Антисемітські вигадки, вутки або міфи — це «сенсаційні повідомлення, спотворення чи вигадки », які є наклепницькими щодо юдаїзму як релігії або євреїв як етнічної чи релігійної групи. Починаючи з середньовіччя, такі повідомлення були постійною мотивацією ширших антисемітських теорій змови.

Деякі антисемітські образи чи фальшиві звинувачення сягають часів народження християнства, як-от твердження про те, що євреї спільно відповідальні за розп'яття Ісуса. У середньовічній Європі масштаб антисемітських тропів розширився і став основою для регулярних переслідувань і формальних вигнань євреїв в Англії, Франції, Німеччині, Іспанії та Португалії. У ті часи поширеною була думка, що євреї викликали такі епідемії, як Чорна смерть, отруюючи колодязі. Євреїв також звинувачували в ритуальному вживанні крові християн.

Починаючи з 19 століття, вперше з'явилася думка, що євреї планували встановити контроль над світом і панувати над ним, пропагуючи капіталізм і займаючись банківською та фінансовою діяльністю. У 20-му столітті інші антисемітські тропи стверджували , що євреї несуть відповідальність за поширення комунізму та намагаються домінувати в ЗМІ. Ці антисемітські тропи, які мали політичний та економічний контекст, стали політичними міфами, центральними для світогляду Адольфа Гітлера, і зберігаються до наших днів.

Заперечення Голокосту також вважається антисемітською теорією змови через її позицію, що Голокост був обманом або спотворенням і був розроблений для просування інтересів євреїв та/або виправдання створення Держави Ізраїль.

Економічні та політичні тропи

Світове панування
Публікація «Протоколів сіонських мудреців» у 1903 році зазвичай вважається початком сучасної літератури про теорію змови.

Цей троп часто проявляється як у писаннях, так і в графічних зображеннях, які намагаються звинуватити євреїв (або їхніх прихильників) у спробах контролювати світ за допомогою підлих засобів. Приклади таких зображень включають нацистські карикатури, які зображують євреїв у вигляді восьминогів, що оточують земну кулю. Більш свіжим прикладом є передрук у 2001 році в Єгипті антисемітського тексту Генрі Форда «Міжнародний єврей» із тим самим зображенням восьминога на передній обкладинці.

Серед найперших спростувань «Протоколів» як підробки була серія статей, надрукованих у лондонській «Таймс» у 1921 році. Ця серія показала, що велика частина матеріалу в «Протоколах » була плагіатом із «Діалогу в пеклі між Макіавеллі та Монтеск'є», попередньої політичної сатири, яка не мала антисемітської теми. Починаючи з 1903 року, коли «Протоколи » вперше були надруковані, їх перші видавці надавали розпливчасті й часто суперечливі свідчення, в яких докладно пояснювалося, як вони отримали свої копії оригінального рукопису, про який ходять чутки.

Текст популяризували прихильники царського режиму. Такі прихильники, намагаючись дискредитувати більшовицький рух, який прийшов на зміну їхньому режиму, стверджували, що євреї були змовниками російської революції та утримували владу в більшовицькому режимі, що пізніше підхопили нацисти. У протоколах робиться помилковий висновок, що комунізм був сфабрикований євреями з метою розпалювання політичної революції для дестабілізації суспільства, зрештою отримання контролю та встановлення репресивної транснаціональної політичної системи серед хаосу. Визначаючи євреїв як центральну потураючу силу, протоколи розвивали та популяризували теорію єврейського панування заради збереження монархічних систем, звинувачуючи євреїв у спробі підірвати християнство. Таким чином антисемітський троп світового панування став зброєю в давній тенденції використовувати євреїв як цапів відпущення, перетворивши це на теорію змови. Цей характерний вид єврейського цапа відпущення намагався звільнити занепокоєння через нестабільність і політичні зміни в суспільстві — особливо розрив, який загрожував групам і урядам, які історично перебували при владі та перебували в більшості — шляхом розгляду соціальних змін як інтриги євреїв, які прагнуть підірвати статус кво.

Ці звинувачення швидко поширилися на Захід з 1920 року. Велика депресія та піднесення нацизму були важливими подіями в історії «Протоколів», і містифікацію продовжували публікувати та поширювати, незважаючи на її розвінчання. Незважаючи на те, що численні незалежні розслідування неодноразово доводили, що «Протоколи » є плагіатом і літературною підробкою, містифікація все ще часто цитується та передруковується антисемітами, а іноді використовується як доказ нібито єврейської кабали антисемітськими групами в Сполучених Штатах. і на Близькому Сході.

Нацистські пропагандисти, звинувачуючи «міжнародне єврейство» у змові та продовженні Другої світової війни через його нібито контроль над урядами союзників, погрожували знищити євреїв як виправдану відплату.

Ще одна змова про світове панування має назву Сіоністський окупаційний уряд (ZOG) та інші назви, і вона стверджує, що євреї таємно контролюють уряди західних держав. Вираз використовується групами білих расистів, білих націоналістів, ультраправих, нативістів, чорних націоналістів або антисемітських груп у Сполучених Штатах і Європа, а також ультранаціоналісти, такі як «Свобода» в Україні.

Taking It to the Streets: How Street Medicine Detroit Offers Health Care to Those in Need
Guest Contributors: Andrew Wayne and Anirudha Rathnam
Established in 2012, Street Medicine Detroit (SMD) is a collaborative effort between health-care professionals, homeless-outreach workers, and student volunteers geared toward providing health-care services to Detroit's homeless population. SMD was founded by medical student Jonathan Wong and is modeled after the Street Medicine paradigm pioneered in the 1990s by Dr. James Withers of Pittsburgh. Medical student volunteers take part in weekly "street runs" by teaming up with members of Neighborhood Service Organization (NSO) Homeless Recovery Services unit, including nurse practitioner Dean Carpenter, to provide medical services to individuals in shelters, at soup kitchens, or on the streets of Detroit.
Too many people in Detroit are experiencing homelessness; the 2011 Homeless Management Information System reported that over 19,000 people are experiencing homelessness in Detroit, including 1,729 veterans and 5,126 people who met the criteria for chronic homelessness. These individuals face numerous barriers to accessing health care, which SMD minimizes by targeting care directly to those on the streets and in shelters. Through extensive partnerships, SMD not only provides medical screenings and treatments, but also strives to facilitate health insurance enrollment, health services referrals, and through an integrated care model, relies on homeless recovery service programs such as NSO's The Road Home to secure permanent supportive housing for its patients.
SMD is an effective organization that has developed quickly thanks to its ambitious leadership, experienced community partners, and enthusiastic volunteers. To date, SMD has conducted approximately 97 street runs, including 373 total patient encounters, 60 of which were follow-ups.
Many success stories have resulted from the combined work of SMD and its community partners. For instance, Mr. Mason (name changed for confidentiality) was a veteran living at the St. John shelter who first presented to SMD in December 2012 with symptoms of a cold. Upon taking a detailed history, SMD volunteers learned that he also suffered from type-2 diabetes and had run out of medication months before. During the street run, volunteers refilled Mr. Mason's medication and suggested a visit to NSO for further medical testing. During a follow-up visit during a street run the next month, volunteers were happy to see that Mr. Mason was managing his diabetes well: he had stopped drinking soda and was watching his diet, and the medication was further reducing his blood sugar. However, he had run out of anxiety medication and was experiencing panic attacks. This time, SMD referred him to a psychiatrist for treatment. Since then, Mr. Mason has regularly met with peer support specialists and social workers with NSO's The Road Home to secure housing. He is now receiving comprehensive medical care at the VA Medical Center and notes that his early visits with SMD helped him to take back control of his life.
In addition to the work mentioned above, educating patients is one of SMD's primary goals. Volunteers do this weekly as part of their street runs, and now SMD will be providing general health tips and advice as part of a recurring column in Thrive: Detroit. Stay tuned for our future articles featuring general health care tips, advice on navigating the health care system, and SMD updates, including locations of our future street runs.

Q: Can auto transfer data from memcached to mysql DB? I'm building a real-time service so my real-time database need to storage in memcached before fetch to DB (Avoid to read/write mysql db too much). I want to fetch data to mysql DB when some events occur , etc : before data expire or have least-recently-used (LRU) data. What is solution for my problem ? My system used memcached , mysql ,django and python-memcache
Thank

A: Memcached is not a persistent store, so if you need your data to be durable at all then you will need to store them in a persistent store immediately.
So you need to put them somewhere - possibly a MySQL table - as soon as the data arrive, and make sure they are fsync'd to disc. Storing them in memcached as well only speeds up access, so it is a nice to have.
Memcached can discard any objects at any time for any reason, not just when they expire.

If the Gen 7 comes out in 2021, it'll coincide perfectly with the 50th anniversary of the Vega. I think we need another tribute scheme to commemorate this milestone.
Hopefully I'll be dead before the 50th anniversary of the Aztec.
I'm with @gnomesayin on this... say "No" to BoP. It would be a perpetual clusterf**k that would be 10 X worse than anything we see in sportscar racing (which is plenty bad IMO). "My 4-cylinder Honda needs more turbo boost to be competitive with the Corvettes." No thank you!
Well, like it or not, IF NASCAR does move back to production based engines, the engines combinations are going to be VASTLY different from each other and the ONLY way it would work is with some serious BoP adjustments. I think it's easier to get the engines on par between manufacturers than the aerodynamics might be if they go back to more production based bodies. .
I see no good reason to do either... production engines, production bodies, or production chassis. I've always said "No thanks!" to people suggesting that top-level racing should be showroom stock racing. Like virtually every other top-level racing series, Nascar Cup racing should be single-purpose vehicles designed and engineered to race. I've seen no evidence, facts, or persuasive logic to change my mind on that.
Spotter22, aunty dive, Bobw and 2 others like this.
Well, the decline in interest in the sport may indicate that a lot of people no longer see the relevance of the current car. The bodies of the cars are cartoonish facsimiles of production cars and the engines are more expensive and more powerful than what is needed. Like so many other things in the sport's history that have gone away, I think the current car has outlived its usefulness and it's just time to move on.
Old 97, kk5fan and LouieLouie like this.
a point to make is that I think the manufacturers do. The Ford bunch has said they want a chance to make the Mustang more realistic than it already is. There are plenty of examples they are racing in other series of the Mustang in racing trim. But these guys are the same ones who thought a real plastic grill was a good idea to start out with on the gen 6 car until they continued to get their tails beat at the track. I agree in part with what Lew is saying, these cars live at 180 so screwing up the aero a lot is going to screw things up pretty badly for some if they think that is the way to go. A realistic looking car in last place won't be around long. Ford seemed to have learned their lesson with the Mustang though, fast right out of the box so far.
Old 97, LouieLouie, Seedy and 3 others like this.
From what I've read, there's no indication the engine formula will be wildly different. Probably something smaller, with some production elements. But something along the lines of a 5.0L V8. A lot of what they (at least Ford) are looking for is some more changes to the styling cues (more of a fastback shape) and suspension stuff (IRS).
No it really isn't, and I wouldn't think cup participation would be either. It brings up a question though. Does Nascar require manufacturers to enter all three series? Got me.
They didn't with Toyota. WE were in the Truck series before WE committed to Xfinity and Cup. I am sure that there was a handshake agreement upon truck entry, but you have to remember that Toyota had to gauge interest (uh resentment) before committing. I could listen to Lee White tell the story of meeting with Bill France Jr. to seal the deal on Xfinity and Cup a million times, and never get bored.
Ford seemed to have learned their lesson with the Mustang though, fast right out of the box so far.
Chevy won Daytona last year.
I may be in the minority but I don't want 6 or 7 manufacturers. I'd be ok with adding one more, but as long as Chevy, Ford, and Toyota remain all in and don't cut back, what's really the point? It's not like the field can grown by a whole lot. This would basically become a low-end IMSA series if we get to 6 or 7.
Also, if they start track testing that soon, perhaps we might get some leaked photos? I just hope they don't rush it in order to meet the 2021 mark. Take the time to get it right. As long as the wait pays off, that's what truly matters.
I don't care how many come, but if they come, they need to stay and commit. Period. NASCAR needs to be careful here. If you make it easy to enter, you make it easy to leave IMO.
I want to "Like" this a million times. Bingo.
Well, I don't know how you would get production elements on engines that have ZERO connection to production engines, not a single part. Of the makes, only GM produces an engine even REMOTELY like a NASCAR engine, and it would STILL be a stretch to call them similar. None of the other manufacturers that could potentially join NASCAR have a engine even remotely close to a NASCAR engine either. As late as 2006, I could have taken numerous parts off a Chevy SB2 NASCAR engine and physically bolted them to the engine in my Chevelle. The current Chevy NASCAR engine might as well be from outer space.
At Daytona it really doesn't matter what your racing. It looks like the biggest line of any manufacturer has the advantage. last lap it is all about who is fighting with who.
I don't know about that. We have heard so much about Ford horsepower, but I will say that those races cannot be an evaluation of a car....and this was my point. Mr. @StandOnIt was making the point that the Mustang was off to a good start, and my point was that the Camaro won Daytona in '18, and then look what happened.
there were the duals before that and and they had speed at the Vegas test. Like I said, they are off to a good start with the new car.
Ford knew what they were doing. There's a reason the thing looks so similar to the Fusion.
Dr_B_UNC and StandOnIt like this.
Yeah, the Fusion was hated until OSS. Oh my, how quickly perceptions change.
LewTheShoe, JBone88 and Charlie Spencer like this.
Well, Kez himself cites it as Ford's savior after the "Rude Awakening."
Oh I thought it was the "about time"
I'm good with that. Nineteen wins later, and a Manufacturers Championship, I'd say Ford's time is up.
I wouldn't draw any conclusions about ANY car one way or another until at least 6-7 races go by, and then you throw in the wildcard of the new aero package. I don't think anyone is REALLY sure of what they have right now.
Define 'commit'. Five years? Ten? How do you enforce it?
Dr_B_UNC, LewTheShoe, JBone88 and 2 others like this.
I can't see any business (team/s) working with manufacturers going into this without 5 year and 10 year milestone plans, not just for the iterative process of building on their own successes/failures out of the gate, but also for spreading capital improvements and other initial expenditures across multiple years for that business. Savvy Accountants and Lawyers are more the experts for success before any manufacturer engineers and race entrepreneurs can push their race teams into the money pit.
BUT, those same savvy accountants and lawyers will have an exit strategy for these manufacturers and teams as well.
The fact that NASCAR exists because of stock cars used to bootleg booze isn't evidence enough?
"Single-purpose vehicles designed and engineered to race" is what F1 is. They have the best engineering teams in the world. The problem is that they might as well be fighter planes because the racing is a boring parade. NASCAR never used to have engineers until Kulwicki got involved.
The only reason we have gotten away from production based bodies, engines, chassis, is for safety reasons or BoP reasons. I certainly don't want to sacrifice the amazing safety that cup cars have today, but I believe that we have strayed so far away from the production body that people have lost interest.
I've said this many times before, no one wants to watch precision stock car racing. The purpose of using a stock car is because they could win on sunday and sell on monday. Since all the cars are basically the same now, there isn't even a hint of this phrase being applicable to NASCAR and that is truly what is killing NASCAR. That, and the fact that the cars can no longer lean on each other.
Dodge's last run was 12 years, '01 to '12. That looks like commitment to me.
As you noted, nobody would get in for two or three years anyway. The start-up costs are too high to justify participating for that short a period. It's a lot easier to come and go in other series with a lower development price tag. I don't see lack of commitment being an issue.
"Single-purpose vehicles designed and engineered to race" is what F1 is.
That was my thought. With 'single-purpose racing machines', where do we draw the line? When do we say the 'stock cars' we're racing no longer have enough in common with the stock cars being sold? Some features of the race cars are way ahead of what's on the street, and others are way behind.
I'd say there's too much difference already. Is this a stock car series or not? Maybe 'Win on Sunday, sell on Monday' doesn't matter when people can't buy what won anyway. Does even the most casual fan think these are Camaros and Camrys and Mustangs? If the goal is to boost manufacturer visibility, why hang model names on them at all?
Just got word that NASCAR will introduce an 18" wheel for the Gen 7 model. Compared to the 15" wheels run now.
Source or 'Tongue out' emoji, please.
I just hope if they change the wheel size, we can get away from those God awful looking black painted wheels. I don't understand why ANYBODY runs those ugly things. If NASCAR wants to make the cars look more relevant, it would be a great time to go with some nice alloy wheels.
I assume cost has something to do with it. They're only going to look good for a few laps after they're new, before the brake dust accumulates. The painted wheels Penske uses are usually flashy enough for me. But I mostly don't look at wheels anyway, so I probably don't know what I'm missing.
The wheels Penske runs for the most part are a VAST improvement over the black ones, but isn't it time to move on from steel wheels, at least in the Cup series? Only the crappiest base model street cars are still available with them. As for me, wheels are one of the FIRST things I notice about a car.
Only the crappiest base model street cars are still available with them.
More evidence I'm not a car guy. I just assumed all wheels on street cars came as steel with hubcaps from the factory, and all alloy were after-market. I obviously don't even know what I'm seeing, even on those rare occasions when I happen to look.
What are allow wheels made of? What metals are combined?
Penske dumped Dodge because they would not sign a new 1 year contract. Ford gave it to him and look now they have Penske and SHR as their main teams. Best decision Ford made in the last 20 years.

So, the concept of a VLAN is basically to reduce congestion, to be able to control traffic by segmenting it and managing it. But it gives us some additional value, not just performance, not just traffic congestion management, but also security and the ability to manage who is able to access the debt. And so, when we segment, we get the ability to be able to create this VLAN. The advantages as we said, could be performance based, it could be greater flexibility, ease of partitioning resources and managing them, and also this idea of grouping resources together, are all advantages that we've discussed that could be ascribed to the VLAN. Implementing VLANs, pretty straightforward as we said. We create the VLAN ID, we associate the VLAN ID with the traffic that we want to do, we go to the switch rather that we want to use and the VLAN, I should say. We actually create VLANs at the switch, so we go to the switch, remember the switch layer to device. We're going to have a management interface of some kind, connectivity through a web interface, perhaps directly connect and open up a console through shell. We're going to be able to program effectively in the VLAN on the switch by defining a set of ports at the switch that have the criteria for VLAN membership associated with them. The main criteria is going to be the VLAN ID. So, these ports let's say ports one, two, three, four, and five, first five ports on switch, are going to be part of VLAN 27. That's just VLAN ID I chose, no significant to it, just the number. So, we're going to say VLAN 27. So, when we go into the management playing the console on the switch, we're going to program in some stuff and group those five ports together and make those five ports a block that equates to the VLAN ID 27. Any traffic that is going to move through the switch, any machine that is plugged in to the port or ports associated with the VLAN is automatically going to be part of that VLAN, and all their traffic will be tagged with that VLAN ID. So in theory, if we wanted to just draw a little picture here pretty quickly, because you know how much I love to draw. So, if we do that, we could just simply do the following. Let's first draw what looks like the switch here. And, just draw some ports on the switch, we'll just use a different color for that just to let it easier to see what they are. And so, if we go in here and we say we'll keep it simple we're all going to use three ports here or four ports rather because, I don't know if I could draw many more than that that would actually show up and be good. So, let's create. You see what I'm talking about. They're already starting to get a little crazy. So, let's say we've got four ports on the switch, right? And if we say that we're in a group together, using a VLAN ID, let's say and we'll just do VLAN ID one, because it's easy for me to make. We say that these three ports are going to be part of VLAN ID or VLAN one. Actually let's make it VLAN 11. So, for the part of VLAN 11 then those three ports are going to be representing VLAN 11. We'll just do VLAN here and we'll say VLAN 11, and that's going to be that. Southern port over here not part of the VLAN. And so as a result, if I connect up several machines to the ports on the switch, these machines are all going to be part of VLAN 11. Any the traffic center received by them is going to be seen by the members of the VLAN in VLAN 11. This other machine sitting over here while it is going to be connected to the switch is going to be connected to a port that is not in the VLAN, and so traffic sent and received by it is not going to be seen or interacted with and exposed to the VLAN ID 11 individuals because the VLAN ID traffic is separate. Right? It's segmented. So, the traffic in the VLAN is not going to be exposed to this other guy in purple sitting outside over here. This is the value of the VLAN by connecting the members of the VLAN up to the ports that have been linked to the VLAN through the programming on the switch, we're able to create the VLAN, and this is actually how we do that. So, what we would consider a port based VLAN that we implement on the switch. So, which I want to make sure we're aware of that. We're aware of how that works because it's really not much more complicated than that. Now we may have a software interface on the switch that as we said could be web based or a console, may allow us just to go right in and through a graphical interface, do what I just did and may be a command shell that we have to create the VLAN out of by programming it from the command line. Depends on the switch depends on the nature of the technology and how we're setting it up. But that's basically what you would do to set up the VLAN. Now, when we associate the information with the VLAN, we effectively associate the machines rather by plugging them in, we are tagging all the traffic that goes through the ports on the VLAN to associate it. So, VLAN tagging is something we just want to have a little discussion about. You can see on the screen in front of us here, we've got a little item that tells us how VLAN tagging is going to work. We insert some information into the header of the ethernet packet that allows us to understand what the VLAN ID will be among some other things that we have to know as well. Part of that information as you see is going to be known as a tag protocol identifier. It's called the TPID which is set to a specific value that allows us to then specify, okay this is going to be the tag frame. And then there's a tag control information item, what's called a TCI, that has some very specific stuff in it that effectively tells us how to configure and set up and be associated with the VLAN. You could see we have what's known as a user priority code point that sets the priority values from somewhere between zero to seven which can then be used for doing what's called QoSing, quality of servicing our traffic. Meaning, we can prioritize using the numerical code from zero to seven, how we want this traffic managed. If we said in this PCP, this priority code point, a QoS value of six, that traffic is going to be delivered and managed differently than a piece of traffic that has a priority code of two. Because obviously one is going to be more important than the other based on the ranking and the numerical equivalency of the rankings and as a result, we're gonna say that one piece of traffic will get priority, and will be delivered quicker than the other if there is a conflict or contention and we have limited bandwidth or limited resources. So, we can prioritize which traffic goes before or after which. This may be important in the VLAN if we're using VOIP, voice over IP technology, where we may have to prioritize voice over data traffic in order to move it through the network efficiently. So, this could be one reason why we may do this.

Q: Relationship between root locus pole and percent overshoot and gain in MATLAB I have a peculiar confusion regarding the relationship between a closed-loop pole on a root locus plot and its gain and percent overshoot.
I have found a point on the root locus plot that MATLAB claims to have a percentage overshoot of 5%:

using the following code:
    s = tf('s');
    gproc = ((s+3)*(s+6))/(s^2*(s+2));
    rlocus(gproc); % plot root locus

However, when I plot the step response, the percent overshoot seems to be 22%:

using the following code:
    gopen = 13.71*gproc;
    step(feedback(gopen,1));

What is the reason for this discrepancy? Have I misunderstood the MATLAB code?

A: From the root locus, the dominant closed loop pole will be the real pole between \$\small s=-2\$ and \$\small s=-3\$, since it's approximately three times further from the origin than the 2nd order complex poles.
Now, there's also a closed loop zero at \$\small s=-3\$, so you have a closed pole and a closed loop zero quite close together. In control engineering, this is called a dipole.
Note, a dipole is often created when attempting to cancel a troublesome, perhaps slow, pole by plonking a zero on top of it - in practice, there's always an error between the pole and zero values, hence a dipole is born. Essentially, that's what you've done here - by choosing the value of \$\small K=13.7\$, the first order pole is dominant. Choosing a smaller value for \$\small K\$ would have given dominance to the 2nd order roots, which would then make the system more oscillatory. But there's a limit to what can be done when there's only one control parameter (\$\small K\$) to play with.
The features of a dipole in the transient response are: a relatively large initial overshoot, and a long-tail (i.e. the settling time is longer than that promised by the initial response characteristic) . Both of these are apparent in your step response plot.

A: In the root locus plot, MATLAB computes the percentage overshoot according to the lines of constant damping ratio (ζ). The problem is that the damping ratio only makes sense for a second order system and the transfer function used (gproc) is not a second-order system since it has 2 zeros and 3 poles.


Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana and previously known as British Guiana, is a state on the northern coast of South America that is culturally part of the Anglophone Caribbean. Guyana has been a former colony of the British, Dutch, French and for 200 years the Spanish. It is the only state of the Commonwealth of Nations on mainland South America, and is also a member of the Caribbean countries and also members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), which has its secretariat headquarters in Guyana's capital, Georgetown. Guyana achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 26 May 1966 and became a Republic on 23 February 1970.
Democratic Republic of the Congo,formerly Zaire, is a nation located in Central Africa, with a short Atlantic coastline (37 km). It is the third largest country in Africa by area after Sudan and Algeria and the 12th largest in the world. The Democratic Republic of the Congo – with its population of nearly 71 million, – is the eighteenth most populous nation in the world, and the fourth most populous nation in Africa, as well as the most populous officially Francophone country.


Students in culinary 2, always look forward to cupcake wars every year. The class is split up into 4 teams, red, blue, green and, yellow team. Each team battles for who made the best cupcakes. Each team is allowed to make any cupcake that they want and have to figure out all the steps and ingredients that they need to make their cupcake. Mrs. Bernadette Sobel, the culinary teacher, steps back and let's the teams figure out what they think will be the best to win.
Special judges on Thursday, April 4: Mr. Frank Tupka, Senora Pamela Sheppard, Mrs. Meghan Hudson, and Ms. Emily Lockhart made an appearance in culinary to judge each team on presentation, taste, texture, and creativity. "I'm so excited to be here and see all the cupcakes and the hard work put in." says Hudson.
Each team had the opportunity to present theircupcakes and tell the judges what they made. After all the teams presented the judges were left to make the decision on the best cupcake. "It's so nice to see all the enthusiasm and hard work put into the cupcakes." said judge Sheppard.
Although, cupcake wars can be a lot of fun, it can also be challenging since you have to make everything from scratch and have to figure out any problems on their own.
Tim Fitzgerald, a senior, said, "We messed up the cupcake batter and didn't cook them long enough but, in the end we tried to pick the best but although we may not have won, it was a really fun time making the cupcakes." The green team made a vanilla cupcake with rainbow frosting.
In the end the team that won was yellow team, who baked a lemon raspberry cupcake. All of the other teams made amazing and delicious cupcakes and had fun throughout the process. The cupcake wars is just a friendly competition that was a fun way to display the baking skills of Mrs. Sobel's culinary 2 class.
Sarah Galaburri, Alina Goorhigian, Amaya Bernal and Evelyn Cespedes won Cupcake Wars in their class. Their winning cupckaes are located to the right .

Mice and rats are animals commonly used in research and laboratory testing. Compared to other animal species, they harbor many more zoonotic agents. Hymenolepis nana is a common tapeworm that parasitizes both humans and rodents. Although this tapeworm is of socio-economic importance worldwide, information related to its mitochondrial genome is limited. The current study examined the sequence diversity of 2 mitochondrial (mt) genes, subunit I of cytochrome oxidase ( cox1 ) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 ( pnad5 ), of H. nana in mice and rats from two geographical regions of Saudi Arabia (Makkah and Riyadh). Partial sequences of cox1 and pnad 5 from individual H. nana isolates were separately amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The GC contents of the sequences ranged between 31.6%-33.5% and 27.2%-28.6% for cox1 and pnad5 , respectively. The genomic similarity among specimens determined via cox1 primer and pnad5 primer was 97.1% and 99.7%, respectively. Based on these primers, our data did not indicate any differences between H. nana from rat and mice isolates. Results demonstrated that the present species are deeply embedded in the genus Hymenolepis with close relationship to other Hymenolepis species, including H. nana as a putative sister taxon, and that the isolates cannot be categorized as belonging to 2 different groups with origins in Makkah and Riyadh.

In Wales Mr Terry Tobin of Newport, Gwent, has good reason to think about the consequences of mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure.
His wife, Dorothy Tobin died from mesothelioma on the 7th May 2005. Her only exposure to asbestos occurred when, as a child, she used to sit on her father's lap in the 1950s when he came home at lunchtime from working at Newalls Insulation in Newport. She breathed in the fibres of asbestos attached to his clothes.
Her father Jim Pottinger died in 1969 from an asbestos related disease, believed to be mesothelioma. Her brother Jack Pottinger also worked at Newalls. He died from mesothelioma in 1999.
Her sister Beryl, also suffered from an asbestos related disease. Her only contact with asbestos was also from her father's clothing.
Valerie Jefferson's husband, Robert, was exposed to asbestos when he worked for an engineering company replacing boiler systems for the MoD. He was exposed to asbestos lagging in the early 1970s. In 2002 he was diagnosed with mesothelioma and died on the 14th June 2004.

Blog: How Tos
MS15-034. What you need to know
Joe Bursell 16 Apr 2015
Amongst the other recent patch Tuesday updates Microsoft released MS15-034. It deals with a "Vulnerability in HTTP.sys Could Allow Remote Code Execution".
HTTP.sys is a kernel-mode device driver that processes HTTP requests. Were it only present in Windows server versions the issue would be bad, but not quite as bad.
The thing with HTTP.sys is that it's inside Windows 7 and 8 desktop versions too, making these vulnerable as well.
That's quite a BIG DEAL.
The lowdown, in simple terms
The vulnerability isn't restricted to IIS, it's a Windows wide issue, affecting any software on any device that uses Windows' HTTP stack. It can be used to enable a DoS attack, it allows remote code execution, and if that isn't disturbing enough it can also be triggered from outside a network with a simple HTTP request.
We've not seen any hard factual proof of its exploitability as yet, but there is plenty of healthy speculation, comment, and PoC code. It's worth remembering that PoC code like this usually comes from people reverse engineering the patch with patch and vulnerability checkers in the public domain. What we don't know is what people may have discovered who are doing this privately.
Here's some of what we've found:
This is some PoC python code:
http://pastebin.com/ypURDPc4
…and this is that code ported to C:
http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/36773/
This is the PoC python code ported to Metasploit:
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/5150
This is the powershell PoC:
https://isc.sans.edu/diary/MS15-034%3A+HTTP.sys+%28IIS%29+DoS+And+Possible+Remote+Code+Execution.+PATCH+NOW/19583
Actionable attacks?
It's still very early days, and as I mentioned previously we've seen nothing in the wild. While
this tweeter claims that triggering MS15-034 and getting a blue screen of death / DoS is trivial plenty of others are not convinced, saying that that example is a simple vulnerability check.
Depending on who you read the basic detail is that a) It seems to cause blue screens or b) locks up vulnerable servers. In my book this makes it a functional DoS. The remote code execution doesn't seem to be proven yet but that's probably just a matter of time.
Patch. Apply the MS15-034 update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042553. Simple.
If you're unsure about what action to take then mull this over:
Of all the supposed APT enabled attacks (think Home Depot et al) the thing that made them so deadly effective wasn't the killer zero-day malware used to gain initial access, it was the lack of patching that allowed escalation and further access to data.

Transformation animations in Kingdom Hearts 3 are a part of the games spectacle. The KH3 Transformation animations play every time you perform the transformation move. It's cool and all, but it can get really tiresome after a while. So, some people have been wondering how to turn off the Kingdom Hearts 3 transformation animations. For those of you that are tired of watching these flashy scenes, here's our Kingdom Hearts 3 Transformation Animations – How to Turn Off guide to show you how to turn them off, or, at the very least, tone them down. Because, sometimes, you just want to get back into the fight fast.
How to Turn Off Transformation Animations in Kingdom Hearts 3?
To turn off the Transformation Animations in Kingdom Hearts 3, go into Config. From there, scroll down to the Keyblade Animations option. There are three settings to choose from here. One includes the whole shebang – the transformation, swooping camera angles, the works. The second tones the spectacle down a bit – you still get the lengthy animation, but at least the camera stays still. The third option is what you want. With this one, when you transform, you'll see an explosion, and the weapon will be ready to go. Admittedly, it still takes a split second. That said, you can be back in the fray much more quickly.
Side note: There's also a way to skip both Attraction and Link animations, if those annoy you, too. Just press Square if you're on PlayStation 4, or X on the Xbox One. Honestly, I wouldn't blame you in a million years if you ended up growing tired of all the animations. Sure, all of the explosions and fireworks look really cool in the beginning. However, after some ten plus hours, it gets so very tiresome. You just want to get back into the combat; the animations kinda end up getting in the way.
That'll about do it for turning off transformation animations in Kingdom Hearts 3. If you need help with something else, head over to one of our other Kingdom Hearts 3 guides. We have Golden Herc Figure Locations – Hercules Collectible, 100 Acre Wood Secret Entrance – Hunny Spout Keyblade & Home Again Trophy, and Arendelle Lucky Emblem Locations – Hidden Mickeys, among a number of others.

Q: Find an invertible matrix $P$ and a diagonal matrix $D$ such that $P^{−1}AP=D$. Here is the question i took a picture of it
enter image description here

A: You can do this in steps:

*

*Using characteristic polynomials, show that $A$ has eigenvalues $-3,-2,2$.

*Find the eigenvectors of $A$ corresponding to the eigenvalues.

*Set $P$ to be the matrix whose columns are eigenvectors of $A$. Set $D$ to have eigenvalues on its diagonal.

A: Eigenvalue decomposition of $A$ is $PDP^{-1}$.
$D$ is a diagonal matrix with diagonal elements equal to the eigenvalues of $A$, and $P$ is the corresponding matrix whose clumns are the eigenvectors of $A$. The reason is that $$AP=PD$$ which results in $$A=PDP^{-1}$$
You can use it to get $$D=P^{-1}AP$$

In QLD the federal candidate for Griffith has effectively retracted his support for a General Practitioner co-payment for Medicare ahead of the seat's by-election.
In South Australia, the opposition have made a pre-election promise to build a palliative care facility at Port Pirie Hospital, but the current government says they have significantly underestimated the cost.

Ovarian cancer breakthrough by Qld scientists – by Stephanie Small
Scientists at the Queensland University of Technology have discovered two key enzymes that make ovarian cancer resistant to chemotherapy. The finding could lead to a treatment to inhibit the enzymes and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Professor Judith Clements of the QUT said "Women often become resistant to the chemotherapeutic drugs that are used, and so this is the major problem: that even though the chemotherapy appears to work for a while, once they become resistant to it, there are no other drugs at the moment to help those women. We already have inhibitors made for these enzymes by one of our colleagues here at QUT that we use in our test tube experiments, and it works very well. But we would have to design a more clinically useful drug that works the same way in order to be able to translate that into the clinic." There are currently roughly 13,000 new cases of ovarian cancer in Australia each year, more than half of which are fatal.
Griffith LNP candidate, Bill Glasson, backs away from Medicare co-payment proposal ahead of by-election – by Latika Bourke
In QLD the federal candidate for Griffith has effectively retracted his support for a General Practitioner co-payment for Medicare ahead of the seat's by-election. Bill Glasson previously supported a proposed $6 fee per GP visit for patients to make the public aware that Medicare is not free; despite most working Australians paying a 1.5% Medicare levy on their income. The government's Commission of Audit was supposed release an interim report on the sustainability of the national health scheme by January's end, but has extended this to mid-February, after the Griffith by-election. Dr Glasson recently said Labour was the only party to ever support a co-payment. He said "We need a complete review of our health system…We need a sustainable Medicare system, we need a sustainable bulk-billing system" and Liberal Deputy Julie Bishop echoed his sentiments, accusing the Labour party of spreading pre-election fear about a Liberal GP tax. But Labour's health spokeswoman Catherine King believes otherwise, and said "Joe Hockey has made it loud and clear a GP tax is on the table".
Opposition promises funding for Port Pirie palliative care facility – no author listed
In South Australia, the opposition have made a pre-election promise to build a palliative care facility at Port Pirie Hospital, but the current government says they have significantly underestimated the cost. Health Minister Jack Snelling said that opposition leader Steven Marshall's $250,000 commitment is less than half the likely cost of building the proposed 3-bed facility. Palliative care patients at the hospital are currently situated in the general ward as there is no dedicated area for them. But Minister Snelling asserted the Labour government's commitment to the hospital, saying "We're very committed to improving palliative care facilities in the Port Pirie community and we're working towards a solution to see how we can fund that."
New mobile dialysis truck to visit kidney disease patients in outback SA – by Candice Marcus
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-01-29/new-mobile-dialysis-truck-to-tour-outback-sa/5225946
The South Australian health minister also announced the government's recent provision of a new mobile dialysis truck to service the remote communities on the state's APY lands. The minister said "It'll be a massive improvement for services for Aboriginal people on the lands who need dialysis", but did not mention whether the permanent facility the Labour government recently promised to construct would go ahead, leading to speculation that the purchase of the truck may be in place of the proposed permanent facility.

On May 5, 2015, Drew Brown obtained a 1.5 Million arbitration award against State Farm on behalf of a client who sustained a brain injury in a Greensboro, North Carolina motorcycle wreck. State Farm's highest offer in the case was $350,000.
Jeff Peraldo represented a middle aged man whose vehicle was struck at highway speed on Interstate 40 in Greensboro, N.C. The impact caused his vehicle to burst into flames and the client sustained serious burns over a large portion of his body. Pre-suit negotiations resulted in a settlement in the amount of 1,250,000.00.
James Faucher obtained a $1,087,500.00 settlement for a South Carolina man who was injured in a car wreck in 2010 in Alamance County. The injured client had approximately $350,000 in medical bills arising out of a rear end collision which including a back surgery. The defendants agreed to the settlement on the eve of trial at a second mediation.
Drew Brown represented a Wake Forest student who was injured by the negligence of a drunk driver following an off-campus party. In 2012, the firm successfully obtained the policy limits for the injured victim totaling $330,000 from the liability carrier (Nationwide) and the Underinsured Motorist Carrier (Geico).
Jeff Peraldo represented a Greensboro fire fighter who sustained a severe ankle injury when a vehicle struck him while he was operating his motorcycle. The insurance company for the at fault driver low balled the case for months by claiming the injuries were not as severe as they actually were. On the eve of filing suit, the case settled for the sum of $135,000.00.
James Faucher represented a gentleman who was rear-ended by an inattentive truck driver. This gentlemen was previously healthy, with no complaints of neck pain. The impact from the tractor-trailer disabled Mr. Faucher's client from work for more than a year, and ultimately required surgery to the gentleman's neck. By proving his client's inability to work, and that the neck injury was caused by the wreck, Mr. Faucher recovered more than $550,000 for his client.
Drew Brown represented an immigrant from the African country of Niger who was injured in a truck accident in Montgomery County in April 2007. The driver suffered a bulging disk at L4-5 causing an L5 radiculopathy. He eventually was forced to have back surgery in March 2008. He had medical bills of just under $40,000 and was out of work for two years. Brown negotiated a $310,000 settlement in the case with Scottsdale Insurance Company, the liability carrier for the at fault truck driver.
The firm represented an injured motorist who was hit from behind on a busy highway by another vehicle.
