Earth Vulnerable To Potential Catastrophic Asteroid Strike, White House Science Chief Says
By Jiran , Sep 15, 2016 03:22 AM EDT
According to John Holdren, director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, Earth is still vulnerable to a potential catastrophic asteroid strike and NASA has substantial progress in finding that asteroids can be a threat.
"We are not fully prepared, but we are on a trajectory to get much more so," Holdren said yesterday, Sept. 14 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, during a dialogue of the agency's planned Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM).
Holdren named the February 2013 meteor explosion over the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia and 1908 Tunguska airburst and these are reasons to take asteroid threat seriously.
Chelyabinsk was struck by a 65-feet or 20 meter-wide object resulting in 1,200 injured people. Whereas the Tunguska event was even more destructive. The space rock that hit Tunguska was about 130 feet wide or 40 meters and exploded over a mostly unpopulated region in Siberia. It flattened about 800 square miles or 2,070 square kilometers of the forest. Both of the events shocked the world.
"We know that this does happen." Said Holdren. "Strikes such as what happened in Chelyabinsk are thought to happen once in every hundred years, while Tunguska is regarded as a once in 1,000 years event."
The ARM can educate us, Holdren added. By late 2021, NASA is aiming to launch a robotic probe toward an asteroid near Earth. It is a 1,300 feet wide asteroid called 2008 EV5. After reaching the asteroid, the space probe will investigate the potential of a deflection strategy known as the "enhanced gravity tractor."
The agency officials said that the probe will return to Earth, eventually placing the boulder in orbit around the moon. Astronauts aboard NASA's Orion Space Capsule will then visit the purloined rock in the mid-2020s.
The ARM costs $1.25 billion. It is expected to help researchers learn more about asteroids and the resources they possess, demonstrate many of the technologies needed to get astronauts to Mars, help the agency practice human operations in deep space and improve the skills that will be needed to deflect a potentially dangerous asteroid someday.

List of New Features in Apple's Swift 5 language
By Hemendra Singh
AppleiOS
The introduction of the Swift programming language has been the most significant change to Apple's developer ecosystem. Now with the release of Swift version 5, Apple reached another major milestone.
Swift is Apple's open-source, fast, safe and general-purpose programming language with full stack capabilities. It aims at replacing C-based languages like C, C++, and Objective-C for everything from systems programming to mobile and desktop apps. You can use Swift to develop programs for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Linux. It also works with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and with many other existing Apple Objective-C code.
TIOBE Index featured Swift as one of the top 10 programming languages within the two years of its launch. In fact, Swift became the fastest growing language in the history of the TIOBE Index. This was a remarkable achievement. Swift quickly gained traction among ios app developers. When Apple launched Swift in 2014, it called it the "Objective-C without C".
The idea for developing this programming language was to make the ios app development task easier for ios app developers to create iOS apps. The very nature of the Swift programming language enables ios app developers to code faster than coding with Objective-C. In the meanwhile, Swift eradicates the compatibility issues that had existed while coding with Objective-C.
The need for Apple's Swift 5 language
In 2015 StackOverflow Developer Survey, Swift emerged as the "most loved" languages for iOS app development. Swift is simple, clean, yet expressive language with simplified grammar and syntax, making it easy to pick up even by a novice. It is also concise contributing to a significant reduction in ios app development time because it requires a lesser volume of code to perform a task. Swift is less error prone owing to better error handling capabilities and enhanced typing system. As a result, there are lesser code crashes compared to Objective-C. This also translates into quick bug fixing and prevents deployment of low-quality code.
Swift offers better performance. When Apple launched Swift, it claimed that apps will display up to 40% spike in performance compared to Objective-C. With the use of dynamic libraries, there is lesser memory footprint. Absence of static libraries means the memory is never clogged up. Swift also offered cross-device support. This means if you master Swift, you can not only develop iOS application for iPhones and iPads, but you can use it for the full span of Apple devices including Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Interestingly it also supports Linux and enjoys a large and vibrant developer community. There is a massive contribution from ios app developers for fixing bugs, adding more useful features and enhancing the language itself.
However, there were some obvious drawbacks with the previous versions of Swift which it tries to address through Swift 5. The biggest of them all is the ABI Stability Manifesto which tries to accomplish below goals.
The source compatibility – Version-lock has crippled the older version of Swift. The newer compilers with Swift 5 can compile code written in an older version of Swift.
Binary framework & runtime compatibility – Swift5 enables the distribution of frameworks in a binary form that can work across multiple Swift versions. It will achieve Binary framework compatibility through module format stability, which will help it stabilize the module file.
The biggest issue with Swift is that its application binary interface (ABI), is not stable. This is simple terms means, Apple can't include the Swift language support in its operating systems. That's because an app written with Swift 3 will not work with the language support binaries for Swift 4.
This will be changing with Apple's Swift 5 language!
The ABI stability and its importance?
As we have already discussed that the main reason for Apple's Swift 5 language is to establish Application Binary Interface stability across Apple platforms like macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
This means, with the newer version, Swift as a programming language has matured to the point where it no longer requires a huge change in the way its compiler works. This means the future versions can produce binaries conforming to the stable ABI. The stable ABI will persist for the rest of the platform's lifetime.
To understand this in simple terms means the code compiled with today's compiler does not require recompilation again for it to work reliably with dynamically linked libraries compiled in future versions of Swift.
This eliminates the need to bundle a known version of the standard libraries they use. The app can freely use any updated version of Swift provided by the OS. This is already happening with apps written in Objective C. Now it's possible even with App written in Swift with the advent of Swift 5.
Key Swift 5 features
Here are the Key Swift 5 features:
Swift binaries interact with other libraries and components at runtime through an ABI (Application Binary Interfaces).
The versions older than Swift 5 are not ABI stable. Therefore each binary (App), bundles its own version of Swift Dynamic Library. With Swift 5, the ios app developers no more require to bundle the binary (App) with their own version of Swift Dynamic Library. In the older version, the Swift does not live on the iOS Operating System, but within each App. Swift 5 has addressed this.
With ABI stability, the Swift will live within the iOS Operating System and therefore its ABI will be comfortable with every version of the Swift.
The programming language is not binary compatible with earlier Swift releases. But now no the future Swift releases will be binary compatible with Swift 5. The Binary compatibility allows Swift code compiled by different versions of Swift compilers to link together and interoperate at a runtime level.
The main focus for Swift 5.0
Apple's main focus always remained ABI stability for Swift 5.0. As we had discussed above that the Application Binary Interface (ABI) isn't stable for Swift versions lower than 5. Apple has fixed this in Swift 5. Since in the previous versions of Swift, Application Binary Interface (ABI) was not stable, it was not possible to ship it as part of iOS, like other frameworks and libraries.
But now since Swift has achieved stability in Application Binary Interface (ABI), Apple will ship Swift 5 as part of iOS. Any future compilers of Swift will be able to produce binaries that can run on the stable ABI that's part of iOS.
In the older versions of Swift, instead of connecting to the OS, every Swift based iOS app links to their own specific version of Swift. This has changed with Swift 5.0
This means now you can continue to develop apps with Swift while the Swift itself will be actively developed and still you won't run into the risk of ABI incompatibility. Apple will distribute the changes to Swift without updating iOS and that's the beauty of Application Binary Interface (ABI) stability.
New features update to the Swift programming language
Swift 5.0 supports callable types dynamically to improve interoperability with languages such as JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.
The new ios app development enforces exclusive access to memory for release and debugs builds. This is beneficial from Swift's safety enhancement perspective.
Swift 5.0 follows re-implementation of String, enforcement of exclusive access to memory, and new data types during run time.
Apple has re-implemented the string with UTF-8 encoding instead of UTF-16, in the standard library to enhance code speed. However, Swift stills inherit Objective-C's interoperability.
There is an enhancement in string literals delimiters to support the raw text. Now single-line and multi-line string literals work in Swift 5.0 and can contain any content.
Unicode has advanced text processing to them. Scalar type to support common.
To support common and advanced text processing, the Unicode. Scalar type maintains Unicode properties.
The library exposes a subset of operations on the SIMD types and most processors in the library support this.
Swift has made significant performance improvements to Dictionary and Set.
The programming language improves error handling through the addition of a Result type.
Swift Package Manager provides target-specific build settings, customized deployment targets, dependency mirroring and the ability to generate code coverage data.
iOS app developers can use the run command to import libraries in a read-event-print loop (REPL) without building an executable.
Other updates to the Swift programming language
The developer community can propose and discuss the changes to the Swift programming language on a GitHub repository called Swift Evolution. This is a very welcoming move for Swift developers.
This will enable anyone the ability to propose changes to the language. However, there's a process that the developer community will need to follow. For example, many proposed changes are first discussed in the Swift Forums, and in communities beyond.
The swift core team will review all the proposed changes publicly. The Swift core team consists of (former) Apple engineers like Chris Lattner and Ted Kremenek. You can find the list of all current and past proposals on Swift Evolution, in the proposals directory.
My name is Hemendra Singh. I am Managing Director and Co-Founder of The NineHertz, a Mobile App Development Company. My ideology is that, a clear vision and hard work builds a great company

Search engine optimization is constantly evolving, and that is what makes it a challenge. SEO has become incredibly complex over the years as Google considers over 200 factors to calculate search rankings. Also, all the search engines are constantly tweaking their algorithms to improve the search results for billions of queries made by their users.
This constant tweaking of algorithms also means that the factors that were important to rankings yesterday may not remain relevant tomorrow. Here is a list of some of the important trends in search engine optimization that have an important effect on the rankings today and are likely to see become even more important in the coming years. So, sit back and chew through the information provided below to get some perspective on the future of Search Engine Optimization.
You need to rethink your strategy if you still believe that obtaining top rankings on the first page of search results is all you need to do, in the future. Search engines have been increasingly introducing new features on the first page of search results that are taking clicks away from the top organic rankings. Some of these features include local packs, featured snippets as well as knowledge base panels among other things. A cursory look at the history of search engine results by Google will tell you why these changes are justified and expected.
These new features require you to take some important actions. You need to track all the rankings, and it's also important to monitor the search results for the targeted keywords to make sure that none of these features are taking clicks away from your website. There are tools available on the market that can help you accomplish this.
For instance, the SEO Power Suit Rank Tracker can help you track up to 15 SERP features on Google search results as well as organic results. Once you start a new project, the tool will show you all the features that are displayed in the search engine result pages in the Google search features column. These are highlighted in green for easy reference. The search analytics tab will allow you to measure the volatility of all the features.
Data is everything when it comes to search engine optimisation. This collective data will allow you to identify new opportunities to get more clicks to your web properties. For instance, it will tell you whether you need to get into the local pack or apply the knowledge graph. This ties up into our next topic of discussion which is Structured Data.
A special format and a special vocabulary are used for structured data. This structured data helps search engines in interpreting content better, and this is how the SERP features display this information.
Google has never confirmed that structured data plays a role in rankings and you may be wondering why anyone should try structured data if it's not that important. However, you need to understand that it still has a lot of benefits. Presenting data in a structured manner allows you to enhance the search engine listings in some important ways. Presenting content in structured form allows you to enhance the click-through rate from the search engine result pages by up to 30%. Some studies have also confirmed that better click-through rate also means better rankings.
Search engine results are increasingly becoming more diverse and structured data allows you to stand out. It's an opportunity for you to get more traffic to your website and shouldn't be ignored.
You should start right away. While there is quite a few structured schema but it's better to use the schema.org option. It's a good place to start, and you will easily understand the step-by-step format presented there.
Anyone who has been involved in SEO knows that Google gives weightage to the web page loading speed, but you also need to know that it's an important user experience factor. User experience can also improve your rankings. Here is what search engines mean by 'Fast'.
Google has provided an online tool called the PageSpeed Insights tool. You should use it to check the loading speed of your website. This feature is also integrated into the WebSite Auditor, and you just need to begin a new project to take advantage of this feature. Go to the Content Analysis section and enter the web page that needs to be tested. This will give you a full-blown analysis of the on-page factors, and it will tell you a lot about various technical factors as well as Page speed.
Google search algorithms have become a lot harder to convince about the quality of content present on a web page. In fact, it's much easier to get a penalty these days. A large number of tools are used by Google search algorithms to check the content quality, and one of these tools is known as Latent Semantic Testing. In simple terms, it means that these algorithms study millions of related texts to understand the context of content present on a web page. All these tools put together add quality to the search results.
The key to quality is to make your content comprehensive. You need to take a close look at all the top ranking webpages for your targeted keywords and figure out the common features. This is also how the Rankbrain algorithm works. It's not possible to do it manually, but you can do this analysis with the help of a specialized TF-IDF tool and WebSite Auditor. The report will provide you with a full list of all the related phrases and terms, sorted by the number of competitors using these terms.
If you do not take voice search seriously, you're going to be left behind. Google has recently reported that more than 50% teenagers as well as more than 30% adults regularly use voice search. In fact, one of the important Googlers, Behshad Behzadi, has also been quoted saying that voice search is the fastest-growing type of search. Since voice search is completely different from the normal search, it also requires a different kind of keyword research.
One of the best ways to get help on voice search is Rank Tracker. It can help you research questions that voice search users might ask. You can also use the free version of this tool for this. You just need to choose the features from the drop-down list along with the keywords.
It is estimated that more than 50% of searches on Google will be done through voice and on mobile devices of various shapes and forms. Also, most users connect to Google through their mobile devices, and this is the reason mobile friendliness has become more important than ever. You can ignore mobile traffic at your own peril.
Your first step should be to ensure that all the pages on your website are mobile friendly. WebSite Auditor allows you to test the mobile friendliness in the Content Analysis section. You just need to type in the page URL that needs to be tested and choose the friendliness for mobile in the technical factors to check for this factor.
It won't be wrong to say that the most important factor used by search engines for rankings is links from other domains and this is the reason most professionals in the SEO industry spend countless hours to get high-quality links. However, things have changed and these days, mentions that do not include any real links play an important role in rankings.
While you need to keep checking back links, you should also use a web monitoring tool to find out mentions of your brand as well as products online.


All residents whose property and/or land is adjacent to any watercourse has a responsibility to maintain it and to keep the water flowing freely without obstruction. Please read the document 'Living on the Edge' which is produced by the Environment Agency.
As a result of the devastating flooding in the village, the Parish Council is working closely with the Environment Agency to come up with means of reducing and mitigating the effect of flooding if this should occur again. An open meeting with the EA was held in the Reading Room in 2016, and affected residents were invited to comment and give their views. As they have the 'bigger picture' and can determine the water flow around the village as well as inside it, we are hopeful that they will come up with some ideas to help us.
"I wanted to update you on our current position with Yelvertoft Brook. Since the multi-agency flood 'drop-in' session was organised the Environment Agency has undertaken a number of initiatives surrounding the Yelvertoft Brook. During October, the EA carried out an internal inspection of the culvert that runs under the village to inform potential maintenance. No debris or issues with the culvert were identified. Also, having started a review of the hydraulic model of the Yelvertoft Brook to assess how the Flood Storage Area (FSA), adjacent to the Crick Road operates, we have now undertaken additional topographic survey to further investigate potential opportunities. These include increasing the capacity of the FSA, looking to improve the way the FSA discharges into the Yelvertoft Brook, reviewing historic flow paths and potential changes to the confluence with the Clay Coton Brook. On completion of the review, we will conduct a feasibility study to determine and identify any potential improvements to the existing Flood Alleviation Scheme. In addition, installation of a CCTV camera at the FSA enabling the Environment Agency, and the community of Yelvertoft, to remotely monitor, via the internet, how the FSA is operating. In addition, the Flood Warning Service has been expanded from Clay Coton to include Yelvertoft. Properties with a BT Landline and EE mobile number will be contacted to offer subscription to service. We would recommend that all properties at risk should sign up to receive free flood warnings. People can find out if they're eligible to receive flood warnings, and then register, by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188, or by visiting the website www.gov.uk/flood. This website also includes information on how to prepare and keep safe. The Section 19 Flood Investigation Report, which acts as a record of the event and any recommendations should be published shortly by Northamptonshire County Council. A link to which will be circulated when available. Lastly, should you have any questions regarding Flood Resilience and advice for the community, please contact my colleague Liz Fowler, the Flood Resilience Advisor for the area who I have copied into this E-Mail. Should you have any further questions, please let me know.
The Environmental Agency sent through their final report in April 2017. We strongly recommend residents take the time to read the report as they make several recommendations.
The Environmental Agency gave us several maps showing the flood areas in March 2016, sewers, Crick Road flood ponds etc. Please click on the following to view the maps.

We demonstrate Gaussian-shaped phase matching of a periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal by imposing a custom duty-cycle pattern on its grating structure while keeping the grating period fixed. The PPKTP's phase-matching characteristics are verified through optical difference-frequency generation measurements, showing good agreement with expected values based on our design parameters. Our theoretical analysis predicts that under extended phase-matching conditions the custom-poled PPKTP crystal is capable of generating heralded single photons with a spectral purity of 97%, and can reach as high as 99.5% with gentle spectral filtering, something that is highly desirable for photonic quantum information processing applications.

Fig. 1 Illustration of 50:50 duty cycle (left panel) and modulated duty cycle (right panel). Both cases have the same poling period, but the ratio of positive to negative domain segments changes along the length of the crystal when duty-cycle modulation is employed.
Fig. 2 Duty-cycle modulations for periodically-poled crystals. The blue curve shows the duty-cycle variation along the length of a custom-poled 12-mm-long PPKTP crystal, governed by Eq. (8). The red curve shows the duty cycle along the length of a uniformly poled, 50:50 duty-cycle PPKTP crystal of equivalent length.
Fig. 3 The measured data, a Gaussian fit to the data, and the predicted DFG output (proportional to |G(Δk)|2) of the custom-poled crystal are shown as a function of wavelength of the tunable probe laser λ2 with the pump-laser wavelength fixed at 790.9 nm. Blue points show the measured data, the blue curve shows the predictions from the numerical crystal model of Eq. (7), the dashed red curve shows a Gaussian function fit to the measured data. The same data are plotted on linear (left panel), and dB (right panel) scales. Uncertainties in the measured data are approximately ±3 × 10−3 or −25 dB.
Fig. 4 Entropy of entanglement Hψ from Eq. (13) (left panel) and heralded-state purity Pψ from Eq. (14) (right panel) as functions of FWHM pump bandwidth. The red curves show the results for the output state of a 8.1 mm long standard uniformly-poled PPKTP crystal, and the blue curves display the results for the output of our custom Gaussian duty-cycle modulated 12 mm long crystal. The black curves near the optimal pump bandwidth of 1.40 nm show the results for the output of our custom-poled crystal with mild filtering (8.5 nm FWHM filter). The dotted line on the purity plot at Pψ = 1 is the maximum possible purity.
Fig. 5 Calculated joint spectral amplitudes |β̃(λs, λi)G(Δk)| are shown in density plots for SPDC output states from a standard uniformly-poled 8.1 mm crystal (left panel) and for our Gaussian duty-cycle modulated 12 mm crystal (right panel). Side lobes are strongly suppressed in the state from the Gaussian duty-cycle modulated crystal. The legend on the right is in units of nm−2.

What is making children and teenagers obese? Is it poor eating habits or lack of physical activity? An online survey conducted among parents of children aged 5-17 years has revealed that it is a combination of the two.
The survey involving nearly 1,000 respondents from Delhi-NCR shows that children eat out a lot but barely indulge in physical activity. More than 78% teenagers (aged between 10 and 14 years) eat out 2-3 times a week, mostly junk food and aerated drinks. Among those aged between 5 and 9 years and adolescents (aged between 15 and 18 years), this percentage is 60% and 67%, respectively.
Dr Pradeep Chowbey, chairman of Max Institute of Minimal Access, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, which commissioned the survey, said that obesity in the growing years affects both physical and emotional well-being of children. "It is also linked to early onset of lifestyle diseases, like hypertension, diabetes and heart diseases," he added.
In the last few years, several initiatives have been taken by leading schools to encourage students to take part in sports and daily exercises. But most parents said children barely participate in them. They blamed technology influence (59%), lack of sporting infrastructure (46%) and overload of studies (41%) for this.
Many parents also blamed safety concern on public places for the inactive lifestyle of children. "Our survey shows parents are aware of the problem, but they aren't doing enough to prevent a crisis situation. Young parents should be conscious of the need to discourage children from eating out often.Also, there should be an environment at home to engage them in physical activity instead of becoming couch potatoes," said Chowbey. Experts said because there is no immediate effect on health in case of childhood obesity, people often tend to ignore the warning signs. "We must understand that a healthy childhood is the foundation of a healthy life," said the doctor.
He added that half of all non-communicable diseases — diabetes, heart disease, kidney dysfunction and hypertension — can be prevented by reducing obesity among children. Various surveys conducted in Delhi's schools have shown nearly two out of every 10 students in private schools are either overweight or obese. Those studying in government-run schools are also falling prey to obesity and only timely action can save them.

American author Barbara Ehrenreich seems to have decluttered her Twitter feed and deleted a racist tweet about Marie Kondo.
Barbara Ehrenreich, 77, later confessed to hating Marie Kondo, the author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.
Japanese Kondo, 34, uses a translator on the Netflix series "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo," where she helps homeowners clean their homes with the help of minimalism.
"As for her language: It's OK with me that she doesn't speak English to her huge American audience but it does suggest that America is in decline as a superpower," Ehrenreich tweeted Monday.
Ehrenreich's tweets didn't make her point of view any better.
"I like how you deleted the first racist tweet and followed up with another racist tweet but this time with imperialism," a twitter user responded.
All the social media backlash prompted an apology from Ehrenreich.
"Sorry to anyone offended by my tweet about Marie Kondo! Sometimes my attempts at subtle humor just don't work," Ehrenreich said.
However, the apology brought on more criticism.
"We understand the difference between "subtle humor" and racism. It's a pity you apparently don't & don't seem to have learned a thing at all from this," Twitter user M. Trota Fieriosa wrote.
"Not subtle, not humorous. Racism and imperialism never are," another tweet read.

Gurmit Singh was scared & 'ready to migrate' after Goh Chok Tong called out Phua Chu Kang's Singlish
'I just wanted to have fun and make people laugh, suddenly I'm like [a] terrorist or something.'

"Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd" is one of the rare local productions that outlived its airtime.
The 167-episode sitcom, which spanned a decade from 1997 to 2007, starred Gurmit Singh, Irene Ang, Pierre Png, Tan Kheng Hua, Marcus Ng, Neo Swee Lin, and Lim Kay Siu.

The cast recently reunited on "On The Red Dot", where they reminisced about their time on set.
But it was not all glam and glory—for a period, their use of Singlish on national TV became a point of contention.
"Don't play play"
Back then, the show had become so pervasive that phrases like "don't play play" and "abuden" were picked up by the audience.
Gurmit recalls parents complaining about the phenomenon during Season 2, and it became such a "serious thing" that the actor got letters, emails, phone calls to watch the National Day Rally, where Phua Chu Kang and Gurmit himself would be mentioned.
People were apparently unhappy with the Singlish used, and then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong had said in his speech,
"Teachers complained that students are picking up catchphrases like 'Don't play play'. The students may think that it is acceptable, and even fashionable, to speak like Phua Chu Kang.
Gurmit Singh can speak many languages, but Phua Chu Kang speaks only Singlish. If our children learn Singlish from Phua Chu Kang, they will not become as talented as Gurmit Singh."
Rewatching the scene on "On The Red Dot," Gurmit laughed wryly.
But it was a different story when the speech first aired—back then, the actor was so scared, he was ready to migrate.
"I just wanted to have fun and make people laugh, suddenly I'm like [a] terrorist or something," he said.
The crew was also concerned that they would have to stop production at the Prime Minister's behest.
"A 'lah' is not a swear word. Why are we treating it as if someone has said some vulgarities?" writer and director Esan Sivalingam questioned.
In response to Goh's speech, the producers tweaked the language used in the show and had Phua Chu Kang complete an English course at the start of Season 3.
"Actually Singlish is the only thing that connects us with people from all walks of life," (Pierre) Png, who played Phua Chu Kang's brother, expressed.
"It's our language," Gurmit added.

My name is Bill Corum. I spent the first 39 years of my life chasing after money, power, and influence. In the process I have been locked up in ten different states, I have ridden over 2500 miles in handcuffs, leg irons, and waist chains. I have been in riots in prisons, I escaped once from a prison, I have been in over 25 car and motorcycle wrecks, eight of those I should have died in. I have overdosed several times and had two heart attacks from doing cocaine.
I became involved with the Kansas City Underworld and ultimately became an enforcer for them. I liked what I saw in the lifestyle of the guys I was doing work for, and determined to become one of them.
By 1982 I had achieved the goals I was after. I was implicated as being one of the leading cocaine dealers in Kansas City, Missouri and was selling so much cocaine that I had enough money to do anything I wanted to do. If I wanted to spend $10,000 today, I did, because tomorrow I had another $10,000. I stayed in $500 a night hotels, rode in limousines and even bought $20,000 worth of cocaine for a party one night. So I finally had the money I had always wanted.
I found out that I had enough power to make a phone call and have someone killed. So I finally had the power I had always wanted. I had enough influence that when I was arrested on an attempted murder charge, I was out of jail in less than twelve hours, without ever seeing a judge. I was arrested at 2:00pm on September 5, 1982, which was a Sunday, and when you get arrested on a weekend, you usually aren't going anywhere till Monday morning when a judge can arraign you and set your bond. When I was allowed to make my phone call I called a city councilman that I was selling cocaine to and told them to make a call, they in turn called a judge that I was selling cocaine to and that judge instantly got the ball rolling and I walked out of jail at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, less than twelve hours after I had been arrested. If you are selling cocaine to a judge, he doesn't want you in jail.
I finally had the money, power, and influence that I had always wanted, but there was still something desperately wrong. I had no peace in my life, I got nervous if I saw a girl scout, because she had a uniform on and that represented authority to me and authority scared me. If I was in a restaurant eating and a cop came in, I went in the bathroom and went out the window. He probably wasn't even after me, he was just hungry.
By this timeI had a $500 a day cocaine habit, smoked 3 packs or more of camel non filters a day. Sometimes I would drink 2 quarts of whiskey a day, smoke all the dope I could and do any pill I could. I sometimes tell people, I would have taken a birth control pill, if I could get high on it. I used to kiss my wife good bye, and say I will see you tonight, then wouldn't come home for three or four weeks. I carried two pistols everywhere I went, and sometimes carried a briefcase with an UZI in it. I never saw my kids and didn't care about anything except what made me feel good and getting my next deal done.
The criminal case I was now involved in had been reduced from attempted murder to first degree assault with intent to kill and carried 15 years to life in the state of Missouri. I was also facing 5 to 15 on another charge, so I was facing minimum of 20 years and a maximum of life. I couldn't carry on a conversation with you, because in the middle of a sentence, I would forget what I was saying, because my mind was so burnt up with drugs and alcohol.
On April 15, 1983 while sitting in an old farm house away from Kansas City, I said, "God, if you are real, and you can change me, I will live my life for you." I have not done an illegal drug since 1983, I have not taken a drink of alcohol since 1983, and I have not been with any woman except my wife since 1983. I have peace that I never knew was possible. I feel like the richest man on earth, because God gave me back my wife.
That moment on April 15, 1983 changed my life for ever. Thanks to God, I will never be the same.

Hafiz Sulejman Pačariz (1900 — 1945) was an Islamic cleric of Albanian origin and commander of the detachment of Muslim militia from the village of Hisardžik (Prijepolje, modern-day Serbia) during the Second World War. When Germans took over control over Sandžak in 1943 Pačariz was appointed as commander of SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak. Forces under his command were referred to as Pačarizovci (meaning "those belonging to Pačariz"). He allegedly led his forces while riding a black horse. In 1945, Pačariz was captured, put on trial, found guilty for massacres of civilians and executed as war criminal.

Early life
Pačariz was born in Bioča near Berane in 1900. His father was the local khawaja, or Muslim religious leader. In 1912, during the First Balkan War, his village was set on fire by the Army of Montenegro, so his family fled, first to Lozna near Bijelo Polje and then to Brodarevo where his father became the local imam. In 1922, the Chetniks killed his father because he supported the local outlaw Jusuf Mehonjić. Until that time, Sulejman was a member of Yugoslav gendarmerie. After the murder of his father, Sulejman joined the outlaws of Mehonjić for a short time and joined the gendarmerie again. Before 1930, he accepted the position of imam in Hisardžik. In 1938 Pačariz accepted the position of military imam in the county of Bar.

World War II

Within the Ustaše

At the beginning of the Second World War in Yugoslavia, Ustaše forces of the Independent State of Croatia occupied Sandžak and appointed Pačariz, together with some other Muslim notables from Sandžak, on paid positions of military officers of the Sandžak Muslim militia. They were initially given the ranks of Major, and engaged against the Serbs who were part of the Chetniks. By September of 1941, the Ustaše handed control over Sandžak to the Italians.

Within the forces of Italy
At the end of autumn of 1941, Montenegrin communists attempted to negotiate with Pačariz but failed to convince him and his subordinated officer to join the Partisans. Pačariz mobilized Muslims who lived in Prijepolje, on the right bank of Lim and the former municipalities of Velika Župa and Seljašnica. He received some weapons and military equipment from Ustaše and later from the Italians. Pačariz often reported bigger number of militiamen under his command and kept for himself their monthly salaries received from the Italians.

In mid-November of 1941, a Chetnik unit of 40 men went to Kosatica and attempted to disarm the Muslim militia that were commanded by Sulejman Pačariz. The militiamen refused to surrender their arms, and in a subsequent struggle, a firefight engaged where two of them were killed while one Chetnik was wounded. To revenge death of his two men, Muslim militia under command of Pačariz attacked one part of Kosatica that populated by some Serbs and captured, brutally tortured, and killed seven Serbs from Kosatica.

Battle of Sjenica

On the 22nd of December, 1941, forces of the Muslim militia from Hisardžik and Sjenica that were commanded by Pačariz, successfully repelled the attack of Partisans who attempted to capture Sjenica. 18 Partisans were captured during this battle. Pačariz occasionally visited them in Sjenica's prison. In February of 1942, Pačariz was convinced by the command of Italian forces in Prijepolje to go to Sjenica and escort the 18 Partisans who were captured in that battle. The Italians intended to exchange  the captured Partisans for some of the captured Italians. He escorted 13 Partisans to Prijepolje, leaving the 5 other wounded Partisans in Sjenica. All the Partisans that Pačariz brought to the Italians were shot and killed in the Purića stream, below Srijetež.

Pačariz would establish the so-called "flying platoon" of his most loyal men. He used the unit to forcefully mobilize people and to force wealthier Muslims to buy arms from him. Those who opposed him were brutally beaten and terrorized. Together with other commanders of Muslim militia (including Husein Rovčanin) he participated in a conference in village of Godijeva, and agreed to attack the Serb villages near Sjenica and other parts of Sandžak.

Within the forces of Germany

Following his appointment to the post of Höhere SS-und Polizeiführer Sandschak (Higher SS and Police Leader Sandžak) in September 1943, Karl von Krempler came to be known as the "Sandžak Prince" after his relatively successful formation of the SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak. He went to the Sandžak region in October and took over the local militia of around 5,000 men headquartered in Sjenica. This formation was sometimes thereafter called the Kampfgruppe Krempler or more derisively the "Muselmanengruppe von Krempler". As the senior Waffen SS officer, Karl von Krempler appointed Pačariz as the formal commander of the unit, but as the key military trainer and contact person with German arms and munitions, remained effectively in control. Pačariz participated in the Axis organized Operation Kugelblitz that started on 4 December 1943. In 1944, Pačariz personally killed his unit commander Hamda Bajraktarević during the meeting, because of Bajraktarević's attempts to create cooperation with partisans.

In November 1944, after taking many losses from the Partizans, Pačariz and together with his units, retreated to Sarajevo where SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak was put under command of Ustaše General Maks Luburić. Pačariz was promoted to the rank of Ustaše Colonel.

Death

In 1945 Pačariz was captured near Banja Luka. where he was put on trial and found guilty for massacres of civilians. He was executed as a war criminal.

Pačariz is also commemorated in a song.

I flew from Newark to Heathrow on the 21.25 departure on a Saturday evening. Upon arrivals, the dopey taxi driver dropped me on level 3 despite me telling him to go to level 1. Thankfully ground staff helped me with my bags to the check-in counter. Check-in was fast and staff were very friendly.
There was a fast-track lane at security, but as only one lane was open the queue was long and the wait even longer. This looks set to continue in the future due to the US budget cuts impacting airports. The queue was made no longer by a young teenager who had already passed through security and while looking for the toilets had managed to walk back to the public departure hall. This caused a security incident and some angry officials and parents. I thought the teenager did very well in showing the holes in US Customs and Border Control, but I kept this to myself.
Once through security, I made my way to the lounge via the elevator. A note to those who don't like elevators – these are slow and take a while to open, but do work. Upon arrival at the lounge, I was told that my flight was a sleeper flight so I was shown to the area where I could have dinner. The buffet was not as extensive as JFK, but it was very good and staff couldn't do enough. After dinner, I headed to the gate and noted that the BA plane was beside the Virgin flight flying the same route. The Virgin flight was an hour late, but thankfully our flight was on time!
Boarding started early and premium passengers boarded after those with children or who need help wit boarding. The first thing I noticed was the bad mood of the cabin crew on my side of the business class cabin. Neither of this could raise a smile and were downright rude to the 2 American couples who were traveling to London for the first time. I was embarrassed and told them all Brits are not as moody as the crew and we had a good laugh.
I didn't try the entertainment for two reasons – I wanted to sleep and the AVOD has not been upgraded so is painful to manage. This plane gets upgraded in May. I slept for just over 5 hours and had no breakfast as I prefer the arrivals lounge.
Interesting review. Sadly it's often the case that BA crews let the rest of the service down. Good that you had a laugh with the US visitors though – after a BA crew and UK immigration staff they might just have turned round and gone home!
Sorry to hear the bad crew experience Shortie….
Shame Henkel had to add his tuppence and generalise BA crew as overall disappointing!
I would class 4/8 as 'often', if one takes the dictionary definition of 'often' as being frequently – 50% is not infrequent.
The other 4 were really good or better.
I have to agree with HT that the cabin crew make or break a journey. Which is sad as they choose to be there as do customers.
Good to know that proper Performance Management is now in place, though it was strongly resisted by the Union.
It's astonishing this hasn't always been the case.
It takes a lot to build a good reputation, it takes a few to ruin it.
Let's not try to blame it on the messenger, but let the responsible managers at airlines earn their wages. Too often a bad experience is due to the interaction between people going wrong. People in the service industry are required to be able to handle situations in a professional manner. Sometimes they are just not handed the tools to fullfil their duties as required. A little understanding and sympathy goes a long way and makes for a more pleasant experience.
And if you dont like what is happening to you? Fly another airline next time or find another job, depending which side of the equation you are on.

Geschichte
1881 wurde die Gewerbliche Schule Tokio (, Tōkyō shokkō gakkō) gegründet. Diese war, außer der Universität Tokio, die erste staatliche technische Schule in Japan. 1890 wurde sie in Technische Schule Tokio umbenannt, und 1901 entwickelte sie sich zur Höheren Technischen Schule Tokio (, Tōkyō kōtō kōgyō gakkō).

1923 zerstörte das Große Kantō-Erdbeben die Schulgebäude, und 1924 zog die Schule vom Gründungsort () in den heutigen Ōokayama-Campus um. 1929 wurde sie eine gesetzliche Daigaku (Hochschule) und wurde in Technische Hochschule Tokio umbenannt.

Sie war eine der drei japanischen staatlichen technischen Hochschulen vor dem Pazifikkrieg (Tokio, Osaka und Ryojun). Nur die Technische Hochschule Tokio blieb bis heute bestehen; die Technische Hochschule Osaka wurde 1933 zur Kaiserlichen Universität Osaka zusammengelegt und die Technische Hochschule Ryojun im japanisch besetzten China wurde 1945 geschlossen.

Shared services offer a number of wonderful benefits for small VARs and MSPs including low-cost, efficiency, breadth of support and 24/7 operation to name a few. These are great features when your business is growing and you are new to offering services. However as you grow, your needs may shift some and the shared services model becomes less attractive. In fact, some of the items that are most attractive about the model when you are new to selling services are the very things that make shared services so unattractive as your services business matures. We will be discussing some of the drawbacks of shared services for mature MSPs and ultimately some solutions in upcoming posts.
To manage the environments for many end customers spread out across a hundreds or thousands MSPs, shared services providers must unify all their processes. This means they have one way of doing things and that way applies to all their MSPs. This approach allows them to spread out the work across a large team; allowing any team member to do work for any MSP, since all the processes are consistent. This is fine or even preferable when you are starting your services business because you have not yet developed your own processes and your customers are likely smaller and willing to adapt or even unaware of the underlying processes. As you grow your team becomes more sophisticated and you begin to attract larger and more demanding customers. At this point you may want to specify things like what days to perform patching or how escalate alerts. In a shared services model, your provider is unable to give you his flexibility. Many will even try, but the end result will not be good, because every time they do a patch or alert escalation for one of your customers, it ill be an exception for their team and an opportunity for an error. This becomes even more problematic when you need different processes for a few big customers.
Our next post will talk about the efficiency sea-saw and delivery consistency.
