Paul Tirésias Augustin Simon Sam (May 15, 1835 – May 11, 1916) was the President of Haiti from 31 March 1896 to 12 May 1902. He resigned the presidency just before completing his six-year term.

Biography
Born in the year 1835, Tirésias Simon Sam was a well-received politician and he rose to become the country's president in the year 1896. Sam resigned before completion of his presidential term. His political popularity has seen several postage stamps in Haiti bear his likeness. There were reports that Victoire Jean-Baptiste, the president's mistress, had much influence on his leadership.

According to the constitution of Haiti, Sam was elected as the new Haitian President, a week after his predecessor Hyppolite died. Sam was instituted by the National Assembly which held a meeting in Port-au-Prince on 31 March 1896. Before the new position, Sam was the Secretary of War for Haiti. His new term was to run for a period of seven years according to the Haitian constitution.

All the relevant people in governance had accepted the election of the new president. Sam was sworn in on 1 April 1896.

Despite humiliation and pressure from foreign authorities, especially the United States and Germany, Haiti remained calm during the reign of Sam.

Sam's predecessors had majored on infrastructure development, something that Sam embraced. During his governance a new structure to hold the country's Court of Justice was started in Port-au-Prince. New railways were constructed to connect major towns to the Haitian capital. In 1900, Simon Sam's government signed a treaty with France for reciprocity. In 1902 the US also signed a treaty with Haiti on naturalization.

Concerning Sam's term in office, the Haitian General Assembly had misinterpreted the constitution. The issue had been published in local newspapers and was raising concerns. Whereas the National Assembly had declared that Sam was to remain in office until 15 May 1903 this was contrary to the Haitian constitution. According to the Constitution of Haiti, article 93 reads: "In case of the death, resignation, or dismissal of the President, his successor is appointed for seven years, and his power must always cease on 15 May, even if the seventh year of his term be not completed." This article was applicable to the presidential term of Simon Sam. His election was on 31 March 1896 and so he was supposed to leave the presidential seat on 15 May 1902.

Sam wrote a letter of resignation to the Haitian National Assembly on 12 May 1902, three days before the constitutional expiry of his presidential term. He left Port-au-Prince the following day. After Sam's resignation, Haiti was left in the hands of an interim government that was led by General Boisrond Canal, a former head of state of the country. This provisional government was responsible for maintaining law and order before an election of a legal president.

The cousin of Sam, Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, was also a President of Haiti for only five months in 1915. His mistress, Victoire Jean-Baptiste, is said to have had some influence over him.

Lori Loughlin Thinks She's Being Penalized In Scam Because She's Famous
posted by Emily Lee - May 15, 2019
Felicity Huffman appeared in court on Monday (May 13) to formally plead guilty for her involvement in the college admissions scandal. Prosecutors recommended Huffman spend four months in jail for her crimes. According to source close to Lori Loughlin, the actress has been following Huffman's case closely. Unlike Huffman, Loughlin has no plans to plead guilty for her own alleged involvement in the scam. If convicted, she faces up to 40 years in prison.
"Lori is watching Felicity's case very closely," the source told People. "She's relieved that it doesn't look like the prosecution is making an example of Felicity, and is adhering to the law."
"Her big worry was that she would be treated unfairly as one of the more famous people involved in the case," the source explained. "She's afraid of being penalized for her fame, but it looks like prosecutors may be making a good faith effort to treat each defendant fairly."
Huffman, though, has been cooperative since the beginning, while Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Gianulli have not. This may mean the prosecution will come down harder on them during their trial. Huffman's bribes reportedly consisted of 15k, as well, while Loughlin's was reportedly 500k.
Another source revealed that Loughlin's legal woes are her primary focus right now. "Since Lori isn't working, this is the focus for her," the source told People. "It's obviously not the healthiest focus. She still seems stressed and worried about the future. It's kind of like this surreal situation." We'll just have to wait and see how this all shakes out for Loughlin and Gianulli.

The Bend: A Speculation on History and Science
Marvin Eli Kirsh
https://web.archive.org/web/20170922015902/http://dlc.dlib.indiana.edu/dlc/bitstream/handle/10535/4948/The%20Bend%20100%20thesis%20and%20ref.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
Thesis It is proposed that social and scientific conceptualizations of nature, reflected from perplexity involving mind matter paradox, logic and illogic, surface to be not only self defining but diverging from the course of whole nature as a result of freely applied will. Both reflexively and thoughtfully reflected assessments of the natural elements containing false notions of proximity are responsible for human psychical impulse in response to naturally occurred, though abnormally caused more » ... normally caused impulse to cause suffering, resulting in the application of physical impulse to the environment. In order to expose this situation, the contents of Einsteins' theory of relativity and Euclids' Parallel Postulate are discussed in a perspective in which all point of reference is argued to contain specific physical attachments to emerged courses of history. A physical and conceptual (reflecting paradox of matter and mind, respectively) bend is proposed to have emerged on all levels from a unique and chronic (with respect to the age of civilization) physical problem that is conjectured to be of the same nature -i.e. a physical bend. The course of the earth civilization and nature (proposed to possess the natural feature of 'bend' innately) are theorized to diverge from one another as a result of freely propagated impulse by civilization, over its' course, of a natural physical disturbance. Abstract The age of human civilization is given the name "the bend" based on a re-examination of the emergence of science, science theory content, and history. Introduction Civilization, existing over its course, in darkness to the nature of its partnership with the elements, oscillates in a romance that alternates between logical explanation, the rational, and illogical as they are presented to it from the external. Its" course, set on the logical sorting of the worlds elements, life experience, necessarily reflects those conditions, and thus emerges to parallel perceptions in a similar manner. If in human reflections alternate conditions do not exist that do not exceed perceptions and physically applied cognitions, a potentially blinded, self defining course exists. Both civilization and separate nature are, in this circumstance, though mutually equal as entities of perspective dependant logic and illogic, potentially pursue parallel though unequal courses (Maxwell, 2001) . It is necessarily the case that actual path differentials, composed of logical and illogic are the real enumerator of life kinds" footing. Prominent scholarly works , judged to be exemplary of historical behavior and that focus on the emergence of path will be critically examined in order to argue that civilization and its" external spaces are modulated differentially-one, (civilization), by its" own will as a construct of the experienced logical and illogical, the other (nature) by its" empathy for the future, the open, a repulsion of the past but not the contiguity of its" path. The era of human civilization will be named the "bend" to reflect both an innate property of nature and an evolved division between the course of nature and that of mankind. Euclid, Newton and Einstein It appears that in the geometrical renditions of Euclid the universe, earth is more qualified in description to the sensual character of physical connection, i.e. the ability to touch, a quality of "possessing" that defines the world and today is propagated as a reflexively acquired concept from perception " what is open is open for grabs", whether or not seen as possessing the intersections and mechanical connections that confined conceptually the world of the Greeks, Euclids" unproven Parallel Postulate demarcates a tangible divide between the presented world and what lay beyond in the realms of the infinite and eternal. Modern mathematical renditions,

L6 Wombat - brytyjskie działo bezodrzutowe. L6 i  ppk Vickers Vigilant były batalionowymi broniami przeciwpancernymi armii brytyjskiej. Działa L6 zastąpiły w latach 70. wcześniejsze L1 BAT i L4 Mobat. Z uzbrojenia zostały wycofane w latach 80. po wprowadzeniu do uzbrojenia ppk Euromissile Milan

Działo L6 było bronią gwintowaną, odtylcową. Działo było wyposażone w celownik optyczny i karabin M8 kalibru 12,7 mm zainstalowany nad lufa służący do wstępnego wstrzelania się w cel. Podstawa dwukołowa umożliwiała przetaczanie lub holowanie działa L6 na niewielkie odległości, na większych dystansach działo było przewożone samochodem terenowym. L6 była także instalowana na transporterach opancerzonych FV432.

Podstawowym typem pocisku wystrzeliwanego z działa L6 był HESH, do zwalczania piechoty stosowano kartacze.

This pre-registration nursing programme prepares Master entry-level Registered Nurses. The admitted students are Bachelor's degree holders in any discipline. The programme prepares students for registration with the Nursing Council of Hong Kong as Registered Nurses and to acquire the attributes to become future leaders in the profession.
To equip students for holistic care that encompasses safe, ethical, legal, culturally sensitive nursing therapeutics provided to clients of all ages and their families in various healthcare settings.
To prepare students to acquire the attributes of future nurse leaders through appraisal and translation of new knowledge in advancing nursing practice.
This is a collaborative programme of the School of Nursing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is the first university in Hong Kong to offer a pre-registration degree programme in nursing for graduates from other disciplines.
The School of Nursing at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital was established in 1927, and it is the only private hospital in Hong Kong with a school offering a curriculum for registered nurses.
The motto of the School of Nursing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is "To Excel in Nursing for the Well-being of Mankind", whilst that of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is "Quality in Service and Excellence in Care".
The collaboration of the two institutions ensures the quality preparation of future registered nurses and will raise the profile of the nursing profession in Hong Kong.
The programme combines basic preparation for professional qualification with advanced preparation to enable students to become competent reflective practitioners in the nursing profession.
The programme is accreditated by the Nursing Council of Hong Kong and graduates are eligible to apply for registration as Registered Nurses (General).
This programme embraces all of the theoretical components required for registration with the Nursing Council of Hong Kong. These include the introductory and applied subjects, plus subjects on biology, social sciences, professional studies and humanities that develop students' understanding of the biological and psychosocial dimensions of the human condition and health care.
The structure runs from simple to complex, covering child and adult care, maternal care, mental health nursing, community nursing, gerontological nursing and nursing research. Students are required to complete a clinical research project in the final year to consolidate their knowledge in research in a clinical nursing focus. Supervised field practice is organised throughout the study to integrate theory and practice.
In accordance with University Regulations Governing Professional Master Degree Awards, the prerequisite for admission is completion of a Bachelor's degree from a recognised university.

(tel: 2766 4369; fax: 2364 9663; email: sn.enquiry@polyu.edu.hk; website: sn.polyu.edu.hk).
I have gained more out of this programme than I expected. The programme not only focuses on academic and skill training, it also gives students new experiences. In the second year of my study, I took up the role of a teaching assistant, and it was challenging. I got a sense of satisfaction from my students when they told me that they had become more confident in performing certain skills. The experience has helped me to become more confident in caring for patients in real-life situations.
I also joined the student ambassador scheme and the overseas exchange programme, which helped me to learn more about nursing and my career pathway. I believe that the three-year programme has equipped me to be a competent nurse and a life-long learner ready to face any challenges that may lie ahead.
TWO recommendation forms (AS812) are required for your application. Please fill in Part A and then invite two recommenders to fill in Part B.

Q: Android AllDay events start or finish on the wrong day I am working on an android app whose goal is to synchronize events between a PHP application and the smartphone. Everything work fine for "regular" events, but I have an issue with "all day" events. I followed the official Android documentation, setting the EVENT_TIMEZONE to UTC and setting timestamps for dtstart and dtend that corresponds to midnight UTC.
However, depending on the phone timezone at event creation time, when I open Google Calendar, events are:

*

*Showing correctly when phone timezone is GMT+2

*Starting one day before when phone timezone is GMT-11 -> GMT+1

*Finishing one day after when phone timezone is GMT+3 -> GMT+13

You should know that my tests are made in France and we currently are at GMT+2. Google Calendar is configured to use the phone timezone.
Here is a dump of event's information before insertion :
06-22 17:41:02.339: V/EventEntity - addToCalendar(6535):
Event to be inserted :
    calendar_id=8
    dtstart=1466719200000      ( = 24/6/2016 0:00:00 )
    eventLocation=
    title=Server AllDay Event
    dtend=1466805600000        ( = 25/6/2016 0:00:00 )
    allDay=true
    description=
    hasAlarm=1
    eventStatus=1
    eventTimezone=UTC

and here is the code of the method that does the event's insertion, where the previous log comes from :
Context context = AppContext.getAppContext();
ContentValues eventValues = this.getValuesForCalendar();

Log.v("EventEntity - addToCalendar", "Event to be inserted : " + eventValues);

Uri eventUri = context.getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"), eventValues);
this.setSystem_id(Long.parseLong(eventUri.getLastPathSegment()));

// === RAPPEL DE RDV ===
String reminderUriString = "content://com.android.calendar/reminders";

ContentValues reminderValues = new ContentValues();

reminderValues.put("event_id", this.getSystem_id());
reminderValues.put("minutes", 5);

// Default(0), Alert(1), Email(2), SMS(3)
reminderValues.put("method", 0);

context.getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse(reminderUriString), reminderValues);
// =====================

And still, when events are showing correctly, if phone timezone is changed, events span on previous or next day. The behavior in not the same with "all day" events created with Google Calendar :
Events with phone at GMT+2 :

Events with phone's timezone changed to GMT-1 :

So I dumped the calendar with those all day events in it, one created with my app and another created with Google Calendar :

As you can see, the event created through Google Calendar is set to start at 2AM and not at midnight! So I tried setting the dstart and dtend timestamps to midnight at phone timezone (ie at 2AM if phone's timezone is GMT+2, or 23PM the day before if GMT-1) but events are still spanning to previous or next day.
In a nutshell: I'm lost and I don't get how to have correct all day events that start and end at the right day and won't move around the calendar when phone's timezone changes !

The traffic question is "a central issue for the Smart City"
Archive June 2015
L'Atelier met up with Arvind Satyam, an expert on the 'Smart City' and the Internet of Things. He analyses for us the major advances that are likely to bring radical change to the cities of tomorrow.
Arvind Satyam is Managing Director for Global Business Development at CISCO Systems Industry Solutions Group. He manages the global business development team for Cisco's 'Internet of Everything' initiative for Cities. He works with local authorities to help them adopt Internet of Things technology for all their activities.
L'Atelier: What's the main driver in your job as business developer for Smart City projects?
Arvind Satyam: On the one hand, we're trying to figure out how, by connecting a range of technologies on to a network, a common platform, we can change the way a city is managed and transform the daily lives of its residents. When you walk through Paris sometime in the future, what will have changed? And then we're trying to understand how we can get these technologies adopted on a large scale today.
What's hindering adoption, then?
One of the main obstacles we see is that despite their desire to make the world a more connected place, cities still lack the means to do so. So we're trying to get other parties around the table, private investors who can contribute much-needed funding.
Are these investments likely to prove profitable?
There's an analogy I like to use. In the past there was a lot of infrastructure that needed building: bridges, roads, housing, and so on – all of these investments were expensive at the time but profitable in the long run. Most of this infrastructure has now been built, and we think that the next phase will involve grafting the new technologies on to the old. Take lighting, for instance. Some cities are now moving from traditional lighting to LEDs, light-emitting diodes. The drive to consume less energy is encouraging this change, but there are more pragmatic reasons: smart lighting actually costs 60% less. So an investor who chooses to finance the project knows that his/her own electricity bill is also going to be considerably less as a result. Cities no longer have to beg for financing; they can demonstrate to their stakeholders that the returns will be positive for everybody.
Apart from this particular example, what aspect of the smart city do you think will be uppermost in the near future?
Well, there's one thing that is a problem in every city in the world: traffic. It's a nightmare, whether you're in Paris, Dubai, Frankfurt or San Francisco. Now, you can't solve the problem by increasing road size or the number of roads, there isn't the space. So how can we use technology to help traffic flow more smoothly? This question is a central issue for the 'smart city'. In order to deal with it we need to gather and share data: to install sensors on cars, and ensure that they communicate with each other and with their environment, so that we can warn drivers about accidents up ahead, make traffic lights work in a 'smart' fashion, adapting to the flow of traffic, and so on. I think this is going to be a major trend. The traffic situation as we know it today will change, with very beneficial consequences. Many people spend two or three hours a day commuting to work, so just imagine the potential gains, if only in terms of GDP. A number of startups are already working on collecting data from citizens and this is an interesting development. Five years ago, if you had asked me whether citizens were happy to share their data on traffic flows, I wouldn't have known how to answer. Today, this is actually happening, and it helps us for example to identify road accident hotspots.
There's no denying the potential benefit, but do you think that gathering personal data could jeopardise people's privacy?
Firstly I think that as citizens our notion of 'privacy' has changed: many of us put our personal data online. We're part of this phenomenon. However, I don't believe we've reached the stage where we feel OK about videos that we're in being circulated without our consent. But the fact is, staying with the example of cameras for a moment, even though they're all taking pictures non-stop, the images are only used when an alarm is raised. Two weeks ago I was with the man who was the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department at the time of the Boston marathon attack. The police were able to identify the suspects from photos and videos taken by private individuals and shopkeepers who all agreed to give them to the police. I think that when there's a problem we're all ready to share our data. The important thing is that people know when the data is being used and what for.
Aside from data-sharing, could encouraging teleworking be one solution to improve traffic flows in tomorrow's cities?
Absolutely. We're working a lot on that, especially in France. Do you really have to go into the centre of Paris every day to work? I don't think so. This is why I believe that the future will also be about working in collaborative spaces, which enable people to use an office when they need one – to meet customers, for example – and to work remotely the rest of the time. Encouraging teleworking also allows innovation to take root in places other than Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux, and so on. With today's technologies, it really doesn't matter where you happen to be.

Most of you know that I'm primarily an FX Trader however for the last 8 months I've increasingly been trading the major Indices (S&P, DJ30, DAX & FTSE). For some reason my price action strategies have been generating nice signals, trades and results so who am I to argue?
Anyway here's a video of a couple of recent Indices trades from the S&P and the FTSE. The S&P closed out last week but the FTSE one is still trundling along.
There are some lovely set-ups on the 240, daily & weekly Indices charts. Take a look and have some fun!
Until next time, trade well.
As mentioned in my video I expected the FTSE to move a little further north on its retrace and hit my trailing stop. Well be careful what you wish for….because that's what happened this morning. The FTSE gapped higher on opening, moved north, hit my stop at 5470 and then rolled over and dropped 80 points! Had I been day trading then it would have been a great place to get short. As it was my trade was closed on its trailing stop for 30 points of profit. Meh. These things happen, I just followed my rules. Anyway now watch as it slides down to my original target of 5200!


The attack lasted for 34 months. For ransom they were holding several schools, hospitals, universities not in one but in several counties. Through this those convicted persons were earning millions of dollars.
But somehow two Iranians were charged for the attack as the US prosecutors believe so.
The news has been spread that those 2 men were carrying some ransomware attack. Which included a spiteful software that happens to lock systems and other files and can only be free if paid fees.
Also, there were 2 other Iranians who were authorized by the US Treasury for simplifying the substitute of Bitcoin into Iran's monetization which is known as Rial.
230 victims suffered for the scheme that valued more than 30 million dollars.
5 different govt. departments were affected of the city called Atlanta in the US with the ransomware called SamSam. This affected the inhabitants as they were not being able to pay their utility bills.
The FBI also mentioned about the victims in the UK and Canada.
"To execute the SamSam ransomware attack, cyber actors exploit computer network vulnerabilities to gain access and copy the SamSam ransomware into the network. Once in the network, these cyber actors use the SamSam ransomware to gain administrator rights that allow them to take control of a victim's servers and files, without the victim's authorization.


a glimpse into her daily routine from the time she wakes up to a vintage Hermès clock until she crawls into bed with husband David Bowie.
"I love to use Fresh Sugar Face Polish on my body. I'm also obsessed with Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Body Moisturizer; I mix it with a bit of Neroli Portofino Body Oil," Iman says of her morning beauty routine. "My wardrobe depends on what I have to do that day, but it almost always consists of pants — either 7 for All Mankind or J Brand jeans, or something tailored. I live in Rachel Zoe pants; I have numerous pairs."
Iman also likes to have a David Kirsch Vanilla Protein Plus shake with strawberries, blueberries and blackberries or an Organic Avenue Green Coco juice for breakfast before hitting the gym for yoga, cardio or weights.
In the evenings, she uses products from her own beauty collection and SK-II products to get rid of the day's wear from her face.
"I start to get ready for bed by washing my face with SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser, and then I apply my Iman Time Control Skin Tone Evener to keep my hyperpigmentation in check, followed by Iman Firm Defense Eye Cream. During the winter months, I also use SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream, and I apply Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Advanced Therapy for added hydration."
She makes sure to spend time with her 12-year-old daughter Lexi and tuck her into bed before slipping into something comfy — or nothing at all — and calling it a night.

Twitter locks Trump's account for 12 hours
(NEXSTAR) – Twitter said Wednesday it had locked the account of President Donald Trump for 12 hours following a series of disputed tweets posted by the president in the wake of the demonstrations at the Capitol.
"In regard to the ongoing situation in Washington, D.C., we are working proactively to protect the health of the public conversation occurring on the service and will take action on any content that violates the Twitter Rules," the tech company announced.

"This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets," Twitter added hours later. "If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked."
The company added that "future violations of the Twitter Rules" would result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.
Twitter said three of Trump's tweets violated its "Civic integrity policy," which reads: "You may not use Twitter's services for the purposes of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes.

I spent last weekend in this amazing Serbian city and it was such a pleasure to discover what it had to offer. Truth be told, I didn't know much about it before getting there. Heck, I knew almost nothing! I even thought it was just a tiny town while it turned out it's the 2nd largest city in Serbia with around 250,000 inhabitants! Plus, it has an incredibly rich history, dotted with unfortunate and sad happenings, that molded it and its inhabitants into what we see today. Did you know it's also in the race to become a European Capital of Culture in 2021?! And if you ask me.. the chances are high!
Luckily, the weather was fabulous for most of the time: sunny, although a bit cold, yet perfect to enjoy a coffee at one of the plentiful street terraces – that if you could find a seat! From Friday morning to Sunday morning Novi Sad was bustling with life on the streets, people taking a walk or just relaxing on a bench, handmade merchants, children running around and giggling, colorful balloons, (roller) skaters. At lunch, the restaurants were all full! We barely found a seat outside in the cold at a lovely location (thankfully, the waiter moved us inside as soon as there was a free table).
This is what I loved most about Novi Sad: the hustle and bustle at the core of the city contrasting with the silence around the Fortress area. I loved seeing people spend the good weather outside with their friends and family, having fun, enjoying life simply. Add to the list the cleanliness of the streets, the well-kept buildings and the amazing Serbian food and you've got the recipe for spending a nice weekend getaway in a city that offers you anything you need to have a good time.
What to see: the old city center (duh!) and the Petrovaradin Fortress. You might also want to chill out on the beach by the Danube (around 15-20 minutes walk away from the center). If you're a music aficionado, add to the list the Exit Festival in July (and it's Sea Dance edition).
Where to eat: we had lunch at Masa and breakfast at Corso (twice!). Also, we had burgers at the Red Cow pub. I recommend any of these wholeheartedly! We had great experiences in all three and the food was, as I mentioned before already, amazing (plus, really big portions for very affordable prices).
Where to stay: We booked the loveliest tiny apartment via airbnb, perfect for a weekend with everything you could need. And 5 minutes away from the center! Perfect, I tell you!
Eastern Europe interests me a lot. There are probably many up and coming holiday destinations there. This was a good tip. Your photos are amazing!
Thank you Anna! There's so much to see in Eastern Europe – I think you're right when saying there are many up and coming holiday spots around here!
Mmmm.. if only for the food and it's still worth a visit! 😀 Thank you!
These photos are stunning! I really wanted to visit Serbia last time I was in Europe but ran out of time. Next time!
It's funny. I live in Norwich England and just learned about Novi Sad recently because the bridge I live by is named the Novi Sad friendship bridge. For the longest time I thought Novi Sad was a person, then I learned it was Norwich's sister city in Serbia. Nice to see some pictures, would love to visit myself one day.
I'm really keen to visit Serbia and the Balkans in general – it's all so much more interesting than the rest of Europe. I've added this to my list – your photos are stunning!
Thank you Caroline, I'm glad you like them! ^_^ The Balkan countries have a character of their own and they're often way too underrated or advertised badly, but would make for wonderful destinations! I'm sure you'd love them!
I have never even heard of Novi Sad but now I really want to go. It looks amazing! I've never even been to Serbia so I think this needs to be added to my list.
Love your photos! Some of my family actually lives in Belgrade and I have always wanted to go to Novi Sad! My mom went as a child and loved it! Great post!
Well, that's a plan for the next time you're in Belgrade! ;)) Thank you!
Glad my photos inspired you to give it a chance! ^_^ The natural areas out of the cities are also amazing and worth checking them out!
Lovely photos! The food and architecture look amazing. And how convenient to be so near the river beach!
Wow, this place looks amazing! I have only been to Belgrade and Kragujevac in Serbia and I loved both cities and surely loved the food a whole lot! I will look into the distance from Bucharest to Novi Sad and put it on my list 🙂 Love your pictures of this place.
I pics are so adorable. And honestly I knew nothing about this place. Thanks for sharing such an interesting post. Loved it.

The toroidal Field Conductor Insert (TFCI) coil was tested at 46 kA in the 13 T background magnetic field generated by the Central Solenoid Model Coil. The single layer TFCI coil uses a Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductor in a Titanium jacket. The object of this work is to verify the data self-consistency, and to apply a thermal, hydraulic and electrical simulation to derive the strand performance in the cable. We present the results of the analysis in support of the interpretation of a subset of current sharing temperature measurements. After estimation of the n-value in the voltage-current equation, we perform the simulations using the total longitudinal strain as the only fitting parameter; the resulting value is much larger than the value expected from simple thermal contraction considerations.

Research Affiliates: Don't Fear Emerging Markets. Buy the Dip!
The smart beta manager says emerging markets stocks look relatively cheap and the risks of a broad funding crisis are low.
Investors are letting fear of an emerging markets crisis get in the way of a good buying opportunity, according to investment strategy firm Research Affiliates.
They're fleeing funds focused on developing economies even as 60 percent of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index "faces little if any risk of a funding crisis," the firm said in a new blog posted on its website.
Emerging markets countries have become "wealthier and financially healthier" in a more stable global economy, with those under threat making up a small fraction of their combined equity value, according to Research Affiliates. The firm sees the sell-off in developing-markets stocks as overblown, providing a chance to scoop them up on the cheap.
"When the risks and the bad news are well known to the market and fear reigns supreme, it's time to buy, not sell," wrote Research Affiliates' chief investment officer Chris Brightman, macro research head Michele Mazzoleni, and product management head Jonathan Treussard.
Emerging countries have a low risk of a broad funding crisis based on their external debt to gross domestic product ratio, foreign exchange reserves, and current account balances, according to the authors. Plus, their stock markets are trading at cheap levels.
Even after emerging markets stocks delivered a nearly 100 percent total return from early 2016 lows, they remain comparatively cheap when looking at such measures as cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings, market value-to-GDP, and price-to-book ratios, the authors said.
But stocks tied to developing countries have seen a steep drop this year. They tumbled 11 percentage points from their peak this year on January 25 through June 15, according to Research Affiliates, sparking investor concern about a broadening crisis.
While a 10 percent correction in the U.S. market is typically seen as an opportunity to "buy the dip," investors' instinctive reaction to a similar decline in emerging markets is "contagious fear," the Research Affiliates authors said in their blog.
Yet, by their estimates, less than 20 percent of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index seems at elevated risk of a funding crisis.
"With only a few small markets at any material risk of crisis, EM equity markets seems to provide fair compensation for their risks," Brightman and his colleagues concluded.


A Nigerian-born 'prince', who became a local celebrity in a small Russian city after marrying a local woman and moving in, has died under murky circumstances, triggering a police investigation.
Gabriel Segun Ajayi, 32, was reported dead by the local authorities on Monday. His wife Natalia, 50, said her husband suffered a massive heart attack on Sunday night at a nightclub.
"He just dropped dead. He didn't take any medicine, simply had some tea," she said. "He never complained about his heart." The police said that while there were no signs of foul play in the case, an autopsy will be conducted to establish the cause of the death.
Gabriel, who has been living in Russia since 2015, is survived by twin boys, who were born last year. The lovers got to know each other through an online dating service and initially had to use Google Translate to break through the language barrier. .
Gabriel reportedly had difficulties with getting a Russian visa, so their first chance to see each other in person came in 2013, when Natalia traveled to Nigeria to meet the man's family.
During the trip, the two married in Lagos and had a week of festivities. Natalia's son from first marriage, Anatoly, is an adult with a family of his own.
He said while he initially was skeptical about the new father-in-law, he changed his opinion after meeting him and seeing how happy Natalia was with the new husband.
For several years Gabriel couldn't get a permanent residency in Russia and had to leave every few months as mandated by visa rules.
He moved in for good in 2015 and reportedly had some difficulties getting accustomed to local climate, mastering the language and finding a paying job. .
In between odd gigs working as a web designer or a tractor driver at a local farm, he was trying to secure enough capital to start a worker clothing business.

Synergy: Buffett is doing this deal via Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which means he can find strategic synergies that pure financial bidders can't.
History: Texas regulators have blocked Oncor sales twice before, and would take a particularly dim view of private equity getting involved – given its past (disastrous) involvement with Oncor's parent Energy Future Holdings (f.k.a. TXU, subject of both the largest LBO and largest LBO-backed bankruptcy in history).
Size: Even if private equity overcame each of those aforementioned concerns, it may still have difficulty with financing. Buffett is offering around $9 billion in cash, and few private equity firms can afford equity checks in excess of $2 billion (and even that's a stretch). Obviously private equity would want to use leverage, but Oncor already has a ton of that on its balance sheet (although working with Elliott could help lighten that load a bit).

Real Madrid, in the Champions League final! : kouragoal
Real Madrid was out in the 89th minute and in the 95th minute they qualified for the final where Liverpool awaits
Mahrez put City ahead, but Rodrygo, with two goals in one minute, led and Benzema made it 3-1
Don't try to explain it because, honestly, there is no explanation for Real Madrid and the Champions League. The white team was out of the final in the 89th minute and in the 95th minute, they were in the Champions League final. Another miraculous historical night of Real Madrid at the Bernabéu that Guardiola's Manchester City had to suffer, who surely will not understand very well what happened to Real Madrid. He was better at the Etihad and only won 4-3. It was better at the Bernabéu and lost 3-1 seeing how a final escaped him in two minutes. Real Madrid made the impossible possible again, as it did against PSG and Chelsea and now Liverpool awaits them in the final, repeating the 2018 one in Kyiv.
Real Madrid took to the pitch at the Bernabéu knowing that they had to come back from 4-3 in the first leg. In that spirit, the first few minutes were white, but they turned out to be a mirage because as soon as City had the ball, Ancelotti's men's initial push disappeared completely. Yes, Benzema had the goal from a header, but the Frenchman shot very poorly and the ball went high. That was Real Madrid's swan song in the first quarter of an hour. From there, City took possession of the ball and began to command the duel.
Real Madrid appeared little or not at all for Ederson's goal and when that happened, it was due to a mistake in the English defense. And it is that. as it happened in Manchester, the weakest lines of the two teams were the defensive ones. It was a night for the white defenders every time they tried to get the ball from behind due to the English pressure. The same thing happened to those from City that when Real Madrid pressed, they had a serious problem. The point is that the one who made the fewest mistakes in that ball outing had a lot of winnings. There, City won because their players did not complicate their lives with long balls, it cost Real Madrid something, and thus came two clear chances for Guardiola's men, but Courtois saved the furniture for his team.
The match passed between City's patience with the ball in search of a goal and the Whites' lashes in attack. Both teams had chances, but the break was goalless. Goalless and with Casemiro and Laporte on the pitch. The Brazilian was forgiven up to two yellow cards, while the referee was able to show the red to the Frenchman for slapping Modric at the start of the duel.
Real Madrid had 45 minutes ahead of them to come back against a City that kept the go-ahead goal from the first leg without too many problems and, therefore, was in the final in Paris. With this scenario, the second act began, which began with a very clear chance by Vinicius, who missed a shot that seemed easy. Real Madrid repeated the start of the duel, pressing and turning towards Ederson's goal. City seemed overwhelmed by everything that was happening on the pitch. Despite their attempts, Real Madrid still couldn't find the long-awaited goal and the clock was ticking in favor of a City that knew how to put up with that bad moment and calmed down the pace of the game by having the ball. That yes, without abandoning their defensive problems that every time they appeared, little less than they were synonymous with a dangerous move in favor of Real Madrid.
The minutes were passing in a Bernabéu that continued to trust in a miracle of theirs that could appear, but the truth is that it seemed further and further away, taking into account what was being seen on the pitch. With this panorama, Ancelotti decided to bet on Rodrygo who came out for Kroos. It did not go well for the Italian because Mahrez scored 0-1 in the 73rd minute after a great pass from Bernardo Silva. A goal that gave City a virtual pass to the Champions League final. Virtual because being Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, anything could happen. Ancelotti decided to put in Marco Asensio and Camavinga and remove Modric and Casemiro.
From the white elimination to the extension
The white team had no choice but to appeal to the heroic to come back. But it didn't seem like the night of a Real Madrid that was very touched after Mahrez's goal. City lived quietly and was even able to score again, but Mendy avoided it under the sticks. It seemed that the only thing left was to wait for the final whistle. In those, when everything seemed lost for Real Madrid, Rodrygo appeared to score 1-1 in the 90th minute and that gave Real Madrid a breather that scored 2-1 in the 91st minute. It was Rodrygo again and the madness was unleashed at the Bernabéu with Real Madrid resurrecting once again and looking for the third goal that gave them a pass to the final. The last minutes were crazy with Madrid overturned and City having a chance to score through Foden. In the end, no more goals came and that meant extra time.

An extra time that began with a Ruben Dias penalty on Benzema and the Frenchman did not fail to make the score 3-1 in the 95th minute. Real Madrid had gone from being eliminated in the 89th minute to being in the final in the 95′. Seeing is believing. Now, it was City that had to come from behind for the first time in the entire tie. And that was put with Guardiola putting Sterling on the field. Real Madrid, for its part, took a step back hoping to sentence the counter.

The minutes went by with Real Madrid holding off City's attacks that saw Fernandinho miss one chance, although Courtois's hand was very 'to blame for that mistake. The extra time break was reached with that 3-1. There were 15 minutes left and that was a long time considering how the game was going. To give this semifinal more tension and suspense, Militao was injured and Vallejo came on to finish off Real Madrid with three central defenders and Lucas and Mendy as lanes. City, meanwhile, was still looking for the goal, but without their usual touch football, if not direct, with long passes always looking for Sterling and Foden. The last minutes were heart-stopping at the Bernabéu. City attacked with everything and Real Madrid defended with everything and taking the ball as far as they could from their area. White suffering was rewarded with Real Madrid's pass to the final.

12 fantasias
It is big news in the early music community: The 12 fantasias for viola da gamba solo, written in 1735 by the celebrated baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann, emerged in a German archive, after having been lost for 250 years. This documentary tracks back the history of these pieces and tells the story of their disappearance, but above all shows how contemporary gamba players from different cultures and traditions, East and West, work with the notes: study them and play them. The core of the film consists of conversations of the director, an amateur gamba player himself, with master gambists about their personal exploration of the ancient works. How do they transform the notes into a personal, contemporary work of art? After the arousal about the rediscovery of the fantasia's by the German gambist Thomas Fritzsch, it is exciting to find out how other masters on the instrument, from all over the world, approach the new old music – how will they make these silent notes sound?

'The Advocate', a feature film
A feature film project. It is the true story of the life and death of one of the founding fathers of The Netherlands on the edge of the 16th and 17th century, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. Born as the son of a poor farmer, this ambitious lawyer worked himself up to become the undisputed leader of the country and one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world. His decline was set by the conflicts he had with Prince Maurits, who was his partner in all his successes but also just as ambitious, intelligent and stubborn as himself. The conflict ended in a beheading that nobody wanted. A 16th century gangster tragedy.
Robin wrote a treatment and made the story into a film idea and a script for a feature film. This highly dramatic historic tragedy has a fantastic opportunity to bring a new 'genre' -the 17the century gangster movie – and the political background of this story bears a great urgency in our present world.


Caseinates are manufactured from acid caseine. These are proteins used for their numerous functional properties (emulsification, foaming, stabilising or thickening) and for their nutritional and dietary qualities.
Soda-lime caseinates are made from fresh skimmed milk. The proteins in the curd are made soluble and functional by neutralisation. For this, two alkalis containing sodium and calcium are used prior to drying.

Clinical usefulness of cardio-ankle vascular index, local artery carotid stiffness and global longitudinal strain in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors p. 81
Vitantonio Di Bello, Iacopo Fabiani, Enrico Calogero, Paolo Colonna, Scipione Carerj, Francesco Antonini Canterin, Frank Benedetto, Salvatore La Carrubba, Nicola R Pugliese, Valentina Barletta, Lorenzo Conte
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus: How do they affect the right ventricular functions individually and together? p. 88
Inas Ibrahim Eweda
Context: The right ventricle (RV) is neglected in clinical practice although the RV function is the primary determinant of prognosis and effort tolerance in many groups of patients. Aim: The effects of type two diabetes mellitus and hypertension solitary and together were studied on right ventricular systolic and diastolic function by echo-Doppler and tissue Doppler echocardiography. Settings and Design: A cohort of 300 consecutive patients with echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) diastolic dysfunction as determined by Doppler echocardiography were included in this study. Methods and Material: Patients were divided in four groups, patients who were neither diabetic nor hypertensive, hypertensive patients, diabetic patients and those patients suffering from both hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Parameters of right ventricular systolic and diastolic function were compared. Statistical Analysis Used: Analyses were performed with SPSS version 12.0 statistical package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: There was significant statistical difference between the four groups as regards E wave, E/A ratio and deceleration time measured by Doppler echocardiography. By pulsed wave tissue Doppler, S, E' and E/E' showed significant statistical difference between the four groups. All of these parameters were significantly different between the group suffering from both diseases and the group who had neither of them. Conclusions: The combined effect of both, diabetes mellitus and hypertension on right ventricular function is stronger than the effect of one of them alone.
Early speckle-tracking echocardiography predicts left ventricle remodeling after acute st-segment elevation myocardial infarction p. 93
Donato Mele, Marianna Nardozza, Elisabetta Chiodi
Background: Prediction of the left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients treated with effective myocardial reperfusion is challenging. Methods: Forty-one consecutive patients (36 males, age 59 ± 10 years) with STEMI who underwent effective (TIMI III) primary coronary angioplasty were enrolled. All patients had an echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) study within 72 h from revascularization. Three echocardiographic parameters including LV ejection fraction (EF), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and severe altered longitudinal strain (SAS) area by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and 3 CMR indices including LV global function index (LV-GFI), myocardial salvage index (MSI), and microvascular obstruction (MVO) were calculated. LVR was defined as an increase in CMR LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) >15% after 6 months. Results: Of 41 patients, 10 (24%) had LVR (LV-EDV from 145.1 ± 29.3 to 185.9 ± 49.8 ml, P < 0.001). A significant correlation with LV-EDV variation was found for baseline SAS area (r = 0.81), LV-GFI (r = −0.56), MVO (r = 0.55), EF (r = −0.42), GLS (r = 0.42), not for MSI (r = −0.25). At the multivariable analysis, a significant correlation remained only for the SAS area. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that a baseline SAS area ≥15% predicts LVR with a sensitivity of 80.0% and a specificity of 90.3%. Conclusions: The SAS area evaluated by 2D-STE early in acute STEMI is a valuable predictor of LVR after 6 months. Further investigations are needed to verify its value in predicting patient survival.
ST-elevation myocardial infarction: An unusual presentation of infective endocarditis p. 99
Nirajan Regmi, Samiksha Pandey, Saroj Neupane
Acute coronary syndrome is an uncommon complication in patients with infective endocarditis, either in the acute phase of infection or later in the course. We describe a case of unusual presentation of infective endocarditis as ST-elevation myocardial infarction secondary to coronary embolization from mitral valve endocarditis.
Left ventricular outflow tract thrombus in a child with dilated cardiomyopathy: An atypical location p. 101
Mohammed Baba Abdulkadir, Olayinka Rasheed Ibrahim, Folake Moriliat Afolayan, Olanrewaju Timothy Adedoyin
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may be associated with formation of intracardiac thrombi which may embolize and result in life-threatening complications. We present a 19-month-old female child with DCM who presented with a right hemispheric cerebrovascular accident. Urgent echocardiography revealed poor left ventricular systolic function and a thrombus attached to the interventricular septum along the left ventricular outflow tract. There was resolution of the thrombus following the use of warfarin.
Acquired systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunt or persistent left superior vena cava? A rare right-to-left shunt case-based discussion p. 104
Alexandre Gamet, Pascale Raud-Raynier, Thomas Kerforne, Stéphane Velasco, Luc Christiaens
Cardiac shunts are often described in congenital or pediatric populations, but systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunts in adult patients are reported in literature in isolated case reports. We present the case of a 70-year-old female with a left superior vena cava (SVC) draining into the left atrium by the left superior pulmonary vein, with a complete right-to-left shunt of the superior venous circulation caused by a former catheter thrombosis in the right SVC. Diagnosis was suspected after a contrast echocardiography showing an exclusive perfusion of left heart after intravenous injection and confirmed by helical computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction. After medico-surgical discussion, a first-line conservative treatment with oxygen therapy was chosen, due to the stability of symptoms and high predicted risk of perioperative mortality. The particularities of this case are that we cannot determine if the origin of this shunt is a latent persistent left SVC becoming symptomatic after the SVC obstruction or an abnormal collateral pathway due to the thrombosis and the unusual indirect communication through a pulmonary vein.
Bifurcated great saphenous vein: A report on its therapeutic and diagnostic perspectives p. 107
Naveen Kumar, Ashwini P Aithal, Ravindra S Swamy, Satheesha B Nayak, Mohandas K. G Rao, P Abhinitha
The great saphenous vein (GSV) is the longest superficial vein in the body extending from the medial malleolus to groin skin crease level. The clinical usage of GSV has made its anatomical variations noteworthy. Since many tributaries accompany it, GSV is often mistaken with the variant vein. Duplication and persistence of accessory GSV are the two major clinically significant anatomical variations of the GSV which is frequently misinterpreted as a synonym. In the present case, we report a unique variation of GSV wherein it bifurcated into anterior and posterior divisions of two uneven calibers at knee region, which then reunited at thigh region to form a single vein before its termination into the femoral vein. Locating such variations of bifurcated GSV is a challenging task for both diagnostic and therapeutic tactics, particularly in venography procedures as it might lead to iatrogenic traumatic injury of the vessel.
What ultrasounds, sometimes, cannot see: A case of posterior pericardial cyst p. 110
Matteo Rocco Reccia, Ketty Savino, Paola Fiaschini, Mario De Rosa, Giuseppe Ambrosio
Pericardial cysts (PCs) are very rare, often congenital, mediastinal masses. Usually, they are located in the right cardiophrenic angle and only in 8% of cases in the anterior or posterior mediastinum. Computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging are accurate tools for the diagnosis and characterization of mediastinal masses. However, echocardiography is, in many cases, a good screening technique. If asymptomatic, they do not require surgical excision. The authors describe a case of posterior mediastinum PC; in these cases, echocardiography cannot see the mass and three-dimensional imaging techniques are required. The clinical management of this case is discussed.
Subsequent safe pregnancy with cesarean delivery in a patient with a history of peripartum takotsubo syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock p. 114
Rodolfo Citro, Michele Bellino, Flora Minichino, Davide Di Vece, Donatella Ferraioli, Raffaele Petta
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute and reversible heart failure syndrome, usually occurring in females but rarely in the peripartum period. In women with a history of peripartum TTS, it is unclear how to manage subsequent pregnancies. A 39-year-old female with a history of peripartum TTS complicated by cardiogenic shock became pregnant again. She underwent close cardiological follow-up for monitoring left ventricular systolic function and hemodynamic conditions. Epidural anesthesia was preferred to avoid catecholamine surge during cesarean delivery. After a few days of hospitalization, the patient and the newborn were discharged in good health. In our patient with a history of complicated peripartum TTS, close cardiological follow-up, appropriate management therapy, and anesthesia modality allow us to guide safely a new pregnancy.

Q: Trimming fields when adding documents to Solr I'm using the DataImportHandler from Solr to index certain data from a database. However, the database table scheme uses CHAR-fields, so they have a fixed width and have some trailing spaces.
I'm trying to remove these trailing spaces (trimming them) by using the solr.TrimFilterFactory.
In my Solr schema.xml I'm using the following field type to index the data:
<fieldType name="string" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true">
    <analyzer>
        <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory" />
        <filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" updateOffsets="true" />
    </analyzer>
</fieldType>

So now I'm adding a document like:
<add>
    <doc>
        <field name="test">Test       </field>
    </doc>
</add>

And I'm expecting that the trailing spaces from the test-field are removed, but when I query for: test:Test*, I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
    <lst name="responseHeader">
        <int name="status">0</int>
        <int name="QTime">0</int>
    </lst>
    <result name="response" numFound="1" start="0">
        <doc>
            <str name="test">Test       </str>
        </doc>
    </result>
</response>

So as you can see, the trailing spaces are not removed. I must be doing something wrong or misunderstood the concept of filters. But my expectation was that the query would return:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
    <lst name="responseHeader">
        <int name="status">0</int>
        <int name="QTime">0</int>
    </lst>
    <result name="response" numFound="1" start="0">
        <doc>
            <str name="test">Test</str>
        </doc>
    </result>
</response>

So my question is how I can make sure that when indexing these documents, all trailing spaces get removed.

A: Solr analyzers/filters do not modify the stored value.
Only the indexed value would be modified.
So the TrimFilterFactory does not change the stored value and would return the same value as input.
If using DIH, Check ScriptTransformer to modify the value before it is fed to Solr.

A: With newer versions of solr, you can use the TrimFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
<updateRequestProcessorChain name="skip-empty" default="true">

   <processor class="TrimFieldUpdateProcessorFactory" />
   <processor class="RemoveBlankFieldUpdateProcessorFactory" />

   <processor class="solr.LogUpdateProcessorFactory" />
   <processor class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory" />
</updateRequestProcessorChain>

A: I am elaborating this solution based on Solr 8.4 above and latest version. They made is very easy to implement.
I had same problem that most of my fields had trailing spaces and I have many many fields like that in millions of data docs.
I added below line in SolrConfig.xml
Search for existing below tag and add TrimFieldUpdateProcessorFactory like below. one line only.
<updateRequestProcessorChain .....>
  <processor class="TrimFieldUpdateProcessorFactory" />

</updateRequestProcessorChain>

Hope that make easy.

A British Airways flight bound for Dusseldorf, Germany flew to Edinburgh in Scotland by mistake.
It said the wrong flight paperwork was submitted before take-off from London and air traffic control therefore allowed the flight to take that route.
The passengers realised they were in the wrong country when a "Welcome to Edinburgh" announcement was made.
The plane later flew on to Germany.
The flight was operated by German firm WDL Aviation for BA as part of a leasing deal.
British Airways has launched an investigation and apologised to passengers.
