We know first-hand how hard it is to find love, especially when you're a femme lesbian.
As feminine lesbians, it's hard to get recognized, and believed, as being gay. We suffer from Femme Invisibility and the heteronormativity. Gaydar lets us down and everyone assumes that you're straight, or even worse for us, they think we're sisters! My wife and I conquered long distance between Hawaii and the UK, and we have been together for 10 years in October. We know the #struggle of dating and we ended up magically meeting due to MySpace – some may call it fate or destiny.
Whitney moved to join me in the UK in 2012, and we had our Civil Partnership in 2012 and upgraded to marriage in Palm Springs in 2017, on our anniversary. We are also known as Youtuber and blogger duo 'Wegan', and we put our lives online as a couple to fill the gap of lesbian role models and to show that you can be feminine and a lesbian.
Over the years, we would get a lot of questions from our followers asking us how can they meet a femme. We never had an answer, but thanks to the internet we have our own happy ending, so we really wanted to help others find theirs.
Thus, in 2015 we created a dating website Find Femmes, for feminine identified lesbian and bisexual women (and the women who are seeking them). Three years later, we have 1000's of members and continue to grow daily. It's amazing that we've managed to create this online community, something that was very much lacking when we were younger.
Through Find Femmes we aim to provide that community for lesbian and bisexual women; whether users identify as femme themselves and looking for other femmes, or to introduce women of any identity to femmes (butches, don't be shy). We like to see it as a place where women can finally meet, seek and be found.
Find Femmes is currently available in the UK and USA, and following a few successful parties in the UK, we have plans to expand the community feel with more events in both countries! Follow our Instagram @findfemmes to keep up.
Join www.findfemmes.com for free and to celebrate our 3 year anniversary, AfterElllen readers can upgrade with code: WEGAN20.
FIND FEMMES is powered by White Label Dating; a platform that allows brands and individuals to power their own fully branded online dating sites with no set-up costs.

What You Didn't Know About Epilepsy
Şanlıurfa Provincial Health Directorate Balıklıgöl State Hospital Neurology Specialist Dr. Serkan Topçu told about the unknown about Epilepsy (Sara Disease). Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy among the people, manifests itself when cells in one part of the brain send an abnormal electrical signal.
Şanlıurfa Provincial Health Directorate Balıklıgöl State Hospital Neurology Specialist Dr. Stating that epilepsy is a chronic disease, Serkan Topçu said, "Epilepsy disease, which develops in people who have brain damage during birth or later for any reason, is a chronic (long-term) disease that affects approximately 1% of our country. This disease occurs with epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures, which appear suddenly, spread to the whole or a certain part of the brain. Seizure types vary depending on which part of the brain it begins. Loss of consciousness and uncontrolled body movements can be seen in some epileptic seizures, while some are felt with faint symptoms. said.
Neurologist Dr. In his statement, Serkan Topçu said, "Epilepsy disease can actually be a clinical diagnosis, body movements that we witness from the outside that the patient experiences, a change in consciousness. It's a diagnosed disease. There are some patients who do not come to the outpatient clinic, considering it to be an ordinary disease, due to the fact that it is not suitable for the patient and the findings are not typical epilepsy findings, although they are epileptic patients.
There are many patients whose diagnosis is overlooked in this way. In epileptic patients, the whole body may not be convulsing, trembling, fainting, or foaming at the mouth, looking to one side and not changing consciousness. Sometimes, there may be a break in the sentence, forgetting words, and seizures in the style of distraction and immersion while talking while sitting. Sometimes, patients may even startle with a sound and a light, and even jump." used the phrases.
'EEG recording is one of our sine qua non for the diagnosis of epilepsy.' said Dr. Serkan Topçu said, "Some patients may apply to us with the feeling that I am going to vomit. We refer to EEG for diagnostic purposes when there is a slight change in consciousness, accompanied by a change in consciousness, or nothing else compatible with other diseases that may cause it. EEG recording is one of the sine qua non for the diagnosis of epilepsy. We also have other diagnostic methods. Some of our values, which we can support with a blood test, may be a type of mass, cerebral vascular occlusion, cerebral hemorrhage, or a congenital developmental anomaly that may cause brain MRI. We determine the reason for this and arrange a treatment accordingly, and regular follow-up, especially in patients, may be started after the diagnosis and not always go to the same treatment. It is an important disease that we should follow up at certain intervals and take it with regular follow-ups in cooperation with the patient and their relatives in terms of drug dosage, number of drugs or whether the drug is discontinued.

ANTI-RUSSIAN SANCTIONS
Russia will react to possible restrictions on access of its goods to EU market — Lavrov
The top diplomat recalled that the European Commission had prepared a report on significant distortions in the economy of the Russian Federation for the purpose of trade defense investigations

MOSCOW, October 5. /TASS/. Russia will respond to possible additional restrictions on the access of its goods to the EU market, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday. He was speaking at a meeting with the members of the Association of European Businesses (AEB).
Moscow companies tap five new export markets in first half of 2020
Lavrov recalled that the European Commission had prepared a report on significant distortions in the economy of the Russian Federation for the purpose of trade defense investigations.
"The document is openly biased, fraught with additional restrictions on the access of Russian goods to the EU market, which, of course, will not remain unanswered, as you understand," the minister said.
Lavrov also noted that Moscow also has questions as to another initiative by the European Union, which stipulates introduction of carbon border adjustment mechanism not later than January 1, 2023.
"We are still studying what exactly is meant by this initiative, but we do hope that this mechanism will not contradict the norms of the World Trade Organization and will not turn into trade and climate protectionism," he said.
"Even if we take the situation, which is clearly politicized, I think that now is not the time for trade wars," the minister said.
"We would like to avoid the need to introduce retaliatory measures," Lavrov added.

Finally add 3 tsp. of ghee and knead it well , until it forms a soft dough.
Apply oil/ghee on to it and start folding like saree pleats, finally make a spiral shape out of it.
Now add the chopped pudina leaves on the top and press it well and roll them again(don't roll them thinly,let it be thicker in its size).

'I will win by boxing clever': Jack Cullen interview
Oliver McManus
Photo: Karen Priestley
Lancashire middleweight Jack Cullen speaks to Oliver McManus ahead of Saturday's English title showdown with Jack Sellars...
Talking to me over the phone, there was a sense of anticipation in the voice of Jack Cullen. An understandable eagerness, borderline childish excitement, for fight night to arrive.
On Saturday he will have the first title fight of his career when he faces Jack Sellars for the vacant English middleweight title - and he can't wait.
A scheduled contest with Reece Cartwright, the previous champion, was pushed back to the May date before Cartwright's sudden career break from the sport owing to unfortunate personal circumstances. Sellars, a Central Area champion, steps in but the change in opponent has done little to dent Cullen's optimism.
"I've taken it on the chin," he tells Boxing Monthly. "It's out of my control and it's not like Reece has bottled it, because I've still got to go in there and get the win. There's always something that seems to happen with my fights, injuries, last-minute replacements, so I'm used to it by now. If I'm honest with you I don't really think about who I'm fighting, I wanted that English title and Steve delivered it so that's my priority - it was never personal with Reece and it won't be with Jack."
The career trajectory for Cullen, who only turned professional in 2016, hasn't always been immediately obvious. Truth be told, for most of his formative years, the lure of professional boxing never even crossed his mind. Taking up the sport aged 15 to "pass the time with a bit of fun", having previously been involved with racing motorbikes, he became immediately hooked. Seventy-three "apprenticeship" fights would follow before he debuted on 22 October 2016 - an occasion, he says, that more than lived up to expectations.
"That was amazing. I always say I can't top that, in terms of the event, but all of my fights have kept that buzz going. I find that I used to get nervous a lot before fights and I still do but I've been able to channel that into a buzz, as I say, so I can turn it into adrenaline and thrive off it. I enjoy getting in the ring after all of the training, all the sacrifices, I walk into that ring and I showcase my skills in one big release. Nerves are always good thing, I think anyway, otherwise you'll get complacent and cut corners."
Managed by Steve Wood, he has been advanced at a quick pace with 16 fights in 30 months. Influenced, admittedly, by the fact he is a high-profile ticket seller, Cullen has embraced the opportunity to become a full-time professional and commit to maximising his ability. This desire to "put all [his] eggs in one basket" came to the fore last year when he took part in 'Ireland's Last Man Standing', an Ultimate Boxxer-style tournament.
"I had a fight the Saturday before and I stopped the lad [Alistair Warren] in the fourth round. Pretty much straight away afterwards Steve just said "do you want to fight next week in Ireland?". I jumped at the opportunity. I was sparring Chris Blaney [who Jack fought in the semi-final, winning over three rounds] the week before to get him prepared. He, like most of the guys, had been getting ready for it for months - training specifically for those three rounders - whereas I'd spent most of my time preparing for eight rounds with Alistair Warren!"
Wins over Nick Quigley and Chris Blaney would see Cullen advance to the final of the competition, aired live on TG4, where he faced Roy Sheahan. Sheahan had been fast-tracked specifically for this competition with the 34-year-old making his debut merely a month beforehand.
"I had ten minutes to prepare for that fight, they were never letting an English guy win the whole competition, but that was the risk I took. You were getting 25,000 euros for winning the fight and it was an opportunity to fight against some good names. The loss hasn't held me back, it's actually taken the pressure of me a little bit because now I've not got an '0' to lose. I was back in training pretty much straight after and we cracked on from there."
Following on from his whirlwind visit to Ireland, the Tommy Battle trained fighter racked up four further victories in 2018 with Harry Matthews, Emmanuel Moussinga, Alistair Warren and Tomaz Bezvoda coming up short. Matthews was the only opponent to hear the final bell. Three stoppages in the final half of the year saw confidence rise for 'Little Lever's Meat Cleaver' who credits a "belting work-rate" for the dismantling of his counterparts, something he's picked up from the very best.
"I've been sparring Callum Smith and that's been class because you literally can't ask for anyone better. He's the number one at super middleweight so sparring someone that's bigger than me - and this is before the weight cut, obviously - it's telling me a lot about the shots I can take and how well I can hold my power. It's not just the power, though, it's the speed of his feet and, mentally, how fast he is to react and that, rather naturally, is rubbing off."
Rubbing shoulders with such a supreme talent has not only helped in the ring but also when it comes to visualising potential future success. Cullen told me that when he's sparring with Smith, he dreams of fighting in such illustrious venues as the O2 and Madison Square Garden. For now it's the comfortable surroundings of the Bolton Whites Hotel, situated in the Macron Stadium, that he calls 'home'.
"My favourite place to fight, at the moment, is the Macron Stadium, I have been at the M.E.N (now Manchester Arena) but I fought far too late and there was no-one there. I'm not a big fan of Oldham Leisure Centre, I'll be honest with you, a lot of my friends like to drink and watch the fighting at the same time and that's not possible at Oldham so it's a bit unfair.
"I guess I've got used to fighting quite late, to be honest, I'm always on late with Steve but I'd love to be on TV at some point. I've got the support from Little Lever, everyone knows who I am over here, so I can do the tickets - that's not an issue - and Steve is telling me he's got something big coming up, hopefully more exposure."
Under the assumption Liam Williams won't be hanging around for too long at British level, Cullen is keeping an eager eye on the status of that Lonsdale belt. With a desire to push on for bigger things and the full support of Steve Wood behind him, he explained why now was the time to double down.
"I've learned that you're only in this game for so long, I think that's dawned on me, so I need to grab this opportunity whilst I can. People tell me I'm still young but, the way I see it, I'm exactly the right age for these fights. You always learn but those days of development are behind me and it's time to start winning the titles."
This 'second phase' of Cullen's carer all starts on 11 May when, if all goes well, he will crowned English champion. On a run of three straight knockouts, his confidence is as high as it has ever been and the young middleweight is assured he'll be classy enough to see the job through.
"I will win by boxing clever, listening to my corner and being first to the punch. I'm not going out there thinking I'll knock him out but if the shots are flowing and I'm hitting a good rhythm then he's going to get stopped. I know I've got a great work-rate and I'm fairly big for a middleweight so the power behind my shots is tough to take. Then I'm going to pop round my mum's for a nice Sunday roast."

A new version, v1.68, of nbody has just been released. I have not yet released the mac multi-threaded version (OpenMP). I will release this at a later date.
In this release we have added a new way of constraining the width of the stream. Previously, we were using a measure of the velocity dispersion in each histogram bin. This led us to fit our parameters quite well. Unfortunately, we found that this may not be the best method in the long run. I have added a measure of the beta coordinate dispersion which, from initial findings, will be (hopefully) easier to fit our parameters with.
As always, please let me know if there are issues.
Congrats on the new version!
All three of my systems running 1.68 get the following error, some more than others.
My I7 systems get very few but my I5 system gets a ton.

Message 67022 - Posted: 1 Feb 2018, 1:10:13 UTC - in response to Message 67019.
I believe I found the workunit that was from.
Because I added an entirely new calculation, there were some new parameters needed for future flexibility. Therefore, if you were to use the old parameter files on the new binary it would give that error. It seems for some reason, that workunit did exactly that, the binary being used is the nbody v168 but the workunit is from the v166 runs, using the v166 parameter files. Before releasing, I took down the older runs, and so I was not expecting the work units to do this, and for that I apologize.
Fortunately, this error would occur right at the beginning, before anything began to run so it will not cause any wasted computational time. If you have any v166 runs in your queue, you can go ahead and cancel them so they do not give this error.
Most of my v168 runs are blowing up. Do I abort the v168 runs in queue?
this is the data version.
other ramifications (like not getting new tasks:-)) just let them run.

Why is the N-Body credit such a pittance with double digit credit even when run time is the same as the regular WU?
had great hopes the new model Nbody would resolve faults: still getting Nbody trapped, sometimes suspend helps (so far i am around 5 successes to 20 failures), restart has so far not.
Second thought: with our Nbody fails being a pain in the proverbial, are they responsible for some of the failed reporting stuff? In particular their runtime can exceed their report times, which could also cause failures on single processor tasks paused to complete a multicore Nbody that never sees completion?
Message 67062 - Posted: 11 Feb 2018, 12:28:20 UTC - in response to Message 67022.
Maybe I misunderstand, but v166 tasks are still being sent out.
v166 and v168 data file formats.
I have only been getting v166 lately is there a pointer the the v166 application?
It looked good for a few days, but I've picked up some v166 tasks recently (see examples).
-Number of Nbody work units locking up seems to be getting worse: are they being prioritized by your distribution system?
-Do your systems have a way to measure or monitor how many times such work units are being passed back and forth without reaching completion?
As a personal complaint: I do wish Bionic could reduce the total cpu% being utilized, this insistence on using 100% processor X% of the time causes thermal spikes that can lead to thermal throttling. Poor laptop.

I get a KeyError: 'origQty', which is weird, because this error should appear when i try to reference a parameter which doesn't exist, but it exists, since it is in my response. What am i doing wrong?

A: Here you iterating dictionary on keys, so each time you are trying to get value from key, that's why it is giving KeyError.
This occurs when a key which is not present in a dictionary and still it accessed.
This can be achieved by following way.
for x in tot:
    print(tot[x].get('symbol'))
    print(tot[x].get('origQty'))

Give output
ETHBTC
0.01800000

A: I am not sure what is the format of tot. But you can try this.
for x, v in dict(tot).items():
    print(v['symbol'])
    print(v['origQty'])

Output:
ETHBTC
0.01800000

Posted on December 3, 2021 by hometownheadlines • 0 Comments
A Rome man has died following an accident Monday evening on Ga. 101 near Dean Road in Polk County, according to the Georgia State Patrol. Killed was the lone driver, Jordan Dwight Conaway, 40, of Rome. The accident occurred at 7:19 p.m. and shut down the highway for several hours based on earlier police reports.
According to the Georgia State Patrol:
The 2000 Ford Crown Victoria driven by Conaway was traveling south on Ga. 101. The driver failed to maintain his lane and traveled onto the right shoulder. The vehicle began to rotate counter-clockwise, striking a concrete culvert with its passenger side. After the impact, the Crown Victoria overturned multiple times.
The driver was ejected from the vehicle and became trapped underneath it, as it came to a final uncontrolled rest.
Polk County Coroner Norman Smith said Conaway was pronounced dead at the accident scene.
This was the second fatal accident on Ga. 101 in three days. A Silver Creek man died Saturday in a collision near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road on the Floyd County side of the highway.
Mr. Jordan Dwight Conaway, age 40, of Rome, GA, passed away on Monday, November 29, 2021, due to a motor vehicle accident.
Jordan was born in Rome, GA on March 5, 1981. Jordan graduated from Armuchee High School, and from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach Florida. Jordan was a member of North Rome Church of God.
Survivors include his seven-year-old daughter, Bella Rose Grace Conaway; Bella's mother, Ashley Conaway; his mother & father, Paula Warren Conaway and Ronnie E. Conaway; sister, Kim Bishop; brother, Matt Conaway; grandmother, Nadine Headrick.
Jordan was a very kind and loving father, and he had a giving and humble heart. Jordan will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family will receive friends at Henderson & Sons Funeral Home, North Chapel, on Saturday, December 4, 2021, from 5:00 pm until 7:00pm with social distancing guidelines being followed.

Because most children don't like homework, but it still has to be done. According to studies, children can spend up to 2.5 hours a day at a desk doing their homework. Therefore, they should have a workplace that accommodates their body size and provides maximum comfort. PAIDI has developed a functionally and ergonomically designed range, which can grow together with your child.
The desk has to adapt to the child and not the other way round! Orthopedics and ergonomics experts recommend that both desk and chair can be progressively adjusted in height. For an optimal seating position, the thighs should form a horizontal line, lower legs should form a vertical line and the soles of the feet placed flat on the floor. An upright posture relieves the spine.

Mother stabs her own son to death after he catches her on a date
Oct 21, 2020 4:20 AM EDT
Lucivania Lopes killed her son after he came home to find her drinking with someone his own age.
By Kim Marie Moser
Mutunópolis, Brazil - Brazilian Lucivania Lopes had been drinking with her young lover all day when her son suddenly showed up. Things escalated quickly from there and ended in tragedy.

It's a sight you'd probably prefer to avoid: a parent engaged in romantic activities – especially if it's with someone your own age.
This unpleasant scenario became a reality for 21-year-old Jose Carlos da Silva Junior on Friday, according to The Sun. The young man from a small town near the capital Brasília went to visit his mother and ended up catching her on a date with a 22-year-old.
In an interview with the police, Lucivania Lopes (37) said that her son completely lost control and attacked the other man, in a fit of rage.
Then, when she tried to separate the two, she was attacked herself.
Lopes told officers that she grabbed a knife to defend herself and then accidentally stabbed her boy in the chest.
However, she didn't seem to be concerned enough to call for help. Brazilian media reported that da Silva Junior was only taken to the hospital after other locals found him. These neighbors also called the police.
Lopes was immediately arrested and her son died of his injuries the following day.
The woman's lover and the murder weapon have disappeared and the authorities are searching for both.
Lucivania Lopes must now stand trial for murder and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

FAA program director Thomas R. Fulcher gave tips based on his experience working on an enterprise architecture.
Debra Stouffer, EPA's chief technology officer, said her team is using an interactive tool to build business cases for IT projects.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration are building online tools to plan their enterprise architectures.
Speaking at a recent Washington conference, EPA chief technology officer Debra D. Stouffer said the Federal Enterprise Architecture Business Reference Model serves as a useful starting point for business case development. Many agencies compile lengthy documents about what they would like to invest in, finding duplications only at the last minute, she said.
EPA project managers will have an interactive guide to preparing business cases in a 'logical, uncomplicated and timely' format, so they aren't frustrated during the June-to-September crunch.
'It's Oct. 8 and as far as I'm concerned, we are seven days late in the fiscal 2005 process,' Stouffer said.
The preparation schedule sets target deadlines, and electronic reference materials for compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act and other regulations are only a click away, she said. The interactive guide will be Web-enabled.
Also at the conference, two FAA officials demonstrated a prototype enterprise architecture portal.
Thomas R. Fulcher, program director of the FAA's Information Management Division, said his group started out with existing components such as the agency's extensive metadata repository. They focused first on administrative systems, which are less documented than airspace systems.
FAA is following the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework 'because we feel it epitomizes best practices and is widely understood,' Fulcher said. 'We're delving into areas that people don't want to talk about,' so senior management support for the effort is crucial.
Make sure there is enough money before the project starts, because a supplemental request is never well-received.
FAA officials are now interviewing candidates for chief architect and are setting up a program office for enterprise architecture. The architecture portal has cost about $940,000 to develop over the last nine months, Fulcher said.

Q: Is it possible to read a text or spreadsheet file with javascript I want to load and parse files (.txt, .csv, .xls, even .json) from a basic (HTML5/CSS3/jQuery) web site/app. Is this possible, or do security concerns prevent such? If it is possible, does anybody have any sample code showing how to accomplish it?
Note: I'm talking about a user uploading a file from their machine - not a file sitting on the web server / not a file that is part of the site's data.

A: I don't know how the .xls file format is written exactly, but the others you mention should be able to be parsed rather easily (e.g. splitting on newlines/whitespace, commas and semicolons): split, RegExp, JSON.parse.
As for getting the files, an XHR should suffice.

A: Parsing a text file is straightforward.  There are libraries available for parsing CSV and XLS files.
You can read client data using HTML5 file api or XHR.  For example, the XLS library has a HTML5 File API demo

A: You should use the FileReader API to open a local file on the client side.
Parsing the plain text files should be easy using the appropriate tool:

*

*JSON.parse for .json files

*Regex for TXT and CSV files

Not sure about XLS, though.

If you want to parse the file server-side (which I assumed you didn't), just use an <input type="file"/>.

Mongabay Series: Indonesian Fisheries
Indonesia targets illegal fishing vessel owners under new bill
by Basten Gokkon on 31 May 2018 |
Indonesia's fisheries ministry has submitted to parliament a bill of amendments aimed at strengthening the 2009 Fisheries Act through more stringent provisions.
These include recognizing, for the first time, the criminal culpability of the owners of vessels engaged in illegal fishing activities. Under the bill, these owners would face longer prison sentences and heavier fines than their crews.
While legal experts and sustainable-fishing activists have welcomed the bill, concerns remain over the less-than-clear language of some of the provisions, which could open up loopholes.
The government expects the bill to be passed this year, and says it will bring much-needed transparency to the fisheries industry.
JAKARTA — The owners of ships engaged in illegal fishing in Indonesia could finally face criminal justice under proposed amendments to the country's fisheries law, as the government seeks to foster a sustainable industry in one of the world's richest fisheries.
The bill of amendments submitted to parliament by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries incorporates points from existing ministerial and presidential decrees issued after the passage of the 2009 Fisheries Act. These include bans on, among other things, foreign fishing vessels and crews; the transshipment of fish catches between vessels at sea; and foreign investment in the capture fisheries sector.
The ministry is also seeking authority for law enforcement agencies to burn and sink boats caught in the act of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, without having to wait for a guilty verdict from a court, as is currently required.

The most important point, though, is the proposed expansion of criminal punishment for perpetrators of illegal fishing. Under the current legislation, only those caught in the act of IUU fishing — typically boat crews — face prosecution, while the owners of the vessels avoid any kind of punishment.
"We never punish the corporate owners of [illegal fishing] vessels," Susi Pudjiastuti, the fisheries minister, said during a public discussion on May 21 in Jakarta. "The result is that a syndication, a transnational organized crime [network] in fisheries, has flourished globally. This must not happen anymore."
The bill calls for criminal sanctions for corporate and beneficiary owners of vessels engaged in illegal fishing. It prescribes jail sentences for these owners that are one-third longer than the sentences handed down to their boat crews, and fines that are two-thirds higher.
"My hope for the [fisheries] bill is that it will improve weak fundamentals in the current law," Susi said, adding that the proposed amendments were aimed at achieving sovereignty, sustainability and prosperity in Indonesia's fisheries industry.
"I hope that the revisions can help Indonesia become the world's maritime fulcrum," she added.
Mas Achmad Santosa, who chairs a presidentially appointed task force on illegal fishing, said punishing the vessel owners and the corporate beneficiaries was part of a move toward greater transparency and law enforcement in the industry, and would serve as a deterrent effect.
"Good fisheries governance must be transparent, and fishing companies must be held responsible and accountable," he said.

Up to 80 percent of fishers operating in Indonesian waters are small-scale fishers, defined under the country's laws as those with vessels smaller than 5 gross tonnage (GT). The proposed amendments will allow them to operate in all areas except the core zones of marine conservation areas. They will also be exempted from having to obtain operating permits, but will have to document and report their catches regularly to local authorities.
The fisheries ministry is also proposing new protections on the "rights of oceans," and recognition of the role coastal communities play in marine conservation.
"The ocean actually has the right to defend its existence, tend to its health, and ensure the sustainability of its resources," said Sjarief Widjaja, the ministry's head of capture fisheries, adding that this was part of the government's efforts "to achieve sustainable fisheries management."
Discussions on the bill of amendments, between the fisheries ministry and the parliamentary commission that oversees marine, forestry and agriculture issues, began in April.
"We hope this bill will provide a solution to Indonesia's marine woes, particularly in advocating for law enforcement against illegal fishing," Edhy Prabowo, the commission chairman, said at the May 21 discussion. "At the same time, it must benefit our fishermen in [terms of] sovereignty and sustainability."
Arif Satria, chancellor of the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) and an expert on marine policy, said the bill would help improve the sustainability of Indonesia's fisheries.
"By adding regulations on ocean rights, [the bill] could be categorized as 'strong sustainability,' because the law will not just acknowledge the rights of living things, but also those of non-living ones, like water," Arif said.
Arifsyah Nasution, oceans campaigner with Greenpeace Indonesia, said the proposed amendments would underpin a clearer path for sustainable marine resources management to flourish in the country.
"I think the sustainability aspect in this bill is stronger than the current fisheries law," he said.

Arifsyah noted, though, that the language in some of the provisions was unclear, which could create loopholes for illegal fishing.
On the issue of transshipment, for instance, the bill bans the practice if carried out "without landing the catches at appointed fish ports or state-owned ports with customs facility." Arifsyah said this could be interpreted to mean that transshipment was permitted as long as the catches were landed at certain ports.
The bill also exempts from the transshipment ban "support vessels for fishing operations that work between the fishing ground and the appointed ports." Arifsyah said this could provide cover for illegal fishers to pass off their boats as support vessels.
This gray area, he warned, could blunt the impact of the transshipment ban. He noted that a regulation already exists stipulating a complete prohibition on transshipment in Indonesian waters. If the bill passes in its current form, it would take precedence over this much stronger regulation.
Arifsyah also said the bill should still limit foreign investment in the downstream fisheries sector, which includes processing and distribution, to prevent foreign control of the sector.
"There are Indonesian businesses in this sector that need government support, protection and guidance," he said. "We are not against foreign investment, but the main players in the Indonesian fisheries industry must still be state-owned or local private companies."
The draft is currently under review by the House's legislative body, known as Baleg. However, the draft will have to be reviewed in a cabinet meeting and in a House's plenary meeting before it can be passed into law.
Sjarief, the fisheries ministry official, said he was optimistic the bill would be passed this year. He added the ministry would also hold discussions with fishing companies and communities during the ongoing deliberations.
Arifsyah said it was important for the ministry to get the support of fishers, the private sector, marine experts and civil society groups to help pass the bill. It must also ensure that the administration of President Joko Widodo is committed to establishing a sustainable fisheries industry in Indonesia, he said.
"We hope this fisheries bill will be truly more progressive and clearer in establishing the three goals of sovereignty, sustainability and prosperity," Arifsyah said.

Hi all. Now I remember why I love working on Macs. They're easy! Yes, that's it, they're so easy. Well, they used to be.
I had a customer come in with an SE/30 this week. Problem described: Floppy disk on screen with a flashing "?". Okay, I put my vast knowledge base into full operation and took a look at what's going on. Sure enough, there it was in vivid Black &White, my arch enemy, the flashing "?". I reached for my utility belt (in this case, my tool bag) and from within its vast cavernous regions (man, I haven't cleaned this thing out in months), I was able to find my superpower tools of technical marvel. Yes, there was my kryptonite-resistant, external hard drive. Aha, there was the laser-enhanced data recovery software (SUM II, remember that? Great stuff!)! Now, on to the challenge! Awayyyyyyyy!
Okay, it really wasn't that big a deal. I was able to recover the data, reformat the hard drive, transfer the data back on to the drive and it worked perfectly. In and out in less than 1 hour.
With all of the new extensions, INITs, enablers, drivers, etc. that are on the Macs today, it was refreshing to be able to simply repair the Mac without having to run to the Tech Support Batphone or the SuperHero Service Source CD (Apple's great tech manual). I realize that with newer, greater, faster and better technology that the software has to be upgraded with it for it to run properly.
In comparison to our Windows '95 counterparts, I know that I have nothing to complain about. The Macintosh is still an easier system to run by far. I work in a service center that is not only Apple Authorized but many of the other major CPU makers are serviced here, too. I have often watched as a technician will get so frustrated because he can't get the "sound" to work. Sound Blaster or whatever is incompatible with this or that driver. And networking is fun to watch. I chuckle to myself a lot. They are so pitiful to watch. Man, I hope they're not reading this… :^D
Anyway, just a quick note to let you know that we have progressed in many ways. Macs are still superior machines. Easy, right?
Here's what's coming up in the next few exciting episodes of The Senior Macintosh Center. Recently, I've had some people ask me to talk about the infamous Upgrade Path (insert scary music) and the journey from Start to Finish. Last month, I wrote about System 7.5.3. I'll continue on this thought for a while because I know there are some pitfalls that can trip you up and cause some major headaches that you don't need. We'll have fun… won't we? Take it easy… :^D

Congratulations! Hopefully the line keeps getting darker & darker for you!
I'm 11DPO but I won't test until Wednesday or Thursday next week. I had some cramping very low down on my left side from about 8-10DPO but its gone now. It was on the same side I ovulated from this cycle so who knows?!
Congrats to the bfps however.

May i join in this thread?? A little background from me, DH and I have been trying for #1 since Jan 2011 but put ttc on hold till after our wedding which was 1st of this month and turned out i was expected to O on our honeymoon. Due for af around 19th Sept, will wait to test if af doesn't show up.

Q: Prove f has at least one fixed point on the boundary Let $$f(z) = \frac{a-z^2}{1- \bar a \cdot z^2}$$ where $a \in D=\{|z| <1\} $.
Denote the boundary as $S =\{|z| =1\} $. Show that $f$ has at least one fixed point $w \in S$.
Obviously, $f(S) \subseteq S$, so I can't compare $|f(z)|$ with $|z|$ in $S$. And if I simplify $f(z)-z$, I get $\bar a z^3 - z^2 -z +a$. I don't know how to use Rouche's theorem then.
Also, Rouche's theorem only tells the number of roots inside the circle or annulus. I don't know how to find the root on the boundary. Maybe replace $z$ by $\frac{1}{z}$?

A: You are trying to solve $f(z)=z$ and see a root on the unit circle.  This is just
$\frac{a-z^2}{1-\overline{a}z^2}=z$ or $$\overline{a}z^3-z^2-z+a=0.$$
You want to see that it has a root on the unit circle.
Multiplying the displayed equation through by $z^{-3}$ and taking the complex conjugate, we see that if $z$ solves the equation then so does $\frac{1}{\overline{z}}$.
The map $T(z)=\frac{1}{\overline{z}}$ is an involution of the Riemann sphere that exchanges the unit disk minus $0$ with the complex numbers of norm greater than $1$. Notice $0$ is not a root.
If there are no roots on the unit circle, then there must be an even number of roots, as the involution above exchanges each root outside the unit circle with a root inside the unit circle. This contradicts the fact that a polynomial of degree three has three roots counting multiplicities.

A: Sorry I do not know much about complex number, but here is one using geometry.
Assume no fixed point.
Hence $\frac{f(z)}{z}$ is a continuous function that does not pass through $1$. Obviously, since $f(z)$ map $S$ to subset of $S$ we have $\frac{f(z)}{z}$ also map $S$ to subset of $S$.
We have $f(-z)=f(z)$ (since $z$ always get squared in the formula for $f(z)$). Now we have $\frac{f(-z)}{-z}=\frac{f(z)}{-z}=-\frac{f(z)}{z}$. In other word, if $w$ is in the range of $\frac{f(z)}{z}$, so is $-w$. Which means that: (a) $\frac{f(z)}{z}$, in addition to $1$, must not pass through $-1$ either; and (b) it also have to pass through 2 opposite points.
Now we have a circle. $\frac{f(z)}{z}$ cannot pass through neither $1$ or $-1$ but must be continuous and somehow contain in its range 2 opposite point. Contradiction.
Side remark: looks like the requirement that $|a|<1$ is nearly completely superfluous. The argument still work even if $|a|>1$, and if $|a|=1$ and $a\not=1$ then there are 2 singularity...except that they're completely removable, because both zeros of numerator and denominator are order 1, and the fixed point does not happen at that removable singularity. As for $a=1$, then $f(z)$ do not have a fixed point indeed. So I guess the condition that $|a|<1$ is only needed to rule out $a=1$.

A: Look at the function $g:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ such that $f(e^{ix}) = e^{ig(x)}$.  Clearly the function is only defined up to a multiple of $2\pi$, but you will notice that $g(2\pi) = g(0) + 4\pi$ if $g$ is continuous.  (The winding number of the curve $x \mapsto f(e^{ix})$ is 2.)  So by messing around with the intermediate value theorem, you should be able to deduce the existence of a point $x_0$ such that $x_0 = g(x_0) \pmod {2\pi}$.

A: write
$f(z) = \frac{a-z^2}{1- \bar a \cdot z^2}=\frac{p(z)}{q(z)}$
$\gamma(t):=\exp\big(2\pi i \cdot t\big)$ for $t\in[0,1]$
e.g. Rouche's Theorem tells you that $n\big(p\circ\gamma,0\big)=2$ and $n\big(q\circ\gamma,0\big)=0$
$\implies n\big(f\circ\gamma,0\big)=2-0=2$
with the inversion map $h:z\mapsto z^{-1}$, consider the curve $\sigma$ given by
$\sigma(t) := \big(h\circ \gamma(t)\big) \cdot \big(f\circ\gamma(t)\big)$
$\implies n\big(\sigma,0\big)=n\big(h\circ\gamma, 0\big)+n\big(f\circ\gamma, 0\big)=-1+2=1\neq 0$
the non-zero winding number tells us $\frac{f}{z}:S^1\longrightarrow S^1$ is surjective
(if not surjective, we may rotate and stereographically project into $\mathbb R$ which is convex hence null homotopic)
In particular $z=1$ is in its image thus $\frac{f\big(\gamma(t')\big)}{\gamma(t')}=1$ for some $t'\in[0,1)$ i.e. $f\big(\gamma(t')\big) =\gamma(t')$ so $f$ has a fixed point.
remark:
if $\vert a\vert \gt 1$ then we'd have
$n\big(f\circ\gamma,0\big)=0-2=-2$ and $n\big(\sigma,0\big)=-1-2=-3$
which actually implies at least 3 distinct fixed points on the unit circle


Innovation can encompass many different ways of creating change. Some will be incremental, some may be disruptive. In some cases, there will be inventions, but in the five most common forms of innovation, there is no new product.
Every time I hear "we have always done it this way" I cringe. Almost without exception, there will be opportunities to improve any operation, any procedure, or any method. Following is just one example to get your mind thinking.
Outside of the largest and/or the most sophisticated companies, few people have heard of Evaluated Receipts Settlement or ERS. It is a very simple concept, but one that is difficult for most business people to feel comfortable with.
In a fully implemented ERS environment, buyers and sellers eliminate their respective accounts payable and accounts receivable departments. Each trading partner also gets rid of paper shipping receipts and buyers no longer match receiving tickets with purchase orders and invoices. Heresy you say? Sounds impossible? Not really, it is being done in large industries every day.
Here is how it works. The buyer sends the supplier an electronic purchase order form. The seller's computer checks it for availability and price. If everything matches, then a paperless picking ticket is sent to the warehouse and the order can be picked, packed, and shipped in less time than it used to take to get a P.O. by snail mail and route it through all of the required approvals.
Just before the order is shipped, a barcode is assigned to the package (a box, pallet, or even a whole truck). The barcode is electronically associated with the original purchase order and each of the items in the shipping container. Then the supplier's computer sends the buyer's computer an advanced shipping notice to tell it what is being sent, by what means, and the expected delivery time.
When the delivery is received, the buyer's dock worker just reads the barcode and "automagically" the work is completed. First, electronic signals are sent to handheld devices telling the warehouse personnel what to put away and where. If anything is to be "cross docked" to go right out to fulfill an order, that is noted and any required paperwork is printed out and waiting.
At the same time, the entire order is received into inventory, the amount due the supplier is calculated by multiplying the number of items received times the cost in the purchase order, and an electronic payment is made to the supplier. A process that used to take 30 to 60 days is done in seconds. Handling multiple records, matching of documents, losing/finding and filing paper is eliminated, and everyone makes more money.
People tell me they cannot live without the float from holding their money for an extra 30 days. Maybe that was true at one time, but not today. Most suppliers will even give you a discount worth more than what little you can earn on your money. Plus, if you calculate the labor savings, you will find you make much more money in the end.
When business owners first hear about ERS cannot believe it works. The international auto industry could not afford to operate without it. Think about the difference it would make in your operating costs or bottom line.
Step back and look at all of your processes – especially those that have always been done a specific way. I guarantee there are opportunities waiting for you to innovate. Every one of them will make you more efficient and effective. Just be open to the possibilities.
