Clarkson: Hinsdale area performances bring out the season's best
By Sara Clarkson

Holiday music is so joyous, so bright during such a dark time of the year. Allow it to invade and pervade your senses as an antidote to the season's frenzy.
To follow are a few musical offerings which should not be missed and a new holiday offering from The Community House: its own version of "A Christmas Carol: In Concert" featuring many talented members of our community.
Over at Hinsdale Central High School, the orchestra concert is scheduled for Nov. 27, and Nov. 29 is the Jingle Bell Java concert, a group of casual musical performances by various Central musical ensembles including the morning jazz group, the Acafellas, wind ensemble and chamber orchestra, just to name a few. It runs from 7-9 p.m. in the school cafeteria at 5500 Grant St., and features coffee and cookies in addition to the music.
The Hinsdale Central Madrigal Choir will perform at 7 p.m. on Dec. 3 at The Community House, 415 W. 8th St., Hinsdale, and the annual Holiday Concert will be held at 7 p.m. on Dec. 12 in the high school's auditorium. The various high school music groups perform at a very high level, and the visual artists at Central do as well. From Dec. 4-14, Central art students will host displays so do go out of your way to look for those.
The Spirito! Singers, many of whom come from Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills, will put on its annual holiday concert entitled What Sweeter Music, at 4 p.m. on Dec. 1 and 3 p.m. on Dec. 2, at the Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, 149 W. Brush Hill Rd., Elmhurst. Spirito is an ensemble of young women who have auditioned to join, rehearse, learn and grow as singers. Tickets are $25. Go to www.spiritosingers.org for more information or to buy tickets.

For the first time, The Community House is putting on a special production of "A Christmas Carol: In Concert" in which actors will read parts of the novel and will also perform musical numbers. Earlier this year auditions were held for the 30 or so roles, and Community Revue actors — our friends and neighbors who put on the every-other-year musical farce making loving fun of life in our village — have filled many of the roles.
Dick Johnson will perform as the Ghost of Christmas Present, and he brings an "effusive kindness" and "authoritative quality" to the role, according to Jimmy McDermott, The Community House's arts program director. Norm Chimenti will play Ebenezer Scrooge. Roberta Wentling, who runs the Tiny Toes early childhood music program, is directing the production.
Audiences can expect a few surprises and will be delighted with the arc of the music, McDermott said. Each performance of "A Christmas Carol: The Concert" will benefit a different community partner. The 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7 show will aid the Hinsdale Humane Society; the 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8 show will aid People's Resource Center; and the 1 p.m. Dec. 9 show will aid HCS Family Services. Go to www.thecommunityhouse.org for tickets and more information.

Yuvi Kochar is the Chief Technology Officer for The Washington Post and president of The Washington Area CTO Roundtable, a 200-member organization.
Yuvi shares his insider advice about how to make networking work for YOU.
Do you have any advice for up-and-coming IT individuals?
It is important to identify what you like about someone and how that resonates with where you are headed in your career, and then trying to build a relationship around that mentorship. First ask; 'who do I respect as an individual?' and 'who do I relate with the most in terms of how they approach their career and life?' I do that with a fair number of people in our organization on a regular basis, just to brainstorm what are they working on and how they can advance their career in the direction they want.
How has a mentor helped you?
I started working at a large firm in New York as an insurer, and I was working for an outsourcing company, managing an outsourcing deal both from delivery and sales prospective; my company recognized that I was being asked to move up into a role that was a stretch from where I was. So they proactively assigned someone as a mentor for me. I would meet with him every evening to figure out what approach was best to resolve issues. So I had a very crucial experience of working with someone who was specifically assigned to be my mentor to move me to the next level.
How much do you attribute your success to luck and how much to networking?
Formal networking isn't everything. In my career I have never found employment through a job posting. All my jobs have been found through my network of people; I think it is extremely important to have and nurture a network. When I arrived to D.C. about 7 years ago, I realized it was important to build a network, get to know people in the area. If I am looking to recruit someone for a project, it is so much easier to find someone through the network than to start looking when the opening comes up. So since moving to D.C. I have proactively joined common interest groups. I generally don't like large networking events because it is hard to find people who you can have a relevant discussion with.
Bottom line, what is the key to creating a good personal brand?
I have come to realize that networking is networking, it very easy to forget, but it is something someone should be doing on an ongoing basis to remain connected and to also be aware of the resources one can have access to through the network, through work or personal life.

If my kids consistently ask to have this soup, then that must mean it's a good recipe right? The first time I made this Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, it was an instant hit. The whole family devoured it. It's actually a really easy recipe that requires little effort, but the outcome tastes like it's a gourmet soup from your favorite restaurant. It's light and fresh, but still satisfying.
Most of my favorite tomato soups are creamy, and unfortunately loaded with heavy cream or cheese, meaning they have a lot of fat. But my tomato soup recipe has that thick, creamy, velvety texture that I love but without the heavy cream or cheese.
By using my immersion blender, I'm able to get such a divine, buttery texture, without having to add in the ingredients I don't want. And the bonus is that I can blend it all in the pot without having to transfer everything to my blender. Fewer dishes to clean up! Yay! Seriously, if you don't have an immersion blender, you are missing out. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools.
But let's get back to the soup. Another important step is the roasting of the tomatoes. It adds a lovely char that contributes a delicious, smoky flavor to the soup. Don't skip that step!
And with just 4 Points, this Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is a perfect recipe to help keep you on track.
A simple, dairy-free tomato soup that's light, healthy, and bursting with fresh flavors. You'll never want canned tomato soup after you've had this!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss tomatoes and garlic cloves with the olive oil, and place them on the baking sheet. Roast for 35 - 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are charred.
Heat the butter in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the onions, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes or until the onions start to brown.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, basil, oregano, and stock (or water). Add in the oven roasted tomatoes and garlic, including any juices on the baking sheet. Bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, stirring regularly.
Using an immersion blender, process the soup until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I apologize for sounding picky, but for a vegan recipe, shouldn't the butter be replaced with a vegan alternative?
I am confused – I put in the nutritional values at the bottom of the recipe and it come out to 10SP, how do you get 4?
Hi Christina! To answer your question, it's important to keep in mind that zero point foods are NOT included when determining a recipe's SmartPoints® value (with the exception of blended fruit beverages). This includes fruit, vegetables, eggs, beans, skinless chicken and turkey breast, tofu, and more. Get the full list of zero point foods here: https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/m/cms/article/all-about-our-200-zero-points-foods.
So when you see the Points value posted, it is based ONLY on ingredients that have a SmartPoints® value. HOWEVER, the nutritional info that I post contains the data for ALL ingredients. As there are many people who read LaaLoosh and do not follow the Weight Watchers plan, this provides them with the nutritional info that they need.
Yes, you can use all canned tomatoes, but if you try to roast them, they'll be too wet, and you won't be able to get that char on them. That char is what gives this soup such a delicious flavor!
Do you removed the charred skins of the roasted tomatoes before adding to the soup?

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council in an effort to halt Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said in a statement Saturday morning Palestinian media reported.
According to the statement, Abbas instructed Palestinian representative at the United Nations Riyad Mansour to call for an urgent session of the Security Council to discuss the airstrikes on Gaza.

On Friday, Lebanon threatened to use its veto in the Security Council, thwarting the passage of a resolution condemning the terror attacks in southern Israel which left eight Israelis dead.
Beirut, currently one of the rotating non-permanent members of the Council, demanded that the statement drafted by the Israeli delegation be amended to include criticism of Israel's retaliatory air strikes on Gaza that killed seven Palestinians including the leader of a militant group.
Rather than change the wording of the statement Israel decided not to bring it for a vote which would need to the approval of all 15 members of the council including Lebanon to become a resolution.

Jerusalem Post Opinion Editorials
Candidly Speaking: Get tough with Hamas now
The deterrent established in the wake of Operation Cast Lead is eroding rapidly and we are again reconciling ourselves to being subjected to 'low level' missile attacks.
By ISI LEIBLER

These are indeed difficult times requiring painful decisions over issues such as how to placate the Obama administration in order to forestall a breakdown in US-Israel relations and avoid international efforts to force us to revert to the 1949 armistice lines.
But when it comes to matters of defense, there are clear lessons to be learned from the past.
Yet, in addition to Wednesday's monstrous attack opposite the Jerusalem Central Bus Station, there is a horrible sense of déjà vu as we observe the rapid escalation of Hamas missile launches which had been reduced as a byproduct of Operation Cast Lead.
One is even tempted to compare the current situation with what happened 10 years ago when the crude and limited-range Kassam rockets were first launched against us and contemptuously dismissed by leaders as primitive missiles with little capacity to incur serious damage or casualties.
In a Jerusalem Post column at the time, I predicted that if we avoided tough measures to curtail these "primitive" rocket attacks, the international community would become accustomed to regarding Palestinian missile launches against our civilians as the norm.
When the government would ultimately be obliged to act, a world accustomed to Israeli passivity against such attacks, would accuse us of over-reacting.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what happened. Each time we responded, we were accused of disproportionality.
Moreover, the situation deteriorated to such an extent that we were left with no alternative but to mount a full scale war against Hamas in Gaza for which the international community condemned us.
IT IS thus alarming to observe the government again prevaricating, issuing empty threats and bombing primarily empty buildings in Gaza in response to increasing attacks.
This has climaxed in recent weeks, with 50 missiles raining down over the Negev over the weekend and the deployment of lethal Iranian grad rockets. Israelis living in the southern region were destabilized and a few were even injured.
Moreover, this is the first time that instead of trying to blame "unauthorized groups," Hamas felt sufficiently confident to brazenly accept direct responsibility for the missile launches.
Yet, according to media reports, the security establishment relates to these outrageous breaches of international law and attacks on Israeli civilians as "low level confrontation" and reassures us that Hamas was not seeking a "major" conflict. And when civilians located adjacent to rocket-launching areas became casualties we once again apologize rather than condemning those responsible.
Obviously, the deterrent established in the wake of Operation Cast Lead "is eroding rapidly and we are again reconciling ourselves to large areas of Israel being subjected to "low level" missile attacks without reacting with tough military responses.
We should be under no illusions. Limiting our responses in order to meet Western expectations of "proportionality" serves no purpose. The lesson learned from Cast Lead was that any action we undertake to defend ourselves will at best be condemned as disproportionate but more likely as war crimes. One need only compare the absence of international criticism to the innocent casualties from Western bombardments in Libya in contrast to the cynical and hypocritical condemnations of Israel during Cast Lead, despite the far greater efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties.
A MAJOR motivation for the attacks by the Iranian proxy Hamas is undoubtedly to divert attention from Iran's internal problems and its ongoing nuclear project. There is also the desire by Hamas leaders to deflect domestic public opposition to their rule. But above all, Hamas is testing our resolve and seeking to identify to what extent we will remain restrained because of our concern not to antagonize or embarrass the Americans who are pressuring us not to be "spoilers" during this period of turmoil sweeping the Arab world.
This is surely one time when we must demand that our prime minister display decisive leadership, gather his cabinet and insist this will be one of the rare occasions when all ministers must display unity and speak with one voice, proclaiming to the world that failing to employ deterrence is a prescription for disaster.
The opposition should be co-opted to create a united front and there is little doubt that Kadima supporters will demand that the party support such a policy.
Our embassies must be instructed to inform all nations that we will remain neither passive nor act with restraint. If Hamas continues launching lethal missiles against our civilians, we will severely punish them. We should emphasize that we seek quiet and stability on our borders. But if our citizens are targeted once again, not by terrorist splinter groups but by Hamas, which has exclusive jurisdiction over Gaza, it will be made to pay a bitter price. We will resume targeted assassinations and, while endeavoring to minimize civilian casualties, will be obliged to inflict massive reprisals on its infrastructure.
WE MUST make it clear in advance that Israel will no longer adhere to the tit-for-tat formula and that we will respond with overwhelming force, not because we seek revenge but in order to deter future attacks. This is not behaving disproportionately but is rather striving to employ deterrence to protect our civilians and avoid a new full-scale conflict. Such behavior is fully consistent with international law and our obligation to defend our citizens from outright aggression.
The time to bite the bullet is now. If we fail to reinforce deterrence immediately, the long-term price may be far more severe than any worldwide condemnations that will result.
We will be adopting a moral position which will undoubtedly be condemned by those with no love for Israel. But any country seeking to deny our government the right to protect its civilians will stand exposed as malicious hypocrites.
Ideally, this strategy may serve to stabilize the borders and avoid another war. On the other hand, if Hamas has a desire for martyrdom, we will be obliged to once again confront them full on. I am no military strategist, but it would surely be preferable for us to face this situation now, before Hamas manages to acquire more deadly weaponry that will undoubtedly reach Gaza under a future Egyptian regime.
We would also be in a better position to confront the terrorists today, prior to the stabilization of the new Arab governments – which are likely to be even more hostile to us than their predecessors.
A short response to Rabbi Marc Schneier
Contrary to Rabbi Schneier's assertion, I support Muslim-Jewish dialogue – with the caveat that the Muslim partner is willing to unequivocally condemn terror and global Islamic excesses.
Yet Schneier's principal partner and sponsor is Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul who idolizes Louis Farrakhan, the vile anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam.
Schneier boasts of his association with the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA]. He fails to mention that it was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, has a long history of promoting fundamentalism and anti-Semitism, and remains an unindicted coconspirator for financing Hamas.
Of late, ISNA portrays itself as moderate, and occasionally issues statements condemning terrorist excesses. Yet at its conference it featured speakers spewing anti-Semitism, supporting Hezbollah and endorsing books which compared Israelis with Nazis, backed Hamas and promoted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
This body essentially represents a component of the Wahhabi lobby in the US. It should not qualify as a body with which any reputable Jewish leader should be associated, and it is thus a disgrace that Schneier lends his name to legitimizing such an organization.
Schneier alleges that he enjoys the support of the World Jewish Congress. Yet the WJC secretarygeneral Michael Schneider informs me that Schneier was notified that he could not speak on behalf of the WJC at the New York demonstration against Peter King's proposed public hearings on radicalization of the Muslim community in the US. The WJC also declined to join his board, and does not fund him.
When Schneier proclaims "today I am a Muslim too," the least he should do is call on his Muslim associates to condemn the anti-Semitism, persecution, murder, religious cleansing and denial of human rights to non-Muslims that prevail in many Islamic states.

Babay Da Mehal: A piece of history
'Babay Da Mehal', or 'Old man's palace', is the popular name for the 'Bedi Palace', which was built by Baba Khem Singh Bedi in the late 19th century. The place is near Pindi.
Born on Feb 21, 1832, in this small district, Baba Khem Singh was a direct descendant of the founder of Sikh religion, Baba Nanak Dev. Khem Singh Bedi was also known as a leading figure in the Singh Sabha Movement, a reformist movement of the Sikh religion.
A series of murals depicting Sikh gurus. Over the years, visitors have carved their names into the paint.
According to references available in Sikh history, Baba Khem Singh assisted the British Raj in suppressing a rebellion in Gugera, a town near Okara district, during the 1857 Indian mutiny. In recognition of his services, he was appointed a magistrate in 1877 and was later nominated to the Viceroy's Legislative Council in 1893.
Baba Khem Singh Bedi was awarded a knighthood in 1898 and died in Montgomery (now Sahiwal) on April 10, 1905.
A jharoka, meant for ventilation, in the courtyard. There would be several of these in such buildings to help ensure air circulation.
It is believed that Bedi Palace was built sometime in the late 19th century and harks back to the glory days of the Bedi family.
The four-storey building is decorated with colourful frescos and murals and built in the typical Sikh style of the colonial period. There is a central courtyard and the structure is supported by a network of pillars. There are plenty of balconies and windows and huge wooden gates greet visitors to this mansion.
The central courtyard with beautifully adorned pillars.
The walls and pillars in the central courtyard are decorated with a series of images including paintings of Sikh gurus, warriors, Hindu gods and goddesses. It is also believed that some of the images represent famous Muslim warriors of subcontinent as well. This religious ambiguity is what leads many locals to declare Baba Khem Singh a secular-minded man. But today, much like its original owner's inclusive ideas, Bedi Palace lies in ruins.
After partition, the building was used as a government school for boys, but a decade or so ago, the school was shifted to a new building, constructed in front of the palace.
The exterior of the four-storey Bedi Palace.
Khalid Qureshi, the school principal said "The palace is in a very dilapidated state and could not be used as a school. We were afraid that the structure would collapse, since many parts of the building are in a really bad state."
"We still use the main hall of the palace as an exam hall, but I'm nervous about doing it because the condition of the building is quite dire," he added. According to Mr Qureshi, the building should now be restored and preserved as a historic landmark of the region. "It can still be restored and preserved if the concerned authorities pay due attention," he said.

The alternative to dying could be epic
The final breath of a PC when she meets the cold edge of a blade, all those experience points slashed out of existence like her sloshing innards, is a frustrating time for any player who has put time into carving their character into their own intricate awesome vision.
If the player hasn't already thrust the dice across the room in rage and stormed out, they are either rolling up a new level one or pleading the GM to find a way to resurrect Mindy Bloodletter. Unfortunately, giving in to the player isn't fun and it fails to progress the story, but a friendship could be wire-thin at this time; so what to do?
It is possible to allow the player to keep their PC without totally bending time and space to the GM's whim, no matter how sumptuously fun that can be. It's not all that far-fetched in a world of fantasy that the player's soul has been sucked into a hell dimension where they will have to fight their way into the land oft he living or be caged for eternity in a molten chamber. The GM could set up a separate dungeon for the character, though it would have to be small as to not consume game time for other players, possibly with only one or two ferocious enemies to slay. Or perhaps a quicker way could be to pass a saving throw as a test of will, a success allowing the character to return to life with minimal health, and a fail denoting her fall into the dark oblivion forever. To make the test more fun, after a successful roll the GM could describe the epic fight against the swarming demons, the slaughter of devils and banshees and a description of the hellish domain the character escaped. This tale could serve to develop the character further as well as the story.

Shades of 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey' methinks! ;-)
Joshua Macy 21 April 2009 at 19:14
I figure to give the character a Con SR, with the SR level being however many points negative the hit took them. Succeed and they're stable, and can be brought back around after the battle if their friends survive or the enemies choose to. When they're revived, their Con is permanently reduced by however much negative they went. Fail, and they're just dead. Something like that anyway... My players aren't the type who would quit over losing a character, but it can be a hassle to bring a new character into the scenario, so I like to give them a chance to survive.

The "fight your way out of the lands of the dead" thing is especially easy to do, and lots of fun, in one-on-one games. The coolest thing about lands of the dead is they can be any damned crazy thing you want to come up with, from zombie fests to bizarre bureaucratic nightmares.
Saragon 21 April 2009 at 23:02
Remember the 'Death' card in the Deck of Many Things, and how (at least in the 3E version) you had to fight a wraith (sort of like fighting the Grim Reaper)?
Imagine if the defining characteristics of heroes in the world was that their soul was able to not only see, but even fight off whatever entities came for them when death was upon them. How that battle might be fought could vary according to whatever astral entity was attempting to claim their soul - a ravening demon might be a straightforward fight, but a sly devil might be willing to settle claims with a game of skill or chance and a stern angel might be convinced that a hero's deeds are not yet complete yet (or even that he's not yet worthy to enter Heaven.) Even the "mini-dungeon" you described above could be a result of one of these challenges. PCs would be able to outwit, cheat or overcome death in a very literal sense!
Of course, the strange spectral plane where these challenges take place would be an interesting location to explore. Do PCs end up in individual demiplanes shaped by their own personal Death? Do all these challenges coexist, and can two or more "dead" PCs break out of their own death scene and aid their compatriots? What else exists in this place?
In the brief moment after a PC wins their freedom, what can they see? Other newly dead souls being escorted or dragged to their afterlives? A flat, empty plane? Disjointed glimpses of the material plane? Perhaps even a brief glimpse of the divine realms, from the outside?
Anonymous 22 April 2009 at 00:41
The death of a PC is not the doom and gloom so many take it for. Try letting it stand sometime and see. It can make for great gaming.
Roger 22 April 2009 at 12:11
This is a good idea, in that it is also seen in Forgotten Realms books. Players like experiencing things that they read about. Imagine how much they are going to brag to their gaming buddies that they escaped death with their quick wit or their sword arm!
Another note, I'd knock off a permanent point of Constitution or something, as well, for characters that "die". Whatever the rules system you're using calls for...
AndreasDavour 22 April 2009 at 15:20
Necromancer Games actually made a product out of this idea. They called it Raise the Dead, and it gave some examples of cool quests to gain the life back for a fallen comrade. Very good food for though, I think.
Tom K. 24 April 2009 at 08:49
Killing is a tricky thing. I kill only in climaxes and try to frame it as a sacrifice not just failed rolling.
I say do a couple games around her the ghost, working in both the spirit realm and the other players. In the end though, the spirit must move on to the Beyond.
I always want death to be a factor, so my philosophy is to give hints about the danger, and when they go for it I will try to harm them.

One might argue that the whole point of massively multiplayer online role-playing games such as World of Warcraft is to avoid social interaction. Or at least, that's what the friends and relatives of most MMORPG gamers claim. But most WoW players know that one of the best features of the game is the in-game socializing with people from all over the world. From forming small 5-man parties to large 40-man raids, social interaction plays a key role in World of Warcraft. But the problem with interacting with a bunch of strangers is that you often run into annoying losers, and kind and nice players can be hard to find. Finding people you're compatible with can be harder still.
Enter Warcraft Social Network, a MySpace-like social-networking site made especially for World of Warcraft gamers. Warcraft Social is not affiliated in any way with Blizzard Entertainment or the official World of Warcraft game, and is instead the brainchild of a couple of passionate WoW gamers. Warcraft Social claims that players can use the site to share information with online friends and guild members, find people to play with on their server, or simply find out more about the person behind the character. Much like MySpace, you can enter a profile with your name, location, and interests. However, Warcraft Social also incorporates your WoW character information, such as the realm you play in and your character's name, race, class, professions, and chosen guild. As you can see from the screenshot, I entered a profile of my level 60 Night Elf priest into the network, and I can say that the process was very smooth and without much hassle. You can add Friends and guild members to your profile page, and people can leave comments for you on your page as well. The layout is definitely reminiscent of MySpace, and existing MySpace users will feel like they're in familiar territory. One of the nicer features about Warcraft Social is that you can't see a member's private information unless you log in, which could help stave off potential stalkers.
I was skeptical about the service at first, but now that I've played around with it, I can definitely see its potential value. This could be a way to finally avoid the annoying pickup group full of people who are simply incompatible with your play style. Warcraft Social also has a couple of upcoming features such as Guild Pages (so that your guild can easily create its own Web page without too much HTML know-how) and ALT support (for players who have multiple WoW characters). Of course, like most social-networking sites, this site will only be beneficial if more people use it. And whether that will happen anytime soon remains to be seen.

The Southbank Centre
The National Youth Orchestra for Indian Music presents an evening of uplifting and inspirational music with a wide ranging repertoire. Samyo's own distinctive genre is both recognisable and unfamiliar, as it breaks new ground with the work of contemporary composers, and performs adventurous arrangements based on a rich musical tradition.
Milapfest's annual showcase performance by Samyo illustrates the transitional journey that the orchestra takes each year, re-inventing and re-shaping the Indian music genre in an orchestral context. Following the 10th anniversary celebration in 2013, the orchestra has established a strong identity, defined by talented young musicians, an array of instruments including sitar, veena, flute, violin, tabla and mridangam.
Indian classical music is a solo, improvised tradition, but Samyo performs the work and arrangements of modern Indian composers, inspired by the best folk, popular and classical traditions of India; the young musicians of Samyo, born and raised in England, have helped to shape the only orchestra of its kind in the world.

The Innovation Institute
Our mission is to create conditions for growth in the Massachusetts innovation economy.
This segment of the state's economy and the ecosystem it supports transform research, knowledge, and know-how, via collaboration, into products, processes, services, and systems.
The Innovation Institute implements a unique model for the state to spur economic growth, working hand-in-hand with industry leaders, academic researchers, and policymakers. As an agent of the Commonwealth, the Innovation Institute uses this model to fuel economic growth, create wealth, and generate improvements in the region's standard of living.
Our unique, "fact-based" approach to economic development is a central tenet of how we approach our mission to support growth in the Commonwealth's innovation economy.
The Innovation Institute combines its investments with specialized direct services that involve the key stakeholders necessary for continuing success and follow-on public and private investment.
Our Purpose and Work
In 2003, aware of the national and global competition for the talent and innovation-intensive industry sectors vital for our state's prosperity, the Legislature established the John Adams Innovation Institute, known today as the Innovation Institute at MassTech. The Legislature defined its work in the following way:
The purpose of the institute shall be to serve as an agent of the Commonwealth to create and maintain a more favorable and responsive environment in the Commonwealth for the development, growth, attraction, and retention of technology-intensive and innovation-driven clusters of organizations, with a particular attention paid to promoting economic growth in discrete and underserved regions of the Commonwealth by harnessing local support and involvement in such economic development activities and by improving the economic infrastructure for such clusters. [Chapter 40J, Section 6A (a)]
Using an innovative, stakeholder-led process, we have been implementing this visionary "cluster development" approach to economic development. The Innovation Institute supports industry-led growth initiatives in the digital economy, including big data, digital gaming, mobile communications, e-commerce, robotics, marine sciences, advanced manufacturing, and more. Projects, initiatives, and strategic investments in key industry clusters throughout all regions of the Commonwealth are creating conditions for continued economic growth.
These efforts have involved over 1347 organizations, 78 higher education institutions, more than 350 Massachusetts companies and the participation of over 4,300 institutional, civic, and entrepreneurial leaders across the Commonwealth. We have made roughly 850 strategic investments totaling approximately $35 million, which have resulted in over $233 million of additional investment from federal, private, and civic sources for a 6:1 ratio.
Our work with entrepreneurs, researchers, and government and civic leaders throughout Massachusetts has helped the Innovation Institute develop a unique perspective on the strengths and challenges of different industrial sectors and regions across the state. Through active engagement in the field, we have developed an understanding of the strategic, effective role the Innovation Institute can play to enhance the innovation economy.
The Innovation Institute partners and invests with academic, research, business, government, and civic organizations which share the vision of enhancing the Commonwealth's innovation economy.
Our main target areas for partnership and investment include:
Organizing for Innovation
Innovation Capacity
Statewide Innovation Initiatives
Understanding the Massachusetts Innovation Economy

Philadelphia Black Mob: Five Teenage Girls Arrested For Smashing Student In the Face With A Brick
Janna Brock March 27, 2014
The media won't talk about it. A Temple University Student was attacked by a gang of black teenage girls, ranging in age from 14 to 17. This is the Philadelphia black mob at work. This time, the teenagers are using weapons like bricks in their random and senseless attacks. Not only did the group of teenage thugs attack the nineteen year old female student, but they were also responsible for another attack on a student on the same night. This all occurred on Friday, March 21st. The brutality of using a brick in an unprovoked attack is nearly impossible to fathom, but the most outrageous part of the entire incident is the media's cowardly disregard for relaying factual information. Why won't they say it was a mob of black teenage girls instead of pretending that that it wasn't? The reason is because for the media to call out Philadelphia black mob violence is racist. However, if it was a white mob, they wouldn't hesitate.
Five juveniles in Philadelphia have been taken into custody in connection the assault of a Temple University student with a brick on Friday evening.
The five girls, ages 14, 15 and 17, were arrested early on Tuesday afternoon after police released security camera footage of the gang who also punched two other students in separate incidents within a 20 minute time span.
They punched two students, and then proceeded to use a brick as a weapon against a 19-year-old Temple University student, whose name has not been released. The girl was walking with her boyfriend, who tried to fend off the ravenous gang of heathens. But he couldn't do anything to save his girlfriend from the merciless assault with a brick.
A brutal attack dislocated the teeth and fractured the jaw of a 19-year-old Temple University student, but the terrifying incident won't stop her from finishing her courses this semester.
"I'm definitely going to go back to class," said the victim, who asked not to be identified. "I don't want this to stop me from finishing classes."
The student was walking with her boyfriend near the intersection of 16th and Norris streets around 6 p.m. Friday when a group of about a dozen kids ranging in age from 8 to 14-years-old began taunting them, she said.
"I'm walking by and one of the people from the group screamed at me, really loud and really close to my face," she said. "I kept walking because I don't want to engage them. Then they start pulling at my hair and earrings."
Her boyfriend, a 20-year-old Temple student, asked them to back off, but the group refused to relent.
He couldn't save her from the attack. Who could know that one of the girls in the Philadelphia black mob of teen girls was wielding a brick? They used it to smash her face in and it is a miracle she did not die from the attack.
Police say one of the girls then struck the female student in the face with a brick while the other suspects tried to rob the student's boyfriend. The victim was left with dislocated teeth and a fractured jaw.
'My boyfriend pushed the girl away from me that hit me in the face and then the girl's sister came at me with a brick,' the victim toldWCAU.
'I tried to get away as fast as I could. My teeth were halfway out of my mouth. I wasn't thinking about anything besides getting to safety.'
She was hit twice in the face with the brick. She was rushed to the hospital and underwent hours of surgery to try to repair her fractured and battered mouth. Doctors did everything in their power to realign her teeth, not to mention saving her teeth. The damage was that severe.
'All of her teeth were pushed into the back of her mouth,' said her father. 'Her five top, front teeth were bent all the way back from the gum.'
She has since been released from care and is expected to recover, but has a long way to go.
'I've been eating my food through a straw,' she lamented.
It is truly impossible to imagine that a gang of girls could inflict this much suffering on another person. For absolutely no reason whatsoever. But before this attack, another student was attacked, and is claiming that police were nonchalant about the incident.
Another Temple University student has come forward claiming she was attacked by a group of young girls minutes before a brutal off-campus assault with a brick that forced a fellow co-ed into surgery.
The 20-year-old junior, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, tells NBC10.com she was text messaging a friend as she walked down her street, the 1700 block of Willington Street, around 5:45 p.m. on Friday when she was blindsided by a fist.
Minutes after, the woman said a Philadelphia Police officer knocked on her door asking if she was OK. A driver apparently witnessed the attack and flagged down an officer, the student said.
His attitude was very nonchalant and he was acting like it was no big deal," she said speaking about the officer inside the station.
The woman said the whole conversation happened from within the station's waiting room, which was full of people at the time, and that she didn't feel comfortable talking about all of the details regarding the assault in public.
"He said if it happened again to call 911. I didn't think to call 911 because I was at the station, I was four doors down," she said.
The co-ed was planning to let the situation go, until she heard about the unprovoked attack of two other Temple students only three blocks away, just 15 minutes after hers.
What if this second attack hadn't happened? There is every chance that these gang of girls would have never been caught. This is what is going on in major cities across the country, merciless attacks by black mobs. Where does it end? If the media does not have the gumption to call a spade a spade, we have no hope of ending this. The media is on a reign of terror by omission. Philadelphia black mob violence is but one city. Lives will never be the same after this attack. Hopefully the young woman who was smashed with a brick will regain what was lost to her.

ARY's Kashif Abbasi Banned from Appearing on TV
Raza Rizvi
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulation Authority (PEMRA) has banned renowned TV anchor Kashif Abbasi's program 'Off The Record' on ARY News for sixty days. The host is also banned from appearing at any television show as a host, guest, analyst or an expert.
The channel has also been strictly warned to comply with the orders, or it could face a ban or license revocation by PEMRA, said the notification issued on January 15.
SCO Gets IPTV License from PEMRA
The media watchdog swung into action a day after the Federal Minister for Water Sources, Faisal Vawda, brought an army boot to his show to thrash opposition parties especially the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) for supporting the Army Act Amendment Bill.
To conceal their corruption, PML-N's stance has always been of 'Vote Ko Izzat Do,' but, when the time came, they gave respect to the boot instead by lying down. From now on, I'll bring it to every program.
Taking action on the matter, PEMRA condemned Vawda's frivolous and derogatory remarks that demeaned a state institution. It also criticized the Abbasi for not intervening to stop the act.
PEMRA Retracts Notification About News Anchors in a Clarification Notice
The host rather took the entire incident casually and kept smiling/cherishing such occurrence.
Such an action is a clear violation of sections 3(I)(e,j), 4(7)(b), 4(10), 5, 13 and 17 of the Electronic Media (Programmes and Advertisements) Code of Conduct, 2015 read with Section 27(a) of the PEMRA Ordinance 2002.

Harry's Bar is, despite its name, mainly a restaurant located at Calle Vallaresso 1323, Venice, Italy, owned by Cipriani S.A..
Harry's Bar was opened in 1931 by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani (it). According to the company history, Harry Pickering—a rich, young Bostonian—had been frequenting Hotel Europa in Venice, where Giuseppe Cipriani was a bartender. When Pickering suddenly stopped coming to the hotel bar, Cipriani asked him why. When Pickering explained that he was broke because his family found out his drinking habits and cut him off financially, Cipriani lent him 10,000 lire (about $500 US [$7,839 in 2015 dollars]). Two years later, Pickering returned to the hotel bar, ordered a drink, and gave Cipriani 50,000 lire in return. "Mr. Cipriani, thank you," he said, according to the Cipriani website. "Here's the money. And to show you my appreciation, here's 40,000 more, enough to open a bar. We will call it Harry's Bar."
Harry's Bar has long been frequented by famous people, and it was a favourite of Ernest Hemingway. Other notable customers have included Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini, inventor Guglielmo Marconi, Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, James Stewart, Richard Halliburton, Truman Capote, Orson Welles, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Princess Aspasia of Greece, Aristotle Onassis, Barbara Hutton, Peggy Guggenheim, Tareq Salahi, George Clooney, The Mundy's and Woody Allen..
The bar was also briefly mentioned in the second and subsequent editions of Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited (in the first edition Waugh simply called the bar "the English bar") as a frequent haunt of principal characters Charles Ryder and Sebastian Flyte during their time in Venice.
Harry's Bar is home of the Bellini and Carpaccio.
Harry's Bar is also famous for its dry martini, which is served in a small glass without a stem. Their dry martinis are very dry, apparently with the ratio of 10 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. This is an adaptation of the Montgomery Martini, which is 15 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth. The Montgomery is named after British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, who liked to have a 15 to 1 ratio of his own troops against enemy troops on the battle field. Ernest Hemingway is said to be the first person to order a Montgomery at Harry's Bar.
Harry's Bar serves classic Italian dishes. Its prices are high (40,000 lire (€20) for a bowl of minestrone, in 2001).
Harry's Bar is today "the anchor to a global brand, positioned around the Cipriani name." In New York City, the Ciprianis run the restaurants Harry Cipriani, Cipriani 42nd Street, and DownTown, a travel company, and a catering company. Buenos Aires is home to three more outlets. In Venice, the Ciprianis also own Harry's Dolci. The Cipriani brand also includes lines of pastas, sauces, olive oils, coffee, books, and kitchenware.
In 2007 the Ciprianis pleaded guilty to tax evasion in the United States. In 2012, with debts of over €6m, the bar was sold to Luxembourg-based investment group Blue Skye.

70 years ago, [broccoli] contained twice the calcium, on average, and more than five times the amount of vitamin A. The same could be said for a lot of our fruits and vegetables.
Over the past two centuries, U.S. population growth and food production methods have stressed and degraded our dirt.  Our farming soil is not as alive* as it once was, and experts say that's a problem.
In the 1950s, farmers began using synthetic fertilizers.
Monocropping: Farmers began producing one or two crops, planted year after year, especially corn and soy.
Today, 25 million — 8 percent of Americans — are food insecure, meaning they are unable to consistently access or afford adequate food.
Back to the actionable part … The article talks about what farmers can do to improve soil health, for example not tilling fields and using cover crops. But in the mean time, we're eating foods that may contain fewer nutrients than these tables say they do.
What can we as consumers do?
This entry was posted in Uncategorized on July 11, 2018 by Bix.
We've known about soil depletion for quite a while. And it's been publicized (e.g., https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/25/treating-soil-like-dirt-fatal-mistake-human-life). Re people who lack access to decent (or any) non-junk food, perhaps one can donate actual food (canned, dried) to free-food banks–there are plenty of them, even in the "food deserts", at least in my general area. I also donate money to groups like Philabundance, and I've helped persuade some local food stores (e.g., Trader Joe's, Wolff's) to donate their food that's just past the sell-by date to Philabundance and similar groups, rather than just trashing it. Three, non-profit hospitals like Lankenau have built community gardens on their large property, with the produce available to any and all, not just the patients. Farm-to-school programs are another great idea but are being implemented by private donors/activists, as nothing like this will come from the current federal govt.
"What can we as consumers do?" A: Take vitamins? I'm only sort-of kidding. It may be cheaper and easier to just give everyone a mulitvitamin with the missing nutrients. I mean, that is why our milk and bread is already supplemented. Another example: there was a big push to genetically engineer rice with vitamin A until it was eventually realized that it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just hand out vitamin A supplements. I mean, its not "ideal" (where all of our food would be healthy and satisfying and completely nutritious) but it is practical.
I agree with you. Taking a multivitamin may not be ideal, but given these circumstances, it becomes an option.
It probably will become truly necessary, as I don't see how the soil-depletion problem can be solved, esp. with the current EPA and other govt agencies.
Something went wrong somewhere. It's now more like the Corporation Protection Agency, a 180 degree turnaround.

We'll host an optional strategy sharing day on February 25 , followed by our last session of the year on April 17 with Dr. Wynn and Joel Breakstone from the Stanford History Education Group.
The Smithsonian Museum of American History created a handy reference guide designed to highlight the benefits of using primary source materials in any classroom and to provide you, the teacher, with practical suggestions and examples of how to do this. It also includes a bibliography and links to other sites on the internet that feature primary source materials. Pretty sweet!
Teachinghistory.org is pleased to announce the availability of a new free poster about the Civil War. The poster features an engaging collage of primary sources and related questions that get students thinking about how we know what we know about the past. Teachers can also access an interactive version with links to teaching materials and websites related to the Civil War. View the poster and order copies online.

Q: How to search a specific variable in various type of array using generic method? I am trying to return a specific variable in various types of array, which i only can use generic method. However, when I try to do a search method, I keep getting this error. Is there anyone can give me some idea how do you fix it?
I am using drjava.
This is the calling statement:
 System.out.printf( "%nThe item returned from integerArray is: %s",
                      returnItem( integerArray,
                                  2 ) );

  System.out.printf( "%nThe item returned from doubleArray is: %s",
                      returnItem( doubleArray,
                                  2 ) );

  System.out.printf( "%nThe item returned from characterArray is: %s",
                      returnItem( characterArray,
                                  2 ) );

  System.out.printf( "%nThe item returned from petArray is: %s",
                      returnItem( petArray,
                                  2 ) );

This is my search method:
public static < T> int returnItem( T[ ] inputArray, int key ){

        // ERROR: incompatible types: T cannot be converted to int

    for ( int element : inputArray ){

        if( key == element ){

           return element;
       }
     }
       return -1;

} // end method returnItem

The item returned from integerArray is: 3
The item returned from integerArray is: 3.3
The item returned from integerArray is: L

A: @Noone, I will suggest you create a class with expected data type as parameter and arry time as argument in the construtor. Then your generic return item by key or return key by item can world.
If it is not too much. Consider my implementation below:
public final class SearchAnyArray<T> {

    T[] inputArray;

    public SearchAnyArray(final String[] stringArray) {
        inputArray = (T[]) stringArray;
    }

    public SearchAnyArray(final int[] integerPrimitives) {
        Integer[] ints = new Integer[integerPrimitives.length];
        for (int x = 0; x < integerPrimitives.length; x++) {
            ints[x] = integerPrimitives[x];
        }
        inputArray = (T[]) ints;
    }

    public SearchAnyArray(final double[] doublePrimitives) {
        Double[] doubles = new Double[doublePrimitives.length];
        for (int x = 0; x < doublePrimitives.length; x++) {
            doubles[x] = doublePrimitives[x];
        }
        inputArray = (T[]) doubles;
    }

    public SearchAnyArray(char[] charPrimitives) {
        Character[] chars = new Character[charPrimitives.length];
        for (int x = 0; x < charPrimitives.length; x++) {
            chars[x] = charPrimitives[x];
        }
        inputArray = (T[]) chars;
    }

    public int returnItemIndex(T key) {
        for (int x = 0; x < inputArray.length; x++) {
            if (inputArray[x].equals(key)) {
                return x;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }

    public T returnItem(int index) {
        if (index < 0 || index > (inputArray.length - 1)) {
            throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException("Invalid key ");
        }
        return inputArray[index];
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] a = {1, 4, 3, 9};
        double[] d = {1.0, 4.1, 3.3, 9.4};
        char[] c = "ALLOWEDforReal".toCharArray();
        String[] s = {"Any", "How", "Is", "a", "goal"};
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(a).returnItem(2));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(d).returnItem(2));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(c).returnItem(2));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(s).returnItem(2));

        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(a).returnItemIndex(3));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(d).returnItemIndex(3.3));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(c).returnItemIndex('L'));
        System.out.println(new SearchAnyArray<>(s).returnItemIndex("Is"));

    }
}```

Making Country Music Great again is just the kind of full time work Sean Burns and Grant Siemens have been looking for.
Two seasoned veterans of the road sharing a passion for traditional sounds with a contemporary delivery, the Duo joined forces in 2017.
Thus far, their efforts have taken them across the Prairies entertaining folks in Taverns, Bars, Honky-Tonks, and House Concerts.
Join this Country Music Duo as they do their part to keep the Waltz alive at your favourite local honky-tonk. You want a show? You got it.
"If you need me, I'll be in Wisconsin," sings Sean Burns, but he's just as likely to be found in Calgary or Ottawa, Tofino or Regina.Touring relentlessly from one end of Canada to the other and across the United States, Winnipeg-based singer/songwriter Sean Burns taps into the bittersweet spirit of the road and then spins it his way with a blend of electric and acoustic guitars and a soulful harmonica.
Sean's music will resonate with fans of Canadiana, Americana, Folk, Country and Blues alike. The songs, which hint at such influences as Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash, capture the grittiness of the road in the stark, down-to-earth style of an authentic storyteller.
Burns is touring in support of his new CD "Lost Country: Music for Taverns bars and honky Tonks." He will be joined by a hot band including Grant Siemens, Joanna Miller, Bernie Thiessen and special guest Skinny Dyck.

Q: How to restructure output of a keras layer? I want to reconstruct the output shape of my Input layer, in a way that for example if it is (None, 42), I start from 1st neuron and take 1st to 7th, then slide a neuron to right and take 2nd to 8th and so on. in this way output layer would be the shape (None, 36, 7).
I am using keras.layers.Lambda() layer to do that but it is not working properly and dimensions are not what i expect. the code i wrote is as follow:
Inpt_lyr = keras.Input(shape = (42,))
for k in range(42 - 7 + 1):
    F = keras.layers.Lambda(lambda x, i, j: x[:,j : j + i])
    F.arguments ={ 'i' : 7, 'j' : k}
    tmp_rfrm = F(Inpt_lyr)
    lst_rfrm.append(tmp_rfrm)
cnctnt_lyr = keras.layers.merge.Concatenate(axis = 0)(lst_rfrm)
tmp_dns = keras.layers.Dense(3 , activation = 'softmax')(cnctnt_lyr)
tmp_model = Model(Inpt_lyr, tmp_dns)
tmp_model.compile(loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', optimizer = 'adam')
tmp_model.summary()

I expect conct_lyr have the shape (None, 36, 7), but it is (None,7)
and it also give the error
ValueError: Graph disconnected: cannot obtain value for tensor Tensor("input_3:0", shape=(?, 42), dtype=float32) at layer "input_3". The following previous layers were accessed without issue: ['input_4']

A: Your approach looks sensible to me, but the tensors are currently being concatenated along the batch axis, which is undesirable in this case.
I would suggest expanding dimension 1 while sliding the windows:
for k in range(42 - 7 + 1):
    F = keras.layers.Lambda(lambda x, i, j: x[:, None, j: j + i])
    # F(Inpt_lyr).shape=(?, 1, 7)

and then concatenate the tensors along the expanded axis:
cnctnt_lyr = keras.layers.merge.Concatenate(axis=1)(lst_rfrm)
# cnctnt_lyr.shape=(?, 36, 7)

Al-Qaeda's leader in Syria killed as graphic picture of body shows bloody head wound
24 Ottobre 2015 By Redazione Islamedianalysis
The leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria has been killed during fighting in the city of Aleppo.
Graphic images of Sheikh Abu Sulaiman Al Masri's body, with a bloody head wound, have been shared online.
His death has apparently been confirmed by Sunni Islamic jihadist militants the al-Nusra Front – his wing of Al-Qaeda within Syria.
It is not yet clear how exactly he died, although it is believed he was killed by Syrian and Russian armed forces.
Al-Masri's death will be considered a huge blow to the terror group, which is considered the second largest jihadist organisation in the country next to Islamic State.
At least 28 ISIS fighters and 21 Syrian troops have died so far in the battle, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Since the beginning of October, Russia has focused its aerial bombardment on north-western Syria , embarking upon on a targeted campaign to quash opposition to al-Assad, who visited president Putin in Moscow this week.
Khaled Almilaji, the country director of Medical Relief in Syria hit out at this latest round of attacks on the town of Sarmin which has been heavily shelled over the past two years.
He said: "The whole world has to be just as angry as they were with what happened in Afghanistan.
"Their anger must not just be directed at Bashar, who has been inhuman with us, but also at the Russians , who are just as bad, but more accurate in their targeting."
On Tuesday, 13 people were killed when a bomb, believed to be Russian, ripped through a field hospital in Sarmin.

Q: POST request returning index.html body instead of appropriate response I've been working on a web app where all the post requests work fine when the frontend is hosted locally through a proxy to the backend, which is hosted on heroku. However when deploying the frontend (on firebase) the requests still return successfully, but instead of {success: true} it returns the index.html file from the build directory, and does perform any actions on the database.
Relevant code on heroku:
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'build')));
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", '*');
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", true);
  res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS');
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", 'Origin,X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Accept,content-type,application/json');
  next();
});

app.post('/updateBoard', async (req, res) => {
  const { board_id, itemName, color, index, gameInfo } = req.body;
  await functions.updateBoard(board_id, itemName, color, index, gameInfo)
  res.send({ success: true })
})

app.get('*', function (req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`App listening on port ${port}!`));

Respective frontend function:
const updateBoardData = async (
    board_id,
    itemName,
    color,
    index,
    gameInfo
  ) => {
    var res = await fetch("/updateBoard", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        board_id: board_id,
        itemName: itemName,
        color: color,
        index: index,
        gameInfo: gameInfo,
      }),
    });
    console.log(res);
  };

Output from deployed:
<!doctype html><html lang="en"><head> ... </html>
Output from localhost:
{"success":true}

A: Ok, I managed to solve this issue by making the route in the fetch to be nameofproject.herokuapp.com/updateBoard since apparently the proxy did not work once the app was deployed.

La Hafthohlladung era una bomba a mano anticarro a carica cava tedesca, impiegata durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

Storia
La Hafthohlladung o solo HH venne adottata dalla Wehrmacht nel novembre 1942. Venne realizzata in due versioni di peso e differenti, la HH 3 e la HH 3.5. La bomba poteva penetrare 140 mm di acciaio omogeneo o 500 mm di cemento armato. Dichiarata obsoleta nel maggio 1944, la sua produzione venne interrotta in favore del Panzerfaust, ma gli stock esistenti vennero usati fino ad esaurimento.

Impiego operativo
La bomba veniva assegnata primariamente alle squadre anticarro. I fanti, grazie ai magneti presenti sul fondo della bomba, la attaccavano direttamente alla corazza in acciaio dei carri armati prima di armare la spoletta tirando il tappo all'apice del corpo bomba. Poiché la bomba aderiva perpendicolarmente alla superficie della corazza, il grado di inclinazione delle piastre era ininfluente sulla capacità di penetrazione dell'arma. Tuttavia la tecnica di impiego era particolarmente pericolosa ed esponeva i fanti al fuoco nemico.

Tecnica
Il corpo bomba in lamiera d'acciaio, a forma di imbuto rovesciato, era alto 27,2 cm e largo 15 ed era fissato ad un piatto triangolare di bachelite, munito alla base di tre magneti per aderire alle corazze dei carri. Il collo del corpo bomba fungeva da manico e conteneva il detonatore e, alla sua sommità, la spoletta. La parte inferiore del corpo bomba, a forma di bulbo o troncoconica, conteneva la carica cava, con cono di 60°. La base del corpo bomba era fissata da 6 bulloni ad un piatto di bachelite. Il piatto portava inferiormente tre magneti a forma di ferro di cavallo.

La spoletta a strappo con acciarino a frizione, con ritardo pirotecnico, era avvitata sulla sommità della testa e collegata ad un detonatore. Il ritardo di 4,5 secondi delle versioni iniziali fu portato a 7,5 secondi in maggio 1943. Un tappo in materiale plastico era avvitato sulla spoletta e collegato al cavetto a strappo, in modo che svitandolo e tirandolo si innescava l'acciarino.

HH 3
La versione HH 3 si distingueva dalla parte inferiore del corpo bomba a forma di tronco di cono; la carica cava era formata da 1,5 kg di esplosivo PENT. L'ordigno pesava circa 3 kg. La spoletta era una Brennzünder 24 con ritardo di 4,5 secondi, riconoscibile dal tappo bluastro, poi portato a 7 secondi, con tappo giallo.

HH 3.5
La versione HH 3.5 aveva la parte inferiore del corpo bomba a forma di bulbo e pesava 3,5 kg. La carica esplosiva era costituita da 1,7 kg di amatolo. La spoletta era del modello Brennzünder für Eihandgranate 39 (BZE 39) con tappo giallo, indicante un ritardo di 7,5 secondi.

Q: How do I use Bioconductor and sangerseqR in R? I want to use sangerseqR for .ab1 files.
Searching for how to use it in R,
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

gives me a error message.
Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
   cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
   unable to connect to 'bioconductor.org' on port 80

Is it compatible only with certain versions of R ? Or do I need to have some other packages installed before I can run Bioconductor ?
