Home 'Remarkable African jurist, judge and scholar' – Jifa faculty member lauded
'Remarkable African jurist, judge and scholar' – Jifa faculty member lauded
By Carmel Rickard
When the Judicial Institute for Africa (Jifa) schedules training for African judges, one of the most important preparatory issues is who to invite as faculty. Then follows an anxious time of discussion to ensure that the invited jurist will be available and willing to assist. Among those who regularly offers enthusiastic help and expertise is Justice Oagile 'Key' Dingake, originally from Botswana's high court but now enjoying an international judicial career. Justice Dingake's remarkable writing, teaching and judicial life thus far – he is in his mid-50s - has been the centre of a new media profile that we are delighted to share with you.
Originally I met Judge Oagile Key Dingake via his decisions. Trawling through the judgments he had delivered during his time on the bench of Botswana, I began to form an idea of who the person behind these decisions would be.
A wide range of subjects was covered in these judgments but they had many things in common. Like respect for the dignity of the litigants, whatever the issue; clarity of writing; familiarity with the law from other jurisdictions on the issue he was considering (in fact I wondered if he had a dedicated research assistant); concern for the rights of those involved; and intolerance of injustice.
Then I discovered that he was something of a legal scholar in addition to his role as a judge. With an LLM from the University of London and a PhD from the University of Cape Town, his scholarly writing and teaching might well have led you to think he was a fulltime legal academic. In fact, he has a number of part-time professorial posts that link him to universities and other legal institutions round the globe, so you would not have been completely wrong.
Then I met him in person, as a member of Jifa faculty, teaching a course at the University of Cape Town for fellow judges from many parts of Africa.
Although he has often been in the news, particularly when he has delivered landmark judgments, he has now become the subject of a lengthy feature article in the media, sparked by the three most recent of his many books, reviewed by eminent judges and law professors. Writing for a newspaper in Zimbabwe last week, journalist and PhD student Moses Magadza, said he was so inspired by the reviews of these three books, that he felt 'provoked' to pay tribute to Dingake, someone he has known for over 10 years.
'Judicial midwife'
Magadza writes that, internationally, many people see in Judge Dingake 'a judicial icon, a judge with steely determination to make an impact in the world by using law as an instrument of improving people's welfare.' His decisions are cited with approval in many countries, while United Nations' agencies have collated his judgments and use them as teaching materials.
Among the issues about which he feels and has written passionately is accessibility for HIV treatment, treatment for TB, the rights of workers, and the rights of women. In one of his most famous decisions he wrote, 'It seems to me that the time has now arisen for the justices of this court [Botswana] to assume the role of judicial midwife and assist in the birth of the new world struggling to be born. Discrimination against women has no place in our modern-day society.'
'Intellectually-charged'
Magadza quotes another human rights lawyer, the director of the International Commission of Jurists, Africa Division, Arnold Tsunga, as saying that Justice Dingake is 'one of the most intellectually-charged judges in Africa'.
The three books that Magadza refers to are 'Towards a People's Constitution for Botswana', 'In Pursuit of Justice' and 'Judges'.

Wimbledon Fortnight is now upon us and Jolyon Lewes has spoilled us with a tennis-themed short story. David is recruited to be the ball-boy captain. He's a few years older than the other young lads and turns up late on the first day. The other boys watch as he is splayed over the lawn roller and tawsed by the coach. The training for the major tournament goes well, their uniform very brief, their shorts very short. Read it and enjoy.


Coatings are of increasing importance for many industrial products for reasons of decoration as well as stability.
There is a technological challenge caused by various substrates used (e.g. metals, glass, polymers), because different classes of material are applied as coatings, and because many products are reshaped after the coating step.
Crater formation and adhesion problems are therefore among the most common analysis requests.

When a borrower secures financing to buy a home, the lender requires the borrower to submit collateral as security--typically, the home itself. To accomplish this, the borrower and the lender sign a surety bond, which affords the lender the right to take ownership of the house should the borrower default on the loan. There are many different sureties into which both parties can enter, but two of the most prevalent in real estate lending are the deed of trust and the mortgage.
A mortgage is a lending arrangement wherein one party--the borrower--secures financing for the purchase of real property from another party--the lender. The mortgage itself is not the actual loan. Rather, it is the assurity that secures the lender's interests in the arrangement by conveying the property's title to the lender for the length of the loan. Once the borrower repays the loan in full, the lender permanently transfers the title back to the borrower. Should the borrower default on his obligation, however, the lender reserves the right to take full ownership of the property without compensating the borrower for the money already paid on the loan.
A deed of trust is a lending arrangement very similar to a mortgage, but with an additional party. Like a mortgage, a deed of trust includes the borrower (known as a beneficiary) and a lender (called a trustor). However, trust deeds use a third party, called a trustee, who holds the property title in trust for the duration of the loan. The lender, with no actual ownership of the property for assurity, then instills a trust lien against the property. The borrower/beneficiary still makes payments to the lender/trustor directly, but it is the trustee who eventually releases the title to the borrower upon full repayment. Likewise, should the borrower default, the trustee will release the title to the lender/trustor.
Trust deeds and mortgages function almost exactly the same way from the borrower's perspective: The borrower obtains the loan from a lender, incurs interest and repays the loan on a regular schedule. Lenders in both arrangements can foreclose if the borrower defaults, and both deeds of trust and mortgages are available in consumer and business markets.
The type and method the lender/trustor may use to foreclose is the only notable difference between trust deeds and mortgages. For a mortgage loan, the lender follows a foreclosure by judicial sale ("judicial foreclosure"), which requires the lender to file a claim to initiate the process and which the jurisdictional court must oversee. If the borrower fails to resolve the default, the lender typically must turn the property over to the state for auction at a sheriff's sale, in which the lender does not participate.
For a deed of trust, the trustee follows a foreclosure by power of sale (or "non-judicial foreclosure"), which does not require the lender to submit to court supervision. The lender must only notify the borrower of the impending foreclosure via a Notice of Default. Should the borrower fail to resolve the default, the lender can take ownership of the property without first filing a claim, and resell the property at public auction immediately.
Although lenders may prefer a deed of trust for the easier foreclosure process, there is no relevant reason a borrower would choose one over the other. Instead, the applicable lending laws of the state where the property is decides whether the parties will use a deed of trust or a mortgage for the loan. Fourteen states define a requirement for deeds of trust in real property law--aptly named "trust deed" or "lien theory" states. They are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. The remaining 36 states and the District of Columbia--referred to as "mortgage" or "title theory" states--either require lenders and borrowers to use the mortgage model or permit the parties to choose between the two.

Stacy Meuer, Chelsea Myers, Ronald Klein, Barbara Klein; The Prevalence of Retinal Cysts in an Aging Population: the Beaver Dam Eye Study. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):1568.
Purpose: To describe the prevalence of macular and paravascular retinal cysts in a population-based study of older adults.
Methods: There were 1913 participants aged 63 to 102 years at the 20-year Beaver Dam Eye Study examination phase, of which 1547 persons (3075 eyes) had gradable 3D-OCT scans of the macula. The presence of retinal cysts was determined by standardized grading of the macular scans. Height, weight, blood pressure, visual acuity, ocular biometry, and intraocular pressure were measured, and a detailed medical history was obtained. Stereoscopic photos of 3 standard fields (7 fields in people with diabetes) were graded according to a standard protocol for retinal diseases.
Results: At least 1 macular cyst was found in 102 eyes (92 participants) for a prevalence rate of 6%. Of these, 86% had more than 1 cyst. Cysts were found most often in the center circle (81%) and ranged in size from 28 to 498 µm (mean 130 µm). Age (p<0.001), but not gender was associated with the presence of a macular cyst. Adjusting for age and gender, the presence of late stage age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membrane (ERM), macular holes, increasing diabetic retinopathy severity, macular edema, retinal vein occlusions and history or cataract surgery were all associated (p<0.05) with prevalent macular cysts. Visual acuity (p<0.0001) and contrast sensitivity (p<0.0001) decreased in the presence of a greater number and larger-sized macular cysts. Paravascular cysts were more common with a prevalence rate of 20% (360 eyes in 308 people). They were not related to age, gender, visual acuity or any of the ocular diseases associated with macular cysts, except for presence of ERM (p=0.004). Paravascular cysts were associated with a longer axial length (p=0.002) and a more myopic refraction (p=0.0006).
Conclusions: Macular cysts are associated with decreased visual acuity and many age-related retinal diseases. While paravascular cysts do not have an impact on vision, they are related to longer axial length. Further follow-up of this population will allow better understanding of the natural history of cysts and their associations with retinal diseases.


InCommon Assurance 1.1 review guide - InC-Assurance - Internet2 Wiki for your Wiki!
InCommon has published version 1.1 of the Identity Assurance Assessment Framework and Identity Assurance Profiles documents. On this page we present our general approach, describe the major changes in these documents from the 1.0.x versions, and suggest sections that are especially important for review.
Respond to feedback from early-adopter campuses regarding provisions that were unclear or onerous.
Remove elements that were not justified by US government or InCommon community requirements.
Harmonize conflicting and out-of-date terminology.
Continue to meet requirements of the US government ICAM program for Assurance Levels 1 and 2 (Bronze and Silver).
Clarify the purpose and audience of each document.
Clearly indicate normative requirements; remove or appropriately distinguish examples and advice; describe requirements in terms of what must be achieved, as opposed to how to achieve it.
Reduce the number of referenced external documents, especially those that appear normative.
Former section 1.2 (General Approach) removed, material moved to other sections.
This is a new section. It is intended to clearly define key terms and concepts used in Assurance Profiles, in the context of identity management systems typically used by InCommon participants. This section replaces the Glossary (Appendix A) in version 1.0.x. Identity management staff should review this section for consistency with their deployments.
This section has been simplified to provide general information on the types of issues addressed in IAPs, rather than listing specific issues, and to remove apparent embedded requirements.
This section has been modified to clarify the assessment and certification processes, as well as the roles of Audit and IT within those processes. Careful review of the proposed processes and responsibilities by auditors and CISOs is appreciated.
New section, with material moved from Section 2 to clarify the intent of these profiles.
Criteria were removed if there was no justification for their presence based on US government or InCommon community requirements. Criteria were modified to be consistent with the terminology used in the IdM Functional Model (section 2 of the IAAF). "Suggested Evidence of Compliance" elements were removed.
All previous criteria from this section have been removed, leaving only a requirement to be an InCommon Participant in good standing. Many of the removed criteria were called out as burdensome by early adopters.
It is no longer required to record identity proofing document numbers, only their type and issuer, and the requirement for 7.5-year retention of identity proofing records has been removed, making it subject to the Identity Provider Organization's applicable policy and law. The use of "existing relationship" in identity proofing was clarified.
The criteria for "Subject modifiable shared secret" have been removed; they are no longer required by US government specs.
The protection of authentication secrets has been clarified, particularly with respect to the scope of the situations where those secrets must be protected.
Criteria for credential renewal/re-issuance were clarified. Criteria for record retention of credential issuance were added.
The following criteria were removed. They were either duplicative of other criteria or were not justified by US government or InCommon community requirements.
This section was rewritten to describe what must be achieved, as opposed to how to achieve it. Some material was moved to section 4.2.4.
Added criteria for IdMS's that store Subject records that all do not meet the same set of IAP criteria. Removed criteria for confirming attribute status.
All criteria were modified to describe what must be achieved, as opposed to how to achieve it. Physical access log and Continuity of Operations Plan requirements were removed.

Q: Pass JSon Result to Controller Method Good Day! I am a newbie in asp.net mvc and needs to pass a JSonResult data to a method in the controller. In my View, I have this table:

                    Item Code
                    Quantity

                    Unit
                    Item Description
                    Status
                    Action

            @if (TempData["listOrder"] != null)
            {
                foreach (var items in TempData["listOrder"] as List<ebms.ViewModels.OrderItems>)
                {  @Html.HiddenFor(modelItem => items.Id, new { @id = "productId" })

                    @items.PRODUCT_CODE
                    @items.QUANTITY_ORDERED
                        <input id="save" type="button" value="Save"  />

                    @items.MEASUREMENT_NAME
                    @items.ITEM_DESCRIPTION
                    @items.tmpStatus

                        @Html.ActionLink("Remove", "Remove", new { id = items.Id },
                                        new { onclick = "return confirm('Are sure want to remove?');" })

                }

            }

The values of this table came from another table. But one column, which is the Quantity has the value = 0 because it will be inputted in the table itself.
Therefore, I made QUANTITY_ORDERED column editable. It will then pass the value through this:

In my Controller, I have this JSonResult Method Save which is supposed to accept the value of QUANTITY_ORDERED from the view.

        public JsonResult Save(ORDER_DETAILS obj)
        {
            using (ApplicationDbContext db = new ApplicationDbContext())
            {
                ORDER_DETAILS existing = db.ORDER_DETAILS.Find(obj.PRODUCT_ID);
                existing.QUANTITY_ORDERED = obj.QUANTITY_ORDERED;
                db.SaveChanges();
                return Json("Order saved successfully!");
            }
        }

I then need to pass the JsonResult data to a Controller Method for the final saving.
But my problem is that, it doesn't seem to pass the value to Save Method.  And I can't figure out how to pass the JsonResult data to the Controller Method. Can someone help me out on this? What am I missing?

A: You should replace
$.post("/Sales/Save"

with
$.post('@Url.Action("Save", "Sales")'

This will let MVC ensure that the link to the controller action is correct.
Secondly, you're saying you want to pass the data to another method called "AddOrder" rather than saving it directly within your "Save" method.
I don't know what your method signature for this is, so I'll assume it's a static method within a class called "MyOtherClass" and accepts an ORDER_DETAILS instance as a parameter, like this:
public static void AddOrder(ORDER_DETAILS detsails)
{
   //... code here
}

In that case your "Save" method would be very simple, like this:
public JsonResult Save(ORDER_DETAILS obj)
{
   MyOtherClass.AddOrder(obj);
   return Json("Order saved successfully!");
}

So if the exact method details are different you'd need to adapt it to your precise situation.

Йоанис Папарескас или Варварескос (, Βαρβαρέσκος) е гръцки революционер, участник в Негушкото въстание по време на Гръцката война за независимост.

Биография
Папарескас е роден в 1779 година в западномакедонския град Костур, тогава в Османската империя. Става секретар на каймакамина Мехмед бей. Влиза във Филики Етерия и привлича много хора от Западна Македония. През февруари 1822 година участва като представител на Костур на срещата на лидерите в Добренския манастир край Бер, на която присъстват Зафиракис Теодосиу от Негуш, Георгиос Ньоплиос от Сятища, Панайотис Наум от Воден, войводите Анастасиос Каратасос и Ангел Гацо и други. Там по предложениета на Зафиракис Теодосиу е създаден ръководен комитет на борбата, в който влизат Папарескас, протосингел Григориос, Панайотис Наум и Зафириос Георгиу. Папарескас е натоварен с осигуряване на защитата на прохода при Клисура, за да се предотврати настъплението на османски части от Албания. Самият той с чета костурчани участва в боевете в Каракамен.

След настъплението на османците срещу Негуш, Папарескас заедно с 40 държиловчани и 25 теховчани остава като ариегард, за да осигури изтеглянето на жените и децата в планината и загива в битката пред църквата "Свети Димитър" на 6 април 1822 година.

Friendship will bring you joy, which is very important for your self-realization. Don't be too demanding on yourself, even if it will make you stand out. You are consuming the energy you have been cultivating for a long time. It's time to think about the decisions you made.
Take advantage of today's conversation with your other half. Even on the most controversial issue, today can be handled very calmly. As long as you are not impatient, you can reach any agreement today.
In financial affairs, your vitality is a weapon, and you need to rely on yourself to make it not trouble.
Your colleague will let you get a new chance. Seriously consider this new route and then go on unswervingly.


False outrage is the name of the game when you're a Kansas teacher.
At one point, I was keeping a list of all their grievances, and then I decided I should spend at least a tiny percent of my spare time doing something useful.
They're all angered up today because a Senate committee approved a bill that would disallow the practice of payroll deduction for union dues. Cue the flying monkeys.
The Kansas Legislature must be stopped, because they're trying to make it so union members have to WRITE THEIR OWN CHECKS TO PAY MEMBERSHIP DUES.
As a matter of principal, I pretty much hate all payroll deductions. It makes us all a little lazy about how our money is spent, who spends it, what it does for us.
If the federal government goofed and went one full month without taking Social Security, Medicare, Income taxes etc., from everyone's paychecks, I am convinced the screaming to eliminate or reduce those programs would be intense. People don't realize how much money is absconded from their paychecks, and because they never miss what they're paying into the programs, they pay little attention how the money is used.
Let's just call disallowing a payroll deduction a TEACHING MOMENT.
I thought teachers loved teachable moments. Well, now you may get one. How awesome.
The way the squawkers are billing the change is so laughable. The naysayers argue that the legislation is stripping "Kansas public employees of the right to control their own paychecks..." Um no. You can still send a check to the union. The legislation won't stop you. Send double if you want.
These dumb-dumbs screaming their bloody heads off are TEACHING your children. The message they're sending: We can't handle our own finances. We can't handle the responsibility of joining an organization and paying our dues without our employer (the state/slave master) doing it for us.
Healthy message, teachers unions. Super reasonable.
I've just downloaded iStripper, so I can have the sexiest virtual strippers on my desktop.

The Massacres of Sabra and Shatila were revenge killings of up to several thousand Palestinian refugees by Lebanese Christian militiamen. The massacres were revenge for the assassination of the former Lebanese elected President Bashir Gemayel.

The Left Periphery, Wh-in-situ and A-bar Movement in Lubukusu and other Bantu Languages
dc.contributor.author Wasike, Aggrey

dc.description.abstract This study examines the structure of the left periphery, wh-in-situ and A-bar movement in Lubukusu, Kiswahili and Runyoro. It is shown in the study that these languages do not show an argument-adjunct asymmetry. With the exception of 'why', wh-adjuncts can occur in-situ in Islands just like wh-arguments. In addition, Lubukusu in-situ wh-adjuncts, except 'why' give rise to an intervention effect, just like wh-arguments. The unique behavior of 'why' does not reflect an argument-adjunct asymmetry. Rather, it follows from the fact that 'why' is base generated in the left periphery. To the extent that there is no argument-adjunct asymmetry, there is little reason to postulate LF-phrasal movement, contrary to Huang (1982). Secondly, it is shown in the study that 'how' has a syntax that is distinct from that of other wh-phrases. For instance, only 'how' obligatorily agrees with the subject. I argue that this is due to the status of 'how' as a functional head that lacks interpretable phi-features. The fact that 'why' but not 'when' and 'where' also lacks interpretable phi-features suggests that the referential ~ non-referential adjunct distinction should be captured in terms of these features. Thirdly, it is shown that wh-phrases can be in-situ in an object Complex NP, but not in a subject Complex NP. I attribute this restriction to Fiengo and Higginbotham's (1981) specificity condition. Fourthly, the study highlights the differences between relativization of subjects and non-subjects. For instance, while the former triggers wh-agreement, the latter doesn't. These differences are attributed to the location of the feature that drives movement under relativization. In the case of subjects, this feature is located in Fin, but in non-subjects, it is located in Force. The former triggers movement to Spec of FinP, the latter, movement to Spec of ForceP through Spec of PredP. A related issue is the structure of the left periphery. The study shows that the left periphery is more complex than is currently assumed. In addition to the functional projections in Rizzi's 1997 structure, two new projections, PredP and PronP are required. en_US

These countries are so different, on the socioeconomic level: is there room for dialogue and understanding? There is no doubt that it is challenging to work together as a Jesuit Conference, but it is true that we share a lot. First of all, the richer countries can support the poorer ones. But the countries where there is real poverty can also contribute, for instance in the way faith is lived. To the exceptions of East Timor and the Philippines, the Catholic populations of the Asia-Pacific area are very small. But, the Catholic faith is especially strong. The Catholics are profoundly Catholic and they can enrich the spiritual experience of all of us. We, in the Philippines, we will soon celebrate 500 years of Christianity: we can share our experience of involvement in Jesuit education, in pastoral accompaniment, spirituality, social justice, communications and many other ministries. We can help the Jesuit works and teams in countries where there is only a minority of Catholics.
What is expected from the General Congregation in your area of the world?. My fellow Jesuits and our lay colleagues and partners in mission have a lot of expectations in three ways.
They look to what will come out of our gathering to identify what could be changed in our mission and ministries. There is so much to be done; but what directions could come from us, at the GC, to help us all be more faithful to our mission and more effective in our work.
They expect to hear the response of the Society of Jesus to crucial global issues on the universal level, because we are a universal organization. We face religious violence, migration of people, secular culture, poverty, climate change. How can we harness the strength the Society of Jesus has as a global organization; how can we help each other to respond coherently to these global issues?
They look forward to know the new leader, the new Superior General, to hear about his priorities and how he can inspire us. They wish he will continue in the line of Pope Francis and be a source of strong inspiration for us all.
What has touched you the most, personally, since the beginning of the Congregation? The first week here has been a spiritual experience for me. It is difficult to unite close to 250 Jesuits. But I see, I feel and I experience the secret of the Society of Jesus. We might have an influence in many parts of the world through our intellectual life, our involvements in different fields, but what underlies that influence is what I am seeing here. We can be united in trust and faith; we can be led by the Spirit, and led together as a body. This is happening through individual and common prayer.

Q: Is it possible to check sms verification at verification-check-beta two times? I have a scenario:

*

*servers sends sms code to user using verification-check-beta

*users submits sms code

*several independent server instances verify sms several times using sms code and/or VerificationSid
verify sms several times - the first one instance would use smsCode + VerificationSid and other params. Other instances would check if specific VerificationSid was verified.
Then code or verification status should be expired (10 min b default, right)?
Is it do-able?

COUNCIL bosses have spoken out to say the future of bus services in the Valley are secure following fears they could be sold to a private company. Rossendale transport, which provides transport throughout the valley, is currently one of the last council-run bus companies in the UK. Last week councillors discussed any potential assets that may benefit the borough if they were sold in the near future.
AN INTERNATIONAL transport company says it could be interested in buying Rossendale Transport. Last month, the Lancashire Telegraph was told by members of Rossendale Council that Rossendale Transport was not for sale. But Rossendale Council is now understood to be considering selling off the service, which employs 250 people.
A CAMPAIGN has been launched to help safeguard the future of Rossendale's home-grown bus company. Transport bosses insist they are only 'testing the water' as they consider options for Rossendale Transport, based in Haslingden. A campaign spokesman said: "It was said in the meeting that Rossendale Borough Council will be testing the market to find out what Rossendale Transport is worth. "The underlying message is that Rossendale Transport will be most likely sold in the near future which could result in over 200 job losses, depending on who was to purchase the company.
A MOTION has been submitted in Parliament to save Rossendale Transport from the hands of potential corporate buyers.
Janet Anderson, MP for Rossendale, is among the politicians who signed the motion to support the staff at the council-run bus company, who have been fearing for their jobs for over a month.
Mrs Anderson, said: "Rossendale Transport is one of the most successful local authority bus companies in the country.
"Everybody who uses buses in the borough state how good the service is, and the people who work for the company are very dedicated.
Coun Tony Swain, leader of the council, said: "The council's previous position has not changed.
THE council has vowed to keep Rossendale Transport after valuations made by outside bodies failed to make the grade.
Fears that the borough's transport service would be sold to a corporate body have now been allayed.
Bosses at the council concluded that initial valuations made by a number of third parties did not meet the expectations of the local authority.
After council leader Tony Swain announced the company would be retained, a statement committing to improving local services, customer standards, operational efficiencies and local employment within the borough was released.
Council says company not up for sale.
Council then says it might be up for sale after all.
Local 'national' competitor states their interest.
Locals start a campaign to keep the company in council ownership.
Council decide not to sell the company.
A nice easy story with a happy ending. Unless the Telegraph have missed out large chunks of the story it all seems to have been sorted fairly amicably with none of the political vitriol that has been generated down here. The whole thing was sorted out in six months too. Somehow I get the feeling things are not going to be sorted quite so quickly down here!

Drama continues to brew in Detroit as the Tigers trudge toward the end of one of their worst seasons in over a decade.
Victor Martinez and Justin Verlander had an altercation in the dugout following a bench-clearing brawl with the Yankees in late August, and sources within the clubhouse say that's just the most public sign Martinez has become "an entitled player and a clubhouse problem," reports Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press.
The 38-year-old's season ended after he underwent cardiac ablation surgery Sept. 11.
Martinez stopped leading the Tigers as his performance declined over the last two seasons, sources said. The incident that seriously damaged his relationship with his teammates occurred late last season following an Aug. 27 game in which four players, including Martinez, were ejected. When Tigers players entered the clubhouse after the game, Martinez wasn't there, several people with first-hand knowledge of the situation told Fenech.
When Martinez found out his departure had become a popular topic of conversation among the rest of the team, he reportedly confronted another player and accused him of orchestrating a "whisper campaign." Martinez and the player apparently had to be physically separated, and a source said the veteran's handling of the situation didn't go over well with his teammates.
In 107 games this year - his fewest since 2008 - Martinez has hit .255/.324/.372 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs. He's owed $18 million for next season.


This was the logo for their charity that I made as part of a competition they held. This was years ago back when I was in school, studying my O Levels. So while this may not be considered a commission per se, I actually won the contest in the end and got paid £250 for it. Not a bad deal I must say!
Since the fundraiser was all about funding arts, drama, and music, I incorporated all of those themes into this logo. The theatre mask for drama, the clef for music, and the green splatter for art.
I would put a link to the charity with this post, but for the life of me, I can't find their website anymore. Chances are they stopped using this logo for a while now and are using someone else's now. That makes sense. Can't stick to the same logo forever. Especially one that was made by a teen.

In fast jeder Angular Applikation wird man früher oder später Eingaben von Nutzern annehmen und verarbeiten wollen. Reactive Forms haben den Vorteil, dass die Strukturen und alle Validierungen an einem Platz definiert werden und feldübergreifende Validierungen so sehr einfach umsetzbar sind. Für den Nachteil, dass sämtliche Typinformationen über die Formulardaten verloren gehen, soll hier eine Alternative aufgezeigt werden.

Typisierte Forms in Angular

In der aktuellen Implementierung der Reactive Forms sind keine Typinformationen über die Struktur der Daten in einer FormGroup mehr vorhanden. Dies kann gerade bei größeren Formularen problematisch sein.

Die Übersicht leidet und da der Zugriff auf die einzelnen Felder lediglich über Strings erfolgt, sind Änderungen der Struktur nicht refactoring-sicher. Fehler findet man dann erst durch die Ausführung von Unit-Tests oder zur Laufzeit. Die IDE kann auch keine Unterstützung wie Code-Completion anbieten.

Da sich Typescript in diesem Bereich stark weiterentwickelt hat, haben wir als Lösung in einem aktuellen Projekt eine Typisierung auf die Form-Klassen des Angular Projekt aufgesetzt und als Open Source Paket ngx-strongly-typed-forms über npm veröffentlicht.

Besipiel-Anwendung

Als Beispiel für die Integration dient die von Angular verwendete finale Version der reactive Form Demo. Hier handelt es sich um ein keines Beispiel, in dem man zu einem Helden den Namen, Adressen und seine Superpower pflegen kann. Dabei wurde die HeroDetailComponent auf typisierte Formulare mit ngx-strongly-typed-forms umgestellt.

Das Repository mit dem vollständigen Code befindet sich auf Github. Bei stackblitz.com kann man direkt im Browser eine lauffähige Version betrachten und ausprobieren.

Schauen wir uns einmal die anfangs erwähnten Nachteile am Beispiel an:

export class HeroDetailComponent implements OnChanges {
  heroForm: FormGroup;
  /* ... */
  createForm() {
    this.heroForm = this.fb.group({
      name: '',
      secretLairs: this.fb.array([]),
      power: '',
      sidekick: ''
    });
  }
  get secretLairs(): FormArray {
    return this.heroForm.get('secretLairs') as FormArray;
  };
}

Möchte man nun auf die Adressen im Feld secretLairs zugreifen, verwendet man z.B. den Aufruf this.heroForm.get('secretLairs').value. Dies hat zwei große Nachteile.

Zum einen wird für den Zugriff ein Magic String für den Feldnamen verwendet, der womöglich noch an mehreren Stellen in der Applikation auftritt. Will man nun ein Feld umbenennen und übersieht ein Vorkommen des Feldnamens, dann tritt erst zur Laufzeit ein Fehler auf.

Weiterhin ist der Rückgabewert des oberen Ausdrucks any und muss erst zu Address[] gecastet werden. Ändert sich nun die Struktur, in dem man z.B. ein eigenes Interface SecretLair definiert, muss auch der Cast angepasst werden. Dies wird nicht vom Typescript Compiler abgesichert.

Will man ansonsten wissen, welche Felder im heroForm existieren, so muss man die hier gezeigte Definition im Code finden und analysieren. Dabei kann das Form gegebenenfalls an anderen Stellen dynamisch um weitere Felder erweitert worden sein.
Alle diese Nachteile wollen wir durch die typisierten Formulare umgehen.

Typisierte Forms einbauen

Die Integration in ein vorhandenes Projekt ist denkbar einfach. Das Paket selber ist über die Paketverwaltung npm verfügbar und wird mit folgendem Befehl installiert:

npm install ngx-strongly-typed-forms

Soll zusätzlich der typisierte FormBuilder genutzt werden, so muss noch das Modul NgxStronglyTypedFormsModule im AppModule importiert werden:

import { NgxStronglyTypedFormsModule } from 'ngx-strongly-typed-forms';

@NgModule({
  /* ... */
  imports: [ /* ..., */ NgxStronglyTypedFormsModule ], // <-- provides FormBuilder
})
export class AppModule { }

Um das Formular nun typisieren zu können muss ein Interface für das Modell der verwalteten Daten erzeugt werden:

interface HeroFormModel {
  name: string;
  secretLairs: Address[];
  power: string;
  sidekick: string;
}

Für die finale Umstellung  muss der Import der Klassen FormGroup, FormControl und FormArray von @angular/forms auf ngx-strongly-typed-forms geändert werden. Diese sind API-kompatibel zu den Klassen aus dem Angular Projekt. Nach Einfügen der Typen des neu erstellten HeroFormModel erfolgt jeglicher Zugriff nun typisiert:

// import { FormArray, FormBuilder, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';
import { FormArray, FormBuilder, FormGroup } from 'ngx-strongly-typed-forms';

export class HeroDetailComponent implements OnChanges {
  heroForm: FormGroup<HeroFormModel>;
  /* ... */
  createForm() {
    this.heroForm = this.fb.group<HeroFormModel>({
      name: '',
      secretLairs: this.fb.array<Address>([]),
      power: '',
      sidekick: ''
    });
  }
  get secretLairs(): FormArray<Address> {
    return this.heroForm.get('secretLairs') as FormArray<Address>;
  }
}

Wie man sieht ist die Umstellung ohne großen Aufwand machbar. Auch der Zugriff auf den Wert von secretLairs erfolgt noch genau so wie vorher. Der Unterschied ist hier allerdings eine Prüfung durch den Typescript Compiler und auch weitere Unterstützung beim Entwickeln wie z.B. Code Completion.

    this.heroForm.get('secretLairs') as FormArray<Address>;
    // OK

    this.heroForm.get('secret-lairs') as FormArray<Address>; // nicht existentes Feld
    // Compile Error TS2345: Argument of type '"secret-lairs"' is not assignable to parameter of type '["name" | "secretLairs" | "power" | "sidekick", "toString" | "concat" | "indexOf" | "lastIndexOf"...'.

    this.heroForm.get('secretLairs') as FormArray<string>; // Falscher Datentyp
    // Compile Error TS2322: Type 'FormArray<string>' is not assignable to type 'FormArray<Address>'.

Eigene Validator-Funktionen

Die Umsetzung von eigenen Validator-Funktionen ist ebenfalls typisiert möglich.  Diese können über den FormBuilder oder direkt mit den Unterklassen von AbstractControl benutzt werden. Sollte nun ein Validator verwendet werden, dessen Modell nicht mit Validator kompatibel ist, so wird dieses direkt vom Typescript-Compiler mit einer passenden Fehlermeldung abgefangen:

function nameIncludesPowerValidator(control: AbstractControl<HeroFormModel>) {
  const {name, power} = control.value;
  if (name && power && !name.match(new RegExp(power, "i")) {
    return {nameValidation: "Name does not contain Power"};
  }
  return null;
}

/* ... Und eingebunden in das heroForm */
createForm() {
  this.heroForm = this.fb.group<HeroFormModel>({
    name: '',
    secretLairs: this.fb.array<Address>([]),
    power: '',
    sidekick: ''
  }, {validator: nameIncludesPowerValidator });
}

Fazit

Wir verwenden typisierte Forms im aktuellen Projekt schon seit mehreren Monaten und es hat sich als Erleichterung im Entwickleralltag herausgestellt, die auch keinen großer Mehraufwand bedeutet. Das Typensystem von Typescript ist mittlerweile mächtig genug, um die Entwickler zu unterstützen und mit dem Compiler eine zusätzliche Schicht Sicherheit einzuziehen.
Angular selbst bietet einem leider nicht von Hause aus diese Möglichkeiten an und eine Umsetzung ist aktuell auch noch nicht in Sicht (s. Issue #13721 und Pull Request #20040). Bis dies irgendwann unterstützt wird kann auf ngx-strongly-typed-forms zurückgegriffen werden.

FAQ Series: Is High Blood Pressure A Disability?
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, Amendment Act (ADAAA), a person who suffers from hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, can be a qualified individual with a disability entitled to statutory protections in certain circumstances.
Essentially, in order to qualify for these protections, the HBP must significantly interfere with the individual's ability to work. For instance, a driver of a commercial vehicle subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations would be disqualified from becoming a licensed commercial driver if he or she has a "current clinical diagnosis of high blood pressure likely to interfere with his/her ability to operate a commercial motor vehicle safely".


In 1934, with World War II on the horizon, writer Jacob Glatstein (1896-1971) traveled from his home in America to his native Poland to visit his dying mother. One of the foremost Yiddish poets of the day, he used his journey as the basis for two highly autobiographical novellas (translated as The Glatstein Chronicles) in which he intertwines childhood memories with observations of growing anti-Semitism in Europe. Glatstein's accounts "stretch like a tightrope across a chasm," writes preeminent Yiddish scholar Ruth Wisse in the Introduction. In Book One, "Homeward Bound," the narrator, Yash, recounts his voyage to his birthplace in Poland and the array of international travelers he meets along the way. Book Two, "Homecoming at Twilight," resumes after his mother's funeral and ends with Yash's impending return to the United States, a Jew with an American passport who recognizes the ominous history he is traversing. The Glatstein Chronicles is at once insightful reportage of the year after Hitler came to power, reflection by a leading intellectual on contemporary culture and events, and the closest thing we have to a memoir by the boy from Lublin, Poland, who became one of the finest poets of the twentieth century.
Jacob Glatstein arrived in America in 1914 and went on to publish twelve volumes of poetry, seven collections of essays and literary criticism, a wartime novel for teenagers, and the autobiographical novellas translated as The Glatstein Chronicles. Ruth Wisse is the Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard University. The late Norbert Guterman completed the first English translation of Book Two of The Glatstein Chronicles in 1962. Maier Deshell translated Book One. He is former editor of the Jewish Publication Society and translated (with Margaret Birstein) Yehoshua Perle's Everyday Jews: Scenes from a Vanished Life, also for the New Yiddish Library.

NIST 'Pins' Down Imaging System for the Blind

Seeing is believing, unless you're blind or visually impaired. To this group, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) says, "try feeling is believing."
Computer scientists and engineers in NIST's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) have created two tactile graphic displays that bring electronic images to the blind and visually impaired in the same way that Braille makes words readable.
The first graphic display technology, introduced as a prototype in 2002, conveys scanned illustrations, map outlines or other graphical images to the fingertips, and can translate images displayed on Internet Web pages or in electronic books. It uses refreshable tactile graphic display technology, allowing a person to feel a succession of images on a reusable surface.
The machine uses about 3,600 small pins—known as actuator points—that can be raised in any pattern, and then locked into place to hold the pattern for reading. The actuator points then can be withdrawn and reset in a new pattern, allowing the tactile reading to continue through a variety of images.
Each image is sent electronically to the device, which uses software to determine how to create a tactile display that matches the image.
An array of about 100 small, very closely spaced (1/10 of a millimeter apart) actuator points set against a user's fingertip is the key to the second tactile graphic display technology. To "view" a computer graphic with this technology, a blind or visually impaired person moves the device-tipped finger across a surface like a computer mouse to scan an image in computer memory.
The computer sends a signal to the display device and moves the actuators against the skin to "translate" the pattern, replicating the sensation of the finger moving over the pattern being displayed.
With further development, this technology could possibly be used to make fingertip tactile graphics practical for virtual reality systems or give a detailed sense of touch to robotic control (teleoperation) and space suit gloves.
NIST Prototype Tactile Visual Display showing:
Map of the United States
A woman's face
The inspiration for both tactile graphic displays came from a "bed of nails" toy found in a novelty store. Watching the pins in the toy depress under fingers and then return to their original state started the ITL team thinking about how the principle could be applied to electronic signals.
NIST signed a non-exclusive license for commercialization of its two tactile graphic display technologies in the fall of 2007 with ELIA Life Technology Inc. of New York, N.Y. Others interested in licensing these technologies should contact Terry Lynch, NIST Office of Technology Partnerships, terry.lynch [at] nist.gov, (301) 975-2691.

Description: A metaphor of modern man: To resist all temptations modern man is armed by petty bourgeois, necessary mimicry, which will connect him with the crowd, with sufficient callousness, stupidity, which is necessary for swimming in such a world with the optimal amount of hypocrisy in order to save all the pitfalls. An unusual feature in the shadow of his profile was flooded with some kind of evil thing, sharp teeth and an evil look. You could say it's kind of his jacket, which was wrapped. By strong momentum, strong colors and unusual expressive and raw form, this portrait presents the complete sensuality and inventiveness of the artist, who is one of the most important Serbian art brut artist, an outsider in the true sense of the word. Intriguing color orchestration, diagonal rhythm, shaky and scary graphic quality, are the basic characteristics of this work art, and may be the definition of his entire oeuvre.

Q: C++ template parameter with default parameters I have a class that needs to use some sort of map. By default, I want to use std::map, but I also want to give the user the ability to use something different if they want (e.g. std::unordered_map or maybe even a user created one).
So I have code that looks like
#include <map>

template<class Key, template<class, class> class Map = std::map>
class MyClass {
};

int main() {
  MyClass<int> mc;
}

But then, g++ complains
test.cpp:3:61: error: template template argument has different template parameters than its corresponding template template parameter
template<class Key, template<class, class> class Map = std::map>
                                                            ^
test.cpp:8:14: note: while checking a default template argument used here
  MyClass<int> mc;
  ~~~~~~~~~~~^
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/map:781:1: note: too many template parameters in template template argument
template <class _Key, class _Tp, class _Compare = less<_Key>,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.cpp:3:21: note: previous template template parameter is here
template<class Key, template<class, class> class Map = std::map>
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

So it looks like g++ is unhappy that std::map has default arguments.
Is there a way I can allow Map to be any sort of template that can accept at least two template arguments?
I would prefer to stick with C++98 if I can, but I'm open to C++11.

A: The problem is that your template template parameter has only two template parameters, as opposed to map, which has four.
template<class Key, template<class, class, class, class> class Map = std::map>
class MyClass {
};

Or
template<class Key, template<class...> class Map = std::map>
class MyClass {
};

Should compile. However, to avoid such problems, try to take the map type instead, and extract the key type via the corresponding member typedef. E.g.
template <class Map>
class MyClass {

};

A: Your code will compile in C++17. A long-standing defect report of the C++ Core Working Group (CWG 150) was resolved (by P0522R0) in time for C++17.
cppreference.com also discuss this here, and include a helpful example:
template<class T> class A { /* ... */ };
template<class T, class U = T> class B { /* ... */ };
template <class ...Types> class C { /* ... */ };

template<template<class> class P> class X { /* ... */ };
X<A> xa; // OK
X<B> xb; // OK in C++17 after CWG 150
         // Error earlier: not an exact match
X<C> xc; // OK in C++17 after CWG 150
         // Error earlier: not an exact match

Testing with my version of GCC (8.3.0), I find that using the -std=c++17 flag will successfully compile your program; while using earlier versions of C++ (e.g. -std=c++14 or -std=c++11) will fail.


The Association for Computing Machinery recently published proceedings from the 2018 Conference on Computer and Communications Security featuring CSAFE research on digital forensics. CSAFE team member and Iowa State University Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. Yong Guan and his team detail the increasing role smartphones play in investigating cyber and physical crimes.
From 2006 to 2011, the number of crimes involving mobile-phone evidence increased 10% each year. Current tools for analyzing digital evidence on a phone typically focus on short term data stored in the phone's memory. CSAFE is developing new methods to reconstruct smartphone activities over time in permanent storage, currently an under researched area.
Smartphones generate vast amounts of data, making it hard for forensic examiners to determine which files contain relevant evidence. Guan's new tool, EviHunter, automatically identifies files on an Android device that could possibly store digital evidence. EviHunter provides investigators with a more efficient, accurate way to determine which data is relevant to the case.

Charles Frederick Brackett, 89, died Dec. 20, 2021, of COVID-19-induced complications. He was born April 18, 1932, in Boston to Alfreda C. and Raymond T. Brackett. He attended the Boston public schools and graduated from Hyde Park High School in 1949. In 1950 he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he served for four years and was honorably discharged in 1954, having attained the rank of staff sergeant.
He was employed as an electronic technician by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and worked on digital computer development and then transferred to MITRE Corporation as an engineering assistant working on classified radar processing systems. During this same time he attended night school at Northeastern University and obtained an associate degree in electronic engineering, as well as a bachelor's and a master's degree in business. After obtaining his MBA he moved into commerce, working for 20 years with United Fruit Company. His last job was as vice president of IS at Quabaug Corp. in North Brookfield; he retired in 1999.
Charles married Gloria A. Baravella in 1957. Married for almost 56 years before her passing in 2013, they had 13 children, 27 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. He was an exceptional father, not only to his own children but to many who considered him a father, grandfather, friend, mentor, or just one who would listen and pass on important lessons and wisdom from his rich human and spiritual experience. He loved his faith and made it something beautiful and attractive to others. As a young couple, he and his wife were involved in parish groups and in Pre-Cana work throughout the Archdiocese of Boston.
One of eight, he is survived by one brother, William Brackett of Apollo Beach, Florida; and by his children: Cynthia Brackett Mahoney of Crestview, Florida; Kirsten Brackett (Joseph Brideau) of Fitchburg; the Rev. Christopher Brackett, LC, stationed in Rome, Italy; Gregory Brackett (Tessa Lawrence) of Harvard; Br Peter Brackett, MICM, of Still River; Daniel Brackett (Rachel Wilde) of Lunenburg; Maria Brackett of Herndon, Virginia; Martha Brackett (Marc Frushell) of Gardner; Br Anthony Brackett, MICM, of Still River; Matthew Brackett of Sterling; Miriam Brackett (José Adolfo Santos) of Wake Forest, North Carolina; Joseph Brackett, of Leominster; Grace Brackett (Fernando Gallegos) of Sterling; Elise Gedansky of Boston, a foster daughter, as well as his 27 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Visitation was held Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021, at the Immaculate Heart of Mary School gymnasium, 271 Still River Road, in Harvard. A requiem Mass was celebrated Dec. 30, 2021, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Clinton. Burial was at Bellevue Cemetery, Harvard.
