But unfortunately still got the same error. Could someone please help to figure out what does it mean for this error ? How to fix it ?
Thanks.
Upated
I make something progress.
I found the <str name="field">xx</str> defined in the searchComponent should defined in the schema. and in the requestHandler .the xxx of the <str name="spellcheck.dictionary">xxx</str> should be from the spellchecker name.
for example in my case they are default and wordbreak.
So I change my configuration like below.

At that time, Jesus was teaching in the temple every day, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet. And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him. Now the feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death; for they feared the people. Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve; he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. And they were glad, and engaged to give him money. So he agreed, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude. Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it."

Aniar is a terroir based restaurant located in Galway's West End. The word terroir is usually associated with wine-making: the combination of factors, including soil, climate, and environment, that gives a wine its distinctive character. In the case of our restaurant, we use the word in order to describe the way in which our food comes from the specific place that is Galway and the west of Ireland. We hope to reveal the distinct and various food stuffs that make up our particular landscape, through our farms, the wildlands and the shores that surround us. The natural course of the seasons will dictate our ever-changing and evolving menu.
Owned and operated by JP McMahon and Drigín Gaffey, who also own Cava Bodega and Tartare Café + Wine Bar, Aniar was awarded a Michelin Star for 2013 - 2019. This supreme culinary achievement recognises the restaurant's effort to pursue innovation through the prism of traditional techniques of preservation.
Aniar also runs a Boutique Cookery School. The School offers one-day workshops as well as six-week classes. The classes run by JP McMahon offer both demonstrations and hands-on experience. Click on the link below for more information.


Sharon Drew Morgen » Visionary or crackpot, change agent or disruptor. What's the difference?
Visionary or crackpot, change agent or disruptor. What's the difference?
I'm co-authoring an article for a prestigeous magazine with a colleague who has followed my work for years. Now that he's retired, he's happy to buck the system and introduce my material, which flies in the face of the commonly accepted precepts of his field of change management, systems, and OD.
As we start our new collaboration, the big question is: "What has stopped me from publishing in this magazine before now?" We both knew the answer: My work has not been acceptable because it goes against the field's beliefs. Is it now time? We don't know the answer. But if we're going to try, we know we have to walk a line between making it palatable for the masses while not discarding my innovative precepts.
That all brings up a larger question that has no real answer: Why is it that so many creative geniuses end up dead, with one ear, before they are recognized? What is the difference between them and those who thought they were visionaries, and died without leaving any mark at all? And how do some visionaries get recognized – albeit after a decade or two – while still alive?
We know that change creates defense: not because of the proposed change itself, but because of the system of rules and relationships and expectations and assumptions that get built around the status quo to keep it in place so it can function.
In the field of sales, objection handling, closing techniques, prospecting programs are a few of the work-arounds created to make up for a failed model – with the assumption that they are necessary (as is the lower-than-necessary close rate). Over the past 20 years, my clients have not had to handle objections, their prospects closed quickly and with no techniques, and a higher percentage of prospects were vetted appropriately.
Magic? No – we just added the missing pieces to the sales model and the problems disappeared. But it goes against the accepted 'wisdom' in the field and hence unacceptable for over 20 years.
I always found it funny when my clients' colleagues looked at what we were doing, and found it 'crazy' as we closed 800% more than them (we were obviously 'lucky'). But they would rather scorn and deride rather than be curious. They were safe in their mediocrity. Plus they had the numbers on their side: everyone else shared their problems.
That's the deal with change agents and visionaries. We are disruptors. We make it necessary for something new to enter, usually at the expense of uprooting the old and making the old seem almost irrelevant. Are we crazy? Of course. Crazy because we are willing to take the hit and buck the system and be ignored or made fun of or put down by those that are part of the accepted norm.
But the saddest part is that some visionaries aren't able to hold on long enough to get their thinking into the mainstream. And it's so so so dark for so many years, with absolutely no guarantee that the world will accept the proposed change. And we are absolutely nuts for hanging on to a dream – sometimes with no money, certainly often with no feedback – that the world really can be a better place.
I wonder how well people well-known in the mainstream can entertain possibility for those of us with really good, albeit different, ideas?
I propose that everyone take on Buddhist precepts. I propose that we all enter every moment with Beginner's Mind, with everything possible, and everyone worthy of respect.
There are think tanks that run ideation sessions for companies to be in proximity to brains that think out of the box. Why can't we all start our day with wonder, waiting for the next new thing, and then the next, and then the next? Why can't we search for new ideas? Why not have a website devoted to innovative ideas?
Imagine if folks got curious over the last 20 years when I mention that buying facilitators perform between 400-800% over the control group using 'sales.' The entire field of sales would have changed 20 years ago, and we would be operating entirely different companies: with fewer sales people, less travel expense, different marketing, and far more revenue, and products and services much more matched with customer's needs.
Imagine if innovators were seen as folks to be respected and treasured – when they are thinking their new ideas, not when they have finally been 'recognized' and their ideas BECOME the mainstream.
Imagine. Then look around for some innovators that you can offer a hand to. It might just be the beginning of a new idea.
I appreciate your site. Thank you for your insights and guidance. In the midst of the financial crisis, there's a lot of bashing and cynicism towards performance recognition and inspirational efforts in the workplace (these are the real crackpots… calling the kettle "crack"). Just check any bar in lower Manhattan! It's a shame.

Q: Как сделать таймер в Android Всем добрый день, пишу свое приложение и в нем есть таймер. Раньше я делал это через Handler. С помощью метода post обновлял и смотрел время, а в время засекал через System.currentTimeMillis(), но это был секундомер, сейчас мне понадобился таймер, хотел пойти тем же путем, но мне кажется это не эффективный и не правильный способ. Подскажите пожалуйста, что лучше использовать для таймера.

A: Гуглится на раз два.
Вот несколько вариантов, выбирай:
TimerTask
CountDownTimer
java.util.Timer
Вот пример CountDownTimer
 new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);

Beauty In The Picture Of Dorian Gray
1001 words - 5 pages
In Oscar Wilde's novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, beauty is depicted as the driving force in the lives of the three main characters, Dorian, Basil and Lord Henry. Dorian, the main character, believes in seizing the day. Basil, the artist, admires all that is beautiful in life. Lord Henry, accredited ones physical appearance to the ability of achieving accomplishments in life. Beauty ordains the fate of Dorian, Basil, and Lord Henry. The novel embodies the relationship of beauty and morality. Beauty is not based on how attractive an object is to everyone, but how attractive it is to one.
Dorian Gray's life is dictated by his physical appeal. His beauty lies within his youth. Dorian's ...view middle of the document...
But, as he destroys the picture, he kills himself, and the picture is cleansed and beautiful again.
Basil's life is also driven by beauty. He is infatuated with Dorian's beauty in the beginning. He appreciated Dorian's beauty but did not wish to possess it for himself. Basil exclaims, "When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale... I knew that I had come face to face with someone whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself." His love for Dorian changed the way he perceived art. Basil eventually paints a portrait of Dorian to capture his beauty forever. Basil's portrait marks a new phase in his career. Once he has painted Dorian, he fears that he has put too much of himself into the work. Basil reluctantly introduces Dorian to Lord Henry, who he fears will have a damaging influence on Dorian. He admits, "Yes, that is his name. I didn't intend to tell it to you." Basil is later envious of the relationship between Lord Henry and Dorian. Lord Henry upsets Dorian with a speech about the transient nature of beauty and youth. Basil, wishing to protect and defect him, voices his objection to Lord Henry's influence over Dorian. Dorian felt Basil had come to realize his true personality and that he would bring it to someones attention. Basil is murdered by Dorian. The murder of Basil marks the beginning of Dorian's end. He cannot overcome the realization that he killed his friend.
Lord Henry is captivated by the beauty that others see in Dorian. Lord Henry argues, "Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil." Lord Henry cherishes Dorian's beauty. With Dorian's beauty anything can be achieved, in the eyes of Lord Henry. He discloses to Dorian that his...

Home, The Movie
In the past 200,000 years, humans have upset the balance of planet Earth, a balance established by nearly four billion years of evolution. We must act now. It's too late to be a pessimist. The price is too high. Humanity has little time to reverse the trend and change its patterns of consumption.
Through visually stunning footage from over fifty countries, all shot from an aerial perspective, Yann Arthus-Bertrand shows us a view most of us have never seen. He shares with us his sense of awe about our planet and his concern for its health. With this film, Arthus-Bertrand hopes to provide a stepping-stone to further the call to action to take care of our HOME.
HOME is the first film that has been made using aerial-only footage. The film maeks artist-activist, Yann Arthus-Bertrand's feature film directorial debut.
HOME the movie is carbon offset. All of the CO2 emissions engendered by the making of the film are calculated and offset by sums of money that are used to provide clean energy to those who don't have any. For the last ten years, all the work of Yann Arthus-Bertrand has been carbon offset.

Very occasionally I get to write one of these posts about when a piece of work just goes amazingly well. This is one of those occasions. It feels like I just turn up and provide the hands but the universe does the rest.
The very dark and more navy blue pieces are bought fabric. Mine is the more grey and less densely coloured pieces like the horizontal feather in the above pictures, but the bought fabric blended really well and allowed me to make a bigger piece.
I think you could argue that using the sizzix machine is cheating, but I think that the creativity bit comes in with how you use it, how you cut the fabric, and how you stitch it. Plus it speeds up the process that you can experiment and do the what if? stage much more quickly.
I had it for Christmas last year and have really enjoyed using it.
But the point of the post is to record one of those small projects when everything goes really well and when it is a delight to make, and when I experience what Deming and William Morris describe as joy in work. I don't think we take enough time to enjoy what we have made with our hands. I think we think it's in some way conceited, but I really think we should.
I am starting in the middle a bit with things here. This is the second quilt in a series, and I have yet to blog about the first, but I am aware that it has been a while since I posted anything and this is easier to photograph than the first piece.
This is one of those quilts that started off as a quick demonstration piece of an improvised quilt made with the leftovers of a previous piece. Then, of course, I decided to make it a bit more interesting and to put some appliqué on it. As I have recently rediscovered a love of hand appliqué, that's what it had to be. In this instance, because the pieces – the rabbits – were so large, I decided to user the freezer paper method. With this method you iron the freezer paper shape onto the top of the fabric and push the turning under with your needle. Then you pull the completed shape off the top. I prefer this to trying to get the paper out from under the shape when you use it underneath, particularly when you have something as tricky as rabbit's ears. This probably sounds like badly translated instructions if you are not a quilter. If you aren't and you want to see what I am talking about there are dozens of examples of the technique on You Tube.
I am rather glad that I did do the test – the piece on the right, before cutting the whole thing out. I usually cut first and make samples and major mistakes later. In this case the little bit of extra time was well spent.
After I had finished the piece looked a bit empty. I thought briefly about doing some lettuces and carrots for a rabbits' picnic, but my sketches were really a bit too twee. I fell back on good old flowers.
I love using seeding as a quilting stitch even though it takes forever. I haven't done it for a while but I think the red here complements the big stitch on the body of the rabbit.
The quilt as a whole is a bit jumbled. The outlines are not always clear, particularly the leaves and some of the petals on several of the flowers, but in this case, I rather like the effect. It gives it a lived in, vaguely faded feel, even though almost all the fabric is brand new.
As a bit of a trailer, this piece also illustrates another project that I am working on which is about working with ugly or old-fashioned fabric, the sort of thing that you find in your stash which you bought years ago which is good but essentially out of date. The rabbits are done in this fabric and the backing, which I will show in a subsequent post, is truly horrible and I genuinely do not know how it got into my stash. More on this project as I go along.

Q: EFCore - How to exclude owned objects from automatic loading? I'm trying to wrap my head around EF Cores owned objects and how i can control when to load certain chunks of data.
Basically i'm having a bunch of old legacy tables (some with ~150 columns) and want to model them using a root entity and several owned objects per table to achieve better segmentation and bundle certain functionalities. Example: There is an "article" entity containing ~20 properties for the most important fields of the underlying table. That entity also contains an OwnedObject "StorageDetails" wrapping a dozen more fields (and all the functions concerned with storing stuff).
Problem: I can't find a way to control if an owned object should be loaded immediatly or not. For some of them i would prefer to load them explicitly using Include() ...
public class Article : EntityBase
{
    public string ArticleNumber { get;set; }

    // Owned object, shares article number as key.
    public StorageDetails StorageStuff { get; set; }

    // An Entity from another table having a foreign key reference
    public SomeOtherEntity OtherStuff { get; set; }
}

public class StorageDetails : OwnedObject<Article>
{
    public Article Owner { get; set; }
}

// Somewhere during model creation ...
builder.OwnsOne(article => article.StorageStuff);

builder.HasOne(article => article.OtherStuff )
       ...

Defining the model with OwnsOne and loading an article immediatly loads the StorageStuff. To load the OtherThing i have to Inlcude() it in a query, which is basically what i want to achieve for the owned object.
Is that possible? If not, what other approach could you point me to?

A: Update: I wasn't exact right - the implicit eager loading of owned entity types is really a default and can be changed via SetIsEagerLoaded metadata API (EF Core 3.0+)
modelBuilder.Entity<Article>().OwnsOne(e => e.StorageStuff)
    .Metadata.PrincipalToDependent?.SetIsEagerLoaded(false);

or AutoInclude fluent API (EF Core 5.0+)
modelBuilder.Entity<Article>().Navigation(e => e.StorageStuff)
    .AutoInclude(false);

This allows eager loading them via Include / ThenInclude. But due to EF Core implementation specifics, owned entity types cannot use explicit/lazy loading. Trying to do so leads to runtime exception. So my recommendation from the original answer still applies.
Original:
With owned types - it's not possible (currently), because this behavior is "by design". And is documented in Querying owned types section of the EF Core documentation:

When querying the owner the owned types will be included by default. It is not necessary to use the Include method, even if the owned types are stored in a separate table.

It's a bit vague by saying "by default", but you can safely read it as "always", because there is no option or Exclude method.

Since currently the only way to control loading related data is navigation property to a real entity, make the types you want to control a "real entities", i.e. don't mark them as owned, define explicit or shadow PK, and map these "entities" with Table Splitting:

It is now possible to map two or more entity types to the same table where the primary key column(s) will be shared and each row will correspond to two or more entities.
To use table splitting an identifying relationship (where foreign key properties form the primary key) must be configured between all of the entity types sharing the table:

Got a knife sharpened for free. Also a new suet feeder for the birds, and a salt shaker shaped like a clam or mussel. I only needed one. plus a large basket to keep yarn in.
a free bagged lunch and water at a info session for caregivers ..wasn't expecting it esp at 230.
Slice of cheesecake the kid brought home and didn't eat.
My mom gave me some of the chili that she had made in bulk. Such good cooking too!
A salted nut roll from grocery store.
A large hardcover book with 501 quilt block patterns, and a smaller quilt pattern book. Someone at Husby's work purged her sewing room and set out tons of quilt books and magazines for people to take.
A nice coffee mug from Husby's work with a saying on it that seems appropriate for someone about to retire, "oh, the places we will go" and the name of his division on it. Everyone got one.
fancy soap vanilla citrus scent ..someone bought gifts they didn't want soap, candles etc all really nice stuff.
I guess this counts so here it goes, our neighbor saw my dh working on my ds car. Dh was putting on hub assemblies in the freezing cold. Our neighbor saw dh and came to help. Dh and our neighbor help each other all the time but this was really appreciated because it was so cold out.
Nice of the neighbor to help. Sounds like he has a big heart.
We got 2 free cans of pineapple from the grocery store today. Maybe I'll make Jell-O with it.
got a seriously cool metal trunk, painted with Chinese symbols on the outside, and lined with yellow fabric inside. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.
A lot of leftovers from my birthday party yesterday.
My Chinese chest, looks so much better than a cardboard box for storage.
small orange juice from the gas station (smartpay reward) and $5 from the local grocery chain's online community. I get it every month if I have 4 or more activities online.
The weather was blizzard conditions and I drove to work....The manager gave me $5 so I spent it on a cilantro burrito and cake.
I won some chocolate through my supermarket's app.

Kasteel Wijlre is gelegen aan de rivier de Geul in het gelijknamige dorp Wijlre, dat deel uitmaakt van de Nederlands Limburgse gemeente Gulpen-Wittem. Ten noordwesten van het kasteel ligt buurtschap Stokhem en ten zuidwesten buurtschap Beertsenhoven met de Beertsengrub.

Het Elisabeth Strouven Fonds is eigenaar van landgoed Kasteel Wijlre. Het fonds draagt zorg voor het onderhoud van het landgoed. Stichting buitenplaats Kasteel Wijlre is verantwoordelijk voor de exploitatie, de culturele programmering in het Koetshuis en het Hedge House, en het onderhoud van de tuin. De buitenplaats is op gestelde tijden open voor publiek. Raadpleeg de website kasteelwijlre.nl voor de actuele openingstijden. Het kasteel zelf wordt bewoond en is niet toegankelijk voor publiek.

Beschrijving van het kasteel
Het huidige kasteel is een herenhuis gelegen op een omgracht terrein. Het hoofdgebouw heeft twee verdiepingen, is opgetrokken uit bakstenen met afwisselend mergelbanden als speklagen en het heeft een schilddak voorzien van een dakruiter. Op de zijgevel aan de straatzijde is een opvallend grote zonnewijzer en aan de achterzijde zijn enkele terrassen uit 1910. Het kasteel heeft een voorplein dat vanaf de straatzijde bereikbaar is via poort voorzien van een oude wapensteen en een stenen boogbrug. Aan het voorplein liggen verder drie van een mansardedak voorziene dienstvleugels uit de 18e eeuw.

Rondom het kasteel ligt een prachtige tuin in landschapsstijl die is ontworpen en aangelegd in 1810 door de bekende Maastrichtse architect en stadsbouwmeester Mathias Soiron (1748-1834).

Geschiedenis en bewoners

De oudste vermelding dateert uit 1040, toen koning Hendrik III Wijlre schonk aan zijn nicht Ermengardis. Verder werd het kasteel in 1389 genoemd als een versterkt huis en zetel van de vrije rijksheerlijkheid van het Heilige Roomse Rijk en maakte deel uit van de Westfaalse Kreits. In het wapen van Wijlre is als getuige hiervan de Duitse adelaar terug te vinden. Dit wapen is het wapen van de familie Van Wachtendonck, die in de 17e en 18e eeuw als de heren van Wijlre tot 1794 op het kasteel resideerden. Het huidige kasteel is door Johan Arnold Van Wachtendonck rond 1652 gebouwd.

De laatste adellijke bewoonster van kasteel Wijlre was de baronesse en vrouwe van Wijlre, Christina de Bounam. Zij verkocht het kasteel aan een Duits echtpaar, Von Klein-Fabri genaamd.

In de 20e eeuw waren heerlijkheid en kasteel eigendom van het echtpaar jhr. George Louis van der Maesen de Sombreff (1885-1955), diplomaat en Hubertine Josefine Johanna Albertine Maria Cassalette, vrouwe van Wijlre (1886-1978).

Het kasteel is in 1981 voor bewoning gekocht door de kunstverzamelaars Jo en Marlies Eyck, die in de bijgebouwen en een in 2001 gebouwd paviljoen het museum Hedge House vestigden.

Trivia
 Het wapen van de familie Van Wachtendonck wordt tegenwoordig nog steeds gebruikt door de uit het begin van de 14e eeuw stammende lokale Brandbrouwerij, gelegen in de kern van het dorp Wijlre.
 Het kasteel met enkele facetten op het terrein zijn ieder een rijksmonument. Zie ook de lijst van rijksmonumenten in Wijlre.

NYT: Grass is Greener On the Other Side of the Mexican Border Fence?
Posted at 19:23h in Blog, Immigration by mlfadmin
In recent months, immigration demographers have noticed that many foreign-born graduates of American universities, especially in the so-called STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, are going back home to seek their fortunes. This is in part because we make it hard to stay here, but also because the business climate in their homelands – India and China, for example – have evolved to a point that American-trained STEM grads see better opportunities there than here. (See e.g.: Proposed Legislation Aims to Keep Foreign STEM Grads Here, MurthyBlog, 22.Jun.2011.) Some call this the "reverse brain drain," because for decades, the best and brightest came here in pursuit of opportunities that weren't available anywhere else. This worries the American high-tech companies that need a steady supply of STEM grads to maintain their competitive edge.
Perhaps U.S. employers in the construction sector, agriculture and landscaping, and the restaurant trade will begin to worry about a "reverse brawn drain," in light of recent news that migration from Mexico is on the wane. According to the New York Times, immigration from Mexico has gone off a cliff, plunging to levels not seen since the 1950's. (See "For Mexicans Looking North, a New Calculus Favors Home: Better Lives for Mexicans Cut Allure of Going North, by Damien Cave, New York Times, 06.Jul.2011.) Douglas Massey, of Princeton University's Mexican Migration Project, told the Times that the flow of illegal immigrant traffic from Mexico has stopped, and "for the first time in 60 years, the net traffic has gone to zero and is probably a little bit negative." As the Times further elaborated:
"The decline in illegal immigration, from a country responsible for roughly 6 of every 10 illegal immigrants in the United States, is stark. The Mexican census recently discovered four million more people in Mexico than had been projected, which officials attributed to a sharp decline in emigration.
"American census figures analyzed by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center also show that the illegal Mexican population in the United States has shrunk and that fewer than 100,000 illegal border-crossers and visa-violators from Mexico settled in the United States in 2010, down from about 525,000 annually from 2000 to 2004. Although some advocates for more limited immigration argue that the Pew studies offer estimates that do not include short-term migrants, most experts agree that far fewer illegal immigrants have been arriving in recent years."
According to the Times, increased border enforcement and anti-immigrant measures at the state level have played a role in reducing the number of Mexicans illegally crossing the border, but this is far from being the whole story; life has improved in Mexico in some key respects, the article finds, making it a more attractive place to stay. For one thing, Mexican families are no longer as large as they once were, the Times reports, thanks to successful birth control efforts. This results in fewer job seekers who might otherwise try their luck north of the border. Meanwhile, the article continues, "per capita gross domestic product and family income have each jumped more than 45 percent since 2000."
At the same time, the Times article points out, legal immigration from Mexico has been on the rise, providing additional channels for migration and employment that are far more secure than crossing the border illegally, which has become increasingly risky due to stepped-up enforcement along the southwestern border of the United States, and to dangerous criminal activity – trafficking in people and drugs – in the region.
In another article on this topic, the Orange County Register points out that the costs of illegal immigration have ballooned in recent years, even while the potential benefits have been shrinking. (See Study, Illegal Mexican Migration to U.S. in Decline, by Cindy Carcamo, The Orange County Register, 07.Jul.2011.) Thirty years ago, the article notes, an illegal Mexican immigrant could pay a smuggler $300 to get across the border to a place were jobs were plentiful; not so now:
"Today's illegal Mexican immigrant pays up to $6,000 for a smuggler and contends with a dangerous journey, dominated by ruthless cartels, a reinforced border and menacing desert. For those who make it, there's no guarantee of a job and there is a higher risk of detection and deportation than ever before."
On the positive side, the Times cited improvements in quality of life – like wider availability of clean water, electricity, and trash collection services – and the expansion of educational opportunities as major factors that make potential Mexican émigrés think twice before heading north. A young student from the state of Jalisco told the Times that he planned to stay in Mexico and finish his industrial engineering studies at one of the new technical institutes established there.
This raises some interesting questions. As new state laws turn up the heat on illegal immigrants, will U.S. immigration authorities take the steps needed to ensure that American industries have a steady stream of legal immigrant labor to replace the illegal workers upon whom they have relied? Early indications suggest this will be the case. The Times notes that U.S. consular officials in Mexico are regularly approving H2A visas for agricultural laborers to come here even when they have lived illegally in the United States, and otherwise would be subject to the 3-year or 10-year bar on admission. It remains to be seen whether a sufficient volume of H2A visas could be processed yearly if the United States loses significant numbers of the illegal farm workers upon whom we currently depend.
By far the bigger and more intriguing question is whether the drop in illegal immigration from Mexico will allay the fears of Congressional representatives from the southwestern states – as well as their constituents – so that sealing the border is no longer seen as a mandatory precondition for supporting comprehensive immigration reform. Eventually, the rhetoric has to catch up to the facts, and one hopes the necessary changes in policy will not be far behind.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Write-ups of games will be added as scores are reported, so please consider revisiting this page. Thank you for following our GMC baseball coverage.
READ: Greg Tufaro's game story about Monroe's incredible win over Perth Amboy
West Morris 2, St. Joseph 1: The winning run crossed when shortstop Derek Zelesnick ranged to catch a pop fly with his momentum apparently carrying him into deadball territory, leading the umpires to award home plate to the runner at third in the bottom of the sixth.
Hard-luck losing pitcher Adam Boucher, a Duke University commit, allowed three hits and fanned nine over five and a third innings. Jake Hellwig recorded the final two outs for St. Joseph.
The Falcons (1-2) could not solve West Morris ace Connor Staine, a University of Maryland commit who allowed just one run, that being an RBI groundout off the bat of third baseman Caleb Carter in the fourth inning.
West Morris (4-0), whose roster features five future Division I players, knotted the contest at 1-1 in the fifth.
Staine fanned seven and walked four while throwing 110 pitches. Boucher threw 90 pitches.
North Brunswick 1, Colonia 0: Christian Petrillo hurled a complete-game shutout, striking out six, scattering four hits and walking two as the Patriots were blanked for the second straight outing.
Andrew Tan scored the game's lone run in the sixth inning. Dylan Farrell, Caleb Rodriguez, Stefan Rojas-Ayala, Petrillo and Tan each had a hit off Colonia ace Nick Nielson.
Nielson fanned six, allowed five hits and walked two over seven innings.
Matt Flammia, Nick Scherb and Kenny Shinski had hits for Colonia.
Edison 3, South Plainfield 2: Dom LaPelosa and Nico Chipoco combined on a four-hit gem as the unranked Eagles stunned the second-ranked and previously unbeaten Tigers, who are the defending conference tournament champions.
Nico Lopez legged out a run-scoring infield single in the top of the fourth inning, plating what proved to be the decisive run as Edison took a 3-1 lead.
The Eagles (3-0) scored their first run in the opening frame on a wild pitch. They scored their second run in the ensuing inning on a sacrifice fly.
LaPelosa allowed three singles and a double over four and a third innings. He fanned three, walked one and allowed two runs (one earned).
Chipoco hurled two and two thirds innings of no-hit relief. He issued a two-out walk to the No. 8 batter, who stole second, in the seventh, but induced the next hitter into a game-ending popup.
Walker Zampella went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored for Edison. Teammate Sal Della Fave had a hit and an RBI. Evrin Virola contributed two hits and two runs scored to the win.
Losing pitcher Rob Gonzalez allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks. He fanned 10 over six innings and threw 105 pitches.

2',3'-Dideoxycytidine (ddCyd) is among the most potent of the anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) agents of the dideoxynucleoside class. Its pharmacologically active metabolite 2',3'-dideoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (ddCTP) is an effective inhibitor of HIV reverse transcriptase and thus of HIV replication. ddCyd differs, however, from other dideoxynucleoside agents such as 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine in its capacity to generate phosphodiester metabolites (i.e. ddCDP choline and ddCDP ethanolamine). We have synthesized and characterized these two diesters, and established their identity with the metabolites formed in ddCyd-treated Molt-4 cells. Toward this end, the biologically generated metabolites have been isolated on a preparative scale and compared with the synthetic compounds mass spectroscopically, chromatographically, and enzymatically (i.e. their relative susceptibility to the catabolic enzymes alkaline phosphatase and venom phosphodiesterase). The concentration reached by each of these two phosphodiesters within cells can, under certain conditions, equal or exceed that of ddCTP, and their half-times of disappearance are long, indicating that they may serve as depot forms of ddCyd. The possible role of these phosphodiesters in contributing to the unusual toxicity of ddCyd is discussed.

Government losing its way in Maoist minefield
By Sarwar Kashani
New Delhi: Two Italians kidnapped in Odisha, then a legislator and now a collector in Chhattisgarh. The high profile abductions have again focused attention on the government strategy to counter Maoists and even officials are asking whether there is any clarity of thought in the twin approach of development and military action.
While security experts and activists wonder if the government is losing its way, the talk gaining momentum in government circles is whether development in tandem with security operations has paid dividends.
According to sources in the home ministry, some officials feel that building schools, health centres and road connectivity in Maoist strongholds is irrational until security forces first dominate the areas.
Left-wing extremists in Odisha had kidnapped two Italians in March, released one after 11 days and the second almost a month later. Another Maoist group abducted Odisha's ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) legislator March 24 but his fate continues to be uncertain.
And last week Saturday, Alex Paul Menon, the 32-year-old collector of Chhattisgarh's Sukma district was taken into captivity from the Manjhipara area, affected by leftist insurgency, described by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as the "biggest" threat to internal security.
Menon was travelling with a thin security cover of only two personal security officers, who were shot dead by the rebels.
This, security experts believe, underlines the fact that rebels continue to rule the red corridor – the nearly 80 Maoist-affected districts on the borders of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
Some experts feel the only way to stop abductions is to provide heavy security cover for officers and also ensure that the areas where development takes place is dominated by a heavy security presence. Rights activists see an inherent contradiction in this.
Both believe the government might be confused. But that's the only point of convergence in their views.
"In a situation, where you have no capacity (to dominate), how can you have a developmental strategy?" asked Ajai Sahni, an author and expert on counter-terrorism.
But Justice (retd) Rajinder Sachar, an activist with the People's Union for Civil Liberties and Democratic Rights (PUCLDR), disagreed "totally".
"It has to be a combined strategy. Security doesn't mean you go for the kill. You have to win the hearts of the people. Secure their rights. Make them feel safe. And that can happen only when you improve their living conditions. It cannot be only security."
The 89-year-old activist said the government had failed to address the root cause of the problem on which "Maoist insurgency thrives". "That is poverty, violation of rights."
Sahni, the executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management, argued that the government's double pronged strategy had failed "totally".
"You see the government is not doing enough. Instead it is making itself vulnerable and Maoists are taking advantage," he said.
The abductions of the two Italians, it is argued by some, had been successful and forced the government to concede Maoist demands for the release of some of their arrested leaders.
"You can kill unknown Maoists everyday – that doesn't matter too much for them. But you cannot replace leaders so fast… They use abduction as a two edged weapon…Weaken the government and get their leaders back," Sahni said.
Ajit Doval, a former Intelligence Bureau chief, agreed that the Maoists had "made the government surrender".
"They think it is a weak government and they get encouraged every time you concede their demands. You have to take tough action," he said.
He added that the government needed to tell state police forces "be tough, we will protect you legally". (IANS)

Fewer university leavers are applying for graduate training schemes in teaching because of a fall in salaries, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) has claimed.
Barry Fawcett, head of teachers pay at the NUT, said a decrease in the number of PGCE applicants was "an understandable response to below inflation awards for teachers since 2004".
He said: "The pay is becoming less and less competitive with competing occupations and those problems will continue as long as teachers pay continues to lag behind."
"It's not just a case of starting salaries for teachers pay falling behind, it's also the fact that the career progression, the salaries that you can expect to earn as you go through your chosen occupation, those later levels of salary are lower in teaching."
Education Data Surveys figures released in February indicated that there had been a decline in the number of graduates wishing to enter the teaching profession.
In Physics, 30 per cent fewer applications were received; with reductions of 15 per cent in English 16 per cent in ICT and 14 per cent in Geography were also seen.

Subjects of International Law
Historically, states were the main party in the process of developing and applying International law. States contributed to its content and subjected itself to its rule. However, in the recent years, individuals are becoming more and more involved in the process. Individuals are bringing cases against their own state, against foreign governments, organizations, individuals, or corporation. For example, under the 1974 Scandinavian Convention on the Protection of the Environment, individuals could take their states to court for environmental practices. Similarly, an individual may petition the United Nations on Human Rights with regard to violations by his home state. These new trends forced new understanding of some key concepts like nationality and citizenship.
Determining the nationality of individuals was initially the prerogative of the state. France for instance, per 1921 decree, nationalized persons in Morocco. This practice was problematic as there were other nationals within Morocco at that time. The practice thereafter of determining nationality was of two categories: by jus sanquinis (by blood), or by jus soli (by territory). Although these definitions simplify the matter, there remain some problems with it. For instance, what nationality is that of a child born in the United States for parents who are diplomats. According to the US law, this child is excluded for the determination by jus soli just like children of conquerors are also excluded from citizenship if born inside the US. Similarly, a child born on a ship while in some other country's waters was another case that needed to be defined separately. In 1959, the convention on the Elimination of Statelessness required governments to recognize flag vessels as territory for the purpose of acquiring nationality. The status of women after marriage was also a problem in determining citizenship: at first, it was an automatic change to that of the husband; a 1957 convention made that a matter of choice.
The words nationality and citizenship have been used interchangeably; however, some countries (Britain and the US) have defined nationality and citizenship variably. Some nationals in these countries may have full protections under the terms of international law, but lack the full privileges of a citizen (such as voting).
Within the framework of international law, individuals, organizations, and states became the centerpieces of an elaborate system to universalize certain values beyond the national borders of countries. This trend was further strengthened by the strong push that began immediately after the atrocities committed by a number of colonizing forces during World War II.
In addition to the declarations and bilateral and multilateral treaties, human rights were also addressed in the United Nations Charter.[5] Although the Charter does not provide a clear definition of "human rights", it nonetheless contains clear reference to the need to "respect" and observe "human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion."[6] However, there are ample documents that define and codify human rights laws like: Convention of the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) of 1965, the international covenant of Civil and Political Rights (CCPR) of 1966, and the international Convention on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (CESCR),[7] The 1979 Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the 1984 Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane, or Degrading Treatment, the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. These instruments created under the mandate of the United Nations were supported by organs that would monitor and report compliance by the states that adopt and ratify the individual treaties. In short, there are close to 100 human rights treaties that were adopted world-wide or regionally. For example, CCPR falls under the management of the 18-member Human Right Committee. This committee however does not perform a judicial role. That matter and the question of remedy and redress are more or less the responsibility of the state wherein the violation or abuse takes place. The International organs play a major role to the extent permitted by the protocols of any given treaty. In some instances, the role of some committees amount to shaming some regimes into compliance rather than forcing them to do so. Only in severe cases when a state stands charged of gross violations of human rights would that task of adjudicating a case falls on the shoulders of temporary international tribunals. The notion of sovereignty has made international instruments secondary in that regard. Even the most promising International Criminal Court that represented the hope of millions of victims has been limited to taking up only the cases where the subject state fails or refuses to bring justice.
That said, even with the system as is, human rights lawyers have brought charges against abusers and have managed to extract all forms of remedies allowed under the law for the victims they represented.[8] However, it seems that the great efforts of many good people can be undone by politicians as we have seen in the case of the Belgium law that was undone because of government pressure. The assertion that the existence of national mechanism ought to render an international court moot can be abused; and only time will tell how effective the ICC will be in overcoming the political challenges.
The above information should bring the process of enunciating and empowering human rights law into some clarity. The plethora of treaties and declarations should give one the impression that violations of human rights norms ought to be brought to an end. Without sounding so pessimistic, the incoming reports published by the NGOs and the various committees are always full of documented violations of people's and individual human rights in every single nation around the world. The problem is of two fold: firstly, the nations that signed and ratified and even adopted human rights treaties are not always willing to comply. It seems that the human rights question has been used by some governments in order to gain political favors rather than genuinely improve the quality and value of life for the people under their care. Secondly, many communities seem disinterested in promoting, let alone, adopting human rights norms. The Muslim world stands charged of the lack of enthusiasm for the protection of human rights to say the least. In order to understand the reasons and the prospects, we will consider some of the documents that record the on-going debate. After the presentation of the various opinions by Muslim scholars and activists, I will have a final thought and some concluding remarks in order to open the subject for further discussion.


Despite overwhelming controversy surrounding the 2012 release of LEGO's Friends line, the mega-mogul toy company will push forward with its upcoming release of an official set of female scientist minifigures. The figures will depict a chemist, an astronomer, a paleontologist and other women in scientific professions.
The idea for the 13 female character set came last year from Swedish geochemist, Alatariel Elensar. Elensar confronted the LEGO Company through a fan-based design website called CUUSOO. The website allows users to design their own LEGO character sets and, with enough support from the local LEGO community, have the set implemented as a limited edition release to the public.
LEGO's previous attempt at marketing and releasing an all-girl line, called the Friends line, was met with great financial success, but many women took to the internet to voice their opposition to the new set. With the popular hashtag #LiberateLEGO, women expressed their disapproval of LEGO's decision to stereotype women into being carefree shoppers who wear pink… a lot of pink.
Charlotte will be pleased to know that LEGO's new female scientist set will include women who hold some of the most adventurous jobs, including oceanographer Sylvia Earle, who swam with sharks on many occasions.
LEGO hopes the new female scientist set will ease the publics' concern about how the toy company may or may not be including women in their more adventurous sets.

Mark Cuban: If I had to start a side hustle now to make extra money, this is what I'd do
Published Fri, May 1 20202:10 PM EDT Updated Tue, Jan 12 202110:33 AM EST
Taylor Locke@itstaylorlocke
Rich Fury
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban is bullish on the future of artificial intelligence and has been for years.
Not only has he made it a priority to learn about and invest in AI himself, but he has consistently recommended other entrepreneurs do the same.
And if the ABC's "Shark Tank" star had to start a side hustle business today, that's where Cuban would turn.
"I would become an expert in scripting for Alexa and Google Home and Cortana and go to any place that sold devices they supported and show them how much more they could do with a few hours of personalization," he tells CNBC Make It.
By "scripting," Cuban is referring to the process of coding voice commands to create so-called "skills," which enable devices – like Amazon's Echo or Echo Dot, which use artificial intelligence-enabled voice assistant Alexa, Google Home or Microsoft's Cortana – to complete a task.
For example, enabling the iRobot Home skill allows you to simply say, "Alexa, ask Roomba to start cleaning," to get your smart vacuum going. Or you can enable a skill like CNBC's Flash Briefing to hear the day's headlines.
"Alexa skills and scripting Alexa skills is really, really easy. But everybody thinks it's really, really hard. And so that disconnect is a great opportunity," Cuban previously told Recode's Peter Kafka in 2019.
"I told my kids [and] other kids, learn how to script, and just go get your neighbors and set up all of these Alexa tools and you'll make $25, $30, $40 an hour."
Amazon provides free resources to teach anyone how to create skills for its platform. Amazon has an Alexa Skills Kit of tutorials online, for example.
"We think it should be simple for people of all skill levels to build for Alexa," Rob Pulciani, the vice president of Amazon Alexa international, previously told CNBC Make It.
Amazon currently has over 40,000 skills for Alexa built by third-party developers.
When speaking at the 2020 CES Conference in January, Cuban also spoke about the potentially lucrative side hustle.
"If I were 16 years old, I would learn Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Microsoft stuff and learn how to create scripts," he said. "Then go to my neighbors' homes ... and charge $30 an hour to set it up in their house."
Tweet with video of this quote
At the conference he also compared the future of AI to the rise of the internet.
"If you don't know AI, you're the equivalent of somebody in 1999 saying, 'I'm sure this internet thing will be OK, but I don't give a s---,'" he said at the conference. "If you want to be relevant in business, you have to or you will be a dinosaur very quickly."
In fact, Cuban has predicted that the world's first trillionaire will be an AI entrepreneur.
"I am telling you," he said at the SXSW Conference and Festivals in 2017, "the world's first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters AI and all its derivatives and applies it in ways we never thought of."
