The controversial federal Reading First program would be eliminated under a fiscal 2009 spending measure approved unanimously today by a House Appropriations subcommittee.
In explaining the decision to zero out the program, Rep. David R. Obey, D-Wis., the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, cited the results of a preliminary federal evaluation of Reading First, released May 1, which found that the program has had no impact on students' reading comprehension.
Reading First "has been plagued with mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and cronyism, as documented by the inspector general," Rep. Obey said, referring to a series of reports by the U.S. Department of Education's watchdog that suggested conflicts of interest had occurred among officials and contractors who helped implement the program in its early years.
"Moreover, a scientifically rigorous study released by the Department of Education found that the program has no discernible impact on student reading performance," Rep. Obey, who is also the chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee that handles education funding, said in reference to the evaluation by the Institute of Education Sciences, an arm of the department.
The interim report by the IES did not cover overall student reading performance.
Rep. James Walsh of New York, the top Republican on the education spending subcommittee, said that Rep. Obey's description of the findings of the study "doesn't track with my experience" of the Reading First program. Schools around his Syracuse, N.Y., congressional district reported that the program had raised student achievement "very, very quickly," he said.
Previous federal surveys of state and local officials have indicated that the program has led to changes in classroom practices and improved student test scores in many places.
The Reading First program was created as part of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2002. Reading First state grants were funded at about $1 billion a year annually until last December, when lawmakers, citing the allegations of mismanagement, slashed it to $393 million for fiscal 2008.
President Bush's budget request for fiscal 2009, which begins Oct. 1, proposes to restore the funding to $1 billion.
Congress should consider funding professional development and high-quality reading programs that are more "broad-based" than many of the programs financed under Reading First, relying on input from classroom teachers, he said.
"Chairman Obey is playing politics with the lives of millions of children," said Mr. Petrilli, who was an Education Department official during President Bush's first term.
The Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee released few other details today about the fiscal 2009 spending bill that covers education.
A statement from the committee reported that the bill would provide $15.1 billion in Title I grants for low-income children, a $665 million increase over the fiscal 2008 amount. It was unclear, however, whether that number represented only Title I grants for districts, or if it also included the Title I school improvement grants, which are targeted at schools not making adequate yearly progress and were financed at $491 million in fiscal 2008.
And the bill includes a $604 million increase over fiscal 2008 for grants to help states cover the costs of serving students in special education, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. That program received $10.95 billion in fiscal 2008.
The measure would also boost federal after-school programs, which are slated for a $281 million cut under President Bush's budget request. The bill would instead provide a $50 million increase over fiscal 2008.
Separately, the House of Representatives today was expected to take up an emergency fiscal 2008 spending bill to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The nearly $186.9 billion measure includes beefed-up education benefits for veterans who have served since Sept. 11, 2001, at a cost of $62.8 billion over 11 years.


In this post I am going to talk about some steps to make a Basic Static Analysis of a malware sample. Also we will see some techniques used by malware developers in order to try to hide their malicious activities to the anti-virus systems and to the malware analyst's tasks.
We can use tools like Dependency Walker, PEview, PEBrowse Professional, PE Header Summary to achieve our goal but in this post we will use Cuckoo Sandbox.
Ok. Let's go. I have submited the sample to the Cuckoo website. You can see the report here. If someone wants the sample, just let me know... It is called sexe-online.exe.
Remember in this post I going to talk only about the Static Analysis. For this, we will go to this section in the report above.
Now we need to go to the Static Analysis section. Here we can see that this file has three sections: UPX0, UPX1 and .rsc.
We can check that this file has been compressed with UPX. You can see the file has no size in the disk (RAW DATA = 0x00000000) but it has size in memory when it is uncompressed by itself (VIRTUAL ADDRESS = 0X00001000).
Part of the malware's code is packed in order to obfuscate it. It makes difficult to be detected and analyzed.
If we go back to the Static Analysis section, we can see few Imports because the file is packed. The few imports that we can see are related with packed code like LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress which allow a program to access any function in any library on the system.
If the sample is packed, we can not get valuable information, for this we will unpack the file in order to get access to all the imports in order to be able of analyzing its behaviour. We can download here the UPX program to uncompress it.
I usually work with Linux. With the command below you can unpack the file and export it to a new one.
The executable called sexe-online_uncompress.exe has just unpacked. We submit it to Cuckoo again and we will see how we get more details about it.
You can see the report of the unpacked sample here.
.text: This section should be contain the program's code.
.rdata: The .rdata section contains the imports an export information.
.data: This section contains the programs global data.
You can continue reading about this Basic Static Analysis example in the next post which will be published in a few days where we are going to try of figure out what the malware activity is.
Do you know all the Virustotal features?

Educating prospective customers about your insurance products and services can be a challenge.
Many people don't fully understand the importance of insurance to their own financial well-being. And younger consumers may seem beyond your reach, particularly the 60 percent of millennials who believe it's more important to pay for expenses like internet access and cellphones than to buy life insurance. Fortunately, there's an effective way for you to grab the attention of prospects and stay connected with your existing customers.
You have a lot of expertise to share. Content marketing enables you to use your knowledge of the insurance business to engage your leads and customers with high-quality blog posts, e-books, and social media updates. By giving them useful information about topics they're interested in, you'll earn their trust and loyalty. Leads will turn into sales, and existing customers will stay engaged with your business.
Many brands have discovered the rewards of connecting with their customers via blog posts. These fairly short (400 to 650 words) articles provide a perfect format to cover a wide range of relevant insurance topics in easy-to-digest bites.
Updating your blog regularly is an effective way to stay engaged with customers and maintain a dialogue with them. In addition to showcasing your knowledge and credibility, consistent blogging shows prospective clients that you're active, approachable, and available to address their needs. Great posts show customers that you get them — you understand their insurance concerns are and what they worry about.
A targeted, well-written blog post can also be the difference between a prospective customer picking up the phone to call or not. They may be on the fence when they find you through Google, but if they arrive at your site and find a blog post addressing the very issue they need help with — or an answer to a question they were going to ask — there's a far greater chance that they will follow up with a call.
Typically 6 to 12 pages in length, an e-book offers you the opportunity to discuss an important insurance issue in greater depth than a blog post. The most effective e-books offer clear-cut solutions to common problems, accompanied by such visual content as tables, charts, and infographics. They're an excellent way to demonstrate your industry expertise and your accessibility. Although e-books tend to be more serious in tone than blog posts, they must have a compelling narrative to keep readers engaged.
The insurance profession is already social. Client relationships are the foundation of your company's reputation and success. Social media channels are a perfect fit for your business. Powerful, yet inexpensive, they offer an effective way to communicate with prospective and existing customers. By using Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, you can connect with leads and clients, demonstrate your expertise, and subtly promote your services.
Succeeding on social media requires more than creating the right content. Don't be tempted to simply advertise your insurance services. Just as with blog posts, the secret is to be informative, relevant, and engaging. Creating content that your followers want to share with their followers turns your fans and clients into a free publicity machine.
One social media approach that may work for you is to become known as the go-to insurance expert in your area. Reach out to answer insurance-related questions posed on the various platforms. And don't make the mistake of thinking that all of your social media content has to be serious and dry just because you're an insurance professional. Develop a social media voice that incorporates openness and appropriate humor into the sharing of your valuable professional expertise.
It takes time and talent to produce effective content marketing. One solution is to outsource your writing needs to a content marketing firm. Companies like Prose Media have the talent and expertise to get you started. We create high-quality blogs, e-books, and social media updates that will educate and engage current and potential clients, encouraging them to see you as a source of trusted information and a solution provider for their insurance needs.

Waterville (05492)
THE TOWN OF WATERVILLE, VERMONT (05492)
Chartered: November 15, 1824 (Vermont Act of Incorporation)
Area: 10,120 Acres = 15.81 Square Miles [Size Rank: 235*]
Coordinates (Geographic Center): N 44° 42′ W 72°46′
Altitude: 394 feet ASL
Population (US Census, 2010): 700 [Population Rank: 195*]
Population Density (persons per square mile): 44.1 [Density Rank: 97*]
Government: Select Board & Town Meeting
Public Schools: Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union & Wolcott Elementary School
*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Waterville's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants).
ABOUT WATERVILLE, VERMONT " Estimated 2010 Population is – 700:
There are Vermont Towns, then there are small Vermont Towns, then there are smaller Vermont Towns. Waterville is one of the "smaller Vermont Towns! With a population of 697 at the 2000 census, Waterville ranks 97th in Vermont for population density. And yet, it is close to culture, history, and action. Stowe being only 23 miles away, Burlington is 34 miles, and Montreal is less than 100 miles away. Mountains rise to 2,797 feet and 2,620 feet respectively. To the west, Kings Hill is 2,000 Feet and Fletcher Mountain is 2,140 feet.
Waterville is home to five covered bridges, all crossing the Lamoille River: The Village Bridge, The Montgomery Bridge, Jaynes Bridge, The Lumber Mill Bridge, and The Morgan Bridge. This fact is due to the Lamoille River meandering through the valley of the town, making it impossible to travel without a bridge here and there. Waterville was created out of three parcels: Coits Gore, Belvidere Leg and part of Bakersfield. The town contains a little more than 10,000 acres, being essentially the valley through which the North Branch of the Lamoille River flows. Probably the town was given its name because the river was the most important feature, in the same way that Brookline was named in 1794.
OF HISTORIC INTEREST
The legislative records give the reason for the establishment of Waterville as a separate town: "It appears to this assembly that it is inconvenient for the inhabitants of the southeast corner of Bakersfield, and that part of Belvidere called the 'Leg' to attend town meetings and transact town business in their respective towns, and that Coits Gore ought to be incorporated and form a part of a new town…." The inconvenience was the hills and mountains that effectively blocked communication from east to west, as it has been elsewhere in Vermont, be it within a town, a county or the state as a hole. The records of the Governor and Council show that Coits Gore was also called Williamsburgh, part of a grant that had been made to Vermont's second Surveyor General, James Whitelaw, James Savage and William Coit. It was the latter's first name that inspired the Williamsburgh name. Another part of the grant was first known as St. Andrews Gore, and then became Plainfield. James Savage and William Coit were surveyors who worked with General Whitelaw for the state; and their grant was given to them in lieu of back salary, as were grants to Tom Chittenden, Ira Allen, and some of the other founding fathers of the Vermont republic.

The key to getting through this crisis is to stay connected
A letter from Movember's CEO, Michelle Terry
In the last couple of weeks, our daily lives have changed in ways that until recently would have been unimaginable.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health, social and economic crisis of a truly unprecedented scale and everyone is affected in some way.
While physical distancing is now our best hope to slow the spread of the virus and ensure our healthcare systems can cope, this 'new normal' way of living will take some time to get used to.
It will be some time before some of the long-term effects of the current crisis emerge. However, what we do know is the combination of enforced social isolation and economic uncertainty represents a particular threat to male mental health.
Men rely heavily on their work to give them a sense of achievement and self worth but now huge numbers are facing unemployment and/or financial hardship.
In addition, the things men typically rely on to connect with each other – such as watching sports or catching up over a drink, have been temporarily suspended.
A crucial part of Movember's mission is to raise awareness of the crisis in men's mental health and the fact that three out of four people who take their own lives each year are male.
Impacts on emotional wellbeing can be strongly influenced by unemployment, social isolation, financial distress and relationship breakdown. Many of these factors are already here or, are on the horizon, for huge numbers of men.
The key to getting through this crisis lies in strengthening our social connections. That means using technology to stay connected with our loved ones and checking in on anyone who we suspect might be struggling.
Our teams are geared up for working remotely and we're ready to take on the challenge. Over the coming weeks, Movember will be sharing practical tools and advice designed to help us all look after our mental health and provide some guidance on how to support others around us.
This isn't the time for a stiff upper lip, it's a time to rally together and support each other. Let's all take care and look out for each other.
We'll get through this.

I was delighted when Claire and Damien asked me to photograph their wedding at St Mary and All Saints church, Beaconsfield and the beautiful Buckinghamshire Golf Club in Denham, Buckinghamshire. Two lovely new venues on a rather wet day but, as you can see from all the laughter, no spirits were dampened. My day started at their house in Marlow with the girls' preparations. Claire and Damien's daughter, Gabriella was on hand to help with the examination of the jewellery. I was then off to the Saracen's Head in Beaconsfield, just across the road from the church to capture a few shots of Damien and friends stocking up on a bit of Dutch courage before the ceremony. After the service we headed off to the beautiful Buckinghamshire Golf Club in Denham. Although it had been raining all day, Claire and Damien must have been blessed because it relented for a few minutes on their arrival at the venue. So, we were quickly able to make the most of the greenery and scenery and capture a few shots of the new bride and groom before the skies opened again. A great time was had by all at the reception and especially during the speeches at which the Best Man displayed a rather embarrassing mankini. The party well and truly got started after the First Dance and a couple of songs later I left Claire, Damien and friends to enjoy themselves and headed home to start work on their photos.


Michael had open heart surgery at Los Robles Hospital on 6/21/17 to repair an aortic aneurysm and a valve. There were some complications. They also found a hole in his heart that they repaired. The evening of his surgery, he had a stroke which lead to some seizure activity. He was sedated and on a respirator until yesterday.

SDSU Mission Valley: One Year After Breaking Ground
A look at the many construction milestones and what's coming next.
Story Keywords: Athletics, Community, San Diego, Mission Valley, News
Last year on this date, San Diego State University held a groundbreaking event at the Mission Valley stadium site, marking the first step in realizing the long-term vision for SDSU Mission Valley. Today, SDSU is celebrating the many construction milestones achieved since breaking ground. Notably, both SDSU Mission Valley and Aztec Stadium remain on schedule.
One month after breaking ground, in September 2020, SDSU and SDSU Athletics jointly announced an accelerated construction timeline to ensure Aztec Stadium would be ready for fans by fall 2022. Last month's steel-topping out ceremony, which signaled the conclusion of the first phase of construction, reaffirmed that Aztec Stadium is almost halfway to completion and on track to open on Sept. 3, 2022, when the Aztec football team will take on the University of Arizona Wildcats in the season home opener.
The decision to expedite the construction process ultimately benefited the overall development timeline for SDSU Mission Valley, which is set to expand the university's economic impact in the region by $3 billion annually. As of August, the former stadium is entirely decommissioned and demolished, unlocking the development potential of the rest of the site, including the River Park, Innovation District, housing, and retail. Initial site construction is underway, including grading to elevate the development out of the flood plain and initial site infrastructure.
As reflected by the progress made in one year, the much-anticipated mixed-use and transit-oriented SDSU Mission Valley site is expected to transform the university and the greater San Diego region.
The first phases of the Innovation District and residential development will begin once the initial site construction is complete, and the site will be ready to begin vertical construction in late 2022. The River Park is scheduled to be completed in 2023.
Visit the SDSU Mission Valley Facebook, Instagram and Twitter channels for related updates, information, and features. Please also visit the SDSU Mission Valley website, as it is regularly updated. A livestream of Aztec Stadium construction is available via the website.

Q: JPA joinColumn error I am trying to simulate a one-one relationship. When i try to add the nullable = false ,
in the join column attribute, i get an SQLIntegrityContraintViolationException saying that the ID of address is null. I am expecting this because, the auto-generated value that i am using in the id is generated at the commit time. (Am i RIGHT ?) ...
But, when i make a modification in the address constructor, by setting an id there and then trying to persist.. i am getting the same exception. I do not understand why.
However, if i remove the nullable = false, i can exeucte it normally. Please explain where i am going wrong.
Here are my implementations.. Getters and Setters were omitted for simplicity.
  @Entity
    public class CustomerEX implements Serializable {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
        private Long id;
        private String name;
        @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY,cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
        @JoinColumn(name="address_fk")
        private AddressEx address;

  public void setAddress(AddressEx address) {
    this.address = address;
    this.address.setCustomer(this);
 }

        ---
        ----
    }

and

       @Entity
    public class AddressEx implements Serializable {

        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue
        private Long id;
        private String city;
        private String country;
        @OneToOne
        private CustomerEX customer;
        }

and my main function is like ...
public class CustomerTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AddressEx addr = new AddressEx();
        addr.setCity("Bangalore");
        addr.setCountry("India");
        System.out.println(addr.getId()+ " is the id of this object");
        CustomerEX cust = new CustomerEX();
        cust.setName("ravi");

        cust.setAddress(addr);

        EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("PersistenceAppPU");
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

        EntityTransaction etx = em.getTransaction();
        etx.begin();
        em.persist(cust);
        etx.commit();
    }
}

Where am i going wrong ?

A: You should cascade the persist action from customer to address.
You're saving the customer but the address doesn't have an Id yet because it is generated

Business Lessons I learned from a cruise ship.
1. Charge a Premium Price.
· The average cruise costs between $800 (on the low end) and up to $2000. Although some upscale cruise ships charge as much as $50,000 for a long cruise usually about 15-30 days.
2. Treat your customers like Gold.
· Provide customers with plenty of "free" benefits or an "all inclusive experience"
· You can't please everyone but you should offer enough activities or benefits to keep the customer happy.
3. Offer both inexpensive and expensive upgrades.
4. Provide excellent attention to detail.
5. Work within a structured system.
6. You can't do everything or be everywhere.
7. Ask customers to come back.
· Hopefully you offered a quality product or service at a reasonable price and strived your very best to create value and make your customers happy. Doing this will make them want to come back or buy more.

Oh hey, it's Vash. He'd totally be into Tiny Unicorn.
Game theme isn't as important as the story and players. I've played quite a few tabletops (esp rpgs). Some of my highlights include a demon-slaughtering badger, passengers accumulating near-lethal damage because the driver didn't buy seat-belts, the DM flipping a tent (not table), piloting a toy plane to escape evil kittens, and so much more. Never judge a game before trying it.
Careful you dont cut yourself on your edge dude or poison yourself with your toxicity, captain asshat.
Every RPG can be fun, even if the theme isn't something you are used to playing. I am a chaotic good Dungeon Master and I want the players to have fun instead of dying because of Dark Souls difficulty bosses.
Tiny Unicorn sounds so awesome! I'd love to be able to play it irl, mostly cause I love trying out new RPs.


At the end of this letter you will see some of the names of Pasifika people you have condemned to hell along with some of our allies.
We want to let you know that your stance towards our LGBTQI+ people is the antithesis of being Christian.
We are incredibly disappointed in your recent comments and soon after you made them, artist activist Tanu Gago encouraged Pasifika people to have the "ake/ate" to reply to you.
We want you to know that the stakes are high for us in Aotearoa, Australia and in the Pacific.
Our youth suicide rates are the highest in the "developed" world and Pasifika who identify as LGBTQI+ are a significant number of those souls who take their own lives because of the intolerance, rejection and hatred from our own loved ones. While we like to think our Pasifika peoples are some of the most loving of all, you have highlighted that this is often not the case when it comes to LGBTQI+ peoples.
The sad thing is we can't deny that many of our people are entrenched in this unforgiving, (un)Christian conditioning and agree with you. The mistranslation and misuse of Bible scripture is the biggest impediment to Pasifika Rainbow people being able to live our lives without fear, backlash and hatred from those who often matter the most to us.
An unquestioning belief in and holding fast to the Bible is very much a feature of our lives as Pasifika peoples. Our cultures are entrenched in our Christian faiths and this has been central to our modern-day cultures since we were colonised. But our peoples also need to remember that fa'afafine, fa'afatama, fakafefine/ fakaleiti, fakafifine, 'akavaine and sexually diverse cultures are more ancient and authentically ancestral than our Christian religion is.
I believe as do many of the Pacific LGBTQI+ Rainbow community that Jesus Christ is our God and Redeemer. The Jesus Christ that I know and believe in is one of unconditional love, compassion, non-judgement and service to everyone. My Christian faith is crucial to my wellbeing, so too are the legacy and beliefs left by our ancestors.
I know from experience the impact of such hatred. My own aiga/family was faced with either accepting or rejecting a beloved one for being gay. In 1985 our parents led our Mangere East collections of signatures against the Homosexual Law Reform Bill. My parents both gave me a hiding when I refused to sign the petition. I resented them tremendously as they ended up forcing me to sign it and I vowed that no-one would ever take away my freedom of choice, my right of agency and free will ever again.
When they discovered that my brother Harold was 1. Gay and 2. A popular drag Queen (drag name: Bertha the Beast), it caused upheaval for our family throughout that year. Everything they believed to be true and right based on their deep-rooted religion was upended. They had to dig deep and reconcile their lives to maintaining their strong belief in their faith, whilst showing unconditional love for their son. They thankfully chose loving their son and vowed to support him and stand by him rather than rejecting and disowning him as many families did – and still do.
Between the mid-1980s and 1990s many of my brother's close friends died from HIV/Aids. And our parents were with him, sitting alongside him, attending every farewell. The lesson learnt for our aiga, community and our parents was: Be careful, when you're so immersed in religiously misguided homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, you might be raising the biggest drag queen/gay man/fa'afafine in your own home.
Our people have to find the courage, faith and the love as my own parents did, otherwise we will be forever locked in a lose-lose situation.


Laser land levelling, a simple operation to prepare the land before sowing, can reap massive returns such as increasing yields, saving water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Life in rural India evokes an image of a farmer levelling the land with an oxen-drawn scraper. It is one of the most basic and integral farm preparations before sowing. Undulated land does not bode well for water absorption and farm productivity.
But for many farmers animal power is being replaced by machines. A laser land leveller- a machine equipped with a laser guided drag bucket- is much more effective and quicker in ensuring a flat table-top like surface. An even land means irrigation water reaches every part of the field with minimal waste from run-off or water-logging.
While mechanisation is good news to farmers, climate change and climate variability pose unprecedented challenges to agriculture. We need climate-smart agriculture practices and technologies that save on scarce resources like water and energy but increase yields, incomes and reduce environmental footprints. When practised together, a portfolio of climate-smart practices can equip farmers to adapt to changing weather patterns amidst depleting natural resources. For instance, groundwater in north-western India has been declining at alarming rates because of the overuse of electric pumps, largely by subsidised electricity, and inadequate recharge from erratic rainfall. Recent studies predict that there would be at least a 10 percent increase in irrigation water demand with a 1 °C rise in temperature in arid and semi-arid regions of Asia. Irrigation is the biggest user of groundwater in north-western India and unless steps are taken to revert this trend, farmers are looking at a water-scarce future.
A study, Impacts of Laser Land Leveling in Rice-Wheat Systems of the North–western Indo-Gangetic Plains of India, by researchers from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA) and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) looks into the impact of laser land levelling in rice-wheat systems in north India. The study aims to assess if and how laser land levelling helps farm communities by improving farm productivity, saving on water and energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing incomes.
Using household surveys and comparing data from traditional levelling, the study comes up with key research findings that show the benefits behind laser land levelling but also the policy implications of promoting new climate-smart technologies among farmers.
Laser land levelling considerably lowers irrigation time for rice by 47-69 hours per hectare per season and for wheat by 10-12 hours per hecate per season.
It increases yields by an average 8 percent for both crops.
It saves electricity about 755 kWh per hectare per year for rice-wheat systems.
It's cost effective. As demand increases, service providers rent out equipment and farmers collectively share the costs.
A study showed that it reduces greenhouse gas emissions from saving on energy, reducing cultivation time and increasing input efficiency.
Higher yeilds means higher incomes for farmers.
Less greenhouse gas emissions: A related study (Jat et al 2015) reported that use of laser land leveller over traditional land levellers reduces emission of greenhouse gases through decreased water pumping time, decreased cultivation time and better use of fertilizers.
Income: The increased yields and the money saved on water and energy means farmers benefited by an additional USD 143.5 per hectare a year from growing rice and wheat.
Laser land levelling is just one among numerous farming activities that contribute to sustainable agriculture. When used in combination with other resource-saving practices and technologies like solar energy based irrigation, precision nutrient application, direct-seeded rice, zero tillage and proper residue management, the gains can be multiplied for each farmer and the community as a whole.
As a single farm intervention, however, the evidence from the study shows the benefits call for investigating business models that can increase uptake of this technology as help scaling other technologies in different landscapes and socio-economic settings.
Governments need to assess how they can support farming communities take up new technologies that deliver multiple benefits. The aim should also be to ensure that technology uptake is inclusive and does not discriminate against marginalised farmers.

The most important Philadelphia restaurants of the 2010s, year by year
by Craig LaBan, Updated: December 31, 2019
Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Inquirer Staff Photographers
Philadelphia's restaurant scene came into 2010 with a chip on its shoulder. By the end of 2019, we had become one of America's cool-kid destinations for dining, a city with multiple James Beard Award winners, a bevy of rising stars, and a lock on national "best food cities" lists.
Looking back, I see dozens of restaurants that made serious contributions. But which places were the most impactful over the last 10 years? Here's my pick of the all-decade team that helped make this the most exciting era ever in Philadelphia dining.
Philadelphia restaurants in 2019 by the bells, from Alpen Rose to Vernick Fish
The best things Craig LaBan ate in 2019
And the award for Philly's best new restaurant goes to...
by Craig LaBan
Han Dynasty (multiple locations)
Han Chiang's Han Dynasty is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Asian fusion was officially put on the back burner when Han Chiang opened his first branch of Han Dynasty in Old City and began presenting genuine Szechuan food to the masses. His monthly tasting menu events — lip-numbing feasts in the basement — launched thousands bowls of dan-dan noodles as his empire expanded to the suburbs, New York, and his native Taiwan. Over time, some Szechuan experts have questioned whether Han Dynasty's cuisine is "authentic" enough, a conversation that speaks to this decade's food-culture awakening.
Barbuzzo (110 S. 13th St.)
Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran's Barbuzzo is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
The nightlife hub at 13th and Sansom is unimaginable without the contributions of Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran, from Lolita to Jamonera, Bud & Marilyn's and Little Nonna. But Barbuzzo is their most complete restaurant — one that captured the push toward wood-fired Mediterranean flavors, veg-forward grazing, and a more casual style. It also staged the careers of several young stars, including George Sabatino. Sweet plus: Turney's salted caramel budino may well be the dessert of the decade.
Vedge (1221 Locust St.)
Vedge, led by Kate Jacoby and Rich Landau, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Who knew rutabagas could be sexy? Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby did. The couple had been exploring the possibilities of vegan cuisine since Landau opened Horizons Cafe in Willow Grove in 1994. But when they created Vedge in 2011, rehabbing a Frank Furness mansion in Center City, their brilliant cuisine moved to the spotlight, becoming one of the city's best restaurants of any sort and a national leader in the trend now called "plant-based" cooking.
Zahav (237 St. James Pl.)
Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook's Zahav is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Zahav opened in 2008, but it took a couple years before this modern Israeli found its true mission. Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook refined a vision rooted in the old world and the new — and helped define the nascent concept of modern Israeli cuisine with the life-changing hummus, award-winning cookbooks, and a documentary. Aside from multiple Beard kudos (culminating in 2019, when it was named America's best restaurant), it also set the tone for a new restaurant atmosphere, proving that a rock-and-roll vibe and world-class food and service aren't mutually exclusive. With subsequent projects (Dizengoff, Federal Donuts, Abe Fisher, K'Far) and several notable alums, no Philly restaurant was more impactful this decade.
Vernick (2031 Walnut St.)
Vernick Food & Drink, led by chef Greg Vernick, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
This was the decade Philadelphia benefited most from homegrown talents returning to the region from famous restaurants in other cities. No chef embodied this more compellingly than Greg Vernick, a veteran of Jean-Georges in New York and Ken Oringer's orbit in Boston. Few places tackled live-fire cooking or managed to encapsulate the new style of American dining as deftly as Vernick Food & Drink, where the menu is effortlessly diverse and seasonal, and dinner always feels like a special occasion — minus the fuss of white tablecloths. The methodical chef took years before deciding to expand, opening two ambitious winners this year. But the mother ship remains one of the city's all-around best restaurants.
Fork (306 Market St.)
Fork, led by Eli Kulp, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Yes, Ellen Yin's Market Street institution was one of Philly's most influential restaurants of the '90s, aiding Old City's rise during the advent of the modern American bistro. But Fork rocketed to relevance again with the 2012 arrival of chef Eli Kulp, a New York restaurant veteran who brought whole-animal excitement to the kitchen and who championed local producers with inventive polish. He revamped Fork Etc. into High Street on Market, creating an ambitious template for the all-day cafe and jump-starting a citywide embrace of artisan breads, alt-grain pastas, and fermentation. A tragic 2015 Amtrak accident that left Kulp paralyzed was a blow to Fork's momentum. A promising new chef is running the kitchen now. But Kulp's influence is still evident in the Fork/High Street alums making waves of their own, including the teams behind Helm, Musi and Cadence.
South Philly Barbacoa (1140 S. Ninth St.)
South Philly Barbacoa, led by Cristina Martinez and husband Benjamin Miller, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
South Philly's Mexican community is one of the city's biggest stories this decade, extending far beyond the food world. No restaurant captures that more than South Philly Barbacoa, the joyful corner taqueria with limited hours and ethereal lamb tacos. Chef Cristina Martinez and husband Benjamin Miller, who met at Amis, began their extraordinary journey in 2014 with a little food cart that drew early-morning crowds to the corner of Eighth and Watkins. By the time they landed at 9th and Ellsworth in 2018, following multiple moves and name changes, their restaurant had gained international acclaim. Martinez, the subject of a Netflix's Chef's Table episode, is celebrated not only for her exceptional food, but also her advocacy for workers' rights.
Laurel (1617 E. Passyunk Ave.)
Laurel, led by Nick Elmi, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
French food seemed all but dead when Le Bec-Fin finally closed in 2013 after more than four decades. But one of its last great chefs, Nicholas Elmi, proved there was a bright path forward here for French cuisine — or at least its gastronomic spirit — as the Top Chef champ created an intimate tasting atelier built on polished plates at once inventive, refined, and imbued with Pennsylvania ingredients. Whether tasting menu culture survives into the next decade remains to be seen, even in an unstuffy ambience like Laurel's. But with subsequent creations like ITV and Royal Boucherie, Elmi's culinary influence remains as strong as ever.
Tired Hands Fermenteria (35 Cricket Terrace, Ardmore)
Tired Hands Fermentaria is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
There's no underestimating craft beer's cultural impact, not simply as a beverage phenomenon, but for its potential to create a new kind of neighborhood restaurant. Yet no local brewpub kitchen, in my opinion, has matched the sophistication and creativity of its beer — Tired Hands' Fermenteria included. But the opening of this sprawling tasting room proved the power of good beer to draw a devoted crowd. A lot of great breweries are doing good work now (see this year's Brewvitational for proof), but Tired Hands set the bar this decade with innovative beers, from "milkshake" brews to barrel-aged saisons. Fermenteria's expanded footprint also allowed Tired Hands to branch out beyond Ardmore to become a coveted tap handle in the region's bars and restaurants, where a good beer selection now is expected, not the exception.
Hungry Pigeon (743 S. Fourth St.)
Hungry Pigeon, led by Scott Schroeder and baker Pat O'Malley, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
The all-day cafe trend found a free-spirited star in this Queen Village favorite, where the chef-buddy duo behind the project — Scott Schroeder and baker Pat O'Malley — run it like a house party, with updated comforts inspired by seasons, local products, and whatever they feel like cooking. In a city with increasingly great pastries, O'Malley's croissant work set the gold standard. A recent decision to eliminate weekday breakfast and lunch (but not weekend brunch) was a shock, but reflected the challenge of sustaining hands-on quality with the all-day concept.
Saté Kampar (1837 E. Passyunk Ave.)
Sate Kampar, headed by Kuala Lumpur native Angelina Branca, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
Southeast Asian restaurants gained traction this decade beyond the well-established Vietnamese community, and this Malaysian grill house created by Kuala Lumpur native Angelina Branca and her husband, John, led the way. The duo imported coconut charcoal for live-fire grills, Malaysian beans for a kopitiam coffee bar, and family recipes that spared no funk or spice. Branca, who left a career in international consulting for this passion project, has also become a central collaborator in the wider chef community.
Palizzi Social Club (1408 S. 12th St.)
Palizzi Social Club, owned by chef Joey Baldino, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
The Vetri family tree, which includes Michael Solomonov, Dionicio Jimenez, and Jeff Michaud, launched another influential star in Joey Baldino, whose Sicilian-inspired Zeppoli easily became one of South Jersey's best restaurants (and a training ground for chefs like Michael Ferreri of Res Ipsa and Dominic Piperno of Hearthside). It was Baldino's return to his native South Philly, however, that spurred his most inspired work. This century-old private Italian club had been owned by his uncle, and Baldino's revival — reinterpreting the great dishes of his Italian American heritage — was an instant sensation. And for good reason: There isn't a better spaghetti and crabs on the planet. Unlike other private clubs, annual membership here is accessible, but limited allotments keep dinner here a coveted invite.
Friday Saturday Sunday (261 S. 21st St.)
Friday Saturday Sunday, led by Hanna and Chad Williams, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
The addresses don't get more classic than this corner townhouse near Rittenhouse Square which, for four decades, was an emissary of Philly's first Restaurant Renaissance. But current owners Hanna and Chad Williams showed that bold changes for a beloved institution aren't just possible, but sometimes necessary, too. They completely rehabbed the bi-level space, inverted the dining room and bar, installed cutting-edge mixology, and under Chad's vision, cut the kitchen free to create modern American cuisine with edge. The result is a restaurant that pays homage to a proud legacy while presenting an exciting future for the next decade.
Royal Sushi (780 S. Second St.)
Royal Sushi, headed by chef-owner Jesse Ito, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
This rarefied sushi bar opened as a distinct operation inside Royal Izakaya in 2017. But it didn't take long for chef-owner Jesse Ito's sublime omakase to catch on as one of the city's hottest reservations, despite the fact its twice-nightly tasting menus ($130 for the full selection) are among of the priciest in town. Ito's talent for hand-crafting wild-caught, seasonal Japanese fish at the intimate 10-seat counter merited the excitement after the long lull in luxury sushi offerings in Philly following Morimoto. By no coincidence, it has been followed by a number of ambitious omakase competitors.
Suraya (1528 Frankford Ave.)
Suraya, led by chef Nick Kennedy, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
The rise of Fishtown — and its graduation from "emerging" to "arrived" — was confirmed by this gorgeous, block-long palace dedicated to Lebanese cuisine. The spectacular space — a gilt-ceilinged cafe segueing to a moody dining room and a back-patio oasis — is courtesy of co-owner Roland Kassis, the Lebanese-born developer responsible for much of Frankford Avenue's resurgence. Suraya's triumph, though, is in its beautiful renditions of Lebanese flavors, inspired by recipes from Kassis' family and his sister's, partner Natalie Richan. They're executed by chef Nick Kennedy, whose menu hits a rare sweet spot between traditional and modern. Suraya was the first of several impressive projects from the Defined Hospitality group, including Condesa and Pizzeria Beddia.
Pizzeria Beddia (1313 N. Lee St.)
Pizzeria Beddia, led by Joe Beddia, is one of Craig LaBan's most impactful restaurants of the 2010s.
This was the decade Philly finally got its pizza act on track. In 2010, Stephen Starr's Pizzeria Stella ignited the local Neapolitan pizza craze, refined by competitors like Nomad, Pizzeria Vetri, and the now-closed Capofitto before the trend toward puffy, wood-fired gourmet pies began to wane. A series of crustier, sturdier styles have emerged. But these pies also came with the baggage of DIY pop-up roots — long lines and an extremely limited supply of pies hand-crafted by pizza prophets. Joe Beddia was the high priest of this genre at his original 40-pie-a-night takeout joint. That he and his Defined Hospitality partners translated that humble beginning into a pizzeria accessible to hundreds a night made it my Best New Restaurant of 2019. Add in the natural wine program and redefined tomato pies and hoagies, and Pizzeria Beddia is about much more than pizza.

J.O. Waldner (2005)
Ten Tips for Future Champions , By Jan-Ove Waldner 1989 & 1997 World Men's Singles Champion, 4-time World Men's Team Champion, 1992 Olympic Men's Singles Champion, 7-time European Top Twelve Men's Singles Champion and many other titles. He is considered by many to be the greatest table tennis champion ever. Excerpt from book "J-O Waldner: When the Feeling Decides," by Jens Fellke, sold by Pioneers (www.ping-pong.com) and American Table Tennis (www.americantabletennis.com)
1. Become a complete player
In order to win big titles, you must master play against all playing styles. Therefore, you must regularly practice and compete against players of different styles. The most important styles to embrace are loopers (maximum topspin), attackers (maximum speed) and choppers (maximum backspin).Another important aspect is play against left-handed players. I would like to remind you that both right and left-handed players spend 85% of their time playing against right-handed players.
To be successful against both right- and left-handed players requires well-developed technique and very good balance. I have had the advantage of practising a lot with left-handed players, e.g. Mikael Appelgren and Ulf Thorsell in my first club Spårvägen. Later on, in the Swedish national team, left-handed players were well represented: Appelgren again, Stellan Bengtsson, Erik Lindh, Ulf Bengtsson, Thomas von Scheele and Peter Nilsson.
2. Acquire point-winning weapons
Table tennis is a tough sport, exercised under a high level of stress. Often you have to play many matches per day. Therefore, it is important to be able to win simple and quick points. I have always been able to rely upon my serves, frequently directly point-winning. I have furthermore worked hard to follow up my serves with a varying forehand stroke. Spend some time analyzing which point-winning weapons you already possess. And remember that new weapons can be developed!
3. Develop a relaxed technique
Table tennis requires a tremendous amount of practice. Always try to play as relaxed as possible. This will increase your chances to play relaxed even in tight situations and at the same time decrease your susceptibility for injuries. Personally, I have managed to avoid lengthy injuries, which is one of the reasons why I have been able to remain at the top for so many years.
4. Play a lot while young
Table tennis requires advanced motor coordination and dexterity. It is therefore important that you learn technically as much as possible before the age of about 13. As long as you still have fun, practise and compete as often as possible. Use your imagination by continuously trying out new strokes, even during matches. Try a new strategy in the middle of a game. Consider a deuce in the deciding game as a challenge to test your most effective serve, or a new type of serve return.
Remember that your career in table tennis is quite long. When feeling bad about a loss, try to think instead about the next tournament and how you can improve.
5. Master three distances
Many players master play from only one or two distances. My recommendation is that you consciously practise play from all three distances after the bounce as indicated below:
Distance 1 - ball on its way up: You must hit the ball before it reaches its highest point after the bounce. You should learn to use short and quick strokes with little backswing.
Distance 2 - ball at its highest point: You should learn to use a relaxed technique when hitting the ball at its highest point after the bounce. A large variety of strokes can be successfully applied at this distance.
Distance 3 – ball on its way down: You hit the ball after it has reached its highest point after the bounce and on its way down. This distance requires a technique where you use a large forearm movement before ball impact.
6. Study good players
Watch as much table tennis as possible. Study video recordings, both of yourself and world class players. In particular, I used to study the Hungarian player Tibor Klampar. His wrist movements and ball hits were of extraordinary quality. By studying a number of Chinese players, I learned to appreciate the importance of developing effective serves.
Try to imitate certain players in order to get a better understanding of advantages and disadvantages of different playing styles, racket grips, movement patterns, etc. In the Swedish national team, we have throughout the years very much enjoyed mimicking different players. Erik Lindh is a master at imitating many of our opponents.
7. Analyze your opponents
Only when you are up against a player the first time can you get an appreciation of, for instance, the quality of his or her forehand loop. Therefore, enlist the help of those of your pals who have played the person in question. Bring forward to discussion all relevant details. Remember that there are many ways to win matches in table tennis. The better prepared you are, the greater are your chances. The margins in this game sometimes appear minuscule, but it is always the best and most professional player who profits from them.
8. Use your head
Mental strength is a vast and important subject and perhaps the most difficult characteristic to develop through training. Personally, I have developed a way to think and act that I believe suits my personality. The starting point must be yourself, in my opinion.
Mental strength is based on experience and acquired knowledge about your sport. Listen to the advice of others who you trust but remember that, in the final analysis, you must rely upon your own judgment. When I was younger, I studied in detail many successful Swedish athletes, including Björn Borg (tennis) and Ingemar Stenmark (alpine skiing). I was impressed by their calmness when competing. Over the years, I have learned to analyze my losses and then forget them as quickly as possible. To the contrary, I do carry around memories of my victories in order to boost my self-confidence.
9. Be respectful
A table tennis match is decided in a short time and it does not take much to lose by underestimating your opponent. It is important to graciously accept losses and to show respect for your opponent. Whether I win or not, my strategy has always been to keep a low profile.
10. Think long-term
To conclude, I would like to emphasize that it takes a long time to become a good table tennis player. There are always new things to learn. Try to think long-term and avoid focusing too much on results when you are young.
If you aspire to compete with the best, you must walk a narrow road. You must realize that only a large amount of training and tough training, will lead to the goal. The principle applies both to training at the table and to physical conditioning. However, don't forget to now and then have some fun and experiment a bit. Occasionally, you will discover something that will be useful in match play.

The aim of this seminar is to present some results about minimal bubble clusters in some sub-Riemannian spaces. This amounts to finding the best configuration of m ∈ N regions in a manifold enclosing given volumes, in order to minimize their total perimeter. In a n-dimensional sub-Riemannian manifold, the perimeter is a non-isotropic (n − 1)-dimensional measure that is defined according to the geometry. After an introduction to the subject, we will present some results concerning the cases m = 1 (isoperimetric problem) and m = 2 (double bubble problem), in a class of sub-Riemannian structures connected to the Heisenberg geometry. This is the framework of an open problem about the shape of isoperimetric sets, known as Pansu's conjecture. The results that will be presented are based on joint works with Roberto Monti (University of Padova) and with Giorgio Stefani (SNS, Pisa).


Cloetta AB will publish the interim report for the period 1 July – 30 September 2018. Following this report Cloetta will organize a conference call with web presentation for media and the financial community.
The third quarter has been challenging, mainly due to the consequences from a fire on a production line in the factory in Turnhout, Belgium. This has created ripple effects such as production capacity constraints in our factory network, which has to some extent been compensated by additional shifts in other factories and outsourced volumes. In total, this has resulted in lower production volumes and higher production costs. In addition, organic sales have continued to decline, mainly due to specific challenges in a few markets.

What to do with Trump International Hotel in DC?
The Old Post Office sits in downtown Washington, DC just a few blocks from the White House. The tower has seen much, notably a 1970's bid to tear it down and replace it with something more "governmental". Since the successful fight for preservation, the Post Office Tower has been home to the headquarters of the National Endowment for the Arts, among other things. In 2011, the General Services Administration (GSA) invited private parties to bid on potential use of the property while preserving the historic character.
Enter Donald J. Trump. The Trump Organization won the contract to renovate the Post Office that includes a 60–100 year lease on the building. The last two years have been spent turning this historical building into a luxury hotel courtesy of a $200 million makeover. Concerning the optimal location of his hotel Mr. Trump said "It's very unusual to have that frontage on such an unusual thoroughfare". Complicating matters, since the signing of the lease Mr. Trump became President-Elect Trump and now has additional frontage on the same thoroughfare.
Mr. Trump's unwillingness to extricate himself from his complex web of business dealings has raised alarms since his election. Countless potential points of conflict for Mr. Trump exist worldwide, but the Washington DC hotel has the makings of being one of the worst. Foreign diplomats are already booking rooms at the hotel citing concerns that it would be "rude to come to his city and say, 'I am staying at your competitor.' " Worse, once Donald Trump becomes President he will appoint the new head of the GSA. Donald Trump's landlord will then serve at his pleasure.
Legal, especially constitutional law, issues are complex and when it comes to ethics even more so. Mr. Trump has addressed his potential conflicts of interest once.
In theory I could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly. There's never been a case like this. I'd assumed that you'd have to set up some type of trust or whatever and you don't.
Mr. Trump is technically right on what the current regulations state. Federal conflict of interest laws do exempt both the President and Congress from having conflicts of interest. The spirit of the law, however, would seem to suggest additional scrutiny is warranted with regards to Trump. No matter how the larger conflicts of interest work out, Trump's DC hotel lease is another matter entirely.
Specific language in the lease is exceedingly clear on exactly what will happen on January 20th. On that day Mr. Trump will be in violation of his lease.
As a elected official, Donald Trump cannot be a part of this lease or receive any benefit from it. Even if hypothetically there was absolutely no contact with their Presidential father, Trump's children taking over the lease would still be in violation. Part of the lease necessitates the annual renegotiation of the rent level by the Trump Organization with the GSA, currently at $3 million. There is no way to avoid Trump's position in the Executive Branch influencing the negotiations since Trump, as president, appoints the head of the GSA. There is no option expect to end this lease. In response Trump could sue, which would end up costing the taxpayers some money regardless of the outcome, but make for a fantastic movie: sitting President sues his own government.
It is the Office of Government Ethics that provides guidance to the executive branch on questions of ethics and conflicts of interest. The GSA plans to coordinate with the president-elect's team to address any issues that may be related to the Old Post Office building.
OGE's mission is one of prevention. OGE does not adjudicate complaints, investigate matters within the jurisdiction of Inspectors General and other authorities, or prosecute ethics violations.
Ultimately the decision on the Post Office lease rests with the GSA. We can hope that such a bastion of ethics as the federal bureaucracy will live up to its mandate, but all evidence suggests that federal agencies will roll over and lick Mr. Trump's boots rather than obeying their own codes of conduct. Mr. Trump may have skirted the law as a private businessman, but the rules are different for holders of public office as critics of the Clinton Foundation well know. "Government business shall be conducted in a manner above reproach . . . to avoid . . . even the appearance of a conflict of interest." Besides, its just business and Mr. Trump should have no problem letting the Post Office go as he previously stated talking in his New York Times interview expressly about this hotel.
OK Mr. Trump, prove it.


Liverpool hit the road this week in order to take on Porto in the second-leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Reds won the first leg 2-0 at Anfield but Jurgen Klopp's men were given quite the scare by Porto. Eventually, the Reds did manage to hold onto their lead but if the first leg performance is anything to go by then surely, Liverpool cannot take things lightly on Wednesday.
The Merseyside outfit are fresh out of a win vs Chelsea in the league meaning a lot of the players who will start the Champions League clash would be playing their second game in just three days and Porto are hoping that fatigue will play a spoiler for Liverpool during the match.
Virgil Van Dijk will start in central defence and given that Klopp has chosen to rotate Matip and Lovren as the Dutchman's partner, it should be Dejan Lovren who will play vs Porto since Joel Matip started during the 2-0 win vs Chelsea.
Jordan Henderson came off with a knock in Sunday's 2-0 win over Chelsea but after the match, the Liverpool boss made it clear that his captain was fine which means the England international will start in midfield alongside Fabinho.
Naby Keita got a starting role vs Chelsea on Sunday and the former Bundesliga man might very well drop back to the bench on Wednesday to make way for Wijnaldum.
The front three of Mane, Salah and Firmino will remain unchanged as Jurgen Klopp has rarely tinkered with his front-three especially during key games.
First XI: Alisson, Trent Alexander Arnold, Van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino.
Read: One moment which blew Jurgen Klopp away during Liverpool's win vs Chelsea.

I really don't understand what I could have done that breaks this... Is it possible that conda and/or pip modules are conflicting? And if so, how can I detect this?
Yes, that is the most likely source of the problem. Try clearing out the pip and conda system-wide installed modules until dnf starts working again.

Firefighters and Police Officers Suspected of Participation in Capitol Riots
Several police and fire departments reported an ongoing investigation into their employees suspected of being involved in the capture of the Capitol last Wednesday, Reuters reported.
According to a statement by Rocky Mount Police Department Va, two of their officers have been suspended pending investigation on suspicion of rioting.
"The Town of Rocky Mount fully supports all lawful expressions of freedom of speech and assembly by its employees but does not condone the unlawful acts that occurred that day," the department said in a statement, saying it had notified federal authorities.
The FBI is actively investigating, looking for everyone who participated in the siege of the Capitoli. At least 120 people were arrested. The total number of victims has reached five people.
The Seattle Police Department also removed two police officers who were allegedly involved in the Capitol seizure.
"The Department fully supports all lawful expressions of First Amendment freedom of speech, but the violent mob and events that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol were unlawful and resulted in the death of another police officer," Diaz said in the statement. "… If any SPD officers were directly involved in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, I will immediately terminate them."
Using anonymous tips, the Florida and New York Fire Departments placed several of their employees on administrative leave on suspicion of participating in an illegal rally outside the Capitol Building.

Created Username Component
```
ng g c username
```
## Start Coding
1. I used two-way binding with a property username;
2. I created a method which checks the property `username` and then unlock the submit button;
3. I created a usernames list (array), so I can add the username into the list;
4. I created a method to push the `username` into the list;
5. And finally, I coded the template and looped in the list using the directive `ngFo`

```
<h2>The Usernames List</h2>
<ul id="usernames-list">
    <li *ngFor="let username of usernamesList">
        {{ username }}
