Misled on lead: The campaign to keep toxic lead in hunting ammo and fishing tackle
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH NEWS - EOH student Sam Totoni authored a two-part feature series to inform the public. "Hunting and fishing have a science denial problem. Special interest groups are misleading hunters and anglers—some of the country's proudest conservationists—into poisoning wildlife. Hunters are also being misled into risking the health of their families and recipients of donated meat. Even small amounts of lead affect nearly every organ ...

Sundermann discusses collaborative paper on artificial intelligence and disease prediction
KDKA RADIO – Alex Sundermann (IDM '14, EPI '22) explains that one in thirty patients gets at least one health care-associated infection – one acquired while in the hospital. "Typical tests see what type of organism it is but that test doesn't tell you, was it transmitted from a patient or from somewhere in the environment? [Genome surveillance is] like fingerprinting for that test – who has that same organism and who is transmitting to who when ...
Meet Kayla Ortiz, Health Justice Scholar
"At my core, I am a health educator. However, I know that we can't address health inequities by simply looking at the individual. We must interrogate the structural and historical causes that disproportionately impact the health of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks," said Kayla Ortiz (BCHS '23).

Cơm rượu ([kəːm ʐɨə̌ˀw] ), также известный как рисовый пудинг — традиционный вьетнамский десерт из Южного Вьетнама, приготовленный из клейкого риса.

Чтобы приготовить рисовый пудинг, клейкий рис варят, смешивают с дрожжами и скатывают в маленькие шарики. Шарики подаются в слегка алкогольной молочно-белой жидкости, которая по сути является формой рисового вина, а также содержит небольшое количество сахара и соли. Блюдо едят ложкой.

В Северном Вьетнаме аналогичный десерт (более густой, без жидкости и не в форме шариков) называется rượu nếp .

В китайской кухне очень похожее блюдо, часто приправленное сладким османтусом, называется jiǔniàng (酒酿) или guìhuā jiǔniàng (桂花酒酿).

Colorado's TABOR Suspension Ends; Revenue Limits Return
By Steve Stanek
Colorado lawmakers must again abide by revenue limits in the state's Taxpayer Bill of Rights constitutional amendment.
After being suspended for five years, the revenue limits in the state's TABOR went back into effect July 1.
Voters passed the TABOR, a constitutional amendment designed to limit government tax revenues and give voters to final word on tax hikes, in 1992. In 2005 voters suspended the limits for five years.
Ironically, state revenues have fallen so far since the suspension went into effect in Fiscal Year 2006 that the new TABOR limits will have no impact on state government or taxpayers, at least for the near future, said Amy Oliver of the Colorado-based Independence Institute, which backs the TABOR limits.
Currently Below 2006 Levels
"The new TABOR baseline limit is the highest level of revenue of the last five years, which was 2006," Oliver said. "We won't reach those 2006 levels for years. When I was on the Long-Term Fiscal Stability Task Force last year, the state economist said we probably won't hit that level until 2013. The fact that TABOR would be in effect is sort of meaningless because revenues are below that top number."
The TABOR requires rebates of tax any receipts that exceed the rates of inflation and population growth. The economic downturn of 2001-2002 caused state revenues to fall, and because of the limits, revenues were not allowed to quickly rise to the pre-recession levels. This gave opponents of limited government an opening to attack TABOR for forcing cuts to government services.
Opponents of the limits put up Referendum C to suspend the revenue growth limits. They were led by a coalition of government workers and certain business interests that stood to make money from more government spending. They argued TABOR was never meant to hold down state government after a recession and found a sympathetic ear among a majority of voters.
Bolstered Economic Performance
Economics Professor Michael New of the University of Alabama has studied the Colorado TABOR and other tax and expenditure limitation proposals and noted, "In the 1990s Colorado led the country in economic growth and tax relief, and the controls of TABOR played a big part. Things went sour because of the 9-11 attacks and a severe drought in Colorado."
New also noted that Colorado imposed a requirement that caused state education spending to rise faster than TABOR revenue limits allowed, regardless of the state's actual revenues.
"Colorado had to spend $500 million more on education while revenue was falling, which stressed the budget. In reality, the same thing would have happened if TABOR had not been there," New said. "Opponents of TABOR blamed the limits. The other team deserves credit for distorting the record so badly.
"On our side, we didn't take advantage of things the way we should have to promote the benefits that Colorado had realized because of TABOR."
TABOR Rally
"It seems like every week in Colorado we hear about a new effort to try to repeal TABOR," said John Stephenson, state government affairs manager at the National Taxpayers Union. NTU helped organize a pro-TABOR rally at the Colorado state capital on July 13 with other state and national taxpayer organizations and state lawmakers.
"People were told they needed to relax the TABOR limits to save everything in the state budget, and look at the recent budget," Stephenson said. "Colorado has raised taxes and expanded taxes into new areas like candy, and revenues are still down. The Referendum C folks were sorely mistaken to think it would be a savior."
Steve Stanek ([email protected]) is a research fellow at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of Budget & Tax News.
The Good TABOR accomplished: (FY1994 –FY 2005)
Enacted by Colorado Voters on November 3, 1992
America's Best and Most Effective Fiscal Limit
Established a Low Limit for Revenue Growth and Mandated Taxpayer Rebates of Surpluses
Resulted in $139 million in tax rebates in FY 1997
A total of $3.2 billion in rebates to Colorado Taxpayers Between 1997 and 2001
Colorado's Income Tax Was Cut From 5 percent to 4.63 percent
Colorado's Sales Tax Was Cut From 3 percent to 2.9 percent
During the 1990s Colorado led the country in both tax relief and economic growth
The Damage Caused by Referendum C: (FY 2006-FY2010)
Referendum C Allowed Colorado to spend rather than rebate surplus revenues (FY06-FY10)
Colorado Taxpayers Missed $3.6 billion in tax rebates between FY 2006 and FY 2010
The TABOR Revenue Limit returns in FY 2011 at a higher level
As such, Coloradans will miss out on additional $1.4 billion in rebates in FY2011and FY2012

We have come to decide that Normandy is not as motorhome friendly as it first seemed (unless that motorhome is based on a Ford Fiesta!). Everywhere we tried to get at, had either, a 2.0m height restriction, or a 3.5 tonne weight restriction, or both.
Did this stop us naaa. On one occasion whilst trying to get to a nice looking spot on the coast in Granville, we drove down a very very steep and winding narrow road (that was also quite busy), only to get to the bottom to find the dreaded 2.0m height restriction. What followed resulted in virtual carnage as I performed a near perfect 38 point turn in the narrow road!
After leaving Deauville, we followed the coast road west through to Cabourg, then cut inland to Granville.
Enroute we decided to visit Pegasus Bridge and Memorial Museum there. As I'm sure you are aware this was the scene of a bloody battle on the day of the D Day landings, which saw British soldiers crash landed in gliders next to the German held bridge. Their brief was to take the bridge without the Germans having time to blow it up, and then hold it until the landings had pushing inland that far. Obviously they succeeded but with very heavy losses.
The Museum is an amazing place, with exhibits both inside and out, including a full size replica glider, heavy weapons, and the original bridge (currently being refurbished). Well worth a visit.
After we left the Museum, we met a large group of ex British soldiers, that had received various wounds whilst serving in Afghanistan, they were on a tour of various D Day sites, and were cycling parts of the trip, very humbling.
Obviously Jac's had to take a photo of Colonel K crossing the Bridge.
We've had a couple of free camps, one in a carpark in Jullouville, and last night in a Swimming Pool Carpark in Les Essarts (Southof Cholet), awwwww the glamour of travelling! To be honest, when we're moving from one place to the next each day, theres little point of staying on a campsite. Anyway, virtually all the campsites in France are closed at the moment as its still pretty cold at night.
We are now down near Limoges, and have decided to stop on a lovely little site (max 6 campers), run by an English couple, Neil and Nicky. We are the only ones here, and its in a beautiful area near the village of Les Salles Lavauguyon, which is in the Perigord Limousine National Park. The idea is to stop at Camping Chez Rambaud for 3 nights giving us time to explore the area on our bikes and do some walking. The cost is approx £12.00 per night for the 2 of us and the Colonel. We just hope the weather improves.
After this, we will be heading down to the Midi-Pyrenees, to see our old friends from Hastingleigh, Jamie and Emma, and their 2 children. We are looking forward to emptying our Truck Cellar with them.
Both the Daf, and Jac's seem to be suffering from the same issue……….. thirst!
Diesel for Colonel K, and Gin and wine for Jac's!
Good Luck you don't know me but im with you all the way have a great time.
Back on the road again…….. but first a quick update.

Q: Notepad++ IP Address highlighting language I need to highlight IP address (IPv4) in Notepad++ while examining server logs. I tried to define a new language with some rules, but without actual success. Does anyone know how to do it?
format is standard, for example:
192.168.0.1 where numbers are from 0-255 separated with dots.
Thanks!

A: Here is the regular expression that only highlights valid IPv4 addresses (taken from the same website mentioned above by Aaron H)
\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)(\.(?1)){3}\b
(notice the single character difference from accepted answer, seems that SO formatting dropped backslash character)

A: Taken from : http://ehc.ac/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331754/thread/90404ea1/?limit=25
So, to highlight ANY VALID IPv4 address ONLY, in the current text, follow the method below:

*

*Open the Search dialog ( CTRL + F )

*Click on the fourth tab, named Mark

*Fill in the regex, below, in the Find what field:
\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)(.(?1)){3}\b

*Check the Bookmark line option

*Check the Purge for each search option

*Check the Wrap around option

*Select the Regular expression search mode

*Click on the Mark All button

^^So i tried it, and it didn't work, and then i spent half an hour trawling the net for a decent reg exp.
Finally i found this which does the reverse of what you are asking, it highlights everything but the ip addressses,  go figure....
use:  \s.*   in the find dialog instead.
Replace everything in the text file after IP Address
Now all you have to do to identify your ip addresses is ignore anything highlighted.
Note this also requires the ip address to be the first thing on a line, so you may have to
Doctor your server logs to match this or tweak the regular expression for your specific needs.

On Thursday I posted a new prayer for the safety of soldiers serving in the IDF. Since then, I've received several requests for a Hebrew version of this prayer. Here it is. As I wrote in the original post, most of it is new, although I've taken the three lines from "Gilad, Home at Last" and a paragraph from "In Times of War." This prayer can also used as part of a three-prayer liturgy. The second is for terrorists to find a new path called "To the Terrorist." The third is for peace, called "For Peace in the Middle East." RJ Blog posted the entire three-part liturgy.
Earlier today I posted another new prayer called "Lone Soldier, Operation Pillar of Defense." It's a prayer for Lone Soldiers and all soldiers of the IDF.
Postscript: Here are links to "To the Terrorist" and "For Peace in the Middle East," as well as a link to more prayers for Israel. I took the photo of the soldiers at the Kotel on Monday.

The first batch of seats are now bolted to the ground at Orlando City Soccer's new stadium.
Orlando City Soccer leaders, the Major League Soccer commissioner and developers helped install the first couple of seats Thursday inside the stadium.
It was a big milestone of the new stadium where the Lions will play their third MLS season next year.
Construction crews said it was difficult to get the purple color right for the 21,000 seats that are being installed. The $155 million project, which is being privately funded, is about 80 percent complete and is expected to be finished by March.
It will be ready for the start of the seasons for Orlando City and the Orlando Pride.
The stadium will have room for about 25,500 when at capacity. There is still some work to do, though, including the installation of the grass playing surface.
The stadium scoreboard is scheduled to be installed next month.

Do national parks need Wi-Fi to stay relevant?
Image: Flickr, Daniel Eynis
By Jessica Plautz 2014-11-03 19:57:41 UTC
If a teenager takes a selfie in a national park and no one sees it, did it really happen?
Yellowstone National Park is known for its beautiful natural landscapes and wildlife, but that may not be enough to carry it — and other parks — through the next century.

Park officials are discussing a $34 million fiber-optic line through Grand Teton National Park into Yellowstone in Wyoming with multinational communications company CenturyLink, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), which filed a public records request for the information. The line would dramatically improve connectivity for mobile devices.
The prospect of wireless service in the park is causing debate between those who see better technology as a sure thing in the future, and those who think some places — like gorgeous valleys — should be off-limits to modern technology.
In 2016, the National Park Service will celebrate its centennial. The parks, with a storied history dating back to President Theodore Roosevelt, want to be relevant for the next generations, and the service has launched a "Go Digital" campaign ahead of the occasion.
The service is encouraging park fans to share their experiences with the hashtag #NationalParks.
But critics think the emphases on connectivity is off base.
"The National Park Service will not find its institutional relevance on the internet," said Jeff Ruch, PEER's executive director. "Our national parks risk their unique role by striving to become just another consumer-driven entertainment provider."
Ruch said increased wireless service in the park will distract from the natural attractions.
James Katz, a professor and director of emerging media studies at Boston University, says the social pressures to expand technology's reach are immense.

Katz had a first-hand dose of those pressures this summer, when he travelled through Yellowstone with his teenage children. They hit all the main attractions: Old Faithful, Yellowstone Falls, roaming herds of wild bison.
Whenever connectivity dropped off, Katz said, the complaints from the teens would begin.
"It was quite fascinating to see a naturally-occurring experiment about what happens when you take away technology from kids," he said. "They wanted to be in touch with their friends and exchange Snapchat photos — not of the beautiful scenery but themselves."
National Park Service spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet says the "Go Digital" campaign will play out differently in each park; some are likely to become more connected than others. But she said that the park service has no intention of looking backward as it enters a second century.
There is no comprehensive survey on the current state of cellular and data service available at the national parks around the country.
"People are dependent on wireless, they're dependent on cellular — a mode of communication and activeness that is different from what the National Park Service has provided previously," Picavet said.
According to PEER, Yellowstone adopted a wireless plan in 2009 that stated "wireless communications in Yellowstone will be allowed in very limited areas to provide for visitor safety and to enhance park operations." Ruch says the discussions with CenturyLink go beyond safety.
A full 94% of leisure travelers take at least one device with them on trips, according to a recent survey by Expedia and Egencia.
Louisiana-based CenturyLink has not submitted a formal application on the Yellowstone proposal, according to park officials and company spokeswoman Michelle Jackson. For the project to make economic sense in such a remote area, Jackson said, the company has asked for most costs to be covered by the Park Service and companies that would benefit from the line, including Verizon, Union Wireless and park concessionaires.
Park officials said they have not agreed to provide any money. Yellowstone technology chief Bret De Young said the proposal offers a chance improve spotty and limited wireless services. He stressed that coverage still would be restricted to five developed areas inside the park.
"They would want you to think we're going to do wall-to-wall coverage so people can watch Netflix," De Young said, referring to the proposal's critics. "It's just about taking the infrastructure we have and making it work."
Ruch, the advocacy group director, said it would be inappropriate for the park to put any money toward a fiber-optic line given its backlog of road maintenance and other basic infrastructure improvements. He said the park should halt discussions with CenturyLink or invite public input into whether it's a good idea.
Yet Ruch also acknowledged that his group is up against a suffusion of technology that shows no signs of abating. "I think if we were to put it to a vote, we're a Luddite minority," he said.

Correction: This article previously stated the hashtag was a part of the logo. The original logo does not include the hashtag, however the parks are promoting the centennial with #NationalParks.

Let me know if this is what you were after.


The glittering, flag-flying Camelot of Christian publishing, with its thick walls and guarded gates, is still an achievable option for authors seeking publication. But the advent of digital publishing and the new ways customers are accessing content has thrown open the castle gates to a variety of new publishing opportunities for authors.
The year 2014 will be remembered as a year when faith hit mainstream movie screens in a big way, thanks to the success of Christian-produced releases such as Son of God, God's Not Dead, Heaven Is for Real, Mom's Night Out and Hollywood offerings such as Noah and Exodus.
Recent news reports tout an economic upturn and growing consumer optimism, but Christian retailers still see customers spending cautiously and motivated by value. This includes, of course, parents and grandparents—the primary buyers of children's products.
The theme of the 2014 International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) in Atlanta may be "Cause to Celebrate," but for stores it's an opportunity to go beyond the sales floor and hone their retailing craft. Taking place June 22-25 at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC), CBA's trade show offers stores the chance to see the latest in upcoming books, trends in décor, entertainment and gift items all in one place. It offers retailers a chance to catch up with old friends and attend some fun film premieres and events, but it also should be seen as a "boot camp" where veteran retailers, suppliers and business experts give store owners and frontliners the chance to learn more about operating a store.
Don Piper, author of the best-seller 90 Minutes in Heaven, sums up the allure of books about heaven in one word: hope.
After a year of big changes for the Roman church, Catholic retailers hope the positive media attention and popularity of the new pope will translate into sales. Pope Francis was inaugurated in March 2013; former popes John Paul II and John XXIII were canonized in April, and media outlets are reporting that lapsed Catholics have begun asking themselves if it is time to return to the church. The changes are galvanizing sales of some Catholic products, but will it drive enough customers to buy at brick-and-mortar stores?
Baker Publishing Group celebrates its 75th anniversary in April 2014, a significant milestone for the family-owned business under its third generation of Baker leadership.
Few binding options were available when Bibles first were produced en masse, but today, readers of God's Word have the luxury of having hundreds of Bibles from which to choose. With technology comes an abundance of options—and fierce competition for Bible publishers to create products that stand out from the crowd. Moreover, the large number of choices can leave the consumer feeling overwhelmed when attempting to make a purchase.
Advances in e-book features have made sampling new Bible translations easier, but for most readers, a print edition of the Scriptures remains a must-have. Yet even with the technology many customers have to explore various products, retailers and publishers alike report that the wide variety of translations and formats continues to overwhelm Bible shoppers.
Of all the programs churches are traditionally known for, Sunday school remains one of the hallmarks. Through the years, formats, delivery methods, topics and the church audience itself has changed, causing curriculum providers to stay on their creative toes.
Looking back on the year that was, 2013 presented the Christian products industry with new and ongoing challenges and opportunities. If you felt the year went by in a flash, take a few moments to ponder with us the substantive issues, key events and top products in the categories of Bibles, books, kids' products, DVDs, gifts and music.
The Christian product industry saw the passing in 2013 of many influential authors, artists and leaders who have had a significant impact on the Christian products industry. From music pioneers to best-selling authors, the impact that they left on the industry is wide and lasting. As believers are urged to remember their leaders, to consider their way of life and imitate their faith (Heb. 13: 7, NIV), we look back on a number of those who have led the way for the church and our industry.
Many Christians are waking up to the reality that church fellowship may need to occur minus the usual rich food. To that end, Christian publishers say health and fitness books are becoming more popular, and the New Year is the best time for Christian retailers to recommend them to their customers.
We support individuals who self-publish by offering a local consignment agreement whereby we give space to local self-published authors. We as a company receive 40% commission. The author is responsible to bring the product to the store and agree and accept our terms and conditions. All products must have an ISBN. They are responsible for any loss of product. If the product is not selling within a 90-day period, it is removed from the shelf and the author is responsible to collect it from us. If it is selling, we then renew the agreement on a rolling 90-day period. We allow self-published authors to come into the stores to do book signings on non-busy times of the year. We currently have 10 authors with consignment product. We do not allow more then 10 at a time, we have to be mindful of the space we are allocating to this service.

When the home loan lender is positive that the buyer has the funds to pay back the financing they will certainly additionally wish to ensure that the home deserves the cash that they are providing.

Plus, a lot of our markets are in transition today great deals of coastal markets are transforming from seller's market to customer's market, and also lots of formerly underestimated, heartland as well as southern towns are experiencing an unmatched change into a vendor's market.

Your real estate agent can supply you with a Relative Market Analysis (CMA) or you could look it up on sites like Trulia.com by browsing the "offered" listings. You understand you're in the right ballpark if the sales prices of similar homes are about the exact same as the listing rate. If they're radically higher, it can suggest that the vendor is concealing a problem. Drastically lower? The seller is inflating his cost.
Make an offer. If the proprietors could not afford their home loan, they may approve a reduced deal that covers their mortgage equilibrium, to avoid a foreclosure. , if your offer is for less than the home loan balance the sale is taken into consideration a short sale..

Home Inspections I am a Licensed Master Assessor, I'm certified in the State of Georgia; Worldwide Qualified and Totally Guaranteed. I could and also will reduce the danger of any type of major or pricey surprises that may take place after you take ownership of your new Georgia house.

If you are acquiring with a spouse or another person then you need to determine what is crucial to the both of you. If you really feel the initial offer readied yet you can work out with it a little bit, then decide how much is too much.

The Bio21 Stage 2B project has been registered with the Green Building Council of Australia for a Green Star – Education Design v1 rating.
What kind of materials have been selected for the new building?
The latest design principles have been adopted that complement the existing buildings on the Western Precinct and minimise potential impact. This includes the selection of high quality materials with low reflective qualities for the facade which includes protective external screens and the roof.
Where will services and plant be located in the new building?
The basement level of the new facility will include plant and infrastructure including the air-conditioning chillers for the new building. Some infrastructure will be located in the roof space which will be incorporated within the main structure of the new building. This will be enclosed and will have attenuated cladding to minimise any noise.
The building site
Will there be excavation undertaken on the site?
Excavation will be undertaken on the site to allow for the proposed basement level in the new building and to align the ground levels that will allow the physical connection between the existing David Penington Building and the new facility. Soil will be excavated using excavation equipment.
Will there be any demolition of existing buildings on the site?
An existing two-storey building (CESAR House) located on the eastern perimeter of the Western Precinct site adjacent to Royal Melbourne Hospital site will be demolished as part of the demolition and excavation stage. This will allow for construction vehicles to also access the site via Flemington Road for the main construction works.
Will cranes be used on the site?
A vehicle mounted mobile crane may be used for short durations during the demolition and excavation stage. A fixed crane on the Western Precinct site will be erected. To reduce potential noise, an electric crane will be used.
What times will works be undertaken on the site?
The University's contractors will be required to abide by City of Melbourne regulations and University of Melbourne requirements which specify the following hours:
City of Melbourne prescribed hours for major building construction sites Monday - Friday: 7am - 7pm Saturday 8am - 3pm
University proposed noisy works Monday - Friday: 8am - 7pm Saturday 8am - 3pm
University proposed trucks entering site over 2 tonnes Monday - Friday: 8am - 7pm Saturday 9am - 3pm
Will the Story Street stairwell remain open?
The Story Street stairwell will only provide access to the Elizabeth Blackburn School of Sciences. There is no access entering into the Western Precinct.

Q: How to use mock objects [C++] without passing them as arguments to functions I'm in the process of integrating a Unit Testing Framework for an existing code base in C++. I've zeroed down on CxxTest, but as it turns out we can use other Mocking Frameworks (like googlemock) in conjunction with CxxTest too.
After reading tutorials on CxxTest (Mocking) and googlemock (the infamous turtle example), I have the general idea that you have to define a mock class (using macros etc), declare an object of the mock class and then pass it to the function you are unit testing. Now, there are many occurences in the existing code base where it isn't possible to do that.
Here's an pseudo example to clarify:
class CCandidateForTest
{
    public:
    bool foo(int a)
    {
        CAnotherClass obj;
        int b = obj.bar(a+2);
        if (a == b) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

(This is over-simplified, there are also exceptions and the primitive types may also be other objects etc.; but you get the general idea) (also, creation of objects is not always direct and may sometimes use a factory)
I want to write a test for the function CCandidateForTest::foo. This method internally creates an object of CAnotherClass, which I need to mock so that CAnotherClass::bar returns different values so that different code paths in foo are traversed in unit testing.
In a nutshell, the problem is that the function being tested internally creates an object of the class that needs to be mocked - hence passing an instance of the mocked object to the function is not possible.
How do I use mocking in such a case? Is there a specific mocking framework that makes this possible?

A: If a class internally creates objects to do its job, then that object isn't a "collaborator" at all. For testing purposes, this is exactly the same situation as if it had a lot of inline code doing the same thing. In other words, you can't mock this object because from the perspective that the test has to assume, it doesn't exist!
(This may be an indicator of your class doing too much, and it can be an argument when weighing whether to refactor the class so that it does have a true collaborator, but it is only one factor - there may be other good reasons to leave the class unchanged and test its behaviour as well as possible without mocking.)

A: Use a factory. Have the candidate class take in the factory in the constructor. Mock the factory for your test. You can use a mock lib for that or simply use separate prod and test impls of an pure abstract factory class.

A: You could use a factory to create instances of CAnotherClass.
class CCandidateForTest
{
    public:
    bool foo(int a)
    {
        std::shared_ptr< CAnotherClassInterface > obj = CAnotherClassFactory::Create();
        int b = obj->bar(a+2);
        if (a == b) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

CAnotherClassFactory can look like :
class CAnotherClassFactory
{
public:
    typedef std::shared_ptr< CAnotherClassInterface > (*fn)();
    static std::shared_ptr< CAnotherClassInterface > Create()
    {
        return createFn();
    }

    static fn createFn;
};

Random thoughts about your approach :

*

*If that is over-simplified, then you need to think how to refactor it.

*there are better unit test frameworks then cxxunit. gtest and cute-test.com

A: I saw that we had function which internal generated/created its own object for manipulating.
From my view, it's not truly testable code. Therefore, if we tried to make unit test for it, it may not reflect true value of TDD here. In addition, it can make your unit test code and mock objects more complex. In balance way, we should have some refactor code before doing any UT then. We can do some way to refactor implementation such as: pass more argument to make it more compliant with testable code, use factory pattern/global function to generate object..

I really thought all those high end audio magazines knew what they were talking about when they dealt with expensive cables and power conditioning. When I read that there are no measurable effects that could account for the claimed audible differences, I made rationalizations about how effects could still hide in subtle ways in the data that hadn't been considered yet. But skeptics making physics arguments, as well as James Randi's challenge, convinced me that my beliefs were wrong and that I had been fooled for a decade by unreliable ideologues.

I am also interested whether any kind of ridicule / poking fun / comedy or calls for self-deprecation played any role?

That's true about how people stopped being religious, but I was hoping to hear more about conspiracy theories or pseudoscience.
I don't think I've ever seen that asked in a forum, or maybe it's just never answered due to embarrassment? Who wants to admit they thought the moon landings were fake.
If you want to learn about the psychology of conspiracy theories and paranoid delusions, I'd recommend reading a Mafia game We have plenty here for you to choose from... and it's pretty much part of the job description to be able to have the most insane theories on a regular basis (or maybe that's just me ) - which are only right 99 times out of 100 - much to the enjoyment of the game mods - who are the only ones who know who's who - who get to read them. Seriously though, you can see the psychology of them in full swing in a game, depending on how into it people get. Bearing in mind that a game lasts several days of real time play, fitted around RL, it's an immersive experience requiring a lot of emotional investment, so when these effects happen, they happen for real, because the game becomes as if it was real.
But if you're more interested in the content of specific ones... like the moon landings... then obviously that wouldn't help. But for the psychology, it's a goldmine

The transcript for 6ix9ine's guilty plea in his federal racketeering case has surfaced on the internet today (Feb. 14).
In the documents, 6ix9ine admitted to three different violent incidents in 2018 including paying someone to try to shoot Chief Keef. He identified his associate Kooda B as the gunman. The rapper also claimed that he ordered the hit so he could earn a better standing among the Nine Trey members.
Elsewhere in the documents, 6ix9ine revealed to judge that he once did suffered depression and post-traumatic stress after his stepfather was murdered. He claimed that he stopped showering and went into a deep sadness. Doctors prescribed him Zoloft and other medications but he never took them. 6ix9ine added that his symptoms went away after his mother used Mexican remedies on him.
6ix9ine faces a minimum of 47 years in prison when he gets sentenced on Jan. 23, 2020. He can cut down on that sentence if cooperates with the government. The trial for his co-defendants in the case is expected to begin on Sept. 4, 2019.

Arusha Imtiaz- Connecting People for Better Learning
Arusha Imtiaz, a multitalented young entrepreneur from Lahore, is one of the brains behind the edtech startup, Edjunction. A 2013 electrical engineering graduate of Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), she started her creative journey a year later (in 2014) by launching the SMAC Factory. SMAC Factory is a company that believes in integrating four SMAC technologies i.e. social, mobile, analytics and cloud to drive the business innovation. Today, the company is successfully operating and is working on two projects, "Edjunction" and "The Crib".
The Magic Inside Her
While other girls would cry over their grades, she always found herself calm and confident.Since her childhood, Arusha has had qualities that set her apart from other girls of her age. Her pragmatic approach towards everyday problems helped her persevere and withstand challenges. As a child, she did not take much interest in studies and aspired to become an architect so she could play with her imagination, molding and making her own structural designs. Today, even though she couldn't fulfil her dream of becoming an architect, she plays with digital designs at her SMAC factory.
Arusha's Eureka Moment
Arusha is fortunate to have a very supportive family. In fact, when Arusha decided to launch SMAC factory she found the perfect cofounders in her two brothers who shared her zeal and passion to work on different technologies and drive business innovation. The siblings conceived the idea of Edjunction on a routine day, as they were picking their nephew from his school. He had paint smeared on his cheeks. When asked about it, the little child could not clearly explain what had happened in class or the activities that he had been involved in. Though that very moment ended up as a source of family laughter, it ignited a spark in their mind. They thought of a a digital solution that could connect classrooms with homes, through which teachers, parents, school administration and students could communicate in real time and share information be it student grades, assignments, attendance, or notifications of events such as school functions and parent-teacher meetings. This concept laid the foundation of Edjunction.
Filling the Void in Our Lives
The increasing impact of technology has redefined the way people interact with each other. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have made everyone so close that we know what our loved ones ate, where they went and whom they were with. On these networks people follow politicians, celebrities and sometimes even people they do not know.
Technology is changing the way people behave and communicate. But unfortunately, this invading technology has not been of much benefit to our system of education.
According to the SMAC factory, "What commonly happens is that the parents do not know what their children are studying and how they are performing until the end of the academic year. The school administration do not keep a track of the teachers and staff's performance and the Government body do not ever find out what's happening in the country's schools." The Edtech startup, Edjunction, is designed to address this issue. The Edjunction solution revolutionizes the fundamental way of communication within a school system. It makes the school campuses more social and collaborative through the virtual connection of student classrooms with principal room, admin office, and the child's home.
image credits: SMAC Factory
Currently, 15 different schools have signed up with Edjunction. Out of these 15 schools, 6 have fully implemented the Edjunction solution and are paying clients to the company. In the rest of the 9 schools, the system is being run in the pilot phase and is expected to be fully functional shortly. The operations at Edjunction are vigorously expanding. Arusha and her team have signed a MOU with the City District Government Schools Lahore to implement it in public.
Ingredients of Success
Arusha's life at LUMS played a major role in bringing her where she is today. At LUMS, she was surrounded by determined people who dreamed big and achieved big. This inspired Arusha to start her entrepreneurial journey. According to Arusha, confidence and belief have been important elements for her success but the most important element in her journey has been teamwork. Her team worked with dedication and commitment for the company's development. Their unity and enthusiasm helped them overcome obstacles and achieve goals.
I acknowledge my team's efforts. Without their support and hard work, we wouldn't have come this far
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger
"The Crib" quickly attracted a huge audience. The office was expected to be fully occupied within a few days of it's launch.Initially, Edjunction faced challenges common to all startups like the lack of mentorship and capital. The team, through hard work, was able to raise seed funding, valuing startup at US$ 2 million in early 2015!Another major problem faced by most startup founders is the unavailability of office space. As the startups are run on a tight budget, it is not possible for each to afford an office of their own. Arusha and team faced the same problem. To counter it, the SMAC factory launched its second project, "The Crib". "The Crib" provides, on reasonable rent, a co-working space for startups and freelancers so they can enjoy on office environment without having to worry about the expenses.
If You Can Dream It, You Can Make It
Arusha is an inspiration to all young girls. She encourages women to step into business and says, "They should explore what they are good at and then pitch their talent. For example, if a woman is good at baking, she can start by selling homemade cakes".According to Arusha, the basic problem that holds back most people is the lack of vision.People do not know how to take the first step, as the "startup" concept is relatively new to our society
Even though Arusha and her team are just a year old, they have a very clear vision of their goals. They know where they are headed and what needs to be done to get there. Upon asked about future plans, Arusha explained that the team would be carrying on the operations at Edjunction and The Crib and try to make it bigger and better. We wish them good luck!
We help Startup Founders by equipping them with skills, resources and connections which help them in scaling their ideas.

Suspect to be Charged for Attempted Smuggling of Pangolin Scales
1 Sep, 2017 in Pangolins in the News by Pangolin Conservation
KOTA KINABALU, Aug 29 ― A company proprietor detained by the Sabah Customs Department for allegedly attempting to smuggle out about 8,000kg of pangolin scales worth about RM100 million via the Sepanggar Port near here on July 29, will be charged in court soon.
Customs director-general Datuk T. Subromaniam said investigations into the case involving the 43-year-old suspect who was picked up on July 29, was almost complete.
"He will be charged under Section 135 of the Customs Act 1967 for attempting to smuggle out a banned item," he told reporters after attending a parade held in conjunction with the retirement of Sabah Customs director Datuk Dr Janathan Kandok today.
On August 11, Janathan announced that the department had seized 8,000kg of pangolin scales which were kept in 226 gunny sacks on July 29, at the Sepanggar Port believed to be for expert to China.
The scales were believed to be from 16,000 pangolins, but it is not known where they originated from.
