Judge allows "bad act" testimony in APS test-cheating case
By Bill Rankin, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Fulton County judge on Friday ruled that at least six educators and a parent can testify for the prosecution about alleged "prior bad acts" committed by former Atlanta Public Schools Executive Director Tamara Cotman at her upcoming trial.
Cotman is to stand trial later this month on a charge of trying to influence a witness. Jury selection begins Aug. 19 and testimony begins a week later.
Cotman is accused of telling 12 principals in December 2010 to write a "go to hell" memo to GBI agents who were investigating test cheating at those principals' schools. Over several months ending in February 2011, Cotman engaged in a "campaign of harassment" against former Scott Elementary School principal Jimmye Hawkins, who attended the so-called "go to hell" meeting, Fulton County prosecutors allege in a recent court filing.
During a hearing on Friday, nine witnesses called to the stand by prosecutors testified that Cotman retaliated against them when they voiced concerns over test cheating and other matters. Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter said he would allow seven to testify at the upcoming trial and reserved making a decision on the other two potential witnesses.
Fulton prosecutor Christopher Quinn had told Baxter that the witnesses will help prosecutors show Cotman had a fear and intimidation management style, helping prove motive at the upcoming trial. When someone voiced a complaint to Cotman, she fired, demoted, transferred or retaliated against that person, he said. "She makes their life a living hell."
Cotman's lawyer, Benjamin Davis, opposed the introduction of the witness testimony. He described most of the witnesses as "disgruntled former employees."
David has said Cotman is innocent of the charge against her and predicted she will be acquitted at trial.
Cotman also remains a defendant in the sweeping indictment that accuses her and 34 other former APS educators and officials of engaging in a racketeering conspiracy to inflate test scores. That indictment also accused Cotman of influencing a witness.
Cotman's attorney had previously challenged the influencing a witness charge, saying it should be dismissed because it was too vague. In June, Fulton prosecutors obtained a new indictment, with a single influencing a witness charge that provided more specifics. It alleges that Cotman threatened Hawkins, the former Scott Elementary principal, by placing her in fear of retaliation and demotion if she cooperated with any investigation.
Davis quickly filed a motion for a speedy trial on the new indictment, which meant that if the influencing a witness charge were not tried by the end of August it would have to be dismissed.
After hearing all the testimony on Friday, Baxter said that while sitting on the bench he thinks of Las Vegas and where people go gambling.
"Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose," Baxter said at the close of the hearing, not addressing either party in particular. "There needs to be some soul searching."

Can you do anything with Glass Shards in Elden Ring?
By Brandon Moore
Merchants sell a variety of wares in Elden Ring (Image via FromSoftware Inc.)
Glass Shards are consumable items that players can find in Elden Ring.
Even though they are categorized as consumable items, they actually can't be consumed by Tarnished in the new FromSoftware title.
Most consumable items in the game provide some sort of buff or debuff, but not Glass Shards.
Players can only carry Glass Shards around as they travel throughout the treacherous Lands Between. That is all players can do with these consumable items — hold them in their inventory.
What to do with Glass Shards in Elden Ring
A look at Glass Shards in an Elden Ring player's inventory (Image via FromSoftware Inc.)
Players can collect Glass Shards in Elden Ring. However, they aren't used as ingredients for any crafting recipes and can't be consumed to provide any assistance in battle.
Here's everything you need to know about Melina Elden Ring
They also can't be sold to merchants for Runes. Players can hold up to 99 of them and store up to 600. They have no purpose other than to be gathered and carried.
Even the official in-game description seems to poke fun at the item:
"Glass shard covered in dirt. Because it sparkles in the light, it might be mistaken for an of value when seen from afar. It cannot produce light by itself. Essentially worthless."
Where to find Glass Shards in Elden Ring
A player has found Patches (Image via FromSoftware Inc.)
Glass Shards are located in many places in the Lands Between, even if they serve no real purpose other than to be held. They can be found as loot and can be purchased from merchants, which is odd considering they can't be sold back.
Here are all the locations where Glass Shards can be obtained:
Sold by Patches at Murkwater Cave
Found in Wyndham Catacombs
Dropped by Skeletal Slime at Castle Morne
Dropped from Bedouin at Leyndell, Royal Capital
Found on a body on the east side of The Shaded Castle
Found in the sewers of the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds
Purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold after giving them Patches Bell Bearing

There are a lot of Glass Shards to acquire. Players can strike up quite the collection of this mostly worthless consumable.
Perhaps FromSoftware Inc. will give them more of a purpose in a later update.

Q: XML to JSON - unexpected behaviour while converting lists? This is my json value:
{
    "hello": [
        {
            "names": {
                "name": "abc"
            }
        },
        {
            "names": {
                "name": "def"
            }
        }
    ]
}

I tried using XML.toString(new JsonObject()), and this is what I get:
   <hello>
       <names>
          <name>abc</name>
       </names>
   </hello>
   <hello>
       <names>
          <name>def</name>
       </names>
   </hello>

Whereas, the xml I expected was this:
   <hello>
       <names>
          <name>abc</name>
       </names>
       <names>
          <name>def</name>
       </names>
   </hello>

This unexpected behaviour results in an invalid XML error, since there is no root element now. What am I missing here?

A: The issue in your JSON code. The [] means array, and by definition array is a set of elements. So the resulting xml code contains a set of hello elements. Try change your [] with {}:
{
    "hello": {
        "names": [
            {
                "name": "abc"
            },
            {
                "name": "def"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Just tried it and got the exact output you're looking for:
<hello>
    <names>
        <name>abc</name>
    </names>
    <names>
        <name>def</name>
    </names>
</hello>

I visited this area in early 2019.
During my work, I have been to many temples, and often to the same ones repeatedly; so I tend not to visit them on my own time. I felt I needed to see Angkor Wat, as I was in Cambodia and staying in Siem Reap, which is very close.
The name Angkor Wat refers to a specific temple, the one that I visited, and the most heavily frequented by tourists. However, the name is often used generally to refer to a range of many different temples, some of the same time period, some not, some in restored condition, some not.
The most common animal around the temples are of course the ubiquitous Long-tailed Macaques. Many are fat from eating handouts.
For me, the highlight is the other common mammal in the area; the Variable Squirrel. As the name suggests, this squirrel comes in an amazing range of colours and patterns.
This local variation Callosciurus finlaysonii annellatus, is mainly rufous, with a distinct white band at the base of its tail.
Access is pretty straightforward. Many companies actually fly direct to Siem Reap from various Asian cities. Once in Siem Reap, it is a half hour and cheap tuk-tuk drive to the temples.
Siem Reap in a nice town, and now has a huge range of boutique-y cafes, restaurants and hotels, some tucked away in alleys.
While in Siem Reap. there is not much nature to be seen, except for a large colony of Lyle's Flying Fox at the Royal Gardens.
The town is also the jumping off point for many nature tours. The ecotourism company Sam Veasna is based here. The closest nature tour is the water bird sanctuary, Prek Toal, a few hours away.


THE YOUTH WING of the Labour Party has admitted that its latest posters, criticising what it says is the "hypocrisy of Fianna Fáil", may break they law but it is prepared to pay the fine.
Labour Youth has erected posters around Dublin City Centre under those advertising a 'Cost of Living Crisis' meeting organised by the Fianna Fáil MEP candidate for Dublin, Mary Fitzpatrick, slamming what it says is the "blatant hypocrisy of Fianna Fáil".
The posters carry messages such as 'FFS' and 'WTF' and 'FFECKERS' with messages underneath that read 'Who are Fianna Fáil trying to blame for their mess?' and 'Don't forget, it was Fianna Fáil that created the crisis'.
Fianna Fáil hit back this afternoon, a spokesperson saying the initiative "neatly sums up the crisis at the heart of the Labour Party".
As well containing potentially vulgar or offensive language, the posters do not contain details of any event or public meeting being organised or details of who has paid for or published them.
All of which means they are likely in breach of Dublin City Council protocols and the Litter Pollution Act 1997, putting Labour Youth at risk of fines of over €100.
However, the youth wing's chair Ciarán Garrett did not appear concerned when asked about it today, saying any fines incurred will "have to come out of our own pockets".
He said it was "completely hypocritical" of Fianna Fáil to talk about the cost of living crisis that it had caused by its actions in government.
"Many people in Labour Youth felt they had to do something about this," he said.
A Labour spokesperson was similarly unperturbed by the posters' legality, describing the campaign as a "very imaginative" one organised "by an enthusiastic and angry bunch of people".
Responding this afternoon, a spokesperson for Fitzpatrick said: "This initiative neatly sums up the crisis at the heart of the Labour Party and the choice facing voters. On one side, voters see Mary Fitzpatrick, who understands the cost of living crisis facing Dublin families and is focussed on coming up with solutions.

paper.

What does "the heel that she snaps" mean?
It look so different version of a idiom: snap at sb's heels.

A: It has nothing to do with 'snapping at someone's heels'. The reference is (presumably) to shoes with stiletto heels. The widow would be wearing expensive shoes, if she should happen to break one of her heels.

Trend trading is a perennially favorite topic among traders. And "The trend is your friend" is probably one of the most famous and repeated phrases within the trading community.
In general, you want to trade the same direction the market is moving. If the market is going up, and you randomly pick a stock to trade, chances are it will be going up, too. This is the definition of a trend.
Now, obviously, you wouldn't randomly pick a stock to invest in, but it demonstrates the point that in a bull market most stocks will be increasing in price.
Likewise, in a bear market most stocks will be declining in price.
Here's the question: Where do fundamentals come in?
The answer: I have found it depends on how long you plan to be in you trade.
In my experience, in the short-term, fundamentals have little bearing on price movement. But in the long-term (three months or longer), fundamentals are actually quite important.
If you are in a bull market and you're taking a long position, you want to make sure the stock you're buying is fundamentally a solid stock. In other words, there should be a reason the company's stock is increasing in price.
If you don't do this, you take a big risk… because… a stock that is increasing in price during a bull market could still fundamentally be a bad stock.
The company might have too much debt or declining market share or a host of other problems. And the only thing propping up the price of the stock might be the trend of the market.
In a case like this, you could get badly burned.
So while trends are very important, trends alone don't make for good long-term trades. For a long-term trade, the trend must be in alignment with the fundamentals driving the stock price. When these two are in alignment, then the saying "The trend is your friend" becomes much more reliable.
Let me be clear: What I'm telling you here is important *if* you plan to be in a position for three months or longer.
In my experience, it does not apply to short-term trades.
I personally don't teach long-term trading strategies. I teach a strategy designed for short-term trades between three and 40 days. I'll tell you more about it soon. Stay tuned.


The two words "information" and "communication" are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.
As stated previously, English words come in all sizes and degrees of difficulty from numerous languages past and present to give us English-vocabulary words for better communication.
Communication can not be achieved without words except for a few superficial methods; such as, a twitch, a wink, a nudge, a kiss, a hug, a caress, or with some kind of physical violence.
Real communication, creative communication, communication that can sustain and uplift and inspire, is only possible with words.
The richest of the world's languages, which number over two thousand, is English in its various modes of expression.
The English language is rich because it is not pure.
It is a vast ocean that has received global contributions from just about every language.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82, U.S. essayist, lecturer, and poet) described English as, "the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven."
It has taken just about two thousand years to evolve.
Over the centuries, major contributions came from the Celts, Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Greeks, Romans, Danes, Normans, Dutch, Germans, Spaniards, Arabs, and the French.
The main additions to vocabulary during the early Modern English period are learned words from Latin and Greek, frequently called inkhorn terms because of their bookish character.
Some were introduced in a conscious effort to increase the resources of the English language; others originated in affectation.
Many proved to be superfluous and have since fallen into disuse.
During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the English language has continued to be hospitable to foreign words.
The blossoming of all the sciences has kept the classical languages alive as formative elements in English, and the international nature of the scientific community facilitates the adoption of technical terms from European and non-European languages.
That the ancient languages of Greek and Latin have significantly influenced the vocabulary and grammatical structure of English has long been recognized in learned circles.
For this reason, serious students of language and those whose professional fields require an in-depth understanding of a very sophisticated and technical vocabulary have for many generations devoted a portion of their academic program, either in secondary school or at the college or university level, to the study of these classical languages in the traditional manner.
The results of their efforts on the whole have been easy to predict.
The study of Latin as a language or the study of Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes have easily received the highest verbal scores in standardized national tests over other groups of students studying a modern foreign language or no foreign language at all.
With the realization in recent years that too many of today's most gifted students for various reasons have not enrolled in traditional Latin or Greek courses, special efforts have often been made in academic circles to introduce them; at least, to a concentrated study of important Greek and Latin roots commonly found in English vocabulary.
In addition, it is necessary to set forth for their benefit the basic principles upon which new words are coined annually even to this day from these ancient languages.
This is an indeterminate question. First, there is the problem of what exactly is a word. Are mouse, mice, mousy, and mouse-like separate words or just forms of one root word? Is a computer mouse the same word as the rodent?
To demonstrate the difficulty in counting words, over the centuries many scholars have attempted to count how many different words Shakespeare used in his works. The counts run anywhere from 16,000 to 30,000.
Second, unlike French, English has no official body to determine what is proper and what is not. English dictionaries are (usually) descriptive in nature, not prescriptive.
In other words, they describe how the language exists and is used, they do not prescribe or determine its "proper" use. Just because a word "is not in the dictionary", doesn't mean that it is not a legitimate word. It simply means the dictionary editors omitted it for one reason or another.
The OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290,000 entries with some 616,500 word forms. Of course, there are lots of slang and regional words that are not included and the big dictionary omits many proper names, scientific and technical terms, and jargon as a matter of editorial policy (e.g., there are some 1.4 million named species of insect alone).
All told, estimates of the total vocabulary of English start at around three million words and go up from there!
Of these, about 200,000 words are in common use today. An educated person has a vocabulary of about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 during a week's conversation. These estimates vary widely depending on who is doing the counting, so don't take them as wholly verified facts.

Rich Men Have Billions of Reasons to Move to Monaco: a case of Jim Ratcliffe
@www.facebook.com/Jim-Ratcliffe-Welcome-to-Iceland-513585842399416/
Monaco provides a fabulous lifestyle for those whose taste for luxury exceeds the limits of what most cities can offer. So it's no secret that Monaco attracts some of the richest people in the world. In fact, Monaco consistently ranks #1 for millionaire density, with over 30 % of residents having a net worth of over $1 million. In a country with less than 40,000 residents, the average net worth per person is €1.42 million and 2,200 of those are worth more than €10 million.
One of the most discussed moves to Monaco of this year is the one of the richest British man, Jim Ratcliffe. In Monaco the petrochemical billionaire will be joining Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton as well as plenty of other UK nationals who've become foreign residents of the Principality. Depending on their nationality, foreigners have to meet different conditions to settle in Monaco. The British population may be finding Jim Ratcliffe's move to Monaco, after he defended Brexit, as quite ironic. Jim Ratcliffe is a fervent defender of Brexit, an ardent critic of tax in all its forms and was named the richest man in the UK when his fortune tripled between 2017 and 2018, making him worth a whopping 23.55 billion euros. This recent windfall most likely influenced Jim Ratcliffe's decision to move to Monaco.
Coming from modest beginnings, Jim Ratcliffe was born in Failsworth, Lancashire, as the son of a joiner and an accounts office worker. Ratcliffe lived in a council house until the age of ten before moving with his family to Yorkshire. His first job was with oil giant Esso, before he decided to complete an MBA at the London Business School. Ratcliffe co-founded INSPEC, and in 1998 Ratcliffe formed Ineos. Ineos today generates more than 60 billion pounds of turnover, has around 20,000 employees in more than 20 countries and produces 60 million tons of products mainly derived from petroleum.

Because European regulations in the UK did not sit well with Ratcliffe, he became a strong supporter of Brexit. However, despite the UK's imminent Brexit, the proud owner of jets and yachts still decided to move to the Principality. And he is not the only business man who preferred Monaco as his place of residence to the United Kingdom. Mohamed Al-Fayed, the 89-year-old Egyptian businessman made his money in the UK as the sole owner of Harrods department store, and he is living in Monaco. Also Christina Green, British businesswoman and owner of Taveta Investments, ranks #422 on Forbes Billionaire List with a net worth of $4.8 billion, is another famous resident of the Principality. It is understood that the two other senior executives at Ineos, Andy Currie and John Reece, have also decided to move to Monaco. Although Jim Ratcliffe's company will remain headquartered in London, a Monegasque company named Ineos Monaco Limited was created last March.

I can't wait to try out the LG G5. It's got so much potential in my eyes. And sure, we saw it at CES, we've seen reviews and hands on... but it's a whole other story when you get it in your own hands.
One of my biggest obstacles to overcome will be the no app drawer. Well, there was talk of it being included at CES and it has been mentioned that it's still there hidden away... but my understanding was that it brought you to a "SIMPLE" mode of desktop launcher, like you'd set your grandparents up to use.
Well, they released a video showcasing all the highlights of it, and for me, the highlight was 2:18 in when we see that the 'old launcher' just looks like UX4.0. No simple/dummy version in order to get the tray back.
There's also some other neat options like full manual control on the video mode of the camera (a la V10), a neat multi view for taking photos and it even recognizes when you 'pose' for selfies (so no awkward hand gestures to try to get it to go. There's some increases in the LG Health app (incorporating weather).
TORONTO, Mar. 29, 2016 — With the imminent consumer rollout of the new LG G5, LG Electronics (LG) will also be introducing a new version of its mobile user interface, LG UX 5.0.Designed for a more playful and innovative mobile experience, LG UX 5.0 will offer advanced features and greater convenience not only for LG G5 users but owners of upcoming smartphonemodels as well.

No relief in sight for Maryland drought
Frank D. Roylance
Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:48 UTC
With a near-record drought parching the state, the coming winter will be critical in determining whether Maryland faces even more disastrous crop failures for farmers and strict watering curbs for suburban homeowners in 2008.
And while there may be showers Tuesday, the prospects for real drought relief in the coming months appear slim.

Low water levels at Prettyboy Reservoir are the result of the current drought. "We're looking at the second-driest May-to-September on record, and the records go back to 1895 -- 113 years," said Richard Heim of the USGS.
Heavy rains flood parts of New Orleans still recovering from Katrina
Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:21 UTC
Residents in areas only now recovering from hurricane Katrina have been soaked by more than 20 centimetres of rain, flooding streets, forcing the closure of schools and leaving businesses sitting in waist-high water.
The city's drainage pumps were working properly Monday but were unable to keep up with the intense rain, emergency preparedness officials said. They urged motorists to stay off roads.

Flood displaces 120,000 villagers in Nigeria
Emma Amaize
No fewer than 60 communities have either been submerged or ravaged by a charging flood in four states of the Niger-Delta, specifically, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa and Ondo states in the past few weeks with more than 120,000 persons reportedly dislodged following the overflow of the River Niger and the bordering tributaries Vanguard learnt that the kind of flooding that was experienced, this year, has never been experienced in the riverside communities of the Niger-Delta in the past five decades and the situation was not helped by the fact that most of the communities do not have foreshore protective walls and there was no piling or concrete measures taken to prevent flood disaster.

What an encore!
A day after wind gusts of over 60 mph Thursday, Western Washington was "treated" to a second round of storms Friday.
A large cool of very cold, unstable air moved into the region Friday, lighting up the radar with widespread showers that brought heavy rain, large hail, and frequent lightning across the Puget Sound area -- thunderstorms that were certainly big by Northwest standards.

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:09 UTC
No, it wasn't your imagination.
Last week's endless days of rain and leaden skies were, indeed, the stuff of records.
The National Weather Service announced Friday that the 18.91 inches of rain that fell in the Twin Cities during August, September and October set a record -- well before October ends.
Temperatures hit record high in Toronto - warmest October on record
Rachel De Lazzer
Residents who donned their shorts yesterday may find it no surprise it was a record warm day.
Temperatures at Pearson Airport hit 26C, more than twice the normal high for that day. Toronto's last record high for the day was in 1979 when the mercury hit 24C, said Dave Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada.
But it wasn't a one-day deal. This is the city's warmest October on record so far, said Phillips.
Ladybugs Help New York As Pest Killers
It sounds like a horror movie: 720,000 ladybugs on the attack in Manhattan.
In this real life story, however, the red-and-black bugs have been unleashed on the 80-acre grounds of one of New York's biggest apartment complexes with a mission: eat pests infesting the neatly landscaped property.
The ladybugs from Bozeman, Mont., arrived at the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village complex on Manhattan's East Side on Thursday afternoon, packed in boxes shipped by a natural gardening company.

This recipe comes straight out of my tasteofhome BEST LOVED Recipes cookbook.
If you can only have ONE cookbook, this is the one.
This recipe makes about 16 fabulous, mouth watering, and uber flavorful pumpkin cupcakes.
Hands down, my favorite pumpkin cupcake EVER.
In a large bowl, beat shortening until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture will appear curdled). Beat in syrup and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, ginger and allspice; add to shortening mixture and beat just until moistened. Stir in pumpkin and pineapple.
Fill in paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
For frosting, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add confectioner's sugar; beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes.
If you end up making these, be sure to tell me how it went in the comments below!

After trying my best to resist yet another derivative Bhangra track I finally crumbled and now think that this is the best thing ever. I never claimed to not be fickle.

They're talking about Tammie Jo Shults, the steel-nerved pilot who saved the day. They're talking about Andrew Needum and real estate agent Tim McGinty and retired nurse Peggy Phillips who all tried to save the life of a fellow passenger who was dying right before their eyes.
Southwest flight 1380 has become an immediate American legend. On YouTube chatrooms and Facebook pages, the cool-headed Shults who safely landed the hobbled Boeing 737 is being compared to Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, a fellow hero in the annals of modern-day aviation.
This story is tailor-made for social media. Fueled by passengers' first-hand accounts and videos from inside the damaged jet and aeronautics experts spitballing probable causes of the mishap, the online commentary in the aftermath of this week's deadly accident has made for some compelling reading.
People are in awe of the heroism displayed on board 1380. They are horrified and saddened by the death of Jennifer Riordan, the passenger sucked half-way out a window obliterated by shrapnel from a blown-out engine. And they are flabbergasted at how many of the passengers seemed to have no idea how to properly don an oxygen mask.
Let's start with a fascinating tutorial on the incident by Petter Hörnfeldt, a European pilot trainer based in Girona, Spain, who used his Mentour Pilot YouTube channel this week to unpack the incident. Until the NTSB investigators wrap up their incident report, Hörnfeldt's presentation will serve as the next-best-thing to an official explanation of what happened.
"In case of cabin depressurization, please place the oxygen mask over your mouth AND NOSE…" that's my takeaway from the passenger videos," writes Phil Rabe on YouTube. "Great teamwork, and leadership! I mistakenly thought this was practiced at least annually, thanks for making clear that this was TWO emergencies. I was too blase over the job done by the Captain and her crewmates."
"Michael" writes that "having spent twenty-five years in the airline industry we routinely trained for the unexpected. However, no matter how much you train it's next to impossible to prepare for every unimaginable scenario such as this one. Clearly the crew made the correct split second decisions with the most favorable outcome. "
"Preliminary findings of the NTSB show that the no.13 fan blade of engine no.1 was missing," says William Reid. "It appears to have broken away at the hub. There is evidence of metal fatigue in the area where the blade broke. Also, a part of the no.1 engine cowling was reported to have been found at Burnville, PA."
Down on the ground in Pennsylvania, the local ABC news station reported that pieces of the blown engine turned up in Berks County. "It all started when folks in this rural area reported seeing large metal fragments scattered on a farm in Penn Township," said their report. "People who live nearby say they were stunned when they learned that those were fragments from the Southwest plane.
""I have always been concerned about stuff happening with aircrafts flying so close to where we live – we live in a flight zone – but now I know there is a need to be concerned," said Alicia Miller of Bernville, Pa.

"Nova Man" wishes that "seat belts were required at all times. A buckled seat belt may have saved a life instead of losing 1 passenger. Passengers who unbuckle can injure others when they go flying around the cabin during turbulence or other emergencies."
Praise, of course, was effusive and widespread for Shults.
Tammie Jo Shults, pictured left, was the pilot of Southwest Flight 1380 when an engine failed mid-air. She is being hailed as a hero for safely landing the plane.

And the Twittersphere couldn't get enough samples of that mesmerizing conversation between 1380's cockpit crew and various traffic controllers 30,000 feet below them.

Q: Difference of mongoose transaction session on save and on find Is there a difference between these two approach.
const something = Model.findById(id).
something.save({ session })

const something = Model.findById(id).session(({ session })
something.save()

When testing it, the functionality is the same. What should be right way to use session in mongoose transaction.

A: first of all in transaction you need to async/await,
const something = await Model.findById(id).
await something.save({ session })

but transactions let you execute multiple operations in isolation and potentially undo all the operations if one of them fails and the primary goal of a transaction is to let you update multiple documents in MongoDB in isolation.
but in your example you update one collection, and don't need to transaction. let's move on... see the following exmaple, in this example result is diffrence, this create() is part of the transaction because of the session and transactions execute in isolation, so unless you pass a session to findOne() you won't see the result until the transaction is committed. so result of findOne is Null
const session = await db.startSession();
session.startTransaction();
await Model.create([{ name: 'Test' }], { session: session });
let result = await Model.findOne({ name: 'Test' });//without session
session.endSession();

in the following exapmle, this findOne() will return the result, because passing the session means this findOne() will run as part of the transaction.
const session = await db.startSession();
session.startTransaction();
await Model.create([{ name: 'Test' }], { session: session });
let result = await Model.findOne({ name: 'Test' }).session(session);
session.endSession();

If you get a Mongoose document from findOne() or find() using a session the document will keep a reference to the session and use that session for save(), in the following example
Won't find the result because save() is part of an uncommitted transaction, but firstReuslt is not Null
const session = await db.startSession();
session.startTransaction();
await Model.create({ name: 'Test' });
const something  = await Model.findOne({ name: 'Test' }).session(session);
something.name = 'firstTest';
await something.save();

let result = await Model.findOne({ name: 'firstTest' }); //Is Null
await session.commitTransaction();
session.endSession();

firstReuslt = await Model.findOne({ name: 'firstTest' });//Is Not Null

if you want update two collection like following code, should use save({ session: sess }) but when you want update one collection you don't need because:
if you get a Mongoose document from findOne() or find() using a session the document will keep a reference to the session and use that session for save():
const sess = await mongoose.startSession();
sess.startTransaction();
await first.save({ session: sess });
await second.save({ session: sess });
await sess.commitTransaction();

A remotely operated vehicle caught the moment a rarely seen deep-sea octopus ate a jellyfish and dragged its tentacles, possibly to use for defense.
The species, Haliphron atlanticus, is rarely seen alive and most of its life is a mystery to researchers.
That's why scientists were baffled when a large, rarely seen octopus known as the Haliphron atlanticus was spotted clutching an egg-yolk jellyfish in its arms. Scientists were able to see the female octopus's behavior when a camera on a remotely operated vehicle zoomed toward the creature, revealing the jellyfish clutched under the animal's cage-like underbelly.
The footage was filmed 1,240 feet below the surface of the ocean in Monterey Submarine Canyon. It's existence far below sea means that much of its population size, geographic distribution, and potential threats are largely unknown.
Egg-yolk jellyfish are not known to be packed with nutrients, a fact that baffled scientists upon first observation. It's believed that the H. atlanticus, which can grow up to 13 feet and weigh as much as 165 pounds, has a slow metabolism. So while the jellyfish's gelatinous top might not have been rich in nutrients, the biomass from the remainder of its body likely sustains the large cephalopod.
As to why H. atlanticus held on to its prey after feeding, Steven Haddock, a senior scientist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, believes this may have been done for defense.
Jellyfish tentacles are still capable of stinging even after death. Researchers postulate that given the way the octopus is letting the tentacles drag behind it, the animal may be wielding the stinging cells for defense or to catch more prey.
Haddock co-wrote a paper on the strange behavior with Henk-Jan Hoving of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, which they published in the journal Nature . They examined the stomach contents of five additional specimens and found jellyfish and other gelatinous zooplankton. Their paper confirmed that the interaction was the first known sighting of H. atlanticus feeding on this surprising choice of prey.
While this was the first time an H. atlanticus octopus had been observed exhibiting this type of behavior, it's not the first time an octopus has been known to wield a jellyfish to its advantage.
Male blanket octopuses, which are immune to the stings of Portuguese man o' war, have been observed wielding them like weapons as a form of defense, and football octopuses have been found residing inside salps, a similarly gelatinous sea creature.

Q: R: The foreach does not work with exporting figure out, such as png or ggsave I am trying to run foreach and doParallel in my local machine (Mac Pro 2009 with 12 cores or Macbook Pro 2017). Once there is plot or device-out, such as png or ggsave, the foreach stucked --- deadlock.
UPDATE on Aug 29 2019: I made a simple test:
library(foreach)
library(doParallel)
library(ggplot2)
registerDoParallel(cores = 4)
ret.plot=foreach(i = 1:4) %dopar% {
  write(1:1, paste0(i, '_p.txt'))
  md=data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10);
  p=ggplot(md, aes(x=x, y=y))+geom_point();
}

# for(i in 1:4){
ret.save1=foreach(i = 1:4) %do% {
  ggsave(filename = paste0(i, '_do.png'), ret.plot[[i]])
}

ret.save2=foreach(i = 1:4) %dopar% {
  ggsave(filename = paste0(i, '_dopar.png'), ret.plot[[i]])
}

# ret.save2=foreach(i = 1:4, .packages = c("ggplot2")) %dopar% {
#   ggsave(filename = paste0(i, '_dopar.png'), ret.plot[[i]])
# }

The 1st parallel loop ret.plot=... works, that exports four .txt files, and return the list of ggplot results.
The 2nd loop, both for(i in 1:4) or foreach with %do% work pefectly.
BUT, the 3rd loop, foreach with %dopar% stucks again.
So it indicates 1)the parallel works alright in my machine, and 2) there may be a compatible issue between plot functions (base::plot or ggsave) and parallel.
The activity monitor on Mac shows four rsession are runing background and the CPU fan works harder. There is no difference in R in Terminal or RStudio.

library(foreach)
library(doParallel)
library(ggplot2)
fxp<- function(x){
  png(paste0(x, '_p.png')) ;
  plot(1:10);
  dev.off()
}
fxg <-function(x){
  md=data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10);
  p=ggplot(md, aes(x=x, y=y))+geom_point();

cl <- 4
registerDoParallel(cl)
x=foreach(i =1:4) %dopar% {
  # for( i in 1:2){
  fxp(i);
  fxg(i)
}

There is no error, but program stops in the foreach.
Test1: If I run fxp() only and turn plot(1:10) OFF, the program works.
Test2: If I run fxg() only and turn ggsave OFF, the program works.
Test3: Once plot or ggsave is ON, the program enter deadlock in the foreach.
The test on another Linux machine (a cluster machine) with identical code works correctly always.

A: I've expected the same issue using png() in a %dopar% on Mac OS (linux and Windows work fine).
This is somethings due to forking mechanism and graphics device on Mac Os (and maybe png() implementation).
If you do some things like this, you will see that no new graphics device is created by png:
fxp<- function(x){
    print(dev.cur())
    png(paste0(x, '_p.png')) ;
    print(dev.cur())
    plot(1:10);
    dev.off()
}

## quartz_off_screen
##               2

It seems that "quartz" can't open new graphic device in fork mode.
Let try with "Xlib" png(type="Xlib"), what a lovely message :

"a forked child should not open a graphics device"

This confirms our doubts... but it "should not" not "can't"
Solutions
Use 1 core
Use %dopar% with 1 core works but this is not very useful.
cl <- 1
registerDoParallel(cl)

So lets try with "cairo" :
fxp<- function(x){
    png(paste0(x, '_p.png'), type = "cairo", bg = "white") ;
    plot(1:10);
    dev.off()
}

It's working ! (for me on Mac OS)

A: Thank @jfrey, You are right. I have to use cairo. Also, it require X11.
Here is something I found and solves my problem.
1. install R from r-project instead of homebrew.
2. type = 'cairo' as jfrey suggested.
The R on my Mac is installed from homebrew, so the capabilities() return X11=FALSE.
Then I uninstalled the R from homebrew, then download and install the R for Mac from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/. Then the capabilities() returns X11=TRUE.
Then the parallel code with type='cairo' works perfectly on my Mac.
 capabilities()

     jpeg         png        tiff       tcltk         X11        aqua
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE
   http/ftp     sockets      libxml        fifo      cledit       iconv
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE
        NLS     profmem       cairo         ICU long.double     libcurl
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE

A thread might be useful: RStudio on Mac OS X 10.13 getting X11 is not available error when trying to use fix()
I confirmed with code blow:
library(foreach)
library(doParallel)
library(ggplot2)
fxp<- function(x){
  png(paste0(x, '_p.png'), type = "cairo") ;
  plot(1:10);
  dev.off()
}
fxg <-function(x){
  md=data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10);
  p=ggplot(md, aes(x=x, y=y))+geom_point();
  ggsave(filename = paste0(x, '_g.png'), p, type = "cairo")
}
fxp(0);fxg(0)

cl <- 4
registerDoParallel(cl)
x=foreach(i =1:4) %dopar% {
  fxp(i);
  fxg(i)
}

Q: C# JSON Custom Result List Name How can I override C#'s JSON response from <MethodName>Results to the class name?
It always returns the methodname+Results.  Is there a way for me to change it to the classname instead?
Or am I doing something wrong on my code?
Here's my Exchange_Reason class
[DataContract]
public class Exchange_Reason
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Exchange_Reason_ID { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string Reason { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

My Service Contract
[OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate = "getExchange_Reason_List")]
    List<Exchange_Reason> GetExchange_Reason_List();

The implementation
public List<Exchange_Reason> GetExchange_Reason_List()
{
     List<Exchange_Reason> results = new List<Exchange_Reason>();
     ...
     while (reader.Read())
     {
           results.Add(new Exchange_Reason()
           {
                 Exchange_Reason_ID = reader["Exchange_Reason_ID"].ToString(),
                 Reason = reader["Reason"].ToString(),
                 Status = reader["Status"].ToString()
           });
     }
     return results;
}

And the results
{
    GetExchange_Reason_ListResult: [
        {
            Exchange_Reason_ID: "1000001",
            Reason: "Rotten",

        },
        {
            Exchange_Reason_ID: "1000002",
            Reason: "Expired",
            Status: "Active"
        }
    ]
}

I need it to be:
{
    Exchange_Reasons: [
        {
            Exchange_Reason_ID: "1000001",
            Reason: "Rotten",
            Status: "Active"
        },
        {
            Exchange_Reason_ID: "1000002",
            Reason: "Expired",
            Status: "Active"
        }
    ]
}

Thanks in advance.

A: that because your BodyStyle is wrapped. at first remove BodyStyle from your WebInvoke then wrap your output the way you want. i assume you want this:
 [DataContract]
public class GetExchange_Reason_ListResult
{
    [DataMember]
    public Exchange_Reason[] Exchange_Reasons { get; set; }
}

public class Exchange_Reason
{
    public string Exchange_Reason_ID { get; set; }
    public string Reason { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

your method should be like this:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "getExchange_Reason_List")]
GetExchange_Reason_ListResult GetExchange_Reason_List();
